Here we go again! Who's ready for another chapter?!

Chapter 12: Rage of a Hero

It had been a moon since Firestar and Tigerstar fought in the tunnels of the Old Forest. Firestar, Sunnypelt, and Boneclaw were out hunting together. Firestar asked, "Boneclaw. How are you adapting to Clan life?" Boneclaw answered, "Honestly, pretty damn well. Bellaleaf has been a phenomenal mentor to me."

Firestar purred and said, "Glad to hear it. Are you and her getting along?" Boneclaw nodded and said, "It was iffy at first, but now she and I get along wonderfully." Firestar smiled and said, "Good."

Firestar, Boneclaw, and Sunnypelt had all caught a decent amount of prey and they returned to Skyclan. After they had dropped their prey off in the Fresh-kill pile, Firestar asked, "You two up for some exploration with me?"

Sunnypelt said, "You already know I am down. You're stuck with me, love." Boneclaw chuckled and said, "Yeah. Count me in. Where are we going?" Firestar answered, voice full of hidden confidence, "To Thunderclan's old camp. I need to check some things out."

Sunnypelt's eyes widened and she asked, "Why do you want to go there?" Firestar answered, "I need to check for anything that might lead me to Tigerstar. You and I have been in Skyclan for seven moons now. I want to find him sooner, rather than later." Firestar looked up towards the sky, his voice hiding sorrow. Sunnypelt sighed and said, "I see. Alright. Lead the way." Boneclaw nodded and Firestar went to tell Leafstar where he was going.

Firestar waited outside Leafstar's den, waiting to be invited in. Leafstar mewed, "Come in, Firestar." Firestar padded in, expecting to see Leafstar in a position to be mated. Firestar's eyes widened as he saw Leafstar sitting on her mossbed.

Firestar purred, happily surprised and said, "I will be heading to Thunderclan's old camp here in the Old Forest with Sunnypelt, Ragnar, and Boneclaw." Leafstar said, "I see. I assume you three finished your hunting patrol?" Firestar nodded and Leafstar continued, "Good. With Leaf-fall getting closer, I am glad we can stock up on prey." Firestar nodded and said, "We should be back before nightfall. Also, I am glad you're working on yourself like I requested." Leafstar nodded and said, "Dismissed."

Firestar padded out of Leafstar's den and padded toward Sunnypelt and Boneclaw. Firestar said, "Let's go. Stay close." Firestar hollered, "RAGNAR! GET OVER HERE!" A pale-orange she-cat with green eyes padded over. Bellaleaf said, "Be careful, Boneclaw. Don't go dying on me." Firestar stifled a purr of amusement and Boneclaw mewed, "Of course. Couldn't leave you Boneclaw-less forest, now could I? That'd be pretty shitty of me."

A larger cat with thick black as night fur walked out of the Warrior's Den. Ragnar said, "You called, Slayer?" Firestar looked toward the Warrior's Den and said, "I did. You're coming with Sunnypelt, Boneclaw, and myself to the old Thunderclan camp." Ragnar opened his mouth to argue, but Firestar interrupted, "Maybe you can steal some alcohol from the Twolegs." Ragnar's eyes lit up at the word of alcohol and he immediately mewed, "Count me in."

Sunnypelt, Boneclaw, and Bellaleaf looked at Firestar, curiosity clear in their eyes. Sunnypelt asked, "What is alcohol?" Ragnar answered, his mouth salivating at the mention of alcohol, "The best damn thing in the world. Sex is almost as good as it." Sunnypelt blushed and said, "I don't know about that. Firestar and I haven't mated yet. However, from his and my past experiences, I think sex would be the best thing in the world."

Firestar coughed and gently scolded while blushing, "Sunnypelt, seriously?!" Sunnypelt mewed, "What? I'm just being honest!" Firestar blushed more and shook his head in disbelief. He thought to himself, 'I can not believe she just said that out loud!' Boneclaw chuckled and said, "Looks like you're going to have your paws full with her, Firestar." Firestar grumbled, his face red as the blood of fresh-kill, "Shut it."

