The next morning, Robin came out of Edmund's room and headed down the hall to the stairs. He only wore shoes and shorts. He descended the stairs. Looking up when he smelled something wonderful, he saw Samael basking in the warm sunlight that streamed into the living room from the giant windows behind the couch, which were open to let the breeze in. Looking away from it, Robin made his way to the front door. In the kitchen by the stove, Slade heard him walk by. He turned in order to see him.
"Morning." Robin didn't answer. He opened the door. "Before you go, I made you-" Robin slammed the door shut, drowning him out. "-breakfast." Sighing, Slade turned back to his skillet that was cooking scrambled eggs. "So much for that plan."
Outside, Robin was stretching his arms and legs before a morning run. He wanted nothing more than to be alone with the wind and the peace of the moving Earth. He didn't want any form of human contact while he ran. He had his communicator with him though, in case of an emergency. Once he was limbered up, he jogged in place for half a minute before taking off.
The land surrounding Edmund's property was beautiful. The trees provided enough shade to make the area cool. The underneath and around of the ferns and different plants was a great place for the many bugs that lingered. The sky was a pure blue with no clouds in sight. Sunlight lit Robin's path, causing him to sweat slightly the faster he ran. After half an hour, he ran about four miles. The vegetation was slowly becoming less abundant after a while longer. It was still as beautiful as from the beginning though.
After a few more minutes of running, Robin stopped to cool down and let his leg muscles take a break. With his hands on his hips, he tilted his head back, panting. He soon took a deep inhale, held it for a few seconds, and then let it out. Lowering his head, he looked out at the horizon. In the far off distance, there seemed to be a light brown haze. The several miles of green land ended quite a ways away. In its place was rocky terrain. Robin was really amazed at how quickly the jungle ended. He was, quite literally, looking at a giant wasteland, as far as the eye could see. He could even make out colossal rock formations if he squinted hard enough. That's when Robin wondered what kind of dinosaurs lived and survived out there. But that information was saved for never. Robin had no intentions on getting lost out there. He would have to be chased for that to ever happen. As far as he knew, the dinosaurs were behind him and in hiding, like they should be.
After another minute, Robin was ready to go back. Turning, he took a few jogging steps, but instantly stopped. The ground shook under his feet, which were rooted to the spot. His heart pounded wildly in his chest. Mouth slowly dropping open, Robin lifted his gaze. His knees threatened to buckle under his heavily growing weight. Subconsciously, he stepped one foot back and slowly lifted his arms, holding his hands up with his palms facing forward. His heart was beating so fast and hard that he felt like it would burst from his chest.
The ground suddenly stopped shaking. Standing only twenty feet away from him, a Tyrannosaurus Rex with spikes on the top of its head above the eyes was staring down at him with a wild look in its beady red eye. A low growl was emanating from its chest. Robin stood absolutely still, hoping beyond hope that it couldn't see him if he did. The T-Rex sniffed in his direction a few times. Then its growling traveled to its throat and was getting louder. As it reached its mouth, the T-Rex opened it, tilted its head to the sky, and roared painstakingly loud. Almost jumping out of his skin, Robin quickly turned and ran, heading for the wasteland yards away. Seeing its prey run away, the T-Rex took a step and chased after him, roaring as it did. The ground shook with every step it took, rattling Robin's bones and making the trees shudder. With adrenaline and fear fueling him, he made it to the end of the jungle within a minute, his feet pressing painfully hard on the dry, cracked ground. He could clearly hear the solid rock breaking with every step the T-Rex took. It was so loud that he feared it was closing in on him. Robin forced himself not to look back and see the real distance between them. What he had to look for, though, was shelter.
Robin suddenly tripped over a rock and he fell, crashing onto his stomach a few feet. Panicking, he tried pushing himself up with his hands to get up when a shadow fell upon him. As it got bigger, Robin realized what was going to happen. With a somewhat girly scream, he quickly rolled over, barely avoiding the two ton feet crashing heavily into the ground where he once was. Scrambling to his feet, Robin started to run as fast as his aching legs and feet would allow in his new direction. Turning after its insanely high and far jump, the T-Rex looked around and quickly spotted its prey heading for tall cliffs in the distance. Roaring, it chased after him again in hot pursuit.
