Dinotopia The TV series: Novelization
by Mysticgohan88
Disclaimer: If I had control over the TV series eight years ago, I would have been smart and made changes necessary to keep the show going for a good five or six seasons. Also, I would have had the actors who played Karl and David in the TV series, play as them in the movie. No offense to Wentworth Miller and Tyron Leisto as David and Karl, but I thought Shiloh Strong and Erik Von Detten were abit stronger in their roles.
Chapter 2: Recap and new beginnings part two
Night had fallen over the peaceful Waterfall city, as the Scott brothers and the Syville sisters, had stopped at a local restaurant outside to enjoy the environment. The small trio of teens had been so busy with their schedules and helping in fixing the island ever since the disaster that had occurred a month ago. Plus...even though they had shown signs of adapting to the life style of Dinotopia, the boys still showed signs of discomfit at times. Though, this was understandable as for their entire life; they had lived back in New York. Now look where they were.
"I remember when Dad first bought that plane, we took it up to Vermont for a vacation" Karl recalled, as he told the sisters about the plane they had used to arrive on the island. Now, it was at the bottom of the ocean and completely unable to be salvaged to the surface. Shooting a smirk at David, he remarked "David of course, had to eat breakfast right before takeoff".
This caused a chuckle from the trio, save for David; who retorted annoyed "Hey, I was ten years old okay". Looking back at Karl, he shot back "Sides, I think I'm doing pretty good now when it comes to flying".
"Hey c'mon guys, let's just enjoy the night okay" Marion asked politely, trying to avoid their being any scuffles.
Jake just smiled as he looked at Samantha. Ever since Karl and David were kids, they had hated each other's kids. The two were so completely different despite being brothers, that they had constantly argued and bickered all the time! Most of the time, Jake felt the need to step between the two to help give them some space. Even nowadays when they got along, they still took pot shots at one another when they got the chance.
"You'll have to forgive these two, they sometimes like to have a macho contest to see whose tougher" Jake whispered loudly to Samantha, who giggled in response.
"Hey Mr. I'm all about taking the high road. What about all the times when Karl mocked you for being a fighter junkies as a kid? I think you responded rather immaturely for the time" David cut in, as he saw Jakes face go red with embarrassment. "Sh..shut up" Jake retorted as he lowered his head in shame, before smirking "Well, at least you finally have gotten yourself a girlfriend David! It took you...what, ten years before you finally got the guts to get yourself one"?
David shot him a glare, as Karl just simply laughed in the background. Looking away, David grumbled "Brat..".
"It must be difficult for you and your family. Having this new life thrust upon you" Marion sympathized softly. Looking at Samantha, she muttered "Then again, I suppose you'd be more sad that they couldn't go home right"?
"Why do you say that sis" Samantha asked in response, as she smiled at her condescendingly
"Oh please, don't give me that" Marion said, as she watched Samantha glance over at David.
"Did you know anyone this annoying back home" she asked him aloud, as she chuckled at her sister's irritation.
Smiling, David quickly got back to the subject "It could be worse when you think about it".
"Oh sure. We could be stuck on an island with no TV, no basketball and man eating dinosaurs running amok" Karl sarcastically remarked, before he said "Oh wait a sec. That what were going through right now at the moment".
"Its not us I'm worried about. It's Dad" David said seriously. That got the boys attention. Frank Scott was a umm...difficult man to be open minded to things. As in, whenever change happened; he'd get nervous and try to stay to the ways he knows things, and not go out to try new ways. "It's like he really misses it. It's really a no brainer. Working around the clock in a noisy, polluted city versus an island paradise with beaches and...mostly, friendly dinosaurs".
"Of course he misses it David" Jake responded. "Everything he ever wanted was over this, he lived his entire life in a polluted, city. So, it's understandable for him if he's in denial or if he simply doesn't want to reach out to try out this place".
"Well, we just need to get him involved more" Marion answered Jakes question, as she insisted "I'll talk to my parents, I'm sure there's loads he can do here".
