Railway Duel

It was the 29th of December, 2019. Tetsuko had to beg her boss so that she could visit her mother, who had fallen ill. Life as a single mother was hard for her.

Tetsuko's husband ,Toshiro, had died from cancer three years after the birth of their daughter, Rashomon. Now 8 years old, Rashomon was all Tetsuko had to remember her late husband.

Having to support her daughter, Tetsuko found a job at Tokyo as a waitress. She lived with her daughter on an abandoned bus.

A few weeks ago, Tetsuko had found out that her mother, Kanna had fallen ill. Tetsuko had wanted to visit her mother, but her boss wouldn't allow it. The restaurant had been getting many visitors recently, and their were already under staffed.

Now, holding a plastic bag with some clothes and tooth brushes, and a doll made out of straw in one hand, and her daughter's hand in the other, she got inside a train. Tetsuko was taking a train from Atami to Odawara, where her mother was.

"Is Sobo (Grandmother) going to be alright, Hahaoya (Mother?)" little Rashomon asked. She sounded worried. Tetsuko had been crying a lot recently.

Tetsuko forced her self to smile. "She's fine, my love. Now, lets board this train!" she walked inside with her daughter. But inside, she was worried for her mother.

The train moved along the railway. Rashomon played with her doll, who she called Renai. Tetsuko smiled at her, with tears in her eyes. She was tired and worried and stressed out.

Suddenly, there was a loud thud, and the last thing Tetsuko felt was the train topple over, as her eyes shut.

When Tetsuko woke up, she didn't know how long she had been unconscious. Her daughter was still unconscious, and most of the train had been ripped apart.

There was a nasty gash on Rashomon's forehead, and Tetsuko her self had a few minor injuries all over her. She looked up. She noticed how many passengers were missing. *Probably left to get help,* she thought. There was blood every where, and the strong smell of decay filled Tetsuko's nostrils. She coughed.

Suddenly, there was a loud hiss, before a thundering bellow was heard. Tetsuko looked around, and saw what had knocked the train over before.

It was an absolutely gigantic *Allosaurus.*

The Allosaurus was surrounded by the remains of many people. It had seemingly been pulling people from out of the train, and biting them in half, eating what ever was left in it's jaws, and gone to the train to grab another victim.

Tetsuko screamed.

The Allosaurus roared, and it woke Rashomon up. She also screamed.

The Allosaurs let out a low hiss again, and made it's way towards the train, showcasing it's blood red jaws. It lunged, grabbing a sleeping woman, and biting her. The woman let out a sickly scream.

Tetsuko took swiftly moved towards Rashomon, and picked her up. Rashomon grabbed the plastic bag, and the two climbed out of the train wreckage.

There was the noise of snorting and grunting, and Tetsuko noticed a Japanese Boar, feasting on a man's arm. The Japanese Boar charged towards Tetsuko and Rashomon, before the Allosaurus grabbed the hog by it's jaws, and tore it's skin, roaring.

Rashomon screamed at the sight, and Tetsuko watched in horror as a Triceratops rushed out of the bushes.

The Allosaurus hissed at the Triceratops.

The Triceratops bellowed back, and the Allosaurus dropped the corpse of the pig on to the ground, and hissed. The two dinosaurs circled each other, while Tetsuko ran off, carrying her daughter and holding tight on to the bag.

It was late into the night, but she had no other choice. She would have to get to Odawara by foot.

But life wasn't going to be that simple.

There was the pungent odor coming from a bulky Pycnonemosaurus, that had been stalking the mother and daughter after they had left the wreckage. It grunted, as it made it's way towards Tetsuko and Rashomon.

Rashomon screamed, and Tetsuko ran off towards the railway. She was heavily sweating, as the beast of a Pycnonemosaurus followed them.

Tetsuko then tripped over, along with her daughter and bag.

She closed her eyes. This was it.

*No*

This couldn't be it for her daughter.

She yelled at the Pycnonemosaurus, which grunted as it made it's way towards her, growling.

Maybe Tetsuko wouldn't live, but at least her daughter could.

The Pycnonemosaurus got ready to kill.

Before a Carnotaurus burst out and grabbed the Pycnonemosaurus, choking it, and slamming it on the ground. The Pycnonemosaurus shook it self off, and bit the Carnotaurus in the snout, and began to pull.

Tetsuko grabbed her daughter and the bag, and ran off. She could already see Odawara.

Tetsuko ran into a herd of Sike Deer. They'd be safe with them.

Tetsuko and Rashomon ran away with them into Odawara.
