Near the Jellices Empire's Capital

Macavity's Lair

Throne Hall

"So you want to battle with me?" asked Macavity

"Not if you tell us what we want" replied Tugger.

"Oh and you really believed I'll tell you?" Macavity laughed

Then he nodded and all the henchmen attacked the jellicles.

Tugger was quite submerged by the henchmen.

Coricopat and Plato found themselves trapped into a circle of enemies.

They fought them and managed to reduced their number.

Then two of them jumped on Corico and Plato and battled them.

After some wrestling the two jellicles subdued their attackers but they were attacked by three other henchmen.

They lost their balance under the suddenly attack.

Both Cori and Plato rolled aside.

They got up and crouched ready to fight back.

They looked as Tugger struggled against the three henchmen.

He hurled one of them against the wall and made the other two bump into each other.

Cori and Plato exchange a glance, they knew that Tugger was one of their best fighter but they hadn't never seen him in action.

Many henchmen converged on him but he dodged them.

Corico jumped back into the fought and easily subdued one henchman.

Then Mac laughed

"It seems that I had to show you how to fight!" he said

He signaled to his six generals to follow him.

Cori moved by Tugger side.

They watched their brother approached with his generals.

All the others jellicles were fighting Macavity's henchmen.

"Oh that's interesting" said Macavity "you two are alone"

He smiled then he roared jumping against them

Tugger got him and they struggled, rolling on the ground.

Cori took care of two generals which tried to hit him.

Other two generals were watching Tugger and Mac's fight, waiting for the right time to join.

The last two where looking at Corico and his opponents.

Then they started a sort of dance, a deadly one.

Each time Tugger or Coricopat dodged or repulsed them another general took the place of the previous.

Even Macavity joined this dance, apparently liking it.

Tugger hit his opponents and stumbled back.

He managed to not fell but Macavity took the opportunity and jumped on him.

His weight made Tugger hit the ground.

"Tugger!" yelled Coricopat trying to get himself free from three generals.

Macavity was above Tugger, his claws on him

"so, this is the end, bro" he said.

Something passed into his eyes, sorrow? But it was to fast to catch it, as always.

Tugger looked at the claws and then something threw Macavity away from him.

He sat up and sow...

"Munku!" he almost yelled.

His older brother was rolling with Macavity on the ground.

From a door Jerry, Alonzo, Tantomille and Demeter came in.

"Munku!" screamed Demeter when she sow her mate fighting Macavity

Macavity managed to hit Munkustrap with his leg into his chest and threw him away.

Munkustrap landed on his feet and looked at him.

Macavity jumped up and they starred at each other.

Around them the jellicles managed to subdued all the henchmen.

"It's over Mac" Munkustrap said

"It will be over only when you died!" screamed Macavity with hatred in his voice.

He jumped against Munkustrap and grabbed him by his wist.

They rolled on the ground, once again.

Then Macavity jumped away and energy began to spurt from his paws.

He threw two red energy ball to his brother.

Munkustrap rose his paws and an invisible shield protected him.

"Mac stop it" he said

Macavity roared and started to throw him ball of energy.

Munkustrap warded off almost all of them.

One hit his side and left a large burn.

Macavity laughed

"one point for me!" he yelled

"Munku!" yelled Tugger "you couldn't keep dodging them!"

Tugger was right of course, the most Munkustrap dodged the energy balls the most he wasted energy.

But he couldn't hit his own brother.

Macavity threw another series of red blast and someone hit Munkustrap.

Then Macavity jumped on him and he was sent against the wall.

"You know?" asked Macavity "when I finished with you I will enjoy Demeter company, maybe also found someone of my generals for our sister"

Munkustrap growled and behind him Tantomille hissed

"Never" she yelled, holding Demeter with Admetus.

Munkustrap stood up and raised suddenly his right arm.

He summoned the air between he and his brother.

A blast of quite invisible energy drew an arch in front of him and hit Macavity.

The mad tom felt on the ground, laughing

"Is everything you could do?" he asked

Munkustrap face was distant and tired.

"Stop Macavity, you are alone!" tried again Munkustrap

"Oh, my dear Munkustrap" said Macavity throwing others energy bullets to him

Munkustrap rose his shield and dodged them.

Then he again summoned the air into a blast and sent it against Macavity

Macavity dodged it, this time and laughed.

"you are so different from me, you haven't the courage to..." he couldn't finished because a blue energy blast hit him in his chest.

He felt on the ground then he looked up, surprised.

Munkustrap was in front of him, a paw rose against him, sparkling with energy

"What are you waiting? Kill me!" Macavity hissed

Munkustrap glared at him

"You are right" he said "I'm not like you"

Then he lowered his paws and closed it.

Macavity passed out a grin still on his face.

Munkustrap looked at him then he turned to his friends.

He staggered

Tugger and Cori hurried to his site.

"Munku" his brothers called him

Then everything went black for a moment and he had to lean against his brothers

"Munk" said Demeter from Admetus arms.

Then she walked towards him and embraced him.

Munkustrap hold her tight.

They seemed to support each other.

"Come on" said Admetus putting an arm around his daughter wrist "lets take them away from here"

Tugger nodded and helped Munkustrap to walk out the lair.

They left but Tugger felt Macavity had done something else

And they would discovered it soon.
