"I tried everything I could. Nothing worked. This was my last resort. Nothing else I could do at that point. Tried killing a ShadeClan cat, didn't work. Tried just talking, didn't work. Nothing else I tried…"

"I understand, but did you really need to wipe out all of TimeClan and half of ShadeClan? Not that the ShadeClan part is bad, of course…but killing all those cats? You've never been a killer."

"Last resort. Did you not hear me? Otherwise Shade would've wiped out the Clans completely."

Flameflicker sighed. "Please, just…And one other thing, why rescue me, of all cats?"

"Because you were the last cat I saw before I detonated the Twoleg bomb." The loner pondered for a second. "Really was kind of stupid, using those Twoleg things to do it, but again, last-"

"I know it was last resort!" Flameflicker hissed. "Do you not get my question? And Snake-eyes was also there, so why not rescue him? WHY NOT?"

"Twolegs. So daft. They really should've noticed, though, that I stole a device with explosive properties from under their very nose. Might've just killed Hitler in that explosion, too…"

"Explowhatnow?" He was getting restless by now. The loner wasn't even paying attention to him now. What was the point? He walked away.

"Which, if we say the linear level of the timeflip is twenty-three billion, four hundred fifty-nine million, two hundred twenty-seven thousand, eight hundred fifty-six, shows that the true linear possibility is relative to the Theory of Relativity- I- I- Oh!" He noticed Flameflicker was leaving. "Come back, I'm done stating boring numbers!"

Flameflicker turned for a second, then looked back at his destination, which currently seemed to be nowhere in particular. He continued walking in his unspecified direction.

"Quite remarkable, the way things work out around here," the loner said. "Better make a note of that. Never state boring numbers in front of another cat."

And then he walked away in the opposite unspecified direction.

Second chapter, still working this out. Yes, Flame will be a companion, and yes, next chapter we will go into an actual plot. Not that they won't be Warriors versions of existing episodes. ;)
