Chapter 3: The flood

After they came to a pond, they sat down and looked at their reflections.

(Littlefoot) It's not fair.

(Mario) I wanna do something with the others.

(Luigi) Count me in. There's gotta be something that we can do.

But then Mario looked at his reflection again.

(Mario) Oh. Hey Mario. What do you wanna do today? (Deep voice) I don't know Mario. What do you wanna do?

(Toadette) Ha ha. You're silly.

(Mario) What else could I do to pass the time?

(Littlefoot) I do that sometimes as well.

(Toad) Okay. But let's have some real fun.

(Mario) Okay. I'll race you again.

Mario started running off to the forest.

(Littlefoot) Hey! You got a head start!

The rest and Littlefoot ran as fast as they could to catch up with Mario. However, they didn't know how far they were going. Until they came to another pond.

(Mario) Can't catch me.

But then, Mario slid to a stop when he saw that the pond was a bit bigger and it had some trees in it. The rest and Littlefoot saw it too.

(Luigi) You think we've wandered off too far from the herd?

(Mario) I think so.

(Littlefoot) Whoa. The rain has caused flooding in the valley.

(Peach) And look at those waterfalls.

(Mario) They must be coming from The Mysterious Beyond. Who knows what else could come from behind those falls?

(Littlefoot) Let's tell the grown-ups. They'll need to know about this.

(Peach) I was thinking the same thing.

The gang then ran back to the herd to tell them about the flood.

(5 minutes later)

(Littlefoot) It's over there Grandpa.

They lead the herd to the flood. All of the adults gasped at what they were seeing.

(Topps) Oh my. The rain has caused flooding in our valley.

(Grandpa Longneck) We were all afraid that this might happen.

(Topps) What do you mean all?!

Grandma Longneck looked at the waterfalls coming from the mountains. And those mountains are part of The Great Wall.

(Grandma Longneck) Those waterfalls are connected to The Mysterious Beyond. That's where the new water is coming from.

(Topps) And who knows what horrible creatures might have come from those falls?

Mario was about to suggest something. But Topps already faced him angrily.

(Topps) Witch means, I DON'T WANT CERA ANYWHERE NEAR IT!

Grandpa Longneck looked up at the sky and more thunder clouds coming this way. More rain was about to come.

(Grandpa Longneck) I think we better head home now. It looks like more rain is coming.

The herd turned around and began to walk back to their nests. Mario however needed to know about this water.

(Mario) Guys. I think we'll find out more about this water in the morning.

(Littlefoot) I'm with you on this.

The gang went to catch up with the grown-ups. But they didn't see a water creature swimming in the water. One of them almost looked like a shark. The other was a square. What are they?

After the walk to Littlefoot's nesting ground, Mario hid under a rock to avoid the rain and began to check his Jurassic books on underwater creatures that existed in the Jurassic time. He already knows about the Megalodon Shark. So there's no need to know anything about that. So he flipped to another page that showed a Liopleurodon.

Mario started to read about it. The book showed that the Liopleurodon was a type of Swimming Sharp-tooth. It was also a powerful swimmer. Mario began to shiver. He was afraid that the Liopleurodon was worse than the Megalodon Sharks. He also started to worry if a Liopeurodon ever comes into the new water.

However, Littlefoot came by which sent Mario out of his trance.

(Littlefoot) Mario. Are you alright?

(Mario) I'm fine.

Luckily the rain didn't last that long. The clouds moved away and revealed the night sky. Mario then stepped out of the rock and put his book away. And then he went to sleep.
