This is the longest chapter so far and i hope you enjoy it. I do not own The Land Before Time.

In the mysterious beyond Raptid, Veloc and Baron where talking with Sierra and Pterano who had returned from there scouting mission. Rinkus was still asleep and the children were all in a circle talking to each other.

"So Fang, you never told us of this fine female" Nat said to Fang.

"You never talked about me?" Egypt asked with almost hurt tone of voice.

"No, I was afraid they'd get jealous that I was gifted with something as wonderful as you" Fang said, the sarcasm just evident in his voice.

"Oh Fang you should be happy to have found your future mate" Chomper said.

"Well I wouldn't say future mate, it's more like a caring romance than a loving one" Fang replied.

"Who knew the son of the devil had a soft side" Ichetta teased.

"Of course my Fangy pooh has a soft side" Egypt said as she snuggled up against Fang. Fang looked as though he was going to glare at her but at the last second he seemed to have changed his mind and just looked the opposite direction with a defeated look on his face. No matter what he said she'd call him that anyway. The sound of stifled laughter caught Fang's ears; he then looked at the rest of the children with a cold glare. This quickly shut up Ducky, Petrie, and Littlefoot, Spike and Dillan but the rest kept trying to hold in their laughter.

"What are you guys laughing at" Fang said in a warning tone.

"Where'd you soft side go Fangy pooh" Cera teased.

"Fang and Egypt sitting in a tree" Nat sang.

"K-i-s-s-i-n-g" Chomper sang.

"First comes love, then comes mating, then comes and egg with the parents waiting" Ichetta sang and all the taunting dinosaurs then broke into laughter.

Fang got up and started to growl. Egypt looked at Fang and then at the laughing dinosaurs, a smile grew on her face for she knew what was going to happen next and most likely it would be funny. The others were laughing so much they didn't realize that Fang had closed the gap between them and was standing right next to them.

"Um guys, I think you should run" Dillan said softly.

"W-Why" Nat asked still laughing. He then turned to something else to Fang but then realized that they bladeback was right in front of him. Noticing Nat's silence they other taunting children turned to see Fang, all of them suddenly stopped their laughing and Nat made a loud gulp.

Baron was finishing is conversation with Pterano when Nat and Chomper suddenly ran and hid behind him.

"What's wrong young ones?" He asked.

"He wants us dead" Nat replied. Before Baron could ask who they were talking about Fang came running towards him and screeched to a halt.

"Come out here and fight you cowards!" Fang shouted.

"I'm right here!" Cera called from behind him. Fang quickly turned around and growled at the threehorn who snorted in response.

Fang charged at Cera who stood her ground in the classic threehorn position up until the last second, and then she thrust her head forward only to have her horn caught in the bladeback's jaws. The two appeared to be in a contest of strength, Cera throwing her head from side to side trying to get her horn free and Fang going along with every movement determined to tire out the threehorn.

"Shouldn't you stop them before one of them gets killed" Nat said a bit sarcastically. Baron heaved a loud sigh before walking over to the two struggling dinosaurs, he then used his large hand claw to tap Fang in the middle of his head. The bladeback immediately let go of Cera and stood there with a blank expression on his face.

"What did you do to him?" Nat asked Baron.

"Oh I just calmed him down" Baron replied.

"Cool, what would happen if I did it"

"He'd probably bite your arm off" Baron said, after which Nat just stood there with his eyes wide. Just then Fang came up between Nat and Chomper and put both sharpteeth and what seemed to be a headlock but there wasn't much force in it.

"I love you guys" Fang said sincerely with a warm smile on his face. Nat looked at him nervously; this surely wasn't the Fang that he knew.

"Um, Fang are you alright?" Chomper asked.

"Why of course I'm ok. I'm always ok when I'm with my friends" Fang replied and then nuzzled Nat and licked Chomper.

"That's…nice" Nat said, it was obvious that he was more nervous than before thinking any second now Fang would revert to his normal self and he would be too close to avoid. He and Chomper then tried to free themselves from Fangs grip but soon realized that his arms wouldn't budge.

