Glowstar put a paw to her face and laughed an elegant, yet chilling laugh, the kind that rippled in waves of highs and lows, "Wow, you murdered my mate and hit my best friend, you gotta be suicidal!"
"DayClan, we fight to kill just as they would for us!" Glowstar said, running low at Foxstar instead of leaping to ensure she couldn't dodge her she body slammed her into the ground her claws fast on her shoulder to hold her down as she reached with her other paw to grasp onto her throat. Most of the time all Foxstar had to do was absolutely nothing and she'd succeed. But she was just kind of an egomaniac who always had to make herself look not just good, but superior and now she was going to have to kill everyone.
SPRINGCLAN
"AW YEAH!" Thane yelled, likely startling Peachstar, "Finally! I've been so bored, c'mere!"
Thane launched himself at Skipstep his claws right to Skipstep's throat to hold him down as his other claw attempted to strike at his face.
SUNCLAN
Autumngossamer groaned at being thrown off of Fawnheart. Despite her training she was beginning to recognize that she was still too light and could easily be flung off other cats. Her ears pressed against her head hearing Glowstar's command, whyyyyy. Whyyyy. w h y y y y y y... Okay Autumn, you're just an apprentice up against... Three quarters of clans... But you got this. I mean you got Skipstep... Who just got tackled by that massive bengal warrior. Okay you got um... Twistedecho and and Luna. Damn, I'm going to die young.
Autumngossamer turned on Windchaser, "maximum effort..." She pounced at Windchaser, her claws out wide.
"Are you okay Flyingcolors?" Luna called to her big sister, before looking startled at Glowstar's command. He mom told her she was loyal to SunClan now and she nervously glanced around wondering if one of her old clan mates were going to kill her.
RENEGADE REGIME
"I think I heard something along the lines of "Let's kill them all!" So we should probably do something," Sean suggested to Gardenia, "But I mean, you're right, you're totally the leader, just saying that Commander Mars would be pretty upset if we heard that and we're just like, let's lie in wait."
Sean licked his paw and smoothed out the top of his head as if he had to beautify himself before stepping onto the battlefield.
SUNCLAN "She has more lives. She owed me, get over it." Foxstar was prepared this time, and her fangs glinted as she watched Glowstar rush at her. The Priestess made no attempt to dodge, though her bloodied paw grasped the Senators in the moments before it reached her throat. Maybe she was suicidal. After all, she hardly cared if Glowstar killed her again, she had the lives to spare. No, she was making a point, and even if DayClan attacked, she'd demonstrated it thoroughly. She wasn't giving up what was hers without a fight, and now she had one. She twisted the lower half of her body, bringing it out from under Glowstar and sweeping her body back to knock her opponent's back legs out from under her and perhaps be lucky enough to turn the tables and pin her sister instead.
DAYCLAN Fia Cendrillon was on Autumngossamer in an instant, whooping at the prospect of a fight, her claws dragging the she-cat back from Windchaser with savage glee. "Forgetting about someone?" The young Bright Brigade warrior questioned, a demented sort of cheer to her tone as she whispered into the Janus ear.
Eternallaughter too, wasted no time in leaping for the nearest cat, which just so happened to be Twistedecho, that carved smile giving the tom a terrifying appearance as his claws hooked towards her face. He wasn't nearly at his best, not by far, but he'd been in worse shape before, and he was determined to save his clanmates. He had the extra life to spare, and he'd give it for their freedom without a second thought.
Gardenia turned a sharp glare at Sean in response to his sarcasm, but despite her distaste for his tone, the Sentinel had a point. They had wasted too much time already.
"Fine," she conceded, taking a few cautious steps forward and sniffing the air. "Larkwing, stay close to us. I'd rather not start a squabble with Nightclan because something happened to you. And stay on your guard everyone; it appears that Winterclan has gotten a similar idea." The Mercenary Superior couldn't see them, but the scent of Winterclan warriors nearby was unmistakable. The she-cat could only hope that they would be intervening for Dayclan and Springclan as well.
She bounded forward towards the yelling, knowing that her patrol would be following on her heels. "We need to hurry. I don't want any other clan prisoners to die today."

