With careful steps, the sleek black and white form backed up slowly and slowly deeper in as the distraught warriors seemed to follow. "I-I..." she squeaked, taking in a deep, shaky breath to perhaps say more...When the large tom suddenly attacked her, sending her crashing hard into the side of the tunnel. She shook her head as she struggled to her paws, to recover when dirt landed on her muzzle. "...What...?" she murmured, her golden eyes flickering with confusement before she glanced at where she had landed. And realized what was transpiring. What he had thrown her into. The support for the tunnel. No! This wasn't how it was suppose to..."You...You idiot!" They suddenly sneered, a loud hiss escaping them as they watched the cats scramble to escape as the whole tunnel seemed to quake under the weight of its own, dirt thumping to the ground around them. Now that their voice was no longer a silent quiver, it was clear that the source...It was not Puddlepaw's voice that escaped the apprentice's pelt. "This will not save you. The night watches you all," they spat before spinning and racing further down the tunnel as the dirt came crumbling down, the tunnel fully collapsing on itself and blocking them from sight.

Puddlepaw has fled the tunnel collapse.

The black dog's tall ears perked at the sound of yowling and snarling coming from the farther tunnel. He wouldn't have cared if it weren't for the sudden muffled sound of dirt and rocks closing the entrance, with one cat being pushed out roughly before the mouth of the dark hole shut with a shudder. Its nose twitched. Were its packmates...? A slicing pain through its belly brought the dog's attention back to the enemies around him, and it snapped its slobbering jaws at the air around the young cat's ears, missing by just a whisker's breadth. It raised a huge paw to slam down on the young tomcat, but the fox had yanked him back by the scruff in the blink of an eye, and suddenly the black dog was left with just the bigger black cat regaining its senses. But the first tunnel's collapse was bad news; his instincts flared up, jerking him into action. The large dog shouldered into the second tunnel, right behind Spotpaw, and barked a broken, unnatural sentence to the fox: "She's gone!" It was accompanied by a meaningfull glare from orange eyes and jerky, nervous steps.

Crowpaw yelped with surprise as teeth sank into his scruff, and before he knew it, he was in a tunnel, pinned down. The fox was pressing down onto him, causing pain, but didn’t seem to have the intention of killing him. Yet. Of course. I’m bait, aren’t I? Though he wanted to yowl, he bit his tongue and stifled his mews, as he watched Spotpaw come in after him. That’s what the mangy crowfood-eater wants. He tried to twist around, tried to attack, but the vixen had him pinned too tightly. He had to get free, had to help the others, had to get Spotpaw out of there. Who knew what the fox would do to her, the molly trapped in these close quarters?

He loosened his shoulders, letting his head drop to the ground, attempting to play dead. Attempting to trick the creature into thinking she had taken things too far. He wanted to tighten his muscles, be ready to spring up the instant the vixen loosened her grip, but he forced himself to stay limp, forced himself to act like freshly killed prey, his fear-scent still radiating through the silence.

It happened so suddenly, so quickly. Before she knew it, the gold-furred she-cat heard a rumbling, dirt falling around. Panic filled her, one of them must have tripped the cave-in accidentally. There was no way to see, and she had already been disoriented. A rough shove from behind filled her nostrils with her mate's scent, sending her sprawling towards the entrance. Stumbling out as the ground caved in behind her, she blinked rapidly to clear the dirt and mud from her eyes before taking in the sight of the battle that had happened above ground for a brief moment. Raventail, Barleytuft, and Clovertwist stood, facing a tunnel on the far side of the battle area, and she swiftly turned to face the entrance she had come from.

The earth looked deflated, but her eyes searched, yearned to see movement coming from the depths. Nothing came, and a heart-wrenching moan came from the she-cat's belly as she stared at the sunken earth in wide-eyed dismay. The unearthly noise shifted into a yowl full of pain and anguish as she stumbled towards the fallen dirt. "NO! Grousefrost, Ploverpuddle, StarClan no, please... Please..." Ears plastered against her head, she continued to desperately search for anything, any sign of life. A paw was placed on the shifting earth, only to be quickly swallowed before Goldengale drew back, another low moan ripping from the depths of her throat.

