Fire to Save the Clan

[Firestar's tone of voice suggests that he is just barely keeping calm -- he sounds rather angry, actually.]

I'm sorry to be coming forward now. I have...made warnings about this in the past, but it appears in my absence things have only intensified.

My name is Firestar, and I have had dealings with the groups of rogue felines that are having their way with Neon City. They call themselves BloodClan. I only know what I do from looking around the D-Comms, but it appears your current...problems are caused from them.

I do not have a Clan to fight alongside me. And those I do have are scattered. But it is my responsibility to offer my assistance in whatever way you need it. Scourge-- BloodClan must not be able to continue to cause these horrid attacks.

I apologize for not doing anything about them before. I was...indisposed, but that doesn't excuse anything. I only hope we can share what we know to end their reign as soon as possible.

[There is the sound of a roar of pain -- Thundermane -- and the sound of swords hitting something-- it sounds like armor. Chaos.]

--Help! There's a Digimon attacking me outside of Tetha-- Come fast!

[The message cuts off.]

[The D-Comm clicks on and a yowl is heard first.]

I will tell you again, creature, I need to return to my Clan. If you don't tell me where I am--

[And in response is a gasp, sounds like something is struggling.]

I-it's j-just me, Firestar-s-sama, l-let me go. You-- I don't know how--

[A hiss.] My name is Fireheart. You keep calling me a leader. I don't know what kind of cat you're supposed to be, imitating a Lion, but you're not going to trick me. [Voice raises.] Any rogues watching, come out! I'm not afraid of you! I am deputy of ThunderClan!!

Firest-- Fireheart. I-- I'm not an enemy. I'm a-- ...I'm fr-from-- please just let me up. Please.

[Pause.] ...I'll remove my paw from your throat. Any fast moves and I-- I won't hesitate to unsheathe my claws again.

...My name is Thundermane. I'm from a group of cats beyond Twolegplace. Foxes are invading our den. I came to get...help. I heard about ThunderClan's-- ...hospitality. You were the only one I could think of. I don't know where we are. I-- I got lost following you. There's no one here, but the device around your neck. It looks to be of some help. If any friendly cats are around maybe we could use it. For help.

...You know if you're leading me into a trap I'll flay your fur.

I-- I know. I wouldn't be foolish to mess with Fires-- Fireheart. Stories of how you lead your clan out of the burning forest have spread. Here-- let me look at that device--

[Recording ends.]

...Being sad takes too much energy...

Coronamun-kun'll remember me one day. I'll see Lola again. I've got Firestar-sama and Graystripe-san and Jayfeather-kun and...I'll be okay...



( LYRICS.Collapse )

...Things certainly have changed in the time I've been frozen. I haven't seen that many leave at one time before... In any case. I hope those who have returned find peace in their homes, and others...are well.

[Sudden surprised mrrrow?] What's this? Something new in my D-Reader...

...

A mass-send of potions from Yzma. Several days ago, probably before she returned to her world. Potions for my usual cat transformation and...a variety of others.

...

"You'll make good use of them." I certainly will. Thank you, Yzma. Amazing, isn't it, Thundermane? I never thought I'd get so comfortable with Twolegs, and... Thundermane? What's wrong?

...Firestar-sama, how come I can't talk to Lola anymore? Sh-she's not answering her Rise Bracer and we always have those on us?

...Oh, Thundermane.

Does she not want to talk to me or something? That has to be the reason, because she can't be...

...Come on, Thundermane. I know a tree where there's cream. And milk. You need that right now.

[Locked to KK!Karin, Kazune, and Kazusa]

I assume Kazune is still frozen, but...I heard about what happened at the Silver Dragon and I'm sorry. Have you found a new place to live? I would offer the park, but Graystripe, Feathertail, and Jayfeather may not be comfortable with that idea.

[/locked]

[Locked from Jayfeather]

I discovered my grandson has been taking poppy seeds to help him sleep, and even then he doesn't seem to be getting much rest. I've heard him talking in his sleep and he's been thrashing around. I would usually ask the medicine cat what to do, but, well...Jayfeather is the medicine cat. I know many here are not familiar with the way cats work, but...is there anyone who has any suggestions on what I can do?

...So you say it's been a year - a...a season. Great StarClan...I haven't seen them in a whole season.

...Firestar-sama...

...But...but still...though I want more than anything to go home...I don't regret it. I don't regret being brought here. I've learned so much about other species - so much I myself had forgotten - and made so many new friends.

With...without you, Firestar-sama, I'd still be in D'Ango Forest, only dreaming. I'd still be...a coward. And I never would've met Coronamon-kun or Lola or any of my other friends! So...even though you want to go home, and I want to get you there-

I understand. My trusted partner. ...No, no, I don't regret it. [sigh] ...And even after a season...this thing still acts up.

Eh? Firestar-sama?

[Mrrow of laughter, slightly purr] The Digital World just heard us, Thundermane.



[ooc: And Ari couldn't help it. I don't regret anything either, guys. ^_^]

A new arrival by the name of Scourge has just introduced himself and his....endeavor of BloodClan.

I urge all of you to not listen to his lies, for any Clan he leads is only to benefit himself. He...may not be as dangerous as others here, but he is not to be taken lightly just because he is small. In my world...he killed a fellow leader with one blow. All nine lives, gone in a flash.

...he is not...someone to be taken lightly.

Um, Firestar-sama wouldn't want me saying this, but...I have to.

Something...happened to him during the invasion and now he's very...distant. And brooding. It just isn't like him. Can I - can anyone help me out? I really don't know why he could be acting like this...

[Growl, voice of Thundermane - deeper than usual - cuts in, very serious]

I need- I need help! My Tamer is- I need help defending him! Tetha Park!
