Chapter 21: The last one..
Stormpaw rolled across the floor, his head aching from the blow from Clawpaw who had been hiding while he had been preoccupied with Redpaw and Swallowpaw. He put a paw on his head, feeling for blood, there was a slight scratch on his ear, which was dripping with blood from time to time.
He looked up his hazel eyes catching Ravenpaw fighting Redpaw, and to give her credit, really well. She jabbed the Darkclan apprentice's tendon and he dropped to the floor, with a steady stream of blood coming from the new wound. Ravenpaw looked pleased but suddenly she was knocked out of the air by Ratscar. Who started to beat her up mercilessly. Stormpaw tired to get to his paws, feeling a little out of depth. But he was quickly knocked over by a thunderclan warrior who ran past him.
Stormpaw narrowed his eyes. I'm one of the five, I can't give up like this! He leapt up and looked around for an opponent, he found Ratscar with his claws on Ravenpaw's neck, cutting off her air. She was growing weaker, her struggles becoming more and more badly aimed and hopeless. Stormpaw bunched his muscles and sprang.
...
Songpaw waited in the camp, she sat beside Dovewing, who gave her an occasional lick. The remaining thunderclan warriors chosen to protect the camp were sitting in a straight line, waiting for the inevitable. However all Songpaw could think about was her vision, when she saw Swiftpaw die. In the vision they had been battling Darkclan, and it was a night full of rain and lightning. So far it hadn't rained for a half a moon.
"Thank Starclan, the clouds look like they're about to bring rain." Dovewing mewed quietly looking up at the sky.
Songpaw slowly edged her eyes to the clouds, her heart went in her mouth, the clouds were dark and were grumbling with faint thunder. Then, a tiny spot of rain landed on her nose, making her shiver, not due to the cold but because straight after that lightning lit up the sky. Her vision was coming true.
...
Ravenpaw coughed, a trickle of blood dripping out her mouth that was open wide in an attempt to get some air. But Ratscar's claws were pushing down on her windpipe, slowly suffocating her. Her vision started to become consumed by black dots that blurred her vision until she saw multiple Ratscar's again. Ravenpaw felt her claws sheath, she knew it would all be over soon.
Suddenly a furious Stormpaw leapt for Ratscar, clawing his eye so a long scratch made blood block his eyesight. Ratscar yowled in agony, and shook him off. He glared at Stormpaw and suddenly his eyes were full of fear. "It's you... the wolf..." but Stormpaw interrupted by clawing Ratscar's flank but the Darkclan warrior easily pushed the already weary Stormpaw away, her brother rolled away into the bushes. Ravenpaw's eyelids fluttered as her last grip on life was ebbing away.
Without warning a young fox leapt out of the nearby bushes, Ravenpaw tired to cry out, it probably had been drawn to the battle because of all the cat bloodshed. The fox glared at Ratscar, who growled at it, not releasing his grip on Ravenpaw. Ratscar raised his hackles trying to warn off the young fox. It wasn't much bigger than Ratscar, however it looked enraged.
Ratscar's ears went back as the fox came closer, finally he released his claws from Ravenpaw's neck, hungrily she sucked in as much air as her starved lungs could handle and coughed up a slight bit of blood. Her vision cleared and she looked up to see Ratscar in the fox's jaws. He desperately clawed at the ground trying to get his back leg out of the fox's jaws. The fox bit down hard snapping bone, and resulted in a yowl of agony from Ratscar. The fox let go of him, Ratscar couldn't move though, his back leg was snapped in half. The young fox grabbed Ratscar's neck in his jaws and without any thought, snapped his backbone.
Ravenpaw stared wide eyed as Ratscar's limp body fell to the floor, her breath coming in rapid gasps. She looked at the fox, waiting for it to kill her. It never did. She looked into its eyes and found the fire had died from them, but a worrying thought came over her. The fox's eyes were brown, hazel like. Much like her brother's. She didn't have time to say anything before the fox ran back into the bushes and did not appear again.
...
