At the office of a building, Franklin waited as a printer finishes up and he grabs the papers and heads to his desk as indistinct chatter fills the room.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

Dangerous Species Division

Franklin hands the papers to a co-worker and got to his desk and sat down and sighed. And watches a video of a woman on a beach on Georgia being attacked by a trio of Dimorphodons as she screamed and gasped as she ran.

"No! Please, please! No, no!" She screamed.

The Dimorphodons squawked as they dive-bomb her, and Franklin sighed all worn out.

"This year, man." Franklin groaned. "What's next?"

"Historically?" A co-worker next to him said. "Uh, darkness, blood, rain of fire. I think frogs. We're not gonna be around for much longer anyway. These locusts in Nebraska are about to wrap it up."

The computer screen showed a large red cloud indicting the locust swarm.

"They're eating the corn, wheat." He continued. "Basically all of our food and our food's food. So, we can say goodbye to this." He held a jelly donut.

Then a goofy babbling ringtone plays as Franklin reaches in his pocket and brought his phone out and answered it.

"Hello?" He answered it.

"Franklin, it's me." Claire said. "You at work?"

"Okay, you're kind of a subject of interest around here, so I can't really be talking to you." Franklin said lowly heading to a corner.

"Come on, I'm in trouble." Claire said. "I really need your help. Please."

"Yeah, I could lose my job, and you know I'm not qualified to do anything else." Franklin said.

"We're outside." Claire said.

Franklin got to a window and glanced back and peaks through the blinds seeing Owen, Claire, and the Wild Kratts at the plaza.

"Let me talk to him." Owen said.


10 minutes later, they were at a table of a café as Franklin went through a tablet after they described the lead poacher. He soon brought his wanted image and turns it to them.

"That him?" Franklin asked.

"That's him." Owen said recognizing that mug look and had a wrapped bandanna around his left hand over the wound Blue gave.

"Who is he?" Martin asked.

"Name's Rainn Delacourt." Franklin explained. "Real piece of work. What'd he take?"

"Something we care about very much." Claire said.

"Oh, shit." Franklin muttered realizing who she meant. "I told you somebody would come looking for her. You can't just take a person, Claire."

"We had no choice." Claire said firmly.

"Not in the eyes of the law." Franklin countered.

"They were trying to protect her, Franklin." Aviva said. "In case you weren't aware, not everyone see's Maisie as a little girl. Many just see her as a science experiment."

"That guy is probably expecting a big reward prize from whoever him to capture her." Chris said. "And only that, they also took Blue's kid. Long story." He said saw the shock look Franklin had.

"And right now, Amber's fighting for her life after being injured from trying to get her back." Martin said concerned for her. "They had 2 Zachbots with them, and they could taking her to Zach right now. As well as the Tortuga, there's no telling what Zach would do to her."

"This guy is not the law." Owen said. "Tell us how to find him."

Franklin remained momentarily silent. "Where'd you guys call me from?" He turned to Claire.

Claire hands him the burner phone she used.

"We have a man on the inside of Delacourt's operation." Franklin said.

"Where?" Koki asked.

"There's an exchange in Malta sometime tomorrow." Franklin explained. "Cash for cargo."

"Was she with them?" Owen asked.

Franklin shook his head. "There's no mention, but we have people on the ground already. One of them you know." And worked his tablet showing Lowery and Vivian's page. "A lot of us got recruited by the CIA after the park went down." He brought up Barry's page and turns to him. "Barry's French Intelligence now."

"Really? We haven't heard from him since Jurassic World." Chris said.

Claire and Owen turn to each other.

"I need to talk to him." Owen said.

"You can't just call him." Franklin said. "He's deep cover. Look, once we make the bust in Malta, our guys will see if Delacourt knows where she is. Our guys. Not you. Promise me you won't go in there with your vest and mess everything up."

"Why would I do that?" Owen said.

"Look, you guys are all crazy, but you both seem like you're good parents, or whatever you're trying to be." Franklin said. "She's lucky to have you. Don't get killed, okay?"


Elsewhere in the world, the WhisperJet flew over the clouds as a mountain range was in view.

Inside, Alan and Ellie asleep as she woke up as her head was resting on Alan's shoulder. And Alan soon stirred as she got up as Alan woke up as the plane lightly rattled and he cleared his throat.

