A/N A lot of you will hate me for this, but I can't have Wolfstar just threaten forever. Darktail's pov,

TownClan met on top of the school. It was time for another raid, or so Darktail thought. Until Wolfstar made her announcement.

" We have made our raids. These have served our purpose well. But tonight is the time we will seriously injure, or else conquer, ForestClan. The point this time is to conquer, not create fear. We will maim but not kill, and I will go to Lionstar, and convince him that he needs to join with us. In addition, you will make sure that he does not think lightly of us. Hold queens and elders with a claw at their throats if necessary. Above all, we need a kit. Any kit will do. We will hold the kit in town, and keep it as a hostage. This will keep ForestClan from trying anything."

Darktail was shocked. She didn't care that she was attempting to take over the clans. She wanted that. But hold a helpless kit as hostage? Warriors, queens, even elders maybe, but not a kit! She knew why it had to be a kit. Holding any cat but a kit hostage would leave them vulnerable to the cat's power. But Darktail still didn't like it.

Nevertheless, Darktail was a loyal TownClan warrior, so she obeyed the leader. As the cats of TownClan leapt off the school, and onto a closed dumpster, then to the ground, then advancing to the ForestClan border.

They stepped across it and ran to the camp.

Lionstar was talking to his clan. But Wolfstar and TownClan jsut bowled right through.

Darktail took her power and put it to full use. She slashed apart Blackfire, leaving the warrior to bleed helplessly on the ground. She dove at Darkmoon, and shivered as ice began to form on her fur. Coyotehowl let out a howl and birds flew into the battle, pecking and clawing at the ForestClan warriors. Whitefrost was trying to get into the nursery. Stonepaw and Nightpaw were blocking his path.

" Keep him out of the nursery!" Nightpaw screamed as she dove in, then emerged with something in between her teeth. She ran away from the camp with it.

Then Moonflower blasted the clearing with moonlight, and the battle could be seen clearly. Already Batgaze had Darkmoon pinned, a claw at her throat. Lionstar and Wolfstar were fighting, claw on claw. It was equal. All Lionstar had to do was stare at her and maim her, and all Wolfstar had to do was repel him with a sound wave.

Eventually they abandoned their powers and fought with claws and teeth. Wolfstar leapt ahead. Lionstar leapt away. She bit into his shoulder, and he yowled in pain. She twisted and pinned him under her paw.

" Well Lionstar, will you allow us to take over ForestClan?" She asked.

" NO!" he hissed and sent a blast of pain at her.

She wailed and recoiled, and he leapt up and slashed her across the belly. She grabbed his head between her paws, and flung him into a tree. He leapt up and yowled, slashing her nose. She was about to take a life with a quick blow, when the grass erupted into fire.

Wolfstar was trapped in the flames. She saw Blackfire's markings glowing with her last effort.

" Coyotehowl." She said in horrible calmness.

Coyotehowl turned all her birds on the warrior. The already heavily wounded Blackfire succumbed, and the flames vanished.

Wolfstar rammed into Lionstar, placing a claw at his throat. He seemed to accept her victory.

" Now, will you submit to TownClan?"

" No."

" This may change your mind." She said, motioning to her deputy. Whitefrost went into the nursery and pulled out a kit.

It was small, maybe 3 months at least. It was a yellow furred tom, and his mother, Strongheart, looked at him sadly.

" We will hold this kit in our territory to keep you in line. To all other clans, this is still ForestClan. However, you will remember that we control this territory now, and will submit to us."

She gestured to the now dead Blackfire.

" Take this warrior as a warning."

TownClan returned to their camp. The kit was put in a dumpster.

He cried and cried and cried. Finally, out of sympathy, Darktail dropped beside him. He letout a cry and scuttled away.

"It's OK." Darktail said. "I'm Darktail. Who are you?"

" I'm Blazekit." he stuttered. "I'm scared."

" I'll protect you."

" Threefoot says that TownClan cats feed on the garbage."

" Threefoot was wrong. We eat rats and the like."

" Why was I taken?"

" You are a hostage. We need you so ForestClan won't attack us. By the way, what did your sister evacuate?"

At that remark, he turned hostile. He bopped her on the nose. "None of your business."

" OK. "

" You know, the only thing I really hate about this is I won't get to be a warrior."

That's when Darktail said something she almost immediately regretted.

" I'll teach you. Then when you get back you can be a real warrior."

" Thank you."

He snuggled beside her and fell asleep.

A/N As to what Nightpaw was carrying, I'm not telling you yet. I'll tell you the chapter after next chapter. I know Wolfstar taking over ForestClan was shocking, but it's all part of the plot. No, she won't be taking over SeaClan next chapter, she's going to be more patient than that.

Oh, plushies!

Serpent's Ballet, an Adderstripe plushie. And you can garuntee that you will be seeing these cats soon.

Nightshade07, a Blackfire plushie. I'm sorry I had to kill her, but Cloudmouth can't cover all the StarClan duties, and it didn't make sense that I had a bunch of battles with no losses.

Frenzied Warrior, a Waterpaw plushie.

Poppyspots, a Bumblestripe plushie.

Wolfstar-Coyoteblaze, a Darktail plushie.

Cinderpaw, a Silverfoot plushie, and you'll be seeing her soon.

See you all next chapter after Seaclan!
