Macavity's Revenge! (Or so he thinks!)
(Or So He Thinks!)
"Munkustrap and Alonzo will pay dearly for this!" Macavity ranted and raved
alone at his hide out. "And Mungojerrie is going to get it too!" He said
throwing a chair into the wall.
"Boss," a huge rat said as it and three other's slinked into the room.
"WHAT?!" Macavity roared.
The rats coward a bit before the big one continued. "Boss, boss! Look what we
found!" it chttered excitedly as they pushed a small black, 'blue'-grey, and
dark yellow kitten forward.
Macavity smiled devishly, and walked over to it. "so, who are you?" He asked
almost soothingly. The kitten responded by zapping Macavity's out streched paw.
"A magical cat! You've brought me a magical cat!" Macavity said. "Well done
boys."
The kitten looked at Macavity and said, "Friend?"
"Yes, I'm a friend. By the way, friend, what's your name?"
"Mistonomy," the kitten mewed.
"Well, Mistonomy, you and I are going to be very good friends."
A few weeks later Alonzo and Plato were walking along a back alley when they
heard crashing glass and a mad yelling at two cats. They ran to the corner in
time to see Macavity and another cat dissapearing into the shadow's with a
sausage chain. Plato and Alonzo looked at each other and ran back to the
junkyard.
When they got there Plato said, "Munkustrap! Munkustrap!"
"What?" Munku said coming up to the two out of breath cats. "What's wrong?"
"Macavity has a partner in crime!" Plato said.
"WHAT?!" Munkustrap said in shock. "What does he look like?"
"She.."
"She?!" Munkustrap said cutting Alonzo off.
"Yeah, it was a girl. Anyway, she was a black cat that had 'blue'-grey stripes
and dark yellow fore paws, and a dark yellow muzzle, and there was also a dark
yellow patch on her chest," Alonzo said.
"No!" they heard a new voice say. They looked behind Munkustrap to see a new
face.
"Guys, this is Mechanism. Corico and Tant found her nearly dead a few few weeks
ago. They've been nursing her back to health," Munku informed them.
Mechanism was a light grey cat with dark grey and black striations spread out
sparaticaly on her body.
"Do you know that cat we saw with Macavity?" Plato asked.
"Yeah, that's Mistonomy. She's my best frined. We weere traveling with Shellees,
she's kinda like an Aunt to us, but we got separated and we couldn't find her.
Then these rat's came and cat-napped Misty and left me all alone," Mechanism
said.
"Why would they only take her?" Munku asked.
"I don't know, maybe it's because she shocked that big one with that funky
blue/white lighting of hers," Mechanism said.
"She's a magical cat?!" Alonzo, Plato, and Munku said, their eyes wide.
Mechanism only srugged.
Back at Macavity's lair:
"Your learning so fast Mistonomy! Soon you'll be able to help me fight the
Jellicle scum that hate me so much!" Macavity said.
Mistonomy's eyes almost glowed red with anticipation. "Why can't we do it now?
I'm strong enough. Those rat's can't even beat me anymore!"
"Because, your going to go and join them tomarrow."
"What?! Have you lost your mind?!" Mistonomy yelled, clearly not afraid of
Macavity.
"Watch what you say child. You owe me everything. Besides you wont really be
joining them. You'll gain Munkustrap, Alonzo, and Mungojerrie's trust, and then
wait for me to give the signal, then their end will be my... Our gloorious
begining!" Macavity finished with a loud, wicked laugh that Mistonomy joined in.
Munkustrap was making his rounds when he saw a very battered cat stumble into
the junkyard. He went over to help imediatly. As he come closer he heard the cat
say,
"Mechanism? Help me, plea..." and with that the cat passed out.
Munkustrap got over to the cat, which was now obviously still pretty much a
kitten, and picked it up in his jaws, then ran off to take her to the twins.
On his way there the kitten began hilusinating, saying,
"No! Please stop! Macavity don't hurt me!!" the kitten called out in her
dilusion.
When Munku got to the twins home in the junkyard, which was a hallow chamber
like area in a large junk pile, he saw Corico off dozing in the corner and Tant
was telling Mechanism about what Macavity had done to Deuteronomy.
Tant looked over to where Munku was standing and said, "OH! Great Heavyside!
What haooened to that poor kitten?!" She ran over and got the kitten from him.
"Where did she come from?"
Mechanism gasped as she came closer, "That's Mistonomy!"
Corico had just woken up and came over to help Tant care for the badly injured
kitten.
"Macavity's gone to far this time!" Munku said. "Corico, help me round up the
rest of the toms!" And with that, Munku stormed out.
The twins looked at each other, and then at Mechanism who was staring at her
injured friend.
At the magical tire, Munkustrap told everyone what had just happened.
"She's here?!" Mungojerrie said. "What if Macavity tries to get her back?"
"It's not going to happen Jerrie. I wont let it," Munku said.
All of the males agreed, they couldn't let Mistonomy go back to Macavity.
"Munku?" Mistoffelees asked.
"Yes Misto?"
"Would it be ok if I went to see her? If Macavity has been training her, then
maybe she know's how to heal herself."
"Is that possible?" Asparagus asked.
"Only for some of the best conjuring cats," Coricopat said.
"Go ahead Misto," Munku said.
Mistoffelees was getting ready to leave for the twins place when he heard
Pouncival say, "To bad you can't change her colors or something so Macavity
doesn't recognize her."
Misto and Corico's eyes went wide!
"Why didn't we think of that?!" Misto wooped.
"Yes, the three of us sould be able to," Corico said.
Pounce, your a genious!" they called over thier shoulders as they ran off.
"What in the name of the Heavyside just happened?"Skimble asked.
"I have no clue," Munku said. "I have no clue."
Corico told Tant what the plan was and she agreed that it would work. They sent
Mechanism outside and then Misto healed Mistonomy, because they wanted her to
have all of her strength before they "changed" her.
