------
In a time long forgotten by history. There exists a species that was a lost legend in the time of the dinosaurs. In their time they were known as… The Yellowbellies.
"This way y'all!" :PCera Shouted a big bouncy purple Yellowbelly with feathers that are much longer than most of his herd. He leads it with pure optimism with no fear or worry. They call him Boogie. The yellowbellies behind him follow him excitedly. Unlike the other herds, they aren't searching for Berry Valley, but a valley that might just give them more. A Great Valley.

“Exile”
Smoke bellowed from the fire mountains. The clouds of ash enveloped the steep base of grey rock. Further towards the top an opening with great arches in the shape of teeth loomed. A porthole of yellow appeared. Ascending the arid rock was Tyrannosaur of marred complexion. His grey skin scarred with red stripes from eye to forked claw. He made his way to the portal, each step shook the rocky basin. Entering the light he came to a sight. In the center of the ashen room was a pit of bubbling magma, the yellows and oranges churning as skeltons of Sharpteeth sunk into its shoals. Standing around the pool, where six Sharpteeth, one had a crocodile snout, and massive fore claws. Another was a similiar shape to Redclaw, only instead the grey skin was a deep jade, making its red eyes more apparent. Then most stark of all was a sharptooth with narrow snout, wide face, and two great horns over its eyes; he sat upon a rock throne, his red and black scales sparkling in the magma light.
Carnie the Carnotaurus: This Assembly will come to order.
The Sharpteeth took positions in a circle around the magna pool.
Carnie: We have been summoned here at Tooth Mountain to pass judgement on the accused. Redclaw step forward.
The steps of Grey Sharptooth were heavy and uneasy. He held his head low.
Carnie: You stand accused of two counts of sharpdition, and one count of fossil failure. Do you understand the charges?
Redclaw: I do Sharplord.
Carnie: You were trusted to guard the Great Pass to the Great Valley. You repeatedly failed to keep your charge, and worse you allowed some children to outwit you and defeat you with fruit! Such a shameful defeat has caste a shadow on the Clan! Restoring the natual order will take time. But the damage you have done to the Clan and the reputation of all sharpteeth is unforgivable. In order to restore our image, one must be sacrificed. You are to be expelled from the Clan, never to return. You’re rank is forfeit and you shall lose all the privileges and protections of other Sharpteeth.
Redclaw felt his damaged red eye water, his head almost prostrate on the rocky floor.
Carnie: So that all may recognize you as an outcast, you shall be marked.
Two of Sharpeeth with black sails and crocodile snouts took hold of Redclaw and led him to a rock above the magma. The Grey Tyrannosaur was then pushed upon it as it bobbed in the molten waters. It sank and the magna lapped and began to burn Redclaw’s belly. He let out a roar, as the rest watched his underbelly be submerged in magma for short periods of time. When the searing was complete, Redclaw’s whole belly was a red hue, matching his scars from his eye to his claw.
Carnie: You are hence forth banished. Now may all members of the Clan preform the Sharpshun!
Each of the Sharpteeth turned their backs, and Redclaw now was on his own. The Grey Sharptooth shed three tears that upon hitting the black rock sizzled and evaporated. He with head laid low left the Council and proceeded down the ashen path he had come. Meanwhile the Council did not disperse.
Carnie: We shall now appoint a new Guardian of the Great pass. Who shall we nominate?!
Unanimously the shouts called for one name: Croc! Croc ! Croc!
The Brown and Tan Baryonyx stepped forward.
Carnie: A New Redclaw you shall be!
A bowl of magma was brough by a Troodon and steeping a bone claw in the fire, he motioned for Croc to approach. Carnie burned several red stipes on his crocodile sbout and head.
Carnie: Now go! Take a contigent to the Great Pass and restore fear! Make all tremble before our kind again! RAWR!

Far away, in the Great Valley, it was a perfectly relaxing day to be in the mud pools.
Cera would have been more relaxed, however, if someone else hadn't discovered the place. "What happened to the secret mud pools being secret?" she grumbled under her breath, glaring towards Wild Arms, who was lounging on the other side of the pool.
Sighing in relaxation and closing his eyes, Wild Arms was oblivious to the young threehorn's mood, however.
After Bron had brought him and the rest of the herd into the valley for a visit with his son, the rest of his herd had offered--practically begged, in fact--for Wild Arms to stay in the valley when it was time for them to go. Of course, Wild Arms had jumped at the opportunity. If he'd known about the Great Valley before, he would've gone to stay there ages ago! There were (almost) no sharpteeth, and plenty of food was available for everyone. It was obviously the most sensible place to live!
As Wild Arms leaned back in the warm mud, he thought to himself that there wasn't a more peaceful place in the world than this.

“New Life”
(https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/92707971_128499305431901_7803038004313849856_o.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_sid=110474&efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&_nc_ohc=chc2nOylN4MAX_KirRb&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.xx&_nc_tp=14&oh=f58ae16a10402db2e0ab6d7ac3dd6500&oe=5EB837A8)
Redclaw stumbled as he traversed a narrow canyon. His red eye moist with tears and his face downcast. The canyon rock had streams of emerald, a mixture of highly dangerious acid. Redclaw came to minor cliff and stood above the fuming stream. He then grabbed a lone tree branch with his bannana shape teeth and dropped it in the waters. The wood smoked and beagn to dissolve in acid. Redclaw then with a expression of utter loathing began to step closer to the esge when his tail was hit by something. The Grey Sharptooth turned to see a bizzare looking pair pf creature, they were bipedal and resembled Gallimimus but had feathers on their head and elbows. Their colors were vibrant yellows, blies, and pinks. The strargamimuses made a loud noise with their rounded noses, and emerging from the path they had come was Sharptooth. The three colorful creatures panicked as they now stood between two Tyrannosaurus.
Oopah: O no! We’re done for!
Loopah: I knew there were no berries this way!
Foofah: What are we gonna do?!
The prusing Sharptooth was a Tan color with bright yellow eyes. He snared at his prey and then made eye contact with Redclaw. Letting out a roar he began speaking in tongues of Shsrpteeth.
Jaws: This is my prey. Back off.
Redclaw snorted.
Jaws: I see you bear the mark of shame.. coward..
Loopah: What are they saying?
Oopah: Who cares!
Foofah: we are gonna be their dinner! Ohh!
Jaws: Leave outcast and I won’t have to add new scars to your already pathetic face.
Redclaw turned around, while yellowbellies began to scream.
Oopah: We are gonna be that Sharptooth’s berries!
Loopah: Gone so young!
Foofah: Help!
The Tan Tyrannosaur made his way to Yellowbellies who dug their heads into the rocky ground, their bodies shaking. Redclaw turned to see the helpless trio in the corner of his eye. Just as Jaws opened his mouth wide to take a bite, He was hit by a long grey tail, sending him to the ground. Redclaw then sunk hus teeth in the head of Jaws. The two Tyrannosaurs wrestled on the ground. Jaws Struck Redclaw in the neck with his forked claws, but Redclaw using hus superior weight came down on the Tan Tyrannosaur. Oopia raised her head and saw the two Tyrannosaurs fighting.
Oopah: Guys! Guys! Lookl!
Loopah and Foofah removed their heads from the ground.
Redclaw took hold of Jaws neck as they rose from their tumble. Jaws taking advantage of Redclaw damaged eye thrusted hos two claws into his cheek. Redclaw loosed his grip and now Jaws took a hold with his jaws, causing Redclaw to whinoer.
Oopah: We have to help him!
Foofah: Why? He’ll just eat us.
Loopah: We should go, while we can!
Oopah: No! He needs our help.
The Yellowbelly ran towards a medium size rock and sought to place it underneath the pivoting foot of Jaws. Oopah tried to move it but couldn’t.
Oopah: Get over here! Both of you!
Foofah and Loopah came running. Now with the power of three they moved the stone beneath Jaw’s foot, who upon pivoting down slipped, losing his grip and slidding to edge of acid stream. Redclaw stood looking at Yellowbellies with his good eye, nodded and then rushed as Jaws rose to his feet. With full force, Redclaw headbutted the Tan Tyrannosaur who flew off the cliff into emerald steaming waters. Jaws let out a horrible ear piercing shriek, as his body sank beneath the the acid. The Yellowbellies began to make strange calls and shake their bodies as in a dance of triumph. Redclaw snorted and began walking the path he came when he felt pressure on his three forked foot. He looked down and saw the Yellowbellies hugging his toes. Redclaw looked in amazement.
Oopah: Thank you! Thank you!
Foofah: O great one!
Loopah: Your toes are so big!
Redclaw titled his head in confusion.
Oopah: You must come with us! So we can reward you!
Foofah: Reward him!
Loopah: Mhmm.. berries.
Redclaw understood a measure of their words, but couldn’t make out the whole gist. The Yellowbellies began tugging on his toes and motioned to follow them. Redclaw gave puzzled look but obliged their entreaties, he began to follow the three yellowbellies to whatever lie beyond the canyon. It couldn’t be worse than Sharp Mountain.

Boogie's herd finally reached Saurus rock, so they were close. "Okay I think almost there. Let's check our numbers to see if we're still together now." Boogie claps twice and all the yellowbellies in his herd gather about. "Okay... Oop I think we are missing a few." Boogie quickly notices that three were missing.
"We are?" Asked one.
"Oopah, Loopah, and Foofah, looks like... No worries." Boogie smiles retaining his cheerful tone. "I'll go look for them for a bit. Stay bushy till I am back!" :PCera He said with a bounce. The group followed and they all bury their heads under.
Suddenly Wild Arms and Cera was attacked by a Sharptooth!! "RAAAR!" Chomper cannonballs into the mud! Mud is sprayed everywhere! "Hi Cera! Hi Wild Arms!" :chompysmile He said before laughing a little.
-
Wild Arms' eyes snapped open, and the first thing he noticed in front of him was Chomper's mouth full of teeth. Sharp teeth.
"YAAAUGH!" Wild Arms shrieked. "Help! HELP! Sharptooth!" he cried, waving his arms around in panic as he tried to scramble out of the mud in a hurry. All he ended up doing, however, was splattering mud and some of his feathers around the area, and he was forced to give up and sink back into the mud with a squelch. "Hurry, somebody help!" he wailed like a frightened hatchling. "Grandpa Longneck! Mrs. Swimmer! Mr. Threehorn! Well...maybe not Mr. Threehorn," he quickly decided, cringing. "But somebody's gotta do something! Hey--quick, threehorn kid! Get him with your horn!"
"Grrrr..." Cera stood up, looking madder than a hornet as she wiped splattered mud from her face. "I'm going to get something with my horn!" She began trudging across the mud, moving straight towards Wild Arms with a furious frown.
"Oh, phew...thank goodness!" Wild Arms smiled in relief, oblivious to what she meant. "That way," he calmly directed her, pointing towards Chomper. "He's that way."
