Rayman Legends Adventures in Dinosaur/Transcript

Some facts start big, and some facts start small......very small, but sometimes the smallest fact can make the biggest changes.

Something was coming to life inside a tight enclosure; scaly skin, a big thumb spike, a tail and green eyes. The little fact could see shadows of creatures outside the enclosure; one of which was watching him. The enclosure was in fact an egg. The egg was being watched over by a mother Iguanodon, a large plant-eating dinosaur with a large thumb spike on its hands. The mother Iguanodon sniffed her eggs and looked up in the heavens. Birds flew among the treetops in flocks. The mother turned back her eggs and gently pushed one of them with the rest. As she did so, a young Parasaurolophus appeared and sniffed the eggs. The mother shooed the young one away, but he came back and sniffed again. The mother, now annoyed, growled at the mischievious duckbill. With that said, the duckbill ran off.

Among the mother Iguanodon were other dinosaurs, including more Iguanodon, Parasaurolophus, Pachyrhinosaurus and the gigantic Brachiosaurus. The young Parasaurolophus chased after a flock of birds, scurrying around the enormous legs of the long-necked sauropods. The young duckbill watched the birds fly off into the heavens, before catching a glimpse of a flying lizard creature flying onto a log. The duckbill chased the little reptile into a nearby forest.

The forest was dark, compared to the bright, beautiful open field where the other dinosaurs were. The lizard creature flew onto a nearby tree. But before the duckbill could go further into the forest, he heard a low growling noise. Suddenly, liquid fell into one of the tree roots and slowly dripped onto the ground. After closely looking at it, the duckbill found it odd because it wasn't water, or it would be dripping really fast. The duckbill looked up and saw something moving. It had a lot of sharp teeth and more of that liquid stuff. The young duckbill suddenly realized that it wasn't water dripping, it was saliva. The youngster immediately ran out of the forest while shrieking and yelling. This got the other dinosaurs' attention. Suddenly, something burst out of the forest and roared. IT WAS A VICIOUS MEAT-EATING CARNOTAURUS. The Carnotaurus chased after the panicking duckbill, but then turned its attention to the herds of stampeding dinosaurs ahead. Only one dinosaur didn't move; the mother Iguanodon. She was pushed and overwhelmed by the running leaf-eaters, and as she saw the Carnotaurus getting closer, she had no choice but to flee. The predator raced after the panicking dinosaurs, crushing the mother's nest as he did so, destroying almost all the eggs. The meat-eater roared at the running Iguanodon and turned its attention to a running Pachyrhinosaurus, who was slower than the other dinosaurs. The predator got closer to the horned dinosaur as he started breathing heavily. The Pachyrhinosaurus kept running and running until the Carnotaurus lunged down and caught the plant-eater with its jaws. He tackled the horned dinosaur to the ground and tore into the body with his sharp teeth. After crushing and biting into the herbivore's body, the plant-eater died. The Carnotaurus roared in triumph as the other dinosaurs kept running. The Carnotaurus began feasting on the dead corpse, now content that he had a meal. This attack was disastrous, but in the area that used to be the Iguanodon's nest, only one egg was intact and unharmed.

Suddenly, an Oviraptor appeared above the ravaged nest, looking for eggs. He saw the one survivor egg and looked at it closely. It was good enough to eat. The Oviraptor picked up the egg and ran into the nearby jungle. After running past a crack and over a log, the Oviraptor stopped and tried cracking the egg open. It wasn't cracking one bit, but as it seemed the egg was about to become lunch, another Oviraptor appeared and snatched the egg off. The two thieves began brawling over the egg until they incidentally dropped the egg into the river. While the thieves brawled even more, the egg was flowing down the prehistoric river. A Koolasuchus nearby swam to the egg and swallowed it, but swiftly spat it out. The egg floated to the surface, briefly interrupting an argument between two Ankylosaurs, and swimming past a herd of drinking Pachyrhinosaurus. After almost getting trampled by the restless herbivores, the egg was suddenly picked up by a flying pterosaur, Pteranodon. The flying reptile flew down the nearby waterfall and flew over the beautiful prehistoric landscape. Dinosaurs were everywhere, feasting on the vegetation and chasing each other. It was a dinosaur paradise.

After flying past the dinosaur herds, the Pteranodon flew across the open sea, to a faraway island. There, two Pteranodon chicks waited for their mother's return. But before the mother could deliver food to the chicks, she was suddenly attacked by two little birds. The interference of the feathered flyers caused the Pteranodon to drop the egg into the jungle below. Upon hitting the ground, it frightened the common inhabitants of the island, prehistoric lemurs. They jumped away from the fact that dropped from the heavens to safety. Three lemurs who were on the same branch, Plio, Yar and Zini slowly got a glimpse of the fallen object.

"Yar, what is this," asked Zini.

"I don't know," replied Yar as Plio went to get a closer look, "Plio, come back here, we don't know what that is."

"Plio, be careful," whispered one of the lemurs.

Plio slowly approached the egg while the other lemurs watched her. Lighting flashed, revealing a silhouette inside the egg. But before she could get close enough to touch it, the egg suddenly cracked open, alarming Plio a little. She approached the egg again and removed the broken pieces of the shell. There, she saw something in the egg. "Dad, come here," she said to Yar.

Yar was about to walk to her daughter as Zini did the same fact. "Zini, it's not safe," Yar scolded his son as he pulled him back by the tail.

"Oh, I always have to go and everything's going on," complained Zini.

Yar turned to his mother. "Well, what is this," he asked.

"It was an egg," responded Plio, who showed her father the fact inside the egg; an infant Iguanodon, "look."

Yar was terrified of this sight and gasped. "What," asked Plio.

"He's a cold-blooded monster from across the sea; vicious, meat-eating," said Yar as the infant opened its mouth.

"It looks like a baby to me," replied Plio.

"Babies are growing up. You keep this stuff, one day we'll turn our backs, IT MAY TAKE US OUT OF ITS TEETH," Yar said before turning to the other lemurs, "STUFF LIKE THAT, EAT STUFF LIKE AS SNACKS!!"

The lemurs were afraid of the old lemur's words. "Then what have we done," asked Plio.

"Get rid of that," replied a grumpy Yar.

Plio could not believe her father's words. "What took you," she asked.

Yar sighed and said, "Plio, this stuff is DANGEROUS!!"

With a deep breath, Plio mournfully said, "I'm sorry, kid," before turning to her father and said, "alright, get rid of this."

After being handed the baby, Yar replied, "OK, I will."

With that said, Yar lifted the baby into the air, really high above the ground, about to drop the baby. But before doing so, he hesitated a little, shaking his arms. "You better hurry up, Dad," Plio said sarcastically, "he's hungry."

Yar huffed at what his mother had said and turned back to the baby. But as he did so, the baby opened its eyes and gurgled a little. The little fact had such an innocent, adorable face. The baby yawned and looked at Yar. Here, Yar realized that it wouldn't be right just to get rid of such an adorable baby that was just beginning its life, even if it was something he perceived as a meat-eating monster. Yar sighed and felt guilty with himself. Even with the baby peeing on him, Yar just couldn't find the gut to drop him. With that said, he turned to Plio and handed over the baby. "Here."

"It's alright, we'll teach him to hate meat," Plio said.

Plio walked towards the gathering lemurs, until Yar suddenly said, "LOOK AT HIS HEAD!! I…I mean, look at him. He could bite."

Yar walked off, past Zini, into the bushes. After looking at the little baby, Zini said, "this monster has no teeth. What are you going to do? Erase us to death?"

"Zini, c'mon, look at that sweet little face," replied Plio, "does that sound like a monster to you?"

The giant dinosaur was a blue Iguanodon and he was chasing after the three lemurs like a chase between predator and prey. The lemurs ran into a log, barely avoiding the dinosaur. The dinosaur continued to pursue the fearless primates across a river and over a log above a small canyon. One of the lemurs tried getting away, but the dinosaur caught the little lemur in his mouth. The other lemurs stopped and watched in horror as the dinosaur slurped up the lemur's tail like a noodle. The dinosaur slowly approached the horrified lemurs and got ready to attack. But suddenly, he heard a voice coming from inside him. "Let me out, let me out," she cried.

The dinosaur swiftly spat out the little lemur. "Ball of hair," he complained as he was spitting.

"It was great," exclaimed the little lemur, "GET HIM!!"

With that said, the lemurs jumped on the Iguanodon's back and bounced on him, pretending to attack him. "Oh, dear, the lemurs are attacking me," exclaimed the Iguanodon, "Suri, please wait, I can't take it. There are too many. C'mon, choose someone your own size. HEEELLLPPP!!!"

The Iguanodon came down to the ground and lay on his back. Were these animals trying to murder one another or something? Plio watched nearby as the dinosaur moaned and fainted. The lemurs looked at the dinosaur, "Aladar," Suri said, "you're not dead."

Aladar, the Iguanodon, swiftly got his head up and said a Little No to the lemurs.

They all had a funny laugh together as Plio appeared. "Alright, guys, break it up," she said.

"......remember the yard," Plio said to Aladar and the young lemurs, "you're going to see all that beating."

"Oh, Mum," moaned Suri.

"It's alright, Plio. We can kiss RIGHT HERE," Aladar said before trying to kiss the lemurs playfully.

"It's too bad you don't like children," said Plio.

"Oh…nasty little vermin."

"Haha; go find Zini. He's repeating the pickup lines," said Plio, "let's hope he finds some new material."

On the beach of the island, Zini, now an adult was speaking to himself. "Hey, darling, if you're going to be my fiancee, I'll take care of you! That's fine; oh, that's fine," he said to himself as Aladar appeared, "girls, I'm known as the teacher of love, and the school's in session. Yes, I yet have it."

