EPISODE 3: THE CATTLE DRIVE

 The campers were all gathered around the campfire later that night, Darius was telling a scary story about a tyrannosaurus rex but Arthur interrupts by saying T. rex wasn’t that scary then listed off that its too big, makes a lot of noise and the park’s version of the T. rex’s vision is based on movement. Betsy adds that the velociraptor was far scarier since it's roughly the same size as a human and it’s quieter. Arthur then adds that the troodon was also a scary dinosaur because it was also surprisingly intelligent. A loud thunderous roar could be heard from above as water droplets came falling out of the sky. Darius gave up telling the story as everyone ran back to the elevator.

The following day, the counselors arrive at the base of the tree-top cabins. They honked their jeep horns to wake the campers. The campers gather at the camp circle a little groggy from staying up late last night. Dave motivates the kids to saddle up as they head off to the Gyrosphere Valley. The jeep traverses the tropical jungle only for it to be replaced later with open grasslands. There they saw in the distance people in large lines gathering around the station containing large glass spherical vehicles. They spotted several gyrospheres had already departed the station as they traversed the grassland. The Jeep drives up to the Gyrosphere station. Dave and Roxie take turns explaining that part of the Camp Cretaceous experience is to “Cattle Drive” the dinosaur herd to fresh grazing grounds. The two counselors disembark from the jeeps as they head to embark on a Mercedes-Benz G 63 6x6.

“Wow, cool! Gyrospheres!” Darius was barely able to contain his excitement.

“I don’t know… I don’t know how to drive… and what if one of the dinosaurs attacked the vehicle?” Ben asked nervously.

“I’m glad you ask” said Dave, he sticks his head out the door window of the car, “the gyrosphere is made up of reinforced glass, made with stand even an anklyosaur’s club tail. Heck it can even stop a bullet, so the gyrosphere is probably the safest place you can be in the entire park. Okay kids, time to pair up”

“I want to ride with Yaz” Sammy cheerfully volunteers.

“Okay, Sammy and Yaz,” Dave listed.

“Do I need a partner,” Darius asked, “I want to drive solo”

“Sorry, Darius but you need a partner. Those are the rules” Dave added. He looks at the list, “Darius, you are paired with Brooklynn”

“A boy!” Brooklynn cried.

“Fine, who do you want to be paired with instead?” Roxie climbed over Dave’s lap.

Brooklyn looked past Darius, she saw Kenji; she made a nauseated expression. She looked over at Ben, she rolled her eyes while shaking her head. She then spotted Arthur, she shook her head. Then she saw Betsy, the two locked eyes onto each other. Brooklyn glares at her, Betsy exchanges the glare back. Brooklyn turns her attention back to Darius, she points at the boy, “I’ll ride with him” she gives a defeated expression.

“Great, Darius and Brooklynn” Dave jots it down in his list.

“Kenji and… Ben” Dave announces

“Wait what?” Kenji asked.

“Great, now that just leaves…” Dave looks at his list.

“Betsy and Arthur” Roxie finishes.

Betsy looks over at Arthur, he does the same to her. Arthur blushes after gazing into her yellow eyes. She blushes as well. The two enter the Gyrosphere and quickly fasten their seat belts, Arthur and Betsy both attempt to grab the throttle, causing both to blush before Betsy lays her hand on Arthur's hand as they both drive their Gyrosphere together. I think this girl likes me, I better not screw this up and act all nerdy, be chill, his thoughts race in his head.

“Okay, let’s start this Cattle Drive… but with dinosaurs. Sorry that sounded stupid, let me start over again, let’s herd some dinosaurs!” Dave announces.

The gyrospheres began to roll off alongside the counselor's car except for Ben who accidentally put his gyrosphere in reverse before correcting it to go forward. Gradually the gyrospheres began taking the lead as they approached a herd of sinoceratops. The ceratopsids look up from their browsing as they spot the gyrospheres. Instinctually the sinoceratops began moving away from the spheres.

“Woah! Hey Brooklynn, isn’t this exciting?” Darius asked, “Brooklynn?” he glances over at her staring at her phone, “I’m amazed how much time you waste staring at your phone” Darius goads her into replying. 

“Err what do you want?” Brooklyn snapped.

“I was wondering why you stare at that thing all day?” Darius may have sounded a little angry but he was happy inside. 

“I’m sorry but you don’t seem to understand the pressure it is being a popular social media star?” Brooklynn replied.

Meanwhile Sammy was excited at the prospect of being able to see the sinoceratops up close. The chip in the sinoceratop’s hide signals them to avoid colliding into the gyrospheres as they continue down the valley. Sammy attempts to make conversation with Yaz, but Yaz replies with a sharp swipe of the gyrosphere to shut the farm girl up. A thunderous roar was heard above, damn thunderstorms thought Betsy. She and Arthur were still holding each other’s hands on the gyrosphere throttle.

