Chapter 3 "Mysterious Murder in the Junkyard!"

"Mysteria! Mysteria wake up!"
"Gya! What, is the tide coming in?"
"Mysti, I had a vision!"
The black and white queen's eyes filled with happiness. "Your first vision! That's wonderful, Felis!"
"No, it's not wonderful, sis. Uncle Shadow's in trouble. We need to save him!"
The magical queen's face went from happy to shocked. "You're serious? Well, then we'd better tell Mommy and–"
"There's no time; It'll be too late. We have to save Uncle ourselves! Where'd he say he was going?"
"To the outskirts behind the yard. Come on, I know a shortcut!"
as the two siblings ran off into the night to save their uncle, a large gray figure crept out of the water. It was black spotted with gold glaring eyes and rows of sharp teeth; it was a leopard seal.

"Shadow! Uncle! Oh, Uncle Shadow, where are you?" the two magic siblings searched the yard's outskirts for hours, but there was no sign of their uncle.
"Oh, maybe we should just go back, Felis. Usagi and Munkustrap can form a search party and–"
"NO, Sis! My namesake said we're the only ones that can save him. We can't give up!" he then spotted something shining in the moonlight. "What's that?"
They got closer. "It's Uncle Shadow's switchblade!" Mysti mewed. "We're getting closer!"
The two kept searching and calling out for the black tom, until at last, "UNCLE SHADOW! NO!" they found him. The poor tom was lying in a pool of his own blood, his body still and lifeless. There was no movement as the kittens ran up to him. At the sight of the blood, Mysti held back. "Is…is he…"
Felis placed a paw on his uncle's neck. "He…he's not breathing…a-and I can't feel a pulse. I… I think he is de–"
"NO!" Mysteria through her paws around Shadow's neck and cried. But…as she did, "Mysti…you…you're glowing!"
"I don't care! Oh, Uncle Shadow! Why? Why didn't we get here sooner? I'm SORRY! WWWHHHAAAAAA!"
The minutes felt like hours and the world seemed to stand still as the glowing Mysteria continued to cry for her uncle…when suddenly…there came a whisper. "Mysteria, it's hard to breathe with you on me, kid."
"*gasp* Uncle Shadow! You're alive!"
The black tom struggled to his feet. "*groan* Yeah, I am… thanks to you two; *pant* and to think I always laughed when your mother said you we're a blessing from Vivat. *gasp* Maj!" the wounded tom looked towards the yard and then back to the kittens. "Your mother and father are in trouble! We have to get back to the junkyard before it's too late!" Shadow tried to run but the pain was too much. Felis steadied the tom so he wouldn't fall over.
"You've lost too much blood, Uncle. You won't be able to walk; it's a wonder you can even stand."
"Yeah, Jenny might have to give you one of those transfusion thingies."
"But we have to get back! Macavity and Deravity are planning to trap your parents, or worse, kill them in revenge for the last time we thwarted their plans!"
Mysti looked around and saw the answer. It was an old orange crate with a rope handle. "Here," she purred as she pushed the crate towards her uncle, "jump into this and we'll pull you along."
Shadow looked at the box and then back at the yard. "Can't you just teleport us there with a spell?"
"Not unless you want one half of you to stay behind! I haven't mastered that spell yet and Daddy said it'll still be too risky to try out."
"*groan* Fine, but just step on it!"

"How much farther? Lives are at sake!"
"Mer rulmust dare!" Felis mumbled with his mouth full of rope.
"Well then run faster!" Shadow demanded.
"What do we look like, chariot horses?" Mysti thought as the three made their way to the yard. But as they drew closer, "May, muss ebry mon doon oudthide de ward? (Hey, what's everyone doing outside the yard?)"
The three ran up to the group and caught the eyes of the first commanders.
"Shadow! What in Vivat's name happened to you?" Usagi exclaimed
"I could ask you the same thing."
"A Leopard seal came out of nowhere and attacked the kittens. it took every cat in the yard to drive it off." Munk said.
"Y-You're saying there's no one in the yard now?"
"Well, yes. But–" Shadow jumped from the box and grabbed the gray tom. "YOU IDIOT! That seal was a diversion to get you guys away from Misto and Maj!" finding his strength, the black tom ran towards home, the twins close behind. But the sight of their home stopped them dead in their tracks. One side of the house was completely burned away, the word 'REVENGE' written in blood on the remaining wall and in the middle of the floor…were the charred remains of two cats!
