Maplepaw heard Crowfrost's threat and tried to break away from Olivepaw to stop him, but she wasn't a good enough fighter yet. Suddenly another cat pushed Crowfrost away from Lightpaw.

"Let her go!" yowled Goldenpaw, pushing him away from Lightpaw. Firestar, Dovepaw, Berrynose, Lionblaze, Brackenfur, Brightheart, Graystripe, Blossompaw, Dustpelt, Briarpaw, Thornclaw, and Bumblepaw followed him and jumped into the battle. "Stay away from Lightpaw." Hissed Goldenpaw. Crowfrost looked shocked to find Goldenpaw attacking him. Another former kittypet? Who was still an apprentice? He had to be crazy. Goldenpaw lashed out with his claws, and Crowfrost was shocked to find that the tom actually did know something about how to fight.

Crowfrost looked around, and noticed that the ShadowClan cats were being pushed back. Russetfur was now fighting Brambleclaw and Firestar. Ratscar was fighting Dustpelt and Briarpaw, Snaketail fought Thornclaw and Bumblepaw, Scorchstorm fought Lionblaze and Cinderheart, Redpelt fought Berrynose and Brackenfur, Shrewwhisker fought Graystripe and Blossompaw, and Olivepaw was now fighting Maplepaw and Dovepaw. Brightheart was helping Lightpaw. The ShadowClan cats were badly outnumbered. There was no way for them to win, but maybe if he killed this kittypet, it wouldn't be a total loss. He tried to fight Goldenpaw the same way he had fought Lightpaw, but he couldn't manage it. Goldenpaw was a much better fighter.

Goldenpaw wanted to go see if Lightpaw was ok, but Crowfrost was a fierce warrior. He couldn't get away, so he clawed at Crowfrost's ears.

"You'll pay for hurting Lightpaw." Growled Goldenpaw. He was doing well alone, and soon Lionblaze came to help him.

"ShadowClan, retreat!" yowled Russetfur. She had finally realized that ShadowClan couldn't win. "Retreat!" she called again, before running back toward the ShadowClan camp. The ShadowClan cats followed quickly.

"I'll get you kittypets next time." Crowfrost threatened, before he ran after the rest of his patrol. ThunderClan had won. Goldenpaw and Maplepaw didn't stop to think about their first victory. They both ran to Lightpaw.

"Chase! I mean Goldenpaw! You saved me. Thank you." Lightpaw tried to stand up as she said this, but fell back down with a gasp of pain.

"Relax. I think that leg might be broken. Don't try to stand up yet." Meowed Maplepaw. Cinderheart came over to see if Lightpaw was ok.

"Lightpaw, I'm so sorry! This is my fault, if I had been paying attention to you, this never would have happened! I'm not a very good mentor. Firestar should give you to another warrior." Meowed Cinderheart sadly.

"No, Cinderheart. You're a great mentor. That warrior was just really good at fighting. It's not your fault. You were fighting three of them at once. You are a good teacher, fighting isn't something I'm good at." Replied Lightpaw gently.

"We need to get back to camp. I'll finish the patrol with Lionblaze and Graystripe. Brackenfur, Berrynose, you will probably need to carry Lightpaw back to camp. I doubt she can walk on that leg. Make sure Jayfeather and Graypaw look at everyone, starting with all of the members of the original patrol. That includes you, Brambleclaw. Lionblaze, Graystripe, let's go." Ordered Firestar.