Roxie’s voice blares over the gyrosphere onboard speakers, “Alright campers we are cutting the tour short, there is a massive thunderstorm sweeping in from the north. Please head back to the station and depart from the gyrospheres. The thunder grew louder, the sinoceratops began to become disorganized as their herd scattered when winds were picking up. The matriarch sinoceratops groaned to her herd to stay together but the mercedes-benz's headlights were agitating her eyesight. Stress and panic setted in, the matriarch sinoceratops unleashed a loud roar before charging into the counselor's vehicle knocking it over.

Darius shook Brooklynn’s shoulder as he pointed to the counselor's vehicle. The matriarch sinoceratops growls at the mercedes-benz ready to charge into it once more however a gyrosphere was now blocking her path. The chip in her spine prevented her from attacking the gyrosphere.

“Okay, let’s herd these sinoceratops to those fresh grazelands. It would look good on your vlog” Darius suggested to Brooklynn.

“Fine,” Brooklynn sighs.

The gyrosphere begins to move forward into the matriarch who then turns around to regroup with her scattered herd. Darius tells the others of his plan. One by one the gyrospheres come together as the scattered herd slowly reunites into a single sinoceratops herd. Soon the sinoceratops herd merges with a traveling herd of parasaurolophus, stegosauruses and a few ankylosauruses. Roxie and Dave watch on from afar how the kids managed to regroup the scattered herds. 

An agitated ankylosaurus smacks its tail club into Darius and Brooklynn’s gyrosphere, spinning it out of control before bouncing off of another ankylosaurus. The gyrosphere slowly begins to crack as it collides into another ankylosaurus’s tail club. The rain began to pick up obscuring their visibility. Sammy and Yaz’s gyrosphere accidentally collides into Darius/Brooklynn’s gyrosphere before bouncing off each other. Kenji took control of his gyrosphere after Ben started having a panic attack as they lost visibility in the storm.

They are greeted by Betsy and Arthur’s Gyrosphere. The two gyrospheres found themselves at the mercy of a charging herd of triceratopses and pentaceratopses. The two gyrospheres managed to make a detour where they rendezvous with the other two gyrospheres. The continuous rain water caused the four gyrospheres to slip and skid in the mud to where they lost control and slid off a cliff into the deep forest below. With the gyrospheres damaged beyond repair, the campers disembark from their wrecked vehicles. Betsy and Sammy went out looking for help when they stumbled upon a styracosaurus, the creature snorted loudly as it prepared to charge towards the two campers.

“Don’t worry I got this,” said Sammy as she tried to calm the styracosaurus using what she learned on her family’s farm while holding a tree branch, “I’ve done this with the animals on my pa’s farm” The styracosaurus was certainly no farm animal, Betsy thought, she gritted her teeth as the heavy set girl approached the styracosaurus. The styracosaurus sees the farm girl as a threat as it groans furiously, it begins sweeping its feet across the ground ready to gore the farm girl with its nose horn. Betsy bolts towards Sammy. The styracosaurus has closed the gap between it and Sammy. Its horn lowered, ready to impale. Betsy leaps out to push Sammy out of its path. The styracosaurus snaps its beak at Betsy but misses her foot…barely. Betsy lands on Sammy while shoving the heavy set girl out of the way. The styracosaurus turns around ready for another go. Betsy quickly helps Sammy to her feet.

“We have to run!” Betsy ordered, “These aren’t farm animals, these are wild animals and they’ll kill us if they feel threatened”

“But…” Sammy tries to argue

“Believe me, I grew up doing deep wilderness camping. Me and my father had our share of encounters with the local wildlife” Besty reminisces the time where she had a deadly encounter with a wild hog during her camping trip in Louisiana. The two take off running as the styracosaurus slowly gains on them. Sammy tries to look back, “Don’t look back, keep your eyes forward, concentrate on run…” Betsy’s eyes widened as Sinoceratops cut off their path, “...ing” The sinoceratops grunts before groaning at the two girls, it snorts at them preparing to charge, the styracosaurus catches up to them. Betsy and Sammy leap out of the way believing the two ceratopsids would crash into each other. Instead the styracosaurus fled from the much bigger sinoceratops. Sammy quickly stands up to help Betsy on her feet.

The two girls slowly retreat into the thicket. The angry moans and groans of the ceratopsids slowly faded behind them. Darius, Kenji, Yasmina, Brooklyn, Ben and Arthur were put on edge from the sounds of twigs snapping. Only to see that Sammy and Betsy slowly made their way back to the broken gyrospheres. The teenagers use their broken gyrosphere shells as makeshift shelters when the rains increase in strength. The lightning intensifies as it leaves behind a thunderous roar. Two lights shine through the darkness of night, it was an ACU (Asset Containment Unit) truck. Katashi Hamada and his team disembark from the truck searching for the lost kids only to find them huddled in their broken gyrospheres. One of the ACU members walked up to the campers, he was a tall guy with short spiky hair. He smiled as he gestured to the teenagers to come out from the gyrospheres, behind him were Dave and Roxie. They slowly escorted the teenagers to the truck before departing back to Camp Cretaceous.

