The Land Before Time The Rise Of Darkclaw

A full grown adult male sharptooth was hunting. He had blue scales and red eyes. He was about 45 feet long. His name was Chomper. He used to be friends with Littlefoot and Co.. But that time was long past. He would never hurt anyone in the Great Valley, but he needed meat, because he had more then one mouth to feed.

His mate was guarding their clutch of eggs, only 5. He spotted a herd. He got into a bush, Chomper scanned the herd for a week individual. He spotted an older male. He had wrinkly scales and tired eyes. He had the circle like crest on his head.

Chomper chose him. He then decided to seperate and mix up the herd. Chomper let out a bloodcurdling roar and charged. "Sharptooth!" The herd screamed. He charged out and saw the old male limping towards the forest. He continued to pick up speed. The male knew he was the target. He tried to run as fast as he could.

The old hollowhorn yelled. Chomper was feet away. Chomper grabbed the old dinosaur by the neck and picked him up. Chomper applied pressure. The old corythosaurus lost his breath. Chomper then pulled back. The old dinosaur fell to the ground, dead. The rest of the herd fled. Chomper knew he had a meal. Chomper picked up the dead meal, and carried it to his nest where his mate was with the eggs.

Chomper approached a canyon. He walked through the canyon. He eventually found his nesting site hidden behind a part of the gorge. His mate looked up at him. "Hey your back! I see you caught something for once Chomper." His mate said happily. "This old guy wasn't hard. I knew that when our babies hatch, they would need food." Chomper told his mate. His mate had green skin and ocean blue eyes, and a yellow underbelly.

His mate's happy expression turned sad. "What is it Tyranna?" Chomper asked his mate, now identified as Tyranna. "Two eggstealers grabbed four of our eggs." Tyranna said sadly. "They were named Ozzy and Strut." Tyranna continued. Chomper's eyes surged with hate. They kidnapped him as an egg. Now they kidnapp most of his children. They were gonna pay for this.

"They are so dead!" Chomper growled. "You know them?" Tyranna asked. "Yes. They stole my egg before I hatched." Chomper told her. "Then my friends saved me, and then I hatched. I'll always trust them." Chomper continued. Tyranna smiled. She knew about how Chomper was born with leaf eaters.

Chomper nuzzled her, she nuzzled him back. They loved eachother, sharpteeth did not usually have this much love for eachother. Then they heard a cracking sound. Their remaining egg was hatching. The egg was moving. Chomper and Tyranna watched happily.

The egg cracked in a few places. Then the egg was broken when a baby sharptooth poked it's head out of it's shell. It had blue scales, and a white underbelly. A spitting image of a proud father, the baby possesed it's father's scales, but it had it's mother's eyes. "Oh Chomper, he looks just like you!" Tyranna cooed. "Except he has your eyes." Chomper remarked.

Tyranna smiled. Their own hatchling had been born. The baby only had his head free though. "Let's get him out." Said Chomper. Tyranna nodded. Chomper used his claw, and very gently cut the eggshell open. The baby was now completely free. It let out a squeak. Tyranna smiled and nuzzled the baby. "Oh you look just like your father." Tyranna repeated.

"Chomper, come meet your son." Tyranna called. Chomper bent down and nuzzled the infant. He was only a few minutes old, tiny, tiny hatchling. "We should feed him in a little bit." Tyranna remarked. Chomper nodded. The baby was sitting down at the moment. Chomper pulled off a peace of meat and put in front of the infant.

He sniffed it for a minute, then started to eat it. Chomper picked him up gently and put him right next to Tyranna. The sharptooth family began eating. Chomper thought about how good of a father he would be. He was worried about messing his first child's life up. His thoughts were interrupted by a loud roar. One Chomper new all to well...Redclaw!

"Oh no! Chomper he's only five minutes old! We can't defend him! I don't want to lose our only child to that monster!! What are we gonna do?" Tyranna gasped. "Keep the baby safe! I'll deal with Redclaw!" Chomper yelled. "But... I don't want to lose you either!" Tyranna screamed. Tyranna had a tendency under life-death situations to panic.

"I will not risk our baby! Get behind me!" Chomper said. The shadow of Redclaw appeared, accompanied by Screech and Thud's shadows. Chomper tensed for battle. Redclaw's face appeared. He saw Chomper and roared in anger. Chomper roared back. "You die now, traitor!" Redclaw growled. Screech and Thud noticed Tyranna and the hatchling, who was cowering in fright.

Redclaw noticed to. "I see you have a brat of your own now. I think we can't have little Chompers running around can we boys?" Redclaw said evilly. "No sir. They will just be another problem." Screech chuckled. "Hand it over. And we will let you leave alive." Redclaw grinned.

Chomper growled. "Over my dead body!" He spat. "That...can be considered." Redclaw roared loudly and charged at Chomper. Chomper roared back and charged aswell. Redclaw rammed his head against Chomper's head.

