Welcome to Jurassic Kingdom!

"Hey, Alan, if you wanted to scare the kid, you could have pulled a knife on him, you know." Ellie said as she and Alan were walking up the hill away from the computer station.

"Yeah, I know, kids...," Alan said exasperatedly, "You wanna have a kid like that?"

"Not that kid, but a breed of child Dr. Grant could be interesting. I mean, what's so wrong with kids?"

"Ellie, they're messy, noisy, and expensive."

"Cheap, cheap."

"They smell."

"They do not smell!"

"Some of them smell. Babies smell!"

"Give me a break," Ellie laughed.

Suddenly, a Bullhead with the InGen logo flew over the rise and began to set down onto the encampment, throwing up dirt and dust, threatening to re-bury the bones. Alan and Ellie ran back down the hill to preserve the many years of hard work, hollering at the students to cover it up.

"Cover it up! Quickly!" Ellie ordered as she helped the students to cover the bones with a tarp. Meanwhile, Alan was already at the Bullhead cockpit, yelling at the pilot to stop the engine.

"Cut it off, will ya?! Shut it down!" Grant yelled, but the pilot pointed to the trailer, trying to tell him something. Giving up, Grant ran to the trailer and stormed in. Inside was an elderly, rounder man with gray-white hair that has receded much to the sides to expose his forehead and top, a white mustache and short beard, rich brown glasses, and a cane rummaging through the refrigerator.

"What the hell you think you're doing here?" Grant asked, agitated. There was a loud pop as the man opened a fresh bottle of champagne as he turned around. "Hey, we were saving that!"

"For today, I guarantee it." the man said with a jovial demeanor.

"Who in Oum's name do you think you are?" Grant said, approaching the man and pointing at his chest.

"Call me Hammond, and I'm finally delighted to meet you in person, Dr. Grant." He said, taking Grant's finger and shaking it.

He let go and blew dust off his hand, "I see that my fifty-thousand a year has been well spent." Grant looked like he had just met the most important person in the known world.

Ellie stormed in next, covered in dust, "Okay, who's the jerk?"

"This is our paleobotanist, Dr. Ellie Sattler." Grant politely introduced her to the man, a complete contrast from his earlier tone, "Uh, Ellie, this is Mr. Hammond."

Her face went beet red from embarrassment as John Hammond came over to shake her hand, "I'm sorry about the dramatic entrance, Dr. Sattler, but..."

"Did I just say jerk?" Ellie tried to lighten the mood with a joke.

"...we're in a wee bit of a hurry. Will you have a drink? We won't let it get warm. Sit down, sit down."

A flustered Ellie Sattler tried to make the countertop presentable while looking for a few clean glasses. "Well, uh..."

"I'll just get a glass or two-"

"Well, let me have this-"

"No, no, no, I can manage this. I know my way around the kitchen." He shooed Ellie off as he grabbed a glass from the sink and began cleaning it with a dish cloth. "Now, I'll get right to the point; I like you, both of you. I can tell instantly about people, it's a gift." Grant and Sattler sat down on one side of the kitchen with Hammond leaning against the countertop, pausing while he cleaned the glass. "I own an island, off the coast of Vacuo. I leased it from the government and I've spent the last five years setting up a biological preserve. Really spectacular. Spared no expense. Makes the one I've got in Vale look like a petting zoo. And there's no doubt, our attractions will drive kids out of their minds."

"And what are those?" Grant asked.

"Small versions of adults." Ellie answered sarcastically.

"And not just kids, everyone," Hammond continued as he began on another glass, "We're going to open in the summer of next year, that is if the lawyers don't kill me first. I don't care for lawyers, do you?"

"We, uh, don't know any." Grant and Sattler answered nervously.

"Well, unfortunately, I do. There's a particular shoe in my pebble that represents my investors. Says they insist on outside opinions."

"What kind of opinions?" Ellie asked.

"Well, your kind, not to put too fine of a point on it." Hammond explained as he started filling the glasses with champagne, "I mean, let's face it, in your particular fields, you're the top minds. And if I could persuade you to sign off on the park, you know, give it endorsement, maybe even a wee testimonial, then I can get it back on schedule."

"Why would they care what we think?" She asked.

"What kind of park is this?" Alan added.

John Hammond looked at him with an amused grin. He handed him a glass and said, "It's right up your alley. I tell you what, why don't you come down, just the pair of you, for the weekend?" He handed Ellie the other glass and sat on the kitchen countertop, allowing his legs to dangle over the side. "I'd love to have an opinion of a paleobotanist as well. I've got a company airship standing by at Beacon."

Ellie raised an eyebrow at that, "Why would you need something so spacious?"

"My executive assistant is currently negotiating with Ozpin to see if he and his Huntsmen could come and also sign up on the park. After all, I also need the opinion coming from them for security reasons aside from being insurance in case a Grimm happens to wonder too close to the park."

"Wouldn't Ironwood and the Atlesian Huntsmen be a better choice?" Alan asked, which got Hammond briefly scrunching his face before it went back to his kind, grandfatherly demeanor.

"That's already taken care of, though, frankly, James' quite the difficult man to talk with." Hammond said, confirming that Ironwood along with some very special people would be coming in spite of what had happened to the Headmaster recently. "Ironwood has the better perspective when it comes to security, but I need to have more than one Huntsman institution's opinion on the matter, so that's why I am hoping to get Ozpin and his Huntsmen on board with this."

Alan nodded, but...

"Look, I'm sorry," He stood up, "This isn't just possible. We just dug up a new skeleton."

"I could fully compensate you by funding your dig..."

"And this is a very unusual time."

"For a further three years."

Alan and Ellie looked at each other and knew this offer meant much to them and their crew as this would help cover their enormous expenses, including the paying the local Huntsmen from nearby villages for continued protection of the dig site from bandits. They clinked their glasses together and started to laugh.

"Where's the airship?" Ellie asked Alan who was at a loss for words. He clinked glasses with Hammond and hugged Ellie, laughing hysterically with her.

Weeks later...

