The Battle Of The Badgers

[Shadingsun]

(hahaha, you ready for the start of the badger war? lets just say shes not there w/ the clans right now. And you can all jump in, since this envolves all the clans, so dont be shy to rp here, even if your not in the tribe, mainly b/c it`ll soon envolve all you people anways~ and no, this wont exactly take place on the battle grounds. only the war/fighting part of the prophecy will *points below*)

Sunwind yawned and padded towards her tribe members, of most who were sleeping at the time. The cats slept were a small dent in there meteor camp had formed, and all tribe members slept on a bed of hawk feathers and soft green moss. "Healer, healer!" said a voice from behind which startled her, and Sunwind whipped around to see Mistgravel running towards her, her eyes wide as though she had seen something that scared her. "Mistgravel! Arent you supposed to be on watch, small one?"asked Sunwind, smiling. "B-but Sun Beams On Wind, there are strange creatures coming towards our camp!" said Mistgravel, her ears pulled back in worry and her eyes stretching wider with each word. "What do you-" then she saw it. It was like a whole army of badgers, with wide teeth that shined like the monsters that Sunwind had seen on the thunderpath. They had large red glowing eyes, and they had pelts with black stripes as dark as the night sky. In the lead was a big dog that looked like what the humans would call, a 'doberman', and it was double the size of the huge badgers behind it. "No......It cant be...!" exclaimed Sunwind, her eyes wide with distraught. "What is it, Sunwind?!" Mistgravel quickly jumped on Sunwinds head, and clung to it for her life. "The prophecy.....it is true. The battle of the badgers, it has....begun." quickly, Sunwind yowled for all her cats to wake up, and once they all saw what was coming for them up the hill, they quickly sprang to there feet, ran across the valley quickly, and leaped into the forest. "Quickly! We must warn the others!" meowed Sunwind loudly after her tribemates, quickly sprinting after them once she saw that all of them were out of the camp. "Healer, by others, do you mean the weird clan-cats that we had an encounter with last winter?" (note: clan cats call it leafbare, while tribe-cats just call it like we would) asked Mistgravel, still managing to cling onto Sunwinds head as her healer ran. "Yes, Mistgravel. The prophecy involves them also. But if we are to get there before the prophecy has happened, then we must act with great swift and grace." whispered Sunwind, quickly putting on a burst of speed until she was at the head of her clanmates. "Quickly, my tribe! We are not to die today, and we must warn the others before they kill us and them as well! Do not look back either, for if you do, you shall surely pay the price!" yowled Sunwind after her tribe. Some of her tribe-members gave her weird looks, but all of them sped up faster at the thought of being murdered. We musnt stop now.....all our lives are on the line!, thought Sunwind, speeding her pace as her tribe did.

[Rainstar]

Rainstar paced around her clan, everyone was busy stockin gup food for when leafbare brought the cold. In the distance she heard what sounded like a large group of cats. "Stormclan battle positions!"she yowled. "A large group is coming!" Stromclan quickly took their battle formation, they stood on one side of the tiver guarding the kits and elders inside Rainstar's den. The strongest warriors formed a wall around the others. Rainstar leapt to her perch in the center of the river and prepared for who was coming. "Rainstar, is that Sunwind?"called out Embertail. "Looks like it... wait here, I'll go see what's up."Rainstar said and left to see what Sunwind had to say. "Embertail, Appleheart, you two come with me." The three cats followed the sound.

[silverheart]

Blazecloud flexed her claws, ready to fight to the death. She hated badgers, and everything about them. Getting in her battle position, she looked at the orange tabby, Orangebriar, who was standing two fox tails away from her, looking ready to fight. "Finally, a battle!" she whispered to him. "We haven't had a battle in months!"

Scarlett raised her head from her mouse, flicking her ears. A strange smell had filled her nostrils, and it was strangely familiar. "Black Leaves that Sway on Water," she asked the sleek black tom. "Can you smell that?" She saw him lift his head and sniff the air. Her muscles tensed when she heard him gasp. "Badgers!" he whispered

[Shadingsun]

(uh, silver, Blackwater ish dead xD LOL, BUT WHATEVER~ I`ll just rp as Fern that lays on ground.)

