ANYWAY, my S-T-U-P-I-D computer restated itself to install some stupid updates, so I'll have to type my WHOLE speech again.

Thanks for everyone who reviewed! I was very happy to see LOTS more reviews now that I posted that you should. PLEASE ALWAYS review! There is nothing more annoying than having 50 views and only 1 review. Thanks for the support everyone.

Responding to Reviews Section (this is something new I'm starting for every chapter, so people can feel more connected to me and the story; called RTRS for short):

xXJayfeatherRocksXx-Yeah, I was pretty mad, but now I'm completely over it. Glad you still enjoyed the chapter. I was feeling a little bit of writers' laziness. If you're a writer, I'm SURE you get that too.

mistystar123-Of course Mistyheart can come out as a kit. If you want her to be more of a main character, then she'll have to join Forestclan. But, if you REALLY want her in Waterclan, I can do that. Just tell me what you'd prefer.

Creekfur-thanks for the review! Hope you continue to enjoy me story!XD

COTC: How do you think Snowflake and friends will beat Rainstar if they still have less numbers?

First 5 reviewers with ANY sort of prediction (I'll even count it if you put this: 'It'll start raining ice cream so all the kittys will have a snack and then they'll forget about the battle and explode!') will get to name some warriors! You'll get to decide who gets what warrior name!

I am on a first come first serve basis, so the first reviewer gets to pick out of the following apprentices:

Smokepaw

Brightpaw

Jaypaw

Rushpaw or

Blackpaw

Yes, I KNOW THEY'RE ALL FROM THE EVIL RAINSTAR'S CAMP I DID THAT ON PURPOSE!

Extra credit for anyone who puts my example!

Recap: Snowflake, Whitestorm, and Bronzefur became warriors! And so did Quillfall and Silverfire! Briarstorm is now a full medicine cat! EXTREME PLOT TWISTS TO COME! Don't stop reading now! Oh and Brozefur joined Windclan.

IMPORTANT NOTE: CHAPTER 26 AND 27 ARE IN THIS!

Ch. 27 is a glimpse of life Rainstar's house. I HIGHLY suggest reading that part if you want to understand why he does things, because Snowflake won't ask too many questions...

Oh and I added a few peoples to Rainstar's allegiances!

Chapter 26: Wars to Wage

Snowflake felt a paw gently prodding her awake. She opened her eyes to see Hawkfire staring at her.

"It's time to go,"he murmured softly. Snowflake nodded and got up. Her pelt was all ruffled from sleeping in her nest. She shook it and gave herself a quick wash. It seemed like everyone was going, except the queens.

It'll be sad not to see any of them again, I've grown so attached to little Poolkit and her friends and siblings, Snowflake thought as she passed the nursery. Ferncloud was whispering something to Blazeheart, who nodded, and licked her cheek, then stood by the other waiting warriors. This time Thunderclan wasn't going to help.

"Well, I hope you can win this battle,"Birdfeather mewed with a slight tone of annoyance.

Yeah, good riddance to you too! Snowflake wanted to spit at Birdfeather, but held her tongue. Instead, the creamy she-cat mewed,"Thanks."and padded over to Hawkfire.

Smokekit wandered out of the nursery."You can't go!"he wailed loudly."Then I'd have no one to play with!"He ran over to Snowflake and buried his fuzzy little head into her fur.

"We have to go,"she meowed softly to him."I have to save my clan."

"Can't I save it with you? Can't you come back to Windclan and stay forever?"he mewed, his blue eyes full of misunderstanding.

"I must return and save my clan, and you can help Windclan by staying here and protecting it. Go on,"Snowflake nudged him. Smokekit nodded, but his eyes were full of saddness.

Snowflake recalled the days when she had played with all of the kits; all of them except Dustkit and Poolkit, who claimed they were too good for anyone but themselves.

"Ready?"Blazeheart meowed to all of the warriors. A bunch of cats meowed,"Ready."in response.

The cats trekked out into the cool morning air. The sky was a rosy pink, and was completely clear. What a shame such a pretty day is going to be spent battling our enimies, Snowflake thought.

They padded along the same open field, often running to gain more ground on the camp. Finally, when it was almost sunset, they stopped traveling to hunt and rest.

"Tomorrow we attack,"Blazeheart mewed commandingly.

"Hey,"Hawkfire meowed as he padded up to Snowflake."What to go hunting with me and Whitestorm?"

"Sure. You know what I just realized?"Snowflake mewed as she got up."There are eleven kits in Windclan, yet only nine warriors. What are they going to do about that?"

"Hmmmm...now that you mention it, they don't even have a medicine cat!"Hawkfire meowed loudly.

"What are we going to do?"Whitestorm asked thoughtfully."I know! Just appoint a new one!"

"Shut up Whitestorm, I'm being serious,"Snowflake spat to her brother."I guess then one kit is going to have to train as a medicine cat apprentice,"she shrugged her thoughts off.

