Primeval: The Next Generation - Episode 1 - A New Beginning
By Swmoney11
DISCLAIMER: Primeval was created by Adrian Hodges and Tim Haines. I do not own Primeval, I only own the new team.
A/N: This is my first Primeval fan fiction, but I have had an idea to do a story like this for a long time. There will probably be a crossover with Primeval New World, due to the new main characters involved in the storyline.
Date: 18th June 2030
"My name is Nick Temple, my parents, Abby and Connor Temple, work for a secret government organisation called the ARC. The ARC or Anomaly Research Centre investigates rips in time called Anomalies. These anomalies allow creatures from the past and future to pass into our own time. My parents have tried to keep me away their work, but now that I am 16 and about to leave school I am determined to work for the ARC myself… Well not by myself, I have my own team: The daughter of Captain and Jess Becker, Sarah, my lifelong friend, the son of Matt and Emily Anderson, Thomas, and the son of Evan and Dylan Cross, Max. Our parents might be the field team, but not for much longer, here is how the story begins…"
"Morning" Sarah smiled. Sarah was the same age as Nick, she has her mother's brown hair and blue eyes, she has her father's ability to stay calm under pressure and as such she excels at her exams.
"Oh, hey" Nick smiled. Nick has his father's scruffy black hair and his mother's blue eyes, named after Professor Cutter; Nick has a habit of wearing similar clothes as his name sake, which panics his father. He mainly has Connors brains, and clumsiness, but has also inherited Abby's short temper, which often leads him into trouble.
"So the last day" Sarah sighed, a tear running down her cheek.
"Come here" Nick smiled as he wrapped his arms around Sarah, "we were always going to leave, and we're both going to the ARC aren't we?"
"Yeah, your right" Sarah smiled as Nick let her go, "And Max and Thomas will be joining us in two years, so the team will be back together."
"Yeah" Nick smiled, he'd always liked the way Sarah could be negative one minute and positive the next.
"Hey you two" Thomas smiled. Thomas has his father's green eyes and mothers brown hair. He is well known for his calm attitude to even the most stressful situations.
"Hi Thomas" Sarah smiled. Her chirpy expression identical to her mothers.
Nick smiled to himself, he had always loved Sarah's overactive smile, "Hi Thomas."
"Max not here yet?" Thomas asked.
"Yes, he's standing right next to us" Nick retorted. His mother had often thought that his advanced sarcasm was due to spending a lot of time near Lester.
"No need to be sarcastic" Thomas sighed, creating an awkward silence in the process.
"Here he is" Sarah interrupted, breaking the awkward silence.
"Hi" Max smiled. Max had his mother's light brown hair and his father's blue eyes. Max isn't the most careful person in the world, but his knowledge on animals is limitless.
"Hey" the three of them said in unison, just as the bell sounded signalling the start of the school day.
"Here we go" Sarah sighed as a tear fell down her face, just at that moment Nick placed his arm around her shoulders, "Thanks" She smiled.
"It'll be fine" Nick smiled.
5 hours later
"You alright?" Nick asked, as they exited the assembly hall.
"Yeah" Sarah replied, tears running down the side of her face.
"Are you just crying so I give you a hug?" Nick teased as he put his arm around her shoulders.
"Maybe just a bit" Sarah smiled weakly, as she whipped the tears from her eyes.
"Isn't that your phone?" Nick asked as a phone started to buzz.
"Huh?" Sarah replied as she took her phone out of her bag before answering it, "Mum?"
"Sarah? Are you still at school?" Jess asked quickly.
"Yeah why?" Sarah asked as her and Nick walked out of the main corridor.
"There's an anomaly in your school kitchen" Jess replied, "Get out of there! Your father's on his way down with a team, get the place evacuated!"
"How?" Sarah asked.
"What's going on?" Nick asked.
"Shush" Sarah hushed.
"Sound the fire alarm" Jess replied before the line went dead.
"Well?" Nick asked as Sarah hit the fire alarm, "What are you doing?"
"There's an anomaly in the Kitchen" Sarah replied, "Mum said we need to hit the fire alarm; so that the school can be evacuated."
"We're not evacuating are we?" Nick asked, a slight smile appearing on his face.
"What do you think?" Sarah smiled.
"Oh yes" Nick grinned as he grabbed Max out from the swarm of students panicking to reach the door.
"Come on!" Sarah shouted as she pulled Thomas out of the line.
"What's going on?" Max asked.
"There's an anomaly in the kitchen" Nick replied.
"So what are we waiting for?" Thomas smiled.
"Let's go!" Sarah shouted as they headed towards the kitchen.
Please review, I would appreciate your opinions and ideas on where the story should go next.
