It Takes All Sorts
"This game sure is fun, especially as I'm winning!" said Ruby. They were playing racing.
"Well, you're a Fast Runner, so it's hard to catch you." Chomper remarked, running a few feet behind her.
Ruby got to Ducky and handed her a Tree Star. Ducky then ran down a hill. Chomper got to Littlefoot a few seconds later and handed Littlefoot a Tree Star. Littlefoot ran down the hill after Ducky. Ducky and Littlefoot were the last of the bunch. Spike was at the finish line to determine the winner.
"I'm going to win!" said Littlefoot.
"But I am ahead of you." Ducky replied.
"I'm going to catch up!" said Littlefoot.
The two were neck and neck as they neared the finish line. Both were hoping to win. However, neither found out who would win for at that moment, lightning flashed in the sky and it began to rain.
"Oh no! Sky Fire!" both groaned. They left the race path and ran for cover in a nearby cave. The other kids followed them.
Spike, who was the furthest away, was lagging behind. "Come on Spike, hurry up!" Petrie yelled to him. Spike ran toward the cave. Before he could reach it, however, he collided with a Longneck. Both he and the Longneck fell over.
"Spike, what just…." asked Littlefoot, who had heard the collision. He stared at the Longneck. "Ali, what brings you here?" Littlefoot asked, surprised to see her.
[Theme song: "All I see is the day in front of us. All I see is the day in front of us. Burning bright with a new-born sun. Burning bright with a new-born sun. Come follow me. Hills to climb and valleys to roam
Oh, streams to follow all the way home
To the Land Before Time
Before time."]
"Hi Littlefoot." Ali replied, getting up. "Our herd was just passing by here and thought they'd stop by."
"Glad to see you again." said Littlefoot.
"Hello Ali." said Cera. Ali used to be afraid of non-Longnecks, but after their adventures in the Land of Mists together, that had changed. Cera's face, which had been happy when she had seen Ali, turned to a frown as a Longneck Cera was less fond of, Rhett, came into sight.
"There you are Ali!" said Rhett, spotting her. "I was wondering what was keeping you." He noticed Cera and the others. "Hello." he said to them.
"Hello Rhett." said Cera, her tone much less friendly than it had been with Ali.
"Hello Rhett." said Littlefoot.
When they'd last met, Rhett had fabulized Ali with various accounts of him fighting off Sharpteeth. Littlefoot and his friends, seeing through his lies, and wanting to expose the lies Rhett had been telling, had concocted a scheme where Chomper would pretend to attack them and they'd ask Rhett to help. As expected, Rhett took off like a shot when Chomper came into site, exposing him as a fraud. Rhett later eventually found out that the whole issue had been a prank. He had played with them for a bit. However, it seemed that he still was wary of Chomper the whole time. Chomper hadn't participated much anyway due to being exhausted from being chased across the Great Valley by Ali's herd. Thus, he had soon stopping playing tag, being too tired to be it.
"You're with Chomper still. He's a Sharptooth for goodness sake! I don't know if I want to play with him." Rhett said. Chomper frowned.
"He not so bad once you get to know him." said Petrie.
"I'm not sure I want to." said Rhett.
"Then just go away and go back with the other Longnecks. We were better off without you anyway!" Cera snapped at him.
"Fine, I will!" said Rhett, storming off.
"Yeah, who needs you? We don't!" Cera snapped.
"Wanna play swimmer and splasher Ali?" Littlefoot asked.
"Sure." Ali replied.
A few minutes later, Cera said "Swimmer!"
"Splasher!" Ali said. Ali splashed water at Cera.
