A/N: The heroes finally make it to their new home. And even though the League knows they can't go back until Mordred comes after them again, they're more than content to staying with their friends.

Chapter Eleven: The Final Leg of the Journey

The twelve friends had made a fire to keep themselves warm through the night. The dinosaur children were amazed by Clark's heat vision as it came from his eyes. Littlefoot then asked, "So where do we go now?"

"What do you mean?" Clark said as he sat down next to the Longneck. Littlefoot then said, "I mean we've passed all the places that my mother told me."

"The rock that looks like a Longneck and the mountains that burned." Diana recalled. Cera then put in, "So which way do go?"

"Maybe we should keep following the sun." Jonn suggested. The five dinosaur children looked to him and he said, "It's what we call the Bright Circle."

"Oh." All four said, and Spike nodded. John then said, "We can figure it out in the morning."

With no better ideas, they all laid down and went to sleep while feeling the warmth of the fire. They all formed a pile as best as they could with Littlefoot, Cera and Spike on the middle. The seven heroes remained on the outside with Ducky and Petrie on Littlefoot's back. Each one had smiles on their faces as they could both finally relax and for what they all hope will come.

The sun rose the next morning and shone through the cave. It rays woke everyone up and they all groaned as they rose to their feet. Diana looked to Shayera as the Thanagarian moved over to the cave entrance. Quietly joining her, the Amazon noticed that she was looking down to the pool where Sharptooth had drowned. Looking back to her friend she asked, "Something on your mind?"

"To be honest." Shayera said as she hugged herself, "This isn't really how I pictured our reunion going."

This surprised Diana and she said, "Yeah, me either."

Guilt crept into Diana's heart as she thought about all that she had said to Shayera the day before. Clutching her arm she said, "Listen…" Shayera looked to her as Diana said, "About what I said yesterday… I'm sorry for saying."

"It's okay." Shayera said to put it off. But Diana shook her head, "No, it's not okay. I've been holding onto bitter feeling towards you since what happened." Turning fully to her friend she said, "And now I at least want to try and make things right between us."

She held out her hand as an offering of friendship. Shayera looked down to it and asked, "You sure you're ready for this?"

"I am." Diana said with a smile. Shayera smiled back and took her hand. Diana then asked, "So, are we good?"

"Like oil and vinegar." Shayera shrugged, "We go together, but we don't mix."

"Works for me." Diana said as they stood at the entrance. Cera had heard their exchange and started thinking about yesterday as well. Walking over to Littlefoot she said, "Littlefoot?"

The Longneck turned to her and said, "Hmm?"

"This isn't going to be easy for me to say but…" She glanced away as she said, "Sorry."

Littlefoot instantly knew what she was talking about and he said, "It'll be okay, Cera."

She smiled to this before Littlefoot got an odd feeling. He walked down one of the tunnels and came out to a ledge that overlooked the pond and everything around the mountain. As he looked about, he didn't notice the clouds taking a certain shape but did hear something on the wind, "Littlefoot."

He looked up when he heard a familiar voice call out, "Littlefoot."

"Mother!" He cried out when he felt that it was her. He saw and felt as if the cloud was looking directly at him. She whispered his name again and he felt his heartache when he heard her voice. He then began to feel as if he were letting her down as they hadn't reached the Great Valley. Sitting on the ledge he told her, "Mother?" He felt really upset as he said, "I tried to do what you told me, but it's just too hard." He shook his head as if to think, "I'll never find the Great Valley."

"Of course you will." Clark said from behind. He came up next to Littlefoot and said, "But you've just got to keep hope in your heart."

Littlefoot smiled in appreciation to this, but it didn't make him feel much better. They looked up to see the cloud starting to drift away. Fearing of being alone, Littlefoot called after it, "Mother." The cloud continued to drift and he shouted, "Mother! Don't go, Mother! Don't go!"

When it didn't show signs of stopping, Littlefoot quickly turned tail and ran back through the mountain. The others noticed this as Ducky and Wally shout, "Littlefoot! Where you going?"

Littlefoot continued running as he made to the end of the slope and turned to follow the cloud. Clark made sure to stay close as he flew behind the Longneck. They followed the cloud to where it entered the cavern of another rock structure on another mountain. As it rounded a corner, Littlefoot jumped up onto the wall before turning to the opening on the other side. Both he and Clark came to a stop when they came to the outside. They looked up to see the cloud take the form of a giant Longneck. Around where the heart would be, a hole formed and allowed sun light to come down on them. Littlefoot and Clark watched as the sun light expanded from them and soon revealed that they were standing in the midst of a large and beautiful valley. Their jaws dropped at the sight of it as Littlefoot said, "The Great Valley."

