Hello! This is the last chapter can you believe it?! I didn't expect this story to take such a serious turn.

Oh and something I forgot to mention about Laude from the previous chapter, do any of you know him? The poem that had been discovered last year! I have a whole headcanon for this cat, please search Cumberleylaude on Tumblr to see a drawing and make up of how he looks! Gosh I hope he makes it into the show!

Enjoy the grand finale! Thank you for reading it for this long.

Jerrie's head was pounding, he forced himself to open his eyes but then immediately wished he hadn't

Rumpleteazer was crouched on the floor in front of him, ears pinned flat against her head and growling. In front of her stood Macavity, a twisted grin set on his face.

He tried to get up, he had to protect her. But he found he couldn't move. He glanced down to see his ankles and wrists were tied to a chair, he was helpless.

Macavity noticed the movement and glanced over to his ex-henchcat. "I thought you'd never wake up." He commented lightly, as if he didn't have the calico pair at his mercy. "But as you are its time we begun."

He snapped his fingers and on command Alonzo entered the room. Mungojerrie growled, he couldn't believe all along it had been him who had betrayed them and catching sight of the black and white toms paws he figured he was the reason he was in pain now.

He couldn't remember a since being knocked out, but as Rumpleteazer saw when she had been thrown into the room by Macavity, he had been beaten black and blue.

"Don't you touch 'im." Rumpleteazer hissed, moving to stand in front of her brother, not daring to take her eyes off of either tom.

"Oh my dear, it isn't him I'm after." Macavity said, nodding to Alonzo. The instructions were clear but Alonzo didn't move.

"No..." He hesitated. He couldn't hurt Teazer. He didn't dare admit it but he was rather fond of the queen. Back at the junk yard he had mated with Cassandra, knowing that having mate would lower his chances of being suspected, but his heart was with Rumpleteazer.

He thought back to the day they had first confronted her about Macavity, he still feel guilty about what he had done. But like everything it was needed to keep up appearances.

"No?" The Hidden Paw questioned, as if he didn't believe what he had heard.

Alonzo stood up straighter. "No." He confirmed, sounding much braver than he felt.

Macavity's smirk vanished, he looked furious. No henchcat dared disobey him. He lunged at him and grabbed hold of his neck. "You will do as I say." He hissed, digging his claws in, drawing the slightest bit of blood.

Alonzo found that he couldn't resist, a weird sort of calm came over him. He couldn't move or even think but when Macavity let go he knew exactly what to do.

Right before Mungojerrie's eyes the black and white tom tackled Teazer to the floor, swiping his claws across her face. The scratches soon turned to punches as the queen tried desperately to protect herself.

She cried out in pain when she felt his teeth dig into her neck. He was far stronger than she was and under Macavity's control he showed no sign of letting up.

"Stop! Please!" Mungojerrie begged, it tore him apart to see his sister get hurt. He pulled against his restraints but they wouldn't budge. "Call 'im off!" He pleaded Macavity, but the tom just watched blankly as Alonzo beat the life out of the queen he was in love with.

"Please..." Rumpleteazer whimpered, holding up a shaky paw, trying to get through to him. She was losing the strength to fight back, she didn't know how much more of this she could take.

Suddenly there was a flash of white light, illuminating the whole room and when it cleared, there stood Mistoffelees.

Misto awoke in the middle of the night, dazed and confused, he had no idea how he had gotten home. He sat up and rubbed his head, slowly remembering what had happened.

He got up, he had to go and thank the twins for bringing him home and most of all for not hating him for abandoning them before. No one else was about as he quickly made his way across the junk yard, not even Alonzo on his usual patrol.

When he got to their den he found it empty, he frowned. Where could they be in the dead of night? His mind went through many possibilities before he thought of the worst.

They wouldn't... He thought, emerging out of the empty den.

"They would." Two voices said from beside him, making him jump out of his fur. It was Coricopat and Tantomile.

Mistoffelees quickly thanked them and started running, paws starting to glow.

