"Personally Log January 21st 2011. It been just over 7 months since the discovery of this landmass. It was classed as the Discovery of the Centery for all good reasons. But yet only the New World Alliance knows of such at thing. *person standing by a window looking out to a valley of lash green and water flowing into it from the lands beyond its walls* With the completation of Cliff Base Delta at Smoking Mountian, a name that choicen by the research team since simple names make sense here. The team within that base will start to learn of new discoverys on the way the beings live in this peaceful land, yet the question goes to this *place a hand on a strange looking device* discovered at the time of the Era of Melting and half the world lost to the New World Alliance after sruggling so long this device seem Alien and held this world... this undiscoveryed island from within the lights of time and space, frozen within.
We learned so much from the past then ever thought before... a discovery we still learning, but are we pushing to far into this world, hiding within the mountians, under it and hidden with us watching to learn and placing all these cameras... it only a matter of time they will understand what these are... how much time do we have left till our leaders push it too far that contact with these Dinosaurs will happen? All I can say time will tell... time will tell... *Man reach for a device in his pocket and lifts it up* Professor Elm... ending log" Professor press the button and the log ends with him watching a bunch of young dinosaurs in the mid sun playing the lash green valley on a set of screens in his office. "Time will tell..."
-
"Professor Elm please come to GV Main entrance, there are new personally" a voice over the intercom spoke.
the Professor was about 6ft 3 wearing a white coat with black trousers and black shoes, with brown hair and pinkish skin he walks out of his office down the corridor till he arrived at the Underground Train Station. "Professor, these are the new stuff, they arrived yesturday and Clifsea Harbour" Jack the personally officer spoke. "Well I leave them in your hands sir, I better get back to the Harbour"
"Yes and thank you" Professor Elm watch him get on the train and the doors close with it slowly departing from the station then he turn to the new stuff "Hello and welcome to Great Valley Cliff Alpha. We call this place GV Base for short. I am Professor Elm, incharge of this base. May I have your names please and where you'll be placed"
(this is where some of your personally human charcaters kick in guys)
-
One of the figures, a young man of about 19, clean-shaven and wearing his long, black hair in a ponytail, snapped a salute at the Professor.
"Sir! Shane Albion, reporting! Assigned to security duty as of January 21, sir!"
He said, his long black coat snapping sharply as he did so. He was an odd-looking choice, his outfit of a black long coat, black pants with a skull design on the right knee, and his black, button-down shirt, left open over his skull-print undershirt making him look more like a street punk than anything else...
-
'Vylor and Argaya reporting for genetic and psychological analysis and evaluation. We are at the genetic lab and psychology room, respectively, sir.' Said the brother and sister simultaneously. They were both 25, six foot ten, seemingly thin, and appeared to be non-human. This was only because of their pointed ears, which was a result of plastic surgery. Vylor had deep blue eyes and short black hair. Argaya, however, had long black hair and bright green eyes. Both were in lab coats, but they preferred tunics and more elvish clothing. Both of them were actually well-built physically, and had an IQ of around 190.
-
A middle aged gentleman wearing a generals uniform walked up to the group. "Professer Elm the security reports have been filed,' said frank with a german accent saluting the professer. His eyes shifted to the young man in the black coat. He muttered to himself in geman "kids these days'. He brushed his grey hair out of his eyes.
-
A young man came running up behind the group and after coming to a stop, tried to catch his breath before speaking. "Sorry Professor, Ricktor Landon reporting sir!" he then pushed his black tinted sunglasses further up on his nose and looked around wondering what this was all about.
-
"Thank you Frank" Professor then turn to the group. "It seems all your ID checked out" Professor Elm said looking at the device in his left hand looking at the screen. Then he look back at them "Tomorrow morning I will show you each to your stations but as for the moment you all be asked to stay clear of vitual areas of the base, so with these bases, they will allow you into your own rooms and access to lvl 1 areas only. Nothing higher till tomorrow when I will give you all your clearance levels in the breifing before your term of duties begin."
Professor Elm hands them their passes. "Best to not lose them or you will not be able to get around. We take our secerity very serious around here specially being the closest to the largest number of herbovuer Dinosaurs in which we call the Great Valley. A simple but affective name that was chosen"
A lady comes up to them "Ah Lisa, please show them to their rooms, I have a few things to talk to Frank about" then he leaves with Frank.
Lisa turn to the others, she hand ginger hair with brown eyes and a uniform on with a symbol of the base on it and the bandge shows the words over it Head of security. "PLease follow me"
-
As Frank walked with Professer Elm he asked "So what is it that you wanted to talk about'.
-
"These children we been watching... they seem to getting quite wise, they are alot brighter then the Adult dinosaurs and these adventures they keep having has put them closer and closer to our bases. Last one put them only 0.3 miles away which is very close" Professor Elm said showing Frank the images that was captured on his handheld device.
-
"This is getting serious we shoulkd start thinking about what will we do if they do get in the base,' said frank. "We just have to be ready cause one of these days they will find a way in,' added frank.
-
"But there something else, they was close enough to mics to catch them breathing but that wasn't the thing that caught me off. I haven't showed anyone this but watch and listen" Professor Elm gets Frank into a room alone a plays it on his handheld device and the sound and image was good and they listened to the dinosaurs.
"From this one recording I have one name... this longnecked one is called Littlefoot and seem to be the brightest out of the lot, being more of a thinker from what we obversoed" Professor Elm said after the recording finish playing.
----
Lisa leads them down another floor where they come to a corridor with a hall and set of doors "This is Block Melter, this will be your block, each of you have your own rooms." Lisa said to them "Each will have your name on the front of the door and your passes will open them."
-
Shane smiled, acknowledging Lisa with a nod before saying...
"Thanks ma'm. It's an honor to be working here."
He then turned his attention to Ricktor
"Long time, no see, Ricktor! How's it going?"
He asked, grinning...
-
Frank rubbed his chin "Hmm interesting,' he said. "So what is our next move,asked frank. He looked at the tail he had gained from his experiements in the 80's.
-
Ricktor turned to face Shane and replied "I've been fine. But I would like to know what our job will be. I'm getting nervous not being told anything." He then turned to Lisa and said "Thank you ma'am."
Ricktor then turned back to Shane and said "Bet my room looks better than yours does!"
-
A young man bearing two big bags in each hand came walking against Elm and the others. The bags must've been heavy, cause the man's hair was all sweaty.
He had average long, dark brown hair and a newly grown mustache, his eyes were blue.
He wore a thin white shirt and a pair of rough, worn out jeans.
He also wore a small dogtag around his neck, and if anyone had been close enough, they would've been able to tell his name.
His name was Evan Tyler, he had just grown to an age of 22, and this was his first real excavation.
Despite his young age, Evan had taken many degrees in bilology and animal behaviour, an top of that, he was talented in the learnings of the prehistoric.
Now he had come here, hoping to help out. And, what he hoped, get to see dinosaurs.
He stoped and looked around, his eyes wandered trough the camp, and then his eyes stoped at Prof.Elm.
He began walking against him, calling: "Ah, Prof.Elm! I'm..."
He didn't finish his sentence, cause the other second he was lying with his face on the ground, and all his lugage were out of their bags, all spread out.
"Damn it..." he murmured, rose up and wiped away some mud with his hands.
He bent down and started to pick up his stuff again.
-
Professor Elm helped him up "Well welcome, strange way of what just happened but I believe your suppose to be in Melter Block with the other new work force." Elm then sees two men coming by "Men, could you help this young lad out to find his way to the Melter Block and to help him with his unusally big lugguage, if it too heavy get the trolley from stock room 9"
"Oh and Evan Tyler, I will be breifing you directly after the others been briefed so your to not join them at first. your areas of expertise are quite valuable to this point. See you tomorrow" Professor Elm and Frank carried on walking away and the two men helped him carry his stuff and soon arrive at Melter Block.
---
Professor Elm turn to Frank "I would suggest sending out Startor, she the best in getting very close to these dinosaurs without being spotted, she was a ex-spy for the UN when it was around, and being 39 haven't slowed her a bit, if I remember right she stays at Melter Block" Professor said to Frank. "I will ask her tomorrow to see if she'd help, in the end if she says no I can't do anything since she more as a special guest then part of the work force"
----
Lisa was about to speak when the door opens and a mid adult lady comes out with a black leather jacket and black leather trousers came out of her room with black boots and black cap, her hair being dark brown and her eyes blue in colour. "Lisa, leave the rest to me, I'll finish up for you girl"
"Yes of course Startor" Lisa smiled then leaves walking past Evan Tyler and two men carrying his stuff "That must be the exarmy officer i heard about that could help professor Elm out in the studys of these dinosaurs" she whispers then walks on.
"Right, first things, all rooms are the same, there is no differences till you make it your own in personlizing it whatever way you like, but you'll have to keep it clean, if you don't well I make sure you'll run 5 laps around this block, I been here since the project begain 6 months ago and I won't stand for mess in this Block. As for why I am here it none of your business." Startor said to them with a power in her voice sounding very serious.
-
Shane snapped a short salute, responding...
"Understood Ma'm! I will comply!"
Before he opened the door to his room and stepped inside...
-
"Alright,' said frank. "Is that all you wanted to talk to me about' asked frank.
-
"I did manage to get this" they arrive at the Professor's office and Elm gets out a bottle "2001 this was made in, only 1 of 9 bottles left in the world, since the project it a massive sccess I thought we should toast for it"
---
"This isn't the army..." Startor sighed
-
"I'll drink to that,' chuckled frank.
-
"You'll all from what I know of have the day to tomorrow morning off. So you can visit the Dome Eden Gardens, cafe, chill room or games room, whatever you wish to do after you put your stuff away." Startor said to them
-
Ricktor nodded in reply and stepped into his own room and marveled at all the space that he had. "This is going to be great." he said aloud to himself.
-
Evan walked in the middle with the two muscular men beside him.
"Oh, that's not really neccesary gentlemen, let me take these..."
He reached out to grab one of his bags, but moved back as the man kept it away from him, saying nothing.
"... whatever you say..." Evan mumbled.
"Thanks then."
They kept walking, Evan could feel the bright sun shine on him. He was very glad that he was dressed up as he was, he felt sad for the two men beside him.
Must be hot in that outfit...! he thought silently for himself.
He stoped. His heart fellt like it had jumped out of his mouth.
He looked out over a lushy area. He could swear he had seen something.
He didn't finish, cause suddenly a strong hand grabed his shoulder hand pulled him out of the place as if he had been light as a feather!
The same men that carried his lugage looked straight at him from above, with very serious faces.
Evan feelt like a bug compared to them.
"...Eh... hi! Shall.. we go?"
He said and pointed at a random direction.
"So where is this Melter Block anyway?"
"Will I meet with others there?"
-
"If you opened that hatch you would of been sent straight to the Brig for Vilotation of Rule 19A." they stood by the windows that was shaped to look like rocks and appear to be rocks on the otherside of the glass. "The Hatch may not be opened part from all opens of a emergency are exspired and used as a emergency exit. If it opened other then so, the person will be sent to the Brig and kept on guard till they are trusted by the leading officer can be regained as they serve their work period" one of the men explained
"So it a good thing we have a kind heart and warned you and stopped you" the second one finished. "Now follow us and don't stray"
-
Evan nooded silently.
"I see... Thanks alot then gentlemen..."
He started to walk after the men, and cast a last sight out in the lush.
Whatever was there, it was gone now.
He shook his shoulders, then kept walking.
He felt that he could trust these big men.
"...So, what your name and why're you here?
He said and looked from the first to the other.
-
an guy came into the room, it was a engineer, it was cesar, an hispanic guy with black hair and a little stache he escaped mexico to find a better home, he asked to prof, elm: boss... the machines are ready, should we activate the machine? or must we wait longer? just like the last 15 times?
-
Vylor stepped into the professor's office. "Professor, we finished checking the equient in the labs. It is all fully functional. So is the security system. I'll be in the game room if you need me. My sister is already there setting up a machine that we personally brought." He then left the office.
-
Frank finished his drink. "Ah that's the stuff,' he said. "Well it seems you and ceasar have a lot to talk so will that be all for now,' asked frank.
-
Shane looked around his living quarters. He had already finished with decoration, as he didn't have much important to him. Living as a refugee and soldier did that to a person. However, he did have a pair of photos resting on his desk. One was of him as a child, with his parents and a pet, smiling at the camera, and the other... It was a photo of him and Ricktor, taken the day before his life had been changed forever.
"There. All finished. Now then, I guess I'll go check out the game room, just to kill some time."
He said, slinging his coat back on and heading down the hall...
-
Ricktor was already one step ahead of Shane and was in the game room playing one of his favorites games: House of the Dead 2. He smiled as he put the final shot into the last boss fight and shouted "Oh YEAH!!!! And look at that...got the high score to boot! YES!!! I am good!" He inserted his initals and stepped back and checked his watch.
"Wow...still way too much time for me...I'm getting pretty hungry." However just as he was about to turn to leave a familiar music score caught his ear and he immediately turned to see the classic Star Wars arcade game a few feet away. "And how sweet it is!" as he walked over.
-
"Yes, see you tomorrow at the Briefing" Professor Elm replied then look to Ceaser as Frank leaves "You may run a controlled test tomorrow Noon, a short test, I am just not confertable with us using Alien technology to create this machine. So I will go with a controlled test. Explain to me what this will do. the details in the papers are not telling me everything" Elm said and asked for details.
-
'gives command to start machines thruogh radio'
alright boss guy, the machines are briefly running, but what do you guys want with this frozen dino's?
-
"I said tomorrow!" he takes the radio "Shut down the machines till I give the ok tomorrow." Elm then puts the radio down. "I am in charge of this base! And you don't under mind what i say, next time you do, your transfered straight back to the Harbour, as for the frozen dinos, it Class 9 clearance information. I can not tell you much all I am saying is that the machine might be able to unfreeze them from time. Since it was the only two we found of their kind on this land mass" Elm then gets up.
He hands the radio back to him "Now do as I say and do not power up the machine till we are ready tomorrow to run a controled test. If I find out it online before hand I will personally deal with you" Elm said in a serious tone.
-
Frank entered his room and rushed to get the cinnanmon rolls he was baking out of the oven. The sweet smell drifted throughout the base. He took a moment to look at all the pictures on the wall one picture portrayed a younger Frank with four other men all standing shoulder to shoulder in front of a P-51 smiling. He smiled and sighed "those were the days,' he said silently to himself. "Well I think I'll go the the game room," said frank. He got his flight suit on and a helmet with a picture of a raptor on it with the words "RAPTOR"in bold black letters. He brought the cinnanmon rolls he just cooked and began walking to the flight sim area of the game room.
-
Shane was standing in front of a motion boxing game, easily beating round after round.
"Heh. This is easy. Nice to know I've still got my touch!"
He finished as he sent a spinning punch into the opponent's face to beat the game.
"Aaaand...I got the high score! Cool."
He said, entering his initials into the machine.
Just as he finished the entry, he smelled the Cinnamon rolls that Frank had made, and turned to face the door...
-
Ricktor was trying to figure out what level he should start on, when a scent caught his attention. "Mmm...Cinnamon buns..." he croacked. He walked towards the door, noting the smell was coming from the hallway and he smiled as he saw Shane. He waved and called out "Hey, you still got that high score right? Cause you remember our little bet."
-
Lisa had seen the new stuff working around the areas that they allowed in, then she stops by a door putting her card in the door opens to show a lift and walks into it and then push the top floor button, the lift doors close and soon it arrives at the top floor, she walked out of it and light shined into the place, it was a tower created to look like rock from the outside but on the inside people to take a look at the Great Valley from up high on the wall.
Lisa walked up the steps away from the lift and stood by a telescope that was designed to get a good view of the land alot closer up. "Now what are the kids up to" she checked the location of the Valley on a set of screens move the scope into place and looked right into the lens and she could see 7 little dinosaurs playing then lift her head "I still don't understand how a little T-Rex could be friends with these others" Lisa then look back at the lens watching. "I understand after 2 months why this is Level 9 clearance to come up here" she whispered and continued to watch.
-
(OOC: Is that the cue for folks to bring in the gang and rp them, or are you just posing?)
-
(you can if you wish)
-
Frank walked into the room and put half of the rolls on a plate and put it on the table in the middle of the room. 'Get your cinnamon rolls here,' said frank. He continued to door that said FLIGHT SIM ROOM. and he went into the room closing the door. In the room were several aircraft on flight sim stands ranging from Spitfires to F-22's.
-
"Thanks, Frank."
Shane said, grabbing a cinnamon roll and taking a bite...
"Mmm. These are really good!"
He looked at Ricktor, then indicated the House of the Dead 4 machine with his thumb.
"Up for a game?"
He asked, grinning...
-
Ducky looked at Petrie, while relaxing, having finished a leaf a short time ago, "And that was when I splashed her." Ducky said, giggling a bit as she finished her story. Petrie joined in her giggling from the rock where he was.
"That funny." Petrie said,
-
while eating his lunch, cesar was thinking: dang! i didn't heared boss guy saying tommorow, and he almost killed me! but what is the weirdest of all, what do he want with a block ice?
question: could cesar be killed? like shot by one of the profs when he heared too much about the project?
-
Vylor decided to relax and go to the game room. His sister was already there, finishing up the modified Dance Dance Revolution machine. "Okay bro, the machine is set. I changed the screen with a projector and put in the new computer. We should be okay now." Argaya said.
-
Frank set a P-51 sim to computer control before hopping into a ME-262 sim. "Outside viewing on,' said frank who hit a switch on the wall a large TV came into view from the game room the words Computer duel appeared. Frank hopped into the ME-262 sim and closed the canopy. "Ok now lets's get this on,' said frank who hit the start button. Through the cockpit of the sim frank scaned the skies for hi opponent suddanly he spotted a shiney object siving in from 5 O'clock high. he turned into his opponent and the duel began.
-
(this isn't some heard too much death plot... they have hardly enough good people as it is in the New World Alliance. so killing someone for hearing too much isn't acceptable, they just work around it if needed that give those a high clearance.)
Littlefoot laughed as well then sat down by the water "that funny Ducky, now that we've had something to eat why don't we play a game before our folks call us in for the night" Littlefoot suggested.
-
As frank battled his computer nemises he looked down at his watch and counted silently to himeself "Three,two,one' and at that moment the right engine failed. "Right on time,' he said. He saw that the Mustang was right behind. "I see you,' he said to himself slam the air brake to full while struggling to control the plane. He saw the other plane slip in front of him as he powered back to normal at let loose his plane's armament downing the other plane. "Heh I just keep getting good with age,' he chuckled to himself. After exiting the plane he walked into the gameroom and asked "Anyone want to play a few rounds'.
-
"Me agree, but what game?" Petrie asked nodding enthusiastically.
Ducky nodded, "What game shall we play, hmm." Ducky said then though for a moment of the various types that she and the others liked to play.
-
Lisa carried on watching them "I wonder what they talking about. Wish it was easier to read lips of a dinosaurs like I can with people" Lisa muttered as she continued watching
----
"How about you guys, any ideas?" Littlefoot asked the others.
-
Ducky thought for a moment, "We can play either the toss the tree seed or swimmer and splasher. If we play the hide game it may get hard to see once the bright circle goes down." Ducky said.
"Me no care what we play." He said.
-
just take something! cera said,
-
Evan was standing in front of what would be his bed for the coming future.
He sighed, tossed his lugage on the bed, and began to unpack it.
He took up his journals and notebooks, knowing for sure that he would gonna use them, and placed them on a nightboard.
Clothes in a drawer, shoes at the entrance, nothing special, just packing up.
When he was done, he sank down on the floor and started to sketch in his sketchbook. But he lacked fantasy for the time being, so he left it for later.
Then he remembered. He got up, grabbed his sidepack and put on his glasses, and stepped out.
Prof. Elm said he wanted to meet me later... didn't he? he thought and walked of in a random direction. The sun was warming against his shoulders, he was once again gratefull for his outfit, but he stopped anyway and pulled up his jeans above the knees, making them a pair of shorts.
I gotta need a map for this place...
He could hear laughter and yelling from the other side of the camp.
Having no better idea, he decided to walk in that direction.
-
(you know guys part from the camo windows there is no access outside the base other then the train leading to other inside closed sturctures within rock faces. This complex has only 3 emerengcy exits to the Great Valley that only used at last result if nothing else can be done. Most of the complex has air condisition systems that keep it cool. The areas the people staying at as window views of the Great Valley about 20 feet up the Great Wall. just to let you know, any other questions let me know)
Littlefoot turn to Cera. "If your in a hurry you pick, I am sure you've got a good one in mind"
----
Evan suddenly had to move to the side when eight men and women was pulling along a huge metal container "Mind it sir, we have to get this into Cargo bay 7. You'll know more tomorrow, trust me this is something the professor will not keep quiet to all the stuff" the man said and goes on helping the others pushing the large metal container.
-
cera to littlefoot: no i haven't,
-
Evan remained on the spot for a couple of seconds, watching the squad with the container.
He then turned around and continued to walk, but didn't know where.
Maybe I should ask someone... That Lisa seemed to be very familar with most things around here... he thought.
But didn't Prof.Elm told me that we would meet later on?
And that i shouldn't meet with anyone before that?
...
He sighed, and turned back to where he came from.
Back, he grabbed his notebook, jumped into the bed, turned it on and started his daily journal....
Day 1 LOG
Arrived to the camp, got to meet with Prof. Elm, if only for a couple of seconds before I was carried away to this bed I'm lying in. =)
I haven't meet anyone else yet, the information I got told me that I wouldn't be alone, but we'll see about that later.
I almost got overuned by a large container, and on top of that I managed to drop all my lugage onto the ground. I'll have to clean em' later on... /laughs*
It's been some years since I got back from the army... and all I've done afterwards is studying... I got pretty good, and I guess that my talents somehow reached the head of this extraordinary project, Prof.Elm.
I don't know for sure, but when I heard about the invatation to come here, I said yes immediatly. It's an honuor!
I hope that I can be of some help, appearently that's what Prof.Elm belives, what else would making him have me here?
....Time will tell? Isn't that what they say? I guess I have to wait then.
END LOG
Evan closed his notebook.
He looked up to the roof, closed his eyes and, without attempting to, fell asleep.
--------------------------------------------------------
What about a fun game that everyone think's fun! Ruby said.
-
"If we play the tree seed toss we'll need to be sure we use one Spike will not eat, we do." Ducky said remembering the last one they had used.
"Me remember." Petrie said remembering the last one, they had been playing and Spike swallowed it as it was falling to the ground towards him after they had been playing for a while.
(ooc: I don't recall a lot of the games the kids play in the movies & episodes.)
-
"How about seed tossing? by the entrance to the hidden Valley use to be" Littlefoot suggested "Our seed tossing goals are still there"
---
Lisa continued to watch them when Pro. Elm came up behind her "Watching the little kiddos again?"
"Yes" Lisa raised her head and looked over to Elm "I am trying to lip read them, it quite hard but I think I am getting to know what they saying, if I am correct they talking about playing a game. Seed Tossing"
"Seed Tossing? I seen something like that, if I am not mistaken on one of our footages they play that at the location of a valley entrance that been blocked god knows how long. they played there more the once" Elm replied. "Why don't we go to the Central command room and watch them play"
"fair enough by me" Lisa smirked and both entered the lift it going back down
-
"I guess no one wants to challenge me,' said Frank. Frank headed back to his quaters. "Now then let's see what tonight's movie is Ah The Great Escape a truely great movie,' said frank.
-
"That sounds like a good idea, it does, yep, yep, yep." Ducky said.
"We use seed Spike no eat?" Petrie asked, not wanting their game to end suddenly should Spike eat the seed.
-
"DOn't worry we will find one that Spike won't eat" Littlefoot laughed.
-
Evan woke up.
He rubbed his face with his hands, put on his glasses and sidepack and went out.
Now he really wanted to meet with someone, he walked back to where he first met Prof. Elm and dropped his lugage.
---------------------------------------------
"Seed Tossing sounds great! But if where gonna go, then let's go!" Ruby said and stood up.
-
cera: hey guys did one of you guys have a strange feeling some days ago ? like we did a whole time nothing?
-
Frank was walking back to his room when he almost ran into Evan. "Sorry wasn't watching where I was going,' said frank.
-
"Oh no, the fault was all mine! Sorry." Evan said and picked up his glasses.
"I belive we haven't met? My name's Evan Tyler, I'm a scientist and expert on animal behaviour." He reached out his hand and gave a bright smile.
-
Frank extended his hand "I'm General Frank Anderson XO of base security former fighter pilot and the person who did all those experiments in the country I founded ostia in the early 80's,' said frank.
-
Evan made big eyes.
"You're Frank Andersson? It's an honour to meet you sir! I was in the army to, three years ago." Evan revealed his dogtags.
"But what are you doing here of all places sir Frank?"
-
"Well after the ice cap melted most of my island was sunk execpt the mountian ranges where we held the line against the elkans in 1985 so I joined New Hope shortly after," said frank who also held up his dogtags. "They still talking about me at the Academy,'asked frank. "I was the best fighter pilot we had when the Air Force became a seperate force from the Army I still kept flying,' said frank.
-
'Good, I need a work-out. Let's get the game going!' Vylor said, and turned on the DDR machine.
-
"Ah. General. Good to see that you're well."
A tall, lanky figure stepped out of his room, smiling, then turned to Evan.
"And I don't believe that I've met you before. The name's Luis. Luis Sera. Nice to make your acquaintance."
He said, extending his hand...
-
Evan took his hand and shook it, smiling back.
"Nice to meet you Luis, my name's Evan Tyler".
"I'm an expert scientist in animal behaviour."
Afterwards, he said,
"You gentlemen haven't seen the Proffesor around here have you?"
"Oh, and do you know where I could get something to eat around here"?
He looked around.
"I suppose I quit looking for Mc Donalds!" he chuckled.
-
"The last time I saw him he was in his office,' said frank.
-
Evan nooded,
"And where's his office? Sorry mates, but I gonna need a map for this place!"
Evan said and gave a quick laugh.
"...Is there more people around here?"
-
Littlefoot turn to Cera "What do you mean Cera?" he asked wondering what she meant by what she said.
----
Prof. Elm and Lisa exit the lift and head to the Main Command room
-
Ducky & Petrie were about to ask the same thing but since Littlefoot did first they decided to wait and see what Cera said before either of them responded.
-
cera to littlefoot: well, i got the weird idea that we're standing on the same place,
-
"On the same place? this is the Great Valley it is the same place" Littlefoot was now rather confused deeply what Cera was saying
-
Luis looke around, responding to Evan's question by saying...
"It's..that, no...this. Or... ah, crap! I don't know which way it is, either!"
He exclaimed, stomping his foot irritatedly...
-
Ricktor stepped up behind Shane and asked "What are you guys looking for?" He smiled as he continued by saying "Perhaps I can be of some assistance."
~~~~
Longtail just happened to be flying around looking for Littlefoot and the others. He then heard Cera and Littlefoot below, and flapped down to meet them. "Hey guys, what's up?" he asked with a smile
-
Prof. Elm with Lisa saw them talking "Are you lot lost?" Elm spoke
-
"I am not sure, we were going to play a game, but now I'm confuseded." Ducky said, not understanding what Littlefoot and Cera were talking about.
"Me confuseded too." Petrie said also not understanding what they were talking about.
-
"No Evan here was just looking for you,' said Frank.
-
"Alright, so what is it that you'd which to see me about Evan" Prof. Elm asked Evan.
-
"Ah, good day Proffersor!"
"Well, alot of things really, I have a couple of unanswered questions..."
"To start with, why do I live alone?"
Evan said with a serious look.
-
"Yeah. Agreed. Why do we need a security force here, Professor? It seems rather quiet." Shane said, raising an eyebrow.
"And when is the Genetics team going to become nessecary? I've been waiting for almost a full month now, with nothing to do, chief."
Luis added, crossing his arms...
-
"Well it standard in all complexs to have a security force no matter how quiet it is and second tomorrow Genetics team will have some Genetics hopefully to deal with and keep you happy." Prof.Elm said to them then look to Evan "Your not alone, Gregg one of the first people to step foot on this land mass lives in the same room as you and at the moment working in the Command Centre of this complex" Elm finished answering the questions.
-
Evan was not quite satishfied with the conversation. But he didn't show it.
Neither did he say anything more.
Guess I'll wait, the Proffesor looks busy...
"One more thing Proffesor... Were can I get something to eat?"
-
'Professor, tomorrow, my sister and I are going out to collect a few samples of the plants around here and cross-reference them to the current plant genetic database. Do you have any objections?' Vylor said, coming from the direction of the games room.
-
Ricktor who was standing behind Shane just scoffed and whispered in his ear "Aw crud...I was hoping it would take longer...the less work I have to actually do...the better off I'll be! Besides chances are once we start working...things will go down hill real fast and then it'll be like Jurassic Park..but for real!"
-
"That against protocal Alpha 001. No one may leave the complex to the exposed lands of the dinosaurs without the clearance of Delta 9 opertations and only Startor has been given that Clearance. I am sorry but you know that going out there is far too risky to be spotted and Startor is the best of the best around here. I'll ask her to pick some up on the way back from her mission tomorrow, that is the very best I can do, sorry but my hands are tied in this matter" Prof. Elm said to Vylor looking over at her. He knew most would be happy to see and touch the outside lands but it was the last thing they wanted to do in the council, the lands are of the past and should not be directly infered by humans.
"Evan the cafe is clearly marked by the signs and arrows on the walls." Prof Elm stats to him
-----
Gregg who just finished his shift sees Ricktor and his friend "is something the matter?"
-
'Thats okay. We just need a few samples. We'll take any we can get.' Vylor responded, with a slightly disappointed tone of voice.
(OOC: Vylor is the brother. Argaya is the sister.)
-
"Yeah even "flyboys" like me are restricted from flying directly over the island, thats why the runway is inside the complex and close to the coast,' said frank. "Oh by the way professer the research that you asked for from my personal records will be on your desk tomorrow,' said Frank. "Well I'd like to stay and chat but it's my turn in the camrea control, sitting and watching a bunch of video screens I'm gonna need a good cup of coffee and I can't report for duty in this,' said frank who pointed to the flight suit he was wearing.
-
Ricktor turned to face Gregg and replied "Well Shane and Luis here is getting uppity about not being able to get to work around here...I however say we relax a little more. No harm in it right?"
-
"I've been here since the day this base was up and running, I am sure tomorrow you'll be very busy, tomorrow there is a grand meeting for all staff at Cargo Bay 9. At 2pm, Prof. Elm will have more on that tomorrow. Well I better go, I got some sleep to catch up on" Gregg said to them
"Gregg this is Evan, his sharing the same dom as you" Elm said looking to Evan
"Ah finally someone else in the same room, no one to share that room for 5 months now, it be different but good" Gregg smirked then turn to Evan "I am Gregg, nice to meet you Evan" he puts his hand out to him.
-
Evan took his hand and shook it.
"Ah, how wonderful! I thought I was the only one in that building, but I did see a bag that clearly wasn't mine!" he chuckled.
"Evan Tyler, nice too meet you Gregg!"
"Seems like we face the same dom yes, so I guess we have some to talk about."
Evan took of his glasses, and took up a small polish napkin out of his sidepack to polish them.
"But right now, I'm starving! I'll be at the cafe'."
He put on his glasses again.
He made a small waving with his hand.
"Proffesor, everyone."
Then he set off.
What a jolly bunch! Now this's more like it! Gotta chat more with Gregg!
Now, FOOD!
-
'Professor, you should relax. Why don't you go to the games room later? My sister and I set up the DDR machine we made there.' Vylor suggested, then went off to his room to get his communicator.
-
"I plan to get something to eat after going to the command centre. Lisa we better go" Lisa nods and both part from the group heading to the command centre.
-
"Well I'll be in the security room watching the moniters if anyone needs me,' said frank who walked off holding a mug of coffee.
-
Littlefoot just gave up on what Cera was tlaking about and choice to change the subject "Lets go play before it gets too late to play"
-
"Yes, let us." Ducky said looking around for a good tree seed of the type Spike would not eat and a good spot to start the game at.
"Me agree." Petrie said nodding enthusiastically.
-
Longtail smiled and said "Yeah lets paly...I'm getting bored! So what game are we going to play?"
-
Ducky turned to look at Longtail, "Toss the tree seed. We just need to find one Spike won't eat. It is not fun when he does that while we are playing, though he is hungry, no it is not." She said shaking her head.
-
"What about one of those seed cone ones? they not eatable, they usually hanging on trees around about this time" Littlefoot suggested
-
Ducky nods, "That is a good idea, it is, it is." She then turns to the others present, "What do you others think?" She asked.
"Me agree." Petrie said nodding as well.
-
"Very well, okay!" Ruby said.
"If everyone is fine with that, then it's fine!"
-
Longtail nodded and replied by saying "That's a great idea Littlefoot, I'll go and see if I can find any. Does anyone want to come with me?"
-
"I can go with you" Ruby nooded.
-
"I'll come with you as well Longtail" Littlefoot said after Ruby
-
"Maybe we can all go." Ducky said, "It would be easier and faster to find if we all look together, yes it would." She said thinking it would be faster indeed if many looked instead of just 1 or 2.
"Me go too." Petrie said not wanting to be left out and it sounded to him like it may be fun.
-
Just then, a seed cone came flying out of a nearby tree and hit Longtail in the head.
"Oh. Oops. Sorry about that, pal! Didn't realize it would fly that well!"
Dante laughed, dropping out of the tree with a smirk...
-
Longtail rubbed his head and replied "Ow...thanks Dante...my head is going to be sore for a while...but thanks...it saves us time in searching for a seed." Longtail then picked it up and turned to the others and asked "Who wants to play?"
-
Dante eagerly raised a claw, piping in...
"Sure thing! Count me in!"
-
"Alright, then lets go" Littlefoot said turning ot the direction of the place they played before with the seed game.
-
"Good, now we can all have fun till we have to go home, yep, yep, yep." Ducky said happy that they had what the needed to play the game.
"Me happy too." Petrie said, waiting to take off once the others started heading in the direction that they would be playing the game.
-
they all head off in that direction and a little opening in the ground appears by a tree and a small camera raise up behind some bushes and zooms in on the gang walking away. Littlefoot stops then turn in that direction "that strange... I got a strange feeling we being watched... I keep getting that feeling for a while now... but there nothing around to seem to be watching us" Littlefoot said really confused by this.
---
Professor Elm with Frank and Lisa watched this happen. "It seems this dinosaur" Elm points to Littlefoot on the screen "He seem to be the bright one of the bunch"
-
Dante nodded.
"You're not the only one. Did it seem like we haven't done...well, anything, really, for a long, long time?"
He asked...
-
"It may be." Ducky said, not sure where the conversation was going, "But what do you mean by a long time?" She asked, not sure but thought if she helped it along she may get an idea where it was going and what they were talking about.
"Petrie no know." He said shaking his head before he took off to keep up with the others, landing nearby where they were instead of getting to far ahead.
____
Mim was in a small clearing by herself. She had eaten enough for now and was doing as she often did when alone. Trying out various things to see if they fit with what she had observed before, and trying to see if she could understand why. Some things she had noted before, but could still not understand why they should be that way. Like why objects tended to fall at the same rate, unless they were flat and thin like a leaf. One would think the heavier object should fall faster, but it did not. And what were the night lights anyway. Were they like a smoking mountain. She had seen that bubbling fire had some of it's own light, and smoking mountains did at times shoot out rocks when they went boom. Could that be where flying rocks that could be seen were coming from. If things fall to the ground why did only some of them do so, or did they all but some did very far way.
Mim had finished dropping a few different types of rocks and a tree sweet or 2 to see if they also hit the ground at the same rate, and having finished ate the tree sweet and was not laying on her back looking up at the sky at some clouds. And talking quietly to herself.
"How high is the sky anyway?" She asked. "If the bright circle is warm, why is it colder high in the air as some flyers I've talked to have said." She said to herself.
"Is someone here?" She heard a female sounding voice. Mim looked over in the direction, hoping the person had not understood what she said, some did not like the sorts of questions and such that she asked and did to see if she could understand certain things.
She got up and said aloud, "Yes, just me." She said as she saw Tria.
"I thought I heard someone over here. I was wondering if you could help us a bit." She said.
"In what way." Mim said as Tricia sat down and babbled something.
"There is this tree with some treesweets nearby and I'd rather not knock them off the tree like Topsy does for just a few, it seems such a waste." Tria said.
"Sure," Mim said walking over closer, "I'd be glad to help. I can climb pretty well. Just show me the tree and with your help I can get some." She said as the walked along with Tricia running ahead.
-
"Ive had this feeling too," Ruby said.
"But how can someone be watching us, if someone's not watching us?"
-
"Maybe it is somebody who we can not see because they are hiding, it could be." Ducky said. "They may be shy." She said.
"Like hidden runner." Petrie said.
-
"yes it cerintaly looks that way,' said Frank. "It kinda reminds me of when I was their age,' said frank.
-
"Yeah that could be" Littlefoot said back then he notice something shiny from the reflection of the sun "Huh?"
---
Elm eyes widened "Recall the camera now!" he yelled turning to Lisa
"Right away" she press in the recall numbers and the camera withdraws back into the ground and closes up.
prof. Elm turn to Lisa "Get those new comers, the breifing can't wait to the morning. I will be in Central Briefing chamber. Elm leaves the room.
Lisa then goes to the intercom "Annoancement to all new arrivals, breifing been pushed forwards to right now, please go to Central Briefing room at once. This is no joke, report there at once. Lisa out" Lisa turns off the intercom. "Does dinosaurs are getting wise to noticing we watching them..." Lisa looked concerned seeing the recording of Littlefoot looking right at the camera itself and the image repeating it self over.
---
Littlefoot went over to the glimmer then saw nothing in the bushes "Guys did you see that light?" Littlefoot asked searching arounf the area he saw the light then look to the others.
-
Frank swore to himself and began for the breifing room when his old leg injury started to act up. One of the other workers in the room gave him his cane "Thank you,' said frank as he began for the breifing room. "Looks like I'll have to wait for my daily flight,' he said to himself.
-
Evan put down his cup of coffe.
He rose up, and exited the cafeteria, heading for the meeting.
He was exited!
Finaly!
-
Ducky shook her head, "What did you see Littlefoot." She asked, looking in the direction Littlefoot was looking and going over closer to where he was.
"Petrie see, but not know what." Petrie said, taking off to over above the area Littlefoot was looking and was looking down himself. He was easily scared, but he thought if Littlefoot was there looking for something maybe it wasn't to scary since Littlefoot wasn't acting scared.
-
"Not sure... whatever it was it gone, I knew I saw some light from here but it not here now..." Littlefoot said back to the others.
(Whoever playing Cera come on!)
----
Prof. Elm walked to the briefing room and knew that these people was the best in their fields and was required cause of the Dinosaurs seem to be getting wise on their operations of obversiving them. "This is the 3rd time this week alone that one of these dinosaurs noticed the camera's reflection of the lens..."
-
Vylor and Argaya were heading towards the briefing room. 'Finally! I couldn't wait until tomorrow for some research.' Vylor said as he ran at his full speed. Argaya was running right next to him. 'I wonder why the briefing was moved ahead?' she asked.
-
Elm had arrived at the meeting room and Startor was there sitting down on a chair. "I believe that includes me since I am on the field tomorrow"
"Indeed, but it seems they are smarter then we estimated by a long shot" Elm replied then the door opened with the first coming in "Please take a seat, while we wait for the others to arrive."
-
Evan was suprised he'd got there among the firsts.
He took a seat, brought up a small device from his sidepack and placed it on his knees.
It looked alot like a handcomputer.
This makes taking notes so much more effective! he thought.
He took of his glasses and put them in the sideback, leaned back and waited.
-
Frank entered the room holding his left leg while using his cane to suppot him and took a seat next to Evan. "What will hapen now will we finally make contact with these dinosaurs,' thought frank to himself
-
Ricktor came into the room looking passive as he said to himself 'This is most intresting...but I wonder what happened to have the meeting called now instead of tomorrow morning?'
~~~~
Longtail was wondering what it was Littlefoot saw. He stepped forward and said "Well should we go after what you saw Littlefoot?"
-
Shane and Luis joined the others in the conference room.
Luis relaxed in his chair, kicking his feet up onto the table.
"Well, that's a toughie to decide. I don't know how they'll react. To their... situation, I mean."
He said, running a hand through his long, greying hair...
-
Ricktor nodded to Luis and said "Well we can only hope it's positive...otherwise we may have a problem arising very soon."
He then sat down and pulled a chilled soda out of his pocket and took a sip from it. "Root beer...nothing better "
-
Frank motionted to one of the attendents who brought him a bottle. Frank opened it and drank dirctely from it "Yes there's nothing that can beat a ice cold Coca Cola,' said frank.
-
"I am not sure where it went, it was right here then it was just gone..." Littlefoot said with confusion looking around one more then turn and went back to the others "whatever it was it's gone now... but still would of wanted to see what it was" Littlefoot sighed
----
Elm looked at those arrived (how many more are we waiting on?). Elm knew this meeting had to be pushed ahead cause of the detection of the devices was noticed but still able to get hidden in time before they saw they very thing. "I hope what we found would be unfrozen tomorrow, it will help us in a big way I believe" Elm whispers to himself standing at the computer typing in the file details to bring fouth the data for the briefing.
-
"Maybe it saw that you saw it and it ran away quickly." Ducky said looking up at Littlefoot.
-
cera said: saw what?
-
'Okay Professor. We're here. What has pushed the meeting ahead? We would have brought a pad & pen if we knew that you would be briefing us today. We'll just have to use voice recorders.' Vylor said.
-
Shane looked at the Professor, nodding his head.
"It's probably pretty important, isn't it? If changing this meeting indicates anything, it's a big deal. So, what's the scoop?"
Luis sighed.
"Hopefully this isn't bad. That would make life harder."
He added...
-
Prof.Elm took a look at each of them. "I push this meeting ahead because you all was picked cause of your skills are the best, this meeting is serious in nature in many ways." Elm shows a recording of Littlefoot looking right at the camera repeating it over and over again. "This was taken only 10 minutes ago, this young dinosaur had became aware of being watched and noticing for the 3rd time in one week the camera lens reflection or the sound it makes when rising and lowering. in the case of this we believe the dinosaurs are very self aware of the land around them and noticing a feel of gap in time as past." Elm tells them all explaining the seriousiness of this.
"Does it has anything to do with the block of ice you have Elm?" Startor spoke up.
"Yes. We believe it holds a pair of dinosaurs in sleep like the others but on a higher level, we believe they was right next to the release of the energy that put them all to a sleep that kept them alive for 65 million years. these two are dinosaurs but we believe they the ones that activated it" Elm finished with many looking very shocked
-
"Maybe we should un freeze them,' said frank. "If anyones gonna know more about the dino's it's most likely the frozen ones,' said frank.
-
"That why we been modifing some of the alien technology to release a higher burst that awaken the others that seem to not wake these. But when we activate the device it should wake them. So hopefully it will work tomorrow but at this time we on highten alert cause of the dinosaurs are very warey of what going on around them now then ever..." Elm said and feeling that they could be discovered soon.
-
"Ah. So...do you need me to be there as backup in case something happens, Professor?"
Shane asked, running his hand through his hair calmly...
"And are we allowed to genetically examine these two...subjects?"
Luis added, sounding somewhat eager...
-
'It wouldn't be wise as of now. The cells have been frozen for long periods of time, and that would make the DNA inanimate. We would have to forcibly re-awaken the entire organism to get a viable DNA sample. I have done a lot of frozen genetic experimentation, and I've tried it with long-frozen specimens. THat would happen.' Vylor said. 'We should wait until we can fully revive the specimens until we genetically examine them.' Argaya concluded.
-
Ricktor whistled and said "Now that's impressive. Well, even if we could get them awake what's to say that they'll be willing to cooperate with us...or more to the point...how will we understand them? I doubt they speak the english language."
-
Evan took word,
"I could have a go on that..." he said, with an unsure voice.
When everyone was looking at him, he said again,
"Well... I've acctually done it before...? With modern day animals..."
He then turned to Prof.Elm,
"Proffesor, do we know the speices of the dinosaurs keept in the ice?"
"I need to know that, if you'll let me have a go..."
Yes Evan, you have been communicating with Tigers and Crocodiles... but a dinosaur...?
-
"Even if we are sucessful we don't know what they are capable of I think we should bring one of the dino childern here then unfreeze them,' said frank "However if we choose to do that it creates problems it won't make our first contact good but maybe it's time we made contact," added frank. "Or we could take a more drastic approach,' said frank as he motionted to an attendent with his head. "Professer the reashearch from my 80's experiements he handed Elm a folder with papers inside I tried what they did in Jurassic Park offically I failed, unoffically I succeeded, however The experiements were small term I only added small things like tails and such to the voulenters The only full scale one we did ended in complete failure,' said Frank. "What do you all think,' asked Frank.
-
'I was wondering about the tail, Frank. I call for a vote: should we un-freeze the current dinosaurs or use Frank's idea and un-freeze one of the children?' Argaya said. 'I agree. A vote would make the decision easier.' Vylor added.
-
Shane shook his head, thinking.
"Mmmm..This is tough. I have to go with unfreezing the current dinos. That way, we may be able to figure out more about the langauge and such."
Luis, however, voted for Frank's idea, saying...
"However, we don't have the faintest idea what the two we have are capable of. The children would be a safer option, if you ask me..."
-
After hearing the others opinions Ricktor smiled and said "I think the best idea would be bring the children here, and then unfreeze the ones in the ice. That way we can be sure if any data we have matches with our files."
-
"Aye I think we should bring the children here,' said frank. "That way we will be able to learn more about them".
-
"So I take it we're all agreeded by bringing the children here,' asked frank.
-
Ricktor nodded to Frank and said "I think it's safe to say we all agree on that course of action..and of course if anyone actually objects to it...then they're just plain crazy!" Ricktor then sighed and said "I need a Root Beer in the worst way!"
-
"Ditto for me. I'll make sure to be around, in case any of you need help."
Shane added, nodding his head.
"Alright. I suppose there are some risks still, but...what's the fun in life but risks?"
Luis said stretching back in his chair again...
-
"We are going to be unfreezing them with our new technology. It shows a 99.9% chance of working the error is very tiny so we going with it. As for the dinosaurs... they do speak" Everyone looked shocked but Startor with smiled at what Elm said
"Of course since I was the one that went out there 3 months ago and set up the mic devices with the cameras and heard them for myself, the one they call Topys or Mr Threehorn is the father of a young one called Cera who plays with this one called Littlefoot, we only know from what we heard from the mics or what I heard. These two we have in ice as it where the ones I found by the machine we very well repaired and modified" Startor spoke
"Yes indeed and we believe they set a timer but their one blow out and froze them in a sleep time in a blink. So we think these two dinosaurs was the ones that place the devices." Elm finished off what was been said. "So tomorrow we will wake our guests up and as for tests there will be none till I say so, do you all understand me. these dinosaurs are smarter then we thought as you seen on that image. so till I say no tests. understood?" he looked around at them
-
'Understood, Professor. We'll wait on the genetics tests until you give us the thumbs-up.' Vylor said without any sign of disappointment.
-
"Very good, that's it for the briefing, be at Cargo Bay 8 tomorrow at noon, dismissed" Elm said to them all then look to Evan "Evan and Startor stay here please"
-
Frank walked out of the breifing room and said to himself "I think I'll just have my daily flight now,' as he started for the hanger.
-
Ricktor smiled as the meeting ended, he then turned to Shane and asked "Hey wanna buy me lunch? Besides you still owe me one..."
He then looked over to Luis and said "Care to join us?"
-
"Hey, if lunch is on Shane, I'm all for it"
Luis laughed, swinging himself to his feet and joining the other two at the door.
"H-Hey! I agreed to pay for Ricktor's lunch because I owe him one! You are so not mooching a meal off me, Luis"
Shane replied indignantly, throwing a playful punch at Luis's head...
-
Ricktor caught the mock punch with his hand and said "I'll make you both a deal, Shane you buy both Luis and I lunch....and I'll pay for all the dessert the three of us can eat? How's that?"
-
Frank reached the hanger and saw gaurds posted outside the door and questioned why they were threr.
-
Lisa stood there behind them "you know the value of money here is worthless, we eat the alootment that we are given. It will be in your handbooks which you all got from the Port" Lisa told them.
---
Frank came to the hanger and two men stood there in front of the doors to the main hanger "Sir your aloud in to check on your plane but that is it, since the dinosaurs became more aware as late no flights around or over the land mass are aloud now, only boat travel from the Main Port in the cliff. Sorry sir but we have orders from the New World Alliance directly handed to us only a day ago" Frank then remembered about those important visitors that Elm said he couldn't speak of orders fron NWA.
-
'All the accommodations here were thought out thoroughly. I think I'll be in the game room.' Argaya said.
-
Soon everyone part from Evan and Startor that left Elm look to both as the door shut. "Right I asked you two to stay because the problem is far more serious then many here knows and what I will tell you two and what is said will not leave these walls and not to be spoke of, understood?" Elm look to them.
"understood Professor Elm" Startor spoke back with a nod she knowing this must be very important.
-
Frank nodded his head and walked into the hanger with the two men behind him. He ran his right hand underneth the wing of his P-51 Mustang "Hello old friend I'm sorry I haven't flown you in a while,' he said to himself. "Alright I'm done,' said frank who walked out of the hanger.
-
"Very well sir, wish we could let you, but orders are orders" the guard said as the door shut.
-
(who plays Evan?)
-
(OOC: I think Littlefot does.)
-
OC( Yes he does. Sorry, I've been away. How can I help you?
Just let me read trough...)
-
Evan nodded.
"Will stay within these walls. Understood."
"So, what is it Professor?"
Evan closed his note-aparatus.
-
Elm sighs and sits down "I check over your records and since you will work close to what I work on you'd need to know this. You see Startor had almost been discovered by those kids and they been closer then usally to this complex in the last two weeks." Elm said to them both. "We built this in the wall that least gone to but these kids go to almost anywhere. We have no idea what effect if they discovered our Complexs or those cameras" Elm said to them getting up.
"So tomorrow you and I Evan will talk to those in the ice when they are unfrozen and Startor will keep a eye on Littlefoot just to see if he sees any more of our cameras. None of this is told to anyone alright?"
"Yes sir" Startor replied.
"Evan come with me and Startor see you in the morning" Startor leaves and Elm look to Evan. "come with me"
---
Littlefoot walking just behind the others wondered what he saw and wanted to go off look for it now. "Maybe if I sneak off I can look for that thingy." Littlefoot whispered to himself.
-
"Who told us what?" Evan said to confirm his silence.
"Okay"
He put his things in his sidepack and followed Prof.Elm.
-
Littlefoot found his chance and takes another direction heading back to the location he saw the object then stop "Maybe it did run away, maybe I should go this way" Littlefoot takes a new direction towards the areas that haven't grown in a while "Wow I remember the fire that started here... still nothing grown here... wonder when it will grow back" Littlefoot looked around the area of blacken trees with no leaves on them and the ground having no sign of grass on it. "huh where that warm air coming from?" Littlefoot was feeling a bit of warm air blowing from the ground and walked to it and looked down "A round hole?" Littlefoot looked down it "I see light like the bright circle down there" he walked around it to try a get a better look down there without looking down it cause of the warm air coming up.
----
Elm and Evan arrived at the room with all cameras in the area shown on screens "Welcome to the eyes outside the complex, this is called Lens Labs since we watch and understand the dinosaurs best we can without being detected" Elm explained to him and hands him a lvl 9 clearance card. "This is your clearance level and here is book to show you the areas you can access with this card" Elm gives him the book as well.
-
"Amazing..." Evan murmured and put the things in his sidepack.
He looked around.
"...You said that one of the dinosaurs... was it Littlefoot? almost had ran into one of the cameras?"
-
"yes today" Elm nods then walk to a door it opens to show a lift "Why don't I take you to Floor B7 that is where we grow some of our food in a underground Green House which has a lake and trees with flowers of all kind, it also a good place to rest in some of the locations in it" Elm said to Evan.
---
Littlefoot turn to hear someone but his back feet slip over the edge and he falls but try to hold on with his front feet "I can't get any grip... help!" Littlefoot cried then slips down the tube falling down it faster and faster sliding on the metal surface he shots out and hits the water with a big splash then surfaces seconds later coughing then looked around then gets to the shore getting out his shook the water off his scales then took a better look and saw the hole "Wow I am lucky there was water below that big hole. But what is this place? it feels warm and there lots of trees and plants every where and light with no bright circle, this place amazing I got to tell the others" Littlefoot turn to look for a way out "I'll go this way" Littlefoot picks a way and heads off.
At one side of the place a door opens and Elm with Evan enters "Welcome to Farm Greenhouse B7 this is one of 20 that around this complex deep under the Great Valley about 40 feet, we have air pipes that make sure that this place don't get too hot as you see from the celling, only one leads into the Valley which is the one above the lake that leads to a part of land in the Valley that seem to suffer massive fire damage and ungrowable now" Elm explained as they walked.
-
Frank walked into the restrant and ordered a glass of beer as he began drink he said to the waiter "Ya know Back in WWII I told my buddies I'd rather die than be grounded, and now I forget that all flights in the area of this island are restricted,'. He took another swig as he looked at the ring on his finger "It's been more than thirty years since I lost her,' he said. as the waiter was about to pour the next glass frank took the bottle "I'll be back with this later,' he said he paid the man and began walking off to his room.
-
"Hey, where did Littlefoot go?" Ruby said and looked around.
------------------
"... I don't know what to say professor..." Evan walked around in the area, stunned by amazement.
This is almost like a Geofront!
Evan turned to Elm,
"Thanks for letting me on this... whole thing!"
-
Frank who had finished drinking stumpled into his room and fell foward onto his bed with the bottle falling out of his hand. He kept thinking "Why do I not have level 9 security clearence,' he asked himself. "I'm just gonna get some sleep now,' he said to himself.
-
They walked around for about a hour and up to the farms with the water spraying out of the ground onto the crops "The food helps us stop getting ships coming in with supplies such as food which saves any chances of being spotted more like the flying the dinosaurs" Elm said to him as they walked Littlefoot was behind them and turn.
"Huh? I never seen those before, wonder what kind they are. Hope their not Sharpteeth, I bet they know a way out" Littlefoot came up behind them and nerviously spoke up "Erm hello... I am kind of... erm... lost can you tell me how to get back to the Great Valley" Both Elm and Evan stopped and slowly turned around looking at Littlefoot with shock.
"Oh no..." Elm spoke with total shock
-
Frank opened his eyes "I'm just gonna go talk to the professer myself,' he said. He walked to the control room using the walls as leverage. "Oh I shoud not have had that whole bottle,' he mumbled to himself.
-
Littlefoot saw the shocked faces and frowns a little "Is something wrong?"
Elm shook his head then said "No but... how did you get in here?"
Littlefoot looks up and towards the vent over the lake "There was hole and I fell through it from up there into that cold water" Littlefoot replied "erm who are you and what are you? I never seen anything like you before"
Elm clears his throat "I am Elm and this is Evan we are humans, and who might you be?" he already knew that
"Littlefoot" Littlefoot said to them "Your speaking so I guess your not sharpteeth, thats a releif" Littlefoot smiled "Could you help me get out of this strange underground valley place?"
Elm puts a finger up "Could you let us speak in private" Littlefoot nods an Elm pulls Evan away and spoke "Snap out of it Evan" he slaps Evan across the face to snap him out of it "Now this is what I feared the most. We've now interacted with him and now we had no choice but to tell what kind we are since the truth better then a lie." Elm said to him
-
frank stupmled into the cafe and to the counter and said to the waiter "I want hot coffee,'. While he waited he continued to complain to himself "Why do I not have lvl 9 clearnce,' he asked himself. "I've had more personal contact with the type of creatures we're watching here tha anyone else, I suppose they just don't trust me,' he said to himeslf.
-
Ducky looked around, "I do not know. Maybe he heard his grandparents calling, but why would he not tall us if he did. I do not know. Maybe Spike or Chomper can use their sniffer and find him, maybe they can." Ducky said.
"Maybe he wonder off, get lost." Petrie said then he started to cringe as another idea occured to him, "Or maybe giant sharptooth fly in, take him away. Me Uncle Pterano told me a story of an giant flying sharptooth who swooped in and took away a whole herd of sharpteeth, in one gulp." Petrie said getting scared and cringing as if expecting it to appear at any second.
Ducky turned to Petrie, "Petrie," She said a bit annoyed at his wild story, "We would have heard it or Littlefoot crying out, sharpteeth are not quiet, not hey are not, they like roaring a lot. I know your uncle Pterano told you a story of one, but I do not know if one exists. I do not, and do not think one was here, no, no, no." Ducky said.
-
Lisa was in the cafe and listened "well lvl 9 staff are the ones that work in the labs almost all the time, your not a scientist like most that work with Elm in the labs. So your highest is 8, only the labs are the areas you can't enter so why are you complaining about it?" Lisa said to Frank getting up "Why is seeing what in the lab so important any how?"
(who playing Chomper?)
-
Evan said to Elm, and murmured.
"I understand, I need you to stay away okay?"
He then walked out to the dinosaur called Littlefoot.
This is it...
He stoped 2 metres from Littlefoot, and sat down.
He took off his glasses, and gave a smile.
Then he started to speak:
"Hi Littlefoot. My name's Evan."
He must be an Apatosaurus... he thought, focusing to cast away the fact that he was face to face with a dinosaur.
He didn't say anymore, he wanted Littlefoot to take the first step.
-
"yeah Elm just told me that" Littlefoot said to him "But what is that clear shiny thing you took off your face?" Littlefoot looked to the glasses. "It looks like that frozen water stuff but it clearer then frozen water. Does it help you to see better?"
"How the blazes... why would you say that?" Elm had to asked
"His eyes looked a little bigger with those thingys on and they look normal size now so I just thought it made him help see a bit better then he can..." Littlefoot suggested. "I saw something like that with the frozen water that stood up, I looked in it and made Cera look bigger for some reason so I thought it worked the same way." Littlefoot finished saying his reason of a guess such as that.
-
Indeed, he's a smart little fella!
"Hehe, you're correct! Evan took his glasses up."
"These are called glasses, they are made of a material that my kind call glass. I can see without them, but my vision gets blurry sometimes when I don't have them on.
"May I ask, Littlefoot, what do you call your kind?
-
'Hey, Frank! How are you?' Vylor asked as he walked into the cafÈ with Argaya. 'Waiter, could we get two cups of tea? Green if you have it.' He said as he sat down next to Frank.
-
(OOC: I don't think Chomper is taken. I think only the gang members Ducky, Petrie, Littlefoot, Cera, & Ruby are taken. Among the adults only Grandpa Longneck and Threehorn are taken. ))
-
(whos up to take Chomper :) )
"I'm a Longneck" Littlefoot said to him and looking at the glasses "Glass. I guess that make sense why you call them glasses if you put them over your eyes." Littlefoot said in a cheerful tone "How come I never heard of your human types before? I never seen your kind either till today, do you hide from others?"
"Indeed we do, we have things that many wouldn't understand and be afaird and try to destory what is not understand" Elm told Littlefoot
"Yeah I can believe that, Mr Threehorn, Cera's dad really don't like things changing, like when those rainbow faces came and they said things about beyond the Mysterious Beyond from up in the sky, he really closed that up in seconds of them speaking of it." Littlefoot remebered their little talk about the stone of cold fire. "They did leave in a strange way though"
"What way would that be?" Elm asked
"You'd never believe me" Littlefoot replied "Plus I shouldn't really be telling of it since they said 'that be telling' and better finding out things on our own." Littlefoot stated. Elm look to Evan to see if he could get into hearing that last piece.
-
"Well for one I was the first to experiement with dino DNA,' said frank to lisa. he saw Vlyor and Argaya enter th cafe "Hello,' responded frank. "When I first joined New Hope lisa I thought they would help me expand my research I was wrong,' said frank.
-
Startor walked in and saw Frank "Finally I found you Frank, Professor Elm gave me this to give you this" Startor gave him a lvl 9 card "he said that he couldn't give you it personally since his giving Evan a tour, so he asked me to give it you. So here it is" She put it in his hand. "well I better go get a nice rest before tomorrows outing" She turns to leave.
-
Frank turned to lisa and said "Forget everything I just said this makes up for the flight restrictions,' Frank finished his coffee "i think I'll head for the lab and see how things are going,' said frank.
-
(ooc: I can take Chomper, unless someone else, preferably someone with no fc, or second someone who has only 1, wants to try rping as him. I already have 2, and would think it's better if someone with no fc got first choice, & second someone with just 1. I'll wait till tomorrow to rp as him in case someone wants to take him. )
-
"And have you tried to find out by yourself?" Evan asked.
"It's okay, you can trust me. I sure would belive you." he smiled.
"Why shouldn't we?"
-
"Well I did look around two of the rocky walls but there was nothing but just a wall... I was going to look over in the direction you two came from before I saw you" Littlefoot replied then thought about the other thing "ok... I think I can tell you but please don't tell anyone else"
"I promise Littlefoot" Elm nods
"Ok the two rainbow faces vanished in some tall light thing with night sparkles going off where they was and going up it then this weird flying rock shiny flew away and went up into the sky. It was amazing to see" Littlefoot finished telling them
-
Evan turned and looked at Elm.
Aliens...
"Amazing..." Evan whispered. "I do belive you!"
"I know others of my kind that have experienced similar things."
"These rainbow faces, are they common here?" he asked Littlefoot.
-
"Not really, never see them much when they show up many grown ups talk about them saying things in riddles and not giving straight answers, those the talks I overheard in meetings" Littlefoot answered
"I see so they not very common" Elm nods and sits down on a bench that was just near by.
"But I did see the same two about a cold time ago, it was night and I saw them going by and strange flying rocks landing outside the Valley then I fell asleep and awoke the next day to find almost completly melted frozen water everywhere." Littlefoot said to them both. "I never seen anything like that before"
-
'Wait! Startor, could you do my sister and I a favor? On your outing tomorrow, can you get a few samples of the plants outside for us?' Vylor asked.
-
Ricktor was sitting in the cafe with Shane and Luis, while drinking a Root Beer, and almost laughed it out of his nose when he saw Frank's face with his Lvl. 9 clearence card. He then turned to Shane and Luis and asked "So what are you two expected to do once the project gets under way?"
He looked down at his drink and said "I know why I'm here...man this is going to be fun!"
-
"I see what I can do alright Vylor, if the little rex called Chomper sniffs me out again I have end it and return quickly cause that little one with the children dinosaurs some how able to smell me and I have to end my task earily again, so if I can get some plants I will but I can't promise you anything specially with that little dino being around" Startor replied turning to Vylor.
----
"Strange... but it seems to come around the same time we arrived on this landmass" Elm said thinking about it knowing it was them that woke them.
"Yeah" Littlefoot then take a look around "Is there a way to get out of this place?" Littlefoot asked them wanting to get out to show his friends this place and the humans he met but he remembered about the fear of differences "I better not tell anyone about this... if the grown ups found out I am sure they do what you said..."
"Thank you Littlefoot" Elm smiled knowing that it would be safe to know that Littlefoot will keep his word and not speak of this place or about the humans.
-
'That's okay. Get them when you can, but the sooner the better.' Argaya replied.
-
"Whenever I can get them I will but first is my primary job and even to pick plants will be second." Startor said and leaves.
-
Frank arrived at the lab and put a lab coat on "Any new developments,' asked frank. nothing yet sir replied one of the scientists. "Well inform me when there are,' said frank. very well sir replied the scientist.
-
"Sir there are some projects we can't tell you about since it a eyes only project of lvl 10 clearance other then the very few that can work on it. Elm is the only one here with that clearance and see any results of those developments" one scientist explained "But anything else will be docurmented and reported to you as well as other lvl 9 clearance personal."
-
"Ah so there is a lvl 10 I thought it was just stories,' said frank. "Of course there is always someone above who knows more that you,' said frank.
-
Chomper had finished eating and had used his sniffer to find the rest of the group. He walked up towards them.
"Yum, those crawlers were tastey, there are still plenty left if you guys want any." He said to them as he walked towards them.
"Me already eat." Petrie said, not sure what else to say since he wasn't sure why Chomper offered them.
"I do not think those would be good for me to eat, no I do not. But we are glad to see you, we are." Ducky said.
"That is ok, plenty left for me then. I'll have to tell Guido of that place next time I see him." Chomper said. He then looked at the ones present looking for Littlefoot.
"So what are you guys doing, and where is Littlefoot? Is his dad visiting?" Chomper asked as he looked for Littlefoot.
