Applepaw's point of view
Applepaw sat in the corner of the Windclan camp grooming herself.
Since she had gone on the patrol to Riverclan her and Songpaw got the rest of the morning off.
Applepaw was doing her best to avoid Runningkit and Owlkit thankfully the two of them were kept distracted by moss ball toss with Larkwing, Gorsetail, and Whiskernose so Applepaw and Songpaw got to groom themselves in peace.
" Breezepelt oh my Starclan Breezepelt did you here about Brindlewing and Hootwhisker" Featherpelt gossiped to Applepaw's father.
" Of course I have do you not think I know what my daughters are doing" Breezepelt admitted pridefully.
By now everyone in Windclan must have known about Brindlewing and Hootwhisker's little date no thanks to Songpaw except maybe Hootwhisker and thankfully the two were out on the morning hunting patrol so Applepaw didn't have to face Brindlewing.
" Bet you can't catch the ball" Owlkit taunted her brother.
" Can to" Runningkit retorted.
" Hay Whiskernose can you throw the ball for us" Runningkit squeaked.
" Runningkit remember your manners say please" Larkwing meowed.
" Sorry mama Whiskernose can you please toss the moss ball for us"
" Of course I can" the light brown tom smiled as tossed the moss ball towards the two kit's.
Applepaw watched as the two kit's scrambled for the ball and tumbled into each other.
" Would you ever want kit's Applepaw?" Songpaw asked.
" No I don't think that I would ever have the patience to deal with kits for 6 moons"
" I might when I'm older and if I found the tom to settle down with, But not for a while I still have my hole life ahead of me" Songpaw replied.
" Also not to be nosy or anything buuuuuut I heard that Skyclan may or may not have a Kin prisoner spying on them"
" What the were in Starclan's name did you hear that?" Applepaw asked.
" I heard it from Gorsetail and she heard it from Fernstripe and she heard it from a Thunderclan patrol who heard it from a Skyclan patrol."
" You sure do love your gossip don't you" Applepaw laughed, It seemed as if Songpaw was in a contest with Fernstripe and Gorsetail on who could be the most gossipy cat in Windclan.
" What I can't help it and Fernstripe started it"
" Do you know anything about Skyclan's spy"
" No that's all that Gorsetail told me and for all I know that couldn't be true"
" Harestar Harestar" Applepaw's sister Brindlewing burst through the camp entrance.
" There back already" Songpaw exclaimed surprised.
" Is Hootwhisker really that unaware"
" What wrong" Harestar emerged from Highstone with Crowfeather and Kestrelflight.
" Harestar something's wrong with Riverclan" Smokehaze exclaimed appearing behind Brindlewing and Hootwhisker.
" When we were patrolling the Riverclan border we saw a mass off cats we didn't recognize heading towards Riverclan's camp were sure that it was The Kin" Woodpaw explained.
" Again" Harestar sighed with worry.
" Well we agreed to help Riverclan if something like this happened so we will send a battle patrol to aid Riverclan"
" Me and Crowfeather will lead a battle patrol Nightcloud, Emberfoot, Leaftail, Breezepelt, Oatclaw, Crouchfoot, Smokehaze, Brindlewing, Hootwhisker, Flutterpaw, Woodpaw, and Applepaw come quickly" Harestar signaled with his tail.
" Kestrelflight tell Whistlepaw to get herbs ready for when we get back"
Before Applepaw could join the others Songpaw tapped her on the shoulder.
" Good luck Applepaw" Songpaw meowed.
" Thanks Songpaw" Applepaw replied before bounding off to join the Windclan patrol.
" Oh and when you see me dad and brother tell them I said good luck"
" Will do Songpaw"
Wrenpaw's point of view
Wrenpaw bounded through the Shadowclan Forest beside Rootspring and Tinycloud as fast as she could.
" Stop!" Hawkwing ordered the whole patrol stopped in unison as the Shadowclan camp came into view.
" Me, Cherrytail, Rabbitleap, Harrybrooke, Cloudmist, Gravelnose, Turtlecrawl, and Wrenpaw will go left the rest of you go right" Hawkwing order with his tail.
Wrenpaw followed behind her father and Turtlecrawl up one of the pine trees around Shadowclan's camp bellow them they could see chaos in the Shadowclan camp Slatefur and Strikestone helped the queens guard the nursery from a trio of Kin cats Sunbeam and Blazefire battered at 2 Kin cats and directly bellow them Gullswoop and Spireclaw were tangled up with 3 Kin cats.
