For the Stone, or For Friendship?

Mitch placed himself in the rear of his group.
Littlefoot... Longtail... please be safe!...

He started walking, keeping his head up high, on the lookout.
He knew, that if the group ran into trouble, he had to get to the front fast.

Virgil looked at the others, saying...
"Are we going to move out, as well? I'd like to get moving soon."

'Yes we should, Zaine are you ready?' Shere nodded.

She was thinking about how the stone would look like.

'While we are on journey would you like to tell more about this stone?' she asked. 'Would be nice to know more about it...'

LBTFan13 · **Reply #183 on:** April 17, 2008, 06:19:59 AM

Chomper called out towards Virgil. "Yeah we're leaving! Hurry up or we'll leave you!" He laughed and turned back around to lead the group down their path. I just hope I don't lead them the wrong way.

Zaine nodded. "I'm ready Shera, and I'll tell you as much as I already know. The stone is said to posses magic powers those of which nobody has ever seen before. These powers can be used for both good or great evil depending on who reaches it first. These two egg eaters are looking for the stone for their own greedy desires. I fear they may want to enslave the Great Valley, which is why we have to find it before them." He hesitated before saying the next thing. "Of course, I have a reason to use the stone's powers, but..." He didn't entirely comfortable talking about his parents so much, so he figured unless Shera asked him about it, he would just not say anything.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ozzy released Longtail and stepped back. "Impossible! How the hell is he doing this?" He knew there was no possible chance of winning against Longtail now, so he had to resort to another method and fast. Fortunately for him, Strut was one step ahead of him. He grabbed Littlefoot and then wrapped his arm around the longneck's neck, somewhat choking him.

"I'm going to say this once you little freak! Surrender now," he then showed a very sharp rock, "or we kill your friend! Your choice!"

Mumbling · **Reply #184 on:** April 17, 2008, 09:35:52 AM

Shera listened to what Zaine told her. She saw that his face was full of uncertainty, so she decided not to ask what his goal was. 'Very interesting', she said, 'Thanks.'

'Ehh.. Shall we go now or..?' she asked with a silent voice.

LBTFan13 · **Reply #185 on:** April 17, 2008, 03:34:22 PM

Zaine broke out of wha the was thinking and laughed a little. "Not sure if you noticed Shera, but we've been walking for a good twenty minutes now."

"I hope it is not on a mountain that will blow up like the other one, yes I do." Ducky said.

"Me hope so. It shake more then Cera when she mad before it go boom." Petrie said.

Littlefoot did his best to try to struggle to free himself, unable to say anything.

Mim smiled at the joking, their spirits were high, which was good. "Yes so you'd best hurry." She said in a kidding sort of manner in her voice. She thought to herself for a moment. "I just hope the area the stone is doesn't blow up like I heard the other one did." Mim said remembering some of the stories she heard about the earlier incident.

(ooc: What kind of dino does Hunter look like?)

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #187 on:** April 17, 2008, 04:11:22 PM

Dante laughed as Zaine pointed out the fact that they had been moving for some time to Shera.

Virgil meanwhile was walking alongside Mim, and smiled a little at the other's joking as well.
"Exploding mountain, huh? Sounds... Interesting..."

LBTFan13 · **Reply #188 on:** April 17, 2008, 04:33:59 PM

Chomper shrugged his shoulders. "Well apparently the last stone of cold fire that landed here was a fake. but the two flyers that were after it didn't want to believe it. They started pounding on the rock hoping it would grant its powers to them, but then an earthshake began and the stone exploded. I'm not sure what happened to those flyers though." He continued to follow Littlefoot's scent, but he occasionally turned around to make sure the others were still with them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zaine noticed Petrie and Ducky making joking remarks about the last stone. "Well, I wouldn't be surprised if the stone exploded like the one you guys found. It it on Smoking Mountain." He then thought for a moment. "Maybe it would be better if the stone was destroyed. It would certainly prevent the egg eaters from using it's power." He then looked ahead. But then I couldn't use it to see my parents...

Clawandfang · **Reply #189 on:** April 17, 2008, 05:16:14 PM

Flying a little way above the group, Soar considered simply leaving. She could, after all...

But she felt a strange compulsion to stay. Her own curiosity would be the end of her. She thought she would be safe with this lot though, considering that they only faced two egg-eaters. Egg eaters were fast, but not particulary good combatants. They'd far rather run than take on any fight with even the smallest chance of losing.