"Um Fang could you please let go" Chomper asked.

"Why would I want to do that, if I did then our friendly love wouldn't be able to flow through each other" Fang said tightening his grip.

"I think I liked evil Fang better than this guy" Nat said.

"Don't worry it's only to calm him down for a little while" Baron said examining his claws. "He'll be back in three, two, one" Just as Baron said one the friendly look on Fang's face suddenly melted into the usual frown of a sharptooth.

"Why are you two so close to me" Fang said as he let go of Nat and Chomper causing them to fall onto the ground.

"Well the good news is Fang's back, the bad news is Fang's back" Nat said as he got up.

"What's taking so long bro, can't we just go already" Fang complained to Baron.

"Well Pterano did say they found a way across but it's quite far down, and we have to pass through a large forest to get there" Baron said.

"I don't care where we have to go I just wanna go" Fang said.

"Oh dear, all these seasons and you still haven't changed Fang" Baron said rubbing Fang's head. "Alright everyone, where heading out" Baron said and then started to walk in the direction that the passing was located.

"I'll wake up Rinkus" Sierra said to Pterano who simply nodded in response and watch to see how Sierra would do it. Everyone else was following Baron but being flyers they would be able to catch up.

Sierra walked over to the sleeping flyer and nudged his side, Rinkus didn't react. A sinister grin formed on Sierra's face, he then held Rinkus' feet and began to drag him towards the water. Sierra put Rinkus just at the water's edge and then put the flyer's tail into the water. After a few seconds Rinkus' eyes shot open and he quickly flew up into the air with a yelp of pain, when he came down and landed he looked back and saw a fish with its jaws locked on his tail. Rinkus narrowed his eyes at the fish and then attempted to snap at the fish with his beak but at the last second the fish let go letting Rinkus bite his own tail. The pink flyer let out another pain induced scream but softer this time, he then picked up the fish in his hands but then it slipped, he tried several times to get a hold of it but in the end it just slapped him several times in the face with its tail and fell back into the water.

All the while this was happening Sierra was rolling on the ground with laughter.

"C'mon Rinkus we gotta keep up" Sierra just managed to say between laughs. Rinkus narrowed his eyes at the flyer knowing that he was the culprit but then just took off after Pterano himself started to fly in the direction of the others. When Sierra was done laughing he himself took off.

After a few minutes of walking the group got to the forest that was mentioned.

"Well that wasn't very far" Fang said.

"It's not the forest that's far, it's the crossing" Pterano said.

"Hey guys a smell something, it smells like…" Nat said and then took a few deeper sniffs. "Longneck" he said with his mouth already watering. Littlefoot began to look slightly worried. "No not you, a whole herd of them, and two children"

"Well I sure am hungry, let's go get em" Dillan said. Fang turned to his brother with a facial expression that showed that he was asking a question without actually talking.

"Go on, we'll wait" Baron said.

"Yes, come on guys let's go" Fang said in sharptooth tongue, all the other sharpteeth children ran into the forest but Nat stopped when he saw Chomper wasn't moving.

"Come on, it'll be good for you" Nat said in sharptooth tongue.

"Well, alright but I'm not hunting, just watching" Chomper said in flattooth.

"Well then let's go, and speak like a sharptooth" Nat said as he entered the forest with Chomper in tow. They met up with the other who were staring at something, they were all looking at herd of longnecks that where eating in a large clearing but specifically at the two children that were at the herd's edge. One was a dark pink color with blue eyes and the other was light brown with green eyes.

"Looks like they're straying from the herd, well divide and surround them" Fang said. Dillan and Ichetta went as one team, Nat and Egypt as another and Fang stayed with Chomper.

"Those two looks and smell kinda familiar" Chomper said to himself.

"Ok Chomper, we're the main attack. We just have to get them further away from the herd" Fang said in sharptooth.

"But I don't wanna hunt, I just came to look" Chomper said in sharptooth.