Turning slowly, mud and dirt still caked in her fur, she stumbled towards the group of cats. Her voice cracking, she tried to explain. "Tunnel... Pud- Puddlep-paw... Collapse...-" Her next realization made her go stiff, and her blue eyes traveled from face to face. Crowpaw. Where was Crowpaw. "Where is he?," she gasped, eyes searching those of the cats who remained. The she-cat staggered as she searched again, seeking out those differently colored eyes. She didn't find them peering back at her, but what she did catch was a black dog slipping into the other entrance after a small molly. "Spotpaw," she whispered, feeling her mind starting to splinter. A step was taken towards the far tunnel, followed by another before she stumbled. A pitiful sob accompanied the third step, as shock started to grab a hold of her physical abilities.

She didn't even see the remaining cats anymore, her mind focusing into two portions as she halted suddenly, looking desperately between the two. One tunnel, caved in and holding death. The other, open wide but sheltering danger. Each one held two cats she cherished, loved. Throwing her head back as her claws extended into the ground, the wordless screeching yowl that left her throat was unlike anything she had ever produced before, or even heard. It carried grief, anguish, fear, anger, regret, all combined into one heart-breaking sound. Her world was shattered, taking her heart and very being with it. Should she choose to try to dig and potentially save her mate and old apprentice, or should she charge to try to save her current apprentice and quite possibly her son?

The two in the collapsed tunnel were experienced warriors. They stood a chance, even if the dirt had swallowed them. The others, however... If they were in there, with that dog, any heartbeat could be there last. Mind made up, another sob echoed in the night air as she turned her back on the collapsed tunnel and stumbled as quickly as she could - though it was painstakingly slow - towards the tunnel she had seen her apprentice and the dog funnel into. The sickening feeling in her stomach, the same sensation that made her feel as though she were going to collapse, the one that made her wish she would wake up from this nightmare, reassured her that her son was within the darkness. The darkness that whispered that her mate, as well as her kit, were already in StarClan.

Relentless attack after relentless attack.. He was barley hanging on. What was it about former apprentice that made them attack him? Why just him when there were more than one of then attacking that creature. He walked backward further into the tunnel trying to avoid getting hurt once again.

He let his nose guide him. The scents were his main way if seeing but he had some vision from the entrance. Yellow eyes watching as Grousefrost shoved the dead apprentice into the wall following up with a heavy attack. The tunnel was getting smaller.. He could feel the tunnel collapsing in him. He could feel the showe of dirt hitting his pelt. Muddy paws scrambled to move to get him out of the way but his wounds wouldn't let him move. It was too much of a struggle. His mind begging and pleading at him to move. The panic and fear running rampant through his body, but the adrenaline wore off a while ago. All that was left was pain.

As he moved the few steps be could, his paws slipped out from under him as the earth pushed him to the ground. A sharp gasp escaping him as the impact knocked the air out of him. Everything hurt too much. What little vision he had was soon gone as the tunnel entrance was sealed. Total darkness soon consumed him as his mind finally settled for once the whole day. His usual overthinking gone leaving his mind open to focus on the pain and panic he felt, eventually becoming too overbearing for the tom. Eventually as it became to much the pain disappeared. His eyes closing, the tension leaving his body as he blacked out from the panic and paid alone. Not realizing only half of his body was trapped in the collapse.

I need to get out...

A lull in the battlefield, a terrible rumbling under his paws, and a silence that could shake all the stars. Goldengale wailed somewhere nearby, and Aspenheart instinctively hobbled and wobbled out of the grass, gasping between mouthfuls of cobwebs. His vision blurred at the edges with terror, eyes trained on the she-cat and the area around her. Any time now, in the darkness, something would come and swallow her up, his apprentice's sister, his brother's daughter, a beacon in the bleakness.

Skidding to a stop, he realized she was not obviously injured, but her distress was more haunting than any physical scarring a fox could do. His heart began to slow, realizing after a few moments that there was no predator there to thrash them. He hobbled pitifully to Goldengale's side, taking her up by the scruff as well as he could in such frail bones as his, and gave a gentle tug.

"Come on, Goldengale," he whispered, "Come here, honeycomb. It's okay. They're fine, they're..." Something ripped the cords in his chest, and he could no longer speak. He hadn't had a good view of the tunnels until now. There was dreadful, eerie silence, broken only by Goldengale's occasional sobs. The fight was over... where was his clan? One of the entrances was nearly enveloped in a thick dust, the kind kicked up only by a tunnel collapse. The other was clear.

