Grabbing a nearby rock from the ground, Texas called to the charging hyena. "Scraps! Get the rock!" She hurled the rock with all her might, the feral hyena instantly becoming distracted by the projectile stone, and changing course to retrieve it as asked. As well trained as Scraps was when it came to knowing tricks, Scratch and Sniff didn't play with the feral that often, making Scraps easy to sway with a simple proposition of fun.
With the feral distracted, Texas turned her attention to the steamroller, which Sniff was still trying to power up. Sprinting as fast as she could, the weasel made for the vehicle, reaching it just in time, and leaping into the cabin. "Hi Sheriff." Sniff cackled as Texas dared to enter the confined space, throwing out a swift elbow which slammed into Texas' face, knocking her from the steamroller once more. "Sorry, no back seat drivers." Slapping the engine with a mighty hit, Sniff coaxed the run down steamroller to start, a mighty roar echoing out as it did so.
Lying dazed in the dirt, Texas squinted as the hot sun burned down on her, blinding her peripheral almost entirely. She didn't see until something large loomed over her, blocking out the sun with its immense girth. "Well look who it is." Scratch cackled. having seemingly managed to slip the lasso without Scrap's assistance. "It's our favourite weasel, sheriff Texas Stamp-on!" Texas recovered from the elbow just in time to see a large, musty paw pad rise over her head, before coming down with brutal intent.
As quick as a flash, Texas' hands shot up to catch the foot, halting it in place, though struggling against it as Scratch started to apply her weight. "Damn rat, you ruined my punchline." Scratch snarled, leaning forward to apply as much weight to Texas as she could. The foot started to descend, but slowly, and Texas knew that Scratch was far from patient. The hyena was predictable, and Texas braced for what she knew came next: Scratch would raise her back leg. All the hyena's weight would surely crush Texas, but there would be a brief window for Texas to respond if she was quick enough.