" Alright three two one" Rabbitleap signaled the three cats leapt off of the tree branches claws unsheathed.
" Incoming" Turtlecrawl yelled nearly landing on Gullswoop by accident.
The three Skyclan cats landed directly on the Kin cats knocking them off their feet the three Kin cats flailed and squirmed around as they disparately tried to fight back against the Skyclan cat's surprise attack.
Wrenpaw had landed on a bright orange she cat being lighter then her the she cat swung her legs outward and slung Wrenpaw off of her.
As the she cat got to her feet she was tackled to the ground by Spireclaw the two cats tussled in a ball of fur and fangs.
Wrenpaw rushed back over to help Spireclaw Wrenpaw lunged at the bright ginger she cat batting the she cat square in the muzzle the she cat shrieked in pain batting wildly as she tried to escape from Spireclaw and Wrenpaw.
" Ya get out of here you crack brained Sleekwhisker followers" Spireclaw hissed as the bright ginger she cat bounded over the bramble wall.
" Skyclan what are you doing here?" Gullswoop questioned.
" We had inside help" Rabbitleap replied.
" What?" Gullswoop stated in surprise.
" It's a long story will talk about it later"
" Incoming on your left!" Turtlecrawl warned Wrenpaw and Spireclaw rolled out of the way off Antfur and Lightleap who were battling a pair of Kin cats.
" Turtlecrawl Wrenpaw split up" Rabbitleap ordered, Turtlecrawl and Wrenpaw nodded before running separate ways in the Shadowclan camp.
Looking around the Shadowclan camp Wrenpaw saw Harrybrooke and Cloudmist along with the Shadowclan warriors Hollowspring and Flowerstem in battle against a mob of 4 Kin cats.
Wrenpaw sprung on her paws and flew into the air something most Skyclan cats could do flying across the camp Wrenpaw slammed into a cream and white she-cat the she-cat was got completely off guard by Wrenpaw as both cats tumbled to the ground the she-cat quickly recovered flinging Wrenpaw off her and getting back on her feet.
Wrenpaw rolled back onto her feet to see the she-cat charge forward at her Wrenpaw crouched low as the she-cat lunged forward with her front paws stretched out. Wrenpaw rolled out of the way felling a sharp pain in her flank as the she cat raked her with her claws.
Wrenpaw sprung back to her feet turning around to meet the she-cat head on the she-cat charged at her Wrenpaw leapt into the air over her to dodge her turning around Wrenpaw bit down on the she-cat's tail she shrieked in pain hitting Wrenpaw with a powerful back kick Wrenpaw was sent reeling back into the ground. Wrenpaw struggled to her feet as the she-cat charged towards her. Wrenpaw decided that she couldn't win this fight and darted off with the she-cat in hot pursuit.
Wrenpaw raised across the clearing all around her she could catch glimpses of both Skyclan and Shadowclan cats in battle with Kin cats but she was running to fast to make out what was happening or who was winning.
Looking around her Wrenpaw saw a tree to her left making a snap decision Wrenpaw veered to her left with the she-cat right behind her Wrenpaw leapt forward and sunk her claws into the tree Wrenpaw clambered her way up the tree the she-cat tried to come up after her but was far slower then her the she-cat decided that Wrenpaw wasn't worth it and she bounded down the tree looking for another battle.
Safely up in the tree Wrenpaw looked around the Shadowclan camp as it turned out the arrival of the Skyclan patrol had swung the battle in the clans favor Wrenpaw could see that the Kin cats had gone from having the numbers advantage to being relatively even and the Kin cats seemed to be less experienced in combat compared to the clan cats.
Wrenpaw leapt back down the tree looking to see if there was any clan cats to help she saw Mintfur, Rootspring, and Stonewing fighting of a pair of Kin cats Mintfur slashed a black tom well Stonewing and Rootspring worked together to hold a ginger and white she-cat.
Wrenpaw lunged forward to help Mintfur Wrenpaw swiped at the black tom's leg knocking the tom of balance giving Mintfur the opportunity to knock him to the ground the black tom flailed around desperately trying to get back on his feet but Mintfur and Wrenpaw pressed against the tom keeping him from getting back up.
