Chapter 36 (but labelled #34)
Tigerstar's Attack
But the battle wasn't over yet! All of a sudden, Tigerstar, who had died twice before and had mysteriously come back to life again, came running toward her!
"No!" he yowled. "I can tell that Tigerkit will be good! I don't want a good cat named after me!" Apparently Tigerstar had forgotten that his own grandson, Tigerheart, was a good cat. As the twice-dead cat yowled in fury, he jumped at Starpaw.
"No!" screamed Whitestorm, who jumped in front of the apprentice to protect her. "You can't hurt her! Can't you see she has kits?"
"LOL," Tigerstar laughed, apparently having learned text-talk despite the fact that wild cats don't use cell phones. "I don't care! I'm evil!" He then attacked DaFluffykit!
"No!" Starpaw cried. She tried to get DaFluffykit away from the dark tabby tom, but he was too quick! Tigerstar scratched the newborn kit's nose. But DaFluffykit, who had been alive not five minutes, was a good fighter. He jumped at Tigerstar, and so did Firekit and Tigerkit! Three minute-old kits who didn't even have their eyes open yet were attacking one of the Clans' most deadly villains of all time. They shouldn't have stood a chance.
"Look at that! It's amazing!" someone not important enough to name said. "They're all fighting together! Three newborn kits are fighting like trained warriors! What are the odds of that?"
Tigerstar, who apparently was not as strong as he once was, could not beat the three kits. Perhaps he had had a change of heart and decided that killing newborn kits was just too evil, even for him.
"You may have defeated me this time, Starpaw!" he screeched, apparently forgetting that he had been battling with Starpaw's sons, not her. "But you'll never do it again!" He then ran away to the Dark Forest. Hollyleaf followed him. They were probably going to report back to Tiggerstar about how embarrassing their failure to kill newborn kits was.
Starpaw pushed her nose into Jazzstar. They'd won! But then...out of the darkness...came...Ashkit!
