18 Chapter 16: Dino attack
[General Report].
A year has passed since the third energy accident on ibis island. A government agency has taken over Dr. Kirk's investigation of the third energy, working intensively at a base located in the Midwest.
However... In their quest for immediate results they have not taken the necessary precautions and again an accident has occurred.
This time the entire base, military buildings and a small town have disappeared. In their place is a jungle from another era...
....
[General POV]
The midday sun filtered through the dense jungle, painting glints of light on the giant leaves that swayed gently in the tropical breeze. Among the towering trees, bear-sized dragonflies flew gracefully, their wings shimmering in iridescent hues under the sun's rays.
In this seemingly peaceful scene, the unmistakable hum of these colossal dragonflies filled the air.
As they flew gracefully over the sea their calm was interrupted when an abrupt distortion in space-time shook their tranquility. The dragonflies, warned by their animal instinct, abruptly changed their flight path.
Auge!
A military patrol vessel emerged from that distortion of space-time, shaking the calm sea. As the ship advanced towards the land, it could be observed how military men came out of the ship and began to move in order to disembark.
Among the people who came out was a man of athletic and robust constitution, with short hair and a look that denotes self-confidence. He is dressed in typical military attire, with a bulletproof vest, tactical pants and boots, reflecting his preparation for combat situations.
The man's name is Dylan Morton, the lieutenant in charge of the special military group T.R.A.T., as well as one of the playable protagonists in Dino Crisis 2.
Behind him a muscular man with a cowboy hat and a clothing that did not contrast with the others, since he was wearing a tank top and his military pants. This man was Dylan's best friend and right hand man, his name is David.
A carefree man who does not take missions seriously, but when civilians or his best friend are in danger he does not hesitate to take the lead and if necessary sacrifice himself for the good of others.
....
[Dylan POV]
May 10, 2010. I cross a portal to another time or maybe it's another world. I am sent with the other T.R.A.T. members.
Our mission is to rescue 1300 survivors and collect data from the third energy project.
Looking behind me I can see how a special agent sent to advise us on the mission came out, apparently this agent already has experience dealing with the aftermath of the third energy.
I don't even know her, that's why I was surprised when we were informed that she would be our advisor in this mission. She is a beautiful woman, as my best friend David would say "Redheaded beauties I wish would burn me."
Not surprisingly, many tried to get her attention, but the woman is different from those I know. She doesn't go in for superficial flattery or attempts at conquest. She is very aloof with everyone and only speaks up when necessary.
"I wonder what experiences she's had to develop that emotional armor" I mutter under my breath. I wouldn't be surprised if he had been through a lot in this type of operation.
Despite her aloof and cold attitude many kept trying to invite her to dinner, but she outright and cruelly turned them down, I had to console David with a few drinks to improve his mood from the harsh rejection he received.
Looking at the necklace she wears and the way she looks at him lovingly from time to time, I wonder "What kind of man could have gotten into this woman's heart?" Certainly if I ever found the man who could steal this cold and distant woman's heart I would buy her a whole canteen.
[Meanwhile in a military facility]
Achu!
"Who could be talking about me? Maybe Regina is remembering me? Well anyway, I'll meet her sooner or later" Axel said while inspecting the place.
...
[Going back to Dylan]
Leaving Regina's sight I turned around and with a pair of binoculars he could see that there was a dock "The perfect place to disembark. Set a course to the dock! That's where we'll disembark!" I shouted to the boat pilots.
Arriving at the dock we all set off to get our gear to make camp on the perimeter near the dock.
It was a large open space, a perfect place to set up camp, we would have a clear view all around us in case of any abnormalities. After a few hours, we managed to set up the tents.
Unfortunately all the noise we made attracted the attention of some predators that would make this mission go to hell.
....
[General POV]
You could see how many T.R.A.T soldiers were moving around the camp. Some were talking over a table, inspecting a map over the city, others were moving supplies. Overall, they were making a lot of noise, something that would attract several predators.
"Hey Peter! Go get a shovel and get digging so we can place some berries around the camp" said one of the soldiers as he inspected a map of Edward City.
"Damn it! Why does it always have to be me?" grumbled Peter as he proceeded to go get a shovel.
At the edge of the camp, near the entrance to the forest Peter could be seen digging, when a noise in the undergrowth surrounding the trees caught his attention.
"Huh? What's that?" he wondered, as he noticed a tail moving through the undergrowth. To Peter's misfortune he could only scream as a beast pounced on him.
"Aaaaah!!!"
A shrill scream was heard, putting everyone in the camp on alert, especially Regina, who just at the moment she heard the scream was already prepared with a machine gun.
When they went to the place where the scream came from, all the team was surprised, since a velociraptor was grabbing Peter's dead body by the foot. At that moment everyone prepared their weapons.
In a matter of seconds all hell broke loose in the camp, a herd of velociraptors came out of the depths of the forest rushing towards the team members.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A hail of bullets rained down on the raptors killing many of them, however, when overwhelmed by the amount of velociraptors the group began to break the line of defense they made, causing some of them to scatter, being easy targets for the raptors, and the team members died little by little.
While retreating, Dylan found himself back to back with Regina, both easily killing the raptors, Dylan with his modified shotgun, blasting the raptors from the shot, while Regina with precision from her machine gun killed the raptors that approached her.
