Thousands of miles to the south, the large cargo ship continues it's trey north across the Pacific. And a few miles away, a large storm brews as lightning bolts were seen.

Inside the cargo bay, the surviving dinosaurs were still in their cages as Owen and the others quietly sneak around the trucks.

And as they moved pass the front of a truck, the growl of a dinosaur made Franklin and Jimmy jumped.

"Oh! Jesus." Franklin said quietly.

Inside one of the trucks, Zia was tending Blue as she was strapped and muzzled to a table. And Amber was in a cage, and is very concern of her. And not wanting to leave her. But Blue's condition, if anything has gotten worse.

And Blue heavily breaths from the pain, and then there was a jolt in the truck as the ship must've hit a large wave outside. And Blue growls in pain.

"It's okay, Blue. Just a little longer." Zia assured.

And then the tarps peeled open as Owen appeared.

"Oh, my God!" Zia relieved "You guys are alive! You..."

Owen singled her to be quiet, and soon the others climbed in behind him. And soon saw Blue's condition.

"Oh, no." Aviva gasped.

Owen went up to her. "Oh, look what they've done to her."

"Who are these assholes?" Zia questioned.

"Animal traffickers." Owen said. "Look how they're treating them. They're not gonna take 'em to a sanctuary. They're gonna sell them."

"Not Blue and Amber." Zia said. "They need them for something else."

"Like what?" Claire wondered.

"I don't know, but she's... she's hemorrhaging, and I don't have any instruments, and they want to keep her alive." Zia said.

Blue acts up in pain, and Amber can even sense it.

"Hey. Shh..." Owen gently stroking Blue in assurance. "You're all right. You're all right."

"Claire, come here." Zia said. "Come on. Put your hand here."

Claire moves over to her.

"Steady pressure." Zia said.

Claire pressed her hand on Blue's wound, and then Blue acts up in pain.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey." Owen said gently.

"She really doesn't look very well." Koki said.

"Watch out." Zia said.

And Owen moves aside.

"Is there anything you can do, Zia?" Chris asked.

"I can't take the bullet out without a transfusion from another animal." Zia said. "Which one of you knows how to find a vein?"

"Oh. I-I did a blood drive for the Red Cross." Claire said.

"Great." Zia finding it good enough and then moves over and grabs a few things. "Okay. Franklin, take over for Claire."

"No, no, no, no, no, no..." Franklin nervously begged.

"Franklin. Now." Zia snapped.

Franklin reluctantly moves over next to Claire.

"Steady the pressure." Claire as he took her place.

Franklin placed his hands over the wound. And Blue groans and then suddenly blood squirts into his face. And Owen, Chris and Martin looked away disgusted.

"Oh, my God. Oh, my God." Franklin trembled. "Is it in my mouth?" He turns to Owen. "Did it get in my mouth?"

"Mm-mm." Owen shook his head.

"You sure?"

"You're good."

Zia approached Claire with a plastic bag and a tube and needle.

"All of the animals should be sedated." Zia said.

Claire nodded and removes her vest.

"Look for any kind of tetanuran." Zia said. "Their blood type should be close enough. Look for carnivores with 2 or 3 fingers. No more than 3."

"Okay, scratch Carnotaurus off the list." Martin said.

And then Zia came in thought with one in particular.

"I think there's one on board." Zia said.

"What is it?" Chris asked hearing the fearfully tone.

Later, Owen, Claire, Chris, Martin and Aviva opened the doors of a hauler.

And inside was revealed to be Wrecksy who is sedated. And they all looked at the sleeping giant.

"You got to be kidding me." Claire complained.

They climbed into the hauler, and as Wrecksy sleeps and breathes heavily. Owen slowly reaches his right hand forward. And then gently taps on her snout, they quickly backed away but Wrecksy didn't flinched.

Thinking it's safe, Owen slowly moved aside the right side of the sleeping giant. And sees that she's completely out.

"She's tranqued." Owen assured.

Owne then kneels down, and feels around the side of her neck. And runs his hand across the set of scars that were left from raptor fight 25 years ago. And soon, he found an ideal spot where a vein is.

"Okay, okay. Okay, I got it." Owen said. "Come on."

"Okay." Claire said and slowly moves over to him.

