Cyrix jumped as he watched Henry come out of the door way, and he was even more startled to see that he understood this creature. He at first took a step back, but then took a step forward again as the creature mentioned Mim.
"How do you know my mate?!" he asked/demanded. However as Henry pointed towards the inside of the new underground cave Cyrix couldn't help but be overcome with a sense of truth, as if Henry really were telling the truth, and with several reluctant steps he began to walk into the cave.
"So..." he began to ask Henry "If this isn't a trick, why am I or my mate here?"

Longtail wasn't expecting the rush of the jeep accelerating and as such he was clinging to the dash board with his claws digging into the leather as he watched the scenery rush past him in a blur.
"Uhhh...do you think you could...oh I don't know....SLOW DOWN!!!" he screamed as Peter continued to drive.

"Well a flyer friend of these kids needed medical attention,' frank said motioning his head at the kids.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #182 on:** February 28, 2009, 12:26:23 AM

Cyrix was stunned, as he asked, "What did this flyer look like...did he have a red crest on his head, and a very long tail?"

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #183 on:** February 28, 2009, 12:44:00 AM

"Yeah but he did he's doing ok now,' frank said.

"Oh don't worry, that boy's not loosing Petrie, Kit and Longtail without me saying something about it" Cera promised Diver and Mim as she looked at Cyrix and Henry walked back in.

Henry nodded, backing up what Frank said, "as for how you all are here..." he glanced to Hammond before continuing and not making Frank explain it again.

"We found out how to bring back dinosaurs, since...you all went extinct a while ago".

~~~~

Hearing the squawk and guessing what Longtail meant, since he didn't have his communcator he lent his uncle, Peter was nonetheless confused. "I thought we wanted to get there fast to help little Petrie there's mother?" Peter said as he swerved to miss a tree.

The little flyers next reactions of flinching and covering their eyes seemed to answer for him. He'd reached the pen by now, though, and stopped next to it. There was a the squawk of what sounded like two of the flyers they had within the pen and as Kit and Petrie fliched, the teen guessed these were 'sharp-toothed flyers'.

He shook his head, "Gosh, apparently while thinking they'd picked up Pterodactyls whatever Uncle Henry and Mr. Hammond and the others got wasn't the same kind at all...wonder what else we don't know".

He climbed out of the jeep and walked around the otherside, pulling out a backpack glider he happend to have thrown there beforehand. Kit tilted her head in interest and Peter just smiled, "you'll understand if I have to use it".

The teen then walked to the door. Kit had flapped over to the door awaiting it's being opened while Petrie was still sitting on the seat looking confused as he listened to the harsh cries of the sharptoothed flyers.

He remembered his mom though and flapped over as well.

"Ok, hopefully we can remain undetected" Peter realized now he had to way to communicate a plan to the young flyers with him, hopefully they could signal their way into something.

Slowly he cracked the door open and slipped inside. Kit and Petire, with a small gulp, hoped in as well.

They looked about, two sharptoothed flyers were circling and what appeared to be a walled in nest stood on a tree on the father side of the cave. "I think that's where the camera showed it" Peter pointed.

He walked over to see if maybe he could climb the tree or something.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #185 on:** February 28, 2009, 02:41:39 AM

Longtail flapped his wings and sped past Peter, Kit, and Petrie as he screeched a war cry and literally tackled one of the two sharptooth flyers who were circling the nest. He then tail whipped the second one in the neck hoping to draw some attention.
He turned to Kit and Petrie and shouted, "GO! I've got them distracted!"

~~~~~

Cyrix turned his head as he asked, "What do you mean extinct?" He then looked over to Mim and smiled brightly. "I am so glad you're safe. I...I was beginning to worry."

Hammond smiled to see that they were safe and said, "Alright, I'll explain it to you all in a moment."

Kor · **Reply #186 on:** February 28, 2009, 02:41:53 AM

"Now we do the hard part, we wait till they return." Mim said hoping everything went well.

