Chapter 50: Beginning of the Last Battle
Meanwhile near Lava Falls, Leo was circling a tied up Rosy with a gag on her mouth.
"My dear little Rosy...How you look so much like your mother...I hate your mother so much since the day she rejected me for that filthy creature you called your father" Leo growled as he glares at the frighten teenage sloth.
Rosy mumbles loudly through the gag as Leo just evilly laughed
"What's that (?) I can't understand what you're saying"
Leo then sees the herd coming towards them as he adds
"My...my...Here's come the fuzz"
Soon the herd manages to see Leo on stop of a giant rock like platform with lava below them as they then saw Rosy tied up.
"So, you guys chose to foolishly come to your doom...How predictable" Leo evilly growled.
"The only mammal who has come to their own doom is you Leo!" Diego hissed.
"Let Rosy go, Leo!" Jonathan demanded.
"Hmhmhmhmhmmhm...Oh Johnny...You're just like dad...always demanded and being ignorant all the time...that's why it was so easy for me to kill him" Leo sneered.
"You shut your mouth you stupid fiend!" Johnny shouted as he charges at the red sloth.
"Lad! No!" Buck shouted.
But it was too late, Leo stopped the male teenager by dodging his attack and blowing a very hard hit in the head, knocking the poor sloth out.
"Jonathan!" Rosy cried through her gag.
Leo was about to finish off Jonathan and Rosy together when suddenly James grabs Leo and begins to fight him.
"James!" Carrie cried.
"Don't worry about me Carrie, just get Rosy out of here! I'll take care of Leo!" James cried back.
Soon Manny took the two teenage sloths away from Leo as Buck unties Rosy who then holds her lover close.
The others watched in fear as James and Leo continued fighting when Sid cried
"We got to do something"
"No Sid! Just go!" James refused.
"Not without you" Toby called out.
"Fools! No one will leave here alive! You will all be destroyed by my own claws" Leo bellowed.
"Never!" James angrily shouted.
Soon James throws a few punches to Leo and kicks him to the ground.
Sid rushes to James as he asked
"Are you OK James?"
"Yeah, I'm fine bro" James replied.
Suddenly Leo grabs James and stabs him in the belly as Sid and Carrie gasped in horror.
"JAMES!" Manny screamed.
"NO!" Diego screamed as well.
Soon Leo throws James to the ground as Sid was about to fight Leo when the villain grabs Sid by the throat and evilly chuckled.
"Not so tough as you were on the Plates of Woe now, are you"
He then slashes the sloth on the shoulder with his sharp claws as Sid screamed in agony.
"SID!" Carrie screamed.
"DADDY!" Rosy cried loudly.
Leo then hits Sid to the wall hard and starts to beat up Sid.
"Let him go!" Buck roared as he charges at Leo.
Suddenly Leo kicks Buck away from the others as he then cuts the bridge that was the only way for the herd to cross to the other side where Sid is.
"Daddy! Get out of there!" Rosy screamed.
"It's useless Sid...There is no escape...You are doomed" Leo evilly chuckled.
Sid knew that there was nothing he can do, his predator side was not taking over him nor he ever want to use it again for the fear he may lose control of himself forever.
"You can fight me if you can sloth...Show me Sid, show your so called predator self and let's see who's the strongest?" Leo evilly mocked.
"I don't wanna fight...I don't want to fight...I'm not a predator" Sid whimpered.
"Of course not...you're a useless sloth from the day you were born" Leo growled.
"Don't give up Sid!" Carrie cried.
"Fight him!" Manny screamed.
"Take him down lad!" Buck screamed as well.
"Sid, come on!" Diego shouted.
"Don't let Leo stop you!" Toby yelled.
"We know you can do it son!" Milton cried.
"Don't let him win daddy!" Rosy sobbed.
"I'm sorry...But it's over...I lost...I failed" Sid silently sobbed as he lies on the ground, injured.
Suddenly Sid felt a paw on his shoulder as he looks over to see James struggling and looking at Sid seriously.
"J-James?!" Sid gasped.
James was dying but with his last strength he spoke
"Don't you dare give up now Sid...Not like this...You are stronger than he is, I know you are"
"But I can't fight...I am not a monster!" Sid sobbed.
"Sid...it's OK to be angry...It's alright to fight...Let it go my brother...Unleash your predator self and fight back...Listen to me Sid, It is not wrong to fight for the right cause..There are those like Leo that will never understand or change themselves through reason and explanations... I know how you are Sid...You are the most gentle and caring sloth in this family, you do not like to harm people...But when it comes to times like this...when you try so hard to protect the ones you love...you must fight to protect them...I know you can do this Sid...you are strong...I love you...my brother..."
"Awww (!) How sweet (!) A brotherly moment...But I'm afraid that will not save you two...It's time to end this" Leo hissed.
"You can finish me...But you will never success on destroying my family" James spatted.
Leo growls and grabs James and with one swing on his claws, Leo stabbed James once more as the herd and Sid watches and gasped in horror.
The poor orange sloth gasped in pain as he soon loses so much blood and within moments as Leo throws him over the Lava Falls.
"Noooooooooooooooo!" Carrie tearfully screamed as she helplessly watches her brother falling down to his death.
Sid lies there in horror as he couldn't believe that brother in law is killed as anger and rage boils inside him slowly.
Soon he closes his eyes and hears his thoughts.
"You cannot hold me back anymore...Open me up...Let me in"
Suddenly Sid opens his mind up and sees that he was in the cave again in his nightmares as he walks slowly to open the cage up and yells
"Show yourself"
Soon the predator side of him comes out of the cave as Sid can sees that his predator side looks like himself only with crimson eyes.
Sid wasn't afraid anymore as he said
"I'm sorry...for keeping you trap all those years"
The predator side looks at Sid and soon replies
"I forgive you..."
Soon the predator expanded his claw out and said
"Take my paw and let us be united as one at last"
Sid knew that he has to do it, so he took the predator's claw and slowly the predator was dissolving into Sid as the yellow sloths can remember all the pain, the suffering and the torment Leo, Victor, Carlotta and his stepmother have caused him. Soon he snapped back to reality as he lets out a monstrous roar of rage.
Everything turned silent as the herd jumped back in alarm including Leo. The yellow sloth then got up as Sid was back to his predator side but this time...Sid was in completely control of it.
Leo just evilly chuckled as they circle each other when Leo said
"So...you're being the predator again, What are you gonna do Sid? Stop me? Hmhmhmhmmhmhmhmhm..."
The yellow predator sloth looks at Leo with a dark glare as he scraps his claws on the wall and then he growled.
"Stop you?...No...I'm going to destroy you..."
Leo has killed James :'-(

Now the final battle is about to begin!
