It was a dark night for the campers, they were surrounded by Kash's Brad-X's.
Kash walked up to them with a smug look on his face and claimed, "You're right, Boss, the dumb kid,didhave help."
Darius let out a loud gasp looking around for the boss, but he couldn't see anything around them.
All of a sudden the shadow of a tall, middle-aged man made its way towards the campers not yet revealing the man the shadow belonged to.
The shadow's owner spoke in a deep, confident voice, "You shouldn't leave important devices likethese, lying around."
Kenji released Brooklyn's hands and walked towards the shadow to gain a clearer look at him.
Once again, the shadow spoke, but as he did, he began walking out of the fog revealing his face, "They could fall into the wrong..." the man stopped in shock as he recognized Kenji.
Kenji looked back with surprise and replied, "Dad?"
The rest of the campers let out a loud, collective gasp, surprised at who the president of Mantah Corpreallywas.
"Wait,.. Dad? YourDadis the president of Mantah Corp?" Darius asked looking to Kenji then directing his attention to the man. "Why would you do such awful things to dinosaurs?"
"Son? Wha- what areyoudoing here? Who are these other kids? and Why are you helping them?" Daniel interrogated sounding exasperated.
"I don't have to say anything. The real question, Dad, is Why and how areyouthe president of Mantah Corp?" Kenji angrily lashed out in question.
"Uh,... Boss, What are we gonna do with them? They've seen too much and, therefore, are the reason your plans failed," Kash brought Daniel's attention from his son, to the business's situation.
All of a sudden, they all heard Dilophosaurus screeches, coming from less than a mile away. After a few moments, the Dilophosaurus's let out another loud screech, but that was the least of their problems.
A millions questions baffled in Darius's mind, How come the Dilophosaurus's were running? What were they afraid of? Why and When did Kenji's dad become president of Mantah Corp? How long had he been doing this?
Another loud screech came as they witnessed an upcoming Dilophosaurus stampeding racing toward them.
Brooklyn gasped and clung to Kenji's arm. A loud screech let out by the Dilophosaurus's was sounded once-more, but was followed by loud noises of electric shots.
Suddenly out of the trees came a brokenBrad,that was blasting out electric shots everywhere. The six campers took cover ducking underneath the vehicle. Kash grabbed his boss and had them both take cover. The Brad X's started shooting at the uncontrollable Brad. Even in all the cross fire, the campers heard slight ruffling of leaves and short trees as if someone was walking through them toward the chaotic enviroment, after all, the time they spent on Isla Nublar their senses had to be sensitive when surrounded by carnivorous dinosaures. They had to heighten their senses for quick-ahead-of-time escapes, even if, there was a lot of noise going on at once.
The person approached the vehicle getting closer and closer, they were hiding behind and under, and looked underneath the vehicle finding the six of them. The campers panicked and screamed, as the person shushed them and began to speak to them, "Come with me, if you want to live," it was a teenage boy around their age.
The campers were unsure if they could trust this boy, but they relatively didn't have much a choice, unless they wanted to be kidnapped by the head of Mantah Corp. Who knew what Mantah Corp would do to them.
"Come on, guys," Darius ordered taking charge.
"How do we know, we can trust him?" Yaz questioned as they began following the teenager.
"We don't really have a choice," Darius answered in pants from the running they were all doing.
The campers followed the kid through the forest paddock, until they came to the exit. Ben walked up to the keypad and swiped his finger across the screen opening the lock, as they ran out of the building and back into the forest clearing, where they usually stayed.
The campers stopped and sat down trying to catch their breath.
"So, whatever your name is, what convinced you, so much, to help us?" Brooklyn interrogated distrustfully.
The boy responded, "My name is Ethan, I was on Isla Nublar for about six months. I was a little late. I wassupposedto head to Camp Cretaceous, but my parents cancelled my Camp Cretaceous experience, and had me go with them for the actual Jurassic World park. Then, I heard on a radio about anassetout of containment. I was actually chased by another asset ofJurassic World,then I was chased by a Carnotaurus. I'm sure,thenafter the asset was gone,.. or contained, I began being hunted by the T-Rex. Then,.. I heard gunshots. I saw my parents get taken by pterodactyls and get split in half. Well,. my recent adventure was a dinosaur called E750, a.k.a the Scorpious Rex. I looked at its file onstupidWu's computer, of course, then I heard strange noises, and ended up dropping the computer on the floor, accidentally leaving it there. I never went back there again. I recently found my dad's toolbox and used the crate material for a boat. I came to some weird lookout point for a sail, of course, that was before the E7-50 attack. Luckily it only attacked me a few times. So I took my boat and sailed away from the island, but a storm hit, and I ended up washed up here. So I've been here for a few weeks, or so. I've heard alot of strange noises on this island. Then, I saw Darius and Kenji here headed into the Dilophosaurus paddock and followed them." he stopped his explanation to study their faces and then added, "I know, what you're thinking,.. How does he knowournames?... I heard their conversations so, there's your answer to that question, anything else?" Ethan explained.
"Wow! I thought we were alone here and on Isla Nublar," Darius commented with a sigh of relief.
"Well, we better keep moving. The last thing we want is, them catching up," Ethan informed.
"This is kind of where we stay, so we, kind of, know we're safe here," Sammy warned.
"Okay, if you're sure," Ethan whispered shrugging.
"What do we do about our Brad-X? He was hacked, somehow," Yaz wondered.
"I could redesign his programming and fix him, to where he's un-hackable," Ethan suggested confidently.
"You can do that?" Kenji asked clearly amazed by Ethan's proclamation and already trusting him.
"Yeah, of course, I can just reprogram the robots programming, to where it'll be like it's own person,.. robot. That way, it can just think for itself, anyone who can design a mini, moving car could do it. Easy-peasy," Ethan explained.
"And You're sure, that won't back fire?" Ben questioned.
"Not unless, you go overboard," Ethan replied.
"Well, then can you do that?" Darius ordered.
"Aye, aye, Captain Darius," Ethan answered sarcastically giving a mock salute. He walked over to the Brad-X and began messing with his wires.
"I don't know, guys, I don't think we can trust him," Brooklyn notified.
"Brooklyn, I don't know. His story, about the laptop on the floor,doescheck out. I mean, we did find the laptop exactly the way he described," Darius responded.
"Hey! Next time you say, you don't trust somebody, pull your people aside. I can literally hear every word you say," Ethan apprised in slight shouts and slightly annoyed.
Kenji stood up and walked to Ethan. He sat down again and watched.
"So how do you know so much about tech?" Kenji inquired curiously.
"Well, I'm kind of a techie. So, what's up with, uh,.. dear-old daddy? Why did he turn to Mantah Corp?" Ethan brought up in curiosity.
Kenji sighed, "I don't know why. I'm not even sure, how long he has been lying to me, and if there's anything else he's hiding," Kenji replied.
"Hm, It seems you and uh,.. pinkie,likeeach other, if you ask me, chocolate chip and pinkie are kinda cute, but,.. meh,. you do you," Ethan said nonchalantly.
