Chapter 35: The Final Fight
Sid and Toby were on their way to the top of Forbidden Rock as they reached the final stairs when Toby stopped Sid.
"What's wrong?" Sid asked.
"Sid, I need you to listen to me. We know that Victor will stop at nothing until we're dead so we have to fight him in order to stop him" Toby explained.
"Well...I'm not a fighter Toby...I can't fight my own battles" Sid replied.
"Sid, I know you're scared about this. I am too. But you need to stand up for yourself, for the herd, for Carrie" Toby replied.
Sid looks at Toby for a quick moment then replies "Alright but we stay together"
Toby nodded and soon the two mammals were now on top of Forbidden Rock as they see nothing but a small cave near one of the edges of Forbidden Rock.
"So why did they call it Forbidden Rock?" Sid asked.
"Because this is where Victor used to live when he first ruled his pack and he calls it that to strike fear into the hearts of his prey" Toby explained.
"He's got that part right" Sid shivered as he felt uncomfortable.
After a moment of silence, Sid said
"Do you think Carrie is in that small cave?"
"I hope so" Toby replied.
"Well then let's get her out of there" said Sid as he was about to go inside the small cave.
"Hold on Sid! Maybe Victor's in there too" Toby halted Sid.
"Oh yeah" Sid replied.
Toby then sniffs his nose in the air then growls
"Yep...He's inside alright"
"With Carrie?" Sid whimpered.
"Yes" Toby growled.
"I hope she's alright Toby" Sid whimpered again.
"Victor! I know you're in there! Come out and face us!" Toby angrily shouted.
Soon Victor dangerously walks out of the cave and grins evilly at Sid and Toby.
"Well, well! Looks like you're just arrived at the finish line" Victor grinned evilly.
"Where's C-Carrie?" Sid angrily yet stuttered at Victor.
"Oh she's around...But it won't matter for long" Victor replied.
"What do you mean by that Victor?" Toby growled.
"Once I'm finished with you guys, I'll destroy Carrie painfully and slowly" Victor deviously replied.
"We beat you before Victor and we'll do it again!" Sid exclaimed.
"You're going to pay for everything that you done! For what you did to my mum, my brother, Carrie's family, the herd, Sid, Carrie and everyone that you harmed!" Toby angrily exclaimed.
Soon the young wolf lunges at Victor and attacks him.
"Sid! Get Carrie! Now!" Toby shouted as the two wolves fight.
Sid then runs inside the cave and sees Carrie tied up.
"Carrie!" Sid happily exclaimed.
Carrie looks up to see her husband and she happily gasped "Sid"
Sid runs to his wife and hugs her.
"Oh Carrie! I'm so glad you're not hurt" Sid happily said.
"I'm so glad you're OK as well, how do you get out of Seaweed River?" Carrie asked.
"Dodger rescued me" Sid replied as he begins untying the vines off Carrie.
"Where are the others?" Carrie asked.
"The herd is at the village, Dodger and Niamh are fighting Carlotta and Manny and Diego are on their way" Sid replied.
"I hope they're alright especially Dodger and Niamh" said Carrie.
"Me too" Sid replied.
Just then, they heard Toby yelling in pain.
"Toby!" Carrie exclaimed.
"He's fighting Victor! We got to help him" Sid explained and soon the two sloths went out of the cave.
Toby was fighting Victor as he hits Victor with his paw and soon he jumps to where Sid and Carrie are.
"You're getting stronger Toby...I'm impressed" Victor chuckled deviously.
"Don't toy with me Victor, I will stop you at all cost" Toby growled.
"Ah Sid, I see you got Carrie out but the problem is...Are you two going to make it out...alive?" Victor grinned evilly at the sloths.
"We will escape this place and we'll rejoice once more when you are defeated and never bother us again" Carrie snapped at Victor.
"Oh! You think so?" Victor mocked Carrie.
"I know so! We're not scared of a lunatic like you" Carrie sternly replied.
"I am...a little" Sid admitted.
"Say what you want, my revenge will be fulfilled once I get rid of you and the rest of your wrenched herd" Victor growled.
"Enough talk! Let's end this!" Toby shouted and lunges at Victor.
Soon the wolves begin fighting as Carrie stay close to Sid and watches Toby fighting Victor.
"What are we gonna do?" Carrie asked in concern.
"I-I don't know" Sid replied as he had no idea what to do.
"We can't just leave Toby with Victor!" Carrie cried.
"I know!" Sid replied.
Soon Victor throws Toby to the ground as Victor bites his arm.
"Aaaah!" Toby exclaimed in pain.
"Toby!" Both Sid and Carrie exclaimed.
Soon Victor started to walk dangerously towards Sid and Carrie.
"You two are doomed" Victor growled.
"Stay close Carrie" Sid whimpered.
