Now as Megatron began to put his Justice Lord plan into action, Callie began to train herself in the use of magic. Her teacher was none other than Queen Callista herself. And with the training came a real bonding experiences for the two of them. Within a week, the two she-kat became more closer then sisters.

But today, the first test would begin.

Callie drew a shaky breath as she ascended the long staircase of the castle's Mage Tower, willing her heartbeat to slow down. She was very nervous, and rightfully so. Today she would face her very first test as an apprentice, the Fade of Dreams. She had no idea what it entailed, but she knew that it was dangerous. She had heard from her fellow apprentices that taking the trip into the Fade of Dreams would also lead to her death if she failed. Although she was a talented apprentice mage herself, she did not allow that to overshadow the possibility of failure. Callie knew that she could very well be another apprentice that would die, if she could not complete the first test.

Also, she would never be with Jake again as well. Callie dared not let that thought get into her head, she needed to stay focused.

She stopped in front of the door of the Fade of Dreams chamber, the final level of the Mage Tower. She closed her eyes to ready herself. She did not pray to the Heavenly Father; instead she opened her eyes, filled with determination, and whispered 'I can do this' quietly to herself. The knight, Sir David who had...accompanied her kept his distance her. The David said nothing, though she could sense that he was nervous as well. He was always nervous when it came to mages. Taking a deep breath, she slowly turned the doorknob and entered the chamber.

Queen Callista's knights of the Royal Order stood dutifully and grim, eyeing her as she walked through. She tried her best to ignore them, used to their constant stares. Queen Callista, her mentor and dear friend, was there as well of course, a faint smile forming on her lips as she entered. Knight-Commander Tabor, leader of the Royal Order, was present as well. Behind him was Carter, probably the nicest warrior Callie had ever met. When their eyes found each other, Carter quickly looked away nervously.

"Magic exists to serve katkind," Knight-Commander Tabor began, "it was never meant to rule over us. Thus spoke the Prophet Logan Keenwell as he cast down the Dark Brotherhood, ruled by the Pastmaster and his army of dark sorcerers that brought the world to the edge of ruin five hundred years ago."

"I know the of this story," Callie nodded. She had read the books about the history of magic from the queen's personal library.

The queen looked around at her knights. "Knights of the Royal Order, leave us," she commanded. The knights bowed and left the chamber without uttering a word.

Callie stood before Callista. Two of the queen's handmaidens walked up and began to help Callie undress. Soon, the only thing of clothing she had on was her panties. The handmaidens began cover her body in sweet smelling oil and used paint to mark her body. Callista smiled and drew a small knife.

"Your magic is a gift, but it is also a curse. For the demons that dwell in the Fade of Dreams, are drawn to you, and will seek to use you as a gateway into this world." the queen said, then dipped the knife into a jar filled a bright blue cream. "This is one of the Rites of Passage a mage must go through Callie," said taking hold of Callie's arm.

"This cream will put you in a trance," she then stuck the tiny blade into Callie's arm, "and will help you relax."

"Okay," Callie said nervously, ignoring the pain that shot through her arm.

Queen Callista could feel the bond between her and Callie growing. She loved her and wanted to share some final words of advice for her student.

"Beware the seven demons!" she warned, helping Callie to lay down. "Anger. Pride. Lust. Envy. Sloth. Gluttony. Wrath. Once you encounter them, you will be tempted to give in to their power they offer. For if you fall to their temptation, a heavy price is paid for the power they bring."

Callie looked up at the queen in confusion. "Price?" she asked. "What do you mean?"

"The seven demons beckons," Queen Callista said dramatically. "But if you start down that path, forever will they dominate your destiny. Consume you it will...as it did the creator of time travel magic."

Callie nodded. She knew who Queen Callista meant. "The Pastmaster," she said.

"Indeed," Callista replied.

Then Callie began to feel dizzy and drowsy. Before long, she fell asleep. Callista stood up and stepped back. Make me proud, Callie. The queen thought to herself.

Two hours later…

Jake, Chance and the others waited in the main courtyard for the queen to appear and tell them is Callie had passed her first test. The waiting was starting to stress Jake out and he began pacing back and forth around the courtyard. No one would blame him for feeling worried about Callie. He loved her. And Jake and Callie had already planned to get married in the winter seasons, because it was the perfect part of the year to wed.

"Jake, sit down," Chance said, sounding rather calm to any kats nearby. "Callie will be fine."

Jake stopped and looked at his best friend. "I can only hope," was his reply, then went back to walking around.

He stopped and spun around when he heard Max shout, "The queen has returned from the tower!"

And sure enough, Queen Callista walked out with Callie by her side. The lovely she-kats looked around at all the knights and people waiting in the court yard.

Jake smiled. "You did it!" he cheered.

She turned to see Jake beaming at her.

He breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm so glad you're alright. They wouldn't let me go up there to check on you, and I thought the worst. So many don't ever return so I..." He shook his head. "Anyway, is it really that dangerous? What was it like?"

Callie looked at the queen for permission to tell him about her experiences in the Fade of Dreams. Callista was hesitant at first, but she eased up and gave her star pupil a nod. Now as Callie told Jake about what she had gone through in the Fade of Dreams.

That night, the queen was looking over the some of the names of knights that were requesting a transfer to Carter's elite royal bodyguards. Among the names was Johnny and Max, the two of them had wanted to join the royal bodyguards, but they had still much to learn. And even if they did join, she would have to send them back to the future after Lord Darkclaw was eliminated.

That was when she put down down the scroll and thought about when she first met Jake. Why she was thinking about him now puzzled her. Was it that she still had feelings for the handsome hero? Or was it that she felt a little jealous of Callie.

