Chapter 1: Nightmare, Herds Arrive, and Littlefoot's Discovery;

Location: Unknown;

Littlefoot had no idea where he was as the young longneck walked down a long empty snow filled cave. This place looked unfamiliar to him and yet why was he filled with so much dread for some reason. However, he had no idea why he was feeling this way like his instincts were on high alert.

Usually Littlefoot knew every place in the Great Valley from the caves, meadows, forests, ponds, watering holes, and everything in between with his friends as they been around their home multiple times. This cave, however, was completely new to him as it was unfamiliar to the young longneck dinosaur. Also there was the white ground sparkles which is what the dinosaurs called snow were on the ground which didn't make sense as the valley wasn't covered in this stuff the other day.

If he wasn't in the valley presently then where was Littlefoot right now?

He kept walking a bit more before Littlefoot came to stop in a section of the cave Littlefoot called out loud hoping someone would hear him as his voice echoed of the cave walls, "Hello? Is there someone there?"

No reply came at first as everything was dead quiet, but for some odd reason Littlefoot felt like he wasn't alone in this cave. Something else was here in this very cave. And it wasn't a dinosaur.

Suddenly Littlefoot heard an unfamiliar male voice that echoed around him saying out loud, "Beware of the Racing Drones. Stop at nothing… beware."

"Racing Drones? Who are you? Come out where I can see you!", called out Littlefoot who wanted to know who just spoke just now.

No response came from the voice which was more unnerving to Littlefoot as he wondered if the voice was warning him of something. Perhaps the warning was about these Racing Drones that the voice spoke about which left more questions than just answers. However, Littlefoot wondered what was a Racing Drone anyway little did he know he was about to find out. A wish he was going to end up regretting.

BGM: Tezla's Fall (the part when RD-L1 appears);

Suddenly the cave sealing lit up with green lights and the sounds metallic footsteps which caught Littlefoot's attention as he saw strange things moving on the sealing. They didn't look like anything that Littlefoot ever seen before and thanks to how dark the cave was it was hard to tell what those things were from a distance. Suddenly, there was a metallic crash behind the young longneck who quickly turned around to see a strange creature that all black with a few parts being green with strange symbols not to mention no eyes. Littlefoot's face gained a beyond scared look on his face as the creature stood up to its full height and was even taller than he was not to mention it looked dangerous.

Littlefoot didn't know he was looking at RD-L1 who glared at the young longneck menacingly before engaged his visor giving him a more dangerous appearance frightening Littlefoot even more before slowly walking towards him. This thing must be a Racing Drone then all those moving black objects with the green lights moving on the sealing were also Racing Drones. There was one thing Littlefoot had to do as his brain told him one thing… run. As fast as he could!

Without thinking Littlefoot turned around and began to run down the cave as fast as his legs could carry him before RD-L1 began to run after him with every metallic footstep he made going faster and faster. Littlefoot didn't know what was happening or why this thing was chasing him, but he knew one thing this weird creature was worse than any sharptooth that he had ever seen in his life! He needed to get away from it and fast!

Soon he reached a junction and Littlefoot made a sharp right turn to only run down a passageway that stopped at a dead end! The longneck screeched to a stop and exclaimed out loud as there was no way out, "Oh-no! Dead end!"

"Indeed. No where to run now little one.", came an unfamiliar robotic voice filled with malice right behind Littlefoot as he quickly turned around to see RD-L1 walking towards the cornered young dinosaur.

As the Racing Drones lieutenant stomped forward for him Littlefoot slowly stepped back now extremely scared as he alone with some kind of thing that wants to bring mortally harm to him. He backed into the stone wall of the dead end just as RD-L1 got closer and closer until he was a few inches away from the young longneck dinosaur who was trembling in fear as he really scared now.

Soon the new leader of the Racing Drones said to Littlefoot now that he had him cornered as he wanted information from him, "Now tell me child. Where has your mother hidden it?"

