Sorry I know i haven't posted a chapter in a long time but this one will be a lot longer than my other chapters. Also the whole submarine thing may not make sense, just pretend it does. I don't know everything about submarines and I know that a lot of the things I wrote may not make sense. Just to make it easier to understand though, the submarine is partially above the water so its possible for them to walk on top of it.

When the four of them reached the shore of the lake Winterpaw was still holding on to the hope that they would be unable to get to the submarine and the suicide mission would be cancelled. They were all heavily armed, Birchfall had a machine gun and Ashfur even had an energy sword. Winterpaw wasn't sure how he got it but he didn't ask. Nightpaw had her knives of course as well as a rocket launcher. None of them bothered re-dying their fur camo, it would be useless in the submarine anyways. Unfortunately a hawk was waiting for them on the shore.

"Okay, we'll ride in the hawk until we're over the submarine, where we will skydive onto the submarine and try to find a way inside. It shouldn't be hard because we'll shoot a bunch of holes in it from the hawk. Nightpaws rocket launcher will work well for that. Once we're inside we're supposed to kill everyone but each other and take control of the submarine." Birchfall ordered.

"Holy fuck Birchfall, how the hell are we gonna do that. They'll likely shoot us down when we're still in the hawk. Then if we survive that we'll likely drown and if we don't we'll get killed in the submarine." Nightpaw pointed out.

"I know but we can't exactly swim to the submarine, it's way too far for us and Firestar hid all the inflatable rafts, he said he's saving them for a party." Birchfall replied.

"Oh to hell with it lets just go." Nightpaw mewed and stalked over to the hawk. "I'll drive." Ashfur offered. No one objected, Ashfur was the best with vehicles of all of them there anyways.

Winterpaw had never been in any type of plane before, he hadn't even ever been in a tank. He knew Nightpaw hadn't either. For a moment he wondered if Ashfur and Birchfall knew how to drive it. They had only been in this reality for less than a week. They seemed confident enough though, it seemed like as soon as the clans entered this reality they automatically acquired a bunch of new skills they had no way of knowing before the change. Winterpaw actually was starting to find this reality exciting in less of a confused way, it felt more fun to be alive.

They were all in the hawk except Ashfur who had disappeared suddenly. They waited for a few seconds for him to come back before Birchfall started getting really pissed off. "Where the fuck is he? The motherfucker probably ditched us!" Birchfall growled, flexing his claws and scratching them against the floor in agitation. Winterpaw began to wonder if he was going to have some sort of breakdown as Birchfall began tearing his claws through the seat. "We're all gonna fucking die now!" Birchfall exploded just as Ashfur opened the door and got in the drivers seat without a word. He started the hawk and took off, acting really calm. As soon as the plane was in the air he began laughing for some reason. Winterpaw stared at him in alarm as Ashfur threw his head back and laughed insanely. Everything was silent for a few seconds except for Ashfurs laughing. Birchfall was no longer angry and was just staring at Ashfur with everyone else. Suddenly Ashfur veered sharply to the left, it was unexpected and Winterpaw struggled to keep himself from slamming into the side. Ashfur was driving way faster than he had to. He didn't even seem to be looking where he was going. "Ashfur slow the fuck down." Birchfall snapped. "You're acting like a homicidal psycho Ashfur, just let me drive." Ashfur continued laughing and driving like a maniac.

"Okay Ashfur I'm going to drive now." Birchfall said calmly as if he was afraid that if he did anything to piss Ashfur off Ashfur would crash the plane and kill them all. Ashfur whipped his head around to glare at them. "If you come near me I will crash this plane into the ground and we will all die." "Holy fuck I was right!" Winterpaw thought as Birchfall backed away from him, fear in his eyes as Ashfur flew low enough that the plane skimmed just over the tops of the trees. Nightpaw was the only one that didn't look afraid, she seemed really pissed off though. By now they had all seemed to notice that Ashfur was going the wrong way. He was heading towards the battle, they could already see the tanks and fighting cats in the distance. Winterpaw couldn't tell whether the clans or the covenant was winning though it looked like the battle had just started.

Soon they were only a few seconds from being in the battle. No one knew what Ashfur was going to do but they were all afraid. Even Nightpaw was beginning to look uneasy. Suddenly Nightpaw smiled, eyes shining in happiness as Ashfur aimed at Firestar and fired. The ground directly beside him exploded in flames as Ashfur cursed and fired again. Nightpaw looked like she was having the best day of her life and was cheering Ashfur on. A few seconds later Winterpaw joined in. "Yeah Ashfur! Kill him!`` by now even Birchfall was excited. ``Oh fuck this.`` Ashfur muttered and began laughing insanely again. Suddenly he was driving the plane at maximum speed directly towards Firestar. `No Ashfur! Fuck! No I didn`t mean that! You insane bitch!" Winterpaw yelled. A split second later Nightpaw was pushing him off the plane as it plummeted towards the ground. Winterpaw struggled to fight the panic raging inside him as he fell through the air and crashed into the ground.