Sunwind quickly ran towards Rainstar and her warriors, her tribe following close behind her and Mistgravel bouncing up and down on her head. "Do not stop now! Quickly, run! We must all gather in one place!" hissed Sunwind, quickly shoving Rainstar ahead of her. Sunwind could hear the snarls of the badgers about two miles away with her sensitive ears, but she knew if there was a big group of cats around they wouldnt attack them.....for a while, atleast.
"Sun, some of our tribe members are lagging behind a small pace! We must gather somewhere soon." reported Mistgravel from Sunwinds head, her tiny silver ears pricked up as she heard the badgers too.

------------------------------------------------

Orangebriar nodded, then quickly unsheathed his claws. "I know! Its finally a relief to fight instead of cleaning the new camp!" snorted Orangebriar. "Hey.....you see that?" Orangebriar narrowed his eyes as he saw multi-colored dots on the horizon, and he felt his fur begin to rise as he recognized them as cats, quickly running towards them.

----------------------------------


Fern that lays on Ground lifted her head at the sound of voices, and she quickly decided to join in on the conversation. "I do! Do you think there coming for us?" she whispered quickly, her light green eyes growing wide. Fernground then pricked up her ears as Sunwind, there healer, shot up from her sleep. Sunwind then yowled for the rest of the tribe to wake up, and she quickly pointed with her tail towards the storm coming for them up the hill. Fernground gasped, quickly stood up, and ran for her life, not looking back because it would then slow her down.

[Rainstar]

(Stormcaln is ready for battle!)(wait..who's our med cat?! They rlly need to rp now!)
"What are you talking about?"Rainstar asked."Wait...a battle?" "No! It can't be, not yet!" She raced back to her clan to address them. Appleheart and Embertail followed close behind. "Stormclan, prepare for war!"she yowled. Excited mews came from the clan. "Alright! Elders, kits, queens and young apprentices, go into the Earthclan tunnels!" she said."Barricade the entrance to it with brambles in stones, best you can." "As for you two.."she said turning to Rushpaw and Ravenpaw. "Are you ready for a good fight?"
__________________________________________________________________________
Ravenpaw couldn't belive what was going on, a war....against what? She shrugged and followed the other warriors to battle. She caught up to Embertail and Appleheart. "What's going on?"she asked. "I think....."replied Appleheart. "We're fighting badgers."

[Shadingsun]

(OOOOHHHH, ALL THE CATS I 'OWNN' Dx AND.....THATS BREEZECLAWWW)

Rushpaw bounced up in excitement, and quickly unsheathed his claws. He then quickly ran over to Mothpaw, his tail lashing. "Are you ready for a battle?" he asked, his eyes sparkling with excitment. Mothpaw glared at him, and so did the two apprentices behind her. "A battle? With you? Hah! You`ll just kill yourself." said Mothpaw, sneering at Rushpaw while her dark eyes glittered with menance. "W....What?" murmered Rushpaw, his eyes growing wide. "Hah, Hah! Y-Yeah, shes right. Besides, you cant even get up the nerve to defend yourself with anything, saying your not even brave enough to make a foxdunged comeback!" hissed one of the apprentices, taking a brave step forwards. "Go home to your mommy, Rushpaw. Or are you to scared to even go to her? Maybe you`ll go to starclan, after all, there the only ones that`ll accept you as there own, anyways." hissed Mothpaw, unsheathing her own claws and quickly slashing Rushpaw across his nose. Rushpaw felt anger burn like hot coals in his paws, but he forced himself to control his temper, and he stormed away and managed to shoulder his way to the front of the war line, his pelt rising.

------------------------

Sunwind groaned, ran over to were the stormclan cats were lining up, and quickly waved her tail for her tribe to rest. There were sighs and gasps from behind her, and Sunwind padded over to Rainstar and swiped her paw over the blue tabbys ear. "Not....NOW. Wait, unpatient one. We must gather all the clans first. " sighed Sunwind, flattening her ears in anger and frowning.

------------------------------

Blackflight managed to shoulder her way over to Rainstar and the small ginger cat beside her, and Blackflight dipped her head and began her report. "Were all lined up, and the kits, elders, and queens are barricaded safely in your den. Is it time to fight yet?"

