Twilight Valley: Blood Ruby is a spinoff of Serris's Twilight Valley.

Plot summary
An massive army of fast-biters, sickle-claws and sharpteeth are planning an attack on the Great Valley. It is up to Blue-Scale, Raptix, Deimos, Ruby and Littlefoot to stop them before they can get into valley.

Chapter 1: A Sharptooth's Calling
This story belongs to Serris, the rightful of owner Twilight Valley, Blue-Scale, Deimos and any weapons used. It is rated T for Sequences of Intense Violence and Strong Language. Only character I own that appears in this story, is my character Gloria. This story, since it is a spinoff happens at the exact time as the original, but won't be exactly the same.

It is a dark and stormy night, and a young fast-runner named Ruby, about 24, is seen sleeping alone, several dark figures can be seen moving through pitch-black night. They come up over a ledge, and quitely begin to sneak up close to her, they slowly go to grab her, and kill her. They are spotted by Pterano, who just happened to be flying over.

He yells angrily down, "You damn fast-biters! What have I told you about come into are valley?!" Ruby wakes up quickly, picks up her knife, and sees the four fast-biters standing infront of her. She quickly picks up her bag of supplies, and spear, the fast-biters begin chasing her. One of them yells, "Catch her! Tear her to pieces!" Pterano sees that the fast-biters are chasing her, he says, "Damn it!"

Then he flies off to get Blue-Scale and Deimos, he disappears into the dark night sky. Ruby comes to a forked path, one goes up, and the other keeps going strait, she runs down the one that goes strait, the fast-biters come to it also. The smell to see which way she went, and one of them says, "She we went that way" They run down the path that Ruby ran down.

She goes to run away, but she stops with a numb feeling going up her spine when sees the four fast-biters approaching her with hungry looks on their faces. They hear a voice yell, "Hey! You damn bastards!" They all turn around, and find themselves staring at Blue-Scale, Deimos and four other fast-biters, Blue-Scale says, "If you bastards think that you are going to kill one of my friends, well, Damn it, your wrong. Dead wrong..."

They group of of fast-biters approach the ones that attacked Ruby, Blue-Scale pulls out one of his knifes, and charges towards it, he knocks it the ground. As the fast-biter tries to push him away, her forcibly tries to push the knife down to the fast-biter. He pushes harder, the fast-biter's arm snaps, and he stabs the knife into it's throat. The Fast-Biter gives out a faint scream, begins bleeding, then dies. Blue-Scale pulls his knife out of the Fast-Biter's throat, and runs back to his friends.

He tosses the blood-soaked knife down, and picks up his spear, he gets the second fast-biter, which is sickle-claw, in his site. When it leasts expects it, he quickly throws the spear, it violently hits the sickle-claw in the chest, and comes out the other side. The sickle-claw collapses to the ground, and the spear slides through it's body. Blue-Scale walks up, and pulls it out, he just walks away from.

Deimos, who has snuck up to the cliff, jumps down from above with his knife, falls down on the fast-biter, and violently stabs it into it's neck, killing it. He pulls the knife out of it's throat, and blood sprays on his face and chest. Blue-Scale spots the last fast-biter trying to escape, he quickly grabs another of his spears.

Blue-Scale violently throws the spear, it hits the fast-biter's leg with a sickening crack, and goes straight into it's bone. It lets out a painful scream, Blue-Scale walks towards it with an angry look on his face. He gets behind it, jumps on it's back, and begins choking it, his friends walk up and they catch him. He pushes against its neck, and he can feel the bones coming loose. He grabs its head, twists hard, and they all hear a sickening crack, then the fast-biter drops dead, bleeding from the mouth.

Blue-Scale walks over to an exausted Ruby and says, "Ruby... are you okay?" She responds in a nervous, and tired voice, "Yeah, I'm fine." Deimos says, "Damn it... Ruby. I told you not sleep out in the open like that! It's guys like those to that are the reason why your the only of your kind in this valley that! Those sick bastards probaly killed the rest in their sleep and...." Blue-Scale cuts him off, "...they were about to make you their next meal, if it wasn't for Pterano happening to be there, you'd probaly be in pieces right about now."

