"That no your food." Petrie said shaking his tiny fist. "We chase them?" he said looking at Littlefoot.

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

Mim reached the area near the Thundering Falls. She looked around to see if she recognized anyone present before she went closer. [1]

Petrie's remark snapped Little Foot back to his friends and he decided, "Um Petrie...I think your uncle has is taking care of it." He pointed his nose to the sky to prove his point.
-------
Pterano spoke to try to coax the two flyers, "You know, it's not very nice to steal one's food away when their is plenty of food to go around." He hoped he would have to go to their level to fight them for the food.
-------------
Mr. Three Horn stopped drinking his water and ran next to Cera to see what was going on. He stared and saw the scene between the three flyers. He was puzzled as to what Pterano was doing.
----------
Amy nudged Anna and said, "Um Anna...aren't those your fish up there?" She pointed to the sky with her finger. If she knew how to fly, she would get those fish away from those winged robbers in a heart beat.

Anna was snapped out of whatever daydream she was having.

"Say what?" she asked in a confused manner before she looked in the direction Amy had pointed. "Hey! That's my dinner!"

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

The two flyers simply laughed at Pterano.

"Finder's keepers," one of the flyers sneered.

"What are you going to do about it, Lone Flyer?" the other flyer joked.

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

"What's going on, Daddy? Is Tria okay?" Cera asked.

Amaranthine · **Reply #1543 on:** August 08, 2010, 01:51:36 AM

Pterano shrugged in response, "Nothing. I'm just wondering, why would you go and get something that's already dead and probably eaten up already by flesh eating crawlers instead of a mouth watering, juicy, blood racing, fresh sliver swimmer that just ready for you two to get into your claws and in your stomachs." He decided to try to coax them out of their work again, hoping they would get the hint.

"In fact, I could show you the best fishing spots around here for the best juiciest sliver swimmers in the entire valley. Now wouldn't you prefer that over this scrap of skin and bones?" He pointed to the fish with his beak.

"But of course that's just a suggestion, if you want you could learn this the hard way..." He almost dared them with a fire and narrow of his eyes.
--------
Mr. Three Horn responded harshly, "Tria's fine! Tell me, what's going on here?"

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #1544 on:** August 08, 2010, 02:01:12 AM

Cera flinched in response to her father's tone.

"Geez, what did I do to make you mad?" Cera asked in a hurt manner.

"Those rascals have taken my fish, that's what!" Anna replied as she sprinted past the two. "Hey! Give that back!" she shouted at the flyers. Meanwhile, the flyers were grossed out at the thought of crawlers in the fish.

"With pleasure," they said in disgusted manners before they tossed the spear holding the fish down to Anna. Anna let the fish land on the ground in front of her as she watched the flyers speed off.

"Pansies," Anna snoted before she picked the fish up. "If you'll excuse me, guys, I'll get these outta here before they smell."

Pangaea · **Reply #1545 on:** August 08, 2010, 02:23:01 AM

“Sheesh, who were those two?” Pangaea asked, referring to the two flyers who had temporarily stolen Anna’s catch. “I didn’t think the Great Valley allowed characters like that in here.” That was awfully nice of Pterano to get the fish back from them, he thought.

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

Screech nodded. “Okay, Red Claw,” he said. “We’ll do it. You do know it might take a while to find an entrance, though. We might not be back for some time.”

He looked in Thud’s direction. “Thud, did you catch all of Red Claw’s plan? You ready to go?”

Amaranthine · **Reply #1546 on:** August 08, 2010, 06:24:42 PM

"Wait a minute! Don't you want to know where the best fishing spots are?" Pterano asked, being persistent on his promise to them.

Mr. Three Horn shook his head and snorted, "Why isn't that rude?" He shook his head in disgust. Then he turned to Cera tried to reason, "I apologize, I was just wondering what the ruckus was about."
--------
Amy shrugged as she added to Pangaea's comment, "Heh, well I guess that's the blessing of having wings and knowing how to use them, you can pretty much go anywhere you want." She smiled to try to ease the mood of the situation.

"I would rather like to talk with Ruby about cure, since this time you won't be foling my efforts at getting answer from her." Claw said after fastrunner, following him back to the cave, when they met Ruby. When Chronicler asked about Chomper, there was a slight rustle in some bushes and seconds later little purple sharptooth came out.

"I am here. We were just curious what you would talk about..." Chomper said with slight embarassment, as he felt guilty for eavesdropping on his new friends.

