Chapter 2...Jurassic Park! One of my favorite films of all time. And for those who were wondering, this is all in anthro, not human like my other stories. Someone gave me the fact that The Lion King and Jurassic Park (up until the Titanic came out) were actually the two highest grossing films of all time at one stage. Anyway, thanks to all the people that enjoyed The Godfather!

CHAPTER 2. JURASSIC PARK
(Jurassic Park Opening theme)
Isla Nublar, 120 miles west of Costa Rica
Several armed animals stood around the holding pen, weapons in hand. They all had nervous expressions and/or were trembling. Everything had to go perfect otherwise people would die. One lion stood out from the rest. He had a flowing red mane, and wore a khaki uniform and a slouch hat. It was an ex-Pridelander by the name of Mufasa Muldoon. He was the chief game warden at the park and the one man that the dinosaurs, the monsters feared. He flexed his claws around the SPAS-12 shotgun as a forklift appeared through some tree and approached the pen.
The forklift stopped at the huge iron gate and lowered its cargo; a reinforced titanium animal container. The crate rocked back and forth as it was lowered and many men raised their rifles in alarm.
Mufasa just rolled his eyes. The forklift dropped the crate onto some steel rails that led up the pen gate, then it reversed away.
"Loading team, you're up!" Mufasa called out.
The lions grabbed onto the steel handles on each side of the crate and began to push. Suddenly a crazed hissing sound broke out, making everyone jump back in fright.
"Come on...get back in there, its safe for crying out loud." Mufasa said angrily and his people started to compose themselves. It better be safe...
The crew got over their fear and started to push the container towards the gate to the holding pen. Finally, the crate locked into place with the gate and a green light flashed above them, indicating it was safe to raise the gate now. Each and every member of the loading team exhaled in relief and wiped sweat from their foreheads.
"Loading team step away...Gatekeeper you're up." Mufasa ordered.
The loading team scrambled away and a solitary man approached the container, then climbed up it and onto the wall next to the gate. He glanced at the warning sign on the crate that read: CAUTION, LIVE VELOCIRAPTOR. He gulped and turned a key in the gate control panel. A green light flashed on the panel, and he pressed a red button that read: GATE RELEASE.
A loud cranking of gears and machinery was heard and the gate started to retract up the wall, making room for the crate's vicious inhabitant to enter the holding pen. Sure enough, the Raptor charged through, but not into the pen, but at the gate itself. It slammed into the gate, creating a huge dent that prevented it from retracting properly. Malfunction alarms buzzed around the holding pen and the emergency eject feature initiated. Is something were to go wrong with the gate, the container attached to it would be ejected. There was one major flaw in this system.
The crate lurched backwards with the front hatch opened, and the recoil of the launch sent the gatekeeper flying off the wall and flat down in front of the open crate. All the workers and soldiers were stunned; they were in real trouble now. Oh shit. Mufasa thought and ran over to the scene. The gatekeeper lay on the floor, hardly conscious. He pulled himself up, but only then did he realize his mistake. He heard a terrible snarling noise behind him and saw a large black shadow rush over to him. Uh oh. He thought.
He was grabbed by the ankle and dragged back into the crate with incredible force. Just as he thought he was done for a lion's paw reached out and grabbed his. Mufasa stood there and yanked him back in his direction. Mufasa was now in a game of tug-of-war with a Raptor. He gripped the gatekeeper's hand and struggled to keep him alive. He turned his head and saw the look of terror in his eyes.
"HELP ME OUT HERE NOW!" He shouted out, but most were too terrified to move.
Meanwhile, the Raptor was starting to get the upper hand and more of the gatekeeper's body disappeared behind the crate wall. He screamed out in pain as the Raptor's huge teeth sunk down into his leg. Mufasa started to panic and shouted out:
"IT'S TOO LATE! SHOOT HER!"
Soldiers rushed up to the crate and aimed their rifles through the gaps in the metal cage. It was too late though, the Gatekeeper's hand started to slip out of his and he was yanked into the crate.
"SHOOT HER!" Mufasa yelled out again.
