Hey everyone another chapter is up! Also thank you White Hunter, candy-apple14 for reviewing. Anyway, the next chapter is up so enjoy!
After a long night of panicking, Manny assembled a meeting for both his herd and the other animals of the valley as they all gathered around by the rocky terrains near the mountains. When they were assembled everyone began panicking while talking in conversation.
(TALKING INDISTINCTIVELY)
"Oh dear, what's going to happen to us?" shrieked a Glyptodon
"I don't know?" shrieked an Aardvark
"Maybe they're friendly?" said a Gastornis
"Friendly! Hello, this is humans we're talking about here!" shrieked a Macrauchenia
"Humans aren't friendly, they're never friendly!" shrieked a Shovelmouth
"They don't even like us!" shrieked a Horned Beaver
"I say let's tear them down!" shouted an Elk
"Let's break their bones!" shouted a Gazelle
"Let's ram their teeth!" shouted a Musk Ox
"Let's send them back to hell where they came from!" shouted a Moeritherium
(SHOUTING INDISTINCTIVELY)
Everyone shouted in the air chattering on starting a war with the humans. But all of that was interrupted when Manny came walking up on the large rock as the mammoth took a deep breath and trumpeted his trunk in the sky letting out a loud tremendous sound.
(TRUMPETING LOUDLY)
Everyone went into silence as they all pay close attention to Manny as he stood along with his fellow herd members.
"Everyone please calm down. Fighting won't solve anything" Ellie reassured all the animals
Soon as all the animals silenced down, Manny cleared his throat as he was ready to speak to all of them.
"Alright I suppose you're all wondering why I brought you here this morning. As of you know there had been some rumors of the incident that happened at the kid's grove yesterday, and it's my attention that I put all those rumors to rest that…they are true. It appears we have humans living among us" Manny announced
(CHATTERED PANICKING)
Shocked and surprised to everyone's attentions they soon began panicking once again as they chattered in conversation.
(CHATTERD PANICKING CONTINUES)
"Everyone quiet, quiet, QUIET DOWN PLEASE!" Manny ordered
(CHATTERED PANICKING DIES OUT)
"Listen for as long we've stayed here we have always worked together and kept our promises and make sure that each and every one of us has each other's backs. We are not a pack of wild animals"
Everyone said nothing but stare off in silence. Suddenly Eddie belched up a burp breaking the silence.
(BURPING)
"These two are animals" Louis sarcastically gestured to Crash and Eddie
(CRASH AND EDDIE GIGGLING)
"Now I know you're all scared. Well so am I, but right now is not the time to be arguing whether we want a war or not. What's best is that we should all stay calm and agree on this: if anyone catches a human off sight; find cover and stay there. You will avoid them at all costs. But most importantly do not let them see you and don't seek out to them is that clear?"
(CHATTERING CALMLY)
"Good, now move out" Manny replied and he ended the meeting
(CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)
Everyone began to spread out as all the animals headed back into the jungle. Meanwhile, Manny gathered his family together up making sure each and every member was all here.
"…6, 7, 8,9,10. Yep, that's all of us" Manny counted
"So, what do we do now daddy?" Peaches asked her father
"Yeah Manny, what's the plan?" cried Crash
"Give it to us!" cried Eddie
"Hey now wait a minute, wait a minute! I'm not answering that question, Diego is. Go ahead buddy" Manny confirmed before turning to his friend
"Thank you Manny" said Diego before turning to the whole herd. "Number one we have no idea when the humans will be coming in and about. Number two we need to make sure no one gets separated. So what I would advise each and every one of you to do is stay in your home groups. We'll split for a few and when nightfall comes we'll meet back at Manny and Ellie's"
"Sounds like a plan" Manny compromised
"I agree" said Ellie agreeing the same
"So you all understand right? Meet back at Manny and Ellie's before sundown" Diego reminded everyone
"Right" the herd compromised
Everyone soon began to disperse in their species groups: mammoths stay with possums and a mole hog; sloths stay with sloths, and sabers stay with sabers.
