"They coming! They coming!"
Cera and the others faced their hovering friend.
"Who, Petrie?" asked Ducky.
"Littlefoot and Ali. They with a rainbow face."
"How about that human?" asked Cera.
"Me don't know. Big flier told grownups about two longnecks and a rainbow face."
"Well, let's go check," said Cera.
The baby dinosaurs walked from the tall trees to the entrance of the Great Valley. All the adults circled around the entrance. Cera and the others walked to the front where Ali's mother, Grandma Longneck, and Grandpa Longneck were. They waited to see the dinosaurs appear. They all came together. Littlefoot was in-between Ali and Vinna. Their guardians showed a sign of relief.
"Littlefoot!" his grandparents exclaimed happily.
The longnecks ran to their guardians and looked up at them. The adults rubbed their young ones' heads.
"Grandpa! Grandma! I'm so glad to see you!"
"Littlefoot!" shouted Ducky.
Litttlefoot's friends ran to him and hugged him.
"I missed you," said Ducky.
"I missed you all too," said Littlefoot.
Cera looked around and saw the rainbow face.
"Hi."
"Hello."
Grandpa Longneck faced her.
"What's your name, and where are your parents?"
"My name is Vinna. My parents were…killed by…Lucastrof."
Grandpa Longneck lifted his head in shock.
"Are you sure?"
Vinna nodded. Chatter rose among the adults. Grandpa Longneck stopped the talking and faced Littlefoot.
"Littlefoot, where's Abe?"
Littlefoot lowered his head and looked at the ground. Grandpa Longneck understood.
"Is Lucastrof still alive?"
"Yes," said Ali. "He was the one that most likely bewitched the raptors that chased us. Abe stayed behind to fight them and did kill most of them, but he sacrificed his life to save us."
"I see. So not even he was strong enough."
Littlefoot looked up at his grandpa.
"Abe was strong enough. I don't know why he failed, but he saved my life several times against Lucastrof."
"But he's still dead," pointed out Mr. Threehorn.
Not wanting to face the fact, Littlefoot ran away from the crowd.
"Littlefoot!" called out his grandma.
He did not turn around. He kept on running to the watering hole passed the tall trees. Ali looked up at Littlefoot's grandparents.
"Don't worry. I'll get him."
"I'll do it," said Grandpa Longneck, knowing that he started it.
He followed his grandson's trail. Near the water's edge stood Littlefoot. He added his tears to the fresh water. Grandpa Longneck lowered his head.
"Littlefoot."
Littlefoot sniffled and faced his grandpa.
"Why did you say that? Abe was strong, just like my mother. He protected me, just like Mother did."
Grandpa Longneck raised his head, still looking down at Littlefoot.
"I am sorry. I realized what I said. I just didn't know how close of a friend he was to you."
"He taught me so much and saved my life, even from myself. Because of him, I can switch from normal to fire. Grandpa, why didn't you like him?"
"Because he was…"
Grandpa Longneck sighed.
"Because of the past."
He paused for five seconds.
"My grandfather was one of the dinosaurs that battled Lucastrof," he continued. "I was still an egg, but my mother witnessed everything. They fought until Lucastrof won. My mother had escaped with only me in her mouth. When I was growing up, my mother told stories how my grandfather fought Lucastrof. She would make up the ending, but as I grew older, she told me the truth. Those exciting tales that my mother told me as a child were not the same as I grew older. They were filled with death and sorrow. When Abe came and mentioned the name, I never wanted any part of it. I tried to shun him away, but you've always been my curious grandson, and I always enjoyed that part from you. I just didn't want you to also get involved. I never once did not like Abe; I just wanted those stories and his quest to go away."
"But if Lucastrof is alive, those stories would come back even if Abe hadn't appeared."
Grandpa Longneck smiled at the intelligence of his grandson.
"I guess you're right."
"Want to make tales of old come back to life?" questioned a voice.
Littlefoot and Grandpa Longneck looked around with determined faces. A raptor slowly crept out of the tree he was behind of.
"Lucastrof," said Littlefoot.
Grandpa Longneck looked angrily at the blue raptor.
"You," he said, pointing at Littlefoot. "Baby longneck, where is the Pentagon of Life?"
"I don't know."
"Don't play dumb. I know you have it."
