Spells and Louds
Chapter 303: Adelaide Chang
(This takes place on May 11, before they prepared Peter Sharp's birthday. So, let's rewind and enjoy.)
(Casagrande Apartment building. Great Lake City.)
Adelaide and her friends have just gotten out of school and are headed back to their homes to get their respectful gifts and formal wear.
And they all meet up in front of the apartment where the Chang's also reside. Adelaide comes out of the apartment with her big sister Sid.
"You ready for this sis?" asked Sid.
"Sure am! This is the first time we're gonna let some other people come to the place! I'm so excited!" said Adelaide. She is dressed in a brown blouse with the image of dinosaur teeth, skirt colored in dark blue with dino feet and a jacket with dinosaur eyes on and she has a hat with the image of a Velociraptor.
"Okay then. Let's get going!" said Sid. They both head out of the apartment and then they see Ronnie Anne with CJ and Carl.
"Hey guys, take a good look at that" Ronnie Anne points to the many kids waiting.
"Wow! Looks like all my classmates came!" said Adelaide. They all greet her a happy birthday, which made Adelaide happy. She was glad she was turning seven today.
"Yeah, now all we gotta do is wait for some transportation and we'll be on our way to your party" said Stanley Chang.
"Are you sure we can't come with them?" asked CJ.
"Yeah! I wanna see how tough and menacing they look!" said Carl.
"Sorry CJ, but this is a Chang family and schoolmates and friend's thing. Plus, Martin McKenzie is putting the limit and rules on who gets to come and visit and who doesn't and clearly Carl is one of them" said Ronnie Anne.
"Aww come on! Why?!" asked Carl.
"Oh yeah, the time when you tried to sneak to see the Komodo dragon. That's the reason why. Maybe next time I can come to the island with dinosaurs" said CJ.
Sid chuckles. "Sure, we'll have to ask the boss first, and when I mean boss I don't mean my mom."
"She's right" Becca comes out of the crowd of kids. "I just keep an eye on all the dino's there, it's FutureTech that runs the whole island and funds it."
"Dang it!" said Carl.
"Ronnie Anne! Carl! CJ! Come back inside! It's time for our favorite Telenovela!" said Tia Frida.
"Yeah! Hurry up guys!" yelled Carlota.
Ronnie Anne, CJ and Carl head back in. "See you guys when you get back!" said Ronnie Anne, she then closes the door of the apartment.
Then they spot their transport, a Hercules Transport escorted by Jet Tengu that morph into Mecha Tengu.
All the kids awe at the sight of their ride. The Tengu's open to reveal Jack Cyber and Neil.
"This is so cool to fly in! Though figuring out how it works is complicated" said Neil.
"That's what makes the Tengu unique than any air superiority jet" replied Jack Cyber.
Then the front of the Hercules opens and they see Lincoln and Linka standing. Hey kids, you all ready to go and see some dinosaurs?!"
"Yeah!" they all cheered.
"Now everyone please go into a single file and do not trip anyone. There's enough seats for all of you" said Linka.
"Please take you seats, no roaming around the place and put your seatbelts on. If you do not know how, then ask someone for some help" said Lincoln.
They all take their seats and Becca and Sid help put their seat belts on, Adelaide is happy to see Lana and Lola came, she questions why Lisa and Lucy didn't show up. Answer: Rocky and Lucy are having a graveyard poetry meeting and Lisa is still not allowed to venture onto Isla Cretacia.
Stanley goes to Linka. "So, who's flying this thing and how fast can this baby go?"
Linka chuckles. "Sorry Mr. Chang, but no can do. Leni is flying the Hercules with Loni as co-pilot. And you cannot see how fast this is, so I suggest you go to your seat and buckle up."
Stanley sighs and goes to his seat, his wife assures him everything will be okay and don't do anything when they get to the island.
Though there was something Sid noticed that was missing. "Hey, where the heck are the other members of your team? Are they waiting for us on the island?"
"They are not on the island, the others are back in Royal Woods getting everything ready for the birthday party of Peter Sharp" replied Lincoln.
"Oh yeah, how old is he gonna be again?" asked Sid.
"40 years old, but due to the fact he's not human and he's lived way longer than anyone else. He's gonna be 151 years old in his current age" replied Linka.
Some of them were shocked to hear the man's actual age. And then some of the kids ask if they can have some autographs from the two leading members of their world's hero team. Lincoln and Linka were kind enough to do so.
