Tumblepaw pov
Tumblepaw watched the leaders darted up the tree, straight away Bramblestar tried to slow Tigerstar down, Mistystar cackled madly and charged up the tree, she grabbed a leaf from the top and leaped off the tree not bothering to climb down, the apprentices waited for her with open arms. they caught the she-cat with amazing strength. they're amazing! Tumblepaw thought to smile at one of the she-cats, around her neck she wore one of his necklaces. Brightheart waked her tail into his head.
"I said, the apprentices are supposed to prepare their leader for the next round!" she hissed, Tumblepaw nodded and bounded off, Bramblestar was doing some stretches.
"what is the next challenge?" Tumblepaw asked, Bramblestar looked at Tumblepaw and opened his mouth, then closed it.
"I don't know," he said, Onestar climbed onto the great oak.
"The next phase is... HUNTING WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED!" Onestar shouted out, Bramblestar sighed, he had always sucked at this level, but good news! so does Tigerstar!
"YES!" Mistystar shouted Tumblepaw started cheering Bramblestars name in support, he stopped when no-one joined in. Bramblestar glared at his clan. they quickly began screaming his name and bouncing up and down, but the excitement from Mistystars crowd overpowered them. The three leaders lined up and waited for Onestar to drop his leaf, he padded forward, struck a pose and dropped the leaf. Mistystar speed to the nearest river her eyes closed, everyone followed, who would wont to watch Tigerstar or Bramblestar when they were still at the clearing. Mistystar got to the lake and shoved her head into the water. the clans waited a bit before she emerged with fish clinging to her face. she pawed them off and killed them. she had a nice pile of twenty minnows and an eel.
Tumblepaw watched in aw, she wasn't even in pain after fish sinking their teeth into her flesh, he smiled at the apprentice who was checking her wounds. She smiled back and Tumblepaw blushed. he padded forward and bowed down.
"Hi, my name is Tumblepaw," he said, the Riverclan apprentice nodded.
"My name is Dewpaw, and this is my boyfriend!" she said and pulled a cat to her side, the cat that Tumblepaw had thought was just a big boulder, the stoney pelted tom glared down at him, Tumblepaw quickly darted away before his neck could be snapped. like a twig.
"Okay Mistystar wins, I can't be bothered waiting for the other dudes," Onestar said and lead the group back to the clearing.
Sootpaw pov
Sootpaw watched Tigerstar and Bramblestar flounder around the clearing, paws outstretched and bumping into random objects. Sootpaw was the only cat who had stayed to watch the ShadowClan and Thunderclan leaders, and for this reason, Sootpaw had decided to 'help' Bramblestar, by sticking out his paw and tripping Tigerstar up every ten seconds. Sootpaw looked up when he heard loud cheering and boos from the direction Mistystar had run off. then Riverclan burst back into the clearing, Apprentices first, carrying Mistystar. one of the apprentices wore a necklace that looked like one of Tumblepaws.
"OK! MISTYSAR WON!" Onestar shouted over Riverclan's cheering.
"NEXT UP... BATTLING WITH ONE TIED BEHIND THERE BACK! But wait... there's a twist! the ultimate loser of this round has to do the next round, carrying JAYFEATHER, LIKE A KIT!" Onestar shouted and pulled Jayfeather out of the crowd. the medicine cat looked furious.
"No! I refuse-" Jayfeather was abruptly cut off by Onestar, who'd just shoved his paw in Jayfeather's mouth.
"OOOOWWWW!" Onestar screamed when Jayfeather bit down hard on his paw. Mousewhisker poked Sootpaw from behind.
"Hey, the apprentices have to go tie the leader's paw behind their back." Sootpaw's mentor mewed. Sootpaw grumbled and strode over to where Bramblestar was still trying to hunt with his eyes closed.
"hey, Bramblestar, the round was won by Mistystar," Sootpaw said, and unceremoniously pulled the tabby's front paw out from beneath him and pinned it behind his back.
"HEY! Why'd you do that?" Bramblestar complained, pushing himself up as Sootpaw tied the paw in place.