Winterpaw lay on the ground, too dazed to stand up. He could see Nightpaw and Birchfall, who must have jumped out of the plane at the last second. The sound of gunshots and screaming was enough to get him to his paws again. Someone had thankfully deployed a bubble shield around them. He forced himself to think clearly, wondering if Ashfur had succeeded in killing Firestar.

He saw Ashfur climbing out of the wreckage of the plane, somehow still alive and without any fatal injuries. Firestar was laying motionless on the ground. He could see Nightpaw staring at Firestars mangled body, he knew she was willing him not to get up. By now the clan was coming out of shock. The remaining covenant had been surprised at the crash and had ceased fire for a few moments. Only a few jackals were left , though Lionblaze was currently in the process of killing them. They hadn't won though, Winterpaw knew backup would be take the fallen covenants place within minutes.

"What the hell!`` Brambleclaw exclaimed. "What the fuck did you guys do?"

"I missed." Ashfur said simply, looking sad. "I'm sorry."

"That's okay, now go do what you were supposed to do in the first place. Birchfall can stay though, he has a lot of injuries." Brambleclaw ordered. "Okay." Ashfur agreed.

Suddenly Firestars injuries disappeared and he slowly struggled to his paws. "What the fuck were you trying to do?" Firestar exclaimed. "I just lost a life!" At the sound of those words Nightpaw visibly cheered up. Ashfur looked really proud of himself for a moment before quickly covering it up with mock concern. Winterpaw had to try really hard to look like he cared about Firestars life too.

"I got confused. I thought you were a submarine." Ashfur mewed. Winterpaw struggled to choke back his laughter.

"Well, I was thinking about wearing my submarine costume today, Ashfur. But I don't look much like a submarine today, not even a yellow submarine." Firestar said, looking a bit sad. "Yeah you do Firestar. You're wearing yellow eye shadow today. It really confused me, it was the exact color of a yellow submarine." "Does it look good on me?" Never in hell Winterpaw bit back the words. "Yeah Firestar you look really attractive." "Aww you are too." Firestar mewed "I forgive you now, but next time let someone else drive, okay?" "Yeah, okay." Ashfur agreed. "Look! A phantom! The next attack is coming!" Someone shouted. "Okay lets go." Nightpaw mewed. "We don't have a way to get to the submarine." Winterpaw pointed out. "Look." Nightpaw mewed, motioning towards the lake. The submarine was close enough to the shore by now that they could swim to it. "Fuck. Okay, I hope you guys can swim alright." Ashfur said. Nightpaw nodded grimly, "Yeah but how the hell are we going to get in the submarine?" "Shoot at if from the shore while we swim towards it, and try not to hit us." Ashfur said.

"They'll kill me as soon as I make the first shot." Nightpaw snapped. "This is a suicide mission dumbass." Ashfur retorted. "If any of you want to live, I will get on the submarine alive. I have a plan but it involves me living at least till then." Nightpaw hissed, flexing her claws and giving Ashfur a look that told him to shut the fuck up.

"Fine, for fucks sake just give me your rocket launcher at the shore, I'll do it." Ashfur growled. Nightpaw nodded, looking calmer, and retracted her claws.

When they got to the shore Nightpaw handed Ashfur the rocket launcher and began to walk into the water. Winterpaw followed her, disliking the way his fur was instantly soaked with cold water. Soon they could no longer touch the bottom and began swimming. Winterpaw flinched as Ashfur fired the first shot. It hit the submarine, which was slightly above the water. Winterpaw fought panic for a second at the lack of a solid surface beneath his paws, the bottom of the lake was getting farther and farther below them as they approached the damaged submarine. When they reached it Ashfur pulled out a sniper and began sniping the enemies closest to Winterpaw and Nightpaw, who hadn't been seen yet.

When they were close enough they attempted to pull themselves onto the top of the submarine. Winterpaws claws scratched and slid down the side of it as he struggled to grip the metal, Somehow Nightpaw had made it to the top and began to help him up. Of course by now they had been seen by the covenant though Ashfur was trying really hard to cover them from the shore. When they were both finally on the submarine a group of grunts came up to attack them. Nightpaw whipped out the energy sword she had taken from Ashfur in exchange for her rocket launcher and began slashing them to pieces. Blood flew into the air as she did a twirled around with her blade, decapitating the surrounding enemies. They were dead before Winterpaw had even had his shotgun ready.

