Almost immediately, Mo jumped out of the water and landed with all his weight on Littlefoot's chest. Mo slid off of him back into the water because the impact caused Littlefoot to start coughing up a lot of water. Though his lungs didn't start working normally right away, his breaths slowly became less shallow and rapid and he was eventually able to take in bigger amounts of air, but it still sounded like he was gasping because his lungs hadn't completely cleared yet.

Um, Dark Pterano? I see that this is your first post on this topic, so I take it you're a bit new to the topic itself? Don't worry, everything's fine and all, but I think we have a slight misunderstanding here. You see, this topic wants one or more battles prepared and you did a great job! More fights than most people at one time have presented so far, very interesting match ups, and none have a very obvious finish. I'm impressed on how well you started with those very original battles. It's just that, the topic would prefer it if you could perhaps decide a winner to the previous battle(s). And if you wanted, you can even make some interesting explanation on what led you to your choice. But as I said, nothing to worry about. When I come to a new place, I'm so eager to contribute to the group that I'll occasionally misunderstand something here and there too. Nothing that important, but something that slightly alters the current flow of things. Everyone always understands here, so relax. Since Drake was here a bit earlier, I think I should answer his. However, since you did just arrive, and you put so much thought into those very good battles with very unknown outcomes, here's what I'll do. After I answer Drake, I doubt it would be looked too highly upon if I answered two in a row without giving one myself. So I'll answer Drake, then sign off without giving a battle of my own, so the next person here can answer the great battles you've chosen. Sound fair? I can set things back up so Drake's question is still answered, then it will officially be time for someone to tackle yours. That way, you don't have to change anything. This happens to everyone.

Wow, Goku versus Super Sonic and Super Shadow, huh? Well, since you specifically mentioned the hedgehogs' being transformed but nothing special about Goku, I'll honor that and won't let Goku enter any of his "super" forms in this. Since Goku can sense power levels, he would see how strong his opponents are, and he would increase his power level as well. As they charge at such speed, all three would seem to disappear for a moment. Goku is bigger and stronger, but the other two are faster, so Goku gets knocked back from the momentum of the others, and the others from his sheer strength. This won't be quite as interesting as possible, becaue while I am aware of Shadow's chaos control, I confess that I don't know exactly how it works, being as I've only seem him do it vaguely with Rogue and Heavy from Sonic Heroes. So, let's see. Let's say they are on Earth with Goku, and since that world has chi, not the mystic arts as Mobius does, let's say chaos control doesn't work there. Goku quickly recovers and fires a kamehameha at the others who are really close together, but they separate at high speed and the blast misses completely. Sonic does a sonic spin which hits Goku's chest and he goes flying back into a small mountain which crumbles to nothing very quickly. He gets up to see both coming at him from each side, and just like in The Tree of Might, he extends both arms out and yells, "Energy Blast" which is a less powerful attack but nontheless makes contact on both opponets who were too close to move and they are knocked up, land, and continue to skid for several yards.

Now, I could keep this battle going for a very long time. I have it all planned out with a semi interesting ending. Goku's fights are rarely short. But since someone will surely get annoyed with a three page post, and since you all get the gist of how this is a pretty even battle, I will simply announce the victor(s) who would have won at the end of the fight I planned, which is Goku using one of his famous grand finales. I'm afraid his winning streak isn't quite over yet. Next battles: as I promised, Dark Pterano already has them made, so its his/her turn to be responded to. Later!

X-shaped vines sticking out of the ground were keeping Littlefoot stuck fast. Seeing this, Mo swam up and bit through the vines as close to Littlefoot's legs as possible so that there wouldn't be enough excess slack hanging from him to get him caught again. Although free, Littlefoot's lack of air had weakened his body to the point that he couldn't even make himself move, let alone swim up. Mo got underneath him, pushing him up as he swam. Reaching the top, he applied extra force to knock Littlefoot on to dry ground. But he still wasn't moving and his eyes wouldn't open...

Unlike my last post here, there is no information in the above signature that certain people wouldn't understand, so I can simply express my own opinion.

A lot people who watch The Land Before Time see the characters' feelings and simply observe them, perhaps undertstanding, but are often not personally effected. This signature expresses that he doesn't just feel for the character but with the character. There is such a connection between the writer of this signature and the character Chomper that if Chomper isn't feeling so well, he feels bad too. In the same sense, as in the example from the signature, if he sees that Chomper is feeling good, then he generally feels good as well, indicating that "The Lonely Journey" must have been a very horrible experience for the writer. It shows what a sensible sharptooth thinks: leaf eaters provide the nutrients their bodies need to survive, like protein, for instance. Unlike many sharpteeth who seem to be unfairly portrayed as actually wanting to just kill everything for pleasure, this is the moral way for them to think. The signature is saying two things. You can feel the same way as someone you care about, and that sharpteeth aren't murderers because it isn't their fault that their bodies were designed to need flesh to live. If sharpteeth didn't need meat, they wouldn't go around killing, hence it is for survival, not the thought of ending life. Considering how well it was written, how there were no mistakes or faults found anywhere in it, and how deeply it was thought out, I give it...

