The alarms continued to blare, the kids were running to regroup after trying to take a moment to relax. "Attention. All park-goers must report to the South Ferry Dock for immediate evacuation. The last ferry departs in two hours."

"That's it? No explanations?" Brooklynn questioned. "That's all we get?"

"Well, it is a pre-recorded message." Peter reminded her.

Darius panted as he ran over to them. "We have to move. The only way we're gonna make it is if we run."

"Um..." Sammy gestured back over towards Yaz who was struggling to run. "Are we sure that's the best way to get there?"

Yasmina grunted as she ran up to them. "I'm fine." She stated, lifting her injured leg. "I've competed with a torn ACL." She then gestured off to Ben and Bumpy who ran up to them. "You should be way more worried about Ben and Bumpy."

Ben was panting as he struggled to run at their speed. "What we should all be worried about is catching a boat out of here and, naturally, we have a problem." He stated, revealing he had a map in his pouch.

"Did you get that pouch from Bloofy?" Peter asked him.

Brooklynn was confused by the reference. "That old preschool show?"

"What can I say? It lives as a core memory in my head," Peter shrugged. "That catchy tune..."

Ben then laid out the map, showing them where they were. "We're here. The docks are on the southern tip of the island." He gestured to the tip of the island. "Even if we ran at peak Yaz or Peter's speed, there's no way we'd make the last boat out."

"You don't know that," Sammy said, trying to look on the bright side.

Ben scoffs. "Yes, I do. I memorized the evacuation plan on the ferry ride over."

Everyone groaned when they heard that.

"Okay, so we need another way," Darius said, trying to come up with an idea, looking at the kayaks. "Um... can we use those somehow? Or send someone to tell the ferry people to wait? Or..."

"Or make a few jetpacks real quick?" Brooklynn asked sarcastically. "Oh! We should befriend a unicorn! Face it. It's hopeless."

"I'm reluctant to admit it, but yes... there's no way we'll make it to the ferry even if we left right now, especially not with..." Peter gestured subtly towards Yaz and Ben. "...certain factors at play."

"I saw that," Yaz stated.

That was when another voice called out: "We will be arriving at Main Street." That got them to look off to see that the monorail was still functioning and even heading towards their location. "Your destination for fine dining and shopping at Jurassic World. Followed by stops at the Jurassic World Lagoon and the South Ferry Dock."

"Monorail, what-what!" Kenji cheered.

"Mm, nicely played, Universe," Brooklynn complimented.

"Nice to have a break for once!" Peter cried out, his fist bawling out to the sky.

Darius began to lead the way as they ran off. "Hurry! We gotta move!"

Everyone ran up the stairway as the monorail was going to make a stop right near their location. The monorail went all over the park but they were near one of the furthest stops before heading for the docks. They needed to hurry if they were going to make it. As they were running for the monorail, they were missing the fact Yaz and Ben were having trouble keeping up due to their incapabilities.

"It's nice havin' some company back here for once," Ben said to Yaz.

Yaz grunted as she was pushing herself the best she could. "I'm fine."
