"Tragedy…"

"Death…"

"Unhappiness…"

"Dreams that could mean the future…"

"All of this I see, it all whirls around the world in which we used to know."

"Welcome to A Sharp-tooth's Heart. I'm your guide, and I'm called Sora W.T.K."

"There's nothing worse than to be stuck in a nightmare that you cannot be relieved. One dinosaur is suffering this tragedy as he tries…"

ESCAPE

LITTLEFOOT'S RETURN

"…Escape"

---------------------------------------------

It's been nearly three hours since Rex woke up from a dream that could mean the future. The dead longneck has been split equally to the sharp-teeth clan.

Rex has finished his half of the food, his mouth covered with the blood of a longneck. Rex yawns and lies back, staring at the clear blue sky.

'I wonder how Littlefoot's doing…'

Rex thought to himself.

Little does he know, he's not doing well…

=IN A CAVE=

Littlefoot lies motionless on the cold hard ground. Bull, standing at the cave's exit, watches Littlefoot's body, tired out.

"Let that teach you not to try to run away from me."

Bull warned, tired out.

Littlefoot's body moves, he slowly gets up to see Bull's expression of anger and hate. Bull growls and tackles Littlefoot, throwing him against the wall.

"I hate you…"

Bull expressed.

Bull walks out of the cave, sealing it with a giant rock, bringing darkness into the cave. Littlefoot gets up on his feet, tired out and in pain, the suffering he's going through because of Bull, it's unbearable.

Littlefoot has been thrown against the wall more times than he can count, receiving hits from Bull's tail is enough, but being grabbed by the neck with a grip so thigh, Littlefoot prefers dying than this abuse.

Littlefoot gets up on his feet; he doesn't know what to do. His only escape is the small crack on the roof, but it's too small for Littlefoot to crawl out.

Littlefoot is frustrated; he kicks a pebble with his tail as hard as he could. The pebble bounced off the walls, until it hit the crack on the roof.

"Huh?"

The pebble broke through the crack, making it wider, but not enough for Littlefoot to crawl out. Littlefoot thought of a plan, it might not work, but he was going to try…For his sake…and for his freedom.

=BACK TO REX=

Rex is still lying on his back, staring at the blue sky, lost in thought. His stomach begins to growl a little, he sits up, rubbing his belly.

"Even with my share of food I'm still hungry."

Rex thought aloud.

Rex yawned, and let himself drop unto his back. He continued to stare at the blue sky, since there's nothing to do and hunting for more food is not allowed without the leader's saying.

All of a sudden, a chunk of the long-neck falls in front of Rex.

"Hi, I overheard you're hungry."

A familiar voice said.

Rex sat up to see the face of a familiar, light-blue sharp-tooth.

"I'm full so you can take mine."

The sharp-tooth said.

Rex smiled to see him again.

=BACK TO LITTLEFOOT=

Littlefoot managed to push some boulders found inside the cave under the crack, enough to reach the roof.

He climbed to the top and with his paws, he started chipping away at the crack. Piece by piece, each piece taken off is a step closer to freedom. But how long of being alone does he has? Let's just hope it's enough to escape.

=BACK AT REX=

"I see you two are getting acquainted."

Rex looked behind himself to see Yu, smiling at always.

"You know Chomper?"

Rex said as he pointed to Chomper.

"I just met him."
Yu replied.

"You met him before."

Chomper nods.

"We met, but for a little while."

"Chomper, are you part of this clan too?"

Rex asks.

"My parents and I always accompany this clan when we meet; this is my fourth time being in this clan."

Chomper explains.

Small pebbles rolls down the mountain behind Rex, Yu and Chomper. They look up to see Bull, staring at Rex with murderous eyes.

Rex sighs.

"Again?"

The clan starts moving slowly at the mountain, preparing to protect the children from Bull.

"I won't let you live!"

Bull shouted as he stared at Rex.

"You won't live to see tomorrow!"

Bull walks back, and a giant boulder rolls down the mountain in his place. Rex, Yu and Chomper runs out of the way, barely avoiding it. The clan starts hissing and growling at Bull, but Rex flies up the mountain. Just in time to see Bull running off.

"Come back here you coward!"

Rex shouts.

Rex begins chasing Bull.

"Rex, no!"

Yu shouts.

=BACK TO LITTLEFOOT=

"Yes!"
Littlefoot shouts in delight.

He did it; he chipped away enough to escape. With the boost of another boulder, he got out of the cave. Littlefoot giggled happily to feel the wind blowing against his skin, the bright circle shining warmly on him, freedom couldn't be any better than this.

Getting to the ground wasn't difficult; he just slid down the cave, landing on the ground.

"I made it."

Littlefoot whispered to himself.

Even thought he was free, he still has to find Rex and his friends. Luckily for him, he recognizes where he is, west lays the Great Valley, south lays the big water, north lays Three Horn peak, and east lays the smoky mountains.

Littlefoot took a few steps north; it didn't take long to find his friends' tracks. Littlefoot smiled, then he starts running, following the tracks.

Close to the cave, but still far, Bull runs. Far behind, Rex continues in hot pursuit. Bull runs zigzags on some trees; Rex gives his wings a great use and uses them as a parachute, allowing him to kick-jump from tree to tree.

'He's fast, but there's no way I'm letting him get away.'

Rex thought to himself.

Bull smiles as he continues running through the forest.

'I finally have him, once I lure him inside the cave, there's no escape.'

Bull thought to himself.

Bull knows a secret entrance to the cave; he rounds behind the cave, entering into a crack hidden by some bushes.

Rex lost sight of him, but noticed the boulder sealing the cave's entrance.

"How am I going to move this?"

Rex thought aloud.

He tried his luck; he pushes the boulder, but no budge. Rex continues, but not even a slight move.

"It's heavy."

Inside the cave, Bull proceeds with an evil chuckle, but then gasps to see the cave empty. Bull growls in anger, he looks at the crack to see it wide open.

"The little monster…"

Bull thought aloud.

Rex continues pushing the boulder.

"Ugh…I can't…"

Rex said in defeat.

"Don't give up!"
A voice cried.

Rex recognized that voice, and it isn't Yu or Chomper's. Rex continued looking at the boulder in shock as small and familiar dinosaurs joined in pushing the boulder.

"C'mon Rex, together we can do it!"

A female voice cried.

Rex didn't look at his helpers, he knows who they are. Rex nods and continues pushing the boulder. The boulder makes some cracking noises as it slowly gets rolled over…

TO BE CONTINUE…

---------------------------------------------

"Here is the next phase."

"Littlefoot is on the run, and Bull is hot in the chase. Rex rendezvous with the sharp-teeth clan, along with some old friends. With a quick truce, the sharp-teeth clan, Rex and the others combines forces to stop Bull and save Littlefoot."