The magical cats appearance had broken Macavity's focus long enough for him to lose control of Alonzo, who immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Oh god...are you okay?" He asked, eyes wide in horror at what he had done and extending a paw in the queens direction.

"Just stay away from me!" She hissed, shrinking back from her attacker. Everything hurt, she was bleeding. She felt weak.

Alonzo didn't argue, he made his way to the other side of the room while Macavity's was distracted.

"Ah the Magical Mister Mistoffelees. The very cat I wanted to see." Macavity growled, a small look of triumph on his face. He had wanted his revenge on the conjurer since he had foiled his plans at the Jellicle Ball. Nobody crossed The Hidden Paw and got away with it.

Without a moments hesitation sparks began to fly, a ball of black energy shot out of Macavity's paw, aimed right and Misto's torso. But it only hit the wall behind where he had stood.

Before there was time to react Mistoffelees knocked the legs out from under him from behind and then again he was gone.

He's gotten better. Macavity thought.

He reappeared behind Mungojerrie and undid his restraints all while his enemy was picking himself up off the ground.

"Grab Teazer and run." He instructed, levitating the chair the tom had just been sitting on and hurling it in Macavity's direction.

Jerrie hurried over to his sister who was whimpering on the floor and carefully helped her up.

"Demeter..." She said quietly as her brother hoisted her up onto his back, hoping more than anything they would be able to save her too.

"Mistoffelees!" Mungojerrie called, hearing the queens name mentioned had come as a surprise but there was no time to question it.

"Got it!" He answered, narrowly avoiding a bolt of electricity that had been shot at him. "Now go!"

Alonzo, who had been keeping himself very much out of the way decided now too was his time to escape. He knew his disobedience wouldn't go unpunished. There was no going back to the Jellicles now but he couldn't stay here.

"I know where she is!" The black and white tom said, not waiting to see if the twins were ready to trust him or not. He hurried the two out of the door and started running.

The others had cleared the room just in time. Macavity was done playing games, he was angry.

He held up his paws and fired rapid bolts of electricity at his opponent, growing more frustrated when only one found its mark.

Mistoffelees stumbled back, clutching his side with one of his paws. He hissed, trying to ignore the burning.

He took a deep breath and focused, calling upon a great deal of magic. From his paws burst pure white energy, it shot across the room colliding half way with Macavity's own dark energy. The impact knocked both cats of their feet.

Mistoffelees was exhausted but he couldn't give up. He was just a moment faster recovering than Macavity but it was enough, he fled the room, desperate to catch up to the others.

To his relief they had found Demeter, he didn't have the energy to go searching for her. He didn't know what she was doing here or where they had found her but there would be time for questions later.

He first grabbed hold of Mungojerrie's paw and teleported the both of them and his sister outside. "Don't stop." He ordered before disappearing again.

As soon as he reappeared back in the hallway he heard an enraged roar behind him. Macavity was up and he was getting closer. There was no break from the lightning that shot from his paws.

"Demeter!" Misto shouted, catching hold of her next and teleporting her to safety. Alonzo however was much further ahead.

He materialised back inside just to see Alonzo struck by one of the deadly bolts of electricity before crumpling to the floor. He didn't move. He was too late.

Mistoffelees took one last look before he went back outside, this time alone.

"Alonzo?" Demeter asked hesitantly. Misto just shook his head.

He couldn't believe what had just happened. Alonzo had just been killed right in front of him. Henchcat or not he was still a Jellicle, part of the tribe, part of the family.

"Oh no.." She gasped.

There was no time to mourn their old friend. Henchcats were starting to notice them.

Mistoffelees was fading fast, he doubted he would he able to use much more magic before it knocked him out. And yet he ran, daring to shoot warnings out at the cats who had started to pursue.

Rumpleteazer was still on Jerrie's back with Demeter limping along behind. Each cat struggling to keep going but knowing if they dared stop they would end up like Alonzo.

