So now we learn, just how will Alan react to seeing the world's first genetically modified dinosaur? And we learn a little more about Ryan and his connection to everyone's favorite family... NOT!
Review replay;
movielover48 - I don't think Griffin would, he doesn't know why Alan is so important to everything on the island.
DragonBreeder123 - And T-Rexes, and Spinosaurus... twice.
Mickol93 - Griffin isn't his sister, not by a long shot.
bryan mccloud - That's why Griffin responded to the resonating chamber, something they'll all learn about first hand.
knight Of Cybertron 1984 - Let's find out.
WolfDragon - I'm planning once Jurassic World 2 comes out, that characters like Dave, Perry, Owen, Claire and so would head to the mainland.
sl3dzax1235 - Awkward... That's how it will turn out.
X I-Rex paddock...
Something didn't feel right to Dr Grant.
Just driving up to the I-Rex paddock alone made both Dr Grant and Ryan feel uneasy, unlike the others who seemed disturbingly calm and untouched by what they were about to see. After running away from all sorts of dinosaurs, Alan could never imagine seeing anything worse than whatever this I-Rex is. And while both followed Claire up to the observing deck, Dave, Owen and Perry both followed close behind.
"You said the I-Rex is a hybrid, right?" remembered Ryan cautiously. "But a hybrid of what?"
"Griffin's base gene is that of a T-Rex, giving him a body structure and design similar to one." explained Claire leading them to the observing deck. "But he also DNA from a large set of different creatures, and not all of them dinosaurs."
"He responded after Dave used the resonating chamber." brought up Dr Grant. "He doesn't have some sort of raptor DNA in him? Does he?"
Huffing in shame, Claire was hoping Dr Grant wouldn't catch on to that. After all, she's the one who allowed raptor DNA added to the I-Rex in the first place.
"Primary Sample P, Perry's DNA." revealed Claire grimly as Dr Grant's face lite up in shock.
"You actually made it part raptor?!" realized Dr Grant in shock. "And from the one raptor who can talk as well!"
"HEY! Don't get all fired up yet, Grant!" stopped Dave as they made it into the observing deck. "Claire added Perry's DNA to the I-Rex as a way to make it part of her family, she had no idea it would allow it to talk, none of us did."
Signing in disgust, Dr Grant turned his attention out into the paddock. While Griffin wasn't the the dinosaur to kill on sight, niether Dr Grant or Ryan were willing to walk right into the same paddock as him. So for their safety, they've made it into the observing deck to view Griffin.
"Griffin? Are you there?" asked Owen through the microphone.
At first, he didn't get a replay. Not a single leaf moved to sound of a low, heart-stopping breath among the undergrowth. Perhaps Griffin was sleeping or working is way into his meal, he is a big eater, big enough to match Rexy and Elizabeth together.
"Try. Call him?" suggested Perry rubbing her snout into the resonating chamber still in Dave's hand.
Carefully holding it in his hands, Dave once again blew into it as Owen kept the microphone on. Yet even this didn't seem to bring Griffin out of the undergrowth...
"Why. Call Griffin. That?!" asked Perry applauded by Dave's language.
"I'm not calling him anything." defended Dave. "I'm just blowing into this thing, you know, like a flute."
But just then, everyone soon caught sight of one set of leaves moving, all of them changing colour from deep green to bone white as it revealed a large and towering shape, Griffin.
Now Dr Grant and Ryan could see clearly just what the worlds first hybrid dinosaur looked like. Griffin defiantly had the body shape of a T-Rex, a large head to power a bone crushing bite, but long, human - like claws dragging on the ground. All over Griffin's body, Dr Grant could see scars and bite marks scattered over him, especially one nasty looking scar where Griffin's sister had tried to snap his neck.
But in truth, both Dr Grant and Ryan felt rather surprised by Griffin, simply because he looked rather 'normal'. Whenever they thought of a hybrid dinosaur, they imagined something rather over the top, maybe even Godzilla like. Yet everything Griffin on the outside didn't seem to even say hybrid, and if niether knew about Griffin being a hybrid, they would have assumed he was just a newly discovered dinosaur species.
"You okay, Griffin?" asked Dave trying to start a conversation. "We heard you roaring from the raptor paddock."
"I thought I heard a raptor." explained Griffin with a little concern. "That new raptor hasn't done anything, has he?"
"No, Dr Grant had Dave used a raptor resonating chamber." revealed Claire.
"Um... Griffin, I presume?" greeted Dr Grant as Griffin lowered his head to Dr Grant.
"Should I know you?" asked Griffin not sure why this old man was here.
"Probably not." admitted Dr Grant.
"Griffin, this is Dr Alan Grant and Ryan Osborn." introduced Owen. "They both specialize in dinosaur behavior and fossils, mainly velociraptors."
"You. Part raptor." added Perry bringing Griffin's raptor DNA.
