CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
(WARNING: This section also has stuff in it that is rated T.)
Tiny says “Ok I suppose we can cut him into three sections. Sorry Chomper but you can’t even digest Egg Stealer. Youur butt fumes would make the sky water taste funny.”
“But I like Egg Stealer arms!” Chomper protests, licking his lips.
The four soon spot Ozzy. He tries to run from them, but, in his panic,runs into a wall and is knocked out. Chomper gets to him and pins him down. “Can I please have a piece?” Chomper begs his wife.
Tiny relents. “Fine, you can have the arms, but you’re sleeping outside tonight.”
Ozzy wakes up. “What,you’ve caught me! Can’t we do best two out of three?” he asks, staring at them.
Chomper says “I already caught you twice. You’ve given me a lot of exercise. You’ve delayed me enough for the night. I was trying to figure out what to do about my uncle when you and your brother interrupted.”
Phyco, Rusty, Zelda, and Marie find Chomper and the others. There you are. Did you get the eggs? asks Phyco.
Yep, none broken. Got the Egg Stealer too. said Chomper.
“I suppose you are going to eat me just like you did my brother.” Ozzy says to Chomper and Tiny, shaking his head.
Tiny says “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Well, it will be a little nibble, but we can manage.”
Ozzy finds a rock nearby and throws it at Chomper, which conks him in the head, cutting him slightly. “That’s for biting my arm earlier.” he snaps. He tries to escape, but Tiny grabs him. “Oh man!” Ozzy whines.
Tiny grumbles “Fine, make a lady do all the hard work.” She begins ripping him to pieces.
Sometime later, the group has their fill. “Not to worry Tiny, I have a plan this time.” he says. He leaves the group and stands some distance away from the group. A loud PHHHHHHHHHBBBBTTT! emits from his backside and a small sapling, which is right behind him, is knocked down by the blast.
Ok, now what are we going to do about my uncle? Chomper asks the others.
You have an uncle? Lucky! Thanks to Flatteeth,I never met my family. They stole me as an egg. Ichy grumbles.
Same here. said Dil.
That is the other problem. It’s possible the Great Valley tried the same thing on me, but that Littlefoot was foiled by the arrival of my parents. I’m not sure if I have it in me to kill a family member. says Chomper to Rusty, Phyco, Marie, Zelda, and Tiny.
Tiny says Phyco, slap me!
Phyco protests But you’re my friend, I would nev…
Tiny grumbles Just be a friend and slap me would you?
Phyco hits her softly. Whatever, close enough.
Marie asks Why? What is this about?
Tiny says I should have thought of it to begin with. If Shredder thinks someone has already killed the flatteeth he is after, he will simply cease this stupidity and no one has to kill anyone. We simply convince him they are already dead.
Before the group can say more, the herd of Longnecks Shredder is after moves by, not seeing the nine Sharpteeth.
“Dil, let’s use our Flattooth-speaking ability to lure one or two away from the others, then we pounce!” said Ichy to Dil.
Tiny says “Or, we get out of the way before we are trampled to death, sure it’s worth the risk?”
Chomper comes up to Shredder. A bit brave to take on all those Longnecks by yourself, are you? he asks.
I thought you were taking a break along with your mate. Shredder says.
I was wondering, what did the Flatteeth you were after look like, especially when you attacked them? I just thought of something from what you said earlier and I wanted to make sure. Chomper said, hopng his plan will work.
Shredder described them again. I thought so. Good news, many cold times ago, as a kid, I encountered those Flatteeth. I killed them. says Chomper. Chomper described his attack on Littlefoot & Co, leaving out the part that he’d left them alive. So they’re dead. We can leave off our attack on the Great Valley. Chomper concluded.
I’m glad that they’re all dead, but I cannot let it be known that you, as a kid, did what I couldn’t as an adult. The rest of the pack cannot find out. Thus, I’m still continuing the attack. And, I should have told you, when I found out two days ago, your father Tyro is my brother. I am your uncle. I look forward to making you my heir in the future. said Shredder. He heads back into the cave.
“Tiny, I have an idea.” Chomper says.
“Could you two go to the Great Valley? You know Leaf Eater. You can tell the Great Valley that I am a good Sharptooth and didn’t kill those Clubtails out of spite, but to save Tiny. And you can tell them that I’m still ok.” Chomper asked Dil and Ichy.
“Good idea, we walk in, get trampled by a herd of dangerous flatteeth, and die horribly.” Dil says nodding sarcastically.
“Hmmm, Ichy, you can fly. Will you go fly in? Look for Littlefoot.” said Chomper.
Ichy replied “Yes, I’m small and fast, so if anything goes wrong and they to hurt me they would have to catch me first, which they can’t. Yes, that is a sound strategy, so we will embark on this mission.”
Guido, meanwhile, asked Bella “So where are these other Glider from? Did you find any last night? I haven’t seen any myself and I’ve looked sometimes. I’m kind of afraid to go looking too far out there in the Mysterious Beyond now that I’ve come to the Great Valley.”
Bella replies “You silly silly silly, I meant us. We have children.”
“Oh.” said Guido. “Coming up.”
Chomper and Tiny, meanwhile, return to their cave. They find that Strut is still there. “Well, we got the eggs back. Your brother decided to make it hard on us, so we had no choice but to eat him. I don’t think it’s safe for you to stay here much longer tonight. The Bright Circle will rise in a few hours and then the pack will be up. I don’t think you want to be here when they are. Just be sure to stay nearby. Tiny and I might need your help later. Strut nods and leaves. “Now, Tiny, tomorrow, we warn the Longneck herd. I bet my uncle will still try and attack them. And we have to warn the Flyers too. And I need to think over what to do. I don’t know who I should consider more of my family: my Uncle Shredder or the Flatteeth Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike.
CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
Chomper tosses and turns in his sleep. Join me, and be all that you were meant to be. Be a regular Sharptooth! Embrace your destiny! says Shredder.
“No, Chomper, you’re a Friendly Sharptooth! You belong in the Great Valley! You’re one of us!” called Littlefoot.
He kidnapped you and tried to take you away from your parents! shouted Shredder.
“He killed my Mother!” shouted Littlefoot.
You are my nephew! Join me Chomper! shouts his uncle.
“No,we’re you’re friends! Join us!” shouts Littlefoot.
Chomper is unsure what to do. Something within him takes control. His Sharptooth nature. He moves at Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Ruby, and Ali, aiming to kill.
“NOOOO!” he jumps up out of his sleep, panting and dripping sweat.
“What’s a matter dear?” Tiny asks him, concerned.
“Terrible Sleep Story. I dreamed that I was deciding between Littlefoot and my uncle. My Sharptooth nature kicked in. I killed my friends. I did it! Problem is, I DO feel like I’m losing control. I had held it back because I believed that they had saved me, that they cared for me. If all I ever was was a tool to them, should I defend Flatteeth any longer? I could live out here, be respected for all the weaknesses I know about Flatteeth, and be a normal Sharptooth.” Chomper says.
Tiny says “Ichy will be at the Great Valley any second now. He might learn more to the story, decisions are easier with knowledge.”
Meanwhile, Ichy indeed has arrived at the Great Valley. Tired from his flight, he lands on a rock to rest.
Littlefoot spots him and cries “Sharp Beak!”
“It the one that try and eat Petrie when we in Land of Mists!” cries Petrie in alarm.
“What’s he doing here?” Cera grumbles.
Ichy replies “Calm down, I only wanted food. This is important, I have a message from chomper. He mentioned you knowing he killed clubtails, and wanted to know he was only defending Tiny, who he is in love with.”
“How is Chomper?” asks Ruby.
Ichy says “He seems happy, he has a loving wife, he has many friends, and if you smelled something funny last night, he had an Egg Stealer for a late night snack.”
“Yes, we tell Chomper to stay away from us for a while after he eats those.” Cera remarks.
“We already know that he is innocent. We figured out about Tiny from what we heard from Egg Stealers that Chomper met. Where is he now? Is he ok? He’s been gone a long time.” says Littlefoot.
Ichy replies “I believe he was going to convince his uncle you’re dead so he stops pursuing you. After that, I doubt he would need to stay gone too much longer.”
“Wait, Sharptooth is Chomper’s uncle? Why hasn’t he ever told us?” asked Littlefoot.