Keep this up, though Soar to herself wryly, and you might actually convince yourself.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #190 on:** April 17, 2008, 05:38:49 PM

Longtail was trembling, not because he was scared far from it, but half of his didn't want Littlefoot to get hurt, and the other half of him wanted to rip these two egg eaters apart. Longtail looked down to the floor for a moment and whispered I hope the others hear this... He then inhaled a large breath of air, and screamed at the top of his lungs again, but it sounded more like a song than a scream....and as a result the ground began to shake.

After he was done Longtail willed his body to relax. he took several breaths and when he spoke it was just above a whisper "O-okay...just...let him go." Longtail then fell to the floor exhausted from screeching so loud and fell swiftly to sleep.

Cyrix smiled and said "well this should prove most interesting." He then looked up to see Soar high in the sky. He then frowned and called out "Excuse me Soar, but wouldn't you like to join us down here?"

~~~~

Cera momentarily looked up and glanced around and asked the rescue group "did anyone else hear that? It sounded like a scream." She then thought to herself A really familiar one too.

Kor · **Reply #191 on:** April 17, 2008, 06:28:12 PM

Mim nodded, as she paused to listen. "Yes, it sounds like someone familiar, I think I know who. It sounds like it may be in the rough direction Chomper is heading." She said.

___________________

"Maybe only 1 person can use it before it goes away." Ducky suggested.

Petrie nodded. "Maybe 1 wish then it go." Petrie said nodding.

_______________

Littlefoot stood there struggling a bit, he thought if nothing else this should spread his smell around the area since he was sure Chomper would be among his friends coming to rescue them. And with them standing here and not moving that was slowing the egg eaters down even more. Every little bit, he thought and hoped, allowed his friends to get that much closer.

lbt/cty_lover · **Reply #192 on:** April 17, 2008, 06:45:37 PM

'I think that noise was Longtail. I recognize it.' Vylor said.

LBTFan13 · **Reply #193 on:** April 17, 2008, 10:44:31 PM

Chomper nodded. "There's no doubt about it! That was Longtail! They has to be close by! Let's go!" Chomper began to lead the group in the direction he heard the noise and where he smelled Littlefoot's scent from.

(Because of page length, Littlefoot and Longtail are going to be rescued now.)

Eventually, the group came to a clearing, but they hid behind a bunch of trees. They could see Ozzy approaching Longtail and Strut holding a sharp rock towards Littlefoot's throat. Chomper looked towards the others. "That's them all right, but we can't go rushing in there. We should find a way to distract Ozzy, and then one of us could go around and free Littlefoot."

Ozzy smiled. "I knew you would see things my way." He turned to Strut. "Let him go, but tie them back to the tree, and this time make sure to tie their mouths closed."

Strut nodded, but suddenly, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He spotted Chomper. "Whoever is hiding out there, show yourself!"

Chomper gulped, realizing he had exposed himself. He hid back behind the tree and gestured the others to pull back. "Wait for the signal to come out guys," he whispered. He then slowly came out from behind the tree and approached the egg eaters.

"Well look who it is! You're all grown up! Still a bit small though," Ozzy sneered.

"And you're still ugly," Chomper commented. "Let them go now."

"Nice try," Strut mocked, "but you won't be able to overthrow us on your own."

"We'll see about that," Chomper muttered.

"We should have gotten rid of you when we first came to the Great Valley," Ozzy said. "You were lucky that time, but you won't be so fortunate this time around."

"You couldn't beat my back then, and you most certainly can't beat me now," Chomper argued. "You wanna know why?"

"Oh please do tell us," Strut mocked, and Chomper grinned

"Because I have friends... NOW GUYS!!!!!!!!!"

Kor · **Reply #194 on:** April 17, 2008, 11:24:37 PM

Mim nods, "It sounds like he's singing, not in pain." She said. She nods to what Chomper said looking at the sharpteeth in the group. "Maybe one or more of the sharpteeth may be best for that, their hunting skills and sharp teeth and claws together may make it easier to sneak around to free the two captives." Mim said as was part of the plan she mentioned earlier.

She hid in a tree with some bushes next to it. She bent down to peer out at what was going on while remaining hidden.

- - -

Littlefoot saw Chomper and was glad to see him, sure he'd not come alone. He tried to struggle a bit more and to also bite some part of the body of the one holding him as hard as he could. He was sure the others were nearby and wanted to try to help them and Longtail.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #195 on:** April 17, 2008, 11:34:57 PM

