A/N: Again, sorry for not uploading yesterday, I was quite busy and didn't have the time to do much. Hopefully this will make up for it.

Chapter 21: Eclipse and the Apocalypse (Part 1)

Heading back up Clawtooth Mountain would be too much of a task for Ethan and Fifi, as they would be too slow going up. Fortunately they were allowed to stay so they didn't have to go through that, but everyone else still had to go up. If they did find Henry it was agreed that some of the group would go back to let the others know and to get Spot and his family back. The hard part was going up the side of the mountain, an indication that where-ever Henry was, it wasn't going to be easy to get there. The amount of times each of them slipped up just to get to the top was uncountable, with some being almost too great to recover from. Looking back, the farm once again looked tiny, as did the many visitors.

"Why does everything look like it's getting darker?" Mike asked, Ben looked up to find the answer. "Look up, the sun is already half blocked, if we act now we might just get Henry back before whatever happens." They turned back to where they were going to go, before slowly climbing down. The path down was harder to find than actually trying to stay balanced, but somehow Spot and his family were already down the hill.

Jess noticed how they stopped "That's him down there, under all those rocks." She said with a serious tone. The good news didn't help for Arlie, distracting her from where she was supposed to walk, instead missing it entirely and falling down to where Spot was.

"Well then, meant to do that. So where is Henry?" Arlie asked, the rocks beneath her started to move, but then went back to their original place. "Arlie, you're standing on top of him." Ben said.

Moving further downward, Arlie soon found a hole in the rubble, but before she could even look what was through it, Henry's head popped out. "Oh, it's you Arlie. Aren't I glad to see you guys here." Henry said with enthusiasm as Ben and the others came down. "You guys take Spot and his family back to Arlo and tall them we found him. I'll stay here and try to help him." Arlie ordered.

"Arlie, these rocks are too heavy for even Henry to get out of. How do you think you can help him?" Ben asked "Well, then ask for help then." Arlie responded. Ben and the others realized they came down here just to go back up, and slowly went back up. Arlie observed the rocks Henry was under, before hitting one of them with her tail. When she did, the rock broke into a couple of pieces, rolling down. However, it was very near to breaking Arlie's tail bone, which would leave her unable to use the end until it healed; a problem she did not want in this situation. Instead she decided to try to move the rocks, starting with the small ones and working her way up in size.

Eventually, this worked, as the small ones were heavy enough overall to keep Henry from getting out from the landslide. "Thanks Arlie, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you." Henry said sympathetically.

"Henry, I'm sorry for what I did last night, I was very stupid for doing that to someone like you, and you were right when you said it would of been better if I didn't mention it first. But I've already done enough to make you hate me so, I get it if you don't forgive me for that." Arlie apologized.

"Arlie, I forgive you. While you learnt from what happened then not to do things like that again, I learnt how much of a fool I was to keep everything to myself. I should of told you, or even more importantly my family about my past earlier on. None of this would of happened if it weren't for-"

"Look out!" Arlie interrupted, pushing Henry slightly to the side. However, it wasn't enough. The two got trapped by a second landslide, this one coming from no where. Fortunately, they could breathe properly this time. Looking up, the sun was now three-quarters blocked, and it was starting to get even darker. "Help!" Arlie and Henry called. On the other side of the mountain, Ben and the others heard the call.

"Oh no, something must of happened while Arlie tried to save Henry. We need to go back down there." Ben said, but then, a loud crack sounded from above. Looking up, the highest point of the mountain was snow-capped, but the extra snow that layed down on the surface made it too heavy to support itself, and thus gave way. A large, ferocious avalanche was heading for Ben and the others, and they knew they weren't fast enough to get to Arlie and Henry or fast enough to outrun it.

Meanwhile, Arlie and Henry also heard the loud rumble, but no avalanche came on their side of the mountain. "Great, there goes our only chance of getting out of this place, you got any ideas Henry?" Arlie asked, hoping that at least Henry would have a plan. "Lets see, we have rocks that none of us can break or push out of the way, we have a snow-capped mountain above us that's likely to have another avalanche, I got nothing Arlie, for now."