“And to think you raised him as an egg when Sharptooth killed your mother.” Cera said to Littlefoot.
Ichy laughs “You think your upset? You should see how Chomper was taking it when he found out. Meanwhile the only family I ever really had was Dil. Wait, didn’t you say you wanted to know his location? I guess I am missing some of these questions.”
“I never got to ask you earlier, as you were trying to kill us and we were trying not to be killed, but how do you know how to speak Leaf Eater?” Ali asked Ichy.
Ichy says “When I was an egg I was abducted by flatteeth so they could raise me not to eat them, when I became old enough to actually do so rather then trusting in the training they gave me they betrayed me and I was banished.”
“We’d never have done such a terrible thing like what they did!” said Cera.
“Yes, imagine stealing a Sharptooth from his parents just to try and turn him nice!” said Littlefoot.
Ichy says “So, I best be going, anything you would like me to tell him when I get back?”
Littlefoot asks “How is he doing? What’s he planning to do about his uncle?”
Ichy replies “As near as I can tell he is trying to get more and more of the pack to side with him and start a mutiny. So far he has… five I believe, who are siding with him and making plans. Not sure other then that.”
“Say, what is Tiny like? Is she friendly or not?” asked Cera. “It wouldn’t do to have Chomper bring a vicious Sharptooth here.”
“She is nice now. From what I heard from her, she is an orphan whose parents were killed by Clubtails. She and Chomper chased after an Egg Stealer who stole four of their eggs, but they got them back, then he stole 10 more from others, but they got them back and got him too.” said Ichy.
“Wait, Chomper has eggs?” gasped Littlefoot.
“Yes!” said Ichy.
“Pato. Emelia. You’re getting new playmates!” said Ali.
“Oh boy!” said the two Longneck children.
“Well, I’ve got to be going. I’ll nform you if anythig goes on.” said Ichy. He turns to go.
“Wait, if you are willing to be a Friendly Sharptooth, you are welcome to come back and stay here.” said Littlefoot.
“I’ll consider it.” said Ichy, before leaving.
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
Ichy arrives back to where Chomper is, landing and catching his breath.
“What news did they bring?” asks Chomper.
Ichy replies “They already know the story, said they heard the reason the clubtails died from two friendly egg stealers.”
“Did you find out why they wanted to take my egg? Am I just a tool to them?” Chomper asks.
Ichy replies “No, they think kidnapping is sick and something they say they would never do. I guess the whole thing must have been an accident, or perhaps destiny. Nice guys, glade we didn’t catch them. And Chomper, they miss you, and hope you can come home soon and let your children play with theirs.”
Chomper spotted Shredder coming. “You’d better leave.” he said to Ichy. Ichy took off just before Shredder came into site.
Hello Chomper my nephew. I’d like you to help me lead the attack on the Flyer herd today. I seem to have lost the Longneck herd. he said to Chomper.
I bet they where so scared of you they left the land of mist forever and hopped they would have better chances in the land of the featherhead sharpteeth. Tiny says half humoredly.
The pack, after an hour of traveling, comes near the Flyer herd. “Hey Tiny, what is the status of the rest of the pack? I asked you, Marie, Zelda, Phyco, and Rusty to find out how loyal they are to Shredder. I’m guessing they are getting tired of him.” Chomper whispered to his wife.
Tiny said “I am sorry Chomper, I have gotten sidetracked and forgot to check most of the time. But there is this one who formed a sudden habit of sleeping on his back with his legs in the air while saying ‘Please, no more walking. No more walking.’ in his sleep.”
“So, Tiny, how do you think we can save the Flyers?” Chomper whispered to his mate.
Tiny replies “Well, they can fly. Catching them requires a special strategy, but the odds are in their flavor. I do have one idea how we can save them and no one could ever guess we had to do with it, but you may think it’s kinda mean.”
“I may think it’s mean, but I bet the Flyers would probably prefer it to being eaten.” Chomper said.
Tiny says “Stinging buzzers. As the pack reaches the climax of their ambush we toss in a nest of them, the flyers run away from the stinging swarm, and the hunt is ruined, everyone having the blame on the buzzers.”
Chomper smiles and says “Perfect.”
Meanwhile, Tucompso says to Guido and Bella Ok, you two promised you’d help me look for a mate. There is one place that I haven’t looked yet. I had actually been on the way there when I had to go to the Great Valley to escape all of those Sharpteeth. It’s that Lush Valley right next to the Great Valley. It’s a young forest that grew up about 10 years after that Leaf Famine.
The two take Tucompso to the Lush Valley. They find a female shorty sharptooth there. She is looking around, wary.
I hope those aren’t Sharp Beaks in the sky. I don’t need any more of those today. And I got away from that Sailback too. Don’t know how he even saw me and, even more to the point, why he thought me worth the effort of chasing. It’s a wonder I make it through each day. she says to herself.
Tucompso said A Sailback perused you you say? I’d be glad to punish it by making it burn yet more calories. Such a foolish thing to waste the life of one so beautiful when it would not do them much good. You know, I was pretty close to this place at one point, their were fast biters, and Sharp beaks. Thankfully I found a place where you can go many days without facing the threat of being someone’s food. Would you like to see? Your family says you’re ugly? That’s quite sad. Where are they? Are you alone?
The female shorty sharptooth says My name is Lumoava. I have left my family, in part because of them being such snubs about how pretty they are. Another reason is, well, I’m supposed to leave to find a mate. Nature’s proving grounds. Yada. Yada. Yada. she says. What brings you here Tucompso? Were you hiding from the Sharptooth pack? They are quite dangerous. They took out a herd of Clubtails near the Long Valley. They attacked Domeheads in the Mountains that Burn. They attacked some Swimmers and Clubtails in a swampy forest. And they are currently heading into the Land of Mists. I had the bad luck to keep coming near them. Luckily, unlike with the Sailback, they never noticed me. So, you said you knew of a safe place? I’d love to go with you to there, but I do have my doubts. In the whole world, there doesn’t seem to be ANY safe place.
Tucompso says Come with me, I will show you this safe place. It’s beautiful. There’s rocks that look like dinosaurs, trees as tall as mountains, if you don’t believe me about it being safe I can always look for somewhere else after you give it a try. Wanna come?
Ok. she replies. The two go together to the Great Valley. Guido and Bella follow them.
CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
Meanwhile, Chomper whispers to Tiny “Release the Stinging Buzzers.” Tiny obeys. The Buzzers chase after the Flyers, scaring them off. The Buzzers also attack many of the Two Claws, including Chomepr and Tiny. In the confusion, Chomper and Tiny are able to toss the bee hives into sinking sands, thus destroy the evidence of their actions.
Blasted Stinging Buzzers! Well, we’ll get the Longnecks. I can still see their footprints! We’ll travel all day if we have to. Shredder says. Several in the pack whine. Quit your whining! We attack the Great Valley in two days! Now come on! The group travels without resting or eating. This time, at least Shredder lets them relieve themselves, much to Rusty’s relief.
At nightfall, the pack starts to find more traces of the Longnecks. I’m tired! whined a Two Claw.
Me too! another added.
Quit your whining! If you think this is hard, how do you expect to take on the Great Valley? Shredder snaps.
“What are we going to do now? Shredder will soon find them and I really don’t want to end up in a situation where I have to attack Longnecks to protect my friends. I am torn inside. You see, I don’t want to hurt Leaf Eaters, but I am friends with Rusty, Marie, Phyco, and Zelda, and, of course, you my dear Tiny. I couldn’t just watch Longnecks kill them or you, even if they are defending themselves from the pack.” Chomper says to Tiny.
Before Tiny can reply, something happens to give Chomper hope. The ground shakes.
Earthshake! Tiny yells. The ground rumbles. The earth starts to open. The Longneck herd, which is nearby, scampers.
Various members of the pack run off yelling Earthshake!
Shredder grumbles Bunch of wimps! I fought a Longneck in the middle of the Great Earthshake itself! This is nothing!
Chomper feels angry inside at Shredder’s mention of his attack on Littlefoot’s mother, but is able to keep from taking any actions that will give away his true loyalties. When the earth stops shaking, the Longnecks are gone and much rubble lies in their path.
