After a long swim, the group has managed to find a beach. And they laid exhausted on the sand.
"Never... thought... we be in a... dinosaur stampede." Aviva panted catching her breath. "Or caught in an eruption and pyroclastic flow."
"Yeah, pyroclastic flows is the last thing you want to come across during an eruption." Koki said.
Soon, Claire sat up and turns to Owen. "Where's Zia?"
"It was a double-cross." Owen said. "They took her. She must be with Blue."
"Along with Amber." Martin said.
"Hey, can you still track 'em?" Owen turned to Franklin.
Franklin brought his tablet, but it was all wet now. "Not anymore."
"It was a lie." Claire realized what this was. "It was a lie. Bastards!" She threw a handful of sand. "It was all a lie!"
And then there a loud rumbling sound that came from a volcanic vent. They soon got up, and then appearing form behind the rock ledge. Came a heavy-lift helicopter air lifting a cage with Wrecksy in it who has manage to outrun the ash wall.
And she roars as she was carried away.
"Not all of it." Owen said.
"Glad that Wrecksy's okay." Chris said. "I was beginning to wonder about her."
A heavy-lift helicopter air lifting a Baryonyx strapped to a harness flies towards a large cargo ship. And the chopper carrying Wrecksy nears the back deck.
And on a hilltop, Owen, Claire, Franklin and the Wild Kratts watched them below.
Below, Wheatley was directing the trucks of dinosaurs onto the ship. And one carries a Parasaurolophus.
"Move it!" Wheatley ordered. "Move! Move! Anything of value, I want on that boat!" He then turns to a truck carrying an Apatosaurus. "How you doing?!"
"The bolt won't give!" Said a man.
"Well, just button it up, and we'll tow it on!" Wheatley said. "Let's go!"
Behind him, Wrecksy roars as the helicopter lowers her down. And being ready to be taken from her home that she called for 25 years, basically her whole life.
From the hilltop, the group was not liking this one bit.
Below, an Ankylosaurus was being loaded out into a new cage. While close by, a Baryonyx was strapped to a crane and it's tail knocked over some crates. And 2 men struggled to restrain a squawking Gallimimus into a cage. And nearby, men were working on a flatbed holding a strapped Apatosaur as made sure the harnesses were secured.
And then Wheatley saw a truck hauling a flatbed with a strapped Stegosaurus.
"Hey! Hey, hey, hey!" He called to the driver. "Hang on! Wait up! Stop that truck! Stop it!"
He made his way over to the 3 ton herbivore, and sets down a sac.
"Hey, sweetheart." Wheatley gently strokes the Stegosaur's head. "Hello, hello."
And then he brought a pair of pliers, and then clamps them to one of her back teeth. And then, he pulls a tooth out as the Stegosaurus yelps and bellows in pain.
"Beautiful." Wheatley looks at the tooth. "You're gonna feel that when you wake up."
He then drops the tooth in the sac along with a few other teeth he collected.
"Hey, put your weapon down!" Zia's voice yelled.
Wheatley turns and sees a man holding Zia back and Blue was on her side on a fork lift. And Amber was strapped and was growling and hissing.
"You got the barrel pointed right at her head!" Zia exclaimed.
On the hilltop, Owen looks through his binoculars.
"They have Zia. They're loading out." Owen said.
"If they already had the dinosaurs, why do they need us?" Zia questioned.
"They needed the tracking system to capture Blue and Amber." Claire said.
Owen soon spotted Blue.
"There she is. She don't look good." Owen said.
And then a rumble was heard as Owen looked back and sees part of the north face of the mountain collapses and a bombardment of lava bombs appeared after.
"We need to get on that boat." Owen said getting up.
"Oh, boy!" Koki quickly got up.
"The rock's good. We're safe on the rock." Franklin said.
"Yeah, we should fine." Jimmy said.
"It's the boat or the lava, Franklin." Claire got up.
"Jimmy, just get up." Aviva said.
