There is something missing from our world. The Amazing Creatures that time has left behind. But what if we could bring them back? What if extinction didn't have to be forever? We're going on a safari with a difference as wildlife adventurer Nigel Marvin plunges into Prehistory to rescue creatures on the brink of extinction. He plans to bring them back to the safety of the present and give them a second chance. This time, Nigel and his team go back 243 million years to Prehistoric Arizona, to rescue the first sail-backed archosaur. Welcome to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary. Welcome to Prehistoric Park.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Prehistoric Park has become a titanic success. Ornithomimosaurs, giant bugs and wooly rhinos are only a few of the park's inhabitants. Now, though, Nigel has a new target to rescue: a relative of dinosaurs with a sail on its back.

In his den, Nigel looks over the sail backed reptile. While it resembles a certain famous sail-backed quadruped, its legs are directly beneath its body and it has a much longer neck.

"This is Arizonasaurus, one of the giant land archosaurs. This creature wasn't a dinosaur, but it set the precedent for their dominance. This creature is from Tristan's home state, so I think he and his siblings will love this mission."

First, though, Nigel has some business to deal with at the park. Including choosing the away team.

Tristan and his siblings are out on a boat in the middle of one of the park's rivers, fishing. Nearby, the Motanaspinus pair are searching for fish, while several Hyphalosaurus swim next to the boat, all looking for an easy meal. A little ways upriver, the Alamosaurus pair, along with Theo and a Denversaurus, quench their thirst, while downriver, Terence seeks shelter from the heat beneath some trees.

"You know, for all of the amazing animals that live in the park, and all of the action that we see rescuing them, it's times like this that I enjoy the most," remarks Tristan.

"You mean resting out in a beautiful wilderness, with a chance to watch all of the animals around us?" asks Violet.

"Yeah, that."

"Good to know...do you guys have any idea when Drew and Elise are going to finish their summer camp?"

"Um, they finished three days ago," replied Tai. "Elise called me the day after they got home and said she and Drew would take a day or two to rest, then they'd come over. Based off how she sounded, I think she was mad that we left them behind."

"Well, I wouldn't blame her there," remarks Adrian. "Considering what we left them out of, she has every right to be made."

"True...wait, I just remembered, I got a text from her this morning," remarked Violet.

"You did?!" replied the rest of the siblings.

"Yeah. It says 'leaving now, be over at island in 4 hours'... oh crap."

"What?"

"She sent that message three hours and forty minutes ago."

Alamo was enjoying the cool water of the river. In the humid heat of the morning, it was a nice refresher.

Just then, several high-pitched noises filled the air, hurting his ears. Deigning to turn toward the source of the sound, he found himself watching a peculiar sight: five of the two legged creatures with fur on their heads that he had seen all over this new land were hastily moving a strange hollow long toward land using strange branches. After they reached the land, they exited the log, pulled it ashore, then began running toward the strange flat field he'd first seen most of these two legs at.

Alamo stared for a moment, before beginning to follow. If they were headed back toward that field, it might mean that some new two legged creatures were coming. He was soon joined by Theo, while further down river, Terence had already begun crossing the watery highway.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Nigel was in his den, examining the pictures of his next target.

Suddenly, he heard a strange vibrating sound. Looking for the source, he finds a mobile phone, his own. After opening it up, he notices a message on the screen:

DREW AND ELISE ARE COMING OVER IN 15 MINUTES. DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL NOW, SORRY. PLEASE BE AT AIRFIELD IN 15 MINUTES

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the airfield, the Saurus siblings were catching their breath, looking for any signs of their soon-to-be-arriving relatives. Terence, Theo and Alamo, meanwhile, had taken up hiding places around the field, careful to avoid any incidents with the humans.

Violet had already taken out a set of binoculars and begun searching the skies for her errant siblings, while everyone else used the tried and true mark-1 eyeball.

"See anything yet?" asked Adrian, who was forced to squint due to the light of the sun. He would've used sunglasses, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to see the plane if he had them on.

"No, not yet...Wait!" replied Violet. "I see something... it's the plane. It's at 10 o'clock from due North."

Turning toward that direction, the siblings did indeed find themselves staring at a plane. It was already making its descent, careful to line up with the (rather generous) runway that it needed to land on. As the plane grew closer, both the group and the hidden dinosaurs made efforts to cover their ears, trying vainly to drown out the sound of the engines.

Fortunately, the engines soon shut off, sparing the group further torment.

Once the plane had stopped and opened its doors, the siblings finally had a chance to meet with their missing number.

The first out was Drew. His chosen attire was a safari shirt and camouflaged pants, with his shirt offering stark contrast to his jet black hair and similarly dark eyes.

By contrast, Elise was wearing a green shirt and more muted grey pants. Her eyes matched the deep blue of the sea, but seemed to exude an icy coldness, while her hair was red as fire. Contrasting these intimidating features were the glasses and freckles that covered her face, both of which detracted from her intimidating aura, if only slightly.

"Elise, Drew! Nice to see you guys!" exclaimed Aiden, who rushed forward to greet them. The two siblings were surprised when their younger brother trapped them in a bear hug, forcing them to take a step back.

The rest of the siblings couldn't help but smirk at the scene, after overcoming the shock at his actions. Aiden was one who had missed them Elise and Drew the most, so it was only natural he was the one to great them first.

After recovering from the impact of their younger brother's charge, Elise and Drew quickly returned the hug Aiden had given. They'd missed their siblings, and were glad to see them again.

After a moment, Aiden backed off and allowed Drew and Elise to catch their breath.

