Littlefoot stared death in the face as Lucastrof stored energy in the staff. He closed his eyes.
"Have fun in the afterlife!" laughed Lucastrof.
Suddenly, a shower of sharp metals poured down where Lucastrof was. He saw them just in the nick of time. He looked up and faced his opponent. Only one person he knew could do the attack in this era. Abe jumped over to Littlefoot's side.
"Abe," said Littlefoot. "You're alive."
"I can explain later. It seems you are all in peril."
Lucastrof growled. He chanted a spell under his breath. The staff's orb grew dark. He released a giant dark orb from the staff. Abe countered it with a light move. The light move was a golden blast of energy. The two attacks entwined with one another, trying to overtake the other. The dark soon conquered the light. The stronger attack of dark energy headed towards Abe. The only thing he could do was cast another blast of energy. As it was released from the sword, Littlefoot found the will to stand up. He charged a fireball in his mouth and spat it out, adding Abe's attack. It wasn't enough. Dark struggled to take over the attack, but it was still winning. Soon, a blast of water added to the power of their attack, and roots pushed the attack forward. Littlefoot and Abe looked back and saw Ali and Vinna conscious. Lucastrof found that their combined attack was overpowering his exponentially and added more power to his attack. He kept on adding power to his attack until his orb couldn't take it. It shattered into pieces the same time the two attacks exploded. The explosion wiped the area around Lucastrof away. Abe protected the area they were in by using his mythical sword's earthly barrier. The diamond boulders contained the attack and Lucastrof. The explosion was so great that the diamonds cracked. The explosion subsided, and the diamond crystals went back into the depths of Earth. The black smoke cleared after a minute. Littlefoot, Ali, and Vinna were all shock that Lucastrof still remained standing.
"How can you still be alive?" shouted Littlefoot.
"Just like Abe, I'm not willing to go down easily."
He chanted another spell, this time aloud. Soon, the ground began to shake violently. The other dinosaurs woke up to this shake. Soon, full body skeletons of dinosaurs rose up from the group. Most were skeletons of sharpteeth. Lucastrof used the last of his magic to make a sword made of magic and had endless magical attacks.
"Great," sighed Abe. "The undead."
Lucastrof pointed his sword at the living dinosaurs. Those who stood no chance fled, but the majority of the Great Valley residents fought. They thought that the undead were impossible to kill until Mr. Threehorn rammed a big sharptooth. He hit the knee, breaking it. The skeleton fell apart. Feeling confident now, the rest did battle with the army of skeletons.
Littlefoot burned the bones to ash of his attacking opponent. It was a velociraptor that blocked him from Ali. After it was basically cremated, he jumped to Ali's side. Her water attacks were able to penetrate the bone of her opponent, a teenaged tyrannosaur. Although it took a while, the skeleton finally collapsed due to its weakened structure.
"It looks like you need some help."
"We all do," panted Ali. "That used a lot of my energy."
Littlefoot looked around and saw the adults taking long to fend off their attackers. His friends were attacking them in a safe distant, clubbing them with rocks. It didn't do much, but it felt like they were helping. He saw Vinna using vines to tie up her opponents, but the vines would snap after a few minutes. Soon, he saw three sharptooth skeletons heading his way. He looked back at Ali. She was determined to fight, but she seemed too worn out.
"Ali, get to the water and merge yourself with it. The water will restore your energy."
"But Littlefoot-"
"Just go! I'll take care of these three."
She hesitated for a second before she complied. She ran to the shallow water and transformed her body into water. She fell apart and became one with the water. Littlefoot smirked that she had listen and faced his opponents. He easily defeated them with his fireballs. He was too proud of himself that he did not see the skeletal raptor behind him. It jumped at him, but a tail quickly broke it into pieces. The bones rained in front of Littlefoot and looked back.
"Grandpa! You're alive!"
"Lucastrof just knocked me out. Littlefoot, you must hide from this battle."
"No, I have to fight."
"But-"
"Grandpa, I am not a kid anymore inside. I grew inside and know the consequences. Lucastrof will stop at nothing to win, meaning I won't either."
Grandpa Longneck sighed and nodded.
"Where's Ali?"
"She's restoring her energy in the water. When Lucastrof hits me with fireballs, my energy is rejuvenated. I'm guessing if Ali's in water, her energy would come back too."
"How about Abe?"
The longneck looked around and saw that he and Lucastrof were not present. Not answering his grandfather, he looked around to find them. Skeletal soldiers attacked them, but Littlefoot and Grandpa Longneck quickly defeated them. They even helped their fellow comrades as they searched. Finally, Littlefoot and Grandpa Longneck spotted something behind the tall trees. The rivals stood twenty feet away from each other, taunting one another.
"Those bewitched raptors were just pushovers," said Abe. "I killed most of them, but two fled. I chased after them, but before I did, I used my hologram projector from my communicator to disguised one of the dead raptors as me."
"So that's what you did. It even tricked me, but your technology will be your downfall. Magic will reign, and I'll be its king."
"Then prepare for a gruesome death."
Abe ran at the demon and sliced his sword through the air. Lucastrof blocked it with his sword. Abe quickly spun around and slashed at Lucastrof. He once again blocked it. Abe picked up the pace and delivered a hundred strikes in one minute. Lucastrof blocked each one and yawned in the hundredth strike.
"Is that the best sword skills you have to offer?"
