I don't own dinosaurs or any of its characters. I only own this story and the characters not in the movie.
It seemed like any other day on Lemur Island. Now that Suri was three months old, she was old enough to go explore the island. Suri road on her brother Aladar's back, along with her uncle Zini.
The three had been looking for an adventure. Like always Zini was complaining about how boring island life was.
"This place couldn't be any more boring. Nothing ever happens here. I explored ever inch of this island before I was a year old. It's always the same. There's a mountain in the center of the island, some cliffs of to the Far East, forest covering every square inch, and a small strip of beach around the island. A stream of drinking water here and a pond or two there. Nothing ever changes. It's always the same, dull, dreaded, boring." complained Zini.
Suri walked over to her uncle.
"But this island so big, Zini. There has to be something you haven't seen?" wondered Suri.
At once Aladar got an idea.
"There is one place, Zini, has never been to, in all his four and three fourths years of life. We've never been to the tide pools. I heard some of the elders say, that some creatures from under the water get trapped in them. It's almost like you're looking at the bottom of the ocean." explained Aladar.
Suri jumped in happiness.
"That sounds like a fun place. Can we please go, Zini, please." begged Suri.
Zini couldn't resist his niece's begging.
"Fine we can go, just don't blame me if you get bored." grumbled Zini.
Suri cheered and Aladar walked to the tide pools. Suri looked into the tide pools. She could see different types of fish, shells and under water plants. About half an hour later, Aladar and Zini began to fall asleep.
Suri was still full of energy, so she decided to go exploring the shore, alone. She wondered far from Aladar and Zini. Suri eventually found a large log, just drifting not too far off shore. Curious, Suri climbed onto the log. She thought the log would be a nice place to take a nap.
When Suri awoke, her log had drifted out to see. Lemur Island was about half a mile away, and she couldn't swim.
"Help! Aladar, Zini, somebody, help me!" screamed Suri
Aladar and Zini heard Suri call for help. They ran to the direction of the call. It wasn't long until they were joined by Yar, Zer, Plio, and over half the clan. Suri kept on screaming for someone to save her.
"Help, I can't swim. Somebody save me." shouted Suri.
Zer hoped onto Aladar.
"Zini get back in the trees. Aladar I want you to take me to my daughter." ordered Zer.
Zini climbed back into the trees. Plio was about to join her mate and adapted son, when Yar stopped her.
"Dad get out of the way. I have to go save my daughter." demanded Plio.
Yar looked at his first born.
"It's too late, Plio. Zer and Aladar are already in the water. You'll never be able to catch them now." told Yar.
It was true. Aladar was already in the water, with Zer on his head. All Plio and the rest of the clan could do was watch and hope for the best.
Aladar swam to the log, at top speed. It was a good thing he learned to swim, back when he was still a hatchling. Once they reached the log, it was Zer's turn to take over.
Zer jumped onto the log. Suri crying hugged her father. Zer hugged his daughter back.
"Daddy, I'm scared." cried Suri.
"I know, Suri, I know. Go with Aladar now. He'll take you back to shore." explained Zer.
Suri looked at her father.
"But what about you, daddy?" asked Suri.
"Aladar will come back for me. The water's too deep for Aladar, to carry two back. Go now I'll be alright." promised Zer.
Suri climbed onto her 'brother's' head.
"I love you, daddy." said Suri.
"I love you too, Suri. Now go, before Aladar gets too tired to swim." pushed Zer.
Aladar swam back to shore. Plio jumped down from the tree and hugged her daughter.
"Suri, thank goodness you're safe. Don't ever scare me like that again." warned Plio.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I'll never do that again." cried Suri.
Yar looked at his grandson.
"You better go get, Zer, before the tied carries him away." stated Yar
That's when Zini noticed something in the water.
"Wait look." called Zini.
Everyone in the clan, looked in the direction, Zini, pointed. Something had begun to circle around Zer's log. Suddenly, a giant prehistoric shark jumped out of the water and grabbed Zer, by the tail. The shark pulled Zer down, to a watery grave.
Everyone's eyes light up in shock. No one could believe that Zer was gone.
At sunset everyone in the clan, gathered at the Tall tree. Yar made the traditional speech, for when a clan member died.
"We gather here tonight, in honor of Zer. He was a strong leader, a caring mate and a loving father. We shall all miss Zer, but none as much as Zer's mate Plio, and his children, Aladar and Suri. Now let us call to our ancestors, and hope Zer finds his way to the afterlife." announced Yar.
The clan began to call out to the stars, their ancestors and hopefully, Zer's spirit. Plio tried to comfort her crying daughter. Zini acted tough, but truly hurt inside. Aladar hung his head in shame. Somehow, some day, they would be able to move on and let Zer's memory rest in peace.
I know I'm kind of mean, killing off a character like that. But we never found out who Plio's mate was and he was never mentioned in the movie. So this is what I think happened. Comment if you like it.
