Chapter… rescue!!! Enjoy :D:D:D:D:D
–––––––––––––––––
Bombalurina peeked around the corner of Macavity's warehouse. Behind her, Munkustrap, Tugger, Alonzo, Coricopat, Misto, Tumblebrutus, and Pouncival waited with baited breath(AN: cool it rhyyymes :D). Pouncival actually wasn't supposed to be there, but he had threatened to tell Jenny and Jelly, so they had to take him. Demeter had always been like a second mother to him. Jenny was always busy with the other kits, whether they were hers or not. When she wasn't doing that, she was gossiping with Jelly. The only time Pouncival had his mom all to himself was when she tucked him into bed at night. Demeter was the only one who actually took care of him, and he'd be damned if he let her get taken away. Pouncival looked around and hoped no one had heard him. He wasn't allowed to cuss.
Finally, the henchrat that was guarding the door fell asleep. Just to be sure, Tugger grabbed a branch and whacked him on the head. Munku frowned. Why didn't they just do that in the first place?
Carefully, they went inside. It looked like a plain old warehouse, with one story and several construction items. However, Bombalurina could see a small staircase leading down on the other side, meaning this warehouse extended underground. Bombalurina sucked in a breath, considering her options. Finally, she turned around and whispered,
"Okay, when I say go, run like Heaviside to the door. Get rid of any resistance. Tugger, go get more of those branches."
Tugger quickly went outside, gathered seven more big branches, and gave them to the others rescuers. Bombalurina took an experimental swing. The wind whistled as she swung it. She nodded, thinking of braining Macavity. She exchanged one final glance with her companions, took a deep breath, and yelled,
"GO!"
–––––––––––––––––
Everyone ran like Heaviside. Rats that had been snoozing lightly jolted awake. Those that weren't immediately whacked on the head by Munkustrap fell victim to Tugger's cat-fu. A few of them made weak attempts to stop them, but all they ended up doing was falling on their faces. Finally they were at the door, sporting nothing but minor scratches. Bombalurina threw open the door and raced down the steps, three at a time. The others followed closely behind. At the bottom there was another door, which Bombalurina wrenched open. There were three paths, each leading to darkness. For a second, Bombalurina paused, weighing their options. But she could already hear the rats coming downstairs to catch them.
"Alonzo, Tumble, and Corico! Left side! Misto, Tugger, and Pounce, the right! Munku come with me! Find Dem!" Bombalurina barked. Quickly, everyone went off to their respective paths. Before going however, Munkustrap grabbed a small rickety chair and jammed it under the doorknob. That would keep them off for about two minutes.
The next ten minutes were spent opening doors and fighting off rats. Bombalurina could feel her body starting to tire, but she couldn't give up! Demeter was somewhere here, probably weak and broken. To think that she was the one to cause it… No, this was no time to think that. Demeter needed her.
As she was running down, she was suddenly stopped by a large rat, at least twice the size of a cat. He was so big all he had to do was hold out his hand and Bombalurina ran into it. In a deep voice, he boomed,
"Stop!!!!!" Bombalurina stopped. The big rat smiled. A real smile, not an "I'm-going-to-kill-you-extremely-painfully" smile. In fact, he seemed to be glad that someone had listened to him. Then he said, "Now, Oi 'ave o'ders to beat yoo goiys up and throw ya in tha dungeons."
Munkustrao and Bombalurina looked at each other.
"Oi do 'ope yoo don't take this too 'ard. Remember, it's nothin poisonal, just o'ders.(AN: Wow, I'm REALLY bad at writing accents!)" With that, he began to advance, pulling a crowbar out of nowhere. Bombalurina and Munkustrap began to back away, and Munkustrap muttered so that nobody but Bombalurina could hear him,
"Run. I'll fight him off."
"What?! No! You can't!"
"I can. This guy may be big, but that's all he is. I can easily beat him with pure brains. Trust me, Bombs."
"…Fine. Make sure to come back alive."
Munkustrap suddenly leaped up and clawed the rat's face. Stunned, he cried out and fell. "BOMBS! RUN!!" Munkustrap yelled. Bombalurina raced away from there as fast as she could, not looking back. Inwardly, she hoped that those words would not be the last ones she ever heard Munkustrap say.