Sunnypelt asked Firestar, "So, what is alcohol?" Firestar asked, "You serious? You actually wanna know?" Sunnypelt nodded and Firestar sighed in defeat as he said, "Alright.". He explained what alcohol was to Sunnypelt, Boneclaw, and Bellaleaf.

Bellaleaf said, "Oh! I see. Got it." Ragnar said, "Like I said. The best damn thing in the world. Makes the pain go away, helps you get laid, shuts the mind up, etc." Sunnypelt mewed teasingly, her eyes glinting with mischief, "Maybe I should try it. I wonder where it'll get me." Firestar said seriously, "It's up to you, but do be careful. We aren't twolegs and we are much smaller than twolegs, so its effects will hit us harder and quicker." Boneclaw said goodbye to Bellaleaf and the group of four cats headed toward Thunderclan's old camp.

A Couple Hours Later:

Firestar, Sunnypelt, Ragnar, and Boneclaw arrived outside of Thunderclan's old camp. Firestar said quietly, "Stay low. We don't know what is out here waiting for us." Ragnar nodded at the order and Sunnypelt tasted the air. She whispered, "Strong scent of Bloodclan." Firestar muttered, "Balls."

Ragnar asked, "What's the plan, Firestar?" Firestar answered, "Don't die. And if the worst comes to be, you and I will Rip and Tear, until it is done!" Ragnar flexed his paws, making his claws pop out of their sheathe and growled eagerly, "Sounds like fun. Count me in, Slayer." Firestar nodded and said, "Let's do this."

Firestar, Ragnar, Boneclaw, and Sunnypelt walked into the old Thunderclan camp. Firestar looked around and saw several rogues with metal claw tips surrounding them. Firestar spat, "Bloodclan. Where is Tigerstar?" A large, battle-scarred black tom with metal claw tips answered, "Like we'd tell you. However, thank you for bringing the traitor to us. If you hand him over to us, we will allow the rest of your group to leave peacefully."

Boneclaw spat, "Firestar won't be handing me over to anyone! We aren't here to make friends!" Firestar chuckled as the wind blew past him, causing his fur to flutter, and answered, "Boneclaw is right. I won't be handing him over to anyone. He is a member of Lionclan now. And a clan looks out for their own!" Firestar's pelt ignited with white flames as he finished his sentence. The tom looked at Firestar and chuckled as he said, "This should be fun. Bloodclan! KILL THEM!"

Ragnar leapt into the fray first. Boneclaw followed Ragnar's lead and landed next to Ragnar. Firestar said, "Stay safe, Sunnypelt. Don't you go dying on me." Firestar bolted toward the large battle-scarred black tom and clawed its flanks.

The tom hissed in pain and retaliated with a claw. Firestar growled in annoyance as the toms bit deep into his flank. Firestar dashed back and shot forward, digging his claws into the tom's fore legs. Blood sprayed from the wound and landed on Firestar.

Sunnypelt dodged a she-cat's claw, heart fluttering as the claws missed her neck by a mere hair-length. Hundreds of battles and she still couldn't shake off the near misses. The next few seconds of their exchange were fruitless for both parties, both far too nimble to land a deciding blow to make the other retreat.

Firestar dodged another claw and his eyes widened in fear as the tom's teeth were a mouse-length from his throat. His heart began to beat faster in fear as he barely evaded the blow, forgetting that his body healed any injuries in a flash of fire. Firestar blocked another strike and hissed in pain as the tom's metal claw tips bit deep into his forelegs. Blood streamed slowly down Firestar's forelegs and he taunted, "You call that an attack?" as he shook his forelegs, sending a splatter of blood toward the ground below.

Firestar smirked as the tom began attacking him angrily. Firestar barely dodged an attack headed for his throat. Firestar retaliated with a flaming claw that dug deep into the tom's side. Blood sprayed onto Firestar as he clawed his opponent.

The tom yowled in pain as its wound caused by Firestar was cauterized. Firestar smiled with glee and knocked the tom to the ground. Firestar got on top of the tom and placed the tom's head between his paws. Firestar began to apply pressure to both sides of the tom's head with his paws and struggled to crush the tom's skull. The tom's yowls of forgiveness fell on deaf ears.

