BATTLE
GAME OF CHANCE
"Battle…"
---------------------------------------------
Littlefoot was running as fast as he could back to the cave, unaware of a sharp-teeth clan following him a safe distance. He finally reached the cave, but still unaware of the blood-thirsty tribe following him.
"Guys!"
Littlefoot cried as he entered the cave.
"Rex's in trouble!"
"Good!"
Cera shouted back.
"It can kill him!"
"But…"
Littlefoot gargled.
"Cera is right Littlefoot, how can we trust Rex again?"
Ducky expressed.
"I…uh…"
Littlefoot was speechless.
'This can't be happening…'
Yu thought to himself.
'Rex wouldn't do this…would he?'
"C'mon guys!"
Littlefoot cried.
"Rex didn't do it!"
"Oh yea?"
Cera asked.
"Then who else looks like Rex?"
Littlefoot saw who did it, the dinosaur who
resembles Rex. But he knows not his name.
"I know who did it, but I don't know his name…"
"His name is Kumo."
A voice said from behind the gang.
"But he's the least of your problems."
Littlefoot looked at Yu's sharp-teeth clan; they were glaring and growling at something, then he looked at his friends to see them petrified in fear. Littlefoot gulped and turned around; Bull's sharp-teeth clan was there to greet them.
=BACK AT REX AND KUMO=
Rex flew and landed behind a tree, his back resting on the tree, trying to peek without being noticed by Kumo. But his efforts were in vain, Kumo jumped out from a tree branch. Rex looked up and gasped when he saw Kumo descending.
"Why do you flee?"
Kumo asked.
"Are you afraid?"
Rex jumped out of the way and flew away to another tree, trying his best to avoid a fight. Though, the start of his encounter with Kumo screamed 'fight', he doesn't want to start a fight again, not after Zill, the longneck and the duckbill.
Rex landed on an open plain, not a good choice to hide.
"Running will get you nowhere."
Kumo's voice echoed through the plain.
Rex turned around and was greeted with a tail slam to his side, sending him to the ground.
Rex sat up and shook his head.
"Ow, that hurts!"
Kumo just chuckled.
"What do you expect?"
Again came a chuckle.
"You going to run away or are you going to face your fears?"
Rex was scared at first, but then his eyes got set on fire, and a determined look got drawn on his face, this is something he can't run away.
"Alright, no more running away."
Rex said as he got up.
Kumo did nothing but grin…
=BACK AT THE CAVE=
War practically broke loose when Bull's clan started fighting with Yu's clan. The children ran to the back of the cave, where another opening leads them outside, which will be used if things get out of hand.
Yu wanted to stay behind and help his clan of sharp-teeth in the battle, but Littlefoot and the others didn't allow him.
"Please guys."
Yu plead.
"I have to help them!"
"No Yu, you might get hurt."
Littlefoot said as he helped to hold Yu back.
"But…"
"Don't worry Yu."
Cera said.
"I'm sure they can take care of themselves."
Bull didn't have anyone to fight with; he was wide open to attack the Littlefoot and the others. He managed to spot the kids trying to escape, but he ran ahead of them and blocked their path.
"Oh no!"
Ducky cried.
"Where do you kids think you're going?"
Bull asked them mockingly.
"Getting out of here."
Cera counters.
"Now, get out of our way!"
Cera lowered her head and swiped the ground with her feet threateningly. Bull caught a glimpse of a fully healed but noticeable wound on Cera's back.
"Ah, I see Kumo had dealt with you."
Bull said.
"But he didn't kill you."
"Actually, I can't be killed that easy."
Cera replied.
"Then we have to fix that now won't we?"
Bull said with a grin.
Cera charged at Bull.
"Cera, no!"
Littlefoot cried.
"Me can't look."
Petrie said as he landed on Spike and closed his eyes along with Ducky.
Cera immediately stopped inches away from Bull, which confused the velociraptor. But from behind Cera, Chomper and Yu jumped out and tackled Bull, making him fall on his back.
Cera giggled.
"Now that's what I call a sharp-teeth ambush!"
Littlefoot's jaw dropped, he never expected something like that. He looked at Petrie, Ducky and Spike, who were cheering for their action.
"But…how did…"
Littlefoot tried to ask.
"Well…"
Cera turned to Littlefoot with a grin.
"I talked with Chomper and Yu and planned a little trick if we ever got in a
situation like this."
'Show-off.'
Littlefoot thought to himself.
"Ummm…guys?"
Yu said in a scared tone.
Everyone turned to see Bull getting up, but he was knocked down again by Yu's father.
"Dad!"
Yu cried.
Yu's father cried to Yu something in sharp-tooth language.
"Uh-oh."
Yu reacted when his father finished.
"Translations?!"
Littlefoot requested.
"He said the sharp-teeth we're fighting just called for
reinforcements."
Yu translated his father's dialogue.
"He said for us to run, now!"
Littlefoot and the others ran out of the cave, following Yu's dad's orders, but Yu stopped and turned to face his father.
"Come back alive…"
Yu said to his father in sharp-teeth language.
"I don't want to lose you just like I lost mother…"
With that, Yu ran to catch up with his friends.
=BACK AT REX AND KUMO=
Rex jumped to a tree branch, trying to get some distance to Kumo. But it was in vain, Kumo appeared behind Rex. Rex turned and before he could react, Kumo tail slammed Rex, throwing him off the tree branch, he screamed as he fell to the ground.
Kumo leaned up to see Rex's landing on the hard ground, but he got caught by surprise to see Rex flying back up at high speed. Rex was fast enough to head-but Kumo under his jaw, sending him tumbling back, pushing him off the branch.
