Amberpaw, or Cr. Terrible, was standing in front of a small bundle of fans.
He was in the process of giving them an update on his evil doings.
"Right. Any questions?"
"Hey, where's the prey you were going to pull out of that fresh-kill pile using your beam-thingy? It obviously failed or else we would've heard it mentioned at a gathering."
"Well, no, Shadowclan wouldn't tell cats that someone stole their prey. It's a sign of weakness.
But, behold, transported from there-"
Cr. Terrible grabbed a large bowl-shaped leaf sitting next to him and placed it where the crowd can see it's contents. It was a liquid and scarlet colored with a gray tint,
"-to here! Erm, the insides tend to shift during the transporting event. But they were transported in prey-form and they were clearly- And, by the way, it isn't about eating prey, it's about taking it. Destroying the warrior code. The forest is a mess and I just.. need to rule it, fix it. So, transporter-beam is nearly complete, and more importantly, the Freeze Ray is almost up. Well, who's next?"
A white cat stood up and began to speak, Amberpaw recognized this cat by their alias, RonnyFroze. The alias was quite laughable.
"Cr. Terrible, I see you are once again too much of a mouse-heart to have a battle with me, your nemesis. I waited at four-trees, you never showed up."
"Dude, you're not my nemesis. My nemesis.. is Ruler Beetle. Next."
"You always say in your updates you will 'show her the way, show her that you are a true villian'. Who is 'her' and does she even know you're a-"
Amberpaw was now in ThunderClan camp, waiting.
Hunting patrol,
He looked over to see Rosepaw,
See you there
Under things
Tumbling
Want to say,
Love your fur
Here I go,
Mumbling...
With my Freeze Ray
I will stop, the forest
With my Freeze Ray
I will find the time to
Find the words to
Tell you how
How you make
Make me feel...
What's the phrase?
Like a mouse-brain,
Kind of sick,
Special needs.
Anyways...
With my Freeze Ray
I will stop... the pain.
It's not a death ray or an ice beam,
That's all RonnyFroze,
I just think you need time to know
That I'm the tom to make it real
The feelings you don't dare to feel
I'll bend the forest to our will,
And we'll make time stand still.
That's the plan
Rule the forest
You and me
Anyday
"Love your fur"
"What?"
"Err,"
Amberpaw looked around for an excuse,
"Love the... burrs. Heh."
Anyways
With my Freeze Ray, I will stop.
Amberpaw waited impatiently for Damp to be back from getting his messages. Just as he was about to leave, he saw the gray-blue tom emerge from the bushes.
"Ah, Damp. Your back."
"I got your message delivered, and got your messages."
Damp gave him three leaves, paw prints on one side and messages on the other.
"Woah. I got a message from Bad Hawk."
Amberpaw put the leaf on the other side and-
"Bad Hawk, Bad Hawk
Bad Hawk, Bad Hawk
He flys across the forest, the purebred of sin
He got the message that you just sent in
It needs evaluation, so let the games begin
A heinous crime, a show of force
(A murder would be nice, of course)
Bad Hawk, Bad Hawk
Bad Hawk, he's bad
The Evil Tribe of Evil is watching, so beware
The grade that you receive'll be your last, we swear
So make the Bad Hawk joyful, or he'll make you his hen
Your strapped up; there's no recourse
Signed: Bad Hawk"
Amberpaw got Damp to get him a device to steal something called Wonderflonium. He held the device that controlled the mini-monster between his paws. Damp will get the wonderflonium case out of the actual monster and on the mini one.
Rosepaw P.O.V.
Rosepaw tried handing out leaves to cats passing by,
"Will you lend a caring paw
to shelter those who need it?
Only have to sign your pawprint
Don't even have to read it
Would you help- No?
How about you?"
Amberpaw P.O.V.
Amberpaw waited silently, the monster with the wonderflonium should arrive any second now.
"Would you lend a-"
"AAAaaa. H-hey, what is it?"
"Um, I'm out here volunteering for the Caring Paws Denless Shelter. Can you spare a moment?"
"Um,"
Amberpaw looked toward the place where the monster would show up soon,
"Okay, go."
"Okay, um, we're hoping to open a new location soon. Expand our efforts. There's this great spot nearby that isn't yet in our territory, but our leader is just going to use it for hunting. But, if we get enough pawprints-"
"Pawprints?"
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry. Go on."
"I was saying, um, maybe we could get our leader to donate the spot to our cause. We would be able to provide new nests, get cats without clans into.."
Rosepaw noticed Amberpaw keep looking back to see if the monster arrived,
"Your not really interested in the denless, are you?"
"No, I am, but- it's a symptom. Your treating a symptom, and the sickness rages on, consumes the cat race. The fish turns into crow-food from the head, as they say. So my thinking is, why not cut off the head?"
"Of the cat race?"
"It's not a perfect metaphor, but I'm talking about an overwork of the system. Putting the power in.. different paws."
"I'm all for that. This thing is about the spot."
"I'd love to sign."
Rosepaw gave him a leaf full of mud so he could sign his pawprint.
"Right, see you later."
Rosepaw walked away from him, Amberpaw returned to his spot by a tree, watching the thunderpath.
She talked to me... why did she have to talk to me now?
A toms gotta do
What a toms gotta do
Don't plan the plan
If you can't follow through
The monster arrived and Damp got the wonderflonium onto the mini-monster, and Amberpaw used his device to get it towards him.
All that matters is
Taking matters into your own paws
Soon I'll control everything
My wish is your command
Bravepaw leaped on top of the mini-monster.
"Stand back Everyone,
Nothin' here to see
Just imminent danger
In the middle of it, me
Yes, Ruler Beetle's here
Fur blowing in the Breeze
The day needs my saving expertise
Bravepaw smashed the thing on the mini-monster that gave Amberpaw control of it, then he leaped off. This caused the mini-monster to veer off towards Rosepaw.
A toms gotta do what a toms gotta do
It seems destiny ends with me saving you
Bravepaw shoved Rosepaw into a pile of twoleg rubbish to get her out of the monster's path,
The only doom that's looming is you loving me to death
So I'll give you a sec to catch your breath
Just before the mini-monster hit Bravepaw, Amberpaw got control of it and stopped it.
Amberpaw got his Cr. Terrible disguise on and approached Bravepaw,
"You idiot!"
"Cr. Terrible. I should've known you were behind this."
"You almost killed her!"
"I remember it differently"
"Is she-"
Bravepaw knocked Amberpaw into the mini-monster,
"It's lichen for you, Cr. Terrible. Soft, gently wafting lichen."
Rosepaw emerged from the pile of twoleg rubbish,
"Thank you Beetle-Tom
I don't think I can
Explain how important it was
That you stopped the monster
I would be splattered
I'd be crushed into debris
Thank you, sir, for saving me"
"Don't worry about it-
A toms gotta do what a toms gotta do"
Are you kidding?
What heist were you watching?
"Stop looking at her like that.
Did you notice he threw you into the rubbish?"
I stopped the monster
The controls were in my paw
"Whaatever"
Amberpaw got the Wonderflonium and began to walk away.
A/N: This took a while. Hope Y'all like it.
