Chapter 23

One Moon later

Lionstrike woke up in his den. Today was the day of the big battle vs. the Dark forest. Lionstrike walked over to the nursery to see Darkcloud. She had recently kitted. She had Three kits. This first was named Silverkit, a Silver she-cat with blue eyes. Second was Nightkit, a black Tom with amber eyes. Third was Cougarkit a Golden tom kit with a black muzzle and green eyes.

Before he could walk in Tigerstripe called a clan meeting. Lionstrike walked over to where Tigerstripe was and sat down next to Bramblethorn.

Tigerstripe started to speak. "Today is a big day. We are fighting the Dark Forest cats. Everyone trained for this day, even if we didn't know it would happen. Today some cats will die. Some cats will live. We as a clan will fight beside Starclan. We Will beat the dark forest! This is our day. Our time to show the dark forest what we are made of!"

"YEAH!" Every cat shouted. This is it. The big day…But also the end of Leopardstar's life. Tigerstripe is so calm. He does remember our dad is dieing…Right?

"Wait I have a question." said Hawkclaw. "How do we get into Starclan?"

"We will sleep and they will bring us there. Leopardstar is already there. That's why I had to talk to you guys." Tigerstripe said. "Now everyone go to sleep and prepare for battle!"

"YEAH!" everyone said before going to their dens. Lionstrike caught up with Tigerstripe and Bramblethorn. Sandbreeze walked up to them.

"I am so proud of you….you all are fighting for your clan. After today everything will be different."

Yeah, we kill dark forest cats. Also dad dies. Everything will be different.

Sandbreeze continued. "Now go save your clan….My little heroes." She said then walked off.

Lionstrike walked into the warriors den than laid down. He eventually fell asleep.

-Line Break-

Lionstrike woke up in Starclan. Everyone else in the clan was there to. Even a lot of cats he didn't recognize. Starclan cats.

Moonstar walked up to him. "Ready to fight Scarstar?" asked Moonstar.

"Yes." said Lionstrike. "What do I have to do? I can't kill him."

"Yes you can. If you kill a cat that is dead, it is eliminated forever. It can never return."

"Wow…So all we have to do is kill Scarstar?" asked Lionstrike.

"Yes" said Moonstar. "But it isn't easy."

Just then Leopardstar walked up. "Good luck today Lionstrike. Tell your brothers that I hope they do well in this fight. I have to go….I love you son." Leopardstar then ran off.

"He said that because he is going to die…." Lionstrike mumbled.

"I Know…but lets go fight this battle…when Scarstar gets here of coarse." Said Moonstar.

"Y-Yes. Moonstar." said Lionstrike.

Scarstar walked into Starclan a couple minutes later behind him where a lot of cats. A lot of them looked viscous and ready to kill. Lionstrike shivered.

"Hello Moonstar, I'm ready to fight. Won't this be fun?" Scarstar said.

"Scarstar, you can still stop this. This battle doesn't have to happen!" Moonstar said.

Scarstar laughed. "My warriors came here to fight."

"They lost the privilege to be warriors when they became evil!" Moonstar said.

"Whatever.." Scarstar muttered. "Fight my warriors! Fight!"

All the cats charged. Cats were crashing into each other and fighting. It was crazy.

Lionstrike ran around the battlefield. A couple of cats pounced on him. He scratched and clawed them and knocked them to the ground. He ran off again looking for his brothers. He came to a stop when he saw Tigerstripe. He was being clawed and blood was scattering everywhere, from Tigerstripe and the three other cats that were fighting him.

Lionstrike ran over and knocked the three cats from his brother. Tigerstripe got up nodded and mouthed "Go find Bramblethorn"

Lionstrike ran off. He fought many other cats before he found Bramblethorn. He was fighting with Hawkclaw to beat three huge cats.

Lionstrike joined them and attacked the cats. Lionstrike took out one. While Bramblethorn and Hawkclaw got the others. Lionstrike motioned Bramblethorn to follow him. They ran and found a horrifying sight.

Scarstar. Leopardstar. Blood.

Scarstar killed Leopardstar.

DUN DUN DUN Cliffie.
