A few months ago, the sounds of Dinosaurs hooting and grunting whenever you woke up would've been a disturbance. However, for the three young adults, this was the equivalent of listening to your alarm clock in the morning. Yawns that they'd describe as bellows filled the air around them. They even drowned out their own yawning.

For two weeks, this had been the new normal for the Mitchells and Jan. Ever since they became stranded in the woods, the trio had the only option of residing there, away from society. They knew that compared to a nation ruled now by terrorists, a Dinosaur-infested Forest was the safest place to be. Among the Herbivores, of course. It was a secluded sort of place that they settled down in. A valley full of different Herds of Dinosaurs that differed in shapes, sizes and colors.

Of course, there were plenty of places that not even the most armored Dinosaurs wouldn't venture. The trees surrounding the valley served as the boundaries for the herds to remember. They knew that the shade under the surrounding forests were no place to take their young. Gray Mitchell had been taking notes on the behaviors of these animals, even the ones who lurked in the shade.

The Troodon pack, who had attacked the three before, estimated to about thirteen in strength. He had seen them take down a Dracorex with hardly a problem. Their tactic of attack mainly relied on the amount of numbers they had. The leader would have to have been the one with a darker red stripe down its head. Whenever they hunted, the leader would take three of its subordinates to assist in taking down the prey, while letting the rest have second pickings after they were finished.

To some (Zach), this would be enough to ruin an appetite. But to Gray, this was something very interesting. The ravenous hunger of these predators was akin to that of either Hyenas or Wolves. They'd hardly leave any remains of their meal behind. A possible reason for this was that the other nine who ate after the leader and his subordinates had eaten their fill were so starved and more than happy to get such a share. This was a part of dinosaur culture that made him think of the way lions ate, where the females would eat after the male its his share. Whatever Gray once thought of Dinosaurs during the 2015 incident, he now thought of them in a different sense.

It may have been an unpopular opinion with the masses, but Gray did not see these animals as monsters. He saw the release of Dinosaurs into the world was something useful to their species. It was an opportunity for them to adapt and expand, a species of animal that was few and dwindling in numbers. And now, he couldn't appreciate it any better. There was so much to learn from watching them. You could fill a book with all the drawings that they had made.

Heck, Jan already did.

Having been a major sketch artist before Biosyn's scheme had begun, Jan Pfeiffer had spent much of her time drawing the different kinds of Dinosaurs that surrounded them. They had gathered much from the wreckage of the jeep, including food and water to drink, and had recovered Jan's sketchpad and pencils. She could be seen under a tree watching a young Iguanodon drinking from the lake. It snorted and grunted as the water dripped from its maw. Jan was taking this opportunity to draw the animal there in the moment.

As for Zach, he found comfort resting against the same tree trunk near her. He hadn't been able to use hos phone for a few days since one: there was no service out there. And two: his phone was dead. All he could was sit around and watch the dinosaurs go about their day. Among these three, there were different opinions on them. Of course, Gray had his new perspective in them, while Jan felt the same. Zach, however, viewed the dinosaurs with a sort of indifference. He had frown somewhat used to living among them in this field. Anything was better than in the forest with all those carnivores.

Gray sat by the large watering hole and watched as the Kentrosaurus he had been watching since he got there slowly waddling past to get a drink. He turned his head to see other Kentrosaurs surrounding her nest, feasting on leaves and grass. The noises some of these animals remind Gray of the sound of cows, the kind he would hear on his grandparent's farm when he was younger.

Oh, how simpler things were back then.

Still, they were surviving as best they could. Jan looked up from her drawing as she felt something fall around her. She looked to see some branches falling from the tree beside her. A loud munching sound could be heard as she stood up and walked around the trunk to see a large shape crunching and munching on the tree's nutrients. The large Therizinosaurus leaned against the trunk as its long neck reached into the green and tore through it with that large beak.

"Wow…" She said underneath her breath. She could not deny that she had always been fascinated by the appearance of this dinosaur. Those long claws that rested on the trunk as it feasted on the leafy greens, causing twigs to fall around her. They looked as if they were handy in battle. She had seen one of them go against the Giganotosaurus that fateful day. If it weren't for Gray getting his attention, it surely would've been killed as Fang held it to the ground.