"What do you mean "for now"? You expect something to happen soon?" Arlie questioned.

"No, but it would be helpful if something did happen before whatever is making that rumbling sound comes here." Henry replied. "I don't hear any rumbling." Arlie argued "Because you're not quiet, which you should be." Arlie stopped talking, and could faintly hear a rumbling sound from somewhere in front of them, looking back on the sun, there was still some light, but it felt more like the evening than anything. It was then the ground started shaking; another, louder rumbling, coming from behind them. The snow-capped mountain released another avalanche, and this one was very much bigger than the last one, in fact, the entire section of snow went down. All the two could see was a wall of snow heading straight for them.

"Henry, duck!" Arlie went down so that some of the rocks could protect her from the avalanche, but she said it just as the avalanche was near. This was not enough time for Henry to react in time, and the wall of snow hit him hard,with the last thing he saw before going unconscious was white.

Waking up, Henry looked around to find that he was alone in a world of white, there were no walls, but there was a white floor that he could stand on. Walking around for a bit, this world had nothing to it, all he could see was white, and nothing else, he couldn't even see where the floor ended and a possible white sky began. However, it wasn't long before he saw something in the distance: five figures, none of them resembled Arlo, Libby, Buck or Ida, or any of his friends. But they were apatosaurs, like him. Getting closer, their shapes were more familiar to him, but it was when he was very close to them that they turned around, and he knew exactly who they were.

The first one was Henry's brother, named Luke, he was about the same height as Libby, but unlike Libby he had a more Buck-like face, and had brown eyes. The second one was his first sister, which Henry knew as Mallory, she was between the size of Arlo and Libby, and had a face similar to Ida, but was less rounded and had more defined features while having green eyes. Figure number three was his second sister, named Odina, she was slightly larger than Buck, had brown eyes, and had more apparent stripes on her back.

The final two figures were Henry's parents: Tabari being the father, and Zarla being his mother. Tabari was a head taller than Henry, and had a more older-looking face, but was nonetheless just as prominent, if not more. Zarla was only just smaller than Henry, had a very feminine body, and her eyes were of a light brown. Henry couldn't believe that they were here again, meaning that where-ever he was, it wasn't real.

"Henry, we're really disappointed in what you've done to us." Tabari strongly spoke, his voice very masculine, and a heavier accent than Henry's.

"Yes, I know. I'm sorry for what I did back then, you would be here with me and my family if it weren't for my actions." Henry apologized, but Zarla shook her head.

"He doesn't mean about you doing that. He's talking about the fact that throughout all your life, you never once mentioned, or spoke about us. You even denied any more questions the first time they wanted to know about your parents or siblings. We're disappointed because you've been trying to forget about us, as if we're really dead." Zarla said in a worried manner, her voice being slightly posh-sounding but not too heavily to be noticeable at first.

By this time, Henry was more confused than understanding, "But you are dead, right?" He argued. "Yes, and no. We're not alive anymore physically, but we're still alive in your mind. You, Henry, are the only one who has a live memory of who we are and what we are like. If you forget us then, we're no longer alive. Tell me, when you woke up and thought that Arlo and your family might think you died, what did you do? You wanted to go back if I recall, because you, Henry, didn't want them to do to you what you did to us. You feared that they might forget you just like you almost forget you." Tabari spoke, his voice slightly more serious and raised.

"I was, but I know now that my family would do their best to never forget me. Look at Arlo, he thought of me as something more than just a family member-"

"Yes, just like what you thought of us. And now look at you, thirty five years have passed and look at you, who nearly won at forgetting the one thing that cared to him before he lost it. If Arlo was to go away from the farm, again, what would he say to any friends he might meet. Would he say how brave you are? Would he try to say how you are still alive? Would he mention how he killed you, like you said to Arlie how you killed us? Or, like you, would he try to find every nook and cranny to get out of any situation or topic of the sort? Do you see now why we're disappointed in you?" Zarla said, Henry took the time to collect his thoughts while she spoke and realized what he did wrong.