After they reached a certain distance Misto noticed they were no longer being followed. Strange... he turned forwards once again only to see that they had not escaped at all.

From every opening came a henchcat, armed and menacing. Even the path behind them was now blocked.

Demeter bared her teeth although like her friends she was weak on her feet. Not one of them had the energy to fight.

"Hold on me..." Mistoffelees said quietly, he was already shaking but he saw no alternative.

Before the henchcats could even advance the group vanished, reappearing just inside the gates of the junk yard where Mistoffelees immediately collapsed, unconscious.

The last thing Rumpleteazer could remember was being told that Alonzo didn't make it. She had no idea how she had come to laying in Jennyanydots' den, covered in bandages.

She opened her eyes to see that the sun had long since been up. She struggled to pull herself into a sitting position but as soon as she moved her brother rushed over to her from where he had been eating on the other side of the den.

"Don' even think about it." He advised, relieved to see that she was awake at last.

He had Demeter had been patched up well by Jenny and Jelly and were now under strict instructions to rest. Demeter had gone back to the den she shared with Munkustrap to stay out of sight.

While Mistoffelees was still out cold, laying in a bed not far from Teazer.

"We made it." She smiled weakly.

"We did." Jerrie returned the smile, gently smoothing down his sisters head fur.

Not long after she drifted back off to sleep, while outside stories of their adventure spread around the junk yard.

It was some hours later when Cassandra came through the door, face pale and paws shaking. "Where is he?!" Her usual calm self nowhere to be seen.

She had heard rumours. Her sweet Alonzo had been the one to betray the Jellicles, she didn't want to believe it. Even worse she'd heard that he didn't make it back.

Rumpleteazer jolted awake, sitting up to see who it was. Her heart sank, she couldn't imagine how the queen was feeling.

Mistoffelees who had now been awake for some time decided to make his alertness known. He had been very still, letting the guilt of not being able to save Alonzo wash over him. He wasn't good enough. And now he had to face the consequences.

"I'm sorry Cass." He said softly, carefully standing. Cassandra was a dear friend to him, it broke his heart to tell her this.

"Macavity got to him first. He was trying to help us, he saved Demeter and thanks to him we made it back alive. But Macavity was too fast, I'm sorry." He bowed his head.

Cassandra sunk to the floor and buried her head in her paws and cried. Heart wrenching sobs tore from her chest. Her Alonzo was dead. No words could describe the pain the queen felt. She had planned the rest of her life with him and now he was gone.

Jerrie padded over and placed a paw on her shoulder, there was nothing he could say to make this easier.

Munkustrap didn't know what to do. He knew his mate had betrayed them all, but he couldn't bring himself to banish her.

Not long after the news spread that they had returned, she had come running to him, covered in bruises and crying.

He paced the length of his den as Demeter slept. It hurt when he had found out what she had done, but he also saw that she realised she was wrong.

"Oh Everlasting Cat..." He sighed. What would Old Deuteronomy do? Certainly not worry like this. He would know what the right thing was to do.

He was disappointed in himself, the two cats closest to him had deceived him and he hadn't realised until it was too late. He was not fit to call himself the Jellicle Protector.

At least I still have her... He couldn't imagine the pain Cassandra felt losing Alonzo. He himself felt like he wanted to scream and cry but he had to be strong. The Jellicles needed him right now, the aftermath of the events wasn't going to be easy.

He glanced over at his Demeter, deciding that she could stay. He had already lost his best friend, he couldn't loose her too.

"Hey Teaze..." Mungojerrie whispered. They had been allowed to go back to their own den, after pestering Jenny for about ten minutes straight she decided she would allow Teazer to take a slow walk home.

"Yeah Jer?"She asked, opening one eye and looking over at her brother who was curled up on the blanket next to her.

"I'm glad we're okay." He said with a small smile.

She nuzzled his head with her own and smiled. "Me too."

And as the two drifted off to sleep they had never been more relieved to be home.

I can't believe it's over! Please let me know what you thought!
I am so sorry about Alonzo my goodness.