Suddenly, a large limb fell from the tree as the Therizino knocked it off with its claws. It was big enough for her to pick up and hold above her head. She lifted it off the ground and held it up. "Hey, down here! Come on big guy!"

The small head of the dinosaur looked down and blinked at her with those big eyes. It warbled somewhat like a chicken and approached her slowly. This reminded her of feeding Giraffes at the zoo, how they approached her and humbled her with their height. The five-meter-tall body leaned down so that the face was level with hers. It blinked curiously as it stepped closer to the greens that she was holding for him.

"Good boy, good boy." Yes, a boy. In the time Jan had spent here in the Herbivore fields, she eventually found ways to decipher the distinctions between male and female Therizinosaurus. The males seemed to have thicker feathers than the females. Whenever they tried to attract a mate, the males would expand their plumage, making themselves look bigger.

"Hey, no worries big guy." She said as the dinosaur ate from her branch. "There's plenty of ladies who haven't even gotten hitched yet. You still got a shot. If you, you know, treat her right, and respect her decisions, then you have nothing to worry about-"

The loud trumpeting sound caused them both to react in surprise. Jan looked to see a Corythosaurus sentry sounding its trumpet call, getting the attention of all animals in the field. The Therizinosaurus lifted its head and made its way into the open with the other armored dinosaurs. The Corythosaurus continued to sound its call, assembling the protective forces to protect their young and the more exposed species. The animals snorted and bellowed in confusion and fear as instinct kicked in.

Jan ran after the Therizinosaurus as it joined more of its kind in the confusion. She could see Gray and Zach rushing down the hill to meet her. "Jan, what's happening?"

"One of the sentries sounded an alarm!" Jan answered her boyfriend.

"Was that what that was?" Zach huffed as he put his hands on his knees from the running. "What do you think's happening?"

"I don't know." Gray looked around at the forest line. "It could be a predator about to attack. It's weird, though. The Troodons couldn't cause this much of a panic. Neither would a Carnotaur or a Majungasaur. It must be something big."

They looked to see the armed species continuing to roar and growl as they reared up, like horses at a ranch. The young and less defensive animals stayed behind as the protective line turned their attention towards the tree lines. There was definitely something getting their attention in there. The three children stayed behind them cautiously as they stared at the forest as they did. Zach covered his ears as the roaring and bellowing got louder and louder, implicating that the animals sensed that whatever was rousing them up so badly was getting closer. As the armed forces surrounded the weaker and the young, the answer was about to come.

The trees shook and wavered, as if something was pushing past them. The three of them could see some Pteranodons taking to the skies, screeching and flapping away at the approaching animal. Gray could see a shadow approaching from the tall tree line. It was something big, that was for sure. But he could not tell what it was. As the animal came further into the light, he could see a large pair of jaws opening and closing repeatedly.

Those jaws.

Oh no.

Please not that.

He hadn't seen any of those in the forest since he, Jan, and Zach had been there. Heck, he had hardly heard anything about them since the dinosaurs were released. A Tyrannosaur was nearly as hard to find as a Velociraptor these days, and it was shocking to see an adolescent emerge from the forest. Those banana-sized teeth were gleaming white in the sunlight. In the time Gray spent observing the dinosaurs, he had seen very few video shots on the news of the old T-Rex known as 'Rexy', roaming the world. He had found that the skin of the female was brown while the male was green. This animal was clearly a female, and younger than Rexy.

The animal approached the defensive herd with a snarl. Its yellow eyes blinked as it entered the sunlight, shaking its head like a dog. The Herbivores bellowed loudly at it, possibly as a warning to turn away. The Tyrannosaur let out a growl as it approached the line of defense. A Sinoceratops lunged upward to try and ram it with its frill, but the rex dodged and growled again.

And even though the commotion was growing louder and louder with distress, Gray never took his eyes off the intruder. It seemed unfocused on the Herbivores for some reason. Those large eyes hardly took notice of the pushing and shoving it received from the defenders. They were looking at something. And that's where the fear hit him. It was trying to get to them. Zach, Jan, and him.

It tries to push between a Kentrosaurus and a Euplocephalus but was knocked back by one hit by the clubbed tail of the former. It growled as it climbed back to its feet, and roared in a somewhat irritable tone. The mighty animal growled as it paced along the sidelines of the defense line. Every time it tried to push through, it would get shoved back or struck by one of the herbivores before it. The predator circled around, trying to find a weak spot.

