Tigerclaw ejected his claws from Bluestar's pelt. She lay limp, motionless. "Finally..." Tigerclaw mewed with delight. I did everything you wanted me to, Thistleclaw. Tigerclaw grabbed her scruff and announced with false grief. "Bluestar was killed in the battle with the rogues. They took our leader away." Tigerclaw mewed with false rage. In reality, delight bubbled in him like a stream.

Gasps of horror and shock flooded in the clearing. "I will be the new leader of ThunderClan!" All thanks to you, Thistleclaw. "Yellowfang will accompany me to the Moonstone tonight, so I may receive my lives."

Soon, Tigerclaw, now Tigerstar, obtained 9 lives and a new title. His first was from Pinestar, for courage, then from Bluestar, for faith, after that, Sunstar, for nobility, after THAT, one from Leopardfoot, for caring, His fifth was from his mentor's mentor, Adderfang, for loyalty.

After Adderfang, came his sixth, from Spottedleaf, for love, his seventh was from Swiftbreeze, for strength, his eighth was from Redtail, for power equaling responsbility. The final one was from a cat who he's not expected. "Thistleclaw?!" He looked. He thought it'd be a weak ThunderClan cat, not a strong warrior like his mentor. "StarClan was kind enough to allow me for your final life. I give you a life for ambition. To aim higher than any other cat." He said and continued. "I'm very proud of you. I hail you by your new name, TigerSTAR."

"I must announce the new deputy. Darkstripe." Tigerstar looked at the large, gray warrior. "I will hold a vigil for Bluestar's body, but first, I must do the worst task of all. Fireheart was the one who killed Bluestar. Along with Graystripe!" He lied.

"What!?" Various cats yowled with hatred at the best friends. Fireheart and Graystripe were speechless. The fact those cats whom trusted both of them through the years are notw going against them is saddening the two. Fireheart's yowls of argument was drowned in the yowls. All hope seem lost for the pathetic kittypet and his weak friend. "Fireheart, Graystripe, do any of you wish to say anything in your defense?"

Both of the two remained silent. Nothing they would say would make the thunderclan cats believe them. "I send you both to exile!" Tigerstar hissed. Whitestorm and Yellowfang stared in disbelief. Cinderpelt was heartbroken. Sandstorm was yowling with protest.

"Since you have no defense, I hereby exile you from ThunderClan." Tigerstar said, with false grim. "If you are seen on this territory again, Fireheart, Graystripe, my warriors have my permission to kill you. You should be thankful you didn't end up with the same fate as your leader did." He hissed with cold hatred.

A few moons later, Tigerstar realizes what is going on with ShadowClan, two cats are seen asking for help, but Tigerstar sends both away. Soon, at a gathering, Nightstar, ShadowClan's leader, dies of sickness, and Blackfoot, now Blackstar, takes his spot.

Tigerstar also announces what "happened" to Bluestar and that Yellowfang had died in a recent forest fire (Yes, I time skipped to Rising storm, also, Blackstar becomes leader because of ShadowClan's desperation.) The gathering comes to an end soon.

"I want to speak with RiverClan. Darkstripe will be in charge while I am away. There's something that concerns me." He said, as he prodded over to the Sunningrocks. Sunningrocks is a territory that ThunderClan and RiverClan fight many battles over. Right now, it's ThunderClan territory, but Starclan knows when they'll launch an attack.

Crookedstar saw the large tabby at the border, and asked why he was there. Tigerstar offered for RiverClan and ThunderClan to collide into one clan. Leopardfur urges Crookedstar on, and soon, he agrees. Tigerstar then goes back to ThunderClan, telling his decision, many yowls of outrage were heard, however, ignored. "It is for the good of every clan, I will seek Tallstar and Blackstar's decisions as well.

Tigerstar went to visit them, and they both declined. He'd get his revenge soon, however. Blackstar preferred the clans being different. That's why they have different names, after all. Tallstar knew Tigerstar was a powerful leader, being ruled under him though would be a deathwish.
