Ryan was driving the pick up, Scott and Bruce were inside while Sawyer, Dawson, and Seth rode in the back; Dawson looked in through the back window, "Ryan? Ben said you knew the way, have you been here before?"

Ryan nodded, "yes, but it was a long time a go, lot's of things have changed since then"

"Are you sure he is the Ryan you know? He does seem to know where he's going" he said to Seth who nodded, "I'm positive, they did something to him, to his memory but I'm sure, that's my friend Ryan, and I'm sure he's beginning to remember, he wouldn't be here if he didn't"

The truck left the tree covered jungle and entered a flat and open space, "What the hell, would you look at that!" Sawyer said as he stood up and the truck came to a stop, everyone got off of the truck and stared amazed.

On the other side of a clearing they could see a reptile face over the trees walking straight towards them, the trees on the edge of the clearing began to bend as a gigantic lizard with a long neck stepped out of the jungle and on to the fine grass.

"Well somebody pinch me" Sawyer said amazed, Seth turned around, "Look over there!" a couple of triceratops were grazing on the soft grass, "And me without my camera!" Dawson said as he got up on to the pick up to get a better look at the animals.

"Ryan, what is this place?" Bruce said as he looked at Ryan who seemed as amazed as the rest of them, "The whole island was home to an Research initiative; there are laboratories all over the island, this place, as Ben said is called the Fossil, here Dinosaurs were cloned using DNA from the blood found inside several mosquitoes that were caught in amber during the Jurassic period.

"Yes, well fascinating as it is, we need to hurry, we have to find that metallic plate and take it back to Ben if we ever want to get out of here" Scott said as he signaled everyone to get back on the truck.

---------------------------------------------

An hour had passed and they were still moving slowly on the unused dirt road, "Are we almost there?" Sawyer said impatiently, "no wonder bug eyes back there wanted s to do this, this is so boring it's almost lethal; And why are we going on this truck, the road is old, We'd go faster if we walked"

"We need the truck, see this" Ryan pointed at a button next to the steering wheel, "it opens the gate to the laboratory"

"So we'd have to jump over a fence, so what? Sawyer said with his odd strange of humor, "An electric fence, with enough voltage to scare those lizards we saw back there"

"So this place still has electricity?" Scott said calmly, "I don't know, it's been abandoned for years; but do any of you want to grab the fence and see if it's still working?"

Everyone was silent and Ryan nodded, "I thought so"

After a few minutes they came on to an iron fence, Ryan pressed the button and the fence slowly begun to open, they drove in and after a curve they finally saw the Laboratory, "Looks like we're here" Sawyer said as he took out his gun, "They gave us these for a reason" he said as he turned the safety off.

"We'll do this as quickly as possible, Ryan! Do you know where the library is?" Ryan nodded, "I think so, I haven't been here in a long time but I think I remember"

"Fine, then we won't have to split up, "Sawyer! I want you, and Dawson to wait here and keep the motor running, we'll be back as soon as possible" Scott reached for the door and it opened with the simple push of his hand.

"Ok, Ryan lead the way" they entered what appeared to be a lobby, it was a huge room with worn out furniture, in the middle were the fossilized bones f a tyrannosaurus rex set up in a threatening and majestic position. They walked up a staircase and on to a long hallway full of doors, they walked to the end of the corridor and turned left.

Now they were standing in front of a pair of thick wooden doors, "This is it!" Ryan said as he opened the door, inside was a typical library, Brownish light filtered through the windows, the wood paneled room was dark and dusty, Scott walked by one of the bookshelves and noticed that all books were about genetics, paleontology or zoology.

"Hey guys! I think I found it!" Bruce shouted as he wiped the dust off a glass case, inside he could see a small octagon shaped metal plate with the logo of the Fossil research center engraved on one side.

Seth walked through the rows of bookshelves when he suddenly saw a book title that caught his eye, "The D.H.A.R.M.A. Initiative" he red, he took out the book and begun to look through it's pages, without noticing a small yellow eye looking at him through the hole where he had taken the book out, he continued turning the pages as he walked towards Scott and the others who were busy trying to break the crystal case which unfortunately for them was bulletproof and screwed to the ground, "We need to find the key!" Scott said when he saw that the bullet he had fired didn't break the glass.

