Chapter 10: Return of the egg-eaters
As the gang went to sleep, the plants were starting to move. When the full moon came out, the plants Then bloomed golden flowers all over the place. The flowers were so bright it got Spike to wake up and look at them. He then knew what they are and liked Ducky to wake her up.
(Ducky) I do not need a bath Mama.
Spike then pushed Ducky to her feet and she woke up and looked at the flower.
(Ducky) How pretty. A golden flower.
She then started to go back to sleep until she then remembered something.
(Ducky) Golden Flower. Spike, it is the Night Flower.
Spike then went to the others and started liking Cera which got her up but made her mad.
(Cera) Stop it Spike.
But before she could say anything else, she saw the flowers.
(Cera) Guys wake up. We found the Night Flower.
The others woke up and saw that Cera was right.
(Petrie) It them.
(Peach) Pretty.
(Mario) C'mon. Let's grab some and take them back to The Great Valley.
However, they didn't see the 2 of the last bronze and silver Night Flowers. Red Claw got up and saw that the flowers are now full grown.
(Red Claw) Screech, Thud. Wake up. The Flowers are fully grown.
(Bowser) Kids. Wake up. The Flowers are fully grown.
They woke up and saw the flowers.
(Screech) Perfect. C'mon Guys. It's time to bring the egg-eaters back.
They grabbed the flowers. They both had a silver one on their right hands and a bronze one on their left hands. They then put the flowers into the egg-eaters mouths.
(Ludwig) And now we wait.
The flowers did their magic and the bones shined in a light. As the light was gone, Strut and Ozzy's skin came back. They then opened their eyes and saw that they were alive.
(Strut) Ozzy. We're alive.
(Ozzy) OF COURSE WE'RE ALIVE BARK-BRATH!
(Red Claw) Yes you are.
As Strut and Ozzy looked at Red Claw, they heard him talk.
(Ozzy) What's going on here? Sharp-teeth can't talk.
(Bowser) But you can hear Sharp-teeth talk because of what I did to bring you back to life.
The 2 egg-eaters looked at each other. They didn't know what Red Claw was saying.
(Red Claw) My name is Red Claw and these are my fast-biters Screech and Thud also this is my friend Bowser and these are his kids. I would like you 2 to join my army.
(Ozzy) And why should we?
(Red Claw) In return I can get you all the eggs you can eat.
(Strut) Aw. Last time we tried to have eggs
But before Strut could finish, Ozzy bonked his head.
(Red Claw) Yes. We have a common enemy. The kids and those guys from the mushroom kingdom that defeated Sharptooth.
(Ozzy) Those guys. They will pay for what they did to us.
(Red Claw) Yes. And they're close by. I have a plan to get them.
The gang grabbed as much as they could. They put the flowers on Spike.
(Littlefoot) Now let's get back to The Great Valley and give Grandpa the flowers.
But then Dil and Ichy came in out of nowhere.
(Ichy) Not so fast. The only place you're going is the inside of our stunecks.
The gang ran away from the biters and hid behind a boulder.
(Dil) Where did they go Ichy?
(Ichy) They're hiding. And I bet it's behind that bolder.
(Dil) What bolder?
(Ichy) Never mind.
Ichy flew to the bolder and saw that he was right. He grabbed Petrie before he could get away.
(Luigi) PETRIE!
(Ichy) I got him Dil.
Dil tried to bite Petrie but Ichy flew out of the way.
(Dil) What did you do that for?
(Ichy) He's small enough for me to eat leatherhead.
(Ducky) We got to do something.
Tickles squeaked and made battle moves as he was saying a plan that got into him. He then ran to Ichy and Dil.
(Ichy) He's mine and that's final.
Tickles then grabbed Dil's tail and brote it to Ichy's mouth and Ichy bite the tail before his mouth was too close to Petrie. Dil yelled in pain as Petrie got away from biters.
(Ichy) Dil I didn't mean it.
(Petrie) That too close.
Just then the gang got pushed by something and it was keeping them on the ground. Mario turned his head and saw that it was Strut and Ozzy.
(Mario) What? How? You're supposed to be dead.
(Peach) What is it?
(Luigi) It's Strut and Ozzy. They're alive.
The gang all looked at the egg-eaters and saw that the Mario Bros was right.
(Ozzy) Long time no see everyone. Did you miss us?
(Cera) This can't be happening.
(Strut) Our comeback was all thanks to Red Claw and Bowser.
(All) Red Claw and Bowser?
Red Claw and Bowser then came out from his hiding spot.