Then Toby rushes to their aid and bites Victor's shoulder.
"Aaaaah! Let go of me you worthless pup!" Victor angrily exclaimed.
Victor whacks Toby in the face and pins him down to the ground.
"You and your family have been a thorn to my site for the last time!" Victor angrily exclaimed as he furiously raises his sharp claws up and was about to finish Toby off.
"Toby!" Carrie screamed as she runs to Victor and kicks him away from Toby.
"Carrie!" Sid exclaimed.
"I'm Ok honey" Carrie assured.
She then helps Toby up and asked
"Are you OK?"
"Yeah" Toby nodded.
"Carrie! Look out!" Sid exclaimed.
Carrie turns to see Victor lunging at her but she dodges Victor and she punches Victor in the face and pushes him down to the ground.
"How do you like the taste of defeat?" Carrie smirked at Victor.
"The only thing I'll taste soon is the taste of your blood!" Victor hissed as he jumps at Carrie and pins her to the ground.
"Carrie!" Sid screamed as he runs to Victor and kicks him on the behind.
"Ow! Why you little-" Victor started when Sid poked his eyes with his claws.
"Argh!" Victor hissed in pain and soon Sid jumps on top of him.
Then Sid pulls and twists his ears as Victor hisses in pain and tries to get Sid off him.
"Alright Sid!" Toby cheered.
"Go Sid! You can do it!" Carrie also cheered.
"Get off me you freak!" Victor shouted in anger as he continues trying to get Sid off.
"Feeling tough now Victor?" Sid laughed as he continues twisting Victor's ears and pulling his hair.
"Let go of me!" Victor roared and slashes Sid's arm with his claws and whacks the sloth away.
"Sid!" Both Carrie and Toby exclaimed.
Victor dangerously walks up to Sid and grabs his throat.
"You're really bugging me" Victor growled.
"I get that a lot" Sid chuckled nervously.
"Let him go Victor!" Carrie yelled as she stomps Victor's tail hard and soon Victor whacks Carrie away.
"Carrie!" Sid screamed and he pushes Victor down to the ground again and runs to his wife.
"Are you OK?" Sid worryingly asked.
"I'm fine" Carrie replied as Sid helps her up.
"Enough! It's time to die Sid and Carrie!" Victor roared and lunges at Sid and Carrie with his sharp claws.
"No!" Toby exclaimed as he jumps in front of Sid and Carrie.
Soon Victor slashes at Toby with his claws and bites his shoulder and soon he throws Toby to the rocky wall where Toby hits it and falls to the ground.
"Toby!" Sid cried.
"No!" Carrie screamed and then she angrily upper cuts Victor in the jaw and Victor was soon down on the ground once again.
Sid and Carrie runs up to Toby who was really hurt and is trembling from the wounds Victor gave him.
"Toby...Are you OK?" Carrie worryingly asked.
"Yeah...I'm fine...I-" Toby weakly started as he tries to get up but he trembles and falls back on the ground.
"Just lie down Toby" Sid soothed Toby.
"Why did you do that Toby?" Carrie asked as she started to sob as she felt so sad to see her friend being injured by Victor again.
"Be...Because you two are my best friends and you guys are like a...a...a family to m-me" Toby stuttered as he felt weak and couldn't get up.
"Sssh...It's alright Toby...Everything is gonna be OK" Carrie sobbed as she holds Toby close to her and cradles him in her arms.
"I love you guys" Toby whispered and soon he passed out cold.
"Toby..." Carrie sobbed and buries her face in Toby's muzzle.
Sid sadly watches as Carrie tearfully cradles an injured Toby in her arms until he heard Victor's cold laughter.
"What a stupid pup! Risk his life for bunch of freaks, How unworthy! But then again he always unworthy his whole life" Victor coldly grins at Sid and evilly laughs.
Like Niamh at her battle with Carlotta, Sid felt rage and his hated for Victor has just past it's peek and soon Sid clutches his fist and angrily stares at Victor.
"Victor! Enough is enough! It's time we end this once and for all" Sid angrily exclaimed.
Meanwhile down on Forbidden Rock, Niamh and Dodger were concern for Sid, Carrie and Toby's welfare until Manny, Diego and Stan shows up and sees Dodger and Niamh.
"Guys!" Manny called out.
"Manny!" said Niamh.
"Diego! Stan!" Dodger called back.
"What happened?" Manny asked.
"You should have seen Niamh, She was fantastic! The way she fought Carlotta, It was amazing" said Dodger.
"What happened to Carlotta?" Diego asked.
"I think she's dead" Niamh replied.
"What?" Manny and Diego both said confusingly.
"Well Carlotta was going to kill Niamh when she throws snow on her eyes and Carlotta didn't see what she was going and soon she slipped off that cliff and falled" Dodger explained.
"Oh! I see" Stan nodded.
