The troops were silent as they moved through the forest, guns pointed ahead of them. Each step was calculated, and movement precise as they moved deeper into the thicket. Henry gazed out at the group as he rode in the vehicle that held the indoraptor, as it rocked back and forth with each hit.

"That thing is going to hurt itself." The driver hissed before glancing at the two four wheelers beside the vehicle.

"It will call out to the hatchlings when we get close." Henry stated before glancing at his map of the island. "Such a waste." Henry mumbled, noticing the small scribbles made by Maisie before he folded the map back up. "Shouldn't be too hard." The vehicle rattled as the cage shifted again, the thing was getting on Henry's nerves.

A crackle came from the radio in between them as the driver snatched up the device. It was the scouting team radioing back, hopefully with some information about the location of those hatchlings.

"Get back to the boat! I repeat get back to t-" A scream echoed from the device as the driver hit the brake and started to turn the vehicle around.

"What are you doing!" Henry roared, his anger boiling over.

"They sai-"

"I don't care what they said! We aren't leaving this island without those hatchlings!" Henry snapped as the man gave a small nod before continuing forward with the people around them moving. Henry settled again in his seat, his attention returning to the map. There should be a large lake ahead, somewhere. He took notice of the troops in front of him, realizing they had stopped, their guns pointed forward as the vehicle came to a halt.

"What's going on?" Henry asked as the man held up his hand ordering for silence. He gazed out of the open window as a faint shake rattled the bottles in the holders. The water rippled and sputtered the metal on the vehicle shook with each step.

"That is a big dinosaur." The driver muttered before slowly opening the driver's door and stepping out. Pulling the gun to his side he joined the others pointing in the direction of the thundering foot falls. A low rumble echoes along the trees, the birds going silent until only the booming noise was all that could be heard. The troops shook as the noise grew louder and the glow of bright yellow eyes shone in the darkness of the canopy. Razor white teeth glittered in the sunlight as the rex stepped forward the ground quaking with the step.

"Shoot it!" Henry ordered as the rex took another stride forward but no one moved, no bullets rang out. The towering rex stared down at them, a low snarl escaping the carnivore.

Chirps rattled through the air, as another thundering noise rolled through the jungle. It took Henry a few moments to realize what it actually was.

"Get to cover!" The driver shouted before the tyrannosaurus rex charged forward snatching up a soldier in her jaws. Gunfire started but the bullets flew wildly hitting nothing as the guns rang off in a panic. A few bullets struck the rex, getting her to drop the person she had snatched before backing off away from the group of soldiers.

The roaring of footsteps echoed as the herd of gallimimus raced into the tree line, ripping and tearing the ground underneath them. At least a hundred galli's charged into and around the people, knocking many to the ground and tramplings the handful of people that couldn't get out of the way. Roars from the triceratops echoed over top of the chirping herbivores, the vehicle rocked as the dinosaurs bumped and rammed into the truck.

"Shit." Henry growled as he reached into the backseat grabbing the gun from behind him. Another boom hit the side of the vehicle as the tail of a baryonyx came into view, and the doctor climbed over the seat to the driver's side before getting out. A screech of metal sounded from the cage behind him but he didn't pay it any mind instead racing into the herd of dinosaurs trying to get to some safety.
