Chapter 11
PETER AND HARLEY
Gyrosphere Valley
The rolling sphere got closer towards the back fence. Some was hidden from view with trees and foliage, while other sections were in plain sight. Nothing was out of the ordinary from what the two could see. That was, until Peter spied something and stopped the gyrosphere. In front of them was a broken gate that was just gaping wide open, the beams that framed the gate had the number five at the top. Beyond the open gate, lay what looked like a perfect trail that was big enough for a gyrosphere to roll on through.
"What happened here..." Peter muttered before looking at Harley, giving the younger a small grin. "Dude, off road."
"But...they told us to go back."
"Come on, Harley. I'm just worried you're not getting the full Jurassic World experience, you know?" Peter brought up his finger, letting out a 'shhh' before they began to move forward and through the gate. Harley just shifted in his seat as the forest surrounding them on all sides, feeling anxiety bubbling up to the surface. He chewed on his bottom lip as they continued to go further.
"Okay, no." He finally spoke up. "No. Peter, Bad idea."
"Great idea." countered Peter.
"No! We're gonna get arrested. They'll shave our heads, and we're gonna have to make root beer in the toilet."
Peter gave the younger a look. "What are you talking about? We aren't gonna get arrested. Get in trouble if we're caught? Yeah, but not arrested- Hey, look."
Peter stopped and in front of them were four armor plated dinosaurs, Ankylosaurus. "Here we are. Four Ankys up close and with a much better backdrop."
"We shouldn't be here-" Harley noticed something in the reflection in front of him. "-And there's five dinosaurs."
"Come on, Harl. There's four! Look. One, two, three and four."
"Five..." Harley swallowed as he pointed at the reflection which had turned into a more designed snout with large teeth. Peter noticed the reflection and the brothers watched as it rose up higher into the air before they finally turned to look up, over their shoulder. The massive dinosaur seemed to inhale before the jaws opened and a shrieking roar bellowed from it's throat.
"Shit!" Peter quickly turned, hand grabbing at the control and their sphere was knocked away by a large, clawed foot. The Ankylosaurus were running away from the large predator, their spikes that was jutting out of their sides made the sphere roll around as it hit them. When they finally stopped spinning, they could see an unlucky Ankylosaurus standing there, bellowing defensively. Closer to them stood the predator, large and growling threateningly. Peter tried to drive out from between the two but the Ankylosaurus' tail slammed into them, causing them to skid and smack into the tree. The sphere rolled and they were upside down. Peter tried the control but it did nothing.
In front of them, the Ankylosaurus got a good his on the predator's muzzle with its tail. The predator shook it off and tried to bite the Ankylosaurus from its back, but it did nothing. The predator shrieked before draping its torso over the herbovore's back and used its massive claws to dig into the soft flesh of the smaller dinosaur's back leg, causing the Ankylosaurus to let out a whine in pain before going down on its side. It was rolled on its back and a massive, clawed foot was brought down on its stomach before powerful jaws clamped down on the dinosaur's head. A crunch sounded as the failing limbs straightened before they fell limply. Harley winced, looking away before he looked at Peter.
"We're safe in here...right?"
"Yeah...They're totally safe." A vibrating sound caught their attention, making them look down and there vibrated Peter's phone. They could see Tony's smiling face staring up at them. Peter tried to stretch out his arm to get to it. He continued to try, he was so close, he just had to...
"Peter..." came Harley's frightened voice.
"Yeah?"
"Look."
"What..." Peter looked forward and froze.
Orange colored eyes with slited pupils stared at them from beyond the glass. a secondary lid slide over the eye as it regarded them before the predator straightened up, shifting the sphere before a claw punctured through the glass in front of them and, thanks to this leverage, the predator managed to slid the sphere right where it wanted it. With another, closer look at the two, it opened its mouth wide. Teeth came through the glass and the animal lifted it up and brought the sphere down harshly against the ground, the two boys screaming inside. It did it a few times, shattering the glass behind them, which Peter noticed. As the creature lifted the sphere again, he undid his and Harley's seatbelts, making them go down and onto the ground. The sphere came down again and, thankfully, they slotted perfectly into the dead space. The Sphere was lifted again and Peter pushed Harley forward and then they were running away. They could hear the creature let out an enraged shriek and gave chase.
They ran out of the forest and through a clearing, the branches cracking and breaking behind them before the large beast burst out of the treeline. The two did look back and saw that the predator took a moment to lock onto them. They slid do a stop when they came to the edge of the waterfall before looking back at the predator that was heading straight for them, its mouth gaping as the ground shook at its every step.
"We're gonna have to jump." stated Peter.
"What? No, I-I can't."
"We have to. Are you ready?" Peter gripped onto Harley's hand as the predator got closer and closer. "One, two...three!"
They jumped, narrowly missing the jaws that were about to close around them. Cool water engulfed them as they splashed down and Peter tightened his grip on the younger's head when Harley tried to swim up to the surface. He gave Harley the signal to wait. It was only when they heard a muffled roar and a rock splashing into the water that they surfaced once more, gasping for air before swimming to the bank, mud digging under their nails and coating their arms and clothes.
"You jumped." Peter stated after a moment, making Harley look at him. A moment passed before they began to chuckle. Peter swung his arm around Harley's shoulders, bringing the younger closer and hugging him.
