CHAPTER FIVE


Meanwhile, Ali said to Littlefoot "I'm so sorry Littlefoot. To have to go through this all over again. I mean, you'd hoped he was gone after he killed your mother. Now, I bet it hurts, knowing he's alive." said Ali.

"He won't be killing another member of my family. I've made up my mind that if we get into real trouble, then I'll hold him off and you leave with the kids." said Littlefoot.

"But Littlefoot, he might kill you." said Ali.

"At least you'd be safe." he said, nuzzling her neck with his neck.

Grandpa and Grandma Longneck were also angry about Sharptooth being still alive. They wanted to fight Shredder themselves, but, being in their later 80's, it was not a good idea. And Cera's father Topps couldn't help much either, as he was in his mid-70's and had lost quite a bit of his thunder. They could get Bron. Bron could help out. Bron would definitely want to be the one to get revenge on his wife's killer. But where would he be at this time of year?

Meanwhile, the male Egg Stealer whispered to his mate: "Stupid Sharptooth, that is a complete misinterpretation of what I said, I was just describing what happened moments before I got caught in hopes that mabye something good would happen. We are going to die. And I don't know what we can do to prevent it. Know anywhere we can hide?"

Chomper, meanwhile, comes to some Sharpteeth in the Lush Valley. After asking them, he indeed finds that they do know where Shredder. Having gotten the information he needsd, he heads back to the two Egg Stealers, who haven't found a good place to hide from him. "Helo." said Chomper to them.

"Save yourself, I will try to hold him off." The male Egg Stealer shouts, having no idea that in a ironic way he was completely right.

"Not to worry. You were honest. I found the information on Shredder. He's in the Long Valley near the Land of the Featherhead Sharpteeth. Thanks for the information. You can be about your way. Besides, you should know that I consider Egg Stealers junk food and don't normally eat them unless they try and steal eggs from the Great Valley. You won't be bothered by me again." said Chomper before leaving. The two Egg Stealers, stunned by their dumb luck, pass out.

When they come to, they decide to go live somewhere else. "It's an anniversary present you always wanted." said the male Egg Stealer. "A new home." His mate laughs.

Chomper, meanwhile, heads into the Long Valley. He spots an area with many bones. Up ahead, he sees Shredder, though he is not alone, but is with a pack.

Hello Chomper. Glad to see you again. Was planning to attack the Great Valley in 14 rising and settings of the Bright Cirlce. said Shredder.

A medium blue Two Claw with black stripes and emerald eyes, five feet short for her kind, and without a single battle scar to brag about examines Chomper, sniffing him.

Seems suspicious to me Shredder. she says. I mean he just happens to find your hide out so quickly? Something about him makes me uneased.

A rust-colored Two Claw twice her age and twice her size scoffs You think everything is suspicious. Remember that time that...

Shut it. she snaps.

A green Two Claw, scrawny and over energetic, just watches them argue and laughs with amusement.

Chomper thinks of what to say. He cannot tell them that he is working for the Great Valley. However, he realizes that he would have to explain why he would go looking for Shredder in the first place. Finally, he thinks of somethng plausible. I heard that your pack has some of the strongest Sharpteeth around. It seemed a good place to find a mate. The other packs I've found aren't worthy of me. he replies quickly.

The short blue female suddenly changes her attitude

Never mind what I said, if you want me I am yours, any time you like you adorable..

The tall rust colored one laughs Ahem, keep your dignity.

Sorry. She replies. Don't know what got over me. Uh, don't tell anyone about this, or else.

Why does Shredder want to attack the Great Valley over five silly Flatteeth? I mean, they didn't kill him after all. There are a lot more Flatteeth in there than just five. Seems very risky to actually go in there. My parents once braved it and the Flatteeth all banded together and drove them out. Chomper asks the blue female.

The scrawny green Sharptooth sniffed Chomper. He smells like Egg Stealers. he laughed.

After I was done with those 14 Fast Biters, I decided to have two Egg Stealers for dessert. Chomper lied. When I caught the male, I decided to mess with him before nomming him. He was so terrified that he, er, released his bladder water onto me. That's why I smell funny.

The short blue Two Claw said You remind me of Phyco, I say we let him stay.

The scrawny green Two Claw grumbled Oh please, I can't eat that much. I would have left them alive with their entrails hanging out in a colony crawler nest. (ants.) That way we can have less eggs at risk of being snatched and the crawlers will have their meal.

The short blue Two Claw comes closer and whispers into Chomper's ear It's kinda a secret, and by kinda I mean we are not I repeat not allowed to talk about it in Shredders presence. You want to know, come with me, I will tell you.

She leads the way to talk to him alone.

Phyco grumbled Hmp, lucky!

Meanwhile, in the Great Valley, Ruby said to Littlefoot "I hope Chomper can manage this. He is good at fighting smaller Sharpteeeth like Fast Biters and Belly Draggers but I am not so sure he would fight a Two Claw like himself as well as he would fight something that is smaller than a Two Claw."

"Ruby, we are going to have to trust him." said Littlefoot.

"He has been gone some time. He has. I hope that Sharptooth did not kill him." said Ducky to him.

"Ducky, Chomper is the bravest Sharptooth I've met. He won't be killed so easily." Littlefoot reassurred her.

"Me no think you meet many Sharpteeth that talk to you, so that not saying much." Petrie said.

Littlefoot and Spike went to the spot where they thought they had killed Sharptooth. "Isn't it a pain that he's still alive? I mean, we pushed him off and he fell into the water. He nearly took out Petrie." Littlefoot said. Spike nodded. Spike grabbed some green food and ate it. He saw a tasty green plant hanging over the edge of the water. Being the glutton that he was, Spike goes for it. He gets it, but also loses his balance and falls into the water.

"Spike!" Littlefoot cried. He dove into the water after Spike. Spike went down, for he wasn't that good of a Swimmer. Littlefoot had, since his childhood days, learned to swim somewhat. He went to the bottom of the water and got Spike. Spike, however, in a panic, grabbed onto him, trying to pull onto him. "Spikkke. Nooooe!' Littlefoot said under the water, his voice distorted by the water.

Littlefoot grabs onto Spike, starting to feel fainter due to lack of air. Only somewhat conscious, he and Spike come into an area with area. When they get their bearings, they find that they are in an underground cave. "Aha, so this is how Sharptooth survived!" Littlefoot exclaimed.
