Shaky Ground
"Earthquake!" Darius yelled as the island continued shaking. Yaz and Patrick held each other tightly as branches began falling around them, the irritation on Patrick's leg increased.
After when felt like an eternity, the earthquake finally ceased and the group managed to regain their composure. However, the Rexes still roared irritated confusing Patrick.
"It's over, what's got them upset?" Patrick asked as Yaz helped him stand.
"We need to deactivate the drones." Darius said. "It'll stay here and use Mae's tablet to try and calm them down."
"Got it. We'll take a detour to the med, see if we can find something for Pat's leg." Yaz said as Sammy handed Patrick a large branch. Patrick nodded gratefully and tucked the branch under his arm using it as a walking stick.
"Thanks." Patrick said as the group made their way towards the compound.
Isla Nublar
On Isla Nublar, the bushes rustled as three different figures entered a clear.
Brand Bowmen, Roxie and Dave.
"Darius!" Brand yelled.
"Quiet!" Dave hissed harshly. "We don't know what's out there..."
"What Dave means..." Roxie said glaring at Dave. "Is that your yelling is alerting every dinosaur. We get it Brand."
"Got it." Brand said before walking into the bushes. Roxie turned and glared at Dave who tended to his tranq gun.
"You okay tough guy?" Roxie asked.
"I'm fine Rox." Dave assured. "Just tired of baby sitting Bowmen. We should be..."
"I know how you're feeling Dave..." Roxie assured only for Dave to stand up glaring at her.
"Oh, so you had a nephew you abandoned here? One you left to die?" Dave asked. Roxie was about to respond the sound of a high-pitched roar and Brand screaming grabbed their attention.
Mantah Corp
Once the group entered Kash's office, Brooklyn immediately made her way to the computer, followed by Ben and Sammy while Yaz began search for something to wrap Patrick's leg. Once Patrick limped inside she looked up at him smiling.
"How's the phantom pain?" Yaz asked sounding concerned.
"Better." Patrick answered plainly as Yaz held up a bandage warp.
"Mr. Kon and Mr. Palmer are smart as they are evil. It's how they have Kenji fooled." Brooklyn said causing Yaz to glare at her.
"Have him fooled?" Yaz demanded only for Patrick to grab her shoulder, causing her to calm down.
"Brooklyn..." Sammy interjected as Brooklyn shut down the drone. "Mr. Kon's a bad guy, but its not like he forced Kenji to do what he did..."
"Guys!" Brooklyn interrupted as Yaz finished wrapping Patrick's thigh. "Look at this. Remember the beacon we activated on Nublar? Mantah Corp are the ones who received it. And Mr. Kon didn't do anything about it!"
"Wait, if it reached all the way over here, any chance we could reverse it?" Sammy asked.
"What do you mean?" Ben asked.
"There was a drone I used to sent my spy stuff here on Nublar." Sammy explained.
"And we could use it to keep an on Mr. Kon and Palmer." Brooklyn said as she began typing on the keyboard. A few seconds later, a live recording displayed on the screen revealing a jungle of sorts. Brooklyn typed more causing the drone to fly around Nublar.
A few minutes later, she reached Kenji's penthouse where Pamler, Mae and Kon had gathered around the clearing. Suddenly, the bushes rustled, and a large very familiar dinosaur stepped out, Kenji standing next to it, holding a controller.
"Toro?" Patrick asked horrified. Kenji smiled as Mr. Palmer clamped ha hand on his shoulder. Brooklyn's eyes widen as Kenji laughed. He laughed with the man who abused their friend... her brotherly figure... The man who destroyed Patrick's mental health... the man...
Seeing enough, she Patrick rushed out as fast as he could, Yaz following.
"Patrick!" Yaz said causing Patrick to stop. He turned to face his girlfriend, who gently held his hands. "You're strong. Okay? You'll get through this. Okay?"
Patrick nodded when suddenly, the sound of Brooklyn yelled and throwing stuff in the living room. The two entered to see her one the ground, tears forming in her eyes.
"He... he was controlling Toro, and smiling..." Brooklyn whispered causing Patrick to lower himself to her and hug her. "I'm so sorry Pat... I should've... I should've accepted it sooner..."
"It's okay." Patrick assured ass Ben and Sammy entered the room. "We'll stop Mr. Kon and Palmer."
"And Kenji." Brooklyn said. "He... he chose his side."
Suddenly, the ground began to shake shake causing the group to gasp and slide under the table, Yaz wrapping her arms around Patrick in a protective manner.
"Aftershocks?!" Ben questioned.
"This is way worse than the first one!" Patrick yelled wrapping his arms around Yaz.
A few minutes later, the quaking ceased allowing the teens to sigh in relief. Brooklyn took out the tablet and gasped in horror.
Timeskip
Darius kneeled in front of Big Eatie, who was held down by a tree collapsed on her neck. She let out a weak defiant roar as Darius got closer.
"It's okay..." Darius said when suddenly, the glider from the snow biome drove towards them.
Darius smiled as Yaz hopped out of the drivers seat, grabbing the winch on the bumper and wrapped it around the tree. She waved her arms giving a thumbs up. Brooklyn nodded and began to back the glider away, removing the tree off the Rex. Once the Rex was free, she walked away uninterested in the glider. Patrick, Sammy, Brooklyn and Ben all exited the glider smiling.
Yaz meanwhile, walked up to Patrick with a somber expression.
"I'm sorry..." Yaz whispered confusing Patrick.
"What?" Patrick questioned gaining everyone's attention.
"I... I promised... I promised he wouldn't hurt you..." Yaz whispered, lightly crying. "And now, Kenji... your leg..."
"Hey." Patrick whispered grabbing her face. "Kenji's the one who failed. He's the one who did this. Not you."
Patrick sat on a nearby log, looking up at his friends.
"Thank you. All of you." Patrick said causing the group to smile. "For giving me a place to belong."
