A/N: Hey, everyone, sorry for the long hiatus on my stories. Thank you for the favorites and reviews on my stories. For the past few years, I have been battling writer's block, and I have lost interest in some of my stories. So, I figured I would share one of my newest fragments in the hopes that it will reignite my writing hobby. A quick note, I will diverge in the canon in both Batman The Animated Series and Jurassic Park for the sake of storytelling (the biggest example being the more scientifically accurate dinosaurs). Please enjoy!

Batman The Animated Series: Antediluvian Nights

Chapter 1: Red in Tooth and Claw

At approximately midnight on a starry Wednesday morning, the long-abandoned Belleplain Campground receives a gathering of unsavory visitors. Much like many places in Gotham, it was once a place of beauty and wonder until it was hit by hard times. Now, it was an overgrown mess only useful for these occasional shady dealings of Gotham's crime element. Drug deals, intimidations, and the annual disposal of a body. On the surface, this midnight meeting would be no different…

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

The sudden, thunderous burst of a submachine disrupted what was a quiet night, and it was quickly followed by the heavy panting and pounding footsteps of a panicked crimelord tumbling through the dense vegetation. Oswald Cobblepot, known in the criminal underworld as the Penguin, wasn't one to lose control so easily. Yet, of all the stupidest mistakes to be made, those idiotic technicians forgot to charge those blasted batteries! The Penguin could not believe he was about to give up 250 million dollars on this venture, only for it to backfire on such a stupid mistake. His tailored suit was ripped and tattered. His tophat was missing, and his monocle cracked. Now, his trick umbrella was out of ammo. The Penguin was beyond losing control. He was on the verge of panic. His eyes teared up as he felt the exhale of hot, steamy breath on the back of his neck. The Penguin felt the world go into slow motion as he heard the hauntingly aggressive hooting and hissing, followed by clicks of sharp teeth and claws. Those claws! That was the last thought that passed through Oswald Cobblepot's mind as felt the white-hot pain of those claws and teeth.

Hours later, the carnage was discovered by a pair of land developers, and the GCPD arrived on the scene in quick fashion. If it weren't for the heinous crimes of the Joker and other so-called supervillains, none on the force would have been prepared for the scene. Still, this steeled demeanor of the GCPD did nothing to undermine the horror such a scene held.
