MidnightClan x TalonClan BATTLE!

[Midnight]

If you're unsure of what's going on here, please read this thread.

Players of the kidnappers: Make sure to have your cats physically harass Pebblestar a little bit (without powerplaying, please) before they begin to hear the yowls from camp. At that point, any cat that was guarding Pebblestar should flee under the assumption that she won't be able to go anywhere.

Briarclaw padded forward without a sound, her tail barely lifted and curled slightly over her back, a signal to her Clan that they were to follow, but they were not to make noise. Briarclaw had announced to TalonClan last night that they would be attacking MidnightClan, as she had come to a conclusion after the previous gathering: MidnightClan's absence meant they were guilty of kidnapping Pebblestar. There had been no other solution. Pebblestar would not have left her Clan without a word, and none of the other leaders would come clean about it, and one who was guilty was often absent, unable to face what they had done. "Bramblestar is a coward, a cat unworthy of leading! We will reclaim Pebblestar!" Briarclaw had told her Clanmates. She felt their stares and knew that while some were itching for a fight, and for justice, many were criticizing Briarclaw's choice.

Regardless of what a few TalonClanners may have thought, Briarclaw had to have hope, because it was something to cling on to. Briarclaw had been a complete wreck since Pebblestar's disappearance, and she was in no way ready to accept the possibility that Pebblestar was dead - something in her gut told her that Pebblestar was alive. Even if Briarclaw's gut was wrong, even if Pebblestar was never to be found again, at least the warrior had tried. If she announced Pebblestar dead without making sure, Briarclaw would never be able to forgive herself.

And so the deputy had brought along several of TalonClan's top warriors and apprentices, leading them in the night. They went down the usual path to reach the Pond of Truce, and after heading down the mountain for several hours, Briarclaw ordered everyone to take a break once they reached the gathering placed. "We will continue at dawn, so take your time, and make sure to drink, hunt, and sleep enough so you are fully prepared for the fight."

Dawn came, and about an hour after, Briarclaw and the TalonClanners had reached MidnightClan's territory. Having gotten up at dawn, they managed to trespass right after the first patrol of the morning had gone by, and they were incredibly lucky in doing so.

Finally, the camp had been reached. Briarclaw turned and let out a low meow, "Remember: any cat that goes near the nursery or the elders' den will receive severe consequences. We must not stoop as low as them. Do not attempt to kill any cat. Someone may die in or after the battle, but I don't want to see or hear about any of you breaking the warrior code and purposely taking a cat's life. That is not the TalonClan way." The tortoiseshell's eyes narrowed and she was silent for a moment. Briarclaw dipped her head and spoke again, "For Pebblestar."

Briarclaw turned and stalked closer to MidnightClan's camp entrance, entering with a wave of her tail.

The battle had begun.

A tom followed closely behind his deputy, his ears perked and prepared for any battle, any sound that would set him off. His mouth was set into a snarl as he prepared for anything, his golden eyes narrowed to a slit as he stared ahead. He listened closely as Briarclaw spoke, and he onl agreed upon such. Going as low as them would be purely...horrid, and he would never do such, yet he still felt anger for everything to happen. They kidnapped his faithful leader, and he would get his revenge.

His revenge upon those sinners.

Claws sliding out of his paws, his sharp teeth now exposed as the cold gaze in his golden eyes sparked, he followed his clan, and slipped into the camp, and was ready for any attacker awaiting them.

Maplebreeze wasn't too happy about the idea of yet another battle for Talonclan. It seemed not too long ago they just got done defending themselves from Leafclan. but now, Midnightclan had gone too far. He understood what Briarclaw was doing. And he planed to defend his friend and his clan.

He let out a sigh as they started off during the night. It was going to tiring just getting there, let alone the fighting. but he stayed close to Briarclaw, watching her closely to see if how she was doing. Making sure she was okay.

As the next day started and they left for the camp again the orange tom moved to be close to Briarclaw. It wasn't that he was worried she couldn't defend herself, far from it actually. but of all the warriors and apprentices from Talonclan ready to fight, she was the closest he had to a friend. She was also their leader, until they got Pebblestar back, the clan needed her.

