Here's the next chapter of the Little Dinosaur Girl.
After having Val swim with Mona the Mosasaur, Wu and Owen made an agreement that Val should be carefully watched. Her gift in communicating with the dinosaurs was too great to be revealed to all. He was lucky that Wu was helping them discover Val's gift. Wu observes her very carefully as well as the Indominus Sisters. They have been growing rapidly for quite some time now. Like when one week passed, they grew twice the size of Val. This shocked Wu very much that he has to monitor them every 24 hours. Though they were well behaved...well, Iris is. Ivy always gets into trouble like the time she snuck out from the lab to go to the restaurant in the hotel. They were lucky they found her before she could cause trouble, again.
But that wasn't the problem, Child Service came to talk about Owen's irresponsibility about how he let Val in Rexy's paddock. At first, Owen was terrified that he would lose custody of his niece, but luck was on his side when Masrani came and helped Owen win Val's custody. You see, Masrani heard from Claire and Barry that Owen needs to get his niece's custody. So, he hired lawyers and detectives to find out if his brother left a will. As it turns out, he did. Oscar hid the will underneath his drawer, indicating that Owen has full custody towards Val. Owen was happy by this but shocked when Masrani was the one to support Owen and his niece since she brought great attraction to the park with Rexy. So, long story short, Owen won custody of his niece with Masrani's help and Val will live happily with Owen.
Happy ending right?
Actually, no. There was another problem to deal with.
And that is the head of security, Hoskins.
Hoskins was trying to get info about Val, trying to figure out how she was able to make Rexy docile. He's been trying to get an answer from Owen, but the protective uncle didn't answer his question as he ignored him. Owen had to make sure that Val had to stay away from Hoskins. Soon afterwards, Owen has been sneaking Val to Wu's private lab to learn more about her gift. Wu has been watching Val playing with Ingrid, the Inostrancevia, for hours as he checks on her brain-waves for any changes. So far, nothing has changed, it was the same data that was used when she talked with Mona. Ivy and Iris were hopping on Ingrid's back, enjoying the view of the prehistoric mammal's back. Ingrid was rather calm about this as Val rolled a red ball towards her, which she simply nudged with her snout. Wu was rather impressed by Ingrid's behavior. She was never this calm before, she would roar and lashed out at him. But she was rather calm when she was with Val. It was very interesting.
Wu rubs his chin as he takes down notes whenever Val interacts with Ingrid or the two hybrids. He then notices that it was lunch time, he has to get some food. He was about to get Val, when he spotted the little girl fast asleep on Ingrid's side. He was surprised to see her already asleep while Ivy and Iris were sleeping on Ingrid's back. Ingrid was still awake, keeping watch while the young ones slept. It surprised Wu very much to see that. He never seen Ingrid's behavior like this before.
"Interesting…" Wu whispers before taking a mental note.
He went out to get some food for them to eat. As he went out, he noticed Hoskins was at the lab, observing the new batch of dinosaurs being ready. Wu mentally sighs. Hoskins would go to the lab and ask him or some scientists about any new dinosaurs. He's been doing this all the time and everyone knows why, to make dinosaurs as living weapons. Wu was no fool, he knew it was unorthodocs considering dinosaurs can't be tamed as weapons, but they can be tamed to be as friends since he witnessed it when Val was with Rexy, Ingrid, and Mona. Wu quickly avoided him as he went to the elevator, but before the doors could close, a hand prevented them from closing. Wu made a blank look to see who it was.
Vic Hoskins.
Apparently, the head of security was able to spot Wu before he could leave. Wu sighs in annoyance as Hoskins enters the elevator, allowing the doors to close. He stood beside Wu as the elevator went down.
"So, Doc?" Hoskins began, looking at the head scientist. "Heard you made new dinos?"
Wu didn't look at him, not wanting him to know about the hybrids. "That's classified, Hoskins. You people should know that."
Voc scoffed. "Come on? Man to man, tell me about these new dinos." He said, urging him to speak.
"If you want to know, then you better get Masrani's permission first." Wu said to him sternly before the elevator's doors opened, allowing Wu to exit. But before Hoskins could follow, Wu quickly pressed the button to another floor, earning a yell from Hoskins when the elevator's doors closed right on his face before the elevator went up.
