~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 4: Jungle of the Ancients ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Camera zooms out to an Ancient Jungle which appears to be undisturbed by time. An older hunter, disheveled and with an Australian accent steps out in the cold light of day to catch a glimpse of the sun. His assistant begins to enter the clearing they have located and brings his brass-red revolver gun./
/Where they are presently located, isn't exactly revealed. Yet it is quite obvious at this point they are somewhere within the vicinity of the older desert basin, on the outskirts of Isla Sorna. And for some reason, they are there in broad daylight on this Island. Seeking an answer to a mystery that neither of them are truly prepared for. The older hunter brings out his larger hunting rifle and stands in the clearing with his grizzled, almost reddish blonde hair. They begin to line up their gun sights on an unknown pair of Velociraptors 80 meters to their North. It is a familiar face, none other than Robert Muldoon./
Robert Muldoon: "Bloody hell, I never knew they would look like this Diego…It's like they are staring right at us even though we've never met before. Do you have any idea how they got this far out on the island to begin with?"
Diego: "No esse, I don't know….I could hardly believe they created Jurassic World though either, hermano. Then when the Island here blew up, Isla Sorna I guess they call it…I'm amazed we even got over here given all those explosions and the volcano…"
Robert Muldoon: "That's true, Diego….I neva expected we'd see this place again. But when Roland met me in that clearing near the outskirts of Kenya, telling me the sort of Quarry he was after I sure couldn't refuse…..I figured the dinosaurs would all be dead though…Figured anything worthy, it'd be on the very outskirts of the Island and some distance away from any type of animals and all that rubbish.."
/Muldoon began to speak, as he stamped out the tip of his cigar./
Robert Muldoon: "It looks like there was plenty to see still on Isla Sorna, unbeknownst to us. Boy, do I hate being right all the time though…"
Diego: "You are thinking of….leading those things towards us, Amigo?"
Robert Muldoon: "I don't know yet…..It may be the only way.."
/Muldoon quietly squints as the Velociraptors enters the clearing. Behind them, is that large older structure Roland said he heard rumors about. It appears to be Mayan, or maybe Incan in origin. In any case the only way to find out those answers, and find out whether what Grant told the papers in San Rafel is true or not….is to get rid of those Raptors and lure them into a trap. Problem is, there is 5 of those hybrid looking velociraptors and only 2 of them as humans. Those aren't great odds, but they never are in the case of anything Robert deals with. So he motions for his partner to begin moving into the clearing, and start to load up the Bola Snare explosive ammo./
Tygris Velociraptor: "RRAWWRRR! SNnAAAAAAAAAARL….GRAAAWWRRRR!" ((The Velociraptor suddenly circles around where Diego is from the back, and leaps out of the Grass, nearly ripping his leg entirely off in the process. A second Velociraptor leaps out to attack Diego and is shot by four Bola Snares that explode, killing both raptors.))
Tygris Velociraptor Pack Leader: "CRAAWWWW CRRWWWW RRAAWWWWRRR"
/The third Velociraptor, also the pack leader calls the other 2 to its side to attack both Diego and Muldoon. Before it can though, Muldoon loads a rocket projectile 4 yards away and shoots it off impaling the pack leader and causing it to stumble and fall back down the hill. The other 2 are shot with two large spraying rounds of machine gun fire, as Diego mows them down. The 4th raptor leaps out of nowhere and gnashes his teeth along Muldoon's left leg, tearing it open and wounding him a fair bit. As it keeps on biting him, Diego then loads up a fourth rocket and shoots into the Raptor's stomach as it explodes./
Tygris Velociraptor: "RAAWWRRRRG GRRAWWWRR!" *BOOM* /Velociraptor explodes across the whole field sending parts flying everywhere/
Diego: "Now Robert, run….Run towards the ruins! The Dinosaurs can't see us anymore….Plus thanks to that Volcano a week or so ago, most of the Dinosaurs are either dead or out of commission I hear…"