He heard the terrified cry of the gatekeeper inside the crate but the dinosaur killing him quickly silenced it. The soldiers finally managed to aim through the side of the crate and fire. The loud and distinctive RATATATATATAT! sound of the M16 broke out, and was followed by the shrill shrieking sound of the beast, and the thud of it hitting the floor.
Mufasa put his head in his hands and sighed, the boss wasn't going to be happy. One of his precious monsters was dead, and there was probably going to be a major lawsuit by the family of the worker who died.
A few weeks later...
A blue and white InGen helicopter buzzed over the Pacific Ocean, carrying five passengers. The trip had mostly been silent, but one passenger finally decided to beak the silence.
"So...you two dig up dinosaurs?" Timon asked. He wore a black jacket, pants and wore glasses.
"We try to." Another passenger answered. He wore a blue shirt, hat and aviator sunglasses. He was Dr. Simba Grant.
Timon chuckled and Rafiki rolled his eyes. He was the one who had invited them all to see his island and park, but he didn't know why he had let Zazu, his lawyer, invite Timon. The guy seemed like such a nutcase.
"I don't suppose Rafiki told you what I said about his little science project?" Timon asked and Rafiki shook his head.
"You've never been able to explain your theories." Rafiki pointed out.
Timon was still smiling despite accusation and turned to Simba and Nala.
"You guys have heard of chaos theory right?" They both shook their heads.
"Non-linear relations?" They shook their heads again.
"Strange attractions?" The response was the same.
"Dr. Nala, I refuse to believe you are unfamiliar with the concept of attraction." Timon said with a smile and Nala blushed a little.
Rafiki glared at Zazu.
"I bring scientists...you bring a rock star." Rafiki complained humorously. He wore a white suit and carried a white cane tipped by a piece of rare amber.
Rafiki then saw his island out the window, and smiled.
"Look...there it is!"
(Jurassic Park Island Theme)
Da dah da dah Duh na NAAAH nah nuh nuh NAAH!
The chopper swooped in, and gave all of them a fantastic view of the beautiful, lush tropical scenery around them. It was the canyon of Isla Nublar. They maneuvered through the paradise around them before finally slowing over a waterfall, and they started to descend...
The chopper touched down gracefully on the landing pad, and slowly the engine started to die down. The passengers then stepped on one at a time. The rich baboon first dressed in white, followed by a cream colored lioness wearing a pink shirt tied up in a knot. Then the meerkat in black, then the red maned lion wearing the hat, bandanna and sunglasses. They clutched their hats as the whirlwind created by the chopper raged, and they jumped into two white and red vehicles. The door swung open, and the bright red and black logo on it read: JURASSIC PARK.
The jeeps began their trek through the jungle, towards the grassy plains while everyone else enjoyed the scenery around them.
A few minutes later
"Slow down...STOP!" Rafiki hissed the driver of the jeep.
Both jeeps slowed to a halt in the middle of the plains, and Simba decided to take a look around. The open, tropical world was beautiful, but there was one more thing that caught his eye. Timon saw it too. What the hell...
Simba stood up in his seat and yanked his glasses of so that he could get a better look. Impossible...
"Simba this shouldn't be here. This species of plant has been extinct since the Cretaceous period..." Nala said as she examined a leaf she had plucked of a tree as they drove.
Simba then gripped her head, and twisted it around to face in the direction he was looking. Nala saw it too, and stood up in her seat, then removed her glasses just like Simba had.
(Jurassic Park Main Theme)
The cry of the Brachiosaur rang out, and Simba and Nala jumped out of the car to get even closer. Their mouths were wide open in amazement, and they watched the magnificent creature walk. Simba was completely shocked and could only point at the animal in amazement.
"It...it's a dinosaur..." He stuttered.
Rafiki chuckled and joined them outside the jeep.
"He did it...the crazy son of a bitch did it." Timon mumbled to himself.
"Look at that neck, how long is that? 25 feet? 27 feet?" Simba guessed as he watched the Brachiosaur.
"Thirty." Rafiki corrected him.
"How fast are they?" Simba kept going.
"Well...we've clocked the T-Rex at thirty miles per hour." Rafiki answered. Nala turned around in further shock.
"T-Rex? Did you say you have a T-Rex?" Nala asked him.
