#carnotaurus toro

< Thursday, July 14, 2016 >

Everyone wakes up on a peaceful island. Little Eatie greets her battered mother in the jungle biome; Brooklynn goes down to the gas-free drill and stabilizes it; the one-day girlfriends take the kids to their snowy home (Ben is there, too); and Kenji finds that Toro spent the night digesting his prey in a frozen stasis, and smashes the controller to free the poor lad now that the Tyrannosaurs have returned home.

Having repaired the doors and shuffled all the dinosaurs back to their homes (and having found a third Velociraptor lurking about somewhere), Darius and his friends sit happily at the end of another productive day. Kenji even works up the courage to get himself back in Brooklynn's good graces...but the day is not over yet.

A boat arrives from Isla Nublar--after a day's trek back across the island and a careful navigation to the northeast, Mae has led Dave and Roxie back to their kids...and Brandon Bowman back to his brother.

Darius and Brand are reunited.

The kids are saved.

On a day that may or may not exist depending on the circumstances, Darius wakes up early to assess the damage from yesterday's storm. While searching for food, he falls out of a tree and is scavenged by a maternal Tarbosaurus, and makes a hasty escape by climbing down a vine to safety...

...or did he jump into another tree?...

...regardless, Darius finds a camera that was gathered into the creature's nest material. Using it, the CampFam gains a lead to a new source of food. They cautiously enter the nearby Velociraptor paddock to find more information about where the food was hidden...and the blue Velociraptor finds them soon afterwards. Thankfully, they escape because of...

....was it Darius's quick thinking or the fact that Bumpy was there to shield them?...

...regardless, they make their way on a path to...

...Main Street? Was that they day they went to Main Street and ran from Rexy again? Did Darius carefully clamber up a fence to save the map Sammy found? Or did they go into the tunnels and fight off Compies and get stuck with a Sinoceratops before Sammy found their way out?...

...anyway, time is slipping and the sun is setting, but Darius finds some Gyrospheres and they follow a herd of Brachiosaurs south until their battered vehicles run out of batteries. Then, they explore the unfinished, wind-powered amusement park, and ultimately locate the food by...

...riding a roller coaster to get a good view? Or did they stumble on it when Tarbosaurus chased them back into the park after they tried escaping in what they thought was a getaway car?...

...regardless, Tarbosaurus shows up and Darius realizes that she's been stalking them all day because he smells like her rotten eggs. He gets himself cleaned off thanks to...

...was it jumping in the water or using one of those Dilophosaurus fountains?...

...he did something. All that matters is that Bumpy got a nice mango treat, because it turns out that Ankylosaurs are very fond of mangoes.

It's the thirteenth day of the kids being in their tree fort...and it's the thirteenth and final straw for Ben.

He drinks his water without fear. He gathers berries without hunger. He climbs a tree without fear, and determines that all his injuries are negligible, and he can do anything now...so he fashions himself a spear and moves to get off this island...one way or another.

Toro is minding his own business, wondering whether he should leave his nest on such a cloudy, ominous day, and then some strange creature comes stumbling out of the bushes. His annoyance grows as this creature refuses to die, but as Toro prepares to get serious, he realizes that the fight has attracted the attention of another animal: a young Ankylosaurus.

Ben and Bumpy are reunited at last.

Sammy and Ben take care of the dinosaurs in the forest biome while Darius and Brooklynn set up a drone to alert them for when the Kons return; Yaz goes for a run and realizes that she wants to commit to her feelings for Sammy. Her intentions are thwarted by another earthquake--which the kids realize is coming from the unstable core. Stuck between fixing the core and rescuing the local Nothosaurus, the CampFam decides to split up. Danger once again presents itself, Darius has to rescue Brooklynn, Yaz and Sammy have to rescue each other, Ben is there, too, and in the end...Yaz confesses her feelings and Sammy gets the girl!

But before they can live happily ever after, Kenji and the Mantah Corp mercenaries return with their saurian cargo. Unprepared and caught further off-guard by the presence of Bumpy, the kids scramble to locate a flash drive containing Mantah Corp's backup files and rescue their club-tailed friend. Ben manages to break Bumpy free through the power of love and friendship (Kenji helps to distract the mercs), but Darius and the girls lose the flash drive when Hawkes subdues the Spinosaurus.

Holing up in their familiar forest biome, the kids grudgingly accept Kenji back on their team, and try to scatter the dinosaurs--but Big Eatie has no intention of ceding her territory to some interlopers, and a tremendous battle begins. Brooklynn and Ben skirmish to delay the enemy while Yaz and Sammy get the smaller animals to safety, with the latter getting a hit in on Daniel Kon himself. Darius and Kenji get two of the mercenaries killed, but Daniel takes control himself and gravely wounds Big Eatie, scattering our heroes throughout the facility.

The Kons board a boat in the morning and set a course for Isla Nublar, leaving the CampFam behind in isolation....but Darius is always working through a problem, and he quickly figures out the patrol pattern of their security robot. Before noon, he's found a path to escape, and the group takes to the sewers....but even those are not without their own dangers.

On Nublar, Mantah Corp is not the only group to breach the island's defenses: Brandon Bowman, Roxie Keynes, and Dave (just Dave), have also finally arrived, fifteen days after Darius's call for help. They brave the dangers on their search for Brand's little brother, unaware that Kenji is exploring the island in a search for new MantahCorp dinosaurs.

But they are all unaware of the doom about to transpire: Mantah Corp's robots cause an accident in the reactor core of the base's geothermal power plant, triggering a tremor that shifts the cavern ever so slightly...and resulting tremors are felt all the way at Isla Nublar. Shaken into the path of danger, Kenji and Hawkes team up to subdue Toro, bringing the menacing Carnotaurus to heel...but nature is not done. As Brooklynn disables the drone system in an attempt to calm the nervous Tyrannosaurs, another earthquake shakes the islands, burying Kenji and trapping Big Eatie.

If you wanted to know what would happen if the CampFam were COWARDS and had to go HUNGRY, here you go!

Enjoy the work the animators and voice actors did for something the kids would Never Do. Or did they?
