Hey everyone it's me again! Just so I don't keep you all waiting again here's the next chapter! This is my final chapter before the big finale so just sit back and enjoy!
Hamlin was defeated and Rudy was finally gone for good. All the Guanlong's had ran off leaving Lava Falls in its place of lonesome place and Momma Dino was finally reunited safely with her children at last. Everything was back to the way it should be…well for now.
As for the herd, they finally reached the cave in time to see how the others were doing.
In this inaudible moment scene, everyone came walking in as Ellie and Peaches were the first to be reunited as they formed a large hug around Manny bursting out into tears of happiness. Ravi joined in on the reunion as he squeezed in between the mammoths so he would get snuggled in, and with a little help Manny plucked the boy by the shirt collar and lifted him up and squeezed him into between Ellie and Peaches so that the boy could hug all three of the mammoths together. Zari joined in on the reunion too, but this time she was bursting into tears and buried her face into Ellie's fur; Ellie wrapped her trunk around her daughter's waist as Peaches did as well as she and her daughter comforted Zari with their love. All mammoths, possums, humans, and mole hog were hugging it out as one big group.
Sid and Granny were hugging it out too, as Duke, Thorn, and Chaos joined in on the love. But just as Granny was about to be suffocated, she demanded the four to be released and when they did the old sloth raised a paw up and slapped the four right in the face.
(SLAPPING ALL FOUR)
Granny's slap was so powerful it knocked Sid along with Duke, Thorn, and Chaos right into unconsciousness as the four fell over back on the ground leaving Granny with a victorious smile across her face.
Diego and Shira exchanged kisses on the lips before nuzzling under each other's shoulders; then Hunter and Lily came running towards their parents running around in circles and jumping up in excitement. Diego lowered his head down as he licked and nuzzled his cubs on the heads and faces.
(MEWING)
(COOING)
Buck watched happily seeing their friends reunited with their loved ones, as the deranged weasel lowered his head down looking at his tooth-shaped knife feeling lonesome. But luckily, Lekin knelt down on his knees and tapped him on the shoulder getting his attention. Lekin gave Buck a comforting smile and he spread out his arms to him for a hug. Buck did not see this coming from a human, but was very thankful for it. Buck hopped onto Lekin's knee and he opened his tiny arms outs and wrapped it around the boy's neck showing happiness on his face as Lekin smiled back patter his weasel friend gently with his hand.
It was getting late, so the herd decided to stay one more night before heading back to the surface tomorrow. In that rate, everyone went into celebration; Duke, Thorn, and Chaos were cooking up some hot swing music in the cave using dinosaur bones as instruments as Manny danced along with Ellie and Peaches by his side; Sid danced alongside with Louis and Granny doing dubstep style; Crash and Eddie were sitting in the hot springs listening to Buck as the weasel told them of his adventurous stories; Diego laid next to Shira resting his neck on top of his wife's back leaving Shira purring with delight while Hunter and Lily were tackling and playing with each other joyously leaving the saber couple amused.
Everyone was having a good time, all expect for Zari and Ravi who were sitting by themselves. Zari was comforting her brother as Ravi looked down at his reflection in a small puddle. The boy was heartbroken as guilt started to consume inside of him after what he had just done to Hamlin. And with that the boy soon let a few tears stream down his face.
Zari could tell by her brother's look as she continued to hold him closer wrapping her arms around Ravi.
"Zari?" Ravi asked sadly. "Is this what it feels like…to be a killer?"
Zari shook her head. "No, no, no, no, no of course not; what you did was right, and you did it well" she reassured
"But Hamlin…" Ravi attempted to argue
"…deserved what he got. Killing him wasn't easy I understand that, but he was a sick man, a very sick man. You were only doing what was right using what your conscience told you to do" Zari explained to him
"It's not just that, though. I just murdered someone in vein and now I'm scarred for life! I thought I was doing the right thing, but I just made it worse for myself! I'm no hero Zari, I'm a monster! A monster!" Ravi sadly yelled
"No, you're not!" yelled a voice
Zari and Ravi turned over to the voice who revealed to be Diego who had heard what Ravi had just said. Once Diego got up in front, the saber nudged the boy's chin up making the boy look in his eyes.
