The Little Girl and the Ottomans
Chapter 11
Ottoman side, over the skies of Malta:
An Ottoman airship flies through a rough storm, trying to reach a base located off the shores of the island. Flying along-side it is Jenny, who doesn't have any trouble with the strong wind currents. They fly below the clouds to escape the turbulence of the storm, but they are pelted by the rain. In the distance is a large, British ship. It was anchored beside a British naval base, which glowed an ominous green due to the storm. Inside the airship were the rest of Engi's team. While everyone was doing fine, Scout was puking into a trash can because of the turbulence he had experienced.
"We just had to fly directly into the storm," Scout said sarcastically.
"Maybe we entered an artificial storm created by the scientist," Tracker told him.
"Pff, like a Brit would manage to control the weather," Scout retorted.
"Hey, everyone has a chance at finding a way to do it. You may never know," Engi stated.
"Wait, why did you suddenly start talking without your heavy Moon accent," Vinç asked.
"Been practicing for a while. I felt as if someone one day wouldn't be able to understand me because of my accent, so I've been working to change it," Engi explained. Vinç slowly nodded and pulled his hat down.
"We're here," Medic, who was flying the airship, told everyone, including Jenny via radio. A new voice came onto the radio. It sounded much more British then the other ones.
"Halt your airship. Speak who you are or we will shoot you down."
"We are members of Skyway Patrol. We've come to speak with Sir Jonathan Campbell about a current predicament we have," Medic explained to the radioman. A sigh could be heard from the radio as the man allowed them to land. The airship touched down on a landing pad and everyone got out. Jenny landed beside them...though with a coat of rust. Seeing this, she quickly unfurled an umbrella from her hand and got rid of the rust. A couple of soldiers caught up to them and escorted them into the base. The smell of machinery filled their nostrils as they entered a room. Inside the room was a machine, which seemed to be the cause of the storm bearing overhead. Standing on a walkway was the man they were looking for, Jonathan Campbell.
Jonathan has grey, short hair, which reveals his thin but menacing face. He has piercing black eyes and a scar running from his left cheek to his nose. Despite being shorter than most of the people in the room, he had a more sturdy frame.
"Welcome. I'm going to assume that Darumai sent you here to speak to me," Jonathan questioned. The predators simply looked away as Engi uncovered his face from the hood he wore.
"Well, uh...you see, he is...uh-"
"Dead?" Engi slowly nodded. "I see. He was a good man, but who leads Skyway Patrol now," Jonathan asked.
"Uh, Shifu does now," Vinç stated.
"Hm...anyways, what has he sent you here for?"
"He wanted us to find out where this Tai-Lung guy is," Peygamber told him.
"Tai-Lung!? I thought he was dead," Jonathan said in surprise. He quickly went towards a computer, showing them the weather patterns of the world. "Well, for some odd reason, a large storm seems to always be over him at all times...but it's too large for me to pinpoint an exact location. However, I do think there is someone that knows of his location." He then brung up an image of said person. It appears to be a chameleon humal.
"Prieto. The mob boss of Pernik, Bulgaria. He owns the town right now, and he's built himself a casino empire. The law tried to stop him, but his security is as tight as Fort Knox, well, when it was used," Jonathan explained.
"You think he knows where Tai-Lung is," Jenny questioned.
"I don't think, I know! Prieto and Tai-Lung were sorta like partners-in-crime back in the day. Each one had placed GPS's on each other to know where they went, and I'm sure they still have them," Jonathan exclaimed.
"Then we better get going. The sooner we get to Prieto, the sooner we get to Tai-Lung," Yılan stated. Jonathan nodded before looking at Jenny.
"It's good to have you back Jenny. The world needs you now more than ever." Jenny smiled before rubbing the back of her head a bit before the others rush out of the room. Jenny nodded to him and he nodded back, and she bolted out. Unfurling her umbrella again, she entered the airship, not wanting to get rusty again, and they took off to their destination, Pernik, Bulgaria.
Jurassic World side, Command Center Heli Pad:
Everyone stood around a pile of rocks, which Val says are the rocks used to create the portal. Val was currently putting the rocks in the formation needed to create the portal.
