Jurassic Park IV: Raptors Unite
Rezy starts to mutate horribly, and Jason and Nickie find a way off the island…but spring a trap in the process.
XI
Throwing a Bone
Rezy was stuck inside the bathroom with Hart's corpse, ravenously eating his flesh and spitting out the bones and bullets. His teeth were sharp enough to bite through concrete and make a dent in steel even. He was still amazed that no one found out that Hart had disappeared and believed a simple light bulb blew out.
"Hey Rezy! Whatcha doin' it there?" asked a mercenary named Tyler.
Rezy slurped down the last chuck of meat and wiped his mouth, opening up the door.
"What'd you think I was doing, buildin' a house of cards?" said Rezy.
"Hey, I just wanted to tell you that Jason made some contact with his bosses. Don't you think we should try and call our bosses?"
"Sure, yeah. Let's do that." muttered Rezy quickly.
A loud tear was heard behind Rezy and he yelped quickly, hiding something behind his back.
"What the 'ell was that?" asked Tyler.
"Nothing." said Rezy, who was hiding the spikes that started growing from his back.
"Michael, we've been here for nearly 24 hours. My whole team is dead…and as far as I'm concerned, there are no tourists." said Jason.
"What…what the hell happened?! This whole operation was supposed to go perfectly fine! You should've found all the tourists by now!"
Jason sighed. "Why is it that I feel you left out a giant detail about our contract?"
"What do you mean?"
"This island's been dormant for 30 years and now all of a sudden, a whole fleet of dinosaurs just show up and start running rampant."
"So what are you saying?"
"…What if there was just one dead organism that somehow evolved and came back to life as some horrible abomination? Throughout the past 30 years, it could've found a way to reproduce and…"
"And what?"
"Can you get a couple of your men to come down here so we can 'discuss' our little plan again?"
"Why? You already know the tourists are dead, so just call for an evac and we'll send a ferry!"
"We need backup in case more raptors decide to ambush us again. We'll go find our own way to the beach and you can simply meet us there."
"…If you say so."
"Hey, Jason! Tyler and some of the others just found a hallway that may lead to a nearby harbor on the beach." said Nickie.
"Great. Now we know of a place where we can evac quickly. My boss just said he'll send backup if we find the right extraction point."
Jason, Rezy and the other mercenaries were standing inside the hi-tech building that looked like a fortress. First, they were stuck inside a crumbling temple and now they were inside a futuristic fortress. All of them were amazed that something like this had been built and was rotting away for 30 years. And yet…there was no speck of dust anywhere. The whole place looked like it had been opened for only a day or two.
"Whoa…what's wit all this then?" asked Tyler.
"Don't tell me the dinos built this fortress?" asked Rezy.
"They can build bombs and set traps. I'm not surprised these reptiles figured out how to build fortress and stuff." said Alice.
"Does anybody think that this hallway over here might lead to the harbor?" asked another mercenary who found a secret hallway.
Everyone walked over to the hallway and looked inside it, finding another room at the end of it. The walls were transparent and had some odd kind of heat source that lit so brightly that the whole hallway was red.
"Okay…who wants to go through the spooky hallway first?" asked Jason.
"I guess me an' Blitty'll go through." said Tyler.
"Really? What if this is another trap?"
"We've been standing here and haven't said a word at all since we got here. This is the least we could do. Besides, I'd rather be blown to bits than get my guts torn out by a raptor's jaws."
"Uh…Greg, Wilz, and Meson, you go with them. They uh…might need the backup." said Rezy, scratching his scales and skin.
"You awright mate? I think you're…shedding."
"I'm fine Greg! Just go!" Rezy snapped.
And so the five highly ranked British mercenaries began to walk along the hallway, their clothing slowly turning red due to the lights. Tyler looked up and saw a tiny camera beep as it noticed the five of them enter.
"I think I can see the harbor from here! It's right outside the window!" said Greg.
