Dinotopia The TV series: Novelization
by Mysticgohan88
Disclaimer: I had become briefly brain dead, and unable to think up what to do for episode two. But, I'm here now and I'm ready to keep going! For this chapter, Romana we'll be extended upon, so that way she'll be more of a main character. She won't be a regular cast member, more of a recurring character and as time goes on, she may become gradually more and more of a main star as time goes by.
The man that Frank meets and says that he is the last offworlder, that arrived twenty two years ago (1980), is ignoring the fact that in the movie the last offworlder had arrived in 1944, so I'm going to address that abit. Also, the man we'll be a recurring character and also have his name changed. Anyway, without further ado; here's part one of episode two!
Chapter two: Making good, part one.
Several hours had passed by for Frank and his son, Karl. After finding out that his own son had sold out his plan of wanting to leave and being unable to take his youngest son with him, Frank had stormed out of waterfall city in righteous anger. "Never should have taken the boys island hopping that day" he thought stubbornly. Now look what had become of his family! Jake was stubbornly out of teenage pride, refusing to leave his new home, and David was staying cause he was duty bound for the skybax.
Karl had been forced to give twenty-six, to Zippeau since she obviously couldn't come with him. Although Karl showed it openly that he cared for the well being of the baby Chasmousaur; words failed to express how much he would deeply miss her.
Heading down south towards the southern shore, the two Scotts were exhausted. They had been walking for several hours, their feet dead tired from their exhausting trip. Luck would have it though, that they stumbled upon a small outpost! Although mostly deserted, the two could see as clear as day; a few people still remained. "Dad" Karl said, with somewhat shocked eagerness.
Frank nodded "Yeah, maybe we can spend the night their". Frank just hopped they would accept them out of the kindness of their heart, since he had neglected to bring money along from Zippeaus apartment.
"No, no; Dad" Karl indicated with his head. Slowly, coming out of the trees was a lone T-rex, its low growl showing it was ready to kill.
"I see it. They don't" Frank muttered. They had to warn them! "We can make it" Frank nodded to his son. He just hopped that he was still in good running shape. He had always kept in shape, but was wondering if his middle age would be catching up with his running? "T-REX" Father and son shouted; breaking the silence. Pointing at the raging beast, the Scotts quickly ran to the two as they directed them towards the bar.
Rushing into the messy bar, Frank quickly shouted "We've got get out of here! Now"! He was interrupted as he locked eyes with a man, wearing a dirty cowboy hat! He had shaven, light brown hair; along with a beard and mustache with bits of grey. Blue eyes as cutting steel as he locked eyes with Frank.
"This way, follow me" he shouted! Leading the Scotts, along with his wife and friends; he opened up a small hatch that led down into the cellar. The man's blood ran cold, as he could see looking into his bar; the terrifying face of the t-rex. It snarled as it glared into the mammals eyes. Shaking off the fear, he quickly through himself into the cellar as he slammed the hatch shut.
Everyone became quiet, as they listened to it stomp above them. Smashing at the buildings sides to gain entrance, but obviously failing. Turning to face Frank, he said "What is that thing doing here? I mean, my sunstone is still glowing isn't it"?
Frank gulped, as he said "The stones are still glowing, but it's not stopping them. These T-rex are charging through like they don't exist".
"Maybe...huff..this wasn't such a good idea" Samantha noted as she kept having to readjust the sword on her belt; still trying to get used to the comfortable weight of the blade. During the cities evacuation, she had stopped by at the unguarded saurian armory, and had taken a short sword for herself. She had been tracking Mr. Scott and Karl's trail for a few hours now, ever since she had left waterfall city. She brushed aside frustrated tears as she tried her darnest to forget the events that had taken place in waterfall city.
"Jake, you stupid, stubborn jerk" she thought angrily. She had hoped that he would be on her side, and be wanting to leave this island with her! He said that he had loved her, and would always be by her side! But...in the time that he had asked for his help, he had stood by her parents; the very people that had wanted her to become just like Marion!
"A little miss perfect child, that does no wrong and doesn't think about doing anything bad otherwise" Samantha thought with extreme sarcasm. That had always been Marion's problem. She always wanted to do the right thing, and never say no to her parents, and of course; would lecture her if she did anything against their parents' wishes. "Really? You didn't say anything a month ago, when you helped free Karl, David and Jake when they were under house arrest".
