Shadowclan Training Refresh

[Mango]

Dawnstar specified this is for warrior’s ONLY


Stemhop stood in the clearing, near the entrance of camp, giving her fur a few licks. She knew she was seen as less than because she was missing a paw, but she didn’t care. Dawnstar had put her in charge of running a battle training review for warriors, so there skills would still be sharp for the battle with Windclan. She’d assign everyone in pairs to fight, and would try to one on one pull someone aside to teach them how to fight on three paws, in case something were to happen and a paw got to injured to use in battle anymore, they wouldn’t need to stop the fight, they’d be just fine fighting on three paws.

Enough of the thinking it was time to get everyone’s attention,” Warriors! Dawnstar has tasked me with running some battle training with you all. Gather here, so I can pair you up. I’m going to do this a little different than you might expect. While you will be sparring, I will be pulling cats aside one at at time to teach them how to fight on three paws, so that if something happens to one of your paws in the battle, you can keep fighting. If anyone of you warriors is blind and would like to teach warriors how to fight without vision, please come forward and I can have you teach that skill to your clanmates.” she meowed. She wasn’t sure if it sounded offensive asking to see if a blind clanmate could assist, but if a Bunny stabbed them in the eye, she wanted her clanmates to be able to keep fighting despite being unable to see. That seemed to her to be a valuable skill. She paused for a minute, to give her clanmates a chance to gather

Batsong sighed and got up from where he was sitting on a log, watching a rat in a log he could've caught. Making his way to the clearing, he sat down and groomed his paws a bit and then looked up. He didn't feel he needed training, but he would do it since it was Dawnstar's orders.

[Nixey]

~Sheepglow~
Hearing Stemhop calling for cats to gather around, Sheepglow slipped up and padded over to her.
~Splotchleaf~
He brought his head up from where it had been laying before raising to his paws and coming over to join the cats.
~Flametail~
He popped up happily as he seemed to almost bounce thiwards Stemhop.

[Egasl]

==> Clovernose <==

Clovernose padded warily forward towards Stemhop. He wasn’t very good at fighting. He was the skinniest warrior ever and he’s always been picked on for it. He was scared to see who his partner would be.

[Singing Jay]

Shadestripe didn't have any injuries but some battle training could hurt.
It should be you leading the event
He hissed a little as the voice echoed in his mind.
Can't you just leave me alone
Just trying to help...
Help? HELP?! How is you ether criticizing me or telling me stuff I already know HELPING me?!
The voice was silent. Finally... he mumbled before walking over to Stemhop.

Troutclaw got up from where he was sitting and went over battle training fun he thought to himself

Darktiger looks at them and gets up nodding

Sharpsight looked up from where she was sittin and padded over, her curiousity and slight interest spurring her on.

[Little Timmy]

Mistheart gathered all the confidence and strength she honestly had left with a sigh. She pulled herself up and walked to where the announcement was. She listened closely and knew she had to do this.

[~Fierce~]

~Smokemoon~
Smokemoon padded over to Stemhop, waiting for her to assign him a partner.

~Dapplecloud~
Dapplecloud padded over, glad that she could return to her warrior position early.

(If you and Zesty Mango would be up for it, would you want Clover to fight Fiercefire? He's a very strong, smart, fierce warrior, whom I think would make Clovers worse nightmares come true lol)

[Rani]

Hmmm a training event, how curious the clan hadnt ran one like this in awhile. It was doubt going to be softer and far less skilled than Redshrikes usual training methods and habits but it was still just what he loved, a fight. He almost pitied whichever poor fool was paired against him, the warrior was going to shred them no matter who they were. It'd be an amusing waste of time at least. What was more amusing was that Stemhop the three legged wonder was leading this little shindig. It brought Redshrike back to the days when that blind sad warrior (Batblind? Doe-somthing? He didnt care to remember) would lead similar events. The weak trying to teach others to be strong, what a joke.

Still Redshrike gathered snickering lightly as he lurked in the shadows waiting to begin.

[MooingPanda]

Embershadow huffed when he heard Stemhop. He was a great fighter. And, with the amount of invading and battling they were doing right now, he was pretty sure the Clan was in great shape. "As if we don't do enough practicing against other Clans," he muttered, joining the group anyways.

[Jade13]

Frogfang walked up and sat down waiting for more instruction. He was always happy to train. He was vary happy to spar, he had anger to get out.

[Levi 99]

Shadefrost reluctantly padded over to stemhops position hoping it wouldn't take too much of his time.

[tomatosoup]

Eldershade lagged behind the rest of the warriors, glancing behind at Nightfoot. Her brother was quiet, discomforted, but after a minute he followed, catching up with his sister and lining up to be paired off.

[Nostalgia]

~Adderflower~

Adderflower came forth, her mind alert as she scanned her clanmates. Another training huh? The last one had let her sharpen her claws a bit but even Adderflower knew she had to hold back this time, Dawnstar was less than pleased at her drawing blood from a clan mate.

Oh well, she would go easy this time. She sat down with the group and glared silently at Stemhop. He better have a worthy opponent for her, Milktooth was less than proficient last time.

~Sootshadow~

Sootshadow groaned.

Ugh he didn’t wana do another training event! This was simply too much, couldn’t a cat just relax and hunt around this clan? Everyone was always fighting, scheming, trying to ine up each other.

Sootshadow wasn’t like that, rather, the lazy tom enjoyed spending time flirting with apprentices and sleeping.

But here he was doing another training.

The tom dragged his feet as he joined the rest of the warriors.

Perhaps this could go by fast if he just let everyone beat him.

[Singing Jay]

(You can just ignore me if you don't want to interact ^^)

Shadestripe frowned as he heard the to other toms comment.
Some extra training doesn't hurt, besides this training is a little
different the usual
Perhaps you should claw his ears of to show him...
the voice mewed in his head.
I'm not gonna attack my clanmate!
Just a suggestion...
He scoffed, could she ever shut up and let him just live his life?!

[gs29513]

Huh, interesting. They hadn't had a training event in a while, but Shrewstep was always going to be up for a good spar. While he didn't think of himself as particularly bloodthirsty, there was something immensely satisfying about ducking under someone and smacking them upside the head. Like a slithery little snake, or, in fact, a vicious little shrew. Noticing a few key cats were also present(Frogfang and Redshrike) he made his way into the middle of the group. Well, if told to partner off he knew where he would be headed, right towards Frogfang. He couldn't do anything too bad with all the eyes, but he could still whack him around a few times.

[Jay.]

Cedarsong lifted themselves
up and padded towards where the cats
were meeting. They hadn't heard much,
but they assumed it would be battle
training or something similiar.

