«The Overpowered - stories of the past, present and future»

[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]

The Overpowered are in a different dimension and time but with the same psychics and planets as our own Solar System. A bunch of special cats are chosen on a mission - one that can save their world, or completely destroy it.
Rise of Divinity
  Divinity sighed. He knew the other Powers would love to know his story, Undead especially. The half-dead tom was nearby, and Divinity called out to him. "Hey, Undead! You said you wanted to know more about me, didn't you?" he called out to Undead. The tom hurried over to Divinity. "Yess! I've wanted to know you better since you joined Powers!" he meowed and chukled slightly at his own urgency. Divinity purred / growled happily. "Then sit back and listen. It's going to be a while." he instructed. Undead did as Divinity told and rested on his back leg, careful not to sit on the infected and weak bone. "Ahh.. Let me start. From the very beginning..." he began.
  "I was so tiny, my mother Feather used to say. She was so beautiful, and my father - always there to support me when I would fall. Just like all of us, no one knew of my powers, until they realised what I could do. I was only a month old when Feather tried to kill me. She couldn't believe her own son was more powerful than her." Divinity paused for a moment. "You see, she was greedy for power. Rust, my father, had found out my capabilities, that old sfeir-dragon hybrid. And, since he had wings and Feather was very light, I resulted with this! I could summon ghostly wings and be an Ancient at the same time. Feather wanted that, so, because she didn't get them, she tried to destroy me. Rust came just time to save me. He received the kill on himself and Feather killed herself after she realised what she had done. So I was left alone. I met a lot of Sandclouds on my journey, and they attacked without mercy. I was beaten a lot because of how inexperienced I was. I mean, come on! One month old, without any protection and no control of my powers! That was until I met - or rather, saw - Flight flying around. I stood and watched with awe how gracefully she moved. I didn't even try to get up in air, since I had no idea how to summon my wings. I had to turn away from that, so I wandered off." Divinity stopped there. "Why did you go off and not follow her back?" Undead asked, his head tilted and his blinded eye closed in confusion. "Because I knew she was still a lingerer. There was no one with her, what use could've I been? Anyways, I travelled from land to land, getting beaten up more and more by the Sandclouds. Until I found the Powers, I was exposed to the harsh deaths out there. And when I met Nebula with Life and Star, they saw how much I had suffered under the Sandclouds. Now, as an Ancient of Powers, I wish for nothing more but peace." Divinity finished. Undead stared at him. "So you know torture too? The feeling?" he asked at last. Divinity nodded and streched out one of his paws at him, revealing a weird symbol on it. It was the outline of a dragon's wing with the symbol of breeze in the middle. "This is what those nasty Sandclouds gave me. They say it's given to their allies as a sign of alliance. I can't get it off, though." Divinity meowed. He was about to say something more before he was interrupted by Destiny. "If you're done now, please shut up and let us rest!" she growled, her third eye fixed on him. Divinity nodded and laid down, Undead doing the same. Soon the two toms dreamt of the past of evetything, experiencing many things. But they weren't dreamwalkers - how could they dream of the past?

Left in the Panic
  A cold night. No stars or moons in the sky. Yet, an eerie glow casted over the forest. No source--or, rather, it would seem like it. The source was a very colourful aurora, the purplish light standing out a lot.
  On this night, however, with fireflies buzzing past, a blue-silver she-cat was padding through the forest, her head staring at the Northern Lights above. Her eyes were in tears at the sight - a waving light through the cloudless sky without any stars or moons. The she-cat's fur bristled - obviously, something wasn't exactly right. What it was, however, the blue-silver she-cat didn't care to find - she had other things to worry about.
  Taking a turn to the left, the she-cat entered a dark, snowed forest. Here it was much more denser than anywhere else in the mere zone. She padded through it, lost in her own thoughts, not even seeing another cat in the shade, his white pelt shining a little. He padded out and looked at her. "Unity. We were looking for you. Life and Death have fought verbally again, and Nebula can't settle them down. You can't just wander off somewhere, you're needed!" the black spotted tom spoke, clearly annoyed. The she-cat turned her head and stopped. "You don't try to settle. You seek for me, to do it for you. I am sick of this lifestyle. From now on, I am a régi, and don't think I'm coming back so soon." she hissed. "Goodbye, Divinity. Tell Nebula it is who I am now, a régi, and there's no coming back for me now." Unity meowed and narrowed her eyes for a moment before swiftly turning and running away. "Unity!!" was the last she heard of Divinity before the forest came to an abrupt end. Unity didn't halt - she ran on the lake that was slightly lower than the ground. She slid on the ice, her tail drawing a line in the snow.
  Divinity watched as Unity slid away. He turned, his head low. 'I guess it's up to us now.' he thought, his shoulders saggy with sorrow. How will Nebula respond to this...

The Dead Light
This was a painful night for Brazen. The hurt feeling of her mate's death wouldn't leave her alone. He was such a brave one - walking into a battle and just, dying. Despite Pitchnight's black fur and dark green eyes, he was the first to be spotted, all of the Sandclouds forces on him. At least the Powers claimed that part of land and killed all of their enemies. Still, Brazen kept feeling the pain.
A flash of kitting pain snapped her out of her thoughts. She yelped but no one answered. Of course no one would! she growled in her thoughts. For some reason, the wind picked up speed as Brazen yelped again. The sun hid behind the dark clouds that had gathered during the day. Very soon water started to drop from the clouds that looked like they could fall out from the sky at any moment.
At last, the pain was over. The air was now filled with rain, the drops splattering on the ground or leaves. Next to Brazen lied a small kitten. It was as black as night, but it had a weird symbol on it's head that was dark ginger. The kitten was mewling rather quietly, not as loud as one would usually mew at birth. However, Brazen knew something was wrong with it. She started to lick it's fur, cuddle it between her paws. Nothing seemed to work, since it's mews were getting weaker and weaker. And, at one point, they stopped. Moments later the black kitten stopped breathing as well. Brazen's eyes were filled with tears, but she refused to give up. She frantically tried to warm it up for days, relying on any by-passing food to feed her belly.