While Hunter was usually calm and waited to hear what the plan was...she was shaking from rage at the sight of the two egg eaters holding Littlefoot Longtail, and now Chomper...and as the young purple sharptooth shouted, she gave a devilish grin to Mim and said "Do what you have to do....I've got these two fools!" And leaped from behind her cover and charged directly at Ozzy teeth and claws ready to tear into him for holding her friends like this!

Longtail however was just waking up and all he could see was Ozzy's hand reaching down for his face. But then he heard a familiar voice, and before he knew it everything was a blur.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #196 on:** April 17, 2008, 11:54:25 PM

Motochika nodded, racing off next to Hunter, slamming into Ozzy with a vicious shoulder tackle.
"That...Is for hurting my friends!"

Virgil looked at Mim, a brief smile crossing his features...
"Then I'll go after getting Longtail and Littlefoot loose!"

He slipped quietly behind the egg-eaters, then stood next to Littlefoot and Longtail, whispering...
"All right. I'm here to get you two out. Here goes."
And in one slash of his talon, the ropes were severed, and the others were free...

LBTFan13 · **Reply #197 on:** April 18, 2008, 06:24:19 AM

Chomper noticed that Littlefoot and Longtail were set free already, so he turned back to the egg eaters. "What did I tell you? You can't win. I suggest you leave now before you get hurt! Of course, I really don't care what happens to you, and I don't think anybody else here does either."

Ozzy slowly got up after being slammed to the ground byt Motochika. "Great, he's right. Strut! Retreat for now!"

"Why?" Strut asked. "We can take them on!"

"Not now!" Ozzy warned. "We must wait for the right moment!" Strut nodded, and the two egg eaters turned around and fled into the bushes.

Chomper shook his head. "You two are nothing but a bunch of cowards!" he screamed at them. He then noticed Virgil, Littlefoot, and Longtail were joined up with them. Chomper ran towards Littlefoot and Longtail and tried to hug them both. "Oh thank god you guys are alive! We were so worried about you!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Zaine's group was making good time on the stone. Unfortunately, they got to a fast moving river current that blocked them from the other side. "Great, first the log and now this?" He knew how badly the log idea went, so how was he supposed to get across this? He turned back to his group. "Any suggestions guys?"

Lillefot · **Reply #198 on:** April 18, 2008, 07:25:23 AM

This was perfect.
Mitch took a huge step in front of the fleeing egg eaters, and stomped his feet to the ground the hardest he could, making the ground shake.

"Well, well..."
"Aint I glad to meet you!"
Mitch had been taking a side step from the group as they found Littlefoot and Longtail, he had been waiting on the other side of some bushes, making sure no one fled that way.

Mitch looked straight into the egg eaters eyes.
"We're not done with you filthy cowards yet..."
"But I'm gonna give you two alternatives..."
"We can do this my way, and hopefully get out of here with no one more to be hurt"
"Or...we can do the other way ... which's, and trust me on this one sharpteeths... not gonna be to your favor."
"But just between you and me..."
He lowered his head to just infront of Ozzy n' Strut, and whispered:
"You better have a very good reason to hurt my friends..."
"Few things make me so angry as the likes of you..."
"And... you don't wanna see me angry..."
He looked straight into their eyes as he spoke.

Then he rose his body high over the thiefs.

"So, hows it gonna be?"

Kor · **Reply #199 on:** April 18, 2008, 07:36:43 AM

Mim seeing Virgil was going to free Littlefoot and Longtail grabbed a nearby branch on the ground and stepped out to stand somewhat beside to see if her help was needed. Seeing the two egg eaters flee she walked over closer to where Littlefoot and Longtail were looking at them. "How do you both feel? " She asked, looking around a bit to be sure the egg eaters would not be trying to sneak back.

_______
"Thanks for rescuing us guys" Littlefoot said looking at each of the rescuers, "I knew you'd be here." He said, not asking about the others since he assumed they were either a bit behind this group, had gone after the stone, or had to stay behind for some reason.

To Mim's question he smiled a bit, "I've been better, but I'll be ok, especially with all of you here." Littlefoot said smiling at them again.

Ducky started to sing a song about going to the cold fire stone, Petrie joined in after a few bars.

We are going to the Cold Fire Stone
the last was a fake
will this one be too?
We won't know till we get there
what will we see, what wonders

Petrie added as Ducky paused, "What scary things" as he shivered a bit at the thought, then joined back in with Ducky

or things we will not understand
we'll not know till we get there
so off we are going.

(ooc: sorry if it's spam, decided why not try to put it in, the lyrics are not to good, but I'm not a professional song writer either)
