Whitesun hurried over to Jadefeather as fast as he could with his injured shoulder, growling lowly at Greaser when he kicked his mate away and standing protectively over her. "Are you okay, Jadefeather?" He asked her worriedly, keeping his eyes on the fighting rogues. Maybe they'll be able to sneak away now that the two groups of rogues were distracting each other. It was obvious they were enemies, why else would another group of rogues be willing to interrupt the fight? "Come on. Let's get Arcticbreeze and get out of here." He murmured quietly, not liking the idea of having to leave Silvercloud's body behind.
Chaos narrowed his eyes at Revy, looking over at Greaser when he confronted Revy, "Guess you have his answer after all." He snarled, tail lashing in irritation.
Nightmare launched herself at Jax's unprotected back, having been waiting just for this moment when his guard was down the most. She sunk her claws into his shoulders and bit down at the back of his neck, using her back claws to pummel his back.
Skyla growled lowly when Farland's hit got her muzzle, snapping her jaws at his paw to try and bite down on it.
Arcticbreeze stumbled up to her paws, the world still spinning for her as she tried to stand up.

Jadefeather slowly pulled to her paws, nuzzling Whitesun once, before desperation to get away before Axel's cats could recognize her made her hobble towards Arcticbreeze. She wheezed quickly. "Yes, yes, let's... let's get out of here. We have to-... we need to go." She coughed, before trying to reach Arcticbreeze. She called quietly out to the Thunderclan Warrior, only to gasp as another dark cat blocked off the way out that Jadefeather had intended to use for her, Whitesun, and Arcticbreeze to escape from.
Standing there was another older member of the gang, her eyes contrasting against her dark fur as she took a breath and released a knowing and somewhat bitter laugh. "Oh no, dear. You're not going anywhere. Not you, or your mate, or... her..." Azalea looked at Arcticbreeze as though seeing a ghost, before her eyes narrowed and she scoffed. "You're lucky we're not killing you now, Jade."
"I'm not-!" Jadefeather bristled violently, before she stumbled a bit, heart racing as she realized that she was too injured to fight Azalea's bulk. She backed up, tensing at Whitesun's side as shame and guilt crossed her face.
Jax gave a loud shout as his back was struck, the painful sensation of Nightmare's claws digging into his pelt. He tried to shake her off, heaving to the side to try and dislodge the small yet ferocious attacker. He knew that they were outnumbered now, and it made him bristle with indignation.
Farland snarled as his paw was bit into, stuck in her grip and forced to lift his other paw to slash at her muzzle in an attempt to get her to let go. He cursed viciously. "Rotten little rat!"

Whitesun stood protectively in front of Jadefeather when Azalea appeared, his fur bristling as he hissed at her. He glanced between his mate and the rogue, his ear flicking in surprise when it appeared that the two of them seemed to know each other. Whitesun was aware of the fact that Jadefeather had once come from the twolegplace city before she found her way to SkyClan, but she had never told him anything about her life from before she joined the Clan. "We want nothing to do with whatever all of this is, let us go!" He growled, motioning for Arcticbreeze to come closer to them.
Arcticbreeze stumbled over to Whitesun and Jadefeather, eyeing Azalea warily as she stood next to the SkyClan deputy and Jadefeather. Most of her dizziness had faded a bit now, but it was still difficult to walk straight. "Who are these cats? What do they want with us?" She hissed, her fur bristling when she heard the rogue say something about not letting them go anywhere.
Nightmare growled as Jax tried to shake her off, digging her front claws in deeper to keep her hold on him. She wasn't going to let this enemy make her look like a fool in her first fight, especially when Revy would be watching her closely for any mistakes. She kicked her back legs again, trying to land a few more blows before she had no other choice but to release her grip, Jax's bucking starting to make it difficult to hold on. She landed nimbly on her paws, snarling at him fiercely before she charged at him again, not wanting to give him a moments rest.
Skyla growled in pain when his claws dug into her muzzle, digging her teeth in deeper, "Look who's talking." She mumbled around his paw, lashing out with her own claws.