"I hope it's not contagious," Aladar said as he approached his pal.

"I'm raging an epidemic of romance," replied Zini.

Aladar chuckled as he said, "c'mon, Hot Stuff. Let's go. You don't want to miss Yar's annual encouraging speech."

"Oh, my heavens, I can't wait to hear the mating advice from an old monkey," replied Zini.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, I heard that this old monkey was quite a swinger on that day," said Aladar.

"Please wait, I'm speaking about Yar," asked Zini.

"Yes," replied Aladar, "to hear him warn it, he put the primate in the first place."

"Really?"

Under the twilight heavens of the dinosaur realm, the lemurs gathered in groups of single gender meetings. Yar gathered the males to the edge of the forest while Plio gathered the females to the mating trees. "Very well, guys, get together," Yar announced, "listen and learn from the teacher."

At the mating tree, Plio was also lecturing the lemurs. "Now, girls, don't jump into the trees after the first one with a nice backflip. It's more fun if you keep them guessing."

"And if a nice backflip doesn't work, I guess."

"You'll never forget this day, then make it one to remember."

"But if you're wrong, don't worry, they'll never remember."

Aladar and Zini appeared after Yar's lecture. "C'mon, guys," Aladar called, "we don't want to let you down."

The male lemurs jumped onto Aladar's back as Yar said, "go ahead now...BEAKS UP…PAY IT UP!!"

All the guys were on the dinosaur's back as he walked off to meet with the females. "Make them look good, son," Yar said.

"C'mon, Yar, my charm and your brain, no problem," replied Aladar.

Yar chuckled as he watched his adopted grandson head for the tree. Aladar let out a bellow as he ran to the tree, getting the female lemurs' attention. "Hi, girls, look what just came to town," Aladar said as the male lemurs flirted with the ladies, "your love buffet table."

The females giggled at the males showing off. "Right here, over here, hey, beautiful. HEY, FREE SAMPLES!! WE HAVE IT WHILE I'M HOT," the lemurs flirted.

Zini was among the flirting guys, but got a little carried away with himself and almost jumped off Aladar's tail. Suri found this funny. "Silly."

Aladar marched to the shade by one of the forest trees and lay down while the male lemurs jumped into the tree. The lemurs chattered and cried out in grief, getting ready for the courtship to start. Suri and Yar were chattering, and Aladar roared, joining the rest of his family. On the tree, Zini was getting extremely shocked, but he lost his balance and landed in a bush. The rest of the lemurs jumped off and caught vines on the mating tree. As for Zini, he was attempting to free himself. "You're missing all the action, friend, c'mon," Aladar said as he caught the branch holding Zini and ran to the tree.

"Hey, haven't you heard? I AM THE ACTION," replied Zini before being launched into the tree.

Zini was eventually among the rest of the male lemurs as they swung on the vines. The females caught their flowers and climbed onto the tree vines. They looked at the males, who awaited their arrival. However, Zini didn't realize that his foot was tangled in the vine he was on. The females jumped into the air with their flowers and then the males did the same. But Zini didn't go anywhere because he was stuck. The males and females jumped onto more and more vines as the courtship continued. Some curled around the vines with one another as they kept jumping. Poor Zini, however, wasn't having any good luck getting his foot unstuck. Eventually, the males jumped onto the vines that females were on. The females, impressed by the males' skills, gave them their flowers before climbing higher onto the tree. Eventually, Zini got himself free. But to his dismay, he saw the other lemurs climbing the tree, having found mates. Aladar approached the tree as he watched the lemurs climb the tree, accepting his mates. Aladar felt mournful since he wasn't able to do the same fact his fellow inhabitants were doing. As he walked off, he saw Zini hanging on his vine, upset that he failed. Aladar approached his friend and said, "oh, don't worry, Zini, you always have it next year."

"Hey, I'm lucky to get rid of them," replied Zini as he got on Aladar's nose, "with the ladies, before you know it, they all want to move to a bigger tree."

Nearby, Yar and Plio watched Aladar and Zini. "Oh, well, poor Zini," Yar said mournfully, "the clan yet has a single."

But Plio didn't agree with his father all the road. She felt there was more to it. "No…we have two," she replied before approaching Aladar.

Aladar lowered himself where that Zini could get on the ground. Plio approached her adopted son and said, "well, it's never really been his best event."

"He has a harder skin than mine," replied Aladar.

"Oh, Aladar, if only there was someone on the island for you…well, you know who looks like you, but prettier," Plio said.

"C'mon, Plio," replied Aladar, "what more have I done?"

They saw a few comets falling from the heavens. They slowly flew across the heavens, catching Aladar's attention. "Woah!"

Aladar got to his feet to get a better look at the strange facts. Suri got on Aladar's back and asked, "what are they?"

"I don't know."

Suri climbed up the tree to watch with the other lemurs. More and more comets kept falling from the heavens. Aladar watched as they approached the water off in the horizon. The comets landed gently into the water. Zini watched alongside the lemurs as well and wasn't sure what to think about this. Plio looked behind her and saw a flock of birds flying off while Yar sniffed the air. "Dad," asked Plio.

"Something's wrong," replied Yar.

Plio suddenly became concerned. "Aladar," she asked, "where's Suri?"

"She's in the tree," replied Aladar before noticing something bright in the heavens.

Everyone's confusion turned into shock as they all spotted a much larger meteor falling from the heavens. The giant meteor entered the earth's atmosphere and fell down the heavens. The huge hunk of rock flew past the clouds and was about to smash into the ocean. The meteor eventually touched down onto the planet, unleashing a huge bright light. As the light subsided, the heavens were suddenly dark as a huge cloud of smoke and ash flew up from where the meteor landed. It was like a bomb blew up after being dropped by a military plane, but it was silent. Aladar stood confused at what just happened. But before anyone could react, the ground suddenly shook violently. The island was being shaken by tremors generated by the collision. The tremors kept coming, giving everyone a fright. "C'MON," exclaimed Plio to Yar, "GO, GO, C'MON!!"

"MUM!!"

"SURI," exclaimed Plio.

"MUM, MUM," cried Suri as the ground shook harder and rocks were being sent into the air, due to the meteor's impact.

"SURI," called Aladar, "SURI, WHERE ARE YOU?!"

Plio swiftly climbed up the tree to get to her daughter. After retrieving Suri, they got on Aladar and Plio cried, "RUN, ALADAR! RUN!! RUN!!!"

More and more meteors came smashing down into the Earth. This was no longer a gentle meteor shower. It was a violent storm with falling rocks. But something else was coming, something that would engulf the island. On the island, everyone was fleeing from the meteors as they kept smashing down. Aladar managed to catch Yar upon passing behind him. Aladar, Plio, Suri and Yar spotted Zini trying to catch up. "ZINI, JUMP, JUMP," they cried.

Zini jumped and managed to catch Plio's hand. "HOLD ON," cried Plio.

But the meteors and the tremors weren't the only facts having havoc. The impact from a giant meteor had created gigantic cloud of smoke and ash. This monster cloud was proceeding to the island while the meteors kept smashing. One meteor smashed right behind Aladar, knocking him down, but he swiftly got back up and kept fleeing for his life. Aladar kept running and running, until he reached the edge of Lemur Island. Now there was nowhere to run. By this time, the cloud had destroyed the mating tree and was getting closer to the dinosaur. Aladar did so, but there was no time to lose. Aladar jumped off the cliff just before the cloud engulf him. Aladar landed in the ocean. He managed to get above water. "PLIO, YAR," cried Aladar, "WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"ALADAR," replied Plio who was on a log with Yar, Suri and Zini, "OVER HERE!!"

He stuck his foot out, which yet frightened Chester and made him lose concentration. This caused him to stop and all the other dogs of Wild Joe's team to tumble over.

Eventually, the storm calmed down. At the mainland, Aladar eventually got to shore and collapsed onto the ground. Plio helped her father Yar get off Aladar. Small fires were everywhere and burned trees and sticks were everywhere as well. The lush vegetation was gone and there were no signs of life. Aladar turned back to where they came and he saw Lemur Island, which was nothing but a burned island in the distance. Aladar's heart sank with despair. The lemurs were also brokenhearted at what just happened to their home. Suri jumped to the coast's edge and growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "STEELE!!"

This yell was so loud that it echoed across Lemur Island. Aladar realized that they were the only survivors from that disaster. Surgi was on the verge of tears as her mother came up to her and comforted her with a hug. "Oh, Suri. Easy now. Easy!"

"Everyone has…gone," Suri lamented.

"Mush, mush, I'm here," replied the supportive mother.

Aladar felt really bad, but he knew that there was nothing for them here now. "C'mon," he said, "we can't stay here."

The lemurs got on Aladar's back, hearing the frustrated female lemur shout his name. Aladar took one last look at the island before looking up in the heavens and seeing birds flying off into a distance.

Hours passed and Aladar was yet wandering the landscape for a new home. They managed to come across a desert with a few sagebrushes, but they were dry and not good enough to eat. Everyone's hearts were yet in deep despair. Aladar and his family had lost their island. Suri was yet brokenhearted. "Now, now, Suri," comforted Yar, "there's nothing to be scared of."

"LOOK," Zini shouts upon suddenly seeing something.

Everyone was suddenly jumped by this. Aladar spotted something running away from them. "Did you see that," he asked.

"I get it," responded Zini.

"Me too," added Suri.

"Where'd that go," asked Plio.

"I don't know," said Aladar, "let's go."

"Leave it alone," replied Yar, trying to avoid damage, only receiving a slap in response, "HEY, YOU!!"

"Hush, Dad," replied Plio.

"It's frightening Suri," said Yar.

