Re: Battle of Darkclan

[Runfast]

Redstar drew back, his face dripping blood.
"Luck of the draw," he mewed cheekily and lashed his claws out - but more cats barreled into him, knocking him down. He groaned, his head spinning, his vision darkening for a moment - or was that just the sun setting?

Blizzardgaze now snarled at the cats who didn't dare get too close when she was looking. When one tried to claw at her back, she spun around and lashed out, making the cat jump back screaming.
Suddenly, all of the cats jumped as one, taking her down.

OOC: We've almost done it!

Longflight was still fighting, one of the cats knocking him over, the two locked in combat.

[Longstorm]

Jade cackled (OOC: lol) and stalked forward, her small claws gleaming with blood.
"Two cats in one day..." She sighed. "Where's your Starclan now?"

"Not with you," whispered a horrible, gurgling voice.

Jade spun around just in time to see Thornstar bring his claws down on her face. Jade screamed, her eyes ruined and her nose half gone. She was crying, sobbing, blubbering, if you will, screaming profanities and promising vengeance.

"Unlikely," was all the leader spat, even as Jade followed the sound of his voice and bit his throat.
Thornstar barely seemed to notice as he used his claws to open her neck, blood spilling out at a rapid rate.

The she-cat let go of him, her mouth opened in shock. Her beautiful face was ruined, her pelt torn and bloodied - Perhaps death is best, she thought.
Jade staggered back and sat down, trying to breath but only coughing up blood. Slowly, she lay down, rasping and squeaking as she did so. It was a long minute, but she finally stopped, her mouth closing and her twitching stilling.

Thornstar looked down at the dead she-cat, the madness still obvious in his eyes.
"Silverfur," he addressed the absent Healer. "Traitor..." He fell dead.
Thornstar was dead.

Silverpaw stopped short.
"It's... Father?" Silverpaw mewed softly, seeing the fallen form of the former leader atop the dead she-cat.
In her hesitation, she didn't see the tom coming up behind her.

Sunmist and Gorseclaw hadn't even seen Thornstar get back up, nor had they seen him kill Jade. But they saw him fall for a second time and now they fought even harder.

[Runfast]

Forgotten like Thornstar had been, Foxclaw, thought to be dead, stood, wincing at his broken shoulder, his front right leg dragging (OOC: here's looking at you, Loveless!). He saw the tom aproaching Silverpaw, didn't think, and ran as fast as his legs would carry him. He just managed to grab onto the tom, biting him, but the tom turned around and bit his throat.
It was the end, for sure.

With the invading cats distracted, Redstar managed to get back up and help Blizzardgaze. When she was free, the two of them helped Longflight (who had managed to get up himself), and the three joined Goldpaw, who'd spun around to defend his sister from the enemy tom.

Redstar noticed that the attacking cats... Well, they weren't really attacking anymore.
The red tom with that split lip looked around at all of the attacking cats, how scrawny and sick they all seemed to be, noting the damage that the warriors, his warriors, had inflicted on them.
He noted the dead, how many invaders were dead and how few warriors had died.

Redstar snaked up to the top of the Gray Rock and yowled,
"Invaders! You came into our territory! You threatened our family! You killed our warriors! For this, the punishment should be death!"
The invaders shivered, some began to cry. They were no more than kittypets gone rogue, Redstar realized.
"But: I will spare you. On one condition." The crowd looked up, the Clan warriors in the crowd looking over the crowd with a watchful eye.
"You never return here. You never defile our borders with your stench ever again. And when you go back to wherever you came from, you tell whoever sent you: Darkclan is defended."

[Meany]

Lighningpelt and Smokepelt, who had helped their 'in peril' Clanmates, now stood guard, watching the intruders, glaring.
Smokepelt looked around - where was Flowerpaw? Had she fallen?

Lightningpelt occasionally glanced around, thinking the same thing. Where was Hollowpaw? Had she been in the fight as well?

Robinsong had seen her father fall for the final time. She had seen the first five cats leave. And now the battle was over, and Redfall wouldn't punish them?
Robinsong spat. This was injustice! The she-cat shook her head and, with one last glare around her forever-home, left.

Cloudfeet watched the group of invaders. Wow... Redstar was doing great.

[Guest]

Rainfoot, with his twisted and bloodied legs, was laying down at the base of the Gray Rock, nearly unconscious.
Sleetcoat stood with him, glaring at the intruders.

Jaycall looked around and spotted his sister leaving. He glanced up at Redstar and followed her quickly and quietly.

