Chapter 20: The Herd VS Barbossa's Pack

Back in the Ice Age world, Sid and the others were walking with Sierra as James was with Sid and is helping him control his predator side.

"Now Sid, Forget about everything that has hurt you, Let it all go and move on" James instructed.

Sid kept breathing in and out as he replies

"I'm not small and insignifict Manny, I'm special"

Manny looks back and knew that Sid was trying to let out of his haunted past as he helped him by saying

"Yes Sid, You are"

Carrie smiles at Manny as Sid said

"It's gone"

"Good Sid, Good" James replied.

"Am I doing good?" Sid asked.

"You're doing great dear" said Carrie.

"You guys must pay attention to where we're walking" Sierra added.

"We are" Toby replied.

He then sees Sierra looking disturbed as he asked

"Hey, You OK?"

"I'm fine" Sierra muttered.

"Is it about your family?" Toby asked in concern.

"Look kid, If I were you, I'd rather worried about the wife" said Sierra.

"I am concerned for my wife, Not to mention she's pregnant with my pups" Toby replied.

"Hmm! So much for being a good husband" Sierra scoffed.

Diego gave Sierra a glare and snapped

"Hey! Toby is a good husband and I know he'll be a good father"

"This coming from a sabre whose kind has killed most of my family" Sierra growled.

"Look missy! I'm not responsible for what happened to your family, so just cut the crap of being a hot head and start showing us some respect" Diego growled back.

"The day I'll start respecting you is when your species are extinct" Sierra hissed and walks off.

"Yeah, Well same to your species mutt" Diego growled.

"Hey!" Toby sternly said as he felt offended.

"Oops...Sorry" Diego nervously apologised to his adopted son.

Manny just sighed and walks up to Sierra and said

"Look Sierra, I know we may never get along with each other but we just want you to know that we would help you if you ever need help from anyone or wanting to talk to someone"

Sierra looks at Manny as deep down, she wanted to accept their help but she knew that she has to remain strong and focus as she turns away and replied

"There's nothing to talk about Manfred, I'm not bothered by anything"

Manny knew she was lying but instead he sadly replied

"Very well then"

Suddenly Toby said

"Wait!"

The others stopped as Carrie asked

"What's wrong Toby?"

"Something wicked is near" Toby softly replied with caution.

The others looked around as Sierra sniffs the air and growls

"Barbossa!"

"Barbossa? Wasn't he the guy that kicked your furry butt?" Diego smirked.

"Shut up" Sierra growled.

Soon Barbossa and three wolves appeared in front of them.

"So we meet again...my dear half sister" Barbossa evilly chuckled.

"Sister?!" The other asked in confusion.

"Half sister" Sierra grumbled.

"So is this why you called him your arch nemesis?" Diego asked.

"Indeed, we never got along and in the end, he just gave up on the pack like a coward" Sierra replied.

"Oh Sierra, You're still so naive, just like mother and father, That's why it was easy for those sabres to kill them" Barbossa evilly replied.

Sierra growled at the male wolf as Toby said

"This is your final chance Barbossa, Surrender and free our family now"

"I don't think so" Barbossa growls

"Yeah, they're not even at the Cave of Darkness" One of the wolves who was the dumb one spoken

"What?" The others said in alarmed.

"Shut up you idiot" Barbossa hissed.

"Rosy...escaped" Carrie gasped.

"Where's Leo now?" James demanded.

"Well since you morons know now, He's off to find them and kill them" Barbossa evilly replied.

"Where are they at?!" Manny shouted.

"We'll never tell you where they are but one thing for sure is that they're doom...and you'll never EVER see them again" Barbossa evilly laughed.

"No...Elisa" Toby sadly gasped.

"My baby" Carrie whimpered.

"My son" Diego stuttered.

"Louis...and Granny" Manny softly and sadly said.

"Yes, All doom and you're too late to save them" Barbossa laughed coldly.

Suddenly Sierra pins Barbossa down and snarls

"Where's Leo?! Where's the herd?!"

The others were surprised at Sierra's words as Barbossa evilly chuckled.

"Do my ears deceive me or did I hear you say the herd?"

Sierra was surprised at her own words too as she was thinking why she said that, Does she really care for the herd? Is she slowly opening up to them as the herd was thinking about that too.

Suddenly James hears Sid sobbing and snarling at the same time.

"Sid, Buddy? What's wrong?" James asked.

"Rosy...My Rosy..." Sid sobbed and then he growls again.

"Oh no! His predator instincts are taking over again" Carrie gasped.

"Sid! I need you to calm down and control yourself, Don't let the predator inside you get the better of you" James slowly and carefully instructed.

"You're a good mammal Sid, You're not a monster" Carrie comforted.

"Fight him Sid, Tear him apart" The predator instincts told him

"But I'm not violent" Sid sadly thought

"The wolf must be pay" The predator instincts told him.

"I don't hold grudges" Sid yelled in his mind

Sid's mind was full of anger and sadness as he keeps thinking of Leo torturing and killing his daughter as he could hear her painful cries for help and he could also hear Leo's evil laughter in the air.

While Sid was losing it, Diego, Manny and Toby were fighting the others wolves down as Sierra and her half brother continued fighting.

Shortly Manny, Diego and Toby knocked out all three wolves as Sierra was still having problems with dealing Barbossa.

Sid, on the other hand, places his claws on his head as he whimpers

"No...No...Please no! Don't make do this! I'm not a fighter! I'm not a fighter! I-!"

"TIME TO DIE LITTLE BRAT" Barbossa roared as he pins Sierra down and raises his claws at her.

Suddenly Sid turns into his predator side as he coldly glares at Barbossa and charges at him.

"Sid! No!" Carrie cried.

Unfortunately, the predator inside Sid's mind was ignoring Carrie's pleas as Sid grabs Barbossa's paw and kicks him away from Sierra.

"Whoa...How did you-?" Sierra started.

She stopped when Sid looks at Sierra with an glare as he dangerously heads towards her.

"Sid...What are you doing?" Sierra asked as she carefully steps back.

"Snap out of it Sid!" Manny cried.

"You're not violent Sid, You're a gentle creature" Diego also cried.

Sid growls at the two mammals when suddenly Carrie steps in front of the mammals and shouted

"Sid! STOP!"

Suddenly Sid snapped out of his predator side and was back to normal as he stuttered

"W-What happened?"

"You went psycho on Barbossa" Toby replied.

"And you almost went savage on me" said Sierra.

"Oh no...No!" Sid cried as he covers his face with shame.

Carrie runs to her husband and hugs him as she sadly replied

"It's OK Sid, We'll figure this out together, I promise darling, I swear we will sort everything out"

"Carrie...I'm scared" Sid whimpered.

"I know...Me too but we will figure this out, I promise" Carrie soothed her husband as deep down as she was afraid of the worse for both Sid and her daughter Rosy.

Suddenly they heard Barbossa roaring as he jumps forward to them and slams his big heavy paws on the ground when all of the sudden, there was a loud crack.

"What was that?" Toby asked.

They all look down when they realize that they were standing on thin ice and just before they even run back, the ice broke as the wolves and the herd falls down into the Dinosaur World.

Is Sierra opening up to the herd?

Will Sid let go of his painful past once and for all and control the predator instincts in him?

Will the herd survive the fall into the Dinosaur World?

What happens next?

Stay tune to find out!