"I'm rather surprised you're not even trying to scare us." admitted Ryan. "Considering how terrifying your-"
But before Ryan could finish, Griffin instantly bellowed a long and heart shattering roar at Ryan, enough to silence everyone.
"Keep talking, if you want a one way trip to hell." warned Griffin knowing who Ryan was going to bring up.
"You hate her, don't you." knew Dr Grant.
"That's not your business to know, old man!" threatened Griffin scraping his claws together like knives.
"Griffin. Dr Grant was here before Jurassic World was even built." revealed Claire. "He encountered Rexy while Hammond was still alive, he even survived Site B before any of us even arrived. So as much as bringing up your sister makes you angry, keep it under control."
"You know Rexy?" questioned Griffin in shock. "So, are you like her friend, or something?"
"Sort of." admitted Dr Grant remembering his last meeting with Rexy.
Even after all these years, he still hadn't forgotten the very T-Rex that nearly killed him and saved his life. But in honesty, Dr Grant didn't really know if Rexy saw him as a friend... or as a snack.
"From what we've heard, she still alive and kicking." added Ryan.
"Yep, we still have T-Rex... four actually." admitted Dave actually seeing some shock in Dr Grants eyes.
"What?! You mean she-"
"Two, Elise and Parvus." revealed Claire. "She and Grimlock ended up getting quite close."
"Grimlock?" wondered Ryan in confusion.
"Rexy's mate, and the only 'pure T-Rex' on the island." explained Dave. "Long story cut short, he ended up living within the Restricted Zone, we managed to lure him into the paddock, and the two just... got along."
"Would you mind if we... visited them?" asked Dr Grant keen to see what he's just heard.
"Um... sure." agreed Owen.
And with that, everyone soon made their way out of the Observing Deck. But as Griffin began to disappear into the undergrowth again, Claire quickly turned the microphone back on.
"Griffin! Thanks for... not losing your temper." thanked Claire giving Griffin an assuring smile.
With a small nod, Griffin soon made himself comfortable as Claire left, leaving him to rest underneath the tropical sun...
X T-Rex Kingdom...
While meeting Griffin made Dr Grant unnerved, meeting Rexy again was another matter.
Not wanting to risk being eaten, Dr Grant simply looked into Rexy's eyes as she seemed to recognized the man in front of her. Far back however, Dave could see that Ryan seemed a little left out as the others stayed by Dr Grant's side. And as Dave made his way up to Ryan, Claire soon spotted what was going on behind her.
"Intimidating, isn't she?" asked Dave as Grimlock joined Rexy's side with Elise and Parvus chirping underneath their parents feet.
"Dr Grant told me a lot about her when I started working for him." explained Ryan. "He always said no matter how much she made him fearful, she also brought him a feeling of hope, peace, safety."
"Rexy. Tough." commented Perry rubbing her head against Dave's legs.
"Tough enough to take on two hybrids." added Claire joining the three.
But there was one thing that did bother Dave, how did Ryan even meet Dr Grant? It's clear that Ryan is following in Dr Grants footsteps, but surely he didn't just turn up at Dr Grants feet. So how on earth did Ryan get involved in this?
"You sound like you look up to Dr Grant a lot." guessed Dave.
"It's not like I have anyone else to look up to." admitted Ryan. "Everyone I knew didn't even know what 'not' to do around dinosaurs."
"I'm guessing you know the Kirby's then?" figured Claire knowing who Ryan was talking about.
"Yep." admitted Ryan not proud of it.
"What? Who are they?" asked Dave not sure why they matter.
"The Kirby's, Paul and Amanda. Were two people who 'asked' for Dr Grant to take them to Isla Sorna." explained Claire.
"You don't sound too sure about that." noticed Dave.
"Well when I say ask, I really mean, tricked." corrected Claire. "Their son, Eric Kirby, went missing on Isla Sorna eight weeks ago. But they made Dr Grant think they just wanted to fly over the island."
"So I'm guessing Dr Grant wasn't too please when he learn why they wanted to go." guessed Dave understanding why Dr Grant would have been angry.
"Not by a long shot." admitted Claire. "When they landed, Amanda tried to call out for Eric... with a microphone."
"In a jungle full of dinosaurs?!" questioned Dave in shock.
Yeah, Dave himself was no better before he ended up with Perry, he didn't even know what a dinosaur was. But he knows for a fact that if he was anywhere with dangerous animals around, and alone, he would never even consider shouting out for help... especially with a MICROPHONE!
"Oh... that could only end well." admitted Dave sarcastically.
"Yeah, she ended up attracting a spinosaurus when she was calling out." revealed Ryan. "When the spinosaurus attacked, it caused their plane to crash and killed most of their gun men."
"So then how did you end up getting involved then?" wondered Dave still not seeing where Ryan comes into the picture.
"A couple days after they left, I received a call about a rescue being planned." explained Ryan. "I ended up joining them when the others were rescued. And... ended up meeting Dr Grant."