"Even if I did, I would never tell you."
"Playing stupid, are we? No matter, I will end your life. Yours and that miserable half-demon's. Speaking of which, where is he?"
Littlefoot stood silent. Lucastrof grinned as wide as he could.
"He's dead, isn't it?"
Littlefoot shook at those words.
"It'll make killing much easier. I'll start with you, Littlefoot."
"You're on."
"Littlefoot, don't," said Grandpa Longneck. "I'll take care of it."
Lucastrof looked at the bigger longneck and sniffed the air.
"You smell familiar. At least your scent does. Where have I smelled that before? …Ah, yes. Jake."
"Jake?" wondered Littlefoot.
"So, I'm assuming you are that annoying longneck's daughter's egg. I remember that day. I was about to kill your mother when your grandfather intervene. She only selected one egg since she could only put one in her mouth. Then she ran and hid. After killing your grandfather and destroying the rest of her eggs, I couldn't find her. Damn woman hid from me good. Anyways, the fact that his grandson is Littlefoot's grandfather too is just too good for me. I'll just kill you both."
Grandpa Longneck used his tail to whip Lucastrof. Lucastrof jumped up to avoid it and cast a ball of dark energy at Grandpa Longneck. It pushed the big longneck back fifty feet, hitting trees along the way. Grandpa Longneck slammed into a tree that stopped him. He fell down and grew unconscious. He had a giant burnt mark where the ball touched him. Lucastrof grinned and faced Littlefoot.
"It's your turn."
"What did you do to my grandpa?"
"Isn't it obvious? He was in the way. I don't want any interference as I kill you."
Littlefoot ignited himself, and the battle was underway.
The spy peered from a safe distance. He saw Lucastrof basically knock Grandpa Longneck down. In the distant, he saw that the dinosaurs heard something and started heading that way. The babies were running to the spot. He recognized two of them.
"Why are these babies so annoying? It's just like old times, especially that longneck. I failed to kill him, but Lucastrof will."
Footsteps behind him surprised the egg-stealer. He turned around, only to have the world disappear forever from his eyes.
Littlefoot blew fireballs at Lucastrof. The wizard blocked each one with his staff. He twirled his staff in front of him, releasing a strong gust of wind that pushed Littlefoot back against a tree. As Littlefoot fell to the floor, Lucastrof cast a small orb of dark energy at the baby longneck. When Littlefoot hit the floor hard, he saw that fire in front of him shot up from off the ground in a rising, foot-long line. He quickly spun around and saw the orb. He stomped the floor hard, summoning his powers to his foot. A line of fire shot up from the ground quickly and continued towards Lucastrof. He jumped out of the way as the fire shot up from beneath him. The tip of his tail got burnt. He faced Littlefoot.
"Haven't your grandparents ever told you to never play with fire? Because it burns you back."
Lucastrof cast a lava ball at Littlefoot. Liittlefoot knew he could survive it, but if he got too hot, Lucastrof could use water instantly to cool him down and turn him to stone. The ball was too big to evade, but a blast of water cooled it down so that it was the same temperature as the flames around Liittlefoot. The attack hit Littlefoot, but it didn't damage him. Lucastrof looked at where the water came from and saw Ali. He didn't question the female longneck first. He cast electrical current at Ali. Roots rocketed up from out of the ground, covering Ali. They absorbed the electricity and went back down into the Earth. Vinna stood next to Ali.
"So, you two have powers as well."
He then looked at the rainbow face.
"I know you. Well, I saw you. You were that baby that ran away before I killed your parents."
Vinna held back the tears.
"Lucastrof, I will see that my parents are avenged."
"Ha. You wish."
Soon, the other residents of the Great Valley appeared. They saw the three children, the raptor, and a knocked-out longneck.
"Dear!" yelled Grandma Longneck.
"There's too many of you," stated Lucastrof. "This should do and should finish you off as well."
He tapped the ground with his staff. Decent sized boulders surrounded him and were fired out at his opponents. Everyone got stoned and was knocked out. Littlefoot was the only one to remain conscious, but the stones hammered his body to the ground. Lucastrof approached the male longneck. Littlefoot looked up at him. The demon smiled and pointed his staff with the orb facing Littlefoot at him. The orb glowed purple.
"It's over."
