Stormflame's P.O.V:

Stormflame followed Silverstar's patrol as they ran to the Leaf-bare Hunting Grounds. He stared at the dark grey sky as lightning flashed close by, sending a deafening rumble of thunder afterwards. He felt a rain drop plop onto his nose and he frowned softly. Typical. Rain.

Hey, don't fret. Everything will be fine. Skystar's voice filled Stormflame's head and he twisted his head to the left to see Skystar's faint, sparkling outline running beside the patrol. He smiled at her and continued following Silverstar.

The clan slowed to a slow trot as they reached the battle ground. Stormflame gazed across the moorland until he spotted four figures that signalled the enemies were already there. Silverstar led the clan further into the moorland until they were close enough to the toms that they could hear eachother.

Silverstar jumped onto a rock with her head held high. Clearlight jumped up beside her and Fernpelt leapt up on her other side. The three patrols spread out behind the three patrol leaders with proud expressions. Stormflame smiled, he had never gone to battle like this with the whole clan around him. It gave him strength as he stood tall beside Waterfly and Whitetail. Silverstar had allowed the apprentices to accompany the battle patrol so Ashpaw stretched his head high on Stormflame's other side.

The flame coloured tom who was apparently named Fire yowled, "It is time for the ancient prophecy to be completed!!" He took a deep breath and screeched, "ATTACK!!"

Silverstar reared up onto her hind legs and yowled, "Lightclan ATTACK!!" She leapt off the rock and charged at the opposing cats. Her patrol followed with yowls and screeches. Clearlight and Fernpelt lead their patrols to either side. Stormflame made sure Ashpaw stayed close to him as they ran with Silverstar's patrol.

It only took a few short heartbeats for Silverstar's patrol to clash with the four cats. It was funny that a whole clan was needed to take down four elemental rogues.

Stormflame darted for Wind and attacked the huge white tom with all claws and teeth. Wind just laughed as the wounds made by Stormflame immediately self-healed. The white tom swatted Stormflame a few fox-lengths away with amazing strength. He got to his paws quickly and examined the battle going on in front of him. Cats of Lightclan were being thrown in all different directions as if they were only pesky flies. 

Stormflame saw Ashpaw attempt to attack Water with a front paw strike but the small apprentice was tossed away into a gorse bush. Stormflame gasped, "Ashpaw!" And raced for his apprentice. Luckily, Ashpaw wasn't hurt too much, only a slight limp. "Ashpaw, go to Nutwhisker and help him. This is not a battle for apprentices. I'm sorry." Stormflame ordered quickly as he watched Whitetail do the same with Cloudpaw.

Ashpaw grunted and dashed to where Nutwhisker was without any complaints. Stormflame turned back to the battle and raised his paws into the air. He shot a fireball straight for Water in revenge for hurting Ashpaw. Water dodged the fireball easily and darted away from the mass of cats trying to attack him and charged at Stormflame.

Stormflame unsheathed his claws and ran to meet Water head on. They clashed but Water's added strength from being immortal knocked Stormflame down. He scrambled to his paws just in time to dodge a sharp spike of water coming for him. Stormflame managed to send a flurry of fire darts at Water and fortunately, a couple hit the water elemental, making Water drop to the ground. It was a good thing they had opposite powers because then the damage made was twice as deadly.

Stormflame created another ball of fire and shot it at Water. The fireball hit the blue tom on his head and he dropped back down again. Stormflame went in for the kill but a strong wind blew in and knocked Stormflame away. He lay winded for a split second before rising to his paws. He saw who shot the air, it was Wind. The white tom was smirking as he attacked Whitetail.

Stormflame was so distracted by Wind that he didn't realise Water had gotten up until it was too late. A large wave of water flew at Stormflame and it was about to hit Stormflame but suddenly, a wall of roots rose from the ground and blocked the water. Stormflame cracked his closed eyes open and saw Skystar standing behind him, white fur shining and green eyes filled with determination. "Skystar! Thank you so much!"

"Don't thank me, I'm your guardian remember?" Skystar laughed and jumped to Stormflame's side. Together, they attacked Water until the blue tom retreated back to the other fighting cats.

Silverstar's P.O.V:

Silverstar heard thunder crash close by as she attacked Earth fiercely. She swiped skillfully at the tom and dodged most of his blows. But as Silverstar backed away from Earth's back kick, he made a root appear in the ground that tripped Silverstar and she crashed to the ground.