The most powerful predator on earth. That is what Gray could describe this animal as. He had spent a lot of time studying the biology of these animals from Dr. Grant's Paleontology website. He could only fear what would happen if that thing broke through the defenses. He could almost feel his hair turn white at the thought. That was when Zach spoke up.

"Hey, don't worry, you guys." The older Mitchell boy said. "There's no way it can get past all of them. We're safe."

THUMP

THUMP

THUMP

The watering hole's cool sustenance rippled with each earth-shaking sound. The three of them looked around to see if they could spot where it was coming from. For all they knew or hoped, it was just the T-Rex that was trying to get through the herbivore wall. But wait a minute, if the T-Rex was over there, then why was the sound coming from behind them?

The crashing and creaking of trees from the other side of the field caught their attention as something came through the underbrush. To the young trio, there was no mistaking what it could have been. Without hesitation, Gray bolted towards a large log and ducked under. As soon as the large shape began to emerge from the trees, Jan and Zach followed suit. They climbed into the log and watched as the second Tyrannosaur stepped into the light. They could immediately see that this one was a male, and about the same age as the first. The way they could tell it was male was by the different color skin. Where the first one had brown skin, this one was a dark green.

But right behind it came the shape of another adolescent Tyrannosaur. Another female. Gray watched as the two Tyrannosaurs nipped and growled at each other. The male growled at the female before she lunged forward and snapped at him. The two animals seemed to be challenging one another, but not one of them seemed to be trying to injure the other. That's when it hit the young man.

They were playing.

That was what was happening. They must've been siblings, the both of them. And that other female trying to get through the herds was possibly their sister. But why weren't they helping her? Why did they leave her to do all the work? Did they even know he, Zach and Jan were there? His eyes watched as the second female's attention suddenly turned to a large bush at the tree line. It was like something moved in there. Gray watched as some sort of shape began to shift behind the leaves. He squinted his eyes as he leaned closer to get a better look, ignoring the roaring and growls coming from the two siblings.

As he carefully watched the bush, he noticed something else. He saw something black. Black hair! Was it another dinosaur? Gray had never seen an infant Tyrannosaur before, so perhaps that was what was back there. The shape moved around a little more, as if it were watching, waiting for a moment to come out. Almost as if on cue, whatever it was began to come out. But when it came out, all of Gray's assumptions were immediately shattered.

A human.

It was a woman. She looked to be in her late twenties. Her clothes were torn up much like theirs were. Her black hair was all messed up as well, riddled with dirt and leaves. And the most positive thing that Gray noticed about her was that she didn't have a single trace of Biosyn on her clothes. Perhaps she was in the same situation as they were.

And that was when it truly hit the young man. He had seen her once on the news. In the year 2018, the biggest story on the network was the infamous Lockwood incident. The story of how forensic experts had traced the fingerprints on the pillow that smothered Dr. Benjamin Lockwood to death by his assistant, Eli Mills. Fortunately, Mills had jet his demise before the police could apprehend them. One of the people Gray could remember being interviewed in the matter was a Paleo-veterinarian of the DPG and witness to the incident, Zia Rodriguez.

A.K.A., the woman he was watching right now.

"Who is she?" Jan asked as she stared at the woman. She, like the other two, nearly completely ignored the two Tyrannosaurs before them.

"Zia Rodriguez," Gray answered her. "She's probably lost like us. We have to go to her." He then got up and began to walk in her direction before feeling his brother's hand on his shoulder.

"Wait, man," Zach said. "Haven't you forgotten something?" He raised his hand to motion to the two large Dinosaurs, who were still playing around with each other.

"We'll go through the talk grass," Gray whispered. "Stay low and quiet. And if they see you… don't move."

With Gray up in front, the trio began to crawl through the tall grass, waving in the breeze. They could feel the rumbling of the ground below them from both the roaring herd and the playing siblings. They could hear the roars and growls from the two Tyrannosaurs, stomping and chomping at each other. Gray noticed that Jan was lagging behind a little bit. He remembered what she had gone through since this whole mess had started. Being bitten on the arm and thrown down a hill by Fang the Giga, it was no question as to what kind of impact was left on the poor girl. He crawled next to her and helped her along. "We'll be ok, Jan. It's gonna be ok. I'm not gonna leave your side, ok?"

