Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Jurassic Park/World or Phineas and Ferb except the very characters I've made up. I also don't own Jimmy Fallon (obviously), and any appearances he makes in this chapter are based on his appearance in the film, not his appearance in real-life.
Zach and Ferb pushed on the great wooden double doors that led into the building and they opened with a long creak. Light streamed into the building for the first time in perhaps many years. Inside the structure was a vast room which appeared to lead to different parts of the building. Vines and other greenery drenched over the walls and covered the floor.
"What is this place?" Zach asked.
"I...I'm not sure," Phineas said.
"Maybe its some ancient ruins," Gray said. "I read that before Isla Nublar was officially discovered in 1525 by Spanish navigator Diego Fernandez, there was a tribe of native people living here. They're called the Bribri tribe."
"What happened to them?" asked Candace.
"When InGen bought the rights to use this island for the theme park in 1987, the remaining Bribri were moved off the island to the mainland of Costa Rica."
Isabella bent down and picked up an object – it looked like a piece of plastic rib bone. Then she picked up a cloth lying on the floor and tore a piece from it. "Hm, too bad I don't have matches with me."
"I have some," Gray told her. He handed her the matches and after she wrapped the cloth around the bone, she lit it, creating a torch. "And now we have light!"
"Cool," Phineas congratulated. "Now we can scavenge around here and look for anything that can help us get back to the park."
Isabella's torch shined upon the cloth she found on the floor. This wasn't just any cloth though – it was a long banner that read: WHERE DINOSAURS RULE THE EARTH. "Guys," Isabella said, "this structure isn't that ancient."
"How do you know?" Stacy asked her.
Isabella pointed to the banner.
"Hey," Gray said. "That's the same banner that they had in the original Visitor Center in the first park."
Candace shivered in discomfort. "Where the heck are we?"
"We must be in the original Visitor Center then," Ferb concluded. "The crown jewel of John Hammond's Jurassic Park."
"Yeah," Phineas agreed. "And it never got a full unveiling due to those unfortunate circumstances that occurred."
"In that case," Zach said, "maybe there is some stuff in here we can use in here. Let's scout around a bit."
The group looked through the Visitor Center, observing everything from the moss and plants growing up through the floor, to the vine-covered walls bearing a wall-length painting that portrayed several species of dinosaurs in their natural habitat. Finally, they made their way to one of the side rooms.
"This must be the gift shop," Zach said.
"These are cool," said Gray as he picked up a pair of what looked like binoculars. He put them on his head. "Why are these so heavy?"
Ferb came alongside him and pressed a little button on the side. Then, the view from the "binoculars" turned from dark to green.
"Oh, cool!" Gray exclaimed. "Night-vision! Thanks, Ferb! This will come in handy."
"Check out this room, guys!" Isabella called. Everyone followed her voice until they found her in a smaller room where two jeeps were parked. This must have been a garage. Ferb inspected each of the jeeps and looked at Phineas. Phineas knew exactly what was going through his brother's mind.
"According to Ferb," Phineas explained, "it shouldn't take much to get these jeeps up and running again."
"That's good news," Zach said. "What model is this thing?"
"1992 Jeep Wrangler Sahara," Gray answered. "Sand Beige."
Zach looked at his brother and smiled. "Remember when we fixed up Grandpa's old Malibu, right?"
"Yeah, maybe we can fix this jeep. Plus, we've got Phineas and Ferb here too. They're great with building and fixing things."
"You bet we are," Phineas said. "Looks like all we need is a new battery, some new tires and fuel and we'll be out of here. Looks like I know what else we're gonna do today."
"And by the way," said Candace. "We just need the car fixed. No doohickeys that make it fly, or driverless steering capabilities or what not. We just need it fixed. No telling where that...thing that chased us is."
"It's probably not gonna find us," Zach told her. "We lost it by the waterfall."
"Still," Stacy said, "I don't wanna stick around too long. Let's get this thing fixed."
Phineas opened the hood of the jeep. "Cool. Looks like it's in pretty good condition considering its been cooped up in here for 22 years."
Owen hacked through jungle foliage, followed by Claire and Agent P. The three of them were still looking for Claire's nephews.
