《The Written Scraps of the Star Sea》The Cat King vs the Supermurine Defenders

Advertisement

Mouseopolis was a beautiful city. Skyscrapers of marble rose from the ground. Sapphire waves of the sea lapped upon its shores. It was always glowing, glowing all night with electric lighting, glowing all day with its daily festivities. Mice roamed its streets day in and day out, doing around their jobs and hobbies.

It was protected by a team of superheroes. Mice wearing capes and helms with the desire and to protect Mouseopolis from all calamities. They look over the metropolis in their headquarters atop the tallest building, the Super Alpine Tower. Designed by the genius Archimouse almost half a century ago, standing strong and tall since then.

Strong Mouse, Gadget Mouse, and Tree Mouse protect this city with all their heart. They were born and grown here. Though it may be a jungle of concrete and asphalt, it was home all the same. Strong Mouse assists the city using his flight and super strength. He can lift entire trucks and straighten askew buildings with his brawn. With invulnerable skin, the city folk could rally behind his white and blue costume in times of disaster.

Gadget Mouse deals with the disasters raw strength cannot solve. With her bionic arms, she always has the tools she needed to fix any problem. Leaky pipes, electricity-sucking eels, and pet thievery spires: she's got the tools to counter them. In her purple trimmed armor, the city could count on her to find whatever esoteric solution to any disaster.

Tree Mouse helps the city through the power of nature. Tree Mouse had a body made of wood and fur made of leaves. Once upon a time, there was a meteorite that fell near Mouseopolis. This meteorite was actually a seed and from this seed grew Tree Mouse. With his uncanny ability to commune with nature, Tree Mouse uses his powers to help Mouseopolis keep itself clean and beautiful. His powers help the plants grow, keeping the farms from going unproductive. With a swing of his staff, he could grow plants that help clean the air and unclog the sewers. The city of Mouseopolis could depend on the mouse in green robes to advocate for its cleanliness and health.

Together, they make the Supermurine Defenders, advocates of mousekind and protectors of this fair city of Mouseopolis. With their collective oversight, they look over the city and thwart all the villains who desire to defile the integrity and beauty of the city.

Yet, far away from Mouseopolis lies Isle Panthera, the realm of cats. Ruled only by the vicious and unapologetic cats, it is a waste of wanting and despair. Uncivilized and unstable, the mice of this land live in constant fear from cats prowling in the tall dark grass.

There's one cat everyone on the island fears more than anything else: the Cat King. At the time of his birth, the heavenly powers aligned to pour much stellar power down to his mewling baby form. The sign of the Milk Star was marked upon his shoulders to indicate power beyond reckoning. So great was the power he bore that all the cats feared nothing more than the Cat King.

He united the scattered feline tribes on the islands with the force he bore. He summoned upon unwilling subjects hateful meteors which wreaked total devastation to their homes. With the great powers he had, the Cat King reshaped the island as he desired. Now, upon the center of the island lay a grand volcano constantly spewing hot lava. The Cat King's sulfur throne was built upon the rim of the volcano's crater.

With the isle completely conquered and all the island cats bowing to his superiority, the cat king looked towards more ambitious straits.

"I have conquered wholly this island of mine, then I should conquer the rest of the world next," the Cat King pondered.

"After all, as the most powerful this world has conceived, it is only fair for me to conquer the whole world," the Cat King then reasoned.

With his goals fixed, the Cat King looked beyond the ocean. Mouseopolis just happened to be situated just across the sea of Isle Panthera. With its sky-defying lofty buildings and shining edifices, there was nowhere else better than Mouseopolis for the Cat King to begin world domination.

And so, the Cat King rose from the volcanic throne upon which he was seated began his first steps towards the fair mouse city. With each step he took, the ground shook and the rivers of molten rock flowed with greater fervor. Mouse and cat alike scrambled in terror, fearing for their lives, repenting for offenses to the monarch they may or may not have done. The sea receded and boiled as the Cat King approached it. It dared not touch him with a drop lest they incur his wrath.

Meanwhile, across the sea, life in Mouseopolis chugged along, none the wiser of the calamity which approached. The everyday festivities continued as though nothing was wrong. The Supermurine Defenders of Mouseopolis looked over the city atop their tower when it occurred.