When he eventually half-carried his niece's limp form over to Clovertwist, Barleytuft, Raventail, and Dappleshine, he turned around to look bleakly into the tunnel where Finchstar had entered. He looked at Raventail. He looked at Barleytuft. Each stare was completely blank. Another cord in his chest snapped against his ribs. Aspenheart gulped. Another few beats of silence. Facing the tunnels, the medicine cat called out for his clan. Survivors, his mind whispered. Shut up, he whispered back.

"WindClan!" he yelled in a strangled, throaty voice, "R-etreat! Retreat! It's over!" His eyes hit his white paws, stained with a season or two's worth of poultice. Poultice. Right. There were still duties to be performed. Allowing Barleytuft and Clovertwist to take the lead on Goldengale's desperation, Aspenheart picked up his herbs and faced Raventail. Another cord tugged; the tangy smell of blood encrusted on his deputy's pelt hit his nose. Pressing cobwebs to the deepest cuts, he kept his eyes stubbornly locked on his patient. He refused to glance back at the tunnels, he refused to see who would answer his call. After a moment, he blinked. His paws stopped moving. Something more dreadful was in the air.

"Finchstar?"

Aspenheart stumbled a few feet towards the tunnel. Patience and tenderness, compassion and resolve. His oath as a medicine cat came unraveling.

"Finchstar, stop that, you know I hate the jokes!"

Softness. Temperance. A brave face for WindClan, a success story. The broken 'paw who made something of himself. The speaker of the ancestors.

"FINCHSTAR, IF YOU DO NOT MOVE YOUR STARCLAN FORSAKEN TAIL OUT OF THAT TUNNEL!"

They need someone to heal their wounds. You can't trouble them with the scars on your hide.

"Barleytuft, where did he go? You saw him go in there! Don't tell me he disappeared!"

The last cord snapped.

Aspenheart's belly hit the soft ground underneath him, his joints buckling under the weight of the world for the very first time.

"FINCHSTAR!" he might have shouted. Every scream was wordless. Tears blurred his vision, his mouth hung open as if he were speaking. Merely a gentle hiss of air escaped his maw. There was nothing left to say.

The matching piece of his soul, for all he knew, was buried under four foxlengths of rock.

Aspenheart used Heal on Raventail, restoring 5 HP and using 15 stamina.

Aspenheart
40/40 HP
55/70 SP (-15)

Raventail
90/100 HP (+5)
270/280 SP

Crowpaw held still, listening. Oh, StarClan, no. They’re leaving. He began yowling in earnest from the open tunnel, trying to spring up, doing his best to get away from the fox holding him captive. “Help! Don’t leave! Spotpaw and I are in here! Goldengale! Aspenheart! Anyone!” Another creature entered on Spotpaw’s tail, a massive, black dog, the one he had attacked with Raventail.

He could only hope that they heard him.

There was too much commotion, and Clovertwist didn't understand what was going on.

Barleytuft stared with horror. Nothing made any sense. All around him everyone was yowling. The battle had started and then crumbled to a stop. What had happened? Had anyone followed any part of the plan the way they were supposed to?

Goldengale's cries drew them both to her, but they just looked at her helplessly.

Awareness came flooding in. He would never forget what that sound meant. The first tunnel was gone. Without Finchstar to signal the collapse, their whole plan crumbled to pieces. A yowl split the air behind him—Goldengale’s voice, twisted in a way he’d never heard and never wished to hear again, its meaning clear beyond words, in its tone and in the lack of an answering cry. With a desperate hiss, Raventail lashed out toward the dog as it fled. He fell short by a full tail-length. The beast disappeared into the second tunnel unscathed, right behind a fluffy black-and-orange tail.

Then Goldengale was lurching toward them, gasping out what could only be an explanation, however little sense it made. Raventail narrowed his eyes against the world’s wavering, nausea and confusion mounting somewhere between his ears. Puddlepaw was dead. Puddlepaw had been dead since before he’d left. He’d watched Finchstar haul her body out of the tunnels. Finchstar. The tunnelers had been buried. Spotpaw and Crowpaw were doomed, dragged into the earth; on the moon-scorched moor, there was nowhere else to hide. Raventail remembered Barleytuft’s instructions: ”If a predator escapes that direction, let them go.” Had it been anything else, he would have disobeyed. ”We can’t risk a rescue.” He couldn’t. He was worse than useless underground, and the cat who had so often guided him was dead. Grousefrost. Ploverpuddle. Finchstar how many times over, how many lives would it take for him to dig himself out, if he could at all—

It wasn’t the shouting that brought Raventail back, but the abrupt quiet afterward. Freshly applied cobwebs clung to the deepest gashes in his skin, stinging only somewhat less than the night wind had. Aspenheart. Aspenheart, caved in on himself, pointed toward the remaining tunnel. No sound. No motion. Neither dog nor fox nor Clanmate poked their heads above the surface.

