It was created by TheLoneDragon at the GOF. This is how I would have ended it, based on what I've read so far.
Sculra was angry that they had foiled her egg stealing plots. She went to a long acquaintance of hers: Sierra.
"Hello Sierra." said the Swimmer High Elder.
"Hello Sculra." said the evil Flyer.
"I know that you've heard of Ducky before." said Sculra.
"Yes. I most certainly have. She and her friends showed me up. She has a really annoying voice and her 'Yep. Yep. Yep.' and 'Nope. Nope. Nope.' drive me nuts!" said Sierra through clenched teeth.
"I need to see that she makes it to the Swimmer Trials. I have a little, er, friend there that she'll be dying to meet, if you know what I mean. See to it that she comes. Kill her and her mother if you have to if they won't come. I trust our Sharptooth allies will help us." said Sculra.
Sierra nodded wickedly. He left her and came to Rinkus. "Rinkus!" shouted the angry evil Flyer.
"What?" said the pink evil Flyer.
"We have an important task from High Elder Sculra!" said Sierra.
"What's that old hag want?" asked Rinkus irritably.
"She has a Ducky problem." said Sierra.
Rinkus, who had no lover for Ducky, grinned evilly. "Let's go have some fun." he laughed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Littlefoot, Cera, Petrie, Spike, Chomper, and Ruby set off to go try and defeat the Swimming Sharptooth themselves. Most of the grown ups didn't believe them. As they snuck out at night, they heard two voices.
"I cannot permit you to leave." It was Thicknose.
"Please Mr. Thicknose!" begged Littlefoot.
"I meant, I cannot permit you to leave without MY help. I trust you will need a grown up to go with you." he said. The group smiled.
"Also, Ducky is my friend too." came another voice. It was Guido.
So the eight set out to go save their friend. Along the way, they attracted Red Claw's attention. He tried to get them. "Go, I'll hold him off!" yelled Chomper.
"But Chomper....!" begged Ruby.
"I'll meet up with you! Trust me!" said Chomper.
Screech, Thud, and Red Claw went off after Chomper.
"I hope he gets away ok." said Cera in concern.
Chomper ran from the three bad guys. After some time, he was able to lose them. He knew though, that they would be soon after him. He returned to the others.
"I'm glad you're alive." said Littlefoot.
"They'll be back. And I have a plan. A plan to get rid of Sculra for good. And I won't even have to kill her myself." said Chomper.
"What plan you have?" asked Petrie.
Chomper whispered conspiratorially into their ears. They all smiled. "That plan sounds brilliant, though it's gonna be tricky to pull off. If we goof up, we'll get killed." said Littlefoot upon hearing the full plan.
"Ducky would risk her life for us. Now it's our turn to stand up for her." said Chomper boldly.
"Agreed!" shouted the others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sura and Ducky left their friend. He was nice and had helped Ducky learn some of the new wisdoms. However, it still didn't seem like it would be enough.
"Ducky, if you want to run, I will go with you." said Sura.
"But I want to see my friends again." said Ducky sadly.
"But if you go to that Trial, you will likely die. Your friends would prefer you to live I believe." said Sura.
"I learned something when wandering across the Mysterious Beyond with Littlefoot. I learned to never lose hope. I made it despite how hard it was. And I was up against Sharptooth." said Ducky.
Sura knew that her daughter was made of stronger stuff than she often thought. That Ducky was made of stronger stuff than even Sculra knew.
"Where are you two going?" came a voice.
"It's Sierra!" said Ducky in alarm.
"You, go away! Pterano told us all about you before he left!" said Sura.
"Well, we're here on a mission from the High Elder. You are to go to the Trial....or else." said Sierra.
"Or else what?" asked Sura defiantly.
Sierra and Rinkus came at them. Sierra tried to snap at Ducky. However, Sura aimed a kick at Sierra and knocked him away. This hurt her bad leg though. She fell.
"Sculra only said to make sure that Ducky gets to that Trial. We don't need you around. In fact, I think that Sculra would be happy to see you gone!" said Rinkus, laughing.
Ducky turned and glared at the two evil Flyers. She had almost lost her mother many times before on this journey. She wasn't going to let Rinkus and Sierra kill her poor mother.
"Leave my Mother alone!" yelled Ducky.'
"What are you going to do little Swimmer!" laughed Sierra.
Ducky leapt at Sierra. She grabbed him on the neck and tried to throttle him. "Leave her alone!" yelled Ducky.
Rinkus took a swipe at Ducky but missed and conked Sierra on the head. Sierra retaliated by hitting Rinkus. The two started to fight. In the confusion, Ducky and her mother were able to slip away.
"Look, they got away!" yelled Rinkus, about to punch Sierra and realizing that the two Swimmers were gone.