DAYCLAN
Flyingcolors looked at her sister and nodded, worried for her well-being. "I know you took on the role of Sunclan initiate for your safety but right now you need to make a decision. You either fight for Sunclan or Dayclan. If you don't, your loyalty will be question either way." He gaze on the apprentice was tense, one a deep green jade and the other a speckled blue. This was their chance and it had gone so far as fighting, it was time for them to rise up and earn their freedom with two clans against one. "From this day forward you will need to be known as Luna or Eclipsepaw. You cannot have a paw in two clans." She glanced around for Vixenpaw and spotted her not too far away "Stay close to me." She told the apprentice, making sure the deaf cat could read her lips. They had no herbs to help their clanmates but Flyingcolors could still fight to defend them if they dared go after any of the medicine cats or her apprentice.
Fadingisht may now be an emissary, but he trained long enough to be a warrior to defend himself and the others and he stood by the kits, queens, elders, and other emissaries, a growl building in the brown tabby's throat. No one would touch them without going through the blind tom and he was a fierce opponent for not being a warrior. After all, Glowstar had started teaching him how to fight as a kit.
Lupusmoon yowled as cats started biting, scratching, and tussling in the dirt. "I'm going to enjooy shredding the pelts of traitors." The former immortal council member growled, leaping at Autumngossamer first. He could stand her the least of all the traitors because she clearly was not doing it for survival, but rather for her own glory. RENEGADE REGIME
Elsie peered curiously at the deputy whose eyes lingered for just a few moments too long before turning away and dipping her head respectfully to Gardenia. Before long, she heard a screech and many sounds following it. Had battle broken out in the prisoner camp? "That doesn't sound good." She whispered to her companions, following the Mercenary Superior's heels closely.
Foxstar's claws skimmed Glowstar's throat as she managed to jerk away and noticed what her attempt to pin her down and smiled. She let herself fall, the moment her back hit the ground her back leg kicked up straight into Foxstar's solar plexus. A signature move of hers that Rake had taught her. It was a massive cluster of nerves located in the pit of the stomach. It was such a core muscle that the pain alone could kick the air out of someone or more distinctly, it had a massive funny bone affect that made it difficult for a moment to feel any muscles closest to the stomach. She threw Foxstar to the side licking her paw and placing it over her neck where Foxstar had managed to scratch her, "Hey, don't be mad about me bringing this up. But I feel like we've had some really massive tension lately." Her gaze studied Foxstar awaiting her next attack, "And I'm thinking maybe like in a quarter of a moon we should talk to someone about it and try to rebuild our relationship."
SUNCLAN
"N-N-N-N-N-N-N-NO! I don't want to fight you!" She practically screamed.
Fia Cendrillion had swore she would kill her and she never didn't believe it. She just never believed the apprentice at the time would murder her in public, but now here they were in a public place with the perfect opportunity to do just that. She'd rather be killed by literally anyone, but her. Autumngossamer found herself tackled down next by Lupusmoon. She could die to him, that would be okay. But like Foxstar, she wasn't about to give up without a fight. Her claws slashed into the side of Lupusmoon's face as her front leg hit the side of his flank in an attempt to unbalance him.
Luna stared up at her sister with big eyes and nuzzled her, "I can't leave SunClan, I'm not allowed to. But I wouldn't attack a medicine cat, I'll fight a warrior," She promised before running off over to Lupusmoon, a cat she respected, but didn't know enough to feel as bad as she would fighting Illuminatedpaw or Windchaser and pounced on top of him to defend Autumngossamer, "Leave her alone!" she said and attempted to bite his ear, she knew she was double teaming on him, but she also knew SunClan at the moment was a little outnumbered and anything helped.
RENEGADE REGIME "Your anger is like a ghost," Sean commented, following after Gardenia with a roll of his eyes.
She was just like her mom, no sense of humor, at least not to him. Sean ran up ahead and spotted the cats in camp, he turned to Gardenia to see if they would dive in or if they were going to go off in some kind of group formation. But what really confused him was figuring out who was SunClan. These cats had been in SunClan for moons, they had SunClan scent now so there was no distinguishing these cats by any sort of smell. Nor did they really attend gatherings enough to be able to recognize anyone.