"Think we're almost there." Ellie said.

"Yeah." Alan said.

Soon, the Avro RJ descends down to a runway of an airfield in the Dolomites mountain range and touches down.

BIOSYN SANCTUARY
Dolomite Mountains, Italy

The side door of a Eurocopter EC145 with short span wings with propellers with Biosyn's logo opened as an African American man named Ramsay Cole stepped out. And he went over to greet Alan and Ellie as indistinct chatter fills the airfield.

"Dr. Sattler. Dr. Grant." Ramsey greeted. "Ramsay Cole, communications."

"Oh, hey." Ellie greeted and shook his hand.

"Uh, I have to warn you, everyone's so excited to have you." Ramsay advised and shook Alan's hand. "You guys are absolute legends around here."

"Mmm. You must be confusing us with somebody else." Ellie quipped.

"You know, it's great that you guys are still so close with Dr. Malcolm." Ramsay said. "I mean, sometimes you meet your heroes and they disappoint you, but he's exactly the way you'd want him to be. I mean, such motility of thought. It's incredible."

"Yeah." Ellie said.

"How much time have you spent with him?" Alan asked.

Ramsay lightly laughed. "Uh, well, I know that was sarcastic, but honestly, not enough." They near the helicopter. "Oh, please. After you."

"Oh." Ellie climbed into the chopper.

"And watch your head." Ramsay said.


Soon, the Eurocopter EC145 flies over the snowcapped peaks of the Dolomites.

"So, Biosyn bought this land for the amber deposits back in the 90's." Ramsey explained. "But we've managed to turn it into a safe haven for about 20 displaced species. First generation came from Sorna. Most of the Nublar dinosaurs are here, too. Took Fish and Wildlife 3 years to catch the T. Rex."

"The..." Ellie frowned knowing which T. Rex in particular.

"The T. Rex is here?" Alan asked tensely stunned of hearing news from an old friend of some sort.

"Oh, yeah." Ramsay said. "Yeah. Arrived just before you guys." He lightly laughed.

Soon, Eurocopter EC145 begins to descend and flies over what looks like a frozen river as a cloud of snow was stirred from the helicopter flying by. And soon flies over a large dam and towards a large valley surrounded by mountain sides. And the valley was lush with many trees and lakes and a few towers.

A safe haven for dinosaurs of every kind for many miles away.

"Aerial Deterrent System, active." An automated voice spoke.

Alan turns to Ramsey.

"Restricted airspace." Ramsay explained. "Protects the airborne life. Keeps the pterosaurs below 500 feet."

"Airborne?" Ellie frowned looking out her window.

Alan looks out his window and saw one of the valley's residents as some dwarf everyone else.

"Is that Dreadnoughtus?" Alan asked amazed.

Ellie gasped astonished looking through the window. "What?"

The Eurocopter EC145 flies over one of the lakes as a large Sauropod called Dreadnoughtus stood in the feeding on plants. And it lets out a low bellowing as Alan and Ellie were amazed as it dwarves the Brachiosaurus they first met on Nublar.

And it was colossal. Weighing over 70 tons, they are among biggest animals to have ever walk the Earth.

Dreadnoughtus was truly a giant. First discovered in 2014 in Patagonia, 70% of it's skeleton was recovered with the tail, a near complete left hind and front leg, most of the back and ribs, and 2 neck bones and a piece of the front jaw. Dreadnoughtus was proven to be one of the biggest dinosaurs ever found, 85 feet long, 20 feet at the shoulder and weighing 65 tons. It was 7 times heavier than T. Rex and more than a Boeing 737. Yet the bones of the skeleton showed the specimen was actually still growing, as it was likely a teenager, a sub-adult when it died.

Dreadnougthus belongs to the family of giant Sauropods called Titanosaurs. But as big as it was, Dreadnoughtus wasn't the true biggest. That title belongs to a distant cousin some 25 million years before called Argentinosaurus. A giant so big, that few other Titanosaurs even came close to rival it's record.

And it's name, literally means, "Fears Nothing". And very well earned it was.

"Beautiful, right?" Ramsey said smiling. "The name means "fear nothing". Well, I guess you know that." He lightly laughed.

