Chapter 2: The Mysterious Island

The dino kids walked on their way to a new island. There was a land bridge that made a path. They walked for some time. They were starting to get tired because of how far the island was.

"It's a lot farther away than it looks" panted Littlefoot.

"This is like waiting for your hatch day. It never seems to get any closer" complained Cera.

The kids kept walking closer to the island. They failed to notice that Metal Sonic was watching them from above. Eggman spied on the kids through Metal Sonic's vision. The evil genius grinned coldly.

"I'm so hungry my tummy is rumbling" said Ducky. The kids felt a little rumbling in the water.

"Ooh! Petrie hear it" said Petrie. The little Flyer mistook the rumbling for Ducky.

Ducky was confused. "That is not my tummy."

The rumbling grew stronger. The kids stopped walking when they felt the rumbling. The waters started moving in a fast pace.

"That is a… earthshake!" exclaimed Ducky. The kids screamed in fear. Parts of the land bridge started to break apart. The earthquake created a tidal wave that was coming towards them. The kids screamed again and took off running. Metal Sonic saw the big wave and flew high up to avoid it. The kids kept running as fast as they could. They finally made it to the island, but they had to climb a rocky hill. Littlefoot, Cera, and Ducky made it over the hill but Spike and Petrie were at the middle of the hill. Spike was terrified when he saw how close the water wave was. Littlefoot then shouted to Spike to grab his tail. Spike grabbed Littlefoot's tail with his mouth. Littlefoot shouted in pain but he pulled Spike and Petrie over the hill onto land. The big wave hit the hill and splashed. The water now flowed in a calm way. The kids were now safe.

Meanwhile…

Sonic made it to the ocean. He saw that the kids' tracks ended near the water. Sonic was a little confused. He knew that the kids would not swim in the ocean to find more plant food. He searched around the shore but he couldn't find them. Sonic scratched his head while thinking.

"Where could they have gone to?" thought Sonic. The Blue Runner searched some more. He then found some rocks that led to the land bridge but the bridge was gone. Sonic's eyes followed past the water and to the island. Sonic raised an eyebrow.

"They must have gone there. To that island. But how did they…" thought Sonic. The blue hedgehog walked in the water near the rocks and put his head under water. He saw parts of rocks that once made the land bridge. His eyes followed the path of rocks. He got his head out of the water. He shook his head and coughed a little. He now knew that there once was a bridge there but not anymore.

"So there was a bridge made of rocks that led to the island. But how was it destroyed?" thought Sonic.

Sonic then went wide-eyed. "An earthquake! It must have created a tidal wave and wiped out the bridge! I hope that they made it safely" thought Sonic. The Blue Runner then thought that the dino kids must have made it because he knows that the kids are brave. But now he knows that he must protect them before another terrible thing happens or Eggman attacks. So Sonic got into a racing stance and zoomed on the water with great speed towards the island.

Back with the kids…

The dino kids were happy to find more plant food on the island but the plant life was different and not like any plants they've ever seen or eaten. It smelled kind of funny too. However, Spike didn't seem to care. Spike was already eating some plants because he was so hungry. The others then believed that the plants were safe to eat because Spike liked the plant food. They tasted some of the plants and liked them. Littlefoot then said that their parents will be happy to find the plant life when the parents find them.

Cera then looked at the ocean. She spat out her plant food and gasped. "Oh, no!" said Cera.

The others walked towards Cera to see what's wrong. The others also gasped.

"The land path. It's… gone" said Littlefoot. The tidal wave had wiped out the land bridge. They were now stuck on the island.

Cera frowned at Littlefoot. "What were you saying about our folks finding us?" said Cera.

Back with the parents…

The dino parents have now made it to the ocean. They followed their children's tracks to the shore. They also saw Sonic's tracks. They looked around but could not find Sonic or their children. They wondered how Sonic was going to find the kids because the tracks stopped by the water's edge. Topps got mad at Grandpa Longneck.

"This is all your fault Longneck! My daughter is gone and I blame that boy of yours!" said Topps.

"Littlefoot? Why?" asked Grandpa Longneck.

"Well… uh because I have to blame somebody don't I?" said Topps.

Grandma Longneck then told the other parents that they must not give up and that they must keep looking.

"Besides, Sonic is also looking for them and he told us that he would protect them" said Grandma Longneck. The other parents knew that Grandma Longneck was right. So they had to keep searching. They started walking around the shore. The kids called out to their parents but their parents couldn't hear them. Littlefoot then suggested that Petrie could fly over to the parents to tell them where they are. But Petrie was too afraid of the big water. Littlefoot then said that Ducky could swim over, but Ducky was also too afraid. Ducky then said that the Big Water is very deep and dark. Petrie then added that the ocean is also very dangerous. The others started to agree with Ducky and Petrie. They were worried at what might lurk beneath the surface.

