A Reason
#10 of Out of the Shadows: AnthroLover's Version
Part 10 is now
"Chomper!" Littlefoot cried out, answering the horned sharptooth's question. In response, Chomper merely smiled, and purred once again in a menacing way.
(A/N The purring sound Chomper is making is very similar to the purring sound heard by the raptors of Dino Crisis.)
"Littlefoot! How did you find us?" Ali piped in.
"Rex helped us." Littlefoot noted, turning his neck to face his friend. "But what are you doing here, Ali?"
Chomper chuckled. "Isn't it obvious?" He cooed. "She helped me."
Littlefoot felt his heart skip a beat. "H-Helped...?" He looked at Ali. "You helped him...?" Ali didn't answer. She just couldn't answer. She just merely bowed her head in shame. "How? W-Why...?" Littlefoot managed to say, not believing yet another one of his friends is a traitor.
"Now now, Littlefoot." Littlefoot turned to glare at the blue sharptooth, now known as Chomper. "You shouldn't really be that mad..." He flexed the claws on his right hand. "After all, she only did it so I wouldn't do anything...drastic." He grinned.
Littlefoot rounded on Chomper. "What did you do!"
At first, Chomper's eyes registered fear. But that fear quickly drained into arogancy. "Why don't you ask her yourself...?" He sneered.
"No..." Littlefoot whispered. "No...Ali, why..?"
"He kidnapped me...forced me...I didn't want to...I didn't mean to..." Ali whispered, choking back tears. "I'm...I'm so sorry..."
Littlefoot glared at her for a few seconds. She winced as if she was struck, and backed away. Littlefoot's expression suddenly softened. The faintest hint of a smile showed up on his face. "I'm glad he didn't kill you."
"Awww..." Littlefoot turned his angry red eyes towards Ichy. The bird had an eerie smile on his beak. "Isn't that just touching?" He said sarcastically. "Two love dinos, reunited after all this time." His tone suddenly changed to disgust. "Yuck!"
Littlefoot shouted, "What's it to you, huh!" His tone softened. "What did you mean... love dinos?"
Ichy sneered. "It's pretty obvious you and her were a couple, with the way you two look at each other."
"Why you..." Littlefoot warned, but panicked when Dil opened her jaws and slammed shut close to him. She may had fewer teeth, but her bite was no less dangerous.
Chomper chuckled, recieving a glare from Rex. The winged dinosaur stomped towards the laughing sharptooth and struck him on the face! Chomper yelped, and could smell blood. A long thin cut snaked across his snout, looking very much like the wound his mother recieved back on the island, facing another horned sharptooth. Chomper snarled, and headbutted Rex! The omnivore fell on his side.
Chomper lifted his foot to kick him. But before he could, Littlefoot used his tail to knock Chomper down. "Don't you dare..." The longneck hissed.
The horned sharptooth sniggered softly. "You think you can threaten me...?" He took a step forward. "You really think you can scare me? With those small teeth of yours? Ha!" He laughed. He stopped after a few seconds, and glared seriously. "I think not..." His voice was a hiss.
Back in the Great Valley, Ducky and Spike continued walking. They hadn't talked for a while. They didn't know what else to talk about. Ducky's mind kept wandering, and Spike couldn't think of what to say anymore to help her.
"There they are!" They heard a voice shout. Ducky and Spike swerved to see Mr. Threehorn and Tria walking towards them. While Topsy had a frown on his face, it was a frown of seriousness, not a frown of anger. "Finally, we found you!"
Ducky gulped. "Anything wrong, Mr. Threehorn, sir?"
"Where's Littlefoot?"
Ducky shrugged. "I don't know. I haven't seen him in a while."
Mr. Threehorn shook his head. "I need to speak with him."
"Why?"
"Rumor has it that the sharptooth isn't working alone. I need to talk to Littlefoot and see if he knows anything about this."
Ducky looked confused. "Why would he know?"
"Hey, wouldn't hurt to ask!" He snapped.
Tria stepped forward. "Now, now, she was just asking a question." She looked at Ducky. "If you see Littlefoot, tell him to find Topsy, okay?"
Ducky and Spike nodded. The two threehorns disappeared back where they had come from. Ducky eyed Spike with a look of worry. "That sharptooth, having help...? If this is true...then..."
Spike gently nudged her. "No be sad. We find Littlefoot?"
Ducky nodded. "Let's go."
Back in the cave, Chomper, Ichy, and Dil all had cornered Littlefoot, Rex, Petrie, and Ali into one part of the cave. It was extremely dark, but they could smell each other and hear each other breathe. Littlefoot knew who was in front of him. Littlefoot and Rex stood in front of Ali and Petrie, using their bodies as a shield.
Chomper stepped up. "So, where was I...?"
Petrie swallowed. "You were about to tell us how you turn bad."
Chomper's eyes went wide, and he smiled. "Oh yes...that..."
"How could you betray us like this..." Littlefoot asked softly. "I thought we were friends."
The sharptooth's cold stare looked his way. "That's right. We were friends."
Littlefoot's mind was filling with so many questions. He was about to ask one of them when Chomper stepped forward one more time.
"Well do you or do you not want to know what happened to me?"
The four in the corner looked at each other, and looked back. They all gave a single nod. Chomper smirked. "Okay then, I will tell you my tale."
And so began the tale of Chomper's descent.
(A/N The next three chapters will tell of Chomper's past.)
