Chapter 2 – Dark Encounters
Inside the Sanctuary, Carrie was tossing and turning in her sleep as she dreamt that she was somewhere dark and gloomy. Soon, she saw Sid with a cloaked figure.
"Sid?" Carrie called out.
Sid and the cloaked figure didn't turn or reply to Carrie but stood the way they are. "Now sloth... prepare to be destroyed!" the cloaked figure evilly laughed.
"No! Please no!" Sid begged as the cloaked figure plunged a sharp dagger into Sid as the sloth gasped in pain.
"NO!" Carrie screamed as tears rushed to her cheeks. She tries to run to Sid but couldn't move her legs as she can see that they were now frozen. Carrie tearfully looks at the cloaked figure as it drops Sid to the ground as Sid slowly died.
"No! SID! NOOOO!" Carrie screamed, clawing on the ground.
"Poor little girl, does she love that pathetic sloth?" the cloaked figure mocked her.
"WHY? WHY? SID WAS INNOCENT! WHY?" Carrie angrily and tearfully screamed.
The cloaked figure then removed the hood of its cloak and soon, Carrie can see the head of Victor as he licks the blood of the dagger. "Because revenge is sweet... my dear! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Victor evilly laughed.
"NOOOO!" Carrie screamed.
Suddenly, Carrie woke up as she pants heavily and turns to see Sid lying next to her, still snoring and still alive. "C-Calm down Carrie... it's just a nightmare..." Carrie whispered to herself. She kissed Sid on the forehead and snuggles with him but she couldn't get anymore sleep. "Victor is gone... he's gone forever... I have nothing to fear anymore", Carrie thought.
The sun was setting; the sky and clouds were red-orange as stars began to twinkle in the red sky. Kyle walked home before the sun sets as he was in depressed mood. Kyle looked down as he kicked a rock as he walked home. He thought about his encounter with Jack, his mind was enraged and had the thought that Jack will humiliate him. But the one question was: How did he know where Kyle would be at? His mind swirled and was confused at the moment. With anger, he kicked the rock with great strength and makes the rock fly to distance as it hit a figure; a dark figure, of course.
"Oh, my apologies! I didn't mean to-!" Kyle apologized to this mysterious figure as it turns toward him and throws the rock at Kyle. Kyle quickly ducked from the fast rock as he sternly looks at the figure. "I said I was sorry!"
"Foolish, idiot boy! How dare you kick a piece of pebble at me!" he exclaimed, his voice was menacing.
Kyle growled and faced the figure. His appearance was just a black cloak with a hint of purple and with a symbol of a violent flame on his chest and hands and the shadow covered his facial features only revealing his mouth. "What sorry, don't you understand?" Kyle shouted back, fisting his hands.
"I don't accept apologies from children like you", he said; as he made an evil grin at the boy.
"You mad!" Kyle shouted.
The cloak man stood still and answered, "My plans maybe ruined by you, so, you altered the time waves and entered the time of the Ice Age…"
Just by the word, 'Ice Age', made Kyle's eyes widen in surprise and glared at the figure. "How did you know about me time traveling to the Ice Age!"
"Ignorant buffoon… there's something called history", he laughed evilly. "Boy, you need to go back to history class…"
"What do you want!" Kyle questioned harshly, making a fighting stance.
"Why should I waste my time fighting you?" he insulted, as Kyle growled. "Ever heard of violence is never the answer…"
Kyle screamed in agony as he charged towards to the cloak man. Kyle threw a fist at the figure but he caught his fist. Kyle gasped in surprise as the figure twisted his arm as Kyle instantly dropped down and held his arm.
"Pathetic... It seems that the teachings from 'that' gorilla are no match from mines!" he grinned evilly and began to walk away but stopped. "This is why you've no friends. You can't defeat anyone…"
"Shut up! Why are you walking away, you coward?" Kyle exclaimed, holding his sore arm. The figure disappeared into the darkness as Kyle fell to the floor in sadness, watching the sun disappear.
Meanwhile in the Ice Age World, the whole herd was awakened as they just finish having breakfast. Soon, the whole herd was outside the Sanctuary as Carrie was holding Rosy in her arms as the little sloth sees a butterfly passing by.
"Babafly", Rosy gurgled.