Frostshine was walking around the camp. Where was Skyecho? Where was his sister?
The black tom sniffed around, searching for the lovely she-cat- There. She. Was.
Bloody. Torn. Ruined.... Dead.
Frostshine could feel the walls of his world falling on top of him. Dead. She was dead!
The usually silent tom let out a long, anguished wail, sending shivers up the spines of the intruders.

[NKninja]

hollowpaw, was shocked... the clan was falling to pieces, thornstar was dead...it was madness.
she glanced at robinsong, who was only a few tail lengths away. she could see the envy in her eyes.
soon, hollowpaw felt claws ripping across her back. she yowled with pain, then bit the enemy's neck, the acrid taste of blood filled her mouth, and threw him to the ground. the body still for a moment, then flinched and ran out of the camp, tail between his legs.

she saw lightningpelt and dashed to her side, slightly limping, but still held her ground. " are you okay?" she mewed curiously.
OOC: i had no idea what else to say

[Longstorm]

OOC: It's cool - the battle's over, btw.

IC: Sunmist and Gorseclaw, on some impulse, yowled,
"Darkclan is defended!"

OOC: Well done, Runny. You'll make a good leader.

IC: Silverpaw saw Hollowpaw and mewed,
"Hi... I'm Silverpaw... I'm kinda new to being an apprentice..."

OOC: Silverpaw and her siblings were taken from the camp when they weren't even a moon old. They're Rebellion cats - but then, the Rebellion seems to be over...

[NKninja]

OOC: YAY!!! ITS OVER!!!!but poor thornstar... and from this, im guessing hollowpaw has another friend

IC: hollowpaw looked at silverpaw " hey, im hollowpaw, nice to meet you" she said excitedly.

OOC: i suck at small talk

[Guest]

OOC: Hey, what about me?
IC: Flowerpaw panted. The battle was over; blood stained her coat, and she stared around at all the dead cats.
Rook landed next to her, using his small tongue to lick Flowerpaw's coat. "Over... safe... now..." Rook squawked. He was getting better at speaking the cat language.
"We'll always be friends, right? You'll come back and protect me?" Flowerpaw asked.
ROok looked down at his talons. He'd formed a friendship with this cat, but... could he keep it, with his job of being a spy? Could he visit her? They were both young, and friends made young tended to last a long time.
"Yes." Rook said, but he looked away. "You... friends, cats..." he indicated Hollowpaw. In his own language he said to himself, "But how about ME? Do I have a friend? Am I just a bird, meant to be alone forever?
It does not have to be this way. The voice, so familiar, yet haunting....
"Darksky?" Rook whispered, hearing the voice of his long-lost brother.
You do have friends. You have Flowerpaw. You have Pantherleap. You are a lucky bird to have such good, loyal friends.
"I guess I am..." Rook murmured. He took flight, spiraling up on the warm air drafts.
Back on the ground, Flowerpaw was surprised to see a drop of wetness splash on the ground, the same size as a bird's grief-stricken tear.

[Longstorm]

OOC: Nice, GH!

IC: Silverpaw nodded with a smile then turned her attention back to Redstar.

Sunmist looked over to Frostshine, her heart breaking when she saw the still form of Skyecho. Sunmist leaned into her brother, who put his head atop hers for comfort.

[Runfast]

Redstar took a deep breath then mewed,
"My warriors will escort you to our border. From there on... It's your choice."

The cats looked around, some crying over the dead, others trying not to look in pain.

Longflight slowly stood and mewed gruffly,
"Let's move it..."

"Longflight," Blizzardgaze suddenly yowled. "It's Foxclaw!"

Longflight whipped around and ran as fast as his tired legs would take him.

The two stood over the orange warrior.
"Foxclaw," Blizzardgaze mewed softly.

The warrior looked up at her, his vision clearing for a moment. He smiled.
"Hey," he whispered.

Blizzardgaze, blinking back cat tears, mewed,
"Hey."

Longflight mewed,
"We thought Redfall had killed you."

Foxclaw coughed,
"Nah... Just busted my shoulder... I kinda fell asleep cos it hurt so much..."

Longflight glanced at the red tom atop the Gray Rock - Redstar was looking at him - then back to the dying warrior as Foxclaw mewed,
"I think... I think he's leader, now... Bet he'll be a good one."

"But, but he tried to kill you," Blizzardgaze mewed.

Foxclaw shook his head.
"Nah, nah... I tried to kill him, he was just..." The tom coughed violently, the blood flowing from his throat increasing as he did so. He coughed harder, fighting to breath.
"Please," he wheezed, "Forgive me..." Foxclaw shuddered violently and went still.