"Are you sure your nephews went out here?" Owen asked.
"No," Claire answered, "but there were only two gyrospheres in the valley when they were all called back to the station. Do you think the dinosaur found them?"
Perry chattered.
"Found something, Perry?" Owen asked.
Perry nodded and pointed to a wrecked gyrosphere beyond the edge of the clearing of the forest they were in.
"Oh my gosh," Claire said. "That might be there's."
The three of them rushed to the first gyrosphere they saw. It had been cut open on the side.
"It's almost surgical," Owen observed. "I don't think I. rex could open a gyrosphere like that."
"There's a cellphone inside. I wonder if it's...Zach's." Claire reached in and grabbed the phone. Her jaw dropped. "Oh no...it is Zach's."
Owen pointed to a set of footprints leading away from the gyrosphere. "They made it out though. There's another gyrosphere over there. Let's go see if we can figure out who was in that one."
They investigated the second gyrosphere, which was far more damaged than the first. It had suffered a huge impact, as if something powerful had collided with it from the top. Owen noticed many footprints here. In addition to human footprints, indicating whoever was in here had survived, he also saw large footprints the size of truck tires – Apatosaurus footprints. Based on the distance between each footprint, it appeared they were spooked by something and "fled" (if you can call their ambling "fleeing"). Also sighted was a set of large three-toed tracks – clearly these belonged to the Indominus rex. Owen shook his head. "This thing's a monster."
"What's that trail from?" Claire drew their attention to yet another set of footprints, leading toward the gyrosphere that had been "surgically" cut open and then toward the jungle. They were two-toed, but didn't seem to belong to any dinosaur Owen was familiar with.
"I'm not sure, Claire," Owen answered. "Never seen these tracks before."
Perry bent down to the tracks. He'd never seen footprints like these before, but he knew exactly who had made the contraption that made them – his owners! That meant they were probably in trouble too. Pulling his hat lower over his eyes, Perry chattered and indicated that he wanted Claire and Owen to follow him.
Owen shrugged. "I guess he wants us to follow."
Rushing back into the jungle, Perry followed the trail of the strange contraption through the foliage until they found it had crashed in some dense vegetation.
"And what's this?" Owen asked. "Looks almost like a Velociraptor."
"What I want to know is who built this thing," Claire said. "Is that a gyrosphere that someone used to make the body?"
Perry nodded.
Owen grinned. "Wait, I think I know who built this thing."
"Who?"
"Two boys I met earlier named Phineas and Ferb. They make a lot of crazy inventions like this. I bet I know what happened: they went into the valley to rescue your nephews and that's when the I. rex started chasing them. They fled into the jungle where their...raptor machine thing got caught on these vines and not having time to get it on its feet, they left it behind and continued running."
Claire rubbed her forehead. "Great, now we've got my nephews and two other boys to worry about."
"Hey, if your nephews are with Phineas and Ferb, they'll be fine. Trust me. Those two can make an airplane out of nothing paper mache."
Claire rolled his eyes. "If you say so."
"I'm not kidding. They actually did. But that's another story." Owen turned to Perry. "Well, Agent P, lead the way."
Perry nodded and continued following the trail made by his owners and the I. rex. He felt that they were finally getting closer to rescuing the boys. The trail went on through the jungle until it was evidenced that the boys and their pursuers had gone into a small clearing. This was where Perry, Owen and Claire saw a creek that fed water to a large waterfall nearby.
Owen put his machete away and brought out his rifle, just in case. "They must have jumped," he concluded. "Brave kids."
Claire put her hands over her mouth in shock. "Oh my gosh! Those boys were in my care! This can't be happening!" Cupping her hands around her mouth she yelled, "ZACH! GRAY!"
"Shh!" Owen said.
Claire glared at him. "I will not be shushed! ZACH! GR–"
"Just listen to me for one moment, OK?" Owen demanded. In a calmer, quieter voice, he added, "Listen, those kids are still alive. But you and I will not be if you continue to scream like that."
Taking deep breaths, Claire began to calm herself down. "OK, OK. I'm calm. So can't you...I dunno, pick up their scent or something? Track their footprints?"