Littlefoot who was still terrified of the drone was confused about it was talking about and what this has to do with his mom. Soon the Longneck replied back to the hulking robot saying to it, "I… I don't know what you're talking about?! Even if I knew I would never tell whatever you are anything!"

This made RD-L1 very enraged as Littlefoot refused to talk, so it was time for a different method that will make the young dinosaur talk. Punish him physically for his defiance and force him to talk. Then the Racing Drone raise his right arm which was now a fist and was about to attack Littlefoot as the young dinosaur shook his head begging this thing to not attack him, but his pleas were disregarded as RD-L1 swung his fist towards the dino who let out a terrified bloodcurdling scream as everything went white.

(In Reality at the Great Valley during the night);

Littlefoot woke up with a horrified look on his face and let out a frightened scream when the strange creature was about to attack him, "AAAHHHH!"

The young longneck panted as he tried to catch his breath as his heart felt like it was racing with fear and terror in his vains. At last Littlefoot managed to calm down and looked to see he was with his dad and Shorty as he was spending the night with them and he just had a nightmare. A very unsettling nightmare.

Littlefoot never had a nightmare like that before and it was pretty scary too with those strange things he saw including the one that chased him in that cave. However, what was the strange creature talking about anyway and how did it know about his long departed mother. But the dream felt more like a warning and was it about these Racing Drones he saw in his dream.

The young longneck sighed before he heard his dad's voice as he was woken up by Littlefoot's scream as the adult Apatosaurus looked at his son with a concerned look on his face, "You okey Littlefoot? I thought I heard you scream moments ago?"

"I'm fine Dad. I just had a really strange and scary nightmare is all.", replied Littlefoot as he was still shaken up by what he saw in his dream moments ago.

Bron nodded in reply and could tell his son was still trying to calm down after the scare he got from his dream. It was best he ask him in the morning on what did he see in said dream. Right now they needed to get back to sleep because Ali's herd alongside the herd of Farwalkers that going to spend the winter in the Great Valley were to arrive tomorrow.

"We'll talk about what we saw in your dream tomorrow Littlefoot. Right now just go back to sleep and get some rest. Your friend Ali's herd will be arriving in the valley tomorrow.", said Bron as they had a pretty busy day tomorrow.

Littlefoot nodded back to his dad and said to him knowing he'll be able to talk to him about what he saw in his dream moments ago, "Okey dad."

With that Littlefoot laid his head back down and went back to sleep just as Bron did the same as the adult longneck followed suit. However, what no one of the Great Valley knew tomorrow was going to be quite an interesting day. Enough to awaken something hidden underneath the ground with things that no dinosaur had ever seen before in their lives.

(The Next Morning);

Soon morning came all the dinosaurs of the Great Valley were eating breakfast with their families that included Littlefoot and his family alongside his grandparents and Shorty. As they were eating Littlefoot told his dad about what he saw in his nightmare last night. Bron and Littlefoot's grandparents were surprised and shocked at what Littlefoot told them about his dream. Shorty even shivered at the story as it sounded pretty unsettling about these strange black and green creatures that Littlefoot spoke about.

At last Bron found his voice and said to Littlefoot as he understood now that his son had quite the bad dream last night, "That's some story son. No wonder you were pretty shaken up from your nightmare last night."

"Indeed, but… how did the creature that chased you in your nightmare knew about your mother Littlefoot?", asked Grandpa longneck as he was a bit curious about what Littlefoot talked about the small interrogation session with RD-L1 about his mom and something she hidden from these strange creatures.

Littlefoot had no idea as he too was just as confused as his family were as on how that strange creature knew and talked about his mom in his dream. It sounded like it was looking for something which his mom must of hidden to keep it out of the wrong claws from being used to harm others. It could explain why it came after him in the first place in his dream, but what exactly that these strange things wanted.

"Well whatever you saw in your nightmare last night Littlefoot I don't want to meet it in real life.", said Shorty as he was a bit scared by what Littlefoot told them about his nightmare last night.

