Warriors: The New Era.
Chapter Forty Six: Plan of Attack
Hawkfrost finally makes his move, and comes back to his old friends to ask for their help...but will they listen?
Foxleap sighed and growled, delivering a right hook to Ivypool's face. Ivypool blocked it and sunk her gloved fist into Foxleap's teeth.
Ivypool spat, "Weak little shit! Again!"
"SHUT UP!" Foxleap launched himself again, relasing his fury into loads of punches and swings.
When Foxleap said that last word,
Ivypool played defense, and while she wasn't quick enough to block every blow, she still hissed, "If you were serious in wanting to learn how to fight, then you'd be fighting! Not prancing around like a character from Mortal Kombat! FIGHT ME!"
"RRRGGGHHHH!" Foxleap lifted his foot, ready to kick Ivypool back, but Ivypool caught the leg, and spun him off balance, knocking him to the ground. Ivypool rushed down to his level, grabbing his arm and shoulder, pushing him to the ground.
"You're done Foxy," Ivypool muttered.
Foxleap struggled and struggled, but Ivypool remained firm with her grip.
"F-fine! I'm done..."
Ivypool let go, and Foxleap slammed his hands on the ground, furious.
Ivypool muttered, "You lost control."
"Of course I did. My sister was kidnapped, raped, and tortured all on MY watch! I have every right to be angry!" Foxleap roared.
Ivypool sighed, "Anger can be a weapon, if you can control it, USE IT. You clearly cannot."
Foxleap stomped to his feet, and before he could swing at Ivypool, she had already lifted her foot and kicked him in the neck. Foxleap staggered to the wall, where Ivypool pinned him to the wall.
"This remind you of anything?" Ivypool smirked, internally furious at the Ginger.
Foxleap cracked a smile, "Several moments come to mind."
Ivypool let go of Foxleap and sighed, "You have every right to be angry. But, being angry isn't going to make the problems go away."
"Yeah, I'm sorry," Foxleap nodded.
Ivypool nodded, resting a hand on Foxleap's shoulder. She was an inch or so taller then Foxleap (which didn't help his ego), but Ivypool was known for being more tough then most men.
"I get it...I...you remember the old timeline?"
Foxleap shook his head, "No...but I'm trying to."
"Well...Poppyfrost was with me when the world went to shit. The Scourge ambushed us and took her. Foxleap, I was with her! If...if I had been stronger, or more aware...then Poppyfrost would still be the happy kleptomaniac she was. Not the new, overly mature and depressed woman she is now. I failed her, Foxleap. Just like you failed Icecloud."
"What a bunch of failures we are..." Foxleap muttered, still leaning up against the wall.
Ivypool leaned down next to him, sliding to the ground before saying, "Do you remember why we broke up?"
"I thought it was because I was an egomaniac with a superiority and god complex?"
Ivypool chuckled, "Yeah, most of that was true...and because...well, I felt guilty."
"Whaddya mean?"
Before Ivypool could reply, a knock on the basement door had them both shoot up from the ground.
Berrynose opened the door, and gestured upstairs, "Hey...Jayfeather sent me to get you."
"Why?" Foxleap asked, "What's happened?"
Hawkfrost stood at the front door, eyes pale white, pupilless, but still full of emotion.
"Surprise..."
"I'll be Goddamned," Lionblaze muttered. "Two years man. Two fucking years."
Hawkfrost shuffled his feet like the little kid he was mentally.
"Good to see you alive man," Lionblaze pulled Hawkfrost in for a hug.
Hawkfrost was confused for a second, but returned the gesture.
Jayfeather nodded, as Foxleap and Ivypool entered the hall with from the basement. Foxleap instantly widened his eyes, while Ivypool smiled widely, "HAWKFROST!"
"HEY, Little Sister!" Hawkfrost rushed to hug her, while Foxleap looked away, embarrassed and jealous. It was no shock that those two got along better then anyone in the house. Foxleap was just grateful that there was seemingly no romantic feelings between them.
But it still made him jealous.
"It's so good to see you again!" Ivypool nodded.
Hawkfrost nodded, "It's great to see you too. And Foxleap, hey! How are you doing?"
"Peachy, Hawk. Or is it Hawkfrost? I can never tell you apart," Foxleap admittedly shrugged.
Cinderheart and her sisters came from the upstairs, and smiled widely at Hawkfrost's return. Poppyfrost grinned while Honeyfern raised a brow. Cinderheart nodded in appreciation.
Hawkfrost scratched the back of his head, "At the moment? Both of us. We've bonded temporarily. Every time we meditate, we fuse. But when we don't we separate again."
"Like Hulk?"
"Sure. Except, well, we are someone new. No voices in each other's heads. Just the two of us, acting as one."
"Who's this guy?"
The Resistance Members followed after the Three sisters, and with weapons drawn, eyed Hawkfrost.
"He's with us," Ivypool nodded.
Poppyfrost nodded, "We can vouch for him."
Jayfeather grinned, "It's good to see you old friend. How have you been? What brings you here?"
Hawkfrost's demeanor changed, and he sighed, "Unfortunately...I'm the bearer of Bad News. Do we have everyone here?"
"Not yet," Honeyfern replied, "Hazeltail and the others are coming up. We were tending to...well, Icecloud."
Hawkfrost gasped, "Oh no, what's happened?"
