Cowboys and dinosaurs. Where the western world had saurian denizens as normal as six-shooters.

Randall's scowl deepened. "It seems we differ in our understanding of what constitutes cruelty to God's creatures. I have no desire to subjugate nature through force when harmony can be cultivated through ethical practices. Our goal is to empower mankind through merit, not shows of dominance."

Shaw's smile tightened slightly at the rebuke. "You paint me as some brutal slavedriver. Where does your morality stand with the hadrosaurs that pull our carriages? The Centrosaurus' ploughing your fields without pay or vacation, helpless before any whip or spur? Even the natives have already made use of Pachies (Pachycephalosaurus) to safeguard their land. A few scars mean little to creatures that dedicate their lives to man's service. These dinosaurs depend utterly on humans for survival. We could shoot them all and make this a man's world when we wanted. Oh, that's right! We did."

Dark Fangs: Forbidden Fugitives by Storming_Jay
47 parts Ongoing Mature
The Indoraptor and Indominus Rex survived their deaths, and now they both have new targets. Drake and Jae are two teenagers who were lucky enough--or unlucky enough--to observe the confidential handling of two deadly hybrid dinosaurs. Both teens feel sympathy towards the beasts and their cruel treatment, but no one will consider their protesting against the animals' abuse. The teens understand the creatures are more dangerous than they could ever imagine, but they mistakenly bond with the lethal hybrids, and create an accidental game between the dinosaurs that make them wish they'd never laid eyes on them in the first place. (Spoiler Warning for Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains heavy violence, blood, and gore. It is rated 'mature' for that sole reason.

I'll try to review them and fix them, because after writing a chapter, my eyes are kinda done with staring at a screen, so I don't catch as many errors, and I'm pretty busy with my own life right now, so I don't have a lot of time to grammar-check a chapter after I've written it.

"She's not like the other Indominus Rex, she's... not a monster, for crying out loud! She's an intelligent creature that feels empathy and deserves some kind of respect!" -------------------- Alpine Claw has been from foster home to foster home after her dad and brother's disappearance and her mother's death. It didn't help how every family she was sent to always threw her away like she wasn't a human being in the end, rendered an annoyance. Her current situation isn't any better, and there are moments she's wondered if going back to the mind-numbing systems and the orphanage would be better. Upon winning an archery competition involving a guarantee trip to a State of the Art camp on Isla Nublar as its prize, Alpine believes she's finally able to let out the breath she knew she's been holding and enjoy her break from her tormenting foster family. That is until shady experiments backfire and cause mass evacuation. Except part of those experiments resulted in the discovery of a young hybrid who imprinted on Alpine after the 14 year old witnessed the hybrid hatch-- which she wasn't supposed to. Now, alongside six other campers, Alpine must survive on the dinosaur-infested island while protecting her friends from certain death. And perhaps prioritizing the not-so-dangerous hybrid she's taken in under her care. -------------------- "We can survive, I promise. I'll make sure that you all get to go home, No Matter What."

First and foremost, this is a fanfictional revision or fanfictional reimagining of Jurassic Park 3. If you are not a fan of revisions/reimaginings, this is not the story for you. This is not an original story. It may be an original creative spin on a pre-existing story, but it is not 100% original. Please do not bring negativity here. If you do not like it, then do not read it. Ignore it. Secondly, this reimagining includes a character with alien and predator origin elements, and thus, there are AvP elements implemented into this reimagining. There is a dropship as well as Yautja technology, medicine, and a shadowed appearance of an original Yautja character I created. The time period may be in the nineteen hundreds for this reimagining, 1996 to be exact, but the AvP character has access to technology, medicine, and all other things, far beyond the nineteen hundreds. Lastly, this reimagining is part of a larger fanfictional reimagining of many sci-fi horror thriller franchises. It's mainly linked with my AvP universe I put together as the AvP character in this story is the main character of those stories. She may only be seventeen years old in this story, but she has technically lived longer than that and done a great many things before getting stranded on Isla Sorna with my main Jurassic oc. Written by Sasha Taylor of Jedi Angel Productions | Based upon the Jurassic Park 3 Screenplay by Peter Buchman, Alexander Payne, and Jim Taylor | Based upon the cinematic universe created by Steven Spielberg | Based upon characters created by Michael Crichton
