"Everything is ready."

The words echoed in Miraluz's mind as he stood atop the cliffside overlooking the dense jungles of Isla Nublar.

The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting long golden shadows over the Island he ruled.

His army of genetically-enhanced dinosaurs—his Jurassic Alliance—had evolved into a force of nature, unrivaled by any non-titan species living or extinct.

It was time to attack.

With strength came ambition, and with ambition came vision.

Their Island was vulnerable, torn apart by the fallout of incursions and a dying ecosystem.

He had completed:

Jurassic World

Rampage

The Meg

Deep Rising

Kong: Skull Island

Each victory had come with wounds, scars, and unimaginable rewards.

But now, he needed more than power.

He needed intelligence.

Which brought him to his next move: "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."

"Let's start with the easiest one first," Miraluz muttered..

"Pick them off before they unite."

If nothing unexpected happened, the ape tribe led by Caesar was likely based in the Muir WoodsNational Monument in San Francisco—a vast, ancient redwood forest nestled along the Pacific coast.

While the apes where intelligent and united, their physical power was inferior to his evolved dinosaurs.

But that didn't mean it would be easy.

The apes were tactical, efficient, and deeply social.

Their intelligence, combined with the Simian Flu that had nearly wiped out mankind, made them a threat on multiple fronts—biological, social, and ideological.

But in the Monster Universe, humans were far more technologically advanced than in the real world.

They'd built Mecha Godzillas, Aerospace Motherships, and even Geocentric Arks capable of surviving the Hollow Earth.

But even so, the Simian Flu had decimated their ranks.

In just three years, over a billion humans had perished.

The virus didn't just kill. It changed the world.

Still, Miraluz reasoned, such a virus—however devastating in its early phases—would eventually be neutralized by humans.

Their technologies were too advanced.

And once the flu was dealt with, the apes would stand no chance.

Humans would retaliate and annihilate Caesar's people with unrelenting force.

Unless Miraluz got there first.

"I won't let humanity claim this win. I will."

He intended to complete the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" before human factions could intervene.

Not just for conquest, but because he sensed an opportunity.

He'd received the Rampage Potion in Rampage, a drug that exponentially amplified physical strength.

So what if this movie held its counterpart—a potion that enhanced intellect?

His dinosaurs were powerful, yes. But their intelligence lagged far behind.

Even Gray, who now a Titan, still operated on instinct and emotion more than reason.

If he could find a way to uplift them-to grant them true sapience—then perhaps…

"…they could learn to speak. To write. To build."

A dinosaur civilization.

He imagined it now: glittering cities rising from the ruins of human ones.

Dinosaurs are not just hunting—but planning, organizing, philosophizing.

And Miraluz, their Alpha and architect, is leading them into a golden age beyond the ashes of mankind.

"Roar!!"

The sun had barely breached the horizon when Miraluz's primal cry tore through the skies.

It wasn't just a roar—it was a signal. A declaration. A call to arms.

Every beast under his command stirred.

From the volcanic slopes to the hidden caves of Isla Nublar, his Jurassic Alliance responded.

Within minutes, the southern port was filled with thunderous movement.

The sky darkened as more than three hundred Pteranodons and Dimorphodons soared into formation behind their sky-lord, Quetzalcoatlus.

Their screeches echoed like war horns, wings slicing through clouds.

In the lagoon, water exploded upward as Tidecaller, the colossal Mosasaur, surfaced and let out a bellow.

Her size made even the reinforced sea walls groan.

And then came the land dwellers.

Led by Gray, who now dwarfed everyone, a land army of carnivorous titans moved like a mobile mountain range.

Giganotosaurus, T-Rex, Spinosaurus, Therizinosaur, Allosaurus, Carnotaurus, and the cunning Velociraptors marched in formation, flanked by the skittering Compsognathus and spitting Dilophosaurus.

Over fifty land-based dinosaurs of all sizes and species moved with a terrifying, practiced rhythm.

The ground shook for minutes after they assembled.

Above them all, Miraluz hovered with his dark, draconic wings, his enhanced body glowing faintly with residual Titan energy.

"Army, advance!"

And so, they left Isla Nublar.

They didn't slink away in stealth or hesitation.

They soared, swam, and marched across the Pacific in a show of force the modern world had never seen.
