CHAPTER TWO
That’s pretty dark. So, this is your survival strategy? Lure tactics? In the Mysterious Beyond too many Sharpteeth lack the cunning it takes to survive this tough world like you. But I can easily lure in food for you. I have special ‘eat me ‘powers that can get you the tastiest meals thinking their closing in on me, then you can snap them! said Tucompso.
Ok. By the way, do you happen to know of any Sharpteeth that like to pick on Flattooth kids? You could use your ‘eat me’ powers and lure them to me. said Chomper.
Tucompso asked Why only flattooth kids? why do you favor them over mine should I succeed in my journey of life?
I can protect your kids too, I guess. said Chomper. After all, protecting more things, as long as I don’t protect too much, does mean more for me to eat.
Pato pokes the shorty sharptooth. “It doesn’t seem dangerous Dad. I think we should let it stay here.”
Tucompso said Now, I don’t know any Sharpteeth who particularly seek Flatteeth children as a only food source, but if any Sharpteeth spot me, I bring them right to you. By the way your friends are getting kinda curious, have they never seen my kind before?
I’m the only Sharptooth that lives in the Great Valley. I have been looking for a mate, but haven’t found one yet. said Chomper. His stomach growls. Speaking of getting me something, could you get something right now? Chomper goes to a stream, grabs many fish, and eats them. I can, of course, eat these, but, well, they don’t quite fill me. He gives the shorty sharptooth some fish. I know I am still hungry and could eat more of those, but you look kind of worn out and I don’t know when you’ve last eaten.
Tucompso remarked Small world, the search for a mate is why I am alone, on nature’s testing grounds. It is the tradition of my people. But I’m sure you know all about that.
Tucompso added Tell you what, I know something I can get you, but first I better ask, how many Fast Biters can you handle at once?
Depends what type of Fast Biter you mean. The bigger ones, only about six. The smaller ones, probably about 15. said Chomper.
Tucompso smiles. Perfect.
Er, which one is it? asked Chomper. And by the way, I don’t hunt Two Claws of course. I even really have to push myself to kill them. I don’t like killing my own kind. And, also, I’m terrible at defeating Three Claws and I don’t think I could do a Sailback (never tried it.
Sometime later, there are 15 Fast Biters near the entrance to the great valley, Tucompso is their licking his lower leg as if he doesn’t see them. They spot him and head toward him. He remains calm as if he doesn’t see them coming, allowing them to close in.
Hello there. I think you will be leaving now. said Chomper to the 15 Fast Biters.
Get your own meal Two Claw! snapped a Velociraptor.
Leave, now! snapped another Velociraptor.
Get your own meal! snapped another Velociraptor.
Fine, if you insist. sighed Chomper. He leaps into the air and comes down, crushing two Velociraptors. He bites another in half. The remaining 12 come at him to attack him.
Tucompso watches from onto of a tall rock, waiting to see how this plays out.
A Fast Biter bites Chomper in the leg. However, he pays dearly for it, as Chomper spins around and impales the offending Fast Biter with the claws on his feet. He kicks two more in the throat as they leap at him, sending blood spattering in the air. Three more try and bite Chomper in the chest, but cannot leap up high enough to do him real damage. Their efforts get them killed by his kill claws on his hands. He strikes fights with the five of them, getting a few cuts and a, thankfully not deep, gash. At last, only one Fast Biter is left alive. The Fast Biter, knowing she is outnumbered, falls to her knees, pleading for Chomper not to kill her.
Please don’t kill me. You have 14 already. You don’t need me. she pleads, shaking like an Earthshake.
Tucompso walks up to one of the fallen Fast Biter corpses and begins eating it. He doesn’t look in the last one’s direction at all.
What do you think I should do with this one? She doesn’t seem to want to eat you and just wants to go home, alive. Chomper asks Tucompso.
Do what you want. said the shorty sharptooth.
Chomper grabs Tucompso. He brings him in front of the Fast Biter. You see this shorty sharptooth? Don’t ever try and hurt him again. If you do, you know what will happen to you. said Chomper, pointing at the dead Fast Biters. She nods, before leaving.
He turns his gaze to the dead Fast Biters. Wow, that’s a lot to eat! When he is done with the Fast Biters, he is feeling sleepy. He decides that he’ll put the Fast Biter bones near the entrance to the Great Valley to scare off future would be hunters from going near it. However, he plans to sleep off his meal first.
However, before he can leave, he spots a big green Two-Claw, who has one big red eye and one damaged red eye and also had a big scar on top of his head, as though something hit him in the head. Hide, I’ll talk to him. Chomper told Tucompso.
I see you’re hunting Fast Biters. Quite brave to take on 14 at once. the strange Sharptooth remarked.
Er, thanks. said Chomper. Something about this Sharptooth unnerved him.
My name is Shredder. What is yours? said the Sharptooth.
Er, Chomper. said Chomper.
You have some nerve hunting near the Great Valley. Surprised they don’t give you any trouble. said Shredder.
Nah, the ones that do end up like that. Chomper lied, for he didn’t want the stranger to know he was a Flattooth friend, for he hated being laughed at, pointing at the bones of the dead Fast Biters.
There are five particular Flatteeth in there that I owe a beat down on. A Longneck, a Threehorn, a Swimmer, a Flyer, and a Spiketail. said Shredder.
Tucompso whispered to Chomper There is something about the presence of this one that scares me.
What did they do to you? asked Chomper.
The Longneck damaged my eye and all of them pushed a boulder on my head, giving my this scar. said Shredder. I nearly drowned but somehow managed to come back to the surface. I spent many cold times looking for the brats and believe, based on stories from these Fast Biters named Screech and Thud, that they live in the Great Valley.
Tucompso remarked Man, that must have been epic. Six great big dinosaurs in an all out brawl.
I wish the tiny morsel would just shut up. I just swallow them whole. These things aren’t worth to live. said Shredder coldly.
It was five little brats actually. They were kids then, but I expect, since it’s been 20 cold times, that they are now adults. I’ll have the last laugh on those brats soon, though. I’m going to attack the Great Valley with my Two Claw pack. I’ve become the leader of one over the cold times. And I have been scouting out the Great Valley. The little brats led me to an entrance of it and I’ve had the chance to spy upon it. said Shredder. He reaches toward Tucompso. Are you going to eat that little thing? If not, I’ll take it. said Shredder.
Chomper puts the shorty sharptooth in his mouth and pretends to swallow him whole. Nah, I’ll take him. said Chomper.
Nice meeting you Chomper. said Shredder, before leaving. When Shredder was gone, Chomper spat out Tucompso.
I think I know who he is after. He’s after my friends. said Chomper.
That jerk is downright evil, wanting to eat little guys like me whole! said Tucompso.
