The Cooper X Gang

By Mutitoon90

Chapter Eight: Rumble in the Jungle, Day 1

The group was in the hotel lobby, drinking their lemonade, and talking about the race after the long drive.

"Rajan will try anything to stop us." Justin stated.

"So we have to be careful." Mar guessed, as he was about to take a drink from his mug.

"Careful won't protect us much from the other racers." Rad said with a look of darkness in his eyes.

"So, we have to be ready." Luna announced.

"And then some." Belle added.

"What about the van?" Sam asked, worried about the group.

"Belle said that she did something about it." Murry said after finishing his fifth mug.

Meanwhile, two wolves circled around the van, looking for a way to in it.

"I can't see an opening." The older wolf said with an Indian accent.

"Then, let's make one!" The younger wolf announced with a Jersey accent.

As the young wolf swung the ax he carried, electricity entered the ax and pushed the attacker back.

"What the?!" The Jersey wolf exclaimed as he pulled out a metal baseball bat.

Back at the lobby, Sam still wanted to know if the van would be safe for the race.

"Don't worry." Belle reinsured the cat.

Before Sam said another word, a scream came from outside. Sam, Luna, and Mar ran to the window and saw a wolf on the ground with a bat in his hand.

"I don't need to asked anymore questions." The feline stated as she returned to the table with her friends.

"Oh, yeah." The white wolf and the brown rat agreed.

"Told ya." Rad said rather smugly.

"Don't be so smug; I could be right next time." Sam said.

"Attention, racers!" Rajan's voice announced via intercom.

"Here it comes." Murry announced.

"Steady." Justin said to his father.

"Welcome to all racers to my India race. Each team is assigned one or two racecars of their choice. Of course to make things fair, some of the cars have a few handicaps."

"Or malfunctions." Belle snarled quietly.

"As some of you know, this race can be the different between life or death on the track. But until then, good night."

The announcement was over, and the racers were talking about it.

Mar started, "Man, this is so…"

"Scary?" Sam finished.

"Yeah."

"Life or death on the track?" Luna asked herself, and then grinned, "Sounds good to me."

"Oh, boy." Rad said before drinking the last of his drink.

"No joke." The mouse confirmed.

"That's so cool!" Murry announced.

"Calm down, Dad." The hippo's son said.

"Let's go to our hotel rooms." The cat suggested.

"Yeah." Rad said with a grin.

"You stick to your room, Rad." The feline announced.

The raccoon laughed as he snapped his fingers to show his 'disappointment.'

"Don't say it." Luna pleaded as she laughed.

"What?" Rad asked.

"Calm down, it's just a joke." Justin announced.

"This one just was ruined." Belle commented.

The group laughed for a bit when they hear Sam yelled, "LET ME GO!"

"Sam!" The young Cooper announced nearly loud.

"Come on!" Mar ordered to the group.

The others followed Rad and Mar without any fail all the way to Sam's room.

"I hope anything's happened to Sam." The white wolf said, fearing the worse.

Then, a wolf flew out of the cat's room.

"Oh, it's not that bad." Luna said, very relieved.

Confused, the group entered the room and saw Sam pinning another wolf to the wall.

"Why did you attack me?" The furious feline demanded.

"Sam, calm down!" Rad intervened by grabbing Sam's arm and pulling her away from the wolf.

"Is that guy lucky!" Mar exclaimed at how the raccoon pulled his friend from her victim.

"Oh, yeah." Luna agreed.

Justin picked up the wolf, who the feline had pinned earlier.

"Okay, why did you attack Sam?"

"I did not attack her, Phil did." The older wolf answered, still shaken by being pinned to the wall.

"Phil?" Belle asked.

The elder wolf continued.

"We climbed the window to steal the car alarm device when she entered the room. Phil attacked."

"And she fought back." The mouse guessed.

"That's right." The speaker answered.

Sam was cooled down when Phil grabbed her from behind.

"Now, where's it?!" The Jersey wolf demanded.

"Right here!" The cat answered. Then she got out of the hold quickly and got behind him. Before the wolf turned around, the cat kicked him in the groin from behind, causing the wolf to said a meekly "Ow." before falling to the floor. That kick was so hard that the others felt it, despite the fact that they were not hit and some did not have that particular body part.

"Ow!" Rad said with a hiss.

"Right in the baby makers!" Justin said with his eyes shut tight.

"And from behind too." Mar added with one eye shut.

"Even the Murry's weak there." The hippo announced.

"Severs him right though." Belle said with Luna nodding her head in agreement.

The older wolf just groaned.

"That's what is going to happen to anyone who tries to manhandle me." Sam declared.

Unknown to the Cooper X Gang, the older wolf had a smoke bomb.

"I'll be sure that my boss hears that." The unharmed wolf said and threw the bomb onto the floor, causing a smokescreen.

"What the!" Luna exclaimed.

Then, a crash was heard.

"The window!" Belle yelled.

"At least the smoke will clear sooner." Rad joked.

"I don't know what's worse: Rad's timing to make a joke or the bill from the hotel." Justin announced.

"Wait and see." Mar commented.

When the smoke cleared, the two wolves were gone.

"Creeps." The cat yelled.

"No joke." The green haired mouse agreed.

"Look at the window!" The rat said, pointing to the nearly destroyed window.

The raccoon gave a low whistle and said, "That's going to be expensive."

"It can't be as bad as your timing for a joke." The husky said.

The older wolf with his unconscious partner managed to hide from the Cooper X Gang. He pulled out a cell phone and was about to dial a number when it rang.

"Oh, no." The elder exclaimed.

He answered the phone.

"Yes?"

"Have you done the job?"

"No." The wolf said meekly.

"And why not?"

"We couldn't get pass though the security."

"What?"

"Now don't get mad. We tried to break in, but there was an electric field around it. It knocked out Phil for a moment."

"Was there other way to break in?"

"Yes, but before we had the chance to search the room, one of them entered the room."

"Then?"

"Before I knew what was happening, the cat had screamed and thrown Phil out of the room, and her teammates came running in."

"Did you fight them?"

"I didn't, but Phil was the one who grabbed the cat before she threw him out of the room. After that, she pinned me to the wall. That's when the others came. After the leader pulled her away from me, they started asking me questions. Phil got up again and grabbed the cat again, and that's when she attacked him by kicking that one part from behind."

There was a silence for a moment, when the caller exclaimed, " She didn't!"

"Yes, sir." The wolf answered, "She did it so hard that it knocked Phil out."

A groan was heard from the caller.

"But I managed to escape and get Phil out."

"I have heard enough." The caller announced, "When Phil wakes up, I want him to call me. Is that understood?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good." The caller said and hung up.

The elder wolf closed his phone and started to drag Phil back to their base.

In a nearby car, Sly and Carmelita were watching the wolves.

"You heard?" Sly asked his wife.

"Yep." The vixen answered her husband, "Phil screwed up again."

"To believe that Phil is the partner of his grandfather is hard." Sly stated.

"I know." Carmelita agreed.

"And now we know how dangerous Sam can be." The raccoon said, "She'd make for a wonderful daughter-in-law."

"Yeah." The inspector said, and then realized what she had agreed to. "What?!"

Sly laughed as his wife's face turned red from anger and embarrassment.

"Well, we'll have to see tomorrow."
