A warm golden glow began to blanket the snowy landscape of the Ice Age, as the sun slowly cast its light over the horizon. The snow softly crunched under the foot/hoof steps of Quill Cast, Curtain Call, Atalanta, and Jon Snow. The four slowly traversed across the landscape, walking for what felt like hours. From the moment this journey began, they’ve been tracking the monstrous Wendigo they arrived to find. Thus far, their efforts have proved fruitless as they’ve yet to find the true source of its passage. No footprints, no blood trails, nothing to give them direction. Tracking this monster proved to be a very difficult task.
“How is it we’re not finding a trace of this thing?” Atalanta asked. “My changeling sense of smell could pick up a trail of any animal or creature from fifty miles away in any kind of weather.”
“The problem is that the thing we’re tracking is no animal,” Quill informed his fiancée. “It’s a supernatural creature with many unnatural abilities. Super quick, ungodly strong, and while you can smell it from fifty miles away, they can smell blood from hundreds of miles away. It’s a supreme killing machine and knows how to stay undetected.”
“That’s just in its mortal form,” Curtain Call pointed out.
“Then how are we supposed to find it?” Atalanta questioned further. “Are there any ways to even track it?”
“Only a few defining elements that could help us locate its possible location.”
“Like what?”
“When we first encountered the beast beyond the Wall, we were immediately overcome by a horrid smell,” Jon spoke up. “It was though we were surrounded by Death itself. Even though it was already freezing, you could feel the cold air dropping even further. Then there’s it’s deathly howl, you’ll never hear anything else like it in your life.”
Atalanta absorbed this knowledge and she had to admit, the more she heard about this beast the more nervous she grew. They had many dangerous beasts in Equestria, and thus far most of them paled in comparison to this monster.
“I’m surprised you survived facing it the first time,” Ata spoke amazed.
“So were we,” Quill chuckled. “But right now, we have a chance to finish it off once and for all.”
“Technically… there’s no real way to finish a Wendigo,” Curtain Call corrected. “A Wendigo’s skin is hard like armor. It can’t be cut, stabbed, or pierced by bullets. The only way to hold them at bay is fire, it makes their skin weak. We can’t finish off a Wendigo, only as a last resort, as death releases the Wendigo spirit. We merely need to capture its spirit before it is able to possess another living soul.”
“You sound like some pony who believes in Wendigo,” Atalanta nodded.
“Actually, no… well, not at first,” Curtain Call admitted. “Compared to my buddy, I’m a big skeptic when it comes to the supernatural. But that job in the Blackwood Mountains changes one’s perspective. If you think a regular Wendigo is bad, let’s hope the one we’re after is not the Makkapitew.”
“The Makkapitew?” Atalanta asked worriedly.
“The strongest of all the Wendigos, pretty much the Alpha of the whole race. The word alone means ‘One who has big teeth’ and is ‘the fiercest of them all’ according to the Native Americans. I’ve seen for myself what this monster could do… if this is the very Wendigo we’re hunting, it’ll take everything we got to get back alive.”
“Hopefully we’ll never have to worry about us or any pony else ending up as its dinner,” Quill spoke up.
Eventually, the group made their way to the top of a nearby hill that overlooked the valley beneath. There was a calm, gentle river flowing across the rocky gorge before transitioning into a massive waterfall that fell off the nearby cliffs. What they noticed most, however, was a tiny village composed of little huts and tents.
“Where are we, Jon?” Curtain asked curiously.
“Somewhere we can hold out for the night,” Jon replied. “I doubt very much we’ll find this monster tonight; it’s best we rest and begin our search in the morning.”
The rest of the group couldn’t help but admit Jon had a very good point. They’ve already searched in vain for the Wendigo all day with little success. But for Quill and Curtain, there were other reasons not to track a Wendigo when nightfall descended.
“Are you sure we’re welcome here?” Atalanta asked.
“Of course,” Jon nodded. “I’ve known the tribes people since I was banished to this world. They don’t say much, but they’ve been kind to me. We trade often and they’ve let me stay if I’m in need. Come, I’ll introduce you to them.”
Jon made his way down the hill towards the village and the others proceeded to follow after him. Soon enough, they were walking straight through the village and all the tribes people, the Neanderthals, looked at them as they walked by. Many of them thought it strange seeing two ponies and a changeling walking through their midst, especially since ‘one’ creature was one they never saw before. However, upon seeing Jon Snow leading them through, that alone put them at ease. Eventually, the group stopped at the largest tent as a man exited first followed by a woman holding a baby. Jon stared at the man right in the eyes, gave a small bow of his head, and proceeded t speak to him through a combination of dialogue and sign language.
“Runar,” He greeted.
The man gave a small nod of his head, before Jon turned back to his group.
“This is Runar, chief of this tribe,” Jon introduced. “That’s his wife Nadia and their son, Roshan.”
Quill, Curtain, and Atalanta looked toward the people and, since they lacked the appendages for fingerspelling and sign gestures, they bowed their heads in respect.
“Pleasure to meet you,” Quill greeted kindly. “I am Quill Cast, this is my best friend Curtain Call, and my fiancé Atalanta.”
“Hello!” Atalanta waved.
“Sup?” Curtain Call greeted casually.
Just as Jon said, these tribes people didn’t speak in response but merely grunted with a nod of their heads. At least to acknowledge their introductions before turning back toward the young man.
“We seek shelter for the night, Runar,” Jon informed the chief.
The chief silently studied the group up and down before putting on a small smile and gave a nod of his head. They took this as his approval to stay.
“Thank you,” Jon signed.
Jon proceeded to lead his group to a nearby tent that would serve as shelter for the night. Turning back, the group noticed Nadia putting little Roshan on the ground allowing the little one to try walking to his father. He managed a step or two before toppling over, thankfully into his father’s waiting grasp. Both Runar and Nadai smiled happily at their son’s valiant effort, but he still had much to practice with walking.
“Aww, isn’t that cute?” Quill asked, smiling at Atalanta. “Hopefully one day, we’ll have a moment like that with a young one of our own. Right now, Cotton Swirl is all we need.”
“Don’t worry, honey,” Atalanta smiled back. “One day we’ll have lots of children and we’ll get to watch them grow.”
“All right, lovebirds,” Curtain Call chuckled. “It’s a bit early to be talking about that kind of stuff, ain’t it?”
“Like you’ve never talked about the same thing with your girlfriends?” Quill joked.
“Quill, I never get held down by any pony. I’m a free spirit on an infinite quest for free rides through the multiverse, the calico cats, and Doritos… but mostly the cats.”
“… Lemme guess: Your last girlfriend broke up with you and kicked you out, didn’t she?”
“HEY! What happened last week wasn’t my fault! We just uh… um…”
Curtain Call briefly eyed the little baby neanderthal before turning back to Quill.
“I’d rather not talk about it in front of children,” Curtain Call whispered.
As the two went back and forth, Jon Snow turned his attention toward a nearby pack of domesticated wolves just outside one of the tents. At that moment, the wolves were laying outside, enjoying some relaxation. Suddenly, the ears of all the wolves perked up at once and they stood on all fours, staring toward the stream. All the other tribes people looked toward the wolves’ gaze, as did the rest of the group.
Standing at the edge of the stream was a wolf far larger than any wolf that ever lived. But this was no ordinary wolf at all, this was a Direwolf. It stood on all four legs the size of a large lion with fur as white as snow but eyes red as blood.
The giant wolf slowly walked forward, away from the stream and into the camp. The tribes people took a step back as they watched the wolf slowly walk through the camp. The other wolves in the tribe seemingly knelt down almost in submission to this monstrous wolf. The wolf walked right up toward Jon Snow and the young man knelt on one knee to look the creature right in its blood eyes. A small smile made its way to his face as he reached out and rubbed the wolf’s ears.
“Good to see you, Ghost,” Jon said. “I trust you’ve been keeping out of trouble.”
The direwolf gave a satisfied whine as Jon Snow scratched his ears. While this went on, the remainder of the tribes people quickly returned to their activities. None of them took notice of two large animals staring down at them from the cliffs above.

High upon a cliff overlooking the valley and the village, two saber-toothed tigers a.k.a. Smilodon looked down at the village below. The slightly larger one with the dark orange fur was Soto, the leader of the saber-toothed pack, scanning the grounds with his green eyes. The other was his second-in-command, Diego. The two looked down toward the village, eyeing the tribe and their daily business. But what they focused on most was Runar, Nadia, and especially Roshan.
