The Six Campers and the Soldier: A Camp Cretaceous Story

by RaidenStorm

Ryan Johnson (OC) is Owen Grady's nephew. Ryan was being trained in ACU when he was chosen to take part in the first ever Camp Cretaceous...along with six other teens, one from Ryan's past. With nothing in common besides being chosen, the seven campers will have to set aside their differences, because when hybrid monsters come knocking, you survive or you die. Yasmina/OC pairing

57. Chapter: 57

The Nublar Seven

A.N: Well...this is it. The series finale. It has been a long journey that has led me to this moment. All the praise, all the comments, all the love has driven me and now...here we are. Where it ends. I'm so excited for this chapter, we have a lot to go over and I'm grateful that everyone who has followed me to the end, will enjoy this finale and the story as a whole. While I am happy to be finishing up, I'm also sad that it has to end, this was my first ever story, month after month of just writing, coming up with ideas on where and how to take the story. While sad that I won't be able to write anything more, don't worry... we'll get to Dominion. I swear on my pride as a fanfic writer...we will finish the Jurassic series. Maybe I'll throw in a little teaser in a short chapter after this. Stay tuned...and enjoy.

P.O.V: None

The Spinosaurs towers over the body of Big Eatie, his massive foot pressing down her ribs. It's eyes turn and face the group and frightened, shocked and saddened teens and also Galen, Bumpy and Pierce. The Spinosaurs growls and snarls in warning at them, causing Bumpy and Pierce to bellow fearfully and run off. Galen is also frightened, soft whimpering moans are heard from him as he backs away from the Spinosaurs and runs off, following Bumpy and Pierce. "Where are they going?" Brooklynn asks as the group's turn and watches them leave. "They're afraid." Ben says quietly, coming to the realisation that they are afraid. "No...they're terrified." Ryan says as he watches his friend, fearless Galen, run away in terror of the Spino. While Ryan would never call Galen a coward he can't blame the young Giganotasaurus for running. If he saw a much bigger predator then him, take out and kill another predator that was bigger than him...he would be terrified too.

The group turns back to the Spino who growls softly before stopping off of Big Eatie. "We got to get out of here!" Kenji says which breaks the group from their fear, they all begin to run but Darius goes ahead, towards Big Eatie's body. We got to help her!" He shouts but Brooklynn and Ryan hold him back. "Darius, you can't!" She shouts as Ryan grabs hold of him. "There's nothing we can do, she's gone and we have to go." He says for which Darius reluctantly nods in agreement. The three of them turn and chase after the others, regrouping with them as Kon, Hawkes and the other two mercenaries watch. "That was brutal, boss. Didn't know you had it in you." Hawkes sarcastically comments to the Kon who rolled his eyes at the comment. "Your praise, truly warms my heart, Mr. Hawkes." Kon says in the same sarcastic tone as Hawkes did. He holds up the controller, which trills. Toro walks ahead and stands beside the Spinosaurs while Swoop flies down and sits upon his head. "I had to do what was necessary. The children were never going to give up the password, not freely...so I had to motivate them to do so." Kon says as he passes the controller to one of the other mercenaries. "Now that the 'motivation' has been demonstrated...go get it." Kon says with a demanding tone. Hawkes straightens his back at hearing the order and nods to the other two mercs, who respond with one of their own, respectively. The Spinosaurs growls as both he and Toro match in sync, Swoop flies off of Toro's head and keeps himself above the two predators. As Kon and the mercenaries follow the the group of teens, Little Eatie roars threateningly at the Spinosaurs. Seeing all them leave, she makes her way slowly to Big Eatie's body. Her eyes are droopy and sad as she moans sadly, she nudges Big Eatie's head, trying to coax her mother up but Big Eatie remains perfectly still, no response of any kind. Growling in fear and frustration, Little Eatie grips softly onto her mother's head, trying to pull her up but she slowly loses her grip. Big Eatie falls back to the ground with a thud...still no response. Little Eatie tries nudging her again but she realises now, that her mother is dead...never to come back. Never to run, never to hunt...never to pay with her again.

The young Tyrannosaur roars in fury and despair to the high heavens as she turns her attention to a nearby tree. Running with full force, she collides head forest with the tree, nearly uprooting it from the ground. Turning to another tree, she does the same thing. Seeing a rock, embedded in the ground, she stands over it and bites down, pulling the good size rock out of the dirt before throwing it away. She roars in pain and despair before settling her nose on the dirt, soft moans and quiet whimpers sound out as a stream of water starts to leak out of Little Eatie's eyes. She whimpers and raises her head, looking back at her mother. Walking with a swaying motion, she sets herself down and caresses her mother's head, before licking one of the many wounds that she sustained from her fatal clash with the Spinosaurs, clean. With one last quiet moan and whimper, Little Eatie rests her head on Big Eatie's snout, soft tears start to free freely from her eyes, the droplets forming a puddle on Big Eatie's pale, whitening skin.

P.O.V Change: Ryan

Darius, Brooklynn and I managed to catch up to the rest of the group, just as they break through some foliage. "Guys! Up there!" Sammy says as she points to the feeding overlook of the biome. With every other hiding place either compromised or inaccessible, this is the next best thing. "Go, go. Get to the top." I say as I watch all of the them climb up. Yaz is the last one as I follow her up, the thudding of footsteps and hissing of the Spinosaurs sounds closer and closer to us. We get to the top and push our backs against the tree, hiding every part of us away from the dinos, and the mercs. I gaze down through the small gaps of the platform and see Toro and the Spinosaurs down below. The Dimorphadon flies over head but not high enough for it to see us. Hawkes and the other two mercs look around for us but none of them spot the very obvious ladder that leads up to us. Either they are dumb or just blindly stupid, either why...I'm not going to complain. They leave the immediate area and continue on with their search. We all sigh in relief and pant to get out breathing back. I look over everyone and see downcast and sad eyes, the memory of watching Big Eatie dying will site as hell not leave any of us for the seeable future. Out of everyone, it's Darius's reaction that gets me, he looks away from the rest of us and holds his knees close to his chest. I remember that Darius had a special connection to Big Eatie, not unlike me and Ben with Galen and Bumpy but more of an... understanding of each other. Darius learnt a lot from Big Eatie, I can't even imagine the kind of pain that he's going through.

"I can't believe he killed Big Eatie." Yaz says as everyone, par Darius, looks towards her. "If he's willing to kill her, what would he do to us to get that password?" She questions fearfully as I sink my head back, resting it against the tree. "Oh great...so either we stay and face certain death..." Ben starts as Brooklynn follows him up. "Or we leave the island...take out chances with the boat?" She states, no one speaks for a moment as we ponder our choices. Neither of them seem very inviting. We stay, we're dead...we go, and live with the shame of leaving every single dinosaur on this island to the treatment of Kon and the rest of Mantah Corp. We have come so far and now, we are met with an enemy that has proven to match us at every step, pushing us back, dividing us and now, he has shown that he has the means and the guts to quite literally, cut out lives short. We have never faced anything like this.

"Brooklynn's right. We have to get to the boat." Darius says as he gets up and faces us, looks of sadness and defeat on his face. "Really? After everything we faced and been through...we're just throwing in the towel and leaving the dinosaurs to fend for themselves?" Sammy questions sadly, Darius doesn't answer her but the defeated expression is enough to answer her question. I sit back and look up at the simulated sky, the choice seems so easy, just get to the boat, start her up and make our way back to the mainland, it's so simple, I could have laughed but I didn't. We could go, and in doing so, all of our struggles, all of our efforts, everything that we have sacrificed, all of it...will be undone and for nothing. The enslavement of the dinosaurs will be our fault, and Big Eatie's death will be in vain if we give up now...no...I refuse.

"No."

Everyone turns to me as I get to my feet and face them. "No. If we give up now, then everything...everything we have accomplished, all the struggles that we went through, all the blood, sweat and tears...will be for nothing. Are we really going to give up now? After all that? Well...I say to hell with that!" I shout with anger and determination in my voice as everyone looks up at me in shock. "B-but...Ryan? You said before that you would rather go home then help the dinosaurs?" Darius questions which is followed up by Kenji. "Yeah, you said that we have been here long enough, leave the dinosaurs alone and all that...what changed?" He asks as everyone awaits my answer. I look at all of them in the eye as I sigh. "Maybe once...I believed that. Maybe once, I would have rather have left the dinosaurs to their fate and be done with it...but that's not me, not anymore. We stayed, because they needed us...I might not have liked it but I stayed and helped because it was the right thing to do. These dinosaurs don't deserve their suffering and if I left, I would have carried that shame for the rest of my life. But things have changed...Kon crossed the line. Never, have any of us, have ever...killed something for the sake of killing, and I refuse to let that monster win, I refuse to let him get away with what he did! So no, I will not cut and run like a coward while he stays here and makes slaves out of all the dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures on this island. We have fought against some of the most dangerous shit that anyone has ever dealt with...and we survived. Know why?" I ask them as they shake their heads, their eyes completely entrapped and focused on me. "Because we are survivors. That's who we are. We have fought, for our survival, we have come so far...done so much and to turn back and give up...leaves a disgusting and sour taste in my mouth. So I'm going to stay...and I'm going to continue fighting, because that is who I am!" I say as I slap my fist against my chest...leaving shocked and bewildered looks on everyone's faces. I get my breathing back as I straighten myself. "So I'm staying...I'm going to finish what we started...and I'm not leaving until Kon pays for what he has done. I'm not going to let Big Eatie's death be in vain and not go unpunished. If you guys want to leave then I'll respect your decision but that is mine."

