SITE WARS: Episode II - The Flooders Strike Back
By Vader
Episode II
THE FLOODERS STRIKE BACK
Dark times are beginning for Dan's Jp3 Page. Although the feuding Snirtex and tRaptor were driven out of InGenNet, where order has been restored, the site war continues to rage on a small, low budget web page.
While the administrators and moderators travel the Internet in order to keep the peace, Dan has sent out several spies throughout the sites to search for Snirtex and tRaptor and put an end to the pointless war.
As these other things are developing, things in the Admins' personal lives are changing and the outcome could determine the fate of the Internet . . .
A large, bulky ship sailed through the ocean to a nearby website, slicing through the waves. When edging close enough, several hang gliders jumped off the boat, sailing low over the water. They slowly dove down onto the sandy beach and landed, curling up their sails in their packs as the ship continued on its course. ing their s, they looked all around, alert for danger. One of them pointed forward and they immediately went running off through the jungle.
Once inside the dense overgrowth, the man in lead halted and pointed at a small, tan- colored tank just ahead where men dressed all in black and masked, sat perched on top keeping on the lookout. Being careful not to be spotted, the hang-glider aimed his , preparing to fire, when he heard a snarl from the side. He slowly turned his head around along with his partner to see large man with red robes and armor, bringing forth a velociraptor on a chain, just like a dog, snarling. The two hang gliders gulped as the red man leaned forward and set the animal free as it. Everything went black.
Vader and Raptor-Rex sat on the edge of their seats inside a hotel room, nicely decorated yet still simple. They had been on a vacation cruise ship that toured around the inner rim, stopping at all the sites that were in high demand to visit. It was a hefty price to take the cruise, but the Admins weren't there for just a vacation off - they had another purpose.
Before them, a large, blue-tinted screen flickered to life on the wall and they saw the familiar face of none other than Dan Finkelstien. "It's good to see you again," their leader smiled at them. "Have you found any success in searching for Vini yet?"
"Not just yet," Raptor-Rex admitted, "But when we asked around, some of the tourists said they spotted a large man matching his description out by the pool."
"Selling pirated copies?" Dan asked hopefully. If the tourists had witnessed the man doing this, it was in all certainty that the man's identity was Vini.
"No. Hanging with super ," Vader sighed. "There haven't been any reports of him trying to sell to anyone yet."
"Well keep the eye out. It seems whenever we least expect it, Vini strikes," Dan encouraged them.
"Yes. Have you found any traces of the Flooders yet?" Raptor-Rex inquired. Dan shook his head in despair.
"No. It has been a long, grueling, three years. But I manage to keep my high hopes of finding them," he informed them. It seemed that recently, the bad side of the internet was becoming harder and harder to keep under control, resulting in higher prominence.
"That's what we need now - high hopes. By the way Dan, have you noticed anything wrong with Beno-Yo lately? He seems . . . different. He's been hanging out at the cantina a lot and his mind doesn't seem as focused as it should be on our mission here."
"Well," Dan began hesitantly, "There are some personal matters he's been dealing with.
"Like what? Can we help?" Vader sounded concerned.
"I'm not sure if he wants me to tell you, but . . . he's quitting the Admin force." Vader and Raptor-Rex had never been more surprised in their lives. Beno-Yo, for many a year, had been held in the highest respect as one of the most brave and noble Admins of all time. To think that he was leaving his responsibility which he had enjoyed and wanted to do so much in the past was unthinkable.
"What?! That isn't possible!" Raptor-Rex yelled. Immediately, the two Admins darted out of the room without cutting the connection with Dan. With a sigh, Dan pressed a button and the screen flickered out to end the conference.
Raptor-Rex and Vader went rocketing down the hallway and burst onto the deck of the cruise ship. They leapt down a flight of stairs to the very bottom of the ship and darted into the cantina. Inside, they were immediately arded with bright lights and a catchy tune played by a band played while rowdy drinkers played games of cards and cheered at different tables. Dancers were in the corner on a stage and the bar was in the center of the all the excitement.
"There!" Vader pointed to a person sitting near the bar. He and Raptor-Rex strut over to Beno-Yo, who was crouched over the table, drinking a shot of and looking at a of a beautiful young woman that neither Vader nor Raptor-Rex had ever seen before.
"Beno! What is this talk of you quitting?" Raptor-Rex demanded. Beno just chuckled as he sat his drink down.
"So Dan told you, eh?" he smiled as his pivoted his stool around to face his friends. "My friends, I've been with the admin force ever since I was a small child. I was trained in the ways of the peace protectors by the gracious Dan, who took the responsibility upon himself. That is how I became what I am today, and I have served the internet well. And now, things have developed."
"What are you talking about?! You sound like an old man giving a speech before he's about to die!" Vader raised his voice.
"Please, you have to understand that things can't always stay the way they are. It changes. It isn't always bad, its just diff-" Beno was cut off from trying to calm his friends down when Raptor-Rex slammed the counter.
"Things can't change Beno! We need you! It can't happen!" he yelled.
"You're afraid - afraid of change," Beno took note, looking Raptor-Rex right in the eye. Before their conversation could continue, the music stopped playing and everyone fell silent looking to the back of the cantina. There stood a large, fat man with one eye ball and dressed in roughed up clothes. "Scum bag at twelve o' clock," Beno remarked. Vader and Raptor-Rex dove away but Beno stayed where he was, continuing to sip his drink. The new comer was staring right at him, pointing. Then he turned and looked past the completely silent bar, everyone with their jaw hanging open, and then looked at the band.
"Keep playing!" the man shouted in a rough tone. Everyone immediately went back to he their business and the band kept playing its tune and the dancers continued dancing, enthusiastic. to do what the large man commended. The man walked up to Beno with a limp.
"I'm surprised you got past security, you pirate," Beno said casually.
"Hey now, the name's Vini, old buddy!" the pirate said with his arms wide open, acting as if they'd known each other for years.
"Don't be a suck up. I was your childhood but that was a long time ago."
"And as friends, I've been looking all over for you. I need a favor from one old friend to another."
"Quit the crap and spit it."
"Well . . .business has been going slow since Yahoo disallowed us on their list. I'm going to need somebody to buy-
"Pirated copies of JP3? No way. You should have known better than to come here you sucker."
With a snap of Beno's fingers, Vader and Raptor-Rex jumped out and hand cuffed Vini from behind, completely taking his suprise. After the shock got past him, Vini looked at Beno with a sense of betrayal and extreme loathing. The two Admins dragged him out as he screamed to Beno, "You will regret this. I'll torture you, make you lick my feet, make you my slave and you. Ignoring him, Beno whirled back to the bar and had another drink, thinking nothing of it.