Lowering his neck, and tilting his head down, Henry felt more shameful of himself than ever before. "I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry for what I did." "Henry, you don't have to act like this anymore." Luke said. "Yeah, it's going to be all right now." Mallory followed, "You don't have to forget about us, just think of all the happy things we did." Odina finished.

"But, there are no good memories, all I remember is me being beaten up by you guys because of my fear of literally everything." Henry argued.

"And that's where you're wrong Henry, son. You've already forgotten about the good memories we had, remember when you got over your first fear? We were so happy for you. Or maybe when it was your first birthday, we all celebrated that. The time when we had water fights by the river and I saved you four from nearly falling in? You and us laughed so hard at that. There's many more where that came from Henry, you just got to remember there's more to us than the bad." Tabari said, more calmer than usual.

The five of them started to fade, prompting Henry sharply. "Wait! Before you leave, two questions. One, am I dead?" Henry asked. "Of course you aren't dead, but whether we are depends on what you plan to do once you get back. I'm sure Arlo has made something that'll give you some inspiration, just like you showed him something that inspired him." Zarla replied.

"Final question, do you forgive me for what I did, back on that day?" Henry asked, this time more quiet and nervous-sounding. "Henry, we forgave you many years ago. The real question is: Do you, forgive yourself?" Tabari calmly said. They all smiled at him, before fading completely.

The white world faded into a place that felt so much familiar; the woods that was adjacent to the farm. Looking up, the sky was covered in cloud, and the rain that came crashing down was enough to put a mirror shine on Henry in a matter of seconds.

"Who are you?" A small, feeble voice asked. Looking down, Henry saw an apatosaur smaller than Arlo, but looked even more terrified of just the presence of someone else. This wasn't like anyone Henry previously met, but looking at it, he had similar features to Henry, only much less defined.

"I am Henry. What's your name?" Henry asked, the little one went slightly wide-eyed, before replying. "My n-name is also H-Henry, why are you here?" Henry asked, at first, this was much too confusing for Henry. But then, remembering what his father told him to do, he suddenly realized who he was talking to.

"I'm not sure why I am here. But believe me when I say this, I am you in your future." Henry responded, the smaller Henry went almost horrified over the thought "A-Are you sure, is this w-who I become when I'm o-older?" Henry took that into thought, before replying "Yes, I'm sure. I remember what I did to my parents, my family, and, like you, I hated it. I, you-um, we, both know what we did to our family. But I can tell you that you do indeed become much braver than who you are right now. However I, like you, am not keen on talking about what happened, I need to tell my family that."

"You have a family? As in a son and daughter?" Little Henry asked, "Yes, I have a family, and you will have one too. There's Libby, Buck, and a really special son named Arlo, you're going to have a bit of trouble with him, but also have some great fun with him." Henry responded.

"Why are you telling me all this?"

"Because, to show you that you do change. You need to stop worrying about the past and think about what to do now. Be brave like I did, and I know you can be something more than who you are. Just like Arlo, you were, or still am afraid of everything. But, you will become much more. I know Arlo is like me, but greater, and I'm sure you can be me, and so much more. In fact, I think you are. Me, and more." Henry said, he knew his words had done something.

"I will make sure to not be afraid of anything form now on. I will make you proud Henry." Little Henry said. Henry smiled slightly, before fading.

Everything faded again, this time returning to an area that wasn't so much familiar. The rain still poured, and the trees were much more pf a purple-grey, but there was something in front that was so much familiar. It was Arlo, trapped in a tangle of vines. Moving slowly in a slight wave of nervousness, Henry walked over to Arlo, and untangled the vines. Henry smiled at just the sight of Arlo, but deep inside he didn't know what to say.

"Poppa? You're alive?" Those words were said in a way that pained Henry, stopping him from saying anything else. He moved his tail so that it went around Arlo as they walked away.