Right when Greg was about to exit the hallway, the door slammed shut in his face and locked.
"Bollocks!!" he shouted.
"Awright, let's just go a different route. Nickie?" said Tyler.
As the group began to walk out of the hallway, the door that they entered slowly began to shut and locked too.
"Nickie?!" asked Tyler over his radio.
"I'm right outside the door buddy. What's goin' on? Why did the doors lock?"
"I dunno. Try an' see if you can override the security system with the computer and open it back up again."
Nickie sat down near a terminal and started typing in keys, sifting through the security codes. Eventually, he found the right one and pressed the enter key. To his surprise, big bold white letters that read 'SECURITY ALARM ACTIVATED' appeared and the alarms began to blare loudly in their ears.
"Could you open up that door now?" asked Jason.
"I'm going as fast as I can."
The mercenaries inside the hallway started looking all over the place, wondering what was going on.
"What's that?" asked Wilz.
Two lights appeared from the walls and looked like they were about to start some machine. Then, like magic, a laser appeared and zoomed forward, ready to cut them all in half.
"GET DOWN! DOWN!!!" yelled Tyler.
Everyone grunted when they threw themselves backwards and hit the floor. They also heard a light swish and squish in the background.
"Greg? Greg!!" yelled Tyler.
Greg was lying on his back, his hands on his face. The laser sliced right through his face, cutting off all the skin. He was bleeding heavily.
"Meson!"
Meson was the mercenary who hadn't managed to throw himself backwards, getting sliced by the red laser. At first, it looked like nothing was wrong with him, but the inside of his mouth began to bleed. Pretty soon, half of his head slid off his neck.
"Open the door Nickie!" yelled Jason.
"C'mon Nickie, you gotta move faster! It's killing them in there!" said Ren.
"I'm trying!" yelled Nickie.
"Stay conscious Greg. You're about to go into shock. STAY AWAKE!!!" yelled Tyler.
Greg slowly slipped into unconsciousness, inevitably dying from his wounds.
"TYLER!! It's comin' back!" yelled Wilz.
The remaining three mercenaries looked at the end of the hallway and saw another set of lights appear, meaning another laser beam was going to try and slice them in half. The laser showed up close to the floor, ready to sever their feet.
"IT'S COMIN' BACK!!!" yelled Wilz, slowly backing up.
He jumped up in the air to try and avoid the laser…only to have the laser shoot upwards and slice through Wilz's stomach, cutting him in half.
"UHGH!!!" yelled Wilz.
Wilz fell to the floor, his eyes nearly popping out of his head. Two seconds later, his upper body slid off of his legs. Tyler hopped up to the ceiling and made it so that he was horizontally above the laser's path. Blitty dropped to the floor and hid under the laser, losing a good portion of his hair.
"Oh, God."
"Open the goddamn door!!!" yelled Jason.
Tyler and Blitty were standing back to back, waiting for the last laser to appear so they could block it. However, a laser came from both sides of the room and were about to decapitate them. But at the last second, the lasers turned into complex laser grids that could only be avoided if the mercenaries were mice. In other words, they were about to die.
"Shit." growled Tyler.
"Fuck." squealed Blitty.
"GOT IT!!" said Nickie.
Unfortunately, Nickie was one second too late; the lasers slowly moved through Tyler and Blitty and minced their bodies. The two of them stood still for a few seconds, but eventually deformed into tiny bite-sized pieces. The door opened and revealed the five corpses that were lying on the floor, with very little blood in the hallway.
"Um…we should find a different route."
Elsewhere, Rezy was standing on top of a mountainside, screeching at the moon. His screeching was so loud that all the other raptors and dinosaurs heard him. It was the equivalent to a dog whistle in a way. All the raptors were now rushing to Rezy's location…which happened to be where all the mercenaries were located.
The hunters were about to become the hunted…
A/N: Please don't leave a review saying, "Hey! You stole that scene from Resident Evil!" I just felt like using it for some reason...