"Where's Sid and Toby?" Diego asked.
"Up there" Niamh pointed at the top of Forbidden Rock.
"We thought we wait for you because Carlotta kinda bitting my legs so hard that I can't stand up a bit properly" Dodger explained.
"Well come on! I'll carry Dodger" said Manny as he picks up Dodger and places him with Stan as Niamh got on Diego and they soon started their way up the stairs of Forbidden Rock.
Meanwhile back on top of Forbidden Rock, Sid grabbed a stick and circled with Victor as they each glare at each other.
"I've been waiting to dispose of you for a long, long time Sid" Victor growled.
"You will never get your chance" Sid warned.
"We'll see sloth...We'll see" Victor growled.
Soon Victor lunges at Sid but he dodges Victor and then Sid whacked Victor with the big stick.
"You're gonna have to do better than that" Victor hissed and whacks Sid in the face.
"Ow! My nose!" Sid exclaimed.
Then Victor whacks him down to the ground as Carrie grows very angry at Victor and kicks him away from Sid.
"Come on Sid! We can fight him together" said Carrie as she kept her glare at Victor.
"Right" Sid replied and walks up to Carrie.
Victor got up and sees Sid and Carrie together ready to fight Victor.
"You two think you can stop me?" Victor scoffed.
"We don't think we can...We know we can" Carrie angrily replied.
"Ha! Fools! Haven't you learnt anything at all? I'm the strongest wolf in this planet and there's nothing you two can do to stop me!" Victor growls.
"It is you who hasn't learnt anything" Sid sternly said.
"What do you mean by that?" Victor scoffed.
"Well...um...A little help Carrie?" Sid whispered as he kept his glare on Victor.
"What he means is that you have no idea that love and friendship is stronger than anything in the world even you Victor, You refused to let others give you friendship and compassion...You just kept on being cold and cruel to those who are innocent" Carrie angrily explained.
"I don't even care about those foolish things Carrie" Victor growled.
"Then you will always be a lonely soul until the end...You think you're so powerful but in the end, you're nothing but a weak dog" Carrie spatted at Victor.
"And to make it worse, you and your pack have been defeated by a simple herd" Sid mocked Victor.
"How dare you mock me?" Victor growls really dangerously
"Are you gonna fight or are you just kept growling" Carrie angrily asked.
"Shut up! This ends right now!" Victor angrily exclaimed and he furiously charges at the sloths.
"Carrie" Sid whimpered.
"Wait" said Carrie.
The two sloths just stood still as Victor kept charging at them.
"Carrie" Sid whimpered as he quivered in fear.
"Wait" Carrie gulped.
"Carrie!" Sid exclaimed.
"Now!" Carrie yelled and just in time, the two sloths dodges Victor.
"This is for my family!" Carrie shouted and punches Victor in the shoulder.
"This is for the herd" said Sid as he stomped on Victor's tail and dodges Victor's claws.
"This is for Toby" Carrie angrily said as he slaps Victor hard on the face.
"This is for Toby's family!" Sid snapped as he pokes Victor in the eyes.
"This is for Dodger and Niamh!" Carrie said as she kicks Victor's legs.
"This is for the sloths in the village" said Sid and he pulls Victor's ears.
"Stop toying with me!" Victor roared
The wolf kept trying to attack the sloths but he kept missing them. Unknown to them, Toby woke up and sees the sloths fighting Victor as he deviously smiles and whispers.
"Go get him guys!"
At the stairs, the other were making their way up to the top as Dodger announced "We're almost there"
"Hang on guys! We're coming!" Diego called out.
Back on top of Forbidden Rock, Sid and Carrie continues their battle with Victor.
"Face it Victor! You're losing!" Carrie sternly said.
"I will not lose to some sloths" Victor growled as he trembled a bit.
"OK "huff" Can we "huff" take five?" Sid huffed and puffed as he felt exhausted from fighting with Victor.
"Sid" Carrie exclaimed.
"Oh right!" Sid replied as he remembers he can't stop until Victor is defeated once and for all.
"You think you two are gonna win this battle but I will prevail in the end no matter what you say or do. I disposed tougher animals than you two" Victor growled.
"Well what are you waiting for Victor? Come and get us" Carrie snapped.
"With pleasure" Victor growled again and he charges for Carrie.
"Carrie! Watch out!" Sid exclaimed.
Carrie dodges Victor's attack and starts punching him as Victor keeps getting hit but sometimes dodges Carrie's punches.
Sid grabs a few rocks and throws them at Victor.
"Alright! No more games" Victor angrily shouted and jumps on Carrie.
Victor then raises his claws and was about to strike Carrie down when Sid jumped on Victor and pulls his hair.
"Leave my wife alone you big bully!" Sid angrily exclaimed.
"Get off me you freak!" Victor yells as he got off Carrie and tries to shake Sid off of him.
