After 5 days of walking Leon, Sans and Edmund make it around the cannon.  "Well then lads, only-" Sans looks at a map and starts counting quietly.  "A lot more, only a lot more to go" After Leon and Sans have there argument they hear a dark chirp from the bushes.  "What was that?!" Edmund says backing up from the bush.  "I think it's a seagull" Sans says drinking from his flask.  Leon slaps Sans upside the head.  "Idiota, this far in the mainland?" Leon says with anger.  When a Dilophosaurus  jumps from the bush and tilts his head.  "Ain't that a spitty dinosaur?" Sans says slowly walking back from the beast.  Leon sighs and gets in attack stance.  "Dilophosaurus, you deficiente" Leon says readying for a hit from the beast.  Sans grabs a stick and tries to shoo in off by hitting the ground.  "Go on, get ye over grown chicken!"  Sans says hitting the ground.  The Dilophosaurus rises up and opens its frills.  "Well, that was, well, crap" Sans says backing up.  The Dilophosaurus spits in Sans face and sprints off into the jungle.  "UGH, just like my ex-wife.  Spit in me face and leave"  Sans says wiping the black goo off his face.  "Did any get in your eyes, mouth, ears ANYWHERE" Leon says searching Sans.  "No, no.  I'm fine" Sans says finishing off the goo.  "My ex-wife is better at spitting than them" Sans says laughing.

As night falls on the three, they set up camp.  "Are you sure you wan't to set up camp here?" Leon asks Sans.  "Why not? Keeps me from walking" Sans says collapsing on his sleeping bag.  Edmund starts elegantly laying out his sleeping bag to sleep for the night.  "I guess it's secure" Edmund says looking around.  "Leon, don't be up to late" Edmund says covering himself up in his sleeping bag.  "Alright, I'll go to bed after I make sure it's safe" Leon says putting a log on the fire.  The night was calm, the night was peaceful, It was almost as if Titan and his peons forgot about them.  The next morning Sans was the first one up.  "OI!! RISE AND SHINE!! OR I'LL START WITH THE PUNS!" Sans says screaming at the camp.  "You wouldn't" Leon says turning his back to Sans.  "WHY CAN'T YOU HEAR A PTERODACTYL USE THE BATHROOM?!" Sans says screaming at Leon.  "Sans, no" Leon says turning around.  "BECAUSE THE P IS SILENT!" Sans says stomping his foot laughing.  "Figlio di cagna" Leon says rising out of his sleeping bag. Edmund is awake and laughing as he sits up in his sleeping bag.  "You think Titan will leave us alone today?" Sans says filling his flask.  "Well, yes.  But, if we see Flame, we better run" Leon says packing his bag and putting his glasses on.  After they pack up camp and get ready to leave they here a screech of pain from the bushes next to Sans.  "What was that?!" Edmund says looking at Sans worriedly.  "Let's see here" Sans says spreading the bushes apart.  Inside the bush was a small wounded baby raptor.  As the raptor sees Sans it tries to stand on its feet but, collapses in pain and screeches out.  "Hey, hey.  It's OK buddy" Sans says looking at the wounded creature.  Leon and Edmund gather behind Sans.  "He's starving and has a broken leg" Leon says.  Sans pulls out a piece of jerky and slides it to the creature.  "Here ya go buddy, eat up" Sans says smiling.  The raptor hops towards the dehydrated meat and eats it quickly.  

After the raptor eats its full on beef jerky, Sans takes a bowl from his pack and fills it with water. "Drink up" Sans says sliding the bowl over to the creature.  The raptor hops over and drinks, after he satisfies his thirst he hops towards Sans and rubs his head under Sans's hand.  Sans quickly turns around to Leon.  "We're keeping it right?" Sans says looking up at Leon.  "Fine, but I have to bandage him up" Leon says scooping to raptor up.  After 20 minutes of wrapping and stitching the raptors wound is cleaned and bandaged.  "It'll be a week or two before he can walk" Leon says handing the creature over to Sans.  "It's OK! I'll put him right here!" Sans says putting the wounded creature in his shirt pocket.  The raptor gives a small roar of enjoyment, to the group it is a small crackly squeak.  Sans pets the raptors head and they go back to their journey.  "Uhh, aren't you guys a little worried?" Edmund says walking with Sans.  "Bout what?" Sans says to his questioning companion.  "Ya know, mommy and daddy raptor"  Edmund says pointing the the small raptor sleeping in his shirt pocket.  "Actually, if the mother and father cared about the young one they would have killed us already" Leon says interrupting.  "It was calling to it's parents when we found it, it's parents are probably dead or don't want him" Leon says continuing.  "So no, nothing to worry about?" Edmund asks Leon. "Yes, that is exactly right" Leon replies.  "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself!" Leon says with a Franklin Roosevelt impression.  "And the 3 mega dinosaurs, a jungle and other man eating dinosaurs" Sans says adding on to Leon's words.  "Including the one in your shirt pocket" Edmund says pointing at the dinosaur.  Suddenly Fury busts out of the trees next to them.  "JESUS!" Sans says.  "RUN!!" Leon says pushing them away from the beast.  

Edmund, Sans and Leon start running towards the cannon.  "He has us running towards the cannon, he's gonna trap us!" Leon says looking ahead.  As they run from the beast, they reach the cannon once more.  "NO!" Leon says.  Fury catches up to them and slowly walks up to Leon, the closes to the cannon.  "You can't kill me!  Titan will punish you for killing the sport" Leon says confidently.  Fury raises his foot and stomps the ground.  The earth that Leon is standing on slides into the cannon.  After Leon falls into the cannon he holds tight to the roots on the side.  Fury stomps off with attitude and Sans jumps down to the side of the cannon to see if Leon is alright.  As he jumps the raptor falls out of his shirt pocket down the cannon. "NO!!" Screams Sans as he peaks over the edge.  Down the cannon is Leon, one hand holding the root the other limp and hanging off.  "LEON!!  GIVE ME YOUR HAND!!" Sans screams holding his hand out.  Leon swings his arm up and hand and pulls himself close to the edge.  While approaching the cliff, Leon opens his hands so the frightened creature can limp out.  "You saved him!" Edmund and Sans say yelling.  "Indeed, thank me later.  I figured I'd-" Leon suddenly falls into the cannon once more.  "The ground is giving in!" Leon says yelling to his colleges.  "Grab my hand!" Sans says holding his arm out.  Leon reaches up and grabs his hand.  "I can't pull you up!" Sans says.  "HELP ME, EDMUND" Sans says yelling.  Edmund grabs Sans and tries to help.  "I can't!" Edmund screams.  The raptor bites Sans's shirt sleeve and tugs desperately.  "Friends?" Leon says looking up at the three.  "WHAT LEON!?" Sans says holding on to Leon's hand.  "Arrivederci" Leon says letting go of Sans.  "NOOO!" Sans says screaming down the cannon.  Leon says one last thing, but Sans cannot could not hear.  The cannon echoes: Arrivederci.
