Protection Is Forever

[Meany]

Leading his two fellow Warriors, Snarlgag was padding along the Abyssclan side of the Dewclan border. Earlier on, they had attended the Warrior Ceremony of Switchblade and Tigerfrost. It had been... interesting, seeing his short-term apprentice earning his name. Snarlgag shook himself, thinking of what he had said to Switchblade. Now is not the time to think about that, he told himself, scenting the border. Just a weak scent of cats that smelled like the morning dew.

Viletongue, in one of his rare calm moments, called ahead,
"Anything?"

Snarlgag shook his head.
"Nothing," at that moment he caught a scent. "Wait! Darkclan!" Razorclaw and Viletongue ran up, Razorclaw flexing his insanely sharp claws.

"What, what, what," he hissed. "Darkclan? Have they crossed the border?"

Snarlgag slowly breathed in, his mouth open to take in the scent.
"...No. But whoever it is, they're on the Dewclan side of the border."

Viletongue chuckled.
"Well... That might be interesting."

Razorclaw nodded, smirking.
"We'll have to listen in, won't we?"

Snarlgag smiled in a malicious way.
"I guess we will." He gestured for the two to follow, and, staying on their side of the border, went closer to the sound.

OOC: time for meh Kittypet to get a taste of the forest!
IC:
Cody felt the wind drag on his pelt and he looked in wonder up at the stars.
He was on the Dewclan border. Afterall he had heard plenty about the clan cats,
His friend kept him up to date, little did he know that his friend was a deadly cat from
the highlands, where mud has been coloured with blood. He didn't care about Dewclan,
their scent was regularly weak, and only about fifteen cats were there. He had only ever visited
Dewclan and Abbysclan territory, ounce or twice he had penetrated Tawnyclan territory but they were far to far for him to hunt.
He looked around. On the Abbysclan territory used to be Moonclan, where Snowfeather was.
He liked the she-cat warrior, though he didn't know where they went or that she had died upon the cruel journey with severe green cough. Cody itched his ear with his back leg. He could scent something new, A cat scent he had never smelled before, for he had NEVER been NEAR Darkclan territory.

"Huh?" He mumbled in thought and padding towards it.

[Runfast]

Not too far off, Foxclaw was creeping through Dewclan territory. He thought he'd caught the scent of his brother, Blackpaw, and had followed it as far as near the border of Abyssclan - he wasn't too worried, though. He could easily get to the in-between point of the borders and he would be safe... just as long as he didn't cross into Abyssclan. The scent had faded now - Foxclaw cursed loudly.
"Where are you, Blackpaw?" He sighed and kept scenting, hoping to find some sign of his brother again.

[Loki]

Cody nearly jumped. he now saw the cat approaching, so he turned and fled.

[Longstorm]

Tigerfrost, who had gone out to join the patrol, pricked his ears up at the sound of fast, clumsy feet.
"HEY!" He took chase, running as fast as his paws would take him.

[Loki]

"SHARP HELP ME!" Cody yowled in terror as the chase took off.
He looked up expecting the massive tom to save him instead the leaves rustled above as he ran along.
The massive pale tom jumped down and laughed coldly, Go wait up the blood highland.
Cody nodded, turned and left.
Sharp licked his lips and yawned, "I'll tear every single one of you into shreds!"

Not far off, Switchblade lifted his head. His ears flicked and he turned at a fast pace towards the dewclan border.
He looked shallowly down at his paws, his mentor had apologized to him... yet, look at him now, he was an ember, in the circle, he wished he could yowl it out to his mentor, who he had respected even though he thought low of him.

The stick that was tied around his neck hung tightly but not enough to strangle or not be able to take off, yet in a split second he had unraveled it and held it in his mouth. He had got there before Tigerfrost, but he was expecting a young tom, not a "powerful" of Bloodmudclan! IN an instant he had been flipped up high, though landed perfectly on the grass a fox length away. "A kit?" Sharp hissed, "I'll send you to hell!"
Switch blinked at the strange word but ignored it, "You'll be my opponent!" He hissed and charged forward.
Sharp smiled and leaped over him. "I always thought Abbysclan was a strong clan, I'm embarrassed to be fighting with you."
Switchblade spun around, "You'll regret those words!" But this cat was different from the others, his eyes...
The tom struck, Switchblade sent flying, felt the hard landing of a tree.
He lifted himself up, "Had enough?" Sharp mewed padding close.
Switchblade panted but looked up, "A scratch?"
The tom prepared to strike but Switchblade was ready, He leaped under his belly and raked across.

Sharp felt swinging pain smack into him.

[Longstorm]

Unknown to the others, Searingeyes had raced out, having known of this fight for days. Soundlessly he watched from one of the taller points of the leafless trees, the wind on his side.

Tigerfrost had flattened his ears at the tom and launched himself at him, his new claws gleaming in the moonlight;
"Die," he hissed softly, clawing at the tom's face.

[Loki]

The tom Laughed ducked under Tigerfrosts claws and head butted him hard, He was oblivious to where the littler tom had disappeared to. Switchblade jumped in front of Tigerfrost, "Don't interfere... He's mine!"
The tom licked his lips, "Just as it was getting interesting, three against one seemed a little hard..." He seemed to look up to where Searingeyes was and laughed.
Switchblade yowled angrily.
The tom flicked a paw attempting to catch the small warrior.
"Your five winters too young to be fighting me. I'll toy with you." He snapped catching Switchblade by the tail.
The tom began to flick of the ground hard and into the air and back to the ground repeatedly.
"I'll beat the blood out of you!"
But Switchblade curved his small body as he was flung in the air and bit onto Sharp's head, he carrried on until Blood
washed the ground.
"You little rat!" Sharp yowled, he flipped him onto the powdered ground and used a paw to hold his head down and bite into the neck and swing him away. The tom staggered, blood escaping from his nose and eyes...