Now hold on one second! Most of you think that I'm just going to give him a perfect score to repay him for giving me one and the compliment. Think what you will, but unless you disagree with the reasons in my evaluation, I don't think people should start assuming that I simply do good things to those who do good things to me. Even if he had given me a 1/10 and said he thought my signature was an abomination to this site, my evalution wouldn't magically have different facts that say his signature isn't a good one. But whatever you think of me, well, I still give the above signature a ten out of ten for the deep meaning and the way it was written, and how the significance of having a bond with someone will allow feelings to be shared.

Looks like I was right. There is no way I could've thought of that myself, and no way for me to express it so well if I had. Thank you for explaining your field so well to those who don't specialize in that area (like me). Sharpteeth and flateeth both simply do what they must to survive. Neither is wrong in doing so, even though sharpteeth are considered the bad guys. Now that's annoying. Wanting sharpteeth to stop eating other dinosaurs is just as preposterous as wanting flateeth to stop eating plants! I couldn't possibly agree with that logic more. You really open up a new world (literally) with your ideas. (Sigh) If I had tried a little harder in school I probably would have gotten better than a C+ in Sharpteeth Social Skills and a D in Psychology and Meat Eaters (which I dropped by the way.) Looks like I found a good tutor though. But I wasn't THAT bad. I still got an A in both The World of Dinosaur Grammar and Leaf Eater Singing 101. Easy classes or not, I STILL got A's in them.

Yeah, the "mindless" thing about the sharpteeth other than Chomper's family is getting really old for me too. I mean, Redclaw is suposed to be one of the best sharpteeth right now, right? The next time they get away from him by running between his legs, scare him with an echo, hide from him when they were in his direct sight but then he just walks past their hiding place without noticing, or something of that nature, well, my annoyance meter is going into red. I mean it.

I don't think that this is what the previous post was referring to though; that was just my own random thought I had that I put at the beginning of this post. I believe brekclub85 is referring to how it seems most sharpteeth are portrayed as having no feelings, are highly unintelligent, and go around killing just to kill even when they don't need the food. Of course, I just work here part time as a general aid. Brekclub85 is full time in the sharpteeth department, so any further explanation from me on this subject would be wasted, since he knows the subject fully and can explain it much better than I could. I even doubt I explained my summary explaination on this matter as accurately as possible. Oh well. I tried my best.

"Please don't get mad at me Cera!" Ecco called to her playfully with a grin. "I just thought you were acting a little too dramatic just then." With that, he comes up and sits at the water's edge, soaking his feet in the cool water, not wanting to get all wet just yet.

Looking down, Cera replied, "Yeah, I guess so. Even Littlefoot commented before we even found the Great Valley how it's naturally more difficult for sharpteeth to swim because of their smaller arms. But you managed to learn anyway," the sadness in her voice very obvious. She had never forgotten how unsuccessful she had been with the log running game, no matter how much and many times she had tried, because it is so much more difficult for her kind to do that type of thing. Right now, she was actually feeling a little jealous of Chomper.

**************

"Here I go!" Littlefoot yelled, as he jumped into the water. But he made a much bigger splash than he intended to- and it went all over Chomper!

This is my report on the source of the quote in question: "It's this way"

In accordance with the guidelines mentioned at the beginning of this topic:
1. It is from The Land Before Time IX: Journey to Big Water.
2. Littlefoot spoke the sentence/statement.
3. The sentence/statement was addessed to Littlefoot's grandfather.

To show everyone who wasn't aware of what part this quote is derived from, I shall reiterate the scenario as best as possible:

Littlefoot climbs on top of a log, although he slips a bit at first.
"Gee, sky water has really changed the land around here."
He clears throat, then begins speaking in a deep voice so as to sound like there is really someone else there, in an attempt to make up for him feeling alone. "Think it's safe to go on, Littlefoot?" he asks himself.
Returning to his normal his normal voice, he answers himself by saying, "Sure it is. Maybe "we'll" find some new kind of creature like Grandpa said!" while walking off the log.
After going on top of a rock, he clears his voice again, resuming that deep voice which makes the impression to him that he is actually talking to a different character, and says, "Okay, but we have to be careful."
Using his real voice again, he challenges his "other self" and says, "Awww, don't be such a scaredy egg!" Then he gasps and exclaims, "Whoa!" after seeing all the new water in the Great Valley. "Look at that! There's so much water!" he exclaims.
Then with his deep sounding, "careful" personality, he says, "Uh, I think "we've" gone too far from home now, Littlefoot."
Now for the first time, he uses his normal voice to actually agree with his deep one, "Yeah. you may be right." With that, he runs off and the camera zooms out to show a lot of new water and that it's flooding part of the Great Valley.
When he comes back, he has a lot of grownups with him, including his grandfather. Littlefoot, who was leading the way to where he saw the new water, calls out when he arrives, "Over here, Grandpa! It's this way!"

I will patiently await evaluation on my report for as long as necessary. Thank you for your time.
