When they reached the glade Mozart stopped. She stood, eyes riveted on the spot where Shawnti lay. The little cat was suddenly transported back to the jailbreak that went wrong. She was fighting, she heard someone say “Cut her down! Kill her!” then she was mauled by numerous creatures of evil. Then she saw the face of Shawnti, grinning evilly at her. Mozart had not forgotten that face, and this she-cat and that had the same face.
But then Mozart saw something else. This picture was of a little cat sitting in a glade, weeping bitterly. Then the kitten shook her fist and cried “I won’t go like they did! I’ll be on the side of evil, so this will never happen again!” then the picture changed, from a young cat, to an adult, and to what Shawnti had eventually become. A monster, so twisted with anger and strife that she cared for only herself. She had hurt more creatures then that little kitten in the glade would have ever thought.
Mozart swallowed hard and turned to Caspian who was slowly advancing on Shawnti, sword drawn. But Sanga stopped him and hissed,
“This is your sister’s decision, let that cat be.”
Mozart walked over to Shawnti, who was now awake.
“Are you going to kill me?” she said in a cracked voice.
“You’ve tried to kill me many times. Once you thought you did, but I survived. If I killed you now I’d be no better than you. But its not just warrior code that keeps me back, Shanti-yes I know your real name- its something only true warriors ever have. Compassion and mercy. And today I show those to you.” Then Mozart took out her little bottle, and poured a drop into Shawnti’s mouth. The she-cat though wasn’t fully healed, but her worst wound was gone.
“You have the power to heal me completely, yet why do you not?” questioned Shawnti.
“Because you have made many- including me and my siblings- suffer, so it is only fair if you to must suffer some.”
Shawnti smiled, and when she smiled she became herself, Shawnti became Shanti.
“You are a true Warrior, Mozart the Meerkitten, a true warrior.”

more as requested :
Mozart looked around the room to each grim face. Catlition was there, as well as Dora, Jako, Jak, Misty, Sanga, Tori, the whole LFF Catlition, Mozart, Toto, Caspian and Dorthy’s adopted family, the elders of Reandalawo and Shawnti.
Tori shook her head sadly “No, no we can’t take an entire army over that ridge, we’d surely be seen!”
“Well we don’t need to get the whole army over, ma’m, we just need to get Mozart and the LFF Catlition over! They’ll get us in the rest o’ the way.” said Brightheart confidently.
“I’m not risking my kits on this!” cried Tori, who was trying to think of any excuse to keep Frodo, Shadow and Smokey at Reandalawo.
“But mummy, we wanna go, Frodo an’ Mozart take care o’ us lil girls, wight, Mozart?” said little Smokey hopefully.
Ribbony smiled at Tori and whispered to her, “Let me handle these ‘uns miss.” Then he walked over to the little kittens and spoke to them as if they were very important.
“Now lookie here kittos, this’ll be a big mission, full o’ danger that’d scare your very fur off you… You kits got what it takes to do that?”
He received a hearty, “Yes sir!” to his question.
Explorer got into it and whispered to the kits,
“Now kits, jus tell your ma that an’ we’ll be good, eh?”
Frodo nodded solemnly and said “But mummy don’t want us tu go venturin, what we gonna do?”
This time Creamy, who normally stayed quiet spoke to them.
“Jus sneak along wearin Mozart’s stone, tis all you kits gotta do.”
The kittens smiled and Frodo spoke to them for a moment, then smiling disarmingly, Shadow spoke in her sweetest voice to her mother.
“O’ course we can’t go on ventures, we gotta de’end Reantralawo ‘case dee plan don’t work.”
“Ya and we gotta guard dee prisoner too.” Added Smokey (oh and the prisoner she meant was Shawnti, though the she-cat was rendered harmless)

Now look, please tell me if you can think of a better way to word anything or if I have spelling errors that aren't when someone is talking or some other thing. I tell you this is only the rough draft and its headed towards the end. If you have suggestions about a scene you think I should add, Tell me (such as when I talked to my cousin about things I could add to lenghten my story, she suggested the Siege.)