Rubbing her eyes again to stop the anger tears, she thought "I can't think about Jake, Marion or my parents! If I do, I'll end up crawling back to them; where they'll be having smug looks that scream "I told you so, and "You should do the right thing next time". Bending down, she looked at the trails hard. "Hmm, the bigger one on the left must be Mr. Scotts, whilst the right set of footprints are Karl" Samantha mused.
Following them slowly, she thought "This is very odd. They're getting harder and harder to find. It looks like they started running here and then stop. Why would they do that". Remembering that T-rexes were probably running all over this area, she reasoned "That was probably why. They wanted to get out of any T-rexes scents so they wouldn't be followed".
Deciding to do the same, Samantha broke into a run as she quickly dashed off in the direction towards where the Scotts had gone.
Five miles east of waterfall city, the remnants of the city had managed to escape and had now camped out. Saurian guards and members of the skybax were taking shifts, and keeping watch out for any signs of T-rexes. Amongst them, was the worried Jake Scott. Ever since Samantha had left, he had seemed to turn off and had followed the others in a distant haze.
After everyone had gotten settled, Jake had spent a few hours searching the large camp for Samantha. He never found her. He told Waldo, but was informed that she was most likely around the camp somewhere. "Nothing" he thought bitterly. Sitting down near a campfire, he jumped as he saw Marion sitting next to him. "He..hey" he said softly, as he averted his eyes to the campfire.
"Hey" Marion said softly in return. "Are you alright Jake" she asked. She had noticed that he had been distant when he followed everyone here to the refugee camps that had been set up. "Probably worried about Samantha. Ooooh, darn you sis! Why do you have to act like such a child to prove your point? Why can't you ever do what your told"? "Your thinking about Samantha" Marion asked.
Jake nodded silently. "Yeah, I really went and blew it with her". When Marion said nothing, he looked at her as he said "I should have just agreed to go. Then she wouldn't have gone and disappeared on me like this". Jake had been so caught up, so interested into he island and wanting to help others; that he had neglected the role of a good boyfriend to hear out Samantha's side. Then again, she didn't really hear him out either.
"I'm sure she'll be back. She'll realize how foolish she's being and come back here. You don't have to worry" Marion smiled. She only wished that she could convince herself of that. Looking at Jake, she asked "What do you see in my sis anyway"?
Jake shrugged. "I don't know. She's outspoken, speaks her mind. Heh, likes to push things to the limit and beyond. Also, she seems so determined to not end up as a matriarch" he answered. Looking at a confused Marion, he said "I guess she's one of the kinds of people that don't like being able to choose their own destiny".
Looking at his own feet as he tossed a pebble into the fire, he said "Then again, no one really wants that now don't they? Being born, just to be decided by either your parents, or some unknown force on what's going to happen to you in life". Suddenly interested, he said "Its like when we were in the world beneath, I saw pictures on the walls, of me, Karl and David. That made me think: Was are arrival on this island coincidental..or was it destiny".
Marion shook her head, having no answer for that. She had noticed that he wasn't speaking about his father or brother. Perhaps he didn't want to, after what had happened. When Frank had said for the two of them to do what they wanted.
"This is what it's come to dad? You hate me now cause I wanted to stay and help "Jake thought bitterly. His dad seemed to have a rule; look out for yourself and family. Make sure that all compromises appease everyone". "But you broke that dad when you didn't consider how me and David felt. But you still seemed happy to leave. Why? Cause Karl was with you! Is that the only reason why you didn't go nuts? What would you have done if Karl wanted to stay as well"?
On the other side of camp, Romana could see David was deep in his own thoughts. She hadn't had allot of time to get to know him, but had gotten good impression on what sort of person he was during the training at Canyon City. A shy, secluded teenager who wanted to contact others, but was too secluded to go out and do so. Romana had met plenty of people like him in her life, yet there was something about him that drew her towards him.
