The crew continues on to the next room, which surprisingly doesn't appear to have any traps at all. "Pfew, looks like we'll be safe here." Patches sighs.
"I wouldn't be so sure," Strudel muses. "There certainly must be a catch of some sort."
"There is." Fluffy takes a compact out of her pocket and blows the powder into the doorway, upon which several crisscrossing beams of light suddenly appear.
"Boy, that Feltwaddle's a sneaky one!" Squirt states.
"We'll hafta' be super-duper careful so nobody catches us." whispers Cupcake.
The dogs and cats proceed through the room, carefully stepping over and crawling under the beams. While this is happening, Morton, who's in a nearby hallway emptying wastebaskets, becomes aware of the noise. "Say, what's going on in there?"
He then traipses into the room and spies the group. "Ah, intruders, eh? Well, I'll get you guys good! Won't Uncle Milton be pleased!" He hurries after the dogs and cats, who quickly scramble toward the exit, dodging lasers as they go. Fortunately for them, Morton isn't quite as careful and steps across a beam, upon which a rope shoots out of the wall and ties him up. "Yeesh..." he groans.
As the dogs and cats come to a clearing, they seat themselves on the floor, panting and out of breath. "Everyone okay?" asks Lucky.
"Uh huh." replies Sweet Pea.
"Yeah." replies Patches.
"Boy, that sure was tricky." says Squeak.
"We must be getting pretty close by now, though," states Cookie. "Hopefully, we'll be able to rescue Harry and get safely back to the pound soon."
"Then there's no time to lose," replies a determined Lucky. "Let's hurry, guys!"
The group finally comes to a large room in the center of the shelter where a large number of sad little puppies and kittens, unhappily whimpering and mewing, are stacked in too-small cages. "Oh, the poor little things," Cupcake says sadly. "I hope we can save them."
In the middle of the stack, the group spies a very scared looking Harry. "Harry!" Sweet Pea exclaims.
"Sweet Pea, is that you?"
"Don't worry, Harry, we've come to rescue you!" a determined Sweet Pea exclaims.
Lucky stands under the cage; Ace hops up on Lucky's shoulders, and boosts Sweet Pea up so she can pick the cage's lock. Unfortunately, they've no sooner done this when a loud siren sounds, and the dogs and cats are immediately swooped up into a net and dangled from the ceiling.
"Well, well, well," Feltwaddle sneers nastily, as he and Scarface appear in the doorway. "What do we have here, but a bunch of meddling dogs and nosy cats? You tresspassing pests have made your last rescue from this pound! I'm going to lock you all up for good!" Scarface snickers nastily at this.
"Oh no!" despairs Cupcake.
"What'll we do?!" says Patches.
Out of the corner of his eye, Lucky observes a release switch on the wall. "Don't worry, guys; everybody-swing!"
The dogs and cats jostle the net back and forth; once they're close enough, Lucky presses the switch, opening up all the cages; Harry's cage door opens, and he pops out, upon which Fluffy catches him. "Harry, you're saved!" Sweet Pea exclaims happily.
The little grey puppy gives his friend a gentle hug. "Oh, I'm so happy to see you again!"
Ace then slices the net open with his claws, and the group drops down to the ground, and, along with all the little puppies and kittens who have now been released, rush out the door, trampling Feltwaddle and Scarface as they go. "Mutts drive me nuts." Feltwaddle groans.
"Meow..." Scarface groans.