[breezeclaw]

breezepaw was beggining to follow the other apprentences, when stripefur came running from the crowd of frightened cats. "breezepaw! where are you going? you need to help me make sure everyone is ready to go before the badgers get here!" stripefur yowled over the frantic mews around the camp. breezepaw dashed over to where stripefur was talking to another older cat. "what do i need to do?" breezepaw asked as bravely as she could. "go give these to everyone you can." stripefur mewed as she pushed some herbs over to her. "ok!" breezepaw meowed, and picked up the plants and gave one to everyone she could. when she go to rushpaw he looked hurt. "you ok?" breezepaw asked gently.

[Rainstar]

"Mothpaw, stop it!"scolded Rainstar. "Leave Rushpaw alone, and before you say anything..'she sighed. "You can come if you wish, just be very careful!" she stalked off to join the clan. "Sorry about that BLackflight...we will be ready in a minute"Rainstar said to Blackflight. "Now, where is that medicine cat?" she asked herself.
_________________________________________________________________________
Ravenpaw tried hard to hold back a laugh. She walked up to the other apprentices, Mothpaw looked defeated. "Glad now?"she asked.

[breezeclaw]

stripefur ran to find rainstar to make sure she got the herbs. stripefur pushed through the crowd until she found the leader talking to blackflight. "rainstar. me and breezepaw are ready. did she already give you the strenthining herb?" stripefur asked

[silverheart]

Blazecloud squinted her eyes at the dots in the distance. "Holy StarClan!" she gasped. "Are those- cats?!" Her eyes wide with fear and wild with battle, she unsheathed her claws and sheathed them repeatedly. "This may be a battle to the death," she whispered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(OMGz! BLACKWATER IS DEAD??!!!!! well, then, otay!!!)
Scarlett followed Fern, fear and the light of battle in her eyes. "Wait Fern!" she called. "We shouldn't run! We should fight for our tribe!"

[Shadingsun]

(To Silver: LOL, YES. SUNWIND KEELS `IM. NAR.
To Raineh: IM SORRY. MOTHPAW ISH SO MEAN xD
To Breeze: Lol, i rly dont know xD
ALL. THE CATS. I OWN Dx)


Mothpaw grinned. "Actualey, I am. Now why dont you go ahead and catch yourself a lumpy pigeon and then go brag to the elders about what a great warrior you`ll be. I`m sure they`ll be willing to die over when your done." sneered Mothpaw, whipping herself around in disgust when she was done with her sentence and padding away. The other two apprentices that were behind her looked after her with wide eyes, looked back at Ravenpaw, stuck out there tounges and wrickled there noses in disgust at her too, and quickly ran back towards Mothpaw."This is such a lovely day. I`m glad your agreeing with me so well today, Yellowpaw, Crosspaw." meowed Mothpaw to the two apprentices behind her, her blueish eyes filled with ambition and pride. The two apprentices behind her, one a creamy she-cat with pale brown eyes, and one a skinny she-cat with glowing scarlet colored eyes, nodded sheepishly and quickly caught up with her, both she-cats heads pulled down in respect and shyness towards Mothpaw.


--------------------------------------------

Rushpaw looked up as Breezepaw came towards him, and he pawed at the preparation herbs that she had given him. "Its Mothpaw. Shes being mean towards all the apprentices, except for Yellowpaw and Crosspaw, who are both willingly following her around like puppets. Shes starting to worry me....like...like somethings not right." whispered Rushpaw, looking up at Breezepaw with sad eyes.

-----------------------------------------------

"Are you kidding me?! I`m definetley NOT going to fight those....those...whatever they ARE until our healer says so!" hissed Fernground (you connect the first word of there name and the last word of there name~ Ex: Fern that lays on ground= Fernground~ ^^), picking up her pace once she saw that the badgers were getting even closer to the tribes cats.

--------------------------------------------

Sunwind hissed then sighed. "Rainstar, your not listening to me! Stop being a dumb coalbug and start opening up your ears! We musnt fight today, nor tomorrow, but in four days, when the moon is at its highest shape, and when all the clans are together as one. That is the day we must fight, when all the clans and my tribe is at its strongest!" hissed Sunwind, pawing Rainstar over the ears with hard paws and stinging eyes.