"You are not a monster Ravi!" Diego confirmed the boy
"I'm not?" said Ravi
"NO!" Diego confirmed again. "You are the bravest kid I know and don't ever doubt yourself ever!"
"But Diego you saw I…" Ravi attempted to argue again
"It doesn't matter! None of it matters now! That human was far too gone to be saved and there was no mistaking about it" Diego told the boy
"It wouldn't have been if I were you, Diego. You're the toughest cat who's ever run. You don't know what it's like to be…a monster" Ravi confirmed the saber
Diego could tell the guilt still spreading around Ravi's body saying it will never go away. Diego knew Ravi could never be a monster ever, but he would never call it to himself after what he did a long time ago.
Diego took a moment to take a deep breath before letting it out.
"Actually kid…I know exactly how you feel" Diego told him placing a paw on the boy's shoulder
"You do?" said Ravi looking up at Diego
"Wait a minute, what do you mean?" Zari asked questionably
"Well you two kind of remind me of me back when I was in my original pack. I was under the influence of my old pack leader, Soto, and I was his double agent" Diego told the two of his origin story
"Where are you getting at, Diego?" Zari asked about Diego's point
Diego felt a little too afraid to tell the truth to the kids, but he couldn't hide the guilt for himself forever.
"Let me ask you both this. Has your dad ever told you how your grandmother died?" Diego asked the two
"Nadia?" said Zari surprisingly
"You knew our grandma, how?" asked Ravi curiously
"Well you see…Soto wanted revenge on your grandfather who wiped out most of our pack and he assigned me to kidnap your father alive" Diego confessed
Surprised by this, Zari and Ravi looked at each other with their jaws dropped after hearing what Diego told them, but they were not shocked at all as they continued listening to Diego's story.
"While my pack was distracting your grandfather's pack, it gave me the chance to snatch your father. Just when he was about to be mine, I was intercepted by your grandmother and she took off taking your father with her. I chased her through the valley till I cornered next to the ledge of a waterfall and I gave her a choice. Either surrender the baby or die trying? And with that matter, she chose death and jumped off so she could save herself and your father!" Diego confessed to the kids
Zari and Ravi were now shocked and thrilled by what Diego had told them as the two expressed tearful expressions on their faces. Diego could tell by their looks and the saber lowered his head at the ground.
"Does anyone else know about this?" Zari asked
Diego shook his head but refusing to look up at the two kids.
"I never told anyone this till now. It's been forever since I've been living with that guilt my entire life" Diego replied back
"But why did you tell it to us?" Ravi asked
"Because I didn't think your father wouldn't bear it if I told him, and neither would your grandfather. But when I found out that your dad was dead it just broke my heart even more. So what I trying to say is…I'm sorry. I'm so sorry you two weren't able to have a grandmother to care for you" Diego replied
Zari was the first to break into tears as well as Ravi did seeing how saddened Diego was now. Ravi then whipped away his tears and he knelt down to see tears streaming down Diego's fur as they streamed down to the saber's nose and then started dripping on the ground.
Zari soon whipped her tears away and she tilted the saber's chin up with her hand. Diego looked into the young girl's eyes as Zari whipped the remaining tears away from the saber's face.
"It wasn't your fault. I don't blame you for it" Zari reassured him
"You…you don't?" Diego asked sniffling
Ravi then started petting Diego on the back. "Of course not you're my best friend, Diego"
"If you hadn't got involved with your pack's revenge plan, you wouldn't have never had met Manny and Sid in the first place—but I doubt you ever wanted to meet Sid in the first place. And I doubt that Manny would have never had met Ellie, so then Peaches wouldn't be born at all; or that Sid would never had been reunited with Granny. And most of all, you never would have met Shira and you wouldn't of have Hunter and Lily right now. None of this would have happened if you hadn't changed the past. All sacrifices have to be made for all the greater goods and that's what you still do for the herd today" Zari told Diego not to blame himself
Diego's heart began to heat up inside him as he looked at the two kids in astonishment.
