Chapter Eight
Revolt
(Xander's POV)
I hopped from foot to foot, excited as I ran into Calypso's basement. Mistoffelees was already in there.
"Finally!" Calypso shouted. Misto looked puzzled.
Pax and Gaia entered shortly after me. "Nice jewelry. Who'd you get it from?" I asked Gaia. She socked me in the arm. Katana entered next. And finally, little Kiseki jumped through the window from outside, which we always kept locked with magic. Well, less 'jumped', and more 'tried to crawl'.
I walked over to help her get in, and she started screaming like a banshee at me. "NO! I WANT TO DO IT MYSELF! I WANT TO BE LIKE JANE BOND!" She struggled through the window by herself. I found out there was a unicorn she had summoned to help her get in. Man, she does the strangest things.
"What's up?" Katana asked.
Calypso answered everybody's question. "Me, Pax, and Xander have been planning something for a long time."
Gaia groaned. "Why didn't we get to hear about this?" She shouted.
"We had to come up with a plan." I answered. "We all hate Macavity..." Everybody protested, except for Misto and Calypso. "Come one, admit it." They all stared at their feet. We all knew it to be true-Macavity was evil. "So, we have an idea-we have to revolt."
"What's 'redolp'? It sounds like Rudolph." Kiseki asked.
"Revolt." I answered. "It means to rebel. Rebel means to fight back against Macavity."
"You see, I have to pretend to be evil, like Macavity." Calypso said. "Then I get to leave this basement. Until then, but in secret, we...well, here's the bad part. We have to pretend to be evil. At least for a little while."
"Question: How do we know that Macavity isn't listening in on this conversation right now?" Gaia asked.
I answered that for her. "It's okay. Pax kept him busy." We all turned to look at Pax.
He giggled. "I put bleach in his shampoo." Everybody busted out laughing like crazy.
"I didn't know he used shampoo." Misto laughed.
"How could he not?" Gaia asked. She made her hair all frizzy and made it magically red really quickly and did a Macavity voice. "'It doesn't get this beautiful naturally!'" We all laughed again. She did a perfect imitation of my father. Well, maybe not. She made her voice sound like Yoda's and Oscar the Grouch's. She was kind of mocking him, which was fine with me. None of us really like him.
"So everybody, obey Macavity's orders for now. We have to be as 'wicked' as we can be" I told them.
"I'll work on my wicked face!" Kiseki proclaimed. She made the most grotesque face I had EVER seen. It was a little scary.
"You look more like your trying to digest, like, two hippos and a moose. And I'm just approximating here," Gaia told her. That made everybody laugh even more.
"You're funny." Mistoffelees told her. "Thank you." said Gaia, being polite for once. I smiled. I liked the fact that our new little brother was warming up to us.
Pax broke the laughter. "So for now, we have to be evil. Also, let's not make that face around Macavity. In fact, let's never make that face again."
She made it again.
Calypso ignored her and wished us luck. We all filed out of the room, ready to be evil. Well, sort of.
oOoOoOo
(Kiseki's POV)
I sat in front of the mirror, looking at my disgustingly horrifying evil facial expressions. I giggled at the last one I made.
"It's very disorienting to look at myself." The mirror broke when I looked back at it.
"YAY! I am so ugly!" I clapped. Then I rocked back and forth on my luxury cat bed. Until I heard a knock at my door. I opened it and saw Macavity standing there. Although his fur was bright white (which he still didn't notice yet, I think it took a long time before he actually did notice). It was kinda funny.
I made the face at him.
He screamed in a soprano voice and fell backwards, flat on his back. I burst out laughing. He scowled and got up.
"Listen Kiseki, I need to ask you something." He told me. I perked up.
"Whadda ya' want?" I asked.
He looked around as if to make sure nobody was listening. That was kinda weird. "Listen Kiseki, you know how you're good with mechanics?" he asked.
"Yeah?" I asked. Not a lot of cats know that I know tech stuff though.
He held out a red and black collar. Crimson and shadow colored ropes twined together to make it. The tag had a capital M on it.
"I want you to make a bunch of these with your powers, then insert a tracking device into each and every one of them." he said.
"Sure." I agreed, not knowing what he was planning. "How much do you want?" I asked.
"Ten more." He answered. I nodded. "Coming right up!"
He thanked me and went to leave. Before he did, I shouted "You look like Barbie!" down the hallway. He glared at me strangely, shrugged, and left. I slammed the door behind him so I could secretly lip sync to songs from Disney movies. I was currently pretending to sing 'I Won't Say I'm In Love' from 'Hercules'.
I then looked at the collars, smiling. I love mechanical things. This would be fun.
Boy was I wrong…..
I think Macavity found out about the bleach a few seconds later, because I heard a scream in the hallway.
See?! That's how easily I get distracted…
What were we talking about again? Never mind.
Bye!
oOoOoOo
(Demeter's POV)
"Are you positively sure that's what you saw?" Tugger asked Tantomile. She nodded, completely sure about her vision.
"My dream visions are never wrong." Tantomile said. Coricopat nodded in agreement. "I have to put up with her everyday, she's right." He said. Tantomile punched him in the arm without even looking.
My sister, who had just woken up, was crying again, but this time of happiness. "We know he's safe." I heard her mutter.
Tugger smirked. "I have other kids, huh?"
Oh my goodness, does he have brains in his head or not?! "No you do not (sort of)! Their someone else's" I said. I looked outside. "I'm just wondering who this psychopath father is. This whole thing is very stressful" Tantomile looked at me.
"You suspect it's somebody." She said. I looked at her like I had no clue what she was talking about.
"You think their real father is Macavity, and that's why he sent Katana. Because she's his sister, and he wants his son back." Tantomile said. She closed her eyes for a second. When they opened, they were a pale, milky white. "And you've guessed correctly."
Alonzo protested. "No. Why would he not come for me? I'm his other son!" He said, trying to avoid the truth.
Tantomile walked over to him. "I don't know. But I know I was correct. Macavity is your real father."
Alonzo shook his head. "No. No, this can't be happening."
Tanto placed her hand on his shoulder. "It's okay. It was quite a shock for Misto when he found out as well." She said, sympathy filling her words.
Alonzo turned away from us. Poor Alonzo, he must feel so bad. I thought. Even I would rather have Tugger as a father than Macavity.
I looked out the window again. Then gasped in horror at what I saw.
There was a beacon of light coming down from a thundercloud. Lightning was striking part of the junkyard.
And that part of the junkyard, was mine, Electra's, Sillabub's, and Munkustrap's den.
A/N
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THEIR DEN! ! Oh well. I hope they have good insurance. I got the blond hair dye idea from Matilda the Musical. And the title also came from Matilda the Musical. Hey, a person can love multiple musicals. And I got Jane Bond from somebody I know. Thanks to Baylee again, thanks to the readers. Critique as much as you like, just don't swear or say anything inappropriate. This fanfic is the opposite of gas station bathrooms-clean!
That's it for now, see you next time!
Sayonara (Goodbye)!
