The Land Before Time
The Bite of Tornetar.
The Bite of Tornetar: Part 1
Tricked
(Prologue)
A long time ago. before You, Before The Horse, Before The Dog, Before The Elephant, Before the Mammals took over the earth. the Dinosaurs ruled the earth.
there where two kinds of Dinosaurs. the ones with flat teeth, who ate plants and lived peacefully. and then, there where the dinosaurs with Sharp Teeth, who ate the Peace-loving Dinosaurs.
But in the Great Valley all was right. the Jagged cliffs and mountains surrounding the Great Valley protected the plant eating dinosaurs from Sharpteeth, sence they could not climb the mountains, and the only ways in where too hard to trek. but it doesn't mean there where attempts. Sharpteeth ranging from Mama and Papa Sharptooth, to Fast Biters, to Redclaw on few occasions have made there way some way or another. disrupting the peace and attacking the inhabitance.
all of wich where Exsponged however. but future events will find the next break in, will be the hardest to escape, and the toughest to beat.
(Morning)
the Sun rises, to a new day in the Great Valley, the first to wake up, is the adults, who wake there young. among them, our five young protangonists...
Littlefoot, Laying on his side, and squirming, is wakin up by his Grandma's nudging.
"YEAAAAAAAAAAGHHH!!!!" Littlefoot screams.
"Shhhh" Grandma tells Littlefoot. "Its ok, its just a bad sleepstory." she adds.
Littlefoot grasps for breath for five seconds.
"More like a Sleep Terrorstory Grandma. it was awfull. there was this Giant Sharptooth chasing everyone, he Ate everybody that didn't get away fast enough. he got you, Grandpa, Mr. Threehorn, the others. THEN HE GOT ME!!!" Littlefoot exclaimed as he was terrified of such a dream seemed so life-like.
"Shhhh" Grandma said again, "relax. it was just a bad Sleepstory, it wasn't real." she stated and looks upward. "Maybe some Treestars would settle you?" Grandma stated as she took a branch of a tree in her mouth and broke it off.
"Yeah, Maybe... I hope." Littlefoot said to himself before taking a bite out of the Treestar pile.
within a few seconds Littlefoot ate the entire pile. letting out a loud burp, he looked up to grandma.
"Thanks grandma, I feel much better now." Littlefoot said.
"Good! Lets go to the thundering Falls, its time for your bath." Grandma stated.
Littlefoot, not liking the thought of taking a bath. walked to the thundering falls. there he met the rest of his friends.
"Hey Guys!" Littlefoot shouted to his friends.
"Hey littlefoot, we're about to go play a game, wanna join?" Cera asked.
"Sure!!!" Littlefoot replied with glee. then he remembered why he went to the thundering falls, "AAAH! I forgot, I got to take a bath."
Cera sighed out of impatiance. "Fine, we'll be over at the tall grass when your ready."
"OK! I'll be there soon." Littlefoot stated.
as the other went off to play, littlefoot got his bath. he ofcourse didn't like one bit of it.
a few minutes later, after his bath, Littlefoot's Grandpa walked up to him before he ran off to play.
"Littlefoot, I heard you yell so loud, heh, I thought my hearing loss was cured." Grandpa stated jokingly.
"Yeah, I had a bad sleepstory." Littlefoot replied.
"Grandma Told me about it. sounds much more like a sleep terror." Grandpa stated...
Littlefoot was puzzled. "Whats a sleepterror?" Littlefoot questioned.
"Its a terrifying experiance. everything can look, feel, and even SMELL life-like. I had a few myself." Grandpa replied with a look that, he doesn't want to remember, but he had to tell littlefoot.
"Can they ever come true?" Littlefoot questioned again.
"NOOO!!!!" Grandpa replied terrified, as if he was holding something back.
Littlefoot, having enough of the conversation, thought it be best if this conversation ended.
"Well, thats good. I'll talk to ya later about it sometime." Littlefoot said, to change the subject.
"Yes, uh, yes. go, play. and try to get it off your mind." Grandpa said, wanting to change the subject as well.
later that day, the children, Cera, Ducky, Spike, Petrie, Chomper, Ruby, and Littlefoot play a game of catch with a cocanut. Chomper inadvertly Kicks it so hard it bounces around till it flys out into the mysterious Beyond.
