A shining light engulfed the Gummi Ship as the door to a new pathway was opened. The light dimmed and a new planet was visible in the sky.
The newly revealed world seemed to be covered in Snow and Ice that were visible even from space cascaded down the landscape. Standing out most of all was a huge mountain that towered above it all.
"Hey, you know, I don't think we've been to this world before." Said Sora as he peered down at the world through the window of the ship,
"Hey, maybe Riku's down there!" He suddenly became excited.
"And maybe the King's down there too!" Goofy added.
"Oh, no, no, no! Remember last time we went to a world like this one? We didn't find anyone that we were looking for, so don't get your hopes up. What makes you guys think that they would be in the middle of some snow anyway!?" Donald exclaimed in disagreement.
"But they COULD be there! How will we know if we don't look?!" Sora exclaimed desperately, almost begging.
"You think they're everywhere! C'mon, we're turning this ship around." Donald said stubbornly as he spun the steering wheel to one side.
"Oh, c'mon. Let's at least have a look…" Sora reached for the steering wheel and started pulling it the opposite way.
"What are you doing!? Don't you remember what happened the last time you did this!?" Donald exclaimed, still being too stubborn himself to give in.
Sora didn't hear him at all. His mind was set on getting to that planet.
"Whoa, whoa guys! Stop it, you're gonna…" Goofy said tried to stop them, but he was stopped by the ship's sudden jerking movement.
The ship spun around and swerved from side to side as they fought over the controls. They were all thrown off balance, each one being thrown in a different direction. Goofy was thrown into a corner in the back of the ship while Donald was squished against the front glass.
Sora was thrown forward into the controls where many levers and blinking buttons lay spread across a panel.
He desperately reached out for something to grab onto as he was airborne, pulling many different levers in different directions in the process. His body landed on the panel, applying pressure to many different colored buttons. As he lifted himself up with his arms, he suddenly realized what he had just done.
The ship's alarm sounded and the interior of the ship lit up with flashing red lights. A computer voice came on,
"WARNING. WARNING. SHIP IS UNSTABLE."
Donald slid down the glass and suddenly shouted,
"Oh no! We're being sucked in by the planet's atmosphere. We're coming in too fast…WE'RE GONNA CRASH!"
Sora rubbed his head sheepishly. "Uh, oops…"
Donald just scowled at him and rolled his eyes.
"AH!" Sora yelled as he fell down towards the planet. He plummeted through the sky and landed with a thud.
He rose to the surface and examined his surroundings for the first time. He was surrounded by a snow covered landscape.
"Brr! It's cold." He shivered.
Sora then noticed something in the distance as it was hopping. "What is that?"
They turn to her and saw what she was looking at, as it looked like a small creature as it hops along and nears them. And they saw it was a squirrel with saber fangs and was carrying an acorn.
They watched as the squirrel hops off and soon digs a section of the ice and tries pushing his acorn into the ground as if he was trying to bury it. He sniffs the ice and hopped off a little and tries again but had no luck. He tries a little further away and tries slamming the acorn into the ground but had no luck.
The squirrel soon hops off.
"That was unusually." Goofy said.
"It looked like a squirrel of some kind." Sora said.
"What was it doing?" Donald asked.
"I think he was trying to bury his acorn." Sora said.
They then followed him as Scrat tries over by a patch of grass, and hops off and scratches the ice again. And then hops off again, and eventually he sniffs a section of ice that was promising. Scrat then squeaked and then shoves his acorn into the ground, and then struggles to get his acorn in deeper and then hops on it. Then suddenly the acorn dropped a bit with a thump as Scrat grunted.
Then suddenly a crack formed in the ice behind the acorn as Scrat looked underneath him as it passes by Sora, Donald and Goofy. And it soon reaches a glacier wall as it cracks up the side. Scrat soon turns the glacier and watches as the crack heads up the side.
"Uh, little fella... is this suppose to happen?" Goofy asked Scrat.
"Somehow I don't think so." Sora said.
The crack reaches the top of the glacier and continues on as it cracks around an arch of ice, and continues further on and eventually it reaches the top of a glacier and knocks piece of ice off, and a huge section of the glacier falls and hits the ground and slides.
"That was odd." Sora said.
Scrat remained silent for a moment and had a nervous look.
Then the shadow of the glacier appeared as they looked up at.
"This... could be a problem." Sora said.
They then quickly took off running as then Scrat suddenly stopped remembering something, and then screams turning to his acorn still in the ice. Scrat quickly went back for it and tries to pull it free but it was wedged in deep. Scrat continues pulling on the acorn as the glacier was getting closer, and he continues pulling as he wails out.
"Move aside!" Sora said quickly rushed in.