-
"Thank you for understanding our reasons to keep hidden from the others, your mind opened to possibitles but others wouldn't" Elm explained. "We take you to a way out and if you like you could drop by tomorrow around mid day." Elm suggested
"What happening tomorrow?" Littlefoot asked
"We found two dinosaurs matching what you said in ice and alive still and we got something that will melt the ice and wake them up" Elm told him
"Cool that be great" Littlefoot smiled "But... I can't keep this from my friends forever they will find out" Littlefoot sighed and lost his smile.
"Can they be trusted to keep a sceret?" Elm asked him
Littlefoot nods "Yes! I trust them to keep it" Littlefoot gave a straight direct answer.
Elm looks to Evan "So Evan do you think we should go with this? since they are close friends from what we seen while keeping check of any dangers from our complex" Littlefoot listened to them and knew that it be their choice that be final and watching him and his friends might of been just they cross the humans view while keeping their own safe and hidden from the Great Valley and everywhere else.
-
Evan rose up on his legs.
He was suddenly feeling better than he had done for ages.
All this was like an impossible dream come true to him!
He felt exited like a little kid on X-mas eve, and he sure wanted more!
"That's up to you Professor!" he said, wiping away some dirt.
"I'd be glad to help out".
"I'm sure we can trust Littlefoot here, so why shouldn't we be able to trust his friends?" he said smiling bright to Littlefoot.
"About tomorrow, I sure want to meet you again Littlefoot, and if possible (he looked at Elm as to say pleeeaase!), your friends too!" he said with an exited voice.
"I have many questions that I'd like to ask, about life in the Valley and such, too much to cover in one sweep."
He took his glasses and put them in one of the pockets on his shirt.
"But for now, lets find ourselves a way out of here."
"Professor?" he nodded at Elm and pointed right/left.
(OCC: Awsome RP!)
-
"Your not a kid Evan... so don't act like one and it be nice to know about the Great Valley but it none of our business to butt in and look on their way of life, ours is very different and be very differcult for us to life in their life style such as they try to live in ours" Elm explained to Evan and speaking to Littlefoot a little to explain it.
"I think I know what you mean Elm, your strange thingys on you and this strange place being part of your complex thing home is strange" Littlefoot seem to get a idea what he ment.
"Then we'll take you through the complex to one of the hatches to let you out." Elm walked over to a speaker on a hook and lifts it out "This is Professor Elm to all personal, everyone stay clear and away of corridor 9 right through to corridor 13, this is a lvl 10 order, no personal are allow in that area. Do not ask questions do as your asked, Elm out" Elm put it back and walks to the lift and it opens up "This will take us to corridor 9 right to the hatch that leads to the waste land area of the Great Valley in corridor 13, that be the one you come to tomorrow Littlefoot"
"Right, thank you sir" Littlefoot looked at the lift "it kind of small, how does it go up?"
"It goes up using a cable pulling this lift up" Elm replied
"Wow that cool!" Littlefoot gets in and so does the other two.
Startor stands at corridor 9 and directing all personal out of those 4 corridors "I bet one of the dinosaurs are here and it that Littlefoot. So it a good idea to keep this clear." she whispered and saw Frank coming to corridor 9 and she saw it clear "Sorry Frank lvl 10 and who works on the outside can only see this" she push a button and a metal panel falls down and close off all the corridors from those four corridors with only her in it now, Frank standing on the otherside of it not able to get to that corridor now. "Startor to Elm" she use her ear piece "Corridor 9 to 13 is clear bring him up"
---
"Thank you Startor" Elm push the button and the doors close the lift going up with all three inside. "Evan after we let Littlefoot out into his home, we will get things ready for our special guest so they not seen by anyone"
"Wow we going up" Littlefoot saw the ground getting feather away from the glass view then it turn to a round wall as it kept going up "what lvl 10?"
"me and Startor eyes only to see you and your friends tomorrow, since Evan seen you his the only lvl 9 and lvl 10 clearance personal that can see you as well, if others see you and your friends you will be overwhelmed with questions poke and should I go on?"
Littlefoot didn't like that idea at all "I understand, I don't like to be treated like something to be touched all over because of being a Longneck..." he felt sick of that idea "how many lvl 9 clearance humans are there?"
"8 including me and Startor, 10 in total. But we can't make sure that they will keep their mouths shut. So safe to only have 3 of us seeing you" Littlefoot nods liking that idea what Elm said.
"OK that cool" Littlefoot replied happily.
-
Petrie shook his head, "No, me no see Littlefoot dad. Him hard to miss. We no see Littlefoot." Petrie said with concern in his voice.
Ducky Nodded her head, "Yes, and we are wondering where he is, we are, we are." She said. "Maybe he went off to explore on his own and got lost."
Chomper thought for a moment then his face brightened up, "Then we'll just have to go and find him with my sniffer." He said. He started to sniff the air then he took off in a direction. "Come on, I smell that he was over here."
Petrie took to the air and flew not far above where Chomper was while Ducky ran behind and did her best to keep up with Chomper. He wasn't much larger then she was so it wasn't very hard for her to keep up.
-
"Hmm the mystery into lvl 10 deepens,' said frank to himself. "it reminds me of my old air force days pilots like me are too stupid to think for ourselves so we just gotta keep our mouths shut when they tell us to,' said frank. "So I'm just gonna go to the game room nothing calms me down better,' said frank.
-
The lift stops and the door opens "Wow it bright as the bright circl..." Littlefoot then saw Startor "Hey I saw you before, everytime I saw you and went to where you was you was gone"
"Glad you know each other then" Elm chuckled as they exit the lift "Littlefoot this way please"
Startor walks just to the left of Littlefoot while they walk down the closed off corridors "Yes Littlefoot I know, because I was asked to make no contact with dinosaurs in the Great Valley just to see if the systems we placed out there worked at normal rates"
"Oh so that what the shiny thing was, it was one of your watching things" Littlefoot said as they came to the hatch on corridor 13 on Floor 0.
"This is the hatch" Elm push a set of codes in and the hatch unlocks and opens up to the waste land of dead plants and trees from the fire that destoryed them ages ago
"Wow thanks, I'll be back here by midday brightcirle right?" Littlefoot turn to them
"Yes indeed, only bring your friends if they can be trusted" Elm said to him
"Yes and try to not tell any of the adults... all we need is a panic" Startor muttered "take care and laters Littlefoot" Startor turns and walk down the corridor
Littlefoot walks outside then look back at them "thanks for getting me out of that place and getting me back in the Great Valley, your all really kind"
"Not all humans are... there some bad ones like there good and bad dinosaurs" Elm replied.
"So your not much different to us in some ways" Littlefoot turn to Evan "Thanks as well Evan."
-
"Sure thing, no prob!" Evan said to Littlefoot. "It was very nice too get to meet you." he smiled.
"I hope we meet again tomorrow."
"And I'm sorry if I was too... enthusiatic, the way of a young scientist!" he chuckled.
"Take care now, off you go." he waved his hand.
-----
"Thanks." He turned and said to Elm. "I understand if this was... not fully according to the plan, but...Thanks alot for letting me... be part of this!" he smiled.
"And I hope I was of some use back there..." he said, kicked some gravel and scratched his neck.
"May I ask, what would you have me do now?" "What's the time?"
"By the way, Hi Startor!"
Evan suddenly realised that he hadn't eaten for hours.
Oh, starving! he thought and took up a can of water from his sidepack.
-
Frank enterd the flight sim part of the game room and saw someone working on the F-14 sim. "Hey what do two rival pilots do when they meet,' he asked "They dogfight,' replied the other cracking his neck at frank. "How ya doing blaze,' asked frank. "I'm doing well raptor,' replied mitch. "So wanna dogfight,' asked blaze. "Naw let's go to the cafe and ask if anyone there wants too,' said frank. "alright let's go,' said blaze. They started for the cafe. (Note my characters are calling each other by their callsigns.)
-
"Alright see you" Littlefoot said happily and watched Elm touch some keys on the panel that opened the hatch
"See you and your friends tomorrow" Elm said and push the green button the hatch moves across then moves out and match the rock face perfectly with a hiss the hatch was sealed.
Littlefoot touched it with his front foot then step back a few steps "Wow it prefectly match the rest of the rocks and feel like a rock, if I didn't watch that happen I would have never guess this was something that open and close" Littlefoot saw some path in the dirt "That how I'll find the way in" Littlefoot then heard some moment turning around he saw the others and went over to them "Hey guys" Littlefoot saw that hole and went around it this time and came up to them before they came too far into the waste land area he slid to a stop right in front of them.
----
"How about we get something to eat then call it a night Evan" Elm said to him as the corridor metal panels raised back up. "It close to 7pm, sunset will be around 40 minutes from now" Elm looked at his watch as they walk to the cafe.
-
The group being lead by Chomper were heading straight towards the air vent where Littlefoot had fallen in since his scent that Chomper was following lead there. Once Chomper saw Littlefoot he stopped following his scent and instead ran towards him.
"Littlefoot." Chomper said glad to see him. He went over to hug him, at least the part of him that he could reach. Petrie flew over and hovered nearby.
"Me glad see you. Where you go?" Petrie asked a bit curious.
Ducky ran up a few seconds later and went over nearby Littlefoot, "Did you go exploring on your own and get lost?" Ducky asked with some concern in her voice, "Or did the bullies chase you?" She asked, being a bit afraid of the bullies and avoiding them whenever she could.
-
"Nope nothing like that. I got something to tell you guys but you got to promise to tell no one not even our parents. It must be a sceret between us lot only" Littlefoot said look to them all "you guys got to really promise that you won't say a word to anyone else." Littlefoot plended to them before he could tell them what happened to him and who he met.
-
"We promise, we do. What is the secret?" Ducky asked, curious and wanting to know the secret and what Littlefoot had been up to.
"Me promise, no tell." Petrie said, also knowing some things were best keep secret. "Some secrets best no tell parents."
"Sure, I promise," Chomper said, "It would be hard for me to tell my parents even if I wanted to." He said. "What is the secret Littlefoot, have you found a way into the hidden canyon with those icky smelling tree sweets?" Chomper asked.
-
Littlefoot looked to Ruby, Cera, Spike and waits to see if they promise as well.
(I notice that the person that do Cera don't seem to post as much as the other people using the other charcaters. Spike can nod to promise, anyone could do that, Ruby and Cera got to promise for the next bit to happen)
-
Frank entered the cafe with mitch and sat down "So you've heard about the cancled flights around the island,' he asked mitch. "Yeah I've heard about them,' replied mitch. "So want will ya have,' asked frank. mitch replied "I think I'll have a chocolate milkshake'. "Waiter two chocolate milkshakes,' said frank.
-
Spike finished what he was eating. He then got an expression on his face showing he was thinking of what Littlefoot had said. Then he got a smile on his face and made a sound while nodding his head.
(OOC: Maybe those doing Cera & Ruby forgot they were doing them. Kjeldo has been doing Cera and Ruby has been done by Littlefot. Being busy I can see some forgetting who they are doing. ))
-
(we at a stand still till someone do Cera and Ruby......)
-
(OOC Kjeldo has not posted since page 7, not sure if he left the rp or not. I could do Cera or do a 1 shot post of Cera if you want to help move the rp along instead of having it be stopped here, then Kjeldo can take her back or someone else can, up to you. As for Ruby Littlefot is active in this rp thread so maybe he can do a post for her when he's on next, depending when he has time and such. ))
-
(Yeah that be a cool idea for now, but once Kjeldo comes back Cera back in Kjeldo's hand :) and Littlefot can help doing Ruby if he up for it till Kjeldo gets back to joining in on this RPG)
-
Cera looked at Littlefoot. "No fair your having a secret. Yea," she says in a slightly annoyed voice, "I promise not to tell them." Then in a slightly more annoyed voice and looking off towards the main area of the great valley, "Not that it would do any good anyway. They would probably just argue if one of them mentioned that water is wet or the sky is blue with the others arguing that it's not. I never understand why they act like that. Why can't they get along like we do."
"Maybe it is because they were not friends like we are when they were our age. It could be." Ducky said.
Petrie landed next to Ducky and looked at Cera then the others. "Me hope we no argue like them when we are grown ups. Me no wanna argue with you guys." Petrie said looking a bit sad at the idea.
Ducky patted Petrie on the shoulder, "Maybe we will get along when we are all grown up like we do now, we can." Ducky said in a reassuring voice to Petrie trying to reassure him.
"Me hope so." Petrie said feeling a bit better.
Spike had started to grow a bit bored and was looking around to see if there was any green food to eat and starting to sniff to see where the nearest bit was.
-
"Yeah..." Littlefoot nods then look to Ruby and as soon she promised he could tell them about the humans he met.
-
"You know blaze it's hard being the last two of our squadron,' said frank. "Yeah I know raptor,' said mitch. "It's a bummer that we can't fly around the island now,' said mitch. "Yeah I know but orders are orders,' said frank."It's only a matter of time till we make contact with these creatures,' said frank. "Why don't we share old war stories later,' suggested mitch. "Yeah with those who want to listen,' said frank.
-
OCC:( Sorry, my friends sorta kidnapped me yesterday :rolleyes: I'm the one doing Ruby, :yes )
---------------------------
"You know you can trust me Littlefoot! Now tell us the secretly secret of yours!" Ruby said smiling.
---------------------------
Evan nodded and went to the cafe' with Elm and Startor.
-
"Alright guys!" Littlefoot smiled then turn to the vent then look back at them "just over there is a hole a round on that goes all the way to this cool underground valley that has all sorts of strange plants growing and it nice and warm there as well. It also has this bright light of it own, not sure how but it there" Littlefoot explained "Then I met these two creatures called humans, they live in a hidden life inside the Great Wall that they made their home in it and perfectly hide it from us that it looks and feel like rock but if you look just right behind me you see a bit of shiny on the floor that the hard stuff that all over the place in their home they called a Complex. the ones I met are really nice but they are the only ones that can talk and see us because of this ting called a clearance level at 10 I think, but they invitied us all to come and see the Rainbow Faces wake up from inside frozen water tomorrow." Littlefoot went on and on explaining best he can and sounding very sure of it and really enjoyed the experience in there.
"That why we can't tell the adults... because you know how they react to big differences to our life in the Valley and other creatures own type of lifestyle... remember those Rainbow Faces and how Mr Threehorn reacted to new possible ideas..." Littlefoot remembered him yelling at them both and not giving a chance to see a possible difference to life outside their own. "So what do you think guys? like to see the humans tomorrow? they really not bad, there three of them we will meet, Elm and Evan and this girl called Startor but she seem to be one of those get things done and never mind about having fun kind" Littlefoot finished telling them. "So you like to see them tomorrow?"

"You know blaze I'm still the better pilot, said frank. "What are ya talking about I'm the better pilot,' retorted mitch. "Remember korea,' asked frank "Remember vietnam,' asked mitch. "yeah... I remember,' said frank.
-
Startor listened to them since she was going to the game room "So they think they had hell... try flying a chomper through a city with a huge wave behind you and the buildings falling down all around you..." Startor whispers and close her eyes remembering as the wave of 2010 smashing through all the buildings in New York City and she poilting the chomper with people on board trying to keep ahead of the wave.
"But that was the past and now it the present. The New Earth Alliance has to work for humans to survive and to not interfer with the dinosaurs but I worry about this movement called the Dino Isorlation group... they been threating to do something to the people that work here in these complexs all over the islands... there kids living in them as well... it always the same, they think they doing right and causing more harm..." Startor opened her eyes and spoke sliently to herself about problems coming up now. "We survived and rebuilding yet others would rather destory progress then work a solituation out. But the perfect energy the Type Zic Reactor the cleariest power source in the world and unlimited power that harmless to all." she then comes around to them still talking.
"Well boys are you up for a challenge in your little flight fighting game. Because you met your match" Startor smirks then walk by them and stop "Unless your afaird to lose to a lady" she walks in knowing it would spark their attendation.
-
'Wait! Are you three going to the game room? Why don't you try us at DDR?' Vylor said as he passed by the group.
-
Frank and mitch walked up to the group "Hey if you are going to the game room why not challenge us old timers to a dogfight in the flight sims,' said frank "That is if you're brave enough,' said mitch. "So any of you up to it,' asked frank.
-
"Alright then you got a challenge" Startor said with a calm voice.
-
Ricktor had gone back to his room. He was looking for something important, but couldn't find it anywhere. 'Naturally, the one time I go looking for anything...it disappears. Typical!' He sighed in frustration and looked around one more time before deciding that asking for help would be a much better idea.
"I need help...and I have no idea where anybody is...well I suppose if I just start wandering aimlessly I'm bound to bump into somebody eventually." And with that Ricktor turned, walked out of his room and down the hall looking for someone to help him.
~~~~~
(OOC: I'm not sure where I left Longtail, but I'm sure he was close to the rest of the gang...oh well when in doubt IMPROVISE! :DD )
Longtail was leaning on a tree close to where Littlefoot was showing the others the hole that led to the underground something or other. He wasn't too interested at the moment as he had missed his breakfast and was now getting irritated.
But he didn't want to interrupt Littlefoot from talking so he sat back and just listened. After he was finished Longtail nodded his head and replied, "Sure...I wouldn't mind. It even sounds like fun. I wonder what these humans...look like."
-
"I would, I would. It always nice to meet new friends, but what do they look like?" Ducky asked, curious about what they looked like and not wanting to wait till tomorrow to find out. She then looked at Spike, "You want to meet them too don't you Spike." Spike nodded, not minding about meeting them, and hoping there would be some green food nearby and when they'd get near some green food. "I remember the rainbow faces. Some of the grown ups did not seem to like them or their questions and ways to talking. They seemed nice though." Ducky said thinking and remembering their encounters with the rainbowfaces from before, "And the underground valley sounds, nice, but a little scary maybe." She said.
Chomper nods, "I would, it sounds neat." Then he started thinking, "Humans, maybe that is what I've been smelling. I've been smelling something sometimes that I've not smelled before, but whenever I go over to see what it is it seems to run away, like Hidden Runner did when Cera got close, but I've never been able to get close enough to see one of them." He then spoke partially to himself, "It smelled like 1 person, maybe one of the ones that Littlefoot met." He said. Chomper sniffed at the vent, "Yep, I can smell some of the same kind, but different ones, like they were there but are not now." He said. "And some unusual smells too coming from down there.
"No fair, Longtail should have to promise too." Cera said, then she looked at Chomper, "It wasn't my fault Hidden Runner ran away, I just said hello." She said, she then looked over at Littlefoot, " I just hope these humans, as you call them, are nice and it's not a trick or something." She stepped a step closer to Littlefoot still looking at him, "Are you sure they are not sharpteeth of some kind? And a hard ground inside, maybe it's just like the ground of a cave, that is hard. And those rainbowfaces... they always sounded like they new everything and talked in jibberish."
Petrie looked at Littlefoot, "Me can't wait, but are you sure they are not scary looking?" Petrie asked with a concerned expression on his face. He then looked at Cera with a mix of a hint of fear and amusement, "Me can understand Hidden Runner, Cera scary sometimes." Petrie said. Then Petrie nodded at the mention of the rainbow faces, "Me remember them, but me no understand what they say at times. But me do wonder what he meant by enormous black, enormous black what.. enormous black sharptooth?" Petrie said getting a bit scared at imagining what the male rainbowface was going to say when he was interrupted by the female.
Ducky nodded, "She can be scary, she can, she can." Ducky said nodding in agreement.
"Hey." Cera said looking at the two of them.
"It is ok Cera, we only mean you are often nice, but you are very good at being scary." She said. Cera grumbled a bit, not sure how to respond and letting it slide.
Cera looked back at Littlefoot, "So when are we going to meet these... humans.. as you call them anyway?"
-
Frank and the others entered the sim room and adorned WWII flight gear. "Ok mitch and I will be the germans Startor you Evan and the professer will be the allies since you're all new we will not fly the ME-262 or the Volksjager which were jets developed by the germans durning the war we'll be flying the FW-190 a piston driven fighter,' said frank. "In addition we will all have AI wingmen your and your wingmens job in this battle will be to protect the bombers from we and our wingmen while we try to shoot the bombers down,' said mitch as evan startor and the professer entered the P-51 sim cockpits frank and mitch showed them the controls and explained to them military pilot terms. "All right let's get this started,' said frank who started the sim.
-
Longtail looked to Cera and said "I shouldn't even have to tell you by now. I'm a flyer, we can always keep our secrets and promises." He then looked down the hole and said "Yeah...nothing against goin gdown a slide, but are you sure it's safe?"
___________________
Ricktor was still wandering the halls when he stped into the game room. He gave a small smile as he sadi "Well...that figures. He then stood aside and waited for the flight simulator battle to end.
"I wonder who's going to win?" he asked aloud
-
Cera looked at the hole in the ground that was the vent, "So how do we meet these mysterious friends of yours, by jumping down this hole?" Cera said.
"Could be fun. That how we meet Rocky & the others." Petrie said. Looking at the hole he then said, "It no look dark so not scary."
"That is how we met the tiny longnecks Skitter & Lizzy so maybe we have to meet these humans the same way." Ducky said.
Cera got an annoyed expression on her face, "I'm not going to be jumping down any strange holes to meet people."
-
Frank lined up a AI B-17 and fired the 20mm cannons undernieth the wing of his plane shooting it down. Almost immedietly after he shot the bomber down he sighted tracer fire comming from behind him. Breaking right he caught some in his wing he looked and saw a P-51 coming from behind him. he had seen his opponents shoot down 7 AI controled FW-190's. "They're good and impressive,' he said to himself.
-
Evan finished his meal.
He grabed himself a cup of coffe and decided to go to the gameroom. He'd like some company.
---------------------------
"I've never heard of humans before!" Ruby said with curiosity in her voice.
"I would gladly like to meet with them!"
-------
"Why is that Cera?" You don't know, it could be fun!" "And the only way to find out about how these humans are, is to jump into the hole where these humans are!"
-
Frank looked down at the fuel gauge and noticed it was just about on E. He knew mitch had been downed by the ocean of swear words over the raido. He then saw another AI controled B-17. He took his plane into a dive and rammed the bomber where the tail section met the wings. The AI controled plane broke in two. The challenge had ended startor had won. frank and mitch got out of the cockpits of their planes.
-
Luis sighed as he watched the dogfight on the screen in front of him.
"Whew. Those guys are good. I'm impressed..."
He said...
Shane, meanwhile, was busying himself with the fighting games in the corner of the arcade.
"Alright! I win again! Dang, I'm good!"
He cheered as he beat his latest computer opponent...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante shook his head, quietly saying...
"Humans? ...I have a bad feeling about this..."
Then spoke up, saying to the others...
"Yeah. It might be fun! Let's go check it out eventually, huh?"
-
(Dante? in the last lot of posts there been no word of a Dante being with Littlefootand his friends. You can't just throw in someone just like that out of the blue, Longtail was possible cause he was already looking for them and arrived shortly after Littlefoot was found with the others. But Charcaters poping out of thin air like that from no where is not going to work. So could you scap that part with Dante please and I'd be ignoring that part as well sorry, but his not there with them since they arrived in the waste land talking to Littlefoot.
All I am aware of there is Littlefoot... Chomper... Longtail... Ruby... Cera... Ducky... Spike... Petrie... no other charcaters...
So a little reminder to all, please read the dozen of so posts back to make sure mistakes can't be made. I gather you didn't relise StarfallRaptor, so don't worry about it.)
Startor was using a chopper as her main attack and doing better then others would of thought since she got frowns when she selected the chopper "Am I showing you boys up if I am I'll stop now" she just kept getting big scores and not even trying since she played this game about 400 times over ever since it was placed in the complex and when no one was around.
----
Littlefoot shook his head "you don't have to go down that hole, tomorrow they will open that rock wall up and let us in, as for being Sharpteeth... I don't think they are since they growing all sorts of strange green food and other weird foods that grow from the ground." Littlefoot said and explained.
"That what down in that hole, as for the humans, they seem to have some sort of protective fake skins over their bodies and feet, they stand striaght have no tails different colour skins like one was like a pinkish colour and the other dark brown but they have fluffy stuff on their heads as well." Littlefoot try to explain what the humans looked like the best he could describe them. "They talked our words and they was kind and took me to a way out of the place they live in" Littlefoot finished talking to them explaining it and see what the seven before him thought.
-
"Yeah we've had enough,' said mitch. "Yeah we old timers need a break,' said frank. "And startor you've got the skill of a fighter pilot,' said frank. Frank and mitch walked off to their room.
-
"Well if they knew the half of what I been through they'll know why I am so skilled, but information was lost when the Data systems of the worlds computers crashed and we started to rebuild with what we had" Startor whispered remembering more of the choas soon after the massive floodings of coastly and river cities all over the world.
-
"Fluffy stuff on their heads? That sounds like Tickles, but he had it all over his body, he did." Ducky said.
Chomper nods to what Littlefoot said, "No sharptooth would be interested in green food, it tastes icky to us and some of it smells bad, or worst like the ones in the hidden meadow and very few sharpteeth know the flattooth language." Chomper said, remembering how the smell of the treesweets in the hidden meadow effected him and other sharpteeth.
"They eat green food they no sharptooth. Maybe they nice, friendly." Petrie said, "Me can no wait to meet them." He said.
"Maybe they are nice, but I won't believe it till I meet them and see for myself, as for an underground valley, how can green food grow there when the bright circle is out here?" She asked. "Strange smelling, like some of the green food on the island where we met Chomper for the second time and met Elsie?"
"Maybe holes in ground bring light of bright circle to underground valley and green food." Petrie said.
-
"Not sure but there was bright light on the tops of the underground valley and it was nice and warm." Littlefoot replied. "But the valley did have it own light, water and warminess. Feel that air coming up. it from the hidden Valley" Littlefoot said and they wasn't near the hole at the moment but did feel the warmth coming from it.
---
Elm finished his meal at the cafe having a talk with Evan "Here is a map of the complex. It should help you not get lost, everyone getting one when they get to their rooms. So have a nice evening alright Evan. I got to get some last minute work finished" Elm gets up and leaves the cafe.
-
Gregg stood up from his table and sat down at Evan's "Well how your first day been? I seen some of the new members at the games room. but not you, so did the Professor give you a tour?" Gregg said to him pushing something in his pocket and put his hands on his cup drinking some coffee.
-
Frank and mitch got back their room. An attendent walked up to frank and said "Sir message from command'. Frank read the message and swore in german apoun finishing it. "Sorry mitch I've got to find professer Elm,'. "Message from headquaters,' mitch asked. "Sorry you know I can't speak of it,' replied frank. "I know,' said mitch. Frank ran off to find Elm and thought to himself "This Dino Isorlation group really gets on my nerves'.
-
"Startor, I never knew that you are such a good pilot. We're no pilots, but you are well-trained. Why don't you try the DDR machine we set up." Argaya said.
-
"It sounds like a nice place, it does, it does." Ducky said, wanting to get a look inside.
"Light in underground valley, it no scary." Petrie said, not minding seeing it or going into some brightly lit underground valley, especially if his friends were going to be there too.
"Yea, well I guess we'll all see soon enough." Cera said.
-
Littlefoot nods "Why dont we all go play for now" Littlefoot suggested "Not it" Littlefoot tags with his snout Cera
---
Elm came to his office when he saw Frank coming up to him "Aw Frank I hope you got your clearance lvl 9 from Startor, sorry for all the delay, I had important issues to address and the New World Alliance officers at the Harbour took their time in aproving you to lvl 9." Elm spoke to him
--
Startor looked at the machine "Not today, I had my fun, I got some rest to have before tomorrow. So thanks and goodnight" Startor then toss her a seed which she caught "I found that a few days ago in the Great Valley, I believe that should be a start to your resreach, just grow it not cut it up. I rather see what type of plant it is" Startor smirked and left.
-
"Yeah I got it it probbaly took a while for approval after what happened during my last flight getting spotted and all,' said frank. "Just got a message from command,' said frank handing elm the message.
-
"Well I gather you read it. Tell me what is says" Elm enters his office and put the letter on the table looking to Frank.
-
"it appears the dino Isorlation group are mobilzing forces on an island a few miles from here it appears they want to take control of this facility,' said frank.
-
'Whoa! Thanks. We'll go check it out right now.' Vylor said, and he and Argaya rushed out of the room towards the elevator.
-
"I won't be it for long." Cera said as she started to chase after Littlefoot. Ducky and the others ran off to try to not be it as well, with Petrie flying low to the ground as per the agreed upon rules to not fly to high.
(ooc: Or at least I assume they'd come up with some sort of special rules like that, no fllyers flying to high, and maybe swimmers not going into deep water to prevent being tagged it. ))
-
"Thank you for the information, the navel forces should take care of them but if they don't we always have protocal niner that will seal all complexs and the harbour off and automatic cannons raising out of the sea to fire on incoming dino Isorlation group ships" Elm said to Frank "THis is all lvl 10 information but I trust you to tell you this. So we go on as normal like this isn't happening at all."
"Is that good news for you?" Elm said to him calmly.
-
"Yes it is,' said frank. Frank left Elms office and got back to his room "Well what was the message about,' asked mitch "Sorry blaze that info is classified,' said frank.
-
Elm sighed turning his chair to his computer and access deeper information"Lvl 11 code 1992. Voice print Professor Elm"
"Confirmed. Access lvl 11 data." a image appears of data on a gas form.
"Copy this to the removerable drive" the data then stored into the drive attached to the computer
"Complete" Elm takes the drive out then said "Shut down lvl 11 code 1992" the computer then shuts down to normal operations he gets up and leaves to office "I hope the NEA (New Earth Alliance) are mistaken by this" he mutters as he head to his personal lab."
-
"Evan I heard there was some lvl 10 happened at corridor 9 to 13, was there anything cool went on there?" Gregg asked another question hoping to get something from Evan since he was new around.
-
Frank reached his room and sighed as he started to drink a bottle of water. He knew if they DIG (dino Isorlation group) aircraft were able to penetrate the air defences it would be up to the him mitch and the few pilots staiooned at the base to drive them off. "well I guess I could get some sleep,' said frank before dozing off.
-
Ricktor had finally found and dragged Shane back to his room to help him look for his device. He then said "This sucks...I still can't believe I lost it in two days!"
He then turned to Shane and asked "Do you remember where I had it last...or where I could've dropped it?"
______________
Longtail followed after the others and said "If Cera's it...we may be playing this game for a long time. Seeing as how she's so slow!"
He then swooped down and in front of Cera waving his tail and laughing while doing so.
-
"I'm not slow." Cera said in an annoyed voice as she made a jump at Longtail to try to tag him as it.
Ducky & Petrie were keeping an eye on Cera as they attempted to get away to a very safe distance. Spike started off doing that then found a very tasty looking bush.
-
Evan looked at Gregg, and said,
"Um, I'm not good with these things, so I can't really tell... Just some special breifing with Elm that was very crucial."
he said, hoping that the answer would be enough to make Gregg stop asking him questions of that kind.
I guess I should keep my mouth shut, untill Elm gives clearence...
---------------------------------------
Ruby set off running on a safe distance from Cera.
-
damn he not going to bite
"guess that very important that the Professor made you not tell anyone." Gregg replied with a sigh "stationed here for 3 months now and still no intel on what going on around the Professor's lvl." Gregg muttered hoping that be enough to make him say something small important at least.
If I don't get much more information for DIG I am going to end up as failing and that the last thing I want
---
Littlefoot watch Cera jump at Longtail "she a very good jumper." Littlefoot tried to warn Longtail as she made the leap at him.
-
Evan looked at his watch.
"Oh! Um, I'm sorry Gregg but I have to rush! I have think of something good! to sit down and write some stuff in my journal! Excuse me!"
Evan sat off towards his place.
Terrible excuse...
-
Damn it so close... wait... "did he say journal..." Gregg whispers with a smirk then turns off the recording device from his pocket I might be still in luck
-
Evan got back to his place.
He sat down on the bed for a couple of seconds, regaining his breath after running.
Close one!
I wonder why he keeps asking? Why don't ask Elm himself?
He sighed, then brought up his notebook to begin the journal entry.
-
Elm stood in his lab looking at the data "So they still working on it. that is good to know. but this data shows they manage to collect dinosaur blood, only blood is in Complex Gamma 9 at the Triceratops Peak. (Threehorn Peak) I better contact my old friend Hex and let him know there may be a DIG operurtive working there" Elm goes over to his commucation screen and activate it.
"Professor Hex I got some bad news" Elm begun soon as he saw Hex on the screen.
"That something I don't want to hear" Hex replied "go ahead..."
"Someone at lvl 9 in Gamma 9 is taking blood samples, it the only clue to this" Elm points to the display behind him.
"I see. thank you for the heads up. It will take time... there 9 people that work in the bloods samplying lab alone... all lvl 9 clearance. I will keep a close eye on them and if needed let them know so we can see if one panic" hex replied
"Good to hear. tell me of anything new." Hex nods and ends the channel and elm turns the screen off and gets back to doing some paper work for the new comers but he attenation was draw to Gregg's profile "another request to go to lvl 9 from 8... that the 12th one this month..." he started to wonder as night starts to set in outside in the valley as the sun drifts behind the Great Wall.
-
Longtail heard Littlefoots warning too late as he felt Cera grab him and pull him down to the ground. He landed with an thud and opened his eyes for a moment as he was still stunned from the fall.
He heard laughter and asked "Okay, so I'm it now right?"
-
"Yep" Littlefoot laughed and so did the others how Cera tagged Longtail but the ended when Mr Threehorn called out
"Cera it time to come home!" Mr Threehorn bellowed out
-
"Okay, goodbye Cera!" Ruby said and waved bye to her.
"It's starting to get late, maybe You and I, Chomper, should be getting back to our caves before it gets late?" Ruby said and yawned, she was tired and feelt like it was time to call it a day.
-
Frank got up and walked to his office to look over the latest intelligence which wasn't much of the DIG forces. "It seems they have some serriuos firepower" he said to himself as he read the file. "NEA may want a recon mission done to see everything they have,' he said to himself.
-
"Goodnight guys, gottta go." She said to the others then ran off to where her father was calling her from, "Coming." She said so he'd know she heard and was coming.
Chompe laughed at how Longtail was tagged then he yawned then looked at Ruby nodding, "Yes, it may be best to head back, though it seems to always be right when we're having the most fun we everyone has to go to their nests and sleep."
Ducky climbed onto Spike who had stopped eating to laugh a bit good naturally with those who did at how Cera tagged Longtail then to say goodnight in his usual way as the others were having to head off to their nests & heard his and Ducky's mother calling him.
"Goodnight everyone, we'll meet tomorrow for more fun, I now we will." Ducky said as she waved to the others, and Spike did so also in his own way that he usually did before he and Ducky headed off.
"Mee no tired." Petrie said as he yawned. "Me see you soon." He said to the others and flew off towards his where his mother was as he heard her calling while flying.
-
Elm got a messenge just moments ago for a recon flight and they picked Frank for it. He was heading to Frank and arrived at the office "Frank it Elm. I got a important mission for you" he enters the room and hands the letter over to Frank from ENA
---
Startor walked to a hatch and enter a code it opens a rocky opening into a cavern on Caves then she walks out and pushing a button on her belt it closes up and she walked up to the place Chomper sleeps and sits in the shadows of the cave no one could see her. But for over 3 months she came here every night to have a one on one talk with Chomper since he already spotted her ages ago and kept a promise to not tell anyone but they had a little friendly talk almost every night soon after Ruby was fast asleep and they would take a walk in the caverns behind. Another calm night and tomorrow Chomper will be a big day Startor said in her thoughts
-
Frank read the message and said "well it's night fall so all the dinos will be asleep.' "So I'll need something fast and stealthy so their radar doesn't pick me up I'll be taking my personalized F-22 put cameras in the missle bays and load some ammo in the guns just in case,' said frank to a attendent. Yes sir replied the attendentwho saluted frank. Frank returned the salute and ran to his room to get his flight suit on.
-
Elm stood there in the hanger looking at the jet fighter then walk into the changing room "your flight will be in 2 hours. Total night fall will be then, you will head dur south soon your in the air that is the quickest route we gathered from data and less amount of dinosaurs in that path as well around 2 hours from now." Elm explained to Frank "Just come back alive... no crazy stuff, simple camera deployment with radar tracking nothing more." Elm said to him.
-
"Ok will do,' said frank. frank looked at his jet black fighter and said jokeingly "besides they won't be able to see me on radar or visaully,'.
-
The others, Petrie, Ducky, & Spike, made their ways to their parents nests and were soon or not so soon, asleep.
Chomper awoke, having been only lightly dozing, as soon as he smelled the familiar smell. He got up and made his way over to where he smelled the person to be. Speaking as low and as quiet as he could so as not to wake up Ruby and so only the two of them could hear he said, "Hello."
-
Frank walked out by the main hanger door and watch the sun set. "In a few hours I'll be heading toward the DIG base,' he said to himself. "With 50 rounds to each cannon and all the camera equitment in my plane I'm unfit to dogfight I've just got to get in and out quickley,' he thought to himself.
-
After everyone had said their goodbyes Longtail had taken to the trees to sleep in for the night. Sadly his bad habit of falling out of trees when sleeping didn't seem to ever go away. As he slept soundly, his body rolled over the edge of the branch and he fell.
He landed of course on his head with a 'whack' sound. He blinked several times and noticed someone. He stood up and quietly walked over until he could see who it was...and he smiled as it was Chomper.
He walked over and whispered to him "What are you doing out here so late? Shouldn't you be sleeping Chomper?"
-
the two hours passed quickly as frank waited he was finally given the green light to proceed after the sunset had ended and the moon was up frank climbed into his plane and began pre flight checks. "Alright the sun's set completley let's get airborne,' said frank. "Vlazgriz 1 you are cleared for take off' the air control officer said. "Vlazgriz 1 here rodger that,' replied frank. He slowly applied power to the Pratt & Whitney F119 engines moving down the runway as he reached take off speed he pulled the stick back and flew off into the night sky turning south before slamming the throttle to maxinum and flying south. the officer said to elm "I wonder just how many forces the DIG have'.
-
"Hello Chomper..." Chomper walks off into the cavern with Startor coming with him out of view of Longtail niether of them hearing Longtail either "I met one of your friends today, Littlefoot. only for a few moments" she turn her head down a bit to look at the little Sharptooth Chomper.
----
"If what was caught by systems in the sky is correct about 150 DIG and a very small heavy force that a chopper, most of the very warfare units fell into the oceans when the waters raised" Elm replied "It a very tiny force, they must know we don't have much a real defence... but it enough to hold them off but they must be waiting for something... something here" Elm whispers then look at the officer "I will be in my labs, contact me on any new reports" Elm leaves.
-
Grank rubbed his eyes he was almost to the DIG base he reminded himself to stay awake. "Alright DIG island base in sight,' he said to himself. As he was just about overe the island he opened the missle bay door where the camera was. as he was just about finished he noticed the symbol on the some of the planes were very familer. "Let's get a shot of those,' he thought. Almost immedietly after the missle alert went off. He saw a SAM being launched and two aircraft taking off. "Damn I've been spotted,' he said as he closed the bay door and rocketed north back to base. the planes taking off were russian made SU-47's the lead called out on the raido "We've got clearence to engage splash all NEA aircraft,'. "Rodger engaging all NEA aircraft,' replied the second pilot.
-
Chomper nods, "He talked about the underground valley that he was in. He liked it and told us about a meeting tomorrow, after we promised not to tell the grown ups." He said, wondering if this or what the conversation would be.
________________________
(ooc: If you want to rp Longtail with someone at night you can have him see Mim or if Threehorn would prefer I not do her since she is an oc and a rainbowface I could do someone else, maybe Mr. Thicknose. Up to you GVG ))
-
"Yes indeed that is correct my little friend" Startor said and pulls out a choclate bar in wrapping and taking it off she broke a bit and knees down to Chomper handing him a piece "As promised a piece of choclate" she said to him with a smirk
---
In the DIG Recon Unit that was stationed on the Island the ones spoke to the fighters was in there and in the shadows sat the boss of DIG he looked at the data about the southern defences "IDIOT!" the one that gave clearance to engange jumped out of his seat looking at the dark spot of the small room "You stupid mammal! look at the data we gathered and what did I say about enganging NEA forces" then he look to another and points the claw tip with greenish scales finger pointed right at another.
He got up and saluted "Not to engage without your promission SIR! And NEA forces around the dinosaur mainland out number us 20 to 1 SIR!"
"Sit" the person sits down and the boss gets up showing a Rainbow Face snout in the light looking right at the man that gave the clearance "I got something speical for you, take him and use the DCURE on him he will make a nice new Rainbow Face that way he'll have more brains then idiotinece that will go a long way for the Dinosaur Islatation Group." the boss said with a smirk the guards grabbing him and taking him to the doors "Call off the planes and destory the sam missile. no questions" he sits back down into the dark corner only a few of the DIG people ever saw who their boss really looked like and many dare not ask questions about it since they could end up having the DCURE.
----
The missile was closing in and suddenly explodes and what else both fighters pull off and head back to the island.
(Mr Thicknose has no one doing it at the moment and not so sure about Mim, since Elm and no other human caught a Rainbow Face walking around and Littlefoot saying he rarely seen any and last time he saw two was the same around the time they went to sleep and woke with ice melting everywhere. hope the recap of some posts back help ya Kor)
(Also if you notice the twist, let me know if that ok. it was just a idea that popped up about who the boss is of the DIG.)
-
Frank saw the planes withdraw and the missle explode and said to himself while smirking "I guess my reputation scared them off.' He began to fly back to base and thought "what 'they' doing here.' "It may also be because of my subcarriers are close by,' said frank to himself. (Yeah the twist is good I like it)
-
(Nice twist Threehorn! I like it.)
Longtail could still see Chomper, and it looked like he was talking to someone, but he couldn't see who. And to be honest he was too tired to care. He turned around and started walking alone through the valley until he literally bumped into Mr Thicknose.
"Oh I'm sorry sir. I'm trying to get back to sleep, but it doesn't seem to be working too well. What are you doing up so early?"
He wasn't trying to be nosey but he was curious and Mr. Thicknose seemed like answering questions.
________________
Ricktor shot out of his bed and hit the floor face first as his alarm clock went off. "Crap. I thought I turned you off...Oh well since I'm up might as well practice my Tai Chi."
He then set himself in the center of the room and started to practice his martial arts.
-
"Gee, thanks." Chomper said as he accepted the Chocolate and ate it, "Delicious." He said. What would you like to talk about?" Chomper asked.
______
Mr Thicknose was looking up at the sky then turned to look at Longtail, "Having sleeping problems again? Sometimes a nice warm soak in some warm water helps one to relax." He said.
"As for why I"m up so early, sometimes I wake up early or stay up late to enjoy looking at the night lights. Some things can be seen only at night, some only at day. Though something seems different, very different." He said as he turned to look back at the night lights, if any are visible anymore.
"But that wouldn't likely interest a young one such as yourself," Mr Thicknose said as he turned to look at Longtail again, "you must be very tired and want to get back to sleep." Mr Thicknose said smiling a bit at Longtail.
(OOC: I figured since ancient humans, likely, figured out one could make pictures with starts, and watching them may have noticed, maybe, that one certain one didn't move some farwalkers may navigate by that if they travel at night and some may travel a bit at night. And with the stars moving around, across the millions of years the dinos were asleep, one who did watch stars would notice a change over that span of time, and the north star does change I read. The ones the ancient Egyptians used is not the same one we use do to the stars moving around. If it doesn't fit I'll edit my post.))

"As you say always" Startor laughed then said to him as they walked on in the caverns "tomorrow your friends will get to meet me and two others. Professor Elm his well kind of my boss in some senses since I take missions for him and Evan a new person that just arrived and saw Littlefoot with Elm today in our underground Valley as you call it. It where we grow our food and go to relax if stressed out and new a greenery enviroment to chill out in." Startor spoke to Chomper about some of the encounter with Littlefoot and about what they all will be seeing tomorrow.
----
Elm stood at the hanger seeing the jet come in for a landing he just came back from his lab and heard of the reports of missiles and fighter jets giving chase. "Their leader must of been aware that our forces now out number them greatly" Elm said to himself as he waited for the jet to come in to a stop to see Frank and find out what happened
----
the boss of DIG sat with a unpatient tap in the dark the others hearing it and trying to not look in that direction just doing their jobs. "Contact Gregg, slient comm 006."
The person chocked a little then said "Yes sir, right away sir" he activate the comm link.
"Gregg" the Boss spoke
"y-ye-yes sir..." Gregg whispers
"Where is that information... you said you'd have a link to me about a hour ago..." he spoke with annoyance
"Yes... I am about to get it from Evan's journel." Gregg replied
"Good... I will contact you in 1 hour, if you don't have it..." the he cuts the line.
----
Gregg gulps as the commucation ends and he sitting the room sharing with Evan since he was alone he gets up to check where the Journel is and soon finds it "Our" he sees a lock and picks it open starting to look through it "come on where is that bloody info" he looks and looks and find the enteries for the today.
(Lilefoot could you help out this part by saying what in each entery? it up to you what in it and what Gregg will find out in it if it useful or not.)
(Kor it fine, Mr Thicknose will notice something different in the sky since the stars would of shifted since 65 million years ago)
-
Frank landed and powered down the engines. He opened the canopy and got out of the plane and walked over to Elm. He took the helmet off and said to elm "I was just finishing up the last photo run when they spotted me so I just slammed the throttle up to full the two planes that followed me are from an elite squadron that I've faced before but back to the mission I was just off shore when the missle just suddenly expolded and the sukhois turned back I tell ya it was strange I never thought they would let prey go willingly,' said frank.
-
"It seems this was the reason" Elm showed the radio interception to the planes "Big Man direct Orders pull back and forget the NEA target return to base" he read it out to Franke. "you see this messenge was only one but this Big Man it seems is why your still alive" Elm explained showing the radio messenge to Frank.
-
"Well it seems this big man has heard of me,' said frank. "Well I think I'm gonna get some rest before morning,' said frank while yawning.
-
Mr Thicknose was looking up at the sky then turned to look at Longtail, "Having sleeping problems again? Sometimes a nice warm soak in some warm water helps one to relax." He said.
"As for why I"m up so early, sometimes I wake up early or stay up late to enjoy looking at the night lights. Some things can be seen only at night, some only at day. Though something seems different, very different." He said as he turned to look back at the night lights, if any are visible anymore.
"But that wouldn't likely interest a young one such as yourself," Mr Thicknose said as he turned to look at Longtail again, "you must be very tired and want to get back to sleep." Mr Thicknose said smiling a bit at Longtail.
Longtail nodded his head at Mr. Thicknose and said "Yes, looking at the night lights can be helpful." He stared up for a few moments and then he asked "Do you happen to know where a hot spring would be...I could use the sleep."
-
Chomper continued to look at Startor, "It does sound interesting and I do hope the other 2 are nice folks and things go well." He said. "I am looking forward to it." He said, finding it hard to wait till the time when it was suppose to happen. "I wonder why they want us there for. Most grown ups think kids are to young to be involved in important things." He said, feeling some of the usual frustration at being considered to young for certain things and discussions.
_____________________
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "I know of one that is not to far, if you wish to use it." He said, also thinking to himself if he should ask Mr. Longneck if he has noticed the change in the night lights.

Journal Entry nr.1234 January 22st 2011
Today was a day to be remembered! Never would I've expected what was about to happen when Elm brought me down to Farm Greenhouse B7 .Not only was I amazed about the state of the art technology that made all of it possible, I mean some of the plants down there are supposed to be extinct in "our" world!
Then, something happened that wasn't planed!
One of the dinosaur kids, Littlefoot came forth us. Elm seemed troubled by this, myself, I was litterly stunned by amazement, that is, 'till Elm slaped me in the face.
And so I was talking face to face with Littlefoot. I simply couldn't belive it. I'd never dreamt of that acctually happen! Neither, that the dinosaur spoke the language that we humans know as English! Not only did he spoke it, he spoke it as if he would've been a native, human English speaker!
Littlefoot told us about how he had fallen down trough hole from above, and ended up in that underground complex while examining one of the many cameras that have been placed all over the Great Valley by Elm and his crew. How they managed that without getting spoted I can't understand.
About Littlefoot, he is the most interessting creature I've ever communicated with, though, it feels sad to use such scientific terms for that... since Littlefoot showed all recemblences to a human, that is in speech, ways of acting in a situation, and describe emotions. Everything!
I haven't been able to follow Littlefoot to meet his friends, but tomorrow Elm asked Littlefoot to bring his friends as the procees to un-freeze the two "rainbowfaces" in the ice will comence.
If I can meet his friends, I'm sure that I can prove that all our knowledge about dinosaur relationships, way of acting, communication, is all incorrect! To tell the truth, I've already made up my mind about that! You know what they say, "First impression makes it all", I kinda feelt that for Littlefoot aswell. He's a dinosaur, but not such a dinosaur that I know 90% of the people back home would think of!
They are smarter, far smarter than no human have expected.
Just look at Littlefoot! He figured out the function of my glasses all by himself!
I'm sure that Littlefoot didn't fell down that hole by accident, he musy have seen sights of the cameras before he caught up with one...
Which brings me to wonder... what the purpose of the Professor and the New World Alliance is.
It has been on my mind for some time, even before I got here.
And what are those two dinosaurs frozen in ice?
Another good question is why Elm was so accurate with the members of the project not to see, talk, meet at all with the dinosaurs...
He seemed very troubled when Littlefoot appeard, I'm sure that wasn't included in the project. He seem crucial that the Great Valley doesn't get involved to much in all this, that I can understand. But then, why did he decide to bring Littlefoot and his friends to the un-freezing tomorrow? Appearently, Littlefoot knew about something common to the dinosaurs kept in the ice.
He told us about that he'd seen some sort of flying object with bright light, and after that, these dinosaurs called rainbowfaces had appeared. Strange things had started to happen afterwards.
And I remembered Littlefoot say:
"The two rainbow faces vanished in some tall light thing with night sparkles going off where they was and going up it then this weird flying rock shiny flew away and went up into the sky."
I might be a scientist, but I'd be dumb if I don't realize that what Littlefoot talked about might be what humans describe as Aliens.
Does this have some connection to the ice-shelf catastrophe back in our world?
I think I see some sort of conncetion...
These rainbowfaces that we've found... The NewWorld Alliance... The Great valley...
Hopefully, I'll get more answers tomorrow when the melting will commence.
But why does Elm keep this such a secret? He gave me a high level clearence, and told me that what was said between us and this situation, should stay with us.
So what should I've done when Gregg asked me these questions of his?
I didn't told him anything, but I'm sure that the excuse I gave him didn't convince him...
Well, time's up.
Tomorrow will be a most interessting day. I'm gonna find out more about this whole thing.
Evan Tyler
End Log
Evan went to sleep.
-
Gregg smirked "yes just what I needed" he took out a small device unlike any human technology seen before it let off a blue light scanning the writing as it went over the paper then he put the book away goes back to where he was sleeping at in the next bedroom attached to Evan's sharing one door he takes the comm device "Big Boss this is Gregg I got what you wanted sending it over now"
Big Boss replied "I am getting it now, good......" suddenly there was a huge pause
"Sir?"
"Your mission is to destory that ice block right now" Big Boss spoke out in anger.
"I can't it lvl 9. I am only lvl 4"
"LVL 4! you should of been lvl 9 a month ago! you idiot! I... ok that it!" Gregg gulps hearing the Big Boss really lost it now. "it took you over the deadline to get the information I wanted and then you can't do the job I spoke... I put you there with all the right points to get you to lvl 9."
"I know sir... sorry sir. I will try..." Gregg tries to keep on the good side
"No that is it" Big Boss spoke back "you failed me for the last time... I won't risk you being discovered so what they'll find will be something small fry"
"No sir please..."
----
In the DIG Recon Van Big Boss look to a control panel being only him and two people working at their stations with his guards he stood out of the light showing his Rainbow Face form he touch a keyboard and starts typing in commands locking to Gregg Bio. "you really disappiont me Gregg..."
"Sir I promise it won't happen again" the voice came through the head piece on the Boss head.
"No it won't because your life and memiors will be gone, reborn with the DCURE as a little baby longneck of Littlefoot's kind, enjoy your new life you remember" Big Boss ends the line and activate a device inplanted on Gregg's arm it releases the DCURE into his bones, muscles and blood all at once sprending rapidly around his whole body.
----
"NOOOO.............." Gregg bellowed his body shimming in a blueish colour then the clothes fall to the ground with something moving inside it and starting to cry this all made Evan jump up awake from the sounds, both the scaning device and the implant just melts into dust and blows away from the air con all evendence gone only leaving a baby longneck about a few days old inside Gregg's clothes.
---
"That should hold them up for about a week or so... enough time to call in a meeting and come up with a new plan. Also to create the DCURE in a gas form that work as well at the liquard form without killing those mammals on the mainland... also deal with those two again... I thought sabbtaging that main unit would of killed them... but I overlooked it now I won't again" he goes back into the dark part of the room and sits down "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!" he bellowed at the two people working at their stations they shook their heads "Nothing Sir!" both said and went back to work "Keep it that way... if you know what best for you" they nod their heads in silence "Now the waiting game begins"
-
Startor look to Chomper "I think it something to do with the Rainbow Faces we going to unfreeze tomorrow. Littlefoot seem to know about them so the Professor guessing you all have a run in with those two somewhere down the line of your lives" Startor explained to Chomper "It most likely be yous that know more about them then he or I. So in a sense you kids have a one up on us knowing more about something like this place you live in. We know so little while you know alot of the Great Valley" Startor finished the little example of smarts on different areas.
-
Evan got up in seconds!
He could see intense blue light, and someone was screaming.
He held up his hands to protect himself from the heat that was coming out from it, even devices melted.
Then it got more intense and he jumped down to the floor and held his hands over his head.
Then...
It was quiet.
Evan could hear his heart beat, they sounded like a bass drum in a dungeon.
His glasses where broken, he tossed the leftovers to the side.
He sat up, checking his body for wounds.
There was one, a peice of glass sticking out from his right arm. Leftovers from the glasses.
Evan swore, and pulled out the glass.
What just happened?
He remembered someone screaming, someone might be hurt!
He felt that if there was a crisis, he should not stay here.
He was just about to exit the room when he stumbled onto some clothes on the floor, and he went down to the floor again with a crash.
-
A little baby longneck head pops out of the clothes and looking around then look at Evan with a tilt of the head and try to get up and falls over then starts crying.
-
Evan shook his head, now he was bleeding trough the nose aswell.
Great...
He froze.
He could feel somthing moving by his feet.
He slowly turned around...
He widened his eyes.
A little baby, lognneck dinosaur was looking at him from under a pile of clothes.
It looked at him with wide, terrified eyes, and then started crying.
Evan had never seen something so inicent, his heart melted.
He sighed, wiped the blood away and layed down, carefully crawled closer.
He was making sure that there was no blood on him, and that he didn't show his teeth, as he knew, from experiences in his world, that such things scare babies.
"Hi there... don't be scared, I'm not gonna hurt you" he said and held out his hand on the floor, in front of the baby. A sign of gentleness.
What does this baby dinosaur doing here?
-
the baby longneck stopped crying and slowly getting up walking over to him almost falling over showing the little one didn't really had experience but gets to him and rub his head against Evan and with a smile waving it tail a little thinking Evan was his daddy and sqicks at him a little lying down against him and falling asleep.
-
"I guess you don't know how to walk yet..." Evan said calmly.
As the baby went to sleep in his hand, he felt overwhelmed.
That moment, nothing in the outside world of that room mattered.
He just sat there with the baby in his knee.
-
Lisa heard the yell and came to see what going on she then heard nothing and against the door she just heard Evan talking to himself "Evan... it late, don't play stupid jokes..." Lisa said in annoyance and walks back to her door to get some sleep.
-
Evan shoked.
If it hasn't been for the clothes and the dark, Lisa would've seen the baby.
He looked down at it. It layed still, purring some as it sleept.
...this little guy doesn't deserve that much attention...
Evan leaned back into the darkest corner of the room.
He grabbed a felt, and with the baby in his knees, he started to think.
I'm sure that this would cause attention if it comes out...
But I can't let that to happen...
Maybe I should...
Evan nooded, he made his decision as he feelt alseep.
-
Elm stood in his lab looking at the light that was picked up from Evan's and greggs room on the camera he locked it in a lvl 10 eyes only and knew something was up "Tomorrow morning I will go see Evan, that light not normal... it was bright and intensed." Elm whispers to himself and sit back in his chair and locking the doors he stared at the image showing the light. "I better brig a large towel... something tells me I need to" then he sets the alarm up and goes to sleep in his chair.
-
Evan woke up, something had been liking him on his cheek.
He looked down, and two cute little eyes looked back on him.
He smiled back, and tickled the baby gently.
Then he remembered something crucial.
Food!
Now he'd a problem on his hand, it would only be a matter of time before the baby would get hungry, and what would he do then?
The cafe' was out of the question, besides, it would not have anyhing suitable for the baby...
This little one... needs a mommy...
"Yeah, don't you!" he said and tickled it.
"But I can't show you to anyone..."
Damn...
-
Chomper nods, "I know much of the Great Valley, though not as much as the others do who have lived here longer. As for the Rainbowfaces I remember the gang talking about them some, when we tell some stories of things we did. I wasn't here when they had their meeting with the Rainbowfaces, from what the gang said I think it was a bit after they left the island I was on with my parents when Elsie carried them off. I missed them but was glad later to meet them when I eventually got back here to the Great Valley." He said. He thought for a moment, "I remember the others saying they spoke in riddles and Cera saying it seemed like they acted like they knew it all. And that the female got mad when the male helped them by bringing them green food while they were sleeping."
-
Frank got up and sat on the edge of his bed thinking about the mission. "Why did they let me go was it because of my dna,' he asked himself. "If it was because of my dna they will never get it from me,' said frank as he pounded his fist on the table by his bed.
-
"Riddles usually have answer to it. If they spoke in riddles then something to it met something" Startor thought about it then stood a seat on a rock by a waterfall in a large open cavern "Sounds like these two Rainbow faces keep things to themselves if they the ones we found, Elm going to love them. He has a nack to getting answers from questions he ask" Startor said to Chomper "He done it to me a few times, a little twist of a word here and there and you'd slip the answer he wanted." Startor remembering the trick.
----
The little baby longneck listened to Evan speaking and sqicks again at him happily.
-
Frank got up and went to the intel room to see if the photos from the recon were developed. Along the way he stoped to get a can of Pespi. After reaching the intel room he asked "Are the photos developed yet.' "Yes they are sir they're on the table over there,' said the intel officer. Frank walked over to take a look at the photos. He saw a few military units but as he looked over the photo of the center of the island he discovered something that sent a chill down his spine.
-
"They could be. Littlefoot said they were green with blue stripes on their backs and tails, and that the male was darker then she was." Chomper said, "Riddles can be hard to figure out." He continued. He then thought for a bit, "It seems from what the others said that the female kept stopping or interrupting the male, as if he were sometimes about to say something he should not have." He nods to what Startor says as he sits down, "Sounds like he's pretty smart if he can do that, getting information without you knowing it.
-
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "I know of one that is not to far, if you wish to use it." He said, also thinking to himself if he should ask Mr. Longneck if he has noticed the change in the night lights.
Longtail nodded and replied "Yes please...could you show me the way?"
He wasn't scared to try and find it on his own, but should he get lost and then find it as the bright circle came up...it would be a total waste of time, and he was really tired.
-
Mr Thicknose nodded, "It is not far, it is this way." He paused before continuing, "Would you rather let me carry you there or would you rather follow?" He asked.
-
Longtail smiled at the offer and said "No thank you...I'll follow along. I like flapping my wings...it makes me feel, I don't know happy. But I'll stay close to you so I don't get lost."
-
"Hmm it does sound it. So the Professor will have better luck getting his answers from the darker one then the lighter one. If tells him to quite down or stop him from talking Elm going to ask her to keep quiet and let him finish speaking because in Elm a person that respectly let others talk and finish what they have to say" Startor said to Chomper "His a very respected person, quite smart as well, it was he who figured out to shut those devices down that woke you all up a year ago" Startor spoke to Chomper telling him again how it was Elm that woke them up being the second time she told him since they begain to talk to each other in evenings.
-
Evan put the baby down in a pile of clothes.
He sat up for some seconds, then walked just outside the house.
He rubbed his nose, it was aching a little. What concerned him was the wound on his right arm.
He had tighten a cloth over the wound, but it keept bursting out with pain.
Ugh.. I need to get this fixed...
Evan knew what he would need, but he didn't want to leave the baby, neither could he bring it.
I'll do that later... what matters now is the food...
But how was he supposed to get any?
He got more and more into what he decided to do last night, but it would be dangerous, and without the wound fixed, even worse.
He returned into the house again, he sat down beside the baby lognneck.
"You hungry, little fellow?"
-
Elm had woke and choice to come to Evan's room and knock on the door "Evan it Professor Elm" he whispers "I saw some strange light on the camera systems and they picked up some high energy discharge. I locked it down lvl 10 eyes only. Let me in to see what else in your room..." Elm whispered making sure not to wake anyone up.
-
Evan heart jumped out of his mouth as he heard Elm knocking on the door.
He took a deep breath. Easy...
Then walked to the door, he placed his face close to it. Whisperd with a serious tone that he didn't belive was his:
"It's you Elm?"
"I don't know if I can open the door..."
Evan thought for a moment...
"...Ok, I'll let you in, BUT!"
"You have to promise me that you won't call anyone else, neither tell anyone, and I want some questions answered, okay?"
"Also... take off all your devices, crawl on your knees and don't smile."
-
Frank took another look at the photo to confirm what he saw. "So they have one,' he said silently to himself. "Has elm seen these,' asked frank. "No sir,' replied the officer. "Contact Elm tell him it's the photos from the recon have been developed,' said frank. "Yes sir,' replied the officer.
-
Chomper nods, "That may work, but better if he can do it in a nice way, instead of like how Mr. Threehorn would do it." He half giggled at an idea he had, "Maybe if they do talk in riddles like my friends said he can talk in riddles to them back." He giggled a bit at the idea before continuing, "I wonder why they did that, putting us all to sleep for that long time like they did. And was that part of why they showed up the first time that they did. How did we all look when this place was first found? I hope he didn't get into trouble for doing what he did." He said, liking to hear a story, even one he had heard before.
____
Mr. Thicknose nods smiling a bit, "It makes sense, likely how a swimmer feels while swimming in a calm body of water." He said, then looking in the direction of where the warm water hot springs area was, "Shall we be off then?" He said and started walking at an easy pace that he assumed Longtail could easily keep up with. He continued walking the not to far distance till they got to the warm hot springs closest to where they had been, not a very far walk.
-
Meanwhile back at the DIG base the pilots that took off were confused. "Why were we ordered to withdraw,' the lead pilot asked. "Because we need his DNA to help with our plans you fool,' cursed the seceratary of the boss.
-
"Look Evan, lvl 10 clearance means it doesn't go to anyone but I so that means I promise not to tell anyone." Elm then shook his head and open the door with his card which override the lock and walk in closing it behind him and throw the towel next to Elm "So that my feeling was..." then he look to the clothes "Oh no... DCURE..." he look at a metal melted object on the floor next to dust "So it was a implant type, So Gregg was the spy... look like the Big Boss had no more use for him" Elm turn to see the little longneck "Turning him into a baby with no memiors nothing of Gregg left... just a little longneck that seem to be at the stage that just hatched days ago..." Elm sighs "Cover him uip carefully and we will get him to B7 greenhouse, I will get some sleeping bags so you can stay with the little dinosaur" Little longneck just looked happy wagging it tail just making Elm smile.
-----
"If I remember right, you all was just asleep frozen in that appearance in a inturnal sleep, as for the two, I think they both played a part in putting you guys in that sleep. Not just him" Startor replied to Chomper. "Soon as we deactivated the main unit you all started to wake up in a matter of seconds that when all explorer teams hid and when you first met me. I remember you being scared and stepping back and it took this choclate to calm you down and get to know me and I to know you" Startor laughed a little remembering that little scene "And the promise that I would come every so often to this set of caves to talk with you a little each night" Startor said with a smile rubbing his head a little with her hand.
---
BIG Boss steps out of the shadows "He has DNA that could help improve the gas form of the DCURE and you would of not got him in time. anti air, you was flying right into a lot of anti air ships. Now you understand... do my seceratary have to repeat herself?"
-
Chomper nodded, "It must have seemed very strange for you to see all of us like that." Chomper said, sitting on his rock and rocking his feet a bit back and forth sometimes. He smiled a bit remembering their first meeting and the talks after that. "I was a bit scared at first. You were strangers and I've never seen nor smelled your kind before I woke up. I do like the chocolate and the talks we have had." He said smiling. He paused a bit, briefly, before continuing.
"I wonder why they didn't wake up when we did, and still wonder why they did what they did."