"Yes sweetie, it's a butterfly", Carrie giggled.
"So, what are you planning to do today, Carrie?" Manny asked.
"Well, me and Sid are going to take Rosy to the playground with the other parents and kids", said Carrie.
"That's so sweet! I remember our first time we brought Peaches to the playground", Ellie replied; thinking of the good memories.
"Yeah, Sid was tied upside-down while the other toddlers kept hitting him!" Crash chuckled.
"Oh yeah... that memory", Sid groaned in annoyance, scratching his head.
"Oh honey! What happened?" Carrie asked.
"Well, apparently someone tied me upside-down to a tree while I was taking a nap", Sid replied as he sternly looks at the two possums.
"Oh gee... I-um... I wonder who could have done that…" Eddie snickered.
"Yeah... um... who…?" Crash nervously chuckled.
"Cut the innocent act guys, we know it was you two!" said Peaches as she walks to the others.
"Oh, really?" Carrie smirked at the possums.
"Yeah!" the twins nervously answered.
"We'll talk about this later…" Carrie calmly, yet, sternly replied.
Diego and Toby are prepared for their week trip; ready to leave.
"Are you ready Toby?" Diego asked.
"More than ever!" Toby replied excitedly.
"Wait a minute! Where are you two going?" Manny curiously asked.
"We're going on our week trip" said Toby.
"What week trip?" Manny asked.
"The trip we talk to you about two weeks ago and so on", Toby replied.
"I don't remember that! Where was I?" Manny asked.
"I can answer that. You're too busying butting into my life!" Peaches replied as she looks at her father a bit stubbornly.
"Peaches, I have to know what you're doing. I'm only trying to look after you and to protect you," Manny explained.
"I don't need to be followed around by you, dad! I'm fifteen-years-old! I can do whatever I want with my life!" Peaches argued.
"You're still my daughter Peaches and I expect you to listen to me", Manny replied.
"Manny, she's growing up to be a woman mammoth. Don't you think it's time she can handle some things herself?" Ellie asked.
"I just don't trust that guy who hangs out with Peaches", said Manny.
"What's wrong with Dean? He's a nice guy", Peaches answered.
"But he may not be a nice guy, ever thought of that?" Manny replied with another question.
"You are such an idiot dad!" Peaches groaned in annoyance.
"Mind your father Peaches", Ellie pointed out.
"Yes mum…" Peaches sighed.
"Well, I can see you're busy, we'll just be going", said Diego, quickly leaving with Toby.
"Hold it!" Manny replied.
"What?" Toby questioned in frustration.
"I'm not sure if this is a good idea", said Manny.
"Manny, we'll be fine", Diego reassured the bull mammoth.
"Yeah, stop worrying about us…" Toby groaned in annoyance.
"I still don't think-", Manny started.
"Manny, I swear if you ruin this trip for us, I'll-!" Toby growled.
"Toby! Calm down!" Diego sternly replied.
"Sorry Diego…" Toby murmured.
"Manny, they'll be fine and besides they said they won't be too far from us, right Diego?" Ellie asked.
"Right Ellie", Diego nodded.
"Well... Ok! Have fun guys!" Manny replied.
"Thanks Manny!" Toby said in excitement.
"Let's go little buddy", said Diego.
Soon, the herd waved goodbye to Toby and Diego as they began their week trip.
"Where is he…?" said a woman worryingly as she stared at her wrist watch.
"Don't worry… he's probably coming home right now", reassured a man, sitting on a couch; reading a newspaper in his hands.
"Honey, it's 7:30 at night, he's probably kidnapped or something. He's never this late before." The woman explained as waited for Kyle's arrival.
"I'm sure he's coming home now", her husband said as he can hear footsteps at the front door. "See, I told you his coming home."
The woman rushingly opened the door and saw Kyle's hand reaching the door as he had a surprise look in his face. Mrs. Smith had a stern stare at Kyle, with arms crossed and tapping her foot. "Listen, sorry I was late, I didn't mean to get you guys worried."
"I wasn't worried. She's the one who was worried", Mr. Smith joked.
Mrs. Smith glared at her husband and turns to Kyle. "Why are you late?"
