Later that day towards sunset, the courtship is beginning as the lemurs were gathered by the large tree as Yar was with a group male lemurs.
"Okay, boys, gather 'round." Yar said. "Listen and learn from the master."
Over at the base of the tree, Pilo was giving similar advice with a group of several female lemurs.
"Now, girls, don't jump into the trees after the first boy with a cute back flip." Pilo advised and gives each one a flower. "It's more fun if you keep them guessing."
"And if a cute back flip doesn't work, guess." Yar said.
"You're never going to forget this day, so make it one to remember." Pilo said.
"But if you mess up, don't worry." Yar assured. "They'll never remember."
"Come on, guys!" Called Aladar's voice.
And then below the tree, Aladar with Zini and Zoboo on him appeared.
"We don't wanna let 'em down!" Aladar said.
"Go on, now." Yar said as the lemurs started leaping off the tree. "Chest out! Chin up!"
The lemurs leaped off the branch, and landed on Aladar's back. And one caught hold of Aladar's lower lip, and he was flung onto his back.
"Make 'em look good, son." Yar said.
"Come on, Yar." Aladar turned to him. "My charm and your brains? No problem."
And Yar laughed a bit.
And soon, Aladar steps out of the treeline and then bellows as he then rushed to the tree.
"Hey, girls, look what just pulled into town." Aladar said the female lemurs.
"Hey, ladies!" Said a lemur on his back.
"You're buffet table of love." Aladar then turns to his side.
And the female lemurs then laughed.
"Right here! Right here!"
"Hey, beautiful!"
"Hey, free samples!" Zini called out and hopped across Aladar's tail. "Get me while I'm hot!"
And then Zini lost balance and then quickly grabs hold of Aladar's tail at the tip of it and held on and sheepishly chuckled.
"Zini." Suri laughed.
And then Aladar walks under a treeline. And soon Zini joins back with the other lemurs. And then they suddenly leaped upwards to the branches above and Zini quickly follows them. And Aladar then leans down onto a large branch as it shifted down under his mass.
And near him, Suri joins next to her mother and Yar and then started calling and Zini as well in the branches above them. And Suri continues calling out as Yar then joins in, and soon Aladar bellows out.
In the trees, the lemur group started bouncing on the branches getting ready to jump. But Zini bounced too hard, and the branch under him snapped and he fell into a lower branch with his legs sticking out.
And Suri saw that and giggled.
Meanwhile, the other male lemurs then leaped out of the branches and flung into the air as if they were flying. And then grab hold of the vines of the tree as they swung.
Meanwhile Zini was trying to get himself free as he was stuck between a fork of 2 branches.
"You're missin' all the action, pal." Aladar said rushing in and grabs the branch off in his mouth. "Come on." He then rushed Zini over to the tree.
"Hey, haven't you heard?" Zini asked. "I am the action."
And then when Aladar was close enough, and then flung Zini off the branch and into the air. And he quickly grabs hold of a vine and swung around with the other lemurs.
And below the swinging lemurs, the female lemurs then started climbing up the vines. And soon reached the same height were the male lemurs are.
And they stood motionless on the vines for a moment.
And then the female lemurs leaped off the vines, and soon the males leaped off, and Zini begins to follow them. But was pulled back as his right foot was caught tangled in the vine.
And the other lemurs leaped into the air between each other, and flew around and swung on the vines like they were acrobats putting on a show.
And Zini hurries to get himself free.
And then the lemurs leaped onto a vine each with a pair of lemurs. And in one vine, a female hands the male her flower and gives it to him as she accepts him. And then she begins to climb up the vine as her mate follows her.
And soon the other lemurs begin to climb up as Zini has finally freed himself from the vine. And he then looked around as all the lemurs now have a mate, leaving him the only one left.
And Zini hung his head down sad of missing his chance.
And sadly Zoboo didn't have any luck as well.
As the courtship was over, Aladar approached the tree as the last of the paired lemurs climbed up the vines. And into the treetop as they all watched the sun setting.
And soon Aladar then begins to turn and walk off, and then heard a sad sigh and turns to Zini and Zoboo hanging alone on a vine.
And then Aladar approaches them, and sees Zini was taking it the hardest.
"Ah, don't worry, Zini." Aladar assured. "You always have next year."
"Yeah, I guess we were 2 lemurs too many." Zoboo said and hops on his neck.
"Hey, I'm lucky to be rid of them." Zini said. "With the ladies, before you know it, they all wanna move to a bigger tree." he climbs on his head.
"Hmm." Aladar finding it a little funny.
Nearby, Pilo and Yar also saw Zini alone.
"Oh, well. Poor Zini." Yar sadly said. "The clan still has 2 bachelors."
And then Aladar turns away from the tree.
"No, we have 3." Pilo stated.