-
Evan looked at Elm, then at the baby.
"Wha..? Hold your horses! Gregg? DCURE?! Wha, what the heck is going on here!?" Evan hissed.
He grabed the towel and wiped his face. Never did he let go of Elm's eyes.
Evan then sighed.
I can't be angry with him, something tells me this is not his fault...
He started to cover the baby up in clothes and sheets.
"Come here boy..."
Evan stood up with the baby well-covered in his arms.
"Ok, let's go, I go ahead."
Evan then bit himself in his lips. The wound was bursting out a wave of pain trough his arm again. "And... could you bring a first aid kit?"
He said and showed Elm the wound.
"This happened during that light, it hurts like crazy..."
-
"Alright, I will explain everything when I get down there, for now go there and use corridor 7 through 9 to the lift no one can enter that area at this moment" Elm told him and watch Evan go then he leaves to get the sleeping bags out of storage and the first aid kit getting the stuff he heads to the lift.
---
"I believe the main unit they was using malfuctioned and froze them at a higher setting in a deeper sleep" Startor said to Chomper "that what Elm told me and he the one that worked day and night repairing and modifing the unit. Sometimes I don't know if he really human" she then laughed looking at Chomper's face "It a joke, his human I was just joking about how smart that man is" she chuckled. "yet I wonder... this is strange to ask but your good at smelling and telling the differences between different kinds of creatures. so when you smell the Rainbow Faces tomorrow take a sniff at the professor. It might be a waste of time but it just that feeling I get since he seem to be on top of understanding that stuff more then anyone"
-
"This cannon must be usefulf to the DIG if we destoy it now we could possible set their plans back,' said frank to himself. He turned to the officer and said "get Elm here he needs to see these photos.' "Right away sir,' said the intel officer who left to find Elm.
-
Big Boss look to his seceratary "Who encharge of the complex nearest to the Great Valley? something tells me the decoy cannon plan might fail... even I wanted those idiots to send in their land troops to destory it something tells me other wise down the base of my tail... that a feeling I don't like..." Big Boss spoke looking at the cannon in view from where they stood after dismissing the Lead Poilt and the other one as well.
---
Elm walked to the Lift direction to meet up with Evan in the gardens in B7.
(Evan not infected by the DCure it was only targeted Gregg and once it fully infected the Dcure disolves itself into nothing leaving no evidence of the Dcure in the system. Just hope that clear that part out and the cut just a cut)
-
Chomper got a surprised look on his face then relaxed a bit as she said it was a joke. "I can do that. It'll be easy with him with a human or 2 and the rainbowfaces close together." He said nodding as he listened to what she said then thought a bit, "Is it possible to be not human but look human. If there is a device that can put all of the Great Valley to sleep as you said, maybe there could be one to make you look different." Chomper said.
-
Mr. Thicknose nods smiling a bit, "It makes sense, likely how a swimmer feels while swimming in a calm body of water." He said, then looking in the direction of where the warm water hot springs area was, "Shall we be off then?" He said and started walking at an easy pace that he assumed Longtail could easily keep up with. He continued walking the not to far distance till they got to the warm hot springs closest to where they had been, not a very far walk.
Longtail followed along keeping to his promise of staying low to Mr. Thicknose. He then noticed the steam from the hot springs. He landed at the edge of one of the hot puddles and turned back to Mr. Thicknose smiling and said, "Thank you for showing me the way. I'm sure I'll be able to get to sleep soon."
He then turned and put one tentative foot into the water and smiled as his body almost went limp from relaxing so fast. Longtail then sat his body into the water and sighed as lied his head against a rock and closed his eyes.
-
(Don't worry, just concerned. But we made that clear now. Good. ;) )
------------------------------
Evan headed down the way Elm told him to go, keeping the baby tight to his chest.
------------------------
Evan was sitting behind a rock when Elm entered the greenhouse. He had managed to get there without being sawn, atleast he hoped so.
"Who's there? Elm, is that you?"
Evan stood up, seeing it was Elm reliefed him.
"Good."
He nodded at Elm and pointed at the FA kit, he caught it as Elm throwed it.
"Thanks." he said and started to pick some stuff up.
"Give me a hand will you..."
"The little one's sleeping..." he said with a smile, as he started to treat the wound.
As they sat there, Evan took word.
"...What's going on here...?"
-
"Not sure, I heard of masks placing over a face of another human to make that human look like another human they was called mimicers but I never heard of a dinosaur taking form of a human. For something like that it must be very very complex technology... something we not even close to making" Startor said to Chomper "But if that the case the smell can't be hidden as easy as appearances. guess that question be found out tomorrow" Startor said to him with a smile "either way Elm cares so much about the well being of all in the complex. His a good person deep inside no matter what he looks like on the outside" Startor saw a small opening to the sky and looked up seeing the stars
-----
Elm put the little longneck on the ground sleeping soundly still wrap in the clothes then look to Evan "DIG some how in just 1 year able to create a unqiue liquard that could change the very DNA in a living being to a dinosaur but if high enough as well can change the very being in here" Elm tap his head a little "changing their soul and form with no knownledge of what they was before and even change them into babies..." Elm looked at the baby longneck. "Reason why the island haven't been attacked is NEA has no idea what on it and what risk there is to the land we on. They won't risk harming the dinosaurs lives by any means" Elm explained to Evan then look at the baby Longneck
"Now you know and this is not to be spoken of. We will keep things as they normally are like that Island not there. As for this little guy I think we should bring the kids that will come tomorrow down here to meet him..." Elm then started to laugh little "I just forgot we haven't gave him a name, you could call him Gregg since it was him or something completely different. the honor all yours... dad" Elm laughed a little bit more
-
Evan nodded.
"So that's why..."
"I guess I should stay here, what about you?"
Evan smiled to Elm's comment, and looked down on the baby. "Dad... I don't know yet, but I'll figure a good one out."
"I have more questions, but I'll save them...If we're done, you mind if I sleep a little myself? I never got to finish..."
"And yeah, I think it would be good for him, he seems attached to me!"
"After all, I'm the first face that he ever saw..."
"But some company would do him good..."
-
Frank called up NEA HQ "Sir if there is a DIG agent among us and DCure is used on him I request premission to tell professer Elm about the DNA samples I have that they want,' he told the chief. "Premission granted on the grounds that it is used general,' said the chief. "Yes sir,' said frank saluting the chief.
-
"I will be back in the morning with the kids, goodnight to you and you little guy" Elm patted the little dino on the head gentle then go the lift going in and it goes up.
Little longneck just moved a little but still sound asleep.
Elm got to the ground floor and came out when the officer came to him with the paper and gave it to Elm he saw the photos and intel that was gathered from there "thakn you" he heads off to find Frank and soon finds him. "Frank forget about the cannon it a trap, I got designs of this and it just a empty thing. look there is no outlets nothing it got no power." Elm shows the areas that at serious faults of the cannon in the photo. "they was setting a trap and most likely for someone important"
-
"Well is there a DIG agent among us,' asked frank. "I believe I have something they need,' said frank.
-
Evan brought out a sleeping back, crawled into it, and keept the baby close to his chest.
don't mind it now, rest...
Then he fell asleep.
-
"Funny you say that, there was... " then he stops "Frank... you have what they need?" Elm thought about it "Gregg was the spy but he no longer since his link be terrinated and turned into a baby dinosaur with nothing of Gregg left in or out. It just a new baby dinosaur which sees Evan as he father" Elm told Frank after shutting the door and locking it so neither of them was disturbed as they talked
-
Ruby woke up. She made a long yawn and then looked over to Chomper.
There was no one there.
"Chomper!?" Chomper! Where are you?!" she called out.
She started to look around in the area.
Ohh! Where is he? I hope something hasn't happened to him!
-
"My DNA is the key to make DUCURE in gas form,' said frank. "Iwas told by NEA to keep it to myself after I told them,' said frank.
-
"Don't worry they won't get your DNA, if I didn't know Gregg hell didn't know. But someone must of knew to call off the attack on you" Elm turn and thought about it "Big Boss he must of knew"
---
"Uh-oh" Startor could hear Ruby calling out to Chomper
-
"Yeah that's probbaly why they built the decoy cannon to get us to come destroy it and shoot me down,' said frank.
-
"Yes and the Big Boss most likely figuring out as we speak that I am stationed and encharge of this very complex" Elm replied to Frank
-
"Let me guess you two go way back,' said frank. "If not maybe those two in the icce will know more about him,' said frank
-
Chomper looked in the direction of where Ruby's voice was coming from. "Maybe you should hide and try to sneak out. To bad about this, I was enjoying our talk." He said quietly to Startor.
He got up and walked towards the entrance calling out to Ruby, "I'm just in here. I...," Chomper paused for a moment to think of something, deciding to keep it simple, "I woke up and came in here to sit a while so I would not wake you up." He said.
____________________
Mr. Thicknose nodded, speaking quietly, "I hope you can get to sleep easily." He said smiling then he turned to head off in the direction of where Grandpa Longneck slept, walking at a casual pace so he'd get there, he hoped, around the time they would normally be awake.
-
Ruby walked over to Chomper.
"I was worried about you, next time you can wake me, I won't be angry with you."
said Ruby and pointed at Chomper with a reliefed smile.
-
Startor open the wall up seeing them talk then smirk with a coin in her hand "Ruby" she spoke out then toss into the air the coin and then enter the complex closing up the wall hatch behind her.
The coin bounce a few times and rolls to a stop hitting Ruby's foot and then fall on it side rattling around Chomper seen it before and knew it had to be Startor who did that.
---
Elm nods "they may do know more about him" skipping by what Frank said before about the two in ice. "Well we better get some rest. good night Frank" Elm pats him on the shoulder then unlocks the door and leave the room.
-
"What's this?" Ruby said and picked the coin up.
"I've never seen anything like it, and I don't think I would even if I knew I was looking for something like it."
-
Chomper nods, "I'll remember next time." He said as he looked up at Ruby, "I thought you needed to sleep and didn't want to disturb you is all."
Chomper saw the coin and thought to try to help Startor to get away. "I don't know, are you sure you've not seen anything like it before. Maybe you should take a good look an make sure. I think it looks like some special kind of rock. You should keep it, it looks kind of neat." He said nodding and smiling, hoping it gave Startor enough time to get away.
-
""Night professer,' said frank as he walked back to his room.As he was walking back frank turned the safety on his sidearm off. "Can't be too careful,' he muttered to himself. he reached his room and lay down on his bed facing the door and fell asleep.
-
"I guess I should, I might show it to Mr.Thicknose. Maybe he knows what it is?"
Ruby said.
"Well, I've sleept enough."
"Is it morning yet?" she said and started walking to the cave entrance.
-
Startor smirked standing by the door holding something she took out of her pocket which she had found once in the swampy waters near a mud pool "Hope they like my little gift saying thanks for keeping this little tooth now I know it was Chomper's" Startor put it back in her pocket and walk to her room but come across Frank's on the way and put a note on his door for a rematch the next evening to see if he can beat her since he was very close before hand "Goodnight Franky" she whispers and walk off to her room and then goes in closing the door behind.
----
Elm entered his own room and shut the door locking it behind him closing his eyes remembering the flooding in the city he was in "DC... and the rest of the coastly cities... why did so many have to die... but the human race still found a way to live on" Elm smiled then saw the time "Been up all night" he chuckled "it almost 5am. Might as well get some sleep" Elm sits back and close his eyes knowing he get about 2 hours sleep but a power nap would be better then no nap.
-
Evan got woke up because something was standing on his belly.
As he looked up, he had to smile.
The little baby was standing on his belly, waging its tail and looking at him.
Evan hesitated a little... then lifted his arms and gently grabed around the baby, lifting it up, it waged its tail in happyness as he did. He sat up and they looked at eachother.
"Well, goodmorning to you to!"
"You hungry? Lets get you something!" Evan said and put the baby down, and looked around the greenhouse.
"..But first we have a little thing we need to teach you!"
Evan yawned, and walked away a few metres, he had done this before and he was curious how it would work on a baby dinosaur.
He layed down on his stomach and looked at the little logneck, who stared back and tiped its head in curiosity.
"Come on, can you walk to me?" Evan said and held out his hand.
-
Grandpa Longneck had been awake for some time just watching the lights in the sky and awaiting the arrival of the bright circle. It was something he was quite accustomed to, so he didn't mind the wind that blew through the valley.
The elderly longneck smiled and took a deep breath of air as he continued to look around the valley he called home, he happened to see Mr. Thicknose coming from the nearby hot springs. He laughed a little as he stepped forward to address him.
"Good morning to you Mr. Thicknose, needed some time in the hot spring to relax?"
_____________
Ricktor was now officially bored! He'd been wandering the halls for an hour now with nothing to do. At first the walk seemed to be just to help him relax, but after having no contact with anyone in the last 45 minutes of walking, he was starting to wonder what was going on.
He'd been by the game room twice...and even stopped in the cafe to have a mug of Root Beer, but still nothing. 'This is too weird. Something has got to be up.' thought Ricktor to himself as he paced the halls once more.
-
The little longneck got up shakenly then slowly taking steps with it four feet he walked over to Evan looking happy at him then saw a butterfly and jumps at it swiping a front foot at it then starts moving around trying to catch the butterfly chasing it now away from Evan into the Greenhouse.
---
Lisa was walking with some people talking about stuff that will happen today and making sure that a area was unseeable to everyone because of special guests. "So get it ready and on time ok?"
"yes ma'am" they left to get the job down and she saw Ricktor
"Good morning Ricktor, ready for todays unfreezing awaken?" Lisa said to him
-
Frank opened his eyes and rubbed them he looked at the clock it was 6:50. "Might as well get up now,' he thought to himself. After getting his casual uniform on he left his room and saw the note startor left. "I'd better get some thing to eat today will be an important day,' he said to himself as he walked off to the cafe.
-
Startor came out of her room since she got no sleep but she use to having about 2 days without sleep by now so it wasn't much of a problem but hope Chomper was alright "We was up late this time around just hope the little guy is alright, that choclate should give him some boost for the day" Startor heads to the cafe to get her morning coffee.
---
Elm had woken up and already at the cafe having a mix of tea and coffee which seem to gross to many but not to him and the people working there been use to his strange style of hot drink.
-
Frank walked into the cafe and saw elm and took a seat next to him "Goodmorning professer,' said frank. he turned to the waiter "I'll have a cup of coffee,' he said.
-
"As you always ask Frank" he smiled and put the coffee down on the table "So as always I am one up ahead of you" he then leaves.
Professor laughed a little "Haven't you stop falling for that?" Professor Elm drunk his coffee and tea mix.
-
"Apparently not,' chuckled frank. Back at the DIG base "So just exactly how will we get his DNA since he won't give it willingly,' asked the secertary.
-
"Well we just get his blood sample, everyone must have one done and the last one was a week ago, so I will just contact our friend at the complex near the peak shaped as a Triceratops to send me that data and so far he haven't failed me." Big Boss smirked looking to the secertary. "Send him the messenge to get it for me by a weeks time. or he'll have the same thing happen to him as Gregg." then he walks into the Recon truck.
-
Frank finished his coffee and left the cafe to go to the lab. "In a few hours time the ice block will be unfrozen and we'll have some questions answered,' frank said to himself.
-
Chomper followed behind Ruby, "Let's go outside and see, unless you want to go back to sleep." Chomper said.
_____________
Mr Thicknose shook his head gently as he waked along in the direction of where Grandpa Longneck is, "Not me, though I may use it later today, but one of the young ones who had trouble staying asleep. I hope it works and he gets plenty of sleep. They need a lot of sleep to rest from all the playing and running & flying around they do.
He paused and looked up at him then at the night lights, "I was wondering if you have noticed any, change in the night lights. I've been watching them." He said as he looked a bit to the northern sky, "They seem to have shifted. I can't seem to find the right ones to make the sky pictures I heard and learned about when I was younger." He said pausing and looking more to the north, "and the night light I remember some farwalkers saying always points north seems to not be there." He said, pausing before looking back to Grandpa Longneck, "But maybe I am just imagining things, what do you think? Have you noticed any changes?"
-
Grandpa Longneck looked to the sky and said "Perhaps, but after so many cold times, my eyes aren't what they used to be. Many things may have happened to the night sky, but I can see no true changes...aside that you are right about the night light that points north is missing...that much I do know."
He looked down at Mr.Thicknose and asked "What do you think it means old friend? Could it be a bad sign?"
____________________
Ricktor smiled as Lisa greeted him, but frowned as he asked "Is that time already? Man...I've been so excited about this day...I must've forgotten to sleep."
He then realized he was dodging the question and said "Yes, I'm ready for today. Please lead the way."
-
"Well done!" Evan said and laughed.
He remained on the ground looking happily after the baby who just discovered both the art of walking, and fachination for butterflies.
When the distance got longer, he walked up and followed it.
"Hey boy, don't walk to far!" he called gently.
Hehe, he learns fast for being so little!
Evan continued to follow the baby lognneck into the greenhouse.
---------------------
Ruby got out of the cave entrance.
At instant, she could feel the warmth from the bright circle in her face.
"C'mon, Chomper!" she called.
"It looks like it'll be a nice day!"
-
Littlefoot came up to Grandpa and Mr Thicknose and shouted "Look at that night light Grandpa it moving slowly across the night sky!" Littlefoot points his head at the direction of the night light.
---
Lisa nods "Alright but first things get some breakfast, starting the day on a empty stomach isn't going to be healthy for you" Lisa turns and head to the Cafe.
---
The little longneck stops by the water and look at it seeing himself in the reflection and pats it with his foot the ripple appears and the image goes he then drinks some of the water licking it up then go back to Evan with a leaf in his mouth pulling it off a bush just after drinking some water.
----
"Well the ice block will unfreeze in 2.1 seconds when the device is activated to be more on the button, the device use a wave fourmation of distoring space and time and reverse the proess inside the ice, it will most likely crack and fall apart with them instantly moving like they where when the device activated which means them both flying onto the ground backwards if I am right, that why I asked for those crash mats" Elm said to Frank explaining the details to him and now Frank knowing why there was Crash mats being brought in.
-
Evan went down on the ground again.
"You've found your own food have you?" he smiled.
The little lognneck stood with the leaf in its mouth looking at him and waged its tail.
"Hehe, you better start eating it before I take it from you!"
Evan chuckled and grabed to the leaf, pulling it gently towards him a little.
-
Little Longneck pulled back playing with Evan.
-
Chomper followed Ruby outside, "It does, that is neat. We can do lot's of stuff then, instead if having to stay in the cave." He said, glad it looked like it would be a nice day & not one of those have to stay in the cave days.
_________
Mr Thicknose looked at Grandpa Longneck and thought a moment, "I'm sure sure about it being a bad sign, it may mean something has changed. Best not to think something is a bad sign unless one sees reason to suspect that." He said, looking over at the night lights and saying aloud and half to himself, " I wonder why the night lights have changed, and what it could mean."
Mr Thicknose looked over as Littlefoot walked over and when he heard what Littlefoot said he looked up to see what Littlefoot was talking about & pointing to, watching the object, "I wonder what it is, a flying rock, or something else."
-
Littlefoot heard about the North night light then turn his head "Isn't that the North night light? that is the brightest night light in the sky and Grandpa you did say it was the brightest and everyone look for it to see where North is" Littlefoot points his head North direction
-
Evan let go of the leaf, the baby sat down and started to chew on it, swallowing it.
"You like it?"
He then rose and started to collect some more leafs, then sat down by the rock placing the pile of leaves beside him.
"More for you here, boy!" he said, and watched how the baby came walking towards him in exitement, layed down beside him and started to eat.
Evan pet it gently.
But what should I eat?
-
Frank looked at the ice and thought to himself "I'd say there is a 50% chance that they know this bigboss.'
-
Not even close Elm thought as he stood with Frank drinking the last of his hot drink then putting the cup down on a table he saw the shielded viewed area finished being put up "Ah good Lisa's men finished putting up the last of the pritvate section up for our special guests that coming today. Which I can't tell more then that Frank. Sorry but only I, Startor and Evan be in there with them." Elm said to Frank knowing it a bit of a disappiontment for him not able to see who coming to see this as well.
"In about 4 and half hours they will be unfreezed, not before or after." he look at his watch "that be around 11am. which the time is around 6:30am at the moment"
---
the Little longneck finished eating then look at Evan, it points foot at him then at himself wondering what his name was since Evan not spoken of one and he knew his daddys name was Evan
-
"Hm?"
Evan looked down.
"Oh, that's right!"
Evan placed his hand over his chest.
"Evan" he said.
The little lognneck continued to poke him with its foot.
"What is.... Ah!"
He lifted the baby up on his belly.
He pointed at it with a smile and said,
"I haven't given you a name yet!"
"Lets see... what do you look like?"
-
the baby longneck lick him in the face and hoping he'll get a name like Evan his daddy.
-
Frank tried giving the "pretty please let me meet the speical guests" look at elm.
-
Evan looked at the baby,
"How'd you like.. Ian?"
He gently poked the little logneck on it's belly. "Ian"
-
Back at the DIG base a major approached big boss "Sir I have a 2 squadrons fully fueled and armed to destroy the ice block sir,' he said in a Russian accent.
-
Littlefoot came up to Grandpa and Mr Thicknose and shouted "Look at that night light Grandpa it moving slowly across the night sky!" Littlefoot points his head at the direction of the night light.
---
Lisa nods "Alright but first things get some breakfast, starting the day on a empty stomach isn't going to be healthy for you" Lisa turns and head to the Cafe.
Grandpa longneck smiled at his Grandson and said "Yes Littlefoot, the bright night light pointing north is indeed moving. But I wonder why and after so many bright circles of being there would it just decided to move like that."
He heard Mr.Thicknose speak as well and replied "Yes, waiting would be best for us until we know just what is going on with the sky. However when the bright circle rises I feel we should hold a meeting about this...just in case."
__________________
Ricktor nods in reply and walks with Lisa to the Cafe. As they arrive he asks "Where has everyone been? They just seemed to disappear. If it's classified then you don't have to tell me...I just want to know."
-
Mr Thicknose nods, "Maybe telling the others what we have observed may be best. I do hope it won't cause undue concern or any arguments." He said still looking at the moving light, "And I do wonder why it is moving. What can that light moving mean?" He asked. "I"m sure we may find out eventually." He said.
-
Littlefoot thought about it then said something "Erm Grandpa, Mr Thicknose could I tell you something that could not be told to anyone else please... it could explain why things are the way they are... please promise me not to tell anyone else including the other adults... I notice by some of them they react with anger to big changes and won't listen to anything said and want to destory that change" Littlefoot said to both grownups.
----
"Not at many was fast asleep others was getting the Cargo Bay ready for 11am in 4 and half hours time which all have to attend I am sure you heard that annocement made last night, everyone else did" Lisa said to Ricktor.
---
Little Longneck like it and licked his hand.
---
Elm then said to Frank "One thing that good about being here, the Big Boss won't risk harming any dinosaurs or launching any sort of attack on this Land mass on our complexs cause of the risk of harming the dinosaurs, that why they been working on that Dcure." Elm said looking to Frank "if they did it the other way this 300 mile land mass would be in ruins by now and dinosaurs would be dying or dead from the fires and bombardments"
---
Big Boss just sat there in the shadows now anger as ever whipping his tail against his chair hard "Everyone get out and take a 10 minute break" all the people work in the Recon Unit leaves and the door closes then he push a button locking it then steps out into the light looking right at the Russian Major.
"Now we alone... tell me where is the Ice Block and how many dinosaurs are around that complex, how deeply embeded the complex is into the Great Valley Wall and what is the goal of DIG? It should be very very simple for you to answer..." Big Boss tapping his claw hand on a metal panel waiting for a answer. "Well... answer me!" he sneered making the Major jump with fear.
(Goal is to remove humans from the Land without damaging the Dinosaur homes or harming any dinosaurs at all with no deadly force and to defend the Land from any Human interferce (that their primary goal) (Also with the ice being in the complex right on the Great Valley and dinosaurs very close by any attack would cause destuction to the Great Wall including the blast fragments could serious harm or kill nearby dinosaurs which the Big Boss is not going to let happen following the Primary Goal even it means the two he didn't want unfreezed will be unfreezed cause he had little no choice to let that happen since it being in the place with dinosaurs all around the outside of it.))
-
"According to intel the iceblock is in section 31 alpha by the coast sir, our objective is to take control of the facility ducure all the humas there and kill the two in the iceblock sir,' said the major.
-
"YOUR WRONG!!!" Big Boss smashed him in the face knocking him over he getting up with blood drippin from his mouth "It in Complex Gamma! It by the great valley you stupid mammal and that coastly area is a decoy of NEA! Look on that screen" he grab him by the hair and pulled him right against the screen "Look at all those ships, 8 anti air and sea warships, they would of ripped you apart in seconds! CHECK here before you do anything for sure!" he throws him against the wall "NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT BEFORE I GIVE YOU THE DCURE MYSELF! GET OUT YOU STUPID NO GOOD FOR NOTHING MAMMAL!" he opens the door and throws the Major out and slams the Recon unit door. "I bet Elm don't have to deal with stupid idiots like this" he grumbles to himself.
Many men and women just look at the Major then go off doing their duties before they was yelled at by the Big Boss since the Major seem to get on his really bad side and lucky not to be Dcured many was saying that under their breaths. Three Rainbow Faces holding newly designed weapons those that was people that was DCured now guards for the Big Boss just stared at him as he picked himself up
-
Quite frightened the major ran as soon as he got to his feet whimpering. Rather wanting to get up in the air one of the pilots yelled loudly over the raido "When are we gonna take off are we or aren't we,' "Negative,' said the tower. Rather angry the pilot said "Screw it I'm taking off!' After getting through the hail of gunfire from DIG security forces he got airborne. "I'll show them to not mess with us,' he muttered to himself.
-
"I think it time to test out my new toy" Big Boss smiled then touch a keypad panel "Locked" computer voice spoke locking on the plane "Fire" Big Boss spoke
---
NEA officers was watching one plane coming in it was about 20 minutes out then another object appears from the island heading right for the plane and super speeds.
----
"Jason Jives, pilot 19201. You just cross the line with me, instend of the DCURE I got something very special for you. It my new toy. I call it the Hyper Pulse cannon. It fires a energy pulse that locks onto a target I give and will hit it in 20 seconds without fail. No matter what you do and what actions you take your locked on" Big Boss said with open speakers even NEA people at the ships hearing this broadcast. "Oh yes this is being shared to everyone so they can hear you scream in pain for stealing a DIG Plane for breaking our number one rule about using weapons on that LANDMASS and three you'd really really REALLY REALLY PISSED ME OFF!!!! YOU ARE FINISHED YOUR FIRED!!!!!" he bellowed out as the energy ball came in right at the back of the plane now only 2 seconds to impact and he said calmly "so have a nice day" the radio cuts off
-
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH,' screamed the pilot as his MIG-27 discentragrated. Unbeknowst to DIG NEA inteligence had been listening to the whole thing. "What was that,' asked one of the officers. "Oh no they have one,' said frank. "Have one what sir,' asked one of the scientists. "A hyper pulse cannon,' responded frank. "A what,' asked the scientist. "Think of it as a cannon that stays locked on to it's target no matter what,' replied frank. The scientist shivered with fear.
-
"Good work boys but that be the only time we'll use it unless there is another that want to cross that line which I hope not" Big Boss turn to the screen seeing most of the people working for him now knowing that crossing the line is a serious not a good thing to do. "Too all DIG. I know you never do such a stunt like that, I trust you all to do your jobs well and hope that no one would do such a stunt again... destorying a life... well I don't want to destory one for good... he left me no choice in the matter. Now why don't you all relax for now. have a 1 hour break then back to normal duties, sorry for those that had to hear that broadcast... And can Sam Hanks see me in the Recon Unit please." Big Boss sat down in his chair feeling stressed out at this point why do few mammals have to try take matters into their own hands... why can't they see that my approche is the best move.
-
"That cannon is a threat that must be dealt with,' wispered frank to elm. "Casulities would be extremely high though so there is also that,' said frank
-
Big Boss waits for Sam Hanks to come in "Elm should of added it up by now, if it wasn't for those idiots before hand I would of got Frank looking like he was blow up but that sam and planes ruined the plan." He look to the screen seeing a image of a complex built inside the island showing the man that cross the line being pulled out of the plane by two of his most trusted guards and Rainbow Faces with white coats waiting and then walk off with the guards dragging the scared polit away.
---
Elm watch the clip from a near by computer then spoke out "It wasn't a weapon at all. I looked at this footage over and over again, the plane vanishes at impact. I believe it was some energy ball that designed to teleport a object in the sky to another location." then Elm realised "Frank... the recon you did when you saw the cannon, it was a decoy to make you have another look so they could use this device to teleport you into their base... if it wasn't for those planes and sam missile Big Boss would of had you ages ago and we would of thought you died" Elm said looking at him.
-
"Yeah you're right,' said frank. "I guess lady luck was with me during the mission,' chuckled frank who saw the serrious look on elms face and spoted chuckling. "Still I suggest we should tighten security,' said frank.
-
"we'll tighten it up a little bit but not that much, Big Boss won't go in with gun blazes his up to something..." Elm said looking at Frank "For now lets just do work as normal and wait for the 11am wake up call for our friends" he looked at the ice. "He wouldn't even kill those two inside that, since Rainbow Faces are dinosaurs and he'll never harm them"
-
"Yeah that's one thing in our favor,' said frank. "I think I'll get a rematch from startor from the game yesterday,' said frank who walked off to find startor.
-
Mr Thocknose looked at Littlefoot and nodded. "I have noticed that for one so young you do have good instincts and can see what is best, better then some grown ups. So if there is something you wish to tell me that you wish me not to tell anyone else then I shall not." Mr. Thicknose said while looking at Littlefoot.
-
Grandpa longneck nodded his head as well, and said to Littlefoot "I'll do well to keep your secret Littlefoot, you know you can always trust me for such matters. Now go ahead and tell us what it is you want to say."
The elderly longneck looked to his nephew with anticipation.
______________________________________________
Ricktor meanwhile nodded his head at Lisa's question and replied "Yes, I heard the announcement." He sipped on his chilled glass of milk and said "I just hope everything goes well today. I'd hate for something horrible to happen ya know?"
-
"Well I met some strange new creatures they hide inside the Great Valley wall and some other places inside the Mysterious Beyond because they have stuff that amazling different and life a complete different life to what we live, they even put things up all around their home to keep a eye on the valley because they was afaird that their differences would scare so many adults that they could be destoryed or driven away from their homes" Littlefoot explained to the two adults.
"They not that tall only slightly taller then me and they stand straight and wear fake skins that they make by themselves over their real skins and have fuffy stuff on their heads, they call themselves humans and they the ones that found us all inside frozen water asleep they woke us all up and hid to stay away from our life style" Littlefoot continued to explain. "So if they was mean or want to do any harm why would they wake us all up and choice to stay away and let us live our lifes without interfering with us? I meet a few of them by accident when I slip down this round hole into this undergound Valley lake, two of them was there and we talked and how they never showed themselves and I think I understood, because last many times before when something new and different appears many adults here turn their eyes away and want to drive them out or destory them to keep changes away... it kind of scary seeing grownups acting like that. They was afaird of that so they hide inside mountians and Valley walls. And the two I met with a thrid Elm, Evan and Startor they helped me out of there and asked me to only share this with only those I can really trust that wouldn't tell anyone else because of the harm that some might bring to them." Littlefoot finished explaining to both grownups.
---
"Is the sheilded viewing area near the cargo doors ready?" Elm asked when he look to the screen
"Yes sir but why do we need something so massive with a window down there and a window up there that only see through it from behind those screenings?" one man asked
"We might have bigger guests in, which you know I can't talk about" Elm said patting him on the shoulder a little "I already have Startor gone out to tell someone of the large door"
"Oh I see, right I get you sir, we know why, because of a few would you know" the man said
"Yes that correct that why you and your group is doing this because your people of your words and I respect that" Elm smiled "Later this evening you and your people come and enjoy a private dinner at the Obverser post on the top floor?"
"Thank you sir!" he salutes and goes back to work
Elm chuckled "Your welcome young man" he turn back to the screen watching Littlefoot talking with his Grandpa and Mr thicknose.
-
Frank reached the game room and didn't find startor so he decided to play AceCombat 6 on the 360 there. "What would the DIG do to me if they were able to get me and my DNA what would happen then,' he thought to himself.
-
(OOC: I have fallen so far behind on this RP. I'm not dropping out, because I found a segway where I seemed to leave the RP. My characters have gone to the genetics lab and analyzed the plant that Startor gave them.)
'Vylor, what have you found out on that plant. I've got nothing.' Argaya said, exhausted from working all night on the seed.
'I think I've got something. It matches nothing in the database, but we expected that. However, it does bear a close resemblance to the gingko tree. We should grow it over the next few weeks and see what happens.' Vylor replied.
'Trees don't grow that fast. This could take years before we could tell.' Argaya retorted.
'Ah, but all I want to see is how it develops. The way the plant develops is a good indicator of it relatives.' He responded.
'Professor, could you tell Startor "Thank you!" for the plant seed? We've been researching it all night and we think we found out what species it could be related to.' Vylor said into his intercom.
-
"Heh, you like it? You like it? I said you like it? Evan laughed and poked Ian over, tickling him. Ian waged his tail and smiled at him, glad that his daddy was playing with him.
Evan lifted Ian up and placed him on the ground.
"You know, I'm sick of sitting here being hungry. Lets go for a walk? I'll carry you when you don't want to go anymore?"
Evan looked around and decided for a path.
"Lets go this way!"
Evan started to walk with Ian keeping up beside him.
-----------------------------
"You think the others're up yet?" Ruby asked Chomper.
"I think I would like a drink at the watering hole anyhow"
"Shall we?" she said, pointing in the direction of the watering hole.
-
Elm heard it and replied over the comm "Your welcome, Startor at the moment outside the complex on a assignment, soon as she back I will let her know you said it and good to hear that you found something out" Elm said then thought about it Maybe I could show them the Greenhouse... oh yes Evan and the little baby dino... he remembered. Then Elm said over the comm "I'm coming to your lab right now, I got something that could help increase your research, we used it on our Greenhouse on floor B7." Elm turn off the comm and head over to them on the way going to storage 7 to get the equitment and head right there.
---
Startor was near to where Littlefoot's nest is and saw him with Mr Thicknose and Grandpa Longneck she kept hidden and stay still listening to them talk she had a update that Littlefoot would be telling at least a few adults and she was glad it was these two, the more understanding two and open to listen and able to change if they had to with life around them.
----
Ian walk with Evan and saw some apples on a tree wondering what they are went up to the tree and looking up at the very high fruit.
-
Evan sat down next to Ian, "You know, one day you'll be able to reach so high
yourself!" he said, then reached up and pulled an apple of a branch.
"Brilliant, I was just looking for food."
Evan started to eat the apple.
Ian, he started to pull one of Evan's shoelace.
Evan chuckled and broke a peice of the apple, and gave it to Ian.
"I guess these don't grow up in the valley... but have a peice."
-
Frank stopped playing his game. "I think I'll stretch my legs for a bit,' he said to himself. "Most of the DIG pilots probbaly would not last 15 seconds in a dogfight eith me,' he thought to himself smiling.
-
Chomper shrugged, "I'm not sure. I would guess some of them are. I hope they are all as excited about today." He nodded at what Ruby said, "We may see a few of them down at the water & now that you mention it I am a little thirsty myself." Chomper said following along with Ruby to the watering hole.
______
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "Unfortunately I have noticed that tenancy of some grown ups to act like that. One would think they are not really grown ups at all by their behavior." He said.
He thought over what Littlefoot said. "About your size? I assume they are grown ups. There are some types who are around that same size. And have fuzzy stuff on their heads and wear fake skins. Hmm, maybe to protect their own skin if it is easy to injure. And the rest of what you say about them, underground valley, amazing stuff and way of life... they do sound interesting. I think I may like to meet them. They may be interesting to meet, how about you Mr. Longneck?" Mr. Thicknose asked.
-
As they were walking to the watering hole, Ruby asked Chomper,
"What do you think these humans is like?"
-
Chomper looked at Ruby thinking a bit. "I'm not sure. From what Littlefoot said they sound like they may be a little strange looking, maybe even a little scary, at least at first. But if Littlefoot likes them they can't be bad or mean. I can't wait to meet them." Chomper said. A little unsure but still mainly excited about meeting them. Pretending that he had not met a human before. "I'm sure they will be ok, maybe nice even." He said.
-
"I guess you're right Chomper..."
"The only way to really find out, is to find out!" Ruby said and they continued their walk to the watering hole.
-
Chomper nodded, "It should be fun, and and adventure too. I'm glad all of our friends will be there to share it with us and that it is such a nice day too." He said smiling as they walked along.
-
Grandpa longneck nodded to Mr.Thicknose and said "It is sad to see grown ups act like such hatchlings, but yes I must say this sounds very interesting indeed. I too would like to meet them if given the chance. They sound very nice and pleasant to be with."
_____________________________
Ricktor just finished his glass of milk and said to Lisa "Shall we get going? Don't want to keep everyone else waiting now do we?"
-
Startor the spoke out "Just as Professor Elm told said, I am Startor and here to expand the invite to these lovely young men" Startor said walking into the open a little standing before Mr Thicknose and Grandpa Longneck. "There is a large entrance in a section of the Great Wall hidden from view in all angles right next to the place you call the Thundering Falls, the children and you if you wish to come the entrance will open up by the highest morning point of the sun" Startor points to the sun. "It will be near the burning mountians around that time."
"Cool!" Littlefoot smiled then see her leaving "Are you going already?"
"Yes, believe me this is a deliever and leave if that one called Mr Threehorn sees me well I better run, so laters" Startor leaves into the plant growth and gone just like that.
"Guess she got a point there, if Mr Threehorn did see her he would of chased her like those tinysaurous when they was first met" Littlefoot turn to his Grandpa "that what Tria told me"
-
Mr. Thicknose jerked a bit, startled by Startor's sudden appearance. He looked at at her and listened as she spoke, fascinated by her appearance. He had not seen her kind before.
Mr. Thicknose smiled at the compliment. "Lovely, young? Thanks. I've not been called either in a rather long time." He said. He nodded to what she said and nodded again. "I would enjoy going there at that time. How about you?" Mr Thicknose asks Grandpa Longneck.
He watched as she suddenly left and how well she did. "She is certainly good, but also has a good point about him." He said.
He looked where she had vanished. And after a bit spoke again, "So that is what a human looks like, fascinating. She did seem rather nice." He said.
-
Frank sat in the cafe with his hand on his forehead he was having flash backs of his time in combat. "Why could I not save them,' he asked himself mentally.
-
Grandpa longneck smiled as well as he heard Startor talking and the compliment she gave. He chuckled and replied with "Thank you very much." He then noticed her leaving, and also heard what she said.
He smiled once more and said "You are very right. Mr.Threehorn will probably not like the idea of a newcomer like your kind. But thank you for the invitation all the same. We will certainly be there when the time is right."
The elderly longneck the nodded to Mr.Thicknose and said "Yes I do believe you and Littlefoot are right. She is very nice indeed. I do hope the rest of them are like her."
___________________
Ricktor noticed Frank in the Cafe as well and decided to see if he was okay. After several steps he said "Hey Frank, you look upset...is everything alright?"
-
Startor moving through the plants and keeping clearly out of sight sees Chomper for a second he saw her she smirks and points to where Littlefoot is then disappears she moves on and soon find the wasteland area but what was there was another thing. "Wonder what causing that hot heat coming from that round hole and that light?" Mr Threehorn mutters looking down at the tiny hole "Look like covering it up not going to help since that hole looks very deep" Startor creeps behind him he turns
"Who goes there?" he look to the trees seeing no one "Everysince the time of Great Giving the first before that was the big fire this place never really recovered..." Mr Threehorn mutters then hear something strange a sound of something moving then he looks around then a clamping shut he turns "What the?" he see nothing out of the normal rocks and Great Wall shaking his head he just leaves the wasteland area heading back to his nest to see how Tria and Trish is doing this morning.
---
Startor leaning against the hatch inside the complex smiled shaking her head "Never that close again" she held a piece of scale that came from Mr Threehorn very tiny piece "too close" she then heads off to find Elm and see him entering the research lab for plants and some DNA testing she goes in after him "Hey Elm message delivered as asked"
"Very good, good timing as well." Elm went to the two Argaya and Vylor "This equitment increase the growth of plants from anywhere of double to 100 times it speed growth, it was used in the project to create our Greenhouse at level B7." Elm told them both.
"Well they might like to look at this scale... it came off Mr Threehorn" Startor put it on the table "he was right outside the hatch looking down the vent to the B7 Greenhouse section, lucky i got by him and taking along a tiny piece of scale off him" Startor told Elm and the others.
"The Triceratops which the Great Valley dinosaurs refure to as Mr Threehorn. Yes his the one that hits and ask questions later and half the time rally the others into a course he thinks is right" Elm said to Startor.
-
Ian eats the apple piece finding it amazling tastey.
-
Frank looked at ricktor and said "Yeah I'm just having flash backs from one of the wars I fought long ago.'
-
Chomper nodded as he saw Startor and then turned to Ruby, "Maybe when we have gotten a drink and washed a bit if we do, then maybe we can go to see if Littlefoot is awake." Chomper said noting the direction Startor pointed in. "Unless you wanted to go and see Littlefoot before the watering hole to invite him along." He said. He was a bit thirsty, but would not mind waiting and Littlefoot's nest, he thought, wasn't to far from some water.
-
Ricktor looked concerned as he asked "Which war...I fought in at least three of them...so did Shane. That's how we met."
-
"The elkan war my fourth war the day I'm remembering july 27 the day the elkans used their nuclear armaments on their own soil I was there when it happened,' said frank who started to shed a tear.
-
Lisa was listening to them "THe thrid your talking about is the collapes of goverments all over the world at the time the flooding was at a serious peak. When factions was formed before the NEA was formed." Lisa said to them joining in on the talk she pulled out a newspaper from her bag she carries it was dated when the NEA was formed.
-
Ricktor nodded his head solemnly and replied "I remember that war. I was stationed at a base not far from one the blast sites. I barely made it out alive...several of my friends weren't so lucky. I am glad to know that Shane made it though."
Ricktor then turned to Lisa and said "Is that when it happened...I always thought they'd fallen apart before the bombs dropped?"
-
"No, the collapes was about a day after the flooding of many major cities across the world the water levels just increased all the sudden. No one knew why the ice melting increased by 200% on that very day before the war" Lisa said to them and then shows the paper to them the picture.
"This might intrest you. Look at this and look who in the picture his the one that helped for the NEA to be formed" Lisa points to the person in the picture and it was Professor Elm. "It was the very Professor we work for that help bring the peace and union to form New Earth Alliance" Lisa said to them and gave them the paper to look at as well.
-
(Who going to be Sam Hunks?)
Big Boss still waiting for Sam Hunks looked at the day of the flooding hit it peak all over the world. "My appoch was perfect the flooding caused all the chaos I wanted everything worked then Elm with the New Earth Alliance... I had to change my appoch and now I see it was prefect" Big Boss smiled a little "Sometimes the worst thing to happen to a plan is the better"
-
(I will)
sam hunks entered big bosses office "Sorry I'm late I had an unreliable pilot,' he said.
-
Ricktor nodded his head and gave a low whistle of approval. "I still don't believe there is any way to have the ice caps melt like that, without someone's interference. It had to have been staged to move some master event in motion."
He then smiled and said "So it was our very own Professor Elm who brought us all together and formed this organization....amazing!"
-
'Wow, that must be some cell stimulation device. Well, we'll use it to double the growth. All we want is the analysis of the plant growth.' Vylor said to the Professor.
-
"I know" he activate a screen showing the man being dragged away from the plane and taken through a automatic set of doors they closing behind "He wasn't killed or the plane destoryed the new toy just teleported the whole plane inside a chamber which is about time you come and see." Big Boss toss him a key card Sam catch it showing Lvl Alpha clearance the second highest.
"Your records and your duties here earned you my trust. And you better not misuse this trust because I will not take kindly to it." he said getting up and stepping out of the dark section of the Recon Unit.
---
"That what many believed but there no technology that every was built to melt ice like the way it did, there was no nuke impacts because we would of saw a massive flash and the systems all over the world would of detected it, 65 of the worlds ice melted in 9 different places at once with no raditation no explosion." Lisa said and sat down showing them all the reports she gathered in the last 3 to 4 years.
---
"If you like to use it, it's right here, just do in at Greenhouse Lake B7. All we need is a tree growing through the ceiling of this room" Elm chuckled
Startor shook her head "Well I hope you guys like your own little dinosaur scale, see ya" Startor leaves the room.
-
Sam followed big boss into the room where the teleporter was "Impressive,' he said. "What's the range of it,' he asked.
-
'I think that we'll start off by planting the tree first and seeing how it develops. Then we'll begin to analyze the scale. Thanks again, Startor.' Argaya said.
-
"Yeah the start of it was a lot worse,' said frank. "The Elkans took out the Queens bridge the pride and joy of my country and at a time when innocent civillians were on it,' said frank who made a fist with his left hand. "I lost my daughter that day,' he added before breaking down in tears.
-
After eating, Evan and Ian continued walking deeper into the complex.
"I wonder if all the greenhouses are connected with eachother..."
They reached an area with a man made lake inside.
"Good thing, I'd love a drink now."
Evan walked to the water bank and started to drink, Ian stood by him, playing with his reflection.
-
"Very well" Elm nods "I better go see Evan, keep up the good work" Elm leaves the lab heading to the lift to B7
---
"This acts like a cannon, at the moment it only designed to fire at flying objects in the sky, it will track and chase that object, with 100% impact in 20 seconds no matter how far or close the object is" Big Boss explained to Sam then come back to his chair the chair folds up and a tube raises from the floor where the seat is "Once you enter you will not say anything what you see below to anyone. This is where things are very sensetive to DIG Operations" Big Boss moves into the large lift suited for a Rainbow Face.
---
"I remember that, the news was broadcasting the travel report when the bridge was hit hard many including the reports was shocked to hear and see this only days after the serious flooding all over the world with goverments unable to control the problems that was spiralling out of control" Lisa said remembering about the choas and the war beginning.
-
Evan layed down on his back, and stretched his arms.
Ian climbed up on top of his belly, layed down and looked at him playfully.
Evan grabed a leaf on the ground and held it a few inches from Ian's face.
Ian tried to bite onto it, Evan moved it, making Ian chasing after it with laughter.
After a while, he let him have the leaf.
Evan leaned back and closed his eyes, while Ian chewed on the leaf on top of his belly.
-
Elm arrived and found that they wasn't in the Greenhouse area and guess they was in the lake section since it was the one connected to this one and he goes in to see Evan "Morning Elm, morning little one"
-
Evan opened his eyes.
"Goodmorning Professor" he said and sat up, lifting Ian down as he did.
"Glad you came, I was starting to wonder if I'd been totally forgotten."
-
'Oh hey Evan! We just came down to plant this tree and study its growth. Professor told us to grow it here, so we went to the genetics lab, grabbed the seed, and came here to see it grow.' Vylor said, not taking notice the baby dinosaur. Argaya walked past, also seemingly ignoring the young longneck.
-
"Oh, hi everyone!" Evan said and nodded.
"That's.... interessting... he said with an unsure tone, feeling unsecure about the others making experiments with plants, as he and Ian had been eating from it.
I hope they weren't sprayed or something...
Ian went hiding behind Evan.
"Hm? What is it boy?" Evan said and sat down with Ian.
"These are my friends, don't worry... and you know Elm from earlier, don't you?"
he said gently and held Ian in his knees.
-
"Evan if your worried what we use down here all we use is a device the increase the growth of plants for a small amount of time, no sprays or anything used here" Elm said to Evan "So all the trees, food and everything here was just grown that little bit faster at first but now grown at a normal rate" Elm explained to Evan "the plants are unharmed and nothing extra added to them." Elm resured him. "If anyone use any sort of spary in here the alarms would go off and I would find out in a second who used it and there be some serious issues of talk and those plants would be destoryed" Elm said speaking a little loudly so the two heard him clearly of his warning
-
"Thanks for telling me Proffesor." Evan said.
"How are things up on the surface?"
-
Frank stoped crying and wiped away his tears "It's tough being old now that there are so few veterans from wars of the past,' said frank. Ricktor and lisa looked at him with some confusion. "I mean veterans of wars before the elkan war mid to late 20th century wars,' said frank.
---------------
"I understand completley sir,' said Sam.
-
Cera was walking to the watering hole to get a drink and see if any of her friends were there as well.
As she got a drink she could see Spike not to far off and Ducky swimming around with some of her siblings. Once she finished she walked over closer to where they were.
"Have you seen Littlefoot, Petrie or the others?" She asked. Spike shook his head while he was eating. Ducky and some of her siblings who were swimming nearby, chasing each other came over closer to Cera.
Two of them stood up, one of them, Ducky got a smile on her face and gently elbowed the one next to her, that was one of her twins.
"Hello, Cera. No I have...." Ducky started.
"Seen Littlefoot today. Perhaps he is..." Diver, one of her twin sisters said
"Still with his Grandparents eating." Ducky said, finishing her sisters sentence.
Cera moved her head back and forth as each spoke, then did a slight sound of annoyance.
"I get enough of that from Rocky and Dusty. I don't need it from you too." Cera said, her tone of voice was such that she wasn't really mad, just slightly annoyed and may find it funny later.
Spike, Ducky, Diver and their other siblings that were nearby started to giggle. After a bit Cera joined in slightly.
"I do have to admit, you 2 had it down pretty well. Just don't do it to often around me." Cera said, only the slightest bit annoyed.
"No, certainly not." Diver said.
"Once or twice may be funny, but not all the time, no, no, no." Ducky said, "and that is how Dusty and Rocky naturally speak not me."
-
"Things are getting ready for 11am. There is a area you can stand with Ian that won't be seen by the others, all we need is questions and want to run tests and stuff on this little fellow. Dinosaurs show intellengce that could be very much equal to us" Elm said to Evan. "That maybe why DIG been holding back from attacking, because they wish to not harm the dinosaurs since they know how intellengent these really are" Elm said to Evan.
-----
"Alright well we better get back to work" Lisa said putting her stuff away "It only about 3 and half hours before 11am" Lisa checked the time.
----
"Good" Sam enters and the lift goes down into a tunnel soon it stops with them stepping up into a large command room "Well to central command, this is our primary information is gathered" Big Boss explained as Sam looked at the humans and Rainbow Faces working at computers and some walking by going into corridors with papers or computer pads.
----
Littlefoot saw Chomper and Ruby "Chomper, Ruby! I am over here with Grandpa and Mr Thicknose!"
-
"Okay, that'll be fine. Just be careful with Ian..." Evan said.
"Yeah, I've noticed that. Ian here is quite the good example."
"Aren't you boy?" Evan said and pet Ian.
"Where is this place we should go?"
--------------
"Look, Chomper!"
"Littlefoot's over there!"
Ruby said and walked over to Littlefoot.
-
'Professor, is there a place that we could plant this tree? And by the way, how did the young dinosaur arrive here? Was it DIG? Or did it just get past security?' Argaya asked the Professor.
'We'll just plant this tree, let it sit for a little bit of time while we examine the scale that Startor gave us, and then come back and initiate the cell replication process.' Vylor added.
-
"This is Ian." Evan said to Argaya. "He belives I'm his daddy, I take care of him." he said and tickled Ian who laughed.
"If you want to know how he got here, you better ask Elm. As I don't think I'm the person to answer that question."
-
Major Ivan Petroski was in reality a NEA agent his mission was to report to NEA form inside the DIG he had been hand picked by frank for the mission. "White rabbit to alice I'm sending you more intel,' he said into the mic on his headphones.
------------------------------
A intel officer came up to frank and said "Execuse me sir but you have a message comming in'.
---------------
"Yeah I hear ya,' said frank getting up and walking to the intel room wher he closed the door.
"This is alice I read you loud and clear,' said frank. "What new intel do you have,' frank asked.
-----------------------
"I have some very disturbing intel,' replied Ivan. I'm gonna try to keep this short so they won't be able to trace this to my laptop,' said Ivan.
---------------------
"Have there been any suspicous activity lately,' asked sam who was worried there might be a spy in the base.
-
Big Boss device on his arm flashed he used his right claw hand opening it up "White Rabbit and Alice again" he turn to Sam "Go to that station that empty and type in 0-9-A-P-2-0. It will lock their commucation systems out which will make it impossible to end their chat." Big Boss said and listened in on their talk.
----
Elm looked to both of them "It was Gregg, he was a agent for DIG and his usefulness was over to DIG, now his Ian the little dinosaur no memiors no soul of what was Gregg." Elm told them "you must not tell anyone else of this or seeing Ian here."
Elm turn to Evan "You will take the lift by the falls it should lead to the cargo bay right in the viewing screen no one can see through it.
-
Sam typed in the code at the console. while he was doing this Ivam was telling frank about the DIG plans.
"Alice did you get that over,' asked Ivan,
-----------
"Yeah white rabbit I got that,' frank said. "Remember we need if you're discovered you know what do do,' said frank.
"Yeah I know,' replied Ivan. "So frank how are things there,' asked ivan who immedietly slapped his hand over his mouth.
"You fool you're suppose to use the code name,' frank cursed.
"Sorry,' said ivan.
"Just remember to get some Dcure NEA want to make a cure for it,' said frank.
"I'll try,' said ivan.
-
"Nice Sam, the code entered now they can't end their talk." Big Boss wave Sam over and activate the speaks on his device so Sam and Big Boss listened to them talk "They don't know about this place" he chuckled "Now should we cut in? Sam it all yours and speak out a code word name like erm... Rainbowman" Big Boss chuckled letting Sam have the pleasure to cut in on the chat "Oh and let Major Ivan Petroski know there three Rainbow Guards with DCure weapons on him"
-
'Don't worry about us spilling the beans. By the way, was it DCURE? That stuff is powerful. I hope we can get it banned. It is almost chemical warfare all over again.' Vylor asked.
'Yeah. DCURE is too powerful to be real. It completely changes an organism. Cell regeneration, DNA modification, cell destruction. Not only does it change the species, it shortens the life-span by causing the cells to regenerate, shortening the telomeres.' Argaya added.
(OOC: When I'm talking about all of this microbiological stuff, I am not kidding about it. This is what would happen at the cellular level if this DCURE was to exist.)
-
"With pleasure,' said sam who smiled. "This is rainbowman white rabbit or ahould I say Ivan it is my pleasure that three gaurds with dcure weapons are comming for you now,' said sam. "Ivan get out of there,' shouted frank. Ivan picked up his AK-47 and loaded a clip. "Ivan what are you doing,' asked frank. "I have to make a stand,' said Ivan. "Don't be a fool you'll be killed,' said frank. "Oh and frank We'll get you soon enough,' said sam who smiled evily. "the gaurds broke down ivans door and stormed the room. Ivan let loose with his weapon cutting down two of the gaurds before the third fired and hit him in the neck. "Ivan you still there,' asked frank. "Not for very long,' replied ivan weakly. "Oh no they've got you,' asked frank. "Yes I just wanted to say it's been an honor serving with you sir,' said ivan. before he screamed and was turned into a baby threehorn. "Well that was fun,' smirked sam. "No matter what if I have to hunt you down to the ends of the earth I will kill you,' said frank. "Oh I'm so scared,' said sam. "You should be,' said frank. "Yeah I'm shaking like a leaf now,' taunted sam. one of the other DIG personal in the room started laughing. "Now you listen here little punk you will pay,' shouted frank with rage.
-
Chomper smiled and waved as he saw Littlefoot and headed over there to where Littlefoot was. “So what are you talking about, anything fun or interesting?” He asked Littlefoot as he looked at him.
-
"Grandpa and Mr Thicknose coming to the meeting as well, also they met Startor for a short time though, she came and drop a messenge something like Elm knew I would tell some adults that could be trusted, I think that what she said" Littlefoot told Chomper and Ruby as they came over.
----
Elm shook his head "No Argaya he prefected the DCure in liquard form to not shorten the life span at all the first samples did but the improved ones we got on data doesn't it completely reviving cells in a new formed way... so you see Ian here he could live up to about well over 100 years, this stuff is beyond Earthly possibities... Big Boss is just as cleaver as me and he using alien technology that he understood very well now with the help of DNA from every dinosaur speices on this landmass including Rainbow Face to make this Dcure the most powerful and effective stuff now and all they need is one piece of DNA to complete the gas form of this and we have it" Elm fully explained to them around him.
---
"Hello Frank this is Big Boss, no need for such words, as I speak your friend being sent to you by boat to your Cliff Harbour the boat will be flying the Flag of non-aggestion it should be arriving in 20 minutes and the baby Threehorn will be dropped off for you personally, Ivan a boy and girl name I believe since his a she now" Big Boss chuckled "So will the NEA destory the boat and what left of Ivan or should they let you have your little friend back? your choice Frank"
Then Big Boss turn to Sam whispering to him quietly "Would you like to become one of my kind, you will keep your memiors and everything that makes you just your be swifter, smarter and well slightly stronger" Big Boss gave him a golden offer that he wouldn't simply hand out to anyone.
-
"Frank. His genetic research during the 80's was beyond compare. I see why they are after him. With Frank, he could finally complete a gaseous form of DCure, and use it as the worst weapon ever created. Even worse than nuclear or biological weaponry now. He could hold cities and countries for ransom." Argaya said, looking horrified.
"Why doesn't Frank have guards when he leaves the base? If DIG gets hold of him, we are all completely doomed, or in the words of Bender, 'Well, we're boned.'" Vylor added.
-
"Professer our only link in the DIG base has been dcured they'll be sending him back by boat with a flag on non agresson ETA 20 minutes,' said frank over a raido.
----------------
"Yes I accecpt your offer,' said sam.
-
Chomper smiled, "That sounds cool. That'll mean there'll be more of us there. I can't wait till the time comes. I want to see what is going to happen." Chomper said, excited and finding it hard to wait till the time came for them to head over to the spot.
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "Startor did seem nice and I am interested in meeting some more of these humans as I think they are called and also seeing what sort of event will occur at this meeting." He said looking at Chomper then at some of the others present.
-
Professor heard it over his intercom device and turn to the others "I got to go. Look Frank is safe, when he leaves the base there will be a guard support with him. It been arraged." Elm leaves them heading into the lift to the Train platform "Frank meet me at the Train Platform there a train on the way to pick us up" Elm told him over the comm.
---
"Bye for now" Big Boss close the channel then turn to Sam "Then this way please" Big Boss push a set of keys on his device strapped to his left arm opening a door walking through it to a slopped corridor which let to the room where the Dcure was stored including very special samples as well that Big Boss personally made they enter to see two men with three Rainbow Faces working at computers "Boys and girls get sample BB 01 ready for Sam"
"Yes sir" a female human spoke going over the draw and open it up and picking up a box out of it walking over to the table they stood in front of.
"inside contains the needle with the sample in it, all you have to do is put it in your arm and push it into your body, one thing at mind it will hurt alot as you change" Big Boss put some shades on and the others did as well "also for some reason the body lights up very brightly, most likely a chemcial reaction of the transformation, it would most likely for sure your changed form be too big and different formed for the clothes so they be destoryed by your change. As you notice my size and many other Rainbow Faces and just that bit taller then humans for our angle of standing" Big Boss told Sam the serious issues involved in this process.
-
Frank walked out of the intel room and headed for the train platform with his laptop. "We need a sample of dcure to make a cure for it now our only link inside DIG has been dcured,' frank said to himself before arriving at the platform.
-
Elm arrived at the station already and waits "This has turn into a big headache. How could we get a sample of the Dcure?" Elm wondered
---
"So Sam all you have to do is now inject yourself" Big Boss opens the lit up showing the sample inside. Elm I am giving you some of the liquard Dcure since like me it won't affect you, I own you so take it and don't mess up... Big Boss thought and remembering the rock falling down from the sky heading to where Mexico would be and being grabbed by another Rainbow Face as the freezing sleep process covered him the flash back fades as he awaits Sam to take it Now my debt been paid
-
Frank arrived at the station and asked elm "Now what do we do.'
-----------------
Sam injected himself and became a rainbow face. He looked over his new form "Very impressive I feel stronger than ever before,' he said.
-
Evan remained at place with Ian, Argaya and the others.
He wondered what he should do, at the moment, he was just a babysitter for Ian.
Not that I don't enjoy that he thought as he smiled and looked down on Ian who was playing with his shoelaces.
He sure was glad that he was here.
He sighed, and decided that he couldn't do anything at the moment.
Let's just wait untill the un-freezing...
Evan picked up a rock, and tossed it into the lake.
----------------
(NOTE: I'll be away for a week, going to Norway. I'll do my best to keep up with the RP by using my cell phone, but we'll see how it works out. :yes )
-
Train arrived and they got on instantly the train moving off to the Cliff Harbour "We should be there in 15 minutes, 4 minutes before they arrive" Elm said sitting down on a chair.
---
Big Boss and the others remove their shades putting them down "That bright every time." one spoke rubbing his eyes
"Indeed it is but it nothing to worry about. Sam now" Big Boss turn to Sam "to show what this place is really is" he walks to the lift in the room and Sam gets in as well then the doors close.
"It seems Big Boss finally found the trusted second officer he been searching for" one Rainbow Face spoke
"Yes it does, he never let anyone use that type of sample, only the most loyal and trusted" a human replied as he cleared up the destoryed clothing off the floor and through them into the bin.
"Specially his going to tell what this place is really is, now Sam is going to be startled, everyone is when they see that place for the first time" the Rainbow Face said back and they went back to work.
-
'So. Evan, why did you come here in the first place?' Vylor asked, sitting down next to a tree by the lake.
-
"Yeah,' said frank who sat down next to elm. Frank opened his laptop andopened the the file with the latest intel that had been sent to him. "The last bit of intel from ivan before he was dcured,' said frank showing elm the file.
-
Petrie flew from his nest looking for his friends. He saw Cera and some of them below and flying around a bit while going a little higher he saw Littlefoot's grandfather and Mr Thicknose, and a few that he thought he recognized. Flying lower and in that direction he saw it was Littlefoot and a few of the others. He flew in and landed on a branch close by.
"How everyone?" Petrie asked.
"Doing swell and you?" Chomper asked.
"Me ok, but glad to get away from tickling sister, but me got in a tickle when she no looking." Petrie said with a smile and a short laugh.
-
Grandpa Longneck smiled as Petrie came to join Littlefoot and Cera. He then commented "Nice to see you again Petrie. Are you ready for our adventure into the underground valley?"
At that moment Longtail flapped into view. He landed next to Petrie and said "Hello everyone. I'm really excited about to day. So when are we going?"
___________________________________________
Ricktor nodded to Lisa and said "Yes of course. you are right, we do need to return to work. I'll be in the labs if anyone needs me, okay?" He then turned and walked out of the cafe with a smile on his face still thinking about the information he'd heard.
"Wow...professor Elm...he's greater than I thought. I'll have to thank him the next time I see him.
-
Evan looked up.
'Hm? You mean why I was hired by the alliance in the first place?'
He said to Vylor.
'Or what I'm doing right here with Ian?' he added with a smile.
-
Fank sat back in his chair and began thinking. "Why is it that we don't have any photos's of this big boss,' he thought.
-
Elm took a look at the data "These devices all over the island it damping energy emissions, for so many of these there must be something very large and letting out alot of energy that DIG don't want anyone to see. But with this evidence we can't blast or bomb the island, even evading it. Dinosaurs that use to be people on that island are counted in the act of protection of dinosaurs" Elm spoke to Frank "he playing by the same rules so we, creating a stallmate" Train enter the large cavern with the lake in the middle with two men in protective suits taking samples of the water.
----
"Hey guys, Grandpa and Mr Thicknose joining us in the meeting with the humans today, they told of another entrance into their home" Littlefoot explained to Petrie and Longtail
---
-
"Yeah,' said frank in aggrement.
-
"That good." Petrie said, glad it wasn't of the other grown ups like Threehorn, Mr. Clubtail or one of those others.
Cera, Ducky, & Spike walked into the area, having gotten enough water and had gone to see what Littlefoot was up to.
"It is good to see you guys, it is, it is." Ducky said as she looked from one to the other smiling while riding on Cera.
"Hello guys, guess what." Chomper said, "Littlefoot's Grandpa & Mr. Thicknose will be joining us." Chomper said.
"That is good, it is. Don't you think so Spike?" Ducky asked Spike who nodded, also glad it wasn't Cera's dad or one of the less pleasant grownups to be around.
"I guess that is ok." Cera said, not sure about things and wanting to keep things to just themselves and not adults too, which may spoil their fun with their usual arguing and wanting to keep the fun to themselves or just talking and not doing anything.