Littlefoot could only agree with his step-brother as he really hoped he never have to meet those strange things in real life any time soon. There were too many questions about the nightmare to begin with in the first place. However, the young longneck's thoughts were interrupted when Cera came running in with a smile on her muzzle and said to Littlefoot and Shorty, "Littlefoot! Shorty! Ali's herd had just arrived in the valley with the farwalker herd!"

This brightened up Littlefoot's face as an excited smile formed on his face after Cera told them the news. Ali's Herd had just arrived in the valley alongside the Farwalker herd. The two longnecks better go over and greet Ali and see if she wanted to play with them.

Soon Littlefoot looked at his dad alongside his grandparents and said to them, "Can Shorty and I go over and say hi to Ali with my friends?"

"Sure Littlefoot. Your father, grandfather, and I will be there soon to meet the Old One and Ali's mother after we finish eating.", replied Grandma longneck as she gave the two young longnecks their permission.

This made Littlefoot smile and the two longnecks with Cera raced to meet up with the rest of Littlefoot's friends at the entrance to the Great Valley. He wondered how Ali was doing right now.

At the Entrance to the Great Valley;

It didn't take long for the three dinosaurs to reach the entrance to the Great Valley where they met up with Ducky, Spike, Petrie, Chomper, and Ruby as they were watching Ali's herd arrive with the farwalker herd. Soon enough a certain young female apatosaurus that was around Littlefoot's age came into view as she was walking alongside her mother. There was no doubt about it that was Ali and she looked pretty excited to see her friends from the Great Valley again.

"Ali! Over here!", came certain male voice as Ali looked her right and saw Littlefoot and his friends alongside an unfamiliar young green longneck with blue eyes waiting for her to arrive at an outcropping of rocks near the entrance.

Ali's face beamed with joy at the sight of Littlefoot and his friends as she yelled to the young male apatosaurus with excitement, "Littlefoot!"

Soon the female longneck youngling ran over to group of dinosaurs just as Petrie flew over to her and said to the longneck, "Me missed you a bunch Ali! Me hope trip wasn't so bad on way to the Great Valley!"

Ali giggled and said to the small flying dinosaur as she was happy to be back in the Great Valley again, "Heh I missed you too Petrie. In fact I missed all of you, but since my herd is going to be staying for the coming cold time until Spring I can't wait to have so much fun with you guys!"

Littlefoot had agree with Ali's reply as he said to her showing Shorty to the female longneck for the first time, "Ali I want you to meet my step-brother Shorty. He's part of my dad's herd who arrived in the valley the other day!"

Ali looked at Shorty and said to the young green brachiosaurus with a smile on her face, "Nice to meet you Shorty."

"Nice to meet you at last Ali. Littlefoot told me stories about you during our last visit to the Great Valley.", replied Shorty as he had to admit Ali looked kind of cute for a female longneck which Littlefoot had a secret crush on.

Ali smiled and said to Shorty as she heard a bit about the green longneck from Littlefoot, "Yeah. Littlefoot told me about you too I never knew he had a step-brother."

Shorty smiled at this before Cera asked Ali if anything interesting happened along the way to the Great Valley, "So anything interesting happened along the way here Ali?"

Ali thought for a moment and nodded in agreement to the female threehorn's question as there was one interesting thing that happened to her on the way to the Valley, "Yeah. I made 3 new friends on the way here Cera they should be arriving now."

