I don't own any of this Loud House belongs to Nickelodeon and Jurassic Park/World belongs to Universal.
Landing at an airstrip some time ago, the Louds and McBrides walked their way through the busy streets of Costa Rica and while the overall sites and buildings are very interesting to look at as it's all of their first time here, it didn't distract them from why they are here in the first place.
It's overall very lucky for them that Lisa can speak various different languages as she uses her skills of communication to get general directions to the docks for with them being very unfamiliar with the place, it's very easy for someone like them to get themselves lost. But thanks to Lisa, they've managed to get themselves down to the very busy docks.
Crowds of people with some carrying items, fish, or baskets walked pass them with little regards. There's also a bunch of fishing or shopping stands with many stand owners shouting out their products in hopes of making a sale. One stand caught Leni's attention as it had a very pretty necklace made out of seashells that's proudly displayed for all to see.
"How totes adorable." Forgetting about their missing over the interest of the cute necklace, Leni began to move towards the stand, but thankfully got stopped by Lori firmly grabbing a hold of her arm, while giving her a bit of a stern look. "Leni. We're not here to shop remember."
"Oh right. Sorry Lori." She promptly replied with a bit of guilt over getting distracted so easily.
"It's okay Leni. Just remember that we're only here to find the boat that will take us to the island." Giving Leni a gentle pat on the shoulder blade, she along Leni continues walking with their family and the McBrides, scanning the many boats and ships they've passed by for the one they're looking for could be any one of these.
After passing by a large fishing ship, a grey yacht came into view with several men on it, including the legendary Rip Hardcore, who stood on the top of the bridge, with his hand over his eyes as he scans around the docks. He soon spots them and waves to the two families, who've all stopped in their tracks as he called out to them. "Aye mates! Are you the Louds and McBrides?"
"We sure are and is this the S.S Venture?" Lynn Sr. asked.
"Your definitely seeing her mates. This beauty will get you all to our destination with no problem. Just like when I take her around for a spin in the mighty Amazon river." Jumping out of site with a hearty laugh, both families looked astonishingly to Lynn Sr.
"Whoa popstar. You got Rip Hardcore to help us out." Luna exclaimed.
"How did you manage to get him to help us? I heard he was camping in the Himalayas." Howard stated as that's what he read on a local magazine at the barber shop.
"It wasn't easy." He confessed. "I had to do a lot of convincing, not to mention spend a good chunk of our savings and a bit of bribery with my Lynnasagna. But I spared no expense when it comes to rescuing our boys."
"Makes sense that we would hire him." Lisa began with her hands behind her back. "Besides him being one of our male sibling unit favorite idol, right next to his favorite rock band and magician. Hardcore is also an expert on outdoor survival, which is a very useful skill that we all definitely need during our expedition of Isla Nublar. Even if he's acts like a stereotypical macho man on occasions."
"We're not going to have to rub dung on ourselves are we?" Lola question in disgust.
"Don't knock it, till you try it." Lana happily remarked before going on over to the side of the boat with some careful observations. "Hmm, nice grey paint job, seaworthy enough, a few marks on the hull from pass adventures, and I'm guessing she's equipment with a 33X motor."
"40X, actually." One of the men cleaning deck kindly corrected.
"Nice" That's a very good motor, it let's the boat go very fast during travel, not to mention create a beautiful roar it makes whenever someone starts it up. Meanwhile two french guys with full fledge beards connected to thick mustaches, jumped off the boat and approached the two families.
"Need help with those luggages?" The one with the red beard asked them.
"That would be most lovely, thank you." Harold replied with a smile as he and Howard, along with the Louds handed the men half of their luggage and then watched as they bring their luggage on board the boat in which they themselves shortly come aboard with the rest of their luggage.
Being on board the ship; the Louds took notice that the boat reminded them of Gramps's fishing boat, though a bit bigger, slightly dirtier, and have a lot more survival gear. "Sure is a beauty isn't it." Rip proudly declared as he walked up to them.
"Uh" Harold hesitated for a bit after noticing a large black rat scurrying across the deck. "Your boat is very lovely Mr. Hardcore."