"You're already everything that has to do with this." Azalea snapped coldly to the Skyclan deputy, before she gave a dark look at Jadefeather. She scoffed. "I should have expected this, when Grizzley ran off for that Clan cat, that he'd been drawn in the same way you were." She padded a step closer to them, but remained blocking the exit. She looked at Jadefeather and sneered. "Dear one. Do they know? Your beloved Clan?"
"Stop it." Jadefeather rasped quietly, a dangerous yet pleading tone in her voice as her ears fell in panic. She shot Whitesun and Arcticbreeze a frantic look, before she found herself unable to look. She focused on Azalea once again, pleading. "We'll never come back. Ever. If you let us go now, we-"
"That's not up to me, Jade. That's up to him." Azalea nodded once to Revy, who was facing off with Greaser and Chaos. Jadefeather found herself almost shuddering at how at ease the black tom looked, even when facing off with two cats far larger than he was. Jadefeather could see Axel's determination in the tom, as well as Violet's intelligence and cold calculation. She saw no sign of the powerful she-cat, and she had to assume that Violet was likely dead or back in Axel's camp. She swallowed tightly.
Jax shook blood from his fur with a low growl, but quickly stumbled back and away from Nightmare's slashes in an attempt to get closer to group up with Greaser and Chaos. He bristled as he heard Manx's frustrated shout as he tried to fight both Harlow and Shadow, the two littermates using their strength and speed to overwhelm the injured tom.
Farland gave another bellow, before lunging his mouth forward to bite harshly at Skyla's ear in hopes of giving her a real nasty wound, like the one she was giving his paw.

Greaser lashed his tail his anger. Fury pumping in his blood. His claws itched to attack but he knew he was sorely out numbered. He lashed his tail before snarling in response. “Fine. I concede. Let us go and you can have these mangy clan cats.” He decided. He didn’t need his cats dead. Not when they were still gathering strength. Next time however he would be more prepared.

Let us go and you can have these mangy clan cats.” He decided. He didn’t need his cats dead. Not when they were still gathering strength. Next time however he would be more prepared. Revy looked at Greaser for a long moment, as though waiting for the tom to preform some kind of sneak attack. After a moment though, Revy’s posture relaxed into that of a casual grace. He offered a small curled smile, lifting his tail to signal for his cats to stop their fighting. He spoke to Greaser with a silky croon. “A done deal. We’ll even step away from this territory without even a scratch in attempt to take it. I can be fair, yes?” He stepped aside smoothly to allow an exit for Greaser and his followers to leave without harm. Azalea blinked in surprise at how easily Revy just allowed Greaser and his cats to leave. Not even attempting to claim the territory they just fought on was certainly not something Axel would have done… and yet, she was wise enough to realize that Revy’s true prize were the Clan cats. Two of which were clearly Axel’s blood, if the younger she-cat’s identical features were truly linked to Jade’s mother. She inwardly snorted, knowing that any other instance would have Revy bringing Clan cats in to be slaughtered. But with two being Axel’s daughters… She waited for Greaser’s cats to leave, still blocking the Clan cats’ exit.

Whitesun narrowed his eyes when Azalea stepped towards them and stayed where he was standing in front of Jadefeather, his tail lashing as he listened to the two talk. "Stay back." He growled, ready to defend his mate even with his injured shoulder. Whitesun did have to wonder what the older she-cat was talking about what Jadefeather hadn't told them or the Clan, but all he really cared about right now was finding a way out of this situation.
Arcticbreeze glanced between Azalea and Jadefeather, still feeling pretty lost on what they were saying. Did Jadefeather know this other group of rogues that was seemingly helping them out of this situation? If that was so, why was the SkyClan warrior so tense and had a fearful look in her eyes? She also noticed a look of recognition in Azalea's eyes when the rogue had looked at Arcticbreeze and had to wonder what that was about. Arcticbreeze had never been in the Twolegplace before today and had never seen this rogue before in her life.
Skyla hissed in pain when Farland bit at her ear and finally let go of the tom's paw, jumping back and giving her ear a sharp shake. She shrieked in surprise when she suddenly got hit by another cat of Revy's group, tumbling with the black and white form of Blizzard as the young tom bit and scratched at the older she-cat.
Nightmare didn't relent in her attack, pushing the enemy rogue further away from the clan cats.