Late in the night as Betsy heads off to bed, Brooklynn pulls a laptop out from underneath her bed. She opens it, she looks over her shoulder to make sure her roommate is asleep before turning the device on, the laptop boots up then goes through its system loading screen before displaying a BioSyn logo and login screen. Brooklynn logs in her credentials. She slips in the USB stick into the USB port to upload all the information she downloaded from the Hammond Creation lab’s computers. Betsy groans in her sleep, which makes Brooklynn nervous as she hits cancel on the transfer, she quickly pulls out the USB stick and hides it in her pocket before heading off to bed.

EPISODE 2: SECRETS

“No!” Arthur screamed. Blue lunges at Betsy but suddenly backs away. Betsy looks up to see a man standing in front of her, he clicks his clicker to get the raptor’s attention. He held his hands up to keep the Raptor’s attention away from the girl.

The man looked down at Betsy, “Slowly, head for the gate” he whispers to her. She nodded as she crawled back to the gate with her friends. Blue nips at Delta for walking out of line. The man slowly backs away into the gate. Delta nips at Blue out of impatience. Blue breaks her attention from the humans as she returns a harsher bite back to her subordinate. Echo and Charlie turned their attention to their fighting pack mates. Barry slowly walks from behind Arthur. Arthur is startled for a moment. Barry presses the button to close the gate. He then tosses a lumps of meat into the raptor pen, distracting the four velociraptors. Blue snarls at her sisters as she reasserts herself as their beta. The man and Betsy quickly rolled themselves underneath the closing gate while the raptors were distracted.

Betsy looked up at her rescuer, “Ummm who are you?” she asked.

“The name’s Owen Grady, you kids shouldn’t be out, it's dangerous” he scolded. His expression softened, “Pretty badass, huh?” he asked her.

“Yeah,” Betsy smiled.

Roxie and Dave come scrambling to the raptor paddock, the two counselors stop short at the mouth of the primary gate while catching their breath. Betsy saw Brooklynn standing next to them urging them to the others.

The five campers are returned to Camp Cretaceous, Roxie and Dave both lecture Betsy, Kenji, Arthur, and Darius for breaking the rules while Brooklynn crosses her arms as if she ratted them out. Betsy grows increasingly annoyed with Brooklynn’s smug expression.. She’ll get her back for unleashing the Raptors on her and the boys. 

“It was my fault,” Betsy tells the counselors, “I wanted to see the dinosaurs up close so I goaded the boys into following me”

Roxie stares at Betsy Cinders suspiciously, “That doesn’t match with Ms Brooklynn’s account,”

“Well maybe, Brooklynn was lying!” Betsy exchanged a brief glare at Brooklynn.

Dave’s eyes widened while Roxie frowned at Betsy’s sudden outburst. The counselors decided that their punishment for tomorrow morning was to clean up some dinosaur dung while they visit the Hammond Creation Labs. Once back at the Cabins, Betsy lands a smack across Brooklynn’s face. Betsy glared at Brooklynn before shoving her phone into Brooklynn’s stomach, “Here’s your phone” she said.

Brooklynn holds her face where Betsy slapped, “Hey you're the one who dropped it, I should be the one mad at you. Also I bet you and those boys will be expelled from Camp Cretaceous by tomorrow” she said smugly. 

Betsy lets out a sharp sigh, “No, thanks to you internet princess; I have to shovel up dinosaur poop with the boys tomorrow” she lays on her bed. She stared up at the ceiling, remembering having to spend time in a foster home. She slowly fell asleep after Brooklynn decided to end her vlog, after complaining about her first day at Camp Cretaceous while making frequent unflattering mentionings of her cabin mate.

The next morning, Brooklynn stood over Betsy watching her sleep. “This is my evil roommate, she is sleeping,” she films the sleeping Betsy with her phone, “I guess she is not that bad since she risked her life to return my phone to me” Betsy slowly opened her eyes to see the internet influencer hovering over with her phone in Betsy’s face. She unleashes a loud yawn before rubbing the crust off her eyelids. She stretches her limbs to their fullest extent.

“Please get your phone out of my face,” Betsy pleaded.

“Ugh, she might as well be a boy,” Brooklynn hops off of Betsy’s bed. “Today, my roommate’s punishment for last night's curfew violation is scooping up dinosaur poop…and she is late,” Brooklynn smiled.

Betsy quickly throws the blanket off herself as she scurries over to the bathroom. She discards her clothes as she enters the shower, “Ahhh,” the water was freezing cold at first before it gradually warmed up. Brooklynn warns her not to take too long in the shower. Betsy squints her eyes in Brooklynn’s direction before turning the shower faucet off. Betsy quickly dries herself off before slipping into some clean clothes before racing off to put her socks and shoes on. Brooklynn smiles as she continues to film her roommate, while making snide comments.

Betsy takes a deep breath before pushing open the cabin front door, the hot and humid Isla Nublar air collided against her body. 