David hummed softly to himself, as he glanced up to see Romana. Shrugging as she asked if he was alright, he thought "I'll never be good enough. Never". Hearing her claim, that they might change their mind and come back, David turned to her in as he answered in a somewhat gruffer voice "Then what"? "They've made it perfectly clear that they don't want to stay here. They come back, they're gonna keep moaning about their wonderful lives back home; keep trying to get off the island till they kill themselves. I say we just let them do it, move on and forget. I just don't care anymore".
Romana was shocked. From the way that he spoke about his dad and brother, the tone seemed to indicate that he held some resentment towards the two of them. "Come on, you don't mean that" Romana smiled, as she gently held David's hand.
"And what if I did? Would that be so out of character, so shocking for good old David" David remarked with heavy sarcasm. Noticing the look on Romanas face, he thought "She didn't do nothing wrong. She doesn't deserve your anger". Muttering a sorry, he sighed as she asked for him to talk to her.
"It's nothing new really. Karl and Dad, they're a team. The same" David grumbled. Looking at Marion, he said "Dad favors Karl cause they're so much alike, so to me; it's like I'm the outcast in my family". Shaking his head, he grumbled "That why me and Jake got along so well. We never got along well with Karl and Dad before the island".
"What do you mean, you never got along? Your family" Romana urged, but was silenced as David looked at her.
"Jake, he was able to earn some of dad's respect cause the two our little bit alike. Me, I'm completely different from him. It's like, I can never be good enough for my father. As far back as I can remember, I've been nothing but an embarrassment and a disappointment". Even when they were kids, Frank favored Karl, and sometimes Jake! He'd show up at Karl's basketball games. He'd show up at Jakes karate tournaments. "But when it comes to showing up at a spelling bee, or a science fair; you always made an excuse" David thought angrily.
"David, you can do no wrong" Romana smiled, as she tried to make him feel better.
"No, Karl's the one who can do no wrong. Me, I'm just an eternal screw up" David grumbled. Recounting some examples, he muttered "Weather its missing some stupid ball in little league, or not making the cut at sports camp. I think he was even embarrassed about the good grades I go". The duty of a father was supposed to be supportive of his son, praise him whenever he did good. Oh, not dad though. Never dad.
Romana could understand clearly now. David was the genius in trio of males that were into sports and saw intelligence as weakness or not worthy. At least not worthy enough for Frank. Either that, or he didn't see himself in David which was why he strayed more towards Karl. For that, David seemed to hold allot of contempt towards his dad for not being supportive of him and never being able to please his dad.
"For the first time in my life, I felt like I was finally doing something right, and pleasing my dad. Being a protector of this island and taking on a responsible role" David said softly, trying to think of one other time when he had pleased his dad. Apart from graduating high school with Karl, no. There was nothing. "So it's no big lost for my dad. He still has Karl, so he can forget all about me and Jake" David grumbled as Romana slowly hugged him, trying to make him feel better.
Night had fallen over the outpost, as outside the T-rex still hadn't left nor given up! It seemed determined to stay until they came outside where it would be waiting to feed itself! Down below in the cellar, Frank was playing black jack with the man who had introduced himself as Ethan Beyers, the forty four year old owner of this bar. Karl was in the corner, sleeping whilst the other two helpers of the bar were also sleeping.
Ethan chuckled, as he smirked "You know it's funny how fate works sometimes. I've avoided meeting you this entire time. Then you end up here because of a T-rex". He chuckled abit more, as Frank looked confused. It really was amusing on how everything seemed to be set up and predetermined for him.
"Avoided? Why" Frank asked. This man didn't look that important, didn't seem very different from him? Heck, most of the islanders seemed to travel just to go and meet Frank. What made this one so different?
He shrugged, as he said "I was the last person to arrive here on this island. The last offworlder, till you and your sons showed up".
Frank blinked. Here was a man that was not some oddball apart of a hopeless, backward society! Here was someone from another world! Not just any world; his world! "How long have you been here" Frank asked? Perhaps he had arrived a few years prior, so he could explain abit to him on what had happened to him?
"Twenty two years. The mayor of waterfall city claimed the last off worlder came here in 1944, but; there's a few of us that arrived. It's just that we refused to become citizens at first; wanting to leave and get back to our homes. But, as time went by; we accepted what happened and I guess we all just forgot to sign that scroll that showed our arrival" Ethan explained.