Looking to her left Wrenpaw saw that Stonewing and Rootspring had kept the she-cat down well she squirmed around on the floor trying in vain to break free of there grip.
As Wrenpaw turned her head back she was meet with a slash on the face from the black tom Flinching in pain Wrenpaw staggered back in pain the tom tried to get to his feet but Mintfur was able to keep him on the ground. Recovering from the blow Wrenpaw grabbed the tom by his back leg freeing up Mintfur to hold the tom down by the throat and keeping him from getting up.
With the tom now pinned to the ground Wrenpaw was finally able to look around she could see that the clan cats were definitely winning now to her left Berryheart Frondwhisker, Tinycloud and Nectarsong were working together to push a group of Kin cats away from the nursery to her right Rabbitleap, Cherrytail, and Dovewing were chasing away a group of Kin cats out of camp and Infront of her Sunnypelt and Gullswoop were teaming up on a white tom.
" Retreat! kin retreat! " Wrenpaw heard many kin cats yowling as she watched Kin cats flood out from the Shadowclan camp Wrenpaw felt a gust of wind blow past her as the black tom her and Mintfur had fought off.
" Ya get lost of you useless mangy piece of dead fur" Pouncestep cursed as several Shadowclan warriors chased out the Kin warriors to make sure that they left for good.
Applepaw's point of view
Applepaw ran through the grass with the rest of the Windclan battle patrol Applepaw skidded to a halt with the rest of the Windclan patrol at the spot were the marsh ended and the River started that marked the Riverclan camp.
Scanning over the Riverclan camp Applepaw was able to make out the mass of kin cats had almost reached the Kin cats had almost reached the Riverclan camp.
Inside the Riverclan camp Applepaw could see the silhouettes of the Riverclan cats hiding in the reeds at the camps wall evidently Riverclan had seen the Kin patrol coming ahead of time.
" Everybody move forward" Harestar ordered with his tail the rest of the Windclan patrol followed behind him.
" Hay Flutterpaw"
" Ya?"
" Songpaw told me to wish you and your father good luck pass that on to Oatclaw"
" Thanks will do Applepaw" Flutterpaw replied as he ran towards the Riverclan camp.
As the Windclan patrol crossed the stepping stone towards the Riverclan camp she could here the yowls as the Kin patrol meet the Riverclan patrol the sounds of it implied that the Kin cats were taken aback by Riverclan anticipating there arrival.
Applepaw charged forward pushing through the bramble's and reed's feeling the sharp jabs of brambles thorns into her pelt and the wetness on her paws from the mud and the river water.
Applepaw burst her way through the camp wall Applepaw charged forward towards the first kin cat she could find. Looking in front of her Applepaw saw Dappletuft in battle with a very dark grey she cat. With as much speed as she could muster Applepaw slammed forward into the she-cat knocking her to her side the she-cat fell staggered from the blow as she prepared to retaliate with a swipe Dappletuft was able to swipe the she-cat across the cheek.
Dappletuft went in for another blow the she-cat rolled to dodge swiping Dappletuft across the face. Applepaw leapt towards the she-cat well she was distracted pining the she-cat by the hip well Dappletuft headbutt the she-cat in the chest knocking her to the ground.
Scrambling to her paws the she-cat bounded across the Riverclan camp wiggling her way through a hole in the camp wall.
" How did you know about the Kin patrol?" Dappletuft questioned.
" One of are patrols saw the Kin patrol coming through our territory.
" Well that's quite fortunate"
" Dappletuft a little help over here!" Applepaw heard Harelight yell from nearby.
" Coming Harelight" the gray tom bounded off across the camp to help his brother.
Applepaw looked around to see if there was anyone that she could help to her left she saw Breezepelt, Mallownose, and Lizardtail working together to beat back a group of 3 kin cats and to her right she saw Nightcloud battling 2 on 1 with a ginger she-cat and a striped brown tom.
Applepaw rushed at the ginger she-cat slamming straight into her knocking both of theme over freeing up Nightcloud to focus all her attention on the tom.
The she-cat swiped Applepaw's ear tearing a large gash to rip open enraged Applepaw retaliated by slashing at her belly the she-cat rolled out of the way to dodge with Applepaw only hitting her flank.
The she-cat retaliated with a kick to Applepaw's side recovering Applepaw turned and lashed the she-cat across shoulder the she-cat then bite Applepaw on her hind leg one still recovering from the wolf biting it.
