She fights the goshawk with only a rockshard in her hand and kills it, drawing more attention to her from the rest of the group and the gang realizes just how tough, rough and fatal Russle is.

Chapter Five: Meerkat Empire: What Happened?: Russle and Ralp throw a celebration for the unusuall slaying of a talon bird, the very bird that attempted to turn Lacky into lunch. They feast on it and make the extremely addictive drink known as beetle-juice beer, a drink that Russle simply cannot resist. She and Ralph become drunk, ending with Russle passing out in the burrow entrance. She wakes up the next morning, trying to recall last night's events. She emerges and carries on a deep, emotional conversation with Ralph, who asks if she loves him. Russle and Ralph's conversation though, is enteruppted by Russle's daughter Bucky, who doesn't approve of her mother's actions the previous night. She leads the group out foraging after fighting to get Velvet to wake up, only to witness her daughter storm off into the brush.

Chapter Six: Meerkat Empire: The Breaking Point: Lacky, who did not get drunk on the previous night's celebration, awakens to a still, cool morning. She waits several minutes before getting out of her cozy spot amongst the group as she wants time to think and doesn't want to be the first one up. She waits until her neice Bucky rises up and begins to set for the den entrance. She realizes that something is nagging her and seeks out the reason above ground. Bucky, though, refuses to tell her the reason and continues to rage in a bad mood. The mood continues through the early moments of foraging. During which time, Lacky stays clear of Bucky as she has never seen her this angry and fears that her change of mood will be as unpredictable as her sister Russle's. However, Bucky does not forage for long and, after cursing a lost prey item, she storms off into the tall grass. Lacky raced to where Russle was enjoying the cool morning breeze and tranquil lighting and told her of her daughter's behavior and the two set out to find her.

However, Bucky is defyant, thus leading to a vicious fight between Russle and her only remaining daughter that results in Russle's easy victory and Bucky receiving a new wound that will later become a scar over her left eye.

Lacky attempts to compfort Bucky with stories of her long lost sister Lucidia Cobra.

However, they end up crossing paths with the one meerkat who could solve all their problems.
