Chapter 16 – "The Wild Runners Have Left the Building!"

"Psst! Maj... Mademoiselle Maj!" The magical cat awoke to find Bella inside her cell. The French thief looked very worried. "W-what is it Bella? What's wrong?" "Monsieur Frisk and I 'ave a feeling your friends are coming tonight." She whispered and looked towards the door. It was then that Frisk entered along with four kittens. "These are our children. We know we can't just leave them 'ere with the Hell Cat. He's already done away with our son, Scorn." Maj looked down at the four kits; three queens and a tom. They had their parents' fur color, but the youngest queen and the tom had spots instead of stripes. "Our plan," Frisk explained as he made sure the kits were hidden in the shadows, "is to 'ide them in 'ere with you. We can't stay, but we'll be close by. Once your friends come, the youngest will signal us. We'll escape together." "Good luck my loves," Bella whispered to the young kits, "stay safe for now." And with that, the two left the prison, leaving Maj alone with the four kits.

The tom came up to her. He seemed to be the oldest of the group. "Hi, my name is Alfa." He smiled. Surprisingly, they did not have a French accent like their parents. "and these are my sisters, Slashaa, Gnipper, and Lil' Killaa." "Hmm, those are pretty gruff names for French cats." Maj replied trying to make them feel comfortable. They seemed completely terrified. "Grrr, it wasn't our choice!" Slashaa snapped. "The Hell Cat chose our names! I wanted to be called Marie." Lil' Killaa giggled. "You really think that name would work for a Rock Star cat?" "Rock star?" Maj was confused. "When we finally get out of here," Gnipper clarified, "we want to start a rock band. We call ourselves the Wild Runners." As the clouds moved away from the moon, Maj could also see their Rock Star gear. Alfa wore a red sleeveless shirt and a black vest. Slashaa had a purple long sleeve shirt with a skull on the front and a long black coat with short sleeves. Gnipper had on a Red ripped skirt with a black leather coat with lots of zippers and a large collar that stood up. And Lil' Killaa's gear was a wild black jacket with a red fur collar trim and black pants with many pockets. "Gnipper's right." Alfa explained, "I'm the lead singer and play the bass. Slashaa plays the keyboard, Gnipper's on the drums, and Lil' Killaa is the lead guitarist. *sigh* Once we get out of here, life is gonna be so much better." Gnipper started to tap a rockin' beat against the wall and the four kits started to sing:

Alfa: Stayed awake all night toss and turnin'
Now my blood shot eyes are burnin'
Workin' out why this ain't workin'
All: Fight after fight after fight
Alfa: And now it's killin' me
You were too busy to believe in
All the run-away dreams I was dreamin'
Time to pack up and go I'm leavin'
All: Fight after fight after fight
Killaa: And now I gotta bale!

Alfa: How'd you end up oh so jaded?
Semicolon, so sedated
Can't live in this world you created
All: Day after day after day
Killaa: And now I gotta bale!

You will always be the lonely one
You will always try to swallow the Sun
Alfa & Slashaa: Just remember you could never make it rain on everyone

Alfa: (quietly)On my own
And living in a world alone
Gets better every day
Cause I don't have to say...
(loud)And now you're killin' me

All: On My Own
And living in a world alone
Gets better every day
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
I'm gonna make it on my own
I'll always take the harder road
Gets better every day
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
Killaa: I'll make it on my own
Queens: I'm sorry I won't be coming home
Alfa: I'll make it on my own
Queens: I'm sorry I won't be coming home
Killaa: I'll make it on my own
Queens: I'm sorry I won't be coming home
Alfa: I'll make it on my own!

"Ok gang, this is it! Yo, Fluffy! Make yourself useful and hand me the crowbar!" "Get it yourself, Fuzzy!" "Tugger!" "Alright, alright. Don't get ya tail in a knot, Munk."