All of the cats where gathered outside of the enterance to the twins home, when
Tant came out and said that Mistonomy was completely better.
Mechanism gave out a huge cheer when she saw Misto and Corico esccorting
Mistonomy out of the chamber. But her smile faded when she got a better look at
her friend.
"Misty?! What did they do to you?" she meowed.
"What do you mean?" Mistonomy asked.
"Your colors, they're gone."
Mistonomy looked at her paws and forarms. Her dark yellow forpaws where white
and her "blue"-grey stripes were now just grey. "Mech?" she whispered.
"Yeah?" Mechansim said moving close to her friend.
"My face is still dark, right?" Mistonomy asked with a hoeful fear in her voice.
Mechanism looked away saying, "No, Misty. It's as light as your front paws."
A solum tear ran down Mistonomy's cheak.
"But you're safe now. Macavity wont recognize you," Tumblebrutus said.
"Safe?" Mistonomy whispered. "I'm going to die. Macavity will think I did this
on my own to escapre him."
Mistoffelees felt sorry for chaning her, so he walked over and rubbed his
shoulder against hers. Not knowing kindness since she had started staying with
Macavity, Mistonomy jumped back and hissed.
"What did he do to you that would cause you to react like that?" Quaxo asked.
Mistonomy said, "Macavity never did that. He told me that if the Jellicles do
it, that it isn't good."
Munku shook his head, "Kitten, Macavity was using..." He was cut off when the
four kittens, Victoria, Jemima, Electra, and Etcetera came runing up to him.
Electra said, "Munkustrap! Look what we found!" And as she said this two other
cats walked into the group of males. The first was an adult female. She was all
grey with red and orange stripes all over. Mechanism recognized her imediantly.
"Aunt Shellees!" she cried, running over to Shellees.
"I thought I'd never see you again child. Where's Mistonomy?" Shellees asked.
"That's her," Mecha said.
Mistonomy looked away from Shellees and would have left if Mistoffelees hadn't
stopped her.
Shelleed desided not to say anything.
The other cat was a young tom cat. His body was dark brown with light striations
on his face and torso and much darker ones on his limbs. He also had a white
tipped tail.
Alonzo walked up to the tom, who even for his young age, was almost bigger than
him. "So, who are you?" he asked.
"I'm Bedrock," the cat said.
Munku looked him over for a second before saying, "You're a pretty strong
looking cat, but your so young. How?"
"That's easy. My original master worked at a gym. He worked out all the time and
refused to let me sit around."
"Why aren't you still with him then?" Asparigus asked.
"My new female master owns a dog."
"Tough break kid," Rum Tum said.
Bedrock loked at Mistonomy before saying, "You look formillure. You look alot
like that nasty kitten that hangs out with that Macavity chap."
"Nasty?" Mistonomy echoed. She had never been called nasty before. She looked
around at all of the Jellicles surounding her. She felt trapped, like there was
no escape. A look of terror shot accross her face and her ears went back. She
started to back up and backed into Mistoffelees. Then with a soft meow she was
gone.
"What did I say?" Bedrock asked confused.
"That was the kitten that's been hanging around with Macavity. And you just told
her she was nasty," the twins said.
Bedrock looked at the ground, ashamed for what he'd said.
"It was an honest mistake," Munku said. "So, first, Corico, Tant or Misto, do
you have any sence of where she might go?"
"Yes," all three said. Misto continued, "She probably went back to the twins
place."
"Go and check. If she is, stay with her. Talk or what ever, but don't let her
leave."
All three nodded and Misto teleported them there.
"And second. Now that Shellees is here, do you want to be a Jellicle, Mechanism?
Shellees can be one too, and the offer stands to you too Bedrock. That is, if
you want," Munku said.
They continued to talk, and it was desided by all present that the three could
become Jellicles.
But at Coricopat and Tantomile's chamber, the twins and Misto were talking to
Mistonomy and comparing their magical powers.
It ended up that Mistonomy was as powerfull as Mistoffelees, and it was desided
that if she had stayed with Mavcavity, that he would have used her against them.
Mistonomy, despite the plan, was starting to see how bad Macavity was and how
good the Jellicles were. She especially liked the black cat. She marveled at how
nice he was being toward her. She was starting to not want to go back to
Macavity, but she did owe him alot. She felt she was being torn two differant
ways.
A long time passed (Six months to be presice) and it was time for the next
Jellicle Ball. This would be the night Macavity got his revenge.
That morning when Mistonomy awoke, with Alonzo, Pouncival, Tumblebrutus, and
(reluctantly) Bedrock (who had all become her friends) all she could think about
was what Macavity was going to do. She knew how to set up Munk, Alonzo, and
Mungo, but she didn't want to. They all opened up her mind and eyes to how bad
Macavity realy was. Torn, she got up to go find Munkustrap.
Munkustrap had just gotten to the junkyard with Shellees and Mechanism. The
girls separated from him saying that they'ed see him at the Ball and Munku went
to sit on the truck of the old Ford.
Moments later he heard Mistonomy's voice saying, "What would you do if you knew
something bad was going to happen?"
"Misty, show yourself. We've gone over this before. I'm not going to hurt you if
you say something I don't like," he said with a sigh.
Mistonomy appeared behind him and continued, "What would you do if you knew
something bad was going to happen, and that you HAD to be apart of it?"
"First, you never have to be apart of something if you don't want to, and
second, I'd probably go and tell Deuteronomy," he said.
Mistonomy thought for a second beofre she rubbed her head on Munku's shoulderas
if to say thank you and then ran off.
Bedrock was walking around the junkyard not really doing anything when he heard:
"She isn't still like that!"
"Oh come on Mistoffelees! She has to still be working for Macavity! She's always
invisible and nobody ever knows where she is!"
