Returning to his paws, the young tom leapt back down from the ledge and would have made his way to his mate, had it not been for the mighty explosion which sounded as he landed. The surprise of which made him lose balance and stagger for a second, shock marking his every movement, a snarl ripping from his throat.
Lunging for the exit to the den, he froze at what he saw. The world outside was on fire, and the sky was pitch black. Great streams of lava running down what they had believed to be a mountain. The truth was now apparent that it was anything but.

Mistyleaf let out a yowl of fear at the sight of the blackened sky and ran to her mate looking back and calling for her kits "Emberpaw, Willowpaw, Racconpaw! Come here!" She cried her tone filled with urgency and her face filled with dread as she wrapped her tail around her belly
Adderstrike looked around as he felt the ground shake his eyes moving from his leader to the new warriors and around camp thinking of what to do and waiting for his leaders words

Honcho Dagegen5 Misty brambleflight »мαcαяσηι« It's starting!) Willowpaw's eyes widened in terror as she ran towards her mother, looking to her father for instructions. Raccoonpaw looked calmer, but much more rattled than usual.

Forcing the panic out of his expression, he let out the loudest howl he could muster. "Evacuate camp," he screeched, his voice echoing from every wall, but it seemed to be drowned out by the sounds of the fires burning outside. "To the nursery," he yelled to anyone who would listen. "Stormflight's kits," he hissed, ears flat.
Echoshade and Brokenfrost were quickly on their paws, panick ripping through them a lot more obviously then the leader let on. Desperately they forced their way out of the camp alongside their clanmates.
Stormflight staggered from the nursery, desperately struggling to keep her grip on the three kits in her mouth. All of whom were mewling in terror where they hung.

Smokesong couldn't help but taste something foul in the air; the explosion didn't help that either. The she-cat stood to her paws and took small breaths; it was unmistakable. There was fire, somewhere in their territory. The elder felt her fur ruffle as she stood dazed and confused as to what to do. The pandemonium in the camp had erupted, much like the volcano that she couldn't see and she cursed her failing vision. "Oh Starclan!" she thought desperately, "What am I supposed to do?!" She thought of Stormflight, and burst in a run towards the nursery, hoping in some shape or form help her daughter and grandkits.
--
Emberpaw had never seen the sky so black before. He pressed closely to his siblings as he felt his whole form shake with the earth as a gigantic explosion had sounded and his amber eyes flickered around, desperate for some sort of escape. He looked up at the mountain, swathed in thick black smoke. Bright red was running down the sides and it resembled something close to fire. That with the smell, he had no doubt; it was something very bad and spelled disaster for Mountainclan. The apprentice retreated towards his mother, feeling the most scared he had been since a kit. "W-what are we going to do?" he croaked, his tail low.

"I'll help!" Raccoonpaw mewed instantly, the normally laid back tom's face a mask of seriousness. He bounded over to Stormflight. 'Ill take one!' He offered.

Mistyleaf turned to her kits. "Leave" she meowed "All three of you. Run and dont look back." turning back to her mate she pressed against him looking up at him with fear in her eyes
Adderstrike spotted Smokesong and ran to her side. "The skys on fire." he meowed trying to hide the panic in his voice "ill help you out of camp but we need to move so we can help Stormflight with her kits!"

Lowering his nose, he pushed his kit from the camp firmly, "Go with them," growled Singedstar to his mate through narrowed eyes pushing her in suit of their son. "Get them to the foot of the mountain, its our only chance," he snarled. Panic beginning to show through his dark eyes, he didn't care what happened but he needed his mate and family safe. "Go."
Stormflight staggered to her mother, the terror splitting through her. She didn't know what to do, she needed to help the shecat but could barely carry her own kits. But could leave neither of them behind, and the chaos in camp only seemed to build bigger and bigger. Looking to Racconpaw with a look of desperation she plonked Lionkit down at his paws firmly. "Please be safe."

Willowpaw attempted to keep calm as she made her way out of camp. Everywhere she turned were cats running, and she couldnt see her family anywhere.
Eaglestorm knew that staying any longer would cause more chaos. Instead, he and Snowpool evacuated as quickly as possible.
'I can help too!' Brightstream mewed, the young warrior pausing beside Stormflight.

Adderstike picked up Dustkit and handed him to Brightstream before picking up Mothkit. Once he was sure the third kit was held by Racconpaw he nugged the group forward. "The kits are fine" he meowed through the mouth of fur he was holding "We have them all. Lets go"
Mistyleaf looked at her mate with terror in her eyes she could not lose him "Come with us." She meowed in desperation "I cant go without you." She took a step forward and coughed breathing in the smoke before falling down. She yowled in fear and panic and tried her best to stand up

Smokesong recognized the voice of Adderstrike and her pelt did its best to lie flat. The old elder seemed to be lost for words as she stared. She noticed Raccoonpaw and various others offer to help Stormflight with her kits and the older she-cat steeled herself. "O... okay," she faltered, looking up at Adderstrike. "Let's get out of here quickly!" She gave Stormflight a quick lick to her forehead mewing worriedly, "Be safe, please..." before she moved to stand next to the younger warrior. She looked at him sternly, ready to depart.
Raccoonpaw had left; his mother was telling him to run. The apprentice felt his stomach churn with unease before Emberpaw noticed Willowpaw looking lost in the crowd; he wasted no time and nudged her shoulder, "Come on, Willowpaw, we have to go! Singedstar said to go to the base of the mountain!" He sprinted off, glancing back to ensure that she was following him. He glanced around for Timbershine and others, hoping that they would make it out alright; the tom prayed that everyone would make it out alive.