"We'll get them." said Sierra confidently, grinning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Littlefoot and his friends came near the Big Water. They saw a familiar face: Mo. "Where Ducky?" Mo asked.
They explained. Mo shed a tear. "Mo wish that Mo could help." said Mo in his cute watery voice.
"Wait, maybe you can!" said Littlefoot. They grabbed Mo and moved him, being sure to put him in water enough that he could breathe when he needed to. They took him toward the dreaded caverns.
"Let's see if we can get the caverns caved in first. If they cave in, then they won't be accessible for the Trial. And if they aren't accessible for the Trial, then there won't be a Trial anymore." said Ruby.
The group, minus Mo, who waited in the water outside the Caverns, went to the roof of the cave. They stomped up and down. It rumbled, but, try as they might ti wasn't good enough. They kept trying. Eventually, they realized that they couldn't do it with the numbers and strength that they had.
"We're going in!" said Cera.
"Be careful you guys. We don't want to trade you for Ducky." cautioned Mr. Thicknose.
They went into the caverns. It seemed eerie in here. There was an almost haunted feel about the place, as though the spirits of those who had died there had taken up their abode there.
"This place give me the creeps." said Petrie, voicing what they were all feeling.
"We have to defeat that thing." said Chomper.
"Mo scared but Mo will bring out the creature. Then Chomper and you will kill it." said Mo.
They all thought that Mo was awfully brave. Mo went underwater. He saw something move. It's red eyes glared at him. A Swimming Sharptooth! It was an eel like monster.
Mo turned and ran. The creature went after him. He jumped out of the water. The group grabbed him.
To their horror, they saw that the fiend could go onto land. They had hoped that Chomper would bite its head off when it stuck its head out of the water. But they hand't expected this....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ducky and her mother were heading toward the Trial area. They weren't sure what to do. To go would be to get death for Ducky it seemed. Sura believed her daughter when she had told her about the Swimming Sharptooth.
Rinkus and Sierra caught up with them. They had two Fast Biters with them. "We can make you go. We have Sharptooth friends." said Sierra, smirking.
Sura tried to fight off the four foes. However, Sierra and Rinkus were able to knock her down.
"Not so tough now, are you Sura?" laughed Rinkus.
*Enjoy your dinner!* said Sierra in Sharptooth to the two Fast Biters. They grinned and licked their lips.
Ducky rushed at the Fast Biters. She knew that it seemed impossible to defeat all four enemies at once. Yet, she couldn't live with herself if she let her mother die without at least trying to save her.
It would have been a losing fight, but then.....WHAM! Mr. Thicknose attacked the two Fast Biters. Sura, though with a sore leg, was able to help out.
While Rinkus and Sierra stood dumbfounded at what had happened, Ducky snuck behind them and rammed their heads together, knocking them out. The two Fast Biters, meanwhile, were chased off by Sura and Thicknose working together.
"The kids are in the cave. They haven't come out. I'm worried. They said they were going to fight the Swimming Sharptooth themselves." said Thicknose.
"What kids?" asked Sura.
"Littlefoot!" yelled Ducky. She ran into the Cave after her friends. No way was she going to let them die on her account. She had to help!
"Ducky!" yelled Sura. Ducky went into the Cave. "Oh Ducky!" she said again.
"It's too small for us to get through. We'll just have to hope that they can take the thing." said Mr. Thicknose. They both looked at each other uneasily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The group stared as Ducky came in. She saw the Swimming Sharptooth! "Leave my friends alone!" she cried. Though usually sweet and kind, she took angry aim at the evil Sharptooth who had killed Sawyer and so many others. WHACK! She hit the creature.
The creature tried to take aim at her, but Mo spat water at the fiend. "Take that you monster!" said Mo angrily.
The creature got hit in the eye and moved toward Mo instead. Ruby struck the creature with a cave tooth that she had found. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to piece the fiend.
Cera poked it with her horn, but again, it wasn't enough to do much damage. Spike kicked it. It snapped at him and he barely was able to dodge it.
Littlefoot tried to wrestle it, but it threw him off. Petrie tried to help, but was knocked over. It looked bad for the group.
*Go away!* said a voice in Sharptooth. It was Chomper.
*They are mine!* said the Swimming Sharptooth.
*You will not hurt them! You've killed your last victim!* said Chomper.
The Swimming Sharptooth laughed. He moved at Chomper. Chomper moved aside. SNAP! He got the thing with his teeth. He'd gotten it right in the neck. The creature looked dumbfounded. Then, it fell over....dead.
The group cheered. Chomper ate the fiend personally. "You....will....never...kill.....again!" said Chomper between bites.
The group came out. They saw the blood on Chomper.
