Chapter Two: Zach and Gray

"How big is the island?" A boy about ten years in age with sandy blond hair and gray eyes wearing a plaid shirt underneath a short-sleeved pale gray hoodie, dark blue shorts that reach his knees, dark shoes with white bottoms, and a red fanny pack with a purple strap was wrapped around his waist. "Big." Another boy, this one about sixteen years old, with black hair and brown eyes wearing a red shirt underneath a gray hoodie, dark gray-black jeans, and blue-and-white shoes replied in a monotone.

"Yeah, but how many pounds?" The blond asked before seeing a redheaded woman in what looks like a lab coat. "Aunt Claire!" He ran to the redhead and hugged her until she gently pushed him away. "Hey Zach," Claire said as she looked at the teenager who was standing a couple feet away. "Last time I saw you, you were-" She gestured to her waist. "That was like what, three or four years ago?"

"Seven." Zach said before noticing the dark haired woman standing next to her. "Zara is going to take great care of you guys until I'm done working." Claire said as she must of noticed Zach's confusion. "You're not staying with us?" The blond asked sadly. "Sorry, I have too much work to do," She said as an attempt to console him. "So here are some VIP passes for you two, and I'm sure you'll take very good care of them." She said the last part to Zara before she left them in the courtyard.

Hours Later...

"Dude... off road." Zach said as he, Gray, and Diana rode in the Gyrosphere and went through a broken gate. "They told us to go back..." Gray tried to counter but couldn't find the courage to. They met Diana on their way from the Mosasaurus tank, and Gray took a liking to her as she answered every question he asked, except for one question about her family.

"No, no. Bad idea! Bad idea!" Gray kept trying to argue as they went deeper into the forest. "Great idea." Zach just replied with a hint of energetic in his voice. "NO! We'll get arrested, they'll shave our heads, and we'll have to make root beer in the toilet!" That caught Diana's attention as well as Zach's. "What prison movie have you been watching?" She asked curiously as they arrived in a clearing with four armor-shelled dinosaurs eating the plants nearby. "See, I told you," Zach said as he pointed at the dinosaurs. "You're welcome, up close and personal with four... dinosauruses."

"Ankylosaurus." Diana answered for him. "We shouldn't be here, and there's five dinosaurs." Gray pitched in, which made both teenagers count the dinosaurs to see if they messed up. "Aren't you suppose to be a genius or something?" Zach asked him curiously. "Look... one, two, three, four." "Five." Gray breathed out as he pointed straight in front of them. Zach and Diana looked at where he was pointing... to see the reflection of a dinosaur behind them as the other dinosaurs looked at it simultaneously.

They looked behind them, and out of the three: Diana recognized who it was. "Hello!" Storming Gale roared out, and scared the near crap out of Zach and Gray as scream and reach for the joystick. But they get knocked to the side by Storming Gale as she runs towards the Anklyosauruses to create some friends. "Pull it together!" Zach yells at Gray, who is nearly crying, until he gets smacked upside the head by Diana as the Gyrosphere stopped in between Storming Gale and the Anklyosauruses. "That stung!"

"Be nicer to your brother, you bastard or else I'll hit you somewhere you don't want me to hit." Diana retorted, which made Zach blanch instantly before an Anklyosaurus' tail slams the Gyrosphere into rolling again until it slams into a tree and they end upside down. "You want a go?" Storming Gale asks as the Ankylosaurus tried to hit her. She tried to destroy the shell, but it's too hard for her teeth so she accidentally scratches its' leg as she tried to grab it and instead uses her head to flip it over before grabbing its' head with her teeth... and twisted it.

"We're save in here right?" Gray asked as he looked at the older ones in the Gyrosphere with him. "Yeah, totally safe." Diana reassured him, until they heard something grinding and looked up to see Zach's phone on the ceiling with Claire's picture showing up. "Zach." Gray whispers as Zach reaches for it but misses by centimeters. "I've almost got it." He said with his face slowly turning red. "Zach!" Diana says as she slapped his arm. "Yeah?" He asks as she still tries to get his phone. "Look." Both Gray and Diana said, and that is enough to make him see what they're looking at.

Storming Gale stares at them in worry before blinking and seemed to made up her mind as she slowly rolls the Gyrosphere to right them before smashing a claw into it. "That won't do, let's see about this." She says to herself as she opens her jaw and bites the Gyrosphere until her teeth went through the glass in order to pick it up and slam it back onto the forest ground repeatedly, even after the glass behind them broke.

Diana noticed instantly and unbuckled her belt before grabbing onto Zach and Gray's as Storming Gale lifts the Gyrosphere again and unbuckled them too, causing all three of them to fall onto the ground just as the Gyrosphere slams around them. "Run!" She shouts and the two follow her as Storming Gale drops the Gyrosphere before chasing after them.

"Quick! Go!" Zach shouts as he notices Gray and Diana stopped at the edge of the forest to wait for him. They continue running and only stopped once to see Storming Gale burst through the trees. "Wait!" "Oh crap!" Gray shouts, and this time Zach doesn't yell at him. They stop at a cliff before turning around to see her getting closer. "We're gonna have to jump!" Zach says as he turns to Gray. "I can't!" Gray tries to reason with him. "On three," Diana interjects as Storming Gale gets closer with every second. "One, two, three!"

And they all jump, narrowly escaping Storming Gale's jaws before plunging into the river.