“Aww look at the cute little baby, Diego,” Soto spoke sinisterly. “Isn’t it nice he’ll be joining us for breakfast?”
“It wouldn’t be breakfast without him,” Diego responded casually.
“Especially since his daddy wiped out half our pack,” Soto growled vengefully. “They wear our skin to keep warm. An eye for an eye, don’t you think?”
“Then let’s show that human what happens when he messes with sabers,” Diego growled in agreement.
“Alert the troops!” Soto commanded. “We attack at dawn.”
Diego nodded his head, starting to walk away and carry out the orders he received.
“And Diego…”
Diego slowly turned his head toward Soto, the latter’s back towards him and his gaze keeping track of the tribe below.
“Bring me that baby… alive,” Soto added. “If I’m going to enjoy my revenge, I want it to be fresh.”
With that, Diego continued his way toward the remainder of their pack so they could proceed to execute their leader’s orders.
<>
Speaking of the pack itself, they were gathered along a clearing just a few miles away from the village. Carcasses and bones of their previous kills littered the ground as three members of the pack lay in wait for the others to return. Two of them had light brown fur, while one’s was grayish brown. All three had hazel eyes. There were two Smilodon in the pack, one small and seemingly overactive and the other slightly taller. The other was technically a Homotherium, and much more rotund compared to the others. They were all that remained of the pack: Zeke, Oscar, and Lenny respectfully.
“Humans…” Oscar grumbled. “When is Soto gonna get over his obsession with humans?”
“We could be hitting that migration that just went south,” Lenny added.
“O-O-O-O-Oh don’t even talk about it,” Zeke shuddered. “It makes my teeth itch!”
“Listen up!”
The pack went silent the moment Diego made his approach before them.
“We attack the humans at dawn!” Diego announced.
“Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho, see?!” Zeke giggled maniacally. “Yeah! Right! There! Now! That’s just—that’s just—what we’re saying!”
“What about that walking buffet heading south?” Lenny whined.
“You’ll be walking buffet if you don’t do what Soto says!” Diego scolded.
“Then let’s get the orders from Soto,” Oscar replied casually. “Why do we have to hear it from you?”
“Because Diego’s the only one I trust!”
All heads quickly turned as Soto loomed over them, the pack leader having just returned after scanning the village grounds and wasn’t appreciating what the pack was saying.
“You mangy pack of worthless kittens,” Soto growled. “Those humans are heading back to Glacier Pass. This is our chance to send them a message they won’t forget. Does everyone understand?”
“Yes, yes, send your message, have your revenge,” Zeke answered quickly. “Please, whatever you want—”
BONK!
Soto threw one paw against Zeke’s head and the tiny Smilodon immediately zipped his lips.
“Get some rest!” Soto instructed the pack. “Diego will give you your marching orders at dawn.”
Soto proceeded to march away, leaving the remainder of the pack under Diego’s watch. It was plain to see they weren’t exactly ‘thrilled’ with this assignment, but they were wise not to go against Soto’s orders. Meanwhile, Diego stood with determination knowing that he carried a great weight of responsibility on his shoulders. Tomorrow, every part of the plan had to go accordingly or else everything they’ve planned for this moment will be all for nothing.

Later that day, the sun was finally starting to set over the horizon until only a faint glow remained. On the other side of the valley, the Mane Six, along with Spike, Gabby and Gilda were putting up their own shelters for the night. Twilight Sparkle and Rarity proceeded to use their magic to conjure up a few tents to provide a comfortable place for their friends to sleep.
“Ah, there we are!” Rarity sighed with satisfaction. ‘These should keep up warm and dry in these frigid conditions.”
“Brrrr!” Gabby shivered, wrapping her arms around herself. “I sure hope so, Rarity. “The winters back home have nothing on this place.”
“I’m not surprised,” Twilight responded. “From what I’ve read on the Ice Age, it was thought that at least 30% of the Earth was completely covered in ice. In addition, a zone of permafrost stretched southward from the edge of…”
Twilight Sparkle screamed and clutched her ringing ears as a loud horn made every pony jump and yell in shock. All eyes turned towards Gilda, who held what resembled an air horn in her claw right next to Twilight’s ear drums. She gave a mocking blow to the tip before putting the air horn behind her back.
“What was that for?!” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Couldn’t stand the airhead chatter,” Gilda grumbled. “Don’t lie and say you actually enjoy it.
“But an air horn in the ear?!”
“She should be grateful I didn’t hit her with a shovel.”
Pinkie Pie quickly ran over and helped Twilight off the ground. The poor pony princess still clutched her ears, as the ringing continued.
“I can still hear it!” Twilight grimaced with pain.
“Are you okay, Twilight?” Pinkie asked worriedly.
For some reason, Pinkie’s speaking made Twilight twitch and cry out.
“Stop yelling!” She pleaded.
“I’m not yelling,” Pinkie voiced confusion.
But once again, Twilight twitched and cried out.
“Why would you say I’m yelling?” Pinkie asked.
Again, more twitching…
“THIS IS YELLING!!!”
This made Twilight Sparkle cry out once more as she toppled over once more, clutching her ears so hard one would think she’d cave in her whole head. Rainbow Dash watched the scene for a moment, before turning toward her griffin friend with her hooves crossed.
“That was a real jerk thing to do, Gil,” Rainbow frowned.
“Well yeah, that’s my whole thing Dash,” Gilda rolled her eyes. “You think you’d know a griffon by now.”
Eventually, Twilight Sparkle could sigh with relief once the ringing in her head finally stopped. No longer did everything sound as though her whole ears could explode. When she finally got back to her hooves, Spike came over to ensure she was alright.
“Are you okay, Twi?” Spike asked her. “Everything sounding normal?”
“I think so,” Twilight shook her head. “Just need to let my hearing come back a little more but I’m alright.”
“That’s good,” Spike sighed in relief. “The last thing we need right now is a ‘Twilight Sparkle Going Deaf’ on us. Not sure how that would work.”
Glad to see his sister-figure was alright, Spike quickly glanced to the side and noticed that the remainder of the group had just finished setting up camp. He grabbed Twilight’s hoof and started leading her away.
“Spike, what are you doing?” Twilight asked him.
“I just need to speak with you alone for a second,” Spike replied.
“Alone?” Twilight repeated curiously. “Why? Is something wrong? Have you been having those headaches again?”
Eventually, Spike led them far enough where he could feel comfortable enough to stop.
“No, nothing like that,” Spike assured her. “I just needed to speak to you about something important. After all, ever since I hatched, you’ve been like a big sister to me for the longest time.”
“Aw, Spike,” Twilight smiled happily. “I feel the same about you. You are the little sibling I never had. Is that all you wanted to talk about?”
“Thanks, Twi,” Spike smiled back. “But no… that’s not what I wanted to talk about. It’s about me… and Gabby.”
This made Twilight tilt her head to the side while raising a curious eyebrow.
“What do you mean?” She asked.
“Well as you know, I was hoping for me and Gabby to end up in a nice tropical place instead of this frozen tundra,” Spike replied, voicing disappointment.
“I know Spike,” Twilight sighed. “I’m really sorry about that.”
“It’s alright,” Spike shrugged. “I mean it’s not the ideal place, but that’s not important. All that matters to me is that I need the perfect time.”
“Perfect time for what?”
Spike looked around once more, making sure they were truly alone before reaching behind is back.
“I want to show you something,” Spike whispered excitedly.
Pulling something from behind his back, Spike opened his claw to reveal a scarlet velvet box. Reaching out with his other claw, he slowly opened it to reveal a bright shiny diamond ring sitting inside. The moment her eyes landed on the ring, Twilight’s hoof shot to her mouth and tears came to her eyes.
“Are—are you--?”
“Yeah,” Spike nodded. “I’m asking Gabby to marry me.”
No longer able to contain her excitement, Twilight Sparkle used her momentum in her wings to lunge forward and wrap her arms around Spike. The dragon chuckled at this and placed his arms around her as well.
“I’m so happy for you, Spike,” Twilight sighed happily. “I promise it’ll be our little secret.”
“Thanks Twi,” Spike answered. “I really appreciate that.”
“She’s going to love it. I just know it.”
