Hey guys. One day later, and another chapter. This one should explain some things, as well as make the plot a bit more involved.

Enjoy Chapter 7!


Elsa practically dragged Indi into her office by his arm, and slammed the door behind them, fury in her actions.

"What the hell was that!" Elsa practically screamed. "Why didn't you tell me?!"

Indi was shocked at Elsa. During his stay here at the castle, he never heard Elsa even raise her voice, let alone swear.

"I was afraid," Indi said.

"Oh, you were afraid! Am I not afraid?" she ranted, pacing. "Some psychopath comes into this castle and threatens both myself and the ones I care about, and nearly cut your head off! Someone I have come to trust tells me that I invited an assassin into my home! Then that same someone transforms into some ungodly beast right before my eyes, the same ungodly beast that my me have been hunting for weeks now! Am I not to be afraid?!"

"Is that how you see me, Elsa?" Indi said, his voice full of hurt. "Some monster that needs to be destroyed? If anyone should know how that feels, it should be you, of all people."

That stopped Elsa's furious pacing. She turned to speak, but Indi wasn't done, his voice rising.

"That 'someone', who protected you and your family, was willing to give his life for you and your family's. That 'someone' was turned into a beast before he was born, who didn't have a say in whether he wanted to be or not, who had his mother taken from him at a young age and watched her die in front of him, stood up against those who did unspeakable cruelties to both him and his mother."

Tears started streaming down his face. "And you are upset just because he didn't tell you about an ugly side of his abilities?!" Indi was now pacing. "Though, come to think of it, you did the same thing, didn't you? You kept your powers secret from Anna."

"I did it to protect her!" Elsa yelled.

"I kept my abilities secret to protect all of you!" Indi yelled back. "Do you think I thought it was wise to tell you?! Do you think I thought it was safe for me to tell you?! The people would find out, then plot against you and your family to take out all of you! Just like when they found out about your powers! And you're just feeling betrayed because I didn't tell you?!"

"Indi," Elsa said, a bit more calmly. "I didn't know about your mother."

"I wasn't ready to deal with those emotions. Doesn't really matter now, does it?"

"I'm sorry, Indi," Elsa said, tears now in her eyes. "I shouldn't have spoken such things to you. I was just confused, and you were just afraid and grieving." She walked slowly over to Indi, gently putting her arms around him. Indi put his hands on her back, holding her close. "Besides, we're both still young. We don't know how to deal with such emotions." The pair went over to the small sofa in the corner of Elsa's office and sat, comforting each other. After quite some time, Elsa relinquished her hold on Indi, and rose.

"Well, now that that is settled, lets go meet that friend of yours," she said, passing Indi a tissue.

The pair walked out of Elsa's office, and down the hall, to the tea room. There, Anna and Kristoff were talking to Brynn about the weather on Isla Nublar.

"Ah," Elsa said.

"Hello, Brynn. I am Queen Elsa. How do you do?"

"Very well, thank you," Brynn said.

"So, Brynn," Elsa said. "I take it that you were genetically enhanced like Indi?"

"Oh, yes," the girl said. "He and I were in the same batch."

"Excuse me?"

"A batch," explained Indi, "is like a series of clothing; several types all coming out at the same time. On Nublar, the series of experimental children born from new versions of genetic makeup are called batches."

"Thank you for explaining, Indi," Elsa said.

"I have a question," Anna said, "and I think I speak for all of us when I ask 'How did the scientist create the experimental children?'"

"I agree," Kristoff said.

"Well, the details are a bit sketchy to me," Brynn said. "Indi, you wanna take this one?"

"Sure," Indi said, clearing his throat. "Where to start? Ah, yes. I must warn you though, the details I'm going to describe to you are grisly and morally horrible. The scientists first send out kidnappers to take young women from various locations, and to bring them back to Nublar. One there, the scientists grind up fossil bones of prehistoric animals, and extract proteins using a procedure call the Loy Antibody Extraction Technique.

Then, they mix up whatever proteins they have extracted, and inject them into a woman's egg, which is then injected into her womb. There, the embryo grows into whatever the proteins code it to. Then, the mother gives births to their child. Though some are healthy, most are very sick and die after the first few months.