Thankfully, before this could escalate any further, Guido came down from the sky, shakily landing right on top of Cera.
"Look, a perfect landing!" he cheered as he managed to get a steady footing. But that was when Cera began turning around. "Whoa...whoa!" Thrown off balance, the glider fell into the mud with a splat. "Scratch that," he mumbled, spitting mud out of his mouth. "Hey...you know, it's pretty warm in here! This stuff actually feels good! Folks should come here to relax or something!"
"What an idea that would be," Cera sighed, rolling her eyes.
"So what are you guys up to, a-anyway?" Guido asked nervously, sensing Cera's irritation.
"Trying to escape the clutches of this vicious beast!" Wild Arms blurted, pointing to Chomper.
"Aw, c'mon, Willy, we've talked about this before. Chomper's fine," Guido said. "He, uh, just happens to have sharp teeth, a-and red eyes, and...and..."
"Are you trying to make things worse?" Wild Arms said with a shudder.
"Hey--hey, look, there was a reason I came down here to talk to you guys," interrupted Guido. "What was it...oh, yeah! While I was up there, it looked like this herd of dinosaurs was headed towards the valley! I don't know what they were, but there were a bunch of 'em, out by Saurus Rock..."
"Great," said Cera sarcastically. "I needed some more company." Then an idea hit her. "Hey...Chomper, why don't you and Wild Arms go see what's going on?" she said. The way she said it sounded like more of an order than a suggestion.

“A New Family”
Oopah, Foofah, and Loopah lead Redclaw through the pass. They came to an open clearing, and then before them was citdel of rock, with a tower. Redclaw eyed a set of teeth chiseled into the rock. He remebered the place, Saurus Rock. The Grey Tyrannosaur watched as the trio ran towards other Yellowbellies making the peculiar sounds he heard before. There was one Yellowbelly who greeted them and seemed to illicit fealty and respect. Redclaw felt uneasy around these strange creatures, who now croweded around him and began making high pitched sounds of glee. The Grey Tryannosaur was now surrounded, like a grey rock eith flowers of yellow, blue, pink, and green. He was now in a world unkown to him. For one, each of these Yellowbellies hugged hus feet and snuggled againat his leg; an odd sensation. He had only known pokes, tares, and bites before. This means of expression was alien and in reaction he let oit a roar! The petals of yellow, red, blue, pink, and more scattered, but one approached without hesitation.
Who was this bold one? Redclaw thought.

Chomper couldn't help but sigh and shake his head at Wild Arms as he panics he has seen this all before, he is kind of used to it. Guido's arrival however perked Chomper's spirits! He tries to refrain from laughing when he fell into the mud. Though he gives an unamused look when Guido started to go into how scary he looked. Though a new herd entering the valley. That's interesting! "Okay!" He nodded at Cera happily. "Maybe we can get to know each other?" He said to Wild Arms with a smile, hoping for them to get along.
"Nevermind! Look!" Boogie pointed and shouted at the sight of the lost trio approaching them with Red Claw. Boogie felt no fear with his herd. He was happy to see the trio safe with their new "friend". He didn't even object when they started to cuddle and snuggle him. With the roar, he approached with his smile unwavered. "Sorry, my folk likes to cuddle as a sign of affection." He said casually with a happy laugh, as if he thinks Red Claw could understand him. "He's a new friend?" He asked Oofah.
-
Reclaw peered at these strange creatures who kept hugging hus toes. Affection to him was as alien as success. He lowered his head towards the one called Boogie, and trying to communicate his desire to leave, he was interrupted by Oopah who with Loopah put a giant garland of flowers on Redclaw’s head.
Oopah: Yes Boogie! He saved our lives from mean sharptooth.
Loopah: Hurray for our protector!
Loopah began leading a crowd of Yellowbellies to sing in some kind of noise with their noses. Redclaw raised his crusty eyebrow. What had he gotten into?
-
Guido, Chomper, and Wild Arms stood on the Looking Rock and gazed out at the mysterious herd that was coming closer to the valley.
"What do you think they are?" Guido asked, scratching his head in curiosity.
"Uh, I dunno," said Wild Arms, who was more occupied with trying not to get too close to Chomper while trying to keep a safe distance from the edge of the rock at the same time.
"Um, uh, Chomper, have you ever seen anything like them before?" stammered Guido.
-
Boogie nods at Red Claw as the yellowbellies sang. "For saving our own... We welcome you to our herd. We grant you the title of Redbelly! Protector of Yellowbellies of all!" He cried out with some of the yellowbellies cheering as the singing went on. Boogie then hugged the intimidating Sharptooth directly on the snout! :PCera
"Hmm... They remind me of fast runners like Ruby, maybe you Wild Arms, but they are more... Big." Chomper said as he looked on in bewilderment. He is currently unable to see RedClaw behind Saurus Rock. This could be considered fortunate for RedClaw.
Hyp see's Cera in the mud pool from behind some grasses and grins mischievously. "Flying rock splash!" He shouts as he cannonballs right in to splash Cera!

Meanwhile... At Sharp Mountain..
(https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/93515138_129950558620109_7622140467206946816_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&_nc_sid=110474&efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&_nc_ohc=jVp17TxnLGMAX9bpYsY&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.xx&_nc_tp=14&oh=638958f4d0ef01183b2bbe7a36707440&oe=5EBF3DE6)
RedCroc let out a to roar as magma spewed forth from center pool of the throneroom, and smoke bellowed like grey puffs of skulls. Carnie the Sharplord had left the chamber with his guards, now only Redctoc and his retinue remained.
Redcroc: Now that I am the new Redclaw, I order that we find the predecessor and make him dinner! Banishment is not enough! His failure has brough dishonor to our clan!
The two Spino Bros roared in agreement.
Redcroc: Let us return to the Great Pass and feed on Redflaw’s bones! Muwahahaha!
Redcroc and His Twin Spinosaurs cackled and then exited the grumbling mountain. Following these titans was two silver skinned Tyrannosaurs and two dozen Fast Biters with their orange scales and blade shaped brown stripes. Redcroc lead his croctingent into the Mysterious Beyond. Their mouths watering for Redclaw’s flesh!
-
Meanwhile, back at the mud pools, Cera had reached the end of her rope!
"THAT'S IT!" the threehorn hollered, shaking the mud off herself. "Every day I try to relax, some bozo just has to come out here and ruin everything!" Furious, she charged straight towards Hyp.
-
Hyp hops out of the way grinning as he splashes again. "You like getting muddy? If you just told me, I would have dumped mud on you guys more often." He laughed as he splashed about.
Thud reveals himself from a rocky passage in front of Croc and his Sharptooth squad. "So you'll be hunting my ol' leader… I want to show that I am nothing like the fool he was. May I join your honor?" Thud growled as he kneeled before Croc… He wants to prove himself so that he can keep his title being one of the two most dangerous fast biters known to Sharpteeth kind. Screech isn't with him as he is currently trying to his own way to make things good with higher rank sharpteeth, but Thud won't wait, even if it means he has to beg.
-
Cera circled back around to glare at Hyp. "I'm going to get you for this!" she threatened, running at the bully.
At the same time, Wild Arms had just made the mistake of looking down from the Looking Rock, and as he realized the ground was so far away that the clouds obscured it, he began feeling quite dizzy.
"Yikes!" he yelled, so startled that he grabbed onto Chomper to steady himself, not thinking. "Oh, man...you know, I'm thinking it'd be a sensible idea to get down from here, huh??"
-
Redcroc stood on a jaggid cliff edge as he watched his croctingent march forward. When a jade raptor approached and did kneel before him. Redcroc listened to the appeal of this Fast Biter who had been loyal to Redclaw but now sought to escape the shadow of his failure. This moved Redcroc.
Redcroc: Noble Thud.. your ambition to rise from the ashes of your former master’s fiasco moves me. I have a role only you can fill. When it is time you will regain your honor. To place you on the path of redemption, I give you command of the Fast Biter Retinue. Command them and prove yourself worthy!
Redcroc let out a gleeful roar.
———————————————
Back near the Great Valley...
Redclaw was now arrayed in vines from neck to tail with flowers. A great fire was burning in the camp and the Yellowbellies danced around it with lovked hands. Redclaw sat watching this bizarre spectacle when he heard a great gurgling drum coming from his belly. He was famished, with several coconut bowls before him of berries, he sniffed and took in the scent. It wasn’t unpleasent like greenies, but sweet. Redclaw took hus pitchfork claw and poked a cluster of berries and raised it to his mouth. He took a bite, that is swallowed it whole and felt the berries madh into a pleasent and soothing juice of blueberry and rasberry. He then proceeded to eat the bowl full of berries, when Oopah artived with more bowls of berries. Redckaw’s white grey chin was stained with blues and purples. Oopah giggled.
Oopah: You like em! I knew you would.
Redclaw with the little Leaf Eater he knew responded.
Redclaw: Not Bad. Better than leaves. I mean if I knew what leaves tasted like.
Oopah saw the red belly of Redclaw that seemed to glow as the Bright Circle dimmed.
Oopah: You have a red belly!
Redclaw looked at his belly and lowered his head in shame.
Oopah: I have a yellow one, see?
Redclaw peeked with his good eye and saw.
Oopah: I know! We’ll call you Redbelly!
Just then Foofah and Loopah energed, and stood on either side of Oopah.
Foofah: It’s time for the hero dsncr!
Loopah: Dance! Dance! Dance!
Oopah: Come on Redbelly! Let’s dance!
Before Redclaw could object, the herd of Yellowbellies housted him up and made him join their circle dance. Redclaw, I mean Redbelly at first worried about stepping on someone, but in time he surrendered to the beatl, and began shaking his tail, which yellowbellies began doing a limbo game under as they danced.
@Goldenwind
-
Thank you honor." Thud grins, his chance has come. "I will not disappoint." He turns to the fast biters. "Show me how fast and cruel you all can truly be."
Boogie was happy to see Redbelly enjoy himself with the rest of the herd. He joins with the limbo before dancing beside him. "Welcome to the yellowbelly family." He said with a doopey Yellowbelly smile.
Hyp runs from Cera around the mud pool treating it like a game of tag. "You can't catch me yah big baby!" He taunts to have Cera chase him more.
Chomper was caught offguard and quickly lost balance! "Wild Arms! Hey! Ahh!!" Chomper fell back knocking into Wild Arms and began to slide down! He was starting to understand why Looking Rock was only used in emergencies!
-
"Wanna bet??" Cera challenged, herding Hyp towards the opening of the Secret Caverns.
Guido gasped as his friend slid past him. Without thinking, he took hold of Chomper's arm to try and stop him, but he soon realized that the weight of the little sharptooth was too much for him to support, and he began sliding down the slope himself. "Willy--help!" shouted Guido.