“Betsy Cinders,” Dave called out to her when she arrived, “You’re late”

“I’m sorry, I overslept” she yawns, she glances at her fellow campers. She sees Darius, Kenji and Arthur but not Brooklynn, “Hey why isn’t Brooklynn here?” she asked Dave.

“Brooklynn didn’t leave the premises last night” Dave reminded her.

Betsy frowned, she looked away from Dave. Brooklynn, she muttered under her breath. Dave awkwardly just slips past her. Betsy glanced back at the counselors as they departed with the other campers on one of the blue Jurassic World jeeps. Brooklynn holding her phone out to film the sour expression on Betsy's face, Brooklynn then winks at Betsy before slowly vanishing from Betsy’s sight.

“Kenji, you moron. If you didn’t take Brooklynn’s phone, we wouldn’t be in this mess having to clean up dinosaur poop” Darius shouted.

“Hey If I’m a moron, you're the moron for listening to me. Besides it was Betsy that dropped the phone in the freaking Raptor cage,” Kenji glares at Betsy.

“It was on accident,” Betsy looked for an excuse, “Her sweaty palms made her phone slippery”

 “Likely story” Kenji didn’t buy her excuse.

“Hey don’t be too hard on her, It could have easily been you” Arthur made a retort while scooping up some dung with his shovel.

“Okay, I was pretending to drop it but I accidentally allowed it to slip completely out of my hand,'' Betsy sighed in defeat. She looked up to see the boy’s reaction was mixed with shock and disapproval. Betsy averted her eyes. 

The four 15-year old kids continue to shovel up the random bits of dinosaur dung they could find around the perimeter. A thought crossed Kenji’s mind, last night may have been a failure but there is one more place for them to see dinosaurs up close. It wouldn’t take long and they would be back for the others to return.

“Hey guys, I have an idea,” Kenji grinned mischievously.

“What is it now, Kenji?” Darius asked.

“How about we go see some more dinosaurs?” Kenji suggested.

“What? Get into more trouble,” Arthur scoffs.

“No, you see, that's the beauty of it. We can get back before the others do, all we need to do is use the shortcut” Kenji announces his plans.

“Sounds nefarious,” Betsy added, “so what's your plan, Kenji?” She bordley rests her chin on the back of her hands as she holds the shovel handle’s apex. Kenji smiled at her as he shoveled some leaves off of a metal hatch.

“My father knows the guy who designed the worker’s tunnel” he slips out a keycard which he slides into the hatch. An electronic click is heard before Kenji begins turning the wheel. It opens, making a hissing sound not too dissimilar from popping open a soda can. The four campers slowly descend into the worker tunnels below.

Meanwhile at the Hammond Creation Labs…

Brooklynn records everything in the labs, scientists handling eggs in the incubator labs and some workers pushing carts carrying crates filled with amber fragments. She pans her camera past some random tourists, three teenage Japanese girls: one with short white hair, seemingly dyed with a stripe of magenta, the other with long black hair with also a stripe of magenta and the other with jet black hair. Brooklynn pans her camera over four girls each with a unique hair color: red, white, black, and yellow. Brooklynn grew bored of all these people crowding the glass. She let out a sigh before spotting Dr. Henry Wu leaving his office. 

“Dr. Wu, can I talk to you please?” Brooklynn walked up to the geneticists, “May I have a private interview with the brains behind Jurassic World? It's for a popular social media channel who are just dying to know the man behind the park” She excitedly filmed the bus scientist.

“Perhaps some other time, Ms…” Wu said politely.

“Brooklynn Dodgson,” she proudly announces.

“Well Ms. Dodgson, once I have some free time I would be happy to give you and your followers on social media my time” Wu smiled.

“Really?” Brooklynn did her best to sound super excited. Once Wu left her sight, Brooklynn grinned. “Now to see what's inside Dr. Wu’s office, hehehehe” she giggled quietly to herself. Brooklynn slipped into the door Wu had left open, she carefully filmed the interior of the labs. She traversed deeper into the labs, she filmed the strange assortments of mix-matched creatures. She glances over at one of the computers, she sees the genetic blueprint of the Indominus rex, Stegoceratops, Ankylodocus, Koolasaurus, Carnoraptor, Tropeogopterx and the Spinoraptor. Brooklynn slowly reached into her pocket and pulled out a USB stick, she stuck it into the computer’s USB port. She types at the keyboard, brooklynn begins copying the data to the stick before pulling it out as she thinks she hears footsteps, she quickly hides underneath one of the computer desks. Two scientists briefly walked into the labs.

“Look, Jerry, I don’t care what the higher ups are doing” a young scientist argued.

“Niles, what Masrani has done to InGen is wrong, this isn’t what Hammond envisioned” an older scientist countered.

“Yeah, look what he accomplished. Two failed theme parks and a short lived nature preservation on Sorna”

Meanwhile, the rest of the campers were at the incubation labs. Witnessing a premature hatching from one of the ankylosaurus eggs. It was born with a slight birth defect, its scrutes were asymmetrical. Dr. Wu, though surprised, he quickly jotted down something in his notes. This anomaly reminded him to check up on Masrani’s secret project. He raised an eyebrow when the nervous boy named the newborn ankylosaurus “Bumpy”.

