Warriors: SuperClan

Chapter 6

Double Duskie - awesome alliteration.

    "We have been faced with a grave crisis."

   Four cats sat in a dramatic circle in the leader's den, their faces drawn and worrisome.

   Well, actually, only three of them had worried expressions. The third one didn't really look like he cared about what was going on.

   "Stop being a drama queen and get on with it, Oaktail," Superstar said as he casually caught and shredded a small moth with his claws.

   Oaktail looked irritated. "Come on, Superstar. Every important decision needs to be dramatic."

   "Whatever."

   The brown-furred deputy sighed. "Anyways. The crisis. An extremely large group of rogues have come to the Clans." Shadows played in the darkened den as he continued speaking. "They say that rogues are fierce. Are strong. Have powers beyond our greatest knowledge." Oaktail to his feet and began to slowly pad around the group forebodingly. "They've come to our land of America - where we've moved to because of Brexit - from a place far far away...a place called..." Oaktail's voice rose to a high screech. "CANADA!"

   Squirrelstripe looked at Frostwing. "Never heard of it. You?"

   "Nope."

   "Yeah, well, it's up north somewhere," Oaktail said, shrugging. 

   "So, why do I need to care about this again?" Superstar asked. He narrowed his eyes. "I have more important things to do than this."

   "You really don't."

   "I do too! I need to go and-and-well-don't question me!"

   Oaktail sniggered. "Sure, sure, Superstar." His tone grew somber once more. "Anyways, we have reason to fear these rogues because they have decided to make a new Clan. It is called...EHCLAN!"

   "Eh?" Squirrelstripe asked at the same time as Frostwing.

   "EhClan."

    "Ah."

    "Oh."

   Oaktail continued. "And so, EhClan is the new EvilClan. And EhClan...they wish to murder us all!"

   Superstar snarked a laugh. "Like that'll happen."

   "But Superstar, they're so power-"

   "Pssh. They'll never best SuperClan. After all, it's named after me."

   "Superstar, the Clan has been here longer than you-"

   "Shut up, Oaktail. This meeting is useless. I'm leaving." Superstar got to his feet and made as if he was leaving, but then realized something and stopped. "Wait. This is my den. You should be leaving. Get out of my den."

   Squirrelstripe gave a weary sigh and walked out. Frostwing followed shortly afterwards.

   "But Superstar-"

   "Oaktail. Out."

   The deputy sighed in defeat and padded out. "At least I can say I tried."

Three days later.

   "SUPERSTAR!" Goldpaw screeched as she ran into camp.

   "Oh yeah, that new song by Pegboard Nerds? I loved it!" Hotpaw said, coming up to her and smiling. "It really was great. I mean, I'm usually not a dubstep fan, but this was just great, so-"

   "No, you fool!" Goldpaw screeched. "I'm yelling for our leader, Superstar!"

   "Oh. Right. Forgot that was his name."

   Superstar padded out of his den irritably. "What is it?"

   "EhClan has come, Superstar! And they've taken Streamflower!"

   "Streamflower, eh? I don't like her. Never actually listens to me."

   "That doesn't mean you can let her die in the EhClan camp!"

   "Actually, it does."

   "No it doesn't - oh. Wait. It really does. BUT STILL! She's my mentor. Please don't let her die!" Goldpaw pleaded.

   "Eh, well..."

   Quickpaw zoomed into camp. "Superstar! Squirrelstripe was taken by EhClan exactly 0.42 seconds ago!"

   Superstar sighed. "Two warriors taken. I suppose that means we've got to go pay EhClan a visit." He flew over to the Great Rock and lighted down on it. He took a deep breath and bellowed, "SUPERCLAN ASSEMBLE!"

   The cats of SuperClan immediately organized themselves into a neat-rowed army and stood at attention.

   "BEGIN MARCHING TO THE EHCLAN CAMP!"

   They turned together like one large machine and began to march. 

   Superstar flew ahead, trying out victorious smiles for later when they would win. He settled on a smirk and muttered something to himself before picking up the speed.

"SuperClan always wins."