Listening to Briarclaw make the announcement of protecting the lives they fight made a heavy weight life off his shoulders. He hated the idea of killing the innocent. Kits, had no reason to die at the ends of claws, or teeth. The tom readied himself for the inevidable fight to come. He would only do what was necessary, nothing more.

[Lionhearted]

The small ginger tabby cat, coincidentally, had just come back from checking upon Pebblestar. Then, she spotted the tortoiseshell deputy exploding out of the bushes.

Took them long enough! Firefern laughed and jumped into camp. "Too late, Briarclaw!" She screeched joyously. "We don't have Pebblestar! She is far from here!" She crowed rentlessly. She was not afraid of giving away the fact that they had kidnapped the TalonClan leader- in fact, she had been looking forward to this day. Firefern was not one for pretending.

True, the small leader was hidden from camp. Not even Bramblestar knew where it was.

but Firefern expressed a wave of anger. Was this all a coincidence, or did someone tip Briarclaw off? If it was really just the deputy attacking the Clans to take back their leader, how did she just happen to pick MidnightClan?

Briarclaw's eyes widened. Either this cat knew nothing and was just antagonizing or they knew everything, and the TalonClan deputy wasn't about to take any chances. Briarclaw let out a screech and lunged forward, putting all of her weight into the front half of her body in an attempt to knock Firefern down. Briarclaw's paws waved wildly, aiming to slash Firefern in the face.

"I don't care how far Pebblestar is! Where is she?! TalonClan is taking its leader back, you hear me? I knew MidnightClan had kidnapped Pebblestar! I knew it!" Briarclaw yowled as loudly as she could, trying to make sure every cat heard her. "MidnightClan has our leader!"

[Lionhearted]

Briarclaw's mass slammed the ginger she-cat down, but Firefern grunted then cackled. "I will take the secret to the Dark Forest! Kill me now... and spend forever looking for your beloved leader!" Giggling feebly, she pushed against Briarclaw's cheek, and slammed back against the other she-cat, clawing her face. Her vision blurred with blood from her wounds, which stung, but Firefern gashed her teeth and tried to slip out from under Briarclaw. However, the deputy was much heavier than her. She enjoyed toying with this foolish she-cat. She was just another Pebblestar.

"TalonClan isn't a real Clan!" She taunted.

Ooc: Gotcha Rose, Hawkblaze will be glad to kill him.

HAWKBLAZE:  NOT TO BE KILLED. WILL KILL. KILLING RUSSETFERN. CAN BE INJURED.

Two small bodies fell onto the fresh kill pile. Their plump little frame's rolling off the birds and voles that were already there, until they landed back at the tom's paws. Grimacing in irritation he stooped to pick them up and throw them back onto the pile. Satisfied that they wouldn't roll down any time soon the warrior turned and began to head back out of camp. He hadn't been able to sleep in the cramped den, and had decided to lose some of his restless energy in an early hunting session. It had been rather successful since he had caught two mice and a thrush. His stomach growled but he ignored it, knowing that if he ate without Foxfire she would claw his ears off. The fire furred she cat had big plans for him today, and he couldn't stuff his face if he wanted to be in top form.

Shaking out his chocolate brown and black swirled coat he quickly made the distance to the entrance, his long stride carrying his massive frame easily. The stench of Talonclan invaded his nose and he scrunched up his face in disgust. By the smell of it, there seemed to be a raiding party. Ears pricked forwards at the screech of Briarclaw, and he could've crowed in delight. His fur fluffed up, and his hazel eyes glowed fiercely. Finally, a battle to try out his strengths. Long black claws slide from their sheathe's and he bounded forwards, until he came face to face with the party. He had no idea why they were here, but he would certainly make them pay for it. "RAID ON THE CAMP! INTRUDER'S!" The tom bellowed, knowing it would be loud enough to wake up the rest of the sleeping Midnightclan. Snarling he locked eyes onto a large tom from Talonclan. Bounding forwards he closed the gap between them, aiming to collide with the cat's chest and rip out his throat. (Roselocke)

   "RAID ON THE CAMP! INTRUDER'S!"