The Hercules engines start to hum and they hear Leni speaking. "Attention passengers and Birthday girl, this is your Pilot Leni Spellman speaking. We are about ready to take off, so I want everyone to please remain seated and fasten your seatbelts. This is gonna be one heck of a ride and should you have any problems with flying, then we have some medicine and paper bags just in case. I hope you have a nice flight, keep calm and enjoy the ride."
Lincoln, Linka and Sid chuckle at Leni's pilot calling voice. "Why is she speaking like that?" asked Becca.
"Probably just for fun" replied Lincoln. "Now hold on everyone! This is about to get fast!"
The Hercules starts to rise off the ground, some small Pokemon scramble out of the area.
Neil and Jack Cyber close their cockpits and they transform their Mecha Tengu back to Jet Tengu.
The Hercules then faces the direction of the Pacific Ocean and it takes off at great speed with the two jets in tow.
Inside everyone seems calm and none of them have any motion sickness. Then a screen comes down and it shows them the layout of the island and Martin McKenzie on screen.
"Hi there, you may not know me. My name is Martin McKenzie, I am the leading role for FutureTech industries and a proud member of the Royal Defenders. You are all about to embark on a journey to an island you have never seen or been to before, and you will see animals you may have heard of but have never encountered. You may have seen birds, snakes, lizards, crocodiles and turtles. But what you're about to see is none of the things I'm saying. We are going to meet the ancestors of said creatures, the creatures that roamed this planet more than sixty-five million years ago, creatures that come in all shapes and sizes, some are big, some are small and some are just not so easy to explain or even figure out. There will be danger, if you're not careful and there will be gentle heartwarming beasts that mean you no harm, unless you provoke them. So walk with me, walk with all of us as you take your first steps onto one of our newly developed wildlife reserves, Isla Cretacia. Home of the rescued Dinosaurs of Jurassic World! Now, you're probably wondering. "How on earth did you get these dinosaurs here into our world?" Well, that's a pretty complicated question ….. "
He just goes on and on about the island and the things they'll see.
"When did he make this? And why?" asked Sid.
"No clue, but he knows how to act like a true History channel Narrator" said Linka.
"Or Dr. Hammond" chuckled Lincoln. "This does seem boring, anyone asleep yet?"
They all see Sid and Adelaide's dad Stanly fast asleep. "Wow, I didn't think he'd pass out from that" said Becca.
"You think the others know about this small show Martin is doing?" asked Sid.
"Nope" replied Lincoln and Linka.
"When will this guy shut up?!" groaned Lola.
"At least his talk about dinosaurs is keeping me active" said Lana.
"Is this part of my birthday?" asked Adelaide.
"No sweetie, it's just Martin being a numbskull, as usual. I should talk to him about this" said Becca.
They continue their flight through the mainland of America, past some Allied fortified bases and Washington DC and they then pass by the rest of the states and they are now entering the Pacific Ocean and they make their way north of the Pacific borders.
(Isla Cretacia.)
The Hercules makes its way past the Royal Fortress, Neil and Jack Cyber land their Jet Tengu's onto the Royal Fortress and then the Hercules goes through a fog and turns on its radar and passes by some pterosaurs.
Some of the kids inside spot the flying dinosaurs and are amazed.
They then see the fog lifting and then they see it, Isla Cretacia.
They fly by some grassy plains and see some dinosaurs all moving in herds. From Triceratops, Styrakosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Corythosaurus, Iguanadon and Protoceratops.
They fly over some Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus and Brontosaurus.
They see some large predators moving through the grasslands, an Allosaurus and a pack of Carnataurs.
They see some Velociraptor's coming out of the brush and start chasing after them, they know where the transport is headed to.
"Wow! Those guys look fast!" said Lana.
"Why are they chasing us?!" asked Lola.
Lincoln and Linka look out the window and smile. "Hey Adelaide, recognize one of them?" asked Linka.
Adelaide spots the alpha Velociraptor. "Oh, it's Shiva! Does that mean your mom is here?"
"She is, she's the only one next to Becca and ten other staff members who know how to calm down the raptors, so we don't want anyone trying to make them mad" said Lincoln.
"He's right kids, Velociraptor's are not just some cool dinosaur to look at. They're predators and they will attack anything that doesn't seem nice to them or if they're hungry" said Becca.
"Or if you plan on stealing their eggs" said Sid.
"So let's behave when we get to the site okay kids. We don't want anyone turning into someone meal" said Lincoln.
