CHAPTER FOUR
“Does anyone know where Sharptooth is hiding? We need to know what he is up to.” said Cera.
“Me doubt many here will volunteer to go spy on him.” said Petrie.
“I’ll go. It’s my mother he killed.” said Littlefoot.
“No, I can’t let you put yourself in danger. I’ll go. Unlike you, he isn’t trying to kill me.” said Chomper.
“Chomper, be careful.” said Ali.
“Always.” Chomper replied.
Tucompso asked Chomper, what are they saying? do they like my artwork or not?
They liked it. It was Sharptooth that they are afraid of. As you know, Sharptooth viciously ripped the flesh off of the back of Littlefoot’s mother. And, apparently, she wasn’t his only victim. He was dreaded around the area where the Great Earthshake happened. Indeed, many fell during that dreaded quake, but he was the only one to survive it. He is quite powerful. said Chomper.
Tucompso said And he said he will invade the great valley? Wanting revenge for… and he starts to laugh, getting almost drowned by children?
I would like to know what this is about too. It seems odd that he’d attack the whole Great Valley just to get at Littlefoot and his friends. But that is what I’m going to find out. said Chomper.
Be careful. said Tucompso.
The male Egg Stealer whispered to his mate “Seems my judgment was right. Let’s stay away from the Great Valley until all this is over. Now, let’s get out before we are spotted. Unless you still want some eggs while we are here.”
Before they can leave, however, Chomper, who is heading out to go find Shredder, comes across them. “What are you doing here? Planning to steal eggs? You know, the Great Valley has authorized me to EAT any Egg Stealers that try and sneak into here to make off with eggs. I suggest you tell the truth. It will be worse for you if you don’t.” he said to them.
“If you’re going to eat us, you can only eat us one at a time, so I would suggest you start with me so I can give you your exercise.” said the male Egg Stealer. He meant was that he would delay Chomper long enough for his mate to get away. Chomper realizes this too.
“You were going to sacrifice yourself so she could get away? That’s so sweet.” said Chomper. “But, you still were planning to eat eggs, form the looks of it. The Great Valley would NOT be pleased with me if I just let you go, er, undigested. However, I am pretty full right now and have had enough bloodshed for one day with those 14 Fast Biters, and so have decided to give you one chance at not being a meal stored for some other day. I want to know if you know where a certain Sharptooth is.” he said to them. He described Shredder. “Do you know where he is? If not, I suggest you tell me the truth. I can always taste you with my tongue for many minutes before eating you if you try anything funny.” Chomper warned.
“You mean like trying to convince you we have information when we don’t to try to increase our chances of staying alive? Tempting, but probably a bad idea, just a guess. What would you suggest we do if we want to get this over with sooner and still survive long enough to go somewhere you can’t follow if you change your mind?” asked the male Egg Stealer.
“If you are truthful, I wouldn’t change my mind, even if hungry. Now, if I were really starving, I wouldn’t even bother to give you a chance. As it is, I am stuffed with fish and Fast Biter. I cannot down you now, for I will suffer food loss as my stomach wouldn’t be able to handle you both.” he said. He pounces on the male Egg Stealer with strong force, knocking the wind out of him. He puts a claw over his throat. “Ok, do you have any information on the Sharptooth I described. If now, I’ll deal with you and give your mate a five minute head start. However, I should warn her, Egg Stealers DON’T have a good track record of outrunning me.” Chomper said.
The male Egg Stealer tries to speak but he is to terrified to utter even a slight syllable, he fights desperately to over come it and speak but only succeeds in watering the grass.
“Ew. Yuck! You aren’t the first one to do that to me, but ti still is unpleasant.” said Chomper in disgust. He moves his foot claw a bit away from the Egg Stealer. “Ok, are you going to talk or are you going to empty your bladder some more?” Chomper asked.
“Yes I have heard of this Sharptooth, in a large lush valley I have over heard flat teeth talking about him, we also over heard 2 sharpteeth mention he is on his way over hear for revenge. Now please please please don’t kill me!” said the male Egg Stealer, shaking and pleading for his life.
“Do you happen to know where he lives? He menitoned this pack he was in control of. That could be helpful. Could you at least point me the way and give me directions to this lush valley? And, once you do that, I suggest you find a new home. If this place comes under attack, Shredder might use you as a breath mint.” said Chomper to them.
“Yes, to find this lush valley, look down. Your standing in it!” said the male Egg Stealer.
“He lives here?” asked Chomper incredulously. “Say, this isn’t some sort of joke, is it? If it is, I shall use you to pick my nose first and then eat you later.” Chomper said.
The male Egg Stealer said “No, I was telling you where I first heard of him. Hear, I first heard of him hear. Is my mate still hear? maybe she knows something. Please say something dear, anything you think could save me please!”
“By the way, how can you hear Sharpteeth? Most of them don’t speak Leaf Eater. If you really did hear someone tell you where he is, then tell me and I can go find them and ask them. Any tricks and I promise more of you than your bladder water will be spilled on the ground.” Chomper warned, raising his claws on his feet over the male Egg Stealer, poised to slash.
“Some of us only know Flattooth, some of us only know Sharptooth, some of us have spent a long long time somewhere in between where both dwell. Also I am starting to think you don’t like me. If your going to kill me just get it over with, because I don’t have anything I can give to convince you to let me go. Just please, be painless. I can’t take any more of this. Please just get it over with.” begged the male.
“No, you wouldn’t believe the nonsense some prey give me. All these lies. One tends to get doubtful after a while. You aren’t the first Egg Stealers to try and make a deal with me. However, you may get the honor of being the first ones to, well, live.” said Chomper. “You said that there were some guys down there that knew. I shall go and find out. If I find you’ve been pulling my leg, a lot more of you than your leg is going to be pulled when I catch up with you.” said Chomper. He releases the Egg Stealer and heads off down further into the lush valley.
