Chapter 6:

"I do." Replies Brambleclaw. Mousefur stepped forward.

"With this life I give you strength. Use it to help your Clan through all the hard times." She pressed her muzzle to his forehead and he shook with the surge of energy that poured through him. I remember when that happened to me. He remembered barely being able to stand as he took the powerful memories through him back when he first received his nine lives. Mousefur stepped away, leaving Brambleclaw gasping for breath. Tawnypelt left her seat in the line, and Brambleclaw looked at her with sorrowful eyes.

"Tawnypelt, im so."

"With this life I give you compassion," she cut him off," Use it to care for all those in your Clan, the sick, the weak, the old, the young, and the injured." He trembled with the ferocity as the life surged through him. When she moved, he looked up at her.

"Lead your clan well." She stepped back.

"With this life I give you protection. Use it to watch over your clan through all times, dark and light." Brambleclaw tensed, and Firestar got lost in his own world. He faintly heard Flametail give his life for forgiveness, Hollyleaf for loyalty, and Longtail for sight. When he saw Bluestar walk forward, he shook his head and paid attention.

"Brambleclaw, we journeyed together to find midnight, and to the tribe, where I found my true destiny. Now, you have found yours. With this life, I give you understanding. With it, understand the feelings and emotions of your Clanmates. Everyone has a reason for what they do. Its your job to understand." She leaned forward and he met her in the middle. His muscles tensed and he gritted his teeth, but when she leaned away, he looked older. Wiser even. Firestar stepped forward.

"Welcome, my apprentice, deputy, warrior. I leave the Clan in your paws. Lead ThunderClan into greatness, and you will always be right." He paused and looked into Brambeclaws eyes.

"With this life I give you faith. Always have faith in your warriors, your medicine cat, your deputy, and most importantly, StarClan. Without faith, there is no Clan, no Code, and no Warriors. All you have to do is believe, any you can achieve." He touched his muzzle to the younger cats. At once, he felt a rush as the cat viewed his life; him leaving the forest, training, becoming leader, killing scrouge, making the great journey, leading the clan into battle, and fighting for the clans against Tigerstar. All his pain, joy, sadness, and suffering poured out and flowed into Brambleclaw. As he backed away, he saw the younger cat gasp.

"I Hail you by your new name, Bramblestar. You are a new cat, who has received the approval of StarClan, and you are now the guardian of ThunderClan. Lead it well, look after all, protect your land and Clanmates, respect and honor the warrior code, have faith in your ancestors, live each life as its own with pride." He stepped back.

"Bramblestar! Bramblestar!" the cats chanted. He looked proud.

"C'mon Bramblestar, time to journey home." Firestar called. He led Bramblestar away.

"Must I leave so soon?" He asked Firestar. Bramblestar looked sad.

"The sun will rise soon. You must journey back to ThunderClan. You must show them you are the rightful leader." He replied. "You're more than capable to lead. Go home Bramblestar." Firestar turned and walked back to his clan.

-Bramblestars POV-

I woke up in a soft nest. Everything seemed normal at first, but it just didn't seem like home. I couldn't be home already, could i? Rising to my paws, I left the rocky den. Walking out into the moonlight, I saw the Highrock in front of me. Wait, the Highrock? Im back into the forest! It all looked as if it was untoutched. Every den still intact, the Highrock standing, even the walls were still standing. It was almost as if the Twolegs had never came.

"Wondering how you got here?" I heard underneath my paws. I looked down. Firestar looked back at me.

"Firestar!" I raced down the rocks that shifted as my paws hit, "Where am I? How did I get here?" Looking around, dazed, I waited for his reply.

"Well you're here because its time for your leader's ceremony of course. As to why they led you back to the old camp… I haven't the slightest idea." I looked up, suddenly filled with terror.

"Whats wrong?" he asked.

"It's just… what if I'm not a good leader? What if I fail the Clan? What if…" I lost my train of thought. Firestar shook his head at me.

