"Target sighted—ten o'clock!"
Meanwhile, aboard the helicopter...
Masrani was at the controls, piloting the chopper.
Two armed personnel flanked him—one scanning for the target, the other manning the heavy machine gun mounted at the hatch.
Jack's massive, unmistakable figure quickly caught their attention, and his position was immediately locked in.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!!
The machine gun roared to life, sending a deafening storm of bullets raining down.
The spray of firepower tore through the forest, shredding leaves, splintering trees, and churning up dirt.
The thunderous noise echoed across the valley.
Despite the dense forest and the Indominus's rapid, agile movements, several rounds struck his body.
The impact rang out with the sound of metal on metal.
"What the hell? Is that thing made of steel?"
The men aboard the helicopter stared in disbelief.
Even the heavy machine gun couldn't penetrate its hide? That was insane.
Suddenly, a massive, round glass building loomed ahead.
The Pterosaur Dome.
BOOM!!
Jack crashed headlong into the structure.
The sheer force shattered the tempered glass, sending shards cascading to the ground.
"No, no, no!" Masrani's face paled at the sight.
If the pterosaurs escaped, the helicopter wouldn't be the only thing in danger—hundreds of tourists still stranded in Jurassic World would be at risk too.
Tick! Tick!
The moment Jack burst into the dome, the pterosaurs erupted in panic.
Faced with such a terrifying intruder, they screamed and scattered in terror.
The hall housed mostly small to medium-sized species—Pteranodons with wingspans of 7 to 9 meters, and Dimorphodons with wingspans just over a meter.
There were easily four to five hundred pterosaurs in total.
ROAR!!
Jack let out a thunderous roar, then lunged forward with lightning speed, snatching a Pteranodon perched on a rock formation.
It barely had time to react.
His jaws clamped around its thin neck, and with a crunch, the vertebrae shattered under the pressure of his steel-like teeth.
The creature was dead instantly.
He casually devoured it like a snack.
[You hunted a Pteranodon and gained 30 gene points.]
[Pterosaur gene "Dragon Wing Flight Lv.1" available. Extract?]
Dragon Wing Flight?!
Jack was stunned. Could this mean he could grow wings, fly by integrating pterosaur DNA?
Things were getting more absurd by the second.
Still, now wasn't the time. There were enemies to deal with.
The fusion could wait until he found a safe place.
Without mercy, Jack rampaged through the dome, killing several more pterosaurs.
The rest, terrified, fled through the gaps in the broken glass.
Like Jack and Gray, these pterosaurs had been confined here since they were young.
Though they could see the sky through the glass, they'd never known true freedom.
Now, at last, they had a chance to escape.
The entire flock surged from the shattered dome, creating chaos in the skies.
"Pull up! Pull up!!"
Masrani and the others panicked as the sky filled with hundreds of fleeing pterosaurs.
He tried desperately to increase altitude.
But the pterosaurs, sensing fresh prey inside the hovering chopper, weren't about to let it go.
"Screee!!"
A Pteranodon slammed into the helicopter, shaking the entire frame violently.
The gunner at the hatch lost his footing and slipped—but managed to grab the edge with both hands, dangling precariously above the jungle below.
But the next moment, another Pteranodon swooped in, snatched the gunner from the hatch, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
This was only the beginning. More and more pterosaurs gathered, frantically attacking the helicopter.
The violent collisions soon took their toll—the rotors shattered with a deafening crash.
Boom!
The helicopter plummeted like a broken kite, crashing directly into the Pterosaur Dome.
The fuselage exploded violently on impact.
Masrani, the pilot, and the armed co-pilot were killed instantly.
Their bodies were never recovered.
"It's... It's over!"
In the Jurassic World control room, Claire and the others who witnessed the disaster turned pale with despair.
Not only was Masrani dead, but the pterosaurs had escaped their enclosure in full force—complete chaos was about to engulf the park.
"Quick! Broadcast immediately! Evacuate all tourists!"
Claire shouted, her voice urgent, while staff scrambled in panic.
Amidst the chaos, only one man wore a smug smile—Hoskins.
With Masrani gone, there was no one left to stop him from executing his plans.
--------
Jurassic World Resort
Over two thousand tourists were gathered here.
The summer sun beat down mercilessly, burning the earth and raising the temperature even higher.
Complaints and grumbles filled the air.
These visitors had traveled thousands of miles and paid dearly for their vacation, only to find themselves trapped, restricted by the park's lockdown.
Those who wanted to leave could only rush toward the southern dock and wait for the ferry.
"Ladies and gentlemen, due to emergency lockdown, all tourists are requested to seek shelter immediately."
The announcement repeated across the park.
Suddenly—
Tick! Tick!
Before anyone could react, sharp cries echoed from the sky.
A massive flock of pterosaurs descended, teeth bared and wings beating ferociously.
The crowded grounds below looked like a feast laid out for them.
"Pterosaurs? Why were so many released?"
"Run!"
"Ahhh! Help!"
Panic erupted instantly.
Tourists scrambled toward shelters, their screams and curses mixing with the urgent broadcast, filling the entire core area with chaos.
The larger, toothless Pteranodons swooped down mercilessly, grabbing people like chickens and carrying them high in deadly aerial relays.
The smaller Dimorphodons knocked others to the ground, their razor-sharp beaks tearing chunks of flesh from anyone unfortunate enough to be caught.
Within minutes, blood stained the ground, and the scene descended into brutal confusion.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At that moment, a four-wheeled ATV tore through the chaos.
The rider raised a tranquilizer gun and fired relentlessly, taking down rampaging pterosaurs one by one.
"What the hell is going on here?!"
It was Owen, the protagonist of the Jurassic World saga.
A former Navy operative from the United States, Owen had been hired by Masrani to train the velociraptors.
His work in the raptor paddock was well-known.
He had been training his raptors when news of the emergency reached him.
Rushing to investigate, he was immediately attacked by the unleashed pterosaurs upon arrival.