"So you two aren't angry?" Diego asked them
Zari and Ravi looked at each other before looking back at Diego shaking their heads in reply.
"Why would we be angry at you?" said Zari questionably. "You've been watching over us ever since you and Shira left the herd like you promised. Besides we already have the best grandfather ever"
"Really, who's that?" Diego asked
Zari smiled at him. "You"
"Oh well I guess that explains…wait, WHAT?" said Diego hearing what Zari actually meant
"You heard me pussy-cat. I love you all over" said Zari as she wrapped her arms around Diego's neck holding him close
"Me too even if you are a killer you'll always be my buddy" said Ravi as he joined in wrapped his arms around Diego's neck squeezing him tight feeling his warm orange fur
Both kids nuzzled the orange saber with so much love it got Diego blushing all over his face. He didn't know what to say? He thought Zari and Ravi would be furious with him, but instead of insults and hatred he got hugs and kisses. So with that, Diego smiled feeling the guilt release from his gut setting itself free as he wrapped both of his paws around the two humans hugging them back nuzzling them with a soothing purring sound.
(PURRING)
"Aww, the softie purrs" Zari teased
"I knew he wouldn't be that made of stone" Ravi teased
That got Diego putting on a playful smirk on his face as he started to lean all his weight on Zari and Ravi causing them tip over leaving Diego pinning right on top of them.
(ZARI AND RAVI GRUNTING)
"Correction, you're both on the ground, kind of like made of stone" Diego teased the two
Zari and Ravi playfully smiled up as Diego smiled back down at them before the two tackled onto him as Diego played along leaving laughter and joy controlling them. Shira smiled watching her husband goof off with the humans before Hunter and Lily went running over to join the fun with their father.
(PLAYFULLY LAUGHING)
(MEWING)
As they continued playing, Manny was watching not too far way seeing how Zari was having a good time now that she was back with her family including her little brother again. The mammoth was wondering whether he should tell Zari or not how sorry he was at this time right now. Manny attempted to take one step forward, but the pressure was starting to come back and he stepped back.
"Do you think she'll ever forgive me?" said Manny in his thoughts
"What's wrong big daddy?" asked Ellie who startled Manny by walking up behind him
"AHHH…Oh sorry Ellie, I thought you were Zari" Manny apologized
Ellie looked from over Manny seeing how Zari was such in a happy mood with her brother while playing with Diego and the cubs and she looked back at Manny was still was feeling regret inside of him.
"Still having trouble telling her, I see?" Ellie asked
Manny sighed. "I don't ruin things with her again, Ellie. I just can't!"
"Don't worry, Manny, it happens. You may have messed up but that doesn't mean there's no other way to fix it. There's always a way to fix things" Ellie reassured him
"But my mess, was breaking my daughter's heart" Manny reminded her
"And you figured it out. You know what to say to Zari" Ellie told him
Suddenly Buck hopped onto Manny's tusk reassuring him, "Aye she's right tubby, forgiveness is a tough sign but it has to be made for the right choices. She still loves ya even if ya are a big fathead"
"Hey!" said Manny feeling offended
"Just throwing it out, big fella" said Buck
"She'll forgive you honey. Just take give it some time" Ellie told him before she and back left him alone for the time being
Manny then looked back to check on Zari and Ravi as he saw the two settling down next to Diego, Shira and the cubs ready to go to sleep. Ravi rested his back against the wall as Diego rested his head over the boy's lap giving him warmth while Hunter hopped onto Ravi's head ready to sleep; Zari did the same as rested her back against wall next to Ravi leaving Shira resting her neck over the girl's lap as Lily hopped onto her mother's back cuddling her herself on her mother warm fur. The six grew smiles on their faces before drifting off into a deep sleep.
The next morning, everyone was up and at it again as Buck began leading the trio back to where they had entered before. With that everyone started making the long journey home back to the surface. It took a long time before they finally reached the entrance to where they left off and began to make their way back up. Finally when they reached the light, they soon crowed by a large group of animals who now began cheering upon the herd's arrival.
(EVERYONE CHEERING)
(WHOOPING)
The herd was surprised seeing so many relieved faces of their friends and neighbors as they all gathered around by the incredibly large hole cheering and worshiping upon the herd's return to the homeland.
