The final battle and chapter of our story. Enjoy!

Fievel, Tanya, Tony, Tiger, and Wylie made their way to the edge of Green River.

"Gotta say, I never knew being a cowgirl felt so exciting." said Tanya.

"Yeah, it actually feels awesome." said Tony. "No wonder Filly loves it so much."

They could soon hear someone talking.

"That's Cat R. Waul!" exclaimed Fievel.

"Sounds like the ceremony is about to start." said Tony.

"Which means we gotta move now if we wanna save your fellow mice." said Wylie.

"Alright, let's do this!" Tiger said, determined.

"Let's go!" said Fievel.

The five made their way closer as they could see Cat R. Waul talking to all the mice and cats. The mice sat on homemade rows, unaware that it was a mouse trap. Mama, Papa, and Yasha were among them.

"Jolly good. Now pay attention. Cats and gentle mice, lend me your ears." said Waul. "It is my distinguished pleasure to invite all of you... to share our dinner... triumph! To share our triumph! Today we herald in a momentous... new feast... ival. 'Feastival…' festival."

Waul then brought up a giant part of golden scissors. "To mark this brilliant and illustrious snack occasion, I will, with these golden scissors, hereby cut the red... ribbon."

Everyone applauded. The mice and especially the cats watched with anticipation as Waul slowly closed the scissors. But just before the ribbon could be cut…

CLANG!

Everyone jumped as the scissors were knocked out of Waul's paws and into the air and landed away from the crowd of cats and mice. Everyone looked over to see Fievel, Tanya, Tony, Tiger, and Wylie standing there with flares on their faces and slingshots in their paws. It had been Fievel who knocked the scissors out.

"Nice shot Filly!" praised Tony.

"You got a good aim!" added Tanya.

Fievel smiled at the praise before the three glared at Waul.

"Hey Cat R. Waul, we've come to close you down!" shouted Wylie.

"What are our children doing?" asked Mama.

"I have no idea." said Papa.

"Okay, chaps, it's become necessary to put these dogs... through obedience school." said Waul as he grinned evilly at the five. "Kill."

The Cactus Cat Gang slowly approached the five. Wylie then spotted a cat on a roof.

"Oh, look out behind you, kids!" he shouted.

Quickly, Tiger fired his slingshot at the cat, knocking it off the roof.

Sweet William, Slim, and Felonious slowly approached them, but Fievel, Tanya, and Tony sent them back by during shots through their hats.

One-Eye lunged forward, but Tiger punched him in his closed eye, making him stagger backwards.

Miss Kitty and Bridgett were watching the scene from above in the saloon.

"Oh, who's that dog down there with Wylie?" asked Miss Kitty.

"I'm not sure." said Bridgett.

"He's got some stuff!" Miss Kitty said, amazed.

One of the shorter cats approached the group. Tiger got ready to fire his slingshot… only for the cat to bring out a bigger one.

Tiger's slingshot suddenly went limp.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee!" he laughed nervously.

The cat then fired his several times, sending Tiger's slingshot into the air.

Fievel, Tanya, Tony, Tiger, and Wylie watched in shock before giving sheepish smiles.

The cats closed in on them.

"That's a lot of cats." muttered Tony.

"We have to stop them." said Fievel. "It's the only way to save everyone."

Tanya and Tony nodded as they stood their ground alongside Fievel and Wylie while Tiger looked scared.

"It's too tough, kids. Get out while you still can." said Wylie.

"Okay. Toodle-oo!" Tiger said nervously as he tried to walk away.

But Fievel grabbed him by the tail. "Hey, Tiger. Give 'em the la-a-zy eye!" he said with a grin.

Tiger grinned and nodded.

Fievel turned to his sister and friend. "You guys too!" he told them.

Tanya and Tony traded glances before shrugging.

Then out of nowhere, all five of them gave the cats the la-a-zy eye, making them run away screaming.

"Run for your lives!" screamed Felonious.

The five suddenly stopped when a gunshot sounded out.

"What was that?!" screamed Tanya.

Fievel gasped when he saw an annoyed Waul with a gun.

"We gotta save them!" cried Fievel.

Tanya turned to them. "Keep the cats guys! I got an idea!"

"Tanya, where are you going?!" cried Tiger.

"Just trust me!" Tanya replied.

"Ok Tilly, but be careful!" said Tony.

