Not mine, cept what is mine.

So I probably lied to you all. -.-

It's going to be more than two chapters I'm sure...

At LEAST three, I'm thinking.

Because I thought of a totally new and awesome way to end the story. -cackles evilly-

Forty-four reviews. Lawl, it's exactly as many reviews as Cat's Meow now! :3

evemiliana- XP Sorry about that, how did I manage to do that? Think my mind made Eve into Evil or something lawl...I had NO idea DSi's could go on the net, coool, now I want one. :3 Raven as in TeenTitans or is that just a random coincidence? I have a cat too. -cuddles Mikey- You can yell at Wally all you like by the way. Here are the final updates...

XxBloodsbanexX- Hopefully this fills you up, as it's the final installment. :D

sstoons3425- He wasn't supposed to be at first actually. It just hit me and I was all muahahaha...They're smart muffins, dun worry...plus Hoagie's got that M.A.R.B.L.E.

Laurie43- I know, record time even with Cat's Meow. This has more chapters, and I've finished in half the time. XP

The Super Skitty- I tried to make him a sweetie. Being the leader can make him appear bossy, and I wanted to get acrossed the fact that though he's the team leader he's got a heart and cares for his girlfriend and friends too.

super ario- What if I told you I already had no taste-buds? XP Just kidding, sorry it's ending, I'm sad to see it go. :/

blue-eyed-blonde12- Sorry, here's more for you to chase after. Lawl. Behemoth really hit it off, gosh people luffles that fluff-ball...Pitchforks, I used to have one of those...now I have a spork. Which is smaller but somehow more threatening -cackles- Especially since I often light it on fire.

imasmurf93- Yeah, they needed a little more than fluff. XP Behemoth was a bit grumpy, being locked up and having to worry about his children. :3

TherealMelinePuckett- Nice to meet you not-Mel Mel's friend. :3 Sorry I made you cry, actually...well, it kind of makes me feel good in a twisted way, since the main goal of a writer is to get people to FEEL something. Thanks for crying...

Chapter Twelve- Kittens Next Door!

(Paladin)

So there was the flaw of escaping solved, but then there was to get Elder to come to the water as well. Paladin's chocolate eyes traveled up to the bars that covered the top of the cage again. He was almost certain it wasn't just his vantage point from here. The little tom-cat jumped into his person's lap, and then onto her shoulder and head.

"What is Paladin doin'?" He heard her ask under the soft plush of her hat. Paladin would have loved to study the hat longer, but he was pretty sure this was a more important thing. His tail stuck out to balance himself out and he lifted himself on his hind legs and placed his front paws on the cool metal of the bars. He jumped, hoping not to poke Abby in the head as he did so, and hauled himself on top of the cage where he teetered precariously with his four paws splayed out between the bars.

"Paladin!" Behemoth snapped, "Get down from there, it's dangerous."

"Cool idea Paladin!" Juniper yowled, springing onto Uncle Wally's head and trying for the bars. Her tail twitched and she glanced down at him between her paws, "Uncle Wally you're too short."

"Shut up." Wally snapped, the kitten only stuck her tongue out at him and jumped for Kuki's shoulder. From there she climbed on the girls head, and squirmed her way up onto the top of the cage. Temerity followed suit by climbing up on her person. (Which made him wince slightly, as he didn't have any hair on the top of his head to protect him from kitty claws.)

"Kittens!" Behemoth meowed, Paladin felt a little badly for him. His poor father looked about ready to tip over and have a heart-attack. Juniper puffed out her chest though, and looked down calmly at him.

"Calm yourself citizen! For we are...the Kittens Next Door!" Juniper puffed her chest out even further, and Wally let out a quick laugh that he tried to hide. "We shall fight the tyranny of any adult cat, to bring fun and playtime to kittens everywhere!"

"Citizen, Juniper he's our dad." Temerity said, "And heeey, that sounds like a leader speech! I wanna be leader, my owner IS the leader of our team!"

"Bah! I knew you'd DO this, that's why I didn't want to make a team with you!" Juniper groaned, Temerity lashed her tail at that and the little tabby seemed to realize what she had said, "Woops, did I say that out-loud?"

"What are they meowing about Numbuh Four?" Numbuh One asked, Paladin tipped his head to the side as he looked down at them. Perhaps he would have to intervene with his plan if they didn't figure it out for themselves soon.

"Juniper says tha' they're the Kittens Next Door, fighting adult cat tyranny and bringing fun and playtime ta kittens..." Uncle Wally said, trying to hide a smile. Everyone laughed under their paws, which only made Juniper a little irritated, "They're fightin' over who is leader."