Ok thats over, now onto the story:
“Good.” Tori smiled and settled down.
“Now onto business.” Said Dora just a tad impatiently.
“This is the plan,” began Mozart, “Or at least a rough outline, that me and my Catlition came up with. We’ll get over the wall, then open the gate. You all have to be out hidden in the trees, don’t let the enemy see you until I give the signal…”
“Whats the signal?” asked Jak.
“The signal is…” Mozart thought a moment then shrugged, “Caspian, what d’you think the signal should be?”
“Well to me its obvious.”
“What?!?” came many anxious voices.
Caspian grinned, “Mozart’s little white scarf. All she needs to do is wave it ‘round in the air.”
It was Mozart’s turn to smile.
“Good idea Caspian!” she said eagerly.
“We’ll be up on the wall, takin’ out any guards we can!” cried Dorthy.
“Yes, and hopefully they won’t be able to raise the alarm when we’re done with ‘em!” squeaked Toto.
Myrrh shook her head. These four tiny kittens she had sent off on a mission so unsure and scared, had become Warriors. Toto, the firstborn and perhaps most responsible of the kittens, had gotten his sister and friend out of prison. Dorthy had become one of the best archers the old she-cat had ever seen. Caspian, still protective of his siblings- especially Mozart- was now much more controlled. And Mozart, her baby Mozart, was no longer a kitten…
Now Mozart was a warrior.
Missy was thinking much the same things about her FSS. The three were developing into regular little fighters. Frodo had always protected his sisters and always taken it upon himself to do the most dangerous things. Smokey always following her brother’s stead, had begun to come out of her shell. Shadow had become happier and less serious as she had once been. Missy was glad that her kittens were growing up, and getting stronger.

“Sounds like a good plan t’me.” said Bright happily.
“Wipe that silly grin off your face Brightheart, we’ll be happy after we win… or if we win.” Ribbony spoke grimly.
Jako, Jak and Misty had been talking in hushed tones amongst themselves, now Flower noticed them.
“Hey, what are you boys up to? Composing another silly song for when we win?”
Jako shook his head, “No, Flower. We are talking of something else…”
“And that is?” demanded Dora.
Jako sighed, but before he could say a word Misty spoke.
“Well y’see miss Dora, we were making a rescue plan to free my mother out of Cogg’s dungeons.”
Jako glared angrily at his son.
“Misty, Misty, have you never heard me say think before you speak? I supposed that’s it in a nutshell though…”
“Outrageous! Crazy! Foolish! Absurd! Shall I go on?”
“Er, no sis, I’ll handle this.” Ribbony cut in, much to everyone’s relief.
Ribbony went over to Jako. Jako was a full grown cat, in his prime, yet there was something about Ribbony that made Jako seem like a kitten compared to a lion. Though Ribbony was slowly getting older and hardly in his prime anymore, he was large for any tom-cat.

“Now Jakie- yes I have right to call you that, I did when you were a tiny kit- as I just mentioned I’ve known you since before you were even able to toddle about, Rita too. I watched you two and even Tori some, grow up together. Now I know you love Rita, Jakie, but you Jak, and Misty can’t slip past Cogg’s defenses. You could endanger us, yourselves and this mission. After the battle you can search for Rita.
Tears had begun to form in Misty and Jak’s eyes. The fact that they couldn’t look for Rita (who was a mother to them both) hit them hard.
“Ribbony I at least want to know if my mother is dead or not!” there was pleading in Misty’s voice.
Ribbony shook his head, “I’m sorry kits, but I can’t let you.”
“I could help.”
In the midst of it all Mozart jumped right in trying to help. She hated to see anyone feeling sad or unhappy.
“What do you mean Mozart?” asked Toto concernedly.
“Ribbony said that Jako, Jak and Misty couldn’t slip past Cogg’s defenses, they could.”
Surprised mutters followed this statement.
“How?”
Mozart answered Jak’s question coolly, “Just use my blue stone. You’ll be invisible, then you COULD slip past Cogg’s defenses.”

