Author's note: I don't own the kids of the corn. I have got an e-mail the character for the Micah story; I won't release her name cause I don't want to spoil the story.

Malachai of Redwall

                Malachai walked out onto the Abbey lawn, he was going to learn how to throw a spear. Leafpaw was over in the orchard setting out lunch, she waved to him, and he waved back. Jayme the hare came running over to him, "Malachai come on, Matt and I have been waiting for you."

                "What?" Malachai said as he looked up at Matt who was throwing a spear at a stuffed dummy.

                "You did want to learn how to use a spear right?" She said as she started to run.

                "Yes." He said as he ran after Jayme. Matt stopped them and handed both a spear.

                "Now to throw a spear you-" He didn't even have time to finish when Malachai threw his spear, it went into the dummy's middle.

                "Wow! Looks like you don't need us to teach you." Jayme said.

                "You are not supposed to interrupt a superior officer, bad form wot!" Matt said as he walked over and pulled the spear from the dummy.

                "Lunch!" Solarblade yelled from the orchard.

                "I was famished from all this training." Matt said running full speed to the orchard. Malachai walked over to the tables, Leafpaw waved him over to where she was sitting.

                "I saved you a seat next to me." She said motioning to the seat right beside her.

                "Thank you." Malachai said he was sitting between Leafpaw and Solarblade.

                "You have to try this deeper'n ever pie." Solarblade said handing Malachai a plate with a large slice of pie on it.

                "Okay." He ate the entire slice before Solarblade could even finish his, "That was good, my compliments to who ever made it."

                "That would be Foremole and his crew that made that." Leafpaw said pointing to a mole at another table. After lunch almost everybeast went back to training, Malachai decided to lie under a pear tree and take a quick nap. Leafpaw walked up to him, "Don't go to bed yet."

                "I'm not." Malachai said.

                "Yes you were, come on we can go walk along the wall tops." Leafpaw said as he got up.

                "Okay." Malachai said, she took his hand and led him up the stairs to the wall tops.

                "Isn't beautiful?" She said as she leaned against him.

                "Yes it is." He stared out at the woods. They walked around the wall tops until sunset, the Abbey bells rang out that it was time for dinner. They came in the dining hall Leafpaw sat down but Malachai didn't.

                "Come on." She said patting the chair next to her.

                "No I'm going to go to bed." He smiled and walked up the stairs, "Good night."

                "Good night." She said as she began to eat. Malachai sat on his bed looking out the window, he never wanted to go back to Gatlin he was happy here. The war that was about to take place bothered him, there was to be bloodshed in front of this peaceful place.

                "Malachai." Solarblade said he came in with a tray and sat down next to him.

                "What?" He looked at the badger lord.

                "Something is troubling you, what is it?" Solarblade handed him the tray.

                "I don't know." He took the tray and lifted the lid; it was some scones, a slice of pie, a bowl of vegetable soup, and a beaker of strawberry fizz, "I wish this place didn't have to see bloodshed."

                "Yes me too." Solarblade got up, "I must get back down there, good night."

                "Good night." Malachai began to eat a scone, after he was done eating he fell into a deep slumber; he didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day. He went outside, they were training again, and he didn't feel like training.

                "Tomorrow is the big battle." Jayme said.

                "Yeah." Malachai said Leafpaw came out of the gatehouse covered in dust.

                "Hello Malachai." She said as she dusted herself off.

                "Hi, what were you doing that got you all dusty?" He said trying not to sneeze.

                "We were looking up to see if any other humans came to Redwall, but no luck so we documented you in the records." Leafpaw said as she took Malachai's hand, "Come on let's go to the pond."

                "Okay." She took him to the pond so she could wash off all the dust.

                "We already had lunch and there is no more training for me and you to do, we could go help make dinner in the kitchen." Leafpaw said drying off.

                "That sounds great." He said, "I'll race you there."

                "Okay." They started running. In the kitchen Friar Brandon was yelling and throwing a fit.