"Thanks mate. I keep this lovely lady ship shaped the best I along with my trusty crew can do." It's very clear that Rip is very proud of his ship, they can respect that, but they must at least know one important thing.
"Is it good for our trip?" Rita firmly asked as that's the most important thing for them to know, considering on where they're going it's a guarantee to know the boat won't sink if attacked.
"I happily assure you miss. We took very heavy precautions before you all showed up here. Not only have we planned out the safest place to dock, we also got enough firepower to protect us from any obstacles." Rip happily replied. However the mere mention of firepower really concerned Lana. The dinosaurs may be very dangerous when either threaten or hungry, but it's just that with her being an animal lover, she wouldn't like to see them get shot.
"You sure that you have to kill them?"
"Don't worry little lady. The guns are only loaded with tranquilizer darts, so if we do have to shoot one. They'll just go to sleep." Rip heavily reassured her, making Lana feel a lot more better upon knowing that the dinosaurs weren't going to be hurt or killed by those guns. "Phew! That's a heavy relief."
"Now if anyone else has any other questions. It would be a good time to ask for we're about to set off soon." Politely waiting for a response from any of them as he's very well sure that they truly have one or a couple more questions before their trip to the ultimate survival challenge in the history of humankind. Granted he wouldn't be the first one to survive on a dinosaur infested island, for that kid; Eric Kirby impressively survived alone on Isla Sorna for about eight weeks.
Now other than that little challenge he wanted to face head on, he really did want to answer a question or two. The blond girl with the sunglasses on her head is finally the one who eventually rose her hand up above her head. "Yes?"
"Where's the bathroom? I gotta take a little tinkle." Leni kindly asked him. It wasn't a question he'd preferred to hear, but it's a question nonetheless.
"Below deck, second door on the right."
"Thank you." Leni smiled sweetly to him before heading off to the bathroom, while hoping to remember Rip's exact directions.
After Leni disappeared below deck, Rip turned to the rest of them, who all just simply stare back at him blankly. "Does anyone else have any questions?" The replies he gotten are simple no's or we're good. "Alrighty then!" He declares in a loud adventurous voice directed to the rest of the crew. "Let's set sail!"
Rushing away to the bridge, Rip leaves the Louds and McBrides to mingle about on the ship with Howard, Harold. Lynn Sr., and Rita going to a seat underneath the bridge in order to collect themselves for they are actually going to do it. They're going to be saving their kids from certain danger. The only thing that they feared is that they themselves would end up in a grave situation, which will certainly happened during their time over on Isla Nublar.
They certainly didn't want to end up getting killed, especially after all this time of not knowing that if their boys were alright. They'll just have to fight hard and be very smart when they eventually set foot on the island. They can't be reckless no matter what happens. These thoughts are the same for the sisters to. The place they are going to isn't Royal Woods and from the serious advice Lisa has given all of them during their time on the plane, they all needed to be absolutely silent. If they all scream or emit their usual volume of sound, they might as well ring out a dinner bell for all known carnivores on the island.
Them being quiet however will be most difficult for besides Lucy and Lisa, they are naturally Loud and are not known to stay silent for a very long period of time, especially when they are worried over one another's safety. They are going to try very hard however, as it is for their own good.
Anyway they all dispersed themselves throughout the front of the yacht, all busy thinking about on what they were going to do once getting there? Most importantly on where they were going to look first? It's a big island, Lincoln and Clyde could be anywhere over there. They could be in the middle of the island for all they know, but more realistically they are most likely near a human structure such as Main Street where all the essentials they need for survival are conveniently placed on shelves. They'll start their search there first, then fan out to other structures throughout the island.
"Anchor is raised!" A shout called out from the back of the ship. Moments later the crew scrambled around as the sound of the motor roared to life.
Hearing the roar of the motor sent a smile form on Lana for it's more beautiful than she had previously thought. Moments later the yacht slowly moved away from the docks and out into open sea, where both families watched the other ships and fishing boats float right pass them as well as the landscape.
