Chapter Text
Hydrogen chained leaked through the vents, all throughout the complex of the downstairs.
Dinosaurs bellowed, roared, or screeched, swaying a bit in their cages, as their lungs screaming for the fresh air the gas couldn't supply them with.
They were all dying, being suffocated from the inside out.
Claire, Owen and Maisie stepped inside the control room with Zia and Franklin following behind.
A look of horror spread across Claire's face when she saw the gas, and the suffering animals. "They're all dying..."
"The blast damaged the ventilation system. We did everything we could..." Zia responded, frowning in defeat.
Claire looked at the control panel in front of her. "I can open the gates from here!"
"Claire...be careful...we're not on an island anymore..." Owen said warily, as the dinosaur activist pressed a button on the control panel labeled CAGE 01.
The gates to the cage containing an Ankylosaurus were raised, freeing it from its prison. It waddled out, grunting and mooing, shaking its head. Its armored back hit the top of the raising door, as it refused to wait for its prison to fully open in its attempt to escape it.
Claire pressed button after button, watching the caged dinosaurs look towards the barred door, watching them lift from the ground.
A mother Triceratops refused to wait for the doors to start rising. She stuck her large horns under the iron gates, forcing it up, letting her baby trot out.
An army of dinosaurs filled the entire room, and more were being freed by the minutes.
A mechanical sign showed which cages were locked or unlocked.
And half of them were unlocked, letting the dinosaurs roam free.
The five survivors looked up when they heard a loud roar.
Several of the larger dinosaurs lumbered out of their prisons, including the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
They all stumbled, dreary and ready to pass out from the hydrogen cyanide, as it contaminated their lungs.
An Apatosaurus bellowed, as it walked right through the catwalk Blue ran across in her attempt to flee the fire she had started in her escape from the laboratory, destroying it completely, as it joined the other dinosaurs in the army.
From below the control room, no human would be able to move without being trampled by the large dinosaur feet.
The cages were all open. They were all free.
This was it. They had gotten this far. They couldn't go back now.
Claire limped over to a bright red button. She flipped open its clear, plastic casing, positioning her hand over the button, ready to press it. It was now or never.
"Claire...."
Upon hearing Owen's voice, she froze.
"You press that button, there is no going back..." He warned her.
Claire felt tears collect in her eyes. "We can't let them die..."
She stared at the red button. The dinosaurs' survival was in her hands, yet she hesitated.
The risk of letting the dinosaurs loose could change the world, possibly for the worst more so than the better.
Tears blurred her vision. She pulled the plastic case over the red button. She couldn't do it. The causality rate would be too high, and other people, greedy for money, would try to capture the prehistoric beasts for their own pleasure.
