AN: Before I continued this chapter of the story, I really wanted to wait for reviews and see what you think but I had some spare time and I thought I'd work on another chapter. Everything seems to be going bad, doesn't it? Well, let's see just what happened to the cats of the prophecy shall we? Enjoy!

-Faded ;3

P.S. Also, as a side note before we begin, to explain the double spacing and why there are dashes instead of the full lines, I am uploading this on my IPod's Notes app. I can't do the full lines on here and when I do just one space between the lines, it creates two on the Fanfiction documents. Anyways, enjoy! :3

Ember- Chapter 4: The Fight

"We got ambushed!" A silver she-cat with a black spot over her left eye meowed.

"By who, Jinx?" Lady seemed to be handling the situation well and the she-cat looked fairly calm already.

"By a dark blue-grey tom with really dark amber eyes and..." Breeze recognized this cat as Eternity, the cat tasked with controlling death. He was feared by all, or at least what he controlled. "There was this dark ginger tabby tom with fiery amber eyes as dark as the first." Breeze glanced at Celestial, recognizing this as Spike, the Ancient of war. Celestial looked worried. "There were three more cats there, a dark brown tabby she-cat with a missing eye though the other one was a dark amber, like the rest, a scarred snowy white she-cat with dark green eyes, and a really dark ginger tom with a black tail tip and dark amber eyes." Breeze recognized this last cat as her brother, Blaze.

"Blaze, why would you do this? Don't you understand? We're trying to save you, not destroy you!" Breeze whispered, stricken.

Breeze felt a tail tip brush her shoulder. "I feel the storm is growing stronger. I am sorry about your brother Breeze." Shadow's voice comforted Breeze. "But let's listen and see if we can find anything else out about our..."

Breeze could tell Shadow didn't want to hurt her with the fact Blaze, her brother, was now an enemy. But Breeze had resigned herself to that fact. She would have to forget who her family was, and just fight against whoever was against her like any other random tom or she-cat. "Enemy." Breeze finished, her eyes darker than usual.

"How did they ambush you, Jinx?" Lady asked, but it wasn't Jinx who answered.

It was a dark gray she-cat who answered this time, her twisted claws digging into the ground and her green eyes focused. "They sprung from the bushes in front of us as we pushed our way to what we thought was the exit of this place. We were quickly surrounded and it was only the fact that we thought this was some normal ambush that saved us. We rarely use our powers outside unless we are in severe danger or just messing around, and so we just fought with our teeth and claws and we think that took them by surprise. We were able to use that to our advantage, and escape."

A loud yowl echoed from the bushes, accompanied by the loud pawsteps of several cats running. "I swore they went this way!"

Celestial looked at the cats, and Breeze could tell she was worried. "I can take only four back at a time. I will take you three and another first, seeing as you three haven't used your power as much as everyone else, I'd guess."

Every cat looked to Shell, and he glared back at them. "I can hold my own in a fight, take someone else who needs it."

The dark gray she-cat looked at Lady. "Come with us, sister. You have as much control over shadows as we do. Let us for once hand the fighting to some cat else."

"Widow, I can protect myself here. It's fine." Lady protested.

"Come with us, let us spend some time alone just as sisters." Widow meowed softly.

Celestial nodded. "Shadow, since you have the most experience with leading cats, if it comes to a fight, and I'm gone, you lead them. I will support you in any decision you make."

Shadow nodded, and the four, along with Celestial, disappeared in a bright flash of light. "Alright. Who doesn't have an ability? You are going to go next." After no cat said anything. "No special power to fight, that is."

Steele stood up first. "I do not have any power."

"I only have the power to protect myself." Shell meowed.

"Listen, every cat, this does not mean you cannot hold your own, it's just that they have far more power than us, and any cat without one to fight is likely to get killed." Shadow clarified.

Falcon stood up, but did not speak.

"No one else. Okay. That's good enough. The next trip will allow everyone to be safe. Shell, if it comes to a fight before you three can leave, use your power to protect yourselves. One of these cats is an Ancient, and the rest of them more powerful than you'd guess." Shadow ordered.

Breeze dug her claws into the dirt, steadying herself for a fight.

The cats were just outside of bursting into the clearing as Celestial appeared again. "Just go!" Shadow yowled, hoping to speed up the process so no cat would get hurt. The cats burst into the clearing.

"Hello traitor." Blaze spat, and Breeze looked up to see that it was directed towards her.

"Blaze." Breeze didn't say anything more, choosing to not argue with her brother. It was tense enough as it was.

