Author's Notes: I own nothing but possible OCs. If you're wondering why I'm making a Land Before Time story is because...I like the series. Got a problem with it?! Go jump off a cliff (don't do it for real though!)! This is rated T due to blood and gore. Some terms will be human but I'll try to go with what I remember from the series. Hey, I'm 17, what do you expect? Please note I only know the Land Before Time characters from the movies, so if you want one from the series in this PM me and give me EVERYTHING about that character.

Heads up: These two make a comeback and here's hint at who they are: "Who needs you?" song.


Land Before Time XX: Leaving the Great Valley

Prologue

The Great Valley, once a place of lush and green vegetation is now a dry, barren, lifeless wasteland due to another locust swarm, or "Leaf Gobblers", as the inhabitants called them and the newer generation prepared for a long trek to the same place when they were younger. Littlefoot, Ducky, Spike, Cera, and Petrie had all grown up and had kids of their own, most of the other herds left the Great Valley upon seeing hard times were approaching and now the current group were leaving.

"Dad? How much longer?" asked Quickfoot, Littlefoot's son and the older Longneck chuckled.

"We just left, have patience." said Littlefoot looking down at his son as Ali walked between the two.

"Hmmph! At least my son has more patience than any of yours." said Cera sticking her nose in the air.

"Says the one who couldn't stand tearful goodbyes with Chomper." said Petrie landing on her frill.

"Well...that...was different! We all grew attached to him didn't we?!"

Everyone looks down in sorrow except the kids who weren't born when the friendly Sharptooth left.

For the next twenty days, the group only stops to eat and drink when either water or green food is available.


Ten Weeks Later...

"Spike tired. Spike need to rest." said the stegosaurus as he slowed down near a large lake. Upon becoming a teen, Spike began to talk but he spoke in broken Flatteeth (English).

"Spike, come on we have to keep going." said Ducky stopping by her adoptive brother.

"Spike sorry Ducky. Spike needs rest."

The group then comes back and all take a rest.

"Hey! What with moving log coming towards up?" said Petrie pointing at the log slowly moving towards them.

"Who you calling a log?!" snapped the "log" in a scarily familiar voice as the Bigmouth Belly-Dragger had her head come out of the water completely.

"Darn it Dil! I told you to keep your mouth shut and grab one upon reaching the shore!" said another familiar voice as a bird landed on Dil's snout and then he noticed who was in front of them.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the troublesome little parasites. I see you've gotten bigger, which makes you bigger meals for the both of us. Probably enough to feed us for the rest of our lives!" said Ichy sinisterly as he rubbed his wings together in anticipation and as he licked his beak.

"How are you two back together? I thought you two hated each other." said Cera.

"We learned we needed each other but that doesn't mean we get a long, right Dil?" said Ichy.

"Right! Now hold still so I can kill you!" said Dil lunging forward only to get a whip-like tail across the face, sending her reeling.

"Ow! How big are they now?" said Dil, her vision blurry (isn't it always?).

"That's why I told you to use stealth you ugly four foot quitter!" said Ichy kicking Dil's snout.

"Well how was I supposed to know one would insult me?!"

"How about you ignore what the food has to say and just eat them?!"

The group and their kids sweat-drop as the two lose track of their prey and argue before...

*DISTAND REX ROARS*

"AHHH! Dil, swim! Sharpteeth incoming! We're dead if they find us!" said Ichy taking to the skies.

"Ichy! Ichy! Wait for me you cross-eyed crazy critter!" yelled Dil diving into the water and swimming after Ichy, while running...sorry, swimming, into rocks in the water.

"Ow! Who put that here?! D'OH! One of these days-! OW! One of these-OW! Ahhhh, forget it! OW!"

Suddenly two rexes appeared to the east and west of the group as the adults formed a defensive circle around the kids. The rexes began circling the adults, snarling and making fake lunges at the group.

"Stay in the circle!" said Littlefoot, swinging his tail defensively.

"Petrie-dive bomber!" said Petrie dive-bombing a rex before he slashed it across the eye with his claws and took off again before it could snap him.

"Ha! Petrie learn from previous mistake!" said Flyer as he flew above them, referring to what happened when he and his friends were kids during the time they first KILLED a sharptooth.

Cera put her head down and snorted before she charged the temporarily distracted rex and hit it full on in the stomach, her horns piercing vital internal organs before she ripped her horns out causing the Rex to slowly bleed to death, it roaring in pain as it slowly died.

The last Rex charged Cera as she shook her head to clear it from the blow she delivered and the Sharptooth nearly has its jaws around her throat when a purple-scaled Rex plows into it sending it flying into a nearby tree. The purple-scaled Sharptooth gets in front of Cera and snarls at the Sharptooth who gets up and roars and then charges its attacker and the two get into a fight while the others watch in shock.


END CHAPTER

Sorry if I made this short. Quickfoot, and the other gang's kids will be described in the next chapter. Have problem with Dil and Ichy being back? Too bad! I like the two, they're my favorites aside from Chomper.

Can anyone guess who the herd's savior is?
