Chapter 8: Found
The gang began to start their search for Ducky and Tickles. However, Mr. Thicknose was making sure that he was staying with them.
(Mr. Thicknose) Children. Can you slow down for a moment? I'm not as young as I used to be.
(Cera) Why do we have to bring him along? Can't he just stay in the valley?
(Lincoln) If he doesn't come with us, he'll tell the rest of my sisters and the grown-ups what we're doing. After all, he's the wisest and eldest of us all. He can help us found our way through The Mysterious Beyond.
As the gang kept going, Winston found some more of the footprints. But still no sine of Ducky and Tickles.
(Littlefoot) They couldn't have gone too far. After all, Spike-tails move very slowly.
(Petrie) Me have an idea. Me fly up and see if me spot Ducky and Tickles.
(Mr. Thicknose) I was about to sugjest that.
Petrie then flew up into the air to find Ducky and Tickles. But as he got higher, the wind started to get stronger. And then his wings started to get frozen.
(Petrie) Wings...too...heavy.
(Winston) What's wrong with Petrie?
(Lola) Oh no. There's ice on his wings.
Petrie tried to get back to the search, but the wind was too strong. And then he found himself falling.
(All) PETRIE!
(Cera) I can't look.
(Lola) Me nether.
Petrie was falling really fast. He had to get back under control before he hits the ground. He then flapped his wings and tried to fly again. But he ended up hitting snow on the side of the mountain. But he was alright.
(Lincoln) He made it.
The others looked. Petrie was alright and nothing went wrong.
But then, sodenly. Everyone heard a rumbling sound. And it wasn't an earthquake.
(Lincoln) Uh oh. I know that sound.
And then, snow started to fall of the mountain. Everyone ran as fast as they can. Until Littlefoot, Lincoln, Cera, and Lola got hit by the sliding snow and were pushed to the ledge. But before they ended up falling off, the snow came to a stop.
(Cera) Whoa. That was close.
Petrie and Winston plopped out of the snow saking their heads. While Mr. Thicknose got up with only his head out of the snow.
(Mr. Thicknose) Children.
(Lincoln) We're alright. But we have a problem.
Everyone looked back at the path they came from. The snow had blocked it up. And it was the only way back into the valley.
(Cera) Great. Now we're trapped out here.
(Littlefoot) And so are Ducky and Tickles.
The Far Walkers continued making their way through the snow. And still they found no food.
Spike was getting upset. There was still no food and he was starting to miss his friends and family.
(?) Spike!
That voice sounded like Ducky. But could it be...? No. It can't be her.
(?) Spike!
Spike was also hearing Tickles' voice. But he and Ducky would never come this far. Was Spike only missing his family too much? Maybe that's why he's hearing things.
(Ducky) We can just say that it is alright. And maybe Spike will come back with us.
(Tickles) But what if he won't forgive us?
(Ducky) Then we can just say that we forgive him. Yep, yep, yep.
(Tickles) Good thing Spike-tail foot prints are easy to follow.
The 2 continued their search. Jumping from foot print to foot print. Until they both jumped into a big one. It was a Sharp-tooth foot print.
(Ducky) That is not a Spike-tail foot hole. I hope whatever Sharp-tooth made this just kept on walking.
(Tickles) Me to.
(Ducky) SPIKE! (echoing) Spike, Spike, Spike.
(Tickles) Hey. An echo. SPIKE! (Echoing) Spike, Spike, Spike.
The 2 then went on. Until they heard bigger foot steps.
(Ducky) Even our walking has an echo.
But then the foot steps got louder. And louder. The 2 then looked. The Sharp-tooth that made the foot print has come back.
(Ducky and Tickles) AAAAAAHHHHHH!
The 2 ran under the Sharp-tooth before he could even grab them. But he know who they were. He wasn't gonna let them get away.
(Mr. Thicknose) Look at those rock formatons. I've never seen anything like them.
Apon hearing this, the gang stopped and looked at Mr. Thicknose.
(Lincoln) You haven't?
(Cera) Is this your first trip out into The Mysterious Beyond?
(Mr. Thicknose) Well
Before he could finish, everyone heard screaming. They gang and Mr. Thicknose then saw Ducky and Tickles coming their way.
(Lola) Guys.
Before the 2 can say something, the Mountain Sharp-tooth that was chasing Ducky and Tickles had come.
(Mountain Sharp-tooth) I knew that was the swimmer with those hatchlings who defeated Sharptooth. This is my only chance.
Lincoln didn't have time to use the Time Stone to get everyone to understand what the Sharp-tooth was saying. He had to run before he got bitten.
The gang ran up the mountain. As they did so, Cera saw snowballs rolling down the hill. That gave her an idea.
Mr. Thicknose was face to face with the Sharp-tooth. Even with the strangh from his nose, he knew he won't have any efect on the Sharp-tooth.
Before anyone could attack, a snowball came and shot the Sharp-tooth on his nose. He then looked at the top of the hill and saw the gang making a big snowball.
(Littlefoot) Hey ugly. Wanna play?
(Lincoln) It's on you Winston.
Winston then pushed the snowball the down the hill and it rolled all they to the Sharp-tooth.
(Lincoln) Mr. Thicknose. Get out of the way.
Mr. Thicknose didn't know what Lincoln was talking about. But then he saw the snowball and knew what it ment. He then moved out of the way and the snowball slamed onto the Sharp-tooth and made him hit his back on a rock and KO him.
(Lincoln) There. We better go. He won't stay down forever.
Ducky and Tickles were happy to see the rest of the gang all the way out here.
(Ducky) Oh I am happy to see you guys.
(Tickles) Me too. We're happy to see all of you.
But, Ducky and Tickles were looking at Cera and Lola with mad looks on their faces.
(Ducky) Except you 2. This is all your fault.
(Tickles) You 2 told us to get mad at Spike and now look what happened.
(Cera) What? But we didn't tell you to get mad.
(Lola) We only told you to exprese your feelings.
Ducky and Tickles then calmed down.
(Ducky) And our feelings were mad. We do not like being mad.
(Tickles) And we don't want to get mad at you guys too. And now we're all lost out here. But at least we have Mr. Thicknose to help us find our way back.
(Mr. Thicknose) Yes. Well. I uhh. (Sigh) I think the time has come for me to confess. My times outside The Great Valley is far less then what I had you believe.
(Lola) What? How many times have you been out here?
(Mr. Thicknose) Counting this trip? Ones.
The gang were now shocked. All this time, Mr. Thicknose hadn't left the valley. Espeshily sense it's almost a whole year sense they first found the place.
(Lincoln) How can things get any worse?