Earth laughed and towered over Silverstar. He growled, "You really thought you could beat us? This is like a typical day hunting."

Silverstar snarled and scrambled to her paws. She turned her pelt to silver and bared her teeth at Earth. "I was just getting started." She lunged for him and scored her long claws down his side. She heard a satisfying screech of pain from Earth and grinned as she watched the wound heal slower than usual. Somehow, her silver claws affected the healing element in Earth's body. She knocked the cat over and hissed, "Not used to feeling mortal are you?" She taunted.

Earth hissed, "No!" And kicked Silverstar away. She flew for a few seconds before hitting the ground hard. Well, he still has his strength. Silverstar got up quickly as her amour had protected her from most of the fall.

Silverstar saw Whitetail, Bluestorm and Mousenose attack Earth. All three were knocked away with amazing strength and Silverstar heard Mousenose cry out in pain as a loud crunch was heard. Silverstar screeched at Earth, "You'll pay for that!"

"If only that were true." Earth smirked and summoned the ground to rise up from beneath him to create a slope. "Now I'm not going easy." He yowled and sent sharp thorns at Silverstar. The amour deflected most of them but two got stuck in Silverstar's armour and they pricked her skin painfully. 

Before Silverstar could react, spikes of rock rose from the ground and shot at Silverstar. She dodged three of them but one slammed into her and the screech of rock and metal filled the clearing as Silverstar was tossed to the side. The wind was knocked out of her and when she raised her head, he saw a large dent in her silver armour. She hoped that the dent wasn't permanent because it pressed hard against her side and made it uncomfortable to move.

Silverstar got to her paws and glared at Earth who was still on the slope, grinning with amusement. She paced below the slope, unsure what to do next. Should she use her wind powers?

Earth didn't let her think any longer because he darted for her with claws unsheathed. Silverstar met him with her own silver claws outstretched. When they crashed together, Earth swung his front paw at Silverstar's head. She ducked and scooted under him to knock the brown tom over but he shoved her away from him before she could and Silverstar slid a few fox-lengths away from Earth.

From then on it was a blur of movement between the two cats. They performed impressive moves on eachother but neither of them came close enough to get a fatal blow in.

After a long while of the extreme aerobics, Silverstar broke away, panting. Earth stood still and watched her, breathing normally. Silverstar crouched beneath the immortal tom, still catching her breath. "Why.. why don't you just.." she wheezed, "Kill me now?"

Earth laughed, "Good idea!" And lunged for Silverstar's neck. He closed his jaws around it and Silverstar felt the crack of bone and her body fell limp.

Waterfly's P.O.V:

"Waterfly watch out!!"

Waterfly barely had enough time to dodge out of the way of an arrow of fire. She felt the heat of it as the arrow sped past her face and she gave a greatful look to Fernpelt who nodded back and went in to attack Fire.

A loud screech pierced the air as Fernpelt clawed at Fire but the screech didn't come from Fire. It came from Fernpelt. Waterfly stared in horror as Fernpelt dropped to the ground, limp and lifeless. A gaping hole in his side made by one of Fire's fireballs. "Fernpelt no!!" Waterfly dashed to the deputy's side as Fire turned his attention on Fluffystream.

Waterfly dragged the limp deputy further away from the battle and gently lay her paw on the edge of the hole in Fernpelt's side. At least his death came quickly; he wouldn't of realised what hit him until he reached Starclan.

The pattering pawsteps neared Waterfly and she leapt to her paws incase it was one of the elemental toms but it was only Nutwhisker. "What happened to Fernpelt?!" He stared at the deputy, a look of pure dismay on his face.

"Fire shot him with a fireball!!" Waterfly cried and flattened her ears. "Why did we bring all of the clan into this? They can't do anything to help the battle except get hurt, or worse, killed!! Silverstar was wrong to bring the whole clan!"

Nutwhisker shook his head, "Waterfly, I know it's hard but Silverstar would never deliberately put her clan in danger. This is how the battle had to be." He paused, "Go back into the fight, I'll take care of.. Fernpelt's body." He nudged her away, his eyes filled with sympathy and kindness.

Waterfly nodded and touched noses with Nutwhisker briefly, in a friendly manner, "If I die, I'll miss you most." She smiled softly and spun around to run back to the battle. Nutwhisker didn't say anything else so Waterfly took off and sped off, heading straight for Fire.

