Echo Incursion 01 - Jurassic Gateway (August 10th, 2016)

It's a particularly hot day in the Gateway City zoo. What else could you expect? It's not like it's not to be expected, it is the middle of August, after all. But there's plenty of things to see here at the zoo, and the visitors' center is air conditioned well enough.

Just a normal summer day in a typical summer vacation spot. Right?

Well, that's when things change. Those in the visitor's center would find the building changing around them. There's suddenly a dinosaur skeleton in the middle of the place, with the banner "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" hanging from the ceiling.

That's not all. The animal enclosures are now different. What used to be a pen for the african elephants now has very large, very long necked reptiles in it. A gigantic, meat-eating dinosaur just tromped its way out of the lion habitat it's too much too large for, and unfortunately for the people around it, its vision is based on movement. The monkey house? Well, those are velociraptors breaking out of it. The aviary? Now filled with particular aggressive flying pterosaurs.

These are just some of the creatures making their sudden emergence, and it's not long until they spill out of the zoo and into the city proper. Dinosaurs are now walking the streets of Gateway City.

Yes, indeed. Just a normal summer day.

Why wouldn't there be dinosaurs running around a modern city after everything else that's happened over the past couple of years? Like everything else she takes it in stride...sort of, as she tries to find shelter and not attract the attention of anything that could conceivably eat or crush her. Not an easy task when there are so many of them.

She'd found a gun along with...well, someone who no longer had any use for it, but that didn't mean much when she'd never used one before (except she now had a memory of doing just that). Either way, her first priority was getting away and being confronted by a small pack of Compsognathus hadn't been a part of Plan A. Plan B involved a lot of screaming.

She could really use a hand.

Exactly. This absolutely makes perfect sense, why would anyone even question this anymore?

Even amidst all the chaos, Toushirou manages to catch that particular scream, and he snaps his attention downward. Damn, too crowded to aim a dragon down there. But he's fast enough for other things. A single shunpo to reach the ground, and then another as he drags the tip of his blade against the street, ice forming in its wake in perfect time to catch the feet of the swarming campys and halt their movement.

The small dinosaurs shriek in frustration and attempt to pull their feet out of the ice, but for now, they seem to be stuck.