"What do you mean you don't want to hunt, you're a sharptooth, you have to"

"I'm happy just eating crawlers and buzzers"

"Look, you in the mysterious beyond or great beyond as us sharpteeth call it, and out here you have to think, feel and breath only one food group. Meat"

(Music from LBT 2 "Eggs")

Fang: When I wake up first thing I do, meat

Its true look around for something to chew, meat my drift

Feeding myself is very, very tricky

Because you see I'm ridiculously picky

Meat

Chomper (spoken): Uh, Fang I…

Fang: This little sharptooth won't settle for defeat

I'll borrow, I'll beg, I'll even kiss you

Chomper (spoken): Kiss me?!

Fang: For my dear beloved dose,

Of meat

Chomper: Hey Fang, I'm so hungry I can't wait another minute

Here's I juicy little crawler, its green with some pink in it

Can't I have a taste?

If I promise just to lick it?

Fang (Spoken): Chomper!

Chomper (Spoken): What?!

Fang: You idiotic eater

The great green glob couldn't possibly be sweeter

Than a dead flattooth,

You've got to smell them, hunt them, bite them open

For a great big threehorn I am hoping

Chomper: Oh look I'm starving, I'm weak

There is nothing in my tummy

All the bugs and that tree,

Are starting to look yummy

Fang: The colors and types and different sizes

Gobble hatchlings for appetizers

Ecstasy

Chomper: Fang what's the matter with flattooth affiliation

Fang: I've had it up to here with this aggravation

Chomper: Well can't I just have two hoppers or three

Fang: Why can't you be more like me?!

You leech-loving

Chomper (Spoken): Hey

Fang: Bug-burping

Stinger-smelling

Chomper (Spoken): Wait a minute

Fang: Hopper-hogging

Beetle-biting

Crawler-crunching

Dirt devouring beast!

Chomper (Spoken): Fang!

Fang: You've got to have meat, thrice a day at least

(End music)

"Look I don't care I'm still not hunting. And I don't eat dirt" Chomper said.

"Fine, and I've seen you try to catch ground crawlers, you eat dirt like its going out of style" Fang said and then moved away to execute his plan.

As the two longnecks where grazing Fang suddenly jumped out of the bush placing himself between the children and the herd, the two longneck screamed and instinctively ran the other way only to be blocked by Nat, and then Egypt came around and blocked any escape out into the opening and Dillan and Ichetta came a blocked an escape into the forest. Just when the sharpteeth thought they had their meals the light brown longneck used his tail to hit a nearby rock right at Dillan and it caught him right in the eye. Dillan hissed in pain and the longnecks used this distraction to get away but they weren't getting away that easy. Fang ran up to them and jumped on the brown one's back but was quickly shaken off and fell to the ground.

As Fang was getting up the others came up to him determined to get the longnecks before the herd could get them but they had underestimated the herd reaction time for just as they were ready to attack several shadows loomed over them. They all looked up to see that the herd of longneck at completely encircled them; the longneck that had its head held highest looked very elderly.

"I better get help" Chomper said to himself and went to get Fang's brother.

"We are so dead" Fang said in sharptooth. Just then one of the longnecks reared up and brought its feet crashing down towards the sharpteeth who all narrowly escaped and tried to make a run for safety through the herd but while trying to make it out they had to dodge many attempts to flatten them. Just when they thought they were safe a swinging tail knocked all of them over in one sweep. The sharpteeth kids looked at the longnecks closing in and accepted their fate but then Veloc, Raptid and Baron stormed out of the forest and out themselves between the longnecks and the children.

Instinctively the longnecks backed away from them, they knew how lethal fastbitters could be in a team.

"Go now" Veloc said in sharptooth to the children who quickly got up and ran into the forest. The three sharpteeth then slowly backed away into the vegetation.

"That's odd those little sharpteeth obviously weren't their children yet they protected them, what do you think Old One" one of the longnecks said.

"Well I've seen them talk, so I guess I'm open to surprises from sharpteeth now" the old longneck said.