"Give it up Demeter. This is getting old. She's been here with us for nearly a
year! And you never ask me if I've seen her," Misto said dryly.
"What do you mean? You know where she's been when nobody else has?" Demeter
asked confused.
"I mea.. what I ment was.." Misto stammered.
"You, she's been with you?! If you had told me I wouldn't have said all of that
stuff. I didn't know," Demeter said appologenticly.
Bedrock jumped out from where he had been listening, which scared the other two
felines, and said, "I can't beleive your falling for her act! Macavity and her
were a team! Doo you really think that he'd let her go that easily?!"
"Bedrock!" Misto hissed.
"I know Macavity, if he got extreamly bored or annoyed with her, it's possible
he just let her go. But you're right. It almost seemed to easy," Demeter said.
"Thank you Demeter. At least one cat beleives me. And, no offense, but Misto,
she's playing you for a sap. You'll see. She'll double cross everyone and go
back to Macavity."
Misto couldn't listen to waht they were saying about Mistonomy anwy more. He had
feelings for her, true. Most of the Jellicles had picked up on how he acted
toward her these last few months. With a glare in his eyes, he vanished.
Demeter looked at Bedrock and said, "You know he has a huge crush on her and she
hasn't even noticed. I also think that you might have gone to far." And with
that she turned and left. Leaving Bedrock alone.
"Mechanism stop!" Admetus said as she swatted his tail.
"Mecha, leave his tail alone," Shellees said. She was trying to get some rest
before the Ball that night.
"Ok, Aunt Shellees. Sorry Admetus, but I'm bored. Mistonomy hasn't showed up to
play yet," Mechanism said, sounding very bored.
"That's strange. She has never been late," Shellees said.
"I'll go ask if anyone's scene her. Maybe one of the other cat's sidetracked
her," Admetus said hoping up.
After he was gone, Mechanism said, "The only cat that could keep her from coming
here would be Mistoffelees. She's so head-over-heels for him and he hasn't
noticed."
Shellees laughed, "Maybe tonight at the Ball, they will realize that the other
likes them."
Mechansim looked shocked. "You mean he does know?!"
"Certainly child. He has feelings for her, but he thinks she doesn't have the
same feelings for him," Shellees told her.
"Tonight's Ball should be fun," Mechanism said curling up.
Old Deuteronomy was sitting on Vicarage Wall in his usual spot when Mistoffelees
appeared.
"Hello Misto. What brings you all the way to Vicarage?" Deuteronomy asked.
Misto sighed and said, "It's about Mistonomy."
"What's about me?" Mistonomy asked as she leaped up on the wall and landed nose
to nose with Mistoffelees. They both hopped back one step and Mistonomy fell
backwards over Deuteronomy.
Deuteronomy laughed to himself, then said, "Are you ok Misty?"
She rolled over onto her feet and nodded yes.
"So what brings you to Vicarage, Mistonomy?" Deuteronomy asked.
"I needed to ask you something," she said and glanced at Mistoffelees.
"Well?" Dueteronomy asked kindly.
"Well, um," she glanced at Misto again, and continued, "what would you do if you
knew something real bad was going to happen to three of the Jellicles?"
Deuteronomy stared at her. "What do you mean? Which three?"
"Well, ya see..." Mistonomy started.
Deuteronomy loked at Misto and nodded his head toward Mistonomy. Misto walked
over to her and rubbed his head under her chin, followed by his back and he sat
down next to her, and when she looked at him, he licked her cheak.
Mistonomy sighed and continued, "I've been lying to you all. I've been in
contact with Macavity the entire time I've been here. The big plan is set to go
down tonight at the Ball. Munku, Alonzo, and Jerrie are in real danger!" She
looked nervously at the two toms and then said, "And now I have to go, because
Macavity has his spies everywhere, and if he finds out, I'm kitty litter!"
"wait!" Deuteronomy ordered. Misto and Mistonomy had never heared his tone like
that. Mistonomy froze.
"So you mean all this time that you've been here you've been reporting to him?
Mistoffelees and the Twins changed you colors to protect you, which is
irriversable, and you went back to him? Why?" Deuteronomy asked in his normal
tone.
"You don't know what it's like. He basicaly saved me. The rats had roughed me up
so much and he had them stop and tought me to take care of myself. He was so
much like the father I never had," Mistonomy started to cry.
Mistoffelees moved over and to comfort her. She turned to face him and ended up
buring her head in the white fur on his chest. He put a paw around her shoulder
to comfort her.
"Mistoffelees, take care of her. I'm going to worn the Jellicles," Deuteronomy
said.
"Deuteronomy? Don't let Bedrock turn the other against Misty. I think that she's
paid enough," Misto said.
Deuteronomy nodde. "Get to the junkyard as soon as you can. We might be needing
your powers." He paused, "Come to the junkyard with me. I don't want her alone."
Mistoffelees, with some strain, teleported them all to the junkyard.
"See! I told you all!" Bedrock said. "I knew that she was still with Macavity!"
"Bedrock, sit down and shut up," Munku said. "Ok Deuteronomy, continue."
Deuteronomy looked around and said, "She didn't have to tell me or Mistoffelees
that she was still in contact with Macavity, but she did." Deuteronomy moved
aside to reveal Misto and a crying Mistonomy behind him. "She is deeply sorry
for lying to us and has said that she will help us if and when Macavity appears
tonight. It is up to all of you, now, to let her stay with us though."
Without hesitation Mechanism walked up to her friend and nussled her. Mistonomy
smiled a silent thank you. Shellees and Admetus werenext and then all of the
Cats except Bedrock, Demeter and Bombalurina went up to her. Demter didn't like
the fact that Mistonomy had been with Macavity all this time, Bombal was
sticking with Demeter, and Bedrock just plain still didn't like her.
