Jurassic Park IV: Extinction (Part5)
By Crisco
Malcolm and Roland shook their heads as they put on their parachute-backpacks.
"I'll send the flare, then you'll have to go one, at a time, as quickly as possible." I'm landing you in a field, near a lake. You'll all have to head for the trees as soon as possible and leave the parachutes" the pilot said.
"Tell me why I ever agreed to do this?" Dr. Soloman said. He was sitting on a bench frozen to the floor.
Damon had a look of excitement on his face. He was a young black man of 26. He was a rookie in the photography business, but he was widely-known. He had been in the middle-east shooting the war and his pictures were seen by millions of americans. He was wearing a muscle-shirt with some khakis. He had a pair of shades on him and he had huge muscles. Before being a photographer, he had earned money as a boxer, to get through college. He was 1st in line and ready to get off the plane.
The plane flew past a mountainside and the pilot slowed down. he started to fuddle with the control panel, and opened a plastic case with a blue button inside. "Get Ready" he said. Roland then opened the door and the wind knocked him to the back of the plane. Everyone got back up and steadied themselves.
The plane then flew next to an open cliff. In side the cliff there was a large hole and figures could be seen nestled inside it. There was a huge circle of branches in the hole and a large creature flew out of the hole to see what the noise was.
"Pteranodons" Dr. Soloman said.
"GO GO GO!" the pilot yelled as he pressed the blue buttong and an enormous sparkling flare flew in the opposite direction as the plane was going. The plane sped up and they were about to come over the feild. Damon jumped out of the plane and he was slowly floating down. The pteranodons had not been paying attention and rather than going after the plane they followed the flare just as expected.
Dr. Soloman was next, then Malcolm, then Roland. Dr. Soloman held on to the plane's railing and wouldnt let go. He was shaking from head to toe. Roland saw him and said, " Dont be a little girl" and pushed him off the plane. Malcolm went right after him. Dr. Soloman was screaming as loud as he could as he floated down into the field.
"Bastard! Shut the hell up!" Roland said to himself. Dr. Soloman continued to scream and one of the pteranodons took notice. Roland knew he had to go and he jumped out of the plane. As soon as his body was 10 ft. away from the plane, the plane sped up and left the 4 floating down.
Malcolm was being frantic, the man 20 ft. below him was screaming like a four year old and he couldnt do anything about it. He looked into the distance, a huge flying reptile was going for him at top speed. He rolled into a ball and the pteranodon just missed his head, the tip of it's wing cut malcolm's shoulder and the pteranodon kept flying. It looked like it was flying away but then it made a sharp turn and was flying straight for Malcolm's head. Ian knew it was the end. his arm was bleeding and the pteranodon wanted to bring him down. As soon as the pteranodon got 15 ft. away from him a shot was heard and it's wing had a huge hole in it. The pteranodon spirled down into the trees as Roland floated down near malcolm, shotgun smoking in hand.
"Thanks" Malcolm said.
"I was not about to lose you" Roland said bracing himself for landing.
Damon was helping up Dr. Soloman when Malcolm and Roland landed. They all unclipped their parachutes when Malcolm said, "We should head for the trees now"
Dr. Soloman was red in the face and talking to himself.
"I shouldn't of come here, i have a wife and kids at home, what was i thinking, im risking my life for..."
Roland then walked up to him and punched him in the face. "You need to get it together or you're gonna get us killed."
Then a huge roar bellowed from the distance from a adult triceratops at the lake.
"I think we should head for the trees now" Malcolm said. Damon nodded and grabbed Dr. Solomans arm as they picked up their bags and ran to the trees.
Malcolm and Damon, pulled Dr. Soloman to the top of the tree. Roland sat repacking his shotgun in a nearby tree.
Dr. Soloman looked up, "Over by the lake a baby brachiosaur!"
Damon got his camera out and climbed to the end of the branch for a better look.
the baby stood like a giraffe, its legs sprawled and long neck lowered so it could sip from the blue water of the lake. The triceratops sat along the outside of the lake grunting and padding the ground. Malcolm looked to the water and saw fish jumping.
20 ft. away from the baby a fin rose out of the water. It slowly moved closer and closer to the shore and then stopped. The baby kept sipping. It couldn't look up because of the way it was standing. It's mother was standing a 1/2 mile away from the lake looking around. She saw her baby and bellowed from her throat. The baby then looked up and turned around. Then the spiniosaur's head lunged out of the water and snapped, barely missing the baby's tail. The baby ran towards it's mother as the spino tried to get out of the water. The bank was muddy and the spino slipped and fell to the ground.
"What the hell is that?"
"Spinosaurus Aegypticus, I would shoot it if i were closer" Roland said.
The spino started to chase the baby as it headed towards it's mother. It mother ran to the baby and stood over it as the spino circled the two. The mother bayed at the spino whose jaws were gaping. The spino roared back. This spino was all tan with brown along the edges, It looked like a juvenile compared to the one on sorna. It ducked from the brachy's swinging tail over and over again until it lunged for the throat and got a hold. The mother brachy flung her head and knocked the spino off, then swung he tail back and gained momentum. She then swung it towards the spino and knocked the spino over. It's ribs were bruising and it knew it couldnt take the fight. It then retreated back to the lake and swam out of site.
"That was incredible" Damon said. Who captured it all on camera.
"It's incredible only when it's not happening to you" Malcolm said.
Casey and Julio walked through the forest and heard calling, in a clearing a huge dino with wings lie on top of leaves. It was struggling to stay standing and kept falling back to the ground. It bleeding and making a lot of noise.
"This can't be good" Julio said.
The two then climbed into a pine tree and watched the struggling animal.
"I want to help it" Casey said.
"No, there will be predators soon."
The couple heard hooting in the distance. It was short and sounded bird-like. A minute later a raptor jumped into the clearing. it was orange on the top and faded to white on the bottom. It had green eyes and brown stripes along it's back. It screeched at the pteranodon. It's screech was high pitched and nasal. Then four more just like it appeared behind it. The were pacing along the edge of the clearing looking at the pteranodon and hooting.
Then another raptor stepped into the clearing. This one was grey with blue and purple with frills on it's head and red eyes. There was also a white stripe near the eye. This one was a bit larger and it was followed by two more just like it. The stood at the other end of the clearing. The pteranodon lie in the middle in a puddle of blood yelling for all it was worth. One of the orange raptors walked to the pteranodon. The pteranodon then turned and snapped it's head in it's beak. the raptor lie dead on the ground. Then the other four raptors circled the pteranodon. One came up close to the head and teased it and the other three quickly jumped on it's back and slashed at it's flesh.
The 3 grey raptors stayed at the end of the clearing, observing the slaughter.
then The pteranodon turn to look at the raptors on its back while the teasing one ran up to the open neck and slashed it's throat.
The orange raptors started to eat the kill and then the grey raptors advanced. They started hissing at the orange ones and jumped on the kill. three of the orange ones retreated into the forest while one lay behind, attempting to guard the kill. then the grey raptor jumped on it, claws in front and slashed it's face open. The smaller, orange raptor then retreated into the forest.
Casey winced as the raptors engorged themselves on the kill. Their faces had blood smeared all over and they were very loud, crunching bones.
"I have a feeling I know what happened to your family" Julio said.
Casey's eyes watered but she didnt want to cry, crying was a sign of weakness, and she wasnt going to leave untill she found her father.
