Jurassic World: Reign (Completed)

Chapter 6: Scars

Genesis had a lot to think about after his little encounter with Gideon earlier. He wonders why his rival doesn't hold as much resentment against him as he used to. By this point, he should be itching to kill him. The only thing stopping him from doing that is the fear of getting terminated himself. Although, on occasion Genesis is able to get away with hurting another dinosaur if he does it in a closed part of the valley where nobody can see him doing it.

He saw how Gideon acted, and thought he was weak. A Giganotosaurus in his eyes should be more assertive and forceful when it came to speech. He talks as if he's seen this play out millions of times before and just let's it flow because he knows the outcome. It's like he's become lazy in a way.

But what should he care about that oaf? If he doesn't bother him then why should he waste time on Gideon? He's going to get nothing out of it if he does try to have a conversation with him because as far as he knows, Gideon seems like he wants to avoid any conflict that may escalate the situation.

Which is something only a coward does.

It's why he doesn't seem him as part of his kind. It's like his brain is wired differently to his. He's not as fierce nor is he as effective. It almost feels like he was a mistake that was left alive just because Biosyn spent so much money on him. They wouldn't want an expensive asset to go to waste. Not when it has some potential left.

As Genesis went through the forest, he began to listen to the sounds nearby just in case if that flying idiot came back to bug him again. If he finds the right spot, he'll make sure to damage her at least once to get it through her head that he is not to be messed with.

The only reason he prefers being in a metal box is that for the most part, back at the last facility he was at he was all alone in his paddock. Nobody was there to bug him, almost nobody. Unless you count that long clawed know-it-all who kept on badmouthing him. He's just lucky Genesis and him were separated by a wall. If not, he could've torn that jerk a new one.

He neared a lake but stopped. What a twist it was to find that moron drinking while Genesis was thinking about him. The Giant Lizard of the South kept his distance. Like him, this creature is also not one to be taken lightly. But really, it's brittle once you get past it's claws.

That thin neck of his is the only thing holding him up. Genesis has wanted to snap it for as long as he could remember but wasn't able to. If things were different, those claws wouldn't be as big as they are and he'd easily get rid of another annoying voice. Too bad for him though, those things act like a shield for this thing.

On the left side of Genesis' face were three scratch marks. They may have healed now, but he'd be lying if those scars didn't anger him. Everytime he'd see his reflection he'd always see those damned scars. A symbol of defeat and weakness which is not befitting of a Giganotosaurus.

What's even more insulting was that these marks weren't caused by a carnivore. You'd think they were due to how large they were. But they weren't. It was a damn leaf eater who caused this. And right now, Genesis was staring at the culprit.

He just wished that he could've made a different choice that day. One that would've ensured his victory and would've confirmed him as Biosyn's strongest dinosaur. But he has yet to reach that thanks to this annoyance.

But those scars aren't the only ones he's got. He also had one on his upper lip and on the sides of his neck. Those however weren't caused by a rival dinosaur though. Instead, they're rooted in something far more sinister.

"Do you really think this of all things is an efficient way to measure strength? Pardon me if I sound rude, sir. But this might not end up in your favor if they can't survive this." Henry  started. The man wasn't really big on caring for a dinosaur's health. He was more concerned about them potentially losing an expensive asset.