Chomper blinked in surprise and charged again. He tried to bite Redclaw. Redclaw dodged and bit again, but missed. Chomper swung his tail and hit Redclaw in the face, disorientating him for just a few precious seconds. Chomper charged and grabbed Redclaw by the neck. Chomper saw Screech and Thud charging at him. Tyranna jumped and grabbed Screech in her mouth and threw him into a rock formation.

Screech yowled as he hit the rock and fell down. Tyranna then grabbed Thud aswell and crunched down. Screech screeched loudly and made a slash across Tyranna's side, leaving a scar. Tyranna roared in pain as Screech jumped again and tried to slice her neck. The raptors were proving a challenge for the female Tyrannosaur.

Chomper lost his grip on Redclaw's neck, Redclaw had a lot of teeth marks on him now. Redclaw then rammed Chomper down. Chomper used his feet to block an attack from Redclaw's head. Chomper kicked back and charged again. This time he caught Redclaw by the throat. Redclaw roared as Chomper bit down. Chomper saw his chance to avenge all who were killed, orphaned, or seperated from their family by Redclaw.

Chomper, with a roar of hatred. Snapped upward. Redclaw winced in pain, and his eyes went blank. Chomper then threw Redclaw to the mouth of the canyon. Redclaw was dead. It was over. He lay dead in the sand. He landed in the sand and the ground shook. There was under Redclaw. Chomper let out a victorious roar. Screech and Thud saw the corpse of Redclaw at Chomper's feet.

Tyranna looked surprised, amazed, happy, and relieved. Screech and Thud abandoned the battle immediatley and fled. Chomper looked at his dead opponent. "REDCLAW'S DEAD!!!!" Chomper roared across the plain. Tyranna ran over nuzzled him. She was crying tears of joy. Chomper then ran over to their hatchling who was hiding. "It's okay. It's over." Chomper reassured the infant. The baby squeaked happily.

Chomper smiled. His family was safe, and he had defeated the strongest, biggest, and meanest sharptooth ever. He knew that there would be peace for a long time. Unbeknownst to him. That was just for now.

The bloody battle would be remembered in the eyes of sharpteeth forever. The sharpteeth herds had come to the site to find Redclaw's corpse. And two adult sharpteeth with their baby. After a celebration, Chomper and Tyranna decided it was time to name their son.

"Hmm. How about Tyrex?" Asked Tyranna. Chomper nodded no." Maybe Chomper Jr?" Tyranna asked again. "No. That would just confuse us." Chomper replied. Chomper had an idea come to him, the perfcet name. "How about Rex?" Chomper asked. "Perfect. Our son will be named Rex." Tyranna agreed. Rex took his first steps. He managed to walk a few feet, but quickly fell.

"Awwww! Who fell over? Who fell over?" Tyranna cooed. "Tyranna, is this really the time to coddle him?" Chomper asked her. Ignoring him, Tyranna gave Rex a lick. He squeaked and licked her back. Tyranna was so proud, their baby would be perfect, he would always be safe. Tyranna thought to herself.

Chomper smiled and picked up his son and placed him on Tyranna's head. Chomper looked at his child. He was so young, so cute, and so very easy prey for other predators. Chomper shuddered at the thought, barely alive for 2 hours, and already had his first brush with death.

Chomper looked at Rex, in a fatherly gaze. "Don't worry Rex. Daddy won't let anything happen to you." Chomper vowed. Tyranna smiled at this, their own son would be safe with them, no predator would dare try to hurt him. Chomper then decided to go to sleep, the bright circle was going down now,

Little Rex looked up at the sky and squeaked fearfully. Chomper knew that a baby like him didn't even know about the day-night cycle. Chomper nuzzled Rex assuringly so he would feel better. Rex squeaked and climbed to his father's head. Rex lay on it. He shivered a little bit. "He's getting cold, lets keep him warm. He'll sleep with you tonight." Tyranna remarked. "Ok. Goodnight my love." Chomper smiled. "Good night Chomper, and Rex." Tyranna said as she lied down.

Chomper slowly crouched down. He pulled Rex next to him. Rex cuddled up to his father. Chomper wrapped his tail up around them. Rex started snoring at that minute. Chomper smiled and started to sleep. Meanwhile, in the Great Valley, Littlefoot and his friends were talking to the herd that Chomper attacked earlier. "That murderous sharptooth! He attacked us for no reason!" A clubtail complained.

"I'm sorry. Was anyone injured?" Littlefoot asked. "Injured? Injured?? That sharptooth killed one of us!" A hollowhorn screeched. "Wow. We never saw a sharptooth directly eat someone." Ducky said fearfully. "Yah. That sharptooth must have been smart." Cera said fearfully. "What did he look like?" Asked Spike, who had learned to speak. "He had a..." The clubtail started to say when Petrie called. "Guys! Guys! Redclaw dead! Another sharptooth killed him!" Petrie yelled happily. "But Redclaw's the biggest, meanest, and most ferocious sharptooth ever!" Ruby said, not willing to believe it.