Uncle, I think that this will take a while to get through. The Longnecks will be gone by then and they don’t have to mess with this. I suggest we dig through this and attack right before dawn. That way, we can get through this, rest a bit, and then ambush them while they are resting. Better than really expending our enegy now and then attacking them while they are awake and alert. Chomper suggests.
Good call Chomper. I like the way you think. Shredder replies.
Phyco asked You think maybe the Earthshake was, you know, a sign?
Chomper replied Possibly. Sure was convenient. The group moves the rocks. This takes them a while.
Meanwhile, Tucompso says to his new friend So, Lumoava, in case I am not making my intentions clear enough, I want you, and we both have the same goal. If you are interested, I will give you friendship, loyalty, increase your chances of having a full tummy, and I will do so much more to make the rest of your life a paradise, and ask only one thing in return.
And what would that be? she asks him.
That you please be kind to me. Mother and father weren’t the kindest to me because I’m well, a bit short, even for a shorty sharptooth. My brothers and sisters all picked on me. I guess you could say that I have had it hard in life. Tucompso replies.
She stares at him, baffled. So they thought you were too short and they thought I was too ugly. Well, I don’t mind your height and you don’t mind my looks. So I guess that’s a plus. says Lumoava.
Tucompso paces, wondering what she will say. The two of them are on the outskirts of the Great Valley. Lumoava is still uneasy about being with Flatteeth. Suddenly, a Large Claw (Deinonychus) appears. It chases after the two of them, its maw dripping with saliva. Tucompso is able to get ahead of Lunoava. However, she doesn’t see where she is going and trips over a small rock. The Large Claw moves toward her. Oh look, dinner!
Tucompso stares at her and starts to move her direction. No, save yourself! she cries to him.
The Large Claw moves to bite her, but Tucompso jumps at its face and grabs onto it, clutching it with his claws. The creature cries out in pain. Go! Tucompso yells to Ludoava. She lingers, not wanting to leave him. I said go! Tucompso yells again. This time, she flees to the safety of the Great Valley.
The Large Claw tries to attack Tucompso. He moves and it strikes itself in the face. The creature cries out in pain. Tucompso uses the opportunity to scamper to the safety of the Great Valley.
Tucompso said Alright, now that that’s over let’s enjoy the sights and sounds. Tell me, do you like it here so far?
You saved me. You know what, you can be my mate. We’ll have our union ceremony tomororw night. said Lenoava.
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX
(Note: This chapter has stuff that is rated T.)
Two hours before dawn, Chomper woke Tiny and the other allies. “I’ve got to to get the Longnecks out of here. And we need to find a way to stop my uncle today. Nobody must die in the Great Valley if I can help it. Also, once he gets in, he’ll find out I was lying about the five Flatteeth being dead. Then he’ll be onto me, and, if he looks into it enough, all six of us.” said Chomper to Tiny.
“Well, hurry up. I’m going to get some Domeheads to eat. I’ve spent plenty in the Land of MIsts.” said Tiny, licking her lips.
“Tiny, did you find out if any of the pack would be willing to join us? I know you said one was having bad Sleep Stories about walking too much. Any others? Also, are there any that would definitely side with Shredder over us? Any that are pretty loyal to him?” Chomper asks Tiny.
Tiny said Definitely by definition, no, so far none that would assuredly side with Shredder, but I have noticed some seemed to be holding back quite a load of emotions about that long hunt yesterday.
Phyco said You know Chomper don’t get me wrong, I find your fondness of the flatteeth beautiful, but the only reason I don’t complain that your efforts to save them could result in going hungry is, well, with Shredder’s extremity in these hunts I worry their won’t be any flatteeth left, which kinda justifies going hungry.
Chomper went to go see the group of Longnecks. They were all asleep. He recognized one of them, Rhett. Rhett and he weren’t on the best of terms. Still, Rhett would know that he was a friendly Sharptooth. It seemed his best chance. He shook Rhett awake.
“I told you, your tree stars blew away, I did not steal them, now go back to sleep.” Rhett grumbles, then tosses turns and curls up defensively to try harder to sleep.
After a moment back asleep Rhett wonders if perhaps it was someone else with a more important reason for waking him. He turns and looks at Chomper. “Hey I remember you. You’re the reason I’m going to die a virgin. What do you want?”
“I wanted to warn you. There is a Sharptooth pack about to attack your herd. They were going to do it last night but luckily that Earthshake saved your tushes. Their leader, Shredder, was going to try and go for you right away but I suggested that he rest first and attack later. His plan would have gotten some of the pack killed and some of you guys killed. I convinced hm to attack at dawn, so that, of course, I could be there earlier and save you guys. You should get the herd leader and convince him or her to send the herd to the Great Valley. It’s going to be attacked tomorrow and will need all the help it can get.” Chomper told Rhett.
“Hurry Chomper. We need the herd out of here before the pack gets up. ” Tiny calls to Chomper.
“Who is she?” Rhett asks.
“My wife.” replies Chomper.
Rhett said “Well, don’t want to get eaten. Get out of sight Chomper, I got this, don’t want the herd to see you first thing they wake up.”
As soon as Chomper is gone Rhett bites a Longneck’s tail.
The Longneck snaps “Ouch! what the $#*! was that?”
Rhett replies “A Sharptooth! it tried to eat you in your sleep but your scream scared it away. Look, footprints! That is from a member of the pack that’s been causing all the chaos, we are all going to die if we don’t go now!”
The Longneck wakes the others and the herd leaves. Sometime later, Shredder and the rest fo the pack stare at the footprints of the gone herd. We had them, how could they have left? he asked.
Don’t know. said Tiny.
Well, this pack isn’t eating anything till we find them. We must be skilled at catching herds, or else we won’t be able to beat the Great Valley tomorrow. Shredder says. The pack moans. They set off after the Longnecks.
Phyco says Hey Chomper, you happen to have anything that will make my tummy less angry? My apologies if I come off as grouchy, I know you just don’t like the idea of flatteeth getting hurt but I wish we could eat something, perhaps let the get caught just one time? I just don’t want to be hungry like… Phyco stands their for a moment starring off, a blank and somewhat horrified expression on his face.
Tiny cries Phyco?… Phyco you ok?
Phyco doesn’t reply. Come on Phyco snap out of it.
Phyco says I’m sorry, I was having a flash back. He then continues walking like nothing ever happened. Let me know if you find something we can eat when you know who isn’t looking.
Chomper asks What kind of flashback were you having? I would like to know about you when you were out there after your parents died. How did you meet Tiny? Tiny and I have been pretty busy and haven’t had much time to mention all of her past. She doesn’t want to talk about an incident involving you and her and Sailbacks when she was in her teens.
Phyco said Sorry I can only tell one story at a time. I pick how I met Tiny. It was 5 cold times after my parents had died, and I had found the three horn herd that had killed my parents. I wasn’t quite ready to take them on, but I was about ready to take away about 45% of a teen age threehorns health. Years of pain had built up inside of me, near starvation, fatal illnesses, bad wounds, nearly eaten by other sharpteeth, all because I had no parents to shield me from such horrors. At the time the forest was dry, and I found a flowing fire pool. It gave me a idea.
I then picked up a stick, and set the brush ablaze, being sure to set up all the escape routs I can. Then the threehorns began to panic, making all kinds of three horn noises, they could not decide where to run to so they had ran all over. However after that I then realized that I was in my own mess. Trapped, no way out, and doomed to burn in my own fire. So I had ran from the flames, trying to get away from them but they where hot, they where everywhere, I had trouble seeing in the smoke the light and the memories suddenly clouding my vision. Then, I saw a area I might be able to climb out, higher ground on a rock ledge. The smoke was thick, my lungs where burning, but I did not want to die.
Tiny said At the time I to was alone, a orphan looking for food. I then looked out and beheld the forest was on fire, dying threehorns where out their, screaming, burning, I thanked my luck that I was well out of reach. Then, I saw a poor little twoclaw pup trying desperately to climb up to me, his feet looked like some of the packs feet are starting to with shredder in command, his tummy stuck to his backbone, many scratches on him, eyes that said “I have seen some things”. I realized he had gone through worse then I had. I couldn’t just let him die. I reached down, and I pulled him to safety. From that time on we had remained together for the next 8 cold times, together we where able to get food 12 times easier, we protected each other, if not for each other we surly would have died. Then, we began to find more of our kind.