[MooingPanda]

Embershadow turned to the cat who had spoken. "Yeah, usually we're using our claws," he shot back. He supposed that some extra training couldn't hurt, but he wasn't going to say that out loud.

Well don't use your claws now Shadestripe grunted.
You sure claws wouldn't... help?
He continued, ignoring the voice: Besides, isn't a battle more
enjoyable if you can beat an enemy without a scratch then
just to beat them?

[MooingPanda]

Embershadow frowned, casting a slightly confused glance at Shadestripe. "I suppose," he grunted. If you didn't get a scratch, you were probably fighting a poorly-trained apprentice. "Sometimes, a challenge is better."

[Mango]

REMEMBER TO CHECK FOR MULTIPLE MENTIONS IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE CHARACTERS PARTICIPATING

Stemhop watched as many cats gathered. She heard a complaint and excitement and settled on addressing it,” Yes we train a lot Embershadow, but that is why we are the strongest clan, and we want to keep being the strongest clan in the forest. Now that we’re done complaining, I can explain what we are doing. I know we typically do drills using our claws, but this time we won’t be using claws, and not because I’m afraid of a few injuries, but because we soon will be fighting Bunnyclan again, and I don’t want anyone unable to fight due to training injuries. I assume all of you already know the rules of sparring a clanmate, but as a reminder, no fatal blows and no targeting the eyes, we don’t need a clanmate getting blinded accidentally. Now, if I catch any of you using claws in this training, I’ll give you a scar you won’t forget and be informing Dawnstar of your inability to follow the rules. ” she meowed giving the warriors a firm glanced at her clanmates.


After a second she began to pair everyone off,” Alright, I’m going to pair everyone off.
Troutclaw ( shaded shadow ) & Shadefrost ( Rimuru Black ) you’ll be sparring together
Splotchleaf ( Nixey ) & Darktiger ( Silverfur & Co ) you’ll be sparring together
Sharpsight ( SharpSight ) & Flametail ( Nixey ) you two are sparring
Sheepglow ( Nixey ) & Sootshadow ( @Nostaglia ) you guys are sparring
Eldershade ( tomatosoup) & Shadedstripe ( Singing Jay) spar each other
Batsong ( Jayden) & Embershadow ( MooingPanda) will spar together
Frogfang ( feather lily) & Dapplecloud ( ~Fierceclaw~) you’re together
Smokemoon ( ~Fierceclaw~) & Nightfoot ( tomatosoup) will fight each other
Adderflower ( @Nostaglia ) & Cedarsong ( Jay.) will be sparring
Clovernose ( Egasl) & Fiercefire ( Bramblefire01) also will be sparring
Shrewstep ( gs29513) & Mistheart ( Little Timmy) you’ll be fighting together,
And up first for learning to fight on three-legs is Redshrike ( Rani), you’re with me. The fight ends when your opponent has been pinned for five beats.”

She paused letting everyone break into their groups, waiting for Redshrike. She had an actual idea for later, that she wasn’t going to reveal until the fights had finished, but she was thinking about having the winners of each fight get dismissed and would work with the others who lost. She knew it was odd, typically in the fun matches, the cat leading would continue to pair up the winners so that they could see who was the best fighter in the clan, but she wanted to help the worst fighters become better instead. Stemhop wasn’t about to admit why she picked Redshrike, but she picked him because she wanted a challenge in fighting.

(Please mention me when your spar is completed)

[Singing Jay]

Embershadow frowned, casting a slightly confused glance at Shadestripe. "I suppose," he grunted. If you didn't get a scratch, you were probably fighting a poorly-trained apprentice. "Sometimes, a challenge is better."

Shadestripe nodded slowly Challenges can be fun,
yes and they can help you learn he mewed calmly
But in a battle it's better just to win with as few injuries
for the medicine-cat to bother with as possible
Oh, how poetic...
You're not helping.
Like you are?
My life, remember?
Yet you lead it so poorly...

Shadestripe looked up as the sparring partners where called out
(Should we end this interaction here?)

Eldershade hu? Shadestripe didn't know mush about
them but he was about to find out Eldershade?
he mewed with a slightly commanding voice.
Good, you're taking the lead
The voice inside his head mewed, not sarcastic this time.

[Egasl]

==> Clovernose <==

Clovernose shook with fright. He was paired with Fiercefire. Clovernose had heard that he was one of the fiercest fighters in the clan, hence the name. Clovernose began to back out of the clearing hoping he wasn’t seen.
Bramblefire01

~Smokemoon~
Smokemoon looked around for his partner, Nightfoot.
:heartbounce: tomatosoup :heartbounce:

~Dapplecloud~
Dapplecloud listened, her ears not that focused, just listening for a name for her to be paired up with. Ok, she was paired up with Frogfang ... wait, Frogfang?! Her lips curled over her teeth instantly and she fought the urge to unsheathe her claws. She looked around her former mate, the cat that had used her.

[Nixey]

~Splotchleaf~
Hearing who Clovernose got paired with, Splotchleaf wanted to step over and stop that right then and there. But, he knew that may cause more harm than good. Sighing, his gaze searched for Darktiger.
Silverfur & Co
~Flametail~
A soft grin spread along Flametails muzzle as his brown gaze scanned the crowd of cats. This should be fun.
SharpSight
~Sheepglow~
Anxiety prickled her pelt as she searched for the cat she was meant to spar with. There was hardly anyway she’d win this, but she might as well try. Opening her jaws, her voice softly called out ”Sootshadow?”

Sootshadow gave a breath of relief when he realized he wasn’t paired up with a blood thirsty cat. He rather have anyone over bloody thirsty Adderflower or Grimhound.

Hearing his name he turned to see Sheepglow padding up to him. He had never interacted with this molly but he could tell by her tone that she too was on the gentler side. Thank stars for that, he wouldn’t have to be fighting for his life during this training then. Besides he didn’t really care if he won or lose, anything to get this over with so he could get back to his nap.

The black coated warrior offered the warrior a charming smile.

“Hello, Im Sootshadow. It’s nice to meet you,” he spoke, his voice soothing and gentle. He hoped that Sheepglow and him could come to an understanding to keep this short and rather avoid injury.

[Nixey]

~Sheepglow~
Letting out a soft breath of relief once she could tell this cat wasn’t going to rip her throat out if he got the chance like some of the other warriors and even apprentices would’ve, Sheepglow offered a smile back. Her curly white fur looked thick but at least it would be easy for Sootshadow to tell if he hurt her.
Nodding, she flicked her short tail “it’s nice to meet you, I’m Sheepglow,” her blue eyes were sparkling a bit now, but, we’re under a patch of fur, making it difficult to see them. “Lets get this over with?”.