"What do they graze on?" Ellie asked.

"Hawthorn and fern." Ellie informed knowing they'll eat any plant material thanks to their long necks and huge feeding range. "All indigenous. Nothing stocked except for the deer population. It's a great mezzanine species for the apex predator."

"Oh..." Ellie stared as Alan turns to him.

"Apex predator?" Alan raised a brow.

"Giganotosaurus." Ramsey informed. "At least for now."

And Alan knew that last part well, as he has seen many fossil skulls of carnivorous dinosaurs with bite marks made by rivals of their own kind.

The Eurocopter EC145 flew over the forest as below them, as birds chirped away through the forest, a gigantic predatory dinosaur was sleeping. It grunts softly and growls and huffs an exhale as it snored, and it was the voracious hunter of the South American plains, Giganotosaurus. The biggest predator to ever stalk the Southern Hemisphere in Argentina, it's reminds were first found in the 90's just 50 miles from the first Argentinosaurus bones. Bigger than T. Rex, and armed with 3 clawed fingers, a jaw of knife-like teeth to tear and slice through flesh, this monster was capable of going after big game. And the 3 species of the Giganotosauridae group surpass the famous T. Rex in terms of size. 45 feet long and weighing 8 tons.

The valley's Dreadnoughtus are usually safe from a lone Giganotosaur, but a whole pack of them is a different story.

The Giganotosaurus sleeps as a small dinosaur called Moros wanders by it's 6-foot jaws.

"Uh, you don't let people in there, right?" Ellie asked.

"Uh, no. Our-Our research..." Ramsey chuckled. "Our research outposts are connected completely underground. If we have to, we can just herd the animals remotely using a neuro-implant that sends electrical signals directly to the brain."

"Like shocks?" Alan frowned.

"Uh... n-no, li-like signals." Ramsey explained.

"Doesn't it strike you as a little bit, uh..." Alan said.

"Cruel?" Ellie said.

"Cruel." Alan finished.

"Do you know how much voltage was in the electric fences at Jurassic Park?" Ramsey inquired.

"Yeah." Alan said remembering how much the fences were; 10,000 volts to be exact making the signals more humane.

Soon, the Eurocopter EC145 begins to descend as it approaches the Biosyn Research Facility.


Shortly later, Ramsey was showing them around the courtyard as many people wandered around, and several tree sculptures and a fountain stood with a circular ring with water pouring.

"Please join Dr. Ian Malcolm at noon in the lecture hall for "The Ethics of Genetic Power"." A woman announced over a P.A.

"God, everyone's so young." Alan observed.

"Oh, well, it is part of our ethos to attract the best and brightest." Ramsey said.

Close by, Lewis Dodgson appeared waiting for them.

"Doctors." He said and went up to them. "Respected, renowned Dr. Sattler. Dr. Grant. Hi. I'm... Wow, this is big. I'm-I'm Lewis."

"Dodgson. Yeah." Ellie said and shook his hand.

"Hi." Lewis greeted.

"You're Lewis Dodgson?" Alan said and shook his hand.

"I am." Lewis said. "How do you do?"

"We didn't expect to actually see you here." Ellie said.

"Oh, well, I wouldn't be anywhere else." Lewis said and turns to Ramsey. "Would you?"

"No." Ramsey chuckled.

"I mean, the people you see here are changing the world." Lewis said. "Would you mind if we, um..." He gestured to a photographer.

"Uh..." Alan stared.

"Oh." Ellie said.

"Just to... Would mean a lot." Lewis said. "If..."

"Do you wanna, um..." Ellie asked as Alan groaned as they turn to them.

"Oh, great. Thank you so much." Lewis said.

"Oh, uh..." Ellie said.

The camera shutter clicks as the photographer snaps a few photos.

"Th-That's good. That's good." Lewis said. "Thanks."

"Okay." The photographer said.

They then walked off.

"So, you are going to see some remarkable things today." Lewis said as they walked. "We are unlocking the true power of the genome. We're this close." He held his index and thumb half an inch apart. "Believe me."

"You'll make a fortune with that." Ellie mentioned.

"No, it's not about money." Lewis said. "No, we've already identified dozens of applications for paleo-DNA. We're talking about cancer, Alzheimer's, autoimmune. We will be saving lives. But... shh." He chuckled.