"But it true! Sharptooth with blue color, and red eyes kill Redclaw!" Petrie continued. "Oh please, only Doc or my dad could do it!" Cera said confidently. "Thats the same blasted sharptooth that attacked us!" A spiketail said. "You mean, the one that attacked you earlier was the one that killed Redclaw?" Littlefoot asked. "It must be. He must be very strong! Lets hope he never comes to the Great Valley." Said Ducky.

"I have an idea! Where did he walk off to after he got one of you guys?" Littlefoot asked. "Over by Windy Canyon. He must live there." Said a swimmer. "Alright. Me an my friends will ambush him. We can sniff for the body. We'll deal with this new guy." Said Littlefoot continued. "Good luck." Said one of the herbivores. Littlefoot and his friends, Tricia, Dinah, and Dana, Tria and Topsy, Hyp, Mutt, Nod, and Guido set off for this sharptooth.

A/N: Ooooh, Littlefoot and his friends are unknowingly after Chomper and his family, this can end in death, or will they recognise eachother before it;s to late.

Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Ruby, Dinah, Dana, and Tricia, Topsy and Tria, Hyp, Mutt, and Nod, and Guido approached the canyon. They could smell blood. And they heard roaring, he was defineltey here. "Uh guys, that sharptooth is probably gonna kill us all. Why don't we leave him be?" Guido asked fearfully. "Because we don't want him to hurt anyone else." Cera said angrily. "Yah. Sharptotoh could hurt us. I don't want another sharptooth like Redclaw..." Petrie started but was shushed by Littlefoot.

They saw a female sharptooth and a hatchling next to eachother. "That must be his mate." Spike whispered. "The baby's probably only a couple weeks old." Littlefoot noticed. "Lets get rid of them, and then deal with the other one." Topsy said. "Wait, we can't just try to kill an innocent sharptooth." Littlefoot warned. "We are gonna have to. We should keep him from growing up, and stop tommorow's predator today." Said Tria. "But he won't grow up by tommorow." Petrie said, confused.

"Its a figure of speech, Petrie." Cera told him. "Oh." Petrie replied. "Alright. I'll handle the adult, go for the baby, Cera," said Topsy as he charged. The female sharptotoh wirled around in surprise, but was rammed down by Topsy. Topsy0/ slashed at her, but she dodged and kicked. "I'm coming mr. Threehorn." Littlefoot yelled and whipped a decisive blow that incapacitated the sharptooth. She fell over and The group had her pinned.

Cera had the infant trapped. She was about ot ram him a huge roar was heard. A huge blue male sharptooth leaped out and grabbed by the horn. He then threw her down. "Cera!" Everyone yelled. The sharptooth opened his jaw to strike. Littlefoot ran over and whipped his tail into the sharptooth. He realed back and charged. Littlefoot whapped him again, this time in the face. The sharptooth then leaped and avoided the attack. The sharptooth then used his own tail to whip Littlefoot. Littlefoot was stunned.

The sharptooth then used his claw to hit Littlefoot. Littlefoot yelled out as the claw left a scar on his eye. He returned the favor by rearing up on his hind legs and crushing the sharptooth. The sharptooth then jumped out of the way and rammed Littlefoot like he did with Cera. Littlefoot tried to get up, but the sharptooth was to strong and kicked him back down. Littlefoot got up, but the sharptooth rammed him so hard that he flew off the ground and landed on his back.

Littlefoot knew he was no match and prepared to die as the sharptooth roared. Then Spike ran to defend his friend. His spikes caught the sharptooth on the leg. The sharptooth roared in pain and tried to bite down. The plates got in the way, and the sharptooth bit on a plate. He pulled back. Spike then whipped again and hit the sharptooth in the side. He roared out and closed in on Spike backed up. The sharptooth then delivered a surprise kick to his side. Spike grunted and got distracted. He grabbed Spike behind the plates and pushed him down.

Spike used his tail to smack the sharptooth on the head. He let go. Cera, Tricia, Dinah, and Dana all charged at once. They knocked him to the ground. Cera tried to kill him again. She left a little gash on his leg. The sharptooth's foot stopped Cera from hurting his chest. The sharptooth kicked and whipped his tail in Dinah's face. Dinah realed back. The sharptooth then got up and smacked Dinah with his tail and rammed him against a wall of rock.

The sharptooth turned around to see Dana charging at him. This sharptooth was very strong, he also seemed to be fueled by adrenaline and love for his family. This drove the sharptooth into anger at whoever attacked his family and he charged full force at them. Then as Dana collided with him, the sharptooth twisted around and whipped Dana to the ground. Dana was out cold.