"I-I can't believe it. It's you!" Henry could feel Arlo's head resting on his left side as things seemed to turn out well. However, a bolt of lightning soon made sure that Arlo wasn't resting anymore.

"M-my friend, Spot. He helped me and... now he's in trouble." That didn't seem right, Henry could of sworn that he saw Spot being taken back to the farm by Ben and the others, what had happened between the avalanche and now seemed to cross over hard.

"We have to go back. Poppa stop. Stop!" Henry couldn't help but keep moving, too focused to even think about what was actually happening. However, as he continued walking, he was beginning to realize that even this place he was in right now wasn't all too real.

"Poppa?" Arlo asked, Henry ignored the comment, still too deep in thought to think about it much.

"You're... not here." Arlo said quietly, but it was still enough to throw Henry out of thought and stop in his tracks. So much Henry wanted to tell Arlo about, but the fact there was too much to tell was a reason why he didn't know where to begin.

He calmed before Arlo could say anything else "I'm scared... But Spot needs me. I blamed him for what happened to you but, it wasn't his fault." Henry slowly turned around to see Arlo again, slightly saddened by both what Arlo was saying and how he didn't have the nerve to say anything. "So I got to go help him, because... I love him." That was enough to convince Henry on what to say next. He realized that Arlo was as much unconscious as he was, and both were thinking the same thing.

"I knew you had it in you." Henry said quietly, he cracked a smile, enough to gain a smile from Arlo. "You're me, and more. Now go take care of that critter." Henry added, he felt himself fade with the rain, seeing Arlo smile more than ever knew he had done something right.

Meanwhile, Arlie woke up to find Henry half in the snow. Trying to get out to help, she couldn't; the snow had already hardened. Looking over, she knew Henry had bene knocked out hard by the avalanche, and how long it was until he would wake was a question she had been asking. Henry suddenly woke up, turning to see Arlie. "Oh Henry, you're finally awake! So the avalanche freed us from the landslide but managed to knock you out for a bit, and I was starting to worry that you were-"

"Arlie, look." Henry noticed that the sun was almost completely covered; a tiny slim of light remained, but was fading ever more faster. "The rumbling sound Henry, it's a wave." Arlie gestured to a massive wave that was going to sweep them away "Any way out of this Arlie?" Henry responded.

"No, we're too slow to out run the thing, the dam is just around that corner, and the river is down there below. All we can do is pray." Arlie responded, Henry looked over to Arlie before smiling "I don't think we need to pray."

"Oh, and what makes you think that?" Arlie wondered.

"Lets just say I had a few recalls, and they've taught me well." Henry calmly responded, before adding "Arlie, do you forgive yourself for what you said to me?"

Arlie was about to say something, but ducked under instead, and this time, Henry ducked too, knowing what she was ducking from. The wall of water came around and hit them both. Meanwhile, Ben and the others got back to Arlo, before a huge splash went over the mountain slightly, moving over to the dam. The dam got impacted hard, but remained fairly in place fortunately. However, Jess was starting to worry over whether or not Henry and Arlie made it in time. And just before they could say anything, the sky went pitch black.

The last slim of the sun went out, leaving behind a large, distinct halo. The eclipse was at it's full, and the sight only rained one thing down on everyone: Fear.

A/N: Well, there's part 1, I decided to split the chapter into two parts as there was going to be so much in one chapter it would of been maybe 5-7k words (which would of been the most words put into a chapter that I've made). Any ways, I hope you liked the chapter, or even enjoying the story so far! To the new people here, I'll be uploading a chapter every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (Unless I'm busy), and if a review/PM is helpful enough, I'll send a PM of 5 lines of the next chapter. I'll see you next chapter!

Disclaimer: Arlie, Ben, Chris, Jess, Mike, Sandra, Rick, Jake, Ethan Fifi, Luke, Mallory, Odina, Tabari and Zarla (Holy crap I've made quite enough OCs for this chapter) are the only characters owned by me. Every other character is owned by Disney(Pixar) and its film 'The Good Dinosaur'.
