Chapter 10: Past remembered

Richard and Littlefoot got done with their training for the day, they had did so good with dodging the stones, even with their eyes close, Doc seemed impressed, even with Richard he had never seen a Fast-biter dodge a stone from him before, Doc now was wondering how Richard has been so focus the whole time, so he decided to ask Richard some questions, Richard also had some questions of his own to investigate, why Sharptooth is trying to do an attempt genocide on all of the Longnecks, disregarding Doc himself, as Richard sat down along with Littlefoot, Doc then ask Richard, " Hey Richard, how did you learn how to avoid the stones that quick?"

Richard explains, " When I joined the CIA, I was sent to other places around world, I went to area's that you don't know, but I went to places called Japan, China, South Korea, Vietnam, Burma, I also went to places like Russia, and Britain, I learned a lot of skills from these countries and also from the CIA, I learned fighting skills of Japanese Judo, Chinese Kung Fu, Korean Tie-koan-do, and many other Asian fighting skills, I learned the Russian and British Sword fighting, I didn't learn how to use firearms, explosives, and gadgets until I went back to my country."

Doc now seems to like Richard even more, as he asks, " How long have you been a CIA agent?"

Richard says to Doc, " I have been a CIA agent for about almost four years."

Littlefoot says, " These places you say, we have never heard of before, some of your fighting skills, none of us has even heard of before either."

Richard adds, " And on top of that, before I became a CIA agent, I was a Colonel for the United States Army, I fought against enemies like the Taliban and many other terrorists networks, In Iraq."

Doc says, " So you have combat experience."

Richard says, " That's right, along with training from the CIA and other parts of the world, now I would like to ask you few questions Doc, disregarding you, ..."

" Why do you seem so angry at Doc, what exactly did he do, to cause your madness and your attempt genocide, disregarding him?" Miller asks Sharptooth.

Sharptooth, Miller, and Chomper had already finished they're food, now Miller is trying to solve a case, Sharptooth looks at Miller and says, " You wanna know?"

Miller and Chomper nod their heads, as Sharptooth asks, " You really wanna know?"

Miller says, " To solve a case, yeah, tell us."

Sharptooth then begins to tell his story, " It was a night much like tonight, over a hundred years ago, that night I have met the love of my life, her name was Razorclaw, I remember we met on a hunt."

It is one hundred years ago, Sharptooth has been stalking a Threehorn across the land for days and it was finally succumbing to fatigue. Just as he was about to take it, she appeared. Being upwind, Sharptooth never even noticed her until the moment she struck. She charged the Threehorn head on and dug her claws in its flesh just before clenching her jaws around its neck. It was dead in seconds.

Soon she gorged herself on it, Sharptooth had approached. It was his hunt, his pray she had just taken. But she was significantly bigger and stronger then he was, as a general rule female carnivores are more powerful then males. She just chased him away. Sharptooth didn't go far. Later that night, he returned. Most of the dead Threehorn was left uneaten, the female sleeping not far away with a full stomach. Sharptooth approached with caution and as quietly as possible began to eat.

It wasn't as quite as he had hoped. In a split second, the female awoke and attacked. She lunged at him, tackling him to the ground. She placed her foot atop his neck, pressing her claws against his throat, as she says, " I thought I chased you off. If you want to live, get away from here."

Normally, this would've been enough to send him away. But he hadn't eaten in over a week and needed the food. Sharptooth summoned as much strength as he could and shoved her away. She staggered, obviously surprised that someone had managed to knock her back. Sharptooth rose to his feet. In retaliation, the two dinosaurs clashed with each other. The ground shook from the battle. For the whole night they fought, Sharptooth clearly at a disadvantage. At daybreak, he lay nearly dead at her feet, gasping for breath. She was not unjuried, her arm was broken in two places, a large gash cut in her leg, and blood from a broken tooth dribbled down her mouth. She panted for air as well.

As Sharptooth lay on the ground, she limped back to the Threehorn carcass. After a second, she returned carrying some meat and dropped it next to Sharptooth, as she says, " Eat." She stepped away and rested on the ground to nurse her wounds.