-----------------------------------------------------------


Blackflight narrowed her eyes, and then she hissed. "Rainstar, can we really trust this small kitty? I mean, seroiusly, we could take her down and her tribe in one heartbeat!" growled Blackflight, flattening her scarred ears to her head and lashing her tail in slight anger. Sunwind narrowed her eyes at Blackflight, and she puffed out her pelt in anger that made her so big, she was almost as tall as the 'small' stormclan cats. "Rainstar, your beta cat is very ignorant. I would watch her, if I were you. And you named Blackflight; do not judge my tribe or myself by our size, for our strength is big compared to yours." growled Sunwind, her voice low.

------------------------------------

Orangebriar rolled his eyes then sighed and flattened his ears to his head. "To the death? Well then, I`m certainly not going to die today, then." said Orangebriar, his green eyes suddenly flashing with hard determination.

[silverheart]

(LOLZ, OTAY THEN.)
Scarlett hissed with frustration and stop in front of Fern. "We're going no further," she panted, letting her fur rise. "We have to fight for our Tribe!" Seeing a look of fear in Fern's eyes, she said, "Look, I know this may be frightening, but cats will die if we don't help!" She paused and murmured, "Anyway,I've probably been through a more frightening thing then you have." Grief pierced her heart as she thought about Tree's death, but she shook the tears away and stood up straight. "Let's go." she said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blazecloud sighed, and rolled her eyes the same as Orangebriar. "Now, that's the Orangebriar I know," she said jokingly. "Now, what is Rainstar doing?" She craned her neck to see Rainstar, with Blackflight and a cat she had never seen before. "Who in StarClan is that cat with swirls?" Blazecloud half wondered, half hissed. "What is she doing here?"

[silverheart]

(OH, CRUD!!! I CALLED HER FERN AGAIN!!!!!)

[breezeclaw]

breezepaw watched rushpaw eat the herbs. "well, if i were you, or well a warrior, i would just ignore her and try to be better than her and her lowsy friends. i mean, its not very good to be commetitive, but she seems to be acting like shes better than you!" breezepaw said gently and hoped it would help. "well i will see you later, i got to make sure everyone gets herbs." snd breezepaw dashed off to the next cat.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Redwhisker looked outside the camp entrance worriedly. 'will they attack us while we are sleeping? what if we are not ready? what if im not ready?' she thought. every time there was some kind of battle coming up, reedwhisker gets very nervous. she has always been like that, ven when she was a kit. she had even thought about being a medicine cat but she did not want to make her father upset. sence she was born, quickspider could not wait till we were warriors. every day he would tell us that we would be the best warriors ever. lunarpaw was a medicine cat apprentice before she left. now redwhisker is pretty happy she became a warrior though. she looked around to make sure her mother, sunflower, made it with the other elders. she could not see her but just to be safe she went to go ask her father but before she could make it there, she noticed cats racing toward camp.

---------------------------------------
Glittereyes yowled as a badger tore apart the warriors den. cats were racing every where around camp. she lept on top of the large beast and scratched its back. clan mates were racing out of camp. "glittereyes! come on!" the deputy screeched at her. glittereyes fell to the ground as the badger wacked her off its back. before it could do more, she dashed out of camp after the others. 'whats going to happen to us now?'

[Rainstar]

(umm breeze, i think the badgers are not sposed to be here yet,but um okay...I kno whow to tie it in he he)
Ravenpaw turned and hissed at Mothpaw as she stalked away. "When this is over"she growled. "We're going to do a 'practice' fight" She turned around two badgers were running through the camp. "They must be scouts, to look ahead and see if we're worth an attack!"screeched Embertail. "Come on, we can't let them return to their camp!"replied Appleheart. The two cats tackled the nearest badger. "Just in time to get my anger out"whispered Ravenpaw. She leapt ontop of the badger and prepared for the final strike....
__________________________________________________________________________
"Should we all stay at one camp?"Rainstar asked Sunwind. "So then we would be more powerful..."she whiped her head around at the sound of screeching kits. "Oh and...." she was cut off as a badger tackled her. "This just isn't my day."she said to herself. "Mothpaw! Get over here!" she called. "Use the trick flip move I taught you!" (trick the enemy to thinking your gunna attack at one spot, leaping over it, then tripping it's hind legs flipping it over)But Mothpaw was too distracted. Instead Embertail rushed over and helped Rainstar. "Thanks, now let's finish this off!" Rainstar said and sliced the flipped badger's throught.