Before Cera or the rest of the gang could ask who were these new friends they saw in the herd of farwalkers a family of two Maiasauras a light green male and a light yellow female with several young hatchings, but in between them was a surprising sight as a light blue colored young female Spinosaurus around Ruby's age with grayish blue sail on her back, a pale aqua blue underbelly, blue eyes, and black colored claws. Also she seemed very nice and could speak like a leaf eater just like Chomper. Not far away were two Torosauruses with the male being dark blue while the other the female was yellow and beside them was a young male ivory colored Torosaurus who hadn't grown his horns on his frill yet, had brown eyes, a pale yellow underbelly, and white colored nails for his legs. This young one looked around Cera's age and a bit less boatful than the orange young triceratops was, but just as strong. Then there was a family of Ampelosauruses both were ocean blue colored with yellow spikes on their backs pale grey underbellies, and silver colored nails for their legs. The male and female had the same colors, but the shading of their colors were different the male had a darker shade of colors while the female had lighter shades of colors which made them easier to distinguish between them. The male one had grey colored eyes while the female had light blue colored eyes. Right beside the two was medium shaded young male Ampelosaurus with a older teenage twin sister with turquoise blue in place of where the parts were ocean blue with 4 hatchlings with them.

Soon Ali called out to the 3 young dinosaurs that were in the group of arriving dinosaurs, "Finny! Damp! Charley! Over here!"

The 3 young dinosaurs heard Ali's call and looked towards her and gasped with excitement before they asked their respective parents if they could go play with their new friend. Thankfully the parents said yes and all three of the young dinosaurs raced over to the spot that Littlefoot and his friends alongside Shorty were right now. Once they arrived at the spot Ali said to Littlefoot and the gang, "Everyone. These three are my new from the Farwalkers Herd. Finny, Damp, and Charley."

Soon the young female spinosaurus said to Littlefoot and the gang alongside Shorty in a smart female tone of voice, "So your are the longneck and his friends that Ali's been talking about on the way here! It's really nice to meet you all!"

Chomper was very surprised to see another friendly sharptooth like himself especially from a spined sharptooth dinosaur as he said to her, "Your a sharptooth! Just like me and you can talk like the plant eaters too!"

Finny nodded in reply and said to Chomper as she continued talking to him and the others, "Yep! I was adopted by my foster parents when I was just a hatchling. I learned how to speak flat teeth thanks to them and became part of the herd allowing everyone to accept me as one of their own. Even though I'm a sharptooth like you Chomper."

Chomper could only agree with Finny's reply as the Great Valley had accepted him as one of their own when he returned to Littlefoot's home with Ruby's help after she promised to watch over him for his parents. It was a miracle that the two herds didn't run into Red Claw with his two fastbiter goons Screech and Thud out in the Mysterious Beyond. Besides sharpteeth had sharp senes of smell which comes in handy in avoid predators like an adult Tyrannosaurus Rex or Allosaurus for example.

Soon the young male Ampelosaurus whose name was Damp spoke up next saying to the group as he was amazed by the absolute beauty of the Great Valley, "I only heard stories about the Great Valley from other herds, but now that we're here I'm beyond amazed right now! This place looks incredible!"

"You're telling me! I just can't believe that we're actually here! This got to be a dream!", added Charley as the ivory Torosaurus could agree with Damp's statement as he thought the valley was just a bed time story.

Soon Ducky had an idea and said to the 3 new dinos as an idea flew into her head, "Say you 3 want to play with us?"

Damp smiled and said to the small green dino with a smile on his muzzle, "Sure thing Ducky. So… what do you guys want to play then?"

The gang thought for a moment trying to think of something to do with their new friends. They could go to the bubbling mud and have some fun there. Go swimming at the Thundering Falls and get wet. Or play tag again like two days ago which would give Finny, Damp, and Charley a chance to see more of their valley home.

Soon Cera said to everyone as the idea of playing tag again came flying back into her head which would do perfectly as she can catch Spike this time after he caused her to fall into that pond, "Let's play tag! Not it!"

With that Cera ran off from the others towards the forest before Petrie said next as he was okey with that, "Me not it either!"

Petrie flew after Cera before Littlefoot, Shorty, and Ali looked at each other and smiled before saying in unison, "Not it!"

The three longnecks ran after Petrie and Cera before Ducky, Ruby, Finny, Damp, Charley, and Chomper yelled out loud as well, "Not it!"