"You are the stupid she-cat that killed me, aren't you?" The snowy white she-cat asked Shadow, her eyes narrowed.

"I will not allow any cat to take over my Clan, especially an evil tyrant such as you Snowstar." Shadow meowed, perfectly calm.

"Hello Twisted. Fancied a nice stroll, did you?" Gray meowed, licking a paw.

"I will make you regret that, you witch!" Twisted, who Breeze assumed was the brown tabby she-cat with an missing eye, growled.

"We are all witches and warlocks in the Fellan, whether our speciality be in a different place." Myra meowed lightly.

"I'm going to enjoy killing you both. I never did like you anyway." Twisted hissed.

"Et maledicam maledicentibus tibi, Gray, et quod ab his repetita Myra, venefica, quod fieri potest." Eternity hissed.

"I curse you Gray and Myra to be killed by the Twisted Witch, whatever may happen." Gray translated. "Well, that's cheery." She meowed, and a ball of light exploded above Eternity's head.

"Stop this tomfoolery now! We have a job to do and that is to make sure Celestial doesn't stop this war!" The dark ginger tabby yowled.

There was instant silence amongst the group. "Where is Celestial?" Spike growled.

"How are we supposed to know? She never showed up! We wanted to become Curatrics (Guardians, a spell Myra knew to summon a guardian to help her) of you Ancients and she was supposed to tell us how, but she never came!" Myra bluffed.

"It was terrible!" Breeze agreed.

As they spoke, a blood red tom slowly appeared behind Spike. "It was so protego (protect, an instruction in Latin to the Curatric she summoned) of her!" Myra frowned. "Hmm, that wasn't the right word, was it?" She mused. "Tribus (On three)." She paused. "Hmm, that's not it either! Tres! (Three!)"

Every cat sprung into action, at least on Breeze's side, knowing at least some of the Ancient tongue. Light exploded against Eternity from Gray, keeping him well distracted. Shadow fought against Snowstar, but they were the only ones to have a normal fight, just using claws and teeth. They rolled through the clearing, biting and scratching each other, as if it was their final battle. Myra fought Twisted, summoning her own blade of light to fight Twisted's shadow one. The guardian Myra summoned was clawing at Spike's neck, blood already staining its fur. Breeze knocked over Blaze with a single gust of wind, and blew out every flame he sent at her with another gust. She couldn't allow herself to hurt her brother so she only protected herself, fighting fair and carefully, knowing what she could do if she tried. "Blaze, I am not a traitor. I am only trying to save you from this war! This war will kill so many cats, Blaze. Maybe even Mist and Vale, or Leaf!" Breeze meowed as she defended herself from the balls of flame that were flung at her.

"You lie." Blaze spat, trying to break free of the air bubble he was trapped in. She pulled the oxygen out of the bubble, until he fell unconscious. She let go of the bubble and her brother could breathe again, only he wouldn't try to hurt her this time.

"I'm sorry Blaze. It's for your own good." She whispered, before running in to aid Myra, who's spell was fading fast. A strong gust of jar slammed into Twisted's side, throwing her off balance, and making her lose the concentration she had to keep to keep her shadow blade.

"Somnum. (Sleep.)" Myra whispered, and Twisted fell onto her side, unconscious. "Thanks Breeze." Breeze nodded, smiling.

Myra ran to help her Guardian, who was in danger. Breeze ran to Gray, who seemed to be falling back. Wind sliced through Eternity's pelt, pushing him back and allowing Gray to knock him unconscious with a large ball of light that exploded against his head. Breeze's eyes searched for Shadow, to see if she could help her friend, but Shadow was already padding towards Spike, ready to take him on alongside the Guardian and Myra. A bright flash if light announced Celestial's arrival. Breeze, Gray, Myra, and Shadow ran towards Celestial, the Guardian fending Spike off until they left. "Celestial!" Spike roared, throwing off the Guardian.

But they disappeared in a flash of light, just in time.

AN: A bit shorter than usual, but it seemed best to end this chapter there. I will take your reviews into consideration, I promise, though I will be uploading and writing these whenever I can, so I'm sorry if I write these without seeing your review first. By the way, that was Latin you saw from Myra, or the ancient tongue. I am using Google Translate to translate, so sorry if the translations are bad. I will put them in italiacs so you know when Myra is saying a spell or just talking. And I will have the translations in parentheses next to it. But I do hope you enjoyed this chapter, seeing how some of our characters fight. Hope you enjoyed!