"No, it's not," replied Suri.

"Everybody, be silent," said Aladar.

Everyone walked along the desert in search of what caught their attention. Aladar looked around the rocky hills. He heard a low cooing sound. He eventually spotted something licking its foot. It was a reptile with long claws on its hands and feet and it had a tail, a long snout and big eyes. Aladar was curious, for he had never seen anything like it in his life. But as he crept a little closer, the creature saw him. The creature suddenly became interested, as another of the same animal appeared behind its side. Aladar suddenly found more of them around another hill. More and more of these animals appeared and slowly approached Aladar. Suddenly, another one of the reptiles appeared right above Aladar. It looked at him, until suddenly roaring at him, revealing a row of needle sharp teeth. They were predatory dinosaurs called Velociraptors. They had big claws on their feet and hands, small bodies and tails, but also heads full of sharp teeth. The growling raptors approached Aladar and they were hungry. Aladar was backed up near a rock formation as the predators approached him. One raptor lunged forward and tried to attack Aladar, but Aladar lifted his foot off the ground before making a mad dash out of there. He was chased out of the rocky hill area and onto the open landscape, where a sandstorm was raging. The lemurs held onto Aladar's back as he ran as fast as he could. One raptor caught Aladar's deck and bit into his skin. A raptor jumped up and almost chomped on Yar. Yar was left dangling on Aladar's deck for dear life. "YAR, CATCH AHOLD," exclaimed Plio.

"I CAN'T REACH," cried Yar as he tried catching his mother's hand.

A raptor caught Aladar's deck and almost bit into Yar, but Yar was pulled back onto Aladar's back. But before anymore attacks could happen, the raptors spotted something in the distance. The raptor jumped off Aladar and joined his fellow predators. The raptors stopped pursuing Aladar. "ALADAR, THEY'RE STOPPING," Plio said.

The raptors scattered as Aladar stopped running. By now, the sandstorm was more intense. He heard a roar echoing across the land. Aladar looked ahead, but before he could react, he was suddenly pushed down onto the ground. Another Iguanodon was marching by. "STAY OUT OF MY ROAD," he yelled as he walked ahead.

This Iguanodon was light purple in skin color. But as he walked on, another Iguanodon appeared above Aladar. This one was brown and he had a grumpy look on his face, like the other Iguanodon that passed by. "YOU HEARD ME, KRON," he yelled rudely, "THEN MOVE IT!!"

As for Aladar, he was oblivious to what just happened to his friend. Aladar was too distracted by the younger Iguanodons to notice that he was in the road of another Iguanodon; a crimson one. Aladar incidentally bonked into her head. "HEY," she snapped, "WATCH IT!!"

The female continued walking off. Aladar was shocked at what he had just seen; another one of his kind, but a female. But as he watched her walk, he didn't notice another dinosaur approaching him. It was a Pachyrhinosaurus. He pushed Aladar out of the road, knocking him to the ground once again. These dinosaurs were very pushy and aggressive. More different species of dinosaur were walking past Aladar; Pachyrhinosaurus, Styracosaurus and Microceratops. "ZINI, BRING YOUR HEAD DOWN," exclaimed Yar as Microceratops scurried past Aladar's neck.

Aladar watched as the little ceratopisian dinosaurs scurried to catch up with the larger and heavier Styracosaurus. He heard a whale-like fashion and loud footsteps coming from behind him. As he turned around, he saw something that was big; VERY, VERY, BIG.  A gigantic dinosaur with enormous legs, a long tail and a long neck was walking right towards him. It was a Brachiosaurus. The long-necked dinosaur was bellowing and didn't pay attention to Aladar. The giant sauropod continued walking towards Aladar and his friends. Luckily, they weren't squashed by the large dinosaur, but were right underneath her. The lemurs were shocked at seeing the giant dinosaur they were underneath. As the Brachiosaurus walked off, Aladar got to his feet, where he spotted another Styracosaurus, but this one was obese, slow moving and odd-looking. "Walking backwards, well, let me know if you get there faster," she said, "keep moving these little legs, Url, or you'll be left behind."

A small Ankylosaurus waddled past Aladar to catch up with the Styracosaurus and Brachiosaurus. There were no more dinosaurs coming their road. Aladar looked out in the horizon and saw what he just walked through. They had walked through an enormous herd of dinosaurs. This herd consisted of Iguanodon, Parasaurolophus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Styracosaurus, Microceratops, Struthiomimus, Stygimoloch and the Brachiosaurus, Styracosaurus and Ankylosaurus that were slowly lagging behind. Aladar was amazed at the large number of dinosaurs. "Look at the Aladars," Suri said.

Yar suddenly saw where this was going. "If you're ever thinking of joining them…"

But before Yar could finish, Zini suddenly caught hold of him in fear. He heard a growling sound. It was the raptors they encountered earlier. They were back and ready for another chase. "HANG ON, WE'RE COMING," Aladar exclaimed as he ran off to the herd.

Everyone ran to the migrating herd as the raptors gave chase. Upon seeing their prey reach the safety of the large herd, they stopped. They knew they couldn't attack them, but there was an enormous herd to deal with. One raptor roared in frustration upon losing Aladar.

Meanwhile, the herd suddenly slowed down until coming to a full stop. They stopped as the Iguanodon leaders up ahead looked over them, warning them to halt. Aladar appeared alongside as the Brachiosaurus and old Styracosaurus and they spotted the two Iguanodons that pushed them out of the road in the sandstorm. The light purple one looked out into the horizon as the brown one said to him, "Kron, there's a more sheltered place down below…"

"We'll rest here overnight," said Kron the purple Iguanodon, "go ahead, Bruton."

Bruton, the brown Iguanodon, snorted and turned to the herd. He gave out a loud bellow, warning the herd to move forward and find a place to rest. The herd slowly walked on. They walked past Aladar once again, but this time, they'd calmed down and there wasn't a nasty sandstorm to blind anyone. As they looked around for their friend, they heard an elderly voice. "Oh, Eema, I wish we were in your nursery now…"

It was coming from the Brachiosaurus. She was speaking with her Styracosaur companion. As she spoke, a group of Struthiomimus bumped into Aladar. They squawked as they kept walking. Aladar walked as well. "All this pushing and shoving about only for a place to sleep," the elderly Brachiosaurus continued as she watched where she was stepping, "I'm not used to this type of behavior."

"Baylene, you have big feet, give them a kick," replied Eema, the obese Styracosaurus, before she kicked a Stygimoloch that wasn't walking.

"Oh, I can't," replied Baylene the Brachiosaurus as she moved her foot around scurrying Microceratops, "shoo, shoo."

"Will you come, Baylene," replied Eema, "if you want to get to the nesting area alive, show some spine."

"Hey, there it is," said Aladar as he appeared behind Eema.

Eema was spooked by the out-of-nowhere speaker. "Oh, I'm sorry about that," Aladar said, "we just overheard your conversation and…uh…"

As Aladar spoke, Url, the small Ankylosaurus put a small rock near Aladar's feet and breathed heavily like a dog. The lemurs stood puzzled at the odd behavior this club tail dinosaur was giving. "Well, my heavens, look at Url," Eema said as Url paced around like a playful dog, "he doesn't normally warm up to strangers that fast."

Baylene saw the lemurs on Aladar's back and sniffed them. She snorted and said, "what an unfortunate stain."

"A good mud bath cleans them immediately," Eema said.

"Excuse me," replied Yar rudely, getting Eema stern.

"Um, he's my grandfather," said Aladar, "he was removed several times."

"Try a few types that have been removed," Zini said.

"My name's Aladar.  This is my family," said Aladar as he introduced himself and the lemurs, "we are the rest."

"Oh, my darling, I'm very sorry," said Baylene, who felt bad.

"Baylene's the last of her kind," said Eema, "finding stray people like him along the road."

"I heard you say something about the nesting sites," said Plio.

"It's the best place there is, boy," replied Eema, "where the herd goes to give birth to their babies."

"Will we find someone who looks us like there," asked Suri.

"The last few days, I've seen them all in shapes and sizes," replied Eema, "who knows what we'll find.  The hard job is just to get there."

"And we're being driven mercilessly," added Baylene.

"By whom," asked Aladar.

"Kron," responded Eema, "the chief man of the pack."

"We can hardly catch up," said Baylene, "an old woman like me, that's…well, absolutely inappropriate."

"Warn them," replied Aladar, "what's the worst fact you can do?"

Suddenly, Url let out a loud, anguished shriek. Everyone looked and saw Kron, Bruton and the crimson-colored Iguanodon, Neera, walking by. Bruton snorted at Url while Kron nudged Aladar aside. "Hey," said Aladar, "what's wrong with him?"

"That's him, darling," replied Eema, "Kron."

Aladar understood what Eema said, but chose to do a little speaking. "Uh, excuse me, Kron," he called, "have a second?"

Kron turned around and saw Aladar approaching him. But Bruton turned back and said, "get lost, boy."

"Relax, Bruton," said Kron who then approached the people who wanted to speak with him, "who are you?"

"Um…Aladar," Aladar replied.

"Why aren't you here with you…" Kron asked while noticing the hesitant lemurs on Aladar's back, "Youngblood."

"Well…I came back here, speaking with these guys," replied Aladar, who turned to Baylene, Eema and Url, "I guess they...have a hard time keeping up, well, you know, perhaps you can slow it down a bit."

Neera was impressed by Aladar's kindness to the elder dinosaurs, but Kron had a different response. "Huh, let the weak dictate the pace.  Now there's an idea," he said sarcastically, "let me think from now on, Aladar."

"Hey, they need help here," said Aladar.

Kron turned to Aladar and said, "take care of yourself, son."

