Jayfeather had a plan. It wasn't a very good plan, but it would have to do. Jayfeather winced as he heard Brokenstar's screams rise above the normal din. Brokenstar had gotten the worst out of the arrangement by far. Both Scourge and Ivypool tortured him regularly.

Because o his enslavement he was forced to protect Ivypool with his life. Every time Scourge tried attacking her, he had to defend her. Ivypool was untouchable; the only why for her to die was if Scourge killed Brokenstar, and that wasn't happening anytime soon. Brokenstar was to valuable.

And this infuriated Scourge. Here was a cat literally two inches from him, and he couldn't even touch her.

Jayfeather himself had managed to save himself by fleeing. And in the chaos that had worked. But he couldn't leave the energy world and every day he was terrified of being found. But he had a plan; put Brokenstar into extreme pain mode, shut him down, and save Ivypool. He just needed to get inside her head, and he couldn't do that with Brokenstar there.

But he knew what he was doing was crossing the line. Not even Brokenstar deserved what had to happen.

Jayfeather crept silently up the corridor where Brokenstar was kept. He opened the door and slipped inside.

Jayfeather stalked up behind Brokenstar who lay on his side eyes closed. His breathing was ragged and uneven and Jayfeather wondered if he would die.

Then he attacked. Jayfeather stabbed him deep in the chest and he toppled with a scream. Jayfeather locked his jaws making sure that he wouldn't alert anyone to his presence.

To force him into extreme pain was to abuse him to the limit.

Jayfeather reached out for dark energy and forced it into metal. The metal ripped through Brokenstar's flesh. It pierced his shoulders ripping through his chest out his hind paws. It arched up tearing his flesh and out his pads. He collapsed in a small pile at Jayfeather's paws.

Don't. Please.

Jayfeather pulled out the serum he'd been carrying. It would set his nerves on fire. The serum would simulate the pain of acid.

Brokenstar's eyes widened. No. Please don't. I am still a cat. I surrender, I'll do what you want, just let me go.

I'm sorry. I can't. I need you to shut down. Extreme pain.

What? If you do that you'll be no better than Scourge.

I am doing what's right!

But that's what he thinks. He thinks what he's doing is right too.

I am saving my clanmates! Giving them a better life!

But he's doing the same to his clanmates. He gave them a better life, at our cost.

You are a foxheart Brokenstar. I care nothing for what happens to you.

Well that I may be, I am still a cat and I can still feel pain. And you are abusing you power. Have you forsaken the ways of Starclan?

At that Jayfeather laughed. You really will say anything to save your own hide!

I'm running out of options.

Yeah, you are.

It's not like you're any better than me.

What?!

You watched the only cat you truly love die. She's dead because of you.

Brokenstar's words were like a claw to his throat. He tried to think of single thing to say, but for once Brokenstar had spoken the truth. He had let her die. He could have saved her but he failed her.

Your fault. Jayfeather, if she saw the cat you are now, she would never love you. Half Moon wasn't it?

With a roar Jayfeather plunged the syringe deep into Brokenstar's chest. The Dark forest leader went rigid then slumped forward limp just as Scourge and Ivypool stormed in.

Jayfeather closed his eyes. He just needed to touch Ivypool's mind for one second. He could save her.

There she was. Drowning in a river of darkness. He eyes were closed. She was almost dead. He reached out a paw, and her paw clasped his and the world exploded in bright light.
