PA- Tunnel Guide Prompt

A loud alarm sound rang through Reaper's skull, the large cryolophosaurus slowly got to his feet coming to his senses. A storm had been cloaking the island for a while now but this sound was new and unusual. Reaper had never heard this sound, it was loud and piercing through the heavy rain over and over again. Soon leaving his napping spot he made his way curiously through the thick vegetation, the sound getting increasingly loudly as he got closer.

The rough rain hit his scales making his way through the dark and damp pathways left by many on the island. Breaking through the thick leaves, Reaper had pinpointed the area the loud alarm was coming from. A large towering metal door had opened, it was previously closed this thing hadn't opened in years why now? The large cryolophosaurus shifted his weight as he inspected the dark hallway lined with red lights. Looking around behind him to make sure he wasn't followed, his first step was made into the abyssal hallway, The cold metal clanked against his large claws as he stepped further into the hallway. The faint alarm was still going in the background but fading as he went. 

“ this place smells” Reaper growled under his breath. The tunnel was long and dark faded metal covered the walls filled with old claw marks and blood stains. Ducking under wires that hung from the old tattered ceiling.  A low growl could be heard , Reapers red eyes locked onto the sound as it traveled further down the run down hallway. 

Slowly approaching the sound…

“Who’s there!” He snapped through his bared fangs. Rumbling soon followed with the sound of glass breaking from the windows that Lined the tunnel, followed by the many rooms that were entangled within eachother. Soon Reaper found himself walking into an old lab of sorts , it was a large room littered with old medical and testing supplies. This is where the sound came from he was sure of it.

The room was large, filled with old papers scattered everywhere. He was mesmerized soon forgetting about the sound due to his infatuation with the old room along with the treasures it held.  This was all hidden for many years on the island. The door never budged, but now it was open and Reaper wondered if anybody else had explored this old lab.

The loud smash was heard in the dark corner of the lab. Reaper quickly swung his head around soon, setting eyes on a large carnivore, standing face-to-face with it he let out a large growl, sizing this new opponent up. Who are you and what are you doing here? He sneered through his bared teeth. The large carnivore made its way forward. The glass, breaking under the weight of the large theropod's feet.

A new species seemed  to be hidden in the labs. A large albertosaurus now stood in front of Reaper. My name is Hazard and you are?. It asked curiously Reaper caught off guard, he took a few steps back, breaking glass under his large claws. He had never seen this dinosaur. This was new, and it was a lot larger than him.

“ What are you?! And where did you come from” Reaper said as he moved backwards, keeping his guard raised. He had never seen something like this in all the years he had been on the island. The door had never been opened not once and this is what was hiding behind it a whole new species. Hazard shifted and nodded his head in the direction. “Well let me show you!” as he began to make his way deeper into the lab, hoping that the cryo would follow behind. Reaper was very unsure whether he should follow hazard, but he reluctantly sighed and started following behind him.

“ I’m hazard” the large albertosaurus grumbled. “ I'm assuming by the look on your face you have never seen my kind before or this place for all that matter” he chuckled as they made their way down the now semi  lit hallway. Reaper kept quiet for most of the walk as Albertosaurus led the way through the rundown lab; he was unsure how they lived down here for that long. What did they eat? Were there more of them? Has anybody else encountered them?. All these questions flooded his head.

The two came to a stop into an open area that was overgrown with plants and vegetation. This place was old and definitely showed its age. Hazard watched the young carnivore take all of it in. 

“ How long have you been down here…?” Reaper asked hazard as he walked around the room seeing all the lab coats hung and torn still on the hooks that were mounted on the wall, and some of them still had their key cards, not that it mattered anymore. before looking at the large albertosaurus, waiting for an answer.

hazard shook his head. “I’m not too sure the beeping just started happening and that’s when the large doors opened, I could smell a wet tench”. He said as he laid down on the cracked concrete floors that had split from growing plants. “ this place is very large , and there are others down here” he mumbled, playing with rubble between his claws. He turned his attention back to Reaper “ what’s out there beyond the door?” He sat patiently  waiting for an answer from Reaper.

Reaper pondered his thoughts at the question that hazard had asked him. It seemed that these other dinosaurs had never seen the outside world past the large metal doors. “ Well there is an island filled with other dinosaurs , but I have never seen any like your kind, this is a first”. Cocking his head slightly. He wondered why they had been trapped here. Was there a reason for it?. Why did the doors open now? 

“ I could show you,” he mumbled quietly, shifting his weight as he jumped on top of an old desk. That seemed to snap under his weight showing the age of the item. “ But I’d like to learn more about this lab place”. He wanted to know why it was here and what things hid within the unexplored areas. Hoping down from the now broken desk he awaited an answer from hazard. 

Hazard jolted up “ you’ll show me the island! You speak of? “ moving towards Reaper with a toothy  grin. “ of course we can make a deal!” Holding out his claws to the cryolophosaurus. His tail knocking over some old lab papers from it swaying back and forth.  Reaper returned the claw shake from the larger carnivore, “ then it’s a deal” he grinned back. As he jumped over some large rubble signaling hazard to follow him. “ Well then let’s go, show me what this place is hiding” Reaper said excitedly. The large Albertosaurus soon joined beside him as they began walking down some new twisting hallways within the lab.

The alarm still beeping in the distance could still be heard faintly. Followed by the sound of bushes rustling, two eyes peered through. curious of what the beeping sound was from also. followed by a large pale claw soon stepping out and tapping on the metal that lined the entrance of the door. The large Utahraptor soul had also been aware of the beeping alarm , drawn towards the scent of others. She took a big breath. “ we seem to have company” she chuckled “ I wonder who it is”. A large grin came across her snout. Something was brewing on the island and she could feel it was off. A quick glance around , she quickly adjusted to the dark hallway. Seeing the faint tracks left behind someone who had recently come across this and dared to enter the unknown. Soul too was keen on finding out what this unknown place had to offer and who or what was inside.

“ I think we have a new visitor” she said in a low toned voice, her eyes following the old claw marks that littered the walls. Taking in a large whiff of scent through her nose. Souls pupils soon turn into slits, a familiar scent followed by an unknown scent. Someone she had run into a lot on the island known as Reaper but who was the other scent accompanying the cryolophosaurus. With this information the utahraptor took off into the dark abyssal hallway hot on the tracks left behind from reaper and the unknown visitor hazard. Little did she know , she was in for a bit of a surprise and one she may not be fond of.

Hazard and Reaper made their way through making small talk  to one another. “ I can’t wait for you to  meet the albertosaurus! There are lots of us” both grinning at each other in agreement. This was a start of a friendship and a large change to the island and many of the others who inhabit it and call it home. Not everyone may be ready for what was about to enter the ecosystem…. But we will see