Rafiki nodded. Simba then appeared from nowhere and gripped his shoulders.
"Say again?"
"We have a T-Rex!" Rafiki Hammond said in delight.
Simba's eyes rolled back and he collapsed to his knees. All his life's work, all his dreams...were now before him. Rafiki looked out at his herds of dinosaurs in the distance.
"Dr. Simba, my dear Dr. Nala...Welcome...To Jurassic Park!"
(Jurassic Park Main Theme)
Several hours later...
Simba and timon had been in the car alone together for quite some time now and were conversing and getting to know each other. Both tour cars were heading back to the Visitor's Center, after a long, uneventful tour. They relaxed in the car as they started to approach the Tyrannosaur paddock while the rain poured down on the windscreen.
"Do you like cubs?" Simba asked.
"Me? Hell yeah, I've got three at home." Timon said and offered Simba some scotch from his flask
"You married?" Simba continued
"Occasionally...I'm always on the look out for a future ex-Mrs. Timon." Timon joked and chuckled a little.
"By the way...Nala...She's not like available is she?" Hudson asked with a hopeful look in his eyes.
"Why?" Simba raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah I'm sorry...You two are-" Timon started but Simba cut him off sharply.
"Yes."
All of a sudden they felt their car slow to a stop, and the touch screen and the car's headlights all shut off.
"Hey what did I touch?" Simba asked and threw his paws up in the air as if he did something.
"You didn't touch anything we stopped..." Timon said and looked out of the window, alarmed.
The car in front of them had stopped as well and the power lights on the T-Rex's electric fence had just suddenly flickered off...
Kiara relaxed in the car comfortably, but she wondered why it had stopped. Why aren't we moving? She thought and noticed how the lights in the car had turned off. Zazu was sleeping in the seat in front of her and Kovu...She didn't know where he was. She looked around desperately but saw no sign of him, when suddenly something behind her grabbed her shoulder. Kiara screamed in surprise but then saw it was just Kovu wearing a dinosaur souvenir mask. Kovu laughed his head off and sat back down.
"Boo!" He exclaimed through giggles. Kiara rolled her eyes and gently hit him; he had been rummaging through the box of park merchandise in the back ever since the cars had stopped.
Kovu then put the mask away and pulled out something a bit more useful: A pair of themed night vision goggles. He showed them to Kiara and fiddled with them happily.
"Where did you get those?" Zazu asked, now awake due to Kovu scaring Kiara.
"In the box in the back seat." Kovu said and admired them.
"Are they heavy?" Zazu questioned him.
"Yeah."
"Then they're expensive. Put them back." Zazu said sharply and got back to resting in the front seat.
Kovu ignored him and looked out the window with them, all he could see through the rain was the goat bleating in fear on the other side of the fence, and Simba and Timon talking in the car behind them. He zoomed in on them.
Meanwhile in the other car, Timon was a little alarmed and spoke nervously.
"Why don't you go see if the cubs are okay?" He suggested and Simba raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
"Cubs get scared." Timon said quietly.
"What's there to be scared about? It's just a little hiccup with the power..." Simba started.
"I didn't say I was scared." Timon mumbled.
"I didn't say you were scared."
"I know." Timon said, obviously on edge.
Meanwhile in the other car, Kovu was jumping from window to window using his night vision goggles. He jumped into the back seat and looked outside.
"Don't scare me." Kiara snapped and Kovu rolled his eyes.
He looked out the window and saw the goat again, pacing unusually quickly and moaning in terror. Neat. Kovu thought and then felt something.
THUMP!
That wasn't the sound of thunder... He put the goggles down and his eyes opened wide. THUMP! There it was again. What the heck is that? He thought and climbed back onto the middle row where Kiara was. She was fanning herself with her hat but Kovu stopped her.
"Do you feel that?" He whispered and Kiara stopped moving, trying to see what he was talking about. Sure enough they felt and heard it.
THUMP...THUMP...THUMP!
It was loud and noticeable now to wake up Zazu, who looked around in fright. Kovu noticed two glasses of water on the dashboard, and every time the THUMP sound broke out, the water rippled chillingly...
"Maybe it's the power trying to come back on." Zazu suggested quietly.