Adderflower narrowed her eyes as she heard that Frogfang was paired up with Dapplecloud. That would be interesting, she wished she could watch. From what Frogfang had told her, feelings were still raw between the ex-mates. To be honest she had hoped to spar with Frogfang, use this as another attempt to get closer to the tom without being obvious.

Oh well, Cedarsong would do. She was ready to dip her claws and draw blood, something she would have had to hold back on if she fought Frogfang.

The red and black molly got to her feet, and glared across the cats by her.

Who even was cedarsong? Clearly someone unimportant since Adderflower had never heard of them.

A dark smile crept across her face as her claw unsheathed and dig into the ground.

If this warrior was not important and less known then perhaps Adderflower could inflict more damage and not get punished? Hmmm.

“Cedarsong show yourself!” Adderflower growled as she began to circle the group, looking for her opponent.

Bright blue eyes met blue and Sootshadow blinked warmly at the molly.

They looked completely opposite, Sootshadow being nightly dark and Sheepglow being a brilliant white, their scuffle would look like a battle of good against evil.

In a clan full of anger and hate these two cats seemed like the rarities, funny how fate brought them to fight against one another.

Sootshadow sized up the warrior in front of him, hoping to make an assessment of her fighting style but all that he could find is that the little white cat was cute.

“All right doll, let start.”

Sootshadow dropped to a crouch and slowly started to circle his opponent, looking for openings. Keeping his claw sheathed he pounced, aiming to push Sheepglow backwards to unbalance her. If he managed to do that he would then jump on her back and pin her down.

[gs29513]

Hmm, Mistheart. Not a name Shrewstep knew, and while he was disappointed not to be dealing with Frogfart he was fairly certain Dappledcloud would give the tom a few good whacks. Unfortunately without claws, but whacks were whacks. And now to find his partner. Trotting quickly over, he dropped into a stance before waiting for his partner to be ready as well. You ready? he inquired, bunching his hind legs subtly beneath him. He planned to leap as soon as they gave the goahead. Little Timmy

oh no oh no oh no why did she want to do this. She’s not a fighter, she’s a- a uh, never mind on that. Nervousness clouded in her eyes, what if she hurt the other cat? What if the cat hurt her?? She took a deep breath, she had to find her partner, she could do this! Well, she at least was trying to convince herself. This was definitely the worst time to give up or have a random mental breakdown, okay she could control them but stillll.
She parted her jaw to speak but nothing came out, she took another deep breath and looked at her opponent. This was only trading, she could do it.
“Yes.” she replied, getting ready for any attacks this cat tried.

Smokemoon looked around for his partner, Nightfoot.

Well great he’s paired with dapplecloud. He walked over to her not saying a word. He wanted to be with adderflower or really anybody that wasn’t his ex-mate. Positootly so maybe he was the one that left her but she took briarkit she abandoned the rest of her kits and that’s what made him mad. He wasn’t all heartless

[Levi 99]

With a noticeable look of depression and annoyance on his face, Shadefrost gave a quick glance over towards Troutclaw in order to study his opponent better. shaded shadow

~Sheepglow~
Sheepglows ears had perked at what Sootshadow called her. ‘Doll?’ that was a odd name, something completely unexpected.
Taking a deep breath Sheepglow watched as Sootshadow circled her, her heart seeming to be heard in her ears as she awaited for his move. She couldn’t be sure of what this tom was going to do, so, she bunched her muscles, preparing for anything. When he pounced towards her Sheepglow shot out away from his outstretched paws, though he could grab onto her tail.
Flipping around to face him, Sheepglow aimed a swipe at Sootshadows head. Her claws were sheathed, silently praying that none of the other cats or Sootshadow himself would draw blood.

[~Sayonara~]

(MooingPanda)

Batsong sighed and stood up, looking around for his sparring partner. Giving up after merely scanning the area and knowing he doesn't even know who it is that he's supposed to spar with, he sits down and grooms himself and sees if any lone cat is left without a sparring partner and assume that's his partner. Unless if his partner actually knows what he looks like and comes up to him first which might be a slightly more likely situation. Then again, not many ShadowClan cats care to know each other unless it's convenient. Oh well, he'll just have to see.

Oh stars not Adderflower. They had
heard a bit about her and she had a
reputation for- um being a bit violent.

As Cedarsong tilted their head, they heard
their name being screeched. "I'm- I'm over here."

[Rani]

Of course the weak fool Stemhop wouldnt really manage to make shadowclan stronger with this training session, his theory about the weak was ever proven right. He let out a sharp scoff at the claws in rule, shadowclan always sparred with claws out it made them strong and ensured the warriors would be dedicated to avoiding blows, this was pathetic soft hearted drivel. He let out another scoff scornfull and spitting at the news he was paired with the cripple himself to learn how to fight like that quarter cat. It'd be useless skill to learn, Redshrike wasnt like this cat and would sooner die then loose a leg and be a crippled weakling like her. Besides he has actual skill, no enemy would land such a blow on him. This would be nothing but annoying...... Except..... Blows could be painful even without claws or fangs if you were strong enough and he was more then strong enough. A sadistic grin curled on his muzzle as he dropped into a battle crouch slinking over to Stemhop as he prepared to lunge at her with the slightest inclination she noticed him. Redshrike would leave her bruised and in pain with no break to her pitiful rules.

Clovernose shook with fright. He was paired with Fiercefire. Clovernose had heard that he was one of the fiercest fighters in the clan, hence the name. Clovernose began to back out of the clearing hoping he wasn’t seen.
Bramblefire01
Fiercefire began stalking towards his opponent. He could tell immediatly Clovernose was a coward. Leaping at the other tom, he attempted to throw him into a grapple.

~Sheepglow~
Sheepglows ears had perked at what Sootshadow called her. ‘Doll?’ that was a odd name, something completely unexpected.
Taking a deep breath Sheepglow watched as Sootshadow circled her, her heart seeming to be heard in her ears as she awaited for his move. She couldn’t be sure of what this tom was going to do, so, she bunched her muscles, preparing for anything. When he pounced towards her Sheepglow shot out away from his outstretched paws, though he could grab onto her tail.
Flipping around to face him, Sheepglow aimed a swipe at Sootshadows head. Her claws were sheathed, silently praying that none of the other cats or Sootshadow himself would draw blood.

Sootshadow’s paws grazed across Sheepglow’s tail, his paws slamming down on the earth where her body had been.