"Okay I'm going in." Nightpaw said. Winterpaw nodded and followed her into the submarine, shotgun ready. His heart was hammering in his chest and he was on an adrenaline high. All his senses soaked in everything around him, he couldn't remember the last time he had felt so alive.

"Okay Winterpaw, I am going to give them the drugs I brought. The covenant knows what they are, trust me, I never told anyone but I saw a group of them a few days ago smoking up just outside out territory. They didn't attack me or anything, they were really happy and just asked me if I wanted some. They were actually really nice." Winterpaw stared at her. "So you're saying you got high with the covenant." "Yeah but I couldn't tell anyone. No one would believe me." "Thats actually really awesome." Winterpaw said. "Yeah well I'm hoping it works again." Nightpaw replied and turned around to go into the submarine. When they were inside shots were immediately fired at them.

"Wait! I have magic!" Nightpaw yelled.

One of the enemies shouted something and the firing stopped. A deadly looking elite stalked up to them and Winterpaw forced himself not to step back, even Nightpaw looked afraid. "Magic?" The elite growled. "Yes. We have enough for everyone." Nightpaw said, opening the pack on her back and showing them the contents inside. The elite nearly began to look... friendly, though it still frightened Winterpaw somewhat.

"I'm sorry I killed those other guys on the top of the submarine but they would have killed me, I had no time to explain myself. "Come with me." The elite growled. They followed the elite through the submarine into a heavily guarded room. Inside the brute chieftain was staring at the intruders menacingly. "What is this!" He growled, lifting his hammer thing. "No, they have magic." the elite said quickly, showing him the pack full of

assorted psychedelics, weed, and some heroin and stuff. The chieftain growled again, though put his hammer down and reached for a joint from the pack. He grunted something and the elite tossed him a lighter.

Winterpaw watched, feeling a little envious, as chieftain lit the blunt and inhaled the magic smoke. Wow, some weed would be really nice right now, Winterpaw thought.

After a few moments Nightpaw spoke. "We will give you everything in this pack in exchange for peace."

The Chieftain paused, contemplating her offer. "First I must speak to the Prophet." He growled. Nightpaw nodded as they were escorted out of the room. From there they began to follow the elite somewhere else when suddenly a group of elites with rabies came charging into the submarine, directly towards the two terrified apprentices. "Oh Shit!" Nightpaw screeched. She really didn't want to get rabies... nor did she really feel like dying. She pelted after Winterpaw who was running away blindly as shots rang through the hall around them. Unfortunately the other covenant on the submarine had assumed that they were supposed to kill Winterpaw and Nightpaw too when they saw the rabid elites charging towards them. "Shit! Nightpaw, get in here!" Winterpaw said, fear wild in his eyes. Nightpaw bolted after him into a small room with a heavy metal door that they shut after them and immediately locked. Two elites were in the room at a machine gun turret, firing at the cats battling on the shore. Without hesitating Nightpaw knifed one on the back of the throat while Winterpaw shot the other one.

Nightpaw sat down for a moment, flanks heaving as she tried to breathe normally and calm her wild heartbeat. Across from her Winterpaw was staring at her with huge terrified eyes, fur on end and claws still unsheathed. Nightpaw closed her eyes, opened them again, and focused on the turret. They could still hear the covenant outside the door but she doubted they would get in… at least not for a few minutes. She leaped to her paws and inspected the turret, she had never used one before but it wasn't difficult for her. She aimed at a wraith in the battle and shot, watching with satisfaction as it went up in flames.

Winterpaw was still staring at her. She shrugged. "We might as well do something useful." She said. "Nightpaw.. it doesn't matter… " Winterpaw said. Nightpaw understood. They were likely going to die and so were the clans. Well, maybe the clans would survive, but right now staying alive wasn't looking like a promising outcome for her and Winterpaw.

She stared out at the cats, at her stupid annoying clan, at her moron leader… Wait. There was something she could still do. Her and Winterpaw would still probably die but at elast she would have achieved her one mission Bluestar had trusted her with.

Nightpaw smiled, she aimed at Firestar, and she fired. She watched explode, hoping it was enough for all his lives to fail him. Winterpaw crept up beside her. "Wait.. did you..?" Nightpaw nodded. Winterpaw looked at her and smiled.

And then the door was smashed open.