-
"Sure is great indeed!" Ruby said.
"Where were we supposed to meet again?" she looked at Littlefoot.
-
Littlefoot look to the Thundering Falls "Startor said there a way in for us and Grandpa, Mr Thicknose at a place that not seen from any direction till your right next to the Thundering Falls" Littlefoot told them where it was.
---
At the time the train head to the harbour Big Boss and Sam reaches the place that he wished to show Sam the lift doors open and they step out to a massive engine core with the humming of energy flowing through Sam just stared at the size and scope of the core "Welcome to the Engine Core for Rainbow Delta, this place we in is a very large ship, discovered by the US and British 60 years ago in the ocean. It over 65 million years old and still work as a charm." Big Boss spoke with pride looking at the pulsing energy core
-
the train reached the terminal and came to a stop. "We're here,' said frank who followed elm off the train. As they walked off the trin 4 men with weapons were waiting. Frank snapped his fingers and they followed elm and him. "They're my most loyal soilders,' said frank to elm. as they walked to the docks.
-------------------
"Very impressive,' said sam who walked up a little closer.
-
'Why you came to the facility. My sister and I came to make major genetic breakthroughs. We are currently having a computer check which genes are missing from the seed's genome that are in the gingko's genome.' Vylor replied.
'We have a theory as to what genes are missing.' Argaya added.
-
"Well...." Evan started.
"I guess my reason's the same as yours."
"However, I'm one of the leading when it comes to communicating with animals and understanding them."
"Please don't look at me like I'm Dr.Doolittle..."
"Though, the closest I've ever been to dinosaurs, is aligators and birds."
"Untill now." he thrown an eye at Ian.
"However, now that it seems that we can understand the dinosaurs without any problem, which is fascinating itself, I really don't know what I'm doing here."
"You might wanna ask Elm about it."
"It's not that I don't want to be here, this is a oppurtunity of a lifetime!"
"I'm a scientist in a world of dinosaurs!" he chuckled.
"But, I'm curious about the DCURE... there's something..."
"If they were able to create something such as what turned Gregg into this baby, I'm quite sure that they must be lying on a far more developed DCURE somewhere."
"Something that doesn't erase the memory."
"You're the genetics, do you think a more advanced form of DCURE would be possible to develop?"
"Even more, a cure for it?"
"Another thing I've been thinking about, humans injected with DCURE turn into dinosaurs right?"
"Same dinosaurs as anyone in the Valley above."
"And these dinosaurs shows huge recemblence to humans when it comes to behaviour, intelligence and communicating." "To me, that's not quite a change in behaviour?"
"The only thing missing, is the memory of the previous organism, the human before it was injected."
"I do wonder why they decide to do this, instead of killing the human instantly."
"The result would be fairly thesame, however, the DCURE method gives the Valley a new resident. For what purpose? Mercy? Lack of imigration?
-
'A cure would be possible, but I would require a sample of DCURE, and a sample of the victim's original DNA. I could possibly induce a reverse DCURE transformation, but it would be very risky for Gregg.' Argaya said.
-
"You mean on Ian? I won't let anyone run anything on him, unless Elm wishes it."
"I'd rather be injected on myself, and then you could run test on my DCURED form..." Evan said with a serious tone.
-
"Professer if my DNA is the key to the gas form of dcure it may also be the cure for it,' said frank as they waited for the boat to show up.
-
'If I were you, I would go to Frank. We are great geneticists, but Frank is our superior, in both this facility and in the world of genetics. He is a master of gene splicing. He went as far as splicing himself, and that is how his tail came to be. Our pointed ears are a form of plastic surgery, they aren't natural. We have been trying to create a genetic code for pointed ears, but we can't find out how. Trust me, you won't want to be treated with DCURE. It would be too risky, and we may not be able to change you back.' Vylor said.
-
"I'd sure like to speak with Frank."
"Problem is he's gone now, isn't he?"
"I don't think anyone would inject me anyway." Evan said.
"That's a question of how far I would volunteer for science, and for Ian's saftey."
"I just wait for Elm to tell me what I should be doing."
"For now, I'll be teaching and taking care of little Ian here."
-
"Sir the boat is coming in" one of the comm officers spoke out as the boat enters the harbour the young men looked very scared in the boat seeing so many guns locked on them.
"We unarmed! Serious we unarmed we only do delivers!" One spoke out
"Yeah we don't even have the rank to hold a weapon!" the second said afterwards as the boat come into the dock. "Please take the dinosaur before I wet myself with all these guns on me..." the second one held up the baby sleeping Triceratops to Frank
"Yeah take this box as well... B-b-bo-Boss wanted Professor Elm to have it, something in this tin that only he can touch... that what the boss said" the first hands the tin box to Elm "Please take the dinosaur... I want to go back to just playing cards... this line of duty is not often but we love our free time!"
Elm looked to all the men "lower your guns they no harm. they not even armed the boat is a simple speedboat" Elm said holding the tin box "Frank if you don't mind take her so these men can leave"
-
Farnk nodded his head and his gaurds lowered their guns. He took the baby threehorn in his hands. "Awww it's so cute,' one of his gaurds said. "I think I'll name her Melissa,' said frank.
-
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "It must be very well hidden. That could be why it has not been seen by anyone in the area yet. Perhaps concealed behind a bush or vines or something like that." He said.
"Sounds like they're hiding something." Cera said with a look of skepticism on her face.
"Maybe they have a good reason, they may." Ducky said to Ducky.
"I'm sure they do have a good reason, or believe that they do." Mr. Thicknose said.
"Maybe." Cera said, not fully convinced.
-
the two scared men got to the seats and using what possible speed in the boat left in a rush scared out of their minds "We should head back, the meeting be in a 2 hours" Elm suggested to Frank and seeing the little threehorn waking up looking right at Frank.
---
"It not long to go, the bright circle is almost there" Littlefoot looked to the sky.
-
"Yeah good idea,' said frank.
---------
Melissa looked up at frank and started crying. "Oh now melissa there no need to cry,' said frank. Melissa looked up at frank and squicked happily at him. "Professer where's evan I think melissa here would make a great friend to what did you say the greggs new name was,' asked frank.
-
Cera got a bit of an impatient look on her face, "Let's head over there right now." She said then partially turned as if she were about to start walking in the direction Littlefoot had said.
-
"Well it not going to open till they said what time it suppose to open, it won't be seen easy when closed it looks like and feel like part of the Great wall. They know how to really hide stuff" Littlefoot explained
----
"Ian I believe his name is" as they head back to the train and the doors close heading back to the Complex. "Also no one, I mean no one can access this inside of the tin..." Elm said to Frank "I have feeling it something that a debt is going to be repaid from Big Boss, before he was DIGs leader I saved his life from a major explosion that would of killed him ever since he owned me is life and now I have a feeling his repaid it by giving me the purest form ever of the DCURE. but you can't tell anyone this" Elm said in a serious tone to Frank. "Please promise me you would this is deeply personally and I am trusting you enough to tell you"
-
"I swear not to tell,' said frank. "So let's get to evan besides we porbbaly wouldn't anyone to see melissa,' said frank.
-
"Hiding stuff, sounds a bit suspicious to me. And what are we suppose to do till then?" Cera said suspicious of these strange humans she had not met yet.
Ducky brightened up smiling, we can talk, or play a game, like log running." She said.
"Oh, not that." Cera said, remembering the last time she had tried that and what happened and how her dad reacted, "I'd rather just talk and be bored then give dad a reason to get mad."
"Like he need reason." Petrie said very quietly to himself.
Cera looked up at Petrie with some mild anger in her face and voice, "What did you say?" Cera asked.
"Like need reason to pass time. We talk. Petrie to excited to play." He said, hoping Cera would not think he said what he said and wishing he had not let it slip.
"Yes, talking can be fun. After all you do enjoy hearing one of Mr. Longneck's stories." Mr. Thicknose said.
"Yes, we do, yep, yep, yep." Ducky said smiling and nodding happily.
"At least they are better then Pterano's wild stories." Cera said.
"No go there." Petrie said.
Since they were not doing anything interesting Spike walked over to a nearby bush and started eating.
-
Back in the Greenhouse, Evan was playing with Ian.
He tried different games of learning, much like those humans use at home with their youngs. Ian showed no difference.
Every little task he solved without any trouble at all.
After all that he'd seen, Evan was not suprised about it.
Though he didn't want to cause Ian any harm, he was curious about how much alike Ian's DNA would be to a human of the same age.
He was gonna ask Argaya about that later.
Now, Ian was resting in the knees of Evan.
"I guess you better sleep for a while, untill Littlefoot and his friends come." Evan mumbled.
-
Elm and Frank arrive back at the lab and then Elm said to Frank "why don't you take her down to Greenhouse B7, Evan should be done there, his field of studies is based on life styles of all forms of life and what he knows of Ian is that they are very quick learners their minds seem to be open to countless possibitiles depending on the very father, mother or herd relations" Elm said to Frank.
"I am going to my lab to check this sample out and put it in the safe as well so no one can be affected by this pure sample" Elm said then heads to his lab. "Oh Frank, you, Evan and the little ones go in the lift by the lake in the next zone, that will take you into the shielded viewing room, looks like your going to be seeing our guests face to face afterall" Elm smiled knowing Frank will like that alot then he leaves
---
Littlefoot watched what they said and had to agree with Cera about Ducky's game then turn to Cera "I think they unfreezing the Rainbow Faces we met before when we found that rock they spoke of as some stone of cold fire but isn't" Littlefoot made sure to say those words so Cera didn't snap at him for saying it was some magical rock.
-
Frank took the elevator to greenhouseB7. "Let's get something to eat now shall we,' he said to melissa. Melissa squicked happily at frank. The elevatordoors opened and frank walked off to find evan.
-
Cera got a mad look on her face, "I don't trust them. They acted like knew it all, but wouldn't say anything, and it was their fault for what happened to Ducky with their lies and untrue stories about the stone having magic powers. HA, magic, there is no such of a thing." Cera said skeptical about how the rainbowfaces could be trusted.
"I have heard a little of these rainbow faces." Mr Thicknose said, "I was in another part of the valley but was heading back when I was told by a flyer about an important meeting they were having. I wasn't sure if I'd get there in time so told him how I'd vote in case I didn't make it in time." Mr. Thicknose said, not mentioning that he had seen some strange shaft of light that night when he was walking towards the meeting place.
"Things turned out ok, they did." Ducky said.
Petrie nodded, "They help us get top of mountain." Petrie said.
"Well, if they had not told those likes about the stone having magic, " Cera said, the word magic said with a very sarcastic tone of voice, "They would not have needed to help what they caused. I think maybe they should stay frozed. They caused trouble the last they were here." Cera said.
Mr Thicknose nodded, "That is a valid point. They may not have meant for all that to happen that did, but they are at least partially responsible. Any intelligent person has to know what may happen if one starts spreading stories of an item or person having special powers." He said. "Though the primary responsibility lies with the 3 flyers." Mr Thicknose said, not mentioning their names since one was Petrie's uncle and he didn't wish to cause the young flyer undue pain.
"He sorry for what he did, he change. He save Ducky." Petrie said with some hurt in his voice.
Ducky nodded, "He did, he did. The flight back to the Great Valley was far more fun then the flight to the booming mountain." Ducky said.
Petrie turned to the direction he had seen his uncle fly way. "5 cold times, it forever." He said.
Mr. Thicknose walked a bit closer to where Petrie was and said in a more comforting tone of voice, "Some indeed to mature quickly when they experience a traumatic incident in their lives. Pterano may have matured quite a bit in those few moments right before he saved Ducky, but only time will tell." He then smiled to Petrie, "5 cold times may feel like a long time now, but it'll pass quicker they you know and as you get older it'll not seem as long as it does not." he said.
-
Frank set melissa down. She treid to walk but tripped over her feet. 'Guess I better teach you to walk then,' said frank. "First you lift one foot the set it down in front of you then do it again now you try,' said frank. Melissa started walking but went to fast and tripped over a vine. "Careful now melissa,' said frank. Melissa squicked back in response.
-
Meanwhile Sam was still marveling at the core of the DIG base. "It's simpley amazing,' he said.
-
Evan was looking trough his bag for a new pair of glasses, when he heard someone coming.
'Who is there?'
he said. Ian got up behind him, yawning and stretching his body and tail.
-
"It's me frank,' frank replied walking up with melissa waddling behind be. "Professer Elm said I should come down here,' said frank
-
Big Boss smiled "I knew you would be, this power is being blocked by dampers all over the island." Big boss explained "Now lets get back to the surface, I will give you the key task of the air craft deployment and making sure some personally don't disobey me again." Big Boss finished explaining the tasks given to Sam "Also you have two Rainbow Guards that will be under your orders but I can override those orders still"
----
Littlefoot sighed "I know but the night before that weird awakening with all that melting frozen water, I saw them heading to one of those landing strange lights then the humans told me that they woke us up from one of those things that the two Rainbow Faces where found frozened." Littlefoot explained then said "Also I think the humans said that we was found frozen too till Elm found a way to turn the things off and woke us up out of the frozen water." Littlefoot remembering the best he can of what Elm and Evan said and what he saw that night a cold time ago.
-
"Maybe, I still don't know." Cera said. Her skepticism in her voice and face.
"Hmm, I wonder why we were frozen in the first place and for how long. It must have been a long time for the night lights to have changed as they did." Mr. Thicknose said curious.
"I wonder what meeting the humans will be like, and what will happen. I do, I do." Ducky said.
"Maybe it be scary." Petrie said a bit scared. "Me exciteded too." He said, glad he had his friends and 2 of the grown ups that he liked with him.
"We will not know till we get there and see." Chomper said, a bit excited and scared also.
-
The time for the meeting was coming close now the sun almost at the point the sky and time being 10:23am to human time, Elm been looking at the pure sample he got from Big Boss then put it away in the safe to look at after the meet. The two little dinosaurs as well been enjoying their little fun playing around in front of Evan and Frank.
---
Littlefoot looked to the sky "Looks like it almost time, we should head to the thundering falls" Littlefoot suggested. "The left side of the falls I believe Startor stated" Littlefoot recalling what she said.
-
Mr. Thicknose smiled, "Then shall we be off. This should be interesting to all of us, and perhaps the humans too." He said, looking forward to the new experience.
"It's like.. an adventure." Ducky said smiling.
-
Elm turn on his intercom to Evan and Frank "It almost time." he told them as he walked to the Cargo Bay.
---
Littlefoot look to Mr Thicknose "I think we only going to talk to only a few humans the others I don't think are allow to see us, something to do with some humans would want to ask a million of questions at once" Littlefoot spoke to Mr Thicknose.
-
Frank turned to evan and said "Well I guess we'd better get up there.'
-
Ricktor heard the announcement over the intercom and nodded his head as he left the labs and headed for the cargo bay where the demonstration was to take place. 'I hope this goes well...and we can make some new friends.' He thought to himself.
___________________________
Grandpa Longneck smiled at Mr.Thicknose's statement and replied "Yes I too look forward to this new experience. This should be interesting."
Longtail was shaking with excitement as he said "I hope it's soon...I can't stand waiting much longer!"
-
"Lets head over there, and if they are not there in time we can always try shouting down that hole in the ground of theirs to wake them up." Cera said.
"Lets just hope they won't be to late if they are late." Mim said, not sure how to react to what Cera said. "Shouting down holes shouldn't be needed if they said when to meet them there."
Ducky nodded, "Oh yes, let's go, let's." She said excited.
"We off? Good." Petrie said, also excited and glad to be setting off at once.
"A million questions at once? I think some of us will have questions for them, and it is natural to have many questions if you meet someone, especially if they are of a type you have not seen before." Mr. Thicknose said.
-
They head to the thundering falls and inside the Cargo Bay the finishing screening area was completed over the large cargo door. Elm stood there looking up "Well this is going to be quite a neck ache"
"Tell me about it" Startor looked up at the blacken sheild that was fitting up then they went to the door on it and opened it
Elm watch everyone getting gathered "go in and wait for Evan and Frank to come up that lift, I will stay out here to make the annocement to everyone" Startor nods and close the door behind her then he turn to see everyone walking in standing the over head platforms and others sitting down on the seats that brought in from some watery stadiums the rows enough to fit 1000 people but the people in the complex was only 89 so almost all seats be empty. "It almost time people. Everyone get seated alright!" Elm said out loud to everyone through a mic.
-
"You're right."
Evan said.
"Ian!" Ian walked up next to Evan.
"Time to go, boy."
"And this is Frank. He's my friend."
Evan said as they went to the elevator.
Ian seemed a little scared about it, but he trusted his daddy who picked him up during the ride.
------
NOTE: It's a mess to use the cellphone, so I'll just do Evan.
Until I get back, anyone might control Ruby.
-
Frank walked with evan holding melissa. "so I wonder what the who the special guests are,' said frank.
-
(who going to help Lilefoot out for now with doing Ruby for him?)
Startor saw the lift doors open up "Ah there you are boys." she said to Evan and Frank "the guests about to come through those doors behind you in about..." she looked at the watch on her arm "any minute"
---
Elm looked at the time "it almost time people! every seated?" he called out to everyone "sooner everyone sits the sooner we can begin"
---
Littlefoot and the others with the two adults arrive at the left side of the THundering falls coming to a area that was abit inclosed from view from a bit away from the falls "I think this is the place" Littlefoot looked around. "guess we wait for a moment"
-
"Are you sure this is the place?" Chomper asked looking at Littlefoot.
"I hope this doesn't take long." Cera said looking around at some of the walls, wondering if they would open at all.
"I haven't felt this excited since I went to see Hidden Runner. I'm sure this will be, very interesting for both us and the humans." Mr. Thicknose said.
"Me hope we not wait long." Petrie said, landing on Mr. Thicknose and looked around.
Spike stood nearby and ate as he waited with the others.
-
Startor look at her watch then calls out "Open them up!" she said into a radio
"yes mam" the people at the control room that been told by Elm not to tell what they see at the gates activate the seals to open it up.
---
"Yeah I..." Littlefoot heard a loud hissing sound then turn around to see the rocky wall pull back a bit then start to lower into the ground and as it lowers Grandpa get to see three humans and two baby dinosaurs then the rest see them as the gates slide down all the way and a metal ramp goes over the part that just lowered into the floor. "Whoa that amazing"
"Welcome to Gamma Complex, come on in, As you see you can see everyone in the Cargo Bay but this screen" Startor touch it "this stops the people on the other side from hearing or seeing you all. ONly a selected few can see and talk to you for reasons we all understand" Startor spoke calmly to them all. "Oh yes these two is Ian and Melissa, they hatched from eggs only a few days ago which we found in ice and unfreezed and kept the eggs warm till they choose to hatch a few days ago" Startor points to Ian the Longneck and Melissa the Threehorn. "Now can you all please come in so we can close the gates up to not get any unwelcome guests" she asked kindly to them.
"There is enough room for everyone to stand or sit or even lay if you wish in this place, we also put some soft flooring down over the hard metal floors since Littlefoot did complain about the floor being very hard and unconfortable to walk or stand on" Startor said with a friendly smile.
Littlefoot walked in right away and step on the flooring "wow it very soft, thanks for taking thought about us on your hard floor"
"not at all" Startor smiled then look to Chomper "I think it about time we let them all in on our secert"
"huh?" Littlefoot looked at her
"you see Chomper found me right away after you all woke up, it been his and my sceret for all this time, not even Elm or anyone else knows till now, Chomper and I agreed to keep it quiet and talk to each other to get to know each other before letting anyone else know. It was a safe action to take" Startor knelt down and rubbed Chomper's head a little "Now you get to see my home. Might not look much compared to the Valley but this place is made up of many many rooms small and large with paths leading to each." Startor explained to CHomper and everyone.
-
Frank looked at the guests and said "Hello I'm frank anderson.'
-
Littlefoot looked at Frank with a raised eye "Erm I'm Littlefoot..." then Littlefoot had to ask "Frank how come you got a tail like us dinosaurs?" Littlefoot looked really confused
-
"Well I used some DNA from a dino that was frozen and incorperated it with my own DNA,' said frank.
-
Grandpa Longneck was indeed most impressed with everything he'd seen so far...from the wall opening, to actually meeting the humans...it was all just a new experience that he was finding more and more enjoyable. He looked down at Frank as Littlefoot asked his question and the elderly longneck smiled at his grandsons curiosity.
He then looked down at baby Ian, and thought back to when Littlefoot was that small...but that was a long time ago. He then addressed Startor and said "I thank you for allowing us to be here. It truly is a wonderful place, my grandson was not fibbing about that part."
Longtail for the first few minutes had been too stunned to do much of anything, but once he came to his senses he jumped up and began to fly around the large hanger bay, doing dives, rolls and spins in the air. "this place is great!" he then asked aloud "Are we going to be given a tour? That would be so much fun!"
-
(OOC: I can do Ruby, unless someone else wants to, if so Just say so and feel free to post as her.) )
Ducky watched the doors open, getting a bit closer to Spike, who she was sitting on, since she was a bit afraid. Spike looked at the opening door and his eyes grew as he stopped eating.
Petrie shivered a bit and cowered down on Mr. Thicknose, not sure what horrible creature would burst out.
"Most Interesting." Mr. Thicknose said as he walked a step or 2 closer to the opening door.
Cera stood her ground, ready for whatever would happen.
Chomper watched, excited, "It's happening." He said.
"It looks like we don't need to wait any longer since our waiting is over and what we came here to see we are seeing." Ruby said.
-----
Cera looked at the humans still a bit skeptical, "This better not be a trap." Then she looked at the humans as they spoke, "You don't look like sharpteeth." She said looking at their hands and what she could see of their teeth as Startor spoke.
Ruby looked at them as she walked in with the others, "You are quite unique looking since I have not see your kind before."
Cera looked at the young dinos with the humans, "Are you sure you didn't steal them or the eggs they came from?" She asked, still not sure of the humans. She walked with the others, noticing how nice and soft the floor was to walk on.
Spike took a sniff of the flooring. It may be as soft or softer then grass, but it didn't smell like it was green food. He took a lick as he paused in his walking, and went back to walking. Diffidently not good to eat.
Ducky looked around as Spike walked in amazed by everything.
Chomper smiled as his head was rubbed. He nodded, "I liked our talks and hope we can have more." He looked around, "Your home looks, amazing." He said.
-
Startor turn to Longtail getting up "Watch out for the screens they just visiable to the light shining on them from the ceiling lighting, luckly they built into the ceiling and protected by 2 inch thick plastic, but that sheilding screens are very solid walls you can see through" Startor explained hoping Longtail would not fly right into the sheild screenings.
Startor turn to Cera "It not a trap alright, so chill out. Last thing the Professor wants is a conflict to start with you guys and us" Startor spoke as they all step in and she calls over in the radio "Close the gates"
"Yes mam" came a reply and the flaps raise with the wall raising up then sliding back into place with a hissing sound the gate locks shut.
"Professor Elm will make a annocement in a few minutes so you can keep asking those questions, talking to us till then" Startor smiled to them saying it kindly and polite.
Littlefoot looked at the babies "Not sure Cera, why would they steal eggs? they most likely was trapped in frozen water and Startor just brought them back to try and save them and they got them to hatch" Littlefoot said to Cera.
-
No thing. Post incomplete
-
Frank looked at littlefoot and said"They were found in thier nests with no adults around now I'm sure that at least one parent would look after them but since they were not there we figured their parents died.'
-
"Well," Cera said still not sure about them, "I guess they didn't steal them from anyone in the Great Valley since I"m sure we'd have heard of missing eggs." Cera said, guessing that her father would make sure the valley knew within seconds of his hearing about it, especially any missing threehorn egg. "
Mr. Thicknose looked around the place, "How long did it take you to make all this, and how long have you been here. It is quite.... amazing." He said.
Ducky looked at the babies, "Maybe it is like when I found Spike's egg. He had not mommy and daddy nearby so he came to the Great Valley with us and my mommy and daddy adopteded him." She said. Spike nodded, remembering.
"Big place." Petrie said looking around from the back of Mr. Thicknose where he was.
Chomper sniffed around to see if he could smell what different sorts were there that they could not see. "This place looks like it could hold many people." Chomper said.
"It is large. A small place would not be large enough for Littlefoot's grandfather to walk into, or the rest of us as well." Ruby said. "This is indeed exciting." She said.
-
"Well I can't really answer that quesiton I was here when it was being built but this been around 2 years I gather." Startor counting in her head how long the complexs been around "about a year before we found a way to wake all you dinosaurs up. Also one is built near to a peak that well shaped like a Threehorn"
"Threehorn Peak? you have another complex there?" Littlefoot looked amazed
"Yeah it far smaller then this one. It more for stroaging DNA and information gathering" Startor replied to his question.
"Wow that cool" Littlefoot looked around then see Elm "There Elm! By the big frozen water. Look in it, it the Rainbow Faces! but why does it look like they falling?"
"We not sure all we could guess is that they activated the units that put you all to sleep and must of blown out on them sending them flying backwards and freezing them in sleep like stat in that position that our only idea" Startor said to Littlefoot
"Big place." Petrie said looking around from the back of Mr. Threehorn where he was.
(Mr THicknose you mean lol :lol )
-
Longtail heard the warning for the screens, but as he flew around happily he missed two and hit a third with a loud smack right in his face. He slid down the glass screen cover and caught himself as he fell and landed on his feet.
He shook his head to clear the spots that danced in his vision. He then smiled sheepishly and said "Sorry...heh...well they work. And now my head is sore...but I'm okay."
Grandpa Longneck smiled and laughed at Longtail as he said "Well, perhaps next time you will be a little slower when you fly, but I am glad to hear that you are okay."
-
"Now that had to hurt,' said frank. "As that old pilot saying goes a good crash is one you can walk away from,' frank said chuckling.
-
Longtail smiled at Frank and said "Oh this is nothing you should see me when I'm flying between the trees...I'm better when I can actually see what I'm flying towards."
-
"Yeah it's a great feeling flying round that wide open sky,' said frank.
-
((message from Gustav. He's not able to post messages with his cell phone anymore. Threehorn may control his characters))
-
(Is that Evan?)
Startor chuckled a little "well that teach you a lesson" suddenly they heard the musical note played for the annocment "It starting" Startor turn to look where Elm stood.
Evan kept Ian up in his arms and listened in "here we go"
----
Elm clears his throat then speaks "Welcome everyone to the major meeting at 10 past 11 in the morning. I welcome those are special guests today as well, we will be today unfreezing two dinosaurs in this ice with this device, it took a year to repair and reconfigureant to allow them to be unfreezed, as you see here the crash matts will soften their fall." Elm talks calmly to them all through the mic. "men are you ready?"
the men slide the machine into place ready to activate it "yes sir" both men said getting the systems powered up.
"Now we believe these two where the ones that saved every dinosaur on this landmass from the sad fate that lead to the lose of all the others accross the world 65 million years ago. A rock the size of a massive island crashed from the skies. These two activated a massive set that is to believe to freeze sleep everyone on this island protecting it from the blast of the rock caused covering the whole island in a massive layer of ice. This is only theory though, but the technoloy is evidence of that what we found" Elm speaks calmly through to mic of the theory behind it all.
----
"wow they really saved us..." Littlefoot was amazed that the Rainbow Faces did such a act. "See Cera, they really helped us out"
"Remember it a theory, we could be wrong all we know but the evdience of the devices when we found them and deactivating them let to our belief it was these two that freeze sleep everyone on the landmass including the Great Valley. so maybe your right" Startor turn to Littlefoot talking as it was theory but had to agree with what Littlefoot saying.
---
"Sir we ready when you are" one of the men called out.
"Alright begin" Elm spoke, the device starts to fire a beam at the ice then all the sudden it shatters to pieces with both Rainbow Faces flying out into the crash mat and then seconds later sounds of one telling the other to get off the other "Good Morning" Elm spoke they suddenly stopped aurging at each other then look at Elm then around seeing they was in some sort of large inside place.
(Who like to be the male and Female Rainbow Faces? or some people takes one of each?)
-
(I'll be the male one)
"Who are you,' asked the male rainbow face.
------------
Frank watched on "Well maybe after everyone else leaves we could talk to them,' said frank.
-
"I am Professor Elm and this my friends is the year 2012 to the human calander, you been freezen sleep for 65 million years" he puts the mic away turning it off then walking over to them and whispers to them
----- (Mic turned off no one can hear them talking at this point)
"I should know because you two failed to show up on time having to send two others to find out what happened Big Boss..."
"Elm? Elmston?" the female whispers back Elm shows a little device on strape to his arm and winks "65 million years you said?" she gets up and look to the male one "Look like..." she pause looking around at all the humans at their seats looking at the two.
----- (mic now turn back on)
Elm takes the mic back on and steps up to them "They know of your technology, everyone including those behind the screening over there" Elm points to the blacken wall "they can hear and see you but you can't see of hear them. Once this meeting over you will see them ok you two?" Elm look at them and the female nods and elbows the male one he nods as well.
"Right we figured out the pieces from finding the landmass a year ago and since then it took this long to get this working to wake you up" Elm touch the machine with his hand then points to the scientist that stood up "these people aided in the project I was leading and help get this working, is them and I you should thank the most but the big question is..."
Elm went back to them "Was it you two who saved the dinosaurs from harm 65 million years ago? planting the units all over the land mass? The Truth" Elm put the mic at them both waiting for a answer.
"Well you always spilled things we wasn't suppose to say, go ahead and tell them all, it your moment to shine" the female Rainbow Face said looking right at him. "Fill free to speak out, I am not stopping you this time."
-
"Yes it was us,' said the male rainbow face.
-----------
Frank wondered why elm turned the mic off when he talked to the two. "Most interesting,' he said to himself. As he watched he remembered he had been told that a great desteny awaited him. "Might those two understand the dreams I've been having and the tatoo on my should,' he thought looking at his right shoulder.
-
"Wow so they did save us!" Littlefoot beamed out happily.
"I wonder as well Frank about the mic turning off" Evan said to him. "I saw that look on your face when he turn the mic off, so I guessed you was wondering" Ian nods seeming to understanding some what Evan was saying.
Startor knelt down to Chomper "So bud are you able to take a scent of the two Rainbow Faces and Elm?" Startor whispers to Chomper just him hearing her "Whisper back at this low voice" she said quietly to him.
---
"Well many people here going to have questions, so we will let a few of them ask some if that is ok with you two" Elm hands the mic over to the female Rainbow Face.
"I believe it's alright, since there seem to be a fair bit of technology here to build such a place like this and to repair that" she said seeming a bit on the side of weariness.
Elm went up to one that put his hand up "Please be calm on the question, only 3 will be asked then once answered we will give them room to recover which means everyone get back to duties after the three questions." Elm explained to them before giving the mic to that person.
-
"I'm hoping they'll understand what this means,' said frank showing startor a tatoo of two rainbowfaces fighting on his right shoulder.
-
Startor wasn't taking much notice since she was talking to Chomper in a low quiet voice but Littlefoot looked at Frank's tail then the Rainbow Faces he could see "Your tail looks like a Rainbow Face tail"
-
"Well the DNA sample was that of a rainbowface,' said frank. "I have a feeling that I'm suppose to meet the ones just released.'
-
(ooc: I guess he was able to and can smell they are the same, if not feel free to say and I"ll edit the post.)
Chomper had been sniffing, attempting to hide his real reason for sniffing, "So that is what Rainbowfaces smell like and look like." He said. To Startor he lowered his voice so only she could hear, "yes, they smell like the same kind."
"Is it them?" Ducky asked, having only briefly seen them before she was kidnapped by Pterano and the other 2 flyers.
"It them." Petrie said looking at the Rainbow faces. "Petrie remember."
"Yea, it's them all right. I guess they'll start talking in riddles and acting like they know it all. Though I guess it was nice they saved us all, I wonder why. Very few help unless they have a reason behind helping." Cera said, still a bit unsure of what was really going on. She had learned from her dad, and from the adventures with Littlefoot, things seldom were always what they looked like at first.
"So, those are the famous rainbowfaces I have heard some of the other grownups talk about. Interesting." Mr. Thicknose said looking at the Rainbowfaces.
"Me still wonder what he about to say about enormous black, enormous black what, enormous black sharptooth. Bigger even then Red Claw or the first sharptooth we met on way to Great Valley?" Petrie said and shivering at the memories he had of those 2 sharpteeth, especially the first one.
Mr. Thicknose looked at Petrie briefly from having been looking at the Rainbowfaces. "Maybe they meant an enormous black mountain, or an enormous black rock." Mr. Thicknose said.
"I bet he was just making it up, to sound like he knows more then he really does." Cera said.
"If so he wouldn't be the first, nor the last." Mr Thicknose said.
"Me no sure they help on purposes. Me remember she get mad when he help us by bringing green food while we sleep in cave." Petrie said.
"Sometimes people act different at different times and for different reasons." Ruby said looking at the rainbowfaces then to Petrie.
-
Longtail looked confused as he asked "Wait...rainbow faces...I've never seen those two before...who the treesweet are they? And why do they look exactly the same?"
Grandpa Longneck smiled and said "I'm sure you'll get to ask them yourselfs...although I too am curious as to why they are here stuck in frozen water." He looked down to Mr.Thicknose and asked "Do you have any ideas?"
-
"So the Professor is one of them" Startor whispered back "But he been around for over 50 years, his age to the health records is 78." Startor whispers to Chomper
"----If he from the past and frozen sleep in a different area but woke and merge with the human race it would make sense----,(only chomper hears this) his done alot of things that helped, he also managed form the New Earth Alliance that ended a war amoung us humans those that was very greedy for power. If it wasn't for him no one would of found this island and figured out how to use that technology" Startor whispers the frozen sleep part to Chomper then stands up speaking loud the rest about Elm
"I heard he did form the EWA that brought most of the worlds human race together under the flag of truce and friendship, that no matter how different you are big or small we are all born from this very soil we walk on, which includes the Dinosaurs and little Ian" Evan said rubbing Ian's rub softly he squcking happily.
-
(yes, Gustav is evan, I guess.)
-
"Yeah I heard that too,' said frank. "After the fighting ended offically there was still some restance from those who didn't want peace I was one of a few chosen to par take in a attack on the restance's base,' said frank thinking back.
-
"Wow you wasn't kidding about humans there are good and bad ones. Petrie's uncle was kind of wanted power to rule the Great Valley with some sort of magic belief of the stone of cold fire" Littlefoot said looking over at them with surprise how much alike how some things sounded comparing events. "but learned from his mistake and left as punishment... wait a sec. if we was frozen sleep that long wouldn't that mean Petrie's uncle stay in the mysterious beyond for 5 cold times is over?" Littlefoot just thought about the punishment of staying out of the Great Valley.
Startor thought about it "I think that would be the case"
-
Frank nodded in aggrement. "For most of my life I've fought those humas that are not good,' said frank.
-
Mr. Thicknose thought over what he had seen before responding to Grandpa Longneck. "It would seem to me that even if they did intentionally use that thing on us to put is into a long sleep, they did not intend to include themselves. Did you see how they looked like they were jumping or falling back before they were thawed out, then then continued once they were brought out of the effect and fell into those soft things there." Mr. Thicknose said, "It sounds like they may have intended to save us indeed, but not to include themselves in what they did to us and that was an accident."
--------------------
Chomper thought of that, "Maybe his kind live a very long time, or they use devices to keep themselves from getting older as well as the ice sleep device." He said low so only Startor could hear.
"Working together is better then fighting, yep, yep, yep." Ducky said nodding. Spike nodded, agreeing with her.
"Petrie agree." Petrie said also nodding.
"Fighting really hurts and is not very nice." Chomper said remembering.
Mr. Thicknose nods, "Fighting usually leads to more fighting. Though there are times when one must fight, working together is the better solution in the long run." He said.
"People fighting seldom work together, and those working together do sometimes fight." Ruby said.
-
"Yeah fighting isn't good I've learned that and have seen it many times,' said frank. "Also fighting has a way of staying with you,' said frank.
-
The male rainbowface stood there waiting for someone to ask a question.
-
(OOC: I guess that means the humans since I guess the dinos are some distance from where the rainbowfaces are. Close enough to see them but far away in case the device exploded or something so the dinos from the Great Valley would not be injured.)
-
(Yeah that's what I was meaning)
-
(I edited the post that being Ricktor since The Great Valley Guardian isn't around for the moment I having a perons speak the first question then whoevers human personally charcater that which to ask next that not Frank, Startor and Evan who with the dinosaurs at the moment..)
The human was one of the guards that had been with the ice "The technology we seen to put to sleep and freeze the dinosaurs is alien in technology or is it that you guys just evolved faster then the other dinosaurs and left the planet Earth and just came back time and again to see how the other dinosaurs was devolping?" The Guard had asked a theory question.
-
"Well we had evolved faster than other dinosaurs and we left and can back later to see how the current generation was doing,' replied the male rainbow face to the gaurd.
-
"What does evolve mean?" Ducky asked looking at Mr. Thicknose and Ruby.
"Me want to know too." Petrie asked also, looking at Mr. Thicknose also.
"I am not sure since it is a word I have not heard before, and if one has not heard a word before one is unsure as to what it means." Ruby said.
"I believe from the way the word was used it means to grow and change. Similar to how you young ones will someday grow into adults and will have learned from your parents and those who are older then yourselves. You end up once you are grown ups knowing more then your parents did. Your children learn from you and others and end up knowing more then you did by the time they are grown up. Though I may be wrong." Mr. Thicknose said.
"Like my figuring out log running myself?" Ducky asked.
"Something like that I think, and then your kids learn more, their learn more things still, and so on." Mr. Thicknose said.
-
"Who next to ask the second question? any hands?" Elm called out to the 80 so people.
---
"Also learning from big mistakes that the other generations made and growing from that" Startor added to what Mr Thicknose said.
"Are you talking about the Great Flooding I keep hearing?" Startor nods to Littlefoot's question.
"I wonder who going to ask the next question?" Evan looked at the stands
-
"I guess we'll have to wait and till the waiting is over to see." Ruby said, looking around a bit to see who would ask the next question.
-
(where are the others with their human personal charcaters????)
"I wonder which of the humans sitting over there going to ask the next question" Littlefoot scared the stands to see if anyone put their hand up to ask the next question.
-
Mitch raised his hand. "Yes you sir,' said the male rainbowface. "How did you leave earth when you decided to,' mitch asked.
-
"I could answer that even they can't hear us" Startor chuckled
-
"Well we made our own space ships so we could come and go as we please,' the male rainbowface replied. "Duh,' said someone close to mitch.
-
(OOC: I have some ideas for some other questions some humans can ask. Not sure if any would fit. 1 could be "did you freeze any other location with dinosaurs like you did here." Another could be, "Why specifically did you freeze these dinosaurs and not another location with dinosaurs?" ))
"Hmm, "Mr. Thicknose said to himself, "I wonder if that is the explanation of what I saw that night." He was heading to the meeting place since a flyer had told him of an important meeting they were going to hold but thought he may be late, and as he said before he had told the flyer how he'd vote in case he was late once the flyer gave him the reason for the meeting. Once he was somewhat close he recalled seeing in the distance a brief shaft of light then a sky stone falling upward, but had not told anyone of what he had seen since he wasn't sure if he believed seen it himself.
-
((OOC: that's a good idea Kor...If you don't mind I would like to use one of those...just so my human character has something to say))
Ricktor was enjoying this demonstration he'd forgotten to ask any questions he then raised his hand and said "Why specifically did you freeze these dinosaurs?" It was a simple question, but he knew that sometimes the simplest answers could shed light on others questions as well.
Grandpa longneck looked impressed that so many humans were egear to see them. He simply waited for the next answer or question to come.
-
"Well we had more personal contact with these dones than any other ones,' replied the male rainbow face.
---------
Frank watched and thought "Well that's the third question so we might be able to meet them for ourselves soon.'
-
Elm walk down to the Rainbow Faces then turn around "Men and women thank you for your questions, if you got any more please wait till later, they been frozen for a very long time and need time adjusting to the new reality around them, so that comes to the ending of this meeting, it time we all get back to work. Thank you as well for this morning. Dismissed" Elm called out through the mic and everyone starts to leave.
"Can you two follow me please. There some special guests that wish to see you again, I believe you had met them before" Elm starts walking to the door of the screening.
"You haven't..." the female Rainbow Face looked annoyed.
"Please come this way" Elm repeated in a kind tone.
"I can't believe it, your worse then him" she points to the Male Rainbow Face
And it good to see you again sis... Elm said in his mind shaking his head a little then open the door walking through it "Well they been here for the whole meeting and wish to see you now directly, no point advoiding this"
She sighs then look at the male Rainbow Face "lets go" they both walk up to the door and go through it to see Littlefoot, Cera, Petrie, Ducky and Spike which they met before and breifly the adult Littlefoot's Grandpa, but never seen Mr Thicknose, Chomper or Ruby then seeing two humans with baby dinosaurs then they see Frank which made the Female Rainbow Face look really ticked off. "wh-wha-what is this!? his one of those humans and have a Rainbow Face tail!? Explain!" she demanded looking right at Frank sharply.
-
"Well back in oh 83 or 84 I did several experiemnts with a DNA sample my father had been given,' said frank. "I was also hoping one of you would be able to tell me what this means,' frank said showing both of them the tatoo on his right shoulder.
"Where did you get this,' the male rainbow face asked. "I got it from some guy I met in england back in 44,' said frank. The male rainbow face wispered to the female rainbowface "I think we've found the chosen one.'
-
Elm coughs "I have good hearing and whispering about such things here is a no no" Elm said with arms crossed "I know about the chosen one because at the time I was going by another name and I was the one that place the tatto on you Frank. Don't my face look simliar?" Elm said looking at Frank "And why you not aged by much?"
"what do you mean by that?" Startor asked
"Frank was biological changed to look, bleed and feel human from a baby in his genes the key genes of the Rainbow Face are there and the accient awoken his DNA a little earily then expected. Frank is my son" Elm said to them
"You can't be serious!?" the female knew what it meant
"his mother is human yes and I went by another name back then" Elm explained then look to Frank "Look at I and look at yourself don't you think it be strange if I kept to that name, a over 140 year old human not looking any older then 50 year old? I think that would turn heads. So to keep you safe from Big Boss I had no choice in the matter." Elm said and now Frank understood why Elm had been so protective and seem to pop around through out his life in the 70s onwards.
(I hope I got this right about te 44' and 83/84 bit)
-
"I remember you, I do, I do." Ducky said, who had briefly seen the rainbowfaces before she was kidnapped, "You were talking about beyond the mysterious beyond."
Spike walked closer to the rainbow faces smiling. "Spike remembers you too and is happy to see you, he is, his." Ducky said. Spike nodded. He did remember them and they had helped them in their rescue of Ducky by helping them to get to the top of the mountain they were at the bottom of.
"Hello there." Ruby said waving to the rainbowfaces.
"Yes," Mr. Thicknose said, remembering Ducky having asked him at one point where beyond the mysterious beyond was and he doing his best to explain what he thought they meant after he asked her where she had heard the term , "It does seem few are open to learning and to new discoveries. Going somewhere just to see what is there and trying to find out the why behind how things are." He said.
"Petrie wonder what you mean by enormous black, enormous black what, enormous black sharptooth, even bigger then Chomper's Parents or Red Claw, like the flying one that me uncle Pterano told me of that swooped down and gobbled up a herd of Sharpteeth in one gulp?" Petrie said, shivering in fear at such a mental image that he now saw, looking around to be sure it didn't suddenly pop up.
"Pterano and his crazy stories." Cera said, making what she thought of such crazy and wild stories in her voice. "They talk in riddles remember, they likely mean some large rock or mountain like Mr. Thicknose suggested earlier, not some make believe thing from one of your uncle's wild stories." Cera said.
"That is just one possibility, there are many others." Mr. Thicknose said.
"Hi, nice to meet you. Do you really talk in riddles?" Chomper asked smiling and waiving at the 2 rainbow faces. "Doesn't that make it hard to understand each other if you talk in riddles?" He asked.
"A human and a rainbowface having a child together? I was unaware that 2 different kinds could have a child together. " Mr. Thicknose said. He had never heard of such a thing and assumed it was not possible, but perhaps it was.
"Maybe they used a device, like one that put us to cold sleep." Chomper said, remembering Startor using the word device.
"A human mother and Rainbowface father? That does seem rather different. Though different is always different or else it would be the same." Ruby said.
-
(Yeah right date)
"When I first got my tail I beleived I was something more than human guess I was right,' said frank. "I just have one question dad did mom know,' frank asked
-
"If not she'll be mighty surprised the next time she sees you." Cera said to Frank.
"and you will have splainin to do." Petrie said.
-
"she died in45 just a few months after I got home from europe,' said frank lowering his head.
-
"Indeed, plus she wasn't aware of it. She believed I was human till she passed away. Plus she would never live as long as Rainbow Faces does. Human life span is only 1/3 of a Rainbow Face life span." Elm said looking to Frank
"Wow this is really amazing" Littlefoot looked at them
the female looked to the kids "it good to see you all again as well but I have to admit you children have grown." then look to chomper "Not if you see beyond what you see with your eyes"
Startor smiled "Imagation, the power of creation"
Evan asked a question "are the little dinosaurs fast learners?" he asked the male one when Ian had walked up to the Male Rainbow Face and lickd his leg happily looking up at him.
-
Ducky got a sad look on her face, "That is sad, it is it is."
Ducky then listened to the adults talking. "My momma said I said my first word as she was putting me back into the nest, after I had run off before fully hatching, she did." Ducky said.
"And some of take longer to learn certain things." Mr. Thicknose said, sighing a bit as he thought certain incidents around the time groundsparkles first fell on the Great Valley and froze all their green food.
Cera walked over a bit closer to the young threehorn. "hello." She said in a friendly voice, "I have a younger sister not much older then you." She said still in a friendly voice.
Chomper looked a bit confused, "You mean what I smell with my sniffer then what I see?" He asked.
"I think she means using your imagination and other things to figure things out yourself or with your friends helping." Mr. Thicknose said.
-
Melissa squicked happily at cera and licked her leg. "Yes the young longneck is espicially a fast learner,' said the male rainbow face looking at littlefoot.
-
Cera nuzzled Melissa the young threehorn. Saying softly to her, "Who's a little cutie?"
--
Ducky nodded, "He is the amazing longneck boy, he is." Ducky said. Then started to sing, "He is the amazing long neck boy. He lead us all to the Great Valley. He is our friend now.
Chomper smiled and joined in, "His big heart saved us all."
Spike started to skat sing in tune.
Petrie then started to sing, "Who would have thought a task so big, could be done by one so young."
Ruby joined in also, "but we now know he's strong and brave. We know that he has it all."
Then all of the ones who could speak, except for Spike who continued to scat sing in tune to the others joined in as a chourus, "So greet the amazing longneck boy. And tell his story near and far. Because of how happy we are. He is our shining friend.
The amazing longneck boy. All greet the amazing longneck boy."
(OOC: Hope the song isn't to silly or spoils the rp scene. The song isn't to good I know. )
-
"So petrie your uncle is a big story teller yes,' frank asked. "I have a few stories myself,' frank said. "Do you want to hear a few,' frank asked.
-
Gafndpa LOngneck smiled as he looked upon the two rainbow faces and said "It's nice to see you two again. If you don't mind my asking...when will you need to save us?"
((OOC: If this is wrong just let me know))
-
Petrie nodded, "Me uncle use to tell me stories when me only a hatchling." He said. Then he nodded to the rest of what Frank said, "Me like hearing stories." He said, "Even scary ones, as long as me in safe place and me friends, or family are near." Petrie said looking at some of the ones present.
-
Elm nods "We noticed it when we first met Littlefoot after he fell into the Underground Greenhouse" Elm spoke looking over Littlefoot
"Wow guys you are the greatest" Littlefoot smiled
The Female looked at Elm then at the others "what you call a Flying Rock, one was bigger then your valley it hit and all the power we had, we only could save 300 miles of land so we saved the area around your Great Valley." she said to them. "We was only suppose to keep you asleep till everything cleared and the world healed itself then wake you up, but the device malufuctioned and this happened"
"I would offer a tour of the complex but almost all rooms are no where close to your heights" Elm looked at the two adults "but I am sure a tour of the underground valley as the kids call it be fine" Elm smiled walking over to the controls and push a set of keys all the sudden the ground they all on jointed a bit then start moving down.
"Wow it a bigger Lift!" Littlefoot looked amazed as he stare up as they got feather down.
-
"Maybe I'll tell you some of my stories later,' said frank looking at petrie.
-
"you can when we get to the Greenhouse, it split into two areas, area one is where Littlefoot landed in where we have a small deepish pond with plants and flowers with some trees, the other area is a big made lake with heavily amount of trees in some parts, other sections are medoews with short grass with openiness for anyone to move around freely in." Elm explained as the lift continues to lower. "But in the Greenhouse section that with mostly small plants, don't walk through the areas that seem to be in straight rows, that where we grow our food. this is only 1 of 3 areas in this complex alone that grow plants" Elm told them some of the rules about this place they about to enter.
Startor looked to the kids "Your going to like what we manage to do underground" Elm reactive his device turning back into the human form as she spoke.
-
Cera looked at Melissa, "Do you want to come too? Come on let's go." She asked in a friendly voice.
"Grow your own food? I guess you would need that since it is hard to remain hidden and walk into the Great Valley to get some green food." Mr. Thicknose said. Then nodded to the mention of the size of him and Grandpa Longneck, "Yes, being large does have certain advantages and disadvantages, just like being small." He said.
Petrie nodded to Frank, "Me like that. Maybe we share stories, all us here, sometime." He said. He liked listening to stories and liked the idea of them sharing stories with their new friends and them sharing stories with each other.
"I was right, you do have a device that makes you look human." Chomper said, happy that he had figured out something. He remembers saying, during his talk with Startor last night, that maybe since the rainbowfaces had a device to put the Great Valley into cold sleep maybe they had one to make themselves look human.
"A Lake & a pond, those must be fun to swim in, for those who know how to swim." Ducky said.
Spike was wondering what all those plants tasted like and if they had any he had not tasted or eaten yet.
Mr. Thicknose looked first at Elm then at the kids and Grandpa Longneck. "This, I"m sure, will prove to be interesting. Though if you wish to give a separate tour to the young ones since they can fit in more rooms then we can, likely the same ones you can. It would be ok with me, though I am unable to speak for Mr. Longneck." Mr. Thicknose said smiling.
Ducky looked at Elm change back to his human appearance and clasp her hands together smiling. "Neat trick, can you show us how to do that too? I think that would be fun, I do, I do." She said.
-
Sam hunks sat at his desk and went through new reports. a DIG attedent came up to him "Sir the file on frank anderson sir,' said the attendant. "Good I'll take this to big boss,' hunks said as he got up from his desk and went to big boss's office.
------------
"I am also wanting to hear some of your stories,' the male rainbowface said to frank.
-
OCC: ( Hey, I'm back now. To all who helped me, I thank you. I hope I wasn't too much trouble! :) )
-
melissa squicked happily at cera and started to follow her. Frank chuckled looked at grandpa longneck and said "It can be rough being a parent you know.'
-
The ceiling opens up and part of the floor below does to fit the lift into place as it comes out into the Greenhouse then finally touch down on the ground with a soft jolt "Here we are" Elm said and they could see the Greenhouse section of the B7 Valley as it was nicknamed.
"It just as amazing as before" Littlefoot smiled looking around
The Female Rainbow took a look around "Well this is quite amazing, you are able to create heat and light below and the right balance to grow all sorts of plants, trees and flowers. Amazing" she step off the lift taking a look around.
-
Cera looked around once the lift stopped, "You did this yourselves?" She said, then she turned to Melissa, "Are you hungry?" She asked Melissa.
Chomper looked around, "Wow, neat. It's like the secret caverns, but that has no green food in it like this." He said.
Ducky looked around, "It looks very nice, it does. I never knew one could have an underground valley." She said.
Mr. Thicknose looked around, "Quite impressive. It must have taken quite a bit of work to make this, and to also look after it." He said.
Petrie looked around from Mr. Thicknose's back where he was. "It bright. Me glad it no dark. Bright cave not scary. Look fun." Petrie said.
Spike was sniffing around. He could smell lots of green food that all smelled tasty, including some smells he had not smelled yet.
-
Evan put Ian down.
"Go make yourself some friends now boy, and find something to eat. Daddy have to talk with the grown ups for a while okay?"
Ian sqiucked happily, he understood.
He walked away to a nearby bush, taking a mouthfull of leafs in his mouth, and looked around for playmates.
-
Melissa squicked happily at cera and followed her to get some food. frank took a seat next to grandpa longneck. "So who wants to hear one of my stories,' frank asked.
-
"I'd sure like to listen." Evan said and sat down on a nearby rock.
"Oh!" he put his hand down one of his pockets, and got up a shimering object.
"New glasses! Exelent!" he said with joy and put them on.
-
"Most of it was grown using a little something we put together to increase the growth of plants and using the solar lamps we have in place and lighting it was perfect to make plants grow, it takes up about 17% of overall power in the Complex to keep this place lit day and night." Elm said walking over to a tree and picking some apples "Who would like to try a apple?"
"I will!" Littlefoot beamed and Elm rolls one over to him and he starts eating it "Who else like to try one?" Elm asked looking around.
Female Rainbow Face walk with the male one to the pond "These humans seem to have their up and downs, but they have the heart to care for the dinosaurs to keep out of their way, from what Elm told me, Littlefoot was the one that discover this place from that" she points to a vent in the ceiling. "But also the sharptooth called Chomper, he discovered Startor from what she told me and kept it quiet with Chomper, so it seems they have no meaning to harm the dinosaurs of the Great Valley"
Startor remembered what she had made in her room at the cooker. "Oh Chomper I got something for you, it not meat, but I think you will like it." she pulled it out of her bag wrapped in foil she took it off showing a apple encased in toffee "This is a Toffee Apple. I cooked some toffee and poured it over this apple it makes it taste just as sweet as choclate and soul as a apple" she said handing it to Chomper. "Fruit has many tastes and many that sometimes only eat meat could also eat fruit because it don't have what leafs has inside it even it grows from the tree like leaves" she explained to her little friend.
-
"Well here's one of my many stories it was back in 1944 my wingmen played a prank on me they sewed me to my bed while I was sleeping and then they started the air raid siren,' frank said laughing. "Oh but I got back at them a few days later when I added hot chili sauce to their food,' frank said chuckling. "Pranks are a must for soilders in combat they help you cope with the reailty,' frank said.
-
Spike walked over to a bush, sniffing it and took a bite of a few leaves. Liking the taste he started to eat some more leaves.
Ducky climbed off of Spike. She grabbed one of the smaller leaves and started to eat it, smiling as she saw Ian. "What a cute little longneck, yes he is." Ducky said.
Petrie flew off of Mr. Thicknose and went to one of the trees to land and see what his friends were up to.
Cera stopped under the tree that Petrie was in. She looked up then called out to Petrie. "Hey Petrie, how about getting one of those tree sweets down here." She said.
"Sure, me can." Petrie said. He grabbed one of the apples and started pulling it. It popped off of the stem and Petrie fell holding the apple, not thinking how large the apple was compared to his height. He fell, extending his wings to slow his fall, landing on Cera's head. The apple fell onto Cera's horn.
"Hey," Cera said. "I didn't ask you to drop it onto my horn." She said. She crossed her eyes and looked at the apple. She thought of shaking her head to get it off but she then got a better idea.
"Me sorry, me not think it so heavy." Petrie said, getting off of her head.
Cera then pressed the apple against the tree and continued to press adding more pressure. Soon the apple split into 2 pieces with one piece being partly split into a third. Cera pushed one of the pieces towards Melissa. "Here, I think you may like this." She said.
Petrie grabbed one almost loose section of the other piece and tore off a small piece for himself and then ate it. "mmm, sweet." He said smiling.
Chomper smiled, "Really, thanks. I've never had a toffee apple." He said accepting the apple, "Do you want some?" He asked Startor.
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "I can see how doing pranks on one another would relieve some of the stresses and other things, as well as having a bit of fun as well." He said.
-
"Yet some pranks could go too far and cause all sorts of troubles. Pranks are only funny for a certian point afterwards it gets out of control and many gets hurt not only by injuries but by their feelings as well." Elm points out to them as he walked up to them.
"I already eaten for this morning, but thank you" Startor replied kindly to Chomper.
---
Big Boss was back in the Recon unit with the people that work there "How does it look at the Landmass."
"No real activatiy but there seem to be a large pressence of boats around the land mass almost all around it, look like they not taking any more chances with us" the human replied
"Very well, we will sit back and wait for now" Big Boss spoke back calmly looking at his own screens I believe they trying to protect the dinosaurs from harm, it seems both of our objectives are the same till I changed it... but how far will they go to stop me? he thought looking to the screen carefully
-
"Yeah but as I said in wartime pranks are a must when you're in combat,' said frank. "So who want to hear the story of when my squad gained their nickname,' frank asked.
-
"I would be interested, would anyone else?" Mr. Thicknose asked looking around at the others present."
"Ok." Chomper said before he bit into the Toffee apple. After he bit into his his face lit and and he smiled, "It tastes great, very sweet, thanks." He said. "You humans make many tastey things." He said.
-
"See, all that whining the last few months of me trying to get you to try some fruit and your enjoying a apple coated in toffee" Startor said with a smile "Like I said apples are not like leaves, they grow from trees yes but they grow different to leaves" Startor watched him enjoying his toffee apple.
"YOu say it a must Frank but when your at a base and you see a prank that goes horrible wrong and kills someone then you know that pranks can go out of hand and seriously hurt someone and very very wrong to do no matter what or where you are... I seen it happen at a airbase during World War 2... after seeing that young man..."Elm paused seeing the blaze the man screaming to death then open his eyes "I won't continue because it will be too disturbing to say what happened to him..." Elm turn to the waterfall flowing out of a cave opening in the wall.
-
(OOC: Sorry guys. I'm dropping out of this RP. I can't get on enough. If there is a sequel, I'm out too. I have about 30 minutes on a day at max.)
-
"Yeah I heard about that,' frank said. "That's the reality of war,' frank added silently to himself. "so on with the story it was may of 1944 my squad had already gained a repution of being one of the best allied fighter squadrons, well we were escourting bomber en-route to a rail yard on the 24th when eight green german fighters were spotted, we all knew who they were the legendary 365th fighter group more commonly know as the grim reapers,' frank said. "Although out numbered we took them on and as if by some miracle we came all came out alive in 1946 after we took out a old factory being used by soliders who refused the surrender of germany we since then have been know as the demons of Vlazgriz,' said frank. "This is the legend when history witnesses a great change vlazgriz reveals it self first as a dark demon as one it uses it's power to rain death and destruction apoun the land however after a peroid of slumber vlazgriz returns this time as a great hero,' frank said.
-
Chomper nods, "I thought that the fruit and chocolate would taste like leaves. Though some fruit I don't like, like sweet bubbles. But I do like chocolate and this toffee apple." He said before taking another bite.
-
Elm closed the panel up then turn to Frank "I think we heard enough of bad points of human history, that all war is... bad, humans at that point and some still are trying to gain power over other humans... the power of greed and control... it happens in one time period it happens in another..." Elm taking into account about the Dinosaurs in some places power of control of over a herd he seen in the past was still around with humans having a leading command. But the NEA was changing things making all life a balance that part of the world and don't want to destroy that balance any more.
---
"It always great to try new things, that way you get to know if you dislike it or like it" Littlefoot said coming over to Chomper.
-
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "How about some good points of human history to balance what we heard of the bad. Or some of rainbowface history." Mr. Thicknose said curious about both.
---
Cera looks at Melissa, "Try the tree sweet you'll like it." She says meaning the piece of apple she had pushed towards her before starting eating her piece of the apple.
Petrie nodded finishing his piece, "It tastey, me never taste this tree sweet before but me like it." He said.
Chomper nodded, "It is true.
Ducky waved to Ian as she finished her leaf, "Hello." She said, leaning against one of Spike's legs who was continuing to eat.
-
Elm was about to speak when he gets a call on his radio and takes it out "Yes? This is Elm"
"Sir that large black Triceratops back at the vent again, 12th time already" the person spoke
"Alright show me the live feed down here" Elm activate the screen on the wall beside him being quite big then it showed the video feed of Mr Threehorn looking down the vent hole with one eye then moving around it
Startor looked getting up "Oh Great Mr Threehorn..." Startor muttered seeing the screen. "That the last dinosaur on Earth that should know about humans, his too direct and very sure of himself believing his always current and last but all hate things changing" Startor said with arms crossed.
"Wow how do you know so much about... oh yeah your the one that allowed to move around outside your Complex home, so you must of been around some of the time when Cera's dad was speaking" Littlefoot was at first not sure how she knew then remembered she the only one out of the humans that been in the Great Valley moving around very quickly and berely noticed.
-
"Something must be down there, I keep hearing voices" Mr Threehorn said to himself as he try to listen in from the vent to make sure he wasn't mistaken.
---
Littlefoot looked at the screen "Hey Cera your dad by that hole I fell in, it that hole in the ceiling over the water" Littlefoot said to Cera.
-
"He's always up to something." Cera said, annoyed.
-
"I believe his going to discover the complex soon... his been at locations where Startor gets back into the Complex a lot lately and today alone his been visiting that spot over 12 times." Elm said rubbing his head a little "No Offience Cera but from what we learnt about your father his the last dinosaur we would like to show us selfs to"
-
Grandpa longneck sighed and said "I have to agree here. Mr.Threehorn isn't the most understanding of things that change." He then looked over at Prof. Elm and asked "What do you think will happen if he does find your underground valley?"
Longtail who was now sitting on a nearby rock said "I don't know...but it won't be good...I can tell that much already."
-
"We could always tell him part of the truth without lieing. Say we were exploring some caves, which we are. We don't have to tell him that humans were with us or that it's their cave they were showing us around."
"That may work. It is the truth, but not all the truth." Ducky said.
"Me like Cera's idea. It no lie." Petrie said nodding.
"Yes, it would be most unfortunate if he were to find out about this valley and the humans. I remember how he reacted to knowing there were tiny longnecks in the Great Valley, then the yellowbellies. I have found my life is far quieter and more orderly if I try my best to find out what part of the Great Valley Threehorn is in and make sure, if I can, to be in another part of the Great Valley." Mr. Thicknose said. "I wonder how the tiny longnecks are doing. I've not been in the part of the valley where they live in a while. I must remember to visit them soon. And the yellowbellies, fun and interesting to talk to. After making sure Threeehorn wasn't around so I could have a quiet conversation with them."
-
"now that's an idea! Way to use your head the right way Cera!" cried Longtail as he listened to her idea. He jumped up and walked over and asked "What do you think Grandpa Longneck?"
The elderly Longneck smiled and replied "that is a wonderful idea, but how do we get him down here? He's far too big to fit through the hole up there."
-
"Well there are those big doors you came through earlier,' frank said.
-
"I am sure of it. That was Thicknose" Mr Threehorn heard some voices "That was also that Longtail flyer kid which means Cera down there" Mr Threehorn was looking around for a way down there "I know some of you kids are down there! I hear you too Thicknose!" he bellowed down the hole. "And what is this Human I keep hearing! Better tell me something before I force my way to where-ever you are!"
---
Elm just blinked "How the heck did he hear all that?" Elm turn to the others then realised "Cave... enclosed area... small long hole to the surface... damn it I forgot about the sound conducting part" Elm said looking to the others.
"Yeah there is a lot of talk backing going on when we speak" Littlefoot replied feeling he should of picked up on that as well.
The Female Rainbow Face came up to them "Well I would suggest leading him down here and talk it over, he not going to go away now"
Elm turn to Startor "the spiral ramp, it large enough for him to walk down. Open it up Startor"
"Alright sir" she walks over to a rock pushing it away showed a hidden leaver then she pulled it all the way down. Suddenly a loud noise could be heard as the wall opens up to a large slopy rocky path behind that wall going to the left but going up.
---
Mr THreehorn felt the ground shaking a little then before his eyes part of the rocky floor not to far from him shifts downwards in a angle to form a slope he walked up to it and looked at the large slope "How... I better get to the bottom of it" Mr Threehorn just walked down the slope ignoring the risks that he could be in and the slope behind raise back up to form part of the land like there was nothing there.
---
"This is a emergency exit to the Valley" Startor points to the slope behind her hearing the foot steps "Here he come" Startor gets back with the other humans and stood just behind Grandpa Longneck and Mr Thicknose for some protection if Mr Threehorn has any other ideas.
-
"ah why am I hiding like a sissy,' frank asked himself before stepping out from behind Mr thicknose and grandpa longneck.
-
Grandpa Longneck gave his best smile and said "Hello old friend, I know you must have many questions. I can assure you Thicknose and I can answer all of them if you just give us a chance. Even the young ones will help in explaining what's going on, isn't that right?"