Samantha voiced her opinion, as she said "I think it's not going to be that easy. Whenever I was around Mr. Scott, he seemed to always have his mind in another place like he was thinking about something".
"He was probably thinking about home. How much he missed it. I can tell you this when I say, that he isn't alone" Karl answered back slightly saddened. Like his dad, he missed his home and old friends dearly.
"What about you, are you enjoying the skybaxes" Marion asked curiously, watching as David bobbed his head up and down in agreement to the question. Averting her eyes to the depressed Karl, she sighed "As for you..what do we have to do to make you happy"? Getting an idea, she smiled "You could always become a skybax rider too. Heh heh, thats an idea; seeing the both of you in those sexy uniforms".
"Rosemary wouldn't let me remember" Karl grumped, as he glanced at David in annoyance. "She gives David a cool bird, and she gives me the whole "year of the earth speech" and a little baby dinosaur".
"Well, maybe your more the mothering type" David answered, as she smirked at the idea of Karl being "motherly".
"Hey, what about me? Why can't I join the skybax" Samantha called out. When everyone looked at her, she said "Dive bomber is one of the fastest birds on this island, and I've known how to ride her for years".
"You are destined to be a matriarch. Your not to be a skybax rider. Besides, do you think dad we'll just let you run off to join the skybax" Marion asked her annoyed.
Samantha shot back "He didn't do anything when you ran off that to save Karl, David and Jake". She steamed when Marion ignored her outburst, and turned back to the boys.
"Look, I'll talk to my mother. I'll see if you can join the Skybax" she said to Karl, who shrugged indifferently.
"Well that didn't go according to plan, did it" Quatron huffed angrily as he looked out into the distance in annoyance. After having been trapped in that case for god knows how long, they had exited to find that the T-rex that had been after them; had vanished. It...gave up and left them? That seemed unlikely since he had been hunting T-rex for a long time, and for them to just give up and stop hunting them...unusual.
Whilst hiding in the shrine, he had come across a green gem that glowed with ominous power. He did not know what it was, but he liked treasure and it seemed valuable. So, he took it without question.
"You'll give your T-rex claws next time" Lola smiled erotically at him, as he brushed off her attempts.
"It's very quiet, almost too quiet" Dennis noted. The lack of T-rexes in the area seemed rather odd. They had been walking for about twenty minutes to get to the nearest outpost, yet they had not heard a single T-Rex roar.
Putting a hand to hear head, Le Sage shot Quatron a look as she remarked with extreme sarcasm "What, your complaining"?
"I like quiet, quiet is good" Quatron snapped back, not in the mood for her witty replies. "We're not ready to tangle with those ugly brutes for now. Not before we have some fun eh" he smiled devilishly as he playfully poked Le Sages shoulder.
"Well, let's get going. We don't want to keep those lucky nymphets waiting" Le Sage sighed, before readjusting her sword.
"It's got nothing to do with you guys. I mean, you have a nice little set up here" Frank Scott complimented as he walked with Waldo and Rosemary. He had met them in his morning walk, so he decided to tell them how he felt about..his situation. "Everything works. Everybody's happy. It's just for me...well...it's too..well, it's like spending the rest of my life in fantasy land".
"Ah, look around you Frank. All sorts of people have washed up here over the century. Some humble, others leaving behind empires. My direct ancestor, Don Jose Luiscanbaka Syville was ship wrecked here in 1612. Now, he came to accept his fate as we all have, and once he did that; he was able to find happiness" Waldo explained.
"Maybe it's easy for you. But, I don't have an ancestor who came here. I don't want to accept my fate, I want to alter it and leave" Frank thought annoyed. "Its just umm..I feel trapped" Frank said softly, not knowing any other way to say it.
"Well, in a way; you are Frank. But surely, there are far worse places to be trapped" Waldo said sympathetically. He was only explaining how he felt, since he was born on the island and not from the outside world like Frank was.
"Think about this Frank, you have your sons with you; that a blessing" Rosemary reminded as he nodded in agreement. He could have ended up on the island, all alone having lost his sons. He didn't think he'd be able to live with that grief. "Arriving here isn't always a happy experience, but its something that we cannot change" Rosemary then quipped.