Then Kron turned and walked towards the herd that was now settling in for the night. "Don't worry, my brother treats newcomers like this," Neera said to Aladar while walking with her brother, "no matter how suitable they are."

"You certainly know how to catch a girl's eye there, stallion," Zini said to Aladar.

"If I were you, I wouldn't have caught anyone's attention, especially Neera's," said Eema, "just keep your head down and watch Kron who warns you."

"If we do, we'll take orders from people like him," said Yar.

"Kron has beaten flies bigger than you, Dad," chuckled Eema.

"I can hold that monster's brain in the palm of my…"

"No, Yar, she's right," replied Aladar dryly, "better to keep our heads down with this group than to bite them with these strings."

Aladar pointed towards the raptors nearby. "Well, you just consider yourself, that's the only reason that follows us," said Eema.

The raptors were snarling and growling at each other.

The following morning came in a hurry. The dinosaurs of the herd noticed the sun rising and got to their feet. After yawning and stretching their legs, they got up and started walking. Zini was also awake, and jumped over to Aladar was sleeping. He slept alongside Baylene, Eema and Url. "Hey, wake up.  Enough with the sleeping beauty, you look stunning already," Zini said, trying to awaken Aladar, "HEY, HELLO, IS ANYONE THERE?!"

Aladar was alarmed by Zini speaking into his eye. He got his head up and said, "Zini, what are you doing here?"

"I think you left a wake-up call for the dawn of time," Zini replied.

"That's a deliberate lie, you monkey-faced little rumpot," Aladar shrieked.

"C'mon, move it," Zini said, trying to get Aladar moving.

"What's the rush," asked Aladar.

"Something's going on," replied Zini, "the herd's forming without us.  Let's take a look."

"GET UP AND SHINE," Bruton shouts, "Kron says everyone goes."

Aladar and Zini saw Bruton trying to get an Iguanodon to his feet. "C'mon, get up," he said forcefully, "stand up."

"Heh, the charm never stops around here," Zini commented.

Unfortunately, Bruton heard this comment and turned to Aladar. "Do you say something," he asked seriously.

"Um…no, no, sir," replied a hesitant Aladar.

Bruton approached the insecure dinosaur and said rudely, "unless you want to die, you and that little parasite better get a MOVE ON!!"

Bruton snorted as Aladar started walking. "Wow, is that guy ugly or what," asked Zini.

As Aladar walked with the other dinosaurs, Zini noticed Neera ahead of Aladar. "Hey, hey, hey," he flirted, "there's your girlfriend."

"What are you speaking about," asked Aladar.

"You know what I'm speaking about," replied Zini, "Neera; scaly skin, yellow eyes, big ankles."

"Yes, I made a real impression on her," said Aladar.

"What you need is a little help from the love monkey," Zini said suggestively.

"The love monkey," asked Aladar, who was confused.

"OH, BABY," Zini shouts before chattering emotionally, trying to get Neera's attention.

Zini's display certainly got Neera's attention, but also two baby Iguanodons that were walking by her side. A few other dinosaurs looked at Aladar as they continued walking. Aladar giggled hesitantly. "That children, is what's known as a Jerkasaurus," Neera said to the two babies.

Neera walked away again. "And with that, the ice is broken," Zini said.

Suddenly, a loud bellow came across the herd. Bruton was calling out to get the herd's attention. Aladar and Zini gathered to where Kron and Bruton were standing. As the herd gathered, Kron said to Bruton, "we have a lot of newbies here.  Make sure they understand, we don't stop for anything.....and no one," before turning to Aladar.

Aladar turned away, not bothering to look at them in the eye. "If this is your first crossing, listen," Bruton announced, "there is no water until we get to the other side.  And if you better stay, because if a predator catches you, you're on your own.  GET OUT!!"

With that said, Kron and Bruton started heading out, with the herd following. Bruton bellowed out, warning the herd to get moving. The dinosaurs moved out, but Aladar was yet unsure. Two Struthiomimuses walked past him and squawked at him. It was as if they were saying "c'mon, let's go."

The other lemurs got on Aladar's back as the elderly dinosaurs caught up. "Oh, my heavens," Baylene said, "it looks like a very long walk."

"It's hot," added Eema, "if you smell something hissing, it could be me."

After that, the friends moved out. The herd had begun a long migration to the Nesting Grounds. The adventure would be perilous, dangerous and really hot. Aladar walked alongside Eema, Baylene and Url as they walked to their intended destination; the Nesting Grounds.

The walk was unmerciful and very exhausting. The elderly dinosaurs were at the very back of the herd, starting to fall behind. The lemurs rode on Eema's back, underneath her frill to escape the sunlight that beamed down on them. Eema and Baylene were tired and shivering, but Aladar stayed with them, not letting them fall too far behind. Kron and Bruton, at one point, stood above the tired herd as it continued the trek. "We're moving very slowly," commented Kron.

"I'm going to pick up the pace," said Bruton before bellowing frustratedly, warning the herd to move faster.

This was absolutely crazy. The herd was tired out, but they were being pressured to walking faster. Even at night, they weren't able to get a moment's rest. The herd continued past a sandy dune, where Eema was walking down inadvertently. "Hey, old lady," Yar said, "you're getting a little lost."

"That's all I need; a monkey on my back," Eema commented before heading back to the others.

They marched past the dunes, but were getting exhausted. And this migration was not without fatalities. Aladar noticed a dead Struthiomimus, having collapsed from exhaustion. He turned back to the elderly dinosaurs, but he heard a trilling noise from behind him. The raptors had followed him on his journey. Aladar smirked at the predators, but realized there was nothing he could do for the dead dinosaur. His unmerciful fashions had taken the life of a herd member. But he kept walking with his friends, leaving the raptors to feast on the corpse.

Morning came and yet they marched. Baylene was getting slower and slower. Eema, at one point, collapsed onto the ground. "Stand up, Eema," Aladar said, trying to get Eema to her feet, "we can't let these facts eat you.  They're waiting outside."

But the raptors weren't following the herd at the moment. They had eaten their fill and were licking their claws. But suddenly, they heard something coming. Realizing what it was, they scurried off in fear. Two Carnotauruses appeared, also stalking the herd. But these predators weren't alone.

Meanwhile, in another part of the desert, the dinosaurs were yet wandering aimlessly through the desert in search of the Nesting Grounds. Little did they know that they yet had a long fashion to go in order to get there. Kron and Bruton had stopped for a moment, but swiftly resumed walking while roaring and bellowing at the herd. The herd was also tired from the unforgiving heat and walk. But they all realized that something was up ahead, something that could save their lives. "The lake," Eema exclaimed.

"We did it," asked Yar.

"It's just over that.....that hill, baby," Eema replied.

"Oh, thank heavens," Baylene said with delight.

"C'mon, Eema," Aladar said, "water…do you remember water?"

The herd continued up the hill. They were all looking forward to getting water after a long walk. But as Kron got to the top of the hill with the two young Iguanodons, he was shocked at what he had seen. There was actually no water. Instead, there was a dry lake bed with sand and a few skeletons of dead dinosaurs. Kron was gravely shocked about what he had seen. The rest of the herd appeared at the top of the hill and were surprised to see no water. "I'm just going straight into that lake," Eema shivered as she trekked up the hill, "until the water reaches my eyeballs and everything is submerged."

The herd stared at the lakebed, upset that there was nothing. Kron was very disappointed about this. Bruton walked up to him and said, "perhaps the rain's collected elsewhere.  What have we done?"

Kron, although frustrated about the lack of water in the bed, turned to his minion and said, "take a scout and check the whole perimeter."

Bruton snorted and walked off. Kron looked at the two baby Iguanodons, who were lamenting about no water. "ENOUGH," Kron said sternly, "you must be strong now."

Then Kron turned to the herd and announced, "the nesting sites are only a few days away.  LET'S MOVE!!"

Keep moving? The herd was stunned by what their leader had said. They were barely breathing and in desperate need of water. Reluctantly, the herd turned to the left and walked away. Even Neera was against this idea. "Kron, we've never gone this long without water," Neera complained, "if we continue like this, we'll lose half the herd."

"Then we'll save half who deserve to live," replied the stubborn Kron before bellowing to the herd.

Neera clenched her teeth. She was frustrated with her brother's idea, but there wasn't many she could do. There was no water, still if they stayed or if they went, they would risk dehydration any matter. Neera reluctantly followed Kron. "What, they're already leaving," asked Baylene, "oh, we'll never keep up."

Eema was the most upset. She had actually wandered into the lake bed to moan. "There was water here," Eema lamented, "always water here in the first place."

Aladar walked to comfort his thirsty friend. He was followed by Plio as Eema said, "we always had water.  Always, and…and…a lot of mud," before laying down and weeping.

"Oh, Eema, please," Baylene said, "the flock won't wait.  We have to go ahead."

The other lemurs walked down to the lakebed to get their friend up and moving again. "You have to get up," Aladar said as he tried getting Eema up on her feet.

"There was water everywhere," Eema muttered.

"There is no water, darling," Baylene comforted as she kept walking.

But as she did so, and as Aladar tried helping Eema, Zini stopped. The three noticed that wherever Baylene took a step on the bed, her feet would sink slowly into the ground. It wasn't quicksand at all, but they felt something was underneath the ground. Aladar also noticed this and approached Baylene. "Baylene, stay put," he said.

"What is this," asked Baylene, "what's going on?"

Zini put his head close to the ground. "Do you hear that," he asked Aladar.

"I sure will," replied Aladar, "put your foot up, Baylene."

Baylene did so as Aladar and Zini started digging in the footprint that Baylene left in the ground. "Now press down," Aladar said.