DAYCLAN (EDITED)
Lupusmoon growled at the she-cat. He would make crowfood out of this young traitor no matter if she had Dayclan blood and he yowled as Autumngossamer slashed the side of his face. He dug his claws into the hard earth to balance himself and he turned and grabbed her front legs in his jaws, biting down hard with his powerful jaws. It would take a lot more than that to defeat the older cat. One of his hind legs swooped behind her as he tried to take out her back legs. He would be at a great advantage if he got her on the floor. He let go of her front leg as Luna bit his ear and knocked his head back into the young she-cat. Another traitor. He hissed at her. "You have betrayed Dayclan." He hissed at the cat once known to him as Eclipsepaw.
Flyingcolors looked sadly on at her sister as she left her to attack Lupusmoon. She understood her sister was torn and knew what she was doing but looked away, unable to watch her attack a Dayclan warrior and bounded over to Fawnheart who was crouched next to Burningstar. "Come, let's get out of the way of the warriors and see how we can help. He is in the hands of Starclan now." She told the medicine cat, licking her ears softly.
(Faith, Windchaser is with the RR, ready to break into the camp! ^~^ So shes not there yet but when she comes in, you can fight with her!)
Nightclan:
Larkwing nodded to Gardenia then he heard the screeching. "We have to do something!" He panicked, ready to just fling himself into the camp and sink his claws into the nearest cat but he waited for a plan.
Springclan:
Fawnheart looked up at Flyingcolors with sorrowful amber eyes. The other she-cat was right. There wasn't anything she could do for the Nightclan leader at the moment. She slowly moved away from Burningstar and followed Flyingcolors out of the way of the battle. "I don't have any of my herbs or wraps" she mewed, trying to stay calm in the middle of chaos.
Dayclan:
Windchaser paced outside the prisoner camp anxiously. She was tempted to race in there and join in on the battle. "We need a plan."
SUNCLAN The painted Priestess' breath hissed through her teeth as she was thrown, pain radiating through the lower portion of her body for a moment. Pushing herself to her paws, she eyed Glowstar for a moment before stalking closer, though she didn't attack immediately. "Probably a good idea. Though we might give the poor cat a heart attack." Indeed, with this whole imprisonment thing, everything had been strained between them. Foxstar couldn't treat her like a normal SunClan cat when DayClan was captured, and Glowstar couldn't pretend everything was alright with her sister when her own clan was kept isolated and brainwashed before her eyes. Now, the Priestess didn't exactly think talking would do much, but at this point, it probably couldn't hurt. She wasn't exactly sure she got a choice in the matter either. The likelihood that Glowstar simply showed up one day with some random cat, and told her they were going to talk out their problems, was pretty high in her mind.
For now though, she had the matter of keeping DayClan and SpringClan under her control to think about, and she wasn't just going to throw the fight, either, though her goal wasn't to kill Glowstar. She wanted to subdue her, knock her out, or something of the sort, anything that would give DayClan pause. As such, the Priestess lunged forward, tackling Glowstar in a hug, back legs curling up this time to block another attempt at the same move and allowing her to throw her full weight into the move, though it would do no damage to the other leader. Hopefully, it would put her in a better position to pin the DayClan she-cat, however.
DAYCLAN Fia Cendrillon laughed loudly at Autumngossamer her ember eyes burning bright with the light of battle. She was as free as the wind, and as dangerous as a roaring fire, adrenaline rushing through her veins that lent strength to her paws. "Too bad. It's just you and me now. Don't die too quickly, I want to enjoy this." With Lupusmoon now distracted, the she-cat's claws were a whirlwind, striking harshly and without rhyme or reason at any and all flesh she could reach. She didn't care how long it took, or if she hit non-vital points, she just wanted to cause as much pain, and draw as much blood as possible. She wanted to watch as the Janus weakened and died slowly before her very eyes, otherwise this wouldn't be half as fun.