Dark clouds rolled over the city as a high magnitude earthquake shook the ground. The normally peaceful Mt. Latnemme smoldered as it suddenly erupted with little warning. From the volcano poured rivers hot milk and molten cheese. A column of black smoke rose to the sky, blotting the sun. Lightning and thunder rolled and rang up upon the clouds. The volcano lobbed burning boulders of rock and cheese upon the fair city.

The Supermurine Defenders were quick to take action to save their fair city. As the civilians panicked upon the streets of Mouseopolis, Strong Mouse flew around to intercept the boulders going for the city. He sometimes rescued civilians in harm's way. Strong Mouse couldn't deflect every single boulder and so many of the buildings sported some form of damage.

Gadget Mouse moved to direct civilians far away from the paths of milky and cheesy lava. With her high-tech gadgets, she managed to control their paths so that they flow far away from congested streets. She directed their path to flow to the sea with minimal damage. Firetrucks roved the streets to put out fires the lava started.

Tree Mouse on the other hand fought the calamity out of the city. With his alien tree powers, he moved many trees out of harm's way. He commanded the shrubs to create barriers to prevent any civilian or animal to wander into the valleys upon which the delectable lava would flow.

As they had begun to think that they had mitigated the worst of the calamity, it was then the Cat King emerged into the scene. Lightning crashed upon the mount's peak and thunder boomed so loud that it shattered many glass windows of the city. The ground shook, taking away the balance of all landbound creatures. Strong Mouse struggled to keep many buildings A pillar of hot molten cheese erupted from the volcano's crater, spewing tons of milk and cheese into the air. Droplets of cheesy lava rained from the sky like rain. The helpless civilians of Mouseopolis ran for cover, but some received some unfortunate burns.

Strong Mouse and Gadget Mouse ran around to shield some unfortunate mice. Tree Mouse weaved the branches of trees to form a roof to protect the wild animals and wandering mice out in the countryside. Even under their combined aegis, they couldn't mitigate every disastrous projectile being thrown upon the city.

Rising from the pool of lava atop the volcano, the Cat King's emergence was heralded with a massive earthquake. Even with Strong Mouse's power, he couldn't stop a large number of buildings from collapsing from the tremors. Gadget Mouse whipped out some anti-gravity gadgets to mitigate the devastation.

The Cat King loomed over Mouseopolis with a malevolent grin. His coal-black fur was untouched by Mt. Latnemme's lava. His glowing electric eyes gazed upon the shattered and burning territory of the city.

"Bow before me, the Cat King, mortals," he roared. His voice rang throughout the entire land. Even cities tens of kilometers from Mouseopolis could hear the Cat King's proclamation. The mice of Mouseopolis watched in fear and terror upon the Cat King's appearance, but the Supermurine Defenders only stood in defiance.

"Defy my will and pe-" his speech was cut off by the Strong Mouse's forceful fist. The Cat King staggered from the strike and fell backwards into the molten pool, splashing dangerous hot lava.

"Who dares?!" The Cat King screamed. He quickly rose back to meet the challenge. He scowled deeply; he was displeased.

"You shall not take Mouseopolis, vile conqueror," Strong Mouse replied. "Not today, never ever."

The Cat King merely smirked at that reply. He was confident, confident for his assured victory. "We'll see about that," the Cat King remarked.

And so, the two of them engaged in a super fight. Their powers clashed as they fought. Light flashed as their strikes met, yet no matter the force of their impacts, it seems like no damage is ever done. The size difference between them makes the fight appear almost comical. The Cat King's a large monster, standing almost ten storeys tall swatting at a superpowered fly a tenth of his size.

Having enough of the mouse's insolence, the Cat King threw a rather hard smack. Strong Mouse hadn't dodged the strike and was thrown a significant distance away. It bought him enough time to cast one of his special moves upon the mouse. Calling upon his unnatural control of the natural elements, he summoned a bolt of lightning to strike Strong Mouse's form. Invulnerable Strong Mouse may be, impermeable he was not. Lightning bore more power than his costume could resist, letting it flow and wreak havoc upon his organs. It surged through his veins and nerves, impeding signals from reaching his limbs but leaving it relatively unharmed. With his body out of his command, Strong Mouse fell from the air, almost sinking into a river of cheese lava were it not for Tree Mouse extending arms made of vines to catch him.

The Cat King turned towards the city far from the base of the mountain. A grin was fixed upon his face as he took steps toward the city. The earth shook with each step he took. The residents of Mouseopolis panicked at the sight of the behemoth cat approaching their fair city. They scrambled for escape, but their legs could only take them so far so fast. Most of them wouldn't be able to leave the concrete jungle before the big feline arrived at their doorsteps.

