Welcome to Jurassic World

"Ugh, that hurt." I groan as I get up from the floor. Everyone else is coming too. I try to move my right arm. And..."Son of a bitch." I whisper to myself. My shoulder is dislocated. "Everyone alright." I hear Darius asks. Nah dude, everyone is totally fine, I think sarcastically. I hear Yasmina going to repeat his question only to laugh without humour. Oh boy. She gets out and slams the door. "Yaz, wait." Sammy says as she crawls into the front. She runs after Yasmina to explain herself. Back in the van, I push myself onto the seat. "You ok?" Brooklynn asks worrying. "Nah, my shoulder is dislocated." I hold onto my arm as I prep myself. "Give me a sec." I breathe in and-."

CRACK!

"Fucking damn it." Fuck that hurt a lot. Darius, Brooklynn, Kenji and Ben queeze as my shoulder pops back in. "I'm good now." I try to roll my arm over, and while it hurts a lot, I get through the pain. Everyone gets out to see Yaz ripping into Sammy. " Stuck with a monster dinosaur out there and you...you-." she says glaring intensely. "Destroyed our only way of contacting someone. And lied about it. I knew it!" Brooklynn says crossing her arms. I push forward holding my arm. "Sammy, you the phone the whole time?" I question... Sammy is not a bad person, there must have been a reason. She glances between myself, Yasmina and Brooklynn, she is almost hyperventilating. "Maybe because she saw the video of the Sinoceratops, and not only that you knew about the Indominus. That's why you sneaking around Wus' lab." "I didn't mean to break the phone, I fell on it when the zipline-." I cut her off. "But you still stole it. And by the way, why were you sneaking around Wus' lab Brooklynn." I question. "I...doesn't matter. I didn't break our only way to help and lie about it. This is her fault." She says pointing at Sammy.

"I'm here to spy!" Sammy yells out. O...K, wasn't expecting that. "Our ranch was in trouble. We couldn't keep up with the demands for more meat. My folks had to borrow money from shady people to keep us afloat." I begin to understand now. Financial difficulties in workers private lives are the bane of Masrani and Jurassic World, sabotages have happen for less. "Mantah Corp want data from the inside." Sammy says. "Mantah Corp?...They're a bioengineering company, big rivals with Masrani." Darius points out. "You doomed us for a lousy company." Ben objects. "Hey...she didn't do any of this for Mantah Corp...you said your ranch was in trouble." She nods. "How bad?" I ask, I have to get an understanding of the situation. "We...were barely keeping with demands." I nod in pity of her. Her family was on the brink of losing everything. "We didn't know that the shady people were fronting for Mantah Corp...they said we would lose everything, if I didn't spy for them." People would do anything for more power, money, influence or all the above, I'm not surprised that Mantah Corp resorted to extortion and espionage. "I didn't want any of this happen." Sammy says as she faces Yasmina. "Ohh...to be stuck next to a van on Killer Dinosaur Island but hey, me too. What are the odds?" "Yaz I-." "Was it all a lie, wanting to be friends or was I just cover for you to hide your tracks."I had enough. "YASMINA." She looks at me with anger. "That is far enough, don't push it." She walks up to me with fury. "How can you stand there and be so calm about this, because of her, we are stuck out here. She lied about everything. And your going to stand there and defend her!" "Yes...cause if I was in her situation, I would have spied too." Everyone looks at me with shock.

"Look...we can't change the past. Whats done is done, we can't go back and correct it. Sammy lied about the phone yes, but that doesn't mean that we would have been any safer. The possibilities were endless. We don't know, even with the phone, we would have been safer or in more danger. I don't want to argue in circles about it so, lets move on and get to the Innovation Centre and get off this fucking island." I say as I walk off heading south.

ROOOAAARRR!!

Just great. The Indominus breaks through the trees full pace towards us, we are scream and duck for cover. The Indominus bypasses us, not interested. I hear the whirring of a helicopter and see Mr Masranis helicopter firing a gattling gun down onto the animal. The park has a plan. I notice the direction in which they are going. "Come on, it's headed for the aviary." Everyone begins to run after the dinosaur as we enter out onto a built pathway.

CRASH!!

That didn't sound good. "What was that?" Ben asks as Kenji screams and cheers for Masrani. I notice that Pternadons have escaped and are swarming the chopper. The chopper crash through the glass and explodes in a fiery boom. We all look horrified. I notice the Pternadons flying towards us. "Get to the trees, find cover." We all run. Ben and Darius pick up Bumpy as Kenji tells about the Kayak River, the entrance being near and the river would bring us out near Main Street. Everyone runs towards where Kenji pointed out the entrance. I see a Pternadons swooping down over Yasmina. I run towards it and shoulder check it, as it crashes into a tree. My arm begins throbbing. Damn it, i forgot about my shoulder. "Thanks." Yasmina says. "No worries." I reply painfully.