She nodded slowly. The three continued to crawl until the rumbling underneath themselves grew louder and louder. The two Tyrannosaurs were getting closer to them with their quarreling. Jan began to breathe heavier than before. Gray noticed that she was beginning to hyperventilate. He put his arm around her and tried to guide her along through the grass. But the rumbling shook the ground more and more the further they got. Zach looked forward to seeing Gray trying to keep Jan calm as the Tyrannosaurs got louder and louder. This brought back memories of their time on Isla Nublar when the Indominus Rex sent the once happy brotherly vacation into a nightmare. And that nightmare was just before them as he looked up.

Through the tops of the waving grass, the Mitchells and their friend could see the jaws of the second female Tyrannosaur. They watched as that large mouth opened, letting out a defensive roar against her brother. It was right above them. It made their skin sprout goosebumps of terror. The footsteps were in their ears as they struggled to crawl forward. But before they could get further away from the Tyrannosaur, a large, green, scaly foot stomped in front of them. The foot of the brother Tyrannosaur. It bellowed at its sister as it stomped forward, ignoring the scream of fright emitted from Jan. The girl curled herself up as she shook like a leaf, breathing heavily and covering her ears. Gray reached for her and tried to pull her away as the two animals began to get closer and closer.

And he would have reached her if the other arm didn't get there first.

The face of Zia appeared standing above them as she helped Jan to her feet. She looked down at the two boys and motioned for them to follow her as she pulled Jan along. Zach didn't intend to ignore this nonverbal cue and quickly rose to his feet, pulling Gray along. It was a fortunate thing that they did, as the foot of the brother Tyrannosaur nearly crushed the pair of Mitchells. They followed the Veterinarian towards the tree line as the two thundered on. They watched as Zia sat Jan down onto a tree root and splashed a bottle of water onto her face, causing her to slowly stop shaking and whimpering. She looked up at Zia, panting heavily from her trauma.

"Better?" Zia asked, holding her by the shoulders firmly.

"Y-yeah. Yeah…" Jan said slowly.

Zia turned her head towards Gray, who was anxiously standing next to them. "Is she alright?"

"Yeah, she's fine," Zach said. "She's just been pretty unsettled. Been through some stuff out here."

"She's been bitten and thrown down a hill in a Jeep," Gray said quietly, so as not to cause any more trauma for his girlfriend. "she hasn't really freaked out like this until now. Thanks, Zia."

She raised her eyebrow at this mention. "You know who I am?"

"I saw you on the news," Gray answered. "I'm Gray Mitchell, this is my brother Zach, and that's my girlfriend Jan."

Zia tilted her head. "Wait a minute. You both look familiar." The roaring of the Tyrannosaurs seemed to have died down at this point. As did the rumbling of the ground. She began to think for a few seconds before coming to a conclusion. "Mitchell? I've heard that name before. Weren't you involved in the Jurassic World incident of 2015?"

"Yeah, that's us." Zach answered.

Her eyes widened in surprise as Jan sat in silence. "I knew it! You're Claire's nephews!" She exclaimed as she stood up, letting Jan have some space. "I watched the news coverage that day. You both must've gone through a lot then. Can't imagine."

Gray appreciated how low Zia's voice was for Jan's sake. "Yeah, but we're all fine now. Well, I mean, we were. Until our house was attacked a few weeks ago. Owen and Barry found us and-"

"Owen?!" Zia exclaimed again. "Is he here? Is he alright?"

"We don't know," Zach answered. "We got separated from him at the InGen loading docks. We ran into some trouble."

"What kind of trouble?"

"Spinosaurus and Carnotaurus trouble." Jan said quietly while still shaking. She wiped the water off of her face as she sat up. "And we got separated from Barry when the city got attacked. Our jeep went down a hill, and we woke up who knows how much time after that."

"But what about you, Zia?" Gray asked her. "How did you get here?"

"I was knocked into the river by one of Biosyn's mercs," Zia explained. Me, your aunt, and some other people went to Sorna and came back here with clues on what's going on. Your aunt, Zane Maxin, Ian Malcolm, Alan Grant-"

"Wait, wait, hold up." Gray interrupted. "Alan Grant? THE Alan Grant? Like, 'first park' Alan Grant?"

"You know your history, kid." Zia nodded, slightly impressed. She heard a loud grunt from the field. She turned to see the other female Tyrannosaur coming into view, snapping at her siblings. Looks like Roberta's kept the herds at bay long enough."