Gadget Mouse moved to take action. Sending her commands to the various roof-mounted weapons systems that hadn't been toppled by the quakes, she took aim towards the approaching king. The high-tech weapons fired, shooting lasers and plasma projectiles toward the Cat King.

The Cat King moved his limbs to cover his face, but the technological attacks Gadget Mouse had unleashed were stronger than he expected. The plasma bolts struck his form with the force of a bullet and the force of the sun. The lasers pierced through his hairy layers and inflicted damage directly unto his flesh. Wherever they struck, it smoldered and smoke. Gadget Mouse had accomplished something many others had failed to do, deal significant harm to the feline. Fire erupted from his affected fur. Momentary panic befell upon the powerful cat.

Tree Mouse took advantage of the distraction and threw ropes of vines and branches to trip the monarch. The Cat King let out a cry as he tripped and fell into the rivers of molten cheese that surrounded him. Strong Mouse flew like a bullet as he carried a thick vine rope to bind the falling king. The Cat King's body crashed into the cheese, throwing cheesy splashes into the air.

The Cat King snarled, swiping his clawed hands in the air, trying to untangle himself from his bindings, but as his claws flew, Strong Mouse intercepted them, holding his once insurmountable palms in hostage. Gadget Mouse, on her trusty Gadget Car, approached, but kept a respectable distance from the fallen king. Attached to the car's roof was a large laser cannon.

"No. You can't do this," the Cat King hissed. "I'm the Cat King. I am awesome, unbeatable. You will bow to me."

He flexed his powers and the storms responded. The charges storm above released a bolt of bright lightning that, for a fraction of a second, bridged sky and earth. The ground rumbled, and the mount behind them spew a plume of liquid cheese. But instead of the fearful supplication of nature that he expected, the forces of nature seemed to now be standing in opposition to him. Emboldened and galvanized by the forces against him, nature now defied his monstrous will.

Gadget Mouse fired the laser cannon. It shot a continuous beam of magenta light that attempted to vaporize the Cat King's claws, but the claws were made of much more sterner stuff than they have expected. The Cat King screamed and hissed and flailed about, but vines bound him and Strong Mouse held his paws in place. The fur had begun to burn, yet the flesh and claws were yet to smolder.

The Cat King opened his mouth and summoned an orb of burning light. He directed it towards the Gadget Car. It grew in his mouth; he fed it with as much energy. It rivaled the brightness of the sun, but before he could even throw it, vines wrapped around his mouth and closed.

Tree Mouse climbed the enormous body of the cat to see it face to face. A cadre of writhing and twisting vines accompanied him behind. Untold fury and wrath were evident in the Cat King's face. His jaws tried to tear apart the bindings upon his face, but the vines were like steel, strengthened by strange magic. The Cat King glared upon the mouse that now stood upon his chest, hoisted by serpentine vines.

The heat of the battle, Tree Mouse's robes billowed in the wind. His woody body was exposed for the feline to see. His glowing emerald eyes looked down upon the downed cat with disgust. His sharp teeth in full display to show his displeasure in the Cat King.

Tree Mouse moved the Cat King's hand. Strong Mouse was there, holding them with his iron grip. The fur here had burned to ashes and smoke, and flesh exposed were pink and slowly being roasted. The pink laser Gadget Mouse was emitting was slowly dissolving the claws bit by bit.

"Tree Mouse, borne under the Macaroni Star, beseech the powers of nature to declaw this abhorrent beast! Abuser of the power begotten to him from the Milk Star! Let him suffer the fruit of his conquest!" Tree Mouse announced.

The very substance of the world seemed to listen to his words. The wind began to pick up, swirling around the site of skirmish. The clouds above throbbed with rain and lightning, while the seas below shook with anticipation.

As commanded by the great Tree Mouse, a great bolt of lightning descended from the fat clouds. A column of light and electricity it was, glowing a great electric blue. It struck exactly the claws of the Cat King. In combination of Gadget Mouse's laser and the heavenly rod, the king's claws began to crack, and an intense light leaked from the fractures.

Then the claws shattered, releasing the starborn power in a nova of bright blue light. It illuminated half the world and turned night to day. One could only wonder what had occurred far away when they saw the sky light up as if a second sun had risen.

After all the light that had been shored in his bones had been released to the rest of the world, the Cat King had been defeated once and for all.
