Jax-
Backing away from the beast Jax found himself standing in a puddle of mud. *ding* I light bulb went off in his head he bent down and rolled in the mud covering his body and making him the color of the caves walls…” Pilate said to battle the beast not defeat it….he thought” Jax smiled to himself and started to walk in the shadows of the walls pressing his belly to the cold wall. In the shadows Jax blended in perfectly with the walls. Jax found himself inching past the beast his cat sent masked by the mud. “Come on Jax only 7 more steps and your past this thing he thought ” continuing his slow pace he found himself right behind the monster his body still pressed to the cold wall. Looking back he saw the cats still fighting the monster…he shook his head and continued inching forward wanting to get as far away from the beast as possible….
He slowly inched forward until Jax found himself 7 paces away from the beast and face to face with a rope bridge….
“I dont wanna cross that thing he thought” Jax then pressed himself back onto the wall and waited for something…..
THERE WAS ANOTHER MALLOWPAW WHAT IN THE STARCLAN
Elos slipped from the monster’s back, unable to hold on with three legs. He pulled himself to his paws, grabbing a small stone as he went, and stumbled under the creature, stopping next to Snowfox. “Here!” He yowled around the rock, “take this!”
Snowfox didn’t speak, focusing all her power on holding the scales open. She wrapped her tooth around the rock and put it into a position in which was more comfortable. Then she growled and pushed her snout inside the space. The skin smelled foul and greasy, but she forced herself to not gag and drop the stone. Snowfox lodged it in to where the joint was trying t move so that it was stopped, and that leg was completely useless unless someone was so stupid to approach the claw. Hoping it worked, Snowfox propelled off to land on the with a light thud and to roll on the hard floor. But she resisted the pain in one of her legs and limped to the next monster arm. “If we disable all on one side, we could attack from there without it being able to do much,” she yowled to everyone who could hear.
Elos looked around at the disorganized bunch of cats around them. “They’re all a bunch of cowards!” He hissed to Snowfox. “They’d sooner watch us die than risk a hair on their miserable pelts!” He flexed his claws, ignoring the pain in his leg. “Face it. You’re the only cat doing any real damage, and no matter how skilled you are, I doubt you could kill that thing on your own.” He shook out his fur, flinging droplets of blood onto the ground. “We should wait until they’ve sorted themselves out. That way, we aren’t the only ones risking our lives.”
(Basically, nothing is going to happen until Maple says it can, so we should wait until they come back to fight it 😉
Snowfox grinned evilly at him. “I like your idea.” She glared at the group. “Maybe some will die, hopefully, while at least getting something useful done for once.”
Elos nodded his agreement, then carefully laid down, gently folding his injured leg into place. “How did you get those spikes, anyway?” He asked tentatively. “I’ve seen them before, but I never found out where they came from.”
Snowfox shrugged. “I wanted them, and I ordered them. A few cats had mined minerals to make them and brought them to some other cat who carved them to be spikes, and then that cat brought them to me and two others, who used another type of rock or something to get the spikes to stay attached. Same thing with all my fur decorations and additions.” Snowfox shrugged, watching carefully in case the monster came for them again.
(I’m sorry but I really wanted to say “‘I ordered them from Amazon.'” 😛 )
(That would’ve been funny 😆)
Elos tilted his head. “That sounds complicated.” He remembered when the bits of metal and gems had made her nearly untouchable in combat. “Worth it, though. With your abilities, I’m not surprised you chose to come here.” He lifted himself to his paws in case of danger. “Hope you don’t mind me asking, but what exactly do you plan to accomplish down here?”
“I’m pretty sure you already know the answer. Get the powers, get out, take over or something, maybe kill a few cats along the way.” Snowfox turned to look at Elos. He was starting to grow on her.
Elos meet her gaze carefully, sure he was going to regret his next words. He took a deep breath. No matter how risky his question might be, he had to know. “If… if you want to kill other cats… then…” Elos dropped his gaze nervously, unwilling to look into her eyes. “Why…? Why am I alive?”
Snowfox didn’t respond for a moment. “You – you don’t seem like much of a threat. Who knows, maybe after we get powers we could be the only two in power. You seem like a cat that, if I needed to partner with, I would choose you.”