"Well... I guess it was quite understandable, with us behaving so secretive and all..." Claw said calmly, somehow not feeling angry at Chomper or Ruby at all "So... How much did you hear?" he asked.

The Chronicler · **Reply #1548 on:** August 08, 2010, 07:20:41 PM

"Actually, we just got here, so we really didn't hear anything that you said," replied Ruby.

"Good," commented Chronicler. "Some things were said that I don't think either of you would like to know about. At least, not yet." He then turned to Claw. "I'd tell her myself, but since it's your problem, I think you should tell her about it." Hopefully, Claw would tell that cover-up story in such a way that it would be believable.

"What are you talking about?" asked Ruby.

Kor · **Reply #1549 on:** August 08, 2010, 09:35:39 PM

"Me see. Me glad things ended with no fighting." Petrie said. "Me glad to see me uncle back." Petrie said, indeed glad to see his uncle but with Cera's dad present he was waiting to see what would happen, especially between those 2.

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

Mim looked around, not seeing anyone she recognized immediately. [1]

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #1550 on:** August 09, 2010, 12:51:29 AM

Cera simply nodded in acknowledgement to her father's response as Tricia came over to them.

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

Anna was busy looking for the lava pit that she had seen in the sixth film before. She was carrying the spear and fish the way a homeless person carries a bag on a stick. Just as she was starting to feel lost, Anna thought she heard a familiar voice.

"Do you feel better now, dear?" a female voice asked from somewhere nearby.

"I think so, yep yep yep. May I go play with my friends?" a much younger sounding voice replied. Anna immediately recognized Ducky's voice, and moments later recognized Ms. Swimmer's voice.

"You certainly can, but remember to come home if you feel bad again," Ms. Swimmer's voice replied.

"I will, yep yep yep. Thank you!" Ducky's voice replied. Anna could tell Ducky was coming her way, so she just remained where she was until Ducky appeared.

"Hello! It is good to see a friend again, yep yep yep!" Ducky said excitedly as she came up to Anna.

"I'm glad to see you're okay. How ya feelin'?" Anna asked as she crouched down to Ducky's level.

"I feel better, yep yep yep," Ducky replied.

"That's even better to hear. Hey, since you're feelin' better, I could use some help in findin' that place where Grandpa Longneck tells y'all bedtime stories. Would ya mind helpin' me out?" Anna asked.

"I would be happy to help, yep yep yep," Ducky said.

"Thanks, Ducky. Wanna ride or would ya rather walk?" Anna asked.

"I think I would rather catch a ride, yep yep yep," Ducky giggled as she ran up Anna's back and sat on her left shoulder before Anna stood up.

"Okay, let's go then," Anna replied before Ducky pointed her in the right direction.

Amaranthine · **Reply #1551 on:** August 09, 2010, 01:02:21 AM

Pterano saw that there was no response, so he decided to land down next to his nephew. He loomed down at his nephew, with his eyes starting to water. He adored his nephew, he always had a special place in his heart from the time when Petrie hatched. He was reminded of his younger self whenever he saw Petrie.

"Petrie, I see you at last!" He wanted to burst out of happiness.
--------
Mr. Three Horn saw the scene in shock and didn't even notice Tricia coming near them. He flinched but nothing more.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #1552 on:** August 09, 2010, 01:42:34 AM

"We are here, yep yep yep!" Ducky spoke up as the two finally reached the lava pit area.

"Perfect! Thanks, Ducky. You're quite a pal. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've gotta find some dead sticks and twigs on the ground," Anna replied before she set her friend down.

"May I help?" Ducky asked.

"Sure. Let's just look around this area and find what we can," Anna instructed the little swimmer. It took a few minutes, but the two managed to find enough dead wood.

"That should be good," Anna said as she set part of the wood up in a log cabin-style pattern before she formed a tipi with the rest of the wood on top of the log cabin pile. She then took the final piece of wood, lit an end on fire with the lava, and then set the wood pile on fire. Ducky simply watched out of curiosity.

"See how I did that? Best way to get a campfire started, though in my world we use matches or lighters," Anna said.

"That is neat, yep yep yep, but why do you need fire?" Ducky asked.

"To cook these guys over. I've gotta clean 'em out first, so if I were squeamish like yourself, I'd turn around and not watch this," Anna warned as she took the fish off her spear and fetched the sharp rock she had used to carve the spear earlier out of her pocket.