Frank's jaw almost dropped! Twenty two years? This man had been on this island, ever since 1980! Looking down, Frank figured this might be a touchy subject but he had to know! "Do you miss it" Frank asked curiously. The response he got was a deep chuckle from Ethan, and a bemused look.
"Are you kidding me? Why do you think I've avoided talking to you and your sons all this time? I didn't want to know about everything I've missed out on back home" Ethan smirked.
Frank frowned, uncertain. If he claimed that he was from back home... "You seem happy" Frank pointed out.
"Now yes, but it took awhile. I used to run a small charter boat out of Bermuda, deep sea fishing mostly. Myself and some colleagues were out one day and we got caught in a storm. Was a real heck of a storm. I was the only one who survived, and ended up here". Ethan said softly. He could see that Frank was beginning to understand his tale better through his facial expression, as he nodded towards Ethan to continue. "I spent the next five years, studying the currents and reefs; trying to find the best way out of here. Almost drowned, several times...but I kept at it till I found what I thought was the best place to try it".
"Did you" asked Frank, now on the edge of his seat! Clearly, he was very interested in this mans misfortunate tale of arrival on the peaceful island of Dinotopia.
"No..I was scared. So..after I gave up, I opened this place up and..." Ethan smiled as he nodded towards the sleeping woman. "Lucky thing I did, cause that where I met my wife".
"This place...you had planned to cross. Tell me about it" Frank asked, wanting to know every last detail.
"That's weird" grunted Dennis, as he brushed some heavy leafs out of his face. He had volunteered to briefly take the lead whilst they unwilling went to a village to get some supplies. They were never particularly welcome in any part of dinotopia, but that didn't mean that the lizard lovers would try and stop them since none of them had the guff to fight them.
"What is" asked an irate Quatron. Clearly, he was getting hungry. During the failed T-rex ambush, it would have brought some good roasted meat to their tables. Nothing tasted better then the cooked meat of a T-rexes carcass. That didn't go according to plan, so here he was now; wandering the wilds with the rest of his followers.
"That's three villages we've passed through now, and they've all been trapped by T-rexes. Yet, we haven't seen a single one since we came out of that burial chamber. How come their staying away from us" Dennis mused. Looking at the team carefully, he examined each one carefully. None of them possessed any sort of characteristic or ability that would keep the blood thirsty monsters away and yet...they didn't attack. Why?
"Maybe we don't give them enough credit. Maybe they've finally figured out what's best for them, hmm" he chuckled darkly. Even though he was really hungry right now, he felt like he was in a pretty good mood. Perhaps the T-rexes had spread word amongst each other about the power of the Outsiders, and how they were not to be trifled with!
Le Sage however, made a face as she grunted "Maybe cause you two stink". Quatron was giving off a nasty scent that was causing her to feel ill! Did the man even bathe at all? She knew he didn't really brush from his nasty looking teeth, but the least he could do was keep himself clean so he wouldn't annoy everyone around him.
Stopping, he remarked "Oh, and you smell so sweet my little flower. Well don't worry, you can run us both a bath. I'll take the time to get every little part clean"
Le Sage rolled her eyes, as she passed him remarking "I wouldn't advertise the little part if I was you". Chuckling at his glare, she walked past the men behind her laughed at the joke but shut up as Quatron glared at them. Getting next to Quint, she said "So, what's your opinion".
Quint raised a brow. "On what Le Sage" he asked?
Looking back at the beast of a man, Le Sage asked "Him? The meathead, you think he's gonna run us all into a pit with no way out"?
Quint shook his head, not wanting to answer since he didn't want to end up getting fed to a T-rex. That was Le Sages problem. She was the newest member of the Outsiders, and was constantly playing with her life by insulting their leader...
The refuges of Waterfall city, were on the move once more towards Vidabba earth farm. Carnivorous Pterranadons had been spotted five miles away from their position, clearly intent on getting their daily meals from the flesh of the unsuspecting innocents. David had quickly left with Romana, and the division of the Skybax that had been spared for that region to combat and buy some time for the refuges. Jake had vanished, leaving Backstop confused as he had vanished sometime after David had left.