Ragnar had made one of his opponents retreat and turned his gaze to his next opponent. He heard the wind rushing behind him and he sidestepped the attack from behind him. Ragnar whirled around and closed his paw as he punched them in their throat. They coughed in pain and fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Ragnar growled, "Coward!" Ragnar looked toward Firestar and saw him on top of his opponent, attempting to crush their skull.

Firestar's heart had begun beating faster as he tried crushing his current opponent's skull. Firestar roared, "ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!" and used all of his strength. Firestar felt the tom's skull slowly give way underneath his paws and he roared. The tom's skull that was below Firestar exploded in blood and brain matter as Firestar's paws slammed together. Blood coated Firestar's face and chest and he laughed, unbothered by the death he had just caused. His heart was pounding so fast, that if someone had tried to hear his heartbeat, they could hear it.

Firestar's eyes wandered to his next opponent and he licked his lips as he leapt toward them. Sunnypelt watched Firestar jump toward his next opponent and she evaded another strike from the she-cat she was fighting. Sunnypelt hissed in annoyance and raked her claws down the she-cats flank. The she-cat hissed in pain and retreated. Sunnypelt looked at the tom that Firestar had killed. The tom's body was missing its head and blood spilled from the missing appendage. Sunnypelt's eyes widened and she muttered, "Damn it."

Firestar heard the wind rushing from his side. He whirled around fast as a rabbit fleeing from predators, and deflected the claw heading for his throat with one of his forelegs harshly. Firestar chuckled manically as he felt the she-cat's foreleg snap clean in half. She howled in pain and Firestar watched the she-cat writhe on the ground in pain. He licked his lips and chuckled as he said, eyes filled with bloodlust, "Thought you could land that attack eh? I got some bad news for you, Princess." Firestar emphasized the word Princess to belittle the she-cat. The she-cats eyes filled with rage. She couldn't get to her paws and Firestar laughed. Firestar continued, "You are not as good as you think you are." Firestar walked over and slashed the she-cat's throat two times to ensure the job was done correctly. Ba-boom Ba-boom Ba-boom Ba-boom That sound continued to speed up to an unhealthy speed with every single movement Firestar made.

Ragnar was facing off with a large calico she-cat when he heard something. He listened closer and heard Ba-boom quietly. He couldn't pinpoint the source and felt claws rake his flank. He felt the claws bite deep into his flank. Scarlet fell to the ground below him and Ragnar turned his attention back to the she-cat. She spat, "Pay attention to the battle at hand, or killing you will be far too easy!"

Boneclaw had been pushed back to Firestar. The two tom's tails touched each other and Firestar whirled around, ready to defend himself. Boneclaw could audibly hear Ba-boom Ba-boom Ba-boom coming from Firestar. Boneclaw yowled, "FRIENDLY! I AM AN ALLY FIRESTAR!"

Firestar was about to slash the cat in front of him, unable to recognize them, when the masculine voice yowling reached his ears. Firestar thought to himself, 'B-Boneclaw? Damn it, Firestar! GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF! YOU'RE ABOUT TO KILL A FRIEND! SNAP OUT OF IT!' Firestar couldn't stop the attack, no matter how much he tried to fight the urge. Firestar thought to himself, 'Damn it! I can't get control of my body! SUNNYPELT! HELP!'

Boneclaw's eyes tracked Firestar's attack and Boneclaw avoided the attack. Boneclaw's eyes traced the battlefield, the sun almost blinding him. He saw Sunnypelt defending herself from two cats. He hollered, "A LITTLE HELP SUNNYPELT! FIRESTAR'S LOST IT!" Boneclaw pelted toward Sunnypelt and hissed, "I will deal with them! Get your mate under control before he kills everyone here, friend and foe alike!"

Sunnypelt separated herself from the two cats attacking her and Boneclaw took her place. Her eyes wandered around the battlefield, trying to spot Firestar. She saw Firestar slaughter several members of Bloodclan. She heard Ba-boom Ba-boom Ba-boom Ba-boom originating from Firestar's position. The sound was repeating faster and faster as Firestar kept moving around the battlefield.