Three pairs of hopeful eyes turned to Ribbony.
Mozart walked past them and whispered to them as she did,
“Just lemme handle this boys.”
Mozart walked up in front of Ribbony and flashed her adorably intense blue eyes at him.
“Pwetty Pwease, Ribbony?” she cooed in her sweetest voice.
Ribbony tried to avoid her eyes, unsuccessfully.
“Ok, ok you boys can go, if you use Mozart’s stone.”
Frodo’s heart sank. If Jako and co. were to have the stone what would he and his sisters do?
‘Jus’ ‘aveta sneak in some other way den.’ He thought.

Chapter 23
Enter the Fortress
Enter the Fortress
A small shadowy creature crept towards the walls of Cogg’s fortress. Suddenly a white spot appeared where the shadow had been. If it hadn’t moved you may’ve thought it was a white mushroom, but it glided towards a tree, then began to climb upwards. Other shadowy figures followed the white creature.
The LFF Catlition was headed for Cogg’s fortress.
Mozart lead the group, trying to keep calm. The White Cat had appeared to her the night before. He had told her not to be afraid, and to expect the unexpected. He had also told her that he would be with her through all her trials.
Mozart now stood on the wall. She didn’t look back to see if the others had followed her, instead she crouched low and crawled along slowly, making no noise as she went along.
Caspian watched the white in front of him move slowly, but steadily along. He was extremely proud of his sister, whom he had always sought to protect.
‘Now,’ thought Caspian ‘She can protect herself… I think… Still I better keep an eye on her, lest she do anything silly.’
Toto’s ears swiveled, alert for any sound of danger. If anything happened to his siblings he would never forgive himself.
‘Mr. White Cat, please protect my siblings and friends, I don’t care what happens to me, just as long as they’re safe.’ And Toto’s prayer was not forgotten later when tragedy struck them, but I am getting ahead of myself.
Dorthy clutched her bow in one paw and an arrow in the other. She felt her bloodlines stirring within her small body. She was the kit of a great warrior, and she felt it then. Vaguely she recalled when she and Toto had been trying to find Mozart and Caspian. Toto had said ‘Let’s see what these weapons mama gave us can do!’ but she understood what Toto had meant.
‘Let’s see what we can do.’
Flower shook with excitement. Her bow was slung on her back, along with a quiver full of arrows. She was not as good as Dorthy with a bow and arrow, but was pretty good by any standards. This would be a great battle, and she was to take part in it. When she was old and gray, thought Flower, she would tell her grand-kits of that great day when she was young.
Midnight was on edge, acting much like Toto. He came last in the silent procession. Looking from side to side he took stock of their position- which was a good one- and calculated where the guards would attack from when they were seen.
‘Always gettin’ inta trouble, tis what mum would tell us. Guess she was right.’ He thought.

Jako waited eagerly from below, watching for the signal. For when the signal came, he must be ready to grab Mozart’s stone as it fell from the parapets. Mozart had said she would throw it down to him then he, Misty and Jak could run in to find Rita.
Misty was sure of who the warrior was, and that she had come. That meant that his family would be re-united. Misty knew that he had many other siblings, who they were though he had never known.
‘Now I will! I’ll meet my whole family… and see Rita again!’ shaking with anticipation, Misty stared upward to the wall.
Jak too watched, and though two other pairs of eyes watched, it was he who spotted the blue stone fall from the walls. He ran forward and caught it.
‘So it begins.’
Mozart slipped silently through the doorway of the gatehouse. The guards were asleep, that is until they felt Dorthy and Flower’s arrow points tickling their throats.
“Give us the key to the door an’ nobody gets hurt.” hissed Dorthy.
One of the guards hastily reached into his pocket and drew out a large key. Snatching it from his paw, Mozart ran outside, throwing caution to the winds and inserted the key into the door lock. Hard as she tried though, the tiny kitten couldn’t get the lock to turn.