Everyone stares in disbelief at my words, I stand before them, awaiting to hear their response and decisions. It was Yaz who stood first, her face turning to one of fierce determination. "I'll stand with you...Kon crossed a line. He has to be stopped...for Big Eatie." She says as I smile and nod gratefully towards her. She smiles back and steps closer to me, filtering her hand into mine. Sammy is next as she too stands. "Everything we have done, has led to this. I won't leave these dinosaurs to fend for themselves. Angel, Rebel, Firecracker...Pierce. They need us. I'll fight too...for Big Eatie." She says as she walks over and stands with me and Yaz. Ben and Brooklynn nods their heads before standing up together. "No other options, little hope for success...what are we waiting for?" Ben says happily before joining, we smile at his humour. "Running away isn't my thing... I'm with you. For Big Eatie." Brooklynn says before walking over to us. Kenji stands with a nod. "I made a promise to do whatever it takes and I'm going to stand by that. My dad...he went too far, he needs to be stopped...for Big Eatie." He says as I nod my head toward him, acknowledging his support. We all await Darius's response, he is the last one...the one that always stood by the dinosaurs. "How do we beat Kon?" He asks me. "Together, whatever it takes." I say back to him as he takes a step closer. "What if we lose?" He asks as I realise an eyebrow, the corner of my lips curl in a smirk. "Then at least, we'll all lose together." I say as he smiles and walks over to us. "Then I say we fight...for Big Eatie." He says proudly as I chuckle and pull him into a hug, soon enough everyone wraps their arms around us. We break apart as Kenji breaks the ice. "Ok, now that we have decided to see this through...what's our plan?" He asks as we all ponder for a minute. "You know...I think I got a pretty good one." Darius says as we turn to him, waiting for him to explain. "Ok, here's what we are going to do..."

P.O.V Change: None

Mr. Kon is walking back to the airlock, no word has come of the children's whereabouts so he has decided to return to the safety and fortifications of the Compound. He hears a beeping in his ear as he clicks the Bluetooth on. "Yes?" He questions as Hawkes's voices comes from the other end. "Still no sign of them, boss." He says which earns a quiet, frustrated groan from Kon. "Every minute we waste time on these kids, risks my deal with BioSyn. It's time we tried a new tactic." He says darkly as he pulls out his tablet and clicks the biome weather controls. Choosing the forest, he lowers the temperature and gathers the clouds together. "Let's see how well they are in the cold." He says to himself as the biome's ceiling changes images to one of dark thunderclouds. Rain starts to drop down but it gets heavier and denser...until it forms into snow.

Back with the teens, they are cautiously making their way through the forest, their eyes are turned upward as they see the ceiling change from sunny blue sky to dark, stormy thunderclouds. "What's going on?" Ben questions but before anyone answer him, rain starts to fall. Darius breathes a breath of air and sees that it is tuning misty, noticing how the air temperature has dropped drastically, he runs his arms, trying to alleviate the shivering. As the rain falls, Ryan starts to notice that it's changing as it does so, getting bigger and...whiter. "It's snow, go...run!" He shouts as everyone turns for it, trying to get out of the strong and heavy snowdrops. "Ow...that hurt." Ben says as he rubs his head of a particularly big snowdrop. As the teens run for the open airlock, a large shape comes out of the snowfall, revealed to be the Spinosaurs. Its mouth, wide agape to snatch them up.

The teens gasp in fear and turn to run the other way, only to find that Toro is behind them. The Carnotaur roars at them as the Spinosaurs screeches as well. "Split up! We'll meet at the boat! Ryan shouts as both predators lunge at them, but the teens split in half as they head off in different directions. Darius, Kenji and Brooklynn head off towards the sewer hatch while Ben, Ryan, Yaz and Sammy head to run around the Spinosaurs flank, get to the airlock and get to the boat. Hawkes watches as all them split apart but internally, he smirks at hearing what they said. "Hey boss, I found them...they're heading for the boat. Don't worry, they won't make it." He says as he turns off his communicator, the other two mercs come up beside him. "Follow the others, deal with them...I'll handle these three." Hawkes says to them as they nod and head off, Toro and Swoop following close behind. Hawkes turns in the direction where the trio went and follows after them...the Spinosaurs tailing close behind him.

P.O.V Change: Darius

After splitting from the group, we managed to get to the edge of the weather change as I look up and see the hexagonal ceiling, one side sunny blue and the other, dark and stormy. Braking my focus away from the sky, I catch up to Kenji and Brooklynn as they start coming up the vibe ripe to get to the hatch.

I get to the top and see Kenji open the hatch, the smell hits us like a dump truck, but the thing that gets me is the broken sewer bars on the drain, that wasn't there the last time we were here, what the hell happened. My thoughts are broken when Kenji holds his nose with a groan. "Uh. That is the worst smell I have ever smelt." He says with a gag as me and Brooklynn chuckle. "You'll get use to it." She says before climbing down, I follow close behind her while Kenji comes down last, closing the hatch in the process. We run along the walkways and over the bridges, following the water, if we can get to the end of the pipeline, we might be able to get out of here and get to the boat. But that is only reliant on how well me and Brooklynn know these tunnels and to see that we are experts...is a bull faced, straight-up lie.

We turn a corner and stop when we hear metal being scratched. Clattering and thudding is also heard as a Pternadon comes flying out of the darkness and lands on one of the bridges and screeches at us. "That doesn't belong down here!" Kenji screams as we all turn and run away from the pterosaur. The Pternadon flies after us but it's large size and the tightness of the tunnel is making it hard to keep itself in the air. I hear Brooklynn gasps as I look back and see her being lifted away by the pterosaur. She screams as me and Kenji try to grab her. "Brooklynn!" We both shout as we follow her and the Pternadon. Kenji leaps ahead and grabs her arm, trying to use his weight to hold the Pternadon back but it's too strong...it keeps flying and pulls Kenji along. "Hang on!" I shout out as both of them are lifted up off the ground and carried across the water, the weight is straining the Pternadon too much, which gives Kenji enough time to grab the edge of a bridge. The stop causes the Pternadon to buck forward, the centre of gravity now bearing down on its front end, causing it to fall into the water. Brooklynn is dropped by the pterosaur and grabs hold of the bridge's edge but she slips and falls. Luckily Kenji leaped over and grabbed her hand before she fell. I make my way over to them, just as Kenji lifts her onto the bridge. "You ok?" He asks her as she nods.

The moment is broken when the Pternadon comes back up onto the bridge and screeches at us, it's size causing me and Kenji to be separated from Brooklynn. "Keep going! I'll meet you at the rendezvous!" She shouts as she runs off, the Pternadon, seeing her do so, decides to focus it's attention on me and Kenji. "Let's go! Get out of here!" I shout as we bolt and run away from the irate pterosaur.

P.O.V Change: Ryan

We splitting up from the others, we decided to run around the Spinosaurs and head through the airlock. We made our way to the biome and headed towards the exit airlock, where it'll take is to the overlook cliffs and the dock. "Do you think we lost them?" Yaz asks but instead of one of us answering her, a loud bellow of a roar and screech is heard instead. "That answer your question?" Ben says sarcastically as I think for a moment. We can't keep running like this, we need to divert the mercs away from us, give ourselves enough time to get a head start. I over and see the warehouse through the trees, an idea pops into my head. "Come on, this way!" I shout to them as I run down the path and head towards the warehouse.

Opening the doors, I let them in first. "Go, hide!" I order as I enter and shut the door behind me. I run over and hid with everyone else, behind a pair of crates. "So what do we do now?" Sammy asks as I take my rifle and turn the safety off. "Now we deal with those mercenaries." I say which causes their eyes to widen. "You're not going to kill them, are you?" Ben asks as I shake my head. "No...but we can't keep going with them on our tail, if I can knock them out, we might have a chance to get a headstart." I say to them, for which they nod in affirmation. "Ben, Sammy...see those crates over there, near the door. Maybe there is something there that we can use." Yaz says as they follow her finger. "On it." Sammy says as Yaz and I stay behind, watching the duo walk over to the crates. A loud is heard, alerting us that the mercenaries are here, I pull Yaz down so our backs are to the crates. "You wait out here, I'll deal with the little shits." I hear one of the mercs say before the door opens. I glance over my shoulder and see the faint, red outline of Toro before the doors close behind the merc. I hear a screech as I carefully see the Dimorphadon fly around, landing on one of the crates at the far end of the warehouse. "Come out, come out wherever you are." The mercenary says maniacally, I see him pick up a nearby crowbar, I grit my teeth and narrow my eyes. This just got a lot harder. I look over and see Ben and Sammy, carefully getting up and moving a crate away from the door. "No, no, no." Yaz and I both whisper, even knowing full well that Ben and Sammy can't hear us.

The mercenary turns and sees the duo. "Ah! There you are." He says darkly before sending the Dimorphadon to swoop them. Both of them dive to the ground, which causes Yaz to unsheathe her machete. "No, Yaz...wait!" I whisper yell, fear laced in my voice but she is already charging the merc with a downward swing, aiming for the controller. The meece managed to pull back before he slammed his fist into her gut...all I see from there on, is red. Spotting a nearby wrench, I lift it up and vault over the crate. "Hey!" I shout to the mercenary as I throw the wrench with full force. The merc looks up for half a second before he heels back from being hit in the face. I run at him and throw a flying knee to the his chest, knocking him away from Yaz. Grabbing his collar, I pull him up and close to my face. "You just made the single, worse, mistake of your entire fucking life." I say with a growl as I throw him to the ground before mounting him.

