And Now

Here's Chapter 6 of

The Dinosaur Revolution

A Not-So-Warm Welcome

Last chapter recap: After meeting two big jaws from the Valley of the Meat Eaters who were actually trying to get away from it, Heart Umasou and his friends found out that the Valley of the Meat Eaters isn't as peaceful as it seems. They discovered that the leader of the Valley, Sakaki who is supposed to be leading the fellow big jaws fairly and keep peace has actually turned on the peaceful ways. He found out that he has gone against the treaty that the big jaws aren't supposed to hunt within the Grand Valley unless they are in a state of emergency and need any food they can get. They would usually hunt outside their Valley for food. Instead he has broken the treaty by attacking the Grand Valley and now the dinosaurs living there have to live in fear. Even worse, there is a civil war within the Valley of the Meat Eaters. The big jaws that are against hunting within the Valley are against Sakaki and trying their best to take them down. However there are a lot of big jaws that are sided with Sakaki and will do their best to take out those that try to oppose him. Now very few big jaws live in the Valley of the Meat Eaters because they want no part of the war, so they have to leave the Valley and try to find another peaceful place.

Heart and his friends, however are not going to give up. For Heart's family lives in the Grand Valley and with most big jaws attacking the Valley, he fears that it will be a matter of time before the other big jaws find and possibly kill his family. Heart will do whatever it takes to make sure his family is protected from the big jaws. Thankfully for Heart and his friends after traveling such a long way they are nearly at the two Great Valleys.

After meeting Akisame and Hanataro and convincing them to return with him to the Valley of the Meat Eaters, Heart and his friends continued on their way to the Grand Valley until after about one hour Heart and his friends had finally reached the two Great Valleys after such a long journey.

"Well were finally here. After such a long and harsh journey, we have finally made it to the Grand Valley and the Valley of the Meat Eaters," said gratefully.

"After being gone for so many years, I'm finally back home," said Hiro.

"It's hard to believe were back to this place of such chaos," said Akisame.

"We'd better get to our family in case any of the big jaws try to get them," said Hanabi.

"I know," said Heart who too was worried about the safety of his family.

So after a short amount of time looking, the dinosaurs found the entrance to the Valley of the Meat Eaters on their ground, not knowing what they would expect waiting for them. After quickly traveling through the entrance they were finally able to see what the Valley of the Meat Eaters itself looked like. They were very surprised about what they saw.

The Valley of the Meat Eaters was a complete wasteland. There was just about no sign of life within the Valley. The ground was completely dry. If there was ever grass or plants growing, they had died out long ago. There was no way that plants could possibly grow upon the ground.

"Even for a Valley of big jaws, this is impossible. There isn't a single plant in sight anywhere," said Umasou surprised.

"There was more life outside of the Valley than inside of this one," said Hanabi.

"I can't believe this. Even when I was very young, there was plenty of life within this great valley. How could this have possibly happened here that killed all of the plants?" asked Hiro who was probably the most shocked.

"I have no idea. Maybe the big jaws have traveled so much within their valley that they trampled all of the plants. I know that big jaws don't eat plants but this shouldn't be possible whatsoever," said Heart.

"Well, be that as it may, we'd better try to find some of the big jaws and hopefully even Sakaki, the leader of this Valley. Were sure to find some big jaws sooner or later," said Hiro.

"Yes, we just keep moving on until we find someone," said Hanataro.

"You dinosaurs there! Stop this instant!" said a voice.

Soon everyone was a bit scared and they had all stopped. Very shortly a medium-sized big jaw, just a bit bigger than Heart appeared.

"Who are all of you big jaws? What business do you have here in the Valley of the Meat Eaters?" asked the big jaw.

"We mean no harm to anyone. We are only here because we all wish to live here together in peace," said Heart.

"Oh really? Well you can't just stay here just like that. Come with me and I will take you to the leader of this Valley, Sakaki. After he's done with you lot, then you will decide on if you really want to live here or not. Now, please follow me," said the big jaw as he started to walk.

"We better do as he says. We don't want to cause any trouble after only just arriving," said Akisame.

"Good idea," said Heart. So the group of dinosaurs followed the big jaw to the leader of the Valley, Sakaki.

After traveling a bit of a way, they reached a very big open field or what was left of one. It could possibly the place where all of the big jaws slept and rested. Heart noticed something that was a little out of the ordinary.

"Just out of curiosity, but why are the big jaws on different side of the valley walls? Don't they just sleep in the middle or at least together with their family?" asked Heart.