The cruise ship sailed through the night. After Vader and Raptor-Rex returned from locking up Vini, on the very back of the deck, the three Admins gathered and readied their mini- choppers, having succeeded in capturing the illegal-business-running Vini the Pirate. They then jumped inside and set the coordinates to head back to Dan's JP3 Page. They took off with a load whir from the blades and flew into the sky.
One of the two spies slowly opened his eyes. Both of them, after being hit by the Flooder and his velociraptor, were lying on the jungle floor. Likely, the Flooder had thought them to be . Their communications and probes systems had all been beaten and ed and they lay in a pool of blood near their heads. The awakened spy slowly turned to see that his comrade was next to him, displaying a gruesome sight of being ripped in two. Desperately, he fiddled with his device on his belt, using the last bit of energy he could. With static, the electronics hummed, but just barely it worked.
He raised arm straight up in the air, swivelling it so as to record a tape of all of his surroundings. Ahead of him, beyond the foliage, was a huge, cold, snowy field with a large base on each end. "Snirtex! Traptor!" the spy whispered into the microphone with a hoarse tone. Using his last bit of energy, he pressed the button so as to turn it off and then collapsed into .
The three Admin mini-choppers reached Dan's JP3 Page and zoomed own towards it through the clouds. Raptor-Rex and Vader were relieved to set their eyes upon their home site again after what seemed like forever waiting for Vini to be captured. All of them landed on a large helicopter landing pad in the capitol in the center of the site and shut off the motor. Several members ran to meet them with Dan in the lead.
"It is good to see you again! I presume Vini is in prison!" Dan yelled to them cheerfully.
"That's right Dan," Beno confirmed. "We won't have to worry about him any more. Without their leader, the pirates will be lost and confused. Their little VCD operation can be rendered moot." Before they could keep on talking, there was a beep from Dan's radio, hooked to his belt. Dan looked half suprised, half distressed.
"There's an incoming message for me. It must be urgent." Beno-Yo, Vader, and Raptor- Rex ran after Dan into the large dome that sat in the middle of the city. Once inside, they saw several members were at the panels and gestured to the large screen on the wall. There was a warbled, jumbled, transmission coming through.
"Very weak, I see," Vader observed. The static consumed most of the screen, but just barely, they could make out structures on opposite ends of a huge snowy plain.
Then they heard a strained voice: "Snirtex! Traptor!" Everyone in the roomed gasped, realizing it was none other than the hiding place of the still feuding Flooders. The voice gasped and coughed as the camera dropped to the ground, the lense splattered with red. The transmission ended and everyone was silent. Dan looked extremely upset.
"Your spy died a hero's , Dan." Beno spoke up. "Now, all you have to do is trace the message."
"Yes," Dan said woodenly, lost in thought. He then stopped and smiled, turning to Beno and putting his hand gently on his shoulder. "Well, I thank you for all your help, Beno. You have served many wonderful years with me and I love you like a father. I wish you the best of luck," he told him with warmth.
"Thank you," Beno returned gratefully.
The next morning, Vader, Raptor-Rex and Dan were back at the landing pad. Beno-Yo, having already said goodbye to all his other friends, was loading up his plane for take off, to leave Dan's JP3 Page one last time and go to wherever he planned on. "Finally, I'll be able to go out on my own, go to paradise, where its secluded and not a care in the world," Beno smiled to himself.
"You deserve it, Beno," Dan chuckled.
"What are you talking about?" Raptor-Rex erupted. "Please don't leave Beno! We need you!"
"Please reconsider!" Vader chimed in.
"My friends, I have spent a long time with you to guide you. Are you afraid to grow and change? What you don't realize is that . . . you don't need me anymore. There was a long silence as Vader and Raptor-Rex contemplated. They realized that Beno had been like a big brother to them all these years, joining them on missions, always ready to offer advice. They realized they didn't need him - that they only wanted him to stay because they would miss him. Dan sighed and left them alone, leaving the pad. Suddenly, from behind, an extremely attractive young woman approached - the woman from the Beno had been staring at in the cantina during their mission on the cruise ship.
"You're here!" Beno smiled when he noticed here. He put his hand over her shoulder and gestured to the Admins. "Vader and Raptor-Rex, meet Becka-Lynn, Princess of the Chat Guild."
"Hello," she smiled at them warmly, reaching out her hand to shake theirs. "Beno has told me so much about you! How are you both?"
"Fine," Raptor-Rex said, not taking her hand, just folding his arms. Becka seemed a bit surprised at this and turned to see Beno's reaction. "So this is why you're leaving Beno? For a woman?"
"She will accompany me to a secluded web site," Beno sighed.
"You are replacing us with her! Beno, don't you see what you're doing?!" The Admins began to feel annoyed once again, knowing that they really shouldn't be. Beno and Becka looked at each other, and then back at the two Admins. With a sigh they turned to board the plane, hatch closing behind them. Raptor-Rex and Vader just stared at them and didn't take their eyes off. Slowly, the plane picked off and sailed into the sunlight.
Vader broke down onto the ground and shook his head, completely distressed. There life long friend was . . . gone. They would never see him again. He slowly rose, and he and Raptor- Rex then slowly turned and walked back towards Dan.
Beno-Yo sat in the pilot's seat with Becka-Lynn by his side. As he set the controls for their destination, soaring through the air, exiting the middle rim of the internet, he turned to look at her lovingly. "I'm so glad we're finally getting away from it all. It will be so great, Beno. Just you and me . . . in private," she told him, realized the look he gave her. Beno put a smile on his face and gave her a seductive kiss. Their romantic moment was just slightly interrupted when Becka stopped, her thoughts turning to something else. "I'm sorry your friends acted the way they did," she expressed her regret.
"It's alright," Beno assured her with a sigh. "They don't understand what has happened. Relationships change, the need to see that." Their conversation was interrupted by a beeping coming from the panel. Beno leaned over to check on what was being indicated and then eased back into his chair. "Half an hour till we reach Jack's Movie Page at Enchanted Forest Glen. It's low budget and nobody ever visits. But it's paradise." Now, not detracted by anything else, the two lovers leaned forward to share in further passionate kissing.
Back at Dan's Jp3 Page, Vader and Raptor-Rex stood with Dan in the Control Dome, trying to trace the warbled message they received from the slaughtered spy. The member workers before them typed frantically on the dash board, punching keys so as to instruct the computer system. Finally, the exhausted workers slowly twirled around in their chairs to face Dan.
"Sir, I've been trying for hours. I'm sorry, but we can't trace the transmission," the worker admitted failure. Dan let out a tired sigh, hanging his head low.
"We were so close," a disappointed Vader at his side breathed.
"Yes, that we certainly were. But thank you for trying." The workers nodded and Dan exited the room with Raptor-Rex and Vader. In the corridor outside, he folded his arms in a distressed look. "I fell something else is brewing behind this whole war," Dan divulged his gut feeling.
"But there is no point to it. Why should members from different sites battle each other senselessly?" Raptor-Rex asked.