(Red Claw) Surprise.
(Ali) Rosalina, what's he saying?
(Mario) Hold on Listen.
Mario and his friends listened to hear what he's saying.
(Red Claw) Did you really think all the bronze and silver Night Flowers were gone? Only 2 of both of them remained growing. And I used them to bring these egg-eaters back to life.
Ali and Rosalina got in a shock state. They thought all the bronze and silver Night Flowers were gone.
Cera then got back into reality and managed to get the egg-eaters to fall off the gang. Mario then got on Yoshi's back, Luigi then got on Littlefoot's back as Toad and Toadette got on Cera's and Peach got on Ali's. They then started running away.
(Red Claw) After them.
(Bowser) And you kids get the princess.
Dil and Ichy heard Red Claw and saw the gang running away.
(Ichy) Guys. Wait for us.
The gang ran across a log bridge. A flower fell off Spike and Ducky saw it and ran after it.
(Ducky) Come back flower. We must stick together.
As Ducky grabbed the flower, Ichy came and grabbed her.
(Ichy) You're coming with me.
The gang stopped as they saw what was going on.
(All) Ducky.
Petrie flew to Ichy and grabbed Ducky's feet.
(Petrie) Me save you Ducky.
(Ichy) Let go you leatherwing.
The 2 flyers pulled to whoever gets Ducky. They both lost their grip and Ducky fell into the water below.
(Petrie) No. Ducky.
Ducky came out of the water but she was unconsec.
(All) Ducky!
Dil came out of the water with Ducky on her face.
(Ichy) You got her Dil.
(Dil) I do? Then she's mine.
Dil threw Ducky into the air and she started to fall into Dil's mouth.
(All) DUCKY!
(?) Duck.
(Daisy) Who said
But before Daisy could finish, she then saw Spike open his mouth.
(Spike) Duck. Duck. DUCKY!
Everyone gasped. Spike just said a word.
(?) Duck.
(Mario) Who is it now?
Mario looked at Tickles.
(Tickles) Duck. Duck. DUCKY!
Everyone gasped again. Tickles talked too.
(Tickles) Ducky. Wake up.
Ducky woke up as she heard Tickles talk as she landed on a branch and it fell onto Dil and hitted her head a couple of times before it flung Ducky off of it and back onto the land as Red Claw and the egg-eaters came.
(Red Claw) Come back here you brats.
(Mario) Guys. We better go.
And so they did. They ran into tall grass and Red Claw couldn't find them anywhere.
(Red Claw) That got away. But we'll get them next time. Come on you egg-eaters. I think we still need to find you some eggs.
As Red Claw and the egg-eaters left, the gang came out of hiding. And now Bowser Jr. saw Dil and Ichy were alone and in a fight.
(Dil) It's your fault they got away.
(Ichy) It's your fault leatherhead.
(Dil) Without me you'd starve.
(Ichy) I would not.
(Dil) You would too.
(Ichy) Would not.
(Dil) Would too.
(Ichy) Would not. Would not. Would not.
(Dil) Would too. Would too. Would too.
(Ichy) That's it. I had it with you. For now on
(Both) I'm going it alone.
(?) Hey!
(Dil) Who said that?
(?) Up Here.
They looked up and saw Bowser Jr.
(Ichy) Who are you?
(Bowser Jr.) I'm Bowser Jr., my dad's kid.
(Dil) So?
(Bowser Jr.) So if you stop fighting you guys can come if you want.
(Ichy) No we said we're going alone.
(Bowser Jr.) Fine. Also this guy will make you change your mind.
(Dil) What are you talking about?
They looked up and saw that it was a Swimming Sharp-toothed Long-neck. The Swimming Sharp-toothed Long-neck was hungry and started to chase them as they ran away to Bowser Jr.
(Ichy & Dil) JR. WAIT FOR US!
(Mario) Are you alright Ducky?
(Ducky) I'm ok. Yep, yep, yep. But I thought I heard Spike and Tickles talk.
(Peach) They did Ducky. They talked. But where's Tickles?
Tickles then came back.
(Tickles) Guys. Guess what. I'm coming with you to The Great Valley.
(Cera) You are? But you have family here.
(Tickles) I don't have much of a family here. I think of you guys as my family.
(Littlefoot) You do?
(Lincoln) We're all a herd and herd means family.
(Littlefoot) Right. Well, we better go now.
(Ducky) Oh Spike. I'm so happy. You talked it yep, yep, yep. You did.
With that Spike gave her a lick to approve that he talked for the first time and the gang went back to The Great Valley.
