Yellowthorn spotted Midnightstorm slipping away into the forest, not knowing that would be the last time the MoonClan deputy was seen. He shrugged and glanced back at their patrol, victorious just as it should be, spotting Stormblaze stumbling. He padded over to the tom and stood next to the warrior for support. "We should head back and report the victory to Blossomstar." he meowed triumphantly, flicking his tail to beckon Meadowclaw over. The adrenaline hadn't left his body yet and he was oblivious to the gaping wound that crossed his face and the scenery around him started to become blurry. "Let's go before they come back." he urged them. (MC camp?)
Tigermask growled, glaring daggers at Meadowclaw. He knew he could easily over power her, but it would be a lot harder to so with how outnumbered he was. He glanced behind the three-legged feline, frowning at the sight of his leader's lifeless body. He relaxed his shoulders, sheathing his claws- accepting Meadowclaw's offer. "Ivysong." He called for the Sunclan deputy, before grabbing Dieselstar's body. Eclipseclan would get their revenge.
Stormblaze had watched the entire scene, dread filling his chest at the sight of his clan-mates ripping the eclipseclanner apart. He made a move to step forward, but stumbled, still a bit drowsy from the blood loss.
Dieselstar’s corpse lay splayed in the muddy puddles, bloody gashes and bites littering her flanks and stomachs, the back of her neck a knot of exposed muscle and bone. Her eyes were open, staring lifelessly toward the rainy sky above as the Yellowthorn and the others stepped away, the skirmish seemingly at a standstill.
Yellowthorn paused as the black deputy joined in taking the leader's lives. He watched with surprise that Midnightstorm had it in him to do that. His heart raced as he watched the tom take her lives, joining in where he could in a tag-team effort. Nobody knew how many lives she had left, and it seemed unspoken between the two they would keep going at her until she didn't come back. Suddenly they were interrupted, and he almost hissed at his own clan mate for it before he backed away and sat down to wash the blood that dripped from his brow.
Meadowclaw was part of the team that systematically dismantled Dieselstar's lives- she hadn't even known she was leader, and now, as she spat the hot blood onto the muddy ground and stepped away, she looked down with a heaving chest and sense of victory.
"Nobody threatens them," she said softly to herself, turning as she heard Tigermask's yowl to intercept him. She lifted her tail and lowered her head, small, but deadly.
"Stop where you are- she's gone," she snarled, "You can either leave now and take her body, or not leave at all," she threatened, claws slipping from their sheathes, leaning heavily on her one foreleg. Tigermask was outnumbered, outmatched, and outmaneuvered by the MoonClan patrol, but Meadowclaw would ensure that the clan had the chance to give their dead a proper burial in the eyes of StarClan.
Midnightstorm watched as Yellowthorn took the second of Dieselstar's life, and leaned down, crunching the back of her neck easily between her teeth as all eighteen of his claws digging into her soft flesh and tearing deep gashes that all spilled her blood heavily onto the ground, deeper than StarClan would be able to heal. He smirked softly, relishing the taste of her blood in his mouth as he pulled away, spitting the red fluid from his mouth and watching as it spatter over the ground. He kept her pinned to the ground, watching as her lives passed her by, the hunger still in his icy eyes.
Another life slipped through Dieselstar as Yellowthorn attacked, torn away from Dieselstar before she could wake from the lost of the first life. Her wounds started to knit once more, but she remained at their mercy, her heart in jolts between bloodloss and StarClan's healing.
Yellowthorn spotted Dieselstar lay vulnerable in the fray of cats who seemed to be oblivious to her downfall. With a bloody smirk, the raggedy warrior prowled up to her lashing his tail side to side as he approached. "What do we have here?" his voice completely changed from the moments before. A dirty paw pressed on the leader's ribcage as he stood on top, staring down into her eyes. This was his chance to show not only MoonClan, but EclipseClan that he was worthy of his warrior status. He leaned down, going to the kill with razor sharp teeth aimed right at her throat.