They then fly over a large lake and then they spot some Baryonix fishing by the water's edge and within the water they see some bubbles surfacing and coming out is the Spinosaurus of the island roaring.
"Hey that's Shepard!" said Adelaide with excitement.
The Spinosaurus sees them and with his keen eyes he can see Adelaide and Sid through the windows, he roars and dives back onto the water and goes after them, straight towards their water and land based outpost.
(Outpost Aqua-Spinos.)
The Hercules transport makes it to its destination and lands onto the helipad.
"Attention passengers we have arrives to our destination, welcome to Outpost Aqua-Spinos. Please disembark safely and no pushing please. Thanks and I hope you an enjoyed your flight."
Lincoln, Linka and Sid chuckled at that. "Is she gonna be like that once we leave the island?" asked Sid.
"Probably, I still don't know why she's saying those words" replied Linka.
They all unbuckles their seatbelts and get off their seats, Lincoln, Linka and Becca stand at the main doors of the Hercules and wait for it to open, it then slowly opens with the group of kids with their parents and Sid, Stanley and Adelaide behind waiting.
And then they see it, the large outpost neighboring the largest lake on the island and they see some dinosaurs walking around the place and being tended to by the staff.
"Everyone, welcome to Isla Cretacia" said Becca. "Now, please follow me and we'll all be at our party area soon. No straying away otherwise it'll be hard to track you down in this place, and I am serious."
They all follow Becca and walk through the large open area and a Brontosaurus walks over them.
"Now that is so cool!" said Lana.
"Jeez, Lisa would love to be here right now" said Lola.
Even the grownups were fascinated by this, they have read dinosaurs in their childhood but never have they ever thought to see them up close and alive. Pokemon living in Great Lake City is nice and all, but this …. This beats it all!
They then enter a hallway with the walls made of glass, they see through it and they were now crossing underneath the lake. They all look up and see the Spinosaurus swim by.
"Looks like Shepard is gonna be ready!" said Adelaide.
"Easy sis" chuckled Sid.
They make it to the other side and then they all see it, a large open area and with lots of tables, foods and party games. "Happy Birthday Adelaide!" said Sid, Becca and Stanley.
Then the Velociraptor pack arrives and they see riding on one of them is Gwen, she's riding Shiva.
"Wow! I did not know Raptors are capable of carrying people" said a shocked Sid.
Gwen gets off of Shiva and chuckles. "Shiva is the alpha of the pack, so technically she's the strongest."
Then they all look to the right and spot the large crocodilian mouth appear and then it surfaces as the Spinosaurus Shepard. The mighty fish eating creature roars which everyone thinks is awesome and scary.
"Shepard!" Adelaide runs towards him. The large predator lowers his head and lets the little girl hug him. "I'm so happy to see you again big guy! And guess what? I'm turning seven now!"
This makes the Spinosaurus hiss and then raise his head. Adelaide giggles as she climbs on board, slides onto his neck and sits on his back, just in front of his frill. Some of the kids and grownup were shocked by this.
"Don't worry everyone, as you should all know he may be big and intimidating to look at, but the Spinosaurus does not eat people. Though this big guy was a genetically unstable creation, it took time for him to become his true self. A non-man eating sea-muncher" replied Becca. "They only defend they're lake territory and use their large size to scare off any unwanted dinosaurs, and today the Spinosaurus has a descendant. Can someone tell me what its descendant is today?"
All of them were trying to guess. Then someone spoke out. "The Flamingo." They all turn around to see Martin McKenzie. "Though they both seem like different creatures, what makes the Flamingo and the Spinosaurus equals is the sole pads underneath their feet. Flat and capable for balancing onto muddy waters and swimming. The Spinosaurus was once identified to actually consume only on shrimp more than fish, take a good look at that big guy."
They look closely at Shepard, even Adelaide notices that his lower legs and belly are starting to turn pink. "He's truing pink! He's turning pink!" yelled Lola.
"Easy with the volume there Loud" said Martin. "But yeah, he is turning pink. Just like Flamingos are today, Shepard here has been tracking down shrimp throughout the lake which leads all the way back to sea. It'll be some months before this once dull brown and grey dinosaur gains his true colors and shines out."
They were all amazed by that information. "Alright then everyone, enjoy yourselves throughout the party and try not to get into any trouble" said Becca.
Gwen and Shiva look to the rest of the Velociraptor packs and signals them to scatter and they do so. The Velociraptor's will station themselves on the outside borders of the party area, to keep an eye on the kids and make sure none of them wander away and get lost.