The group went after Littlefoot and the others leaving only Spike who realized he was it this time. So the green spiketail went after the group of dinosaurs as fast as his legs could go as the kids were laughing and were enjoying themselves enormously. Little did anyone know a certain duo of egg eating brothers had returned to the valley as well.

BGM: Ozzy and Strut's theme (LBT II: The Great Valley Adventure);

Right behind where Spike was standing earlier was a bush and poking his head of the bush was a certain Struthiomimus with orange colored eyes who turned out to be Ozzy who had snuck back into the Great Valley via the two migrating herds. The egg stealer thought he was never going to stop listening to those rotten kids talking especially that young longneck and that young sharptooth that ruined his dinner plans the last time he was in this valley. The last time he was here things didn't go well and he alongside his brother Strut got chased into the Mysterious Beyond by Chomper's angry mom and dad when he was just a baby when the two egg stealers tried to throw him and Littlefoot off the Great Wall! It was miracle that they survived from becoming sharpteeth food or ripped limb from limb by Chomper's parents. Now they had deal with two young friendly talking sharpteeth instead of one.

As he watched the kids disappear into the distance from the bush Ozzy muttered to himself in relief, "For once I'm actually happy those rotten sprout congers are gone! At least no one has seen us yet! Right Strut?"

Suddenly Ozzy began to heard the sound of chewing and munching as if someone was eating something right beside him. As he looked around for the source of the sounds and realized there were no bigger dinosaurs near him until he looked down at the ground and had a pretty good guess who it was.

Soon Ozzy exclaimed to the culprit that was making the sounds below him, "Strut you get up here this instant and you better not be doing what I think your doing!"

At last Strut appeared from below and to Ozzy's utter annoyance his twin brother was eating green food again this time being grass in his mouth and said to his brother, "What Ozzy? I'm eating here!"

Ozzy growled as his face turned hot red with rage before he yelled at Strut in an enraged tone of voice, "Strut you guzzling grass guzzler! Spit that out right now!"

Soon Ozzy dove for Strut causing the younger brother to panic and a loud ruckus erupted from the bush as the older brother as trying to make his younger brother spit out the grass he consumed moments ago. It sounded more like a fight was going on between the two brothers as it kept going for a bit before until it stopped as Strut poked out the bush now his mouth empty of grass and looked a bit roughed up bit thanks to his older brother before Ozzy reappeared next to him.

"Ow. Why did you do that for Ozzy?," complained Strut feeling bruises over his body, "I was having a bit to eat."

Ozzy rolled his eyes and said sharply to his little brother after he had the nerve to be eating green food of all times, "Because Strut you were eating green food! I know that I said this before, but no brother of mine isn't going to eat vegetation! Not while I'm around."

Strut groaned as he remembered that line after the first time that the brothers had to come to the Great Valley. He was still haunted by the end result of them being changed by two angry sharpteeth adults for trying to get rid of Chomper. Now they come back to this place to feast on one thing and one thing only. Eggs. This could only end in disaster for sure.

Soon Strut said to his brother as he reminded him the last time they were here at this valley, "Ozzy. Remember what happened last time you said that or when we were here before? We got chased by two sharpteeth when we tried to get rid of one of those kids and that baby sharptooth!"

Ozzy groaned as he remembered that part which he unluckily stills remembers as it was still fresh in his mind. He soon said to his brother in an annoyed tone of voice, "Don't remind me Strut. I still get night terrors thinking about those two sharpteeth chasing us back then! I'm just glad we didn't end up as breakfast for them. Speaking of breakfast let's grab an egg and feast on it!"

Soon Ozzy ran out of the bush and for one of the nearest nests containing dinosaur eggs for him and Strut just groaned knowing what was going to happen next, "Here we go again."

After he said that Strut went after his brother knowing they going to find food and that being a dinosaur egg. However, what the brothers didn't know was a major event will change their world. More ways than one.