Blizzardgaze's face went emotionless and she turned away from the tom, like he wasn't there.

Longflight looked down at his former apprentice. It was at this point he wondered, where in the Darkforest was Blackpaw, Foxclaw's brother? The cream colored tom shook his head, sighing.
He dragged the corpse of Foxclaw into the shade... I suppose it'll be my job to bury him, he thought, thinking of his soon-to-be announcement.
Longflight watched Blizzardgaze go off and join the others in herding the intruders off.
She'll be okay, he thought. She was never actually in love with him, everyone knows that. She was just looking for a replacement for Gingerleaf...
The old tom sighed once more while he was positioning the dead tom. Now, Foxclaw looked like he was merely sleeping - if you didn't look at the blood, that is.

Redstar jumped off of the Gray Rock, slowly padding around to check on his warriors. It was strange, he thought, that Silverfur hadn't made a single appearance.

Longflight was thinking something along the same lines, but more on the subject of sweet smelling herbs for the dead.
He padded into the Healer's den and mewed softly,
"Silverfur? You in here?"

[NKninja]

OOC: herm.... what should an apprentice do? Wait! I Know!

IC: Hollowpaw watched Longflight disappear into the healers den (OOC:shouldn't it be medicine cats den?)
IC: she was eager to follow, to see what he was up to, but she only turned to Silverpaw and mewed " would you like to meet my mentor?".
soon after she started to lick her injured wounds and wondered if Longflight was trying to look for Silverfur.

[Guest]

Flowerpaw watched Rook disappear into the air, and hoped, with whatever power an apprentice might have, that the bird's version of Starclan (OOC Its Phoenixclan) would really reward him with something, for standing by her in the battle.
OOC: They did.

[NKninja]

OOC: they must had rewarded him with a plump mouse

[Guest]

OOC: NO OOC ONLY POSTS! HAHA U HAZ BEEN OWNED TOO!
IC: Flowerpaw looked around at all these cats. Who were they? Why were they here? And why had they helped to fend off the intruders?

[Longstorm]

(OOC:shouldn't it be medicine cats den?)

OOC: Nope. We have a Healer, but it's the exact same thing as a medicine cat - the change was made way back when Darkclan didn't want to be the same as the other Clans.
Oh, and:

And GH - wow, Flowerpaw is too young to remember the beginning of the Rebellion... WOW... I guess I kinda overlooked that... It's the same Clan, but the two sides were brought up differently! This is the making for more interesting character development...

IC: Gorseclaw mewed to Sunmist,
"Why don't you help Frostshine?" Sunmist usually would have objected, but she knew what her brother was referring to and nodded. She padded up to the black tom, mewed softly.

Gorseclaw watched his sister then followed the other cats, making sure the intruders left.

Silverpaw mewed to her mentor,
"Should I help?"

Gorseclaw turned and shook his head.
"No - stay here and help." His gaze softened and he mewed, "You did well, Silverpaw."

Silverpaw's expression changed and she positively glowed at the praise. She dipped her head and padded off to ask what she could do to help.

[NKninja]

OOC: yea... GH, i deserved that VERY MUCH

IC: Hollowpaw watched Silverpaw walk away and thought how she should help.
she walked up to flowerpaw, who looked confused. " we should get moving with the others" she meowed.

[Guest]

OOC: hahahahahahahahahaha ok that was random
IC: Flowerpaw looked at Hollowpaw. hadn't the bird just told her to make friends? Well,here was her chance. "Okay." flowerpaw said.

[Loki]

OOC: I'm going to do two things: Moan and rpg
First I'll moan. Sassy... Did you not read the Outcast rules? There is a strict policy against unnatural colored cats and animals. a Tiara.. I'm sorry I can't let this stand your 12 now? This is a
realistic RPG please make a character sheet for Sassypelt, it has not been accepted and your causing confusion. So any posts until then of Sassypelt cannot be acknowledged. Play by the rules. BTW GH owns me at bird RPGing

IC:
High above, Rook of Abbysclan looked down. his black ruffled feathers bristled with excitement and he nearly lost control in flight. He chirped loudly, excited and enthusiastic.
"Oh!" He cackled," Won't master be pleased, he will! He WILL!"
He plotted in his mind, watching the weak cats bellow.
"I'll eat them all and while Abbysclan attacks, Carr, will be praised! He WILL!"
He circled the cats bellow, taking a last look.
From what he saw, were injured tired cats, they may have won this battle, would master hear my words? Carr shuddered. I'm hungry...

