Chapter 9: Inside the Cage
The Doctor, Claire, River, and Karen were walking down the black road in search of the others. Now that they knew the Silence built this park and put hybrid dinosaur alien predators into it, they felt it imperative to find everyone else before they were killed. Eventually, they found a door that led to a large glass cage. The door was open.
"What do you think is in there?" Karen asked.
"Someone must have wanted to find out." River said. "They're probably still in there since they didn't shut the door."
"My sons could be in there." Karen said.
"Then it's worth checking out." The Doctor said.
So, the four of them entered through the open door and into the jungle that was enclosed in this large glass cage. What they did not know was that this was the cage of the Cyber-Raptors and there were two of them still on the hunt. They walked cautiously for a little while, until Karen got impatient.
"Zach! Gray!" She shouted.
"Shh!" The Doctor said to her. "We don't know what's in here. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves."
"What if they're hiding somewhere?" Karen asked. "They could be right there behind the bushes as we wouldn't even know unless we called out to them."
"We're no use to them if we get ourselves killed." River said.
"Doctor!" Rory said as he emerged through the trees. "I was hiding in a sort of closet thing. Now we need to leave. We can't stay here."
"Why?" Claire asked. "What's in here?"
"Whoever made this park, they're making hybrids of dinosaurs and aliens." Rory said.
"We know." The Doctor said. "It's Madame Kovarian and the Silence again."
"What's this cage built for?" River asked.
"A hybrid of raptors and Cybermen." Rory said.
"Where are the others?" Claire asked.
"We split up." Rory said. "Zach, Scott, and I were investigating in here. Owen, Amy, and Gray are somewhere else in the park."
"Where are Zach and Scott?" Karen asked.
"I don't know." Rory said. "We were cornered by three Cyber-Raptors. They hunt better in packs. So, we thought the best thing to do was split them up. I managed to hide from my raptor. It's still here somewhere. We need to go."
"No." Karen said. "Zach and Scott are still here too. I'm not leaving without them."
"We need a plan." Claire said.
"It just so happens that I've got one." The Doctor said. "Back at the lab I noticed something when we passed by blueprints and DNA samples in each of the hybrids. They're all connected. They each have a special chip in their brains. If it's activated, all the hybrids will die. I suspect Kovarian built that in case she needed to shut this place down."
"So we need to go back to Jurassic Planet Laboratories and activate the chips." River said.
"I'm not going anywhere until we find my son." Karen said.
"Then I'll stay here with you." Rory said. We'll look for them together while the others go back and kill all the hybrids."
"There's just one problem." River said. "My vortex manipulator needs to recharge. We can't teleport there. We'll have to go back on foot."
"Then we better hurry." Claire said.
"Once you find Zach and Scott, run back to the TARDIS." The Doctor said.
"What about Amy and the others?" Rory asked.
"We don't have time to find them now." The Doctor said. "They'll be safest once we kill all the hybrids."
The Doctor, River, and Claire then turned around and ran back towards the entrance to the cage. Rory and Karen remained inside the large Cyber-Raptor area. The two of them cautiously searched around. They were hesitant to call out any names because they knew that there was at least one Cyber-Raptor still on the hunt. Suddenly they saw a strange rustling of the bushes in front of them. They began to fear the worst and unfortunately, they were right. A Cyber-Raptor emerged from the bushes and stood in front of them, ready for another kill.
