Chapter Fifty five: The End of The War.

Okay. So it seems war has shown up in the reviews.

I finally got a negative review...FINALLY! It's about time someone found some mistakes and bad edges. That's the whole point of a review. To say what you think, and help guide the author. Needless to say, he was kinda right. I did take some things too far, so I apologize for that.

And to Darkpool, who immediantly jumped to my side, thank you for your loyalty, but the guest had his reasons and points. He didn't necessarily needed to be told to stop, as he was giving advice and his opinion. We all have a right to opinions.

But in my defense, I couldn't make a story that was all happy and friendship. That's been done before. No one else has made a Warriors High story, where you don't know who the real bad guy is, or where School is the least of their problems. No petty drama between girls, no pool parties, just two sides of a centuries old war. THAT'S THE STORY I MADE, the one I'M GOOD at, not some love triangle between Poppyfrost, Honeyfern, and Berrynose. Not a Heathertail, that is a total bitch. Not a prankster trope that Foxleap has been given for SO long. Just look at Chapter Six. Talk about cringe!

No, I dealt with drinking problems, forbidden love, death, identity crisis, Magic, music and arts, the never ending love of a broken star, the evil in this world. Cause there is evil! Not everything is sunshine and roses!

But I'm getting off topic. My point is, to the anonymous reviewer who posted it, Thank You. Thank You for your opinion and insight. I did not realize the mistakes in my story, and would have appreciated being told sooner, so that I could have changed some things. Thank You for your help.

And so now back to the story.


Jayfeather POV

The fight was glorious.

Jayfeather and Brokenstar collided into each other...trying to push the other back. Brokenstar was stronger, and Jayfeather moved out of the way and tripped him. Brokenstar grunted, but pushed himself up and punched Jayfeather across the jaw.

Jayfeather spat blood out "Come on Ivypool, what's taking you so long?!"

Brokenstar grabbed Jayfeather's head and headbutted him so hard, he flew to the wall. Jayfeather flipped so his legs hit the wall, and he pushed off crashing into Brokenstar. He delivered a wild haymaker, and slammed the palms of his hands on Brokenstar's ears, discombobulating him.

While Brokenstar was stunned, Jayfeather kicked him in the chest twice, and then used his other leg to kick his enemy's face. The Sorcerer snapped out of the daze and blocked a heavy strike from Jayfeather, and then pushed him back. He charged forward and lifted Jayfeather off the ground, racing ahead while Jayfeather tried to free himself by ramming his elbow in Brokenstar's back.

The brute bore through it and slammed Jayfeather's back on the wall. Jayfeather roared in pain. Brokenstar drew his hand back, and slammed his fist into Jayfeather's teeth, breaking some. He grabbed Jayfeather by the waist and chucked him to the other side of the circular dome-like room.

Jayfeather hit the ground in pain, but he got up just in time to cross his arms and block a flying kick from Brokenstar. He grabbed the leg and twisted around, throwing Brokenstar to the wall.

Jayfeather dashed forward, and his eye's glowed blue. He stretched his hand out, holding Brokenstar in place "Your reign of terror ends here!"

"It hasn't even begun," Brokenstar's eyes glowed orange, and his skin glowed.

Brokenstar exploded with fire magic, breaking Jayfeather's invisible hold on him, and staggering him back. Brokenstar raged forward and delivered seven sharp and string jabs into Jayfeather's gut before grabbing him by the throat. His fist glowed with heat and burned Jayfeather's neck, before tossing him to the ground.

"I expected more from Rock's so called favorite!" Brokenstar snarled, fists clenched, as Jayfeather crawled away.

Jayfeather looked up to see the Moonstone, floating in the center of the room. He reached out to it, only to be dragged away by Brokenstar and tossed away.

"YOU STILL WISH TO FIGHT ME OVER THIS? I'LL SAVE THIS WORLD!"

Jayfeather groaned "Now I'll save it from you."

Brokenstar roared in pent up aggression. He swung his arm in a wide arc to which Jayfeather blocked. Brokenstar tried twice more on the opposite side and a hit to his hip, but Jayfeather deflected those too. Jayfeather jumped behind him and punched the back of Brokenstar's head and kicked him in the back.

Brokenstar pulled out a long slender knife, and charged again. He brought the knife down while Jayfeather grabbed his arms. Due to his superior strength, Brokenstar pushed Jayfeather to the ground and had the knife lining up into his head. Jayfeather pushed and pushed, but Brokenstar was stronger, the knife getting closer and closer to Jayfeather's eye.