We run beneath the canopy to avoid the Pternadons. Yasmina takes the tablet out of Kenjis hand and races ahead. I tail behind the group making sure that they are all in front. Darius and Ben drop Bumpy as a Pternadon drops from above, they narrowly avoid it. I run beside it and boot it in the head, dazing the flying reptile. "Come on, let's go." I say as we enter the cave. A second Pternadon follows us into the cave. "Yasmina, get ready to close that door." I yell out as the Pternadon gets closer. Me , Darius, Bumpy and Ben slip through the door as Yasmina closes it, blocking the Pternadon from advancing.

We all sigh in relief. Finally, a break from the chaos. We all begin to look around the cave. Kayaks sitting in the water. Life vests abandoned. "Alright, everyone partner up." I say. "Me and Brooklynn get the CKK." Kenji says as he pulls out his shades. "CKK?" Brooklynn asks. "Cool kids kayak." He can't stop for one minute can he. "Ben, you And Bumpy go with with Darius and Sammy." I say as Yasmina looks to me questionly . "Later." She nods as she hops into a kayak. I help Ben get Bumpy onto the kayak as he sits at the bow of the kayak. I walk over to Yasmina and hop into the kayak, with a paddle we both push off, leading the group down the river.

Kenji and Brooklyn bump into us as they pass. "Watch it." Yasmina hisses. "Sorry, CKK get right of way." Kenji says arrogantly. I couldn't let him get the last word. "How about my fist gets 'right of way' when I break your teeth." I threaten. Kenji wides his eyes in fear. "Paddle, paddle, paddle." He says to Brooklynn, scared out of his mind. I chuckle at him. We all soon enter a cave pocket filled with bioluminescent algae. Everyone is amazed at the beauty of it. While nature can be unforgiving and dangerous, its moments and places like this that make appreciate it all the more. I look ahead at Yasmina, she looks deep in thought. I decide to help her. "I think you should forgive Sammy." Yasmina sharply turns back to me. "Why should I. I was an idiot to open up and trust people and now I'm paying the price for my stupidity."

I begin to wonder why Yasmina is like this, humans in their most basic instinct are social creatures, so following that logic, something had to happen to Yasmina that had an effect so bad, she closed off all interest in people. "What happened?" I ultimately asks. She looks confused. "What?" She says. "Yasmina, I know that you wish for friendship. I saw it at camp and out here. But you close yourself off, hesitating yourself, what happened that made you afraid of people?" She looks in an expression that screams nervousness. She sighs and looks at the bright walls. I realise that I've might have pushed to far. "It was junior high." I hear her say. I perk up in anticipation, I notice the sad tone in her voice, this is going to hurt my soul. "I was friends with a girl that was into athletics like me. We were close. We did everything together, do each other's hair, talk about boys, running, competing, we were inseparable." She reflects. She smiles and her eyes slowly fill with water. "Then came regional school athletics championships. The very best in the region compete. It came done to overall winner in all events. Me and my friend had been back and forth...I had won." She says. She sniffs her nose. "When I won, I went and found my friend, she was livid, she basically said that I was a glory hound that doesn't care about anyone or anything but winning. She told me to never talk to her again. The next day, at school, everyone was teasing me, bothering me until a guy said something that embarrassed the fuck out of me. The subject was something I had only told my friend about. When I confronted her, she said that everything that was happening to me, everyone picking me, I had deserved it." She starts to cry. "I hid in the athletics fields bleaches, crying my eyes out. After that, I dedicated myself to my training and promised that I would never trust someone, like I trusted my friend, ever again." She finishes, wiping the tears from her eyes.

I sit there, shocked and...pissed off. Here sits a girl, beautiful, brave and confident, but behind all that is a small girl that is hurting because of someone that she thought she trusted. She suffered for something that she shouldn't have had too. I ponder about it for a minute. "Yaz." I say calling her by her nickname for the first time. She looks at me, tears still falling. "You are one of the bravest, toughest people I know. You have this spark that you have that makes me think that you can take on the world. Don't let this girl that haunts you to hold you back from enjoying life and the people on it. Did Sammy hurt you. Yes. But is Sammy a cut copy of your former friend." I ask. Yaz thinks about it for a while and shakes her head. "I believe that you should forgive her and mend the wound I your heart. Remember...the warrior hoards his plunder." I remind her. She then smiles and replies. "But cowers at the clash of thunder." I put my hand on her shoulder to comfort her emotions and feelings.

As we pass through a tight space, we all begin to gather together and the algae seems to brighten and...move. "Uh, guys, is the algae moving?" I say as two glowing Parasaurolophus are revealed. Holy shit, never seen these guys before. "It's okay guys, they're herbivores." Darius says. Thats not always the cases, while docile, Parasaurolophuses can attack I'd threatened. "No sudden movements guys, don't want to spook em." I say as we pass by. Bumpy cries out towards the Parasaurolophuses, they turn their attention to her as they enter the water. They stand by Darius, Sammy and Ben's kayak, inspecting them. All of a sudden two more dinos pop out of the water inbetween Yaz, myself, Darius and Sammy while the other one is off besides Kenji and Brooklynn. Out of no where, the dino next too Darius, Sammy and Ben push their kayak into me and Yaz. We scream in fright. I see the one near Kenji and Brooklynn band against the side of their kayak. Suddenly they stop and look around to the sound of rushing water. They retreat back the other way into the cave. "Darius, if we stop paddling, why are we still moving." Sammy asks. I look around and see a dividing intersection. "Everyone, start paddling we're in a current." I urgently tell them all. Everyone begins to paddle their hearts. But our efforts are futile and soon we are pulled into the dark tunnel, the rapid waters speeding us through.

