Something awoke Razputin from a deep sleep, and he tumbled from his bed. He tried to stand, but the floor was shaking. He looked across the room to see his brothers trying to balance as well.
"Dart! Dogen! We have to get out of here!"
Raz made for a hole in the floor and jumped in. About halfway down to the den, he stopped because something felt wrong. Dart and Dogen ran into him. "Get outta the way, Bro!" Dart yelled. Their father appeared farther down the hallway. "Come on, son," he told Raz.
Something was majorly wrong. "Dad, move," Raz said, worried. "What?" Dad said, blinking at the three little chipmunks above him.
"Dad, you gotta move…"
"Razputin?"
"Move!"
"Honey!" Mom cried, pulling her husband down into the den. At that moment, a buzz saw cut through the hallway. Raz dug his claws into the heartwood. Behind him, he felt a Psi-balloon pop up. Useless. As the saw sliced on through the tree, the top part began to fall. The three chipmunks were bounced around and knocked unconscious.
The brothers' half-tree was placed on a truck. "This one's all full," said one of the workers. "Take it away." When the workers turned back to the cut tree, four chipmunks popped out. "Waddaya know?" said one of the workers. "There was squirrels in 'ere!" The chipmunks ran off to a place where they could watch the workers without being in the way.
"Daddy?"
Demy looked up at her father, fearful. "Are the boys gonna okay?" she asked. He looked over at his daughter Ana and his wife.
"They're going to be okay. Those boys are special…"
