FOXTROT HAD FOLLOWED THEIR scent trail to the Visitor Center. He slammed into the door, breaking it off of the hinges. It collapsed with a loud crash that made you flinch.

You came in through the back door of the Visitor Center, and you could hear the indominus on the other side, its roars and shrill cries echoing through the abandoned Main Street.

"C'mon, boy. We have to hurry," you urged him. He navigated the halls warily, but made haste as he tried to find the exit. He paused when you reached the main area of the center, and you cursed.

The hologram of a dilophosaurus was activated in the center of the room, and it caused Foxtrot to hiss and growl. He tried to pounce on it, the movement jarring you, but it confused him when he couldn't touch it.

"It's okay; just a hologram," you said, running your hand over his neck comfortingly. You guided his gaze to the large front doors, "Let's go, Foxy."

He shoved through the doors with a loud snarl, leaping down the flights of steps. He landed only a few steps away from your group, which was sandwiched between Echo and Delta. You found Blue's motionless body crumpled by a storefront.

Owen whistled, and his remaining two girls leaped into action. They charged the indominus, jumping across its body effortlessly in their attack. You used this moment to scream your brother's name, and he whipped around. The relief and awe on his face was something you never wanted to forget.

Foxtrot took you to them, and waited for you to dismount before looking between you and the raging battle. You bit your lip, touching his head lightly, then nodded. Foxtrot hissed, and charged the monster.

"I'm so glad you're okay," Owen swept you into a hug, and you welcomed the embrace.

"She's just borderline insane now," you heard Zach mumble. "It's kind of hot."

"I'm glad you're okay," Claire stifled a sob, "I thought you... that you..."

"I'm alright," you gave them a smile. Zach approached to pull you into a hug as well, but this embrace was cut short by Owen's very heated glare.

"I knew you'd be okay," he had whispered in your ear, "you're my strong girl."

"Anyway," Owen growled, stepping in between you and Zach, "Claire, get the kids to cover. I'm going to try to help the raptors as much as I can."

"Be careful," Claire frowned, but took Gray's hand as she guided you three toward a nearby shop to hunker down in.

You settled in against the wall with the others, Zach sticking extremely close to you. You watched from over the counter as the scene unfolded before you; the indominus flung Echo into another shop, hitting something flammable, and she was incinerated. You grimaced, squeezing your eyes shut. Zach wrapped his arms around you, holding you close.

That could have been Foxtrot.

"We need more teeth."

"More what?" Claire questioned, taken aback by Gray's serious expression.

"More teeth," he said, "we need more teeth."

Something dawned on Claire, you could see it on her face. Then she abruptly stood, waving her finger at the three of you, "I'll be right back. Stay right here!" and then she slid over the counter and bolted.

You watched to see where she was heading, and your jaw fell open at the realization; she was going to the t-rex paddock door. Would the t-rex--whom you'd been calling Rexy--even be able to take on the indominus? Rexy was extremely old for a dinosaur, and she'd lost a lot of weight. How would she fare against a younger and larger carnivore?