Once the child makes it past the two year mark, it is studied to make sure it has the desired traits. Traits usually show up no later than age ten. At age five, the child is put through a series of tests, ranging from mazes, to cognitive puzzles, to agility, to strength, even to killing. If they fail those tests, they are given 'punishments', and every time the repeatedly fail a test, the punishments get more and more abusive. Sometimes the mothers fight back to protect their child. It usually doesn't go well. Sometimes, the child dies from the abuse. Other times, the child survives to go on to be a Mission Runner, like me and Brynn. They scientists hold 'graduation ceremony', but there is not such thing as graduation on Nublar, only survival.

"I, however, am different from the other children. I was made from the fusion of a human egg and genetic material from an hybrid animal called the Indominus rex. The animal is made up of a mixture of different animals. The base genome is a T-rex, the rest is classified. I don't know what the rest is.

"My mother was the only kindness in my life. She fought for me whenever I needed her.

"She nursed my wounds after failure-induced abuse. She helped me survive those years. One day, when I was thirteen years of age, I failed in killing a raging bull with my humanoid form, and when I was about to recieve my 'punishment', she fought the scientists. Then Von Shwicke came up to her, and beat her with his sword, giving horrible gashes. I watched the life drain out of her while she told me she loved me and everything will be okay," Indi started to cry at the memory. "When she kissed my head for the last time, she died," his voice was turning angry. "She gave birth to me when she was sixteen, and she was murdered when she was twenty-nine."

"They scientists take girls that young?" Anna said.

"Yes," Brynn said.

"My mother fought for me that day," Indi said. "She loved me when no one else did. I kept myself alive, hoping I would get the chance to go to someone to get help from. To help me free me comrades, and make those scientists pay for what they have done," He looked to Elsa. "Elsa, will you help me with my quest? If you would, I would be most grateful."

"Yes," Elsa said, a graveness in her voice.

"Thank you," Indi said.

Anna was shaking her head. "That's terrible. What about those girls families? Do they receive some form of compensation?"

"The scientists don't care about the girls' families. They only care about a few things: the girls' ability to bear a child, if their experiments work, and their paycheck."

"That's not right," Elsa said.

"Well," Indi said. "There are two men who are very kind to us, especially me. Their names are Owen Grady and Barry. The scientists hired him out of the American Navy to train a species of highly intelligent, predatory dinosaurs called Velociraptors. The program's initiator, Vic Hoskins wants to use the raptors for combat. The program received approval from the board of directors, but Owen and Barry are entirely against the use of raptors for military purposes.

"Eyes on me!" a man said, a clicker in his hand. Three raptors looked up at Owen Grady, attentive and alert. Except for Blue, who was looking around aimlessly. "Blue," Owen said, rapidly clicking his clicker. "Blue!" Blue looked up attentively. Blue had a primarily bluish-grey skin color, with a blue stripe on each side "Watch it," Owen warned. Then Charlie shrieked at Delta. "Charlie, don't gimme that shit!" More clicking. "Good," Owen said, finally having all four raptors staring up at him. "Okay, and we're moving!" Owen started walking along the walkway above the raptor enclosure. Blue and Delta turned silently, while Charlie snapped at Echo's tail, which hit her as the youngest member of the pack, who was still trying to find her spot on the metaphorical totem pole. Echo ran in a small arc, trying to find her place again. Soon all of the raptors had rotated a ninety degree angle in one way of another, and were staring up at Owen.

"Okay, come up," Owen said, raising his upturned hand, at which the animals raised their heads and torsos. "Okay, hold" he said, making a fist with his right hand, and reaching for a tin bucket hanging on the railing of the walkway with his left. And taking out three dead, white mice and tossing them to three raptors, saying their names, causing the raptors to jump in the air and engulfing their mouse. "Echo, good, Delta, good girl, Charlie, there you go." Owen took a large, white rat out of the bucket. "Blue," he called, holding up the rat. "This one's for you." He tossed the rat to Blue, smiling as she leapt up to snatch the rat out of the air. "And...Go!" Owen put him hand down, releasing the raptors from their training session.

She was a bit of a pain… Okay, a big pain. And though she was occasionally fighting with Owen over being the pack leader, they had a very strong relationship.

Owen's relationship with all the raptors was very strong. Echo always had a child-like desire to please, and Charlie and Delta occasionally bickered like preteen twins. Owen had taken them all in, and loved them like they were his children.

"Owen!" called a voice. Owen looked over to see Vic Hoskins jogging up him.

"What?" Owen snapped, agitated by Hoskins' very presence.

"I was watching you, and you know what I saw? I saw a bond, a bond between man and beast. Haven't you every taken them out in the field, seen what they can do?"