Dieselstar's eyes had rolled back in her skull as Tigermask yowled, her consciousness so far from him that that even the loudest screech could not reach her where she was, grasping for the starry forms of her ancestors. She was helpless, dead, but not dead, left defenseless against the MoonClanners' attacks.
Tigermask tumbled slightly, paws sleeping on the wet ground as a smaller cat body slammed him. It took him a few moments to regain his balance but once he did, he focused his eyes on Stormpaw. She was tough, he'd give her that, but now he wanted to see if she could really handle facing off against a trained warrior.
Stormblaze coughed, blood dripping from his mouth and onto the forest floor. His vision was blurry and he had a splitting headache, but he would live... hopefully. He couldn't leave his clan-mates behind, especially Stormpaw. He'd just started to get to know the she-cat and he wanted more time to spend with her. The grey and white warrior pushed himself to his paws, chest heaving with the effort to move. "I'm good." He said while covered in blood, mostly his own. He looked up at the younger feline, catching a glimpse of movement. Stormblaze couldn't see what it was, but he moved on instinct. He collided with tigermask once again, managing to swip his claws across the eclipseclanner's flank.
Tigermask yowled, backing away to glare at the duo. He's stronger than I give him credit for. He thought, taking this as his chance to catch his breath. His yellowish-green eyes fell on Dieselstar, anger rising in his chest at the sight of both Midnightstorm and meadowclaw double-teaming his leader. He left Stormblaze and Stormpaw and dashed off to help his leader.
Dieselstar's vision began to waver as the bloodloss and pain overtook her. She could feel her blows becoming weaker, her attempts to free herself growing inexact and powerless. Her image flickered, uncertain, as she felt her breath leaving her and white spots appearing before her.
StarClan, she thought, grasping for certainty and shape to the white spots, the field of starry cats she'd been taught to expect, some meaning in the deep sense of grogginess rising from stone-heavy limbs she couldn't move as she tried to get to her feet, suddenly feeling weight across herself as though she were laying down. One of the stars? Cats? Nothing but the air-starved gasps of her bending mind, desperate for another chance? It broke from the crowd and walked toward her at a slow, rolling pace, and she cried out to him, but his pace did not quicken-
Stormpaw whipped her head away from Deiselstar when she heard her mentor cry. She spotted him, injured as he lay below Tigermask and immediately ditched the EclipseClan leader to help Stormblaze. She bolted over, jumping and slamming herself into Tigermask, hoping she had enough force to knock him down for a few seconds. She got back on her feet, turning to Stormblaze, "are you alright?" she asked, a genuine look of worry on her face. She stood ready for an attack from Tigermask, but her focus remained on her mentor.
Yellowthorn hadn't anticipated the she cat would turn on him again so quickly. It was evident now that he was a rather poor fighter, but everyone around him seemed oblivious to the fact for now. He screamed as her claws met his face, dragging through his fur from his ear, over his left eye, and down to his nose. He backed away immediately as blood poured over his face, blinding him. The tom stumbled around the battlefield, bumping into Midnightstorm and the EclipseClan leader before reaching the safety of the sidelines and collapsing onto the ground in pain. His one good eye watched as the warriors screeched around him and fur went flying through the air. He knew it would only end with either Dieselstar's death or the obliteration of the MoonClan patrol and for once, the tom actually felt fear for what happened next.
Tigermask pinned Stormblaze to the ground, barring his teeth at the younger feline. Blood caked a wound on his shoulder and blood flowed from a cut above his eye but other than that, the striped warrior was raring to go. His claws sunk into the soft underbelly of the moonclanner, a pained yowl meeting his ears as he swipped his paws downward. Three deep gashes were left in the white and grey warriors stomach, blood staining his pelt further. Stormblaze struggled and twisted underneath the large eclipseclanner. He managed to flip the over, coughing up some blood as he did so. Stormblaze slipped away from the fight, wobbling slightly on his paws.
