I have not, nor will I ever own the Underland chronicles. I do however own Max, Cloudyfur, Sharpclaw, Chaos, Bloodpool, Bloodclaw, Whiptail and Euphoria so ask before you use them, got it.

Prologue

"Gregor, Gregor get up," however Gregor was fairly certain that he did not want to get up, but the voice would not let him sleep

"Gregor," the voice, a females, yelled "Ripred why won't he wake up?" what kind of name was Ripred?

"Any moment now I imagine," said an arrogant tired voice, most likely Ripred.

Gregor moaned wondering why his head hurt so much as he tried to sit up but even with his eyes closed he knew that it would hurt to get up so he opened his eyes instead. The first thing he saw was the giant rat, who to his surprise spoke.

"Like I said any moment," the rat said almost amused "thought you could fight grav- why are you looking at me that way, lost your nerve?" Gregor realized that he must look terrified, after all he had never seen a giant talking rat, especially one who seemed to know who he was.

Gregor turned to see a little girl sitting next to a giant bat, but how could he see when there was no discernable light source anywhere. He felt like he should know her name because he was certain that she was the one who spoke his name, but he had no idea who she even was.

"Gregor, oh why did you jump?" she was frantic her breathing long and shallow then suddenly a light appeared in the hands of a human, an old man, riding on a big grey bat and she saw the confusion on his face "why are you looking at me that way?"

"Because I have no idea who you are, where we are, and why does my head hurt so much?"

"because you jumped" said the rat but this time the rat was alert as he jumped in front of Gregor "Tell me who is Luxa?

"Who?" Gregor had never heard such a weird name before, but then again Ripred wasn't common either.

The grey bat landed next to the other bat, auburn in color, and the old man got off the bat and started talking to the rat.

"we are trapped, Bloodpool's rats have taken the river and the tunnels from whence we come have collapsed," the old man paused sighing as he looked at Gregor "Luxa, Aurora and Howard are no where to be found. Overlander, what say we do?"

"He can't remember who Luxa is," Ripred said then in a singsong voice "love forgotten, now love lost." turning to Gregor "poetic isn't it? We have more pressing things on hand past these tunnels is the uncharted land and since Vikus and his bat are too old, Lizzie is too young, and the Warrior here can't remember a thing; that leaves only me and Euphoria to take care of you all."

"How came his memory loss?"

"He jumped," the auburn bat said "I barely managed to slow his fall." Gregor noticed the bat sounded anything but Euphoric.

Suddenly Euphoria's ears and Ripred's nose both shot into the air. "They are coming and too many for us" Euphoria said then Ripred said "everyone get into that cave; Vikus, Lizzie keep your flames lit." Then he turned to Gregor, "Can you fight?"

"Fight what?" Gregor thought but sudden shapes coming around the corner gave his answer

Rats.
