Chapter 12

(Well, that last chapter was longer than usual. Now please someone review. The parody I'm writing has more reviews, and it's half as long.)

Blueblaze dashed through Dark Forest territory. He was the only Dark Forest cat still actually in Dark Forest, and now he had to tell Starclan what they were missing.

Unsure what name to call out, he just shouted, "Starclan!" At that moment, he rounded a corner, and the Starclan cats came into view. "Oh good. I found you."

"You!" Blackstar shouted. He pinned the unsuspecting Blueblaze. "You're from Dark Forest."

"I'm the one who warned you they were attacking!" Blueblaze cried out.

"No one ever warned us." Blackstar growled.

"I . . . I tried to warn Stormheart." He gave a feeble attempt to explain. It was hard with Blackstar's claws so close to his neck.

Leafstar perked up when he said 'Stormheart'. "Wait." She ordered Blackstar. "What happened to Stormheart?"

This was some sort of test, it had to matter. It didn't matter either way though, Blueblaze knew what happened to her. "Glitch killed her. I tried to stop her, but Breezepelt. . ."

Leafstar nodded. "Alright. Off him Blackstar!" She snapped.

Blueblaze couldn't see her face, but she must have been pretty irritated, because Blackstar got off without any arguments. Blueblaze got up. For a little, Starclan and he looked at each other, Blueblaze taking all of them in.

"So, why are you here Blueblaze?" Firestar asked.

Blueblaze's urgency came back to him."The clan cats have gone to Starclan!"

There were a few gasps. "What?" Mistystar breathed.

"They came to see what was going on, and probably help u-you." Blueblaze explained. "And if generations of Starclan couldn't defeat the Dark Forest cats, then the clan cats will be dead for sure."

"We have to go help them." Firestar declared.

"What about Jayfeather?" Onestar asked. "When he comes back?"

"Someone will need to stay behind and wait for him." Firestar decided. "A medicine cat maybe."

"No!" Flametail shouted. "You'll need us!"

"I'll stay." Whispervoice stepped forward. "I'll stay here."

There were a few cats who looked like they had concerns about that, but there wasn't really time to argue. So when Firestar said, 'It's settled then', No one objected, and they all headed for Starclan.

Springstar appeared in the middle of Starclan, at least is used to be Starclan. It looked different now. That wasn't what was worrying her though. The problem was, she'd brought a patrol with her, and now the patrol was gone. "Winterfur!" She called out, looking around. "Summerheart! Darktalon!" No one answered. There was, however, a growl from the bushes. "Oh no." Springstar breathed.

That's when Leader came plowing out, knocking off her feet and pinning her down. "Miss me?" He growled.

"Afraid not, it's been a tragically short time." Springstar told him.

Then she kicked into his stomach and kicked to get him off, clawing at his chest in the prossess. It worked, he fell off. Springstar leapt back up. She wanted to move on, look for her clan, but Leader would probably recover, and then he'd attack. So she charged towards him to bite him on the neck. Unfortunately, Leader saw it coming. He bit into her face, getting her eyes. Springstar pulled back with a yowl, shaking her head, eyes shut. Then her head was hit again, and she fell to the ground.

Suddenly there was the sound of a fight starting up, someone else was attacking Leader! Thinking it was one of her clanmates, Springstar forced her eyes open. It wasn't anyone she knew though. The cat fighting Leader lost his footing. He bit into his ear and dragged him down with him.

Well, whoever this cat is, he's saving me. I better repay the favor. Springstar thought. She shot forward, smashing heads with Leader. The other cat used the opportunity to bit into Leader's neck.

Springstar panted. "Thanks for that." She spoke to soon.

The strange tom growled and moved towards her, still in attack position. "Who are you? How did you get here?"

Springstar stood up straighter. "I might ask you the same question. I got here because I'm Springstar, leader of Leafclan."

The cat laughed. "Well I'm Fangmouth, deputy of Fallenclan. I've seen all five clans, and I can tell you now there's no such thing as Leafclan."

"Five clans?" Springstar asked in disbelief. "There are not five clans. Leafclan is the only one." The two stared at each other stubbornly for a moment, before what had happened sunk into both their heads. "Oh." Springstar breathed. "Starclan really has to keep us better informed."

"Agreed." Fangmouth nodded.

Then Springstar screamed. "What is it?" Fangmouth asked.

"Leader! He's gone!" Springstar cried out.

Fangmouth looked down, towards where they left Leader. Sure enough, he was gone, leaving only a slight trail of blood from his neck. "Well what are we waiting for?" Fangmouth wanted to know. "Let's get after him."
