Jurassic World: Return to Isla Nublar

A/N: Hello, welcome to the first chapter of my very first story on Fanfiction! I hope you'll enjoy this story as much as I plan to enjoy writing it. This story takes place over a decade since the third Jurassic Park movie (in 2001), so in the first few chapters, I am merely going to give some background information to help you know what's been going on in the Jurassic Park Universe since then. If you ask me, it's a pretty big gap to fill, but I'd say I have a pretty good story here. Hope you enjoy it!

PS: This story is rated T for some violence, but it only goes as far as people getting injured or eaten. There is no profanity, other uses of bad language or sexual content in this story.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to Jurassic Park except for characters I made up

Jurassic Park was - as its founder put it - bound to be one of "the greatest theme parks in the history of the world". It was supposed to be a grand and glorious theme park filled with living, breathing dinosaurs, brought to life from the miracles of cloning and bioengineering.

In the 1980's InGen, or International Genetic Technologies Inc., founded by the respectable John P. Hammond, was able to bring dinosaurs to life, with the help of the former chief geneticist Dr. Laura Sorkin, by extracting dinosaur DNA from mosquitoes that had sucked the dinosaur's blood when alive and became stuck in tree sap after landing on a tree. The amber eventually hardened just like a fossil. After extracting the DNA, the scientists realized they were stuck; the DNA they extracted was too fractured to be used in cloning. Dr. Sorkin had wanted to take the time to find a way to use the fully formed DNA sequence, time the Board of Directors didn't want to spend. So one of her lab assistants, Dr. Henry Wu, thought of a unique solution – using frog DNA. Dr. Sorkin didn't want to take these short cuts, so Dr. Wu was elected chief geneticist and Dr. Sorkin decided to study the dinosaurs in the field instead.

A host of dinosaur species were cloned on the park's factory floor – Isla Sorna – and some of these individuals were brought to Isla Nublar to be showcased for the future tourists who would attend the park. Isla Nublar is an island a couple hundred miles from the coast of Costa Rica, and John Hammond and the Board of Directors thought it would be a great place to build the park.

But due to a couple of fatal incidents with the park's staff in 1993, the park's investors were thinking that the park might not be safe for guests. To silence them, Mr. Hammond invited Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler to inspect the park. Hammond's lawyer, Genaro, brought along Dr. Ian Malcolm. But as we all know, things at the park went very wrong during the inspection: a rebellious park employee sabotaged the park's power, the electric fences went off, and the dinosaurs escaped their enclosures. But Dr.'s Grant, Sattler and Malcolm, Hammond and the most of the employees made it off Isla Nublar safely.

Since the island was deemed to dangerous to be kept in one piece, a now-deceased mercenary, Billy Yoder ordered that the island be destroyed. So it is said that the military came and destroyed the whole island with napalm bombs and the dinosaurs were killed.

Isla Sorna's fate was quite different; after a few escapades in 1997 (including a T. rex breakout in San Diego), Isla Sorna was made into a nature preserve where the dinosaurs could continue to live out their lives. Up into the 2010's, the island's dinosaurs live on, just as they did before extinction.

But Isla Nublar remains lie lost, somewhere underneath the waves. John Hammond's dream was gone forever along with the island and its dinosaurs . . . or so believed . . .