Stormflight stayed close to her mother, refusing to move from her side until she was entirely certain that the closest cat to her was safe. Pressing close to her mother, her own grip tight on the tiny Mothkit, eyes wide with fear as she lead her mother from camp. Careful to stick to her like a shadow, knowing all too well that her mother wouldn't be able to make her way to the foot of the mountain alone. "Come on, Smokesong," she begged with a level of terror to her tone. Her voice mostly muffled by the fur of her daughter.
Singedstar stood perfectly still, watching as every of his clanmates left the camp and wasn't about to move until he was certain everyone was gone. He looked to the group carrying the kits and said with a loud growl. "Get going, I don't know how long we'll have," he snarled.

Adderstrike nodded at the words of his leader. Meowing to the group "lets go" He grabbed the kit from Stormflight he nuddged Smokesong and meowed "We need to move faster and stay together."

Raccoonpaw nodded as he took Dustkit and began to make his way out of camp, eyes watering from the smoke.
As the cats filed out of camp as fast as they could, Snowpool paused as she saw Singedstar wasn't leaving yet. "Singedstar, we need to go." She urged, the compassionate she-cat refusing to go unless her leader came too.

Growling when Mothkit was taken from her, not wanting to let her littlest kit out of her sight but she knew right now that she had to make sure her mother got down ok. Smokesong wasn't as easily carried, and the young queen wasn't about to leave her mother alone to burn. The group slipped from the camp and into the burning world on the other side of the camp entrance.
Watching the last cats of camp at last leave, Singedstar lunged from the camp and followed his clanmates down the mountainside. The flames and pools of lava quickly beginning to catch up to them. The young tom leapt until he was beside his family and ran alongside them.

Smokesong's fur was beginning to become warm, an odd sensation in the depths of leaf-bare. She knew that it couldn't possibly be from her daughter's warm pelt, but more so from the fire that seemed to grow out of the trees around them. The elder didn't have trouble keeping up with the warriors, but she did stumble from time to time over loose branches and she was beginning to feel exhaustion eat at her core. "I'm doing my best, dear," she chortled lightly, panting with the exertion of getting out of camp. The heat was becoming unbearable, so she rasped out a slight question to anyone who was listeing, "Tell me, how much fire is there around us? I can see the glow, but nothing else." Her words were nervous as she continued to barrel down the mountain with her clanmates.

Emberpaw watched Goldenflower nearly get clipped by a burning tree branch. He looked horrified at first, ultimately thinking that he had just watched the new warrior meet an untimely fate as his heart dropped into the bottom of his stomach. He saw her white tail bounding further down the mountain and he felt a rush of relief that she was okay. This faced him with another issue; he had to get around the burning branches. He yowled to anyone listening, his ears thrumming with adrenaline, "Get off this path; there's too many burning branches!!"

Panting as they struggled down the mountainside, Stormflight struggled to keep up, still exhausted from her kitting days before. And desperately trying to keep an eye on where the fire was in comparison to her visually incapable mother. Not wanting to panic her mother, the slender queen looked back to where the fire was very almost over taking them. "We have time," was all she said. Hearing the panicked words of Emberpaw, she quickly did as she was told, tugging her mother away as best as she could.

Adderstrike looked at the elder knowing she would not make it by herself. He looked over the frail and small she-cat and decided quickly what he must do to get them all out alive. He gave the kit back to Stormflight and went underneath the elder lifting the frail she cat onto his muscular back. "dont worry about that. just rest." He picked up the pace now that the elder was no longer slowing down the group

(Littleflower i was thinking something flaming could fall on to singedstar after he pushes mistyleaf out of the way. That way he saves her. Is that alright?)

Smokesong nodded solemnly, her legs doing their best to move with the others. They had time; that was what mattered. She suddenly felt her body be lifted by another warrior and she let out a small yowl of surprise. "What in Starclan!" she cried, at last noticing she was on Adderstrike's back. She felt her pelt burn a little; Smokesong knew she must have been slowing them down a little. "Well," she huffed, trying to make a joke out of the situation, "I hope you at least manage to get me a mouse, next time." The elder settled down, however, noticing that the group was moving at a much quicker pace.

Grateful that her mother was now at the very least safe, Stormflight grabbed her daughter by the scruff of the neck and lifted upwards quickly. Swift to catch up to the rest of the clan, but no matter how far they went it only seemed that the fires got closer and closer. She skidded and struggled to keep up.
Singedstar stayed to the back of the clan, trying to make sure everyone got ahead and stayed safe. The breath beginning to be stolen from his lungs as the smoke choked it free of him. He looked left and right, trying to keep everyone in his line of sight.

Before she could look up, Singedstar was beside her nosing her to hurry on. Panting as he spoke, "You need to hurry Mistyleaf, I know it's hard," he stammered. Pushing her relentlessly, the desperation clear to his tone.