"Looks like we're all sorta scared of the Big Water" stated Cera. Littlefoot then said if one of them must cross the water, then all of them should. But Littlefoot didn't know how they could cross the Big Water.

Meanwhile, the kids didn't notice that Sonic was just about to reach the island. Sonic then saw the kids on the cliff of the island. He smiled and was happy to know that they were okay. But then suddenly, a laser almost hit Sonic. Sonic noticed the splash of water where the laser hit. He looked behind himself and saw Metal Sonic. Sonic glared at his evil copy. Sonic started to run to the left of the island and Metal Sonic followed. The blue robot kept firing lasers from its palms at Sonic. Sonic dodged left then right of the laser shots. Sonic and Metal Sonic went around the island. Sonic knew that he would have to knock out Metal Sonic before he can get to the kids.

Cera then told the others that she has an idea to cross the sea. She told them that they should use a log like a boat to get across. They all found a big log and started to push it towards the sea. Littlefoot hoped that the log will float. They grunted as they kept pushing the heavy log. They finally pushed the log over the edge and into the water. At first, the log went underwater but then it floated back to the top.

The kids then used the log to cross back to their parents. Littlefoot and Spike used their tails to propel the log through the water. Cera, however, was suffering from seasickness. Petrie sat on top of a small branch on the log. He wanted to stay away from the sea. Littlefoot wondered when Sonic was coming back again. He believed that if Sonic was with them now, they would've crossed over to the other side in no time. Ducky didn't notice that a small sharptoothed fish was trying to get her but she managed to be careful by lowering her head. Spike then started to munch on some of the small leaves on the log. He was starting to rock the log in an unsafe way. The kids started to feel uneasy. Petrie got knocked into the water. He went wide-eyed when he saw a big sharptoothed fish coming their way. Petrie jumped out of the water and screamed. He landed on Cera's horn.

Cera frowned at Petrie. "What's your problem?" said Cera.

"S-Sharptooth… that swims!" exclaimed Petrie.

"Are you crazy?" said Cera. But suddenly, Cera was knocked off the log and into the water. Littlefoot gasped. Cera spit out some water while trying to stay afloat. But then something bumped into her. She then saw that she was on the back of a Cretoxyrhina (Prehistoric Shark). Or as they call it…

"Swimming Sharptooth!" Cera yelled in fear. The mean shark bared its teeth at Cera and shook Cera off its back. Cera swam as fast as she could back to the log. Littlefoot managed to pull Cera back onto the log before the mean shark could bite her. The shark then hit the log with its tail, spinning the kids around. The kids then started paddling through the water with their feet and tails away from the mean shark. But the big fish followed quickly behind. It got close and bit off one end of the log. The kids screamed in fear. They paddled through the water as fast as they could. They panted heavily. The shark got close enough again. But before it could bite again, it suddenly stopped. It started to swim away from the kids. The kids stopped paddling when they saw the shark swim away. They all sighed with relief.

"I think we're safe now" said Littlefoot.

"But why did it swim away?" said Cera. Suddenly, all the kids heard a cackle from high up. They all looked toward the sky and went wide-eyed.

"THAT WHY!" Petrie yelled and pointed at none other than… Dr. Eggman! All the kids gasped. The evil genius was driving his hover vehicle.

"Well, well, well. It looks like some dino children have wandered too far from home. You should know that it is not safe to be separated from your families" Eggman said with a dark grin.

All the kids shook with fear. But Cera stood up and glared at Eggman.

"What do you want, Egg Head!" yelled Cera.

Eggman grinned wickedly. "Simple really. To see you kids destroyed."

The kids gasped and shook again. The kids looked around for Sonic. They knew since Eggman was here, so was Sonic.

"Sonic, help!" yelled Littlefoot.

"SONIC!" yelled the other kids. The kids looked around some more but they saw no sign of Sonic. Eggman laughed evilly again.

"Sorry children, but I'm afraid that Sonic won't be able to save you this time" said Eggman.

The kids shook with great fear. Eggman was about to unleash a new robo dino. The evil genius then pushed a button. The water started bubbling and churning. The kids saw something big coming out of the water. It was the Hydrotherosaur, now under Eggman's control. It had red robotic eyes and its body had metal armor. It roared at the kids. The kids screamed in fear.

"Meet my new dino soldier that swims. My Egg Hydrosaur" said Eggman. The evil genius cackled again.

"SONIC WHERE ARE YOU!?" yelled Littlefoot.

Meanwhile, Sonic still fought with Metal Sonic. Sonic then dashed back to the front of the island. He went wide-eyed when he saw the Hydrosaur and he heard Littlefoot's cry. Sonic then glared back at Metal Sonic. The blue robot aimed its palms at Sonic, ready to fire more lasers. Sonic knew he would have to stop Metal Sonic and save his dino friends before it's too late.
