Chapter 1:

"Connor, be careful!" Abby called. "We don't know where it is!"

"I know," Connor nodded and looked around as he carefully made his way through the truck loading dock. "I'm careful as can be!" He stumbled over a can of paint.

Abby gave him a look.

"Most of the time…" Connor muttered and raised his EMD as he looked around.

"Any luck?" Matt's voice came over the coms; he and Becker were checking the other side of the super market.

"None so far," Connor shook his head.

"Connor knock it off!" Abby snapped as she heard another can clatter against the ground.

"That wasn't me!" Connor hissed; he was on the opposite side of the loading bay from where she had heard the noise. They shared a look then both turned towards the area and aimed their EMDs at it.

"See anything?" Connor asked as they slowly approached the pile of crates in the corner.

"If I did you would be the first to know," Abby hissed quietly. She scanned the area for movement.

There was another clattering noise behind them.

"Abby look out!" Connor yelled. He tackled her to the ground as an Aublysodon leapt at them. It crashed into the crates and laid there dazed for a few moments. "Get up." Connor pulled Abby to her feet and dragged her away from the dinosaur and into the storage unit.

"Wait my EMD!" Abby protested; it had been knocked out of her hands.

"Leave it!" Connor pulled her forward, and the two ran deeper into the building. "It's too dangerous to go back!"

"Connor? Abby?" Matt barked. "What is going on?"

"Uhhh Aublysodon!" Connor said. "Late Cretaceous era hunter, fast, 1.5 meters in length. Basically a mini Tyrannosaurus."

"Thank you walking encyclopedia!" Abby growled. She glanced behind them and watched as the "Blunt Toothed" lizard was gaining on them. "Connor!"

Connor glanced back and frowned. "How close are you guys?" He asked.

"Not close enough," Matt replied. "We're still at the front!"

"Well hurry up and get over here!" Abby snapped. "Connor use your EMD!"

"Can't," He panted. "Dropped it back in the loading bay!"

"Brilliant!" Abby growled. "Now what?"

"I think we only have one option," Connor looked at her as the anomaly came into view.

"What's that?" Abby asked, glancing back at the Aublysodon.

"Through the anomaly!" Connor exclaimed.

"Are you crazy?" Becker nearly shouted over the Coms.

"We don't have a choice!" Connor gasped back.

"Be careful!" Matt told them.

Abby and Connor looked at each other and ran through the anomaly and arrived in the Late Cretaceous.

Matt and Backer arrived at the anomaly a few moments later. The Aublysodon wasn't in sight so they assumed it had gone through the anomaly.

"What do we do about the anomaly?" Becker asked Matt.

"Wait till they come back." The team leader shrugged.

"And if they don't?"

"That's not an option."

Connor kept running even after they had gone through. But Abby paused and looked back at it as if waiting.

"Abby come on!" Connor tugged on her arm.

"Wait," Abby said. "Something isn't right. It hasn't come through."

"Yet!"

"But it was right behind us!" Abby said. She looked at the anomaly expectantly.

"Maybe it got scared and ran away," Connor shrugged.

Abby rolled her eyes but she didn't have time to respond. There was a loud growl that came from behind them. The both turned and froze to the spot in fear.

A ginormous Tyrannosaurus Rex stood before them. It roared.

"Run?" Connor asked Abby.

"Wait…." She needed to see if it had spotted them. The T-Rex snapped its mouth towards them. "Run!"

The two held hands and ran for the trees.

"I hope the anomaly stays open this time!" Connor muttered as he felt the thundering footsteps of the "Tyrant Lizard" behind them.
