It didn't take long for Daniel and Maeda to reach the museum. The front entrance was open, but there didn't seem to be anyone around, which made Daniel a
little suspicious. As he made his way inside, Daniel equipped his revolver and checked the ammunition, making his way towards Dr. Klamp's lab with Maeda
following closely behind. When they reached the second floor, Daniel was more shocked to see that Dr. Klamp's door was open considering how anti-social the
good doctor is. "Klamp! You in here?!" Daniel called in as he slowly pulled open the door, but no one was inside. He was about to walk into the room when he
heard the unmistakable creak of a door opening from behind. He quickly spun around to see the tail end of a white lab coat disappearing from sight behind a
partially ajar double door in the opposite end of the room. "Maeda, go in the lab and dig up anything that you can on Klamp!" Daniel screamed as he quickly
made his way toward the double doors with his gun raised, ignoring the protests of Maeda. He kicked the door open when he reached it, finding himself in
another long hallway. With nowhere to go but forward, Daniel ran as fast as his large frame would allow.
Daniel was always just barely able to see Dr. Klamp turn a corner as he followed through several exhibits and hallways of the museum, screaming at the doctor
to stop, but to no avail. After a thoroughly unenjoyable game of cat and mouse, Daniel turned the next corner to find himself standing in the dinosaur exhibit. It
was a large, circular rotunda whose ceiling reached up passed the fourth floor, with every floor blocked off with a railing. There were a few dinosaur fossils on
stands throughout the area, but the most prominent was none other than the famous king of dinosaurs, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, standing proudly in the center
with its head held high and jaw wide open, as if letting out a shrilling roar. But Daniel had no time to marvel at the treasure, his eyes instead focused on the
back of Dr. Klamp who, standing beneath the T-Rex, was bent over and panting from the running. Daniel wasn't in such good shape himself; it's been a long
while since he ran so much. Panting as well, Daniel raised up his revolver and pointed it at Dr. Klamp. "That's enough, Klamp! You're under arrest!" he shouted
out between deep breaths. Dr. Klamp slowly stood up straight and turned toward Daniel, an ugly scowl sprawled across his face. "You're a fool, Officer Dollis!
You think you can charge me like a human?! Don't make me laugh!" he shouted out angrily. "I'm far above pathetic humans such as you! I am superior! I don't
follow the meaningless laws of humans anymore! You are beneath me!" he continued, his arms now spread open before him, a wild look in his eyes as he
started to laugh manically.
Daniel kept his gun pointed at the doctor, standing several meters before him. "You're nothing but a nut, Klamp! There's a cozy cell with padded walls that has
your name written all over it!" he shouted, but Dr. Klamp merely laughed again. Biting back a curse, Daniel dared to take a step closer to the crazy doctor.
"What are you thinking, Klamp?! Why would you help Eve?! Do you have any idea what she's trying to do?!" he shouted out angrily. Dr. Klamp stopped
laughing as he studied Daniel a little closer. "Of course I do." he replied simply, a wicked grin on his face. "Eve means to birth the Ultimate Being, and she
requested my help to do so, no doubt recognizing my genius. And once the Ultimate Being is created, she'll wipe out every insignificant, disgusting human from
the face of the planet! The world will be reset, just as it has dozens of times before! And I, Hans Klamp, will be at the forefront of this new world that I helped
to create! I will rise above you! I will be perfect!" he screamed out as loud as he could, a look of absolute jubilation plastered on his mug. He then pointed a
finger at Daniel, his eyes livid. "And you, YOU will be the first to die! EVE! HEAR ME! SMITE THIS PATHETIC, SINFUL HUMAN BEFORE ME! TEACH HIM OUR DIVINE
WILL!" he bellowed deeply, the room filling with his manical laughter once again.
Daniel cursed out, his heart thumping loudly in his ears as he looked all around the rotunda for any sign of Eve, but his ears found her first. "Klamp, you foolish
man. You dare to order me? It seems that you have forgotten your place." Daniel was startled by the voice because it sounded like it was echoing from inside
his head. So this is Eve's voice… Is this telepathy? Daniel looked over at Klamp and saw that he was no longer laughing, obviously dumbfounded by Eve's
words. "You proved most useful, for a human. However, you have exceeded your usefulness. I no longer have any need for you. You may die now." Eve spoke
out, rather placidly. Klamp blinked his eyes a few times, staring up at the ceiling, before setting his eyes down on Daniel, his smile fading slowly. "….huh?"
Those were the last words uttered by the insane doctor before he was suddenly set ablaze. Daniel recoiled from the sudden incineration, and rushed over to
Dr. Klamp as he fell onto the floor, screaming out in agony. Daniel removed his brown overcoat and desperately padded the flames, but it was already too late.
