The Rise of Scourge/Part 2

==Chapter description==
:Walking deeper into Twolegplace, Tiny is shocked by what he sees, remembering that his mother had briefly spoken about the place. Hunger hits him as he walks through alleyways, but he is scared off when he tries to grab some Twoleg scraps. A voice calls out to him as he walks off, and he spots an old she-cat. She offers him some of her food and they talk briefly. She mentions the word kittypet and tells the young tom that his collar marks him as one. Tiny, keeping her explanation in mind, tries to remove his collar but fails, making the surrounding cats laugh at him. Angered, Tiny stalks off before almost running into a dog. He freezes at the sight but notices that the dog is quite old. As the dog is called away by a Twoleg, he leaves behind a tooth. Tiny attempts to use the tooth to break his collar, but in his attempt, gets it stuck.
:A nightmare of the tabby that attacked him wakes Tiny up. He continues his wandering through Twolegplace and happens upon a group of rogues eating. The tom approaches them and asks if they would share their food with him. One of the cats steps forward and asks about the tooth in his collar. Tiny lies and says he killed a dog, of which the cats believe and allow him a share of their food. In the following hours, as he rests in a tire, Tiny is approached by two cats that introduce themselves as Bone and Brick. Brick asks if he is the one that fights dogs, and that if he is, to follow them. Tiny goes along and the two rogues explain that a dog had made its den near where cats get their food. Brick asks Tiny if he would fight the dog for them, and Bone wonders if the small tom is lying. The pair of cats give Tiny until moonhigh to decide, and that if he decides to not to fight to leave Twolegplace in his best interests.
:Full of anxiety, Tiny agrees to help them after seeing the struggles that cats of Twolegplace go through. The tom goes and sees the dog before the impending fight and is shocked to see the size of it. He goes through with his plan despite the risk of death. As Tiny approaches the dog, he hears whispers from surrounding cats about his mission but doesn't back down. As he gets closer, the dog spots him but starts growling and soon takes off. Tiny realizes that dog was scared of his shadow. Unable to snag a tooth, the tom manages to catch some of the dog's fur between his claws as it runs away. The cats of Twolegplace are initially shocked but congratulate and thank Tiny for his bravery. 
:One cat asks him his name and Tiny comes to realize no one had asked his name before. At that moment he decides he is no longer Tiny, and recalls what his mother had called the forest cats. He announces his name, full of confidence, as Scourge to the Twolegplace cats.