"Demeter, you out of all of us should be more understanding towards Mistonomy,"
Munku said.
Demeterlooked at him and then at Mistonomy, who wasn't looking in her direction
and was still crying. She looked at Bombal and nodded. The two of them walked
over to Mistonomy and rubbed up against her shoulder.
"Well Bedrock?" Mechanism said at last. "He who stands alone, is truely alone."
Mistonomy looked at Bedrock, with a glow to her eyes and a small flower formed
in front of him. Thenshe said, "I know what Macavity and I did to you was wrong,
and I don't blame you for not liking me, but I've changed. There's nothing I can
show you to proove that I have, but I hat."
Mechanism walked down to Bedrock and ran her head under his chin. "You can trust
her. I know she's changed back to good." She said as she did so.
Bedrock looked down at Mecha, and they both walked up to join the others.
"Ok," Munku said. "This is what we're gonna do."
Macavity and his rats waited in a desolate clearing in the junkyrad waiting for
Mistonomy to show up.
Mistonomy appeared out of a junk pile and landed on all four's infront of
Macavity.
"Your late," Macavity said coldly.
"It was the first time that I could get away," Mistonomy said.
"Whatever. You know what to do during the Peke's and the Pollicle's. Get their
attention before they introduce the Rumpuscat and don't let Mistoffelees use his
powers!" Macavity snapped.
Mistonomy nodded.
"Now go! I can hear them singing about Deuteronomy now," Macavity said. As he
watched her leave, he didn't like how she hadn't snapped back at him just now.
He thought about it for a second, and then sent one of his rats to watch what
Mistonomt was doing.
The rat ran off towards the main clearing of the junkyard and Macavity and the
remaing three got into their places.
As the rat came up to the area where the Jellicles were, it could tell that the
Peke's vs. Pollicles had already started. It watched what they were doing untill
a loud meow cut Munku off.
"Macavity!" Demeter yelled.
"No! It's me!" Mistonomy said as she hopped out from her hiding place. On doing
this, she sent three, very low powered, lightning bolts hurtaling towards Munku,
Alonzo, and Jerrie.
The bolts weren't strongenough to hurt them, but the three were still knocked
down and back a bit.
Macavity's evil laugh was heard approaching the junkyrad, and then he burst out
into the clearing.
"Jellicle's prepeare for your end!" he cackled.
Munkustrap, Alonzo, and MungoJerrie stayed were they were, pretending to be more
out of it then they really were.
"Good job Mistonomy. I admit, I was having doubts after all the time you spent
with them, especially after you missed the last few reports. But I can see that
you haven't forgotten," Macavity sneered.
"Forgotten what?" Tumblebrutus asked.
Mistonomy's mind raced. What was it that Macavity was talking about? What did
she forget?!
Macavity made a gesture and all four huge rats sprang up from behind Mistonomy.
"Why my dear queen. Have you really forgotten what happened all those months
ago?" Macavity smiled. "I programed you to get those three back." And he
gestured to Mungo, Munku, and Alonzo.
"Programed?" Jennyany asked. "What do you mean?"
Macavity made a discusted face and said, "I hypnotized her the night before she
came and there's no way that she can disobey my orders. Oh, are you wondering
why you don't remember. I erased it from your mind just in case of somethinglike
this. Poor thing."
"Oh yeah?!" Mistoffelees said. "The twins and I found out about that and made it
so you can't! You'll never be able to controle her everagain!" Mistoffelees was
standing alone with one paw behind his back, conjuring away the post hypnotic
siggestion in Mistonomy's mind.
Plato stood up from where he was and went and stood with Misto, showing that he
wasn't afraid of Macavity either. Bedrock was the next to stand up. He made the
other two toms look like kittens when he stood next to them. Slowly all of the
Cats joined them, even Alonzo, Munku and Mungo, who had gottenn up off of the
ground, had joined them.
"NO! I will not be beaten by you magician! Mistonomy brlongs to me!" Then
speaking to Misty he roared, "I want you to make sure that Mistoffelees can
never use his powers again. Kill him!"
Mistoffelees swollowed hard. He didn't know if what he had done worked or not.
Mistonomy's eyes lit up white, and she raissed her paws, ready to send a bolt
out to her vistim.
"Oh Macavity," she said. "I don't think so!" And with that she sent out a huge
lightning bolt straight for Macavity.
He tried to dodge it, but was hit from behind from Mistoffelees. With a shock
like that from the front and back. Macavity was left in a sorry state. He lay
there on the ground stairing up at the two conjuring cats.
"You're a fool Macavity. I would have rather died than kill Misto. And you my
'friend' are dieing. You're gonna go to the one place not even you can escape
from. The Weys of Limbo." Mistonomy said.
Mistoffelees, Deuteronomy, Munkustrap, Alonzo, and Mungojerrie came up behind
her.
"Is that it? Is he really gone?" Alonzo and Jerrie asked.
Mistoffelees nuzzled Mistonomy and said, "Yes. Macavity is no longer a threat."
Macavity's body gave off a dull glow and sank into the ground, giving off a low
growl as it did so.
Mistonomy turned to the others and said, "I guess you want me to go now."
"Go? Why?" Pouncival asked.
"Yeah, after you and Misto just got rid of Macavity, why would you want to
leave?" Tumblebrutus asked.
"Yes, your a Jellicle now Mistonomy," Deuteronomy said with a smile on his face.
Mistonomy got a very happy look on her face and ran over and hugged Deuteronomy.
"Thatnk you all so much!" She said.
The Ball continued after that as it always had, except without Macavity's song
and no more Macavity scares. When it came time to pick the cat to go to the
Heavyside Layer, Old Deuteronomy picked Asparagus. All of the cats were happy
for Gus, but some of them (Jellylorum and Jennyanydots) were very sad to see him
go.
"Don't worry girls. He's coming back soon enough," Skimble said.