Wild Arms quickly grabbed Guido's hand. "Gotcha!" he shouted. It wasn't that hard for him to pull the others back to safety, since he was by far the largest of the group.
Guido flopped across the rock in relief, breathing heavily. "Phew...thank you..."
"Uh, you're welcome," Wild Arms said, feeling kind of strange. Had he just done something heroic, for real? And he'd saved a sharptooth, even! This was a bizarre turn of events, alright...
Still, as he looked down at the recovering Guido and Chomper, Wild Arms thought that being the one to make a rescue instead of being on the other end of it for once felt pretty good!
-
Redcroc watched as Thud took control of his platoon. This Fast Biter has promise he thought. Redcroc took his place between the Spino Bros and marched under the dimming red Bright Circle.
—————
Redbelly danced his heart out. All those pent up emotions he felt as a member of Sharptooth Clan came out as be boogied. He heard Boogie’s welcome to the family. At last he had for first time met a group that accepted him without merits and preformance. A tear filled his red scared eye.
-
(Aww... I feel so happy for Redbelly. :Mo)
Boogie dance alongside Redbelly, seeing himself, happy to see him let himself go! He let's out some sick moves as he dances without a worry. To him Redbelly was the best sharp- no, redbelly, a yellowbelly could ask for.
Hyp continues running from Cera and into the cave chuckling as he tries to hide. He knows the Secret Caverns almost as well as Chomper and Ruby… Or so he thought. As he runs around being chased by Cera, a faint noise could be heard... Cheerful sounds with some big stomping noises... "Huh?" Hyp came to a complete stop.
"Thanks Willy…" Chomper hugs Wild Arms. Even though he, unintentionally, was the reason why he lost balance. "Is it alright if I suggest we leave the looking out for the flyers?" Chomper nervously said. This was the second time he almost slid down the Looking Rock. No plans for there to ever be a third time.
-
Cera finally had the chance to catch up to Hyp, running at him with her horn pointed forward. "Don't think you're going to throw me off with something lame like..." As more strange sounds came through the cavern, she suddenly paused. "...Weird noises?" As the hullabaloo continued to echo past them, she frowned. "What is that?"
Wild Arms gulped as he thought of the drop below him again. "You might be a sharptooth," he replied to Chomper, "but man, that's one sensible idea!"
"Heh...yeah, sorry I-I took you up here in the first place," Guido stammered as they began heading down. "Now that I've been flying a while, sometimes I kinda forget that not everybody's got wings..."
-
Redcroc’s Retinue came to an arid climate. The sand beneath his toes blew in a duar storm. The Spino Bros used their crusted sailsclike a shield to keep the sand out of Redcroc’s eyes, when he spyed a small Hadrosaur family crossing the desert plain. Two adults, in ivy green and their baby, a blue spunky hatchling running to and fro between them. Redroc roared for the croctingent to stop.
Redcroc called Thud to himself.
Redcroc: For your first test of loyalty, I order you and your fast biter pack to bring those Hadrosaurs down.
———————
Redbelly danced the night away, the fire roared ad he boogied and drank coconut milk. He had never felt so free, and happy. The earth moved beneath his feet and then suddenly he became dizzy and fell knocking Oopah, Foofah, and Loopah which proceeded like dominos to knock most of the yellowbellies down. When Redbelly looked up he expected to see angry friends, but instead giggling feeler the air like a symphony. Suddenly Redbelly began to belly laugh, and some yellowbellies came to his belly to feel it rumble. Redbelly felt tickled and then it broke into a tickle war!!! :lol
-
Thud smiles for an easy challenge. He calls for each half of his squad to block off the dinos from all sides. He then readied for a sneak attack… Only to find himself hesitant. Why? He has chased herds and different families before, but he has never actually successfully hunted an hatchling. Is it because that darn little Sharptooth gave him these feelings of sympathy? :thudstonk He respects him, but curses it. Those feelings don't belong with a hunter. He then sweats in a panic. His redemption will end all too soon into an embarrassing failure. Suddenly something fortunate for Thud appeared. He immediately calls off the attack to the confusion of his fast biters and reports back to Red Claw. "Sorry for going aganist orders milord, but I feel like I need a true challenge to feel satisfied with myself… Those two tough longnecks appear to be more than enough for me." He pointed at the huge longnecks trying to pass through the desert, hoping Redcroc will understand.
"Tickle fight!!" :PCera Boogie quickly joined in and jumped right onto Redbelly, starting to tickle him. "Whose a good Redbelly?" He said in a teasing fashion as he tickles the big sharptooth, laughing along with him. He nuzzles Redbelly's… big belly. XD There was so much tickling that even Tickles showed up… Who was confused by the scene.
"I have no clue…" Hyp is a bit intimidated by it, but he doesn't want to look like a coward in front of Cera. "I am gonna check it out." He said with a nervous smirk. He shivers at the sudden sound of laughter. It sounded evil. :rhett_ohno
"It's alright Guido. I've been here before so I should have known better." Chomper said as he began his descent nervously.
-
Redcroc eyed Thud as he explained his reasoning for disobeying orders. Would he be able to serve Croc’s purposes when the time came? “Very well, but next time do not contravent my orders again.” Redcroc then turned to the Spino Bros. “Kill the Handrosaurs, we need the meat.” The two charocal Spinosaurs rushed towards the Handros who with Longnecks nearby and the pack of Fastbiters backing off thought they were safe. “You actually succedded Thud,” said Redcroc, “They are tired from your sortie and befuddled.” The little blue hatching shrieked as the Spinos closed in.
————————
Redbelly began rolling on his back laughing as Boogie tickled him senseless. The entire company was in ticktacular uproar. The air filled with giggles and the sound of yellowbelly horns blowing. It was chaos, pure chaos. :lol
-
Guido shook his head, looking puzzled. "You know, I think I just saw Cera chase Hyp into the Secret Caverns a second ago. Wonder what's going on?"
"Probably the same thing that's always going on with Hyp," Wild Arms muttered. "I haven't seen him much, but he's trouble, isn't he?"
Guido nodded. "Yeah, he never was easy on..." He looked at his feathers. "...whatever these are." He turned towards Chomper. "Think we should see if she needs help?" Then Guido remembered how much stronger Hyp was than him, Chomper, or Wild Arms, and he sheepishly added, "Uh...you know, in the form of moral support."
--------------------
"Well, I'm checking this out first!" Cera declared, hurrying ahead of Hyp, towards the noise. Whatever all the hubbub was, it got louder as she went further into the cavern. Then Cera noticed some light coming through an opening in the rocky wall, so she stood on her hind legs to reach it, hoping to catch a glimpse of what was making that racket.
But when she brought her eye to the hole, she couldn't believe what she saw.
Dumbfounded, Cera gasped and stumbled backwards. What in the name of tree stars had she just witnessed? Was she losing her mind? Had there been something funny in those berries she'd eaten that morning?
-
Thud sighs, he then orders his squad to take down the longnecks to add even more confusion to top of that. Fortunately they were extremely obedient, which Thud counted on. When he hears the screams as he goes after the two longnecks, Thud couldn't help but feel bad for the small dino…He didn't understand why though, as if there was a mental barrier that was preventing him from understanding his feelings. The hunt wasn't difficult at all with the well planned cooperation of the fast biters, but Thud couldn't help but feel like he is starting to stray away from himself. For the poor Handros, Thud had a plan in place for his safety. If all went well, the spinos would have noticed him gone as soon as the hunt was over.
Hyp looked at Cera's reaction concerned. "Cera? You're alright?" He nervously checked through the same opening and…His big mouth dropped (His reaction is my avatar, lol.) He said those silly fuzzies that were all over Wild Arms and Guido were nothing more than for tickling as a way to tease them… But this is insane! "What is up with those guys?! They actually took down Red Claw with tickles! Red Claw!!" :opetrie Hyp shouts freaking out.
"Hmm?" :PCera Boogie notices some sounds coming from nearby and stops his tickling spree.
Chomper rolls his eyes, Hyp must of been up to old pranks again. He recalled how he chased him and Guido with one of his feathers claiming it wasn't for flying but for tickling… Though it might hold some weight as tickling a sharptooth from inside the mouth was what saved Guido. Hyp should have thought twice before pranking Cera though. "I think Hyp is the one who needs help knowing Cera." :OhYou Chomper said to the two with a shrug. Though either way, he doesn't want the two to fight.
-
Redcroc’s eyes filled with magma sparkles as he watched Thid and the Pack take down the Hadrosaurs and Longnecks. Thud had proven he could be coerced, which was necessary for the plan to destroy Redclaw. Redcroc examined the carnage, and after they all took care of their bodiky needs ordered the march to carry on. Redcroc coykd see Thud was downcast over the hunt’s success. He reached with his sickle claws around Thud’s shoulder. “What is a matter my boy? Your hunt was a success. Why so glum?”
———————
Redbelly rose from his back, his heart pounding like a drun from the tickles and dancing. He then saw on a ridge nearby a figure like a Fastbiter, when he squinted it was gone. But the sight turned his merriment to worry. Was that Screech? Was it Thud? What about the yellowbellies? It was then in that moment he realized how vulnerable his new family was. He rose and tore off the vines and garlands with his two forked claws. Oopah took notice. “Redbelly, what’s a matter?” Redbelly stepped away from binefire and crowd and rounded a rocky pass. He came to a pool of water, and looking in the reflection, he sawchis scared face, eye and belly. He remebers where hus wounds came from, and he never wanted his yellowbelly family to feel the pain he has carried. Eyeing his belly he felt the shame return, his failure absolute, would he fail his new family too?
-
"And--that bright red belly!" Cera blurted. "When--how...have they brainwashed him??" She put her paw to her forehead in confusion. "I'd say it can't be Red Claw, but...he had the claw, and the eye, too! Somehow, he's become a--a Redbelly!" She got on her feet and declared, "We have to tell someone!"
-
"I feel unsatisfied milord… I need a more deadly hunt." Thud tried to force a grin, but in reality his mind was somewhere else.
Earlier, right after the hunt.
"I got the kid right here. I don't understand why you wanted me to swipe the target of the Spines." Said a fast biter as he pushes along the horrified Haudros child.
Thud gestures his head in a direction to the child and the young Haudros runs off in terror! "...You're letting him go?"
Thud is hesitant to respond but..."...I don't see it as fair game. It's a low chance for him alone, but it's more fair."
The fast biter tilted his head and think for a moment. "I… see your point, but I don't expect Redcroc to agree."
"I don't either… I have my rules and he has his… I won't stop you if you wish to tell."
"I won't... You've always been a respectable fast biter to me. I won't object your beliefs." He trots back to the Sharpteeth herd with Thud joining to report their success and that the coast was clear.
