Here's one of my ideas.
Tricia wanders into the Mysterious Beyond. Naturally, the others chase after her. Just as Tricia is about to fall to her death from a canyon, Pterano rescues her. After some acquainting (in the case of Ruby, Chomper, and the very thankful Tricia) and re-acquainting, Pterano says that he is not afraid of Red Claw...and of course, some of them don't believe him. And then Red Claw comes along. Pterano does manage to save everyone this time, and once Red Claw is gone, Pterano acts as if he was scared of Red Claw. He tells them that he wasn't scared of Red Claw personally, but that he was afraid of what Red Claw would do to the children if he wasn't there to protect them. And the moral is "Just because you're not scared for yourself, it doesn't mean you can't be scared for someone else." And a ridiculous song follows.
