The huge badger lifted Onestar high above its head then threw him across the battlefield, took one look at Mudclaw and kicked him into the main battle.
Brambleclaw wasn't scared, not in the least.
'Hallo, Midnight.' He tried to smile.
The badger dipped her huge head to him and lumbered back into battle.
Brambleclaw, rejuvenated, ran at some WindClan cats fighting Firestar and clawed at them vigorously.
Brackenfur ran to Tawnypelt's side. 'Are you OK?' She just groaned. 'You need to see Leafpool.'
Crowfeather, the stupid so-and-so, had injured her badly. She was soaked in blood and losing strength quickly. Leafpool came up. 'Bring her to my den.' She mewed gravely.
As Leafpool walked through the entrance, she was greeted by a shocking sight. The camp was full of RiverClan warriors and being pulled apart. 'HELP!' she screeched at the top of her voice.

Brackenfur turned at the cry. 'Leafpool?'

As the rest of the warriors (and Midnight) streamed in, forcing RiverClan out, Brambleclaw felt dizzy. So Onestar and Mudclaw have Mistyfoot. That's whyRiverClan have turned against us. He cursed and, suddenly exhausted, limped into the medicine cat's den...
