Smoothie falls asleep in Y/N's hands as Gia drives them back the way they came.

"No offense Gia, I was really hoping you didn't know these parts that well," Sammy looks down at the tracker tablet she stole from the van, "But..."

"Say it ain't so, Sam..." Kenji pleads.

"The Pyroraptor is definitely headed back toward town." Sammy sighs.

"Gia was right."

"Normally, I love those words." Gia shakes her head, "But not like this."

"Isn't there anyone else who can swoop in and save the day?" Y/N groans, leaning back against his seat.

"We all know there's no one around better equipped than us." Sammy sets the tablet down in her lap.

"I know." Y/N huffs.

"That doesn't mean we can't take care of this quickly!" Kenji offers, "We get in, stop this evil ostrich, and then boom!"

"Out on the first flight back home."

Gia suddenly pulls the car to a stop, gasping as she hits the break, "Look!"

The other's turn their attention out the window where Gia points, noticing the familiar red feather sitting delicately in a nearby mound of snow.

"A red feather." She observers, "We're on the right trail."

"See that?" Kenji grins at Sammy as Gia gets out of the car, "She's a pro too. This is gonna be easy."

"Where we're concerned, it's never easy." Sammy rolls her eyes as she and the boys climb out of the car as well.

They follow Gia onto the side of the row as she picks up the feather, Y/N carrying Smoothie in his jacket pocket.

"There's another one." Kenji points out the feather up ahead.

The four of them carefully walk further into the trees, following the trail left behind by the dinosaur.

They're alerted by the sound of a woman's distressed screaming and go on high alert, assuming the raptor has already started its first attack, but upon closer inspection they realize it's only some friends in a snowball fight.

They keep going, walking past a sign for the sledding hills they're entering. People slide around the snow nearby, laughing and taking selfies.

Y/N grabs Smoothie out of his pocket and puts him on his shoulder when he begins to fuss.

"Hey, hey, what's up?" Kenji dotes on the little dino.

Y/N flinches, pulling Smoothie away and putting him back in his pocket when he notices a red streak darting around in the trees.

"That's up..." Sammy gasps when she sees it.

The Pyroraptor keeps its head low, stalking forward slowly like its hunting as it approaches the unsuspecting citizens down the hill. It suddenly speeds up, diving into the snow and vanishing.

"They go under snow now!?" Sammy complains.

"These dinosaurs are constantly updating!" Kenji whines, "I can't keep up!"

"Over there!" Gia points towards the cabin nearby, seemingly belonging to the sled hills, "Maybe there's a PA system."

"I can warn everyone."

The others nod, running behind her as she rushes for the building. She gets to the front and tries to tug the cover to the PA system open, but its frozen shut.

Sammy darts in, kicking the cover clean off, "That should do it for ya!"

"Now I understand all those training sessions." Gia smiles.

"We still have to find that raptor and get it away from here." Y/N urges.

"What are we thinking?" Sammy looks between the men without a clue.

"Snow mobiles!" Kenji points out the three vehicles parked in the snow.

"Snow mobiles!?" Sammy exclaims.

"I'm from Texas."

"Hold on to him for me, yeah?" Y/N hands Smoothie over to Gia, "Too dangerous for him."

"We hop on those, drive the Pyro away, then race to the airport." Kenji insists.

Sammy takes a deep breath and follows Kenji's lead, hopping on.

"Oh!" She grins, "This is just like my cousin's four-wheeler!"

Kenji revs his engine, slowly trying to get the hang of it.

"Hey!" A man calls, pulling away from his wife and son, "Stop!"

He races towards them as Kenji still tries to get his footing.

"Kenji, hurry it up!" Sammy insists.

Kenji fiddles with the handles one more time before twisting them all the way and shooting down the hill.

"Lo siento, no hablo Italiano." Sammy apologizes to the man nervously as he finally reaches them.

"Uhm... por... que?" Y/N gulps as he goes full throttle on the snow mobile.

"I'm speaking English!" The man cries as they jet away.

The three of them weave through the trees as they shoot down the snowy hills.

"Get outta here!" Kenji shouts as they dash towards the people below.

"Dinosaur on the loose!" Sammy follows suit.

"Do you see it?" Y/N huffs, looking past the snow he's tossing up with his reckless driving.

"Hey!" He calls to a man sledding beside them, "It's not sa--"

The man screams as the raptor comes up out of the snow beneath him and sends him flying into the air and down the hill.

Kenji, Y/N and Sammy chase after the Pyro, trying to scare it off. The dinosaur weaves around them, running towards the crowds.

An alarm begins to blare overhead and Gia's voice shouts through the intercoms, warning all the civilians as they run away.

"Yes!" Kenji cheers.

The three of them continue to blast towards the Pyro, Y/N cutting in front of it just before it lunges at a man. They try to corner it, but it jumps over them, sprinting towards an unsuspecting woman playing in the snow.

"No, no, no!" Sammy cries, chasing after it and ramming it in the side. She knocks it out of the way just in time, sparring the woman's life.

The dinosaur swoops back under the snow, maneuvering out of sight and leaving the group in suspense as the ground rumbles beneath them.

It leaps back out behind them, diving for Sammy and causing her to have to evacuate her snow mobile, tumbling into the snow. She gets up and paces around with it, the creature carefully approaching.

Kenji zooms forward, scaring the dinosaur back before it can get ahold of her. He revs his engine a few times, causing the raptor to back away before it darts off in the opposite direction.

They chase after it, moving up hill not as they surround it from the sides and from behind. It snaps at their heads as they ride next to it.

The three of them skid to a stop when the Pyro disappears over a tall mountain, figuring it won't be coming back anytime soon. But just as it clears the top, the snow begins to break, falling down towards them.

"Avalanche!" Sammy cries, maneuvering her snow mobile around.

They shoot back down the mountain as the snow ascends behind them, growing closer and closer by the second.

"Don't look back!" Y/N commands, but its already too late.

Sammy gasps, turning to see just how near the snow really is. Once they reach the bottom of the slope it engulfs them completely, leaving them blind as the rush of cold air and flurries of ice wash over them, leaving them beneath a large blanket of frost.