Phyco said Once the flames had died we searched the aftermath, and we had found some of the threehorns escaped the fire well enough that their bodies where unburned enough to eat, and the smoke and burn made their meet last four extra weeks without being able to spoil. It was good eating that day.
Tiny said I wonder if any threehorns survived.
Phyco said Even they don’t know the answer to that.
Meanwhile, a Longneck says to the herd “Rhett here saved the herd. Rhett warned me about the Two Claws and we were able to get out in time.”
“Yes, I did, I saved the herd.” said Rehtt, smirking.
“So, these Sharpteeth have come after us twice now. What should we do?” the herd leader asked his herd.
A really stupid Longneck replies “If they won’t give up, rather then running how about we go on the offensive?”
“Attack a pack of Sharpteeth? Do you really think that’s necessary?” asked the leader, raising his eyebrows. The dumb Longneck just shuts up.
“What do you think we should do Rhett? You’ve alerted us to the Sharpteeth and helped save the herd.” the herd leader asks Rhett.
Rhett replies “Uh… we can, sleep in shifts? Some awake and on guard while others sleep?”
Around nightfall, Tucompso and Lenoava have their union ceremony.
At last, I have a mate! says Tucompso happily. So, now that we are together forever, got any goals for our future? Perhaps we can have our honeymoon on the beach, have a buffet of both sea and land food.
Lumoava said Ok, sounds like a great idea handsome. The two go to the beach.
Tucompso said You know I always believed skywater is the big waters breath, know why? He points to fog rising in the distance becoming clouds.
No, I don’t. she replies.
Tucompso suggests Perhaps play toss the shell?
They play toss the shell. Eventually, it gets too dark to see. Ok, I cannot see that well anymore. I lost the shell when I tossed it and cannot find it. We’ll have to do something else now. said Lumoava.
Tucompso said I do have one other idea what we can do, would you prefer to do it in the morning where we have better light? If so, lets go to bed, and in the morning, we will have the comfort of the bright circle.
How about now? suggested Lumoava.
Tucompso asked Want to mate?
Lemoava replied I’d love to.
Tucompso is excited, he begins to nuzzle Lemoava then rubbing her back. Well there is only one appropriate way to thank you for saying yes. He begins to mount her nice and slow to savor the moment.
Not too hard. says Lumoava, grinning at him.
CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN
The pack finally comes in sight of the Longneck herd again. I want them finished. You don’t want to attack the Great Valley on an empty stomach, now do you? Now go! says Shredder.
The pack, hungry, advances toward the Longenck herd. Chomper is powerless to stop them. As much as he wants to save them, he cannot expose himself and his plans right now. Besides, he had already made two attempts to save the herd. It wasn’t like he hadn’t tried. And he could still try, but he needed to be out of sight of his uncle. Then he could save as many as he could. Also, there was the matter of the attack on the Great Valley. He couldn’t hold off anymore.
He noticed a storm coming, the same storm that Tucompso had seen on the beach. Uncle, when this place has sky water come down, it can REALLY come down. I suggest we call off the hunt. Chomper says. He walked with his uncle. The two were away from the others.
No my nephew, we need to be prepared. It’s time we avenge the honor of our family. said Shredder.
But I don’t see why attacking the Great Valley when the Flatteeth you are after are already dead is going to do any good. Chomper said to his uncle.
You know that the pack doesn’t know that. I would lose my honor if I let them find out that I failed yet you, as a child, beat them. We will continue. said Shredder.
You know many in the pack will get killed in this attack. I cannot see the justification in this when the Flatteeth you are after are already dead. Chomper protested.
Someday, when you are the leader of the pack, you will know exactly WHY the leader needs to preserve his honor. Now don’t question me again! Don’t be like your father. He tries to stop me you know. I was even stronger than I had been when I was gaining on those Flatteeth. I could smell them coming from the Mountains that Burn and was laying in ambush for them. He attacked me to try and stop me as he knew what I was up to for I had met him. He was going to raise your egg near the Great Valley. I told him it would be easier to eat the Flatteeth in there with my help, and that together we could break in and take the place. You see, Flatteeth hide in there and we Sharpteeth have never been able to get them. I told him that together, we could find a way in. But he refused and fought me. I nearly got the upper hand and killed the traitor and he got away. I was going to deal with him later, but then recalled the kids and didn’t want them to get passed. However, those little brats set a trap for me. But this time they aren’t that prepared. And those fools showed me an entrance to the Great Valley, one right above one of the falls. I found a way up that route that Sharpteeth can use. Your cowardly father never mentioned me, because he didn’t want you to meet your true destiny. But fate was in my favor. I met you near the Great Valley. You are strong Chomper, for you not only eat Flatteeth, you are bold enough to fight other Sharpteeth for your meals, knowing that the strong must prey on the weak. You will be my heir. And I will give to you a special possession: control of the Great Valley. said his uncle.
Chomper and walks away from his uncle. He pretends to be hunting Flatteeth. He comes across Rhett and the leader of the Longneck herd, along with some other Longnecks. “I know. I know. I’m a Sharptooth. But I’m friendly. I tried to help you get away twice. My wife and I scared you off the first time and then the second time, I had Rhett warn you. Now they are back. I cannot expose myself to them. You see their leader wants to attack the Great Valley tomomrrow. He is using herds as practice. I saved a Yellow Belly herd, a Threehorn herd, a Flyer herd, and a Swimmer herd. I was even able to save a bit of a Spiketail herd. I’m sorry that some of your herd is being killed now. I came to save as many as I can.” Chomper says to the Longnecks.
The Longneck leader said “What exactly is going on? Sharpteeth have never been this persistent before, it seems unnatural. Like they’re not just trying to get a meal and have intentions purely bent on doing us harm. Also more suspiciously then even that, why are you on our side?”
Chomper replies “It’s a long story. Suffice it to say that I am a friend of the Great Valley. I heard about the pack leader and his plans to attack the Great Valley and joined his pack as a double agent. I’ve been sabotaging his efforts as much as I can.”
The herd leader says”Yah yah we don’t have time for long stories, only reason we haven’t started running yet is we stopped to chat.”
“Go! Go! The longer you stay, the more danger you are in!” Chomper said to them, ushering them to move again with his claws. The herd begins to leave.
Tucompso meanwhile says to Lumoava So my lovely Lumoava, did you enjoy? How did I do?
Lumoava says Fine.
Tucompso says I’ll get better eventually. Now, what did you mention about a sharptooth pack earlier?
I heard they were attacking various herds. I think they ultimately plan to attack the Great Valley tomorrow. Wait, they’re attacking the Great Valley tomorrow! That’s where we’re staying! she gasps.
Tucompso says Yes, that’s what I wanted to tell you about. But mating with you was kinda higher on my list of priorities. Now, there is a sharptooth among them that is working for the Great Valley. His name is Chomper. He is trying to find a way the great valley can be protected. Unfortunately the flatteeth don’t seem to have a plan, when I ask them they just make weird noises. But, we can wait up their on that rock ledge where nothing can reach us. Want to go check it out?
Lumoava said Ok.
Tucompso helps Lumoava climb to the top of the rock, around the area it is hard stone, to difficult to be climbed by anything bigger then a hidden runner, but manageable for something small and light that can use most of the grippable rocks. But at the top, their is softer rock, to a point that some is so near dirt that grass is growing up hear. The area is like a plateau almost. A large area with a view of the Great Valley on one side, and the mysterious beyond on the other. Here, the two can easily be safe.
Meanwhile, the Longnecks keep running. Some get away and some don’t. Rhett is running from the pack. He is able to get away by not helping others,leaving them to fall to the Sharpteeth. Sharptooth,wanting to get Rhett, calls to him, out of sight “Come on, this way!”
“All right!” said Rhett, thinking it a member of the herd. He comes and is knocked over by Sharptooth. “Wait, you’re a Sharptooth! And you can talk!” gasped Rhett.
“Yes, I can. Bye bye Longneck!” said Sharptooth. He moved to attack Rhett.
“You’re the second Sharptooth today that I met that can talk.” said Rhett. Shredder paused.
“The second? Who else did you meet?” he asked.
