Sorna: The dilophosaurs were rocking the crate that Nedry was in, desperate to get some food in order to survive. Inside Nedry was rapidly typing away on the keyboard while sweating profusely. He then hit a couple more keys and the message on the computer read: VIRUS DELETED.
"There I solved it!" he shouted nervously in success. "Now get me out of here!"
No response came from the loudspeaker.
"John! Dammit John you told me when I got rid of the virus you'd let me go free now get me out of here!" shouted Nedry really starting to panic. The crate was being rocked more and more heavily as more dilophosaurs began showing up and helping push it.
"John!" shouted Nedry.
"I've been listening," said Hammond angrily.
"Now get me out of here!" shouted Nedry.
"No," said Hammond.
"What? You can't do this to me!" shouted Nedry.
Jake's Office: Hammond was watching with cold staring eyes at the image of Nedry being rocked around in the crate while Muldoon, Arnold, and Wu watched nervously from just outside.
"Yes I can you gave me the right!" shouted Hammond.
"When?" asked Nedry being tossed around the crate.
"Four years ago when you betrayed me," said Hammond grating his teeth.
"That's what this has all been about?" Nedry asked incredulously. "Revenge? Is that all you think about?"
"What else is there to think about? You are the first person to betray me in a very long time and I don't stand for that. If you're on my good side you have nothing to fear but you never want to get on my bad side. It's very difficult to get on my bad side and yet Nedry you did. But why?" Hammond demanded. "Why did you betray me?"
"I betrayed you because you took me for granted!" Nedry shouted angrily. "You gave me task after task after task in order to complete that lousy computer system of yours. When I made a bid for how much I'd work for, I had no idea how much you were going to make me do! When I asked for what I viewed as fair compensation, you turned on me! You made it seem like I was the bad guy when all I wanted was some respect and enough money to justify my troubles. I didn't want to be your enemy but apparently when someone falls on your bad side they can never redeem themselves in your eyes! So yes, I got mad and fought back verbally with you in the hopes you'd come around but instead you got even more mad at me! I had to do something so I contacted Biosyn as a way to escape your wrath. They wanted me to steal embryos in order for them to get me out so I was going to until Jake caught me. So that's why I did it I had to get out or else I would forever have lived in fear under your wrath!"
Hammond shook his head both in disgust and with a shred of doubt that maybe Nedry was right. He hadn't wanted things to go bad between him and Nedry and yet somehow their relationship had spiraled out of control before he knew how or why.
"I don't believe you," he said with somewhat less anger than before.
"Believe it! Many of your employees are often frightened to death of you. You would never have known this, but us lower employees did. How many people have you fired but you can't recall why? Face it John, you're more of a monster than those dinosaurs back on Nublar, at least they don't deny what they are," said Nedry as the cage was nearly tipped over. "For God's sake, get me out of here!"
Hammond stood there shell shocked. He had never before considered himself a monster, just someone who didn't like being betrayed, lied to, or anything else deplorable happen to him or to his company. Had he over the years become this monster that only Jake and Nedry had realized and spoken out against him? He hadn't lashed out at Jake despite his constant misgivings about Nublar and dinosaurs, but that was because he was far away and John never saw him while Nedry the other hand… Had he really wanted Jake to come to the island as some subconscious form of torture against his protests? Hammond shuddered at this thought and that he could ever be seen as being so cruel. Hammond shoved himself back from Jake's desk and stood up weakly.
"I-I'm going for a walk. Please bring Nedry back and left him go. Offer him a job or anything else he wants if you want, I-I just need to be alone," said Hammond stumbling off in a daze.
"What's with him?" Wu asked concerned.
"I think he saw a part of himself he'd hidden from himself until just now," said Muldoon shaking his head sadly.
"I think I'll go arrange for Nedry's release," said Arnold also leaving dejected at the recent turn of events.
Nublar, Genetics Lab: Jake was rummaging through the various files and reading them to learn all he could about what had been going on here that he was not aware about regarding the DNS list. It mentioned the investors wanting something extremely deadly on the island to really bring in the teenage market and how Hammond had agreed with them and knowing that either Jake or Henry would raise a fuss about it, he deliberately had the new DNS embryos not listed on any records whatsoever and subsequently Jurassic Park's profit quickly made a jump. Jake had hoped the records would give him something so that he could decide what to think about this situation but now he was even more perplexed. Eventually he just threw up his hands in failure and leaned against the file cabinets thinking about other matters. Unfortunately those other matters revolved around his relationship with Lex, another thing he didn't really want to think about at the moment.