"Kids!" came the voice of Grandma Longneck. They all turned and stared. "It's important. We're having a Sharptooth attack drill." Several of the children groaned. From time to time, the adults had a Sharptooth attack drill. They'd first started them after Chomper's parents had broken into the Great Valley some years previous. Other than the two Sharpteeth they had spotted hanging around the little-used parts of the Great Valley around Saurus Rock and other than the break-in of Screech and Thud, there had never been a Sharptooth attack in the Great Valley since then. The drills were boring, and the kids felt that the adults took them too seriously. "Come on!" Grandma Longneck called again. The kids left, accidentally forgetting to go get Rhett. The children were led to the sheltering grass, an area of tall grass that they used to hide from Sharpteeth in. As it was surrounded by the Sinking Sands, it made it hard to get to. Littlefoot and his friends had learned that the hard way some years ago when they'd tried to cross on their own and fallen in. They had been saved by the grownups right before they would have drowned. Since then, they had been wary of going there without the grownups, even though they believed that all of them, minus Ducky, who could rely on the others, had decent enough jumping abilities to make it across by hopping on rocks.
Before Ali had crossed, she gasped and whispered to Littlefoot "We forgot to get Rhett!"
"I don't think it's a big deal. It's not a real Sharptooth attack." Littlefoot whispered back.
"I know. I just don't want him to get in trouble."
"Ok, go get him. But try and get back as soon as you can." Ali left, unnoticed by the adults.
The kids went with the grownups to the Sheltering Grass. The other children from the Great Valley were also gathered there.
"Is there a Sharptooth in the Great Valley?" a Tapejara asked.
"No Peja, it's just a drill." Grandpa Longneck replied.
"Then why did you bother us? We were playing stop the seed and my team was winning!" Peja whined.
"You know how important it is that we make sure that we are ready in the event Sharpteeth do break into the Great Valley." Grandpa Longneck replied.
Peja rolled his eyes. "Like that will ever happen!" he scoffed.
Ali, meanwhile, went looking for and found Rhett. "Hello Ali." he said.
"Hello Rhett." she replied.
"You aren't afraid of that Sharptooth?" Rhett asked her.
"No, he seems safe." Ali replied.
"But he's a Sharptooth." Rhett argued.
"Littlefoot trusts him." Ali said.
"Well, I don't." Rhett replied.
"He seems so nice." Ali said.
"Have you ever heard of a nice Sharptooth before?" Rhett asked, rolling his eyes.
"Well, no, but I guess there's a first for everything." Ali replied. "You're just upset because he made a fool of you."
"No, it's not that. It's just that my cousin was killed by a Sharptooth." Rhett replied.
"I'm sorry about that, but Chomper is different." Ali said.
"Do we trust him?
We don't know anything about him.
What if he's a mean Sharptooth?" sang Rhett.
"What if he's not?" Ali sang in reply.
"Perhaps he just hasn't yet been caught." sang Rhett.
"I don't think so." sang Ali.
"But how do you know?
How do we know we can trust him?" Rhett sang.
"Littlefoot says we can.
I think that's good enough." Ali sang in reply.
"But he's a Sharptooth.
Have you ever heard of a good one?
What if he tries to hurt me?" sang Rhett.
"Why don't we want and see?" Ali sang, finishing the song.
Meanwhile, Peja said to Chomper "What are you doing here, fanged mouth?"
"Chomper's one of us." Littlefoot replied.
"I thought he was a Sharptooth and the whole point of this drill was to hide from Sharpteeth." Peja said.
"He's a friendly Sharptooth."
"Yeah, sure." Peja scoffed.
"I won't hurt you." Chomper said to Peja.
"I don't trust you; you're a Sharptooth."
"I won't bite; I promise."
"You're a Strongbiter. Of course you bite."
"Why don't you just stop talking?" Ruby said to Peja.
"Why don't you make me!" Peja retorted.
Meanwhile, Ali had tried her best to convince Rhett that Chomper was safe but had been unsuccessful. "If you don't want to play with Chomper, that's fine. But I will at any rate. We really need to get to the Sheltering Grass. The grownups are having a Sharptooth attack drill" Ali said, turning to leave. The earth suddenly began to shake.
"Earthshake!" Ali and Rhett cried. Rocks began falling nearby and the two ran to get out of the way. The two continued to run as the earthquake continued. Nearby, some rocks on the Great Wall splintered, leaving an opening into the Great Valley from the Mysterious Beyond. Eventually, the earth stopped shaking.
"Are you ok?" Rhett asked Ali.
"I'm fine. I hope that nobody was hurt by that Earthshake."
