Chapter 7

The two couples braced themselves as they heard the familiar charging that EMDs make just before firing. A Predator charged towards the ever increasing group. Max noticed the future bat first. He raised his EMD. For a moment he considered trying to shoot the ARC International soldier, knowing that the armour simply charge up from the small blast the EMD's could fire, he fired at the Predator. To his horror he missed. This gained the attention of the others, who turned to face the vicious killer which jumped into the air, claws raised. To the shock of the group the two soldiers fired their EMD's, sending the creature crashing to the ground.

"Now I'm even more confused" Nick sighed. Today he seemed to have befriended the King, killed the same Daspletosaurus that killed his brother, and now the very people they were working against had just saved their lives, and to think the time was only 11am.

Both soldiers looked at each other and nodded. They unclipped the protected wires that were used to provide extra power to the EMD's. After this they threw their weapons to the ground.

Abby and Connor glanced to each other. Nodding they grabbed the Special opts EMDs, before pointing them at the chests of the two soldiers, who simply raised their hands.

"What's going on?" Sarah shouted. All the team were feeling the strain of the job today, and tempers were running high.

This was true for Abby who shouted, "Sarah! We'll deal with this!" She didn't want to shout at the youngest Becker, but this was too serious for the teenagers to handle.

"What's going on?" Connor repeated. Fortunately he didn't see his wife roll her eyes.

Neither soldier replied, until Abby charged her weapon, which luckily still runs on power packs, so still worked when apart from the armour. The first soldier tilted his head before speaking, "Oh, you don't wanna do that." He had a strong cockney accent.

Connors face fell; he hadn't heard that voice in seventeen years. It couldn't be their former team leader. Composing himself he stated, "I know that voice."

"Should do" The soldier removed his helmet, showing the familiar face of the ex-police officer.

"Danny!" Both Connor and Abby shouted as they hugged their lost friend. Pulling away from each other, they didn't have a chance to speak the second soldier spoke.

"Miss me?" He removed his helmet showing the face of the familiar British biker.

"Mac!" Both Evan and Dylan shouted as they hugged him. Before the three could speak, Toby walked out of the Hub, and seeing the familiar face of her best friend, she ran up to him engulfing him in a bear hug.

"Toby" Mac smiled, returning the hug. As the Canadian coordinator stepped back, Mac grinned.

"What?" Toby asked, slightly unsure about what her best friend was grinning at.

"You're looking old" Mac smiled.

For the first time Toby realised that Mac hadn't aged since she had last seen him at the side of her hospital, while she had aged eighteen years. She was now 49 while Mac was still 25, deciding not to let the age difference get to her, she made a joke "Yeah well anyone would grow old waiting for you."

Nick was pleased to finally meet two of the many ARC International staff, who previously he had only read or heard about, but now they did have to deal with Mercer and Kendell. Turning to Abby he said "Mum, I think we need to get going." He tried to stay confident, but his nerves were evident.

Abby smiled weakly at her son. She agreed with him, but didn't want to leave Danny alone in case he vanished again.

Danny pulled a face, before deciding to ask "Who's this?"

Connor's face fell, he'd forgotten to introduce his son. Shaking his head he turned so he could see both Danny and Nick before saying "Danny meet my son: Nick."

Smiling weakly, he was getting quite worried now. He still felt nervous from how the Daspletosaurus awoke something in him he didn't know was there. Trying to do what he had done for six years, he ignored the memories of Daniel, and offered his hand to the former team leader "Danny, great to finally meet you."

"Likewise" Danny smiled, before turning to the older Temples "Why'd you not name your son after me?"

Abby's face fell. Connor sighed before closing his eyes. Taking a deep breath Abby finally replied, "It's…umm…a long story."

"NICK! SARAH!" a voice shouted. Running up to them was the final member of the new team. As Michelle arrived, she tripped over a bump in the ground, falling forward into Max.

"Careful" Max smiled, as he pulled Michelle to her feet.

Michelle quickly regained her footing, smiling at Max she turned to the rest of the group, "The King, Queen and Lester have been taken hostage!"

Laughing slightly, Danny interrupted by saying "Well they'll soon give Lester back."

Connor grinned at the comment before turning to his son he said, "Nick, your team leader, what's the plan?"

Nick's eyes widened, he didn't have a clue how they were going to stop the creatures, save the royals and Lester. Shaking his head he announced, "Evan your call."

Nodding, Evan thought quickly before saying, "Connor, Abby go with Thomas, Max and Michelle you need to get Lester and the royals back. Nick and Sarah go with Mac and Danny you four need to get over to HQ and stop the creatures. Jess and Toby coordinate, and me and Dylan will take the Prince back to the palace." Nodding to Prince George who, along with Jess, had stepped outside to see what was going on.

"Come on" Abby nodded, as the five ARC team members ran towards the main palace building.

"Let's get you out of here" Dylan smiled, as she and Evan signalled to the north west entrance. The three of them ran towards the door.

"Back to work" Jess chirped as the two field coordinators entered the command centre.

Sarah looked at her boyfriend, before turning to the two long lost team members. How were the supposed to get to ARC International? It was on a small island off the eastern coast of Ireland. Think of no possible solutions she asked, "How are we supposed to get there?"

"We can help with that" Mac replied with a grin, "The anomaly portal we used works both ways."

Nick let out a huge sigh, "Let's go then."

"Alright, hold on" Danny replied as Nick put his hand on Danny's shoulder. Sarah did the same to Mac, moments later the four of them vanished in a flash of light.

Did you see that coming?
