BEGIN!

     A Baryonyx is fishing in his river home, near northeast portion of the island. However, below the surface, two reptilian eyes peer through the murky water at him. After a bit, it rushes in. The Baryonyx smacks it with his giant claw, and pulls it out of the river with his jaws. He sees it’s a large crocodile, and walks over to the shore to eat. During his meal, he feels something large slash deep into his side, just above his hip. He roars in pain, and faces his new attacker.

     The creature is a large Suchomimus. It hisses at the Baryonyx, and bites her neck. The Baryonyx roars in pain and surprise and desperately tries to slash his attacker. After a few slashes to the Suchomimus’s left arm, the creature lets go, and backs off a bit. Then, the Baryonyx charges. However, before it can attack, something large rushes out of the nearby mangrove swamps and intercepts the attack. It knocks the Baryonyx to the ground and slashes and bites it while the Suchomimus watches. The Baryonyx desperately tries to defend himself from his attacker, a large male Oxalaia.

     Nearby, a female Siamosaurus is attracted to the scent of a potential meal. She walks into the river, and swims to the battle site. However, halfway through the wide river, something pulls it under. A large sail rises to the surface and goes back under. It isn’t too long before the heavily wounded spinosaur swims to the surface, with a large male Spinosaurus chasing her. The Spinosaurus, more adapted to the water, quickly catches up with her. He bites down on the Siamosaurus’s tail, and swims downward. The Siamosaurus struggles to get to the surface, and eventually she does, but it costs her the end of her tail. The Spinosaurus eats the chunk of meat while the Siamosaurus swims to the shore. However, when she limps out of the water, she’s met with a new challenge.

     A large male Irritator roars at her. She hisses, not looking for a fight. However, the creature charges her, and bites down on her sail as she tries to run away. The Siamosaurus struggles to free herself, and after a lot of biting and slashing, the Irritator lets go, growling. Then, as the Siamosaurus runs off, the Irritator follows her and rams the creature to the ground. Then, he slashes her side with his toe claws, but then she slashes his other leg with her claws, hissing. The Irritator snarls at her, and then stomps on her head. After that, he bites down on her neck and shakes her around. After a while, the Siamosaurus is dead, and the Irritator roars in victory.

     Seeing the possibility of a free meal while the Oxalaia finishes up his meal, the Suchomimus walks up to the fresh kill and hisses at the Irritator. It roars back, and approaches his new challenger. Both creatures roar, and then charge each other. Their heads collide, and they slash at each other. Eventually, the Suchomimus backs off a bit and the Irritator hisses. Then, the Suchomimus charges, and rams into the Irritator. He bites down on the creature’s neck, and slashes at his side. The Irritator roars in pain and squirms around, trying to free himself from the slightly larger carnivore. The Suchomimus kicks the Irritator a few times, bringing the creature to the ground. Then, the Suchomimus starts tearing apart the wounded creature, and walks over to the dead Siamosaurus. He begins eating, but before long, he sees a large shape emerge from the river.

     The creature is the Spinosaurus from earlier.  The Suchomimus hisses, ready to defend his meal. The Spinosaurus roars back, and slams his jaws onto the Suchomimus’s neck. He rears up onto his hind legs and shakes the Suchomimus around while slashing at it with his claws. Then, the Spinosaurus walks over to the river, and smacks the near dead creature against the surface, leaving the mortally wounded creature for dead. The Spinosaurus looks around, and sees the Oxalaia trespassing his territory.

     The Spinosaurus walks on all fours over to the creature, which is almost as large as him, and hisses. The Oxalaia turns around, and sees the seemingly small creature challenge him. The Oxalaia roars at the Spinosaurus, and the Spinosaurus rears up onto his hind legs. It hisses at the Oxalaia, and both growl. The Spinosaurus makes the first move, and smacks the Oxalaia in the face with his long claws. The creature roars in pain, and slashes the Spinosaurus’s neck, and it roars in surprise. Then, as the Oxalaia attempts to slash the Spinosaurus again, he clamps his jaws on the Oxalaia’s snout. He shakes the creature around, before letting go. Then, he slashes the Oxalaia in the neck. As the disorientated Oxalaia backs off a bit, the Spinosaurus gives an ear-splitting roar, and charges. He bites down on the Oxalaia’s neck and starts slashing at its sail and sides. Eventually, the Oxalaia drops down onto all fours, and the Spinosaurus slashes the Oxalaia’s head a few times. Finally, the Spinosaurus kicks the creature to the ground, drops onto all fours, and starts biting at the Oxalaia’s neck.

     The Spinosaurus grips onto the Oxalaia’s head, and pushes down its side with his other hand while the Oxalaia struggles to free himself. Eventually, he pulls the creature’s head off, and throws it into the river. The Spinosaurus roars in victory, and eats from the carcass a bit. After that, he walks over to a shady spot and begins sleeping, as smaller predators move in to eat the four spinosaur carcasses.

Winner: Spinosaurus

Size, agility, and mainly spending most of the batle in the river helped him win the Dinosaur Death Duels 10th fight special.