Sharptooth rose slowly up and closed his jaws over the meat. He ate it all greedily. Feeling a little stronger, he struggled to stand up, as Sharptooth asks, " Why did you do that?"

The female Sharptooth says, " I was impressed by your strength. No other male has ever tried to fight me and come out of it so well." Her tongue slid along the gash in her leg, as she adds, " Perhaps we could work together to hunt and kill better pray, rather than starving ourselves or stealing food."

" I was doing fine until you came along and stole my food from me." Sharptooth retorted.

The female Sharptooth says, " Clearly. Chasing an animal to exhaustion before finally killing it, nearly killing yourself in the process." She got back up, looking down on Sharptooth, before adding, " Clearly the mindset of weakling. Rather than confront it and kill it up front in person."

Sharptooth says, " I do what I have to in order to survive."

The female Sharptooth says, " But survival is reserved for only the strongest."

Sharptooth then says, " If that was the case, then why didn't you kill me just now. I was helpless and dying. And then why did you kill an already weakened dinosaur rather then find your own and fight it to death?"

The female Sharptooth stepped forward and placed her face inches from his, as she says, " I don't need to explain myself to you. I gave you a choice, you can take it or leave it."

Sharptooth snarled as he says, " Very well. I accept."

The female Sharptooth says, " Good. You are my servant now. You shell call me Lady Razorclaw. And you are?"

Sharptooth then says, " My name is Sharptooth."

Back in the present, Miller and Chomper were now smiling, as Miller says, " Oh, I see, Mr. Big bad Sharptooth's background is coming in a little clear little bit, your were very lucky Sharptooth."

Sharptooth couldn't handle but grin, his cheeks turned red with embarrassment, as he says, " Well, it was love on first site, but yeah, soon after that we then became mates."

Chomper then asks, " Did you ever had any hatchlings of your own?"

Sharptooth says, " Yes, I had hatchlings of my own, but..."

Sharptooth's words were stuck in his throat, Miller then saw something in Sharptooth's eyes as Miller says, " Tell us from the beginning. What happened on the day you left Razorclaw by herself?"

Sharptooth then tells more of the story, as Miller got his notebook out and writes down the story as Sharptooth says, " It began like this."

It is now the past, it has been three mouths since Sharptooth and Razorclaw met, Razorclaw pushed the rocks and sticks of her nest around with her snout. Three eggs rested soundly in the nest. Sharptooth gazed at the nest, as he says, " You need nourishment. After just laying those eggs, you're not as strong as you normally are."

Razorclaw says to Sharptooth, " I don't need you to comment on my strength."

" But you are still in no condition to hunt competently." Sharptooth remarked, as he adds, " I'll get some food for you."

" I never asked for your kindness." Razorclaw shot back.

" But I will bring back food for my hatchlings." Sharptooth started walking towards the mountains in the near distance, as he says, " A valley full of herbivores is not far off. I'll be back in less than a day."

As Sharptooth set off, Razorclaw called of to him, " Be careful! Don't get yourself too hurt!"

Sharptooth smiled back and nodded.

Sharptooth trekked to the Great Valley, maneuvering his way though the rock maze of the land. He came to the gap in the great wall and emerged in the valley. A herd of Longnecks looked up at him and were struck with horror. Sharptooth tore a tree out of the ground as he stepped into the valley, growling and snarling.

The Longnecks screamed and started to run, moving as fast as they could. Sharptooth gave chase, storming after them. The ground shook beneath his feet with each thundering step, his claws sinking in the mud. Saliva dripped from his fangs.

As Longnecks ran in fear, a young hatchling Longneck tripped. His leg was caught in a root. The young Longneck struggled, squirming, and tugging, but his leg was trapped firm. " Mama!" He shouted. His voice trembled in desperation as Sharptooth closed in. A female Longneck turned and raced back to her young. She grabbed hold of the baby Longneck in her mouth and pulled him out from under the root, but it was too late. Sharptooth was upon them.

They quivered in fear in his fear in his presence, the shadow of a monster falling over them. Sharptooth opened his jaws as far as he could and was just about to when a familiar voice shouted above the chaos.

" SHARPTOOTH!" A shadow fell over the predator and prey and the ground shook from thundering footsteps.

