"We gotta get off this Monorail now!"

Brooklyn rushes to the window and looks outside.

"Oh! The- The track dips down up ahead! We can jump there!"

"What?"

"Jump?"

"We can't, it's too far to jump!"

"It's the only way!" Darius cries.

The campers and Bumpy all slowly approach the giant open space on the side of the train.

"One..." Darius begins counting as everyone prepares to take the leap.

"Two..."

Y/N straps Ben's fanny pack onto his own waist and Kenji grabs a hold of Bumpy.

"Three!" Darius takes a deep inhale, waiting for the correct timing.

"Now!"

Without a second thought, the kids leap from the moving vehicle. Y/N gets slight zipline Deja vu as they all descend towards the ground and land with a hard crash.

The kids land on the top of a decline and begin rolling down the grass, trees stopping their descent. As the campers peel themselves off the jungle floor, they begin to walk towards the sound of each other's falls, eventually ending up in the same place.

Y/N stares down at his bloody hand, a pretty deep gash from where the glass had entered his palm. He sighs as he slowly unzips Ben's fanny pack and unsurprisingly finds a roll of bandages. He wraps them around his hand, barely managing to tie it up by himself. Just as he finishes up, Darius enters the clearing where the rest of them linger.

"Is everyone okay?" Darius rubs his arm.

"Ish." Brooklyn groans, "Are you?"

Darius doesn't get the chance to answer as Kenji emerges out of the brush, frantically searching the area.

"Bumpy! Where's Bumpy!"

"I lost her when I hit the ground. She's gotta be here."

"There are still dinosaurs out here." Brooklyn shushes, "Including Toro and--"

"Bumpy!" Kenji ignores Brooklyn's warning completely.

"We gotta look for her, don't we?" Sammy whines.

"And Ben! He might still be--"

"How?" Yasmina argues harshly, "We don't even know where they are!"

With this, Yasmina crumbles to the ground, her ankle coming out from under her.

'Attention. All park-goers must report to the south ferry dock for immediate evacuation. Last ferry departs in 60 minutes.'

"No chance we can get there in an hour! It's way too far!" Yasmina shouts.

"Not if we leave right now!" Brooklyn argues.

"But what about Ben!" Sammy cries, tears forming in her eyes.

"We can't go back for Ben." Y/N's voice rises over the others and brings silence to the group.

"Ben's gone." He says the words although he can't even believe them himself. He feels his stomach twist with regret, but he can't even manage to cry at this point.

There's another beat of silence before Darius speaks up, "There's just not enough time to look for--" He stops himself.

"We can make it to the ferry. But only if we go now." He speaks seriously, an intense look on his normally soft face.