"All right, boat's good." Franklin convinced. "I'm all about the boat."
"Okay." Jimmy got up.
Below, the men were running to the boat as one was on an ATV and a lava bomb hits the walkway near him.
"Go, go, get on the boat!" Yelled a member. "Get on the boat, now! Go, go!"
A lava bomb hits the water, and as soon as the last of the men pass him. He soon starts running to the boat as the last 2 trucks approach the boat as well.
Behind them, Owen's group soon appeared from the smoke. And there was a truck left behind.
"Get that truck!" Owen yelled.
They started running to the truck as lava bombs hit the ground near them, and the ship's horn blows as it gets ready to leave. And then a lava bomb hits the ground near some barrels of fuel. And triggers an explosion near them.
And then, a lava bomb hits the ground near some barrels, and Franklin and Jimmy were threw of their feet.
And they soon saw them.
"Franklin!" Claire rushed over to him.
"Jimmy!" Koki rushed to Jimmy.
"Hey, get that truck going!" Owen said.
"Okay." Claire said.
Claire, Aviva, Koki and Chris ran to the truck. And Owen and Martin went to get Franklin and Jimmy.
"You okay?" Owen approached Franklin.
"What happened?!" Jimmy still dazed.
"Am I dead?" Franklin asked.
"Not yet, kid." Owen helped him up.
Meanwhile, the group of 4 quickly climbed into the truck. And Claire quickly starts the engine, and starts driving.
And behind them, Owen, Franklin, Martin and Jimmy started running to the truck as it goes.
"Come on!" Owen yelled.
They near the back of the truck, and Owen and Martin got to the truck first and held to the back.
"Hey, wait for me!" Jimmy yelled.
"Come on!" Owen reached out. "Give me your hand! Reach!"
"Come on, Jimmy!" Martin reached out.
"Come on, reach!" Owen yelled.
They grab hold of them, and helped pull them to the truck. Claire looks back they climbed into the back. And as she looks back ahead, she gasps as the ship's loading platform drops from the dock, and over the water.
And the truck nears the ship.
"Hold on!" Claire called.
She accelerates the truck, and they went over the dock and lands on the platform. But the back tires were just an inch from the edge. And then Claire gave it everything it got, and then drove up the platform. And then slams the brakes as they came to a stop.
Then, Claire pulls out a John Deer cap, and puts it on.
Across the floor, members moved around the cages with the dinosaurs. And one of them with a Stegosaurus. And then, some men started to approached the exit of the ship. Claire climbs out and stood up. And then turns as she then saw a lone Brachiosaurus just standing at the end of the dock.
And everyone turns to it.
And the Brachiosaurus bellows out to the ship, as if it was pleading as the smoke plume grows larger behind it. Claire's breath trembles as the Brachiosaurus was soon being engulfed by the smoke as it continues it's bellows. And soon up to it's neck in smoke.
Owen, Franklin and the Wild Kratts watched as well with sadden looks. The Brachiosaur bellows out, and was seen rearing up on it's hind legs as a bright flash was seen. And soon, the ship's back platform begin to close as the Brachiosaur's bellow was heard one last time.
And the door closes, and it was the saddest moment of their creature adventures that the Wild Kratts witness.
And the large cargo ship sails away as the death of Isla Nublar begins.
Thousands of miles to the north, Mills was in his office and looks at a screen as the ship leaves the island.
And then a radio beeps.
"Mr. Mills? Your's visitor's waiting." Said Iris' voice.
In the viewing hall, by the Concavenator exhibit. Was a mid-aged man on his phone.
"Mr. Eversoll." Mills said approaching him. "It's a pleasure to meet you in person after all this time. How are ya?"
"Excuse me?" Eversoll said.
"Yeah?" Mills said.
"Where are the dinosaurs?" Eversoll asked.
"The dinosaurs are, uh, are en route." Mills answered.
"Oh, so am I supposed to sell these ones?" Eversoll gestured to the models.
