Me *is running with a bunch of cops behind me*: AHHHH! DON'T ARREST ME! PLEASE!

Flamemask: O_O What's going on?

Me: WHAT DO YOU THINK? THE DISCLAIMER COPS ARE AFTER ME! SAY IT! PLEASE!

Flamemask: Why me?

Me and Disclaimer Cops: SHUT UP AND SAY IT!

Flamemask: Fine. Blaze-Cloud owns nothing except the Elemental Clans and the plot. There. Happy now?

Me: *stops running and Disclaimer Cops leave* THANK YOU! *hugs* BTW: Yes, Starlight Warrior, there are two Foxstars. The Shadow Leader (good guy) and the Evil Leader (Foxheart).

Yugi-Warriors: The Power of Fire

Chapter 8- Soul-Cats are Never a Good Sign

(Flamestar)

"Hurry! We don't have much time!" Flamestar yowled. "We have to get one of them!" It was well past sunset by now, and Flamestar's group was streaking over the hills beyond Clan Territory. If they had bothered to look, the group would've seen Purestar's group coming from their left. Of course, Purestar's group didn't notice either: both groups were too intent on the trails. They almost crashed into each other at a clearing. Flamestar and Purestar exchanged panic-stricken looks. Foxheart and Bakura had already met. They were too late.

"Well, what the Firestar do we do now?" Darkleaf hissed. Flamestar couldn't blame him. None of them were having a good day-er,-night.

"Maybe get some sleep." She replied. Bluefire looked a bit nervous.

"I don't like the idea of staying here for the night. It's too out in the open for me."

"I'll have to agree with you Bluefire," Purestar said. "I have a bad feeling about being attacked here." That's because we are going to be attacked…I just can't tell you…Flamestar thought with dismay. She could mostly see what would happen exactly, but every gift comes with a price. She couldn't tell anyone (except Flamemask because they were technically one) or they would both forget what she had just said. It was better for at least one cat to know than for no one to know.

"I'll stand guard. No one would get past me." Foxstar said, pride laced in his voice. Despite her feelings about her gift, Flamestar smiled. Foxstar was one of the best at raising the others' spirits. She settled down on a make-shift nest of moss and fell asleep.

She woke up in her den at camp, but knew it was just a dream because Flamemask woke up beside her, in her own body.

"Flamestar, Flamemask, come out here." Her father's voice came from outside of the den. They both got up to their paws and slowly padded up to Firestar, side by side.

"Hello, father."

"Greetings Flamestar, Flamemask," He nodded to the gray-eyed warrior. "I must tell you something. Remember when I told you two that Flamemask is the reincarnation of an ancient warrior?" They both nodded. "Well, there were five warriors: Goldenflame, Sandfire, Riverheart, Brownfur, and Snowstorm." He then faded leaving them with Yugi, Joey, Tea, Tristan, and Ryou. Wait, what? Flamestar gaped.

"We are not who you think we are." It was Yugi who spoke, but the voice wasn't his. It wasn't Yami's either. Flamestar realized that Yugi wasn't wearing the Millennium Puzzle, his eyes were golden, and the Golden Flame wasn't on his chest. "I'm Goldeneyes."

"That's why…that's why Yugi looked so familiar…" Flamemask stuttered. Flamestar was shocked. Flamemask never stuttered. Never.

"Yes." The one who looked like Joey said. "I'm Sandfire. You know me as Joey. Riverheart is the one you know as Tea, Brownfur you know as Tristan, and Snowstorm you know as Ryou."

"How do you guys know each other…?" Flamestar asked in awe.

"That," Goldeneyes said. "Is a story for another night."

(Bluefire)

Bluefire just couldn't sleep. He knew Flamestar knew what was going to happen, and he guessed that it wouldn't be good by her dark look. It was impossible to sleep, with that knowledge in mind. "Hey, Bluefire." Someone said. Oh, hi Bluestreak. Where've you been? "Taking a long nap. Hey, your new friends have the blood of the Clans!" Really? What Clans are they from? "Well, Tea is from WaterClan, Joey is another FireClan cat, and Tristan is from EarthClan. And I'm sensing this corectly, I think little Ryou's from IceClan." Wow. "WAKE UP! WE'RE BEING ATTACKED!" He heard Foxstar's yowl and raced up to his friend's side. In front of them was a group of soul-cats as big as four clans.