The two queens nodded.

(Or So He Thinks!)
"Munkustrap and Alonzo will pay dearly for this!" Macavity ranted and raved
alone at his hide out. "And Mungojerrie is going to get it too!" He said
throwing a chair into the wall.
"Boss," a huge rat said as it and three other's slinked into the room.
"WHAT?!" Macavity roared.
The rats coward a bit before the big one continued. "Boss, boss! Look what we
found!" it chttered excitedly as they pushed a small black, 'blue'-grey, and
dark yellow kitten forward.
Macavity smiled devishly, and walked over to it. "so, who are you?" He asked
almost soothingly. The kitten responded by zapping Macavity's out streched paw.
"A magical cat! You've brought me a magical cat!" Macavity said. "Well done
boys."
The kitten looked at Macavity and said, "Friend?"
"Yes, I'm a friend. By the way, friend, what's your name?"
"Mistonomy," the kitten mewed.
"Well, Mistonomy, you and I are going to be very good friends."
A few weeks later Alonzo and Plato were walking along a back alley when they
heard crashing glass and a mad yelling at two cats. They ran to the corner in
time to see Macavity and another cat dissapearing into the shadow's with a
sausage chain. Plato and Alonzo looked at each other and ran back to the
junkyard.
When they got there Plato said, "Munkustrap! Munkustrap!"
"What?" Munku said coming up to the two out of breath cats. "What's wrong?"
"Macavity has a partner in crime!" Plato said.
"WHAT?!" Munkustrap said in shock. "What does he look like?"
"She.."
"She?!" Munkustrap said cutting Alonzo off.
"Yeah, it was a girl. Anyway, she was a black cat that had 'blue'-grey stripes
and dark yellow fore paws, and a dark yellow muzzle, and there was also a dark
yellow patch on her chest," Alonzo said.
"No!" they heard a new voice say. They looked behind Munkustrap to see a new
face.
"Guys, this is Mechanism. Corico and Tant found her nearly dead a few few weeks
ago. They've been nursing her back to health," Munku informed them.
Mechanism was a light grey cat with dark grey and black striations spread out
sparaticaly on her body.
"Do you know that cat we saw with Macavity?" Plato asked.
"Yeah, that's Mistonomy. She's my best frined. We weere traveling with Shellees,
she's kinda like an Aunt to us, but we got separated and we couldn't find her.
Then these rat's came and cat-napped Misty and left me all alone," Mechanism
said.
"Why would they only take her?" Munku asked.
"I don't know, maybe it's because she shocked that big one with that funky
blue/white lighting of hers," Mechanism said.
"She's a magical cat?!" Alonzo, Plato, and Munku said, their eyes wide.
Mechanism only srugged.
Back at Macavity's lair:
"Your learning so fast Mistonomy! Soon you'll be able to help me fight the
Jellicle scum that hate me so much!" Macavity said.
Mistonomy's eyes almost glowed red with anticipation. "Why can't we do it now?
I'm strong enough. Those rat's can't even beat me anymore!"
"Because, your going to go and join them tomarrow."
"What?! Have you lost your mind?!" Mistonomy yelled, clearly not afraid of
Macavity.
"Watch what you say child. You owe me everything. Besides you wont really be
joining them. You'll gain Munkustrap, Alonzo, and Mungojerrie's trust, and then
wait for me to give the signal, then their end will be my... Our gloorious
begining!" Macavity finished with a loud, wicked laugh that Mistonomy joined in.
Munkustrap was making his rounds when he saw a very battered cat stumble into
the junkyard. He went over to help imediatly. As he come closer he heard the cat
say,
"Mechanism? Help me, plea..." and with that the cat passed out.
Munkustrap got over to the cat, which was now obviously still pretty much a
kitten, and picked it up in his jaws, then ran off to take her to the twins.
On his way there the kitten began hilusinating, saying,
"No! Please stop! Macavity don't hurt me!!" the kitten called out in her
dilusion.
When Munku got to the twins home in the junkyard, which was a hallow chamber
like area in a large junk pile, he saw Corico off dozing in the corner and Tant
was telling Mechanism about what Macavity had done to Deuteronomy.
Tant looked over to where Munku was standing and said, "OH! Great Heavyside!
What haooened to that poor kitten?!" She ran over and got the kitten from him.
"Where did she come from?"
Mechanism gasped as she came closer, "That's Mistonomy!"
Corico had just woken up and came over to help Tant care for the badly injured
kitten.
"Macavity's gone to far this time!" Munku said. "Corico, help me round up the
rest of the toms!" And with that, Munku stormed out.
The twins looked at each other, and then at Mechanism who was staring at her
injured friend.
At the magical tire, Munkustrap told everyone what had just happened.
"She's here?!" Mungojerrie said. "What if Macavity tries to get her back?"
"It's not going to happen Jerrie. I wont let it," Munku said.
All of the males agreed, they couldn't let Mistonomy go back to Macavity.
"Munku?" Mistoffelees asked.
"Yes Misto?"
"Would it be ok if I went to see her? If Macavity has been training her, then
maybe she know's how to heal herself."
"Is that possible?" Asparagus asked.
"Only for some of the best conjuring cats," Coricopat said.
"Go ahead Misto," Munku said.
Mistoffelees was getting ready to leave for the twins place when he heard
Pouncival say, "To bad you can't change her colors or something so Macavity
doesn't recognize her."
Misto and Corico's eyes went wide!
"Why didn't we think of that?!" Misto wooped.
"Yes, the three of us sould be able to," Corico said.
Pounce, your a genious!" they called over thier shoulders as they ran off.
"What in the name of the Heavyside just happened?"Skimble asked.
"I have no clue," Munku said. "I have no clue."
Corico told Tant what the plan was and she agreed that it would work. They sent
Mechanism outside and then Misto healed Mistonomy, because they wanted her to
have all of her strength before they "changed" her.
