[META] Phase Three - TreeClan VS StoneClan

[belloblossom]

Lightningdash is attacking Flashpaw! She fails! @Blinded By Silence

HP: 5

Lightningdash had sprinted across the border into StoneClan, a yowl of triumph as she found herself in the StoneClan camp. She stood there, looking around at all the other StoneClan intruders, before it began to dawn on her that she was the one who was outnumbered now. Turning to flee back to TreeClan and to her mate, Strongclaw's, side she saw Branchtail nearby, attacking one of the StoneClan cats - the same she-cat she'd gotten her claws into earlier for trespassing. Oh! So it WAS okay to attack the other Clan! She didn't have to feel guilty about attacking the cat on her Clan, because they'd been breaking the Warrior Code and now, she didn't have to feel guilty because a senior warrior of TreeClan was attacking too.

She turned her head, trying to pick out a tussle-mate, her mind uncomprehending of the war she'd had a part in starting by chasing after their enemies, when someone else chose her out of the crowd first.

"Ow, that hurts!" She cried when she felt her pelt tear. "What's your problem?! You came to steal prey from our Clan - you started this whole mess! You shouldn't be attacking me first, you heartless birdbrain!" She snarled up at the other she-cat, twisting and trying to land a blow with her own claws unsheathed in the face of harm.

Fogmoth's health has hit 0!

"We chased the invaders back here! If you think we would charge in on made up lies then you really do have rocks for brains!" Fogmoth shot back right before he took the full force of the she-cat's claws to his chest. Time seemed to slow as pain spread across his front.

"Your clan has gotten so big it has forgotten it's honor. Do you even know your clanmates?" He growled as he backed away slowly. There was too much blood on his fur and all of it his. How had he allowed himself to get this injured? Not good. If he didn't get out of this fight soon, he feared he'd never get back to camp at all.

[PeterPan_da144]

The sudden sound of yowling in the camp woke her from a midday nap. Scrambling from her nest, she bolted into the camp center, staring wide eyed around. "What is going on?!" she yowled, fur fluffed up in fear. She recognized a lot of these scents. From the mountain, or kits from mountain cats. Why were they all fighting?!

It took her a few moments to realize... It was TreeClan. They had invaded the camp! Eyes wide with fear as she swept around, she caught sight of one of her kits kits, fighting with an equally scrappy looking apprentice. "Stop!"

Poppyheart rushed to Puddlepaw's side, physically bodying the other apprentice aside. Standing between the two of them, her fur fluffed as she bared her teeth, albeit reluctantly. "What are you doing? Why is TreeClan here?!"

@belloblossom @Umbrefox Poppyheart thrusts her way between Mosspaw and Puddlepaw

Nutpelt is attacking Sweetfang and hits her for 5 damage

HP: 10

Nutpelt sees that Fogmoth is struggling, and races to his side! She will try to attack Sweetfang!

[PeterPan_da144]

Thornstrike attacks Pinedapple and hits him for 5 damage

HP: 5

Momentarily distracted by his brother, Scrap's, voice, Thornstrike takes a hit from Pinedapple!

With a hiss of outrage, he immediately lashes back!

@belloblossom

 

[PeterPan_da144]

Snowyowl defends Yarrowbloom and attacks Talonfang, but misses!

HP: 10

Snowyowl rushes to her mate, Yarrowbloom's, side! Regardless of knowing what is going on, she intends to help him! He isn't the strongest of fighters yet.

@Blinded By Silence @NatiStorm

 

[PeterPan_da144]

Hawk attacks Thunderfoot, and hits him for 5 damage!

HP: 10

Hawk races into StoneClan's camp after her clan mates! Regardless of how she might feel on the matter, her leader has called for an attack, so she follows her word! The brown she-cat launches at the nearest unknown face - Thunderfoot (she doesn't know his name though)!

@belloblossom

 

[PeterPan_da144]

Jayfeather attacks Twistedrose and hits them for 5 damage!

HP: 10

Jayfeather is far more meticulous in his choice of combatant. While he doesn't want a serious fight, he opts to not fight an apprentice, instead looking for a fully grown cat. He goes after a cat he knows not their name - Twistedrose!

@belloblossom

 

[PeterPan_da144]

Strongclaw comes to defend Lightningdash, and hits Dapplepaw for 5 damage!

HP: 10

Seeing Lightningdash rush headlong onto the fray, Strongclaw attempts to follow after his headstrong mate - only to end up face to face with a StoneClan cat! Hissing ferociously, he immediately lashes out at them!

[PeterPan_da144]

Birchleaf attacks Rocksteady and hits him for 5 damage.

