Longtail and Cyrix both whirled around and said simultaneously "He's alive!" Longtail then began to run around in circles as he continued to say "He's alive...he's alive!" Cyrix had to grab his nephew before he hurt himself, and smiled as he said to the others "I told you it was just a matter of time..."

Malo saw them all dancing around then spoke out to Turla "send me the visual and sensor data to my computer please commander"

"It been sent right now, but why?" Turla asked

"I think I understand what your saying, the captain you have on board is the one that sent the messenge to us yesturday" Malo replied

"I see, doing now" Turla said and then on Malo's display it starts to show the image as the ship arrived and watch it all her expression changes in moments and Cera notices.

Cera saw the reaction from Malo "Guys something not right. Look at Malo, she not happy about something"

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #542 on:** March 02, 2008, 04:45:18 AM

Longtail's smile suddenly faded as he heard what Cera said, he immediately turned around and said "What's wrong?!" He then rushed out of his uncle's grasp and over to where Malo was sitting and tried to look at the compute screen to see just what was happening.

"I don't know how to explain it to you" Malo sighed then suddenly a transport beam caught her eyes and the Captain stood there but he had burned clothing but been treated from the heat. "Commander Malo I think it best if I do this myself."

"Understood sir" Malo then gets up "Captain it good to see you again"

"Like wise, but with a temporal paradox... now I know why Admrial Janeway gets headaches about them" Andrew and Malo laughed a little then he turn to Longtail. "I heard my counterpart gave the word of returning. with a bit of a paradox it came ture but here where I need to explain, everyone has to agree to listen to this" Andrew look to the other kids.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #544 on:** March 02, 2008, 05:00:47 AM

"Of course Captain Andrew sir!" said Longtail while bowing his head to show respect. Cyrix walked over and said "You have my word of this secret as well!" Cyrix then sat next to Longtail and waited for the other children to speak before Andrew started giving his explanation.

Guido nodded, "I'll listen, I am very curious." He said, and tried to get a look at the neat thing that Malo had.

"So is this the same you that we met, or another you?" Guido asked, thinking it sorta almost made sense if you didn't think to much about it.

Dash The Longneck · **Reply #546 on:** March 02, 2008, 08:18:22 AM

"You have my word as well. "Littlefoot said with a interested look on his face like he wanted to know what happened as well.

"Me too" Petrie said excitedly.

Threehorn · **Reply #547 on:** March 02, 2008, 09:53:04 AM

"YEah tell us already" Cera spoke

"We want to know oh yes yes yes" Ducky said

Andrew nods clamly. "Very well. I am Andrew Threehorn in every way but my experiences differ from the Andrew you know from yesturday. In my view the first plan went out and we went on the attack and the sublight stream hits this world. Me, Vil, Sli and 8 others was the last leaving creatures on this planet as the core almost explodes. the other 8 are... well you 8 kids. So with this Paradox there is another set of you lot. Another Longtail, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, SPike, Petrie, Guildo, CHomper and Ruby. But to them they lost their home the Great Valley, their families and everyone else they knew... all gone to their own prespective" Andrew explained to them all.

"We was close to death ourselves burning up from the heat then the Cretaceous beams us all aboard as our world blows and then our timeline vanishes forever when my counterpart stops the rip from destorying this planet. A Temporal Paradox is formed and in that we survived to live on in this timeline when really we shouldn't" Andrew explained it best he could to them all. "Also, I promised each of them that I would become the guardian or in a way their new father if we lived and also Promised Cera's father at his last breath..." Andrew finished explaining then spoke "That sums out the details... questions?"

"Do they know this plan worked? It would not be the same as their world but a version of their parents, friends and such still exist. I guess it's to much of a paradox to have them here too." Guido said, partially understanding what was said, or so he thought. He thought for a bit before some questions did form in his mind. "We are glad that at least one version of you made it. Do you find it hard to adjust to this new timeline?" Guido asked.

(ooc: Could be an interesting spin off rp at some point in the future. The ones who did survive and are from the original time line new in another universe and time.)

"Not at all Guildo, I been through enough of those to last a life time and back again" Andrew chuckled "As for the other selves I said that I'll see what I can do to get you lot to come on board and speak to your counter parts. they wanted to say some things privately to you guys, it was their request" Andrew said to each of them.