Eventually, once Spike and Twilight finally separated, the dragon and the pony proceeded to regroup with their friends. By the time they got back, Manny and Sid had just returned with their supplies for their own shelter. Manny was carrying a ton of logs with those giant tusks of his. Sid, on the other hand, merely dragged… one simple stick. The way the sloth was acting that one stick seemed to weigh a ton.
“Hey, Manny!” Twilight called out. “Need any help with those logs?”
“No!” Manny answered, walking by.
“My, ain’t he a ray of sunshine,” Applejack shook her head.
“Oh… hu… phew!” Sid gasped, slowing down. “Boy, I’m wiped out.”
“Uh… that’s your shelter, Sid?” Spike raised an eyebrow.
“Hey, Manny’s a big guy,” Sid argued. “He got a lotta wood. I’m a little guy.”
“You got half a stick,” Applejack pointed out.
“Sorry dude, but there’s no way you can build a shelter with just one stick,” Rainbow Dash agreed.
“Yeah, but with my little stick and my highly evolved brain—OW!” Sid poked his eye. “I shall create fire.”
“Fascinating,” Manny replied.
“Now this I’d like to see,” Rainbow Dash replied.
“Well, I’m not one to discourage any ideas,” Rarity voiced concern. “But I truly hope you put enough thought over this, darling.”
“We’ll see if brains triumph over brawn tonight,” Sid declared, snapping the stick in half. “Now, won’t we?”
<>
BOOM!!!
It was dead at night and the rain was pouring down hard, all while lightning pierced the sky followed by the booming thunder. Poor Sid sat on the ground floor, soaking wet and chilled to the bone. But the sloth stubbornly stuck to the task of making fire, rubbing his sticks slowly. By now, all the others were watching from the comfort of their shelters.
“Hey, I think I saw a spark,” Manny spoke up.
“Really?! Where?!” Pinkie peeked out. “Aw… did I miss it?”
Sid looked down… but there was no fire. Sid turned toward the other tents where all the ponies, even their griffon and dragon friends were occupying. It was carefully arranged so Twilight shared one tent with Spike and Fluttershy; Pinkie, Rarity, and Gabby bunked in another; and finally, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Gilda shared the very last tent. Eventually, Sid gave up, tossed the wet stick pieces aside and approached Manny’s shelter.
“Uh, any chance I could squeeze in there with you, Manny, ol’ pal?” Sid asked feebly.
“Isn’t there someone else you can annoy?” Manny asked. “Friends, family… poisonous reptiles?”
“Ah, well my family abandoned me.”
“I still can’t imagine why they would do that,” Fluttershy voiced sympathy.
“Well, they’d rather migrate without me. You should’ve seen what they did last year.”
“I’m scared to ask, but… what happened last year?” Spike asked nervously.
“I mean they woke up early, and quietly tied up my hands and feet, and gagged me with a field mouse, and barricaded the cave door, covered their tracks, traveled through water so I’d lose their scent, and… and… who needs ‘em anyway?”
During that whole lengthy explanation, the Equestrians watched as Sid attempted to make himself comfortable using one of Manny’s tusks as a bed, even latching onto his trunk as a blanket of sorts. Sid was just starting to sleep, but Manny would have none of it. He lifted Sid off his trunk and hurled him back out in the rain.
“So, what about you guys, you got a family?” Sid asked.
But Manny just looked at Sid, and it was rather difficult for Sid to read the sour expression on his face. Silently, he turned around, adjusting himself till his rear was facing Sid before going to sleep. The Equestrians determined it wouldn’t be best to question the mammoth’s actions, especially given the dismal conditions.
“It’s very late, Sid,” Twilight Sparkle yawned. “We got a long trip ahead and we need all the rest we can get. We’ll talk in the morning.”
“Yeah… social interaction,” Gilda replied sarcastically.
Soon all the other Equestrians prepared to rest, as they dug their way deep into their tents. That left Sid as the only one awake.
“Okay, you’re all tired, I see,” Sid replied, taking the hint. “We’ll talk in the morning.”
For Sid, being left out in the rain would’ve been somewhat tolerable… if not for all the hail suddenly raining down from the night sky.
“OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!” Sid yelped, pelted with hail. “Uh, Manfred, Manfred? Could you scooch over a drop? Oh, come on, nobody falls asleep that fast! MANNY!!!”
But it was plain to see that Manny was not waking up at any time… that or he was intentionally ignoring the sloth hoping he’d take a hint. Not wanting to wake the others, Sid decided to use Manny’s tail as a shelter at least until the rain and hail eventually stopped. But this didn’t go unnoticed…
“Ahem!”
The sound of someone clearing their throat drew Sid to look toward Twilight’s tent. Spike’s head peeked out from the tent, seeing Sid in such a pathetic state. Shaking his head, as if understanding Sid’s position, he gestured with a few head tilts and a small smile. Without saying a word, Sid waddled his way through the rain and hail proceeding to enter the tent, as Sid sealed the tent opening.
Unbeknownst to any of the sleeping group, along a nearby tree, Scrat was trying to push his acorn to the very top. It was true the rain was making it difficult for the little squirrel to climb, especially with the acorn atop his head. He even had to stop and pant a few times as he pushed himself along the tree. At one point, his acorn nearly slipped off his head and the squirrel quickly caught it with the tip of his nose before grasping it with his teeth. Even after all that, Scrat wasn’t giving up.
Balancing his acorn along the top of his face, the little devil pushed his way to the highest point of the tree. Finally, he reached the very top and stood stall as he tapped the hollowed out treetop with his foot. Thinking he’d found the perfect place to store his acorn for winter, he raised it up high ready to plunge it into the tree.
BOOM!!!
A bolt of lightning struck the poor squirrel where he stood. Now he was basically burnt crisp on the spot. He stood there, frozen in electrical shock, as the acorn popped up in the air and fell back down the tree. The little squirrel gave a small whimper, both from the electrocution… and the pain of losing his acorn… again.
The acorn fell to the bottom of the tree, almost instantly crushed under the weight of a large foot. The foot was ashen white, looking as though it were decaying and mutated. The foot reached upward to a set of long, lanky, white, decaying legs, a hollow torso, very long arms with huge claws on each end, and all the way to an ashen hollow face with razor sharp teeth in the mouth. A pair of milky eyes peered through the brush toward the sleeping creatures in the valley below.
It hungered… oh, how it hungered…
Whoa! Things just got even more suspense.

You can say that again, things are going to get VERY suspense indeed
Every time I look at Diego in the first movie and then how much change he's gone through in the sequels it really impresses me to see how a sabertooth-cat could go from a predator in a pack to a loving loyal member of a herd of so many other creatures. And I hope Spike finds the right moment to propose to Gabby without interruptions.
Aww, that was very nice of Spike for letting Sid inside the tent, even though he's a klutz. Also, I know that Spike will make Gabby very happy.
What...is...that?!
The attack is about to begin...the suspense grows!
11699921
That, would be a Wendigo. From the Until Dawn Horror game
For those who have seen this movie twenty something years ago, there's really no surprise as far as what was going to occur during this part of the movie. We are introduced to the Neanderthals and a devious plot by the Smilodon plotting to attack the humans by attacking the very heart of their tribe (By which I mean the only woman and child in the whole group) ... though we do add some lines from a deleted scene that was barely animated. All the while, we also know that we see how Manny and Sid barely tolerate each other's presence to the point Manny utterly refuses not to provide Sid enough space for shelter despite the fact Sid barely contributed in gathering enough supplies for his own place of living (Insisting he could make fire... during a rainstorm).
However, it's what happens in between all of these events where the biggest surprise lays in store for the fans. One taking place with a group outside of the Equestrians, and their pursuit of a monster... and we the audience are granted a glimpse as to what they are up against and how dangerous a being it truly is. And we haven't even seen it in action just yet.
To think Zeke is voiced by Jack Black and Diego is voiced by the same guy who played Francis the ladybug in A Bug's Life.

Yes. No interruptions. Not mentioning names. Rarity.

Discord's Theatre, Galaxy Branch
Byph: Whoa, what are they?
Postwar: Those are prehistoric humans.
Sunset Shimmer: Back then when humanity was slowly evolving, they go through certain ages. In this one, they hunt and make tents like that for their villages, as well as making warm clothing to survive.
Ahsoka Tano: Fascinating. I had never imagined that something like this would be possible. Then again my master did once meet the natives called the Talls near the planet of Pantora.
Katochi: Wow, someone is holding a grudge.