                "No! Don't put that up there! Not so much flour! You Dibbuns get out of the kitchen! Matt stay away from the cake! I'm going to be gray furred if you all don't stop throwing rocks in the scone mix." Friar Brandon said trying to get the Dibbuns out of the kitchen. Malachai and Leafpaw walked in, "Please do something."

                "Malachai you do something." Leafpaw said, Malachai got a large soup pot, filled it with water, and handed it to Friar Brandon to boil.

                "We'll come back in once the water starts boiling, yell I need some help. That will be our secret words. Got it?" Malachai winked at Brandon.

                "Oh yes!" Friar Brandon put the water on to boil. Malachai and Leafpaw left the kitchen; it wasn't long before the water began to boil, Brandon put a lid on the pot, "Stop it you Dibbuns, I need some help!"

                "It smells good in here." Malachai said as he walked in, he went over to the pot, lifted the lid, sniffed, and smiled, "My favorite, Dibbun soup."

                "Mine too." Solarblade said as he walked into the kitchen, all the Dibbuns got quiet.

                "There's not enough Dibbuns in it." Malachai said Solarblade nodded.

                "Don't eat us, mista Malafry." A baby mouse said clinging to Malachai's pant leg.

                "We will if you don't get out of the kitchen and go play else where." Solarblade said all the Dibbuns ran out of the kitchen.

                "That got rid of them, now what did you come in here for?" Friar Brandon said.

                "Leafpaw and I came to help you." Malachai said.

                "I came down here to get Matt, come on Matt or I'll make hare soup out of you." Solarblade said.

                "Okay you didn't have to say it like that wot." Matt said leaving the kitchen.

                "What do you two want to help me do?" Friar Brandon said.

                "Cook!" They said together.

                "You can decorate a cake with candied chestnuts and rose petals and meadowcream icing." Brandon said pointing to an undecorated cake.

                "Okay." Leafpaw said she and Malachai began to decorate it.

                "Malachai you eat another one of the chestnuts and I'm going to make you leave." Friar Brandon said.

                "I wasn't eating the chestnuts." He said as he was talking a chestnut fell out of his mouth.

                "Sure you weren't." Brandon said. They spent the rest of the afternoon cooking and decorating. The dinner was going great until Malachai and Leafpaw wanted everybeast to try their deeper'n ever scone an' chestnut an' apple pie.

                "This looks lovely." Abbess Samantha said as she accepted a piece of the odd pie, everybeast tried it.

                "Yuck! This is nasty." Matt said as he put his paw over his mouth.

                "I vote never to let Leafpaw or Malachai back in the kitchen." Solarblade said pushing his piece of pie away.

                "Aye." Everybeast said minus Leafpaw and Malachai. They all ate in a hurry and shooed the Dibbuns off to bed.

                "Now tomorrow probably right after the sunrises will be when Deathsong will attack." Solarblade said, "So I want you all to be up just as the sun starts to rise so we can be ready."

                "Okay then we need to get to bed now." Abbess Samantha said they nodded in agreement, "Right to bed all of you."

                When Malachai went to bed he couldn't seem to go to sleep, he didn't want to go and fight. Finally after tossing and turning he fell into a dreamless sleep.

                "Wake up Malachai the sun is rising." Solarblade who was standing there in battle armor shook Malachai awake.

                "I'm up." Malachai got up.

                "Abbess Samantha has something for you, follow me." He followed Solarblade outside where everybeast was standing.

                "Malachai come here." Samantha said he came over. Abbess Samantha pulled out a sword it wasn't very big to Malachai but it was a beautiful and dangerous sword, "Martin the Warrior, the founder of this Abbey, came to me again in a dream and said you should take his sword into battle. Use it well."

                "Stripedog, it is just about full sunrise get ready to die!" They heard Deathsong call out to them. Full sunrise came quickly to the fighters; Solarblade opened Redwall's large doors to the open plains, "Charge! Kill the stripedog and the odd thing!"

                "Our turn. Charge!" Solarblade said as he ran out swinging his sword, "Eulaliaaaa!"

                Malachai took one look at the Abbey and ran out into the battle, his fate unknown.