Longtail nodded his head and replied "Y-yes of course we'll help!"
-
Cera picked up the part of the apple she's not eaten yet and walked over to where Grandpa Longneck and Mr. Thicknose were so her father would, hopefully, not think she was being held captive or anything by the humans. She sat down between them, and went back to finishing her apple.
Chomper continued to eat his toffee apple thinking that with the shouting going to start soon he would need a more quiet place. He started looking for a good place to go.
Petrie finished his piece of apple and flew up to the tallest tree in the area, so he would not be to close so when Mr. Threehorn would start shouting.
Ducky put the part of the leaf she had not eaten and climbed up on Spike. Spike, knowing how loud Mr. Threehorn could get, waited till Ducky was on him and walked away to what he thought would be a quieter place to rest, eat and maybe drink some water.
Mr. Thicknose shook his head. "Here we go." He said. "The piece and quiet was nice while it lasted. Don't be surprised if he wants to do to you what he wanted to do to the tiny longnecks." Mr. Thicknose said.
-
Mr Threehorn carried on walking seeing the light then finally coming out of the twisting tunnel then he saw a underground valley looking around it not taking much notice of the others he just couldn't believe it then he locked eyes on Elm "YOU! Why am I not surprised to find amazing place with a odd creation like you again! ELM!"
"huh? What?" Littlefoot looked lost and so many did as well.
"I knew you promised that I would see something amazing if I kept my mouth shut about seeing you and about you hiding being a Rainbow Face but your outdone it. I almost forgot about you and those crazy human things" Mr Threehorn looked at everyone looking very confused "What the matter with all of you!?" he snapped at them Elm just chuckling to himself just standing by a rock
-
Mr. Thicknose was to old to be surprised by much anymore. He had been mildly surprised at seeing tiny longnecks. He just looked at Threehorn. "It would seem that you got all the shouting and wanting to stomp the humans done with earlier." Mr. Thicknose said in a calm voice.
Chomper was to surprised to say anything and held his partially finished toffee apple in one of his hands and his mouth hanging open with his sharpteeth visible and a look of surprise on his face. He was surprised that Cera's dad didn't immediately start shouting like he enjoyed doing. Cera decided to stay quiet to see what was going on and would go on before she said anything.
"He has not gone boom, but he will soon I am sure." Ducky said, being go far to hear anything of what was being said. Spike nodded then made some sounds that were incomprehensive to others. Ducky nodded, "Some water would be nice." She said agreeing with Spike who set off walking towards one of the bodies of water, making sure he was farther away from Threehorn, which he disliked all the shouting that he liked doing.
Petrie stood on the treebranch high up. It didn't sound to him like Mr. Threehorn was angry, but he assumed he would soon go boom like booming mountain. "Me go before he go boom like smoking mountain." He said to himself, being to high up and away to hear much of what Threehorn was saying. Looking around he saw where Spike was heading, "Me go where Spike & Ducky go, they no go boom." He said and set off flying over to where they were heading.
-
"What was that loud flyer I saw the other night!? It left and came and woke me up! I was not impressed at all! I know you crazy Rainbow Faces and humans use things but that thing was louder then anything!" Mr Threehorn wanting to know what it was straight away.
Elm turn to Frank "That would be Frank's Plane" Elm said
"His loud flyer?" he moves towards Frank, his snout only inches from Frank "If you fly one of those Loud Flyers again over my nest at night I will make you sorry! Understood?" Mr Threehorn said in demand "I have kids and all I need is their sleep disturbed by you crazy human Loud Flyers!"
Littefoot looked very confused "I don't get it... is it me or does Mr Threehorn knew about the human thingys?"
Elm nods "Indeed he does, I told him, it was the only way to not be crushsed by a big foot like his at the time" Elm replied calmly
Female Rainbow Face whispers to the Male "I am surprised he didn't blow on them"
-
Grandpa Longneck much like Mr Thicknose had seen a lot of things in his life and this...was quite a shock for him. He took a step forward and asked "So Mr.Threehorn, you've met the humans before, then why haven't you told anyone yet?"
Longtail ever the curious flyer decided to stay standing on Grandpa longnecks back...just in case Cera's dad went boom. "I'll at least be safe up here." he said to himself
-
Frank looked at mr threehorn and said "Yes I understand perfectly.' "I had kids myself once.'
-
Chomper got over his surprise and went back to finishing his toffee apple.
Spike reached the water and as he got a drink Ducky jumped off of his back and dove into the water, landing to Spike's side with little splash, the little that did didn't reach where he was. She then came up and swam around a bit going back towards Spike and rolled over so she was floating on her back.
"Come on in Spike, the water is cool." She said.
Spike walked in a bit once he got his drink and relaxed in the water. The water reaching only up to the middle of his sides.
-
"If I didn't know any better the way you said that your older then you look" suddenly he saw a Rainbow Face tail on Frank "Your a Rainbow Face" Mr Threehorn said to him.
"Yes my son" Elm repled calmly.
-
Ian ran over to Evan, feeling scared about Mr.Treehorn.
Evan took him up.
"It's okay Ian, no one here's gonna hurt you." Evan said and rubbed his belly gently. He probably sounds worse than he bites... I've seen this before, haven't I? Evan thought for himself about Mr.Treehorn, smiling.
-
"Do you have a problem with it,' frank asked mr threehorn. "I have gotton a lot of bull and looks from other humas ever since I got ths tail in 1984,' frank shouted at threehorn.
-
"Got the tail, you make it sound like someone handed it to you." Chomper said.
"I can imagine some of your friends were rather surprised when they saw you with a tail you did not have before." Mr. Thicknose said.
"Yea, the stupider ones likely screamed or something and ran away." Cera said.
---
"Come in Petrie, the water isn't cold, or very deep here." Ducky said, floating on her back near the shore and looking at him.
Spike nodded, enjoying the coolness of the water.
"Me no swimmer, me flyer. Me stay here." Petrie said from the shore near the water. He edged carefully near the water to get a drink, but making sure he didn't fall or slip in.
-
"Yeah one or two ran away and screamed,' chuckled frank. "It was mostly people that I didn't know that criticized me,' frank said with a sad look on his face.

Longtail decided that all this talking was getting boring so he flew over to where Ducky and Petrie. He landed next to Petrie and said "Getting a drink? That sounds like a good idea."
Grandpa longneck sighed and commented by saying to Frank "Others can be curel somethimes, but having faith in yourself is always a good thing to have no matter what the issue."
-
"They are just stupid. Best to stay away from those stupid types." Cera said.
Mr. Thicknose nodded to what Grandpa Longneck said, "Very unfortunate, but true, that there are cruel people, and those who do not know any better." He said.
Petrie nodded, "Me thirsty. Water good you want?" Petrie asked Longtail after he had finished his drink.
-
Longtail smiled and nodded as he replied to Petrie "Yeah, thanks." Longtail then sat down and started drinking his fill.
Grandpa Longneck nodded to Mr.Thicknose and said "Those kinds are hard to reason with. But it is best to stay away from them. That is the best idea I can give for such conflicts."
-
"Yeah I know but I also served as diplomat for my country so it was kinda hard to avoid those types,' frank said.
-
Mr Threehorn remembered Elm talking about something about a son before that after reaching the next birthday that the full appearance of what Elm was would show on Frank "This sound strange but when your next hatchday?"
Elm remembered last year what he said to Mr Threehorn "Birthday is the term we used but hatchday/birthday they both the same"
Littlefoot looked over to Cera "Yeah I guess it is kind of stupid, since look at us we all different type of dinosaurs and different shapes, we never act like that nor do the adults, guess some humans don't like differences that much" Littlefoot said feeling sorry for Frank what been through
-
Cera nods, "Yea, sounds like many humans can be stupid. Why treat someone different just because they look different." She said. Then she looked at Frank, "At least we won't treat you any different wither you have scales or not, or fuzzy stuff on your head. " Cera said.
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "That is true. Those who live in the Great Valley, and certain other places, are use to seeing people who are different. " he said.
-
"Next thursday I'll be in human years 92,' frank said. He truned to littlefoot "It hasn't been just me many other humans have gone through the same treatment I have,' frank said.
-
"Is it due to their wanting to change how they look?" Mr. Thicknose asked.
------
Ducky splashed Spike who used his tail to splash her in return.
-
"No it was cause of how they look,' frank said.
---------
Melissa squicked and walked up to mr threehorn.
-
Mr Threehorn look down "well hello there little one" Mr Threehorn lower himself down a little to get a better look at her "Isn't she a cute one." then the turn his eyes on Frank "Well your in for a surprise by that Thursday whenever that is"
"Frank you that talk you have it not the only thing you will have by your birthday." Elm said to him
Female Rainbow Face was listening to them and figured it out "His human/dinosaur but the dinosaur form is starting to show more and more as he comes to age, Age 92 in human years is age 23 in Rainbow Face years. It refered to our kind as the day of becoming a adult. We age slowler then others. I am only 23 my self and his 19 so you can tell why he talked alot" Female Rainbow Face said about the aging of Rainbow Faces and that her friend was only classed as close to becoming a adult.
"So you look like a adult but by this age thing you go by your just at the age of a adult?" Littlefoot looked confused.
"I am 40 in Rainbow Face age that about midway age for us, which makes me around 160 years old to Earth years, we live close to 100 Rainbow Face years which is close to 400 of your earth years." Elm explained to them. "But we act like adults around the age of 2 to 4 rainbow Face years about 20 to 40 years even though we not really that old for us" Elm finished explaining about it
"You Rainbow Faces are very very strange" Mr Threehorn muttered
-
Grandpa longneck chuckled and said "They have a gift, that is nothing to call strange Mr.Threehorn. I admit it is a bit of a shock that the Rainbow faces don't age as quickly as we do, but it is still something special that they can hold on to."
After finishing his drink, Longtail decided to get in on the fun DUcky and spike were having and slipped into the water head first. As he did, he wondered who he'd splash first...Ducky seemed to be the eaiser target, but with Spike facing her, it would be harder.
'oh well...more of a challenge for me!' thought Longtail
-
"Do we age faster also, or is it just humans that do, and if all of us do is it only rainbowfaces that live longer, or something they eat wherever they are from." Mr. Thicknose said, curious about those and other things, "and why do types some live longer then others anyway. Also are there any more people who have 1 rainbow parent but not 2. I was unaware that 2 different kinds could have children together."
"Yea, are there any more like you around? That would be cool." Chomper said nodding.
-
"Not that I am aware of" Elm replied.
"A land Turtle that never touch water can easily be around the size Cera is at full size for them and live a life of over 200 years, no one can tell why but they just can" Startor said as a explain to length of life span.
"Still seem strange that some live longer then others" Mr Threehorn still muttered.
-
"What happened to the rainbowface population was there a civil war of something, frank asked.
-
"I don't know, it been 65 million years since there was contact, With the eqiutment we only have in technology stardards there no way really to send a messenge to the homeworld." Elm explained to Frank "So we don't know if they alive or not, there no real way to know"
-
"I guess we have to wait for technology to catch up,' frank said.
-
Mr Threehorn thought about this place "I don't know what the half of what your saying but you better not cause any trouble, last time it was them that caused Ducky to get taken by the flyers for some stupid stone that was to believe to be magically all because they said it" Mr Threehorn turn to the two Rainbow Faces.
"We said it may contain magical powers or other wonders, we didn't say it did, not our fault you jumped to conclusions without listening" Female Rainbow Face said back with a cocky reply
"WHAT!? how dare you say such things! Look that was the..." Mr Threehorn trails off then said calmly "I learned from Tria that sometimes it better to listen a bit more about things before coming up with a choice, but I guess I do still tend to jump to conclusions without thinking. Your right we all didn't really listen well at the time" Mr Threehorn hated it but he had to admit that she was right.
"Well you've changed alot since we last met, I gather the children been rubbing on you alot of their wondering views of the world and beyond" she said with a smile
"I gather so" Mr Threehorn turn to Littlefoot and the others.
"Mr Threehorn you've even accepted Chomper to live in the Great Valley after that protested of him being what he is, but look us now we all kind of growned up some sort of way then really in size" Littlefoot said speaking how much they grown inside from experiences.
-
Chomper nods, "I can remember what it was like when I first returned to the Great Valley." Chomper said.
"Certain things have changed quiet a bit indeed. Others not as much." Mr. Thicknose said.
"Change isn't to bad sometimes, but some of it is better then others." Cera said thinking how annoying some changes could be.
-
"You with the baby longneck" Mr Threehorn turn to Evan "You seem very happy seeing us, haven't you spoken to dinosaurs before?"
-
"Hm I wonder if DIG forces have some technolgy like the ship the US&UK found before this all happened,' frank thought to himself. "If they doI'd love to see the home world,' frank continued to think.
-
Big Boss was checking up on activatives when Sam enters the Recon UNIT. "Sam how your first day been?" refering to his new form and promotion.
-
Grandpa longneck chuckled and replied "Change is just a part of life. It can be hard for some and easy for others, but in the end everyone learns a valuable lesson. Wouldn't you agree Mr.Thicknose?"
Longtail couldn't decide who to surprise first so he chose Ducky and jumped out of the water, tackling her while doing so. Rising out of the water again he laughed as he said "Sorry Ducky...I just couldn't resist."
-
"It has been very good sir,' sam said. "I had a question do any NEA member know about the ship,' he asked.
-
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "Very true. I do like some change, and change will happen whether you like it or not. And you can indeed learn something new from change. & some change can bring good things."
Ducky laughed, "It is ok, it is fun." She said while splashing him a bit.
-
"Not that I am aware of, if they knew then someone working for them without trigging any of the defences but we would of heard if so from our own people in NEA" Big Boss said to Sam then said "Unless this person working for Elm directly and know him he wouldn't say anything to NEA if he knew about the ship"
Mr Threehorn look to them speaking "I gather that true. but I don't have to agree with it all the time" he stared at Mr Thicknose.
-
Frank walked over to elm and wispered in his ear "I'd like to talk to you about something later that I heard.'
-
"ALright" Elm turn to him
-
Cera smiles at Melissa, "Hello, do you have a name?" She asked, "Did you like that treesweet?" Cera asks again.
"Will some of us knowing about you change how you do things, or get you in trouble?" Chomper asked.
-
"Her names melissa,' frank said to cera. He then turned to Mr threehorn and said "Being a parent is a great feeling you know.'
-
Cera looked at Melissa, "That is a nice name." She said to her.
-
"Indeed it is and seeming how well protective Elm is of you that shows he really cares" Mr Threehorn said to Frank and that when Frank took notice of why he just be promoted to lvl 9 and why Elm choice this time and place to revile his Frank's father.
Elm looked to the time and amazed "Wow it almost 7pm, where all that time gone, guess we all chatting having a little bit of fun, almost the whole day gone by" Elm laughed.
"Yeah, it been great down here, this has to be one of the most amazing places I even been in, right guys?" Littlefoot turn to the others.
(Where Lilefoot? Ruby and Evan haven't said a word at all and the are controled by him... could someone find out what going on?)
-
OCC: (Terribly sorry for my absence. Thing is, lots of stuff going on, and Patrick's here, so I don't wanna post around as much as usual.
I'll get back to it this evening. :^.^: )
-
Comper nods, "It has been fun." He said.
Mr. Thicknose nods, "It has been interesting." He says, "Though I am a bit curious about something. I know my memory is...rather unusual among the dinosaurs who have visited and live in the great valley." Mr. Thicknose said.
"What is so different about it, memory is memory." Cera said, "You remember some things, and you forget some things."
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "For most folks, but not for me. I can remember everything. The first time I tasted a treesweet, every word that wanderers said of the great beyond, every tragedy, sad event, every happy event. I was just curious if humans or rainbowfaces have such things. I've not known anyone else to have such a thing." He said curious.
-
Startor chuckled "Well I remember the first encounter with Chomper and all out little talks we have in the evenings in those secret Cavens. But also remember before hand when those high waters rushed into so many human cities... I was in one of them, New York City, I saved the people I could and we was the only chopper to escape the flooding that came so suddenly..." Startor was smiling at first and felt rather sad of the memory she had of the Great Flooding that destoryed and killed so many lives that set of days.
"Well if I was to speak of every event I can remember your going to be here for at least 9 months. that almost a whole year." Elm chuckled
"I don't think I can listen to something like that for that long" Littlefoot joked and Elm got it and laughed with Littlefoot.
-
"Some nights when I close my eyes I see every moment of that day when I saw the weapons that we as humans vowed never to be used in combat again,' frank said with a sad look on his face. "As fighter pilots like me will tell you the memories never cease they have a way of sticking with you,' frank said wiping away the tears. "Most of what i've seen is not approiate for young ones ears,' frank said.
-
Grandpa longneck looked shocked as he asked "You remember everything Mr.Thicknose...impressive. Most impressive, I am curious though, if you do indeed remember everything that has happend and been told; then tell me when did the last tree sweet fall from the tree?"
-
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "I do. And as for the last treestar, it depends on if you mean when I personally saw one, or when I heard some others talking about it."
-
"It has really been interessting indeed." Evan said.
"Yes, I'm very happy to meet you all." he said, refeering to what Mr.Treehorn had asked him.
"It's not everyday both of our kinds get to meet face to face, if you know what I mean." he chuckled.
"What I've experienced during the past two 24 hours, is beyond any of my imagination."
"Will we all be going back now? I'm for one's quite the tired, and so is...." he looked down in his knees, where he usually would find Ian yawning. "Ian's not I guess..." he said with a laugh, looking after Ian.
Ian was standing in the water happily squicking, trying to wet Ducky, Melissa and the others down , by splashing water with his tail.
"I'm quite tired to." Ruby said. "Hey!"
He had got a some water on her body from Ian. She bent down.
"Hello there, cutie boy! You like splashing water at others?" she smiled and splashed some back on Ian.
-
Mr. Thicknose smilled at seeing the kids playing, then he looked at Grandpa Longneck and Mr. Threehorn. "Do the 2 of you have any tips to share with the new adaptive parents of Ian and Melissa?" He asked them.
Ducky giggled in happiness & delight, splashing some water back at Ian as well.
Petrie jumped back as he got a few drops on him. "Me already have bath few bright circles ago." He said.
Spike used only the tip of his tail to be sure to splash only a little water on Ducky then Ian.
-
"Not sure to be truthly... it would be a threehorn looking after a baby Threehorn but a Rainbow Face and human looking after these little ones well that I am not sure of..." Mr Threehorn wasn't even sure what to say about it "All I say is be a good paritent and try to teach her some Threehorn ways, if you need help with that guess I let you come find me in the Great Valley after your next hatchday and your not looking too much like the humans, I might of accepted the humans but others might not be so willing"
Elm watched the kids playing "Been a while since I stood in front of kids having fun. brings back some fun memorys" Elm chuckled looking over to Frank.
-
"Yeah it does,' said frank thinking about his kids who had died just a year eariler.
-
Evan nodded, then turned to Grandpa Longneck.
"Mr.Longneck, may I ask some questions?" he asked.
-
"Yeah I also have some for Mr threehorn,' frank said.
-
"Alright, guess it won't hurt to answer a few." Mr Threehorn hope they don't be too big of a question or some that hard to answer ones.
-
Grandpa longneck nodded and replied "Of course. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have Frank."
-
"Thanks!" Evan replied.
"Tell me, you've been rasing Littlefoot up, haven't you?"
"Well, I was just wondering, Ian here, he feels I'm his father..."
"It's not like we humans get to raise dinosaur babies, so..."
"I just wondered if you could give me some advices for me, for Ian's sake." Evan said and nodded against Ian.
----------
Ruby stepped next to Evan.
"I think you've been doing good so far, Evan." she said.
"So has you Mr.Frank, you've both teached your babies to walk and play!"
"Don't you think so guys?"
Ian walked up to Ruby, liking her leg, squicked and looked up happily at her.
"Oooh, aren't you the cutest!" Ruby said and lifted Ian up on her back.
Ian seemed to enjoy the ride, and waged his tail in joyness.
-
Grandpa Longneck smiled and chuckled and replied "You indeed have been doing a wonderful job Evan. Well if there is any help I can give you, it would be this...give them freedom to play and grow, but also show them the best way to make choices and learn. That I think is the best advice I can give, it has certainly worked for Littlefoot."
-
"Yeah I was just wondering about some of these threehorn ways you were telling me about,' frank said looking at Mr threehorn.
-
"It does look like you have been doing well so far, but a little advice usually doesn't hurt." Mr. Thicknose said.
"Wow that sounds like good advice." Chomper says looking at both Threehorn and Grandpa Longneck.
-
"Well for now could you tell me the basic threehorn ways,' frank asked mr threehorn.
-
"Well that quite tough, I was taught to be tough no matter what and that what I taught Cera. It depends on what taught by those parents, threehorn things usually are good at hitting things with their heads." Mr Threehorn said trying to be some help. "Tria would give me a ear full if I tell someone to look after their child... but food advice, treestars or ferns are always a favioute of ours" He gave some suggestion on food.
-
"Thank you for your advice,' frank said to mr threehorn.
-
"Yea, who doesn't like treestars?" Cera said.
"I don't, I tried one once. I don't think Guido does either." Chomper said.
"Well, the 2 of you don't count." Cera said.
"Those who like green stuff all like treestars I've seen, though flatteeth do take a long time to eat." Chomper said.
Mr. Thicknose was looking at some of the kids and thinking how they were playing not to long ago. "I wonder if this is the only visit or if future visits may be allowed. The kids seem to get along well and I hope they can play again in the future, and all of us could have interesting conversations in the future." He said looking at the humans and rainbow faces.
-
"Well I don't see why you can't visit again, this place would be the best to visit specially for the large grown up dinosaurs that can't really fit through our corridors." Elm said seeming to not mind it "But I would have to get advice notice of it, because we do have to work for a living and today while we been here many of the people up above inside the complex been working hard as they usually do to keep things running, we kind of run a very complex life" Elm chuckled.
Littlefoot remembered seeing and hearing humans speaking about things they had to do when living that cargo bay "So that what they was all talking about? wow I guess everyone has their own way of living huh? Grandpa" he looked up at his Grandpa.
----
Big Boss was waiting for the DNA profile to arrive tapping his claw fingers on the table then a messenge came and it was what he wanted "Frank's DNA, prefect." Big Boss turns on the intercom "Sam get in here right now" then he turns it off looking at the data "Now if my estimations are correct it will take... oh look at that one day after Frank's birthday to complete the gas form of the DCURE and upgrade the delievery systems on my craft, that means by Friday next week it be over for the human race" he said to himself no one else in the Recon Unit at the time as he chuckled
-
Sam hunks entered big bosses office "You called me sir,' he said.
-
"And how would one give advance notice?" Mr. Thicknose asked curious since he knew he'd like to visit in the future, and also assumed the Grandpa Longneck may enjoy it, he wasn't sure about Threehorn.
"And maybe some of you can visit the Great Valley." Chomper said.
"Well," Cera said, not sure of the idea, "Maybe the rainbowfaces and the baby longneck and threehorn. Some of the grown ups may be scared of seeing humans, as dumb as that is." Cera said.
"Maybe the humans can use a device like Elm has to look like a rainbowface or fastrunner." Chomper said. "It would be neat to be able to change or look different sometimes." He said smiling and liking the idea.
"I prefer me, just as I am so no changing for me." Cera said. "If others want to that is their business, as long as they leave me out of it." She said.
--
Ducky and Spike continued splashing while Petrie watched. "Look like fun, but Petrie no swimmer, no can swim." He said.
"That is ok Petrie, you can watch, if you want." Ducky said to which Spike nodded. "Or sit with your feet in the water. If you want."
-
"Well if I got to enter the valley above, I'd be most happy!" Evan said. unable to hide his exitement.
"Would be good for little Ian and Melissa to get to see their world, their real world."
"But yeah, all creatures fear what's new. No doubt some of the dinosaurs above would... fear... us humans. Even though, we would do everything to show them that we not wish them any harm..."
---------
"Would you like to see the Great Valley, little Ian?" Ruby said to Ian.
Ian stood on Ruby's back and waged his tail happily in answer. "I think he likes to!" Ruby said, "Melissa aswell!"
--------
"I know he wants to, Ruby" Evan replied, and tickled Ian under his cheek.
"But, how would it be possible for us humans to enter the Valley?"
"He looked at the others, hoping someone could have the answer to that.
-
"Sam, we have Frank's DNA. By next Friday the ship will take off and first we will infect all mankind on the landmass, how would you like to personally overlook the devlopment process?" Big Boss said to him with a smile knowing he'd love to.
---
Elm was about to answer the question when the screen that was still showing the outside changed to a Rainbow Face at some room "This is a automatic messenge and one that can't be delayed to be seen by any clearances for you Professor Elm, They have Frank's DNA, they got it from some blood bank at Complex Alpha under the Triceratop Peak. You got till next Friday to find a way to stop him, I can't delay him, sorry and I will be working as I normally will for Big Boss. I hope you can do it... Louise Out" the messenge ends and the screen returns to normal
"What the heck was that!?" Mr Threehorn demanded a answer.
"My Daughter and Frank's twin sister" Elm turn to Frank "She works for DIG but to give me all the intel from within for the last year and made me promise not to give any details of her being there or she being your sister Frank... I wish I could but I had to horour my promise."
"Yes... Rainbow Face promises... once we make them we horour them no matter what till the other choice to end it. just like now" Female Rainbow Face stated.
"Erm... what DIG?" Littlefoot asked.
-
Frank gave a confused look "Sister,' he asked.
-------------
"It would be my honor sir,' sam said. "Finally justice will be brought to that murder frank anderson,' he added.
-
"Dig, Dna, clearances?" Chomper asked confused and looked at some different folks, "What are those?"
"Don't look at me, how should I know." Cera said.
"It sounds bad." Chomper said.
"When do we go and pound 'em?" Cera asked, not minding a fight with bad guys at all.
Mr. Thicknose looked at Elm, "I would surmise that this DIG is like this organization, but not as benevolent?" He asked guessing from the tone of the rainbowface's voice and what she said.
Petrie flew back seeing the message and wondering what was going on and what that thing was.
"That was an amazing device, what does it do?" Chomper asked looking at the screen.
"Yea, what that?" Petrie asked, hovering in front of the screen.
"I would surmise it's some way for them to communicate over a long distance. Quite amazing. And more efficient then shouting or sending a flyer with a message."
"Like way Mo sended message underwater to other swimmers? They sended one back telling us how to get to smoking mountain when we took him to big water." Petrie asked remembering seeing Mo do some sort of talking long distance underwater.
-
Grandpa Longneck looked down at Littlefoot and smiled and replied "Yes Littlefoot, everyone has a different way to live, and that is what makes us all special." He then listened to the announcement and looked confused as he asked "Excuse me Proffesor Elm, but what are you going to do now?"
Longtail who was still playing near the water with Ducky and Spike and looked up in time to see Petrie flying over to the others as he said to Ducky "Where is Petrie going?"
-
"These are not the kind of people you want to fight,' frank said looking at cera.
-
"Indeed but Big Boss is a Rainbow Face he was the one that was with me at the time I was put to sleep like the other two, But he the one that caused their unit to malfucation in the first place. He kind of hates the human race so much that he built a type of liquad that able to turn humans into Dinosaurs by force changing everything about them, their minds everything... the human gone replaced by a dinosaur of no memorys of a human life... forcing that change" Elm sighed then look to Ian and Melissa
"These two use to be human, but they humans are gone forever. Ian and Melissa is what they are and will be grown up to be. the ones they use to be gone forever never to return... in a way it killing the human..." Startor turn seeing their horror of it.
"These little ones was one of you..." Mr Threehorn said to her she nods "They look like only hatchlings but if what your saying is ture that is very wrong... I don't like the way a human looks but your human that that but no one should change nature like that!"
----
Big Boss smiled then got a alert messenge through from a DIG Opertive from Gamma Complex at the Great Wall. "Sir if you getting this I believe they may contact with the Great Valley dinosaurs specially that very large Triceratops, I been listening in and they seem to be aware of you getting Frank's DNA looks like the Opertive in the Blood Bank complex is been found out. Messenge out"
Big Boss looked anger "Now this a problem if they got on the right side of that Threehorn it means the Valley could be behind those humans now... to be sure the gas to work 100% affectiveness we need to do it by time I set, any sooner it could even harm the dinosaurs." Big Boss then look to Sam "What is this about Frank being a murder?"
-
"He killed many our pilots in the war and some civilians during the bombing raid on the industreal city strun in southern elka. sam said.
-
"You think I'm afraid of him, some rainbowface? Shows how much you know about me." Cera said.
"That is very wrong indeed. Any way we can help you to stop him?" Mr. Thicknose asked, shocked at the news and what he had heard.
"Somebody should turn him into a human, that would be fair." Chomper said.
"No can undue with own liquid?" Petrie asked.
_______
Ducky stops her splashing to shrug, "Maybe he was hungry and decided to go and get some treesweets, or some other green food." Ducky said.
Spike nodded, thinking Petrie going off to eat may be a good idea, he liked to eat a lot. He then splashed the other 2 a little with Ducky retaliating by splashing him in return.
-
"This is no ordinary rainbow face he killed millions of humans when he caused the flooding that almoist wiped out the human raced,' frank said. "He also killed a lot during the war,' he added.
-
"He has gone over the top but something changed in him, his not like he was during any of the wars or the great flooding. Big Boss as they call him his taking a long time to get this to work, and why change humans into dinosaurs if he knows that weapons he does have could easily finish off the NEA in one swift attack" Elm stated to Frank. "He must of knew about your sister already but some reason his ignoring her as a threat almost begging us to defeat him. Why would he give me the Pure sample of the DCURE? it not only a favour but something in him made him feel guilty over his pride of victory that seems he wants us to defeat him" Elm spoke almost like it was what he believed putting the pieces together.
----
"And we killed millions of theirs Sam... revenge might be the way to get your own back but as the old saying goes... 'two wrongs don't make a right'. Sam if your blinded by your revenge for your people you will never reach your goal. Trust me I learnt that the hard way" Big Boss turn looking at a photo by a computer screen showing a lady with a slightly younger rainbow face and two children "My revenge cost me my family"
-
"All the more reason to bash him, stomp on him," Cera says angry at what she's heard what the others said, she pauses and gets one of her evil grins as she looks at Chomper, "or turn him into a human. Great idea Chomper." She says.
"Thanks, you think so?" Chomper says looking at her.
"Yes, being around me must be rubbing off on you." Cera said.
-
"He probbaly lost those dear to him,' frank said.
-
"I understand sir I also lost my loved ones in that terrible war,' sam said.
-
"That is possible, and maybe a part of him is sorry for what he is doing and regrets it, and also maybe most of him still wants to go ahead with this, changing humans thing." Mr. Thicknose said.
-
"Yes it's possible he has a struggle between what good is left in him and his darker side,' frank said.
-
Grandpa Longneck smiled and said "Yes, I agree with Mr.Thicknose. Perhaps part of him is sorry for what he's doing, but sometimes it takes many cold times to see what he has done is wrong."
Longtail turned and laughed as he continued to splash and play with Ducky in the water.
-
Ducky giggled as she splashed Longtail back. Spike smiled as he splashed both of them, one then the other, using only a the last bit of his tail so he wouldn't splash them much.
-
Mr Threehorn turn to them "Cera this isn't some game, this Rainbow Face sounds like he knows how to use these human tools so well that he could harm you from just standing far away without you even getting a chance to charge him..." Mr Threehorn seem very concerned now
"Elm you better find a way to defeat that Rainbow Face or we will have to find a way ourselves, you've lived in our Valley Wall for some time and as I hate to say it you and the humans are part of the Great Valley even though most don't know about you. If any harm comes to yous we will take it personally and defend you best as we can" Mr Threehorn said in a very serious tone at the last part
Elm pulled out of a pocket a odd looking orb then said "if all else fails I will use this"
"What is it?" Littlefoot looked at the ball like object.
"A last resort" Elm puts it away in his pocket.
-
"What are the exact cordinates to the home world,' frank asked.
-
"Not a clue" Female Rainbow Face replied "The stars would of moved by different pulls in gravity over the last 65 million years. Without something that could map out where and what stars shifted since they look pretty much the same from the ground but in different locations we can't really even begin to map out a point to the homeworld."
Elm nods "she has a very very good point Frank, the sun or as these guys call the Bright Circle our world near would not be in the location the cordinates we have, not knowing of what events took place in the last 65 million years with some stars or lesser lights as Littlefoot calls them could of died out or gone nova. In the end we can't tell where our world is. Too much events to even begin to figure out in that huge about of time" Elm said agreeing to what the Female Rainbow Face said.
"Yeah the lesser lights are not in the same place as before I can agree on that. they look too different to the oens I remembered" Littlefoot nods and that was three things that Frank heard that meant the homeworld was almost impossible to look for.
-
"They have changed, I noticed that. Some farwalkers used the night lights to navigate when they travel at night. They use both the pictures one can make with the night lights and the fact that there is one that always points north, but they've all changed. " Mr. Thicnkose said.
"I know its not a game daddy. I am serious with what I said, especially liking Chomper's idea. I just wish I had gotten it first." Cera said looking at her father. "Lets turn him into a human, so he knows what being changed feels like."
"You folks seem to have all sorts of devices, do you have one that could use how the night lights use to be 65 million years ago and tell you where your homeworld is today?"
(OOC: they can do that with today's computers, or at least they could when they were putting together the old pbs tv show Cosmos, one that I would guess no one has ever heard of before. I remember there is a bit where Carl Sagan talks about how stars move a bit and how over time the ones that make up the constellations will move and he showed some examples. Not sure if the tech of this world is the same, or maybe they lost the ability to do that or never had it. ))
-
"Cera turning him into a human would not be right he was born as a rainbowface if he were meant to be anything else he would have been made that way,' frank said.
-
"He is changing others against their wills, so it is only fair I think, just so he would know what it feels like." Cera said, still adamant thinking her idea and reason was good and wasn't going to budge from it.
-
Elm turn to Cera "Two wrongs don't make a right Cera... We would end up sinking down to his level and you wouldn't want to be called the bad guy would you Cera?"
Mr Threehorn listened "That is correct. sinking to his level wouldn't solve any thing it would just make us as bad as him" Mr Threehorn said to Cera. "Plus it wouldn't stop him from forfilling his plans it would just make him feel the need to do it more"
(I know about what on TV but finding one planet by the star you know is your home is at is like looking for a needle in a haystack and trying to prodict a route from 65 million years back that anything could happen before human estimating of where stars are even begins. Plus some of those stars that was around 65 million years ago could of died or gone nova which would never know about because they local to our galexy which these events could take 30 years to 80,000 years to show. Taking into account there is a 65 million year differences in the galexy so it kind of make it hard to map out where your homeworld could be fron another world if you was frozen for 65 million years.)
-
"Yeah you have a point there,' frank said.
-
"I'm still not sure. What else is there to do, ask him nicely to please stop. That would likely be as effective as asking a sharptooth to please not to eat you." Cera said.
Mr. Thicknose looked around, "Are there any ideas on how to best stop him?" He asked.
-
"One way is finding a way to make another version of the DCURE but it will only attack the other DCURE and destory the gas before it could affectivly reach anyone in the Land Mass it could be possible that would take all week and leaving us very little time and another opition is I go into the heart of the Craft that they hiding if I am correct if that what they hiding and go face to face with Big Boss. I know him more then anyone if anyone could reason with him I can" Elm said to them with his suggestions.
"Force won't be possible because if it is a craft this thing will be huge and damaging it would rain pieces down on the Dinosaurs land below and if it crashed same thing would happen..." Elm knew that attacking directly would never work.
Littlefoot was thinking about that orb he wasn't sure but if that was a last resort it could mean it was more powerful then it seems but kept it to himself "Sounds like that Big Boss Rainbow Face knew frontly attacks wouldn't work... but if you know him better then anyone then you might get through to him" Elm smiled knowing Littlefoot was trying to get a grip of it.
Elm moves over to Grandpa Longneck and wave his hand down with him doing so "Your Grandson really is amazing, he really trying to understand this and think of his own solution of things. you should be really proud of such a smart and amazing child" Elm whispered to Grandpa.
-
"He'll most likely have an aide I think I know who he chose so I'll have to talk to his aide while elm talks to big boss,' frank said.
-
"I understand do you wish to be alone now,' sam asked big boss.
-
"Yes if you don't mind, go down to Deck 6 section 9 of the ship, you will find someone waiting for you there that working as well on the gas, it was she who started working on the gas form and came into tones of problems bring them to me, I believe you two be able to get the job down by next week" Big Boss said to Sam respecting that he saw that Big Boss needed his personally space.
-
Sam left the office and started to head down to the ship.
------------
"I have other stories besides the ones of my military service,' frank said.
-
Mr. Thicknose looked at Elm, "Do you really think you can talk him out of it?" Mr. Thicknose asked. "Would he even listen to you, or allow you to get close enough to him to talk? Wouldn't he instead try to kill you or something like that."
"He sounds like a very mean person." Chomper said.
"It may be necessary to try to do various options at once, in hopes that one of then will work. Perhaps leaving that talking one to last, if he'll let you talk to him at all." Mr. Thicknose said.
-
"He won't harm a fellow Rainbow Face, that why he frozen them two in a deep sleep then rather kill them in the ice, he couldn't put himself to doing it" Elm explained to Mr Thicknose "He told me himself just before we went into that sleep ourselves."
"Does that mean he didn't do the Great Flooding?" Littlefoot asked
"Most likely not, he most likely stood in the shadows watching as humans under him did it for him, he must of watched in great pain as humans died, that why he started turning humans into dinosaurs, because in his mind it not killing just changing their form of life to a better on in his belief" Elm explained to Littlefoot. "But it is wrong and he has to be stopped but for today I think we should leave it there... it over a week away and for now nothing happening. No need of a panic we will be able to do something in a weeks time I promise you that" Elm smiled
---
Big Boss sighed looking at another image of him and another Rainbow Face Elm... I know I done alot of wrong things but one thing I couldn't do each time these events set off is do it myself... I always go a human to set them off... I couldn't put myself to harming all those lives Big Boss spoke in his thoughts staring a the image
-
Sam reached the section of the ship where the person big boss told him about was and looked over the lab.
-
Frank smiled and said to himeslf "It's always nice when you have a family,' rememmber his own family as he wiped away a tear streaming down his face.
-
"So you must be Sam" a female voice spoke out he turn to see a female Rainbow Face standing there "Name is Ice and no it not a nickname" she turns to a computer and continued to work on it "Now studying F-Frank's DNA and the way this is working at the moment looks like the first test of a sample of the gas on a subject in the next 24 hours" Ice said to him as she looked at the data on the screen.
-
"Wouldn't he just say, take care of that rainbowface for me. Or have a standing order to take care of any strange dinosaurs who do not work for him. Or have you imprisoned saying he'll talk to you when it's all over." Cera said.
"Petrie like many choices." Petrie said landing on a branch.
"There should be some ways that we can help." Mr. Thicknose said.
"Yea, some of you may look... rather strange to us, but we don't want any of you harmed do we daddy?" Cera said looking at the humans and rainbowfaces then at her father.
Ducky splashed Longtail a bit more while giggling. "Some flyers do not like playing in the water, they do not." Ducky said.
-
"It's nice to meet you ice,' sam said. "Big boss will be pleased with the news,' he added.
-
"Every culture has needed help once in a while,' frank said.
-
"That is right Cera" Mr Threehorn replied to Cera
Littlefoot yawned a little "Wonder if it day still above"
Elm look at his watch "Sunset is now" Elm answered.
"wow we really been down here that long" Littlefoot laughed a little.
----
Ice just replied "I will send the results when I it right to. No inbetween"
-
"Yeah,' frank said in agreement.
------
Melissa came up to frank and yawned. "You've had a busy day huh,' frank said smiling.
-
Cera looked at the two young dinosaurs, "Do you have a place for them to sleep?" She asked.
"It has been a very interesting experience indeed. I think you for allowing us inside and to meet you folks." Mr. Thicknose said.
"Petrie glad cave bright, no dark, and no scaries inside." Petrie said.
-
"Mabye tomorrow we could give you young ones a tour if it alright with elm that is,' frank said.
----------
"Ok,' sam siad.
-
"That would be cool." Chomper said.
"Me like idea." Petrie said from the branch where he was.
"You kids have fun during the tour." Mr. Thicknose said.
"It certainly is different." Cera said.
-
"I don't see any problems with that and even allow them at the obverstation Deck but labs and offices including storage rooms will be off limits because people will be working mostly in those areas" Elm said to them seeming to not mind it at all.
"We will visit the Great Valley tonight and return here in the morning with the children" Female Rainbow Face said to Elm.
"Very well" Elm nods then turn to Evan "Soon as I understand more of the DCURE and make it into a tool then a weapon that Big Boss has done you could maybe well experience for a short time how it be to around adult size longneck like Littlefoot's Grandpa getting a feel of a dinosaur parient as well" Elm said with a smile.
Littlefoot look to Elm with amazement. "you could do that to that stuff?"
"Well it time about a day or so but I think I can do it if I pull a all nighter, so I will leave the tour in Startor's and Frank's hands for tomorrow" Elm answered Littlefoot's question.
"Sounds better then what Big Boss did, at least in your version the change only lasts shortly" Mr Threehorn seem that was fine by him getting a little trust to Elm.
-
"You gotta be kidding!" Evan said and shudered as if lightning had struck him, and took off his glasses.
"You mean we could acctually do that? Seriously?"
Ian had fallen asleep on top of Ruby's back. He made little snoring sounds.
"Aww, the cutie has fallen asleep..." Ruby said.
She carefully took Ian, layed down and let him sleep next to her.
"You mean you could acctually be able to do so to Evan?" Ruby said to Elm, and made big eyes. "Isn't that dangerous? It sounds so to me, after all I've heard..."
-
Longtail splashed Ducky back and said "Well, I'm not like most swimmers, I can swim...wanna see?"
Grandpa Longneck smiled and said "Yes, I think a tour would be a wonderful idea for the little ones. I do hope they have a good time." He then looked to his grandson and said "You be sure to be careful okay Littlefoot?"
-
"I will Grandpa" Littlefoot smiled
Elm nods to Ruby and Evan "Indeed, if you put in the right formulas into a pure sample even just a tiny amout of a pure sample you could change it to do something else then what it does. If I get the right balance I can make a version of the DCURE that could only temperally change a human into a dinosaur depending on the DNA in the mix for a period of time, once that time over they would change back to normal" Elm explained his science of the DCURE.
-
"Yeah it's happened to me before,' frank said perking everyone attention. "When I first did my experiements there was you could say a meltdown the process caused me to be in a raptor's form for a few days before I returned to normal, frank said.
-
Evan simply couldn't hesitate.
"Well, if that's the case, I'd be more than willing to try so!" Evan said smiling and putted his glasses back on.
"Um.. I should ask, are there any bi-effects...? He looked at Elm, but also at Frank, who had been trough this before.
"When it comes to Ian, I think he'll still recognize me as his dad. It's a matter of feelings, rather than appearence." Evan said, and looked down on his sleeping little fellow.
"I belive so too!" Ruby said.
"Even if you would not look like you, you would still be you."
-
"Ian seem very smart when I complete it just exlain it to him that you might look very different but you be the same father he knows and loves" Elm smiled "But till I get it completed you'll have to wait."
Startor looked over to them "I believe it time for everyone to go home now, many will start to worry where their kids are and some folks will worry as well"
"yeah she right, Tria would be concerned about us both not being back at the nest, you know how much she worries" Topys chuckled.
"Yeah Grandma would be worried as well" Littlefoot look up at Grandpa
"YOu all can take the route Mr Threehorn took, it leads up to the surface" Elm looks over to the open tunnel.
-
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "I'm sure they would enjoy the tour." He said. Then thought of the rest of what Elm said for a bit before talking again. "As long as folks are willing and it is only for a while I guess it would be ok. And he and you'd have to decide what form. A longneck like young Ian there, or since he has hands and is a biped maybe one of the bipedal types of dinosaurs like a rainbowface a fast runner, or a swimmer." Mr. Thicknose said.
"Maybe flyer." Petrie said.
"Maybe that would take more to adjust, not knowing how to fly, but is a possibility." Mr. Thicknose said.
"Me teach to fly. Me teach Guido to glide." Petrie said.
"Many choices and options." Mr. Thicknose said.
"As long as it's not forced and the person is ok." Cera said, not sure of the idea. "but I do like the idea of seeing more of this place."
"Yea, another tour would be neat." Chomper said, "And also neat the idea of folks being dinosaurs for a while." He said.
"Would the person have some sort of warning they are about to change back soon?" Mr. Thicknose asked, thinking, "Or they and some dinosaurs would be mightly surprised and shocked if say a longneck, swimmer, or a flyer suddenly turned into a human, not to mention if they were in the air as a flyer." Mr. Thicknose said.
---
Ducky nodded, "That sounds like fun, it does, it does. I did not know you could swim, no I did not." Ducky said.
-
"Yeah you young ones would enjoy the tour,' frank said.
-
"I guess it's time to call it a day, or something like that." Evan chuckled.
"Elm, do I still have to stay down here, untill you get things ready? Or would you have me go elsewhere?"
"Yes, you and I, Chomper, should be heading back now."
"Evan, I think someone here needs you know." Ruby said and handed Ian over to Evan, who took him and held him in his arms. Ian made some squicking sounds.
"Thanks, Ruby. I think he likes you!" Evan said with a smile.
"No problem, and I sure like him." Ruby answered with a bright smile.
-
Melissa fell asleep in franks arms. frank smiled "I bet one day we'll all learn to live together in peace,' frank said.
-
Grandpa Longneck smiled and replied "I do hope that one day we can indeed we can live together in peace. It would be a great experience for everyone."
Longtail smiled and said to Ducky "Yep, it's something I taught myself in the Mysterious Beyond. I'm very proud of that too. Hey...I'll race ya underwater!"
-
Ducky nods, "That sounds like fun. Ok, but from where to where?" Ducky asked.
-
"AS for the warning they will have a tiny mic in their ear and when it soon to wear off a automatic or someone will give a messenge saying he/she got 1 hour to go" Elm said to Mr Thicknose. "And I will open the hatch up for you all" he walks over to the controls to open the floor that leads outside.
"Indeed Cera that is correct and thank you even this been a strangest experice of my life" Mr Threehorn said to Cera then said to Elm.
-
"See you all tomorrow,' frank said. He thought back to when he was a kid and thought to himself "It's always nice to have friends.'
-
"I believe they will, I think it time for us to take out leave" Mr Threehorn said looking over to them all.
-
"Yeah, see you all tomorrow!" Evan said.
Then sat down and placed Ian on a pile of cloth.
"Bye bye! See you!" Ruby said and waved, as she headed for the exit.
-
Grandpa Longneck looked up making sure all the children were ready and noticed three of them were missing. He called out "Longtail, Ducky, Spike, its time to leave!"
Longtail groaned and said "Well, we will have to start the race tomorrow Ducky." He then stepped out of the water and began walking towards the others.
-
Frank set melissa who had fallen asleep down next to ian. "So evan what do you want to do now swap old war stories,' frank asked evan.
-
"Sure thing, Frank." Evan replied.
"You go ahead, I'm sure you have more to tell than I do." he caughed.
"Unless you don't insist me to."
"Most of mine is quite recent, not long before I managed to settle down."
-
"Alright then well this one takes place back during the elkan war we were ordered to help allied air forces in area F8R aka the round table the allied air forces had already been 50% destroyed by the elkans,' frank said. He continued "when my squadron arrived we took them by surprise the elkan weren't expecting us to be thereafter a good prtion of the elkan forces were destroyed we saw several craft on radar I knew they were elkan reinforcements but I noticed they were chasing a MIG-29 when I realised who was doing the chasing,' frank said thinking back. "Eight red and black Su-37's were chasing the lone mig I heard over the raido "No any one but them,' I simpley responded Hey hello? didn't you notice that we're here? I ask the pilot r-r-right I heard I tried to see why the mig was running I heard from the mig pilot help me please so Imy sqauad and I helped shooting down the feared 10th night fighter air division 2nd tatical fighter squadron,' frank said. "Last I heard it's commander was working for DIG,' frank added. "You know who the mig pilot was,' frank asked evan.
-
Evan nodded.
"Call me stupid but, no." he said.
"Why did they do that for? And what happened next"?
-
"The pliot of the fleeing mig of Ivan or melissa as he's now know as,' frank said. "The 10 2nd as they were more commenly know as were "esacpie Killers" basically any one who ran from battle they were called to shoot them down,' frank said. "That's how Ivan and I met we were both shot down we made our way through the bullet ridden battlefield and made it back to the allied front lines,' frank said. "Although a few weeks later his voice broke as he remembered when the elkans used their nuclear weapons on their own soil I'm sorry it's just that this nemory of a few weeks after I met ivan is emontional,' frank said.
-
Littlefoot came to the exit looking over to Grandpa "It was amazing today, will you tell Grandma about this place?" Littlefoot asked with wonder.
-
Ducky nodded a bit sad they had to leave, "I look forward to it, I do." She said. She did not know any flyers who could swim. Petrie stayed away from water and could not swim at all. Other swimmers were the only ones she knew who could swim, and Cera's little sister, though she was to young to race while swimming.
Chomper and Cera went with the rest of the others to the exit.
She climbed up onto Spike and the two of them set off to follow the others to the exit. Petrie waited and didn't take off till he saw Spike and Ducky walking past. Then he took off to remain with them.
-
Grandpa Longneck smiled and said "I'm not sure yet...she may enjoy a place like this, but we must also be careful to make sure that only she knows about it, so others will not try to find this place."
Longtail flew along side Petrie and smiled while thinking about the race he and Ducky were going to have tomorrow, he then said "Hey Petrie wanna watch me and Ducky race in the water tomorrow?"
-
Petrie nodded, "Me would. It sound fun to see." He said.
-
"So what about you have any war stories,' frank asked evan.
-
"Yeah your right Grandpa" Littlefoot nods as the Rainbow Faces come over to them as well "your coming?"
"yes we wish to stay the night under the stars" Female Rainbow face said with a smile.
"Alright" Littlefoot then turn to the humans in the underground valley "bye Elm, Evan, Startor and Frank. See ya tomorrow!" Littlefoot called out happily to them.
-
"See ya later kid,' frank said. "Yeah I'll be right there in a minute,' the male rainbowface said.
-
"What are you doing now?" female Rainbow Face put her claw hands on her hips getting a feeling his up to something again
-
"I just want to listen to some of the generals stories,' the male rainbow face said.
-
"I can't wait for tomorrow. I do hope it'll be fun like today was." Chomper said, excited about tomorrow.
"Well, it won't be till tomorrow so best to forget it till then." Cera said, disguising the fact that she was looking forward to it also and hoped it would be like today if not better.
Ducky looked at Spike as they walked along being the group. "I had fun today, I did. I hope tomorrow is like today, I do. How about you Spike?" She asked. Spike nodded and made some affirmative sounding sounds.
"I guess it's back to the normal for us larger folks." Mr. Thicknose said walking along towards the exit.
"Petrie no can wait." Petrie said agreeing with Chomper.
-
"Well Elm not going to keep this hatch open all night, either your coming now or your staying here overnight" she said back to the Male Rainbow Face.
-
"Alright alright I'm comming,' the male rainbow face said. "Well there's always tomorrow,' frank said. "Yeah I guess you're right alright I'm comming,' the male rainbow face said running after the female rainbow face.
-
Ducky nodded, "Yes, if he keeps it open all night someone might wonder in that he would not want to wonder in, they may." She said nodding.
"It true. Could happen, then a second, a third, on and on, then whole valley in here." Petrie said.
-
"Soon as everyone out the hatch will close behind, goodnight everyone and see you again tomorrow children you two as well" Elm said looking the two Rainbow Faces and the children also saying goodnight to everyone.
-
"Yeah see ya tomorrow,' the male rainbow face said to elm.
-
Elm opens up the hatch up at the top of the spiral slope "Take care" Elm smiled to them all
"Chomper see ya tomorrow" Startor waved with a smile
-
Frank waved to everyone leaving "See you all tomorrow,' he said.
------------------
"So do you want me to leave so you can concentrate,' sam asked ice.
-
Chomper waved to Startor smiling, "I can't wait. Good luck until then." He said then joined the others.
-
"Now uh where was I,' frank asked evan.
-
Ice points over to a computer "Big Boss said that you know what to do when you go to that computer over there" Ice said and went back to work
-
Sam wnet over to the computer and moved the mouse to turn off the screensaver. He clicked the specified file after clicking it he saw a design of aircraft he'd seen before. "Ah so Big Boss wants me to hack franks plane it will be my pleasure,' he said to himself.
-
Big Boss image appeared "Only to see what the plane sees and disabling the weapons including giving me remote control of it so when he does take off I can bring him right here to our base, But take your time, only impant the virus when the craft takes off, leave it to the last minute or they will find the virus" Big Boss said to him then the image vanishes just like that.
"Oh I forgot the boss imputted a auto messege for you as well in what to do" Ice said out loud knowing it most likely annoy Sam since she loved to it to others and that why she was alone since she ticked them off so much that they left to work in other areas.
-
"Yeah thanks for the update,' sam said sarcasticaly.
-
"No problem at all" Ice chuckled
-
"Evan do you have any stories,' frank asked again.
-
(Lilliefoot we wanting on him at the mo to reply to Frank as Evan)
-
"I'm not sure what you want to hear." Evan mumbled.
"Most of my stories are quite recent, even after the melting cathastrophe."
"Most recent, the last of my missions, I worked as the leader of a resque team."
-
"Well perhaps your most recent missions for I also helped with resque teams a few times in my career,' frank said.
-
Everyone was walking out Littlefoot his friends and the grown ups that came they came out of the ramp into the Great Valley again and once the Rainbow Faces also got out the ramp raised and sealed itself up looking like a rocky floor again. "I can't get use to how much that look and feel like rocky ground" Mr Threehorn mutted looking over at the floor.
-
"Well I for one can hardly wait for the tour tomorrow,' the male rainbow face said.
-
"Just don't give yourself a heart attack" Female Rainbow Face muttered.
"I seen some of it already, it has quite hard floors though, hard as dried up ground feel to your feet" Littlefoot said about the floor.
-
Mr. Thicknose looked at the Rainbowfaces, "It was nice to meet you." He said before pausing, "How large of an area was frozen anyway?" He asked.
Ducky looked at Ruby, then the rainbowfaces, "Yes, if a large enough area was frozen, maybe some outside the Great Valley are there now, like Ruby's Family." Ducky said, remembering her meeting of them.
"& me uncle Pterano." Petrie said, missing his uncle.
"Do you have a place to sleep? You can sleep in the secret caverns with Ruby & Me, there is enough room." Chomper said, not mentioning Ruby's family since he didn't want to get any hopes up.
Mr. Thicknose, "Or sleep with any of the rest of us, if you want. I'm sure most here would not mind." He said.
-
Female Rainbow Face thought about it "well if I took a guess the land would be massive, the Great Valley sits near one end while there a large some of land you call the Myterious Beyond past Saurious Rock and Threehorn Peak going out to a valley full of berries and even feather to a creator with plants growing there. I recall seeing Longnecks all in there at one time" She said to them "As for sleeping places we most likely find a suitable place thank you for the offer any way"
Littlefoot smiled "you saw that, we saved the world that day"
"Not really Littlefoot the Night circle is closer to your world but the sun or Great Circle you call it is feather away the night circle just moved in the way for a short period and moved on" she replied
"Wow, but it still felt we did something" littlefoot smiled "plus I wouldn't have met my father that day"
"Very true Littlefoot." Female Rainbow Face smiled back.
-
Grandpa Longneck chuckled and said "Yes, That was a very speical day for all of us." He looked to the rainbow faces and said "You two are more than welcome to nest with us if you wish."
Longtail smiled and asked the rainbow faces "Have you two met my uncle? He's a rainbow face too."
-
"Wow, that is a large area, it is, it is." Ducky said nodding from Spike's back who nodded to what Ducky said, thinking it is large indeed. She looked at Littlefoot, "And Shorty, do not forget him." She said.
"A valley full of berries? Sounds like the Yellowbellies were frozen too like us." Mr. Thicknose said, glad that such beings that had such joy had made it like they of the Great Valley had.
"They're not to bad. Once you get use to them." Cera said.
"Big area. Sound like Ruby family frozen too." Petrie said looking over at Ruby to see how she took the news.
"Yea, they lived in an area that is near Hanging Rock." Chomper said.
-
"Oh you mean the shettling point over by the east of Smoking mountians we been there once while taking a look around. It got a nice view for the sky and the ground, you sure know whos coming from that height" Female Rainbow Face recalled about Hanging Rock. Then she look at Longtail "your uncle is? hmm he must of been one of the ones that choice to live part of the circle of life group that stayed while others like me and my friend here from a generation that choice to leave" she seem sure of that.
Littlefoot nods to Ducky "Yeah how can I forget him, his my brother you know" Littlefoot chuckled.
"Well we better get back to our nests night is falling and many of your parents will be worried" Mr Threehorn said looking to the sky seeing the stars starting to show.
-
Grandpa Longneck nodded in agreement of what Topsy said and replied "Yes, the night circle is starting to rise in the sky. We should be getting home soon."
Longtail however looked surprised as he asked "Really, he was one of you, and stayed behind...wow..." then he asked "You wouldn't happen to know where he is now do you? The last time I heard from him he said he was taking a 'journey' into the Mysterious Beyond and I haven't seen him in a while. I'm starting to worry."
-
Female Rainbow Face about to say then saw a Rainbow Face coming down the mountian path nearest to them "Well could that be him?" she points just behind Longtail
-
"Evan you listening,' frank asked who was not sure if evan heard him.
-
Longtail turned his head and his eyes widened at the sight as he shouted "UNCLE CYRIX!!" And as fast as a flyer could...Longtail flapped his wings and bolted right into Cyrix, who for his part was expecting such a welcome simply hugged his nephew.
Longtail looked up and said "I missed you...I was starting to worry!"
Cyrix smiled and replied "Sorry Longtail...if it means anything I found what I was looking for." he looked up and noticed the other two rainbow faces and his smile brightened as he said "I see you've met some of my friends."
Now it was Longtail's turn to smile as he replied "Yeah! I'll bet you three have a lot to talk about!"
As Cyrix walked over still carrying Longtail he simply said "Yes, yes we do."
Grandpa Longneck grinned at the reunion of Longtail and Cyrix, as he said "It is always good when a family is back together."
-
Ducky nods, "It is, It is, I remember how it was when I got to the Great Valley the first time and saw my family there and was able to introduce them to Spike, I do." Ducky said remembering the event.
Spike nodded remembering it as well, meeting his entire new family all at once.
"Me remember me first time." Petrie said also remembering the event when he got to the Great Valley and his family.
"Sounds like it was great." Chomper said looking at those where on that journey.
"yea, it was good." Cera said, not wanting to display many or much emotions.
"and quite a tale to tell you have I bet." Mr. Thicknose said.
"Maybe, but others have stories too, like my sister Diver." Ducky said.
"Yes, everyone has stories, some more then others." Mr. Thicknose said nodding to what Ducky said.
-
"Indeed we do" Female Rainbow Face said with a smile "So what was it that you was looking for in which you found?" she asked him
Littlefoot hearing them talk about stories "Yeah and some stories that are sad" Littlefoot thought about his mother.

Big Boss walked to a large warehouse sitting at the end of the top side airbase "Open" he ordered the men they nod and four men on each door pulled the sliding doors open and he walked inside turning on the lights to see a large longneck chained downed to the ground "Oh don't give me that anger look young lady, your the one that tried to escape and wracked half of my base in the process. I had to take proconistions. tomorrow when the sun shines on the valley you will see the light of day again" Big Boss chuckled seeing that 12 lifting choppers was being prepared for take off "who would of thought that a 80 ton dinosaur could fly" he chuckled again.
-
Sam began to think to himself "If frank researched AI technology what else did he research that's classified'.
-
Wanting to lighten up the mood after the mention of Littlefoot's mother Ducky said, "And some are funny, like the Yellowbellies." Ducky said, giggling a bit as she remembered her encounter and adventure with them.
Spike nodded, especially liking Foobie and remembering his learning his dance.
"Me remember, they funny." Petrie said, laughing a bit at some of the things the yellowbellies did and said.
"Yea, they were... strange, but ok I guess." Cera said, not wanting to let on that she had eventually gotten to like the yellowbellies.
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "I did enjoy my brief talk with those... rather unusual yellowbellies. I do hope they visit again."
"They sound neat. I hope I get to meet them someday." Chomper said.
-
"We've met them before. Very unusally bunch and very lively, including they seem to forget very easily" Female Rainbow Face spoke
"Yeah we did tend to repeat ourselves alot with them but they was cool" Littlefoot said having to agree with her.
-
Frank muttered to himself "I'm anxious to test flight my new plane but only a order from the higher ups will do that'.
-
"I wonder if they remember us, I do, I do. Or if they forgot." Ducky said curious and hoping they had not forgotten them and their time together.
"Me hope they remember." Petrie said.
-
(Lilefoot we waiting on for Franks post. Could somenoe PM Lilefoot)
"I don't think they would forget us" Littlefoot said with a smile.
Mr Threehorn then speak up again "Lets save this chitchat for another time it time for you young ones to get some sleep" he said in a more serious tone.
"Indeed his correct, you all need to be well rested for tomorrow" Female Rainbow Face back up Mr Threehorn's words, he smiled seeing she was on his side of the coin.
-
Evan shuddered, took of his glasses and blinked his eyes.
"I'm sure you'll get the chance to do that..." he yawned.
"I'm sorry Frank. You have to forgive me, but I feel really exhausted..."
"No, I'm not bored because of you, I just feel that I have nothing to say..."
"I really want to sleep, will you let me?"
"I promise you I'll tell you my stories some other time?"
With that, Evan crossed his arms and closed his eyes.
---------------
Ruby haven't heard of these Yellowbellies before.
"I do wonder what they're like..." she said and looked up to the sky.
OOC( Terribly sorry that I'm not a frequent poster here. I really am. :(
I shall be honest atleast, I lack fantasy at the moment, and don't know what to write... Please accept that as an apology, it can happen to the best.)
-
"alright,' frank said.franks beeber went off frank answered it before it woke everyone in the room. "Yes what is it,' frank said in the speaker. "Sir could you come down to the hanger I have something to show you,' a mechanic said. "On my way,' frank asnwered before starting for the hanger.
-
"Cera come, it time to go" Mr Threehorn points to the direction of the nest not waiting for anyone to reply now, wanting his kid to get a good night sleep.
-
"Ok daddy." Cera said, "Goodnight everyone." She said, "See you tomorrow maybe." She said then started off for her sleeping area.
"Goodnight Cera." Littlefoot said.
"Goodnight, see you tomorrow." Chomper said.
"Goodnight Cera." Ducky said with Spike making a few sounds that could mean the same.
Mr. Thicknose nodded, "it is getting a bit late, and the bedtime for certain young ones." He said.
-
"Goodnight, Cera! Goodnight Mr.Threehorn!" Ruby siad and waved them goodbye.
"Chomper, shall we? she said and pointed towards the caves.
-
Chomper yawned, "Yea, I'm a bit tired." He said.
-
Mr Threehorn and Cera leaves. Littlefoot turn to his Grandpa "We going to our nest right grandpa?"
-
Frank reached the hanger and went to a door near the control tower A slot a finger print scanner and a retnal scanner came through the wall "Identifacation required,' a female computerized voice said. frank put his tail in the slot and his hands ond eyes on their scanners. "ID confirmed welcom General anderson,' the computer voice said "Thank you,' frank replied while walking through the door which closed after he entered. meanwhile a DIG operative who was ordered to watch the hanger sent the video footage to Big Boss "Are you getting this sir,' he asked.
-
"oh yes I am." Big Boss smiled sitting back in his chair which he only just sat down in it.
-
Evan woke up. He was once again alone in the undergroud.
But this time he felt lonely.
Maybe I'm just feeling nervous... who wouldn't... he thought.
He looked down on his body. Then chuckled for himself.
"This is gonna be one heck of a plastic surgery!"
Ian poked his side.
"You're awake to? I'm not suprised!"
Ian stood and looked up at him, layed his head on the side in curiosity.
Evan reached forward and grabed him, and rolled over on his back, holding Ian up above him. "There you are!"
Ian squicked happily, enjoying the ride.
"You know..." Evan said as he put down Ian on his belly.
"I think we should try something, you and me."
Ian sat down on top of Evan's belly.
Evan put one hand over his chest, looked at Ian and spoke:
"E.V.A.N..."
