https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12594177/2/Dangerous-TimesChapter 2: Discussion and DangerLittlefoot jumped up with joy after the announcement from the flyer. He was very excited that Ali would be visiting. He wanted to tell her all about his recent adventures with his friends, including multiple encounters with Red Claw and his fast biters Screech and Thud, and helping others, such as even helping out a herd of crabs, known as Sand Creepers, move to the Great Valley.
Then he remembered that someone else would be back. Rhett.
He had became friends with him the last time the far walkers visited, but he now believes might get in the way with talking to Ali. He decided to head back to his friends to tell them about this. Though he thought, maybe he could keep it a secret? They were friends with Ali and Rhett too, and they loved surprises.
"Nah, that wouldn't work," he thought to himself. "Their parents would tell them." He decided that he'd tell them about it.
He is then interrupted by a familiar voice. An old gray longneck with wrinkly skin and purple underbelly looked down at him.
"Hello, Littlefoot." his grandfather, Grandpa Longneck, said, as he greeted his grandson. "What are you doing here? You normally don't like to hear our rambling we do." he chuckles.
"Oh, well...I just wanted to hear." Littlefoot told him.
"Well, that is fine. You'll only get wiser and wiser, like us." his grandmother, Grandma Longneck, said to him.
"So, I heard our cousins are coming to visit soon?" Littlefoot said.
Both of the old longnecks chuckle.
"Yes, Littlefoot. Ali and Rhett will be here. Tomrrow." Grandpa told his grandson.
Unaware, Cam was watching them, listening to everything they had said. The longneck was an orange-brown color and had blue eyes. He also had white going from his snout down to his underbelly and under his tail. The top of his head, down his back, to the tip of his tail were colored black.
"Ha, so the little longneck's friends are coming to visit, are they? Allos will be happy to hear this. Well, I hope." the longneck said, before walking towards the cliffs to leave the Valley. "I really hope he isn't angry tonight."
He returns to his friends, and tells them everything that he heard about.
--------------------
It is now far into the afternoon, and it is beginning to cool in the Great Valley. The herds are eating and drinking, and playing with their children in the Bright Circle, which is now starting to go down. It will get dark faster in the Valley, as the cliffs block out light when the Bright Circle goes down below them.
Littlefoot and his friends continued to play Sharptooth Attack.
"Hold on, guys. Where's Chomper and Ruby?" Littlefoot asked, hoping for a good answer.
"I don't know, go look for them yourself." Cera said in a grumpy voice. She didn't seem to care in the slightest.
"Cera! They could be in trouble!" Littlefoot yelled out at her. "Does anyone know where they are?"
"Uh...uh uh." said Spike, trying to give as best of a no answer without actually talking.
"Maybe Red Claw founded-ed them." said Ducky, "I do not know, no no no."
"Me no know. Me not talk to them today" Petrie said.
Just then, Cera remembered Chomper telling her what he and Ruby were off to do.
"Last night, Chomper told me that they were going into the Secret Caverns today, but I'm not sure where exactly in the caves they went. They said that they were going to come back in the afternoon." she explained to the rest of the gang.
"Well, they should have been back a little while ago." said Littlefoot. "We have to go find them." Littlefoot was worried that they had gotten lost, or ended themselves up in the Mysterious Beyond, or both. He would soon be right about this.
--------------------
Over at the other side of the Valley, Cam was around the abandoned areas of it. He knew there would be sharpteeth around, so he was always on his guard. He soon reached a redwood forest with huge trees, much taller than him or any other longneck in the dinosaur world.
"Allos? Allos? I am here to speak with you." he said, clearly afraid. Though the sharptooth helped him in return for helping the longneck, he was still afraid Allos would kill him at any time.
But there was nobody there.
"Allos!" Cam yelled. Still nothing.
Suddenly some of the huge trees shook, and a large forty foot long, 5 ton carnivore pushed through the trees in front of Cam. It had green eyes, brown skin, and white underbelly, with two ridges above its eyes.
"Yes?" the sharptooth said.
"Ah, yes. I always forget that I am the one who taught you the flattooth language in the first place." he remarked.
The sharptooth snarled in the evening yellow light.
"Well. What did you come here for? I raised you for this purpose, so tell me what you are going to say. I can kill you now." he threated casually. He thought of the certainly not defenseless longneck as some small animal, rather than a force to be reckoned with.
"Well, the residents of the Great Valley are expecting visitors. A couple of them are related to and friends of the little longneck, Littlefoot. I knew you wanted to kill him. He buried you under those rocks and killed you, after all. It may be your time to send a message."
"Good, good. They will get a feel of what it's like to go after a manifestation of something. That "bad luck" couldn't actually have been reversed. They took the wrong sharptooth tooth to put back onto Saurus Rock. They took my tooth, the tooth of a browridge sharptooth." he explained to Cam.
"Thank you for the things you have done for me through the years. I don't think I have a use for you anymore." he said, starting to drool.
"Now, now, hold on...wait!" Cam screamed, before he met his doom...
--------------------
Meanwhile, Chomper and Ruby continued through the caves, hoping they would be able to find a way out.
"I thought I remembered this cave, but I didn't remember it, so I guess I didn't." Ruby said.
The cave they had entered was damp and cold. Their were insects flying around inside that were able to feed Chomper, however. There were also a few plants lying around, but it was very cold, and they were dying. They decided to follow some water, hoping that they would find a way to escape the dark and dreary cavern.
They had gotten completely lost. Ruby thought she knew where she was going, but she was wrong. They had taken a few wrong turns and gotten lost.
At just about night time, they reached the end of the cold cave, while Littlefoot and his friends neared the entrance to the Secret Caverns.
"I think this might be the way out." Chomper said. He looked up over a small hill right at the entrance, and was taken aback by what he saw. He was in the Mysterious Beyond, and had just seen something that instantly struck him with horror.
That is it for now. You will have to find out what happens in the next chapter. This one was a bit longer than the first one. The length all depends on how much I can think on what to write. If I feel it should end at a certain part, it will end.
The first true danger part will be soon. I guarantee you that this story will get better.
