Chapter 13: The Powers

After Councilor was dead, Q dismissed the other dinosaurs, except for the 2 Fast Runners. "Chester, Joanna. I presume you already know why I am calling you. Ruby! Come over here." Ruby was still looking, in shock, at all of the dead dinosaurs everywhere. When she came over to Q, she squealed with delight and said, "Mom! Dad! I can't tell you how much I have missed you. But, why would you help kill dinosaurs? Neither of you are Sharpteeth, nor do you have the personality of them. So why did you help Q?" she asked.

The Fast Runners looked at each other, then they looked at Q. He nodded at them, meaning they were allowed to tell her, "We helped Q because he... umm... he kept coming back to us and he told us what was happening in the Great Valley." Chester said. The others looked at both of them in confusion. Ruby asked them, "What do you mean he told you what was happening in the valley?" Joanna replied, "He told us how you were in the Great Valley, and we were always glad to hear him tell us that you were stil alive."

At that moment, in Ruby's mind, it clicked. Q went into the Mysterious Beyond to tell Ruby's parents how she was. "Q... How long were you telling my parents how I was doing?" Ruby questioned. Q answered, "Ever since I met them in the Mysterious Beyond while watching Littlefoot and all of you." Everybody else's jaw dropped. Q was waiting for one of them to keep asking him questions, when they all began to hear footsteps approaching. "OOOHHH! What that?!" Petrie asked in fear. They began to run. Then, Q turned around and called them back.

"Come on, guys! Can't you handle a-" Q stopped talking when he spotted a dark colored Longneck with red eyes, "Longpata... RUN!" he yelled. Even Q knew that he didn't dare try to stop Longpata. They were running from him and they seemed to be getting away. They seemed to be in the clear, until Longpata seemed to jump out from nowhere right in front of them. "HAHA! We meet again Littlefoot. And it seems that your little Sharptooth friend isn't here to protect you this time." Longpata didn't see Q because Q smelled Longpata at the last moment and he hid behind a tree. When Q heard what Longpata said, his eyes began to glow, and he thought, "Little?! I'll show you who's little!"

He knew that he might die trying to fight Longpata, but he knew that he couldn't just leave his friends with him, either. So, he teleported behind Longpata and said, "Hey Longpata! Down here! Come and get me!" Longpata twisted around to try and spot Q. He was standing on Longpata's tail. Longpata instantly howled in pain, not just because Q was digging his claws into Longpata's tail, it's was the fact that Q was extremely heavy (If you want to know exactly how heavy Q is, he is about 537 pounds. [No, he is not fat!]).

Longpata opened his jaws to try and eat Q. Q just said, "Don't eat me. Eat this!" Q disappeared. Then, Longpata had bitten his own tail, "YYYEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWW!" He screamed. Q was now on a high branch in a tall tree. He said to Longpata, "I'm up here! Try and get me, you klutz!" Longpata saw where Q was and he began to charge at the tree, trying to knock it down. But Longpata had no luck.

Q was now standing near the edge of a cliff, "I'm over here! Come get me, you slow poke!" When Longpata saw where Q was standing, he thought that Q just signed his death certificate, "Bad place to be!" He began his charge toward Q. He simply moved out of the way of the sprinting Longneck, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Longpata yelled as he fell off of the cliff. The cliff just so happened to have a 6,000 foot drop. (Thud!) Longpata had hit the bottom of the cliff.

The other 7 were just gawking at Q and his teleportation ablility. "Q... how you do that?! Me never see anybody move like that!" Petrie said in amazement. Q then realized that he accidentily revealed one of his abilites. He had been told many times by his mother that if anybody discovered his powers, or saw him use them, he had to reveal ALL of his powers to the witnesses. "That was one of my abilities, Petrie. That however, is not my only ability. I have quite a few more. I have tried to keep them secret from anyone outside of my family. But, now that you know, I have no choice but to show you all of them."

First, Q had to show his shape-shifting ability, "Whoa!" was all everybody said (except for José). Then, Q showed them the rest of his powers (As of now, I haven't had any ideas on what Q's other powers should be. So, I'll only name his teleportation and shape-shifting abilities.) "So, Q... How long have you been able to do...you know, all of this?" Littlefoot asked. "To my knowledge, I've been able to do that since I was first taught to fly." Q replied.