Ragnar heard that noise again and finally pinpointed it to Firestar. Ragnar growled in annoyance as he realized what was causing him to easily hear Firestar's heart beat from several fox-lengths away. He growled, "Damn it Firestar! You're gonna have a heart attack at this rate! Your heart has got to be beating at least three-hundred times a minute! FUCK!" Ragnar avoided a tom's bite and he hollered, "SUNNYPELT! CALM FIRESTAR DOWN IMMEDIATELY OR HE WILL DIE! HIS HEART IS BEATING FAR TO FAST! I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES! WHETHER HE NEEDS TO HEAR YOUR VOICE OR HE NEEDS TO MATE YOU HERE AND NOW TO CALM DOWN, GO FOR IT! HE WILL ONLY SURVIVE AT MOST FIVE MORE MINUTES AT THIS RATE! HIS HEART IS RACING! IT'S GOTTA BE BEATING AT LEAST THREE-HUNDRED TIMES A MINUTE, IF NOT MORE! IF YOU CAN'T CALM HIM DOWN, HIS HEART WILL LITERALLY EXPLODE OUT OF HIS DAMN CHEST! DO IT NOW, OR HE WILL DIE!"

Firestar kept sprinting around the battlefield, killing any who dared get in his way. He could feel and hear his heart beat at this point. Firestar went to eliminate another enemy when he heard a feminine voice behind him. "Firestar. Sweetie. Listen to me. Listen to the sound of my voice and calm down." said the voice. Firestar whirled around ready to kill the source of the voice. He approached the silhouette of a cat, killing intent visibly radiating around him.

Ragnar yelled, "Boneclaw! Back to back around Sunnypelt! We need to defend her while she gets through to Firestar's dumbass! Worst case scenario, Firestar will help us defend her as well! Because he will recognize her! ON ME!" Boneclaw hollered his acknowledgement and the two toms got back to back beside Sunnypelt. Ragnar growled toward Sunnypelt, "Get him under control, NOW!"

Sunnypelt stood her ground as Firestar raised one of his paws to slash her throat. Firestar swung toward her throat. Sunnypelt didn't move and smiled as she saw the glint of Firestar's claws a single hair-length away from her. The force that Firestar swung his paw with caused Sunnypelt's whiskers and chest fur to flutter from the wind hitting her.

Firestar swung toward the silhouette in front of him, ready to slash its throat, when his paw stopped a mere hair-length from its throat. Firestar's vision cleared and he immediately understood why his paw had stopped. The voice said, "There you go. Now you're starting to understand. Look around you, love." Firestar looked around him and saw two other silhouettes of cats defending him and Sunnypelt. Firestar's vision cleared more and he recognized Ragnar and Boneclaw. His vision fogged up just as quick. Ba-Boom Ba-Boom Ba-Boom Ba-Boom Ba-Boom Ba-Boom went Firestar's heart, still speeding up even though it had already surpassed dangerous speeds. Every second that passed, everyone could hear Firestar's heart beat several times.

Sunnypelt mewed, "Come back to me, Firestar. For the love of Starclan, come back to me! You're stronger than the voice in your head saying death, murder, and kill! And you know you are! I promise, if you come back to me and calm down, you will lay eyes on the ones you love again! You know your paw stopped for a reason! AND THAT REASON IS BECAUSE YOU'D NEVER HURT THE ONES YOU LOVE! COME BACK TO ME!"

Firestar's gaze cleared and fogged up several times as Firestar struggled to regain control of himself. He focused solely on controlling his breathing and movement, attempting to calm himself down. As Firestar struggled to fight against his overwhelming bloodlustThe area around Firestar, Sunnypelt, Boneclaw, and Ragnar began to shake as Firestar growled, "I….I will not… be… controlled by m….my b….bloodlust…. I….. I refuse….. Too hurt….. To hurt the ones I love once again." Firestar struggled to put his paw down, but he managed after a few seconds. His heart had begun to slow down, but it was still beating at dangerous speeds. Sunnypelt sighed in relief, but gasped as Firestar shot backward and slashed a tom's flank. The tom hissed in pain and whirled around to attack Firestar.