Songpaw stared up at the sky in horror, it was raining and lightning was making an appearance every so often. The pictures of Swiftpaw kept flashing in her head, she couldn't bare it!
Dovewing cried out and it snapped Songpaw back to reality, Nightcloud sprinted into the thunderclan camp, letting out a battle cry, followed by many more Darkclan cats, luckily they weren't outnumbered. A paw hit Songpaw, she looked to see Lionblaze urgently shouting at her. "Go and tell Bramblestar that we're being invaded. If he can spare anyone send them!"
Lionblaze quickly launched to attack Applefur without checking she had heard, but Songpaw ran out of the camp anyway, heading towards the sounds of wailing and ferocious hissing. She ran like her life depended on it, her tail streaming out behind her and legs fully extended eating up the ground. Lightning flashed making her jump into the air in surprise, the loud noise erupting from the fighting warriors grew louder until she stopped dead.
Spiderleg was being battled by Harespring and another Darkclan cat, both aiming for his neck, the thunderclan warrior was bleeding heavily and looked badly beaten. Bramblestar was being clawed by Dogfang and blood was rushing out of a wound on his flank. Everywhere she turned cats were on their last legs. A scream pierced the air and Songpaw whipped around to see Swiftpaw being knocked to the floor by none other than the cat in her vision. Nightpaw.
Swiftpaw yowled in agony as the black apprentice dragged his claws down her side.
...
Wolfpaw felt his side being penetrated by sharp claws, he hissed at the black apprentice who was his opponent. He looked much like Breezestar and would have been a copy of him if it weren't for his slightly longer fur and white tipped tail. He recognised Mysticpaw from the day he Ravenpaw and Lionblaze snuck into Darkclan to find out they were taking in rouges and training them as warriors. One of which was now their deputy. Wolfpaw snarled at Mysticpaw who lunged for his neck and clawed his back with long, curved claws. Wolfpaw being bigger and stronger knocked him to the ground with a swipe of a forepaw. Mysticpaw slid through Wolfpaw's legs and kicked him in the stomach, Wolfpaw went into the air, and landed with a thump. Wolfpaw was picked up and thrown by a larger warrior who had joined the fight. Wolfpaw felt himself become sticky with blood, and closed his eyes waiting for the killer blow.
A scream filled the air.
Swiftpaw.
Wolfpaw's eyes erupted open burning with a new intensity, Mysticpaw came charging to him but Wolfpaw slid out his claws and ripped one of his ears open, as for the warrior he launched into his chest and dug his claws into his neck, the warrior fell.
Wolfpaw wasn't concerned about what he had just done, he kept running to the screeching but suddenly he collapsed. He looked down at his pelt to see it was covered in blood, hardly any of his fur could be seen. He touched a paw to his neck, to find a huge hole. His head drooped to the ground and he looked at his front legs, covered in claw marks.
Wolfpaw closed his eyes in agony, being too wounded to reach his sister and he was about to die. Wolfpaw opened his eyes. I should have died by now.. and why aren't I in pain anymore?
He looked at his legs, it was impossible. They were healed. The blood still there but the claw marks gone, leaving soft fur where a huge scratch was moments before. He touched his neck wound. It wasn't there anymore. Have I healed?
Wolfpaw stood up, expecting his legs to be wobbly but found them strong. He had a new burst of energy and not a single scratch.
Swiftpaw screamed again.
Let's see what happens then...
Wolfpaw pelted to his sister who was about to have her neck shredded to pieces, Wolfpaw filled with rage, his claws unsheathed and he kept building up his speed. The cat was Nightpaw and his paw was lowering down to his sister's neck, another cat held her still so when the paw did reach her it would be perfectly aimed. Wolfpaw narrowed his eyes and leapt into the air, at the same time a bolt of lightning illuminated his fur, turning it to white, making him look like something Starclan had sent. Nightpaw turned and saw Wolfpaw sailing through the air, with the lightning behind him. The odd eyed apprentice gaped in shock and snarled at Wolfpaw.
Wolfpaw yowled in rage. "Don't touch my sister!"
