The Six Campers and The Soldier: A Camp Cretaceous Story (OC fanfiction)

Arrival

Facility Tunnels, Mantah Corp Island:

P.O.V: Kenji

After docking and unloading the dinosaurs, Dad demanded that we get the dinosaurs to the Med-Bay. Ever since we left Nublar, he has been really skittish and nervous, the only thing that I can think of that would get him like that would be that he found out the others had somehow, managed to escape. While I'm happy that they were able to get out, I'm slightly dreading what I'm, or they, are going to say when I see them again. Will they accept my apology or will they push me away, hating me for my mistakes. Walking the familiar hallways of the facility did bring back memories but they were forced when I spotted the de-powered BRADs which are scattered all over the floor.

Gazing ahead, I see Dad walk at the front of the group with Bumpy and a merc behind him, followed close by Hawkes and another mercenary, escorting Grim and the Dimorphadon, which I named Swoop. The twins are escorting Talon, while I bring up the rear with Toro. Looking at a depowered BRAD and looking back up to Toro.....I see that they have similar expressions of......deadness. The BRAD is a machine, lifeless hunk of metal but Toro was a living being and seeing his emotionless, dead eyes made me see that he is just like the robot at my feet......lifeless and......programmed. I narrow my eyes as I gaze ahead at the front of the dino convoy. "Kenji.....come here." Dad calls out, I push my thoughts away and fasten my pace, passing Toro's controller to another mercenary.

Standing next to Dad, he doesn't turn his attention to me but keeps it simply on the corridor. "Where were you?" He asks as si glance at him. "I'm sorry?" I question confusedly as he turns to me. "On the boat, I was looking for you. We need to talk." He says as I turn away from him with a shrug. "What about?" I say dryly as we come to an intersection, Dad levels his palm on my shoulder, bringing me to a stop. "I'm sure you're wondering why the Ankylosaurs is here." He says with a knowing gaze as the convoy passes us by. I glance at Bumpy before turning back to Dad. Raising my beyebrow, I silently question him on why. "Listen, I know that I said that I would leave the Ankylosaur alone but.....your friends have escaped." He says as my eyes widen at the revelation. "And from what you told me, this dinosaur is close to them......I may need to.....motivate them. In case they try something dangerous again." He says with a slight sneer. I mentally scoff at his 'reassurance'. Motivate......threaten would be the more appropriate word.

"You don't need to explain. I get it. It's just business.....and that's all that matters." I say as he turns back to me, a happy smile on his face. "I'm glad to hear that, Kenji." He says while placing a proud hand on my shoulder. "Come. We have a lot of work to do." He says before turning away and heading to the Med-Bay. When his back is turned, I let a tired sigh and follow after him. I hate every minute of this, a part of me wants to forget about all the things that he has done......or justify to them. But o know that there is no going back now, Bumpy was the line and Dad crossed it. Mae helped me see what I refused to acknowledge.......in the end, he is my dad......but that doesn't mean jack to me anymore. He never cared before.....why did I believe he would care now. I was a fool but I made a promise to fix this, no matter what has to be done......he won't hurt anyone ever again.

I got to the Med-Bay and see Dad talking to the twims. "You two, take the dinosaurs to the jungle biome and set up camp outside the compound. I shouldn't have to remind you that these assets are important. Which means that you should stop anything or anyone that gets in the way of protecting them." He says with a warning and threatening tone which snaps the mercenaries to an affirmative stance. "Yes, sir." Both of them say respectively as Dad nods and head soft towards the elevator. I go to walk away but I see the two mercs chuckle quietly before staring at me. I give a hard, cold gaze at their laughter but nonetheless walk away and to the elevator. Passing one of the large doors, a loud bang is heard as I walk by. I jump in shock at the noise but settling, soft growls and snarls are heard as I focus my hearing. A bang echoes again as the inhabitant releases a loud roar, I recongize it as Galen. I sigh at seeing another friend being locked up, and the fact that it's Galen......when Ryan finds out about this, he ain't going to be happy, not one bit. "Kenji." Dad calls out as I turn away from the large door. Hawkes, Dad and the other two mercs are already here as I enter. The doors close as we head up to the compound.
