The Clones Return (Chapter 1)
By Vader
Episode VI
THE CLONES RETURN
Fear had besieged the Internet. The all-powerful Flooders have finished the building of a brand- new clone machinery on UFX and moved it to their headquarters at Dan's JP3 Page, which was at one time the center of a just and peaceful government.
Meanwhile, the Admins and AcroIguana's smugglers have formed a United League, bringing dozens of other sites into the fight against the Flooders and preparing for a return to the Flooder headquarters in an epic battle.
Before venturing out to try a defeat the Flooders one last time, JohnArnold is about to accompany River and Para to JPDatabase in hopes to reunite with their old friends and request their help in restoring peace and order to the Internet . . . .
A battered, green mini-chopper soared through the night sky and the stars that were sprawled across it. The vehicle zoomed downward, towards a site covered with tiny, glowing lights from the cities upon it. It entered the atmosphere and zoomed over the rolling hills, villages, towns, and cities. It finally dropped at the end of the capitol onto a landing pad, steam shooting out of vents as the landing gear uncurled and softly laid down on the cement.
The hatch of the chopper opened and a two robed figure exited, their hair blowing in the wind. Ahead of them was a large terrace, and behind it an even larger mansion. Another figure came towards them. He was in a purple outfit with ruby red robes blowing in the wind behind him. He came up to the others and shook their hands. "Count AcroIguana, good to see you again. How has the situation held up here?" one of the robed figures asked.
"You don't need to address me as count, Raptor-Rex, I already told you," Acro smiled. "I have contacted other members of the United League. We've arranged for a secret meeting to discuss our plans to return to Dan's JP3 Page. How was the mission to grinch's old site?"
The name of now ed Admin struck feelings of remorse into Raptor-Rex and Vader once again. In the fight against the Flooders, so many of their lifelong friends had died. Now, only four of the original Admin order were left. Vader drove the harsh feelings away and replied, "It went very well. We managed to hold off the Flooders from colonizing . . . this time. Another attempt could overwhelm us though. Is Para alright?" Acro sighed.
"For now. JohnArnold and River decided to take a trip to JPDatabase t recruit some of their old friends. Apparently, they are very good friends if they are willing to go through all the trouble of evading the Flooders on that site. You are just in time to say goodbye to them," Acro replied. He sighed again. "But what worries me is that Para is insisting to go, even in her condition. We've all stressed to her how dangerous it would be, but she isn't changing her mind. She's fixed on going to JPDatabase." This worried the Admins very much.
Suddenly, another figure came running out to Acro. It was SamFan, the right hand istant of the smuggler-turned-count. "Acro! Para's starting to give birth! Come quick!" she called with out saying hello. Immediately, they all rushed to follow SamFan.
Para lay flat on her bed in the hospital room, covered in sweat and breathing heavily, with River by her side. To Para, although very much looking forward to loving and caring for the humans that her and River created, thought that this was bad timing. She was just about to leave to help her husband and John and now she was stuck to bed. She wished that her infants could be born at a time that wasn't so important to the fate of the galaxy. Nevertheless, it wouldn't mean a thing to her once the babies were born. She would love it so much to be able to hold their warm, tiny bodies in her arms and to comfort them.
River hunched over his wife. When he looked at her stomach, he was used to seeing an extremely muscular, flexing set of beautiful abs on Para. But instead, he saw an enlarged womb, carrying the babies that would soon be his. It was so wonderful to him to know that because of his and Para's love, she was about to bring two new lives into the world.
Suddenly, the doctor came into the room. His name was AlanGrant5, and was actually a very helpful warrior in the newly formed United League that the Admins and AcroIguana had started. Still, he had a masters degree in the Medical Academy of the Middle Rim of the Internet. "Alright. River, if you can just stand back for a moment, please?" Alan smiled, putting on his medical gloves as Para began to breathe heavily. She cringed as a sudden surge of dull pain was felt.
River backed up, holding her shoulder for comfort. AlanGrant5 bent down with his mind focused on the current situation. "It's beginning to come out. I can see the head," he informed the parents. He sighed, and then turned to them with a straight face. "Okay, I want to breathe steady and heavily. And then push. Don't get too tired, if you feel you have to rest for just a moment, take a few seconds, and then push again. Understand?" he asked. Para just nodded. She heaved once more, sealing her eyelids shut.
For a moment, she could almost feel the baby's fear, as if she were somehow connected to it. She knew it was coming into a bright new world, so big and so vast, filled with many dangers. But she would be there for the child, and she always would be. She opened her eyes once again, looking up at River.
As River looked down upon his radiantly beautiful wife, somehow, the whole situation reminded him of an occurrence a long, long time ago. As he struggled with his new hazy memory, he managed remember vividly what had happened. He had first seen the new world such a long time ago, and he remembered looking up at his mother. She was in chains, and they were in room full of wooden walls. It seemed as the ground swayed back and forth, as if the sea were under them. He remembered that behind her, there was many disgusting figures, including one big fat person on a throne. That fat man had tugged on his chain and ripped his mother backwards. He was dropped into the hands of an armored man, crying. He watched as his mother was brought over to lay beside the man as she yelled, "No Vini!". And then his memory seemed to flash forward, as he had looked up into his father's eyes for the first time. He remembered how everyone had been rescued, but the highlight of it was staring up into his father's eyes that first time.
