DISCLAIMER: Primeval was created by Adrian Hodges and Tim Haines. I do not own Primeval, I only own the new team.

A/N: I know MrandMrsTemple mentioned that Nick doesn't seem bothered by what happened to Daniel so in this chapter I will hopefully have fix that.

Please R&R, I always value your opinions.

Chapter 6

Kira Mercer stood in the ARC International Armoury, an army of Special ops soldiers stood in front of her. She looked to Dr Truman who was installing some sort of system into the armour of two soldiers. Annoyed that she was been kept in the dark she asked, "What are you doing?"

Truman didn't look up from the armours control pad on the arm of the soldiers, but still replied, knowing she would be Predator dinner if she didn't reply. "Although the chance of seeing the Temples and Cross' will break the mind control, the armour will force them to finish their mission whether they want to or not."

Sighing, Mercer replied "Right get ready to send them down in five minutes." Without waiting for a reply she left for her office.

"Yes Ma'am" Truman sighed.

Heading back from the control centre, Abby Temple and Dylan Cross were laughing at how easily the Troodon went down. While both Abby and Dylan hated to have to hurt the creatures they encountered, learned in the early days of ARC International, that easiest way to deal with this job was to have a joke and a laugh with each other. They now have weekly conference calls to talk about missions and life in general. These conversations have made both parties a lot more relaxed about their jobs.

"Those Troodon didn't see us coming" Dylan laughed, high-fiving her friend.

"I'm glad we got the Duke and Ductchess of York away from them" Abby replied, before laughing, "Did you see Prince Andrew trying to fight back?"

"Yeah, I don't think he guessed Troodon had razor sharp teeth" Dylan nodded.

"I know, I didn't think royals used language like that" Abby laughed.

Before Dylan could reply the tail of a huge theropod slammed into the Canadian, sending her flying to the floor unconscious.

Abby rushed to her friends side "Dylan?" When no answer came, she checked for a pulse and luckily found one. "Right, what are you?" She turned to face the huge creature, which let out a huge roar. Abby immediately noticed the scaring on its side. Her EMD fell from her hands, moments before her legs collapsed. This creature was the same that killed her son 6 years ago.

A short distance away, Nick and Sarah burst into the command centre with Prince George in tow. The latter who seemed astonished by the technology. Looking around he said, "When I'm King I think I'll replace the military with you lot."

Nick shot the royal a funny look, but decided it was best not to pursue the conversation any further. Instead he checked the two monitors. Seeing that everything was clear, he let out a sigh of relief; however the lull in activity didn't last long.

"Guys" A rather nervous Toby announced. On the screen Connor Temple ran to his wife, who was breaking down. He turned round to face the giant theropod that killed his son. His EMD fell to the ground, as they both froze.

Nick saw the footage, his eyes filled up as the memory of that fateful day replayed in his head. For 6 years, he had blocked the painful memories out, but the sight of the creature responsible, brought it all back. The fare at the Town Hall, the games he and Daniel played, the screaming, the wall crumbling, the theropod bursting into the building, before charging at his brother.

"Oh Nick" Sarah sympathised, taking the young team leaders hand. She knew how Nick had dealt with the memory of what happened, she also knew what he'd said he would do if he had the chance.

The young team leader let go of Sarah's hand, before grabbing one of the sub-machine guns, before running out of the command centre. He stopped between his parents and the dinosaur that killed his brother. He placed the stock into his shoulder, and whispered "This one's for you Dan", before opening fire. The huge lumbering creature staggered as bullets hit its side from every angle. It let out a huge roar, before collapsing to the ground with a thud. Nick carried on firing for a few more moments before throwing the weapon on the floor.

Connor was the first to regain his composure; he picked his EMD up before uneasily finding his feet. He looked at the huge body of his son's killer, despite knowing the consequences of what his son had just done, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He turned to his son, who seemed to be in shock, reaching over to his son he asked, "You alright?"

Nick shook his head. He had promised to avenge Dan's death if he ever got the chance, and it was one of his main reasons for wanting to join the ARC. Finally composing himself he sighed, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have killed it. I just needed to do it…for Dan…"

Connor closed his eyes. He knew how his eldest son felt, but he didn't think that Nick would go through with it. Opening them he sighed before saying, "I know." He turned to his wife, pulling her to her feet.

Abby looked at the Daspletosaurus, usually she hated the creatures been hurt, let alone killed, but as far as this theropod was concerned, she was only annoyed it hadn't been done sooner. She steeped over to Nick, before hugging him. "Thank you" she sobbed.

Nick sighed "I didn't do anything."

Pulling away, Abby pulled a face of annoyance before saying, "You saved our life, and avenged your brother. I'd say that was something."

Before Nick could argue, Evan Cross ran past. As he reached the group, Abby was helping Dylan to her feet. Seconds later Max and Thomas ran past. Max helped keep his mother from falling back down. Thomas on the other hand noticed the body of Daspletosaurus but also seeing the MP-7 on the ground decided it was best not to ask.

"Mom, you sure you okay?" Max asked, concern and panic were clear in his voice.

"Max I'm fine" Dylan replied, picking up her fallen EMD, "This isn't the first time a creature has knocked me out."

Max looked at her, then to his father. If that was supposed to calm him, it really didn't work. Seeing the fear in his sons eyes, Evan spoke up.

"She'll be fine Max" the Canadian team leader reassured.

"If you say so" Max sighed, still not convinced.

During the exchange between the Cross family, the others had been distracted. Sarah had run down after hearing the rifle fire, seeing the creature's body, she ran up to Nick. Before he could speak Sarah had wrapped her arms around him, in a crushing hug. They broke apart, before sharing a brief kiss.

This action didn't go unnoticed by Connor. Smiling he walked up to his son, before asking "Something you two want to tell us?" Seeing the pair split apart, with red faces, he burst into a fit of laughter.

"In your own time guys" Thomas joked. He enjoyed been with his friends, but still felt uneasy by the unfamiliar Canadian team that was nearby. Trying to ignore it he joined Connor in laughing at the pair.

Seconds later, an anomaly like light appeared after a few moments a Predator appeared, it looked at the group before running away. Clearly it had a different target. Seconds later two more flashes of light appeared and two of ARC International soldiers appeared. Both of them wearing the overly familiar special opts armour, and both holding heavily armed EMD's.

The first soldier forced Connor back towards Abby, pointing the EMD at them. He switched the weapon on, as the second soldier cornered Evan and Dylan and charged the EMD. The younger team were pushed to the side by both soldiers, knowing their EMDs were useless they could only stand and watch. The two couples braced themselves as they heard the familiar charging that EMDs make just before firing.

In a small room in the palace, Kendall tied the King and Queen to some chairs, "Sorry your highness, nothing personal" the American laughed.

"Mind the suit!" Lester shouted as a second soldier pushed him into the room, before Kendall tied him a third chair. Why did this always happen? First he went through the vetting process, only to find out the knighthood was for Phillip, and now his Peerage was interrupted by his own boss.

"Sorry James" Mercer smiled, knowing Lester's fondness of Italian suits she knew the answer to her next question, "Italian?"

"Yes" Lester hissed. Think back he wished he'd taken the offer to run ARC International, but at the time he didn't believe he could trust Matt to run things smoothly.

Grabbing the lapels on Charles' suit, she grinned as she said, "Do as I say or your grandson will become dino food."

I know Abby hates the creatures being killed but I honestly think that in this case she would make an exception.

Can you guess who the two soldiers are?

Please review and let me know what you think.
