William Hoenicke: Actually, you know what? That's not a terrible idea. But for now and for all intents and purposes, Carla is this world's Dr. Curtis Connors. There is no other Connors, and this one is married to Mae.


Mae and Carla were still injured and resting off the wounds they received. Jeff cooed as he laid on Mae's lap as she subcautiously petted the creature.

"They're asleep," Sammy said. "The leaves we put over their wounds and Peter's webbing stopped the bleeding, but I don't know how long that's gonna last. We gotta do something."

"Ben says Kash has a phone." Yaz reminded them. "Let's get it, call for help, and get out of here."

"But what about the dinosaurs?" Darius asked, getting a few bad looks from everyone. "Now that Mae and Carla are injured, if we all leave, who's gonna protect them?"

"Darius, look at them. They need help." Yaz reminded him. "Our only choice is that phone."

Peter looked down at Carla, her arm missing, his anger fuming within him. "KILL! KASH!"

"Those leaves aren't exactly sterile." Ben agreed. "We're running out of time."

"Then I'll go and pry that phone from Kash myself," Peter said, marching off to do just that.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Brooklynn ran over to slow him down and put a hand on his chest. "Slow down there, T-1000. Did you forget that those BRADs have that sonic tech that hurts you?"

"I'll be fine," Peter stated, removing her hand and marching ahead.

Brooklynn ran over and grabbed his hand, causing him to flinch and almost attack. The motion caused everyone to freeze to see what would happen. Peter saw what he was doing and calmed down.

"I'll be fine, I promise," Peter said, this time growing in sorrow. "Carla's hurt because of me. That raptor ripped her arm off... because I wasn't fast enough."

Brooklynn sighed and saw he blamed himself. "Hey... it wasn't your fault." She tried to comfort him as she caressed his arm. "She's only alive because of you. Kash is going to pay. But it isn't worth going in head-on and risking getting captured."

Peter sighed and nodded, but then he sensed something coming and grabbed Brooklynn, shielding her by morphing the V252 around them. Everyone else heard the BRADs approaching and quickly hid behind some rocks in the area to stay hidden.

"New orders received." The robots rushed into the jungle.

Peter morphed the Symboite off of himself and sighed. "That was too close."

"One of them could be headed to Kash," Yaz said.

"You guys go," Ben said. "I think there was a first aid kit in the snow gliders. I'll get Mae patched up."

"Laura, go with him," Peter told his kinda-sister. "Keep him safe. Yaz, you and Brooklynn follow those BRADs while Darius, Sammy, and Kenji follow the other. I'll stay here with Carla and Mae."

"Got it," Darius agreed.

"You sure you will be alright?" Brooklynn asks.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," Peter nodded, looking over towards the other two. "They'll need someone to watch over them."

Brooklynn nodded but then looked back at him. "And you just happen to put me and Yaz together?"

Peter gave a small smirk. "No idea what you are talking about."

Brooklynn rolled her eyes and rushed with Yaz after a BRAD.


Brooklynn and Yaz rushed to follow the BRAD into the jungle, trying to chase it and not be spotted.

"Hey, Yaz. Are you okay?" Brooklynn wonders. "I mean, you know, with the nightmares-"

"I'm fine," Yaz said. "We've got bigger things to worry about than a few bad dreams."

"You know it's more than that," Brooklynn told her.

"Shh. It's getting too far ahead." Yaz said, wanting to put a hold on this for now.

They followed the BRAD to some sort of facility in the middle of the jungle. They watched the BRAD head inside and then rushed over to get inside before the doors closed. When they got inside, the doors

When she looked up, Yaz shrieked to see a BRAD staring at her. Brooklynn yanked Yaz back to hide behind some crates near the door.

"They're inactive," Brooklynn whispered.

They heard metallic footsteps, which got them to look up and see an active BRAD walking around. "Finally. Took you long enough."

"Kash?" Yaz recognized.


Ben and Laura made their way to the winter biodome. The sudden breeze and drop in temperature caused them to shudder. They noticed the vehicles and rushed over towards it. The temperature made it difficult to open, but Laura took over and yanked it with her adamantium skeleton.

"Show off," Ben said, climbing into the vehicle.

Laura was about to follow when she smelled something metallic in the air. She sneaked around the vehicle and found a BRAD scanning the area. Shearing her claws, she quickly stabbed the BRAD in the head.

Ben exited the vehicle with the supplies and was shocked to see the droid. "Whoa."

"I am really starting to hate robots." Laura snarled.


"Prepare the test space outside my compound," Kash tells the BRAD.

"Unable to connect to drone perimeter system."

"Retry connection protocol." Kash sighed.

"Unable to connect to drone perimeter system."

Kash grunts in anger. "Everything else…" he slammed something off the table. "...I'll do it myself."

