The Rock-Caves

Silvermask threw herself against Shadow, tumbling into a heap. As much as she hated Angelstar, she didn't deserve this...

Shadow felt his head smack against a rock. He snarled, wrestling Silvermask. This time, he wanted to be the best. Rolling to one side, he smashed her into a rock. She growled weakly, a rock jutting through her side. Shadow smirked, lunging. Silver lunged too....

Angelstar flicked her claws between them, her claws impacting their noses.

Pain. Silvermask felt claws. But she had jumped with such power the claws drove in, and in...

Shadow fell backwards, taking the oppatunity, he snatched Silvermask's paws from beneth her.

Angelstar continued lunging, throwing herself between them and battering them with fast flicks of her wings. "STOP"

Shadow loomed over Angelstar, blood on his pelt. He grabbed her neck, throwing her against the rock.
Silvermask took the advantage and lept for Shadow's face. Shadow pulled her tail.
Silvermask then grabbed shadows paw, and pullled. Shadow screamed as it dislocated. The scream sent out a shock wave.
Silvermask smashed into a rock.

Celeheit followed Silvermask's scent and was abruptly thrown off her feet. ok... she thought. Mass fight scene. She snarled at Silvermask not knowing that she was helping Angelstar and hurtled towards her neck with claws out.

Silvermask kicked the new-commer in the face, as hard as she could. Pain rippled through her side and she lept onto Shadow's Back.
Shadow swore, rolling over to crush Silvermask. Silvermask jumped up, ripping half her back skin off. She pinned Shadow to the ground. She began to bash Shadow against the rocks.
Shadow blacked out.
Silvermask dropped him, painting.

Celeheit hissed in as the pain exploded causing her to wince. She lashed out at Silvermask aiming for her chest.

Silvermask wobbled, almost falling over. Shadow was a strong wolf. Shadow was on the bad side. Shadow would have been trained how to fight. Even though she was a warrior, Silvermask had never been trained.
But still. Silvermask's chest added to the painfull areas. Silver growled slightly, leaping onto the wolves head.

Celeheit felt teeth pierce the skin covering her skull and immediately reacted by kicking Silvermask on the stomach. She's good, Celeheit thought feeling frustrated. She's beating me up! But no one, absolutely no one will defeat her! Feeling the determination surge through her she went into the offence, kicking, biting, scratching and hitting the opponent.

Silvermask fell to the ground tired by fightning so much in the space of an hour. Why was the Starcliff beating her when she had saved one of their scouts? Silvermask waited for the stranger warrior to draw near. She brought her strength together, and flipped, smashing her back paws against the stranger's jaws.

Angelstar stood, activating her Starshield and sent the wolves in the battle exploding in all directions.

Blood trickled out of Celeheit's mouth and her jaw throbbed. She was about to land a blow on Silvermask's chest again when Angelstar turned on her starshield. Celeheit smashed onto a boulder and lay still. Get up, she ordered herself and struggled to her feet ((paws?)) leaning against the rock.

Silvermask lay still. Her breathing was slow, Her power wasn't going to help her. Trying to steady her breathing, she knew she had to get to Moonriver. But Moonriver had problems. Silvermask didn't move. It was a matter of time...

Celeheit staggered towards Silvermask to finish her off. Intruders deserve to die. That is the rule. She finally reached Silvermask but hesitated. She actually didn't want to be a killer. Threatening or banishing was fine to her, but killing her own kind? That just seemed too brutal and primitive. I'm not any of that, I'm not a murderer. she thought. Right?

Silvermask felt the breath on her neck.
"The loners...are ploting against us..." she whispered. "Take...Shadow as a hostage..."

Celeheit raised an eyebrow. She sighed and turned to Angelstar. "Should we bother with Moonriver and take Shadow hostage?" she asked, "And what are we meant to do with her?" as she kicked Silvermask's body.
"Kill her." whispered a voice behind her. She whipped around and saw Viral crouching in the shadows.

Hearing Viral's voice, Silvermask pushed herself to get to her paws. She started to stumble towards him.
"I'm not dead yet" She hissed, unfolding her wings meanicingly.

"No." Angelstar shook her head. "Let them go. I don't want to lose any more life today. This is my fault."

Silvermask gave a thankful glance at Angelstar.
Shadow had pinned her to the ground, and sat on her...
Silvermask gasped.

"You're damn right, it's all your fault," Viral snarled. "What's happening to you all? You've become cowards," he spat furiously. "Haven't you heard the word 'enemy'?"

"Yes." Celeheit replied dully. Viral growled and shoved her aside.
Celeheit felt the wounds reopen and blood started to pour out. Viral had thrown her so hard, so so hard. "What are you doing Viral?" she stammered.

Viral ignored Celeheit. "I'll deal with you after she's finished." he hissed at Angelstar and lashed out at Silvermask's eyes.

((shadow gone?))

((Nope))

Silvermask hissed, leaping fowards. She noticed Shadow move.
'Dammit' she thought, dragging her claws down Viral's back.

Shadow lent against the rock. His head pounding. Silvermask was still fighting. Ha! The idiot deserved to die. But, Shadow needed Viral dead. He's have to kill Silvermask later. Springing forwards with all his strength, Shadow crashed straight into Viral, knocking him over.

Viral howled and brought his paws up to push Shadow off. "You dare defy me?" he screamed and slashed Shadow's face with his claws while thinking up a deadly virus.

Celeheit struggled to stand up. She looked up and saw Viral and Shadow fighting. She had to defend her leader, that was the most obvious thing. But she was injured and in no state to start a fight. "Time for things to get a little heated," she murmured.

Silvermask was shocked at Shadow. She pulled Viral's legs from under him.

Shadow cursed.

Viral rolled back up and kicked savagely at Silvermask. "If you insist on becoming a nuisance, then you'll have to die!" he growled and gouged her face repeatedly. "You'll die a slow and horrible death." He opened his mouth a bit wider and a breeze slowly blew towards Silvermask. Viral chuckled.

Celeheit concentrated. "Angelstar," she muttered. "Put up your starshield." Then the temperature slowly went up and up. And it wasn't stopping.