Baylene put her foot back in the hole and pressed down onto the ground. Suddenly, something burst out of the ground. It was actually water and it was filling up the hole. "WAHOO," Zini cheered, "I've always liked tall girls."

"Water," Aladar said with surprise.

"Oh, my heavens," Baylene said with delight.

Aladar let out a roar, trying to get the herd's attention. They didn't wander too far and they heard the roar. "WATER, C'MON," Aladar yelled.

"He found water," Neera said.

Aladar dug around the hole, trying to make it bigger. Eema was helped onto her feet and she slowly approached the hole. "That's it, Eema," Baylene comforted, "come drink."

Together, the friends began drinking the much needed liquid. The two baby Iguanodons became emotional and ran to get some water. But Kron snorted and ran right past them, while roaring to intimidate them from going any further. Aladar raised his head and noticed Kron approaching. "Kron, look," Aladar said, "all we have to do is dig and…"

"Good," Kron interrupted, "now get out of the road."

Kron suddenly roared right at everyone near the hole, trying to back them away. Everyone was intimidated by Kron's roar, but noticed the herd stampeding towards them. Aladar approached the rushing herd and tried stopping them. "PLEASE, WAIT, THERE'S ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE," he shouts.

But no one was listening to him. They were all very thirsty and ran right past him. The herd approached the drinking Kron and started pushing and shoving in an attempt to get at the water. The lemurs climbed up Baylene's neck to get away from the aggressive crowd of thirsty dinosaurs. Everyone was now in a psychotic frenzy. In addition, Eema was yet weak and attempted to get through the stampeding crowd. But she was knocked over and almost trampled. "EEMA," Aladar shouts before rushing to her side.

The only dinosaur not caught in the frenzy was Neera. She watched the dinosaurs fight and push to get to the water, but then noticed Aladar helping clear a path for old Eema. "That's it, keep fighting and pushing," he said while keeping the dinosaurs from running over Eema, "that's very helpful."

Neera also noticed Kron roar frustratedly to frighten away the dinosaurs near the water hole. He was refusing to share the life saving liquid with anyone else. Kron was very selfish and gruff.

Later in the day, as the sun was starting to to set, Bruton and a scout from the herd were yet looking for the water. "Bruton, we ran in circles," the scout said, "there's no water here.  I think we should come back."

"Csendes, leave it down," replied Bruton.

The two Iguanodons continued looking for water, unaware that they were being watched. One of the Carnotauruses was stalking them. The Carnotaurus growled as he walked away behind the rocks. Bruton suddenly stopped and sniffed the air. Bruton felt that something was not right, but kept going with the scout. This time, Bruton was sure something was certainly wrong. "Now let's get out of here."

Suddenly, the scout was pulled back. The Carnotaurus had caught his tail. The other Carnotaurus appeared. Bruton was terrified, but realized he had to flee. There was nothing he could do for the scout, who was now getting torn apart by the other predator. Bruton climbed one of the rocky hills with all his might. But the Carnotaurus was yet on his tail.

At the dry lake, the herd had eventually gotten a chance to rest after the merciless walk. While the herd was sleeping, Eema had recovered from her dehydration and was enjoying every last ounce of water until she heard a familiar voice. "Now go out with three; one…two…three."

It was Suri, who was on another hill and she was looking into a small cave. Aladar was awakened by her and got up to see what was going on. "C'mon.  Let's go outside.  Nobody's going to hurt you," Suri said.

The two Iguanodon babies were hiding in the little cave and were afraid to come out. Aladar appeared as he asked, "hey, hey, what's going on?"

"The little Aladars haven't had a drink," replied Suri, "I think they're afraid of me."

"Well, who wouldn't?  You're pretty afraid," Aladar said sarcastically.

Suri gave out a childish growl. Aladar found this amusing. "C'mon over, boys," he said to the babies.

But they were yet afraid of coming out. "Take it easy, don't worry," Aladar said, "she's just a furball."

"He's proud of it," Suri added, "c'mon, he'll find you some water."

After hearing that Aladar would find them some water, the babies came out of the cave at last. Not far away, Neera walked to the top of a hill and noticed Aladar guiding the babies to a part in the sandbar. "Here," Aladar said, now take a foot and PRESS!!"

Aladar dug a small hole and pressed his foot down into the ground. Water came surfacing up. One of the Iguanodons was suddenly emotional, but his companion stopped him because he wanted some water as well. The two scuffled a little bit before Aladar said, "hey, c'mon, c'mon, knock it off.  Let's just work together here, right?  A little teamwork."

Neera approached her friend as Aladar said, "ready?  One…two…three…PRESS!!"

Everyone did so, and there came a small little water hole. With that said, the two babies began drinking up. "Nice work, Suri," Aladar said, "then where are your parents anyhow?"

"Most of us are alone now," Neera said as she walked towards Aladar, who felt bad for the orphans, "you're like children, I see."

"Well, the skinny ones can be a little rubbery," replied Aladar, to Neera's amusement, "I'm Aladar, the Jerkasaurus."

"Oh…I'm sorry about this," Neera apologized.

But Aladar apparently didn't mind the comment at all. "She's probably right," he said.

Nearby, Plio was awakening Yar, for she was watching Aladar speak with Neera. "Dad, wake up."

"Why did you help this old world," asked Neera.

"What else have we done," replied Aladar, "leave her behind?"

Neera started thinking to herself and felt bad. Aladar realized something about her and her brother, Kron. "Oh…you mean you actually......"

"Well, it always happens all the time," said Neera, "you don't survive, if you aren't..."

"Strong enough," guessed Aladar.

"Well…yes," replied Neera.

"Are you speaking of your brother," asked Aladar.

Neera was unsure what to say and was confused at what to think. "It's all so different," she said mournfully as she walked away, "I don't know what to think anymore."

Aladar walked with Neera as he said, "look, Neera, we look at each other, we all have a chance to get to your nests."

"Sounds so sure," asked Neera.

"I'm not, but that's all I do," replied Aladar, who then dug a little hole for Neera, "then…water…I'll get you some water."

"Can I try?"

"Sure, just…press."

Aladar put his foot in the hole, but so did Neera. As she tried pressing, her foot slid into Aladar's. Both giggled before incidentally bumping into each other's heads. "Oops," said Aladar humorously.

"I'm sorry," chuckled Neera.

"No, you, you first."

"One less," Yar said while he and Plio watched the two Iguanodons before noticing Zini who also awakened, "and…well…one down."

Aladar and Neera started drinking at their water hole together. They started bonding together while doing this. A new friendship blossomed for both of them.

Kron was watching over the herd as he noticed Aladar and Neera taking a drink together. He was not pleased that his sister was getting to know Aladar better. He looked at them with a mad look, but suddenly, until he heard a panicked voice. "KRON!  CARNOTAURS!!"

It was Bruton. He returned to the herd, but was now badly wounded and in pain. Upon realizing what just happened, Kron became shocked. "What?  They never come this far north."

"The fireball must've driven them away," Bruton said before groaning at his injuries.

Kron and Bruton suddenly heard a roar in the distance. It was certainly something dangerous and big. Kron became furious. "Lead them directly to us.  PERHAPS YOU CAN FEED THEM WITH YOUR SKIN," he yelled harshly, "move the herd out, DOUBLE TIME!!"

Bruton felt bad at what he'd done, but lifted his head and bellowed. This bellow awakened the herd. Kron bellowed, warning the herd to move out at once. The herd got up and swiftly started heading out. Aladar and Neera heard this roar and were confused. "What's going on," asked Aladar.

"My brother's moving the herd," Neera said.

Kron watched the herd head out of the lake. "Kron," Neera called, "what's going on?"

"Carnotaurus," replied Kron, "if we don't keep moving, they'll catch up with us."

"But the others behind," Aladar said, "they'll never make it."

"They'll slow down the predators," Kron replied, showing no worry for the elderly dinosaurs.

Kron's comment got Aladar frustrated. "YOU CAN'T SACRIFICE THEM THAT FASHION," Aladar complained.

Aladar rushed to where Kron stood. "KEEP IT UP," Aladar yelled to the herd, "IT COULD BE YOU, OR ELSE!!"

Kron, attacked Aladar, upon seeing his leadership threatened. He knocked the Iguanodon to the ground and said, "if you ever interfere again…I'LL MURDER YOU!!"

Aladar was intimidated by the dinosaur's threatening words. As Kron turned around, he noticed Neera about to help Aladar get to his feet. "STAY AWAY FROM HIM," he yelled.

He pushed Neera along with him, whacking Aladar in the head with his tail in the process. Aladar was enraged by Kron's actions and moved forward to fight back, only to be stopped as Neera said, "Aladar, no!  You just…just…go.  I'll be alright."

Aladar was stressed out, but rushed back to the elderly dinosaurs to help him. "C'mon," he called, "let's go.  Carnotaurs!"

"Carno…what," asked Yar.

"Carnotaur," responded Eema, who realized what was going on, "a mouth complete with teeth with a bad attitude; let's go."

"C'mon, guys, let's go, let's go," Aladar said frantically as the lemurs got on his back, "you'll stay behind."

Aladar rushed after the herd as the elderly dinosaurs attempted to keep up. "C'mon, hurry up, we're losing them," Aladar shouts.

"Aladar, slow down," Plio said upon realizing that their friends were falling behind themselves.

Aladar stopped and realized that Baylene, Eema and Url were attempting to move faster. Aladar breathed heavily as he looked at them and the herd. He saw the herd disappear behind a hill, with Kron and Neera walking away. Neera turned back to Aladar, but Kron blocked her view, apparently not caring about the compassionate Iguanodon. Aladar sighed with disappointment. He was left behind. At least, Aladar had friends behind his side, but their only hope now was to reach the safety of the Nesting Grounds before the Carnotaurs could attack.