"I don't know about you guys, but I say now is the perfect moment to have a sea santee." Pulling out her acoustic guitar from her back, Luna played fitting sea music as the "S. S. Venture" moved further away from the busy docks.
Drinking from the river are two dilophosaurs that stood on the muddy banks, feeling the cool water go down their throats. Removing her mouth from water, the one on the right raises her head up with small drips of water coming off her chin.
Looking to the river, she tilts her head slightly left as the kayak carrying both Lincoln and Clyde went slowly past them. Letting out a hoot as the other dilophosaur looked to her with curiosity, she goes right on back to her morning drink.
On the kayak itself; Clyde breathed a sigh of relief for those two dilophosaurs weren't coming after them. With that threat now down to a level zero, it allowed Clyde to sit himself back with the top of both of his hands slightly in the flowing river. This was definitely the life; drifting in the cool river with your best friend in this tropical environment.
Too bad that this morning wasn't exactly relaxing as when he woke up earlier, Clyde found a large, hairy spider right on his chest. The freakout he let out nearly capsize them into the water, it did however sent that spider into the water. That certainly wasn't the most pleasant site to wake up to, though Clyde supposed that at least he didn't wake up to a poisonous snake on his chest, that would've been way more worse.
But after that morning freakout, it was a lot more smoother as they have been drifting down this river all morning with zero dinosaur attacks. "So how long do you think this river will last?" He finally asked Lincoln, who's leaning his body a bit forward.
Turning to regard him, Lincoln let's up a shrug. "I have no idea. Could end at a river dock or even up to the coast. I do hope however that there's no waterfall."
"I wouldn't worry about a waterfall. After all this is a ride, I wouldn't think that they would have a waterfall on this river."
"Hmm, good point." Leaning back into his original position, Lincoln and Clyde enjoyed themselves as the thick jungle lazily went pass them. A few calls from pteranodons got them a bit on edge, but it sounded like that they are far away enough to not be any threat to them.
Coming across a bend in the river, the jungle on their right clears away to reveal a wide open space with a medium sized herd of parasaurolophus with a total of thirteen nests of eggs all spread out with full size adults protectively watching over them, while other adults feasted at the jungle's edge. The huge herbivores weren't alone at the clearing however as scampering around the nesting ground are compies that are busy snatching up flies or mosquitos buzzing around. One compy foolishly gets too close to a nest of eggs and promptly got roughly pushed away by the angry mother who releases a rough grunt.
Watching from their kayak, the two suddenly felt themselves jump as one parasaurolophus suddenly rose up from the water with a long underwater plant sticking out of her mouth, completely rocking the kayak with her waves. "Whoa! Easy there girl." Clyde spoke up with a chuckle as some water splashed down on both him and Lincoln.
The hadrosaur merely glances down at the two, chewing the wet plant with no regard. She then shakes her head with a bit of a sneeze and walks on back to shore just as a cry of an alarm rang out in the herd, who all immediately grew agitated as the ones laying near their nests got up to their full height and cried out loudly together in one direction.
"What's got them mad?" Clyde wondered out loud for were they agitated them?
"I don't know." Lincoln soon spotted on what is agitated the herd and promptly pointed it out to Clyde. "Wait! Look!"
Coming out from the jungle is an allosaurus, who has came here for an easy meal. The carnivore stopped himself at the very edge of the clearing, tilting his head a bit as the angry herd bellowed loudly, some raising themselves up, towering above the carnivore before slamming themselves down with a great amount of dirt being kicked up.
The carnivore now fidgeting his fingers, slightly lifts his left foot up a bit, not really sure on what to do. It wasn't until one large male made a mock charge at him, that he finally decided that he wouldn't be finding a meal here and slowly retreats back into the jungle.
With the allosaurus now gone. The herd slowly calms themselves down before going back to their own business. For Lincoln and Clyde, it was an amazing site as they drift further away from the nesting site. It's very good that they weren't on the receiving end of the herds fury, the last thing they needed is to have a ton of large bodies charging at them.