"They shouldn't. That's my point." A door on the other end of the dome opened and a man in a pilot's uniform entered with a mechanic trailing closely behind them. Dan straightened and put on a smile. "General JohnArnold. Good day!" he greeted the newcomer.
"Hello, sir," John shook his hand. "Vader, Raptor-Rex," He then turned to his acknowledge his friends, nodding. He gestured to the mechanic behind him, "I've gotten this hotshot mechanic named Xantos to get working on repairing and building new mini-choppers for our fleet, seeing as we have lost many in the Battle of InGenNet."
Xantos stepped forward. "In fact," he informed them, "I've come up with some new blueprints for improvements on the mini-choppers, sir. I've come to request permission to have you view them. They will greatly set a higher standard for this kind of air-craft."
"Sure, I'll come take a look," an impressed Dan warmly nodded, patting the man's shoulder. He followed Xantos through the door and into the hangar. Meanwhile, JohnArnold stayed with Vader and Raptor-Rex.
"I heard Beno-Yo quit. I'm sorry," JohnArnold said, as if knowing exactly what the Admin's thoughts dwelt on. Vader just shook his head.
"He's turned into a fool," he whispered.
"We've been replaced by a woman. We'll never see him again," Raptor-Rex added.
"Don't treat him like a traitor. He has a personal life as well. Just remember that," JohnArnold left them with a final thought. He patted both of his friends on the back and then turned to catch up to Xantos to see what Dan thought of the new plans.
Beno's plane rocketed out of the air and down to a small website. He leaned forward and set the controls on the panel and it came quickly down to a landing strip near the beach. The landing gears unfolded to provide their landing. Before they exited, Beno spotted two abandoned parachutes in the sand.
"Hey we could use those!" he pointed, patting Becka's shoulder to get her attention.
"Yeah, you're right," she smiled. Both of them then exited with their bags and rifles over their shoulders. Beno quickly ed two parasails and stuffed them into his backpack. Taking Becka's hand, he quickly ran through jungle heading to set up a home. Suddenly, Beno stopped. When seeing what lie ahead, he knew his dreams of living in paradise for many years to come would never happen.
"Shh! Look ahead," he told Becka. In front was a large field of snow. On the far opposite end of it was a large complex. On the other end was another. "It's Snirtex and tRaptor! The Flooders are here - at Jack's Movie Page!" Without hesitation, both of them turned an headed back for their plane.
Back at Dan's JP3 Page, Dan sat in his palace alone, sipping and listening to the soft sounds of the street bongos playing. His peacefulness was interrupted when he heard his radio beep and he answered. A voice returned, "Dan, it's Beno! You won't believe this!"
Several mini-choppers and gliders were led gracefully by a massive jet that streaked across the sky with extreme th. The fleet was virtually silent, since the hum of the advanced engines had been newly and perfectly made. It was clear that the intention to sneak up and catch their enemies by surprise. Inside the leading jet, JohnArnold sat in the co-pilot's seat with Dan by his side, who leaned forward to instruct the rest of the fleet via control monitors on the formation he wanted.
"I think we're going to take out the Flooders once and for all and stop this pathetic war," JohnArnold smiled at his optimistic thoughts.
"I certainly hope so," Dan agreed, but seeming half preoccupied with something totally different. "I fear more for Beno and Becka's lives now than ever before. I commanded them to leave as soon as possible, and I hope they can leave before the battle ensues . . ."
On Jack's Movie Page, Beno and Becka sat in their home, sipping drinks at a small wooden table made out of the local tree bark, which was unusually strong, resting up for just a moment before leaving the site. Beno was lost in thought, dazed, and his lover noticed it. "Are you alright?" she asked.
"I'm ok," Beno replied after a moment, "I feel that we should not obey, Dan, though." She was immediately caught by surprise that Beno would even remotely consider not leaving the site now.
"He is right that we must get off of here," Becka insisted. "It is too dangerous. They could find us and do horrible things to us, then us." She gulped, closing her eyes and trying not to dwell on what their fate could still turn out to be.
"I still feel responsible to help Dan and the Admins, though."
"Why? You quit so we could be together without having to go through this kind of strife and pain. War is not an inevitable thing, Beno."
"Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, no. This will be the last time, I promise."
"Please, no!" Becka finally broke into an intense pleading. "I don't want to lose you! Don't throw yourself into battle again! Let us leave!" Beno sighed, torn between two hopes and s.
"I love you," he finally replied. "We will leave, but I must stay until Dan arrives so I can see things will proceed well." Becka slowly got up and lay in bed, worried about the future and how it might repeat the past. She had watched the Battle of InGenNet with Dan, along with so many other from different groups and organizations on Dan's. She did not want the same to happen again, in which Beno would be so close to .
Inside a large room full of monitors, weapons, and vehicles, tRaptor stood next to several of his Flooder soldiers. He watched as they prepared their weapons of war. Suddenly, out of the corner on his eyes, he noticed as a second class officer approached him.
"Lord tRaptor, our sensors pick up Admin forces moving our way," the officer informed, trying to keep as straight a pose as possible without letting any worry come into his posture. He expected tRaptor to be enraged that the Admins were coming in for another attack on them and Snirtex in order to stop the war between the two feuding groups. But what his lord next said caught him completely off guard.
"Perfect," tRaptor smiled. "Everything is going according to plan."
The Admin Fleet of mini-choppers, led by General JohnArnold and Dan, reached Jack's Movie Page. All the pilots reported in over the comms, including Vader and Raptor-Rex who were flying in formation with Xantos's vehicles close by. Vader switched on his radio to Xantos's mini-copter.
"You're new," Vader told him, trying not to sound too condescending, "So just to let you know, these things are made for pros. Are you sure you can handle it?"
"I'm sure I'll be able to," Xantos's voice returned confidently. "I piloted these things in a test run and I handled them like a dream." All of them flew in towards the surface of the site, slowly getting a bit closer to the ground.
At that point, JohnArnold began his instructions, "This is the general. Ok, listen up. When the two feuding groups first settled here, they both needed power to fuel their bases. They both rely on a large solar panel power plant in order to keep their operations running. We destroy that, we disable their bases, making them lost, confused, and defeated. Check your scanners for the location of the plant." After waiting a moment, JohnArnold led all of the mini-choppers and gliders to the middle of the site. In the center of a huge, white, snowy plane, was the plant. On the far, far opposite ends, the bases of the feuding Flooder groups were located.
"Break attack!" JohnArnold announced. Raptor-Rex was first to accelerate forward and fire a missile at the plant. Several of the solar panels were inflamed and detonated.
"Yee-Haw! Let the ‘splosions begin!" Raptor-Rex smirked, feeling like he was partaking in what he never got to do at the Battle of InGenNet - flying. Suddenly, the pilots noticed a long line of Flooders, all in red robes, extremely different from the black suits the pilots were used to seeing, rush out of the bases. They had large cannons and s. Several copters, larger and more advanced than the Admins', sped out of the bases.