Thud felt like he was changing, thoughts like a honor code normally wouldn't come to mind, but after his time with Redclaw and that small swimmer and sharptooth, he began to see things in a different light, although ever so slowly. The more he thought about the terrified look of the Haudros the more scared he became of himself… as if he was projecting himself in the Haudros's place. Thud shook his head.
The smile that looked like it would've always remained on Boogie's face… dissipated when he saw how Redbelly looked… He followed over to the sad Sharptooth. "Something's bothering you?..." Boogie could tell something was, he could feel like an event that happened in this sharptooth's past made him like this.
"If that alone ain't crazy, me actually agreeing with you is! Our valley is gonna be invaded by yellowbellied invaders and a Redbellied Redclaw!!" Hyp proceeds to run in a panic back to where they came. Here's hoping they can fight off the insanity that is the yellowbellies.
-
"Well, what do you wanna do now?" Guido asked the others, glad to be back on firm ground at the bottom of the Looking Rock.
Chomper and Wild Arms didn't even have time to answer, however, before they heard a cry of panic. "GUYS!"
Wild Arms and Guido spun around and saw that Cera was barreling straight towards them. And if there was one thing that made Wild Arms nervous, it was a threehorn barreling towards him.
"Stay back!" Wild Arms yelled, waving his arms in front of him as if to stop Cera. "That was an accident when I ate your dad's tree stars, I swear!"
Cera frowned. "You ate my dad's tree stars?"
Wild Arms giggled anxiously. "Wait--what? Did I say that?"
"Oh, forget it," Cera said, "there's something more important to worry about!"
"What's the matter?" Guido asked. "Is it what was going on between you and Hyp?" As soon as those words left his mouth, he blushed. "Not to say a-anything's, uh, going on between you guys, so to speak...heh, that was a bad choice of words..." He glanced towards Chomper, hoping his friend would say something to change the subject.
-
Redcroc eyed Thud as he spoke of his zeal for a greater prey. Redcroc smerked and said, “Your prowess today is commendable, how you lead the Fast Biter pack was exemplary. However, why did you spare the hadro hatchling?” Redcroc kepted a fixed lizard eye on Thud as he paused for an explanation.
———————
Redbelly turned to see Boogie there and attempted to answer the inquiry. “I fear for our family.. I failed my first one, and bear the marks on my body.” Redbelly pointed to his glowing crimson underbelly. “I fear I will not be able to protect you when the time comes, and if snything happened to you or the others.. I would.” A tear filled Redbelly’s red scared eye. “I can’t..no I won’t let that happen!” Redbelly let out a gruff roar and raised his head upward. “I will not let anything hapoen to my new family! I promise you!”
@Goldenwind
-
Thud almost frozed and his heart sank. Did that fast biter tell? Did RedCroc see? He took a breath. You know what? Why should he care what RedCroc thought? :thudstonk He is Thud, one of the greatest fast biters known around. So what if everyone would see him as treacherous? He can hold his own like he did again and again. "It wasn't a fair fight… The cycle of life to me is the survival of the strongest… you lose, you lose. I simply wanted to give the youngling the chance to adapt. Which was why I didn't want him hunted. I thought you wouldn't understand so I kept hush." Thud explained with his heart. Awaiting RedCroc's reaction, prepared for the worst.
Boogie felt like he could understand what Redbelly meant. Every word in sharptooth made sense to the leafeater, or berryeater. He began to smile again seeing Redbelly's determination. "You don't have to worry, no matter what happens, we'll be by your side." He puts a hand on Redbelly's side. "Remember to live the moment and follow the groove. It's what we all live by and it helps quite a lot." He said.
Hyp fumed at the way Guido suggested that he and Cera were together. x(cera He thinks she is better off with that Spiketail who eats all the time. :SmugSpike But he shook it off. Now's not the time!
"Did you see something in the secret caverns?" Chomper asked curiously.
"Yes and it was horrible!!" Hyp put's his hands on his face, still trying to process it.
Chomper gasped! "Were there Sharpteeth!?"
"Worse!!" :opetrie Hyp yelled in terror.
-
Redcroc blinked his slit serpentine eyes. He listen intently to Thud explanation. After a pause from the Fast Biter, Redcroc said, “I understand, but when we arrive at the Great Pass we are tasked with destroying those kids that brought shame to all Sharpteeth. Will you have the resolve to kill children then Thud?” Redcroc squinted hus eye as if peering into the Fast Biter’s souk. Had he been mistaken to select this former servant of Redclaw?
—————————
Redbelly lowered his head to Boogie and forced a smile. His heart was filled worry, the figure that looked like Screech or Thud had awakened an alarm inside him. He felt something awful lurked ahead, and he tried to reassure Boogie, “The groove.. yes I will keep the groove.” Redbelly rejoined the Yellowbellies around the bonefire. Oopah offered him aome more berries, and he took them. With each bite Redbelly felt a little better.
-
With a gasp, Wild Arms tried, very unsuccessfully, to hide behind Guido. "WORSE than sharpteeth??" he squeaked.
"I mean, it was a sharptooth!" Cera blurted. "It was Red Claw! But--but..."
"But what??" cried Guido, clinging to Wild Arms's neck.
"But...he...he was with YELLOWBELLIES!" gasped Cera.
Wild Arms and Guido stared at each other for a moment, then sighed in relief. "Phew..."
"Alright, heh-heh, very funny," Guido said.
"You really scared us!" Wild Arms gasped.
-
Thud was silent. Those kids have been in the survival game for awhile and he has chased them many times before. It’s been rumored that they may have been the ones to have made “The Sharptooth” disappear. If they go down, he reasoned that they would go down having accomplished a lot… But… Could he actually betray the sharptooth that has helped him? He told himself it was a one time thing but… No... Don’t let your personal feelings and honor block the sharptooth way. You will fight that young Sharptooth and you will move on like nothing happened… That’s what Thud told himself… But his heart tells another story… A story of a scared young fastbiter that has witnessed betrayal and loss… Something that Thud wants to keep locked up. He merely responds with, “I’ll fight and slay whoever stands in my way…” The response was ambiguous, but it was the only thing Thud could bring himself to say.
Boogie nodded happily, remaining close by Redbelly’s side. He could feel there is something coming ahead, but if there is nothing to currently prepare for, it’s best to flow with the moment's groove. So he did! And all his worries vanished.
“That’s pretty silly.” Chomper couldn’t help but laugh. He heard about how ridiculous the yellowbellies were.
Hyp blinked. “It’s not a joke!” He shouts at Chomper before turning to Guido and Wild Arms. “You’re both in on this aren’t you? Spies to those guys?” He accused Wild Arms and Guido, giving them threatening looks. “Your tickling tactics won’t work on me!” He then takes a ninja fighting stance on one leg… He looks even more ridiculous.
Chomper laughs even more, he couldn’t help it from how ridiculous Hyp was acting. He isn’t a bully, he is a clown.
-
Wild Arms tried to stifle a laugh. "Wow, guys, he's cracked."
Guido was downright dumbfounded. "Ah...okay," he muttered, taking a step back from Hyp. "I think...I'm just gonna go someplace else now." Turning away, he began to walk off. If Hyp was losing it, he didn't want to stick around to see what happened next!
"We're telling the truth!" Cera insisted, stomping her foot. "Oh, forget it! You goofballs can never take anything seriously, anyway! Come on, Hyp, let's tell the grown-ups!"
-
Mr. Threehorn heard about Wild Arms staying in the Great Valley. He didn't want to be a part of Wild Arm's whole Sharptooth routine with Chomper. "Oh No! A SHARPTOOTH!", And then Wild Arms would faint. Mr. Threehorn couldn't take it, and came to a secluded little area of the valley. He thought it was great. No Wild Arms, no drama, and best of all, no Longnecks! :longneckBRUH
"This is the life," Mr. Threehorn said to himself. Today was going to have no problems.
-
That was when Cera suddenly yelled, "DAD!" :rhett_ohno Running towards Mr. Threehorn as fast as her legs could carry her, she blurted, "Dad--wait'll you hear what's going on!"
-
Mr. Threehorn could see that today might have one little problem, but he wouldn't let that ruin the very peaceful day he was having.
"Cera, what's wrong?" he said, hoping that it was NOT Wild Arms related.
-
"Mr. Threehorn!" Hyp cried out to the big guy. Hyp respected Mr. Threehorn a lot, surely he can help. "It's a emergency! There is something worse than RedClaw!!"
-
Mr. Threehorn sighed.
"Hyp, what could possibly be worse than Redclaw? Wild Arms?"
-
"No, even more annoying than Wild Arms! Have you ever heard of yellowbellies??" Cera exclaimed.
-
Mr. Threehorn couldn't bear to think about anything worse than Wild Arms.
"I've never heard of anything called a "Yellowbelly." What are these creatures like?"
-
"They're bellies are big and yellow!! They attack with tickles!! They brainwashed RedClaw and they are gonna make us join them!!'" Hyp screamed in a panic!
-
Redcroc gave a nod of approval to Thud’s words when one of Spino Bros let out horn like blast from its nostrils. They had arrived at the outskirts of the Great Pass. “At last.. our post is before us!” Redcroc joned the Spinos at the head of the contigent. Standing a rocky cleft he examined his troops. “Today we will strike terror into our enemies! Today we will restore the honor of the Clan and wipe put the pesky kids that have brought us all shame! We come to the Great Pass where we shall recieve greatness! Show no mercy! Slay them all! Onward!” The Spino Bros sped forward with the Fast Biters in tow. Redcroc gave a crooked smile.
——————————
Redbelly felt rocks by his empty bowl begin to tremble and scatter. He rose and felt the vibrations under hus feet. Something was coming and he knew thise tremors to well. Redbellywith the best knowledge of leaf eater and berryenese shouted to Boogie, “Scatter! Get everyone out of this plain!” Redbelly ran to the vibrations, he stood on a rock cleft overlooking a valley in the canyon, he saw dust bellow and shadows. He peered with his good eye and saw the fins of the Spinos swimming in the dust storm. Redbelly gasped, his heart pounding like a drum in his chest. There were too many...
-
Mr. Threehorn decided that today was not going to be relaxing.
"Now Hyp, you can't let these creatures make you join them. Like I've said before, you have to be tough."
He didn't truly believe Hyp but just wanted to get him and Cera to go away.
-
"Yeah!" Hyp smiled feeling pumped up. There is no way he is gonna let some silly big bellied bozos make a fool of him! "I'll give those yellowbellies some tough Hyp hurt!" He cracks his knuckles!
Thud signals to his squad and they all charge together… Something tells the sharptooth that things are gonna get interesting. He never felt this way before, almost as if it's a omen.
"Okay guys! Scatter and remember to stay bushy!!" Boogie shouts out to his herd with them all hiding themselves… Not Boogie. He was gonna make sure nothing bad happens to Redbelly. He hides behind some rocks. He see's the what Redclaw saw and he began to sweat nervously… "This will be nasty…" He says to himself.
