Chapter 6
Somewhere in the Jungle...
There were two students that are looking for a safe place if there own. There are also survivors of the plane crash. One was Akira, and another was a random student, a male student. They both appear to be separated from their classmates and all out on their own. One was already tired of walking in circles, but the other was tireless.
Student: "Akira, we've been walking around the island for hours. There's absolutely nowhere we could go. I think we should get back."
Akira: "Look man, we'll never know unless we keep on searching. Maybe they're already there waiting."
As they were walking along the path, Akira then heard a low rumbling of something very large, and then a very loud thud vibrated its way towards them, they both noticed that the animal was walking. A 20 foot shadow moved past them. Two legs, large body and a short head. They looked both ways to see a big dinosaur. Then as soon as they entered the clearing, they saw a Tyrannosaur, no, they saw two Tyrannosaurs. The animals looked at them in perplexed, giving them a dumb stare as if amazed to see a human walking by.
Akira gasps as he saw another T-Rex coming by. The Tyrannosaurs stomp forward to confront them, and they attempt to step forward to come up with an attack.
Akira told the student to step back, but he just stood there, terrified, knowing that the T-Rex might begin the attack he knew was coming. The dinosaur snapped its head in a single swift motion and roared. The two men froze, the rexes began to walk toward them, and one was staring at the student blankly in the eye. Akira thought of something that just happened.
Akira: [thinking] "It can't see him?"
Just before the creature nudged the student with its snout and moved its head back to strike him laterally to the ground. The first T-Rex bends over and lowered its jaws towards the student's body. He was still shaking in fear and the second rex lashes in, seizing him in its teeth and tossing him out of where he was standing. The student pops up into the air between the two rexes, both their heads flash at him at the same time, and in a split-second, he disappears between their teeth. The movement was delicate, yet came accompanied with a high-pitched scream. When it lifted its head, Akira noticed the Rex had a bit of dangling bit of flesh within its mouth, it was the student's arm. Akira ran.
Akira ran as fast as he could in the jungle forest, one Tyrannosaur followed him and roared behind him. Suddenly, one of the Tyrannosaurs burst through the trees ahead of him, he ran quickly as he catches his breath.
Akira: "Dammit!"
The female Tyrannosaur darted towards him from behind, then he sees the other side of the cliff that continues the path. He tries to make a run for it while his muscles were still pumping as he was gonna make a jump, thinking that he was not gonna make it. But he jumped so high above the cliff to another. The T-Rex rises its jaws as if it was trying to chomp at him, but it missed. Akira felt lucky that he made it. He catches his breath and got up, and he was glad that he made it to the other side of the cliff. The T-Rex can't make a jump that's slightly far enough to the other side. The Tyrannosaur roared loudly and walked at the opposite direction. It turned away. Although he felt pretty bad about the student that was killed from the dinosaur. Now, Akira thought about looking for Kamijo, who he calls him 'brother'. He wondered where he could be.
Akira: "Maybe Kamijo is with the others. I'd better go look for him. I'd have to be prepared for the next attack though."
Meanwhile,
Y/N and the rest of the group were standing in a flat, sandy area lined with boulders at the sides. The flat area stretches fifty yards side to side and as far as they can see ahead. But that's not what amazes them so.
Everywhere, the sand is dotted with dinosaur skeletons. Some are huge, apatosaurs, sixty feet from head to tail tip. Others are smaller, herbivores of many different kinds. The more intact skeletons lie on their sides, their ribcages arcs of pale bone. But just as many have been ripped apart, bits of carcass tossed in every direction.
Akira: "Look, there it is!"
Y/N points. In the distance, at the far end of the streambed, they can see the skeletal remains of the workers village looming in the moonlight. They start running, tiny figures moving among the mountainous skeletons by the light of the full moon. As the group run through the dinosaur graveyard, Y/N notices the shapes around them are changing. They're not bones anymore at all, they're pipes, the animal skeletons now given over to the lifeless remains of manmade objects — twisted, rotting machinery.
Naruse: "We made it!"
They hurry over a small rise, and find themselves at the edge of what was once Isla Muerta's worker village. The size of a football field, the town is divided by a main street that's dotted on both sides by stores, residences, a gas station, etc. All the way at the far end is a large, blocky, four-story building. But the town is a mess. The hurricane that hit here must have been ferocious, for everywhere things are smashed, broken, upended. And the jungle has stepped into the breach, growing up, around, and over everything. Huge root systems snake through the street, making it almost impassable.