He tries desperately to throw me off but I'm able to slip past his guard and slam my elbow to his face. I break his glasses as I hit him again and again. A cut had opened up on right brow, blood being poured out as throw a punch, hoping to finish him...but I did not expect him to catch my arm and roll my over, I instinctively begin covering and shielding my head as he gets up and swings wild blows at me. "You're dead! You hear me, you fucking bastard! You're dead!" He shouts continuously but I managed to slide my body so I'm basically under him, grab his leg and slam my hammer fist into his knee, almost blowing it out. He groans as he falls to a knee, seeing my chance, I hook the back of my leg over his head and pull down, the leverage of my foot and his probed body gave me the opportunity to slam his face right into the concrete. He shouts a scream of pure pain as he tries to hold back the blood now pouring out his nose. I unhook my leg which catches his attention, for punishment for turning towards me, I kick him in the face with the flat of my foot, knocking him out balance. Seeing that I have time to get to my feet, I do so but I did not expect him to get up so quickly and to tackle me. I grunt in pain as he lifts me up and slams my back onto a crate. The air is driven out of my body, but I have no time to get my breathing for he wraps his fingers around my neck, I feel my throat constrict and tighten...the very air being cut off from my lungs. I blindly reach for anything to grab onto or to hit him with...seeing no choice, I reach up to his eyes and drive my thumb into his left one. He shouts with pau, which loosens his hold onto. I hear ayaz shout as well what sounds like something metal hitting flesh. The merc shouts as I sit up and see Yaz, with the mercs dropped crowbar, hitting him in the back. I get back to my feet, seeing the merc grab Yaz's crowbar and pull it from her grasp, he tries to backhand her away but she ducks and throws a spinning elbow right into his groin. He falls to the ground in pain, holding onto his crotch, trying to alleviate the pain but I don't give him a chance. I kick him at the side of the head, forcing him to take a step back. Yaz follows up with a mean left hook, I move forward and throw a nasty uppercut to his jaw. Yaz swings a brutal roundhouse to his gut, which forces him to bend over. I grab him by the back of the head and drive my knee into his already destroyed nose. He falls backwards, cradling his nose and stomach as he tries to get away. I'm still surprised that he hasn't gone nap nap...or at least called for his friend. "Stay down. It's the only warning that you're going to get." Yaz says threateningly, hearing her say that sends shivers down my spine...a nice tingling that turns me on. God, you're so sexy.

My 'less than appropriate' thoughts are broken when the merc pushes himself up with a yelp of extreme pain. "Fuck...you, you...fucking...bitch!" He shouts as he pulls his sidearm out, but I had already grasped my axe and pulled it out, what happened next I don't remember, the only thing that I can recall is just swinging. Swinging at his arm. "What...wha-what did you do?" The merc asks in shock as he drops to his knees and holds his arm up...his now, handless arm. "You...you cut my fucking hand off!" He should as he cradles it close to his chest. Yaz pulls on my shoulder as I break from my 'blackout'. "You fucking asshole, you cut my fucking hand off!" He continues to shout as I gaze down at the cut off limb, his fingers still holding onto the gun. "Come on, let's get of here. We can leave out the back." Yaz says as we walk away, she bends down and picks up her machete as I shake what happened out of my head. I sheathe my axe as I turn away from the mercenary. "I'm going to kill you! You hear me, you bastard? You and your little whore!" I hear him shout, causing me to completely stop. "Ryan, don't...don't!" Yaz shouts as I turn back to the merc, seeing the pain filled but smug smile on his face. Seeing the controller out of the corner of my eye, I pick it up and move the Dimorphadon over to him, settling the pterosaur next to him.

"Wha-what...what are you doing?" He asks fearfully as I hold the controller out so he can see it clearly. With a sadistic smile on my face, I break the controller in front of him as a look of horror fills his face. Gazing back at the Dimorphadon, it shakes its head free of the control beige looking around, spotting the handless mercenary first. With a quick sniff of its nose and a hungry filled screech, it flies at him. I turn away, hearing the screaming of pain that the mercenary is going through but I couldn't care less. He called Yaz a bike insult and I just responded. I look and see that I've rejoined the others at the back door, looks of horror on their faces. While Sammy and Ben are completely shocked, I see the acceptance etched on Yaz's face. The screaming dies down as we walk out of the warehouse, closing the door behind us...all sound is cut off instantly when it closes. Looking back at the others, I give a tired sigh and a loon of apology. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have...I should have just..." I say but Yaz holds my cheeks as she raises my head, forcing my eyes to look into hers. She doesn't say anything but simply wraps her arms around me, comforting me in my distress and self loathing at my actions. Ben and Sammy follow suit as I open my eyes. "I'm sorry, I know that I promised that I wouldn't...but I couldn't let him..." I say as we break apart but Sammy shakes her head. "No, no...while I don't like that he's...you know...nothing could have helped. I'm not going to hate you Ryan for it, it might make me uncomfortable, recalling it but you're my friend and you'll always be my friend, I don't hate it for what happened." She says for which I nod gratefully. Turning to Ben, I see a supportive smile as he nods and taps me on the shoulder. "I don't condone killing, at least, not anything like that. But I won't hate you for it either... you're my friend." He says as I nod and hug Sammy and Ben, thanking them for their support. "Thank you, guys." I say as we break apart. "Alright, enough about that, we have to get to the rendezvous...did you grab anything useful?" I ask them as Sammy and Ben pull out what appears to be canisters of knock gas, the same kind that the BRADs used to use. "These might come in handy... especially with, you know." Yaz says as she points around a corner...the other mercenary is still just standing there, waiting for the other one, not knowing that he is been mauled and eaten by a Dimorphadon. Toro is standing in front of the door, made into a glorified sentry, guard dog. "Ben, hand me a canister." I ask as I hold my hand out, I feel the canister in my hand...I second guess myself before turning back to the others. Let's make it two." I say. Sammy gives me another one as I breathe a steady breath before clicking the top of the canisters. The gas starts to leak as I throw the canisters over to the mercenary and Carnotaurus. "What the? What is this?" The merc says in confusion, just as he starts to sway from the effects, he drops to the ground in a heap as Toro wobbles before falling on his side. "Ok, go, go, go." I say, the others start to run towards the jungle as I bring up the rear, relieved that we can leave this place behind once and for all.

P.O.V Change: Mr. Kon

Waiting in here the computer room, I hear my Bluetooth go off, must be Hawkes with affirmation that he has the children. "Hawkes...update." I say, I hear him sigh before speaking. "I lost contact with Kadinas and Griffins at the warehouse. No sign of the kids." He says as I narrow my eyes at his statement. The children have managed, someway, managed to take out two well trained and well paid mercenaries and all I have is just stupid updates that they haven't been captured yet...the longer this goes on, the worst it'll be for me in the end. I straighten my back before speaking calmly. "We know that they're headed for the boat, just cut them out...instead of chasing them all over the island!" I say lastly with a shout, all the frustration, useless mercenaries, vexing teenagers and my schedule being pushed back. I am getting really sick of this, those kids either give me the password or I just find another tech genius to start from scratch. It's going to make me look bad in front of BioSyn but I couldn't care less. Those kids either give up the password or I swear to God...they will suffer a date for worse than their Rex friend...that, I can promise.

P.O.V Change: Kenji

Darius and I, managed to escape the Pternadon and head out of the sewer, now we just have to get to the boat, meet up with the others and everything will be right as rain. "You think Brooklynn's ok?" Darius asks as I glance over my shoulder. "I wouldn't worry. It's Brooklynn, she's got this in the bag. We run through all the shrubbery and bushes, running through jungle is never comfortable but we have to get to the airlock, we can't stop, not until we are safe and away from here. "The airlock's just up ahead." I say as I glance back at Darius who nods his head. "I'm right behind you." He says as I turn back, pushing through some foliage as I come to a clearing at the end of a pathway. Standing out in the open, I wait and wait and...yes! The door slides open as I turn back to Darius. "It worked, now let's goi-." I go to say but when I turn...Darius is nowhere in sight. "Darius? Darius!" I call out and don't receive any acknowledgement that he heard me. I hear a roar echo over the jungle trees and the pit of my stomach falls when I recognise it as the Spinosaurs. "Oh no." I whisper to myself, dressing lacing my voice as I run back and head towards the compound. If Hawkes has managed to capture Darius, then he would take him to Dad.

P.O.V Change: Darius

I had gotten separated from Kenji, must have taken a wrong turn somewhere or lost him in the foliage. And now I'm being chased by Hawkes and the Spinosaurs. I push though some ferns, not noticing the the small rock that was sitting nearby. I trip and fall into the dirt, looking up, I see that I'm now out the front of the compound. I hear a growl as I turn and see the massive form of the Spinosaurs push it's way through the jungle, Hawkes standing close by, smiling in victory. I get back to my feet to make a break for it but the Spinosaurs had charged forward, using it's snout and tail to cut off my escape. "Darius". I hear Mr. Kon say, I turn with a gasp and see him standing, not far from me. His hands are behind his back and he has a calm expression on his face. I stare back at him with anger but with a sense of fear, I would be dumb not to fear him...one wrong thing I say or do...and the Spinosaurs will have me for dinner.

"As soon as I start making these chips for BioSyn, this...needless carnage can end." He says to me, while I think for a moment that he might keep true to his word...I know, deep down, that he'll never stop. He is no different from everyone else that we have faced. He is like Wu, everything that he does, he thinks is for the good if everyone but it isn't...it's for himself and that's it. "You are a liar...and you're never going to get that password." I say to him, anger and hate is sent through my voice and over to him. His face turns to one of a mock-sadness before gazing back up at me, a look of anger and pity. "I'm disappointed, but not surprised. Finish the job." He says lastly to Hawkes which makes me turn to the mercenary. He nods his head as the controller trills, forcing my attention back to the Spinosaurs. The Spinosaurs bears its head down onto me, it's snout just a few inches away. It's massive frame forms a large shadow, encompassing me in its darkness. The Spinosaur roars a thunderous, earth shaking roar in my face, I cover my eyes and my ears, trying to block the saliva and sound, respectively. The massive predator lunges towards me but our of nowhere, Kenji has intercepted the animal, standing with his back turned to it with his arms out open. "Stop!" He shouts which causes Hawkes to halt the Spino's advance.