We exit out the tunnel to the sheer bright light. The light blinds me for a second. I hear Kenji gasp in fear. "Why did you gasp? It did sound like a good gasp." Ben says. My eyes focus as I notice the calm water, the perimeter fence, the large stands in the distance and least but not least, the shark chain, oh no. "Because it isn't." Everyone looks towards me. "We're in the Mosasaurus lagoon." Everyone gasps in sheer terror of the situation. We all jump in fright at the low growl from the deeps. I turn to see a set of scale ridges breaking the surface. The massive 200 plus foot long reptile begins to stalk us. "It's circling, testing us. It's acting like a shark, we're intruders in its domain. Until it gets confident than it will...will-." Brooklynn explains as I cut her off. "We are scared shitless already, we don't need you making us more so." I tell her as she nods. The Mosasaurus tail breaks the surface and dives down deep. "We have to get outta here." I say. "Theres a ladder by the spectator stand." Darius says as we speed paddle towards the stand. The Mosasaurus, Moses, that's his name...I remember at the worst time. As we paddle, Yasmina turns our kayak to the right, to the shark chain. "What are you doing Yaz?" I say as she gets up onto the structure. "Just keeping paddling." She says as she pushes the kayak forward. I knew what she's planning. "Yaz, what your planning is suicide." She doesn't say anything. Damn it, I paddle towards the ladder.

As I get there, I hop out and climb the ladder to see Yaz banging on the structure screaming out for Moses to turn his attention to her instead of Darius, Sammy, Ben and Bumpy. "Try and get Moses attention, we need to get him from Yaz." I say. Everyone begins looking around for anything. Moses has diverted away from the guys in the kayak, heading back towards Yaz. I see a tool kit off the side. I open it while grabbing a hammer, large spanner and wrench. I see Moses speed towards Yaz. "Hey, Moses!" I yell out, throwing the hammer with all my might. The hammer misses. Moses continues to swim towards Yaz. "MOSES!" I yell out, throwing the wrench at him, hitting him behind his eye. Moses growls in pain. He turns away from Yaz. He swims by the barrier and lifts his right eye out of the water staring at me intently. "Come on, come get me." Moses dives under and swims away getting some distance. He turns back and swims full charge, O...K, didn't think he would actually try it, this has turned into some Free Wily bullshit. "Stand clear, stand clear!" I yell out to the others. Moses fully breaches himself onto the viewing stand, jaws wide open. I throw myself to the side avoiding his jaws as he flops onto the pavement, he tries to snap at me as I drag myself away. He gives off the loudest roar I've ever heard.

RRRRRRROOOOOAAAARRRRR!!!!!

I cover my ears as I run further away. Moses turns his head back towards Yaz as she grabs onto the chain that Kenji sent over. Moses pulls himself back into the water leaving broken concrete and pieces of it falling into the lagoon. Moses swims down to gather speed for a breach. I hurry over to Kenji. "I can't make it go any faster." "I got it, watch out." I break the control panel open, their must be an override to speed the chain up. Yasmina swings forward trying to keep her body out of the biting range, however small it is. "There is no damn override, fuck it all to hell!" I slam the panel. I look in terror as Moses breaches the water to snap at Yaz. Luckily, Moses misses and snaps the chain, swinging Yaz down towards the side of us, she lets go and lands horribly on her ankle. She cries out in pain.

"YASMINA!" I yell out, running full speed towards her. She is holding onto her ankle in deep pain. "I'm alright, I think." She says quietly, breathing heavy. "Uh sorry to interrupt but where did everyone go." Ben says. The place is abandoned even Main Street on the distance is abandoned. I shake my head. "Doesn't matter, we need to fix this ankle." I say quickly, worrying about the state of Yaz's ankle. "Ryan, I'm fine." She says. "Your hurt and your ankle needs fix, damn it Ben give me some bandages!" I yell out to him, who yelps and gets spare bandages out of his fanny pack. Everyone looks worried at me. "We need to elevate it, do we have any painkiller left." I ask quickly as I wrap the bandage wonky, my hands shaking. A hand covers my own. I look up to see Yasmina with both a worried and thankful expression, she unwraps the bandage and fixes it. "Thank you." She says quietly.

We waited here for several hours. The sun had began to set and there was no sign of Dave and Roxie. We searched any food or water. While I didn't hear their conversation, I see that Yasmina and Sammy have reconciled although I did hear. "I forgive you Sammy but it is going to take a while to trust you again, I won't forgive you a second time." While I'm proud of her, she will always be Yasmina. I smile at the effort that Yaz is putting in. She really wants friends and now, I think she has a real chance for life long friends. All of a sudden, an alarm blares out. I know that sound. Complete Island Excavation.