Ever since Aladar appeared on the island, he's been the only dinosaur on the island. And he's been the only member of his kind here since.
And Pilo begins to head on over to them.
Aladar then lowers down and lays down as Zini and Zaboo hopped off and headed away. And Pilo soon joins next to Aladar.
"Well, it's never really his best event." Pilo said.
"He's got a tougher hide than mine." Aladar joked.
"Oh, Aladar, if only there was someone on the island for you." Pilo said. "Well, you know, who looks like you. But prettier."
"Come on, Pilo." Aladar said. "What more could I want?"
And then suddenly a flame whooshing sound was heard as Aladar looked up.
Nearby, other lemurs on the ground watched as streaks of flaming lines were in the sky. They were balls of fire soaring across the evening sky.
"Whoa!" Aladar gasped.
And then he stood up and turns to them.
And Pilo watched them as well as Yar and Suri were close by. And Yar glanced at Suri and placed a hand on her as she then leaps away and watches the sky.
Aladar walks underneath the tree as the fireball streaks in a purple glow. And then Suri leaps over to him, and climbs up his back leg and onto his head.
"What are they?" Suri wondered.
"I don't know." Aladar said unsure.
And then Suri leaps into the branches and climbs up the tree. And then joins the other lemurs in the treetop and watches as suddenly more streaks of fireballs appeared as if they were displaying a mysterious evening light show.
The fireballs are actually small meteors flying through the atmosphere in high speeds which cause them to catch fire.
Meteors often soar through the air every so often, but tonight there were a lot more then usual.
Aladar took a step forward and watches as the meteors fell through the air disappearing behind the horizon.
The other lemurs continue watching the meteor light show as then Zini and Zoboo appeared and watched them.
"Mangatsika." Zoboo gasped.
Pilo then joins next to her father as a loud whooshing sound as heard, and then turns into a loud distant clanging sound. And Pilo looked overhead, and saw a flock of birds flying off.
And then getting suspicious, Yar started sniffing the air.
"Dad?" Pilo went up to him.
And Yar continues sniffing as a loud whooshing was heard.
"Something's wrong." Yar informed.
And then a whooshing sound was heard as Pilo then grew concern.
"Aladar, where's Suri?" Pilo asked leaped near Aladar as he glanced back to her.
"She's in the... tree." Aladar replied as it suddenly strangely got brighter as he looks in the air at something.
And then the brightness grew as Pilo looked up and saw something in the air that made her eyes widen.
As it turns out, the meteors were the bow wave of something much, much, bigger.
And then suddenly emerging from the clouds, came a colossal meteorite as wide as a mountain is tall appeared from the heavens as bright as the sun itself. And the lemurs watched it fall as the brightness grew more.
And the colossal meteorite continues falling through the air trailing a long huge smoke trail behind it, and then disappeared behind the horizon.
Then suddenly a bright white flash appeared with a loud whoosh, and then the bright flash fades as it was now night with a ring of air in the sky. And a large mushroom cloud was seen indicating where the meteorite landed.
Everything was quiet as everyone watched as the brightness slowly lowers unsure what was going on.
The mushroom cloud's fiery glow slowly fades down, and then appearing on the surface of the ocean came 2 lines soaring over the water as if something was something.
The lemurs remained silent as a sound grew, but then suddenly they were thrown back a bit by a sudden strong gust of wind as strong a hurricane's front blast.
Pilo and tar were also stunned of what just happened, but before they could even think. And 2nd shockwave suddenly appeared knocking them back.
"Come on!" Pilo yelled helping Yar up. "Go! Go! Come on!"
"Mom!" Suri yelled.
"Suri!" Pilo cried.
Then suddenly a loud sound was heard as a tremor began as the mushroom cloud's base suddenly appeared dozens of fireballs flying high into the air.
"Mom!" Suri screamed. "Mom!"
"Suri!" Aladar looked up at the tree.
"Mom!" Suri yelled.
And then Pilo hurries over to the tree.
"Suri, where are you?!" Aladar yelled.
Pilo quickly hopped over Aladar's shoulder, and hurries up the branches to the treetop as leaves fell down from the shaking. At the treetop, Suri stood horrified as the fiery scene miles away, and then Pilo suddenly appeared and grabs her and hurries down.
And then they dropped onto Aladar's head.
"Run, Aladar!" Pilo yelled. "Run! Run!"
And then Aladar turns to and begins to run.
The bombarment of fireballs rains down over the ocean as a massive tidal wave of fire moves towards the island.
And on the island, the lemurs fled for their lives as the bombarment reaches the island and rains down as then it got brighter as Aladar with Pilo, Suri and Zoboo on him ran by and a fireball hits the ground nearby.
And among the fleeing lemurs, Yar leaps as he then trips over a branches and hits the ground.