Meanwhile, about a half mile away, Chomper cried "Ruby, could you please get off of me?" Ruby got up off of Chomper. She'd fallen on him when the Earthshake had knocked her down.
"Sorry Chomper." Ruby said.
"Off of me fanged mouth!" Peja, who was stuck underneath Chomper, cried. Chomper quickly got up.
"Sorry." Chomper said.
Cera, Ducky, Littlefoot, and Spike also got up. Petrie had, luckily, been flying at the time of the Earthshake and so was unharmed. "Are you guys all right?" Littlefoot asked.
"I am fine." Ducky replied.
"I wonder how Ali and Rhett are doing." Littlefoot said.
Meanwhile, Rhett said "Glad that's over."
"We need to get going to the Sheltering Grass before the grownups get too worried about us." Ali said.
The two heard a loud nose nearby. ROAR! "What was that?" Rhett asked.
A female Plated Sharptooth came into sight. "Sharptooth!" Ali and Rhett cried.
"How did she get in?" Ali asked.
"Perhaps the Strongbiter let her in!" Rhett accused.
"Chomper wouldn't do something like that. The Earthshake must have broken part of the Great Wall and let her in." Ali said.
ROAR! They looked and saw that a Horned Sharptooth had also gotten into the Great Valley. "We've got to warn my herd! They don't know that there are Sharpteeth in here!" Ali said.
Meanwhile, Peja and Littlefoot were arguing about Chomper. "Where's Chomper?" Cera suddenly asked, noticing that Chomper was no longer with them.
"Who cares, we're better off without that Strongbiter!" Peja remarked.
"He's our friend!" Littlefoot replied.
"He's just a dumb Sharptooth." Peja said.
WHAM! Petrie flew into him. He normally wasn't a fighter, but Peja had really angered him. "Take it back!" he snapped.
"Get off of me!" Peja yelled.
"Take it back!" Petrie yelled again.
With difficulty, Peja broke free of Petrie's grasp. "Ok fine, I take it back." he said.
"Chomper's gone and it's all your fault!" Cera snapped at him.
"My fault? He's the one that left!" Peja snapped. Cera snarled at him, air blowing out of her nostrils.
"All right, I'll help you guys find him." Peja said nervously.
Chomper, meanwhile, had wandered off from the others. While Littlefoot and his friends were kind to him, many of the Great Valley children were wary of him since he was a Sharptooth. If the other Leaf Eaters didn't want him around, then he wasn't going to continue to stay in their company. It began to rain again. "Just great!" Chomper moaned. He needed to find someplace dry.
He spotted a copse of trees ahead; they should be able to keep him dry.
He thought he heard something moving nearby. Before he could run, two Sharpteeth, a Horned Sharptooth and a Plated Sharptooth, came running into sight from different directions. He wondered how they had gotten in. However, he had more important things to deal with at the moment to waste time wondering how they had gotten in. The two began to chase him, snapping at him and snarling. Get away from me! he shouted at them.
What's a young Strongbiter like you doing in the Great Valley? the Horned Sharptooth asked him.
Just wandering around. Chomper lied. How did you get in here?
Probably the same way you did, through the gap in the Great Wall that was made from that Earthshake. the Horned Sharptooth replied.
You'll make a tasty snack! the Plated Sharptooth said, snapping at him and failing to bite him.
No, I don't think I will. Not as good as full-grown Flatteeth anyway. he replied.
Full-grown Flatteeth? the two big Sharpteeth asked.
Yep, they know you're here, but they don't know about me. Chomper lied.
How would you know that they know we're here? the Plated Sharptooth inquired.
Because, I taught myself their language.
A likely story! laughed the Horned Sharptooth.
"I can talk Leaf Eater." he said.
Wow, he can speak their language! the two older Sharpteeth gasped in astonishment.
Now do you believe me?
Yes. Can you take us to the full-grown Flatteeth?
Yes, I can.
Meanwhile, Littlefoot and the others had left with Peja to go look for Chomper. With difficulty, they had safely made it across the Sinking Sands without falling in or being noticed by the grownups. Topps and Mr. Thicknose, who were assigned to watch the kids, had gotten into an argument, enabling the children to sneak past. "Where do you think Chomper went?" Peja asked.