”We will all return with our lives.”

They had already lost.

From that tunnel came a voice. An apprentice’s voice. At once, Raventail realized the dog hadn’t torn them apart after all. It wasn’t hope, they were well beyond hope, yet he staggered forward at a walk, then very much at a run, yowling his reply to the two cats who still had a chance: ”We're still here! Crowpaw! Spotpaw!” StarClan knew he wouldn’t get far in the tunnel itself no matter what waited for him in there, but the alternative was unforgivable.

Goldengale collapsed on herself as Aspenheart approached, his voice soft and caring. He dragged her back to the main part of the remnants of the group, her blue eyes wide but unseeing, shaking from her nose to her tail tip. This couldn't be happening. This was all a nightmare, sent by the Dark Forest. She would wake soon, and all would be well. A yowling voice swung her head slowly towards Aspenheart, where he stood yowling for a retreat. She felt nothing, unable to even force herself to her paws. She would die here, along with her mate and their son, if she had it her way.

And then another voice sounded. Another tom, but much, much younger. A voice she knew as well as her own, one she had studied and adored since his first sounds. Sudden light flickered in the depths of her eyes, and she dragged herself to her paws, her mouth opening as she ran for the tunnel entrance. "Crowpaw, hang on! I'm coming!" Brushing past Raventail, she slipped into the entrance to the tunnel, heading for the voice she had heard. She could scent the dog and the fox just ahead, their scents mingled with Crowpaw's and Spotpaw's. Claws extended as she reached the grouping of them, she charged headfirst into a large being that sat poised over a smaller one, one she recognized as her son. Grasping the fox's scruff in her jaws, she shook as hard and violently as she could.

Goldengale used Scruff Shake, dealing 5 damage and costing 25 SP. Fox is stunned for two turns.

Fox:
12/75 HP (-5)
180/200 SP

Goldengale:
60/60 HP
110/200 SP (-25)




Dappleshine's heart broke for the golden-furred she-cat. The sound that came from her was one of the purest pain and heartbreak, and Dappleshine hated that the fox had been able to pull away from them all so suddenly and silently as the dog had attacked. Their strategy had been flawless, something she had never before seen or experienced. There was no way these were normal predators, no chance in StarClan. More and more chaos surrounded them, and the ex-RiverClan she-cat felt very out of place as she looked to Raventail for direction. The medicine cat was yowling for Finchstar, Goldengale sobbing for the losses of her family, when a small voice echoed out of the tunnel the predators had disappeared into along with the apprentices.

Moving alongside Raventail, she picked up her pace as Goldengale darted by. She recognized the look in her eyes, it was one of a mother preparing to defend her kits. There had to be something she could do to help... Anything. The entrance to the tunnels grew larger, and soon she was walking into it. The air was immediately different, stiff and stagnant, carrying the scent of blood and fear and desperation. She couldn't see anything, not even her own whiskers. It was just like the tunnel leading to the Moonstone.... Wait. It was just like the tunnel leading to the Moonstone, except the walls were dirt instead of stone, and at the end wasn't the promise of sharing tongues with StarClan, instead an unknown terror waited within the depths. She could still scent Goldengale just ahead, her whiskers brushing the sides of the tunnel, and as Goldengale launched her attack Dappleshine knew what she could do to help.

A large beast to the side smelled of Raventail's blood, and the she-cat deduced that this was the black dog that had attacked. Grasping it's tail between her teeth, she pulled as hard as she could before grasping the scruff of one of the small figures nearby (Spotpaw). Turning her away from the sounds of furious battle, she set Spotpaw down, nudging her with her nose desperately. "Go, hurry, the others are waiting. Stay close to them. Raventail is just outside the tunnel. Now hurry!" Carefully she began to scent for the other apprentice, finally finding him where the scent of fox lingered the strongest. Grasping his scruff, she turned and began to head away from the sound of battle, calling around the apprentice's fur. "Goldengale! They're out, I have them!"