Robert Muldoon: ((He grasps his bandaged leg and keeps moving)) "Good, Diego….But don't count on things always being that way….We got very lucky this time. Let's enter that Incan temple, and see if what Roland was talking about is real…"
/Muldoon as well as his hunter partner Diego then enter the ancient Incan temple structure. On the wall, are clear cut writings detailing a mural of a Dinosaur eating many people. Making it obvious to an extent, that what they are seeing here is an exhibit of an ancient Dinosaur sacrifice. And this temple, this Temple of the Ancients, is a place where the Dinosaurs sacrificed humans by eating them whole. Even after many decades, this structure was still there. And on the top of some of the Obelisk like coffins inside were the words "InGen."/
/Diego and Muldoon began opening each of those coffins, hunting for supplies and water. Most importantly, Muldoon was looking for DNA….blood belonging to Dinosaurs or eggs. Yet so far, nothing of interest turned up. Until they came to a single sarcophagus and slowly slid the lid off the top. As they opened it, inside there was an ancient golden embryo that was glowing blue. It was clear as day it had to be something that dealt with the Dinosaurs, yet before they could grab it a voice began./
A.I. VOICE: "STOP, INTRUDER ALERT. ENTER THE PASSWORD TO AUTHENTICATE THE SYSTEM. DOCTOR WU HAS MADE A PERSONAL REQUEST. RAY ARNOLD, HOW ARE YOU? WHAT IS THE SQUARE ROOT TO JURASSIC PARK? ENTER THE PASSWORD TO RETRIEVE THE SPECIMEN."
Robert Muldoon: "Bloody hell, what is this? I haven't the faintest clue. Do you have any of those original scrolls Diego….There must be some type of password which deactivates this."
Diego: "All I know hermano, is there is some strange symbols on this tablet you dug up in Kenya. This could have something to do with it, see those symbols? Those symbols look like the ones on that embryo….Maybe you have to match them to the coordinates?"
Muldoon: "I see it….Yah….The symbols and letters shown on the ceiling are giving us the answer. If I match those to the symbols on the tablet, it seems to form a word. The letters are obvious, you have T….H….E…..O….Going by the position being in the form of a T, H, E and O there on the ceiling. And then I can see they worshiped the Rosicrucians, so that makes R…..And Y, would be the symbol for Yield. So the password is THEORY…It translates to CHAOS THEORY. Type that in there, Diego!"
/Diego types in the password and it instantly unlocks the device./
A.I. VOICE: "THANK YOU DR. WU AND DR. ARNOLD. HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY RAY ARNOLD? ACCESS HAS BEEN GRANTED. PLEASE RETRIEVE THE SPECIMEN, AND ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR VISIT."
/Muldoon picks up the gold glowing blue embryo and begins to exit the ruins./
Robert Muldoon: "This is it, Diego…This is what we came for. Now let's get out of this cursed Island as quick as we possibly can."
Diego: "I think that's a good idea, Hermano…Let's go.."
A.I. VOICE: "NEGATIVE…NEGATIVE. UNKNOWN PARTICIPANT IS TAKING THE SPECIMEN OUT OF OUR CONTAINMENT FIELD. ACTIVATING DEFENSE CONTINGENCY PLANS ZERO-FIVE-THREE-NINE. I APOLOGIZE DR. ARNOLD, I CANNOT ALLOW THAT. THIS ENTIRE AREA WILL SOON BE SWALLOWED BY THE EARTH."
/Suddenly the entire area shakes in a massive earthquake, as the ruins begin collapsing around them. Muldoon and Diego run as fast as they can out of the main entrance, as everything begins to fall all across the area. A large Dinosaur that appears to be Allosaurus of some type runs out of there as well, trying to avoid the massive pieces of jagged earth. The entire valley begins to cave in, as Diego and Robert Muldoon race as fast as they can from the desert back to the outpost near where their Boat is docked on the land. They run past a massive nest of Pteranadons, moving as fast as they possibly can to get out the way of the debris. As they run, flocks of smaller Dinosaurs are also fighting to escape./
Robert Muldoon: "There is the Boat, diego…Climb up the perimeter of the outpost and board the Boat! We need to get the hell out of here! Hurry up!"
Diego: "I'm moving as fast as I can, esse!" ((Diego screams as the entire area begins to collapse into the earth. Diego also loses part of his foot which gets massacred by the earthquake, as the two hunters leap from the back of a cliff to climb into the Boat where they barely escape by the skin of their teeth.))