The tiny molly was fast!

His eyes narrowed as he ducked the attempted swiped, darting his face away as her paw caught the edge of his ears. Her claws were also sheathed, thank starclan. Sootshadow was not in the mood to have any nicks in his ears.

The black tom dropped low and darted forward, trying to slither under his opponent’s belly. He planed to twist under her and then use his hind legs to throw her into the air, if he managed contact between his paws and her stomach.

Only issue that weighed in the back of his head was the molly’s height. He hopped he actually managed to get under her.

With a noticeable look of depression and annoyance on his face, Shadefrost gave a quick glance over towards Troutclaw in order to study his opponent better.

Oh stars not Adderflower. They had
heard a bit about her and she had a
reputation for- um being a bit violent.

As Cedarsong tilted their head, they heard
their name being screeched. "I'm- I'm over here."

Adderflower spotted her target and her sadistic grin grew wider.

This cat had stummered, for Starclan’s sake. They hadn’t even started yet but it was clear that the other warrior was intimidated by having her as a partner.

Oh this was going to be easy.

Adderflower weaved her way towards Cedarsong, her movements fast and fluid as she stalked up to them.

“Pleasure to meet you,” she cooed in a sickly sweet voice as she placed herself at an uncomfortable close distance to the other warrior.

This cat was smaller and Adderflower has a surge of dominance flicker over her pelt as she gazed down at them.

“Shall we get started?” She breathed, her eyes widening.

With the only warning being the sound of her claw unsheathed, Adderflower lunged forward, throwing her opponent onto her back, her paws raised to swipe at the other warriors face.

~Sheepglow~
She had done it! Well, narrowly done it. Feeling his paws graze her tail had given Sheepglow quite a start, thinking he was about to pin her short tail down, she swept it away, causing the more curler parts to collect dirt. Letting out a soft groan, she knew she’d have to clean that later.
When her paw missed Sootshadow, Sheepglow had let out a gentle sigh. Not having expected the tom to try to shoot under her however, she didn’t have enough time to react.
Feeling the blow connect with her underbelly, she was sent up into the air. Shock echoed in her mind as she extended her legs to land. Once she was back on the ground, Sheepglow swung her head around to look back at Sootshadow, a bit of amusement shimmered in her eyes.
It took Sheepglow a few moments to regain her balance this time, leaving her quite vulnerable until she was able to dig her claws into the ground. Sheepglow took off towards Sootshadow, dust being thrown up behind her as all thoughts of grace were thrown to the wind. Using her hind legs, Sheepglow launched herself forward and extended her paws, trying to shove into the tom.

Clovernose screeched and tried to get out of the way only enough for Fiercefire to trip him and he went tumbling in the dirt.

His eyes widen with extreme fear. He did not like fighting at all. This was not what he intended to be doing with his life.

Clovernose laid on the ground hoping Fiercefire thought he was dead.

Shadestripe nodded slowly Challenges can be fun,
yes and they can help you learn he mewed calmly
But in a battle it's better just to win with as few injuries
for the medicine-cat to bother with as possible
Oh, how poetic...
You're not helping.
Like you are?
My life, remember?
Yet you lead it so poorly...

Shadestripe looked up as the sparring partners where called out
(Should we end this interaction here?)

(yes)
Now everyone thought he was complaining. Great. He growled in annoyance. What a bunch of turds. "Well, aren't you just a big rainbow of happiness," Embershadow shot back, before turning his back on the tom. He hoped Stemhop would pair him up with Shadestripe, but his sparring partner was Batsong. Cool. Literally no idea who Batsong was.

Taking note of the lost looking cat, Batsong headed over and eyed the tom up and down, his tail lashing a bit behind him as he did so with sharp amber eyes.
"Are you Embershadow?"
The black tom wasn't sure if he was right to approach but it surely couldn't hurt to ask. He had much more important things to worry about once he battle actually came upon them.

Surprised that the battle was already starting Shadefrost dodged his clanmates attack, just barely escaping untouched, this was definitely not an event he wanted to be in. As anger now bubbled up in side of him, the black tom calmly sat with his tail curled over his paws, waiting for Troutclaw to attack again.

Using her hind legs, Sheepglow launched herself forward and extended her paws, trying to shove into the tom.


Sootshadow gave an amused humph as he managed to glide under the small molly. As he had slid he had to press himself firmly as low to the ground as he could, still slightly feeling blinded by the other warriors curly fur as he slid.

With his attack was successful Sootshadow let out a chuckle and he caught Sheepglow’s eye, seeing that his movements had been unexpected.

Seeing the molly unbalanced and slightly dazed as she landed, The black furred tom let himself relax and take a small breather; he was going to wait till the molly came back to her senses. Unlike the other Shadowclan warriors, Sootshadow praised himself on this manners, while all his clanmates were warriors the mollies were still mollies, they deserved a bit of respect.

His moment of relaxation was, however, in poor taste as the curly haired warrior suddenly shot forward, and tumbled right into him.

Sootshadow felt his paws leave the ground and felt himself hurled into the air before landing with a loud thump.

“Ooff” escaped his mouth as he felt the air leave his chest.

Stars, the little cat could pack a punch.

“Well played,” he praised grogerly as he took a second to let his head lay back onto the ground. If only he could just close his eyes and take a nap here...

The tom pushed himself up and faced Sheepglow again, a grin on his face as he rolled his shoulder.

Giving his shoulder a final roll, the tom leaped forward hoping to land on the other warriors shoulders. If he managed to stay they would see if she could buck him off.

Ah, so that was Eldershade. Shadestripe looked her up and

concerned him if it wasn't for her small size
You shouldn't have mush trouble with that
Great, the voice had decided now was a good time to bug him
Can you be quiet during our training?
Whatever, just shred her

As the Shadowclan warrior charged foward clearly not being strategic, Shadefrost only prepared himself for what he was about to do, waiting until his opponent was a few feet in front of him. After a second went by Shadefrost decide to make his move, taking and raising his sheathed paw and bringing it down hard, only a cat only a cat with super reflexes could dodge this attack.

~Sheepglow~
Sheepglow was starting to get tired and hot. The thick, curly fur that bounced with every movement didn’t help either.
When Sheepglow felt her blow connect and saw the tom go sprawling backwards, she had to suppress a laugh. When Sootshadow had connected with the ground however, Sheepglow gave him a moment. He wasn’t her enemy, he was a clan mate, even if they were sparring she was a bit worried she had hurt him.
When Sootshadow began rolling his shoulders, Sheepglow tilted her head softly, though when she was jump at a soft gasp escaped her. Sootshadow was able to land in Sheepglows shoulders, forcing the smaller cats front down towards the ground as she used her front legs to try to push Sootshadow off. Sheepglow for some reason felt weaker at this moment, maybe it was how hot she was feeling.