Pterano flies down and asks, "Ruby are you fin...." She snaps back, "Damn it! Yes, I'm fine, why do people keep asking me?" Blue-Scale just stairs at Ruby with a shocked expression that she actually cussed, then he says, "I think I know why they attacked." Ruby asks, "Why?" "Exidium wants to kill you, Littlefoot, Ali, Chomper, us and the others for revenge after what happened at Cloud Island. So he's sending his best, but he dosen't know how good my best is."

The screen fades black, and the introduction song "Guilty" by The Rasmus begins.

Wohooooo Empty Yeaaaaaah You know how to make me feel Guilty... Wohooooo So guilty... Empty Wohooooo So empty... You know how to make me feel

The next day, and the whole valley is gathered at their normal meeting spot, along with Strut, who recently left Claw Valley to join the the Great Valley leaf eaters. Chompers parents have also found their way to the Great Valley, are there to mainly protect the children. Blue-Scale is up on a rock talking, "Last night, there was fast-biter attack, and Ruby was almost killed. My guess is they were sent by Excidium to kill the children, me and my friends, but they were the ones that ended up getting killed, that means for now on, at night, all the children sleep in Ruby's cave, NO expections!"

All of the children in the crowd begin mumbling, but their parents quiet them, and he continues, "Chompers parents will sleep right at the entrance of the cave, and during the day watch them when ever they are playings games and where every they go." Cera, in her usual cocky voice says, "What are they going to follow us even when we are going to the...." Tria instantly cuts her off, "Cera!"

Blue-Scale hears her and says, "Yes, but they won't be watching you, they make you hide in a bush, and one of them will be close by." Cera whispers very quietly so her parents don't hear her, "Great, fucking great." Blue-Scale continues, "I've called you all here for a meeting, ONLY the adults, kids you can go play."

The kids and Chomper's parents leave the meeting area, but their parents, even though Chomper's are with them, still watch as their kids walk away. While they are playing, Cera comes to a mysterious cave, and says, "Hey guys! Get over here! I found something." The gang comes running over, and luckily Chomper's parents didn't hear Cera or see them running.

Littlefoot says, "What is it?" Cera says, "Damn it, Littlefoot. What's it look like to you?" Littlefoot responds, "An abandoned cave, why?" Cera angrily responds, "Why? Were going to go explore it, that's why. Running around a small field playing tag is so damn boring, I'd rather play hide and seek in a cave, than have two sharptooth watch me run around all day, besides I was told that it's safe in there, so damn it, that's why I'm gonna do."

Petrie nervously responds, "Ok... okay." They begin to head into the cave, Petrie is whining nervously the whole time. Cera says, "Petrie, stop whining, there's nothing in here. Besides, how could those bastard fast-biters get past Chomper's parents?" Chomper says, "She's got a point. My parents have a good sense of smell, even for a sharptooth." Ruby says, "Yeah, but what if they get into the cave before Chomper's parents can catch them? Then what are we going to do? If they can see us, they'd smell us out."

Littlefoot says, "Yeah Cera, if they get in the cave, there'd be no where to run, and they'd tear us to pieces. There wouldn't be anything Chomper's parents could do about it." They all go quiet when they hear a deep hissing outside the entrance of the cave, Cera whispers, "Damn it Littlefoot. I hate it when your right." Littlefoot whispers, "Yeah, so do I. We have to run into the back of the cave, and hope those bastards don't find us."

They all slowly back up, but they see shadows of multiple fast biters outside the cave, and they begin running in a dead sprint to the back of the cave. They head into the darkest shadows of the caves, they remain quiet and competly still. Seven fast biters walk into the cave with very hungry looks on their faces, Littlefoot can hear Cera mumbling, "Oh fuc...." Littlefoot whispers, "Damn it Cera, shut up." The fast biters hear them, and they slowly walk over to the spot their hiding in.

One of of the fast-biters turns around, and lets out a blood curdling scream when a spear with a sharp stone tip goes right into its neck. Deimos throws a knife at another one, and the knife cuts its throat, killing it. Blue-Scale quickly comes up behind the leader, and slits his throat with a knife, the same one he killed the previous leader with.