The sight of it was something to really behold as they could for miles and miles trees, water and the sheer beauty of the Great Valley. Looking back Littlefoot shouted, "Bruce, Cera, Diana, Ducky, John, Jonn, Shayera, Spike, Petrie, Wally, over here! Come quick!"

"It's here!" Clark shouted as well. The rest of them came following Littlefoot and Clark's trial and ran down the tunnel. They all stopped next to the two and Ducky shouted in amazement, "Littlefoot, Clark, you found it! Yep, yep, yep."

"We did it! We did it together!" Littlefoot happily corrected. Clark was in agreement as he said, "We all made it here together."

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Wally shouted. They all ran down the hill and most of them ran off to find their families. Shayera stuck with Cera as they headed off into one direction, Jonn went with Petrie through the skies and Wally stuck with Ducky and Spike. The three slid across the water as they searched for Ducky's family.

Narrator: The Great Valley was all they had dreamt it would be…

The three soon saw a family of larger Big Mouth Swimmers and Ducky instantly recognized them. Spike ran up to them and Ducky jumped down to be greeted by her siblings. Her siblings looked happy about Spike as Ducky said, "This is our new brother Spike."

Spike had a goofy grin as Ducky and her siblings played around him. She looked over to Wally as he walked over on the land and said, "And that's our good friend, Wally."

Wally smiled in appreciation to that before jumping in to play with them. Ducky's parents came closer and nuzzled the Spiketail as they began to enjoy their new life together.

Narrator: A land of green, of leaves, and life. There were waterfalls, grassy meadows, enough tree stars to feast on forever…

Jonn and Petrie came to a grove of trees where Petrie spotted his mother and their siblings. She ran out on a limb to meet him and he happily shouted, "Mama, I a flier!"

Petrie's siblings all cheered for their brother as their mother placed him on her shoulders. Petrie showed off by flapping his wings really hard and blew the other smaller fliers back. They came back as Petrie then looked to Jonn and said, "This my friend, Jonn Jonz."

Jonn smiled to the family as he floated next to the tree limb. Petrie dropped from his mother's shoulders and said, "He help me and my friends make to Great Valley."

Elsewhere in the valley, Cera ran through a field with Shayera flying over her. She could see a family of Threehorns grazing on a hill. They both smiled when they saw Cera's father and Cera shouted, "Daddy!"

"Cera?" He called out as she plowed through a few flowers. She ran up to him and stopped just a few inches from him. Father and daughter nuzzled each other as Shayera landed behind them. Daddy Tops looked behind Cera and said, "Thank you, for looking after my daughter."

"Hmm." Shayera said with a smile. Cera came over to her and said, "I wouldn't have made it far without Shayera, one of my closest friends."

Shayera smiled to her kind words as they both then looked to the horizon.

Littlefoot, Bruce, Clark, Diana and John all searched for Littlefoot's grandparents as they looked to the hills close to the Threehorns. Littlefoot's Grandfather looked down to them and said, "I thank you all for bringing our grandson back to us."

"It was no trouble really." Clark said with a grin. Diana then said, "I'm sorry we couldn't do more."

"It's quite all right." Littlefoot's Grandfather said, knowing full well what she was talking about. He then said, "She would be most happy and proud that you worked together to make it here."

"And I'm happy that you all stuck by our sides." Littlefoot added. Then with a gesture of his head he said, "Come on! Let's go find the others and play."

"Play?" Bruce asked as he looked to all of them. John then asked, "Why not? We've all had a few rough days, we could use a little down time."

"Plus, it might give us a chance at being kids again." Clark added. Bruce, knowing that he hadn't truly been a kid for a long time, smiled at the thought. The five friends raced off to find the others.

Narrator: And Littlefoot found his grandmother and grandfather at last. The same loving faces he'd looked into on the day of his birth. And with the love of his new friends, he would never feel alone again.

They ran over hills as they were soon joined by their friends. Cera came up beside him and shouted, "Guys! Come on. I'll race you."

Narrator: And they all stood beside each other in the valley… friends from across worlds, and they would always remember their adventures to and from the valley.

None of them objected as they all started racing across the valley. When they reached the top of a hill and met at the top. Littlefoot, Cera and Spike were at the middle of the embrace, while the seven heroes formed the outside. Littlefoot lifted both the hugging Petrie and Ducky onto his head and lifted them high. All seven friends smiled as one adventure was over, but there were still plenty to come later.