"They're coming to defend their power source!" Dan yelled over the comm, JohnArnold sitting next to them in their jet.
"Show them what we're made of, boys," John encouraged.
"What?! How did they get their fighters that advanced?! They must have stolen our mini- chopper blueprints and expanded on them!"
"It may be discouraging, but don't focus on that! Focus on our goal!"
The Flooder copters zoomed in with enormous speed, faster than any craft in Dan's fleet. Their machine s blared, shooting down several mini-choppers at one time. "What is this? They can lock on in an instant!" JohnArnold gasped, beginning to be overtaken by the amazing amount of things these machines could do that gave them the advantage.
"They're heading for your's and Dan's jet, John!" Vader warned. He quickly called for several other pilots to zoom over to the leading jet with Dan and JohnArnold inside. Several of the Flooders came in close and fired missiles. Before they could do any defending.
"Evacuate!" Dan yelled to the rest of the crew. He and JohnArnold rushed to the back of the vessel and pulled out some parachutes. They jumped out of the jet just as it exploded, pulling the parachutes and floating down. Several Flooders zoomed towards them, firing like mad-men. Lizzie shot one of the down but a second Flooder did a loop-dee loop into the air, locked on in a split second and fired a missile, destroying Lizzie in the same moment of her victory.
Raptor-Rex flew over to catch JohnArnold and Dan in his mini-copter as Vader made another run on the plant, several other Flooder and Admin forces behind him. "How did the Flooder's craft become this advanced? And how are they so numerous? We took many of them out in the Battle of InGenNet!"
"Something strange is going on. They've made the same line of advancements as we have - in the same fields - only somehow, they're more advanced, more advanced than possible," Raptor- Rex noted.
"Unless we haven't known of a more advanced state. They would need a brilliant mind, the best person imaginable, to design their . . ." JohnArnold trailed off as a shocking thought came to mind. "Xantos."
Beno-Yo was loading luggage with Becka in their plane on the runway to leave Jack's Movie Page. "I hope we'll get off of here alive. You waited too long," a stressed Becka speculared.
"Becka, stop. We're going to be fine," Beno said, just slightly annoyed - not at Becka, but at himself. Deep inside, he knew he had only made the situation worse by hanging around for Dan and the Admins. He irritably finished loading all the luggage and opened the hatch to plane, gesturing for Becka to get in. He ran into the pilots seat and revved up the engine. He started moving up the runway. At the same time, Snirtex monitored the battle that was currently taking place above the power plant. A first class officer approached. "We're beating them. Several numbers have fallen," he announced proudly.
"Fine. Good work," Snirtex said calmly.
"We have readings of a plane leaving the island, as well. Look." The officer switched on a screen and on it, there was an image of a plane leaving down the runway, dust picking up from behind it. "It's an Admin. It must be. It certainly isn't one of the Flooders. Send out as squad to pursue it."
"Yes sir." Vader looped down to the panels on the plant. He fired two of his limited numbers of missiles at it, knocking out several of them. "Yes!" he smiled in satisfaction. Suddenly, a Flooder came from ahead, firing. Vader's engine exploded and he went swerving into a tree. He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and climbed out as his mini-chopper exploded and lit the tree on fire.
"Whew that was close." Out of the blue, he heard chirping and looked up. Two dilophosaurs were staring at him. He gulped, slowly reaching for his on his belt - but it wasn't there. He had left it in his mini-chopper. The colorful frills burst out on the side of the dinosaurs' necks and Vader went running, just barely avoiding the poisonous venom that shot his way.
"A Flooder came forward, firing madly. The dilophosaurs exploded while running in the line of fire after the Admin. Vader was only inches away from a missile from above ing him. Just then, an Admin mini-chopper zoomed out of nowhere, picking up Vader just as a missile hit where he had been on the ground. JohnArnold was in the pilot's seat.
"We're outnumbered and their craft is too advanced! I'm taking the remainder of the fleet out of here!" JohnArnold announced.
"We can't stop there feuding by get ourselves all ed here," Dan agreed. Raptor-Rex and Vader hung their heads in disappointment and nodded as JohnArnold called to the surviving mini-choppers.
"Admins, follow me retreat, retreat! Their protection of the plant is too strong!" he commanded. The rest of the pilots replied and turned to follow the general's lead.
Snirtex sat in a cylinder-like room with a lone monitor in front of him, contacting tRaptor in his base. He leaned back in his private chamber as a screen before him flickered to life.
"We have them on the run," he told the person before him, who was meanwhile in the base on the far end of the other side of the snow plain.
"Good. We don't want them coming back to attack us. I'm sick of this," tRaptor growled.
"As well as I. Our pilots report that Beno-Yo is the one escaping in the lone plane. He is the one I want to get revenge on and capture in particular. I will have my forces follow him, you have your forces follow Dan and his pathetic mini-choppers.
"Watch your tone," tRaptor replied threateningly, "I it when you act like my master." The communication was cut.
Beno-Yo set the controls of his plane, now in the air, to get out of the vicinity around Jack's Movie Page. Becka sat nervously beside him, her panting heavy. He was intensely regretting his decision to stay that long. He would never want to make Becka paranoid as she was now. She feared the Flooders more than he thought.
"I'm going to get us out of here safely. I promise," he told her, grasping her hand.
"I can't believe you," she said abruptly. "The Flooders are stronger than we think." As much as he d to admit it, she was right. Behind their plane, Beno and Becka eyed several Flooder aircraft zooming towards them, machine s blazing.
"Oh great. Hold on, I'll lose them." Beno twisted the controls on the plane and the vehicle went swerving in another direction. The highly advanced Flooder choppers showered them with bullets, several puncturing the top of the plane. He had to make sure none of the wings or engine were hit as he dove and spun another way.
"Look!" Becka screamed. She pointed up ahead where strait forward, thousands of firey red and orange objects hung horizontally before them. "It's an advertisement feild!" Beno nodded.
"I'm going in. It's the only way to loose them." Beno went rocketing forward twisted up and down and looping back around so as to avoid hitting the ads that hung on the brink of the field. One of the ads nicked the side of their plane, went bouncing off and slammed into one of their pursuers. Becka expressed her disapproval as Beno slammed into acceleration, going at breakneck speeds as his got closer to the center of the feild, and the ads became thicker and thicker, hanging more close to each other and leaving barely any room to maneuver.
He spun in between two ads that were floating towards each other, just barely avoid three more ads beyond that. One of the Flooder behind got caught in between a group of ads that closed in and multiply crashed into him, exploding. Beno avoided four more ads when from the side, a larger one came in. "Ah!" Becka gasped as Beno just barely had the chance to reach and pivot his s to blast the close ad. The detonation rocked their plane sending it towards another ad. They were about to crash into it when a Flooder who was trying to open fire on them missed and accidentally shot the ad ahead of them. As fire blew up at the nose of the plane, the two lovers zoomed through the space where the ad had been as Beno regained control of the craft.
