Chapter 8: Woodland Danger Part II

In the deepest part of the woods, Sid, Fang and the young boar are trying to find a good spot to hide from the pirates. But unknown to them, the trio are quietly being stalked by a baryonyx who is hiding out in trees. The young boar shivers with anticipation and the wolf turns around to growl in caution as he notices someone following them.

"Fang, what's going on?" Sid asked as the boar snuggles against the sloth while shivering with anticipation.

"I thought I heard something following us." Fang replied with caution.

"What is it?" The sloth nervously asked the wolf.

"Hmm… Maybe it was just nothing." The wolf replied as he walks ahead of the sloth and the piglet.

"OK, then…" The sloth replied as he picks up the young swine in his arms and follows the wolf.

The trio continues to trek deeper into the woods while the baryonyx continues to quietly stalk them.


In the other part of the woods, Scrat is walking with a content look on his face as he lost Scratte. The gray saber-toothed squirrel is glad to be away from the female and spotted a lone acorn by the tree. He was about to make a dash for but he sensed something wrong, it was way too easy for him so the gray rodent hid quietly snuck towards to the acorn and hid on the side of the tree. Scrat looks around the area only to shrug without worry as he walks out to grab the acorn and leave until a familiar shadow flew overhead of him which made the male stop in his tracks and shivers as he felt his blood run cold. The rodent slowly looks up to see the female reddish-brown saber-toothed squirrel flew over him and the grey held his acorn tightly but the latter screamed and dropped the said item to flee for his life from the female. Scratte heard a scream to look back to see her dumper and she growled to make a u-turn to dive bomb the male. Scrat ran as fast as his legs can take him but the female is closing in on him and she dive bombs the male to the ground. The rodent looks up at the female reddish-brown rodent and pleaded for her to let him go but she grins darkly at him and cracked her knuckles only to make the male gulp in fear.


Back to the sloth and the others, they heard an earsplitting scream from the other part of the woods and the boar shivered next to the sloth.

"What was that?" Sid asked the wolf.

"I dunno. Maybe someone either is getting pounded or just hurt themselves." Fang replied.

"Huh… Well, OK." The sloth replied.

"By the way, ever thought of naming the little pork chop?" The wolf asked about the young swine.

"Oh, well… I was thinking of Rampant." The sloth answered about the boar's name.

"Why'd you pick that name?" The wolf asked with a smirk.

"Well, because you know, boars are difficult to the control sometimes." The sloth answered and laughs as the young boar nuzzles the sloth's legs.

"I hear that, man." The wolf replied as he laughs at the sloth.

Suddenly a breath blows over the three and all the laughter from the mammals stopped.

"Um, Fang? Was that the wind?" Sid nervously asked the wolf as he picked up the boar.

"Nooo… Also, I think that monstrosity wants to make a snack out of us." Fang replied and gestures his paw towards the red eyes between the trees.

Sid turned around and squeaked in fear as he remembers those red eyes filled with bloodlust. The sloth took off like a rocket with the boar in his arms and the wolf did the same. Rudy came from behind the trees and started to chase down the sloth, boar and wolf.


In the other part of the woods, Diego, Manny, Shira and Buck heard a familiar roar and they stopped in their tracks.

"So good ol' Snowflake is up here now, eh?" Buck asked himsef as his face turns into a twisted grin.

"Rudy? That's the dino you've been fighting for a long time, right?" Shira asked the weasel.

"Aye, lass… He must've followed me up here while I was searchin' the changes up here." The weasel replied.

"Oh, that's swell… First, the pirates and now, Rudy? What's-" Manny was cut off from a familiar scream.

"Is that…Sid's voice?" Diego asked in a worried.

"We better hurry now!" The weasel urged as he and the others rush to the sloth's aid.


Back in the other part of the woods, the sloth carrying the boar in his arms and the wolf are running for their life from the albino dinosaur.

"So, Sid. Where'd this huge lizard come from? I thought they were extinct!" Fang asked the sloth while running.

"Uh, yeah… It's a long story, Fang. I'll explain later." Sid replied as he kept running with Rampant in his arms.

The mammals continue running until they see a hand out from bushes that's gesturing the males to go there. They followed the gesture and dove into the bushes narrowly missing Rudy's jaws. The baryonyx searches the area for the moment and left to the other part of the woods. Sid peeked out from the bushes and sees no sign of the murderous dino.

"OK… I think he's gone…" The sloth announced as he stepped out of bushes while catching his breath with the boar in his arms.