“Okay, the tour is up. We need to give Bumpy here some rest, within a week you’ll see her at the petting zoo” Henry Wu wraps up the teenager’s visit.

Brooklynn made her escape when the two scientists had their attention elsewhere. She slowly closed the door behind her.

“Hey what was that?” Jerry asked.

“That nothing,” Niles replied.

Brooklyn was on her way out of the main labs, when Dr. Wu stopped her. “What are you doing here? Kids aren’t allowed in the labs”

“I’m sorry was looking for the bathroom”

Dr. Wu sighs, “It's down the hall to the left,” Did she see it? No, probably not, Henry thought. Although, her last name sounded familiar. Dodgson, surely she isn’t related to that Dodgson.

Meanwhile back at the tunnels, Kenji and his group have been traversing the tunnels for a while now. They began to see a ladder, they could see text painted near it, “Codename: Aqua”, Betsy read.

“What's that?” Darius asked.

“I think it's the Carnotaurus enclosure that's about to open next week,” Kenji replied as he climbed up the ladder. Damn I wish I brought the darn tunnel map, for all I know this could be the mosasaurus exhibit, Kenji mentally curses. He takes a deep breath before opening the hatch leading to the surface. To his surprise and relief the first thing he saw were trees and the sound of forest bugs. Good, it's not the mosasaurus exhibit, he sighed in relief. As he continued to climb up he spotted a paddock similar in design to the Raptor Paddock from last night. Crap we’re back at this place again… wait that wasn’t a raptor roar or was it? He continued to examine the octagonal structure. I don’t remember there being a moat here, Kenji thought as he further inspected the paddock. Betsy climbs up second. She too was surprised to see the paddock. She glances at the moat leading out of the paddock, she follows the moat with her eyes which leads to a fishery. Betsy pulls herself up until she finds herself walking up from behind Kenji.

“Sorry,” she apologizes, Kenji turned to face her staring off at the fishery.

“Fish?” Kenji questioned. Darius and Arthur finished climbing up the ladder. They too stared at the paddock before following their eyes to the fishery.

“Fish. Aqua. Aqua means water, I got it!” Arthur cracked it.

“Got what?” Betsy asked.

“This must be the Suchomimus exhibit or even the Baryonyx exhibit” Arthur speculates.

“Those exhibits are open to the public” Kenji corrects, “Were not in the park right now, I think we're in the construction zone”

“Ummm Kenji if we were in the construction zone then why does the sign say restrictive area?” Betsy points out.

“Because it's off limits to guests, only Jurassic World staff are allowed back here” Kenji rationalized. The boys walked up the metal stairs leading into the observatory chamber. Betsy followed them. Betsy slowly turned towards the barred window, she spotted four strange looking dinosaurs feeding from the moat within their enclosures. They looked like raptors but they were different from the ones from last night. They had longer snouts and were much bigger in addition to sporting a small fleshy sail on their backs. The Spinoraptors look up towards the observation window. The spinoraptors didn’t recognize the human’s faces so they quickly approached the windows. Their leader leaped from the ground, smashing into the bar caged window. It wrapped its claws around the bars while it attempted to squeeze its long snout between the bars before pulling them free. The teenagers flee from the observatory as they head back into the tunnels.

“What the hell was that?” Darius cried.

“I don’t know,” Kenji said, trying to catch his breath.

“That was no dinosaur I ever saw and I am a huge dinosaur nerd,” proclaims Arthur, “It can’t be a raptor its anatomy is all wrong and It can’t be a spinosaurus either too small and the body and feet are wrong”

“I don’t think we were supposed to see that… thing” Betsy added.

“Spinosaurus Raptor? Spino… Raptor… Spinoraptor” Arthur muttered to himself.

“What do you mean Betsy?” Darius looked up at her visibly scared.

“Think about it, though. It was in a restrictive area away from the park,” Betsy then looks over to Arthur, hearing him mutter Spinoraptor, “What if the park is trying to invent new dinosaurs?”

“Betsy, that’s crazy! Why would they do that, when they have real dinosaurs?” Darius cried.

“The dinosaurs in Jurassic World aren’t real dinosaurs, they are spliced with the DNA of Frogs” Arthur butted in, “Am I the only one who visited the Innovation Center?”

“This is my first time visiting Jurassic World,” Betsy replies.

“Yeah mine too,” Darius added.

“Pffft… yeah mine as well” Kenji finally admitted, “Well it does make some sense why they would invent a new dinosaur, Jurassic World attendance has been going down in the last few years according to my dad”

“Let’s keep this a secret between us four, we have to go before Dave and Roxie finds out we are gone” Betsy suggests.