OOC can oak come

[Loki]

OOC: not on this round... but he will soon.

[Guest]

OOC darn it can you tell me when

[Loki]

OOC: "When fast light strikes" BTW no more OOC posts no do it in off topic..

[Longstorm]

Searingeyes's golden eyes burned in the dark, easily seeing everything even in the darkness. He stayed where he was, fully relaxed and looking... amused with Sharp.

Tigerfrost hissed slightly, but he pulled back, watching.

[Meany]

Snarlgag, hearing the commotion, looked to Viletongue and Razorclaw hissing,
"Watch the border." He vanished into the shadows, running until he was able to see Switchblade fighting the enemy tom. Having heard his call for the battle to be his, Snarlgag padded around the fight and mewed to Tigerfrost,
"Well, if he has it, I suggest you join my fellow patrolees near the Dewclan border." (OOC: Isn't Tigerfrost nearly full grown and that much larger then Sharp?) Snarlgag watched the fight, mildly interested. He could guess the outcome.

[Longstorm]

Tigerfrost looked back at the fight but nodded curtly, much like his former mentor.
"Yes, Snarlgag. Tell me how the fight ends, hmm?" That being said, he took off into the night, thinking about how he failed in his fighting moves, and of how to improve.

Searingeyes noted Snarlgag's arrival. The tom was a seasoned warrior, and a challenge to any who crossed his path. Cool, calculating - Tigerfrost would learn to be like this, and sooner then most would think. Searingeyes turned his attention back to the fight.

[Loki]

Sharp began to laugh as Switchblade heaved himself up, "You'll NEVER beat a POWERFUL!"
Switchblade's yellow eyes were a blazing yellow, "You'll be surprised what I can do."
Sharp blinked even hesitated, "Damn you!" Switchblade launched forward his claws raked
across Sharp's face. Sharp blinked, "you... How dare you come along and do that!"
Switchblade crouched and repeated the move, the move Joy taught him, one of Bone's moves.

at the last strike, Sharp prepared to bat Switchblade down but this time jumped a fox length away, unsheafed his stick of claws.
"PREPARE YOURSELF!" Sharp yowled as he charged forward.
Switchblade clicked his head back, "I came prepared."
He spun and flung the stick like a throwing dagger.
when he stood still the site... almost made him shake in disgust;
The stick was well lodged into Sharp's throat.
He gasped, blood pouring out his mouth.
His body was shaking as he looked at switch, hatred welling inside him.
"You... I... Can't die..."
The scarlet around him filled and Switchblade padded forward and coolly ripped the stick out.
Sharp screamed, blood spurted everywhere and he collapsed still shaking in trauma on the floor...

[Longstorm]

Searingeyes began to chuckle darkly - he snaked his way down the tree.
"Can't die? Oh, truly now; very few cats can claim that, and looking into your heart, I know you're lying."

[Loki]

"Our Lord will toy and kill with all of you!" He choked his curses being set, "You and that runt, prepare for a good toasting!"
He hissed as fatal blood pooled beneath him, "I won't die in front of you!"
"how boring!" hissed Switchblade, "Lets not make anymore promises about who is playing with who, shall we? I know you won't..."
Switchblade grabbed hold of what was left of the cats throat and shook him, like a rabbit to stubborn to be called prey.
"I'll return the lil' bit of pain you gave from me, straight back!" He crashed the cat's head on a near rock and Sharp had gone to join Those bellow, but they wouldn't give him the welcome he was promised when he joined Falsecall.

[Longstorm]

Searingeyes sighed, watching the light fade from the tom's eyes.
"A mouse tail bets he makes it only as far as the Dark Forest," he looked at Switchblade. Searingeyes spoke low so Snarlgag wouldn't hear. "Those Below are very picky about who they let in, and with good reason." He shook his head. "Falsecall is getting cocky. I would say I don't like it, but I know these events are needed."

[Loki]

Switchblade nodded, his body screaming about how tired he actually was.
"I believe, Falsecall sent him to round up some cats, seen as a cat earlier was calling for him...
perhaps it is coming for the time Falsecall is preparing, Sharp was being used as a spy. However,
He said something about burning?" Switchblade was looking thoughtfully at the dead cat," Do you think
they'r going to do something stupid?"

[Longstorm]

Searingeyes got a peculiar look in his eyes as he mewed,
"Perhaps. Falsecall is fueled by a burning desire for revenge. Any Abyssclannian knows that you turn that raging fire into cold, calculated thinking so that you might outwit your opponent... In the end, he may lose." He shrugged. "It could go either way." Searingeyes looked at Switchblade. "And the burning... It might have been a metaphor, or Falsecall has found a way to control the Enemy of the Forest."

[Loki]

Switchblade thought for a second, "Perhaps... your guess is better then mine, Its nothing to panic about..." Switch looked around, "Well... I thought two cats from our clan were missing, so I went to find them, or see if I could see whats happened, It seemed the scent has gone into Tawnyclan, though the blizzard has shaken the scent path. Should anybody know of this?"

[Longstorm]

Searingeyes shook his head.
"No. Not right away. This coincides with our plans for the bodies. We'll be hunting two birds with one claw. We'll get the Servants back."

[Loki]

"I see." He mewed looking around to the warrior watching them, "Shall I take this trash back to campe?" He mewed looking back to Searing eyes...

[Longstorm]

Searingeyes looked down at the dead body, something akin to resentment in his eyes.
"...Yes. Take him back to camp. Another set of teeth - before you know it, you'll have your own collar."