Tanya was about to run, when Fievel grabbed her arm. Tanya turned to face him.

"If this doesn't work Tanya… I think you would've been the greatest mouse singer I've ever known." said Fievel with a smile.

Tanya smiled, touched at her brother's words.

"Aw thanks Fievel. And I think you would've been a great Law Mouse." she said as she bent down to Fievel's level and hugged him.

Fievel gladly returned it.

Spectating their hug, Tanya ran to the mousetrap.

"Morons." groaned Waul before shouting to the architect, Trigger the mousetrap!"

Miss Kitty and Bridgett gasped.

"It's a giant mousetrap! It's a giant mousetrap! They're gonna squash the mice!" Miss Kitty cried in horror.

Bridgett quickly scurried down the building.

"Now!" shouted Waul.

But just before the architect could cut the ribbon...

"Oh, say, can you see? You're on a mousetrap." sang Tanya

Waul froze when he saw Tanya stand on top of the trap, singing.

"Stop! You'll crush the diva!" cried Waul.

All the mice froze in shock. The truth was out.

"Flee! Run, run! Run, everybody! Run for your lives!" cried Tanya as the mice ran screaming.

Waul aimed his gun at them. "Freeze, you miserable vermin!" he sneered.

Waul began to fire rapidly.

"Tilly, look out!" cried Tony.

Just before one of the bullets could hit Tanya, Fievel and Tony quickly shoved her out of the way.

They landed on the ground.

"Oh you saved me!" Tanya said happily as she wrapped Fievel and Tony in a hug.

"Happy to do so, Tanya." smiled Fievel.

"Is everyone alright?" asked Bridgett as she ran over.

"Bridgett! You're ok!" Tony said happily as they hugged.

"Bridgett, stay with Mama, Papa, and Yasha!" said Fievel. "We'll handle the cats!"

"Ok. Be careful!" said Bridgett.

Fievel, Tanya, and Tony ran back to the fight scene.

Mama, Papa, and Yashawe're still running when Bridgett ran up to them.

"Bridggie!" giggled Yasha.

"Bridgett vhere are our kids?" asked Papa.

"They're fine!" said Bridgett. "Come on, I need to get ya somewhere safe."

"But what about Fievel and Tanya?!" Mama asked worriedly.

"Don't worry." Bridgett assured. "They can take care of themselves."

Mama and Papa traded unsure glances.

"Besides, they got Tony, Tiger, and that famous Law Dog Wylie Burp to help them." Bridgett added. "Now come on, let's get you three to safety."

Mama and Papa hesitantly nodded as Bridgett led them and Yasha to safety.

Meanwhile, Waul was still firing as Fievel, Tanya, Tony, Tiger, and Wylie tried to avoid them. Tiger ran through some buckets, one foot in each like he did with the tires in the barn.

Wylie hid behind a barrel while Fievel, Tanya, and Tony stood on a wooden plank. The four nodded as Wylie slammed his fist on the plank and sent them flying into the air.

Tanya and Tony landed onto Waul while Fievel landed on the gun.

"Get off me, vermin!" shouted Waul as he tried to grab them.

"Not happening potato for brains!" said Tony as he tugged on Waul's ear, making him scream in pain. "You're not fooling these mice anymore!"

Tanya crawled to Waul's face.

"Uh… still gonna sing for me?" Waul asked nervously.

Tanya glared. "Here's your answer."

Tanya yanked on Waul's whiskers. Tony then bit Waul's ear. The brown cat screamed in pain as he let go of the gun.

Fievel then aimed the gun at Waul, making him scream in fright as he tried to get away from him.

"Yee-haw!" Fievel chered.

"Aah! Aah!" Waul screamed until he bumped into the mousetrap.

"Now you freeze, Cat R. Waul!" said Fievel as he aimed the gun at the cat, who held his paws in the air while Tony and Tanya hopped off.

"Don't pull it, kid!" came a voice.

Fievel, Tanya, and Tony looked up, and to their horror, they saw Chula holding miss kitty hostage with his webs tying her paws behind her back.

"Or you've seen the last of Miss Kitty!" threatened Chula.

"Get your hands off me!" snarled Miss Kitty.

Tiger saw his lady in trouble and growled.

"Help! Help!" Miss Kitty called.

Tiger growled loudly as his face filled up with rage. And then...