With the Kids…

BGM: Snowball Fight theme (LBT 8 The Great Freeze);

Meanwhile with the young dinosaur children they were having fun still playing tag and presently Ducky was it as Spike tagged her earlier and now was chasing the others including Spike himself. The group of 12 dinosaurs were pretty much having a absolute ball as Ducky was chasing Littlefoot as they were running through the forest as huge group of trees dotted the landscape.

As he ran Littlefoot said to Ducky as he was ahead of her thanks to his size and legs, "Heh can't catch me Ducky!"

"Oh I will! Yep yep yep!", replied Ducky as she chased after Littlefoot as fast as her feet could carry her and was slowly catching up to him. However, Littlefoot made a sharp turn to the right and Ducky missed him by a few meters. But the little green dinosaur saw another target in mind as she saw the tail of a certain young male T-Rex hiding behind a tree. A smirk formed on her beak and snuck up quietly behind Chomper who was trying to hid from Ducky thinking he outsmarted her, but he was wrong.

"Tag! Your it Chomper!", said Ducky as she touched Chomper on the back and ran from him making the young T-Rex grin before he began to chase after the others playfully.

At the same time Damp saw Chomper coming for him and said to the young friendly sharptooth with a grin on his face, "You can't get me Chomper!"

"Oh yeah I will! Just watch!", responded Chomper as he and Damp ran down the path underneath a large tree root running past Littlefoot who was going deeper into the forest via a path deep into the said forest.

At the same time Cera was with Charley hiding from Chomper behind a large bounder thinking that they were safe until Damp raced by and the friendly young T-Rex saw the two hiding dinosaurs. He quietly snuck up behind Cera and tagged her catching her by surprise and exclaimed to her with a laugh, "Ha ah! Tag your it Cera!"

Chomper runs off towards Ruby while Cera slowly looks at Charley with a devious grin on her face while the ivory Torosaurus gulped and muttered to himself, "Aw egg-shells."

Then the ivory colored young dinosaur ran from Cera before she gave chase after him determined to tag him or any other young dinosaur that was playing with them. This time she was going to get Spike good and she will have retribution after what happened two days ago when she fell into that pond. However, Cera nor the others knew a huge change was coming and it was about to rock their world.

Meanwhile Littlefoot was having too much fun he forget to watch where he was going as he ran deep into the forest which was completely unfamiliar to him. He made a sharp turn to the right and kept on running until he hit something hard right in front of him. The force of the impact bruised the front of his nose before he stumbled back a bit before landing on his bottom with a thud.

*THUD*

All that the young male longneck could say right now was a loud, "Ow!"

The pain soon left him until at last Littlefoot finally opened his eyes he found himself in an unfamiliar part of the forest and there right in front of him looked like stones put together in a strange fashion. In fact they put together as a large circle of some kind which seemed to be made of a stone like material that Littlefoot had never seen before in his life. What was even stranger was there were strange engravings on the stone which appeared to represent something yet they didn't look like they from this world or even known to dinosaurs.
As he looked at the strange large object Littlefoot said to him with astonishment, "Whoa! I never knew something like this was in the Great Valley! It looks even older than Saurus Rock!"

Littlefoot soon got to his feet and began to walk through one of the arches of the strange stones before coming to the center of the strange object. In the dead center had a smooth stone that pointed upwards towards the sky. This caught Littlefoot's curiosity as he looked at the upward pointing stone wondering why this thing was pointing towards the sky.

"Hmm… why is this stone pointing upwards unlike the others?", said Littlefoot as he got closer to the stone and wondered why it was like that in the first place.

But then without thinking Littlefoot laid one of his forelegs on the upward pointing stone and felt a surge of energy flowing through the stone until it suddenly began to glow in a light blue light. The young longneck slowly walked back from the stone as began to build up energy from within it like it was preparing to do something.

