Sorry for not explaining in the first chapter. Old Deuteronomy's death will be explained in this chapter. Munkustrap's disappearance will be later on.

This chapter is about what happened before and during the death.

I might not be able to update quickly. Gotta rehearse for the auditions (which is in 6 days)!

Macavity and his young assistant, Griddlebone, were lounging in his office. Well, Griddle was lounging. Macavity was busy at work creating a new plan. Griddle sighed and flopped onto her stomach, idly picking at her claws. Macavity stood up sharply, making Griddle accidentally cut her paw.

"It's perfect," Macavity chuckled.

"What is?" Griddle asked lazily. Macavity stood up and tossed a folder at her. She opened it up and found herself staring at a picture of an old grey and brown tom. "Who's this?"

"That, my young apprentice, is Old Deuteronomy," Macavity replied.

Griddle perked up. "Oh! The Jellicle leader!"

Macavity nodded. "Yes. And he is the ticket to taking down the Jellicles."

"So…you're going to kill him?" Griddle asked with uncertainty.

Macavity grinned and patted her head fur approvingly. "Ah, I knew when your father left you in my care you would be good use to me."

Griddle's expression turned to sadness. "But I still miss him…"

"I miss Growltiger, too," Macavity replied. "But he's off on his own business. He still writes to you. Anyways, please round up my best henchcats. I shall see you at the Meeting Room in 10 minutes." Griddle bowed and dashed out of the room, in search of Macavity's best henchcats.

"Alright toms," Macavity barked. "Remember: watch out for the little conjurer. The others aren't as dangerous. Let's move out! "

Griddle watched sadly as they left. She had wanted to go, but Macavity ordered her to watch over the warehouse while he was gone.

Macavity ducked behind the TSE – 1 car while his henchcats took position. He watched the Jellicles silently, waiting for the right moment to strike. A few minutes passed, and Macavity could feel the readiness of his henchcats. He raised one paw to signal he was ready. They extracted their claws, ready to leap out. Macavity snapped his fingers and made the lights in the junkyard flicker and the car alarm go off.

"HAHAHA!" Macavity gave an evil laugh as the Jellicles turned towards him, frightened.

"MACAVITY!" Demeter shrieked. She quickly grabbed Jemima and held her close. Munk stood protectively in front of her.

"NOW!" Macavity yelled. His henchcats leaped out of their hiding places.

The Jellicles screamed as they were hit, scratched, and bruised by Macavity's henchcats. Jennyanydots and Jellylorum rounded the kittens up, including Jemima, and hid in a den underground. Macavity appeared in front of the tire where Old Deuteronomy was laying. He grabbed him and pulled him into standing position, keeping his sharp claws on the base of Old Deuteronomy's throat. The Jellicles stopped in fear as they helplessly watched their leader being held against his will.

"Let him go, Macavity!" A voice called out. Macavity looked to see the small tuxedo tom standing in front of the others. His chest was puffed out and his paws had tiny blur sparks dancing off of them.

"Now, why would I want to do that?" Macavity asked sarcastically.

"Want do you want from us?" Munk spoke up angrily. "Haven't you done enough damage to us?"

"It's my revenge," Macavity snarled. "This is what you get when you – my old best friend – turned your back on me when I was banished!"

"I only did it to protect my family!" Munk retorted.

"And I wasn't family to you?!" Macavity screeched. "We did everything together since we were kittens! We were like brothers!"

"Not anymore," Munk spat. "I stopped being your friend and 'brother' when you and your father killed those innocent queens and kittens."

"Don't forget you killed my father as well!" Macavity brought up bitterly.

"He killed him because he tried hurting us!" Alonzo snapped as he walked up to Munk's side. "We could have died!"

Macavity gave a sickening grin. "Which is why I'm killing your leader. You killed my father, so I'll kill Munk's and Tugger's." Macavity raised his claws, but was stopped when a bolt of electricity came flying at him. He whipped around to face Misto. "Hold him down," Macavity ordered his henchcats, throwing Old Deuteronomy in their direction.

"I meant it when I said 'let him go'," Misto snarled.

"How dare you use your magic on me," Macavity growled darkly. "You need to be taught a lesson."

The Jellicles and the henchcats stepped back as both Macavity and Misto began shooting their magic at each other. Their magic colors were mixed together or blue and red (red was the color of Macavity's magic). Misto managed to hit Macavity straight on, and he went flying backwards into a pile of junk. Macavity bared his teeth and lunged at the small tom. They both went tumbling to the ground and spun across the clearing. Misto was pinned down on his back as Macavity swiped at Misto's face, leaving three ugly scratch marks across his cheek. Misto groaned in pain and shocked Macavity off of him. Blue and red sparks flashed between them. Suddenly, a bright white light shone when each other their sparks made contact. Everyone shielded their eyes from the harsh light. The light died down, and they looked to see Macavity standing over an unconscious Misto. He smirked and grabbed Old Deuteronomy once more.

"I want everyone to watch me kill your precious leader," Macavity barked. "Henchcats, grab a Jellicle and force him to watch!" His henchcats did as told. Munk and Tugger where dragged to the front and dropped onto their knees. They were bound at their wrists and ankles, and the henchcats yanked their heads back so they were watching.

"Father…" Munk moaned.

"It will be alright, Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger," Old Deuteronomy said. "I will be sent to the Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a different life. I have enjoyed being your father and the leader of the Jellicles."

"Shut up," Macavity snarled. He raised his paw and brought it down.

"NO!" Munk and Tugger yelled. Macavity licked his claws clean as Old Deuteronomy's lifeless body dropped next to him.

"All better," Macavity grinned evilly.

"You b****rd!" Tugger yelled. "You sick, evil tom!"

"Let them go," Macavity ordered his henchcats lazily. "My job here is done."

The henchcats did as they were told. With another snap of his fingers, Macavity and his henchcats were gone. Munk and Tugger ran numbly up to their father. Tugger buried his face into his father's cold fur and sobbed loudly. Munk held his baby brother and dead father in his arms, weeping along with Tugger. The Jellicles bowed their heads in sadness. Munk stood up an hour later, saying a funeral was to take place the next day. Alonzo brought over a human blanket and covered the body of their former leader.

It was over. Old Deuteronomy was dead.

Macavity had won.

Sorry it's short. Meanie Macavity =/
