A Rewrite of Jurassic World Rebirth. 5 years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, Dinosaurs rule the Earth, and mankind is struggling to survive. However, a virus threatens them back into extinction, a virus known as the DX Virus. It shortens the lifespans of Dinosaurs and infects their brains. The Dinosaur Protection Group (DPG) and the Dinosaur Integration Network (DIN) are on a mission to find a cure, led by Zora Bennett. The mission is to find and extract the DNA of some of the most dangerous and uninfected Prehistoric animals, at least several species, on a globe trotting journey. Doing so can offer life-saving benefits for both the Dinosaurs and Mankind. As the mission becomes more risky, and chaos ensues once again, old and new faces will make a sinister discovery that's been hidden from the public for decades... But no matter what happens, the world will always be... A Jurassic Empire.
