The sound of many laughs came from a bush, carved out to be a den. Four tiger cubs ran on a rampage, giggling and tackled each other. The young adult tiger padded in and picked up on the cubs and sighed. "Do you Tiger Cubs ever get tired?" She huffed, feeling more sleepy then ever. The eyes of a cat watched the cub and came out of the bush to talk to the cats there. "So, can we get them now?" The one cat growled impatiently. "No, you fur-brain!" The leader hissed and smacked the head of the other one. "We have to wait until the tiger leaves to hunt again."A tiny brown cat's ear flopped, trusting his older brother but questioned him a bit. "But how long will that be brother?" His voice was squeaky and cute. The three cats ducked down as the Tiger padded outside and ran off to find more prey. "Now?" The tiny cat meowed questionably. "Now." He laughed insanely. The three cats leapt through, scaring the cubs. The small one pinned the oldest one down, The yellow cat got two of them. He sniffed for the fourth and tackled him. "Got'cha now." They grabbed the cubs and ran off to their base. The tiger cubs struggled around, trying to get loose of their tight grip of the cats' sharp teeth. "Rodney, are we gonna die?" The youngest cub whimpered. "I hope not little bro.." The oldest one replied. The tall leader looked up, seeing their sworn enemies. "Run faster, boys. I see their second-in-command, Dexter!" Dexter dove down in front of the tiger's den but sees no cubs or the Mom. "Guys, we have a problem." He said with his ears down as Goldie hopped off of her Robot Dog. They looked at the den and sees nobody here. "We're too late." Mema would sit down and her tail sadly flicked. A strong animal tackled Mema and snarled, it was the tiger from before! "What did you do with the cubs?!" Luna almost shot a fire ball at the Tiger but Mema told her to stop. The tiger got surrounded and started to almost claw them if they got close. "Calm down, Mrs. Tiger." Goldie spoke with a tender voice, trying to calm her down. "We're here to protect your cubs but they were wrong when we got here." The large cat yowled loudly that it striked fear in one of their hearts. "A likely story!" She released her long amd sharp claws as she looked at them when they closed her in a circle. A rustle came from the bushes and they all focused their attention on the bush. A tall brown and white cat walked through with two others and the cubs. "Petra, help us!" The female cub pleaded with tears. "Aspen, you fur-brain! You led straight back here." The leader hissed at Aspen once again. "You!" The tiger snarled and realised who the real threat is, those cats. Goldie recognized the scent and the colors of the cats and growled. "Amir, I should've known!" Mema stepped close to Luna and tried to get on her back. "Ah, ah, ah! Nice try, Mema." He said with a tone, sounding like he's planning something sinister. "Get on that dragon's back and these cubs go in the river!" Mema stepped away from her. "You coward! Thinking you can threaten us with the cubs' lives!" Mema growled with her fur setting on fire and prepares to pull out her bow & an arrow to attack. "Wait, uh, Amir?" The tiny member asked his brother. "Wasn't there six of them?" Amir counted them and sees one missing. He got tackled from the sky by Dexter, letting go of the Youngest cub. "Petra, I'm glad you're here." Amir growled at the creatures surrounding them and runs away. "They're getting away but I'll get them." Dexter tried to fly but Petra grabbed his tail. He looked at the tiger with confusion. "I'll get them back. I think I know a solution." Petra ran after Amir and the two others. Dexter flew up in the sky to see what was going on. Mema leaped onto Luna's back and Luna flew up alongside the small multi-color dog. Amir looked behind him to see a powerful and angry tiger after them. "Faster! The Tiger's on our tails!" Petra leapt into the bushes near by and the cats stood in a clearing in the middle of the forest. They shook in fear, unaware where Petra will attack at any moment. In a heartbeat, She leapt at them and growling, her claws targeted at Amir's neck. The tiny cat tried to run away but Petra smacked him with her paw and sent him flying to his Clan-mates. The three other tiger cubs got free and ran behind her as she pinned them to the ground. "Rodney, Thomas, Jesse, and Spiral, it's SO good to know that you're ok." Petra purred and licked their heads and Goldie approached The minorly injuried cats and stared at them with a bold face. "Now, you need to leave right now or Zeus has planned for you." Goldie growled as her huge robot dog walked next to her, his steel skin stood up like blades and his fangs sticking out. "Y-yes! We'll leave!" Amir panicked and the others ran off with him. A small breeze blew through Petra's whiskers as she grunted. Goldie got on Zeus' back and ran to the base. Dexter padded toward Petra, looking up at her with wide eyes. "You're not really their mom, are you?" He tilted his head, noticing that she's practicality his age. "Yeah, I'm just their cub-siter." Both of them chuckled and Dexter ran and his wings sprouted up and took flight to join the others to get home safely. Petra and the cubs waved at them and padded back to their den, where they're safe for good.