All of the cats where gathered outside of the enterance to the twins home, when
Tant came out and said that Mistonomy was completely better.
Mechanism gave out a huge cheer when she saw Misto and Corico esccorting
Mistonomy out of the chamber. But her smile faded when she got a better look at
her friend.
"Misty?! What did they do to you?" she meowed.
"What do you mean?" Mistonomy asked.
"Your colors, they're gone."
Mistonomy looked at her paws and forarms. Her dark yellow forpaws where white
and her "blue"-grey stripes were now just grey. "Mech?" she whispered.
"Yeah?" Mechansim said moving close to her friend.
"My face is still dark, right?" Mistonomy asked with a hoeful fear in her voice.
Mechanism looked away saying, "No, Misty. It's as light as your front paws."
A solum tear ran down Mistonomy's cheak.
"But you're safe now. Macavity wont recognize you," Tumblebrutus said.
"Safe?" Mistonomy whispered. "I'm going to die. Macavity will think I did this
on my own to escapre him."
Mistoffelees felt sorry for chaning her, so he walked over and rubbed his
shoulder against hers. Not knowing kindness since she had started staying with
Macavity, Mistonomy jumped back and hissed.
"What did he do to you that would cause you to react like that?" Quaxo asked.
Mistonomy said, "Macavity never did that. He told me that if the Jellicles do
it, that it isn't good."
Munku shook his head, "Kitten, Macavity was using..." He was cut off when the
four kittens, Victoria, Jemima, Electra, and Etcetera came runing up to him.
Electra said, "Munkustrap! Look what we found!" And as she said this two other
cats walked into the group of males. The first was an adult female. She was all
grey with red and orange stripes all over. Mechanism recognized her imediantly.
"Aunt Shellees!" she cried, running over to Shellees.
"I thought I'd never see you again child. Where's Mistonomy?" Shellees asked.
"That's her," Mecha said.
Mistonomy looked away from Shellees and would have left if Mistoffelees hadn't
stopped her.
Shelleed desided not to say anything.
The other cat was a young tom cat. His body was dark brown with light striations
on his face and torso and much darker ones on his limbs. He also had a white
tipped tail.
Alonzo walked up to the tom, who even for his young age, was almost bigger than
him. "So, who are you?" he asked.
"I'm Bedrock," the cat said.
Munku looked him over for a second before saying, "You're a pretty strong
looking cat, but your so young. How?"
"That's easy. My original master worked at a gym. He worked out all the time and
refused to let me sit around."
"Why aren't you still with him then?" Asparigus asked.
"My new female master owns a dog."
"Tough break kid," Rum Tum said.
Bedrock loked at Mistonomy before saying, "You look formillure. You look alot
like that nasty kitten that hangs out with that Macavity chap."
"Nasty?" Mistonomy echoed. She had never been called nasty before. She looked
around at all of the Jellicles surounding her. She felt trapped, like there was
no escape. A look of terror shot accross her face and her ears went back. She
started to back up and backed into Mistoffelees. Then with a soft meow she was
gone.
"What did I say?" Bedrock asked confused.
"That was the kitten that's been hanging around with Macavity. And you just told
her she was nasty," the twins said.
Bedrock looked at the ground, ashamed for what he'd said.
"It was an honest mistake," Munku said. "So, first, Corico, Tant or Misto, do
you have any sence of where she might go?"
"Yes," all three said. Misto continued, "She probably went back to the twins
place."
"Go and check. If she is, stay with her. Talk or what ever, but don't let her
leave."
All three nodded and Misto teleported them there.
"And second. Now that Shellees is here, do you want to be a Jellicle, Mechanism?
Shellees can be one too, and the offer stands to you too Bedrock. That is, if
you want," Munku said.
They continued to talk, and it was desided by all present that the three could
become Jellicles.
But at Coricopat and Tantomile's chamber, the twins and Misto were talking to
Mistonomy and comparing their magical powers.
It ended up that Mistonomy was as powerfull as Mistoffelees, and it was desided
that if she had stayed with Mavcavity, that he would have used her against them.
Mistonomy, despite the plan, was starting to see how bad Macavity was and how
good the Jellicles were. She especially liked the black cat. She marveled at how
nice he was being toward her. She was starting to not want to go back to
Macavity, but she did owe him alot. She felt she was being torn two differant
ways.
A long time passed (Six months to be presice) and it was time for the next
Jellicle Ball. This would be the night Macavity got his revenge.
That morning when Mistonomy awoke, with Alonzo, Pouncival, Tumblebrutus, and
(reluctantly) Bedrock (who had all become her friends) all she could think about
was what Macavity was going to do. She knew how to set up Munk, Alonzo, and
Mungo, but she didn't want to. They all opened up her mind and eyes to how bad
Macavity realy was. Torn, she got up to go find Munkustrap.
Munkustrap had just gotten to the junkyard with Shellees and Mechanism. The
girls separated from him saying that they'ed see him at the Ball and Munku went
to sit on the truck of the old Ford.
Moments later he heard Mistonomy's voice saying, "What would you do if you knew
something bad was going to happen?"
"Misty, show yourself. We've gone over this before. I'm not going to hurt you if
you say something I don't like," he said with a sigh.
Mistonomy appeared behind him and continued, "What would you do if you knew
something bad was going to happen, and that you HAD to be apart of it?"
"First, you never have to be apart of something if you don't want to, and
second, I'd probably go and tell Deuteronomy," he said.
Mistonomy thought for a second beofre she rubbed her head on Munku's shoulderas
if to say thank you and then ran off.
Bedrock was walking around the junkyard not really doing anything when he heard:
"She isn't still like that!"
"Oh come on Mistoffelees! She has to still be working for Macavity! She's always
invisible and nobody ever knows where she is!"