Zatt: You would too if someone were to come and make clothes out of you. Even Gungi and the other Wookiees would do the same if someone did that. *Gungi growled in agreement*
Postwar: And vengeance can darken one's soul, as we all had learned the hard way long ago.
Sunset Shimmer: I know what you mean.
Petro: They'd really go that far to kill a kid?
Postwar: That's what an animal does. They kill without reason or out of instinct. Such is the cruel way of nature.
Sunset Shimmer: Agreed. Nature can sometimes be kind, but it can also be very cruel
Ganodi: Looks like someone doesn't like the idea of going through with the plan.
Cal Kestis: Not everyone shares the same vision as the others, otherwise it will cause your downfall.
Galen Marek: I know what you mean, and I speak from experience.
Postwar: That is...*smirks* If fate doesn't have anything to say about it.
Sunset Shimmer: *Looks at him with a flexed eyebrow* You know something, don't you?
Postwar: Again, not allowed to say it.
Galen Marek: Is there anything that you're also not allowed to say?
Postwar: When are you and Sunset having kids? *The latter does a spittake by hearing that*
Sunset Shimmer: Ugh, seriously Gilda?!
Postwar: Kind of like you on a good day. *Gets a glare from Sunset* Do I have to remind you of how you were before the Fall Formal? *Winces at that and shook her head*
Ahsoka Tano: She really needs help.
Postwar: What did you think they'd try to do for the past ten years?
Postwar: Be glad I didn't put you in the oven little miss glorified pidgeon.
Galen Marek: In a strange way, I want to too.
Cal Kestis: Ditto.
Sunset Shimmer: Agreed.
Postwar: Urge to hate and punch that chicken...rising.
Sunset Shimmer: Down boy.
Postwar: *smirks* Hi ho Sunset, away!!
Sunset Shimmer: *neighs like a horse loudly, then clasped her mouth shut in embarrassment, which shocked and surprised the others at the same time*
Sunset Shimmer: Oh yeah, they haven't talked or shown that for a while now.
Byph: Do you think they did something about it?
Postwar: Don't know, they didn't say much. Plus I'm a bit out of the loop these days.
Some gasped at the sight:
Sunset Shimmer: No way, *squeals in excitement* Good for Spike!!
Postwar: This ought to be good.
Ganodi: Aw, Spike's growing up so fast.
Katochi: I can just picture what their wedding would be like.
Postwar was deep in thought and thought about something as well.
Cal Kestis: One hundred Credits if things go bad.
Galen Marek: Deal.
Postwar: I got a better Idea. A thousand credits that things will go bad and it will rain at the same time.
Guys: Deal.
Zatt: Aw, poor guy. *Gungi growls in agreement*
Ganodi: Can't seems to catch a break.
Postwar smiles as he had just won a thousand credits whilst Cal and Galen were grumbling at the same time.
Byph: At least the Princess offered him shelter.
Postwar: Though I hope he doesn't do anything stupid. That's like sleeping with a porcupine and he pricks you the moment he stretches.
Sunset Shimmer: *smirks* speaking from experience?
Postwar: I don't wanna talk about it.
Everyone laughs at the squirrel's predicament, for him trying to store his nut, and always backfiring on him, it always brought out a ton of laughs.
Everyone was shocked and surprised.
Sunset Shimmer: Uh...wh...what is that?
Postwar: I don't know, but it can't be good. *Picks up a phone and calls his bosses and colleagues* Guys, it's me. We got a situation. Unknown entity arriving in universe. I'm sending you a picture on what it looks like. Be on the lookout for it at all costs.
Wow, that was something. And uh oh, what the heck was that thing that appeared from out of nowhere. Oh boy, what else will await them in the future.
Bad news: We've got wendigo problems.
Good news: Spike's got a ring. And he's going to propose it to Gabby! I'm so proud of him.
I always knew Spike and Gabby would make a happy couple after watching Dragon Dropped. Hopefully, Spike can find the right time to propose the ring to his griffon. And hoping a certain marshmallow doesn't ruin it again like last time.
Random Dude: "You still haven't let go of that, Doc? It's been what? 4 years now! Let that grudge go already, man! You're killing the mood! And besides, Rarity's got a husband now. AND a daughter. Why would she need to steal Spike again?"
Me: "A lot can happen, even in a seemingly healthy happy marriage. Like Rarity could see Spike's ring and gets greedy again to steal the jewel – like she did with his Fire Ruby – WHICH she has YET to return, after her marriage to Erik..."
Random Dude: "...Uh, technically, it wasn't stolen. Spike gave it to her."
Me: "...And your point is?"
(giggles) Poor Scrat
The acorn fell to the bottom of the tree, almost instantly crushed under the weight of a large foot. The foot was ashen white, looking as though it were decaying and mutated. The foot reached upward to a set of long, lanky, white, decaying legs, a hollow torso, very long arms with huge claws on each end, and all the way to an ashen hollow face with razor sharp teeth in the mouth. A pair of milky eyes peered through the brush toward the sleeping creatures in the valley below.
It hungered… oh, how it hungered…

Yeah, No kidding! Remember when gamers played Until Dawn like Markiplier, JackSepticEye, MatPat, KSI or PewDiePie?
Me Too!
11699958
That was the Wendigo
11699982
Oooh, so that's what an actual Wendigo looks like. Now I know.
11699952
Oh yeah, that’s insane, isn’t it. Jack Black is quite a natural voice actor these days.
11699958
Me: (Sees the picture) "Oh no..." (To Bon-Bon and Lyra Heartstrings) "Girls...Uh, we got another one... Better call your bosses at S.M.I.L.E!"
Later
S.M.I.L.E Agent: "You saw a WHAT?!"
Bon-Bon: "A wendigo, sir! With an 'E'! Apparently, this one was spotted in this new world our friends have gone to via the Magic TV!"
S.M.I.L.E Agent: "That confirms the reports we've been getting here at HQ!"
Bon-Bon: "It would?"
S.M.I.L.E. Agent: "Absolutely! It all happened after the Equestrian Heroes returned with Carrie White. We've been getting reports of strange animal behaviors that were spiking up, as of late. And the confirmation of a Wendigo has checked it all out."
Lyra Heartstring: "Uh, quick question: What exactly is a wendigo?"
S.M.I.L.E. Agent: "Long story short, Agent Heartstring. A wendigo is a dangerous malevolent entity that is the result of an ancient curse, born from insatiable hunger. They'll eat anything alive, which passes on the curse from one victim to the next, creating even more wendigoes! And according to a legend, they even have the power to bring dead animals back to life to become their servants, and bring food to them! If this goes on any longer, the entire multiverses will be overrun with Predators!" See Pet Semetary by Stephen King.
Bon Bon: "If they're multiplying their numbers, and if they can bring dead animals back to life, then how do we stop them?"
Until dawn uh oh

Cinema: Hey Arctic look! It's our bosses!
Clarissa Bloom: Sounds scary...
Cinema: In Equestria, wendigos are real, and personally, anyone who dismisses their existence should be banished or locked up.
Cinema: Don't jinx it fool!
Cinema: Here are humans during the Ice Age, Inuit I believe.
Clarissa: How kind.
Cinema: Ah yes, sign language, a form of communication with natives.
Cinema: The latter is another main star, at least for this movie.
*Sonata and Clarissa's heart are touched by this loving family moment*
Cinema: "Indeed. I just started eating."
Cinema: Ooch!
Cinema: Yeah, who wouldn't love cats?
Cinema: That's harsh.
Cinema: Good call.
Sonata Dusk: What was he going to say?
Clarissa Bloom: Is that.... a direwolf?
11699957
11700016
Cinema: Meet Soto, our villain for this movie. Next to him is Diego, who funny enough is our third main character in the francise.
Sonata Dusk: B-B-B-Breakfast?...
Cinema: That's biblical!
Clarissa Bloom: *gasps*
Clarissa Bloom: This is bad.
Cinema: Menacing leader ya'll!
Cinema: *laughs like Muttly*
Sonata Dusk: I don't know if I should root for Diego...
11699957
11700021
Cinema: Camping 101!
“Ah, there we are!” Rarity sighed with satisfaction. ‘These should keep up warm and dry in these frigid conditions.”
“Brrrr!” Gabby shivered, wrapping her arms around herself. “I sure hope so, Rarity. “The winters back home have nothing on this place.”
