Hey guys. This idea was floating around in my head for months since I saw that there were about 13 movies and about 20 something episodes. It's a post-series fic. I will try to tie in both movie and TV series in the fic.

Summary/Trailer:

It's been about 25 years since Littlefoot was born. He's now living with his Father, Bron, and Adopted Brother, Shorty. The Rainbow-Faces return with a message: The Sharpteeth are forming an army. You must stop them before it's to late.

Now, Littlefoot must not only return to the Great Valley to regroup his friends, but also Marshall an Army of Non-Sharpteeth (except for a few) Warriors greater than ever before. It's the BIGGEST Battle the Land Before Time ever saw. THE GREAT WAR!

(Summary/Trailer End)

I hope you like that because here comes the first Chapter. I'll probably turn it into several short chapter or about 3-5 long ones.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except this idea.

And maybe not even that. (lol)

(Story Begin)

It finally happened. Littlefoot never wanted this day to come, but it did. His grandparents finally died. Old age finally caught up with them. The Great Valley was holding a Grand Ceremony – i.e. Burial – for them; everyone in the valley was attending. Everyone that Littlefoot knew personally and made a difference in his or her lives in one-way or another was there. Hyp and his friends and their dads; Ali's herd made the journey to the Great Valley for the ceremony; Doc and Dara visited and stayed for the ceremony; Pterano, who finally returned from his banishment decided to stay and honor the two heroic Longnecks; Tippy's herd wasn't staying long, but enough for the burial; Mo brought a couple of his family to join the gathering, Elsie joined them; Bron brought his whole herd, including Shorty, and Littlefoot decided to leave and join Bron's family after everything was over; Sue and her mate were there; the Tinysauruses were there as well; the flyers and Guido arrived for the gathering; Loofah and Doofah were there; even Chomper's parents, who promised through Chomper that they would not eat anyone – they were provided special seating. Not to mention Cera and her family, Petrie and his family, Ducky and Spike and their family, Chomper, and Ruby, her family couldn't make it. Littlefoot had made many friends during his life in the Great Valley, and he wouldn't trade anything in it for the world.

(Scene Change)

The ceremony was over; Grandma and Grandpa Longneck were buried in a special place. Littlefoot was getting ready to go, but he had to say goodbye to his friends first. The other herds were getting ready to leave and Chomper's Parents left already so no one would get too wary around them. Soon Littlefoot, Cera, Duckie, Petrie, Spike, Chomper, and Ruby remained.

"I'm gonna miss you guys," said Littlefoot.

"I know; Dad is starting training for me tomorrow, to take over the Threehorn Herd when he steps down and joins the newly formed Council of Herds," said Cera.

"Mama's found me an Elite Swimmer who will train me to become a great Swimmer as well. Spike's joining Tippy's herd as they wander through the Mysterious Beyond," said Ducky.

Spike nodded in agreement.

"Uncle Pterano taking me on journey as well," informed Petrie.

"I'm staying here; I'm helping Mr. Thicknose," said Ruby.

"My parents are waiting for me outside the Valley. I need to be with them to learn more about being a Sharptooth and maybe help other Sharpteeth learn to make friends and not eat them,"

"Mo's returning home, Ali's staying with her herd, Doc and Dara are wandering again; even you guys are splitting up; I guess it's time for me to move on as well," said Littlefoot.

"Remember: We are friends forever. Don't EVER forget that!" said Cera, in a 'you better not' tone.

The group – minus Littlefoot – sang, "We will always be friends" from the tenth movie. He knew they were telling the truth, but it may be years before they could see each other again.

"Thanks, you guys. This means everything to me. I hate to split up the gang, but it looks like there's no choice," said Littlefoot with tears in his eyes.

Everyone gathered in a group hug before going there separate ways. Littlefoot stopped Cera before she got too far.

"Cera, wait. I need to talk to you," started Littlefoot.

"I know what your gonna say, but we can't be together. My dad would never accept it, but for what it's worth – I love you too," interrupted Cera, saying what was on their minds.

"Cera, thanks. I'll miss you most of all," said Littlefoot, as he and Cera cuddled as he had seen his Grandparents do. Littlefoot left Cera and went to find Bron and Shorty. Cera return to her father with a broken heart, but she was happy that Littlefoot and her cleared up everything between them. "Dad, I'm ready," she said.

"Good. I won't be easy, so I hope you ARE ready. It's time to begin your training to become a leader," said Topsy as he was prepared to take Cera to the next level.

(Scene Change)

Petrie and Ducky had a similar scene to Littlefoot and Cera before parting ways as well. Duckie approached her Mama. "Mama, I'm ready. I'll miss you," she said.

"I'll miss you as well," replied her mother.

Duckie then left with her new trainer into the Mysterious Beyond.

(Scene Change)

Spike joined up with Tippy and his mom. They and the herd set out for their next destination.

(Scene Change)

Petrie landed next to Pterano on a cliff near to their home. "Uncle Pterano, me ready," he said.

"Let's say goodbye to your mother. We'll be off afterwards," said Pterano. They flew home and said their last goodbyes. They began their journey into the Mysterious Beyond as well.

(Scene Change)

Littlefoot approached Bron and Shorty.

"Don't worry. You'll return soon enough," said Bron.

"I know what's like being alone. You have your friends. They'll NEVER forget you. If they do, then they're throwing away a lifetime of friendship and adventures. Come on, Bro. Let's go home," consoled Shorty.

"Thanks guys," said Littlefoot, feeling a bit better.

"Well, we better bet a move on. The herd is waiting outside," said Bron as he started moving.

They left the Great Valley – Littlefoot taking one last look before saying goodbye. He looked up and saw a cloud that looked like his mother.

"DAD! SHORTY! COME LOOK AT THIS!" yelled Littlefoot, getting their attention.

Bron and Shorty approached where Littlefoot was standing and looked up. Bron recognized what Littlefoot was looking at, but Shorty thought it looked like any adult Longneck.

"She's still watching over you," said Bron.

"She is, isn't she? Shorty, this is my Mother. She died saving me and Cera on our way here. She was even here when I first arrived, telling me that this was the Great Valley. I guess this is her way of telling me: You're ready to move on, for now,"

"That's your mother!? She's really pretty," commented Shorty in awe.

"She was the most beautiful Longneck I saw. If she were still alive today, she would accept you as a son as well, Shorty," said Bron to Shorty.

"Thanks, Bron – I mean dad," said Shorty. He still trying to get used to calling him that.

"Thank you, for everything, Mother," said Littlefoot before turning to travel out of the Great Valley for an extended time.

A star twinkled behind the cloud, where the eye was; Bron, Littlefoot, and Shorty joined the others outside the Great Valley and they traveled towards home, Littlefoot's new home.

(Chapter End)

Well, there's chapter one. I hope you like it.

Next Chapter:

It's 10 years later. Everything seems to be going good, but all is not well. The Rainbow Faces have returned and want to speak to Littlefoot. Can Littlefoot stand up to the Army of Sharpteeth that are amassing? Can he find his friends and get them together before its too late? The story continues, in Chapter 2 of Land Before Time: The Great War.

Thanks for reading,