Abe jumped high into the air and plunged his sword down at Lucastrof. Lucastrof jumped out of the way and sliced at the half-demon. Abe evaded it as it skimmed the tips of his hair. He pulled his sword up and stabbed Lucastrof. The wizard jumped back to avoid getting stabbed and chanted a spell. The sword activated the magic within it and released a fast stream of electrical current. Abe used his sword as a conductor and absorbed the electrical current within the blade. He cast his sword down, releasing a blast of holy power. Lucastrof grinned and unexpectedly threw his sword like a dart at the attack. The sword corrupted the attack and made the attack turn dark. It then went in the same direction as the sword was thrown. Littlefoot rushed out of the trees to help, but it was too late. The attack engulfed Abe. He defended himself with his sword's barrier, but Lucastrof sword went through the barrier and stabbed his gut. The barrier continued to withstand the pressure of the magical attack and it did drain some of the energy of the attack, but it failed. Abe was thrown back with the sword in his gut. He lied there motionless. Tears dropped down from Littlefoot. He heard a bellowed laugh and turned towards Lucastrof. Grandpa Longneck joined his grandson.
"That stupid half-demon is finally gone out of my life," he panted.
Littlefoot, filled with anger, surrounded himself with flames. Something was different though. Soon, a cylindrical fire wall shot down from the skies and surrounded Littlefoot. Ali and Vinna ran out of the tall trees to find where Littlefoot and Abe had gone off to. They were surprised to see what was happening with Littlefoot.
"Unreal," commented Vinna.
The cylindrical of fire stopped coming from the sky. The new flames were absorbed into Littlefoot. It was so much power that even his eyes turned red. Lucastrof looked up and wanted to run, but he was to weaken from Abe and earlier events. Littlefoot summoned a magma ball and shot it at Lucastrof. Lucastrof watched as the ball approached him. He smiled before the magma ball consumed him and burned his soul. The magma on the ground cooled instantly and turned to stone. Littlefoot turned back to normal and collapsed. He looked up and saw a pearl where Lucastrof once was. He was sure Lucastrof was now dead.
"Littlefoot!" exclaimed Ali as she ran to him.
Vinna followed her. Ali lowered her neck and rubbed Littlefoot's cheek. Grandpa Longneck looked down at his grandson and smiled. Soon, the others appeared. Only three of the residents were killed, but the battle was won. Littlefoot looked at where Abe laid. He lowered his head to the floor.
"Lucastrof is gone, but Abe is dead. If I would have attacked sooner…"
"Don't put the blame on yourself," said Grandpa Longneck. "Abe knew what he put himself into. His sacrifice will be remembered."
Vinna saw the pearl and walked over to it.
"All because of these objects," she said, looking at the feather and the pearl.
Soon, the objects began to glow. The feather and the pearl flew towards Abe and circled around him. The cup and the bark flew out of Abe's kimono and joined the other two objects. They spun around Abe, gaining speed. Soon, Abe began to glow. After thirty seconds of this mystic sight, the objects stopped swirling around and flew into Abe's kimono. The sword shined a golden yellow like Abe's holy powers. Soon, it stopped.
"Man," groaned a voice. "I thought I was a goner."
Abe sat up and looked at the sword in him. It had lost all of its dark magic and poisons. He pulled it out and tossed it to the side. He looked down at Corration and smiled. The sword had revived him through the help of the four items of the Pentagon of Life.
"Abe?"
Abe looked at the stunned dinosaurs. He smiled and slowly got to his feet. The wound was still visible, but his body would recover. He smiled.
"Abe," said Littlefoot. "You're alive."
"Just like Lucastrof said: I don't die easily."
Littlefoot widened his smile. His friend, and mentor, was still alive.
"Littlefoot, it seems you've done a good job on protecting your family, friends, and the whole dinosaur world. I knew that you could do it."
"We all did it."
"So is Lucastrof gone forever?" asked Grandpa Longneck.
"I'm sure of it. You have an awesome grandson, and you should be very proud."
"I am."
Grandpa Longneck rubbed his grandson's cheek. Littlefoot laughed.
"Abe, isn't there one more piece?" asked Ali.
Abe smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry about it. As long as I have the other pieces, we are all fine. Lucastrof is dead, so there are no worries about awful magic."
Abe faced all the dinosaurs and smiled.
"Well, I guess it's time for me to go."
"Go?" wondered Vinna.
"Go back home."
"But why don't you stay here?" asked Littlefoot.
Abe smiled.
"Littlefoot, you and I live in different times. It's only natural I leave to my home."
Littlefoot lowered his head. Abe walked up to it and petted his head. Littlefoot looked up.
"Don't worry. Goodbye is never easy, but it is something that we all must deal with."
"I guess."
"Do me a favor. Ali, Vinna, and you must make sure you use your magic for the greater good. Rely on them when facing harsh times."
They all nodded. Abe smiled and pressed a few buttons on his communicator. A time portal opened in front of him. He walked up to it and looked back one more time. He smiled and nodded. He walked through the portal and disappeared from the dinosaur world.
"Thank you for everything, Abe."
The dinosaurs walked back to their homes after the tough battle. Littlefoot, Ali, and Vinna remained and looked at where Abe stood last. They remembered the lessons they learned from him and the friendship he gave them. They smiled as Ali rested her head against Littlefoot's head. He looked at her in the corner of his eye and smiled. Their quest was over, but their new lives had just begun.