Back in the present, Richard also had his notebook out and was writing down Doc's side of the story as Littlefoot says, " Oh my, Grandpa told me this, this is the story about you, as the legendary Lone Dinosaur."

Richard then asks, " You had a title, ' the Lone Dinosaur'?"

Doc says, " That's what the valley called me after I fought against Sharptooth."

Richard says, " Keep going with the story, I want to know more."

Doc says still recalling the battle with Sharptooth, " Very well, I show up, and Sharptooth saw me."

Back in the past, in the Great Valley, Sharptooth looked up and saw a Longneck, standing proud silhouetted against the setting sun, as Sharptooth says, " Doc. What are you doing here?"

" Back off, Sharptooth." Doc raised his tail and slammed it back against the ground, shacking the earth, as Doc says, " I'll fight you myself. If you want them, you'll have to go through me."

Sharptooth grunted, as he says, " Fine." He stood opposite Doc, sizing him up. In an instant, Sharptooth charged, teeth bared. Doc stepped back and swung his tail. Sharptooth stopped just as the tail swished past his face.

Doc swung and missed, again and again. Sharptooth roared in aggravation. He charged in for an attack. A great impact slammed against his back and he crashed to the ground. Doc managed to land a blow. Sharptooth bellowed a roar as shots of pain ran through his body.

" Leave, Sharptooth, before I start to fight for real." Doc held his tail at the ready.

Sharptooth struggled to stand back up, his legs shook beneath him. He shook his head to clear his hazy vision and turned to face Doc again, as he says, " I'm not leaving until I've killed something." Sharptooth charged again, teeth bared.

Doc managed to evade the two rows of teeth, but a claw from Sharptooth's hand scraped the side of his face just above his eye. Doc cried out in pain, blood split down his face dripping across the ground. With Doc distracted, Sharptooth spun around and rammed headfirst into the large Longneck. He lost his footing and Doc came crashing to the ground, the earth shook from the impact.

Standing above his fallen friend turned enemy, Sharptooth couldn't help but feel a slight twinge of regret and pity. In his own language, Sharptooth began to say, " My friend, and my worthy opponent, it is sad but probably fate that you had to die by my teeth. I only wish that- AAHH!"

While Sharptooth was giving his eulogy, Doc had wrapped his tail around the predator's leg. With a mighty tug, Doc toppled Sharptooth down. The carnivore fell and crashed headfirst into a jutting rock along side a small canyon. As the dust settled, Doc got back to his feet and stepped over to his fallen former-friend. Sharptooth began to stir as Doc started to push him towards the canyon opening. With a final heave, Sharptooth fell over the edge and roared.

The giant predator lay at the bottom of the canyon for days, unable to move, unaware of where he was. Back on top the Longnecks are safe, as Doc leaves, the young Longnecks ran to Doc and says, " Come back, come back."

Doc didn't listen as Doc left, as he remembered what Sharptooth had just said, as he walked to where Sharptooth came from.

Back in the present, Richard paused the story and says, " Hold on, wait a minute? You knew that Sharptooth had a mate?"

Doc says, " Personally no, but ask yourself, why would Sharptooth go through that much trouble?"

Richard says, " You do got a point."

Doc then says more of his story, " As I left the Great Valley, I found a nest, which belongs to Sharptooth and his mate, I saw his mate and confronted her."

Richard then asks, " You didn't kill her, did you?"

Doc says, " No, of course not, she had just layed her eggs, that would be cruel of me, but however, I did sent her a warning."

Back in the past, Doc confronted Razorclaw, since she was in no condition to fight, all she could was listen to what Doc has to say, " If you or Sharptooth come anywhere near the Great Valley again, you and him will be met with the severe punishment from me."

Doc then turned to leave, as Razorclaw only hope for Sharptooth to come back alive, as she waits for him.

Back in the present, Miller asks Sharptooth, " how long were you out?"

Sharptooth says, " I don't know, maybe a day or two, but when I woke back up..."

Back in the past, Sharptooth was awoke from coma by a great earthshake. Once the ground subsided, he began to walk, following a small stream. His body ached, his vision blurry. He was hungry, and tired, yet he walked. Eventually he came to the end of the canyon and left it behind. He knew what would await him once he got back to the nest and to Razorclaw.

