Chapter 40: The Five
Part 3/3
The Baryonyx stumbled forward, and Samuel rushed to Blueblaze. He hopped on the saddle, and slowly began to distance himself, moving round and round the Baryonyx. Then he ordered,
“Aurora, distract it!”
Aurora ripped off a chunk of fish and tossed it at the beast. It hit it in the head, and it looked down at the ground, and then back at Aurora.
It was too late for the beast though. With another load of the arrow, he aimed the crossbow and shot at the Baryonyx. Upon making contact and piercing its skin, it let out a roar of agony, and fell to the ground, unconscious.
“Woah. WOAH!” Neddy gasped as he jumped in the air, “You just knocked it out! And so fast!”
Neddy looked back and forth between Aurora and Samuel, his mouth agape. Suddenly a smirk grew on his face.
“Oh. Well I suppose that makes some sort of sense,” Neddy grinned.
“What is that supposed to mean?” Aurora snarled.
“Nothin’.”
Ruby looked at Aurora with pity.
“Poor you, you don’t even know what you’re getting yourself into with this freaky guy,” Ruby thought.
“Hold on, hold on, why’d you even knock it out instead of killing it?” Neddy suddenly asked Samuel. Star seemed confused too, raising an ‘eyebrow’ and looking at Samuel.
“Because it’d be easier to knock it out then to kill it,” Samuel replied, “And it’s always a good idea to have more backup.”
“Oh,” Neddy realized, “Well I suppose that also makes sense.”
“So are we going to tame it then?” Ruby asked.
“Yeah sure.”
With that, they gathered some of the fish that still remained uncooked and began to feed it to the Baryonyx. As Samuel watched his allies tame it, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the paper with chicken scratch on it.
“Hmm,” Samuel thought, looking at it some more. The lines and dots seemed so random, yet so peculiar. Something about it felt familiar. It felt like translating an entire new alien language.
An entire new language…
“Is this-” Samuel realized with wide eyes,
“Morse code?!”

Chapter 40: The Five
Part 1/3
“So, who are you taking for your party?” Skyler asked Samuel with a raised eyebrow. Samuel’s eyes darted to Aurora.
“Well. Aurora’s going. Obviously. She’s the navigator,” Samuel replied with a blank stare. Aurora looked up and smiled gently at the two. She seemed to be blushing.
“And then… Neddy and Ruby. Neddy could help detect the presence of humans with his implant, and Ruby is a master crafter who could definitely help us if we got in a pickle,” Samuel said. He looked around at the other members of the Book Club.
Rick had already served his purpose to Samuel. Giving him information. He didn’t need Rick anymore.
Bobby was just a builder.
And Simon’s infinite weight carrying was useful, but certainly not necessary with the help of a pack animal.
Paige didn’t seem to be a fan of Samuel. He didn’t think she’d cooperate with him if it came down to making sacrifices.
Gary? Gary was supposedly a skilled hunter. But his ideology seemed to be more grounded toward what Skyler thought. He would suffer the same situation as Paige.
Sunny’s ability wasn’t very useful.
And Ben?
Samuel looked at Ben, who was staring right back at him. Ben was sitting on a tree log and was tapping his foot against the grass impatiently. He was twirling a flower in his hand, and his left arm had many scars across, as if thorns had pricked them many times over.
“Unpredictable. I can’t let him on my party,” Samuel thought, his eyes glancing away. Samuel let out a sigh as he cracked his knuckles.
“Yeah and I think my last party member will be Star,” Samuel said, briefly remembering her strange enlightenment power.
“Star? It’s just a dodo bird though. What use would it serve in your party?” Skyler laughed, “You’re smarter than that Samuel.”
“SHE is more useful than you think,” Samuel replied with a smile, “And besides, she’s been around since the beginning here on this island. It’d be unhonorable to leave her.”
“Psh, okay then, whatever you say,” Skyler replied, the smirk fading away from her face.
Samuel united the team together, all Five of them gathered around in a circle.
“So, you remember the plan, right?” Samuel asked them all while crossing his arms.