Fiercefire scoffed. For a moment he just stared at the tom in awe at his stupidity. "Listen, I'm telling you this to help you, NEVER expose your stomach. In a battle you'd be dead by now. Because im your clanmate, I wont kill you." He growled. He then tried to place his paws on Clovernose's shoulders, holding him in place. If the tom didn't move, he would do a fake bite to his neck. If it was real, he'd be dead. Then to do some actual damage, he would strike his face twice.

Sootshadow gave a laugh at how ridiculous the two must have looked in the moment.

A dark larger cat riding a small white one like a bull, what sight indeed.

He felt the cat’s kick’s getting weaker so he felt comfortable enough to take a second to look around at the other cats. Compared to the fights going around them, Sootshadow and Sheepglow must have looked like kits play fighting.

Man he didn’t want to fight anyone else.

With the him that thought he lost balance and fell down, tumbling past Sheepglow’s head.

He let himself fall to the ground and gave a dramatic groan.

“Ah you’ve killed me! You win, I cannot go on,” he declared paw over his eyes.

He struggled to not let himself laugh.

Once she had caught her breath, Sheepglow snorted softly before padding over and attempting to place her paws against Sootshadows shoulders. It was just to show she had won the way Stemphop had intended the cats to.
Stepping back, she grinned at Sootshadow, this cat was amusing, she could get along with him.

Welp, that was all Shrewstep needed. Lunging forward with as much force as he could muster from his hind legs, he hoped to plow straight into the molly's chest. She seemed nervous to begin with, hopefully a few good hits early would only make her more nervous. At least then he would have the psychological advantage. While he was leaping at her chest, he wasn't going in paws first. Instead, he angled himself slightly so that if he collided it would be his shoulder hitting her, adding more force with their boniness. Little Timmy

With Sheepglow’s paw on his, Sootshadow let out a loud breath and let his tongue fall out of his jaws, signaling his death.

Laying still for a few seconds he finally rolled over and jumped to his paws, flashing his opponent a smile.

“Well that was a quick death, never knew it could be so sweet,” he mused clearly amused.

He sat down and began to clean himself, there was dirt all over his fur.

Raising a eyebrow, the shecat let out another soft laugh. Now that the battle between them was over, she’d just sit and wait to see if she had to fight again. Padding over, she sat down beside him before also trying to clean the pieces of dirt out of her curly fur.
She flashed the tom a joking smile as she sighed “you’ve gotten dirt all in my fur, do you know how hard it is to clean??” shockingly enough, she felt quite relaxed with this cat. Pausing, she titled her head “plus, what’d you mean about death being sweet?” she scoffed that sort out, still joking as she kept a warm smile along her muzzle.

Of course the weak fool Stemhop wouldnt really manage to make shadowclan stronger with this training session, his theory about the weak was ever proven right. He let out a sharp scoff at the claws in rule, shadowclan always sparred with claws out it made them strong and ensured the warriors would be dedicated to avoiding blows, this was pathetic soft hearted drivel. He let out another scoff scornfull and spitting at the news he was paired with the cripple himself to learn how to fight like that quarter cat. It'd be useless skill to learn, Redshrike wasnt like this cat and would sooner die then loose a leg and be a crippled weakling like her. Besides he has actual skill, no enemy would land such a blow on him. This would be nothing but annoying...... Except..... Blows could be painful even without claws or fangs if you were strong enough and he was more then strong enough. A sadistic grin curled on his muzzle as he dropped into a battle crouch slinking over to Stemhop as he prepared to lunge at her with the slightest inclination she noticed him. Redshrike would leave her bruised and in pain with no break to her pitiful rules.

Zesty Mango
Stemhop gave a growl,” You don’t want to learn this skill fine, here’s the deal, you win the fight, you don’t have to learn it, you lose I get to teach you the skill. Deal?” she asked not waiting for an answer before launching herself off dodging the lunge, as if she was going to attempt to land on Redshrike’s back, however, she intended to twist in the air and try to have her front paws come down on the top of Redshrike’s head so that she’d then fall slightly down the front of the tom’s face but land on her paws in front of him, if it worked, worst case, it wouldn’t no harm in a useless blow, only danger was if she landed wrong.

Embershadow quickly turned when his paws hit the ground, chasing after Batsong. He hopped in the air, neatly dodging the tom's swipe. He scrabbled around as the warrior put him in a headlock, rolling over on the ground. Finding some purchase in the dirt, he heaved upward with his hind legs, shoving Batsong off him.

Eldershade sheathed her claws and stalked back and forth, eyeing Shadestripe up. He was bigger than her, and probably stronger. That was fine. He seemed easily distracted, focusing on her with the kind of intensity people got when they were trying not to think of something else.


She could work with that. She swiped at his face and chest, testing, her paws quick and sure.

Shadestripe knew trying to duck the blows would be practically
useless but without claws it wouldn't hurt mush. He turned so the blow
landed on his shoulder and was a little surprised at her strength,
he had expected someone that small to be rather weak.
Doesn't matter, get on with it!
He couldn't help but let out a short but quiet grunt in a mixture
of anger and annoyance, not a the blow but at the voice that
could never not talk.
After he quickly regained a good stance he raised one of his fore
paws, directing the impact in the general area of her flank.
He didn't mean to hit all to hard, it was training after all but
his anger enforced the blow.

Embershadow bucked violently, twisting around to nip at Batsong's paw. Wriggling a foot free, he took a swing at the tom's head, hoping to dislodge his hold.

She had given her opponent a thick slash across the ears and her eyes flickered to admire the way the blood gleamed.

Crimson red was her favorite color after all.

The molly licked her lips and shot downwards, attempting to bite her opponents shoulders. As she did she kicked up her legs, ignoring the way her own legs bled and twisted mid air, throwing the both of the cats rolling to the side.

She knew she could beat this cat but the way it was going was ... too easy. Why not try something new?

[JackHunt_17]

==> Clovernose <==

Clovernose barred his fangs and heaved his larger frame to attempt to get back on his feet. The pain in his shoulders throbbed from Fiercefires claws. He could feel tears burn his eyes and leak onto his fur.
Was he actually crying? Fiercefire scowled. "Not cats going to take pity on you, but because I'm your clanmate, I'll give you a chance." He growled, releasing some of his power.