[Play Las Gaviotas by Madacy Mariachi]

A dirty sedan pulled up to a local marketplace and dropped off a man in a red polo shirt and blue jeans, carrying a leather suitcase and a beige backpack. His outfit made him stood out in the dry tropical climate of Vacuo. He walked into the market after he quickly he paid the cab driver with some cash, following behind him was a petite, beautiful woman of small stature, wearing a whitetail jacket with a pink interior and one wide broad tail, brown pants, black gloves, and black and white boots with very high heels and multiple buttons on each side.

"Let's go meet our contact, shall we?" the shady man asked the smaller woman with heterochromia eyes of pink and brown that match like her duo-colored hair with the pink side having some white streaks. She nodded in response silently with a smile on her face since she's rather mute. Both walked to a restaurant with the music playing loudly in the background. His contact turned out to be an obese Caucasian man whose brown hair was curly and wearing eyeglasses, making him look like a computer nerd that has not spent much time outside his basement. The man's name was Dennis Nedry, a former hacker hired by InGen as a computer programmer. He's eating and conversing with another taller, slender man with slanted, dark-green eyes and bright, long, orange hair, with long bangs covering his right eye. Black eyeliner traced his visible left eye. The man wore a red-lined white suit with long black pants and black shoes. His accessories included a small gray scarf, black gloves with buckled sleeves, and a black bowler hat with a small feather tucked into its red band.

They were having a good conversation when they noticed the light brown-haired man and the duo-colored woman.

"Yo, Dodgson!" Dennis said, waving him over.

Dodgson and the petite woman walked over to the table, each taking a seat with the petite woman sitting close to the well-suited mafia boss, who turned out to be her boss and she was his bodyguard.

Roman Torchwick stood up and hugged Neopolitan as he said to her, "Glad you're just in time for lunch, Neo." He then showed her a bowl of neopolitan-colored ice cream. "I saved it for you for bringing this chap to safety."

Neopolitan beamed gleefully at that with a wink to thank him. Dodgson placed his backpack on one side and his suitcase on the other as he sat next to Dennis as he said to the fat man, "You shouldn't use my name."

Dennis looked to Torchwick with a mischievous look on his face with the mafia boss trying his best to stifle his giggles as the traitorous InGen employee did something like this:

"Dodgson. Dodgson! We've got Dodgson here!"

Nobody responded, minding their own business. Dennis said to the man, annoying him much to Roman and Neo's amusement, "See? Nobody cares. Even he and the ice cream girl don't make anyone here raise an eyebrow." He then grabbed Dodgson's hat, "Nice hat. What are you trying to look like? A secret agent?"

Dodgson grabbed a portion of 45,000 lien out of his suitcase and handed the money to Torchwick, "I hope Neo's good as your goons told me."

"Oh ha ha, Dodgson, my man...I can bet you 10 million lien that Neo will take good care of Dennis' back if anything goes wrong." Roman chuckled, "Like I say to my allies, size matters not when it comes to Neo. I advise you not underestimating her, or she will leave you deader than cold fish."

Dodgson got a brief glance of the killer instinct gleaming for a moment in Neo's brown eye that changed to pink within seconds before it reverted back to its original color. She smirked before resuming to spoon her favorite desert. If Dodgson hadn't had the impression that Neo was quite the skilled assassin, he certainly had it now.

"Cute and deadly, hehehehe…" Dennis chuckled at the near comical sight of a little petite woman managing to impress/intimidate BioSyn's head researcher as he ate more of his meal.

BioSyn was a genetics company similar to InGen, but with shadier and muddy track record. The company was known to steal ideas from other scientists. It was known as the only bio-tech company which employs more lawyers than scientists as its modus operandi had more in common with the Schnee Dust Company as it treated its own employees, especially Faunus ones like expendable assets that can be thrown under the bus at the first sign of trouble.

Lewis Dodgson, himself, began his controversial career as a graduate student at Darwin Sciences University in Atlas. He had been dismissed for planning human gene therapy without FDA permission. Later, Dodgson went from one criminal activity to another, and kept on doing experiments on genes, animals, and even Grimm in some attempts until joining BioSyn. He worked his way up, manipulated many scientist from other companies and established a network of people who work for him, until eventually becoming the head of research. Arguably his most notable crime was a rabies vaccine test conducted on farmers in Mistral without their knowledge of consent, which led to at least ten casualties.

Dodgson grabbed the suitcase and handed it to Dennis. "850,000 Lien. On delivery, 50,000 more for each viable embryo. That's about 5.5 million if you get 30 species out of 100 species off the island." Dennis started laughing with giddiness. While working in InGen, he ran into financial trouble and began to believe InGen wasn't paying him enough to do his job during his financial problems. So Nedry decided to accept a job from Lewis Dodgson to steal InGen's dinosaur embryos for $5.5 million dollars so he could catch up on their research.

Bioengineered DNA was the most valuable material next to Dust in Remnant. A single microscopic bacterium contained the genes for a heart-attack enzyme, or nicknamed "frost-minus", which prevents crops from being destroyed by frost, might be worth five billion lien to the right buyer. That aspect of genetics created a bizarre new world of industrial espionage that first was started at the end of the Great War. Dodgson was especially skilled at it. Six decades ago, he convinced a disgruntled geneticist to quit Cetus for BioSyn, and take five strains of engineered bacteria with her. When she walked out of the door with her suitcase, she also discretely transferred her research to BioSyn via USB chip.

InGen, however, presented a tougher challenge. Dodgson wanted more than just bacterial DNA; he wanted frozen embryos. InGen guarded its embryos with the most elaborate security measures rivaling that of the most advanced Atlesian military laboratories. To obtain them, he needed an InGen employee who had access to the embryos, who was willing to steal them, and who could defeat the security. Such a person was not easy to find.

