Thunderstorm trains Shadowpaw

[*/Wild~"]

Sunpaw landed on the ground with a thump, her eyes went big for a moment due to the shock, untill she realized that it was Shadowpaw. Excitement ran through her veigns again as she looked up and saw another ThunderClan cat amongst the others. "Hey!" she purred happily to Thunderstorm as he told Shadowpaw to come and cheak on her.

Sunpaw stood up and shook off her pelt. She looked over at Swiftclaw and smiled as she walked half way over to greet Shadowpaw. She could tell that he was a bit wary of this whole situation but she wanted him to feel a bit more comfortable.
She pushed her nose into his neck in greeting. "Hey Shadowpaw!...oh, im alright" she purred as she sat down and looked at Thunderstorm.

"So will you let us go see Bramblestar? Please Thunderstorm?" she asked, knowing that she still had some rights to wander on her home territory.

[hawkstar]

Thunderstorm nobbed to Sunpaw and Shadowpaw to go see Bramblestar.

Brackenmask heard a lot of rucces going on. He sniffed the air. Sure enough Shadowpaw's and Thunderstorm's scent was there, but there was another scent too. Sniffing the air, he smelled Swiftclaw, and the other lonors of his tribe. "I guess this means that now Sunpaw is back." he thought to himself.

Rushing out, he ran to Sunpaw, and licked her face fiercly. "Sunpaw, I am so happy to see your back! How did your trip go?"

"Sunpaw's back from her trip to that lonor tribe? Is it true?" Lightningpaw mewed, following Brackenmask. He tackled her, and smiled at her. Lightningpaw had never felt so happy.

"I missed you, Sunpaw. I hope your okay, otherwise we need to get you to Spottedheart."

Thunderstorm listened carefully to the other cat's. A growl rised in his throat. How come he had never heard about this? "Brackenmask, Lightningpaw, Sunpaw left with Swiftclaw and you knew and never told us?"

Lightningpaw mewed "Is it MY fault Bramblestar was never around and was too lazy to appoint a deputy before he just left? Nooo, we couldn't tell you, because...." He stood protectivly in front of Sunpaw, baring his teeth.

"Lightningpaw I'll take it from here." hissed Brackenmask. "Look Thunderstorm, since Bramblestar isn't here, how could we tell him? We couldn't tell the clan first, otherwise everything would go wrong."

Thunderstorm growled even deeper in his throat. He walked up to Brackenmask, nose to nose with him. "Sunpaw never bothered to tell the entire clan herself. And it was right after the badger attack. We should drive her out, now!"

Lightningpaw couldn't take it anymore. He leapt on top of Thunderstorm, and hissed "Don't your dare say that about my female cat. Sunpaw went to go help another lonor tribe in OUR own time of need, but she did because she had to. I love Sunpaw, not just as a friend, but more than that. If she goes I GO!"

Brackenmask knocked Lightningpaw aside and hissed "Thunderstorm, please understand this. We should be looking at Bramblestar to blame, for just leaving us."

Thunderstorm witched his whiskers. He hissed "I guess so. Shadowpaw, Lightningpaw, and Sunpaw, please go with Brackenmask to get Sunpaw back on track, okay?"

[Swiftclaw]

Swiftclaw stepped up and stood beside Lightningpaw. Before all this, he had seemed peaceful and kind. But this fell away as quickly as water from a rock.

"YOU WOULD DARE REJECT SOMEONE WHO WAS WILLING TO GO INTO THE UNKNOWN TO HELP OTHERS?!?!" His voice reverberated with enough rage for an entire tribe of warriors.
Whitestripe and Lightningfang backed down, ears flat. They had known their friend longer than anyone still alive, and even they had never seen this side of him.
"YOU CROWDUNG-EATING SONS OF FOXES! BRING YOUR LEADER OUT NOW, OR SO HELP ME, I WILL TEAR YOUR SKIN FROM YOUR BODIES AND THROW YOU INTO THE SEA!! THIS CAT IS ONE OF THE KINDEST BEINGS I'VE KNOWN, AND I WILL NOT STAND TO HAVE HER CAST OUT LIKE THIS!"
His fur stood out from his body, as if blown back by some unfelt wind. His grey eyes lit up with some strange light. His claws extended, digging into the ground.

[hawkstar]

"We are not going to drive Sunpaw out. All I said was out of anger that I couldn't control. Sunpaw is a great hero, I now relize. It was wrong of me to act this way, I was just so concerned for the safty of the clan. Isn't that what you would want, you pathetic excuse for a cat?" Thunderstorm growled. His growl echoed through the trees, sounding like a lions roar.

[Swiftclaw]

"Swiftclaw!" Lightning yowled as she leaped in front of him. "Calm down!"
Swiftclaw breathed heavily. His hackles still stood on end. He couldn't form words to speak, so he simply growled and spun around, racing off into the forest faster than anyone could follow.
Whitestripe stared off after his friend, slowly shaking his head. He glanced at Lightning, who nodded, then set off after Swift.
She turned back to the cats. "Any other cat would have attacked for your words. Swiftclaw is very protective of his friends. He also has a very strong code of honor -" she paused, then went on in a more subdued voice "- but this is the first time I've seen him like this. No cat I've seen has ever been like that."
She shook her head to clear her mind, then shifted her attention back to Thunderstorm. "You nearly died there. Swiftclaw is concerned with the safety of all. You accusing him of not wanting that very nearly put him over the edge. He could have lost all control of himself.."

[hawkstar]

Thunderstorm twitched his whiskers in depression. He just chased away Swiftclaw, a cat that could've been Thunderclsn friend. But know it seemed all was lost. "Swiftclaw wait! I am sorry."

[Swiftclaw]

Swiftclaw ran until he caught the scent of a badger. He quickly shifted course and charged straight into it, tearing into it. The badger struck back, tearing deep wounds into his sides. Swift struck back, clawing the badger's eyes.
In his rage, he failed to remember that he had help the last time he fought a badger. He fought on as if he was channeling the rage of an entire bloodline. His wounds dtreaming blood, he struck and struck and struck until he could strike no more. The badger loomed over him as he slumped to the forest floor. He looked up at the beast.
"So this is how it ends," he thought to himself as his eyes closed.
Whitestripe came upon the scene just as the badger raised his claw for the killing blow. Stripe leaped and bit into the badger's limb, clinging for dear life.

[hawkstar]

"Come on Thunderstorm, lets go help Swiftclaw!" Brackenmask mewed, his eyes wide.

Thunderstorm nobbed. and together, he and Brackenmask charged into the badger, into it's belly, claws unshleathed. They both breathed a sigh of relief as the badger backed away. But then they screeched as the badger loomed forward.

[Swiftclaw]

Swiftclaw, arise. The battle is not over.
Eh? Who are you?
The star that shines upon your fate. Yours is not to die here.
Wha -?
Enough! ARISE!!
As the cats retreated from the badger, Swiftclaw staggered to his feet. He opened his eyes, revealing once again the silver glow. He flew through the air like a lightningbolt, striking into its throat. He grasped and clawed, once again allowing the rage to guide him.
Whitestripe called out to the others, "PIN IT DOWN!" He leaped and grasped the badger's front limb, digging in and refusing to let go.