"Having the big jaws sleep out in the middle of the field can be confusing because we wouldn't be able to tell which big jaws are on which side," said the big jaw.

"What exactly do you mean by sides? Is the valley a bit divided?" asked Umasou.

"In a manner of speaking it is. You see, the big jaws that are on the left side of the valley walls? They are all with Sakaki and his decisions and they obey him. They are also known as inner hunters," said the big jaw.

"What are inner hunters?" asked Hanabi.

"The big jaws that bring back food to the other big jaws on their side. They hunt within the Grand Valley," said the big jaw.

After he had said that, Heart was already starting to get angry because of the thought of his family in danger. But then Umasou comforted him a bit.

"Remember dad, even if it's true you can't blow off your anger on anyone. We don't want to be kicked out of the valley already," said Umasou.

"Yeah, your right. I'll try to stay calm." said Heart to Umasou.

"So what about the big jaws that are on the right side of the valley? Their sure are a lot less of them than the number on the left side," said Heart.

"Those big jaws over there are the big jaws who are against and sometimes oppose Sakaki and the way that he controls the valley. Because they are against hunting within the Grand Valley they are made to hunt and bring food from outside of the valley. Why Sakaki allows them to live here I'll never know exactly," said the big jaw.

"But because of that, surely there have been conflicts within the valley correct?" asked Hiro.

"Indeed you are right. It's not an everyday thing, but occasionally there will be some fights between the two sides. Sometimes they are quite big. But since there are so few that are against them, they usually lose or they retreat," said the big jaw.

"Has there ever been any big jaws that have tried to challenge Sakaki to become the next leader of this valley? Surely some of the big jaws have tried to challenge him," said Hiro.

"Indeed, there have been quite a few big jaws that have fought Sakaki to become the new leader of the Valley of the Meat Eaters. But not one big jaw, challenging him or not, has ever defeated Sakaki. He is a very powerful big jaw. One of the strongest I've known. Those that have tried to challenge him for leadership have all been defeated and just about all of them have been banished, never to return here again. Some of the fools that have lost to Sakaki for leadership even ended up losing their own lives as well. If I were you, I'd try my best to stay on his good side or you'll be in for it. We should be coming up to Sakaki really soon," said the big jaw.

"We will try our best to stay on his good side," said Umasou.

After walking a bit more, they all stopped in front of a very large big jaw. He was a dark green big jaw. He was quite bigger than Heart, but he wasn't quite as big as Baku.

"Great Sakaki, I present to you these big jaws. They have come here from a long journey. They wish to live here within your valley great Sakaki," said the big jaw.

"Oh is that so? Well it is all right to me if they wish to live here within my valley," said Sakaki.

"Well that's good news," said Sagi.

"Before you get settled in, however, I will need to ask you a few questions for depending on where in the Valley you will live," said Sakaki.

"Well, if it's just a few questions, then it shouldn't be much of a problem. Right?" asked Heart to the other dinosaurs.

"Yes it will be fine," said Hiro.

"All right then, let's get this started then. We will do one big jaw at a time. Let's start off with you," said Sakaki pointing at Hiro.

"Understood then Sakaki," said Hiro.

"All right then. I will only ask you and the others one question, but this one question will determine a lot about where you will live and how it will affect you." Sakaki paused for a moment to talk to the others.

"I shall also ask you the same question I will ask Hiro so you should all pay close attention so you won't be surprised when I ask you it," Sakaki said to Heart and the others.

"We all understand and we will pay close attention," said Heart.

"Anyway, as I was saying Hiro here is the very important for you. Hiro will you be hunting within the Grand Valley with my herd? Or will you be hunting outside of the valley with the others?" asked Sakaki.

"Heart was very surprised when he heard Sakaki finish. "I wonder why they ask that question for depending where they live? It's very unusual," said Heart to himself.

"Well since I am originally from the Valley of the Meat Eaters but my family left while I was young, I grew up pretty much on my own, hunting food independently. So I am going to hunt outside of the valley, since I am more accustomed to it," said Hiro.

"If that is truly your choice, then you are against me and the big jaws that are with me. You shall stay on the right side of the valley with the other big jaws that are against me and the way I rule. You are not allowed to hunt or enter the Grand Valley under any circumstances. Also you are considered an enemy to me and the dinosaurs on the left side of the valley. That is all Hiro," said Sakaki.

When Sakaki had finished talking to Hiro, all of the dinosaurs were in shock, especially Heart who couldn't believe what he had just heard at all.

