Sablestrike trotted into Fourtrees hot on the heels of his fellow clanmates. His sight was filled with twolegs and the filth that they had tracked in, but there was something that stood out to him. Around the mass of twolegs were those things that they had used to trap the clan cats moons ago, and they were full. Before he could get a word out, Iceheart and Forestbreeze peeled off from the group, aiming for a trap held one of their own. A dog charged, and Locustcall joined the fight. Stars, if he was any slower than he would be the last to join in. Charging for the dog, Sablestrike leapt and slammed into its hind leg, sinking claws and teeth into the beast's flesh. He was glad that Iceheart would be the one dealing with those twolegs traps, this was the more entertaining assignment anyway.
Sablestrike used Snap on Dog #2, dealing 8 HP and costing 7 SP

Sootspirit didn't really know what was happening anymore. It seemed like he blinked and he went from his usual corner in the crowded nest and then he was in this.. container? Cage? He thought he heard anyway.. The dark tom pressed himself as close as he could to the inside edge of the cage, not liking any of the noises he was hearing.. Twolegs.. other cats.. dogs. What the stars was happening?
Amber eyes peered out of the front end of the cage as he started to hear more chaos going on.. Were the clans here? It was hard to smell anything from inside the cage, but he could scent traces of them.. Was Riverclan here too? Was Perchstar or Poppyshine? He could feel his heart beat pick up, but he wasn't going to get his hopes up. What did other clans care for a skin and bones Riverclan warrior?
--
Thornstalker didn't need much else. As soon as Birdstar gave her commands, the small pale warrior was quick to follow her leader into action. She was quick on her feet, trying her best to deal as much damage to the dog as possible. Anything to keep attention away from the cats trying to free their companions.
Thornstalker attempted to use Belly Rake on Dog #1. Failed. -25 SP
Birdstar: 58/80 HP 163/170 SP
Dog #1: 85/100 HP 170/200 SP
Thornstalker: 45/50 HP 95/120 SP

He didn't know what to expect. When he accompanied Mottlestar to the fourtrees he was hoping for once to see something good, but this? Twolegs, dogs, and cats all swarmed the clearing.. What was happening here? The silver warrior listened intently to his leader, nodding in response to her command, sticking close by her side. Of course it didn't take long for everything to descend into chaos. He wanted to find his daughter but he didn't want to abandon Mottlestar either.. Thorns what should he do? Soon he decided he should keep a dog distracted that was approaching them. The senior warrior was quick to take action.

Beechfang snarled, snapping and clawing at the twoleg who held her. The twoleg hadn't been expecting the formerly caged cat to be so unruly, and that was their mistake. Beechfang dropped to the ground, darting around the cage while the twoleg turned at the sounds of snarling and barking from behind. Beechfang's eyes widened as she spotted the cats locked in combat with the dogs, tail lashing as she recognized several pelts among those fighting. Birdchaser... Birdstar, now, she thought. Starlingflare, Shrikestar, the Windclanner who had told them of Dawnhawk's presence all those moons ago. Her claws itched as she turned back toward Plumleaf's cage, desperately working at the lock mechanism once more. She needed to free her, and quickly.
---
Stoneheart finally wriggled free of the twoleg's grasp, and crouched, shaking. Wide eyes met the gaze of the cat trapped in the cage, and she shook her head, moving toward the lock again. She would get him free of this, she had to.
Beechfang and Stoneheart are free of their twolegs and waiting to try again.

Batpaw knew he should have just taken off from the gathering even before the skies had started to rumble. Dogs filling the forest, cats that had gone missing before he was even born... Annoying. Dirty. But the clans were watching. He had no idea who the majority of these cats were, but it was on sight.
Batpaw used Snap on dog #4, dealing 6 damage and costing 7 SP.
Batpaw also used Desperate Blows on dog #4, dealing an additional 4 damage and costing 7 SP.

Shrikestar was on guard, eyes bouncing from point to point. He had to make sure Amberstone and Coyotegrin had enough time to free their clanmates, and anyone else they found, without being messed with. Unfortunately, that didn't mean he wouldn't be messed with. A dog came bounding from his blind spot, grabbing him in its jaws and thrashing him about. His eyes bounced around in his head, and he groaned as he hit the ground, unable to pick himself up at first. However, an apprentice from another clan bravely ran in, attacking the dog with as much force as they could muster. It was appreciated. "Thank you," he coughed out, pushing himself back onto his paws slowly. This dog would not take any of his clanmates from him. Not today.