The trio trekked through the long grasses. It was a warm evening and the birds were chirping in the field. Snowflake smelled a rabbit, and dashed off to catch it. Once she did, she brought it back to the temporary camp; underneath a large pile of rocks, in which those rocks were underneath a leaning oak tree. Cats went hunting for themselves for once, and everyone's bellies were full.

Snowflake sighed and leaned her head on Hawkfire's shoulder. The stars were glistening above."The night's so peaceful..."

"I know."Hawkfire's mew sounded troubled.

"What?"Snowflake asked.

"I'm just thinking, how are we going to win this battle?"he finally meowed after what seemed like a forever stretching silence.

"Good question,"Snowflake replied. How are we going to win?

Snowflake finally drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 27: Of Golden Times

"Starlingkit broke her paw! Starlingkit broke her paw!"a fierce mew sounded at the edge of the nursery. Starlingkit, the small gray and white she-cat, had tripped and twisted her paw very badly. The mother of Starlingkit picked her up and rushed her to Nettletail's den.

"Mommy it hurts!"she wailed to Silver, her mother. Silver was talking in rapid breaths to Nettletail, who was snapping at Starlingkit to be still. The small, wriggly little kitten didn't want to be still! Her paw hurt!

Nettletail finally started to assess the paw, mewing,"I'm so sorry Silver, but there's nothing I can do. Her paw is permanently deformed. The bone was weak and small in the first place."

"No!"Silver cried, clawing the ground furiously."Now my one and only kit is going to become a Weakling!"the mother wailed, and charged out of the nursery. Starlingkit shuddered at the thought of gaining the worst position in the clan. There wasn't any elders that had it worse, for they had none because they'd all died off. Silver had had a difficult time just getting Starlingkit to survive, and now her only offspring wasn't going to become a warrior.

What's going to happen to me? the kit thought in fear. Rainstar had come out of his den, his blue eyes bright with happiness at getting to torture yet another kit.

"The clan must gather! A kit needs to become a Weakling!"the powerful tom yowled, and the clan started to form. Sneers from all sides of Starlingkit made her think, Are all of the clans like this?

She slowly walked up to Rainstar."I am ready."she squeaked.

"No, you're ready when I say you are!"Rainstar roared, and smacked Starlingkit across her cheek, knocking her to the ground."Now, why do we make cats become Weaklings?"he addressed the clan.

"BECAUSE THEY DESERVE HARSH PUNISHMENT!"the clan cheered back.

"And why do they deserve harsh punishment?"Rainstar yowled. He chanted with the clan,"BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID, WORTHLESS, UGLY MONSTERS!"

"Now Starlingkit, you are now known as Beneath, to remind you that everyone else is above you, and you're the weakest in the world!"

"BENEATH! BENEATH! BENEATH!"the clan shouted. Beneath was dragged into the Weakling's cave, where she saw It, She, and all of the other weaklings. Beneath already had a nest for her, and she layed down on it, and sleep finally came to her.

The swirls of a beautiful forest surrounded Starlingkit. She started to pad through the soft grasses, feeling very warm and safe. There were beautiful green oaks on each side of her, the sun high in the sky. Suddenly, a gray and white she-cat appeared in front of her.

"Hello,"the larger cat meowed."I am Foreststar, welcome to Eternalclan."

"Am I dead? Are you going to hurt me?"Starlingkit asked nervously.

"Of course not! You're here because there IS a better place for cats; they are on there way to help you right now. I wanted to tell you, so you could warn Rainstar. Tell everyone,' A force more powerful than all of the oceans is coming; coming to stop the Rain, and make way for the Snow.'"

"Okay, Foreststar. Can I stay here?"Starlingkit meowed.

"Yes, for tonight. Your life will be drastically changed."Foreststar turned to leave, and mewed,"Oh, and see you at the battle,"

And so Starlingkit explored the Enchanted Forest, a place made by Foreststar herself.

Wow! What a sad and touching story about Starlingkit/Beneath. HINT HINT to what Foreststar said...

Well. I'm going to add 8 cats; a queen and her 2 kits, and 3 warriors and 2 apprentices to Rainclan.

Ready?

Warriors:

Sage-black and orange she-cat with white underbelly and yellow eyes

Honey-tawny colored she-cat with amber eyes and a black dappled pelt

Sierra-blueish gray she-cat with a small white marking on her chest; blue eyes

Apprentices:

Cherrypaw-white she-cat with amber eyes

Littlepaw-small white and ginger tom with amber eyes

Queens:

Corn-golden tabby she-cat with bright green eyes, mother of Wheat's kits, who are 3 moons old:

Moon-white she-cat with green eyes

Eagle-golden tabby tom with amber eyes

Love y'all, and "see you at next week's chapter!"

Thanks Foreststar!
