In the land before time

Pangaea · **Reply #920 on:** November 20, 2009, 01:31:05 AM

Pangaea smiled, grateful for the praise both Mr. Threehorn and Rick had given him, but at the same time feeling bashful about receiving it. He was astonishedóand hugely relievedóthat Mr. Threehorn had shown no pain whatsoever as he had pulled out the spearhead. Obviously those anesthetic treestars really did the trick.

“Glad I could be of help,” he said, unsure of how to properly reciprocate Mr. Threehorn’s gratitude, “Just...think about what I suggested to you, about being considerate of other folks’ views before you denounce them.”

He took a moment to examine the slightly bloody spearhead, then jammed it
point-first into the ground, pushing on the end to drive it deep into the soil, so that it couldn’t hurt anyone else.

“There,” he said, “Now to get you bandaged up. I assume that’s what the crawler web is for.”

Pangaea set to work wrapping Mr. Threehorn’s wound with the spiderweb he had collected earlier. It made a surprisingly effective bandage, being naturally sticky, and absorbent to boot. It was also very strong, as it was a rather large spider that had spun it.

“There ya go,” he said to Mr. Threehorn when he was finished, “Hopefully that’ll hold for a while.”

He then turned to Tria, who, up until a moment ago, had been so quiet that he had hardly paid her any heed. “Actually, Tria,” he said, “when I left the Rock Circle, everyone else seemed to be making plans to fix that hole in the Great Wall. I’m guessing that’s where Cera and Tricia are right now. Maybe we should head there.”

“And...I, uh, don’t believe I caught your name,” he said to Rick.

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

Screech, who until now had been resting in front of the now nearly fleshless kill, reluctantly got to his feet.

“I didn’t expect you’d still be this eager to catch that flyer, after what happened last night,” he grumbled to Red Claw, “And if I may say so, it didn’t take the entire valley to stop us then. Still, if I’ll have a chance to get that accursed gliding creature while I’m at it, I’m in.”

Rick smiled as he could clearly see Topsy was in a much better mood. He then asked Mr.Threehorn a question. "Excuse me, would you like me to go check on Cera and Tricia?"

~~~

Spike continued to look and use his nose as he was walking around still sniffing for Longtail and grinned as his nose hit something soft. Spike then began to mumble and laugh as he nudged Longtail's sleeping form at the base of the tree.

Longtail groaned aloud as he blinked his eyes open and noticed Spike with a smile on his face. "I'm sorry Spike," Longtail said groggily "...am I blocking a plant you want?"

Spike on laughed again.

Grandma Longneck noticed the movement in the shrubs as well, and began to get a very bad feeling in her heart.

Mim walked over closer to where Sam was, "Looks like your wound needs some tending. i can do that if you wish." She said to him.

Belmont2500 · **Reply #923 on:** November 20, 2009, 06:26:10 PM

Belmont looked at Grandma Longneck and wondered what she was looking at ,then he saw it - movement in the shrubs "what..the..heck is that" Belmont mumbled afraid that whatever was in there may not be friendly.

Amaranthine · **Reply #924 on:** November 20, 2009, 08:56:51 PM

Amy whispered to Belmont, "I really hope it's not...well...you know..." She acted liked a sharptooth with her mouth open and her claws out like a sharptooth.

Red Claw replied to Screech, "Go ahead, do whatever you want, but remember, the flyer is mine." He grinned in the sunlight, feeling very refreshed and energized.
--------------
Mr. Three Horn's smile suddenly disappeared when Pangea told him that his daughters were with the rest of the herd planning to fill up the hole.

He mumbled, "That girl! Why does she always leave with her sister, why can't she just leave her with us?!" He almost didn't hear Rick, so he turned and said, "Bring them back here as soon as you can! It's a good thing my foot needs to heal...she would be in loads of trouble by now..." He growled.
-----------
Rebecca peered over the edge and saw teeth flashing in the sun.

"Guys, it's them! The sharpteeth are coming back!" She whispered to them.

Belmont2500 · **Reply #925 on:** November 20, 2009, 09:53:42 PM

Belmont was the first to respond to Rebecca "just perfect, Amy you might want to run" Belmont told the flyer

"Sharpteeth" Bron said, just having heard Rebecca like Belmont did.

Pangaea · **Reply #926 on:** November 20, 2009, 10:27:25 PM

“Oh, don’t be so hard on Cera,” Pangaea told Mr. Threehorn, “She just wants to helpful, and besides, she’s just as protective of Tricia as you are. I wouldn’t worry about either of ëem. But I’ll go and tell her you’re okay just the same. You take it easy.”

He turned to Rick. “Uh, listen...whoever you are...do you know where the hole in the Great Wall is?”

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

As he approached the opening in the Great Wall, Screech faltered when he saw the large number of dinosaurs assembled on the other side.

“Uh, Red Claw,” he said uncertainly, “I see the flyer, but there’s a pretty big herd with her. I don’t think it’s such a good idea to attack right now.”

Amaranthine · **Reply #927 on:** November 21, 2009, 12:33:07 AM

Red Claw roared, "FINE! I'LL GET HER MYSELF! Since you don't have the gall to go and fight no matter how large that herd is! YOU IDIOTS!, " He purposedly gave a warning stomp and snapped his jaws where Screech was.

His blind eyes were not burning red. He didn't give a darn in the world if he was blind, or outnumbered, in his mind, it was revenge. It was either his way or the highway.

He roared and ran to what he smelled was the Great Valley entry.

Amy responded in a stern voice to Belmont, "Yeah, I'm going to run alright."

Amy jumped on Grandpa longneck's back again and climbed up quickly up to his head. She looked down to see Red Claw run towards them.

"Get ready guys....we have our thing to fill our hole...." She smiled in an almost wicked way.

Rebecca lifted a brow wondering what Amy meant. Then for a quick moment, she realized and said, "Amy, are you sure we should risk this?"

Amy responded, "Well what else can we do, he's the thing that made the hole bigger, and he's coming our way,so why not do that?"

Little Foot looked around at the hole and saw Red Claw. He also jumped from one rock to the other and he teased Red Claw, "Hey blind guy this way." He tapped the side of the rock with his tail.

Red Claw snarled and roared.

While he roared a roll of thunder rumbled into the sky, and a flash of lighting followed, right then and there, Little Foot felt a wet drop of water fall on their noses.

This was the perfect advantage and disadvantage for everyone.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #928 on:** November 21, 2009, 12:51:17 AM

Spike heard the roar and instinctively buried his head into the ground.

Longtail on the other wing hearing the roar and knowing who it was, he jumped backwards and flapped his wings and rose into the sky giving his own screech not knowing there was a plan to deal with Redclaw. 'I just hope I'm in time to help.' he said mentally.

Grandma Longneck looked down and cried "Littlefoot!" She then reached over and picked her grandson up and moved him away from the wall. "Stay near me Littlefoot."

