Inuyasha, Kagome, a happy pregnant Rin, Shesshomaru, Kagura, Miroku, Sango, Koga, Ayame, and Kirara talked about their conundrum. (Clever word! Derp!)
Everyone is still wondering why Inuyasha was smiling. Even Shesshomaru, Lord Shesshomaru, was puzzled at this, except for Sango who only had a clue.
"So what do you guys remember about our lives so far as turning into cats?" Kagome abruptly asked as Firestar asked the other leaders something.
With Firestar (many many moons later when Jayfeather received the Dark Forest prophecy, at least 3 moons after that)
"You know the prophecy right?" Firestar whispers urgently.
"Yes." The rest of the leaders coursed.
"Where the others know about the others and from what I hear from them... I think we should move to one territory and be one Clan with the four of us as leaders of our division, Blackheart and Silverheart could also help. I would be like the training division. Blackstar you could be leader of the actual fighting division. Mistystar you could be blockquot the guard division. Onestar you could be leader of the patrols. ALL patrols including battle patrols. Purplepaw, who is about to get his warrior name, could organize the parties and be your deputy for a short while. Whitepaw, who is about to get her warrior name, could be deputy of Blackstar. Tidepaw, who will soon have her warrior name, could help you, could be deputy of you Mistystar. Blackheart, Silverheart, Windfeather(Kagura), Coldheart, Waterpool(Rin), Whitefur(Ayame), Darktail(Koga) could help be coleaders." Firestar finishes.
The leaders look at each other. Back to Firestar. Then back again to the other leaders.
"ShadowClan will do it." Blackstar speaks for ShadowClan.
"RiverClan will do it." Mistystar does the same.
"WindClan will do it." Onestar finishes.
Firestar looks at this with a new beginning with a other leaders were skeptical at first but the more they thought about...the better they felt with doing this. They feel exhilarated about the prospect of defeating their enemies.
"This could work." Blackstar whispers astonished.
"Let's have a Gathering now. Go back to your Clans and tell everyone to come including kits. Kits have to learn to protect themselves." Firestar said with renewed strength.
"Right." All the leaders chorus once again.
Everyone's view
"Everyone gets to go to the Gathering tonight!" Firestar mews from HighLedge.
"A Gathering before full moon!" Foxleap yowls shocked.
"Yes. It's very important." Firestar carefully avoids why though,"but we have a announcement. We have 4 apprentices to become warriors!"
"Yeah!" The crowd of cats yowl.
Skip most of ceremony
"Purplepaw, Tidepaw, Redpaw, and Whitepaw. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and become warriors?"
"Yes." They said in a unified voice.
"Then by the power of StarClan I condemn them to you.(Im doing this by what I remember and I skipped most of the words! Sorry too much typing!) Purplepaw you shall now be known as Purplewave. Your Calmness in situations and your skillfulness in training has proven you worthy. Tidepaw you shall now be known as Tidewing. Your skill in battle and your strategies have proven your worthy. Redpaw you shall now be known as Redtail in honor of Bluestar's deputy Redtail for you are just like him I hear. Your swiftness and bravery in situations have proven you worthy. Lastly, Whitepaw you shall be now know as Whiteflame. Your encouragement and your worthiness shows how loyal you are." Firestar finally finishes breathless.
"Purplewave!
Tidewing!
Redtail!
Whiteflame!"
The crowd yowled their new warriors. Inuyasha and Kagome the first to yell their names.
"Now EVERYONE get ready for the Gathering." Firestar stresses the word everyone.
Every cat started getting ready when Icecloud, Lionblaze, Ivypool, and Birchfall, border patrol lead by Birchfall, came in with two rouges.
"What's going on?" Lionblaze asked.
"Every cat is going to a Gathering." Some cat answered.
"O…k…" Lionblaze just accepted the answer,"where is Firestar?"
"He is at Warrior's Den." The cat, Lionblaze now came up with is Redpaw.
"Thanks Redpaw."
"It's Redtail now!" Shippo exclaimed excited.
