Chapter 13

-Birch and Braddock – Main Street-

"Good afternoon, people of the USA! Fox news is here on Jurassic Empire's opening day!" A reporter stood in front of the Innovation center where thousands of people were exiting and entering. The Main Street was bustling with people; the civilians were clamoring in the streets.

This part of Jurassic Empire was still open to the public even though trouble was already brewing in the control room.

Innovation Center – Underground Garage

"Ok Templar Sigma group A to E, look alive boys!" Juhani said as he swung his rifle behind his back, he took two grenades from the weapon shelves as he turned around and looked at the massive garage in front of him.

The garage was where the employee vehicles were parked. A lot of the vehicles were the Mercedes brand, all twenty-five of his men occupied two Sprinter class vehicles, designed to hold a couple of men. Juhani then proceeded to his assigned vehicle, a Mercedes G-Klasse 4x4, a good car for this type of mission.

"All right boys, the mission is clear. Kill Desmond, and if you happen to see an old man hanging around with him, kill him too," he looked at the tracker watch on his left wrist, the small device beeped once and it showed him where the dinosaur was currently. "The old man isn't an ordinary one, he is an Assassin," he added and started his car.

-Control Room-

Maya watched the security camera, the Main Street was crowded, the Dino-Disney Land was running loudly, and the Mosasaurus lagoon was now operating for the tenth time. The whole park was alive and the people were unaware of the danger that was happening.

"Um...is the communication good, I mean, did anyone contact the US Navy, cruise ships, or rescue ships?"

Violet glanced at her, "No, the Emergency Broadcast is still down...and I'm getting worried."

"Oh no, does that mean no one can get in and no one can hear our calls for help if all the dinosaurs go on a rampage?" Maya's voice rang in panic as Violet looked at her in annoyance, her panicking voice had disturbed her.

"No. Now stop fidgeting, you're making Melanie and others nervous." What Maya said was completely ridiculous, how could all the dinosaurs suddenly go rampant, it would be completely improbable. Maya calmed herself down, her coworker was correct, nothing good will come if she panicked. But she was very worried; the Visitors/Guest count was at 500,000, almost half a million. It would be good if ships would arrive, but with the current headcount it will take at least 8-10 hours before everyone on the island was evacuated.

She glanced at the screen and saw Juhani driving a car with his men in toe; they were all calm and collective. They would hunt the dinosaur down quickly. However a sudden rush of pity hit her, the dinosaur was new and it was raised on an isolated paddock, Desmond would panic and start attacking them; but if she was there, if she could tame it maybe they could kill or even possible recaptured it without shedding too much bloodshed.

A decision formed in her mind and even though she hated it she could at least try. She walked away from Violet, and like as silent as a cat, exited the Control Room.

Jurassic World's Old Control Room – Jurassic Empire

The computers inside hummed ominously, the large overhead screen was displaying the whole island and a single red blinking dot. The system was also tracking the dinosaurs and Erudito, watching the event unfold before his eyes, happily hummed a Christmas tune.

He stopped humming as one of the screens caught something leaving the garage underneath the Innovation Center. It was Maya and she was riding a Mercedes GLE Coup which she obviously stole from a park employee.

"Hehe…well, well, well, well, the damsel in distress has finally entered my game board," Erudito chuckled with critical enthusiasm. He couldn't tell if the woman's decision to follow them was stupid or brilliant. Either way, he didn't care, he was happy that there was another player in his game.

"Now let's make this interesting, shall we?"

A small beep echoed and a notification was displayed on the overhead screen.

LOCAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: SHUTTING DOWN

-Somewhere within the restricted area-

William Miles coughed harshly, his throat felt drier than the Kalahari desert. He slowly opened his eyes and felt the rough earth beneath his left cheek; he fell asleep but he didn't remember how he'd gotten where he was.

He tried to move a finger; he felt stiff as he moved his legs, his back, and his limbs. The effect had worn off, he was all good now, but he still felt a bit stiff. It was alright for him, though, at least he could move.

"Where am I-AAH!" William yelped in shock as he looked up. Desmond, the Dinosaur, was looking down on him, its violet eyes frightened his heart as the Master Assassin crawled back and hit his back on a tree.

The dinosaur was huge, frightening, and deadly; he wanted to run, but he felt his legs were too weak for him to sprint, functional only enough to walk, but that wouldn't suffice if he wants to outrun the creature before him. He stared at the thing cautiously.