Kit12 · **Reply #187 on:** February 28, 2009, 11:42:31 AM

"Yeah well, I hate just waiting" Cera commented. "Me too" Cory slumped against the side of this odd cave. Littlefoot laughed, "Oh you two. I'm sure everything will be fine" he said in a more serious tone.

~~~~

Kit, Petrie and Peter all looked shocked as Longtail tackled the sharptoothed flyers without even trying to be stealthy.

Kit and Petrie snapped too quick enough though, actually Longtail did this kind of stuff a lot, and quickly flapped their own way up to the tree.

Peter debated his glider in his backpack, but climbing the tree would be better than that right now, so he began to climb.

"Momma, Mom!" Petrie cried, reaching the nest and hoping everything was alright. It had all but been closed off on that side and so Petrie and Kit heard the voices before anyone saw anyone.

"Ptami, will you just stand back" Kit smiled as she heard her dad's voice speaking with a sigh, "as soon as I criss-cross these branches I defy anything to get through".

Petrie's mother sighed, "Tylr, that wold never hold against one of their young".

By this time Petrie and Kit were able to make a small rip and enter. At first to two adult flyers in the closed off nest looked shocked before Tylr smiled, "Oh, it's not one of their young, it's the two that belong to us" he smiled.

Then laughed as Kit all but tackled his beak, "You're alive!" the young girl cried.

"P-Petrie" his mother asked, holding her son back to look at him, "What do you and Kit think you're doing here?".

"Saving you" Petrie answered. His mother frowned, "Well dear it's very dangerous in here, you shouldn't have...".

Peter now made it to the top of the tree and Petrie's mom prepared to move her son out of danger before he and Kit explained. "It's ok, that's Mr. Peter" Kit said, "He's helping us save you".

"Oh..." the adults eased up somewhat.

Peter smiled, "Well they're ok, that's good, now perhaps you two should get the hatchlings to safety, I'm gonna go help Longtail" Peter glanced to where Longtail was still fighting off the sharptoothed flyers, the second one diving down to tackle him now that he was getting in the way of their hunt.

Tylr and his sister couldn't understand the adolescent looking human but they watched shocked as he jumped from the tree branch.

"Mr. Peter!" Kit cried, flapping forward and hoping for the best. She and the others watched in amazement as the glider came out of the backpack and swooshed him up.

"He...got flyer help without being flyer" Petrie said.

"Oh we gotta tell Cera about that, she'll probably wanna try it" Kit smiled, before realizing the trouble now Peter would be in.

Tylr had been watching and now turned to his sister, nephew and daughter. "Ptami, I noticed there's an opening down there that's open" he said, pointing to the door, "take the kids, I'm gonna go help our benefactor".

"Tylr are you crazy?!" Petrie's mom asked. "Daddy don't!" Kit next protested.

Peter would only need minimal help it seemed though, as he pulled a tranquilzer dart from him side and hit one of the sharptoothed flyers square on. It twirled down but landed mostly safely on ledge where it would awake later just having lost it's prey.

He looked to see how Longtail was doing with the other one.

Kor · **Reply #188 on:** February 28, 2009, 12:24:31 PM

"Gosh, I hope so." Chomper said, his eyes growing larger as he hoping for the best.

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #189 on:** February 28, 2009, 01:11:07 PM

"Mr Hammond do you think I would be able to use one of the UAV's to distract the sharptoothed flyers to allow they other ones to escape,' frank asked.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #190 on:** March 01, 2009, 04:34:51 AM

Longtail smiled. He didn't see what had caused the other sharptoothed flyer to fall from the sky, but he liked the fact that his odds of survival had just increased. He then dodged an attack by the sharptooth flyer he'd attacked, and grabbing it by the neck dive bombed it into a separate cliff face knocking it out cold. He then stood up and smiled at Peter who he was shocked to learn could fly like a flyer!
"Well that's a new trick for the human." Longtail said aloud to himself. He then flapped his wings and rejoined Tylr, Petrie, Ptami, and Kit. "So how did I do?" he asked positively with a smile.

~~~~~~

Hammond laughed as he watched the screen and heard Frank's request.
"I honestly don't think that will be necessary, come and look at this...." he said with ernest as he rewound the security footage in the Pterodactyl pen. "I think you all are going to like this!"

Kit12 · **Reply #191 on:** March 01, 2009, 12:55:16 PM

The first response Longtail got was for Petrie's mom to sigh, "Oh Longtail you really should stop doing such dangerous stunts...but we should also thank you" she admitted with a smile.

"Yeah" Tylr said, "don't know how we got boxed in where we couldn't fly away with sharptoothed flyers nearby, but--".

"They didn't know there was a difference" Kit said. Her dad and Aunt Ptami looked confused so she explained what had been explained to her about Jurassic Park

"Woah...kinda creepy that's doable" was Tylr's first response.

Peter landed and noticed the others odd, almost impressed, looks. He shrugged, "Oh wait until I get the translator back and explain airplanes" he said, signaling the way to the door.

The other flyers followed.

~~~~

In the Incubator room, Henry closed his eyes and sighed once the footage was over and done with, "Ok...well I didn't faint, but I hope that boy stops doing things like that", it was clear he was proud of Peter's handling of the situation though.

"I can only explain so many hard topics to his mother on weekly phone calls".

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #192 on:** March 01, 2009, 01:12:29 PM

"I guess you're right,' frank said to Hammond after watching the footage.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #193 on:** March 02, 2009, 01:12:35 AM

Longtail just smiled and began to follow Peter out of the flyer cage. He looked over to Tylr and asked, "How did you and Petrie's mom get here anyway? Was it during that big storm earlier?"

~~~~~

Hammond laughed at Henry and said, "Do't worry, the next time you have to call his mother, I'll talk to her. She does need to know after all that he did just pass his internship!

Cyrix shook his head at the video recording.
"My nephew always getting into trouble."

Hammond looked over to Cyrix and asked, "What do you mean..nephew?"

"Well you see, Longtail has no immediate family, so I look after him." said Cyrix with a sigh to answer Hammond's question.