"Nice name. Did Firestar have a short look of sadness when he mentioned your warrior name?"
"Yes."
"Firestar met Redtail when he got his nine lives. He helped discover his murder, Tigerstar."
"Wow…."(Weird randomness with the original Redtail history but for those who had no idea about him I gave no spoilers about it because the first book of Warriors gives it away because (NO SPOILERS HERE FIND OUT YOURSELF))
"So Firestar is at the Warrior's Den?" Lionblaze asked again.
"Yeah."
"Thanks."
Lionblaze leaves the two rouges, the smaller rouge was a small, cute, spotted dabble she-cat with light golden, light brown, white, and gray, eye color was light blue, and the larger one was a large,black she-cat with spots of red in her fur, eye color was a pretty amber color, at the center of Camp with Birchfall, Ivypool. and Hollyleaf guarding them. Lionblaze notes that they are both female.
Lionblaze weaves between the preparing cats as he makes his way to Firestar.
"Firestar." Lionblaze said starting the report of the borders.
"We ran into some rouges hunting in our territory, not very good at it though, we caught them at the twoleg border."
"Bring them to HighLedge." Firestar demanded without a second thought.
Birchfall and the others brought the two prisoners to HighLedge. They looked brave with their heads held high, they were brave. Firestar jumped on HighLedge and looked straight at them with…kindness?
"What business do you have here?" Firestar demanded.
"We want to join your Clan." The smaller of the two, cutelittleears, bravely spoke
"You do? Why?"
"We want to be strong and brave, more importantly, learn to defend and fight." This time the bigger one, Danarose31382, answers.
"Fine." Firestar kindly said."we shall give you your apprentice names."
"When?"
"Now."
Skip most of ceremony.
"Do you promise to uphold the Warrior Code even with the cost of your life?" Firestar breathlessly asked.
"Yes." Cutelittleears replies.
"You shall be known as Cutepaw until you earn your Warrior name. Your mentor shall be Blackheart. I hope she passes on all she knows to you. Blackheart, your mentor was Brambleclaw. I hope you pass on to Cutepaw what he passed down to you." Firestar finishs her part."Now Dana. Do you promise to uphold the Warrior Code even with the cost of your life?"
"Yes."
"You shall be known as Danapaw until you earn your Warrior name. Silverheart, you will mentor Danapaw. I hope he passes down what he knows to you. Silverheart, I was your mentor and I hope you pass down what I taught you down to her." Firestar's plan was to use these new apprentices to get the two together.
'Firestar….' A StarClan voice called.
'Yes Spottedleaf?' Firestar questioned.
'Danapaw and Cutepaw are one of the many allies you will get… heres a prophecy for the allies of the battle…
Black Red and Dabble will join…
Black and White will return…
Gold and Silver will return…
Along with Blue and Spotted…
All these will be found at Twilight(Check reference for the…5th book in Warriors New Prophecy?)
Remember these and Dark Forest will fear…' Spottedleaf's voiced faded.
'Black Red and Dabble has already joined but I have a feeling that the others will be from StarClan.' Firestar predicted.
"Start getting ready for the Gathering! EVERYONE!" Brambleclaw reminded.
Everyone started getting ready for the Gathering again and were at the entrance waiting for Firestar.
-While everyone was getting ready -(Baer with me! Baertaffy gets credit for that! NO CLAIM TO ANYTHING! Even Baer jokes!)
"Ok! Lets go." Firestar excitedly mewed.
As they pad out the tunnel everyone breaks of into groups and converse.
"I have heard gossip from some cat at the last Gathering that there are two prophecies…" Whitewing mummers.
"What about?" Ivypool, who spies for Firestar, Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Dovewing, tries to keep her voice steady for she already knows.
"Something about a Dark Forest and a bunch of random colors." Whitewing continues," thats all I heard."
"Wow…sounds like someone ate some catnip." Ivypool tries to make her mother stray of the subject so they don't have to discuss it, she is afraid that her mother would find out there really is two prophecies.
"I guess you're right." Whitewing finally meows after a moment of silence.
