Tortoise made this chapter twice as long as the others cause there is a big fight. Tortoise feels kinda sad for Snake and Ice, their fate is very unfortunate even in the real story line.
Tortoise doesn't own Warriors!
Bone padded up to the gathering of cats and took a seat near the back. Snipe sat down beside him, eyes traveling from cat to cat. Bone heard whispering break out among some of the BloodClan cats around him as they realized who he was, but Snake and Ice hadn't noticed him yet.
"As leaders of BloodClan," yowled Snake, bearing his teeth. "We will be overseeing all movement of cats into and out of BloodClan territory. Nothing goes on around here without our okay."
"Also, we will be expecting tributes of food or bone daily," added Ice, his gaze skimming over the gathered cats, missing Bone completely.
Bone rolled his eyes. These two cats were complete idiots. Why would any cats follow them?
"All cats will obey our command without question," growled Snake, tail twitching as more whispers broke out among the cats, their eyes darting to Bone. "Any cat caught disobeying our orders- What are you all whispering about?"
Bone grinned and stood up. "I was waiting for the part where you say you aren't really the leaders of BloodClan."
He heard some cats gasp, recognizing his massive figure, and they stepped back to let him pass. He padded forward, eyeing the two toms standing on the raised platform in front of him, his dog teeth claws tapping on the ground. "Who wants to see what a real leader of BloodClan can do?"
"You!" Snake watched him with pure loathing. "I thought we banished you from our new BloodClan. You must have a serious death wish for coming back here."
Ice growled, his teeth sticking up over his lips. "BloodClan! Attack this traitor! Kill him now!"
A few cats made to attack the old deputy of BloodClan, but Bone raised his tail commandingly. Snipe padded next to him, bearing his teeth at any cat that got close.
"You don't have the right to command these cats," Bone mocked, gesturing to the cats around them. "Not while the deputy of BloodClan is still alive. I remember allowing you two to join Scourge's BloodClan. Hoot and Jumper were your names, if I remember correctly. Come and face me if you think you are still worthy of the new names I gave you!"
Snake and Ice looked uneasily at each other. They huddled together for a moment, talking quickly, then turned back to him. "We accept your challenge. It's two on one, right?"
Bone purred, amused. He narrowed his eyes at the two of them, sizing them up. Combined, they outweighed him, but not by much "If you want it to be that way, sure. True BloodClan cats don't play fair."
The two black and white cats yowled in fury and leapt at him simultaneously, their tiny claws glinting in the light.
Bone leapt to the side and lashed his reinforced talons at the side of Ice's head. They sank so deep, he could see the cat's teeth through his cheek.
Ice yowled in pain, blood pouring from the gash Bone had wrought. He put his paw to his face, trying to stop the flow as it spilled onto the street, staining it red.
Snake glanced at his injured brother, and his eyes filled with rage. He lunged at Bone, paws flailing wildly, but the bigger cat simply swatted him aside.
"Is this the best the leaders of BloodClan can muster?" Bone roared, tail lashing from side to side. "I'm disappointed!"
Snake got angrily to his paws and Ice glared at him menacingly, his paw dark with his own blood. "You will pay for messing with us."
Bone didn't so much as blink at the threat. He could feel his blood turning to ice, lending strength and speed to his paws. No cat could deny him his leadership. Especially not these fools.
The two smaller cats leapt at him again and he was surprised by their strength. They knocked him off his paws and felt their claws pummel his belly. He rolled over, feeling blood oozing into his fur, and hooked Snake in his claws.
Snake lunged at his throat with his white teeth, and Bone shifted so his spiked collar was shoved into the tom's face. The black and white cat shrieked in pain and Bone flung him to the ground.
He could feel his wound in his belly slowing him down and didn't get out of the way fast enough to dodge Ice's attack. The other brother swiped at his nose and he felt blood well up beneath his eye. He lowered his head and charged forward, sending the smaller cat flying.
The two traitors got to their paws and padded towards him again. "Are we moving too fast for you, old cat?" snarled Snake, his pelt bloodied.
Bone just growled. The two cats leapt at him again, but this time he met them head on. Strike after powerful strike, he clobbered them until his paws were a blur and all they could do was protect their faces with their paws. He towered over them, their blood warm on his face. They were bloodied and broken, their backs pressed against the wall of the alley.
"Stop!" howled Ice, cowering against Bone's vicious onslaught. "We surrender!"
Bone backed away, his thirst for their blood not quite quenched, but he restrained himself. "Get out of my BloodClan, Hoot and Jumper. If any of my cats spot you in this territory again, I will hunt you down myself!"
He spat at them as they limped away down the alley, heads lowered in defeat. The other cats parted to let them pass.
Snipe padded over to him and bowed his head to the bloodied cat. "All hail Bone, leader of BloodClan!"
"Bone! Bone! Bone!"
Bone purred, eyeing the cats around him. Every cat that lived in the housefolk place would soon be his to command.
It felt good to be king.
