Sorry I'm updating late but here's the next chapter to Sonic's Jurassic World. Sally takes Sonic and his friends to the research lab to get a full view of how the dinosaurs are created. Sonic also meets Shadow and his raptors and the trio meet with Sally at lunch to discuss about their genetics. What will the trio say about their research and creation? Let Chapter 4 begin!
Chapter 4: Rebirth of the Dinosaurs
Sally took Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails to the main entrance of the amusement park; Jurassic World. Jurassic World was filled with both science and fun such as a Starbucks, an IMAX Theater, gift shops, restaurants, petting zoos, paddocks with their respective dinosaurs, and a genetics research lab. The jeeps stopped right in front of the entrance and Sally, Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails made their way inside the main entrance. Inside they saw the research labs, holographic dinosaurs, the control room, and the genetics lab.
"This is incredible!" Tails said in awe looking around.
"How's this even freaking possible?" Knuckles asked. Sonic wanted to know as well and Sally spoke up to the trio.
"We have made living biological reserves not only for kids to witness, but for the whole world to witness with their own eyes." Sally said leading the trio to the main genetics lab.
"What are you thinking Sonic?" Knuckles asked an amused Sonic.
"We're out of a damn job!" Sonic said jokingly.
"More like extinct!" Tails joked as well. Sally gave a little chuckle and finally reached the main genetics lab. Inside the lab, geneticists working on the research of recreating dinosaurs. The lab contained stations for the dinosaur embryos, modern day animals in cages, etc. One station caught Sonic's attention, the egg station where the dinosaurs are born and hatched.
"Wow!" Sonic said making his way towards the station.
"This is freaking amazing!" Tails said once again in awe. Knuckles looked over the shoulders of one of the geneticists and saw him implanting frog DNA into a yellow stone. Inside the stone was a fossilized mosquito, interesting Knuckles.
"What the hell is he doing?" Knuckles asked Sally.
"We recover the dinosaur DNA from these fossilized tree saps, which are called Amber. All of our amber stones contain fossilized mosquitos, each containing 19 different types of dinosaur DNA. When our scientists extract the DNA, they found that the dinosaur genetic code were missing the proper gene sequence caps. We filled the gaps with the DNA of frogs, other amphibians, and modern day reptiles." Sally said while the trio Jurassic World's amazing work.
"Amazing!" Sonic announced. Sally approached one of the geneticists and good friend, Blaze the Cat. Blaze walked up to the trio and introduce herself.
"Sonic, Knuckles, Tails this is our main geneticist Blaze." Sally said introducing Blaze.
"Hello boys." Blaze happily replied. The trio happily waved back at the purple cat. Sonic looked back at the egg station and saw one of the eggs beginning to hatch. He made his way towards the station followed by Tails and the others.
"Perfect timing! I'm glad they hatched before I would leave later." Blaze happily said. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails saw the other eggs beginning to hatch as well.
"Blaze why didn't you tell me? I wouldn't miss this for the entire world." Sally excitingly said while putting on plastic gloves. Sonic, Knuckles and Tails carefully watched the first egg cracking. Sally gave words of encouragement to the baby as Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Blaze slowly had smiles on their faces as the baby dinosaur finally freed its head. The baby gave out a little roar as it was freed from its egg. The other eggs hatched as well with baby dinosaurs giving out little roars as well.
"Our first born creatures finally arrive on Earth." Sally said cleaning up the first baby dinosaur. Sonic and Tails happily cleaned up the other babies as well. Knuckles watched on; having multiple questions on his mind.
"Sure would love to see these young babies breed when they are older." Knuckles stated.
"Actually they can't breed in the wild. Population growth is one of our biggest concerns for InGen. There's no unauthorized breeding in Jurassic World." Blaze said as Sally carefully held the baby dinosaur.
"How do you know that?" Knuckles asked intrigued.
"Well because all the dinosaurs in Jurassic World are female. We genetically engineered all of them." Blaze responded. Sally joyfully smiled as the baby dinosaur continued to roar while Sonic and Tails enjoying the moment as well. Knuckles walked around and looked over Sonic and Tails shoulders; having one more question on his mind.
"How do you know they are all female? Did you check to see if they have any balls?" Knuckles asked half-jokingly and seriously. Blaze chuckled before answering his question, catching Sonic, Tails, and Sally's attention.
"We control their chromosomes. It's not that hard but we do require an extra gene in order to make male dinosaurs. We simply deny them that." Blaze replied. Sonic, Tails, and Sally were surprised by the fact. Knuckles, on the other hand, had a response to Blaze's statement.
"It's all great and amazing, but there's one thing you are forgetting. Evolution has taught us that life cannot be caged or tamed, life always breaks free and always evolves. Life makes incredible and beautiful things for us and science cannot change it. In the end, life is life." Knuckles responded. Sally, Sonic, and Tails believed Knuckles statement; even Blaze was starting to doubt her own work.
"So what are you saying?" Blaze asked Knuckles.
"In the end, life finds a way!" Knuckles said relieved. Meanwhile, Sonic held one of the baby dinosaurs in his hands. He watched the baby dinosaur move its arms and claws around. The blue hedgehog looked up at Blaze, wanting to know the answer to his question.