Blue-Scale looks up, and sees several large boulders on the ceiling of the cave, he picks up a rock from the cave floor, and tosses it at the ceiling of the cave, it hits the boulders, and he yells, "Run Deimos!" They begin running as the rocks begin falling from the ceiling, a large rock falls from the ceiling on to a fast-biter, leaving a bloody mess behind when it rolls out of the way. A sharp rock from above falls down onto another one, and impales it in the side, it lays there, flowing blood from its side.

The other two look up, and an extra large bould collapses down on both of them, leaving a bloody mess of body parts, and inerds. The gang heards something walking to the cave, they hear it come close to where their hiding, then a voice says, "Damn those bastards." They step outside, and they see that it's Blue-Scale.

Deimos asks, "Are you guys okay?" Blue-Scale says, "Or a better question would be, Damn it! What were you thinking, if we hadn't came only, those bastards would've killed you all, but they got what the deserved." He points to bloody messes that used to be fast-biters, Cera says, "Thanks."

Chapter 2:
Blue-Scale says, "How about we get out of this damn cave before their friends show up alright? Besides I doubt any of you would want to stay in a cave with that," again he points to the fast-biters. Cera says, "Your damn right we don't!" She goes running out of the cave, having seen enough blood for awhile. The others follow her, they come to the outer ledge of the cave, they see a large army of Fast-Biters marching towards the valley.

Cera says, "Oh, you've got to be fucking kidding me." Blue-Scale says, "Damn it! Okay, let's get back to the valley and warn everyone, quick. They'll probaly be here in about two or three hours." They begin running as fast as they all can, Cera yells, "Wait!" They all stop and she continues, "How are we going to have time to prepare for that many fast-biters?"

Blue-Scale says, "Well, if we'd be running instead of talking, we'll have a better chance of killing those bastards." The walk through the valley entrance, and decide to tell Pterano about the threat. Blue-Scale says, "Pterano, we got a problem." Pterano asks, "What?" He continues, "There is a large army of fast-biters heading towards the valley, and I need you find as many fliers in the valley as you can, and warn everyone."

Pterano says, "Okay," he flies off towards a cave up in the mountains, Blue-Scale turns to Cera and says, "I hope they can get everyone to the meeting place in time." He looks up, and sees a large flock of fliers heading off into the valley. An hour goes back, and everyone has gathered at the meeting place, Blue-Scale is up on the rock with the gang, "Okay, listen up! We have a large group of fast-biters and sickle-claws heading this way, and we need to get all the weapons ready."

Ruby runs down to join her team, and they all run off to get their weapons. Blue-Scale says, "Okay, Momma and Poppa Sharptooth will keep an eye out at the Great Wall for when they get here. Take Chomper with you, and send him back when they get to the wall." Meanwhile, in Ruby's cave, all of her team in arming themselves with spears, hollow reeds and knifes.

Chomper and his parents reach the Great Wall, and they just stand their keep the fast biters in their site. Ruby's team, armed with their weapons returns to the meeting spot. Ruby says, "Were reading to fight." Blue-Scale says, "Good. Now, those bastards are going to be in for a fight, and I'll be damned if any of them live through it."

Cera, and the other four-legged dinosaurs walk up, and she says, "Blue-Scale, what do you want us to do?" Blue-Scale says, "Damn, Cera. I've already told you, your guys aren't going to fight." Cera says, "Then why's Ruby and Hyp get to fight?" Hyp says, "Cause were older and better than you, well, I'm not sure about Ruby." Cera yells, "Damn you, you damn Bastard!" Blue-Scale says, "Okay! That's enough fighting, save it for those bastards. Hyp, knock it off or I'll let those fast-biters kill you! Got it!"

Hyp whispers, "Bastard." Chomper comes running, "Their here! Their here!" They begin to march to the Great Wall, while marching, Ruby gives out a command, "Okay! Line up in eight rows of six, got it!"

They come to a hill, and the march up it, they come to the top, and they can see the fast-biter herd coming towards them. They begin marching down the hill, and Blue-Scale says, "Show those bastards no mercy!" They come to the bottom of the hill, and they continue marching until the reach the trail that crosses the tar pit.

