{ open }

Bluefang stayed hidden in the tall cattails of Cattail Pond, glaring at the ThunderClan cats. He hated ThunderClan. He would make Bumblestar perish at his claws if it came down to it...

High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Finally. For sky's sake, it felt as if she'd been waiting forever. Had RiverClan become slugs in the time she'd ignored them?

Bumblestar turned as Gingerfrost appeared, with a... surprisingly small patrol. Her whiskers twitched. That was it? Seriously? She lifted her head, angling it over her shoulder to call out to the rest of her Clan, "Company's here! Be on your guard!" Ugh, they looked pathetic. Had someone already come down and beat on them before she could get to it?

She ran her tongue over her jaws, tilting her head at Beanstar and then Gingerfrost. "Long story short, we found RiverClan scent all over our side of the border. Prey scraps, pawprints, all undeniable evidence of trespass. Usually I'd think to ask you why at a Gathering, but given your history of dealing with certain problems-" a sneer tugged at her lips "-I highly doubt anything would've been done about it. This is about proving to you and the rest of your fish that we're no longer the Clan you get to mess with 'n get away with it. 'N if this is all you brought to deal with us?" A scoff left her. "I don't see this confrontation taking very long."

She paused, looking them over once more, then lifted her tail. "ThunderClan! Get these snakes outta our territory."

And without missing a beat, Bumblestar turned and launched herself at Beanstar, claws drawn and raised to rake down his head and slam his skull into the ground.

AS A REMINDER: Apprentices younger than SIX MOONS and those WITHOUT battle training should NOT be present here. Consequences will follow if they are.

Alderstep broke his stare at Sparrowpelt, reluctant to let it go but desperate to see what would happen next. His gaze swept over the small smattering of Riverclanners, noticing how iffy and not-strong they looked. Stars.

It was half-amusing to watch Gingerfrost attempt to propose a nice little diplomatic talk. Alderstep certainly knew that this was going to end in flashing claws, not in stuffy words. He kept his eyes on the fishcat deputy, though his ears angled toward his leader, a feeling of 'haha' bubbling inside of him. Something in the adrenaline high made him find this all worth a good laugh, and it didn't help that Bumblestar was good at talking.

Good things come to an end, though. Time to fight, even if he was definitely going to feel this tomorrow morning, though. Ugh. He wasn't sure if battle convention and etiquette meant he had to fight the other deputy, as he was a deputy himself, so he prowled over closer to where the fishcats had amassed, sharp green gaze on Gingerfrost as if he were challenging the other orange cat to make the first move.

If only these guys hadn't shown up. It would've made things easier, with no fight. Truly. But that wouldn't make sense for a clan not to retaliate when they lost territory. That made the fight inevitable. Alderstep let out a short breath, tensing up in preparation for what came next. A delicate dance with death. What a glamorous end to the evening.

*-Larkwing-*
She/her | 16 moons
A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes

Larkwing had forgone proper medical treatment, her back leg stung and the claw wound on her face had finally started to clot over. Not that it would stay clotted for very long. By all the stars she hoped that diplomacy was going to work, but Larkwing really held no illusions that that was going to happen and was quickly proven right. Great. Fantastic. Not a single break offered to RiverClan ever it seemed.

Bumblestar launched first, headed straight for Beanstar, and Larkwing briefly fretted that their leader would lose another life. Would it do a terrible amount of damage? To lose so many in such quick succession? Well, even if that were true, there wasn't time for her to dwell on anything more than the battle before them. Scanning the crowd of cats, all stronger than the battered RiverClan cats. They were outnumbered. Was a win even possible here? It didn't seem possible.

She couldn't immediately see the orange and white tom who had attacked her and Briarpaw, so she chose to go after some other cat, a yowl deep within her throat and tail lashing, she went after the first cat she saw instead, making absolutely sure it wasn't an apprentice - she would not stoop as low as the great and mighty Bumblestar had done with Briarpaw.

