The One Life War

Chapter 4 - The Jungle King

"Lizzie? Are you here?" Joey called out cautiously. He heard the faint sound of cats meowing. The place gave off an eerie vibe, like that of the kid's section of the library without any noise.

"Ahh... Joey, we've been expecting you." Lizzie was sitting on a throne, her voice matched the eerie environment. In her lap was Midnight. The pink-haired girl stroked the feline as she sat, giving off a very stereotypical evil mastermind vibe.

"Uhh, you summoned me here?" Joey pointed out.

"I've been wanting to thank you for helping me get so many cats." Lizzie continued, ignoring his comment. "As a reward, I would like to ask you to join my side of the war against Scott and his evil chickens."

"Uhh... Lizzie, don't you think you've got a few too many cats?" Joey asked, concerned by Lizzie's unusual behavior.

"THERE ARE NEVER TOO MANY CATS!" Lizzie shouted, throwing a dirt block at his face.

"Ow!" Joey exclaimed in shock.

"I can understand your concern, I really do, after all, Scott went crazy with just a few hundred chickens in his care. Still, I would like you to think about the benefits of joining my side. For one, the other side wouldn't have a spa to constantly heal in, and if you join Scott's side, you know that he is going to require you to let his team into your spa for free. There is no fear of you losing money on our side. My spa is only going to allow my team inside of it, if you join my side, the other team will be forced to pay full price to get into your spa every time they want to heal."

Joey looked at the ground, the girl had a point, and yet this still felt strange to him. "Look, I will give you some time to pick, as I know you will be joining me. You may go now."

Joey slowly backed away, leaving the castle's throne room. "Scott was right, this is getting a bit too crazy..."

"Suddenly, a cat emerged out of a bush and sat down right in front of him.

"Uhhh, hi?" Joey asked.

"Master!" The cat bowed before the confused rainbow-lover.

"Ahh!" Joey leapt at least four blocks backwards in shock. The tabby cat was talking?! This is what I get for skipping breakfast! He thought to himself.

Master Joey! I bring news!" The cat remained in a bowed position.

"Sorry, are you my cat?"

"No sir, Master Joey." The cat responded.

"Then why are you calling me your master?" and how can you talk? he added to himself.

"My king? You found the jungle, remember? That makes you the master of all things from the jungle. Including the cats."

"But Lizzie tamed you." Joey argued.

"Yes."

"They why don't you serve her?"

"Lizzie didn't find the jungle! You did!" The cat explained. "Lizzie may have given us a life of luxury, but you helped her find us. You are the master."

"So... I command you?"

"Indeed, sir."

"I see. What was your important news?"

"Mariel, Shelby, Kyle, and Brittney have joined Scott's side of the war, My King." The cat informed.

"Interesting. Tell me, loyal subject, if one were to wish to lead the server, how would one do it?"

"I imagine by stealing the power from the one who has it, and then using said person as a puppet until they fully take over." The cat told him.

"Exactly what I was thinking. We will be in touch."

"Thank you, sir."

Joey walked back inside. "Lizzie, you're right. I should join your team."

"I knew you would join me. Welcome to the winning side of the war."

"I'm glad to be here."