"Look, you don't to worry, okay?" Mills assured. "They will be here soon."
"I-I don't really work with amateurs, so I'm gonna contact my buyers and call this off." Eversoll said.
"They will be here tomorrow, and your buyers won't disappointed." Mills said as Eversoll was on his phone. "Trust me, whatever their interest agricultural, industrial, sport hunting, we will have something to suit them. 11 species, each with unique biopharmaceutical properties. I estimate 4 million per species."
Eversoll turns to him. "4 million is a slow Tuesday where I'm from. You're wasting my time."
"You ever made 100 million on a Tuesday?" Mills asked making Eversoll laugh a bit. "Huh? All this is in the past. I want to talk to you about the future."
"I'll give you 10 minutes." Eversoll said.
They begin to make their way to down the hall.
"The whole point of selling the Isla Nublar dinosaurs is to finance our future operations here." Mills explained. "It's, uh, seed money. Call it a-an overture to something much more ambitious."
Unknowingly to them, Maisie was hiding behind a Protoceratops display and listening.
"Yeah, and more lucrative, I guess." Said Eversoll.
"Right." Mills types a code on a keypad on the wall. "We've reactivated the old facilities, updated the technology, and imported the best geneticists from around the world."
The elevator doors soon opened.
"This operation has been many years in the planning." Mills said as they entered. "Genetic power is an uncharted frontier."
The elevator lowers down.
"The potential for growth is more than you can fathom."
The elevator doors opened, and they were brought into the lower basement with a lab, and with cages below.
"This way, please." Mills said they stepped out. "If the entire run of our sorry history has taught us one irrevocable lesson, it's that man is inevitably drawn to war and is willing to use any means necessary to win it."
"You're gonna weaponize them?" Eversoll questioned.
"We've been using animals in combat for centuries." Mills said. "Horses, Elephants." They entered inside a lab. "The Soviets used disease-bearing Rats against the Germans at Stalingrad."
"Yes, yes." Eversoll said.
Mills turns off the lights of the lab. "Our geneticists have created a direct descendant of Henry Wu's masterpiece, the animal that took down Jurassic World." He brought up a hologram of Indomitable.
"Indominus Rex." Eversoll said.
And then a hologram of the bone sample appeared.
"Her DNA, retrieved from the island way before its destruction, form the architecture of a completely new creature." He gestured to the bone sample. "Every bone and muscle designed for hunting and killing." And a DNA strand appeared. "And thanks to Owen Grady's and the Wild Kratts research, it follows human command." And then a modified version of Indomitable appeared. "We call it... the Indoraptor."
Late at night, Maisie slowly opens the door to her grandfather's bedroom. She poked her head in, and found him sleeping.
"Grandpa?" She whispered to him and slowly closed the door. "Grandpa?"
She silently went up to him, and noticed the photo book left open. It's likely he was looking through the pages, and fell asleep.
Maisie then noticed one photo, and reaches out to grab it. She slowly pulls it out, but then Lockwood stirs and she pulled her arm back as he woke up.
"Grandpa." Maisie said.
Lockwood was confused of his granddaughter up at this hour. "Maisie? What are you doing up?"
"There was a man here today with Mr. Mills." Maisie explained.
"It was probably just some business about the sanctuary, that's all." Lockwood said.
"I heard them talking... they're going to sell the dinosaurs." Maisie said. "They're bringing them here."
"Wh..." Lockwood confused. "I'm sure you misunderstood."
"I know what I head, Grandpa." Maisie said.
"Maisie, it's way past your bedtime." Lockwood said. "Let's talk about this in the morning."
"But.."
"Maisie, "I'll find out tomorrow." Lockwood said a little firmly. "Go to bed.
Maisie knew that she continue this. "Good night."
She then leaves the room.
"Good night, my heart." Said Lockwood.
Lockwood removes his reading glasses, and a little concern if what Maisie said was true. And he set his glasses down on the book cover, and tucks the photo back in.