/As the 2 hunters look backward, suddenly that entire portion of Isla Sorna begins to sink into the earth and disappear. The whole time they are watching, many Dinosaurs are fleeing for cover. They look on as they board the Boat and quietly exit the area….further waving goodbye as they begin to leave./
Robert Muldoon: "Guess that's one thing, they won't be bringing on their Dinosaur tour." ((Robert chuckles, as Diego stares at him))
Diego: "You can say that again, hermano….I hope Roland and the rest know what to do…You can say that again…..I'd settle for a hot jacuzzi now and a margarita…I want nothing to do with these Islands.."
Robert Muldoon: "Wish it were that simple, Diego…..But now we know based on what we saw in that temple….There's another Island too…They call it Site C….Bloody hell, I just hope I don't return 'ere."
*The camera zooms out of Isla Sorna and the rest of that area, especially the clearing where they fought the velociraptors. Meanwhile, more than three hundred miles away on a different Island…..the forbidden Island….Something quite sinister is being discovered. A secret once long thought to be buried, was about to be unearthed by Dr. Ian Malcolm. And with them, the biggest problems of our time./
On the other side of the Archipelago, near Site C….Also known as the Isle of the Dead….Dr. Malcolm stands on a hill side, searching the area with his eyes. The camera zooms in on Isla Muerte, also commonly called Death Island…..The Isle of the Muerte.*
Ian Malcolm: "Well, I guess I better start hunting for a way out of here. There's a lot of territory to cover before dark."
/Malcolm begins to trudge down the winding trail. He hears hooting in the midnight air, but passes it off as just being large groundhogs or lizards. Yet soon the hooting begins to get much louder. The pitch also increases, as Malcolm runs down the trail seemingly not seeing anything there. He is speechless. Malcolm looks ahead and he notices a large forgotten Incan temple of sorts. He begins to wonder, if perhaps Arby or Kelly went inside there and entered one of these buildings. What became of them? Were they even alive? It was in his best interest now to find out, as the hooting grows louder./
Ian Malcolm: "There's something out there…..I can hear it. I told Kelly and Arby to stay put. I wonder what in the blazes that terrible sound is…Could it be one of those…..those monsters that killed Nedry?"
Enzor Dilophosaurus: "RAAWWWWR! HIISSSSSSSS *SPIT*"
/Suddenly out of nowhere, the 2 creatures which appear to be the Dilophosaurus pop out of a tree. They are gliding, seemingly floating from tree to tree. They had followed Malcolm and began trying to take off his whole arm. Malcolm instantly grabs his signal flare and plows the entire mechanism in the Dilophosaurus' mouth, making it instantly explode. He then hears a horrible sound…which sounds eerily like the roar of the Carnotaurus. And as a result, he makes a break for it into the clearing…running directly into the ruins where he grabs a large oily torch. He lights it on fire and stares deep inside./
Ian Malcolm: "What in the hell is this…..Wow…" ((Malcolm looks on with grave concern, as he sees a cavern that seems to keep going. It is the inside of an Incan structure….that is older than time. And inside, there appears to be computers of some kind. Malcolm runs through the corridor to the other side, trying to find an entrance to get deeper in the Ruins. He knows something horrible awaits, yet he is ready for it now.))
/Malcolm enters suddenly an Ancient Jungle…..A jungle older than time itself. As an older computer begins to play back a very creepy message, which startles and amazes him at the same time./
/A recording begins. John Hammond's Voice: "When I was little I dreamed of a time when the entire world was covered by an ancient first-growth forest. Great hunters stalked in the cool darkness, among silent, huge columnar trees – oaks and sequoias. In school they showed me a picture of a swamp, with giant lizards fighting. They said, "This was the way the world was, long ago." They saw the first mornings of the world, and lived through the closing of the first great age.
A few days after the landing, Robert and I hiked South through the jungle. Over the years, the summer rain had carved deep channels in the volcanic rock. The gorge was shadowed even at midday."/
Ian Malcolm: "You did it alright, you crazy sonofabtch you did it…That is Hammond's voice.."