The rescue party had finally made it. They had sailed directly under Deravity's lair and Bermie was now trying to pry open a drain cover to sneak inside. "Now, we all remember the plan?" Usagi whispered. "Sorry I wasn't listening..." Tugger shrugged. Misto rolled his eyes. "I was. While Morgan and Splinter watch the ship, we sneak in through the floor, find Maj, break her out, and sneak straight back here." "And..." "And if we run into any trouble, Shadow, Masquerade and I will form some sort of illusion. We don't want to be caught." "Right." *CLANK*"Got it! Bingo. We're in, let's move!" Misto's heart was racing. They had made it to the lair and he was closer than ever to getting his mate back. He could almost catch her beautiful scent from here. Wait...it was her scent! "This way, come on!"

*sniff-sniff* "Misto?" Maj thought as the Wild Runners finished their song. She looked towards the door, and tried to gaze out the little barred window. "What's the matter, Maj?" Slashaa whispered. Maj smiled, her eyes not leaving the door. "Get ready to taste freedom, kits. We're bustin' out of here!" As if on a silent signal, *WHAM SLAM SLASH* "OOF!" Roscoe and DeSoto were knocked out cold. "Shadow, you hair brained idiot! We were supposed to make an illusion!" "A little revenge never hurts...except to them!" "Shadow, Masquerade, Misto?" "Just hang in there Maj!" And with the turn of a key, the two magical lovers were reunited. Her shackles were released and the two embraced each other and began to sing:

Maj: Nobody listens to me
Don't hear a single thing I've said
Say anything to soothe me
Anything to get you from my head
Don't know how I really feel
The faith it takes to make like I don't care
Don't know how much it hurts
To turn around like you were never there
Like somehow you could be replaced
And I could walk away from the promises we made
And swore wed never break

Maj & Misto: I thought I lost you (when you ran away to try to find me)
I thought I'd never see your sweet face again
I turned around and you were gone and on and on the days went
But I kept the moments that we were in
'cause I hoped in my heart you'd come back to me, my friend
And now I got you, but I thought I lost you

Misto: I felt so empty out there
And there were days I had my doubts
But I knew I'd find you somewhere
Because I knew I couldn't live without
You in my life for one more day
And I swore I'd never break those (promises we made)

Both: I thought I lost you when you ran away to try to find me
I thought I'd never see your sweet face again
I turned around and you were gone and on and on the days went
But I kept the moments that we were in
'cause I hoped in my heart you'd come back to me, my friend
And now I got you, but I thought I lost you

Misto: I told myself I wouldn't sleep 'till I searched the world from sea to sea

Maj: I made a wish upon a star, I turned around and there you were

Now here we are, are
Here we are
I thought I lost you

Misto: I thought I lost you, too

Maj: I thought I lost you

Misto: I thought I lost you

Maj: Yeah

Both: I thought I lost you when you ran away to try to find me
I thought I'd never see your sweet face again
I turned around and you were gone and on and on the days went
But I kept the moments that we were in
And I knew in my heart you'd come back to me, my friend
And now I got you, but I thought I lost you

Maj: But I thought I lost you

Misto: I thought I lost you, too

Both: So glad I got you, got you

Maj: So glad I got you, yeah, yeah
I thought I lost you

Misto: I thought I lost you, too

"Come on, lovebirds!" Burmie teased. "We can't stay here!" "Right." Maj was about to leave when Lil' Killaa tugged on her tail. "Just one sec. My new friends are coming with me." And with that, the youngest Wild Runner called out down the hall. "Lil' Killaa out for blood!" And the French Thieves rejoined the band of kits. Munk and Usagi stared. These cats worked for Deravity, yet Maj seemed to trust them. "Are you sure about them?" "I'd trust them with my life. They're friends." "GRRRR, More like traitors!" a sinister voice came from behind. And who should they turn to see, but none other than the Hell and Mystery Cats, Macavity and Deravity! The kits sang as they trembled.

Alfa: Don't hesitate to remember everything
From this never-ending drama monologue
don't leave your hate in surrender
Try to save all the friends that you have lost...

All: Save yourself from everything that you have learned
Save yourself from all the trust you never earned
We will all learn from the burning out
We will all learn from the liar's mouth
Save yourself from everything you have learned

Alfa: It's easy to forget where you are and where you've been
So far in this business of inconsistent paper stars
So let us die or let us live
If you want blood there's none to give
Just stop asking for the right
To drain us all dry tonight

All: It's easy to forget who you are
In this business of these paper stars
It's easy to forget who you are
In this business of these paper stars [x2]