"Bruce! Check on that desk, I'll check on this one" Scott said pointing at two desks on opposite sides of the library, "It's not here!" Ryan said stopping them from what they were doing, "I just remembered, there's an office on the third floor, it belonged to the man in charge of this project, that's where the key is!"

Suddenly they heard a crashing sound coming from behind one of the bookshelves then everything became silent, a globe rolled out of the shadows and stopped at Scott's feet, suddenly they heard a sharp hissing sound and a thud as a raptor jumped up on to a table, Scott quickly withdrew his handgun and aimed it at the raptor, when he saw two more of them walking from out of the shadows on the far end of the library, "Walk away slowly" Scott whispered to the others who did as he said, suddenly one of the raptors jumped at them, "Run!" Scott yelled as they all exited the library, they turned on the corridor as the Raptors were about to reach them, the beasts long claws slipped on the polished floors and slid past the corridor as they tried to turn, crashing on to each other.

Seth opened one of the doors on the hallway and he and Bruce entered and quickly shut the door.

--------------------------------------

Scott and Ryan quickly ran down the stairs but the raptors jumped, landing on the first floor before Scott and Ryan, "Back up! Get back up!" Scott yelled at Ryan who was running behind him, "You go look for the key! I'll take care of them!" He took out his gun and began shooting at the Raptors but they were to fast for him to hit.

----------------------------------------

Sawyer was leaning on the pick up and Dawson was sitting on the roof when they suddenly heard a crashing sound, yells and a few gunshots, "Something's wrong" Sawyer said as he took out his gun and headed for the door but before he could open it a Raptor crashed on to it and rolled down the stairs and crashed on the ground by the pick up, "What the He…?" The raptor quickly got up and jumped at Sawyer who dodged it just as another raptor was going to attack him from behind, Sawyer quickly ran back towards the pick up where Dawson was already shooting at the raptors but kept missing, suddenly one of the raptors jumped over Sawyer, stabbing him with the longest of it's talons, it prepared to take a bite when a bullet hit it on the head and it fell to the ground, Sawyer forced himself in to the truck followed by Dawson.

The second Raptor walked slowly toward them and jumped on to the hood of the truck, "put on your seatbelt kid!" Sawyer said as he suddenly accelerated on to full speed and then pressed down on the break a few feet away from the electric fence, sending the raptor flying on to the fence where it was shocked before it hit the ground and began getting up, "Good bye Barney!" Sawyer yelled as he accelerated the truck again pinning the raptor between the truck and the fence, shocking him to death.

---------------------------------

Scott was shooting at the remaining Raptor with out any luck, the beast was to fast for him to aim at it, suddenly he ran out of bullets and the creature seemed to realize that the time to doge was over and his turn to attack had just begun, Scott turned around to run back up the stairs but tripped as he was about to, he turned around in time to see the beast jumping straight over him when all of a sudden a ruby red beam of light shot out of his eyes, smashing the beast on to the ceiling, crushing it there for several seconds then as quick as the beam appeared it banished again, leaving Scott barely enough time to dodge the dead animal falling straight at him.

"What happened?" Dawson said as he and Sawyer entered the room, "We thought we saw some sort of flash"

"It…it was nothing, did you get the other two?" Sawyer nodded as he limped on to the stairs and sat down, to get a better look at where the Raptor had stabbed his back, "Where are the others?" Dawson said as he helped Scott get up.

------------------------------------

Seth and Bruce shut the door quickly as they entered the room, Bruce turned around as Seth locked the door, "What is this place?" Bruce said as he walked through the room.

"It's some sort of Hatchery" Seth joined Bruce in the center of the room, all over the room were tables with eggs the size of an ostrich's stored in containers, "It looks like they're in some sort of cryogenic state" Bruce said as he walked to a computer and turned it on, and a red sign appeared on the screen.

"1 message pending"

Bruce pressed enter and a video started playing on the screen.