Soon Victor shook Sid off and starts attacking him with his claws as Sid screams in pain.
"No!" Carrie screamed as she runs to Victor and starts beating him up.
Suddenly Victor slashes Carrie's leg with his claws as Carrie screams in agony then Victor pins her down to the ground and starts choking her with his paws.
Just then Victor felt something bit his right leg as he looks to see Toby biting his right leg as hard as he can then Victor whacks Toby down to the ground.
Sid gets up and pushes Victor down to the ground as well as Sid rushes to his wife.
"Carrie! Are you OK?" Sid worryingly asked.
"Kind of" Carrie groaned in pain as her leg was bleeding a bit and she couldn't get up a bit well now.
Sid carries her to where Toby is lying as Carrie looks at the wolf and asked
"Toby...How are you feeling?"
"I...I'll live..." Toby replied.
"Poor little Carrie, Can't stand up well! But it doesn't matter, Soon she'll be dead" Victor grinned evilly.
"We'll see about that" Sid angrily exclaimed as he stands in front of Carrie and Toby.
"What good are you Sid? You can't even fight a mouse" Victor laughed deviously.
"At least I'm not afraid of you anymore" Sid sternly replied.
"We'll see about that" Victor growled.
Sid then circles Victor and then Victor swings his claws at him but Sid dodges and then he slaps him in the face.
Soon Victor bites Sid in the arm and soon whacks him and sends him into the small cave.
Just then Manny and the others arrived and saw Carrie and Toby.
"Carrie!" Both Dodger and Niamh exclaimed.
"Toby!" Diego exclaimed.
The others got to up to them and checks up on them.
"Where's Sid? Where's Victor?" Manny asked.
Inside the small cave, Victor dangerously walks to Sid as the sloth gets up on his feet.
"I told you in the end, I will prevail and there is nothing you can do Sid" Victor chuckled evilly.
"You will be stopped" Sid snapped.
"You stupid fool! You're just a weak, worthless sloth that no one wants" Victor coldly growls at Sid.
"You're wrong Victor...I maybe irritating to some mammals but I have a family who loves me no matter what and I have a wife and daughter who loves me as well...It's you who's weak and worthless" Sid bravely replied.
Victor growls at Sid and grabs his throat.
"Be as it may Sid, It's all over! Prepare to die" Victor angrily exclaimed.
"Not this time!" Sid exclaimed and he kicks Victor's belly and show he punches him on the face.
As Victor exclaims in pain, he lets go of Sid as the sloth charges at Victor and tackles him.
Victor then kicks him off and Sid was back on the ground and just then, he saw roots covering the whole entire cave and grabs them.
"Wait! If you pull them off, then this cave will collapse and kill us both" Victor warned.
Sid looks at the roots then decides to do what is best, He pulls them off.
"No!" Victor roared and lunges at Sid.
"You fool! Do you realise what you're done?" Victor screamed as the entire cave was collapsed.
"Yeah...I 'disposed' of you" Sid smirked and then he kicks Victor out of the way.
Victor was about to get up when a big rock falls on Victor's leg and traps him.
Soon the whole cave starts to fall.
"Noooooooo!" Victor roared as the whole cave begins to collapse on top of him.
Outside the cave, the others saw the cave collapsing and soon there was nothing but a pile of rocks.
"Sid!" Carrie screamed and the others run up to the pile and starts getting the rocks out of the way.
Soon Manny finds Sid's paw and he reaches in deeper and pulls Sid out of the rubble.
"Got him!" Manny exclaimed.
He puts Sid down as Carrie rushes to him and cradles him in her arms.
"Sid! Sid!" Carrie exclaimed as she tries to wake up Sid.
Sid wasn't waking up as Carrie grows very concern.
"Sid...Please! Please don't die! The herd need you! Rosy need you...I need you...Please Sid...Wake up" Carrie begged as tears fall from her eyes.
Just then Sid opens his eyes and sees Carrie as he softly said
"Carrie..."
"Sid!" Carrie happily exclaimed as he kisses him.
The herd sighed in relief as they saw Sid alive and well.
"How did you survive that cave collapsing?" Stan asked.
"I don't know...Maybe I'm lucky" said Sid as he tries to get up but slips and falls.
"Well...almost" Sid sheepishly chuckled.
"What happened to Victor?" Diego asked.
"I found him" Stan replied.
The others turn to see Victor's paw out of the ruddle as Stan walks to it and holds Victor's paw then his eyes was widened as he looks back at the others.
"He's dead" said Stan.
"The giant rocks must have collapsed on top of him and killed him" said Dodger.
"So what now?" Niamh asked.
Carrie looks at the other and then she softly replies
"It's over...It's all over"
Well...Sid, Carrie and Toby have won
Victor is dead for good
The battle is over
What happens next?
