Okay everyone the next chapter is up! The last time you read was when the herd and the human kids felt the earth shaking from underneath them and they were wondering what happened. Now you're about to find out what'll come to you. Enjoy!
The vibration of the grounds underneath stopped shaking as everyone stood still just so they knew if another would come again as Ravi held onto his sister's waist with Zari's arm around her brother bringing him close to her while the herd stayed into complete silence. Everything and everyone just stayed for a moment of silence. Zari looked back down at the crack that flowed through the ice.
"What just happened?" asked Zari
"If it's another shake I sure hope it doesn't bring all the girls to my yard" said Sid as he stood up looking all dizzy
From where Manny, Sid, Diego, and Shira are, they were on the side of the cliff edge with Zari and Ravi; Elle, Peaches, Crash and Eddie, and Louis stayed on the side near the forest awat from the crack.
"Ellie, Peaches! Are you okay?" asked Manny worriedly
"Yeah" Peaches answered
"We're okay Manny" Ellie assured him.
"Could someone want to tell me what was that?" Shira asked
Suddenly a light vibration shook the ground gently as it was coming around again. Diego looked around suspiciously seeing any signs to make sure as he sniffed the air a few times. Then suddenly his ears flickered up as he could hear and feel the vibration flowing through his body.
"Diego, you don't think it couldn't be? Or could it?" Sid asked as he walked over to Diego
"I don't know, maybe…" said Diego
"STOP" Zari yelled making the mammoth, the sloth, and the two sabers freeze when the four were about to take another step.
"What?" asked Diego in a questionable tone
"Don't…move" Zari ordered him to not take another step
"Why?" asked Sid
"Because it's a bad idea" Zari answered
"Why?" asked Sid again
"Because I'm being cautious" Zari answered him again
"Why?" asked Sid for the third time
"Because…" Zari stopped when this was suddenly started to get really annoying. "…why are you still talking?"
"Because Sid is why he's always being Sid" Diego told the girl
"Well that explains why" said Zari seeing it satisfying clear. "But what I'm trying to tell you is don't move another step"
"Why shouldn't we?" asked Manny agitatedly
"If you move it could probably cause something else" Zari affirmed him
"Oh yeah right" Manny scoffed as he walked up to the girl with an agitated look on his face. "Just like when you shot that stick-thingy that almost struck my loved ones"
"Hey I'm trying to protect you here tub-tubs" Zari affirmed him
"I' am not fat, I'm poufy!" Manny yelled at her back
"Yeah and pouty too" Zari yelled back
Just as Manny and Zari started making a fuss, Ravi noticed some sudden cracks that started flowing through the ice as the boy watched the flowing cracks go around the cliff edge like it was just only going around the cliff edge and the boy gulped nervously.
"Umm, guys…" said Ravi
"You know for a guy with less respect for people you really do know how to put on a show here" Zari yelled at Manny
"Well at least I don't point sharp things when they're trying to talk them out of it before they shoot it!" Manny yelled
"Umm, hey guys…" said Ravi when he could feel the vibration going under his feet again
"You should be more aware of your surroundings when you try to hurt somebody!" Manny yelled
"Oh well…maybe you should of thought of that before you almost made me capsized your friends genius" Ravi yelled
"Yeah, when I was trying to calm you" Manny yelled
"Whimp!" Zari yelled
"Whiner!" Manny yelled
"Fatso!" Zari yelled
"Drama Queen!" Manny yelled
Suddenly an intraplate earthquake started to erupt from underground causing the other side of the cliff edge to start crumbling as Manny, Sid, Diego, Shira, Zari, and Ravi splitting the ground in two.
"WHOA" everyone cried as they crumbled to their feet
Large chunks of land started to break apart and started falling towards the ocean and Manny, Sid, Diego, Shira, Zari and Ravi started to fall along as they were on it.
Ellie and Peaches cried over to what was happening and Ellie hurried over and locked her trunk with Manny's.
"AGH!" Sid screamed in terror as he held onto Diego of what was happening
Zari and Ravi fell to the ground as Ravi quickly held onto Zari as they were seeing that the large chunk of land started to break apart.
"What happening!" cried Ravi
As the two mammoths held onto each other the ground underneath started to spread apart as Manny and Ellie tried to pull each other back together but it was too strong for both of them to handle.
"Ellie!" cried Manny
"Manny!" cried Ellie
Manny couldn't hold on much longer and his trunk slipped and he fell to the ground and Ellie cried. "NO"
Peaches gasped as she rushed over to her mother along with Crash, Eddie, and Louis with her as they headed over to see if her father was okay.
"DADDY" cried Peaches
"Get back!" Manny told them
Suddenly the large chunk of land they were on started to slide backwards making Manny, Sid, Diego, Shira, Zari and Ravi slide back.
"WHOA" they cried as they slide backwards.
Ravi pulled out his dagger and he gave it to Zari and as Zari grabbed her brother by the hand, she stabbed it into the ice preventing them to keep falling.
"Ravi!" cried Zari
"Zari, I-I'm slipping!" Ravi cried
Ravi's hands started to slip as Zari tried to hold his hand tighter so she wouldn't let go but the boy's hands got even sweatier as Ravi looked like he wasn't going to hold it for much longer.
"Hang on, Ravi!" said Zari
Suddenly Sid came flying past them as he screamed all the way done as he fell.
"AGH!" cried Sid till suddenly he bounced over a rock and then did multiple flips into the air till the sloth managed to grab the tree as he held onto it tight; Diego and Shira came sliding in as they tried to tract their claws into the ground but it couldn't hold for that much longer as they came flying in till they both managed to track their claws on the boulders.
