Chapter 5: The cave

The next morning, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike went to Tall Peak where the wooden club-house (that Tom Nook bullied 1 week ago) was at.

(Cera) So. Anyone know where they are?

(Petrie) Me no know.

(Ducky) Maybe they are showing Ali and Rosalina some more of The Great Valley.

(Cera) Maybe. As long as they're alright.

(?) Guys?

(Ducky) That is Littlefoot's grandma. Something is not right. Oh, no.

Grandma Longneck came to the top of the mountain and looked inside the club-house.

(Cera) Grandma Longneck. Where are they?

(Grandma Longneck) I can't find them anywhere. They must have gone to look for the Night Flower. Oh my brave Littlefoot and his brave friends.

As Ali and Rosalina led them through a rocky point, They knew that the cave to The Land of Mists was close.

(Mario) So Rosalina. Are you sure this is the way to The Land of Mists?

(Rosalina) I'm not sure Mario. The herd moved all over the place that we might have lost track of where it is.

(Ali) I think we're going the right way.

Just then they found themselves on a ledge and saw water and 2 rainbows.

(Mario) Whoa!

(Littlefoot) Wow!

(Peach) It's beautiful.

(Rosalina) If only my mother was here. Wait. I remember now. Ali and I have been here before.

(Ali) We are going the right way after all. The Land of Mists is on the other side of that cave over there.

So they went to the cave. As they got in it was too dark to see.

(Littlefoot) It sure is dark in here.

(Rosalina) Don't worry. I can use my wand to make it work like a flashlight?

(Mario) You can do that?

(Rosalina) Yes we can. Watch.

Rosalina held her wand and used it to make a light shine from it.

(Mario) I'm gonna need to remember this.

As they went on they came to a pond. Until they stopped in front of where the water got dark.

(Ali) Deep water. My mom had to carry me over it.

(Luigi) Is there another way out?

(Peach) We don't know.

(Mario) We'll just have to go exploring to find a way to the other side then.

And so they did. Unknown to them that an alligator and a sharp-tooth bird were watching them.

As they kept going, they saw a light at the end of the cave.

(Littlefoot) Hey. I think we found the exit.

So they ran to the light. But when they got to it, they saw that they were on a ledge that goes to a pit of who knows how deep.

(Luigi) Maybe we should try somewhere else. (echoing) Somewhere else. Somewhere else. Somewhere else. Somewhere else.

(Littlefoot) Hey. A talk back.

(Toad) You mean echo silly. Hello! (echoing) Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello!

(Littlefoot) Alright. Let's not get too carried away. We still have to find a way to The Land of Mists.

So they turned around and looked for another way out. But then the ground started to shake.

(Luigi) Earthquake.

The earthquake made rocks fall from the sealing. Everyone tried to escape from the cave-in. Running past big rocks and sealing spikes. Ali and Rosalina made it to the other side but saw that they didn't make it in time.

(Ali) Littlefoot! Littlefoot?

(Rosalina) Guys?

Ali and Rosalina tried to move the rocks but they were too heavy to push.

(Ali) We can't move them by ourselves. We need help.

(Polari) Don't worry guys. We'll be right back with help.

And so Ali and Rosalina ran back to The Great Valley to get help.

As they got up, they saw that Ali and Rosalina got separated from them.

(Mario) Ali? Rosalina?

They looked at the fallen rocks.

(Daisy) Can you hear us?

No response. So they tried to move the rocks out of the way but they were too heavy.

(Littlefoot) We can't move them by ourselves.

(Peach) Maybe we can find help around here.

So they went on to find help. As they went on, they came into some light.

(Toadette) Well, at least it's not so dark anymore.

But then, they heard footsteps.

(Luigi) Uh oh. Sounds like someone else is in the cave.

Peach looked around to see what it was. But nothing was there. So they just kept on going. But Just then, something pumped into them. They looked under their guts to see what it was. It was a big turtle making a screeching sound which scared them. They ran until they tripped on some rocks.

(Turtle) WHAT ARE YOU KIDS DOING IN MY CAVE?!

Mario was about to answer. But before he could, he looked at the turtle's open mouth and saw that he was toothless.

(Mario) Hey. You don't have any teeth.

The turtle calmed down when he heard Mario's comment.

(Turtle) Yeah. I know. I couldn't scare anyone in my life depending on it. But you can't blame a guy for trying. This cave's a dangerous place you know?

(Peach) We know.

(Turtle) The name's Archie. What might you be?

(Littlefoot) I'm Littlefoot.

(Mario) I'm Mario and these are my friends.

(Archie) Say. Are friends with a Three-horn, a Swimmer, a Flyer, and a Spike-tail?

(Mario) Yes we are.

(Archie) Then that means you're the gang that defeated Sharptooth. I heard about you guys from other dinosaurs that came here but I've never thought I'd see you in real life.

(Peach) It's nice to meet you too.

(Archie) So what brings you here all alone?

(Luigi) We're not really that alone. We were here with our friends until this big earthquake started and made rocks block the path we came from.

They took Archie to the spot where the path was blocked off.

(Wario) This is where it happened.

(Archie) Whoa. That was some cave-in. You're lucky you kids weren't hurt. Let's hope your friends were as lucky as you all were.

(Littlefoot) We hope. You think you can help us move some of these rocks out of the way?

(Archie) Sure. I might be able to push a rock or 2 out of the way. Where there's a will, there's a way.

So they started pushing the rocks with all the strength they have. Though Archie was a little weak due to his age.

(Archie) Or a pulled muscle.