 Green eyes snapped open at the sound of a familiar voice drifting into the mouth of the Warrior's den. That had been Hawkblaze. Springing to her paws she shook her fire red coat out, her ears swiveling onto the top of her head. A raid on camp? Images of Leafclan or Whisperclan flooded her mind, thinking that they would be the logical choice to raid, but when the scent of Talonclan entered her nostrils she crinkled her white whisker's in surprise. Talonclan? The Clan from the mountain decided to attack them? What in Starclan? The rush of adrenaline poured into her veins, and her ivory claws slid from their sheathe's. "Get up you lazy fools!" She snarled at the Clanmates around her, not caring if she stepped on them as she hurtled herself out the den. Scanning the quiet camp she couldn't help but feel a flash of anger. Where was everyone? Why wasn't Ashstep out her organizing the cat's? Or rallying for them? Grinding her teeth at the poor choice of deputy by Bramblestar, Foxfire yowled again, more so as an answer to Hawkblaze. White tail tip flicking she surged forwards and out of the camp. She watched as Hawkblaze raced to meet a large tom, and couldn't help but admire Hawkblaze's muscular frame and overall power as he ran. She would be able to finally see him in battle, knowing that they were battle fit and ready to fit after their months of sparring. She saw Firefern, a rather unstable and useless piece of fur (in her opinion, much love Lion), tussling with the deputy of Talonclan. Narrowing her eyes she couldn't but feel a bit cheated. She deserved to be fighting with the power position, not some lowly she-cat. Tearing her eyes away she hurtled herself into the fight. She would show no mercy to these cat's who dared step foot onto Midnightclan territory. The she-cat had already killed her sister... this would be no different.

Wolfrain had come out of the warriors den and he looked confused when he heard what Briarclaw had to say. "We don't have Pebblestar!" the skittish tom meowed rather loudly. He swallowed looking down as a few warriors looked at him. "Pl-Please don't l-look at me, I-its already ha-hard to sp-speak," he stammered. He looked around noticing that Sootblaze who had come out of the warriors den after him looked a bit guilty.

Jade and Kestrelfeather both came out of the warriors den and looked around when they heard the conversation between Briarclaw and Firefern. It was Kestrelfeather who noticed Sootblaze looked guilty and she narrowed her eyes at him her tail lashing back and forth. "Do you have something to do with this?" she snapped.

Sootblaze looked at Jade and than at kestrelfeather. "I don't have to tell you two anything. Not like your my friends or anything like that," he meowed coldly before stalking away from the three warriors. "Leafstep stop being a cowards and come out. Come back to where you belong. You don't belong in this clan of misfits and if you don't come back on your own free will I'll force you to come back," he growled unsheathing his claws his eyes blazing.

Leafstep had followed his leader into the camp and was listening to Briarclaw go back and forth about Pebblestar being missing. 'So they did take her,' he thought his eyes flashing towards Wolf-rain when he spoke. "Seriously that cat is still as skittish as a mouse," he muttered under his breath before hearing the voice of Sootblaze. He turned his attention to the cat he had once called his friend and he narrowed his eyes. "I'm never coming back, Sootblaze I will send you running if you even try and force me to return to this clan," he growled unsheathing his claws glaring right into Sootblazes eyes as he spoke.

Lionfire leapt into battle fighting for himself and his friend Mudbranch, who couldn't fight for his mentor because of his broken leg, but Lionfire was fighting twice as hard, for the both of them, he owed Mudbranch that much he yowled challengingly to the Midnightclan scum leaping on a warrior his claws out stretched

[Deleted]

MOONTALON WILL KILL IF DESIRED. NOT TO BE KILLED. IT IS PREFERRED IF HE ACQUIRES PERMANENT INJURY/MAIMING FROM BATTLE! (:

Moontalon stalked into MidnightClan's camp, determined to fight for his clan, his leader. He did not know Pebblestar well, but she had lead them honestly, and had done well. The large tom was ready for battle, the anticipation building for hours through the raid party's long venture here. He had been closer to the back of the TalonClan group, knowing that his clanmates may have needed him once the battle began.