"I bet." Ellie said.

"Um, anyway, I wish I could take you around myself, but, uh, it's..." Lewis said. "So, you're in more-than-capable hands with Ramsay. He's basically a... a young me. Only smarter and, uh, taller."

Ramsay lightly laughed.

"Do you have food?" Lewis asked.

Ramsay turns to him baffled.

"Like, one of my bars?" Lewis asked.

"Pardon? Um..." Ramsey frowned.

"No, never mind." Lewis said. "I-I'll find something. So, uh, I want to do of this later on, if we, um... Oh! We booked you a private pod..."

"Right." Ramsay said.

"For the trip out, so... It's beautiful." Lewis said. "You'll love it. Through the caverns and everything. Uh, you better hurry." He gestured his watch. "Malcolm's on. He's a bit of a contrarian, but I like him. He keeps us on our toes. Anyway.' he respectfully bowed. "Thank you for being here. It's..."

He then walks off as Ramsay turns to them.

"Okay." He said. "Um, follow me, please."

He walks off as Ellie turns to Alan.

"What?" Ellie frowned as they walked.


Inside, Dr. Ian Malcolm was giving a presentation to an entire room in a lecture theater.

"Human Beings have no more right to safety or Liberty than any other creature on this planet." Ian spoke. "We not only lack dominion over nature, we're subordinate to it. And now, here we are with the opportunity to rewrite life at our fingertips. And just like nuclear power, nobody knew what to expect with genetic engineering, but they pressed the button and hoped for the best, just like you are doing now. Yep. You. You can control the future of our survival on planet Earth. According to you, the solution is genetic power. But that same power could devastate the food supply, create new diseases, alter the climate even further. Unforeseen consequences occur. And every time, every single time... We all act surprised? Because deep down, I don't think that any of us actually believe that these dangers are real."

A door was heard opening as Ian looked and saw Ramsay, Alan and Ellie entered the room and turns back to the students.

"In order to instigate revolutionary change, we must transform human consciousness." Ian concluded his speech.

Soon the attendees applauded.

"Whoo!" An attendee cheered.

Ellie applauded as well as Ian turns to them.

"Yeah!" An attendee cheered.


Shortly later, they were outside as Ian was signing some books of attendees.

"Mayam?" Ian said turning to a girl.

"Mm-hmm." Mayam nodded.

"Dr. Malcolm?" A man said.

The fans chattered as they waited their turn.

"Very good. There-There you go." Ian said.

Close by, he saw Alan and Ellie appearing.

"Hey, I don't want to be rude to my friends." Ian said. "Thank you. Catch me on my way out. Thanks, everybody." He went up to them. "Look at you, and look at me, and look at you. Wha... this is so trippy."

"You look like you're doing well." Alan said.

"Well, I got 5 kids, you know, whom I adore more than life itself, so... uh, expenses add up." Ian said. "You? Alan, are you... You have any family or..."

Alan shook his head. "No."

"So, uh, I need to talk to you." Ellie said.

"Yeah, I need to talk to you, too." Ian said as they walked. "Privately."

"Do you 2 talk a lot?" Alan asked.

"Uh, he slid into my DMs." Ellie said.

"He did what?" Alan frowned.

"It's urgent, Ian." Ellie said.

"What did you do?" Alan asked turning to Ian.

"'7 minutes to midnight" stuff." Ellie said.

"Uh, the Doomsday Clock might be about out of time, but, as they say, it's always darkest just before eternal nothingness." Ian said.

Alan frowned from that. "What?" As he could still not understand him even after 29 years.


They soon wandered into the facility's interior as they head down a curved staircase.

"Locusts altered with Cretaceous-Era DNA." Ellie said.

"Yeah, that's mot my field." Ian said.

"Yeah, but if these things continue to multiply, we're talking about cascading system-wide effects, Ian." Ellie said.

"Gosh, that's a drag." Ian replied lightly

"'Drag"?" Ellie frowned.

"What is the matter with you?" Alan sharply asked.

"Why, is there something special you wanted me to do?" Ian asked turning to him.

"Yeah, how about give a damn?" Alan said.

"You know too much not to care." Ellie said.