I stare up in amazement and shock at Kenji's bravery, he willing put himself in the path of the largest carnivore that has ever walked, almost sacrificing himself...to save me. He looks at me with a nod before looking up at his father. I turn and see Kon staring back with a pondered gaze...that has a bit of disappointment. Kenji looks at me before running over to Kon, I watch as two converse. "I'll give you the password...just stop this...no one else has to die for this!" Kenji pleads to him which causes my eyes to widen. "No, Kenji...don't do it!" I shout but it goes unheeded, not to mention that the Spinosaurs snarls in warning, basically telling me to keep my mouth shut. Kon gazes at Kenji with a shocked and bewildered look. "You would give up the very thing, that you and your friends have been keeping from me...just to save him and everyone else?" He asks Kenji but doesn't wait for answer. "I knew one of you was going to break...in eventuality...imagine my disappointment and shame to find out that it's you. My own flesh and blood." Kon says with a sneer at Kenji who hangs his head. "But it is no matter. Now...give it to me." He demands as he holds up his tablet. Kenji sighs before speaking. "It's 'camp fam for life'...but the 'for' is the number '4'." Kenji says in a sad tone as Kon smiles victoriously before typing on the password. I wince and close my eyes, it's all over...done. "Chip manufacturing data... deleted." The tablet says as Kon's eyes widen. "What...what is this?!" He demands an explanation as I smirk, I can guess that Kenji is too. "You once said that a Kon always thinks ahead...well, my friends had the same opinion. Did you think that changing the password is all that they did?" Kenji asks rhetorically as Kon starts to go through his tablet, panic etched on his face. "BRAD-X schematics deleted. BRAD-X operation systems disabled. Drone operation systems disabled. Drone schematics deleted." The tablet says back to back as Kon grits his tow and throws it away in rage. "You deleted the files?!" He yells at me as I smugly smile at him. "You were so desperate to get the password, so desperate to get back on schedule. You might kill me in the next few minutes but at least I can go...knowing that you worked so hard, and it was all for nothing." I say to him as he narrows his eyes in full on rage and turns to Hawkes.

"Finish him...but make it slow." He says as I gaze up at the Spinosaurs. Seeing and opportunity to the and make a break for, I do so. But I did not intend for the Spino to trip me over my own two feet. "No Dad, you can't!" Kenji shouts as he tries to charge Hawkes but Kon grabs him and throws him to the ground. "You were always so eager to please...know this though, Kenji...what happens here is your fault, and the fault of your friends. To tie my hands, now watch as it unfolds." He says. I push myself away from the Spinosaurs, as it stalk closer to me. I shout in fear as it's massive hand comes down towards me, I roll out of the way, only to see the other hand come down. I throw myself back to the hand and grab hold. I back up and see the predator is now on all fours, its head and snout just bearing down on me. "Darius!" Kenji shouts in dread as the Spinosaurs roars at me again, it's teeth now just centimetres from me, I scream in absolute terror of the massive animal, this is it...this is where it ends...we had a good run...now I rest. I think as I close my eyes and await the final blow. Only to hear a T-Rex roar coming from the jungle.

I open my eyes and see...Little Eatie comes barreling towards the Spinosaurs, with Hawkes in her line of sight. The mercenary dives out of the way, accidentally throwing the controller in the way of the rampaging T-Rex. Little Eatie smashes it under her foot, freeing the Spinosaurs from its control. It hears Little Eatie coming as it turns to defend itself but it was too slow. Little Eatie bites down on its neck and drives towards one of the thicker trees at the edge of the clearing, nearly uprooting the tree. Little Eatie roars in fury and dominance at the Spinosaur. Now that I'm out of the way, I turn towards the foundations of the compound, using them as can bet as the two alpha predators duke it out. Kenji comes to my side as we watch the fight. "Hey, over there." Kenji whispers to me as I look over and see Hawkes running away, towards the airlock...guess professional courtesy doesn't cover a Rex and Spino fight. Kon, seeing that Little Eatie is now here, runs over to another foundation, hiding away from the animals.

I watch as Little Eatie dodges a snap of the Spinosaur jaws, retuning in kind with a bite on its snout. The Spinosaurs roars in pain as Little Eatie let's go and charges for the chest area of the larger dino. The force from the impact and the driving momentum causing the Spino to trip and fall onto its side, the thud causing a small tremor in the earth. The Spinosaurs got to its feet, all confusion from the chip's control is now gone, all that's left is rage and desire to dominate. The Spinosaurs gathers it's bearings and faces off against Little Eatie, roaring a threatening and dominating roar...but Little Eatie is unfazed, she returns one of her own as both titian dinosaurs charge and collide...the very air displaced by the force. "Yeah, Little Eatie! Kick his ass!" Kenji shouts in support for the Tyrannosaur as I laugh at his antics. While I'm not going to shout and scream my support but I whisper encouraging words to Little Eatie. She might not hear them...nor care, it does me some comfort. Back to the fight, Little Eatie snaps at the Spinosaurs's neck but the Spino... probably has years upon years of experience, especially when dealing with Tyrannosaurs...move just slightly out of the way and swings its claws at Little Eatie, nearly knocking her off her feet but she keeps her balance. The Spinosaurs rears it's left arm up, looking to swipe again but Little Eatie pushes herself up and bites down on the arm...the Spinosaur roars in pain but I hold my breath in worry. This is what Big Eatie did earlier and it resulted in the Spinosaurs clawing and ripping a chunk out of her neck, giving the Spino time to fatally break Big Eatie's neck. I hold my breath as the Spino raises its other arm, looking to do the same thing to Little Eatie. But to my surprise, Little Eatie lets go of the arm and moves to stand parallel with the Spino...bearing down on his arm again. My eyes widened at the genius play by Little Eatie, she knew that he would have a super at her with its free hand but she thought ahead and moved so his arm couldn't reach her, now she has control of his arm and the Spinosaurs can't do a damn thing about it.

Little Eatie bites harder and pulls with her strength while the Spinosaur roars in pain and tries to pull his arm free of the Rex's jaws but Little Eatie holds strong. When the Spino tries to move, trying to get in front of Little Eatie, she simply moves with it, keeping herself parallel to the larger carnivore. The Spino tire to swipe, bite, do whatever it can to get it's arm free but nothing it does gives it any sort of relief or aid...he is effectively trapped and I can see he is starting to panic...almost. He tries to pull his arm free but Little Eatie has decided enough is enough and bit down...hard. The crack of bone echoes, but the Spino's roar of pain was by far, louder. I see Little Eatie pull with all her might, pulling the arm and...rip.

The squelching of blood being poured out enters my ears as I gag at the sound and sight. Little Eatie had pulled the left arm of the Spinosaurs clean off. He roars in agonising pain, holding his now stumpy arm close to his chest. Little Eatie shakes herr head around before throwing the severed limb into the wall of the compound. She stares down the Spinosaurs, as he lowers his body almost in a submissive fashion. He roars defiantly back at Little Eatie who snorts and unleashes the loudest roar that I have ever heard from a Tyrannosaur. The Spinosaurs, seeing that it is beaten, lowers its head in submission before turning tail and running away from the victorious T-Rex. Little Eatie stands in the clearing, gassing around for anything else that might be a threat or challenger her...seeing nothing...she stands in dominant stance and roars victoriously, her roar echoes over the island...letting all know who is the Queen of Mantah Corp Island.

"She did it...hahaha...she actually did. Whoo-hoo! Way to go, Little Eatie!" Kenji cheers, I smile as well. She avenged Big Eatie, the Spinosaurs might still be alive but he knows that Little Eatie is dangerous, he has a memento of his encounter with her...he would be stupid to try and challenger again. Little Eatie has inherited her mother's throne and has effectively defeated all challengers...she is now Queen of Mantah Corp Island and she'll stay as it's ruler until the day she dies. Our celebration is cut short as an alarm rings and we look up to see the familiar red tinted sky and 'emergency' symbol. "Warning. System critical. Warning." The P.A sounds over as Kon joins me and Kenji. "What is this? What's going on?" He says but I don't heed him. "Again?" I say in exasperation. "Again? What do you mean, 'again'." He questions as I turn to him. "While you and Kenji were gone, the core started going haywire, and then there was this earthquake and... poisonous gas." I say fearfully as I look ahead and see gas coming out of the bush, surrounding Little Eatie, she moans in confusion before wobbling on her feet. She falls unconscious to the ground as our eyes widen. "Something has to wrong with the core...it's out of alignment." He checks his tablet and states what's wrong fearfully. "...critical. Geothermal core overload imminent. Abandon facility immediately." The P.A says as Kon's eyes widen in terror. "If the system overloads, there won't be any safe place on this island." He says as he turns back to us. "Then shut it down, Dad." Kenji says but Kon shakes his head. "I can't. The core is too unstable. It's too late, we have to go!" He shouts before running off to the airlock. "Wait, Dad, stop!" Kenji shouts as he chases after Kon.

