Hey guys! Welcome back! I hope this won't be too sad, but every good story needs a heart-wrencher. Anyway, enjoy!

It was a warm afternoon. The sun was barely setting over the lake. Claire watched as Maisie and Ian ran down to the forest. Blue was with Owen for another presentation.

Ian and Maisie ran through the forest near the coast of the lake.

"Hey, Ian. Do you want to play hide-and-seek?" Maisie asked as Ian nodded.

"Do you want to count first?" Maisie asked as Ian nodded again.

"Count to ten, and then come find me," Maisie explained as she ran to hide.

Ian covered his eyes and faced a tree.

A shadow was watching afar, hoping to find the perfect time to strike.

One.

Maisie ran through the forest, leaving tracks in the forest floor.

Two.

The shadow circled the duo, still remaining unnoticed.

Three.

Maisie found a large rock and hid behind it, but pondered over her decision.

Four.

The shadow's glassy yellow eyes followed Maisie.

Five.

Maisie changed her hiding spot and began to climb a tree a little deeper in the forest.

Six.

The shadow followed Maisie, and quietly done so.

Seven.

The shadow stepped on a stick, which cracked under his weight.

Eight.

The shadow looked up at Maisie, who had noticed it.

Nine.

Their eyes met, and Maisie screamed.

Ten.

Ian followed Maisie's voice, and the shadow continued to hide. The thing roared and Ian saw the yellow eyes that made Maisie scream.

The shadow's eyes caught Ian's attention, and Ian felt the rage begin to boil.

"Hey buddy, take a hike or the girl will die," The shadow roared.

Ian stood his ground and reared up on his hind legs.

"We'll go, just let Maisie get down," Ian replied.

"Didn't I tell you to leave right now?" The shadow asked coldly.

"I just want Maisie, that's it. We didn't mean to bother you,"

"When you come in my territory, you die where you stand!" The shadow roared.

Ian let out a growl that silenced the shadow in seconds.

Maisie quickly climbed down, not looking away from the eyes for a moment.

"We'll go now," Ian stated as he and Maisie turned their back on the eyes.

The shadow then threw his tail and hit Maisie right in the side. Her body went limp as she was thrown into the large boulder.

The shadow then revealed itself as it attacked Ian. It was an ankylosaurus, but had three horns on its head and four spikes on the tail, two on each side. The tail ended with a round boulder, and his neon yellow eyes were the one thing that stood out overall. This creature was the Trikylosaurus that Dr. Wu had created.

Ian unleashed himself as he charged at the Trikylosaurus.

The Trikylosaurus swatted his tail and flung Ian into a tree. While Ian was recovering, the Trikylosaurus charged at Ian. This was when memories played in Ian's head as he stared at the three horns. He saw the Indoraptor and Blue wrestle in the air. He saw the Indoraptor be pierced on the horns. He remembered the feeling of his snout when it touched the cold and lifeless hand that he knew would never move again.

The Trikylosaurus stopped his charging and simply smacked Ian with his tail and knocked Ian into another tree.

"What's wrong? Can you throw at least one decent punch?" The Trikylosaurus wickedly stated as stared at Ian.

"The humans have made you weak,"

Ian felt himself attempt to get up, but the Trikylosaurus smacked him in the legs.

"Come on, buddy! Show me what you got!"

Ian was getting smacked by the Trikylosaurus from every direction. Ian felt himself blackout.

"You're the biggest sorry excuse for a dinosaur that I've ever met," The Trikylosaurus muttered as he disappeared into the forest.

3 hours later..

Ian woke up to the dark forest surrounding him. It was quiet, nothing made a sound. Ian looked around for Maisie. He saw tire tracks in the ground he followed them.

He followed the tracks to a road. He sniffed the ground, hoping to pick up a scent. He smelled gasoline, and continued to follow the trail. He was careful to not get hit by the cars passing by. Ian followed the scent to a giant white building that read "Hospital". He seen this building on the 9-1-1 show Owen watches. People who get sick or injured go there. Looking to find Maisie in there was his best bet.

The building was locked all over, and the security were armed with pistols and tasers. Ian had only one choice, he had to climb.

Ian managed to climb up a sturdy tree and find a windowsill that could hold his weight. He looked down. The ground was 10 feet away, the branch began to crack. Ian looked at the windowsill, and took the leap of faith.

He grabbed the windowsill and grasped on tight. He pulled himself up and stared into the window. He saw a room with a baby being held up by a doctor. He saw the parents, who were teary-eyed and smiling at their new child. Ian began to cry himself.

He continued to climb the building. It was hard to find places to grip, but he managed to get to the next window. He saw a little boy staring at a man, but the man had tubes all around him. The man was speaking to the boy and holding his hand. Ian felt his heart melt, but he wasn't sure why.

He continued to climb, and by a stroke of luck, he climbed right by the window that contained his best friend. Maisie was still unconscious, and Claire and Owen were asleep in some white chairs near her bed. Ian used all his strength and managed to open the window with one hand. He quietly pulled himself and climbed through the window. His body was tense from strain and nervousness.

Ian looked at Maisie with his red eyes begging to look away.

"Maisie, I'm so sorry," Ian whispered, "I made a promise to keep you safe, and I failed,"

Maisie remained still.

"I broke the promise, and I wasn't strong enough to protect you,"

Ian then noticed something else in the corner of his eye.

"She suffered slight brain damage and a broken ribcage, but she'll recover," Blue said.

"It wasn't your fault," Blue added.

"How did you get in here?" Ian asked.

"I got special permission from the security," Blue answered, "That monster was the one who caused all this. You did protect Maisie from getting hurt anymore,"

"But I didn't protect her enough!" Ian replied, "She's here in this bed because I was too weak to protect her!"

"You couldn't control the situation,"

"I could have!"

"It was too big for you!"

"So now your saying that I can't take on things bigger than me?"

"You were the one saying that your weak!"

Ian then let out a piercing roar that shook the room and shattered the paintings in the hallway. Ian gasped, realizing what he had just done. He saw the fear in Blue's eyes and Claire and Owen waking up. Ian took off an old scale from his back and put it on Maisie's bedside. He stared at the locket around Maisie's neck. Ian crept over and took the locket off Maisie and wrapped it on his neck. Ian then climbed out the window, looking at the family one last time.

"I don't deserve any of this," Ian whispered as he climbed down as fast as he can.

Ian looked at the hospital just before running from security. He sat in the forest, knowing he was a failure to Maisie and her family, a failure to Blue, a failure to himself.

Moments after Ian left, Claire and Owen were fully awake.

"Where's Ian?" Owen asked.

"I didn't see him during the search for Maisie," Claire replied.

She then noticed the navy blue scale on the bedside.

"Where am I?" Maisie asked groggily while rubbing her eyes.

"Maisie!" Owen and Claire exclaimed together as they hugged her.

Blue ran up to Maisie and got a head rub from Maisie.

"Where's Ian?" Maisie asked as Owen and Claire looked at each other sadly.

Owen grasped Maisie's hand and sighed.

"He's gone,"

I wanted to give the Trikylosaurus and Ian an introduction that gives the, a rivalry. I hope you caught the reference to Fallen Kingdom. Hopefully this wasn't too depressing, but I promise there's a happy ending. (I hate sad endings). Anyway, Beast boy and the Indoraptor are Beast mode!