"ARF! ARF! ARF! ARF! ARF!" he barked.

Fievel, Tanya, and Tony's jaws in shock dropped at Tiger, a cat, who barked, like a dog.

Tiger then started to attack the cats. He kicked one into the air, grabbed another and stretched him out before letting it go into the air, and then pulled a short one's hat over his head and kicked him into the air.

The three cats landed on top of Waul, all on top of the mousetrap.

"That handles him." said Tony.

"Come on, let's go kick some butt!" said Fievel.

"Right away Fievel!" Tanya said with a giggle as the mice ran off to help.

Wylie punched the architect cat in the face twice before kicking him onto the cat pile.

Fievel, Tony, and Tanya crawled over One-Eye and then bit his neck before punching him in the face. One-Eye stumbled onto the pile.

One cat threw his knife at Tiger, but he caught it in his mouth, and spat it back. It flew into the cat's hat, and he flew through the air on top of the pile.

"I never taught him that one." Wylie chuckled.

Fievel, Tanya, and Tony jumped off him and began firing their slingshots at Sweet William.

"I ain't losing to no mice!" he snarled as he tried to grab them.

But the three mice took advantage of this and crawled up his arm and bit into his neck. Sweet William screamed in pain as Fievel, Tanya, and Tony jumped off and fired their slingshots at him him again, sending Sweet William onto the pile.

Tiger kicked a cat onto the pile and then he punched another.

Fievel, Tanya, and Tony fired their slingshots at Slim, Felonious, and Frenchy as they backed into each other.

"Now Tiger!" called Tony.

TIger charged forward towards the three cats with a hoe and lifted them into the air as they landed on the pile of cats.

"Nice throw Tiger!" cheered Tanya.

Tiger just nodded as he looked up at Chula with a glare. "You harm one patch of fur on her and I'll tear you apart!" he shouted.

Chula snorted as he spat a web at Tiger. Tiger smirked as he grabbed it.

"One leg at a time." he said as he yanked Chula down.

Chula screamed in surprise as Tiger tied him up with his own web. He then threw Chula on top of the cats.

Miss Kitty held onto one of the pillars until it broke. She screamed as she fell until Tiger caught her.

"Oh, my hero!" Miss Kitty swooned.

Tiger grinned as looked at Wylie.

"Okay, Wylie!' he called.

Wylie grinned as he picked up Fievel, Tanya, and Tony. "Let 'em rip, kids." he told them.

"Yes, sir, Mr. Burp, sir!" said Fievel.

Wylie placed Fievel, Tanya, and Tony in his slingshot and fired them over to the gun.

Tony landed first as he aimed the gun at the ribbon. Tanya landed second and used her foot to turn off the safety. Finally, Fievel landed last as he crawled to the trigger and pulled it back, firing the gun.

The bullet ripped apart the ribbon, which triggered the mousetrap, sending Waul and the Cactus Cat Gang screaming into the air.

Fievel, Tanya, Tony, Tiger, Wylie, Mama, Papa, Yasha, Miss Kitty, Bridgett, and all the mice watched in awe as the villains landed in a mailbag connected to the water tower.

Waul's head popped out. "And now…"

Suddenly, the train drove by, the mail stick picking up the sack… and breaking part the water spout as water poured out of it.

Waul emerged from the sack, gowling. "Revenge!" she shouted.

"Oh, pussypoos!" came a familiar voice.

Waul's eyes widened. "Oh, no!" he groaned.

He tried to escape, but the large woman from the saloon grabbed him and then dressed him in baby clothes.

"Mommy's going to take care of you forever and ever... and ever!" she gushed as Waul frowned in annoyance.

Back in town, the mice all celebrated their freedom from Cat R. Waul and his gang.

Fievel, Tanya, and Tony slid off the gun and joined Mama, Papa, Yasha, and Bridgett.

"Papa, Mama!" Fievel said happily.

"Fievel, Tanya, my babies!" Mama said happily as she, Papa, and Yasha hugged the two.

Papa laughed. "Ha-ha! Our Fievel and Tanya are not so little anymore." "We're sorry we never believed you."

"It's ok." Tanya assured with a smile. "We're just glad you're all safe."

"You lot are heroes!" said Bridgett as she kissed Tony's cheek, making him blush.

"And you three look great as cowboys and a cowgirl." added Mama.

"Yeah, but it was Filly and Tilly that were the bravest of us five." said Tony as he pointed at the two.