"Are you sure these are the rocks used to create the portal," Mike questioned the girl.
"Well, duh. What makes you think she'll bring home a bunch of normal looking rocks? Unless they were magical, as these are," Dark told him.
"Alright...hm." Quinn approached the rocks before looking at the largest one. On the surface of the rock is an "X" marking on it. She pushed it with her finger, which caused the rocks to start flying into place to create the portal. Mike, Owen, and Claire were shocked. Shade tilted her head a little as she approached the portal, sniffing at it before turning to Val and going to her side.
"Are you guys coming or what, last one there has to make kebabs when we get back home," Damien exclaimed before jumping into the portal, followed by Val, Shade, Quinn, Aggie, and Gem. Irelia jumped in as well, thinking it was a game of some sort.
"Are we really going to do this," Owen sighed. He along with Claire, Mike, Jay, Vic, Vida, and Devlin jumped into the portal as well, ready to meet whatever is on the other side.
Ottoman side, Skyway Patrol HQ Plaza:
The soldiers were shocked to see the portal rocks, which were left alone in the middle of the plaza, activate on their own. Coming in from the other side, Val and the others came out to the surprise of the soldiers. Jay looked around in confusion.
"Uh...there's a lot of...interesting people here," he said.
"Uh, hello everyone! I really thank you for taking care of my nieces when they...uh...stayed here for a week or so," Owen said. All the soldiers looked at him with confused, obviously not understanding him due to him speaking English while they spoke Turkish.
"Don't think they understand English bud," Dark told him.
"Figured that much, we are in an alternate universe where the Ottoman Empire survived, so they would obviously speak Turkish," Owen retorted.
"What are we supposed to do then? We can't speak Turkish, well, maybe Val can, but we certainly don't," Vic questioned. Devlin rolled her eyes before casting a spell.
"Much better, are we now," Vida asked him.
"The heck did you do," Vic questioned.
"She allowed us to speak Turkish, dummy," Gem replied, sticking her tongue out at him.
"Yeah...what she said."
"Then if that's the case, hello everyone. We are members of Jurassic World. You may know about us thanks to Val here," Claire began. The soldiers finally understood them. "We wish to speak with the man working here."
"You mean, humal." Everyone turns around to see Shifu. Owen, Claire, and Vic stare at him in shock for a little bit before coming to their senses.
"Hi Shifu," Val greeted with a smile. Shifu gave a small smile back as he stared at the adults.
"Who are they?"
"Shifu, this is Owen, my uncle, Claire, Vic, Mike, and Jay. They are all from Jurassic World, like me," Val introduced them.
"I see...I welcome you all to the Ottoman side of the portal," Shifu said to them.
"Where's Engi and the team," Gem asked him.
"They're off trying to find Tai-Lung and the dragon scroll. I have no idea when they'll return from their mission," Shifu told her.
"I hope they're safe," Val said to herself.
"Man, I'm hungry! Is there anything to eat around here," Damien asked. Vida sighed in annoyance while Jay smacked him on the head gently.
"Don't mind him. Anyways, thank you for protecting my niece during her stay here," Owen said to Shifu. The red panda humal only nodded as Vic stepped up to him.
"Yeah, yeah, you know, we could really have a tour of this place. Mind showing us around," Vic asked him. Shifu rolled his eyes as he motioned one of the soldiers to come up to them. But this soldier shocked them the most. They more or less expected a human, but this soldier was a Utahraptor.
"You...have dinosaur soldiers walking around the base," Owen questioned in shock.
"What? Haven't seen a raptor humal before," the raptor asked. This shocked Vic even more.
"IT TALKS!?"
"Of course he can. He's a humal. Meet Scar. He will show you around the base," Shifu introduced the raptor.
"Oh cool! We have a dinosaur back at home that talks as well," Val exclaimed.
"You do eh? Interesting. Anywho, let us begin the tour, shall we," Scar said. Everyone nodded and followed the raptor.