Kash went to his computer and began to type, leaving his phone on the desktop. Brooklynn crawled over to try to take the phone, but it was far from the edge where she could reach.

"Ah!" Kash cried, causing Brooklynn to flinch back. "No connection either?" He then screamed, causing Brooklyn. To back off. "When I get a hold of those imbecile freelancers up my code, I am gonna…Oh, sweet. My earbud. Thought I lost it."

Kash then grabbed the phone and played loud music on it.


Peter was still watching over the scientists when Carla started to moan. She started to wake up, and Peter stayed back to let her react. He didn't really know how to comfort or help people after something like this, and just stayed back.

Carla reached up and tried to rub her head, but her arm didn't reach. She gasped as she seemed to begin to piece together what had happened. She then looked up and saw the stub where her arm used to be. Carla started to pant in terror and fear before crying in pain. She clutched her arm and cried in pain.

"Hey," Peter said as he walked over. "You okay? At least... physically?" He saw the look on her face. "I'm sorry. I don't know what to do."

Carla looked down at her stub of a hand and cried a little quieter. "Kash... I never would have guessed he would do something like this."

Peter nodded as he sat beside her. "I am sorry that I couldn't save your arm." He said in sorrow. "I tried to save you. But that raptor was so quick..."

Jeff gargled as he stumbled over and placed his head on her lap to try and comfort her. Carla chuckled as she reached down with her stub and began to try and pet the shark.

"This little guy is a good support animal," Carla tried to make light of what happened. She then looked over and saw Mae. "What about her?"

"A few bites and bruises," Peter sighed. "We're doing the best we can. But we need to get you guys off this island. Get some real medical treatment." He groaned as anger built up inside him. "And before we leave, I'm going to make sure that Kashpays for this..."

Ben and Laura made their way over to them with the supplies. "We've got it." He handed off one pack to Peter for Carla's arm. "Okay, Mae. Let's get you cleaned up."

Ben was about to get to work, but one slight touch, and Mae reacted by punching Ben in the face. Laura drew her claes on impulse but calmed when she saw Mae didn't mean any harm.

"Ben, you hurt me." Mae groaned in a weary voice.

Ben got off the ground and pointed to his face. "You hurt me."

"Sorry." Mae apologized. "Maybe it's safer if we stick with the leaves."

"We don't want you getting an infection," Ben said, opening his pack. "Luckily, antibacterial is my middle name."

"Really? My middle name's Enfys." Mae said. "It's Welsh for 'rainbow.'"

Peter and Ben seemed confused by that comment. "Okay. Let's just take care of these wounds." Ben said, beginning to grab supplies. "You're not gonna punch me again, are you?"

"No. I'm ready for it this time." Mae promises. But that was followed by another punch when Ben touched her. "Sorry."


Brooklyn and Yaz followed Kash off through the biodome until finally they reached the compound where he tried to kill Mae and Carla. They saw that Kashmwas surrounded by drones protecting him, as well as BRADs, followed by raptors trying to attack.

Yaz was starting to panic again as she saw the dinosaurs and tech defending him. "Brooklynn… I- I can't."

Brooklynn saw this was causing her to panic again. "Yeah, no." She agreed, trying to comfort her friend. "We're not taking on raptors, BRADs, and Kash alone." She said, almost like a joke, trying to lighten the mood. "Come on, let's go find the others."


Everyone came together, and they were told about what was going on.

"We found Kash…" Yaz told them. "In this creepy warehouse full of BRADs."

"I almost had the phone. But then…" Brooklynn sighed.

"He went back inside the compound." Yaz finished.

"The BRADs forced Big Eatie away from her daughter," Darius informed them what they saw. "They shocked her until she left with them."

"It was… hard to watch," Kenji admitted.

"Hasn't he hurt them enough?" Mae asked in anger.

"He wants to use her for some kind of test," Darius said.

They heard a dinosaur roar in the distance.

"That's Pierce." Mae easily recognized it, trying to get up.

"No, no, no. You need to rest." Darius tells her.

"But if Kash is hurting him like he did Big Eatie…" Mae whimpered.

"Don't worry. We'll go." Darius said.

"How is she?" Brooklynn asked Peter, looking at the resting Carla.

"I did all I could, but she lost a lot of blood," Peter sighed, reaching down and pulling the vial of AS-6 out of his pocket. "She won't survive."

"What's that?" Brooklynn asks.

"One of my dad's experiments. I recognized it from the booklet." Peter explained. "I remember it had regenerative properties. I found it in a drawer in the cave."

"They were the ones who made your dad do the experiments?" Brooklynn asked in shock.

I think they had a part to play in it," Peter said, clutching the vial. "We need to get her off the island. She needs actual help. If we don't..." he didn't want to think about it. "We dont know what this will do." He then placed the vial away. "But if we don't get off this island... I might not have a choice."