Dodgson had finally located a susceptible InGen employee earlier in the year, who was none other than the man sitting beside him now. While Dennis had no access to genetic material, Dodgson kept in contact, meeting the man monthly at Panera's in Vale, helping him in small ways. And now that InGen was inviting inspectors and Huntsmen to visit the island, it was the moment that he had been waiting for. It meant his man would have access to embryos. With the financial backing of the Torchwick Foundation, a former nonprofit charity organization turned underground criminal enterprise, and reinforcement in the form of Torchwick's skilled bodyguard, the chances to successfully pull the heist off has increased exponentially.

"Oh, I'll get them all!" Dennis said. "Or actually 30 out of 170 species."

That raised Dodgson, Torchwick, and even Neo's eyebrows as none of them were told about the info prior.

"170? Are you trying to pull a leg on me?" Dodgson questioned.

"Hey, I just got the email last night. Apparently they got more of them settled along with the flying dinos, ocean-swimming ones and some Cenozoic critters and many more a week ago. The email is an update that most have settled into their new enclosures," Dennis quickly explained, which had the rest of them having their jaws unhinged. "And he's going to include the Oceanus Rex so that would bring it to around 60 specimens." That had their eyes bugged out of their skulls.

"Monty damned Oum...Hammond's more or less going all out." Dodgson couldn't believe it. "And in such a short notice."

Torchwick whistled out of shocked respect as he lit up his cigar, "The old badger is not holding any punches back this time. Looks like he has the balls to put all of his bets into his park and his bigger-than-life attractions to please his critics if he's resorting to bring the Sea Titan into it."

"Yeah...that means Dennis can still only bring a small number of them. The marine animals, especially the O. Rex, is out of the option." Dodgson remarked.

"Can he bring 30?" Torchwick suggested. Some of the illegal sources that the Torchwick Foundation relied upon was gladiatoral dungeon fights. The fights between beast vs. beast, Grimm vs. Grimm, and beast vs. Grimm were highly popular and in current demand along with the newest demand for new more exotic and bloodthirsty beasts to heighten up the danger level and excitement. With newer beasts comes fresh fights to draw in larger attendance numbers and bigger cash flow for profit. That was one of the reasons why Roman agreed to this deal clandestinely under Cinder's nose with the other being he would need an army of his own for insurance should his current alliance with Cinder and her mysterious master come to an end, or she finds his usefulness ended. That's why he's doing this meeting with his ally in BioSyn and Dennis Nedry under the cover that he's on a business meeting with his own subordinates in charge of the Torchwick operations in Vacuo, which was true.

"30 is already pushing it because that is already at the very limit. Any further, then the canister I have won't be able to store them." Dodgson stated. "Speaking of which, Dennis, we need the embryos back alive. Remember that. They're of no use to us if they don't survive."

"How am I supposed to transport them? You mention something about a canister." Dennis asked curiously.

Dodgson brought out a large can of shaving cream from his backpack. "The bottom screws open. It's cool and compartmentalized inside. Customs can come and even check it inside if they want to." He screws the top back on.

"That's great. Lemme see." Dennis grabbed the can and squeezed out some cream onto his hand. He handed the can to Torchwick who squeezed out a small amount for himself. He applied onto his chin.

"Neo, get the shaver in my pocket." Torchwick said. Neo got a shaver and stroked it across his cheek onto his chin.

"There's enough coolant inside for forty-eight hours."

"No menthol?" Dennis joked.

"That would've sweetened the deal." Roman whispered jokingly to Neo, who then lightly smacked him on his bowler hat.

"The embryos have to be back in Esperanza by then."

Dennis looked at Dodgson seriously, "That's up to your informant and Mr. Torchie's guys on the boat. 7'o clock tomorrow night on the East Dock. They better get it right because the last thing they want is to get locked in when the gate closes at 9 pm with the O. Rex surfacing."

"I'll let them know about the change in situation ASAP. Just make sure you don't keep them waiting any longer than they have to. Alright, apart from that, how are planning to get past through tight security?" Roman asked with Neo finished shaving his chin with the cream wiped off. He lit up another cigar to his mouth and puffed out a stream of smoke. "Don't get me wrong. Neo will certainly help you, more than capable of wreaking the tin cans subtly, but she can only do so much when security has cameras, and androids at every corner."

"Oh, I've got an eighteen-minute window. Eighteen minutes for BioSyn to catch up on ten years of research. Thus, in return, you get your exotic monsters that would bring in millions upon millions of lien from a lot more customers in the future into your pockets." Dennis said.

The server walked over to the table and handed them a check receipt. Dennis looked questioningly at Dodgson and Torchwick, "Don't get cheap on me, fellas. That was Hammond's mistake." Dodgson examined the bill.

A large InGen airship flew over the ocean. It was designed almost like a flying luxury cruise with two more levels on top of the bottommost and first level were built with luxurious cabins and a main suite to fit more passengers. The topmost cabin near the control room of the ship was more exclusive to the high, very affluential figures and staff. The main suite was designed to combine the aspects of an elaborate dining room and a living room in a mansion. The huge room was designed to have a drinking bar, a pool table, fancy tables, five couches enough to fit four to seven people, and a high-def TV set.

Inside the main suite were Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Team CFVY, and later Sun and Neptune's own, which comprised of Sage Ayana and Scarlet David (Team SSSN). They weren't the only ones, however, as there were Atlesian soldiers that were mostly standing around to make sure nothing out of ordinary happened. Then there were other Huntsmen teams hailing from Vacuo's Shade Academy, Mistral's Haven Academy, and Atlas's Atlas Academy.

Team ARBN (Arslan Altan, Bolin Hori, Reese Chloris, and Nadir Shiko), Team BRNZ (Brawnz Ni, Roy Stallion, Nolan Porfiro, and May Zedong), Team NDGO (Nebula Violette, Dew Gayl, Gwen Darcy, and Octavia Ember), and finally Penny Polendina and Ciel Soleil.