Jayfeather roared, and let go of Brokenstar's wrists, tilting his head to the side so the knife pushed into the floor. He pushed Brokenstar off of him with his legs and got back up.

Brokenstar was not done. He charged again and this time successfully landing several blows to Jayfeather. His hands glowed with fire and he lobbed a fireball at Jayfeather who ducked. He closed the distance between them and did a running backflip, connecting his boot to Brokenstar's jaw.

"Fight without your magic! Let's see what you're made of old man!" Jayfeather growled.

"If that's how you want to settle this," Brokenstar's eyes changed back to their normal hue "It would be my pleasure."

Brokenstar slammed his fist into Jayfeather, hard enough to make Jayfeather drop to his knees, while Brokenstar lifted his hand into an vicious uppercut, sending Jayfeather to the ground again.

Now, Brokenstar was on his knees, give a relentless beatdown into Jayfeather's face. Jayfeather blocked a hit and pushed Brokenstar off, and rolled out of the way of a thunderous stomp on where he once was.

He clambered to his feet, he tried to punch Brokenstar but he caught his fist and twisted it, breaking Jayfeather's wrist. Jayfeather grabbed his arm in pain, while Brokenstar grabbed him again, and knee'd him in the gut, before throwing Jayfeather away.

As Jayfeather slid against the floor, he looked up to see a purple portal show up next to the Moonstone.

(Cue Loreth's song hummed from Shadows of Mordor)

Brokenstar's face fell at ease at the noise of a familiar humming sound.

"Half Moon..." He whispered, crying.

"D-don't!" Jayfeather roared in pleading.

"Time has stolen so much from me," Brokenstar snarled with a burning resolve "I'm gonna steal something back."

"YOU WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING!" Jayfeather screamed.

Brokenstar didn't listen.

He jumped into the portal, and it closed behind him.

Jayfeather groaned in pain.

Silence followed soon after.

Jayfeather drifted into a drowsy and exhausted sleep.


Beep.

Silence.

Beep.

Silence.

Beep.

Jayfeather slowly opened his eyes.

As he pulled himself together, he realized where he was in shock.

A Hospital Room.

Jayfeather looked around. He was tied to some IV post beside his bed, and the sun was shining brightly through the window. There were an array of chairs next to his bed, some leaned against the window sill. A TV was on the wall facing him.

He tried to get up, but he was still too exhausted to get up. He turned his head back to the window, to see an array of flowers and balloons filled with the typical "Get Well Soon" theme.

"Wait...I thought nothing would change?"

Jayfeather looked down on his bed to see a TV remote. He turned the TV on and quickly flipped to the news channel.

"Are all the countries okay?" Jayfeather asked aloud.

The News Channels shocked him.

There was no mention of all about the takeover by Brokenstar.

"Wait...what?!" Jayfeather asked aloud again in confusion. He continued to scroll through the channels, news of parks and museums opening, a terrorist organization caught and being held on some island.

"HE'S AWAKE!"

Jayfeather turned too see a man with crimson red hair dart away from the door.

"WAIT! COME BACK! What has happened?!" He called out.

The door opened again.

All the breath in Jayfeather's lungs escaped him.

A young woman with white hair and the greenest eyes entered the room.

"JAYFEATHER!" Half Moon cried, flinging her arms onto Jayfeather, hugging him with a tight grip "You're okay! You're okay!"

Jayfeather, too shocked to comprehend, just stuttered "Wha-what?! You're here!"

"Of course I am!" Half Moon said, tears pouring "Why wouldn't I? When we found you, you were almost dead! Foxleap and I-"

"Foxleap?!" Jayfeather asked aloud.

Half Moon tilted her head "Are you alright? You...remember everything right?"

Jayfeather's mouth was wide open, and before he could reply, another face entered the room "Is he alright?!"

"Lionblaze, I think he might have slight amnesia," Half Moon answered "He remembers us, but he seems so...shell shocked!"

Jayfeather looked at his brother, his golden hair longer then normal, reaching his shoulder "You okay lil' bro?"

The Former Blind Boy was in denial now "No...you...t-the wires they...WHAT?!"

Lionblaze tilted his head "What wires? OH! You mean the wires that almost killed me by the river!"

"YES!" Jayfeather screamed "I...I saw you get burned alive!"

Lionblaze shrugged "Old Man was able to save me just in time."