"you have to fight one-handed," Sootpaw said, producing a ball of Y.F soaked moss.
"wha-? I thought there was none left!" he cried and tried to snatch it away from Sootpaw. the black apprentice bit the leader's paw and held the precious drink out of his reach.
"you can't have it yet, it's illegal to drink or eat anything that boost's energy, but you can have it after you win," Sootpaw said and shoved Bramblestar towards the other leaders.
Honeypaw pov
Honeypaw edged closer to Hawkpaw, he smiled at her.
"Hello," he said, Honeypaw smiled back.
"hello-" she was cut off by Onestar.
"Leaders ready?" he asked, the cats nodded, "then let the fight begin! first up Mistystar against Tigerstar, Bramblestar will fight winner!" he shouted Riverclan cheered as their leader pushed her way into the fake arena.
"YOU WILL WIN!" Squirrelflight shouted from behind Honeypaw, she was shaking Bramblestar by the shoulders.
"y.f," he grumbled, Honeypaw turned back to watch Mistystar, the leader had already pinned Tigerstar down, he was trying to wriggle away, he finally managed to, he swiped at Mistystar but couldn't balance on his hind legs and toppled over, Mistystar bent down and used her head to ram him into a stone wall.
"I GIVE UP!" he groaned and ran away from the Riverclan leader.
"the winner of round one is Mistystar!" Onestar announced. Honeypaw didn't cheer, she hopped Hawkpaw noticed this.
"Is this your first gathering?" he asked Honeypaw, she nodded, "Pretty wild!" he commented, Honeypaw agreed. Bramblestar was shoved into the arena by Squirrelflight, he raced to the edge to get back out but Squirrelflight kicked him back. Mistystar glanced at Onestar.
"BEGIN!" he shouted and she lunged and closed her jaws around his neck.
"I GIVE UP!" Bramblestar squeaked, Mistystar smirked. her clan screamed with joy and flooded around her getting her prepared for the next level.
"next level is Ballroom dancing!" Onestar called, "and Bramblestar will be carrying Jayfeather!" he added, Honeypaw sighed. why does this guy suck? Hawkpaw leaned close to her.
"do you want to meet me tonight by the border?" he asked, Honeypaw nodded, the two sat close together chatting, no idea Sootpaw was watching.
Frostpaw pov
Frostpaw raced over to Bramblestar, who was lying on his stomach, crying.
"Hey, Bramblestar, get up. its just one round," she said and tried to untie his paw but the knot was to tight.
"Y.f..." Bramblestar moaned and sighed heavily.
"who tied this thing?" Frostpaw yowled in frustration.
"Guilty," Sootpaw said and pushed her out of the way, slicing easily through the rope.
"come on big guy, there are more rounds, but you have to win this one." Tumblepaw meowed, popping out of nowhere, and helping Sootpaw drag Bramblestar over to Jayfeather and the other leaders.
"I'm not a kit! I don't want to be carried like one!" Jayfeather huffed grumpily.
"too bad! you have too." Onestar said cheerfully and shoved him at Bramblestar.
"he's yours now, AND DONT DROP HIM!" Onestar shouted.
"who am I dancing with?" Tigerstar asked.
"Oh, did I forget to mention? you are each going to have turns dancing with me!" Onestar said clasping his paws. "first up is Tigerstar." he added.
"I've been practicing this for moons!" Tigerstar said excitedly and rushed to start.
during the first ten seconds, Tigerstar managed to stand on all of Onestar's paws and drop him on the dip.
"That was terrible!" Onestar complained, picking himself off the ground. "Bramblestar, your next."
Bramblestar was just as bad as Tigerstar, if not worse. he could barely move, holding Jayfeather in his jaws and kept falling over.
"okay, Mistystar, you better be a good dancer..." Onestar meowed. Mistystar performed exquisitely, outshining even Onestar, who had been the Windclan champion for five years running.
"Mistystar wins!" Onestar yowled and pointed at the Riverclan leader, who bowed.
"And the next round is.." Onestar said, pausing for dramatic effect.
