Woot! Woot! Chapter 7 :D only two more chapters to go Again, Sorry for the long wait, I haven't been in much of a writing mood xP But I'm determined to finish this story if it's the last thing I do! xD Real quick side note though; this is FAN FICTION for a reason. Everything does NOT have to be exact, and it's MY story. Don't like it, don't read it, Kay? ;) Now, on with the story! Enjoy


Mr. Arnold didn't like the idea of shutting down Jurassic Park's entire system. In fact, he thought it was the dumbest idea he had ever heard. It was too risky, if the system does not come back on, then they would all be vulnerable to any dinosaur that may wander inside. But still, John Hammond was the boss, and he insisted on shutting down the system. It also didn't help that the strange man called the Doctor was backing Hammond up.

Resentfully, Mr. Arnold pulled out his keys from his pocket and approached the red power box. Finding the right key quickly, he unlocked the small door and began turning off the switches one by one.

The computers began to turn off as Mr. Arnold flipped the switches. Muldoon and Ellie grabbed nearby flashlights, preparing for the total black out.

Mr. Arnold turned off the main switch, causing the room to be consumed by darkness. Ellie and Muldoon turned on their flashlights. Ellie aimed hers at Mr. Arnold and the power box. Mr. Arnold looked back at everyone, his fingers still resting on the main switch. "Hold on to your butts," he instructed. Amy had to force herself to hold back a giggle. She's never heard someone say such an odd statement. The Doctor gave her a small smile which told her he thought it was funny too.

Mr. Arnold flipped the main switch back to on, but nothing happened. "Umm…" Mr. Arnold said.

The Doctor could hear a slight beeping noise coming from behind him. "What's that sound?" He asked out loud. He followed the noise, which lead him to a single computer monitor. Mr. Arnold joined his side quickly and stared and the monitor. At the bottom of the screen it read: 'System Ready.' Mr. Arnold smiled, "It's okay. It's on! You see that? It worked!"

The Doctor smiled too and gave Mr. Arnold a pat on the back. "Good job, Mr. Arnold!"

Dr. Malcolm sat up as far as he could. "Wha-What do you mean it worked? Everything's still off."

"Maybe the shutdown tripped the circuit breakers. All we have to do is turn them back on, reboot a few systems: telephones, security doors, half a dozen others, but it worked. System's ready," Mr. Arnold answered.

Muldoon looked up, "Where are the breakers?"

"Maintenance shed on the other side of the compound. Three minutes, I can have the power back on in the entire park."

The Doctor smiled, "That's great! Now, what do we do till then?" Mr. Arnold was already making his way out the door. Hammond was the one who answered the Doctor's question.

"Well, just to be safe, I want everybody in the emergency bunker until Mr. Arnold returns, and the whole system's up and running again."

"Alright! Let's head there now," the Doctor replied.

Like always, the Doctor and Muldoon had to carry Dr. Malcolm while they followed Hammond to the emergency bunker. They were able to access the room from inside the control room. Problem was, they had to go down stairs, which served as a real struggle to the Doctor and Muldoon. Carrying Malcolm downstairs was not the easiest thing in the world. Eventually, Amy and Ellie stepped in and helped.

Once they reached the bottom, they laid Malcolm down on top of a table in the middle of the room. The walls were made of stone. The room itself contained many shelves with maps of the park, flash lights, water, and other supplies. There was also a large cabinet on the other side of the room, but no one bothered to search it.

Hammond and Malcolm quickly began to argue about the park. Ellie was talking to Muldoon while playing with a two-way radio she found. Amy and the Doctor were leaning against the stone wall, watching everyone else.

Amy's eyes kept finding their way back to Malcolm, the Doctor noticed this. "You seem to have quiet the crush on Dr. Malcolm."

"Oh, shut up!" Amy giggled.

"You can't deny the truth, Amelia Pond!" The Doctor joked, "I saw you two kissing last night."

"What?! You saw?!"

"Yep. You know, you're not supposed to kiss on the first date. You really should wait for a least the third date," he lectured.

"Oh? Since when did you become the dating expert?"

"I'm over nine hundred years old. I have way more experience than you do, Pond."

"You're right; I never should've doubted your wisdom, old man." Amy said sarcastically.

The Doctor laughed briefly. After he calmed down, he said, "But, I advise you not to get too close to him."

"Yeah, I know. We'll have to leave here eventually. Don't worry, Doctor, I'll be fine."

The Doctor smiled and nodded, "Good."

Ten minutes had already passed but still no sign of Mr. Arnold. Ellie was getting worried; she kept checking the door that led outside, pacing up and down the stairs.

"Oh god, something went wrong. Something's happened. Something's wrong." The Doctor knew she was right, Mr. Arnold should've been back by now. Muldoon was worried too.

Hammond was now cleaning Malcolm's wound. "It's just a delay. That's all it is. All major theme parks have delays. When they first opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked."

Malcolm shook his head, "Yeah, but John, if Pirates of the Caribbean break down, the pirates don't eat the tourists."

Ellie approached John, "I can't wait anymore. Something went wrong. I'm going to go get the power back on."

"I'll go with you," the Doctor said. Muldoon and Ellie looked at him with not-so-sure expressions. "There's safety in numbers," the Doctor stated. Ellie nodded in agreement.

"Well, you can't just stroll down the road, you know?" Muldoon said, and then approached the cabinet.

"Well, don't let's be too hasty. I mean, he's only been gone…" Hammond trailed off when he checked his watch.

Muldoon unlocked the cabinet doors to reveal several shotguns and ammunition inside. "I'm going with you." He grabbed a shotgun and loaded it.