When they had first gotten forced into working together, Jake had considered it a purely business relationship. Lex needed help getting the kids through Jurassic Park alive and Jake felt obligated to help them. But as they continued advancing through the park, the relationship had started to get less business and more personal. He desperately didn't want to fall for the old clichéd boss's daughter or granddaughter routine, but as he and Lex had continued through the park he found himself liking who she was even more and more. Lex didn't buckle under the intense pressure around them and she was very outspoken about her ideas and beliefs. She'd even stood up against him and a couple occasions and Jake could easily respect that. He liked women who weren't afraid to stand up for what they believed in and too often he'd been in relationships with women who might've been very beautiful but were intellectually dry.
Lex on the other hand had both brains and beauty. The fact that she was the boss's granddaughter hadn't seen to make a difference when they talked about various things regarding Hammond and Lex seemed to genuinely care about how Jake was handling being on this accursed island. Jake sighed, if they age difference wasn't so great then maybe things could work out between them, but then again could he really deny any chance of actually having a decent relationship based on others preconceptions? It was this that had primarily been troubling him if he and Lex ever had an actual heart to heart conversation which is why he had lied to her about there being a dinosaur ahead of him in the Hummer when Lex had started to get sentimental. Jake sighed again very deeply and decided that he found himself desperately wanting to find out how Lex was doing at the moment. Jake shook his head and reached for the radio.
Boat: "Lex?" said the radio. Lex blinked her eyes and saw the river surrounding them on all sides. She sighed before her eyes opened wide realizing it was Jake on the radio.
"Yeah it's me, who else would be on this godforsaken island?" she responded chuckling. Jake laughed lightly as well on the other end.
"How're you holding up?" asked Jake with a slight note of concern on his voice.
"Oh pretty good," said Lex also with a slight note of concern as well. "Where are you?"
"I'm back at that genetics lab," said Jake. Lex looked worried.
"Why? Are you still going to make the rendezvous?" asked Lex.
"I just needed to sort some things out back here. A couple things I'll never solve, but one thing I believe I've found the answer to and yes I'll still be making the rendezvous," said Jake. Lex was nodding. She was about to ask him what he'd solved when the water exploded all around her.
Lab: "Lex?" Jake demanded. "What's happening?"
He heard the rush of water and screams as several roars were heard.
"Lex!" Jake shouted again.
"We're under attack by crocs!" shouted Lex as more crocodile roars were heard.
"Are they big or small?" Jake asked.
"How the hell should I know they're rocking the damn boat!" Lex shouted back.
"I'm on my way!" shouted Jake. He grabbed his rifle, ran out the door and was immediately confronted by two deinonychosaurs who were standing just outside the doorway.
Sorna: Nedry emerged from the crate in a frazzled state as the helicopter that had been carrying it roared off. Several guards rushed into the crate and retrieved the laptop, immediately rushing it to Ray Arnold.
"Dennis Nedry as of this moment you are officially released from Ingen custody. Enjoy your life," said one of the faceless guards reading a sheet of paper. The guard then handed it to Nedry and they left leaving Robert Muldoon and Henry Wu alone with Nedry.
"Hello Nedry," said Muldoon after several silent moments had passed. "It's been a long time."
"And I wish it had been longer," said Nedry angrily. "But then again I'm sure you're well aware of Hammond's wrath so I don't need to rehash that. Now that I'm free I'm going to sue this company for all it's worth."
"Try it," said a voice. "Fight as much as you want, you might win you might not. I don't really care."
Nedry turned to see Hammond emerging from the shadows, done from his walk.
"Finally come to grips with what you are?" Nedry demanded. Hammond nodded.
"Yes and you're right Nedry I am a monster," he said agreeing with Nedry.
"So you've finally admitted your dark side," said Nedry with a note of triumph.
"Yes I am a monster. But when I started dealing with monsters I had to ultimately become one in order to compete. I can't allow people like you to do what you do just like I cannot allow the dinosaurs to run free on my island!" Hammond shouted. "Let's go!"
A group of guards came in and hauled Nedry off.
"Where're we going?" asked Muldoon. Hammond turned to face him with dark eyes.
"We're going back to Nublar and we're getting back my island!" he shouted. "Grab a rifle we're rescuing my grandchild once and for all like we should've done in the first place."
Muldoon nodded and ran off to the armory. Half an hour later six helicopters lifted off from Site B headed back to Jurassic Park.
