Ripred snarled back. "You call me a coward after you surrender!? I don't think so. He shook the branch and fwaped Cursestrike on the shoulder with his claws, a weak spot for balance. He knew that she couldn't avoid falling.
((Foxfur it is. *snibble*))

ooc Foxfur: *bites Flicker's head off* Lol.
bic: Cursestrike fell to the ground, but landed on all four paws. " I did not surrender." She snarled. " I chose to fight for my Clan." Cursestrike darted back up the tree, and climbed until she stood right next to Ripred. " It is over. Why can't you see?!" She demanded, before growling and biting into Ripred's shoulder.

Ripred howled at the searing pain and his eyes began to water. "This isn't surrendering!?! 'Oh, I'm helpless, take my life!' That if about as bad as it gets! Cursestrike, this isn't how it was supposed to end!" He didn't attack. Instead he just looked at Cursestrike, his chest heaving with the effort to ignore the pain and stay on the branch. Ripred made no attempt to escape.

Cursestrike shook her head sadly. " You don't understand, do you? After all this, you still don't get it." She took a step closer. " This is how it is going to end though, Ripred. All of us. I have asked to be killed, because I will be killed regardless, by the end of this battle." Her gaze was like steel, emotionless. " You will die."
Foxfur ran after the others, chasing Ripred. Flickerstep was stronger than him, and her anger would make it easy for her to hold down Fierceblood. " Ripred!" He yowled, challenging the cat. " Come down and fight."

In the dark branches of the tall trees a swift silloutete lept it's way to the tall tree of the branch holding the tom, Ripred. The slim, pretty black cat landed silently beside him. Her blood-red eyes looked worried and her heart pounded fast as she panted quietly. She had sensed the battle up ahead and fearfully wondered why Ripred wasn't with the rest of the clan. "R-Ripred..W-what's g-going on?" Bloodfeather asked timidly. She looked at her paws, to nervous, as usual, to make eye-contact. As Cursestrike climbed up with burning eyes Bloodfeather gasped softly and stepped back. Looking between Ripred and Cursestrike she whimpered softly, needing to know what was happening.

Ripred looked down at the challenging cat. Then back at Cursestrike. "If I die, it will be against my will and several cats will come along for the ride." He shoved past her and lept off the branch, shaking it violently. He landed with a hard crash on Foxfur's spine and then bit into the back of his neck with terrible force. The assassin lifted his head and said with blood covering his fangs, "I came down." Looking back at the tree, he again climbed it and came to sit next to Bloodfeather. Calmly he stated, "Cursestrike has turned on us, Bloodfeather."

Shiningstream silenced the rest of what Ripred was bound to say, hissing and clawing her way into his shoulder. "She did not betray you!" the deputy hissed, "She came back to her Clan!" The tortoiseshell took another look at silverpelt, hoping to see Willowclaw cheering them on. I promise this...one of my kits will be named after you... Launching herself again at Ripred, her eyes ablaze, she couldn't help but share a moment gazing at Cursestrike, sighing. "CreekClan will loose a true warrior."

Depthgaze streaked through the sky, flying faster than any other cat there, his peregrin falcon wings built for speed. He hovered silently, far above Ripred, and went into a dive, going at half the speed the falcon would at its fastest- one hundred miles per hour. Even if Ripred spotted him now, it would be too late for the NightClan cat to move aside.

Eyes shining happily, Shiningstream made her way to the lower part of Ripred's body, glad to give Depthgaze a bit of room to manuver. "Fantastic!" she yowled to him as he soared lower and lower. Shiningstream turned to Ripred, her eyes gleaming. "How long must we fight to make you understand? How long must you know that after today, not a breath will come from your mouth ever again."

Deadpaw backed up away from the mass of cats. He had a plan, but it was risky. "I should probably tell Snakestar, but there is no time," he said to himself. Quickly he moved till he was by the river. The next Nightclanner to pass him would be dead quickly.

Ripred saw Depthgaze coming at him and braced himself for a hit. As he turned his head, he saw Shiningstream preparing to hit as well. Crud. He thought painfully.

A look of shock came upon Bloodfeather's face when Ripred told her. Cursestrike....was a traitor? Her blood-red eyes looked at Cursestrike and her ears heard Shiningstreams' words. Came back to her clan.... Bloodfeather couldn't bring herself to be angry...Cursestrike..she was loyal to CreekClan... Her small, slim body shook as she watched with horror, the battle continued. As the two cats sprang at Ripred she lept with suddenly defiant eyes at Shiningstream. She was scared but she would try to be tough.

Depthgaze extended his claws to their limit, they would be the first thing to hit Ripred.
He struck the cat's neck, sinking his claws deeply. His long fangs were next to hit. Something cracked between his teeth. The spine- or simply a tendon? No time to wonder about that.
((Sorry if that's powerplaying, I'll edit the post if you like))

((That's fine.))
Ripred felt a shock of fierce pain shoot down his body, as Depthgaze sunk his teeth into his neck. Ripred shoot the cat off and realized that his neck was burning with a stinging pain. A tendon was ripped.

Yowling a congratulations to Depthgaze, she flicked her ears symbolizing that she would take over. First, she had to dodge the skittish Bloodfeather, hissing defiance and then riveting her attention to the assasin. "I've been waiting to do this for a long time..." The deputy took a lithe leap, water spraying from her dolphin-smooth pelt as she landed with a THUD on Ripred while he was in pain. "No more of this!" Yowling and teeth bared, she encased her jaws around is next, hoping that finally, she could end one of his lives..
((Sorry if that's powerplaying. I'll change something if you need me too))