~~~

Rick looked down at Pangaea and said, "First, the names Rick, second yes I do know where the hole is. Come on, it's this way." He turned his head and for a moment stared into the sky as he whispered "I think I heard something bad..."

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #929 on:** November 21, 2009, 02:12:44 AM

"Get behind me, kiddos," Anna instructed Cera, Tricia, and Ducky. "Those morons won't lay a claw on y'all as long as I'm around." They did as told and stepped behind Anna. She was uneasy about what was to take place, but she knew she would help protect the little ones first and foremost.

Kor · **Reply #930 on:** November 21, 2009, 02:34:59 AM

"Sharpteeth, everyone get ready." Grandpa Longneck said as he looked around to see where they were and how many they were, and what types.

Mim looked around and picked up the largest bit of branch that she couldsee on the ground not to far off and that she could easily wield and got ready herself.

Pangaea · **Reply #931 on:** November 21, 2009, 05:52:54 AM

Pangaea cupped a hand to his ear. “I hear something, too!” he said, “I think it was a sharptooth roar...” He trailed off as he realized the familiarity of the call. “Oh, you gotta be kidding me!” he groaned, “Red Claw’s back already?!”

He started to get panicky again. Red Claw was doubtless attempting to enter the valley through the same opening the others were trying to fix. That meant that the entire gang, and several GOF members, would be exposed to his attack. While Red Claw himself might be hampered by his blindness, Screech and Thud would likely be with him to serve as his eyesóand provide two extra sets of jaws.

“Come on!” Pangaea yelled to Rick, as he took off in the direction he had indicated, “We need to get over there!”

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

Screech sprung back in terror when Red Claw snapped at him. Then his face twisted into an outraged scowl as the revenge-crazed sharptooth thundered off.

“You’re going to get yourself killed!” he screamed after Red Claw. You fool! he mentally added.

Snarling in frustration, he turned to Thud. “What should we do?” he asked him, “Help this bonehead or not?”

Myrkin · **Reply #932 on:** November 21, 2009, 09:38:46 AM

Claw couldn't believe that Redclaw was actually attaking them again and what is more he was doing this shortly after his previous failure. Didn't he see... well... smell, that he is outnumbered and with giving such a loud roar he will attract even more Valleyers (at least those who could fight). He must had been out of his mind, clearly.

