Later that day.

Rainbow Dash was just resting out in the sun outside her bungalow. Just out relaxing with her ‘cool’ shades on as the sound of clopping hooves interrupts her relaxation.

“Ugh, what is it now, Pinkie?” Dash said as she raised her glasses and opened her eyes to see that it’s Twilight.

“Pinkie?”

“Oh! Sorry, Twilight. I thought you’re Pinkie Pie for a second. She always comes down here to hang out alot.” Dash said as she sits up and stretches her limbs.

“I see. It’s alright though. Anyways, Rainbow Dash. I need you to come and…take a look at something.” Twilight says to Dash as she pulls out a soda. “If you’re not too busy.”

“I am pretty busy.” Dash said taking a sip of her soda.

“Busy with what? Relaxing?” Twilight asked. “Never mind. Anyways, we have an attraction.”

“That’s not what you said the last time I saw you, Twilight.” Dash said chuckling with a grin on her face.

“I’m talking about the dinosaurs, Rainbow Dash.” Twilight explained as she got a bit closer. “A new species made.”

Rainbow Dash lets out another chuckle.

“You just went and made a new dinosaur?”

“Yeah, it’s kinda what we do here.” Twilight said. “The exhibit opens in a few weeks and Fluttershy wanted me to consult with you.”

“Consult with me, eh?” Dash said as she walked to her. “So, you wanna consult here? Or reading stupid books other than Daring Do in the library?” She asked jokingly. Leaving Twilight with a response.

“That’s not funny.”

“Haha! It is kinda funny consider you’re an egghead, Twilight.” Dash said as Twilight groaned an annoyment.

“Rainbow Dash, we like you to evaluate the paddock for vulnerabilities.” Twilight explained.

“Why me?” Dash asked.

“Well, I guess Fluttershy thinks that you’re able to control the raptors and-”

“Twilight.” Rainbow Dash interrupted her. “How many times do I gotta tell you? Is it all about control to you? I don’t control the raptors. It’s a relationship we have. Just like Fluttershy and her animals back in Ponyville.” She said as she randomly came in with… “That’s why you, me and the others never go hang out in the lagoon.”

“Excuse me?” Twilight said raising an eyebrow. “I never wanted to go! In fact. Neither of us wanted to!”

“Hey come on, Twilight.” Dash said punching her playfully.”Who backs out on a good swim?”

“A lot of ponies, actually! Because somepony had to put in a bunch of sharks in the lagoon.” Twilight explained.

“Oh come on, Twilight. Those sharks weren’t nothing. In fact, they weren’t big enough to eat you anyways.”

“Look, can we just focus on the asset please?” Twilight asked.

“The asset?” Dash gets a bit closer to her. “Look, Twilight. I get it. You’re in charge of a lot of things. Well, most of them. We gotta do what we gotta do. It’s like these animals are just numbers on a spreadsheet. But they’re not. They’re alive.”

“Well duh.” Twilight comes in.

“They’re thinking. I gotta eat. I gotta hunt. I gotta get Fluttershy to tame me before I eat somepony else.” Rainbow Dash made a little sad face when she said that before she went into laughter.

“At least you can relate to one of those things, right?” She asked.

“Okay, fine.” Twilight said.

“I’ll take a look at this dinosaur you all have. So where is it?”

“Follow me.” Twilight said as Dash is now starting to follow Twilight. When Dash whispers.

“This is gonna be so awesome.”

“You alright, Spike?” Scootaloo asked as they walk down the area of rides, live dinosaurs, and other fun places.

“Yeah. It’s that I’m a little nervous.” Spike said.

“About what?”

“Well, I’m not sure what it is. I have this funny feeling about Rarity.” He said as a shade of pink appears on his cheeks.

Scootaloo chuckles.

“Seriously Spike?” Scootaloo asked as she soon sees a sign that reads ‘Tyrannosaurus Rex Kingdom’ on it. Scootaloo’s eyes widen in excitement.

“OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH! T.REX! COME ON, SPIKE, HURRY!” Scootaloo screams in excitement as she races to see the T.rex.

“Whoa, slow down, Scootaloo!” Spike said as he tries to keep up when he follows the filly into the building.

She soon runs up to a giant glass window. Inside has a forest feel to it. Not like the Everfree forest from Ponyville.

“Where is it?” Scootaloo asked herself as she heard a giant, and low growl from nowhere. Except from outside the window. “I guess that’s my answer.” She said to herself as Spike watches as well. Looking for the T.rex.

A goat appears in the paddock as a flair is thrown at the goat. Scootaloo, Spike, and the other ponies just watch as they feel thumps from the T.rex’s walking.

