Chapter 5, A fight, and a warning
Littlefoot ran towards the field where their children werre, apparently, a large pack of ten fast-biters were after their hatchlings, they did hear the terrified screams of the kids, but not the pained cries of the dying, which was good.
Suddenly, a vicious roar ringed out, Littlefoot stopped in his tracks, a large sharptooth to? But before thinking about this, they needed to rescue them. As they ran, Littlefoot saw a sharp-horn(Carnotaurus), and atleast ten fast-biters, the Sharp-horn seemed to be coordinating the attack, he just stood watching, growling and roaring.
Cera tore past him and slammed a fast-biter into a tree, shattering his bones. Suddenly, two others leaped onto her and started slashing and biting. Spike tried to help her, but three others were on top of him, and Littlefoot was fighting three, and Two others prevented Ducky and Ruby from getting to the kids.
It was a coordinated effort, not the normal desperate attack of other sharpteeth. The Sharphorn simply smirked at them, he had them pinned down. "Such a valiant effort, but in the end, ultimatley...futile." The Sharp-Horn growled.
Littlefoot and everyone else were shocked. How could this sharptooth know flatteeth, and how could he control the fast-biters? "Now that all of you have been neutralized, we have a snack to attend to." He replied.
A horrid cry was uttered from Ducky, she knew what he meant, their children were at the ground, curled up, terrified. Just as the Carnotaurus was about to kill them, a blue mass slammed into him, and he was thrown to the ground.
The raptors saw Chomper before their boss did, and they were going to stop him, they charged in a united attack. 3 lunged at him, Chomper swung his tail at them, sending them flying. Another tried his luck.
He wasn't as fortunate, Chomper caught him in his mouth and crushed the life out of him, befpre throwing him like a rag-doll. In a desperate attempt, 4 charged at him, each at his vital areas, heart, neck, and head. Chomper managed to kill one in his jaws, and claw one off, but two others struck home.
Chomper's eyes widened in pain, but then they narrowed to slits, he let his instinct take over, that was how he defeated Redclaw. With surprising speed, he used his claws, short as they were, to slash the raptor attacking his heart, the raptor he threw to the ground had come to, but Chomper simply crushed him with his feet.
The last two raptors were in a precarious situation, as deadly as they were, they often were no match for the much stronger sharpteeth, Sailbacks, Blade-backs, and sharp-horns. The last one treid to retreat, while the last tried to slit Chomper's throat, he wouldn't let that happen though.
In a surprise effort, Chomper swung his neck up with such force that it could have cracked it, the raptor was sent flying in the air, before hitting a rock, dead. Chomper panted, before he turned his attention to the Sharp-horn, who was circling him, with intense hatred. "Your a sharptooth! Why fight for your food? Thats all they are fit to be." The sharp-horn snarled.
"No! I have seen them first hand, their kind, they just have trust issues," Chomper replied, thinking of Cera. "Figures, the Emperor was definitely right in choosing you to die, your the last hope for your herbivore friends!" The sharp-horn growled.
Chomper blinked in surprise, their was another sharptooth out there, an "emperor" must be what they called themselves, last hope? Chomper started to ponder, but decided to focus on the battle at hand.
"What's going on?" Chomper growled. Chomper thought he saw a hint of fear on the sharp-horn's face, but it then turned back to arrogance. "Why should I tell you? You think being a sharptooth makes you worthy of the truth? Of a higher existence once your out of the way? Well you'll never know, atleast not before you die. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must report to my master about this mission, which was a sucess, your indeed his only threat, so good riddance." The sharp-horn said,a and ran off.
He suddenly heard cheers, he hadn't noticed it, but most of the Great Valley had witnessed the battle, and they had seen first hand his commitment to the valley, 10 dead sharpteeth proved it. His friends were checking on their kids, everyone was alright, no one had any serious injuries, although the wounds Chomper received would likely scar over.
"You were amazing Chomper." Littlefoot said to him. "Thanks, thats the only reason I survived, if you live in the wilderness since adolescence, you tend to learn a few things." Chomper replied. His mind shifted to his mate and hatchling at home. "Look, Littlefoot, I have a mate annd child to get to, so I can't stay." Chomper said.
"Well, you can come back any time you want." Littlefoot said. Chomper nodded and walked off.
"Chomper! Your hurt!" Tyranna cried when she saw his wounds. "Its nothing." Chomper replied. "Did they attack you? What happened?" She asked frantically. "No, there was a fast-biter attack, and I saved their butts, you'd be surprised how bad at fighting they were." Chomper said.
"Oh, I just thought they would kill you, I'm just glad your okay though." Tyranna replied. Chomper nuzzled his mate, "it's nothing serious, I'll be ok." He reassured her. Rex was sleeping very peacefully in the corner, Chomper smiled as he layed down next to his son, shielding him from the elements.
But he couldn't shake that foreboding feeling, was what the sharp-horn said true? Who was the 'emperor' he was talking about, and what was with that coordinated attack? Uneasily. he fell into a resltess sleep.
The Sharp-Horn, or Razor stalked towards Black Rock, two albino Spinosaurus guards stood there. "Are you a member of Darkclaw's army?" One growled. "Yes, I am senior Officer of Darkclaw's officer division." Razor growled back.
"Very well, officer Razor, you are granted access." The other spinosaurus growled. Razor smirked to himself, that mission was a success, they had succesfully tested the weakness in the enemy, and they were quite weak.
Razor prided himself in his ancestor's bloodline, he was a 3rd generation pure bred member of this army, and he prided himself in this status. His exceptional skills and coordination landed him a position as Darkclaw's primary strategist, and a member of his inner circle.
As he stalked through their base, he saw sharpteeth of every age, species, shape, color, and size. Hatchlings and adults, male an female, fast-biter and sharptooth, all training, in the preparation for war.
For over fifty years, this army was advancing unchecked, they now numbered in thousands, the flatteeth would fight to defend, but the sharpteeth would fight to kill. As he stalked through the cave, many younger sharpteeth saluted him or greeted him.
By the time he finally reached his master's cave, Darkclaw was torturing a duck-bill, his screams were muffled as Darkclaw bit and slashed him, only after deciding his prey had suffered enough, Darkclaw ended his life by crushing his neck with his foot, causing a sickening crack.
"Your here, Officer." Darkclaw sensed him before he even turned around. Razor tried to ask how he senesed his presence, their was no wind, so he couldn't smell him, did he hear him. But he stopped himself, Darkclaw was not forgiving of pointless questions, he wouldn't hesitate to kill those who annoyed him.
"The mission was a success, they are weak, and we can attack through their pass, which a three-horn left unguarded." Razor reported. "They are weak, and they don't fight to kill, they simply try to defend, that will be their undoing." He continued, Darkclaw listening patiently.
"And Chomper is indeed a threat, he killed my fast-biters." This got Darkclaw's attention.
"So he is powerful, this requires careful planning and consideration." Darkclaw plotted. "When shall we attack him?" Razor asked. "Not yet, we must kill him with the elements, drown him, or crush him in a rock slide, but not with sharpteeth, someone could see him." Darkclaw said.
"And we'll use his brat as bait." Darkclaw smirked. "When shall we execute your plan?" Razor asked. "In a few months, we must accelerate our preparations for war." Darkclaw said. "This time no one will stop me!" With that, he broke into a wicked laugh.
