Jaykit glared at the apprentice. "Hi, ugly-boy!" he meowed. "You look awful today!" Jaykit suppressed a small giggled.

The cat vanished into a burning den and Lionstar hardly had time to follow him through the haze when it collapsed.

He could hear the screams-- somehow the cat was still alive? And he didn't think twice about trying to dig through the burning rubble, hissing as fire singed and burned his paws. "Hang in there!" He called, coughing from the black plumes as he struggled to break through the flaming pile. This was hardly worth his efforts; he knew that. The chances of this cat surviving if they were pinned were minimal but ThunderClan had seen enough death tonight-- if he could prevent another, that'd alone would make it worth something.

Mossyflight stilled as Lionstar began to haul the debris off him. He was trembling to stay still and avoid making it more difficult to be freed.

Fawnsqueak saw two cats--one of which he identified as Lionwhisker--race past him, so he imagined Duskstar and friend would be well taken care of by the expert on the scene. Lionwhisker was an experienced medicine cat, he was just...

Okay, it probably wasn't the time to be dealing with his own internal struggles. He was in a literal wildfire, the dead and dying surrounding him. Focus.

"Call out if--" a cough from the force of the cry into smoky air, "--if you need help!" Fawnsqueak stumbled through the wreckage of charred twigs and hot embers, dodging the fiery clumps the best he could. The dens were too far gone to venture into, and his eyes burned, but he was persistent in locating a hopefully-breathing body in their death trap of a camp.


((final chance for anyone whose character wants a last-min saving/evac?))

A breakthrough!

.. Though Lionstar didn't know if they could consider it a real one when all he managed to do was uncover this cat's legs. Yeesh, he knew his paws and legs were a little on the burnt side of things but this guy looked crispier than the brain Flinthead lost to the fire a few seasons ago.

"You still with me?" he questioned, grimacing as he pulled more of the flaming material away to expose more of Mossyflight's broken, burnt, and bloodied remains.

A few more pieces chucked to the side, and Lionstar was able to grab the badly wounded tom and pull him out of the rubble. He couldn't imagine how painful this was.. didn't want to, as he dragged him away from the den and toward the safety of Smallpines.

When it seemed there were no more cats they could save, Lionstar collected Fawnsqueak and limped out of the camp.

After the Clan had evacuated, it seemed StarClan had had their fun. The rain began to pick up again as if on cue, drenching the clearing in water once again and smothering the flames to mere smoke. Destruction was clear-- the ThunderClan camp would no longer be safe to live in. Burnt bodies and ashes littered where the Clan once stood.

This was no longer ThunderClan's home.