"Remember don't let any human catch you. If they do, well…you get the point. Now let's go" said Manny as he along with Ellie, Peaches, Crash, Eddie, and Louis began to head out
"We'll see you guys back at the cave" said Ellie
"Take care" Peaches called to her aunt and uncles
"Don't worry Peaches, we'll be okay" Shira reassured her niece
"Just stay with your parents and you'll be just fine" Diego reassured to Peaches
Soon as Manny's group disappeared out of sight, Diego and Shira were preparing themselves in case they encounter with any humans while Sid was looking for Granny (who however managed to wander off again).
"Granny!" Sid called out
"GRANNY!" he called out again
"Oh c'mon Granny we don't have time for this, we gotta…WWWWWHHHHHOOOOOAAAAA!" he called before falling down screaming at the top of his lungs
(CRASHING)
Sid who was clumsy enough to walk off a small cliff without looking was body-shaped into the ground as the sloth painfully tried reaching up before coughing up dirt.
(WEAKLY MOANING)
(COUGHING)
As Sid crawled out of the body-shaped hole he stood up and dusted himself off before seeing someone else who he must have knocked over as the creature left out a soft moan.
(SOFTLY MOANING)
"Hey bub, why don't' cha watch where you're going you know that I…" Sid yelled before he was paralyzed by what could be the most shocking discoveries he has ever seen
(Slow-motion love song starts playing as a lovely orange sloth burst out of the pile of leaves whipping her long orange hair in the air)
Pharrell: This is rainy day is temporary
(Sid released his jaw down being amazed by the orange sloth's beauty)
Pharrell: The contrast is why we got him
(The orange sloth started shaking her head and hair back and forth trying to rid of all the leaf textures while moving her hips in the same way)
Pharrell: Cause sunshine due is just a cloud a way, way, way, way, way
(Sid smiled sticking his tongue out lovingly in the most awkward way seeing how beautiful she was as he continued to stare at her)
Pharrell: Way, way, way, way, way, way
(Hey baby!)
(SONG SCREECHES TO A STOP)
Sid was now in a trance still staring at the orange sloth's beauty. Drool came drizzling out of his mouth as his eye pupils widened up real big. While he was doing that, the orange sloth noticed Sid out of the corner of her eye and she simply waved to him. However, Sid didn't response as he continued to stare at her. The orange sloth seemed to recognize his injuries as she hurriedly made is way towards him with a worried expression.
"Oh my goodness are you okay? I' am so sorry I didn't mean to bump into you like that. Dearly I' am so sorry. Are you okay? Are you hurt? Say something. Anything?" The orange sloth cried out
Sid still didn't answer; he was too dazed to take his marbles off the she-sloth as she babbled inaudibly.
(FINGER-SNAPPING)
"Hello? Excuse me is there anybody home?" The orange sloth cried out
Still with no response, the orange sloth covered her mouth with her paws fearing it could mean only one thing…
"Oh ham and cheese, I put him in a coma! Don't worry Mr. I'll save you!" the orange sloth cried out
Just before the orange sloth could make her mark, Sid snapped out of his existence and quickly stopped the she-sloth from pouncing.