"Grant. Teacher?" asked Perry not sure if Dr Grant was Ryan's teacher.
"Mostly." admitted Ryan. "But sometimes... I just see him as a dad. Just like you see Dave as your dad."
"Well, I was the first person she meet." reminded Dave scratching Perry's neck. "Isn't that right my scaly angel."
"So then, how on earth did Perry end up... getting together with Blue?" asked Ryan curious about Perry's and Blue's relationship.
"Blue was the first raptor Perry ever meet." explained Claire. "And to be honest... Blue didn't really know the word 'boundaries' back then."
"Wai- What did he do?" wondered Ryan not sure why Claire would say that.
"He tried mounting Perry." revealed Dave scratching the back of his head.
"What, as in... oh." realized Ryan.
"I wasn't yet seen as a alpha back then, so when I tried to break them apart, Blue saw me as prey." explained Dave. "Luckily, Perry managed to stop him. She still has a scar close to her right eye where Blue tried to get out."
"Well, they must have made up. Otherwise Helen wouldn't be here." pointed out Ryan.
"Yeah." agreed Dave. "Through both Perry and Blue are very protective of her, especially with Helen's interest in Calamus."
"Interest?" asked Dr Grant as he and the others join them. "So then, has Calamus been aggressive to her?"
"Actually, Helen is the only one Calamus doesn't get aggressive to." admitted Owen. "Patel and Zara both said when the two saw each other, they both seemed... stunned."
Now this was starting to make sense to Dr Grant, if what Owen is saying about Helen and Calamus is true, than it's possible that the two may actually love each other. And if so, than this means Helen could be the key to getting Calamus into the pack.
"Sounds like Helen and Calamus like each other." pointed out Ryan.
"Well, Helen is the one raptor Calamus is actually interested in." admitted Dave much to Perry's concern.
"So then, if we can get them both to get along, than perhaps Calamus will be more accepting to the rest of the pack." suggested Claire.
"NO! No. Get daughter. Involved!" refused Perry stamping her foot down.
To her, pretty much everyone was saying 'Stick your daughter in with a aggressive raptor'. And Dave actually agreeing with the idea didn't reassure her at all, especially sense her dad is allowing a wild raptor with her daughter.
"Perry. You've seen how much Helen has taken an interest to Calamus." pointed out Owen. "She could be the key to solving this problem."
"Helen. My daughter." defended Perry not impressed by what she was hearing. "Not. Animal!"
"An animal? Like you?" questioned Dr Grant. "You are a mutant monster, Perry. A theme park attraction. You might have a mind as complicated as a person, but at the end of the day, you're only here to do the same thing every other dinosaur does... Keeping people pay money to see an unnatural creature."
Enraged, Perry unleashed a blood chilling hiss as she attempted to leap at Dr Grant. But before she could even jump, Dave instantly forced her back as he stood between her and Dr Grant. Dave may not have warm feeling's about Dr Grant, but he won't let either of them cause any more trouble.
"Perry Hanzul! You know better than to attack out of rage." scolded Dave like a firm father. "I know you're offended by what he said, but your here to set an example for your species... and you're doing a crap job at it right now."
"He. Call me MONSTER! MUTANT! UNNATURAL!" cawed Perry with a hurt tone. "Let Me. Show you. What monster DO!"
"STOP!" yelled Dave pushing Perry back. "I never thought I'd say this but... I'm ashamed of you."
Those words were enough to snap Perry's word in two, and hearing Dave of all people say it felt like she had been rejected by her own family. Hurt, shocked, and overwhelmed with disbelief, Perry stepped back as the others could see tears coming down her eyes.
"Who. Are you?" asked Perry before sprinting off away from the others.
Only now did Dave realize the mistake he had made, never once had he said anything like that to Perry. Even though she was acting out of character for herself, seeing his own raptor-like-daughter run off like that, started to make him feel terrible, more so than when Helen and Sam died.
"Dave, I know you're Perry's 'dad figure'... But that was just harsh." admitted Claire being perfectly honest.
"How could a person be harsh when they tell a raptor the tru-"
"TALK. And I'll smash your skull until your brain oozes out." threatened Dave rushing off to reach Perry.
"Um... Dr Grant. I understand you have mixed feeling's about raptors." admitted Claire. "But Perry is far more like us than I think you are willing to believe, and what she and Dave have is no different from your respect for Rexy."
In a way, Dr Grant wanted to say something, but he did see Claire's point. He's never been in Dave's position before, he has never known what raising a raptor like a child feels like, only the feeling of being hunted by them. While his point may have been true, claiming it about all raptor's is going too far even for him.
After all, not all raptor can voice their own opinion like Perry can...
Man... I'm starting to feel as bad as Perry right now. But coming up, Dave takes some advice from someone very unexpected as he tries to catch up to Perry... The very man who discovered raptors...