"Hey, I-I gave my opinion robustly for years." Ian said. "As expected, the sum of our human endeavors has led to our annihilation, and the only play now is to take the time we have left and, uh... You know, just like we always do, squander it."

"Honestly, Ian, that's bullshit." Ellie said.

"Can I offer you guys some Joe?" Ian asked bringing out an access wristband. "Uh, Tyler, please, 2 cappuccinos." He went up to a barista behind a counter.

"I don't want a cappuccino." Alan said.

"Uh, well, I could do, like, a cortado or, like, macchiato." Tyler offered a different drink.

"Trust me, it's real tough, that jet lag." Ian said. "It's gonna perk you right up." He then pulls Ellie a few feet away.

Tyler then turns the milk streamer on as it whirs loudly, and Ian then glanced over to a security camera overhead as the whirring continues.

"The locusts are part of a larger project called Hexapod Allies." Ian hushly said. "You're right about their intent. I started hearing rumors 6 weeks ago. I read your piece on decadence and put 2 and 2 together."

"I was not raising my voice." Alan said in the middle of a small argument with Tyler.

"You're beginning to." Tyler said. "It's crescendoing, isn't it?"

"They're proliferating wildly." Ellie hushly said. "They're lasting 3, 4 times longer than they should. And all my models are pointing toward a global ecological collapse, Ian."

"Downstairs, sublevel 6." Ian instructed placing his access band in her hand. "That's where they keep the locusts. Look for a lab marked L4."

"But wait, how are we gonna get down there?" Ellie asked as Alan and Tyler chatted and the whirring stopped.

"Hey, this looks so silky." Ian suddenly said mentioning her coat. "May I touch this blouse, by any chance?"

"Sure." Ellie said playing along.

"You know what it is?" Ian inquired as Alan turns to them. "Don't tell... Don't tell me. This is..."

"You won't know it." Ellie said.

"Sustainable bamboo." Ian said.

"It is sustainable bamboo." Ellie said as Alan turned away.

"That's why I said it." Ian said.

"How'd you know that?" Ellie asked.

"I just know." Ian said.

"It's amazing."

"Very amazing."

"I've go cumin, cinnamon." Tyler offered. "I've got allspice, which is not very popular. I've got 5-spice..."

"Doctor." Ian said.

"Um, if you're into that kind of feel." Tyler said as Alan turns to Ian. "Um, and let's talk milks."

"Yeah." Alan said as Ian walks off.

"Okay, soy milk, yes?" Tyler said.

Ellie gasped as they walked off.

"No." Tyler said.

"What just happened?" Alan asked bewildered.

"We're in." Ellie whispered.

Ian heads up the staircase as chatter fills the room, and overhead Lewis at a walkway watched suspiciously like a predator watching and then walks off.


Moments later, he stood in an elevator as the doors opened.

"Sublevel 6. Restricted." An automated voice rang.

Lewis stepped out of the elevator then 2 Zachbots followed him on both sides as they wandered through the hall.


In a lab, a glass cage contains a dozen locusts, and a black with a red V stood by it.

"Lewis, Zach, you're not listening to me." A man said. "The locusts' prehistoric DNA has made them stronger than they should be."

Lewis held a DNA helix model in hand twirling it around while staring at a chalkboard fill with notes and images, one was a Black-throated Monitor Lizard. The animal behind Blue's genome and what gave her the trademark blue stripe.

"They're multiplying like crazy, and they're not dying." He said. "What part of this don't you understand?"

"Oh, I don't understand." Lewis said calmly.

"This is gonna be a global famine." Dr. Henry Wu said now with longer hair.

"Hey, hey, we can't anticipate everything." Lewis countered turning to him.

"Besides, this is what we call a minor setback." Said appearing was Zach Varmitech. "We'll tweak it."

"Really, because you are acting way too calm for this." Henry said. "We need to eradicate the ones we released."

"What?" Lewis stared.

"All of them." Henry said.

"No. No." Lewis denied. "Henry."

"Like... Like yesterday." Henry said.

"Henry, we don't want to cause a panic." Lewis said. "We want control."

"There's no such thing." Henry said sounding as if he learned from past experience in Jurassic Park and Jurassic World.

"Why of course there is." Zach said ignoring what he said. "Us humans sit at the top of the world pyramid, being in control of the world."

