The Best Of Both: Camp Cretaceous OC

Active Pursuit

The voices of everyone who had been saved from the Pyroraptor called out over the snow covered valley. They split off from each other, taking different sides and checking for any signs of life down under the snow.

Gia went straight for the nearest snowmobile she could see, which had half of it still sticking up out of the snow. By her feet, Smoothie followed her, chirping out, as if calling for the buried campers just like everyone else.

"Kenji! Sammy!" Gia shouted, hoping that she'd get some kind of response. "Please. Answer me".

Smoothie moved over to a small mound in the snow. He sniffed the ground and used his tiny feet to a dig a small hole in the ground, then stuck his face inside. A moment later, he remerged from the hole, screeching at Gia and batting the thick snow with his tiny tail. 

Gia looked over and ran to the mound. "Kenji! Sammy!" She called again.

"We're down here!" A muffled voice shouted back from under the snow.

"Hold on!" Gia gasped, turning to every other person nearby. "They're over here! Help me!" She fell to her knees and grabbed fistfuls of the snow and throwing it away from the mound. Luckily,, she only had to dig for a little bit before a small layer fell away, revealing half of Kenji's. His eye opened and looked at her, smiling as he shivered from the cold. "We're getting you out of there".

A groan sounded off next to Kenji and Gia got to work on that side, quickly unearthing the face of Sammy. It was then that more people arrived, taking their place beside her and quickly getting to work on digging them out.

Kenji shivered again, only hoping that they got them out quickly.

"Run!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

Franklin, Ben, Max, Yasmina and Darius swerved around the next corner and took off down the next tunnel, hearing the thundering footsteps of the Dinosaur stampede directly behind them. No matter how many corners they turned, how many twists they made, the Dinosaur tidal wave only got closer.

"Just like old times, right, buddy?" Max yelled over the noise.

"I hoped I'd never have to be in a situation like this ever again!" Franklin cried as he kept running, looking over his shoulder and letting out a yelp of fright at the Dinosaurs directly behind them.

"Alcove up ahead!" Yasmina pointed to everyone's right, to where a small alcove in the tunnel allowed for cover. Yasmina shoved Franklin into it while the others dove in themselves, rolling onto their backs and scrambling behind a stack of crates, watching the stampede blow right past them. "What the hell is going on?"

"Something must've gone sideways with the bust," Max replied.

"We need to find Brooklynn and the Handler," Darius said, more to himself than anyone else.

"With all this? I doubt they're still down here," Franklin pointed out.

Before Darius could say anything more, come up with a new plan or rethink their options, he heard a loud thud against one of the crates he was leaning against. "Did you hear that?" He asked.

"What? You mean the killer Dinosaur stampede?" Franklin hissed.

"No, it's like a...," Darius drifted off as he heard noise, a low humming sound coming from inside the crates. "A humming?" He pressed his ear to one of the crates, hearing the humming sound again, louder this time. Though now, it sounded more like... buzzing?

A loud bellow caught their attention, making everyone turn their heads and seeing a rogue Torosaurus running down the tunnel, coming their way. They ducked back, pressing themselves up against the walls as the Triceratops cousin charged through the crates, knocking several stacks of them to the ground, their lids popping off.