Toto lifted his sister ever so gently and set her to the side. Then he grabbed the key and jerked his whole body to one side. Caspian and Midnight joined him, and betwixt the four (Mozart still tried to help) they opened the door.
Then Mozart ran away up onto the wall and waved her white scarf franticly in the air, while the boys pulled the heavy metal doors open. Silently in rushed the army of Reandalawo. Mozart tossed her blue stone down to where three shadowy figures waited, then disappeared.
Reandalawo was in the lair of evil.

Chapter 24
Begins the Final Battle and begins the reunion
Begins the Final Battle and begins the reunion
Frodo and his sisters had disguised themselves by wearing helmets, chainmail and painting their wooden swords silver. Frodo even had a little wooden shield he had brought. It had been tough going though, trying to keep up with the grown creatures, without anyone carrying them. They had nearly turned back at least four times, but Frodo reminded them that they /were/ part of the LFF Catlition, and if they couldn’t go with the other kittens they should be able to fight anyway… After all Frodo had single-pawedly taken on Tigerclaw. So the kits trudged doggedly (or rather kittenedly) onward at the very back of the group.
One cat noticed them. She too wore armor which covered her completely.
“Sneakin’ along too, eh kits?” she whispered.
Frodo jumped.
“You da prisner!” he squeaked.
“Shanti is my name kit. Didn’t you say y’needed to watch me? Well now yew can.”
Shadow wrinkled her nose “You talk like mummy say not tu.”
“Yea? Well you ain’t gotten o’re your kit slang yet neither, so we’re even.” Retorted Shawnti.
Mozart stood atop a small rise in the land. She surveyed the army. About two thousand and fifty three (the fifty three came from FSS) many less than Cogg’s mighty army, which must have been still seven or eight thousand.
Mozart was scared, but she remembered something someone had said to her when she was very small.
‘Without pain
There is no health
Without dark
There is no light.
That is what many say,
But there is no darkness,
Nor pain,
Nor sadness,
Nor evil.
No my little one
But there is light,
There is happiness,
There is Hope
There is good.
So stay strong,
Mozart the Meerkitten.’
“My friends,” she began, “You are the bravest creatures I have ever known.” Her siblings stood beside her now, “I will not tell you we will all live, but the ones who die and have already died, will die fighting for the freedom of all good. We may not win, we may all die, but I have a feeling that somehow we will prevail. And if we do not, dear friends, it is the will of the White Cat. I know you will not leave, you will fight to the death. Do not fight for me, fight for the White Cat! For it is only in him we will prevail. My friends, do not despair, for there is still Light, there is still Happiness, there is still Good, and there is still Hope!” evil could be heard coming up behind them, but no one looked to see their numbers.
Mozart drew her sword from its scabbard and cried, “Now my friends, let us give them a call to fear!”
Holding her sword over her head she turned and cried,
“FOR THE WHITE CAT!!!”
The Reanlawoins charged forward to meet Cogg’s massive army. Mozart’s eyes searched the front lines, but Cogg himself was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly she heard a voice whisper in her ear.
“Look by that glade over there.” And later when she told me she said it must have been the White Cat.
Walking cautiously over to the glade, with her sword in one paw and her dagger in the other, Mozart approached a huge shadow. Her heart jumped into her throat as the largest creature she had ever seen stepped out before her….
Cogg, the wolf king.

Still invisible Jako, Jak and Misty wandered through the vacant dungeons of Cogg. The dungeons were vacant because all the creatures who were once in them had been made slaves… or had died in the horrid prison.
“It smells down here.” whispered Jak, who sounded like a frightened kitten.
“It is the smell of death, I assume.” Replied Jako softly.
“Smells like old cheese and eggs left to rot down ‘ere.”
“So it does, Mist.”
“And mother is supposed to be down here, Jako?”
“Yes Mistyfoot.”
“W-what if they made her into a slave instead, Jako?”
“No, Jak, if she is anywhere in Cogg’s fortress it will be in the dungeons. For Cogg knew I loved her, and that because of Rita a warrior would come to challenge him. Cogg know the ancient prophecies as well as we.”