Wu smiles at his action and heads to Winston's Steakhouse. It's a restaurant in Jurassic World that serves high priced steak and seafood. He bought steaks for Ivy, Iris, and Ingrid while buying some vegetable kabobs for Val since Owen informed him that Val doesn't eat meat often. Wu went back to his private lab, and successfully avoided Hoskins, before going to give Val and the three prehistoric creatures their lunch, but soon stopped when he spotted Val was now awake and was reading Ingrid, Ivy, and Iris a storybook called the Three Little Pigs. Ivy was busy drooling about the three pigs, hungry for meat.
Wu enters the room, causing them to look at him. Wu stopped and stared at Ingrid. Inostrancevia shows no hostility towards him. Instead, she just stared at him calmly. But she soon stops when she looks at the foods that he brought. Seeing this, Wu carefully made his way to them and set the meat down, allowing the two hybrids to jump off Ingrid and charge at the food, gobbling it down hungrily. He sets down Ingrid's food and gently pushes it in front of her. Ingrid waited patiently as Wu backed away and that's when Ingrid eats the meat whole.
"Huh, interesting." Wu said as he gave Val her lunch.
"What is?" Val asked, eating one of the vegetable kabobs.
Wu looks at her and smiles. "Well, seeing that Ingrid is more calm around you than me."
"Why?"
"Whenever she sees me, she would growl, but when she's with you, she seems more calm." Wu explains to her.
Val blinks at him. "Oh, she always thought you were trying to challenge her." She said to Wu.
"Challenge her?" Wu asked curiously.
Val nodded. "Uh-huh, she said that you keep staring straight at her. She thinks that you were challenging her." She explains to him.
Wu looks at her with interest, finding it interesting to know about this information. "Well, can you tell her that I don't want to challenge her?"
"Okay." Val said with a nod as she turned to Ingrid, who looked at her. "Ingrid, Dr. Wu wants to be your friend, that's all."
Ingrid cocked her head to her right, listening to Val's words, making Wu interested in her behavior. Suddenly, Ingrid came towards him with an open jaw. But before the lead scientist could do anything, Ingrid gave Wu a slobbery lick on his cheek, surprising him in the process. Well...this is a new development.
"Interesting…" Wu mutters, whipping off the saliva off his face with his handkerchief.
Val giggles at him. "She likes you!" She said happily.
Wu smiles at her. "So it seems." He said.
Soon, Wu took Val and the hybrids back to Owen- who finished his work- and headed home. But before they did, Wu asked Owen a favor. He wanted to observe Val with the Velociraptors. At first, Owen wanted to disagree, but part of him was curious about how the raptors will react when they see Val again. So, with some hesitation, Owen agrees with Wu's favor, but they have to do it tonight. To prevent any suspicion from Hoskins. Wu accepted this as they will meet at the raptor paddock at eight pm.
Even though it was past Val's bedtime, she couldn't sleep because her uncle said that they're going to the raptor paddock again. She was so excited that she packed extra oreos for them. At night, Owen and Val reached the paddock with the hybrids and Wu. The lead scientist sets up the equipment near the paddock and waits for the Grady's to come. And when they did, Wu was surprised to see Val wearing a raptor onesie. Wu looks at her and then to Owen.
"Why is she-"
"Just in case, trust me." Owen said to him before walking up the gate. "Come on, let's do this."
Wu nodded as they went to the opened gate. Owen carefully opened the lights of the paddock, giving them light. Owen made sure that the security cameras were off. He asked Lowery for some favors, making sure that Calire or Hoskins couldn't find out. Suddenly, Owen saw four heads that were poking out from the undergrowth, revealing his raptors. They heard the commotion outside of their den. They saw their pack leader, a stranger, and...Val!
The four raptors chirped happily at the sight of the little girl as they got out of the undergrowth and ran up to her to the gate. Cooing at her happily and greeting her at the same time. Wu was fascinated by the behavior. When they hatched, they were playful and happy with Owen, but when they got older. They started to become...rebellious. He wonders what Val's connection to them is.
"Okay, Val." Owen began as he put the wireless brainwave crown on Val's head. "You're going to play with the raptors, okay?"
"Really?" Val asked excitingly.
Owen nodded with a small smile. "Now, when I open the gate, stay close to me, okay?"
"Okie-dokie, Uncle Owen!" Val made a thumbs up.
Owen smiled as he was about to open the second gate when Wu came over with another wireless brainwave crown but it was shaped to fit on a raptor's head. Owen points at the object with a questionable look as Wu was prepared to answer.
"This device will send me the brainwaves of one of the raptors." Wu explains to him.
"If I can get any of them to wear it." Owen mutters as Wu gives him the device.