/Malcolm stares at the giant Jungle trees and ancient conifer trees. He was clear he was in a Jungle, a place that time had long forgotten. He saw huge symbols, patterns and letters scribbled across the sides of the walls. They contained some type of code or something else. Perhaps it was also a way to enter the inner sanctum, he thought. As he kept on peering into this Jungle of the Ancients, he could tell there was something out there. He couldn't tell exactly what, yet before long it would be discovered that it was indeed a younger Dimetrodon. It perfectly blended with the trees he was exploring and got very close to where Malcolm stood hunting for food. In addition, there was clearly a Carnotaurus here somewhere beyond./
Malcolm: "You did it alright, Hammond….Unbelievable.." ((Malcolm stammers in frustration. He begins to move the symbols on the levers inside this jungle. He could tell, it was some kind of coded puzzle. As he puts the pieces in order, he realizes placing the Sun symbol first, followed by the Moon and then also the Star…was the easiest way to complete the puzzle. And as he does so, the Large Marble doors ninety kilometers ahead of him begin to creak open. They beckon Malcolm inside, to come in and explore.))
Malcolm: "I will find the answer, John….Even though you will never live to see it. I will see my kids, and from there solve this math problem once and for all."
/As Malcolm finishes his tirade, he quietly enters the older building. Inside appears to be a very large set of hallways, and ancient water corridors. There is something quite evil inside, yet for now all that matters is he must find Kelly. He has to find them, even if it is not straight forward. He stares at the walls and the ancient symbols, knowing that whatever lies ahead….he will face it head on./
/Meanwhile, the camera zooms in on the Incan ruins more than 10 miles away. Kelly and Arby are entering the main corridor where Steingarten is located, and shout at him. They ask him how he got here, as well as where he's going. Before anything can be responded to, there is a large crash.*
Steingarten: "I'm here on an assignment for Dodgson, you dam kids. What does it matter?"
Johan Tramare: "We don't talk about business, so drop the subject….We need to get out of here as fast as possible. Steingarten, load up the weapons."
Arby: "It looks like you guys are in a lot more trouble than you think. I mean, part of your arm was eaten right off. Don't you guys think those lizards will be back to kill us all..Maybe we should make a run for it."
Kelly: "He makes a pretty good point there….Look, two clicks north of this round basin is a water channel. If we get in there and start swimming out the pipes, we might be able to make it past that thing….that Carnotaurus without raising a bunch of alarms."
Steingarten: "I am not leaving without my trophy…And if that means I sacrifice my comrade to get it, I will do so. I need that Carnosaur's DNA no matter what…That is what I came for and it's what I'll get."
Johan: "We can't leave without that DNA….You're right as always. And what is that, what is that with the eyes stirring over there in the water?"
/Both hunters as well as Arby and Kelly dart their eyes over in the direction of the water. The water begins to stir, as clearly something horrible is down there. There's also the possibility of staying on land and having the zeno Carnotaurus chase them out of the caves, since that thing can travel on land too. So they consider taking the safer option of swimming…yet realize the true horrors of these ruins is likely going to be the demise of them all. They hear the dark shape that growls in the water…and they tense up…as they slowly start making their way around the perimeter of the water channel. Just as they are about to reach the exit though, suddenly a large…long…slender neck emerges from the water./
Xelius Plesiosaurus: "RRAAAAAAAAAAAWRR! GRAAAWWRRR…ROOOOOOOOARRR!"
Steingarten: "Oh GAWD NO…! Run!" /Kelly, Arby and Steingarten run out of the hall towards the south exit as fast as they can./ ((A blood curdling scream shoots out, as Johan is suddenly brought up in the air by the Plesiosaur's massive jaws. He begins to fight to get free, as Johan is then plunged into the depths of the eerie dark water. They were now in a large cylindrical chamber that is quite clearly a trap. And what's worse, they are there with one of the worst predators to ever grace the high seas….A real life plesiosaurus hybrid monster, created by the madness of Dr. Henry Wu. No different than the legend of the Kraken dragon that skulked about the ocean during the reign of Pirates. The same Plesiosaurus which Dodgson has been looking for DNA samples to complete Biosyn's collection. Yet unfortunately for them, this may be their tomb.))
