Previously on For the Stone or For Friendship:
After holding a small grudge towards Zaine in regards to Littlefoot and Longtail taken hostage, Cera, Cyrix, and the others in the group forgave the little longneck and agreed to help him find their friends and find the stone. Unfortunately, Ozzy and Strut had gotten far from the group, so Zaine had no idea where they would be. He decided to split the group in two to save time. One group, led by Chomper, headed in Ozzy and Strut's direction to save Littlefoot and Longtail. Zaine took the others and continued the search for the Stone of Cold Fire.
Chomper's group made haste until they found the egg eaters. After a small fight, Ozzy and Strut fled the area and Littlefoot and Longtail were saved. Meanwhile, Zaine and his group were having a difficult time trying to cross a fast moving river. While they pondered on what to do, Zaine was ambushed by Ozzy and Strut, who decided the only way to get the stone first was to get rid of the little longneck for good. Ozzy seemingly killed Zaine and the two left him for dead; however, Zaine was holding on to a slim thread of life but unable to move. Luckily, his friends arrived just in time to save him from death. Unfortunately, Zaine sustained heavy injuries, and the group decided to stop and let Zaine's wounds heal before they continued their journey.
Now, in part 3 :
Zaine's wounds have healed, however he still has trouble walking perfectly. Despite limping, he won't let it stop him and his friends from reaching the Stone of Cold Fire before Ozzy and Strut do. The group continued on their journey, but their path led them right into the Mysterious Beyond, a hellish nightmare for any dinosaur who accidentally loses his/her way. Luckily, Chomper offered to take them to his parents, who promised to protect Littlefoot and any of his friends after their last encounter on the Mysterious Island. Some of the group feel discomfort having never dealt with Chomper's parents before; however, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, and Petrie retain confidence that they can help.
Meanwhile, Ozzy and Strut have now entered the Mysterious Beyond. Unfortunately, the two egg eaters are on the wrong path. After losing much time crossing the fast river, they got lost in the vast darkness of the land. To make matters worse, they ran straight into a pack of sharpteeth, who are now chasing them.