Ruby, Hyp, Mutt, Blue-Scale, Deimos and Raptix line up in the front, and they others line up in behind them. Blue-Scale yells, "Get ready men!" The fast-biter herd approaches the path, and they get into a straight line. Ruby throws a rock, it hits one of the fast-biters in the head. It falls into the tar, it tries to get to the edge, but just sinks down into the tar, the others just keep marching. Ruby picks up another rock, she aims for another fast-biter at the front of the line.

She throws the rock, she hits it directly in the head, it falls into the tar, then sinks down into the tar. The first five fast-biters get across the bridge, and the herd picks up the stone-tipped spears. More of the army gets across the gap, they all stop once they get to the other side. Blue-Scale yells, "Fight them to the death!" The two herds begin charging, and they run straight into each other.

Ruby runs straight into a large sickle-claw, it tries to grab her by the throat, it misses. She takes her spear, and stabs into in the stomach, she pulls her spear out, and the bleeding sickle-claw drops dead. He runs over to a fast-biter, pulls out her knife, and stabs it in the throat. Another one comes up behind her, but she turns around quickly, swings her knife at it, blood sprays across her face and chest.

She sees that her knife sliced it's throat, she gets up, picks up her spear, and runs into a crowd of sickle-claws along with Blue-Scale and Deimos. Deimos pulls out one of the hollow reed, and blows into it. A dart with poison shoots out of it, and hits a fast-biter in the neck, blood begins pouring from it's mouth, then it collapses.

Ruby says, "Damn! What's on those things?" Deimos says, "The poison from stinging buzzers. Its more than enough to take down a few fast-biters and sickle claws." A fast-biter charges at her, and she just stabs it in the gut with her stone-tipped spear, she pulls the spear out, and sees the arrow came out, she yells, "Damn it!" She tosses it aside, and charges the first one she sees with her knife, she knocks it to the ground, and slices its throat.

The remaining twenty fast-biters just stare at how many they killed, the rest of Ruby's heard shows up, about fourty runners and fast-runners. A large sickle-claw comes up behind them, and....

Chapter 3:
It raises it's sharp claws back, grabs one of the runners on the back, tosses him to the ground, and sinks its sickle-claw into the poor runner's neck, killing it. Ruby takes Blue-Scale's spears, yells, "Damn it! Damn you bastard!" She runs straight towards it, she lifts the spear up, but it grabs the spear. Blue-Scale runs up, and jumps onto it's back, distracting it. Ruby quickly stabs the spear into it's chest, she pulls it out, and the fast-biter drops dead in a pool of blood.

They turn around, and find themselves surrounded by fast-biters, Ruby yells, "Fight the bastards to death Blue-Scale!" Ruby and Blue-Scale charge towards the fast-biters with their spears, and they begin stabbing fast-biters left and right. Ruby stabs one that comes up behind her, it says, "Damn it," then collapses. Deimos joins them, and they turn around, and find out that they've killed all but three of the army.

Hyp, and Raptix join them armed with spears, Raptix throws a spear, and it goes right through the chest of a fast-biter, the other two try an run away, but Ruby catches one of them, and slits it's throat with her knife. Blue-Scale jumps onto the back of another and sticks his spear straight throw its back, he pulls the spear out, and tosses it to the side.

Blue-Scale says, "Well, we did it. Now lets get out of here, and tell the others." Back at the meeting, Blue-Scale says, "We managed to kill all of the army, but one of our own was killed, a runner that resembles him." Hyp's dad says, "That was his cousin, Sil" Raptix says, "Well, let's just hope that they don't attack again, the battle really took it out of me, Blue-Scale, Ruby, Hyp and Deimos."

The next day, Ruby is laying down on a rock bed in her cave, with a large gash down her leg. Apparently one of the fast-biters had clawed her in the leg, and she didn't notice. Gloria is applying some of the sickle-claw pod's past to the cut, it has been bleeding ever since she woke up. Gloria takes a small hand full of the past, and gently rubs it across the cut.

Ruby feels a sharp pain in her leg when Gloria starts rubbing the past on and says, "Damn it, that hurts." Blue-Scale walks into the cave, and says, "Well, that was the first attack on the Great Valley, so I guess that this means the great war has been. Everyone of those bastards is going to pay for what they have done, especially to you, Ruby."

