Snippet #2814605

As predicted, it was a very, very rapid descent. Dani could barely keep her bike going in a straight line. but thankfully she only had one target now. The rest of the sizeable raptors did appear to be spooked by her unorthodox attack. The last one, definitely the Alpha, stood its ground. The dude with the spear rushed up and poked at the raptor’s neck, but Dani didn’t have time to see what effect it had. Suddenly she was almost upon the two. Hunching over the handlebars and shifting her center of gravity towards the back wheel, Dani wrenched the rear brake. Throwing that shifted gravity to the side now, the back wheel started skidding right into one of the raptor’s back legs, possibly breaking the thing’s knee-joint if it hit properly.

Not wanting to sit around waiting to have her head chomped off, Dani pushed down hard on the pedals after the momentum followed through on the strike. If she got free before the raptor could react to the attack on two fronts, Dani would throw down her Stenomask with one hand and then gesture at the spear-wielding fellow: “Throw me your spear! I have an idea!”