SunClan Skipstep yowled when Thane got on him and tried toforce him to the ground. Snarling he twisted rolling onto his back, and immediately lashing out with a kick to Thanes belly trying to throw him off.
NightClan Squirrelleap looked down at Burningstar, growling under his breath, his leader hadnt revived yet. "Can we move her?" He asked Fawnheart as the medicine cat moved away. He didnt want to leave his leader out in the open even if she was currently not with them as she went through the process of StarClan sending her back.
WinterClan "Can we go attack,now?" The big ginger she cat asked hearing the screeches and shouts.
SpringClan Softpelt went over to Vixenpaw, "Come this way, you dont want to be in the middle of this," The fluffy white she cat told the young dayclan medicine cat apprentice. Resting her tail on Vixenpaw's back as she quickly guided her away.
"Not yet," Gardenia hissed under her breath at Larkwing and Windchaser, the latter of whom she greeted with a swift bow of her head. It felt odd, commanding clan cats like this, especially since one of them was a Deputy, her equal in rank. Nevertheless they all were looking to her for orders; she wasn't about to let them all run head-first into a bloodbath. The Mercenary Superior had noticed the exact same problem as Sean, it was nearly impossible to tell which cat was from which clan. If they attacked blindly, their rescue attempt might be mistaken by Dayclan and Springclan as an act of aggression, and there weren't enough of them here to fight off three clans at once.
Then she spotted it: the hint of dark-ginger with a fluffy fox-like tail...lunging for Glowstar.
"Listen up," she commanded, turning her head to make sure all eyes were on her. "On my signal, spread out and go straight for Foxstar. Ignore everyone else in the camp unless they actively try to stop you. If she's down, this entire prison goes down with her. Understood?"

DAYCLAN Flyingcolors looked back at Squirrelleap. The warrior was right, they couldn't just Burningstar there laying in the middle of the dirt. "We'll take care of him. Please, help my clan." She asked the Nightclan warrior gently. After all, they would need to be able to get their cats out of here safely and would only be able to do that if they were successful or Burningstar could be in even more danger along with the others. "Will you help me lift him?" She asked Fawnheart. Normally, she would not move a cat with wounds as deep as his but Starclan was healing them so it was safe for the time being. RENEGADE REGIME "Yes, Gardenia." Elsie acknowledge her superior, looking around the battling cats until her eyes focused on Foxstar and her claws slid out of their sheaths. She had been working on new moves for this moment and was ready for Gardenia's signal to attack. Already, adrenaline was surging through her paws and giving her the power she needed.
Glowstar tried her best to keep track of where Foxstar's paws were aiming. She observed that her back legs were already positioned to ensure she couldn't use her back legs to hurt her, but it was all she could observe before her back hit the ground hard. Glowstar gave an annoyed expression as she wiggled her left paw that was pinned under Foxstar's paw. Her right paw remained free, but besides that she was trapped. Her muscles were already sore from the major workout of carrying Deal. Like a kit she used her one free paw and leaned Foxstar's face away, "You suck."
Glowstar gave a look of understanding. That Foxstar was never going to let them go until she made it very clear that they weren't ever going to be released and when or if they were she'd make it seem generous. For a moment she wondered if Foxstar was going to murder her, she could get caught up in a moment after all, but she didn't look crazed so probably not.
SUNCLAN
A look of guilt spread through Luna's eyes, but her sister had been right, if she chose SunClan she had to fight with them even if it was against them. Suddenly she felt the absence of Autumngossamer and realized it was just her and Lupusmoon now, "My mom chose for me and I trust her judgement," Luna said, hurling her claws into his face as Autumn had and followed her move by attempting to move underneath Lupusmoon to rake his belly.
Autumngossamer screamed in agony as Luspusmoon bit down onto her, it was a harder bite than she ever experienced in her life. She looked back with a smile to see Luna defend her, but the smile immediately broke as she watched a flash of darkness swipe claws into her skin. Her eyes teared up as she lifted a paw to strike back, but she was hit four more times before she could even hit. Fia Cendrillion had always been a prodigy among DayClan and she had always shined nowhere close to her. She gritted her teeth and managed to dig her claws into Fia Cendrillions shoulder with a grunt of pain at the strikes. Holding Fia Cendrillion's shoulder she jabbed her chest, but at this point she could feel her own warm blood trickling down her as she let out a soft whimper realizing her attack wasn't enough and would never be enough to stop her. Her heart lurched in realization at what was happening, they were outnumbered, Glowstar gave orders to kill and Fia Cendrillion was going to kill her, "HELP!" she cried.
