Chapter 14 – "Sailing Into The Lion's Den"

Back in the dungeon, Maj was completely confused. Weren't these two supposed to be evil? After all, they did work for Deravity, the cat that hell spat back out. And why ask her for help? "I…I don't understand. What does this have to do with me?" "Well, unlike us…you have someone out there that's looking for you." Bella spoke with a voice full of sorrow. Maj finally realized what the two thieves meant. They were just a pair of well-mannered cats who had made the mistake of joining the dark side and now wanted to right their wrongs. "Well, if you got a plan, then I'm in." And, at that very moment, a new friendship was made. "Well…we can't just blow dis joint now. Da Hell Cat would find us out and kill us easily. So, when those friends of yours come, then it's Bon Voyage to dis place!"

"Well, this be 't. She only holds up t' 14 cats, but she can sail in all kinds o' weather." Morgan led the toms to a cat-sized, pirate's ship. It was once a remote control model of Sir Henry Morgan's pirate ship (minis a few details), but had the gears removed and the words S.S. Faber an' Faber written on the side. "Are you sure about this plan?" Misto felt uneasy as he stared at the ship. "I mean, sure it's worked before, but…the SEWER?!?" They had already gone over the plan. They'd sail through the underground tunnels of the sewer to Deravity's lair, sneak in through the pipes, and get Maj out the same way they came. "Who knows what's down there!?"

"ARRR, `Tis be th' fastest way t' get t' Deravity's lair." The retired Pirate Cat looked him strait in the eye. "We go on foot, an' she'll be in Davy Jones` Locker by th' time we get thar."

"Morgan's right. The sewer's our only chance." Usagi said jumping onto the deck. "Now, we need to decide whose coming."

"Not too many, th' weight slows down th' ship. About six, minis me-self an' Splinter, will do."

"Right, of course Munk and I are coming. Anyone else?"

"Don't forget me." Burmie stepped forward. "I know Deravity's hideout like the back of my paw."

"Tugger, you're coming too." Munk said.

"What?!? Why me!?" The Maine Coon would rather stay and 'watch over' the queens.

"Aww, what's wrong? You're not scared are ya, Fluffy?"

Tugger's ears pricked up, "FUZZY IDIOT SAY WHA!?!?!? GRRRRR, I'll prove you wrong, Fuzz Brain!!!!" He jump onto the top deck, bumping the Burmese as he stormed past.

"Don't forget me." Shadow came forward. "I'm not about to stand around and let that bastard kill my little sister."

Misto just couldn't stop thinking of what happen before all this misfortune…how Maj agreed to be his mate. Suddenly, his sadness turned to anger and his shyness left. "Count me in too." His voice was full of determination as the lights on his jacket lit up, "If he or Macavity even try to hurt her, I'll zap them with all I got! They'll be sorry they messed with The Conjuring Cat!!!"

"Talk about a strong love." Shadow thought as he sensed how determined the young tom was. "You really picked an amazing tom as a mate, Maj. Let's just hope you'll live long enough to be with him again." And with that, the team started off towards the sewer.

Sorry it's so short…and late. I've been on vacation and haven't been able to use the internet or get any inspiration. Hope you like this chapter. I loved thinking up Morgan's ship and pirate language. Also, in the next chapter Shadow is hit with a painful memory and Misto's love and longing for Maj get stronger. See ya!

I DON'T OWN CATS!!!!