The Jurassic World Jeep arrives at Camp Cretaceous. Dave and Roxie smile as they spot Betsys, Darius, Arthur, and Kenji have finished cleaning up the dinosaur poop from the perimeter. Yaz and Sammy leave the jeeps first as they head back to the cabins. Ben shyly heads for his cabin as Brooklynn continues to film the punished campers.

“Oh look, here is an exciting episode of my roommate Betsy, have fun cleaning up dinosaur poop” Brooklynn smiles.

Betsy smiles back, “Yes, it was tons of fun…”

“We just got back from the Hammond Creation labs, we saw a baby dinosaur hatch and I got to interview Dr. Henry Wu” Brooklyn gloated. Betsy gave Brooklynn a blank stare.

“Who?” Betsy asked.

“Who? The most important man on this entire island, that's who!” Brooklynn cried.

“Why is he important again?” Betsy asked.

“Because he created the dinosaurs in this park, do you not check social media?” Brooklynn asked.

“No, I don’t keep with that stuff” Betsy waves her hand dismissively, “besides there are a lot of bullies on there,” Betsy’s pitch dropped to a whisper as she darted her eyes away from Brooklynn. She glances back only to see Brooklynn was already heading to the tree-top cabins. “Wow… rude. Well looks like I could use the sleep” she followed after Brooklynn.

A very good chapter, I hope you make more soon!

Well, If you're talking about this guy. It would probably freak my brother out and for me, the same.

SEASON 1

EPISODE 1: : CAMP CRETACEOUS

On a warm sunny morning, Darius woke from atop of his bunk. He slowly climbs down the wooden bunk bed ladder as he makes his way to the kitchen. His brother walks in on him while he makes himself some cereal. The front door opened then closed, his older brother Brandon came in with the mail before reaching into his pocket then dropping a Jurassic World ticket on to the dinner table. He looks up at Darius with a big smile.

“Hey Bro, I got you a ticket to Jurassic World, well I was originally going to give it to one of my friends but they were either sick or weren’t interested in dinosaurs, so… here you go, happy early birthday”

The sun radiates over a green island stranded out in the middle of the big blue ocean. Isla Nublar, the former site of Jurassic Park and the current site of its successor Jurassic World. A girl with short black hair tied in short uneven pigtails departs from the white passenger ship. Her yellow-ish hazel eyes darted around, she didn’t like large crowds of people. So many strangers make her mind go introverted. A boy roughly her age accidentally bumps into her, he had short dark brown hair and green-hazel eyes. He darted his eyes away as he apologized to her, she could tell he was shy just like her. They both look away as they attempt to distance each other in embarrassment. They arrive at Camp Cretaceous, a series of cabins suspended on large redwood trees. The cabins connect to other cabins via a sturdy wooden bridge and to the ground via an elevator shaft and a zipline.

The girl and boy found themselves dropping their camping packs off at the camping circle as they waited for their fellow campers to arrive. A short black boy arrived shortly after they did, followed by a white girl with dyed pink hair, a tall asian boy, a nervous white boy, a dark haired indian girl and a chubby hispanic girl. Then came the two counselors, Dave and Roxie.

“Alright Kids, welcome to Camp Cretaceous. We are going to be doing some fun and exciting activities! First, roll call” Dave announced excitingly. 

“Darius Bowman?” Dave reads off the list

“Here,” the black boy raises his hand.

“Betsy Cinders?”

The dark short-haired girl looked up as her name was called, “Ummm, here” she darted her eyes away from the counselors.

“Brooklynn Dodgson?”

“Here” the pink-haired girl raises her hand.

“Yasmina Fadoula?”

“Here,” the Indian girl raised her hand.

“Sammy Guiterrez?”

“Here,” the chubby girl smiles at the counselors.

“Kenji Kon?” 

“Present,” Kenji smuggly replied.

“Gray Mitchell… Gray Mitchell?” Dave looks around to see no one responds, “Gray is not here yet. Zach Mitchell… Zach Mitchell?” again no one responded, “sigh, Zach is not here yet”

“Ben Pincus? Ben Pincus?” Dave repeated after hearing no reply from the boy.

“Here,” the nervous boy finally announced.

“Arthur Powell?”

“Here,” Arthur raised his hand.

“Okay Campers, gather at the campfire” Dave shouted. “Listen up, we have ground rules fo you need to follow. There is a curfew, these jungles are filled with free-roaming dinosaurs, though they are mostly vegetarians they are still highly dangerous animals. Let say you run into a stegosaurus or an ankylosaurus and you are hit by its thagomizer, your gonna have a bad time”

“Yes, on to the Cabins. We pair you in twos. Darius and Kenji, you have Cabin 1. Ben and Arthur, you have Cabin 2. Yasmina and Sammy, you have Cabin 3. And, Brooklyn and Betsy, you have Cabin 4,” Roxie assigned.

As they got to their treetop cabins, Kenji started self proclaiming himself the alpha male of the group given his wealthy background which intimidates Darius, Ben, and Arthur. Brooklyn takes a picture of the boys as she accuses them of displaying toxic masculinity. Betsy rolls her eyes at Brooklynn before heading off to her cabin. Sammy and Yaz just sat off together, ignoring the whole thing as they headed off to their cabin. 