All the kids enjoy their time with the party games, rides from Shepard and some other dinosaurs they bring in and they listen to some lessons Gwen has about the vicious Velociraptor.
And believe me when I say that Lola and Lana enjoy their rides on some of the dinosaurs. To Lola she feels taller and overpowering.
Lana did bring her pet Hops and he enjoys hanging out with Adelaide's pet frog Froggy 2. Both of them also ride on the head of Shepard. Hops couldn't wait to tell the rest of his reptilian pals about this.
Stanley Chang also enjoys his ride on Shepard. "Woooo! It's like a Monster Truck! Only without the giant wheels and car mechanical parts!"
The theme song being played for the party was the song that Neil and Gyro performed, the song "Apex Predator."
Martin walks around and has a plate of cupcakes and cookies and some chocolate milk. "Martin McKenzie!" said Becca. "Never thought you of all people would eat kid's food."
"Well, I haven't eaten anything when I left the Royal Fortress and I could use something to eat, before the big birthday party of Peter Sharp" said Martin.
"Yes, I heard that it's gonna start later at … Noon or night?" asked Becca.
"Late in the afternoon, once this is all over I gotta help Boomer with the mechanical bull ride, we found the right candidate for the platform" said Martin.
Just then some parents go to the Martin and Becca. "Excuse me sir, but we are amazed and happy to be the first guests to be here on the island for the first time."
"And we all think it's a great idea for people to come here and see the place as well."
"A lot of tourists would love to see this place and learn all about these marvelous creatures of the past."
Martin's smile frowns and he sighs. "Oh Jesus Christ with you people. First off, you're all sounding a lot like the bastard greedy company that helped fund them, InGen. Second, we cannot let other people come here and tour the island, all the dinosaurs here are okay with humans but when it comes to a crowd the size of Disneyland, then we got ourselves a problem. And finally, under the words and jurisdiction of the United Nations, we can only let a few people who we trust and or accept to see this place, and you're all just here to keep an eye on your kid's behaviors and that's that. We are not turning this wildlife reserve into a tourist attraction."
Martin then walks away and sits next to Lincoln and Linka and tell them about what he just heard, this make the Linck twins not happy at all.
Becca also had to tell the adults the warning that they are only allowed to be here just this once, and then they can never return to this island again. Otherwise there will be major discussions at Supreme Court. They all understood and back off, they do not want to provoke three members of the Royal Defenders.
Martin did still had the will to discuss some more fun facts and lessons to the kids about the other dinosaurs on the island, and then he told them of where they truly came from. Which then made the other grownups understand.
Eventually it was time for Adelaide to blow her cake and it soon arrives, being carried by an Ankylosaurus.
The cake itself is the shape of the island and has some edible dinosaur models on it.
Adelaide blows the candles and is given the first slice of the vanilla cake, and of course the dinosaurs were given their food.
They had to make sure even all of the Raptor's got some meat to eat and Shepard was given a large tub of shrimp, salmon, cod and crawfish.
Lola and Lana took their time to snag some pictures of themselves with the dinosaurs, they couldn't wait to show them to Lisa and the rest of the family.
Soon in the noon, it was time for all of them to head on home. They were all given Dinosaur related goodie bags and they make their way into the Hercules.
Sid did notice someone in the party fast asleep. She sees Shepard looking down onto Adelaide who is passed out on her chair with a big smile and some cake on her face.
Sid gently picks her up and she pets Shepard's head. "We'll come back and visit again big guy." The Spinosaurus nods and heads back into the lake, while Sid brings her little sister back to the transport.
Becca stayed behind to help clean up the place, Stanley with the help of Martin bring the gifts back into the transport as well. With Lincoln and Linka following behind. And no Stanley you still cannot pilot the Hercules!
I'm still surprised they let Leni ….. And Loni pilot the damn transport, I guess driving cars isn't the only thing they know.
With everyone back in the Hercules, Leni and Loni then take off back to the mainland. They do run into the same Jet Tengu escort of Neil and Jack Cyber. Martin didn't ride with the, he used his tech suit and flew to where Boomer was so they can get the mechanical bull ready.
Lincoln, Linka, Martin and Jack Cyber now had one more party to deal with and it was that belonging to a wild western Ghost Rider of a musician of a man!
Lincoln and Linka knew there was one person who wanted to be there with them, but she couldn't. Jordan knows she can't let her Indoraptor join in on the party or even be there on the island, so they'll just show Sid and Adelaide next time.
To be continued ….