"It's gone and won't come back." said Chomper. Sura was glad that the fiend was gone. But there was still another fiend to be reckoned with: Sculra. The Trial would start soon. The Swimmers were nearby, coming to watch. They were able to hide the evidence that they had tampered with Sculra's plans.
Sculra saw Ducky. Her face broke out into a grin. "It's been nice knowing you little one. Nobody has survived this Trial from the Great Valley." laughed Sculra.
"There's always a first." said Sura defiantly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ducky went into the cave. She had to stay in the water for five minutes and make it. It looked dangerous and the rapids were bad. Mo may have been able to make it, though even he had some trouble.
She was going to hold onto hope though. She got into the water. It moved fast. She stood in danger of being smashed into the rocks. However, she was determined not to die. She used everything that her friend had taught her. She was able to avoid the sharp rocks.
One minute into the Trial, Sura was nervous. Sculra had a look of triumph on her face. "She won't make it. She's too soft." said Sculra. Sura wanted to beat her into a pulp. However, she didn't dare do it in front of so many witnesses.
Two minutes in, and Ducky was struggling. She started to slip under the water. This was very hard. Yet she kept going. She imagined Spike cheering her on. He yelled "D----D--Du----Ducky!" She kept going, wanting to hug her brother.
Two and a half minutes in. Halfway there. Sculra was amazed that the Swimming Sharptooth hadn't gotten Ducky yet. Perhaps it was slow. She watched with Sura and others through a crack in the cave. Ducky had now passed up the time that Sawyer had been in there before his death.
"Keep going Ducky!" said a voice. It was Sawyer.
"Am I dead?" she asked, wondering how she could hear him.
"No. You are going to beat this. You must survive. We must end the Trials for good!" said Sawyer. His voice urged her to keep going. Three minutes.
Sculra was furious. She thought that perhaps her Swimming Sharptooth might not be up to speed.
At three and a half minutes, Ducky was feeling very weak. This Trial seemed horrible. She imagined Littlefoot "Don't give up Ducky. Never give up hope." he said. She kept going.
Four minutes. Only one minute left. Ducky seemed about out of strength now. Sculra smiled. Perhaps her Sharptooth was asleep. But it didn't matter. Ducky seemed likely to drown.
"This is the end of Ducky!" laughed Sculra.
"NEVER!" yelled Sura.
Ducky imagined Petrie. "Me no want you to give up." he said. She kept going. Thirty seconds left.
She was starting to get weak and slip under the water.
"Hang on Ducky! You're tougher than this!" said Cera. Ducky kept going. 20 seconds left.
She started to slip under again. "Keep going Ducky. I believe in you." said an imaginary Chomper. Ducky kept going. 15 seconds left.
She was getting weaker. "You can do it Ducky. Do it you can!" said an imaginary Ruby. Ducky kept going. 10 seconds left.
Her strength was on the very verge of giving out. She went under.
"I win!" laughed Sculra.
"No Ducky! You can do it! Don't give up hope!" yelled Sura.
"Mama!" yelled Ducky. She broke the surface and kept swimming. Five....four....three...two...one. She'd done it! She got out of the water and crawled out the cave, totally exhausted.
"NO!" yelled Sculra. She wouldn't let them beat her this easily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ducky has beaten it! She has beaten your nasty Trial! Ducky will be a new leader someday." said Sura defiantly.
"I'm still in charge here. I saw that she never will be!" said Sculra.
"What you say doesn't matter. You and your Swimming Sharptooth are finished!" said Littlefoot angrily.
"What?!" yelled Sculra.
Chomper let out a belch. "It tasted good!" said Chomper, licking his lips.
"You rotten little Sharptooth! How dare you kill my Swimming Sharptooth?! I've used him so many times in the past Trials and...." she yelled angrily. She paused. She realized that she'd let out her secret. The crowd of Swimmers glared at her.
"It was a joke. I...." said Sculra nervously. They all charged at her. She ran.
Red Claw, Screech, and Thud were nearby. They encountered Sculra. She attacked Screech. She was able to kill him by breaking his neck. She next went for Thud. She grabbed onto him. Red Claw swung his claws at her. He got her, though it came at the cost of killing Thud, whom Sculra would have gotten anyway. Sculra was dead. Red Claw ate the evil Swimmer. Her reign of terror was over at last!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
News of Sculra's death spread. Sura was made the new High Elder. The Trials were abolished forever and the cave was caved in so that would-be Sculras could never use it for evil again.
Ducky came to the Great Valley as a hero. As the first Great Valley resident to survive the Trial, she was a legend there. This would be something to tell her children and grandchildren. Someday, she would be the most renowned High Elder ever.
However, right now she went to go play with her friends. She could live a normal life again. All was well.