Elos looked up in disbelief. “Does that mean… you trust me?” He searched her eyes, trying to see if she was lying.
Snowfox looked up to search the roof of the cave. “It doesn’t mean I fully trust you, but definitely way more than others.” She glanced down again to glare into Elos’ eyes.
Elos held her gaze, looking for any sign of deceit. He had been tricked before, and this cat had tried to kill him.
Twice.
But if Snowfox was lying, she was doing an outstanding job hiding it. Eventually, he gave a slight nod. “Then I will trust you, and assist you however I can.”
Snowfox stared at him for a moment longer, then sighed with boredom. Just as she looked down, a sudden movement made her glance right back up. There was a giant claw heading straight for them. There wasn’t enough time to move out of the way. Snowfox shoved Elos aside and tried to move enough so it wouldn’t damage her as much. But then the claw struck her side and sent Snowfox flinging across the room.
“Snowfox!” Elos came to his senses, ducking under the creature’s claws as it attacked again. Quickly, he pulled away and raced to Snowfox’s side. “Are you okay?” He meowed urgently, “It looked like that thing hit you pretty hard.” Elos hesitated, realizing the risk she had taken for him. “You saved my life back there… Thanks.” He meowed sincerely.
Snowfox let out a short moan of pain, then forced herself into a sitting position. “I – think – I’m ok – nothing – broken,” she rasped, coughing interrupting her sentence. “I’ll be – fine – soon.” Snowfox growled and cursed under her breath while flopping back down onto the ground. “I’ve been tr – training to h – handle pain.”
Elos winced. Snowfox sounded like she was in really bad shape, and he didn’t know anything about healing. “Ahhh…” He looked around, making sure the monster hadn’t followed them, and crouched down next to the injured she-cat. “…We’ll be safe here for now.” He reassured her, “Try to get some rest.” He laid his tail on her side comfortingly. “Please… don’t die on me…”
Snowfox shifted away uncomfortably. “I’m fine,” she snapped, forcing back a cough. “I just need a moment.”
Elos made no attempt to move closer. “Alright then.” he replied, his tone colder than he intended. “Let me know if you start suffocating.” He started cleaning his injured leg, bitter that she had pushed him away when he had only been trying to help.
Snowfox noticed the tone. Does he expect me to immediately like him? He was still her slave, if he remembered that. Snowfox flicked her tail. Well, so what if he didn’t like her. Like she cared. She let out a low growl, too quiet for him to hear. Then she pulled herself up again and started to test each of her legs out. Nothing bad on her legs. Snowfox grunted and started to walk around. Blood dripped from her flank and her head still hurt, but she didn’t care. “See? I’m ok now.”
Elos glanced at Snowfox, noticing blood dripping from her flank. “Yeah, sure, and red is a completely normal fur color.” he meowed sarcastically. He narrowed his eyes and stood to face her. “Something’s wrong with you, can’t you see that?” Elos hissed, “You’re terribly injured but you refuse to admit it, all because you think you’re tough.” He lashed his tail angrily, a growl rising in his throat. Elos realized that he was making a mistake, but it was too late. There was no turning back now.
Snowfox bared her teeth, snarling. She stood up taller. “What did you just say to me?” Her spikes rose higher. “I’m fine. Well, fine enough to kill you right here if I wanted.”
Elos hesitated. He knew Snowfox meant what she said, and a fight was the last thing either of them needed. “Fine.” He ducked his head submissively, “Kill me if you really want to. See if that makes you feel any better.” He growled. I’m the only one who needs to gets hurt.
“Good,” Snowfox snapped. She began more exercises for her leg, now pacing to and fro, getting quicker with each step.
Elos shrugged. “I was only trying to help.” He meowed dryly, “I was under the impression that that’s what slaves do.” He sat down, relaxing his injured leg. “Or did you forget that you made me one?”
“No, slaves do what they’re told to do, not just do something they think they think they should. If I needed you to do that, I would have told you.”
Elos studied his paws. “Is there some sort of punishment if I do something without permission?” He meowed warily. “You wouldn’t kill me, would you?”
Snowfox shrugged. “Eh. Perhaps, but probably not. I don’t want to waste too much energy on killing some random cat like you.”