"Oh, Firestar, help us all…" He muttered.

"Knew it…I just knew it…" Flamestar muttered beside him.

"Surprise!" Darkleaf hissed sarcastically. "Now what the Firestar do we do?"

"Nothing. It is hopeless, after all…" A white tom with black stripes and red eyes emerged from the crowd, followed by a jet black tom with red eyes and a dark gray tom with the same red eyes.

"Thistlescar!" Purestar hissed at the gray tom.

"Viper!" (1) Bluefire hissed, remembering the black tom.

"Longclaw! I should've known!" Flamestar hissed. "You want your revenge too, I suppose?"

"Nailed it." Longclaw replied.

"Surprise!" Flamestar hissed in that same sarcastic tone Darkleaf used. "Now, ATTACK!" She quickly aimed and shot a fire blast at the three in front of them, but they quickly dodged and the soul-cats surged forward to meet the Clan cats.

"Great! Just great!" Moonstar hissed as she tried to blind another cat. "There's just too many!"

"Let's see if they can survive this!" Bluefire rushed for Tea and Creekstar. "Concentrate! Don't ask, just do!" Then he whipped around and whispered to Skystar "Add a little something to their show!" Skystar smiled as she realized what she meant. Bluefire turned to see a small creek beside the battleground already begin swelling. It's working… He quickly put up a shield as a huge tidal wave sprang up from the swollen creek. "Now, Skystar! Do it now!" Skystar summoned a huge tornado which merged with the wave and just made the tornado deadlier. "Ha-ha, suckers!" Bluefire laughed as the soul-cats got sucked into the water tornado. The only ones left were Longclaw, Thistlescar, and Evil. Flamestar and Purestar finished them with a fire blast. Tea was just standing in shock.

"I…I have…"

"The blood of the Clans." Flamestar finished. Bluefire looked at her with confusion. How could she know? Then again, she does have her ways… "All of you, and Ryou, have the blood of the Clans. All we have to do is find your element, and your good to go." Of course, Flamestar knows already…

"Ok, so we have Yugi, whose fire, and Tea, whose water. Three more to go!" Bluefire said cheerfully as they settled down again.

(No POV)

A snow-white tom with cold brown eyes walked through a forest of shadows. He suddenly clutched his head and roared in pain as he felt someone fighting back in his mind. "I'm sick of this, Bakura!" The voice of a usually-shy cat yowled in the white tom's mind. "This time you will not win!" Bakura's body collapsed as the shimmering forms of him and Ryou appeared over it.

"So, Ryou, you finally decide to face me…" Bakura laughed.

"Oh, we'll see who'll be laughing…after I freeze your soul!" With that, Ryou raised a paw and shot a white beam of energy at Bakura, who only had time to realize Ryou had the blood of the Clans before the blast froze his soul in a block of ice. Ryou regained control of his body and looked at the frozen Bakura. "Next time, you'll think twice before you mess with an IceClan cat!"

(Skystar)

It was moonhigh. The Clan cats had found the den where Foxheart and Bakura had met and fallen asleep. Skystar jerked awake as she heard something just outside of the den. Because of her power over air, she could hear better than the others. She listened again and heard the sound of rustling bushes. Not bothering to wake the others, she slowly crawled out of the den to investigate. As soon as she had traveled 3 fox-lengths away from the den, a muzzle clamped over her mouth and chains closed over her legs, keeping her from moving. She couldn't call for help because of the muzzle. Darn Twoleg objects! She tried to use her powers, but her eyes widened when nothing happened. These were power-proof chains. She could already feel herself weakening and her wings melting onto her back. Three soul-cats emerged from the bushes. Two of them took the chains and the other one tensed and closed his eyes. Skystar's eyes widened in horror and shock as the soul-cat took the shape of her. They had come to take her away and leave her friends with a spy!

Flamemask: O_O NO! NOT SKYSTAR! I HATE YOU, BLAZE-CLOUD!

Me: CALM DOWN! And don't worry, I have a plan on what happens next...*smiles evilly*

Flamemask: Oh, Firestar, help us all...

Purestar: Rate and Review!

Flamemask: How did you get here?

Me: I invited him. Duh.

Flamemask: Oh..then, yeah! Rate and Review!