"I do not know. If I knew where he went, I would go and look for him there." Ruby replied.
"Is that him over there with those two Sharpteeth?" Peja asked, pointing toward Chomper, the Horned Sharptooth, and the Plated Sharptooth.
"Chomper!" Littlefoot gasped, recognizing his friend.
"What is he doing with them? He could get eated, he could." Ducky said in alarm.
"How did Sharpteeth get in?" Peja gasped.
"Me not sure, but they in all right." Petrie replied.
"Perhaps he helped them get in." Peja suggested.
"Chomper wouldn't do that. Oh no, no, no." Ducky replied.
"Then what is he doing?" asked Peja.
"I'm not sure. I think he's in trouble." Cera replied.
"He's a Sharptooth. He can get himself out of trouble." Peja argued.
"We've got to find a way to help him." Ducky said.
"What could we possibly do, besides get eaten?" Peja scoffed.
"Come on!" Littlefoot said.
"If we get eaten, I'm never going to forgive you." Peja remarked.
Chomper could smell his friends coming; he didn't want them to get eaten. I got to thinking, how do you plan to take on the full-grown Flatteeth? They tend to fight back hard. He quickly said, hoping to distract the Sharpteeth so that they didn't catch the scent of his friends.
We were hoping that you could lead us to a small group of them. the Horned Sharptooth replied.
I can. Chomper lied. He tried to lead them away from his friends; however, much to his annoyance, he found that his friends were following him. "Why are you following me?" Chomper said aloud.
Why are you talking in the language of the Leaf Eaters? the Plated Sharptooth asked him.
Practicing it. I am pretty good with the words but don't want to sound stupid. If I get it right, I can lure them into a trap. You said you only wanted to take on a small group, right? he lied.
Littlefoot and his friends, meanwhile, had heard Chomper talking to them. "Do you think he doesn't want us to follow him?" Ducky asked.
"Perhaps he's up to no good." Peja suggested.
"No, I think he knows that if we follow him, the Sharpteeth will find us and eat us, so he doesn't want us to follow him so that the Sharpteeth won't find us and eat us." Ruby replied.
"So how is he going to lose the Sharpteeth then?" Peja asked.
"I'm not sure and I'm not sure Chomper's sure either, but I'm sure he'll think of something." Ruby reassured him. Chomper went out of sight with the two Sharpteeth.
Soon, Littlefoot and his friends came across Ali and Rhett. "There you guys are. Sharpteeth have broken into the Great Valley!" Littlefoot said to them.
"We know. We saw them. They got in the from the Earthshake." Ali replied.
"Told you it not Chomper that let them in." Petrie said to Peja.
"We need to go after Chomper." Littlefoot said.
"But he just told us to not follow him." Cera sighed.
"Then we shouldn't. That Strongbiter is nothing but trouble." Rhett said.
"I agree." Peja nodded in agreement.
"We're going to help Chomper!" Littlefoot snapped.
"Why should I?" Peja and Rhett both snapped.
Littlefoot opened his mouth to argue but paused; he heard the familiar screeching sound of Screech of the Fast Biter.
"What is that?" Ali asked.
"That was Screech's screech. He must be in the Great Valley!" Ruby replied.
"Screech? You mean the Fast Biter that travels with Red Claw?" Ali asked.
"I'm afraid so." Littlefoot said.
"Do you think that Thud and Red Claw are here too?" Ali asked.
"I'm not sure." Littlefoot replied.
"I think we should go tell the grownups." Rhett said.
"That is a good idea." Ruby replied. However, before they could go looking for the grownups, Red Claw, flanked by Screech and Thud, came into sight, roaring and snarling, his red and yellow eyes glaring at them menacingly. "On second thought, RUN!" she yelled.
The group ran as Red Claw, Screech, and Thud chased after them. "Should we split up? It would be harder for them to get us if we did that." Peja asked.
"Good idea!" Rhett replied, taking off from the others.
"Rhett, come back!" Ali yelled after him. Peja took off as well.