The sharptooth charged at Cera and Tricia, they were frozen by fear as the sharptooth kicked Cera and rammed them into eachother. They both fell down at the feet of this super-powered sharptooth. He roared angrily and charged at the whole herd, who scattered in fear. The sharptooth didn't attack them, but got infront of his crippled mate and son. He stood there, his teeth bared.

Littlefoot and his friends finally got up and stood strong next to eachother. "This ends now." Said a tired and weakened Cera. The whole group

stood next to them. This sharptooth was still no match for all of them. He stood there and roared. Both of the groups stood there for a few seconds. Ruby saw him and immediatley recognized him. Just when they were about to charge, Ruby got infront of them. "Wait. I know who he is! Don't kill him!" Ruby pleaded. "Oh yah, and how do you know this monster?" Topsy asked. "Littlefoot, you and the others should know. After all... you hatched him." Ruby said.

Everyone's jaw dropped in surprise. "Chomper?" Littlefoot asked fearfully. "I'm sorry, we attacked your family." Littlefoot lowered his head. "Sorry? Sorry! You almost killed them!" Chomper roared. "Hey Chomper, we said we were sorry!" Cera yelled. "Why did you attack us? Why? I oughta kill you all for this!" Chomper roared, his red eyes blazing with anger. Littlefoot cautiously approached. "Look Chomper! We're sorry! What else do you want?" Littlefoot asked, his anger rising. "You out of here! Stay out of my terf!" Chomper growled, still very mad at them.

"It won't happen again Chomper! We'll stay away from here from now on!" Littlefoot promised. Chomper nodded. "Oh please, this stupid sharptooth should still die! He is a threat to my daughters, wife, and niece and nefu!" Topsy yelled. "Topsy! We should respect Chomper's territory! If he doesn't want us here! Then we're leaving!" Tria said angrily. "Hmph! Fine! But only if you stay away from the Great Valley!" Topsy declared. "No way old man!" Chomper laughed outloud.

"Why you little..." Topsy started. "And FYI, I defeated every one of them easily. I could kill you if I want." Chomper threatened. "Fine!" Topsy bellowed and started to walk away. "Bye Ch-Chomper!" Petrie said as he flew away. "Woah! That guy was scary." Nod said. "No duh!" Hyp replied. "What guy?" Mutt asked. Hyp bumped his nose on Mutt's nose. "Oh that guy. Sorry." Mutt replied. "Yah, you should be." Hyp replied.

Littlefoot led the group back to the Great Valley, it was a big battle. Littlefoot had a gash on his side, Cera had a scar between her horns and two gashes on her sides, Spike had a broken plate, and one of his spikes was chipped. Dinah had Black eye and broken off peice of horn, Dana's frill had two vertical scars, and Tricia had a black eye. Chomper did have a wound on his left leg, and he had a down curving scar on the top of his head. Everyone was shaken by this battle.

Chomper was hurt bad. The battle nearly cost him his life, of course, he had been through worse. Tyranna was also hurt, Chomper should have killed them the moment they arrived. Rex however, was terrified of the flatteeth now, and stayed near the nest all the time.

It was definetly a bad week, storms also plagued the region now, his scars healed, but their cuts were visible, he would always keep these momentos of that near death battle. "Chomper." Tyranna asked, snapping Chomper back to reality. "Were they always like that?" She asked.

"No. They were good friends, Littlefoot and Ruby cared about me the most, always making sure I was alright, but what they did crossed the line. I still feel sorry for them though." Chomper recounted. "Why? They attacked us!" Tyranna said angrily.

"They raised me. Littlefoot lost his mother to Sharptooth. Cera lost her mother aswell. Ducky and Petrie lost their fathers, and Spike lost his whole family. They just wanted to keep their remaining family safe, and a sharptooth that killed Redclaw is gonna seem dangerous." Chomper told her. Tyranna's expression softened. "Fine. But if they come back, I'm gonna firmly implant in their memory not to return," she stated.

Rex was crying now. "Hey, hey it's okay Rex, those mean old Leaf eaters won't hurt you anymore." Tyranna comforted. Chomper looked at the sky. Thinking about what other herbivores would do if they discovered the nest. "We should start moving, this nest is no longer safe." Chomper told her.

"But what about Rex? We can't migrate out of here with a one week old baby! He can't be expected to make it out of here at his age!" Tyranna said. "We still have to. He wouldn't last here because of the amount of Fastbiters and herbivores that are after us. We should go." Chomper remarked. "Alright, but we need to always make sure that he is in our sight. I am not going to lose our child." Tyranna replied.

"Neither will I. Let's get out of here!" Chomper replied. "Ok, but we start tommorow, when we will be rested and ready for the journey." Tyranna decided. "Alright, good night." Tyranna said. After sleeping for a long time, they started to begin their journey.

Rex was placed on his mother's head, so he would be safer, and wouldn't wander off. Chomper suddenly heard something, a young sharptooth's cry for help. "Hang on. I need to do something." Chomper told his mate. "But Chomper, where are you going?" Tyranna asked. "I'll be right back. Stay here!" Chomper instructed. "Ok. Just be quick." Tyranna replied.

