As they travel further into the plains, the group sees a mother kangaroo hopping toward them. "Ooh, a kangaroo!" Bubbles exclaims excitedly. "Hi, Mrs. Kangaroo!" The kangaroo chatters happily in reply as a small joey sticks his head out of her pouch. "Aww, what a sweet baby!" the blue Powerpuff coos.
"Heh," Arturo notes. "They look like Katy and Joey."
"Yeah," Billy replies. "I remember them from da circus. They was nice li'l kangaroos."
As Snake looks on with intrigue, he suddenly feels something snatch up his hat. "Hey!" he exclaims. "Who did thatssss?" Just then, he feels the hat drop back onto his head. His curiosity peaking, Snake looks over his shoulder and sees a small grey koala bear in a nearby tree, chuckling at this.
Snake is slightly annoyed at first, but this emotion soon dissolves. "Heh, guessss that wasss pretty funny," he says warmly. "You sssssure are a cute li'l fella." The little marsupial happily chatters in reply. Snake takes a small package of grape flavored fruit leather from his shorts pocket and gives the koala a piece, which he happily eats. April said, "He seems to like your little fruit rolls."
The group heard something jingling as Rebecca and Mojo followed the noise, then they came across a little mouse tied to a bell trying to get free. The mouse struggled and panted, then Mojo says, "Hello, how did you get like that?" The mouse squeaked out a sort of warning, which made Rebecca say, "Mojo, don't try to free him! It looks like a poacher trap!"
Mojo says, "Becca, how can that be a poacher's TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP?" He gets the mouse free, but underneath him is loose ground and leaves covering a big hole. Mojo held the mouse in his hands and fell to the ground with a thud, then he looked up and sees some machine blinking a red light with a steady beeping noise. Worried, Rebecca hurries up to him. "Quick, give me your hands, Mojo, I'll pull you out!" Mojo promptly reaches his hands out to her, upon which she quickly grabs them and pulls him out. Mojo breathes a series of steady breaths and mops his brow. "Are you okay, Sweetie?' a concerned Rebecca inquires as she gently helps him up and dusts him off.
"Yes indeed, my dear," he replies. "Thank you so much for saving me." The little mouse skitters up to Mojo and squeaks a thank you. Mojo gently pets the little rodent's head. "You're quite welcome, little one."
At this moment, Rebecca's gaze falls on the odd machine behind them. "Wow...I wonder what that is."
Just then, their friends come running up to them. "Guysssss, are you okay?" inquires a concerned Snake.
"We heard Mojo fall!" an equally concerned April adds.
Mojo said, "I'm alright. I managed to save a mouse from some weird trap and fell into this hole. Rebecca pulled me out and the mouse ran off to safety. I don't know what's with that machine in that hole. It's been beeping when I was down there." The ground began to rumble and shake from the forest, while a giant truck with a large cage in the back drove through.
From the truck, a man smirked as he looked at the monitor, "Alright, we got one! We're goin' ta be rich, mate!" The other man spoke in an American accent, "Sweet, what is it, Ralph?"
Ralph said, "Don't know, but I bet it's a nice croc or a dingo."
As Rebecca and her friends slowly leave the scene, the two men hurry over to check the trap. "Ahh, rats!" the American man grumbles. "It gave us the slip!"
"Not fer long, Marty," Ralph replies with a sly sneer. "This jungle's crawlin' with critters worth a pretty penny. It's only jus' a matter a'time." As his gaze falls on the mama and baby kangaroo, he gets an evil gleam in his eye.