That's when it happened…

BGM: The Truth (when the Sharpteeth attack from the Land Before Time 7: The Stone of Cold Fire);

Suddenly Littlefoot felt the ground begin to shake violently below him and that could only mean one thing. An Earthshake! Soon the young longneck exclaimed in horror out loud, "EARTHSHAKE!"

Littlefoot quickly ran from the strange stones as all of them began to glow light blue like the one in the center of the stones. He didn't see was the stone in the middle began to create a small sphere of energy which began to grow in size. As if it was about to fire something into the stars.

At the same time Cera had cornered Spike and was about to tag him when they felt the ground shake violently. Cera and the rest of the gang knew what that meant as she exclaimed to everyone, "EARTHSHAKE!"

All the kids tried to keep their balance, but a few like Chomper, Finny, and Damp fell to the ground with a hard thud. Suddenly the ground bulge as something began to rise up from the earth as strange orange like objects with glowing sides which was actually track usually found in Racing Realms appeared. Petrie looked at the strange thing and said in total bewilderment, "What is that?!"

"I really don't know! In fact I really don't know!", said Ruby as the track was being brought up from under the ground which they had no idea that been under the feet of the residents of the Great Valley all this time.

Across the valley Strut and Ozzy were about to feast on an egg from one of the stegosaurus' nests when the earthshake happened. The two brothers startled by the shake wobbled and tripped as Strut let the egg go on accident and the egg landed back in its nest with no problem. That wasn't the case for the two brothers.

Ozzy then looked at Strut with fury after his blunder of loosing their breakfast while his younger brother smiled sheepishly at him as the trembling continued as they began to get covered by rocks from a nearby cliff, "STRUT YOU-"

Before Ozzy could finish a large rock buried the two egg stealers and knocked them out cold. When they wake up the Valley would be transformed.

As the trembling continued many dinosaurs in the valley saw more track coming out of the ground some in loops, jumps, long straight sections, high speed curves, tunnels that went through the Great Wall or underground, there was also a path that went past the Thundering Falls, and there was a last path that went off towards the Land of Mists. A secret 5th path followed the way that Littlefoot and his followed to reach the Great Valley the first time. Also more track was emerging from the ground with more loops, jumps, and many other things appearing the mysterious beyond like going through the Smoking Mountains, the Land of Mists, and two more paths going in different directions before they converged at Big Water where Littlefoot and his friends said their goodbyes to Mo with a underwater tunnel going underneath the sea.

Back at the Great Valley a certain ring like portal usually found at the end of a Racing Realm appeared in front of Saurus Rock as the track emerged out of the ground showing a ramp in front of it. However, the portal looked closed until there was a flash of light blue and the portal at last opened, however, it didn't have a symbol like all Racing Realms had at the end. Could Littlefoot's world be a Racing Realm?

At the strange stone structure the trembling stopped at last before the middle stone fired a light blue beam into the sky just as portal appeared above the beam. Once the beam entered the portal it suddenly vanished without a trace like it wasn't there to begin with. Cera and the others had seen the beam and portal before both disappeared as the threehorn said to the others as she was looking at the sky, "What was that all about?"

Shorty had no idea either just like the others as he said to Cera looking at the sky with Petrie and the others, "You got me? I never seen anything like that before in my life!"

Soon Damp spoke up next as he looked around and noticed Littlefoot was missing from the group and said to the others, "Uh guys? Where's Littlefoot?"

The gang snapped out of their skyward gazes before looking around and noticed Littlefoot wasn't with them. The group was about to go look for him when at last the young longneck in question appeared from an opening in the trees as he was running to his friends and exclaimed to them as he screeched to a stop right in front of them, "Guys! Are you all okey?"

Finny soon responded to the longneck's question as she said to him, "Yes Littlefoot. We're all okey."

Soon Cera said to the young longneck dinosaur that just arrived, "Littlefoot did you see that strange light in the sky earlier and where were you?"