Before she knew it, the dogs emerged from the midst of the Twolegs, growling and snapping. Though Perchstar's fur stood on end at the sight of the predators, she gave Stormdance one last nod before running into the battle. She saw cats from nearly every Clan here. At least the stars had been fair, it seemed. She spent a brief moment searching for Mottlestar and Birdstar, who she'd caught a glance of before--would they be okay?--but her attention was immediately grabbed by a dog in combat with one lone warrior, while most of the other beasts were being tag-teamed by cats of all Clans. You can do this. A dog is nowhere near as scary as a fox. If you can beat a fox, you can beat a dog. The stars wouldn't send you here just to die. Determined, she ran forward, slashing at the predator with her claws.
Perchstar used Front Paw Strike on Dog #3, dealing 12 (10+2) damage and costing 7 stamina.
❖ Forestbreezelet out a soft, shaky breath as Locustcall joined him against the dog not too long after. His nervous energy dispelled even more once Sablestrike jumped in as well. They could take this dog on! Just hold on... ღ
❖ Hisears twitched when he heard Iceheart's and Honeylight's voices ringing clearer than before. He spared a split second to see what was going on and nearly choked when he saw Honey's trap give way. He was freed! His son was finally coming home! He desperately wanted to run over and fuss over the younger tom but he quickly pulled himself together and focused back on the battle. The true family reunion will come later but now, he needed to concentrate. ღ
❖ Thegrey-and-white furred tom was startled when the dog lunged forward furiously, its eyes clearly set on Sablestrike. Without thinking, the large warrior sped over and shoved the other tom away, teeth grinding as he felt the beast's jaws clamp down on his scruff. He was awkwardly lifted and then shaken around like a piece of fresh kill before being thrown in a random direction. ღ
❖ Hegrunted as he landed roughly, air knocked out of his lungs. He wheezed as he tried to right himself. The whole world around him was spinning. Come on! Hurry! He needed to get up and help the others out! ღ
《❥Forestbreeze used [Blocking Leap] for Sablestrike! It dealt him the previous -10 damage + Stun instead. It cost him -5 [SP]. All previous "damage" to Sablestrike has been disregarded! Forestbreeze is no longer [Stunned]!

Sprucebark was so relived to see his older brother standing right next to him just outside the cage.
"sTormm" he cheered quietly so happy to once again see a clanmate again. He felt a wave of relief wash over him that he was gonna get out of here. His brother was working on the tricky lock best he could.
That gate was the only thing preventing Sprucebark from giving storm a big hug right now. The sound of dogs and cats fighting in the distance grew and spruce got worried looking around his limited point of view alot of it blocked from the cage, he would have to observe through the small holes and cracks it had.
He didnt want storm to be caught too though but he felt his brother was so close to getting it figured out.
He kept a vigiliant lookout for any twoleg or dog sneaking up behind storm.

Comfreyheart
of Thunderclan
Her heart felt a bit faster than it should. It fluttered from anxiety. It always came when she was away from her kids and apprentices. What if something was going on back at camp? What if she wasn’t there to protect them? The danger is here, she reminded herself, And they’re far away from it. Her senses flicked at the rotten scent of twolegs. Suddenly she couldn’t wait to get in there and destroy them. Comfreyheart looked to Mottlestar with a determined nod. The group continued into the clearing.
The molly’s nostrils flared at the smell of so many. She wanted to bite out the throats of all of them. She flexed her claws quietly. “Sure, but our own come first.” She flicked her tail to signal for Murkyripple to follow, and carefully eyed the dogs as she snuck toward the strong smell of cats. She separated the rest from Thunderclan, and targeted a particular table that avoided the gaze of most twolegs.
Once under the platform, she silently directed Murkyripple to be cautious and watch the twolegs nearby. Comfreyheart then softly hopped upon the table and started circling the box her brother Specklewish was in. “Be quiet, we’re getting you out,” she whispered. Comfreyheart found what seemed to be the key to defeating the contraption. She studied it for a moment before pawing at it. Eventually it gave, and the door swung open. “Get out of here, quick!” she told him, the hair on her back rising as she heard cats attacking dogs.
Comfreyheart turned to face the battle, counting four dogs and many cats. She saw Starlingflare battling one and instantly decided to join her clanmate. “Keep freeing cats as fast as you can,” she ordered Murkyripple before leaping into the fight. Her hind leg launched herself off the table, albeit not very powerfully. Still, she was able to grasp the hound’s neck. Using her weight she smashed its head into the ground and tore its skin with her claws. She bared sharp teeth and spat at it with her hiss, “Vile dog!”
[Comfreyheart freed Specklewish and used Jumping Strike on Dog #3, dealing 10 damage and costing 7 stamina.]

With her balance regained and sense of urgency growing, Beechfang pawed at the locking mechanism of Plumleaf's cage once more. She needed to get herout of here,and then she needed to join the fight against the dogs.
Or another foxing twoleg could grab her. And she... Recognized this one. The golden-haired, blue-eyed twoleg that had held her captive once before. Dawnhawk in twoleg form, she swore it. Beechfang let out a furious yowl, twisting and trying to claw at the twoleg who just wouldn't leave her alone.
Beechfang is attempting to free Plumleaf. Attempt foiled by another filthy twoleg!
---
Stoneheart pawed at the twoleg mechanism again. She needed to get Crookedpaw free before the fighting got worse. This time the mechanism slipped free, and Stoneheart's claws caught the door, pulling it back "Come on!" She urged the tom, "Get out of there before that twoleg comes back!"
Stoneheart is attempting to free Crookedpaw. Attempt successful!