"While splitting up makes it harder for Red Claw to find us, it also makes it harder for us to find us." Ruby sighed.
Screech took off after Rhett and Peja while Red Claw and Thud continued to pursue the others. "Should we go find them or try and get the grownups?" Ali asked Littlefoot.
"I think we should find them first. It won't do us any good if we get the grownups and they get eaten in the meantime."
Meanwhile, Chomper was leading the Sharpteeth around the Great Valley. He didn't want to lead them to the grownups, at least not while he was with them. That might give the grownups the impression that he was helping the Sharpteeth, which he didn't want. While he tried to think of ways to have the grownups defeat the Sharpteeth without the Sharpteeth knowing it and without the Great Valley residents thinking he was betraying them in favor of the Sharpteeth, he lead the two around the Great Valley, taking the long way on every route in order to stall as long as possible.
Where are those Flatteeth you promised? the Horned Sharptooth asked impatiently.
Maybe they got eaten by Sharpteeth that beat us to it. the young Strongbiter joked nervously.
I don't find you funny! snapped the Plated Sharptooth.
Ok, bad joke. I think I know where they are. Flatteeth are pretty stupid normally but they seem to not be at their usual spots. he said.
He took the Sharpteeth near Ali's herd. They looked down on them from atop a cliff. That doesn't look like a small group of Flatteeth! the Horned Sharptooth grumbled.
They looked small from up here. Chomper laughed nervously. The two Sharpteeth were not amused.
You're useless! the Horned Sharptooth snapped. She seized Chomper and threw him off the cliff. Chomper thought that he was done for However, as luck would have it, he neared a branch, and, though his arms were short, he was still able to reach out and grab the branch of a tree that, luckily for him, was in his path and grab on. The Longnecks turned and stared at him.
"Sharpteeth! Over there!" he cried, pointing up at the Horned Sharptooth and the Plated Sharptooth.
Meanwhile, Ruby, Spike, and Ducky were running from Red Claw, who was several feet behind them and quickly gaining on them. SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! Red Claw snapped so close to Ruby that his breath hit her back. "Yuck, Sharptooth breath!" she gagged. SNAP! He snapped so close that he snagged one of her arm feathers, pulling it off. He tore the feather to bits and then spat it out in disgust for it tasted awful. "Yikes!" she cried. As Red Claw neared again, she hastily grabbed a stone and threw it toward his open mouth. It hit one of his teeth, splintering off a part of the tooth! RNNNNNH! Red Claw snarled in pain and anger. Luckily for Ruby, the attack on Red Claw had kept him distracted long enough for her and the others to hide in a crevice, out of the reach of his small arms.
Littlefoot, meanwhile, had found Peja and Rhett. He now needed to find Ruby, Cera, Ducky, Ali, Spike, and Petrie. Screech was close behind the three of them, snapping and snarling. "Over here ugly!" Peja yelled at the Fast Biter. Screech jumped up at snapped at Peja several times, always missing him; the Deinonychus soon tired of wasting his time on the Flyer and turned his attention to the two Longnecks.
"Why did you lead him to us? We were doing just fine avoiding him on our own!" Rhett grumbled.
"It's best if we stick together."
"Where's Ali?"
"Not sure."
Ali, Petrie, and Cera, meanwhile, were running from Thud. "Where are Rhett and Littlefoot?" Ali asked.
"I don't know. I'm too busy trying to lose Thud at the moment." Cera replied.
As Thud approached Ali, she smacked him in between the eyes with her tail. RNNNNNN! The Fast Biter snarled in pain. "Go away you rockhead!" she snapped. Thud, however, did not go away. All ran from Thud and she had put a good distance between herself and the Fast Biter. However, as she neared Littlefoot, Rhett, and Peja, her foot made contact with a rock and she nearly twister her ankle. She fell face forward and hit the ground. Thud, angry and hungry, moved to attack; however, before he could reach her, he was distracted by Petrie, who flew around his head.
"Hey, me over here!" Petrie taunted him. Thud snarled at Petrie and swatted at him with his claws.
"Ali!" Rhett called.