"Hello! Is this thing on? Good it is; if you're seeing this, I'm probably dead now, the hostiles have attacked, and fried most of the containment cells, the specimens have escaped and running loose, the main containment wall still stands strong and should keep them from reaching the rest of the island but I'm afraid that all the staff has been cornered and trapped in to the laboratory, this may be our last hours here, hence I am going to reveal a deep secret unbeknownst by most of the members of the DHARMA Initiative and the outside world, only the heads of each department have this information but were forced in to secrecy by the Degroots; The DHARMA Initiative has been partly successful in achieving it's purpose but not as it was planned for the numbers to the Valenzzetti equation HAVE been changed but for the worse, of course most of the scientists here don't know this for they only know what they need to know on they're field, but those of us who do have been forced in to secrecy for the Degroots do not want the Hanso foundation to know of their failure and to stop their funding"

Seth walked away from the screen while Bruce was still paying close attention to what the man was saying, Seth walked to one of the tables and looked at one of the containers, he pressed a couple of buttons and the container suddenly opened, Seth looked back to see if Bruce had noticed what had happened but Bruce was still paying close attention to the video, Seth took the egg out of the container and quickly placed it inside his backpack next to the book he had taken from the library.

"We should go look for the others, they could be in trouble!" Bruce turned around and started to walk towards the door and Seth followed, once in the hallway they met with Scott, Dawson and Sawyer who had wrapped a piece of cloth around his chest, "Where's Ryan?" Seth asked looking for his friend.

"Here I am" Ryan walked down the stairs, a golden key in his hand, "Found it!" he tossed it over to Scott who caught it and quickly walked back towards the library, he opened the glass case and took out the metal plate, "That? We risked our lives for a fancy coaster?"

The sun was beginning to fall and the sky was turning dark as a storm cloud begun to form above them, "We better hurry, weather's looking bad and who knows what kind of nocturnal creatures live here!" Scott said as he and the others got on the Pick up and began to drive away as fast as possible.

After a few minutes darkness fell over them, "Ryan? Do you know why Ben wants this so bad?" Scott handed the Plate to Ryan who shook his head, "I'm afraid not, he never mentioned his plans to me, but it doesn't seem to be anything more than an old DHARMA souvenir" he said as he turned it around in his hand.

"DHARMA?" Sawyer said as he tried sitting up but then lied down with pain, "That was the name of the research initiative that used to be here on the island" Seth said remembering what he had red on the book.

"Baaaaaam!"

"What was that?" Dawson turned on a flashlight and illuminated the place where the sound was coming from.

"Baaaaaaam!"

"Wait! Listen!" Scott hushed them so they could try to make out the sound.

"Baaaaaaaam!"

"Are those…?"

"Baaaaaaaaam!"

"Footsteps!"

"Baaaaaaaaam!"

Suddenly the trees to their right began to shake as a Giant head appeared above them, "is that what I think it is?"

"Yes…"

"T-Rex!" Dawson Screamed as Ryan stepped on the gas, "Hurry! it's coming after us!" Bruce took out his gun and begun shooting at the giant beast, the road started getting slippery as dirt turned to mud when a sudden down pour reached them.

Bruce continued shooting at the reptile behind them, "Stop that! You'll only get it angrier!" Sawyer forced Bruce to put the gun down, The tyrannosaurus rex leaned down as it tried to engulf them but missed the truck only by a couple of feet, "Quick! We'll loose it in the jungle!" Scott pointed to the rows of trees to their right, "But we'll loose the road!"

"Better than loosing our lives!" Sawyer shouted from the back as Ryan turned, barely missing the giant's pointy teeth; they drove rapidly, loosing the beast as it was slowed down, unable to run through the clustered trees.

The truck bounced on the uneven terrain as they fell rapidly down hill, they came to a sudden stop when Ryan was unable to evade a tree on their path, "Is everybody ok back there?" Scott said as he looked out the rear window, "Sure capt'n just dandy!" Sawyer said sarcastically.

Ryan tried starting the engine but had no luck, "I'm afraid we're stuck! We're going to have to go the rest of the way on foot"

"Are you crazy? Didn't you see Godzilla back there?" Sawyer said as he slowly got off the truck to join everyone else, who had already gotten off, "We have no choice, but it is too dangerous for us to travel at night, especially in this weather"

"So what do we do now?" Seth said as he grabbed his back pack from the pick up, "I saw a couple of sheets in the truck, we can use them to form a tent" Ryan took out the sheets and begun hanging them to protect them from the rain.

"What if the T-Rex finds us?" Dawson helped Ryan make the refuge, "Let's just pray he doesn't" Scott said as he looked the way they had come from.