Kit12 · **Reply #194 on:** March 02, 2009, 02:15:33 AM

"Well to tell you the truth, we're not quite sure ourselves" Petire's mom admitted, adding to the conversation, as they all exited and Peter closed the gate.

"But that's the best we can figure".

"Except..." Tylr said, yet then cut off as he looked to Petrie and Kit, it wouldn't do to scare them...and with Petrie that was really easily done.

Tylr turned back to Longtail and as everyone else was either staring in shock at Peter's jeep or preparing to get in, Tylr whisperingly commented, "I do...remember something right between that big storm and then waking up in that closed of maze of branches...it was like, a smaller trapped maze of branches in some cave I guess where the bright circle was really bright and there were a bunch of others like that one around" he pointed to Peter, "but I can't make that make sense with later when we were in there, so I might just be imagining things".

Alright, everyone hop in" Peter smiled and opened the door. Tylr frowned, "Good grief, did he just break that weird four legged things spikes or something?" he wondered.

Kit heard her dad and laughed, turning back, "No...wait 'till you see, it's not alive, it makes 'em go faster, like the flying helper thingy".

~~~~

Henry turned to Hammond shocked, "Oh when you said you'd pass him, you meant now! Well, that is a surprise, thanks; and yeah, Maggie defiantly deserves to hear that!" he commented on the call to Peter's mother.

Henry listened to Cyrix's explanation and looked surprised, "Really? Boy and we've still got scientists about, none that I know of course, who think of carnivores like T-rex, uh sharpteeth, as rouges that will abandon their young" he shook his head, "something tells me that's a false assessment if you can come to care better than some humans I've met; um, what I mean is, the carnivores among you must be not that different than you herbivores, or are they?" he asked Cyrix, glancing to the little Rex in the room with them and noticing how he seemed as kid like as the others.

Kor · **Reply #195 on:** March 02, 2009, 02:26:34 AM

"Gosh, I hope they get back soon." Chomper said.

"They have been gone a while and I am sure they will be back soon, I certainly am." Diver said patting Chomper on his back to try to reassure him.

Mim nodded, "it should be soon now, then there'll be more in this cave." Mim said to Chomper also trying to reassure him.

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #196 on:** March 02, 2009, 08:21:56 PM

"They'll be back soon,' frank said

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #197 on:** March 03, 2009, 02:43:05 AM

Longtail gave a wide grin as he looked to Tylr and Ptami.
"Oh trust me, you'll like riding in that thing, just uhhh...hold on to something, oh and..can I ride outside on the top, can I please?!" He then turned to Tylr and whispered back:
"I had something like that too, but I think one of their kind hit me with something sharp, look at the mark on the back of my neck..it should still be there."

~~~~~~

Cyrix thought about the question for a moment and finally he responded.
"Well, some sharpteeth are like us leaf eaters and will look after other young sharpteeth if they feel the need." He then looked over to Chomper and smiled.
"However sometimes when the need arises, all types of dinosaurs can come together for a good reason."

Hammond clapped and smiled.
"Now that, is an answer I like to hear." He then looked back to the computer screen and said, "Oh good, the others are on there way here. It shouldn't be long now."

Kit12 · **Reply #198 on:** March 03, 2009, 12:25:01 PM

Kit flapped up and signaled to Peter what Longtail asked about riding on top. The teen frowned yet then shrugged, "Sure, why not".

Tylr frowned as he noticed Longtail's mark. "Hmm...yeah, I'm not sure if I feel at ease with whatever their motives are myself" he said, "we might have to look more into this".

Peter then picked Longtail up and placed him on the roof of the jeep with a smile to answer the question. "Just hang on" he instructed as he and the others got in.

"So, this is what they do instead of running everywhere?" Ptami asked. Kit and Petrie shrugged, "I guess". Peter started the jeep up and the two adult flyers quickly found out what Longtail had meant about 'hang on'. They gripped leather as much as they could.

Peter squealed back over much the same way he had squealed out and parked in front of the complex once more.

When they re-entered the building Henry was just standing there with his arms crossed. Peter got what he meant and shrugged, "What, I was...getting them back quickly".

"That still doesn't account for the reckless driving" Henry shook his head, but that was all he said.

"So...what's this place?" Tylr asked, seeming to acclimate himself to everything new that seemed to hit them.

"Some cave of theirs where they put the little ones of us they bring back before we get big" Kit answered to the best of her ability. "...only, we got to be put outside for some reason" she added.

"Spike, do not eat that!" Ducky suddenly pipped up, walking over to try and stop the spiketail from eating a plant in a planter over near one of the walls, "we have not been asked and we do not know what it is" she tugged his head away, but not before Spike ate one of the leaves.

Henry frowned as he knelt down, "Oh, I hope that's a compatible plant substance with a Stegasaur diet" he said, turning back to Hammond.

Kor · **Reply #199 on:** March 03, 2009, 01:14:15 PM

Mim waved to the newcomers, "I'm so glad to see you folks here."

"yea, It's great to have you folks here." Chomper said smiling his toothy smile.

"Certainly nicer then being out there." Diver said from where she was. "Whereever here is."