Sora then fires a fire stream from his keyblade to get the acorn free as Scrat continues pulling as Sora helped. And then the acorn got free as the 2 were thrown back and hits the ice. They then turned to the glacier and then screamed.
Suddenly they all found themselves running for their lives as huge spikes of ice rain down on them. And sections of ice hit the ground behind Scrat and Sora as they screamed as the glacier slid across the ice and soon flattens some trees as they ran.
They continued running as they were ahead of the glacier, and then Scrat looked ahead and screamed as they skid to a stop.
In front of them was another glacier coming towards them.
"Where did that come from?!" Goofy exclaimed.
Seeing that both glaciers were closing in, they quickly took off running as they crashed into each other. And they saw that both sides were starting to close up. Sora quickly used his keyblade as a sled as Scrat hopped on his acorn as they slid across the ice as Scrat rode his acorn like a sled as he screamed. They near the opening as the gap was getting narrower, and it soon closed in on Scrat as the others were out. The glacier continues squeezing as Scrat's acorn popped out and then Scrat's head as the glaciers closes.
And then Scrat popped out of the glacier as they ran into the others as they flew in the air.
"Ooh!" Scrat caught his acorn.
Twilight quickly caught Spike as then Scrat saw they were still in the air as he squawks loudly as they fell.
They soon hit the side of a slope, and slid off a rock and they hit the side of the hill a few times before finally landing on the ground.
"Ow." Sora groaned.
Scrat blinked a few times and got up and pulls his fangs free from the ground and shook his head. But he then saw his acorn was missing as he sniffed around and feared he lost it. But then the acorn drops on his head and on the ground. Scrat beamed and takes it and hugs it.
"Well, that was a bit crazy back there." Sora said.
"Yeah." Goofy said.
Then Scrat lifts a foot up heading off, when suddenly a Mammoth foot stomps right on top of him.
"OOH!" The group exclaimed cringing.
"He'll... feel that tomorrow." Sora said.
The Mammoth soon walks off as Scrat soon lifts his head, and soon recovered. But then a rhino steps on him, and then another Mammoth, then a Dodo, and then lastly a Macrauchenia steps on him. And this time Scrat was pancake flat on his foot, and groans as he was stuck. And continues groaning as the Macrauchenia walks off not noticing as the group watched as he was part of a large migration of Ice Age animals.
Sora, Donald and Goofy walk a little further ahead of the migration highway, and then saw a group of young animals seemingly stuck in a tar pit.
"Help! Help! Help! Help!" They cried.
"Come on, kids, let's go!" Their father said. "The traffic's moving."
"But, but, but, Dad!" One of the kids said and slipped in the tar.
"No buts." The father said. "You can play extinction later."
"Aw, okay." The young animal said and got up. "Come on, guys."
They then headed off.
Sora, Donald and Goofy followed the herd more.
"So, where's Eddie?" A Glyptodon asked another.
"He said something about being on the verge, of an evolutionary, breakthrough." Another Glyptodon said.
"Really?"
Then a Glyptodon was seen on a ledge rushing the edge, and they turn to him.
"Oh, I'm flying!" He yelled jumping off the edge.
And then he fell and hits the ground.
"Some breakthrough." The Glyptodon said.
"You're telling me." Rainbow muttered as Applejack nodded.
Then suddenly a number of animals gasped loudly.
"Look out! Look out!" An animal yelled.
Among the crowd of animals, a Mammoth was seen strangely going the opposite direction.
"You're going the wrong way!" An animal said as the the Mammoth continues on as the ground shook with each step he took.
The shouting continues as he continued on.
"A raging Mammoth!" An Aardvark yelled.
Some animals moved aside as Twilight and the others saw the Mammoth continued on with a sort of a grouchy look on his face.
"Hey, do the world a favor!" A Moeritherium yelled as the Mammoth turns to him. "MOVE YOUR ISSUES OFF THE ROAD!"
"Hey, big guy, trying walking out of the way of everyone!" Sora suddenly said.
"If my trunk was that small, I wouldn't draw attention to myself, pal." The Mammoth said lowering down to them and making the Moeritherium nervous.
"Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy." Sora quickly said.
"Give me a break." The Moeritherium nervously said. "We... We've been waddlin' all day."
Next to him was his family and the Mammoth calms down.
"Oh, go ahead." He said. "Follow the crowd. It'll be quieter when you're gone." He then walks off.
"Ah, come on." The Moeritherium father said. "If he wants to freeze to death, let him."
Twilight and the others watched as the Mammoth heads off.
"What's his issue?" Sora wondered.
"Don't know." Goofy shrugged?"
The migration continues as the Goofy noticed a sloth in a tree sleeping on a branch.
"Hey, look." Goofy said.