-
Framk walked up to a mechanic who said "Ah general the plane is finished'. "Good,' frank said. "Want to see it,' the mechanic said. "Yes,' frank replied. The mechanic turned a light on and revealed a jet black plane with swept back wings ,the tail fins of a F-22 and the size of a F-4 Phantom 2. "Impressive,' frank commented. "That just he disign,' the mechanic said. Wanna check the weapon system,' he asked ' "Oh yeah,' frank said. Frank got in the cockpit and lokked at the planes controls. "The mechanic continued "This puppy can reach hypersonic speeds,it has four 20mm cannons.and if you press that button there a laser cannon.' the mechanin said. "Very impressive,' frank said. "Come on kid let's get some sleep,' frank said. "Yeah and sir,' the mechanic said. "Yes,' frank asked "Just call me by my given name,' the mechanic said. "Sure thing eric,' frank said before walking back to the underground. As they walked off a slight gilmpse of the plane was given to the DIG operative "What is that,' he asked big boss.
-
"It seem they used some of Rainbow Face technology on the plane, it undetectable by normal radio, do not worry my beauty has technology that can detect a atom of a supernova before it happens" Big Boss chuckled. "Try to find out more on this plane"
-
Grandpa Longneck smiled as he said "Yes, of course Littlefoot. Now let's go before your grandmother starts to worry." He turned around and called back "Good night Mr. Thicknose. Have a pleasant sleep tonight, You too Cyrix."
Cyrix nodded and replied "Good night to you too." He turned to face the female rainbow face and said "Yes I did find it...or more to the point...her."
Longtail who was still being held by his uncle looked confused and asked "What are you talking about?"
-
"Sure thing,' the agent replied before cutting the transponder.
-
"We should go too before our mommy starts to get worried, or thinks we have gone off on another adventure." Ducky said, "Goodnight everyone." She says waving, Spike says something in his special way before walking off with Ducky towards their sleeping place.
"Goodnight Littlefoot, Mr. Longneck, Ducky, Spike." Mr. Thicknose said.
-
Female Rainbow Face just crossed her arms "Then you should of took the stars" she said in a sarcastic tone.
as many already left for the nests
-
Cyrix raised an eyebrow and asked the female rainbow face "It's been awhile, do have to always be so sarcastic?"
Longtail who was still highly confused only asked again "What are you two talking about?"
-
"Did you know that Elmston? had a son,' the male rainbow face asked cyrix.
-
"Indeed he did, he and one other was unfrozen from the sleep sooner then anyone else and Elm had a son with a human and by next week his full rainbow face appearance will show" Female Rainbow Face look to the male one then back at Cyrix "When it comes to you staying behind at the last second all that time back yes... Love of mine.... Cyrix"
-
The first noticeable thing is Cyrix's eyes go wide, then his face pales and he then drops Longtail who lands with a thud. Cyrix took a step back and said stuttering "Y-you mean....that...w-we..." He shook his head and replied "Y-you must be...joking right? I mean..." Cyrix the sighed and he blushed as he asked "Why didn't I know about this, all this time?"
Longtail who for his part was recovering from his fall, looked at his uncle and the two rainbow faces and asked the female "Okay, now my uncle is stammering what is so important that would make him do that?"
-
"I did not know that others could have children with others not of their own kind. Though maybe one of his devices made it possible." Mr. Thicknose said. He then turned to Cyrix, "Who is this her that you spoke of earlier & is there something that the 2 of you need to discuss, maybe in privacy?" He asked.
-
frank came back to the green house and said to evan "I thought you would be asleep already'. He saw melissa waking up and he said to himself "Well I'd better get melissa something'.
-
"Frank, be silent for a few seconds..." Evan said and help up a hand.
He smiled, and looked straight into Ian's eyes.
"We both know you can do it, boy! C'mon now!"
Once again he laid his hand over his chest.
"Evan."
-
"As always you let your mind wonder after that last night together" she put her hands on her hips "how could you forget when you told me those words..." Female Rainbow said with annoyance "If by the impossible we meet again my love, we will see it as a omon of good faith and share a life together" she told the words "does that click a electron of yours?"
-
"Sounds like you need to talk things over privately. I"ll just leave." Mr. Thicknose said quietly and walked away. He walked in the direction of where he had decided to sleep the last few nights. Never having had a mate nor children he didn't have a set sleeping place but slept where ever he felt like it or a spot that attracted him, moving from time to time, or sometimes going to sleep where ever he was at the moment. He then heard a voice above him.
"ah, youngster. Still kicking around I see." The voice said as the individual landed in front of him. A forest green flyer. One of the few individuals older them himself.
"I could say the same about you." Mr. Thicknose said in a joking manner.
"oh yea. I'm still winging around. I was visiting a friend for a while who lives nearby in what you folks call the mysterious beyond I think and decided why not wing on over here and visit the great valley for a while."
"Glad to have you visit. Seen anything new?" Mr. Thicknose asked.
"Oh many things. I'd have looked you up before. but I was over at the mud pools. Very soothing. Seems I slept part of the day without meaning to." The old flyer said laughing a bit.
"They'll do that to you sometimes if you're not careful." Mr. Thicknose said.
- - - -
"There you 2 are. I thought maybe you had gone of on an adventure again, I certainly did." Diver said who had been sitting at their nest waiting a while before going to sleep.
"I was starting to get worried." Their mother said. Their other sibblings were already asleep in a pile in their usual place.
"We were exploring some caves and lost track of time, we did, we did." Ducky said. She remembered how Littlefoot's lie had made things very bad, especially for the Tinysauruces so decided to not lie but to telling part of the truth wasn't a lie, if one left out certain parts of the truth, Ducky decided. Spike nodded, deciding to play along with Ducky's idea, and they were not lieing, he thought.
"Sorry Mommy." Ducky said.
"At least you 2 are here and safe that is the key thing." She said.
"You 2 didn't get lost did you Spike?" Diver asked Spike in a joking manner." Spike laughed a bit and shook his head.
-
Cyrix took a deep breath, picked Longtail up and held him firmly in his hands, and before the child could raise a question Cyrix kniocked his head against Longtails...several times as a matter of fact, and then placed his nephew on the ground and shook his head to clear the stars that danced in his vision.
He then spoke up and said with a chuckle, "Now it comes back to me!" He blushed as he took a step forward and said "So, it seems our...omen has come to pass, hasn't it....my love."
Longtail was still dizzy from being hit on the head from his uncle and just sat on the ground trying to make his head hurt go away.
-
"well I think your kid Longtail seeing stars now" Female Rainbow Face said to him "Are you alright Longtail?"
-
Frank watched evan 'I can just tell he's trying to get ian to speak,' he thought to himself.
-
Longtail shook his head several times to clear the stars, and the nodded to the female rainbow face "Yes...I'll be fine. Just give me one moment." He then stood up and smiled as he asked "So, you know my uncle huh...does that make you family too?"
Longtail then turned to look at Cyrix and asked "What did you mean when you said you found her?"
Cyrix at that moment gave a nervous grin and said "Well, it turns out I came across a herd of flyers in the Mysterious Beyond. And one of the children just happened to...well..." He stopped mid sentence and said "We will save that for another day nephew...it is getting very late, and you need your sleep."
Longtail groaned and said "But uncle...I'm not...*yawn* tired...okay...I'll see you back at the cave." Longtail then spread his wings and flapped over the tree tops towards Cyrixs' cave.
Cyrix smiled and then said to the female rainbow face "Now what?"
-
"I gather you noticed the change to the stars in the sky so I will put it short, we now 65 million years in the furture and this land mass is the only place with dinosaurs on it, else where in the world there are other creations one of those have evloved simliar to Rainbow Faces, a mammal speices called humans, they have grown into a culture that was torn like us at one point but now they joining into a union. Small group live in the Great Wall and on top of that the leader of that group is Elmster our Rainbow Face friend" Female Rainbow Face gave him the short version of events how they turned out.
-
Cyrix's face showed that he was impressed as he whistled and said "Well, it seems Elmster has been busy in my absence. And these humans as you called them, can they be trusted? I have no issues with meeting them, but sometimes looks can be deceptive." He then smiled and continued "Well, I suppose if you trust them...I'll have to as well."
-
"Well there are humans that are not so trusting but in the end there was those Rainbow Faces that wasn't at times. But I believe the ones that live in the complex can be trusted." she replied to him "So what the story with Longtail?"
-
"Well before I left, Longtail said he was depressed about being the only of his entire family to escape his home island alive, so I set out to see if I could find someone who would've lived on the island with him or his family. And indeed my search was successful." said Cyrix with a bright smile
Then a question occurred to Cyrix as he asked "Where have you and the others been, I know I chose to stay behind, but you could've visited every once in a while."
-
"I do not know about the others on own new homeworld, we don't even have a clue where the location of it now. It been 65 million years, all sorts of strange and unspected things could of happened the shift the stars. As for visiting we came by the valley once well twice before the freeze sleep. We was given orders to see how dinosaurs other then us lived that was it. No looking for loved ones or others of our kind that choice to stay behind." she turn to the sky seeing the stars "you know me, I always follow orders to the book"
-
"Yes you do,' the male rainbow face said remembering the first time they were there.
-
"Following the rules is an understatement for you my dear...sometimes I swear you wrote the rules yourself, and then decided to make them customary to all of us." said Cyrix with a chuckle. he then turned and said "Now you two are more than welcome to sleep with Longtail and I in our cave tonight."
Cyrix then looked to the sky and the stars above as he sighed and said "Even though they are changing...it is still quite beautiful to look at."
-
"I think we be alright with that if Longtail Don't mind of course." she said to Cyrix
-
Cyrix smiled and replied "Of course not...Longtail loves company. Plus it'll give him a reason to stay IN the cave tonight."
-
"then shall we go?" female Rainbow Face said with a smile
-
"Yes, of course. We should pick up the pace though...if we make Longtail wait too long, he's likely to start scratching at the walls. And if that happens, well, lets just say that we may not have a place to sleep." said Cyrix with a nod of his head as he turned and started walking.
-
They head off to the caves
---
Elm stood in the Opersation tower looking out to the Great Valley as night time sets in "Another peaceful night" he smiled
-
Mr. Thicknose and the older flyer talk about various idle talk things, Mr Thicknose telling some recent news of the Great Valley, the Flyer some of the things he's seen since the last time they talked. They talked about this and that, various things till later when they both started to get tired and both decided to sleep where they were. And both lay down and went to sleep.
-
Grandpa Longneck was sitting awake just looking at the stars in the sky. He shed a tear as he noticed a star brighter than the rest and he whispered "My daugher...I do miss you. But I know that you watch over Littlefoot everyday, and I hope we get to see again soon."
He then laid his head down and quickly fell to sleep.
_____________
It had taken a while to reach the cave, but once Cyrix finally found his way there he gave a sigh of relief to see that Longtail was still inside, and sound asleep. He then turned and nodded to the other rainbow faces and quietly led them inside.
-
Big Boss stood in the dark of the large hanger with a grin "It time for the reuion of Littlefoot and mother, thanks to finding her remains the regeneration process was a complete sccessful move, now she will be brought back to him tonight." Big Boss turn the lights on then turn to the large Longneck "Soon my friend you will see your child again, let him know of what we plan to do to the human race so my dear older brother Elmster know of it" he chuckled.
"Sir lifting choppers will be ready in the hour" a man reported with a salute
"Very well, do not worry about their radars, the stength systems built in on the choppers will hide the sound and sight of the Choppers including our large gift to the child Littlefoot" Big Boss chuckled again.
the man nods and goes off back to the large choppers about 3 times the size of a normal set of choppers. He turn back to the large longneck "Now I know your awake for all this time, being restrained was for all good reason. At least I choice to not have you killed, you should be greatful that you get a second chance in life to be with your son. All because of me" Big Boss saw the eyes snap open at him "Now what do you say to that?"
-------
Female Rainbow Face takes a sport near the cave entrance lying down getting settled for the night. "Nice shettled cave you found. Cyrix" she whispered to him
-
"Sir the virus for franks plane is complete,' sam said over a raido to big boss.
----
Frank gave melissa some ferns and after she ate them she fell back asleep.
-
"Very well and I hope Ice isn't giving you much of a hard time." Big Boss said back over the radio looking over to the large longneck as he spoke "Keep up the good work" he turns the radio off "now are you going to say anything or should I take your slience as not liking to be chained down" Big boss said calmly.
-
(I could take the role of littlefoots mother if that alright with everyone)
"I almost forgot I was gonna talk to elm about something I'll be back,' frank said to evan before going to find elm.
-
(sure no problem)
Elm stood calmly in the obversation level looking out to the Great Valley still as Frank goes looking for him.
-
"Well if there are any more of you kind where I'm going I hope they're more nicer than you,' littlefoot's mother said to bigboss.
-
"you should be more greatful that your alive and going to see your son again. If I wasn't nice I would of left you as a big pile of bones" Big Boss said with crossed arms "Well it doesn't matter, soon you will be back home. the choppers are almost ready, one thing I do advice don't swing your weight while in the air. your going to the Great Valley and I am a Rainbow Face of my word. So be safe alright, I don't want your son to lose you again" Big Boss turns away sighing a little with a tear falling on the ground feeling the pain of losing all of his family not too long ago.
"sir we ready"
"put the hooks on the chains and get ready for lift off" Big Boss smiled turning to her "It been a pleasure, time for you to fly" the choppers start to rise as the hanger ceiling opens up with hooks placed on the chains slowly starting to lift her into the air "Just don't let anything happen to your family... please..." Big Boss whispers to himself she just hearing that tone of pain and sadiness in his voice as the choppers lift up high into the air with her also very high up then they head off to the Main Land heading right for the Great Valley. "I always keep my promise" Big Boss said with a smirk
-
"Alright let's going,' the pilot of the lead helicopter said over the other pilots.
-
"Evan..." Evan said once again to Ian, who was tipping his head over with more curiosity.
Evan knew he was trying, that he really wanted to learn.
"C'mon, boy. Show daddy that you are the smartest little fellow around here!"
Evan encouraged.
......
Evan sighed.
"Well, well..."
He picked Ian up and placed him on his belly.
"Evan!"
Evan felt a jolt run trough his body.
He looked at Ian, who seemed very satishfied.
"One more time..." Evan whispered.
"Evan!" Ian said happily with a babish, squicking voice, and waged his tail in happiness.
"Good boy! I knew you could do it!" Evan almost yelled out with joy, as he lifted Ian up in the air and smiled brightly at him. "Who's my smart boy?"
"Hey, Frank! Get over here! Ian can spoke! He spoke!" Evan called, hoping that Frank could hear him, wherever he had gone.
---------------------------
Ruby had reached the caves. She threw a goodnight at Chomper before falling into sleep almost instantly.
-
"Goodnight." Chomper said before he went to his own cave to go to sleep, yawning a few times as he walked over to his cave..
Cera arrived at their sleeping area. She yawned a bit then headed over to sleep next to Tricia. "Goodnight Daddy." Cera said so she would not wake up anyone who was sleeping, before she lay down to try to go to sleep.
-
Frank finally found elm looking over the valley. "ah there you are I've been looking all over for you,' frank said.
-
"Yes Frank? what can I do for you this evening?" Elm said turning around to Frank.
----
Choppers was half way and crossing over the mainland and since they was heavy load choppers they only had cloaking systems no weapons as the carried the large dinosaur over towards the Great Valley.
-
"I was wanting to tell you something earlier but I decided to wiat,' frank said.
-
"Very well go ahead Frank" Elm sat down on the chair.
-
"Well back in 86 I was contacted but a old friend in the US military, they had found something with help from the UK it was whatone could call a space ship of non earth origins,' frank said. "I was able to take a single picture before I was escourted out by security teams,' he continued showing elm the photo. "That's how I was able to design the new plane in the back of the hanger,' frank said.
-
Elm cross his arms "lvl 10 lock" he spoke and the doors and windows sealed up and all commucation locked down "Alright Frank there is, but when the US and UK was crippiled Big Boss took action and stole the spaceship. It has no weapon systems on it, it was a Terraforming Ship, it was in the process of heading to what is called Mars to Terraform it into a world, but a meteor hit while in flight and crashed in the oceans of Earth just before the meteor that killed off most of the dinosaurs hit, using a shielding technology it kept hidden till US and UK dive teams found it, they didn't know what to do with it and moved it to a island which they hollowed out and hid right under it the same island DIG is on, that ship can release the gas form of the DCURE all over the world less then one day." Elm told him about the Terrafroming Ship that the Rainbow Faces created.
"But I have a plan to stop it if all else fails" Elm took out of his pocket a silver sphere "the final opition would mean using this" Elm puts it away "when saturday comes I am taking your old jet, while you take your new one when the ship is surfaced, I just hope I can find a way to disburst that gas before I have to use it as a last opition"
-
"So do I,' frank said.
-
Elm spoke out and the door unlocks to the lift and the windows open back up "It just a nice evening... peaceful and..." Elm suddenly saw something coming over the Great Wall but it was a shimmer of something "that strange. Frank did you see that shimmer?" Elm asked.
-
"Yeah I saw it,' frank said.
-----
"Were we spotted,' the lead helo pilot said to himself.
-
"Proceed with the mission" Big Boss said back through the radio.
The choppers reach the ground and let go of the load and then taking off into the sky fast heading away from the Great Valley Littlefoot's mother lying there with no chains on her now.
----
"Looks like Big Boss just drop something off but it looks like a large dinosaur" Elm said then turn to Frank "I think it time for you to first time to take your full form, use this device it will temporally allow you to take the form" Elm gave it to Frank "I think it time we take a walk in the Great Valley and you know I am your father so why do you keep calling me by my name still?" Elm said with a smile then pause asking why Frank keep calling him by his first name "I believe I know it because of everyone else here shouldn't know right?" Elm questioned again.
-
"Yes that's the reason dad,' frank said.
-
"Very well, ready to take a walk in the Great Valley?" Elm toss the device to Frank with a smile walking over to he lift turning around to him.
-
"Yes I am dad,' frank said
-
They go down to the level to leave the complex and come to the hatch "Put it on and turn the device on" Elm press his and turning it off he changed back into his real form then push the keys on the pad to unlock the hatch.
---
Littlefoot had worken up to a strange buzzing noise that seem faint and now looking around the valley to see where it came from not wondering too far from the nest "Wonder what that weird sound was?"
-
Evan had continued to practsie with Ian, when frank was nowhere in reach.
Ian had no problem learning simple words, such as "daddy" and his own name.
He had also learned easy commands, such as returning to Evan when he called for him.
Now they where entertaining eachother with some rock tossing, or atleast Ian, who got the joy to collect the rocks that Evan thrown from his lying position.
Meanwhile, Evan had found his journal in his rucksack.
He leaned back against the rock and started to write a bit.
He feelt relaxed about it, it put his mind to think about something else for a while.
-
Frank pressed his and turned it on. "Alright let's see who was just dropped off now,' he said.
-
Ducky woke up and heard a buzzing. She looked around to see if any stinking buzzers were nearby, but then she noticed it sounded different. She tried to wake up Spike, finally doing so, at least enough to get him to open his eyes.
"I hear something, I did. We should go and see. The grownups would get mad if we woke them up and it was nothing, so come on Spike, let us go and see." Ducky said pulling on Spike and pointing in the direction. He looked in the direction and nodded, he heard something before it stopped.
Spike yawned and slowly got up. Ducky climbed on him and they set off. Spike headed towards Cera's nest, thinking it may be safer for 3 instead of 2 to investigate. "Good idea Spike, we'll be safer with Cera with us." Ducky said quietly to not wake the others up.
Once they got close Ducky climbed off, leaving Spike a short distance away since she was smaller. She snuck up to where Cera was, avoiding Tricia and the grownups. She called out to Cera softly & quietly.
Cera opened her eyes and looked at Ducky, "What is it?" She asked whispering annoyed at having been woken up. Ducky motioned over where she had left Spike not wanting to take a chance and wake up the others. Once they had both had gotten to where Spike was, who had decided to eat since he was awake Cera turned to look at Ducky.
"This had better be good." Cera asked still whispering.
"I heard a buzzing type sound, I did, I did. I thought we should look and see what it is."
"Why don't we just tell the grownups and let them look at what it is, it IS part of their job." Cera said.
"But what if it is nothing, they would be mad at us waking them up for no reason, they would, they would." Ducky said looking concerned.
"Fine, whatever, lets just have a quick look then back to sleep in our OWN sleeping places." Cera said.
"Thank you." Ducky said hugging one of Cera's legs then ran over to climb back on Spike and they set off jogging over to where the sound had come from.
-
The hatch opens and they leave going to the location they last saw the drop off from the obversation deck "How does it feel being a Rainbow Face Frank?" Elm asked as they walked.
----
Littlefoot was still looking around then saw Cera, Ducky and Spike "Hey guys you heard it too?" Littlefoot asked coming up to them "that weird buzzing sound"
-
"Some of us did and woke the others up." Cera said looking at Ducky.
"I did, yep, yep, yep. Spike heard it too when I woke him up, didn't you Spike?" Ducky asked looking at Spike who nodded and made an affirmative sound. "Then I went to wake up Cera so we could see what it was, I did, I did." Ducky said nodding.
-
Littlefoot looked around "I wonder what it was, I heard the sound coming from Two Boulder Pass near that place that leads to the Mysterious Beyond that holds all that water in it" Littlefoot said to them getting a rough idea of where he heard it.
-
"It feels good,' frank said. "At least I don't have to deal with cracking bones,' frank said jokenly.
-
"Deal with Cracking bones?" Elm frowns a little not getting is as a joke rather confused by that very comment.
-
"Well we won't find out standing around here." Cera said looking a little annoyed.
"Do you want to go and have a look LIttlefoot?" Ducky asked looking at Littlefoot curious to hear his opinion and what he wished to do..
-
Littlefoot turn to the pass "I think having a quick look wouldn't hurt" Littlefoot said and start walking up to the pass making his mind up knowing the others would join.
-
"Since we're all already awake we may as well." Cera said in an annoyed voice before she set off walking behind Littlefoot & with Spike walking along beside her with Ducky riding.
-
At the same time Elm and Frank head up to the same place at another route. Littlefoot sees something ahead something big as they got up to the pass seeing a Longneck "Hey I see something it looks lik..." Littlefoot froze in a heart beat when he saw the face of the sleeping longneck.
Elm and Frank arrives from the other path seeing Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky and Spike but then they saw the large sleeping longneck then see Littlefoot open up with no moment something had very spooked him massively. "Littlefoot and the others are here but what made Littlefoot look so speechless?" Elm whispers to Frank hinting him to stay down for a second and out of sight of them.
-
"It can't be her." Cera said whispering, who had seen Littlefoot's mother before.
"Who her?" Ducky asked curious.
"She looks exactly like, "Cera said still whispering pausing, "Like Littlefoot's mother."
Ducky & Spike stared speechless, not having seen her but having heard of what had happened to her.
-
"So big boss must have found a way to bring littlefoots mom back,' frank wispered to elm.
-
Longtail who had waken up, from a sound like a herd of flyers overhead had decided to go for a quick fly around the valley, but landed in a tree when he noticed Cera, Littlefoot and Ducky. Not wanting to startle them...he stayed in the tree as he wondered what it was they were all looking at.
-
Littlefoot shook his head then blinked "It can't be her, that big old sharptooth badly hurt her and she died before me later that stormy night..." Littlefoot said with shock walking closey to her then eyes widen "I-i-it----- it's--- h-he---her---her---my--m-moth---mother... Al-al-a-alive." Littlefoot seeing no injuries not so ever on her seeing she was well and sleeping.
---
"With Dinosaur DNA the smallest you can with the right tools and Big Boss most of found those tools" Elm whispered to Frank. "He lost his whole family and finding out about Littlefoot's own past must of made him think about his own and brought her back to life to be there for Littlefoot. Big Boss isn't all bad there a side to him you haven't seen that I seen Frank" Elm finished whispering and look on to see what happen next.
-
"Yeah and maybe there is hope to negoiate with him,' frank wispered back.
-
Longtail had heard of what happened to Littlefoots mother, and that was something that they had in common..but seeing this...brought a tear to the young flyers eyes. First of joy, then of anger and jealously. He didn't want to feel this way towards a friend, but Littlefoot had his mother now, and Longtail just sighed and stayed in the tree hoping not to be seen crying.
-
"How could she be back if the mean ol' sharptooth..." Ducky said unable to say the words herself.
"Why don't you go up and ask her something only the 2 of you would know." Cera said, a bit suspitious of the whole thing and not believing it was Littlefoot's Mother.
"I hope the mean ol' sharptooth isn't back as well, I do, I do." Ducky said nodding and afraid of even remembering him.
"I doubt that, he's in a completely different place, but even if he is we could beat him again, we did once before." Cera said with a smile and look in her eye remembering the victory they had over the sharptooth.
-
Littlefoot turn to Cera "ok"
he slowly went up to her "Mother?" he spoke up he jumped back a little seeing the eyes open "are you... real... please... tell me what you said before you... you... died before my eyes" Littlefoot swallowed hard with that question
-
"Littlefoot do you remember the way to the great valley I'll be with you even though you can't see me Littlefoot let your heart guide you it wispers so listen closley,' the she said. "It was a rainbow face named big boss,' littlefoot's mom said. "He brought me back to life and brought me back here,' she continued.
-
"Mother!" Littlefoot yelled with happiness and hugs her snout with his front feet with his head against it too "I heard of Big Boss but I am happy your back" he said with tears
Mr Threehorn was hearing all the sounds from the distance and came up seeing Cera "Cera, kids what are you doing up so late? your parients will be worried and your grandparients as well Littlefoot." then he pause seeing who it couldn't be "Im-po-po-posible..." Mr Threehorn then just fell over on his side fainting in shock.
Littlefoot turn around to hear Mr Threehorn then saw him just faint then look to Cera "Cera did your dad just..." he wasn't sure to finish off what he was saying.
-
"How did you hear of big boss it sounds like you've heard stories of him,' littlefoots mom said.
-
Longtail was still watching everything from his hiding place in the tree above Littlefoot and Cera, but he just couldn't resist laughing out loud as he watched Cera's dad fainting...and he knew Cera was going to give him alot of trouble and most likely yell at him until the Bright Circle rose, but that moment was just too funny for the young flyer to pass up and as he laughed he fell out of the tree, and landed on his belly still laughing aloud.
-
Littlefoot saw Longtail laughing and saw the look on Cera's face he turn to his mother "Well..."
"He knows it from me" Elm came up to them "I am Elm and I know the Big Boss since his been causing trouble for the people which called humans live in the Great Wall and keeping out of sight of dinosaurs because what humans can do are wouldn't be very understanding to most dinosaurs and they rather destory them and the home then try to be friends with them because of the greater different life styles. Also you most likely seen humans so the ones that live in the Great Wall of the Great Valley are the good type." Elm finished explaining the short version.
"Yeah and Elm has a cool little thing that make me look even human, they showed us the underground valley it was warm and bright and amazing, lots of plants grow there." Littlefoot beamed.
-
"And I am his son frank,' frank said stepping out from the bushes. "I was born a human but my rainbow face features started with the appearence of a rainbowface tail and I will fully be a rainbow face next week,' he continued. "I'm using one of the devices that your son explained to make me look like a rainbow face,' frank said.
---------
"Well it's nice to meet both of you,' littlefoots mom said.
-
"Wonders will never cease." Cera said to Littlefoot about his unfinished comment on her father fainting and not sure how to respond to it herself, "Maybe he stood up to fast when he came over here." She said. She then heard the laughing in the trees and guessed who it was, looking over in the direction of the voice with one of her angry looks.
Ducky got off of Spike and walked over to Littlefoot, " Littlefoot maybe your grandparents should be told, they may like to be here too, they may." Ducky said then turned towards Littlefoot's mother and waived a bit shyly, "Hello." She said. Spike said hello in his own way, looking happy up at her while smiling.
Ducky hugged one of Spike's legs and Spike licked her, "I am Ducky Mam." Ducky said getting over her shyness, "This is Spike, he is my little brother. He doesn't speak."
-
Longtail stopped laughing and stood up, after that he bowed before Littlefoots mother and said "Hello ma'am my name is Longtail, I'm one of Litttlefoots friend and I am pleased to meet you." He then turned to Cera and said "I'm sorry Cera, I didn't mean to make you mad, but I have to admit...that was kinda funny!" He turned to face Topsy and said "I do hope you don't tell on me...your father scares me."
-
"It's nice to meet you all,' littlefoots mom said. "It's good to have friends isn't it,' she said.
"Yeah it is good,' frank said.
-
Mr Threehorn slowly recovers and shakes his head "I must be imagaing things..." then he loooks "maybe not..." Mr Threehorn blinked a few times
Littlefoot smiled "Yeah but I think we should try and do it slowly not suddenly it could scare Grandma and Grandpa since they know what happened to mother before..." Littlefoot said to them
"Indeed" Elm replied "A sudden shock would be dangours to their healths if rushed into. so take it slow and easy" Elm stats to them "tell them there something shocking to see that be unbelievable and explain that don't get to shocked and try to brace for it" Elm explained.
-
"That would be a good idea,' frank said.
"Yes it would,' littlefoots mom said.
-
"Boy won't Bron be surprised when he comes to visit." Cera said.
Ducky nods, "Maybe you can prepare then. Tell them you have good news you want to show them, or something good you want to show them but that they may find very shocking. Or tell just 1 of them, then the 2 of you can tell the other." Ducky said, looking at Littlefoot then the rainbowfaces and Littlefoot's mother.
-
Longtail smiled at the idea as he replied "Yeah, I'll bet that idea just might work! Good thinking Littlefoot, I couldn't have done it any better myself." He then walked over closer to Littlefoots mother and asked shyly "Ummm...ma'am I know this may sound...silly coming from a hatchling, but...did you happen to see my mother...ya know....up there in the sky, where ever it is we go when we...die?"
-
Elm looked at Longtail then remember something thinking about it "You know I seen larger types of your kind before, when they was in the freezing sleep Longtail, before Big Boss showed his true reasons we was looking for the two Rainbow Faces but then we saw the meteor falling so I acted quick and put us in the same frozen sleep, but I am sure I seen others of your kind before Longtail, but they could be anywhere now in the 300 miles of land that around the Great Valley" Elm said to him hoping this information was some sort of help to Longtail.
"Also when pulled back from the afterlife as some call it usually only remember a very weird experience that they can't describe. In most cases they can't tell what they saw. But that from people that been near death never one that been gone so long." Elm said then wasn't so sure of one being gone for so long though
Littlefoot turn to Cera "Dad would be very surprised but I think he be very happy as well. "I wonder how Shorty would react to that as well"
-
"Yeah I've had a near death experience myself once,' frank said.
"What did your mother look like,' littlefoots mom asked longtail.
-
"and you still wonder who draged you out of that crash and saved your life" Elm turn with a smirk
-
"I believe thanks are in order dad,' frank said smiling.
-
"your welcome." Elm said then turn to the others.
-
"I think he would be happy, I do, I do. Maybe your mother can addopteded him like your dad did." Ducky said. Spike nodded liking the idea.
"Lets hope your dad doesn't doesn't faint or it may cause a minor earthshake." Cera said.
-
"I tell you I had more respect for resque teams after that day,' frank said. "I would like to hear the story some day,' littlefoots mom said.
-
At hearing Elm's information Longtail beamed like a star. But then he also heard Littlefoots' mothers question and that brought him back down for a moment. He then took a deep breath and said "She was about as tall as Prof. Elm, but her scales were white, and she had a purple crest on her head like mine, and purple wings, but the one thing I remember most about her are her eyes....they were the same color as sky water clouds, but they showed so much love and care."
He then turned to Elm and asked "Thank you for your help, I'm still not sure if I should go looking outside the valley for a small herd of flyers that could be anywhere...but I wanna try? Will you help me?"
-
"Maybe he has a device he can use to find them. You may find that you have some cousins or aunts & uncles among them, you may." Ducky said to Longtail.
"It's certainly possible." Cera said, not sure what else to say. Spike nodded thinking it was certainly possible and would be a good thing to happen.
-
Elm thought about it "Well it could be possible I do still have some of my own technology and with a little blood I can do a Bio scan pulse that could detect where abouts there is another of simliar DNA which is similar in many ways." Elm said to them "Or a scale or feather. Luckly i carry it with me." he used a device that showed a belt around over one arm going cross his front of the torso showing a bag then he takes out a circlar device
"that kind of little Elm" Littlefoot looked at it with wonder
"Size doesn't matter Littlefoot, it what is does that matter" Elm said holding it "all I do is put the blood, scale or feather in this slot" Elm points to it with a claw "then all I do is push this button then once a 1000 mile scan is complete which takes 10 seconds it will give a holo mapping of the location near to our location" Elm told them explaining how it works. "It was used in searching for small Rainbow Faces that lost there way in forests or mountains from their families on our world, usually it 99% effective" Elm said with a smile
"Sounds promising, you rainbow faces sure are stranger then I remember" Mr Threehorn said guessing it was all good news.
-
"Well you could say that we have that kind of effect on people I guess,' frank said to mr threehorn. "Shall we head back to the valley,' frank asked.
-
Longtail smiled again as he said "Then here....take this." He swiftly pulled a scale off his body and handed it to Prof. Elm, and said "I hope this really works...I'd like to know I'm not the very last of my kind around here."
-
"I hope you are not, I do. It is very lonely." Ducky said thinking of Guido, the only one of his kind then she looked at Elm, "Someday could you do that for Guido also? He's not seen another of his kind." She asked.
"Being the only one isn't a very fun thing, that is for sure." Cera said. Spike nodded to what Ducky and Cera said, not thinking it was very fun being the only one around. He was certainly glad he had friends as good as the ones he had, the family that he did and had spent some time with spiketails now and then.
-
Elm put the scale in the slot and close it pushing a few keys it lights up and fires a blue pulse upwards to the sky then a bright flash a faint ripple spreads out then a holo image appears above the device and Elm puts it down. It shows multiple blimps on the holo image past Threehorn Peak to a valley then zooms in showing a lash green valley full of trees with seven waterfalls and some mountains above with white tipped snow caps blueish in colour because of the image then showed a nest by the rocky walls of dinosaurs and others away from it at the falls looking like they having a drink of water all simliar looking to Longtail.
"From this read out this herd pack of flyers similar to the type of Longtail have a long listing blood relaction to him, if this readings are right which most likely is they live in this Valley we see in the image pulse about 109 miles away. that would take about a weeks walk to get there" Elm said then realised "wait a second we have a base near that location it our futherest complex. Alpha Complex, this is where they do water research on those very waterfalls, the base is in the rock face of that very waterfall, a train would take only a hour to get there through the underground tracks" Elm said looking at the very location of the map.
"Wow that cool, do you have contact with them?" Elm rubbed his head a little with that question from Littlefoot.
"Not really, the base only reports in once a week. there nothing really happening in their field of studies to report in daily. Plus I don't get along with their station commander... Rick and I tend to butt heads when come to theories and talks, we never got along." Elm said to them
Mr Threehorn smirked "It almost like rainbow faces and humans are more like us dinosaurs then I thought, you have tempers, feelings and well can't agree on something with at least someone" he laughed a little finding this a bit amusing.
-
"Still I get along with him,' frank said. "So I could hadle it,' he added.
"Yes sometimes not getting along with others can be a bad thing,' littlefoots mom said.
"sir I'm sending you some plans of the plane I uh had to use drastic measures to get them,' the other DIG agent said to big boss over the raido.
-
Big Boss stood in the main command bridge of the ship and activate the commucation audio system "Very well done... but how drastic?" he was pleased with the results but wanting to know how far the drastic measures was,
---
Elm sighed "I try if truth me told everytime but he just don't want to listen or accept a sorry from even me. I do not even understand why his keep on bad terms on me when I am trying to make mends to it. His a really confusing person" Elm said with some muttering.
-
"Maybe he is working with the bad rainbowface and that is why he does not like you, it could be." Ducky said.
"Or he may just be a not very nice person." Cera said thinking about Mr. Clubtail.
-
"It could also be because he lost his family and is balming you for it dad,' frank said.
"That could be it,' littlefoots mom said.
"I uh had to kill one of the mechanics working on the plane,' the other DIG agent said.
-
(OOC: I would really like to re-join this RP. However, I don't know what has been going on since I left. Can someone de-brief me via PM?)
-
"Professor, we could take a trip there in your place. We won't say that you sent us there. Would that work?" Vylor said, sending a message from the greenhouse from extensive study of the tree growth.
"Yeah, we could do it." Argaya added.
(OOC: Thanks f-22 for the de-briefing. I was wanting to get back into this RP.)
-
(Your welcome) Frank sighed and said "yep humans may have their differences but if we put them aside we can accive a better world'.
-
"Who should be the ones to go?" Ducky asked looking around.
"Yea and can you be sure he can be trusted and isn't working for the bad guys?" Cera asked, often one not to casually trust a stranger.
-
Longtail hadn't spoken for several minutes only because he was too excited to form a real sentence. He just stood there mouth agape and wide eyed as he thought of all the possibilities of having a real family. Then his excited face turned to one of confusion...as he thought about Cyrix. His face then brightened again as he finally found his voice and said "Should I go get Uncle Cyrix and tell him the good news?!" Longtail then began to jump up and down like a kid on a sugar high.
-
"You did what!?" Big boss yelled standing up then going to his pad on the arm "You disappoint me... I told you get it without killing anyone, you could of just hit him from behind and knocked him out, would of raised questions and alearts and I could of got you pulled out, but no you killed someone now your soul is no more, your now a baby Swimmer for life. But I will let you remember instend let you live the horrors of being what you are forever" Big boss finish typing in the codes and push the button activating it "Happy life idiot" then shuts the comm off.
----
"Yes it would Vylor" he said over the comm "Thank you and try and get information on visials of the dinosaurs living in the areas" Elm smiled a little.
-
The agent had just enough time to swear before screaming loud enough for the entire complex to hear and becoming a baby swimmer.
"What was that,' mitch asked out loud to a gourp of others playing poker with him."It was probbaly nothing,' a sicentist at the table said. "You gonna deal or what,' another asked mitch. "I'll go see who screamed I'll be back it sounded like it came from the hanger,' mitch said as he took the short walk to the hanger.
-
"I wonder how the little baby boy swimmer going to explain he was a person and a agent for me and now a baby dinosaur of life" Big Boss chuckled "I knew keeping his memiors intacted me more amusing then wiping it like the last two."
-
"When we arrive, we'll contact you. Should we say that you sent us or say that we were assigned there?" Argaya asked.
"By the way, the seed Startor gave us developed in a way we expected. We'll document and report when we return." Vylor said.
-
"Just say you was sent to have a check with the dinosaurs that live there by NEA itself, since I am the higher level here overall on the land at this time it is coming from NEA in sort of a way. Soon as you get the data send it to me right away, if he gives you a hard time just tell him you will be contacting NEA directly saying that your task was interfered with and he most likely will step down not wanting a report from them since he been given a command of a complex" Elm said to them over the radio explaining to them what they need to do.
(Just a note of warning, from this point there may not be anymore reply for over a week, I am going to LA for a week and most likely will not have internet access. So be warned that you might not hear from me till Sunday 24th later in the day in UK time around 9-10pm time or maybe Monday 25th time. Just a warning if I am gone for so long)
-
(ooc: Can the others hear the conversation between Elm and the others or did he walk off a bit or is it only him who can hear? )
"I think if Longtail eventaully goes maybe Cyrix should to since he is his uncle the trip may be easier on him and if they are relatives to Longtail and have questions maybe some only Cyrix may know the answer to, he may." Ducky said.
-
"That seems like a good idea,' frank said. Mitch reached the hanger and found the door open. "Why is this door open' he asked himself. as he walked in he found a young swimmer on the floor. "Great one broke in,' he said to himself. "I did not break in I was dcured but allowed to keep my memories,' the swimmer said. Mitch raidoed elm and said "Uh elm how's your sense of humor'.
-
"Frank, we're coming up to the hangar. We want to work on a DCURE cure when we get back. Your DNA might be useful." Argaya conveyed to Frank.
"Also, we still need a sample of the DCURE. Do we have some, Professor?" Vylor asked Professor Elm.
-
"Will do,' frank replied over the raido. "Well I'd better get there,' frank said. "See ya tomorrow,' frank said walking back to the entrance of the facility.
-
Frank reached the hanger and walked in. "so what did you mean by that last... frank stoped mid sentence and looked at the young swimmer sitting next to mitch. "One of the dio's we've been watching snuck in here,' mitch said. "I keep talling you I was dcured by big boss but allowed to keep my memories,' the swimmer said. "And I keep telling you that's impossible when you're dcured your memories are gone,' mitch said. "Not necessarly,' frank said. "He could have just really pissed big boss off it's possible he let him remember that he was human to drive him to insanity by remembering that he was human but is now no longer human,' frank said. The swimmer and mitch looked at frank and both said at the same time "Say that again'.
-
Longtail was jumping up and down again as he stated "I'm going to get Uncle Cyrix, everyone stay here...I'll be back in moment!" And with that said he flapped his wings bringing himself into the air and flew off back towards the cave Cyrix and the other rainbow faces were sleeping in.
Cyrix at that moment opened one eye and said to himself: 'I have a feeling my nephew has something good to tell me.'
-
"I wonder if Longtail and Cyrix will move there or if some of the other flyers there will move here." Ducky said knowing she'd miss Longtail if he moved but he'd be happy.
"We'll have to wait and see." Cera said matter of factly, though glad when a similar situation happened that Littlefoot had chosen to return to the Great Valley instead of joining his father's herd.
-
Longtail bounded into the cave and nuggded his Uncle awake. While whispering he said "Uncle Cyrix....I have great news! I may not be the last of family! Come on...you've gotta come with me and the others!"
Cyrix nodded his head and chuckled at his nephews eagerness. As he stood up, he accidently tapped the female rainbow face with his tail without knowing it as he and Longtail walked out of the cave. Cyrix just had to ask "What are you talking about nephew?"
"Its great Uncle...I may not be the only flyer who made it off my home island during the fire."
And Cyrix stopped in his tracks as he thought about it. 'Wait...other flyers like Longtail...his...real family...oh dear....this was something I was hoping to avoid.'
The duo continued walking until they returned where Elm and the others were standing.
-
"As you probbaly heard Vylor and Argaya are on there way here mitch,' frank said. "Yeah I heard,' mitch said. "Couls you explain what you meant by what you said,' the swimmer asked frank.
-
"Hey Frank! How's it going?" Vylor said as he walked into the hangar. Argaya followed him into the hangar.
"Well, we just wanted to talk for a little bit before we head off to the other complex." Argaya added to Vylor's comment.
-
"It going good Vylor,' frank said. I'd like you to meet my friend and wingman for many years mitch,' frank said. "Hey frank what's that thing on your arm,' mitch asked noting the device on frank arm. "You know the one that Professer elm has on his arm,' frank asked everyone in the room. "Well I learned earlier today that he's my father,' frank said. "Your father,' mitch asked. Yep you heard right and we're both rainbow faces,' frank said. He turned to the swimmer "So what is your name and what did you do to let big boss keep the memory of what you will were and what you are now,' frank asked. "He wanted the plans to your new plane I had to kill some one to get them I didn't mean to kill them I just asked for the plans but they came at me with a baseball bat it just all happened so quickly and my name is eric,' the swimmer said. "So I take it big boss doesn't want agents to kill any NEA people on your assingments here,' mitch asked. "He wants an absoult zero body,' the swimmer said. "Eric why didn't you tell me about this,' frank asked. "I wanted to so many times but I didn't know how you'd react,' erich said. "One of the higher ups in DIG threatened my family I had no choice,' eric said.
-
Ducky waved to Cyrix, "I guess Longtial told you the good news. He may have cousins, aunts or uncles, or maybe all of them, yes he may." Ducky said nodding.
"You going to bring them all here?" Cera asked them both.
-
Longtail was so excited he couldn't stop jumping up and down. Cyrix walked up behind his nephew and said "Even if they are alive...I don't think we could bring them all here Cera." Longtail turned and said "Why not? I'm sure Littlefoots grandparents wouldn't mind having a few more flyers around here."
Cyrix scowled at his nephew's optimism. "I'm sorry Longtail, going to meet them will be fine, but we can't just leave the valley or bring them here." He looked over to Cera and Ducky and asked "Can you help Longtail here see I'm speaking the truth?"
-
"I probbaly know who it was in DIG who threated your family,' frank said. "Who,' eric asked. frank turned to mitch "Remember the 9248,' frank asked. "You mean DIG hired them,' mitch asked "That is correct,' frank said.
-
"Still the question is why were you able to talk almost immedietly after you became a baby swimmer,' mitch asked. "It must have been a mutation in the dcure capsul in my body,' eric said. "That's the most probable answer,' frank said.
-
"What if they want to remain where they are, or some want to come here and some want to stay?" Ducky asked. That could lead to a hard decision, she thought to herself.
"If they are living in a nice place they may not want to all move to a new place." Cera said.
Spike having gotten a bit bored walked a few steps to the nearest bush and started eating.
-
Frank turned to vlyor and agalya and said "What do you two think about it'.
-
"From our analysis, I think that this is a different form of DCURE. It was designed to keep the memories of the person intact, but change the body." Vylor said.
"The first form of it was only designed only to get rid of threats to DIG. However, this seems to be for other purposes." Argaya added.
-
"But what,' frank asked.
-
"Perhaps this version of dcure is just of their enjoyment,' mitch suggested. "That is just wrong,' eric said. "I agree,' frank said.
-
"Yes. It is most likely for their leader's enjoyment. To see someone in a new body, struggling, is just what the leader of DIG would consider 'fun.' This is wrong." Argaya said.
"I agree. But I wonder how he designed the DCURE, and if there is a cure?" Vylor wondered.
-
"It might also be the dcured person just really really pissed big boss off,' mitch said. "Still no matter the reason it's wrong and he may want to stop it,' frank said.
-
"Still I suggest we get eric here down to the green house,' frank said. "What do you think vlyor,' frank asked.
-
Elm heard about some wanting to use the DCURE sample he had then speak into the radio "The Pure Sample is very strong, if even the smallest was to touch you the change will be rapid and fast, you will retain your memiors but you will become a dinosaur for life no cure from the pure sample. I can touch it cause of what I am and what Frank is. Dinosaurs is unaffected by it but a human it highly affective." Elm explained to them.
----
Big Boss had listened in on the whole talk with Frank and the others including the one that he changed. "Sam..." he whispers then said a message to ICE 'Keep Sam Busy on projects anything' he typed.
----
Ice was working on her stuff when she saw the messege but only her eyes picked it up even if Sam was behind her he couldn't read it cause it was designed to be picked by her eyes only. Ice turn around to Sam who was working on the plane details still then she close the window down deleting it as well completely from the system then went over to Sam with a disc "Hey slow poke this is some the work I been doing for the last few months, Big Boss wanted you to check it over before I give him the final details on it. Once you finished with that first" Ice hand the disc over to him.
-
"Wiil do,' sam said before continuing the virus for the plane.
-
"So should we take eric to the greenhouse professer,' mitch asked.
-
"Yes that would be the best thing to do" Elm said to them over the comm. Then he look to the others "Best if I take my leave for now"
Littlefoot nod "Alright see ya" Littlefoot smiled and Elm leaves. Littlefoot look up at his mother feeling it was a dream came true.
-
Ducky waved, "Ok, be sure not to stay up to late. You need to sleep some time, you do." She said.
-
"It was very nice to meet you and your son too,' littlefoots mom said.
-
"Professor, should we get going now? Or should we prepare a little bit first?" Vylor asked Elm over the communicator.
"When can we take the train there?" Argaya asked as well.
-
Longtail was still jumping up and down as he replied "Bye...don't get lost!"
Cyrix looked over at his nephew and asked "You do realize that you are going to tire yourself out if we are to leave soon."
Longtails eyes widened even more as he said "Really? Can my friends come too?!"
-
Elm stops then turn around "Let my people just have a quick look and to see" Elm said then they leave.
"Vylor soon as you can be best, a train should be arriving in a few hours for the complex" Elm talked over the comm "Report in if you see any dinosaur that look like Longtail, the footage from the meeting should be in the database, whatever you see there don't tell to anyone else, I am putting a lot of trust to you two" Elm said to them both on the comm.
-
"That does seem to be better,' littlefoots mom said.

"so eric when we get down to the green house it may be better to just keep your mouth shut,' frank said. "Why,' eric said. "Well since I guess I'm gonna be taking care of you it might just be better,' mitch said. "Oh alright I will,' eric said. "Well let's get down there,' frank said as they walked to the green house entrennce.
-
"Don't worry Elm. You can count on us. We'll stay for a week, and when we're done, we will come back with all the data we have. Also, we'll transmit to you the data via a secure link, okay?" Argaya said confidently.
"That's right! We will also get that complex up-to-date on their research, if they aren't already there." Vylor added.
-
"so are there more than one dcured people here,' mitch asked. "Until we get to the greenhouse I can neither confirm nor deny,' frank replied.
-------
Sam finished the virus and sent a message to big boss "Sir virus complete moving on the check ice's work,' sam said.
-
"Good work Sam, this looks very very promising" Big Boss smiled and knew it would most likely be controled by Elm if they come in for the attack on the ship in a weeks time.
-
"What about your dad will he talk to us before we get to the greenhouse,' mitch asked. "Probbaly,' frank replied.
-
Elm got back to the Complex and reactive his device turning into the human form then goes to the lift to meet up with Frank and the others. "I wonder that Longtail's kind been living at that falls all this time" Elm thought to himself.
-
"so how's the promotion been going,' mitch asked. "Good,' frank replied.
-
Elm arrived at their location stepping out of the lift "He knows your coming but he isn't happy as usually..." Elm said to them "We haven't talken in years and he still has his back up on me..." Elm muttered a little. (forgot what I called the person at the other complex lol)
-
(It was Rick)
Frank Mitch and Eric had just gotton to the door of the hanger when Elm arrived. "Ah There you are professer,' mitch said. "We were thinking you'd meet us close to the green house dad,' frank said.
-
"We should have guessed that Rick wouldn't be too happy. We'll work around that, though." Vylor said.
"We should bring our laptop so that we could send you the data. Okay?" Argaya added.
-
"Very well, the train will be here in 2 hours time for the complex. Just try to work around his bad mood..." Elm said to them
-
"Gotcha." The two said in unison, then they walked to their rooms.
When they got there, they pulled out their suitcases and packed a week's worth of clothing, their laptops, and some other essentials.
-
"Did you want to talk to us now or later,' mitch asked from the door.
-
"Well since I heard of what happened to another ex-DIG agent might as well talk to him no matter how childish the voice might sound and what details his told you that I haven't heard of yet" Elm said to them.
-
"I was ordered to get the plans for the new plane by big boss,' eric said. "I tried to get them from derek but he grabbed a wrench and rushed toward so I shot him I I had no choice he was running toward me so I did what any person who was trying to defend themselves would do,' eric continued. "Yeah I know from personal experence what it like,' frank said remembering his time in the OSS.
-
Cyrix scooped Longtial up and helod him in his ahnds as eh said "Come now nephew...you and I are going to wait for a few bright circles and then we'll see if Prof. Elm has found any others like you...until then however you will need plenty of rest and leisure time. We are going to the hot springs now." Cyrix then turned to the rest of the group, and said "Do any of you want to come?"
-
"That sounds like fun, it does, it does." Ducky said. Spike nodded as well.
If the rest of you guys are going I guess I well as well." Cera said, attempting to hide the fact that she liked the hot springs and instead have a tone of voice that she was going only because everyone else was going.
-
"I see... well looks like your got a new life to live to now. But for now it best I take you Eric to the greenhouse so no one sees you as for what happened I will just tell the truth to the officals saying that a agent of DIG killed one of my men but just like the others his mind was wiped and left in a form of a baby dinosaur. 90% of it is true and what happened in the last 24 hours they most likely believe it" Elm said to Eric and the others. "That way you won't get into anymore trouble kid"
-
"Thank you professer,' eric said. "But would it be alright is mitch took me there,' eric asked. "I've got to get back there anyway to check on melissa,' frank said.
----------
"Why don't we get to a cave where I can sleep until morning when you tell your granparents that I'm back my son,' littlefoots mom said.
-
"Maybe somewhere near the secret caverns, then Chomper and Ruby could keep you company till the rest of your family and you can meet. It may get lonely at night all by yourself, it may." Ducky said. "Or you could stay where my family sleeps, I"m sure they would not mind. What is one more." Ducky said.
Cera looked at Ducky and the others, "If she goes there we'd have to explain about Chomper." Cera said. She thought about asking if Littlefoot's mother had seen her mother and or sisters but thought it better not to. That way she would not know if they were dead or alive but separated from her and her father by the big earthshake and living somewhere out there.
"Don't forget one of us will have to tell Bron and Shorty the next time they come to visit." Cera said.
-
Cyrix smiled and said "Well that would be a bit of a problem wouldn't it..." He then chuckled and commented "Well, what ever happens I'm sure they will be glad to see you ma'am."
Longtail smiled and said "I like Ducky's idea of Littlefoot's mom staying with Ruby and Chomper. Now can we get going...It's getting cold out here, and those hot springs are sounding really good right about now."
-
"Yeah that right about Chomper..." Littlefoot remembered about that. "Erm mother there something i need to explain before we go to the Secert Caverns."
----
"why don't you go with Frank and we will talk more later kid" Elm said to Eric.
-
"Ok,' eric said. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow eric,' mitch said.
-------
"What about chomper,' littlefoots mom said.
-
"His a Sharptooth that lives here in the Great Valley with Ruby, me and my friends kind of brought his egg back by mistake when some egg stealers too one of Ducky's families egg but some how it got back and we waited to see what it hatch into then we found out it was a sharptooth. We raised him for a very short time then his parents got in and soon they found him they all left. We met again at this strange island with strange green food on it. After meeting him there again we got off the island with some help from a swimming longneck called Elise." Littlefoot explaining to his mother about Chomper.
"His a friendly sharptooth and got the trust of everyone here in the Great Valley, even Mr Threehorn don't mind him. Ruby is a leaf eater that lives in the Mysterious Beyond but came here to see how the Great Valley dinosaurs live and to try and find a way to stop Red Claw this really mean sharptooth from causing trouble to all Mysterious Beyond Dinosaurs." Littlefoot finished explaining to his mother hoping she was understanding about Chomper.
-
"Well it's highly unusual but I think it's good,' littlefoots mom said.
-------
"Well let's get to the greenhouse eric,' frank said. "Yeah let's get there,' eric said.
-
Ducky nodded, "He is a nice sharptooth, he is, he is. We've played with him here, we have. Isn't that true Spike?" Ducky said first to Littlefoot's mother then turned to look at Spike who nodded at what Ducky said.
"Yea, he's ok, not like most sharpteeth." Cera said.
-
"It's good that so many different species are working here together,' littlefoots mom said. "I understand that we all have differences but if we set them aside we can achive marvolus things,' littlefoots mom said.
-
"I'll take you mother to there then get back to Grandpa and Grandma before they wonder where I am if they wake up." Littlefoot said to his mother.
-
Cyrix smiled at LIttlefoot's mother and replied, "It is amazing what we can do, it never surprises me. And that is a very wise idea Littlefoot. Best to have your grandparents think your're still asleep should they wake up...and if they do you can say you just went for a drink of water."
Cyrix then realized he was still holding a shivering Longtail and smiled as he said, "We will be sure to catch up again soon, right now I'd best be getting Longtail over to the hot springs before his tail falls off from the cold."
Longtail snorted and replied, "Ha ha very funny...uncle."
-
"Well eric this is the greenhouse now remember don't say anything for the time being,' frank said. "Yeah Yeah I know,' eric said. eric and frank walked through the door "Evan It's me frank I'm back,' frank called out to evan.
-
Ducky nods, "Maybe most of us should do that. We do not want our folks to worry." Ducky said.
"Yea, my dad'll just start yelling like usual." Cera said.
-
Evan came walking from around a corner.
"Hi Frank. You've been away for some time!" he said.
"Ian's sleeping. We've had some busy hours down here. You'll notice why when he wakes up again." Evan said with a smile.
"So, what have you been up to?"
-
"I was talking to my dad when we both noticed something over the valley it turned out to be a DIG heavy lift chopper,'frank said. "We both went to see what it was carrying it turned out to be littlefoots mother then mitch found eric here dcured so the professer thought it best to bring him down here,'frank continued.
-
"Oh... That's... Wait! I thought Littlefoot's mother was dead?"
Evan said and took of his glasses.
He saw Franks face, and realized it was nothing to speak of at the moment.
"...You'll have to tell me later..." he said.
Evan then noticed Eric.
"Another one, looks like I'll be running a daycare here."
"So, Eric's you're name? Evan smiled and tickled Eric under his cheek.
-
"Yeah that's his name alright and yes I will have to tell you later,' frank said. eric started to laugh.
-
"So I guess I'd better get some sleep since startor and I are giving the tour of the facility tomorrow,' frank said.
-
LIttlefoot and his mother departed from the others and arrived at the caverns "Ruby, Chomper? are guys in there?" He spoke in a quiet tone.
-
Chomper wakes up hearing the voice. He looks in the direction of the voice and gets up. He rubs his eyes and yawns as he walks in the direction of the entrance and where Littlefoot is. "Littlefoot? Is something wrong?" He asks as he walks out to where he is, yawning again.
-
"No nothing at all, this is my mother" Littlefoot said looking up at his mother then back at Chomper "Some how those others called DIG brought her back to life and brought her here. I was thinking that is it ok my mother stay around the serect caverns for tonight then try to explain to grandma and grandpa about mother" Littlefoot said to him.
-
Littlefoots mom lowered her neck and said to chomper 'hello".
-
Chomper smiled and waved, "Hello M'am. Sure you can stay here. It's nice to meet you." Chomper said glad to meet Littlefoot's mother. "You want to sleep outside or try to come inside? Ruby or I can sleep where you are if you'd like, unless you want to sleep alone." Chomper said happily. Then he looked at Littlefoot, "Won't your grandparents be happy when they get the news, and your dad and Shorty too. This is wonderful." He said smiling again.
-
"Yeah it will be, but it trying to tell them that the hardest part well from not trying to scare them so much that it could harm them. I guess I will figure a way to tell them to be prepared for the shock" LIttlefoot said thinking about it a little.
-
"I guess I'll try to come in the cave since it is cold out tonight,' littlefoots mom said.
-
Chomper nods, "Ok. There is plenty of room, and there is some flowing water a cave or 2 back if you are thirsty." He said. He recalled that location well. He had explored much of the caves and that one a great location to get water even without leaving the secret caverns.
-
"I better get back to the nest, see you tomorrow mother" Littlefoot smiled and said brightly
-
"see you tomorrow as well my son,' littlefoots mom said.
-
Just as Cyrix and Longtail reached the hot springs near their cave Cyrix noticed the other two rainbow faces already settled inside the warm and calming waters. He gave a smile as he stepped in as well and placed Longtail in the center letting him swim around for a while.
Cyrix then asked "So what have you two been doing while we were gone?"
-
Melissa woke up and looked at frank and ran over to him. "Looks like you noticed I was gone,' frank said.
-
littlefoots mom walked in the cave and settled down next to ruby "Goodnight,' she said to chomper and ruby.
-
"Just relaxing" the female rainbow face said to Longtail
Littlefoot heads back to the nest after saying his goodnights to his mother and Chomper.
-
"Yeah,' the male rainbow face said. "Yes I feel relaxed now,' he added.
-
"Goodnight." Chomper said and waved to Littlefoot. He headed into the cave and looked at Littlefoot's mother, "Sleep where ever you like, plenty of room." He said. He then headed into the cave where he usually slept in.
Ducky, Spike, & Cera walked along with Cyrix and Longtail to the hotsprings. Cera walked into the shallow area to relax and enjoy the warm water.
As Spike and Ducky drew near Ducky moved so she started to slide down Spike's back towards his tail and down his tail. Having done this before Spike knew what Ducky often liked to do, since he had done this at the main place where they and her other siblings often played. He turned so his side was facing the hotsprings and as Ducky neared the end of his tail he flicked it so Ducky went into the air over the hotsprings.
"Wheee." She said as she flew through the air. As she started down towards the Hotsprings, near the middle but away from where Longtail was Ducky lined herself up so she'd make as little of a splash as possible as she went into the water. She swam for a bit underwater then surfaced to float around the surface. Spike mean while went into the shallow area to enjoy the warm water as he settled down to relax near where Cera was which was a bit away from where the rainbow faces & Cyrix were since they had noticed at times grownups preferred to be together away from the kids.
-
"Professor, can you send a message to the other complex about our arrival? We don't want them questioning our arrival." Argaya asked.
"We are ready. The train should be arriving soon, right?" Vylor asked.
-
Frank got melissa some ferns and she yawned and soon fell asleep after as did eric. "So since they're all asleep we'd both better get some too,' frank said to evan.
-
"I couldn't said it better myself..." Evan said and yawned.
He layed down on his sleeping sack, and put his glasses aside.
Ian was sleeping next to him, in a pile of cloth.
"Goodnight Frank." Evan said, then placed his hands on his belly and closed his eyes.
-
"Goodnight evan,' frank said before laying down and placeing his hat down over his eyes and closing them.
-
"I already have sent the details to them in the other complex and the train should be arriving at any moment" Elm told them over the comm.
-
"Good. Oh, here it is. Next time you hear from us, we'll be at the other complex. So long!" Vylor said over the communicator.
"Again, we'll send reports often." Argaya said. With that, the two boarded the train bound to the other complex.
-
"Alright, I will be waiting on those reports. See you in a week" Elm ends the comm line and goes to his office to continue working on the sample of DCURE he had.
-
The male rainbow face stood up from the hot springs and said. "I guess I should get some sleep no good'.
-
"I will meet you at the place we sleeping for the night, I like to talk to Cyrix for a bit" Female Rainbow Face said to the male Rainbow Face.
-
Cera and Spike continued to soak in the water.
"Why rush off so soon?" Cera asked in her more relaxed voice.
Ducky continued to float in the warm water, "I have seen some go to sleep while soaking or floating here, I have, I have." Ducky said. Spike nodded having seen that too.
-
"I guess he just wants to get some rest" Female Rainbow Face said calmly to the kids
-
Frank was having the same nightmare again and began tossing and turning. In his dream he was flying his new plane and had sucessfully destroyed the ship when a burst of light came at him his wingman who had followed him and elm flew right at the beam destroying his plane "No!' frank shouted waking up panting. He took a look around "It was just a dream,' he said to himself. "It felt so real though,' he thought. He got some water and fell back asleep. What he did not know was tha Mitch had exaclty the same dream.
-
Cyrix laughed at Ducky's comment of seeing others fall asleep in these springs as he pointed to his nephew and said "well Ducky I think you can add Longtail to that list. It seems that the waters were a little too relaxing for Longtail to handle...but I suppose as long as his head is above the water he'll be fine."
Cyrix then turned to the female rainbow face and asked "So what did you want to talk about?"
-
Frank opened his eyes and sat up his mind was thinking back to earlier that day when he got the communication from Sam "why did his voice seem so familer,' he said to himself. "ah I need the sleep anyway I'll figure out where I remember his voice tomorrow,' he thought before falling back asleep.
-
"Well I was wondering how you found living here on this world when the rest of our kind left to the stars" She said with a bit of wonder
-
"Stars, what are those?" Cera asked.
"It could be the night lights. Remember when the male rainbowface was about to say what they really was but was interrupted? "Ducky said as she floated near to where Cera and Spike was and also was keeping an eye on Longtail to be sure he was doing ok. Spike nodded, he remembered that part pretty well.
"I remember that. It's just a bunch of nonesense anyway. I have to see it with my own eyes to believe it. " Cera said still relaxing into the water. Spike thought back to their other encounter with the rainbowfaces before. He had been curious what the male rainbowface was going to say those times before he was interrupted.
-
Cyrix smiled at the question and answered "Well...I gotta say, at first it was a little difficult. I had to learn their speech patterns perfectly so as not to talk in riddles and 'gibberish' as Mr. Threehorn would put it." He chuckled at a past memory and then continued.
"But after a while I got the hang of it all...but I did miss you...and the others quite a bit. How is our home doing?"
-
"Like I said I do not know since we been lost in contact with them for the time we been in the deep sleep" she told him "But before we left though the world was very well and the rainbow faces was fine, living in a peaceful way of life" she smiled then turn to Cera.
"Yes I know" she said looking to Cera "But it very much real as your world is"
-
"Not like here, where the grown ups seem to love to argue, leaving us to get done what needs to get done." Cera said a bit annoyed that her friends and her had to often get done what they could see needed getting done since the adults would rather argue.
"As for if these stars are real I'd have to see them." Cera said.
Ducky continued to float nearby, not sure what to say so she didn't say anything. Spike relaxed and lightly dozed as he got really relaxed.