And then Wrecksy stirs and then moves her head to the right as Claire back away. And Owen disappeared behind the 5 foot head.

"Are you okay?" Claire asked.

Owen shot an arm up giving a thumbs up. "I'm okay."

"This, might be a little trickier than I thought." Martin said.

"Come on." Owen said.

Claire slowly scooted pass Wrecksy's head and her right hand twitched. And soon, Claire reaches over the Rex's neck and hangs the bag over Owen.

"You're gonna have to do it." Claire said.

"I can't, I... the skin is too thick." Owen said. "I have to use both my hands to put pressure on the vein. You gotta do it."

"I-I can't. I can't reach." Claire said.

"You're gonna have to climb up there." Owen said.

Claire thought he was crazy. "Oh, I'm not... No, no. I'm not gonna climb up there."

"You'll be okay. "Owen assured. "It's like riding a Bull."

"Or more like an Elephant." Chris shrugged.

"Riding a Bull or Elephant?" Claire frowned. "I didn't grow up in a rodeo or a zoo or whatever you came from."

Owen glance to be sure Wrecksy's asleep. "She's asleep now. I can't say that she's gonna be asleep a minute from now, so get up."

"Claire, we don't have all day." Aviva said.

"Okay, fine." Claire gave out.

"Oh, my God, she stinks." Owen wincing from the Rex's bad breath. "Jesus."

And then Claire jumps up onto the dinosaur's neck.

"Gently. Gently!" Owen said.

Claire straightens herself as Wrecksy moves her head to the left and bangs on the wall. Wrecksy growls and her eyelid twitched and went back to sleep.

And then, Owen noticed how Claire was holding on the neck. And he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Good job." Owen said. "You're this look totally normal."

Claire then begins to insert the needle into the skin, but due to it's thickness of over an inch thick. It was proving to be a challenge.

"You're gonna have to jam it in there." Owen said. "It's really thick skin. Ready?"

"Yeah." Claire nodded.

"One, two..."

And then Claire violently shoves the needle through the skin. And Wrecksy responded with a growl in pain which is more of a Bee sting to her. And then, Wrecksy moves her head to the right, and then pins Owen under her.

And then her head moves aside as Owen peels his head away from the corner of her mouth. And trailing threads of Tyrannosaurus saliva. And Chris and Martin snickered from that. And then, blood started being drawn into the needle, through the tube, and into the bag.

"It's working." Claire said.

They all smiled as then they heard some laughing outside.

"That door is open." Said a voice seeing the cracked open door.

"I got it." Said another.

And then, he closed the door. And locks it.

And then, soft growling was heard as Owen turns as Wrecksy's right eye begins to stir and then starts waking up. And then, her right eye shot towards Owen.

"Uh, guys, she's awake." Martin said.

The moment Wrecksy was fully awake, she started roaring and thrashed her head around in distress. And bangs her head around the walls.

And then, Claire grabs the bars of the roof.

"The bars!" Claire climbing out. "The bars, guys. Guys, I can get through there. Come on."

Soon, Chris, Martin and Aviva climbed out through the bars.

Owen was about too, but the chain holding Wrecksy's right foot snaps off. And then slams onto the wall blocking Owen's escape route.

On the roof, Claire got up and runs across the roof. And Wrecksy roars as she's trying to fight free.

Claire, Chris, Martin and Aviva quickly got down and open the hauler doors.

"Jump, Owen!" Claire yelled.

Owen tries to move, but then was blocked from Wrecky's head as then she lets out a loud roar forcing them to cover their ears. And then her enormous right foot scraps down on the wall as her toe claws made a few sparks.

Owen realized it's now or never.

"Owen, Jump. Now!" Claire said.

And then, Owen dove right through the Rex's open jaws and narrowly avoids getting crushed as they snaps. And Owen rolls out of the hauler and Claire quickly closed the door as Wrecksy made a growl.

"Did you see that?" Owen panted.

Claire nodded.

"Please tell me you got the blood." Owen said.

Claire reaches and holds up the bag shakily.

"That was too close." Aviva said.

Many miles to the north, in Lockwood Estate.

Maisie enters the viewing hall, and then runs over to the elevator. And then she types the code on the keypad that she remembered. And the elevator doors opened, she enters inside it and press the button to the lowest level and the doors closed.

