Redtuft shuffled into the camp behind Ravenstar, his russet fur bristling with a combination of anger and nerves. It had not been long ago that he had saved Brambleflower's life, and chosen to lie for her and Kitepaw so they could escape; now Ravenstar had him here, of all places, and now he was sincerely doubting his decision to interfere.

Seeing the commotion beginning to unfold, Cloudsplash ushered her kits further into the nursery. "Come on, little ones, stay away from the entrance," she whispered, gently pushing them into her nest. Once she was sure they were safe and not going anywhere, she stood and darted out of the nursery. "Silverpaw!" She snatched up the newly named apprentice by the scruff and, with some strain, carried her to the nursery. "Stay in here until it's over," she mewed, her voice stern.

Waspwing winced as Ravenstar collided with Jayleap and rolled, and she halted her charge to dart around the large black tom instead of facing him head on. For some strange reason, she could hear her old mentor's voice in her head - not her Clan mentor, but the one she had had before. Nettle. And Nettle was telling her to go for Ravenstar's tail. Waspwing lunged and aimed to sink her teeth into the CedarClan leader's tail, as close to the base as she could.

Jayleap clung to Ravenstar's back, ignoring Viperstrike's yowl of "Jayleap!"
He thought he was winning, digging his claws into Ravenstar's back and drawing blood β right up until Ravenstar flung him to the ground.

Redtuft winced as Reedclaw simply bowled the tiny apprentice over as she approached him, and he almost felt bad for her - she was clearly a brand new apprentice, younger even than Kitepaw had been when he had still lived with the Clan. Reedclaw's amber eyes showed no emotion as he shouldered the apprentice aside.

{Silver..he's...he's a murder...}
He yowled when Waspwing went down on his tail and he called for help, obviously needing it now as he tried to move his body to swipe his at Waspwing. He wouldn't be taken down by these warriors, not while Fogstar still sat perched up there on the ledge. He kept one paw on Jayleap as he did so, hoping it was enough to keep the warrior beneath him.

"Reedclaw!" Tigerstripe screeched, his voice venomous with rage. His vision tunneled, and all he could see was the ginger tabby tom and that horrible, smug expression on his face. Anger fueled him, moving his legs faster than he had ever thought possible, and before he even knew what was happening he'd knocked Reedclaw off his paws. Yowling and snarling, the pair vanished into the throng of cats.

Jayleap scrambled to his feet, panting, and slashed at Ravenstar's side as he turned towards Waspwing, whose jaws were clamped around Ravenstar's tail.
Which, okay, that was one way to do it.

Waspwing hissed as Ravenstar's claws snagged at her cheek, and she winced when she felt the skin rip beneath her fur. But she didn't relent, and her grip remained tight as she heaved, paws scrabbling as she fought to pull the CedarClan leader off balance enough for Jayleap to get up. However, the black warrior was certainly as heavy as he looked, and Waspwing's efforts were mostly in vain.

(Silver, you should really wait for someone to reply to your post before posting again. It'll make the rp run a lot smoother that way. If no one replies after like an hour or so, you can post again, but with double/triple posting, it creates a lot of conflict of interest.)
With a low growl, Ashpelt immediately jumped into the fray, grappling the first Cedarclan cat he saw. He slashed at the brown tom he had toppled, then snapped at his leg. The other cat hissed with pain and tried to kick Ashpelt off. "Dappleleaf, the nurs--!" "I'm on it!" his sister yowled, barreling across camp before his sentence was even finished. Tail lashing, he pounced into battle once more.

Nettle, upon hearing Ravenstar's cry, immediately turned her attention to her leader. She had been recruited by Ravenstar alongside her companions for this mission and this mission alone, and she was determined to prove herself worthy of Ravenstar's trust. Her eyes honed in on the tabby she-cat with her teeth sunk deep into Ravenstar's tail, the black stripes of her pelt standing out boldly against bright gold; Nettle could've sworn she'd seen her somewhere before. However, there was no time for that now. With a snarl, Nettle threw herself at the she-cat and bowled her over, forcing her jaws free of Ravenstar's tail.

With Jayleap out of his grasp he tried to turn around to face them. "You idiots, do you even know what you're fighting for?" He asked, swiping at the both of them. His fur was fluffed up now but obviously he looks barely any bigger.

Waspwing screeched in agony as needle-sharp claws dug into her pelt, and she whirled on her attacker with fury blazing in her yellow eyes. She found herself face to face with a skinny grey she-cat, the white fur around her mouth coated with blood from where she'd bit down on Waspwing's shoulder, and her claws outstretched. Waspwing might've attacked as soon as she turned around, if not for the fact that she knew her attacker. No, she'd been trained by her attacker. "Nettle?"

"You're still fighting for Fogstar?" Reedclaw taunted, his amber eyes glinting maliciously as he and Tigerstripe circled one another, their gazes locked. Tigerstripe growled, baring his teeth. "I'm fighting for honour and for my Clan, what are you fighting for, Reedclaw? A murderous piece of foxdung with no care for anybody but himself, and your own selfish desire." He did not wait for the ginger tom to respond, instead launching himself at him with a fearsome caterwaul. The satisfying crunch of bone beneath his teeth as he bit down on Reedclaw's foreleg was practically music to his ears at this point, and he took joy in the way Brambleflower's former mate tore himself away with a screech of pain.

Rabbit nervously looked around, his amber eyes wide as he took in the sight of the battle around him. When he had agreed to join Ravenstar with Nettle and Hound, he had not expected this to be what the CedarClan leader would ask of them; these cats were innocent, he couldn't force himself to hurt them! But judgmental gazes from somewhere behind him shocked him into submission; he didn't need to turn around to know that he was being watched by his new 'Clanmates'. I'm so sorry! he cried inwardly as he sprang forwards, leaping onto the first cat he saw.
(it can be anybody he attacked!)