They all turn to the sloth, and the tree slightly shook as the sloth snored as he slept. And then he was about to fall over as he woke up and yelped clinging to the branch.
"Huh? Hey, hey, I'm up." He said. "I'm up." He then climbs onto the branch. "Hey, rise and shine, everybody." He called out to someone but noticed no one was around. "Huh? Zak? Marshall?" He hops down to a lower branch. "Bertie? Uncle Fungus? Where is everybody? Come on, guys." He then slid down to the ground. "We're gonna miss the mi... the mi... the migration."
He saw he was the only one around as the Mane 6 watched as a cricket was heard chirping.
"They left without me." The sloth said. "They do this every year." He then tears up. "Why? Doesn't anyone love me?"
Feeling sorry, they went over to the sloth as Goofy patted his shoulder.
"Isn't there anyone who cares about Sid the Sloth?" Sid said.
A passing Glyptodon then quickens his pace.
"All right, I'll just go by myself." Sid said.
He then took a step as then a squish was heard as Sora, Donald and Goofy cringed as Sid stepped in a pile that wasn't mud.
"Oh, sick." Sid said in disgust." Hey, wide body! Curb it next time!" He yelled out to the Glyptodon. "Oh, jeez. Oh, yuck! Oh!"
They followed as they Sid was busy cleaning his feet as he soon stood on top of a salad of greens with 2 rhinos as the group suddenly got nervous. And Sora knew well how short-tempered they can be.
"Oh, it makes me so... Oh, I... Oh, yuck!" Sid said. "This has definitely not been my day."
"Uh... Sid?" Sora said.
"I mean, you know what I'm saying, buddy?" Sid said to the gray rhino. "Oh, and what a mess. Hey, you rhinos, you know, you have really tiny brains. Did you know that? No, it's just a fact. No offense. You probably don't even know what I'm talkin' about." He then chuckled and noticed something. "Oh, yummo!" He then grabs a dandelion. "A dandelion. Must be the last one of the season." He then eats it. "Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!"
"Carl?" The gray rhino said getting irritated.
"Easy, Frank." Carl said.
"He ruined our salad." Frank said.
Sid then saw the salad he was standing on and turns to them.
"Oh, oh, my mistake, fellas." Sid said. "My mistake. I mean, let me, let me..." He backed away and trips over a branch. "No, no, seriously, I... Let me take care of this. W-What? What is this?" He then brought out a pine cone. "Pine cones! Oh, my goodness! They're my favorite." He nervously then takes a bite of it. "Mmm! Delicious. Ow. Uh, that's uh, good eatin'."
"Uh... I don't think-" Sora said.
"But don't let me hog them all up." Sid said placing a pine cone in Carl's mouth and moves his mouth. "Oh, no. Here, you have some. Tasty, isn't it?"
Carl then growled.
"Bon appétit." Sid said takes off running.
"Uh... We're gonna go." Sora said and ran off as well as the others.
"Now?" Frank asked.
They watched as the group runs off.
"Now." Carl said.
They then charged after them as Sid screamed, and he looked back as they kept running. Then suddenly they ran into something and hit the ground. And then the figure turned as it was the Mammoth they saw earlier.
"Hey!" He said.
"Sorry." Goofy said.
"You again." Sora said recognizing him.
Sid then turns to the rhinos and got nervous as hoofbeats were heard as Frank and Carl were coming.
"Just pretend that I'm not here." Sid begged.
"Man, I wanted to hit him at full speed." Frank said as the Mammoth turns to them.
"That's okay, Frank." Carl said. "We'll have some fun with him."
"Don't let them impale me." Sid begged. "Please. I wanna live!" He clings to the Mammoth's left leg as well as Sora, Donald and Goofy.
"Get off me." The Mammoth said.
He then knocks them off his leg.
"Okay!" Goofy said.
"Yeesh. Grouchy fella." Sora said.
"Come on." Carl said. "You're making a scene."
"Uh-huh." Frank said. "We'll just take our furry piñata and go, if you don't mind."
Sid nervously hid behind the Mammoth.
"Hey, buddy, if it's not them today, it's just someone else tomorrow." The Mammoth said to Sid.
"Well, I'd rather it not be today, okay?" Sid said.
"Can we at least talk about this?" Goofy asked.
"Look, we're gonna break your neck so you don't feel a thing." Carl said. "How's that?"
"Wait a minute." The Mammoth said. "I thought rhinos were vegetarians."
"An excellent point." Sid said sticking his hand out from behind him.
"Shut up." The Mammoth lightly snapped.
"Who says we're gonna eat him after we kill him?" Carl inquired.
"Yeah, come on, move it." Frank said.
"You know, I don't like animals that kill for pleasure." The Mammoth said.
"Save it for a mammal that cares." Carl said.
