This was inspired by Moodycat2's story, Pure Evil: Dusk. It is SOOOO good and you guys should ABSOLUTELY read it!
Pinestar still leaves and Tigerkit's sisters still die. Sunstar chooses Speckletail for Tigerpaw's mentor instead of Thistleclaw because of her stern but knowing attitude. Tigerpaw doesn't attack Tiny so he never becomes Scourge. He, Lionheart and Whitestorm become best friends and they all tell each other everything, with Tigerpaw/foot asking for advice from Lionheart concerning his sister. Tigerpaw earns the name Tigerfoot after his mother and because of his loyalty to the Clan. Sunstar dies and Bluestar takes his place, naming Redtail as her deputy. Tigerfoot is proud of the younger tom as Spottedleaf had always been like a sister to him. Because of them sharing trust, Spottedleaf tells Tigerfoot and Redtail what Thistleclaw did to her. Tigerfoot and Redtail are obviously very angry and Tigerfoot's irrationale comes out when he says he wants to kill Thistleclaw. Redtail agrees, but that it has to happen discreetly and says that they should include Whitestorm in everything. Once they do, and Redtail organizes a 'patrol', Tigerfoot exchanges a look with Goldenflower where she smiles at him and his heart flutters. Once alone in the forest, Redtail, Tigerfoot, and Whitestorm corner Thistleclaw and kill him, bringing him back to Bluestar and saying it was a RiverClan ambush. Goldenflower rushes to Tigerfoot and demands to know that he's alright to which he answers with of course and that RiverClan warriors have nothing on him. She purrs with relief and he touches her affectionately on the shoulder with his nose before visiting Spottedleaf in the medicine den with Whitestorm and Redtail. They never let it slip that it was they who killed her predator and a few moons later, Tigerfoot asks Goldenflower to be his mate and she accepts happily.
Firepaw joins as usual, but he grows haughty and arrogant because of the Fire prophecy. Yellowfang joins and Spottedleaf dies, as does Lionheart, leaving Tigerfoot angry and mentally blaming Firepaw for bringing everything bad to his Clan. Redtail doesn't die, Darkstripe is still on the shadier side because he loves Tigerfoot, but the tom never returned his feelings, and Longtail is supremely loyal to Tigerfoot. Tigerfoot learns that Goldenflower is expecting kits and grows worried that he won't be a good father just like his own, but Goldenflower comforts him and later, when Bramblekit and Tawnykit are born, he develops a strong protection and love for them. Fireheart, Graystripe, Dustpelt, Sandstorm, get their normal names, with Ravenpaw becoming Ravenclaw for his bitter attitude. By this time, ShadowClan have grown restless under Brokenstar, Fireheart and Graystripe have returned with WindClan and Tallstar seems to have a strange fascination and loyalty to Fireheart.
Fireheart does bring in Cloudtail, leaving Tigerfoot more irritated that Bluestar seems to listen to this inexperienced warrior over him and Redtail. Fireheart and Graystripe get Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw, but Fireheart doesn't like Cinderpaw's 'annoying' attitude and tries to disable/kill her on the Thunderpath. He succeeds, leaving Cinderpaw to follow her normal path and Brackenpaw to be trained by Tigerfoot because Graystripe is strangely distant. Graystripe x Silverstream happens with Silverstream dying and Graystripe going to RiverClan with Featherkit and Stormkit. ShadowClan attacks ThunderClan, killing Redtail and leaving Brokenstar blind with ThunderClan. Tigerfoot is devastated by the death of another one of his best friends, and he finally confides his suspicions with Whitestorm who doesn't agree at first, but will in time. Fireheart becomes deputy to Tigerfoot's dismay – he was hoping Whitestorm would get that position – and Bluestar still goes into full shut-down mode, making Cloudtail a warrior before Swiftpaw and Brightpaw, leaving them to search for the dogs and nearly die. Forest fire happens, leaving Whitestorm and Tigerfoot to get everyone out as Fireheart is absent – no Bramblekit in tree – and the log falls over the entrance as Tigerfoot struggles to get Patchpelt out. Graystripe is visibly more torn up about his father dying.