Cinema: *holding ears* Ohow!
Cinema: No, we don't!
Cinema: *not impressed*
Cinema: GAH!
Cinema: One of these days, I'm going to pluck out all her feathers...
Cinema: Agreed.
Cinema: Here we go.
Cinema: Blame the pink one.
Cinema: He's gonna pop the question~
*As we watched the tender scene, Clarissa and I reached for a popcorn box between us, making our hands touch. We look to each other, then away, blushing*
Cinema: Really?
Sonata Dusk: No kidding.
Cinema: *with Applejack* "You got half a stick."
Cinema: *with Manny* Fascinating.
“Now this I’d like to see,” Rainbow Dash replied.
Cinema: Blasted storm.
Clarissa Bloom: Me neither.
Cinema: Anhow.
Cinema: Here it comes.
Sonata Dusk: What?
Clarissa Bloom: How kind of the Princess.
Cinema: Oh hey, it's Scrat!
It was true the rain was making it difficult for the little squirrel to climb, especially with the acorn atop his head. He even had to stop and pant a few times as he pushed himself along the tree. At one point, his acorn nearly slipped off his head and the squirrel quickly caught it with the tip of his nose before grasping it with his teeth. Even after all that, Scrat wasn’t giving up.
Cinema: *laughs out loud with Arctic*
Cinema: Ok guys.... set the terror level to code brown, cuse I need to change my pants.... *waddles off to the restroom*
YEA, YOU GO, BRO!!
Hmm... Quill Cast and Curtain Call mentioned a job in the Blackwood Mountains, they know about the Wendigo's weakness to fire, and the Makkapitew... if I recall my game events right, this Wendigo must be someone familiar. And now I'm wondering how many people Quill and Curtain were able to save. This has to be post-game.

Future G5
Discord Memorial Cinema
Me: How do you like that? A nice and simple adventure with enough stakes that it doesn’t leave me dead tired at the end.
Zipp: It’s a nice and relaxed pace. Good to have it once in a while.
Izzy: I’ve never seen so much icy snow in one place.
Sunny: I wonder how Quill Cast and Curtain Call are doing. We haven't seen them since Jurassic Park.
Me: Hey, wait a second. (pulls up memo document; puts on reading-glasses) “There will in fact be a side mission with Quill Cast and crew that have an overall impact on the story.” Oh, shoot! We missed the first part. (puts away glasses and document; pulls out remote) This should change the channel. Let’s hope the Projector holds out.
I clicked the button on the remote, but instead of another spot in the Ice Age…
Misty: What the…?
Haven: This is a rather…interesting scene.
Me: (worried) N-now wait a minute: this has nothing to do with the movie. Let me try again. (clicks button)
Pipp: Uh…that was unexpected.
Me: Dah! Stupid machine’s acting up. (angrily pushes button)
I actually lowered the remote for a spell as the video played. For some reason, I became hooked on what was accidentally put on screen.
Zipp: Now that’s kickass.
Me: Alright, this time it should work.
Me: (sighs) Aright, finally!
Sunny: Yes, there they are! And they’re with some friends.
Me: Well, there’s Atalanta, Quill’s fiance.
Pipp: Whoo! Go girl!
Me: And the other guy’s Jon Snow. He’s from the same world as Cersei, Westeros, and that’s all I really know. How he got here is beyond me.
Zipp: What are they hunting?
Me: Monster of folklore, I’ll bet.
Me: Wow.
Me: Oh, a Wendigo.
Sunny: Why are they hunting a Windigo?
Me: No, it’s Wendigo not Windigo; they’re two different monsters.
Sunny: Really? My dad never told me about Wendigos.
Me: Even if he did know about them, you’re lucky he never told you. From what I’ve heard, they’re virtually indestructible and feed on the flesh of any living creature.
Zipp: …wow.
Misty: They…they sound scary.
Me: If you ask me, humans are the masters at embellishing the horror in everything. It’s really amazing.
Me: Yeah, I’ve never heard of this one either.
Me: Oh…where is that word based? Slavic European?
Sunny: Oh, no! That sounds dangerous!
Izzy: My view on pies has officially changed after the last movie!
Me: Wait, he was banished? How did that happen?
Sunny: Usually, banishment means they did something very wrong and hurt a lot of po—people.
Me: That’s the thing; Jon’s considered to be the all around hero.
Zipp: He is?
Me: Yeah.
Pipp: He’s quite handsome.
Me: So that begs the question: who the hell banished him to this of all movies? Bill Cipher? (pauses) Actually, that kinda makes sense.
Sunny, Izzy, & Pipp: Aww!
Hitch: Aw, he looks adorable! (hugs a happy Sparky)
Tinny: I’m actually not terrified by this baby.
Red: (thoughts) Are you sure?
Tinny: …actually, I take that back. I’m sort of scared.
Zipp: These must be the Neanderthals! The early ancestors of the human race!
Me: Actually, that was a disproven myth: Neanderthals were really a separate race to humans. A subrace. They’ve since gone extinct; no knows why. It was eons ago.
Zipp: What? Aw, c’mon!
Me: Really? They’re adoptive parents now? Hmm…good on them, I say.
Hitch: (smiles proudly) I can relate.
Red: (thoughts) The joy of children is an interesting feeling.
Hitch: Yeah. Even looking after one kid is hard as it is.
Me: I don’t get why some couples just casually talk about having a plethora of kids. It weirds me out.
Me: Oof, I’d imagine that’d be painful.
Me: What in the world?
Sunny: (gasps) It’s a wolf! I-I thought they were a myth!
Me: Since when do wolves have red eyes?
Me: Huh. That’s adorable.
Izzy: He looks like a big fluffy pillow!
Zipp: He looks like Cloudpuff after a growth spurt.
Cloudpuff huffed indignantly while laughter was heard.
Haven: Oh, it’s alright, Puffy. She didn’t mean to insult you in any way! You know that.
Sunny: Wait, what?
Zipp: Uh oh. This went from zero to eleven in no time.
Me: And here we meet our third main protagonist and the main antagonist. Diego and Soto respectively.
Hitch: (pale) Is he gonna…?!
Tinny: How dare he!
Red: (thoughts) That is scary.
Sunny: No!
Zipp: You’re telling me that guy’s our third main character?
Izzy: Oh, oh! Maybe he has a redemption arc!
Misty: Uh…y-yeah, maybe that’s it.
Hitch: I’m starting to be reminded of Sweeney Todd.
Sunny: What’s his deal with the humans anyway?
Me: One of those guys is voiced by Jack Black. Who it is, I can’t tell.
Me: Yeah, seriously. You’re missing out on an opportunity with the migration.
Sunny: Hey!
Me: That’s nature, Sunny.
Me: Do you think the Order watches the movies that are featured as well?
Sunny: I hope not.
Zipp: I…yeah, I agree.
Me: Okay.
Red: (thoughts) This obsession…I don’t like the feeling of it.
Zipp: Again! Where are my earplugs?!
Sunny: That wasn’t very nice!
Tinny: The absolute nerve of her!
Sunny: Poor Princess Twilight!
Zipp: Well, pony ears are more sensitive to sound compared to others.
Red: (thoughts) I somehow heard the noise; I didn’t like it.
Me: I have a good mind to jump through the screen and strangle her. You’re giving us griffons a bad rep, Gilda.
Haven: I remember the last time I went deaf from Pipp’s concert. We had to replace the entire sound system in an entire month.
Alphabittle: Should I feel lucky that I’ve never seen a concert like that?
Haven: Well…maybe. I suppose concerts are not for everypony.
Sunny & Pipp: Aww!
Sunny: That’s so awesome!
Izzy: EEH!! THEIR SPARKLE IS SO CUTE!!!
Pipp: (sings) O~ho~, yeah~!
Hitch: That’s great! But, uh…
Zipp: Isn’t this a little too fast?
Me: (shrugs) I don’t know how much time has passed. What I do know is that they entered a relationship sometime before Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek’s imprisonment.
Hitch: I feel embarrassed.
Sunny: Remember that time you made an entire tent out of dead tree branches?
Hitch: Oh, yeah! And I used the rope I brought to hold them together.
Izzy: (gasps) You never told me you could unicycle!
Hitch: I…didn’t really think of it that way, but I guess you’re right.
Zipp: That’s really cool, dude.
Hitch: Thanks! Though I’ve always wanted to go glamping.