"Huh? What's that?" Chomper herd some rumbling around the place… It didn't feel like a earthshake but… something was off.
-
Redbelly stood in full view on the cliff overlooking the canyon, the dust still obscuring the view of Redcroc’s army. With a deep breath Redbelly leapt down into the gorge of dust and began attacking Fastbiters. He threw them with his mighty mouth, their bodies dlying above the sea of dust. Then two sails like fins closed in on Redbelly’s position, they looked like swimming sharpteeth fins as they cut through the tan fog. Suddenly all drew quiet, and then there was a loud shriek. Redcroc shouted, “Hault! Let the dust clear!” As the fog began to lift, Redbelly was seen pinned by the Spini Bros, their croc snouts and teeth holding him down. Redcroc cackled, “Well isn’t this a surprise? The heretic’s hide is now mine!” Redcroc took steps that shook the ground, He came to Redbelly’s position. He took nite of Redbelly having marking of blue circles and red dots like berries etched on his brow and sides. “You sure look odd, what are these bright circles?” Redbelly roared and tried to break free of Spinos but collapsed back on the ground. He felt that terror fill his heart once more, his promotion had been true. Redcroc eyed three names etched in berry on Redbelly, “Foofah, Loopah, and Oopah.. so you have a new tribe do you Redflaw? Where are they?!” Redbelly felt a fire burn in his chest, “I will never tell you!” Redcroc, “We shall see.. perhaps you will be more amenable to an old friend?”
Redcroc turned to reveal the Fast Biters behind him. One of them differed in color, an olive anong the oranges and browns. Redbelly felt his heart sink, could it be?!
@Goldenwind
-
"Hello… Old friend." Thud said with a wicked smile…He was awaiting this moment… However once he saw how Redclaw looked especially with the tribal drawn names, he breaks into laughter. "Whatever tribe you joined appears to have the intelligence of hatchlings. How one can fall…"
Rude… Boogie thought despite not understanding a single word. He wanted to join in to help, but if he did, he knows they'll be gang up upon and no amount of fast movements can outpace so many sharpteeth at once.
-
Redbelly squinted his giod eyes to make out Thud and the words of hus old ally and friend stung like sickle claws on both Thud’s feet. “Thud.. I thought I would never see you again.” Redcroc scoffed, “as charming as this reunion is, I have a valley to invade. Thud I give you the honors of dispatching this poor exuse for a Sharptooth.” The two Spino brows held Redbelly’s neck to bear. Redcroc cackled, “finish him Thud!” Redbelly looked at Thud with his scared eye, and felt his heart thud and thud. Then after a moment’s silence, Redbelly closed his eyes.
-
"I've been waiting for this so long… But before I finish this deed… Could you give some closure for an old friend?… What made you and Screech think hunting a bunch of brats would be more important than my life?" Thud secretly held a grudge when he was stuck on that rock. He could still feel the pain in his tail whenever the memory arises. This time he will bury that hatchet.
Boogie could tell, it was do or lose time. "This is bad, time to act!" Boogie runs to his brothern! He shooves his head into the ground. "Bushy time is over! It's berry fighting time now everyone!" He shouts into the ground! The yellowbellies emerge from the ground and follow Boogie to the berry bushes.
"Like we rehearsed buddies! Foofah! Loopah! Oopah! You know what to do!"
-
On the other side of the valley, the chaos right outside the Great Wall went unnoticed.
"You know..." Guido was telling Wild Arms, "those newcomers I saw earlier, they had some of those, uh, prickle things like we do."
"Yeah?" Wild Arms said, looking at the feathers on his arms.
"You don't think they mi-might be related to me somehow, do you??" Guido asked energetically. "Maybe they know who I am!"
Wild Arms patted his friend's shoulder sympathetically. "Dude, I'm sorry to say this, but it seems kinda unlikely." He remembered how, when they first met, Guido had asked him about his past, too. "I'd like to see you get some answers as much as you, though. I guess you could at least ask them."
Guido smiled. "Yeah...when they get in the valley, I'm gonna talk to 'em."
Meanwhile, Cera was rolling her eyes at Hyp being "tough." She could tell when her annoyed father was just trying to humor someone. "Come on, Dad, take us seriously!" she grumbled. "If you don't come with us, I--I'm going to have to talk to Grandpa Longneck instead!" she cried.
-
"Grandpa Longneck?!!?!?!? That guy thinks he's better than everyone because he's bigger than everyone. I can't let Cera go talk to him", Mr. Threehorn thought to himself.
"Alright, I'll see what the fuss is over these "Yellowbelies." But if I see Wild Arms flailing about, I'll send him Beyond the Mysterious Beyond!"
-
Hyp rolls his eyes trying to hide his chuckle. :rolleye He finds the feud between Mr. Threehorn and Grandpa Longneck to be amusing. "Wild Arms might be a spy for the yellowbellies, so go ahead."
"Excuse me, but did someone say Beyond the Mysterious Beyond?" A male Rainbow Face appeared. (SORRY!! COULDN'T HELP IT!)
"Gah! Where did you come from!?" Hyp was startled as he jumps to hide behind Cera!
-
Redbelly heard the pang in Thud’s voice as he recounted that day. Redbelly opening his eyes said, “I bear the blame Thud, I let clan ideals blind me. I wanted to stamp out thise kids who were menance to all Sharpteeth, and I lost sight of loyalty to my friends. I am ao sorry Thud. At least now at my end I hope to make amends.” Redcroc hissed, “enough talk! Finish him off and we will crush those pathetic kids!” Redbelly recognized the same zeal he once had in Redcroc. Once more he closed his eyes. Oopah and Foofah, and Loopah poised their berries in their mouths ready to fire at the Spinos and the rest of the Sharpteeth. Oopah couched her archberries, “steady.. wait for it..”
-
Thud frozed… Was this the Redclaw from before? He is actually going against the clan's ideals?... The feelings he had earlier mixed with Redbelly's words… Redcroc was starting to resemble what he onced hated whille what he hated was… basically gone in a sense… He doesn't know what to do… In frusteration, he roars! "WRRRYYAAAH!"
"Now!!" Boogie shouts immediately spitting out the first batch of berries rapidly at Thud from behind cover!
SPLAT!! Thud blinks with his mouth covered in berries… his tongue comes into contact from roaring… It was… actually delicious!? This shocking revelation confused Thud as the berry assault began!
-
Cera gasped. "Y-YOU?" She had thought this weirdo would never be back in the valley again! "What are YOU doing here??" she sharply inquired. :rainbowwave x(cera
-
A hail of berries descended on Spino Bros who loosened their grip on Redbelly. He ferling the lose of tightness, tore at the charcoal heads with his mouth, the bananna teeth sinking into the two crocodile snouts. The two Spino Bros broke off and Redbelly rushed at Thud, not to harm him but to engage Redcroc eho was swooping his open croc mouth at Thud. Berries bounced and dplat the Fastbiters who in confusion scattered. Redbelly stepped over his old friend and took Redcroc’s bite. Redbelly let out a roar, but before Redcroc coukd get his jaws locked two berries hit him in eye and he lost his grip. Redcroc was now raspberry, and his vanguard sail bearing crocbrethern had fled into the canyon with the fast biters. Redcroc shouted, “Rally! You fools! Its just berries! Ugh!” Redbelly collapsed to the ground, Redcroc turned and saw him laying there. Redcroc, “You disgrace! You’ve soiled my campaign! Now I stink with failure! Just like you! Rawr!” Redcroc rushed when suddenly a sapphire striped Fastbiter leapt on top of Redbelly guarding him. Redcroc, “You! Impossible!” Screech, “You will not touch him again!” Screech let out a screech and he rushed at Redcroc, leaping on to him and biting his neckline/ Redcroc, “Arghhhh!”
Redbelly/ Redclaw with his one good eye looked at Thud as his vision blurred.
The yellowbellies comtinued to fire volley’s of berries on the Fast Biters who were now stumbling and colliding in dusty canyon. The two Spino Bros fled into a nearby cave.
@Goldenwind
-
Thud couldn't believe it. He was paralyzed seeing Redbelly intercept Redcrocs attack. Did Redcroc just try to bump Thud off? Just like that?... Thud felt thankful, it made it more easier for him to choose. He stood his ground and tried to help Redclaw when Screech intervened. "Screech…" Thud smiled and jumped right on Redcroc too, biting his scar!
"I don't know what's happening but I think the green and blue fast biters are on our side!" Boogie shouted as he continued to pelt the berries against the fast biters.
The fast biter that helped Thud earlier sighed seeing how quickly Redcroc tried to kill Thud and felt like it would be better to abandon Redcroc entirely. "Adios Thud, till we meet again…" He runs off… Where to? It isn't clear…
"Visiting! The Great Valley is a marvelous place after all. I don't see the harm in coming back to this pla-...valley" He said with an optimistic smile having caught himself. :rainbowwave
Hyp tilts his head. "He is a weirdo…" He whispers to Mr. Threehorn.
-
"Yeah," Mr. Threehorn said, eyeing the rainbow weirdo suspiciously. Where do these Rainbow Faces come from?
"Look, Rainbow Face, now's a really bad time, so why don't you go back with your herd, and leave us alone!" Mr. Threehorn said furiously."I'm in no mood for this Rainbow Face business, when we're already dealing with so called "Yellowbellies.""
-
Meanwhile, on the other side of the valley, a female Rainbow Face had her eyes on Chomper, peering through the trees at the young sharptooth. This, she thought, was certainly an interesting finding. She had never seen a carnivorous dinosaur so mild-mannered. It appeared he had an unusual diet for his species as well, since she had seen him eat bugs moments ago. Were all young carnivores of this planet so amiable? Perhaps they had to grow into a more aggressive mindset. Or maybe she was looking at an undiscovered species, a more friendly type of carnivore. She tilted her head in thought as she tried to settle on a working theory.
-
"Yellowbellies, you say?…" The Rainbow Face scratches under his beak curiously. Like he knows something the others don't. "I know them quite well. Such a fascinating spe- group." He said. Gotta work on my vocabulary here. He thought.
"You know the yellowbellies?" This caught Hyp's attention. He still thinks he is a loon, but he wants to hear him out.
Meanwhile Chomper was thinking about what Cera and Hyp said earlier… Maybe he should have taken what they said more seriously. He then spots something in the trees… "...Hidden Runner?" Chomper called out, although a bit worried.
-
Screech was to Thud like two twin blades in Redcroc’s neck, their sapphire and wmerald hues sparkling beneath the bright circle. Redcroc fell back, timbling down a hillside as the Fast Biter duo dug into his scared body. Redcroc roared as he tolled to get the Thud and Screech off. He slanmed Screech with his bidy weight, and tossed Thud with his claw. Redcroc now covered in a new set of scars and berry dye rolled to his feet and howled. He saw the suo recoverying and ready to resume their attack, so he fled doen the gorge and made his escape.
