Chapter 1: Safe for Now
A few weeks after the defeat of the Gutt and his pirate crew, the herd can now finally relax and enjoy their new home. Sid was sitting on the beach wondering if his friend made it or not.
"I hope you made it out alright… If you did, I'll throw you a surprise party." Sid said to himself while thinking about the wolf.
"Hey, Sid… Who are you talking to?" Diego asked him as walks to the sloth with Shira.
"Oh, I was wondering if my friend made it." The sloth replied.
"What friend did you have, Sid?" Shira asked him.
"He's a wolf I met at Diego's old home on Half Peak." He explained.
"He's probably dead. Don't worry; you're fine with us as long as that wolf stay away." The saber coldly replied about the wolf.
"What's with you all of a sudden?" The female saber asked her lover.
"He doesn't like him because I'm always chummy with the wolf." The sloth explained to her.
"Don't care, sloth." The saber growled.
"Jealous of the wolf being with Sid?" She teased him.
"Never… I never feel jealousy." He said proudly.
"*scoffs* That's a lie…" The sloth cut in as rolled his eyes and went back to looking at the ocean.
"I'm going for a hunt. Coming, Shira?" The saber said to his mate.
"Coming… Maybe, he survived or he's dead, Sid." She said as he walks off with Diego.
"He's alive… I know it…" The sloth said as he continues to stare out into the ocean.
Somewhere in the middle of the ocean, there is a chamitataxus on an ice floe beckoning for help. With no avail, Gupta started to groan with fatigueness and hunger.
"Vhat am I gonna do? I'm gonna die if I don't find any land…" Gupta moaned as he lies on his back and stares at the sky.
While staring at the sky, Gupta spots a bird hovering above him.
"Heh… It's my time isn't it? Shame… I von't live another life…" He said to himself as watches the bird descend towards him and closes his eyes.
"Old friend… You have a lot longer to live…" A voice said near him.
"Huh?" The badger said as he opens his eyes to see a familiar white bird standing on his stomach.
"Bonjour, Gupta." Silas greeted the weak badger.
"S-Silas! You're alive!" The badger happily hugged the blue-footed booby.
"H-Hey! Watch ze feathers!" The French accented bird angrily said as he slips out of the badger's arm.
"Sorry… I'm just happy to see you're OK…" He apologized.
"I love hearing zat come from you, Gupta. But are you OK?" He said concerned for his crewmate.
"Actually, I'm not feeling too vell… If only Captain Gutt vere to- Vait… Vhere are Gutt and de others?" He asked the bird.
"I… I was hoping they were with you…" The blue-footed booby sadly stated.
"Dey're not vith me…" The chamitataxus said on the brink of tears.
Suddenly, the pirates heard a splash nearby. They looked over to see a tailfin of a marine mammal.
"Gupta… do you think?" Silas stopped shortly.
"It could be…" Gupta replied shortly.
An elephant seal pops out of water with a boar on his back.
"Sorry, Dobson… You could've said something while we're underwater." Flynn said to the boar.
Dobson responded by hurling up an eel that was inside him.
"Yuck! You need some medicine, Dobby." He replied.
"Flynn?! Is dat you dere?!" Gupta shouted at him.
"Eh? Gupta! Silas!" Flynn said as he swam over to his crewmates.
"It's nice to see you and Dobson are alive!" Silas happily stated.
"Sure is… Where's Raz and Squint?" The elephant seal asked them.
"I don't know vere dey are… I only found Silas, dat's all." The badger sadly replied.
"Oi, ya blokes… Ova here!" An Australian accented female shouted.
The pirates turned to see Raz and Squint on a tiny iceberg coming towards them.
"Ah! It if isn't Miss Raz and Mister Squint!" Silas greeted as he bows his head.
"Drop the formalities will you, Silas?" The kangaroo said as she gets off the tiny ice floe.
"Yes, madam." The blue-footed booby replied.
"Wouldn't it be nice if you accept being call 'miss'?" Squint casually said to the kangaroo.
"I require that ya close yer mouth, long ears!" The procoptodon retorted at him.
"OK OK! I wouldn't complain about ya ugly temper tantrums. *snickers*" The rabbit muttered under his breath about her.
Suddenly, a swordfish skull appeared beside Squint and startled him. The startled pirate then stares at the procoptodon who has a dark aura surrounding her and she has black empty eyes which the nearby crew members are sweating with fear.
"I didn't catch that, mate. Could ya repeat yerself?" Raz threatened the frightened palaeolagus.
"N-No! I… I was just… um… saying that you're a thoughtful crewmate I- we've ever had." He said trying to calm down the angry kangaroo.
"Good. That's what I thought ya said." She said as she calmed down as she went back to normal.
"Whew! Close call…" The rabbit said in relief.
