Back with Manny and the gang they were walking through an open field of snow as they continued their way towards Half-Peak before Sid started to complain about how hot his feet were getting. The others ignored him for that statement for a sec when the ground under their feet started to shake. Chaos soon began under a geyser of lava suddenly shot out from behind them and they quickly started to run for their lives before they soon found themselves walking across a bridge of ice hanging over a river of lava. The group quickly made across safely to the other side, but at the process Chaos, who was being carried by Manny's back snapped. Zari quickly grabbed the vine and held on as she laid on the edge of the remainder of the ice bridge and struggled with all her might to pull Chaos up. Manny saw what was happening and he quickly made his way back as he wrapped his trunk around Zari's waist and flung her and Chaos to the solid ground. Diego quickly caught Zari on his back while Chaos landed on his head. Manny was about to make his way back to the group, but soon found himself falling along with a piece of ice towards the river of lava below. For a split second the group was terrified on what had happened before they were taken by surprise when Manny was suddenly up into the air by a geyser of stream before landing back down on the ground where the group made sure that he was alright. Chaos, which had spat out his gage again, sat up and looked at the group in surprise before asking why Manny and Zari had saved him. Zari replied that unlike Shadow and Zelena, she doesn't abandon anyone who might need help and Manny followed it up is that in a herd you look out for one another. That made Chaos look at the group in confusion before sheepishly thanking them as he began to think about how he and his brothers had been while they were little and had always looked out for each other.

Well here's the second part of White Hunter's idea so enjoy!


Walking and walking as Manny and the group tagged along as they were passing the open field of snow for a couple hours dangling in the deep snow.

Zari was walking in the back as she lowered her head still thinking about Ravi. She hoped he was okay and that he didn't get himself into any more trouble.

Just then Manny noticed Half-Peak right up ahead. "Well everyone would you look at that! There it is!"

When Diego noticed it he sighed. "That place held so many bad memories for me"

"Don't you mean for all three of us?" Manny asked sarcastically

"Whatever" Diego scoffed

"Let's hope we're not too late" Shira replied

"If we're late for swimming I ain't going to take my fur off for anybody" Granny blurted out

Manny, Diego, and Shira looked at each other before the three cringed in disgust fearing the worse from Granny.

Zari stifled a laugh. She knew one of Granny's stupid excuses would get her head out of thought with a little entertainment.

Suddenly Sid came walking up next to Zari and he rested his arm over her shoulder. "Do you hear that kiddo! We're almost to Ravi!"

Zari didn't answer but made a slight nod as she continued to walk towards the others.

While Sid continued he suddenly stopped when he smelled something really funky and he looked down at the bottom of his feet. He noticed the snow was quickly starting to melt as heat waves started rising up and his feet were starting to get wet.

"Hey guys my feet are sweating again" Sid told everyone

"Sid for all we know, is that we don't want to know" Diego scoffed

"Does he do this for attention?" Shira asked whisperingly

"Surprisingly yes, just ignore him" Manny told her to do

"No guys seriously, my feet are really burning…hot, oh, oh, oh hot, hot, hot" Sid cried as the ground started to get hotter and he quickly hurried over to catch up with the others.

The snow from under started melting really quickly and then suddenly a loud echoing rumble came from the ground. The others soon stopped suspiciously.

"What was that?" asked Zari

"Please tell me that was one of your stomachs…" Manny replied

"Shush" Diego shushed her as he tried to listen

"Hey, why did the snow suddenly got lower?" Shira asked when she noticed how low the snow was the ground already

"Ah tigey-wigey haven't you ever heard of global warming?" Granny asked her

Shira frowned and looked away before Sid came walking up by her side. "Relax Shira; I'm sure it was just thunder. From…under…ground?"

Just before Sid said that the ground started echoing loud rumble noises from underneath. It sound waves started to get higher as it started reaching its way to the top. Suddenly the ice blew up in the air and hot flaming lava came spurring out.

(BAM)

"RUN" Manny shouted ordering everyone

Everyone got into panic as they all quickly started making their way away from the lava. Suddenly more lava came spurring out of the ground as grounds started to tumble down to a flowing steaming bowling river of lava from below their feet as geysers were blowing out from the bottom. Also chunks of ice were starting to fall off making a one way bridge across as the group made their way.