Redbelly had passed out of consciousness. Oopah cane running and tried to wake him. His bidy was like stone rock, cold and smokth. “no, no, Redbelly! Wake up!” Shouted Oopah. Foofah and Loopah joined her side their faces somber. Screech returned to Redbelly and saw him in his unconcious state. Oopah began to scream, “there has to be something we can do! Boogie! Something! Something!” Oopah began to wail, and Screech though he knew not these strange yellowbellies, came over to offer comfort. Was Redbelly done for?
@Goldenwind
-
Coward!! You are the true disgrace!!" Thud roared out to Redcroc as he fled. He tumbled a little, slightly hurt from the battle, but he get's up again, he can brush this off. But Redclaw… He heard Oopah wailing. "Darn it…"
Boogie leaps to Redbelly's aid, he looks frantic. He points to one side of the herd! "Y'all Gather Red,blue, and purple berries from those bushes!" He points to another side "Y'all get big leaves! This is a wake up call emergency!!" He shouts before checking Redbelly's pulse. "His beat is still beating, but weak! We have to be quick!" He shouts!
Thud sweats nervously, he doesn't know what they are doing, but if it is to save Redclaw, he is gonna help! "You go help the group that is heading down there and I'll go with the ones getting berries!" He exclaimed to Screech before darting!
-
The Rainbow Face sighed, stepping out of the shadows. "Hidden, yes," she admitted, "though not a runner." She preferred when the subjects of her observation were unaware of her being there, as their knowledge of her presence could affect things, but she'd already been spotted now. "I'd assume you're a newcomer to this valley yourself?" she inquired. "I don't recall seeing you on my last visit."
-
Chomper was amazed. She doesn't seem to be concerned about him being a sharptooth. He couldn't help but feel complimented. "Oh, I just came in here about one cold time ago… It's because my parents were concerned for my safety, with RedClaw roaming about and all..." Chomper said, although a bit reluctant to say the last part. Though he believed she would be curious why a Sharptooth would seek refuge with leafeaters.
-
Screech fled in sesrch of the berries Boogie had described and helped Oopah gather them. They brought the beefies on leaves to Boogie and then stood there watching Redbelly. Screech had left Redclaw’s service to prusue his own path. He never suspected Redclaw would reform his ways. Now the one he had sought to leave was standing on the edge of a leaf, and Screech felt sorrow for his former sharplord.
Oopah joined Foofah and Loopah who stood like sentinels by Redbelly’s side, they sung a song in Redbelly’s ear, hoping it would sooth him. Everything now depended on Boogie. Redbelly was in the hands of berry physician.

Boogie mushed the berries into a jelly and gently smothered them over Redbelly's wounds...He sung along with the other Yellowbellies as a means to keep himself focused. He placed some leaves on top of Redclaw's wounds like bandages with the jelly acting as both a styptic and a disinfectant. Thud provided some assistance with the bandaging with Boogie showing no objection to it. "Come on big guy, stay strong…" Boogie said softly to Redbelly as he finished the patching.
Thud watched eagerly. "You can do this…" He muttered to RedClaw. Hoping for him to recover.
-
Screech joined Thud’s side as the vigil drew on. Nightfall came and the moonlight illuminated Redbelly as ge lay there lifeless. Screech laid beside him and said, “You can’t give up now.. you've been through to much.” Oopah, Foofah and Loopah brough some water in a coconut shaped bowl. It had berries mixed in it. Oopah opened Redbelly’s mouth and tried to put some on his tongue. A faint breath blew her feathers on her head. She began to chant, “Redbelly, Redbelly, be healed by jelly!” Night past and a new day broke with the Bright Circle. Everyone had drifted off to sleep, and upon waking Oopah saw Redbelly was gone! Oopah, “Where is he?! He’s gone.” Screech awoke and shrieked. Soon a search party started only for Redbelly to be found feasting on some berries near the bonefire. Oopah, “Redbelly! You’re ok!” She ran and snuggled his snout. Screech hesitantly approached step by step.
Redbelly saw Screech and Thud, he rose and gave out a roar. Screech froze still and then Redbelly came and nuzzled Screech with his Grey head. He then did the same to Thud. “Thank you both for saving me!”

Grandpa Longneck heard a bit of a ruckus off in the distance. It was probably Mr. Threehorn related, but it didn't hurt to check.
"Mr. Threehorn", Grandpa Longneck said, "is everything okay?"
Mr. Threehorn replied, "No, one of the Rainbow Faces came back to the Valley."
Grandpa Longneck took a close look at the Rainbow Face, and said, "you were with the far-walkers that came here a while ago, right?"
-
"I don't suppose you're a friend of Littlefoot's, are you?" the female Rainbow Face inquired. The young longneck she'd previously met had always seemed to have a diverse gang of friends in tow. "Might I ask as well how you came to coexist with...certain others in this valley?" she added, thinking of that cranky threehorn she'd encountered before, who had seemed to object to anything and everything within his reach.
"Skip the small talk..." Cera sighed, interrupting Grandpa Longneck's question. "He said he knows something about those yellowbellies!" She marched towards the Rainbow Face. "Are you telling the truth? We already had this whole phony magic stone story from you before, how do we know we can believe you now?"
-
"Redbelly!!" Boogie cried happily! Bouncing in joy!
Thud didn't flinch at Red Claw's roar and tried to keep his cool. "It's nothing…" Suddenly his eyes began to water. "No one should ever get left behind…" Thud responds to the nuzzle with an out of nowhere hug on the snout with Oopah. Something in the sharptooth broke free as he allowed the tears to flow… Thud was showing a side he has kept hidden throughout his time as a hunter…
Boogie joined in with the hug as well. Happy to see his best friend better again!
The Rainbow Face bowed. "Why yes." He then responded to Cera. "The difference is that it was more of a legend, a myth. However I have "first-ha-paw-claw experience?" When it comes to your Yellowbelly predicament."
"Oh really? What do you think of this Gramps?" Hyp asked Grandpa Longneck, curious what Littlefoot's wise Grandpa has to say about the strange visitor.
Chomper was amazed when she brought up Littlefoot. "You know Littlefoot?" He then thought for a moment before speaking. "Well me and a friend, Ruby the fast runner, journeyed our way here to the valley to get help on figuring out how to stop Red Claw… We weren't welcomed at first… But my friends stood up for us, including Littlefoot... So they agreed to let me and Ruby stay with some rules in place." Chomper explained.
-
Grandpa Longneck thought that the Rainbow Faces weren't that harmful on their last visit here.
"Let's hear what the Rainbow Face has to say about the, um, the..."
"Yellowbellies", Mr. Threehorn replied, "they're big, with large yellow bellies, and they're not exactly *ahem* the brightest." :PCera
"Okay", Grandpa Longneck said, "let's hear what he has to say about the Yellowbelies."
-
"What Threehorn said was anyone who first encountered a Yellowbelly would think. However the Yellowbellies are much more complex. How they work together with everybody always in agreement. They have such unrivable positivity that can rub off on anyone who has encountered them… Including me." He laughs a bit.
Hyp looks unamused, but then again he did see the Yellowbellies tickle Redclaw.
"Actually if we await for… The next time the bright circle arises, I am certain you all will see what I mean." The Rainbow Face smiles (Trying to keep the timeline of both stories together. XD).
"What!?" Hyp is shocked. Won't the yellowbellies be here by then? Does he want them to meet those crazed Sharptooth ticklers?
-
"Well, I think this whole thing is total nonsense!" Mr. Threehorn grumbled, "Especially since this Rainbow Face showed up! These creatures probably don't even exist!" Mr. Threehorn stomped off. "If these Yellowbelies come in the Valley, let me know first!" Mr. Threehorn said sarcastically.
"Sorry about that", Grandpa Longneck said to the Rainbow Face. "He can get kind of worked up over nothing, but you'll get used to it."
-
Redbelly was elated that his two families were in warm embrace. At last a calm after a storm. Redbelly nudged Boogie as a sign. It was time for Screech and Thud tp offically be intiated in the Yellowbelly Grove. :)
——————
Redcroc stumbled alone in the desert, nearing the smoking mountains. His body baked by the sun, and his left eye now swollen shut and scared. He crossed to the fire mountain range, and made his way to the Tooth Throne Roon. There he foynd Carnie and five tyrannosaurs standing in place. Redcroc fell on his knees before the Blood Red and Black Carnotaur. Carnie roared and his two horns smoked. “Word of your failure has spread amongst the tribes. You have brought shame to all Sharpteeth!” Redcroc prostrated hinself on the ashen floor, his head buried in volcanic rock. Carnie, “You have done worse than Redclaw.. beaten by Yellowbellies! Yellowbellies! Those stupid berry birds!” Redcroc reared his head, “My lord! They were not alone! Screech and Thud were who bested me!” Carnie growled, “enough excuses! You were to secure the Great Pass and instead you bungled it you Baryonyx bone head! For that you must be excommunicated.” Redcroc snarled, “This is unfair! I was bested by two Fast Biters, not those kids and fruit!” Carnie, “Enough! Silence!” Redcroc roared, “I am not taking your sentence! Everyone has been outwitted by those kids and I fell to the two greatest fast biters! I will not accept shame for being defeated by fellow sharpteeth!” Carnie, “insolence! You shall be outcasted until you regain your honor!” Redcroc snarled, “I never lost my honor! To the burning fire you all can go! I’ve had enough!” Redcroc left the throne room, the light causes by the lava making him appear like fire itself. Redcroc as he stood on ashen mountainside looked with his one good eye and he vowed aloud, “I will destroy those fast biters, they took my eye, I will strip them bone by bone until there is nothing left!”
-
Boogie nodded to Redbelly. "It's time for the welcoming ceremony!" Boogie cried out happily.
All the yellowbellies cheered.
Thud had no idea what they mean't but was suprised as soon after Boogie offered jelly made from the leftover berries that were collected. Thud was at first reluctant considering how greens normally tasted to sharpteeth… But then he recalled how delicous the berries were… He took a little sip… And guzzled it right down! It was so good that not even the legendary fast biters could exist! Once they were done, the Yellowbelly all around the two fast biters glomped them! Dressing both Screech and Thud in expertly made leaf thats that resemble Yellowbelly hair feathers and leaves overing their tails to resemble yellowbelly tail feathers. Thud... didn't really mind how the leaves looked, he felt like they complimented his green appearance. Screech however... Thud tried to hold in his laughter.
"Hmm…What should your new names be?" Boogie thought.
"Names? What are you-" Thud froozed… Did he just understand a leafeater? :rhett_ohno WHAT WAS IN THAT JELLY!?!