P.O.V Change: Kenji

I follow Dad to the airlock and trail behind him. "Dad!" I shout to him as we exit out of the facility and down to the dock. To my shock, the boat is long gone and a plane is docked, the same plane that took me and Dad to Nublar. "Let's go, we have to get out of here!" I see Hawkes on the edge of the dock as he shouts out as he enters the plane, leaving the pilot, Kayla, on the dock. "Kayla! Prepare for takeoff!" Dad shouts out to Kayla who nods and enters the cockpit. "Dad, wait!" I shout to Dad as we arrive at the plane doors. "Hurry! If anyone found out I was responsible..." Dad says as the plane engines begin turning. I narrow my eyes at Dad's statement. "That's it? That's what you're worried about? My friends are back there!" I shout at him but he shakes his head. "Oh, you always let your emotions cloud your judgement. Those kids are loose ends, if we take them back to the mainland, then everything I have worked for would have been for nothing. We must protect our interest and protect the meaning of our name." He says to me as I scowl at him. "So that's you care about, huh? Your reputation, your company? Your name? It's...just all business with you, isn't it? You don't care about people...hell, you don't even care about me!" I say, pointing an accusing finger at him. "We don't have time for this, get on the plane!" He demands but I still keep scowling at him. "After Jurassic World, when you thought I was dead, did you even look for me? Did you even care that I might have been alive, or did you just write me off? Did I even matter?" I demand from him as he narrows his eyes at me. "Get...on...the...plane, Kenji." He says darkly and that is all I need to hear...he refuses to answer my question. "It's funny...Ryan was right about you. It would have saved me a whole lot of trouble if I just listened to him." I say as I turn my back and walk away from him. "Get on the plane, son!" He shouts to me but I shake my head. I look up and see, the others coming down the dock. Sammy and Ben stand to the left, while Darius and Brooklynn stand at the front...Ryan and Yaz, with their weapons in hand, stand at the right...ready for anything. I turn back to Dad with a scowl on my face. "No, Dad. I'm staying. With them...my real family." I say to him as his eyes widen...soften almost. "Sir, it's now or never!" I hear Kayla shout out of him as he glances at the plane and back to me...a pondered look on his face. I pray internally, prove me wrong...please, for the love of everything that you hold dear, prove me wrong.

His eyes narrow in anger as he turns back and enters the plane. My hopeful eyes drop into one of defeat as the plane takes off and gains altitude.

P.O.V Change: Ryan

After regrouping with Brooklynn, we asked her where Kenji and Darius are and she said that they go separated by a Pternadon down in the sewer. She said that they'll meet at the rendezvous and that's where we decided to go. We excited the facility and ran down the dock to see a place instead of a boat and Kenji and Kon talking. When Kenji said that he was staying with his real family, I nod subconsciously at his decision, this was the decider that burned the bridge between father and son, they'll never be able to come back from this...not at all. Seeing Kon leave with the plane, made my heart sympathise with Kenji...his dad just abandoned him...again. Can't imagine what that does to a person. Brooklynn walks down and comforts Kenji before turning to us. "I can't believe it." She says with disbelief as all out eyes widen. "It worked." Darius says, literally taking the thoughts that we all were having right out of our minds. "We actually pulled it off!" "Yeah, we did it." "Hahahah!" Those cheers ring out from Ben, Sammy and Yaz respectively. "Well, I'll be damned, it actually worked." I say as I holster my axe and stand beside Darius. He gazes up at me as I place a proud hand on his shoulder. "Good job." I say as he blushes embarrassingly which earns a laugh from me.

"I was so nervous when Kenji gave Kon the password." Darius says as Brooklynn and Kenji join us. "Tell me, tell me...how did he react when he saw the deleted files?" Brooklynn asks as we all wait in anticipation for Darius's explanation. "Let's just say that he literally turned pale like a ghost." Kenji quips for which gets a laugh from all of us. "That is gold, truly. I was so nervous that I thought I would set the alarm off too soon." Brooklynn says which is followed up by Sammy. "And thank goodness that we found the crates with the knockout gas in the warehouse." Sammy says as she hangs her arms over me, Yaz and Ben.

I notice Kenji down by the edge of the dock as I break away from the group and stand behind him. "Kenji." I say, getting his attention. "We did it." He says, trying to play off his hurt. "Yeah, we did...are you ok?" I ask him as he signs and hangs his head. "I don't know...but...I feel that I will be able to come to terms with it." He says as the group haters around and hugs Kenji, offering a silent promise to always be there for him.

P.O.V Change: None

With Kon gone, never to come back...the island can now finally enter a long peace. The dinosaurs free from the machinations and desires of men. Little Eatie comes too and picks herself up out of the dirt. Gazing around, she snorts out some air sniffs the air...trying to find her home's familiar scent. She heads off into the direction of the forest biome door and walks through the facility. Down in the sewer, Brooklynn fixes up the core alignment and smiles, the island is no longer threatened by an earthquake or disastrous explosion.

At one of the arctic biome doors, Sammy and Yaz escort Angel and Rebel back to the their home, the two teens watch with joy and sadness of seeing their two young friends play in the snow. A trumpet is heard as they turn and see the herd of Mammoths passing by. The babies chirp and squeal in excitement as they join the herd. King Richard gazes at them and brushes the snow of their hides before continuing on his way, with Angel and Rebel keeping him company. At the other biome door, the large feathered form of the Yutyrannus steps through as he feels the cool, familiar air of the biome ruffles his feathers. He snorts out a big gust of air as he walks to his home, a nice set-up of rocks, trees, bones of previous meals and patches of snow...making an igloo of sorts. The Yutyrannus settles himself down comfortably while also placing his head down, relaxing to the point where sleep eventually takes him.

In the jungle, outside the warehouse, Kenji gazes sadly at Toro as he walks over and picks up the controller, before walking back over to cover. Kenji breaks the controller under his foot as the Carnotaur shakes his head of the control...finally free. Toro simply snorts before walking off into the jungle, leaving a happy Kenji. "So long big guy." He whispers as he heads off to regroup with the others in the forest. Before he leaves, he looks around for any sight of the mercenary that Ryan, Yaz, Sammy and Ben said was here. Seeing no sign of the and only a trail of footprints, Kenji comes to the conclusion that the merc abandoned Toro when he came too, leaving the controller behind as he made his way to the dock. It would also explain why the boat was missing as well, not too sure if Kon and Hawkes knew about the boat, at least until they saw it missing for themselves. But Kenji pushes the thought of the mercenary away as he heads off towards the forest biome airlock.

Back in the forest, the teens are sitting down on some rocks as they gaze over the watering hole. Pierce had his spit, with Firecracker standing beside him. Grim had set himself up on the bank of the water as he drinks and snaps at all nearby fish. Little Eatie stood at the far end, near the waterfall as she drinks her fill. The Dimorphadon, Swoop, had dove down the water and snapped up a fish before he flew back to a tree to fill his stomach. All the dinosaurs were comfortable with each other and the teens are happy that they were so. Darius had suggested to let all the doors open as to let the dinosaurs fully explore, not only their biome but the entire island...though Brooklynn did point out to leave the desert closed to everyone. She had told the group that the Spinosaurs had returned to the desert and hadn't been seen since. She suggested that she lower the temperature in the biome and set up a nice little pond for the massive predator. No one was on good terms with the Spinosaur but it would be cruel to leave it to suffer.

Ben had returned with Bumpy in tow. The Ankylosaur bellowed a parting to Be as she walked ahead and drank from the watering hole. Kenji had stepped up beside Brooklynn, refusing to meet her confused gaze. He simply holds up a yellow flower for which Brooklynn stares shocked and touched by the gesture. She stares up at him with a smirk as he returns one of his own.

On the other side of the watering hole, Ryan was speaking a few parting words with Galen. "This is it, my friend. You are finally free." He says to the Giganotasaurus who moans softly and pushes his snout into Ryan's chest. "I don't want to leave you either...but you have to go now. This is your home, this whole island is your home...you can live how you want to live without inference." Ryan says as Galen moans softly and pushes his head softly against Ryan. The teen wraps his arms around the Giga's head, hugging him close. "I'll always remember you, my friend. But you have a chance now...to be what you are born to be. To be wild...and run free." Ryan says with a tear as Galen breaks away slowly, but surely turns to leave the teen. About 50 metres away, Galen stops and turns his head to look back at Ryan who sniffles and waves his hand. "Be wild!" He shouts out to Galen who snorts and roars, it echoes through the trees as the Giganotasaurus turns and runs through the forest.

Yaz, who was searching the whole tile, comes up beside Ryan and holds her hand on his shoulder. "You ok?" She asks as Ryan wipes away his tears. "Yeah...it's just...it was just harder than I thought it would be." He says, hugging Yaz close. "It'll be alright, you did what was right and now Galen can be wild like he was before all of this." She says to him as he looks down and smiles at her. "You always know how to make me smile, don't you?" He says happily, which makes Yaz smile coyly. "Yeah, I do." She says, she pushes up and kisses Ryan who returns it with equal passion. "What do you want to do, now?" He asks as they break away. Yaz thinks for a moment before smiling teasingly. "Well, if I remember correctly...you promised me a date on the beach, correct?" She says as Ryan's eyes widen. "Yes...yes, I did." He says in a lost panic. "Ok...heres what we're going to do. Meet me at the beach, I just have to grab a few things ok?" He asks, Yaz smiles at his antics and pats him on the cheek. "Don't take too long...I don't like being stood up." She says before walking towards the airlock...while Ryan towards Mae's Abode.

P.O.V Change: Ryan

Stupid, stupid...how could you forget, you dumbass? The chaos of the last few hours have really gotten to me. Running through Mae's Abode, I grab some beach towels and blankets out of her closet, dripping them into a bag to carry. I run the kitchen and pick your ingredients to make some sandwiches. I grab some plates and put the sandwiches onto them, carrying them to the living room. I filter my hand through the bag strap as I have it over my shoulder. I leave as I pick the sandwich plates.

