Camp Cretaceous (Darius X Brooklynn)

Chapter Forty-three

Guess who's back? Back again? Fulcrum's back. Tell y'all friends. Stay home, stay safe.

Brooklynn, Sammy, Claire and Franklin had just been betrayed by Wheatly's men. They were now stuck inside the bunker with no way out. Franklin was at the computer trying to find a way out. Claire was trying the radio, calling for help. And Sammy and Brooklynn were arguing over who was supposed to be watching the bad guys.

"I was looking over Franklin's shoulder, seeing if he needed some help." Brooklynn defended.

Sammy countered, "I asked you, can you watch the guys for me? I have to go. And what did you say? Sure Sammy."

"Again, kinda busy helping Franklin." Brooklynn said.

"Will you two please stop it?" Franklin asked. "I've almost got something. There's a tunnel that leads out of here. If I can just bypass the security, we might have a way out." Everyone rushed over to look over his shoulder. A few seconds later, a red dot appeared on the screen.

"Proximity alert?" Claire read the words on the screen.

Sammy, noticing the direction it was moving, said, "It's coming this way."

"Where does that tunnel lead?" Franklin asked.

Brooklynn said, "All the tunnels are connected one way or another, and they all lead back to the Main... Park."

Everyone looked at the tunnel that they were connected with. The women got up, and looked down the tunnel. Franklin hid behind Brooklynn, saying, "Oh God, it's the T. Rex. It's the T. Rex. Oh God. T. Rex. Claire, it's the T. Rex!"

"Shut UP Franklin!" Brooklynn told him. "It's not the T. Rex. The tunnel isn't that big."

The ceiling started making a loud, sizzling noise. Looking up, the four adults saw hot lava coming down. That just freaked Franklin out even more. "Oh GOD! LAVA! LAVA!"

"Deep breaths Franklin! Stay calm!" Sammy told him. A snarl was heard behind them in the tunnel. The adults turned towards the dark tunnel. Franklin whimpered, and started backing away from the entrance. Lava fell again, revealing a dinosaur standing on two legs. It stepped out of the shadows, revealing Limbo. Franklin screamed as she roared. "See? Not a T. Rex." Sammy said in her optimistic voice.

"How is this BETTER?" Franklin yelled.

Brooklynn shared his frustration. "Really not the time Sammy!"

The four adults were pushed back against the other side. There only protection from Limbo was the strand of lava that was falling in front of them. Limbo put her head forward, trying to take a bite out of them. But a strand of lava fell on her neck, causing her to jerk her head back and shake it off.

"What do we do guys? What are we gonna do?" Franklin asked.

Brooklynn looked around, and noticed the ladder tube on the other side of the room. "The ladder!"

Sammy said, "I'll grab the chair!" and ran to where Limbo was now trying to attack. Sammy grabbed the chair, and pulled it, but Limbo bit down, and tried to pull Sammy with it, but another strand of lava fell on her back, causing the dinosaur to let go and whine in pain.

Sammy flung the chair over to Brooklynn. She held it in place as Claire climbed up. Sammy quickly followed. "Go!" Franklin said to Brooklynn, holding the chair for her. She quickly went up, and Franklin climbed after her. Claire and Sammy were struggling to open the hatch, and Franklin prematurely celebrated. "We made it! Yes!" A second later, the combined weight of Brooklynn and Franklin caused the ladder to break the lock and fall down back to the ground, leaving them unprotected from the tube.
