Pirate Battle

"Dad!"

"Wait, did you hear that?"

Silver looked up. Manny could have sworn he heard a voice. It sounded female-like.

"Manny..." Diego began.

"No, I heard something. I heard it!" Manny cried.

They turned to the mass of the land and off distance they saw a person. It was Peaches!

"Is that?" Diego asked.

"Peaches? There she is!" Manny cried, steering the ship toward his daughter.  "We're coming, sweetie. Don't move!"

"Daddy! Silver!" Peaches cried.

But then, something grabbed Peaches and it wouldn't let go of her. It was Gutt. He got there before them. There, all of the survivors were trapped with Ellie tied up.

"Welcome home, Daddy," Gutt gloated evilly. "What are the odds? We were just talking about you. You like the new ship? I call her Sweet Revenge."

"And look here. We've got the catch du jour," Sila teasted, gesturing to Ellie.

"I'm all right," Ellie assured her husband before she glared at Gutt. "Let my daughter go."

"It's okay. He wants me," Manny assured her. "And he's going to get me."

Diego looked and saw Shira injured, because she had been beaten up and left hurt. Shira growled as she stepped away.

"Sacrificing yourself for your daughter," the ape gloated. "How touching. How predictable. Now come and get her."

The pirates threw grappling hooks and pulled the herd's ship forward. Then they put the plank on to get across. Manny begins to approach the pirates. Silver and the others watched as the mammoth went on the pirate's ship.

"Good day, mate," Raz hissed, sourly.

"You remember us? We're the bad guys," Flynn greeted cheerfully.

Once Manny is on the ship, he glared right at Gutt. "All right, let them go."

"I don't think so. You destroyed everything I had along with that human woman of yours. I'm just returning the favor."

Manny's eyes went wide and suddnely, the pirates wrapped ropes around Manny and tied him up.

"I warned you."

Before Gutt could slice Peaches' neck, a voice screamed out.

"STOP! Let the mammoth go!"

Everyone turned and saw Louis standing bravely, having a change of heart that he does not want to lose his friend again.

"Uh-oh. Who brought the muscle to the party?" Gutt asked.

"Louis, don't!" Peaches tried to warn him.

"What's he doing?" Ethan asked quietly. "He's going to get himself killed."

"It's okay, I can handle him," Louis assured the herd.

"How cute, a hero," Gutt laughed. "Let's see what bravery gets you. Gupta, give the lad your weapon.""

"Nice knowing you, kid.

The badger throws his knife to Louis. Since he was a small mole he struggled to pull it up. The pirates laughed, thinking he was too weak, but then Louis had picked it up. 

"Let's dance, hero," he challenged.

Louis struggled but he fell and the knife went into the ship. Cracks begin to form around. Silver then appeared, swinging from a rope and bit Gutt by the foot, releasing Peaches. The ape yelled in pain as she sank her teeth in.  She pulled away revealing blood in her mouth. She had ripped a chunk of his feet off. Then she pushed Raz, Flynn and Squint with her body to free Manny. She let out a roar, terrifying the pirates.