[SharpSight]

~Splotchleaf~
Hearing who Clovernose got paired with, Splotchleaf wanted to step over and stop that right then and there. But, he knew that may cause more harm than good. Sighing, his gaze searched for Darktiger.

A soft grin spread along Flametails muzzle as his brown gaze scanned the crowd of cats. This should be fun.

Anxiety prickled her pelt as she searched for the cat she was meant to spar with. There was hardly anyway she’d win this, but she might as well try. Opening her jaws, her voice softly called out ”Sootshadow?”

Sharpsight hissed softly, eager to start the training session.

Clovernose gasped in pain. He’s never been severely hurt before and this felt bad.

“Claws, ow,”Clovernose breathed, “Get off! I need the med cats attention. ” tears still stung his eyes as he hoped Fiercefire would let him up.

[~Sayonara~]

Embershadow bucked violently, twisting around to nip at Batsong's paw. Wriggling a foot free, he took a swing at the tom's head, hoping to dislodge his hold.
Jayden

Batsong held on as long as he could before letting go and landing in the dirt, recovering, he began swatting at the tom's face and edging him back, lunging a few times.

[MooingPanda]

Embershadow quickly scrambled up, lashing out a paw of his own. As Batsong came at him, he deflected most of the blows, though a couple landed on his cheek. His face stinging, he decided to mount an attack of his own. Raising himself up on his hind legs, he leaped forward, intending to crash down on the tom's shoulders.

Batsong quickly moved aside and knocked the tom over onto his side keeping his head and forepaws down on the dirt while lashing his tail and growling softly. Had he won? Probably not, but it was a good fight. He was enjoying himself for once.

[Nixey]

Sharpsight hissed softly, eager to start the training session.
~Flametail~
Hearing the boss, Flametail swung around to face Sharpsight. Trying to not allow the cat the chance to properly prepare, he circled them before jumping towards them with extended paws, trying to attempt to knock the cat over.

[MooingPanda]

(Please stop powerplaying)
Embershadow grunted as Batsong once again tried to pin him. He really needed to stop letting this happen. He used the same maneuver as last time, twisting around to shove at the tom's belly with his hind paws to gain some space. Jayden

Sharpsight was already alert, and managed to duck the attack. She whip around and leapt for the Tom, extending one paw, hoping to whack him in the head hard enough for him to lose balance.

(Sorry about that..)

Batsong stumbled backwards, tripping on his own paws and attempting to get his footing back. It was fair though, he likely deserved it. Landing on his hindquarters, he shook his head.

As the Shadowclan warrior charged foward clearly not being strategic, Shadefrost only prepared himself for what he was about to do, waiting until his opponent was a few feet in front of him. After a second went by Shadefrost decide to make his move, taking and raising his sheathed paw and bringing it down hard, only a cat only a cat with super reflexes could dodge this attack.

troutclaw tried to dodge when he saw shadefrosts paw coming at him but got hit by it and this time stood back to see what shadefrost would do.

"You're fine. The marks aren't even a claw-length deep!" Fiercefire growled. He let the tom get to his feet, to see if he would run.

Shadefrost wasn't in the mood to fight anyone from shadowclan, not because they were his clan mates, but because he found no joy or pleasure in it. As his opponent backed away, Shadefrost only watched him closely while at the same time trying to decide whether he would attack or not. What a headache though, first the hunting patrol and now this, couldn't this tom ever get a break. It almost seemed like everyone in Shadowclan was bent on making him do something daily.

[Nixey]

Sharpsight was already alert, and managed to duck the attack. She whip around and leapt for the Tom, extending one paw, hoping to whack him in the head hard enough for him to lose balance.
~Flametail~
Ducking the attack, his grin grew as he tried to knock his shoulder into the shes. Hoping to knock her over.
Darktiger had started to counter circle him. Once he tried rushing at her she leaped at him. She was not going to let him pin her down. She growled.
~Splotchleaf~
Seeing the cat leap at him Splotchleaf tumbled backwards for a moment before shooting forwards again. Attempting to jump up and meet her in mid air, Splotchleaf extended his paws.

[Egasl]

"You're fine. The marks aren't even a claw-length deep!" Fiercefire growled. He let the tom get to his feet, to see if he would run.



==> Clovernose <==

Clovernose sighed in relief as the tom removed his paws from off his throbbing shoulders. He rolled over and gingerly stood up. He attempted to take a step, but shrieked in pain. It felt like his forelegs were about to be tore off. He collapsed onto his side.

“You must’ve done something else!” Clovernose accused.

// There is nothing wrong with him… he’s just a big baby \\

“I can’t even stand… what do you want me to do?” tears leaked from his eyes. Fire blazed in his shoulders. Splotchleaf, he thought, where’s Splotchleaf? He’ll help me.

“Splotchleaf!” Clovernose wailed.


Nixey // lol here we go \\

Beginning to breath heavily now, Embershadow quickly scrambled to his feet. He barrelled toward Batsong, not giving the tom any time to rest. He had to be tired as well, so Embershadow tried to finish it as quickly as possible.

"Have you EVER fought before?" Fiercefire growled. Reluctantly he placed his tail on the warriors shoulders, helping him regain his balance. "If I were my brother I would've murdered you already you weakling."

Clovernose wailed again, ignoring Fiercefire's remarks.

"Splotchleaf! I'm hurt! The mean cat is going to kill me!" He could see Splotchleaf fighting in the distant. Clovernose's vision was getting cloudy. He was afraid he was dying.
"Oh dear Starclan, have you come for me?" He mutters as his vision totally gives out and he falls into a dark place.

Fiercefire couldn't believe this guy. He didn't want to be called out for hurting him though, so he called out to Splotchleaf, whoever that cat was. "Splotchleaf, this idiolt Clovernose just passed out from 2 shoulder scratches and is calling for you." He growled. ( Nixey )

[Nixey]

~Splotchleaf~
He had heard Clovernose wail his name twice now, landing on all fours the grey-blue silver tom turned to look at Darktiger for a moment with a sigh “you’re a good fighter, I’m sorry I have to back out,” turning with this, Splotchleaf seemed to sway his way over.
Sniffing softly at Clovernoses scratches, Splotchleaf groaned softly as he blinked towards Fiercefire “I’m so sorry about Clovernose,” snatching Clovernose by the scruff, Splotchleaf tried to gently drag the tom back into the clearing.

[tomatosoup]

Shadestripe knew trying to duck the blows would be practically
useless but without claws it wouldn't hurt mush. He turned so the blow
landed on his shoulder and was a little surprised at her strength,
he had expected someone that small to be rather weak.
Doesn't matter, get on with it!
He couldn't help but let out a short but quiet grunt in a mixture
of anger and annoyance, not a the blow but at the voice that
could never not talk.
After he quickly regained a good stance he raised one of his fore
paws, directing the impact in the general area of her flank.
He didn't mean to hit all to hard, it was training after all but
his anger enforced the blow.