Applepaw shirked in pain biting down on the she-cats leg violently the she-cat shrieked in pain violently clawing at Applepaw to get free. Grabbing the she-cat by the leg Applepaw began to swing the she-cat around on the ground letting her go the she-cat then flew across the ground rolling over several times.
Getting back to her feet the she-cat lunged forward at Applepaw she rolled out of the way to dodge Applepaw tripped the she-cat with her hind leg. lurching forward Applepaw pounced on the she-cat's back as she got back up Applepaw began to claw wildly at the she-cats back inflicting several wounds the she-cat rolled over quickly knocking Applepaw off of her.
Applepaw felt a searing pain as the she-cat landed several swipes around her chest and throat. Lurching forward Applepaw retaliated by biting down on the she-cats from leg stopping here from attacking the she-cat rolled trying to shake Applepaw off but Applepaw only gripped tighter both cats rolled across the camp splashing in to the reeds and water finally letting go.
Getting up in the shallows Applepaw slammed down on the she-cat who was still trying to get off her back.
Applepaw clawed ferociously at the she-cat's shoulder's keeping her down in the water as she tried to keep her head above water Applepaw continued to slash the she-cat across the back and side causing the water around them to stain red with blood.
The she-cat finally managed to break free emerging from the water the ginger she-cat bounded through the reeds and onto the ice Applepaw could see several other Kin cats fleeing to the other side of the River across the ice with Riverclan warriors chasing them out.
" Woo ya victory!" Applepaw yelled feeling in here mind that she had completely dominated The Children Of The Kin.
Flamestorm's point of view
Everything went numb around him everything just seemed to go slow every few seconds somehow toke both forever and went by in an instant.
Flamestrom didn't feel anything just a vague sort of numbness somehow Sleekwhisker jumping of the wolfs head and tackling Bramblestar into the snow seemed perfectly normal and not the absolute height of absurdity that the rest of Thunderclan and Skyclan must have seen it as.
" We can't fight them Skyclan Thunderclan everybody out of here!" Leafstar meowed disparately from the over edge of the clearing.
Flamestorm rose to his paws still struggling to comprehend what was going on around him all around Flamestorm he could see Thunderclan and Skyclan cats fleeing from the Thunderclan camp he could see that the Kin cats and Shadowmaw tackling Thunderclan cats to the ground he saw a massive cream and brown tom slam into Brackenfur as he tried to flee from the elder's den to his right a pair of kin cats had pinned down Molewhisker and Honeyfur.
Yet Flamestorm still didn't flinch he felt as if he had lost everything his father, his foster mother, his sister, his friend, maybe being taken the Kin wouldn't be so bad after all he already had lost so much what's the worse that could happen.
" Flamestorm! Flamestrom! you've got to get out of here now!" Flamestorm heard Shellfur yell from the edge of the Thunderclan camp looking up to the exit he saw Shellfur fleeing the camp with Eaglewing and Plumstone.
" Mom! mom! ware's mom!" the though of his mother shot through Flamestorm's mind. Flamestorm finally snapped into the gravity of the situation.
Energy surged through Flamestorm as the black tom began to bolt for the camp exit like a bat out of the Dark Forest.
All around him Flamestorm could see the Kin warriors around he could hear the sounds of Shadowmaw's snarling and barking and the horrifying sounds of his clan mates.
Flamestorm rushed across the Thunderclan camp the exit came closer and closer beside him Flamestorm saw Fernsong and the Skyclan warrior Reedclaw running beside him.
Behind him Flamestorm could here the paw steps of a Kin warrior running towards him.
The exit was now so close that he could make out the individual thorn's around the bramble wall with the last burst of energy he had in his body's Flamestorm burst through the camp exit and out into the snow and tree's of Thunderclan's territory. Looking behind him Flamestorm saw the kin starting in triumph as they had taken over Thunderclan's camp.
" Flamestorm! oh thank Starclan that your okay" Sparkpelt ran out of the crowed to greet Flamestorm.
Looking around the camp Flamestorm could see what was left of Thunderclan about half of the clan had made it out of the camp and looked like a truly miserable bunch thin scraggily and starving with fur matted and hanging from there pelt's all hanging there heads low and sickly.
But among all of the Thunderclan cat's Bramblestar was not among them Thunderclan was truly defeated.