"None of your buis-" Foxleap started before he remembered Ivypool and his conversation, "Well...it's not my place to say."
"Okay," Hawkfrost nodded, understandably being quiet.
Eventually, Jack brought Icecloud and Hazeltail upstairs, where Icecloud slightly flinched at Hawkfrost's presence, but smiled warmly, "Good to see you alive, Hawk."
Hawkfrost nodded, "The feeling is mutual. Okay, do we have everybody? Where's Dovewing?"
"She's in Forrestlake city at the moment," Ivypool responded, "She's getting married soon."
"To who? That Bumble guy?"
Ivypool giggled and shook her head, "No. Tigerheart."
"Never met the fella," Hawkfrost admitted. "Okay...now, is there somewhere we can all talk privately?"
Foxleap smirked.
"Wow, you've made some improvements," Hawkfrost admitted, looking at all the new monitors and keyboards, "Okay...do I have permission to say what I've come to say?"
"Stage is yours," Jaywhisker nodded, sipping coffee.
Hawkfrost looked at his audience.
The Three stood alert, the Resistance next to them, with Berrynose and Honeyfern in the Middle of the groups. Hazeltail and Midnight leaned against the wall, while Poppyfrost and Cinderheart stood next to Half Moon and Hollyleaf. Fallen Leaves was standing right beside his girlfriend, while Foxleap stood behind Ivypool. Fang stood further away, arms folded, while Sunfield watched with enthusiasm. Sparkpelt stood in front of her queen, eyes full of distrust in Hawkfrost. Fernsong stood between his parents.
Hawkfrost took a deep breath.
"We found Jay's Wing."
Jayfeather widened his eyes as Hawkfrost continued, "Rock is holed up in the mountain, who'd have guessed right? He's planning something, with ARS."
THIS caught the Resistance's attention.
"But, Firestar and I are planning a raid of our own. Hit them before they can mobilize."
"A politician?" Poppyfrost drawled, "Greeeaat. Like we need more of them."
Jack smirked, "No he's not. Far from it. He's no politician. He's American actually."
"WHAT?" Dusty snapped.
Jack nodded, "His real name is Rusty Andora. But he changed it when he came here, to fit in. He was a decorated CIA agent, everyone in my unit has heard of this man. He settled down last I heard, got married. Moved here. He has citizenship in both Forrestlake and America."
"Andora?" Poppyfrost gasped.
Jack raised a brow, "You know the name."
Fernsong furiously shook his head at Poppyfrost, glaring daggers.
"N-no," Poppyfrost muttered, "Just, thought it was a funny name."
Jack rolled his eyes, "Says 'Poppyfrost'."
"Shut up."
Hawkfrost started typing on the keyboard, showing a Ariel view of the mountain. "Firestar thought it was beneficial if he got back in the game one last time. He, and a team of soldiers will breach the north entrance by the tunnels. The Resistance, if they are up for it, will help The Three move through the tunnels and right on top of Rock's dwelling. We won't be beating our way through the army. This is mean to be precise, and fast. Military style."
"I like the sound of that," Poppyfrost smirked madly.
"We go in fast, we go in hard," Hawkfrost smirked, as Fang glared at a almost chucking Sunfield, "If we play our cards right, we can take out Rock, while freeing Jay's Wing."
Jayfeather raised his hand, "Who will be freeing Jay's Wing?"
"You and Me," Hawkfrost nodded, "Any other questions?"
"Yeah I got one," Ashtooth nodded, "Who's going to be stopping Rock?"
"I will," Fernsong nodded, "I have some tricks up my sleeve."
Hawkfrost whispered to Foxleap, "Sorry, uh, who's he?"
Foxleap smirked, "Lionblaze and Cinderheart's kid."
Hawkfrost widened his eyes and gasped, "The fuck?!"
"Time traveler."
"Oh, okay that explains it."
"I love how you just accept that, no questions asked," Foxleap smirked.
Hawkfrost shrugged, "Well, yeah."
"When do we move out?" Mallowleaf asked.
Hawkfrost smirked.
"Tomorrow. Tomorrow, we win."
"This is a half baked plan," Hollyleaf spoke up, "You think we stand a chance."
"Chance has EVERYTHING yo do with it," Fernsong nodded, "We have a Moonstone, soldiers, The Three, and Hawkfrost, our insider!"
Jayfeather turned to his sister, "She's right though. We're going to need help."
"Who do you have in mind?" Hawkfrost asked.
Jayfeather smirked.
Ravenheart nodded, "Your plan isn't TOTALLY ridiculous. But it's risky."
"Yeah," Fallen Leaves nodded, having been sent as the messenger, "But we need more muscle."
"Muscle is my middle name," Tigerjaw smirked.
Fallen Leaves grinned, "So you're in?"
"We are," Ravenheart nodded, "Crowflight may take some convincing, but I'll persuade him."
Fallen Leaves nodded in understanding, "We move out tomorrow."
"We'll be there."
Okay, if this seems shorter then it should be, that's my bad. Cause I'm going to be gone for Ten days, max, and get no work done. So, I felt obliged to give you guys something before I go.
If you hadn't noticed, this is the beginning oh the end of the story. The Final Battle. I hope you enjoy it...
I know I will.
Remember to Review! Honestly guys, it helps!
Adios.