“Yeah, yeah we do,” Neddy said with a grin, “Oh man we’re back on the road just like old times!”
“Psh, you’re saying that as if we’ve been at this camp for years,” Ruby giggled, elbowing him. Aurora looked down at Star and rolled her eyes.
“Samuel, don't tell me you’re bringing that thing again,” Aurora said.
“Sorry, but she’s coming along for the ride, whether you like it or not,” Samuel said. Star blew a raspberry at Aurora.
“Well, good luck, you… Five,” Skyler said with a soft smile. She suddenly seemed cheery. She was about to add something, but she stopped. Samuel turned around and began to walk off to the raft, which they’d use to sail up the river. Star hopped onto his shoulder, kicking Aurora in the face as she made her ascent. Aurora clenched her fist. Following the group was also Blueblaze (Samuel’s Raptor), and Goofy the Carnotaurus.
Skyler stared at Star with clenched fists. A CHECK button flickered within her vision, and she raised her fist, slamming it into the button.
“USER IDENTIFIED.”
As the hologram expanded, and Skyler stared at everything her power had to say, her eyes looked up at the leaving raft.
“So, THAT’S what you really are,” Skyler muttered under her breath.
And Ben stared at the raft that was coming out of sight, a sudden realization gaining on Ben what Samuel was trying to do.
“He’s trying to escape this island,” Ben thought with narrowed eyes. He smirked, standing up and putting his hands in his pockets. He looked at the flower in his breast pocket, blinking slowly at the sight.
“Thank you,” Ben told the flower. He looked up again at the river.
If that was Samuel’s plan, and he didn’t seem to care about having the Book Club join along the ride…
Ben would have to make him.
Under the waves: chapter 7
Pearl stared at the bodies for a long time. There were several large fish that she couldn’t identify, a group of plesiosaurs, about five megalodons, and a suspiciously large lump in the very back that pearl suspected was a mosasaur. Trench swam to her side before letting out a gasp of horror. He immediately lunged past her and frantically began digging in the pile before pulling out a plesiosaur corpse. It was tiny, just a baby that would never grow to adult hood. As pearl swam to his side, he let out a choked sound. “Did you know them?” She asked him. “It.. it’s clam. My sister.” Trench whispered. Then I realized trench must not be much older than me, if he had siblings that young. Pearl gazed at the limp body, shuddering. Then her sorrow turned to fury. How could anybody do this to innocent creatures? A HATCHLING? Hunting is normal but this… this is massacre. She snarled under her breath. Then came a sound. Her head perked up, listening. It sounded like… Breathing. She peered into the cava again, and saw that the large lump in the back, the probably-a-mosasaur had shifted. She swam over to it imminently. It was a mosa, covered in scratches and a long slash across its throat. It stared at her, before mumbling “please. Just… end this. It.. it hurts.” She rested one of her fins on it’s head. “Okay. This.. this’ll be over in a moment.” She whispered to it. The mosasaur closed its eyes, and she nipped behind it’s head, killing it instantly and without any pain. The mosasaur was beyond saving anyway, even if she knew all the herbs and they’re medical uses like her mother did. Kinda hard to revive someone when they’re belly has been torn open and the organs are showing. “We should get out of here.” Pearl said, turning back to trench. He nodded silently and the exited the cave before pearl stopped. Maybe she just imagined it, but it looked like the bloody pebbles beach had… moved. Trench paused, watching her curiously. Yup. The shore is definitely moving. A large head slowly rose out of the pebbles, and it stared at her. It had two pairs of eyes, and an alien but familiar look to it. Then she knew how she remembered it. A mechalodon. She had never seen one before, only heard of them in legends and stories, but this creature definitely is one. The mechalodon slowly blinks, then, in a voice, raspy from unuse, says “Who?” Pearl glances at trench. “I’m pearl, and this is trench.” The mechalodon gives a small smile, showing yellow teeth cracked with age. “You who I’ve been looking for.” It rasps. Pearl tilts her head. “Find the others. Then, look for the cave with the lock and open it. Or all you know will be destroyed.” It instructs. Then, the mechalodon burrows back into the pebble shore and disappears.
