30. THE ATTEMPTED RESCUE
Based from the movie Jurassic Park 3 written by Peter Buchman, Alexander
Payne, and Jim Taylor
Friday, July 15, 1999 Isla Sorna, Forest
The team ran as fast as they could, looking up to see a helicopter coming over the horizon. Grant watched the direction that the helicopter was going trying to trace the area that they were going to try to land. He smiled as he ran. Ellie was going to save them. He knew that she would. Ellie had always been a true friend, and was now going to be a hero.
Grant then saw the outline of the large lab building that they were in a day before. "This way," he yelled. "They're going to land near the lab!"
They all continued running as they saw the chopper begin to land in the field beside the lab. A large door to the chopper was opened as Grant and the others saw a man wearing a suit coming out with a large loudspeaker. Grant realized immediately that it was Mark Reiman, because he then saw Ellie step out of the chopper to stand beside him.
Mark put the loudspeaker up to his mouth and began to yell in it. "Dr. Grant, we're here to rescue you! Come on!"
Suddenly everyone heard loud screeching sounds coming from behind them. Grant turned to see three adult Pteranodons coming right toward them. Grant freaked. How had those animals gotten out of the Aviary?
Paul was the first person to get to them as Mark still shouted. "Don't do that," Paul yelled. "That's a very bad idea!" Paul swatted the loudspeaker out of Mark's hands as the men just stared at each other.
Grant turned toward the animals and started yelling for them to focus on him.
Muldoon turned when he heard the noises being produced by Grant. "Come on Alan!"
"I'm making a distraction," Grant yelled. "Go! I'll catch up!"
The team, minus Grant, jumped into the helicopter as Muldoon pulled out his gun and started firing at the Pteranodons.
"That's not going to help," Ellie yelled. "Get in!"
Muldoon did so as the pilot took off trying to get leverage. They were leaving Grant without anyone's approval.
Amanda turned toward the pilot's cockpit with a look of surprise. "You have to go back! We can't leave him!"
Seeing a ladder release by the door, Paul ran over and threw the lever. A cord-and-steel-ladder unfurled, dragging across the high grass.
Grant chased after the ladder, catching a rung just as it went over the side of island toward the cliffside. Behind him, Pteranodons were circling the area and starting to go after the chopper. Buffeted by the wind, Grant climbed the ladder up towards the chopper. A Pteranodon flew up right behind him, trying to bite. It was successful at catching Grant's shoulder. Grant spun to the far side of the ladder. The Pteranodon went to bite him again, but found its head caught between the rungs. As it tried to free itself, it just got more entangled. The entire ladder started to lift, caught by the updraft from the creature's wings.
In the back, Muldoon got the ladder mechanism to begin to retract. It reeled Grant faster. It also reeled in the Pteranodon, which might have been caught, but was still plenty dangerous. As Grant reached the cabin, they shut off the ladder engine. The Pteranodon was still working its way free, pulling itself closer and closer.
"We have to cut it," Grant yelled, shouting over the noise. "Find something sharp!"
Everyone checked the cabin for a knife, anything sharp. Finally, Eric handed Grant the Raptor claw. Grant used it to rip the line. The fibers broke and frayed, but the Pteranodon kept coming closer. Paul threw a wrench at the Pteranodon, whacking it straight in the head. It felt good, but it didn't slow the creature down a little. Grant had successfully cut through the cord. He started on the second when the Pteranodon snapped at him, going for his hand. There was nowhere for Grant to cut without the Pteranodon getting him. An idea, Grant very deliberately placed his hand on the line, pulling away at the last moment. The Pteranodon itself bit through the line. The Pteranodon then fell away from the plane, but then regained it's altitude and went back to the other Pteranodons.
The chopper started moving away from the island again as the pilot and co-pilot exhaled.
Suddenly the chopper started to shake and everyone was pulled back and forth throughout the plane. Amanda looked out the window to see the Pteranodons pulling on the bottom landing legs of the chopper trying to bring it to the ground. She screamed as she looked at the animals pulling on the chopper slowly bringing it back toward the island. Then all of a sudden one of the animals came up to the side of the chopper and rammed into it, sending the helicopter sprawling in a downward spiral. The pilots tried to get control of the craft back, but could see that there was no hope.
"Abandon ship," The pilot yelled. "Get out of here now!"
"What about you," Ellie asked.
"Forget about us," The co-pilot replied. "Just go!"
Muldoon jumped out followed by everyone else. They all went crashing to the ground of the island back in the high grass that they were in before and watched in horror as their only way home went crashing into one of the village huts, and went up in flames. Amanda and Eric started crying as Paul hugged them. Ellie and Mark stared at each other in shock as they realized that they were now stuck on Isla Sorna as well.
"Now what do we do," Muldoon yelled. "That got us no where. All that got us was two more deaths and two more people here trapped on this bloody island."
"Hey at least we tried to help," Mark yelled, getting annoyed.
"Hunny," Ellie said in a calm voice. "You'll have to overlook Robert. He's just a little steamed. He'll calm down."
"We better find some shelter," Grant said. "There's not much more we can do here but morn for the lose of the pilots."
"Where are we supposed to go," Paul asked.
"Well since the Pteranodons aren't in the Aviary anymore, then the best place to go would be the Lodge," Grant replied.
"Well then let's get moving people," Muldoon said. "We don't have all day."
Grant, Muldoon, Ellie, Mark, Guitierrez, Daniel, and the three Kirbys went forward, back into the jungle, and toward the Pteranodon Aviary.
