"Buck, aren't you suppose to hug and say goodbye to Ethan? Your son?" Peaches said standing beside the weasel.
"Do I look like a comfortin' dad to you?" Buck demanded.
"At least try," said Peaches.
Buck growled at her but sighed, he turn to Ethan and smiled... well tried to anyway.
"Goodbye...son," Buck said.
Ethan smiled and nodded.
"Goodbye Da-"
"Yea, yea. We had moments!" Buck whistled and Egbert let go and the tree flung up sending Ethan up screaming.
Peaches scoffed at Buck.
"What? I did my best," said Buck and Peaches rolled her eyes.
"Well, who's next?" Buck asked and all the mammoths plus Louis took a step back.
"Oh come on! Its not like your guys are climbin' into Ruby's mouth," said Buck.
Manny heard screaming and looked around.
"Do I head screaming?" Manny shook his head.
"I must be hearing things," said Manny, he continued to looked down the big black hole.
Manny was about to blink but something hit his face and Manny fell on his back with something on him.
"Ugh, what happen?" Manny asked, now he got a headache.
"Whoa! I'm sorry dude!"
Manny know's that voice. Manny growled and pushed Ethan off of him.
"Where did you come from?" Demanded Manny.
"I, uh..."
Manny was about to step but something hit him hard and he fell on his side.
"Ouch!" Cried Manny and looked up and saw Peaches lying next to him.
"Peaches! Your back!" Manny smiled and hug his daughter that was still dizzy.
Manny heard more screaming and Ethan took a few steps back.
"Oh no," groaned Ethan.
Peaches yelped and felt something landed beside her, and then another thump and another.
Ethan waved the sand that was now flying every where away from his face.
"What the..." Manny only saw three mammoths lying all in a row next to Peaches.
"I feel like I broken a leg," mumbled Katie and she was lying next to Peaches and had Steffie lying next to her other side and than Meagan.
"Me too," agreed Meagan.
"Peaches! You alright?" Manny said. Helping his daughter up.
"Dad? Is that you?" Peaches asked.
"Yes, I'm here. I'm so glad to see you again," smiled Manny and hug her.
"But, where's is Louis?" Peaches asked.
"The little mole hog?" Manny asked.
"Watch out!"
Peaches and Manny looked up and saw Louis falling.
"Don't worry, I got you Louis!" Peaches Cried.
Louis landed on Peaches trunk and she safely placed her friend on the ground.
"Uh, thank you," said Louis.
"Your welcome," Peaches smile, "I'm glad your okay."
"Thank gosh we made it," said Katie and she go up and Ethan help Meagan and Steffie get up.
"Manny! What's going on?" Ellie came running out of nowhere and stopped besides Manny.
"Look for yourself," Manny moved so Ellie could see Peaches.
Ellie gasped and hug Peaches, "I'm so happy to my girl!"
Louis smiled but gasped when Ellie picked up Louis, "and you too."
Louis nodded, "its great to be back. I was really missing my home."
Ellie put Louis on Peaches. head and look at the other mammoths, "are you guys alright?"
Ethan nodded and so did the girls.
"A nightmare down there," mumbled Meagan.
"Good," sighed Ellie in relief, "so did anything happen while you guys were down there?"
Ethan and Peaches exchanged glances.
"Nothing much," Peaches said, "Buck was there to help us get back here."
"Well he is part of our herd," said Manny.
"And that Peaches and Ethan kissed," mumbled Louis.
"What was that?" Manny asked.
"Nothing," said Louis.
"Well, we girls gotta go back to our homes," said Steffie.
And Meagan and Katie nodded.
"What about you Ethan?" Asked Ellie.
"Oh, I should go too. To find my mates, I'm sure they are all worried about where I went."
After the girl and Ethan went. Peaches turned to Manny.
"Did you ever found Shira and Elia?" She asked.
"Well there's some bad news and some good news," said Manny.
"Good news first please," said Louis.
"Well we found Elia and Shira and Gutt and his crew. We manage to lock Gutt's crew away until further notice," Manny explained.