I carefully run, nearly at full speed, out the cave and head towards the airlock...passing by the others on my way. "Ryan? What are you-?" Sammy begins to question but I run past her and the others. "Sorry, I can't talk right now! I have somewhere to be!" I shout out before running through the trees. I make it to the airlock and head down towards the beach, the sun had begun to set, casting a nice, warm, orange colour to wash over me. I get to the beach and see Yaz standing there with a happy smile on her face, she has her arms crossed and she is playfully tapping her foot. "I'm not late, am I?" I ask her as she smiles and chuckles. "No, you're just in the nick of time." She says, I press a kiss to her cheek as I set the pates down. "Sorry, but I had to grab a few things. We can't have a proper date on the beach without some towels, I didn't know if you wanted towels or blankets so I grabbed both."I say frantically as I set up the scene. "I made sandwiches, I didn't really plan this far ahead but hey, should be alright...is that everything, something's missing...I saw candles in Mae's Abode, I knew I should have grabbed them...at least the view is nice, the sunset on the horizon. God it looks beautiful. Is it good? I can always go and get something else if you think that-." I continue to say frantically but Yaz pulls me around so that I face her, she cups her hand on my cheek and she stares up at me with love in her eyes. "It's perfect...just perfect." She says that last with a quiet whisper, as she leans her lips up towards mine. I rest my forehead against hers as I lean my lips forward, locking with her own. The kiss is soft at first but she pushes her tongue past my teeth and begins wrestling my tongue. I smirk at her challenge as the kiss becomes more intense, I pick her up and lay her along the towel. Her hands wander over my back, I caress her hip and down her thigh...I break away and she smirks up at me before rolling me over on my back. Straddling my hips, she smiles coyly down at me. She seductively edges closer to me, I think that she is going to kiss me but she skims past and grabs one of the plates and sits it on my chest. "Thanks for volunteering to be my table." She says teasingly as I glower at her. "That was a dirty move." I say with mirth but she just laughs. "It's not all bad, plus I'm so hungry...thank you for making the sandwiches." She says as she hops off me, allowing me to sit up. She offers me the other plate as I take it. Settling it down, I grab my knife and cut through it like it was nothing...as well as cut the crust off. "Don't like the crust?" She teases at I playfully glare at her. "Anyone who likes crust with their sandwich is an absolute psychopath." I say as she smiles mirthfully back at me. ,The same could be said for you." She says as I laugh. "They are probably right."

We just sit on the towel as we enjoy our food, it's not the best, the bread is going a bit stale...but just being her with her, I could not ask for a better person to be here with. We set aside our plates, Yaz gets up and sits in my lap, resting her head against my shoulder as I wrap my arms around her. We gaze at the sunset, just enjoying the feeling of being in each other's arms. "So what do we do now... with everything?" She asks as I ponder for a minute. "Wherever you go...I go." I say as I look down at her, she gazes up at me and kisses me again, I return her passion but before we colan go any further, we hear someone calling out to us. "Ryan! Yaz!" We turn and see the others standing at the edge of the beach. "What?" We both shout, a little out off by the interruption. "Brooklynn got a notification...from the perimeter drone!" Kenju shouts as our eyes go wide. "Someone is coming, y'all!" Sammy follows up, just as me and Yaz get to our feet and race over to them.

We all sit high upon the cliff overlook as we watch a boat dock. "Who are these people?" Ben asks as we hunker and down and watch, I see someone moving on the back of the boat. "Someone's getting off." I say as they focus and to our shock...it's Mae. We also gasp when we see her, and to make even better...Dave and Roxie follow suit behind her. "Dave...Roxie...Mae." Sammy says excitedly. I focus my eyes and see a dark figure jumping down to the dock, even from all the way back here...I can see the similarities between the unknown man and Darius. "Brand?" I hear Darius say in disbelief as we all turn to him. "Brand!" He shouts and slides down the inclined cliff face and runs full speed towards what I assume to be his brother. "Darius!" Brand shouts as both brothers charge at each other. We all smile in relief, we are saved...Darius has reunited with his brother...Mae has returned and with Dave and Roxie in tow.

Both brothers hug as we all slide down the cliff face, as I watch Darius embrace Brand, I see another figure coming off the boat, followed by another. My eyes widen when I recognise the two individuals. "Ryan? What is it?" Yaz asks, concerned laced in her voice but my eyes don't leave the two individuals. "Mom? Owen?" I say in disbelief as I pick up speed and race towards the dock. "Mom! Owen!" I shout as I crest over the dock.

P.O.V Change: Kate Johnson

Watching Brand reunite with his brother had brought a tear to my eye...these two haven't seen each other in months and it warms my heart to see them reunite. I hop off the boat, closely followed by Owen as we walk to join Mae, Dave and Roxie...my eyes turn to the cliffs at trh end of the dock and I see small.shaoes at the base of it, my eyes wander at trying to find Ryan. "Mom! Owen!" I hear his voice and the dam, holding back my tears, cracks open. I drop my rifle and pull off the grenade slash. I see my boy crest over the dock as I see him fully. "My boy...Ryan!" I shout out as he charges towards me, I run towards him as we meet in the middle. He hugs me tightly as I just start bawling my eyes out, I can hear and feel him do the same.

"My boy, my beautiful boy." I say as we break apart so I can have a look at him. "Are you ok?" I say frantically, I see the large, faded claw marks that line the right side of his face, with the longest scartch reaching his jawline. "What the hell happened? What did this to you?" I say in fear as I trade the scar but he grabs my hand and pulls me into another hug. "I'm ok, Mom...I'm ok." Hearing him say that brings another bout of years as I hug him tighter. Finally, after so long, after so much pain, fear and doubt...my boy is alive and he can finally come home. "Kids!" I hear Roxie say as we break apart and watch the other kids reunite with their old camp counselors. I see a wild looking boy and a girl with a pink jacket barrel into Mae who skiles and returns their hug in kind. I see a young girl in what appears to be a running tracksuit, hug Roxie...they both are hugged by a very happy girl in a pink shirt. I look over and see a teen of asian appearance hold a fist out to Dave, but Dave being Dave...just picks the kid up and hugs him tightly. The young man is obviously uncomfortable with the hug but he smiles and laughs at Dave anyway.

Ryan breaks from me and walks up to Owen, the both of them hug each tightly as I hear Owen whisper to Ryan. "I'm sorry. This is my fault, I shouldn't have left you..." He says as I feel my heart squeeze at the thought that Ryan blames Owen. "No, no...it's not your fault...none of this was your fault...I'm glad you came, uncle." Ryan says which causes Owen to hug him tighter. Ryan breaks away and gestures to me, I smile and walk up to both of them...Ryan wraps his arms around the both of us, me and Owen return the gesture in kind.

Ryan breaks away from us as he walks over to Dave and Roxie, both counselors are shocked when Ryan hugs them both...I stare wide eyed and happy that Ryan is not who he was when I last saw him, he didn't want to talk or speak to anyone but seeing him now, I couldn't be anymore proud of the man that he has become.

P.O.V Change: Ryan

The reunion didn't leave anyone with dry tears...we all felt the emotions run free as we required with family, friends etc. Seeing Mom and Owen was a sight to see, I knew that neither of them would have accepted any media saying that there is no way that seven kids are trapped on Nublar and are alive. Dave and Roxie were a sight to see through, I didn't expect them to search for us too, but the deed was appreciated, by all of us. Seeing Mae had me walk up to her and hug her. She was shocked that I did so but I thanked her, for bringing them here, she may not know it, but she saved us and I'll forever be grateful. Night had fallen when we set sail for the mainland, I stood at the second floor, gazing at the island from the stern of the ship. "I almost can't believe it." I hear Yaz say, along with me turning to see her stand beside me. "We wanted someone to rescue us, to come take us away from this hell that we were left in...even after leaving and becoming trapped on Mantah Corp Island, I dreamt of someone coming to save us, or some miracle that we managed to escape. But being here now, on this boat...it still feels like a dream, like it's not real. Tell me, Ryan, is this real?" She says as I take her hands in mine. "This is real, I promise you." I say as she turns her head up at me, as I hug her close. "Ah! That's adorable." I hear Mom say which makes me jump in fright. "Jesus Christ, Mom...don't do that." I say to her as she just crosses her arms and smirks at me. "Now I know where you get it." Yaz says to me as I glower at her. "Not helping." I say with gritted teeth but she simply shrugs. "I like this one, Ryan...what's your name?" Mom asks Yaz who blushes nervously. "Oh, um...my name is Yasmina. Yasmina Fadoula, Mrs Johnson." She says to Mom who chuckles. "Please, Yasmina. I'm not old enough to be called Mrs, and besides you can call me Kate. A friend of Ryan's is a friend of mine." She says happily as I breathe a quiet sigh of relief. "I'm sure that they are more than friends, Katie." The pit.of my stomach drops when I hear Owen sarcastically enter the conversation. "Did you see how close they were before you showed up? That's more than just a friendship, I think?" He asks as I stare a hole right through him. "Not...funny." I grit out to him as he shrugs. "Doesn't matter either way...though I do congratulate you, she is very beautiful." Mom says as my eyes widen in embarrassment. "Mom!" I say as I see Yaz out the corner of my eye. She is smiling at Mom's praise. "Thank you, Mrs-...Kate, sorry. That's very kind of you". She says as Mom smiles. "Come along dear, let's have a chat...a little mother to girlfriend, bonding." Mom says as she drags Yaz says, who is more than happy to go along. I turn back to the stern and drop my head in my hands, graining at heya just happened.