His claws found the target, Nightpaw's neck and they sliced a small cut in his fur. Nightpaw was knocked to the floor by Wolfpaw's powerful leap, Wolfpaw slashed his face leaving a deep scratch, Nightpaw shook him off but not without Wolfpaw giving him some serious wounds. Wolfpaw shook his head, scattering blood but slowly felt the scratches to seal themselves, he would focus on the impossible later, right now he had to save his sister. He leapt onto Nightpaw's back, tearing fur off the black apprentice's shoulders.
Nightpaw leapt into the air and crushed Wolfpaw as he rolled onto the floor. And then leapt onto Wolfpaw, having his turn at clawing Wolfpaw's skin. All the knowledge of his previous opponent's moves filled Wolfpaw's mind, teaching him everything instantly. He remembered how to do the moves perfectly and imitated Nightpaw's previous move like he had done it all his life, throwing the Darkclan cat off. Wolfpaw slid under Nightpaw's legs just like Mysticpaw earlier, wrenching one from under the apprentice, possibly twisting his paw. Wolfpaw flipped up and stood panting, watching as Nightpaw shrunk away in fear.
Wolfpaw's head burst with all the moves he had seen in the battle, he took a look at his pelt, all the scratches that Nightpaw had given him were gone, healed.
The silver apprentice turned to see Songpaw staring at him with wide eyes.
"You're the last one...you're one of the five..."
...
Swiftpaw streaked across the battle, going at a jogging pace, which just seemed like she was really fast to other cats. She didn't want to wear herself out like last time. Her green eyes caught on a black Darkclan apprentice, who was pummelling Dewpaw. She sprinted over, and knocked the black apprentice down, she shouted a quick order to the beaten up Dewpaw to run and turned to face her opponent. A warrior had joined him and snarled at Swiftpaw. She grinned and spat at the two, mocking them. They tried to hit her but using a reasonable amount of speed she dodged each blow, grinning the whole time. Good luck catching me boys..
She leapt onto the warrior and shredded his ear, before leaping down to give Nightpaw a good blow, she couldn't help but remind herself of Songpaw's warning to not try to attack Nightpaw, but she rolled her eyes as the slow apprentice tried to snatch her but failed. Swiftpaw chuckled, they could never catch her!
Suddenly she was proven wrong when she was knocked to the ground. The warrior dug his claws into her pelt, keeping her still while Nightpaw stood above her, his claws glinting in the lightning.
Swiftpaw screamed as he raised his paw, ready to slice her neck open. "Don't touch my sister!"
Swiftpaw's eyes widened when Wolfpaw yowled his battle cry, leaping high into the air. Thunder made his entrance even more impressive and lighting flashed behind him, making his pelt turn into white and shadowing his face in darkness. Only his eyes glinted and the tips of his claws.
As he yowled thunder rumbled making him sound like a lion, and making Nightpaw freeze in fright. Her brother barrelled the apprentice over and launched onto his back, clawing him like and expert, Nightpaw forward rolled to shake him off and after leapt onto her brother. But Wolfpaw tensed his muscles and a shadow came to his eyes, he copied Nightpaw's roll like he had taught it to the Darkclan apprentice, getting it completely right even though he had never learnt it before. Nightpaw was crushed and fell off.
Wolfpaw snarled at him, looking far more formidable and stronger. Swiftpaw looked at him in amazement, she swore he had been badly clawed but now there wasn't a scratch on him, all there was were the blood stains on his pelt. Nightpaw gaped up at him before slinking away into the battle out of view.
Songpaw came running forward. Her aqua eyes were bright and shocked. "You're the last one... you're one of the five.."
Well, were you expecting that!? Since he is Lionblaze's son Wolfpaw was always going to have a battle related power, but it couldn't be the same so I made him able to remember any battle move he's ever seen, so when fighting he knows how to fight perfectly, only having to see a move done once and he can do it himself accurately. Also he can heal, quicker than normal cats so he can be wounded and continue fighting!
And who was the fox that saved Ravenpaw?
Till next time!
