The once grey sky was now light shades of pink, orange, and blue. The clouds spread wide across the horizen with red sun falling down slowly behind them. There was light breeze running through the air. The grey and brown skin of the dinosaurs stood out splotched along the green grass. The red blossoms on the trees could be seen clearly from a distance and the dark leaves against the sun-setting sky was another thing that stood out.
Tricity's watch read 8:03 p.m. and they had just now gotten across the lake. Shadow and Tricity had switched steering places every now and again. Shadow was the one right now. Just then, they got a call from Espio.
"Hello?" Tricity answered the phone.
"T-tricity! Y-you have to c-come quick!" Espio yelled.
"Why?!"
"J-just come!" Espio said as he hung up.
"What's the matter?!" Shadow asked.
"Espio is in trouble! We have to go now!" Replied Tricity.
"What's the fastest dinosaur in this place?" Asked Shadow.
"Right now, this one is all we've got. Move! Let me steer." Yelled Tricity.
Shadow got out the way as fast as possible and Tricity climbed in front of him. She clasped both ends of the rope and smacked them hard against the neck of the animal.
"Hold on, Shadow!" She yelled.
Shadow grabbed Tricity's sides and they started moving. Tricity steered the creature around the lake and the dinosaur gained speed with the more he ran. They bouned across the clearing large leaps as the dinosaur came the forest.
"This is the forest where we lost Espio. Come on! Let's go!" Tricity said as she smacked the rope on the rough skin even harder.
The animal took off through the forest like lightning bolts.
In the distance, a purple shape could be seen under a tree.
"There's Espio. Let's go!" Tricity said.
Shadow jumped off the dinosaur followed by Tricity. They ran to Espio.
"Why did you want us to come so quick?" Asked Tricity.
Just then, the T-rex came bounding out of the forest.
"T-that's w-why." Espio repiled.
"Why aren't you worried about this?!" Yelled Tricity.
"B-because. I k-know i'm going to die." Said Espio.
"Don't talk like that! You're not going to die!" Replied Tricity.
"Face the facts, Tricity! I c-can't breath. I-I can't get up. I c-an't even s-speak right! I'm going to die whether you like it or not." Espio informed her.
"Well, whatever happens. I'll try to protect you." Replied Tricity.
Then the t-rex came right behind them...