SPRINGCLAN
He was beaten as an apprentice the proper way to know never to wince no matter how bad the pain. Trained every morning and night relentlessly and was covered in frost bite and sun burn time and again suffering from the strength he built up over the years and it was all too amusing to witness this tom fight back. As if he had a chance against an ex proxy like himself or a league cat no less. His eyes widened as he realized Skipstep was trying to shove his massive body to the ground. A ghost of amusement spread across his face. Without wincing he pulled Skipstep out by the scruff from under his belly. He could feel the blood pouring from underneath, but stood poised as if Skipstep was some troublesome kit. Biting down hard on Skipstep's scruff he then let go of him. His massive brown paw shoving the tom onto his back, his paw planted on his chest, "How would you like to die? I hope you've given it some thought."
RENEGADE REGIME
"Understood," Sean promised as his eyes stared straight ahead on the target. She better not take Glowstar's life because who was going to be the one to have to bring her back to life? HIM. Everyone would guilt him to do it and he honestly didn't care enough about his sister to do that.
Larkwing felt mouse-brained expecting Gardenia to take control over the situation but he didn't have a patrol of his own to take charge of and he wasn't about to command her patrol around as if it were his own. "I think that is a good idea, Gardenia. We should do it your way."
Dayclan
Windchaser nodded in agreement. "That sounds good to me! But I'm a Dayclan cat so I know who I need to go after" she added, flexing her claws in anticipation.
Springclan
Fawnheart nodded to Flyingcolors. "Its okay to lift her. Just do it gently, okay? We don't know how far along she is to coming back. We don't want to kill her again by making the wrong move. I will hold up her front end because I know the position her neck should be in to keep it from reopening. You can take the back but be gentle still" She instructed as she began gently lifting Burningstar's front.
SUNCLAN Foxstar smiled ever so slightly, though she held Glowstar firm. "I know. Now, can I let you go and we'll all call off our warriors, or do we need to have a repeat of the tunnel incident?" It would be rather annoying if they had to kill each other again, just to get DayClan and SpringClan back in line. No, it would be much easier if the she-cat would just stop the prisoners herself, and they discussed the freedom of the two clans later. The Priestess wasn't insane. SunClan couldn't keep this up alone, they'd starve without the help of NightClan and BrookClan, it was just a matter of not making herself look bad by doing so. Shouldn't take more than a half moon, if the two clans behaved, that is.
DAYCLAN "Your Sun God can't save you now." Fia taunted, laughing darkly even as claws scored her chest and shoulder. Comparatively to what she suffered as a child, this was nothing, Autumngossamer was nothing. This was just a bit of fun, it wasn't a challenge. As her opponent screamed for aid, the smoke and ash feline knocked her paws out from under the SunClan she-cat with one paw, the other perching her claws against the Janus' throat once she landed, challenging her move and slice her own throat open.

[ Luna or any other cat has my permission to seriously injure and blind Lupusmoon, I was planning for him to go blind in battle and this is a good opportunity for that. He was born blind in a previous life. ]
DAYCLAN He let out a yowl of pain as she went for his face as well and blood dripped slowly into his eyes. He was much bigger than this apprentice and he had seen her training enough times to know what she knew. "So this is what Dayclan gets from their apprentices, cats who cannot even make decisions for themselves." He growled, grabbing her by the scruff and tossing her almost as if she were a kitten to avoid her scratching at his belly. His paws swiped across her claws furiously and he did not falter. She was no longer his clanmate in his eyes.
Flyingcolors nodded ot the other medicine cat and carefuly picked Burningstar up, looking around to make sure no cats were in their path or would stop them. The last thing they needed was to send him back into Starclan. She nodded at Vixenpaw and Swiftpelt suggested she go with her. For now, she would trust the Nightclan warrior to protect her apprentice. She would do a better job than Flyingcolors could for certain.
