Jellicle Cat Justice
A Cats Musical/Cats 'world' Crossover Chapter 3 – "
The next morning, instead of bickering parent waking her up, Majee was gently shaken awake by Misto. "Come on, Munk's just talking to our leader. He needs to ask you a few questions. Follow me and don't speak to anyone." As the two left the cardboard house, the sight of the Junkyard left Majee speechless. All around the Junkyard, Jellicles roamed. Some were in human form, most were cats. There were young kits playing in the clearing, motherly queens caring for the youngest, brave toms keeping watch, and elderly laying in the shade. As they headed towards an old, broken tent, two teenage queens started to stare. "Hey, Cassandra, who's that gal?" a small, black cat asked. "I don't know, Exotica, but she smells kinda strange." answered the brown and tan Abyssinian. Majee tried to ignore the two sisters and followed Misto.

Inside the old tent, sat a very old cat, which had similar colors to Munk's clothes. His coat was very shabby but his eyes were full of wisdom. He glanced up at Majee as she entered. "Hello young human, I've heard a lot about you. My name is Old Deuteronomy, leader of the Jellicles. My boy, Munkustrap, tells me you wish to join our tribe." "I…I owe my life to Misto. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here now. I feel as though I should do something in return…" "Hmmm, do you not fear your life might be in more danger if you stay? After all, you've already experienced one of Macavity's attacks. There might come a time when you are on your own in battle. Also, the Junkyard is different to your own dwelling. The tribe may not be able to bring you such food or warmth. In the winter, the nights in the Junkyard are cruel. The tribe will demand great loyalty and hard work. You will be expected to protect the tribe with you life if necessary. " "I may not know how to survive out here, but I'm willing to learn. I'll do whatever it takes to protect them. But I also have the loyalty to my family. They'll probably worry about me if I don't return home." "Understood. What we expect, is that you do return after meeting with your parents." "Yes, sir." The discussion ended and the two left the tent. "Are you sure about this, Father? She is a twoleg after all." "*Sigh* When you get to be as old as me, son, you can see the kindness deep within someone. Human or not, she is one we can trust…" "You did tell her what happens if she gets bit by a minion, right?" "Well…she'll find out eventually."
* * * *
"I shall announce her arrival to the tribe." Munk jumped upon and old car. "Let all Jellicles old enough to catch their own prey, join here beneath the TSE1 for a tribe meeting!" Every cat creature started towards the old car. One black and white spotted tom, pushed pass Majee. "Humph" Munk spoke to the tribe. "The Jellicle Tribe needs more help. Never before have we had so few to protect it. It has been decided that our tribe will take in an outsider to help fight against Macavity." The other cats started to whisper amongst themselves. "I have found someone willing to become a new Jellicle." "Hah, Lucky to become a new Jellicle." Majee heard a voice say. It was the spotted tom who pushed her. "Old D, Tugger, and Mistoffelees have met this newcomer, and they agree with me that we should train her with the other fighter cats." The tribe burst with questions. "Which tribe is she from?" "What a strange scent." "She doesn't look so strong." "I've never seen her before." "Is this really necessary?"
Suddenly, the spotted tom spoke up. "Humph, Get a load of her scent. She's nothin' but a twoleg human!!!" The tribe gasped. "Once a twoleg, always a twoleg! This tribe needs wild-born cat creatures to defend it, not another soft mouth to feed!" The tom hissed. Misto whispered in her ear. "That tortoiseshell tom is Alonzo. He smells your fear, Maj. They all do. You must prove to him, and the other cats, that fear won't hold you back." "Don't give up, young one." Old D thought to himself. "Your weak human abilities will never stand a chance out here… and those clumsy movements will make you a poor hunter at best. And worst, you'll bring more of your kind into our territory, looking for their poor, little, helpless twoleg who fills the Junkyard with her pitiful ways!" The others began to murmur between themselves about the ways of the humans. "The noise you make with your ungainliness will alert our enemies…" Majee was becoming furious. Misto whispered once again. "Do you back down from this challenge?" "…Even if your twoleg stench doesn't!!!"
"Grrrah!" Majee lunged for the tom who pounced out of the way. "Harhar… You sure know how to pick your opponents, TWOLEG!" He hissed as he changed into a semi-human form. "Why don't you just go back where you came from! Hee hee, you're making this way to fun!" Munk started toward the fight, but was stopped by Old D. "This is her fight. She must gain the tribe's acceptance, if she is to stay here." "Hehehehe, Time to teach you a lesson!" He unsheathed his claws as he lunged for her. Thinking fast, Majee darted out of the way, but still managed to get scratched in the shoulder. "You think a human like you can fight me?" The other cats began to worry. Would Alonzo really hurt this young human? "You want to become a Jellicle? How naïve!!!" Suddenly, he raced around Majee, surrounding her by a blur of black and white. There was no escape. *Swipe* "Oww" a paw shot out of the blur, knocking her off her feet. As she got up, she could barely see another paw strike her cheek and jaw. As she whipped the blood away from her mouth, she realized the answer. "I get it now. It's like a storm, the lightning in a storm. It's only visible when it strikes!" another paw shot out, but this time she managed to dodge it! "That's it! I can see him in the moment of the attack." Once more his paw tried to launch an attack. But at the last second, she grabbed him by the arm and pushed him away. The tribe was amazed. "Wow, did you see that." "That's one talented human." "How did she do that?!?" "Oh jeez, Alonzo's getting up!" "She's done for!"
"Heh, you learn fast kid, I'll give you that. But let's see you dodge this!" he leapt high into the air, flipped backwards, and started falling towards Majee. "Everlasting Cat! Not the Head Fall Smash Land!!!!" Misto thought as he rushed to try and save his friend. "Misto, DON'T!!!!" Munk called out, but it was too late. Alonzo smashed into Majee who collided with Misto. But during the impact, one of Misto's fangs slightly entered her skin! As the two got up… the entire tribe gasped. Majee's work clothes had changed, along with her hair, eyes, and ears. Instead, of normal clothes, she now wore a white tux, her eyes became purple, and her hair became white with cat ears on her head. "Wha…What's going on?!?" "Holy Vivat, Misto. You must 'av bitten her when ya two smashed ta 'gether!" Tugger said staring at her new transformation. Misto however, was so shocked, barely heard him. As Majee stared down at her new appearance, she could help but feel completely terrified. "OK, that does it! You guys had better start explaining, NOW!" "*Sigh* I knew this would happen!" Munk stepped forward. "You see, Majee, when a human is bitten by a cat creature, it transfers their cat-like powers into the human." "Wait…You mean…" "Yes, you now have Misto's powers!"