-
Screech susdenly had his mouth filled with beery jelly and leave laurels put on hus head and fixed to his tail. His eyes grew big as he now understood the leaf eater dialect! Suddenly the yellowbellies began to dance and chant “Groovy! Groovy! Groovy!” Screech felt his claw taken by Oopah who had him join the circle of yellowbellies. Suddenly the Sapphire Fast Biter felt his sickle claw feet begin to lock in step with the dance, and then he let himself go to the groove. Redbelly laughed as he rocked back and forth. To see his old friends and new ones together in this jelly jubilee made his scared eye shed a tear. At last they were all family.
—————————
Redcroc found himself stumbling among a dino graveyard. Massive skeletons of brontosaurs, bridges made of rib cages. Below bubbling oil tar pits of black ooze broke the eery silence. Redcroc slipped and fell down a hill and crashed into pit. There covered in black tar and his head now stuck in a Tyrannosaur skull. As he tried to pry the skull off, he heard a rustling. Redcroc turned and saw shapes in the fog, living fossils of fast biters and one Suchimimus whose sail was made of spiked bone. Redcroc backed against the wall, as he was surrounded.
-
Guido suddenly interrupted the conversation between Chomper and the Rainbow Face by blowing in on a strong breeze, accidentally smacking right into the little sharptooth's face. "Whoa, whoa! Sorry..." he quickly apologized.
-----------
Part of Cera thought her father was right and this whole thing was just baloney. But somewhere in the back of her mind, she felt unsettled, unsure. She wasn't sure she wanted to wait until the next day to find out where this was going to go...
"Um...what do you mean?" the threehorn hesitantly asked the Rainbow Face. "You have to tell us--what's gonna happen?"
-
Thud see's Screech dancing with Oopah amd couldn't help but get into the beat himself. He smiled as he tapped his sickle claw. For once he felt joy, an emotion that was almost alien to him. He felt overwhelmed by it as he starts to Dance! He even twirled around some other yellowbellies feeling the beat. Boogie laughed alongside the two newcomers. Thud couldn't help but laugh as well, for once he was enjoying himself and the new family he has. "How does Greenbelly sound my friend?" Boogie asked Thud.
"Sounds like a fine name to me." Thud smirks. "I suppose that'll make you Bluebelly. He said to Screech with a chuckle. :lol
Chomper is caught offguard by Guido, but laughs it off. He lifts Guido off his face gently. "It's alright Guido. I was just talking with a new friend!" :chompysmile He smiled.
"That would be telling won't it? Oh wait, you did say tell..." The rainbow face rubs the bottom of his beak.
"Give me a break, the whole valley could be riding on this!" Hyp is ready to give the Rainbow face a piece of his mind. :OzzyAngry
"You'll be surprised… That's all I'll say." The Rainbow Face makes a zipper motion on his mouth that is lost on Hyp.
-
Mr. Threehorn was having a very bad day. First, Wild Arms, then Yellowbellies, and now, Rainbow Faces. But, Mr. Threehorn is determined to have just a couple minutes of relaxation.
Until he comes across Chomper, Guido, and... A RAINBOW FACE?!?!?!?
He is now determined to get the Rainbow Faces out of the Valley.
"Hey!" Mr. Threehorn shouts. "Quit filling their head's with rubbish!"
-
Screech laughed at Thud’s suggestion and lowered hus head to recieve a laurel with blueberrries. The groove had taken him and he began doing the dinosaur, cartwheeling and spinning in mid air. This Deinonychus could dance! Redbelly shook his tail and suddenly Loopah leapt on his tail for a ride. This provoked Foofah and some others to get on the fleshy grey cedar of Lebanon and ride it like a swing. Suddenly large fountain of rasberry, blueberry, and gooseberry shot up from yellowbellies knto the air covering the whole party in beery juice. Screech opened wide his mouth to drink the streams as he spun around, the festivities had definately reached groovy!
————————
Redcroc was surroundeed by the skelesaurs, their contorted bodies and bone faces illuminated in eye sockets by yellow light. The Suchimi approached Redcroc, and bowed on one knee to the utter shock of Redcroc. “Lord Skull, at last you have graced is with your presence. We have waited long for your arrival.” Redcroc peered out of the Tyranno skull in total bewilderment. “We have waited for the Bone Lord to lead us into land of the loving so that we may feast on flesh and remind all of the exstinction that awaits all!” Redcroc, “uh.. I see.. are you living or dead or am I dead?” The Skullmimus cackled, “we are the undead Lord Skull.. banished from realm of the living, but it was foretold one day a Tyranoosaur would lead us on the Great Walk and we will find rest!” Redcroc felt more uneasy, and he took a deep breath. “This Great Walk.. where does it lead?” The Skeletamimus chuckled, “Why the Great Valley of course milord.” Redcroc suddenly saw Screech and Thud in his mind, with this new fossil army he could overpower them and the whole herd living in the Valley. Redskull turned and asked his bonelytes, “how many are tou?” The Skullimimus shouted, “we are Legion!” The boneyard began to shake and more figures emerged in shapes of Fastbiters, Allosauria, and one Baryonyx. Redskull made his Tyranno-skull mask smerk.
-
"Oh," said Guido, turning towards the Rainbow Face. "y-you're new here, huh? Where'd you come from?"
"Let's just say I live rather far away," the Rainbow Face replied. As she shot Mr. Threehorn a disapproving look, she muttered, "Far away from certain threehorns, quite fortunately."
-----------
Cera had no idea what the lip-zipping gesture meant, either. "What was that weird movement supposed to mean?" she asked, annoyed that Rainbow Faces could never communicate anything simply.
-
Thud danced around in merriment with Boogie spinning around like a ballerina while catching the falling berry juice with his mouth! Where have these delicable berries have been all his life? Thud also received his own laurel with gooseberries. Thud was having the time, not thinking about where the herd will be heading next. "Groovey…" He spins around with a smirk feeling epic.
The Rainbow Face didn't answer, all he said was "Tah-Tah!" Before leaving the small dinos and Longneck. "I wonder where she is?" The Rainbow Face muttered referring to his partner Rainbow Face.
"I don't know… Then again I don't think I know anything anymore." Hyp sighs with a facepalm. He suddenly stomps and shouts "Argh! I hate feeling so… so small!" He crosses his arms. Hyp has felt this way before, mostly when Littlefoot and friends go on adventures and save the day and what not while Hyp rarely has a clue of it until it's done and over.
"I see you both know each other..." Chomper said with an anime sweat drop. Hopefully this won't lead to one of Mr. Threehorn's arguments. He has seen mischief that has been caused in the past.
A mysterious bonehead dino emerges along with the rest of the legion with glowing yellow eyes... Unlike the others he seemed to be alive and living, but his breath is cold... He smirks to see RedCroc. The prohesized Skull Lord has finally emerged. He bows at the sight of the skull covered sharptooth.
-
"Yes, Chomper, we know each other", Mr. Threehorn grumbled. "They're Rainbow Faces. They act like they're smart, but they just fill your head with uselessness. I just saw her partner over there with Grandpa Longneck. The Rainbow face wouldn't stop talking about Yellowbellies."
-
Redbelly having given rides to many of yellowbellies sat beneath some palms and ate some raspberries. He watched with glee as Screech and Thud danced in berry festivies. Screech did a helicopter spin with his sickle claws cutting some of feathers on heads of yellowbellies, two of which made a design like mohawk and another lightning bolts. Screech landed and saw what he had done, and was embarrassed. The four yellowbellies paused and then giggled, other yellowbelliea beggedd Screech and Thud to cut their feathers into designs.
————————
Redskull (Redcroc) acknowledged the Bonehead’s bow and urged him to join their rank. Redskull shouted as his legions lined up, “Today the living will face the undead! Thise who have satiated themselves on decadence shall know decay! Tonight we make the Great Pass a Graveyard! Tonight the Great Valley shall be The Valley of the Shadow of Death!” The legions of skeletal fast biters cheered as their bones rattlled, there head bobbled and nearly popped off. Skullimimus and Barybonex joined Redskull on both sides. Skullimimus, “O Tyrant Master! We pledge ourselves to you!” Barybonex bowed but noticed a second jaw below the Tyrannosaur skull, one that eerly looked similiar to his own, but he said nothing for now.
-
Thud happily obliged and made fantastic feather designs of different kinds for each of the yellowbellies along with Screech.
"Please do me too!" Shouted Boogie as he bounced happily.
"Anything in particular?" Thud asked.
"Somthin' crazy!!" Boogie smiled!
Thud nodded and gave Boogie a trim with spaghetti like feathers all about!
"Now this, is me!" Boogie smilled giving the two raptors thank you hugs. "You two are awesome!" He smiled
Thud blushed embarrassingly but returns the hug.
The Bonehead merely smiled… He appears to be mute… However he knows that once he reaches the Valley, he can ensure life eternal!
-
Redbelly belly laughed at the feather cuts. He then rose and walked away a moment to get some water from the nearby stream. As he looked uo he saw a buzarre sight. A skeleton of a fastbiter lay by the river. Had it been there before? Redbelly stepped into the stream, his massive legs sinking like gisnt grey rocks. He crossed and with his snout and mouth full of bannana shaoed teeth took a deep wiff of the fossil. The smwll was putrid, which was odd. Oopah began calling out Redbelly’s name from a across the water, “Rdbelly! Redbelly! Come here! The time for the Great Berry Bonefire is now!” Redbelly turned from the skeleton and began maming his way across the water, the head of fossil fastbiter twitched.
-
Hyp climbs up the Great Valley wall the next morning sitting on the side. Just what did that Rainbow Face mean? He looked out to the valley and saw something that made him jump… Redclaw was charging straight towards the Valley… with an army of yellowbellies! "AAAAHH!!" Hyp screamed running back into the valley! "The yellow-" Hyp thought beofre changing his wording. "REDCLAW IS COMING!! HE IS HEADING TO THE VALLEY!!!" He yelled on the top of his Hypsilophodon lungs!
Thud couldn't believe what happened as he fleed. He never felt so horrified in his life. A miracle that he even got out with him and his new family intact.
Boogie also appeared scared. He tried to keep on a smile, but even that was hard after what he just saw!
-
Redbelly charged past Hyp with Foofah, Liopah, and Oopah in tow. Redbelly then stopped in the valley, turning back to see Screech who was spin kicking with his sickle claws at an erect fossil, a skeletonasaurus! It was like out of nightmare, and Redbelly knew he had to help despite the terror in his heart. He ran back, as the Yellowbellies swarmed past him, he then with his msssive jaws plucked the skeleton fast buter by the vertebrae and tossed hm. Screexh nodded when suddenly a Suchimimus of bones crashed into Redbelly. Screech let out a screech as he leapt on to boneheaded crocodile creature, but was tossed off. Foofah, Loopah, Oopah came to Redbelly. “Get back! Get help!” Said Redbelly. Oopah terrified asked, “what help?!” Redbelly pinned to the ground shouted, “any help!” Oopah took off with Foofah and Liopah looking around, when they spotted Mr. Spiketail, and Mr. Clubtail together talking. They ran up to them. Oopah, “please! Danger! Come help!”