The doors soon opened as she looks at the basement as it was empty.

She then enters inside the lab, and looks at a X-Ray scan of Indomitable's skull. And sees a case spinning with vitals. And even dinosaur eggs in an incubator.

And she then noticed a computer, she moves over sees a video paused showing Owen with Delta only a month old. Maisie glanced back to be sure she's alone, and sat down and plays the video.

"This is Delta. She's one of the holdover Theropods, one of the survivors from the second group." Owen said. "Now, watch this. I show any signs of weakness whatsoever..."

Owen then lowers down, and made sad whimpers as Delta got into a lunging position. And then lunges and bites down as Owen moved his covered left wrist and holds it out as Delta bites and claws as she holds on.

"See that?"

Even as a youngster, Delta was an aggressive Raptor.

And then, the video switched over and showed the Wild Kratts HQ Room, and Chris holds out a stuff target and a few feet away was Amber only a month and a half old.

"Okay, here is Amber." Martin said. "Only 6 weeks old, and is starting to mimic other hunting skills from other animals. And looks ready for her first attempt."

Amber looks at the target curiously.

"Come on, Amber." Chris said encouraging. "You got it."

Chris holds out the target moving it a bit, and interested Amber. And then she lunges and bites on the target.

"Very good, Amber." Aviva beamed.

Amber then plays a tug of war match over the target as Chris held on.

"I'm not letting go!" Chris laughed.

And then the video switched back over to Owen.

"Day 176. Blue is showing unprecedented levels of compliance." Owen said.

And then it showed Owen with Blue.

"Here I am with Blue." Owen said as Blue chattered. "She's a Theropod from the new group. I show signs of weakness..."

Owen then lowers down, and made sad whimpers. But unlike Delta, Blue seemed curiously concern and approached Owen. And then gently nuzzled him and purrs like a little Kitten.

And then Owen lifts his head up. "Hey. I'm okay."

Blue chitters.

"She..." Owen chuckled. "She's pretty extraordinary."

And then the video switched back to with Martin with Amber.

"Okay, this is something that I discovered with Amber." Martin explained. "If any signs of weakness shown."

And then Martin lowers down and made sad whimpers. Amber was suddenly curiously concern, and then approached Martin and then nuzzles him and purrs. And soon, Martin lifts up.

"Hey. I'm okay." Martin said gently.

Amber chattered.

She's... She's really remarkable." Martin smiled.

Meanwhile, on the ship Blue was now being treated as Zia kept a close look on the blood being given.

And Amber sadly watches Blue as she understands what's going on.

"Blue, displaying levels-"

"-of interest, concern, hyper-intelligence, uh, cognitive bonding."

The video then shows Owen playing with Blue by tilting their heads and Blue copies him.

"See that?" Owen said. "She's tilting her head. She's craning forward. Increased eye movement... she's curious. She's showing empathy."

And then it switched over to Amber with Thornsley the baby African Elephant. And both curious of each other, they tilted their heads as Amber curiously copies him.

Head tilting and curiosity is important and Mammals as they learn and grow. And it's important as they grow and learn about the world. It helps them learn, in Elephants and Dolphins even as adults even they learn new things to help solve problems.

"Her curiosity increases with highly intelligent Mammals." Martin said. "With Dolphins and Elephants, she starting to show empathy. It's brand new with Reptiles, including Dinosaurs. Sympathy and empathy."

On the ship, Zia prepares to cut an opening into Blue's left thigh.

"Okay, I'm gonna make an incision in her leg to remove the bullet." Zia cuts through the skin.

Blue shrieks in painfully, and Amber deeply watches her.

"It's a lot of muscle tissue." Zia said.

The muscle tissue in the leg of the Raptor is the powerhouse for a sprinter. Perfect for high speed pursuit.

And Zia carefully used a set of pliers and opens the cut. And grabs a pair of tweezers and reaches in to grab the bullet. And as Owen gently reassures her, tear drops from Blue and Amber's eye.

The video showed Owen scratching Blue under her chin.

And then it shows something interesting.

It switches over to Amber looking at the big screen and playing was 2001 series Walking With Beasts Ep. 6 Mammoth Journey in the beginning when a Mammoth fell through the ice of a frozen pond. And Amber watches curiously concern as the Mammoth calls out in distress.

