Okay, then! here's the next chapter of Mobius Gone Catty! This chapter took a little bit longer for me to type up, and is a bit shorter than the other ones, but it's better than nothing!

Where Is ThunderClan?

A purple cat was journeying through an abandoned city. Except for a few birds singing in the trees dotted around the landscape, it was quiet and empty. Blaze liked things this way; quiet and peaceful. So this was a place she visited often, just to be by herself.

Just as she was beginning to relax, her cell-phone buzzed in the pocket of her dress-like robe. A little jingle one of her friends had sung for her played from it. Blaze, glancing at the screen, smiled once she saw who was calling.

"Hi, Silver," Blaze greeted.

"Hello, Blaze! How are things going back in the days of old?" a voice teased playfully, followed by a laugh.

"Silver, just because you come from the future doesn't mean I live in the 'days of old'."

"From this point of view, you do! Do you know how many 'vintage' items I've sold to people already? Most of them were gifts from Sonic!" Blaze giggled a little.

"Anyways, what'd you call for? Or did you just want to call me an old-timer?"

"Well, uh…the future's changing again." Silver suddenly switched from lighthearted and happy to a more serious tone. "I just woke up one morning and just about every cat on Mobius, in my time, are mindless slaves to Eggman Nega! I think it's connected to something in your time. Something that happens soon."

"Really?! I'll have to tell Sonic as soon as I—hey, wouldn't it be weird if I was in the City of Ruins alone, and I saw this really bright light in the distance?"

"Hm…are you sick or injured in any way?"

"No…"

"Are you slowly dying?"

"Silver, be serious! You just saw me last week!" Blaze scolded.

"Hey, the Black Death would kill people in three days! It could've been something like that!"

"Have you been reading 'horror history books' again?" There was a small silence before Silver responded.

"Maybe…okay, and you said there was nobody else with you?"

Blaze shook her head, stepping toward the light. "Not that I know of…"

"Could it be a Chaos Emerald?"

"I don't know; I'm gonna check it out."

"Switch it to Video Chat!" Blaze held out her phone and tapped a button on the screen. Almost immediately, the screen switched to a silvery-gray hedgehog with golden eyes, reading a book titled 'The Black Death; The Silent Killer'.

"Actually, the Black Death wasn't silent at all, Silver." Blaze stated.

"Huh?" Silver looked up and flinched, setting the book to the side. "Oh, you did it already. Well, lead the way, then!"

"Since when did you get to order me around? I'm older than you!" Blaze teased, holding the phone so Silver could see what she was seeing anyways. Then she began to walk towards the light.

By the time the 'duo' had gotten to where they thought it was, the light had disappeared. Instead, on the ground, was an orange Mobian cat, with a small yellow star marking on his right shoulder. He looked a bit feral, and there was also the tiny fact that he was unconscious.

"By the looks of what happened, he was Chaos Controlled here." Blaze stated, kneeling by the cat.

"But if he used Chaos Control, he shouldn't be knocked out. Now, if he crossed dimensions—" Before Silver could say another word, the cat moaned and his eyes flickered open. As soon as he saw the two in front of him, he screamed and backed away before calming himself down. Blaze noticed that his eyes were an emerald green.

"Um…hi?" Blaze greeted warily.

"Hello," the cat murmured with a brisk nod. Then he looked around him. "This isn't ThunderClan territory! Where am l; how did l get here?"

Blaze gnawed on the inside of her lip, standing straight. "You're in an old city, and… I don't know."

"What?! But I was just on patrol there and…and…I'm confused." He smoothed his fur and shut his eyes, calming down with a twitch of his ear. "I am not sure what's going on here."

"Can explain what happened to us the best you can?" Silver asked politely but urgently.

"Um…well, I was on a patrol in ThunderClan territory when we found this green rock. It was about this big," the cat made a sort of diamond shape with his hands. "And it was green, like my eyes. Once we got 'too close' to it, it started glowing! Then this white beam of light shot into the sky, and there was a flash, and then BAM! I woke up here." He blinked and for the first time seemed to notice his hands.

"Wait—by the Dark Forest!" The flame-colored cat scrambled up and looked down at himself. "I'm-l'm a furred Twoleg!"

Blaze held her hands out. "Calm down. We'll figure this out, and….fix you, l suppose, if you aren't what you were. It's easy, and l have a friend who's an expert on this sort of thing." The cat tensed, but nodded imperceptibly. "Alright. Silver, what do you think?"

"Sounds like Chaos Control to me." Silver said.

"That's an odd term. I'm Clan Leader, and I find it pretty hard to control any sort of Chaos! I don't think touching a shiny rock would give me that ability." He twitched his ear and grinned slightly.

"Hm…now that I think about it, it is a pretty weird name for it." Silver frowned over the comment.

"You said something about being a leader?" Blaze asked, desperately trying to change the subject before Silver wrote a paper on the whole thing.

"My name is Firestar, and I'm the leader of ThunderClan…wherever it is." Firestar said with pride, his boisterous claim tempered by the last statement.

"Firestar? Do you have the power of the flames?"

"Not that I know of. Fire is destructive, and none l know can control it. Like Chaos…can people control those kind of things in whatever place this is?"

"I can, but let's test you before we get into that." Blaze cut him off before he could ask. "Hold out your hands." Firestar obediently held his hands out in front of him, although he did look a bit confused. "Now think of fire. A desert. Anything hot." The orange Mobian closed his eyes and began to focus.

In a few seconds, a tiny flame appeared in the palm of his hands. "Okay. Open your eyes." Firestar opened his eyes and yowled in shock.

"How is this possible?!" he exclaimed, turning his hands over and watching the fire race along his knuckles. "How am I not burnt?!"

"You have the power of the flames, like Blaze!" Silver said.

"You can control fire?" The ThunderClan leader was awestruck.

"Yes. And people who control fire don't get burnt by their powers. Like how people who control water don't get wet, or how people who control the Earth don't get dirty easily." Blaze stated.

"That's possible?" Firestar seemed daunted by the prospect, but shook his head. "StarClan can do anything, l suppose it's not too unrealistic to expect the same thing from you creatures."

"Hey, you're one of 'us creatures' now too!" Blaze bopped his nose, making the cat blink in shock. "Now we should get going; you need some clothes." At that, Blaze turned off her phone and lead Firestar out of the ruins and towards the more modernized city; Station Square.

Okay, so that's that. I'll try to start publishing chapters quicker, and they might get a lot longer than this one. So yeah...