"So what's the plan?" Silas asked.
"I vas actually dinking of exacting revenge on de mammoth." Gupta replied.
"Didn't they move? I mean their home is gone…" Flynn stated.
"How nice… We're stranded without a captain, thanks to Shira and that mammoth." Squint stated as he frowned.
"I thought you liked Shira, Squint." The French-accented bird teased him.
"I vas thinking de same thing, Silas." The badger also teased.
"Hey, I don't like her. I hate her…" The rabbit said defensively.
"Whateva ya say, long ears." Raz said.
"…being with the other misfits." He quietly muttered to himself.
Meanwhile back on the island, Sid was on the beach drawing a picture in the sand. As he finished drawing, he was admiring his work when a mammoth suddenly appeared behind him.
"Hey, Sid." Manny greeted startling the sloth.
"Aah! Manny please don't do that." Sid replied while clutching his chest.
"What's that, a drawing?" The bull asked the sloth about his picture.
"Uh, yeah…" The sloth shortly replied.
"Is that suppose to be you with a…" He was cut off from the sloth's reply.
"Yeah, it's supposed me and the wolf." He said about the drawing in the sand.
"It looks good." The bull commented.
Suddenly, a wave of water crashed on the beach washing away the art Sid drew.
"Well, it was good anyway…" He replied trying to cheer the sloth up.
"Ah, forget it… Do you think the wolf's alive, Manny?" The sloth asked him.
"Well… We can't be too sure if he's alive." The bull answered as turns and walks away.
"OK…" The sloth said as he got up and followed the mammoth.
The duo walked away from the beach and back to the herd. However, they're unaware that an odd creature was spying on them in the water behind a rock. The creature was an oddly colored siren that was spying on the mammals.
"Hmm… How peculiar…" The red colored siren said as she swims around to the other part of the island.
Meanwhile back on the ocean, the pirate crew was lying on the iceberg while searching for land.
"Dis is frustrating! Not a single rock to pillage!" Gupta said in disappointment.
"Ahoy!" Silas said as the crew looks up at him.
"What's up, Silas?" Squint asked the petrel.
"I zee a familiar land 10 miles northeast of us!" He stated.
"Finally! Thanks, Silas!" Gupta said relieved.
Flynn starts moving the iceberg towards the island.
"Did you see anything else, Silas?" The badger asked the petrel.
"I did zee a familiar group we've met." The petrel explained as he lands next to the badger.
"Is it: 3 mammoths, 2 sabers, 2 sloths, 2 possums and a molehog?" The badger asked with a sly grin.
"Yes…" The petrel replied.
Gupta couldn't help but laugh about the herd's whereabouts which is creeping out the crew a little.
"Ey, Gupta? Are ya feeling alright?" Flynn asked about his friend's odd behavior.
"Just keep swimming, Flynn." Gupta commanded while calming down.
"OK, then!" The elephant seal said as he nonchalantly continues pushing the ice floe.
"Somethin' wrong, Gupta?" Raz asked as she smirks at him.
"Dose misfit animals ve've met on de ship are on dat isle!" The badger replied.
"Heh heh… I see, so that's when we'll ambush 'em, right?" The kangaroo asked while smiling deviously.
"Correct…" Silas answered.
"Alright, let me at 'em!" Squint said as he rushes at the edge of the floe where Gupta yanks on his tail and threw him backwards.
"Be patient, Squint. Ve'll get dere and ve'll avenge our captain." The badger said to the rabbit.
"Fine, fine…" The rabbit said as he waited with little patience he have.
The pirates are near the island where the herd lives. Just a few miles away, they're being followed by another ice where a few animals are sailing towards the isle.
"So, those are the vandals who attacked Sid, huh?" The crimson/jet black asked.
"Looks like it…" The old guanlong stated.
"I'm glad that Sid and the others are OK." The wolf said relieved.
"Well, our friend did say that she saw everyone left unharmed." The cloaked mammal said.
"Yep, we did hear that." Another cloaked mammal said.
"Why don't you girls take off those cloaks anyway?" The wolf said annoyed of their shady appearance.
"It's cold!" Both cloaked females said.
"Let them be… I may be a reptile, but I'm used to the cold. *sneezes* A little bit…" The old guanlong said.
"It's a shame you're cold-blooded…" The wolf said with a smirk.
"So are we…" The females complained.
"You two have fur, you're warm-blooded and you're mammals who are supposed to be used to this temperature." The wolf explained in annoyance.
"We'll warm ourselves up once we get to the island where the sloth and his herd is, OK?" The old guanlong reassured them in annoyance.
"OK." The three responded as they help the old reptile row the floe towards the island.
The pirates are after the herd. Sid is stalked by a siren. The wolf and his companions are following the pirates to get to island where the herd lives.