“You found yourself a cute one.” Azalea scoffed to Jadefeather, almost humored by Whitesun’s attempt to protect Jadefeather. “Leaping in front of you even when he’s been beaten. I knew you had a soft spot, but this? Laughable.” She snickered, hoping to further upset the deserter.
Jadefeather lashed her tail sharply, hissing. “I was never going to come back. I still won’t, no matter what you all want us alive for. Cats like you killed my Clanmate. That’s all you all ever do, ruin lives and smile about it like you’ve done something grand. Cowards, that’s all you all ever were!” She lifted her chin hatefully.
Revy watched with a hint of humored pride as all four of his younger siblings managed to corral and attack Manx, Jax, and Skyla back towards Greaser and Chaos. He called idly to them. “Oh, let them go. You’ve done your job, I’d rather not get too much blood on your fur before we make our way back home.”
Harlow forced herself to stop fighting at Revy’s order, scowling aggressively at Manx as she felt a thrill of victory. Shadow was far gentler, merely standing to his full height and looking carefully at Greaser and his gang. He glanced back to search for Nightmare and Blizzard, hoping that they were not harmed either.

Blizzard jumped away from Skyla at Revy's command, giving her one last swipe to send her running back to Greaser and Chaos. He turned back towards his littermates, his tail lashing as he approached them.
Nightmare hissed at Jax again, stepping back when Revy spoke. She followed after Blizzard and stood next to her littermates, her eyes glinting as she glared at the enemy rogues as if daring them to try anything.

It was clear that they were all littermates, even with Nightmare’s odd coloring. Harlow hissed in response, lifting her chin. “Enough to run circles around all of you.”

Greaser hissed in annoyance at Revy but didn’t respond. He called for his cats to leave and quickly used the opening to dart from the small clearing. He had a sour look on his face. Why must Axel’s spawn ruin this? What did they even what with the clan cats? This wasn’t their territory.

Manx seethed, limping on his legs as he grit his teeth. "I'm telling you, I bet that Jaguar cat double crossed us and gave them the word. I can't stand that wretched tom, he's got eyes like a snake!" He hissed, referring to Revy as he scowled off his wounded pride. At the very least, they had killed a Clan cat, even if he had to take a tumble to do it. "Quit yapping." Jax grumbled as he retreated, hiding his disappointment behind a steely gaze. "They could be allying with the Clans for all we know. Which is far more trouble than some sketchy words from a lone she-cat like Jaguar." He commented sharply.

Chaos shot another glare in Revy's direction before following closely behind Greaser. He stayed quiet as he walked, knowing that saying anything now would only agitate Greaser further.
Skyla lashed her tail and hurried after the others of her group, blinking blood out of her eyes as she walked.
Whitesun's eyes didn't stray from the rogue in front of him even as Greaser led away his group of cats, refusing to let his guard down. The fighting might have stopped for now, but he couldn't be sure that they wanted to kill him, Jadefeather and Arcticbreeze themselves. He winced when he felt a throbbing pain in his shoulder, trying to ignore it as he eyed the other rogues.

He winced when he felt a throbbing pain in his shoulder, trying to ignore it as he eyed the other rogues. "Well! That was fun." Revy seemed to shift from his cold defense to a more smooth and calm demeanor. He glanced now at the Clan cats, eyeing Whitesun, Jadefeather, and Arcticbreeze up and down as he clicked his tongue. "All these moons, and I finally get to meet you." He addressed Jadefeather, who seemed to want to look anywhere but towards him. Revy merely quirked a small smile, looking at Arcticbreeze with a knowing hum. "You're a new one. But, I know just who you are. There's no doubting it, with eyes and a pelt like yours." He swished his tail. "Enough of my chattering. I'm sure you want to hear that out of the goodness of my heart, that I'll let you go and run back to your Clan. As sorry as I am for the utter mess that brute left-" He looked slowly towards Silvercloud, ear flicking as he heard Jadefeather draw in an agonized huff of breath in grief for her Clanmates. "-I am sorry to tell you that this won't be the case. The goodness of my heart has other plans. Plans that involve you being alive, and coming with us." His eyes grew sharp and cold, like ice, as he purred. "If you come willingly, I won't let a single scratch befall you. You'll live, breathe, all the wonderful things. But if you try to run, or try to fight my dear companions here, I will see to it that you are made to be dragged by the necks, with no feeling left in your legs, and your blood on my fur. That's fair of me. Isn't that fair?" He glanced at the cats around him with a hint of humor and a croon. "Sounds more fair than they deserve to me." Farland growled deeply, though he made his way to Revy's side to guard Axel's successor as he usually did.