That had been so special. Yet River never knew what happened to his father after that. He had been told by the Admins that he had been detained inside the Flooder fleet. They said that his father had somehow been ed, and that River had somehow survived whatever happened. All he knew was that the Flooders had torn his father away from him, and he would probably never see his dad again. His fist curled as he got a surge of anger against the Flooders. All those lies, all those horrible lies.
"River!" Para smiled, as AlanGrant5 gently placed her small, baby, wrapped in a bundle of white clothe, into his mother's arms. "River look at her! She is so beautiful!" The baby's little fingers curled over the clothe as the space between it's sleepy eye lids revealed its large eyes, staring up at its parents. That moment, as River looked down at his daughter, had suddenly changed his world. All in one magical second, it had changed everything. This was his very own child, the most wonderful feeling he had ever known. This perfect, beautiful being filled with new-born life was brought into a world filled with - war, just as River had been so long ago. Within his mind, he made a single resolve. He would not reveal that resolve to anyone at that moment, but he was determined to meet it.
"I can't say how happy I am, Para," he smiled as a tear appeared in his eyes.
"What should we call her?" River thought, long and hard. Was there a name beautiful enough to fit her at all? Could words possibly describe that moment? She was a gem to them, and how could she be known as anything else? And then he remembered that one word that meant "gem" in the language of the people of Gondolend. He remembered the word, how he learned it so long ago. "Enella".
"What about Enella?"
"It's perfect," Para smiled. And it really was.
At that moment, Vader and Raptor-Rex raced in with AcroIguana and SamFan at their side. They needn't ask any questions, for they just took in that sight of River and Para holding their heartwarming child in their arms. JohnArnold walked in just a second later to see the same sight. The life-long friends came together in a circle, and just stood there, gazing in silence.
River and Para stood together looking through glass at their infant. She was currently having a medical checkup taken on her by AlanGrant5. They still hadn't gotten over all the mixed feelings and emotions that they had been arded with. Love. Wonders. Worries. Doubts. Fears. They knew it was going to take a lot to raise their child, especially in the war-torn internet. But they weren't going to let that stop them. River squeezed Para's shoulder ly, and she looked up at him. They both had the same determination now. One will.
"River?" a voice from behind rang out. The two parents turned to see JohnArnold coming towards them with a smile on his face. "Hey, I can't tell you how happy I am for you. Congratulations, a thousand times," he shook both of their hands. "But I'm afraid that if we are to leave for the mission to JPDatabase, we'll have to leave right away. My plan for getting inside to rescue my friends can only go into effect if it goes along with shuttle systems and guard shafts they have. I'm geared up to go now."
John then paused. "But listen, River. You just had a baby, and I'd completely understand if you wanted to stay here with her," the pilot added.
"No, no, I want to go with you. You'll need all the help you can get. And most everyone else is busy planning our next attack move," River replied with urance. He then slowly turned to Para, as a thought came to him. He looked at her with loving eyes, as if trying to tell her something without actually saying it. He leaned over and kissed seductively kissed her on the lips.
"I'll be back in a day, Pa-"
"No! I'm still coming with you two! I'm not going to leave you in that much of a dangerous situation now! I'm going with you to help out. The more people, the smoother it'll go," Para said firmly, looking at her husband with determination.
"But you should stay here with her," River said, motioning to their child.
"I'll only be gone for a day. I love her so much River, but I love you too! You're not going to into a fire-frenzy situation without me to back you up." Para's mind was obviously firmly set, and nothing was going to change it. River slowly glanced back at JohnArnold, who just shrugged. Now, it was certain that three would be going.
Vader and Raptor-Rex walked with JohnArnold, River, and Para out across the vehicle docking station. Para carried Enella, nuzzling her as they walked through a series of bullet-proof doors into a secure loading station in the more secret area of the vast station. Before them, glistening in the sunlight, was a newly made, stolen Flooder vehicle. It's sleek, curved design had a grey underbelly, and aqua green front, and tan colored wings. This would be their transport into JPDatabase, which was now entirely under Flooder control.
Para carefully turned and placed Enella into Vader's arms, kissing the sleeping baby on the forehead. River smiled at her lovingly, gazing at the sleeping angel. He then looked up and patted Vader and Raptor-Rex on the shoulders. "Take care of her, okay? We'll be back soon," he smiled. The Admins nodded as they waved goodbye.
JohnArnold leapt into the pilot seat, the favorite place he always loved to be, as River and Para closed the hatch to the Flooder vehicle behind them. As he flipped on the controls, he thoughts rested on his old friends back at JPDatabase, the place where he had been born. He had so many friends there that he hadn't seen in so long. A few of them had become mad when he'd left for Dan's JP3 Page to originate the Admin fleet, just as SamFan had been. But others had understood him completely, and he'd had their blessing.
One thing he knew as they took off in the stolen vehicle, leaving jurassicpark.com behind, was that there would definitely be many, many mixed reactions when he returned to his home world.