"So, how was camp?" asked Aiden.

"It was good. Though, I'd like to save talking about camp for later," answered Elise.

"Okay. What would you like to talk about?"

"Well, how about where we are?" asked Drew.

"...okay. What do you want to know?"

"Well, first off, what is this place?"

"..Could you be more specific?"

"Well, what do you do here?! Tai told us that it's called Prehistoric Park, and that it has a bunch of exhibits with prehistoric animals, so I'm guessing this is a Prehistory-themed amusement park. Am I right?"

The five more experienced siblings shared a look, before deciding on an answer.

"Well, not exactly..." replied Violet.

Now Elise and Drew were confused. What WAS this park about?

Just then, the noticed Tristan looking at something behind them. He seemed to be having an unspoken conversation with it, ending with him nodding his head the way that one would do when they would have said yes.

Elise and Drew turned around, but found nothing other than the nearby tree line.

Now the duo was suspicious. They knew that Tristan had let some of his friends come over, but the way he was acting indicated he was hiding something or someone.

"Okay, who were you gesturing to?" asked Elise.

"...someone important," replied Tristan.

"Who?" asked Drew.

"Can't tell you yet."

Elise and Drew shared a glance. This was getting annoying.

Unnoticed to them, the rest of their siblings was now staring at something behind them.

"Okay," responded Elise, "What's up with you guys? You all seems to be hiding something."

"Maybe we are, maybe we aren't," replied Aileen.

Both Elise and Drew scowled at this. In their minds, they had a very simple conversation.

"Alright, this is RIDICULOUS. No more being the nice guys.

"Alright, what are you guys hiding?!" asked Elise.

"We can't tell you," replied Tai.

"But we can tell you something about Tristan's friend," said Violet.

"And that would be?" questioned Drew.

"He's right behind you," said Aileen.

"And he wants to meet you," added Aiden.

"Very funny-," began Elise, only to find herself interrupted by a strange sound. It was as if someone had crossed a his with a growl and mixed in a roar. IT bared some similarities to a alligator and a bird, as well.

Slowly, Elise and Drew turned around.

Then they went pale.

Staring right at them, literally only a meter away, was Terence. The male rex watched them inquisitively, eager to examine the new arrivals.

Elise and Drew made this much easier for him by refusing to move from where they stood. Their breaths had turned to mere gasps.

Then, to their surprise, Tristan walks up between them, straight toward Terence. Then, he lifted up his right arm and started petting the tyrannosaur.

Turning back to Drew and Elise, Tristan couldn't help but smirk at the looks of unadulterated shock on their faces.

"This is Terence. He's my friend."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ten minutes later...

The siblings had gathered by the plane. Nearby, Terence, Alamo, and Teho were shading themselves from the tropical son, earning nervous glances from Elise and Drew.

"Okay, let me get this straight," began Elise, "This park was built by dad."

"Yes," replied Tristan.

"In cooperation with Nigel Marvin, the BBC and Impossible Pictures, plus a bunch of big businesses and wildlife charities.

"Yes."

"So that it could be used as a wildlife preserve for EXTINCT ANIMALS!"

"Correct."

"Which would be rescued with a time portal."

"Yes."

"That he invented while working with three other guys."

"Well, technically, they just gave him the idea based on some theories they had. And their names are Connor Temple, Evan Cross, and Elias Seeker. But, otherwise, correct."

"And you guys have been working with him in rescuing and caring for these creatures for at least five weeks.

"Correct."

"And you want us to help you?"

"Pretty much."

Elise and Drew shared a glance.

"...Fine," said Drew.

"Look, I can assure you guys we won't be in too much danger-did you just say fine?" asked Tristan.

"Yes. You guys have been doing this for weeks and seem to be fine, so I think we'll be okay."

"...Well, that makes things easier for us," responded Violet.

Just then, Nigel showed up, along with Marcus, Alice, Lucas, Vera and Michelle.

"Sorry for being late, titanosaurs blocked the road. So, I assume that your companions are Elise and Drew?"

"We are," replied Elise," and it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Marven."

"The pleasure is all mine."

"Nice to have you finally join us," remarked Alice.

"No need to be rude," remarked Drew.

"I wasn't, that really was a compliment."

"Well, then, would you two like to join us for our next mission?"

"Sure," replied Elise, "When is it."

"Well, I was actually getting ready to go right now, but if you need a little time-"

"WE CAN GO NOW!"

"Ok then."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

To rescue an Arizonasaurus, Nigel must go back 243 million years, roughly the same time as the last mission, only this time, he must travel to Arizona. He's fortunate that the land predators aren't that big yet!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

On the other side of the portal lies a great fern plain on the outskirts of a forest. Nearby, a river can be seen, while to the east, a desert is visible.

While the rest of the team begins to search for an Arizonasaurus, Elise and Drew can only stare on in awe at the environment around them.

"We're really in the past, aren't we," asks a stunned Elise.

"Yes we are," responded Drew.

Suddenly, the sound of rustling leaves fills the air. Instantly, everyone goes rigid and turns toward a large clump of ferns. Behind them, something is slowly making its way through the underbrush. And it is fairly large.

Could the team already have stumbled upon their quarry?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

AN: I'M BACK, PEOPLE!

Sorry about the hiatus. I was working on some other projects.

So, yeah, Elise and Drew finally showed up. Since I didn't really give a lot of foreshadowing, I decided to write their arrival in a way that would make it sudden even for the characters in the story.

Any ways, expect updates more often. They might be longer, too.

Oh, and if anyone can figure out who Elise is a shout out too, great job!

So, read and review.
