Chapter 2 is here!
Reply to the review: Thank you!
I don't own anything here except the ideas!
Meta Knight awoke early the next day, eager to begin his time here. He, Sword, Blade, Tiff, Tuff, and Dedede all slept in the apprentice den. Well, Dedede slept outside because he was too fat. Kirby, Fololo, and Falala were in the nursery, and Escargoon was on a leaf.
"Hey, wake up, guys," Mety said to the knights. They were up shortly, and were ready to go. Kind of.
"Why are we *yawn* up so early?" Sword said sleepily. "We need to *yawn* sleep."
"I *yawn* agree," Blade meowed, groggily. "I'm sleepy." A slap woke them up.
"Let's go," Meta Knight said, with a quick flick of his tail. The other knights followed, wondering what was in store.
CAMP
Cherrypaw was awakened by Molepaw, as he was poking her with his tail. "Wake up," he said. "We'll be late for our assessment." With that she woke up. She looked around, but the new cats were nowhere to be found. Cherrypaw shrugged it off, and left the den.
FOREST
The knights were practicing hunting, because Meta Knight was told by Cherrypaw they would need to know how to hunt to be clan cats. So far, Blade had caught a mouse, Sword a vole, and Meta Knight a thrush. They were getting the hang of it, and by the end, they had caught three mice, two voles, and a thrush. Pretty good for first-timers. They went back to camp, and the moment they returned, the others (as in Kirby's world) were running over to the knights. Cherrypaw had to resist herself from doing it. She was starting to fall for the new masked cat. She needed to learn his name. He was probably the only cat she would ever like. Foxleap called her over to the entrance to the camp for the assessment to begin.
Cherrypaw's assessment was great. She knew she passed, and so did Molepaw. The only thing that she was still wondering was if the new masked cat was okay. She hoped he was.
The Kirby crew's assessment also went well. Mety, Sword, Blade, and Tuff were good at it. Tiff didn't want to, and Dedede failed due to his fatness.
The ceremony was called.
"I, Bramblestar, leader of Thunderclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to learn the ways of your noble code and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do," Cherrypaw said.
"Then by the power of Starclan, I give you your warrior name. Cherrypaw, from this moment on, you will be know as Cherryheart. Starclan honors you courage and speed and we welcome you as a full warrior of Thunderclan." Bramblestar said. He did the same with Molepaw, who became Molefoot.
"I also have another duty to preform. The official welcoming of our new clanmates," Bramblestar continued. "They may have only come to camp yesterday, but they have proven what it takes to be a warrior. Those of you who were tested, come up here." Meta Knight, Sword, Blade, Tuff, Tiff, and Dedede did what they were told. "Please, tell us your names," Bramblestar meowed.
Meta Knight started. "I am Meta Knight, but please, call me Meta," he said.
"We're Sword and Blade," the two said.
"Tuff," Tuff said
"Tiff," she said.
"I'm King Dedede. You all gotta listen to me now!" Dedede said, which brought up yowls of protest.
"We don't listen to you!" Dustpelt exclaimed. "Only Bramblestar can do that!"
"Yeah!" Sandstorm put in.
"You aren't the boss around here, dude!" Lionblaze meowed. He tried leaping up at Dedede, but Cinderheart held him back.
Jayfeather twitched. Dewpaw, Amberpaw, and Snowpaw saw this, and scampered away. "SHUT UP!" he screamed, almost exploding like a bomb. He told the apprentices what to do if there was an argument and he twitched, so that they wouldn't lose their hearing. All of the cats looked over at Jayfeather. "Dedede, you need to step in to line if you want to stay here. Bramblestar is in charge here, so SHUT UP." Jayfeather meowed. Dedede stopped.
"Even though we weren't tested, We're Fololo and Falala," the two fliers said.
"Kirby," Kirby said.
"Well, now that we know your names, we need to preform a ceremony so at the Gathering, the other Clans won't find your names weird," Bramblestar explained.
Before he could begin, Meta said, "I would like to have the first part of my name be Meta," he said.
After the Ceremony, Meta Knight became Metaclaw, Sword to Swifttail, Blade to Clawstrike, Tuff to Sunpaw(with his mentor being Foxleap), Tiff to Daffodilpaw(the medicine cat apprentice, much to Jayfeather's annoyance("I don't need an apprentice!")), Dedede to Bluebelly, Fololo to Oceankit, Falala to Rosekit, and Kirby to Foxkit.
Metaclaw was heading to his vigil post along with Swifttail, Clawstrike, and Bluebelly. Sadly, Bluebelly didn't understand that you had to be quiet during the vigil. So while he was goofing off, the three knights were doing their job. This was going to be a long night.
I'm going to do a list so you can keep track of who's who.
Meta Knight – Metaclaw
Sword – Swifttail
Blade – Clawstrike
Tuff – Sunpaw
Tiff – Daffodilpaw
Dedede – Bluebelly
Fololo – Oceankit
Falala – Rosekit
Kirby – Foxkit
We'll have some new people to add next chapter. Not telling who yet. If you can guess it correctly, a virtual cat plushie of your favorite character.