They were interacting with Beacon's Huntsmen teams and for the Haven students another fellow Haven Huntsman team. Most of their attention was around the recently recovered Ruby Rose, Nora Valkyrie, and Sun Wukong. The three have healed physically from their injuries and illnesses in Nora's case. However, they didn't come out of the recovery period completely unscathed as they still bore some scars as terrible reminders of the incidents they suffered from. Ruby still has some very faint purple markings of where she was spit at and her arm and legs still bear scars from being bitten by the Dilophosaurs. However, she had suffered from nightmares and seeing random flashes of the horrific memory, which were forms of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). She now carried a prescribed bottle of Prozac in her backpack based on special recommendations from the doctor to Headmaster Ozpin for the special medical accommodation, and she would take one pill of it in the morning daily to try suppress the horror. Due to her shy nature and the horrific nature of the trauma, Ruby would rather not talk too much of it.

Nora, on the other hand, may seemed to retain her bubbly and hyperactive personality that matched her renewed physique as she was no ridden with small pox, stomach flu, and cancer, for which it was after a rather intense chemotherapy with a miraculous outcome, much to Ren's desperate relief. However, only privately known to Team RWBY and Jaune, Pyrrha, and Ren especially, she developed a more intense fear of blood or hematophobia. It was first discovered when Nora accidentally cut herself with a knife in cooking class and the moment she saw a drop of her blood leak out from her wound on her hand, she hyperventilated so much that she fainted right on the spot. The doctors determined it probably first appeared when Nora hacked blood from her throat when she coughed from having breathed in the poisonous gas. It was the last sight she saw before she fell slowly lost consciousness when she became sick. As such, it was decided on consensus from both teachers and her teammates to do their best not to show gory images that might trigger her phobia, causing her to unable to function properly. There's still debate on how to deal with her status as a Huntress regarding her traumatic mental condition that could impair her, considering the line of work for Huntress involved quite a bit of blood.

Sun, the Monkey Faunus, was the most affected physically as he still has several stitches on his body along with a prosthetic right leg to replace the one had lost. His tail was crooked and bent for the rest of his life, meaning he can't do much with it or use it to grip onto poles and his Huntsman weapon. More unfortunate was that he now grew terrified and cautious of entering into cramped tight spaces that borderlines on claustrophobia and has developed an irrational fear of crocodiles. Other reptiles, he's okay or cool with it, but crocodiles or anything resembling a crocodile...not so much.

"I still having a hard time comprehending that we're on a company airship! Let alone belonging to a CEO! But I'm not complaining!" Nora wolfed down the last of her pancakes on her plate as she and her teammates sat on a table next to the table Team RWBY and Penny Polendina was sitting in. They, too, except for Penny, were eating their own breakfast that had been excellently prepared by the best chefs that John Hammond himself had hired. They and everyone else had to wake up early in the morning and had no time to go to the cafeteria to grab any breakfast, but Hammond was prepared in getting the chefs to cook up delicious breakfast for the inspector, advisors, and the rest of his guests.

"Heck yeah! I know, right?!" Yang patted her belly after finishing her satisfying meal of ham, sunny side eggs, bacon, and French toast. "This food here on the airship is kickass and more so than what we got at Beacon!"

"And the strawberry-chocolate chip cookies are like mana from heaven!" Ruby exclaimed childishly with Zwei chomping down a cookie and barking in agreement.

"On top of that you had French toast," Weiss said as she wiped her mouth after drinking her tea, "I am surprised that you haven't been bouncing off the walls right about now."

"*GASP*! Such heresy!" Ruby pointed the finger of doom at her partner, "Anyone who even mutters a word against such delicacy that is the best thing since bread shall be sacrificed to the Cookie Monster!" And she did with such a cute pout that most of her friends laughed joyfully at the childish scene.

"That sounds so cute, my best friend!" Penny Polendina said, which made Ruby puff up her cheeks, making her attempt at defiance even more adorable than it was possible.

"Good to see that you've gotten back to the Ruby we know of," Pyrrha said.

"Of course, I bounce back in no time! I mean, I had some help not to give you guys no credit." Ruby scratched her head sheepishly.

"Some is a big understatement of the century," Weiss said with a smirk.

"Those weeks were rough that's for sure, but in the end we made it through somehow," Jaune commented.

"Agreed, it was quite the harrowing experience, a lot of confusion and distress has happened during those days," Ren said with a sigh.

"Yeah, no shit." Yang said, "You were quite the zombie when Nora was knocked out cold."

"I wasn't exactly myself. That was one of the worst times of my life where I was dead to the world." Ren groaned at how much miserable he allowed to slink himself into out of fear of losing his childhood friend.

"And you were depressed like shit," the voice came from Coco Adel, the beret-wearing, sunshade-fitted leader of Team CFVY, a team of second year Hunters, sounding from the couch where she and her teammates were sitting.

"You guys had it the hardest and it was not hard to notice." Velvet, the brown Rabbit Faunus jumped in. "Especially with Blake when I remember seeing her walking down the school so miserable."

Back then, Blake had a long talk with Neptune about what the heck happened to VPD investigation unit that got decimated by what appeared to be a giant alligator in the sewers with the barely-conscious Sun Wukong, Neptune Vasilias, and the disgraced police captain the only survivors to escape from the horror. Afterwards late at night, Blake finally dragged herself into her team's dormitory looking like she was about to rolled over. Yang noted that her usually sharp, yet gentle amber eyes had turned red and morose with the light in her eyes jaded to the point that they were hardly visible at all. Velvet had seen it all happen when her rabbit ears happened to hear Blake's feet dragging hard through the carpet.

"I was shocked to hear that too that next day when you guys told us what had happened to Sun," Jaune said to Team RWBY, as he ate his breakfast sausage, recalling how emotionally-laden and gut-wrenching the discussion was coming from Blake, who was hard hit from seeing her new friend nearly dying in the hospital from the grievous wounds.

"It was difficult for me to register that Vale could easily be infiltrated by alien organisms without alerting anyone," Penny frowned at that when she had first heard the story from Ruby.

"Yeah, we were just not having a good month, and it didn't help that I was knocked out cold for all of the drama which I learned affected my team's morale badly." Ruby said with her head down with Zwei's ears hanging low, sensing Ruby's change in tone.