Queen Callista wanted to see if Jake was awake and what he was doing if he was, so with a smile, Queen Callista turned to her magic mirror. "Maldor! Servant in the mirror, come forth from darkness, I call to you," she chanted.

The mirror lit up as fire filled the glass, a wind blew around the room as a face shrouded in the flames appeared. The servant of the mirror smiled at the lovely queen, his eyes glowed bright green as he waited for her to speak.

"What is thy bidding, my queen?" Maldor asked, his green eyes now dimmed to a glow.

"Show me Jake Clawson," Callista commanded.

Maldor smiled. "As you wish," he replied.

The mirror filled with a silver smoke as the image of Jake appeared. He was awake all right, but he was also in his boxer shorts. Queen Callista felt her face heat up. She wanted to turn away, but seeing Jake in his boxers was keeping her from doing so. That was when Callie showed up in her new night gown and climbed into the bed.

A huge grin filled Jake's face as he walked over to the bed.

Callie giggled as she scooted over to the far right end of their bed and pulled down the covers on the opposite side, inviting Jake into the warmness and comfort. Jake, whose grin remained on his face, slid into the bed and wrapped his muscular arms tightly around his beautiful Callie. Then he kissed her and said, "I love you, Callie."

Callie let out a dreamy sigh. "And I love you too, Jake." Then she wrapped her arms around his neck as the two lovebirds began a passionate make-out session. Unaware that they were being watched by the queen.

Finally, the queen turned and told Maldor to return back to his world. Callista felt her body heat up, she needed a drink. There was a bottle of wine that she kept in the old walk in closet next to the mirror. She took a solid tug off of it as she babbled to herself, "this is crazy...this is really crazy!" Queen Callista took one more swig before returning the bottle to where she found it.

I can't be lusting after Callie's future husband. It wrong, but...I still love him. She told herself, as her heart beat faster just by imagining that it was her making out with Jake. Sitting back down on the bed, Queen Callista began to cry. Her heart was breaking, she still loved Jake, but it was Callie that Jake loved. Why did she even think that she could compete with Callie.

With tears in her eyes, the lovely queen looked back at the mirror. Standing back up, she stripped down, removing her royal crown. Taking off that fine pink dress, and pinged off those tan panties. She could see her bust fully exposed, Callista had aged well, her hips still held that hourglass figure. Thoughts of having Jake's arms wrapped around her body sent tingles down her back.

Sitting back down on the bed, legs crossed, day dreaming as she stared at herself in the mirror, with a leisurely smile on her face. Queen Callista grew weary and aroused by her own thoughts, and began to masturbate. Her fingers would substitute for now.

"Mmmm..." Queen Callista slowly let out, with a sigh of desire, as she continued to pleasure herself.

She laid down on her back, surrounded by her lavish, royal bed adorned with fine, silk pink fittings, stuffed with the softest feathers money could buy.

She quietly let out another small moan, and softly arched her back as she continued to finger herself, her hot, slick pussy creating small jolts of immense pleasure as she rubbed her clitoris, and moved her index and middle finger rhythmically in and out of herself.

With her free hand, she caressed her small, erect nipples. She alternated between squeezing and fondling her left breast and working her aroused nipple as her fingers slid in and out of her. Callista's hips automatically moving back in forth with the motion.

She rubbed faster and faster around her clit, working it back and forth... it felt amazing, she was so close...she went faster and faster, rubbing harder and harder until suddenly her hot pussy erupted with a flood of sexual pleasure as she brought herself to climax.. "I will have you, Jake!" She cried out with a loud moan as her womanhood tightened, and her body shook with delight as she finally had her release.

With her sexual urges now dying down, Queen Callista drifted off to sleep, with dreams of having Jake as hers. But in her heart, she knew he would still choose Callie in the end.

But while the queen and her people slept, things in the future were turning out to be real bad.

Megatron had been slowly taking over, first it was dealing with most of the criminals in the city, now it was time to take control of the courts and City Hall.

He had heard about how Mayor Manx was talking about resigning from office, but then that would mean the new mayor might interfere with his Justice Lord plan. So, it was time to drop by and give Mayor Manx a good talk.

As the android entered City Hall, the security guards tried to stop him, but that was a mistake. Megatron fought them off with very little effort. Inside the Mayor's office, Manx was afraid for his life, so he picked up his phone and tried to dial the Enforcers, but all he heard was static. His fear began to become evident on his face as the rouge android entered his office.

"Can I help you, Megatron?" Mayor Manx said, trying to keep the fear hidden from gaze of Megatron.

"Yes," Megatron replied. He walked up to the mayor's desk and picked up a photo of Callie standing beside the mayor when she was first hired by the city to be its deputy mayor. "You can forget about stepping down as mayor, because this job will help me keep this city safe."

"Why, I'm no longer fit to be mayor," Manx complained.

Megatron frowned. "I'm sorry. I can't allow it right now. You're just another pawn in my game I need," he said.

"But what good would I be to you? I never did anything but throw all my work on Callie. She did all the paper work, went to all the ribbon cuttings, while I did nothing…Except play golf all the time. Folks aren't gonna be too happy if I stay in office," Mayor Manx said.

"They seem happy enough to me. And if there is no election, the people will never have to worry about me closing the ballot boxes for the voters. There's a lot more to lose."

Mayor Manx gave what Megatron said some thought. He was right. There was a lot more to lose.

"True enough. So what do I need to do to help keep the people happy?"

"Patience, Mr. Mayor. Patience." Megatron smiled, before turning to leave. And when he was gone, Mayor Manx breathed a sigh of relief.