"Rhett?"
"Over here Ali!"
Ali began to run toward Rhett, but Screech suddenly blocked her path, having vaulted a bush to get at her. "Ahhhhh!" she yelled. She turned and ran from Screech. However, much to her horror, Thud was coming at her from the other direction. "Oh no!" Ali curled herself into a ball and rolled out of the way at the last second; Screech and Thud collided and fell over. Ali, laughing at the two Fast Biters, got up and ran toward Rhett.
"Have you guys seen Ruby?" Littlefoot asked Rhett. Rhett shook his head.
Meanwhile, Red Claw still continued to try and reach Ruby and her friends. "Get away!" Ruby yelled.
"Oh, I do not like this, oh no, no, no! Red Claw is getting nearer and nearer to us!" Ducky moaned.
Ali spotted Red Claw trying to get into the crevice and quickly deduced that Ruby and her friends were in there. "Hey ugly, over here!" she yelled. Red Claw turned and stared at her for a few seconds, then resumed trying to get at Ruby and the others. He didn't see what harm a Longneck child could do to him.
Ali spotted some smooth rocks and used her tail to swat them at Red Claw like tennis balls; the attack distracted Red Claw long enough for Ruby, Ducky, and Spike to move out of the crevice and run to safety. Ali ran as Red Claw charged toward her.
Meanwhile, Ali's herd and Chomper couldn't locate the Horned Sharptooth and the Plated Sharptooth. "Looks like they got away." Chomper sighed.
"They can't have gotten too far." said Ali's mother.
"Ali, Rhett, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Ruby, and Peja are still out there, though." Chomper replied.
"They're what?!" Ali's mother gasped.
"Rhett was away from the others when you guys came; Ali went back to get him. I also saw Littlefoot and his friends about. I think they were looking for me."
"Why did you leave the Sheltering Grass?" the Old One asked.
"Peja was being mean to me and I wanted to be alone."
"Where did you last see Littlefoot and his friends?" asked the Old One.
"Were Ali and Rhett with them?" Ali's mother asked.
"I didn't see them. I smelled them and told them to stay away. I didn't smell Ali and Rhett with them though."
"We need to find the young ones. They are in danger!" the Old One said.
"I can smell them out for you." Chomper offered. However, that turned out not to be necessary, for Ali, Rhett, Peja, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, and Ruby arrived a few seconds later, panting and out of breath.
"There you children are! We were just going to go looking for you!" Ali's mother exclaimed.
"Mother, Red Claw, Screech, Thud, and two other Sharpteeth got into the Great Valley!" Ali cried.
"Red Claw's in the Great Valley?!" Ali's mother gasped.
"Yes, he must have gotten in with the others. I bet that that Earthshake broke a hole In the Great Wall." Rhett replied.
"How did you young ones slip away from the Sheltering Grass? Mr. Thicknose and Mr. Threehorn were supposed to be watching you." the Old One asked Littlefoot.
"It was easy to get past them. They were so busy arguing with each other that they didn't notice us." Peja replied.
"We need to find the Sharpteeth before they hurt someone." Ali said.
"I can smell them out." Chomper offered. He sniffed the air. "I can smell them all together." he reported.
"Where are they going?" the Old One asked.
Chomper sniffed again a few times. "Their scent seems to be moving away from us. They're headed toward the Sheltering Grass." he replied, turning pale.
"I'm afraid all five of them will be too much for Mr. Thicknose and Mr. Threehorn to handle by themselves. This was only a drill after all. We didn't expect the real thing to happen." Ali's mother said.
Mr. Thicknose and Mr. Threehorn, meanwhile, were still arguing. The paused as they heard the Sharpteeth coming.
"What's that?" asked Mr. Thicknose.
"Not sure. "Mr. Threehorn replied.
"Let's go check it out."
The two headed toward the source of the sound. To their shock and horror, the two adult Leaf Eaters found that it was five Sharpteeth: Red Claw, Screech, Thud, the Plated Sharptooth, and the Horned Sharptooth. Though Sharpteeth didn't usually work together outside of their own kinds, they were all interested in getting to the nearest supply of easy prey that they could: the children in the Sheltering Grass.