Chomper began running to the location of the sharptooth's cry. He charged, ready for battle. When he ran around a canyon, he saw a baby green Sailback (Spinosaurus), and baby Bladeback(Giganotosaurus), hiding from a pair of fastbiters. Chomper recognised them as Thud and Screech. "Leave the hatchlings alone!" Chomper growled.

Screech and Thud immediatley recognized Chomper. They growled for a minute, but then ran off. Chomper looked at them and turned to the younger hatchlings. "You kids okay?" He asked them. "Yes sir." Said the Bladeback. "Where are your parents?" Chomper asked them. "Their dead. Redclaw killed them, and we got away. We were friends, so we stayed together." The Sailback said.

"Well, I can take care of you. You'll be safe with me." Chomper told them. They looked at eachother for a minute. He obviously just saved them from Fastbiters, and offered to adopt them. "Deal." The bladeback said. "Thank you sir." The sailback added. "You can call me Chomper. Now follow me." Chomper replied. He began to walk back to where Tyranna was, the two sharpteeth kids right behind him.

Tyranna waited patiently for Chomper to return. Rex sqawked fearfully. "Its okay Rex. Daddy will be back soon." Tyranna encouraged. "I already am." Chomper called. Tyranna turned around, and saw the two young sharpteeth behind him. "I found them all alone in the desert. I decided to adopt them, like my parents adopted you." Chomper said. Tyranna thought for a minute. "Where were their parents?" She asked. "Dead." The bladeback said. "Oh, I'm sorry." Tyranna replied. "Mr. Chomper asked to take care of us, ma'm." The sailback continued.

"Okay. They can come with us." Tyranna decided. "Come on kids." Tyranna told them. "So what are your names?" Chomper asked them. "My name's Giga the bladeback!" The bladeback said. Chomper chuckled. He had called himself 'Chomper, the friendly sharptooth' as a child. "And my name is Spiny." Said the sailback. "He usually calls himself 'Spiny the lame'." Giga chuckled. "Do not!" Spiny denied. "Do to!" Giga replied. "Do not!" "Do to!" "Do not!" "Do to!" "Do not!" "Do to!". Chomper laughed on the inside, they were definetly kids, older then Rex, but younger then adolescents.

"Well atleast I don't call myself the Bladebutt!" Spiny retorted. "Hey! My but isn't bladed!" Giga said embarrased. "But its big!" Spiny laughed back. Giga growled. "Hey kids! Settle down!" Tyranna finally reprimanded. "Sorry." They said simultaeneously. "So what happened to you kids out there?" Asked Chomper. "I'll tell you."

Flashback

Giga and Rex were playing together while their parents were talking. Their parents were good friends growing up so Giga's parents decided to introduce him to Spiny and his parents. They became friends, but also rivals. They always joked with eachother and poked fun at eachother to. Their parents hoped that they would see Giga and Spiny's kids grow up together aswell.

They would never get the chance.

Redclaw approached the group. "Please Redclaw! Don't hurt us. We've done nothing wrong." Giga's dad begged. "You have had hatchlings in my territory. I will suffer no future competition from your brats." Redclaw growled back. "We'll leave. You will suffer no competition! We promise!" Spiny's mom begged. "Yeah. We'll leave tonight." Giga's mom added. "You will leave, and your hatchlings will die!" Redclaw laughed. "I will not allow other sharpteeth to have children. Because one brat of a sharptooth became friends with flatteeth and evaded me!" Redclaw growled.

"No we beg of you!" Spiny's dad cried. "Hand over your last hatchlings now!" Redclaw roared. "But, we can leave tommorow." Giga's mom continued when she saw Redclaw's fastbiters destroying the nest, only two hatchlings left. Giga and Spiny's parents rushed in to defend them. But Redclaw grabbed Spiny's dad and tossed him into a wall, he fell to the ground, dead. Spiny's mom charged again to save her mate. Redclaw whirled around and rammed her. He then grabbed her by the neck.

He then crushed her throat and ran to finish off Giga's parents. He, Screech, and Thud killed them. They were distracted after the parents were killed, that two hatchlings escaped. That was Giga and Spiny's story.

Flashback ended.

Chomper listened to the flashback, realizing how much they were alike. "I'm sorry." Chomper said. "Its okay." Giga replied. "I know how you feel." Chomper replied. "You do?" Spiny asked. "Yes. When I was a young adolescent, Redclaw killed my parents. I found Tyranna, she was just approaching adolescne. I saved her from Screech and Thud." Chomper told them. "You saved me that day, I developed a crush on you ever since." Tyranna admitted.

