RILEY

Page Four

Soon, Tyler's Jeep pulls up, and Tyler asks, hey, do you need a hand?  Riley replies, oh, no thanks.  I think I found the problem.  I just got to stick to the old owner's manual and I should be good to go.  A camper drives past and the wind force blows the manual apart, with the pages flying everywhere. Moments later, his scooter loaded onto Tyler's jeep, Riley rides in the back as the three continue on their way.  Shelby states, if I grew up on a ranch, I'll never leave.  Tyler adds, yeah, how great is that.  Cowboys and roundups.  Riley states, yeah, more like fixing fences and cleaning up pig pens.  Tyler notices a woman trying to wave them down and notes, something's up.  There is a car turned upside down as they pull over.  The woman tells them, my husband is trapped.  Riley, Shelby, and Tyler quickly get out of jeep.  Riley and Shelby race over to the overturn car, where the husband is pinned beneath the car.  Tyler asks the woman, are you okay?  The woman responds, yes, help him.  Tyler runs over to the car.  Riley notices liquid pouring out and lets it run over his fingers.  Riley takes a quick sniff and informs the rest, it's leaking gas.  Riley, Shelby, and Tyler stand up and exchange worried glances. Quickly, Tyler and Shelby try to lift the car up, as Riley tries to pull the husband out.  It is hard, and the three teens struggle.  Frustrated, Tyler hits the car.  Tyler quickly regains his composure and tells his new friends, we can do this.  The three get ready to lift the car as Tyler counts down from three.  The three teens use all their strength, and their Energems begin to glow in their pockets.  Suddenly the car lifts up high into the sky and explodes.  The woman is very surprised, what in the world?!  As car parts rain down, everyone looks on in amazement.  Riley and Tyler help the husband to his feet.  The husband thanks them.  Riley, Tyler, and Shelby take out their glowing Energems.  Tyler tells Riley, let me guess.  You're going to the dino museum right?  Riley nods his head yes.  The three get back into Tyler's jeep and head to the museum.  The three arrive at the Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum and Shelby directs them to the loading dock. Tyler's jeep pulls up next to the museum truck.  Shelby spots Koda and Chase, walking away, and calls out to them.  The three quickly get out of the jeep, but Koda and Chase are nowhere to be seen.  Tyler is not concerned, he is more impressed with a large dinosaur head with it's mouth wide open.   Tyler climbs up the crates to get a better look.  Riley is impressed as well.  Tyler is in front of the head and asks, take a pic of me, as he tosses his phone to Shelby.  Shelby responds, really?  Now?  Tyler gets himself inside the mouth, as he situates himself, he pulls on a tooth and drops out of sight.  Riley climbs up and is more impressed - a secret passage.  Riley slides down the mouth.  Shelby shouts wait!  Moments later, Shelby slides down as well.  At the end of the slide, they all  find themselves inside a room.  Riley thinks it's some kind of lab.  They slowly walk further into the room.  Shelby tells them, I've been serving burgers here for a year, never had a clue this was down here.  Tyler notices two more Energems and tells Riley and Shelby, check this out.  Tyler takes a closer look as Riley and Shelby join him.  Shelby excitedly states, they're just like ours.  Shelby is surprised when her Pink Energem flies out of her hand and into display with the other two Energems.  Riley and Tyler pull out their Energems and they fly over to the display as well.  Tyler laughs.  Riley thinks it's some kind of power source.  Suddenly Keeper appears.  Keeper explains, they are Energems.  Tyler warns Keeper to stay back.  Shelby asks, who?  What are you?  Keeper tells them his name.  I assure you, I'm quite harmless.  Energems harness untold powers of the universe.  Keeper makes images from the past appear as he continues.  Long ago I trusted them to guardian dinosaurs, but when the dinosaurs went extinct, the Energems were lost.  Tyler adds, until...we found them.  Keeper agrees.  These Energems have chosen to bond with you.  The three teens once more receive images of their dinosaur.  Riley asks, why would they bond with us?  Shelby is surprised when Koda, Chase, and Kendall walk in.  Koda, Kendall, and Chase stand beside Keeper.  Kendall walks up to Tyler and tells him, you fought to defend a stranger at great risk to yourself.  That's why the Red Energem chose you Tyler.  Tyler smiles.  Kendall walks over to Riley and tells him, you're discipline and intelligence have given you the skills to protect others.  The Green Energem was very wise to chose you Riley.  Riley gives a hesitant smile.  Kendall walks over to Shelby and tells her, why the Pink Energem chose you...is anyone's guess.   Riley states, okay, Energems, dinosaurs spirits, and bonding.  I'm sorry, but this all sounds a little unbelievable.
