"This isn't a game, children. Give me the guns." Tiff barks.

Now, Y/N, being in his right mind, would've simply handed the guns over and let his life be spared. But Darius, Darius has a different idea.

"We can't let you shoot dinosaurs." Darius speaks firmly.

"Well, you're not the one with the case, are you?" Mitch scoffs.

"Give me the guns, Y/N. Give me the guns and nobody gets hurt." He reaches out towards the boy.

Y/N is completely torn. He'd like to just hand them over but how does he know Mitch and Tiff won't just shoot them dead on the spot. He subconsciously wraps his arms around the case, securing it.

"I'm not gonna ask aga-"

The tablet from earlier suddenly beeps inside Tiff's bag. She pulls it out and she and Mitch observe it. She gasps, causing the campers to exchange unnerved looks.

"Whoever turned on the power, thank youuuu!" Tiff comments in a sing-song tone.

Mitch and Tiff laugh almost maniacally.

"Sorry D, I guess we don't need you to show us where the watering hole is after all." Mitch shrugs.

Just then, a booming footstep can be heard from behind. The three campers tense up and turn around slowly. The steps are coming from the path where the kids had found the T. Rex nest about a week ago.

"We have to go..." Darius murmurs.

"Oh, really?" Y/N whispers sarcastically.

"We have to go now!" Darius' voice raises slightly as the campers turn on their heels and run in the opposite direction.

Just as they move out of sight, the T. Rex comes into view, stopping in front of Mitch and Tiff. It roars loudly, spooking the couple. Without another choice, Mitch and Tiff try running away, the monster close on their heels.

The campers have the same idea, running further down the street.

Y/N lets his guard down for a moment and the strap of the gun case gets caught under a table that the T. Rex has just sent flying. He falls to the ground with a thud, his skull slamming into the concrete.

"Y/N!" Sammy and Darius both call out, scrambling to help the boy up.

The case slides off Y/N's back as he gets to his feet and Darius moves to pick it up, but so does Mitch, they start to struggle for it, Sammy joining in on Darius' side. Y/N doesn't have the piece of mind to even consider helping in the tug of war match as the side of his head throbs in pain.

The struggle doesn't last long, the T. rex interrupting. It tries to catch someone in its jaw but snags up the gun case instead. It hangs from the large dinosaurs teeth, swinging back and forth.

The campers and the adults split.

Y/N, Sammy and Darius hide behind the wall of a building while the T. Rex begins tossing Mitch around like a ragdoll as the man grips onto the case that still hangs in the dino's teeth.

When it's done with the man, leaving him laying on the floor, the gun case on top of him, it moves on to Tiff. The dinosaur snaps at her, but she evades it's jaws. Tiff runs over to her husband and they both sprint beneath an underpass, where the dinosaur can't reach them.

The large beast struggles but is unable to get to the pair, getting itself stuck in the process.

Mitch grins wickedly and begins zapping the T. Rex with his shock prod before the two of them make their escape, leaving the three teens stranded.