Lewis then gestured him to be quiet, and he sat next to Henry and sighed.

"When we're afraid, what do you do?" Lewis questioned. "What have we done before? We follow through. That's what we do. Right?"

"Right." Henry said though in a regretful tone.

They remained silent for a few moments.

"The found the girl." Lewis said bringing up his trump card. "She's en route. Cost me a fortune."

"What?" Henry frowned. "Wait, you found her?"

"Yeah, found them both?" Lewis said. "Her and the little Raptor. Blue reproduced all on her own, just like you said. You're so smart, Henry."

Henry chuckled softly though unamused.

"And not only, but the Wild Ratts' turtle ship is always on it's way." Zach said. "Aviva thought she could be smarter than me, but I'll show them who gets the last laugh."

"That's why this works." Lewis said. "You understand the value of these creatures. You always do. I do, too. We don't stop because of a, what, little side project went south? Hey, if they trace the locusts back to us, they come for the dinosaurs. All your work, gone. Billions of dollars in assets, gone. Diamonds with no one to mine them."

"30 years of work gone in just a snap of our fingers." Zach said he snapped his fingers. "Out of business for good. Just like how the Wild Ratts shut me down with people saying my inventions are considered, "Weapons of Mass Destruction"." He made a quote gesture.

"Some of the animals you've caught are critically endangered, Zach." Henry said.

"Now, just a nanosecond..." Zach said.

Lewis then stopped him before things got tense and got back to the subject. "You really think she's the solution?" He turned back to Henry.

Henry then stood up.

"Okay." Lewis said. "Everything involving the girl goes through me, right?"

"Is she all right?" Henry asked looking concern as Maisie's safety was his top priority.

"She better be." Lewis said and turns and walks off. "She's the most valuable intellectual property on the planet."

He walks and leaves the lab.


Author's Note:

Last June when I saw Dominion for the first time, the scene of Alan, Ellie and Ian reunited after 29 years, I almost felt like I was experiencing the same feeling when Jurassic Park came out.

And the Dreadnoughtus was truly amazing, and sorry to disappoint Brachiosaur fans, but Dreadnoughtus is now the biggest dinosaur to appear in cinema history. And you know, after hearing the Dreadnoughtus skeleton was still growing when it died, I'm sure it must be a mature sub adult, an adult could weigh somewhere between 70 to 80 tons. And maybe a length between 90 to 110 feet long at the most.

Next, you'll see where 2 certain other villains are, and let's say it's a place where they truly are suited.

And today, finally, the official teaser of Prehistoric Planet 2 came out. I was beginning to wonder if it was coming out.

First off, starting with showing 2 Hatzegopterx on a sandbar of an island. A male and female, the female had a smaller crest, and the male I think had breeding colors. Either that or it's a new look. One shot showed a herd of Titanosaurs crossing a volcanic field with spewing lava, which I heard could be Isisaurus, but it's hard to tell for sure. Then some kind of Troodont snatching a bird in mid-air like a Caracal.

Then a seabird, similar to Hesperornis, likely a relative snatching fish. And a feathered baby dinosaur bumping into the leg of an adult, but can't make out the species. Then a group of what I think could be Elasmosaurus corralling fish. Then the return of Nanqusaurus as one was chasing a group of Ornithiomimus. Then a Troodont of some kind running through a swarm of flies snatching them up.

And then, a pair of Queztalcoatlus on the shoreline confronting a T. Rex defending a carcass of an Alamosaurus. I easily know that the giant pterosaurs will have to wait their turn with this scene.

And lastly, the return of Beelzebufo of Madagascar standing up to, without a doubt, Rapetosaurus. And Prehistoric Planet returning to Madagascar got me thinking.

Will Prehistoric Planet 2 introduce Madagascar's top predator: Majungasaurus?

If you look at the area where that shot was taken, it actually looks like somewhere in Africa. To me it's familiar, but I can't figure out which country though.

I truly can't wait to get back to Wild Prehistoric Planet, and what dinosaurs will be shown.

And lastly, today marks 81 years since the Doolittle Raid. The day America began to avenged Pearl Harbor. And today I added a new edition in my Safari Ltd collection, the 2014 figure of a Bowhead Whale.