“You mean the warrior is one of our siblings?!?” squeaked Misty.
“Yes, Mistyfoot.”
Silence reigned over the three then, for they were all thinking of the same cat.
‘So many questions and so few answers, but yet through it all comes old promises, but will they come true?’ wondered Jak.
They went into the deepest dungeons, the ones that had never existed when the fortress was Meandrao, but that Cogg had added. They were dug-out and long ago had the stone steps disappeared. There was no light, but the boys had managed to light a torch to guide them down.
Jako’s heart thudded so hard in his chest he was sure that his son and little brother could hear it.
“I think we’re close, papa.” said Misty, who to Jako suddenly sounded much like a little kit again.
“I wonder why they’d put mother so far down. Must take dreadful long for them to bring her water and food.” came Jak’s voice, which also sounded like a kitten speaking.
Jako said nothing, but let his boys have hope.
Suddenly the stairway opened up into a large cavern. One single cell was there, at the far end of the cave. The bars were stalactites and stalagmites and had no door, but there was a cut-away opening where the three assumed Rita was given provisions.
Inside the cell was a small, gaunt figure. She was thin and sickly looking, with even some of her fur missing, yet hope gleamed in her eyes. None of the three doubted who it was.
Yanking off the blue stone, Mistyfoot ran forward until he collided with the stalag bars, yelling all the while.
“Mama, mama! We found you!”
Jak joined him, and like two eager kittens trying to both eat from the same dish they tried to push their heads into the opening at the same time.
A callused paw reached out to touch their smiling faces.
“My little son Misty, and my baby brother Jak, you’ve grown since that battle.” Rita said softly.
“Tell her to stay back boys.” hissed Jako drawing his sword.
All three of them backed away from the bars and watched Jako run forward, then swing his sword in a mighty arch, slicing the bars in two. The cell bars shattered and Jako dropped his sword, ran forward and grabbed Rita, holding her frail body against himself.
“I knew you’d come back, Jako.” She whispered.
“Well, what are we waiting for? There is a battle being fought, isn’t there?”
“Well yes, Rita, but you-you’re not fit to fight. How would…”
“Don’t think little Misty never told me his dream, Jako, our family will be re-untied during the battle.”
“Alright Rita, but you don’t have a weapon, and can you get up the stairs, it’s a long way…”
Misty went up and brushed his mother and father apart.
“Now daddy, mama is perfectly capable of getting up a couple little stairs, right mama?”
Rita smiled, “Righto Misto.” She said.
“And as for a weapon…” Rita ducked into a little alcove at the back of her former prison. When she came back out she held a bow arrows and a good sized dagger.
Jak gasped, “Rita, those are your old weapons!” he exclaimed.
Rita smiled, “Yes, the White Cat brought them to me not four days ago. Now let us not tarry here any longer. I want to see the sun again.”
Jako, Jak, Misty and Rita climbed the steps together. The two boys, Misty and Jak constantly tried to help Rita, though she didn’t always need it Rita didn’t mind, her family was with her and that was all that mattered.
When the foursome reached the top Rita pushed the other three away and stood, bathed in sunlight. Her coat no longer seemed dull, but now sparkling and beautiful. Her green-brown eyes sparkled as she surveyed the battle field.
“It smells down here.” whispered Jak, who sounded like a frightened kitten.
“It is the smell of death, I assume.” Replied Jako softly.
“Smells like old cheese and eggs left to rot down ‘ere.”
“So it does, Mist.”
“And mother is supposed to be down here, Jako?”
“Yes Mistyfoot.”
“W-what if they made her into a slave instead, Jako?”
“No, Jak, if she is anywhere in Cogg’s fortress it will be in the dungeons. For Cogg knew I loved her, and that because of Rita a warrior would come to challenge him. Cogg know the ancient prophecies as well as we.”
“You mean the warrior is one of our siblings?!?” squeaked Misty.
“Yes, Mistyfoot.”
Silence reigned over the three then, for they were all thinking of the same cat.