"I was with the Navy, not the Navajo."
"But you just were tracking their footprints a few minutes ago."
"Yes, in damp soil. Most of the jungle floor isn't damp enough to preserve footprints for long, ones that we can readily identify anyway."
"Then what about the platypus?"
"Perry."
"Perry, right. Can't he sniff them out?"
Owen looked at Perry. Perry shook his head (even though platypus had a good sense of smell, they aren't "bloodhounds" by any stretch).
Claire put her hands on her hips. "OK then, Owen, what do you suggest we do?"
"You get back," Owen said. "Perry and I will find the kids."
"No, we'll find them."
Owen didn't change his mind. "Are you nuts? You'll last two minutes in there. Less in those ridiculous shoes."
Claire glared at Owen for a few seconds before she removed the white jacket she was wearing over her white blouse and tied the sleeves around her waist. Then she rolled up the sleeves of her blouse up to her elbows before placing her hands back on her hips.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Owen asked.
"It means," Claire answered, "I'm ready to go."
Owen groaned. He looked at Perry, who shrugged his shoulders in reply. Turning back to Claire he said, "OK. Fine. But let's get one thing straight: out here, I'm in charge. You do everything I say, as I say it."
Claire sighed, but arguing with Owen wasn't going to get anywhere, so she agreed. Agent P walked to the edge of the cliff that dropped down into the river below. He jumped down and into the water. Claire looked over the edge to see if she could spot him. "Where did he go? Do you see...um, Perry?"
"No, not at the mo...ment. Hey, I see something surfacing by the riverbank. It's probably him."
True to Owen's prediction, Perry resurfaced and clambered onto land. After ringing out his soaked fedora, he put it back on his head and dropped to all fours, sniffing the ground. Then he rose back up and gave a thumbs up to Owen and Claire.
"Well, looks like Perry's got the trail," Owen said.
Lowery and Vivian Krill watched the large monitor on the wall from the Control Room. They were reviewing some of the footage taken earlier during the I. rex escape. The footage clearly showed the animal camouflaging into its environment; even the heat she radiated from her body due to her being an endothermic animal vanished from the security camera's view.
"So we know it can camo, right?" Lowery asked. "But that doesn't explain how it was able to hide from the thermal tracking system in her cage."
"She'd have to be able to change her heat signature," Vivian informed him. "No animal can do that."
Masrani, who was standing behind them sighed. "We're not dealing with a normal animal here."
Lowery punched some keys on his keyboard, which brought up a map of the island on the monitor. There were a series of red dots scattered across the northern range of the map. "All those red dots indicate where I. rex attacks occurred. Every time she attacks, she moves further south. She's heading right for the park."
"Why would she come here?" Vivian asked.
"She can sense the thermal radiation," Lowery guessed. "Our emergency measures just put all the warm bodies into one place."
Just outside the entrance to the Control Room, Hoskins and Vanessa were waiting. Hoskins turned to Vanessa.
"You ready?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I guess," Vanessa said.
"Good. Now remember, make sure you sound genuinely interested in what's going on in the park. Then bring up my idea about the raptors in a way that makes it seem like it's your idea."
"I've got it. I don't have short term memory loss, you know."
Vanessa walked around the corner and toward Masrani.
"Hi," she said quietly.
Masrani, Vivian and Lowery turned to her direction. "Hi," Masrani replied. "Who are you?"
"I'm Vanessa Doofenshmirtz. My Dad's the guy who tried to take down that dinosaur with the chicken-inator."
"Oh, the pharmacist."
"He's an evil scientist actually."
"I see."
"So what's going on around here? Did your guys bring down the..."
"Indominus rex," Lowery interjected.
"Yeah, that thing."
"We wish. Based on where her attacks are taking place, it looks like she's headed right for the park."
"What do you plan to do about that?"
Lowery sighed. "We're still trying to figure that out."
"What if we try luring her back into her paddock?" Vivian inquired.
"She's intelligent," Masrani told her. "She was able to fool us into thinking she escaped; I have little doubt she won't figure out that we're trying to get her back in."
"Say, Mr. Masrani," Vanessa brought up, "doesn't some guy who works for you train raptors?"