-
Sam rubbed his eyes he contacted big boss "sir I've done the work would it be alright if I get some sleep,' he asked.
-
Cyrix smiled and said "Well I just hope things stay the same." he then looked to the sky and sighed. His gaze then shifted down to his nephew and Cyrix noticed Longtail was starting to look like he'd spent too much time sitting under the bright circle. Cyrix laughed lightly and said "I'm taking Longtail back to the cave."
He then turned to Cera and the female rainbow face and bowed before saying "good night."
-
"Goodnight." Cera said.
"If your cave is to far maybe you can sleep at my Mommy and Daddy's nest. I am sure they would not mind." Ducky said. Spike nodded. He doubted they would mind one more, considering all the kids they had.
-
two Dig pilots came to big boss dragging another pilot "Sir this is the one who threatened one of our operatives family,' the flight lead said. "I did it for Elka's glory,' the young pilot said.
-
"Elka..." Big Boss stared at the pilot "that glory is long gone you foul"
-
"No it's not,' the younger pilot cried. He got out of the grip of the other two pilots and gave a strong right hook to a gaurd and stole his Dcure weapon and pointed it at big boss. "I will have victory I've been humilaited long enough, he shouted. the other two pilots pulled their side arms and pointed it at the pilot. "We fire on your order sir,' they said at the same time to big boss.
-
"What should we do sir,' the lead pilot asked.
-
"Young foul, the Dcure won't have any affect on me I am already a dinosaur, it only affect mammals like yourself" Big Boss said walking towards him "Victory is what to come if you follow my plans" he take the gun and pulls it out of the younger pilot's hands then toss it to the side. "Soon we will step four onto the new light and from there we will build our home. As for you we will see, take him away" Big Boss said to the guards.
-
"He's been like this since the war ended but this is the first time he's been this hostile,' the lead pilot said to big boss as the younger pilot was taken away by the gaurds.
-
"It could be a number of things" Big Boss said to him "Soon in a weeks time this conflict will be at a end"
-
"Yeah,' the pilot replied.
-
(Ok I am skipping a head to morning guys, the train arrives at the station taking all night to get there and this one have sections for people to sleep on beds.)
Professor Elm woke up looking at the time in his room 7:30am then checked his things "Another morning... a Sunday and the tour, hope Frank ready for the chance to keep a eye on our guests, I am sure they will give him a hand full" Elm chuckled.
-
Frank woke up andlooked at melissa "Still asleep,' he said to himself. "Well better get ready for the tour,' he thought.
----------
a officer approached big boss and asked "Sir we found the remains of franks family shall I put them through the same process as we put that dinosaur through'.
-
mitch got up from his bed and sighed. "Well better get something to eat the head to the lab,' he said to himself. "I guess I'll go see eric after work,' he thought.
-
"Professor, can you hear us? I repeat, can you hear us?" Vylor asked with the communicator.
"We have just arrived. We'll start searching once we get the authority to." Argaya added.
-
Rick's assistant came up to meet Vylor and Argaya. "Hello I'm Justin ricks assitant are you new to the island I haven't seen you around it's been a while since I've been away from this part of the complex so forgive me if you aren't new,' justin said.
-
"sir what should I do,' the officer asked big boss.
-
"Good to hear your there, now if I hear right that Rick's assistant Justin, his the more pleasent type compared to Rick" Elm said to over the comm.
---
"About what?" Big Boss look to the officer with some annoyance since he haven't long got up
-
"Did you want frank's wife and kids put through the same process as that dino that was here yesterday,' the officer asked.
-
"I will think about it" Big Boss mutters
-
"alright since I've got other duties to do I'll get to them then,' the officer said before leaving.
-
"If you two would follow me I'll show you to ricks office,' justin said to vylor and agaya.
-
Rick was doing his paper work and saw on the screen that they arrived he wasn't pleased for the fact they came from the Complex Elm encharge of but since NEA see highly of Elm he had little choice but to accept the researchers arrival "This better be worth the paper work" he muttered with annoyance.
-
Littlefoots mom woke up and looked at walked to the opening of the cave and looked at the valley"It's more beautiful than I imanged,' she sadi to herself.
-
Frank went to the cafe and sat down next to ricktor "Hey ricktor,' he said before ordering some coffee and putting his fingerover his eyes and some tears ran down his face.
-
Chomper awake and lay there enjoying laying there resting and after a bit he heard what Littlefoot's mother said and got up and walked over to near where she was.
"All the Flatteeth seem to really enjoy the green stuff here quite a bit. There are lots of treesweets here too, and sweet bubbles. But unless it's your starday it is best if you stay away from his sweetbubbles." Chomper said.
-
Ricktor heard Frank speak, and as he looked up, Ricktor's eyes were bloodshot and it was clear from the seven or eight cups of coffee that he'd been here a while. Ricktor looked up and replied "Good morning...Frank. Or I wish it was a good morning...I haven't slept in three days and I'm running on coffee...which can't be good for my health."
Ricktor then noticed the teardrops and asked "What's wrong...is everything okay?"
-
Frank looked at ricktor and after wiping the tears away said "Early sunday mornings just get to me they have ever since that sunday morning in december 1941'. "I was there when it happened,' he said.
-
Ricktor gave a grim nod and replied to Frank "Yeah...buy ya know...it may not mean anything coming from me, but on that day even when we were caught by a sneak attack, everyone fought with crouage, honor and determination. That is the one thing I try to remember when I think about that day."
Ricktor then took another sip of coffee, stood up and walked over to the coffee maker and poured three more. As he sat back down next to Frank, Ricktor sighed and said "I want to sleep...I know I need sleep...ugh...hey Frank, if I asked you to knock me out...would you do it?"
~~~~~
Longtail blinked as he felt the warm light of the bright circle on his face, and he smiled. For a moment he'd forgotten what day it was but in a flash it came back to him, as he accidently shouted "Alright! Toaday's the day of the tour!"
-
Frank nodded his head "Yeah I would,' frank said. "I could talk to elm and as I found out yesterday he's my father and besides everyone needs to get some rest once in a while so I could talk to him about giving you some time to rest,' frank said.
-
Ricktor nodded his head as he tired to blink his eyes, only to reviece a sharp buning pain when doing so as he replied once more to Frank "Yeah...some serious down time would be wonderful...but I actually want to keep working...but I know I can't without some form of sleep so you can see my problem."
Ricktor then smiled and said "But I am glad to hear that Prof. Elm is your father...what was your reaction to the news?"
-
"Well my reaction was just my a I had a feeling you were moment,' frank replied. "I first got the feeling when he began to be protective of me when he saw me for the first time since WWII ended so he decided to stay he got me through the time after my wife of almost 30 years died,' frank added.
-
Justin looked back and said to Vylor and agarla "You two comming or not'.
-
"Oh, sorry. Yes, we are." Vylor replied.
"So, what work has been done here lately?" Argaya asked. "After we've talked with Rick, we want to see the work done here."
-
"A;right I'll arrange it,' justin said.
-
Ricktor smiled and said to Frank "Yeah, that sounds about right. I do suppose finding out Elm is your father is a pretty good feeling though...knowing you have someone to look after you when the day is over."
-
"Yeah it is,' frank said smiling. "Well I've got to give a tour to some VIPs today so I'll head over to my dad's office and ask him about giving you some time off,' frank said.
-
Ricktor downed his second (Well fourteenth but who's counting) cup of coffee, but frowned as he asked "Who are these VIP's and why haven't the science devision been told yet?"
-
Ducky awoke excited by what the day was. She awoke nearly the same time as her mother who started waking up her siblings then Spike.
Petrie awoke all excited. He waved to his family and flew off to find the others, heading over towards Ducky's nest first.
-
Littlefoot was still asleep at his nest after getting back late he just was still asleep.
-----
Rick watch the cameras of the two coming towards the office then at the papers "Research on a Dinosaurs in the waterfall valley? so that what Elm been working on other then the main tasks." Rick muttered.
-
Grandpa Longneck smiled at his grandson sleeping. He decided not to wake him so early and let Littlefoot get just a few more moments of sleep while Grandpa began eating from the top of a nearby tree. Then thinking Littlefoot might be hungry when he wakes up, the elderly longneck pulled a treestar down and sat it in front of Littlefoots nose.
-
"I am under orders not to disclose their identies and the science division wasn't told because elm and I thought it best not to tell,' frank said. "We didn't want you all riled up about the VIPs,' frank added.
-
Ricktor smiled and nodded his head as he replied "That's fine. But I'm guessing these VIP's are pretty important then." He blinked and said "Well I'm sure you've got things to do...and I need some sleep...if you need me, I'll be in my room."
He then stood, taking his several cups of coffee with him and started walking to the door.
-
Ducky sat beside the bank near the water and looked briefly over at Spike who was eating from a bush not far from their sleeping place. One of her twin sisters Diver swam over, holding some underwater green food that she had gotten earlier and offered her some. She sat beside Ducky and then started to eat together.
"So what do you plan on doing today?" Diver asked.
"Oh, just playing with my friends, maybe explore some caves." Ducky said, not lying and not telling the full truth since the complex was a secret and it was underground and in caves. They continued eating.
"Ok, be safe, some of those caves are not, certainly not." Diver said.
"These are. We were in some of them with some grown ups including Mr. Thicknose. They said it was ok for us to go there again today, they did." Ducky said looking at her sister.
Diver finished her food and went to the water, turning back to wave to Ducky."Ok, be safe & have fun." Diver said. She then turned to look to her mother to say, "I'll be going over to Mia's sleeping place and we'll be playing with Rhyn in the watering place we usually play at for a while." Diver said then dove into the water to swim most of the way to Mia's place, since it was near the water.
Petrie arrived about the same time and he waved his hands around excitedly. "You remember what today is? Petrie no forget." Petrie said.
Ducky nodded, "I remember about the caves we are to explore, I do. Here eat some of these we do not want to get hungry while we are in the caves, no we do not." Ducky said and tore off a piece of the under water green food she was eating and offered some to Petrie.
Petrie took the bit of food Ducky offered and ate it. In his excitement he had not finished his breakfast and didn't realize how hungry he was. "ooo, underwater green food, Petrie like." He said.
Ducky finished her bit of underwater green food. "Let us go and eat with Spike, before he eats all of the leaves." Ducky said and lead the way to where Spike was eating nearby.
-- - - -
Cera awoke and yawned for a bit, still relaxing till she remembered what today was. She went a short distance and using her head knocked down some treestars and began eating her breakfast.
- - - - -
Chomper, keeping and eye on Littlefoot's mother so she would not get lost, went to look for some crawlers to eat.
"If you want to know where anything is just ask me, I"ll be glad to help." Chomper said to her.
-
Littlefoot woke to see the treestars and smiled "Thanks Grandpa" he whispered knowing who left it there for him as he took it and ate it.
-
Justin reached ricks office "sir there's two NEA personal here to talk to you,' justin said.
---------
Frank was walking toward elm office when he passed the lounge where several personal were watching a documentory made in 1995 about the aces of the border dispute between his country and elka in 1985. What none of the personal realised the pilots that were interviewed in the show were talking about frank. Frank watch on as the documentory was at it's final interview "Daniel Webster also known 'No wings' Vlazgriz's #5 and member of the Ositan air force 1st air division 15th tatical fighter squadron. That's right this man was their buddy and their enemy,' the narrater said. "Geez,' one of the personal watching said. "Shh,' another said as dainel began to speak. "I should have died that day but I did not.' "I reached ground zero of the nuclear detonations, a barren empty land I felt an unbarrible sadness when I witnessed that landscape.' "There were still people living there they were the ones that saved me, Though some may say the world is better without borders would getting rid them really change anything?' The world is not gonna change unless we have trust in others trust is cruical in a peaceful world that's never gonna happen though. the camrea view panned out to show the building the interview was in "I'm still on the battlefield right now I'm near a border, I wanna see for myself what borders mean and what their volition is I may not find what I'm looking for but I still wanna try, anyway that's what I've to believe and I think that's enough'. "Will they see this video?'. If you do meet them give'em a message for me,Yo guys y'all still alive?' "And thanks friends see ya again'. The camrea view changed to a veiw of 4 planes in formation. "The demons of Vlazgriz warriors who soared through the Velkan border dispute,' The picture show the planes fly over head the a bunch of feathers were shown. "Their presence fill the skies for but a few short months before they dissapeared,' "apart from that nothing is known about the, I was never able to find out what kind of people they really were,' "But whenever they talked about them they always had a slight smile on their faces, that perhaps may be my answer,' the narrater said before the show went to the cerdits. Frank sighed and continued to elms office "I hope he surived the flooding,' frank thought.
---------
"Some greenfood would be nice,' littlefoots mom said to chomper.
------------
Sam walked out to the beach of the DIG base "So frank didn't reconize my voice during our brief chat well he'll reconise if he tries to stop us,' he thought.
-
Chomper looked up at Littlefoot's Mother, "If you want I can show you where some treestar trees are. That seems to be something flatteeth seem to enjoy eating." Chomper said.
-
Frank reached elm's office and knocked on the door.
"Thank you chomper but I was wondering if you or ruby could get some since we don't want grandma or grandpa seeing me before littlefoot tells them,' littlefoot's mom replied.
-
Chomper nods, "I sure can. I"ll ask Ruby if she'll help since we sharpteeth sometimes have problems telling good treestars from bad ones. And maybe we can find some other stuff flateeth like too like treesweets and sweet bubbles, that is if Mr. Clubtail's not eaten them or found them first." Chomper said.
"If you want some water there is some flowing water in some caves back there, and a waterfall too. I never knew there could be a waterfall in caves before." Chomper said then went to the area where Ruby usually slept.
"Ruby, are you awake yet?" He asked, calling out softly enough so hopefully he would not wake her up if she was still sleeping.
- - - - -
Ducky & Petrie had mainly finished their eating and Ducky turned to look at Petrie and Spike. "Let us go over to Cera's sleeping place and see if she is awake." Ducky said.
"We be sure Cera awake, she grumpy if she woken up." Petrie said.
"Never waking up a sleeping threehorn is a good thing to do. Let us go Spike." Ducky said as she climbed on Spike and Petrie flew up to land beside her.
Spike nodded. He would have liked to continue eating for a while, but he also knew where the tastiest food was between here and Cera's sleeping place so could eat along the way, he thought to himself.
-
"Hey dad you there,' frank asked knocking on the door again.
-
"Come in Frank" Elm called from the other side he working at his desk on the sample he had working on a way to reverse it or even use it as a temporally changing Dcure that only last a little while then the person would reverse back to normal.
---
"Thank you Justin" Rick put the papers down then look at them both "Please take a seat and tell me about your research assignment here at Alpha Complex" Rick asked in a calm manner with hands closed together as he spoke
-
Frank walked in and asked "Dad could you give ricktor a few days off I just talked with him it really looks like he needs some rest'.
-
"We were told by NEA to research the dinosaurs around Alpha Complex. As a side job, we also want to examine the data you've collected and see if we could speed up your progress." Argaya said, taking a seat. Vylor sat down next to her, hoping that this would work.
-
Grandpa Longneck leaned his head down and said "Your welcome Littlefoot. Are you excited about today...it's the grand tour of the Underground Valley complex."
-
Ducky, Petrie, & Spike arrived near Cera's sleeping place. Spike had taken time to get a bite here and there along the way.
Ducky waved to Cera who had was finishing eating some treestars she had knocked down.
"Hello Cera, are you excited about today, we are, is that not right Spike." Ducky asked looking at Cera then Spike.
Spike nodded, he was looking forward to the tour indeed. He wondered if they would have any interesting and tasty food.
"Me excited. Me can hardly sit still." Petrie said figiting a bit in his excitement as he thought of the tour.
"Yea, I guess it's ok. It may be interesting to see the new rooms." Cera said walking over closer to where they were.
-
Sam came to big boss and said "Sir I heard that we have the remains of franks family my suggestion would be to put them through the same process as that longnecked dinosaur went through it may just get frank on our side'.
-
Just then Longtail and Cyrix stepped out from behind the trees and both of them waved to Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike. "Hi guys...are you all excited about today? I am!"
Cyrix laughed and replied "Yes nephew...you woke me up with a happy little scream of joy. I might be joining you today...I'm not sure."
-
Ducky and Petrie waved, "Hello. Yes I am exciteded about today, I am, I am." Ducky said.
"Me exciteded too. Me no can wait. It time yet?" Petrie said.
Spike nodded, as he chewed and swallowed some tastey green food he had found.
"Threehorns don't get excited. But I suppose since the rest of my friends are going to I may as well." Cera said. Keeping her true feelings hidden.
"Why not come Mr. Cyrix, you are not to big, no you are not, and you may have fun." Ducky said.
-
The male rainbow face got up and walked out of the cave "Ah what a beautiful morning,' he said.
-
Big Boss turn to Sam "It would affect Elm as well, I am not going to put Elm through that. In the eyes of a Rainbow Face when it comes to one of our own or family member including those of sons wife and kids the rule applys. I am still bond to the law of the Rainbow Face when it comes to that so leave the remains where they are. If I find out someone does it behind my back. I will make them very very sorry, this is one path I will not allow to be taken" Big Boss stood up as he finished what he said looking very serious with each word he said to Sam.
-------
"Alright that is fine by me Frank, he can have has many days off he wishes" Elm said to Frank.
-------
Littlefoot smiled "Yeah I am" Littlefoot spoke then thought about his mother "Grandpa, I got something really important to tell you it might sound very crazy and might not be believeable but I really need to tell you before I show you and Grandma... it what DIG did" Littlefoot said to him
-
"I understand,' sam replied.
"Ok so I guess I'll go tell ricktor and then I'll get ready for the tour frank said leaving.
-
"I guess she's really asleep, I don't want to disturb her sleep." Chomper said and left where he was, not calling out to Ruby a second time. He went outside the cave looking around for some things that he remembered seeing Littlefoot and the others eat, especially Spike.
He was pulling some leaves off when he saw a young flyer with a long tail flying nearby. He waved and called out, thinking he had seen her before.
"Hello, would you mind helping me a little?" He called out.
Rhyn, a young longtiailed type of flyer, landed on a nearby tree branch. "What sort of help do you need?" She asked.
"I"m getting some green food for a friend of mine and wondered if you could help me get some I can't reach since I"m not a very good climber." Chomper said.
"Sure, my friends won't mind if I'm a little late." Rhyn said and started to pull off some leaves and drop them to the ground. She then went to another tree and biting through some stems got some treesweets loose enough to drop them to the ground.
Chomper looked for a large leaf he could drag everything back in like he had done on the island. Looking around he found a large leaf and pulled it off and started to put some of what Rhyn had dropped onto it and also some leaves and berries of nearby bushes that he had seen Spike eat when they had visited his this area before on their way to the secret caverns.
-
Grandpa longneck smiled at his grandson and replied "Alright Littlefoot, what is so important. And your Grandmother and I know that whatever you say can be true if we get to see it with our own eyes afterwards."
~~~~~
Cyrix nodded and said to Ducky "I suppose I should...it does sound like it could be enjoyable. Alright I'll go!"
Longtail upon hearing his uncles words jumped into the air and did a flip of joy as he cried "Yes! Thank you Uncle Cyrix! You have no idea how much this means to me!"
-
The male rainbow face walked to where cryix longtail cera ducky petrie and spike were "Good morning,' he said.
-
Ducky noticed the male rainbowface arrival and waved, "Hello, how are you this morning? I hope you are feeling well, I do." Ducky said.
"You get good sleep?" Petrie asked him.
"Hello." Cera said in a cheery voice, "How are you doing?" She asked. Spike made some happy sounding sounds while smiling.
Ducky looked at Spike then at the male rainbowface, "Spike says hello." Ducky said.
___
Chomper waved to Rhyn, "I think that is enough." Chomper said as he put the last few treestars, berries and tree sweets onto the large leaf. He looked at it and it was within the weight he could pull to where Littlefoot's mother was.
"Ok, do you need help taking it? I can help you pull it." Rhny said.
"No, thanks for the help. I can get it to where my friend is, I hope you are not to late to meet your friends." Chomper said.
"Not to late and if I fly fast I'll be only slightly late." Rhyn said and flew off flying a bit faster then she had before.
Chomper watched her fly off for a few seconds then sure she was gone he grasp the large leaf and drug it over to where Littlefoot's mother was.
"I hope this is enough. I found someone to help me and we got some treestars, treesweets and some other things I've seen flatteeth enjoy eating." Chomper said once he had gotten near to where Littlefoot's mother was, "I hope it's enough for a snack at least." He said.
-
"Well I'd better check on melissa see ya later dad,' frank said as he left the office.
------------
"Well did he approve,' a DIG sicentist asked sam. "No he did not and he said anyone who did it would be in very serious trouble,' sam said.
-
"I'm doing good kids,' the male rainbowface said.
--------
Melissa woke up and started jumping up and down on evans stomach before tackling Ian
-
Ice was leaning on a wall tapping her tail on it "Of course he wouldn't allow it. In the Rainbow Face Database, the 'Primal Law' as they call it, is the blood othe of the core of Rainbow Faces itself. Have a read if you want since your one now Sam" Ice points to the computer beside her.
---
Littlefoot took a deep breath and starts to explain what DIG did and that his mother was alive in a manner that try to limit the shock of what he was saying then finishes up "...so that all of it Grandpa, Grandma, she at the moment staying at the caves where Chomper and Ruby sleep at"
---
Elm sat back after Frank left "if they found Frank's own families remains they could bring them back but I know Big Boss would never let it happen, even our Primal Law is old it still what made Rainbow Faces of today" Elm whispered staring at the Dcure sample "that why this was made..."
-
"It's enough,' littlefoots mom said with a warm smile on her face.
----
Melissa tried to get Ian awake by poking him with her horn gently.
-
Rick looked at the paper again then look at the two before him "Very well, all papers been cleared. There is a obversation window on floor 6 at the mess hull where the people go to eat. That be the only window you will have to see into the Valley" Rick told them both. "Also we will give you what data we have on the dinosaurs in this area." Rick said to them.
-
Grandpa Longneck had yet to move, or say anything, he was stunned. He looked over to his mate, and then down at his grandson and gave a warm smile as he said, "A-Are you sure...about this Littlefoot, that this...isn't just a sleep story you had. What you are telling me...is your mother...my daughter..is...alive again?" Grandpa Longneck sighed and then finally sat down to think.
~~~~~~
Longtail smiled at the male rainbow face and replied "That's good to hear. Did you enjoy the hot springs last night?"
Cyrix simply nodded his head in response to his friends arrival.
-
"Yes I enjoyed the hot spring very much young longtail,' the male rainbowface said.
Frank walked to Ricktor's room and knocked on the door.
-
Longtail smiled and said, "Good. I might use them again soon. I tend to have trouble sleeping...especially in trees." he then laughed at the thought of him falling out of a tree.
Cyrix then asked "So what's on your mind for today?" he directed towards the male rainbow face.
~~~~
Ricktor opened the door and smiled when he noticed Frank on the other side. He then asked "What's up...come on in. What did Elm have to say?"
-
"Meybe you make nest in tiny cave like mommy does. Her nest no in tree." petrie said, thinking of the places his mother had made her nest. The best word for them would be a tiny cave.
"Yes, that may be more comfortable for you, it may it may." Ducky said. Spike nodded, thinking what Petrie and Ducky said to be true and good ideas.
"What do you want to do till the time comes to head to the special meeting?" Cera asked looking at the others present.
---
"I hope it is enough, for a while at least. It is a great place living here in the Great Valley, you'll love it." Chomper said to Littlefoot's mother.
-
"Elm said take all the time off you need,' frank said.
-
"It all true Grandpa, I can take you up to the secert Caverns and show you!" Littlefoot beamed at his Grandpa
-
"So how about we swap old war storieswhile drinking to old battle scars huh,' frank asked ricktor while sitting on a chair.
Melissa kept poking Ian to get him awake.
-
Ian woke up.
When he saw that it was Melissa that had waken him up, he got up and started to wag his tail with joy. His face shun like a sun at her.
He spoke out one of the few words that Evan had tought him earlier.
"Play!"
He started to jump around playfully.
-
Melissa wagged her tail and started jumpin up and down on evan.
-
Ricktor gave a bright grin as he sighed and said, "Well that's good to hear, and yeah..I'll drink to that! So you want to head to back to the commons or do you want something from my private stash?"
~~~~
Grandpa Longneck for most of his life had believed in the thoughts of others and teaching Littlefoot the difference from right and wrong, but this news brought such joy to his heart that as he stood up he began to shed tears as he finally said, "Yes...yes Littlefoot...I'd like to see her again. Please...lead the way."
-
"Thanks. Where is a living quarters? We need to rest a little before we begin collecting our data." Vylor asked.
-
"How about we do it later the since I'm giving the tour in a few hours and it may be best not to come drunk cause it hard for me to say no when there's drinking involved,' frank said.
-
Ricktor laughed and said "Sure, okay Frank I'll hold you to it." Now go get ready, while I get some well deserved rest." And almost before he finished his sentence Ricktor was sound asleep with his head on his hands, hanging over the back of the padded chair.
~~~~~
Longtail smiled at Petrie's suggestion. "That's a really good idea! Hey uncle can I try to sleep in a cave tonight?"
Cyrix laughed and replied "Only if it's near my cave nephew, wouldn't want you getting into trouble by yourself now would we?"
Longtail giggled and said "No, guess not." He then turned to Cera and said, "I say we race to the Thundering Falls that will waste our time, and when we get there it should be time for the meeting to start!
-
Frank smiled and walked out silently remembering to close the door quietly. "Well I'd better see if melissa's awake,' he thought to himself walking back to the greenhouse.
-
"Now that is the sort of idea that I like." Cera said looking at Longtail.
Ducky looked at Cyrix, "Maybe there is a small cave or a ledge type of thing near where your cave is that he could try using, there could be." Ducky said.
-
Frank walked into the green house and saw Ian and Melissa bouncing on evan. He chuckled and smiled to himself before walking to where they could see him.
Melissa noticed frank and jumped off evan and ran to frank. "Hey how ya doing melissa,' he said.
-
"Yeah I'll read the laws,' sam said to ice before going to the computer.
-
"I'm glad her dad's around!"
It was Evan who spoke.
He was standing up with Ian standing by his feet.
Evan rubbed his belly gently with his hand.
"God knows how long they've jumped onto me..." he said and chuckled, before strethcing his back and walked over to Frank.
Ian followed him, but ran ahead to Melissa and began to chase around Frank's legs after her.
"What's going on upon the surface?" Evan asked and rubbed his chin and yawned.
-
"We should probbaly wait for her to get here before we go to the thundering falls,' The male rainbowface said refering to the female rainbow face.
------
'Not much I had a chat with Ricktor and he's been given a few days off,' frank said.
-
"Yea I guess." Cera said, not entirely convinced and a bit annoyed, wanting to race.
"If we do go there before she gets here she may get lost, she may." Ducky said.
"Great Valley have danger places." Petrie said, remembering a few they had come across or gotten into during their past adventures.
"Oh, yes, yes, like the sinking sand." Ducky said.
"Let's not talk about that again." Cera said, well remembering the incident.
- - -
Chomper stayed somewhat near Littlefoot's mother, not in the same cave where she was, but nearby, in case she needed or wanted anything. He managed to find a few things he could eat as he did so, knowing she could not see him.
-
"Okay." Evan said short.
"Well, me and Ian have been taking some lessons. He has learned quite many simple words already! I'm sure that he will develop more in time and with some training. Letting him play with Melissa is great!"
Evan went for his rucksack. Dissapointed, he threw it aside.
"Oh man... I'm out. And I'm sick of vegetables!" he said and rolled his eyes.
"Frank, I'm starving. I don't know if I'm allowed to leave this place, so if you wouldn't mind... some food?" Evan said and lifted his shoulders a little.
--------
Ian ran off and found a rock that he passed over to Melissa.
He then waited for her to pass it back.
-
"Well I could get some food from the cafe if you'd like,' frank said. "Yeah I'll have to teach Melissa later since the tour will start in about an hour or two,' frank said looking at his watch.
Melissa passed the rock back to ian
-
"Tour? What tour?" Evan asked, curious.
-
"Remember startor and I are giving littlefoot and his friends a tour of the facility,'frank said.
eric got up and walked over to ian and melissa want to play with them.
-
Longtail frowned as he heard they had to wait.
"This is so pointless...I'm bored! I wanna race." He sighed and said "I'll only wait so long. Before I fall asleep."
-
"Well you could all go on ahead I can wait for her to get up,' the male rainbowface said.
-
"Maybe those who want to race can, and those who do not can stay here. Both would be happy, they would, they would." Ducky said.
"That sound like plan to Petrie." Petrie said.
"Hanging around with me has started to rub off on you Ducky." Cera said smiling.
-
Littlefoot smiled "Alright come with me Grandpa" he leads his grandpa to the caverns.
----
Female Rainbow came up to the Male and the others "Morning, I gather you all slept well and refreshed for a new day?"
-
"Yeah you could say that,' the male rainbowface said.
-
"Good luck you 2." Ducky said to the departing Littlefoot & his grandfather, knowing what they were going off to.
"Me hope it not to scary for him." Petrie said in a low voice.
Cera looked at Petrie with an annoyed look on her face, "Why would it be scary?" Cera asked.
"I am sure they'll be happy, I am, I am." Ducky said.
- - - -
"I wonder when Littlefoot will bring his Grandparents over to meet his mother." Chomper said out loud. "I hope the surprise is a happy one and not to surprising." He said.
-
Grandpa Longneck gave a wide smile as he fell into step behind his grandson and said, "Lead the way Littlefoot." To tell the truth...Grandpa hadn't been this excited about anything in a long time. He began to wonder what he would say when he saw his daughter again. Many thoughts ran through his mind as he continued to follow Littlefoot to the secret caves.
-
Littlefoot took his grandpa up to the caves then called out "Mother Grandpa is here!" he yelled out into the caverns to let her come out to surprise Grandpa herself
-
Littlefoot's mom walked out to where grandpa could see her "Well it's good to see you again dad,' she said.
-
Chomper had heard Littlefoot but had both been in another cave and had taken is time walking to where Littlefoot was, making sure that Littlefoot's mother walked outside to where Littlefoot and her dad was. He didn't say anything, not wanting to spoil the surprise and likely questions, explanations and such that would happen.
-
Sam finished reading the rules on the computer "I never thought there would be this many rules,' he thought to himself.
-
Littlefoot smiled seeing that Littlefoot's own mother was face to face with Grandpa now 'I hope Grandpa is fine' he thought to himself.
----
Rick turn to the two "Right, we have only one room with bunks in it left. For you two to sleep at night that will have to do for a week. This complex isn't as big as the others since it more out of the way and more centralized to the centre of the land mass." Rick explained to them
-
Grandpa Longneck was in shock. He was overjoyed at this...his daughter was alive again! He shed several tears of joy as he walked over and nuzzled his daughter and spoke, "I never...thought I'd see you again....after the story Littlefoot told." He smiled again and said, "Thank you for bringing me here Littlefoot. This is one of the happiest days of my life." he then looked to his daughter and asked "How are you?"
-
"I'm doing well dad,' littlefoots mom said as she returned the nuzzle.
-
Chomper did his best to try to creap and move away so he could leave the 3 of them alone to catch up and such.
- --
"I guess we can just sit here all day till it's the right time." Cera said in her sarcastic voice, a bit bored.
"We can tell funny and happy stories till then, we can, we can.." Ducky said.
Spike nodded liking the idea, as he started eating some grass that was taller.
"Me like, those no scary." Petrie said. Cera turned her eyes upward, her friends having completely missed her sarcastic comment & she didn't feel like explaining to them what she really meant.
"Fine, whatever." Cera said.
-
Littlefoot was very happy seeing that the telling part worked out very well indeed before Grandpa met his mother and this moment was one of the best moments in his life.
-
The question on Grandpa Longnecks mind was one he'd had for a long time...since he was a hatchling actually, and now he thought, was the best time to ask.
He looked to his daughter and asked "Dear, w-what was it like...being..dead? What did you see? How did it feel? I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions my dear...I just wish to know."
~~~~
Longtail smiled as he sat down next to Cera and said, "Aw relax. I'm sure this won't take too long. After all...the humans won't wait for long either."
-
"It feels like you're in a peacefu place I met Sharptooth while I was dead He told me he was sorry and I told him he was just following his instincts and that we were born the way we were born and that there was notthing we could do about it,' littlefoots mom said.
-
Grandpa Longneck was stunned as he said aloud "You met the Sharptooth that killed you?!" But after realizing his shock he smiled and said, "I'm proud of you...you forgave him, even when for a long time I could not. You have learned well my daughter." He then nuzzled her.
-
"I learned from the best dad there is,' littlefoots mom said.
-
"Dad going to be really surprised to hear and see this when he next visits" Littlefoot beamed
-
Frank looked in his in his duffle bag and found some energy bars. "Hey evan I was just looking in my bag and I found some energy bars,' frank said to evan.
-
Lisa walked up to the labs and using her key accessed into it "Morning Professor"
"Morning Lisa, I been working on the Dcure sample I have and from what I gather changing it seems to be far simpler then thought, have a look" Elm showed her the results he got.
"It seems that these results on different balances determon how effective the Dcure is from changing the age to brain path ways. If I am not mistaken you could already make a sample that only change someone into a Dinosaur for a short period. Looks like 5 days to this computer test" She said looking at the data
"Indeed. I want you to run on the final computer tests to see if my results match up" Elm replied
"Yes Sir" Lisa smiled and went over to the computer and started work on it right away.
-
Frank tossed an energy bar to evan.
Eric continued to run around with ian and melissa
-
Grandpa Longneck smiled at Littlefoots comment and replied, "Why yes he is. I'm sure of it! I do hope he and his herd come by soon, as I'm sure he'd be overjoyed to see you again my daughter."
~~~~
Longtail just sat still and eventually closed his eyes and began to breath deeply and listened to the sounds around him, as his uncle had taught him to do. He could hear water flowing, the trees moving with the wind, and even a few rocks sliding nearby. He smiled and gave a content sigh as these sounds began to lull him into sleep.
-
"Awsome!" Evan said as he grabbed the bar with his hand and ate it.
"Thank you" he said with his mouth full.
"I need a walk, I'll be heading into the complex."
"Ian"!
Ian stopped running and ran over to Evan.
"We're going for a walk, you coming?"
Ian smiled and noded in return.
"Frank, you're busy, or do you care to go with us? Say what you want about man-made enviroments, but there is some nice places around here. Nothing to be compared to the Valley above though I'm afraid..."
-
"Yeah there's still some time before the tour for the two rainbow faces any so I'll join you,' frank said following evan with eric and melissa running after him.
-
Elm stood by the computer watching what Lisa was doing then look to the time "Almost time for that tour to begin" Elm whispered.
-
"Will the time never come." Cera said in mild annoyance looking up at the sky to see about where the sun was, but not directly at the sun.
-
"You have some patience,' the male rainbow face said to cera.
-
"Good things come to those that wait youngone" Female Rainbow Face said with a smile looking at the male Rainbow Face
-
Longtail almost immediately jumped up with a shout of joy and said, "Finally! Okay..." He then calmed down a bit and got into a running position and said, "Now let's get this race started! Are you ready Cera?"
-
Cera nodded with a look of concentration on her face, "Oh yea, I'm more then ready." She said to Longtail.
-
A scientist came up to elm "Sir you told me to look at the conditions for later this week and I found out that there will be a metor shower on the day of General andersons birthday,'the scientist said.
-
Longtail gave a smile as he said, "Okay. On the count of three...we start. Ready...1....2...3!" And with that he took off running hoping to pull ahead of Cera, but making sure not to fly, he wanted the race to be fair after all.
-
At the proper moment Cera took off at the same time as Longtail, running as fast as she could towards the destination. To her this was better then sitting around and waiting for the time to pass.
"Looks like those 2 are having fun, yep, yep, yep." Ducky said watching Longtail & Cera run off.
"It do. Cera no like sit and wait." Petrie said watching the 2 run off.
-
"THank you" Elm said to the scientist looking at the details given then said "I believe we could use this to our advantage" Elm said with a slight whisper.
-
the scientist left elm's office and went back to the lab.
-
Littlefoot remembered "Oh yeah I totally forgot, I got to go. See you later Mother, Grandpa!" Littlefoot ran off to meet up with his friends.

Chomper remembered the meeting he was supposed have as he ate a snack. He quickly finished and ran towards where the meeting was to take place.
Spike continued to eat from a nearby bush as he watched Cera run off. Ducky got a piece of a nearby leaf while siting on Spike and ate it.
"Me wonder who win." Petrie said watching them run off.
-
Frank looked at his watch "It's almost time I should get the rainbow faces and littlefoot and his friends since it's almost time for the tour,' frank said. He looked at melissa who had fallen asleep while walking. "Evan could you take melissa and eric back to the greenhouse,' he asked.
-
"Is it time for the rest of us to be heading over there?" Ducky asked looking at the sky to see about where the sun was.
-
The male rainbowface looked up at the sun "It's time already,' he asked the female rainbow face.
-
"Indeed it does look like it, but we do have to wait for the other two young ones, Littlefoot and CHomper" Female Rainbow Face replied to the male Rainbow Face.
-
Ducky looked at the speaker, "What if 1 or both of them headed to the meeting place thinking we'd be waiting for them there, it could happen, it could, it could." Ducky said.
- -
Chomper hoping he would not be late continued to run towards the meeting place, glad it was not to far from where he was. & even more glad that he was almost there.
-
Frank ran to the door to the area where they were to meet. Arriving he stood a moment panting "Man I haven't run that fast in a long time,' he said to himself. Looking at his watch again and seeing there was still a few minutes he decided to wait since he did't know if they were all there or not.
-
Alice came up to where Frank was with a note pad "Hello Frank, I am coming to help you out today with the tour, I also been asked to to take note of questions, if that is alright with you as well" Alice said to him with a smile.
(Sorry for being gone for a little while had things going on that got me no time to come on )
-
Chomper ran to where the meeting place was (unless he has to cross where some of the characters are).
Cera continued to run her fastest to the area to try her best to bet Longtail. Spike went over to Ducky and started to make sounds to her.
Ducky nodded to what Spike said, "Yes Spike it is time to go." She said, climbing onto Spike's back.
"We Going?" Petrie asked looking around at the others.
-
"Well fire away,' frank said.
-
"Of the young dinosaurs questions sir" Alice said correcting what she had said to Frank.
-
"Oh I'm sorry I thought you were going to ask me some questions,' frank said.
-
"Well there's the meeting point,' the male rainbow face said watching cera and longtail run toward it.
-
Longtail smiled as he said, "Oh come on Cera at least pretend to try and win this race! I'm not even breaking a sweat!"
-
Littlefoot came running from a direction blocked view of trees and bushes so Longtail didn't see him till Littlefoot saw him trying to stop he crash into Longtail both tumberling around a little both finishing landing on their backs looking at the sky both a bit dazed.
Female Rainbow Face chuckled a little
----
Lisa nods "Well I could if you like but I'd do know a fair bit about you sir." she looked at the watch on her wrist "Sir it's time"
-
Petrie cringed, "That look like it hurt." He said.
Ducky got off of Spike and ran over to where Littlefoot was while Spike followed at his usual walking pace, not seeing a need to hurry since Littlefoot & Longtail didn't seem hurt to him.
"Are you both ok? Do you hurted anywhere?" She asked both Longtail and Littlefoot.
Cera slowed down once she didn't hear Longtail. She then went back to where they were looking at Littlefoot. "If you wanted to join the race you were welcome, but try running in the right direction. Threehorns never run in the wrong direction." She said once she was sure Longtail and Littlefoot were ok by looking at them.
Chomper arrived at the meeting place and looked around. "Gosh, I wonder where everyone is. Maybe they are busy doing stuff and forgot." He said. Not having much else to do he picked up a few small rocks and made a tiny pile and looking around to be sure no one was around started throwing them at a spot in front of him.
-
Frank threw the door switch. The engines opening the doors whined as they opened them.
-
"Sorry about that Longtail didn't see you till that last second... I couldn't slow down in time" Littlefoot said getting up on his four feet shaking his head a little to get his senses back.
-
Frank turned the device on his arm on and walked out as he turned into his rainbowface form "ah what a beautiful morning,' he said.
-
Longtail still on his back giggled as he replied, "Yeah...I'm okay. I just wish I'd stop running into my friends when I'm racing is all. But I am glad to see you're okay Littefoot."
Longtail then stood up and shook the loose dirt off of himself.
-
"I am glad you both were not hurteded, I am, I am." Ducky said. Spike made a sound and nodded.
"Spike says he is glad you were not hurteded too." Ducky said as she patted one of Spike's legs before she climbed onto him.
"Petrie glad no hurteded from run in. It look like it hurteded." Petrie said as he uncringed.
"At least you didn't knock each other out. They you may have missed the special meeting. Or have you forgotten?" Cera asked looking at them.
- - -
Chomper sat down, still tossing rocks at the place they were to meet the others from inside the underground valley.
"I wonder where the others are. Maybe eating breakfast. It sure does take flat teeth a long time to eat." Chomper said to himself, bored and went back to tossing a few more rocks a short distance, for something to do.
-
Longtail smiled at what Cera said, and replied, "Yeah, come on..lets keep going! I wanna get there sooner than later!" He then turned and started speed walking towards the meeting place knowing better than to run where he wanted to go.
-
"Alright, lets go" Littlefoot beamed and runs off after Longtail.
-
"Let us head there, yes we should." Ducky said as she and Spike followed the others. Petrie landed on Cera and rode her, holding onto her frill as she started as well heading in to the meeting place for the tour with the others.
-
As Longtail reached the Thundering falls he smiled as he said, "Hey I can see Chomper up ahead! He must be waiting for us, and so are the other two rainbow faces!" Longtail then spread his wings and flapped several times lifting himself into the air and flew the rest of the way.
-
Sam walked by where DIG engineers were working on the plane and thought to himself "how much longer till it's done'.
-
Big Boss watched from inside his lab in the ship of the hanger of Sam walked by it "Plane is almost ready... but it missing a piece of technology to make it work. And that we can't take out of this ship. without it this ship would never be able to take off. All attempts to create a copy failed so far" Big Boss said to himself.
-
Chomper looked around wondering when the others would get there. He smiled when he saw Longtail and started to wave to him.
-
Longtail skidded to a stop and waved back at Chomper as he said, "Hey, Chomper! How long have you been waiting here? I'm sorry if we're late...I ran into Littlefoot...again. I have got to stop doing that."
-
"Nice to see you here." Chomper shook his head, "I'm not sure if you are late or not. " He giggled a bit at the mention of running into Littlefoot, "I see you are ok. I guess Littlefoot is too." He said. "I'm glad you are here. I started to get bored just waiting." Chomper said.
-
Longtail frowned as he turned around and said, "Oh come on guys! Cera, Littlefoot I didn't know you two were this slow, or I would've kept walking instead of flying like I did...hurry up and get over here!"
-
Cera looked annoyed, "I'm only going slow so LIttlefoot doesn't get lost, what with the accident that he had." She said.
"We are coming, we are, we are." Ducky said from Spike's back.
"Me no miss this." Petrie said from behind Cera's frill.
-
Longtail turned to Ducky, Spike and Petrie and smiled as he waved to them as well and said, "Nice to see you all too! I think it's almost time." He looked to the two rainbow faces and asked "Well is it almost time or what?"
-
"Well it is time but where are they,' the male rainbow face asked himself. Frank poked his head around the corner and said to them "This way people'.
-
"Great." Chomper said and walked over to where Frank was. Spike, carrying Ducky, with Cera, carrying Petrie, walked over in that direction as well.
"Good, looks like we got here just in time." Cera said happy with herself for not being to late nor to early.
-
Longtail smiled and said, "Ahh, about time...hey wait...has anyone seen my uncle...he's supposed to be here? But...I haven't seen him since I left the cave...weird."
-
"Maybe he forgot about today's tour." Chomper said.
"Or sneakeded off to Tria's warm mud pool area. He could have, he could." Ducky said nodding.
-
"That could be a possibility,' frank said.
-
Longtail sighed and looked to the sky. He then stated: "Well wherever my uncle is I'm sure he'll remember eventually...he's not the kind of dinosaur to forget such an important..."
Before Longtail could finish his sentence however Cyrix came bounding through the trees, looking tired and out of breath as if he'd run across the entire valley to get here. Longtail then asked:
"Uncle Cyrix? What kept you?"
The rainbow face gave a nervous smile as he replied "Hehe...well you see after your wake up call this morning...I drifted back to sleep, and well you can guess my surprise when I learned how late it was, so I ran here all the way from our cave to catch up."
-
"Cyrix this is frank the son of elmstem,' the male rainbowface said to cryix.
-
Cyrix smiled and bowed as he replied, "Well it's very nice to meet you Frank. I am Longtail's uncle and mentor."
-
"It's good to meet you too,' frank said
-
"I saw Elm last night with Frank" Littlefoot spoke as they head to the enterance.
Female Rainbow Face looked at Frank "How big is the complex? within the Great Wall" she asked about the size of the Complex
-
"It's about 200 square km,' frank said to the female rainbow face.
-
Ducky looked at the speaker, "Is that large? How long is a keloomator? She asked mispronouncing the new word.
"Maybe bigger then Great Valley." Petrie said.
"Likely large enough for them to do their mischief in and hide things." Cera said.
"And store things in some of their caves like some of you flat teeth store leaves in caves before the cold time comes." Chomper said.
(ooc: I assume some do this since I think the the 8th movie Cera's dad mentioned if Mr. Thicknose had told them earlier they could have put some away, or something like that.)
-
"A kelometeris pretty big not as big as the Great Valley when we first came here before we unfroze you I flew over and measured that the Great Valley was at least 400 kelometers and yes there are some who cause mischief in the base,' frank said. "And Yes chomper we store a lot of things in the base,' frank said.
-
Chomper thinks a moment, "Sounds like it is about half the size of the Great Valley. That is still very large." He said amazed at the size.
Petrie looked at Frank, "You can fly with no wings. You teach Cera to do that. Me like to see that." Petrie said looking over at Cera.
Cera shook her head, "Oh no, I'm keeping my 4 feet firmly on the ground. " Cera said.
"Me remember you no like ride on Elsie." Petrie said.
"It was fun, it was, it was." Ducky said nodding, having enjoyed the ride on Elsie.
"Yea, well not everyone enjoyed it." Cera said a bit annoyed at the memory, having felt seasick, though not knowing the word since some dinos likely didn't have a word for that.
-
As frank walked through the door he said to petrie "Nah I don't think the G-suit would fit her'.
-
Lisa stood at the entrance now "We could chit chat inside you know, leaving the door wide open like this is going to ask for trouble" Lisa said to Frank in a firm tone.
Female Rainbow Face nods "Yes she has a point, we been talking outside and leaving your Complex door wide open for the whole valley to see and you do not want some to see or they think it some sort of magical domain and grab something that they wish to misuse for their own selffish means" she spoke to Frank as she recalled that the stone of cold fire even it was nothing more then a rock showed that some would go to great lengths to be on top of the world.
-
"Or someone may wonder in and hurt themselves, they may, they may." Ducky said nodding.
"Or be scareded." Petrie said, thinking how he may feel about the place if he had flown into the open cave without knowing what was really inside and seeing the complex for the first time.
-
Longtail smiled as he replied, "Even if someone other than us were to find this door...I don't think they'd be silly enough to just walk in...unless they were just really dumb, and I can think of a few dinosaurs that might be just dumb enough to try."
Longtail then stepped through the open door and smiled.
-
"Yea, I can think of 3. Hyp and his 2 friends." Cera said.
Chomper started to walk towards the door, with Spike close behind him. Spike was curious if things looked the same as before, and what the new areas looked like and if they had interesting things to eat in there.
"Looks like Spike is interested to get the tour started, he is he is." Ducky said. Spike nodded to what Ducky said, licking his lips at the memory of some things he had tasted inside before.
-
"let me guess Hyp is a trouble maker,' frank asked cera.
-
"Well he and his friends like to be right all the time and like to tess us alot" Littlefoot said as he went in and Lisa made sure everyone was in then push the button closing the hatch up locking it in place.
Lisa looked at her pad lifting some sheets then see the information "Startor followed the three by these names a few months ago. Hyp, Mutt and Nod. The three from a weeks worth of watching was caught causing some sort of trouble 28 times" Lisa said looking at the report that Startor gathered.
-
"Hmm well it's not nice to do such things but I'm sure that you could come to an agreement with him,' frank said.
-
Ducky nodded, "They are troublemakers, and bullies too, they are, they are."
"They almost as scary as Cera's dad, or sharptooth, mean sharptooth." Petrie said looking at Chomper.
"Yea, they like to chase folks who are smaller, and do mean things to them. Like the time they were chasing us and we found those fastbiter eggs in that cave." Chomper said.
-
"Hmm they sound really bad,' frank said.
-
Longtail frowned and said, "Hey wait...why haven't I ever met them yet? I've been here for a while and...oh forget it...I'll met them eventually." As he continued to walk into the complex.
-
Startor came up to them hearing them talk about Hyp and his friends "Are they up to no good again?" she said with a slight frown "Seriously I have never met or seen such misbehaved kids in my life..."
-
Ducky nods, "they are, they are. Hip once said he'd see to it we never grow up, he did, he did." Ducky said.
"They can be mean. But Mutt can be nice, if he is by himself." Chomper said, remembering his adventure of carrying the fast biter egg with Mutt's help.
"They are just a bunch of bullies, just wait till we are bigger then them, then they'll act different." Cera said with a Cera type of smile on her face.
"Me scared even hear Hyp name." Petrie said.
-
"Well I've met some kids like them before,' frank said.
-
"Still it's always good to try to make peace with someone,' frank said after a few moments of scilence.
-
"It doesn't always work." Cera said.
"One should try though, they should." Ducky said. Spike nodded agreeing with Ducky.
-
'As humans we haven't always talked out our differences,' frank said with a look of sadness on his face.
-
Longtail sighed as well as he said, "yeah, well we dinosaurs aren't much different...we tend to argue alot...about such small and silly things."
-
Cera looked annoyed, "Yea, especially grown ups. If it were not for us kids the water may never have been returned to the great valley since only we went to see what the problem was. Ducky would never have been rescued. If we waited for the grown ups to stop arguing." Cera said.
"They do argue a lot." Ducky said nodding.
"We may argue, but at least we get the important things done." Cera said. Spike nodded.
"Me no like adults arguing." Petrie said.
"Yea, it does seem a bad idea. I don't think my mommy or daddy argued. They did what needed doing if they could." Chomper said.
-
As the elvator doors opened frank said "Well you could say adults think that arguing gets things done faster'.
-
"I think the grown ups should sit down and let us kids run things for a while. They may learn how to get things done without constantly arguing. I bet if I were in danger or was kidnapped daddy would rather argue then save me." Cera said with annoyance & anger on her face then she lightened up and looked at her friends, "but at least I could count on my friends to save me." She said.
-
'Yes friendship is always good to have,' frank said. "Friends are there to help you when you need them or when you need help,' frank said remembering his friends both living and dead.
-
"This is your host dj Blaze here taking your song requests,' mitch said over the intercom. "Ah I forgot about this,' frank said. "Forgot about what,' the male rainbow face asked. "Mitch has a raido program here that takes song requests,' frank answered. "We got a request for The US Air Force Blues from Lt Baker well Lt Baker this one's for you,' mitch said as he put the record on.
-
Petrie flew up to where the sounds seemed to be coming from and hovered in front of it." Him tiny to fit in there." Petrie said looking at the spot where the sound was coming from."
"Maybe he is small smaller then the tiny long necks." Ducky said.
-
"He's in a different room that's one thing that humans have done we're able be projects sounds from a place over a intercom system,' frank said. "Well it seems to be a crude speaking device nothing like ours where you can see the person putting the song on or when you need to talk to someone,' the male rainbwface said. frank began to sing along with the song at the second verse "Oh they are men with a dream on America team they're a rugged and ready crew and you can bet your boots the world looks up to US air force blue to US air force blue they know where they're gpoing they set their course the sky's no limit in the air force'.
-
"Device used to talk far away. Neat." Petrie said.
"A farspeaker." Cera said, giving the device a name that sounded like it made sense to her.
"It is neat, it is it is." Ducky said.
-
Frank began on the final few lines of the song "And gave it to the men who proudly wear the US air force blue and you can wear it too the US air force blue'. "so when was the song written,' the male rainbow face asked. "1957,' frank answered.
-
As the elevator reached the observetry deck Frank pointed out an aircraft in the hanger out to petrie "That was how I measured how big the great valley was,' frank said pointing to a aircraft with a wide body a a flat nose. "The SU-32 fullback also known as the platapus I fitted it with a range of measurement gear to it to measuere the Great Valley,' frank said.
-
A Engineer stood by the plane doing some maintance checks then see them "Ah I see you brought our special VIPs to the Hanger old dog" he said with a smirk "Now don't touch anything VIPs and sorry for the mess, we doing some replacements of the plane here since she is a old girl and that without replacing these parts would make this poor old bean fall to pieces" the Engineer said to them.
Littlefoot look over to Frank and whispers "What is a VIP and why is he talking like that?" Littlefoot had to ask really confused what he was saying in some parts.
-
Petrie flew over closer to the plane without touching it. "look like big flier, kind of. How old?" He asked.
Cera looked at the plane from where she was, "It looks like as big or bigger then the flier that flew us back to the Great Valley from the place where the flying rock landed." Cera said.
-
"He means the condition of the plane when I bought her in 2009 she had been realy abused by her previous owner,' frank said. "Littlefoot VIP means very important person you guys could be consitered very important people,' frank wispered to littlefoot. "So when is my plane going to be flight ready,' frank asked the mechanic inciding the friendly rivalry between pilots and mechanics that had started in WWI and still continued through the generations.
-
"abuse, he hit it like Hip likes do." Petrie said. "It look to big to hit." He said looking the plane over.
"Or shouts like daddy likes to do." Cera said with a sad look on her face, remembering how he liked to shout and sometimes at her.
-
"Well you can hit it but your knuckles would hurt a lot but the previous owner mainly let it fall into disrepair when I bought the engines were clogged the plane was begining to rust it took a lot of time and effort to restore and it still has some rust on the inner parts of the plane something I didn't know when I measured the Great Valley but found out on landing,' frank said.
-
There are other aircraft here like this one,' frank said patting the side of the plane. "It's called the F-22 Raptor it's the one that I was flying and the one your father heard cera,' frank said.
-
"Indeed, this will be flight ready in 2 days once the final replacement parts arrive from the port Frank. Also I heard there is a airstripe that been built over the midlands of this landmass where there is a large land break right around it making it impossible for any dinosaurs on land to go to and no flying dinosaur been through that area also part from one caught looking around the airfield" The mechanic said to him
"I believe the name was Ptereno or something like that, some sort of odd name. Old bean" he goes over to the computer and activate the video link of the air base known as Omega Complex it looked like a large rocky formation with the stripe being a dirt trail "As you see sir this is Omega Complex the most inner one that i just heard and their leader..." the screen changes to a man wearing a uniform with alot of awards attached to his coat. "Ah Mr Johnston I was just about to speak about you to Franks."
"THank you" Johnston spoke then turn to Frank then saw the kids "So that Petrie" he look right at the little flyer "I gather you know this fellow" he moves to the side a bit showing a adult flying sitting down at a table eating on some fresh berries and talking to the guards in his story style form.
-
"Yes it's a secondary airbase in case the runway here is unservicable and yeah I know him,' frank said.
-
Petrie flew closer to the monitor, "Uncle?" He said not sure if it was his uncle or not or if it really could be.
"It does look like him, it does, it does." Ducky said, who had gotten very good looks at Pterano, rather frightening ones at first.
"How far is that from here?" Cera asked.
"So that is what Petrie's Uncle Pterano looks like. Gee, he looks kinda like Petrie." Chomper said.
Cera turned to look at Chomper, What would you expect him to look like, Littlefoot?" Cera said in her mild sarcastic voice.
"Gee, that would be different." Chomper said, not noticing Cera's sarcasm.
"And it would be very confusing too, it would, it would." Ducky said.
-
"Yes petrie it is your uncle he's not too far from here he two levels down in the detention level where the security HQ is,' frank said. "We just want to know why he was flying around our new airbase we're now currently waiting for his lawyer to arrive,' frank said.
-
"He's probably up to something. You can't trust him." Cera said. "Just like last time."
"He sorry for what he do." Petrie said getting a bit angry at Cera.
"Maybe he was then and maybe not. He'll never change. He may be working for himself, or he may be working for that bad guy... whatzhisname." Cera said.
"You to do not fight. Fighting will do no good, no it will not." Ducky said.
"I bet he's telling more of his crazy stories." Cera said.
-
"Well we'll find out when his lawyer arrives,' frank said turning the speaker to the interrorgation room on. Just as frank finished his sentence a young man with a captians uniform on walked into the room with pterano. "Execuse me mr Pterano I'm captian Wolfgang Schultz I'll be beside you during the interrorgation,' Wolfgamg said.
-
"Do you understand the charges against you mr Pterano,' the interrorgator asked pterano.
-
(Who'll be pterano?)
-
(Can I play him? i've always wanted to RP as Petries uncle)
-
(If you want to go ahead)
-
(I am cool with that :) )
"We will get back to you Frank, continue your tour with your young guests" Johnston then press a button and the screen showing them closes down
"Now do what you need to do but do not give him pressure or harm him, I will be watching from behind the glass" Johnston steps out of the room closing the door.
----
"I guess Pterano was just wondering around when he came across it, not seeing anything like it before started looking around. I know I did when I first fell into that underground valley" Littlefoot said to his friends and Frank.
-
Pterano gave a gruff nod of his head as he mumbled something under his breath. He didn't want to start and argument here, but he couldn't help but feel like something wasn't right about this interrogation at all. He then waited for his lawyer to present his case.
_____________
Longtail sighed as he said, "Well I personally don't see why no one trusts Pterano, I'm sure if given the chance, he'd show everyone how much he's changed. Isn't that right Petrie?"
-
Petrie nods, "He sorry for what he do." Petrie nodded with his conviction plain in his voice and on his face. "he show he change."
"We'll see." Cera said, not believing Pterano had changed at all but that he was up to his old ways again. "They better keep a close eye on him just the same." Cera said.
"If he is being interrungeded, why littlefoot no get?" Ducky asked.
Cera smiled, "Maybe he looked to cute." She said kidding Littlefoot. Spike giggled a bit at Cera's comment.
-
Littlefoot felt kind of embarrested by that comment but choice to speak on but Helm came up into the hanger and spoke "Your just a child, his not. But he will be freed after the investagation though"
"Ok, that good to know for Petrie" Littlefoot said looking over at Petrie.
-
"& banish him for another 5 cold times? Where are his 2 buddies anyway." Cera said.
Petrie: "They no buddies."
-
"If your uncle alone would that mean his left them or they left him" Littlefoot said to Cera and agreed with Petrie.
-
"When me last see them booming mountain go boom and blow them to rock ledge. " Petrie said.
"They were mean flyers, they were, they were." Ducky said with Spike nodding in agreement.
-
Pterano was getting impatcent and asked aloud, "Can we get this silly trial over with...I'm beginning to get tired of standing here doing nothing...or is that what all you 'humans' do all day?!"
~~~~~
Longtail sighed at Pterano's outburst and replied "That's gonna cost him."
-
"Why you think it will? Petrie asked.
Ducky continued to watch, "He may be bored, he may. That may be why he say those things." She said nodding.
"I'd have to say for once he sounds right, though he should wait till after the trial to start saying those things." Cera said.
"Gee, I hope he'll be ok." Chomper said hoping the Pterano person would be ok.
Spike was sniffing in the direction of the plane. He'd not smelled anything like that before, all the different unusual scents, rubber, plane fuel (if any were stored in the plane, or nearby) and other things.
-
"Mr Pterano as your lawyer I suggest you don't yell out like that again,'Wolfgang said.
"What were you doing over a restricted area of the base,' the interrorgator asked leaning foward.
A young pilot walked up to the group "Exexuse me where could I find General Anderson,' he asked.
-
Petrie shrugged, "Me no know, maybe he eating breakfast. Or eating it with leader of here. Me see grownups sometimes eating breakfast while talking."
Ducky nodded, "Yep, yep, yep, I have also. I've seen Mommy sometimes talking with nearby swimmer grown ups or Petrie's mommy or one or both of Littlefoot's Grandparents."
-
Frank turned his head "Yes captian What is it your need,' frank asked.
the captian stood ther before saying I wasn't expecting I I mean I had heard but I thought that it was just a rumor that'.
"That I have the tail of a dinosaur,' frank asked.
"You could say that,' the captian said.
-
Pterano gave a huff of irritation and simply stood still and nodded his head once again and replied "Alright, but can we please hurry this up. I'd like to see my nephew some time today."
-
"And you will I assure you,' the interrorgator said we just wondering if your working for DIG and were on a spy mission'.
-
With that reassurance Pterano sighed and said, "I am telling you. I was simply returning from my five cold time banishment. As I passed above the only reason I stopped to look was the light shining off ground caught my attention...I swear." He took a short pause and then continued.
"Besides I don't even know what this DIG operation is...I promise."
~~~~~~~~~~~
Longtail at that moment smiled and said, "Heh...I really think he's telling the truth."
-
Frank listened to pterano's BP and heart beat which he had found out he could do 2 weeks earlier before saying "Yeah he is telling the truth'.
"So You listened to his heartbeat and BP,' the male rainbowface asked. "How did you know that,' frank asked. "We rainbowfaces can do these things,' the male rainbow face answered.
-
"If you want a tail too maybe he can give you one too." Ducky said.
-
"No I'd prefer not having one,' the captian said.
-
Longtail looked to Frank and the Male Rainbow face as he asked, "So that's how my Uncle Cyrix was always able to tell I was lying. I never thought a rainbow face could do that. I've got to remember that."
~~~~~~~
Pterano sighed as he tried to relax and waited for his name to be cleared.
-
Frank got on his raido "Hey Blaze you got it's a long way to tipperary,' he asked. "I sure do do I sense a request for it,' mitch replied. "You could say that,' frank said. "Well I'll put it on for you raptor,' mitched replied before turning on intercom on "We just got a request from general Anderson for it's a long way to tipperary so this one's for you buddy,' mitch said before putting the song on.
-
Ducky looks at the speaker the music is coming from, "I guess you like having the music playing a lot." She said curiously.
"I think it's kinda neat." Chomper said smiling, liking the idea of music.
"At least it's better then one of Hyp's songs." Ceera said with an annoyed look on her face as she remembered hearing one of Hyp's songs she had heard before.

"This was one of the top hits when I served in WWII,' frank said. A number of the mechanics and pilots including frank began singing loudly "It's a long way to Tipperary it's a long way to war It's a long way to Tipperary from the sweetest girl I know good bye piccadilly farewell leicster square! It's a long long way to tipperary but my hearts right there'.
Wolfgang sighed "Pilots,' he said since there were two levels down and could he the signing.
-
Longtail began to nod his head as he listened to the music, and started to flap his wings in rhythm with the music.
-
"It is very nice, it is, it is." Ducky said, starting to hum in tune to it. Chomper started to hum the tune as well.
-
As the song ended mitch said into the intercom "That was it's long way to tiperary comming up next is is our Q&A session where we discuss several battles that looked promising in the planning stages but utterly failed on the battlefield'.
-
Longtail looked confused as he asked, "What's a Q&A? I've never heard that before."
_________________
Pterano then asked, "Okay, so if I'm not a part of this DIG you all keep referring to then why am I still here?"
-
Maybe it is when grown ups get together and argue." Ducky said.
-
"It's a question and answer session where several questions are asked and anwers are recieved,' frank said.
-
Longtail nodded his head as it was much easier to understand. He then asked, "So when are we going to get to answer any of the questions while we wait for Petrie's uncle to be done?"
-
"Here's our first caller tell us what is your question,' mitch asked. "Yeah this is baker from engineering I was just wondering how you felt during the Normandy invasion,' baker asked. "Well I felt proud since it started the march to Berlin and led to the liberation many opressed people and would end the war when we got to Berlin,' mitch replied.
-
"Kinda sounds like a neat thing." Chomper said smiling as he continued to look at the speaker.
"Oh yes, it is interesting." Ducky said nodding in agreement to what Chomper said.
-
"Yeah it was,' frank said. but still many young men died to liberate Europe,' frank said.
-
"Wolfgang will lead you to the level where your nephew mr pterano,' the interrorgator said.
-
Pterano threw up his wings as he replied:
"Finally!" He then turned to Wolfgang and nodded his head. "Thank you, please lead the way." He commented as he took one last look around the interrogation room. 'Hope I never have to come back here again!' thought Pterano to himself.