Eldershade was surprised by the strength of the blow. She rolled with it, letting it push her back, and bared her teeth in something that was more snarl than grin.

"Oh, we're fighting fighting," she meowed, almost cheerful, short stub of a tail fluffed out with excitement.


She sprung at him with fast paw swipes, trying to find an opportunity to grapple him.

Shadestripe two could feel the excitement of the battle,
he hadn't had someone to spar with in a good while and
he had feared that he would get some that wasn't
at all interested in fighting and would only do this to
look good and was glad to be proven wrong.

An idea sprung up in his head and he let him self go limp
and get knocked down by his opponent.
What are you doing?!
The voice hissed, seemingly not have noticed the idea he
had in mind but he didn't care right now, he had a battle
to win? He was laying on the ground on his back, hoping
Eldershade would try to pin him down, it would give him the
opportunity he needed.

[MooingPanda]

Embershadow relaxed as Batsong went limp and stood up. "I believe that's a win," he meowed. "Nice fight." He turned to his pelt, which had all kinds of garbage in it. He shook himself off, then turned to watch the other fights.

She stood frozen, watching as the cat jumped at her. Oh no, she didn’t know what to do! Or where to go, or how to avoid the attack! She was useless, well if she died her she wouldn’t have to die anywhere else. No! She couldn’t give up now! They were barley started and Dawnstar would probably throw her off a cliff if she kept up acting like the puny mouse brain she is. She steadied her gaze, bringing it to her opponent. She forced her trembling paws to move to the side to avoid the attack, okay, one of her skills was definitely not fighting, but she was,,, fast. Only some of the other cats shoulder touched hers. That was close that was close that was close she repeated in her head.

[gs29513]

Well, this cat didn't seem like the fighting type. That much was plaint to Shrewstep, and while he was almost tempted to scoff at their lack of ferocity he restrained it. After all, he hadn't been the most.....warlike....once upon at time. But times change, he had no clue how she managed to become a warrior with an attitude like that. Must have been during Icestar's time. Still, no way was he going easy on her. Spinning tightly on his hind paws he lunged again, this time swinging his left paw towards her side and his right in a downwards blow towards her back. Hopefully she wouldn't be able to avoid both, which would sting even without claws. Little Timmy

Eldershade recognized a feint when she saw one, but the temptation was too much. She lunged, attempting to pin, keeping her legs close together so he would have trouble getting to her vulnerable belly.

As soon as she came to pin him down Shadestripe's
fore paws shoot out attempting to strike Eldershade as
hard as he could in ether side of the head. This was a trick he
had been wanting to try for a while but it was too risky to practice it
in a real battle and the move relied on his opponent not seeing it coming
it, there fore he couldn't call to someone to come and help him with it.

Shadestripe could feel the voice finally realizing what he
was doing and even if Eldershade manged to jump away from
his blows he would still have won a little battle against the voice.
Didn't see that coming, did you?
I- I was just paying attention to the fight, not your thoughts!

off and have a chance of a good blow.
Surely it was self defense at this point?
When they were rolling they saw an opportunity of a blow.

They used their small size their
advantage and attempted to
squeeze out of Adder's grip. If this
was successful, they might be able to land a blow
before she could react.

Eldershade jerked her head back a second too slow, and the paws slammed into either side of her jaw. The blow was jarring, but not stunning as it would have been if it hit her head. It hurt, though. She'd have to remember that, give it a try sometime.

Now, though, his paws were up near her head, and she took the opportunity to plant a forepaw on his throat, bearing down with her weight. She didn't weigh very much, but certainly enough to make him uncomfortable quickly.

Interesting... he would have to work on that later.
See? It didn't work
Quiet! Im tryin to concentrate here

Shadestripe didn't like the feeling on her paw on his
throat, he was heavier then her but his reflex was to
strike out with all his paws at once and he had to
restrain him self not to unsheathe his claws. Eldershade had
guarded her belly well and Shadestripe wasn't sure if he would
be able to do any damage there, well damage and damage, it was
just training after all. His left fore paw striked at the paw at his throat,
he wasn't even sure if he had succeeded in hitting her but at least he
got away. He stood up before looking towards her to see if his jabs had
made contact. His escape hasn't been the most graceful but it
worked... somewhat.

[tomatosoup]

The strikes hit her legs and shoulder,shoving her off him, a follow through strike nearly taking her paws out from under her. Shadestripe had stood up, and Eldershade backpedaled, putting some space between.


She was panting with exertion, her nub of a tail puffed out. She laughed.


"That was really impressive," she meowed, genuine interest sparkling in her eyes. She kept a bit of distance between them, in case he was still ready to make a move. "What was the- the thing you were doing, earlier, with the paws at my head?"

[Rani]

Stemhop gave a growl,” You don’t want to learn this skill fine, here’s the deal, you win the fight, you don’t have to learn it, you lose I get to teach you the skill. Deal?” she asked not waiting for an answer before launching herself off dodging the lunge, as if she was going to attempt to land on Redshrike’s back, however, she intended to twist in the air and try to have her front paws come down on the top of Redshrike’s head so that she’d then fall slightly down the front of the tom’s face but land on her paws in front of him, if it worked, worst case, it wouldn’t no harm in a useless blow, only danger was if she landed wrong.

"I dont care to make deals with soft hearted lame prey shrews but I will happily beat you anyway. I suppose if you win you'll at least get to convince me you might have a use despite everything about you. You wont achieve it but the chance is one you should be thankfull for."
And with that he lunged, head low and front paw lashing out (claw reluctantly sheathed) to try and land a bruising opening blow as he used himself as a battering ram. Of course she didnt sit still though and in a move that was surprisingly agile given her lack of a leg she shot up over him. Redshrike wasnt going to stay still either though. Planting his back paws in place and not bothering to get out from under her he reared up and twisted as she came down, paws coming up to grapple. His twist and rear would either cause them both to miss eachother or they would connect in a rough collision that'd send them both into a wrestling match. More bruises could be made if Shrewhop wasnt able to dodge even if the same was possible for him.

Stemhop growled as Redshrike twisted. It threw her off and she found herself coming down right into Redshrike. She knew it would be ugly and as she realized he was going to grapple her she tried to twist so she could also grapple him. It would turn into an ugly fight with pain and bruises, but she was down for it as she found herself colliding with Redshrike hissing angrily at him, well not to angrily, he was a clanmate after all. Just practice fighting hissing.