-
Guido was enjoying some ground crawlers when he heard an unintelligible ruckus in the distance. "Hey, what's going on?" he wondered out loud. Suddenly aware of the fact that he was talking to himself, he sheepishly mumbled, "And why do I say that like I'm going to get an answer?"
"Perhaps the answers are closer than you think..." said a voice close behind him.
"WHOA!" Guido gasped, spinning around and realizing that the female Rainbow Face he'd seen the day before was standing right behind him.
Where had she come from? She'd mysteriously vanished soon after he and Chomper had met her yesterday, and now it appeared that she could show up just as quickly. Nothing like that to give a flyer the creeps.
"Phew," gasped Guido, getting his breath back. "You know, y-you'd be a little less startling if you said 'hello' or something first..."
"I can't give you the answer to your question," continued the Rainbow Face, "but I will say that perhaps the source of the commotion, once you discover it, will hold the answer to another question of yours."
"Another question of mine? What do you..." Then a possibility hit Guido. "You mean...where I belong?" he asked hopefully. "Where--how??" he stammered. He turned in the opposite direction, towards the noise in the distance. "Tell me what--"
But Guido hadn't even finished his sentence before he turned around and realized the Rainbow Face was, once again, gone.
Elsewhere in the Great Valley, Wild Arms quickly looked up from his tree star meal when he heard Hyp's shouts, fear striking his heart. "RUN!" he shouted, taking off across the valley in the hopes of finding someone to help. "Somebody, anybody--there's sharpteeth coming! HELP, HELP!" That was when he accidentally smacked right into another dinosaur and fell to the ground. When he sat up again, Wild Arms realized Chomper was that other dinosaur, and he cowered at the mere sight of the boy's pointed teeth, still in full panic mode.
Meanwhile, Cera ran up alongside Hyp. "Well, everyone's going to have to believe us now!" she said with a smirk.
-
Screech was tossed onto the air and rolls right before Hyp and Cera. He looked up at Cera, as if recognizing her. “You!” He said in an astonished yet in perfect leaf eater.
Redbelly was knocked against a tree, as the Skullimimus dug its skeletal jaws into the neck of Redbelly. Foofah, Loopah, and Oopah were lainching left over berries at the skull legions, but it had little effect.
Mr. Spiketail and Mr. Clubtail came charging, Spiketail tossed six of the skull biters into the air with his tail, and stomped on one on the ground. Clubtail seung his mace tail and hit five skullbiters that collapsed to the groubd like fossils in the rock.
Redskull emerged over the pass into the Great Valley. At last he entered the domain of his enemy, at last he woykd sieze victory over those who brought him shame. He commanded two more regiments of twenty skull bitters each to flank Redbelly. At last he would have revengr.
-
Grandpa Longneck heard Hyp yell "Redclaw", but was surprised not only to find Yellowbellies, but also, Sharpteeth talk.
Mr. Threehorn helped fight off the sharpteeth, but couldn't believe when he saw a Yellowbelly. Even more amazing it was talking to a sharptooth. This had to be the work of Rainbow Faces! Mr. Threehorn was determined to get to the bottom of this strange story, but had to focus on fighting Sharpteeth.
-
Hyp turned and saw the skeleton on top of Redclaw… And then back to Cera. “PRIORITIES CERA!! PRIORITIES!!” He screamed, shaking her in a panic! And then Screech fell next to them with Hyp jumping right on top of the poor Threehorn! “AAAAHH!!” Hyp has officially turned into Wild Arms… Speaking of Wild Arms.
“Wild Arms!! We got to hide! Red Claw is here with…” Chomper noticed the broken pile of bones that were tossed by Red Claw. “Bones?” The sight would normally scare Chomper as it would imply that Redclaw ate someone…. But those bones seemed to clean. Just then… "Thud?" Chomper see's Thud run past and he pounces onto the Skullimimus that was on Redbelly.
Boogie joins in and smashes himself against the monster to get him off of Redbelly. "Take that yah brute!"
The male Rainbow Face looks on at the chaos. He didn't foresee such odd sharpteeth. Hopefully he won't need to get involved as the leafeaters and Yellowbellied sharpteeth are fighting back well. Hopefully she is doing alright, he thought. Just then, skull bitter suprise attack. The Rainbow Face takes a deep breath and… ZAP He stabs at the bone creature with his claws that are sparking with sunlight-like energy that causes the skull biter to turn to ash… "Huh… Learning this special breathing comes quite handy…" He smirks (Sorry for the Jojo reference XD).
-
"Stop acting like a baby!" Cera grumbled in annoyance, though she would have been kidding herself if she said she wasn't a bit frightened of these strange new sharpteeth, too. "There's no time to run around like hatchlings, we gotta do something! Let's send these sharpteeth packing!"
--------
"Wait..." Wild Arms muttered as he laid eyes on the Skullimimus. "Th-th-th-they're skeletons?" As he began to feel woozy, his gaze rolled upward, and he teetered backwards.
--------
Guido was just seeing all the havoc for the first time, meanwhile. Gliding in on a lazy summer breeze, he realized this was a full-fledged battle. A full-fledged battle swarming with sharpteeth and, to his horror, living sharptooth bones. A full-fledged battle, that, as the wind picked up, he was headed right into...!
"No, no, I don't wanna go this way, wait!" Guido hopelessly hollered at the wayward breeze.
But it was no use. Fortunately, by some insane stroke of luck, he at least managed to drift right past a leaping skelesaur and land, instead, on the back of the yellowbelly named Boogie.
-
Redbelly thanks to Boogie was now able to maneuver and crack some nore bone heads. Redbelly stonped on two Bone Biters and tossed two more with his grey tail.
Two bone biters took ribs off their sides and began throwing them like boomerangs at Screech. Screech dodged and tried to leap with his sickle claw feet into them but the bonearangs came back and hit him from the back, sending the sapphire fast biter face dfirst i into the dust.
Redskull marched into the fray, he grabbed Mr. Clubtail by the tail and swing him into a large rovk. The ankylosaur crashed into the granite rock and was dizzy, falling on his side. Mr. Spiketail swooped his tail at Redskull, but the spike whip was partied by Redskull’s long claws and arms, which to the Spiketail seemed odd, how did this Skull Tyranosaur have more than two forked claws each? Redskull siezed the tail and pulled the Spiketail to him and slammed his skull head into the Stego’s head, instant knock out. Skullimimus came to his lord and said, “we have neutralized the blue fast biter milord!” Redskull cackled, “Good! Where is Redclaw?” The Akyll spine of the Suchimimus swayed in the wind, “He is by the treeline with feather creatures.” Redskull scrapped his claws together making sparks. “At last.. I shall have revenge!”
-
Thud grins now that Redbelly has the advantage. However he turns and is horrified to see Screech K.O.ed in front of two bone biters! “Screech!” He runs over not sure if he can make it. Especially with there being two to deal with.
Just then Chomper intervenes, giving a powerful kangaroo kick to one of the bone biters. “Now Thud!”
Thud smirks and takes this opportunity to deal a massive tail whip to the other bone biter!
“Oo-okay…” Hyp said to Cera scared out his mind. He dealt with sharpteeth before, specifically fast biters, so he thinks he can help somehow. These skeleton sharpteeth can’t be so different, right? He takes a deep breath and tightens his fists. “How about lay out some interference for the big sharpteeth to help the grown ups?” Hyp suggested trying to remain calm. “Anything like a trip vine could work?”
“Hello there!” :PCera Boogie shouted to Guido, smiling as he break dance attacks the skeleton dinos surrounding him.
-
"It's always worked before!" said Cera. "Let's do it! I'll go collect some vines. You go see if you can find anyone else around here to help us in the fight!" She ran off into the forest before Hyp even had the chance to respond.
--------
Wild Arms was dazzled by the attack Chomper just pulled off. "Way to go!" he cheered. He picked up a couple of nearby bushes and danced around energetically as he shook them back and forth. Hey, weirder things had happened, right?
--------
Guido was still trying to process what had just happened. "Hi...uh...nice moves?" he replied uncertainly. "Hey, I-I'm Guido, and I'd usually apologize about the crash, but now I'm too busy wondering WHY I JUST FLEW RIGHT INTO A BATTLE!" he shouted hysterically. "That Rainbow Nose didn't have a clue what she was saying!" he screamed as he saw the bone biters surrounding him. He clung to Boogie's neck, shaking like a leaf.
-
Mr. Threehorn saw a Yellowbelly. It was just liked Hyp described them. What Mr. Threehorn couldn't tell yet was who side they were on. Sharpteeth or leaf eaters?
Grandpa Longneck saw Hyp and Cera very close to all the chaos.
He said to them," Kids, what are you doing so close to the sharpteeth? Please go home and let the grown ups take care of this."
-
Redbelly charged through a retinue of bone heads, when he saw Redakull and Skullimimus coming towards him. Redbelly let out a roar and raced towards them.
Redskull seeing his archenemy cackled, “At last! Now we two shall have pur final dance.” Skyllmimus lunged and sung his crocsike jaws into Redbelly’s neckline, the Turannosaur let out a groan, but twisted and released the pressure. Redakull rammed Resbelly with bis skull mask, causing Redbelly to fall backward. Skullimimus pinned Redbelly with long claws and went for the neck. Screech came charging over the hill towards their position, he leapt on to Skullmimus’s head and tore at his boney head. Redbelly rose, limping, he faced Redakull.
“You have made many friends since you werecoitcasted Redclaw.” Redbelly looked at the Tyranoskull with quizzical look. He recognized the voice. “Now I shall finish what the Council should have done.” Redbelly groaned, “Who are you?” Redskull cackled, “I am your superior! I am the one who shall rule all sharpteeth both living and undead!” Redbelly stood his body shaking involuntarily, his leg was badly wounded, and he was having trouble supporting his weight.
Screech was shook off Skullimimus head and into a nearby tree. Screech slid down thectrink, the wind lnocked out of him. He saw Redbelly in bad shape, so he gave a high pitched call that Thud would recognize as a call for help.
-
"Sorry! But I want to help!" Hyp exclaimed back to the longneck. "We're gonna make a trap vine for that big skeleton so ! We saved you guys before, didn't we?" Hyp raised a eyebrow awaiting the longneck's response.
"He makes a good point." The male Rainbow Face shows up. (Would it be fine to refer to him as Vega because of the other RP? XD)
"YOU!?" Hyp glares at the Rainbow Face.
"You needed help, and I am willing to assist. Considering the Skullimimus, or skulltooth is made with bone and lacks support. A good trip wi-vine is an absolutely perfect idea!" He suggested to the longneck.
Hyp smiles to see that he is on his side.
