## Plot

It start's with Marty running away from the circus (why he ran away is answered in Episode 3: Farquaad's Reign), and runs towards the nearest ship headed to Africa. Alex, Melman, and Gloria follow him and manage to catch-up to him but Marty is all ready on the ship. They get on the ship and Alex asks Marty "Why are you running away?". But before he could answer, he fell off the ship, but not into the ocean, instead he fell into a portal, as well as the others did. That portal led to the Ice Age. They were very cold, and ran to the nearest cave. They made a fire and Alex asked Marty again as to why he ran away. He didn't answer. So Alex just said "Well then, let's just get's some sleep.". The next morning, Marty woke up to the sight of a mammoth and he screamed, which woke everybody up. That mammoth then said "Hey, wow, calm down, I'm not going to hurt you, I was just on my morning stroll when I saw you guy's in here". Then Marty asked "Who are you, WHAT are you?" The mammoth replied "My name is Manny the Mammoth, I would like to ask you the same thing.". Marty then said "Marty the Zebra.". Manny then said "Huh, I've never heard of a, zebra, before, and you must be a Saber.". Alex replied "I'm actually Alex the Lion.". "Melman the Giraffe.". "Gloria the Hippo.". Manny replies "I've never heard of species like you guy's before.". Marty then say's "Well I have a theory. We traveled back in time to the time of the Ice Age, because of the portal we fell through.". Alex then say's "Well, we don't have anything else, so i guess this is our only option.". Melman "I agree". Gloria "Me too.". Manny then said "Why don't I just show around our village.". They all agreed and went with Manny. He then say's "Check it out, my village.". They were amazed at the sight of seeing all those animals that have gone extinct. They walked down there and Manny introduced the village to Marty and the others. He then shows them that there is a big hole in the ground that leads them to the Dinosaur World. Marty then said "Look! A portal is opening up!". They all ran towards the portal and jump in, except Manny, who hesitated, but jumped in anyway. Then they found themselves in a swamp, with a house. They walked to the house and Marty knocks on the door. Shrek opens the door and is surprised to here he has visitors, but was even more surprised to see these visitors. He then asked "What, are you doing, in my swamp?!". Marty then said "We came from a different time period, and we need your help!" Shrek replied "I don't believe that! I've got a family to take car of.". And so he closed the door. Marty then said "Are you an ogre? We need someone like you to help us!". So he opened the door and said "Fine." . Then another portal opened and they all jumped through to find that they are stuck in a lab with a person, who was Thelonious. He was pleased to see that they fell into his trap, which he just said "I'm now glad that you fell into my trap!". Marty then said "You! Wait, who is he?". Shrek answered "His name is Thelonious, he was a minion of Lord Farquaad.". Then Thelonious said "Will be again!". Shrek then said "Wait, what do you mean 'will be again'?" He moved out of the way to show Shrek Farquaad's corpse (that he dug out of Dragon's crap). Melman then said "Eww. Disgusting.". Thelonious then ran away while saying "I'm buying time for myself!". Marty then said "We have to stop him!", but there was no way out. Then Marty found a way, it appears that Thelonious left a key in the lab with them. Marty then said "He's stupid, **STUPID!**". So Marty took the keys and they escaped the lab. Thelonious was already there at the Lazarus Pit, while Marty and the others follow right behind. Then Thelonious threw Farquaad's corpse in the Lazarus Pit. It was to late, but they defeated Thelonious after Marty had a fight with him. Then Marty said "Well, Thelonious is done for. Hey, we make a great team!, maybe we could meet again?" Manny and Shrek agreed but then went back to there time period's with Thelonious's device that Marty then took with him to create his version of a time machine. So The Zooster's walked away from the Lazarus Pit, but then Lord Farquaad was resurrected then said "I will get you next time, zebra!". Then it ends with Marty and Alex buying a house that took two weeks to buy because they were animals. And then Marty is holding his Marty Plushy in his room, and then say's "I think I will have great adventures with these guys!". Run time was 22 minutes.