She reached Fire quickly and threw a ball of water straight at the flame coloured tom. The waterball hit him in the head and he swayed with a hiss of pain. "That's for killing Fernpelt!!" Waterfly snarled and prepared to throw another burst of water at him but she was caught off guard by Mousenose screeching.

"Silverstar's losing a life!!"

That was enough to put Waterfly off guard and Fire laughed crazily before making a net of fire fall ontop of Waterfly.

The pain was unbearable. The fire burned her pelt and skin and she writhed and wriggled to find a way out of it. Fire stood on the net, making it press harder against her. Waterfly tried to make a water barrier around her but the fire had somehow drained her powers and she began to see black dots edge her blurred vision.

Then, all the pain banished along with the fire net. Waterfly stayed completely still. What she in Starclan? The battle stilled raged around her, however, so she guessed she was still alive.

She opened her eyes to see Clearlight in jaguar form. He had made a tree grow next to Waterfly. The branches had lifted the fire net high in the air and slowly, it extinguished. Waterfly watched as Clearlight swiped wildly at Fire. His fangs ready to sink into the closest thing.

Clearlight snapped at Fire and caught the tom's head in his jaws. Good thing he was in jaguar form because he easily crunched down with his powerful jaws and Fire's skull let out a loud crunch before the tom went limp.

_____________

Clearlight's P.O.V:

Clearlight heard the crunch of bone as he crushed Fire's skull. The flame coloured tom went limp in his grip and he took a step back, letting go of Fire.

Waterfly limped to Clearlight's side. There were patches of skin where the fur had burned off from the fire net. The medicine cat leaned against Clearlight and meowed, "Is Fire.. dead?"

Clearlight nodded confidently without glancing at Fire. Because he was in jaguar form, he couldn't speak to Waterfly so he quickly scooped her up onto his broad back and felt the prick of her claws in his scruff.

"Bring me to Nutwhisker." Waterfly whispered and Clearlight set off for the medicine cat apprentice.

They barely got a few paces forwards when a wave of fire engulfed them. Clearlight roared and spun around to see Fire standing on the other side of the fire. The tom was standing shakily on his paws and his head was still slightly dented but he was actually alive.

Clearlight panicked as the circle of tall flames drew closer to them. There was no escape, the fire had surrounded them. He quickly shifted back into a cat to create more room and heard Fire's evil, twisted laugh as the fire began to burn his tail.

He heard Waterfly gasp in pain as the fire burned her tail as well. Clearlight stared aroind desperately for a way out and finally came to a conclusion. "Waterfly.. go limp."

"What?!" Waterfly screeched but Clearlight didn't answer. He had already shifted into an eagle. He flapped his wings and rose into the air. He was a bit shaky as we was not used to flying but he managed to grab hold of Waterfly's scruff and he pulled the two of them up into the air.

They rose into the air painfully slow and the fire was about to completely engulf them. Clearlight strained his muscles to the maximum to get them out of the fire and luckily, they made it out just as the fire closed below them.

Clearlight ducked his head and bent his wings slightly to swoop down to where Nutwhisker was tending to cats' wounds. He dropped Waterfly beside him and landed on the ground. He shifted back into a cat and flopped on the ground, his whole body aching.

Nutwhisker rushed to Waterfly and examined her wounds, "The burns aren't too bad, within a moon the fur should grow back." He passed some thyme to his mentor, "Eat the thyme to calm yourself."

When Clearlight caught his breath, he rose to his paws. "How do we beat these cats?" He meowed to Waterfly. He glanced quickly at the ongoing battle to see that Lightclan was clearly losing. Clearlight also spotted Bumblestrike and Mousenose carrying a limp cat on their backs.

Clearlight trotted slowly towards them, his legs still achy. He saw the cat they were carrying was Silverstar, "What happened?!" He demanded.

Bumblestrike mumbled, "Earth took two of her lives."

Waterfly had followed Clearlight and he heard her let out a loud gasp of shock from Bumblestrike's words. "She only has 5 left." She whispered so only Clearlight could hear.

"We need to beat these cats somehow..." Clearlight meowed, "Oh, have you seen Stormflame anywhere?"

Waterfly shook her head, "No... Do you think anything bad happened to him?"