"They're back!"
"Thank heavens you're okay"
"Where have you all been all this time?"
"We've been worried sick"
We thought we never see you guys again?'
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's all this for?" Peaches asked what was happening here
"What do you think Peach?" said Ethan coming through. "We're celebrating on your return, that's what"
"But we've been gone for only a few days. It's not that big of a celebration" Louis confirmed
"Maybe, but the truth is we can't live without you" Ethan replied. "You guys are what keeps us all together and wouldn't last a day without your guidance"
"Aww, you mean that?" Peaches asked feeling grateful
"Well then…I guess it's great to be home!" Louis stated
(EVERYONE CHEERING)
(MURMERING)
(LAUGHING)
As everyone gathered around the herd, Lekin stepped off to the side as he watched his best friend's trio interact with their allies. He smiled for a second before fading it away as they boy turned around slowly before looking back at the trio one last time.
"Congratulations Zari, you really know how to bring a family together" Lekin congratulated before sadly walking away
As everyone was murmuring in conversation, Zari smiling looked over her shoulder only to find Lekin departing from the group causing her to run after him.
"Hey Lekin, wait up!" Zari called as she and Ravi ran after him. Lekin, who had heard Zari calling for him, stopped and turned around once the two finally caught up to him.
"Where are you going?" Zari asked him
"What does it look like, I'm leaving now. You guys don't need me anymore" Lekin explained to them
"What? No, you can't go" said Ravi surprisingly
"Why not?" Lekin asked confusingly
"Tell him" Ravi shoved his sister in the shoulder
"Because well…I umm…umm…kind of was thinking…umm…if you wanted to be part of our family?" Zari offered
"Look as tough as it is, I don't want to bring any more trouble to you guys even if it means…WHAT!" said Lekin frantically
Zari chuckled and waved her hair back with her hand. "That's right. I'm asking if you want to join our herd? Our family?"
"It'll be so much fun, what do you say?" said Ravi cheerfully
Lekin hesitated for a brief moment having trouble to decide. The boy shrugged his shoulders feeling uncertain whether or not he said stay with Zari and her family or go on his own? Still he had no idea what to choose.
"I…I don't know. I really shouldn't stay here I mean…well…it's just that…" said Lekin feeling uneasy
"Hey Lekin!" called a voice from behind
Lekin was taken by surprise when he saw Manny walk up from behind Zari and Ravi.
"Manny?" said Lekin
"Hey buddy where you going? You're not leaving already are you?" Manny questioned the boy
"Oh well you see Manny…I was just about to…" Lekin replied trying to show an explanation
"We'd be honored if you come live with us. Be part of our family, Lekin" Ellie offered the boy
"You mean live here? With you guys?" said Lekin before looking away. "You all are so kind but…I don't think nobody wants another human living with a good-looking herd like you guys"
(SCOFFING)
Diego scoffed and walked up to Lekin with a smile on his face.
"Please, kid, any new member is welcomed in our herd no matter how different or strange they are. We always have each other's backs and we always stick together no matter what" Diego stated to the boy
"I…I…I just can't. I'm sorry but nothing can change my mind" Lekin protested
Just as Lekin turned away to leave again, he was grasped by Zari's hand as she pulled him back so that he can be close to her face. When Lekin saw he and Zari were holding each other's hands he looked back up and noticed how Zari was smiling at him before she brought her face close to him.
"Maybe this will change your mind" said Zari in a loving tone
Zari placed her other hand on the back of Lekin's head and pulled him forward. Zari then locked her lips against Lekin's lips and they were now kissing. Lekin's eyes popped up wide feeling like this wasn't even a dream at all.
Seeing this, Manny along with Ellie, Peaches, and Louis stared aweing as they watched this moment; Sid and Diego were aweing too along with Granny, Shira, and the cubs as they saw the sight of the two humans kissing; Crash, Eddie, Duke, Thorn, and Chaos were drooling from their mouths as they looked at each other before scaring themselves to death Ravi, however, was smiling joyously while crossing his arms together seeing his sister making out with her best friend like this. Buck then hopped onto the boy's shoulder before resting a tiny elbow against the boy's head watching this beautiful moment.