SUNCLAN Lochflare was returning to camp with prey when he heard the screeching of cats in battle at the prisoner camp. He darted inside to find Springclan, Dayclan, and Sunclan in furious battle with one another. Seeing a Dayclan warrior over Autumngossamer he screeched and left at her, landing solidly on the she-cat's shoulders and using his hind legs to claw furiously at her pelt. Autumngossamer was once a Dayclan cat but had proven her loyalty and even become his Janus. He would defend her as equally as he would any other member of Sunclan. "Let go of her!" He hissed furiously but the tom was still young and small as he had become a warrior when most were becoming apprentices.
RENEGADE REGIME Elsie looked on as the fight continued and more Sunclan cats were joining the fray. What was Gardenia waiting for? They needed to intervene quickly or Dayclan and Springclan would lose this battle quickly with their obviously weakened and dwindling number of cats. Her silver and black tail flicked through the air with a control irritation.
Peachstar was about to yowl out to Thane to stop attacking Skipstep when he faltered, gaze hardening. Seeing the SunClan tom trapped under Thane suddenly reminded him of Lilywhisper's death at the paws of the NightClan warriors, back when they'd first been captured. Skipstep wasn't a NightClan warrior, and in theory he'd had nothing much to do with his Clanmate's death, the first SpringClan fatality under his own leadership. But he was from SunClan, and weren't SunClan complicit in NightClan's crimes?
"This isn't the right thing to do, Thane," he murmured, though his uncertainty was beginning to show more and more.
Squirrelleap made sure the medicine cats had Burningstar well in paw then he yowled. "Fernshadow, Bleakpaw, Stealthclaw! Stop sitting there and help!" He yowled before he launched himself at Lochflare. "I think those two need some alone time to settle some personal matters." The tabby tom ground out as he shoved Lochflare aside.
Bleakpaw spotted Softpelt guiding Vixenpaw away and then he saw the medicine cats, deciding to go protect the starclan worshipping healers he headed in that direction, as they were carrying the still limp form of Burningstar to safety. He prayed the NightClan leader would awaken soon, they needed her.
Stealthclaw launched herself alongside Fernshadow at a SunClan cat.
SunClan
Jetclaw had gone out wondering why her brother was taking so long to bring the fresh kill he was supposed to bring to Littlebird. He always brought her prey at sunhigh. So she headed out and her ears pricked detecting the sound of screeches and yowling and she growled darting into the prisoners camp, she saw a massive cat holding her brother down. Blue eyes widening she snarled and rushed towards them.
Skipstep grunted looking up at Thane, then he saw Jetclaw darting towards him and he looked at Thane with a grin, "It's not going to be my death today." He thrust his paws once more harder into Thane's chest with all the strength he had. Whether it'd actually shove Thane off or simply unbalance the tom, all he needed was Thane just higher. And then Jetclaw came barreling in, forepaws thrust forwards to shove the big tom off her brother.
DayClan
Illuminatedpaw nodded, "So do I, but we need to hurry, I think they might be in trouble." He said anxiously as more and more screeching and yowling sounded from the camp.
Fawnheart helped Flyincolors carry Burningstar to the edge of the prison camp, out of the way of the battling cats. "I wish I had all of my herbs" she mewed, setting the Nightclan leader down gently.
Dayclan
Windchaser paced back and forth, waiting for the signal to join in on the battle.
Nightclan
Larkwing looked at Elsie, he could see how impatient she was becoming. "I want to intervene too. But Gardenia is right. We can't run into battle like that."
Gardenia could tell the cats in her group were becoming anxious, but she kept her honey gaze locked on the fight in front of her. She stayed perfectly still, tail raised slightly, waiting stiffly to give them the signal. It hurt to see all of these cats getting injured, but she had a responsibility to the cats with her moreso; they needed an opening, a clear shot straight to Foxstar.
Come on, come on, she silently begged in her mind, gritting her teeth. Blind Protector...I just need one chance!
