Ticklish Tyranny

Grump vs Love Monkey - Part 2 (Remake)

This is a remake of the last chapter. It was done, because ELROart (Deviantart username) the requester wanted some changes made to the original chapter. I hope that people like the remake! 🙏👍

The orange dinosaur walked along the lake edge for some distance, narrowing her eyes as she looked. Finally, Neera saw a familiar purple dinosaur lying down by the edge, not far away, just staring out across the lake.

Kron.

She walked closer, just to check. It WAS him; same scarred face, same permanent grumpy expression. Neera sighed.

I hope this works. Hope that he is cheered up. She then heard heavy footsteps and turned to see a shockingly familiar face.

"Neera", a heavily scarred, brown dinosaur said. He dipped his head to her respectfully. The aforementioned dinosaur's jaws dropped for a moment ... then she smiled happily!

"BRUTON! But how? Aladar said you'd-"

"Been crushed under a pile of rocks?" finished Bruton with a wry smile. "I was. But I woke up later, and dug myself out. The world can't get rid of me that easily." Neera then frowned.

"Then why haven't you joined up with everyone else?" Her brother's former second-in-command gave her a deadpan look as he glanced over at the solitary Kron.

"Neera, exactly how happy would the others be to see their former leader's personal thug who mistreated and bullied them as much as he did?" She opened her mouth, and then closed it again. Neera glanced at her brother as well. Then she turned and winked at Bruton.

"Well, we have an idea to liven things up." Bruton looked slightly confused, but intrigued.

"What is it?"

"Wait here, I'll just get the others." Neera then turned around and walked quickly away, to fetch Aladar and the others. Five minutes later, Neera, her mate, and friends came to the spot where Kron and Bruton were.

Eema and Url's eyes widened when they saw Kron and Bruton, and felt a bit nervous. Even though they weren't in share anymore, Kron and Bruton were still intimidating. The group then quickly explained the plan to Bruton, who grinned.

"This will be fun to watch", he sniggered.

"So how do we do this?" whispered Zini. Aladar thought for a second.

"Kron is a strong and capable survivalist, but he's not looking at us at the moment. We'd better use the element of surprise and pin him down. The last thing we want is to make a scene in front of all the others", he spoke quietly.

The other dinosaurs and lemurs all nodded. They gathered around Kron silently. The deposed leader gave no sign of having seen or heard the group, being very deep in thought. Zini smirked and counted under his breath.

"One ... Two ... Three ... Aaaaaannd ... Bob's your uncle!" They then all pounced upon the purple dinosaur, who suddenly jerked and bellowed as he tried to rise to his feet.

"Get off me, you backstabbing parasites!!" Url was sitting on Kron's tail, Eema was pressing down on his shoulders and legs, and Aladar was holding down Kron's neck.

Bruton was pushing his former boss's head down into the dirt. The lemurs had joined in too, hanging onto Kron's feet and weighing them down. All, except Zini though; who was bouncing up and down on Kron's chest.

The purple dinosaur snarled, and growled with rage, almost like a Carnotaur. He saw Neera watching the scuffle and yelled at her.

"NEERA! GET ME OUT OF THIS!" Chuckling, the orange dinosaur shook her head.