"WAIT A MINUTE! I'm back to normal" Sid shouted out stopping the she-sloth
"Are you sure you're normal?" The orange sloth asked with concern
"Normal? Why my dear lady, do you know what the word 'normal' means?" Sid asked smiling
"No" the orange sloth replied shaking her head
"Good, because neither do I" Sid replied back
(BOTH LAUGHING)
"I do apologize again, I had no idea I bumped into such a gentlemen like yourself and it must have been rude of me to do so" The orange sloth apologized
"Oh miss please, please; please you don't have to apologize. I wasn't looking where I was going. Besides accident's are what run in my family anyway" Sid reassured her
"Really, you're whole family?" the orange sloth asked
"No just me because I was accident-proof" Sid joked
(BOTH LAUGHING)
"By the way my name is Sid. 'Sid the Sloth', but you can just call me Sid" Sid introduced himself
The orange sloth giggled before introducing herself. "My name is Gazzi. Gazzi the sloth"
"Gazzi, huh? That's such a beautiful name for a sloth" Sid commented
"Thanks. Listen, I don't want to be rude but I must be on my way. The humans could come any second and I sure hate to be the next orange coat" Gazzi excused
"Even without you're orange coat you'd still look ravishing" Sid commented again
"Aw, that's so sweet of you. But really I should be going…good-bye…I mean-good-bye to you is what I mean…I mean-farewell…I mean-I'll see you later…or you'll see me later…wait, what? Good-bye then!" Gazzi frantically muttered before she left
Sid lovingly dazed off at her as Gazzi started heading towards the forest waving a parting good-bye. While stuck in a trance again, Manny and Diego noticed Sid was acting all 'Sid' again and they decided to go check with him.
"Sid what's the matter with you, you gotta go" Manny reminded him
"Yeah, what did you do? Lose Granny again?" Diego said in a sarcastic tone
Sid didn't answer them as he continued dazing off at Gazzi while watching her run off into forest. Manny and Diego looked at each other confused when suddenly they caught their eyes on the female orange sloth before she disappeared into the forest. Manny and Diego then exchanged knowing smiles on their faces believing in one another that they knew it had to be only thing: their friend Sid is in love.
"Should we tell him?" Diego whispered
Manny shook his head. "No let's wait till the time comes. Then we'll tease him"
Manny and Diego exchanged a wink before looking back at their friend Sid.
Just feeling like this moment would last forever Sid was clonked on the head with a stick, knocking him out of gaze.
(BOP)
"OW!" cried Sid painfully
"You smelly yellow skunk, I missing my teeth again and you're daydreaming. C'mon and help an old lady find her teeth!" Granny shouted
(GRUNTING)
Sid whined in a begrudged tone before he began helping his grandmother find her lost teeth. As soon as he started leaving, he glanced back into the open seeing if he could spot Gazzi, but was out of sight already. Sid then sighed lovingly.
(SIGHING)
"Oh Gazzi, how I'm gazed to gaze upon you're orange gaze of gorgeousness…" Sid murmured to himself
"SIDNEY!" Granny shouted
Sid snapped out of it again and began running after Granny. "COMING!"
Manny chuckled. "Yep, that's love at first sight. You know what I'm saying?"
Diego chuckled. "Oh I hear ya"
Meanwhile back at the human campsite, things started to go back into schedule: the men would go to work preparing food for their loved ones, while the women stay in and watch their children play. As for Roshan he was in his tent packing stuff up for his journey while his friends were doing the same. Back in Newt's tent, he gathered up small things such as food and water; Minho gathered up some small tools such as knives and matches; Rowan gathered nothing but a warm blanket and water to along in her bag; As for Lolo, she gathered a nice warm blanket and last but not least a gray stuffed saber-tooth plush toy with black stripes that she sleeps with every night; she hugged in her arms before placing it in her bag. As soon as Roshan was finished packing, he dug his hand in his shirt collar and held out the three charms of the mammoth, the sloth, and the saber-tooth tiger in his hand.
"Please guide me you guys" Roshan said to himself
The boy then placed the three charms back in his shirt collar and left the tent so he could catch up with his friends.
They all soon met up by the exit gate as they were getting ready to make their journey.
"Alright does everyone have everything?" Roshan asked
"I got the bloody food" said Newt
"I got the survival kit" said Minho
"And we both got the love" Rowan pointed out referring to herself and Lolo
(LOLO GIGGLING)
Roshan soon noticed Kodak coming up with his stuff around his back as the older boy expressed a serious look on his face.