Kovu then used his goggles to look out the window again, but this time the goat was nowhere to be seen. The shredded tether rope just blew around in the wind and rain. Kiara and Kovu breathed heavily in terror.
"Where's the goat?" Newt asked desperately.
Suddenly a chunk of bloody meat was flung against the window and everyone jumped back in fright. It was the leg of a goat. Kiara gasped and looked up. The head of the Tyrannosaurus Rex stuck out of the jungle, chewing its food. It swallowed its prey then turned to face the tour cars. Zazu saw how the Rex's hand was resting against the electric fence, not being zapped. The fences aren't working, he can get out when ever he likes.
"Oh Jesus..." Zazu panted and knocked the door to the Land Rover open. He then sprinted away from the enclosure through the rain and into the toilet block nearby. He locked himself in a cubicle and started praying.
"Where does he think he's going?" Simba asked Timon in the other vehicle
"When you got to go, you got to go." Timon said casually.
"He left us...he left us!" Kiara stuttered in fear. A loud TWANG! sound then broke out.
The Tyrannosaur had bitten through the thick fence wires and the fence groaned, eventually the last of the wires snapped as thunder crackled; disguising his booming footsteps. He stepped out of her enclosure and onto the middle of the road; right between the two tour cars.
"EERAAAAAAAAAAGHHH!" It roared and continued to walk forward.
In the other car Timon and Simba had been watching the whole thing and Timon trembled in his seat; The King of the Tyrant lizards was out.
"Boy do I hate being right all the time!" Timon whined in his seat and shook his head in disbelief; and in fear.
"Just keep absolutely still...His vision's based on movement." Simba hissed to him and sat as still as a statue. Timon composed himself and did the same.
The T-Rex thumped its way past them, but then turned to examine the car. He sniffed it cautiously and growled; he knew there was some sort of prey in there. But where? He had lost them in their stillness. Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. Just keep it together man and you'll get though this...Timon thought and tried his best to refrain from trembling.
Back in the cubs' car Kiara saw the T-Rex looking over the car I've got to do something...She thought and reached for a flashlight in the emergency kit. She switched it on and shined it in the mighty creature's direction.
Meanwhile, the T-Rex was about to get bored of looking for Simba and Timon. It hissed and was about to turn back towards its enclosure but something caught his attention: a light pointed at him shining from the other car. It turned away from Simba's car and stomped its way over to Kiara's. Turn the light off...turn the light off. He thought as the Tyrannosaur walked away from them. Timon exhaled in relief; but the encounter wasn't over yet.
"TURN THE LIGHT OFF!" Kovu shrieked at Kiara, who couldn't seem to move.
"Sorry..." She mumbled as the T-Rex looked inside the car. They all froze, not because it was the safest thing to do, but because they were frozen in terror.
Kovu then broke the stillness so he could close the door that Zazu had left open. When he shut it, the T-Rex turned his head in his direction; startled. He lowered his head and Kovu saw his razor sharp teeth, covered in drool. He cocked his head; trying to figure out how to find the lion cub that he just saw move.
The Rex saw Kiara and Kovu now, and knew exactly where to hit them. He nudged the car with his head and it rocked, making Kiara and Kovu scream. So he did see us. Kiara thought as the car rocked about. The T-Rex hit the car again, and it almost flipped over. Kiara tried to shine her flashlight into its face, but that only enraged him even more. He moved in front of the car and hissed angrily. Suddenly her inner mouth popped out and smashed the windscreen, sending shards of glass everywhere. Kovu and Kiara screamed their lungs out as the huge mouth unsuccessfully tried to snap at them through the broken windshield.
Meanwhile, Simba and Timon had been watching the whole thing. Kiara...No! I've got to do something. Simba thought and started rummaging through the emergency pack. Finally, he came across something he could use: two flares. He tossed one to Timon and desperately tried to light his.
In that time, the T-Rex had managed to flip over Kiara and Kovu's car, and started viciously ripping away the undercarriage so he could get to them. He's going to get to the kids soon...then it's game over. Timon thought and lit his flare. Simba then jumped out of the car and into the rain.
"HEY, HEY!" Simba shouted, waving the flare above his head.