Robin was starting to run out of breath and energy. He almost felt like giving up when he a saw a large fissure within one of the cliffs ahead. Managing to pick up a bit more speed, he made his way over, determined to make it inside unharmed. When he was seven feet away, he performed a long dive and slid inside. He quickly jumped to his feet and moved in all the way to the back. His chest heaved heavily as he breathed from his hard run. The ground continued to shake, as well as the cliff walls. A large shadow started filling the entrance of the cliff. The shaking soon stopped, along with the shadow's growth. Robin held his breath in anticipation, wondering what was going to happen next.
The shadow was still momentarily before it began to change shape. Robin waited for what seemed like forever before something happened. This time, Robin screamed like a girl. He had jumped in fright and then fell painfully onto his tail bone. The cliff shook violently as the T-Rex smashed its nose into the hole, biting at the air. Robin quickly realized that it was wanting to get its head inside, to possibly drag him out with its massive, sharp teeth. None of his weapons could hurt it. So, with no other options, he fumbled for his communicator while the T-Rex continued smashing its head into and against the edges of the crevice. With shaking hands, Robin managed to pull the communicator out and flipped the lid open. The screen lit up after he turned it on. He quickly opened the tracking setting from the menu and picked the option to scan for near-by communications' signals. It started to search, trying to find a hotspot. The T-Rex roared into the hole in anger and doubled its efforts to break through. Robin started panicking again when the scanner wasn't managing to find anything yet.
"Come on, come on, come on!" Robin jumped and yelped when a chunk of rock fell a few feet from him. "You stupid sonofa-!"
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Robin dropped his communicator in fright. It bounced forward once, landing halfway from the T-Rex's jaws. Cursing loudly at himself, Robin darted for it, snatched it up while breaking the skin under his fingernails, and then fell back, crawling hastily backwards to get away. Soon the T-Rex's head was almost fitting perfectly into the fissure. With its feet, it tried to propel forward, but it failed. It didn't seem bothered that it was getting hit in the face and eyes by rocks and dirt. The communicator suddenly bing-ed and Robin looked at it. The search had ended and was giving a flashing 'Try again' status, pissing Robin off. The thickness of the rock wall was blocking out signals. Quickly getting up, Robin moved as far to the right as he could and stood two feet from the hole. He backed against the wall and tried the scan again, hoping it would work this time. He stared at the 'searching…' message in anticipation, glancing at the T-Rex's snout for a split second several times. He was also holding his breath again. When he couldn't take it anymore, he practically screamed at the communicator screen.
"Fucking work goddammit!" Robin's eyes suddenly lit up. "Yes!" Clicking the green GO button, the screen gave a new message: Connecting… After the triple dots appeared one at a time twice, the screen went black for a split second before Edmund's body appeared from the torso up. "E-Edmund? Edmund! I'm in some serious trouble right now! You have to help me!"
Seeing his scared expression, Edmund became alert. "What's wrong? Where are you?" The T-Rex suddenly roared and then snapped its jaws loudly. "What the hell was that?"
"That's my problem!" Robin yelled over the roar of the dinosaur. "I went out running this morning and when I took a break, this Tyranosaurus Rex appeared and chased me! I found a fissure in a cliff about half an hour from the house, but the T-Rex is trying to break through and there's no other way out! My weapons aren't sharp and strong enough to cut it!"
In his basement, Edmund was heading upstairs with his screen from the previous night in his hand. "I have your location! We're coming!"
"Hurry!"
Travis rushed into the living room and called for Slade. When he didn't answer, he rushed outside and found him exercising in front of the porch. Edmund jumped down from the porch, turned left while picking up gravel, and began racing around the house. Hearing him in his haste, Slade stopped mid-crunch and looked at him over his shoulder.
"Where are you off to in a rush?"
"Robin's in trouble!" Edmund called back, vanishing around the corner of the house.
"WHAT?"
Slade rolled around quickly and pushed to his feet, running after him. He quickly caught up and saw Edmund opening the hidden garage in the trees. He rushed in to the driver side of the car, yanked the door open, and jumped in. Slade got into the passenger side right as he started the vehicle. Slamming the screen, which now had a map on it, onto a metal prop on the dash, Travis quickly put the car in reverse, turned the wheel to the right with a screech, and instantly switched to first gear. He accelerated forward, zooming past the house at thirty miles per hour in just five seconds. After quickly switching to second gear, he forced his foot all the way to the floor. Slade was examining the map, where three dots were blinking rapidly, two of them overlapping each other. One was red and the other was blue. The third dot was green, which was much further from the other two dots.
"Robin's the blue dot," Edmund said.
"Yes, I know." Slade paused. The car was reaching the place where Robin had paused his run. "What is Robin in trouble with?"
"A Tyranosaurus Rex found him during his run and chased him," Edmund explained.