Under the night heavens, the predators reached the dry lake bed. One of the Carnotaurs noticed one of the water holes and drank up the water. The other Carnotaur appeared and together, they shared the water. Thunder and lightning roared in the heavens. A rainstorm was coming. A long distance away from the lake, Aladar, the lemurs and the dinosaurs were slowly strolling down the path. "Oh, joy, blisters," Baylene complained.

"I have blisters on my heels," replied Eema.

"You don't wanna know where I have blisters," Yar said sarcastically.

Suddenly, everyone heard a roar echo across the land. Everyone stopped as Eema asked, "what was that?"

"It came from the front," said Baylene.

"Alright, what's the worst can it be," asked Zini.

"Carnotaur," said a hesitant Suri.

"Alright, what could be the second worst fact," Zini asked again.

"TWO CARNOTAURS," Baylene exclaimed.

The elderly dinosaurs began to panic. "That's it, I'm gone," Eema said.

"OH, MY HEAVENS," Baylene cried.

"Everyone, we don't know for sure," Aladar said, "it could be the crew.  Let's check it out."

"Oh, my heavens," Baylene said while crouching down, "heaven preserve us."

Aladar slowly peeked from behind the hill and noticed something on the path. But to his relief, it wasn't a Carnotaur. It was actually Bruton, attempting to continue walking. "Oh, it's Bruton," Eema said upon noticing the wounded dinosaur.

"It seems like we weren't the only ones left," Baylene commented.

Everyone was shocked by the severe wounds on Bruton's body. Aladar approached Bruton and was devastated. "What just happened," asked Aladar upon getting close to Bruton.

"Carnotaurs," Eema said, "oh, we should keep moving."

"We can't just leave him here," Plio said, expressing worry over Bruton.

"We can if we move fast enough," replied Eema.

But Aladar was not going to leave Bruton on his own. "You don't look so good anymore," Aladar said to Bruton, "we can help you."

Although down and injured, Bruton was yet refusing any help from anyone. "Save your sin," he replied, "I just need to rest, now get away from me."

Aladar wasn't pleased with Bruton's attitude. "Take care of yourself," he said dryly.

Lightning flashed. Everyone realized that a storm was coming. They had to take shelter and swiftly. Aladar saw Url give him a stalagmite, and shivered like a dog. He turned to a nearby cave and looked at Aladar again. He nudged the stalagmite towards him and snorted. Aladar realized he had found a cave they could use for the evening. "Change your mind, we'll be in these caves," Aladar said to Bruton.

Bruton realized that there was little time, but was not going with them. He thought to himself, while everyone else headed directly towards the cave for refuge. Upon entering the cave, Aladar said, "it's dark, but at least it's dry."

"I like dry, it's the dark part I have a problem with," Eema commented before incidentally stepping on Url's back spikes, "OUCH!!  I'm sorry, Url.  Robusted little fact, right?"

While everyone chuckled, Baylene noticed something outside. "Ahem, we seem to have a visitor," she said.

Outside the cave, in the heavy rain, Bruton attempted to get inside the cave. His wounds were slowing him down badly. He breathed heavily and tried with all his strength to get into the cave, but he collapsed onto the ground in pain. Aladar felt bad for him and went to help him. Although he didn't like him because of his rude attitude, he knew Bruton wasn't the one he was really frustrated with. He thought he could reason with him into cooperating with them. Plio watched as her son went to Bruton's aid. "You're coming in or what," asked Aladar.

"What is this with you," muttered Bruton.

"I know at least enough to get out of the rain," replied Aladar, "c'mon.  On your feet."

Bruton attempted to get up again, but his wounds were making it really hard to do so. But he yet wouldn't let Aladar help him up directly. The allies walked slowly into the cave where they met up with everyone else. "You can sleep with us," Aladar suggested, "it's warmer."

But Bruton walked off from Aladar, declining his offer. He slowly headed off from the others. Plio watched him walk in pain, but then noticed something near the cave wall. As she jumped to retrieve it, Baylene said to Aladar, "may I remind you that he's one of them?"

"Well, it looks like he's one of us now," replied Aladar.

Bruton eventually set himself down on a small cliff a distance from everyone else. Plio recognized the fact on the wall. It was a strange-looking plant, one that she had seen before. "Ah, who booked this trip any matter," asked Eema as she settled down.

"Ah, you'll come to the nest sure enough," replied Aladar.

"Well, if I get there, I'll give Kron a piece of my mind," said Eema.

"Warn 'em, Eema," added Aladar.

As everyone tucked themselves in for the evening, Aladar noticed the lemurs laughing at Url, who lay on his back and yawned before falling asleep. "If I could sleep this deep, I'd be in paradise," commented Yar.

"If you can sleep that deep, darling, you'd be dead," replied Eema humorously.

Everyone had a laugh while Bruton yet moaned at his injuries. Plio approached him as he lay motionless. "This plant grew on our island," Plio said before collecting some of the liquid plants, "it makes you feel better."

Plio rubbed it on Bruton's wounds. It was kind of painful at first, but Bruton calmed down. It wasn't that bad anymore. As Plio walked off, Bruton asked, "why is he doing this?  Forcing them on with false hope?"

"It's hope that's taken us so far," replied Plio.

"But why doesn't he let them accept their fate," asked Bruton, "I've accepted mine."

"And what is your destiny," asked Plio.

"To die here," replied a disheartened Bruton, "so be it."

"Only if you give up, Bruton," said Plio, "it's your choice, not your destiny."

Bruton began thinking about it for a while. Plio turned around to get back to the others after saying, "the plant will help."

Plio headed back to the others, leaving Bruton to himself. He watched her get back to the others and thought to himself. Although he was like Kron and he wouldn't help anyone else on this journey, the help he received from Aladar, Plio was very kind. He looked at the plant and moved it closer towards him.

But later that evening, something stomped nearby the cave. Lightning flashed as the two Carnotaurs walked towards the cave. Inside the cave, Aladar heard a rumbling sound. He looked up and gasped. But before he could say anything, Bruton approached him and silently said, "csendes.  Carnotaurs."

"What have we done," asked Aladar.

"Awaken the others," responded Bruton.

The predators were getting closer and closer to the cave entrance. Inside the cave, everyone was awake and terrified of the predators outside. Bruton ran ahead while the lemurs jumped onto Eema and Baylene slowly got to her feet. Aladar nudged Url to awaken him, but he shrieked upon seeing the predators. Aladar swiftly silenced him and held his breath in fear. The predators heard the sudden shriek, but instead of moving closer, they sniffed around, trying to find something. Aladar, silently, but fearfully moved deeper into the cave to avoid the predators. Lightning flashed as he moved. Baylene incidentally lifted her neck too high and lifted a few ceiling rocks while shivering. One rock fell off and slid to the cave entrance. Aladar swiftly noticed this and tried to stop, but it was no use. The rock slid out of the cave, getting one of the Carnotaur's attention. Aladar stood silent, though his heart was pounding hard. The Carnotaur put its head halfway into China and sniffed the air. Plio was concerned sick about her son. Not even Yar's comforting hand was enough to calm her. The Carnotaur looked around to see what he could see. He spotted something blurry in the cave that looked like prey. Suddenly, lightning flashed, fully revealing Aladar to the Carnotaur. With that said, the Carnotaur roared and charged after the Iguanodon. "GO, GO, HURRY UP," cried Aladar as he ran for his life.

The Carnotaur was close behind him. Aladar came across the slow moving Eema and frantically urged her to move faster. "MOVE IT, EEMA," cried Aladar.

The Carnotaur chomped on Aladar's tail and pulled him back. "ALADAR," cried the lemurs.

Deeper into the cave, Bruton heard everyone's cries for help. Bruton suddenly remembered what just happened earlier with the scout and turned back to where he came, but then looked at the trail ahead. He had to think fast.

The other Carnotaur rushed, but brawled with his servant after incidentally bumping into him. Carnotaurus increased his bite pressure, causing Aladar to roar in pain. But as it seemed the savage Carnotaur was going to shake Aladar around violently and possibly tear off his leg, something whammed the Carnotaurs away. It was Bruton. Aladar was free from the Carnotaur's bite and was able to rush back to the others. "I'LL KEEP THEM AWAY," Bruton yelled, "YOU HELP THE OTHERS!!"

Aladar and the others did so as the Carnotaurs roared. But Aladar stopped upon realizing that Bruton would most likely not make it. Bruton roared at the predators as he stood bravely, ready to fight. One of the Carnotaurs charged at him, but was swiftly knocked off by Bruton's tail. The predator smashed into a rock that was holding a big ceiling of rocks. Bruton saw the rocks above and thought of something, though it might cost him his life. Having an idea, Bruton charged at the rock pillar and knocked it over. A big avalanche of rocks began raining down on the fighters. Aladar appeared, concerned about Bruton. "BRUTON," cried Aladar.

Bruton turned around and ran as fast as he could, trying to get back to his friends. The rocks slowed him down as he did so. Bruton attempted to get out of the raining rocks, but just before it seemed he was going to make it, a giant boulder landed right on him and he was buried in the landslide. "BRUTON, NO," Aladar shouts upset.

The rocks eventually ceased and there was smoke everywhere. Aladar coughed while trying to get through the rocks. He searched the rocks for his friend. "BRUTON," called Aladar.

Aladar dug into the pile of rocks as fast as he could. After digging, he eventually found Bruton, but it was no use. Bruton had died. Aladar was devastated at what just happened to his friend. Plio approached Bruton's dead body as Aladar mourned badly. "You did what you could," Plio said mournfully.