Focusing on the tom carried gently between her jaws, she hurried along towards the entrance to the tunnel. Hopefully Goldengale would be right behind her....

Dappleshine used Tail Yank, dealing 7 damage and costing 10 SP. Black Dog is stunned for one turn.

Black Dog:
61/75 HP (-7)
180/200 SP

Dappleshine
80/80 HP
215/240 SP (-10)




Goldengale hadn't even realized she had been followed into the tunnels until the voice of the previously RiverClan cat reached her ears. She claimed that she had the two apprentices, and sure enough, around the blood and fear and adrenaline Goldengale could barely distinguish their scents leading away, back towards the entrance to the tunnel. She turned, preparing to take her chance, when a sudden realization hit. She would lead them right back, and they would continue to haunt the waking moments of the clan. She would always have to fear for her son, especially now that Grousefrost was gone. No, she couldn't allow that to happen. She refused to. Taking in the scent of her dearly loved son, she made her choice. The root should be around here somewhere.... Where was it....

Finally, her paws found it. Hoping, praying that Dappleshine had enough time to usher both of the apprentices out, she looked towards the entrance, her heart silently calling to all of her loved ones. She turned back, eyes peering through the darkness at the two beasts she knew were there, and she sent a silent prayer to StarClan as she closed her eyes and tugged hard at the stick holding the tunnel up. I'll see you soon, my love. Crowpaw.... Always remember that I love you, so incredibly much. I'll watch you from the stars. As the tunnel began to cave in around her, she took a final deep breath and prepared to meet her fate. Something seemed off though, the tunnel was collapsing more behind her than in front of her, and the thought of the collapse not killing the two beasts, only taking her, made her choke. The tears she hadn't fully registered clung to her cheeks as the dirt swallowed her, a final desperate wish to the stars on her lips. Take them with me, StarClan.

The second tunnel has been caved in, Goldengale, Fox, and Black Dog within.

Goldengale is KO'ed.

The fox growled, her blood splattering all over the incoming cat as it launched itself at her. She was expecting a fight, but... This must be kin. Prey never fought this hard, unless for one of their own. It was cute. But the dog's words still rung in her ears. If she was gone, she was alone. They never traveled alone. The newcoming cat was distracted. Looking for something. The stick. The she-cat was lucky she got to it first. "He's so pretty, he's mine." The red fox growled at the golden she-cat as the tunnels came crumbling down. With a flash, the fox took off further down in the tunnels, going to go meet her new best friend.

Spotpaw felt horror prick up her pelt. Until she felt teeth grasping her scruff. Through all the craziness Spotpaw reconized the scent of Dappleshine. Before she knew it she was set down and hurried off to join the others.
Just then soon after Dappleshine had come out with Crowpaw the tunnel had collapsed. "NO!" Spotpaw wailed. Her mentor was in there. Spotpaw ran towards the tunnel and started digging rapidly while tears ran down her cheeks. Grousefrost and Ploverpuddle were no where to be seen and they were close the Crowpaw. Spotpaw would not let Crowpaw be all alone. "Don't worry Goldengale! I'll save you!" Spotpaw wailed.

In a flash, his mother was there, as was Dappleshine, a warrior that had joined the Clan when he was a kit. Before he knew it, he and Dappleshine were outside the tunnel, Goldengale inside. Crowpaw hardly had time to breathe before the tunnel came crashing down, on top of his mother, on top of Spotpaw’s mentor. On top of the cat who he had loved most in the world.
“Goldengale!”
His voice was hoarse, as he sprang to the front of the tunnel, digging, clawing, trying to get his mother out. But it was hopeless. The hole had collapsed, and the earth was too much to push away. ”Mom...” The dark apprentice choked out, tears in his eyes.
But he couldn’t cry here. Not in front of his Clan. In front of Spotpaw. In front of everyone. So he put his paws back to work, steely reserve beginning to shine in his eyes. “We have to try.”
Crowpaw took his place beside Spotpaw, frantically pushing away the earth, unsure whether he would see his mother, coughing back to life, or a body, suffocated and cold. He vaguely noticed Grousefrost gone, but in his grief and determination, his mind paid it no notice.
