A few days later, Aladar was still heading inland as they were now trekking across a rocky desert. And so far, they were the only signs of life for miles. And they haven't seen anything since they arrived on the mainland.
And because they were wandering inland, the land is completely new and strange.
But that means encountering new predators.
As they continue on, Suri was quietly crying.
"Now, now, Suri." Yar said comforting. "There's nothing to be afraid."
And then a sound was heard as Zini looked and saw something ahead.
"Look!" Zini exclaimed seeing ahead.
"Ah!" Yar jumped as Zini leaned over him.
"What?!" Zoboo looked ahead.
"Whoa!" Aladar exclaimed and noticed something.
And then a shape of a creature suddenly rushed off behind a hill.
"Did you see that?" Aladar asked and walks ahead.
"What?" Yar frowned.
"I did." Zini replied.
"Me too!" Suri said.
And then Aladar got to the hilltop, but there was no sign of the creature.
"Where did it go?" Pilo wondered.
"I don't know." Aladar said. "Let's go see."
"Leave it alone." Yar demanded and then Aladar begins to move. "Hey!"
"Shh, Dad." Pilo said softly.
"I think it went this way." Zoboo said.
"I-It's scaring Suri here." Yar said.
"No, it's not." Suri protested.
"Everyone just be quiet." Aladar said.
Aladar heads down into a rock gully, and looks around. And then heard a kind of chirping sound, and then looks on a hilltop close by and saw something.
It was a small 2 legged dinosaur about 6 feet long with a tan color look and with green stripes. And has long arms with 3 fingered claws, and a long tail, and has a curve big claw on the big toe held up.
A small dinosaur called Velociraptor.
And at the moment, the Velociraptor was busy grooming itself.
Unsure what to make of the small dinosaur, took a step forward.
"Who's that guy?" Zoboo whispered. "Who could it be?"
The Raptor continues grooming, and then lifts his head up. And then spots them.
The Raptor stares at them, and lightly growled as 2nd Raptor appeared by him.
Aladar took a step back as the 2 Raptors watched them on the ledge. And then a distant sound was heard close by, and then Aladar turn to his right and saw 3 more Velociraptors just appeared.
And it was then Aladar began to realize something was wrong.
And then they realized they were surrounded all each side by Raptors.
And Raptors are most famous for being in groups.
And then Aladar begins to move away, but then suddenly a pair of familiar feet with the big toe claw appeared landing on a rock. And Aladar turns and saw another Velociraptor.
But this one was a blue coloration on his head, indicating he's the pack's alpha.
For a moment the Raptor looks at them curiously and made a low growl. And then suddenly the Raptor let out a screech baring his small but sharp teeth out and bares his hand claws out.
And Aladar jumped back as the lemurs held on.
And then Aladar turns and saw 3 Velociraptors approaching him, and then Aladar begins to back away as the 8 Raptors soon stood shoulder to shoulder as the alpha soon joins them. But the other raptors won't attack until the alpha makes a move, and soon Aladar was backed against a corner at a rock.
And then the alpha rears back into a lunging position and growls. And then suddenly catapults himself towards Aladar, and then Aladar quickly lifts up as the alpha and a 2nd raptor hits the rock and was knocked back as Aladar came down. And then he quickly moves as the alpha Raptor lunges.
Aladar quickly climbed onto a rock, and glanced back and quickly jumps off and takes off as the pack of Velociraptors leaped over the rock and chased after him.
Aladar ran across the desert as the Raptors swiftly chased after them. And they were soon in a sandstorm.
Aladar ran as the lemurs held on, and the Raptors begin to quickly gain on him.
Raptors have long legs built for high speed chases, and can hunt animals many times their own mass. But they are only built for high speed chases in short distances.
And then the alpha Raptor pulls up on the right, and then leaps onto Aladar's right back leg. And then bites down on his legs as Aladar roars in pain.
And then on Aladar's left, a 2nd Raptor begins approached him and being a great jumper, he jumps in the air and almost over Aladar's back near Yar. And then snaps his jaws almost snatching him and then Yar lost his balance.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" Yar then falls off.