"I hope not." Clearlight meowed and glanced around the battle field for the black pelt of Stormflame.

At last he saw Stormflame running away from Water through the tall grass with a white she cat. Clearlight narrowed his eyes at the she cat and gasped in horror.

"Skystar?!"

_______________

Stormflame's P.O.V:

Stormflame heard Clearlight gasp, "Skystar?!" As they approached him. He glanced at Skystar and saw her eyes shining with longing. The Starclan cat quickened her pace and touched noses with Clearlight.

Stormflame stood awkwardly behind then until he saw Silverstar lying on the ground with Bumblestrike and Mousenose sitting by her. "What happened?" Stormflame ran to Silverstar and sat beside her, worry building up inside of him. Is she dead?

"Earth took two of her lives. She is still alive though, but we are not sure if she will wake up since Starclan is cut off from us." Bumblestrike meowed softly, worry clear in his voice.

"Let me through." An anxious voice sounded from behind Stormflame. He twisted around to see Skystar trotting over to Silverstar, "I can try and bring Silverstar back."

Stormflame heard a gasp of Bumblestrike, Mousenose and Nutwhisker as Skystar sat beside them as if she weren't a Starclan spirit.

Skystar pressed her paws against Silverstar's chest and took a deep breath. She closed her eyes and dipped her head close to Silverstar's. Everything was silent for some heartbeats. Then Silverstar jerked and her eyes shot open. The silver leader shot to her paws and knocked Skystar away, "No!"

"What is it?" Stormflame meowed and carefully pushed Silverstar back into a sitting position to calm the insecure leader down.

Silverstar breathed heavily, "I-I was... in an abyss of blackness... and th-then Skystar brought be out of it." She suddenly hissed in pain and crouched down, ears flattened.

Stormflame pressed against Silverstar, "Shh.... It's ok now, you're safe." He touched her cheek lightly with his nose and then quickly pulled away, embarrassed by all of the other cats watching them.

Skystar stepped forward, "The four elementals are coming. We must finish them off. I will help you this one time but then I must return to Starclan, otherwise my spirit will wither away to nothing." Then her voice appeared in Stormflame's head, But I will stay in your head until you join the ranks Starclan yourself.

Stormflame couldn't help but think to her, That's sounds kind of creepy does it not?

Skystar smiled softly at him and rose her voice so that everyone heard her, "We need to combine all four of our powers to defeat them. Follow my instructions and we should be fine."

"What happens if we don't follow your instructions?" Clearlight asked Skystar.

"You die."

___________

Skystar's P.O.V: (SPECIAL POV!)

Skystar explained her plan to Waterfly, Clearlight, Silverstar and Stormflame. They all nodded in agreement and they rose to their paws.

Fire, Water, Earth and Wind stood quite a few fox-lengths away, watching them. The Lightclan warriors had given up attacking them; most of them were too injured to move.

"Alright..." Skystar meowed. "Let's do this." She gave everyone a nod and licked Clearlight's cheek before turning invisible. She felt the shivers run up her spine, the faint sound of sparkles and then she opened her eyes to see she was completely invisible. Ah, the perks of being a Starclan cat.

Skystar began running towards the four cats. They were looking around wildly for her as they had seen her turn invisible. She smirked and stopped right behind them. She got ready to encase each of them in a cage of vines to allow Clearlight to do his part of the plan.

With a blink of an eye, vines shot out from the ground and caged the four toms. Fire hissed in anger and already started to break free while Water and Wind screeched in fury and batted their paws at the vines. Earth tried to make his way out by gaining control of Skystar's vines but she curled her lip in a snarl and strengthened the vines.

Skystar watched as Clearlight shifted into a huge lion, his impressive mane ruffled in the breeze created by Wind. He roared and darted at Wind. He summoned a sea of poisoned thorns to fly at Wind, who was still scrabbling at the cage Skystar made. Many of the thorns hit Wind and the white furred tom fell to the ground but it was clear that his wounds were already healing rapidly. Clearlight knew this a quickened his pace. He sprinted to Wind's cage and just as he was about to break through it, Skystar made the vines dissappear from around Wind and Clearlight crashed straight onto Wind, crushing him.

A normal cat would've died immediately from the sheer weight of Clearlight but it was obvious Wind was not normal. Though he was still alive, he couldn't move. Just as Skystar had planned.