They reached the compound and were met with Pierce and Big Eatie being forced to come close together. They were fighting the drones, but they were constantly zapping the dinos.

"What is he doing with them?"

Darius managed to put it together. "He's gonna force them to fight. It adds up. Dosing the food, making them more aggressive, seeing how strong they are, Mae's research." The dinosaurs were starting to grow aggressive against one another. "He doesn't care how dinosaurs feel. He only wanted to know how they'd do in a fight."

"But Pierce is no match for Big Eatie," Brooklynn said. "He'll be slaughtered."

"Kill!" That voice... it was becoming tempting. "Kill Kash!"

"Guys, I know that phone is our only way off this island, but we have to-"

"Save them." Laura guessed.

"Yeah, we do." Sammy agreed.

"Wait, really?" Darius was surprised to see how easy it was. "I mean, I, I was gonna-"

"Give one of your classic 'save the dinos' speeches?" Peter asked sarcastically. "Come on, dude, we can solve both problems at once... once and for all."

"Kash must be controlling those drones from his compound." Brooklynn guessed. "If we can get in there, we can disable them and keep the dinos from hurting each other."

The fighting dinosaurs were beginning to cause Yaz to get another panic attack. "Yaz?" Peter got her attention. "You going to be okay?"

Yaz looked at the dinosaurs and nodded, taking a deep breath. "I'll be fine."

"We're close to getting home," Peter promised her. "I'll make sure of it."

"Sammy, you're with Ben," Darius said, making them realize they had missed the plan. "Once Kash leaves his compound…

"We'll trail him. Make sure he stays out." Brooklynn said, referring to herself and the others.

"Yaz, you, Peter, and I will get past the raptors, sneak into the compound, and get control of the drones.

"Let's do this." Yaz agreed.

Everyone scattered to do just that. Yaz and Peter went over towards the drone, and Peter watched as Yaz started to panic again. She heard the roaring, the screaming, and everything that was happening, and she just ended up crashing.

"Yaz!" Peter rushed over to her.

Brooklynn stopped when she saw her collapse and rushed over to her side.


Sammy, Laura, and Kenji made it to the doorway, where they had a clear line of sight. They were waiting for their moment to go in.

"Uh, when Kash comes out, how are we gonna keep him from going back inside?" Sammy wonders.

Laura hummed. "Hmm… I was kinda thinking we'd sacrifice you."

"Ha-ha," Sammy said playfully. "Very funny."

"Ah, come on. You know I'd never do that." Laura playfully nudged Sammy. "You're one of the only few people here I can stand."

"What about me?" Kenji asks.

Laura turned serious and looked to the doorway. "I meant what I said."

Yaz was still pulling herself together when Peter and Brooklynn came to her side. "I'm sorry, uh, I just… I'm fine."

"It's okay if you're still struggling," Brooklyn told her.

"She's right. These things aren't fixed overnight." Peter agreed with her.

"What things?" Darius asks

"Nothing, it's…" Yaz tried to stop.

"Yaz, you gotta tell him." Brooklyn Said.

"Tell me what?" Darius asks.

"I've been having these… nightmares," Yaz explained. "That I'm alone, being hunted." She then took a deep breath. "When I told the others and found out they've been having them, too, I… felt better. But I am, obviously, not as fine as I thought."

"Everyone's having nightmares?" Darius asks. "Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"It's not like that, Darius." Peter tried to assure him. "We only just learned about it after we stopped to save Pierce and…"

"Missed the plane home." Brooklynn sighed.

"And we didn't want you to feel bad because we all agreed… it was the right thing to do," Yaz said.

"Just like we're doing now." Peter nodded with a sigh.

Darius sighed. "New plan. How about you go with the others, and I'll take the compound solo?" Darius asks.

"Darius, are you sure?" Peter asks. "I mean, I can help-"

"I got this," Darius promises.

"Thanks, dono-nerd," Brooklynn said as she and Peter carried Yaz off.

Darius rushed for his opening and waited for things to begin. "Hurry up, guys. We gotta get Kash outta there."

Big Eatie and Pierce began to fight while Ben came in with the vehicle from the snow biodome, showing tanks of oxygen on the back. They remembered what that did back on Nublar and prepared to drive it.

"Guess it's not a Ben plan if it doesn't involve blowing something up." Peter scoffed with a chuckle.

"I like to play to my strengths," Ben said.

"You guys go, I've got a plan," Peter said, running off into the jungle.

"Let's show these janky toasters who's boss," Sammy said.

Yaz then drove them through the jungle, smashing into the BRADs and getting Kash's attention. That elevated when they drove directly into the facility housing them, setting it aflame.

Kash left the facility and marched out in anger, allowing them to get the chance to get in. Darkus was making his way inside when a raptor came up on him. He rushed towards the compound when Peter came flying in. He tackled the raptor to the ground, punching it in the face with a powerful strike.

