Chapter 6 of The Search For Pterano by landbeforetimefan
Littlefoot woke and when he did he was shocked at first. He had been dreaming that he had been in the Great Valley but he wasn't in the Great Valley. Instead he was in a dark hole in the middle of a cave. He yawned and stood up. All were sleeping except for Pterano.
"Pterano, what are you doing?" Littlefoot asked.
"I'm trying to figure out a plan," Pterano said.
"What kind of a plan?" Littlefoot asked rather curiously.
"An escape plan of course," Pterano answered getting irritated with the young long neck's questions.
At that moment Kenton came and stood at the edge of the hole.
"Pterano, it's work time!" Kenton said as he threw down a long vine.
By now Cera had awakened. "What are you going to do with us? You can't just leave us down here!" she said.
"Oh don't worry I'm not going to leave you down there. You're going to help search with Pterano. Now one at a time grab a hold of the vine and climb up," Kenton said.
After they were all out of the hole Kenton, Sierra, and Rinkus led them deeper into the cave. When they arrived at a large area in the cave Kenton said, "Now, I want you to dig and look around until you find the power."
"But what is a power? Is it a rock or perhaps it is a big bright light of some kind?" Ducky asked.
Kenton placed his wing on his forehead, "Just search until you find something bright and shiny," he ordered.
They all began to dig while Kenton watched them. He soon made Sierra and Rinkus help search. As Littlefoot dug his foot hit something hard. He began to dig deeper until finally he saw it. A rather large rock. The rock was sparkling and it shined very bright. Pterano noticed it and he quickly came over to stand beside Littlefoot.
"Don't say anything Littlefoot," Pterano whispered to him.
But unfortuently Kenton saw it.
"Get out of my way!" he said pushing Littlefoot and Pterano out of the way.
He looked down at the shining rock and smiled, "I have found the rock of power. It is mine!"
After Kenton had dug out the rock he held it in his hands.
At that moment Pterano jumped on Kenton and grabbed the rock.
"Quick kids run!" he yelled to Littlefoot and his friends.
Pterano, along with the five young dinosaurs, began to run out of the cave. Sierra and Rinkus tried to block them but Littlefoot whopped them with his tail.
"Get them you fools!" Kenton ordered Sierra and Rinkus.
The two flyers jumped up and pursued after Pterano and the young dinosaurs.
What seemed like forever Pterano and the young dinosaurs found the exit out of the cave.
"There it is! Hurry we've got to get out of here," Pterano said.
As they neared the exit they heard Sierra, Rinkus, and Kenton behind them.
"What are we going to do with the rock of power?" Littlefoot asked as they ran out of the cave.
"I don't know yet. We must destroy it somehow," Pterano said.
Just as Kenton and his two sidekicks neared the cave exit two giant sharpteeth emerged from some large trees.
"Oh no! Now what do we do!" Littlefoot asked frantically.
"I know what to do. You kids run that way and I'll distract the sharpteeth," Pterano said.
"No me not leave you Uncle!" Petrie said.
"Petrie, go! I'll be fine," Pterano said.
When the young dinosaurs had ran away from the sharpteeth Pterano made a dash for the cave. He ran right into Kenton, Sierra, and Rinkus. The four flyers lay just outside the cave. But Pterano still clutched the rock of power in his hands.
As the sharpteeth grew closer Pterano threw the rock of power right at them. The rock of power cast out a bright light. The confused sharpteeth turned and ran away. But as one of them turned and ran away his foot hit the rock of power and it rolled along until it dropped off into a nearby creek. The rushing water swept the rock of power down the creek and over a waterfall.
Kenton ran over to the edge of the creek. "No! It's gone! I can't believe it's gone," he cried out. He then turned his angry eyes on Pterano, "You. . .you. . .fool! I'm going to kill you!" he said.
Pterano lifted his wings and flew away before Kenton could do anything.
"Just you wait Pterano! I'll find the rock of power and I'll be ruler of the whole world! But the first thing I'm going to do is kill you with the rock of power!" Kenton cried out.
Pterano searched for Littlefoot and the rest of the young ones. He finally spotted them under a tree. He flew down to them and smiled.
"The rock of power is gone and everything is fine," Pterano said.
"That's wonderful!" Littlefoot said.
"Me so glad you okay Uncle," Petrie said giving Pterano a hug.
"So, are you coming back with us to the Great Valley Pterano?" Cera asked.
"Of course! You don't think I'd stay in this wretched place for the rest of my life do you?" Pterano said laughing.
So it was that Littlefoot and his friends, along with Pterano, made their way back to the Great Valley. This adventure was over but there would be more to come.
