JPV: Life Finds a Way: Chap. 4 part 5
By Mr Goodbytes
Chapter 4 part 5: Night of the Baryonyx
The deep, black shadow of night fell once more over the ruins of Jurassic Park. Grant and the others lay huddled together on the metallic floor of the holding pen. No one could sleep. The floodlights were nearly blinding, and the roaring Baryonyx pair continued to circle the compound. Every once in a while, they would brush against the compound fence. The electricity surging through their bodies, they would quickly back away and growl. They circled several more times, then retreated back into the tropical forest.
“They must’ve gotten bored,” Hank said.
“Not likely,” Grant replied.
Strong vibrations began shaking the cage. Everyone looked out at the same time. The dinosaurs were charging full speed towards the fence!
The two Baryonyx rammed the electrified barrier with all of their strength. Sparks cascaded around their bodies. The dinosaurs screamed in anger. The fence, now dented and charred, was now little more than an annoyance.
“Everyone to the cannons!”
Biosyn employees scrambled around like insects. Everyone carried tranquilizer rifles. The female Baryonyx collided with the barricade again, breaking away a large section of fencing. Five brave men and women approached the great beast. The Baryonyx charged. There was little time to counter. The dinosaur pulled a woman off the ground, shaking her violently. Its colossal claws slashed a mans chest wide open. The other three humans fired at the animal, but the second monster had entered the compound and began his attack! The male and female dinosaurs stood side by side, slashing, biting, and kicking the feeble little humans. Breaking free of the living barrier of people and guns, they launched their assault on the cage!
Grant pushed the others to a safe distance. He knew that they were probably secure behind the thick bars. Never the less, he was going to be as cautious as possible. Smashing into the side of the cage, the dinosaurs roared. The bars of the cage dented. The animals were so close that Grant could see small blue flecks of color covering parts of their heads. The bars began to creak loudly. This particular holding pen was, obviously, not built for large, aggressive carnivores, Grant thought.
“I don’t think it’s going to hold much longer,” Simone whimpered.
“Fire,” one of the lead Biosyn workers shouted.
A loud explosion was heard, and a large, metallic net covered the female. It sizzled as the electricity flowed through her body. Another explosion sounded, and another net wrapped around the male. The female had already collapsed, men were firing darts into her hide. The male Baryonyx wriggled out of the net, and charged the humans that were shooting his mate.
Bodies were slung everywhere as the leviathan raged out of control. Blood soaked the ground as the monster rampaged through the compound. Armed guards entered the courtyard. They pointed their massive guns towards the beast, and opened fire. The dinosaur cried out in pain as the first wave of bullets pierced his skin. He lowered his crocodile snout, and crushed one mans skull with one bite. The second wave of projectiles slammed into his head and body, sending him to the ground. The last thing he saw was the fire at the end of a rifle pointed right at his eye.
“Everyone out! Now,” Dalva shouted at the prisoners.
They all exited, and watched as the unconscious female was loaded into the pen.
“Everyone indoors as soon as these bodies are disposed of. It won’t be safe tonight with that fence down. You,” Dalva said, pointing at the group, “go with Fred there into the main building. You’ll sleep on the floor. Don’t even think of trying to get away, there’ll be armed guards at every door.”
The group followed Fred into the structure, avoiding the scattered body parts as they walked.