"So, she showed me these fields where they harvest the wheat, the corn and all that stuff. Its great and all, but what am I supposed to do out their; be a farmer or a baby dino doc" Frank recalled incredulously. He had managed to track down his sons, and were now having lunch at another local eatery. Jake had just finished err...jogging with Samantha, and had agreed to see her later after he spent time with his family whilst Karl and David had been easier to find.
"Dad, I'm sorry to say this; but I can't see you working as a farmer. Maybe more of the guy who directs the orders like the executive position you had back home, but not a farmer" Jake chuckled weakly.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence Jake" Frank remarked as he rolled his eyes.
Giving their orders to the waiter, asking for the pasta special, Frank groaned "What I wouldn't give for a steak right now". He didn't have alot of problems with dinotopias laws, but he really hated how they looked down on eating meat! He to keep eating other wheat foods and fruit in order to keep his hunger for meat down.
"Tell me about it, I really miss my burgers" David moaned.
"A juicy, tender, sizzling burger that's been cooked on the girl for twenty minutes. Wrapped between two delicious buns, with lettuce, tomato and ketchup all over it. A side plate of fires, and a cold cola" Jake recalled hungrily. He was a huge meat fan, as it kept his bones strong for him and gave him strength. "How in the heck do these people get strong without eating meat" Jake complained.
"There's really no point in going on about it. Its not like we have an option" David said softly.
"Says who? Who says were stuck here? How do you know there's no way off this island" Frank asked.
Not knowing where this conversation was going, David answered "Because no one has ever made it before"? All he received was a smirk of victory from Frank, as he realized what he was going for. "Dad, c'mon" he insisted.
"Hey, no. All I ever hear is this weird storm that circles the island, and this killer reef. What do they call it" Frank said excited.
"The razor reef" Karl answered.
"Yeah, right; that no one has ever been able to sail across. I mean, I don't know what kind of lame sailors they've got here, but when you've been around the cape on a forty foot boat. That's challenging" Frank responded.
"Uh, Dad. I think I can vouch for David when I say that its not possible. Karl already tried it, and the moron almost killed himself doing it" Jake stood up. It had been during when they had all separated and Karl had selfishly, taken a boat to try to sail home alone. The reef tore his ship in two, and almost slicked him as well.
Jake missed home yeah, but he wasn't ready to leave yet! Sure, there were some things that bugged him, but not enough to leave. He smiled weakly as Karl glared at him angrily. Probably for bringing that up in front of dad.
"Are you kidding me? We'd be the first ones to know if anyone made it off this island. They're be a dinotopia the book, dinotopia the movie. They're be little, windup toys at McDonalds They'd have sold their story even before they're clothes had a chance to dry" David reasoned. If someone had ever made it off the island, wouldn't they have..pff, I dunno; Told people about it?
Frank remained unconvinced though...
So unconvinced, that he spent all of the next day at the dinotopian library. He had come off to Zippeau as someone who was so interested in reading up about dinotopian history. His real motive: Studying the maps of the shores, to see if there was an opening so he could get himself and his family off this blasted island. He spent hours, upon hours searching through every log ever recorded; yet he was unable to find the answer that he sought.
"Damn it" he swore softly, as he kept searching.
"You off to Canyon city" Karl asked, as he picked apart from oranges and popped them into his mouth. He was hanging out at Zippeaus since Marion had gone off to teach the kids at school again, so he was stuck with nothing to do until she was free again. David had entered and was now ready to head off again it seemed.
"Yeah, were just flying some follow up patrols to the outpost" David remarked casually, already eager to get back to work. If someone had told David that two months ago, he would end up as a soldier for a prehistoric unit, he'd laugh in that guys face! But he was quite the opposite here! He was in fact overjoyed to be a part of this. Glancing at Karl, he asked "Wheres Jake"?