Rosemary, considered but confident; did her best to keep from crying. Samantha had disappeared and as much as she wanted to quickly take the time to search for her, she knew that it couldn't be afforded. She had to think of not herself, but for those around her that needed food and shelter. Oddly enough, Jake was unable to be located either. Her thoughts were interrupted, as some familiar faces approached from another path that had been close to the Rainy Basin.
"Ethan, oh thank goodness your all safe" Rosemary smiled, as the man nodded towards her.
"We had a T-rex run in back at our place that came right out of the blue. It would have taken us by surprise had it not been for the Scotts" he informed. He blinked as Marion's eyes lite up in excitement.
"Scotts, what you saw them? Are they alright" She asked quickly. She had to know the fate of Karl, if he had made it and wants in trouble.
"They were fine. Frank gave us a message for David, and then they headed out on their way" Ethan informed as he put a hand to scratch neck.
"Where our they now" Marion asked.
"We met them at the trading post, and then they headed South. They were going towards the coast of Zarue" Ethan responded back.
"The coast of Zarue? Oh my god, they're going to head straight through the canyons. They're heading towards the Pterranadons" Marion panicked. Staring at her mother, she said "Mom, we've got to warn them".
All day, the two had walked. Frank and his son had taken the advice of Ethan, and had headed south towards Zarue. They had to take a few short stops whenever they came across an obstacle that would block them, so they're plans kept getting delayed. Making it to the start of the canyon, Frank wiped some sweat from his brow as he remarked "We've got a couple more days of walking I think. He said it was at the edge of that Canyon their".
"Karl, wait" called out a voice of concern. Whirling around to look at the voice, Karl gawked in shock. Marion was with some saurian guards as he remarked "Marion"? Not waiting for a word from his dad, he quickly rushed over to greet her.
"What's she doing here" Frank asked confused. Speaking of that, how did she catch up to them so quickly? "Must have followed on some trail that I didn't know about" he muttered as he quickly went over to ask her why she was here?
"Marion, what are you doing here" Karl asked, as he was met with a hardened glare from her. Hearing her say she came to save his life, he glared back at her. "We've been over this Marion" he said sternly. As much as he appreciated the concern, it really wasn't her business.
"I'm talking about the canyon Karl, look at it" Marion pointed out. Watching as he Scotts whirled around to see the screeching Pterranadons, she smirked inwardly. "They'll get discouraged. Once they see that there is no way to get across, they'll have to come back to earth farm with me" she thought victoriously.
"You came all the way here to warn us of this" Karl asked, feeling rather touched. He became abit annoyed again as he heard her shout to stop this suicide mission and to come back. "Marion, I can't" he said softly in an apologetic tone.
"Where's David and Jake" Frank asked, wanting to know the fate of his other sons.
"David flew out to the city, they're still people trapped there. As for Jake, I don't know" Marion informed. When Frank looked at Karl in shocked horror, she quickly said "He was with us when we were traveling to earth farm, but then he vanished". When she heard Frank still plan to keep going, she gave Karl a look. "You can stop him" she pleaded, wanting desperate to talk him out of it.
"I've already tried" Karl informed. Shaking his head, he said "Maybe we can both talk him out of it, you'll be safer with us anyway".
"Mr. Scott! Karl" A voice called out. The three blinked as the turned to see Samantha, panting as she grinned at the two. "I've finally caught up with you two" she smiled, as she approached them. She was abit surprised to see her sis, but choose to ignore her as she walked past her to Karl.
"What are you doing here Samantha? It's dangerous out there! How'd you" Karl had started, but was silenced as Samantha raised a finger to silence him. Clearly, this girl wanted to be heard and was going to be heard.
"I'm going with you two. I'm going to leave this island and not ever come back" informed the sassy teen. Feeling the hardened glare of her older sister, she turned to face her. "Yes" she asked casually. She had to keep herself from laughing at the deep share of reddish-purple that threatened to come to her face! Marion looked so mad, that it looked like her face was as red a tomato!
"You are not going anywhere. Your coming back to earth farm with me where it's safe" Marion informed, angry that she had chosen to go after the Scotts in some selfish, kids game of wanting to leave just because she was bored. She was really getting sick of these silly games that Samantha seemed to enjoy pulling on her to just prove a point.