Slade's eyes narrowed slightly, a small frown on his face. "How many are there?"
"In this region? Just the one."
Something triggered in Slade's mind suddenly. "Are there spikes on its head?"
Edmund looked at him. "Yes, why?"
Slade suddenly glared at Edmund, who looked impassive. "When we get back, with Robin, you have some explaining to do."
Turning away, Slade folded his arms over his chest, staring out the windshield. Dust came floating up around them when the car reached the wasteland. On the map, their dot was closing in on the two others. Edmund turned the wheel slightly to the right, to stay on a straight path. They were just a couple of minutes away. As the haze started to clear, they saw the T-Rex's tail sticking in the air with the back of its feet facing them.
Inside the cliff, Robin was trying to remain as calm as possible, though it was difficult when you had long, sharp teeth aimed at you. Robin wondered how the T-Rex could turn his mouth completely in his direction. Its hot breath hit him in the face, making him sweat. It needed a giant Tic-Tac. Robin was almost gagging at the rotted stench emanating from the back of its throat. The T-Rex kept crashing its head into the side, trying to create a bigger opening. Its spikes were stabbing the rock, but it wasn't cracking or breaking chunks off. Robin found that a blessing. However, if help didn't arrive soon, the monstrous dinosaur would have its opening.
A car horn suddenly blasted at them. As it tried getting out, the T-Rex's head slammed into the top of the fissure, roaring in anger. Chunks of rock fell and landed near its feet as it backed away. Slowly standing, Robin saw the T-Rex's shadow disappearing and becoming smaller. He swallowed hard as he cautiously moved towards the crevice. Stepping right inside of it, he peered around the side and saw that it was chasing a massive cloud of dust. Letting out a breath of relief, Robin stepped out into the open right as Slade appeared. Robin screamed in surprise.
"Christ, Slade! Don't do that!" Grabbing his right wrist, Slade started pulling him away from the cliff. "Hey, let go of me! I'm fine!"
"We have to get as far away from here as we can while Edmund averts the Tyranosaurus Rex," Slade said. "When its safe, he'll come pick us up."
"Fine, whatever, but I can walk by myself! I don't need your help!" Slade actually released him, much to Robin's surprise. It quickly vanished and he moved away from him as they walked. "How'd you get to me so fast?"
"We took Edmund's car. It can reach thirty miles an hour in just seconds. We drove one hundred and seventy miles per hour."
Robin's eyes widened in amazement. "How high was the speedometer?"
"Almost three hundred." Slade suddenly stopped, turning to Robin with a quirked eyebrow. "What's with the sudden change of mood?"
Stopping, Robin sighed heavily, falling to sit on the warm ground. He seemed shaken up again. "It's the shock. It was a good thing I have a morning ritual, otherwise I would've pissed my pants back there."
Slade stared down at him silently for almost a minute. "Robin, about last night-"
Robin stuffed his fingers into his ears, clenching his eyes tightly shut. "I don't wanna hear it!"
Slade snorted at his childish behavior, but said nothing. He would wait once everything settled down first. A few minutes of sitting later and Edmund pulled up alongside them. He opened the door and stepped out, standing behind it. He looked at Robin, peering down at him.
"You okay?"
Robin stood up and then dusted himself off. "I will be once we're back at the house."
Walking around his door, Edmund opened the back one for him. "Hop in."
Robin approached him. "Thanks."
Edmund closed the door after he sat down and pulled his legs in. Slade walked around the car for the passenger side and he and Edmund both entered at the same time.
"Seat belts."
Robin buckled up and then rested back, his eyes closed. Seeing him in the rear view mirror, Edmund lowered his window part way and then started driving, slowly at first. He soon reached fifty miles an hour. Everything was quiet except for the sound of the tires on the cracked ground. As they were reaching, level, green ground, Edmund lowered Robin's window the rest of the way.
"Fresh air helps calm the nerves," he said to no one in particular. "The more oxygen you have in your brain, the better you feel."
Robin smiled softly at the random fact. Slade, on the other hand, wasn't amused.
"How did you escape the Tyranosaurus Rex?" he asked, very seriously.
Edmund looked at him. "Can't we discuss this back at the house?" Slade stared at him with a blank look on his face. "…I electrocuted it."
"From the car?"
Robin opened one eye and saw how Slade was looking at Edmund. The poor man was probably about to wet his pants from that longing, hard stare. After a few more seconds, Edmund sighed and looked back out the windshield, seeing the house looming into view.
"I will explain everything I know inside."