They suddenly reached the center of the field, where the ads were as thick and big as ever. Their plane went ricocheting from one ad to another as they were tossed backwards, one of their wings nicking the side of one of the Flooders and sending him to his . They slammed into another ad and were shot upward, knocking a Flooder to explode and were banged up and out of the ad field without being ed through the numerous ricocheting. "That was too close," Beno panted, sweat hanging from his brow.
"We stand a better chance being chased by Flooders than escaping into there!" Becka exhaled.
"I agree. Let's get out of here, we'll have to deal with those chasing us in another way . . ."
Dan, JohnArnold, Raptor-Rex and Vader were inside the mini-chopper that led the remainder of the Admin Fleet away from Jack's Movie Page. Several Flooders were in close pursuit. JohnArnold did several twirls and twists to lose them, but it was simply impossible. The Flooders hung on to them like glue. By then, all of the other mini-choppers had been shot down - they were the only ones left.
"This is unlike them. Flooders have always been cowards for as long as they've existed," Dan took note of the unusual behavior.
"I guess they are sick of us interrupting their feud," JohnArnold said as he focused on trying to control his vehicle expertly.
"It does seem like they are going through a lot of trouble though. We are retreating to leave them alone, isn't that good enough?" Vader joined in.
"All I know is that we can't shake them. We need a place to hide temporarily or else we're going to be-" Raptor-Rex was cut off when two of the other mini-choppers were shot and went bouncing off their mini-chopper, exploding in the air. Bullets spewed over the Admins, hitting each one of them with precise aim.
"Wait till I get my hands on Xantos. He isn't even following us and I have no idea where he is," JohnArnold grumbled. Getting back to the original point, JohnArnold asked, "Dan, where is a good place we can hide that we can go to before we get blasted to kingdom come?"
"Go to my old page," Dan replied instantly.
"You mean TLW Page? No Dan, no! It's too dangerous!"
"It's completely overrun and filled with chaos. We'll be able to lose them once we land there. They would be crazy to follow us."
"But the dinosaurs - there are way too many!"
"Just do it! Increase speed!" Reluctantly, JohnArnold increased his speed and soared across the ocean as the Flooders continued to open fire.
Beno-Yo was doing loop-de-loops, and twirling up, down, and around to get rid of the consistent Flooders that chased them. Becka was thrown across the plane as there was sudden jolt. From behind came a giant Flooder aircraft, one that Beno-Yo had never seen before. Inside, tRaptor stared at his view screen, which focused in on Beno and Becka. He snickered as another shot hit the plane. He leaned over and pressed a button.
"Bring them into me," he commanded with a wicked grin. The crew gave a quick reply and in a few seconds, the plane was consumed by the mammoth craft of tRaptor's. Inside, the plane was quickly forced to land inside the gaping mouth of the main hangar and several Flooders in red suits came running out to take them into prison chambers. Beno thrust the engines as best he could, but the gravity feild inside the craft was pulling him backward. Finally, he ripped open the panel on his controls and tore out some cables to reconnect them. He whipped open a compartment, pulled out a hand-made device from scratch, plugged it in, and sent the plane into reverse. He finally blasted out of the huge Flooder ship just as the hangar bay closed, bullets spraying after them. Once away from the pull of the craft, Beno quickly redid the controls to regular running standard.
"That's a little trick that me and JohnArnold recently found out. That plug-in device is one in a million though," he told Becka as he glanced behind them and then turned his gaze back forward. "We need a place to land with protection. And I have no idea where Dan's forces are now."
"I have a friend named Tango," Becka proposed. "I know he'll be able to help us. Head for Jurassic Park: The Toys!"
"Are you sure?"
"He's my friend. Why wouldn't he help us?"
"You'd better be right about this." Beno finally set a new course and sped off with the Flooders following.
Dan, JohnArnold, Vader, and Raptor-Rex reached the abandoned TLW page. It looked completely run down, almost like a garbage dump. But they didn't hesitate. Following Dan's orders, JohnArnold flew right down passed the ed visitor center and the laboratory complex. The Flooders were a bit hesitant to follow him.
JohnArnold landed the mini-copter and shut off the engine in a flash. It was night time on the TLW page and it was pitch black all around them, a slightly detectible stench of carcass in the air. The moon was hiding behind the volcano located in the center of the island, therefore not available for shedding any light. "At least the flooders didn't follow us in here," Vader sighed, trying to be optimistic about the situation but not finding one strand of will do so within himself.
"But we still have problems. One, the Flooders are probably going to try and us out of here. Two, we have dinosaurs to deal this in here. This little visit won't be anything to enjoy," JohnArnold returned.
"Now I wish we landed on his Wing Commander page," Raptor-Rex remarked, pointing to Dan.
"It would have been too far," Dan shook his head. "Don't worry - we'll make it here. But first we should try and signal for help. Just a few meters ahead, behind the trees, is a compound where we can call the remaining members on Dan's JP3 Page for help."
Raptor-Rex slowly opened the hatch, looking all over for a sign of predators. The coast was clear. He signaled for the others to come out. Once outside, Vader pulled two flashlights from his pouch and tossed one to Raptor-Rex. They walked across the muddy jungle floor and into a long strip of palm trees. Dan pointed up ahead to show them the large complex before them, behind an electrical gate. He made a gesture for them to be quiet, so as not to attract any attention. They continued forward and jumped onto the gate, climbing over it. Everything seemed to be going fine so far - no hint of predators nearby.
Two raptors came from behind, before they could continue, shrieking.
"Hurry!" Dan called. They sped up their pace quickly, but the raptors just followed them.
When they neared the fence, John called out, "Jump!" When they got near the top of the fence, they leaped over. But Raptor-Rex wasn't so lucky as the others. His legs caught the barb wire on the top and it dug deep into his foot. He was caught in it and slammed into the other side of the fence, hanging by the barb wire. It slowly ripped through his leg a he screamed in intense pain.
"No!" Vader yelled. He doubled back and raced to the top. He quickly ripped the wire out of his comrade's leg as he let out a burst of scream. Vader jumped back down with him just as the raptors made it to the top. JohnArnold and Dan led the two Admins behind them toward the compound, the raptors right behind them. They rushed inside and slammed the door, blocking the carnivores. Panting, Raptor- Rex slowly turned around, limping. Right behind them was the communications device.
"Look!" he smiled, pointing. They rushed up to it and Vader began working on the controls. Within a few seconds, they realized the device was . He looked in the back of the technology and it was ed, bashed in, the wires ripped apart.