"So you always had a thing for me." Chomper said smugly. Tyranna turned around embarrasingly, while Giga and Spiny giggled. Tyranna gave them a dirty look. "Sorry." They said again. "What were your parents like?" Spiny asked curiously. "They cared for me. They always protected me and loved me." Chomper said. "Um, how old is your kid?" Asked Giga. "He's just a baby, only a week and a half old." Chomper replied.

"Wow. When he's older, can we play with him?" Asked Spiny. "Sure. He was with me when I killed Redclaw." Chomper replied. "You killed Redclaw?" They asked simultaeneously. Chomper chuckled, he hadn't told them about what happened when Rex hatched. "You must be very strong." Spiny said with admiration. "No duh." Giga replied. Spiny slapped him playfully. "Hey." Giga complained.

"Thats for thinking I am dumb." Spiny laughed. Giga looked at him angrily.

Rex awoke early. He was about 6 months old by now and gained the ability to speak. He adopted noticeable chest muscles like his father and was very adventurous. "Dad. Hey dad, its morning, lets go." Rex said as he dashed to his father. Chomper opened his eye to see his firstborn looking at him with excited blue eyes. "Hey dad, its the day you said you'd take me outside the nest for the first time." Rex explained excitedly. "Oh, it is? Well, lets go." Chomper replied as he stretched and got up.

Rex waited patiently while his father got fully awake. "So you ready?" Chomper asked. "Yah, I can't wait!" Rex replied. Chomper and his son walked out of the canyon. "Everything in this is area, is our territory." Chomper told him. "So this is our home, and we're the only sharpteeth here?" Rex asked. "Yes and no. This is our home, but we are the only large sharpteeth here, the rest are small fast biters." Chomper said.

"So whats a fast biter?" Rex asked. "Fast biters are a smaller variety of sharpteeth, they have large claws on their feet and small heads. Don't think that just because their small, their not dangerous. They probably are the most dangerous sharpteeth." Chomper warned. "How could something so small, be so dangerous?" Rex asked confused. Chomper knew his son was naive but still smart. "They just are dangerous. So if you see one, hide." Chomper warned.

"Okay daddy." Rex replied. "Good boy. Now everything here exists in a delicate balance." Chomper said. "You must respect this balance, and respect all the animals, from the tiny bugs to the numerous flatteeth." Chomper continued. "I thought we ate the flatteeth." Rex said, confused. "Yes, I know. But when we die, our bodies become grass, and the flatteeth eat the grass, so we're connected in the great circle of life." Chomper finished.

"Wow, I never thought about it that way." Rex replied. "But son, as a sharptooth, do not hunt for pleasure, hunt for food." Chomper told him. "But aren't they just dumb food?" Rex asked. "No, they have feelings, and they have children just like you, so you cannot hunt for revenge and pleasure, only for defense and food." Chomper said sternly. "Oh, okay." Rex replied. Chomper smiled down at his son, he was so curious and so nice, but also naive, just like Chomper was when he was young.

Chomper suddenly remembered something, his friends in the great valley. "Hey dad, whats with that shadowy place?" Rex asked noticing the desert nearby. "Thats the boneyard, its where bigger sharpteeth in the area hang out, never go there." Chomper warned. "Okay dad." Rex replied.

"Hey Chomper, Littlefoot want to talk with you." Chomper heard Petrie call from the sky. "Okay, tell him I'll be there after I take my son home." Chomper replied. "Okay Chomper." Petrie called. "Who was that dad?" Rex asked as Petrie flew away. "My friend Petrie, I need to talk with my other friends." Chomper said. "Can I come?" Rex asked. "No son." Chomper said. Rex hung his head sadly. "I just need to see them, they want to talk with me." Chomper replied.

"Lets go home son." Chomper said. "Okay." Rex sighed, Chomper took his son home and told what was going on with them. "I'll be back soon." Chomper said. "OK. Be careful." Tyranna replied. Chomper nodded and walked off. Once he got there, he was greeted by most if not all of the great valley herd.

"Chomper, we need to tell you something." Littlefoot said. "Yes." Chomper replied. "Their was a leafeater massacre nearby, they say a sharptooth your size attacked them." Littlefoot said. "It was him!" Topsy said. "Me? You know I would never attack a leafeater without cause." Chomper defended. "Then why did you attack us in the canyon then?" Topsy asked. "I was protecting my mate and son! You would do the same!" Chomper reminded.

"So your family is more important then us?" Topsy asked. "Yes." Chomper replied. "Then you should die for betraying us!" Topsy said as he prepared to charge. Littlefoot got between them. "Enough of this! Chomper had reason to, so I forgive him. Now back to the leaf eater massacre." Littlefoot said. "As I established, it wasn't me." Chomper said.

"Well you did kill that hollowhorn and other leafeaters." Ducky pointed out. "I did that to feed my family, we have to eat to." Chomper defended. "I know, its hard for us to accept your kinds method of feeding." Littlefoot shrugged. "Any survivors?" Chomper asked. "You should know because your the one who did it." Topsy said. "It wasn't me! I didn't do it, for crying outloud you old bufoon!" Chomper yelled. "Enough Mr. Threehorn!" Littlefoot agreed.