"That…was too…close…" The wolf said as he steps out of the bushes catching his breath too.

"You jongens (boys) and your adventures…" The figure steps out of the bushes and looks like a red weasel.

"Enough with the fairy tale disguise, Syra." The wolf jokingly berates the red creature.

"What?" The sloth asked as he put the boar down.

"Humph!" Syra turns back into her red siren form as she pouts at the wolf.

"Hey, you're the girl from the ship." The sloth said to the aquatic creature.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Sid." The young siren greeted the sloth as she stretches her fin.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Syra. It's a lovely name for a little girl." The sloth as he shook her fin.

"Little? I have u (you) know that I'm very volwassen (mature)." The siren stated in a slight Dutch dialect.

"Volwassen? You mean 'mature', right?" The sloth asked about the creature's foreign language.

"Sorry… My dad speaks in Dutch so I geerfd (inherit) it from him." The siren explained.

"That's a great inheritance from your dad, Sy." The sloth commented.

"Great? I hated talking like this- Wait… Sy? Did u (you) just call me 'Sy'?" The siren asked the sloth about her name.

"It's a good nickname from me to you. It suits you!" The sloth explained as he strokes the fish creature's head.

"Hmmm… It does have a certain ring to it… Yeah, I like it." The siren agreed to the nickname.

"Also, I thought sirens live in the water…" The sloth stated the obvious.

"Oh, that… Yeah, we can sometimes live on land too." The siren replied about her habitat changes.

"Wow… That's really cool." The sloth replied in awe.

"Alright, enough about me. What's your history with that supposed-to-be-extinct dino?" The siren asked.

"Yeah, I was wondering the same thing too, Siddy." Fang said as he sat down wanting to know about Rudy.

"Well… It's like this…" The sloth started his story as he sat down with the young boar in his arms.


In the other part of the woods, the pirates and sabers are back together but Gupta, Squint and Zeke are being carried on the elephant seal's back.

"Some crew you got, Gutt. It's embarrassing that they lost to a sloth and a wolf." Soto remarked about the pirates' failure.

"Your brother lost as well, matey..." Gutt remarks about Zeke.

"Zeke's not much of a fighter… He lacks physical stamina." The smilodon leader states about Zeke's condition.

"But Soto-" Zeke started but was cut off by Soto's outburst.

"That's enough out of you, Zeke!" The leader bellowed to the saber causing him to flatten his ears in sadness.

"Anyway, so how are we gonna find Diego, the mammoth and the others?" Oscar asked the leaders.

"Simple, I can track his scent for miles." The leader replied.

"An' that roar we heard a few minutes ago?" Raz asked with an angered tone.

"If we keep moving, we'll get the landlubbers before something else does." The captain urged the others.

The group of villains continues walking through the woods in hopes of finding the herd.


Back to the other part of the woods, Sid's group is resting by the tree base as the sloth finishes his story.

"Wow… An entire underground world inhabited by dinos…" Syra said while awestruck to Sid's tale.

"So I guess that explains that monster who chased us, right?" Fang asked about the albino dinosaur.

"Rudy? Oh yeah… Buck's lifelong rival…" Sid replied about the baryonyx.

"Speaking of Rudy… Is that him?" The siren points to the albino dinosaur that's looking down on the group.

The others turn to see Rudy growling at them with the thought of killing and eating them.

"Maybe if we don't move, he won't attack." The siren suggested.

"Uh, Sy? That works on another dino I mentioned in my story. Rudy just attacks even when you are standing still." The sloth explained to the siren.

"Oh…well crud…" The siren said in defeat as she turns into a red saber and dashes off.

Sid, Rampant and Fang did the same also and they all fled from the dino which causes the monstrous reptile to chase them. Rudy attempted to dive at them but they immediate switched to another path only to narrowly miss the dino's attack. The sloth's group eventually ran into the pirates and skid to a halt.

"Aw, great…" Sid said in disappointment as he sees the evil group.

"Well, well… If it isn't the landlubber who humiliated my crew like last time…" Gutt remarked with an evil grin.

"And if it isn't the overgrown monkey who nearly killed me…" Sid remarked which made the wolf, siren and his young pet boar laugh.

"Bein' funny again, huh?" Raz bitterly asked the sloth with a grimace.

"That and we're outta here." The siren said and bolted first only to have the others follow suit.

The pirates and sabers dashes off to chase the 4 fleeing mammals into another fork path. Sid and Syra went one way while Fang and Rampant went the other path as the villains split apart to two different paths in the woods. The sloth skids to a halt as he sees the albino walking his way and spots him with a growl.