"Great! The dinosaurs destroyed it!" an exasperated Vader sighed.
"Calm down. If we panic, we're going to end up doing something stupid," Dan said calmly.
"Thanks so much for your words of wisdom," Raptor-Rex shot sarcastically. "But, how are we supposed to get out of this?!"
"Raptor-Rex, calm down! Don't talk to Dan like that!" JohnArnold sternly warned. Raptor-Rex sighed and turned around, bowing his head, then turning back.
"I apologize. But we're as good as here."
"We can't give up hope. I suggest we check this place out, come on."
Snirtex's flooders were still chasing Beno and Becka across the skies, s blazing. Becka looked down at the coordinates on the dashboard. "How far are we till Tango's?" she asked tensely.
"A few miles," Beno replied. "I doubt the Flooders will follow us in there. A bunch of officials and business men as well as many JP fans live at Tango's site. If they attacked us there, they would be exposed the to the public and charged with crimes by the site's government."
"Maybe, but at this point, it seems the Flooders wouldn't even care about that. They really want us bad." She then paused solemnly. "And to tell you the truth, I'm worried that the Flooders have grown large enough to overpower anyone on Tango's."
"Don't worry. We're going to do our best," Beno encouraged, taking her hand. They continued speeding with the Flooders in pursuit, when suddenly, Tango's "Jurassic Park: The Toys!" came into view. Beno cruised on at full speed but surprisingly, their pursuers slowed down and broke off their attack, turning around in the other direction.
Beno and Becka cheered, giving each other a kiss and a hug as their plane rocketed to the airport nearby on the surface of the site.
Inside his aircraft, Snirtex snickered at seeing Beno and Becka land over his view screen. At that point the familiar second class oficer approached from behind. "Excuse me for asking, sir," the officer said, trying not to sound as if he thought Snirtex was stupid, "But why did you allow them to get away?"
"Because those are my orders, General," Snirtex said simply. The officer wasn't entirely sure who those orders were from, but his thoughts were broken in to by Snirtex's restating of the surprising sentence he'd said last time: "Things are going perfectly."
Raptor-Rex, Vader, Dan, and JohnArnold sat inside the compound, chewing on some ers that were left over in the vending machines. They were starved, having not eaten since the evening before they left Dan's JP3 Page. Suddenly, there low rumble, felt by everyone.
"Who hears that?" Vader said, stopping the chewing of his food as his eyes froze. The thumps became louder and louder, as if coming closer to them. Raptor-Rex stood up.
"It's a Rex," he said certainly.
"No. It doesn't sound like footsteps . . . exactly," Dan took note. He went over and checked outside to see if the raptors were still outside. Sure enough, hey were gone. He opened the door and led the others outside. Once in the open air, they recognized the thumps were coming from behind the compound. Shortly afterwards, Flooder er jets came into view. The blazing s, filling with powerful energy, came zooming downward. One hit right on top of the complex and it exploded in a tremendous array of fire, light, and smoke.
Nobody had to yell the word ‘run' before they all took off away from the compound, once again jumping onto the fence and climbing over. Another hit behind them, showering dirt and debris everywhere. They jumped over the fence and ran into the palm trees. Another dropped onto the fence just as they got off of it and shattered it into thousands of pieces. The foursome emerged from the trees and hopped into their awaiting mini-chopper. JohnArnold started the engine once again as another blew up the palm trees just in front of them, setting the jungle on fire. The mini-chopper picked up and John thrust the engine. They went zooming up just as yet another hit where they had landed. JohnArnold flew over the island and out to see Flooders awaiting them in the air once again.
"The Flooder copters and ers are right behind us - again!" Raptor-Rex yelled.
"Dan, check the coordinates. Do we have a lock on Beno's whereabouts?" JohnArnold asked.
"Just a minute, I'm entering his ID," Dan replied, as Vader and Raptor-Rex watched Snirtex's forces behind them warily. "Ok, Beno's at coordinates 34 and 60. He's landed at, let's see, Tango's page. It's Jurassic Park: The Toys!"
"Perfect. I'm going to meet up with him."
Beno and Becka walked across the sidewalk from the landing pad in the middle of the airport. Ahead was the capitol of Tango's site, looming over them and casting a shadow in their direction. The port seemed unusually deserted, and Beno couldn't begin to imagine why. He and Becka strode along with grace when suddenly, a panel opened from the ground. A nuke launcher protruded and shot at their plane, blowing it to smithereens.
Startled, Beno whipped out his pistol from his belt and pulled Becka behind a sculpture depicting one of the custom action figures of the site's specialty nearby. He eased out from behind the structure. Seeing the nuke launcher, he shot it with his pistol. Immediately it sucked itself back underground. "What's going on?" Beno panted.
They then heard and electronic whir from behind. He whipped around to see another panel open with another nuke launcher. He grabbed Becka and they went running just as a nuke was shot out and detonated the sculpture they'd been behind. "Up ahead!" Becka shouted. Before them was a tube that led to the city - a quick escape from the ly launchers. They run up to it and Becka pressed the control panel but the doors didn't open. Beno shot at the panel and it exploded at the same time the doors slammed open, as they ran inside and rushed down the tube.
"Beno, what's the problem?" Becka asked.
"I don't know. But I did find it odd that Tango didn't even come in over our radio and ask who we were when we came to land," Beno said flatly.
"You're right. What could be the matter?"
"I have no idea."
When they came out of the tube, they found themselves within the city, but all the streets were completely empty. All the shops and restaurants had been closed and no being was anywhere in sight. "What the-" Beno was cut off at the sound of a door opening. He turned to see several Flooders running out, open firing. Beno and Becka went running in the opposite direction. They soon came to a spot where there was a fire escape elevator, running inside and pressing the ‘up' button. They heard the alarm sound as they did so and they heard the bullets fire below them. The elevator continued to carry them upward.
JohnArnold drove his mini-copter downward at an airport near the beach of Tango's. It was then the Flooders, who'd been chasing them all this time, had left. "Yes! Did you see that?! What cowards!" JohnArnold laughed happily. Dan however wasn't so happy. He recognized something was wrong here.
JohnArnold landed his mini-chopper carefully in the airport and locked the landing gear. Him, Dan, Vader, and Raptor-Rex all exited to find Tango's site strangely deserted. "I knew something wasn't right," Dan said under his breath.
"What's going on here?" Raptor-Rex questioned. Just then, dozens of crimson-clad Flooders came marching out of the airport office, firing at their mini-chopper. It blew up as the Admins and Dan backed off.
"You three, hands in the air! Follow us!" the head of the Flooder group commanded. Reluctantly, the Admins came forward with their hands up and heads bowed low, knowing there was no way to escape this one without being ed. Vader turned to mumble something in his comrades' ears.
"I don't know where the Flooders recruited all these soldiers anyway."
