"Like Whitestar? She came from a lightning prophecy." Onestar blurted out. He slapped his tail over his mouth right afterwards. "Sorry." He mewed, muffled by his tail.
"It's alright! In fact, that was perfect!" Sonic exclaimed. "Whitestar, c'mere!" She came, and Sonic saw a glint of a lightning bolt on her neck. He asked the gray leader to turn around, and he ended up seeing a yellow symbol.
"See? Whitestar has her own symbol of power. That might be what's on your legs!" Sonic said.
"We should test them out! This is probably what Tails meant by them representing us." Amy chimed in.
Turning to Graystripe, Tails said," Alright. Think of anything that floats or flies. Birds, leaves in the wind." The gray warrior closed his eyes and thought of a blue jay soaring across the sky. Then, strange things started to happen. Graystripe's paws left the ground! He was floating!
"Uh, G-Graystripe?!" Firestar stuttered.
"Yeah?" He opened one eye, then snapped open both. He yowled in shock. I'm not on the ground! What happened?! "Sonic, what is going on?" Mistystar demanded.
"Well, apparently, Graystripe is representing Tails, because he's is the only one that can fly like that." Sonic responded.
Then he turned to Firestar. "Think of anything that is really fast." He told him. The fire pelted leader closed his eyes and thought of a cheetah running swiftly. The blue lightning bolt started to glow.
"Hey! Look at his symbol!" Jayfeather's yowl snapped Firestar out of his thoughts to look at his leg.
"Try running around a bit." Knuckles added. Firestar did as told, and instead of running at a speed everyone and cat could see him, he was gone in the blink of an eye; nothing but an orange blur. He came back in a second, and was completely shocked of what he had done.
"D-did I just…" Firestar's voice trailed off in shock.
"Yep. You did." Graystripe murmured. He and Sandstorm were shocked, as well.
"In that case, you're representing me." Sonic added.
"How do you know?" Firestar asked.
"Just watch." In a nanosecond, he was gone and back again.
"Whoa. Where did you even go?" Sandstorm wondered.
"Around the forest and back." The blue blur responded. Whitestar's jaws dropped open at that comment.
"How can you go all that way and come back like you never even left?" Fuzzytalon asked.
"I was born with the speed." Sonic responded. "That's how I got my name."
"Huh. Now, that makes sense." Brambleclaw figured. "But, what about Sandstorm? We don't know her power yet." As he said that, the light ginger warrior started to pad away.
"What are you meowing about? A she-cat? Having a prophecy-given power?" Blackstar scoffed. "No way. Especially not her. She's crazy." The whole group gasped at the leader.
"You shouldn't have said that." Tails murmured.
Sandstorm turned around slowly and shot a hard glare at the ShadowClan leader.
"Call me crazy….one more time." She threatened. Her pink symbol was glowing red.
Accepting the challenge, he said, "Mousebrain."
Sharping her look, she said, "Alright. You asked for it." She bolted to Blackstar, and before he could react, kicked him in the gut high in the air. She leapt up and scratched his hind leg, tore off the corner on his right ear, and, the most painful of all, pounded him down on the back. He landed on the ground so fast and hard that he caused a huge dust cloud. By the time it cleared, Blackstar was quietly moaning in pain on his side. Fuzzytalon helped him back up, and Sandstorm fell to the ground softly on her paws. When Blackstar's vision cleared, he saw Sandstorm and jumped backwards.
"What's the matter? You scared of a ThunderClan warrior?" Firestar teased.
"N-n-no…." Blackstar replied nervously.
"Come on, Blackstar. You know you're scared of her." Lionblaze laughed. "You jumped back like a kit!"
"Did not!" Blackstar protested.
"Blackstar. I may be blind, but even I know you're afraid of her." Jayfeather snickered. "I heard your yowl."
"Okay, maybe she did frighten me a little bit." Blackstar admitted. "But I'm not scared anymore!"
"Then come down from the Highrock and face me." Sandstorm challenged.
"Uh…I want to keep the rest of my lives." Blackstar shied away.
"Well, looks like she's representing Amy." Tails chimed in. "And, Blackstar, I told you teasing her was a bad idea."
"Aw, shut up!" Blackstar yowled.
"But, what about me?" Knuckles wondered. "None of you three have my power."
"You're right." Firestar agreed.
"Wait. If I'm representing Tails, Sandstorm's representing Amy, and Firestar's representing Sonic, then there's only one cat left." Graystripe figured.
"Ravenpaw!" The three cats said in sync.
"Where does he live?" Sonic asked.
"He lives in a barn." Firestar answered. "C'mon, I'll show you!"
The seven friends zoomed away, two flying, two speeding, and the others three clinging on to the speeders.
Finally, they arrived at a barn that had some blackened wood on its roof, and holes all over.
"This is the farm, right?" Tails panted. "We've been traveling for hours."
"I'm sure. This is the right one." Firestar finalized.
"Alright, but if we have to leave again, I will personally kill you." Sonic threatened. Firestar backed down a little bit.
"Listen, he didn't mean that." Amy whispered into the cat's ear. "He can be a little short-tempered every now and then." Settled down, the fire pelted leader led the way into the barn, where he saw his two friends, Ravenpaw and Barley.
"Ravenpaw! Barley!" Graystripe called out. Two cats, one black and white, and one mostly black with a white tail tip and diamond on chest came down from the top of the hay bales to greet their friends.
"Hey, guys! Who's the other four here?" Ravenpaw meowed.
