Storm drove the vehicle across the grassy plains, trying to veer around the herd of Ankylosaurus in the distance. He then tried to curve aroud a nearby group of trees, hoping to get a little distance of the large herbivores. "Are you sure that we're going the right way?"
"I'm not even sure," said Silver, sitting in the back seat, trying to read a map. "Nothing looks the same on this island."
"I shouldn't have asked you to hold the map!" Storm steamed, turning around to face the white hedgehog.
"Hey, I've been out in the park a lot more than you have!" Silver shot back.
"Well, at least I can read a mere piece of paper!" said Storm. "You just-"
"Storm, eyes on the road!" yelled Blaze.
Storm suddenly turned his head around and gasped when he saw a young Ankylosaurus running out of those trees. He slammed the brakes, but the car still poked the young dinosaur hard enough to knock it on its side. The young dinosaur wailed at this, and this quickly got the attention of the larger Ankylosaurus. The three anthropomorphic animals gasped when they say the thirty-foot, armored dinosaur charging towards them, and it prepared to whip out its heavy tail club.
"HEADS UP!" screeched Blaze. Fortunately, Silver quickly whipped out his psychokinesis to lift Blaze, Storm, and himself out of the car just as the club whacked the side of it, tipping it on the side. The result was it tumbling over and the tires on the bottom popping from the pressure. Unfortunately, the sudden jolt of movement happening behind him causing Silver's concentration to break, and he, Blaze, and Storm were dropped onto the ground hard. After this, the Ankylosaurus settled down and walked back to rejoin the herd along with the young Ankylosaurus.
"Ooookay, that one's on me," said Storm, rubbing the back of his head, embarrassed.
"It's okay, Storm, that young ankylosaur came out of nowhere," said Blaze.
"Why did she get so upset?" said Silver. "These Ankylosaurus have never exhibited family behavior like that."
"Never mind that," said Blaze. "I guess we're gonna have to run for it now."
"Then follow me," said Silver, running ahead. "I think I know where to go now."
"Are we there yet?" moaned Amy.
"We get there when we get there!" said Sonic, as the three continued walking towards the visitor center.
Suddenly, they heard a noise coming from the bushes, which sounded like a lot of grunting and growling. The trio decided to risk a peek into the bushes, and saw a group of Pachycephalosaurus bashing their heads together. Two used their thick skulls to ram into each other, while the others watched in eager anticipation.
"Cool, Pachycephalosaurus!" said Tails.
"Yeesh, that one's a mouthful!" said Amy.
The two Pachycephalosaurus continued to bash skulls, until one of them fell backwards. As it tried to stand back up, the other ran into its side with its dome. At this, the other dinosaur was forced to admit defeat, and limped away while the victor celebrated with the rest of the herd.
"I assume this means we're at the Pachycephalosaurus enclosure," said Sonic, looking at the map again. "Which means there should be only one more exhibit between us and the visitor center. The aviary."
He, Tails, and Amy turned their heads to see a large building built like the world's biggest bird cage. "We should hurry," said Sonic.
"Anything to be worried about?" said Amy.
"I can't see any animals in there," said Sonic. "Maybe if we move quickly and carefully, we can make it past."
At long last, Silver, Blaze, and Storm showed up at the maintenance shed. However, Blaze got confused when she looked at the door. Squinting her eyes against the sunlight, she saw that it was slightly open for some reason. She couldn't help but wonder who would have opened the door.
She turned to talk about this with Silver, but the white hedgehog was looking around, as if he spotted something.
"What's up, Silver?" she said.
"I can see something in the bushes over there," Silver said. Suddenly, for half a second, they could hear some chirping.
"Are those... Velociraptors?" Blaze said tentatively. "No, it can't be. Time's not up yet, is it?"
"Might be dilos or compies or something..." Silver muttered. The bushes rattled, and they began moving closer.
"You two," Silver whispered. "Run to the shed. I've got them. Go!"
Though hesitant at first, the cat and albatross decided to listen to him, and run all the way for the shed. Blaze, being more lightly built, reached the door first, and opened it before walking inside, and held the door open long enough for Storm to make inside before she slammed it shut. Blaze then turned on her walkie-talkie as Storm switched on a flashlight, and Vector's voice came in on the other end.
"Blaze? Are you there? Did you make it?" he said.
"Yeah, we just made it inside the maintenance shed, Mr. Hammond," said Blaze.
"I assume you know its already been a half hour," Vector said.
"Wait, what?" said Blaze. "But our watch didn't go off."
Storm shown his flashlight onto his watch, and was stunned to see its cracked screen. "Dang it! My watch must've cracked when we fell outta the car!"
"Maybe you better come back. It's not safe." Vector continued.
"No way," said Blaze. "We came this far, we need to get the power flowing again. Just tell us where to go."
Vector paused for a minute before saying, "Okay, first walk down that metal staircase in front of you."
Sonic, Tails, and Amy walked past the aviary building, and squinting against the sunlight, Sonic could make out the visitor's center outlined against the sky.
"Almost there, guys!" he said proudly. "Now we just-"
Suddenly, the trio heard a huge screech in the sky, and the looked upwards to see four Pteranodons soaring above them. They had fifteen foot wingspans and small crests on the back of their heads.