Soon… It appears. It comes out of the trees as it spots the goat. Scootaloo’s eyes go wide.

“EAT IT!” She said excitingly when everypony else agreed with her.

“Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!”

“Oh no.” Spike said to himself as the T.rex launches down, and grabs the goat. Scootaloo did cringe a bit. But, she had to admit. It was worth watching while the T.rex eats the goat.

“That was awesome!” Scootaloo screamed through the cheering crowd.

“That’s gonna scare me for life!” Spike said as the T.rex swallowed the goat.

***

Some time has passed on as Twilight and Rainbow Dash have finally reached the Indominus Rex paddock. They begin walking up the stairs to the main room.

“We’ve been planning on a release date for tickets for a few months now. The park needs a new attraction every few years from the orders of Celestia in order to have the park reinvigorate for more interest.” Twilight explained.

“So what. It’s a dinosaur. Nothing to be more excited about to see the same species.” Dash said. With Twilight coming in.

“Not according to our focus group. The Indominus rex makes us re-”

“The Indominus rex?” Rainbow Dash chuckles.

“We needed something scary and easy to pronounce. You should try to hear a filly say “Archaeornithomimus”.” Twilight said as they reached the door.

“Should hear you try to say it.” Dash said as Twilight opened the door and they both walk in. Dash looks out the large windows.

“So what’s this thing made of?” She asked.

“The base genome is a T.rex. The rest is classified.” Twilight explained.

“You made a new dinosaur but you have no idea what it is?” Rainbow Dash asked looking at her and raising an eyebrow in confusion.

“The unicorns in the lab gives us feedback on this.” Twilight explains. While she looks at one of the co-workers on his desk. “When was the last time this animal was fed?” She asked the co-worker.

“Only this morning, why, princess?” He asked. “Feeding time?”

“It is. Can we ask one of the unicorns to drop some food in there, please?”

“Sure thing, princess.” The co-worker said happily as he gives a signal to them in the other room.

“How long has the animal been in here?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“All it’s life.” Twilight responds.

“Never seen anything outside of these walls?”

“Can’t exactly walk it.”

“And you feed it with that?” Dash asked as she points to a giant piece of meat being levitated by the help of four unicorns lowering it down.

“Something wrong?” Twilight asked.

“Animals raised in isolation aren’t always the most functional, Twilight.” She responded.

“Your raptors are born in captivity.” Twilight comes in.

“With ponies.” Said Rainbow dash. “They learn social skills, and I imprinted on them when they were born. The only relationship this animal has is probably those unicorns. At least she knows that means food.”

“So she needs a friend? Schedule a playdate or something?” Twilight asked. Leaving Rainbow Dash responding.

“Probably not a good idea.”

After a bit of talking and waiting. The dinosaur doesn’t appear to be showing up. Twilight taps on the glass with her hoof since the animal has sensitive hearing.

“Where is it?” Twilight asked.

“Okay, this is kinda weird.” Dash said as Twilight walks to the little switch.

“It was just here. We were just here.” Twilight said as she checked the security cameras in the paddock to detect the beast. But, all she’s getting is nothing. They can’t spy her.

“What the hay?” Dash said as she walked to the other side where she can see the view of the gate.

Twilight’s eyes go wide as she’s now nervous that something can’t be right.

“Wait a minute. This doesn’t make any since.” The co-worker said as he looked outside at the doors. “These...These doors haven’t opened in weeks.”

“Uh… Twilight?”

“Yeah, Rainbow Dash?” Twilight asked in a bit of a shaky voice.

“Were those claw marks always there?” Rainbow asked as she pointed out on the wall near the gate. Twilight sees them.

“You don’t think…?” She asked as they both looked at each other. Twilight gets into a panic mode. She must’ve escaped. This is not a good sign. “Oh Celestia.” Twilight then trots to the door. “She has a tracking spell device on her back. I can track her from the control room.” She said as Dash stares at the claw marks on the wall as she’s also feeling nervous.

As Twilight quickly trotted out of the main room. She soon storms off to the lab to track down the beast.

“Oh man, this is bad. This is really bad.” She said to herself as she keeps flying.

***

“And that is why I am terrified of turtles.” Waterspout said as he just explained his story to everypony. They couldn’t hold back their laughs and longer as they burst out laughing.

“It’s true!” He said as everypony can’t stop laughing.

“Oh Waterspout.” Sundown said as she placed a hoof around her friend. “You should’ve stayed away from that turtle when it bit you like that.” She said as she couldn’t stop giggling from the thought. Waterspout groaned, as Twilight burst in.