"Zari!" cried Ravi
"I got you Ravi, don't let go just hang on" Zari told him
Zari looked back up when she saw that Manny was trying to reach his family as he tried finding other ways to get across to reach them. Zari knew he was going to do something that could get himself killed so she knew what to do.
As Manny tried running towards the split of the other side the ground started to crumble even more but Manny knew he wouldn't give up yet.
"Hurry dad, hurry!" cried Peaches
"C'mon you're almost there!" cried Louis
Just as Manny was about to make the jump, Zari came jumping in as she did a super kick in the air knocking Manny to the ground stopping him.
"YOU LITTLE BRAT, WHY DID YOU…" Manny yelled angrily
"You never would have made it" Zari affirmed him
Manny looked down when she saw that the girl was right when he saw that the other side was wider and longer for even for him to jump across as Ellie, Peaches, Crash and Eddie, and Louis watched them with scared expressions on their faces.
The large chunks of the cliff edge made a large echoing sound and suddenly it slowly started to fall backwards. Manny, Sid, Diego, Shira, Zari, and Ravi felt the ground move from under down as they started to feel it too.
Manny and Zari, however, started sliding back since they were up at the way front as they were about to fall back with the others as the two screamed.
"WHOA" cried Zari
"AGH" cried Manny
"Manny! No!" cried Ellie
"Daddy don't go again please!" cried Peaches
"We'll be okay! Just get out if here, we'll meet you on the other side" Manny shouted out
"No, Manny, no!" cried Ellie
"We'll find you, I promise!" Manny shouted out
The large chunk of land was now falling into the ocean as other pieces of land went along with it too as everything started to fall apart and go straight into the surface.
"Zari!" cried Ravi
Zari looked form over her shoulder to see Ravi still hanging onto the dagger as the chunk of land from which he was laying on started to crack till it started to break apart.
Zari's eyes widened with fear. "Ravi, slide towards the left side"
"I can't the dagger's stuck, I can't get it out!" cried Ravi as he tried to pull his weapon out of the ground
Suddenly once the chunk broke Ravi went sliding towards the edge as the boy screamed in terror.
"Ravi!" cried Zari
"AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH" Ravi screamed at the top of his lungs till a familiar trunk grabbed him by the shirt collar and pulled him back up as Ravi past over Zari and when Zari turned around she saw that Manny had grasped him into his trunk to safety.
Zari couldn't believe her eyes at this, but she knew she felt thankful and relieved that her little brother was saved by that mean fat-headed mammoth.
"You okay?" Manny asked as he raised the boy up in his trunk
Ravi nodded as his scared expression didn't go away from his face.
The large chunk of the whole cliff edge started falling down into the ocean and as they started to go Ellie and Peaches cried out.
"MANNY, NO!" cried Ellie
"ELLIE, PEACHES! YOU HAVE TO GET TO SAFETY! GO, GO NOW!" Manny ordered
The large chunk of the whole cliff edge collided with the water as it started to go down under. Zari looked behind and her eyes widened with surprise as the large chunk started sinking to the ocean floor and she quickly got to her feet again and started running up towards Manny and Ravi.
Once Manny placed the young boy on his back, Zari grabbed a handful of Manny's fur and climbed up and once she did she held onto Ravi.
"Zari…" said Ravi
"Hang on!" said Zari
The two human kids held onto Manny's fur and as the water was about to collide with them everything went under water. Everything that they were on was completely destroyed but luckily Manny could see a giant chunk of land floating right up and he quickly got a hold of it as he came flowing right back up along with Sid, Diego, and Shira till they were floating on the surface again. They were all now floating a large chunk of ice
Zari and Ravi started coughing from the water as they jumped right off of Manny's back as Ravi got to his knees as he continued coughing all the water out and Zari patted him on the back.
Ellie, Peaches along with Crash, Eddie, and Louis watched with horror till chunks started to break from underneath them.
"Ellie!" cried Crash and Eddie as they held onto each other
"Peaches!" cried Louis
Ellie quickly plucked her possum brothers into her trunk as Peaches plucked Louis into hers as well too.
"Louis, Mom!" cried Peaches
"Get back, get back!" Ellie ordered Ellie, Crash, Eddie, and Louis as the five stepped away from the crumbling grounds.
Manny stood back up again and looked back to see if everyone made it on. "Is everyone okay?"
"Yeah think so" said Diego as he stood up from the ground
"Not me" Shira blurted out. "I just got my fur cleaned today"
"Sid! Sid where are you! Give me a sign!" Manny called out
"AGH… (THUMP)" Sid cried till he landed face first to the ground with a harsh crash
"Yep, Sid's here, he's fine" said Manny seeing Sid was just being Sid again
Diego suddenly saw something larger coming towards them and Diego shouted out. "MANNY, LOOK"
Manny turned around when he saw an even more large chunk of land falling towards them as his eyes widened up and he quickly turned to everybody.
"EVERYBODY GRAB ONTO SOMETHING, ITS GOING TO BE A BUMPY RIDE!" Manny ordered
Diego and Shira grabbed tract their claws in the ice again as Zari and Ravi quickly ran over and grabbed onto the tree. Ravi saw Sid who was still unconscious grabbed his paw and held onto it so he wouldn't fall overboard. Manny looked back up and as the larger chunk started falling it made the loudest splash ever causing the current to pull them away as they floating chunk of ice started floating out into seas.
As the others on the floating ice berg tried to stand up, Manny watched over the distance where he saw Ellie, Peaches and the others watched with worried expressions as they went off.
"DADDY!" cried Peaches
"NEVER GIVE UP!" Manny shouted out "NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY, NEVER LOSE HOPE AND ALWAYS KEEP TRYING!"