But the dinosaur lowered its head to him and let out a slow sad moan. This puzzled William and made him take a step towards the creature, the dinosaur looked at him and then the Master Assassin saw that its eyes were not of a predatory one, they were soft like he was recognizing him.

"Desmond?" William asked wearily, although it was stupid for him to expect him to hope for a reply.

"Da-ad…"

William froze, his ears picked up those words, words that shouldn't come from an extinct being, William's eyes widened, and tears began to flow out. There was no mistake, he heard it—him say it. He heard Desmond calling out to him.

"Desmond…oh god," he said as he charged and held the dinosaur's snout in his arms, even though he couldn't hug his whole head, even though he mightn't hear him, he wanted to tell him how he was sorry for all the bad things that he had done to him. He wanted to scream and say sorry a hundred times, but he knew it would never reach him, he was already a dinosaur.

"Desmond…my son," he muttered, his head brushed against the rough surface of the creatures skin. The dinosaur only rumbled as it stayed in that position, letting the man hug him for a while.

Suddenly William heard a rumbling sound, it wasn't a dinosaur, but of a vehicle, and it was many. It was surely them, Juhani and his goons, and they come to kill Desmond.

"That's them we must escape," he quickly stepped back as he tried to run, but he was still weak. The dinosaur then bellowed and took him by his back using his snout before he hoisted him up on a tree. The Master Assassin was confused at what he had done, before he realized what he was planning to do.

"No, you can't defeat them-" the dinosaur lets out a challenging roar as it turned back and charged at the oncoming hunters. William stared after him in defeat, he had to help him, his son turned dinosaur could be killed, he wanted to be with him till the end. He quickly crawled down the tree and immediately ran, albite shakily and rather slowly, trying to catch up with him.

The car thud as it passed through a pothole, Juhani glanced at the tracker watch on his right wrist, the red beeping was getting louder and louder, which meant he and his men were nearing the dinosaur. He slammed on the brake, skidding to stop.

The two cars following him also stop and the Templar Master signaled them both to go out. The dinosaur was only several meters away from them. He got out and readied his rifle.

"Templars A and B follow me…Templar's C – D trail behind us," he commanded through the earpiece radio that he was wearing on his right ear. His men slowly walked toward the dinosaur.

Twenty minutes had passed and there was still nothing; the beeping, however, was now loud and clear. They were very near and yet they couldn't see it. They'd reached a small stream and just as he stepped into the water, the beeping became one long loud sound.

He had reached the dinosaur; the tracker had told him that. He looked around, puzzled, and stopped. There was a rock beside him, its surface was smeared by blood, the blood was still fresh and then he saw something on the ground beside it.

He kneeled down and took the thing on the ground and was startled. It was a flesh of Desmond the Dinosaur, he could still see the arteries, veins, and muscles of the massive dinosaur, but there was something that surprises him. A round device was sticking on the flesh; it was beeping and emitting light. It was the tracker.

"Shit…he lured us," he cursed under his breath as he contacted the control room, "Violet, Desmond fucking lured us here, can you see it?"

The woman on the other end answered, "Yes. How the hell can it do-"

Her sentence, however, was cut, static sounds came in which confused the man.

"Violet, do you copy? Violet-" his ears caught something, a sharp sound of breaking twigs. He darted his eyes and pointed his rifle to a nearby tree. Eyes sharpening, the dinosaur could be there hiding, as he looked through the scope of his weapon.

His men were also in a firing position, ready to shoot and end the dinosaur's life.

"Desmond wait!" A familiar voice echoed within the forest, making Juhani lower his stance, he watched the Master Assassin rush out of a bushes.

William was following the dinosaur but because of his weak legs, he couldn't run fast, he eventually heard the sound of a stream which he followed thinking that Desmond headed towards the source of water. To his disappointment, he landed right in front of Juhani and his goons. He cursed his rotten luck.

"Well, well, well…William, never though you would still be alive and kicking," Juhani smiled, seeing his prey in a weakened state.

The Master Assassin chuckled without amusement, "As for you, I'm surprised you still haven't changed your pants after that attack."

The two faced each other for a second before they all felt a the earth tremble, William staggered on the ground, he looked behind him and was stunned. The tree behind him, its whole trunk, suddenly move, followed by its leaves and roots, it then slowly changed to something terrifying.

Desmond growled in anger as he looked down on the Templar Sigma before he roared.

"It can camouflage!"

"Light him up!"