He turned and took wing towards Abbysclan. He'd raid a pigeon nest before he talked to Despairingcall, what better then to celebrate a nice find with fresh hatchlings? Carr's beady eye glinted but he looked around, he had only one true friend in the form of a robin, "Sarok?"
He called. Sarok was an unusual robin, another spy of Abbysclan, a worthy one. Carr thought him as a worthy creature when he could not catch and eat him ounce. Now he looked out for the Dark grey feathers of Sarok, he wanted to share the news... Darkclan are at this moment , Vulnerable.

[NKninja]

OOC: let me help you here.
your trying to post on the accepted darkclan cats bio, that does not work, just make a new topic without going into any of the bio's, then others will see that and maybe accept it.

while im still here typing, i guess i will begin RPing with my swan

IC: kusu flew above the lushes green trees, eye's fixed on the great large mountains in the distance. the sun was just starting to set behind her. then, in the corner of her eye, she saw a few birds, " what are they doing?" she thought.
almost as if the wind pushed her away, she turned immediately in the direction of the ruckus.

hollowpaw was beside her friend flowerpaw (ooc: if she is her friend)
it has been a long day, she wished she could just vanish into a deep sleep, like the sun does after a great day of work.

OOC: i was also thinking, sassypelt, you cant double post or just OOC in a topic like this sometimes, since you new, i will cut you some slack
by the way, your TO BE cat sounds more like an apprentice or a kit then a warrior. maybe you should start with that then a plain warrior.

[Longstorm]

OOC: I was wondering when ole Sass-puss would get here... *sigh*, this is gonna get interesting... I swear, I look away for one day - the last time I was away randomly for a day, there was a fight... Hmm...
Nah, coincidence. Ooh, let's just play our birds here, since the cats have all moved on!

IC: Sarok, having been in the area, fluttered down onto a nearby branch.
"What is it, Carr," he chirped his sweet song (but if you knew the language, his tone was cool). "I was looking upon the Tawny place." He cocked his little head, watching with a beady brown eye.

[Loki]

OOC: I'm just going to play the strict cop. I won't hesitate account deletion (warning to all) if a fight brakes out. We'v all been a happy family since two people disapeared. I was wondering when certain people would appear. Guess who registered again? He pestered my forgiveness which is to far gone, I am a

butt-hole

adin after all

IC:
Carr landed on a branch and cocked his head enigmatically at the intelligent being in front of him. "I was beginning to feel worried, I was. I thought small independent Sarok had become buzzard food, I did."
Carr fluffed out his wiry feathers. "We should report incident of Dark cat clan to Master so Master can attack. Sarok, your wings are faster then mine, why not fly and tell master of this incident now, yes now, while their still recovering, they try?"

[Longstorm]

Since Sarok spent a lot of time around Despairingcall and knew of the many tales of his Clan, he thought that they might wait to attack - but he kept his beak shut.
Besides, this gave him a chance to be in the Clan territory, where many worms lived!
"Fine," he chirped, took off, and wheeled in the sky. He vanished into the fading light, crying as a robin would in the evening.

OOC: Robins have a song for just about everything... I really read into them - they're so cute...
Stupid moment: Did you know all robins have white tips on their outermost tail feathers? I didn't know that till I watched multiple robins take off... *shrug*

Loki, OC came back? What is that, the third time? Huh... Boy, is he persistent.

[Loki]

OOC: I love robins. I love all animals really, even the most ugly! I could boast I'm the most knowledgeable about them in my school. Ravens... I never knew how big they were until I went to a museum. MASSIVE! I'v always wanted to see a Nightjar though.

IC: Carr watched him off. He plucked an itchy feather out from and already bold area under his wing and took off himself. The night air felt good against his wings.
He spotted what her was looking for, a pigeon nest. unoccupied? He flew over and looked inside, the parents were probably hunting for whatever is was those ugly creatures ate; why should Carr care? He plucked a chick out, they were small but even more the tastier. he swallowed it whole, before flying further off to see what was going to happen.

[NKninja]

OOC: thank goodness i have a bird, so i can actually write on this awesome topic still.

IC: kusu finally was close enough and could see what was going on. there were a few birds,but they didn't look friendly. " who are they?" she buzzed to herself.
kusu made the decision of getting closer. she stretched her wings far out, attempting to land quietly, but failed and fell. she was lucky a bush softened her land (she is not that good at landing)
after a few heartbeats, she realized that she landed a little too far from the unknown birds. she soon got up, her webbed feet feeling smooth on the soft, cold grass, and just walked in the direction of voices.

OOC: i hope im doing good with this swan