But at the last second, Zini quickly acts fast and grabs Yar's hand.
"Yar, grab on!" Zini yelled reaching with his other hand.
Yar tries to reach, but he can barely grab it from Aladar running as he jostled.
"I can't reach!" Yar tried to reached.
Yar struggles to grab hold, and then the alpha Raptor's right hand appeared near him. And then at the last second was pulled up as the alpha Raptor snaps his jaws nearly missing him. But then the Raptor looks to his right and ahead, and seems to look like he noticed something ahead.
He then growled, and then leaps out of Aladar's side and ran as Aladar continues running. And then the Raptors strangely slowed to a stop.
"Aladar, they're stopping!" Pilo said.
And then the Raptors strangely begin to rush off a different direction as Aladar came to a stop and looked back as they disappeared into the blowing sand. And then strangely distant sounds were heard close by.
And then before they could protest of what happened, Aladar looked ahead and saw something in front of him as a shadow appeared.
Then suddenly a roar was heard as was suddenly knocked off his feet and hits the ground hard. And what knocked him of his feet was a very angry Iguanodon with light purplish scales, light blue eyes and a high nose ridge.
"Stay out of my way!" He demanded.
And then he walks over Aladar as the lemurs quickly moved away to avoid getting stepped on.
And the Iguanodon continues walking off as a 2nd Iguanodon with brown scales, greenish eyes and a high nose turned to Aladar.
"You heard Kron." He said. "Move it!"
Aladar soon got to his feet as the lemurs got to his back. And then roars nearby were as Aladar turns and then found himself walking aside a large herd of dinosaurs. With some Iguanodons and Parasaurolophus, and Aladar watches in amazement as a Parasaurolophus walks by him. And then he noticed several infant Iguanodons walking under him as his head follows them and looks down.
But then as he lifts his head up, and accidentally hit his head against the head of a female Iguanodon with tanish scales and some purple with yellow eyes.
"Watch it." She said.
And then she begins walk off as Aladar watched her go. And then suddenly a growling sound was heard, and Aladar looks ahead and saw Pachyrhinosaurus walking towards him. And then the Pachyrhinosaurus slams his head against Aladar, and he falls to the ground. And then a group of small dinosaurs called Microceratus appeared leaped on the ground as they pass him.
"Zini, get your head down!" Yar lowers Zini down a bit.
And then Aladar lifts his head as the little dinosaurs hopped away. And then a loud bellow was heard as Aladar turned as the ground shook.
And then in front of him was a Brachiosaurus approaching him as the Earth shook with each step. And the Brachiosaurus bellows as Aladar looks up to where it's head was. And it was the biggest creature he has ever seen in his life. And then then Aladar looks down again, and saw the massive feet nearing him. And then he quickly moves aside and the Brachiosaurus walks under them as they were completely stunned of what they were seeing.
And soon Aladar got to his feet as the Brachiosaurus walks off.
"Hey buddy, hate to break it to you." Said an Iguanodon with greenish scales and brown eyes appeared. "But you're going the wrong way."
"You're walkin' backwards, huh?" Asked an elderly Styracosaurus. "Well, let me know if that gets you there any faster."
"You guys holding up okay back there?" Called out an Iguanodon with light bluish scales and blue eyes.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Replied an Amargasaurus with light violent scales and gray eyes.
"A little dusty." A Triceratops with brownish orange scales and brown eyes said and coughed. "But doing good."
"Same." Replied an Ornithomimus with tan orange scales and a light underside and light blue eyes.
"Keep those little legs movin', Url." The Styracosaur called back to a small Euoplocephalus keeping with them. "Or you'll get left behind."
And then Aladar walks to the hilltop, and then saw in amazement the Brachiosaurus bellows and the dust cloud clears. And they saw the entire herd walking off.
"Look at all the Aladars." Suri said amazed.
"Mangatsika! I can't believe my mind!" Zoboo said amazingly astonished by the sight. "There must be dozens of them."
And then Yar noticed the look on Aladar.
"If you are even thinking of joining them..." Yar said.