Kai: "It seems that the jungle is already in return."
Oribe points to the four story building that dominates the far end of the street.
Oribe: "That's gotta be the operations building! The communication center is inside!"
A light rain falls as they start down the street, double timing it, headed for the main building. Now only a hundred yards away, they're close enough to read a sign over the door — "InGen Bioengineering. We Make Your Future." The door, marking the border of the camp with the electric fence, is open. The group cautiously walks in. Inside the camp, debris is scattered all around. There are old, abandoned cars, debris from past storms that have swept the island, and overturned lights. Y/N sees that there is a large radio tower and a warehouse on the island. Various debris, including parts of vehicles and buildings, scattered on the ground. Branches of trees and other undergrowth decorate the walkway.
Y/N: "There's a radio camp. We can still get help."
A light bluish mist clouds the air, as the group runs into the camp from the main entrance, pointing their flashlights forward.
Y/N leaps up the steps to the main building, and carefully opens the moldy doors. Walking slowly into the building, Y/N shins his light around. It seems to be some sort of office, with old seats along the wall. At the other end, a bright mural decorates the wall, now covered by plant growth. Y/N jumps back slightly as he turns and faces a large drawing of a T-rex. Y/N steps back and looks at the painting, realizing the senselessness of what InGen tried to accomplish.
Y/N: (to himself, silently) "Oh geez... for a moment I thought that was a real T-Rex. (thinking) But I do wonder, can I ever see a real T-Rex flashing before my eyes?"
He hears a soft roar off in the distance. Startled, Y/N remembers what he has to
do, and turns towards the other end of the building. He forces opens another
set of doors.
Y/N went to another room along with the group, this one covered with more plant growth than the other. Broken glass and tables with un-finished scientific experiments are in a row in the middle. Kai spots what seems to be a power box, but the sign is all moldy and hard to read. He brushes off some of the moss and flips the switch below the sign.
The room buzzes to life. A light blub flashes and explodes, but most of the radio equipment seems to be working. Y/N quickly scurries to move the plant
growth and find the transmitter. Y/N turns the dial, tuning to the right
frequency.
Y/N: (to himself) "C'mon. Please pick up, please pick up."
Y/N picks up the microphone and speaks slowly into it.
Y/N: "Hello?..."
Man: (over radio) "This is the Self-Defense Force, what's your emergency?"
Y/N: "Yes, I'm calling for a.. a rescue service operation. I'm a student at Houshou Academy High School, along with my classmates that survived after a plane crash."
Man: (over radio) "Okay, what seems to be the problem?"
Y/N: "We're stranded on a hazardous island. Some of our friends were dead, and we are in mortal danger. I need you to send rescue immediately. We're on an island called 'Isla Muerta, Site C.' It's nearly 200 miles off the coast of Costa Rica."
Man: (over radio) "Okay, can I ask for your name?"
Y/N: "This is Y/N L/N."
Man: (over radio) "All right, we will be putting a rescue team, but the problem is we will arrive in exactly 2 days. So you need to survive a little longer. Just sit tight, and see if you can find anyone else who survived until we get there."
Y/N: "Yes, sir. Thank you, sir."
Y/N ends the call and turns the dial off.
Y/N: "Our SOS has officially been received so they will come immediately, but they said that the rescue operation will come in 2 days. So we need to keep on living in this island."
Oribe: "We should go back and tell them that rescue will come. But right now, it's slightly raining outside, so I think we should wait until the rain stops."
Y/N: "But we have to tell them. We don't want them to keep waiting for too long for us to tell them about the rescue. We'll just go back as fast as we can."
Kamijo: "Well I hope I won't see that monster that sprayed my face, I nearly got my face burned."
Y/N: "Don't worry, if there is another dinosaur attack, we'll be prepared."
Kai: "But it's still raining outside, are you sure that we'll make it back out there?"
Y/N: "I am, I'm not 100% sure to be honest, but it's a good idea to take a little extra caution and watch our steps around any steep drainages, along hillsides and some shorelines. Drainages around recent fire activity can be particularly unstable to mud and debris flows. Rivers can also swell unexpectedly, even late in the season, so make sure to carefully assess any creek or river crossings."
Naruse: "Roger!"
