Tigerstar's point of view (flashback)
Tigerstar was attacking Firestar full of rage and was surprised when Firestar had enough energy to kill him. But Tigerstar wanted to see Firestar die. When he faded he was still there and saw the lighting hit the tree and burst into flames. Tigerstar knew this marked the end of his enemy's life. He saw Firestar fall and turned away.
The next thing he knew he was standing in the clearing with a strange rock but he wasn't alone. All of the Dark Forest cats and Starclan cats that had died a third time were also there, but Tigerstar's gaze was focused on the stone lying in front of all of them. Everyone there seemed to know exactly what to do, they touched their noses to the stone and disappeared along with the stone.
After some serious thought Tigerstar thought of exactly the space in time he wanted to travel back to. In his mind he knew that none of what was going to happen in his world was going to alter the time line, but he wanted revenge on the cat he hated most. Although he also knew this wasn't his real enemy it was just an exact replica of him to fit his world.
Tigerstar touched his nose to the stone and disappeared from the clearing. He was going to change things and make everything the way he had wanted it to be. He was traveling through a blue vortex and landed in the forest he knew so well. He looked around and saw his rogues teaming up with him. He was going to change his history and his destiny.
Tigerclaw knew the first thing he needed to do was kill Bluestar. He knew that she would be in her den, but he needed Fireheart out of the way so he wouldn't thwart his plans again. And in this alternate reality he would make it happen.
"I need to take care of something. Stay here and wait until I give the signal." Tigerclaw said and ran to the camp.
He saw Fireheart getting up and called him over for a patrol. This time Fireheart wouldn't stop him from killing Bluestar this time things would be different. When Fireheart left Tigerclaw gave the signal to attack. The rogues jumped out of the bushes and into the unsuspecting Clan. Tigerclaw watched his rogues and was delighted that his cats were doing a good job at attacking the Clan. What Tigerclaw really wanted was to get Bluestar out of the way after that heh would take her place.
When he made sure no one was looking he snuck into Bluestar's den. Her scent bathed the walls. Now would be his chance.
"Tigerclaw, what are you doing? What's going on over there? If there's trouble then I must help my Clanmates." Bluestar said.
"You're not going anywhere, Bluestar," Tigerclaw said menacingly, "I've been waiting a long time for this." He lunged at Bluestar's neck and clawed her pelt with his sharp claws. He heard Bluestar's neck crack and tossed her aside with blood gushing out of her throat. Her eyes glazed over. Tigerclaw stood over her, his eyes twinkling in achievement. Now all he had to do was get rid of Fireheart. He had to have patience though. He wouldn't kill Fireheart yet.
Not until he doesn't follow a direct order. Knowing Fireheart that should be soon, he thought.
Maybe Bluestar went easy on him, but Tigerclaw was sure he would not be so gracious. He walked out of the den and yowled. He told the Clan that the rogues they were fighting would become their Clanmates and that they should treat them with respect. He also told the Clan that Bluestar was dead. He was satisfied with their were shocked gasps from the crowd. He didn't tell his Clanmates the truth though.
He also announced that Fireheart was the new deputy, but found out that Fireheart was missing. He promised the Clan that he would be back soon and not to worry.
He was right soon the Clan was crowded near the fern tunnel. Tigerclaw stepped up to Fireheart and said, "Congratulations, new Clan deputy." He narrowed his eyes turned away thinking, You'd better enjoy it while it lasts.
Later, Boulder, a cat Tigerclaw had met at the Twolegplace, came in to talk with him.
Boulder walked up to where Tigerclaw was sitting. Tigerclaw quickly got up and narrowed his eyes. "What do you want, Boulder?"
"I want to ask you why you no longer want us to kill the flame colored warrior."
"Because, Boulder, I want that honor to myself. That time will come soon enough I'll make sure of it. His position is only temporary."
"One more question."
"Yes."
Boulder looked at his paws and shifted his weight a little.
"Well, spit it out! Don't just stand here like a nervous kit!"
"I was wondering if I could be deputy when Fireheart isn't."
"Listen, Boulder. I told you it's only temporary. As soon as he messes something up, I won't be as patience as Bluestar with it. He won't last long I'll make sure of that. And when I get my nine lives tomorrow there will be no mercy in this Clan for cats that do not follow the warrior code or follow orders. Anyone who steps up to me will be finished." Tigerclaw said his anger rising.
"I see. Well I will try my absolute hardest to be an example of what is to be expected around here."
His anger waning Tigerclaw said, "Good. Now I need my rest for the ceremony tomorrow. I'll be back in about two days."
Boulder backed out of the den and Tigerclaw watched him go. After making sure all was quiet Tigerclaw finally got some rest. He had a big day tomorrow, and he was detrimined to make the best of it.