Pernik, Bulgaria:
The airship landed a few miles off from the town, as to not alert the guards there. Engi and his team exited the airship and clambered up onto a rock ledge. Using his new goggles, Engi zoomed in on the casino-ridden ghost town. Guards patrolled the area, making sure the town as highly secure. But they're definitely no problem for them. In the middle of the town was the largest casino, which is where they believe Prieto's office is located.
"Alright. Since none of us are technically qualified for a stealthy mission, were just gonna have to go in our own way. Sniper, take out the guards in front of the door of that giant casino. Once that's done, Demo will blow the door open with his sticky bombs, and Jenny will go in. Sniper will shoot any guards that comes into his view while your doing your dirty work," Engi explained to them. Everyone nodded and got to work. Sniper got out his sniper ray gun and aimed it at the guards. He fired off his gun at astonishing speed, vaporizing most of the guards in the courtyard of the casino. Demo fired a few stickybombs to the ground, jumping on them and exploding them, which somehow didn't kill him, but flung him into the air. He landed in front of the casino door while Jenny flew over to him. Demo fired his sticky bombs at the door while taking a swig of his scrumpy before he blew the door wide open. Jenny nodded to him as she landed and rushed in.
The light shone through the large windows as Jenny bursts into the room. Right there, at the other end of the room, was Prieto.
"What? This was the big, mysterious dude that broke into the casino. A voluptuous hunk of metal...wait a second...I recognize your design," Prieto exclaimed.
"Maybe when I knocked your block off with my fists a while back," Jenny retorted.
"XJ-9? You know, your head honcho over at Skyway Patrol may be strong, but he has WAY too many big words," Prieto said.
"He's gone now. Anyways, tell me where Tai-Lung is at!"
"Your kidding right? You break into MY place, break MY stuff...I feel transgressed and violated. Let's rock!"
Prieto got out of his chair, taking out a pair of guns from behind him, and fired at her. Jenny simply got out of the way. He went to reload, and that gave her enough time to attack. She charged at him, punching him in the stomach. That was enough to knock the wind out of him. He fell to his knees as Jenny gave a glare to him.
"I got no time for this. Tell me where Tai-Lung is," she ordered him.
"Gah, please, no more. Fine...you want to find my pal, you're gonna have to go down to Haiti and cross paths with Merasmus, and then believe me, you don't want to be you," Prieto said. Jenny only grumbled as she got a pair of handcuffs and placed them on the chameleon's hands. She led him out of the casino and saw everyone else waiting for her. Soldier turned away from them as Yılan began to speak.
"We got him!"
"Whooooooooo! Whoooo! Woo..." Demo then passed out from all the scrumpy he was drinking.
"So, did he say where Tai-Lung was," Peygamber asked.
"No, but he did say where we should go next. Does anyone here know who Merasmus is." Engi, Scout, Soldier, Medic, and Sniper all fell silent.
"...I'm gonna assume you've met him before," Jenny questioned.
"Merasmus! We've got unfinished business you and I! And by God, I'll see it settled," Demo shouted suddenly.
"Ya kiddin' mate? We fought him! Multiple times I might add," Sniper told Jenny.
"Wizard! Show yerself!" Demo continued his drunken ramblings as Medic continued what Sniper was talking about.
"He's been our number one enemy for quite some time now. That wizard got angry at us because Soldier turned his castle into a racoon sanctuary, and he's been trying to kill us ever since," Medic explained.
"Merasmus! I'll have me eye back, you shifty dog!"
"Demo! Shut yer trap," Engi told the drunken Scot.
"Let's give that wizard another beating men," Soldier said. Engi's team as they got into the airship, bringing Prieto with them.
"We gonna drop this lizard guy off at Skyway Patrol first," Scout asked.
"That would probably be a wise choice," Peygamber replied. Medic started the engines and the airship took off, heading back to HQ as a whole boatload of police swarmed the casino-ridden town.
WOO! It's done! I hoped you enjoyed this chapter! If you got an idea for the next chapter, leave a review. Who's ready for Jenny and the gang to meet Val and co. once again!? No one...alright.
