Over The Hedge 3: A Relative Reunion

Chapter 6: The Final Battle

The next day, we see RJ and Cody preparing themselves to fight against Tyson by suiting up. They got out their large thin sticks so that they could use them to fight the garden snake and then, they got their rope just in case they defeat Tyson. "I'm all set", said RJ, "You, Cody?" "Ready to go, RJ", said Cody. RJ nods his head and looked at the sun before he and Cody left the frog home to find the secret location to where Tyson lives and Heather decides to come along just in case they need some help as did Verne and the others. Later, in nearly an hour, they had reached the lair of Tyson where the garden snakes lives by only himself. Tyson sees the forest critters, followed by the frogs who want revenge of Tyson for the death of their leader. "Well, well, well", said Tyson, "If it isn't the forest critters and those pesky little freaks coming to destroy my dominance in my throne. Especially you, RJ and Cody." "It's just you, me and Cody, Tyson", said RJ, "Looks like there aren't any snakes around her to protect you once we fight." "Is that so?", said Tyson, "Well, so be it, then. Are you ready for this too, Cody?"

"Do not tempt me, Tyson", said Cody with his fists now clenched and ready for battle. "Remember all of the times that you've had with Vincent and Max, RJ", thought RJ to himself, "They have no love for all of the forest critters and all of the people of the world as well. So, this is it, RJ, so don't be scared." Then, after two long minutes of just staring at each other for a while, the battle finally begins with Tyson gaining the upper hand and quickly ties the two raccoons up with his tail, threatening to kill them if they do not surrender. Then, RJ takes out a sharp object and stabs the snake, causing Tyson to hiss in pain. Cody then grabs Tyson by the throat by shouting, "GIVE UP YET, TYSON?" "NEVERRRRRRRR!", shouted Tyson and stabs Cody by the knee with his fangs, affecting him in the process before the raccoon slumps to the ground. "CODY!", shouted RJ and goes to the now affected and poisoned Cody. "I'll be alright, RJ", said Cody raspilly, "Just do what you can to defeat Tyson!" "What happens if I do defeat him?", asked RJ, "I won't be able to bring you back, will I?" "Yes, you can, RJ", said Cody, "Remember, when you're beaten and are about to be finished off, think of all the times you had with your new family and believe."

Then, Cody dies in pain, leaving RJ only to spread some tears in his eyes and we flash back to his mind where his previous adventures he had with his family are shown. We warp back to the raccoon still in the opening after one more flashback of RJ remembering the time he had visions of his past that seemed to have bothered him. "Alright, Tyson", said RJ, "Let's end this right here and right now!" He takes out a sharp knife from the left side of his belt and gets ready for Tyson to make one more move. "You have no cousin, RJ", said Tyson darkly, "Now it's just you and me!" The garden snake charges towards the raccoon, but RJ quickly stabs him with one fast throw on the bottom of his neck, thus killing him offscreen and causing Heather and the others to gasp in the process. "It's just me, Tyson!", said RJ and suddenly, due to his outstanding courage and sheer triumph, he glows brightly green and it affects Cody in the process. "Friends", said RJ and starts to make a speech again, "All three of our enemies are vanquished because they don't have love and sympathy for others! Now... it's over." Then, Heather and the others cheered in applause.

Then, Cody comes back to life and RJ smiles in surprise and emotion before he goes to him in perfect silence. "I told you it'd work", said Cody and he and RJ hugged each other happily. Later, we see RJ shaking his hands with one of the male frogs who has been chosen as the next leader. "Goodbye, we'll never forget the day we first met you." "As will we", said one of the male frogs, "Farewell, raccoon. Farewell to all of you too, forest critters!" All of the male and female frogs cheered in applause for RJ's bravery before the two raccoon and RJ's family walked quietly to their rocket and Hammy quickly lited the fuse that was near the rocket the whole time before it takes off into the sky.


Sorry for making this short. I just wanted to kill some precious time... and I'm also sorry for making the final battle so much shorter compared to the battle between RJ and Max in Over The Hedge 2. And don't worry. I'm almost done with this story with only two more chapters. I'll update soon! I promise!
