Chapter 1
March 1st 21:45
India, West Bengal
'watch your back' I growl to my best friend Mary as one of the idiotic spiderlings tries to take her from behind, she whirls and catches it in the middle, effectively cutting the thing in half as the dark red black blood sprays her. I turn and behead one of the spiderlings trying to take me, just for five more to take its place I look around to see me and mary surrounded by the spiderlings, she turns to look at me, I can see determination, and beneath that fear in her green, gold eyes. I know she will fight to the end, just like me. I give the signal and we spring into the hoards of spiderlings. Mary is quickly swept from my line of sight, into the deepening hoards of spiderlings. the last thing I see is the stick like arms and legs of spiderlings before everything goes black.

happy harbour
Super boy B04 the zeta tube announces as super boy walks out, towards where nightwing, blue beetle, wonder girl, miss martian, and beast boy are standing,
"team we have intell that black manta and his troops are having a huge buy on some sort of super weapon" nightwing says.
"what kind of super weapon?" miss martian asks curiously,
"we aren't sure." nightwing responds "the buy will go down in west bengal in a small town called kucing. I should tell you, you need to be careful, there have been sightings of tigers and other large felines around there, a lot."
"what are we suppose to be scared of a few tigers" super boy scoffs
"these tigers have been known as the protectors of the people for a long time, and they are said to attack any threats to the people or the land. The felines are said to be the judges of life and death for them."
" in other words these people worships big cats" blue beetle summs up.
"pretty much" nightwing replies.
"the buy is set to go down in the old warehouse on the edge of the village by the docks, with someone named the spider king at 9:30. Be careful.

unknown location
"ugh" I groan and roll away from the now wet puddle where I was just laying. I crack open my eyes to see a spiderling standing a few feet away holding a bucket, looking fairly nervous for such a stupid creature. I turned my head to see my best friend mary stuck to the wall of our cell if you could even call it a cell, it was the size of a broom closet. She groaned and rolled her head as I nudged her foot. Now that I know shes ok, I look back towards the spiderling. I stand up only wobbling once on my feet before my balance comes back. I stalk towards it slowly, it doesn't move, like I said before stupid creatures. I finally let out a growl and pounce at it, but something stops me with a gigantic shock to my body, I look down at myself to see a metal collar with lights on it. I look up towards the spiderling to see it holding some sort of remote, as its chittering at me, laughing. I growl at it and it shuts its mandibles pretty fast. It walks away. I turn and shrug as I go to check up on mary, she has a couple lacerations on her arms and legs from where the spiderlings grabbed her, and from where her body is still trying to heal. I nudge her again, trying to get her to wake up, she groans and opens her eyes.
"nymeria," she says my name.
"right here," I respond, she must have noticed the tone of my voice because after that she is immediately awake, and struggling to get out of her webbed bonds to the wall.
"oh my gosh, this better not be what I think it is," she practically shrieks.
"chill out," I growl at her " and yes it is" I say with a smirk as I draw my claws and swipe down through the web holding her to the wall.
"ugh gross," she says "how long have we been here" she asks after thoroughly cleaning the webbing off her dark black cloak. I watch her as she pads over to me,
"you sure you're good?" I ask quietly, she nods stiffly. We sit on the ground till I feel the muted tapping of stick like legs moving across the ground. We both prick our ears as we hear the sounds moving ever closer. Then, they are on us. Not just five or ten but plenty more, they swarm over us as we fight back, knowing its useless though. I give the command to stop fighting, wherever they are trying to bring us to we will end up there no matter what. All we're doing is wasting our energy. They carry us up into a warehouse I know all too well, through a huge hole in the ground, climbing the webbing like the spiders they are. We are passed off to some of the more human looking spiderlings, I look around and notice most of the spiderlings in this room look still mostly human. 'hmm must want to keep appearances up for whoever this important guest is,' I tell mary telepathically. I watch silent from under the large dark hood of my cloak as we are pulled into a spotlight as the spiderlings wrench our arms behind our backs, and tie them there. We don't have to wait long as I hear a familiar pair of feet approaching as well as many other pairs of unfamiliar feet mixed with the tapping of spider like legs. They continue to get closer, when they finally arrive in the main room, I watch as the spider king steps into the light as well as a man dressed in black armour with some sort of a messed up helmet, followed by a bunch of other versions of him but with different helmets and guns. The spider king starts going on about how we will be the best protection for him and his son, until the man in the suit interrupts,
"and how will these two young girls, be the best protection for me and my son" he inquires of the spider king.
"well now black manta, the light will greatly benefit, from having these two under their control, for example" he motions for the spiderlings behind mary, to release her, as I notice the guards doubles almost triples around the edges of the ware house. the man in the suit notices too,
"if they are so under control what are those for?" he asks about the extra security.
"even on its highest setting, those collars wouldn't be able to kill one of them." he says plainly.
