You have to remember that Scourge doesn't know Tigerclaw is his new name, only the name when they meet once.
Meeting
"Ravenpaw, you know what to with intruders, right?" asked Tigerpaw. The small cat nodded, shaking.
"Y-you're s-suppose to teach them a lesson." Tiny can hear them talking now he is on a lower branch. He glanced at the gray cat next to Rusty, who was shaking and whispered something to the cat next to him. The orange kitten widen his eyes and began to back away.
"Then teach the kittypet now." Ravenpaw took a running start and jumped, right on Rusty's back. The housecat rolled to his back like he did to the other kitten, making the black kitten let go and grasp for breath. Rusty got off and looked back at the much bigger tom, wary.
Tigerpaw growled. "Weakling, I'll show you how to teach a kittypet." He padded up to his younger brother, making him shook with fear. The huge tom was about to hit Rusty when Tiny snarled. The forest cat only had the chance to see he was attacked from above. The former Bloodclan leader immediately strached the brown pelt, making the tom screeched. He felt the tom rolling, forcing to him jump off.
Tigerclaw rolled, feeling the cat jump off. He jumped and faced his enemy, making him gap. It was a small black cat which looked about eight moons old with one white paw, icy blue eyes and a scar on its left ear. Its small claws were dripping with his blood. The mere thought of being beaten by someone smaller than him was unacceptable, as he is a senior warrior of Thunderclan. His back fur bristling, he bared his teeth and pounced.
"Tiny!" yowled the orange kit.
The kit, Tiny, took a step back. Good. The tom landed right next to his opponent and grabbed he, or she, by the scuff and was about to shook the cat hard when he felt its small claws poking at his neck. Mousedung! Tigerclaw dropped the black kit and was about to swipe it when a yowl stopped him.
"Tigerclaw! Stop!"
His leader stepped out of the bushes with Lionheart.
"What is going on here?!"
"I was going to teach that kittypet where he belongs, when this rogue attacked out of nowhere", hissed the tom in front of him. At the edge of his eye, he could see Rusty crouched with the forest kit. He proceeded to copy as Tigerclaw talked with the familiar gray cat. He didn't see her talking to the two kits and gave Ravenpaw a worried glance.
"Sit up now, all three of you! You too, kittypet, rogue."
Bluestar commented on Rusty's hunting skills and mentioned that she had been watching him.
"R-really?" His little brother stammered.
"Bluestar, this is a kittypet. He should not be hunting in Thunderclan territory. Send him home to his Twolegs!" the yellow tom with a tuft of fur on his neck mewed with insistent respect.
"Send me home? But I've only come here for a mouse or two. I'm sure there's enough to go around." Tiny hissed.
Bluestar-maybe she was Bluefur, dad's friend and the one who saved me? No time to think about this.-whose head was turned to Lionheart to acknowledge the cat's words, snapped back.
"There's never enough to go around. If you didn't live with such a soft, overfed life, you would know that!"
Tiny stepped in between his kin and Bluestar. The she-cat had her face front of him, with Rusty whimpering behind. "I-i'm sorry."
"Sorry doesn't cut it! You threaten our clan when you take our food. You already have enough in your Twoleg nest! You came only for sport when we hunt to survive!"
The whimpering stopped, but Tiny still held his gaze at the angry she-cat and towering toms.
"I had never thought of it that way before. I am truly sorry. I will not hunt here again."
The cat blinked before sitting.
"You are an unusual kittypet, Rusty, and you are an interesting rogue, Tiny."
The gray kitten sighed in relief as Tiny broke his gaze, and stepped back.
"Is survival really hard here?"
Bluestar shared a glance with both warriors before answering. "Our territory only covers part of the forest. We complete with other clan for what we have. And this year late newleaf means prey is scarce."
"Is your clan very big?"
"Big enough. Our territory can support us, but there is no prey left over."
"Are you all warriors, then?"
This time, the golden cat answered. "Some are warriors. Some are too old or too young or too busy caring for kits to hunt."
"And you all live and share prey together?" Rusty asked in awe, with guilt flashing though his eyes.
Bluestar, once again, looked at Lionheart but also Tigerclaw. Lionheart nodded while Tigerclaw scowled hesitantly before nodding.
"Perhaps you should find out these things for yourself. Would you two like to join Thunderclan?"
"But kittypets can't be warriors! They don't have warrior blood!"
The she-cat's eyes dulled. "Warrior blood. Too much have been spilled lately", she said in a low voice. Lionheart continued for her.
"Bluestar is only offering you training, kit. There is no guarantee you will become full warrior. It might prove too difficult for you. After all, you are used to comfortable life, unlike your older brother."
Rusty look hurt and shared a glance with his brother. Tiny gave him an encouraging nod.
"Then why offer me the chance?"
"You are right to question our motives, young one. The fact is, Thunderclan is in need of more warriors."
Lionheart gave him a warning. "Understand that Bluestar does not make this offer lightly. If you wish to train with us, we will have to take you into our clan. You must either live with us and respect our ways, or return to your kittypet life and never return here. You cannot live a paw in each world."
Tiny look at his brother, whose eyes seem excited, also appeared hesitant.
"May I think about your offer?"
Bluestar looked at him then Tiny. "And you?"
"I will go if he goes."
The gray cat was about to say something when one of the toms nudged her. "We've been out here for too long. We have to go back to camp soon. Lionheart will be here tomorrow at sunhigh. Give him your answer then."
She murmur a signal and all five cats disappeared into the bushes.
Wow, I actually wrote a lot for a non-sequence chapter. Oh, and K changed to T for the battle and especially the later battles.