"Give it up Demeter. This is getting old. She's been here with us for nearly a
year! And you never ask me if I've seen her," Misto said dryly.
"What do you mean? You know where she's been when nobody else has?" Demeter
asked confused.
"I mea.. what I ment was.." Misto stammered.
"You, she's been with you?! If you had told me I wouldn't have said all of that
stuff. I didn't know," Demeter said appologenticly.
Bedrock jumped out from where he had been listening, which scared the other two
felines, and said, "I can't beleive your falling for her act! Macavity and her
were a team! Doo you really think that he'd let her go that easily?!"
"Bedrock!" Misto hissed.
"I know Macavity, if he got extreamly bored or annoyed with her, it's possible
he just let her go. But you're right. It almost seemed to easy," Demeter said.
"Thank you Demeter. At least one cat beleives me. And, no offense, but Misto,
she's playing you for a sap. You'll see. She'll double cross everyone and go
back to Macavity."
Misto couldn't listen to waht they were saying about Mistonomy anwy more. He had
feelings for her, true. Most of the Jellicles had picked up on how he acted
toward her these last few months. With a glare in his eyes, he vanished.
Demeter looked at Bedrock and said, "You know he has a huge crush on her and she
hasn't even noticed. I also think that you might have gone to far." And with
that she turned and left. Leaving Bedrock alone.
"Mechanism stop!" Admetus said as she swatted his tail.
"Mecha, leave his tail alone," Shellees said. She was trying to get some rest
before the Ball that night.
"Ok, Aunt Shellees. Sorry Admetus, but I'm bored. Mistonomy hasn't showed up to
play yet," Mechanism said, sounding very bored.
"That's strange. She has never been late," Shellees said.
"I'll go ask if anyone's scene her. Maybe one of the other cat's sidetracked
her," Admetus said hoping up.
After he was gone, Mechanism said, "The only cat that could keep her from coming
here would be Mistoffelees. She's so head-over-heels for him and he hasn't
noticed."
Shellees laughed, "Maybe tonight at the Ball, they will realize that the other
likes them."
Mechansim looked shocked. "You mean he does know?!"
"Certainly child. He has feelings for her, but he thinks she doesn't have the
same feelings for him," Shellees told her.
"Tonight's Ball should be fun," Mechanism said curling up.
Old Deuteronomy was sitting on Vicarage Wall in his usual spot when Mistoffelees
appeared.
"Hello Misto. What brings you all the way to Vicarage?" Deuteronomy asked.
Misto sighed and said, "It's about Mistonomy."
"What's about me?" Mistonomy asked as she leaped up on the wall and landed nose
to nose with Mistoffelees. They both hopped back one step and Mistonomy fell
backwards over Deuteronomy.
Deuteronomy laughed to himself, then said, "Are you ok Misty?"
She rolled over onto her feet and nodded yes.
"So what brings you to Vicarage, Mistonomy?" Deuteronomy asked.
"I needed to ask you something," she said and glanced at Mistoffelees.
"Well?" Dueteronomy asked kindly.
"Well, um," she glanced at Misto again, and continued, "what would you do if you
knew something real bad was going to happen to three of the Jellicles?"
Deuteronomy stared at her. "What do you mean? Which three?"
"Well, ya see..." Mistonomy started.
Deuteronomy loked at Misto and nodded his head toward Mistonomy. Misto walked
over to her and rubbed his head under her chin, followed by his back and he sat
down next to her, and when she looked at him, he licked her cheak.
Mistonomy sighed and continued, "I've been lying to you all. I've been in
contact with Macavity the entire time I've been here. The big plan is set to go
down tonight at the Ball. Munku, Alonzo, and Jerrie are in real danger!" She
looked nervously at the two toms and then said, "And now I have to go, because
Macavity has his spies everywhere, and if he finds out, I'm kitty litter!"
"wait!" Deuteronomy ordered. Misto and Mistonomy had never heared his tone like
that. Mistonomy froze.
"So you mean all this time that you've been here you've been reporting to him?
Mistoffelees and the Twins changed you colors to protect you, which is
irriversable, and you went back to him? Why?" Deuteronomy asked in his normal
tone.
"You don't know what it's like. He basicaly saved me. The rats had roughed me up
so much and he had them stop and tought me to take care of myself. He was so
much like the father I never had," Mistonomy started to cry.
Mistoffelees moved over and to comfort her. She turned to face him and ended up
buring her head in the white fur on his chest. He put a paw around her shoulder
to comfort her.
"Mistoffelees, take care of her. I'm going to worn the Jellicles," Deuteronomy
said.
"Deuteronomy? Don't let Bedrock turn the other against Misty. I think that she's
paid enough," Misto said.
Deuteronomy nodde. "Get to the junkyard as soon as you can. We might be needing
your powers." He paused, "Come to the junkyard with me. I don't want her alone."
Mistoffelees, with some strain, teleported them all to the junkyard.
"See! I told you all!" Bedrock said. "I knew that she was still with Macavity!"
"Bedrock, sit down and shut up," Munku said. "Ok Deuteronomy, continue."
Deuteronomy looked around and said, "She didn't have to tell me or Mistoffelees
that she was still in contact with Macavity, but she did." Deuteronomy moved
aside to reveal Misto and a crying Mistonomy behind him. "She is deeply sorry
for lying to us and has said that she will help us if and when Macavity appears
tonight. It is up to all of you, now, to let her stay with us though."
Without hesitation Mechanism walked up to her friend and nussled her. Mistonomy
smiled a silent thank you. Shellees and Admetus werenext and then all of the
Cats except Bedrock, Demeter and Bombalurina went up to her. Demter didn't like
the fact that Mistonomy had been with Macavity all this time, Bombal was
sticking with Demeter, and Bedrock just plain still didn't like her.
"Demeter, you out of all of us should be more understanding towards Mistonomy,"
Munku said.
