Two days passed, and Demetri still hadn't returned.

"Prepare for attack, Sulfur. We attack at sundown." Macavity snarled as he stalked back to his den. Sulfur nodded with a dark grin. He turned his gaze toward the Jellicle alley. Only a few more hours, and the alley would be theirs.

Demetri and Aqua were sitting on the tire, waiting for Sapphire and Onyx so they could go hunt mice. The twins were running late, their parents wouldn't let them out right away. Sapphire suddenly showed up panting, with Onyx close behind.

"Sorry we're late! Mum and dad wouldn't let us out til we got our baths." Sapphire panted.

"It's fine. Let's go before the sun goes down!" Aqua replied as she leapt gracefully from the tire. Sapphire and Onyx followed with Demetri close behind. The friends walked over toward the area where mice would be roaming at this time.

The sun had finally gone down, and the Majestic's were lying in wait. The Jellicles would be completely unaware of their presence until it was too late. Sulfur watched as Munkustrap nuzzled his mate before she entered the den. She had no idea it would be his last night alive.

"Attack!" Macavity shouted, and the Majestic's charged into the alley.

Munkustrap heard the shout, and he leapt down to confront his enemies.

"Hello, Munkus." Macavity sneered as he stepped in front of his henchcats.

"Why are you here, Macavity?" Munkustrap snarled. A few more toms stood behind Munkustrap, in case of battle.

"You know why, Munkus." Macavity replied. It was almost as if he gave a signal for suddenly the Majestic's attacked. Macavity leapt at Munkus, and knocked him aside. The two toms battled for what seemed like an eternity. Munkustrap had knocked Macavity aside with a great slash of his claws, but Macavity retaliated. Munkustrap was tiring, and it seemed Macavity was getting stronger. As Macavity attacked again Munkustrap collapsed.

"Dad!" Aqua shouted. She leapt to go help him, but Demetri stood in her path.

"Stay here. I'll help your father." he said.

"But--" Aqua was beginning to argue.

"Aqua I love you, and I'm not about to lose you. Stay here." Demetri repeated. He took off towards Munkustrap and Macavity. Macavity was about to deal Munkustrap a final killing blow when Demetri leapt in front of him.