Suddenly part of the bridge broke off making Zari stop completely and she looked down as the boiling lava was starting to heat up.

Zari looked back up to see how the others were doing as they tried making their way across.

"C'mon, c'mon keep up with me you guys!" Sid called everyone in the back as he ran in pace

Unfortunately Sid was running on ice which didn't allow him to run any quicker as he stayed exactly at his spot.

"I would if you were still moving!" Manny shouted

Sid couldn't take it anymore and he flopped himself on the ground. He slowly turned his head to Manny.

"Hey buddy, remember that wish I asked for about jumping…" Sid asked Manny

"Wish granted!" said Manny

Manny used his foot and his kicked Sid right up in the air.

"AGH" Sid screamed

Sid crash-landed on the ground before sliding on the ice before crashing his head on a boulder.

"C'mon move faster!" Diego ordered

"I'm moving as fast as I can!" Manny affirmed him as he tried making his way across

"Well move faster I don't want to end of broiled!" Shira ordered

So with diving reactions, Shira dived under and placed Granny on her back as she and Diego went pass Manny as the two safely made it across.

As Manny started making his way across, Chaos, who was tied on Manny's back accidently fell off and smashed to the ground.

Chaos, who was asleep, woke up and he looked across and he noticed Manny and the others were on the other side.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! HMPH, what's the big idea?" said Chaos sternly

Once Chaos realized he was as far away from Manny and the others and he made a goofy looking expression on his face finally realizing he was free.

"Oh YUK, YUK, YUK, YUK, YUK, so long suckers…" said Chaos happily before he looked down and saw the lava from beneath him "NYAGH" he cringed fearfully

Chaos panicked so long he suddenly started to roll himself off the ice bridge.

Zari, who was still on the other side looked up and noticed that Chaos was about to roll himself off and to his fate. She couldn't let that happen, so with jumping reactions she took a couple steps back and with hesitation she made a running start. Zari started to run as fast as she could till finally she jumped up in the air and over the hot boiling lava and back onto the other side of the ice bridge.

Once Zari hit the ice she slid on the side of her body and towards Chaos before he fell into the lava.

"NYAGH" exclaimed Chaos fearfully seeing his life was about to end

But luckily, Zari got to him just in time and she quickly grabbed the vine. Just before Chaos was about to crash into the lava, he bounced all the way back up twirling up like a yo-yo.

"Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo" exclaimed Chaos fearfully

"Hang on, I got you!" Zari called to him

"NYAGH, hey Duke, hey Thorn help me, help me!" cried Chaos as he continues to roll all the way back up into a yo-yo

Zari struggled to pull Chaos up as she laid on the edge of the remainder of the ice bridge. Suddenly she started slipping as Chaos's squirming started pulling her down. She suddenly fell off but luckily her feet managed to grasp to the edge of the bridge. She was now dangling on her feet keeping perfectly still as her body started to heat up.

Chaos on the other hand started burning up, but started to smell like fried chicken.

"Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo" exclaimed Chaos fearfully

Once Manny was about to reach other others on the other side, he quickly looked back and noticed Zari was in trouble. He saw how her feet were dangling on the ice and he knew she was about to hold on for much longer.

Manny quickly turned back to the others. "Stay here"

"Manny be careful!" Sid called to him

"It's dangerous out there!" Diego called out to him

"You'll get fried!" Shira called to him

Manny was slowly making his approach to Zari as he watched cautiously from below him making sure the ice wasn't melting.

"Zari" Manny cried

Zari looked up. "Manny I can't hold on much longer"

"Hang on, I'm coming!" Manny called as he made his way over

"Hurry up I'm slipping!" cried Zari

Zari's feet couldn't take it anymore and she slipped and started falling. But luckily, thanks to Manny who caught her by wrapping his trunk around her waist. Chaos was about to crash into the lava before he rolled all the way back up.

"Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo" exclaimed Chaos fearfully

Sid, Diego, and Shira looked very terrified by the action. Suddenly the ice underneath Manny started to crack. Manny knew he needed to act fast, so with fast reflexes, he flung Zari and Chaos away to the solid ground.