Half Moon nodded "You've been out for several days. Parts of your brain must be waking up."

Jayfeather rubbed his head "And you! Bluestar exiled you!"

"Exile?" Half Moon looked to Lionblaze for help, who just shrugged "Uh...who's Bluestar?"

It all came crashing down on Jayfeather.

"That madman did it..." Jayfeather gasped in shock again.

"Madman?"

Jayfeather turned to Lionblaze "What about Brokenstar?"

"Brokenstar? Do you mean Tigerstar? We found him too, you really did a number on him," Lionblaze smirked, clearly impressed "I mean you fought him and defeated him. Once he wakes up, it's off to the Isle of the Criminals to him."

Jayfeather sighed, crashing back down on the bed "Oh...I...guess I've missed a lot."

Half Moon smirked "I'll say. Grandpa is gonna check on you, and then we'll leave back to home. Everybody's worried."

As the two left the room, Jayfeather tilted his head "Wait! Grandpa!"

As Lionblaze and Half Moon left, another older man moved past them and shut the door.

"Okay, who are you?!" Jayfeather asked incredulously.

He turned around.

It was him.

"Brokenstar?" Jayfeather asked in shock.

He was older now. His brown hair had some gray in the temples, and wrinkles clouded his face. But he seemed different. He was wearing a suit, and a long smooth cane with a glowing gemstone on top.

"Brokenstar? I haven't been called that in three hundred years," He replied "Although for you, it must've been a couple of hours."

Jayfeather tried to stand up, but again, he was too tired.

The Old Man smiled, warmly, and handed him a glass of water "You are dehydrated. Drink."

Jayfeather glared at him as he held the cup of warm water in his hands, to which the older man lifted his arms "It's not poisoned."

Taking a risk, he took a sip, before gulping it all down, feeling more rejuvenated "Why are you here...she called you grandpa!"

He smirked "Great, great grandpa. Probably more then that. She knows my identity, that's for certain."

"Your identity, Brokenstar?" Jayfeather asked.

"My name is Jay's Wing," he replied "Brokenstar died along with the original Half Moon."

Jayfeather sighed, fed up with it all, and looked out the window "So you fucking did it. You changed everything."

Jay's Wing sighed "No...this is the way things should have been. Happy. Normal. I mucked it all up in my grief. I changed things the first time, this? This is all that should be."

Jayfeather growled "I suppose you want an apology?"

"It's the opposite," Jay's Wing's smile fell "I've come to offer mine."

"What?"

Jay's Wing held up his hand.

A diamond ring.

"You were right. You can't go back. My wife died, no matter what I did to save her. I tried, and tried, but eventually...she passed. I could have kept going. I could have kept restarting and restarting, but I knew I couldn't do that. I just...knew. I learned something, something she told me on her dying breath, a lesson I should have been told the first time. You have to live life moving forwards...not back. And all of this is because I listened to her."

Jayfeather was moved slightly "How much...did things change. What happened to Rock?"

Jay's Wing smiled "He and I are partners again. I forgave him for her death, and we've built Forrestlake from the ground up. The Black Roots were disbanded, and now they are the Clan of Stars. Scourge and Tigerstar remained more or less the same, Bloodclan and Shadow Brethren-"

"Shadow Brethren?"

"Dark Trees," Jay's Wing sighed "They joined and almost took over again, and kidnapped you. The assault on your home still happened, Rock gave you your powers, and Mapleshade kidnapped a boy hoping to get to you, and it worked. Everything is nearly the same, just with me out of the picture. The only real difference is that I was not in charge. Tigerstar and Scourge led the rest of their tight group. Every interaction, every scar, even Hawkfrost are all the same."

"And Half Moon?"

"Oh..." Jay's Wing grinned "I may have made one BIG change."

Jayfeather raised an eyebrow in worry "And what is that?"

Jay's Wing grinned wider.

"You have no law saying you can't love."

Jayfeather's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.

"I...thank you..."

"Don't mention it," Jay's Wing grinned, as a mischievous grin came across his face "So...you and my descendant..."

Jayfeather groaned.


And that's it.

I know some of you were expecting a huge battle, or a giant death, or maybe some gore, but no.

It's over.

That's my ending.

BUT NOT THE ENDING!

No, I still have some chapters left to go, so stay tuned!

I feel I did Brokenstar justice. He learned his lesson, and won in the end. Everyone won in the end. It may seem a little rushed, but I had this all planned out from the moment this plot came into my head.

Au Revoir.