"Smart," Eldershade meowed, admiringly. "You could aim for their throat, maybe. A punch that hard would stun a cat even with claws sheathed."

She circled, tail puffed up, and tilted her head, inviting, making her intention clear: she was ready to spar again when he was.

The low growl the runty Maine coon let out in reply to Stemhops hiss was cut off into a grunt as the weight and impact of her body hit. He was strong, sharing the stature of his breed even if the average size of a normal cat but even at he took the weight trying to wrap paws around her shoulders in an attempt to force her to the ground the blow bruised. Still here they were now Redshrike barley on his hind legs as the front of his weight went to pressing down on Stemhop as his mouth lashed out and attempted to land a (only barley) fangless bite on the side of the warriors face. Failing that he’d just go for a head ram, grapples unlike battles barley had any intelligence to them and oft came down to just brute strength. He had to pay back the low aching he could already feel the molly had created under his thick fur.

She knew this was a lame move, but surprisingly it distracted many warriors, with her tail still free she began to attempt to randomly tap his lower back with her tail. It typically annoyed warriors and interupted their focus as she tried to get free enough to if it worked twist her upper body around and yank free and would then try to quickly throw herself over Redshrike’s neck. Not enough to interfear with breathing but enough he’d struggle to get up, he might be strong, but almost no cat could stand up with another cat on top of their neck.

Rrrrrg this fight was just completely unsatisfying! There was no blood to tide Redshrike over and it was becoming apparent that despite her lack of a leg Stemhop was stronger than the tom had first anticipated and unless the warrior found a way to get the upper paw this might just turn out as a tie. Unacceptable he was the strongest and he would prove it here. Feeling the tap on his back and flicking a gaze back to check on the sensation he let out a low angry grown as Stemhop twisted out of his grip and lunged at him. It connected to a degree, the molly was now on top of him and he was forced onto four paws but this grip was no complete enough to hold him for long. Dropping down further a bit he ducked and executed a neat roll putting some distance between the two fighters once more.

"Youre not useless at least, good anyone who is a weak burden to shadowclan shouldnt be allowed to remain, but I will not let myself to be defeated even if you are a competent cripple."
With the vicious oily hiss and words Redshrike dug his claws into the ground scooping up a large pawful of dirt and dust and quickly accurately chucking it dead at Stemhops eyes. Using the potentially blindness of the molly or at least the dusty cover he moved sliding low and lashing out a strong and vicious blow hooked at her legs. It was aimed to use her less balanced frame to topple her off her paws but it'd bruise hard even if he didnt manage that.

He had heard Clovernose wail his name twice now, landing on all fours the grey-blue silver tom turned to look at Darktiger for a moment with a sigh “you’re a good fighter, I’m sorry I have to back out,” turning with this, Splotchleaf seemed to sway his way over.
Sniffing softly at Clovernoses scratches, Splotchleaf groaned softly as he blinked towards Fiercefire “I’m so sorry about Clovernose,” snatching Clovernose by the scruff, Splotchleaf tried to gently drag the tom back into the clearing.

Darktiger dips her head and smiled "thanks so are you."

Stemhop hissed as the dirt got flung in her eyes. She hissed. She hated the word cripple, she was far more capable than most of the Shadowclan warriors. She snarled as she found her leg getting hooked, she knew it would hurt as she came down, but she had a plan, using the two legs that weren’t hooked, she twisted trying to hook Redshrike’s legs to pull him down. If that worked she could try to kick him pretty hard before attempting to pin him down and win, it probably wouldn’t be that easy, but it was her goal at least.

Stemhop growled and pulled herself free of the fighting after a minute,” Call it a draw, Redshrike, everyone else has wrapped up.” she spat glancing at her clanmates,” Well done some of you. Alright those of you who won your fights are free to go. I’ll need Sootshadow Nostalgia, Clovernose Egasl, Splotchleaf Nixey, Troutclaw shaded shadow, Batsong Jayden, and Cedarsong Jay. to stay back for some remedial training” she meowed. She was going to report this to Dawnstar later and would be sure to mention who fought well and who failed to follow the rules she set.

Eldershade glanced at Stemhop, and shrugged at Shadestripe, relaxing her shoulders and dropping out of her battle ready stance.

"That was fun," she meowed. Her eyes were glittering, she seemed genuinely excited. "Spar again sometime?"


She was already heading away as she said it, turning to catch up with Nightfoot.

Shadestorm nodded in response to Eldershade and and padded
away with long strides, he was a little disappointed in that he didn't
get to continue training. Stemhop is dump anyway... he
thought to him self.

==> Clovernose <==

Clovernose had woken from his fainting incident and was still in a daze when Stemhop called his name. What had he gotten himself into now? Stemhop had also called Splotchleaf’s name so maybe it won’t be as bad as it seems.

Embershadow nodded to Batsong. "Good fight," he muttered, walking off Jayden

[Nixey]

~Splotchleaf~
He had been standing guard by Clovernose, silently watching the other cats as he wished he hadn’t had to back out. Puffing out a soft sigh, the tom shook his head silently, as if trying to fling away any worry. Clovernose was merely playing pretend, sure, maybe the other cat shouldn’t have used claws, but other than a few scratches the tom was fine.
His name was being called again. Great. He had to fight again didn’t he? Giving a soft frown, he turned his gaze onto Clovernose “cmon, no more dramatics,” his tone was gentle towards Clovernose, something he hardly ever held for any other cat. Padding towards Stemhop and the gathering cats, Splotchleaf awaited instructions.

It was intensely frustrating that no matter what move Redshrike pulled no matter what blows he managed to land Stemhop always seemed to return the hit. He wrestled her down to the ground and she'd just take him with her creating yet another vicious wrestling match on the ground with equal bruises for both parties. He should be better then this, better then a cat missing a leg he was stronger then this. But he was increasingly forced to come to the realization that the other molly was strong too, or at least just capable enough to hold her own. Intelligent enough to realize she wasnt going to win either as she called it off in a draw focusing now on the weaker warriors that would need to be driven by force to being of use to the clan.


A tad grumpily the tom rolled himself to his paws shaking the dirt off his pelt that'd accumulated with the twos rough grappling on the ground. This fighting session hadnt exactly been satisfying..... but it was tolerable with a foe that at least put up a proper fight. With a small grunt in acknowledgement and a snort of amusement at the pathetic dregs Redshrike happily left with a "Good luck with the weaklings Im sure that'll be a lovely experience for you." before he was gone.