"Wait I didn't tell you to fire!" Juhani shouted at them to not fire but it was too late, his men opened fire and all of the bullets hit and pierced the skin of the dinosaur. Desmond felt the pain in his body as he spun around and threw his three-bladed tail in the air.

Juhani saw the incoming tail and tried to avoid it, but it was too quick, he felt the whole length of the tail hit his abdomen and push him into the air. He his back collided with the trunk of the tree before hitting his head on the ground below, letting out a pained yelp.

The Templar Sigma fired and fired, but the dinosaur kept swinging its tail. It cut the 5 member group A throwing blood on the others who squeal in fright. The dinosaur then charged at them.

It opened its mouth and bit two Templar Sigmas. His prey screamed for mercy, but he only chewed them both up before he swung his tail eliminating another group of Templar Sigma.

The remaining groups C, D, and E kept on firing, but the dinosaur slowly killed them one by one until there are only six of them left.

"We have to move! Retreat! Retreat!"

"We have to get Sir Berg!"

"Fuck him! Let's leave him!" The surviving group then went inside their Mercedes Sprinter. They eventually took off, but Desmond chased after them. William watched in horror as everything that Desmond was doing. It was all too brutal and animalistic for him.

He saw Desmond chasing after the car and he quickly ran towards him. He ignored his weak legs, he gave chase to the rampaging Desmond and for the first time in his life, he had a naïve hope, the hope of saving his son turned dinosaur from his animalistic characteristic.

"Where the hell is it?" A templar Sigma shouted inside the car, the driver glanced to his rear view mirror and noticed that the dinosaur was no longer following them.

"He's gone… He's gone!" They rejoiced as they took a turn on a fork in the road, they were running parallel to the huge perimeter fence that separated the restricted area to the main park, "He's gone! He's gone-"

But their moment was short lived. Desmond suddenly jumped out of the forest beside the van and scooped up the vehicle with his teeth. Desmond tightened its huge mouth at the van's width, making the Templar Sigma scream in fright.

The dinosaur then slowly lifted the vehicle up, he shook it rapidly, making the occupant fly around the vehicle some of them were thrown outside only to snag on the electric fence, electrocuted on the process.

Desmond observes the electrified people, sizzling up from the huge electricity. He looked at the fence, its sheer height towered over him, before he threw the whole van towards it. The vehicle hit the fence which then buckled and bent, since it wasn't designed to handle such weight.

The occupants of the car were electrocuted before the whole van exploded as the electricity traveled to the gas tank. The explosion shook the whole Little Shay's Tundra, as two of the many towers that support the wiring of the fence collapsed, creating a huge gaping hole that lead to the main amusement park.

Desmond roared in triumph, he had successfully killed a group of Templars. Now it looked in front towards the main park. Its eyes were now that of a hungry predator.

Maya'a eyes darted to her right and saw a huge fireball puffing up in the air. She wasn't sure, but the explosion definitely came from a car. Anxiety hit her again as she sped up the stolen car before she let out a short scream and pressed hard on the brakes.

"Juhani!" she took off from her car and ran to the front where Juhani was limping badly. She almost hit him earlier, the man was all dirty, his face has several scars and open wounds, signs that he was thrown and hit by something hard.

"Are you all right? Are you hurt!?"

"Yes…control room…now. We must get to Alan," he huffed, his whole body was in pain, his muscles were giving in making him limp and forced him to slow his pace. Maya eventually carried him by his arm and put him on the back seat of her car. She was about to go back to the driver's seat when she looked up and noticed the light signals on the top of the tower that supported the Electric Fence.

It was no longer lighting, which could only mean one thing. The fence was off.

Alan's hand shook, dropping a glass filled with wine, it shattered on the floor as the horrifying scene played at the screen. Laetitia grumbled, her hands clenched and ripped off a couple of papers that Henry Wu gave to her earlier.

Henry also watched in fright as the bad event unfolded before him. The large overhead screen had notified everyone that the perimeter fence that separated the park from the restricted area has been shut down indefinitely. Any dinosaur in the place could now freely roam to the main amusement park.

This would be dangerous, and a lot of people might get hurt.

"It removed its implant…clever Desmond," the scientist whispered, but Alan reacted negatively.

"Clever? I didn't ask you to build a clever dinosaur!"