“So I’m just a waste of time?” Elos meowed quietly. “Is that all I am to you?” he expected to feel angry and vengeful, but to his surprise, he was just sad. He shook out his fur to hide it, and he kept his head down. He didn’t want her to call him weak as well.
She didn’t reply, just watched carefully. Snowfox opened her mouth, but closed it again. Finally, she meowed, “isn’t that what I am to you? You don’t get anything fro =m and I make you do things.”
Elos glanced around the cavern, avoiding her gaze. “I’m… I’m not sure.” He meowed carefully. “There’s so many reasons for me to hate you… but…” He stared at his paws again, and whispered, “But I- I don’t…”
Snowfox studied the cave wall, awkward. “Well, uh.” She sat down and started to clean off an dried blood on her spikes.
Elos felt his ears grow hot with embarrassment, and he cast a swift glance toward Snowfox, hoping she wouldn’t notice. Satisfied, he bent down to finish cleaning his leg.
Snowfox sat there in silence. Her head turned to watch the others. “It doesn’t look like they’ll do anything useful.”
“Not surprised.” He meowed between licks, “None of them really caught my eye when I was looking for skill.” He lifted his head, finished with his leg. “None, except you.”
Snowfox shrugged. “Oh well. They’ll eventually get some brains to figure out something useful.”
Elos nodded. “Until they do, we should stay here. I’m not going anywhere with this,” he extended his injured leg, “and you look like you could use some rest anyway.”
~Ravenwing and Wolf’s Shadow~
Ven and Shay watched the others fight the beast. Ven noticed a tom sneaking around, but he stopped at the rope bridge. “Hey,” they whispered, nudging Shay with a paw. “Check it out.” Shay glanced over at the tom, who was covered in mud.
“Worth a shot,” Shay replied, though she shuddered at the thought of being so dirty. The two cats crept over to the mud puddles and rolled around until their pelts were dark brown. Then they crept along the wall until they’d joined the other cat by the rope bridge.
“Hello there,” Ven whispered. “I’m Ravenwing, and this is Wolf’s Shadow– Ven and Shay for short. What’s your name?”
” turning Jax looked the two cats up and down….Oh great cats now-days have no idea what creative is he thought as he looked at the cats muddy pelts ” ….Im Jax “he said slowly….Im not letting some copy cats take my glory he thought Jax then jumps onto the bridge and shouts” HEY MONSTER OVER HERE!!! “he then turned and ran off onto the bridge after running 14 places he then slides out his long claw and slides the bridges rope ” SNAP! ” Jax felt himself falling scared he dug his long claws into the rotting wood of the rope bridge and hung onto the rob bridge with his life…suddenly what felt like a life time the rope bridge stopped falling ” …..wow….It worked ” Jax studied the mess he had made ” He looked at the collapsed rope bridge that was now unusable he looked up at the monster that was now turning to face Ven and Shay” Shaking his head Jax started to climb up the bridge as if it was a latter….after climbing for what seamed like hours Jax found himself scrambling away from the ledge and farther and farther away from the other fighting cats “smiling to himself he waited for the next phase”
(I dont know if destroying the bridge so i can only get across is against the rules….oh well Maple tell me if im right or wrong)
For a moment, all Ven and Shay did was stare at the broken bridge. “Wow. What a–” Shay’s expletive was cut off by a roar from the monster that caused both of them to jump.
“Any idea how we get across now?” Ven asked.
“Run and jump?” Shay suggested sarcastically. “Maybe if we can get the creature to fall and catch the other side, we can use it as a bridge.” She glanced back at the hole where the rope bridge was. “Or maybe…”
Ven stared in horror as Shay began creeping backwards, eyes on the gap. “You aren’t seriously going to jump, are you?”
Shay turned and gave him a somewhat crazed grin. “Hey, if the Tests were easy, everyone would do it.” Then she took a running leap into the air where the rope bridge used to be. She fell through the air towards the other side, and Ven rushed to the edge to watch. At the last possible second, Shay lashed out, her claws catching on the dangling edge of half of the rope bridge. She hung there for a second, then after scrabbling for a foothold, began to climb the dangling planks. After a few tense minutes, she reached the top. She turned around and grinned at Ven. When she saw what was happening behind them, her expression turned to one of surprise.