As the others were trying to figure out something else to say, they all felt something shaking. "Oh... I think that I'm getting hungry. WHOA! No. I do not think I'm THAT hungry." Spike said. Then, everything began to shake violently. "EARTHSHAKE!" Cera yelled. Everyone was panicking and they all began to run in different directions. Q saw this from the air and he said to himself, "Oh no! I've got to help them." He made himself large enough to carry all of them, "Guys! Hop on and hold tight!" He said. They all climbed on his back and held on to some of Q's spikes. Q flew high enough so nothing could hit him or the others.

After the earthshake had finished, Q landed and they all hopped off his back, "Whew! Thanks Q." "Oh yes, yes, yes. Thank you Q." They all thanked him. "Well... I wouldn't just let you get hurt, now would I?" he said. They saw the Bright Circle was beginning to go down, "Oh man! We'll never get home before dark!" Cera said. "Yes we will, all of us." Q said. He meant that Ruby's parents were coming with them to the Great Valley. Cera responded, "And how do you propose we do that?" Q said, "Everybody hold on to one another, you too Chester and Joanna." They all obeyed and held on to one another.

Q imagined being in the Great Valley, right at the watering hole. He told the others that they had to close their eyes. After they did, he closed his eyes, and POOF! They were all back at the watering hole. "Wow. Cool!" Chomper said. Ruby said to everybody, "I think we should let our parents know that were here. Of course, we were always here, since here is wherever we are." They all nodded their heads in agreement and said their goodbyes before they went to their sleeping places.

In the middle of the night:

Q awoke to a faint voice that he heard nearby the Secret Caverns. He got up to see who would be out at this time of night. When he saw who it was, he realized that it was just Hyp, who sounded depressed. Q went over to Hyp and whispered," Hello, Hyp." "GAAAAHHHH!" Hyp ran for a short time, until he tripped over a tree root. "Who is it? I'm... not... scared... of you!" Hyp said, trying to act brave. Q revealed himself, "NO! Not you! Please don't hurt me!" Hyp said. Q just rolled his eyes and calmly said to Hyp, "Don't worry. I won't hurt you again."

Hyp just said, "OK. (Sighs)" Q wondered what was wrong with Hyp, "What's the matter? Is something bothering you?" Q asked. Hyp's eyes started to water, but he didn't cry. "Everything's wrong! Everything is bothering me!" Q understood that Hyp didn't like the way his life was, "I wish I could be someone different." Hyp said. Q then realized that he could help Hyp get his wish. "I can help you with that, Hyp. But you must be careful, there could be many dangers with what I am going to do."

Hyp looked dumbfounded, "What? What can you do? Nobody can really change who they are." Q responded, "I can change your life. Do you even want to see if I could be telling you the truth?" Hyp realized that maybe Q could change who he is. Hyp asked him, "Alright. But, how do you plan to do it?" Q just said, "Like this. You will feel very sleepy, and by morning, you'll be a new dinosaur. Who do you want to be? Choose carefully."

Hyp took some time to think about who he wanted to be. Then he got it, "I want to be a Fast Runner." he said. Q said, "Very well, then." Q put his claw on Hyp's shoulder, thought of a Fast Runner, thought about Hyp and VoilĂ ! Hyp passed out, but he was now a Fast Runner. Q decided that he couldn't just leave Hyp laying near the watering hole, so, he carried the new Hyp and brought him back to his sleeping place.

The morning after that:

The gang was just eating breakfast when Hyp came running up to Q. Hyp said with joy, "Whoa, dude! Thanks! Thank you for giving me a new body. I owe you one." Hyp then sprinted away with his new speed. When everybody heard that, their eyes immediately locked on Q. "Did Hyp just say that you gave him a new body?" Chomper asked. Q had to tell them the truth, "Yes. I did. But, I only did it because he didn't like who he was." The others looked at each other in suprise and shock. They would all be in more shock once they see a certain Flyer with 2 others, heading towards the group.

"Why hello there, Petrie. It's very nice to see you again." said the leader of the Flyer group, "Pterano... I had hoped I wouldn't hear of you, not to mention see you again." Q growled. This Flyer was, in fact, Pterano.

There you have it, Q has special powers, and he also has high responsibility which comes with them. And Pterano, Rinkus and Sierra are making a return after Pterano's 5 year banishment. Please remember to Read & Review the story and just for the heck of it, share it with someone else.

In the next chapter: Pterano has come back mainly for Q. He has heard many rumors from Rinkus and Sierra about Q and supposed facts that are all about Q's life. He has come to use Q for a reason. What reason? Keep reading, and you shall soon find out!