Firestar slammed his foreleg down on one of the tom's hind legs. It hollered in pain and fell to its knees. The tom's head shot back as it fell to its knees. Firestar swiftly snapped the tom's neck and shot toward Sunnypelt. Firestar sat down, letting his vision clear and his heart rate slow down, focusing solely on Sunnypelt.

Ragnar sighed in relief and said, "Good work, Sunnypelt. Keep him calm and keep talking to him, we need to get his heart rate to a safe speed. Focus solely on him. Boneclaw and I will hold them off. Several of Bloodclan's members have retreated after seeing Firestar's barbaric kills. For fucks sake, if I was them, I too would've retreated. There are cats hanging by their entrails in the trees for fuck's sake! Make sure he does not attack anyone else. Boneclaw and I can hold the rest off easily now."

Sunnypelt looked toward Firestar and said, "Easy love. You're covered in the blood of our enemies'. Let me clean you up a bit. Don't you claw me. Save that for later." Sunnypelt walked over to Firestar and began to lick his pelt clean.

Firestar listened to the rhythmic licking of Sunnypelt's tongue on his pelt, thus giving him another thing to focus on aside from battle. He purred quietly, heart rate dropping. Firestar's muscles and shoulders relaxed as Sunnypelt kept licking his pelt clean of blood. He yawned and slowly began to lay down. Firestar closed his eyes as he fully laid down, letting the sound and feel of Sunnypelt licking his pelt clean lull him to sleep. Firestar's body ignited with white fire once more as it healed his wounds.

Once Sunnypelt was certain Firestar was asleep, Sunnypelt got to her paws. She turned toward the five remaining members of Bloodclan in Thunderclan's old camp. Ragnar's breathing was irregular. Sunnypelt watched him sway, but he managed to catch himself. Several dead Bloodclan members were around Ragnar. A couple of the dead members of Bloodclan around him, were still going through death throes.

Boneclaw made another Bloodclan member retreat and looked toward Ragnar. Boneclaw's breath got caught in his throat. Boneclaw pelted over toward Ragnar, having to jump over the bodies of several members of Bloodclan. The once beautiful Thunderclan Camp was now stained with the consequences of war. Sunnypelt looked around and the battle stopped. Everything was quiet, for just a moment.

Sunnypelt hissed, "Boneclaw, take Ragnar and get behind me! Stay close to Firestar to protect him as he rests! I will handle the rest of these bastards! I got some demons to sort out, afterall!"

Boneclaw heard a different tone in Sunnypelt's voice than usual. Her voice was cold, calculated, and teeming with controlled rage. Sunnypelt flashed an innocent smile and said, "Wish I could say I was sorry for what's about to happen to all of you. But that'd be a lie. I got some shit to sort out as the Twolegs say."

A member of Bloodclan argued, "But your sacred Code. You can't kill….." Sunnypelt interrupted the she-cat and said, "Five times. You all tried to kill one of us at least five times each. So your argument is invalid. I will send at least one of you to the Place of No Stars."

Ragnar spit a mouthful of blood to the side of him and growled, "Sunnypelt. Don't do it." He struggled to speak normally, his words being interrupted with a cough, "If they must die, allow me to do it. Don't stain your paws. I am still technically a rogue, so I do not follow the Warrior Code exactly. Killing someone is much different than killing prey, and taking the life of someone will change you permanently! DON'T DO IT! DO YOU THINK FIRESTAR WOULD WANT YOU TO DIRTY YOUR PAWS?!"

Sunnypelt ignored Ragnar's words and hissed, "So, who's first to this gathering of death?" No one stepped forth and Sunnypelt sighed as she growled, "Fine. I'll come to you." The sun vanished behind a cloud, giving the battlefield a dark and gloomy atmosphere. Sunnypelt's muscles bunched in anticipation as she thought of a plan. Once she was satisfied with her plan, she hissed toward the Tom closest to her, "You're first."

Sunnypelt shot forward and clawed the tom's flank deeply, hissing, "DEEPER! I NEED TO MAKE THEM PAY!" Sunnypelt's claws bit deep into her opponent's body, causing blood to spray onto the brown grass below her. She growled, "About time someone restored some color to this place." The tom hissed in pain, and retreated from the battlefield. Sunnypelt grumbled, "What a bitch."