Ruby says, "Okay, but what are we going to do? I don't think that there are enough two-footers in the valley to fight all those fast-biters and sickle-claws." Littlefoot and Cera walk in and Littlefoot says, "Yeah, but there is the Yellow Bellies in Berry Valley." Cera says, "Damn it, Littlefoot. They barely know how survive by themselves. How could the fight a war? They'd be the worns torn to pieces, not the biters." Littlefoot says, "Okay, what about that herd of Egg-Stealers in the Land of Mists? I saw them a few miles outside the valley, we could get Blue-Scale, Deimos and Raptix to go see them, and ask if they want to help us when the war."

Blue-Scale, "Yeah, but what if they don't listen?" Littlefoot says, "That's why I'm sending you guys, and Cera..." Cera cuts him off, "What!" He continues, "You guys can get anyone to listen." Cera says, "I don't think that's such a idea Littlefoot." Littlefoot says, "What, you think that a herd of eggeaters could handle three fast-biters and you?" Blue-Scale says, "Fine, we'll. But we're taking weapons with us, we don't know if they listen or attack us."

The next morning...

Blue-Scale, Cera, Raptix and Deimos are just crossing over the outer rim of the valley, once at the top Cera says, "Damn. How much long do we have to go." Deimos says, "Not much longer, we just have to climb down to the bottom of this is wall, then we have to talk to the egg-stealer herd, and get back to the meeting place." They begin their walk down, but Raptix trips over a rock, falls into the other three, and they all roll to the bottom of the hill.

Cera says, "Damn it, Raptix! Next time your walk at the front, that way if you trip, we won't pay for it too." They all look up and see the egg-stealer herd staring at them, Blue-Scale says, "Hi. I'm sure you that there is large army of fast-biters, sickle-claws and sharpteeth headed straight this valley." They don't say anything, he continues, "We need your help to fight them, after the first attack we'll need your help. Their leader is Ozzie..."

The leader of the herd cuts him off, "Ozzie! That bastard, if he's invloved, we're going to help, right?" The hear nods their heads in agreement, Blue-Scale continues, "If you help us, we'll tell you a few good spots in the Great Valley you can stay at, but you can't eat any eggs in the valley, sorry." The leader says, "We won't do it for eggs, we'll do it for revenge. That bastard Ozzie almost got half of this herd killed when Red-Claw attacked it, we kicked him out, along with his brother Strut out of the herd. The wierd thing was, Strut never cared for eggs, he was always trying to eat plants and berries."

Strut walks up behind the group, then steps up to the egg-stealer herd and says, "I'm in on this war too, I am going to kill that bastard for betraying this herd. He's just lucky no one was killed in the attack." Blue-Scale says, "Follow us over that wall there, and we'll take you to the meeting space, where we'll discuss the plan with the others." Deimos asks, "Are there any females in your herd?" The leader asks, "Why?" He continues, "We'll need them to stay behind and take care of the injured, we have one injured Fast-Runner that needs someone to watch her while fight."

A female walks up and asks, "Well, what's wrong with her?" Raptix says, "She was attacked by a fast-biter, and it left a large tear in her leg, she can fight." She says, "You mean she was a fighter?" Blue-Scale says, "Yeah, we didn't even train her, and she killed half of the fast-biters, and three sickle claws that attacked us. She didn't even know about the wound until I told her. So will you and the other females watch her, and make sure she dosen't get anything in the cut." She says, "Sure, let's go."

A few minutes later at the meeting spot...

Blue-Scale is up on his normal spot speaking to the remaing members of his army and the egg-stealer herd, "Okay, here's the plan. We stand all along the wall of the valley over there, and when those bastards come, we charge ‘em, and make them pay for what they did last time. Only blood I expect being shed with this many numbers is the fast-biters." They all start cheering, and all the females of the group run off to the cave to watch Ruby.

A half hour goes by, and all of the army is armed, and they are standing across the outer-rim of the valley.

Blue-Scale spots the herd march over a rocky part of the desert and yells, "Their coming! They'll be hear in about a half-hour! Be ready for them! Give the bastards everything you've got!"
