Summary: The Indominus Rex had a parent, someone who take care and interacted with her. But after she was torn apart from him, she was placed in solitude. Years later, she sees an opportunity to escape and takes it, beginning her search.
The Raptor Squad was confused. They couldn't find Alistair, Reggie, or Nario at the Indominus Empire. The gates were closed and usually after a few loud barks to get Reggie's attention, the gates would open. They found a recent scent trail and decided to follow it to the shore. As they neared, they also smelled the scent of blood and flesh. But it wasn't just any blood and flesh. It was Nario's.
They came upon the Doberman's corpse. Some scavengers had already gathered around and were picking at the dead dog's meat. The raptors shooed the Pterosaurs away. The Dimorphodons and the Pteranodons attempted to attack to defend their meal but the raptors landed some bites and slashes that successfully got them to leave.
'Nario is dead. Alistair is gone. Reggie is gone,' Blue located some blood splatters not too far away from the corpse and sniffed it. 'Alistair is hurt. Where is Alistair? Where is Reggie?'
"Blue!" Echo called. "There are several dead humans!"
Humans. The raptors were not fond of most of them. They kept them trapped in their paddock. They had wanted them to kill Reggie, who only wanted to reunite with her pack. The rest of the raptors wandered over to the human corpses. These humans had weapons on them. They were the ones responsible for Nario's death. They were the ones responsible for Alistair and Reggie's disappearance.
The scent trail led to the docks but the raptors knew they couldn't swim that far. They were angry at the humans. The humans had killed one of their packmates and taken their alphas.

Alistair woke up in a cell. "Where am I?"
"Do you really expect the bad guys to tell you?" Erik was smoking a cigarette and leaning against a column. "As much as I wanted to torture you, we need you alive to force the Indominus Rex to cooperate,"
"You!" Alistair attempted to stand up only to fall back down.
"I removed your prosthetic leg," Erik waved the fake limb around. "Knowing your brother, I knew that it was no ordinary prosthetic. And what did I find? The foot's a taser and there are several hidden compartments. A phone, a gun, and a multitool. Heh, I'm sure if I weren't around then the idiots here wouldn't have bothered taking your prosthetic and you would've escaped,"
"Ah, good to see you awake Mr. Rei," Mills greeted as he approached the cell.
"What do you intend to do with my daughter?" Alistair demanded.
"We need her DNA to create an improved version of a new specimen," Mills informed.
"You're creating a new dinosaur," Alistair deduced. "Wait, is Hoskins in on it too? He always wanted the raptors to be used for militaristic purposes,"
'Hoskins?' Mills noted. 'Perhaps he could be used to help retrieve the raptors, or at least that blue one Henry mentioned,'
"Hey Mills," Erik's lips pulled upwards into an evil grin. "Think we could have Wu create some kind of serum that regrows limbs? Pretty sure that'd make loads of money. We have a test subject right here,"

The Indoraptor lay curled up in his cage, as far away from the bars as possible. He hated his life. The humans would poke and prod at him with multiple instruments. They would shock him with electric cattle prods. He especially hated sedatives. They dulled his senses and even knocked him unconscious. If he were unconscious, he'd be vulnerable.
He could smell two newcomers. One was a male human and the other was a large female dinosaur. He wasn't sure what dinosaur the female was, but then again, he never interacted with other dinosaurs. He knew there were other Indoraptors before him, but they had all died. Their bodies were too weak.
He could hear the male humans' cries and screams followed by another human's laughter. It was strange. All of the humans he had encountered all had the same goal and all worked together. Was the human in pain not with them? Were there really humans that were suffering just as he was?
He didn't feel pity towards the human or the female dinosaur. He just simply didn't feel anger towards them. He didn't feel hatred towards them. When he finally breaks out of his cell, he'll kill everyone except those two.

Reggie hated how she could hear her daddy's screams but could do nothing about it. She covered her head and tried to drown out the noise, but Alistair's screams could pierce through her hands. She wanted to kill all of the humans that were responsible for their capture, Daddy's pain, and Nario's death. But the man that had murdered Nario was a reminder that Alistair could easily be killed if she didn't obey their commands.
She could smell something else in the sub-basement. It wasn't a human. It was a dinosaur, but she couldn't pinpoint the exact scent. The scent reminded her of the Raptor Squad, but it didn't smell exactly like them. The scent faintly reminded her of…Regis.
She frantically shook her head. 'I can't worry about who the other dinosaur is. I need to focus on trying to save Daddy and get out of here!'

Alistair was in so much pain. He couldn't believe that Wu would agree to go with Erik's suggestion. From the bits and pieces of information he could gather, Wu was waiting for the new Indoraptor eggs to hatch. The limb re-growing serum would focus more on non-prehistoric DNA such as spiders who could regrow missing legs, sea cucumbers whose severed pieces could become new sea cucumbers, and lizards that could regrow their tails.
It was a miracle that Alistair was still alive. Then again, Wu probably didn't want to do anything too life threatening at the moment since he was the only test subject.
'Of all the people that had to team up with them,' Alistair groaned. 'It had to be that bastard who betrayed the Desert Kingdom,'
He hated himself. He had froze up back on the shore, overcome with fear. If he hadn't frozen up, then maybe Nario would still be alive.
Erik made that suggestion because he's an evil bastard. Why was he a guard? After he betrayed the Desert Kingdom, he decided to lay low.
The limb re-growing serum would be beneficial because it would provide more funding for Wu to clone more dinosaurs and make more hybrids. Also it could play a stepping stone towards regeneration imbedded in a subject's DNA.