Owen and Val went to the gate while Blue and her sisters were busy looking at Val and the new arrivals-Ivy and Iris-curiously. They've never seen them before but they smelled just like raptors. Soon, Owen took out his clicker and used it to get the raptors attention. Blue, Charlie, Delta, and Echo snapped at Owen's direction with growls.
"Hey! Eyes on me" Owen said to his Squad.
The Raptors did as they looked Owen in the eye, snarling at their alpha. "Hey! Back up!" Owen orders. His Raptors didn't obey the first time as they continued growling.
Seeing this, Val decided to help her uncle as she waves her hand in a back-up motion while saying. "Back up, please!"
And to the two adults' surprise, the raptors stopped growling and obeyed Val as they backed away from the gate, giving Owen and her enough space to enter. Wu was impressed as he took down notes. Owen was impressed by how well behaved and obedient they were towards Val. It was quick and simple, unlike when they were training with him, it takes Owen two or three minutes for them to obey or be submissive. Owen then looks at his niece, who looks at him curiously and with a smile on her face, before he pats her head gently and gives her a small smile.
"Well, time to introduce your friends to the raptors." He said before pressing the button to open the gate.
The gate opens for them to enter. Owen made sure Val was holding his hand, making sure she stayed very close to him. Ivy and Iris followed him from behind, wanting to meet the other pack members. Wu stayed behind as he observed the behavior of the raptors. The two Gradys face the raptors in front of them while Ivy and Iris are standing behind Owen and Val. The raptors were close to the two humans, sniffing the air of their scents. Owen was making sure that Val was close to him, not wanting her to get kidnapped by the raptors again. Suddenly, Blue came forward slowly and towards Val. Owen was about to stop her when Val suddenly reached out her little hand to Blue. And with no hesitation, Blue nuzzles her little hand gently, eyes closed as she purrs loudly.
"Holy shit…" Owen mutters as he turns to Wu with a shocked look. "Did you see that?"
Wu nodded, shocked at the sight before him, as he quietly said. "I did…try and put the device on Blue's head, but let Val do it."
"Are you crazy?" Owen whispers to him in disbelief.
"Trust me on this!" Wu said quietly.
Owen sighs and looks at Val, who withdraws her hand away from Blue and looks at her uncle happily. "Val, can you put this 'crown' on Blue's head?"
Being the cute, innocent, and naive child she is, Val listens and takes the wireless brainwave crown from her uncle's hands and shows it to Blue. "Blue, can I put this on your head, please?" Val asked politely.
And in an instant, Blue obeyed the child as she lowered her head, allowing Val to put the device on the beta raptor's head. Once Val somehow puts it on her with the help of Owen though Blue did growl at him, but was calmed down when she realized that he was helping Val. Once they attached it to her head, Wu activates the device to see Blue's brainwaves on the screen. He did an okay sign to Owen as the raptor trainer looked at his niece with an encouraging smile.
"Go on, talk to her." Owen encourages his niece.
Nodding, Val turns to Blue and removes her hand from her uncle's as she opens her little backpack to bring out a bag of oreos. The raptors tilted their heads at the oreos. Val opens the bag and the sweet aroma of the oreos makes their mouth water. Val took out one oreo and gave each cookie to the raptors, who hated their treats happily. Blue croons at her gently, making Val smile.
"You're welcome, Blue." Val said with a giggle.
Wu observed the screen and saw the brainwaves of Val and Blue match, indicating their communication was in sync. Wu was amazed by this discovery and quickly took down notes about this. Meanwhile, Owen was watching Val interacting with Blue and her sisters. She was talking to them like they were people. She introduces Ivy and Iris to them. Wu wonders if the raptors could accept them since they have raptor DNA in them. Suddenly, Blue lowers her head before she sniffs at Ivy and Iris. They smell just like them. Ivy and Iris chirped at them happily, greeting their pack members. Blue turns to her sisters and shrieks, saying that Ivy and Iris are their new members. Roaring in delight, the four raptors started nuzzling the small hybrids happily, accepting them in the pack. Ivy and Iris purr happily
Val giggles as she claps at them happily. Owen and Wu were shocked and amazed to see their behavior. They have accepted the Indominus Rex hatchlings so easily with no hesitation and all thanks to Val. Owen looks at Wu with a shocked expression, clearly amazed by what he witnesses. Wu was also shocked too, he doesn't have the words to say anything. Owen turns back to the raptors and sees them finished nuzzling the hybrids before Blue turns to Val and nuzzles her face gently, making her giggle as she hugs her head gently. Owen smiles at this, finding it adorable. But was startled when Ivy and Iris were being playfully chased by Delta, Charlie, and Echo while Blue stayed with Val, enjoying the little girl's company. Owen couldn't help but smile at his niece's amazing gift in talking to the animals. She has a special gift.