"I always knew those two could make a great couple" Buck happily pointed out
"Tell me about it" said Ravi as he and Buck did a hive-five
Finally, Zari released her lips off of Lekin's as Lekin stared out with a freezed-out expression on his face. Zari chuckled before crossing her arms.
"I could get used to this place" Lekin admitted
Zari smirked, "Now that's more like it"
"You guys really want me to be part of your herd?" Lekin asked
"You bet kid…" said Diego with a smile and he jumped behind before diving under as he scooped Lekin from under his legs and was now carrying him on his back. "…welcome to our herd"
(LAUGHING)
Everyone was laughing as the herd started to celebrate their welcome home party, before all the animals of the island began cheering for them again.
"Three cheers for Manny and his family!"
"HIP-HIP…"
"HOORAY!"
"HIP-HIP…"
"HOORAY!"
"HIP-HIP…"
"HOORAY!"
Manny and the rest huddled u together to form a family line while listening to their friends and neighbors cheer for them. Ravi wrapped his arms around his sister; Zari wrapped one of her arms around her little brother holding him close to her; Lekin gently grasped Zari's hand as Zari held it back while she and him were looking at each other lovingly.
"Gee, it's great to not louse things up for once!" Duke gleefully stated
"Yeah, especially no dinosaurs around…" Thorn gleefully stated
"…or even being chased by an angry mob" Chaos gleefully stated
"HEY, THERE THEY ARE!" shouted an angry voice getting Duke, Thorn, and Chaos's attentions when the threesome saw the same angry group of animals that they robbed a few days again far off by the forest carrying clubs and sharped spears in their hands.
"YEAH THAT'S THEM!" shouted the beaver
"I CAN RECOGNIZE THEM BY THEIR STUPID UGLY FACES!" shouted an elk
Duke and Thorn furiously turned to Chaos with agitated expressions.
"You had to open your big fat beak, again!" Duke yelled before pecking Chaos on the head with his beak
(BOP)
"Oh!" cried Chaos with pain
"What's the matter with you!" yelled Thorn
(BOP)
"Oh!" cried Chaos again
"I outta moider you!" yelled Thorn
(BOP)
"Oh!" cried Chaos again
"You're an imbecile that's what you are!" yelled Thorn
"C'mon will ya!" yelled Chaos telling them to knock it off
"C'MON LET'S GET' EM!" shouted the beaver
(YELLING)
"NYAGH!" exclaimed Duke, Thorn, and Chaos fearfully
Duke, Thorn, and Chaos began running away as the angry mob of animals chased after them leaving the herd watching them go as the three jingo's ran off into the open fields running for their lives as Chaos kept yelling…
"Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo!' squealed Chaos as he continued run
Lekin shoves Zari in the arm. "They do realize they can fly right?"
"When it comes to them, nothing seems to leave them alone" Zari pointed out
As the day was still young, everyone began celebrating by showing their new herd members around the island. Manny showed Lekin and Buck where they will be staying while Ellie and Peaches showed them a really nice spot for them to sleep; Sid then showed their new members by the berry bushes where the sloth shows them which ones are good and which ones are dangerous, but unfortunately when he tested a berry it turned out to be lotus berry causing the sloth be very paralyzed; after wards Diego showed them around where there are good hunting places to go. Zari and Ravi were the last to show Lekin and Buck around as they took them to their favorite spot (as shown in Chapter 2) leaving the two aweing in astonishment.
"This…this is amazing. All of it" Lekin admitted seeing the view of the entire island
"Aye I'll say. No wonder I've been missing so much above while staying down below" Buck admitted
Zari then walk around and wrapped her arms around Lekin's waist as she rested her head on his shoulder comforting him while Ravi did the same as he rested his elbow upon his shoulder. The foursome was watching the beautiful sight of the entire island as the day still stayed young.
As the next scene changes, it shows Hunter and Lily having a fun time in the snow.
(PLAYFULLY MEWING)
(SMALL ROARING)
(LAUGHING)
Ravi and the possums played alongside with the cubs as Hunter jumped onto the boy's hair biting his hair off while Lily was nuzzling her fur on Ravi's cheek making the boy giggle.