Fifteen minutes after passing the parasaurolophus nesting ground. The river has narrowed a bit, causing the shores to be a bit closer to them as well as several rocks that the kayak bumps against occasionally, the jungle is also a bit more thicker in this area.
The kayak bumps against another rock, rocking it's passengers a bit. "Aw man. We gotta try to avoid those rocks." Clyde remarks as he held a tight grip on the right side of the kayak.
"Fully agree. I bumped myself into both sides of the kayak more than once." Rubbing his side with his hand just to emphasize his point, Lincoln slowly laid his eyes to the thick jungle on his left, wondering on what exactly is lurking in there?
"Hey is it me or are we starting to speed up." Clyde then stated.
Raising himself up in alarm, Lincoln took a more closer observation on the movement of the passing scenery to discover that they were indeed moving faster. "Whoa! This can't be good for if we're going faster. Then that can only mean we're heading straight for-"
"Rapids!"
Up ahead; the river surges down into fast rapids with water crashing against much larger rocks as the embankment slightly rose up to reveal their dirt walls. The kayak is powerless against the raging current as it traveled more faster, bouncing the two boys who clung on for dear life as their bodies rocked from side to side.
The kayak steers right under the current, heading straight for a pointy rock. Releasing a short cry of panic Lincoln and Clyde quickly leaned their bodies to the left as far out as possible, their combine weight steers the kayak away from the incoming rock with it only scrapping against the back end.
That was a very close one, but they weren't out of the woods, not by a long shot as more, much larger rocks laid in their path. Out of survival and adrenaline the two leaned their bodies from left to right in a constant cycle in order to avoid a horrible collision. It's very difficult to keep control against the strong current, it especially didn't help them when the kayak went down sharp curves that nearly slammed them into the embankments more than once. Things then got very bumpy for them as the kayak went over small waterfalls at about five times before the kayak got pulled into the middle of the river and went over a slightly larger waterfall at such speeds, the kayak went flying in the air for a short amount of time before splashing back down into much more calmer water.
Both wet and wide eyed from the experience they've endured on the rapids, the two slowly looked back to the waterfall they flew over for a couple seconds, when very surprisingly the two began to laugh. "Phew! Well that sure was a thrill ride."
"Thrilling, but definitely a bit terrifying when we almost crashed into some of those sharp rocks." Looking back, Clyde counted on both of his hands on how many times they almost tasted rock or dirt when they almost crash landed on the embankments. With that in mind, Clyde slowly glances down to his hip area where it's noticably wet. "This is just water by the way." He quickly pointed out.
"Don't worry, I believe you." Lincoln quickly reassured him for his hip area is a bit wet to. Looking around the area now, Lincoln took notice of the very tall trees surrounding both sides of the watering hole that ended towards a much more narrow river. "Do you know where we are by the way?"
"Hmm" Clyde closely studied the land around them, he swears that he has seen this area before, but he has a bit of trouble on remembering where, until it finally hit him like a rock to the head. "Looks like part of the Cretaceous Cruise."
"How do you know that?" Lincoln asked.
"I remember seeing this waterfall on the brochure for it." Clyde replied as he pointed back to the waterfall. "This is pretty good for us when you think about it. As the end of the Cretaceous Cruise is near a monorail station. We could fallow the track all the way back down to Main Street, where then we can finally get ourselves back to the shelter."
"Hopefully the T-Rex won't be around." Lincoln nervously pointed out.
Clyde forgotten about that huge detail, and now that he did remembered the tyrannosaur territory being in Main Street, he became a bit scared.
"Oh right." Releasing a gulp over the possible encounter with the apex predator, Clyde with the help of Lincoln paddles the kayak into the river of the Cretaceous Cruise.
The journey through this river is just as relaxing as the river they were on earlier. Although there were a lot more dinosaurs to see here like a pair of stegosaurus eating ferns near the river's edge, a triceratops rubbing a horn against the bark of a tree, a sleeping baryonyx underneath the shades of the trees, and a apatosaurus in the water eating the leafs from the trees that slowly looked down at them as the two went pass the giant's rear legs.