Littlepoppy stood outside of the nursery with Dappleleaf, his lips curled back in a snarl. He wasnβt good at fighting, not by a long shot, but heβd rather he be killed than any of the innocent kits in the nursery. His claws were unsheathes and he struck out at anyone that got too close.
Shadefang scrambled to her paws as Ravenstar and his cats came to attack, and her fur bristled. βFox-dung,β she breathed, glancing over at Fawnstep next to her. She wouldnβt let FogClan get destroyed, and especially not any of the cats she loved. She let out a hiss and shot forward into the fray, claws piercing into whoever was nearest.

"Kits, get to the back of the nursery this instant!" Brambleflower ordered, ushering the little ones further into the den, "You hide under the nests and don't move a muscle unless Littlepoppy, Cloudsplash or I tell you to, okay?" Without waiting for a response from them, she whirled around and pushed her way to Dappleleaf's side, forming a wall with her and Littlepoppy to protect Cloudsplash and the kits. She searched for Reedclaw among the fighting cats, but when she did not immediately see him she began to panic - what if he was hiding, waiting for his chance? Then she saw him, through the battling crowd, locked in fierce combat with Tigerstripe, and her heart clenched.

Rabbit screeched as claws made contact with his pelt, and he swung his head upwards to see an absolutely massive cat stood over him. Every hair on his pelt shot up in fear, but with his new Clanmates' eyes on him he couldn't bring himself to back down - he was far more scared of them, and of what they could do. With as fearsome a cry as he could muster, he tore himself away from the large she-cat's claws and spun around, back arched and fur bristling, before leaping at her again.

Jayleap staggered to the side with a grunt of pain, shaking his head from side to side to clear it. Ravenstar's blow had landed hard β there were stars in his vision β but he was still on his feet.

Ravenstar flexed his claws and made another swing, this time bringing himself down with Jayleap. He wasn't thinking, he just wanted the tom down When they were both on the ground he scrambled to his paws, trying to pin him while he was in a daze. He had no plans to kill him, not yet, he just wanted to make sure he wouldn't be an issue coming forward.

Noticing her brother fighting off a large brown tom, Dappleleaf stood up and shot off in his direction. She was halfway there when she found herself being tackled to the ground by a familiar black form. She hissed and dug her claws in as soon as they made contact with skin. With a snarl, she rolled onto her back and kicked the form of Fuzzytail off of her, then scrambled to her paws. The two engaged in a hissing match, ears flat as their eyes connected. βYou filthy fox-heart!β the she-cat spat before launching herself at the slender tom, knocking him onto his back.
Fuzzytail dug his claws into the tortoiseshellβs shoulders and flipped onto his side, dragging her with him. He reached out his hind legs and scratched at her belly with his back claws, grinning at the pained wail she let out. He hopped to his paws and pounced on top of her. βYou always were weak,β the tom sneered, swiping his claws across her throat. Seeing the panic in her eyes as she rasped for air, Fuzzytail stepped off her and turned his back to Dappleleaf. βThose weak kits are next.β
Oh, I think not! Dappleleaf coughed up a few drops of blood, then heaved herself to her paws. She dragged herself towards her former mate, who was too busy looking for Gingerstripe and Hollycloud to notice her. Eyes blazing with rage, she lashed out a paw and buried her claws deep into the black tomβs hip, dragging him towards her. Blood was still pouring from her wound as she snapped at Fuzzytailβs throat. She had caught him off guard enough to where the tom couldnβt react in time to protect his vitals. Dappleleafβs eyes were shut tight with strain as she put all the force she could into her bite, and she refused to let go until Fuzzytail went limp. With a deep breath, she flopped over next to him. Iβm next.
βDappleleaf!β Hollycloudβs voice rang in Dappleleafβs ears and when she looked up, the black she-cat was standing above her with her brother. When she looked past them, she could see her own brother, Ashpelt, grappling with a Cedarclan warrior.
βHang on,β Gingerstripe mewed frantically, pressing his paw to his motherβs wound. He was clearly trying to remain calm, but the sight in front of him was too much for any warrior to handle; his mother was dying.
Dappleleaf gazed fondly at her kits, a small smile gracing her face. βIβm so proud of you two,β she breathed.
Hollycloud shook her head, eyes wide as she looked around desperately for a medicine cat. βDonβt talk, Owltuft will help you.β
The younger warriorβs words seemed to fall on deaf ears as Dappleleaf continued. βYou and Tigerstripe are going to have such beautiful kits one day. If theyβre half the cats you two are, theyβll be brilliant.β With that, her eyes fluttered closed and her breathing slowed. βI love you so much, Hollycloud, Gingerstripe.β
When Dappleleaf opened her eyes again, she was in a clearing surrounded by dense forest, sunshine warming her pelt. Her wounds were completely gone and, instead of being surrounded by fighting cats, she was face-to-face with a familiar large, white form. Despite the stars in his pelt, she recognized him instantly and smiled. βSnowclaw, itβs good to see you,β she purred, then followed the tom into the underbrush.

Shadefang hissed as the small tom tore out of her grasp, and she barred her teeth at him. When he dodged at her, she made a move to slam into his side and knock him down, but she soon realized how quick this cat could be.

Jayleap screeched as Ravenstar pinned him down, struggling under the other tom's weight. "You filthy fox-hearted dung-faced bastard β" he wheezed, throwing every curse he knew and a few he made up into the face of CedarClan's murderous leader.

"Are you going to shut up? If you'd just keep quiet and stand by I'll let you up." He pressed a bit harder, hoping the tom would. He kept his claws out, lightly scraping the tom's pelt now. He was giving a warning.