-
"It sounds sad, it does it does." Ducky said with a sad look on her face about the talk concerning the battle and folks dieing. .
Petrie then heard what they said about his uncle. "Me uncle free?" He asked looking around at Frank with hope on his face that he had heard correctly.
"If he is it sounds neat." Chomper said.
"Yea, great." Cera said slightly sarcastically and keeping her feelings to herself.
-
"Yeah it is sad ducky,' frank said. "Petrie you uncle is free Wolfgang is bringing him up here as we speak,' frank said.
-
Petrie started to jump up and down happily. "Me get to see uncle again." he said happily.
"That is good." Chomper said, "But why wasn't he living in the Great Valley this whole time?" Chomper asked, curious and wondering why.
Cera looked at Chomer, though she had her doubts about Pterano's changing, she didn't want to spoil Petrie's mood and he had saved Ducky at the end. "Let's just say he did something wrong and had to leave for a while." Cera said.
-
"Our second question is from Joe in the cafe,' mitch said as he began to read the note handed in "Is it true that you were ordered to shoot down general Anderson if he treid to land in Germany during WWII, well Joe though it is true that our squad was under such an order we never had to carry it out'.
-
The elavator stopped and the doors opened "Your nephew is right this way through that door mr pterano,' Wolfgang said stepping into the inner runway area.
-
sam paced the floor "If they are developing a plane I think we should take the one NEA are working on so we have the parts we need,' he thought to himself.
-
Pterano smiled and nodded his head as he stepped out of the elevator.
"Thank you very much Wolfgang." He then stepped up to the door, and as he turned the knob on the door he wondered what his nephews reaction would be...not knowing Petire already knew he was here.
-
"I certainly hope we don't have long to wait." Cera said, not liking to wait for anything.
"We can only wait as long as is needed, we can not wait any less, no we can not." Ducky said shaking her head. Not liking to wait, but understanding that some waiting needs to happen at times.
-
Frank turned his head and saw pterano and said "I don't think we'll have to wait very long for your uncle petrie'.
-
Petrie looked over at frank with a mix of impatience & hope with some longing as well, "Me hope not, me do miss him."
-
"I understand that feeling,' frank said.
-
Pterano smiled as he stpped though the door and said, "hello children! How have you all been?"
Longtail turned as Ptearno opened the door and he smiled as he looked over to Petrie and smiled.
-
Wen Petrie heard his uncle's voice he smiled as he launched himself into the air and flew at his uncle, "Uncle, me mess you." He said, he got to his uncle and hugged him, "Me glad you come back. Me no forget you." He said happy his uncle was back finally.
-
Ptearno hugged Petire back and said, "I've missed you to nephew! I'm glad to see you're safe." He then looked over to the other young ones and smiled "Why Littlefoot and Cera how are you two doing?"
-
Littlefoot smiled "I'm doing fine, I am glad you was cleared" Littlefoot turn to Frank "How many of these Human complexs are there on this land?" Littlefoot asked with wonder liking to know how many there are.
-
"There are about 15 different ones scattered around the island,' frank said.
-
"I'm doing find and you?" Cera said, not thrusting Pterano, but seeing no reason why she should not be civil and nice, he was being nice and he may have changed after all.
"15, that sounds like a lot, it does it does." Ducky said.
"Yea, quite a lot, with many people in them." Chomper said. Thinking it was a lot and must be hard to keep all those people running things well.
Petrie continued to hug his uncle, "You stay, not go away again?" He asked him hoping he was going to stay this time.
-
"Well since he's off the hook I beleive he will be staying,' frank said.
-
Pterano gave a wide smile.
"Yes nephew, I'm staying. Honestly I don't want to be anywhere else right now but here with you and your friends." He then turned to Littlefoot and Cera as he replied, "I'm doing just fine. And yes I'm glad I was cleared as well." He then locked eyes with Cera for a moment and said mentally 'she still doesn't trust me...its clear, but I don't blame her.'
-
"Me glad." Petrie said happy to hear his uncle was going to stay and possibly be with them for the tour. "You on tour too?" He asked.
Ducky shrugged, "Why not, like my mommy say often what is 1 more."
-
"I don't see any problem with it, what do you think startor,' frank asked. "So Pterano what do you think of our mechanical flyers otherwise known as airplanes,' frank asked pterano.
-
"They can travel very fast right Frank? but why do they make such a loud noise?" Littlefoot said then wondered about the loud sound that made from them.
-
Pterano nodded his head and replied, "Those air-planes you called them. They are very unique, and far faster than any natural born flyer I know of." He then thought of a question.
"Have you used these air planes since you came here Frank?"
-
'They are loud because there engines are designed that way,' frank said to littlefoot. "Pterano I've been flying these since 1939 I first experienced combat flying in a place called Pearl Harbor in december in 1941 but we didn't have these,' frank said patting the side of a F-15C before walking to another plane "We flew this kind of plane,' he said patting the side of a P-51 "Propeller driven aircraft from 1903 to 1945 these were the dominate aircraft of the skies before jet aircraft took that place,' frank said before taking a few breaths .
-
"I guess everything changes over time." Cera said, not liking the idea of change much.
-
"Yeah everything does,' frank said.
-
"Yeah things does kind of change over time, I seen that only for a short time, it amazing what I seen" Littlefoot said recalling some of the strange and amazing events that he and his friends been through.
-
"Yea, it's kind of annoying, why can't things sometimes just stop changing sometimes?" Cera asked annoyed.
"If things never changed fun things could not happen, no, no, no. We may sleep forever, or run forever." Ducky said.
"Me no think that good." Petrie said.
"Or take a bath forever." Chomper said. Spike was thinking he may not mind eating from 1 bush forever, but some variety would still be nice.
-
"Well I guess change is just the way of life,' frank said.
-
"Well change can also be a very good thing too...it gives others a chance to see where they have made mistakes and gives them a chance to fix them." commented Pterano on his own actions from the past.
Longtail smiled at all this talk of change and asked, "So, some change is good, but what about too much change...can it be a bad thing?"
-
"yeah like the changes I made to my commercial air services after the Tenerife disaster cause there is a large number of civillian airplanes and I wanted all the ones that landed in my country to be safe,' frank said.
-
"I guess change is something one has to get use to." Chomper said.
Ducky nods, "I guess like most things, some change is good and some is not." She said.
-
"Yeah I guess that is the way of things,' frank said.
-
Littlefoot look to Frank "When the big flooding happened to the humans did it change your way of life very fast and sudden?" Littlefoot asked
-
"I do hope there were some floating things and logs for some folks to ride on, I do, I do." Ducky said.
"Or flying things." Petrie said.
"A bunch of new water is never a good thing." Cera said. Though she did remember they had met Mo that way, in general it had messed up the Great Valley & changed it, in her opinion.
-
Longtail smiled at Cera's response and said:
"Yeah, but that's only if you can't swim! And I can."
Pterano then noticed Longtail for the first time.
"Petrie who is your friend here?" he asked pointing to Longtail
-
Frank looked at littlefoot before saying "Yes it did it brought another war to the world that started in my country Ostia,' frank said. "It was started by Velka our neighboring country to the east I lost my daughter that day and I lost my two sons in the final days of the war and I lost two very old and dear friends in the final days of the war as well I last saw them going down in flames and ducky there were floating things humans call them submarines and surface vessels machines built for war there are some civillian surface ships but there are few left now a days and there were a lot of aircraft like these flying around,' frank said patting the nose cone of a F-14D.
-
Petrie looked to where his uncle was pointing, "Him Longtail & a friend. He have rainbowface name Cyrix as uncle." Petrie said. "He come to valley after you had left." Petrie said.
-
"And we're back to the music requests people and it seems we have a request for the theme from the movie Das Boot from an anynomus scientist we who ever you are this one's for you,' mitch said on the intercom.
-
Sam got on a raidoed big boss "sir would it be alright if I send an agent to steal NEA's new plane,' sam asked.
-
Pterano smiled.
"Well then its very nice to meet you Longtail. And i look forward to meeting your uncle as well."
Longtail in return bowed.
"Thank you. Its nice to meet you to Petries uncle. I heard how you saved Ducky's life...that was very noble of you."
Pterano flinched as he asked, "Did anyone tell you why I had to save Ducky?"
Longtail smiled a wide grin.
"Nope...just that you saved Ducky and brought her back to the valley. That's all I need to know."
-
"Then the big flier flew Spike, Littlefoot and me back to the Great Valley. That was the biggest flyer I've ever seen. I didn't know they had any kind that big." Cera said, still amazed at how large the flyer was.
Spike nodded remembering the huge flyer. He had only really seen ones around the size of Pterano and Petrie's mother before.
"He is big, he is , he is." Ducky said.
-
"Well there are also some very large airplanes bigger than the ones here,' frank said.
-
"Negivate Sam, they have increased their guard over all top projects since the screaw up of that idiot" Big Boss said back calmly "If we was to send one of our agents in he or she be caught way before they reach the hangers now."
-
"Copy that do we have any agents in the base that have access,' sam asked.
-
Pterano looked shocked.
"You surely must be joking! Bigger than the ones I've seen...impossible! I ask to be show as soon as it is possible."
Longtail however smiled.
"Oh, the bigger planes, can they carry others like you or us too? cause that would be fun!"
-
"I ain't joking pterano,' frank said. Frank walked over to a hanger door between the SU-32 and a F-15 "seargent give me a hand will you,' frank asked. the two pushed the door open which lead to the hanger with the bigger aircraft.
-
"Me want see." Petrie said, curious to see any larger flying devices then he had seen in the hanger.
"I would like to see one also, I would, I would."
"I guess one of the larger ones was used to carry Littlefoot's mother?" Chomper asked.
-
With the door fully opened the first plane that was seen had a large dish on the top of the plane "That one right there is the E-767 AWACS Airbore-Warning-And-Control-System it has a larger radar to help with the control of other aircraft in it's flight area,' frank said.
-
"So it can take them over and make them do what it wants?" Chomper asks a bit amazed at the size and what it could do that.
"Certainly would be handy." Cera said, getting ideas on how handy that could be.
-
"In a way it does but the pilot of the whatever plane is under it's command it really just gives them orders it acts like a parent would to their kids,' frank said.
-
Frank pointed to a plane with a long tube in the back of the plane "This one is called the KC-767 the one right next to it is the KC-135 they are both tanker aircraft so they carry extra fuel for other aircraft in it's operational area,' frank said.
-
"That sounds very useful, it is, it is." Ducky said finding the idea useful.
-
Pterano was slack jawed at the sight of the bigger airplanes and it was obvious as he hadn't said anything since he'd stepped into the hanger. Finally after several more seconds he found his voice.
"H-h-how...is..how is this..possible?!" He then looked to Frank and stuttered:
"MORE fuel...this is amazing!!! I can't begin to imagine how fast these planes can fly!"
Longtail whistled in amazement and said, "Geez, those are huge! I'd hate to be racing against one of those things! And Guardians forbid you get caught up under those giant wheels."
-
"Well humans have been know to be dreamers ever since man saw birds fly he wanted to do the same there have been some very laughable attempts through history only at the begining of th 20th century was he sucessful but still as a species humans have not always used their knowelge wisely,' frank said. He turned to longtail "Yeah it would not be good if you got caught under the wheels,' frank said before turning his head to look at the 747 parked next to the AWACS.
-
Ducky nods with the look of fear in her voice, "Yep, like a grown up long neck stepping on you, that would be bad, it would."
"Young Longneck Littlefoot stepping on you no fun either." Petrie said.
"Well, having a Spiketail sit on you wouldn't be any more fun." Cera said remembering part of a song they had sung a while back about bad luck.
-
"Yes I don't imagine those are pleasent either and I was wondering if you could answer a question during the time before you found out about us you mentioned a species by the name of yellowbelly could you tell us about them,' frank asked.
-
Ducky nods, "They live in berry valley."
"They really really like berries." Petrie said remembering them.
"They are ok, if you like the silly sort of folks that they are." Cera said, not wanting to admit to someone else that she started to enjoy being with them after a while.
Spike started to hum the yellowbelly bounce song. He had enjoyed dancing with them.
-
"Huh they remind me of someone I once knew,' frank said.
-
"They like to sing and dance." Ducky said.
"And are very silly." Cera said.
"And fun." Petrie said.
"Last we heard they lived in Berry Valley." Cera said.
-
"Hmm they do sound like my old friend Gunther Zimmerman,' frank said.
-
"He likes berries and to sing silly fun songs, and dance?" Ducky asked.
-
Big Boss took a thought "Yes but his been in surface for us in 10 years..." Big Boss said not noting it was his own son. "LT Neal and his only to find out a little bit more on it on the safe side, I won't lose any more agents to your errors. ONe more Sam and I will personally deal with you myself... in the most serious manner you can never think of" then ends the comm.link
Ice turn hearing the last part "Wow someone seems to be in a bad mood" Ice said to Sam.
----
"I don't think a human would go that far to be like them... would they?" Littlefoot said and asked with a unsure look on his face about it
-
"Well war can have an effect like that on some people,' frank said.
------------
"Yeah it does ice,' sam said.
-
Longtail laughed and said, "I'd like to meet the Yellowbellies. They sound like they know how to have fun!"
Pterano smiled.
"They do sound like an...interesting group of dinosaurs. However, Frank have you heard from your Zimmerman friend recently?"
-
Frank shook his head "No he died during the flooding during a appointment with his pyscoligist in New York,' frank said with a small tear rolling down his face.
-
"They are fun, they are." Ducky said.
"Gee, I would like to meet them too." Chomper said smiling. "Do they live far from here?"
-
"well does anyone want to hear on when I my rainbow face features first started to appear,' frank asked.
-
Ducky looked at Frank, "I do, I do, yep, yep, yep." Ducky said nodding her head vigorously.
"ooh, I like stories." Chomper said smiling and clapping hsi hands together lightly.
"Me like to hear." Petrie said a bit excitedly.
-
"It was may of 1982 on a thursday I was sitting in my office reading a novel by Zane Grey when I heard that there was some trouble in the lab so I went down there to see what was goin on well I went in after a younger scientist told me there were still people in the lab and that the genes of the dino there which happened to belong to a dino of the raptor family well I got the other people out when I thought I saw another person so I went back in and a celling beam collapsed and ther was an explosion whcih fused the dinosaur's genes to my genes which cause me to become what you would call a fastbitter which I found out when I woke up, anyway ia few weeks later i discovered that I was slowly starting to return to normal when I noticed that I had a rainbow colored tail at first i was surprised sincefastbitters don't have rainbow colored tails and I also found out that I could and still can speak' frank said before clearing his throat and coughing twice "the language of sharpteeth,' frank said in sharptooth. He tcoughed again and said normally 'But I really don't have anyone else in NEA to speak with in sharptooth.'
-
Ducky, Petrie, & Chomper sat down to listen to Frank's story while Spike lay down. Cera sat down with the others after they had sat down.
"You teach others sharptooth." Petrie said.
"Or talk to me in sharptooth, or my mommy and daddy." Chomper said.
-
"That is true chomper,' frank said before turning to petrie. "Petrie it's not really that easy to teach a other humans and leafeaters to speak sharptooth,' frank said.
-
Littlefoot wondered about what Frank said and then asked "Is there more of your Rainbow Face features showing yet? or is it going to happen all suddenly?"
-
"Will it be poof, all at once?" Petrie asked.
"That could be quite a surprise if it were poof, it would, it would."
-
"I think it will be all at once,' frank said.
-
"How long till your birthday Frank?" female Rainbow Face asked him since she had a throey.
-
Ducky looks a little concerned as an idea occurs to her, "You won't go boom when you change will you?"
"That maybe scary, and loud." Petrie said. Not liking the idea of the boom, remembering what smoking mountain was like.
-
"It will be in 5 days,' frank replied to the female rainbow faces question..
-
Longtail was curious after hearing the story and asked, "Wait, if its so hard to teach other humans and flatteeth for that matter how to speak sharptooth, then why can I do it so easily?"
Pterano smiled.
"This is indeed worthy of celebration Frank. You should be very proud."
-
"Well I think it has something to do with your being half sharptooth longtail,' frank said. He turned to pterano "Yes I am very proud of it pterano,' frank said.
-
"Going to have a party on your birthday? Gosh, sounds like fun. Who'll be there?" Chomper asked.
"I'd guess anyone who'd not be to shocked at a human turning into a rainbowface." Cera said, not thinking that would be to many humans.
-
Female Rainbow seem to be counting with using one claw hand on the other for a second or two then thinking about something rubbing her lower part of the snout then turn to Frank "You won't just change suddenly since that would most likely kill you, the tail was a result of that accient so it sped up the process around that area, you most likely was in pain for days" she said to him "And I know since Helm let me have a look at reports on medicle about you"
Then she continued "If my sums are correct you will change slowly over the next 5 days, by tomorrow morning you would find that you be noticing changes and will go on till your birthday when the changes finish. So expect some differcults in the next few coming days" Female Rainbow Face said to him.
"Wow so he will change slowly over the next 5 days?" Littlefoot looked at her.
"Most certainly" she replied calmly "It a process that will have the mind and body cope with the changes with the most minimum of pain. Enough for the body not to go into shock"
-
"Well that's good,' frank said. "Well my wingman mitch will be there and a few other people chomper,' frank said.
-
Longtail tiltled his head as he asked, "Will we be there too Frank? I would like to celebrate your birthday with you."
Pterano smirked and replied, "We may not be able too Longtail, the humans are from what I've seen, rather shy, and sometimes ignorant of the truth. No offense Frank."
-
"None taken but mitch isn't one to be ignorant but some of us are shy and ignorant but I might be able to arrange it for you guys to be there,' frank said.
-
Ducky squinched up her face thinking. She thought for a bit before she spoke. "If some are shy, then maybe you can have 2 parties. 1 for only humans and one for us and those humans who do not mind seeing or being near us."
"2 parties, me like that." Petrie said.
"Gee, having 2 parties sounds like fun. I'd like to try that someday." Chomper said smiling. He liked the idea of having 2 parties, sounded like lots of fun to him.
Spike nodded, he could imagine how much food there would be at 2 parties. The image made him lick his lips.
"I don't know," Cera said not sure, "It may work though."
-
"That sounds like it may work,' frank said.
-
"What happen at these Parties?" Littlefoot asked with wonder.
-
"We celebrate a person's birthday,' frank said.
-
"Is that like a starday? We celibrated Ruby's starday before, we did, we did." Ducky said.
"Me remember, some of it scary." Petrie said remembering the scary incident that happened.
"Yea, and when we mentioned it was Ruby's starday Mr. Clubtail got all nice." Chomper said.
-
"I guess you could say that it is,' frank replied.
-
"I just miss them terrible,' frank said. "You mean you're wife and kids,' the male rainbow face asked. "Yeah,' frank said.
-
"It is painful to loose those close to you." Cera said understanding the feeling.
"It is, is, it is." Ducky said nodding.
-
"Yeah it really is,' frank said slowly nodding his head (OCC: I thought Threehorn was littlefoot)
-
Longtail at the mention of losing those close to you, turned around andshook his head whispering "And sometimes the pain never goes away....ever."
-
Frank stood there for a moment before saying "It can be very difficult to talk about such things'.
-
"Then why don't we talk about something more pleasant." Cera said looking at some of those who looked sad.
-
Professor Elm came into the hanger with Lisa pulling along two trolleys full of food "Hello children and adults alike I thought you guys be hunger about now so me and Lisa whipped up a treat for you all." Elm said with a smile
"Indeed now remove those sad faces and come on and eat" Lisa said in a cheerful tone.
Littlefoot turn to them "Wow thank you!" Littlefoot looked to the others "come on guys lets eat, they did all that for us, we should be happy to have very nice new friends!"
-
Frank picked up a ham sandwich on the first trolley "Hey do any of you want to see the inside of one of these planes,' he asked before taking a bite of his sandwich.
-
"Is there enough food for all of us, including Chomper too?" Ducky asked. "And enough for Spike, he eats a lot you know, he does."
"Yea, that is certainly true." Cera said meaning both of what Ducky said. She went over to the trolleys to see what is there.
"Oh, I'd like to see the inside of the plane." Chomper said excited.
-
"Well you'll have to hang on for a moment' frank said as he went underneith a B-52 that was parked by the E-767. Frank opened the hatch and climbed up the ladder and went up to the cockpit before flipping the bomb bay door open switch. He stuck his head out the door and said "You'll have to enter this way since most of you kids can't enter the aircraft by climbing the ladder in the front'.
-
Pterano looked to the trays of food and asked, "I'm not trying to be picky, but are there any berries on this tray? I haven't had berries in quite some time."
Longtail however was torn between eating and getting to see the inside of the airplane. In the end though he said aloud: "I can always eat later...seeing the inside of an airplane is a once in a lifetime opportunities!"
-
Frank swung back into the bomb bay and waited for the ones who aanted to see the inside of the plane to get there.
---------
"I'd like to see the inside of the plane too,' the male rainbow face said walking toward the plane.
-
"Me too." Chomper said walking towards the plane.
"Maybe we can take turns, some going to the plane and some eating, so that way we don't all crowd the plane. That may be best, it may." Ducky said.
"Me like idea." Petrie said.
-
"That does seem like a good idea,' frank said still hanging upsidedown from the bomb bay.
-
Lisa pulled out a tray "Here we go sir" Lisa hands him over a bowl of berries.
Littlefoot turn to the plane "Maybe we can get something to eat straight after looking inside it"
"Either way you choice you get to eat. Look inside now, then eat or eat then look inside either just fine children" Elm said with a smile
-
"So who's side were you on durning the Velkan war,' sam asked ice.
-
Spike headed over to where the food was, he proffered to eat first then look in the plane later.
"I"ll stay with Spike, we'll go together, we will." Ducky said as she walked alongside Spike.
"Me go with Ducky." Petrie said as he landed on Spike.
"I prefer to look first and eat later." Cera said as she walked towards where the plane was.
"I'll go too." Chomper said, since Littlefoot looked like he was going to look in the plane he'd go too.
-
"Could you give me a hand in helping the young ones into the plane,' frank asked the male rainbow face.
-------
"Yeah I guess,' the male rainbowface replied.
-
Pterano beamed as he gently took the bowl of berries from Lisa and muttered, "Thank you so much."
As Longtail stepped onto the metal boarding ramp for the plane he shuddered.
"Wow...this floor is just as cold as frozen water...but the view is certainly worth the cold! Look at it...its so...spacious, and looks big enough to fit a full grown Longneck inside.".
-
Ice looked at Sam "I wasn't on any side during that war, I was working with the Big Boss before he was called that, we was working here on this very island and I was the first to be given the chance to be one of his kind but that is a very long story" Ice said to Sam
---
Lisa nods then look to Elm "How far are you on that modified DCURE?" Lisa questioned.
"Well I figured out how to use it as part of a wrist watch device all I need is to make it and the modified DCURE is almost completed as well. I gather your dreaming about the skies again under your own power again" Elm chuckled
"Indeed only a dream sir, I got to get back work" Lisa quickly said and leaves the hanger.
Elm thought about it "hmm..." then he turns to the door "Have fun everyone i got some unfinished work." Elm leaves.
Littlefoot look over to the door "What was that about?"
-
Cera stepped onto the end of the ramp and shivered, "Wow, it certainly is cold." She said. "That must be why you wear those things on your feet." She said.
Chomper put a foot on the ramp beside Cera then put his foot back, "You're right Cera, it is very cold." He said looking at her.
-
"Well this floor is what humans would call metal so when it's cold when it's stored,' frank said swinging back upright on the cat walk.
-
"Actually after a few minutes the cold isn't so bad." said Longtail with a smile as he continued to step into the airplane. "ohhh.." were his next words as he noticed a big, bright red button on the wall and he reached out to touch it.
Pterano turned to face Littlefoot and replied, "That was something very private and important. It would be best if we kept our noses out of the way."
-
"Please don't touch that button it releases the catwalk from the plane,' frank said.
-
Cera and Chomper continued walking up the ramp. "At least it's not as slippery as hard water in the cold time." Cera said.
"Yea, it can be hard, but sliding can be fun." Chomper said.
"Until you fall down." Cera said.
Petrie, Spike and Ducky headed to where the food was.
-
"Yeah slipping on ice does hurt and for the machines that humans have created for travel on land it can be really difficult,' frank said.
-
Longtail sighed as he turned around and said to Frank "Okay...but its still a shiny red button."
He then faced Cera and Chomper "I think slipping and falling on the ice is the best part! It makes everything funny!"
-
Littlefoot came up the ramp "Wow this is big" he looked around then at Longtail "sometimes the shiny things do more harm then good. I saw that quite a few times" Littlefoot recalled some events and one that Ducky told about the SKy colour stones.
-
Chomper and Cera followed Littlefoot up the ramp.
"Wow it is large inside." Chomper said once he got to the top.
- - -
"Are you sure you have enough for Spike since he does eat a lot, he does he does." Ducky said.
-
"It'll be large enough,' frank said.
-
A female voice broke over the loud speaker "All dockyard personal report to the docks to recieve the 7th fleet repeat all dock yard personal report to the docks at once that is all'.
-
Ducky, Spike, & Petrie were looking over the food selections and had chosen what to get when they heard the voice. Ducky looked around, "What does it mean? More will be coming here? Is there enough food if more come here?" she asked.
"Not if more who eat like Spike come." Petrie said.
-
"No the men of the 7th fleet are just back from manovers so they'll be spending time with their families,' frank said.
-
"That sounds good, it does, it does. I bet they will all be happy together." Ducky said smiling at the idea.
-
"So what do you think,' frank asked the male rainbow face. "Well it is impressive but what is the plan made for,' the male rainbow face replied. "It is made for combat since it a stragtic bomber,' frank said. before walking foward a few steps before comming to a set of chairs. "This is where the navigator and bombadeir sit,' frank said.
-
Longtail who was crawling on the ceiling of the plane looked down and asked "So one person flies the plain, and the other person drops things like rocks...cool!" He then asked "Can I try to be the bombadeir and drop something?"
Pterano smiled at hearing the 7th fleet getting to be with their families. "Family is very important for everyone I believe."
-
Chomper looks around, "Sounds like it can be dangerous if the person is not careful." He said looking at the area where the bombardier sat.
"I guess it's like those flying burning rocks we've seen." Cera said.
- - - - -
Ducky finished what she was eating, "I guess they will be partying when they get to their families." Ducky said smiling at the idea.
"Family important." Petrie said agreeing with his uncle. Spike nodded agreeing with Ducky and Petrie.
-
"it can but pilots have a responsibilty of getting the entire crew back from a mission alive,' frank said.
-
Littlefoot was a bit distracted looking to the hanger doors from inside the plane they was in wondering about what the Big Boss is really up to, first he thought Big Boss might try to turn all humans into dinosaurs by force but his thoughts was on 'why did he take all the trouble to revive my mother' was running in his mind.
-
"So are there any rainbow face traditions I should know about,' frank asked the male rainbow face.
"There was once a warrior class that maintained peace but it has been a long time since it was disbanded,' the male rainbow face replied.
-
Chomper looked over at Frank, "You can also ask your dad about any family traditions he may have forgotten to tell you."
"Like talk in riddles." Cera said remembering about before.
Chomper looked at the controls he could see, without going close. "it must take a long time to learn how what does what." He said a bit amazed how complex everything looked.
-
"True but I have talked in riddles before when I was younger,' frank said.
-
"I have a story that takes place before my service in WWII do you want to hear it,' frank asked everyone in the plane.
"I'd like to hear it,' the male rainbow face said.
-
"Gee a story, I'd sure like to hear it." Chomper said nodding excited.
"A story, sure, sounds interesting." Cera said.
-
"Well I went on vacation to Germany in 1937 to see the fatherland for the first time since 1926 which was the year I moved to america I still have the pictures of me touring the country side and some of the old castles,' frank said.
-
"I remember also skying in the alps the cool air of winter and the drinking a nice cup of hot chocolate after a long day of skying,' frank said before sighing.
-
"Wow you'd did all that?" Littlefoot was amazed to hear what he did during that period in time.
-
"Wow, that is a lot that you did." Chomper said amazed.
-
Longtail was still hanging on the roof of the plane as he listened to the story, he then began to daydream about what these places might look like, and in doing so he let go of the celeing by accident and hit his head on the floor.
"I'm....okay, keep telling the story please...Frank." said Longtail with a goofy grin.
-
"Well while I was there I met a kid about my age when I was visiting Berlin we began fast friends by the time I left we started to write letters to each other but when the war began in 39 I didn't hear from him for a long time but when I was shot down over Germany in early 45 I met up with my friend again he was the commander of the POW camp where I was so we had to keep our friendship secret. He now currently works in maintence at one of the bases here,' frank said.
-
"Wow..." Littlefoot then thought about it "My Grandpa saw a old friend of his a while back and he took over being the story teller of the Great Longneck Stories." Littlefoot said remembering about that event he and Chomper was put in that time almost completly cut off from the Great Valley after chasing after his Grandpa's friend.
-
Longtail who was now sitting on the floor of the plane smiled and asked, "Are we going to get to meet your friend? That sounds like it would be fun!"
~~~~~~
Pterano smiled as he finished off the bowl of berries. He then turned and asked, "Is there anymore? I didn't seem to realize how hungry I was."
-
"This food is good, it is, it is." Ducky said with Spike nodding and licking his lips to show he had been enjoying what he had been eating.
"Petrie agree." Petrie said as he finished what he had been eating.
-
"I suppose it could be arranged for him to come here not right now but possibly in a few days when my dad thinks it's ok for the personal that don't have the proper clearence to see you guys,' frank said.
-
"I guess he could attend your human birthday party maybe." Chomper said.
-
Longtail smiled brightly and said, "Now that is a great idea Chomper!" He tunred to Frank as he asked, "Would that work for you Frank?"
~~~~
Pterano smiled at Duckys good mood. "Yes, this food is especially tasty. I'm certain all their food tates like this."
-
"Yeah that sounds like a great idea" Littlefoot smiled at the idea thinking it was really a good one indeed.
-
Longtail who was beginning to like the idea more and more asked Frank again.
"Well what do you think, can he come to your birthday party...I'm sure he'd enjoy it!"
-
"Yeah he'll be comming I know he wouldn't miss it,' frank said.
-
"I bet he and every one else will have lots of fun." Chomper said, a bit excited at the idea. "You know who you'll be inviting?" He asked Frank.
-
"Yes I'll be inviting a few of my human friends,' frank said.
-
Chomper nodded, "Sounds like a cool party." He said smiling. "Food, fun, games, and so on."
"Maybe a wild one also." Cera said.
-
"Well it can't be to wild of a party,' frank said.
-
"Since you do not like wild parties?" Chomper asked.
-
Longtail groaned.
"Aww...now wheres the fun in that?"
-
"I guess he just don't want it to go crazy incase Big Boss might try to make a move from that DIG place" Littlefoot said thinking about the bigger picture and recalling what he heard a little bit ago.
-
Longtail frowned and blushed as he realized that Littlefoot was indeed right.
"I can't believe I forgot about that...heh...I feel silly." he said with a goofy grin. But he smiled once more as he said, "But it'll still be fun!"
-
"I still wonder why he does what he does. There has to be a real reason behind it all." Chomper said.
-
"Some folks have no reason Chomper." said Longtail with a frown. "Believe me after living in the Mysterious Beyond...some just choose to do bad because they know they can get away with it." Longtail added with depressed sigh.
-
"Well it's that littlefoot but it's also that at most human parties though it's mostly at adult parties a drink called alcohol is usually served and it makes you do stupid things and since we'd be having the party with you guys after the one with my human friends I can't really drink any since it would be a bad influence,' frank said.
-
"So does any want to see the planes cockpit,' frank asked.
-
Chomper jumped up a bit, excited, "Gee I would. I bet it looks neat." Chomper said in an excited voice.
Cera shrugged, "May as well, since we're here." She said, trying to hide the fact that she would like to see it.
-
Longtail joined Chomper in his excitement.
"Yeah, that sounds like fun! Come on lets' go!" he said with a jolt of wonder and curiosity
-
Chomper jumped a bit more, "Yea, let's go right now." He said still, if not more, excited.
-
Frank kepted walking to the back of the plane until he came to a flight of stairs. "It's just up here,' frank said to the male rainbow face and the kids behind him.
-
Chomper looked up at the stairs, "Cool, let's go." He said and started to walk up the stairs.
-
Littlefoot followed them "I wonder what we going to see up there" he wondered about it
-
Cera smiled a bit mischeviously. "Maybe a one eyed monster waiting to pounce on you." Cera said looking at littlefoot with her machevious smile.
-
Longtail sighed as he flapped his wings and lifted himself up the stairs and past Cera as she made her remark. "You know that's not funny Cera." Longtail said with a mild laugh.
-
Frank stood before the control panel of the plane "well this is the cockpit,' frank said before sitting down in the pilots seat showing all the varius buttons and switches while the light came in through the windows.
-
Longtail was shocked and awed as he looked at the all the buttons. However he had enough common sense to ask Frank: "Which one starts the plane so I can stay far away from it?" he said with a nervous laugh.
-
Cera looks at Longtail, "You could always just push one and see what it does." She said a bit sarcastically.
"Gosh, I'm not sure if that is a good idea." Chomper said looking over at Cera.
Cera shook her head a bit and looked over at Chomper, "Relax, I'm sure they either fixed it so nothing would happen or they'd not let him anywhere near those sorts of things."
-
Littlefoot entered it and looked around something about the place felt like he been in one before in a strange dream he thought he'd had during the night. "It looks simliar to the one I dreamed..." he saw them all look at him "...of" he finished with a unsure look at the way they was looking at him. "What did I say?"
-
"That you saw this in a sleep story." Chomper said looking at Littlefoot & a bit confused.
"Yep, you certainly did. Going to keep the secret to yourself, or are you going to tell the rest of us?" Cera said, a bit annoyed that Littlefoot had been keeping a secret from her, and the rest of his friends.
-
"Sleep story,' frank asked somewhat confused at first before realising what littlefoot meant.
-
Longtail blinked for a moment and asked, "But Littlefoot, how could you have a sleep story about this place, when until toady we didn't know it was here?"
-
"One of his secrets." Cera said, still a bit annoyed at Littlefoot keeping a secret from her, or so she thought.
-
"Everyone has their own secrets cera,' frank said.
-
"Well I didn't expect to see something strange in my sleep story that looked like this... but there was a lot of touch things and no stick thing where that one is" Littlefoot looked to the controls "And it kind of looked very new almost like it was just been made" Littlefoot tried to explain what he saw in his dreams.
-
Cera nodded, "See, just made up stuff like in most sleep stories." She said.
Chomper thought for a bit while Littlefoot and Cera were talking, "Unless it's one that was built and not sent here yet, or one of the flying things made for the bad guy, what'shisname, that his folks use." Chomper said, voicing some ideas that he had gotten.
-
Littlefoot turn to Cera with a no so happy look "Cera there was this strange female rainbow face there. she somehow entered my sleep story but I can't tell her name and what she told me. I wish I could but if I do someone from this DIG could find out" Littlefoot told Cera and the others.
-
"Yes you do have a point littlefoot,' frank said.
-
"Maybe." Cera said, not convinced yet and not liking that Littlefoot was keeping a secret from her.
-
"It could be the ship in which your father and big boss came here frank,' the male rainbow face said. "It is possible,' frank replied.
-
"Really? is that what I saw in my sleep story?" Littlefoot was wondering about it liking to know a bit more about the ship that Frank's dad came in.
-
"Maybe you can tell him your sleep story, or tell him what the place looked like. He may know what it is." Chomper said.
-
"Yeah that might be not a bad idea." Littlefoot agreed to what Chomper said to him.
-
"If you do you'd better make sure it's in a place where no one else can overhear or listen in." Cera said, not sure of what was going on but adding in an idea she had if this big boss person was evil as he seemed he's sure to be doing sneaky things.
-
Longtail nodded at Cera's idea and responded by saying, "Now that's an idea I support! Where can we go thats quite and safe where no one will be able to listen to us?"
-
"Well it would have to be that is away from base activity but still be on the base,' frank said.
-
"Sounds like it may be a good place." Chomper said, still not sure.
"It better be." Cera said.
-
Littlefoot remembered the underground valley "Is that underground valley a safe place to talk about it at?" Littlefoot suggested
-
"Unless someone were to hide and listen." Cera said. She turned to Frank, "You and your dad have been here a while, don't one of you know some great places?" she asked.
-
"Well the repair yard for the 7th fleet is a pretty nosy place that could work,' frank said.
-
"Repair yard? what type of place is that?" Littlefoot asked never heard of such a place before.
-
"Gee, maybe that is where they go to fix themselves if one of them gets hurt, or one of their devices or things like this plane here." Chomper said.
"Sounds like a place where they repair things to me." Cera said in her typical, though friendly, voice since she didn't see a reason to overly annoy anyone.
"You don't then repair yards there do you?" Chomper asked.
-
"Yes it is a place where we repair the ships of the fleet when they're damaged,' frank said.
-
"Would that be the best place to talk about my sleep story without anyone else listening in on it that we don't want to hear it?" Littlefoot look to Frank with a guess that this place could be a good place to speak about the dream without anyone other then his friends hearing it.
-
"Yeah I could arrange for one of the larger ships to come in for a routine check and those take up to 3 or 4 hours,' frank said.
-------------
"So which ship its the largest,' the male rainbow face asked. "That would be the underwater aircraft carrier Sparta,' frank replied.
------------
"You want anything from the cafeteria I was gonna go out and get some lunch and I was wondering if you wanted anything,' sam asked ice.
-
"Sounds like it could work." Cera said not fully sure but it did sound like an idea. "How about the folks you have who do the work on the ship?" She asked thinking of that.
"Gosh, that sounds like quite a while." Chomper said, not sure how long an hour was let alone 3 or 4, but he figured it was a long time.
-
Longtail sighed.
"I say we find a dark corner in an unused part of this place...that sounds easier than anything else I've heard so far." he commented with a bored face.
-
"well there are still other parts of the base to see if you want to,' frank said.
-
"Gee, I sure would." Chomper said, eager to see the rest of the underground valley. Then he glanced at Littlefoot, "How about Littlefoot and his sleep story?" He said.
-
Longtail smiled as he gave his opinion.
"I say we go exploring for a while, and if we find a good quiet spot, then Littlefoot can tell us his sleep story!"
-
Littlefoot remembered something about the obversation deck "I did hear something from a human called a Obversation Deck and from that you can see the whole Great Valley. could we go there next Frank?" Littlefoot asked Frank.
----
Ice looked over to Sam "Why not, some able soup would be good"
-
"Observation? Sounds neat, whatever that means." Chomper said.
"Sounds like some spots in the Great Valley that you can see a lot of the valley." Cera said.
-
Longtail smiled.
"And that's why the longnecks are the smart ones. Great thinking Littlefoot." he said with a chuckle.
-
"I guess we could go there next what do you think startor,' frank asked.
-
Startor was standing there behind them in the cockpit "Well I guess there no harm in letting them all go up there" Startor spoke with calmness
-
"Is it used much?" Chomper asked looking at the residents of the underground valley.
-
"Not really it's mostly used for special occasions,' frank replied.
-
"Indeed it usually used for people with a clearance level of 7 to see the Great Valley without being seen by Dinosaurs." Startor explained.
-
"Sounds like it could be a neat place." Chomper said remembering some of the sights he had seen from some spots in the Great Valley.
"Maybe." Cera said not sure or convinced.
-
"It is a pretty neat place,' frank said.
-
"Frank lets take them there" Startor put her hand out to the exit of the plane.
"I think we going to like the view" Littlefoot took some thought about it and would love to see a view like what Startor said.
-
"I wonder what it will be like?" asked Longtail as he looked around in anticipation.
-
"Cool I bet." Chomper said.
"Maybe." Cera said, not fully convinced.
Meanwhile Ducky and Petrie had finished eating and were full, Spike was still eating, though he had before hand picked out some things he'd not touch so his friends would have enough to eat. He ate a let yes, but did make sure his friends would get food too, if they were interested, in most cases.
-
Startor turn to the exit of the plane "Well I will go and unlock the lift, give me a few minutes and come back alright?" Startor leaves the plane.
"Unlock?" Littlefoot look to Frank "Is it one of these erm....what was it... restrircted areas? I heard a human speak about it while heading to this hanger place" Littlefoot recalled the word he heard and guessing why this lift was locked.
-
"Maybe because they don't want just anybody roaming free in the lifts like the Great Valley." Cera said, annoyed at the thought of just any strange human roaming free into the Great Valley.
Ducky, & Petrie walk over to where the others were, "How was it, was it fun?" Ducky asked.
"Not to scary I hope." Petrie said smiling good naturedly, hoping and guessing it wasn't to scary since he hadn't heard anyone screaming.
Spike finished what he was eating, motioning with his head at the food left.
Ducky looks at Spike then motions, "Spike says there is some food left if any of you is hungry, there is, there is." She says.
-
"Well it's locked up most of the time because it's mainly used for special occasions,' frank said.
-
"Like a starday celebration?" Chomper asked.
-
"yeah you could say that,' frank said.
-
Startor spoke over the intercom. "The lift been unlocked and I'm waiting at the obversation deck for you all" then the comm closes.
"Wow that was fast" Littlefoot was amazed how fast something was unlocked.
-
"It is. I thought it would take longer, I did, I did." Ducky said nodding in agreement to Littlefoot.
-
Frank opened the door and walked into the lift and held the door open until everyone got in the lift.
-
Chomper ran towards the lift. " Come on guys." He said, excited and eager to see the lift and where it went as well as how it worked.
-
"The view is really quite amazing,' frank said.
-
"Like when me flying up and look down?" Petrie asked looking up at Frank.
-
"Wow this lift is big" Littlefoot noticed it was big enough for them all to get in as he got into the lift.
-
"Maybe they lift big things like the airplane thing." Ducky said.
-
"It's sometime used to bring aircraft parts up from the storage area,' frank said.
-
"Will it be like flying?" asked Longtail with a quizzical look on his face.
-
"Some what but not entirely,' frank said.
-
Longtail looked confused, but nodded his head anyway.
Cyrix however leaned over to Longtail and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I'm sure it will still be a fun experience."
-
Frank push the button and the elevator started up slowly and started to speed up.
-
"This feels sorta fun, it certainly does." Diver said nodding.
"It is a, unique experience and sensation." Mim said as she looked around trying to see and get as much information on her observations as to what she could see.
"I think it's kinda neat." Chomper said looking around.
-
"Yeah but when it reaches the top it stops suddenly so it's better to hold on to the rail,' frank said.
-
Mim picked up Diver and held onto the nearest rail and Chomper held onto Mim as best as he could.
-
Longtail scoffed.
"I'm not afraid, I'm a flyer...I can just flap my wings."
Cyrix on the other hand wasn't so sure. He decided to grab a rail...just to be safe.
-
As the elevator stopped a slight bump occured but it was not serious enough to cause anyone to fall over. "We're here,' frank said as the elevator door opened.
-
"That was pretty fast." Mim said as she bent over to put Diver onto the ground.
-
"Yeah it's like a mini rocket,' frank said. "Well this is it,' frank said walking into the room.
-
Longtail's eyes went wide, and he couldn't find words to speak at how amazing the room was.
Whatever emotion Cyrix was feeling, he hid them well as he looked around and said in an even tone, "This is very impressive. You humans have a very special species."
-
Ducky riding on Spike, Petrie riding Cera rode in with Spike & Cera, all who looked around the room as did Chomper.
"Neat." Chomper said as he looked around the room.
"It is neat, it is, it is." Ducky said. Spike gave the rooms a brief look, looking to see if there were any green food to eat.
"It's ok, I guess." Cera said, the closest she'd usually come to being surprised in a good way at something.
"It big." Petrie said as he looked around and made sure he was holding onto Cera's frill since he wasn't feeling to comfortable. "At least it no dark."
-
"Well it can get pretty dark at night when we have the lights off,' frank said.
-
"What took you guys?" Startor was standing by the controls near to the windows that was closed up at the moment "Now to show the view" she turn to the controls punching in some key numbers the metal shutters retracted to show a very high view of the Great Valley almost all of it was in view of the Obversation Deck.
"Wow..." Littlefoot only could bring to words seeing the outstanding view which they was now looking at and at a very high height.
-
"it is neat it is." Ducky said nodding enthusiastically.
"Wow." Chomper said wide eyed and his jaw dropped open showing his sharp teeth.
"It like view when me fly, but me no fly now." Petrie said.
Spike liked his lips at all the green food he could see.
"yea, It's ok I guess." Cera said, not wanting to admit she enjoyed the view as her friends did.
-
"Yeah it's a great view a person can really see the natural wonder from a view point like this,' frank said.
-
"Yep, Yep, Yep." Ducky said nodding again and agreeing.
-
Littlefoot saw his Grandparents and mother in the distance "hey look over by the thundering falls I can see them and some of our other families!" Littlefoot was looking towards the Thundering Falls and seeing their parents in the distance.
-
"Yeah you can,' frank said.
-
"It's neat." Chomper said.
-
"I like how it is peaceful around here,' frank said.
-
"Like great valley. No need to run from scary sharpteeth." Petrie said.
"or bossy threehorns." Cera said, not liking being bossed around.
-
"Yeah it makes it nicer to be around it seems like you're all one big family in the Great Valley,' frank said.
-
"We are. Though some are happier then others and some do not get along well with others. But we are mostly one big happy family, yep, yep, yep." Ducky said, thinking about certain folks who did not get along well with others, but overall and for the most part they did.
-
Frank smiled "at least you kids have mostly been in a safe enviroment for most of your lives,' frank said.
-
"Except when we have to leave to do what the arguing grownups no do." Petrie said. "then we go to scary mysterious beyond." Petrie said shuddering at the thought of some of his past memories of their adventures together.
"It can be pretty scary." Chomper said agreeing with Petrie.
-
"That's true,' frank said.
-
"Yea," Cera said looking at her friends, "Why is it always up to us to do what needs doing?" She said a bit annoyed at the idea, though adventures could be fun also.
-
"Well sometimes the old need to listen to the young,' frank said.
-
"Yea, instead of arguing with each other." Cera said.
-
"Or fighting each other,' frank said.
-
"Why they no get long like us?" Petrie asked.
-
"Some people just can't get along with each other petrie,' frank said.
-
"That is true, sad to say, it is, it is." Ducky said.
-
Frank nodded in aggreement 'Yeah it really is,' frank said.
-
Longtail sighed.
"But sometimes fighting is the only answer. And as wrong as that might sound...it does make sense if you think about it."
-
"Yeah like when a leader opresses other people by taking their lands and not being nice to the other countries population,' frank said.
-
Longtail gave a grim smile.
"That sounds like something a sharptooth might do. Taking another's land and hurt those who try to keep it."
-
"Well the mean sharpteeth at least,' frank said.
-
"Many sharpteeth are mean, but some flatteeth are mean too." Chomper said, thinking of a few himself.
"There are to many mean people. They should go and live together in their own mean valley." Ducky said, giggling a bit at the idea of a mean valley where mean people live.
-
"Yeah I can imagine that there are some mean flatteeth too,' frank said.
-
"Yeah I remember that clubtail that wouldn't give us those sweetbubbles but he did give them to us after Ducky said something about the Star Day" Littlefoot said recalling the events of that day.
-
"Sometimes talking about a situation with people is the best thing to do,' frank said.
-
"But not all the time, no, no, no. It does not always work, only sometimes." Ducky said.
-
"Yeah to achive true understanding of others you have to come to know them as a friend,' frank said
-
"Indeed that could be true in most places Frank but you get that small view that cloudly jugdements are not so understanding" Startor said to Frank.
-
"True to really understand you need to see it from a different viewpoint,' frank said.
-
"I only wish more would think like that, I do, I do." Ducky said looking up at the ones present.
"Me wish to." Petrie said.
-
"Yeah but I suppose every civilization has people that won't listen to anyone,' frank said.
-
"Yea, I guess there are jerks everywhere." Cera said a bit annoyed at the thought, though a true one.
-
"That may be one way of putting it but there are some good people,' frank said.
-
"some." Cera said.
-
"Even a small amount of people can change the course of history,' frank said.
-
"They can?" Ducky said, surprised by what Frank said.
-
"Does that mean you can change what happened after it happened? is that what your mean by changing course of time?" Littlefoot getting a little bit of a idea of what Frank meant.
-
"Sounds like if one can do that one would have to be very careful, they would, they would." Ducky said nodding.
"Me agree. What if make mistake." Petrie said, a bit scared of the idea of going into the past and making a mistake and what could happen.
-
"Not change what's already happened for example the spartans at thermoplye is a good one where 300 spartans stood off against an army of a million strong so their comrades could escape also the varius restance groups in europe during WWII and the people during the civil rights movement in the 1960's which I was a proud participant,' frank said.
-
"Against all odds? Grandpa told me once that sometimes against all odds we could do something that many couldn't" Littlefoot said thinking he got a idea what Frank was talking about
-
"That's exactly what I was talking about and it's true,' frank said.
-
"It is, That is amazing, it is, it is." Ducky said nodding.
"Me no no that." Petrie said.
"Yea, like 1 person can make a difference. It takes more then one." Cera said, not believing 1 person could make a difference.
Spike decided to keep his opinion to himself.
-
"Well it's the truth young one,' frank said.
-
"I can believe that Frank" Littlefoot knew from his and friend's personally experences that a small few make a differences
-
"Maybe." Cera said, not convinced yet.
"I guess certain people can." Ducky said.
-
"Yeah and it makes a person feel proud to have done something that changed something,' frank said.
-
Startor saw the sun starting to set in the sky "Well it looks like the time has flown." Startor gets up from where she was leaning against.
"Wow look at the great circle it amazing how it going down from the sky from up here" Littlefoot said with amazement.
-
"Yeah,it looks like it has,' frank said.
-----------
Sam returned to ice with what she wanted "Sorry it took so long there was a long line at the mess hall,' sam said.
---------------
"Would that be a human expression,' the male rainbow face asked startor.
-
Ducky nodded to what Littlefoot said, "It is, it is." She said.
-
Mitch arrived at the cafe and called frank "Did you want me to bring you anything,' he asked.
-------
"No not right now,' frank replied. "Alright,' mitch said before getting a steak.
-
"DOn't worry about it Sam, thanks for bring it up any how" Ice calmly took the tray "Any new word going around with the fellow employees? since I am almost down here 24/7 of the week" Ice said with a joking voice in some of the words.
-----
"Guess we better get going. our parents could be calling for us" Littlefoot said thinking about the folks.
-
"Is it that time already?" Ducky asked looking at Littlefoot.
-
"It does appears to be that time,' frank said.
-
"So soon?" Chomper asked, a bit disappointed at the time passing so far.
-
"Yeah it's that time already,' frank said seeing the dissapointment in chompers face.
-
"But we just got here." Chomper said.
"We have not been here long, no we have not." Ducky said.
-
Startor checked her watch "You all been here for well over seven hours, that from noon to sunset, so that is quite a long day." Startor said to them "It just that you've had so much fun exploring the time flew by"
"I guess it is" Littlefoot didn't get the idea of hours but guess that how humans keep track of the time of day.
-
"Time can go by fast when we have fun, it can, it can." Ducky said nodding. Spike nodded as well and made a sound that sounded like he was agreeing.
"Me guess so." Petrie said, not sure but guessing his friends and Sartor were correct.
"I don't like how that happens." Cera said, voicing her displeasure how time seemed to flow fast when she was having fun and slow down when she was bored.
-
"Yeah it can be annoying but that's the way of things the only thing we can do is accecpt it and wait for tomorrow,' frank said.
-
"I guess that is true." Chomper said, "What will you guys do tomorrow?" He asked.
-
"They won't be able to come into the complex tomorrow, we have three of the highest officals from the top of command checking our complex all day tomorrow." Startor told Frank "They are aware we gave them a tour today but as one of them said 'All we need is kids under foot, this inspecation is extremly important and we don't want to see children roaming the corridors while we are around' that is what I heard from the Professor" Startor finished telling Frank.
-
"Yeah I heard that they were comming I didn't think it was tomorrow,' frank said.
-
"It sounds like a hassle, it does it does." Ducky said nodding and thinking all that sounded like a hassle to her to put up with all that and likely to do special things to get ready.
-
"Yeah it is a hassle getting ready,' frank said.
-
"Why not just leave things as they always are & let them see things that way?" Cera asked. "if they don't like the way you do things, tough."
-
"Well that would make the people comming here think we're slobs and that would not be good for our careers,' frank said.
-
"Yeah that wouldn't be too good,' the male rainbow face said.
-
"What is a career?" Chomper asked, never having heard the word before.
"Maybe it is the stuff they wear to cover their smooth skin." Ducky said, not having heard the word either.
-
"A career is a job like startor's job here is chief of security,' frank said.
-
"oh, like my Mommy & Daddy being our mommy & daddy, & Mr. Threehorn liking to argue with everyone." Ducky said nodding as she understood.
"My daddy doesn't argue, he just likes to state his opinion." Cera said.
"He is very good at making his opinion heard, he is he is." Ducky said, Heard all over the Great Valley. I wonder if the sharp teeth in the mysterious beyond can hear him sometimes. Ducky thought to herself but thought it best to not say anything.
-
"I can tell you this humans have always had a thing about ships,' Frank said. "My mother for example loved the ship that she told me that she met my dad on the Titanic she told me it was the most beautiful ship in the world,' frank said.
-
Startor knew that they would come at any time "It hard to say with that but in the end they come when they come, they will give us a date and it could be today, tomorrow or any other day." Startor explained to them
"you don't know when they will show up?" Littlefoot blinked "That kind of creepy... you know they coming but you don't know when" Littlefoot wouldn't like something like that happen
-
"I does sound a bit creepy, it does, it does. They could be sneaking in right now." Ducky said, looking around a bit to see if they were there.
"Yea," Cera whispers, "There they are, right behind you." She said causing Ducky to jump and turn around. Ducky then put her hands on her hips with an angry look that she glared at Cera.
"That is not funny, no it is not." Ducky said.
Cera laughed a bit, "Oh, it was." She said.
-
"Well I'm pretty used to it since these kind of things happen in the military a lot,' frank said.
-
Professor Elm came out of the lift "Are you kids still here? I just had a rather an... upset triceratops called Tops wanting to know where his daughter is and saying it was well past her bed time" Professor Elm spoke relaying a message from Mr Threehorn.
-
"That sounds like Daddy all right." Cera said.
"Maybe the rest of us should go, before our parents get angry or upset or both." Ducky said.
-
Yeah that sounds good,' frank said following elm to the lift.
-
Cera, Ducky, Spike, Petrie & Chomper started heading towards the lift.
"It was fun, it was, it was, exploring here." Ducky said.
"Yea, it sure was." Chomper said smiling and agreeing with Ducky.
"Me glad it have plenty of light & fun & it safe." Petrie said
-
"It's good to know that you guys had fun,' frank said.
-
"We did, we did." Ducky said nodding her head, "I hope you had fun too."
"At least if your folks ask you can tell them we were exploring some caves. We were after all." Chomper said smiling.
"That true." Petrie said, since they had been, just not mentioning the other parts of that. Their folks would think they were just regular caves they had been exploring.
-
"Yeah I did have fun showing you guys around,' frank said.
-
"I am glad, I am, I am." Ducky said.
"It was... interesting." Cera said. "But we have to go before all our folks get mad." She said. "Maybe we'll see you folks again." She said.
-
"That would be a pretty good idea,' frank said.
-
"Indeed" Elm spoke as they all got on the lift. "Frank if you may, show them the way to go" Elm smiled
Littlefoot got into the lift "I wonder how we going to tell our folks about all this amazing stuff we saw today"
-
"Alright this way,' frank said walking to the elevator door and holding it open until everyone was in the elevator. The male rainbow face walked to the elevator and walked in the elevator.
-
Ducky got on Spoke who walked with Cera and Chomper to the lift. Petrie flew in to the lift then landed on Cera behind her frill.
"We could do like Petrie suggested for our folks who do not know of this place and just say we explored some caves. That is the truth, just not all of it." Cera said.
-
"That could work since you guys do a lot of exploring,' frank said.
-
The lift stopped and frank led the others out. "Today was a good day,' he said.
-
"It was fun, it was, it was." Ducky said.
-
As the group reached the door frank opened it to let the others out. "Good night guys,' he said.
-
Littlefoot turn to Frank "thank you for the tour it was really fun" Littlefoot said with a smile as he step out of the door back into the Great Valley "Goodnight"
-
Ducky nods,"It was fun, it was." She said waving from the back of Spike who nodded, agreeing with what Ducky had said.
"Me agree." Petrie said, getting ready to fly home.
"Yea, it sure was." Chomper said waving.
"It was ok." Cera said in her usual voice, liking it but not liking to admit all of her true feelings, especially with others then her closest friends around.
-
The male rainbow face walked by frank "See you later,' he said. "Same here,' frank replied.
----------
"It's 7:00 already man where has the time gone,' sam said looking at his watch.
-
"I guess it is time for each of us to head to our separate sleeping places." Ducky said.
"Me think so." Petrie said looking at the sky.
-
Melissa ate some frens that had been set out before falling asleep beside ian.
-
Frank checked the camrea in the greenhouse from a small circut tv that he had in his pocket "Asleep at last,' he thought to himself.
-
Lt Neal was walking to the hanger while humming to himself.
-
Ducky, Spike, Chomper, & Petrie said their goodnights and headed off to their sleeping places.
"See you tomorrow." Petrie said.
"you can be sure of that." Cera said before going off.
"I will look forward to more fun tomorrow, I will, I will." Ducky said waving also. Spike nodded then they headed off to their sleeping places.
"Yea, it'll be even more fun then today was." Chomper said before heading off to the Secret Caverns to go to sleep.
-
The male rainbow face walked by frank. "See you later frank,' he said. "Yes see you later too,' frank replied.
-
"Good night,' frank said to the female rainbow face longtail and cryix before they walked out.
-
Mitch reached his room after leaving the studio. "That was a long day,' he said to himself before laying down on his bed.
-
Lt neal reached the hanger and walked before hiding in the shadows most of the lights were already off he was waiting for frank to be alone.
-
Ducky, Spike, Cera, Chomper, & Petrie were soon asleep, some before others.
-
Frank closed the doors since the others were already out side. "well I should polish the new plane so it looks nice and shiny for tomorrow,' frank said to himself walking to the new plane.
-
Ducky, Spike, Cera, Chomper, & Petrie slept through the night, unless something awakens them, dreaming of their visit to the caves they visited and what was inside.
-
Frank got to the area of the hanger where the plane was and unlocked the door. He picked up a rag and started to polish the plane.
--------------
Lt neal seeing that frank was alone walked up silently to frank and hit him on the head knocking him out. Neal dragged frank out of the way of the plane. He got in and started the plane, he taxied the plane to the runway. He throttled forward moving down the runway. using a coded remote he opened the runway doors and took off heading toward the dig base. one of the gaurds patrolling the shores saw this and hit the klaxon which blared through out that part of the base excluding the greenhouse.
-
At hearing the alarms Ricktor was sitting upright in his bed with his a pistol drawn from under his pillow aiming at the door out of reflex action. "Something's not right!" he said to himself aloud as he stood up and slid on a pair of blue jeans and a T-shirt as he opened his door and aimed down the hall hoping he wouldn't have to use his gun.
His first stop was going to be check on Frank, knowing he'd most likely be in the hanger, as it was the closest to the barracks.
~~~
Longtail despite his Uncles suggestion was still sleeping a tree in the greenhouse and was actually staying on the branch.
(Just let me know if I need to change anything)
-
(Ok)
Frank came round he held his hand on the back of his head. "Oh what hit me,' he asked himself.
--------------
Lt neal called sam "Redfox 1 to mother hen the chicken has flown the coop repeat the chicken has flown the coop redfox 1 out,' lt neal said.
-----------------------
"Copy that redfox 1 see you when you get here,' sam said.
-
Cera and the others continued to sleep on, unaware of what was going on elsewhere.
-
Ricktor slid to a stop in front of the hangar doors and as they slid open he aimed his gun around the open space and noticed immediately that Frank sitting on the floor with his hand to his head, and the main doors wide open. He then ran to Franks side and asked, "Are you alright?! What happened?"
-
"I think I'm ok I don't know I just felt something heavy hit me on the back of my head and that was it,' frank said.
-
Mitch who also heard the alarm ran up at that moment. "Frank what's going on,' he asked.
------------
"Not much if you include me getting wacked on the head and the plane I was working on getting stolen,' frank said.
-
Ricktor put his gun down now knowing there wasn't any immediate threat, and asked, "What in the world would they want a plane for? And just out of curiosity Frank, what were you doing in the hanger this early in the morning with no one around?"
-
"I don't know but I will tell you this at the end of the first Velkan war I fought a plane that was virtually the same to the one I was working on,' frank said. "I just wanted to polish the plane a bit,' frank said.
---------------
"You mean "No Wings,' mitch asked. Frank nodded his head.
-
LT neal approached the DIG base. "This is redfox 1 requesting permission to land,' Lt neal said.
Sam replied "this is mother hen permission granted you are cleared to land on runway 4'.
-
"Think I should wake big boss to tell him the mission to get the plane was a sucess,' sam asked ice.
--------
Lt Neal landed the plane and parked it next to a Mig-21.
-
Mr. Thicknose was looking at the stars and thinking what he head learned earlier. Quite a change , he thought to himself, though each day brings new things and change is a natural part of life, though this change is ... rather more then most other types of change that happen . He started looking for a place to sleep, not being in any hurry but he was getting a little tired, but still some time to be up a bit longer.
-
Mitch got out a small flask and handed it to frank "fresh from the still,' he said.
Frank took a small drink "good as always,' frank said. "Want to try some ricktor,' frank asked handing the flask to ricktor.
-
Mr Thicknose thought to himself, wondering how long it would be, if ever, the other inhabitants of the Great Valley found out about the humans and what would happen. He thought of that for a bit, then thought no sense in thinking of that to much unless it did come to happen.
-
Lt neal walked away from the plane and went to get debreifed.
-----------
melissa had already been asleep for several hours and continued sleeping.
-
Petrie, Chomper, Cera, Ducky & Spike slept on, with no idea what was going on elsewhere.
Mr. Thicknose found what looked like a good place to sleep and lay down to rest a bit before going to sleep.
-
Ricktor smiled at the offer.
"Thanks. I could use a drink." he said as he gently took the flask and took a drink from it. "Wow...that is good." he commented after a moment. He then turned to Frank and asked, "Do you know what they wanted with your plane? It seems kinda odd they'd come all this way and only steal it."
Longtail and his uncle continued to sleep peacefully through the night.
-
"No but I sucpect that it's because they built one and couldn't get it to fly or they didn't have a part that was needed to get the plane off the ground,' frank said.
"Thanks it's a little something me and raptor here mixed up when we were flying P-47's from england back in 43,' mitch said. "I really hit it hard after dresden,' frank said. "Not one of the allies finest moments,' mitch said.
-
Ricktor nodded his head.
"Alright, so what's our next move? We certainly can't get the plane back, but is there any chance this place has any defenses that we can use?" He then looked up and added , "Can we shut off those alarms too...my ears are starting to hurt."
-
"Yes they can,' frank said shutting the alarm off. "As for defences i'm afraid they are mostly useless against the plane I designed it to be a gen 6 fighter so unless the pilot flew low and slow enough regular AA fire will bring it down but the pilot is long gone by now,' frank said.
-
"Have you heard of a fighter squadron called the Vlazgriz,' frank asked ricktor.
"You know the squadron that flew jet black planes into a battle field during both Velkan wars,' mitch said.
-
Ricktor gave a sly smile.
"Of course, there is NO way I couldn't know about the Vlazgriz squadron. They were infamous...or famous depending on how ya looked at it during the Velkan wars."
-
"Well we may have been infamous but we were just old veterans who were tired of the bickering between our countries,' frank said "We are also human and felt just as sick as a lot of other people during the bombing of ofnung during the first velkan war it reminded me of seeing my home town of dresden being destroyed during WWII,' frank said. "After that until the second velkan war we were enjoying retirement,' mitch said.
-
Rick sighed heavily as he thought back on the battles Frank mentioned.
"I suppose it would get tiring after so long, but what made you personally come out of retirement Frank?" he asked aloud.
-
"The death of my daughter at the begining of the second velka war,' frank said. Frank was silent for a moment as he took another drink from the flask.
-
"Well I guess I'll leave you two to talk good night,' frank said to ricktor and mitch.
-
Ricktor sighed.
"Yeah good night Frank." Ricktor then turned around and asked Mitch, "Wanna grab a drink or something, as I'm not getting back to sleep any time soon."
-
'Yes that does sound good,' mitch said.
----------------
Frank walked into the green house and gently layed down next to melissa and fell asleep.