"Great…" Sid said as he turns the other way and head towards the villains only to dodge out of the way and so did the siren. "Ya can play with Rudy for a bit!" He shouted at them.

"Laters!" Syra added.

"What's that supposed to- aw hell…" Lenny was cut short as he and the other villains see the monstrous dino heading towards them.

"Bail, bail, bail!" Squint urged his companions as he dashes away from the dino and the latter follows suit.

Sid and Syra came back to the fork in the road and decide to head to the other path where the wolf and young went while the villains flee for their life from the reptile.


Meanwhile, further from the sloth and siren, Fang triumphantly stood his ground as he looks at the fallen kangaroo, boar and saber while staring at Gutt with a smirk.

"Had enough yet?" Fang asked the captain as the primate growls in anger.

"You're no normal mutt are ye?" Gutt asked the wolf.

"I am… I'm just as strong as any other lone wolf." The wolf replied.

"I've been hearing rumors about a pack of wolves that're tougher than almost every other pack." Soto stated about the wolf's pack.

"It's true my dad and grandpa's pack is better than most groups sometimes but we're not one to judge." The wolf replied.

"Fine but don't think you're out of the woods yet." The saber leader said as he got into his fighting stance.

Before Soto attacks Fang, he was ambushed by the sloth and siren only to be tackled to the ground by them.

"Hey, guys." Sid greeted as he and Syra got off the saber leader and ran up to the wolf.

"Welcome to the party." The wolf joked at the two while the young boar continues to hide behind him.

"Ye let your guard down, matey." The primate remarked to the saber leader who got up and growls at the sloth and siren.

"That's the last time you're gonna pull a stunt like that, sloth!" The saber leader retorted as he lunges at the sloth.

Sid narrowly dodges the attack sees Fang retaliates by ramming Soto into the tree. Gutt smirks and charges at the sloth and nearly hits him with his sword but the sloth dodges.

"Nice try…" Sid said while dodging as he picks up the kangaroo's weapon to use to block Gutt's attacks.

The sloth gets into a swordfight with the captain and soon slices the primate in the right hip only to make Gutt howl in pain. Soto sees this and shakes the biting wolf off him and bites Sid on the arm where he's holding the weapon. But the sloth retaliates by kicking the saber in the gut to force him to let go.

"Sid! Let's tag team. What do you say?" Fang said as he got between the sloth and saber.

"Sounds good to me!" The sloth replied eagerly as he and the wolf turned back-to-back against each other ready to fight.

"Don't waste your breath! I've been a highly experienced fighter since I was leading my pack!" Soto stated about his status.

"I've been in a lot of fights myself and I never lost a single one." Gutt stated about his status too.

Sid was facing toward Soto while Fang was facing Gutt as they get ready to fight. The saber started to pounce on the Sid but the sloth dodges and tries to swipe at the saber with the pirate weapon. The wolf dodges the primate's sword swipes and tries to bite the captain but Gutt narrowly dodges.

"Ooh! Show 'em who tough, Captain!" Flynn cheered while Silas is watching with concern.

"C'mon, sloth and mutt! Kick their ruthless asses!" Syra also cheered while Rampant squealed in excitement.

"We have names you know!" Both the sloth and wolf replied in unison causing the siren to scoff in amusement.

Fang and Sid managed to injure their adversaries and they got hit in return. They switched sides making the sloth face the primate captain while the wolf faces the saber.

"Last time I saw you, ye were a yellow-bellied landlubber but now… I like your attitude…" Gutt stated towards.

"I'm not in the mood to join your group." Sid boldly stated.

"Too bad… I'll have to- eh?" The ape stopped himself short and heard the same roar from before.

The rest of the pirates and sabers came up to the fight scene exhausted from running and this causes Gutt and Soto to be crossed with them.

"And where were you slackers been?" The captain asked indignantly.

"Running from a dino…" Gupta replied to the ape.

"Is it a giant, whitish dinosaur with red eyes?" Fang asked the exhausted villains.

"Yeah… How'd you know?" Squint asked the wolf.

"Had a slight encounter with him…" Sid stated.

"Speaking of the evil dino that's trying to kill us, is that him?" The siren asked them.

Everyone turns to see Rudy snorting and growling at the mammals with a hungry look on his face.

"And were screwed…" Zeke stated the obvious.

"Literally…" Squint added.


Things aren't looking well for the mammals… Will they escape Rudy or become his lunch? But when will Manny, Diego, Shira and Buck arrive to the scene?