Claws unsheathed and outstretched, he leapt into battle, a wicked snarl plastered on his face.

For Pebblestar.

[Lionhearted]

FOXBLAZE

The russet warrior came back to camp, only to find it in full-blown chaos.

"There's been an attack! They think we have Pebblestar!" Said his friend.

"NO ONE HURTS MIDNIGHTCLAN!" Foxblaze roared, erupting in a fury. He sprang into the battle, his claws gleaming sharply in the sunlight.

He was prepared to fight with his life. It was that idiot again, Briarclaw. How could MidnightClan have Pebblestar? They already had a leader.

He raked his claws down a tom's side, and ran towards him, trying to knock him down.

Moontalon's snarl quickly lost it's menace and a red paw slashed down his side. Yowling loudly in response, he knew it would hurt for days, weeks even. The large tom growled at the direction of the MidnightClan warrior, who was hurdling toward him. Thinking fast, Moontalon rooted himself, absorbing the impact of the warrior's assault. He embraced the tom, biting hard down on his shoulder as they both tumbled to the ground. "Where is Pebblestar!" He hissed maliciously, tasting blood, metallic on his tongue. MidnightClan must feel pain, as TalonClan had.

[Fiction]

Yarrowfang burst into camp, hearing the cries of battle from quite a while away. My first battle as a warrior! he thought gleefully, unsheathing his claws. The ginger tom may have been small, but he had a passion for fighting, and was fairly good at it too. He whipped his head around, looking for a cat who he would make suffer.

OOC: DON'T KILL YARROWFANG, but HE CAN KILL SOMEONE.

Prickleheart followed his deputy into MidnightClan's camp. As soon as he saw the fighting beginning, his face scrunched into a snarl. This good-for-nothing Clan had stolen their leader. They were going to pay. He kept in mind, of course, to stay away from the nursery. He had his own family waiting back home, if they were attacked, the spiky furred tom wouldn't know what to do with himself. The dark brown tabby stayed still, though his sharp claws were out and his whole form tense and ready to spring. MidnightClan had taken Pebblestar. They would very soon regret that choice.

OOC: PLEASE KILL PRICKLEHEART.

[Clemintine]

OOC: Just gonna go ahead and post this... so yeah c:

Pebblestar leaned against the cold wall the darkness had swallowed her whole as she kept her eyes closed and waited for anything to happen. It had been a good few moons since the incident happened, but yet nothing had happened, what was Briarclaw doing? The leader turned her head towards the entrance of the cave just in time to watch as the guards stormed off, clearly something had happened that Pebblestar did not know about, her body ached not only from her time here but also from her stomach, as she laid down her body seemed to have become skinnier while her stomach bulged out showing she still had her kits.

With the pain growing stronger Pebblestar knew she would being have her kits a bit earlier then what was planned. She never thought StarClan would allow such a thing to happen. The she-cat allowed her eyes to open as she stared ahead watching what little light could come into her prison dance against the walls, with that the leader gave an early birth in a pathetic place. No doubt her kits would show her hardship in the appearance, and that they did. One being Stillborn, one missing a hind leg and one being Polydactl, that was all she could notice before another one of the leaders life slipped away.

Pathetic.

(Yarrowfang can kill Tinywhisper or Palestone. Cats who can die Tinywhisper, Palestone, and Jade. Everyone else can be injured but nothing that is life threatening.)

Palestone and Tinywhisper had followed their leader into the Midnightclan clan camp. Since Tinywhisper was blind he had decided to fight with Palestone since they younger warrior could see. Tinywhisper had been born in Midnightclan while Palestone had been born in Leafclan but the two had become pretty good friends. Tinywhisper had joined Talonclan after losing his eyesight as an apprentice and Palestone had joined Talonclan as a kit.