"It wasn't your fault, Ruby. Well...kinda, but don't dwell on that. That's not the point," Blake spoke up as she was sitting next to Sun, "You didn't know what to expect in that alley. None of us were prepared, even less knew what those things were that suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

"But I should have listened to my guts as clearly something wasn't right back then!" Ruby whined. "Then I wouldn't have made you all depressed and worried because of me."

"Whoa! Hey Hey Hey! Chill, dudette. You didn't know how to react when you have not seen anything like those things before. You think were the only one who got jumped on by something new and totally foreign?" The Monkey Faunus pointed to his own stitched scars and his right prosthetic limb under the jeans. "Because I was totally freaking out too when I got jumped and in my case, dragged into the sewage water."

"Oh, man, don't make me recall how much trouble we were wracked with just trying to look for you and how much you stank having to pull you out." Neptune shivered at that moment when he and the police captain had to nasally bear the dank, pugnant smell from all the crap in the water.

"I mean, it wasn't easy for me either before and after getting out of the hospital to rejoin my team with all of the fun and joy sucked out of them, but that didn't stop us from trying to make the best of it." Sun remarked with a more somber smile, which comforted Ruby a bit seeing she wasn't the only one burdened with trying to keep the team together.

"Yeah...we didn't come out of that month unscathed either," Coco said with a more comforting, sympathetic demeanor, "It's like that when you're Huntress. Most days you're ready to take on the challenge, but there have been days that something unexpected will jump at you and will screw you up majorly. The only difference was knowing how to handle them."

"Even when we weren't the most badly affected of the peculiar incident, some of us grew a bit more...paranoid about walking out into the campus, especially at night." Yatsuhashi carefully stated.

"Don't remind me." Velvet's face blushed out of embarrassment as the memory sprung back in her head as to how more flighty she has become of darkened areas ever since searching through dark alleys for more of the reptilian predators.

"Damn, looks like everyone was shaken. I am glad that there were not much Grimm intruding into Beacon at the time." Yang made wiping motion of her hand across her face.

"And don't get us started on the chemotherapy." Ren groaned.

"And I had the weirdest dream of being irradiated with by the black hole and becoming the Vortex Queen, shoving Grimm right into the stinking black hole they came from!" Nora gleefully stated out of nowhere with her peers drawing a blank.

"Your pink bomber has some of the wackiest dreams I ever heard of," Coco said with a deadpanned look in her eyes.

"Like you have no idea," Ren pinched his nose bridge.

"Because you know it is true, isn't it right, Renny?" Nora said exaggeratedly.

"You sure the chemotherapy didn't mess around with her brain or something?" Neptune asked Team J(N)PR skeptically.

"I think she has always been like this." That was all Pyrrha could say.

"It could have been a lot Nor-st," Yang made use of Nora's name for her own pun, which made everyone groan and even one soldier to spit out his water.

"Yaaaannnngggg!" Ruby facepalmed.

"That's really a new low. I mean, come on! Really?" Nora was certainly displeased with her fellow powerhouse using her own name for a bad pun.

"I have no regrets about it whenever the opportunity arises for the Pun Queen," Yang shrugged her shoulders. She gave a small piece of unfinished bacon to Zwei, who easily chomped it up.

"Is she for real?" Nadir was heard grumbling.

"Anyway, moving on! I am thrilled that Mr. Masrani had talked to Ozpin about allowing us to go on a vacation like this, especially after the Vytal Festival had been cancelled." Ruby needed to change the subject and it worked with her peers agreeing with her on that note.

"It was a little unusual, but I think it's sorely needed after the fiasco we went through." Sage Ayana spoke with Teams NDGO, BRNZ, and ARBN nodding at that.

"Yeah, a nice little tropical resort to kick back and chill out under the sun!" Yang stretched her arms.

"But I heard rumors here and there that it is some kind of biological resort." Pyrrha stated.

"Biological? You mean some kinda zoo?" Velvet had a question mark pop on top of her head as she asked the question in general to anyone.

"I wasn't aware of it. Do you think it'd be mostly the wildlife on Isla Nublar?" Dew questioned.

"With peccaries, monkeys, and some of the same birds from the mainland? That sounds kinda lame when I heard from the old man it is hyped to be bigger and unusual than anything like before it." Brawnz commented while playing pool ball with Arslan Altan.

"Huh...I wonder what Mr. Masrani or Mr. Hammond truly knows about the park he'd want us to tour." Weiss cupped her chin in thought.

Within the VIP cabin room near the Control Room...

Inside a white room with blue curtains and beige gray carpeting were 13 individuals. On one side sat John Hammond on his beautifully illustrious chair made of fine mahogany, who was still in his all-white clothes and held his cane. On the blue couch next to him on his left sat Ellie Sattler, who had changed into a clean pink shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, shorts that showed off her long legs, and boots. She leaned against Alan Grant in his blue shirt and khaki pants, who was messing with his fossil raptor claw. To his left was Headmaster Ozpin in his unzipped black suit over a dark green, buttoned vest and green shirt, dark green pants, and black trouser pants, who's holding a cane of his own. Further down to the end of the couch was Qrow Branwen, drinking a bit of his beverage from his flask.

On the next couch to Hammond's right down in order sat the most unexpected person of all of them.

Ian Malcolm.

A man in his late twenties with black, messy hair and with stubbings of a shaved beard on his chin and bottom of his jaw with sharp cheekbones. His getup was almost diametrically opposite to what he normally wore; a black button-up shirt, a black leather jacket, black slacks, black dress shoes, even dark glasses.

Further down the couch was Donald Gennaro as his outfit was pure business. White shirt and red tie, grey blazer, but instead of pants, he decided on a pair of grey shorts and he was holding an off-white hat. To his right was Taiyang Xiao Long, who had insisted on being on the trip with his daughters after their rather traumatic incident with the lizards, Professor Port and Doctor Oobleck, and finally Atlas Academy's Headmaster, James Ironwood in his white overcoat, with a gray undercoat, black sweater, a red necktie, and a white glove on his right hand. His suit pants share the same color as his overcoat and are tucked into silver boots accented in gray. Accompanying him was Specialist Winter Schnee.