"Okay, then. Please tell me when it is over, yep yep yep," Ducky said before she turned around so her back faced Anna.

"So, Ducky. Does your mother keep pretty busy with all your brothers and sisters?" Anna asked as she cleaned the fish as quickly as she could.

"Oh, yes she does. We all keep her busy, yep yep yep," Ducky giggled.

"Sounds like she's very nice," Anna said.

"I think so, yep yep yep. You will have to meet her, yes you will," Ducky replied.

"Maybe I can meet her in a little while. I need to eat these fish before they go bad and I get sick," Anna said. After a couple more minutes passed, Anna was finished cleaning the fish. She discarded the inedible parts into the lava pit before she wiped her hands off in the grass. She really wished she had some soap and warm water with her.

"Okay, Ducky. I'm just gonna cook 'em now," Anna said as she placed the fish on the other end of the spear and held them over the campfire.

When Claw was about to tell Chronicler's cover story, he suddenly thought that he maybe he should tell Chomper and Ruby true version, especially since he wanted them to help him. He looked around to ensure that nobody else was listening to their conversation and then he said:

"I believe, that you deserve to hear the truth..."

After that, he told them how he was captured by Rinkus and Sierra, how they forced him to agree to be their spy and how that poisonous fruit looked like. When he finished, he waited for their reaction to his story.

Kor · **Reply #1554 on:** August 09, 2010, 10:04:18 AM

"Uncle, Me glad to see you uncle." Petrie said as he flew over to hung his uncle, very glad to see him once again. "You stay this time?" He asked him hoping he would stay and wasn't up to any of his tricks like he had been before. [1]

The Chronicler · **Reply #1555 on:** August 09, 2010, 01:40:06 PM

When he heard Claw say that he was going to tell the true version, Chronicler thought to himself, Great, my efforts have just been wasted.

When Claw was done explaining his story, Ruby was rather terrified by what she heard. Although she never met those particular Flyers, she had heard about them from stories her friends had told her. The worst part for her was that poisonous fruit Claw was forced to eat. She knew the cure, but getting it would be a major problem.

"Alright, now that you know what we're dealing with here, do you have a cure for him?" asked Chronicler to Ruby.

"I know the cure, but I can't give him the cure as quickly as you were hoping," replied Ruby. "That's because, as far as I know, the plant that we need to cure him can't be found here in the Great Valley. The only place I've seen that plant grow in is in that small valley where I used to live with my family."

Chronicler was rather surprised by this revelation. "Are you serious?"

"I'm afraid I am serious, otherwise I wouldn't be speaking so seriously right now."

Chronicler sighed in frustration. If he remembered correctly, a trip to that small valley near Hanging Rock and back would take a whole day. It was already late today, almost past dinner time, so the best choice would be to wait until tomorrow to start going there.

Myrkin · **Reply #1556 on:** August 09, 2010, 02:02:18 PM

"I am glad that there is a cure, even it might take some time to get to it" Claw said. Hopefully it will still be there and it won't be, for example, taken away by Rinkus and Sierra to ensure that he will not heal himself without them knowing about it. On the other hand, if they did something like that, then Claw would need to either spy for them or find some way to force them into giving him a cure.

"Alright. When do you propose we go to this small valley? And most importantly: what should we do about those two flyers? Should we tell all Valleyers about them right now?" he asked.

The Chronicler · **Reply #1557 on:** August 09, 2010, 02:30:12 PM

"I was thinking that we should leave tomorrow, as early as possible," replied Chronicler. "It's a little late for us to go to such a far away place today. Hey, Ruby, how long would it take to get there?"

"I think it would take all day just to get there, so it would take us quite a while just to get there," replied Ruby.

He turned back to Claw "Alright, as for those two Flyers, I think you should decide what we need to do about them. After all, you're the victim in all this."

Belmont2500 · **Reply #1558 on:** August 09, 2010, 02:43:31 PM

Belmont had finally arrived at his destination, though unlike last time, no one was here to welcome him, knowing this, he left.

Myrkin · **Reply #1559 on:** August 09, 2010, 02:44:04 PM

"Well... I'm supposed to report to them in the morning. Perhaps, I would be able to learn if they're planning to do anything more than rest in the Great Valley. Call me paranoid, but they have a few reasons to seek some sort of revenge on Valley or people that lives here..." Claw said, thinking about what happened in seventh LBT movie.