"I'm not talking to you. Since, you keep saying that I don't have a choice in whatever destiny happens to me, I'm going to prove you wrong and alter that destiny" Samantha grinned, enjoying making her sister mad as she turned to Mr. Scott. "So, please take me with you Mr. Scott" she smiled. She watched as Frank, put a hand to his head. Clearly, he was uncomfortable with the situation that had been presented to him.
"Look, I don't know about taking you with us. But for now, you'll have to stay with us since its gotten so dangerous" Frank informed, as he looked at Marion helplessly, who could only nod in misery.
"Agg" David groaned in pain, as he was carried by Romana, and a few of the other recruits. Whilst in battle, David had been slashed across the chest by a Pterranadon and had to be applied medicine immediately if he was to keep alive. Put onto a bed, David was drifting back and forth out of consciousness as he looked up to see Rosemary applying a cold rag to his forehead; so it would keep any fever he was getting down.
"Are you alright" she asked, concerned for the offworlder. She turned to Romana, who nodded at her. She could see how badly she wanted to stay with David and comfort him, but her duty and for how few there were on protecting their area of the island; she could not.
"Romana, and the others...did they make it" David asked quietly. Hearing that they were, David breathed a sigh of relief. It made him feel much better to know that he hadn't let them down. Sure, the pain in his chest hurt but..he'd do it a million times if it meant keeping his friends safe. Looking up, he couldn't see Marion. "Where's Marion" he asked, confused.
"She went after Karl and Frank, they were heading towards a Pterranadon nest. She needed to warn them" Rosemary started, but was shocked as David angrily snapped at her.
"You let her go? How could you do that" David asked her, incredously. He was stunned as Rosemary explained, that she had to let her go since she felt responsible for allowing them to leave. "I shouldn't have let her go, what was I thinking" David groaned. Adrenaline pumped through, as he said "I gotta stop them".
"No, you need to rest" Rosemary said, as she gently laid his head back on the pillow.
"Wh..where's Jake" David then asked.
"He's gone. We don't know where but...I can only assume that he went after my daughter. She was trying to follow the trail of your father and brother" Rosemary relayed. Sighing, as she watched David moan "Oh great. Another brother goes AWOL on me". Looking out at the waiting Ethan, she informed "Someone's here to see you".
Arriving at the seaside town of Zarue, the Scotts and Syvillies were shocked to see the town was completely deserted! Not a single soul remained, giving off a ghost town feel to the five adventurers. Even Karl pointed out the absences of people and dinos, as he remarked "Where the hell is everyone"? Not receiving an answer, he watched out of the corner of his eye as his dad went down further into the town, towards the water as he followed Marion to a sign.
"They all left. They took the boats and sailed up the coast" she informed.
"Probably ran when they heard that the matriarch in making was coming, so they ran cause they were afraid they're town wouldn't be good enough for her" Samantha joked, as she ignored the glare from her sis.
"Guys" A voice shouted. The teens turned, as they watched a boy around Samantha's age, approach; panting and out of breathe. Looking up, he remarked "I finally caught up".
"Jake" Karl asked, not able to believe his eyes. Approaching him, he quickly hugged his brother as he said "What are you doing here"?
"I..huff...came to stop..huff..Samantha from making the biggest mistake of her life" Jake said, as he looked at his girlfriend. Wincing at her glare, he said "Are you alright"? She didn't look her, and she had somehow gotten all the way down here without hurting herself.
"Humph, I'm alright. At least I was till you showed up" She huffed, as she crossed her arms. Ignoring Jake, she said "I'm leaving this island Jake, and your not gonna stop me".
Frustrated with Samantha, he swore "Damnit it Samantha, I'm only thinking about what's best for you". The moment those words left his mouth, he realized that it came out wrong as he said "I..I didn't mean it like".
"You sure as hell did! You're not one of my parents, acting like you know what's best! That's what everyone in my family does! They never listen to what I want for my life, already laying out my life like a map! Your my boyfriend Jake...at least I thought you were" Samantha shouted, as she stalked over to where Frank was calling.
"Samantha wait! I didn't mean.." Jake started, but was stopped by Marion as she said "Let her go, she's been feeling...frustrated". Sighing in annoyance, Jake muttered "And the award to the worst, most thoughtless boyfriend in the world goes to...Jake Scott".