Arcticbreeze bristled when Revy addressed her, having no clue as to what he was talking about. She opened her mouth to respond, but stopped when Whitesun lashed his tail with an obvious signal to keep quiet. Her ear flicked in light irritation, not liking the fact that she had to take orders from someone who wasn't even her deputy, but relented anyways. Now wasn't the time to argue.
Whitesun turned his gaze to Revy as he spoke, keeping a calm and collected look on his face. They were obviously outnumbered, and there was no way that he could fight with his shoulder injured as it was. Surely there was a way he could talk them out of this? "Let us go and we'll leave this territory, you won't have to worry about us coming back again. We didn't realize that this area was already occupied, and for that I apologize." He said, keeping the pain out of his voice the best he could.
Nightmare eyed the Clan cats as Revy spoke with them, wondering why her half-brother would want to keep them alive and bring them back to Axel.

Hawkpaw looked up at the ThunderClan warriors, starting to grow worried that her parents hadn't returned yet with the others, "They can't be far, can they? Maybe they're heading back right now?" She mewed.

Nightmare eyed the Clan cats as Revy spoke with them, wondering why her half-brother would want to keep them alive and bring them back to Axel. Revy looked at Whitesun with an unblinking gaze, before a chime of laughter escaped his jaws. He laughed for a long moment, as though responding to a joke. Jadefeather pressed close to Whitesun, tense with danger as she stared coldly at Revy. This was no doubt Axel's son, he shared his father's chilling eyes and demanded attention and respect without having to do much. Even so, his laughter shook her core, like ice in her veins. "Ah! Oh, how sweet. You think this is about territory? Dear tom, this isn't even my territory! Weren't you listening? The dashing brute owns this patch. I just happened to be taking a very well-protected stroll. I made my promise. You are alive, so I have no interest in claiming this patch today." His long tail swished slowly, before he tipped his head, eyeing the three Clan cats like fresh prey. "You have something very valuable to us." He looked right at Whitesun, before he looked right at Jadefeather and Arcticbreeze. "And two somethings that will be very vaulable to Axel. The only reason you are alive is because of that. Fret not. If you cooperate, your stay will not be forever. Not even I am that foolish to prod the wasp nest so callously." He flicked his tail to signal for the group to get moving, and for the captured Warriors to be circled and pushed forwards into padding. "Enough of the dallying, and the wagering. Come now, and do start asking more entertaining questions. Don't be such a bore." Revy sighed.

Ravenshade shifted on her paws nervously. “Yeah we should look.” She agreed. “It’s been too long.” She nodded. “Let’s head the direction they went.” They weren’t close enough to the center of the town for the gang. She thought to herself. There’s no way they would have gotten tangled with them…
Greaser stayed silent, seething. After they had made their way closer to their camp. He snarled. “How did they know.” He snapped. “And why do they want the clan cats.” He lashed his tail. “Revy has messed with my plans for the last time.”

Whitesun narrowed his eyes, but decided against arguing and started padding in the direction that the rogues was prodding them in. He leaned heavily on Jadefeather, his injured shoulder practically screaming with pain now that the adrenaline from the fight was starting to wear off. He looked at his mate, wondering just who these rogues were to her if they knew her so well. "How worried should I be about this situation?" He said to her quietly, lowering his voice enough so that only she could hear him.
Arcticbreeze gave a low growl when one of the rogues pushed her, but started walking at their prompting and stuck close to Whitesun and Jadefeather.

