Foxes!
Brookstar emerged from her den, well rested. It was still early in the morning, with the first signs of the sun's warmth creeping through the grey clouds.Most of her clan were still in their dens, asleep. The dawn patrol was beginning to move out, with (sorry, do you mind if I play your cats?) Mintbreeze, Redstorm, and Sweetpaw were finishing a plump squirrel, until a scent drifted by on the breeze. Brookstar froze. Redstorm froze as well, and they locked gazes for a moment before the ginger-furred animals were pouring in from the tunnel that lead into camp. "FalconClan! Foxes! Attack!" Brookstar yowled, leaping down in front of a large pale ginger fox with amber eyes. >These must have been the foxes that Heatstar drove into our territory!< was Brookstar's last thought before the foxes were on her. The calm clearing was suddenly filled with battling cats and foxes.

Brookstar slashed the fox's nose with her claws, and slid under it, nipping its heels as she went. She slashed again, but this time down his stomach. She slid out again as quickly as she had gone under, and the fox whipped around, snarling. The fox back-pawed her and Brookstar went flying, but she locked her claws into the ground and skidded only a couple of fox-lengths. She leaped forward again, snarling and eyes blazing with fury, faking a right, then barreling herself straight into the fox's muzzle and face, left claws scoring across his muzzle and right claws nearly ripping out his left eye. The fox yowled in agony and raced off, whimpering. Brookstar turned around and saw Dawnshadow flailing under a large dark-furred female fox. Yowling another battle cry, she launched herself forward into battle to help her sister.
ReplyDeleteTalonstrike spotted a fox racing towards the medicine cat's den, and he saw Violetgaze's lavender eyes widen in fear. His breath got clogged up in his throat by the pure fear for the medicine cat and by the anger towards that filthy fox. "No! Violetgaze!" Talonstrike yowled, and without thinking, sped across the clearing and with his strength and pure fury, knocked the fox aside, head-butting its flank. Feeling a little dizzy, he shook off the swirling colors in his mind and leaped on the fox, screeching, clawing, and biting. "Take that, you crowfood eater! You piece of mange-ridden foxdung!" Talonstrike roared, and with its vicious assault, the fox ran away with its tail between its legs.
ReplyDeletePoppyleaf yowled, fightened. She garded Stormkit and hit in the Nursery. She looked out and glanced at Longwhisker, knowing her mate would fight bravely.

Longwhisker found himself face-to-face with a fox. The fox snarled and Longwhisker clawed his muzzle. The fox spat and shook it's head then Longwhisker leapt up and scraped his claws over the fox's back, then landed lightly on the other side of him. He swung his claw at the the fox's tail, nearly cutting it off. The fox ran off, fightened. Longwhisker was satifyed, but continued foighting the other foxes.

Violetgeaze raced up to Talonstrike. "Thanks!" she meowed gratefully, "But, before I was a medicine cat I got some warrior training. Let's see if I remember!" She saw a smaller fox and ran towrd it. SHe leapt up on top of it from behind and pinned it down. She sunk her claws in and then let go, jumping off the fox. It ran away whimpering. She turned and smiled at Talonstrike.

Talonstrike faced her, grinning. "Nice!" His paw suddenly shot out, nearly missing her head. His paw connected with the muzzle of a reddish-brown fox, effectively "punching" his nose. He leapt over Violetgaze and landed on the fox's head, biting off an ear and clawing his face. The fox shot off, blood splattering all over the grassy ground. "That's better," he joked, turning back to look at the medicine cat.
ReplyDelete(only u and i come on now....i think i should star advertising more...
ReplyDeleteSkypaw glanced around, and was knocked down by a flash of ginger fur. He growled, and pushed the fox off with his hind legs. Skypaw widened his eyes. The fox was only a kit...and it had knocked him down. He sighed, and watched as the kit ran away.

Stormkit glared at the foxes. "I wanna fight! I wanna fight!" He looked up pleadingly to Poppyleaf.

Dawnshadow intercepted a smaller fox as it ran off from Skypaw. "You're not going anywhere, foxdung!" she hissed, claws extending. She stopped as she saw it was only a pup. Her lips curled in disgust. A pup! Did these foxes send their kits off in battle, knowing they could be killed? She picked it up by the scruff before it had the chance to react, then ran to the entrance of the camp, dodging the battling cats and foxes. Dawnshadow deposited the pup under a towering oak, and launched herself back into battle, hoping that the pup would be safe. No matter how much she hated the foxes for invading their camp, no pup or kit deserved to die.
ReplyDeleteSkypaw nodded to Dawnshadow and leaped onto an incoming fox. It shook him off, then faced him growling. He snarled, ignoring the fact it was almost twice his size. Skypaw slid under, raking the belly, then out, just before the fox crushed him. They faced each other again, the fox taking advantage. It leaped onto Skypaw's four paws, pinning him down, snarling menacingly.

Brookstar whirled around, seeing a flash of snow-white fur from the corner of her eyes. >Skypaw!< she thought, and saw him struggling under the weight of a golden fox twice his size. She gritted her teeth, and hurled herself forward, ramming into the fox. "Get off him!" she hissed, slashing his face. Eyeing the foxes trying to get into the nursery, Brookstar nodded to Skypaw. "Take care of this one," she meowed, flicking her tail at the snarling fox, and bounded towards the nursery, seeing Poppyleaf fighting bravely. She tumbled into a dark red fox, battering his head with unsheathed claws. "Hi, Poppyleaf!" She managed to say before aiming a swipe at the fox's nose.

ReplyDeleteSkypaw breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded his thanks. He sped over to the nursery, intercepting Poppyleaf and the fox with a menacing growl. The fox backed up in surprise, but snarled back. The two pounced on each other, rolling in a heap of claws, blood, and the flicker of battle in their eyes.

Stormkit's eyes widened. "Can't I fight? Please??? I promise the fox won't lay a scratch on me!"
-Stormkit
"Stormkit, kits aren't allowed to fight in battles," Brookstar told him as she finished off a fox and sailed by, taking on the fifth-to-last fox. By this time, most the foxes were overwhelmed and tired.