After a day of walking he finally managed to see the rocky labyrinth of their nesting sight. He maneuvered his way through the rocks until he caught the scent of the nest. But something was off. He could clearly smell blood in the air. Razorclaw must've made a kill when he didn't come back. He turned the corner of the rock and found the nest. And a sight that burned itself in his mind.

Razorclaw lay dead in a pool of red. A trail of blood reached of jagged rock point. The eggs in the nest were all crushed, the white shells scattered around the embryos and egg remains. A half developed hatchling lay coated in his own egg casting. The bodies had all turn cold. All around the nest, footprints in red of a Longneck. Only a single Longneck.

Coldness filled Sharptooth from tooth to tail. A cold horror that tore at his heart. His body shook and trebled in anger. His jaws tightened as a deep rumbling grew in his throat. Unable to hold it back, he lifted his head to the sky and bellowed a thundering roar which split the air. In the distance a flock of Flyers took to the air in fear.

This was Doc's doing. He could feel it. This was Doc getting back at him. All this, everything that had happened to him, was because of Doc. That was when he made his choice. Doc would be made to pay. Not just Doc, but all Longnecks. He would personally hunt them down one by one and slaughter them all. He would have vengeance, he would have blood.

Back in the present, Sharptooth is growling, he is now thinking about get his vengeance on Doc, Miller then asks Sharptooth, " Are you sure, it was Doc? It could have been any other Longneck, besides him."

Sharptooth then says, " It was him, I know his ways of killing other Sharpteeth and other Fast-biters."

Miller then puts away his note book, after he finished writing down the story, Miller will use this as evidence for later, Sharptooth then says, " You two better get some sleep, we'll be on the move again tomorrow."

But Before Miller and Chomper fell asleep Sharptooth asks Miller, " Miller, since you asked about my past, I would like to know yours."

Miller says, " Very well, to tell you all the truth, Me and Richard are not from this time line."

Chomper asks, " What do you mean?"

Miller says, " Me and Richard, are from the future, and me and Richard were not Fast-biters, we were humans, creatures that lived millions of years, after the dinosaurs have disappeared, when I was a human, I used to be a Sargent for the United States Marines."

Sharptooth then asks, " Then how are you a Fast-biter, if you used to call yourself a human, Sargent?"

Miller says, " Well..."

Back with Doc, Richard, Littlefoot, Richard is telling Doc about his past, which is Richard's future, " I was kidnapped by a group of terrorists, they transformed me into a Fast-biter, then I met Miller, he told me he was Sargent as I told him that I was a CIA agent, then me and him, planned are escape, we escaped during a storm called Hurricane Adam, we killed a few terrorists, then we found a time gate to send us here, then the leader of the terrorists confronted us, then I shot the leader killing him, with this" Richard shows his AKS-74u before saying, " Then we went through, and we then met Littlefoot and the gang, and we have been the Great Valley for mouths."

Doc then look at the sky and says, " It's getting late we should get some sleep, because we must be awake early, so that Sharptooth is right behind us."

Richard then asks Doc one last question, " So Doc, after the fight in the Great Valley, you never saw him again, until now?"

Doc says, " Yep, now you see what your going against?"

Richard says, " I get you now, but we need to find a way to stop him, somehow."

Richard puts his notebook away too, as he turns to Littlefoot, Littlefoot then lays down next to him, as Richard lays down next to him, Littlefoot then falls asleep, with his head next to Richard, Richard fell asleep with his arm around Littlefoot, he would do anything to protect Littlefoot at all cost, Doc smiles at the two, then he looks in the sky, as he then joined them in their slumber, back with Sharpteeth, Chomper, Miller, Chomper is was scared from the story, he couldn't go to the sleep, Miller brought Chomper to him, then Chomper now felt safe next to Miller, then Miller and Chomper fell asleep, soon Sharptooth joined them in a land of sleep.

The past is revealed, What will happen to Richard, Miller, Littlefoot, and Chomper, will they escape? Found out next time on chapter 11, review y'all.