"Yes, their was a young longneck named Amy who survived, she described the sharptooth as a black color with piercing red eyes." Ruby said as she walked over with the traumatized young girl. "I need to go now, my family need's me." Chomper said as he walked off. "Bye, and be careful!" Littlefoot said. Chomper nodded and headed back home. He suddenly heard something screaming: Rex's screaming. "Oh no!" Chomper muttered and ran off to find his son. He got to the area where he saw Rex, Giga, and Spiny trapped by three Fast biters. All were brown.

"Here little biter." The lead fast biter taunted. Rex roared feebly. ""Oh please, pathetic one little biter! Another laughed. Rex roared again, this time for real. Only, it was Chomper's roar. Chomper picked one of the fast biters up and crushed him in his jaws. He then picked up another and threw him into the wall. And rammed the last one. He roared angrily as the two injured raptors ran off. Rex looked happy to see his father, but Chomper shot them an angry glare.

The kids cowered back. Chomper was mad, they had gone off an adventure and got trapped by fast biters, and even went to the place he forbade them from going. "Dad I-" Rex began, "deliberatley disobeyed your father!" Chomper interrupted. "I'm sorry dad." Rex said. "Lets go home!" Chomper said. Rex hung his head in shame. "You were really brave." Giga said quietly. Little did they know, the sharptooth who commited the leaf eater massacre watched angrily.

"Spiny!" Chomper called. Spiny immediatley approached, "yes sir?" Spiny asked nervously. "Take Giga home. I need to teach my son a lesson," Chomper instructed. Spiny nodded. "Come on Giga, Rex, bye." Spiny said. Rex watched as Spiny and Giga walked home. "Rex!" Chomper called angrily. Rex shuddered and walked over. He looked down and saw his father's footprint, three times bigger then him. He walked sadly over. Chomper looked down sadly and angrily. "Rex... you are in big trouble." Chomper said. "I know." He muttered. "You deliberatley disobeyed me. And who's idea to go was it in the first place?" Chomper asked. Rex wanted to lie a moment.

He immediatley banished the thought from his head, not wanting to get into more trouble. "Me." He said quietly. Chomper looked ready to yell at him, but his expression softened. "Son, why did you go?" Chomper asked. Rex looked up, his blue eyes full of shame. "Here, I'll tell you..."

Flashback

''Rex, Giga and Spiny run through the field. ''

''"Yout mother sleeping was the perfect time to go on an adventure." Giga laughed.''

''"Yah, she can be a big lazy biter sometimes." Spiny laughed.''

"Hey, dont say that about my mom!" Rex defended.''

''"If it wasn't for my daddy then you would still be out in the desert!" Rex glared.''

''"Sorry bro." Giga replied.''

''"Yah, so what do you want to do?" Spiny asked.''

''"Lets go to the dusty ashfield!" Rex suggested.''

''"Yah." They said and ran off.''

As they were running, a pack of fast biters jumped out of nowhere.

''"Well look boys, a trio of little biters has come to our lair." Said the first one. ''

Rex backed off.

''"Yah, lets make sure they don't leave!" Said the second one.''

''"Make mine, a hatchling sandwich." The third one laughed.''

The raptors back the kids into a wall.

''"Now for dinner, we have the sharptooth and the bladeback, and for desert, sailback ribs!" The first one suggested.''

The raptors started to drool and closed in.

"Then you came." Rex finished. Chomper looked down. "Being brave, doesn't mean searching for trouble." Chomper said. "But your not afraid of anything right?" Rex asked. "I was today." Chomper admitted. "Really?" Rex asked, thinking his brave, strong, and smart father was invincible. "I thought I might lose my only son." Chomper said. "I guess even dads get scared, huh?" Rex said. Chomper nodded. "But you know something? Rex asked. "What?" Chomper asked as a humorous smile formed on his son's face. "I think the fast biters were even scareder." Rex laughed.

Chomper chuckled. "Because no one messes with me! Come here you!" Chomper said and picked up his son, then giving him a noogie with his claws. Rex laughed and jumped on him. Chomper pretended to fall down and layed on his stomach. "Dad?" Rex asked. "Yes." Chomper asked. "We're pals right?" Rex asked. "Right." Chomper replied. "And we'll always be together right?" Rex asked. "Rex, one day I won't be here. And I need you to carry on in my place." Chomper said. "But...well that be soon?" Rex asked nervously. "No my son, not for a long time." Chomper replied. Rex smiled and nuzzled his father effectionatley.

Chomper smiled, he loved his son. He would never let anything happen to him.

