Diego followed the trail of the mole hog hoping to find the kid. Diego saw the trail turning right behind a tree.
"This way." he said to Shira.
The two sabres turned right only to reach the end of the trail.
"It stops here." said Diego.
"Where's the kid?" asked Shira looking all around.
"The trails about a few hours old." explained Diego.
"So we lost them." said Shira.
"I'm not saying that." said Diego.
"Then what are you saying?" asked Shira.
"Well." said Diego "They could be..."
All a sudden a small pebble hit Diego's face.
"Ow!" he said. "What the?"
The two sabres look up to see two possums hanging on a high branch from their tails blowing the small rocks through small sticks.
"These things are awesome." one said as the other shot at Diego again.
"Hey!" roared Diego in anger.
"Cool" the other possum said.
Diego finally snapped and he leaped onto the tree as his claws held him on the armored bark of tree and jumped and try to claw the two. The two dropped from where they hung and landed on the ground.
"Mist us, mist us." one teased as the two ran into the bushes.
"GET BACK HERE!" Diego roared following.
Shira rolled her eyes and followed the angered Diego.
Meanwhile the two possums ran and hid behind a rock laughing.
"That was awesome!" one said.
"I know!" said the other.
Yet their laughter died down as the light suddenly became dimmer. The two look up and saw a angered sabre.
"Boo." he said.
The two screamed and ran from the sabre who chased after. The two mockers jumped down to separate holes as Diego jumped up and tried to catch on but mist.
"Hey kitty!" one said pop out of a hole and shot at diego with his stick. Diego slammed his paw on the hole hoping that he hit the passum.
"Over here pussy cat." the other said popping out of a hole and shot at Diego's face.
"AH!" Diego said as he tried to pound on the him. The two kept on popping out of every hole shooting the small pebbles at the tiger making him more angry. Shira just watch in enjoyment of Diego getting tormented by the two rodents. Diego finally grew tired after a short time. The possums popped into two neighbouring hole.
"Surrender?" the two asked Diego.
"Never!" Diego said sternly.
"Alright then." one said as the two dropped down into the holes just to pop back out and with one deep breathe the blew rapid fire pebbles at Diego. The tiger then collapsed as the two rodents went down the two holes. Shira walked up to the tired sabre.
"So did you have fun?" she asked.
"If anybody asked." explained Diego. "there were fifty of em, and they were um... rattlesnakes."
"Yeah." said Shira "I'll be sure to tell them that."
Meanwhile the two rodents appeared forty feet from the two sabres.
"Here kitty, kitty." they mocked.
Diego got up on his four paws.
"Big mistakes you rodents!" he said as he charged at them.
"RETREAT." one of the possums said as the two ran from the tiger.
Shira sighed wondering where the kid was then followed Diego.
