So now the time has come to release the raptors, but there's something Dave has to ask Jess before anything happens.
Also, I know you have all have been asking me to keep the raptors alive, but I'm sorry to say... One raptor, IS going to die. The only question is... who?
Review replay;
TaylorMan2274 - There's only one way to find out.
DragonBreeder123 - Talk about overkill...
WolfDragon - Not really, you know Grimlock from Age of Extinction? Picture his shoulder armor on Dave, and then give him a triceratops skull for a shield and ankylosaur club for a sword-mace. That's what you'll get.
Joey baldwin - Easy! I am only human, you know. But I will try to get the other chapters up as soon as possible.
Mickol93 - Let's find out...
knight of Cybertron 1984 - I know the feeling, you just want to RIP THEIR SPINE OUT OF THEIR- I mean, just calmly correct them.

Ddragon21 - But will that be enough?
bryan mccloud - Well, she is the whole who really hates Hoskins, so it's only fair she's the one who gets to kill him.
X Raptor paddock...
Now only 10 minutes until releasing the raptors, Owen had began to wonder where Dave had gone off to. He had last gone to talk to Jess when they last saw him, but now it's like he's disappeared off the face of the earth.
"Barry, have you seen Dave?" asked Owen as Barry began to ready his quad-bike.
"No sign of him." admitted Barry not to sure where Dave was either. "Maybe he's getting ready."
But just then, both Barry and Owen caught sight of Dave. Only now, Dave seemed more ready to face the I-Rex than ever...
Rather proudly, Dave made his way over to the stunned pair in his Dinosaur armor. His breastplate and shoulder-plates providing protection from any form of brute force while his ankylosaur club and triceratops shield gave him the means to go on the offensive. Even his boots were something to keep any eye out for, both had velociraptor shaped claws that could be flicked up to grip onto surfaces or cause damage.
"Where did you get that!" asked Owen impressed by Dave's new toys.
"Parting gift." answered Dave giving all the information he needed to.
"So, you ready to do this?" asked Barry getting on his quad bike.
"No." denied Dave. "There's something I have to do first."
And with that, Dave left Owen and Barry behind to find Jess. But both Barry and Owen had a good idea what Dave was planning on doing...finally proposing to Jess.
In an armored truck, Claire sat on the driving set holding her video screen. With Zach and Gray in the back, all she needed to do was keep them there while she watched the whole hunt take place. But as Jess made her way into the other side of the truck, Dave pulled her back out. There was something he had finally got around to asking Jess.
"Dave? What are you wearing?" asked Jess stunned by Dave's armor.
"Protection." answered Dave. "Listen, there something I need to ask you."
"Shouldn't you be getting ready for the hunt?" reminded Jess.
"That can wait for a minute." refused Dave, he really needed to ask Jess this.
Kneeling on one of his knees, Dave brought out a small box. Already, Jess began to think what Dave was going to do, but- surely Dave wouldn't be willing to do that? Would he?
"Jess Mistletoe." began Dave finding the right words to say. "From the very day I first meet you, you'd always been on my mind. And even when I was willing to just be friends, you stood by me not matter what. When I ended up coming here with a... talking raptor. You didn't back down, you stay by me. And there hasn't been one moment in my life, where I didn't wish to be with you, flying through dreams, or running through nightmares. So I have only one final thing to ask..."
And upon that, Dave opened up the box. There wasn't any words Jess could say, a golden ring, with a silver diamond resting ontop, with raptors claws wrapped in mistletoe engraved on it. By now, Jess couldn't contain her joy, he eyes pouring with tears of happiness and love.
"Will you do me the honor, of taking your hand in marriage?" Dave finally asked.
"SAY YES! SAY YES! SAY YES!" shouted Claire hearing the whole thing and unable to contain her girly side.
Within seconds, Jess jumped on Dave, squeezing his breath out as she embrace him.
"YES!" cried Jess tearfully as Dave carefully placed the ring on her finger. "Just...come back alive."
"I promise." agreed Dave giving Jess one last kiss before getting back to join the others.
Brimming with joy, Jess hopped into the passenger side of the truck as Claire suddenly hugged Jess in delight, much to Jess's, Gray and Zach's confusion
"Um... are you okay aunt Claire?" asked Gray catching Claire's attention.