"I'm going too," Amy said. The Doctor quickly turned to her and placed both his hands on her shoulders.

"No, Amy, I need you to stay here with John and Dr. Malcolm," he stared intently into her eyes.

"But, Doctor, what if something goes wrong out there? You'll need me."

"You'll be safe in here and that's all I need. I need to know that you'll be safe. Okay?"

Amy sighed and nodded. "I'll come back for you soon, I promise."

"Okay." The Doctor smiled and placed a kiss on Amy's forehead.

John pulled out a map and laid it on top of Malcolm, accidently hitting Malcolm's wounded leg. Malcolm winced in pain.

"Sorry," John said. The Doctor, Ellie, and Muldoon gathered around the map. "Now, this isn't going to be just like switching on the kitchen light. But I think I can follow this and talk you through it."

Ellie nodded and sighed, "Right." She grabbed two walkie-talkies and handed one to John.

"Come on, let's go," Muldoon said. They started making their way up the steps.

"Take us through it step-by-step. I'm on channel two," Ellie instructed before she climbed the stairs and stepped outside.

Muldoon was the first to step outside, then the Doctor, then Ellie who closed the door behind her. The air was hot and humid; it didn't take long for all of them to start sweating. The dense forest around them was loud with birds singing and many bugs.

Muldoon was cautious; scanning the whole area with his eyes before moving forward. The Doctor and Ellie followed behind him silently. After walking a few yards, they began to pass a large, pen-like structure, a cage for dinosaurs no doubt. Muldoon was the first to notice it, then Ellie, then the Doctor. There was a gap in the top fence; the wires were broken and bent.

Muldoon knelt down and studied the dinosaur tracks in the dirt.

"What exactly was in that pen?" The Doctor asked while he too studied the tracks.

"Velociraptors," Muldoon answered. "But, Velociraptors were small. There's no way they could've done that."

"Heh, our Raptors are not small. They're about six feet tall," Muldoon said.

"But-"

"Their DNA was mutated. That's probably why they're so big," Ellie said.

"Right," the Doctor looked back at the gap in the fence.

"The shutdown must've turned off all the fences. Damn it, even Nedry knew better than to mess with the Raptor pen," Muldoon said, and then he took off his hat. Ellie was searching the forest for any sign of movement, afraid that a Raptor may jump out and attack them any second.

"We should keep moving," the Doctor suggested. Muldoon put his hat back on his head. "Right. Come on, this way."

Muldoon led them into the woods, where they were able to follow a small path that was barely visible. In the distance, the maintenance shed could be seen. Ellie was the first to see it. "I can see the shed from here. We can make it if we run," she whispered.

Muldoon wasn't looking at her, or the Doctor, but straight ahead of him. He raised his gun. "No. We can't."

The Doctor tried to find what he was staring at, but couldn't see anything.

"Why not?" Ellie whispered.

"Because, we're being hunted."

"Oh god…"

The Doctor slowly backed up until he was standing next to Ellie, eyes on Muldoon.

Muldoon continued, "In the bushes, straight ahead…It's alright."

"Like hell it is," Ellie commented.

"Both of you run, towards the shed. I've got her…Go! Now!"

They took off running, leaving Muldoon behind. The Doctor jumped over a fallen tree, but Ellie ran into it. "Come on!" He called out to her, waiting for her to catch up to him. She ran past him, and he took off behind her. They leapt over another fallen tree, and ran through some bushes. The Doctor ran into a tiny thorn branch, giving him a cut across his left cheek. After running through a puddle, they made it out of the woods, and soon found themselves inside the maintenance shed.

"Mr. Arnold?!" The Doctor called out, his voice echoed off the walls. Ellie caught her breath. "You alright?" She asked.

"Never better, you?"

"I'm fine."

It was pitch black inside the shed. "Did you bring a flashlight?" The Doctor asked.

"Oh, yeah." Ellie pulled out the flashlight she had brought, turned it on, and handed it to the Doctor. She then pulled out the two-way radio and put on a headset. "John, we're in." They began to make their way down the stairs. Because of the headset, the Doctor had no idea what John was saying to her.

"Right. Going down," Ellie said to John. "Okay," she said. "He says to take a left," she informed the Doctor.

"Lead the way," he replied.

After a few more turns, they hit a dead end. "Damn it. Dead end," she told John. She listened to the instructions then pointed up at the ceiling. The Doctor pointed the flashlight up. There were different types of cables and pipes.

"We follow the piping," she informed once again.

"Why didn't we do that the first time?"

Ellie shrugged.

A few moments later, they found a fence door. The Doctor lowered his flashlight, and on the other side of the door was a giant power box.

"I see the box," Ellie said to John. She opened the fence door and approached it. "It says 'High Voltage.' Yeah." She opened large box. On the inside, there was another sign that read 'Danger: High Voltage.' There was also a long row of buttons on the left side, and close to the bottom was a flat, grey handle.

Ellie knelt down to the handle and grabbed it. "Okay, here I go."

She pushed it up, "one." She pushed it up again, "two, three, four." The handle clicked. "Okay, charged."

She then searched for a button. "Push to close…Push to close…" Once she found the little green button, she covered it with her thumb, waited a moment, and then pushed it. Suddenly, the row of buttons on the left lit up. Ellie listened for her next instructions, then she began switching them on. One by one she turned them on, each glowing red once on. She made her way down to the last switch; the Perimeter Fence.

The ceiling lights came on. "Yes!" The Doctor shouted. Ellie was grinning from ear to ear. "Mr. Hammond, I think we're back in business!"


And that concludes Chapter 7
