Warriors: SuperClan

Chapter 30

Herbfeather ducked behind the branches that made up her den and backed away from the bloodshed. She lay down and closed her eyes. Using her mysterious medicine cat powers, she was instantly transported to StarClan. 

When she opened her eyes, she was in a shimmering forest bathed in moonlight. The silver glow illuminated the trees and ferns while she searched for any signs of cats. After a few moments, she was approached by a newly fallen warrior: Squirrelstripe. 

The brown tabby glared at her angrily. "Where were you," he began, "when Metalclaw killed me?"

Herbfeather shrugged. "Napping."

"Herbfeather?" A new, younger voice spoke up. The medicine cat turned to spot a smaller golden she-cat.

"Oh. Hey, Goldpaw. Where have you been?"

"I died," she responded, "and then I came back to life. And then I died again."

Herbfeather nodded slowly, "nice, nice."

"So, why are you here?" Squirrelstripe growled.

"Well, if you didn't notice, there's a major battle going on."

Squirrelstripe gave her a look that was a mix of are-you-kidding-me and i-am-plotting-your-demise. "No sh--"

"lAnGuAgE!1!1"

"--Sherlock."

Goldpaw tilted her head. "What's a Sherlock?"

"That's irrelevant," Herbfeather continued, "I came to resurrect every single dead SuperClan warrior in existence."

Squirrelstripe rolled his eyes. "You can do that?"

"Uh huh. Follow me." She turned and began walking through the forest.

They traveled for a while and collected many SuperClan cats, old and new. By the time they were through, they had to turn around again and gather Solarlight, Aspenblade, Troutstream, and Mintpaw who had all died at the paws of EvilClan within the previous few minutes.

"Everyone ready?" Herbfeather asked.

Many cats were confused and had no idea what they were doing, but nodded anyway. Hippie was completely clueless, but his wooziness was very fun. "Yeahhhhh, mann. Let's go to the moooon!"

Herbfeather blinked. "Uhh... okay. Let's go!"

Back in SuperClan, Superstar was flying above the camp, searching for straggling EvilClan cats to kill off from above. As his gaze swept past the medicine den, he was surprised to see hundreds of cats emerge. And not just any cats, but former SuperClan warriors!

"I AM A SOLAR PANEL!" Solarlight launched himself back into the battle with a caterwaul.

Goldpaw rushed up to her brother and helped him fight off a particularly large gray cat. "Hey, bro! How have you been?"

Other cats joined the fray, and it seemed like SuperClan had the advantage. However, when Superstar looked down, he caught sight of Silverpaw surrounded by a dozen EvilClan cats! He couldn't bear the thought of his ever-perfect apprentice being harmed. Without hesitation, he nosedived down and pounced on three of those cats at once.

Silverpaw sat to the side, sobbing uncontrollably as she watched her mentor face off against Metalclaw. The two cats wrestled for a while before Superstar pinned his foe down. As he unsheathed his claws for the killing blow, Metalclaw abruptly unsheathed his own abnormally long claws and ripped open Superstar's stomach from below.

The leader flopped to the side, gurgling pitifully. Silverpaw was horrified. With an enraged leap, she jumped on Metalclaw and bit down on his throat. The EvilClan deputy died within a few heartbeats.

Instantly, the fighting stopped. SuperClan gathered around their majestic leader as they watched him die. He was losing all nine lives at once because Metalclaw was just that evil. 

"Before I die," Superstar said with a cough, "please know one thing. I never liked Oaktail. I must've been high on catmint when I appointed him deputy. Don't let him become leader after me."

Silverpaw tried to use her healing tears, but they just weren't working fast enough. "Oh, Superstar! You will always be honored!"

Superstar smiled and proceeded to die with one last rainbow fart. It filled the camp with extravagant colors and instantly killed every single EvilClan cat. SuperClan had won!

Wow! We're done (almost)! All that's left is the epilogue. This sure was a fun story to write with all of its chaotic craziness. I hope you enjoyed! Who was your favorite character? I was always partial to Goldpaw from the beginning. Solarlight is a close second with Hotpaw and Hippie next in line. Until next time!
