Yu muttered angrily to himself as he walked through the cave entrance. He didn't bother looking back to see Littlefoot and Rex walking away. He really didn't care now. "That stupid Littlefoot...not believing me...why! How could he fall for that...that creature's tricks!" In aggrivation, he clicked his sickle claw against the ground, the sound echoing in the cave.

Yu pressed his claws against the wall of the cave and scratched downward, creating squeaking sounds as claw grazed against solid rock. He looked at his newly sharpened claws as he entered a wide opening in the cave where he spotted a few dinosaurs: Ducky, Spike, Doc, Ali, and Petrie. Petrie must've escaped the raptors and came to the cave. As Yu walked closer, he realized there was another guest in the group. There was a figure laying on the ground that at first Yu did not recognize. But as he drew closer, Doc immediately got to his feet and Ali also got up, despite her pregnancy. She still hadn't left yet, for fear that her pregnancy would slow her down in battle, leaving her vulnerable.

Doc looked at Ali and said, "No, you stay down." His firm voice was enough for Ali, and she sat back down next to the other dinosaurs. Doc then walked over to the green velociraptor, looking a little tense. "What are you doing here, sharptooth?"

Yu looked up at the large sauropod, and smiled weakly. "I'm Yu, a friend of Littlefoot and his pals." He spotted Ali, and added, "Well most of his pals anyway." He chuckled, though he knew there wasn't anything funny going on. Doc didn't look like he particularly believed him, but Ducky stood up.

"He's telling the truth, yep yep yep." For the first time in hours, Ducky left her step brother's side temporary. "He is Yu. He does not want to hurt us, no no no." She gave a smile at Yu before looking at her brother sympathetically. Spike was still down, wound still not healed after the recent attack from Chomper. While his blood has stopped leaking from his scaly body, he's still weak. It would be suicide to let him go outside. All Spike can do now is conserve his energy as much as he can. Ducky walked back towards her brother and laid down next to him, and curled up as close as she could. As Yu watched, he could see a tear trinkling down the duckbill's face.

"What happened to him?" Yu asked, pointing towards the stegosaurus.

Doc still wasn't so sure about the sharptooth. But then he remembered Sandstorm, the sharptooth that deserted the army. Perhaps Yu is like him. He lowered his head down so he was about eye level with Yu. "Chomper attacked him. Spike was lucky to escape with his life."

Yu narrowed his eyes. "Chomper did this, eh?" He shook his head, eyes closed. "Figures. He'd be the one to do something like this."

"But maybe he isn't." Doc said, raising his neck up high. Yu looked up at him with a puzzled look. "Recently, Ducky had an interesting encounter with Chomper." He eyed the young duckbill. "She told us that it seemed like something was possessing Chomper. And if this is true..."

"...Then it means Rex is possessed as well." Yu said as-a-matter-of-factly.

This caught Doc by surprise. "Excuse me?"

"Rex is possessed as well, by some ancient spirit possibly." Yu lowered his gaze. "It's turned him into a fire-breathing monster, and he's leading Littlefoot away to kill him!"

"Are you sure you aren't..."

"NO!" Yu shouted angrily. "I am NOT imagining things! Littlefoot is putting himself in danger! If we don't do something soon..." He stopped talking, unable to say anymore.

"Me no see why you so worried." Petrie spoke from his spot. "Littlefoot just with Rex."

"But I..."

"Petrie's right." Doc said. "There's nothing to worry about. Littlefoot can take care of himself. I should know, because I'm..." But before he could finish his sentence, the figure in the corner rose to his feet.

"I wouldn't say there's nothing to worry about, Doc." He stated as he walked towards them. "After all, he- Yu?" He said, looking rather surprised to see the green raptor in the cave. "What are you doing here?"

"Sandstorm!" Yu nearly shrieked. "I should ask you the same thing!"

"Now now, calm down, both of you!" Doc instructed, putting his large foot in between the two sharpteeth to keep them from fighting each other. "Now, Sandstorm, what is it you were saying?" Yu growled as he waited for Sandstorm's reply.