As they talk Birchfall, Dovewing, Spiderleg, and Leafpool have a small tiff.
"All I'm saying is that Silverheart doesn't need Blackheart!" Spiderleg starts.
"Why?" Dovewing asks.
"Because….they are two different types of cats,people, demons, what ever they are!" He blushes.
"OH MY STARCLAN!" Leafpool exclaims.
"What?" Birchfall finally gets a word in.
"Your in love with Silverheart!" Leafpool gasps.
"YOUR GAY!" Dovewing and Birchfall exclaim.
"NO!" Spiderleg yowls at them.
"Good." Leafpool breaths a sigh of relief," Daisy would be angry if you were in love with Blackheart."
"No, I'm not. I just think that the two argue a lot."
"I agree but Blackheart came to me and told me that they are in love but are fighting their feelings because Silverheart believes that he is a worthless half-breed, while Blackheart still believes that he loves someone else." Dovewing puts in, she heard them talking to Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight that day and decided not to converse about how she knows this using her 'Power'.
Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Dovewing, along with Hollyleaf who has experience with different styles of fighting and that she can never break the Warrior Code, they are the Three. Jayfeather can see memories, and look into cats dreams to see their secrets, he is also blind hindering him Medicine Cat. Lionblaze cannot have his flesh pierced but Blackheart proved that Lionblaze can apparently chose his own destiny. Dovewing can hear and smell things far away, and sometimes get a glimpse of what she's smelling and/or hearing. Lastly, Hollyleaf who isn't part of the Three but a valuable helper, helps with info and fighting styles.
As they talked Firestar, Sandstorm, Brambleclaw, Graystripe, and Squirrelflight have a small chat enjoying themselves.
"Hey Sandstorm. Remember when Graystripe and I had to be apprentices for a moon because we decided to help RiverClan catch prey?" Firestar brings up.
"I remember that!" Graystripe smiles."we had our Warrior names."
"Yeah. You threatened to put another nick in Longtails ear. He got so scared for a second!" Sandstorm adds laughing.
"Remember when Squirrelflight tried to show her a hunting crouch because she added for help then went hunting?" Brambleclaw chuckles at the memory.
"She did go! At first..." Squirrelflight interjects.
As they talked about memories, Inuyasha and the others talked.
"Inuyasha?" Blackheart, who is Kagome, asks.
"Yeah?" Silverheart, who is Inuyasha, relies.
"Remember when Renkoustu attacked us?"
"How can I forget?" Inuyasha shutters.
"Wait. What happened? We were never told what happened while we were at Mount Hakurai." Sango curiously wonders.
"Yes. You neglected to tell us." Miroku backs her up.
Inuyasha and Kagome tell them what happened as they listen intently about how Koga got injured, how Renkoustu died to incinerated them, how Inuyasha almost died, and left out the hug.
As they finished the story about what happened they made it to the tree that is the bridge that goes to the Island. One by one, Kits, Queens, Warriors, Apprentices, Elders, Medicine Cat, Deputy, and Leader all climb on the tree leading to the Island. WindClan and RiverClan were already there. They got on the Island and found good spots to sit while waiting for ShadowClan.
"Where is ShadowClan?" Crowfeather, was sitting beside another new ThunderClan warrior, complains to Spottednose.
Spottednose is a light yellow she-cat with brown spots, has one black ear, one brown, and has green eyes. She is very funny and crushes on lionblaze.
Doesn't have a mate or kits yet, her sibling is Whitewing. Her mother is Brightheart and her father is Cloudtail. She is just like her father.
"They are probably arguing with Blackstar since ShadowClan doesn't help anyone 9 1/2 out of 10." Spottednose retorted.
"I guess your right." Crowfeather sighs.
"ShadowClan is here!" Some cat yowled.
ShadowClan padded through the grass as Blackstar jumped up on the tree. Firestar, Mistystar, Onestar, and Blackstar were on the same branch.
"Let this Gathering start!" Onestar yowled.
The leaders share a quick look deciding who should bring the plan up.
"We, all the leaders, have come up with a plan to protect our Clans from an approaching evil!" Blackstar decides to start out albeit nervously as the crescent moon remains clear.