"Are those dinosaurs gonna eat us?" said Amy.
"Well, technically, they aren't dinosaurs," said Sonic, "but I don't know if-"
Suddenly, one of the pterosaurs dived downward towards the group. They all screamed and ran forward, but the Pteranodon was able to catch Amy by her shoulders with its feet, and it turned around and flew towards the aviary.
"AMY!" yelled Tails, who ran towards the building, causing Sonic to groan and run after him.
"Ugh, we got a dead end," said Storm, frustrated as he and Blaze ran into another wall.
"What?" said Vector on the walkie-talkie. "I don't understand, you should have-"
Suddenly, some fumbling was heard on the radio, and they could hear Shadow's voice take over. "Look above you guys. There should be some power conduits and cable and stuff merging together in the same direction. Follow those, and they should lead you to where you need to be."
Blaze and Storm looked at each other before shrugging and doing as Shadow had said. Indeed, some wires and cable were converging in the same direction, and they began walking in that direction. Eventually, they made it to a big control panel, and an electric power box.
"I think we see, Mr. Hammond!" said Blaze excitedly.
"Let go of me, you stupid birds!" said Amy. Currently, she had been brought inside the aviary and two Pteranodons were fighting over her. She was able to get one of her hands free, and yank her hammer out of her pocket, and swing it at one of the pterosaurs. It let go in surprise, and Amy was able to whack the other one, who was caught off guard. Amy fell and landed painfully on the hard floor, but was able to wake up in time to see the Pteranodons trying to get over their disorientation. She quickly stood up and ran for the nearest exit.
"Blaze, you can't turn on the main power by hand," said Vector. "You must pump up the charge with the handle four times."
"Okay," said Blaze, who opened the power box and saw the long, flat, gray handle. She grabbed it and pumped it up and down four times, before she heard a click.
"Now, the two of you must press two buttons at the same time, hold them down for ten seconds."
Blaze looked at the control panel and saw large, red button that said "Power". She noticed that Storm had walked around the corner. "The other button's around this corner," he called back to her. "I'll hit it. You get the other one."
Blaze nodded and walked over to get into position. She held down the button and heard Storm press his as well. After ten seconds, she heard another click and the lights in the shed turned on.
"Got it?" said Vector. "Now all you need to do is push the button that says 'Push to Close'."
Blaze quickly looked at the panel, until she spotted said button.
Sonic and Tails approached the wall of the aviary, and saw through the deactivated electric fence. They tried to spot Amy on the other side, but suddenly, two more Pteranodons swooped down, and managed to grab Tails by his pack. Tails struggled for a second until he lifted up his arms and slipped out of the pack. He spun his tails to fly, and when he saw the pterosaur fly towards him, he swung his tail to swat it away.
The other Pteranodon got ready to attack, but Sonic used a Homing Attack on the flying reptile, causing the two animals to fly away.
"Guys?" they heard Amy's voice. They turned their heads to see Amy running towards them from the other side of the fence. Quickly, they pried open the cage to make a whole big enough for the pink hedgehog to squeeze through. They heard another screech, and gasp when they saw a Pteranodon flying towards the fence. They braced themselves, but then they heard a blaring alarm sound and noticed the lights on the fence turn on again. Thus, just as the pterosaur made contact, the fence reacted with a huge shock, and the flying reptile was sent flying backwards. It laid there dazed and confused, before slowly standing up and walking away.
"What was that?" said Tails.
"I bet the other figured out how to turn the power back on," said Sonic. "C'mon, the visitor center's just over there. We should be able to get out of this alive now."
The lights quickly turned back on throughout the shed, and Blaze looked up at them smiling.
"Mr. Hammond, I think we're back in business!" she said, overjoyed. "We did it, Storm!" She turned her head over to where Storm had gone, but was confused when she got no response. Tentatively, she walked closer until she heard Storm screaming, and saw blood splattering across the wall. She then saw a Velociraptor emerging from around the corner, carrying Storm's arm in its jaws. It was colored white and blue on its feathery body, had a narrow snout, and had six-inch talons on its feet. It looked over at Blaze, who quickly ran away and towards the stairs. She made it to the door, opened it and slammed it shut as she made it back out side, panting heavily. However, her relief was short-lived, as she ambushed by another Velociraptor, who looked at her with hungry eyes. However, she flinched when she heard a gunshot, and the dinosaur went limp, lying on the ground. She turned her head to see Silver holding his gun towards the body.
"Silver?" said Blaze. Suddenly, more squealing was heard as they turned around and saw another Velociraptor standing on a log.
"Run! I'll take care of this!" shouted Silver. Blaze tried to protest, but Silver shouted at her again, "GO!" Reluctantly, she ran off into the jungle, as Silver pointed his gun at the Velociraptor, keeping a close eye on its every move.
However, he was suddenly knocked to the ground. He looked to his side to see a certain Velociraptor with a scar over her eye, standing above him.
Of course, thought Silver. An attack from the side. The dinosaurs had outsmarted him. Silver grinned despite himself. "Clever girl," he muttered to himself.
At that, the Big One bit down onto his neck, and Silver quickly blacked out.