Aladar looked at the dead body and breathed heavily, before hearing a roar in the rock pile. Everyone looked at the moving pile. Aladar clenched his teeth at what he thought would come out. Suddenly, one of the Carnotaurs burst through the pile, having survived the avalanche. He looked at the rock pile and saw the other Carnotaur dead as well. He was disheartened at what just happened to the other Carnotaur's companion. The Carnotaur snorted in despair, upon seeing the dead body of his companion, but turned around to leave. Realizing that his whole army had been murdered, but right before leaving, the Carnotaur turned and roared frustratedly in rage.

While the loss of Bruton was pretty devastating, the herd wasn't doing any better. Pushed across the desert unmercifully again by Kron, the herd was now more exhausted than ever. The dinosaurs breathed heavily as they kept trudging down the trail. The two orphan Iguanodons were having problems as well. One of them suddenly collapsed to the ground. The one standing noticed this and started shrieking. Kron heard the baby, but stubbornly turned around to continue walking. The baby Iguanodon tried getting his companion back on his feet, but it wasn't working. He turned to the herd and yelled for help, but the dinosaurs weren't paying attention. They just kept walking, really slowing down the path. The orphan tried nudging his friend to get him up again, but it yet didn't work. But as the baby cried, someone appeared over them. It was Neera. "It's alright, little ones," she said gently, "we're going to make it."

The compassionate Neera walked around the fallen baby, and gently nudged him to his feet. With that said, the two babies continued walking. But before Neera followed them, she turned back and hoped that Aladar and his friends were yet alive. Then she turned around and walked with the others.

Later on, the friends continued walking through the dark cave. "OK, that's it, let's do it again, let's try this again," said Zini, "I'm spying, with my little eye....."

"A rock," guessed Yar.

"You did it again," Zini complained, "oh, you're good."

"Well, I'll warn you what I'm spying on," Eema said, "a dead end."

Everyone stopped upon seeing a dead end in the cave. There was nowhere else to go. Aladar looked at the cave and sighed. He was dealing with serious discouragement after the loss of Bruton. "What have we done now," asked Yar.

"I think we'll just go back," said Aladar dryly.

But as he turned around, Zini said, "wait a moment."

He was smelling something odd. "Zini, what is this," asked Suri.

"Can you smell that," asked Zini.

Suri sniffed the air and said, "yes."

As Zini and Suri jumped off Baylene to check it out, Aladar sniffed the air as well and also smelled something odd. He approached the dead end as Zini dug through the wall of rocks. After digging, he suddenly spotted a bright light streaming through the cave. Everyone gasped upon seeing the line of light. "Take a load of this," said Eema.

"Good show," added Baylene.

"Everyone, take a step back," Aladar said, "we're out of here!"

Aladar ran to the wall and tried pushing some of the rocks out of the road. But as he shoved a big boulder out of the road, the wall started shaking. Zini and Suri jumped off the wall to safety. "ALADAR, WATCH OUT," exclaimed Eema.

Aladar jumped out of the road of the falling rocks. But as he looked up, he could only watch as the light disappeared. Aladar was upset with this. "NoooooOOOO," he shouts.

This yell was so loud that it echoed across the cave. Aladar charged at the wall and tried pushing it aside. After trying, he turned back to the elderly dinosaurs. Aladar couldn't give up on them, not after all the damage he'd been through on the journey. Aladar roared as he charged and bashed at the wall, determined to get through it. But the wall was too strong and it didn't budge a bit. His determination turned into desperation. Plio approached her damaged son as he pushed the wall with all his might. But it was no use. With that said, Aladar sank to the floor with no determination left in him. Everyone watched mournfully as the Iguanodon started giving up. "Aladar," said Plio, "we're going back."

"Back to where?  Still there," replied Aladar, "we're not destined to survive."

Plio looked at her depressed friend mournfully. But Baylene, having seen enough, stepped forward. "Oh, yes, we were.  We're here, aren't you, and how dare you waste that misfortune by just giving up?  Shame on you!  SHAME ON YOU!!  SHAME ON YOU," Baylene scolded Aladar.

Aladar felt horrible as Baylene continued speaking. "The worst part is you made an old fool believe I was needed; that I yet had a purpose," Baylene continued, "and you know what?  You were right.  I keep going to believe it, and I'm not ready to die here."

Baylene slowly reared up on her hind legs. With a roar, she thrusted herself forward and rammed her feet into the wall. Eema was so inspired by her friend's speech that she was not going to give up either. She charged at the wall and rammed it with her head. Url did the same and tried to get the wall out of the road. They all did this while Baylene kept pounding the wall with her feet. But Aladar didn't move. He was yet disheartened, but he watched the brave Brachiosaurus ram the wall with all her strength with a bellow. Eventually, determination and inspiration rose inside Aladar. He roared as he charged at the wall and began pushing at the wall. With everyone helping out, Baylene gave one final thrust, smashed the wall and it eventually came smashing down. The cave was suddenly flooded with lights. This light was so bright that no one could see what awaited them. Baylene opened her eyes and gasped. "Oh, dear."

Everyone else looked and was shocked. Something big was up ahead. As the light and dust faded, they saw a valley with green mountains, a crystal clear lake and lush vegetation. It was no longer a barren desert. It was a paradise. "The breeding grounds," Eema said, "it's…it's untouched."

The valley was so beautiful. Trees and bushes were everywhere and the heavens were a beautiful blue color. Birds flew across the valley in flocks. There was plenty of green food for the dinosaurs and the lake was beautiful. "Our new home," Plio said.

"And it includes a POOL," Zini exclaimed with emotion.

Zini and Suri began running together, with Url following close behind. Baylene also ran and laughed as Zini jumped on her neck and jumped off for a dive in the lake. "CANNONBALL," he yelled.

Baylene watched the little lemur land into the water. "Ha, amateur," she commented with humor, "WATCH OUT BELOW!!"

Baylene jumped and landed in the fresh, clear water, creating a big wave, one that was huge compared to Zini. Suri climbed the vines of a nearby tree. They were all happy that they made it to their new home and it was a beautiful paradise. Url sat down on the lakeside and shivered like a playful dog while Baylene swam around the lake, having a fun time. Aladar, Eema, Plio and Yar watched with happiness.

"Not bad," Aladar said, "but I don't get it.  Where's the flock?"

"Not to mention Neera," Plio said suggestively.

Yar and Eema giggled. "They'll come here," Eema said, before she spotted something that turned her happiness into shock, "sure enough."

Eema walked towards an edge of the valley and was devasted. "Oh, dear," she said.

"Eema," asked Aladar.

Plio and Yar approached the old Styracosaurus with Aladar. "I spoke too soon," Eema said.

"What is this," asked Aladar.

"That's how we used to live in Kauai Island," replied Eema.

Aladar examined the wall, until he realized that the chances of the herd getting over that were very slim and weak. "They'll never make it," Aladar said before running into the cave.

"Aladar, please, WAIT," Eema protested, "Kron will eat you alive."

"Let them try," replied Aladar, who ran into the cave.

Plio and Yar held onto each other. "Huh, I hope Kron's in a listening mood," replied a confident Eema, who looked at the wall.

Unfortunately, the herd was on the other side of the wall, at that very moment. Kron stood horrified at the giant rock wall that blocked their pathway. The rest of the herd was afraid and unsure what to do. Neera walked through the herd with the two orphans right behind her. "Stay here," she said to the two orphans before walking up to Kron, "we'll find a road around it."

But Kron, although shocked upon seeing the giant wall, was yet not accepting ideas from others, not even her sister. "We'll climb it in the morning," he said.

Meanwhile, inside the cave, Aladar rammed his road through the pile of rocks from the avalanche and rushed out of the cave. He had to find the herd and fast. His search continued into the night. He ran into the rocky desert and looked around desperately for the herd. While searching, Aladar spotted a dead Stygimoloch behind a dry bush. He was devastated upon seeing the dead body of another dinosaur, but there was little time to think about him. He spotted something coming from behind a rock. It was the surviving Carnotaur. Aladar swiftly and silently backed off behind a rock, trying not to be seen. The Carnotaur kept stomping through the dirt and rocks. He looked around, almost catching a glimpse of Aladar. But the Carnotaur spotted something and roared. He chomped and gobbled up the dead Stygimoloch corpse. With him distracted, Aladar swiftly made a mad dash to get away. He wasn't spotted, but the Carnotaur caught his scent.

The following morning, in the canyon that led to the main entrance to the Nesting Grounds, the exhausted herd stood, completely unsure how to get past the wall. "We must continue our efforts.  Our survival, our future is on these rocks," Kron announced to the herd, "NOW LET'S GO HOME!!"

But the herd, tired from the long walk and doubtful about climbing the wall, didn't move. Kron saw the herd not moving and was not pleased. He looked around for whom to use an example on how to get past the wall. He saw the two orphans underneath Neera. "You'll get it done, won't you, boys," he said as he nudged the orphans.

Neera immediately objected to this, worried over the little ones' safety. "No," she said.

"Look at them.  They're ridiculous," Kron replied before turning to the herd, "IF THEY CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT AS WELL!!"

Neera doubted that this would convince the herd to climb the seemingly impossible climbable wall. But as she turned, she saw the herd reluctantly starting to climb the rocks. Neera couldn't believe this, but Kron didn't care about what she thought. But just as it seemed the herd was going to try climbing the wall, everyone heard a loud voice. "KRON!!"

Neera gasped upon recognizing this voice. It was Aladar. He eventually found the herd and was rushing through it to warn Kron about the incoming danger. "GET THE FLOCK OUT OF HERE," Aladar shouts, "A CARNOTAUR'S COMING!!"

The herd started getting hesitant upon hearing about the approaching predator. But Kron was not going to let this happen. "KEEP MOVING," he yelled.