"I'm a mammal that cares." Sid said.
Sora, Donald and Goofy raised their hands up as well.
"Okay, look, if either of you make it across that sinkhole in front of you, you get the sloth." The Mammoth said.
Frank and Carl turn to the sinkhole and turn to each other.
"We like to see you try!" Sora said.
"That's right, you losers." Sid hopping out from hiding. "You take 1 step, and you're dead!" He then threw a rock out.
The Mammoth's eyes then widen as the rock bounced across the ground and skids to a stop in front of Frank. And he and Carl smirked turning back to them as the sinkhole was solid ground.
"Uh-oh." Sora said nervously.
"You were bluffing, huh?" Sid said realizing he blew it as they all had nervous looks.
"Yeah. Yeah, that was a bluff." The Mammoth said.
"Oh, boy." Goofy said.
"Oh, no." Sora said.
Sid then rushed behind the Mammoth.
"GET HIM!" Frank and Carl yelled.
They then charged as the Mammoth then held them back as the 2 started pushing him back. Behind him, Sid saw they were being pushed back to the edge of a cliff as he held on to his leg as he screamed now over the edge.
The Mammoth gritted his teeth, and then he started pushing the rhinos back, and then throws then forward as Frank and Carl hit the ground.
"Who-hoo!" Sid cheered.
"Yikes!" Goofy exclaimed.
Sid then screamed as he and Pinkie ducked behind the Mammoth as Carl and Frank charged towards them. And then the Mammoth charges as the group turns to him, and the Mammoth caught Carl by this horn, and the Mammoth spun around and throws Carl ahead as they watched and cringed as he hits the ground. But then they saw Frank charging at them, Sid screamed as he got closer, but then Frank was lifted off his feet as the Mammoth caught him in his tusks. And then he tossed Frank away.
Meanwhile, Carl saw a dandelion near him.
"A dandelion?" Carl said.
But then Frank landed on it.
"Ha-Ha! We win!" Sora cheered.
"Whoo-hoo!" Sid cheered. "We did it!" He then went to hug the Mammoth but caused him to accidentally slipped over the edge. "We did it!"
The Mammoth then slipped as he slid back.
"Uh-oh." Sora said.
"Wh... What?" The Mammoth said.
Twilight and the others tried to pull him back up, but he then went over the edge as Sid, Sora, Donald and Goofy screamed as they fell.
The Mammoth soon slid to a stop at the bottom as Sid and the others held onto to him.
Sid soon turns to the Mammoth as his eyes opened.
"You have beautiful eyes." Sid said.
"Get off my face." The Mammoth said.
"Okay." Sora said.
Sora, Donald and Goofy hopped off as the Mammoth got up as Sid hits the ground.
"Whoa. You and me, we make a great team." Sid said. "I mean, whattaya saw we just head south together."
"Great." The Mammoth said heading off. "Yeah. Hey, jump up on my back and relax the whole way."
"Wow, really?" Sid said.
"No." The Mammoth said.
"Wait. Aren't you going south?" Sid said.
"Uh, isn't south that way." Sora said pointing the opposite he was going.
"The change of seasons?" Sid said. "Migration instincts? Any of this ringin' a bell?"
"I guess not. Bye." The Mammoth said heading off.
"Huh. Wonder what that was about." Sora said.
"Okay, then." Sid said. "Thanks for the help. I can take it from here."
Sid heads off as then Carl and Frank were seen on the cliff.
"Hey, you overgrown weasel!" Carl yelled as Sid nervously heads the other way. "Wait till we get down there!"
"Whoa!" Sid said as he and the Mane 6 caught up with the Mammoth. "That whole south thing is way overrated. The heat, the crowds. Who needs it? I mean, isn't this great? You and me, 2 bachelors knocking about in the wild."
"No, you just want a bodyguard so you don't become somebody's side dish." The Mammoth said.
"Wha...? Pfft! Nonsense!" Rarity nervously laughed.
"You're a very shrewd mammal." Sid said. "Okay, then you lead the way, Mr. Big, uh... I didn't get the name."
"I believe we didn't catch your name." Twilight said.
"Manfred." The Mammoth said.
"Manfred? Yuck, man." Sid said. "How about Manny, the Moody Mammoth? Or Manny the Melancholy... Manny the..." He then gasped as Manfred turns to him.
Sid then climbs up a tree as Manfred pulls the tree towards him.
"Stop following me." He said.
He lets go of the tree as Sid slid down hitting the tree a few times.
"Okay, okay, so you've got issues." Sid said as Manfred walks off. "look, you won't know I'm here. I'll just zip the lip. 'Cause when I say "mmm", I'm "mmm"."
"Yeah, you won't even know we're here." Goofy said.
