As her clanmates joined the fray, Nightdancer felt the adrenaline rush. Watching as even one of the elders joined the fight to defend the camp, and in horror as the dog made him its target. She lashed out wildly at the dog, claws digging until she drew blood with every strike. This was ThunderClan's home, and it would not be lost to them!
Nightdancer used Front Paw Strike + Desperate Blows on Dog #1, dealing 8+5 damage and costing 14 SP!
A sense of relief flooded over Acornpaw as her Clanmates came to her aid - her heart swelling at the sight that Briarrose was the first. Her joy and relief however was shattered as the dog spun and grabbed Lichenpaw - pulling him from the ground as it violently shook him. A horrified gasp escaped her. "Li-Lichenpaw!"she cried, before she darted forward and sank her teeth in the nearest of the dog's leg, hoping the pain would be enough for it to consider dropping her denmate - digging her claws in as well.
She didn't care if it turned its attention on her, she just had to protect Lichenpaw!
Acornpaw used Snap and Desperate Blows on Dog #2, dealing 10 (6+4) damage and costing 14 (7+7) stamina.

❖ Thetorbie warrior had to hold back a smile as the clan's bountiful force of apprentices, Darkspirit, and even the elder, Whitewhisker, joined in the fights. Numbers truly helped in battles, especially if they all helped one another. It was a sobering thing to see. ღ
❖ However,the lightness in her chest evaporated completely when the dog she'd been fighting instantly lunged for an apprentice—Lichenpaw had caught its eye. Horror flickered across her face as the beast snatched the apprentice by the scruff and shook him around with little effort. "S-Stars! Lichenpaw!" She hadn't been fast enough to keep the dog away. She hadn't been strong enough again. Guilt was crushing her chest but she forced herself to focus; She forced herself to breathe. The apprentice was down for now but she hoped that he would be fine in the long run. It had terrified her to see Lichenpaw get snatched up in that way. She couldn't let that happen again! She needed to push herself to her limits if she wanted to prevent something even worse from happening. She glanced at Darkspirit before looking away. Both warriors needed to keep the dog from targeting the apprentices. ღ
❖ Takingadvantage of the dog's momentary distraction, the warrior stood on her back legs and brought down two forceful paws onto its head. It felt good seeing it go down. She spared a glance at Lichenpaw's form. Please be okay... ღ
《❥Briarrose used [Upright Lock] on Dog 2! It dealt -10 damage. It cost her -10 [SP].
He felt skin split beneath his claws... warm, wet blood coating his pads. Lichenpaw grinned and dug in, knuckle-deep, aiming to do as much damage as possible. That's when the dog turned on him, ripping the young cat away like he was no more than a flea. Pain shot through his body, and as the dog shook him viciously, darkness crept in at the corners of his vision. He'd been having fun, at first, but now terror gripped him tighter than the mongrel that had him in a vice. Lichenpaw felt the dog's hot breath wash over him, and it was all he could do not to gag at the acrid scent that filled his nostrils.
He heard several cats cry his name, and it was enough to snap him out of the looming unconsciousness. The dog held him by one hind leg, plus his tail, and Lichenpaw twisted around, hissing and spitting, and made an attempt to rake his claws across its muzzle... but he was too weak, and his paw never even made contact.
The deputy had been milling over the events of the gathering and all that had occurred after- thoughts specifically churning around what Fawnshine had seen, and taken her leader and some of their most experienced warriors away from camp to investigate. The events of the past few moons had just left her so exhausted, the cold only aiding in leaving her bedridden or hiding away from her clanmates as she was both too ashamed and too tired for much more. Today had been such a day, Mottlestar asking the molly to remain in camp while she took the others. It had been in the name of defending it - but truly, what was there to defend it from? Thistlemask knew the truth; she was becoming weak and useless. It was only a matter of time before she would find herself replaced.
There was sudden commotion outside her den - well, not her den, she had decided to curl up in Mottlestar's nest in her sadness today, and she raced out to find dogs invading the camp and her clanmates doing their best to evade them. For the moment, it looked stable, and Thistlemask pelted towards the nursery to ensure the queens and defenseless kits were okay. With a quick poke around, satisfied nothing was amiss in the den aside from a strong smell of fear, she bolted back out, throwing herself into battle against the dog that seemed to be fairing the best.
Sharp claws extended out as she raked them across the beast's muzzle and nose, skin tearing from its lips with her claws, her attacking style a grim reminder of her days as a rogue. For the first time in a long time she felt alive, eyes ablaze and pelt itching for more. The slumped over body of an apprentice caught the corner of her eye, and she grit her teeth in fear and anger. "Keep them off the apprentices! Whatever it takes, we will use their bodies as a warning to never mess with ThunderClan!"
Turtlepaw had been hesitant to join in, fear keeping her rooted in one spot as she watched the viciousness of her dogs and the defense her clanmates put up, wishing desperately her mother was here to find comfort in. Her siblings had raced in with little to no issue, finding themselves coated in dirt and splattered blood within moments. All of her clan had - she even spotted an elder, and soon after the deputy had charged in, ripping into one of the dog's faces. What was she doing? She had to help. Surely she could - the calico moved one paw, and then another, before finding herself racing head-first into battle, slashing her claws at the closest dog, at any part she could reach. It was an icky feeling she didn't enjoy, but a necessary one to protect her home.
Thistlemask used Front Paw Strike and Dirty Trick on Dog #1, dealing 15 (8+7) damage and costing 14 SP! Turtlepaw used Front Paw Strike on Dog #1, dealing 6 damage and costing 7 SP!
The battle seemed to be going well enough. The dogs were swarmed with apprentices, warriors, and even an elder had joined in. Crimsonpaw was beginning to feel optimistic. They could do this, ThunderClan could fight off these beasts! That was untill the dog suddenly took Lichenpaw in its jaws and shook him viciously before throwing him aside. No... NO! Please be okay, you have to be okay! Crimsonpaw attacked the dog again, snapping at one of it's legs before lashing out at it's chest with his claws. Again, and again, and again he hit it. They had to take it down before it hurt anyone else!