"AH MAN!" Cera yells.
"Now how are we gonna play catch? cuz without one of thoughs tree rocks, we can't play catch." Ruby asked.
Chomper, feeling a sence of responsiblility for the loss of the cocanut desided to go retrieve it.
"I'll go get it." Chomper said to the others.
"But there are sharpteeth out there, there is, there is!" Ducky stated. with spike simply noding his head. "Mmmhmmmm"
"Uh, I am a sharptooth. I can just tell them to go away" Chomper stated. "besides, I can do this. how far could it have gone?"
Chomper walked off to go find the cocanut. once he found the bones of a dead longneck he knew he was in the Mysterious beyond. he keeps looking around, not noticing how far the cocanut realy went. finaly he finds the Cocanut sitting infront of a large cave, with large boulders blocking the entrance.
"THERE IT IS!" Chomper exclaimed.
when out of nowhere a loud voice yelled.
"WHO DISTURBEDS MY SLUMBEEERRRRRRR!!!!!" the voice yelled, the loudness made the ground shake. scaring Chomper halfsenceless.
"Wh, whoooos Th-th-There?" Chomper studdered.
"I... Am Tornetar." the voice announced.
Chomper didn't like the situation he was in. but then he thought, if the individual was in the cave, they may need help, and he should try to talk to them.
"Do you need help? are you trapped?" Chomper asked with a friendly voice, hoping whoever is inside is realy just a poor soul who is just grouchy because they are trapped.
the voice didn't respond for a few minutes. then in a loud and seemingly desperately the voice yelled out again.
"YES!!!, Help, I was, um. Being chased. by this large sharptooth, I uh... went, into this cave to hide, but an earthshake made these large rocks fall, and close the cave behind me. now I can't escape and wreak, ERR, I mean, find my family. Yesss." Tornetar stated.
Chomper, feeling sorry for Tornetar, desided to help the seemingly trapped individual out.
"Is there a way I can help? what can I do?" Chomper asked, so he can help.
"do you see a large rock, bigger then the rest, laying in the center, closest to the ground? if you remove it, the rock pike will become week at the top, and I can push myself out." Tornetar stated.
Chomper looked around, and sure enough the large boulder sat right infront of him.
"Gee, How did you know it was there?" Chomper asked.
"NEVERMIND THAT! JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!, ER! I mean, please, I am getting hungry." Tornetar yelled, "the best way to remove it, is to pry it, while using the rest of the large rocks to push it downward. the large boulder would not take the weight and will fall over." Tornetar stated.
Chomper was quite perplexed, how did Tornetar know how to free himself?
"Uh, if thats how it should be done, why haven't you done this?" Chomper asked.
"Because, the rocks behind the large boulder prevent me from digging to it. when I do try to dig to the large boulder, more smaller rocks fall into the place of the bigger ones." Tornetar explained. "Thus, I have deduced that only someone outside can do this, though the only one that has came along, is you." Tornetar stated.
Chomper felt a little better about the idea, he guessed that the rocks must be packed in so much because the large rock was preventing the rest of the rocks from falling out. but one thing about the rocks that caught his eye, was that there where vines and dirt on the rocks. as if the rocks have been there for a long time.
None the less, Chomper felt he had to help Tornetar out. after finding a large stick, he pushed, tugged, huffed, and puffed to move the boulder. after a short break. he got to the top of the boulder by climbing a vine, and begun to pry the boulder at the top, then a rumble was sound. and the boulder fell over, the rocks began to fall.
"YAAAAAAYYYY!!!! I DID IT!!!" Chomper joyfully yelled.
"Did what?" Littlefoot said, as the rest of the gang finaly found littlefoot.
Cera was unhappy with the waiting, and desided to find chomper to play a diffrent game.
"yes, what did you do?" Ruby asked.
Chomper had a big smile, feeling a sence of accomplishment and knowing he helped someone made him feel good.
"I helped my friend Tornetar out of this cave. well almost, I have to remove the other rocks. I am sure he must be weak being trapped in a cave for so long." Chomper replied.
then. a large earthshake rocked the seven small dinosaurs. and the cave began to crumble.
"No, I am not weak, I can free myself now. thanks to you Chomper, I can now continue my conquest, and rule the Great Valley, I will Crush the Valley walls, and my brethrin shall devour every single plant eater on sight!" Tornetar gloated, as his Eyes became visible.