Beno led Becka through a dark maze in one of the buildings of the capitol. It was ly quiet and they were all confused as to what was going on and where the route would lead to. They passed through a door that joined to another hallway. As they passed through it, the door snapped shut on Beno's hand, which was holding onto Becka's. He immediately yelped and pulled his hand free of the door. After taking a second to try and drive the intense pain of his hand away from his mind, he banged on the side of the door.
"Becka! Becka! Can you hear me?" he called, hoping with all his heart there would be an answer. There was a led call from the other end. Becka pounded on the door as well, when suddenly, she felt something round and small bury into her back. She slowly turned to see two Flooder with their points nuzzled into her.
"Let's go," one of them simply commanded. She went along with them, afraid to be shot . One of the Flooders held her hands together ly and marched down the other way, backtracking. They entered a code on a hidden panel on the wall and it slid open. They proceeded through and then Becka saw it - in the huge grand entry way ahead were several of the sites inhabitants and Tango, all of them being held prisoner by Flooders.
The hallway Beno was in turned off its lights and it became pitch dark. Caught off guard, Beno spun around, jarred. "Hello?! Who's there?!" he said, beginning feel hints of fear. He fired a shot down the walkway with his to provide a split second of illumination. He slowly proceed forward. Within the blink of an eye, the floor gave out under him and he went falling into oblivion.
Back at the airport, JohnArnold, Dan, Vader, and Raptor-Rex were led through the back entrance to the capitol. They went to a very tall building in the center of the streets. JohnArnold was tempted to ask where they were taking them but decided not to. The main entrance was crowded with the residents of the capitol. They immediately spotted Tango in the middle of everyone. "Tango!" Raptor-Rex yelled. One of the Flooders behind shot Raptor-Rex with a stun.
"One more yell like that and next time it won't be just a stun, got it?" the gruff voice stated. The Admin nodded and they were all thrown to the floor with everyone else. The soldiers surrounded them on all sides. The newcomers slowly backed up to where Tango was in the center.
"Good to see you aren't hurt, Tango," Dan whispered.
"It's good to see you guys ok, too," Tango exchanged in the same manner, "But I'm worried they have horrible things planned for us."
"How did they get here? All the Flooders were busy chasing us and Beno-Yo."
"Well it must have been another section of the Flooders separate from your pursuers."
"I wonder how they've recruited so many soldiers in just three years. Their army is massive beyond belief. They beat us when we made attacks on their base."
"I'm afraid I can't answer that one."
As soon as Beno hit the floor again, bullet fire ripped around him. He got up and dove for behind a block of cement that was near him. He seemed to be in some sort of basement to the building large building, but he couldn't be sure. The shots continued on for a while but then abruptly stopped. Beno waited a few moments before he peeked out from behind the block.
In front of him was a shadowy figure in black robes with a machine his hand. He fired another round at the block and it was blasted into small particles, many of them digging into Beno's back. He went running down the basement to where solar rods were elevated, only able to be reached by going up a flight of stairs. The shadowy figure jumped after him.
Beno shot strait at his chest but it had no effect, for the figure must have had a rare sort of armor on. The Admin dove behind one of the glowing solar rods. He shot a few more times at the figure and his opponent returned. He realized that if he were to escape somehow, it would certainly not be easy.
Tango, Dan, JohnArnold, Raptor-Rex and Vader were all taken to a room at the end of a long, featureless hallway. They were being separated from the people of the capitol and Tango guessed that his citizens were all going to be slaughtered - yet he could not say for sure the Flooders' intentions. They were brought into a room where a familiar face was. Becka-Lynn lay strapped to a table next to five others just like her's.
"I guess those others are for us," John said, gesturing to the remaining tables. The Flooders threw them onto their tables and strapped them in. The commander leaned over to them.
"This is going to hurt so incredibly bad, it will drive you out of your mind," the man snickered. The Admins could imagine the wicked smiles behind the Flooders' masks. Before anything else could be said, the commander pulled a lever and from the ceiling came five long blocks with two needles on the end. They dove down to them and the needles landed right on their chests. It felt incredibly painful as the feeling of fire consumed the entire inside of their bodies. They all screamed in intense pain, as the Flooders kept it going for what seemed like forever until the needles pulled themselves out. It seemed to be over.
The commando smiled, "Now I'll turn it up to notch ten . . ."
The needles dove back and the screams continued.
Beno-Yo continued firing at the shadow figure but it seemed useless. His enemy shot Beno's away and the bullet grazed his hand. As he yelled, t figure grabbed him by the shoulder and threw him against the wall with great strength. On the floor, Beno slowly turned to face the shadow that towered above him. "Wh-Who are you?" he stuttered.
"Soon to be the most powerful man in the internet," the figure replied in a dark tone.
"Why have you done this?!" Beno began to break down from the mixture of intense emotional worry of his wife and worry of the entire internet.
"Do you know your past Beno?" The Admin's mind whirred. He knew this man was going to try and twist his thoughts to make him weak in battle. He decided not to listen.
"Just shut up, scum!" he shouted.
"Beno, you knew me. You could have been my most powerful ally."
"I said to stop!"
"Beno, you were stolen from me. You must come back to relive the time that was stolen from us!"
"You don't know what you're talking about!"
"Oh but I do! Beno . . . you were a Flooder!" At this absurd statement Beno's mind exploded into million thoughts. How could this possibly be true?! He was trying to screw up his brain or something - it had to be a lie!
"You're lying! You expect me to believe that?!" Beno said as tears began to spring to his eyes under such tormenting pressure.
"You must believe it! You must re-join me or else become extinct! The Admins have already been weakened Beno, they won't win! You will either die with them or live with me!"
"I was never a Flooder! I was never a Flooder! I was never a Flooder!" Beno returned, his chants turning into screams.
"You were my most beloved prized pupil and you were stolen from me, Beno!" At that, Beno went leaping down the corridor as shots went after him. He ran into the elevator in anger to escape the nightmare.
He waited impatiently as the elevator took him up several stories. It finally stopped at the grand entry floor and he walked out. He was greeted by a most gruesome sight - all over the floor, corpses of the citizens lay. Beno was appalled. All these people were innocent and had nothing to do with the site wars. Rage went through him as he thought of the Flooders and what he had just been told by the mysterious shadow figure.
He noticed a lone one Flooder in the corner. Beno-Yo went running across the room in rage, not caring about his conduct or his thoughts anymore. The startled Flooder, who turned and fired but missed. Beno jumped up at him and knocked him to the ground. He punched the soldier brutally and grabbed the soldier's machine . Afterwards, he went running from the grand entry down a corridor attached to the wall. He would find Becka, and make sure she wasn't or injured. She mean so much to him, and so did his son that was in her womb . . .