Later that night, when everyone was in their cabins. Betsy tossed and turned in her bed, unable to get to sleep as Brooklynn was updating her vlog; loudly so. Betsy growled as she sat up from her bed, she glared at Brooklynn before leaving the cabins as she headed down the elevator to the ground floor. 

She then sat near the campfire, reminiscing her camp memories of her late father. She heard in the distance a strange bird, its chirps were intersected with long sharp hisses. The sounds of plants being stomped on by heavy feet followed by low dragged out groans. The dinosaurs were stalking the forest from beyond the perimeter barrier. A lone Compsognathus approaches the Camp perimeter only to stop in its tracks as if it had hit an invisible wall. It chirps in confusion. 

“Now you guys will do as I say when I say it,” Kenji asserted himself loudly on the wooden bridge. Darius and Ben said nothing but Arthur despite being timid like the other two, he scoffed at Kenji’s show of dominance. Arthur turns around as he leaves for the elevator.

“Hey where are you going?” Kenji shouted.

“Anywhere but here!” Arthur shouted before taking the elevator down to the ground floor. He found himself sitting next to the girl he saw earlier at the peer. He locked eyes with her, he felt butterflies in his stomach, he thought to himself what a pretty girl Betsy was before quickly refocusing his thoughts to other things. He coughs to distract himself but the image of her beautifully yellowish-hazel eyes are still present in his thoughts. The elevator came back down, Betsy and Arthur both turned to see Darius, Kenji and Brooklynn. 

“What are you three doing?” Arthur asked, annoyed. 

“Darius, isn’t getting the full Camp Cretaceous experience. So we're just going to look around the perimeter. To see the dinosaurs” Kenji replied.

“Yeah, coming here was my dream,” Darius added.

“Ooh can I join?” Arthur asked, his interest was piqued.

“Sure, why not?” Kenji accepted.

“Ugh more boys… Hey, Betsy was it? Want to join us?” Brooklynn asked.

Betsy looked at the campfire which was now just embers, she looked back to the pink haired girl. “Sure,” she nodded.

After sneaking past some of the park guards they slowly approached the perimeter, the distant groans of herbivorous dinosaurs can be heard echoing from the darkness. They follow the road until they come across a large metal octagonal structure. Arthur refused to climb the stairs while the other kids slowly made their way up the steps before finding themselves on a long catwalk. Kenji snatches away Brooklynn’s phone to see what she does on it. Brooklynn turns around to confront Kenji as they fight over the phone, promptly he accidentally drops her phone onto the catwalk.

“You stupid boy, you almost dropped it down there!” Brooklynn cries.

“Geez relax e-girl, I’ll get your phone” Kenji retorts.

“Ummm guys” Darius attempted to butt in but Kenji and Brooklynn ignored him. 

Betsy had already picked up Brooklynn’s phone. Brooklynn shot a glance at Betsy, her face softened from her anger filled expression. Betsy looked over at Brooklynn annoyed, this thing kept her from sleeping earlier and now they are all the way out here; passed curfew.

“Betsy, can I have my phone back? It’s life or death for me if I don’t post something now” Brooklynn sweetly demanded. 

“Life or death?” Betsy pondered, these e-celebrity types always pissed her off, narcissists who believe in their own self importance because they have followers on a website, “Is that so?” she smiled grimly. 

She hands the phone back to Brooklynn. The pink-haired girl bolted past the boys, extending her hand out for her phone. Betsy retracted her arm away from Brooklynn. Brooklynn’s smile dissipated into a confused expression. Betsy's smile evolved into a devious grin as she allowed the phone to slip from her grasp. Only to realize she took the joke too far, her devious expression was quickly replaced with one of panic as she desperately looked around to where she dropped it until spotting it on the paddock floor.

“Why did you do that for?! Don’t you know who you are messing with here?” Brooklynn screamed at Betsy.

Betsy’s expression shifted from surprised to annoyance as she turned her attention back to Brooklynn, “Errr, your stupid phone and your stupid vlogs kept me from my sleep!”

“Oh I’m sorry, am I keeping you from your beauty sleep, judging from your disheveled appearance I bet you're the type of person who wouldn’t mind sleeping in the woods” Brooklynn retorted.

“Thanks I might just do that! I would rather sleep in the woods than having to hear your narcissistic ramblings of social justice!” Betsy hissed

“It's my fault, I’m the one that took her phone in the first place” Kenji jumped into the paddock to rescue Brooklynn’s phone. CRACK! He sprankle his ankle on the way down, “OWWW, my ankle!”

Betsy breaks her death glare at Brooklynn as she runs over to the edge of the catwalk, she climbs over the railing before jumping down into the paddock. Years of physical training from camping and hiking paid off as she landed on her feet. She grabs the cell phone before heading over to Kenji to help him up. Darius jumps down into the pit to help Betsy with Kenji. Brooklynn seething with rage glances over at the controls, she has to get back at Betsy for tossing her phone down into the pit so carelessly, she angrily walks over the controls; she smashes the button with the palm of her hand, which triggers a loud siren noise. 