"Yes, he's studying their behavior and seeing how intelligent they are."
"Well, why don't you use them to take hunt down and kill the Indominus rex?"
"Good, good!" Hoskins whispered.
"They're fast and pretty lethal. They'd probably be able to get the job done before you can blink an eye."
Masrani looked thoughtful. Then he said, "Just out of curiosity, did Hoskins put you up to this?"
Vanessa's jaw dropped. "Uh..."
"Wait! Masrani!" Hoskins rushed from around the corner. "Just here me out!"
Masrani nodded. "As I thought."
"How'd you guess?" Vanessa asked.
"Your father's working with Vic Hoskins and he's been dying to conduct field tests on the Velociraptors for ages." He turned to Hoskins and added, "What wasn't clear about our last discussion to use the raptors for–"
"I'm not talking about a field test this time. I'm talking about taking care of that monster that's running loose on the island. It's already been responsible for several attacks and it's gonna eat everyone and everything on this island if we're not careful. I've been working on an application for these raptors for two years and trust me, they can kill that I. rex."
"But your program was to test their intelligence."
Hoskins nodded. "Yeah, it was, and we did. But in doing so, we learned something. These raptors follow orders. You see, the solution to your crisis is standing right in front of you."
"Let me be as clear as I can," Masrani announced. "No Velociraptors are going to be set loose on this island."
"I told you before, Vic," Lowery said. "You're out of your mind if you want to let a pack of vicious, calculating assassins loose."
"Hey," Hoskins snapped. "I wasn't talking to you."
"He's right, Hoskins," Masrani told him.
Before Hoskins could respond, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, followed by Hamada entered the Control Room.
"Hello!" Doofenshmirtz called out. "Dr. D is in the house!"
"I know who you are," Masrani said. "You're a scientist I understand."
"Yeah, that's what I am. Though most people tend to think I'm a pharmacist when they first see me. I guess it's in the lab coat."
"Probably. What was that machine you tried using on the Indominus?"
"It was a chicken-inator. As the name suggests, it turns whatever animal or person it shoots into a chicken. I was going to use it on my nemesis, but I guess I'll try that another day. What I was actually trying to build was a dinosaur-trust-inator."
"And what does that do?"
"Well it has 'dinosaur-trust' in the name. Essentially it causes a dinosaur that it shoots to automatically develop trust in the individual who shoots it. This time around, I've created an actual dinosaur-trust-inator instead of a chicken-inator. So when we use it, it should work this time."
"That was another method I thought could be useful in getting that I. rex back in its paddock," Hoskins explained. "If my raptor plan wasn't anonymously accepted." After Masrani sighed in irritation, he added, "What are you going to do then? You got 20,000 people on this island with nowhere to go! You've got no more boats; you don't have enough guns! That thing is a killing machine, and it will not stop!"
"He's got a point you know," Doofenshmirtz acknowledged. "After all, the best way to fight a dinosaur is to use another dinosaur."
Masrani looked thoughtful again. A few moments later, he responded with, "OK, I intend to personally look into your raptor project to determine its viability within the moral principles of this company."
Hoskins shrugged. He didn't fully convince Masrani, but at least he made some headway. "OK, boss. What's your next move?"
"I'm going to pay a visit to our head geneticist. Hamada, Doofenshmirtz...I might be needing you soon, so you'd best follow me so we all can know what exactly it is we're up against."
"Cool, the genetics lab," Doofenshmirtz said. He turned to Vanessa. "You know, if I ever wanted to retire from being evil, I was thinking that maybe I could be a high school science teacher."
Vanessa rolled her eyes. "In your dreams, Dad."
A/N: I guess we know what Doofenshmirtz high school science teacher dream was a reference to, at least, fans of Phineas and Ferb should know. Also, do you think that Doofenshmirtz' Dinosaur-trust-inator will actually work this time? Also, how do you guys like that Owen, Claire and Perry teamed up? I think they make a good team. By the way, we haven't seen Major Monogram or Carl in a while, but don't worry, they'll be back in the story very soon. In the meantime, please be sure to favorite, follow and review on this story and I'll publish a new chapter soon! HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