"Elder's sleeping up there." Paladin finally said softly, causing his siblings to follow his moving muzzle to the sleeping form of the taken over girl. "I say that when they blow the cage up we kittens should be ready to lure him away to the water-place."

"Paladin you're brilliant!" Temerity yowled, Paladin smiled at her. Thanks...

"Absolutely not!" Behemoth yowled, "It's too dangerous, you'll get hurt!"

"But we're part of the Kittens Next Door!" Juniper complained, "We HAVE to Papa, or no kitten will ever be safe! No KID will be safe! We're brave, and fast, we can DO this, can't we guys!? I say PALADIN should lead us, he's the smartest."

Paladin blinked in surprise, "M-me?" The little tom squeaked. Him? Leader? But he didn't talk unless he thought it was important...well, okay, that could be a good thing when you were a leader but STILL. Temerity was nodding in acceptance though, so the the little brown tom suddenly found himself stuck in the new position. "Thank...you?"

Behemoth's whiskers twitched below, but Uncle Wally was already relaying the idea to his friends. Everyone seemed to think it was a good idea. Paladin's tummy did a little flip-flop of nervousness. What if he messed up? Oh right, if he messed up he'd be burnt to a crisp.

"Right...let's go." Paladin said softly, and bunched his muscles to jump of the cage. Temerity stopped him with a roll of her eyes, "W-what?"

"You're leader now, you have to issue the battle call thing." She said, as if it were the most obvious thing ever.

"Oh..." Paladin whispered, "Um...Kittens Next Door...Battlestations!"

With that Paladin and his two siblings sprang from the top of the cage. Paladin glanced over his shoulder at the KND team. He trusted that they would be ready. Paladin swept his tail around and huddled with his two sisters, "The lightning is the most dangerous. But don't let him look at you either."

"How can a blind cat LOOK at you Paladin?" Juniper squeaked. Paladin's whiskers quivered for a moment and he shuddered.

"I don't think it's looking at you so much as putting his mind in yours. Don't let him do that or you're garbage. Um...move fast, and in...a zig-zag pattern. I think that'll be our best bet. Temerity, you run the fastest so you'll be the one to wake him up, can you do that?" Every word that left his mouth sounded stronger and more confident by the moment.

I'm scared...Paladin thought, letting his eyes drift over to the sleeping human who had a cat inside her. Doesn't matter, being scared just means I have one more thing to face. You can do this Paladin. Be brave, be the bravest ever.

"Kay." Temerity said after screwing her blue eyes shut while she thought.

"Right, wake him up and then I'll..." Paladin faltered and looked around. There! There was a stone that was wedged against another one. He hopped over to it and pulled it down. Then he rolled a rock on top, and looked over to Elder. He scooted it a little closer, and rolled the rock on the one end. "I'll hop on the end of this and the rock'll hit Elder!"

"What do I do!?" Juniper complained.

"You wait for when they get out, jump onto the big rocks up there and try and knock them down. We want to give them time to run into the chamber. After everyone has done their part HIDE, we won't live if he tries to shock us..." Paladin shivered. The three of them looked at each other and Paladin added softly, "I love you Temerity...Juniper."

"We love you too Paladin, but there's no point in saying it now! We can tell each other again after this is all over!" Juniper said, puffing out her chest with pride.

"You're the best siblings EVER." Temerity agreed, and all three kittens butted heads together. It made Paladin's ears ring a little, but he was happy for it.

(Temerity)

"Get into position!" Paladin meowed, jumping over to his launcher and nodding to Juniper. Juniper hopped over to where the tower of rocks was in the corner of the cavern. Temerity padded so that she was standing several feet in front of the sleeping bad guy. Her paws were trembling, not with excitement like Juniper's but fear.

I can do this, I can do this. She thought, closing her eyes.

"Now Temerity!" Paladin cried. The fluffy gray she-cat sprang forward, her paws skidded across the stone floor and she RAN. Temerity ran right up to Elder, sprang in the air, and landed on that big soft squishy tummy with all of her claws sticking out. In practically the same motion she jumped up again and took off as fast as she could. Faster than she could. She had NEVER run this fast before, she felt like she was a little gray blur streaking through the world.

She jumped into a shallow hole, and pulled her nose inside. Her blue eyes peered at the world outside from her new hiding place. Elder was getting up, and he was MAD. He or she? Temerity wasn't really sure. Her fur fluffed up as the static in the air suddenly heightened. Elder stepped forward with a terrible roaring sound (He was yelling) and that's when Paladin let out the bravest battle cry EVER and jumped onto the opposite end of his launcher. The rock went sailing through the air, and struck Elder in between the eyes.