To think; if things didn't go wrong with the indominus. They could've been enjoying this without the fear of an attack. It really sold on how tragic the events leading to the abandonment of Jurassic World is. Most importantly if that incident didn't happen, they wouldn't be stranded here.
"I see the dock up ahead." Clyde soon announces.
"Yep. Let's bring the boat in."
Working together, the boys bring the kayak to the wooden dock. Parking it right along with the other kayaks that are docked here with some on the concrete ground. With the kayak firmly docked, Lincoln and Clyde finally get themselves out of their kayak and did a series of long stretches of both their legs and backs that are a bit stiff from how long they've been cooped up in that kayak. "Oh that feels so good." Clyde couldn't help but say.
Meanwhile Lincoln takes it upon himself to look at the monorail station up ahead. If he remembers correctly, the way to Main Street was to go left. "You about ready to move out Clyde?" He then at last asked him.
"Ready as I ever be." Doing one final stretch of his legs, Clyde trails close behind Lincoln towards the station. Until he bumped against him as Lincoln suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. The bump pushes Lincoln a bit, while Clyde got pushed back a bit. This very well confused Clyde, especially when Lincoln suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him right behind a large sign for the Cretaceous Cruise.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Lincoln replies with a simple shushing motion, then slowly pokes his head out right along with Clyde who had a very bad feeling in his guts. He had to hold in a gasp as that same freaky dinosaur that attacked them last night way back at Hidden Adventure came out of the jungle on all fours.
Didn't they escape that thing. How is it here already?
Sniffing the ground as it moved to the front of the staircase leading up to the monorail. The Scorpios Rex stops with a slight twitch of its body, it then slowly raises on up to its hind legs, where it sniffs the air with a low growl before suddenly looking over towards the sign Lincoln and Clyde are hiding behind.
Quickly ducking back, Lincoln and Clyde went stiffly silent. The Scorpios comes on over, stopping just short of the sign as it sniffs some more of the scent it had picked up. Slowly moving forward with a slightly open mouth, the front of its face appeared in the two boys vision making them even more stiff.
Suddenly the Scorpios drew itself back as it rose itself back up and looks back. A gallimimus comes out from the jungle, then swiftly runs off upon seeing the terrifying predator. The Scorpios releases a terrifying scream, then went off in pursuit of its unfortunate victim.
Still hiding behind the sign, until the last of the sound of snapping branches faded away. Lincoln and Clyde slowly came on out into the open, staring out into the dense jungle just in case the Scorpios came back. "That was way too close." Clyde stated under his breath as he fought to recompose himself.
Meanwhile Lincoln continues to look out into the jungle with a non vacant stare for quite a bit before finally finding his motor skills. "Let's move out."
Going off the concrete ground, they began fallowing the monorail track from underneath. The two already knew from experience that it's going to be very difficult during their walk towards Main Street, they also wondered on how things around here could get even more complicated for them.
"Land ho!"
It's late afternoon and onboard the"S. S. Venture", Luna is still singing some fitting sea songs with a noticeable crowd of some of the crew and some of her sisters. Meanwhile Lucy hung underneath a dark shadow for all of this sun isn't exactly her thing, Lola is sunbathing on her own personal chair while her twin is happily scraping off some barnacles that are attached to the front of the boat. Lori and Leni are posing for some selfies for they knew that their friends would like to see them in front of the open sea with a dolphin jumping out in the background, which really sold the value of the picture. Finally Lisa is busy using some of her tools for not only navigation, but also for monitoring the weather just in case a storm is brewing as being stuck in rough seas during a storm on this size boat would not be ideal for any of them.
When the announcement of land came through, everyone stopped on what their doing and went up to the front of the yacht. Where right up ahead, growing ever more larger from each passing second is Isla Nublar with visible seabirds flying towards it.
There it was. They were actually here after all this time, they are finally here. From up on the bridge; Rip Hardcore stepped on out, sniffing the sea air so hard that the hair on his chest stood up.
"Prepare yourselves mates. For once we make landfall, we'll be in for an adventure of a lifetime."
Still observing the ever growing island. The Louds and McBrides knew that Hardcore's statement is going to be very true.