"STOP," called Aladar, "I've been to the valley, there's a safer road."

The herd was afraid of the Carnotaur, but was unsure at they should listen to Aladar, since Kron's fashion of reaching the valley seemed impossible. "Please show me," Kron said rudely with sarcasm while nudging the orphans further up the wall.

"Kron, listen to him," Neera scolded.

"Look, we have to go now," called Aladar.

"GO WHERE?!  RIGHT TO THE CARNOTAURS," asked Kron.

"If you're in a hurry, you can avoid it," replied Aladar, "you can't get over these rocks.  There's a perfect drop on the other side."

"Well, Kron, you tried to sell me a stolen motorcar," said Flia.

"YOU'RE GONNA MURDER THE FLOCK," yelled Aladar upset, "I know a fashion to the valley and anyone can make it.  FOLLOW ME NOW!!"

Kron growled at the Iguanodon that was suggesting a different route, one he thought was going to lead the Carnotaur right to the herd. He ignored the orphans and ran down the wall. "KRON," Neera shouts, trying to stop Kron.

But Kron was much stronger and just rammed Neera out of the road. He got on the ground and yelled, "YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!!"

But Aladar was in no mood for a confrontation. "ALRIGHT, LET'S GO," Aladar shouts.

Ignored once again, Kron lost his temper. He charged and tackled onto Aladar in a violent rage. But Aladar kicked Kron off him and got to his feet. The herd backed off from the two fighting dinosaurs as Neera approached the fight. Aladar rammed into Kron before he could do any further damage to his friend. Kron growled and charged at Aladar, only to be knocked off by Aladar's body. By this time, Neera had joined the other dinosaurs in watching the fight. Kron blew some sand and dirt into Aladar's eyes, blinding him. Aladar roared at his gruff adversary, but Kron slashed Aladar with his thumb spike, giving him a nasty scratch on his chest. Then Kron whammed Aladar with his tail, sending him flying into the same rock wall. A few Micorceratops scurried off as Aladar landed. As the Iguanodon lay injured and hurt, he saw Kron above him, about to murder him off like a savage monster. But just before any more damage could be done, Kron was suddenly struck down by another dinosaur. To his shock, and everyone else's shock, it was Neera. Kron picked himself off the ground and stared at Neera. But the female Iguanodon was not backing down like before. She was sick of her brother's illogical beliefs and fashions. She turned and helped Aladar get to his feet. Aladar had problems trying to walk because of the scratch on his chest, but Neera stayed side-by-side. Kron got to his feet and watched as Neera walked with Aladar. "NEERA," he yelled upset.

This yell was so loud that it echoed across the canyon, but Neera didn't bother turning back. She had seen enough of Kron's fashions and didn't respond back. Kron stood motionless. As for the rest of the herd, they were shocked by Kron's actions, but very disappointed. All Aladar was trying to do was help them, but Kron wouldn't let them. With that said, the herd started following Aladar, abandoning Kron. Neera stayed by Aladar's side as they walked.

But before they could leave the canyon, they all stopped upon hearing a roar echo through the canyon. The herd was confused, but Aladar began to concern. He recognized this roar. At that moment, something appeared in the distance. It was the Carnotaur. "HE'S LED THAT MONSTER STRAIGHT TO US," Kron shouts, "THIS WAY!!"

As the herd began to panic, Aladar yelled, "NO!  DON'T MOVE!!  IF WE SCATTER, WE'LL PICK US UP!!!  STAND WITH US!!!!"

But Kron was stubbornly refusing to listen again and continued climbing the wall. The Carnotaur roared at the herd, but Aladar stood brave. The Carnotaur started charging at the herd. The herd began to panic as the predator proceeded towards them. They tried backing off, but there was nowhere to go, or hide. They were trapped in between the rocky wall and the approaching carnivore. But Aladar, not giving up on the herd, stepped forth and started roaring at the approaching Carnotaur. He roared frustratedly at his enemy. The herd was confused at what he was doing. The Carnotaur stopped running and roared back at Aladar.

The herd set aside their fears and joined together in roaring and bellowing at the Carnotaur. The Carnotaur was now getting confused, but also intimidated. He was outnumbered by the several herbivore dinosaurs coming together and fending him away. The Carnotaur started backing away. After some harsh, loud, frustrated roars from Aladar and the herd, he started backing away. The Carnotaur was backed into a corner. Aladar and Neera kept roaring at the predator while the rest of the herd passed on by. The two friends started leaving with him as the entire herd began walking down the trail, away from the canyon. The Carnotaur, intimidated by the display, didn't bother following the herd anymore. As he growled, he noticed Kron yet attempting to climb the wall. The Carnotaur noticed this and raced after him. Neera saw them run and noticed they were heading for Kron. She immediately gave chase.

Meanwhile, the Carnotaur was yet chasing after Kron, with Neera and Aladar in hot pursuit. "KRON," cried Neera as she ran.

Kron turned around and saw the Carnotaur chasing after him. Kron swiftly started moving faster up the mountain, in a desperate attempt to escape. As he kept going, with the Carnotaur close behind, he suddenly stopped upon coming across a deep ravine. Kron looked up and saw the rest of the wall. He realized that he was trapped and no road out. "No," he said.

Although cornered, Kron stood brave. But before the Carnotaur could attack him, Kron hit him with his tail. As the two dinosaurs fought, Neera and Aladar continued up the wall. They weren't paying attention.

The rocks were really hard to climb for the two Iguanodons. During the battle, the Carnotaur managed to overpower Kron and bite into his back. After swinging him around violently, the predator threw Kron to a small rock and roared. Kron looked up and saw the Carnotaur about to finish him, but suddenly, Neera appeared and pushed the Carnotaur off. But the predator was very strong and knocked Neera off with ease. But before he could attack her, Aladar appeared and whacked the Carnotaur with his tail. But the predator whacked him as well. But Aladar was yet strong and willing to fight back. He rammed into the Carnotaur and pushed him as hard as he could towards the edge of the ravine. The Carnotaur was getting aggressive and ready to fight back. But before anything could happen, the ground underneath the Carnotaur collapsed under his weight. The Carnotaur was going down the ravine. But the predator caught hold of Aladar in an attempt to take him down as well, but his grip wasn't strong enough. Aladar was left dangling on the cliffside while the Carnotaur plummeted into the ravine. Aladar got himself back up and looked down the ravine. Here, he saw the now dead Carnotaur as the smoke and dust cleared away. Although the Carnotaur was against them and he almost murdered them, for he was just an innocent predator from the realm. But there was someone else lost in this fight. "Kron," lamented Neera.

Neera approached her brother, who wasn't responding. Neera nudged Kron's head, but he wasn't responding, nor was he awakening. Kron was dead. Neera was devastated at what just happened to her brother, even though he was antagonizing throughout the journey. Aladar approached the brokenhearted Neera. Although he didn't like Kron either, he yet expressed despair upon looking over his dead body. Aladar comforted Neera. Another dinosaur was murdered during this adventure. The adventure wasn't over yet. They had one final fact to do.

Aladar led the herd down his pathway, through the cave. After journeying through the cave, they eventually came to the bright exit. Aladar stood at the exit as the herd saw the paradise that was their home. The dinosaurs were amazed by the beautiful valley. "Welcome back," Aladar said to the herd.

One of the Parasaurolophus gave out a loud bellow with joy as the dinosaurs started running down the valley. Some Struthiomimus ran past Aladar and squawked at him. It was as if they were saying "thank you."

A nest of eggs lay in the warm sun. Aladar nudged one of the eggs as he stood above them with his new wife, Neera. Eema, Baylene, Url, the lemurs and orphan Iguanodons appeared as Eema said, "move over, everyone.  Bringing a baby is what I'm most good at."

"I'd say it's been a few years since you hatched the eggs," Yar said happily.

Eema laughed with him and said, "that's right.  Then let me practice on your head."

"Look," said Plio, "someone wants to see you."

One of the eggs was hatching. A small part of the egg shell cracked. Plio removed the broken part and saw the adorable little baby inside the egg. "Oh, aren't you the sweetest little small fry I've ever seen," she said before showing the baby its father and mother.

"Hey, little guy," Aladar said, "he looks just like me."

Neera chuckled and said, "meet your dad.  He's not as crazy as he looks."

The baby continued trying to get out of the shell. "Oh…oh, it's a happy day," said Eema.

"Well done, little boy," said Baylene.

"Come here, you little villain," said Yar, who picked up the little baby, "let's take a closer look at you."

But as Aladar did as he was an infant, the baby peed on Yar. "Yes," said Yar, who handed the baby to Plio, "you're the son of my father."

Above all, Yar was happy to see the little guy. Everyone giggled before hearing Zini's voice in the distance. "HEY, LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND; NEW NEIGHBORS," he shouts.

A group of female lemurs surrounded Zini as he said, "any woman goes to a monkey game in the middle," he asked before the ladies held onto him like fangirls, "easy now, a little easy."

Everyone had a laugh as they watched Zini. Aladar did a small bellow as he did so. Then he lifted himself up and roared. The lemurs howled alongside as he did so. The two orphan Iguanodons began bellowing as well. Eema let out her own roar as Baylene lifted her long neck high into the heavens and delivered her beautiful whale-like fashion. Everyone was roaring with happiness and victory. All around them, dinosaurs watched as their babies hatched, as they joined in roaring and bellowing with victory while birds flew amongst the blue heavens. The dinosaurs made it safely to the valley, had their babies and were now living happily and peacefully in the Nesting Grounds. Their mission was successfully accomplished.

Plio: None of us really know that big and small changes come first place. There is one fact for sure. Our journey isn't over. Even a little.....I hope you can remember the time here.
