Panthera and Blu Tembo were riding on a man-made raft boat Mr. Cantillo made to survive. Panthera can't stand that disgusting hobo beard. She needed to get it off of him.
"Dad, that beard looks…..awful. You never had a beard as I remembered when I was young" Panthera detached the pointed spear as a dagger, "Chico, is there some shaving cream in your backpack? Por favor, for mi papá"
"I do have" Blu Tembo took out a can of shaving cream.
"Well, this will do," Mr. Cantillo said.
"Si, now hold still, dad. Mama wouldn't want to see a beard like that" Panthera said but did a little aggressively as a sign for nearly putting her and her family through a lot to think he's dead, "Mama would so be mad at you when she sees you're alive" She said with a little anger and shaved off that nasty thick beard with her spear dagger.
"Hey! Slow down! Ow!" Her father winced while he got shaved.
"I know what I'm doing. I'm the master of the blade" Panthera said.
Blu Tembo can see why Latina women like her can get feisty whenever someone does something to upset them easily. He snickered at her grumpiness. Soon he laughed seeing he had a stylish mustache and tied-up beard.
"What?!" Mr. Cantillo exclaims.
"Callete" Panthera shushed him and got every single beard off him, "Ahh…there's the face I remember. The face I haven't seen since…." She aggressively plucked the last beard trim.
"AY!" He winced.
"…..leaving me and mi familia that day you mysteriously died" Panthera finished.
"Ow! I couldn't find out how I could return!" Mr. Cantillo said.
"I know. But we didn't know you were alive this whole time. My mother declared that you're dead" Panthera said, re-attaching her weapon back together.
"I wish I never left," Her father said.
"But I'm happy to see you're alive. Still, a lot to catch up on what you missed when the world changed" Panthera said.
While rowing the boat raft, they came across a herd of brachiosaurus looking at them. It mesmerized Blu Tembo at how big they are with flesh.
"Brachiosaurs. Plant eating dinosaurs" Mr. Cantillo said.
"Ja, Spännande att se dessa" Blu Tembo said in Swedish and some of the sauropods approached them.
"Being stuck down here wasn't a prison, mija. It also made me learn about the extinct creatures. Razor helped me survive" Mr. Cantillo referred to his kwami's name.
"That's right. And boy he taught me some Spanish" Razor said.
The majestic dinosaur bellowed at them. The humans waved at them and they kept paddling the boat through the river.
"I just hope Mariquita and Gatito found their way. I can't track with my superpower that far away" Panthera said.
"Try again. They have to be close" Blu Tembo said.
Panthera took a deep breath and tried again, "Track" Her spear glowed and her eyes glowed to get a binocular vision to find them. She soon saw the Neanderthal village and the two heroes sitting by the campfire.
Her eyes returned to normal purple, "We gotta get past the snow and it's very cold. They are at some kind of….Neanderthal village. They really do exist"
"They do? Incredible" Blu Tembo said.
"Let's keep moving," Panthera said.

At the surface, Cerise was wondering where Cat Noir and Ladybug had gone. It's been 4 days and she hated rocks in the volcanic tubes. She akumatized an Italian volcanologist to do her bidding by what's in there and what is dangerous.
"Report" She spoke through the mask.
"There's an abandoned mine inside Vesuvius leading through several tunnels," The Akuma said.
"I see. Make sure there's no deadly gas to suffocate me to death" Cerise said.
A few minutes later, Cerise was waiting for confirmation, "All clear Mistress"
"I'm on my way," Cerise said, declaring how better she is than Gabriel for calling her nothing when he replaced her with Kagami for the Alliance.
"I'm coming for you, Ladybug and Cat Noir," She said maliciously.

Blu Tembo and Panthera were in the tundra area and they used ice power-ups to not freeze to death.
"Power up!" They both said.
Panthera had an ice crystal necklace instead of the jaguar tooth, ice claws, and ice skates.
Blu Tembo's cape turned into a furred hood and he got a scarf patterned like an elephant trunk. Including ice skates.