Ian Malcolm decided to be the icebreaker.

"So, you two dig up dinosaurs?" he asked the only two paleontologists in the room.

Ellie chuckled, "Well..."

"We try to," Alan finished. Malcolm started laughing a bit at that.

"You folks will have to get used to Dr. Malcolm. He suffers from a deplorable excess of personality, especially for a mathematician." Hammond explained with humorous snide to him.

"Chaotician, actually," Ian corrected as he put a piece of gum into his mouth and started to chew, "Hammond here doesn't subscribe to chaos, particularly what it has to say about his little science project."

"Codswallop. Ian, you've never been able to sufficiently explain your concerns..." Hammond swore dismissively.

"Oh, John, don't. Because of the behavior of the system in phase space?"

"A load, if I may say so, of fashionable number crunching."

"Dr. Sattler, Dr. Grant, and to you wonderful people of the Huntsmen Academia," Malcolm also turned his head to nearly all of the Huntsmen professors and professionals, "You've all heard of the Chaos Theory?"

Most of them answered 'No' with the exception of Ozpin and Ironwood, who answered 'Yes' with the latter being skeptical and annoyed of it.

"How could I forget about your theory, Ian? With how much you've practically pounded it into my head with every chance you got," Ozpin talked to the eccentric doctor like old friends' time and sake, which they were back in their younger years.

"Hehehe...okay okay, but let's not try to spoil it for everyone else here, especially with another Mr. Control Freak here in the room who's solely reliant on automatons to ensure any semblance of control," Malcolm whispered in a subtly mocking manner.

"I can hear you fine, Dr. Malcolm, and I'll tell you that your theory is Feilong washup as my armies have everything under our control," Ironwood sneered.

"Which is all the more likely for the Chaos Theory to come to bite you back in your steel-encased balls, the more you tighten your grip, Mr. Ironman." Malcolm half-joked back at him, which got others in the room, except John Hammond and Ozpin, laughing at his expense, much to Winter's chagrin.

"Eccentric, but I like him already! You got burned good, Jimmy." Qrow guffawed hysterically much to her further chagrin.

"Shut up you…" Winter said with her teeth clenched while Atlas' Headmaster could only clench his jaws with a lot of effort to restrain himself before he breathed out hard.

"I'll take that into consideration, Ian Malcolm. The next time you speak out in one of your scheduled seminars in Atlas itself." Ironwood said with his face barely showing red.

"I've never seen Ironwood this flustered since Glynda caught him glancing naked that one time," Oobleck whispered to Port, who chuckled without care.

"Ah...Ian's one of those few people I know of personally that can get under Ironwood's thick skin and Grimm for that matter and to live to tell his swagger, my boy!" Port praised the eccentric doctor.

"No please, Mr. Bushybrows...don't mention it. It happens to be one of my enduring charms." Malcolm caught onto that, stating humorously while the portly professor didn't mind the nickname at all. "Anyone else familiar with Chaos Theory?"

"No." Ellie answered.

"Non-linear equations?" No response.

"Strange attractors?" More silence. "Dr. Sattler, Specialist Schnee, I refuse to believe that you aren't familiar with the concept of attraction." At that, Taiyang choked on orange juice he was drinking and Doctor Oobleck was kind enough to help him properly get it down through his throat. Qrow laughed even more boisterously, grabbing onto his own gut. Then the two other Beacon teachers couldn't help, but join in on the laughter. Ozpin remained neutrally stoic with a small smirk at the edge of his mouth's corner while Ironwood rubbed between his eyes to nurse a growing migraine, feeling he just lost half of his brain cells. Ellie turned her head to hide her blush.

Winter, on the other hand, was indignantly furious with her face turning pink with embarassment,

"What would you know of being attractive?"

"I am always learning to be a more handsome Dr. Malcom. I would like to know what would be your take on the concept of attraction since you had experienced with lots of lustful suitors back in the day with your quite a control freak of a father that's running the Schnee Dust Company," Malcolm said, calmly and suavely that just caused Winter to be more flustered and angrier to the point she's trying to find the words, but couldn't as Malcolm spoke the truth.

"I-I-I...y-y-you! I am not my father's daughter!" Winter's face went redder than a tomato with Qrow doubling over with Ironwood now grasping his head in his gloved hands.

"Oh by the Brothers...looks like Winter gotten all hot and melty all of the sudden before we even reached the tropics," Taiyang joked, which only made things worse, or depending on whom, quite more hilarious for others.

Hammond turned to Gennaro, and said, "I bring the scientists and the Huntsmen, you bring a rock star," then he looked out through the cockpit window thanks to the door to the control room being opened ajar. He pointed, "There it is."

The InGen airship began it's approach onto Isla Nublar, heading for an opening in the cliffs covered from top to bottom in lush verdant rainforests. The opening became a full canyon, heavily forested. Birds, ranging from the island's native species of colorful macaws that were violet, yellow, and green to the orange-blue-billed toucans, flew out from the canopies in huge flocks around the airship with a symphony of squawks and caws sounding out all over the air.

"Wow! So pretty," Ruby said wide-eyed as she pushed her hands against the glass viewing windows of the main suite. Zwei barked excitedly at the flying flocks of vibrant birds.

"Welp...looks like we're here folks. Isla Nublar, one of the two island continents," Coco stated with a smirk. Isla Nublar is one of the two main island continents that make up the Muerte Archipelago; a unique chain of islands that have two island continents, Isla Nublar about the size of three states, Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico put together, with Isla Sorna being the largest of the two as being about slightly larger than one half of Australia; surrounded by two relatively smaller islands, Isla Mantanceros and Isla Tacano, that were equivalent in island size to Borneo and Sumatra, and the smallest, Isla Pena, roughly equal to New Zealand.

"Amazing biodiversity!" Penny exclaimed.

"Isla Nublar has one of the richest island fauna and flora found nowhere else in the world. Clearly perfect for Hammond to build a tropical resort," Ciel commented coolly.