"C'mon you, I know you're bluffing!"
Rex cried as he looked down on the plain of long grass.
But Kumo didn't reply. Rex got worried maybe he killed him, so he flew down to the ground to see if he could find him, but it was a bad move. Behind Rex, Kumo slowly rose to his feet without Rex noticing, and then raised his claws in the air. Rex noticed a bigger shadow under him, he turned to see Kumo, but it was too late to dodge Kumo's attack. He slashed Rex across the chest.
Rex screamed in pain as he almost toppled over and took a few steps back, brightly colored blood trailing along the flood from the gash on his chest. To lighten the bleeding, Rex covered his wound on his chest with his hand. Rex kept glaring at Kumo, who does nothing but smile.
=BACK AT LITTLEFOOT AND THE OTHERS=
"Hurry!"
Littlefoot cried.
"They're gaining!"
Littlefoot, Yu, Chomper, Cera, Spike, Ducky and Petrie were running from three sharp-teeth who managed to get through Yu's clan. And they're gaining, things are looking grim…
"Spike is getting tired, what are we going to do?"
Ducky cried to Littlefoot.
"I don't like this, no no no."
"We have to find a way to stop them."
Chomper declared.
"What can we do?"
Yu asks.
Cera saw a mountain up ahead.
"I got and idea, follow me."
Cera ran ahead and everyone followed her, including the sharp-teeth.
"Me hope Cera knows what she's doing."
Petrie told Littlefoot.
"I hope so too…"
Littlefoot replied.
=BACK AT REX AND KUMO=
On a rocky area, Kumo walked around. Rex hid from Kumo until he found a way to stop him.
"Hiding won't save you!"
Kumo cried.
"It's best for you to come out."
Kumo stopped in front of a spire. Behind the spire, Rex is hiding. His wound is still bleeding, it could really affect his performance, he has to use stealth to turn the tables to his favor. Rex picked up a pebble and threw it to a ditch close of him, the sound of the pebble made Kumo investigate it.
'Perfect.'
Rex thought to himself.
Rex got out of his hiding place, but only to bump into Kumo behind another spire.
"How did you…?"
Rex tried to ask.
"That wasn't the only trick I fell before."
Kumo cut him short with the answer.
Rex was in pain of his wound, but he had to do something. He flexed his claws and tried to slash Kumo, but he easily dodged it by stepping aside. Rex turned his head to Kumo and was greeted by a head-but to the head, followed by a tail-slam to his side.
'Too easy.'
Kumo thought to himself.
Rex grunted with each hit he received, his fore-head started to bleed…
=BACK AT LITTLEFOOT AND THE OTHERS=
"Do just like I told ya."
Cera confidently said.
"I hope it works…"
Yu said.
The gang stood in front of a mountain wall, facing the three sharp-teeth running at them.
"Ready?"
Cera asked.
The sharp-teeth were really close to the children. They jumped to land on them.
"NOW!"
Cera shouted.
The children ran out of the way, making the three sharp-teeth crash into the mountain wall, their crash's force to the mountain wall have rendered the sharp-teeth unconscious.
"Wow, can't believe it worked."
Chomper expressed.
"Just another reason to trust me."
Cera said with a grin.
"We can celebrate later."
Littlefoot said.
"We have to find Rex."
Cera flinched when she heard that.
"But…why?"
Littlefoot looked at Cera blankly.
"He's our friend, we have to help him."
"But…he tried to kill me."
Cera expressed as she looked at Littlefoot.
Littlefoot walked closer to Cera, who looked like she's
scared stiff.
"Cera…I know how you feel, but Rex wasn't the one who hurt you."
Cera shook her head.
"I wish it was true Littlefoot…I really do."
Littlefoot glared at Cera, who lowered her head…
=BACK AT REX AND KUMO=
Kumo staggered back, he has been wounded on the left side of his face by Rex, but Kumo is in better condition then how Rex is. Rex's fore-head was bleeding, bright-colored blood trickled down his chest, his feet sore from running, it seems like Kumo is winning the battle.
"You really aren't a sharp-tooth like me…"
Kumo said as blood started to trail down his head.
"What are you anyway?"
"At first I thought I was a leaf-eater…"
Rex said with his head bowed down.
"But then…"
Rex then raised his head.
"I found out I'm a meat-eater…I just don't know which kind."
"Too bad you won't find out."
Kumo announced.
"Because you'll be dead by then…Then I shall taste the flesh of your friends"
Rex perked up when he heard that.
"I'm not going to let you do that."
Rex said, then waved his finger at Kumo.
"That'll be breaking the promise of friendship."
"Guess I'm going to have to fix that."
Kumo said.
Kumo started to run at Rex, Rex did the same. Rex made an attempt to slash at Kumo's leg, to prevent him from walking, but it was in vain. Kumo saw the attempt and jumped to avoid it. Rex stopped and looked up; Kumo twirled and sent his tail unto Rex, slamming on his neck hard.
Rex felt the pain coming from his neck; he felt something in his neck going wrong, a drop of blood dripped out of his mouth.
Kumo grinned, he got Rex good. He looked at Rex's face; it expressed an insane pain covering his body.
What it seemed like forever for Rex, he felt to the ground on his belly. His body lied on the ground, it looked lifeless. Kumo walked to the body, nothing takes place. He looked at Rex's face, nothing was expressed, a lifeless face.
Kumo grinned, another deed done. He turned his back, he didn't wanted to feast yet, he wants his whole clan to dine on this one, he had in mind another target…Littlefoot and the others.