"What species is this?" Sonic asked.
"It's a velociraptor." Blaze answered. This stunned Tails and Sonic; InGen brought back one of the greatest predators that ever walked the Earth.
"You bred freaking raptors!" Sonic said.
"Yes we did." Blaze replied. Sonic looked back down at the baby velociraptor, amazed at one of his favorite dinosaurs in his hands. Sally knew the perfect place for Sonic and the right people to meet. Sally took Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Phil the lawyer to Shadow's paddock. Once they were at the paddock, Sonic looked above to see the workers lowering another ox into the paddock.
"What the hell are they doing?" Sonic asked.
"Feeding them." Sally replied. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails walked up the stairs of the paddock to see the workers finally lowering the ox. The ox simply looked around the paddock until it was ambushed by Shadow's raptors. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails watched in awe as the raptors stealthily killed the ox and began to feast. Sally smiled to herself as Shadow and Silver came back after freshening up.
"Yeah, my raptors know how to hunt!" Shadow said climbing up the stairs. Silver chuckled as he followed the black and red hedgehog.
"Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails this is Shadow and Silver." Sally said introducing the trio to Shadow and Silver. The three young heroes' shook hands with Shadow and Silver. After introducing each other, Sonic walked up to Shadow and Silver; wanting to know more about the velociraptors.
"I'll just go ahead and ask, what age do your raptors become lethal?" Sonic asked the pair.
"Shadow's raptors became lethal within eight months, very lethal." Silver said.
"How fast are your raptors?" Sonic asked.
"Cheetah's speed. Fifty-Sixty miles an hour. Perfect speed when they hunt and they have incredible strength, stealth, agility, and are incredible jumpers." Shadow said with a sly smile. Sonic was astonished by the facts, even Tails and Knuckles were impressed as well. Sally watched on; very amused by Sonic's eagerness of Shadow's raptors. Sonic had one final question, the most important one about the velociraptors.
"Do they show intelligence?" Sonic asked. Shadow and Silver smiled at his question and answered.
"All five of Shadow's raptors are extremely intelligent." Silver said for Shadow. Shadow chuckled and continued were Silver left off.
"I trained them myself. They only obey to me and, in return, I treat them with respect and trust. My raptors are the only males in the entire park." Shadow replied. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails were amazed; Shadow had fully trained these deadly predators.
"Since they're males, won't they be aggressive and start attacking the walls and fences." Tails asked in curiosity.
"Hell No! I tested their intelligence and they do not attack the fences and walls. They will only attack in aggression on Shadow's commands. They remember who's their alpha." Silver responded while pointing at Shadow. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails smiled at the raptors alpha as one of the raptors, Charlie, roared at the visitors. Sally chuckled at the raptor before speaking to her guests.
"Who's hungry?" Sally asked. Sally and her guests returned to the Visitors Center to have lunch. They had chicken alfredo while Sally and Phil the lawyer discuss about the potential profits for Jurassic World's opening. Phil was ecstatic about making a fortune form the park, but Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails had different thoughts. The three continued to think until Sally brought them out of their thoughts.
"So what do you three think?" Sally asked her three guests.
"I'm really concerned about safety Sally. Don't you see the dangers about genetic power? It's one of the greatest powers we could ever grasp and your handling it like a kid who just found a gun." Knuckles began to speak. Phil wanted to interrupt but Sally stop him from interrupting.
"It's okay Phil. Continue Knuckles." Sally replied.
"All I'm saying is that you really don't know how to control these prehistoric beasts. You just recreated these animals and they don't know what world they are in. They are going to possibly react violently and aggressively because you can't control them." Knuckles continued.
"You don't realize Knuckles is that we made these animals. We have control over them because we have the power. Our scientists have found amazing discoveries about them and let nature do the rest." Sally said in defense. Knuckles let out a sigh before finishing his statement.
"What so great about a damn discovery? Discovery is beautiful, but it's also a violent and dangerous world. What InGen calls discoveries, I call rape of the natural world." Knuckles finished. Tails was the next person to say what was on his mind.
"My question is what does InGen know about an extinct ecosystem? You have plants in Jurassic World that are poisonous, but your workers because of their beauty. Like Knuckles said, these dinosaurs will possibly react violently to the plants. We probably won't know what will happen if they consumed these poisonous plants." Tails finished his statement. Sally looked over at Sonic, hoping he can clear all the doubt and negativity in the room.
"Sonic, if there is one person here who can tell any positives about Jurassic World." Sally asked. Sonic looked over to his two friends before clearing his throat and spoke up.
"All of this is just dumped all of a sudden. I'm not going to jump into any conclusions but dinosaurs and us, two different species separated by over 65 million years of evolution, are thrown back into the mix. How could we have the slightest clue of what to expect from Jurassic World." Sonic said.
"I don't believe it. You three were meant to come here to defend me and the only one I have on my side is the damn blood-sucking lawyer." Sally responded. She was surprised by Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails words about Jurassic World's potential failure. She didn't want to believe them just until they had a tour of the whole park. A waiter came up to her and whispered in her ear. Sally stood up and spoke to her guests.
"Let's take a tour." Sally said.