"As I was saying..." He glared at Yu before continuing, "Rex's past life is a flamebreath, as you probably know already. If that flamebreath has taken control of him, then Rex has the fire-breathing powers. He could easily kill Littlefoot if he wanted." He stopped glaring, and focused his attention on the longneck. "If Yu is right, and Rex is working with Chomper now, then Littlefoot is definitely in big trouble."

"Yeah, but also from you." Yu commented, snorting at the tan sickleclaw.

"Don't you mean you, Yu?" Sandstorm snapped, hissing through his clenched teeth.

"I SAID STOP IT!" Doc shouted, starting to lose his patience as he stomped on the ground, causing the ground to shake a little. The two raptors immediately stopped their bickering and looked up almost fearfully at the towering diplodocus.

Littlefoot walked alongside Rex as the two ventured deep in the forest. Littlefoot felt nervous the further they went. They were going into a part of the valley he's never seen before. And if he had, it was a long time ago, like when he was a kid. Vines grew so long, wrapping around the tree, and some dangled so low they nearly touched the ground. A few small streams zig-zagged across the ground. Tiny leaves in trees huddled so closely they caused the branch to lower towards the ground. Some ferns seemed to fan out like a flyer opening his wingspan. A few small rats scampered across the ground and into their burrows.

"How far did you want to walk?" He finally asked after long moments of unbearable silence.

Rex turned his glance sideways, and for a brief moment, he spotted Chomper in the distance, watching them. Rex turned to his old friend, and grinned. "Just for a little while longer. Trust me, it's not too far."

"Sure, all right." But his voice held unsureness and nervousness. Littlefoot was beginning to wonder once again if Yu had been telling the truth. But he refused to believe the one whom he found as an egg would suddenly turn on him. But memories flooded back to him as he realized that Chomper was like that too, and he betrayed them. He gulped as he looked at Rex.

Rex stopped walking. "What is it you wanted to talk to me about?" He turned to the longneck, and folded his arms, and waited for the longneck to give him whatever answers he wanted.

Littlefoot stopped as well. "Well...I just wanted to know why you're acting like this."

Rex cocked an eyebrow. "Acting...like what?"

"Like that." He repeated almost sternly. "Ever since you returned, you have been acting a little weird, I gotta admit." He pawed the ground, pondering about things. "Your attitude is different...I mean before you were worried about your ancient half, and now you act as though you never knew about it." He shrugged. "And you never used to get so angry before, and you act so distant now...Why?"

The answer he had just given flabbergasted the dracovol. He couldn't really think of an answer, at least none that would make sense. He quickly surveyed his surroundings. They were in a remote enough part of the valley anyway. They needn't travel any further.

He raised his arms up in a threatening manner, and his lips curled back, exposing his razor sharp teeth. "Guess what Littlefoot? You should've listened to Yu..." He then let out a roar and as he did so his body changed. He grew larger, four of his teeth grew longer, his claws grew sharper, sharp spines rose from his back, and his wings ripped in several places.

Littlefoot was horrified by this sudden transformation. "Yu was right..." He gasped, panting. "He was right... You are a traitor!" He said accusingly, baring his own teeth at the transformed dracovol.

"Oh I wouldn't call it being a traitor..." Rex said tauntingly. "More like joining a bigger team."

"And there he goes." Chomper said in an almost proud manner, like a father. After the kill, he wanted to get closer to Rex. He couldn't shake these feelings he had for the dracovol. He watched the dracovol advance towards Littlefoot, claws extended for the kill. The carnotaurus felt his lips curl back in satisfaction. He knew the end was almost near. There was no way Littlefoot could defend against a dragon!

But something caught Chomper's eye. He shifted his gaze towards the sky, and could see a figure flying in their direction. His pupils dilated as he realized who it was. "Gorjak." He hissed. He must've escaped the ones who captured him. Chomper paid him no heed, but if he ruins his perfect plan, he would rip that flyer from limb to limb.

"Wait...he is not flying alone..." He whispered, eyes widened in shock.

There, in the distance, running under the sharptooth flyer, was an alimon...
