Hey everyone I'm back with another chapter! Sorry for the long wait I was catching up with other things again like working out, plus finishing my story for 'Ice Age 6: The Extinction'. (If you haven't read it yet, I would be pleased if you checked it out and read it for yourself)
Anyway the next chapter is up, so just sit back and enjoy!
Out in the open meadow field, Kodak was leading the rest of the teen hunters back to the village as they carried only their spears in the palm of their heads. But not only did they were carrying their spears but what they had jammed on it as it showed a large fat carcass of meat jammed into each of the spears being carried by the hunters as they were carrying it all the way back to honor their home of what they've done today.
Once they entered the concreted walls that were separated from each other, Kodak was the first to shout out to everyone.
"People of the village! We bring you the token our gratitude. As of tonight we feast!" Kodak shouted upon the villagers with victory
(CHEERING)
(CLAPPING)
(WHISTLING)
All the men continued to cheer as Runar and Ragnar started making their way towards Kodak and his hunters and gave them a warm clap of honor.
"Well done scouts, well done." Runar congratulated them
"Always a pleasure serving you chief" Kodak replied with a small bow
Runar smiling turned his head over to Ragnar. "I've seen these kid's training actually payed off as planned, brother. I'm very impressed"
"Indeed, if I said so myself; it took me nearly a few months to get these boys straighten out but they managed to overcome it" said Ragnar feeling proud
"Well how about it sir? Do we get the rest of the day off?" asked one of the boy's in the village who was named Aris
"Yeah sir, because I was scheduled for a game of post office at 5pm sharp" said another boy in the village who was named Muck
"Post office? You stupid sparrow that's a kid's game" Aris confirmed the boy
"Not the way I play it" Muck replied back
Runar, Ragnar, Kodak and the other teen hunters looked at Muck in confusion before Runar answered their offer.
"Well…I think you've boy's hunted enough kill for one day. Call it a day" Runar reported to the boys before they cheered in excitement and began to walk away with the loaded carcass on their spears.
(BOYS CHATTERING)
(LAUGHING)
(WHOOPING)
"When it comes to hunting, it sure makes me hungry. We'll get the fire started and cook the damn thing till it's…" said Ragnar before he was pulled back by Runar
"Now wait a minute, brother. Exactly what kind of meat did that carcass came from?" Runar asked
Ragnar chuckled and patted Runar on the shoulder. "Why from the biggest thing on Earth, brother…a mammoth"
That word suddenly struck Runar in the back of head, like it felt like a lightning bolt, causing him to have a terrible headache.
(RUNAR GROANING)
"Why what's wrong with that?" Ragnar asked his brother
"It's just…do you remember that story I told you about?" Runar asked
"I don't recall…" Ragnar answered before remembering. "Oh wait, I remember, you mean the story where your son was saved by a sloth, saber and…a mammoth"
"Yes, you see I…" Runar attempted to tell him before Ragnar quickly stopped him
"Brother, brother, you must stop it with this infamous three saving your son from a horrible fate. That was 16 years ago"
"16 years? It's bad enough for 16 years that my son's being living in his own fantasy world talking to animals making me unspeakable to him" Runar confirmed his brother
"Runar, sometimes kids are inherited with what they call "fantasy world personality"; your son has probably been experiencing these lifelong extensive developments after he was born. Besides he has Nat and Mucho by his side"
Runar raised brow at Ragnar. "You mean 'Newt and Minho?'" he confirmed
Ragnar snapped his fingers and wagged it at his brother. "Yeah, that too"
Runar sighed. "I-I don't want to talk about this anymore. I'm going to gather more wood for tonight, while you go start preparing for the feast tonight"
With that said, Runar walked away leaving Ragnar to himself. Ragnar then turned his head over and saw Roshan walking back up with a chuck-load of firewood in his arms; the man shook his head at him and scoffed under his breath.
(SCOFFING)
"Damn kid. No wonder he's been listening to too many stories for pete's sake" Ragnar agitatedly mouthed before walking away
Meanwhile, Roshan went into hard labor with Newt and Minho as the three were gathering firewood for the big bonfire tonight laid upon their arrival on their new home. The other teens, however, were sitting down doing other teenage stuff: chatting, laughing, and even fooling around. Luckily, Iorek was helping Roshan, Newt, and Minho out as the bear helped them carry the very long logs of wood back to the village.
Once they made it back three began stacking the logs one by one making each log tip onto the next to make it look like a shape-sized tent. Then they started placing some of the smaller woods down on the pile and started spreading them around to make it look like it was bigger; bigger enough to get a blazing fire going.
