"Alright ya tarantula, yer next," said Miss Kitty after Wylie Burp had finished tying up Cat R. Waul with a rope, brandishing her shotgun at the arachnid.
"Ya know what boss, maybe we shoulda figured that they'd ambush us when we got out of the mine," Chula said irritably.
"Shut up, Chula," Waul snapped, "I should have eaten that sewer rat when I had the chance..."
Tanya sat Vartan down on a rock gingerly, as Tony looked him over, and cautiously approached Waul.
"Why did you save me?" she asked.
Waul looked down at the mouse, "Oh that idiotic control-freak Ratigan had pushed me to my last nerve. I specifically told him that you were

"You're an atrocious madman, Ratigan," Nellie said, struggling against the spider web she was wrapped in as One-Eye carried her, Fievel and Vartan into the dark recesses of the mine. Chula followed behind, with the two orphans.
"Oh you shouldn't flatter me so, you might make Basil jealous," Ratigan answered, his gun pointed into Tanya's back as he forced her to march, "Though I suppose I do have an irresistible charm when it comes to women, wouldn't you say so Tanya?"
Tanya scowled, but said nothing.
"Now we won't be harming the diva herself, will we?" Waul asked, still bitter over how the rally had went, brushing the dust off his nice

Basil was shocked to hear the news.
"The children escaped? You have them locked in your dressing room?!"
Tanya nodded shyly, standing in the doorway of Tony's house. She'd come straight there after leading Fievel and Olivia into her dressing room. It was now close to 4am, but Basil was wide awake while Nellie was dozing on the sofa, and Vartan had fallen asleep at the table over his sketchbook. Tony and Bridget were asleep in their bedroom.
"Get in here and tell me exactly what happened," Basil said, pulling Tanya inside by the wrist and closing the door, "We mustn't let anyone see us."
"So those brats actually managed it this time hu

"I canno' believe we're free again," Olivia said joyfully as she and Fievel ran across the desert toward Green River, "Where do ye think we should go?"
"We know what's gonna happen with Basil and Nellie, they're gonna get a visit from Chula and Fidget. If we don't wanna get caught again, maybe we should go someplace else."
"Think we could go to yer family?" Olivia asked.
"Hm, maybe. They'll see that Ratigan and Waul have been lying the moment they see us alive."
"And I jus' know yer family's been missin' ye."
Fievel looked forward to seeing his family again, he'd missed them dearly. And after weeks of being locked in that cage, the

Chula and Fidget both hobbled into the saloon at sunset, neither of them overly thrilled about having to deal with Nellie Brie, and possibly Basil. But, they were deputies now, it was time to live up to the title. Fidget had a revolver at his hip in case things got nasty.
"So this Basil guy, pretty tough cookie is he?" Chula asked as they sat down at the bar.
"You've got no idea," Fidget sighed, "The guy's some kinda super genius. He finds his way out of anything. I think he's the only guy I know smarter than the boss."
"Hehe, I bet that's because your boss is too stubborn to just shoot him."
"You're probably right," Fidget gave a sho

Cat R. Waul and Professor Ratigan walked back into the cavernous mine again, flanked by Chula, Fidget, Simon and Sammy. They had much to discuss, and the mine would be more private than the saloon.
"I say, I think the rally went over quite well if I do say so," Waul said, "We have those mice eating from our paws. And of course, once we're fully in charge, we'll be able to eat a few more of them out of our paws."
"Oh yes indeed," Ratigan gave a pleased chuckle, "First Green River, then Utah, then America."
Chula looked over at Fidget, who was still staring down unhappily as he hobbled along.
"What's the matter, can't take a few jibes f

The main street of Green River bustled with activity as the stage for Ratigan's rally was being set up by Waul's cat gang, near the Sheriff's office. No one noticed Tiger slip by with three mice that morning, there was too much to focus on. The polls were going to open the following day, and everyone was eager to hear what plans Ratigan had in store for the town.
Having been up until his usual late hours, Tony needed to be shaken awake by Bridget after she got out of bed and got dressed and ready.
"Tony, wake up," she said, "Yer gonna miss the rally."
Tony groaned and rubbed his eyes, having gotten about five hours of sleep. The events

Nellie and Basil sat beside one another on the sofa having some morning tea, Basil wearing his robe while Nellie was still in her night gown, her hair undone and down to her shoulders. It was still dark outside, they were taking some time to relax before going to fetch Tiger in the next room so they could go on their expedition. The two of them were looking over their old letters, reminiscing on the years past, going into more detail on their reportings to one another.
"And such a simple device was enough to make all of New York think there was a 'night monster' after them?" Basil asked with amusement.
"Hey, they fell for Warren, and Waul

The weeks had felt like an eternity to Olivia. She sat looking over the edge of the cage, with Fievel by her side, as two of the orphan mice, Chula and One-Eye watched over everyone imprisoned at the mine. It was late at night now, One-Eye had dozed off but the others were playing cards near Hiram's workbench. Fievel and Olivia exchanged glances.
"A-are you sure this is gonna be a good idea?" Fievel whispered worriedly.
"Yer sick o' bein' in this cage aren't ye?" she whispered back, "We got to at least try something."
The two of them had had a lot of time to plan this scenario out, with input from Hiram and Wylie. In the last two weeks

The trip to America had been long and restless for Basil. The first ship he had found bound for America was an uncomfortable cargo ship. He didn't care, he climbed a rope and snuck aboard, spending the entire trip across the Atlantic among crates and barrels. Some of the rats aboard the ship were pleasant to talk to, but Basil could really only think about one thing. Ratigan was alive, in Green River, was terrorizing the Flavershams, and was within the same city limits as Nellie Brie.
Basil had taken Nellie's letter with him. He wished he could have run some tests on it before he so hastily bolted out the door. It was type-written, meaning a
