Snakestar held Fierceblood under the water, he needed help. "Flickerstep! Foxfur! Hold her under the water!"
Depthgaze took to the air again, the falcon wings holding his body aloft easily. He spotted Cursestrike, and, hovering, heard all that she said. He landed and nodded to her. "I will."

Cursestrike trembled slightly, but nodded. " Thank you. Aim for the neck." Was all she said to Depthgaze, before turning back to Ripred.
Foxfur and Flickerstep obeyed, placing themselves on either side of Fierceblood. " This cat won't get away alive." Flickerstep promised grimly.

Ripred struggled from under the cat's paws to reach the surface of the water after being knocked in by Shiningstream. After a while he finally managed to get above the water for air. He gasped and coughed, but even after the struggle he put up, he ran onto dry land with great energy. So, they can breathe under water huh? he noted to himself. He turned back and looked at Cursestrike with curiousity. Ripred signalled that he just wanted to talk, by letting his fur lay flat. He padded close enough so that he could hear them, but not so close that they would be able to attack him successfully. "What are you doing Cursestrike? I always knew you were a mousebrained fool, but not so much that you'd hand your life over to them with open arms."

Moonstorm made her way over to Seabiscut through the fury of cats. "Need any help," she said not taking her eyes off he battle. This was the warrior side of her and it was well trained.
---
Deadpaw made his way to Snakestar fight more furious than he thought he ever could. "Is there anything I can do?"

Shiningstream hissed, lashing her tail out towards Ripred until he was a tail-length away. Now she wanted to talk to Cursestrike. Her eyes full of sympathy, Shiningstream brushed her tail over the she-cat's face. "I would never kill a cat except Ripred..." But hearing Depthgaze obliging, another thought struck her. Nudging his shoulder, she mewed, "Cursestrike, how many lives do you have left? Unless you want to die in peace and without pain, maybe it would be better for both me and Depthgaze to do it together..." Shiningstream couldn't believe what she was saying. "Do you really want to die?"

Depthgaze watched from above, long wings fluttering quickly. He was sad... sad that the cat had to die, sad that when the last NightClanner was dead his wings would vanish.

Ebonystar honestly couldn't tell whether or not she had landed a blow on the NightClan cat, before she was forced to pull out of her dive to avoid crashing into either the ground or another cat. Flapping her majestic wings, she soared just out of reach, eyes flickering this way and that.
She didn't know what she was looking for, really; maybe a cat to attack, maybe an ally who needed her help. Either way, she spotted Depthgaze before any others, up in the air alongside her. She thought she had seen him dive past her on the way to attack Ripred, and now she realized that she had been correct.
Noting that the other looked upset, Ebonystar considered winging her way over to join him - but maybe that was irrational. They were in the middle of a battle, after all, so she hardly had time to comfort one of her own warriors. But still, the look on his face tugged at her heartstrings, and she found herself drifting over on a current of air despite her earlier thoughts.
"Depthgaze?" she inquired, just loudly enough to be heard over the tumult of the fighting. Her eyes swept about the clearing, as if to make sure that this conversation was not about to cost some innocent cat their life, before turning back to him. "Are you alright?" Perhaps he was injured, and she just hadn't noticed yet; the thought was enough to remind her that yes, they were indeed fighting for their lives here.

"Yes... I'm fine..." Gazing down at the two NightClanners below, Ripred and Cursestrike, he shook his head as if to clear disturbing thoughts from his mind. They persisted, and Depthgaze finally turned to his leader, watching her glossy black wings beat the air.
"Do you know what that cat-" he flicked his tail towards Cursestrike- "Is going to do? She will fight one of her Clanmates, the assassian Ripred. She will fight that evil NightClanner. And afterwards- do you know what she'll do afterwards? She'll let us kill her if Ripred doesn't. She was from NightClan, but now... her acts are not those of any NightClan cat."

Ripred looked above and saw two winged cats muttering something about him as they stayed aloft. This whole plan was going terribly. The NightClan assassins were going soft and the other cats were mutant. He knew this battle was lost. Ripred almost felt the urge for a surrender, but he quickly convinced himself that the water had gotten into his head and started to mess with his killer instinct. But what could he do to win this? Maybe he could wait this whole thing out and then-. Then what? What was the use of attempting to destroy the clans if every time that he tried to overthrow them, there was a weak link in the chain of success. Ripred drooped his head, he had decided his own fate and condemned himself to it. He turned to run and made it passed the warriors far enough for him to look back. He hated every second of doing this but there was no other way. Ripred escaped into the forest.

Cursestrike looked at Shiningstream. " Four lives. I want to die. This is no life, killing cats to live. Tell Flickerstep and Foxfur their mother loved them...as did their aunt, Hopeheart." With a grim look in her eyes, she whirled round and gave chase. " Ripred, get back here!" She screeched claws digging into the earth as she made herself run faster, reaching Ripred, and skidding to a stop in front of him. " Go. Back." Cursestrike snarled, teeth bared. She looked at him. " I was once a CreekClan cat, who made a terrible mistake. I will fight for my Clan one last time. And you will die, Ripred!" With a growl, the cat launched herself onto Ripreds back, clawing down his flanks.

As well, Shiningstream gave chase, hissing and even running faster as her fins gave her a mre aerodynamic shape. Burning with hate, the deputy launched herself besides Cursestrike-Hopeheart, and began her furious leagues of clawing. Since Sharkfang wasn't here, she wanted to be the one that ended Ripred's last life. Killling Willowclaw, upseting herself and Sharkfang, there was no reasoning. "And I will fight beside my Clanmate," she mewed honorably to Hopeheart. "And kill this one assassin!"

Spottedstorm followed Shinningstream after Ripred. She knew that there was hardly any NightClanners and that the other cats were busy attacking the others. "Come on Ripred!" she yowled mockingly "Are you too much of a coward that you don't want to fight us pathetic clan cats" Ripred had called them pathetic earlier, now look who was outnumbered.

Cursestrike stopped attacking Ripred for a moment. " Thank you." She murmured to Shiningstream. " For using my Clan name." She explained, before leaping back onto Ripred's back, claws digging in.

By now he was neatly concealed within the thick branches of a tall tree. Ripred sat halfway up to the top, where he could see the other cats but they couldn't see him. Cursestrike attempted to stop him, but on his way up he put a powerful blow to the side of her head and climbed the tree out of sight before the others came. Now what? he thought furiously. He weighed the odds and figured that if he took down a cat before a life of his was taken, then he might hang on. The other NightClan cats were in no position to help him but that didn't matter. This is no different than the last attack. I survived that one and this one will be the same.((Who can he kill? I've already planned for him to kill Wolfbane, but he need at least another one... That sounded wierd.)) Ripred: 6 lives ~ 4 to start ~ 1 from Azuregaze ~ 1 from Willowclaw

ooc: I know who he can kill...Foxfur....*sob and pats Foxfur* Foxfur: *glare*
bic: Cursestrike rolled backwards, vision spinning as she was hit. Snarling, she recovered within moments, and saw Ripred escape up the tree. " Coward!" She yowled, climbing swiftly up the tree, and facing him, eyes burning.