While they were working, something caught Roshan's eye when he turned to face the sight of smoke coming over from one of the mountains. The boy dropped what he was doing and decided to get a very good glimpse at it as he studied the smoke. He knew it had to be bad and something in his conscience kept telling him that it had to do with Kodak and the other teen hunters. That started to make Roshan feel worried that whatever the other kids were doing, was definitely not good.
Iorek came appearing next to Roshan as he nudged the boy's back with his snout.
"Iorek? Have you ever wondered what would it be like to go out there…in the wild…all by yourself?" Roshan asked
"Well boy, there are many who've seek that question, but the truth is, it always appears to be a mystery" Iorek replied explaining to him
"Mystery? But Iorek, you've been out there for so long, you got to at least remember a time where you would had faced something" said Roshan
"Roshan my boy, sometimes we're not sure what lies out there within the wild. And tell me this, if you were to go out and wonder by yourself, and if you gotten into trouble would you rather stay back here in the village with the rest of your people or would you rather risk your life?" Iorek explained
Roshan made a slight nod. "Yeah, yeah I would want to go out there. But what's the point of it being a 'mystery'?"
"Well that's just it, child. If the less is revealed, the more you wonder" Iorek explained his point to Roshan
"Ha, ha, funny, real funny" said Roshan mockingly leaving Iorek chuckling
"You're time will come young one. It'll come someday, I know it" Iorek promised him
Roshan knew that Iorek was right about something like that. But there is only one thing that he knew to himself…and that was he's been living being closed doors all his life. Roshan figured Iorek would tell him that going out there would be a 'mystery' was because he wouldn't tell if by going out there would mean something waiting for him to happen that could be called fate. But Roshan didn't care what could be lying out there for him; he just wanted to see it for himself.
"Hey Roshan!" Minho called making Roshan turn around. "C'mon we got a lot more wood to chop up!"
Just as Roshan was about to get back to work, he looked back over to the open walls that showed the wilderness before him. And like he said, he didn't care what kind of fate could be waiting for him…he just wanted to see it for himself.
The next scene changes showing Manny along with Sid, Diego, Shira, and Ellie as they continued on their morning stroll through the trail in the woods. They kept in conversation before suddenly Diego came to a halt.
His ear began to twitch when he suddenly heard the audible sounds of wailing coming from the distance. He moved his head forward from side to side as he carefully listened to where it was coming from.
Shira noticed her husband stopped in the way back for some reason so she decided to go see what was wrong.
"Diego, what's the matter? Is the walk tiring your softie self out?" Shira asked in a sarcastic tone
"Shhh! Do you hear that?" Diego asked asking his wife if she can hear it too
"Huh? What do you mean?" Shira asked feeling confused
"Shhh!" Diego shushed again, "Just listen!"
Just as things started to get a little intense Sid along with Manny and Ellie walked over to the two sabers to see what the commotion was all about.
"Hey Diego, Shira what's the hold up?" Sid asked the saber couple
"Shhh!" Diego and Shira shushed the stupid sloth
"Alright you don't have to be pussy…HEY! I just learned a new word 'pussy'! You don't have to be pussy, like the pussy-cats you are!" Sid joked and began laughing hysterically
(LAUGHING)
Shira looked over at Sid with an annoyed look, and she raised her back leg up. And with reflex she shot it right at Sid punching him right in the crotch between his legs.
(CRUNTCH-KICK)
(SID YELPING)
Sid painfully placed both his paws on his big boy parts holding him tight; the sloth's eyes crossed between his nose as tears began to form in his eyes.
Shira smirked from behind and then she made a slight chuckle. "Is that enough pussy for you, Sid?"
"Not anymore" Sid replied before falling backwards
(GROANING PAINFULLY)
(THUDDING)
"Hey what's the hold-up back here?" Manny asked questionably
"Yeah we're almost half way to the…" said Ellie before she was interrupted by Diego
"Shhh!" Diego shushed
"Hey don't you shush my wife you…" said Manny as he began to have an argument but was silenced by Diego again
"Shhh! Be quiet, this is serious!" Diego whispered angrily
Everyone had no idea what was up with Diego, but they didn't question at all as they curiously watched their protector listen to sounds of the wind calling from the distance. Diego took a few sniffs in the air trying to scent it as he lowered his face to the ground and began to sniff it all around. His ears twitched once in every few seconds as the distance sounds started to get more intense. Then he relaxingly spread his claws out touching to the ground underneath him feeling the Earth vibrate from under his body.