At that moment, Barry, Owen's colleague walked up, knowing that Hoskins annoyed Owen to no end.

"Believe me," Owen said, shaking his head slowly. "You don't want that."

"'Take them out in the field'?" Barry asked. "Make a weapon?"

"Yeah, that's what 'Commander Vic' here wants to do," Owen said, gesturing to Hoskins. Barry just laughed, walking away. Owen turned in the opposite direction, but Hoskins couldn't take a hint, and followed.

"Owen, look at them," He gestured towards Blue, who was striding along in a very birdlike fashion, slightly bobbing her head, holding her tail stiff. "Nature has given us the perfect hunting machines Seventy-five million years ago. And now we know they can take orders. They have instructions, we can control them."

"What if they decide they want to be in control?" Owen asked, raising and eyebrow.

"Then we'll terminate the rogues," Hoskins said with smug confidence. "promote only loyal bloodlines."

"Vic," Owen said, getting frustrated. "you and I have seen what these things do to pigs. We've both seen what the raptor-human hybrids do to cows, deer, even humans. And you still want to use them in military operations. I don't think you know the repercussions such activities would cause."

"I know that we would win wars, Owen."

"You're one of the craziest lunatics I have ever had the displeasure to meet," Owen said, walking away, signifying that this conversation was over. "Sometimes, crazy can be helpful, beneficial even. Your kind of crazy can be dangerous. Your specific crazy is downright deadly." Then Owen walked away, down to his lakeside bungalow.

"Elsa," Indi said. "I need to thank you for helping me. This means so much to me."

"Your welcome," Elsa said, a small smile on her face. "We both lost our parents. In that way we are similar."

"That and we both have unusual abilities."

"That too," she said.

"So, what do we need to do to get the children off of Isla Nublar?"

"Well, it would be easier if I had a map." She handed him a piece of paper and a pen.

"Thanks. Okay, so in the north," he said, drawing. "That's the island's widest point. The east and west coasts come together to a point in the south. There's several bays along the east coast, and one in the northwest corner. All throughout the island, there are high mountains." He sat the pen down, and pushed the paper towards her.

"That's the basic outline of the island," Indi said. "I don't know where the paddocks are, but most human hybrids are kept in cages in the main complex building. Animals are kept in large paddocks with heavy metal fencing along the borders, with concrete moats around the edges. If I can get in contact with Owen, he may be able to help us. I'm sure he will."

"Okay," Elsa said. "I will need to make a speech to the people of Arendelle at some point, to explain what is happening as we suddenly get more people coming, as well as the newcomers' abilities."

That evening, Indi and Elsa went to Anna, Kristoff, and Brynn to explain their plan to get the children off of Nublar.

"So, what input do you guys have?" Indi asked.

"I'm all for it," Brynn said. Those good-for-nothing scientists need to be taught a lesson."

Anna had a bit more to say.

"WHAT?! Elsa have you lost your mind?! When you said you would help him, I thought you meant giving him some supplies, weapons maybe? But this?! This is sheer madness!"

"I agree with Anna," Kristoff said. "Let's do it."

"What?!" Anna exclaimed. "You to?! Whose side are you on, anyway?"

"I'm on the side who will have a high chance of doing something good for a lot of other people. Besides, feisty pants, you went after Elsa. That was crazy. I helped you. That was crazy on my part. I think we are all to be crazy at some point in our lives."

"I suppose you are right," Anna said. "I still think it's a bad idea."

"Thanks everyone," Indi said. "I mean it. Now here's what we need to do…"

The next three weeks were spent preparing weapons for the four to use. The weapons had to be light, and easy to carry and use. Indi, the master blacksmith, had created Elsa and Anna each a long, thin sword. Kristoff was crafted an arm mounted crossbow that could be fired by flexing his hand. Brynn was crafted a dual-sword system, where the swords were concealed in two scabbards that were attached to her back.

Indi looked at his own concealed sword and sighed. It was handy, but with only one, he still felt vulnerable.

So, after examining his diagrams for the first sword, he crafted a second for his other arm. Giving it a thorough stress and assembly testing, it held up perfectly. As he was polishing both of his blades, a voice startled him.

"It looks good," said Anna, standing in the doorway.

"Thanks," Indi said, holding up his work. "I still can't stop feeling that both of them are still missing something. Some sort of flair, or wow-factor."

"You'll think of something," Anna said as she turned to leave.