And then suddenly Aladar appeared behind him and lowers his head down, and tossed him up.
"Yar, come on!" Aladar yelled as a fireball hits the ground.
And Yar lands on Aladar's head.
And Zini leaps across a log as soon Aladar caught up with him.
"Zini, jump!" Pilo yelled.
"Zini, jump!" Aladar yelled.
"Jump!" Pilo yelled.
Zini leaps across the log quickly, and soon reaches the end and leaps over a tree stump and made a jump towards Aladar as a sudden flash of a crashing meteor hits the ground. And Pilo caught him as he hangs on.
"Hold on!" Pilo yelled.
The colossal flaming shockwave continues to near the island as meteors rained down.
On the island, Aladar continued running as then suddenly a meteor hits the ground just behind him. And the explosion sends him flying through the air and hits the ground. And not even wasting a second, Aladar quickly gets back to his feet as Pilo holds on to Zini.
The wall of flames continues closer to the island.
Aladar soon made it out of the forest and into the open as he ran, and then a meteor hits the ground near him on the left. And he quickly dodges as a 2nd one hits the ground him on the right. And Aladar kept running as a 3rd hits the ground where pas by.
And then flaming wall of the blast front grows closer to the island.
Aladar continues running as the wall grew bigger and closer, and then 3 meteors hit the ground as he continues running.
But soon Aladar was running out of island as he ran and nears a sea cliff on the other side of the island as 2 meteors hit the ocean. And then Aladar quickly comes to a stop and skids right to the edge as there was a 100 foot drop below.
And now Aladar had nowhere else to go.
And the blast front finally reaches the island as the leaves of the tree were blown off. And then it was knocked off aside from the blast front.
And then Aladar looked back and gasped as the blast front quickly draws closer. As they were now trapped between the wall of flames and the sheer cliff drop.
And then without a 2nd thought, Aladar quickly jumps off the cliff and falls and roars as the flaming ash wall pass over the spot where he was just at. And then the lemurs were thrown off him as they fell. And part of the cliff comes off as Aladar fell closer to the water as the blast front draws closer.
And then Aladar hits the water, and then dives under as a couple rocks underwater.
And then as the rocks sank, Aladar then started swimming back up.
At the surface, streaks of fire continue falling as Aladar erupts out of the water like a whale and roars, and then hits the water underneath.
And he soon surfaces again and coughs.
"Pilo! Yar!" Aladar yelled out to them. "Where are you?!" He then coughed again.
"Aladar!" Pilo's voice yelled.
Aladar then saw Pilo, Yar, Zini, Zoboo and Suri on some wood using it as a raft.
"Over here!" Pilo called out.
And then Aladar hurries over to them.
Hours later, waves of water rolled and crash on a beach.
And then Aladar's left front foot steps onto the shore and climbs onto the shore and then lays down exhausted as they made it to the mainland.
As Aladar tiredly rests on the ground, Pilo helped her father down as Yar coughs. And Zoboo shakes himself to get the water off.
And soon Aladar looks around, and all around them were small fires burning with many branches and trees down as smoke was being carried by the wind. And then Aladar looked back behind him, and saw a few miles away was the island he once called home engulfed in flames from the blast front. And a tears drops from Aladar's face.
Pilo, Yar, Zini, Zoboo and Suri stared at the distant flaming island as well. And then Suri leaps over near Aladar and climbs onto a log, and then calls out to the island hoping for a response from any surviving lemurs.
But the call went unanswered.
And then Suri tries again, and then Aladar back on his feet bellows out to the island. But sadly there wasn't any calls after as the island was completely wiped out.
"I feel bad. I feel bad." Suri said quietly.
And then Pilo leaped over to her daughter, and then she instantly hugs her.
"Oh, Suri. Easy, easy." Pilo said.
"They're all gone." Suri said.
"Shh, shh. I'm here." Pilo said comforting as she held her.
"What now?" Zoboo asked unsure what to do.
"Come on." Aladar said. "We can't stay here."
Aladar lowers down as they begin to climb up to his back. And then Aladar stood up and stared at his old island home for one final time.
And then he looked up and saw a flock of birds flying overhead which have survived the carnage and saw then flying inland. And using them as a guide, Aladar then turns and begins to head inland and begins to trek across the flamed landscape as a few distant volcanoes were in the distance.
And later, he treks across a rocky landscape as a river of lava flows nearby.
Author's Note:
The secret behind the explosion of each meteor impact was used with a black powder. And originally they were going to use potassium, but it was dangerous to use.
And the Monster Cloud they've used every trick in the book to create it. The shot was first made with smoke rising up over a screen, and then the footage was turned upside down.
But the hardest part was the point of view of the Monster Cloud coming towards the island.