"EEEERRAAAAGGHHH!" The T-Rex shrieked in response; with its gaze locked onto the flare.
Simba noticed the monster's interest in the flare, and moved his arm a little to the left. Sure enough, the T-res followed it with his head. He moved it to the right, and once again he stared at it; fascinated. Simba felt the rain beating down on his slouch hat and mane, and had had enough of it. He threw the flare back into the T-Rex's enclosure, and he cased after it. Simba then sighed in relief.
But the relief was to be short lived; the flare landed in a puddle and was extinguished. The dinosaur cocked its head in confusion then turned back towards the cubs' car. Oh great now what? Simba thought in defeat, but suddenly a voice broke out behind him.
"HEY OVER HERE!" Timon cried out, waving his flare above his head like Hicks had just been, but he wasn't staying still so the T-Rex could see both him and the flare.
"TIMON FREEZE!" Simba yelled out, and Timon gulped when the Tyrannosaur shrieked at him.
I gotta distract him... Timon thought as the T-Rex glared at him.
"Get the cubs!" Timon yelled out to Simba and started running away.
"GET RID OF THE FLARE!" Simba yelled back; but Timon ignored him, he had to do this otherwise people would die.
Timon broke into a sprint and trudged through the rain; with the Rex in hot pursuit. He felt his booming footsteps vibrate the earth beneath him as he went. Where to now? The toilets...Timon thought and tried to make a break for them, but the T-Rex was gaining on him too rapidly for him to make it. Almost there buddy... He thought but was suddenly hit by the dinosaur's huge foot; sending him flying. He felt his body smack into the wet wall of the toilet and was instantly knocked out.
The T-Rex didn't see that however, and kept charging towards the toilets. Meanwhile, Zazu was sitting on a toilet, feeling the walls of the cubicle vibrate. He desperately prayed as the walls shook violently. Suddenly the roof was smashed through and the entire structure of the toilet block seemed to collapse. He covered his head with his wings, hoping that nothing would fall on him. But nothing did.
The roof slid off the walls on an angle and landed next to his cubicle, the impact made the light frame of his cubicle collapse as well. Zazu was now completely exposed, sitting on a toilet in the middle of a pile of wreckage. He sighed in relief, but a huge shadow then swept over him and the toilet. That shadow belonged to nothing other than the Tyrannosaurus Rex itself. He looked at him awkwardly and cocked his head.
Zazu trembled uncontrollably and looked up at it in disbelief, he then proceeded to wipe the rainwater off of his beak; he didn't know that that was the worst mistake of his life.
The T-Rex then acknowledged him as prey and roared. He leant down and scooped Zazu up in his jaws, before shaking him around violently and creating a cloud of feathers and ripped clothes.
Meanwhile, Simba had been desperately trying to free the cubs from the wreckage of the car, as the car was starting to sink in the mud puddles. He yanked Kiara out through a window then started searching for Kovu. Kiara knelt up behind Simba and noticed the puddles on the road starting to ripple again; The Rex was coming back.
Kiara screamed in terror but Simba immediately clapped a paw over her mouth and knelt next to her. The T-Rex stormed over to them and crouched down to look for them.
"Don't move...He can't see us if we don't move..." Simba hissed to Kiara, making as little movement with his lips as possible. He felt her hot breath on his paw as she panted in fear.
The T-Rex crouched down and looked them over, trying to find them in their stillness. Simba could now feel it's breath on him, and did it stink. He was hardly three feet away from them now, just staring. It then opted to go for the 'roar and they'll give themselves away' tactic.
"EEEEERRRAAAGGGGHHHHH!" It roared and blew Simba's slouch hat clean off his head with her breath.
Simba had none of it, and kept still. The T-Rex groaned in frustration and knocked the wreckage of the car again. How the hell did that work? Simba though and let out a long sigh.
Next morning...Maintenance shed compound
Mufasa tracked the shadow moving in the foliage slowly and silently. He had been dying for the opportunity to kill one of those beasts, and finally it had arisen. He had to protect Nala as she turned the power back on, and that meant killing Velociraptors. He checked every step, so that he wouldn't step on something that would make a noise.