Finally! Some ACTION!
Grinning maniacally at the prospect of ripping someone limb from limb, the large Thunderclanner looked for his first victim. Death would come slowly to these fish faces! He'd make them cry! Laughing, he lunched himself into battle. " Scream and SUFFER!" Muscles bunching, he surged forward and attempted to tackle the nearest cat.

Spiderthroat
ThunderClan || Beefed Up Tier III
@FrostyGalaxy

Ears swiveled as he noticed a...a tiny patrol headed their way. Is that all they believed they needed? Such a tiny army, sad. Tail twitching as Bumblestar made the command, although the command itself made the tom pause. A. Because he didn't like being told what to do, he had half a mind to simply stand there out of spite. B. Snakes? Weren't they algae or slugs or something else? Something more water related surely. Snakes felt like either a them thing...or even a ShadowClan thing. RiverClan was no where near mighty enough to be on those tiers.

"Yer thinkin Slugs numbskull." he called out to the leader, although he doubted she heard him. He didn't put his full volume behind it. He'd fight, but not because he was told to, however, simply because he'd been itching to wreak some havoc. With that note, the Calico turned to go attack, but than swiftly realized he was face to face with a yowling Riverclanner. Due to the surprise she'd managed to scratch at his shoulder, and knock him backwards a few paces. Oh. That made him angry.

With a gutteral growl the Hornet steadied himself. Brows furrowed as he held a tight, yet small, frown. "I'll make sure your bones will collect moss on the forest floor." he hissed. Launching himself forwards, hoping to land his paws on her shoulders and bite.

Sharpclaw - The Grump
ThunderClan | Warrior | He/Him | 13 moons

Sharpclaw lifted his head, amber eyes squinting as a small RiverClan patrol came into view in the distance. Was that it? He was expecting the entire clan to show up, given the way his clanmates had attacked one of their warriors and apprentices unprovoked. Were they just that confident or did they just not care? Or, maybe they weren't here to fight at all. Whatever the reason, it did nothing to cull the ruthlessness in Bumblestar's words. Once the order to attack was fired out Sharpclaw hurled himself at the patrol, claws unsheathed and itching to tear the hides off those slugs.

Nightspark
RiverClan Lionheart
Purrks: Just a scratch (permanently active)

As he and his clanmates arrived, he instantly noticed the hostility of ThunderClan, he didn't liked it... It was soon confirmed when the Thunderclanners attacked, Nightspark instantly reacted, the adrenaline of the fight rushing through his veins, he jumped forward, intercepting a warrior which claws sunk into his flesh, but he didn't even felt something, not even a grumble or a movement on his face, the massive Lionheart said "Is that all what you got?", he even autorized himself to look around for a pair of seconds, he wouldn't respect his enemy this time, not for such a traitorous act coming from ThunderClan, he growled "StarClan, hear your sons and daughters in their time of need, grant me your strength and courage to face their enemies, let fury guide our claws, let vengeance be our song, we are the RiverClan, and our enemies shall fall!", zeal filled his eyes, and a fanatical fury took control of him, he was still babling prayers and curses on ThunderClan uncontrolably when he violently attacked the warrior...

Dragonflycliff

Claws out, battle ready, Dragonflycliff jumped at the nearest RiverClan warrior / apprentice, trying to pin them down and claw and bite them until they gave up and left. But it wasn't guaranteed to succeed. Smirking, she looked them in the eye. If they were going to die, it would be painful. And if she died... she was sure there'd be regret to all of RiverClan.

Sharpclaw - The Grump
ThunderClan | Warrior | He/Him | 13 moons

He snarled, wincing as claws connected with flesh and the fish-eater in front of him babbled a bunch of nonsense. 'Stars, were all River-rats this crazy?' Sharpclaw's sneer gave way to a smirk, his tongue darting out to swipe across the blood dribbling down his maw. That fish-face had managed to leave a scratch with his violent attack, but it would take more than that to faze the striped tom.

"Hah! Is that all ya got? Keep prayin' to those dead cats an' see where it gets ya!" He jeered, before raising a paw to swipe at Nightspark's face, aiming to rake his claws across it.