"Talking to myself wow that be pretty strange" Cera blinked

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #550 on:** March 02, 2008, 11:50:34 PM

Longtail then said "So you mean that because of what the Andrew in our time did, you got to live, and now there are two groups of us???" Cyrix nodded his head and replied "It seems that is the case my nephew." Longtail then smiled sheepishly as he said "This is going to be so cool!"

Kor · **Reply #551 on:** March 03, 2008, 05:39:20 AM

Guido nods, then gets an idea. "Maybe we could pick out gifts to give to our other selves, since they may never be in this time again. Also do you think the other Cera may want to speak with Mr Threehorn here? There may be some stuff the two of them may want to talk about in private." Guido said.

Threehorn · **Reply #552 on:** March 03, 2008, 05:51:09 AM

"No... to Cera the counterpart her father is dead, she saw him die right before her eyes and so did many others up there and Remember the counterpart of you seen so much death and seen the world rip apart suffering from the heat as well, he'll will be in more pain then they look in a mental way." Andrew said to them all and then hear a comm link. "Yes?"

"Captain, the young female Triceratops wants to speak to you" Turla spoke.

"Very well patch Cera through" Andrew answered and then everyone heard Cera's voice

"Andrew... I kind of been listening... I don't want to see my othersevles father... but I will see Cera face to face, could this huge flying Cretaceous land outside the Valley?" Cera's voice sounded quite different from the one beside them. Almost like she'd suffering from the pain of losing so much of her home and other things.

"Very well, Turla land the ship over at the northern side of the Great Wall, you should see a flat landscape that has no life around it since it part of the desert" Andrew agree to what Cera asked and telling Turla

"Not sure why we breaking the Prime Directive here but it must be important. Turla out" Andrew then turns to the others.

"That sounded like me... but it sounded like that Cera was really hit hard from what she lost compared to me... I feel sick" Cera moaned a little "Knowing my daddy and everyone alive and my otherself lost everything, the Great Valley, her dad... it don't seem fair..."

"Nothing always fair Cera" Malo said softly "Paradoxs like this one leaves problems like this hard to resolve."

"We can still pick out gifts for us to give to our other selves, that may be nice." Guido said.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #554 on:** March 03, 2008, 04:00:12 PM

A small frown appeared on Longtail's face as he said "Well...if I know me...then a gift is the last thing I'd want. Even right now...I'll bet he's just trying to be alone in a hole, or corner somewhere."

Cyrix came over and placed his hand on Longtail's head as he whispered "Not everything is how you see it...you don't know, the other Longtail might be happy to see you."

Threehorn · **Reply #555 on:** March 03, 2008, 07:45:05 PM

"Last time I checked after he was treated, He was with Lt. Commander Fluiax our Sublight Chief engineer at the Sublight stream engineering asking a dozen of so questions which Fluiax is happy to answer to" Andrew spoke about the other Longtail.

"I believe his just trying to get his mind off the whole end of the world thing that happened and seeing that the world in another timeline lives on. BUt I do remember he wanted me to give you this Longtail, he'd said it your... or says in his words ours most secert and valuable item" Andrew finished speaking thinking about Longtail on the ship then pull out of his pocket the item and hand it to Longtail. "He'd said you'll know what he means and why you know he wants to speak to you, when the ship landed of course"

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #556 on:** March 03, 2008, 09:33:06 PM

Longtail 's eyes widened as Andrew pulled the item out of his pocket... ]'I-It's the stone...I can't believe this.' said Longtail to himself as he looked to his uncle who eyes had also widened at seeing Andrew pull out the item. Cyrix then spoke up "Longtail is that the stone we found a few days ago?"

The young flyer nodded and said "Yes that's it...I hope this ship lands soon I need to talk to my other self and fast!" Cyrix was a bit confused by his nephew's urgency but knew that it must be important.

'The stone is starting to glow....oh boy...this had better be some good news!' thought Longtail tho himself.

Kor · **Reply #557 on:** March 03, 2008, 11:44:20 PM

Guido watched the exchange and dialog between Andrew and Longtail, thinking a stone would make a good gift indeed. He looked around looking for an interesting looking stone or something other he could give.

Threehorn · **Reply #558 on:** March 04, 2008, 04:03:31 AM

A booming sound comes from somewhere far then Ruby and Chomper see something in the distance something coming towards the Great Valley from very high up in the sky.

Kor · **Reply #559 on:** March 04, 2008, 11:17:58 AM

Guido jumped when he first heard the boom, then looked in the direction of where the sound came from.

"Is that them coming?" He asked looking over at Andrew.
