...What's this? AN EPILOGUE CHAPTER?! AFTER I SAID THE STORY WAS OVER?! WHY?!

Well, I wanted to clear up what, exactly, happened to some of the cast in Demise of the Dinosaurs whose fates were essentially glossed over. So, enjoy.

The Dakotaraptor pair trotted through the plains, trying to remain ahead of their prey. Far to their right, a female Tyrannosaurus was chasing a flock of ornithomimosaurs and oviraptorids. The female rex was limping, and her left leg had clearly been gored by a ceratopsian. Normally, such fast prey would be beyond her ability to catch, and now that should be even more true, given her injuries. Still, she refused to stop pursuing them. Clearly she was desperate.

The terrain was in her favor, though - her prey was heading toward a pass that would force them between a hill and a river, narrowing them into a position where they could easily be attacked. The raptors were also aware of this and were trying to head them off, so that hopefully, they could take down one of the fat runners for themselves - food was scarce enough as is, and they'd already been forced to leave their nest to search for more prey. Hopefully, they could return in a few hours, kill in claws.

As they crested the hill that the river was just behind, though, they found themselves staring at a peculiar sight: before them were a pair of dinosaurs they had never seen before. All that mattered was that they had long necks, long tails, armor on their back...and were very, very big...…

The Alamosaurus pair trudged onwards, still searching for their herd. They had been migrating for several months now, trying to reunite with their herd they had lost in the dust storm, unaware that they traveled in entirely the wrong direction. Their travels had taken them here, to what man would call Montana, even though they did not know or care about that fact. Still, while they had managed to stave off starvation on their travels, they had yet to reunite with their herd. Overhead, their pterosaur followers were flying, now joined by a pair of native azdharchids and a pair of tapejarids, the latter two late survivors among their kind. As the sauropods had yet to keel over, and were now unlikely to do so in the foreseeable future, the pterosaurs had settled for eating anything they could find, though they still followed the giants, in case some opportunity showed itself.

Now, however, something new had caught the giant dinosaurs' attention.

Here, between a hill and a river, a group of strange, bipedal creatures were busy piling Logs on top of each other. One of those creatures, upon seeing them, promptly stopped carrying the logs and began to approach them. Curious, the sauropods lowered their heads so that they could get a better look at it.

The creature had strange colored skin - tan and pink in some places, blue and greyish brown in others. It also had fur on its head, but longer than the fur on any mammal the sauropods had ever seen. It held its back vertically, instead of horizontally. Lastly, it didn't seem to be scared of the sauropods. If anything, it just seemed curious.

The sauropods wanted to look at it for a while longer, but then a shriek filled the air.

The raptors charged down the hillside. Though the sauropod was beyond their ability to take down, the funny skinned creature was not. Normally, they would not have given away their position with shriek, but hunger was causing them to ignore their instincts for the sake of filling their bellies. Within minutes, they were approaching striking distance.

Then a huge form landed nearby them. It was a giraffe sized pterosaur. A second soon appeared beside it, followed by two smaller pterosaurs, as well as two more with strange crests. Instantly, the raptors began hissing at the pterosaurs - they were too hungry to be afraid of the larger killers, and they would not retreat from such an easily available food source. The smaller pterosaurs milled about in confusion, unsure what to do, but making sure to stay away from the raptors, while the sauropods seemed to be deciding on which of the predators they wanted to kick.

Then a familiar bellow filled the air. Turning toward it, all of the creatures watched as the herd of ostrich and egg stealing dinosaurs thundered toward them, followed by one very hungry female Tyrannosaurus.

Instantly, all former animosity was forgotten, as predator and prey charged away from the Tyrannosaurus, among them the sauropods who, despite being immune to attack by the tyrant dinosaur, would prefer to avoid her presence. A strange light suddenly appeared before them, and when they passed through it, the dinosaurs (and errant pterosaurs) found themselves in a new location, one very unlike where they had just been. For one thing, there were less conifers. Additionally, it was very humid.

Soon, more of the strange bipeds appeared, herding the mixed horde into special clearings for each of them, before providing them with food according to their diet. The raptors greedily devoured the meat they were given, glad to finally have something to sate their bellies.

Later still, all of the non-titanic dinosaurs were herded onto strange creatures that took them to new and unique places. The raptors were moved to a forest, the oviraptorids to a scrub, and the ornithomimosaurs to an open plain with a rather large pond in it. As for the sauropods, they were moved to a titanic pampa where they were free to wander, with the pterosaurs being moved to a large enclosed canyon, filled with fish, fruit, and meat for them to devour to their heart's content.

None of the dinosaurs knew this, but all of them had been given a second chance at survival. A second chance in the face of extinction.

AN: Yep, you read that right - the Dakotaraptors, Alamosaurus pair, and pterosaur group in this story were the same ones that were rescued in Prehistoric Park: Returned From Extinction. This was something I had planned from the minute the story was written, so here it is.

Anyway, read and review! This is Flameal15k, signing off!