"No kidding! I gotta get me a selfie to send to my family!" Reese Chloris quickly brought her Scroll to camera mode and put it into selfie mode to pit herself against the background of the flocks as the airship flew through the canyon.

Even the soldiers were admiring the colorful view of the birds and rainforests.

"No way I am missing out on this opportunity." Roy grinned, bringing out his own Scroll to take a picture.

"Hey, girls! Let's do a groupie pic real quick!" Nebula shouted with her teammates scrambling to get in front of the viewing glass.

"Octavia! Can you do the selfie for us?" Gwen asked.

"For sure!" Octavia already got her Scroll into selfie mode, "Smile for the camera!"

"This is a close second to the bird's eye view of Beacon," Yang remarked.

"The island is certainly beautiful," Pyrrha said as the speaker intercom came on with the voice of John Hammond speaking, "Bad wind shears. We have to drop fast enough. So, hang on, because it can be a little bumpy." Suddenly the airship lurched slightly downward. All the passengers, besides Hammond, almost flew out of their seats or fell onto their butts. Air sickness returned to Jaune as the medication wore off with Pyrrha screaming,

"Quick! He's gonna vomit!"

Hammond in the VIP room chuckled and looked at everyone in the room, "Yahoo."

Gennaro laughed politely, while hurrying to put his seatbelt on. Ian was calm, and coolly put his on. Ellie, Ozpin, Qrow, Taiyang, Port, Oobleck, Ironwood, and Winter did the same with theirs, but Alan was as lucky, since he somehow managed to grab two female buckles. The airship was now descending onto a large landing pad on top of a large facility center that served as both a monorail station and a bus station in at the very mouth of the canyon near a waterfall.

A small argument ensued as Grant struggled to secure himself. Hammond tried to help throwing out instructions, "You need that piece over here, and that piece...well, we'll have landed by the time you get it right." Forgoing everything else, Alan decided to be practical about it by tying both ends tightly about his waist. He didn't care if it looked ridiculous as long as it worked.

The airship finally landed. Down the stairs past the monorail station leading into the bus ramp below waited a pair of armored, military styled bus colored jungle camouflage each big enough to fit thirty people, which was enough to transport a large number of Hunters, a small group of Atlas' soldiers and Huntsmen professionals. The pair of red and tan jeeps were also waiting down there. All of them have numbers on their side. Four men ran up to the InGen airship as the door ramp opened. Hammond went out first to admire the scenery, followed by Gennaro, who immediately hurried for a jeep down the stairs. Alan and Ellie came next, with Ian brining up the rear with the rest of the Hunters following them.

As the airship pulled away, the jeeps, with Ian, Alan, and Ellie in the lead one, Hammond and Gennaro in the second one; then the buses, the first one carrying Beacon's Huntsmen-in-training, Team SSSN, Penny, Ciel, Ozpin, Taiyang, Zwei, and Oobleck, was in between the second jeep and the second and last bus containing other Huntsmen teams, Qrow, Ironwood, Winter, and the Atlesian soldiers that were wearing blue armor with some in yellow armor that were Ironwood's bodyguards. They all traveled down a dirt road, a bridge over a river that was towered over by an incomplete monorail track, and through a gateway in a long electrified fence that had to be almost thirty feet high close to a building-sized gate with the sign on top titled, "Jurassic Kingdom". As they passed through, the workers closed the smaller gates. On the door was a sign that read, "Danger, 10,000 Volts." The automobiles continued through the jungle.

In the rear jeep, Gennaro and Hammond were in a heavy conversation.

"The full 300 miles of perimeter fence are in place?" The former asked.

"And the concrete moats, and the motion sensor tracking system. Gennaro, dear boy, relax. Try and enjoy yourself." Hammond said back in a relaxed tone.

"Let's get something straight, John. This isn't a weekend excursion. This is a serious investigation of the stability of the island continent. Your investors, whom I represent, are deeply concerned. Forty-eight hours from now, if they're not convinced," he pointed at the lead car and the buses behind them," I'm not convinced. I'll shut you down, Hammond."

Hammond smiled and said, "In forty-eight hours, I'll be accepting your apologies."

The jeeps and the armored buses pulled to a stop atop a grassy hill somewhere on the island.

"Stop stop stop! Halt!" Hammond ordered the driver to stop the vehicle.

Ruby looked out through the window when Zwei was barking at something outside. She almost dropped her Scroll with her eyes widened in shock when she saw something she knew wasn't supposed to be possible.

"Yang..." Ruby whispered out loud, which got her sister away from her Scroll communicating with her other friends.

"What is it?" Yang looked in the direction that Ruby was looking and her mouth dropped to the seat.

Jaune's eyes widened with his brain nearly stopped and rebooted quickly like a mental whiplash that he only muttered, "What the?"

"Holy-!" Weiss, thankfully didn't finish her swearing.

The others caught onto what Ruby was seeing, especially Ozpin, who nearly dropped his coffee mug at the sight of something...enormous.

"Dear brothers," Ozpin said.

Ellie was busy examining a plant she had found, talking to herself.

"This shouldn't be here," she said. Alan stood up in his seat and took off his sunglasses to get a better look, mouth open in shock like the others. "Alan, this species of Veriforman's been extinct since the Cretaceous Period. I mean, this thing- what? What?" she said as Grant reached down, grabbed the top of her head and turned to face the same direction as him. She saw it and she too stood in her seat.

The Hunters, Headmasters, and the soldiers rushed out of the buses outside.

Qrow looked like he was about to have a heart attack.

Ironwood and Winter were flabbergasted.

"Oh my god..." James swore with his pupils shrunk.

Walking across the plain, not twenty feet from the vehicles, was a gigantic reptilian creature. It looked similar to a spiny giraffe with its long neck, stocky, grayish elephantine body and long, columnar legs. It walked past the vehicles, bellowing out like a whale on a deeper baritone as it lumbered by up to a tall tree and began eating. Alan and Ellie exited their car and walked up to it.

"It's- it's a dinosaur," was all Grant could muster.