‘So many questions and so few answers, but yet through it all comes old promises, but will they come true?’ wondered Jak.
They went into the deepest dungeons, the ones that had never existed when the fortress was Meandrao, but that Cogg had added. They were dug-out and long ago had the stone steps disappeared. There was no light, but the boys had managed to light a torch to guide them down.
Jako’s heart thudded so hard in his chest he was sure that his son and little brother could hear it.
“I think we’re close, papa.” said Misty, who to Jako suddenly sounded much like a little kit again.
“I wonder why they’d put mother so far down. Must take dreadful long for them to bring her water and food.” came Jak’s voice, which also sounded like a kitten speaking.
Jako said nothing, but let his boys have hope.
Suddenly the stairway opened up into a large cavern. One single cell was there, at the far end of the cave. The bars were stalactites and stalagmites and had no door, but there was a cut-away opening where the three assumed Rita was given provisions.
Inside the cell was a small, gaunt figure. She was thin and sickly looking, with even some of her fur missing, yet hope gleamed in her eyes. None of the three doubted who it was.
Yanking off the blue stone, Mistyfoot ran forward until he collided with the stalag bars, yelling all the while.
“Mama, mama! We found you!”
Jak joined him, and like two eager kittens trying to both eat from the same dish they tried to push their heads into the opening at the same time.
A callused paw reached out to touch their smiling faces.
“My little son Misty, and my baby brother Jak, you’ve grown since that battle.” Rita said softly.
“Tell her to stay back boys.” hissed Jako drawing his sword.
All three of them backed away from the bars and watched Jako run forward, then swing his sword in a mighty arch, slicing the bars in two. The cell bars shattered and Jako dropped his sword, ran forward and grabbed Rita, holding her frail body against himself.
“I knew you’d come back, Jako.” She whispered.
“Well, what are we waiting for? There is a battle being fought, isn’t there?”
“Well yes, Rita, but you-you’re not fit to fight. How would…”
“Don’t think little Misty never told me his dream, Jako, our family will be re-untied during the battle.”
“Alright Rita, but you don’t have a weapon, and can you get up the stairs, it’s a long way…”
Misty went up and brushed his mother and father apart.
“Now daddy, mama is perfectly capable of getting up a couple little stairs, right mama?”
Rita smiled, “Righto Misto.” She said.
“And as for a weapon…” Rita ducked into a little alcove at the back of her former prison. When she came back out she held a bow arrows and a good sized dagger.
Jak gasped, “Rita, those are your old weapons!” he exclaimed.
Rita smiled, “Yes, the White Cat brought them to me not four days ago. Now let us not tarry here any longer. I want to see the sun again.”
Jako, Jak, Misty and Rita climbed the steps together. The two boys, Misty and Jak constantly tried to help Rita, though she didn’t always need it Rita didn’t mind, her family was with her and that was all that mattered.

hehe, there is plenty of action.
Dorthy stopped firing arrows and turned to stare at the four cats that had emerged from the dungeon entrance.
“Mozart?” she squeaked, no it couldn’t be Mozart, but who was it then?
The she-cat uttered a shout, then ran forward, Dorthy had the strange urge to follow the cat. She hadn’t noticed Jako, Jak and Misty trailing behind the cat.
Dorthy scanned the area. Catching sight of her brother Toto, she cupped her paws around her mouth and cried out:
“TOTO! LOOK!” Toto turned to stare at her, then looked in the direction she pointed (which was a bit hard to tell because Dorthy was jumping up and down) and stared, not at his friends, but the she-cat.
Toto, being the eldest, remembered nothing of his parents but his mother’s voice. His real mother’s voice.
The she cat uttered another cry and Toto’s suspicions were confirmed. Yet Toto found he would rather keep fighting than face the truth, it was near too great a concept for him to grasp.
Dorthy on the other paw could care less. She ran forward and joined Rita and co. on their run. Then, stopping she and Rita fired arrows at the enemy, side by side, while the boys- joined by a timid Toto- slung stones with them.
Caspian and Mozart though, seemed to have disappeared.