"I-I was…" Kyle fell silent, thinking of the figure incident. "I don't want to talk about… I just want to be alone…" Kyle walked to his room slowly with his head down and closed the door hard.
"Should I-?" Mrs. Smith questioned but was cut off by her husband. "I think you should leave him alone… he just needs to cool down…"
Mrs. Smith was silent and went to the kitchen as Mr. Smith shrugged and continued to read the newspaper. Meanwhile, Kyle lay down on his bed, staring at the ceiling and sighed, "What he said… was it true? Just because I can't win something means I can't afford to have friends… Does that suppose make sense!" Kyle grabbed a plastic ball and threw it at the wall as it made him cool down his temper. "Like what happened at the market. Jack insulted me, but I knew I could've take him down but I knew I can't, so, I couldn't win… I guess it is true. The girl who helped me won and I just stayed there, like an idiot waiting for something…"
Inside the wall, the Time Machine automatically turned on and self activated to a destination as lights began to flash and began to wobble creating racket sounds. Kyle continued to throw the ball into the air as he heard rumbling noises behind the wall where the Time Machine was.
"What's making that noise?" Kyle questioned himself as he was off from his bed and walked to the wall. "Is the Time Machine making that noise?"
He flickered up a switch as the wall turned clockwise as Kyle spotted the Time Machine creating a portal. Kyle gasped of horror as gravity pull towards him to the portal. Kyle struggled to escape the strong pull as his feet was carried away from the floor and was sucked into the portal. The portal vanished like a wink of an eye.
"Have a nice traveling, Kyle…" said a figure behind the boy's bedroom window, grinned evilly as he left.
Meanwhile, Sid and Carrie are on their way back to the Sanctuary with Rosy asleep in Sid's arms when they saw a shiny light lifting from beyond the hill.
"What is that, Sid?" Carrie asked, staying close with Sid.
"I don't know but I don't think it's the sun", said Sid, getting closer with Carrie.
"Whatever it is, I got a bad feeling about this", Carrie replied worryingly.
"So, do I Carrie", Sid gulped.
At the mountains, Diego and Toby were on the start of their week trip when suddenly they saw a bright light shining a few miles from where they stand.
"What is that Diego?" Toby asked.
"I don't know" said Diego.
"Should we... I don't know... check it out?" Toby asked.
Diego looks at the wolf for a moment and then looks over and notices that the bright light has disappeared. "Alright, we'll check it out but stay close to me", said Diego.
"OK", Toby replied in agreement.
Diego and Toby then make their way to the source of the light.
"Ahhhh!" Kyle screamed as the time portal opened and released Kyle as he slammed to the floor hard as he was unconscious. Few minutes later, Kyle groaned softly, rubbing his head as his blurry vision began to fade away. As his pain went away, he jumped and looked his surroundings and was at a world where there's less snow and but more vegetation. "W-Where am I?" he questioned himself, continuing to look around if he recognizes the area.
"Hmm… I know this is not the Ice Age. The Ice Age should have more snow and less plants but this is different." Kyle observed the strange environment as he felt something on his wrist. "What the-? Why is there a watch on my wrist!" Kyle questioned as he inspects the watch.
Kyle tapped the watch as it began to function itself. The watch's screen turned to a color blue as programs and data was scripting. Then, numbers appeared counting down, backwards and a destination link that read: Ice Age. Kyle looked around in awe, beginning to think he's dreaming but wasn't.
"So, this is the Ice Age? It's different from what I remembered", Kyle said as he sat down and stared at a lake in front of him. "I'm thinking that this is after I met the herd. Probably, a few years later or so…" Kyle said as the river flowed smoothly as species of fish swam in the cool water. "I think I won't get to meet the herd, I would like to meet them again… but the question is. Why did the Time Machine take here? Is there a purpose?"
"Kyle?"
Kyle turns to see a gray wolf with dark yellow eyes and a saber-tooth tiger, which he is familiar with.
"Wow, how ironic…?" Kyle said to himself with widen eyes, yet, happy to see him.
Well Kyle is now back in the Ice Age World and he has finally going to meet his old friends and meet new ones soon! :)
But who is the mysterious man Kyle encountered?
Why does Carrie have recent nightmares about Victor again?
What will happen next?
Stay tune to find out! ;)