A man-size door slowly slides open at the far end of the paddock. Brooklynn glanced over at the adjacent corridor where the thick bushes began to thrash violently, the sounds of animals grunting made Brooklynn flee from the stranded campers’ sight.

“She left us, she left us!” Kenji repeated in utter shock.

“Brooklynn what was that noise, where are the others?” Brooklynn ran past Arthur, accidentally shoving him to the ground. “Hey!” he shouted before turning his gaze back at the structure. He quickly runs up the steps before looking around the catwalk frantically. “Hey where did everyone go…” a sharp hiss from down below caught his attention.

He spots Betsy, Darius, and Kenji being cornered by a large blue dromaeosaurid. He helplessly watches as three more velociraptors join her. Blue squawks to her pack mates, Delta, Echo and Charlie as they begin to encircle the three campers.

“If we get out of here alive, remind me to kill Brooklynn” Betsy growled.

“Hey you were the one that deliberately dropped her phone into this… cage” Kenji retorted.

“Come on guys, let’s not fight” Darius attempted to calm the two down.

Arthur had to think of something fast, he frantically glanced over the catwalk and spotted the control unit. He runs across the catwalk which temporarily distracts the raptors below. Arthur  pressed one of the buttons, the man-sized door slid closed, “Shit” he then pressed the other button which slowly began to open the gate behind the stranded campers.

“Run,” Arthur shouted. Betsy clenches the phone in her hand, tempted to throw it at one of the raptors. She refrained from the thought, wishing not to get in any more trouble. She glances at the phone for a second, thinking of how Brooklynn really pisses her off, the smug elitist attitude and the narcissistic behavior. Arthur’s words finally registered in her brain as she saw Darius leaving with Kenji in her peripheral vision. Blue snapped her jaws at Betsy, in a brief panic she fell onto her butt. Blue slowly approaches her, followed by Delta and Echo then Charlie.

I thought Andrewsarchus was supposed to resemble an entelodont aka a Terminator Pig

Oh cool

If anybody else wants to post a memory of this legacy, you can put it here.

emotional moment :(

Mine too

This cute guy, absolutely not. I encountered this mammal thousands of times and I never felt scared of it.

wait a minute, I made a topic 80% exactly like this one. I didn't know about this topic! And yea Giganotosaurus hands down, Spinosaurus's more fragile jaw wouldn't be able to penetrate Giganotosaurus's robust flesh that much.

You guys vote for the winner in the next round.

Freakin Spammer

Yay, I voted for Gigantoraptor and I hit a jackpot! I knew that the Gigantoraptor would win!

My child likes dinosaurs very much.

I want a gigantoraptor as a pet now

WHAT THE HECK!

wow thats a little over kill Kamoebas V.6

Altispinax, since Becklespinax is its junior synonym

Alectrosaurus all the way

He looks so happy! I wonder why he had such round jaws?

Yeah, I can see both happening. As for compeition, I think the odds were low since the Early Jurassic ecology was just recovering from the End Triassic extinction

I have been doing some researching, the dilophosaurus primarily ate fish, aquatic invertebrates, carrion, and small vertebrates.

Also I have been reading the dilophosaurus form (the crests) was present in many early jurassic theropods, I wonder if the dilophosaurus went extinct through evolving into more advanced theropods.

Maybe Dilophosaurus died out, It had competition too.

very scary

You want to wrestle with one?

Yes.

I used to be really scared of bugs when I was little (and even now, I'm still a little creeped out by certain species), so I probably would've been extremely terrified if I saw a live Meganuera as a kid. As an adult, I would probably be less scared of it, although it would still creep me out a bit.

Dakotaraptor is always number #1

they say its the size of an eagle, but I doubt they are dangerous

And yes it is extinct

The next contender is another BUG

Yeah the giant millipede that could rear up and look a grown man in the eye, I would be scared if one pops up in my neck of the woods. I live in the rural parts of America were the nearest sporting store is in the big cities.

But if it turns out to be harmless then I wouldn't be too worried about it. Would probably be a farmer's nightmare in addition to regular bugs, rabbits, armadillos, and deer

definitely Gigantoraptor

definitely Gigantoraptor, them claws look sharp

well hopefully the extended cut gives us more Dr. Grant

It was better than Fallen Kingdom, but that's not a high bar by any stretch. Lots of wasted potential, jaw droppingly confusing coverage and poor Sam Neil had barely anything to do in this except bumble around, looking confused and jealous.

I don't know what's going on with Trevorrow, but the man is not cut out for blockbuster filmmaking. I really think he needs to stick with smaller, indie flicks.

well i heard from a certain Jurassic Park lore master that if the movie proves successful we may get a new trilogy

I'm just disappointed that the jurassic world franchise has ended...:(
