This is the story of where Rusty joined Windclan instead of Windclan but because of Tallstars revenge I decided to restart it. I will try and put more detail in the book so that it is better then the original.

Tallstar sat in his den by himself. It had been many moons since he had become the leader of Windclan but that wasn't what he was thinking of right now he was thinking of a message he had been given when he had received his nine lives. His father had told him that he would meet the son of his best friend and with his guidance Jake's son would keep the clans from getting destroyed. He wondered when he would meet his friends son and knew that his son would probably look just like him since he had heard the part where Sandgorse had told him that Jake's son would have a fire in his heart.

'I wonder when I'll meet Jake's son me and Jake had so much fun together,' he thought remembering all of the adventures he had, had with Jake. It had been right after he had left Windclan and he had never thought he would come back to WindClan. He had, had such a good time with Jake but reality had caught up with them. Jake had returned to twoleg place and he had returned to WindClan. Upon returning he had gotten to mentor Deadfoot and had become the deputy of Windclan. It had come to a surprise to him when Heatherstar had gotten sick and died making him the leader of Windclan but that was all in the past. He had been a leader for many seasons and really didn't have that many lives anymore. He was so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't notice that Barkface had approached him until he spoke. He started in surprise and looked at his friend and medicine cat. "Hello, Barkface is something wrong?" he asked his medicine cat hoping that nothing was wrong.

"Maybe I don't know, I just feel like there are dark times ahead for my clan. What about you, you kind of seem distracted," Barkface meowed to his leader watching him concerned hoping that nothing was wrong.

"I'm good, I'm just remembering the past," Tallstar meowed thoughts of Jake fading from his mind, he didn't want his medicine cat to worry about him after all he was the leader of the clan and not some common warrior.

"Thanking about Jake," Barkface asked. Barkface was the only cat Tallstar had told about his adventures with Jake and the message his father had given him the night he had received his nine lives.

"Yes, I was just wondering when I would meet Jake's son. Maybe Starclan was wrong and Jake will never have kits," Tallstar meowed to Barkface glancing at his medicine cat to see what he thought.

"StarClan is rarely wrong Tallstar, just give it sometime. Now if you don't mind I think I'll go get some rest," Barkface meowed to his leader dipping his head to Tallstar before heading off to his nest.

Tallstar watched his medicine cats retreating form and sighed before going over to his nest and curling up. He soon fell asleep but it wasn't long before he was woke up by the sound of fighting. He sprung out of his nest and looked around his eyes widening when he saw Shadowclan. Letting out a snarl he ran over to Brokenstar using his body weight to knock Brokenstar off his paws. "Brokenstar what is the meaning of this, why are you attacking Windclan?" the WindClan leader hissed glaring down at the ShadowClan leader.

"You are to weak of a clan to remain here. You and your clan mates are pathetic and I'll be doing everyone a favor by wiping out you and your pathetic clan mates," Brokenstar hissed kicking his hind paws hard into Tallstars stomach sending him flying.

Tallstar landed a few mouselengths away and clambered to his paws breathing hard. "I'll never let you destroy my clan," Tallstar hissed throwing himself at the Shadowclan leader and bit into his throat hoping to make him lose a life. He hoped that if he made the Shadowclan leader lose a life that he would get scared off and call off the attack. He felt the ShadowClan leader body go limp and he let go of the body and waited for Brokenstar to wake up.

Brokenstar opened his eyes mad that Tallstar had been able to take one of his lives away from him. "I won't let you get away with taking one of my lives," he hissed throwing himself at Tallstar and pinned the WindClan leader down before biting into his throat.

Tallstar's eyes widened with shock when Brokenstar slammed into him after having lost a life. The WindClan leader struggled under the ShadowClan leader but wasn't strong enough to throw off Brokenstar. He felt the leader bite into his throat and soon enough he woke up in Starclan. When he was sent back and opened his eyes he saw that Brokenstar was fighting Mudclaw. He struggled to his paws and looked around dismayed to see that his clan was losing badly. He stiffened when he saw the bodies of two kits and he closed his eyes. 'Those kits shouldn't have died and I won't let my clan share the same fate. I have to stop this there is no choice,' he thought sadly looking around his home one last time before calling out to his clan mates. "Retreat WindClan, WindClan retreat," he yowled watching his clan mates flee the camp. He followed after his clan mates stopping just before the exit and glanced over his shoulder at Brokenstar. "One day we will return and not even you will be able to drive us out a second time," he meowed.

"I doubt it," Brokenstar sneered.

Tallstar just narrowed his eyes at the ShadowClan leader before fleeing after his clan mates. He caught of with his clan mates a little away from the camp and let out a sigh of relieve. "Barkface, Deadfoot, I want to talk to you alone so we can talk about what to do next," he meowed leading his deputy and medicine cat a little way away from the group. "Barkface do you know what we should do?" he asked once they were alone and frowned when his medicine cat didn't answer his question. He glanced over at his medicine cat and followed Barkface's gaze up to the sky to see a shooting star before glancing back at his medicine cat waiting patiently to hear what his medicine cat had to say.

"It was a message from StarClan, fire alone will save the clan," Barkface meowed.