Ellie wasn't any better, barely managing an "uh-huh".

"You got to be shitting me," Coco took off her sun shades, not caring if Velvet heard it, who was just as stunned as she was.

"No. Freaking. Way." Neptune was floored for the first time seeing a living flesh and blood dinosaur in front of him.

Blake clasped her mouth with hands.

Team NDGO were squealing, awestruck and surprised that they were seeing something that should have been extinct, live and move again.

"Incredible," Ciel stood beside a stunned Penny whose database was on the verge of rebooting for the poor awestruck android.

The soldiers were speechless like Winter and everyone else was.

Hammond walked past the lead car towards Alan and Ellie, chuckling.

Ian remained in the car, no less astonished. "You did it." he whispered, "You crazy son of a bitch, you did it."

Tai walked, or rather staggered like a delusional drunk to a shocked Qrow Branwen, who was drinking harder on his beverage more than usual. "Hey, Qrow. Is this a dream?"

"If it is, somebody better pinch us out of our sleep," Qrow stammered, watching the dinosaur browse through the tree top.

Alan and Ellie walked closer, making observations all the way, "Oh this is definitely the proof that this creature is definitely warm-blooded and moves through the plains like an elephant."

"This thing is so majestic!"

"This thing's got a, what? 25, 27-foot neck?" Alan asked briefly turning to look at Hammond then back up at the long-necked dinosaur.

"Brachiosaur? Fifty." Hammond corrected and nearly all of the young Hunters gasped.

"Fifty?!"

"Jeez! That's enormous!"

"That guy's definitely at the top of the world!"

"Right." Alan muttered.

The Brachiosaurus let out a short loud bellow before it suddenly reared up on its hind legs, supporting itself on a long tail, reaching for a clump of branches higher-up in the tallest monkey-puzzle tree. It grabbed them in its mouth, pulled until they all snapped off, and fell back down on all fours, causing the ground to shake. Everyone was shaken off their feet and have fallen onto their bottoms from the seismic tremors caused by the Brachiosaurus.

"We're gonna make a fortune with this place," Gennaro said to himself. He hoped to Oum that this island continent was safe.

"How fast are they?" Grant asked Hammond.

"Well, we clocked the T-Rex at 35 miles per hour." Hammond replied.

"T-T. Rex?" Ellie asked, amazed, "You said you got a T. Rex?"

"Uh-huh."

Alan grabbed Hammond by the shoulder, "Say again."

"Heh, we have a T. Rex."

Grant didn't feel so good. Ozpin spaced out from hearing that the island has the most dangerous dinosaur on the planet and James Ironwood swore he saw Ruby and Jaune fainting with their teammates and friends now panicking, trying to wake them up.

"Bart, tell me I'm hearing things, am I?" Port for the first time sounded both excited and anxious at the same time.

"I'm afraid not." That was all Bart could say.

"You gotta be joking me," Qrow dropped his flask out of horror.

Alan on the other hand felt light-headed and was losing his balance. He felt like he was going to hurl. He tried to stay vertical, putting his feet shoulder-width apart and putting his hands on his knees, but he eventually fell onto his bottom.

"Put your head between your legs," Ellie said.

"Mr. Hammond! When you said you have a T. Rex, do you mean-?" Arslan asked the elderly CEO.

"Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, Apatosaurus, Pteranodons, Stegosaurs, Parasaurolophus, Allosaurs, Spinosaurs, Megalania, Moas, Mosasaurs, Deinosuchus, Titanoboa, giant turtles and the rest brought back from many periods of Earth's prehistory! You name it, we got them." Hammond answered back with jovial laughter.

Everyone erupted with screams. Mostly of happiness, some of trepidation, and some from shock understandably, including Sun, who was not thrilled upon hearing about giant prehistoric crocodiles existing on the island.

His skin had paled, lost of his color, as he mumbled weakly like an idiot, "C-c-c-crocodiles..."

The blonde Monkey Faunus' eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell down with a resounding thud on the grass.

"SUN! SUN!" Neptune, alarmed, including Sage and Scarlet, rushed to his side.

"My old friends, children, Dr. Grant," Hammond said with a chuckle as he walked past the couple to look at the valley the hill overlooked. "My dear Dr. Sattler, welcome to Jurassic Kingdom." Every person, including the quickly woken up Ruby Rose and Jaune Arc turned and beheld an even grander sight; a pair of Brachiosaurus emerged from a lake down in the valley, a small group of Parasaurolophus were drinking from the lake, a trio of shaggy, ostrich-like giant birds called the Moa were socializing together, flocks of Gallimimus and Struthiomimus walking together alongside a larger herd of Triceratops. Further out into valley were a small herd of Stegosaurus that were overshadowed by herds of Apatosaurus and Diplodocus. In the middle, huge herds of Styracosaurus, Maiasaura, a small group of Pachycephalosaurus, and a lone Ankylosaurus were feasting on the ferns and grasses. Resounding from them, a symphony of bestial sounds from a lost world now reborn.

Up in the skies above, small numbers of Pteranodon soar gracefully in the air like herons. On top of the tree canopy, a single Haast Eagle was seen perching on a branch as it let out a banshee-like shriek.

"Oh my gods…," Pyrrha spoke through her hands muffling her mouth as tears of joy and wonder seeped through the corners of her eyes with her heart pounding at the majesty of Jurassic Kingdom.

"I wish Mom was here to see this, Yang," Ruby cried and laughed.

"Me, too." Yang wiped the tears away from her lilac eyes. Taiyang knelt down beside her daughters and hugged them. The daughters hugged back at their father, forgetting about the trauma from a month ago, just taking in the wondrous, miraculous experience in front of them. Ren and Nora clasped each others' hands.

"A prehistoric paradise of Eden," Ozpin said.

"They're moving in herds. They do move in herds," Alan said to Ellie. Hammond knelt down next to the pair with Ozpin kneeling beside them as well.

"How did you accomplish this?" Ozpin asked his old friend and InGen entrepreneur.

"I'll show you all." Hammond said quietly.