"And what's the bad news?" Peaches asked.
"Shira got injured by Elia who was a traitor," answered Ellie.
"What! Is she alright!?" Peaches demanded.
"Well, Elia did strike Shira on the neck. So we don't know if she will make it," said Ellie, "but I bandage her neck to help stop the bleeding."
"But what happen with Elia being Shira's friend!?" Peaches yelled.
"That's what we all want to know but not right now," said Manny.
"I have to see her right now!" said Peaches.
"No, she's kinda in a coma right now. She's needs privacy," said her mother.
"Is there any more bad news?" Louis asked.
"Shira pregnant," answered Manny.
"But how is that bad news?" Asked Louis, Diego and Shira a perfect with each other.
"With another saber," said Ellie.
"What! You mean, someone besides Diego is Shira's mate!?" Panic Peaches.
Manny nodded, "he's part of Gutt's crew."
"I shouldn't be knowing this," said Louis covering his ears.
"Look we take you to Diego and the others," Ellie said, "we explain everything."
"I can't believe we got deafted...again!" complained Squint as he sat down and shook his head.
Him and Gutt and the crew were trapped in a big cave under a huge oak tree, the floor with covered in dry patches of grass and the walls were to tough to break through. The door had strong tree branches stuck to the ground and going straight for the top and more tree branches went horizontal and had vines to hold them together with the other branches. Even the crew together can't bust through them because it's to strong for them.
"Shut it," grumbled Gutt who sat in the corner with a disappointed look.
"Maybe we can dig our way out," said Flynn.
Raz shook her head. "Maybe we should stop trying to kill the herd, they are just wasting our time."
Moonstone looked at Gutt, than at Elia who was lying next to him sleeping. He didn't really like Elia that much, to him, Elia is just nothing to him.
He didn't even understand why Elia is so attached to him, he rather be with Shira than Elia. When they were thrown in here, Elia just kept close to Moonstone no matter what. If he moved a tiny bit than Elia would move closer to him even if she is asleep or not.
Elia wanted to join the crew every since she and Shira was captured on the ship, and while Shira was asleep. Elia wanted to join and Gutt agreed. She only needed to pretend she still is Shira friend until she gets the right moment to lung for Shira's neck and let her die.
"I can't believe we stuck here," grumbled Gupta.
"At least we are still alive," said Silas.
The boar snorted.
"Shut it! All of you!" Yelled Gutt and the crew stopped.
"Peaches!" Cried the possums as they saw Peaches, Manny and Ellie came into view.
"Your back!" Sid said.
"Hey guys," smiled Peaches and she hug her uncles.
"Hey," said Fang.
"Don't think I haven't forgot about you, Fang," Peaches rubbed Fang head and Fang grunted.
Diego smiled a bit.
"Diego! I'm so sorry this happen to you. To all of us," said Peaches giving Diego a big hug.
"Yea," mumbled Diego as they let go.
Louis carefully jump off and landed on the ground.
"Hey little guy," greeted Sid.
"Hi," said Louis.
"Is Shira in there," Peaches pointed to the cave.
"Yes," answered Fang.
"Aww, I feel so guilty!" Peaches shook her head and sighed.
"It isn't your fault honey," Ellie patted Peaches shoulder.
"If I was only there to help her."
"Don't blame yourself," said Diego. "It's my fault...for every thing."
"Diego," Manny started.
"No Manny, its all my fault. No one is changing that."
"Well, what about the pirates?" Sid interrupted.
"We are not seeing them," said Manny.
"But why?" Asked Peaches.
"They are dangerous."
"But didn't you say they were lock up, what harm could they do to us?"
"It doesn't matter if they don't have their weapons or lock up. They are sill dangerous."
"Maybe Peaches is right," said Fang, "we should at least talk to them and tell us what's been really going on. Like, how come Elia lun for Shira."
"I agree," said Diego.
"Fine, lets go than," mumbled Manny.
Next chapter will be about the herd and the pirates.
