Echostar looked up from her meal. It was nearing nightfall and she decided to do hunting all day tomorrow with Ratpaw. Monarchwing barreled into camp, her face mauled. Echostar got up and padded over to the shocked warrior. "What happened?!" she demended. "Did you and Grimjaw get in a fight?"
Grimjaw was kocked down and skidded a few feet away. The ruby fox was even angrier than before. She charged him with the help of the other fox and Grimjaw was still on the ground. he had gotten the wind knocked out of him earlier and now again. He got up again, stumbling and struggling for more air. He tried to shake himself awake and looked to try and spot Nightfrost. He failed to dodge the two foxes and was knocked even father, but not before one of them managed to sink their teeth into his left shoulder.

"Foxes, on the Southern Border!! Grimjaw and Nightfrost are fighting two of them, we need you and an apprentice!" she meowed, her breathing returning to normal.

Nightfrost felt the strength being drained out of him. Starclan was calling in the edges of his vision... Darkness threatened to take over. He lunged at one of the foxes, jumping in midair, twisting around and landing behind it. Using the moment of confusion, he slashed viciously with his claw, raking them down it's flank. He bit the tail, hoping that it would provide a big enough distraction.

Echostar wasted no time. "Ratpaw! Blackpaw!" she yowled. The two came running instantly. "Blackpaw, tell Spiderfang that we have an invasion of foxes and that he must stay in his den until I say he can come out. After you tell him, you are to come and help us fight." she whipped her attention back to Ratpaw. "You're going to help us fight as well." She turned again back to Monarchwing. "Let's go!" she yowled again, and took off in the direction Monarchwing had pointed out.
Grimjaw got up again, but was surrounded by the two foxes. They were pacing in a circle around him, glaring at him and eyeing him. They showed no signs of mercy in their eyes. Grimjaw shot another glance back at Nightfrost when he head the ear splitting screech. Nightfrost had bitten the albino's tail, and had bitten it hard. Great job Nightfrost. The fox had wailed in pain, causing a distraction for the other two that surrounded Grimjaw. The hesitated, deciding whether they should help their friend, or finish Grimjaw first. With a quick flick of her head, the ruby fox nodded at her companion. He nodded back and rushed to help the albino. Grimjaw still had his head turned and hadn't noticed the movement. He turned back a split second too late. Suddenly, the fox had his whole shoulder and part of his neck in her jaws.

"No," Nightfrost waited as he watched his friend be clutched by the fox. Ignoring the snapping forms of the other two, he weaved through them and threw himself on top of the fox that had Grimjaw caught. He launched his dark body at it will all of his remaining strength, trying to tear it away from his companion. He slashed at it with his claws, and kept biting it with his fangs. Clutching onto it;s back, he latched on, repelling the fox's efforts to shake him off. /I hope Echostar gets here soon./

Monarchwing sped forward, bolting past Echostar and Ratpaw and leaping into the fury of battle. She pounced on the back of the ruby fox and bit deeply into her neck. The fox howled with pain and shook off the she-cat. Monarchwing leapt again but aimed for the front paw, gripping it with her strong teeth.
Ratpaw leapt beside Monarchwing and bit deeply into the ruby fox's other foot, slashing along with his front paws. He released as the fox hit him in the face and sent him flying into a tree.

Echostar rushed ahead and kept up with Monarchwing. When they reached the battle, she stopped for a few seconds to see what was going on. Nightfrost and Monarchwing were on the back of a ruby colored fox. It looked like they were preventing her from attacking Grimjaw, who was collapsed on the ground. Ratpaw went to join the two, but there was also a strange albino fox heading for the group as well as one more normal fox. As fast as she could, Echostar lept onto the albino fox's face and clawed until it let out a howl of pain. She jumped off for a split second, then jumped back onto it neck, digging in with her claws and biting down hard.
Grimjaw got up yet again, struggling to breath. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the normal fox charging at his companion, who was being mobbed by Monarchwing, Nightfrost, and Ratpaw. He flung himself at the creature, kocking into it sideways. The fox stumbled for a few seconds, surprised at the sudden attack. When it regained its balance it snarled at Grimjaw and hurled itself at him. Grimjaw dodged just in time and the fox passed him. It whirled around again and glared at him, enraged.