With a helpless look on his face, Dylan watched as several members of his team were eaten by the fearsome beasts. As the raptors were about to overwhelm them earth-shaking footsteps caused the raptors to raise their heads and look into the forest in terror, then flee the camp.
"Oh shit! This is bad, we have to get back to the boat" Regina said to Dylan. She knew what was coming, those earth shaking footsteps reminded her of what happened on ibis island.
"What are you talking about?" was the only thing that could come out of Dyla's mouth, as she was then shocked to see the surrounding trees fall, to later show a magnificent T-rex that was attracted by the noise of the gunshots.
Looking at the familiar creature, Regina began to shoot it, while Dylan from shock fell on his buttocks, the T-rex ignoring the gunshots approached them ready to devour them.
Regina backed away while pulling Dylan to get up. When they were close to them the T-rex opened its jaws to eat them.
"Eat this!"
David was heard to shout, as he fired with a basuca, the missile shot out tracing a trajectory towards the colossal beast.
Boom!
Approaching at high speed the missile hit right in the eye of the fearsome beast, hurting it and leaving it stunned for a few moments.
"Yeah!!!" Dylan celebrated and then heard Regina's voice urging him to run. "This is no time to party! Just run!" Heeding her he proceeded to run along with her to flee from the fearsome beast.
As they ran they heard behind them as the T-rex recovered from his daze roared fiercely, angry at these little creatures who managed to hurt him and blind him in one eye.
Getting nervous as they watched out of the corner of their eyes as the T-rex with speed chased them and crushed everything in its path.
Running through the jungle, they watched in fear as the fearsome beast rapidly approached them, when they reached a cliff they stopped for a moment, watching as the T-rex approached they decided to jump.
If they had taken a few seconds to jump they would have been devoured, since just as they jumped the T-rex bit the place where they were, not feeling anything the T-rex roared in frustration.
After falling from the cliff, both found themselves near the dock. Reincorporating from the fall Dylan made a sneering comment "phew! So this is a Cretaceous style welcome. I wasn't expecting such a welcome." He had learned in his years of service that a humorous comment about the situation would make him relax a bit.
Ignoring his comment, Regina inspected her communicator, trying to contact the others, but failing "Mmm! No one's answering."
"I'm convinced that some of my team survived. Anyway, there are more than a thousand survivors we have to rescue, so let's get going. By the way what did you say your name was? Hey!" watching as regina ignored him he gave an annoyed sigh.
Moving towards a door that was wrapped in ivy, Regina tried to open it, unable to she turned to look at Dylan.
"The ivy wraps around the whole door, we're not going to be able to get in. Let's try the door over there." Pointing to a door that had an electrical panel that was behind Dylan's back.
Giving her a mocking look Dylan walked over to the door that had ivy on it "Come on woman. Didn't they train you at SORT to open doors? Look, I'll show you. Watch" Then he took out a machete and with it began to cut the ivy.
With a raised eyebrow watching as he struggled to open the door Regina could not resist making a sarcastic comment "Wow! That machete is very appropriate for a member of TRAT, but I prefer to do it like this."
Heading for the electrical panel door, Regina pulled out an electric knife that when it came in contact with the panel it had an overload, causing the lock to open.
"See ya, Mr. muscles and no brains."
"Hey, my name is Dylan. When you need help, call me OK?" Dylan exclaimed as he watched Regina walk through the door that would lead them to the dock where the ship was.
....
[Axel POV]
The transport they prepared for my mission was a military helicopter that had a third energy reactor that would allow us to travel back in time to the era in which Edward City was transported.
I was pleasantly surprised, since from what I was informed, those who hired me had spies in the government agency and managed to steal the data to make a reactor that opens portals.
When they activated the reactor and the portal, a blinding light made me close my eyes; to open them after a few minutes to find that the helicopter was flying over a maritime military facility.
Coincidentally, the base was located on a nearby beach which, if my memory serves me correctly, is one of the areas Regina will explore later on in order to get a key card to open the entrance to Edward City.
"All right, gentlemen, it's time for me to say goodbye. When I get the data, I'll activate the signal to come pick me up." With that last, I descended with a rope toward the maritime facility.
Watching the helicopter disappear, I get ready to move around the facility; looking at the facility, I start to think about what this place used to be called. "Ah, I remember, it's a third energy underwater base."
Many plesiosaurus and mosasaurus appear in this place.
Unlike my other life, in this life the mosasaurus are smaller, about the size of a human; on the other hand, the plesiosaurus didn't change much, only in this world they made them more dangerous and aggressive, as well as a bit bigger.
Taking out my gun, I prepare myself in case I come across one of these aquatic dinosaurs. As if my words had attracted them, a group of three plesiosaurs emerges from the sides of the bridge of the facility.
"Oh man, had to talk, well it's time to get going." With a smile I draw jackal, with both my Casull and jackal pistols I prepare to make a plesiosaurus massacre.

Hello! here is your author.
I've seen that my fanfic doesn't attract much attention, I don't know if it's because not many people played dino crisis or maybe because it's a bad fic, I don't know.
Anyway, I'm a little sad about that. it only lasted in the top for a few seconds before disappearing ha ha it's very sad.
If you have any ideas on how I can improve my writing and grammar, don't hesitate to let me know.
Enjoy the chapter.