(MEWING)
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, no stop that tickles!" Ravi laughed
Then Crash and Eddie tried to tease the cubs by letting them try and catch their tails as string. Hunter and Lily playfully tried to snatch the tails but were pulled away by the possums leaving the two laughing with joy.
(MEWING)
(CRASH AND EDDIE LAUGHING)
Diego and Shira were happy to see that their children were having a blast as the saber couple nuzzled each other.
As the trio happily watched, the scene shows Zari all by herself which finally gave Manny the chance to apologize to his daughter. He slowly began to make his way towards her.
(CLEARS THROAT)
"Umm…Zari?" said Manny
Zari turned around getting his attention. "Oh! Hey Manny"
"Hey" said Manny weakly
"Look, I just wanted to say…" Manny and Zari both said at the same time before pausing. "What? No you first, no you first!"
"No seriously you first" Zari told her father to go first
Manny sighed and looked down. "Now sweetie…what I'm trying to say…what I mean to say is…well…umm…"
Manny soon felt a hand rested on his trunk as he looked down and saw Zari smiling into his eyes.
"Yes, go on?" Zari replied for him to continue
He knew the pressure was too difficult, so with that he took one last deep breath calming Manny down for the last time.
(SIGHS)
Manny rested his trunk on his daughter's shoulder. "I just wanted to say…I'm sorry. I'm sorry about all of this, I'm sorry for everything that I put you and Ravi through especially Lekin. I'm sorry I'm not the adoptive father you expected; I was just trying to keep my family safe that's all. But most of all…I'm sorry that I drove you away. Can you ever forgive me?" Manny apologized
Zari tearfully smiled up at Manny before walking over and wrapping her arms around Manny's trunk giving him a surprised hug of delight. Manny's eyes widened as watched the sight of his adoptive daughter hugging him back.
"I'm sorry too! I never should have run away from you or our family! You're the thing that keeps us together" Zari apologized tearfully
"But I was the reason for breaking you apart in the first place! I thought you'd be furious when he went after you?" Manny replied sadly
"I wasn't angry at you. I was sad, sad that you would lost your way" Zari confessed to him
"But I did lose my way" Manny sadly reminded her
"Yes, yes you did. But you followed the path you choose and it leads you right where you needed to go. Besides…I was actually glad you came after us dad" Zari confirmed him
"Z-Zari…y-you…y-you just called me…" said Manny trying to say the right words
"Dad, it's okay" Zari told him to calm down
"You actually called me dad" said Manny surprisingly
"Of course I did, why wouldn't I? You're the biggest thing on Earth, and you'll always be as long as I'm with you" Zari reassured him
Manny was over-whelmed as tears began swelling up his eyes before they came streaming down his fur. He then held his daughter close to him leaving the two hugging at this heart-warming moment.
As Hunter and Lily were playing they noticed snowflakes falling from above their heads as the two tried to catch them in their tiny little paws mewing with excitement.
(MEWING)
(SMALL ROARING)
Diego and Shira came walking up to their cubs as they licked their kids on the heads and cheeks.
"That's right you two…" Shira said to her babies
"…welcome to the Ice Age" Diego welcomed their kids to their home
Zari smiled as she watched Diego and Shira welcome their children to their homeland. Suddenly some rustling winds blew into her voice before she could hear snow-thumping footsteps behind her. When she turned, she was taken by surprise when she saw her mother and father's spirits, Roshan and Nida, standing right behind her.
"Mom…Dad…" said Zari whisperingly
"Well done, my love, well done. We are so proud of you" Nida congratulated Zari for her bravery
"You and your brother live a happy life with your new family, and always have each other's backs. Just like how me and your mother will always have yours" Roshan reminded her
Manny along with Sid and Diego could also hear the voices of their friend Pinky coming from the distance as they turned around only to be surprised to see the sight of Zari's parents spirits. Roshan and Nida who noticed the three watching them from way over waved to them with gratitude giving them a parting hello. Manny, Sid, and Diego looked at each other before waving to them before their spirits took off in the sky turning back into blowing snow.
