???: STOOP!!

The cats entered to the scene.

Cat: What are you doing initiating a couple of domestics?

Snowball: Domestics?

Cat: Yeah, We just jumped these two in the alley. Slashed off their collars. And that female one over there was invading other alleys stealing food.

Stella: *mouthed* What?!

Cat: We slashed her collar too.

Snowball: No, no, no. That- that's not true. You said you burned your collars.

Max: Well, "burned", "lost", "had them stolen by cats". It's all just words, really, isn't it?

Stella: Yeah, and I don't even have an owner, there must be s-some mistake.

Cat: Well perhaps this can clear up your minds *showing her collar*

Stella stood in shock, who thought that she wouldn't her collar ever again, until today. Max and Duke were looking at her shocked by surprise, Max has just unlocked an old memory of his.

Stella: *nervous* So what? That collar could belong to anybody. *talking between her teeth* Ugh! These cats are good.

Snowball: You don't deserve the be marked by the viper.

Max: Oh, no.

Duke: We'll just show ourselves out.

Snowball: You deserve to be EATEN by the viper! Get those leash lovers!

Stella: Let's get out of here!!

All the animal got the three dogs surrounded as their boss ordered. The next thing that happens was Duke heading towards the viper's tail while Max and Stella where still surrounded. Stella wasn't going to stay there and do nothing, so she decided to help Duke. Both dogs fought some animals and Duke bites the vipers tail spinning it around mocking animals away.
Stella got pushed away by the other animals and a guinea pig took her hat making her angry.

Stella: HEY! You little fur ball, come back here!

She starts chasing the Guinea pig,  after a short parkour chase between the two, she finally got it back and placed it back to her head. But she gets hit by the snake's tail making her slip and was almost going to fall off the edge. But her hat fell on the water.

Max: Go get 'em Duke! Whoa!

Then Snowball gets hit by the snake's tail into the sewer water, Duke let's go of the snake and gets tied around a pole. But he didn't notice Stella on the edge.

Stella: Umm... A little help here?.

Duke was helping Stella lift to the platform, when one of the crocodiles tried to her by the tail, scaring her. But somehow the fright helped her propel herself forward. The next thing they realize is that their noses touched. The two looked into each other's eyes and they broke apart at the second, Duke was blushing so hard that he looked away embarrassed while Stella just froze.

Meanwhile with Max, the viper corners him at the edge of a platform and strikes, the pole hold it and then it starts to break away from the ceiling and a pile of bricks fall into the viper's head, then a judge chunk of ceiling squashed on it bursting into flames

Max: Uh, fellas, that was an accident.

Snowball: YOU SQUISHED THE SACRED VIPER! *sobs* he's a flapjack! *sobbing* Oh, viper! Viper, you in a better place! You and Ricky! *more sobbing* You ain't never did nothing to nobody! Well, you hit a lot of people, Viper. So, technically, you might actually deserve this. This might be something that was long overdue. But it shouldn't have came like this! Not on my watch!

GET 'EM!

Duke: Oh, no! Come on!

The animals swarm to the trio. Duke picks up Max with his mouth while Stella sees her hat still on the water, but a crocodile was approaching to it, so she just onto it and picks it up and flee sliding down the brick columns with her hat in her mouth. Duke hits a turtle that ends up knocking the other animals (Super Mario Bros reference.). They head to a tunnel, he spits out Max, and Stella puts on her hat back on

Max: WAIT UP, DUKE!

Ripper runs after them with Snowball riding on his back, with all the pets running after them.

Max: We're sorry! Can this be over now?

Duke: We have a problem!

Stella: We have so many problems.

Max: Which one do you mean at this moment?

They see that the tunnel ends in a shaft where many other tunnels drain into a pool of waterfalls  below.

Stella: Oh, your right, that is a problem.

Snowball: STOP RUNNING, DUMMIES! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!

Duke: Hold your breath!

Max: Hold my breath? *gets pushed by Duke*

Stella: Wait! I can't *gets pushed by Duke* SWIM!!

AAAAAAHHHH!!

The trio was swiftly flowing in a river-tunnel.

Max: This is my least favorite part of this whole thing so far.