"STAY DOWN!" Peter demanded the dinosaur. Then he looked over towards the drones holding Big Eatie and Pierce. "Now it's your turn!" He then leaped into the air, shooting out dozens of tendrils that latched onto the drones, slamming them into the ground, and then he began to pant in anger. "Anyone else?!"

That was when he got his answer in the form of a BRAD setting off an alarm, causing a sonic screech that caused Peter to scream. Other drones came and forced the dinosaurs back into confrontation.

Darius reached the control room and looked around. He gasped when he saw Peter in trouble, dozens of BRADs closing in on him. He looked up and saw the controls, and he tried to figure out how they worked.

"Okay, how do you work?" Darius asks.

Darius took a step back, trying to figure it out. "Good afternoon, Kash."

Darius then started to figure it out, moving his hands around to move the drones, making them move away from the dinosaurs. He tried to figure out how to control the BRADs, but it was getting difficult.

That was when he heard a BRAD coming and turned to see it enter, causing him to duck. "Resuming test formation."

The drones returned to formation, causing Darius to panic. When he ducked, he heard something followed by a scream. He looked and saw Laura impaling the BRAD carrying a phone.

"I hate these things!" Laura snarled. "Kash is on his way back. Kenji and Ben sent me to warn ya."

Darius was beginning to get worried. "Right." He looked out the window. "Peter needs you."

"On it," Laura said, rushing off to save him.

Darius looked down and saw the phone and reached for it.


Peter was screaming, clutching his head as the V252 was getting affected. Laura screamed as she rushed in, slicing the BRADs with her claws. She ripped one in half easily, followed by impaling one up the mechanical mouth. That was followed by her leaping into the air, using her talon to impale one in the head.

Peter groaned as he began to allow the V252 to stabilize. "Took you long enough!"

"Don't blame me!" Laura scoffed as Peter got up. "Blame your-" she then started to hear something, causing her to sniff the air. "Blood."

"What?" Peter asks.

"I smell blood," Laura said in fear. "Carla."

Peter quickly rushed ahead, shooting tendrils that he used to shoot himself into the air. Laura quickly rushed after him, trying to help him out.


Darius rushed over and grabbed the phone, wanting to try and save everyone. He needed to get help right away. He dialed the only number he knew off the top of his head.

"Hello?"

"Hello!?" Darius asked.

That was when the phone was taken, causing him to shriek, and they looked to see Kash.

"You are in a lot of trouble," Kash told him.


Peter crashed right outside where they kept Carla and Mae, running to see the wounds have opened up. Mae was trying to help, but she couldn't move due to her own injuries. Jeff was whimpering and backing off into a corner.

"Carla!" Mae called. "Carla, hold on!"

"Hang on!" Peter cried as he rushed over, seeing the wounds were too severe. "If she doesn't get help now, she might not make it."

"Well, what can we do?" Laura asks. "We can't get her help."

Peter panicked as he wondered what to do. He then reached down into his pocket, taking out the SM-6 formula. If she didn't get some sort of help, she could die. If he gave her this, there is no telling what would happen. He didn't know what mutation was inside of this syringe.

He did it.

He injected it into her shoulder, allowing the syringe to empty into her bloodstream. Carla immediately started to calm down, less frantically moving. She even started to calm down. Looking down at her arm, she saw that the stitches were healing frantically and dissolving like it never happened.

"Is she going to be okay?" Mae asks in worry.

"It looks like it... for now," Peter sighed. That was when he saw everyone else returning...without Darius. "Where's Darius?"

"Kash... has him," Yaz said in sorrow.

Peter felt a rush of anger and fear rushing through him once again. His eyes even befan to go black for a minute. "Kill..."


Down in Washington, a woman was rushing down the halls and entering the office of someone important. He was staring out the window and turned to reveal he had a goatee and an eyepatch over his left eye.

"Hill, what is it?" Fury asks.

"You asked us to keep an eye on Nublar for suspicious activity," Hill reminded him.

"And?" Fury asks.

"We've been getting something odd going off," Hill said, showing the data. "Someone is receiving messages and calls somewhere near the island."

Fury was confused by that as he looked over the data. "What the hell?"

"What do you think?" Hill wonders.

"Send a recon team to Nublar," Fury tells Hill. "See if they find anything. We'll act from there."

"Yes, sir," Hill complied, taking the tablet and walking to send off some Quinjets with agents to check out the island.


(A/N) Option 2 it is! You wanted to see a Spino/Symbiote fight!? You're getting a Spino/Symbiote fight!

Basically, future chapters until the finale will ignore things that Kash and Darius are doing, unless necessary to get the group involved, and we will just be spending our time with the group full time. Which means... we might finally get to see Brooklynn and Peter have that talk with Yaz!