It has been a week since the death of Brazen's only kit. The she-cat was now much thinner and weaker, her fur ungroomed for more that a week. Only now Brazen accepted the fact her kitten was dead. She tried to rise up on her paws, but she was too exhausted. Her belly was empty, since most prey was too far away for her to catch. She collapsed once more, for what seemed to be the last time. Her paw fell on her kitten, but she didn't notice that. Instead, she murmured, "Death, take me too.", rested her head back and closed her eyes.
Death did take her, but through the paws of her own kitten. Brazen didn't know it - she didn't open her eyes. But the black kitten pushed off it's mother's paw and clawed at it because it was very heavy and hard to push off. The kitten clambered all over Brazen with it's claws unsheathed, resulting in slow dying. But the kitten didn't die too. Instead, it curled up on her body, sucking up all the warmth and giving only cold. It was clear - the kitten was a liver, but it would never be warm.
Many days passed, and in time the black kitten's gender turend out to be male whilst it's name - Death, for it was capable of strong torture and slow death.

And thus, Divinity's killer (but unknown at first) was created, from the death of someone's only kitten..

Two stories in one day!

Starry Awakenings
  There was a squeak, followed by another, and another, until the air was filled with different sounds - all coming from three cats. A huge, muscular black tom with some blue stripes under his amber eyes and a very long tail was looking down on his mate, a gray she-cat with much darker streaks in her fur and slightly darker wings. Next to her belly were two tiny kittens - one was black with green eyes and very long fur but a short tail with some of her father's blue stripes. The other, however, didn't look like any of them. It was another female with dark gray, short fur and a normal tail. However, she had wings that had some cloud-like streaks in different dark gray and dark blue shades. But she also amber eyes with blue whisker-like streaks on her head by her eyes. She had those stripes, along with light rose and greenish streaks. Some of these weird stripes could be found on her body, too. There were some random white spots on her wings. "Look, Star! You have a really weird patterned kitten to bring back to your group. I will take the other--" the she-cat meowed but was cut off by Star. "What? You want to separate them? One for the Powers, the other for Naturalies?" he asked. "Yes. That winged kitten is a stargazer, just like you. It'll suit you well. This one is normal, so I'm taking her." the she-cat meowed. Star narrowed his eyes, but didn't argue. "Fine. But we should name them first." he meowed and looked at the weird-patterned kitten. "This one'll be Nebula. And yours?" he asked and looked at Nebula's sister. "Asher." the she-cat replied and picked up the kitten. "See you later, Star and Nebula." she meowed and ran away. And Star stared after her until dawn before he decided to move.
  Now Nebula looks down on her father as he is chatting with Divinity and Unity. And she cannot help but think - was there even something back when she was a kitten, for something to fill in the hole in her heart. Unknowingly to her, Asher and their mother now follow her in her dreams. They make sure the dreams are nice. And it is Asher who delivers prophecies. Just, why? This is a question Nebula couldn't answer. But one day, one day she might.

I promise there's another story coming soon!

Strongly Divided
It was dark. As black as night. Yet, something clinged on to the ledge, something rustled the bushes. But the darkness didn't leave. It got denser and denser as minutes passed. So dense there was a screech. And then the darkness disappeared.
Instead, there was a cat. One as bright as the Sun itself. Her eyes were a glowing amber, and her smile - warm as the blood that ran inside of her veins. This, this cat here, was Life, and it seems she has awoken Unity from her dreaded nightmare. Unity relaxed, then turned to the other side and saw the disturbing darkness again - just in the shape of Death. Whenever those two were together, it was sure there'd be a verbal battle. And there was.
As the day went on, the arguing cats were getting louder and louder, until Divinity came to quiet them down. His divided look - and personality - only made it worse, however. So bad his own son came along. He was black. Black as night, and dark-spirited as Death himself. Little did anyone know, this day would make a significant change in their lives.
Divinity forced himself to go for Death, pushing him aside to shut him up. Well that was a fatal mistake. His own son attacked the dual-colored cat and pushed him away. "Fury! What are you doing?" he yowled as Fury's claws took out a chunk from his ear. "I'm doing it for Death. For MY Mentor! I don't accept Star as my teacher. I only follow Death!" Fury hissed before swiping again. Divinity kept as low as possible, then, when the blow had passed, lashed out himself which ensured a long battle.
At last, Death joined in to deal a blow, underestimating his power. It caused a serious wound on Divinity's neck and the latter collapsed. It took Death and Fury a while before they realized what had just happened. Life rushed to Divinity's side, but her inspection caused everyone to gasp - he was no longer savable, as Death was capable of landing fatal blows. Fury pushed Life aside as he rushed to the almost dead cat's side. "Father!" he gasped, his eyes filling with tears at the sight of his father bleeding out. "Fury..Stay strong." was all Divinity could meow before passing out, his son crying out, and his killer watching with a dreaded expression.
The next day's events happened fast. Fury was injured heavily and driven off by almost everyone while Death was now being kept close, no one letting their eyes off him. Divinity's body was buried, and Unity set out on a quest to find a location to communicate with him.