"I thought you'd put up a fight. Guess I was wrong." Tigermask taunted, dashing forward to slash at Stormblaze's already scarred face.
The child-like tom-cat let his signature toothy grin spread across his face, ocean blue eyes glinting. As soon as the eclipseclanner swiped his paw downward, Stormblaze side-stepped. Adrenaline fueling his movements as he ducked away and surged forward. His fangs enclose around Tigermask's throat and the force with which he propelled himself sent the striped warrior backward. Tigermask's lost his breath, the weight of the moonclanner squishing him against the ground. He took notice of the way Stormblaze babied his shoulder. Taking advantage of this, tigermask swung his paw which collided with the other tom's shoulder.
Stormblaze yowled, tears pricking the corners of his eyes as he fell to the ground. He growled slightly, glaring up at Tigermask as he stood over him/
Stormpaw caught Stormblaze's eyes for a moment, giving him a brief smile before joining her clanmates in the attack on Dieselstar, sprinting over to scratch her across her face, doing a fair bit of damage despite the fact that she had not had much training, and that this was her first battle. The practice she had done on her own was paying off.
Dieselstar cried out as Midnightstorm unexpectedly dislodged Meadowclaw and bucked backward in a desperate gamble to unbalance him, even at the cost of his claws raking further against him. She swerved her head back and grabbed his leg, biting with full force but in doing so, leaving her front open to attack by a third cat.

Midnightstorm jolted out of his thoughts, icy eyes glancing around quickly. The coldness came back as he saw Dieselstar attacking his Clanmates, a snarl ripping from his throat at the sight. He jumped at her, landing on her back and digging his claws in, teeth aiming for the back of her throat. He growled again, back claws raking at her sides, huge front paws pinning her to the floor to keep her in place.
It was a disaster. Stormblaze was thrown off of Ivysong rather weakly, the nimble tom landing on all fours before he looked up at the battle field before him. Midnightstorm was facing off against a striped warrior who stood over the body of a queen. Meadowclaw and Juniperspring were double teaming dieseltooth, Yellowthorn did his very best to fight against Sunclan's deputy. Panicked filled his chest when he found no traces of Stormpaw. His ocean blue eyes frantically scanned the battle field finding her just behind ivysong and yellowthorn. Stormblaze could finally breath again, but this time he had to choose which of his clan-mates he would help.
Midnightstorm seemed frozen to the spot and with the moonclan deputy distracted, Tigermask lept forward only to be shoved away by the appearance of a white and grey warrior. "Midnightstorm! Snap out of it!" Stormblaze yowled before he collided with tigermask with claws outstretched.
Juniperspring twitched then fell still as Dieseltooth loomed over her, the sides of her chest heaving as she regained her breath. Dieseltooth turned to assess the battle field just as Meadowclaw landed on her and she bucked backward, trying to throw Meadowclaw off before she had a chance to gain a solid hold.
Meadowclaw let out a husky shout of pain as Dieselstar's fangs pierced her neck, the holes beginning to leak red. She was forced to let go of Dieseltooth's chest, finding the blood that coated her own white fur a satisfying penance, but not near so distracting as her fang was, torn from its socket in her jaw and embedded in Dieseltooth's wound. Frustrated with her own efficacy, she watched as Juniperspring's throat was thrown onto the rain-stained ground, and the queen bellowed as she hot-headedly rushed forward, murder on her mind, even if it was only Juniperspring.
Shaking out the stiffness in her neck and ignoring its agony, Meadowclaw leapt upwards to land on Dieseltooth's flank, her back claws hoping to rip open the gash Juniperspring had started on her flank. Starting in the battle late gave Meadowclaw the advantage; she was not as fatigued.
Yellowthorn spotted Midnightstorm slipping away into the forest, not knowing that would be the last time the MoonClan deputy was seen. He shrugged and glanced back at their patrol, victorious just as it should be, spotting Stormblaze stumbling. He padded over to the tom and stood next to the warrior for support.
