Land before time (crossover edition)
Chapter 10: Jack's story and a new friend
We now come back to Katie, Tikal, and Spyro who are walking past a big tree with huge roots while Tikal was humming a tune. Just then, with her super wolf hearing, Katie heard something and knew they were in danger.
Katie: Shh! (whispers) Quiet!
Tikal stopped humming and stopped dead in her tracks and so did Spyro.
Katie: (whispers) Stay low!
Katie, Spyro, and Tikal his behind the sticking up roots of the tree that looked almost like a wall so they could hide. Just then, a Metochromon (Digimon) walked out growling and didn't notice the children who were hiding behind the tree. Once the coast was clear, they all came out of hiding and continued their journey. Spyro then began to feel tired so he climbed up on top of Katie's head. (In this movie, young dragons are only 6 inches tall) Katie did not like this at all.
Katie: Ow! Hey! Spyro, get off!
Spyro: You know, you got a nice, flat head Flathead. (chuckles)
Katie did not like the new nickname Spyro had given her.
Katie: My name is not Flathead. My name, is KATIE.
Spyro: Katie?
Spyro then found the cherri-berry inside the rose in Katie's hair and began to mess around with it.
Katie: Are you just gonna stay up there?
Spyro: (puts the berry on his claw) Yes.
Katie then tried to shake him off of her head but Spyro didn't budge.
Katie: Well you can't. You ruining my cherri-berry.
Spyro then gasped in shock as he immeadiatly took the berry off of his claw carefully.
Tikal: It is very special. Very, her pack's leader gave it to her.
Katie and Spyro then looked at Tikal shocked because how did she know about that.
Tikal: He did.
Spyro then understood and wanted to help so, he had an idea.
Spyro: Ooh. A present from your leader. That's real important.
That's when Spyro got off of Katie for a second to grab a twig and he climbed back on Katie's head.
Spyro: I'll keep it safe and let nobdy touch it.
Spyro then began marched around Katie's head and carried the gun like a soldier does with a rifle.
Tikal: Yes, Spyro you should keep it safe. Yes you should.
Katie wanted to butt in because that berry meant the world to her and she didn't want anyone to ruin it.
Katie: No you shouldn't.
Katie then sat down, grabbed the berry away from Spyro, and put it back inside the rose in her hair.
Katie: I'm not a carrier. Get off! Your a dragon, so start flying!
Katie then ran off at full speed with Spyro still on her head and Tikal was right behind them and flapping her arms in encouragment. Spyro did not like this so he yelped in horror.
Tikal: Open your wings Spyro! Open! Open!
Spyro: No, no!
Katie thought Spyro was being difficult so she wanted to get in on the encouragement.
Tikal: You can do it!
Katie: You CAN fly! Now open your skinny wings!
Tikal began to jump up because she was not giving up on Spyro.
Tikal: Up Spyro! Higher! Higher like a flier!
Spyro then saw something up ahead of them and he had to war Katie and Tikal.
Spyro: DANGERRR!
Tikal: Where Spyro?
Spyro: Th-th-th-th-th-th-there! Ahead!
The three then ran right into some kind of animal skeleton and and they all yelled and panted in horror. That's when Jack came still screaming and running away from Mephiles. It wasn't long before they all bumped into each other and the skeleton on Katie fell apart. Katie saw Jack on the ground still with a look of shock and terror on his face. Jack was just laying there and panting like crazy.
Katie: Jack. It's you.
Katie, Tikal, and Spyro went up to Jack who was still panting and had a look of fright and terror on his pale face. Tikal put a hand on Jack's forehead and Spyro climbed on top of Jack's tomach while Katie looked at him confused.
Katie: What happened? Why do you look so frightened?
Jack then immeadiatly stood up making Tikal's hand come off of his forehead and Spyro fall off of his stomach.
Jack: Frightened? Me? (laughs)
Jack then looked at Katie and the others to see them looking frightened too.
Jack: Why are you so frightened?
Katie: We're not frightened. (whispers to Tikal) Are we?
Tikal: No we are not.
Jack then had an idea of how to warn them of Mephiles and have a little fun with them at the same time.
Jack: Well you should be. I could be with my friends right now, but I decided to come back to warn you. I met... Mephiles!
The mention of Mephiles made tikal get scared and horrified Spyro.
Spyro: (shakes in fear) MEPHILES!
Spyro then ran over to Katie and hugged her ankle real tight. Katie got annoyed because she thought Jack was making it up.
Katie: Come on Jack, Mpehiles is dead. He fell down into the big canyon.
Jack: And that's... where he met me.
Tikal and Spyro were amazed at what Jack was telling them and Spyro's grip on Katie's ankle loosened a little.
Tikal: Oh. Dear, brave Jack.
Spyro: Dear, brave Jack.
Katie got even more annoyed while Spyro had a smug look on his face.
Jack: Yea, I am brave.
Katie: Mephiles is DEAD!
Jack: My friends say that wolves had very small brains.
Katie was super mad at the goth boy for thinking that she had no intelligence whatso ever. It was then Jack stood on a piece of wood that Tikal was standing on the other side of.
Jack: I was all alone with him in he dark...
Spyro: (whimpers in fear)
Jack: ...just Mephiles and me. I could hear him breathing. (breathes heavily right near Tikal) ...I could see his one big, ugly eye looking for me.
Tikal: (gasps in amazment)
Jack: (sofly growls)
Tikal: How did you get out alive?
Jack: I walked right up to him, I looked him straight in the eye, and said... (roars loudly)
But, when Jack roared, he jumped on the wood that he and Tikal were standing on. The wood was almost like a seesaw so it launched Tikal straight into the air. Tikal would've bee hurt if she didn't bounce on some vines first before falling to the ground with a thud. The pain did not matter to Tikal because she heard some soft snoring coming from a bush nearby. So, Tikal walked over to investigate and completly ignored Katie who was calling for her.
Katie: (in distance) TIKAAAAAL!
Tikal then noticed a crashed circus car that must've ended up there during the big eartquake. Tikal then poked her head into the bush and saw nothing except a big, gray rock.
Tikal: Hellooooo?
Tikal looked all around the rock.
Tikal: Hello?
The rock turned out to be a baby elephant that peeked an eye out from under his ear and looked at Tikal. Tikal looked in that direction and the elephants ear shot back down. Tikal then notices what is going on and tries to get the baby elephant to wake up.
Tikal: You should come out now. You are running late.
The baby elephant just ignored Tikal and pretended to still be asleep. Tikal then climbed on top of the little elephant and lifted one of his ears.
Tikal: Come out!
The elephant then got both his eyes out of the way and looked at Tikal with curiousity.
Tikal: I see you are all alone. Aren't you scared?
The elephant then closed his eyes and pretended to go back to sleep. Tikal then helped the elephant stand up and also got his big ears out of his blue eyes.
Tikal: We are going to the Great valley. You can come with us if you like.
Tikal then looked at the crashed train car and saw the name, "Dumbo" painted on it.
Tikal: It says that your name is Dumbo, so that is what we will call you.
Tikal then laughed and motioned Dumbo to follow her. The elephant obeyed and followed her after eating a couple of bush leaves.
Katie: TIKAL!
