Chapter Eleven

Sad Goodbyes

A few days had passed since Red-Claw's defeat and things were beginning to return to normal. But despite that, this particular day was a sad one. It was Shoal's funeral.

Dark grey sky-puffies covered the sky, and sky water was thundering down. The Valley was occasionally lit up by streaks of sky-fire.

All the residents of the Great Valley were marching mournfully down to the lake, their heads bowed. At the front of the line were several Swimmers who were carrying Shoal's body. Aqua and Barnicals were just behind them, sobbing silently. Sura and Ruphus were right behind them. Tears slid down their faces as the couple wrapped their arms around each other's shoulders. Ducky's siblings walked just behind them.

The gang of nine had never been so quiet for a long time. They hardly said a word, simply keeping their heads bowed. Ducky, Juno and Bubbles were slumped on Spike's back. Petrie was slumped on top of Littlefoot's head.

The other residents all fell in behind. All wearing the same expression of grief.

Everyone then stopped as they finally reached the lake. The Swimmer's slowly moved over to the lakeside and gently placed Shoal's body on to the ground. They then gave it a gentle push and Shoal slid into the lake. Her body then slowly sank beneath the surface before disappearing from sight.

Mr Threehorn then walked to the front of the crowd and cleared his throat. "Today is a very sad day," began Topps in a mournful tone, "While this Valley is now completely safe and Red-Claw is now gone, ... His defeat came at a great cost. Shoal was a kind and caring Big-Mouth and a good mother and it is sad that her time in the Valley was so short lived."

And so it went on. Each resident talked about Shoal, about her kindness. Ducky however was too emotional to speak. This reminded her of the last Swimmer funeral she'd been to and it had been Judy's. She'd been so upset that she'd simply sobbed silently into her mother's chest.

"W-what's going to happen to u-us now?" asked Barnicals in a distraught voice.

"Well I've talked with Mr Threehorn," began Marina in a gentle voice, "And I've agreed to take you in. Don't worry, I promise I'll always look after you."

The two children simply nodded and smiled sadly.

A few days later The whole gang were running about and playing when quite suddenly Arial flew towards them looking excited. "Hello there kids," greeted Arial in excitement, "I'm so glad I found you."

"Hello Ms Flyer," greeted Juno, "What's going on?"

"I've just seen something approaching the Great Valley that I think Chomper and Ruby will want to see. Follow me."

And so Littlefoot, Cera, Spike, Chomper and Ruby followed Arial. Petrie flew just beside her and the Swimmers sat on Spike's back.

The group soon met up with the other adults who were standing near two-boulder pass. But it was what was coming into the Valley that had everyone's attention. Two large Sharpteeth, were approaching the group causing Topps to suddenly pale.

"Hey aren't those." began Littlefoot.

But Chomper beat him to the answer. "Mommy! Daddy!" cried the baby Sharptooth in delight before running towards the two Meat-Eaters.

The two Sharpteeth bent down and gently nuzzled Chomper, making him giggle.

"Oh Chomper. We've missed you so much." said mama Sharptooth, tears sliding down her face.

"I missed you guys as well." said Chomper, crying happily.

"RUBY!" cried a familiar voice.

Ruby turned her head and gasped in shock as she saw her parents and siblings running towards her.

"Mommy! Daddy!" cried the All-Eater as she ran up to her family and embraced them, "I thought I would never see you again. I missed you so much that I thought I'd never get to see you."

"We missed you as well dear," said Ruby's father, "We heard from ms Flyer about Red-Claw's death."

"And now he's gone you can finally go home," stated Ducky, "You can, you can. Yep, yep, yep."

Chomper and Ruby turned and walked over to their friends.

"You guys have been the greatest friends," sniffled Ruby, "I couldn't have asked for better friends. I'll miss you all."

"We'll miss you too," said Littlefoot, suddenly getting a lump in his throat, "Goodbye Ruby."

Ruby then hugged each of the gang, tears streaming down all their faces. She then walked over to her parents.

Ruby's father walked up to papa Sharptooth who gave the fast-runner a toothy grin. "Well Fast-Runner you didn't do a bad job. Far better than I was expecting," sneered papa Sharptooth, "Chomper's safe and Red-Claw is dead. I can't thank you enough for helping out."

"It was nothing." replied the fast-runner.

Everyone called goodbye to Ruby and her family as they left the Great Valley. Chomper then ran over to the rest of the gang and they shared a group hug.

"We gonna miss you Chomper," said Petrie in a small voice, "You really one of us."

"And we'll always be friends." stated Littlefoot, "You know Chomper I remember when you first hatched. We were all unsure about you and you bit Cera on her tail. But you really are a one of a kind Sharptooth."

"Thanks Littlefoot," whispered the baby Sharptooth, tears sliding down his face. Chomper then looked towards the adults, "And thank you for letting me and Ruby stay here."

"It was our pleasure Chomper," chuckled Grandma Longneck, "And thank you for being a friendly Sharptooth."

Chomper then ran over to his parents and together the trio left the Great Valley. Littlefoot and the others watched, tears springing up in their eyes.

"W-will we ever see them again?" asked Juno in a distraught voice.

"I'm sure we will some day." assured Ducky, "We will, we will."

Later on the gang were lying on their backs and looking up at the sky.

"Me sure gonna miss Chomper and Ruby." commented Petrie sadly.

"Me too," replied Cera, "I was getting quite used to Chomper. Sure one of his first acts when he hatched was to bit my tail, but he's not so bad."

Ducky turned towards Aqua and Barnicals. "I am so sorry about your mommy," she said, "But me and the others will always be there for you. I promise, I do, I do. Yep, yep, yep."

"Thank you." whimpered Aqua as she hugged the young Swimmer and began crying silently.

After a few minutes the big-mouth calmed down.

"Hey Ducky can I ask you something?" questioned Littlefoot.

"Of course Littlefoot." replied Ducky.

"You don't really think Rolf could've reformed do you?" asked the Longneck curiously.

"No, I never believed he would have," answered Ducky, growling slightly, "If Rolf had not been so injured it is very likely that as soon as he got Aqua and Barnicals away he would have killed-ed us all. He would, he would. Maybe he may have had a chance a very long time ago, but he lost that chance when he hurt-ed Judy and Nitha and was too caught up in his paranoia."

"The same can be said for Parsley." pointed out Hollow.

"They both give me the shivers." Whispered Ducky before shuddering, "I am just glad that they are both dead and t-that Judy, Nitha and Shoal are in a better place where they cannot be hurt."

The gang lay down silently looking up at the sky puffies, one of which resembled a large Sharptooth.

In the Mysterious Beyond the Sharptooth cloud seemed to move and take on a dark green colour with glowing red eyes.

"So if that Swimmer could return from the dead, then so can I." muttered a sinister sounding voice.

(AN) And that's a wrap. After two years A Swimmer's Revenge is finally complete. I hope you all enjoyed and remember to Read and Review.

So yes Chomper and Ruby are now gone and Red-Claw and Rolf are permanently gone.

I will eventually return with three more LBT fanfics. One of which will combine several different types of LBT fanfics together.

Big thanks to DiddyKF1 for allowing me to use his characters.

And you'll have to wait and see who the voice is, but I'm sure you can guess.

So until then this is TimeLordMaster108 signing out.