“Chomper. He knows Leaf Eater too. He is in league with the Great Valley. He was hatched by these Flatteeth. He is pals with a Longneck, a Threehorn, a Swimmer, a Spiketail, a Flyer, and a Fast Runner. The Sharptooth was hatched by them as a kid. He was going undercover in your pack. I can help you stop the Great Valley. I want them stopped too. And I want those Flatteeth you are after dead too.” said Rhett.
“Chomper? He’s my nephew! He wouldn’t be helping the Great Valley or Flatteeth. He said he joined the pack to look for a mate.” said Sharpooth incredulously.
“Your nephew? Guess he repays you by siding with the Great Valley and helping herds get away from you. He says that he has helped herds get away from you.” said Rehtt.
Sharptooth thought on this. Yes, the Yellow Bellies had gotten away and he couldn’t explain it. Also, Chomper had come back with Tiny and said that the Threehorns had been killed. He himself had never seen the bodies.
“What did these Flatteeth look like? The ones you said Chomper is in league with?” Sharptooth asked. Rhett described Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, and Ruby. “I don’t know the Fast Runner, but from what you told me about the others when they were younger, it’s clear Chomper is lying to me. Perhaps my own nephew plans to depose me and take over the pack for himself. Whatever the reason, he’s betrayed me. I have an idea. You meet with him alone and then dispose of him.” said Sharptooth.
“Ok, can I ask for somethinig else? I have this plan. Littlefoot, the Longneck you are after, ruined my life. He took Ali from me and married her. I want Ali for myself. I’ll help lure Littlefoot and the others into a trap. You can kill all of them, including his kids, but leave Ali for me.” said Rhett.
“Deal.” said Sharptooth.
Meanwhile Phyco is standing next to Tiny and watches as Chomper returns.
Tiny asks “So, is the herd safe?”
“I think so. I saved as much as I could.” Chomper said.
“What should we do about tomorrow?” Tiny asked.
“I do have an idea. I know my uncle plans to attack in the morning. I happen to know one of the Longnecks in that herd. His name is Rhett. I’ll send him to the Great Valley and evacuate Littlefoot and his friends. Heck, maybe we can evacuate the whole place. Then Shredder will look foolish. I can say that he has failed as the leader and stage a coup. The pack will probably back me. Then I banish him from the pack and we can then send everyone back to the Great Valley. That way, Littlefoot and his friends are fine and I don’t have to kill my uncle.” said Chomper to his wife.
Tiny asks “Think he will manage fine on his own out there? I mean as in, with no one to keep him in check?”
Chomper said “I think Shredder can get food on his own, yes.”
Tiny says “I’m not worried about Shredder, I’m worried about what he might kill without even needing to eat.”
Chomper paused. “Well, that is problematic, but, well, he’s a family member. If I don’t have to kill him, I don’t want to. Would you want to if you were in my spot?” he asked Tiny.
“Did I say you should? What I am thinking is, mabye send him someone who can go with him, like a seeing eye flyer but, more a thinking brain buddy. Someone to keep him rehabilitated during his time alone.” says Tiny.
“Send someone to spy on him you mean?” asked Chomper. “Could work. Anyway, I’ve got to get to Rhett. Time is of the essence.”
Chomper travels to see Rhett. He finds him near a steep cliff. “Rhett, I’m glad to see you. I’ve got a favor to ask of you.” he said to Rhett.
Chomper sees Sharptooth nearby. “Rhett, look…” Rhett whacks Chomper with his tail, knocking him off the cliff.
Sometime later, Shredder comes to Tiny when she is alone. He is with Rhett. “Rhett, what are you doing…?” she asked, confused on why he was with Sharptooth.
The gig is over and your mate is dead. Now, don’t try any more treachery or I’ll smash these. says Shredder, holding out her eggs. Yes, we attack the Great Valley at sunrise.
Phyco says Um, I’m not sure if you realize this but, if you smash those then Tiny’s children die. You wouldn’t want that would you?
Phyco pleads with him. Normally he would take action immediately, but he doubts his ability to do so without the eggs getting killed.
Tiny here was trying to help the wicked Flatteeth in the Great Valley. Chomper did too, but he had a little ‘accident’. Shredder laughed. Nothing will happen to her eggs as long as she behaves herself. After all, I don’t kill my own great-nieces and great-nephews unless I have to. He leaves, carrying the eggs with him. Rhett follows him. “Bring the Flatteeth into an ambush.. I’ll deal with them and Ali will be yours.” said Shredder to Rhett.
“Gladly. It’s time for some payback.” said Rhett, grinning. Lightning flashes in the sky. The two laugh evilly.
Meanwhile, Tiny says to Phyco What are we going to do?
CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT
Phyco replies I don’t know what we can do, I may have a high immunity to fear due to the part of the brain that induces it being dead from being over worked, but I am smart enough to know stand up to Shredder equals dead eggs. And I don’t want your eggs to die tiny. Mabye Rusty knows; he is wise.
I did think of something. Dil and Ichy. And Strut too. We can send them to the Great Valley. Perhaps they can stop the traitor Rhett! said Tiny to Phyco.
Phyco says Strut was with the eggs for over an hour with everyone distracted by Ozzy. It’s been established he can be trusted not to eat them. Should we send him to save the eggs if he has the skill he says his brother does, or you not willing to risk he will get caught? Without hostages, you and I can double team Shredder. Meanwhile I will go see Dil and Itchy and tell them your plan.
Can you help me raise the kids? Chomper is dead. I’m so devestated! I want to kill Shredder myself, even if I die in the effort! Tiny asks him, breaking into sobs.
I will do what I can. Phyco replies. I will always remember him, he changed everything.
Sometime later, Phyco, Marie, Zelda, and Rusty are with Dil, Ichy, and Strut.
Chomper has been murdered by Rhett. You three are to go to the Great Valley and warn them. Get Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Ali, Pato, Amelia, and Ruby out of there. Also, get Littlefoot’s grandparents out of there. They are pretty elderly and will need extra time to evacuate. said Phyco to Dil and Ichy. As for me, I’ll try and take on Shredder. That should distract him long enough for you to take the eggs back. Then he cannot blackmail Tiny with them anymore. said Phyco to Strut.
Phyco, Shredder could well kill you. Are you sure about this? I could help you. said Rusty.
I don’t want you and your wife to be found out. You have kids. I don’t want to think what Shredder might do to them if he finds out you’re planning to betray him. Phyco said.
The next morning, a Swimmer, a Spiketail, and a Threehorn are playing in the Great Valley. “I wonder what Chomper isn’t back yet Dad?” the Spiketail asked Spike. Spike shook his head.
“Out of the way!” yells the Threehorn, who is aiming for a rock to ram it.
The Flyer moves out of the way. “Watch it Smasher!” snaps the Flyer.
“Sorry Flapper.” says the Threehorn.
“Come. Littlefoot want everybody.” said Petrie to his son.
“Come on Smasher.” says Cera to her son.
Tucompso watches them from the plateau. Well, today is the day. What should we do? Watch? Wait?
Lumoava replies I’m not sure what we can do. We’re not that big.
We could at least pinch the invaders skin with our jaws to do minor pain even though it won’t do enough damage to cause bleeding. joked Tucompso.
Meanwhile, Chomper wakes up. He is sore but alive. “Confound that traitor!” Chomper snarls. “Oh no, he’s heading to the Great Valley!” Chomper takes off toward the Great Valley. Along the way, he encounters Strut.
“But they said you were dead!” Strut gasps.
“Not yet.” Chomper replies.
Rhett arrives at the Great Valley. “Chomper sent me. He wanted me to evacuate Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Ruby, Ali, Pato, Emelia, and Littlefoot’s grandparents.” said Rhett.
“I’m afraid my grandparents have passed away.” said Littlefoot sadly.
“I’m sorry to hear that.” said Rhett. “Now come on, we have to go quickly. Sharptooth will be here soon.” Rhett implored. The group left. Shorty and Bron came with the others.
“If we encounter Sharptooth, I’d love to be the one to fight him.” said Bron.
Rhett said”I have a feeling you will get your chance, lets move quickly, who knows how close he is.”
“What’s he doing here Dad? I thought you and Mom didn’t like him.” said Pato.
“What ARE you doing here Rhett? Where is Chomper now?” asked Littlefoot.
“Oh, he had to leave, you know. Took a trip.” said Rhett.
“Well, I hope he gets here soon. I’m really worried about him.” said Ali.