"This is insanity. Your telling me that one question determines whether or not a big jaw can live here fairly with the others or as an outcast and made to hunt outside of the Valley? That's not just diversity, it's madness. And all just one from one single question?! Your no leader at all! Your nothing more than a tyrant!" said Heart in rage at Sakaki.

"What was that?!" said Sakaki to Heart angrily.

"You heard me! The way that you rule this valley is insane! Because of Hiro saying that he prefers to hunt outside of the valley instead of inside the Grand Valley, you consider him an enemy of you and pretty much an outcast like the others? What kind of leader ever does that to his people?" asked Heart still mad at Sakaki.

"And who exactly are you to tell me how I rule my people?!" asked Sakaki fuming at Heart.

"I am Heart, a big jaw who was raised differently than other big jaws. I was adopted and raised by a family of maiasauras. I am also very certain that I am the lost son of One-Eyed Baku," said Heart.

Some of the other big jaws were very surprised when Heart had revealed that about himself. "A big jaw who was raised by a plant eater? I've never heard of such a thing in my entire life," said a big jaw.

"And he also said that he's certain that he's the lost son of Baku? I know that Baku has Sakaki as his son, but I thought that was his only son. I never expected him to have a lost son," said another big jaw.

"Well Baku hasn't been back home here since he was the leader of our Valley and that was just about ten years ago. Back when things were the way they were supposed to be. When the peace treaty was still in place and when there wasn't a war within our own valley," said another big jaw.

"Do you forget who's side you are on?! As long I am the leader, you will do what I say and being a big jaw that hunts within the valley you will not side with anyone else," said Sakaki enraged.

"How can you just talk that way to your own people?! You may be a leader but it isn't your job to CONTROL your own people. And how can you just break the peace treaty with the Grand Valley just like that? The people of the Grand Valley were promised with the treaty that they were finally able to live without fear of being eaten by anyone and because of you, now they are all in fear of being killed. Including my family! I'll never live in this Valley with the likes of you corrupting it!" said Heart still ever so mad at Sakaki.

"Well that can be arranged very easily. Now Heart I don't know if you really are Baku's lost son and my brother but I could care less either way. Heart, you are banished from my Valley of the Meat Eaters never to return here ever again!" Yelled Sakaki.

Everybody was in shock when they heard Sakaki say what he just said. Especially Umasou and Hanabi.

"No! You big Meany! You can't just banish my dad from here! We came here all the way from Egg Mountain just to live here together! And now your just taking my family away from him," Yelled Umasou at Sakaki.

"Because of you, not only is my big brother Heart but now my family is living in fear of being killed by you and your dumb followers!" said Hanabi who too was mad at Sakaki.

"And who exactly are these two plant eaters?! This is a Valley of MEAT EATERS! All plant eaters here are either dead or nothing more than food! They must be killed!" said Sakaki.

"If you even think about killing them you will have to kill me first. You will NEVER harm my family and you will NEVER kill them!" said Heart who looked like he was ready to kill.

"And what are they to you anyway? To me and the others they are nothing more than a meal to us," said Sakaki.

"This hard shell is Umasou my son and this is Hanabi my younger sister. I brought them here from far away not to live here, but to live in the Grand Valley with their family! Where they could live in peace! But now because of you, my family will have to live in fear. Well now I'm glad that I'm banished! At least I'll be able to protect my family from the likes of you!" said Heart.

"Fine then. Take your 'family' with you to the Grand Valley and if you ever come back here, I will kill you," said Sakaki.

"That's fine then. C'mon Umasou and Hanabi lets us go to our family and out of this hell hole. And Sakaki, I'd love to see you try to take me down," said Heart as he started for the Grand Valley with his son and his sister.

"Heart! This is far from over you hear me?! I attack the Grand Valley every few days! It will be a matter of time before you and your family will all be dead! We will meet again and you'd better be ready for me!" yelled Sakaki as Heart continued for the Grand Valley. "If anyone ELSE wishes to join him then you can do it now. Will you Hiro?" asked Sakaki.

"No, I may be against you but I never said anything against you. I shall live here and I will hunt outside of the Valley only. You will never see me inside the Grand Valley unless you order me to do so," said Hiro.

"Good boy. At least your much better than that disgrace which is Heart. Well then let's move on to the other big jaws," said Sakaki as he started to ask Sagi and his family which side they will be on.

Before he started, Hiro went to the right side of the Valley where he will be staying at. "Don't worry Heart. Soon we will take down this tyrant Sakaki down. But we will need more help and we will need a lot more time. I just hope that you have a plan that can take him down like I do," said Hiro talking to himself just before he laid down to rest. "He WILL be taken down"