"Heh, I'm starting to like these power-ups giving a new fashion makeover," Snow Jaguar said.
"Same here, makes me feel like a woolly mammoth," Polar Tembo said.
"Increíble! You two can do that?" Mr. Cantillo said.
"Si. Now let's go, dad. Transform so you don't freeze to death" Snow Jaguar said.
"Razor, let's run!" Mr. Cantillo transformed into a velociraptor-themed superhero.
"Wow, you look awesome, Dad" Snow Jaguar said.
"Gracias. Call me Raptor Man" Raptor Man said.
"Raptor Man? Really?" Polar Tembo chuckled.
"I needed a short name, niño. Now let's go. Smilodons are somewhere here and they always hunt mammoths in the snow area" Raptor Man grabs a tree bark shield as a snowboard to glide down the icy slope.
"Heh, I hope you know a bit of skiing and ice skating combination, Chico" Snow Jaguar joins her father while ice skating down the slope.
"Of course. It's my hobby in the Alps" Polar Tembo used a makeshift snowboard, "WHOOOOOOHOOOOO!" He shouted as he slid down.
"Look at you, mija! Just as I remember you loved roller skating when you were 8!" Raptor Man said.
"Gracias!" Snow Jaguar skated faster.
As they came to the flat bottom, they slowed down their speed, "Wow, I never ice skated like this. That was fun" Snow Jaguar said.
They heard a screech and, in a reflex, they took out their weapons when they saw what looked to be like a Pyroraptor.
"Oh, shit. Is that a feather velociraptor?" Snow Jaguar asked, trying to remain still.
"Pyroraptor, it's a species from France" Polar Tembo said.
"What's also worse is that they can swim. Niños, get ready to run" Raptor Man said.
"I hope it knows about drowning," Polar Tembo said.
The nice beneath them started to crack, but instead of running, the pyroraptor dives underwater after them.
"Oh no," Raptor man saw it swim.
"Nope!" They all ran.
"We are standing on a lake!" Polar Tembo said and made a jump over the cracked ice but Snow Jaguar fell in.
"LUNA!" Raptor Man screamed.
Snow Jaguar saw the Pyroraptor swim towards her so she let herself out of the water before it could chomp down on her. Gasping for air when two men pulled her out of the ice was cracking and they had to get out of there.
So they kept running into the woods. The pyroraptor chased after them, cawing out for the rest to join the hunt.
"Great there's more!" Polar Tembo exclaims, reaches for the horn, and blows into it.
"Niño, no!" Raptor Man shouted that the horn could attract the mammoths to go berserk to a stampede.
"I have an idea!" Polar Tembo said.
Just then a herd of woolly mammoths charged through the forest, breaking down the trees. The father looked back that Snow Jaguar was trying to grab her spear from sliding off the icy cliff. The pyroraptor jumped after her and it alarmed him that he had to save her.
"TIME!" Raptor Man said his superpower word and everything around him was like a Quicksilver slow motion time speed slowing down but him. He ran towards his daughter and grabbed her before she could fall and safely placed her on the cliff. Polar Tembo was about to get crushed by the Mammoth stampede but to him he was gonna calm them down but not having enough time to stop them. So Raptor Man moved him aside too before he could get flattened. Time resumed to normal and the mammoth stampede crushed the pyroraptor pack. Only a handful of the raptors escaped.
"That was close. Looks like my plan worked too well" Polar Tembo said.
"What plan? You almost got crushed, niño!" Raptor Man glared.
"I know but at least we survived," Polar Tembo said nervously.
"Calmase, Papa" Snow Jaguar calms him down from nearly almost scaring her best friend.
"Lo siento. I'm just scared of losing you. Please don't do that again" Raptor Man calms down.
"Also, how did we end up here?" Polar Tembo did not quite remember how he ended up in this spot.
"I moved all of you with my speed," Raptor Man said.
"Quicksilver style," Polar Tembo and Snow Jaguar said.
"Que?" Raptor Man questioned.
"Never mind that," Snow Jaguar said.
"Let's keep moving," Raptor Man said.