Lab: Jake immediately tensed and froze while the deinonychosaurs stood there looking at him blinking. Jake fumbled for the rifle but dropped it to the floor with his hands shaking so much. He closed his eyes and realized that his luck had run out finally and Lex and the others were going to die because of his incompetence. He never should've left Lex and the kids and he should've addressed his and Lex's situation earlier. He felt a slight prodding at his chest and closed his eyes even tighter preparing for some painful tearing and gnashing. But all there was was the prodding and nothing more. Jake slowly opened his eyes to reveal one of the deinonychosaurs sniffing his blood soaked jacket and shirt. It then pulled back and seemed to engage in a conversation with its partner. Jake had no doubt these were the two he'd run into the previous day and a half and he had no idea what they were talking about. He looked down at his shirt in confusion when he noticed the deinonychosaurs blood on his shirt from when the plesiosaur had ripped the one to shreds and given him a blood shower. Jake rubbed his hands on it and sniffed it, the smell was still strong. Jake looked up at the two dinosaurs who were still 'talking' before the second deinonychosaur sniffed his now blood encrusted hand. Then the two appeared to reach an agreement and looked at him expectantly.
"No," he said suddenly realizing what they were talking about. Jake cautiously took a couple steps down the walkway and the two dinosaurs took two steps to follow him. Jake's jaw dropped as he realized that thanks to his blood encrusted shirt and his body still stinking of deinonychosaurs guts, the two dinos thought that he was their leader. Jake looked at his rifle again, but he knew that regardless of how much he hated dinosaurs, he couldn't murder any in cold blood without his life being in danger. He realized he had to focus on saving Lex and this could wait. He tore out of the room heading for hummer while the two deinonychosaurs followed him. Jake hopped inside gunning the engine and tearing off down the road with the dinos still following him down the road as Jake continued to gun the engine.
River: Lex and the other kids were trying to make sure the boat didn't tip over as the crocodiles continued to thrash the boat as water continued flowing over the sides. The children were beginning to panic as they boat slowly began being crumpling from all sides.
"Jake'll be here soon, we'll be fine," said Lex.
"How's he supposed to find us? He doesn't know where on the river we are," said Tommy annoyed. Lex immediately realized this and began hurriedly looking around for something to give Jake an idea as to their location. It was then that she noticed a red box mounted to the inner hull of the boat which read: Flare Gun. Lex yanked open the box on pure adrenalin as a crocodile rose out of the water and began chomping on the wires that surrounded the open areas of the boat. Lex's eyes flashed with anger at her situation and she growled in anger.
"I hate dinosaurs!" she yelled. She reared back her foot and kicked the thing with all of her might. The crocodile roared in pain and ultimately let go of the wires as the boat continued floating down the river, still being attacked from the other sides. Lex snapped open the barrel and loaded a flare into the gun as one of the crocodiles tore through the wires surrounding the boat and pushed its way in causing the boat to lean heavily to the side. The children grabbed onto the seats as the boat began tipping. When the boat was at the right angle, Lex fired the flare and it went roaring off into the early morning sky.
Park: The hummer and the two deinonychosaurs were running down the road when the flare roared off above them.
"Good going Lex!" shouted Jake. The two dinos noticed and realized that it had to be their destination. But as Jake turned onto another dirt road, a massive maiasaur was blocking their path. Jake honked the horn several times but it only caused the maiasaur to briefly stir and look at the annoyance in question. It looked at the vehicle dubiously before the two deinonychosaurs reared back and roared at the thing exposing all of their claws. The maisasaur's eyes went wide-open and it tore off through the jungle. Jake sighed and reluctantly he nodded his approval at the dinos' tactics. Jake then gunned the engine and the vehicle roared off down the road.
Pacific Ocean: The six helicopters continued roaring over the water headed for Jurassic Park.
"We've got about three more hours until we get there," said the pilot over the roar of the blades. Hammond nodded before leaning back into the body. Muldoon was sitting there holding his trusty rifle while Arnold fidgeted nervously while holding the laptop. Henry Wu had chosen to stay behind and would come over after the lysine kicked in. Nedry was currently incarcerated on another helicopter full of guards. Perhaps guards was too weak of a word, they were more soldiers than anything else. Muldoon had never seen them before now and Hammond had yet to comment on their existence.
"John?" Muldoon asked ready to broach the subject.
"Yes?" asked Hammond innocently.
"Who are all of these people?" asked Muldoon confused. "I've never seen or heard of them before."
Hammond set down the PDA he'd been reading and looked up at him through his glasses.