Demeterlooked at him and then at Mistonomy, who wasn't looking in her direction
and was still crying. She looked at Bombal and nodded. The two of them walked
over to Mistonomy and rubbed up against her shoulder.
"Well Bedrock?" Mechanism said at last. "He who stands alone, is truely alone."
Mistonomy looked at Bedrock, with a glow to her eyes and a small flower formed
in front of him. Thenshe said, "I know what Macavity and I did to you was wrong,
and I don't blame you for not liking me, but I've changed. There's nothing I can
show you to proove that I have, but I hat."
Mechanism walked down to Bedrock and ran her head under his chin. "You can trust
her. I know she's changed back to good." She said as she did so.
Bedrock looked down at Mecha, and they both walked up to join the others.
"Ok," Munku said. "This is what we're gonna do."
Macavity and his rats waited in a desolate clearing in the junkyrad waiting for
Mistonomy to show up.
Mistonomy appeared out of a junk pile and landed on all four's infront of
Macavity.
"Your late," Macavity said coldly.
"It was the first time that I could get away," Mistonomy said.
"Whatever. You know what to do during the Peke's and the Pollicle's. Get their
attention before they introduce the Rumpuscat and don't let Mistoffelees use his
powers!" Macavity snapped.
Mistonomy nodded.
"Now go! I can hear them singing about Deuteronomy now," Macavity said. As he
watched her leave, he didn't like how she hadn't snapped back at him just now.
He thought about it for a second, and then sent one of his rats to watch what
Mistonomt was doing.
The rat ran off towards the main clearing of the junkyard and Macavity and the
remaing three got into their places.
As the rat came up to the area where the Jellicles were, it could tell that the
Peke's vs. Pollicles had already started. It watched what they were doing untill
a loud meow cut Munku off.
"Macavity!" Demeter yelled.
"No! It's me!" Mistonomy said as she hopped out from her hiding place. On doing
this, she sent three, very low powered, lightning bolts hurtaling towards Munku,
Alonzo, and Jerrie.
The bolts weren't strongenough to hurt them, but the three were still knocked
down and back a bit.
Macavity's evil laugh was heard approaching the junkyrad, and then he burst out
into the clearing.
"Jellicle's prepeare for your end!" he cackled.
Munkustrap, Alonzo, and MungoJerrie stayed were they were, pretending to be more
out of it then they really were.
"Good job Mistonomy. I admit, I was having doubts after all the time you spent
with them, especially after you missed the last few reports. But I can see that
you haven't forgotten," Macavity sneered.
"Forgotten what?" Tumblebrutus asked.
Mistonomy's mind raced. What was it that Macavity was talking about? What did
she forget?!
Macavity made a gesture and all four huge rats sprang up from behind Mistonomy.
"Why my dear queen. Have you really forgotten what happened all those months
ago?" Macavity smiled. "I programed you to get those three back." And he
gestured to Mungo, Munku, and Alonzo.
"Programed?" Jennyany asked. "What do you mean?"
Macavity made a discusted face and said, "I hypnotized her the night before she
came and there's no way that she can disobey my orders. Oh, are you wondering
why you don't remember. I erased it from your mind just in case of somethinglike
this. Poor thing."
"Oh yeah?!" Mistoffelees said. "The twins and I found out about that and made it
so you can't! You'll never be able to controle her everagain!" Mistoffelees was
standing alone with one paw behind his back, conjuring away the post hypnotic
siggestion in Mistonomy's mind.
Plato stood up from where he was and went and stood with Misto, showing that he
wasn't afraid of Macavity either. Bedrock was the next to stand up. He made the
other two toms look like kittens when he stood next to them. Slowly all of the
Cats joined them, even Alonzo, Munku and Mungo, who had gottenn up off of the
ground, had joined them.
"NO! I will not be beaten by you magician! Mistonomy brlongs to me!" Then
speaking to Misty he roared, "I want you to make sure that Mistoffelees can
never use his powers again. Kill him!"
Mistoffelees swollowed hard. He didn't know if what he had done worked or not.
Mistonomy's eyes lit up white, and she raissed her paws, ready to send a bolt
out to her vistim.
"Oh Macavity," she said. "I don't think so!" And with that she sent out a huge
lightning bolt straight for Macavity.
He tried to dodge it, but was hit from behind from Mistoffelees. With a shock
like that from the front and back. Macavity was left in a sorry state. He lay
there on the ground stairing up at the two conjuring cats.
"You're a fool Macavity. I would have rather died than kill Misto. And you my
'friend' are dieing. You're gonna go to the one place not even you can escape
from. The Weys of Limbo." Mistonomy said.
Mistoffelees, Deuteronomy, Munkustrap, Alonzo, and Mungojerrie came up behind
her.
"Is that it? Is he really gone?" Alonzo and Jerrie asked.
Mistoffelees nuzzled Mistonomy and said, "Yes. Macavity is no longer a threat."
Macavity's body gave off a dull glow and sank into the ground, giving off a low
growl as it did so.
Mistonomy turned to the others and said, "I guess you want me to go now."
"Go? Why?" Pouncival asked.
"Yeah, after you and Misto just got rid of Macavity, why would you want to
leave?" Tumblebrutus asked.
"Yes, your a Jellicle now Mistonomy," Deuteronomy said with a smile on his face.
Mistonomy got a very happy look on her face and ran over and hugged Deuteronomy.
"Thatnk you all so much!" She said.
The Ball continued after that as it always had, except without Macavity's song
and no more Macavity scares. When it came time to pick the cat to go to the
Heavyside Layer, Old Deuteronomy picked Asparagus. All of the cats were happy
for Gus, but some of them (Jellylorum and Jennyanydots) were very sad to see him
go.
"Don't worry girls. He's coming back soon enough," Skimble said.
The two queens nodded.