Karl smirked in response, as he chuckled "Heh heh, you missed him. Apparently right after Samantha had finished up with her lessons, and Jake had spent the day delivering another letter to Sky city; they just vanished. Probably out on another "jog" today". He couldn't help but be proud that Jake finally had someone in his life. Training solo all the time must seriously have been boring to him.
David nodded in response, as he said "Glad that he's finally out and about doing other things sides from training". Deciding to bring up another question, he asked "Have you seen dad"?
"No, not really. Why" Karl asked, as he popped another grape into his mouth.
Shrugging, David muttered "I dunno. He just seems like he's been really quietly for the past few days, don't ya think". Dad usually had a liking to socializing and running about doing something active. Not in the past days though! He seemed to really be slowing down.
"Yeah, its great. He's finally stopped moaning about this place" Karl sighed in agreement. Dad had been spending the past month doing nothing but complaining about leaving the island. Alot like he did when he first arrived. Karl mainly said that because he had at the time, blamed Dinotopia for his dad's supposed death. Now he mainly missed it for the technology. He missed the internet, high definition television, video games, sports. He missed it all. But, he kept quiet mostly about it until his dad brought it up.
"You don't find that strange" David asked, crossing his arms.
"What, first its his moaning that has you worried. Now its his silence, we'll you make up your mind already" Karl asked in exasperation, as he got up.
"He spent all day at the library, yesterday" David informed. That was unlike his dad heavily. For one, dad although did reading, was not a huge fan of it. Usually he did it whenever it was a part of a job, or when he wanted to know more about something.
"So the man has an inquisitive mind" Karl dismissed, not really caring about this conversation.
David, just smiled sarcastically as he remarked "No, there's an angle, Dad, always has an angle". Looking away, he muttered "I really don't like it. I think we should all keep an eye on him". Hearing a chuckle from his older bro, he turned to see an inclerdous look on his face. "What's so funny" David asked.
"Do you even listen to yourself? Keep an eye on dad" Karl asked. Taking this all as a joke, he smirked "Tell you what, you get Waldo to sign off on wiretap, and I'll get the fake van with the fake plumbers logo, sound good"? Scoffing off David as he remarked on being serious, Karl responded with even seriousness "Look, Dads a big boy. He can handle himself".
"Fine, whatever. If you won't help me, I'll just get Jakes help" David snapped in annoyance. Now they were back at the "I'm gonna one up you" stage. The stage where the two brothers would constantly take shots at each other, until the other gave out and stopped.
"Whatever" Karl grunted, not caring one way or another.
"Anything not to interfere with your social schedule" David replied nastily as he went to walk out, when he heard Karl turn. That got his attention.
"What the hell's that supposed to mean" Karl turned, glaring hatefully. The third degree he was getting from David was seriously uncalled for.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about" David snapped.
"Yeah, I do and you better back off, because she's with me. Got that" Karl snapped back. Obviously, he was referring to Marion. Marion had been disputing over which of the two brothers she had wished to be with. There was Karl's brashness, and cockiness, or David shy, sweet and sensitive. Surprisingly, she had chosen Karl. Probably because she hadn't met anyone like him before on the island.
"Look, I just don't want to see her turn out to be another one of your hit and run victims" David said, defending himself. To Karl, women were a game! They had always been a game. Back home when they were still in high school, all Karl did was hit on the beautiful women, date them for awhile, break up and then move onto the next one. Marion was really great friends with David and he wasn't about to see his brother hurt her.
"Maybe if you actually got up the guts to tell Romana back on how you feel, you'd get yourself a girlfriend, instead of ending up with more girl "friends" Karl snapped. Ignoring the huffing David as he turned to leave, Karl remarked "By the way, I'm taking her on a trip to visit Commander Oonu. So, you'd better not butt in this time".
"Whatever" David grumbled, stalking off to tell Jake about all this before heading out.
"So, this Luke Skywalker had risen up and managed to bring his father back to the err..light side of the force" Samantha asked. Jake had decided to tell her about some of the books that he had read, as well as movies. This...Star wars sounded like a future paradise to her! Epic battles in space, swords made out of pure energy, and being able to move things with the...the force. "It sounds so neat Jake" she grinned.