Back with the children all the sharpteeth kids came running out of the forest and stopped with fear evident in their faces, Nat was even shaking a bit.

"What happened to you guys?" Littlefoot asked.

"Those longnecks almost killed us" Fang said, "I mean it's not the first time that's happened but I can never got over it"

"Yeh I mean they could just chase us off, but no they have to step on us" Dillan said with a bit of degust.

(Music from LBT 11 "Stupid Stompers")

Fang: Stupid stompers

Clumsy clompers

How could we hurt them with our little chompers

Nat: It's the same thing everywhere

How can it be us they fear

Dillan: The try to squish and squash us flat

Fang: It's just not fair

All: Those, stupid stompers!

Egypt: They all cause earthshakes when they fall

Dillan: They don't know anything at all

Fang: The only thing they do is eat,

Nat: And eat,

Egypt: And eat,

Ichetta: And eat!

Fang: And smash little sharpteeth with their big fat feet, those

Egypt: Big and clumsy

Fang: Slow and dumbsy

Ichetta: Ugly

Dillan: Deadly

Nat: Not so friendly

All: Stupid stompers, yah!

(End music)

The sharpteeth looked at the flatteeth only to be met by angry glares.

"Well not you guys, your different" Nat said.

"Especially not you Hyp, your kind doesn't grow big enough to step on us" Fang said.

"Well I bet I could squish your head right now" Hyp said as he stepped closer to Fang with his hand in a fist.

"Why don't you just try" Fang growled as he crouched down.

"That's a lot of talk from a little guy"

"I won't be little for long"

"If I have anything to say about it you'll stay that way for ever" by now the two dinosaurs where inches from each other. Before things got out of hand Baron once again taped Fang in the middle of his head and just like before the bladeback's face went blank. Nat and Chomper slowly backed away remembering what happened last time.

Veloc and Raptid where just looking at the scene in front of them when they heard someone calling their names from the forest. They walked into the foliage and where meet by two rainbow-faces, one with the usual green with orange eyes and the other a lighter green with pink eyes; this one seemed to be female.

"Darol and Margret, how nice to see you two" Veloc said giving both rainbow-faces a hand shake.

"What brings you here" Raptid asked.

"Well first of all we wanted to check up on how your research is going" Darol said.

"Oh just fine, we've already established to main personality, IQ and emotional levels of the new children" Veloc said.

"Good but more importantly Cheirus wants you to get to that stone a-s-a-p" Margret said.

"Well we're trying but with our magic reserves so low we can only get there just like any other dinosaurs" Raptid said.

"We are aware of that, which is why Cheirus took Roger off of his distraction mission to help you get there faster, he always seems to know a short-cut" said Margret.

"Well he is a daily adventurer, and when you've unlocked the secrets of immortality and have lived as long as he has you tend to get around a lot" Veloc said.

"Yes well he should be here any second now" Darol said and almost immediately after there was a crashing sound at the edge of the forest. "Well, he's got good timing. We'll leave you to your mission now" Darol and Margret then disappeared into the trees.

Veloc and Raptid came out of the forest to see all the children and the three flyers staring at a bush. Out of the bush Roger walked out brushing away leaves and twigs.

"I really have to work on my landings" he muttered to himself.

"Who might you be?" Pterano asked.

"I got a few names but you can just call me Roger, or Rog if you're too lazy to say the whole thing" Roger said.

"Roger, what a pleasant surprise, what are you doing here" Raptid said.

"Oh I was just dropping in, although I didn't want it to be this literal. But anyway I was about to ask you the same thing"

"Well we're trying to get to Claw Valley in order to retrieve the stone of cold fire" Veloc said.

"Claw Valley ah, and I suppose you were going to go through that forest and cross the river on the path further down"

"Well, yes"

"I wouldn't advise that, if you go there you're going into Redtooth's territory"

"What's it with you guys and this Redtooth" Cera said in an annoyed tone.