Zipp: Wait, wait, wait…let me guess: he’s gonna be left out in the rain, won’t he?
Zipp: Called it.
Red: (thoughts) Left out in the rain is a very sad sight.
Pipp: That is just sad.
Hitch: Do we really want to know?
Sunny: It’ll be amazing!
Me: Oh, that is so unlucky. And coming from Minnesota, that’s saying something.
Izzy: Come on, little prehistoric squirrel. You can do it!
Zipp: Remind me again why are we watching this?
Pipp: Ooh…that’s gotta be painful.
Hitch: I’m surprised he’s not more injured than he should be.
Tinny: I don’t ever want to think about lighting. It scares me so badly!
Red: (thoughts) If the garbage did not claim me, then the lightning surely would have.
Me: What…the actual hell?
Sunny: What is that?!
Me: I have no sodding clue. (sighs) And here I was hoping for a simple in and out adventure. (deadpan) Curse you overarching plot…
Oooohhhh no, its the windego from Until Dawn, its about to get bad

Canterlot Mall Theater
Cinema: Hey Arctic look! It's our bosses!
Flash Sentry: Those guys are your bosses? (He asked)
Arctic: (would nod his head) Yeah, they’re. Though, I wonder what they’re, doing there? (He asked to himself)
Clarissa Bloom: Sounds scary...
Sweetie Belle: V-Very scary…
Sonata Dusk: F-For Realsies…
Cinema: In Equestria, wendigos are real, and personally, anyone who dismisses their existence should be banished or locked up.
Arctic: Something, tells me, that the Wendigo they’re looking for isn’t, from Equestria, but.. I feel like I heard of another Wendigo from somewhere before.
Human! Sunset: Yeah, it sound’s so familiar for me as well…
Cinema: Don't jinx it fool!
Trixie: Why, must people jinx themselves like that! Now it could most likely happen!
Cinema: Here are humans during the Ice Age, Inuit I believe.
Clarissa: How kind.
Apple Bloom: Now, that’s mighty kind of him.
Cinema: Ah yes, sign language, a form of communication with natives.
Human! Sunset: And, to this day we have some, who speak through it as well.
Cinema: The latter is another main star, at least for this movie.
Human! Sunset: Really? Wonder what his role will be? (She said curiously)
*Sonata and Clarissa's heart are touched by this loving family moment*
Sweetie Belle: Awww~ that’s so adorable.
Arctic: Yeah, warms my heart seeing family moments like this.
Human! Sunset: (would smile happily at this as she started to blush a little bit thinking of having kids of her own someday with Postwar)
Cinema: "Indeed. I just started eating."
Scootaloo: Yeah, don’t think I can handle any of this mushy stuff if it keeps going.
Cinema: Ooch!
Arctic: Yikes!
Cinema: Yeah, who wouldn't love cats?
Apple Bloom: More of a dog person myself, though I guess it depends on the person.
Cinema: That's harsh.
Flash Sentry: Man, I feel bad for him.
Trixie: Trixie wonders what exactly happened?
Cinema: Good call.
Sonata Dusk: What was he going to say?
Arctic: I don’t know, but it must have been something really bad.
Human! Sunset: Everyone has something personal they wanna keep, we can’t force them to say what’s wrong, only if they feel ready to say what’s on their mind.
Clarissa Bloom: Is that.... a direwolf?
Scootaloo: That looks so cool!
Cinema: Meet Soto, our villain for this movie. Next to him is Diego, who funny enough is our third main character in the francise.
Sonata Dusk: B-B-B-Breakfast?...
Apple Bloom: T-They’re not I-implying what I think they’re implying… r-right? (She said worried)
Cinema: That's biblical!
Sweetie Belle: That’s horrible!
Sonata Dusk: Why would they do that to a baby?!
Clarissa Bloom: *gasps*
Scootaloo: I don’t like the sound of this…(she said worried)
Clarissa Bloom: This is bad.
Trixie: Trixie, agrees. The situation has gone really bad now…
Cinema: Menacing leader ya'll!
Sonata Dusk & CMC: (gets a little bit scared)
Cinema: *laughs like Muttly*
Arctic: (lets out a few chuckles himself)
Sonata Dusk: I don't know if I should root for Diego...
Trixie: Trixie agrees..
Flash Sentry: Yeah, so far.. the guy doesn’t really make a good first impression
Cinema: Camping 101!
Arctic: it’s always good to have those survivor skills, especially in moments like this.
Cinema: *holding ears* Ohow!
Arctic, Sonata and everyone else were holding their ears in pain
Cinema: No, we don't!
Arctic: Yeah! Why would anyone enjoy that!
Cinema: *not impressed*
Trixie: Trixie, starting to question her sense of humor…(she said annoyed)
Cinema: GAH!
Arctic: TO LOUD!
Trixie: (winced a bit) why would you do that!
Scootaloo: I think that made ears ring more!
Cinema: One of these days, I'm going to pluck out all her feathers...
Arctic: And I’ll freeze her in place, if she decides to keep this up…
Human! Sunset: How can anyone be this mean…especially to one her best friend’s friend?
Flash Sentry: Doesn’t sound like a true friend to me…
Sonata Dusk: Yeah! She should learn how to be nicer
Cinema: Agreed.
Sweetie Belle: Good thing that didn’t happen..
Apple Bloom: Eeyup, that was a close call
Cinema: Here we go.
Sonata Dusk: Wonder what he wants to bring up?
Cinema: Blame the pink one.
Arctic: We REALLY should put in safety measures for things like this, so it won’t happen again.
Cinema: He's gonna pop the question~
Sweetie Belle: (squeals, a little of excitement seeing this)
Arctic: They’re gonna make one happy married couple.
Sonata Dusk: Yeah! Totally! (She said with a smile)
*As we watched the tender scene, Clarissa and I reached for a popcorn box between us, making our hands touch. We look to each other, then away, blushing*
Sweetie Belle: (would notice this as she contends more of her excitement)
Cinema: Really?
Flash Sentry: Come on man, you can’t be that weak?
Trixie: Exactly! It’s just 1 simple stick!
Sonata Dusk: No kidding.
Apple Bloom: Eeyup.
Cinema: *with Applejack* "You got half a stick."
Scootaloo: Which you were having trouble with might I add.
Cinema: *with Manny* Fascinating.
Cinema: Blasted storm.
Sonata Dusk: Poor Sid, his gonna catch a cold
Trixie: Well, it his own fault
Arctic; Trixie!
Trixie: What? Is Trixie wrong about that?
Flash Sentry: Still, I think it’s already hard enough that he has to deal with this now.
Human! Sunset: Especially, what he has been through already.. his been having a rough time as is.
Clarissa Bloom: Me neither.
Everyone else nodded their heads in agreement
Cinema: Anhow.
Cinema: Here it comes.
Sonata Dusk: What?
Clarissa Bloom: How kind of the Princess.
Arctic: And that’s one of things we like about her.
Cinema: Oh hey, it's Scrat!
Flash Sentry: Seems like the little dude trying to find a place for his acorn still
Apple Bloom: In a middle of a storm? Seems dangerous
Scootaloo: Seems like he really is stubborn, but hey, maybe things won’t be so bad this time.
Arctic: (starts to laugh out loud)
Cinema: *laughs out loud with Arctic*
Scootaloo: Or… not.
Trixie: (letting out a few laughs of her own) Trixie admits, this is kinda funny
Almost everyone got terrified and scared seeing the creature
Cinema: Ok guys.... set the terror level to code brown, cuse I need to change my pants.... *waddles off to the restroom*
Sonata Dusk: W-What is that? (She said scared)
Arctic: That… that is a Wendigo
Trixie: That’s what your bosses are hunting?!
Human! Sunset: I knew that sounded, familiar. The situation, really is bad
Scootaloo: I.. think I need too, go too the bathroom as well. (Quickly runs towards the bathroom)
Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: Wait for us Scoots! (They yelled following her)
Trixie: Trixie… also needs to use the restroom. (She mentioned and followed the CMC)
Flash Sentry: I’ll… be back as well. (He said before he rushes out)
Sonata Dusk: (held onto Arctic arm a little bit tightly)
Arctic: (looked down at Sonata and comfort her a bit as he thinks to himself) Yeah, I can’t blame them for being scared of it, though… I worry and hope our bosses will be ok.

Okay. Okay. Fun time’s over for me.
