The Meowfia

"They're always watching, from the dark. Hidden in your back alleys, wandering around the streets, or maybe sleeping comfortably in your house. The members of the Meowfia are a terrifying bunch and are always plotting when you least suspect it."

— Terrified Cat Conspiracy Theorist

The Meowfia is a terrifying organization filled with the most terrifying cats on this side of Xaria.

Origin

No one truly knows when the Meowfia started, only that it started due to the aftermath of a major attack on cat-kind. Cloud, the fearless leader of the street cats lead her furrends into battle against a group of hooligan Aberrationists... and it resulted in a tragedy. A tragedy known as the Unfurtunate CATastrophe.

The Unfurtunate CATastrophe

It was the evening of just another normal day. Birds were singing, kids were playing, and a group of hooligans were hanging out in their apartment ten stories above the ground. A lone grey cat, by the name of Cloud McCloudyFace climbed up the wall of the apartment building and saw the group standing around their apartment talking. So, being immune to the deadly condition for cats, curiosity--she broke through their window.
Once she broke into their window, she was met with quick disappointment and distaste by the people in the room. She tried snuggling up with the people, but they weren't having it. But no, she's the fearless cat-leader, Cloud! Why wouldn't the humans pet her? She's a meowther f'ing cat for meowing out loud. She's just so too cute for them to resist! She kept trying to rub up onto them which caused them to decide to kick her out. After they yelled at her over and over, she left the apartment planning on returning with furrends.
Cloud [Cat Form] went out to gather her furrends and returned with a total of 300 other cats, not including herself. They all began to climb up the side of the building--which was major cause for alarm for the hooligans. They took it as a threat, and began to attack the incoming cats.
One of the hooligans, a large dragon-man, began to shoot deadly crystals towards the cats. Multiple of the crystals hit their mark and knocked a few of the cats off the wall and caused them to fall to their death. This battle continued for awhile, until the other hooligans began to get involved. One of the hooligans had a mass-altering aberration, and began to change the cats weight. More and more cats began to fall of the walls. None of this affected Cloud as she had the ability to nullify other's abilities. Though, she wasn't strong enough to create a large enough nullification field at the same time as she was climbing up the wall. Sadly, the other cats didn't have abilities or had abilities that were useful in this conflict.
Eventually, the hooligans won out. Three-hundred cats were splattered around the sidewalk, now covered in blood, by the time Cloud had made it up to the window. Cloud looked down in horror and disgust, and ran off into the unknown--to find her closest human friend, the Sprite of Perception.

The Funeral of the Cats

Cloud and the Sprite of Perception were able to slowly drag the cats to a remote lake in the middle of a forest on the outskirt of the city this happened in. After a lot of screaming, crying, and building a wooden boat, the two of them were ready to host a viking styled funeral for their lost furrends.

Eulogy of Mewsery

Cloud and the Sprite of Perception loaded the corpses of the dead cats into a boat of wood, on the lakeside. They then pushed the boat out towards the middle of the lake.
"For my brethren rest in peace. Shall they not be forgotten. All three-hundred of them, who didn't make it out there."
Cloud's voice rang out, and the sound of hundreds of cats from the far distance cried out.
A sad tune played from nowhere. It had to have been the work of the Music Core.
"Your deaths shall not be in vain my furrends. Shall you all rest peacefully in the spirit world. I'm sorry I failed all of you. As your leader, I was supposed to protect all of you! But I waited too long and it got all of you killed. I wasn't able to nullify all of their attacks at once while I was climbing the building, but I should have been able to! I'm sorry, so so sorry. You all were great and you did so many good things. You were always there for each-other and were so kind, funny, so perfect. You all believed in me, and I believed in all of you. I know what I need to do for all of you. I'll repay those trusts and beliefs. I will take to creating a mafia, the cat mafia. No-the Meowfia. I'll finally do what I was meant to do. I'll stand up to those monsters, the dangerous fools of this world, and do what I need to do to stop them. You were all there for me, so I'll pay you guys back in vengeance! Believe in it! Believe in me! I won't rest until its done and until I'm in the spirit world leading all of you!"
"Rest in peace, dear furrends, rest in peace."
Cloud takes a tiny cat-sized bow in her paws, and stands on her hind legs. The Sprite of Perception takes a bow in her hands as well. They both loaded flaming arrows into their bows.
Tears streamed from both of their eyes. They took aim towards the boat, and shot the flaming arrows. The boat burst into flames, burning to nothing on its trip to the afterlife.
Cloud and the Sprite of Perception both collapsed to the ground, crying. Cloud curled up into the Sprite's arms and they both fell asleep.