Sunnypelt heard the wind rush behind her and she evaded the attack gracefully. Sunnypelt evaded several attacks and dashed backward. She hissed and blitzed the she-cat. Sunnypelt landed several attacks against the she-cat and ended her assault with a claw upside the she-cat's head. Sunnypelt felt the she-cats skull fracture below her paw and the she-cat fell to the ground, unmoving. Sunnypelt looked toward her next enemy. The persian tom gulped in fear, seeing how Sunnypelt quickly dispatched of his clanmates.

After another thirty minutes of battle, only one opponent remained. The rest had fled in fear after they grabbed their unconscious clanmate. Sunnypelt spat, "Looks like you're the lucky winner! Your prize is death!" Sunnypelt's teeth were gritted, face red as the blood splattered on the ground. The ugly, heavy set tom tried to bargain with Sunnypelt.

He pleaded, his voice getting slightly higher, "Please. Let me live, and I will join your clan and lead you directly to Tigerstar. Come on. I know where he is! I have seen your prowess in combat, so I know not to betray you! Come on! You'll never find Tigerstar otherwise!"

Sunnypelt thought for a moment and leapt toward the tom. She pinned him to the ground and raised a paw, claws out. The tom pleaded for his life, but it fell on deaf ears. Sunnypelt slashed towards the tom's neck, but her paw didn't move. She muttered, "The fuck?"

Sunnypelt's heartbeat had become irregular, same with her breathing. Her paw was shaking. She had begun sweating profusely. Sunnypelt struggled to slash the tom's throat. She put her paw down for a moment, trying to collect herself. She heard Ragnar say behind her, "Like I thought. You've never killed before." Sunnypelt spat, "Shut it!"

Sunnypelt turned her attention back to the tom she pinned below her. She placed her claws next to his throat and hissed, "How should I do this? Quick and easy? Or do I make you suffer first?!" The tom gulped and said, voice shaky, "Quit stalling, bitch!" Sunnypelt hissed, "Fine!" She lifted her paw and slashed the tom's throat, but her claws had retracted back into their sheathes. The tom coughed as Sunnypelt slapped his throat.

Sunnypelt hissed, "The fuck?!" The tom laughed and Sunnypelt applied pressure to his throat with a paw, causing him to choke, and hissed, "Shut the hell up!" Sunnypelt raised her paw again and double-checked that her claws were out. She saw that her claws were out and immediately began sweating again, her paw shaking. A masculine voice behind her mewed, "Don't do it Sunnypelt. You're better than that! I, on the other paw, am not." Sunnypelt turned around and saw that Firestar had gotten to his paws.

Sunnypelt mewed, "Y-You should be sleeping! W-Why are you awake?" Firestar answered, "Boneclaw and Ragnar woke me. They told me the situation. So. If you think that tom deserves to die, allow me to do it. Don't stain your claws." Firestar padded over and sat next to Sunnypelt and the pinned tom. He mewed calmly, "Lift your paw up a bit, Love. You're killing him." Sunnypelt obeyed without hesitation and the tom gasped for breath.

Sunnypelt asked Firestar, "W-Why won't you let me do it?" Firestar answered warmly, "Because, you're too pure and innocent to kill someone. Hence the hesitation your body showed. More than usual for a first kill. Your claws retracted as you did slash his throat, so you just slapped the poor bastard. Your body and mind knows it's wrong to kill and they will do everything in their power to make sure you don't kill him. I, however, am not too pure and innocent to kill someone. Do you want him dead?"

Sunnypelt thought for several seconds and answered, "I..I don't know!" Firestar forced his claws out and lifted a paw over the tom's throat and said, "At your command." Sunnypelt mewed, "W-Why at my command?"

Firestar chuckled and asked, "Want the short or long version?" Sunnypelt answered, "The short version." Firestar mewed, "Because I am your monster. No one else's. I do not think anyone else in my harem could have tamed the monster within me as well as you have. So, I am your monster. If you want to say it the other way, I will. I am your beast. Do you understand?" Sunnypelt nodded and said, "I think I do."

