Plot

A radar scans over Isla Sorna.

A radar scans over Isla Sorna picking up two signals on the island. Over a radio, Isla Nublar Base alert Jurassic One that there are two friendlies in need of extraction, but there are hostiles in pursuit. On the island, Dr. Meriwether leads an unseen partner through the jungle, running from a pack of Velociraptors. Hiding beneath a fallen tree, the pair are ambushed from above by the raptors and forced back out into the jungle. With Meriwether in the lead, the man behind him trips over a pile of Raptor bones. Catching up with Meriwether at a river, he calls out to Meriwether to follow the river to mask their scent, but it's already too late. Meriwether is climbing the bank the other side when the raptors pounce on him. The man below watches in horror as a large shadow suddenly falls over him. Looking up he sees a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The Rex growls before lunging at him. A glowing red 'Game Over' reveals that this whole sequence was in fact a video game. Sitting in his bedroom, Darius Bowman stares in disappointed at the game he just lost through VR Goggles. He is suddenly surprised by Brandon Bowman who teases him for his obsession with the game which no-one has been able to win. Revealing that whoever beats the game would win a trip to Jurassic World, a dream that Darius shared with his deceased Father. Darius asserts that even if winning is dumb and hopeless, he has to try to which his brother agrees.

Darius beats the Game, winning a trip to Jurassic World.

During the night, Darius suddenly awakes with an epiphany. He turns the light on starts searching through his bookshelf, pulling out Alan Grant's Lost World of the Dinosaurs. Quickly reading a passage, he sits back down at his computer and plays the game again. This time, he runs from the T-Rex at the river, back to the pile of raptor bones. Hurriedly searching through them, he finds a Velociraptor Resonating Chamber. With the T-Rex almost upon him, he blows into the resonating chamber, attracting the Velociraptor that subdue the T-Rex. With the predators all occupied he runs for Jurassic One, finally obtaining rescue and winning the game. Darius is congratulated by Mr. D.N.A. who tell him that he is the first person to beat the game and has won a place at Camp Cretaceous, the park's new adventure camp.

Later, Darius arrives on Isla Nublar along with Brooklynn, Yasmina Fadoula, Sammy Gutierrez and Ben Pincus, who his still nauseous from the boat ride from the mainland. They are welcomed to Camp Cretaceous by Dave who introduces himself as the head counsellor. Moments later a Camp Cretaceous AMG 6x6 speeds onto the dock and Roxie emerges, introducing herself as the actual head counsellor. Getting ready to leave, Ben notes that there are only five kids instead of six. On a helipad across from the dock a helicopter touches down and Kenji Kon swaggers out. He tosses his bag to Roxie who throws it straight back knocking him over. The group pile into the truck and drive off into the jungle, fastening their seatbelts as they bounce along the dirt road.