I’m sorry for the delay. I’ve just been super depressed and…I’ll get to work on my commentary soon.
Meanwhile, back at Discord's Theater
I was in the projector room, working out all the devices that Pinkie Pie had nearly wrecked in her recent tampering with the system. Standing beside me are Rain Shine, Mina, Silver Shill, River Song, Isabelle, Krystal, and of course, Cotton Swirl.
Cotton Swirl: "Uncle Phantom-Dragon? Where are mom and dad? Will you find them for me?"
Me: (To Cotton Swirl) "In a moment, Cotton. I'm just about done repairing the equipments. Man, Pinkie Pie really did a number on these things! A-ha! Here we go! Everyone stand back."
Soon, the machines projected a separate display screen, allowing us to hone in on Quill Cast and his party's location.
Cotton Swirl: "Mommy! Daddy! Uncle Curtain Call!" (Sees Jon Snow) "Who is that guy?"
Me: "That's...Jon Snow? What's he doing with them?"
Cozy Swirl: "What are they looking for?"
Mina: (To Cozy Swirl) "We're about to find out. But it must be seriously Icy Blue if they're that on edge..."
Rain Shine: "Oh my! Can such a horrible creature even exist?"
Me: (To Rain Shine) "I'm afraid so, honey. There are still worse things than sirens, demon sorcerers, and death eaters out there..."
Me: "Ah. A Wendigo–" (Does a double-take) "Whoa, whoa, wait. Did he say a WENDIGO?!"
Silver Shill: "I think he meant 'Windigo.'"
Me: "No, no. Wendigo, with an 'e.' Demonic entities from Native American folklores from my world! These things are bad news!"
Cotton Swirl: "The Mak–What?"
Mina: "Okay. Are they just making up some fancy words on the spot?"
Krystal: "Unfortunately...no."
Rain Shine: (To me) "Honey? Are you okay? You look a little...pale there."
Cotton Swirl: "Oh no! Mommy! Daddy!"
Me: (To Cotton Swirl) "It's going to be okay, Cotton. They'll be fine. They're a tough bunch."
Mina: "And look! Looks like they're in a village."
Silver Shill: (To Cozy Swirl) "See. They're with friends! They're okay."
Cozy Swirl: "Hi Runar! Hi Nadia! Hi Roshan!"
Mina, Isabelle, Krystal, Rain Shine: "AWWWWWW!!!"
Mina: "He's so cute!"
Mina: "I guess they don't speak English. Do they?"
Me: "I think this is before humanity developed the language system back when."
Everyone watching: "Aww!!!"
Rain Shine: "Oh!" (Sees River Song squirming her hooves out for me) "Honey. I think River Song wants to reach you!"
Me: (I got down on my hoof at a short distance for her) "C'mon, River. C'mon, come to daddy."
Rain Shine gently sets our daughter down, who crawled across the floor on her wobbly hooves. Like Roshan, she nearly tripped, until I caught her.
Me: "Not bad sweetie! That's one more step than your first try! You're getting there."
Rain Shine walked up to me and we both nuzzled her noses together, exchanging our love.
Cotton Swirl: "Huh? I'm getting brothers and sisters?"
Me: (To Cotton Swirl) "Sounds about right. Is that alright with you, Cotton?"
Cotton Swirl: (To me) "Yes! I look forward to it! I've always wanted to have brothers and sisters!"
Silver Shill: "...What about cats?"
Cotton Swirl: "What's the matter with Uncle Curtain?"
Me: (To Cotton Swirl) "Best not to pry."
Mina: "Wow! That's the most beautiful wolf I've ever seen!"
Me: (To Mina) "That's no ordinary wolf, Mina. That's a Dire wolf! Basically, an ancestor of modern wolves of today."
Mina: "That's his pet?! THAT'S SO AWESOME!"
Me: "Yeah. He's beautiful alright. Kinda reminds me of Iris when I adopted her."
Rain Shine: (To me) "You just had to adopt a dinosaur, didn't you honey?"
Me: (To Rain Shine) "Hey now, it's not like I was begging to have a pet dinosaur, was it? She just happened to drop in, unexpectedly, like a frightened child, lost in a big world. I can't just leave her. Can I? And besides... She's getting along well with Peppermint and Blaze."
Krystal: "Indubitably! Iris is a strange dinosaur, but strangely, she's very attached to Peppermint and Blaze, as if she was a member of their pack. Which is saying a lot, because she's not a raptor...Nor do she looked like any dinosaurs in any records."
Cozy Swirl: "Speaking of which...I wonder how that hellhound Loona is? If I remember, she's currently holding the 24/7 Championship Belt. Right?"
Me: "Yeah. Poor girl. It's tough being the 24/7 Champion. It's a full-time job. You gotta keep moving, look over your shoulders every day of your life, which can really do a number of your mentality if you're very paranoid. Not to mention the Gold Fevers!" (Shuddering) "They give me the creeps with them squawking like seagulls!"
Cotton Swirl: (To me) "Then...why not just take the belt off and give it to someone who wants it so badly?"
Me: (To Cotton) "That's just it, Cotton. You can't just take the belt off and surrender it to someone. No thanks to Discord, it's been hexed with an unremovable spell that keeps it bound to the current holder. It can only be removed if someone catches you and holds you down until the count of 3! And sometimes, the Gold Fevers will go the extra milage to do more than just 'holding you down!'"
Silver Shill: (To me) "You mean like the time when someone poisoned Sonata's drink to paralyze her?"
Mina: "Or when Grubber set the tiger trap to catch her with tacos for bait?"
Krystal: (To me) "Or that one time when you accidentally become 24/7 Champion yourself?"
Me: "Don't remind me. But I feel bad for Loona. I wonder how she's doing right now."
Speak of the devil...
Loona: (Bursts in through the room) "HELP! SAVE ME!"
Everyone: "LOONA?!"
Me: "Hey! You can't be in here! Employees only!"
Silver Shill: "That's not stopping them!"
Cotton Swirl: "Uh...Why do I hear the sound of an approaching train?"
Mina: "Those are seagulls. Not train."
Me: (To Mina and Cotton) "You're both wrong! HERE COMES THE GOLD FEVERS! LOCK THE DOORS!"
Gold Fever: "MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!"

HEY! Loona! You can talk again!
Loona: "Huh? What?" (Checks her throat) "Whoa! You're right! I can talk again! Also...YIPE YIPE YIPE YIPE YIPE YIPE!!!" (Runs for her life)
...Perhaps pitching more Spike x Gabby romance will break me out of my...malaise...
"...malaise..."
Meanwhile, back at Discord's Theater
<<Previous
In the main theater
Thorax: "Hey! Is that Princess Atalanta?"
Pharynx: "Well, it certainly looks like her. But who are those guys?"
Capper Dapperpaws: "Nevermind them. Who, or what those cool cats with the big teeth?"
Time Turner: "Great wickering stallions! Those are Smilodons! Also known as saber-tooth tigers!"
Sugar Belle: "Oh my! They wouldn't!"
Big Mac: (To Sugar Belle) "I'm afraid they would...and they are honey..."
Mrs. Cake: "They're just as worst than Regina when she stole our children!"
Derick: (To Mrs. Cake) "Though, can you blame? Those Neanderthals did wiped out half of their packs, so... I'm not picking sides, but... I can kinda understand their leader's...fury."
Random Dude: "Yeah! Just forget about the humans man. Just...move on! Go after the herd that was migrating... Although, that still kinda sounds rather morbid. But you know what the say. Fishes gotta swim, birds got to eat."
Queen Novo: (To random dude) "I resent that remark..."
Big Mac: "Nope."
Princess Celestia: "Ooh. I hope Twilight and the others don't get caught in the crossfire of these beasts!"
She ain't the only one who was scared out of her mind.
Granny Smith: (Was snoring through the first minutes of the movie when the air horn scared her awake) "WAAAAA!!!!"
Random buffalo: (Wakes up) "I WANT MY BINKY!"
Crazy Steve: "WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?!"
Greta: (Sarcasm) "Thanks a lot, Gilda. I'll never have the hiccups again..."
Scootaloo: (Digging her ears) "Not cool!"
Grampa Gruff: "I'll give her the what for when she comes home!"
Shining Armor: "Pinkie Pie! Stop it! You're making it worse for Twily!"
Me: "Yeah. you think..." (Huffs)
After we had escaped from the gold fevers, my party and I slumped down on the floor, triumphant, but relieve to get away.