"AGH" Zari screamed

"NYAGH" exclaimed Chaos

"Whoa!" Diego quickly jumped out to catch Zari and Zari landed right on Diego's back.

"You okay?" Diego asked with concern

Zari nodded and wrapped her arms around Diego's neck. "Yeah"

Unfortunately for Chaos he landed right on top of his head.

(BONK)

"Oh!" cried Chaos with pain

Manny started making his way back till suddenly another crack came in the ground. Everyone was suddenly in awe.

Suddenly before Manny looked back up, the ice broke from underneath him and he started falling towards the lava.

Zari's eyes widened and she hurriedly ran to the edge. "Manny!"

Manny made a trumpeting sound as he fell towards the lava.

Zari watched as her heart began racing her face began dripping. The others looked terrified when they watched their friend disappear out of sight.

Zari looked back feeling shocked and paralyzed as the others lowered their heads but suddenly just then, geyser spurred out carrying a chunk of ice in the air who had revealed to be Manny. Manny went flying up in the air before falling right back down to the ground till he made a harsh crash.

Diego quickly grabbed Zari's shirt with his teeth and pulled her back as everyone ducked for cover before Manny landed harshly on the ground.

(CRASH)

Dust blew out of the way and Manny revealed to be unconscious. Zari quickly rushed over and she felt Manny's heart; she could feel it still pounding and she rushed over right in front of him.

"Manny" Zari called his name. "Manny, Manny, Manny, c'mon open your eyes please"

Sid hurriedly rushed over. "Manny c'mon speak to me, c'mon say something? Anything?"

Manny slowly began to open his eyes. There he saw Zari who gave him a worried expression before the girl sighed with relief. Then he narrowed his eyes to Sid.

Manny began mumbling words to Sid.

"What, what's that, I can't hear you?" Sid asked with concern

"You're standing…on my trunk" Manny mumbled

Sid looked down and suddenly realized he was right and he released his foot off of Manny's trunk. "Oh!"

Manny breathed through his trunk gasping all the air.

Zari smiled and began to laugh and she covered her mouth with her hand feeling so relieved.

"Oh boy you're okay, you're okay" said Sid seeing Manny wasn't hurt

Diego and Shira hurriedly rushed to Manny.

"You had us scared for a minute buddy" Diego told Manny

"Don't ever do that again, please" Shira told him

Diego turned to Shira and smirked. "What you weren't scared were you?"

"What? Me? No way I'm strong like you" Shira affirmed him

"Yeah" said Diego sarcastically. "But you're also a kitty"

Diego then kissed Shira on the lips again and she began purring delightfully. Manny stifled a laugh before looking at Zari.

Zari smiled joyously before she placed her hand on Manny's face.

"You sure are full of surprises" Zari told him

"Hey I'm a mammoth, it's what I do for a living" Manny told her in a sarcastic tone

Chaos suddenly came around again and he stood himself up before he got his head back in place and he cleared his thoughts.

"Hey you meat-heads saved me" said Chaos. "But why? The boss and the mistress never would have done that for me?"

Zari walked over to him and explained. "Well maybe unlike you're boss and mistress, I never leave those who are in trouble or behind. I stay back and fight for what's right and that's saving their lives and it was my duty to save your life"

"HMPH, but why save me even when I'm not on your side?" Chaos asked once more

Manny got himself up and he walked over to stand beside Zari as Sid, Diego, Shira, and Granny came along with him.

"It's what you do when you're in a herd" Manny explained to him. "You look out for each other"

"Maybe that's what you're boss needs to start doing instead of thinking about himself" Diego told him

"Yeah because the only thing he's doing is treating you and you're brothers like you guys don't even exist" Shira told him.

"Yeah and you should start standing up to that big-nose-beak instead of acting like a dummy, and give him the whooping of his life!" Granny told him

"Gee thanks" Chaos thanked them sheepishly

Chaos confusingly thought in a moment of confusion and he started thinking like he's never done before in his life. He remembered how he and his brothers were little hatchlings and how they always stayed together and always have each other's backs no matter what. And now for some reason he began to feel thankful for what the herd had just done for him.