"The blue hedgehog is Sonic, the orange fox is Tails, the red echidna is Knuckles, and the pink hedgehog is Amy." Sandstorm introduced.
"Fox?! How are you guys okay with a fox being there?" Barley yowled.
"Don't worry, he told us he's a friend." Graystripe assured.
"He talked to you?!" Ravenpaw screeched. It was so loud that it slammed into Sonic's sharp ears.
"Ouch." Sonic complained.
"Sorry."
"Okay, not the point." Amy interrupted. "Barley, did you ever see a red lightning bolt from the sky tonight?"
"Oh yeah! I do remember seeing that!" Barley broke from the last subject. "And it hit Ravenpaw!"
"Yeah. I was left with this red thing on my hind leg." Ravenpaw added, showing them the symbol on his right leg. His was shaped like a horn on a bull's head.
"Yep. He's part of the prophecy." Sonic finalized.
"Me? Part of a prophecy?" Ravenpaw gasped. "No way. I'm not worthy!"
"You may be." Tails answered. "Try picking up something heavy. What's something in here that's really heavy?"
"Um, what about the hay bales?" Barley offered.
"Perfect! Thank you, Barley." Amy accepted. "Now, Ravenpaw, go pick it up."
"Um, how am I supposed to do that?" Ravenpaw asked.
"With your forepaws. And standing on your hind legs."
"Like a Twoleg? Are you mousebrained?!"
"C'mon, Raven. You gotta at least try!"
"Oh, alright. I'll do it." Ravenpaw finally gave in and padded behind a hay bale to pick it up.
"Seriously? A scrawny little kitten like that?" Knuckles scoffed. "There's no way he can-"
He stopped in his tracks to see the little black cat carrying three hay bales-when he was only supposed to carry one!
"How are you doing that?" Graystripe wondered.
"I have no idea." Ravenpaw responded. "But it so AWESOME!"
"Ouch!" Sonic complained again. "Please stop screaming like that!"
"Sorry!"
"How do you even hear so well, anyway?" Barley wondered.
"Uh…." Sonic replied nervously. "T-that's classified."
"C'mon! You can tell us!" Barley pressed.
"I AM NOT TELLING YOU." Sonic growled. His wolf instincts accidentally glitched on him, and his eyes turned yellow.
"What happened to your eyes?" Sandstorm asked. "They were green just a minute ago."
Oh, crap! Sonic looked at the five cats nervously as their eyes pressed onto his.
"Moving on!" Thankfully, Amy had snapped the cats back to the subject of the prophecy, just long enough for his eyes to return green.
"Hey, guys!" Knuckles broke in. "Look at this note I found."
"It's from Dr. Eggman!" Tails added.
"Who?" The five cats asked in sync.
"We'll tell you later." Sonic said quickly before letting Tails read the note.
'Dear despicable little animals,
Well, hello my enemies! So, I see you've met the four cats that are going to help you. I'm going to have some helpers as well. They're the enemies of the warrior cats and StarClan.'
"The enemies of StarClan?" Graystripe interrupted. "That's the Dark Forest cats! They're the ones helping him!" When Graystripe stopped talking, the twin tailed fox continued.
'Yes, the Dark Forest. We have a little plan going that you will never be able to beat! Just wait. Soon, I will take over!
Sincerely, Dr. Eggman'
"He thinks he's gonna take over?" Sonic scoffed. "Not if I can help it!"
"But, he might!" Firestar warned. "I've seen what the Dark Forest cats are like. If Tigerstar's on the team, we may not have hope!"
Sonic just stared at him puzzled. Thinking for a moment, he said, "Is this Tigerstar a brown tabby with scars on his right shoulder and muzzle?"
"Yes!" Ravenpaw answered. "How did you know that?"
"Uh, let's just say that there is a tree covered in blood and slowly dying." Tails jumped in.
"Hey, was any cat talking to you, fox?" Barley sneered.
"Don't be rude, Barley." Ravenpaw snarled. "He just wanted to answer my question for Sonic."
"Oh. Whoops."
"In other words, we should get going." Amy added.
"We can't leave yet!" Sandstorm yowled.
"Why not?"
"Firestar has to put someone in charge while he's gone!"
"That's right!" Firestar remembered. "I'll be right back."
"We're coming, too!" Ravenpaw yowled after him before dashing off. The three other cats with Knuckles and Amy following; Sonic and Tails were finally alone."
"Sonic, how come you haven't transformed yet?" Tails asked. "It is a full moon night."
"I don't know, luck, I guess?" The blue blur replied.
"Whatever." Tails scoffed. "Well, we should at least tell the cats, right?"
Sonic's head shot up at that comment so fast it scared the twin-tailed fox.
"No! Whatever happens, do not tell them!" Sonic demanded.
"Why not?"
"One, they aren't used to trusting a fox. Two, if anyone will tell them, it will be me."
"You do make a good point. Alright, my lips are sealed."
"Good."
That was settled just as the seven came back.
"Now that's taken care of, where are we going?" Barley asked.
"To our place." Knuckles replied.
"Where do you guys live?"
"If we could just go, we'll show you."
"Then, let's go!"
The friends all found some way of transportation and speeded of flew off and stopped at a house.
"You guys live with Twolegs?" Firestar gasped. "How do you deal with them?"
"We don't. We live with all of our friends." Amy replied.
"So, no Twolegs?"
Warriors belong to Erin Hunter.
Sonic the hedgehog belongs to SEGA.
