Yosh and Pearl began telling the others about the Camp that used to be located on the Island. They told them how Twenty-two people went to the camp (Including themselves), an only six of them came back alive.
"Pearl, how come you never mentioned this before?" Garnet asked. Pearl looked down, as if she were about to cry.
"I…I don't like talking about it." She answered softly, "Anyways, it's getting late… It was good seeing you, Yosh."
"Uh, yeah," the penguin replied as he stood up, "You too." Pearl walked over and hugged him.
"Meet me on top of the mountain, after-dark." She whispered to him.
"I'll be there." Yosh whispered back….
Later that night, Pearl walked out of the temple. She snuck past Steven (carefully trying not to wake him), and walked outside towards the top of the mountain that the temple was built into. At the very top, Yosh was patiently waiting, gazing at the night sky as he did.
"Hey!" Pearl said. This startled Yosh, as he hadn't heard her coming.
"Um, hey." He replied, "You wanted to talk about something?" Pearl then sat down next to him. "Listen." Yosh began, "If it's about earlier, I'm sorry… Really, I-I let my guard down and…"
"Yosh," Pearl interrupted, "I'm not mad. If anything, I'm grateful that you went after the raptors. If you didn't show up, Steven would have been killed…Just like…the others were…"
"Pearl, we can't change the past." Yosh said, putting his flipper around her shoulders, "so, what did you want to talk about?"
"The raptors," Pearl answered, "You mentioned they have gotten more intelligent?"
"Yes, they have."
"How intelligent?"
"They've figured out how to open doors, they can now swim, and I think they may be trying to figure out how to fly…"
"Really? They're more advanced than we thought."
"Pearl, this sounds crazy, but I think they may be smarter than humans" A chill was sent up Pearls spine at the thought of this. She decided to change the subject.
"So, how goes life?"
MEANWHILE:
The raptors had made it back to the island. The superior of the group scolded the others for their failure. Then, it began thinking about what to do next. Eventually, it had an idea. No, a plan… The raptors started running through a deep, dense forest. They kept running until the came across a door near the southern area of the island….
