Zia had showed us the way to the cell's control room. The carnage down here was something that I didn't expect. The lab across from us had been blown halfway to hell. A gas was making its way to the lower level, to the imprisoned dinosaurs. "What is all that?" I ask as I point out the gas. "It's hydrogen cyanide." Zia says as our eyes widen at that. "We've been trying to ventilate it but the ventilation system is down." Zia says as we all watch the dinosaurs we can see, on screen and with the naked eye, moan and groan in discomfort and pain. "They're dying." Claire says with a cracked voice. "We tried everything we could.....there's nothing we can do." Zia says with a defeated tone. "There is one way." I say as everyone looks at me. I point out the cell door controls to the left of Claire. She gasps in relief and begins trying to open them. "Claire....be careful. We're not on an island anymore." Owen says to her as she opens Evey single cell. Soon enough, massive numbers of both herbivores and carnivores begin to gather around the main hallway. Dozens of species crowd around. Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Sinoceratops, Carnotaurus, Allosaurs, Stygimoloch, Apatosaurus etc etc.
Claire finds the emergency button for the outer doors. She flips the flap open and hovers her hand over the button. "Claire.....if you do this, there is no going back." Owen says to her. I put my two cents in after him. "The world will change. For good or bad." I say to her but she doesn't turn to us. "We can't let them die." She says in a sad tone. We all watch with baited breath. Franklin is playing with his hands nervously. Yaz is comforting Maisie. Zia can't stand still. Myself and Owen just wait as Claire sits there with her hand over the button. After a few seconds.....she closes the flap over the button, making her decision. She gives a small cry of guilt as we widen out eyes at her decision. She has tried for three years to let them live and now.......it's moot. But I understand her reasoning. The ecological fallout from this would tear this world apart. These animals were isolated from the world when they were on Nublar. If they get out, live on the mainland than it won't just be Mills and Wu that will create monsters but anyone, from anywhere olaround the globe.
Claire walks over to the right as she cries, she watches the animals suffer in the cynaide but there is nothing that we can do. We can't save them and we can't let them go. Owen walks over and places his hand on Claire's shoulder, comforting her with her decision. We all walk over and watch, the last dinosaurs die. Suddenly the red balding lights go green and the doors start opening. We gasp and turn to see Maisie pushing down on the button. She looks up at us. "I had to.....they are alive....like me." She says as I realuse.....she's the only one that would have done this. She was a clone and her existence was kept secret even from herself. She knows the pain of being tapped and alone, just like these dinosaurs. She's the only one who could understand them. We all turn and watch as the dinosaurs oil on in droves as they escape into he open world. I sit down agaisnt the window as Yaz sits beside me. "What happens now?" She asks. "Everything that happens now......is on us." I say with a defeated tone. The world is never going to be the same again.
P.O.V Change: Darius
We wait for the others for about an hour. We heard shrieks and glass breaking but so far we haven't seen anyone. "Where are they?" Sammy asks as I just shrug. "I don't know." I answer her, we don't know where they are or even where that creature went. "We should head back to he loading docks, maybe that's where they come out from." Ben says as I nod at his logic. We head over to the loading dock and see Mills there with a stored bone in hand. "Get back." I say as I pull Ben behind the crate. Suddenly we feel a rumbling coming and turn to the large tram doors. The two mercenaries behind Mills turn around and duck when two Pternadons fly out and swoop at them. The front mercenary is picked up and dropped on Mills's car. "What in tarnation?" Sammy asks as the rumbling gets louder and louder and suddenly, a stampede of dinosaurs comes barreling out of the tunnel. The other merc tries to escape but is trampled by the stampeding horde. We hide as a lot of dinosaurs run past us. We hear the sound of screaming and I look over and see Mills hiding beneath the car that is slowly getting crushed under the weight of an Apatosaurus. Soo enough the last dinosaur comes out as the stampede stops. We look over the crate to see a familiar sight. Toro was standing there, sniffing around. We duck back down before making our way over to another crate, away from the Carnotaur. We look and see Mills fix his suit before gazing at the bone. Ben nudges me and points to my left. We see Rexy's head picking out of the trees as she slowly walks up behind Mills. When he bends down to pick up the bone, Rexy lunges forward and grabs hold of him. Mills screams as Rexy tries to get a better grip on the man. She bends her head down and with her foot, she rips the leg off and swallows the rest of Mills whole. Toro seeing an opportunity, grab the severed leg but Rexy was having none of it. She bashes Toro with her head, sending the smaller carnivore to the floor. Toro had enough and high tailed it outta there. Rexy makes one last snap at Toro's tail before turning and giving an almighty roar.