Mina: "I think we lost them!"
Cozy Swirl: "Wow! That was...fun! I've never felt so alive!"
Me: (To Cotton Swirl) "Let's not get too carried away, okay? If anything happens to you, then Quill Cast will have me fired...into a volcano, and fire me to the sun."
Silver Shill: (To me) "Didn't Rain Shine already do that to you?"
Rain Shine: "What? Since when I...Why would I...Who said I fired my husband into a volcano?" (Everyone all pointed at me) "Phantom..."
Me: (To Rain Shine) "Well, in my defense, it was painful...and you were having a mood swing when you were pregnant with our daughter and...it was painful. And it felt like you fired me into a volcano."
Meanwhile, Loona walked back to her seat with Carrie and Derick.
Loona: (To Carrie and Derick) "Hello there..."
Princess Cadence: "Goodness! I wouldn't like it if it ever comes to that..."
Shining Armor: "If that ever does happen..." (Ignites he horn) "That griffon will answer to me..."
Me: (To Princess Luna) "I thought you said you would help him."
Princess Luna: (To me) "I did. I tried. But...something blocked me from reaching to him. Almost as if something just doesn't want me to enter his dreams."
Me: "Hmmm. This is very...concerning..."
I raised an eyebrow, interested to hear what Spike has to say about him and Gabby.
Audience: *GASPS*
Rain Shine: "Is that what I think it is?"
Me: "Oh most definitely!"
Sugar Belle: (Gasps) "It is!"
Grampa Gruff: "Is he gonna."
Me: "Yeah, bro!"
Button Mash: "MAMMA MIA!"
Shining Armor: "You go my dragon dude!"
Bulk Biceps: "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
Big Mac: "Eeyup."
Me: "Yeah. So long as SOMEpony doesn't get in the way again. Okay? Do I make myself clear? I'm not mentioning names here. Rarity."
Big Mac: "Nope."
Big Mac: "Yup."
Smolder: (Sarcasm) "Oooh. He's a wizard..."
Gallus: "Well, look at that. I guess brawns triumphs over brains tonight."
Yona: "Yona feel bad for sloth."
Time Turner: "I don't mean to point out the obvious. But it's very much impossible to make fire with wet sticks, let alone in the rain..."
Big Mac: "Nope."
Coco Pommel: "Everybody's looking comfortable."
Big Mac: "Eeyup!"
Cozy Swirl: "Cozy too!"
Carrie White: "What?"
Loona: "Uh...what exactly did they do last year?"
Audience: "Ugh!"
Me: "...I'm sorry we asked."
Autumn Blaze: "What happened to the field mouse?"
Greta: "Was it delicious?" (Receives weird looks from the others) "What? When us griffons don't have fishes to eat, we've got to eat mice too..."
Sweetie Belle: (To Greta) "Ew! TMI! Too much information..."
Button Mash, Rumble, Tender Taps: "The cold shoulder!"
Mina: "You're gonna need more than just a mammoth's tail for an umbrella, little guy..."
Mina: "Aw, that's nice!"
Garble: "Hey! It's that weird looking squirrel again. And I see he's got his nut again..."
Autumn Blaze: "Man that is one determined squirrel..."
Time Turner: "Uh...I wouldn't be standing atop of a tree if I were you. Especially in the middle of the storm. There's a good risk of getting–"
Time Turner: "...electrocuted."
Scootaloo: "Ouch."
Me: "What the..."
Me: "What is that..."
Me: (Eyes widened in horror) "No...It can't be!"
Mina: "Doc? Is that...a wendigo?"
Me: "Yup."
Cozy Swirl: "Mommy! Daddy!"
Extra Cut
Following the wendigo, are a whole pack of shadowy creatures, with the smell of fresh blood from their mouths. Like their masters, one banquet of carnage wasn't enough. They want more meat and blood...more than what they've eaten in Carrie White's former hometown.

Behind the Scenes: Animation
The characters and environments in Ice Age were modeled and animated using WaveFront's Maya animation software. Rendering was completed using CGI Studio, an in-house ray tracing program being developed since Blue Sky's formation in 1987 and previously used for Wedge's 1998 short film, Bunny. While Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, released three months before Ice Age, became the first computer-animated film to make use of ray tracing technology, Ice Age would have received the distinction had it been released at the time Blue Sky began work on the movie.
In order to keep the film at a more exciting pace, the development team took certain liberties with Sid in terms of realism. Although real-life ground sloths were slow-moving and rigid, Sid was given a fast movement speed in certain scenes, as well as a more flexible range of motions. Conversely, the character's arm movements were more restricted in order to retain a sense of laziness true to the nature of sloths.
Manny was a particularly difficult character to animate due to his unique attributes as a mammoth, such as his long fur and massive trunks that covered up his face.
Dealing with a creature which had seldom appeared in animation at the time, the team needed to figure out how Manny would realistically move with character designer Pete DeSeve explaining that "a wooly mammoth isn't simply an elephant with long fur".
According to co-director Carlos Saldanha, Diego was one of the most complexly animated characters in the movie, with some scenes showing off his high movement speed as a sabre-toothed tiger while others kept his movement more contained and focused on his facial expressions to carry the moment.

Great Commentary!
Massager's log #6
Fleck: " Aww, he's so cute."
Dr Gangle: " Three maybe four years old, not yet talking."
Zatanna: " What, they're gonna kill the baby?"
Erik: " But why?"
Erik: " Oh!"
Tubby Nugget: " Ah revenge! The classical reason for doing bad things but it's a double edge blade, it hurts you victims but greatly hurts you too."
Everyone: " AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Fleck: " What was that?"
Mr Squelch: " Probably Pinkie Pie... again. "
Myself: " PINKIE PIE!"
Mr Squelch: " No more yelling!"
Fleck: " You're yelling too!"
Tubby Nugget: " Not helping!"
Tubby Nugget: " This is nice, reminds me of the bind I had with my family. "
Zatanna: " My dad was always the person I could talk too."
Dodger: " Marry her!?"
Mr Squelch: " Oh my, the little boy has a became a man."
Fleck: " How romantic!"
General Supernova: " That sad pathetic thing is actually going to try making fire?"
Mr Squelch ( to Fleck): " I think he's going to quit the moment he gets a splinter. "
Fleck: " No he'll keep going, even when it rains."
Tubby Nugget: " It's not going to..."
Tubby Nugget: " Oh, ( to Fleck) you're good!"
General Supernova: " That is unacceptable! No matter how much you hate them your is your family and you'll never know how precious they are... until you lose them. "
Dodger: " My family was the same, they would try and forget I'm even around. "
Myself: " Well not this family! We will always have your back. "
Zatanna: " Agreed!
Un and Moraik: " Indeed!"
Myself ( in thought): ' Is that Gollum!"
FINISH

That is a very original way of introducing us to the human tribe, especially because their names are never mentioned in the film, although in the film they usually communicate with gestures; and when they say something, they seem like meaningless noises. I think BluSky did it on purpose because it's a movie starring animals, and animals don't understand human language and vice versa. I'm glad to see Ghost with Jon Snow, having such a big wolf will be useful to Call and Quill.
Moving on to Twilight's group... OMC (Oh My Celestia)! I can't believe Spike is going to propose. He believed that, like Pinkie and Rarity with their partners, the two would first have an affair together (although, technically, that's just what's happening), but that's fine. I just hope she finds the right time and that there's no one to ruin it (I'm not talking about Rarity; she and Spike had their history, but the two are on good terms, and she now has a husband and daughter).
But not everything is laughter and joy. The group is being stalked by a... I don't know what it is. And they are not the only ones in the crosshairs of a predator. Runar's tribe is being stalked by namely-toothed tigers' pack. Here we are introduced to the film's antagonist, who is also the first antagonist of the franchise and the first Blue Sky Studios' main antagonist: Soto, a predator who seeks revenge on Runar by killing his son in response to the human having killed to half of his pack, the typical one who believes in the law of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." There is also Diego, the third protagonist of the film, the only one of the pack who seems to agree with his leader in prioritizing revenge on the humans over migrating south. It's a shame that they removed that scene, not only does it emphasize the trust that Soto has in Diego (something that will be important in the future), but that Soto is an oppressive leader who, although he wants revenge for his fallen comrades, doesn't tolerate that anyone discuss his orders, further accentuating a villainous personality.