Realizing what she was doing, Claire calmed herself down as she focused back on her video screen. Although the other three were still confused by Claire habit of mode changes today.
Meanwhile, Owen had brought out the I-Rex track implant that the group had collected while out. Thanks to their sensitive senses of smell, the whole raptor pack will able to lock onto the I-Rex's scent as soon as the smell sweeps into their nostrils.
Carefully holding the tracking implant close to the raptors cages, Owen clicked his fingers giving the signal to hunt. It only took a few seconds until each raptor set their sights on tracking down the new smell, and soon, they caught a trail, and they hadn't even been let out yet.
Finally, Owen, Barry and Dave made their way onto their vehicles with the mercenaries in a truck behind them. Although no of them liked this plan at all, this was probably their only other option to stop the I-Rex.
"You guys ready for this?" asked Owen looking back at the two.
"Hope so..." answered Dave while Barry just gave a nod.
"RELEASE, THE RAPTORS!" ordered Owen giving the raptor feeder the signal.
As soon as the raptors saw their doors open, the whole pack shot out like racing horses. And with the whole group on the I-Rex's trail, the others zoomed off to keep up with them.
To Perry and the rest of the group, their training within the raptor paddock will be tested to very limit. And so far, they were doing well, blasting through the undergrowth almost as if they knew this island from top to bottom.
Five minutes into the hunt, and the rest of the group caught up with the pack within their sights. While the mercenary truck keeping distance behind the pack, Owen, Barry and Dave at least were able to travel right between the pack.
Years of research and bonds forged in time were finally paying off for the three men. With Barry at the back of the pack due to his quad-bike being too big, Dave and Owen were able to race right in the middle of the pack, and soon, both had raptors on both sides of them. Even Bob and Helen, who Perry ad been worrying about were beginning to show their strength, dodging fallen trees and racing along side their mother and father.
X Raptor paddock...
Back in the truck, Claire and Jess watched the events unfold from the video screen, even Gray and Zach had opened up the window to the front to watch the hunt. And to be fair, all of them were just as caught into it as anyone watching... well... Jurassic Park.
"Your boyfriends are badass!" admitted Zach seeing both Owen and Dave riding along side the raptors.
And both Claire and Jess gave a small smile at Zach complement, their boyfriends certainly were badass. But then Claire realized what would soon to follow, stuff that Gray and Zach would certainly not like.
"You know what, you guys are too young for this." advised Claire about to close the window.
"What? No! No! No!" both Gray and Zach protested.
But Claire closed the small opening, at least she and Jess could cope with what could and will happen...
"Please! Can we watch?" asked Gray trying to open the window back up.
"No! Keep the window closed." refused Claire closing the window again.
"Ah... Some peace and quite." commented Jess getting comfortable watching the hunt.
X Not far away...
But back with the hunt, Barry had notice something. The raptors were beginning to slow down, as if they were getting close to the I-Rex.
"They're slowing down!" called Barry seeing their change in speed.
"They got something." knew Owen.
"Get ready. They might of found her." radioed Dave to the mercenaries behind.
And sure enough, within a large clearing. The raptor pack came to stop, facing the undergrowth ahead of them.
Not taking any chances, the mercenaries set themselves up behind the cover of a fallen tree. With Barry and Owen joining them, Dave had taken up side by Perry. But while Helen was among her pack, Bob had stayed with Perry and Dave a few meters back from the pack, he still wasn't fully confident, something that Perry understood. Any creature wouldn't be confident when facing the I-Rex.
With the night air, the roar of the I-Rex called through the undergrowth. Causing everyone to go on full alert, even the raptors. Soon, the roar was followed by a set of thuds rumbling though the ground, slowly but surely getting closer. But while the raptors were beginning to show caution, the mercenaries were still fixed ahead of them, and had even began moving forward.
"No... stay back!" whispered Dave keeping them back in their spot.
None of them were prepared for what emerged from the trees...
Now Barry could finally see what had killed his close friend. With the raptors still fixed on it, Perry and Dave braced themselves as the creature of all nightmares made her presence known. The I-Rex had arrived...
To be continued...
So how will the raptors react to the I-Rex when she takes command? And will Perry turn on her own surrogate father? Only one way to find out...
Anyway, keep the reviews up!