Firestar asked, "Good. So. Is he dying here and now? Or is he dying on another day?" Sunnypelt thought for several moments and got her answer. She answered, "Here and now. He tried to kill each of us at least five times. He can not be trusted." Firestar immediately slashed the tom's throat twice to ensure the job was done. Firestar quickly covered Sunnypelt with his body to prevent blood spraying onto her. Blood sprayed from the tom's throat, coating Firestar's back. Once the blood had stopped spraying, Firestar uncovered Sunnypelt.

Firestar mewed, "It's finished. Let's head home. You good Ragnar and Boneclaw? Ragnar, you look like hell, and Boneclaw, we just slaughtered some of your old clanmates."

Ragnar replied, "Yeah. I'm fine. Just a few new scars were added to my collection of scars. I am in better shape than the ones you decided to decorate this place with." Boneclaw announced calmly, "I am no longer a member of Bloodclan. I am a member of Lionclan. Bloodclan is my enemy. I am fine."

Firestar mewed, "Good to hear." Firestar looked around, taking in the scene. He sighed as he saw several cats hanging from the trees by their entrails and joked somberly, "Looks like I decorated the area a little bit. Looks better this way. More colorful." Ragnar grumbled, "Oh yeah. Looks like a fucking party up in this bitch now."

Firestar took a shaky breath and murmured, "This isn't good. I'm becoming more and more barbaric. Damn it! How can I quench my insatiable rage?" Firestar's teeth gritted together and he struck the ground with a closed paw. Sunnypelt padded over and covered Firestar's paw that he hit the ground with, with her own paw.

Firestar looked at her and Sunnypelt vowed, "I will help you get through this. You have my word, Firestar. You're not alone anymore. We will get through this together." Firestar narrowed his eyes and replied, "Of course. Let's head home."

A Couple of Hours Later:

Firestar led his group into Skyclan's clearing. He hollered, "Fidgetflake and Frecklewish, Ragnar could use some medical attention." Fidgetflake and Frecklewish walked out of the medicine Den and bolted over. Bellaleaf padded out of the Warrior's Den. She ran over and touched noses with Boneclaw. She mewed, "Glad to see you're safe. You don't look too banged up." Firestar stifled a purr of amusement.

Boneclaw licked his chest fur quickly and mewed, "Yeah. It was pretty easy work having Firestar there with us. He defeated the most of our enemies." Firestar padded over and smacked Boneclaw on his back with a paw and added with a smile, "Stop being so modest, Boneclaw. Bellaleaf, don't let him fool you. Boneclaw easily defended all of us. He even saved my life a few times. Boneclaw defeated the most. Even when all of us were out of stamina, he didn't run out and protected the rest of us as we recovered. He just didn't want to embarrass me."

Bellaleaf's eyes widened and she asked, "Seriously?" Firestar nodded and Boneclaw looked at Firestar, disbelief clear in his eyes. Firestar winked and padded away. Ragnar murmured into Boneclaw's ear, "He hooked the fish, now set the hook and reel it in." Ragnar limped toward the medicine den, followed closely by Fidgetflake and Frecklewish.

Sunnypelt walked over to the Fresh-kill pile and sat next to Firestar. She asked quietly, "Why would you do that?" Firestar answered with a smile, "I made a deal, did I not? His paw was already in the den, he just needs to walk in at this point. I could tell from the way Bellaleaf and he interacted with one another before we left the clearing and when we returned. I nudged him in the right direction. As long as he doesn't choke, he will have a mate in a few days."

Sunnypelt replied quietly, "What about his sexual stamina?!" Firestar snorted and said, "Don't worry. I've given him a few pointers on how to last longer and how to go multiple rounds. Keep in mind, I've mated multiple she-cats in one night, and went at least two rounds with each one." Sunnypelt blushed lightly and mewed, "Y-You've gone multiple rounds in one night?" Firestar nodded and said with a wink, "I can give you a private demonstration, if you'd like." Sunnypelt blushed more and looked down. Firestar chuckled and said, "Come on. We need to rest. We did fight against Bloodclan for a couple hours."

There we go! Another chapter down!