And it shows as the Mammoths turned around went back for her as one trumpets out.

"Such are the bonds between Mammoths, that the herd do not leave their stranded sister. They stay nearby. Distress, but powerless, expect to comfort her."

Little Amber watches and seems to show a sad expression.

Everyone held their breathes as Zia carefully reaches, and then finally what felt like hours.

She carefully reaches out with the bullet, and then drops it in the tray.

"She's gonna be okay." Zia announce.

Everyone gasped and relieved. And Amber seems to cheer up and made a friendly chatter.

Maisie smiled as she watched the video.

"Blue is the key." Owen said.

The footage showed Owen with Blue as she chitters and then sneezed.

"You have Blue, you get these Raptors to do anything." Owen finished eating a few chips.

And then the door was heard.

"You're sure she'll live?" Asked a voice.

Maisie quickly got up and hid behind a wall.

"It if dies, we have blood samples." Mills said as he enters the room.

"No, no, no. That's not good enough." Said the first voice which sounded familiar. "The Raptor is a behavioral specimen. We need her in good health."

"I didn't shoot the damn thing." Mills said. "What do you want me to do, huh?"

And then walking into view was Henry Wu. "You don't have the faintest comprehension of what I'm doing here. Do you understand the complexity of creating an entirely new life-form?"

"Uh, no, but I understand the complexity of paying for it, okay?!" Mills said.

Maisie got down and begins to crawl away as Mills heads towards her.

"All your money will have been wasted if I don't get Blue here in good health." Henry said and follows Mills. "To get the next iteration under control, it needs to form a familial bond with a closely related genetic link."

"English, Henry." Mills said.

"It needs a mother and a sibling!" Henry yelled.

Maisie pokes her head from behind the stairs as Mills turns to Henry.

"Blue's and Amber's DNA will be part of the next Indoraptor's makeup." Henry explained. "So it will be genetically coded to recognize their authority and assume their traits. Empathy, obedience... everything the prototype you have now is missing."

"Okay, how so long is this gonna take?" Mills asked.

"It's not a sprint, Mr. Mills." Henry scoffed. "It's a marathon."

"A marathon sounds expensive." Mills said and walks off.

Maisie quickly head down the stairs and quickly hid in the shadows of a hall.

"Besides, time is running out and so is my patience, Henry." Mills said heading down.

"You have to understand, this is all uncharted territory." Henry said. "A Wolf, genetically, is barely distinguishable from a Bulldog, but within that gray area... is art."

Maisie continues to back away further down the hall. But is unknowingly walking backwards towards a cage holding something as a black scaled 4 fingered claw hand slips through the bar.

"Spare me the poetry, Henry." Mills groaned. "Can you do it? Can you do it?"

"Yes, I can do it." Henry simply answered.

Maisie unknowingly steps over a red line as for the limited safety distance from the cage.

"Well, then do it." Said Mills.

"Thank you." Henry said and walks away.

"God, you're a pain in the ass." Mills groaned.

The black scaled hand reaches out and is attached to a long arm and reaches out like a monster. And then it's index claws brushes against Maisie's ponytail. Maisie turns as the predatory creature's face was barely seen in the shadows. And then it let out a screeching roar.

Almost thinking it was a living monster, Maisie fearfully screams and then ran away from the cage. But then was stopped by Mills at the end of the hall.

"Hey!" Mills holding her. "Hey! Maisie!"

The unknown predator growls.

"What is that?" Maisie asked. "What is it?!"

And then, Mills brought Maisie into her room. And then closed the door and locked it.

And then he turns to Iris.

"Keep her in there and keep the door locked." Mills said.

"You want to keep her locked in?" Iris said in disbelief.

"That's exactly what I want." Mills heads down the stairs.

"Sir Benjamin needs to see you now." Iris said stopping him and he turns to her. "I believe it's important."

Author's Note:

I felt if Amber learnt empathy by being taught by other animals like Elephants and Dolphins who too show emotion.

And even understands emotionally feeling from watching something. Which is why I added the scene of the Mammoths in Walking With Beasts.

Since Mammoths too, like their relatives can show emotion.