"Yeah, and the worst part is that I'll never get a chance now to see how Anakin fell to the dark side of the force" Jake moaned as he lowered his head in annoyance. Star wars episode 2: Attack of the clones had come out earlier that year, and he'd never get a chance to see Episode 3! "Man, I wish this place had TV". It was cool yeah being on an island with dinosaurs that could be able to talk! But this place lacked the tech from back home!
"I just wish that I could see what TV's like once! It sounds strange. Being able to transfer pictures into a box that shows images of other people. Sounds futuristic" Samantha smirked, as she felt Jake put an arm around her shoulder.
"Heh heh! Samantha! This is the year 2002! Course its futuristic" Jake smirked. Putting a hand to his chin, he muttered "I just wonder that when it hits 2015, that if self lacing shoes we'll be invented". Before the two teens could continue their chat about the future, Jake noticed David rushing towards them.
"Hiya David! Off to Canyon City? You should hurry. You don't wanna keep Romana waiting" teased Samantha, as she laughed at his blush. "Aw! I was just kidding David! I think you two we'll make a great couple" Samantha gushed as David averted his eyes to the ground. She rolled her eyes in response. He loved Romana. Plain and simple. Unfortunately, he was far too nervous for it seemed to get up the nerve to tell her that.
"Err, thanks Samantha. Could you umm...give me and Jake a minute? We need to talk about umm...something serious" David asked her politely. He liked Samantha, but this was obviously something that he and Jake had to discuss.
"Oh I see. Alright then. Don't keep me waiting to long Jake" she grinned, as she walked casually to a distance.
Jake waved, as he grinned at the departing Samantha. Shooting a glare at Jake, he said "Did you really have to interrupt there? We were having a very good conversation about cool sci-fi stuff". When David gave him a serious look, Jake said "What? You look like someone died".
"Someone might if we don't do something" David answered. When Jake shut up, he said "Its about Dad. He's been really quiet lately and has been spending a few days in the library. I think he's up to something".
Jake raised a brow, as he said "Err, maybe he's just attending footprint language lessons with Zippeau. I mean, he is doing kinda lousy in learning Saurian isn't he". Watching his bro shake his head, Jake then said "Alright then. What do you think he's up too"?
"Hes been talking about nothing but leaving the island since we got here. We've dismissed these conversations as nothing more than him just venting his anger at being stuck on an island that lacks the tech from back home. What if he's planning something"? When Jakes eyes widened, David made it more clear. "What if he's planning to try the same thing that Karl tried" David asked seriously.
Jake let out a laugh, as he said "Your nuts"!
"Excuse me" David asked, getting angry.
"Dad saw for himself when we showed him some of the shores of the island a few weeks ago. It can't be done, and Dad sees that for himself. What makes you think Dad would try something so stubborn and reckless" Jake asked. Frank had requested that his sons show him the shores of the island. They had, and he had clearly seen the razor reef and how it affected the island.
"Cause this is dad were talking about here" David said bluntly.
Jake snorted, as he said "Dads stubborn, but he's not stupid. He wouldn't go and try something like that". When David went to protest, Jake raised his hand. He and dad had been getting along better now than they had in years because of him always forbidding him to train, yet he did it anyway. He wasn't about to blow that now over a hunch that David had. "Forget it! If you want to go and do this, then you'll do it alone. I'm not helping" Jake snapped.
"Fine! I don't need you or Karl's help" David snapped back, as he shoved past Jake towards a clear spot where he could call Freefall.
"So, is this there a lake somewhere around here" Karl asked jokingly. They had been traveling on Parasaurolophus overlanders for a few hours now, making their way to Canyon City to see Commander Oonu. It was pretty hot outside so..maybe a quick dip in the lake would help cool them off.
"A lake" Marion asked, confused.
"Yeah, like maybe we could stop for a sec if there is, and go chill out for awhile" Karl asked, hoping that'd she'd say yes! They had been traveling over plains for many hours now, and he could do with a swim.
