Description
Jack and Ashi are still trapped in the "wrong past" (Previous "wrong past" trefrex.deviantart.com/art/Bac… ) and they must get back to their own past and undo the future that is ruled by the master of darkness: Aku. Now they end up in North America, 66 million years ago, at the very end of the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era (Maastrichtian age), where they encountered a diverse array of giant dinosaurs both predator and prey, from the duck-billed Edmontosaurus to the armored Ankylosaurus, from the enormous, long-necked Alamosaurus to everyone's favorite three-horn, Triceratops. But they also come face-to-face with the ultimate alpha predator: none other than the mighty king of the dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex. But dinosaurs were not the only amazing lifeforms Jack and Ashi encountered in this world: flying through the sky is one of the largest winged creature that ever lived, Quetzalcoatlus, a pterosaur with a wingspan of over 36 feet (11 meters) and standing as tall as a giraffe when on the ground. Scampering through the feet and shadows of the dinosaurs were a diverse array of small mammals, including the ancestors of many familiar modern mammals such as humans (Jack and Ashi's species). The plant life in this "wrong past" was beginning to look modern as flowering plants (or angiosperms) became dominant and were very common, replacing the once diverse, dominant ferns, cycads, and conifers and giving rise to many species such as magnolias, palms, and sycamores. Grass had also recently evolved, but were not yet dominant. But little does Jack and Ashi know that they are in the last days of the (non-avian) dinosaurs after ruling and thriving the Earth for 160 million years, as a disastrous event will change the course of Earth's history and kill off and end the reign of the (non-avian) dinosaurs, along with 75% of all species both on land and in the sea and mark the beginning of the Age of Mammals (including Jack and Ashi's ancestors). Not only that, but this was the day that the dark forces of ultimate evil was born. The one that will one day be the shape-shifting master of darkness that will rule the world spreading terror and evil: Aku!With the exception of crocodilians and turtles, no back-boned land animal weighing over 55 lb. will ever make it through this event.
As Jack and Ashi wonders into landscape full of dinosaurs searching for a time portal that would lead them to their own time and stop Aku, they suddenly noticed that the dinosaurs and other animals both big and small and predator and prey, stopped doing their usual routine and starts panicking and distressed as they look up in the sky to the south. Birds and pterosaurs flew away crying in distress. It wasn't a predator or even the weather, but something unusual: zooming up to over 12.4 miles per second is an object the size of Mount Everest from outer space heading thousands of miles south towards a shallow sea that will one day be the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Jack and Ashi stare in awe, but Jack looks harder at the fireball as he notices something: at the head of the fireball is a dark mass of evil entity. To Jack, this is something familiar as he remembered what his father, the emperor, had told him and something that had changed his life since he was 8 and had since take over his homeland and later the whole world spreading darkness, evil, and terror, and something he must destroy. He continues staring at the fireball as it continues heading towards the south with an angered look and clenches his fist.
"What is it, Jack?" Ashi asked.
"He's here!" he replied.
"Who?"
"AKU!"

This is based on the sequence of the season 3 episode The Birth of Evil (Part 1) when a piece of black entity of evil that will one day be Aku breaks off from the rest of the entity that is being fought by the three gods (Odin the All-father, Ra the Sun God, and Vishnu the Supreme God and Soul) heads to Earth 66 million BC and caused the K-Pg (Cretaceous-Paleogene) Mass Extinction event (www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqYBS6… ). But I updated it. In the original, most of the dinosaurs (except Triceratops) and pterosaurs from the Jurassic and earlier parts of the Cretaceous period were incorrectly living during the time of the event, which I replace them with those living in the correct age. Also in the original, Aku being the asteroid/comet that is often considered the cause of the extinction event crashed into Japan instead of Yucatan Mexico, but here actually crashes into the Gulf of Mexico and formed the Chicxulub crater. But how did he end up from Mexico to Japan? Due to the speed and force of the impact, the fragment moves to Japan through the Earth's interior and as it hits the surface, it evolves and forms an ever-growing ominous forest of black tree-like spikes, surrounding a tar-like pit at its center that devoured any living thing that dared enter.
Now before you criticize and so forth, I'm not saying I dislike and hate the episode because of it. I like the episode, I just thought it would be unique to update the dinosaurs and the extinction/Aku's birth sequence.
Also if you're asking where in North America its set in, it doesn't matter. Its combination of the Hell Creek Formation in Montana and Dakotas and fossil sites that date back at that time since I included the Hell Creek fauna and two dinosaurs and one pterosaur that's not found in Hell Creek.
Based on , Gregory S. Paul, etc. and colouration based on Saurian videogame, Dinosaurs in the Wild (for Thescelosaurus), and some of the animals and other creatures that appeared in Samurai Jack
Update: On 5/18/2019, I replace Pachycephalosaurus with Stygimoloch as I was told that Pachycephalosaurus was slightly geologically older than the K-Pg (Cretaceous-Paleogene) Boundary and didn’t live with Dakotaraptor. Color based on Stiggy the Stygimoloch from Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Oh, give me a home where the dinosaurs roam, and the pterodactyls fly. Where you’ll hear no more than a T. rex’s roar, and a sauropod’s bellowing cry!

You was disinformed pachycephalosaurus became extinct during C-Pg extinction.

If you really are looking for a specific place in North America to have this set, how about the North Horn Formation of Utah? It has species both from Hell Creek (Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Edmontosaurus) and from farther south (Alamosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus).

Correct me if I’m wrong but did Parasaurolophus not live at the same time as Trex and Triceratops or did it?

TrefRex In reply to DINOTASIA123 [2017-11-28 23:21:18 +0000 UTC]
Not really, because Parasaurolophus is found in a much older age dating back to the Campanian stage whereas T. rex and Triceratops lived during late Maastrichtian age

I see, but the Augustynolophus did live in the same region at the same time. Parasaurolophus’s close relative Charonosaurus also lived at the same time period, but in Asia, along with Olorotitan.

Parasaurolophus is almost 10 million years older than the Hell Creek Crew (T. rex, Triceratops, etc.). Augustynolophus is from the same time as them, but since it's only known from one fossil we don't know if it coexisted with them or not.

What's with people now saying 66 MYA instead of the traditional 65 MYA to mark the end if the Cretaceous?