"For once Alan…will you shut the fuck up!" Laetitia roared back at him as she slam her fist on Melanie's table, making the girl wince in shock. The woman gritted her teeth. A lot of media people are there, they were reporting live about the park's opening. Now that a dinosaur was on the loose and perimeter fence was down, she had no choice but to create a drastic decision.

"Melanie, Violet…contact all the operators of the attraction on the north of this park. Tell them to cease all activities; the whole Northern part of Jurassic Empire must be closed down. This is Real World: Phase One, shut down, bring everyone in immediately," She said bitterly as Alan looked at her, eyes blazing in fury. He didn't like her decision.

"Laetitia do you know what are you doing?"

"Saving the people, Alan, these people who can tell how great this park is. If we save them all, they could just go back and visit this park again."

Henry glanced at her and he saw how bitter her face was, it was a risky decision but a good one. Saving the lives of everyone was now their top priority, however killing or recapturing the dinosaur was also a priority. The creature could still kill or even destroy the park.

"Fine then," Alan beamed on as he slumped down in defeat, "guess I'll just have to kill it myself eh?" Henry Wu stared at him, puzzled to what he said. A smile formed on Alan's face as the CEO stood up and walk out of the room. Laetitia didn't hear him, she was entirely focused on the problem, and the scientist didn't plan to disturb her since she might shout at him.

He only moved back to the corner of the room and observed the whole scenario.

-Little Shay's Tundra-

"Aw come on! We waited for at least an hour and shit!"

"Really dude, are you serious?"

"I want to talk to your supervisor."

A crowd of angry, disappointed people were clamoring at the Gyrosphere station. The attraction was closed down after ten Abstergo Security Forces arrived and took over the operation.

"We're sorry everyone, we want all of you to proceed to Main Street, the whole north part of the amusement park is closed," an Abstergo Security man said as the people shouted in frustration.

"Why is there a dinosaur on the loose again?"

"Oh no, a dinosaur is loose?"

"Oh gosh, this is awful!"

The crowd murmured and started shouting in demand; they all wanted to know if a large animal was on the loose.

"No there is no dinosaur on the loose! We got it under control! Now please proceed to the Monorail station immediately."

From Lazy Cretaceous Cruise to the busy Templar's Valley of Dreams and up to the Dino Disney Jr. and the Aviary, the crowds were all disappointed and frustrated as every attraction of the Jurassic Empire in the north began to close down.

Some even suspect that a dinosaur was on the loose, but the forces dismissed it, the Abstergo Security all said that they put it under control, but the truth was they too didn't know why they were closing the attraction down.

Desmond's escape was put in secret.

-Somewhere within the Restricted Area-

Maya drove and drove as she glanced at her rearview mirror and observed Juhani who was breathing hard, his hands clasped on the injured part of his chest, trying to subdue the pain in his abdomen.

"We're almost near to the gate, just calm down ok," she said in an assuring manner as the Templar Master glanced up to the sky, his eyes screamed in pain as he tried to move and looked out to the window. He heard something in the sky and he was familiar with what it was.

"Maya…stop the car."

"Huh, why? I must take you to the infirmary."

"A helicopter just flew above us…"

"What?" She pressed the brake hard making Juhani hit the back of her seat, making him groan in pain after his already injured head hit the back of her head rest. Maya was silent at first and then eventually her ears picked up a sound of a helicopter's rotor blades; she got off the car and looked up.

A helicopter flew above her and it was painted in green, white and red. It also possessed a Jurassic Empire logo. The helicopter was a property of Abstergo and InGen.

"Where are they flying?" she asked as Juhani stood beside her.

"Looks like they're heading to the Aviary part…we must go to the control room. Pronto!"Juhani said as he opened the driver seat of the car, Maya was surprised to his sudden burst of energy, but she noticed his eyes were worried and stern.

"Why are you worried?"

"Because I am the only one who can fly that thing, my Plan B was to use the Hotel's chopper to air raid the dinosaur!" Maya was shocked to hear what he said. She hadn't imagined that he was planning something so devastating, but she was puzzled about the chopper.

"Then who's flying it right now?" she asked as she opened the door of the car and took a first aid kit from the back.

"I don't know probably some idiot man of mine, that Alan asked-ouch!" The man yelped as the car jerked, Maya was now beginning to put more gauze on his injured chest. Since the man wanted to go to the control room and skip the infirmary, she must tend to his wounds.

Luckily she knew a lot of first aid procedures and Juhani was gladdened at her, because she decided to follow him. He would be dead by now if it weren't for her.