"Redtooth's the one that gave me this" Roger said pointing at the leaf that covered his eye. "I remember it like it was yesterday. There I was, my wings torn, my muscles aching, on the edge of oblivion steering into the eyes of the great blue beast"

(Flashback)

Roger stood there with a facial expression a pure terror and he looked straight into the thick fog in front of him. Suddenly the glowing red eye of a huge dinosaur appeared in front of him, its slit like pupil narrowed as it looked down at Roger. The creature let out a loud roar before raising its claws and bringing it down towards the flyer. Roger was sent flying on impact, when he landed he felt an extreme pain in his right eye and put a hand over it only to realize that his eye was missing and as if to justify the fact he looked to his right and saw was seemed to be his eye sitting there staring straight at him. He heard a loud roar and looked to his left to see the bottom half of what was obviously a large sharptooth with large muscular arms and legs but the rest of the creature was hidden in the low clouds.

Roger immediately got up and started to run as fast as he could to get away but he never took his hand of his injured eye. He found a large tree and began to climb it with his one free hand. When he got to the top of the tree which had only one leaf on it he was above and clouds and could see other tree being pushed over as the sharptooth got closer. He took the tree's one leaf and tied it around the socket where his eye would have been and then broke of a piece of wood to use as a weapon. As he stood and waited he saw the outline of a bladeback's sail appear and disappear out of the clouds. He turned toward the direction that it appeared and stayed there but little did he know that Redtooth was right behind him. By the time Roger turned around all he saw was two glowing eyes; one red and one yellow and before he could do anything else Redtooth opened his jaws and closed them shut on the flyer.

(End flashback)

Roger stood there with his hand claws interlocking resembling the teeth of a sharptooth. All the children stood there with shocked faces.

"What happened next" Ducky asked.

"Sadly I died, but I lived. Just before Redtooth could swallow me I held on to that gross this in the back of his throat, I held on to that sucker and I swung back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back…" everyone gasped and widened their eyes. "…And forth and then a let go and flew right out of his mouth. I may have lost an eye that day but I got this" Roger said pointing at the tooth around his neck.

"You know the old saying, an eye for a tooth, a claw for a horn, and a tail for a…well I rather not say it around children" Roger said.

"That's a very interesting story but if we can't go the way we planned how are we going to get to the valley?" Raptid asked.

"It's quite simple my uptight friend, I know a shortcut. Through the chasm of death that'll get us there in no time. But I'll need to consult with my time agents to say when where gonna go" Roger said and then began to search through the bush he had originally crashed into.

"Am I really uptight" Raptid asked Veloc.

"You have no idea" the larger fastbitter answered earning him a glare from the smaller one. Just then Roger came out with what looked like two small flyer skulls on each of his hands.

"So what do you guys think" Roger said appearing to be talking to the skulls.

"It's too hot to travel by day, I say you should go at night" the skull on his right hand appeared to say but a well trained eye could tell it was Roger speaking without fully opening his beak.

"At night, are you mad that's when all the other sharpteeth are around and those leaf eaters can't see at night" the other skull said.

"Yes but Redtooth doesn't hunt at night, either way they won't make it with this lunatic guiding them" the right skull said.

"What" Roger said at what the skull said.

"You mean Rog, oh yah he's crazy" the left skull said.

"I am not!" Roger shouted.

"And his feet smell" a fastbitter skull attached to his foot which no one had noticed said.

"Shu' up" Roger said with his accent.

"You shu' up" the skull retorted.

"That's it you little…" Roger said and then lunged at the skull, slapping it with the back of his hand and then wrestling with it, the skull even bit him once.

"I know Roger's a bit cracked in the head but this is ridiculous" Raptid said. "So are we going now" Raptid said raising his voice a little to get the flyers attention. Roger stopped his wrestling with the skull to look at Raptid.

"And give Redtooth a mid-day snack, not likely" the skull said.

"The skull's right, rest up for now so you won't be tired tonight. Now who's hungry?" Roger said.

"I am!" the skull shouted.

"You don't need the energy!" Roger shouted at the skull causing it to shake.

I hope you liked it, its one if my favorites so far. Comment please.