The small dinosaurs where shocked to what they heard.
"YOU TRICKED ME!!!" Chomper cried. "YOU wanted me to release you so you can Kill my friends!" Chomper added.
"YOU DID WHAT!" Cera exclaimed.
"I thought he was hurt. he said he was being chased. he said...." Chomper relised what had happened. "he lied!, YOU LIED!"
chomper began to try and rais the large boulder back into place. the other dinosaurs began to try to help. but it was no good.
"We have to close the cave back up, theres no way he can get out if we through more rocks into the spot the large rock was." Littlefoot yelled.
then a laughter bellowed from the caves. as the cave finaly callapes.
"You underestimate me children!" Tornetar gloats.
when the debres finaly clear. and the dust settles. the seven dinosaurs are shocked to see a gigantic Sharptooth towering over them.
"Its... Its... the Sleepterror Sharptooth!" Littlefoot said to himself when he realised what he was looking at.
the seven dinosaurs began running back into the Great Valley, Tornetar let out a thunderous roar. and began to wade through the bones of dead dinosaurs. twards the Great Valley. like a storm tearing though the land Tornetar destroyed the large rock that looks like a longneck, by bitting off the statue's neck, the stone longneck began to crack, crumbling into rubble. Tornetar let out another thunderous roar.
as the children run home, Littlefoot finds his Grandparents.
"Littlefoot, whats wrong?" Grandpa Longneck asked in worry.
"Grandpa, Grandma, The giant Sharptooth, its real! its coming! we saw it!" Littlefoot said with a frantic expression.
Grandma longneck looked at littlefoot, while Grandpa looked tward where the children where running from.
"Littlefoot, there are no such things as Giant Sharpteeth." Grandma Longneck said.
"Oh!, there is. Yes Yes Yes! and he's mad!" Ducky correcting Grandma longneck.
"Yeah, Tornetar is coming this way!, he's big and is coming!" Ruby said.
Grandpa was fearfull, when he heard the name Tornetar. he shook for a moment. in his mind. he could hear the screams of scared individuals, and a loud, low pitched roar rings in his mind.
"D-D-Did you say Tornetar!?" Grandpa asked out of fear.
"Yeah, wait. Grandpa, you know something. this has something to do with my sleepstory. doesn't it?" Littlefoot asked.
Grandpa looked to his wife, who looked at him with confusion.
"I lied Littlefoot. the sleepstory you had wasn't a sleepterror. it was a sleepwarning." Grandpa finaly admitted. "I had one myself. before my first encounter with Tornetar. Littlefoot. Tornetar was a giant Sharptooth that fought the loan Dinosaur. the only reason he didn't return, was because he was trapped in a cave." Grandpa said.
"but the sharptooth you told us about wasn't as big." Cera said.
"and Not as big either, oh no no no!" Ducky added.
Grandpa sighed. and looked at the young dinosaurs.
"I exagerated the story a bit so as not to frighten you too much young ones. the story wasn't made up though. it was real." Grandpa said. trying to explain.
"what are you saying dear?" Grandma asked out of consern.
"I was there durring Tornetar's first attack. when I was young, I lived in a lush forest with my parents. untill one day...." Grandpa begin to think back to when he was younger.
in a green forest, a young Grandpa longneck played in a pond, then a thunderous roar made him freeze in his steps, he looked over to see his parents fighting a Giant Sharptooth.
"GRANDPA!" Littlefoot yelled snapping Grandpa Longneck into reality.
"Tornetar killed my parents, before he was defeated and captured by the lone dinosaur." Granpa finaly confessed.
before another word could be said. loud footsteps where heard, and a section of the Great Valley's wall began to crumble down to the ground. as the Dinosaurs ran for they're lives Tornetar's head rose over the rubble of the great wall, and roared once more to the sky as he waded through the rubble, with Normal sized Sharpteeth and Fast Biters began to swarm the Great Valley.
To Be Continued.
Next on The Land Before Time, Tornetar begins to wage bloody war on the inhabitants of the Great Valley. Spike, Petrie, Cera and Littlefoot go out to search for Doc, and Grandpa and Grandma Longneck and the other Dinosaurs of the Great Valley battle Tornetar all in the second part of.