Littlefoot asks “So where are you going to take us?”
Rhett smiles devilishly. “The stomach of Sharpteeth!” he laughs. He swings his tail, which hits some rocks, causing them to sail into rocks on the Great Wall, which causes those rocks to fall, blocking off the entrance to the Great Valley. Shredder and the pack arrive.
Meanwhile, Chomper runs toward the Great Valley, though the pack is about a mile ahead of him.
“Strut, I’m glad I found you. I hope you can get the eggs. I’ll deal with my uncle.” Chomper says.
Strut said “I thought Dil and Ichy where on their way to… never mind, these two can handle it, I’ll get the eggs. Your enemies aren’t even competent enough to make sure they did the job, how encouraging. Say, is anything broken?”
“Nope. Now I need to hurry. Littlefoot is in danger!” said Chomper, running off.
CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
Meanwhile, Littlefoot snapped at Rhett “Rhett, what is this?!”
“You stole my woman! Now I’m gonna bring you down!” snarled Rhett.
Tucompso asks Should we help him? After all if he dies the sharptooth pack will own the valley, and their leader hates our species. I mean, small guys like us.
Yes we should. said Lumoava.
Shredder comes toward the Leaf Eaters. “So long Flatteeth!”
“He can talk!” gasped the group.
“You, you killed my wife!” shouted Bron. He rushes out to fight Shredder.
Tucompso says I think I’ll go for him.
Tucompso leaps to a section of the Great Valley Wall below without any fall damage, he then leaps onto Shredder’s face and bites deep into his eye lid, giving Bron a opportunity to land a hit.
You stupid shorty sharptooth! Die! shouts Shredder. He whacks Tucompso. Luckily he doesn’t impale him with his claws but unluckily, Tucompso lands on the ground with a splat.
Lumoava comes to him. Get up dear. He stirs feebly. She helps moves him out of danger of being stepped on.
Bron and Shredder continue to fight fiercely. Bron slaps Shredder in the face many times with his tail and Shredder strikes Bron a few times with his claws. The other members of the pack move toward Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Ruby, Pato, and Emelia. Rhett, in the confusion, grabs Ali. “Now I’ve got you for myself.”
Ali shouts “Rhett, I would rather mate with a swimming sharptooth then you, Littlefoot or not, so get lost!”
Rhett sighs. “You’ve hurt my feelings Ali. Just imagine if that stupid Sharptooth hadn’t ruined everything. Then you’d be mine. I had great pleasure in killing that Two Claw vermin.” said Rhett.
Sharptooth strikes Bron, though luckily not fatally, and knocks him over. “So Lognneck Flathead!” he laughs. Before he can fatally hit Bron, Phyco attacks him. PHYCO! Shredder shouts angrily.
Dil and Ichy arrive at a different entrance to the Great Valley.
Dil says “Chomper is dead! Rhett is a traitor! They’re going to attack!”
Ichy adds “They could be here at any minute!”
Topps replies “I’ll go and rescue them.”
Meanwhile, Phyco shouts at Shredder The pack is better under new management Shredder, you kill more then we need to eat just for fun, you overwork the pack, you killed my friend, and kidnapped my other friends children. Now I’m going to rip your head off your shoulders and shove it up your tush, then ask how it looks smells and taste!
Shredder attacks Phyco, drawing blood. However, Phyco continues to attack. The pack stares at him in amazement.
Phyco grabs one of Shredders legs with his jaws and pulls, causing him to fall to the ground. He then puts a foot on Shredder’s neck. Surrender Shredder, it’s over. However, Phyco doesn’t realize he is still in range for a counter kick.
Shredder kicks Phyco and knocks him over. I’m going to show you! shouted Shredder.
Meanwhile, Rhett tries to take Ali hostage. However, Shorty challenges him. The two soon get into a fight.
A group of Flyers come to try to assist, however it doesn’t take long for one of them to end up in a sharptooth’s sharp mouth.
Topps comes charging at Shredder’s pack, hoping to rescue Cera. Tiny, Rusty, Zelda, and Marie step aside.
Phyco grabs onto one of Shredders arms with his jaws. Shredder kicks Phyco in the face, knocking him over. Phyco kicks Shredder in the stomach and then tail sweeps him right foot, then tries to get up. Shredder and Phyco continue to fight. Shredder injures Phyco pretty badly.
The rest of the pack is closing in on Littlefoot and his friends. Topps fights off the Sharpteeth, standing beside his daughter Cera.
Phyco figuring such injuries have never stopped him before tries to get back up, suddenly he sees visions of a time he was getting beat up by a pack of Fast Biters, receiving similar injuries in his youth. While most Two Claws would not have the strength to fight back he instead has a temporary burst of energy, in his vision of where there once was a Fast Biter he charges in for an attack, their his vision suddenly clears and he sees Shredder, he bites into his shoulder and mangles his flesh, Shredder however gives him a tail smack uppercut, knocking a tooth out and causing him to land next to Tiny. His body just quivers uncontrollably, weakened and losing control over his muscles due to injury.
Shredder jumps into the air, aiming at Littlefoot. Littlefoot, who is busy fighitng off three Two Claws at once, cannot turn to fight. Before Shredder can strike Littlefoot, however, Chomper plows into him, knocking him over. Shredder gets back up and stares at Chomper YOU! he shouts.
Phyco manages to turn his head to look at him. Cool, there is a after life. Hi chomper, have you found my parents?
I’m still alive Phyco. Uncle isn’t the only one that can fall many feet and not die. Chomper says.
Meanwhile in the distraction Strut has taken tiny’s eggs and hid them somewhere safe.
Mimus says to Sapphire “I wonder how we can help.”
Sapphire asks “You sure? They might eat us to death, and then who will protect the eggs? Most help we can be is as cheerleaders, or to throw rocks at the sharpteeth. Or perhaps tree sweets.”
“Tree Sweets and rocks will work. Anyway, we do need to help. If they get into here, they can get our eggs too.” said Mimus. “Better to fight to the death to protect our eggs while our allies are still alive then to wait until we have to do it single handedly. Besides, if a shorty sharptooth is brave enough to stand up to a whole pack of Two Claw, then we have no excuse. I’ll gather tree sweets, you gather rocks. Lets try to stay out of close quarters as much as possible.”
Chomper turns to Shredder. We finish this now. he says.
CHAPTER FORTY
Rhett and Shorty continue to fight.
“Buzz off, the Flathead is mine!” says Rhett.
Shorty laughs “She doesn’t even want you!”
Chomper and Shredder fight. In their fight, they break open the rocks blocking the path to the Great Valley and head inside. Sharptooth heads after Pato and Emelia. “Mmm, Longneck kiddies!” he laughs. Littlefoot’s children run up the Smoking Mountain, trying to get away from Shredder.
Chomper blocks Shredder’s way You will not be hurting any more children! he says.
The children soon find a dead end at the gurgling pit; they see the only way back is the way they came. One of them says “You know, maybe we should have expected this to be our dead end after choosing a smoking mountain to run to.”
Chomper says to Shredder I’m giving you one last chance Shredder. Go and don’t go come back.
No, I will have my revenge, even if I have to kill you to get it! snapped Shredder. He struck Chomper in the face, drawing blood. He aimed at Chomper again, but Chomper moved aside and struck Shredder in the leg with one of his foot claws.
A Flyer decides to get involved, flying in from up high and drops a rock aiming at Shredder. Shredder snarls and tries to attack the Flyer, swiping at him with his claws.
Mimus and Sapphire have assumed a position where Shredder would have to clear a jump with only 4% chance of not falling. They throw rocks and tree sweets at him, aiming for the eyes, nose, mouth, and for the fingers.
The Flyer returns and drops a large leaf full of tree sweets at Shredder, then gets a littler cocky and dive bombs his face. Shredder claws the Flyer, slicing him in half.
Several members of the pack move to attack the Great Valley residents. Strut comes to Tiny “I’ve got the eggs. He can’t blackmail you with them anymore.” said the Egg Stealer to Tiny, showing her her eggs.
Guys stop! Tiny shouts at the pack. Rusty, Marie, Zelda, and Phyco, who is hurt, but not fatally, echo her.