Temerity's whiskers trembled as Paladin weaved through the stones, avoiding deadly blasts of electricity. Then...the little brown tom just vanished. Elder stood there, seething with rage and looking for the kitten. That's when the cage must have exploded (Temerity couldn't see it but she was certain it was impressive!) Elder turned to look and Temerity saw Juniper jump high up onto the rocks. Her sister shoved them hard, and before Elder could work up a good bolt of electricity they fell on top of...him? We're just going to call him a him, since he really is a he.

(Juniper)

"ALRIGHT! IN YOUR FACE!" Juniper yowled as loudly as she possibly could. The little she-cat dove for her hiding place after she spoke, a little cave made by the rocks, and peered out of the shadows. Were Paladin and Temerity safe? She'd been so jumpy about when she was supposed to go she hadn't been able to notice.

"You'll pay for that you whelps!" Elder roared under the pile of stones, he exploded out and Juniper had to pull herself in not to get hit in the face with a butt-load of pebbles. "Where..."

"Oi! Guy in the fat suit!" She heard Uncle Wally say, Elder stopped surveying the mountain she was on and turned around v e r y slowly.

"Fat suit?" She heard Numbuh One hiss, and giggled a little at that. Elder suddenly EXPLODED with electricity. Uncle Wally yelped very loudly, and ducked into the tunnels. Elder followed with a cry of rage. Juniper's stomach twisted as she looked around, she couldn't see into the tunnels, and it wasn't for the excitement she was missing that made her feel a little sick.

(Wally)

Ever have a pissed off baddy that can control lightning chase you? You don't WANT to, Wally could tell you that. It was TERRIFYING, and slightly exhilirating, but as an opponent he didn't think he'd be requesting a fight with Elder anytime soon. The boy slid around the corner, being careful not to fall into the water.

Yeah, fall in that water and you would be electrocuted within every inch of your seven lives boy. Don't do that. Wally grimaced, and looked for the next person in position. Or persons. Since Numbuh Five and Numbuh Two were working as a team for this part. They had taken Wally's hoodie, Numbuh One's shirt, and Hoagie's shirt as well to tie together and make a rope that would trip him. Numbuh One was by Wally know, having been part of the team that got Elder's attention. Kuki was supposed to bring him near the rope.

Wally hated that idea, he thought it was a better job for him since, oh, what was it, oh yeah! He had SEVEN lives to spare and Kuki only had one? In other words, he was practically chewing his fingers off, as his nails had already been bitten down to the quick. Elder rounded the corner, spotted Kuki (right, remember he can KINDA see in this body) and ran for her.

The girl giggled and leaped over Elder's head in a move that kind of reminded Wally of leap-frog. Elder stumbled, Numbuh Two and Numbuh Five pulled the rope tight. He tripped, tumbled head over Lizzie's feet and landed into the water.

The result was quite interesting, though Numbuh One grimaced a bit and Wally didn't blame him. They hadn't really thought that it could kill Lizzie. (How nice guys, I know she's annoying but SHEESH...) Electricity sparked and she jerked for a minute before it all stopped. No electricity, no nuthin! Wally jumped up and down and cheered! They did it! They really did it! Numbuh One jumped in the water and grabbed Lizzie and pulled her to shore. She was trembling, and mumbling with her eyes closed but she appeared to be unhurt.

"It worked!" Numbuh Five yelled.

"WOOHOO!" Numbuh Two screamed, Wally spotted Behemoth with the three kittens. Everyone else did too, and all of them scooped up their respectible pets to cuddle and praise. "You were AWESOME Juniper."

"Great job Paladin!" Numbuh Five said, petting him softly.

"Thank you Temerity...you were very brave." Numbuh One murmured, Temerity sighed with relief and curled closer to him. Wally smiled, and looked around for Kuki. She was...laughing? Kay, so it wasn't the laughing so much that bothered him but her posture. Alarm bells rang in his head, Wally's heart pounded in his ears.

"Kuki?" He asked, everyone fell dead silent behind him. Kuki turned around and Wally felt like he was going to be sick, going to cry, and like he wanted to kill the nearest thing he could get his hands on. Her eyes weren't beautiful violet anymore, but electric blue.

BUM BUM BUUUUM!

Elder's got Kuki!

That's totally not what was supposed to happen at first...

See I was lying in bed, freaking out because I was hitting a block.

Then this popped into my head and I cackled...-Wally walks in- Huh?

Wally: -punches Streakz in the face and leaves-

Owwwww...X.x
