Chapter 6: Panic in the cave
So far, neither Littlefoot, Ruby, or Archie managed to get any of the rocks to move. They did get some of them to move. But it still wasn't enough.
"It's no use." Said Littlefoot "We'll never be able to dig through all of this."
Just then,
"Littlefoot! Ruby!"
"Archie. It's our friends." Said Ruby.
"Hurry. Littlefoot and Ruby are on the other side of this wall. They might be hurt." Ali said as she lead the others to the wall.
"Me get them out." Petrie said as he tried to lift up one of the rocks. Only for him to fall back down. "Heavy."
Ali and Ducky on the other hand, were starting with the smaller rocks. Ali used her tail to swing them away while Ducky picked up the rocks and tosed them away.
Spike was also using his tail to move the rocks off the wall. Chomper was pushing a couple rock off the walls. But as he pushed one of them off, more rocks began to fall.
"Oops! Whoa!" He shouted as he and Spike tumbled down with them.
Ducky, Petrie, and Ali quickly took note and ran for cover as Spike and Chomper landed on the ground.
"Sounds like a Rockslide." Littlefoot said as he heard the sounds of sliding rocks.
"Don't worry kid." Archie said to him. Until, "I take that back. Worry."
Upon hearing that, Littlefoot and Ruby turned to where Archie was looking. Dil and Ichy had found them and were making their way over to them.
"Straight ahead until dinner Dil." Ichy said to her.
"Run!" Littlefoot and Ruby shouted as they ran away.
"Hide!" Archie shouted as he hid inside his shell.
Littlefoot and Ruby then stopped running when they realized that Archie was gone."
"Archie? Archie where are you?" Littlefoot called to him.
"I can't leave the children out there alone." Archie said as he came out of hiding and walked over to them. "Children."
"Archie. We have to hide." Said Ruby.
The trio quickly ran away as Dil tried to bight them but missed. And then Archie lead the kids to a small craves.
"In here kids." He said as Littlefoot and Ruby walked inside.
"But what about you?" Littlefoot asked.
"Don't worry." Archie said as he hid himself in a nearby pond. "Now you see me. Now you don't."
Unfortently, Ichy saw them going into hiding. He knew where they were. But not Dil sense she was just now walking over.
"Where'd they go Ichy?" She asked.
"Over there in that craves." Ichy answered as he showed Dil the craves.
Littlefoot and Ruby held their backs to the wall as Dil tried to get them. But the craves was too small for her. But that didn't stop her. Now she turned around and started winging her tail on the craves to smash it open.
"Yeah. That's using your tail." Said Ichy. Until Dil almost hit him as he moved out of the way of her tail. "Hey! Watch it!"
And then, before he knew it, the stone teeth were now falling as he kept dodging.
"Yow! You! Look out!"
After dodging five more of them, Ichy looked at the cealing. They were all gone. Ichy then leaned his back on one of the fallen stone teeth as he sighed in releath. Until another fell on its side and on top of him.
"I hate it when that happens."
On the other side of the wall, the others felt the rumbling of the smashing craves.
"Oh no." Said Ali. "It feels like another earthshake."
"And it mad." Petrie said as he heard Dil's growing.
"Very very mad." Said Ducky.
"Now what do we do? Littlefoot and Ruby needs us." Said Chomper.
"Then what are you guys standing around here for?"
Turning to the entrince, the five were in for a surprise.
"Cera."
That's right. Cera had found her way to the cave and was right behind them.
"Are we gonna save Littlefoot and Ruby or just stand here?" She asked.
Cera then charged at the wall at full speed and knocked down some of the rocks. Just as the others got back moving them away.
"Can I help Cera?" Ali asked.
"No!" Cera hissed at her. "You stay out of my way!"
SMASH!
That last swing from Dil's tail knocked craves down. Exposing Littlefoot and Ruby to the opening.
"I know they're here somewhere." Dil said as she looked around.
After arjusting her eyes, she saw Littlefoot leaning on the floor with his paws on his head and Ruby on his side with her arms on his back.
"I see them Ichy!' She shouted.
"Well done Dil." Ichy said as he flew on top of her head. "Now sick them and remember to leave me some."
"Huh?" Littlefoot and Ruby exclaimed. They were talking in Leaf-eater. How was that possible?
"Back off Belly-dragger and Sharp-beak!" Archie shouted as he came out of hiding. "The children are snacks! I'm a meal!"
"Oh yeah? Well I call you the first course." Said Ichy. "Tenderize them Dil!"
Littlefoot and Ruby leaped onto Archie's shell as they tried to make a brake for it. Only for Dil to swing her tail on them and knock them away. As they landed, they tried to get away. But Dil and Ichy were faster than they were. Until,
CRASH!
Cera came busting through the blocked up wall and caused the rocks to fall onto the bad biters and knocked them out cold. Just as Littlefoot and Ruby saw her with the others.
"Cera. Ducky. Petrie. Spike. Chomper." They shouted as they ran to the others.
"How did you know where to find us?" Littlefoot asked.
"Ali came and got us." Said Chomper.
"Thanks Ali." Said Ruby. "We were afraid you were hurt. And if you were hurt, it ment something happened to you."
After she said that, Ali turned to the others who were looking at her. Especially Cera who was still mad at her.
"Hello." Archie said as he walked over. "Who's this little Sharptooth?"
"I'm a friendly Sharptooth." Chomper explained. "Just like all the others back in The Great Valley."
"The Great Valley?" Archie asked. "I've heard of that place. But we can talk about it later. We gotta get moving before that Big-mouthed Belly-dragger and her Sharp-beak friend wake up."
With that said, the nine began to leave through the hole Cera made to find a safer place in the cave.
Authors note:
I must say that I'm sorry for the long wait. I've been really bissy in the real world lately and I had to take a brake from writing fanfiction for a while. But I'm back. And I hope to get this and at least some of the next stories done before the end of the year.