"These 'people' are a specially trained mercenary group," said Hammond as if this was common knowledge.
"Trained for what?" Arnold asked confused.
"Trained to retake Jurassic Park in the event that the power ever failed. They've been trained with a variety of weapons and many forms of combat to combat any predators we might run across in order to restore stability to the island," said Hammond darkly.
"I thought you didn't have a contingency plan in the event that things went sour," said Muldoon. Hammond looked at him like he was a naïve fool.
"You're right I didn't at first because I didn't think it would ever happen. But then Nedry nearly betrayed me and set the dinos loose so I used secret funding to train these mercenaries on another island where they have gone into combat with various dinosaurs and the best have come out on top and are part of this team," he said.
"What about those who didn't come out on top?" asked Arnold.
"The dinosaurs got them," said Hammond simply. Muldoon and Arnold's jaws dropped as they suddenly grew very uncomfortable confronted a side of their boss they'd never even seen until now.
"Maybe Nedry was right," they both thought nervously while Hammond returned to going through the PDA, which had various preplanned combat scenarios on it. Hammond meanwhile was unconcerned about what they thought.
"We're coming for you Lex and I will get rid of anything that stands in my way," thought Hammond bitterly as the helicopters continued flying over the water.
Boat: The boat continued listing even farther to the side as the crocodiles continued holding onto it.
"Looks like this is it!" shouted Lex ready to go down fighting as the boat began slowly going under the water. Then a roar pierced the air and the crocodiles let go and sniffed the air as the boat fell back into its rightful position. A low rumbling was heard off in the distance along with some other roars.
"Now what?" she said clearly annoyed. The roar grew louder until it reached a fever pitch. Then suddenly a black hummer roared over the top of the nearby embankment and went airborne before crashing into the water with two deinonychosaurs diving in on both sides of it.
"Jake!" Lex shouted as the hummer began sinking underneath the water while the deinonychosaurs began swimming a protective circle around it. In the hummer, Jake undid his belt and began to swim against the flow of water. He barely got out with the rifle before he drowned, but unfortunately it took all of his energy and he floated on the surface physically exhausted from the overall lack of sleep he'd had even with the coma. As he blearily opened his eyes he saw a crocodile coming straight at him. Jake couldn't even move to close his eyes as the creature got closer and closer. It opened its' mouth right in front of Jake and prepared to chomp down when a blur flash by and it roared in pain. Jake strained his head to see one of the deinonychosaurs on top of it tearing out its flesh while the other began fending off the other crocs.
"Thank you…my friends," Jake thought, surprised at his own mind. He then struggled to make it to the boat, but realized he just didn't have the strength to even stay afloat. Then he felt a pair of hands clamping onto him and dragging him to the boat as he saw Lex in the water next to him while the deinonychosaurs continued churning up the water fighting the crocs. Lex barely managed to haul Jake onto the boat and get aboard to but both were soaking wet and physically exhausted.
"Thanks," said Jake breathing heavily while lying down on the boat deck.
"Don't mention it," said Lex also laying down right next to him. "Thought you weren't going to make it there and leave us to die."
"Not until I got the chance to speak," said Jake still breathing deeply.
"About what?" Lex asked sitting up getting her strength back.
"About us," said Jake still breathing in and out. Lex looked at him shocked that he'd bring it up.
"What about us?" Lex asked trying not to betray any hint of emotion regarding the two of them.
"I was just thinking that when this is all over I'd like to take you to dinner," said Jake starting to fall asleep. Lex looked at him with suddenly revitalized energy.
"So you think we'll survive?" she asked noting his no longer pessimistic tone.
"Of course," he said laughing.
"Why?" Lex asked.
"Otherwise how will I find out whether things can work out between us?" he said finally before instantly collapsing and falling asleep. Lex just shook her head.
"It will. It will," she said ripping off part of the tarp covering the boat and covering him up in it. She gave him a kiss on the forehead when he mumbled.
"Hope John'll understand," he said in his sleep. Lex smiled and made her way to the controls and pushed the accelerator forcing the boat to limp further down the river.
Ocean: "We're nearly to Isla Nublar," said the pilot over the choppers roar. Hammond nodded.
"Good. These dinosaurs wanted a war, they've got one!" he shouted with glee as the island appeared in the distance. Hammond instantly began laughing, further terrifying Muldoon and Arnold.
"You were right Ian, life will find a way. It's time for the wrath of extinction to once again hit the dinosaurs," he said with an evil grin.