"Oh, come off of it Ryan, what's the worst that could happen?" Owen says to me as I turn to him with a glare Before sighing in defeat. "Just take me back... I'd rather deal with dinosaurs than to suffer this torture." I say with mirth as Owen laughs. "It's not that bad, your mother is just curious about who captured her son's heart, nothing wrong with that. Besides, it could be worse." He says as I scoff and turn to him. "Any worse and I would have ended up like you." I say as I walk away. "Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" He asks as I turn back to him. "You know what. Living alone, in a little shack, far away from civilization...no one to keep you company but you're right hand...sure, you have no idea what I mean?" I say sarcastically, he pulls me in an gives a noogie. "Ok, ok, stop...I get it." I say as we break apart, laughter echoes over a true boat. "It's good to have you back." He says to me as I smile and pat him on the shoulder. "I'm glad to be back and thank you...for coming." I say as he waves me off. "Don't worry about it, your mother would have my balls if I didn't." He says as I crack.uo again, never change Owen, never change.

P.O.V Change: Kenji

Leaving the island was leaving me with a strange sense of longing...it was weird. Nublar...boy, I dreamt of getting off Nublar every night that I went to sleep but Mantah Corp Island...that was different. Maybe it was because I did something other than run for my life...maybe it was because I actually helped the dinosaurs, defended them from Kash...it unknowingly have me a sense of purpose. Yes, I did help...when I was told to...out on Nublar, this was different. I...matured...that is the correct word to use for the experience. I didn't see the dinosaurs as these big, powerful, bloodthirsty monsters anymore...Bumpy certainly helps with breaking that opinion, but to see Big and Little Eatie interact. Not as monsters or even as dinosaurs...but as a mother and a daughter. The babies were another reason. They were simply too cute and adorable to be called monsters, sure they are hybrids but it didn't take away the fact that they were cute...and innocent. That's what I say the dinosaurs on Mantah Corp Island, innocent. They were created...or taken, and forced to live in those biomes...just to be tested, experimented on and forced to fight for the amusement and profit of ambitious and cruel people. Looking back now, I feel ashamed of siding with Dad when it comes to my friends. They might have kept things from me but when compared to the lies and secrets that Dad kept...if i could go back in time to when I sided with him, I would have slapped myself and called him...I...an idiot. I hear someone sitting next to me, I glance over and see that it's Brooklynn. "You ok?" She asks, I look down for a moment before looking at her, shrugging. "Well, I suppose. It's...just been a long day. Good and bad." I say as she nods. "I spoke to Mae earlier, she made the call to the government. She said that they will be investigating your Dad...and that the island will come under Costa Rica jurisdiction." She says, which makes me turn to her, a confused eyebrow raised. "What does that mean?" I ask. She sighs before squeaking. "It means that many of the animals are going to be transported, either back to Nublar or to Isla Sorna." She says, while I think that it's a safe and ultimately a smart idea...but I worry for Ben and Ryan.

"Do-." I begin to say but before I can ever ask the question, she answers me. "Ben and Ryan have been informed. Ryan was angry, obviously but he eventually saw that it was logical and smart to do so. Ben...he took it a little bit harder. He said that he'll come to terms with it eventually but he can't say for certain." Brooklynn says as I nod my head. "Ben has a special connection to Bumpy, she is his closest friend...I can't imagine what it would be like to be separated from my best friend like that. Ben accepted that when we left Nublar but now...after what Bumpy went through with the chips...I don think Bumpy would have wanted to leave her behind. And now to hear this...I feel bad for him...Ryan too." I say as I pull my knees closer to my chest. "I don't know what I'm going to do." I say out of the blue...not knowing where it truly came from. Maybe it was the fact that Dad is being investigated, I feel dread well up in my stomach at the thought, if he does get investigated, then he'll do anything and everything in his power to stop himself from going to jail...I dread the thought of going back to him, living with the same man that left me to die and threaten to kill my friends. I see Brooklynn look at me sadly before taking my hand in her own. "I don't know what the future will bring or what is in stock for us...but we'll face it... together." She says as I smile at her, she smiles back. She shifts closer to me as I lift my arm and wrap it around he shoulder, drawing her in close. She moans softly as she fits in the crook of my arm. "You're soft, you know that?" She says as I chuckle. "And you're a bright ball of pink cotton candy." I say as she gazes up at me weirdly...I stare back as the awkward silence reigns. Her eyes turn mischievous as I realise what she was going. "Oh! That's funny...laugh at awkward compliment." I say sarcastically as she chuckles and leans back into my embrace. "It was funny...I did like it though, it's so...you." She says, which I smile at the compliment. No words are spoken as we just enjoy the closeness and comfortability of each other, just gazing at the shrinking island and cool, ocean water.

P.O.V: None

Morning had come and the teens had sat one some seating at the bow of the boat, no one speaks but they all feel so happy and relieved. The smell of the ocean and the feel of wind on their faces...no one needs to say anything because they feel it. That feeling of freedom, feeling of a burden being lifted off. Ryan sits at the back of the group as Yaz sits with her back against his chest. Brooklynn and Kenji sit together comfortably, both of them having made up the previous night. Ben sat at on the end and for the first time in a long time...has his face completely relaxed and at ease. Sammy is feeling the joy as she stands at the point of the rail with her arms in the air, the morning wind washing over her. And Darius...he stands near the railing with his brother, both of them happy that they are together again.

"We have just received word, that the so-called 'Nublar Seven's have been rescued and are reuniting with their families at an disclosed location." One reporter says as the boat makes its way into a harbour, where the families of the campers await their arrival. "Rumours are swirling, that the seven took shelter in a complex of underground tunnels that run beneath the abandoned theme park resort known as Jurassic World." Another reporter states as the boat docks and the campers make their way off and run towards their respective families. Darius reunited with his mother, both of them hugging each other close. Brand comes up behind them and hugs them both, a family...split after so long, whole once again. Brooklynn runs and jumps into the arms of her dads. Both of them refusing to let go of their daughter. Sammy runs to he father and tackles him to the ground. He laughs as he holds her close. Yaz stands in front of her mother as both of them stare in disbelief at each other. Yaz's mother reaches and caresses her daughter's hair, to see if she is real... realising that she is, she pulls her daughter into a tight hug, Yaz smiles and sniffles her tears away as she returns the embrace. Ben is being plastered with kisses from his mother as he laughs and chuckles at her antics, he hugs her tightly. Ryan walks over with Kate and Owen in tow. Yaz meets him with her mother, arm in arm. Yaz's mother is confused by what is happening but Yaz answers her unspoken question when she fits her hand into Ryan's. Yaz's mother is shocked at the reveal but quickly pulls herself back under control. Ryan walks over and officially meets Yaz's mother, she is shocked and sad at the scars on his face but she is happy that her daughter found something to love.

Kenji stands at the back, away from everyone, a sad look on his face, remembering how his dad left him behind. But his thoughts are broken when Darius drags his mother over to meet him. Darius introduces his mother to Kenji, after explaining Kenji's circumstances, Darius's mother takes pity on Kenji and embraces him, comforting him. Kenji, shocked by the action, soon hugs the older woman back, thanking her for her support. The white group, campers and their parents gather at the centre of the dock as each of the campers look at each happily and with tears of joy, relief and gratitude. Together, they all wrap their arms around each other, finally...after so long, after so much death, close calls, battles...bickering, they are now safe and the bonds formed will never...ever...be broken.

Seven Years Later:

P.O.V Change: Darius

"I used to think I knew everything there was to know about dinosaurs. The truth is, it was only after I stopped reading about them and I...we started living amongst them, that I realised...I had so much more to learn. As strange as it may seem, dinosaurs aren't all the different from you and I. At their core, they need the same things that we do. Food, shelter, even safety. But most of all, they're part of something bigger than themselves, just like we are. Whether we forge our own path, or travel in herds...none of us are truly alone. And at the end of the day, all of us, dinosaurs and humans alike are in this together. The events that happened at Lockwood manor are a perfect example of what we, as a people, should strive to stop. A friend of mine once said that dinosaurs didn't ask to be brought back, they were made because of the whims and desires of powerful and ambitious people. But to call them monsters and to use them for selfish desires is wrong, and I agree. The dinosaurs are now a part of our world, the same as lions, or bears etc. We have to understand that we are the chase of this and we need to take responsibility for them. The world, is a scary place and now with dinosaurs, it has become something that no one is truly prepared for. And sometimes, things...fall apart. No knows that better than the Nublar Seven. But how we survived, how we'll all survive...is by working together, trying to understand each other, and leaving things better than we could them. Thank you." The crowd cheers and claps as I click the pause button, ending the clip of my talk. "Whoa. Those views are off the charts. Do I have to start cleaning you superstar now?" Kenji says as I turn to him and playfully glare at him. "You can call me that, when you finally fix your hair." I say as he playfully scoffs. "I say, my hair is fabulous!" He says with a faux insulated tone as I smirk at him. "You look like a stereotypical Japanese business man." I say as he raises an eyebrow. "I am a stereotypical Japanese business man." He says as I lift an eyebrow and smirk at him. His eyes widen when he realises what I'm implying. "Oh, dude! That's disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself." He says as I laugh. "I know, I kid...I kid. I know that you don't do that, Lord knows what Brooklynn would do to you if she found out you did." I say as he glares at me. "Don't even joke about that. She can be terrifying when she wants to." He says, which earns another laugh from me. My computer beeps as I see a FaceTime call coming on. "Alright, show time." I say as he gets up and stands behind me.