HP: 10

Birchleaf had been apprehensive about an immediate pursuit and fight with StoneClan. Was it really necessary? Did their leader even know? After all the stories she had heard about Sunseer, and his deputy Skysong, she highly doubted either would have allowed the apprentices to hunt in TreeClan territory. However, her mother called upon them to fight, so indeed she fought. Albeit reluctantly.

Almost immediately upon crashing into the camp, Birchleaf found herself face to face with a StoneClan opponent. She chose to try to fight.

Viperfang attacks Riversurge and hits him for 5 damage

HP: 10

She had been itching for this very day to come. For StoneClan's mouse brained apprentices to slink over the border again and hunt in her clan's territory. Her claws had ached every day, gouging the bark as she stalked through the trees, eyes ablaze as she watched for intruders. So when it finally happened... She was hot on Branchtail and Sweetfang's tail. Even though she hadn't been with them on a real patrol, she heard the happenings before Sunflight could even fully rally the camp. Viperfang had immediately bolted out of the Nest, haring towards StoneClan's borders.

Bursting through into the camp, immediately her vicious claws went flying.

Her claws sunk into a blue tomcat, and she hissed in delight.

[belloblossom]

Pinedapple is attacking Thornstrike! He fails!

HP: 5

Pinedapple recoiled at the attack from the brown and black tomcat, but he kept his gaze on the tomcat in front of him. Snarling his frustration and forcing the feeling of the stinging wound to the back of his mind, he moved to strike the tomcat again. His mother wanted them to send a message? Oh, he'd send a message all right.

After he tripped and stumbled forward, he cursed. That was not the message he had wanted to send! @PeterPan_da144

 

[belloblossom]

Sweetfang is attacking Nutpelt! She fails!

HP: 5
Sweetfang was panting heavily when she watched the white tomcat stumbled back. When he asked her if she even knew her own Clanmates, she froze up and looked around mistified... did she? She knew the leadership in the Clan, and Splitnose, of course, but... SunClan, her brother wasn't here. She didn't have any real meaningful relationships with anyone else in the Clan. Turning her gaze back to the tomcat, she took in his bleeding chest wound and her eyes filled with horror.

"I... I'm sorry." She mewed, her voice hoarse. "I... don't know what I'm doing here." She admitted and maybe she would've continued, would've tried to help the cat she just brutalized, when she felt claws sinking into her fur and she cried out in pain. "Stop, please stop!" She wailed at her assailant, but her training as a warrior kicked in and drove her to lash out with her claws, her back arching in panic.

[belloblossom]

Riversurge is attacking Viperfang! He fails!

HP: 5

Riversurge had been so proud of his family's growth, following Siltwater's litter - and such a large litter it had been! Nightcall sure had worked hard with that one! Before he knew it, the litter was already apprentice aged. And now... he was watching those apprentices go into battle. He couldn't comprehend why TreeClan was suddenly attacking and he couldn't see Sunseer or Skysong either. He turned his head from one side to another, before he spotted his mate, Poppyheart and one of his kit kin. He surged forward to try and get to her, but felt claws in his back pulling him down.

"Pop-!" He yowled as he went down - but no, he couldn't distract her from the kit she was protecting, so he bit off his call to his mate and turned his attention to his attacker. Had Sunflight finally crumpled under pressure of being a leader? He always thought she was too young to be given nine lives. "Get off of me, foxheart!" He snarled, twisting to try to bite into the shoulder of the she-cat on top of him. @PeterPan_da144

 

[belloblossom]

Twistedrose is attacking Jayfeather! He fails!

HP: 5

Twistedrose had heard the call of his daughter, Petalpaw among the frenzy. What was she doing out there? He barreled out into the fray, ready to come to her defense - he could just see her dark markings, bold against her cream colored fur that resembled his own so much.

"Petalpaw, I'm coming!" He called to her, but not a moment sooner had another cat had attacked him. "Let go of me - I need to get to - my daughter!" He said through grunts and hisses. "How dare you get in my way!" He growled as he slashed his claws towards his attacker. @PeterPan_da144

 

[belloblossom]

Strikedrop is attacking Thrushpaw! He succeeds!
(Strikedrop does 5 damage to Thrushpaw!)

HP: 10

Strikedrop knew that, okay, technically he was in the wrong. Except, was he really? He was hunting for his Clan and it was like Snarlpaw had said, the cats never really hunted on the ground. He'd seen it for himself, the prey was practically asleep on their paws for lack of feline threats. Really, TreeClan should be thanking them for fighting overpopulation of prey on their territory.

As he rushed back to StoneClan camp, he took note of the youngest in the patrol, Petalpaw. Once he got to the camp, he tried to keep an eye on her and when seemingly every cat in TreeClan invaded StoneClan, he could see a small TreeClan apprentice advancing on Petalpaw.

All this for a bit of prey? He thought as he hurried to Petalpaw's aid, ducking under slashing claws and jumping over biting fangs as he moved through the crowd of cats to the apprentice's side. This is a bit overkill, isn't it?

