Warrior Cats meets Transformers

chapter 3 :squirrelflight finds herself in quite the predicament

squirrelflight followed the twoleg kit, cautiously. she didn't want to be alone, especially with those... thunderpath monsters. they were huge and walked like twolegs! 

one of the twoleg kits, the one that brought squirrelflight here in the first place, tried to touch her tail. squirrelflight whipped it away from the grubby paws and walked behind the other twoleg.

" Absolutely not" she hissed under her breath. he eyes turned over to one of the twoleg monsters who had bent down, almost to get a better look at her. squirrelflight glared back up at them and poofed out her fur to make herself too bigger, however it would not be much as her short legs gave her the disadvantage.

"Dear starclan, help me get out of here".


while that was happening, we shift over to back at camp. it had been nearly a entire day since the camp had seen squirrelflight from that point.

"Maybe we should check and try to find her..." mewed birchfall, licking his chest.

"i knew the nursery being crowed was making her antsy, but i never imagined she just run off" daisy invertedly mewed, licking one of orphaned kits.

ferncloud gazed back over to squirrelflights kits, who were still sleeping silent beside her. she curled her tail around them, almost as if they too would disappear.

suddenly toadstep ran in, startling both daisy and ferncloud.

"Sorry mom" toadstep apologized, turning to daisy. " birchfall, you've been picked to go on a patrol, were going to look for squirrelflight and any survivors from the other clans".

birchfall turned over to whitewing, who was nursing his kits, dove and ivy, and then back over to his own mother, ferncloud. he gave a warm smile to both and padded off.



the search patrol consisted of thornclaw, lionblaze, applefur, harespring, birchfall and petalfur. lionblaze came of course as it it was his mother who had gone missing obviously.

"Remember were also looking for other survivors too..." thornclaw mentioned over to lionblaze. before he could respond, briarpaw came tumbling after him.

"thornclaw! thornclaw!" she mewed loudly to her mentor. "Could i please come with you? please please please!"

thornclaw chuckled at the young molly. " I'm afraid not, this isn't really a mission for apprentices..." he put his tail on her shoulder.

"But I will take you out for hunting afterwards, ok?" brightheart, who was carrying herbs called briarpaw over, " how 'bout you help me instead? leafpool and jayfeather need help treating all the extra cats in the clan"

thornclaw gave briarpaw the go-ahead and watched as she cheerily skipped over to brightheart. when the two were finally out of sight his facial expression stiffened as he turned over to the cats.

"Ok, I want every cat to stick together, we don't know what exactly took down the clans and we don't know if it's still out there, so I need all eyes and ears sharp!"

thornclaw drew a crude recreation of the lake and the surrounding territory. " we're going to windlcan first, hopefully squirrelflight hasn't gone that far and she's somewhere around there. if not then were going over to riverclan, then shadowclan."

thornclaw looked up, after receiving a nod from everyone he got up and headed out with the group.

 the sun was beginning to hint at the day ending, meaning that lionblaze had limited time to track down squirrelflight. the thoughts grew in his head. he gave a silent blessing for the safe return of his mother.

"so... harespring, do you think we'll find anyone?" brichfall meowed over to the timid cat.

harespring was caught off guard for a moment, but then responded "no, nightcloud wasn't lying when she said they took everyone."

silence filled the air for a moment before harespring continued.

"i owe my life to crowfeather, he was the one to save me when i should have perished, you know? when the... "monsters" came... i was asleep. crowfeather woke me up before they went to the warrior's den and-"

" i smell squirrelflight!" lionblaze interrupted the windclan warrior, realizing what he did he turned over.

"sorry"

"it's fine" harespring seemed relived, as if the painful memory was too much for him to continue.

lionblaze proceeded to lead the cats over to the scent trail, leading them over to the thunderpath.

"isn't this the border between thunderclan and... twoleg place?" meowed applefur, her spiky, brown fur bristling with caution. brichfall stepped beside the concerned molly, reassuring his old kit-hood friend from the great journey.

"squirrelflight must have been hunting and went outside territory for prey..." petalfur logically assumed.

the idea, however, gave lionblaze an uneasy thought, "this season truly is hitting the clans hard." 

"But should we go forward? the day is getting late. surely squirrelflight would have found a place to rest by now, and I don't want to go into twoleg place at night" harespring spoke up.

lionblaze was almost offended by the windclan warriors' idea of not going after squirrelflight, his mother! as he opened his mouth thronclaw interjected.

"harespring is right, it wouldn't be wise to go into twoleg place today, we can report to firestar the news instead."

lionblaze snapped his mouth shut, as must as he would like to go against thornclaws words, the warrior was right, even despite lionblazes starclan-powers, he couldnt just blindly go into two-leg territory.

the group headed back to camp early.

lionblaze wandered into the medicine den.

"Well did you find her?" jayfether spoke, with concern for his mother.

"No, sadly, but we did find out she went into twoleg territory."

"Mouse dung" jayfeather spoke under his breath. brightheart walked past him, lightly hitting his head with (what was left of) her tail.

"don't use that language jayfeather, we have kits in the den" her attention turned over to lionblaze, sympathy in her eyes.

"Well, I'm glad you didn't charge into twoleg place blindly, you would have gotten stuck, and we would be searching for two cats now" brightheart rather playfully spoke to lionblaze. lionblaze himself couldn't help but feel just slightly bit more cheered up at brighthearts playful jab. "th-thanks brightheart" he mewed. brightheart placed down some herbs "bring these to the nursery, won't you? I myself need to help briarpaw with herb mixing. give 'em to podkit and curlkit". lionblaze nodded and headed off to the nursery with the herbs.

walking into the tightly packed nursery he placed down the herbs, "curlkit? pounce kit? i got you herbs". two kits, one pale-ish brown and another gray and white kit, both came forward. they sniffed the herbs before chewing into them.

"Thank you" the pale-brown kit spoke before heading back into the crowd of queens and kits. lionblaze craned his neck upward to see which queen was the kits. he caught the kits going to nightcloud.

" They aren't nightclouds if your wonder'ng" daisy spoke up. " she's caring for them since duskfur, their mother, is dead".

lionblaze took another glance at nightcloud with the kits. nightcloud clearly took a toll after windclans camp attack. her fur was slightly crazed and between her eyes and the stains around them, lionblaze assume she must have been crying for a while. a bit of lionblaze  was happy for nightcloud and the kits, seeing how they seemed to make her happy.

" She seems very happy with them" he mewed softly to daisy, before leaving the newly found family in the nursery.
