I HAVE NO EXCUSES IM SORRY
Casper had sent out some of his cats to collect allies, most of them heading into the city, while he, Owl, Skyfur, and Ashtail went to find Frost's group of cats, and any other strays they could find.
"So, do you know where their camp is?" Skyfur asked, eyeing Casper. They'd been walking for a long while and hadn't seen a trace of the small band of cats.
The white tom didn't say anything.
"Y'know, it's probably not very productive to just wander around," Ashtail said.
"Maybe we could try and go back to the clans," Skyfur offered. "Now that the Ultimate Attack is drawing near, I'm sure they'd be more willing to help."
Casper sighed and shook his head. "No, we can't do that. They already sent you two, and that's more than we could've asked for."
They walked in silence for a little longer, before a familiar cat jumped into the way.
"Frost! Thank goodness, we thought we'd never find you," Casper said, chuckling a bit. "We've been looking for you."
"Have you?" The she-cat asked. "Do you need help?"
The white tom nodded. "Yeah, we do. You remember that we're a rebellion, right?"
"Yes."
"Yeah, and...well, our purpose is to end the dog's rule over cats. We've planned what we called the Ultimate Attack, a battle to end it once and for all," Casper explained. "We've picked up a lot of cats, but we still need more allies if we're going to win."
Frost nodded. "I see. I'd love to help, but I'll need to talk it over with my cats. Why don't you come along?"
She then nodded at Skyfur and Ashtail. "I don't believe we've met- I'm Frost."
"I'm Skyfur, and that bird-brain is my brother, Ashtail," The blue-ish one said, playfully bumping his brother's shoulder.
Ashtail grinned. "My idiot brother and I are from Thunderclan."
"I see," Frost said, grinning a bit at their anticts. "Well, come along. It's this way."
The pale-colored she-cat lead the rebels a little ways to a nice, sunny clearing, with 8 cats in it.
"Hello!" Frost called. "We have guests."
A sandy-colored tom, who Casper recognized as Mel, walked up to them.
"Hello, Frost," He said. Then, to the others, "Hi. It's good to see you again, Casper. I see you have some new friends, too."
Casper nodded. "That's Ashtail and Skyfur, brothers from the clans."
"Where's Torch?" Frost asked before Mel could reply.
"On patrol, I think," He answered.
The she-cat nodded. "I'll go get him."
As she took off into the trees, a pure-black she-cat sauntered over to the rebels.
"I suppose you're Casper, the leader of the Rebellion?" She asked, although it was obvious she already knew.
"Yeah, I am," He affirmed. "Who're you?"
"My name's Cinder," She said. "A strategist-warrior who has killed all her enemies."
"All of them?" Ashtail asked.
"Even that lead dog, Shard?" Skyfur continued.
Cinder narrowed her amber eyes at the brothers. "All besides him."
As they bantered, Casper realized Owl was no longer by his side. He looked around and saw her playing with 3 younger cats, no older than 15 moons.
"You're really nice, Owl," The grey male said.
"Yeah," The black-and-white female nodded. "A lot more than most cats."
The last one, the white-brown-and-rose female he'd seen before didn't say anything- just as before-, but nodded enthusiastically.
At that moment, Frost ran back in, Torch right after her. A little behind them was a tom, about Casper's age with mottled light brown and white fur, and a black-and-white Border Collie.
All the cats, save for a silver tabby, swarmed the dog upon seeing it, biting and yowling.
"No!" The mottled tom yelled, trying to throw the cats off, to no avail. "Stop, he's not with Shard!"
"How do we know?!" A black tom snarled.
"Because he saved my life!" The tom snapped, dispersing the violent crowd. "He's my friend."
The dog shook himself. "Sorry I caused such a ruckus."
Casper eyed him suspiciously. No dog he'd ever seen hadn't been violent and cruel.
"You two!" Torch yelled. "I told you-"
"Torch," Frost said, calmly but firmly. "Let them speak."
"Thank you," The tom spat. "I'm Perky, and this is my friend Sam. We're looking for our friend."
"What, another dog?" Cinder sneered, earning a glare from Frost.
"No," Perky growled. "An orange she-cat by the name Venus."
"Hey," Casper said. "I know her. She's in my Rebellion."
Perky narrowed his eyes, as if remembering something.
"Casper," He said. "You're name's Casper."
The white tom frowned. "How do you know that?"
"A friend told me," Perky said, squaring his shoulders. "She told me all about you, you back-biter."
"Venus?!" Casper growled.
"No," Perky growled back. "Spark."
"She knows nothing!" The larger tom shouted, leaping at Perky, who dodged him. "She is selfish and has no faith!"
"Stop!" Frost shouted. "Both of you! We are waring with the dogs, not each other!"
"Idiot," Casper spat, walking away from Perky.
"Back-biter," The mottled tom shot back, glaring at him. To Sam, he said, "Let's go. There's nothing for us here."
"But what about Venus?" The dog asked.
"What about her?" Perky hissed. "She's with Casper now."
"But she's your friend," He said. "Don't you want to see her?"
Perky eyed the other cats, who were staring at him. He hated being the center of attention.
"Fine," He growled. "But I'm not talking to Casper."
"Well, good," Frost said. "I think Venus will like to see you as well."
Casper walked over to Frost, glaring at Perky.
"Have you made your decision to help us or not?" He asked.
The pale she-cat nodded. "I have."
Casper's eyes widened. "Well...?"
"My decision is...to help you."
oOoOoOo
Spark woke to someone nudging her.
"What?" She croaked.
"Go," A voice- Shanal's- said. "Go, now."
Spark sat up. "What? Go where? And why?"
"Go," The rust-colored cat responded, her eyes wide. "To the base. Your allies need you."
"What?"
"I do not know why," She rasped. "But I know they need you. You must go."
"But you're my-"
"Go!" Shanal cried. "Go or they shall die!"
Spark jumped up and ran out of the den. She looked back hesitating for only a moment before bolting towards The Stones.
In case y'all couldn't tell, I lacked inspiration when writing this chappie.
Also, in case y'all couldn't tell, Owl's not on board with the UA. Also sorry for the cheesy name. xD
Hope ya enjoyed! Ultimate Attack starts next chapter, which will HOPEFULLY be out in two or three days. Have a wonderful day/night, and please review!
