Dawnclaw awoke to find that her clan was buzzing around her.

"What's going on?"

Lunaheart padded towards her, smiling.

"Dawnclaw, you're up! I've decided, as long as it's okay with you, to send out the battle patrol. Even though it may seem rash, I want to drive out or kill these rogues."

Dawnclaw nodded and flicked her ear.

"So, who's leading the patrol?"

"You. I've come to the conclusion that you were the least injured and you are the only one who has seen the entire group, it just seemed logical."

Dawnclaw had to suppress a yowl of triumph.

"I will have everyone ready to go before sunhigh."

"No, we're attacking at moonhigh, when they'll most likely be asleep."

Dawnclaw nodded and rushed off to collect cats for the patrol and rest up.

Dawnclaw and Lunaheart trotted at the head of the patrol. Behind them was Foxtail, Honeydew, Cedarheart, Skywhisker, Waspheart, Beetlepaw, Featherstar, Thornpetal, Frostfang, and Nova.

Dawnclaw smirked slightly knowing of all of the powerful cats in her patrol.

We will destroy The Ghosts with ease, especially since we have Nova to help.

Lunaheart held her tail up to stop the patrol. Dawnclaw looked around and nodded.

"This is the place, we should enter through the entrance at the top. Once we do that, make sure that everyone focuses on the rogues, I'll handle Bandit and Flare" Dawnclaw whispered quietly, glancing at the front entrance to make sure that there were no guards posted.

She flicked her tail tip, signaling the patrol forward and leapt up onto a crate, then through the window.

The rest of the patrol quietly followed and leapt through the window, waiting for the command to attack.

"Okay, Waspheart, Skywhisker, and Foxtail, you three head for Midna and Talon. Be careful, they are powerful fighters and will kill you if given the chance." Dawnclaw ordered, flicking her tail towards the two sleeping rogues.

The three cats nodded and silently stalked toward the cats.

"Okay, Honeydew, Cedarheart, and Featherstar, you three go for Stone and Mist. They are not as skillful in fighting but can pull some pretty surprising moves so watch your tails."

The other three cats quietly walked towards the sibling rogues and waited for the command.

"Okay, now, everyone else, watch everyone's back and help them if needed."

Thornpetal cocked her head and glanced wearily around.

"What about Flare and Bandit, won't they come after you?"

Dawnclaw nodded and looked at a crate, where she saw the bright orange she-cat sleeping near a gray ball.

"There over there, if you want to help me then help, but please help your clanmates as well."

The remaining cats nodded and stalked off into hiding, waiting for the word to attack.

Dawnclaw looked around and nodded to each hiding group.

"FIRECLAN, ATTACK!!!"

An explosion of battle yowls erupted from the patrol as they attacked the surprised rogues.