"There is a lake nearby yes, but we can't go their" Marion said, becoming serious.
Noting her seriousness, Karl muttered "Err, why"?
"Cause I forgot to pack a swim suit" Marion smirked, showing she was joking. Seriously though, they couldn't stop at all if they were going to make it before nightfall to one of the outpost.
Karl was about to respond with "Swim suits didn't stop us last time" when suddenly they overlanders stopped. Smelling something strong, and nasty he flinched at the scent. It was powerful whatever it was. It had a mixture of fresh blood and...oh god. Karl pointed slowly at where the scent was coming from. "Oh man" he moaned.
Lying in a small ditch, was a dead triceratops. Its side had been ripped cleanly out, as its fresh blood slowly seemed to drip from its open wound.
"This is fresh" Marion said in horror, as she looked at the deceased herbivore.
"I don't understand. We're near the sunstones safety barrier right? I mean, we're not in the Rainy Basin yet" Karl insisted. As he was told to be quiet, his ears snapped up as he slowly glanced to the left. Staring in horror, he whispered "Marion..look". A small nest of Pterranadons were observing near the corpse. How they had not noticed them before was a mystery, but it didn't matter as they squawked angrily at the humans.
Retreating from the area, the Pterrandons slowly began to chomp down at the dead Triceratops.
At the same time, David and Romana were flying back towards Mayfield, the outpost that they had attended to last time. Landing, the two were shocked to see the place was destroyed! Pieces of the homes had been bitten out, and there was no people in sight!
"Hello" David called out. Where was everyone?
Approaching some of the homes, he sighed in relief as slowly people began to peek out in fear. They looked like they had been completely struck with fear. "What happened here" David asked.
One of the people approached, as he said "T-rexes, Pterranadons. They were everywhere".
"But" David looked up, and could see the sunstone was glowing fine! Nothing had changed since last time with it! Yet, the carnivores had ignored it? How?
Word had quickly gotten back to Waterfall city about what had happened. Clearly it meant that if the carnivores were able to run through the two sunstone barriers, what's to say they wouldn't be able to run through any barrier? Immideadly, the people began to wonder, and some panicked. What if the carnivores decided now was the time to get to waterfall city? It'd be a disaster all over again!
Frank had immediately made plans with a local boat owner, to see if when he took his shipment down to the coast, that if he could take him and his sons along as well! It seemed fine, but it was clear! Frank wanted to leave! By god, was he determined. Already he was packing some things, not even caring what happened to the island. He wasn't about to lose any of his sons to the carnivores!
The next day came, but David wasn't back! He had sent out a letter to him by postal bird to see if he could get him back to waterfall city! But he wasn't their! The boat was going to be leaving soon too! Glancing up, Frank huffed at the sight of his two sons. Karl was sitting in a chair looking out at the panicking people. He must have had Marion on his mind cause he saw the two the other day, conversing about something.
Jake on the other hand, seemed to be deep in thought about something else. Samantha had talked to him the other day, asking if she could go with him when they left the island. Clearly, she didn't want to be a matriarch so bad that she was willing to leave her home just to escape it! Jake said that he'd think about it, but he was unsure. Unsure if he even wanted to leave! He missed home too, but this was a once and a life time opportunity! He couldn't just leave an island of talking dinosaurs so soon!
"Where is he? He should have been back by now" Frank snapped angrily. Hearing as his sons tried to reason with him, saying David was out on patrols; Frank insisted "I wanted him back here now...". Slamming his fist, he grumbled "Enough of this nonsense, you two wait here. I'm going to make sure they don't leave without us".
Quickly rushing down to the docks, he spotted the boat owner immediately as he said "We're waiting for my son to get back from Canyon city. Can you hold off leaving for awhile"?
The owner shrugged as he said "I have no problem with that".
Frank grinned, as he said "Thanks". Turning to leave, he heard the man announced that they had been ordered not to take Frank or his sons anywhere. Slowly turning to face him, Frank growled "What do you mean".