The pack stands there staring. They produce a sort of mumbling sound. On one hand, they still have a desire to support their pack leader merely out of habit, on another, these are some of the best warriors of the pack standing in their way, and that with the backup of the Great Valley, would lead to either a bloody victory, or assured defeat. On the other hand, they have grown tired of Shredder and question his cowardly act toward flattooth children. The only logical motivation they can come up with as they chatter and somewhat bicker among each other, is that they are still hungry. However they begin to ponder how much of their success so far was thanks to Chomper and his friends. They also remember that Shredder tried to kill him, his own nephew.
Rhett, meanwhile, knocks over Shorty. He returns to Ali. “I think that when Littlefoot and his little brats are dead, that you will come to love me.” he laughs. Shorty gets up and moves toward Rhett.
Ali said sarcastically “Right, murdering my family will magically make me love you. Hey take a look over here I got something for you.” She smacks Rhett in the face with her tail. As he moves toward Shorty, Shorty smacks him in the face with his tail causing him to return to Ali. Ali laughs “Awww you came back to me. Bye bye.” She smacks him in the face, whacking him between herself and Shorty like a volleyball.
Rhett moves aside as Shorty tries to whack him. He whacks Shorty in the face. “Nice try! Ali is mine!” Rhett snaps.
Ali tries to run away. Rhett chases after her. The two go up the Great Wall. Shorty chases after Rhett. Ali tries knocking over a tree to block Rhett’s path. Rhett brushes aside the tree and continues after her. Ali soon comes between a high vertical rock, a cliff on the left and right, and only one way back. “Aha, trapped now!” laughs Rhett.
Ali laughs “Yes, but that means so are you.” Shorty catches up to him, he is now caught between Ali and Shorty.
Rhett whacks Shorty in the face with his tail. He moves toward Ali. “You are mine toots!” he yells. Rhett thinks that he has beaten Shorty. Shorty gets up, but Rhett is so busy gloating that he doesn’t see it. Shorty whacks Rhett with his tail, whacking him in the legs. Rhett loses his balance and falls off the edge. It takes 43 seconds for him to hit the ground.
Sharptooth strikes Chomper above the nose, drawing blood. You will regret this! If you love these Flatteeth so much, you can mourn for them!
Tucompso checks Rhett out. Tucompso says That was a very mean thing of you to smack into the ground like that, the ground must be in a lot of pain right now. You hurt ground to much and you might cause a big nasty earthshake. Hello. Hello I’m talking to you. Whats wrong don’t speak sharptooth?
“Hey Chomper, still got the plant? Fighting fair is a guaranteed way to lose.” Tiny yells to Chomper.
Shredder begins to pummel Chomper, moving him toward the volcano crater. Once I’m done with you, I’ll take out your five pals and their Fast Runner friend too!
Chomper pushes back, knocking Shedder over then jumps over him to reverse who is closer to the volcano.
Sharptooth kicks Chomper again. Chomper punches him in the face. He has, unfortunately, lost track of his plant that he got from near the Mountains that Burn, as it was left behind in the Land of Mists when Tiny had assumed that he had died. However, he spots another one nearby. He moves toward it.
Meanwhile, a Two Claw cries out in pain. Dil has bitten him in the foot. Stupid Belly Dragger! the Two Claw whines. He tries to strike Dil,, but is distracted as Ichy flies by him, scratching at his nose. This does the trick, as it causes him to focus on Ichy, allowing Dil to move to safety.
Over here! Ichy shouts. The Two Claw snaps at him, but he moves out of the way. MIssed me! Now I’m over here! Ichy laughs. The Two Claw swipes his claws at Ichy, but the Sharp Beak moves out of the way. Nope, nice try, but you’ll have to do better than that. Ichy taunts.
One of the Two Claws tries to lift his feet but he’s stuck. He looks down to see he is sinking in rich thick mud.
Well this is an anti-climatic way to die. the Two Claw grumbles.
Listen everyone. Shredder is my uncle. I am the de facto heir to this pack. The very Flatteeth that Shredder wanted to kill and failed, I had the chance and could have done it, when a kid, but I let them go. This proves that I am stronger than Shredder. I twice had it in my power to do what he could not. And also, it was I who thwarted the attempts on the Flattooth herds that Shredder wanted to kill. I helped the Yellow Bellies get away. I helped the Longnecks and Flyers and Swimmers get away. I tried to help the Clubtails and Spiketails get away too. I did this because the Flatteeth of the Great Valley were kind to me, despite knowing what I was. Thus, I’ve decided to side with the Great Valley. said Chomper to the pack.
The sinking Two Claw says Well, it’s official, my stomach and you can’t be friends, but I have got to admit that’s kinda cool. Now, what should we do? We came all this way out here after all. Tiny and Rusty help move the sinking Two Claw out of the Sinking Sands. And now I owe you my life. Thanks.
Shredder leaps up over Chomper. He then tries to push Chomper into the gurgling pit. The pack is mine! It’s over for you traitor! he bellows.
Chomper pushes back against Shredder. No, you are not hurting my friends.
Shredder asked How can you be friends with them? They’re Flatteeth!
They are my friends. They were good to me and I was good to them. I don’t care if they are Flatteeth, they are still my friends. said Chomper.
Good to you? Like dropping a rock on your head and sending you down into a body of water? Shredder snarled.
We’ve been through a lot together. But what would you know about friendship? You’ve never had ANY friends. Chomper snapped at him.
Ok now that hurt. Shredder says. Shredder upper cuts chomper with his tail then kicks him and does a thrusted head shove to get him dangerously close to the lava. Starting to feel warm?
Chomper moves off the edge. “NO!” Littlefoot yells.
“You’re next Longneck!” Shredder laughs, turning to face Littlefoot.
Chomper hangs on, his claws out of sight of Shredder. He move himself up while Shredder has his back turned. He kicks Shredder over. Shredder gets up again and hits Chomper. Chomper bites him in the arm. Shredder slashes Chomper in the chest. Chomper hits Shredder in the nose with his left elbow. Shredder kicks Chomper toward the volcano pit. Shredder moves at Chomper to try and bite him in the head. Chomper grabs the plant that Phyco had mentioned and puts it in Shredder’s mouth. Shredder gets sick and delirious and walks forward and trips into the volcano crater like Gollum falling into the fires of Mount Doom. He dies with a fiery flash. Ok now, I beat him. Now stop attacking the Great Valley. Chomper calls to the pack.
CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
One of the pack members remarks “Eh, it wasn’t our idea anyway, let’s just go home.
A second says I second that. They begin to lay down and rest.
Tin gasps Wow, Phyco, how did that plant not kill you when you ate it? That was a horrendous thing to behold.
Phyco replies Not sure, but the parasites I had at the time did not survive it.
Chomper goes to a tree and binds the wounds that he got from Shredder. “I’ll live.” says Chomper to Ali, who is concerned about him. “So, Littlefoot, how many were lost in the battle?” Chomper asks Littlefoot.
Littlefoot replies “Eleven Flyers. Poor things, they should have been more careful. None of the Two Claws died, except for Shredder.”
Chomper says “Well, your mother’s death is finally avenged. And I do have a confession to tell you. I HAVE killed Leaf Eaters before. Before even the Clubtails. I killed some on the Mysterious Island. My parents had gotten their parents and I thought they would just die on their own. I was about to progress to worse than that though. I meant to kill you, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike before I recognized you. Had I not met you when I did, I would almost certainly have become a regular Sharptooth. Can you ever forgive me?”
Littlefoot said “Why wouldn’t I? You were only young, and with your parents, and surviving.”4
Chomper smiles. “Littlefoot, there is someone I want you to meet.” said Chomper. “Tiny, could you come here?” Chomper says to his mate. The blue Sharptooth comes to them. “This is my wife Tiny. I’d like her to live in the Great Valley with me. I’m sure that your grandparents will let her stay.”
“Actually, they passed away of old age. I’m one of the leaders now. Of course your wife can stay.” said Littlefoot.
Tiny said “Hi, my name is Tiny. I am a friendly sharptooth like my lover Chomper. I like domeheads and yellowbellies make me laugh.”
So Chomper, are you going to be the leader of our pack now? asked Marie.
Actually, I think Phyco should. My place is in the Great Valley. said Chomper.