“ALERT! ALERT! PUT PCU ON ALERT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!” She said freaking out.

“Whoa, whoa, princess.” Sundown said to calm her down. “What’s wrong.”

“Okay, I need you two to get me the incorpse on the Indominus!” She said shaking to her hooves. Everypony’s eyes widen as they heard that.

“Right away, princess!” Waterspout said as his horn lights up.

“Come on, come on.” Twilight said in a panic.

***

Meanwhile, at the Indominus rex paddock.

Rainbow Dash and two Jurassic World employees walk into the paddock as they walk across the cage to get to the giant door.

Rainbow Dash placed her hoof on the claw mark, and looked up.

“The wall’s forty feet high. You think she could’ve climbed out?” One of the co-workers asked.

“That depends.” Dash said.

“On what?”

“What kind of dinosaur they cooked up in that lab.”

***
Back At the Lab.

As they tracked down the Indominus on the screen. It shows that it’s tracking the dinosaur in...it’s paddock?

“What the hay?” Waterspout said as him and Sundown look up at the screen. “Um, princess? It’s in the cage?”

“What?” Twilight said as she looked at the screen. “That’s impossible, I was just there.”

“Princess I’m telling you, she’s in the cage.” Waterspout said.

“Uh...look who’s also in the cage.” Sundown said as they all look up. They noticed two co workers, and Rainbow Dash are in the cage as a security camera is pointing at them.

“Oh no.” Twilight said to herself as she sees her friend in there. She froze up. “No. Rainbow Dash. Get outta there now. NOW!!”

***

As Dash and the co-workers investigate. One of the co-workers spotted some footprints that leads to the door where the claw marks are. Until he sees them leading to somewhere else.

“Hey, look.” He said pointing at the footprints.

“What the…?” Dash said as she noticed. “They lead to somewhere else. It isn't still in here, is it?”

A branch cracking was heard. Everyone stopped, and frozed as they listened closely.

Until…

“Oh no.”

“What is it?” Dash whispered. She can see that branches are moving. Not a single breath of wind is blowing those trees. A groan is heard.

“IT”S IN THE CAGE! IT”S IN HERE WITH US!” One of the co-workers screamed.

“GO! GO!” Dash screamed as her and one of the unicorn co-workers run to the door. One stayed back as he used his magic to open the door.

Dash and the co worker ran back to the door as fast as they can. Unfortunately, the Indominus is now standing right in front of them. Blocking their only way.

She roared at them. Could they be done for?

“RUN!” Dash screamed as her and the co-worker are now running as fast as their hooves would let them. The dinosaur is now catching up with them. She grabs the co-worker and takes a bite out of him. Now eating him while Dash is running for her life. Since she can’t just fly due to her injured wing.

“DASH! HURRY!” The co-worker screamed to her.

“CLOSE THE GATE! HURRY!” Dash screamed to him. Without a waste of time. The co-worker light up his horn and starts closing the gate. Trying his very best to give Dash some time so she can get out.

He soon runs, but, leaves the gate still closing. Can Dash make it?

The dinosaur roaring at Dash, chasing her while she goes for the gate.

Dash makes it through. But, the dinosaur gets caught in between it. Trying her best to break free.

Rainbow Dash slides under a carriage to hide. After a few seconds later. The door breaks. The Indominus is free at last.

She groans in approval as she is now free from her prison. Dash is shaking to her hooves as she can see her legs moving to the other side where one of the co-workers is also hiding. But, he’s sitting behind the carriage. Scared to death.

With a swing of her arm. The Indominus sends the carriage flying into the air, and land beside the one Dash is hiding under.

Dash looks straight ahead as she can now see the Indominus. He is now in the dinosaur’s view. Without a second. She takes half of his body in her mouth when she took a bit bite out of him.

Dash saw him get eaten by the hybrid. She doesn't know what to do. Panicking and panting, She just lays there as she can see the dinosaur get closer.

Until she notices a hole is already made under the carriage she’s hiding. She quickly looks inside and notices there is cider in there. Must be for breaks, and probably an animal tried to get them.

Dash quickly grabbed one, opened the bottle with her teeth, and starts pouring the cider all over herself, and spreading it on her fur as much as she can to get the scent on her.

The Indominus kneels down beside the carriage. Only her snout can be seen when she tries to investigate.

‘Stay calm, Rainbow Dash.’ She thought to herself as she tried her best not to panic. She’s shaking to her hooves. The dino takes a sniff. Until it groaned in disgust, and begins to walk away from the carriage, but not in her cage.

Rainbow rests her head on the gravel as she let out a sigh in relief. Thankfully she wasn’t eaten.