He cursed out, but had no time to think when Eve spoke out again. "You are Aya's partner, are you not?" she spoke out in his head. Daniel quickly stood up
over Dr. Klamp's body, looking around frantically. "Where are you?! Where's Aya?!" he shouted angrily, Eve laughing at his outburst. "Don't worry, human. You
will join your partner very shortly." she promised him, her voice going silent again. Daniel swallowed nervously at this point. Was she going to incinerate him
next? Not wanting to find out, he turned toward the doors to meet up with Maeda when he stopped dead in his tracks.
His eyes wide with bewilderment, Daniel watched as an orange puddle of goo appeared before him. The puddle slid across the floor around him as it made its
way toward the center. "Is this… the goo that Aya mentioned…?" Daniel muttered to himself. He watched as the puddle of goo slid its way up onto the stand of
the T-Rex, and made its way up the T-Rex's leg. Daniel could do nothing but watch as the goo expanded itself over the large fossil, like a blanket. His eyes wide
with horror, Daniel's body started to shake in fear as he watched this 65 million year old relic begin to move once again, the goo forming itself with the
skeleton. Lifting up its head, the reborn T-Rex let out a mighty roar as it snapped the supporting cables attached to it, stepping down from its stand, its
footstep shaking the floor. Daniel was simply frozen with confusion, amazement, and fear before he was brought back to his sense when the T-Rex set its
hollow eye sockets in his direction. Cursing out, Daniel forced himself to run back through the double doors into the adjacent hallway, the T-Rex letting out
another mighty roar as it chased after him. Daniel almost skidded on the floor as he ran down the hall as fast as he could, the T-Rex smashing itself into the
wall behind him, letting out a frustrated roar.
Daniel made his way over to Dr. Klamp's lab on the second floor, his undershirt drenched with sweat. Panting deeply, he pushed open the door to find Maeda
sitting in front of the computer, looking in his direction. "Daniel! I'm glad you're here! You're not going to believe…" he started, before noticing the condition he
was in. "Are you alright? Where's Dr. Klamp?" he asked timidly. "No time! We need to get out of here!" Daniel shouted back. Maeda was about to ask what was
happening when the T-Rex let out another roar, a look of utter fear on his face. "W-what was that?!" he asked shrilly, but Daniel made no attempt to explain
as he hurried in and grabbed Maeda's arm. "Later! We need to go NOW!" Daniel implored, half-pulling Maeda to the door.
Together, the two men ran down to the first floor and out of the main entrance. It was already dusk with the sun setting, making the sky a dull orange, but
they paid no mind as they ran toward the patrol car, the T-Rex letting out another roar accompanied by another thunderous crash. Daniel and Maeda stood by
the squad car when they looked back at the museum to see that the crash was the wall crumbling away as the T-Rex forced itself outside. Roaring out again,
as if celebrating its freedom, the T-Rex seemed to look in their direction again before charging at them with its jaw wide open, it's very large and pointed teeth
flashing like swords. With a yelp, the two men quickly ran down the road as the T-Rex's teeth dug themselves into the car, crushing it like a soda can. The two
men stumbled on the ground, desperately trying to crawl away as they watched the T-Rex lift up the patrol car and swing it around effortlessly, before
releasing its grip on it and sending it flying into a building.
Maeda was shaking and crying silently as he sat on the street, unable to turn his eyes away from the majestic creature. Cursing out, Daniel, who sat next to
him, pointed his revolver at the monster and let lose his ammo until his gun was empty. Each shot found its mark, but it didn't seem to affect the monster at all.
With one last roar, the T-Rex ran straight at him, filling the distance with only three steps, its jaw wide open, ready to tear him apart.
Daniel threw his arms up instinctively out of sheer desperation, knowing full well that he was going to die. However, when the T-Rex's teeth was mere inches
away from the duo, for a split second, Daniel saw a streak of gold flash across his path, before he was pushed back by a sudden shockwave, dust and debris
flying up into the air. Daniel tumbled around on the pavement before stopping on his front, Maeda's stifled cries erupting next to him. With a moan, Daniel
quickly lifted his head to look forward at the T-Rex, his eyes wide in disbelief when the dust cleared.
Standing in front of the T-Rex, her hands each holding a large tooth as she held the monster back, was a young, blonde, Asian American girl with tattered blue
jeans, a torn white shirt, and dirty, black sneakers. Her right hand holding a large tooth from the monster's upper jaw, and her left holding a tooth from the
lower jaw, she stood at the center of a small crater that formed when the monster collided with her, her body shaking from the effort of pushing back against a
creature of such a large size. Daniel could do nothing but stare in bafflement as she gave out a loud scream, before lifting up her right leg and swiftly kicking
the monster in the jaw, the sheer force of the impact breaking off the two teeth that she held as well as forcing the behemoth to step back a few times as it
attempted to open its mouth again, its remaining lower teeth having pierced the inside of its upper jaw. Still holding the large, broken teeth in her hands, the
young lady slowly turned toward the dumbfounded duo, silent tears rushing down Daniel's cheeks at the sight of her.
"Hey guys! I'm sorry that I'm late!" Aya exclaimed with a smile and a wink.