Phyco says Chomper, I will miss you and Tiny very much, I cannot imagine life without you. He sheds a tear. But if your sure the two of you will be happier hear in the Great Valley, I’ll get over it…some cold time from now.
Chomper says You can come and visit often, just don’t eat anyone here. They wouldn’t like that. Also, we’ll come see you often too. said Chomper. The pack leaves, led by Phyco.
Several days later, Chomper calls to Littlefoot “Our eggs are hatching. Wanna come watch?”
Littlefoot says “I think we both know the answer to that. Lead the way.”
Chomper takes him to the eggs, which are starting to hatch. Tucompso figuring the hatchlings would only see him as their first meal watch from 420 yards away at 25 feet up in a tree. But don’t be fooled, to his eyesight they are just 5 feet in front of him. The eggs hatch. Out of them come a blue Sharptooth, a purple Sharptooth, a golden Sharptooth, and an orange Sharptooth. “Now how did they get so pretty?” Tiny says in a playful voice.
Phyco comes to the Great Valley with Marie, whom he is stnading next to, and Zelda and Rusty. Chomper, Marie agreed to be my mate. I’m so happy. I have a mate and get to be the leader of the pack. he said happily.
Tiny smiled. This should be some encouragement, I think I remember someone from the pack saying they doubt their will be a happy ending for them. Now who was that again?
Chomper asks Tiny “What should we name our kids? We have two boys and two girls.” One of the hatchlings bites Tiny in the tail. “Perhaps I should call that one Biter.” Chomper suggests.
Tiny replies “Will do, as long as we don’t name any Stinky or Runt.”
The orange Two Claw, Biter, tries to bite Tiny again. However, Chomper grabs him and moves him away. “No, Biter. Don’t bite Mommy’s tail!” Chomper scolds the boy. The blue Two Claw, a girl, snuggles against Tiny’s foot. “What about her?” Chomper asks.
“She is so Delight full.” Tiny says hintfully.
“Delight? That works.” said Chomper.
The red Two Claw and the Purple Two Claw chase after dragon flies. “What about them?” Chomper asks.
CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! The red one tries to bite a dragon fly. “I’d name that one Chomper, except the name is already taken. I gave that name to his father.” said Littlefoot.
“Good name for my mate. Still, doesn’t do him full justice for how wonderful he is, but I suppose you did the best you could.” said Tiny.
The purple child misses a dragon fly and bites the red one in the tail. The bitten ones slaps the biting one in the face. “Stop it you two!” Chomper scolds. Tucompso still watches from the tree some distance away gets bored. He decides to go for a walk.
The red unnamed Two Claw sneaks up behind Tucompso and tackles him. “Got it!” he laughs.
Get off of me! Tucompso whines.
It can talk! said the red Two Claw in shock.
Yes. And who are you supposed to be? asked Tucompso. The red Two Claw stares at him blankely.
He’s so cute. said Lumoava, looking at the baby Sharptooth.
Tucompso says Then I suppose we can call him Cutely, now make him let me go before he eats me.
Lumoava says He wouldn’t eat you. You and he are the same size.
Uh, I knew that. lies Tucompso. He then squirms loose and brushes himself off. Name’s Tucompso. Please don’t ever call me a it again. This is Lumoava. Don’t worry, she is as sweet as she looks. So, like to play do you? So long as you don’t bite me I will be glad to play any time I have time for it. But she comes first.
The purple Two Claw snuffs Tucompso. Ew, where has the Tucompso been? she gasps.
Tucompso asks Do I really smell so bad? The red Sharptooth spots a butterfly and chases after it. Tucompso gets a log into the lake and gets a long stick, touching the bottom with it then pushing forward to go out farther.
The red Sharptooth comes across Pato. “What is that thing? It has a long neck.” he said.
Pato said “I’m your new playmate.”
CHAPTER FORTY-TWO
Chomper said to Littlefoot “So do you think I was meant to be found by you so that I could help you later on? You took an awfully big risk in befriending me. I mean, I could have turned out just like my uncle. Why did you do it?”
Littlefoot replied “Because I felt like it.”
Chomper replies “Well, thank you. You changed my lfie for the better. And now my children and yours will be firiends forever. They will never be enemies.”
“Yes, I’m so glad that we’re friends.” said Littlefoot.
Sapphire and Mimus mean while stay snuggled together watching their nest, not a care in the world of anything not related to their little area. Chomper says to them “Ah, so you two have decided to live here to stay? Not to worry, I won’t be hurting you.”
Mimus says “Just go away… “Please.” Chomper shakes his head and starts to move away.
Sapphire says “My apologies if we seem a bit grouchy, we are still getting use to the idea of being with flatteeth and sharpteeth with no fear of either one. I hope we learn to adapt.”
Mimus asks”Why did you give us such a hard time when you first discovered us anyway?”
Sapphire says “Perhaps he has had a bad childhood memory of our kind or something, What’s it matter? If he is willing to be nice to us, lets just be thankful. Let’s just watch the eggs.”
Chomper says “Actually, I did, but it’s better now.” Strut comes up to them.
“Hello, I’m Strut. I eat green food. I have eaten eggs in the past, but decided to eat green, which I prefer anyway.” he said to them.
“Oh, another Egg Stealer.” said Mimus.
“I guess, though I don’t steal eggs anymore.” said Strut.
“Mom, what’s the Egg Stealer doing here?” asked Ovi.
“Ovi, he helped saved Chomper’s eggs, so we’re letting him live here.” said Ruby.
Mimus said”Me and my mate see it this way, eat eggs equals get brutally murdered. Though not eating the protein levels we are use to did at first cause tummy aches and a weak feeling at first, we got use to the diet change. So Strut, want to join our family? How are you with children? Me and Sapphire don’t socialize often, but a good way to start is to seek the opportunity of a third set of hands when our eggs hatch.” Their eggs start to hatch.
Mimus said “Oh no, the eggs are breaking!”
Sapphire said “Uh, dear, their suppose to do that. That’s the point. This is the fun part, any moment their true beauty will come out and behold the glory of the world!”
Mimus said “How will we know their gender?”
Sapphire said “Shhh, just watch.” She calls to them. “Come on little ones, mommy is hear. Push. Push. There you go.” The kids break free of the eggs.
Mimus said”Awww look at them! They’re so beautiful!”
Sapphire said “Of course they are, they get their beauty from you.”
Mimus said “No I’m pretty sure they get their beauty from you.”
Sapphire said”They get it from you.”
Minus said “No, from you.”
Sapphire said”Just make sure they don’t go too far. Try interacting with them, see what they smell like.”
“Actually, Egg Stealers are ugly.” said Emelia. Ali frowns at Emelia. “Oops, I mean, sorry.” said Emelia, feeling bad.
Mimus said “If you don’t like Egg Stealers then what are you doing here? We picked this spot because it was secluded from the rest of the Great Valley residents. You could have easily avoided the sight of us.”
Ali said “Don’t mind her. She heard some bad things about Egg Stealers and was shooting her mouth off. I’ve corrected her.”
Mimus said “Oh, ok.”
Ovi walks up and hugs the baby Egg Stealers “Look, green Fast Runners!” she says happily. The baby hugs back and makes sort of a chirping sound.
A few weeks later, The four Two Claw children come across the Fast Runner children and the Egg Stealer children. Splasher, Pato, Smasher, Emelia, Ovi, and a Spiketail child run around together with three Glider kids and two shorty shaprtooth kids. All of them sing “Come on, let’s go, let’s go, and run around, run around
What a beautiful feeling
We live in a peaceful valley
And everybody’s having a good time now.”And so the Sharpteeth, Flatteeth, Halfteeth, and Egg Stealers stayed friends to the end of their days.
The End.
Technically, that’s not the end. Since then, my role play partner and I decided to do a prequel, called A Sharptooth’s Revenge, where a Longneck murders Chomper’s mother and Chomper pursues him for revenge but the Longneck takes shelter in the Great Valley. (Yes, that means that the stuff of Chomper having his mother alive in Return of the Tyrantasurus would have to be altered.) We also came up with a sequel called “The Combined Pack”, where Littlefoot has a dream where his dead Grandpa tells him about his other grandparents. Eventually, he finds out that his other grandparents plan to attack the Great Valley with a large Combined Herd. In desperation, Littlefoot commissions Chomper to get a Combined Pack of Sharpteeth to fight them.
