Shadows in the woods
Part 12: So, I'm a cat
Hey minsters! MISTERS?
Marty and Claw moaned as they slowly opened their eyes...only to see a handsome white tom kit with blue eyes.
Tom Kit: *perky* HI MISTERS!
...
Their startled screams awoke all in Rushclan Camp.
.
.
Windlistener: I apologies for River Though Cool Valley. He's quite a friendly tom kit,
Claw: *heart racing* VERY FRIENDLY INDEED.
The two heart's were racing as the Tribe Healer and head of the prey hunters bowed their head, their tribe behind them. Beside them was a group of Queens next to him, the same ones that had helped Marty and Claw a few days ago.
Marigoldstar: On a bright note, the young one has quite the energy. So i am sure he will be a very energetic hunter.
Icestar: *close to Beetlepaw* Indeed, we are very glad to see you here this dawn.
Claw and Marty looked over the tribe, noting the markings on them.
Marty: *to Claw* They must be descendant of the tribe in the book series.
Swiftshape (thoughts): Yep.
Marty: *to Claw* He confirms.
Claw: So, even the Tribe of Rushing Water has kin here in the states. Very interesting.
Windlistner and Bird both went over to the two, bowing their heads.
Windlistener: Greetings Claw and Swiftshape, we have heard of your names from the leaders and word has spread acrossed the winds on your arrive Rusher of Shadows. My name is Listener of the Enchanting Winds, *to Bird* this is my mate Flight of Small Bird. *back to the two* we are the Tribe of Swirling winds.
Both bowed their heads in respect.
All three: It is a pleasure to meet you two.
Marty: *to the Queens* And it's good to see you ladies again too.
Cinder: *nods* As to you all as well. We had run into the tribe and was told of the confirmation of meeting with the warriors of light.
Marty (thoughts): HOW MANY TITLES ARE WE GONNA GET? Guardians, Knights of the Sky, now Warriors of Light.
Mist (bluish/grey she cat): In any case, we must hurry before our foes catch wind.
Waspstar: Yes..*to the clans* EVERYONE, WE BEGIN OUR JOURNEY TO THE MYSTERIOUS HALL OF FAME!
.
.
.
Marty: Gotta say, this is going to be an interesting sight.
Marty was trotting next to Tigress and Claw, following behind the others.
Tigress: It quite deja-vu for me. We're taking the same route I took when I left Ruinclan.
Swiftshape: Very interesting. Perhaps the spirits of Starclan had helped you find you way to the Hall of Fame for this moment.
Tigress: Wouldn't put it pass them to do that...so, how are you going to explain this?
Marty took a breath, nodding.
Marty: Well Actually, I already told them. It was before we all went to sleep, I had to tell them the situation fully.
Claw: Oh boy.
Tigress: How did they take it?
Marty: They were, shocked-
Few hours ago, before they rested...
Marty: -S-So yeah...I'm both Swiftshape AND one of the Guardians.
..The clan leaders were stunned on what they were just told.
Swiftstar: *stunned*-Okay let me confirm this once again. YOUR A GUARDIAN TRAPPED IN A FELINE BODY WITH ANOTHER SOUL?
Marty: Yeah...I can get Swiftshape out to confirm.
Waspstar looked at her fellow leaders, who all nodded.
Waspstar: Let us speak to him.
Marty nodded as Swiftshape took over.
Swiftshape: Hey there...so, here I am.
Marigoldstar: My word, fascinating.
Thawstar: The fact you manage to live by having another soul inhabit you before your demise, this is astonishing.
Swiftshape: Yeah. Owe this kid alot, got another chance at life and a chance to join one of you guys like I always wanted.
Icestar: *warmly smiles* Well, despite how this situation is..QUITE a shocker, I am happy to see you are happy.
Waspstar: *Nods* Yes. This also gives us the story on how you know Claw so well. May i speak to the Guardian?
Swiftshape nodded as Marty took over once again.
Marty: Oh boy, if your reaction was anything my friends are going to blue-screen. Sorry for keeping this from you all.
Thawstar: Well this is quite a shocker, but we can see why.
Waspstar: Please, tell us your name,
Marty: My name is Marty Stevens, I just started Junior High School and I am a fan of the Cleveland Browns-
Icestar HOWLED in laughed, the others giggling confusing Marty.
Icestar: *Laughing* M-MY WORD W-WE'RE BEING HELPED BY A DOG TEAM FAN! *Laughing harder* THIS IS AMAZING!
Marty soon joined in, realizing the irony of the whole thing.
Present...
Tigress had to giggle as Claw shoke his head with a smirk.
Claw: K-9 is gonna laugh his head off with that.
Marty: Yeah, and then I told them all that happened; How I became a Guardian, the battles, everything. We all had a pretty good time. You think RZ can create an animal communication device, I really want to see you guys again.
Tigress: I am sure the clans would want to see you all too. If we are to be assisting eachother in the future as alleys, that would be a boon for us.
Swiftshape: YEAH! I wanna fight more of these guys with you all! I've been having a ball with this!
Claw: Oh shards you guys are already planing the future. Can we deal with Dr. Cray cray and his army of Cookoo claws.
They all laughed as they went closer to the group, conversing with the others.
Meanwhile...
Claw smirked as the carnage he made, the brown cat wickedly smiling as he looked around.
Claw: THIS. THIS WILL BE ENOUGH.
He went to a window, overlooking the outside world.
Claw: Not only will this end that pathetic panther, but this will show Wicked WHO truly is the next heir to Ruinclan.
He flicked his tail as his eyes gleamed RED.
Claw: *darkly* AND ALL I NEED IS THAT PANTHER'S MEGACORE.
Evening, HOK...
The Guardians were still wrapping their heads around the whole situation.
Troy: *Stunned* I am still amazed these guys are used to this despite it being a third time this happened.
Ash: I know...can you imagine how Marty will feel when he hears all this.
Tua: All I'm hoping is my little buddy is okay-
MEOW.
All turned to see a white she-cat with black tabby markings, looking like she was smiling at them. Next to her was a orange she-cat with black stripes. The two purred bu against the Guardians, making them smile as Ricky and Ish petted them.
Ricky: Why hello there, how did you two get in?
Ish: Maybe the vents, we got alot of vents here.
Both stopped as to answer, before leaping forward motioning their head.
Tua: I think they want us to follow them.
.
Troy: Okay, so it's outside but what's-
As soon as they opened the door, the Guardians were met with a parking lot FULL OF CATS. All sitting on the ground with smiles.
Ricky: *confused*..So what's with all the cats?
?: OH GOOD! YOU GUYS ARE SAFE!
...All froze at the voice as they slowly looked to the ground, seeing a golden fur cat smiling at them. A blue one with a crystal around his next was next to him as he blinked.
Blue Tom: Huh, seem they can understand just us.
The guardians had to stare at the two for a whole minute before it sunk in.
Guardians: *shock* MARTY? CLAW?
Marty: *nervous chuckle* Yeah So, I'm a cat.
Silence...
Troy's voice: *walks in* YOU GUYS NEVER TOLD US YOU CAN TURN INTO OTHER ANIMALS!
Claw: *ears fall with Marty* -sighs- Oh boy this is gonna be a long night.
To Be Continued...
This is going to be a FUN conversation for everyone ;)