The screen pops up with me and Kenji...which is soon followed by Sammy. Our eyes go wide when we see that she grew out her hair. "Sammy, what a surprise." Kenji says as I wave to her. "Hey y'all, how's it going? Darius, I saw your talk, it was amazing." She says as I smile. "Thanks Sammy...I see that you cut your hair." I say as she starts to blush. "Yeah, I decided to grow it out, plus... there's this girl that moved a few days ago, she decided to help out at the ranch, so far...everything is going good, she's invited me out for drinks in a few days." Sammy says as me and Kenji smile with joy. "That's great, Sammy. Good luck on your date." Kenji says with a teasing smile which makes Sammy blush even more red. Another screen pops up and we sit shocked at seeing Bumpy, just standing there. She bellows a greeting at us as Ben comes into frame. "Bumpy, step over...I need to see. Hey, guys...how's it going?" He says as all three of us are silent. "Uh, guys?" He asks as Sammy raises an eyebrow. "Still with the mullet?" She asks as Ben backs off in mock-offense. "I say, Ma'dam Cowgirl that the mullet is staying and that they are making a comeback...I swear it." He says as we all laugh. "Sure Ben, whatever you say." I say to him as Kenji speaks up. "How's everything going on with B.U.M.P.S?" He asks as Ben shrugs. Not a lot is going on actually, many wild dinos have been moved to safe places but I did get a call a few hours ago about a dino spotting in Yosemite. So that's going on...Mae here, also found that she is expecting new company in a few months." Ben says as he pans the camera over to Mae. "Hi everyone, Ben is correct...we have received word that Pierce was spotted in the Arizona desert, he is currently being transported to our reserve here." She says as we all smile at the news. "That's great, Mae, hope everything goes well." Sammy says as Mae nods. "Thank you, Sammy. And thank you for that last shipment of meat...the Gorgosaurus were getting a bit feisty but it came just in the nick of time." Mae says as Sammy nods. "Anything to help." Mar walks away while Ben pulls the camera back on him. "Thanks for that last donation as well, Kenj. It really helped out when we needed the equipment, for the Canadian snow." He says as Kenji waves him off. "It's nothing, you and your teams are doing all the hard work, I thought I could help out again with donating some cash, anything to help really." He says as Ben nods in thanks.

Another screen pops up and it's Ryan and Yaz. "Hey guys, how's everything going?" Yaz asks as she sits on the living room couch, in the crook of Ryan's arm. "Everything going alright, how are you two?" Ben asks them as they smile. "Everything is going great. Ryan got a promotion to a Sergeant of S.W.A.T and is now leading a team of his own." Yaz says as our eyes widen, I know that Ryan told me that S.W.A.T is difficult and getting promoted is very difficult...just goes to show that Ryan is especially good at his job. "And not only that but with Yaz, she is training a new batch of students at the college and also...she got asked by some Olympic lookouts for evaluation, they were very impressed by her skills...and from what I hear, she might get in, we still got some time though." Ryan says jokingly as Yaz playfully slaps him. "Wow, that's great Yaz, you must be so happy about that tidbit of news." Ben asks happily which causes Yaz to smile. "I am very happy, while it has been a pleasure and honour to teach my students, it has always been my dream to compete in the Olympics and now, I might have a chance." She says as Kenji speaks up behind me. "Whoa. You guys certainly have been busy. Anything else you want to flex on us while we're here?" Kenji says as both their faces turn to smug. "Anything else...nah, I don't think so. How about you, Yaz?" Ryan says Yaz shakes her head and raises her left hand. "Nah, I don't have anything." It was about half a second before Sammy squealed in joy. She pulls her camera closer as I spot the reason why she squealed. "Is that an engagement ring?" Kenji asks in shock as Ryan pulls his left hand up and fits into Yaz's left hand, both rings shining brightly on the screens. "Oh my god, that's amazing, you guys!" Ben says in joy as me and Kenji clap in congratulations. "That's awesome, guys. Do you have a set date?" I ask them for which they smile. "We don't have an exact date but we do want to have the wedding, sometime in the new year...we're not fussed." Yaz says as Sammy squeals again. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh...oh my gosh...this is so exciting! My favourite two people in the whole world are getting married!" Sammy shouts as me, Kenji and Ben smirk. "So we don't count?" We all say in tandem as Sammy glares at the camera. "You know that I don't mean it...but come on! It's Ryan and Yaz!" She says as we nod in understanding.

The last screen pops up and it Brooklynn. "Hey guys. I only have a sec, I'm chasing down a lead. What's up?" She asks as we smile. "Ryan and Yaz are engaged!" Sammy shouts again as Brooklynn straightens herself and looks dead centre at the camera. "You serious? Ryan? Yaz? Is she serious?" She asks as they hold up their rings. "Oh! Oh! Oh my god...what? What? When did this happen? No, no, no, don't answer that, give me a few days and I'll be in Oklahoma, then you tell me everything." She says with excitement as we all just laugh at her enthusiasm. "Ok, ok...let's get back on track, guys. Brooke, you said you had a lead, what kind of lead?" Ryan asks, we all focus on Brooklynn, awaiting her response.

"Ok, I got a tip off about a possible dino trafficking ring in the Sierra Nevada mountains, close to Los Angeles, I was going to see what information I can get about the place and what dinosaurs are involved, but I'm gonna cancel and come to Nebraska to see you guys." She says lastly to Ryan and Yaz. "No, it's alright, you had a lead and decided to see it through, don't stop on our account. Just be careful, yeah." Yaz says to Brooklynn who nods at her reasoning, thought the statement about the dino trafficking made us grit our teeth. In the years since the Lockwood Incident, dino trafficking has skyrocketed. "Do you need help from B.U.M.P.S?" Ben asks which gets a nod from Brooklynn. "If you can spare anyone, that would be much appreciated." She says which Ben nods to. "I can leave Mae in charge of operations here while I'll come to you. Looks like I'm going to Cali...see you there." He says but we all hear someone call out to him. "Hey boss, one of the Pachy's got out, we need help at the southeast corner." The worker said as Ben nods. "Sorry, guys. Got to sign off, see ya." Ben says as we wave. "See you, buddy." "Good luck, Ben." "See you in Cali." Kenji, Yaz and Brooklynn say respectively, Ben signs off not a moment too soon.

"Ok, guys...I have to go as well. I just got a message, a source of mine just said that they are all good to go. See you guys later." Brooklynn says as we wave. "See ya, Brooke...don't work too hard." Kenji quips as she glowers at him. "I won't...doesn't mean you won't when I get back. Love you...bye." She says with a coy smile as Kenji waves, with a coy smile of his plastered on his face. Brooklynn then signs off. "Did anyone else get the innuendo at the end, there?" Sammy says which makes blush a bright red. "No! No, no, no...pfft...what are you talking about? She was just joking around...I'm sure of it." He says proudly but I turn in my chair and face him, everyone...gives a raised eyebrow of disbelief. Kenji goes wide eyed before sighing in defeat. "I'm not going to hear the end of this, am I?" He says as I shake my head. "No." We all collectively say, Kenji just sighs in defeat and hangs his head. "I'm gonna go, I need to lie down, see you guys later." He says jokingly but nonetheless leaves. "Darius, make sure that he doesn't rest too hard." Ryan quips which earns a playful slap from Yaz. "That's enough with you." She says as Ryan raises his hands in surrender.

"Ok y'all. Real quick before I go, I love you all and Yaz...I wait for the question for me to be a bridesmaid for your wedding." Sammy says as Yaz smiles and chuckles at Sammy's antics. "Oh! And care packages are on the way. Camp fam for life!" She says with a chet as we wave goodbye. "See ya, Sammy. Enjoy the rest of your night." I say as she waves is goodbye and signs off, leaving me with Yaz and Ryan. "We saw your talk, Darius...we just want to let you know that we are super proud of the man that you have become...who would have thought that the tiny kid on the dock, who wouldn't shut up about dinosaurs..." Ryan says as Yaz follows him up. "...would now stand in front of hundreds and broadcast to thousands and teach them about dinosaurs? We certainly didn't but we do now...we could be more proud and I'm sure that everyone else thinks the same." They say to me as I feel that well in my eyes. "That's...thank you, guys. I appreciate that, so much. I want to thank you though as well, you guys were always there for me...even when we butt head and disagreed on a few things...you guys stuck with me...I couldn't ask for better friends." I say, they smirk at me before speaking. "Don't let Kenji or Brooklynn hear you say that." Ryan quips for which I laugh at. "Ok, I promise I won't. I got to go, congratulations on your engagement and I look forward to talking with you guys again." I say to them as they wave. "See ya Darius." They say before signing off.

I lean back against my chair as I look over to a picture frame on my desk. It was a photo of all of us when we got back to the mainland. Our families wanted us to get a photo of all of us together, and I'm sure as hell happy that we agreed. This photo has been sitting on my desk for seven years and everyday, I look at it and thank whoever for bringing these people into my life. While I don't miss the near death experiences and nightmares from Nublar, I thank God that I got to spend my six month tenure, trapped on that island with these wonderful people. I wouldn't give them up for the world.

"Yo, Mom said dinners ready." I hear Brand as I turn and see him and Kenji in the doorway. "And uh...if you don't get down there, I can't promise there'll be any chili left." Brand says as Kenji smirks. "Unless you want to get out...the wasabi?" He says as mine and Brands eyes widen. "No!" We both shout which earns a laugh from Kenji. "Then come on then." He says as he turns away and heads down into the kitchen, Brand looks back at me as I wave him off. "I'll E down there, just have one more thing to do." I say as he smiles and walks off. I feel the ground thudding as I check my watch, smiling at seeing the time. "Right on schedule." I say as I get up and walk over to my window...gazing out at the trees...I smile when I see the neck and head of the a Brachiosaurs towers over the treeline. I gaze happily at seeing the dinosaur as it lets out a loud bellow. Thinking back now, Dr. Malcolm was right, we have entered a new. Welcome...to Jurassic World.

A.N. And...scene. That's a wrap ladies and gentlemen. Months upon months of writing and I can finally say...Six Campers and the Soldier has officially come to a close. I love this chapter, it felt real compared to what I felt we got in the show. But that's just my opinion, I hope that this chapter was a satisfying close to the story.