Suddenly, he heard bushed rustle in front of him. He smiled and crouched down behind a log, he could see the Raptor now, and he was about to fool it. Time to see who the number one predator of all time is, Lion or Raptor?
He placed his slouch hat down on the log, providing a false target for the Raptor. He then slipped a hand down his SPAS-12 shotgun, and unfolded the stock. He then raised the gun, and slowly looked down the sights. His hand slipped down to the trigger...
It was only then he realized his mistake. Velociraptors were pack hunters. Just as he was about to shoot, some bushes rustled right next to him and he raised an eyebrow. Suddenly, a leathery face then popped out.
The Raptor was less than a foot away from him, and its lips retracted to reveal rows of needle like teeth. It hissed at Mufasa viciously. Mufasa had been caught completely off-guard, and he knew it.
"Clever girl..." He muttered before swinging the shotgun around. He was too late.
The shot was knocked off target by the Raptor, and it tackled him to the ground. Mufasa feebly tried to fight back, but it was no use. He felt the burning sensation in his stomach as the sickle-claw disemboweled him, and the Raptor started ripping him apart.
The other Raptor, that had provided the 'bait' for the trap, just watched on contently.
The next morning, Visitor's center...
Bones clattered to the floor, as did four lions; two cubs and two adults. Kovu looked up and screamed as a ribcage fell his way, but suddenly out of nowhere, arms grabbed him out of the way. The huge dinosaur skeleton hit the ground and shattered into several pieces, paining everyone's ears. A shrill growl then broke out, and the chilling figure of a Velociraptor leapt from the staircase onto the ground. Simba stepped forward and stood his ground.
"ROOOOAAAAARR!" Simba roared his lungs out, trying to frighten the animal away. But it did no good.
The Velociraptor was slightly larger, faster, more agile and cunning. And it knew it. It showed no fear, and let out a roar that made Simba's sound like a meow.
"RAAAAAAAGGHH!" It shrieked and reared up, getting ready to pounce.
Simba put the cub Kovu behind him and started to back away from the animal.
Meanwhile, Nala had pushed herself to her knees and looked up. She saw a shadow moving behind the curtains. Another had gotten free. The Velociraptor poked its head through the curtains and snarled at her. Kiara saw it too and screamed. Nala quickly pulled her to her feet and they started reversing back away from the monster...But they backed right into Simba and Kovu.
All four of them were trapped between the two monsters, with nowhere to run, and nothing left to try to survive it. They had been outsmarted. The Predators from Sixty-Five million B.C were superior to the ones of the present. This is it... Simba thought and closed his eyes, waiting for that terrible oversized claw to rip through his stomach. Nothing touched him.
The lead Raptor flew through the air towards him, but was suddenly caught; caught in the jaws of none other than the Tyrannosaurus Rex himself.
(Jurassic Park Island Theme)
The T-Rex closed its jaws down on the body of the much smaller dinosaur, and the sickening crunching of bones was heard. The first Raptor was dead. The second saw the new threat, and screeched as it charged the huge animal. It leapt onto the T-Rex's back, biting and clawing.
Everyone was just watching in amazement before Simba hurried them away and to safety. They charged out the door of the Visitor's Center, where a Jeep was waiting for them outside. Simba made sure the kids got in safely first, before jumping in himself. Rafiki was driving, and a wounded Timon was laid out across the back seat.
"Mr. Rafiki, after careful consideration I've decided...not to endorse your park." Simba told him and Rafiki nodded sadly.
"So have I."
Back inside the Visitor's Center...
The T-Rex finally managed to grab the crazed Raptor on its back and get it into its mouth, before viciously throwing the hostile creature into a sharp stack of bones; killing it. It reared up, before delivering one final roar.
" EEEEERRAAAAAAGGHHH!"
A banner that was on the railing tumbled down to the earth, it read: When Dinosaurs Ruled The Pridelands. Its fall signified the end of an era, the end of a dream, and the end of a nightmare.
Good? Hope you enjoyed. There are still several films yet to come...Star Wars, Die Hard and The Fellowship of the Ring to name a few. And then there's a few of your requests I want to do.
Coming up next on Movie Madness: Aliens! For all those who didn't see enough Nala this chapter.
This has been JJZ-109, and as always...Have a nice day.