"What is it?" Shira whispered into her husband's ear
Just when everything was turning out quiet, strange voices started flowing through his head. Diego's ears perked up and his eyes popped open-wide. It was the sound of grieving coming from the distance.
(WAILING)
"Do you hear that?" Diego asked everyone
"Oh c'mon this is wasting our time…" said Manny feeling fed up with this
"Shut your trunk mammoth!" Shira angrily told him to keep quiet
(WAILING CONTINUES…)
Suddenly the grieving started getting louder as it started echoing through the distance which finally got everyone's attention.
"Hey, I-I-I can hear it" said Manny feeling surprised
"Yeah, yeah me too" said Ellie feeling convinced
Just when everyone was now truly convinced by the grieving sounds, Diego felt something else come up his nose. He sniffed it before cringing his face in disgust and he coughed it out of his mouth.
(COUGHING)
"Yeah…(coughing)…definitely…(coughing)…not a good sign" said Diego coughing
(SCREAMING)
(PANICKING)
(CRYING)
The grieving suddenly bursted into sobs and weeps when the trio saw animals running past screaming and calling for help. It was like a running frenzy, only this time nothing was chasing them at all. No flood. No dinosaur. Not even an earthquake. All the trio could see was grieving and tear-stained sobs of mourning animals.
"What's going on?" Sid asked after finally recovering
"That's what we're trying to find out" said Ellie telling Sid
Just then two animal kids came running past the trio screaming and crying for help as they ran with the rest of the group.
"Run everybody, run!" screamed a Glyptodon
"They're coming, run for your lives!" screamed a horned-beaver as he and the Glyptodon came running through in between Manny's legs.
"Hey, hey, hey, watch it!" said Manny looking down at the two
"Hey, hey, wait a minute? Where's everybody going?" Diego asked the two
"What do you think?" said the horned-beaver
"The island's not safe anymore!" the Glyptodon told them
"We're all going to die!" the horned-beaver screamed
(SCREAMING)
The two screamed in the terror and started to run off leaving the trio hopelessly confused of what was going on around here.
"Well that wasn't very convincing" said Manny feeling unsatisfied
"I'll say…I didn't think the children would understand the true meaning of 'mating season' already at their time of age" said Sid saying what was absolutely wrong
"NO!" Manny shouted down at Sid making the sloth cringe
"What he means to say Sid, that something's not right" Ellie explained to him
"Oh well now that's pretty convincing" said Sid feeling satisfied
Manny and Diego annoyingly rolled their eyes and shook their heads down at the ground. Shira did as well before she saw something in the distance that stopped her heart.
"Oh my gosh, look!" Shira pointed out
The trio turned around and looked over when they were terrified to see black smoke spurring out from over the trees that were coming over the large rocks barriers.
"Oh my goodness" said Ellie surprisingly
"What in blazing smokes is that?" Sid asked quivering in fear
"I don't know? But it doesn't look good" said Manny feeling very surprised as well
(GROWLING, SNARLING)
Diego felt anger rushing through his head as his claws were dug into the ground clawing the Earth. Something was definitely going over him like he hadn't felt it like this in so long.
"Diego, what's the matter now?" Ellie asked with concern over the saber
Once Diego got his head on straight, he opened his eyes and got himself together when he heard another grieving sound coming over the barriers. The saber breathed in one last time and he sniffed the air and when he did his eyes popped wide and figured out where the smoke was coming from.
"Follow me!" Diego commanded everyone as he ran past the trio
"Softie?" said Shira
"Wait-wait a minute, what's going on?" Sid asked his friend
"No time for questions, just hurry!" Diego stopped to tell them before he started running off but was pulled back by Manny who had his trunk wrapped around his waist
"Whoa there tiger, this isn't making any sense what is going on?" Manny asked questionably
"It's Peaches!" Diego shouted
Manny and Ellie's hearts stopped feeling like they were hit with a lightning bolt as Manny released his trunk around his friend's waist and looked down at Diego with panic on his face.
"What about Peaches?" said Ellie getting scared
"What's wrong with my daughter?" Manny asked demandingly
"It's not just her…it's everyone. It's at their hangout, something's happened" Diego answered
That suddenly got Manny and Ellie in panic mode as the two started to get the feeling their daughter might have gotten in to some huge accident.
"Well don't just stand there uber-tracker, lead the way!" Manny ordered his friend
"Take us to our daughter!" Ellie told Diego
Well everyone another chapter is finished! And again sorry for the long wait I have a lot going on before I start college in a few weeks. But I promise more chapters will be coming so don't doubt on me okay. Anyway, please review and stay tuned because more will be coming your way!