They release mary from her binds and she looks to me 'go ahead' I tell her 'might as well' I think with a shrug ' that is exactly what I have been waiting to hear since I woke up' she thinks back with a grin. She charges the bigger stronger spiderlings and starts taking them out all without even having to shift. I watch her progress and notice a flash of blue out of the corner of my eye and turn my attention towards that spot to see a flash of blonde with a face behind a metal crate hiding them. Now that I am focusing I can smell them, five of them. None of which I have ever smelt before. Then I feel my ropes go slack and I realise that mary has cut them for me 'thanks' I tell her, 'no problem' she responds leaping away to deal with the other spiderlings but I know that if I don't take out the spider king soon there will just be more and more of them. It also kinda helps that the guest is watching mary and the spider king watching the guest, its way to easy to sneak up behind him and grab him round the throat. He screeches when I grab him by the throat and the guest and all of his troops turn on me now holding the spider king a few inches of the ground by his throat. I barely spare them a glance, until I hear the sound of new fighting across the warehouse, I know the sound of mary's fighting and that is definitely not it. I look over to see a boy in blue armour, a girl with blonde hair, a boy with dark shirt that has the superman insignia on it, a girl with green skin who I assume is a martian, and a shifter. This has caught the guests attention too for the guest has left and now it is just me, mary, the spiderlings, and the strange people. I look back to the spider king who is struggling in my hand. "take them off" I growl at him he whimpers and shrinks away from me, but after digging my nails into his jugular he takes it off and as I bring mary over, for she has defeated most of the spiderlings by herself and the rest are busy taking on the other strange people, he takes hers off as well. I drop him and he scurries back to his hole and down into the darkness. I turn to see the strangers have defeated most of their spiderlings, but more have seemed to appear from the shadows around them and I know we cannot just leave them like this, I point this out to mary and we jump in to help, I rip a few spiderlings off the shifter, only then realising he is green. Wierd. I soon jump away and only partially shift to my true form to help the blonde haired girl take on a particularly strong spiderling. When the rest of the spiderlings are mopped up, mary comes to stand behind me as we look upon the strangers,
'they are a weird looking bunch, aren't they?' she remarks in my head,
'yes, they are, but I don't suggest we linger here' I answer,
'should we bring them back to the temple?' she asks as I follow her line of sight to the blonde girl, where the metallic smell is coming from, not the sickly sweet smell of the spiderlings blood, but the smell of actual blood its been a while since we smelt that smell.
'no, they are strangers they could be harmful.' I respond 'come on' I say as she lingers as we turn to leave the strange humans behind.
We watched as the two young teens in the dark cloaks ran away from us, after helping us. It made no sense why would they just run from us?
"guys, they're running away." beast boy pointed out "who are they?" wonder girl asked a little awed, mind you we all were, we just watched one of them take out more of those spider things than all of us combined, while the other one held the largest spider humanoid thing of the ground by its neck.
"come on, manta's soldiers are still out there, we have to go after them" super boy says angrily, before running after them with the rest of us trailing after him. We see a flash of darkness disappearing around the corner ahead, we follow it around and through the city, up over houses, through alleys, and finally to the edge of town where there is a huge building that makes a rectangle around a concrete courtyard, the building is obviously run down, and we see the two teens up on the roof I fly up to cut them off as I wait for the rest of the team, me, beast boy appears first to come stand beside me while trying to keep the two teens from running off again, when I look closer I notice one looks around 17 while the other looks around 15. The older one turns towards us as the younger one crouches down on the edge of the roof leaning forwards to look at something over the edge. I am startled when the older one talks,
"why have you followed us here?" she asks calmly, but before I can get a word in otherwise superboy buts in,
"what do you mean why have we followed you, you were the ones who ran for no reason!" he retorts sounding angry and intimidating again as he steps forwards towards them.
"superboy" I say quietly as the younger one shuffles on her precarious perch on the edge of the building, I touch their minds as I feel a mind link, before an iron wall comes down baring their thoughts from me. The older one turns her hooded head towards me and says none too kindly
"i'm sorry martian, but I would rather not have my mind spilled for the world to see"
superboy turns on me,
"oh so now you are trying to paw through their memories too," he accuses me. I gasp and look away as the other three members are looking between us, and not watching as the younger one leans out further until she falls over the edge. I gasp and run to the edge of the building to see her disappear into a huge dark hole in the concrete. I hear a whisper of fabric as the older one jumps up beside me and jumps off the side of the building with a small wave to us, I can tell she is smiling. then we hear a few whoops of laughter, from the darkness, and then nothing.
I laugh as I let out a few whoops of laughter on the way down to the temple, I still can't believe they managed to keep up with us, no, I can't believe mary allowed them to follow her. 'There had better be a damn good reason for this, or so help me' I thought at her.
But she was simply thinking innocent thoughts, I can't help but let out small chuckle at this. I hit the net at the bottom of the shaft, one of the better back doors we have, I love the feeling of the wind knotting my hair. I roll off the net and watch from a hall as they are all looking down at the hole, and he boy in black is arguing with the green girl. I ignore this and shift down into my black serengeti cat form, I am inconspicuous with the number of stray cats that live in the temple with us, the only thing that sets me and the stray cats apart are the ice blue eyes flecked with silver. I look across to the other side of the net to see marry sitting there grooming herself also in cat form only hers is an abyssinian with green eyes flecked in gold. We watch silent as the boy in blue armour enters first closely followed by the others the moment they are all on the ground we flick our tails signaling the mob of stray cats to enter the room and they do they surround them, we enter the massive hoards and walk so that we are in front of them for they have taken on defensive stances and have circled protectively to protect each other,
'can we show them now' mary practically begs ' I can't wait to see their faces' she says with a smirk ' no, you know the plan' I rebuff lightly and I wave my tail again showing the strays they can disperse, and they do with respectful nods to us, and mary walks over to my side and we walk off down a tunnel into the shadows.
'lets let them do a little research on their own before we show them' I think this to her for I know they will look around and these halls are filled with ancient hieroglyphics and other oil paintings dating back to cave paintings with our kind on it, we are an old race. We are the protectors and guardians of mankind, we watched over them until they could watch over themselves, and when they left each other in the dust in the race for oil we picked the losers up, dusted them off, and sent them on their ways again. We are the felinethropes.