RRRRRRROOOOOAAAARRRER!!!
We just watch in amazement. The first T.Rex on American soil in 65 million years.....I think I'm going to cry. Rexy charges forward and steps on the stored bone. I dont know what it was but secretly, deep down, happy that is gone. "Well, that happened." Ben says as we just glower at him. "What? It did." He says and I just shake my head.
P.O.V Change: Ryan
We walk down the manison's front stairs. I notice the damage that it has suffered. What the hell happened here. We hear a screech and we jump at the sight of Blue. She walks, limply, up to the stairs but doesn't attack. "Owen." Brooklynn says in fear as he just turns. "Shh. It's ok." He says softly as he walks in front of the Velociraptor. He slowly reaches his hand out as she sniffs it. She pulls back suddenly as I jump. "Hey, come on." I hear Owen whisper as he starts caressing Blue's snout. We look on awe at the scene. A man and the most terrifying predator sharing one of cutest moments, I've ever had the pleasure to witness. "Blue come with me. I take you to a safe place." Owen says as he glances to the quarantine cage to his right. Blue follows his trajectory and loos at the cage and back to Owen. He leans his head in a 'only way' kind of look. Blue chitters and backs away from him, she runs off into the distance. Maisie breaks from Yaz's hold and runs to hug Owen. I help Yaz keep her balance as we see Blue look back and chitters before running off into the forest. Free.....once again. "That.....was......awesome!" Someone shouts as we look to our right and see Darius, Sammy, Ben and Bumpy walking up to us. Darius has a exicted look on his face and I just laugh. I make my way down with Yaz's arm slung over my shoulder. Kenji and Brooklynn walk up to us with their hands together. Darius, Sammy and Ben stand side by side. We all just stand there, looking between each of us for a good minute. I hold out my arms as everyone smiles and comes together in a group hug. "We did it, guys." I say in happiness as we break and look at Bumpy. She bellows in happiness as we all hug her head and body. We hear a call of an Anklyosaur as we look to our right and see three individuals calling out to Bumpy. She responds happily as she runs over and greets the three dinos. Ben looks on sadly as I place my hand on his shoulder. He looks at me as I smile. "We saved her.....but we can't have her." I say sadly as he nods. "I know......I'm going to miss her through." He says as we watch Bumpy leave with the other Anklyosaurs. She turns back to us and looks at Ben before giving a loud bellow of goodbye. Ben wipes a tear and waves her goodbye. The rest of us come in together and hug Ben. He cries and hugs us back.
Sometime Later: No ones P.O.V
"How many times do you have to look at the evidence?" Dr Ian Malcolm says in another court trial with the US Senate. "How many times does the point have too be made?" He asks as elsewhere the sold Allosaurs is being shipped via plane. "We're causing our own extinction. Too many red lines have been crossed." Malcolm says as he wipes his glasses before placing them back on. "And our home has fundamentally been polluted by avarice and political megalomania." As he says this, the Anklyosaur and Baryonyx are being shipped across the Arizona desert, to await their owners. "Genetic power has now been unleashed." Malcolm continues. "And now thats going to be disastrous. This change was inevitable since the moment the first dinosaur was brought back from extinction. We convinced ourselves that sudden change is something that happens outside the normal order of things...like....a car crash or its beyond our control like a fatal illness." At the same time as he talks a truck drives along the Sierra Nevada mountains road. It's passengers, Owen and Claire, along with Maisie sit in silence. Claire gasps and gestures to Owen's left and behold, three Pternadons who have made their home along the mountains.
"We don't consider, radical and irrational change that wives itself into the very fabric of existence. And I can assure you...it has." A day at the beach is ruined as a surfer falls in the tube of the wave as a massive shadow swims forward and breaches the surface. Check Mosasaurus warnings before entering the water. "It's happening now......humans and dinosaurs are going to be.....forced to coexist." Back in California, an old but still strong Tyrannosaur breaks through the fence of a zoo and roars at a male lion who roars back in challenge. Both apex predators unwilling to back down. "These creatures were here before us. And if we're not careful.....they're going to be here after. We're going have to adjust to new threats, that we can't imagine." Back home, Ryan and his friends, along with their parents (par Kenji's) gather around a table. Beers, wine and soft drinks are passed out. Ryan holds his beer for a toast. Clinks of glass sound out from the house. "We've entered a new era......welcome.....to Jurassic World." Malcolm finishes as Blue the Velociraptor races through the Californian forest before standing atop a hill, looking out at the suburb down below. A barking call echoes across the plain as the last Velociraptor declares dominion over her new home.