"You ready Kodak?" Roshan asked him
"Yeah, yeah, yeah whatever I'm ready" Kodak replied agitatedly
"Alright when we reach the forest the wind will guide us through the valley and we stick together. Leave no man or girl behind and stay close at all times" Roshan told his friends to follow his lead
"Now that's what I call true spirit" Rowan commented
"Well then let's not sit here like bloody eggshells all day" Newt cheered
"Yeah let's go before the day runs out" Minho cheered
"Hurray!" Lolo cheered
Just as Roshan and his friends started to head out they were soon stopped by Runar along with Ragnar who were just walking up to them.
"Hold it right there young ones" Runar called to them
"You weren't going to leave without saying good-bye now were you?" Ragnar said smiling
"That's right. If you're going to be traveling, I would advise you all to stay safe and stay together at all costs. Protect one another do you understand?" said Runar
"Yes Runar" Rowan, Newt, Minho, Lolo and Kodak answered back
Roshan didn't reply back but nod. He was still infuriated with his father after what he and his uncle ordered his men to do yesterday and he just didn't want to say anything back to him. With that, Roshan just slung his backpack over his shoulder and began heading out with his friends into the forest.
As they were leaving, Ragnar stopped Kodak for a second and brought him back over behind a boulder so that they wouldn't be seen by anyone; not even Runar.
"What's up, sir something wrong?" Kodak asked
"Oh nothing my boy, I just want to give you a little heads up" Ragnar smiling told him
"Okay let me have it, sir" Kodak replied
Ragnar quickly made sure no one was listening as he looked over from each side of the boulder before coming up to Kodak again and he quietly began to whisper into the older boy's ear.
"Now pay attention. When the time comes when it getting late out, I want you to make sure that you and you're umm…friends get left a strayed for a while. If you know what I mean?" Ragnar whispered to Kodak
Kodak raised a brow. "You mean like, 'get lost'?"
Ragnar smiling nodded with a smirk. "Also, make sure Roshan doesn't himself into any sort of…well, accident while you're out there"
Kodak smirking looked into Ragnar's eyes when he knew what he was actually talking about before the older boy nodded in agreement.
"Oh and just to make sure you understand here's a little extra token of my honor" Ragnar whispered back
"Okay then let me have it" said Kodak as he reached out his hand
"You got it" Ragnar whispered
Ragnar turned his hand into a fist and with a fast reflex he punched Kodak right in the gut knocking the older boy onto his knees.
(PUNCH)
"AGH" Kodak groaned painfully
Kodak held onto his stomach with both his arms as he coughed out some saliva out of his mouth as he choked away.
(MOANING, COUGHING)
"What the hell did you do that for?" Kodak painfully shouted out
Ragnar grasped his shirt and pulled him back up and covered the boy's mouth with his hand.
"Shut your damn mouth boy" Ragnar angrily whispered
"Brother. What's going on over there?" Runar called
"Nothing big brother just helping out one of our young ones" Ragnar called back lying to him
"That's fine" Runar called back
Ragnar released his hand off the boy's mouth and soon grabbed Kodak's shirt and pulled him towards his face. "Now once more I'm going to give you a little piece of advice: don't mess this up! If you so much as double-cross me, I'll see to it that you're worthless carcass lies sizzling in the desert sun at the mercy of the vultures! You understand!"
Kodak fearfully nodded. "Yes sir"
Ragnar then smiled. "Good. Now get lost and do it like I told you!"
Ragnar roughly pushed Kodak away before Kodak headed out of the exit gate and headed out as he catched up with Roshan and the rest of his friends as the six began making their journey through the island.
Well everyone another chapter is finished! And guess what I'm back at school and my Wi-Fi is working perfectly so that I can use it for real. Well it looks like Sid just met Gazzi for the first time and Ragnar seems like he's up to no good. What will happen to Roshan and his friends? Or most importantly what will happen to them and the herd? Anyway please review and keep spreading me some more ideas and stay tuned because more will be coming your way!
