Ice Age: The Meltdown

Chapter 2

The group paced over towards where Fast Tony was who was beside a turtle (i think it's a turtle-) who was gasping for air.

Manny went and grabbed the armadillo by the ankle, catching him off guard as he yelped loudly.

"Why you scaring everyone with this doomsday stuff?" He questioned with a glare.

"Ha!" Fast Tony fake-laughs at everyone before whispering, whilst loud enough for the sabers, to Manny, "I'm trying to make a living here pal."

He then throws himself away, making it look like he mammoth had thrown him, hiding in his shell as he bounces up ahead twice before jumping out on top of a rock, some feet away from the herd.

"It's all apart of my weather forecast!" He began, "The five day outlook is calling. Followed by-" He pointed to the sky and dramatically proclaimed; "-THE END OF THE WORLD!!"

The crowd (minus the herd) gasped loudly at the claim, watching on as the armadillo as he pointed at the sun.

"With a slight patch of sunshine," He continued more casually; "later in the week."

"Come on, don't listen to him!" Manny yelled out. "Fast Tony would sell his own mother for a grape."

Hearing an offer, Fast-Tony immediately made his way to the mammoth as he leaned closer towards him.

"Are you trying to make an offer?" He whispers, Hazel just glared at him for responding like that. He soon notice everyone staring at him, making him scramble away from Manny.

"I mean No," He proclaimed to everyone loudly. "I would not!"

"Haven't you heard," Someone from the crowd spoke up; "-The ice is melting!"

"You see this ground, it's covered in ice," Manny began sternly; "A thousand years ago, it was covered in ice, a thousand years from now, it'll still, be, ice."

"Say buddy," An anteater steps up; "-uh, not to cast dispersion on your survival instincts or nothing but," He casted out a smile, questioning in an almost mocking tone; "-haven't mammoths, pretty much gone extinct?"

"What are you talking about?" Manny questioned, somewhat off guard by the comment.

"I'm talking about been the last of your kind?" He explained.

"Arugh...your breath smells like ants!" He replies in a brief panic.

The anteater held his nose to mouth to smell it. A look of grim immediately expressed on his face as the scent of ants entered his nose.

"Be that as it may." He coughed weakly, turning back to the bigger mammal with a smile. "When was the last time you saw another mammoth?"

"He irks me." Hazel growled to Diego.

"Just don't pay him attention," He replied to her lowly, "-and don't listen to him," he continues to Manny who didn't respond to the anteater.

"Mammoths can't go extinct they're the biggest things on earth!" Manny retorts quickly, ignoring the saber's comment.

"Well what about the dinosaurs?" A female bird added.

"The dinosaurs got cocky," Manny argued back, "-They made enemies."

"Look!" Someone else cries out. "Some idiot's about to jump off the escalator!!"

"Oh please tell me it's not our idiot." Manny groaned towards the sabers lowly.

Hazel looked up, hoping it wasn't, but the voice soon boomed out. She felt her heart drop completely in fear as she recognised that voice.

"Okay, I'm gonna jump on the count of three!!"