Indi sure hopped he would. Sitting as he was finishing up polishing his blades, the bumped into a vial he hadn't noticed before. Reading the label gave him an idea.

Elsa was sitting in the library, reading a book, and enjoying the peace and quiet when Kai approached her.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," he said bowing. "Sorry to disturb you, but the Duke of Weselton has arrived on our shores."

"What does he want?" Elsa said. It was no mystery to anybody why the queen disliked the Duke of "Weaseltown" with a passion. Who would like someone who tried to kill them anyway?

"He would like to talk to you about the monster that attacked us a few weeks ago. I would have told him that it's no longer a threat, but I thought you'd like to handle this."

"Very wise decision, Kai," said Elsa as she rose to deal with the Duke.

"Greetings, Queen Elsa," the Duke said.

"Hello," Elsa said. "But I believe I did say that we wouldn't be doing business of any sort."

"That is why I'm here. My people are in need of Arendelle's goods, Your Majesty. Therefore, I propose a trade."

"Which is?"

"If my men capture the beast that has been terrorizing your lands, then you will lift the trade embargo you placed on us."

"Well, it is quite tempting, but…" A loud explosion shook the courtyard, accompanied by a plume of black smoke rising from the vent at ground level that led to the smithy, followed by a triumphant voice.

"IT WORKED!"

"Who was that?" asked the Duke.

"A very good friend of mine," answered Elsa.

"Is he okay?" asked the Duke.

"I'll check," Elsa said as she walked over to the vent, and kneeled down beside it. "Indi, are you all right?"

"I'm fine," he called up the vent. "Let me just put out these small fire, and I'll be right up."

"Okay," Elsa called back. She turned back to the Duke. "Where were we?"

"We were discussing the embargo being lifted."

"Ah, yes. Well, I should inform you that the animal that had been attacking has been relocated."

"To where, if I may ask?" Then the Front doors of the castle opened and out walk Indi, in his full armor, with two thick sleeves on his forearms and a black glove on each hand.

"Is this your friend?" the duke asked Elsa.

"Yes. Indi, meet the Duke of Weselton."

"How do you do?" Indi said, putting a gloved hand out.

"I'm doing fine, thank you," the Duke said, scanning the newcomer. Then, they made eye contact, and Elsa saw the fear grow in the Duke's eyes.

"Is something wrong?" Elsa asked, turning to look at Indi's eyes. They were goldenrod in color, and the pupils were slitted and catlike.

"M-m-mo-MONSTER!" the duke said, pointing at Indi, who glanced at Elsa. "And you, Your Majesty, had been harboring him this whole time!"

"Now wait just a minute…" Elsa started.

And that's another thing. You managed to enchant it to not harm you. I bet it's just waiting for the perfect time to kill us all," he turned to his men. "Kill it!" They removed their swords, and advanced on Indi, who was already prepared to fight. He made his right hand into a fist, and held it up, causing the dukes men to hesitate as the pieces of a sword came out of the top of Indi's wrist and assembled themselves into a blade. They had been planning to kill someone unarmed. Still, they continued to advance, then, they attacked. After the first few attempted strikes, Indi held his out his left hand, and another blade assembled itself.

Elsa was impressed, but as a queen, she wasn't supposed to get involved in such fights. She watched as Indi fought with equal skill to the Duke's trained men. He managed to hold them off for a good amount of time. Eventually, he was overwhelmed.

"Time to kill the monster," the duke said, raising his knife.

Just when he was about to plunge the dagger into the boy's chest, Indi let out an inhuman, animalistic, shrieking roar.

Then the ground started to shake.

Indi had a satisfied smirk on his face as he looked at the Duke's fear-stricken face.

Then out of the castle doors burst Brynn, in the form of a T-rex, bellowing and charging the Duke and his men.

Then, Indi pressed a button a few times on his swords, causing them to erupt into flames, surprising everyone, even Elsa.

The Duke and his men jumped back in shock, as they saw a boy with demon-like eyes wielding two flaming swords. Along with the giant beast now towering over them, growling, the men were frozen in fear. Then, Indi and Brynn charged the men, both roaring like demons, chasing them to the boats. The entire scene was quite comical, if you weren't being chased.

As the ship pulled away, the duke said "We'll be back!"

"Oh, go back to Weaseltown," called Indi.

"Weselton! It's Weselton!" whined the duke.

It was one of the best days Indi had had so far in Arendelle.