"You can say that again." said Tiger as he, Miss Kitty, and Wylie walked up.

"My goodness! Tiger, was that you who fought all those cats?" Mama asked in surprise.

Tiger laughed as he took off his hat revealing his cat ears.

"Tiger! Wow…" Miss Kitty said happily as she hugged and kissed him.

"Since when did you learn how to be a dog?" asked Papa.

"Wylie taught me." said Tiger.

Mama and Papa approached Wylie.

"So you are the famous Wylie Burp?" asked Papa.

Wylie smiled. "Well yes. Your son is a fan of mine, I hear." he said.

"Oh yes, he idolizes you." said Mama.

Wylie chuckled. "Yup. He and your oldest daughter are the true heroes here."

Fievel and Tanya blushed at the praise.

"Oh come on, we're not that much of heroes." said Fievel.

"Are ya kiddin'?!" Tony asked incredulously. "You two were the ones who found out about Wauls' plan and wanted to stop him, despite no one beleinging ya."

"Yeah, and Fief, you believed I could be tough and brave." added Tiger.

"And you helped pull me out of a rut." added Wylie.

Tony approached Fievel and Tanya. "In the end you two are the real heroes. You brought this team of five together to take down that Cactus Cat Gang and won. Because you never gave up, willing to do what it took to save the ones you cared about."

Fievel and Tanya smiled at all the praise.

"Thanks guys." smiled Tanya.

"Yeah, that means a lot." added Fievel.

"Now it's time for music." said Papa as he brought out his violin. "Let's celebrate!"

Papa began to play. Fievel and Tanya danced with each other as Tony did the same with Bridgett. All the mice danced and cheered in celebration.

Fievel and Tanya then noticed Wylie walking away.

"Wylie." Fievel gasped.

"Wonder where he's going." said Tanya as she laid her hat down.

Curious, the two began to follow Wylie. Tony noticed too as he followed them.

The three mice later found Wylie sitting on a log near the edge of town watching the sunset.

"Hey Wylie." said Tony as he, Fievel, and Tanya joined him.

"Hey kids." said Wylie. "Still wearing the coats, I see."

"Yeah. They actually look good on us." said Tanya. "Especially you Fievel." she added as he side-hugged her brother.

"Thanks Tanya." Fievel smiled as he returned it.

Tony and Wylie smiled at the scene as Wylie reached into his jacket.

"Here, kids. I want each of you to have one of these." said Wylie as he pulled out three sherriff badges. "I know only Fievel wants to be a Law Mouse while Tanya wants to be a singer and Tony wants to be rich, but I think you all deserve one.

The three took their badges.

"Wow… thanks Wylie." said Tanya.

"Yeah, means a lot." said Tony.

Fievel sighed. "I can't. I'm not a hero like you... well, not really." he said solemnly.

"Well, maybe not. Maybe a real hero's the last one to hear about it." said Wylie as he smiled. "But you pulled me out of a gutter... and for that I owe you some thanks."

"Yeah Filly, you are a great hero." said Tony. "You helped defeat Warren T. Cat and his goons, saved Cholena from those corrupted Factory Workers, and solved the Mystery of the night Monster."

"And it was mainly you who helped bring this team together to take down Cat R. Waul." said Tanya as she looked at her brother with a proud smile. "And I'm happy you are my brother." she added as she kissed Fievel's cheek..

Fievel smiled happily. :Aw, thanks guys." he said, feeling touched.

Wylie smiled. "Just remember, kids." he told them as they looked up at him. Wylie then looked at the sunset. "One man's sunset is another man's dawn. I don't know what's out there... beyond those hills, but if you ride yonder, head up, eyes steady, heart open, I think one day you'll find... that you're the heros you've been lookin' for."

Fievel smiled as he pulled the inside of his cowboy hat out, revealing his blue travel hat Papa gave him before they went to America. Tony did the same, revealing his blue cap.

They happily put them on as they watched the sunset.

What they didn't see was Mama, Papa, Yasha, Tiger, Miss Kitty, and Bridgett watching them with fond smiles on their faces.

Fievel, Tanya, Tony, and Wylie happily watched the sunset. Although their lives would be different out West, Tanya, Tony, and especially Fievel knew that their dreams would come true. Because they would stick together through it all with their friends and family by their side as one big happy family.