"Sharpteeth!" the two gasped.
"How did they get in?" Topps asked.
"No idea."
"Never mind how they got in! They're headed for the children and we've got to stop them!"
"The Sinking Sands should slow them down."
"It might slow them down but they'll find a way to cross it eventually if we don't stop them."
While Red Claw, the Plated Sharptooth, and the Horned Sharptooth fought Mr. Thicknose and Topps, Screech and Thud began looking for a way to cross the Sinking Sands and get to the children by the Sheltering Grass.
"It's Fast Biters! There're Fast Biters coming!" a Swimmer child cried, pointing at Screech and Thud.
"How did they get in?" a Clubtail child asked.
"Maybe they climbed the Great Wall." suggested a Shieldback child.
"You idiot, they can't climb the Great Wall! It's too big!" laughed the Swimmer.
"At least they can't get over here. The Sinking Sands are in the way." the Shieldback child remarked.
However, Screech and Thud began to hop across. The children began to panic. However, Screech and Thud were suddenly distracted by Petrie and Peja, who began to fly around their heads.
Go away Beakheads! Thud snapped, swatting at them with his claws.
You Rockheads know they don't know Sharptooth. Screech and Thud turned around. It was Chomper.
It's the Little Biter! Screech said to his brother.
Stop calling me little! Chomper grumbled.
Try and stop us you tiny-armed little punk! Thud taunted him.
That's it! Chomper snapped. He flew into a rage and began to hop across the rocks to get at Thud.
Ducky watched from a distance. "Oh no, Chomper has gotted mad at Thud." she said to Petrie.
"What he say me wonder." Petrie replied.
"I do not know but it has made Chomper very angry."
Chomper leaped through the air and bit Thud in the tail. Ouch! Get off you stinking Strongbiter! Thud snapped. He eventually shook Chomper loose. The young Sharptooth went flying and landed in the Sinking Sands. He flailed his arms, starting to sink. Screech, and Thud, meanwhile, made their way toward the children in the Sheltering Grass.
A tail reached out into the Sinking Sands and Chomper grabbed it. It was Rhett. He pulled Chomper safely to shore. "Thanks Rhett." Chomper said.
Meanwhile, Red Claw, the Horned Sharptooth, and the Plated Sharptooth were distracted as Littlefoot and Ali ran by them underneath their legs. They bent down to snap at them but missed. This change of focus allowed Mr. Threehorn and Mr. Thicknose to knock them over. The three got up again but soon noticed that Mr. Thicknose and Mr. Threehorn were no longer the only two adults there. Ali's mother, the Old One, Grandpa Longneck, and Grandma Longneck had also arrived.
Screech and Thud, meanwhile, had made it to the Sheltering Grass and were about to attack the children. However, they didn't have the chance for Petrie and Peja quickly flew around their legs carrying vines and tied them up, causing them to trip and fall over.
They were soon able to bite their way free of the vines, but the delay had given enough time for the adults to start heading toward the Sheltering Grass. Figuring that it was best to flee rather than try and eat the children and risk getting killed by the adults, the two Fast Biters took off empty-handed. Similarly, Red Claw, the Horned Sharptooth, and the Plated Sharptooth were forced back by Mr. Threehorn, Mr. Thicknose, Grandma Longneck, Grandpa Longneck, Ali's Mother, and the Old One. The three big Sharpteeth turned and fled.
The adults chased Red Claw, Screech, Thud, the Horned Sharptooth, and the Plated Sharptooth until they were past the hole in the Great Wall that Ali and Rhett had found. Once the Sharpteeth were back in the Mysterious Beyond, the adults sealed the opening with rocks so that the predators couldn't get back in.
"Ha, those Sharpteeth won't be coming back anytime soon." Cera said.
"Glad that you Longnecks showed up." Mr. Threehorn said.
"Yes. And from now on, even during drills, we should have more than two adults present in case the real thing happens." Mr. Thicknose said.
"It takes all sorts, to have fun and play." Ali began to sing.
"It takes all sorts, to save the day." Peja sang.