The ruby colored fox shook off the mobbing cats limping on her forepaw and fled into the dense undergrowth, whimpering and yelping. Monarchwing looked up to see the normal colored fox charging at Grimjaw with its curved fanged bared viciously. She bolted in front of Grimjaw and felt a heavy impact smash her ribs. She fell onto the ground with a wheeze and struggled back up. The fox was now facing Grimjaw. She hissed and clamped her strong jaws onto his thick tail, getting a mouthful of fur and feeling a hard mass of bone and flesh meet her teeth. The fox yelped and swiveled around trying to get his claws on her face or back. She thrashed her head violently and tore part of his tail. He roared with anguish and sliced at her face. Monarchwing dodged his blow and spat out his red fur, arching her back with a challenging snarl.
The albino fox barked angrily and rolled onto his back until the biggest cat released. He quickly pinned her four legs down with his out and leg out a long, threatening snarl. “Good-bye cat!” he rumbled.

Grimjaw snapped back to reality when he heard the fox's threat. He whipped back around to see the albino fox standing over Echostar. He had her pinned down and was opening his jaws for the kill. "NO!" he screeched as he lunged himself at the fox. It stopped it advance for a moment. Its jaws were wide open, but its eyes were now focused on Grimjaw. Snapping its jaws shut, it waited until Grimjaw was within striking distance. When Grimjaw reached that point, the fox swung its head back and came down hard. Its head crashed into Grimjaw's side, sending him flying. He hit the ground with a thud and didn't move.
Echostar was hissing and spitting with rage the whole time. She knew it was almost impossible to escape the fox's grasp, but she tried anyway. When it returned its attention back to her, its eyes were blazing and more bloodthirsty than ever.

Monarchwing ran up to Grimjaw. She growled and leapt at the albino fox, burying her claws into his flank so deep that blood welled around his ribs and slipped down his side. He screeched and glared at her as she landed from her strike hissing in rage. "Leave my Clan alone!!" she snapped and rushed at him, her eyes looking at his face but her mind focused on her shoulder. The fox drew his slavering jaws open and as she passed she ducked and heard him snap at the air. She leapt onto his face and shoved her teeth into his shoulder. He reared back, releasing Echostar and lay down on his back. Monarchwing felt the air gush out of her and she struggled to get out from under the fox. Darkness welled around the corners of her eyes and she shuddered and fell into darkness.
The fox leapt back up and swiftly darted away from the battle leaving the normal colored fox alone and leaving Monarchwing on the ground.

Echostar got up immediately and rushed at the last fox. She jumped at its head and clawed its face over and over. The fox howled in pain and finally gave up and ran away. Echostar turned around and took one look at Monarchwing before shouting, "Nightfrost! Get Monarchwing back to camp NOW!" She looked around again and saw Grimjaw in the same state as Monarchwing. She padded over and prodded him with a paw, hoping he would say something. When no response came, she picked him up as Nightfrost had done with Monarchwing and headed back to camp.

Ratpaw's front limbs shook his paws matted with scarlet blood. He let Nightfrost and Echostar pad in front of him and he took the rear. A long scar ran down the left side of his face. He looked at Grimjaw and Monarchwing who were both in a bloody state. He felt cold, rage tear fill his eyes. 'Why StarClan WHY!!!' he screamed in his head. When they arrived back to camp he looked at his exhausted Leader. "Do you want me to take Grimjaw to the Warrior's den?" he asked.

"No." she growled, agitated. "We'll put them both in the medicine cat's den." She padded over to the den, Grimjaw on her back. "Come on Nightfrost. We're putting them in the medicine cat's den." she called.

Nightfrost ran over to Monarchwing's side, and prodded her with a wet paw. Blood streaked his pelt, and tears formed in his eyes. He pulled her along, by the scruff of her nieck, not abloe to lift her up. Her fur snagged on thorns andbranches. He felt kind of ad for dragging her this way... But her was to exhausted to carry her any other way.

Ratpaw bowed his head and sat in a patch of dim light. The sun was setting and the battle had seemed to last forever. He bent his neck down to lick his blood paw clean. The rusty, salty tang filled his mouth and he grimaced slightly. When his paws were clean he licked the right one and drew it over the long mark on the left side of his face. Weariness tugged at his limbs and he lay down and shut his eyes, giving in to his sleep.