Claw and Chomper gathered with Anna, Cera, Tricia and Ducky. The big sharptooth was higher league of fighters than green fastbiter, so it would be reasonable for him to protect kids if Redclaw's henchmen show up. Then he thought that maybe it would be better if children run away to safety, then the others would be able to focus on driving off the sharpteeth attacking the Valley. The question was: would they listen? They could, after all, want to stay with their friends and help somehow. Maybe they will agree to leave this place, if Claw phrases this order adequately...

"Cera, Ducky, Tricia and Chomper!" he said to children "We might need more adults to fight against Redclaw, so I ask you to go and find as many of them as you can and tell them to come here. Can you do this?" he asked, hoping that the answer will be 'yes'.

'Help him,' thud said as he charged. sam ran to the outside of the wall waiting for thud.

Belmont2500 · **Reply #934 on:** November 21, 2009, 11:20:03 AM

"Back so soon, well I'll see to it that this won't end badly" Belmont muttered referring to Red Claw,Screech and Thud.

The Chronicler · **Reply #935 on:** November 21, 2009, 11:40:54 AM

As soon as they heard Redclaw, Chronicler and Ruby hid behind one of the larger rocks. "Jeez, these guys sure are persistent, aren't they?" said Chronicler.

"They just don't ever seem to give up unless if they have no choice but to give up," said Ruby.

Chronicler looked around and saw a medium-sized boulder nearby. "Well, let's convince them otherwise. Here, help me lift this." He walked up to the boulder and only managed to lift one end of it.

Ruby barely managed to lift the other end. "What are you planning to do?"

"Let's just say one of those Fast-Biters is about to be out of shape - as in flattened," said Chronicler, quoting a part of one of his Bionicle comics.

They walked out from behind the large rock and saw Thud charging. "Alright, on the count of three." They began swinging the boulder back and forth. "One... two... three!" They released the boulder, sending it flying towards Thud. Unfortunately, it landed short and hit the ground with a big thud right in front of Thud.

"Aw crap," mumbled Chronicler, knowing what Thud now going to do.

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #936 on:** November 21, 2009, 12:24:22 PM

Thud saw Chronicler and growled. He ran toward him but before he got there he was broadsided by sam who knocked him to the ground. Thud hit the ground wondering what happened when he turned to see sam standing over him. "It's time for round 2,' sam said.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #937 on:** November 21, 2009, 03:32:49 PM

Rick's eyes widened as he shouted "REDCLAW?! HERE?!?!" He then looked down at Pangaea and said, "Just keep up with me!" as he began to run towards where the hole in the wall was located.

~~~

Grandma Longneck raised her tail and got ready to swing at any of the three sharpteeth standing in their way. "Why do you think they came back so soon?" she asked aloud

Longtail flapped into the scene and was rather shocked to see Redclaw so close. "Hey ugly up here!" he shouted hoping to get the meat eaters attention.

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #938 on:** November 21, 2009, 06:48:39 PM

The rain continued to fall as thud shoved sam in the mud. "You'll pay for that,' sam growled as he punched thud in the nose.

Amaranthine · **Reply #939 on:** November 21, 2009, 08:33:26 PM

Red Claw roared to where Longtail was, cursing at him, saying many vulgar words. He knew that wasn't the flyer he was looking for, but it was still just as annoying to him.

He whacked the flyer with his tail and roared at everyone and anyone near. Swearing, yelling, shouting, and he shouted, "WHERE IS SHE?! I KNOW YOU HAVE HER!"

Amy was still on Grandpa Longneck's head as she saw the blind terrible lizard roar, paw the ground, and she saw that he was making mud accidently. She grinned and jumped to a rock. The flash of lighting struck against the rocks, making them collapse. Amy saw Vincent near them. She screeched, "Vincent! Get out of the way!"

Red Claw heard Amy and charged where she was. Suddenly, the memories came back to Amy when she jumped upon Red Claw's head and blinded him. She screeched the loudest screech she possibly could. She jumped off, and Red Claw rammed into the rock, the rocks pilled all over him so quickly.

Little Foot was behind his grandmother and saw Screech and Thud fighting with the others.

He yelled out to the others, "Try to get Screech and Thud away from here, the rocks are collasping!"

Rebecca shielded Petrie from the rain and away from the battle scene, feeling the heavy, drenching water on her, and feeling the shock of everything that was going on.
--------------
Mr. Three Horn heard the roars, growls, and everything. He cursed his foot for being wounded.

"Why...why now?" He growled, seemingly to Tria, but it mostly to himself.