"Big words for such a small cat." He told the patchy TreeClan cat as he came up from behind Petalpaw, before moving across to stand in front of her. "Maybe TreeClan doesn't feed its cats, if you're still so small. Still, we in StoneClan protect our own." He said and reared his paw back and then slashed it down onto the cat who dared to attack an apprentice of his own Clan. Heh, wouldn't Split be proud. He thought as a an arching spray of blood coated his chest. Great, now I'm going to have to wash in the river.

"Go find your parents, Petalpaw." He mewed to the wide-eyed apprentice behind him. "Don't worry, I've got your back." @NatiStorm

 

[NatiStorm]

Thrushpaw's health has hit 0!

Thrushpaw was feeling very confident in her fighting ability after landing a hit on the StoneClan apprentice. As her sister Larkpaw flew into the fray beside her, that confidence only rose. With the two of them together, nothing could stop them! They were going to teach these cliff dwelling cats a lesson for sure! It had never occurred to Thrushpaw that a StoneClan warrior would take her on so when the pale grey and white tom stepped in front of her, she froze - still atop the apprentice she was attacking.

None of her training had prepared her for the speed and force of pale warrior. A scream of sheer terror and pain erupted from her tiny body along with her blood. There was so much blood. So much pain. For a moment all she could do was stare in horror at the warrior that had sliced her open. No, she had not been prepared for this. "MAMA SUNFLIGHT!" She screamed as the blood continued to flow rapidly from her body. The world tipped sideways as she slumped off of the StoneClan apprentice. Thrushpaw didn't know if her mother had heard her, if her sister had seen her, or if anyone was coming to her rescue as her world went dark and silent.

( @belloblossom Thrushpaw is calling for her mom!)

 

[belloblossom]

HP: 2

Petalpaw had been trying to make her way though the camp without getting trampled by older fighting warriors. She could barely spare time to think, reacting on instinct when a cat pounced on top of her. She was preparing to roll over in an attempts to toss whoerver was attacking her onto the ground. She pinned her ears.

"I won't do it again! I promise - I just wanna see my moooom!" She wailed to the air, before she saw Strikedrop, someone who had been on the prey patrol with her and Snarlpaw, cross into her line of vision. She looked up at him with wide eyes, her paws feeling like they were frozen to the ground. She couldn't move - could only watch in horror as he drew back his claws. Was he going to kill her? But they were Clanmates! But then she could feel the body on her back again and the blood that was dribbling from that body onto her fur. She shrieked and struggled to get out from under the limp body, scooting away and bumping up against Strikedrop's leg. She looked up at him in wide-eyed horror and could only nod once before she ran off into the fray again. She could've sworn she'd heard her father calling her name - now where was he?

 

[belloblossom]

Thunderfoot is attacking Hawk! He succeeds!
(He deals 5 points of damage!)

HP: 5

Thunderfoot was being attacked - all of StoneClan was being attacked! He couldn't focus on the reason or why at this moment, all he knew was that he had to defend himself and his Clan. He was unable to see where Bearwhisker was, but he knew that she was more than capabel of handling herself. He thought of her brother Thornstrike and glanced raound for the tomcat, but couldn't see him among all the fur and blood in the air.

Turning just in time, he saw another cat coming for him, even though he was unable to block it. He was able to lean into the attack for a bite attack, however, and take a chunk out of whoever was going after him! @PeterPan_da144

 

[belloblossom]

Mosspaw is attacking Poppyheart! She fails!

HP: 2

Mosspaw had gotten the other apprentice to run away - did that mean that her job was done or did she have to go find another warrior or apprentice to fight? Or wait, was she supposed to fight that apprentice to the death? She took a hesitating step forward, peering after the runaway tomcat, when she was shoved to the side by a warrior. She looked up at the beautiful mottled she-cat and flattened her ears. The wound that the apprentice had managed to inflict on her before he ran was bleeding and it stung - she wished Errol was here to make her feel better, even if he was a giant grouch.

Seeing a new obstacle in her way - and one that was demanding answers, she thought of her parents, who were great TreeClan warriors and puffed out her chest in an attempt at bravery. Her parents were in this fight, surely if they saw her, they'd want her to be brave and make TreeClan proud, right? None of her other siblings were here to take up that task, so she was the only one who could do it.

"I am Mosspaw of TreeClan and I'm here to punish you for stealing our prey! We showed you mercy once, b-but..." Oh SunClan, this she-cat was so much taller than she was. "But no longer! " She squeaked, embarrassment and fear making her voice pitch an octave higher, before she swatted out at the she-cat's ankles, but forgetting to unsheathe her claws in her fear. "Go away! Scat! Run off and h-hide!" @PeterPan_da144