Littlefoot nodded back at Cera's question and said to her, "I did! Also you guys need to see what found in the forest! Come on!"

Soon Littlefoot went back the way he came from running as fast as he could to reach the strange stones he found earlier which caused the strange earthshake. Littlefoot's friends soon followed after the longneck alongside Shorty, Ali, Finny, Charley, and Damp wondering what they were going to find.

A bit later…

Littlefoot and his friends arrived at the location deep in the forest where the strange stone structure that the young longneck found earlier which in turn caused the track to appear out of the ground. Cera and the others were amazed at the sight of the strange object including the strange markings written on the stone. It didn’t look like it came from their world, but maybe from beyond the Mysterious Beyond just like those two Rainbow Faces talked about years ago.

As she got closer to the structure looking through one of the arches Cera said to Littlefoot with a very confused look on her face, “So this thing caused the Earthshake earlier Littlefoo?”

Littlefoot responded back to Cera’s question as he was looking at the center stone with Finny and Ruby in the middle of the structure which fired the beam into the portal before both vanished without a trace, “Yeah. When I touch this center stone it then suddnely glowed and caused everything to shake and make those strange things to appear.”

Not far away Petrie was looking at the strange engravings on the smoothly cut stone pillars as he flapped his wings and said to everyone, “Me don’t know, but these things look too spooky.”

Damp had to agree with the little flying dinosaur as he was right beside Petrie as the Ampelosaurus knew these weren’t made by plant-eaters or sharpteeth, “I have to agree with Petrie on this! Maybe we should go home and check on our folks to see they’re alright.”

Everyone agreed with Damp’s request before the group of 12 dinosaur kids left the strange stone structure before Littlefoot looked back at it in deep thought. If no dinosaur herbivore or carnivore built this thing or even the strange things that appeared out of the ground then who did? He even began to believe what the Rainbow Faces said a long time ago when they came to the Great Valley when the Stone of Cold Fire appeared. Could there actually be something beyond the Mysterious Beyond?

However, his thoughts were interrupted as he heard Shorty’s voice calling out to him, “Littlefoot come on!”

”Oh! Coming!”, replied Littlefoot as he ran after his friends and step-brother knowing he’ll more time to think about it back at the nest as the group headed back their respective families.

Little did our young friends knew was what Littlefoot did moments ago was transmit an ancient signal from their world to another one. A certain world home to humanity that currently held the Wheel of Power and a new adventure like nothing the gang had ever before in their lives was about to happen.

The race was just about to begin.

Lollll because I was a naive little kid obsessed with the Land Before Time, and I figured if I just kept sending letters they’d have to reply eventually. Most of them were my childish ideas and suggestions for future movie plots, which in hindsight I now wonder if that was actively working against them, as replying to any could legally be seen as acknowledgment and would have hypothetically given me a case to sue for payment/credit if any of those ideas had coincidentally happened to appear in future movies.

Ironically the thing that made me give up wasn’t Universal’s silence, it was sending a single fan letter to Hasbro and receiving a $5 coupon for GI Joe merch. That fact that anyone had gotten back to me sated my easily-distracted prepubescent mind haha

Yeah posting art here has kinda lost its novilty,  I used to post artwork here every other day.  But in the last few years when ever I post art I only get one or 2 comments or non at all. In fact you probably already mentioned this but this site in general isn't as active as it was 10 years ago.

Hi, Flathead! :rainbowwave

Well, I suppose that all makes sense. I can definitely understand life getting in the way of these kinds of things. I mean, it’s the same reason I seldom post here anymore. :oops

One of my coworkers at a job I worked at last year mentioned that he watched the first 2 LBT movies with his son, though this was for the first time for him as well. He made note of the drop in quality between the two and the amusing fact that there's 14 of them.  :PLoofah

On a similar note, my brother was playing a trivia game not so long ago that asked what children’s movie series has “14 unnecessary sequels”. Come on, people, if you’re going to criticize LBT at least get the number right… :p