Beno continued running and turned a corner. Two Flooders walked from the room and Beno shot them immediately. He rushed into the room they came from. There on five tables was Becka, Dan, Raptor-Rex, Vader, Tango, and JohnArnold, with three other Flooders standing around them. Beno shot them before they could react. He ran over his comrades and unstrapped them, seeing were incredibly weak and could hardly stand.
"What did they do to you?!" he asked, concerned and angry.
"It was terrible, Beno. We have to escape from here, we just have to . . ." Becka said, beginning to lead back. Beno helped hold up his beloved and rubbed her stomach.
"You're package damaged?" he asked tenderly, giving her a kiss.
"I don't think so. But I can't be sure . . ." Beno put the painful thought aside and turned to the others.
"We have to leave here now. But our plane was blasted," he told them.
"As was our mini-chopper," JohnArnold notified. "Although I saw local aircraft in an airport on the other side of the city."
"Yes, we can use those," Tango readily agreed.
"Ok we should grab these Flooders' s for ourselves," Raptor-Rex said. Everyone nodded and went to get one, except for Vader. He, on the other hand, got on top of the table and messed with the torture devices that were used on them.
"Vader, we can't waist time," Dan turned to him. Vader nevertheless stuffed some things in his pocket and then continued with the others. They proceeded down the walkway when suddenly, a huge line of Flooders came at them. They turned to run, but behind them, an equally huge group was coming their way. The soldiers surrounded the Admins and whipped the s from their hands.
Two people came out of the crowd of warriors. One was completely dressed in black and his face was shielded - Beno knew it was the man he had fought in the basement, dark memories of the encounter coming back as he grimaced. And next to the shadow figure was another familiar villain - none other than Vini the Pirate.
"I see scum likes to stick together," Beno remarked.
"The Flooders were so kind enough so as to break me out of jail," Vini laughed haughtily. "And now we've made a little deal." The shadow figure threw Becka at Vini and the pirate held her by the hair. In anger, Beno went running for her but the surrounding soldiers held him back.
The shadow figure came right up to Beno's face and whispered. "You can come with me . . ." Beno just gave him a look of pure hatred and venom.
"What about Beno?" Vini yelled. "That was part of our deal: I let you have thirty percent share of my profits for a year and you give me Beno and Becka!"
"Yes," the figure finally said at realizing Beno had no intention whatsoever of joining him. "He is no longer of any use to me. Hand him over." The Flooders pushed Beno to Vini and the pirate went off with the two of them, a trail of backup soldiers behind.
"As for you five," the figure turned the other Admins, pointing his finger, "Prepare to die." At that point, the Flooder holding Vader noticed he had his hands in his pockets.
"Hey, get your hands up!" the soldier yelled. Vader whipped his hands up with two of the needles used to torture them, which he had stolen from the devices. He stabbed the Flooder and whipped his body back to take control of his . He tripped the other Flooders on the ground as his comrades yanked their s in a flash and went open firing. It affected all Flooders but the one figure in black.
The Admins turned and ran a the shadow figure pressed a panel on the wall and a pack of raptors jumped out. He signaled for them chase after the Admins and they went running away with a squeal. Dan, Vader, Raptor-Rex, JohnArnold, and Tango burst out of the building and went skidding. Above they saw the ship of Vini the Pirate take off above in the sky.
"No!" Raptor-Rex screamed. He fired up to the air in a fit of anger but his comrades forced him to continue running. They rushed out of the city, now in sight of the airport. The raptors jumped up and knocked them down to the ground. The Admins turned and fired at them, knocking them away. Raptor-Rex grabbed one of the raptors by its foot and yanked it off, making it slam onto the cement. The foot claw of the animal ripped off and Raptor-Rex grabbed it, then taking off.
Tango and the Admins jumped into the nearest available vessel and JohnArnold revved up the engine in the blink of an eye. They went rocketing into the sky, leaving the site behind. Now, away from danger, they all sat inside, panting. Vader looked down at Raptor-Rex's claw.
"At least you got a souvenir out of all this," he remarked.
On Dan's JP3 Page, they landed once again, back home. The happy members rushed to greet them, hailing Dan and giving them all hugs, relieved to see they were still alive after the defeat. "Thank you all, for your support," Dan told them as the herald came. "But now we have other important matters to attend to." Immediatly he and the Admins ran into the central dome, where several of the workers were monitoring the scanners.
One of the men at the controls turned to smile. "Dan! It's so great to have you back! We were all so worried!"
"As was I for our safety," Dan replied, patting his shoulder. "Now I need you to see if you can pick up a large transport plane in the vicinity of Tango's "‘Jurassic Park: The Toys!'" The worker typed in something and then browsed the scanners.
"I'm sorry. Nothing."
Dan's head hung low and he turned to face the his fellow fighters for peace, justice, and truth. This certainly was a bleak outcome. For a moment, everyone was silent, accepting all the defeat, all the horror of this dark day in the internet's history. But then, determination arose.
"We have to find Beno and Becka! We have to!" Raptor-Rex told him, straightening.
"Even if we have to search every single corner of the internet," Vader chimed in.
"And I'm willing to help. We owe our lives to Beno," Tango joined along.
JohnArnold nodded in agreement, staring at Dan. "We will find him. We will find him . . ."
THE END
(Written by Vader)
ICEBREAKER: Does this story relate at all to the upcoming Attack of the Clones?
VADER: None whatsoever. The Flooders Strike Back has elements that mirror mostly The Empire Strikes Back. There is nothing in The Flooders Strike Back that is similar to AOTC really.
I: When did you really begin developing a story line for this second story?
V: About a week after the original Site Wars. I wasn't sure if I should really go through with writing a sequel in the beginning, but I formed and idea for it. I decided finally that if I were to do a sequel, I would make it just as good, if not better, than the original fic. So that's when I began writing it in the beginning.
I: Did you expect it to be as well accepted as the original?
V: To tell you the truth, I'm never really sure what exactly to expect in terms of feedback when I release my fics. I leave it up to everyone else to form their own opinion, but I knew that I liked TFSB even more than the original myself.
I: Tell us your reaction when this story first showed signs of being good as the original.
V: Well, I guess that would be when people started commenting that it was as good as the original, right? Again, I was pleased. I knew from the start that I liked this one better than the original, but I didn't know what anyone else would think.
I: Did this story undergo and MAJOR changes throughout its development?
V: In the original writing of the story, no major changes were made. But when I revised the entire saga recently, I added in a sequence of Beno-Yo and Becka being chased into an advertisement feild.
I: Did you have any alternate titles?
V: Nope. I did have alternate titles for Episode III and Episode V, but not for this one.
I: How did you approach this style of writing (the script format when it was orignally released)?
V: Script format was what everyone (writers) was doing at the time, so I went along with the flow and I regret writing it that way originally. That's why I've revised it into novel format. I really feel that novel format lets you express the emotions of the characters and the depth of the story WAY better than in script format. But originally, I just wrote in script.