Ven glanced behind them and saw that one of the monster’s limbs wasn’t functional. A cat had lodged a rock between the scales, rendering the limb useless. The remaining cats were attacking the beast with vigor. Ven, however, had no wish to get caught up in it. While the beast was distracted, they crept back a few paces, then ran and jumped. There was a moment of weightlessness, then they began to fall. For a second it looked as if they would miss the edge of the bridge, but their long legs stretched out and their claws caught. The fall came to a jarring stop, and Ven hissed in pain as their claws stretched. They found a foothold and scrambled up the planks as fast as they could manage. They slipped a bit close to the top, but Shay grabbed their scruff and dragged them over the edge before they could fall again.
“Well, that was fun,” Shay said, still a little breathless. Ven gaped at her. Was she really enjoying this? They supposed it didn’t matter– after all, they never would’ve thought to jump on their own. Shay was proving a useful ally.
Jax faced the two tunnels in front of him he then remembered a trick an old friends told him ¨Unknown cat speaking: There is a simple method for finding your way out of a maze or labyrinth Jax: Touch the wall or hedge with the tail nearest to it, left or right. Keep that same tail touching the wall and keep walking. This may take you on a horribly long route, but it will eventually get you out.¨ he shook his head and placed his tail on the right side of the cave and started walking……
Walking, walking, walking that’s all I’m doing now!?! Jax murmured as he kept walking his tail still pressing to the right side of the wall. So far all the mud has been washed out of his coat…he was wet, he was tired, and he was bored. As he walked he could feel the tunnel get warmer, stickier and they path seemed to slope down at a 90 degree angel….. I must be getting SOMEWHERE he cried out and that’s when he heard it a roar of a waterfall and a gleam of light ahead of him… He quickened his pace heading for the light
(OK, I don’t know if it’s up to me to say I found the key so if I’m wrong please ignore the rest of this comment).
…Jax and found himself in a room full of crocodiles and in the middle of the mess was a golden podium and a gold key floating right above it…. Trying not to cry in joy, in fear of waking the sleeping crocodiles, Jax leaped silently over the crocodiles towards the golden key…but when he was just five paces away, he heard a low growl…turning Jax found a giant crocodile looming over him. Snap the sound of his teeth chomping down at the spot Jax has just been was enough of a warning to wake the rest of the crocodiles. Jax now running in between the crocodiles was faced with claws and jaw like no other. Knowing there hides were far to strong for any cat to slice threw them Jax avoided any claw to claw combat…. Just one leap Jax and you have that key he thought looking up at the gold key. Jumping he landed on one of the crocodiles head and then leaped onto the podium grabbing the key but before he could call out Pilates name a horrid pain came from his tail….or should I say were his tail should be…one crocodile head bitten off his tail completely only a stump remains of his dark pelt…trying not to cry out in pain Jax took the key is his jaws and raced out of the room using the same technique he used to get to the key he started sprinting and he heard the crocodiles racing after him…bursting out of the cave systems he faced the cazam, he raced past Shay wait Shay ?! How did they get over here!!?? He thought He then watched as Ven jumped over the cazam …ohhh he thought he then quickened his sprint and jumped…oh no I’m not gonna make it he thought as he watched him miss the jump by one pace……… No!! I’m not giving up! he thought and he then landed on the wall and dug his claws into the dirt-rock combination and started to climb up to where the edge of the broken rope bridge was and then dug his claws into the wood of the bridge …Breathing heavily he pulled himself up to the ledge of where the fighting cats were…dropping the key he placed on paw on it and called out Pilates name…and waited for Pilate……
Cahira and Bloom-
Cahira jumped back from the beast, her claws unsheathed. She noticed a small she-cat in the corner and stomped over to her.
“Get up!” She snarled, yanking Bloom up by her scruff. Bloom slashed at Cahira out of fear and hissed.
“You’re supposed to be fighting that!” Cahira spat, turning towards the creature. “Or don’t, and be a coward!” Cahira left bloom, racing towards the creature.
Reluctantly, Bloom followed.
(to Amaryllis)
Jungle stopped at the call. He spun around and sidled up next to the cat. He didn’t know who else she was calling to, but he decided to join. “Yeah?*
Moss didn’t hear the cat. She growled, backing even farther away from the thing. Others could do it mostly without her. She’d only help if she was needed.