"I'm telling you, Greaser, that Jaguar must have snitched! We should hunt her down and kill her next!" Manx seethed as he slunk into camp. He flopped down on an old tire, filled with torn twoleg pelts and trash, made into one of the many odd nests in camp. He looked over at Greaser, eyeing the leader.
"And I'm saying it's likely they've switched tunes. Axel must be working with Clan cats." Jax sighed, shaking his head. He scowled as Manx cackled bitterly.
"Axel despises the Clans as much as we do. No way he'd shift that now. I've got a feeling that Axel's little rat of a son made this little ploy all himself. But..." Manx suddenly looked frustrated. "That's what I'm stumped on. Why would he do that?"
"It's Revy. There's no such thing as being a step ahead of that little fox." Pumpkin yawned, the large she-cat perched a few paces away from the prisoner's den, where Sparrow was practically pressed against the metal frames of the monsters to listen to what they were saying. His eyes grew wide as he heard mention of Clan cats. He scented blood, able to instantly recognize the tangs of Skyclan and Thunderclan coming from the bloody pelts of the incoming cats. Had Echo succeeded that quickly? And if so, where the heck was she? Revy? Who were they talking about?
"What about you, Chaos?" Jax inquired Greaser's right paw, wondering what he was thinking.

Jadefeather seemed to look longingly back at Silvercloud, tears stinging her eyes as she was forced forwards by Azalea's firm swat. She hissed quietly, padding with the patrol as she kept close to Whitesun. So long as they got away, she could take solace knowing that Hawkpaw was safe with the Thunderclan cats. She swallowed, guilt welling up in her as she found herself looking at her mate. She mewed softly. "I'll do everything I can to make sure they don't hurt you. I... There's things I never told you. Things that I wanted to put behind me and never, ever think of again. But I can't hide them anymore, not now, with them." She looked amongst the cats, swallowing. "Whitesun. I can't say why he'd want you or Arcticbreeze, but I know why Axel would want me." She averted her eyes, closing them before she sighed deeply. "This is where I came from, all those moons ago, when I joined Skyclan. Axel would want me, because I am his daughter."

"I doubt Jaguar could have double crossed us, considering that she wanted them all killed besides the young ones." Chaos said, his tail lashing. "Revy wanted them alive, but I doubt its because Axel is working with the Clans. Someone else must have leaked the attack to him."
Kyra batted at a stray leaf playfully before she lifted her head when she heard voices and caught the scent of blood. She jumped to her paws, "Sable! Sable, they're back!" She exclaimed, looking around for the grumpy tom.

"Who else would have known about the meeting with Jaguar?" Manx demanded with a narrowing of his eyes. "You saying we've got a mole here in our camp? I'll take a slash at whoever that is." He hissed angrily, lashing his tail.
Sable grumbled as he rose to his paws, his muzzle wrinkling as he indeed scented blood. He sighed, storming out of the den and motioning for Kyra to come with him. He approached the group of cats, his voice stern and exasperated. "The lot of you look like you've been wrangled by dogs! You're lucky I'm feeling active, with how this weather's been making my legs act up. Ugh." He pulled at one of the many twoleg cloths they collected, dragging it through the small stream that flowed through the side of the junkyard. The water was much cleaner than the puddles that seemed to well up from some of the monsters around them. He pulled the wet rag towards Greaser first.
"Alright." He mumbled around the cloth. "Leader's first. Let me clean you up, you know the drill."

He asked before giving a small shake of his head. He knew that there were things in her past that Jadefeather had avoided talking about, and her parents had been one of them. "Any idea on what we should expect when we get to wherever it is we're going?" He whispered. Nightmare followed Revy and the others quietly, weaving from shadow to shadow as she walked next to her littermates. Blizzard glanced over at his littermates, glad to see that all of them managed to get through the battle with very little injuries. "Looks like our training is starting to pay off." He commented with a flick of his ear. -------- Chaos glanced over at Manx with his usual stoic glare, giving a flick of his tail to quiet the other rouges, "Whatever the case, Greaser and I will handle it once we find out who leaked the information." He said, looking back at Greaser as Sable approached the leader with Kyra on his heels. Kyra bounced after Sable, sticking close to him and watching closely as he started to tend to Greaser's wounds. "What's that?" She asked curiously, looking at the rag Sable had in his mouth. Skyla huffed as she sat down and started to lick at her wounds, doing her best to clear the blood out of her eyes from the cut above her eye.

“The Night Strikers manage almost like a Clan. Axel is a leader, just with no nine lives. Starclan doesn’t exist here, not to any city cat.” Jadefeather whispered, surprised at how easily Whitesun seemed to accept her admission. “My father despises the Clans.

“You had them, Skyla. Farland’s tough, but you’re tougher. Next time, you’ll get him.” Jax calmly assured the she-cat, touching his tail to her shoulder before he sighed deeply.