"Oh by quiet" Karl grunted, as he walked ahead with Marion towards Frank. Jake joined them, as he reunited with his dad who was happy to see him well, but looked abit saddened. Most likely he was thinking about what had happened the last time they talked, and how he had said he "didn't care" about what happened to him.
Saying he was glad that Jake was safe, he pointed at the boat he had found. It seemed big enough to support them all. "It's not exactly J-class. But it'll have to do" Frank informed. Taking out the map he had gotten from Ethan, he said "Now the way I see it, we sail due south about two miles; that where we cross the reef".
Marion looked horrified! They were really going to go through with this! They'd be killed! Grabbing Karl by the shoulder, she pleaded "Karl, you've got to stop him! You can't do this"! Turning to Frank, who looked solemn; she begged "Mr. Scott please, you've got to come back to earth farm with me. Look, there are people there and they'll".
"And what Marion? What? You know my father's right! Nowhere on this entire island is safe now! We're better off taking our chances with the reef. Now you got to come with us. You can't stay here" Karl informed.
"I'm not leaving the island" Marion shouted!
"You don't have a choice. Cause, I'm not leaving here without you" Karl pleaded back to her.
Jake looked at Samantha, who seemed happy that they were leaving. Glaring at her, he got her attention "Do you think this is all a game? That the people dying and getting hurt is all just a game? Even if you leave, what about your family and friends"?
"What about them" Samantha asked, brushing his hands off.
"What if they get killed? Whilst your off floating in the Caribbean, giddy that you had managed to leave your home, what if you wanna come back someday? Your family we'll be gone" Jake shouted!
"Are you blaming me? Maybe if you had willingly traveled with me to leave this island, then we wouldn't be having this conversation" she shouted back!
Frank quickly cut off any further arguments from the kids, as he pointed "ITS TWO LATE! LOOK"! Pteranadons had caught up; determined to keep them from escaping. "Get in the boat! Now" Frank shouted! Ignoring Marion's pleas to not get in, he gently shoved her to get in as Samantha quickly got in as well.
Karl and Jake on the other hand got out as Frank quickly had started to push the boat away. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" Frank screamed at his sons as he watched them pick up two thick pieces of plank. "LOOK OUT" he shouted as two birds dive-bombed at the two boys.
Karl let out a scream of defiance, as he slammed the plank into the birds face; bringing it down before rushing towards the boat. Jake on the other hand, muttered "Wish I had my sword". He had left it back in waterfall city though. Stepping to the side, he raised the plank as the dumb bird crashed into it as it then slammed into a small house.
Casting off, the six watched in shock as the pterrandons slowly circled Zarue and as a T-rex showed up! It was a good thing they had left! But as Frank led them further and further away from the island, Jake noticed that the skies began to darken and the wind began to blow. Hearing his dad point out where they would make the crossing, he gulped nervously.
However, it seemed that that fate had other plans for the six who dared to try and cross the reef. The sky was a black nightmare of electrical flashes, and lightning bolts! Rained poured brutally against the pathetic boat! "Dad, we need to turn back! Now! Look at that thing" Karl shouted.
"Its the mother lode of storms! Dad, turn us around! We'll get fried if we try going through that" Jake shouted in fear!
Frank turned around slowly, as he gasped! This storm! It looked exactly like the one that he and his sons had got caught in when they had first crash landed on the island. Stunned by the terrifying sight, the oar in his hand slipped out! "Shoot! Get the oar" he shouted as he and his sons reached out to grab it!
Without the oar, the boat began to rock back and forth, dangerously as increasing waves was making it worse to keep the boat steady! Trying to keep it steady, a fierce wave slammed into Frank, knocking him out of the boat and into the unforgiving sea! Karl screamed for his father before he and Marion were knocked over as well! "Samantha! Hold on tight" Jake screamed as he reached out to grab his sinking brother!
Samantha let out a chocked cry of shock, as Jake slowly looked up. A massive wave, that towered over the trio caused the two teens too let out screams of terror, before it came crashing down onto them; plunging them into an unbearable darkness...
Once more, I apologize for the delay. I had been abit depressed, but I'm back now. So, the second part of episode 2 we'll be released sometime this week, or the beginning of next week. Until then, please R&R.