When Tigerfoot returns, Yellowfang tells him that Spottedleaf was wrong and that fire would DESTROY the Clan, not save it. Brokenstar was with Yellowfang and they die together, with Yellowfang saying she deserves dying like her son after doing nothing to stop him. Tigerfoot has to tell everyone that Yellowfang is dead, leaving Cinderpelt sad and terrified for Brightpaw and Swiftpaw as she has to care for them alone now. Graystripe comes back to ThunderClan, leaving Stormkit and Featherkit to be raised by Mistyfoot. Fireheart seems angry because he lost his greatest asset in Brokenstar but doesn't want to turn to his half-siblings Grate and Slash (Socks and Ruby), who lead BloodClan.
Fireheart attacks with rogues, cornering Bluestar like in the books, but Tigerfoot saves her and banishes Fireheart, who goes to ShadowClan and becomes their leader Firestar. Graystripe is horrified that his best friend was a traitor. Tigerfoot becomes Bluestar's deputy, but Fireheart succeeded in killing Bluestar. Tigerfoot becomes Tigerstar and names his last remaining best friend as his deputy. Tigerstar finally names Brightpaw and Swiftpaw: Brightheart and Swiftspirit, and Brightheart becomes Cloudtail's mate. Ravenclaw is acting strange and vindictive toward Tigerstar and even tries to poison Whitestorm's daughter Sorrelkit for watching him and Firestar talking. Tigerstar banishes Ravenclaw, but is sorry his apprentice turned out so horrible; Goldenflower assures him that it was Firestar's influence and had nothing to do with him. Bramblepaw and Tawnypaw gain their apprentice names and Sandstorm becomes suspicious because of disappearing all the time. Tigerstar learns that she is going to have Firestar's kits. As Tigerstar returns home, he finds Goldenflower's dead body with Ravenclaw's scent all over it. He hates that he has to bring her body back to camp and show his kits and mentally curses StarClan for leaving him alone without his beloved mate and three of his best friends. Everyone mourns Goldenflower's death and Tigerstar takes that as a last straw; he will take Firestar down, even if it's his Clan against three others.
Leopardstar wants to take Firestar down as well, as he suggested they join, but when she said no, he killed Stonefur in the dead of night as a punishment. Just as normal, Firestar forms FireClan with WindClan, as Tallstar has a strange sort of affection and respect to Firestar and Tigerstar forms IceClan with RiverClan. Firestar had to go to his half-siblings and convince them to bring BloodClan. When they appear behind Tallstar, the older leader says he isn't so sure about this and Firestar turns on his charm and tries to convince Tallstar through saying he's like a father and a father should always be proud of and take care of his son… right? Tallstar looks extremely uncertain and goes silent and Tigerstar takes that as his cue to tell all five Clans all that Firestar has done. Firestar lashes out that that was in the past and he will supply BloodClan and FireClan with all the territory in the forest, but Grate and Slash say they will not fight. Firestar lashes out at them, and goes for Grate first (Socks), trying to kill him. Slash (Ruby) whirls and slashes out Firestar's throat, leaving him to die. Grate and Slash then turn to Tigerstar and say that they will still take over the Clan's territory in three days' time; the Clans can either leave in that time and live, or they can stay and die.
The Clans leave and prepare to fight BloodClan, with the apprentices wanting to avenge Goldenflower's death, so Tigerstar includes them. They go to fight, and Ravenclaw nearly kills Tigerstar, but Dustpelt comes in at the last moment, saving the cat that was like his father and killing his traitorous brother. Tigerstar, Tallstar, Leopardstar, and Blackfoot kill Grate and Slash together, as it would have been great to see the four leaders work as a TEAM IN KILLING THE LEADER OF BLOODCLAN, but I guess it doesn't matter as long as the main character is the ultimate savior, RIGHT?! But in the midst of all the battle, Whitestorm is killed and Tigerstar names Longtail as his deputy.
This is just the first series and if you want me to continue with ideas for the second series and how Hawk and Moth exist, I would love to do so as well as doing your guys's suggestions that you've left!