Zari watched happily from above as she saw her parent's spirits fly into sky leaving her and her brother in the care of a mammoth, a sloth, and a saber once again.
"Good-bye mom and dad" Zari said her farewell
"Hey Zari" said Ravi showing up behind his sister
"Who are talking to?" Lekin asked also showing up behind her
Zari smiled and wrapped her arm around Lekin's shoulder. "Oh nothing…just saying good-bye to see very old memories"
"Yeah? Well I'm ready to start some new fresh memories what do you think?" Lekin happily replied
"I think it would be an adventure of a life time. What do you guys think?" Zari admitted before asking Manny, Sid, and Diego who came walking up from behind the three
"I think sweetie it'll never end as long we have each other" Manny reminded her
"Yeah we still have lots and lots of more memories to cherish for the next 20,000 million years if so" Sid told them
"He's right. But that's only the beginning" Diego told them
"You bet your life it is" Zari, Ravi and Lekin replied all together
Finally the last scene shows Manny, Sid, Diego along with Zari, Ravi, and Lekin with the rest of the herd walking up standing next to each other as they all watched out in the distance watching the day go on as if nothing was going to stop them. No matter how strange they are, they will always look out and protect each other's families no matter what comes between them. The scene soon changes as the camera moves up into the sky and takes one last glimpse of the sun before the scene fades into black.
Well everyone there you have it! I hope you enjoyed this last chapter and I just want to say…
(NYAGH)
(CRASHING)
(THUDDING)
Stooge Man: What the…?
Duke, Thorn, and Chaos came crashing in to the scene as the clumsy jingo's helped each other off the ground.
(BOP)
Chaos: Oh!
Thorn: You nitwit!
Duke: What's the matter with ya, bird brain! I outta…
Before Duke can bop Chaos he and his brothers noticed something strange happening around here.
Thorn: Say where are we?
Duke: Yeah…Hey, wait a minute what's with the black credits?
Thorn: And that reminder on the top there?
Stooge Man: Say? What's the meaning of this, how'd you guys get in here?
Duke: Why don't you mind your own business kid, we just escaped from an angry mob so don't push…say who are you anyway?
Thorn: Yeah who are you!
Chaos: HMPH
Stooge Man: I'm the author, you imbeciles, what about it?
(JINGO'S MUTTERING)
Thorn: Say what's an author anyway?
Chaos: Why you dope haven't ya seen a Thor with muscles and a great big hammer in the motion pictures. Besides this one doesn't have it at all. YUK, YUK, YUK, YUK, YUK
(BOTH THORN AND CHAOS START LAUGHING)
(DOUBLE-SLAP)
Thorn and Chaos: Oh!
Duke: Stop that double-talk now; let's just get out of here before we cause any more damage
Duke, Thorn, and Chaos turned to leave towards the audience before Stooge Man stopped them for a second.
Stooge Man: Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Not that way boys, that's the audience. This is the way out (showing the jingo's the hole they made in the wall)
Duke: Oh gee, thanks. Say you're not mad at us?
Stooge Man: (laughs) Why of course not
Duke: Well it was a privilege knocking you off you off in your story
Stooge Man: And it's a privilege to knock you off
Chaos: Goodbye…
Thorn: Goodbye…
Duke: Goodbye…
The jingo's sang in farewell before Stooge Man came walking back up holding a sludge hammer in his hands before whacking all three of them on the heads.
(KLONK)
Chaos: Oh!
(KLONK)
Thorn: Oh!
(KLONK)
Duke: Oh!
Duke, Thorn, and Chaos fell to the ground leaning back against each other showing crossed-eyes and tongues dropping from their mouths as birds began chirping around their heads before falling into unconsciousness.
(BIRD'S CHIRPING)
Stooge Man smiled with victory and he threw away the sludge hammer and whipped his hands off successfully before noticing the audience looking right at him in confusion.
Stooge Man: Oh…he, he, sorry about that everyone. As I was saying viewers…
…please review and stay tuned because the big finale is coming up next! Also give White Hunter a huge thanks for making this chapter possible along with the rest of my chapters!