A hiss of pure disgust escaped from the Clan's oldest apprentice as the dog turned it's attentions to the elder who had joined in, brave as any warrior. These canines truly had no honor, and Patchpaw would take great pleasure in sinking her teeth into whatever bit of dog she could get her mouth on.

It had all happened so fast that Curlypaw stood frozen in fear. First Clouddream at the Thunderpath, now his clanmates? Watching as the dogs crashed through camp and began to attack his clanmates, he couldn't believe his eyes. Why was StarClan allowing so much pain and suffering to run amidst the forest?
Ears perked, some-cat yowled a name that was all too familiar to him; Lichenpaw, his brother and only true family left. Twisting around, his heart raced as he caught eyes of the dog that was holding him with an iron grip. No! He couldn't lose his brother, not like this! He hated fighting, he truly did, but if it meant protecting his clan... then so be it.
Not thinking at all about any sort of plan, Curlypaw raced forward. Luckily, the dog's legs seemed a bit wobbly and blood stained its pelt. Hopefully, it would be tired enough to drop Lichenpaw and hopefully leave camp. If not, he was ready to use all his might to fight it off, if it meant protecting the ones he loved.
Jumping forward, he swung a paw up and with a solid 'bap' sound, he hit the canine on the top of its head as hard as he could. Landing on his feet, he took a step back, praying to StarClan it wouldn't take things any further.
Curlypaw used Front Paw Blow; dealing -4 HP and costing -5 SP. Dog #2 has been K.O.'ed.
Sunpaw couldn't hold back his wail of horror as the dogs attacked his clanmates, sending splatters of blood everywhere. Where was Goldenpaw? Blazefang? Fear churned inside him as he lashed out with his claws.

Echopaw panted as the dogs were defeated, he didn't wait to see what his clanmates did to the bodies, he hurried to the medicine den, poking his head in and sniffed, "Fawnshine, Firepaw, the dogs are defeated." he called, sides heaving, "Whitewhisker and Lichenpaw were hurt." he added looking briefly at the pile of cobwebs and herbs laid on the wall, "Should I bring some cobwebs?" he meowed tilting his head.
Whitewhisker took a bit of a hit from the dog but soon after it seemed an army of apprentices and warriors quickly rushed it and drove both dogs away. He panted looking around for any further threats but it did not appear to be any more.
They had won! they had defended the camp from the onslaught threats. The old tom licked at his wound but was alright overall.