The sharptooth who massacred the leaf eater herd was mad, he heard his henchmen coming. About time, he thought. Then he only saw two of them. He walked out into the eery light that was his lair. He was eluminated by the light, and his appearance would send even Redclaw running, but he wouldn't because he was Redclaw's friend. He was a huge sailback, 69 feet long, 26 feet tall, and his crocodile like jaw was filled with bone crushing, gut shredding teeth. His size was accompanied by a huge ripped sail, and dozens of red scars cutting across his body.

He also had jet black skin, as black as night itself. He had piercing red eyes filled with hatred and anger. His left eye bore a huge scar six feet long, and his right eye was bloodshot and his puples were a deep black, narrowed to slits. His Velociraptor minions walked up fearfully. "Well? Where is Nychus?" Asked Darkclaw, the dreaded sailback. "Dead. Chomper killed him like Redclaw." Said one of the raptors. "Well, my only enemy capable of being a true threat is around huh!"

"I lost my last friend to the same animals that killed Sharptooth, and now Redclaw." Darkclaw cursed in anger. "What about the fact that Chomper has a son?" Said another. Darkclaw suddenly grinned evilly. "We will use Chomper's brat to lure him into a stampede! Get me Daspleto and Taurus!" Darkclaw ordered. "Yes sir!" Said the raptors. Darkclaw's two most trusted lieutenants were going to instigate a stampede to kill his son.

"You wanted to see us my lord." Said a large Daspletosaurus. "Yes Daspleto. You and Taurus will instigate a stampede that will kill Chomper and his brat!" Darkclaw ordered. "Yes sir!" Said a Carnotaurus. "You two must not kill him personally, just chase a herd of flatteeth to that canyon, where his son will be, I have minions talking about it right now!" Darkclaw plotted.

The plan was meticulously calculated. Two fast biters will be talking about the gorge while Rex is playing, his curiosity will lure him in, the stampede will start and Chomper will die saving his son. Darkclaw laughed, it was all going according to plan.

Rex's P.O.V

Rex was exploring the gorge, he heard about two fast biters talking about it, and wanted to visit it. He suddenly heard a loud thundering noise, he looked up to see a herd of Hollowhorns dashing down. His blue eyes widened in fright and he ran. Being small, they caught up to him fast, so he was running in the middle of the herd. He suddenly saw something, a pack of Sharpteeth were sitting on the top. A trap! He thought. He turned around to see his father racing down the gorge to rescue him.

Chomper's P.O.V

Chomper was walking on a ledge when he heard something. "Chomper! Stampede! In the gorge! Rex is down there!" Spiny said frantically. "Rex?!" Chomper gasped, he ran towards the gorge, Spiny and Giga barely keeping up. He slid down and caught a glimpse of his son running through the herd. Chomper dived in and charged and battled the herd's frantic leafeaters.

He saw Rex trying to climb up the side. He picked his son with his teeth gently and ran for end of the gorge. He continued to run. "Dad it's a trap! It's a trap!" Rex cried, but Chomper didn't hear him because of the drowning feet of the hundreds of Hollowhorn's running scared.

Chomper saw a ledge and put his son on but fell back in. "Dad!" Rex cried. He watched frantically waiting for his father to leap. Chomper then leaped with all his strength and started to climb with his feet claws, holding on with his puny arms.

Rex looked relieved and climbed to meet his father. Chomper climbed until he saw none other then Darkclaw himself looking demonically satisfied. He put his massive feet on Chomper's arms and said one thing: "good night traitor!" Then he kicked him off. Chomper fell screaming into the 50 foot chasm below, he wouldn't survive that, because his back was broken when it hit a ledge and when he hit the ground his spine snapped.

He lay there, seemingly dead, but his soul was unknowingly traveling somewhere else, into the future. Rex climbed down in search of his father. "Daddy!" Rex called. He turned and saw his father's broken body lying a few feet away. Rex ran over to it. His loving father's face blank, his eyes were unopen, and he looked like he fell off a cliff, which he did.

"Daddy?" Rex asked, hoping for a response. None. "Dad come on. You gotta get up! Daddy, we got to go home!" Rex sobbed. "Help!" Rex cried. He saw the form of someone approaching. It was Tyranna. Rex was sobbing. "Chomper...?" She asked terrified. "Mom!" Rex cried and hugged her leg. Tyranna tried to nuzzle him, he wouldn't respond. Tyranna started sobbing aswell. Spiny and Giga came over too. They started crying to, but not to the extent of Tyranna and Rex. "GOODBYE CHOMPER!" Tyranna cried as she let out a loud roar of anguish and pain.

She yelled out her mate's name three times. Everyone in the great valley heard it. "Chomper...no!" Littlefoot sobbed as he realized what happened. Darkclaw listened to this, his face filled with a mixture of demonic, sadistic, and sinister glee at the thought of the only threat to his rule. His army stood outside the valley. "Begin!" Darkclaw ordered and the sharpteeth charged. Darkclaw laughed sadistically. He had the world by it's throat, and all those who would betray him would die.