But he and Wu didn't know that there's someone wanting little Val's gift.
Somewhere far from the other continents was an island. It was bigger than Isla Nublar as it also has a dormant volcano. It was filled with tall trees and undergrowth. And like Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna, this island has cloned dinosaurs. But these dinosaurs are hybrids like Ivy and Iris. These hybrids were made by a mad man. He was a genius in the eyes of science, but the discovery of cloning dinosaurs and how they changed genetic coding, and turned that simple dinosaur into something extraordinary. He created and cloned thousands of hybrid dinosaurs, using them for his experiments. But he didn't stop there. If he can clone and hybrid dinosaurs, why not humans? So, to prove his theory, he hired kidnappers to find and kidnap children who are orphans, abandoned, or with families. They did and they kidnapped over thousands of children. The man started experimenting with those children, turning them into human bio-weapons. He forces them to fight each other, and if one of them loses, they will receive death. So far, the man was disappointed at the results of the failed experiments. For he believes that only the strong can survive and weak shall fall. Though he was happy that there were victors in his experiments. Of all the thousand children he had, six children were able to survive his brutal training and his experimentation. No one knows about his work, except for the people that work for him, as he was hidden from the world because he is a wanted man in all countries.
His name was Renaldo Mortem.
Mortem has a long line of criminal records. He creates illegal weapons, drugs, and sells them to terrorists, drug dealers, and criminals. They paid him a lot of money to get his items. They were strong and very powerful. They used his weapons to wreak havoc on different countries. Mortem didn't care about the innocent lives that he destroyed, all he cares is about his work and the money. Special Forces were hunting him down for years and lock him up for his crimes. But he's always one step ahead of them. Mortem has a high IQ, making him the world's smartest and most dangerous man. He made sure that the Government or Special Forces can't find him. So, he stays hidden on his secret islands that he has. But his favorite island is where all his hybrid creations are. There, he has a hidden bases with many security guards, armed with deadly weapons. The weapons he made caused so much damage that he was a threat to the whole world. He is even a psychopath as he enjoys hearing the screams of the weak, finding it his source of amusement. But he searches for something, something that he desire that can change everything.
Mortem was in his office, watching his scientists work from the screen of his monitor. His brown eyes stared as the scientists completed the next batch of hybrid dinosaurs. He smirks at this, wanting the next batch of eggs to be ready and using them for training. Suddenly, someone knocks at his door, getting Mortem's attention.
"Enter." He spoke loudly.
A man with black slightly shaggy hair and green eyes entered Mortem's office. He was wearing a black bomber jacket with a white shirt under it, grey pants, and black combat boots. He came over to Mortem, holding some papers, as the mad man looked at him seriously.
"Marco? What is your report?" Mortem questions him.
"Sir, I found info about the woman known as Alma Roxanne." Marco informs, getting Mortem's attention and interest.
"What have you found?" Mortem asked, sounding eager.
"She was married to a man known as Oscar Grady. And had a daughter named Valentina." Marco explains to him, reading the papers of his report.
"Anything else?"
"They're both dead."
"What?" Mortem questions him, catching the man off guard.
"Alma and her husband were killed in a car accident by a drunken driver. The child was sent to live with her uncle, who works as an employee of Jurassic World. And he somehow won full custody of the little girl by Mr. Masrani."
"I see…" Mortem mutters out as he looks at Marco. "Go to Jurassic World, find out more about Valentina and her uncle. I want to know everything, about the little girl, the schedules, and every security that runs that godforsaken park."
"Yes, sir." Marco said with a nod and placed the papers down and left the room, shutting the door behind him.
As soon as he leaves, Mortem lets out a dark chuckle, feeling great joy of the woman's demise. He then looks at a picture of him when he was still in college. Behind him were his former 'colleagues' as they were smiling happily as the picture was taken. But he wasn't looking at them, he was looking at a girl beside him. She has long brown hair and eyes as she smiles beautifully. That girl was Alma when she was a college student. And she was the brightest of them all. He's been hunting her down because she has something that he really, REALLY wants.
"Well, Alma, it looks like I'm going to meet your daughter, very soon." He said before laughing evilly.
And done! Sorry if it's short. Been busy with some ideas for the story. The next chapter will be soon, I hope everyone is staying safe from the COVID-19. The six experiments were mentioned in the Little Girl and the Xenomorph story. I will make more soon. But for now, stay safe.
