The Strongest Beast Tamer

Staring at each other the Rocs seemed to come to a mutual agreement, the next move will determine who dies.

Taking advantage of its height, the stronger Roc began descending at insane speeds, quickly breaking the sound barrier creating at large shock to echo throughout Alice Springs.

The weaker Roc noticing what was about to happen attempted to move, only slightly dodging the attack, barely preventing it from hitting any vital points but instead crushing it's left wing.

The stronger Roc was shocked after hitting the ground at such speeds and recoiled its head.

Noticing this weakness, the weaker Roc quickly began to Jab its neck stunning it more, before jumping up slightly to grab its wings. Once it had gotten hold of the wings it began ripping them, blood and feathers spread around them.

The stronger Roc screeched in pain, quickly turning its head around it bit the other's throat, ripping a small bit of it quickly bit, again and again, trying to rip its throat apart.

Weakened and almost dead and Roc fell down, taking advantage of that the other Roc got on top of it, placing one talon on the throat and the other around its head before ripping the head off.

...

As the fight ended, Chloe had already started the car and hid it behind the large trees.

Quickly taking at her phone she called her Husband, Darius.

*Bzzt, Bzzt* *Bzzt, Bzzt*

"Hey, Chloe are you alright?! Where are you, are you safe? Where are the kids, are they safe? What about the town, is it alright? Do you think they could fly a place at Adelaide?" Darius began rapidly firing off questions.

Chloe began answering everything quickly, "Yes I'm alright and I'm currently on top of the hills, the kids are with me and they are safe, the town has certainly seen better days, but it seems alright and I really wouldn't suggest flying anything".

"Huh, why's that?" Darius questioned over the phone.

"Maybe because I just saw two birds the size of a house fight, one of which was able to break the sound barrier when descending. That beast could tear a damn place in two if it wanted," Chloe responded.

"Anyway, you should probably get out of Alice Springs, either drive towards me or Darwin," Darius said.

"Why? Why can't we stay in Alice Springs?" Chloe asked Darius.

"Because it'll be dangerous, many venomous/poisonous animals and insects have probably evolved, and you'll be surrounded with no protection. Not to mention you won't be getting any sort of supplies anytime soon, with those beasts wandering about no one's risking their life," Darius responded with.

"Huh, okay. I'll head your direction, after all, it'll be a while before planes are flying again. Where will you be staying? The mines are certainly a no go as well right?" Chloe said.

"Okay, I'll be waiting in Mount Barker and yeah, those mines are definitely a no go, haha," Darius said and chuckled before hanging up.

Staring at everyone else in the car Chloe informed them, "We'll be going to Darius. Jack and Adam keep a constant lookout for any unusual movements in the surroundings".

Jack and Adam nodded, Chloe began navigating the car through the large trees and thick shrubbery. Slipping past the gap between the fence they made it on the road next to the petrol station.

Taking a quick look in front of her she noticed the road had cracks and gaps covering it, thick tree/bush roots channelling underneath and through the road.

Chloe looked towards the petrol station, deciding whether or not to refuel and stock up on food or not. However, before she could decide blood splashed across the windows of the petrol station.

Someone quickly came running out, half their body drenched in blood, but before they could even get 10 metres away and spiderweb shot out encasing the person and dragging it back in. The person was screaming and crying, noticing the car they begun to stare at it yelling, begging for some help.

Chloe was frozen at her steering wheel, she had never seen a person killed before and didn't want to. But her body was preventing her from helping, making her fear whatever beast was inside the station.

Seeing no help coming, the person could only accept what was about to happen, closing their eyes and covering their ears will maybe making it less scary. A massive leg shot out of the station, crushing the person's head, it then shot back into the station along with the body.

Chloe finally, managed to snap out of it and started driving again, only going 20 - 30km/h. A minute went by and they were finally on the main road, although the main road's situation wasn't any better than the side road, at least the middle part was clear of any holes.

Chloe began accelerating, 20, 30, 40, 50, up to 60km/h before she stopped accelerating after all the road was messy, and she didn't want any unexpected holes to appear in front of her.

Driving down Stuart Highway, she knew their next stop will be Stuarts Well Roadhouse, they should be able to refuel and get food, well, at least she hoped.