"Would you quit all that? You'll be a fine leader. All your Clanmates believe in you. Now you need to believe in yourself." Hope surged through me. If my old leader believed in me, then I can do this!

"You really think so?" I asked quietly.

"I know so. Now come on, were wasting moonlight!" he replied and raced off.

"Same old Firestar." I thought. Better follow him. I sped off after him, leaving a thick dust trail behind. Speeding by, I called back.

"Too slow, old furball!" he suddenly sped up. Guess he didn't like my little joke?

"You know you should really let me lead. Im the one who knows where were going here!" I slowed down.

"fine. Where exactly are we going anyways?" I asked. I was exhausted. We'd traveled a long ways.

"To a place. You'll know when you get there." He turend and walked through the last bit of bramble before coming to a small clearing. I saw more cats. Oh StarClan, give me courage

Firestar went and sat next to Bluestar. I padded to the middle, scared as a cornered squirrel. All the cats rose and Firestar padded forward.

"Brambleclaw, are you ready to receive your nine lives?" He asked. I was baffled. Am I really about to do this?

"I do." I reply, bracing myself mentally for what is about to come. Mousefur stepped forward.

"With this life I give you strength. Use it to help your Clan through all the hard times." she put her muzzle to mine. I felt the pain of her life rip through me, how she struggled to hold on throughout all these years. Finally, the pain ended and she stepped away. When she did though, it felt as if something new was added to me, into my thoughts. A new cat suddenly stepped out of the ring. It was Tawnypelt! I looked at her, overcome with sadness.

"Tawnypelt, I'm so…" I began

"With this life I give you compassion," she cut me off," Use it to care for all those in your Clan, the sick, the weak, the old, the young, and the injured." When she stepped up to me, I tried to brace myself for the life. I shook as it passed through me. Soon though, it was over.

"Lead your clan well." She turned and padded back to her seat. I faintly saw Ferncloud come up.

"With this life I give you protection. Use it to watch over your clan through all times, dark and light." I tensed once again as the life coursed through me. Soon I zoned out. I still felt the pain of my next few lives, but I till remember what they gave me; Flametail gave me one for forgiveness, Hollyleaf gave me a life for loyalty, Longtail gave me sight so I could truly see everything around me. After he went back, Bluestar padded forward. Even though I had only known her for a short time, she was always kind and noble, and served ThunderClan until she died. He was unprepared for what she would give him.

"Brambleclaw, you have stayed loyal no matter what. Therefore, you deserve to gain this life. With it I give you certainty. Make decisions with clarity and focus, and you will lead well."she touched her muzzle to mine, and once again is was shook by the ferocity as I surged through Bluestars memories. When she stepped back though, I was surprised to see Feathertail leaving the ranks. She padded forward with a friendly look.

"Brambleclaw, we journeyed together to find midnight, and to the tribe, where I found my true destiny. Now, you have found yours. With this life, I give you understanding. With it, understand the feelings and emotions of your Clanmates. Everyone has a reason for what they do. Its your job to understand." He rocked back and forth on his paws as he went through this life. Afterwards, he shook himself, but he felt as if he were smarter. Wiser even. But, when Firestar padded up, he suddenly became nervous. Would he really be able to do this? Become a leader? Well, there was only one way to find out.

"Welcome, my apprentice, deputy, warrior. I leave the Clan in your paws. Lead ThunderClan into greatness, and you will always be right." He paused and looked into myeyes.

"With this life I give you faith. Always have faith in your warriors, your medicine cat, your deputy, and most importantly, StarClan. Without faith, there is no Clan, no Code, and no Warriors. All you have to do is believe, any you can achieve." He touched his muzzle to mine, and I felt a jolt as I was sent through the events of Firestars life. Him coming to the forest, battling Tigerstar, killing Scrouge, The Great Journey, even the Final Battle, as he killed Tigerstar in his last moments. When Firestar finally padded backwards, I gasped, feeling the pain release.

"I am the leader of ThunderClan." He thought. "I am Bramblestar!"