"Roberta?" Zach questioned.

"The older sister." Zia shrugged. "She keeps them in line. You see the younger girl there? That's Trixie, she's the hothead. Her brother, Ray. He's the bruiser. You're lucky they didn't get into an all-out brawl. Those two are some real troublemakers."

"Hold up a minute," Zach raised his hands. "You're saying that you, like, named these three?"

"Yeah, I did. Their mom isn't too far away, either. Mothers don't leave their kids alone for too long, not until they're old enough to be on their own."

"Those three are young?"

"Just a few more years, and they'll be full adults." Zia watched as the three Tyrannosaurs socialized with one another. The herbivores were watching them as well, forming a circle around the defenseless and the young. No longer bellowing and honking, the herds were making sure that the young predators weren't going to try anything. "But I don't think you have anything to worry about from them. They've looked after me for, what, two weeks? Their mom's gotten me meat, and I followed her kids here. Hey, maybe they were trying to get me to find you."

The three young adults sat there in silence. A Tyrannosaur wanting to help them? Why would that be? Was all of this planned out? Gray hadn't imagined Tyrannosaurs being that intelligent. Only Raptors or their relatives would use a 'divide and conquer' strategy. His heart was still pumping from nearly being crushed by 'Ray'. Were there other forces at work here? Did he really underestimate the brain capacity of a Tyrannosaur?

One thing was for certain: with Zia with them, they had a fighting chance of getting to the bottom of Biosyn's riddle.

"So, what did you find at Sorna?"

He walked through the woods he had been searching through for weeks. His vision was about as crazed as his mind had become. He could sense the heat signature on every living thing around him. He watched as the one-horned Carnotaur and his mate quickly sped away. He snarled as he took a bounding step forward.

Why was it that this had to happen? Why was his mind overtaken by such a feeling? He may not have admitted it to his team, but he was scared. He was terrified of what held control of him. The humans who had done this to him. What was his time before Biosyn found him and made him their own weapon? He no longer knew. He couldn't remember what being a real dinosaur was like.

Suddenly, he caught something. It was a scent that caught his full attention. It was a scent that he feared smelling. He knew what happened when the scent found his nose. What he would become. He struggled not to smell any further, but his mind buzzed with the numbing feeling. As if he was clobbered by an Ankylosaurus tail. He snarled as he tried to escape the feeling, but his instincts were captured by the control of his mind-disease. It had compelled him to look down and smell the ground.

There. Right there. The scent of humans. The scent's trail was now visible as his vision became darker and red. He watched as the trail led ahead. Fang the Giganotosaurus hadn't sensed humans since that day when they attacked the many humans on that road. When he had fought against that Therizinosaurus, when he threw that car, and when he received those scars. This must've been where they were now. He no longer had any choice. He no longer could control his actions. He was an animal.

And he was going to satiate his bloodlust.

Well, hello my fellow Jurassic Park/World fans! First off, I wanna say I'm sorry for being inactive for a few months. I've been busy, and have been working on this chapter for a while. There have been times when I couldn't find an idea in myself, and times when I stopped abruptly. But now I'm back, and here's my newest chapter. First off, I wanna say that even though the movie is less than two months away, that doesn't mean that this story will end. And who knows? Maybe I'll predict 50% of the whole movie with this story itself.

Well, it looks like Gray and the others have a new ally in Zia. And names for Rexy's three children: Roberta, Trixie, and Ray. Roberta, the eldest sister, is based on the nickname people have for Rexy. Trixie is just a name given from the T in T-Rex. And Ray is given from Ray Harryhausen, who you may remember as the man behind such stop motion movies as Planet of Dinosaurs and The Valley of Gwangi. Just a little Easter Egg there.

And it looks like Jan's old friend Fang is on the hunt for them. We also get a little insight into the effects Hurisym has on a dinosaur's mind. They can't control themselves when they smell humans. And without their alpha around (I.E., Zeus), nothing can hold them back. This brutish Giganotosaurus is about to stalk the four humans all the way to Herbivore valley. All I can say right now is that they're going to be seeing a lot of him.

What's next for our prehistoric heroes? Will they find a way to stop Henry Wu and Biosyn's diabolical plans? Stay tuned, and Spare no Expense.