"We have decided to..." Mistystar couldn't continue after what Blackstar started.
"Become..." Even Firestar was nervous.
"We have decided to become one Clan with..." Onestar gets the first part over with.
"Each leader will have a division. We will choose a deputy to help with us. The original deputy gets to watch over the Clan and set up patrols while we leaders do our division work.".Blackstar continues.
"Blackstar will have the actual fighting division,claws sheathed off course,he will choose a deputy to help him." Firestar confidently puts in.
"I choose this deputy over the spirit of Shadowstar,since no deputy has died or retired, I choose Coldheart!" Blackstar yowls.
"This Shesshomaru accepts." He coolly mewed.
"Onestar will be leader of the patrol division. He will take care of ALL patrols including battle patrols." Mistystar meows."he will also choose a deputy."
"I choose this deputy over the spirit of Windstar! I choose Blackheart!" Onestar mewed.
"Firestar will lead the training division. He will train everyone in techniques that involve everyone's skills. He will also choose a deputy." Onestar helpfully meowed.
"I choose this deputy over the spirit of Thunderstar. I choose Silverheart." Firestar calmly said.
"Mistystar will be leader of the guard division. She will work defensive moves and do border patrols. She will choose a deputy also." Firestar purrs seeing their plan work.
"I choose this deputy over the spirit of Riverstar. I choose Purplewave." Mistystar calmly spoke.
The clearing was silent. They couldn't believe that their leaders were considering this!
"We shall call this one Clan... InuClan!" Some random Inuyasha fangirl
"No!" That all shout.
"I declare we call this Clan WildClan!" Blackstar declared.
"No. We need something more meaningful." Firestar thoughtfully said.
"How about HalfClan?" Retail, Shippo put in.
"No." Crowfeather automatically meowed.
"Hmmmm..." Silverheart and Blackheart thought at the same time. Both suppressing a smile.
"How about ShardClan? It's after the Sacred Jewel. The Sacred Jewel ifs powerful so we be named after a shard of it since a shard can increase your power by...let's say a lot." They mewat once again, but this time that both smiled.
The leaders glance at them then turn their backs to the clearing and talk about it.
With Firestar and the leaders
"ShardClan...has a nice ring." Mistystar meowed musing.
"If it makes us sound strong then let's use it." Blackstar mewed overjoyed by the name.
"It is decided." Firestar and Onestar say at exactly the same time.
Everyone's view
Twilight is coming quick. Firestar is getting worried about the other colors.
'Will Black and White come to ThunderClan?' Firestar wondered fretting.
Mysterious cats view
A loud yawn woke a small black cat with one white paw. He liked over at his larger white blue eyed,he has blue eyes to,friend.
"Hey wake up." The black cat looked the large white one.
"Yeah. Yeah." The white one replied.
"We are on ThunderClan territory." The black cat smiled.
"We are!?" The white one was wide eyed.
"Yes Whitestorm. We are."
Whitestorm's jaw dropped as he thought about his friends still living. The young ones.
"Let's go to the camp." Whitestorm calmly meowed. His personality never changed.
They head off to the camp by scent. As they did so they bumped into Sorreltail, Silverheart, Blackheart, Purplewave, Tidewing, Retail, Waterpool, Windfeather, Coldheart, Darktail, and Whitefur and Whiteflame. Along with Birchfall, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, Brakenfur, Graystripe, Cinderheart, Brambleclaw and Firestar leading the way laughing.
Tears came to Whitestorm's eyes. He stopped right in front of them and waited for recognition.
Firestar was the first," Whitestorm?" His eyes wide as ever.
"I have been sent from StarClan until I die at anytime for the prophecy." Whitestorm gulped,"someone wants to meet you."
"Who is it?" Firestar curiously tilted his head.
"Your half brother."
W..wh...WHAT!?" Firestar screeches.
The black cat steps out from some trees and took a deep breath.
"Hi Firestar." The black cat slightly falters.
"Scourge!?" Firestar screeches again.