And then a growl frighten Zini, and then fearfully grasped around Yar.
And then behind them was the Velociraptor pack that has circled around the herd and soon spotted them.
"Uh-oh." Zoboo said.
"Hang on! Hang on!" Aladar quickly said and rushed off.
And then the Raptors begin to chase them.
Aladar quickly runs off after the herd as the Raptors got to the hilltop and watch the herd go as it was too big for even this pack to get too close.
And the alpha Raptor angrily roars.
Sometime later, the herd soon reaches a gully as Kron and the female Iguanodon stood on a ridge of rock. And the brown Iguanodon stood near them, and then the herd came to a stop. And then Aladar suddenly appeared after finally catching up with them. And then came to a stop and over to where Kron as several other dinosaurs turned to him.
And Kron looks out at the wide open landscape ahead.
"Kron." Spoke the brown Iguanodon.
And Kron turns to him.
"There is a more protected spot further down the-"
"We'll rest here for the night." Kron said. "Go ahead, Bruton."
And then Bruton turns and bellows out to the herd.
And then soon the herd begins to move as they begin to find a spot to rest for the night. And Aladar just moved aside as some of the smaller dinosaur rushed pass him.
"Oh, Eema, I wish we were at your nesting grounds now." Said an elderly voice.
Aladat turns and saw the small group of dinosaurs from earlier as the Brachiosaur was talking to the Styracosaur.
"All this pushing and shoving about, just for a place to sleep." Said the Brachiosaur.
"Well, we have been on the move for days now." Said the green scaled Iguanodon.
"Chris is right, most are pretty tired." Said the blue scaled Iguanodon.
"Yeah." Said the Triceratops. "Even Jimmy can hardly stand now."
"Yeah, I'm awake Koki." The Ornithomimus turned to her.
"Okay, okay." The Amargasaurus quickly said. "Like Martin said, we're all just tired."
"Nice save, Aviva." Martin said.
"I'm not used to this kind of behavior." The Brachiosaur said.
"Baylene, you got big feet." Eema said. "Just give 'em a kick." And then she noticed a Stygimoloch in front of her. "Get!" She snapped as the Stygimoloch rushed off.
"Ooh, I couldn't possibly." Baylene said and then saw some Microceratus scattering around her enormous feet. "Shoo, shoo." She tried shooing them away with a foot.
"Will you come on, Baylene?" Eema turned to her. "You wanna get to the nesting grounds alive? Show some backbone."
"Hey, there." Aladar said suddenly appeared next to her.
And then Eema screamed with a fright from his sudden appearance, and quickly turns to him.
"Estan locos?" Aviva snapped also recovered from that as well. "You're gonna give a girl a heart attack sneaking up like that!"
"Oh, sorry about that." Aladar apologized. "Uh, it's just we overheard you talking, and, um..."
And then strangely Url went up to Aladar, and then drops a rock from his mouth and nudges it to his feet and pants like a reptilian version of a puppy dog.
"Well, my word." Eema said astonished. "Look at Url. He doesn't normally warm up to strangers so fast."
And Url spins around like a he's an overgrown dog.
Baylene meanwhile was more curious about the 5 lemurs on Aladar's back. And she sniffs then, and then sneezed.
"What an unfortunate blemish." Baylene said.
"Good mud bath'd clear those up." Eema said.
"Excuse me?" Yar turned to her.
"Mud bath?" Zoboo frowned.
And then Eema suddenly roared in surprised as she thought they were clamps on Aladar's back.
"Um, he's my grandfather... Couples times removed." Aladar explained.
"Try a couple species removed." Zini corrected.
"Hey, wait a minute." Chris said noticing him. "I recognize you from the hill back there."
"Uh, my name's Aladar. This is my family." Aladar introduced him and his family. "We're all that's left."
"Oh, my dear." Baylene sadly said. "I'm so sorry."
"Baylene's the last of her kind." Eema said and went up to Aladar. "Finding stragglers like her all along the way."
"I heard you say something about nesting grounds?" Pilo said.