Five minutes later, Karl and Jake were trying their best to calm down a screaming Frank Scott as he stormed into the Mayor's office unannounced. Waldo, Rosemary, Samantha and some of the council members were discussing plans on what was best for the people of Waterfall city. "HOW DARE YOU" he screamed furiously at Waldo! Ignoring his pleas for not now, Frank vented "JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? YOU GOT ME ON HOUSE ARREST"?
"Calm down Frank, please" Rosemary tried to reason.
Grabbing his son by the shoulder, he said "NO! I wanna know what's next! Prison? You gonna lock us up next"? Who did these people think they were, stopping him from going to the coast to leave.
"It was for your own good Frank. Letting you go, would have been like condoning suicide" Rosemary explained, but was thrown off as Frank shouted again!
"Well let me tell you something Rosemary. Back where I'm from, people have the right to have their own choice" Frank snarled angrily. He looked about five seconds away from taking the table in front of him and tossing it out the window, he needed something to get his anger out.
"Dad, calm down. I asked them to do it" David pleaded, as he entered the room. He was greeted by shocked cries from Frank, and an angry shove from Karl as Jake remained silent, as he stared at Samantha.
Explaining that T-rexes were spotted three miles away from the city, east of it! When asked how long he and the other riders could delay the T-rexes, David shrugged "I don't know. A couple hours maybe".
"Whoa, Whoa! Delay T-rexes! No one's delaying anything! Your coming with us David! We're getting off this death trap" Frank shouted. He started to lead the boys out of the room, almost daring the others to try and stop them from leaving when David said he wasn't leaving.
"What did you say" Frank asked, shocked.
"I'm not going with you...and neither is Jake" David explained.
Jake stepped forward, as before Frank could say anything; Jake said "I wrote down something else to the note when you sent it dad. I'm gonna stay and help the people here". He looked over and got an angry glare from Samantha, clearly hurt that he had decided to stay after all.
"This is not your fight! Either of you" Frank shouted, as he glared at Jake. "Also, you! You're not a man! You can't just go making these decisions yet"! He ignored the stares from everyone else, as he said "I don't care how strong you think you are, or what kinda training you did; you're not staying here".
"Try and stop me" Jake snarled, as he met his dad's glare. "On this island, at the age I'm at; I consider myself a man. So, you can drag me all the way down to the coast if you want; because I'll just walk all the way back here to help the others. I love this place, and I'm not going to run".
Frank stared back, clearly stunned by Jakes stubbornness. He ignored Waldo as he announced for the city to be evacuated. He silently cursed his dad for putting all these ideas into his head, and could see Jake meant it. Even if he did drag him by his heels, then Jake would get just stomp straight back to help waterfall city. Looking at David, he could see that he was determined to stay since he felt a duty was sworn to his being a skbax. "I've lost my sons" Frank thought hopelessly. "Fine. Stay and get yourself killed. I don't care" Frank growled at his sons, as he muttered "Lets go Karl".
Watching as the two leaved, Jake sighed as he put a hand to his head in agitation. Going out into the hall, he whirled around as Samantha glared at him.
"What's wrong with you? Why didn't you go with them? This was our chance to go" Samantha shouted at him. Why had he said no? Didn't he see that she really wanted to see the outside world?
"I'm going to stay and help these people. I can't turn my back on them Samantha" Jake tried to reason, but backed up as Samantha snarled at him.
"You may love this stupid place and wanting to be destined to be something without any other choice; BUT I DON'T" Samantha yelled at him. Stomping past him, she ignored Jakes pleas to come back as she thought "If I hurry, I can catch up with Mr. Scott and Karl". She had to hold back frustrated tears, as she wiped any traces of them away. She was really hoping that Jake would have gone too! She hated how she was given no choice but to be a matriarch on the island! She wanted to make her own destiny, not have it be decided for her! Holding back tears, she ran through the panicked streets to catch up with Mr. Scott and Karl.
Meanwhile. on the outskirts of the city; the T-rex were slowly beginning to gather. They stared at the beautiful waterfall city as they licked their lips. They were hungry...
