Chapter 2.
_________________________________________________________________
The new sharptooth growled lowly as he began to wake. "Where am I" Fang whispered to himself as he slowly opened his eyes only to meet those of some juvenile longneck.
"I think he's waking up" the longneck said to someone next to him. After a few seconds Fang had come to his senses and quickly jumped to his feet, snarling at the longneck who gave a scream in response. As Fang was about to pounce on the longneck a juvenile sharptooth placed himself between Fang and the longneck.
"Chomper, it's you" he said in sharptooth tongue.
"Who are you, and how do you know me?" Chomper asked in sharptooth tongue.
"Chomper I'm heartbroken, don't tell me you forgot your close friend Fang" Fang answered with some sarcasm in the first bit.
"Fang?" Chomper questioned as he tried to remember this name.
"Yes, don't you remember that day Redclaw attacked and we were separated?" Fang asked hoping his friend would remember. Chomper pondered harder until it all came back to him.
(flashback)
Two baby sharpteeth were playing near a smoking mountain in the mysterious beyond, but they did not realize that they were being watched.
"Grrrrr Look at me I'm Redclaw!" Chomper said as he approached his friend.
"Oh no, please don't hurt me" Fang said full of sarcasm as he pretended to run from Chomper. The two little bitters shared a good laugh after that.
"Hey, have you ever been chased by Redclaw? I haven't" Chomper asked Fang.
"Yup, I've met that scavenger more times than I would like" Fang replied.
"Wow, what did you do to get away?" Chomper said, aw-struck that his friend had escaped from Redclaw.
"Well you know me, I scared him away" Fang said with his head held high.
"Huh, yah right" Chomper replied not believing what Fang just said.
"Yah, I am right" Fang said with a smirk on his face which made Chomper laugh a little "OK now it's my turn to be Redclaw" Fang said. He opened his mouth to roar and just as he did so a thunderous roar was heard.
"Wow, nice one" Chomper commented to his friend.
"Um, Chomper, that wasn't me" Fang said with a worried tone of voice.
"Then, who was it?" Chomper asked with an equally worried tone. Just them the roar was heard again and Redclaw was seen charging from the horizon.
"REDCLAW!" both of them shouted after seeing him. As they turned to run Screech and Thud jumped in front of them, blocking their path. Fang turned around and saw Redclaw approaching at an alarming speed.
"We have to get to the smoking mountain, we can hide in some caves there" Fang said to Chomper in an alarmed tone. "Now!" Fang shouted to Chomper as he used his tail to throw a rock that hit Thud right in the eye and while he and Creech were distracted Fang and Chomper made a run for it. The two young sharpteeth ran as fast as they could and were making good progress towards the smoking mountain which actually wasn't that far away, a quick glance back and Chomper realized that Redclaw and his goons were making good progress towards then as well.
'Just a little further' he thought and just as it seemed Redclaw was going to get them the two young sharpteeth dove into a cave which was too small for the three other sharpteeth.
"We're safe" Chomper panted. "We should keep moving as far away from those three as possible" he said walking further into the cave as Fang followed. The two wondered through the cave searching for and exit.
"Look, light!" fang shouted pointing toward a small light at the end of a tunnel. The two of them ran down the tunnel and into the light. Suddenly Fang can to an abrupt stop which caused Chomper to run into him.
"What was that for?" Chomper shouted rubbing his head.
"I think I just saved your life" fang said pointing to a huge gorge. "Let's go take a closer look" Fang said as he slowly walked to the edge.
"Yah you do that I'll just stay here where it's safe" Chomper replied sitting on a rock. Suddenly a loud roar was heard "Oh no" Chomper said turning towards the direction it came from. Fang also looked for the source of the roar. Looking to their left they could see Redclaw approaching.
"Let's go!" fang shouted as the two of them ran the other only to be blocked by Screech and Thud. They were trapped and Redclaw was closing in, before they realized Redclaw was right above them. Redclaw brought his head down, mouth wide open towards them. The two young sharpteeth were luckily able to jump out of the way, but unfortunately the force of Redclaw's head hitting the ground caused a crack in the ground which went all the way to the edge where they were standing and caused the ground under their feet to crumble.
Both little bitter screamed as the plummeted to the river at the bottom of the gorge. Luckily for them the drop wasn't too tall and the river was deep so the landing wasn't too bad but them they had to deal with the rapids. The two sharpteeth were being thrown all over the river. After a few seconds the rapids began to clam, Chomper and Fang were able to look each other straight in the eye, both looked forward and realized than the river divided into two parts. They tried to swim towards each other but it was too late, they had been separated and continued to be pulled miles away from each other.

"Now I remember you, we were separated and the fast water, and then I met Ruby" Chomper said giving his friend a smile.
'Yes, now, why are you hogging that longneck hmm, you want it all for yourself" Fang said licking his jaws.
"He's my friend and so are they" Chomper replied pointing to all the others with afterwards.
"I see, being the nice sharptooth, and do you speak flattooth" Fang said with his hand on his lower jaw as if he were trying to solve a riddle.
"Yup" Chomper replied with a grin. "Hey guys this is my friend Fang" Chomper said in flattooth tongue.
"Pleasure to meet you" Fang said in flattooth tongue. All the others including Chomper were amazed.
"You speak flattooth too" Chomper said with a big smile.
"Yah, it's always good to know more than one language" Fang said. "So what are your names?" Fang asked Chomper's friends.
"I'm Littlefoot, this is Cera, that's Spike, Ducky, Petrie and Ruby" Little said as he introduced himself and his friends.
"Nice to meet you" Ruby said sticking her hand out for a handshake.
"The pleasure is all mine" Fang said as he kissed Ruby on the hand and gave a smirk.
"Oh, a charmer" Ruby said with a slight blush.
"Hey Chomper while I'm here why don't I show you some old friends of ours?" Fang asked with a slight smirk.
"Well ok I guess" Chomper said not being able to remember any friends from beyond the Great Valley.
"Alright, follow me" Fang said as he walked to a opening in the Great Valley wall but to small for any large sharptooth to enter. At the gap he looked around and then let out a loud roar.
"What was that for?" Cera shouted
"Their coming" Fang said as two roars where heard.