"It is the beautiful place there is, child." Eema said. "It's where the herd goes to have their babies."
"Will we find anybody that looks... like us there?" Suri asked.
"Oh, the last few days, I've seen 'em all shapes and sizes." Eema said.
"We often see one of your kind in trees sometimes." Chris said. "There might a few of them there."
"Who knows what we'll find." Eema said. "The hard job now is just getting there."
"Luckily for us, all that's left to walk as a desert and a mountain range to pass." Martin said.
"And we're being driven unmercifully." Baylene said.
"By who?" Aladar asked.
"Kron, the herd's head honcho." Eema explained.
"Yeah, he's the herd's leader." Koki added.
"We can hardly keep up." Baylene said. "An older woman like myself... It's... Well, it's positively indecent."
"Then tell him." Aladar said. "What's the worst he can do?"
And then Url was heard lightly growling as they turned and saw Kron, Bruton and the female Iguanodon appearing and Url moves aside. And Bruton snorted at the Ankylosaur as a clear sign for him to stay out of his way.
And then they walked by Aladar as Kron snorted.
"Hey!" Aladar said unpleased by that as they walked off. "What's his problem?"
And then Eema went next to him.
"That's him, honey. Kron." Eema said.
"And his lieutenant, Bruton." Chris said. "And also his sister, Neera."
"Huh." Aladar frowned and then begins to approach them. "Uh, excuse me! Kron, you got a second?"
Kron then turns to him.
"Get lost, kid." Bruton coldly turned to Aladar.
"Hmm. Relax, Bruton." Kron said and then turns and approached Aladar. "Who are you?"
"Uh, Aladar." Aladar answered.
"Why aren't you uphill with the..." Kron then noticed the 5 lemurs on Aladar's back smiling nervously waving. "...uh, young bloods?" And then snorted.
"Well, I was back here talking to these guys." Aladar explained. "I guess they... They're having a hard time keeping time. So, you know, maybe you could slow it down a bit?"
"Hmm. Let the weak set the pace." Kron said. "Now, there's an idea. Better let me do the thinking from now on, Aladar." And then he turns away.
"Hey, they need help back here." Aladar said.
"Hmm. Watch yourself, boy." Kron warned.
And then he begins to walk off to the herd nearby now laying down.
"Don't worry." Neera said turning to him. "That's how my brother treats newcomers, no matter how charming they are."
And then she walks off with her brother.
"You sure know how to catch a girl's eye, there, stud." Zini joked.
"I wouldn't be catchin' nobody's eye if I was you, especially Neera's." Eema advised and lays down. "You just keep your head down, and you mind what Kron tells you."
"Since when do we take orders from the likes of him?" Yar inquired.
Eema chuckled. "Kron has swatted flies bigger than you, pops."
"I can hold that monster's brain in the palm of my..."
"No, Yar, she's right." Aladar said. "Better to keep our heads down with this bunch than get 'em bitten off by those things." He looks out to the Raptor pack on a nearby hilltop.
"Oh, those guys?" Chris turns to them. "They're not much trouble as long you keep a distance in a group."
"Well, you just consider yourself lucky that's all that's following us." Eema said.
"At least we don't have anything bigger." Aviva said.
On the hilltop, 2 Raptors fought each other as one bites onto the other's neck as they fought.
And the alpha hissed as he watches the herd and has some scars on his face.
Author's Note:
And finally the Wild Kratts appearing as dinosaurs.
Chris and Martin as brothers.
Aviva as an Amargasaurus since she's Spanish. And Amargasaurus would suit her for being a South American dinosaur.
Koki as a Triceratops for being hardheaded.
And Jimmy as an Ornithomimus for being skittish.
Believe it or not, Amargasaurus, Triceratops and Ornithomimus are some of the few dinosaurs that were originally planned for the film. Along with several others like T. Rex, Maiasauria, Pachycephalosaurus, Nanshiungosaurus a species of Therizinosaurid, Alvarezsaurus, Utahraptor, Camarasaurus, Pentaceratops, Corythosaurus, and Craterosaurus a type of Stegosaur.