Then it was Waterfly's turn. She raced at Fire, eyes filled with concentration. Skystar knew she was reaching into Fire's mind to send him a vision that should distract him enough for Waterfly to fully contaim him.

As planned, Fire fell to his knees and clutched his head with his paws. He let out a loud yowl of pain and terror and his fur bristled. Waterfly then raised her paws and water shot at Fire. The water pierced through Fire and he fell silent.

Yes! It worked!

Skystar had had a crazy idea that if the opposites attacked eachother, they would cause more damage which meant if Waterfly delivered a fatal blow with her water to Fire, his body would be unable to heal it.

Then Stormflame rushed forwards. He shot a ball of fire at the trapped water elemental but Water dodged it with a laugh. He got closer and narrowed his eyes. Stomflame got ready to fire and Skystar meowed, "You can do it!!"

Stormflame shot a flurry of fire arrows at Water. Three of them hit the blue tom and Skystar let out a yowl of joy, "Good job Stormflame!"

Then Silverstar went to attack Earth. Hostility blazed in her eyes as she turned her pelt to silver and attacked Earth with heavy winds. She had, luckily, learned to control her wind so that it only blew in certain places so Skystar felt nothing. She couldn't say the same about Earth.

As Silverstar buffeted Earth around with her wind, Skystar turned her gaze to Clearlight. He was still in lion form and he was clawing furiously at Wind. Stormflame was trying to keep Water in check by attacking with tooth and claw. Skystar winced as Stormflame was battered away and he fell on his back. 

Skystar rushed to her paws to defend Stormflame but she felt some invisible force block her. She growled as she saw the outline of a cat in front of her, "Get out of the way!!"

"No." A very familiar voice meowed, "This is Stormflame's time to prove himself worthy of being in Lightclan. He must overcome this battle alone."

Skystar snarled at her mentor, "But Jumpingstar, he is too young to fight alone with a cat this strong!"

Jumpingstar became visible and hissed, "He must! I cannot let you interfere!!" He lashed his tail.

Skystar turned visible as well and growled at her mentor aggressively but didn't move. She knew how strong Jumpingstar was and how he was fiercely loyal to his clan. He would do anything to ensure the safety of the clan.

"Fine." Skystar frowned and stepped back. She lowered her head and turned invisible again along with Jumpingstar.

___________

Stormflame's P.O.V:

Stormflame hissed at Water as he fell on his back. From the corner of his eye he saw Skystar arguing with a long-legged brown tom but he didn't have enough time to study the new cat as Water was already chargin at Stormflame.

Water slashed his claws across Stormflame's chest and knocked him back again. "I have a proposal. Would it not be fair to not use our powers and fight like any normal cat? It would be fun."

Stormflame narrowed his eyes and spat, "Fine." He didn't waste any more time in talking and rose to his paws. He lunged for Water but the tom dodged quickly and kicked Stormflame away. His claws pierced Stormflame's skin and he hissed as blood dripped from his wound.

Water smirked and jumped at Stormflame. He twirled mid-air and hit Stormflame with a strong back kick. He turned around to face Stormflame and dug his long claws into Stormflame's cheek.

Stormflame yelped and backed away submissively as Water prepared to leap at Stormflame again. Water chuckled, "This fight won't end until you or me ends up dead." He lashed out with his front claws and caught hold of Stormflame's ear. He tugged and the ear teared. Stormflame hissed from the sting of his torn ear and tried to claw at Water's chest but the tom just laughed again and stepped out of reach.

Stormflame tried again but ended up getting a hard blow to the head. He staggered and felt his vision blur. He tried one last time to attack Water but, once again, he missed and in return he received a deep scrath on the hind leg.

"Should I put an end to your misery?" Water's lips twisted into a wider smile and he circled Stormflame.

Stormflame found it hard to stay standing. His head still throbbed from the blow and he tried to talk but his mind wouldn't cooperate. Instead he mumbled something that sound like, "Wee-wuh-duuu-aoo."

"I'll take that as a yes!" Water grinned evilly and stooped his head in for the killing bite.

But before his teeth came close to Stormflame's neck, a blinding light filled the clearing and four shrieks of pain were heard. When the light vanished, a rumble of thunder was heard and rain started falling.

Stormflame blinked his eyes open to find himself lying on his side. He got to his paws, a new strength flowed through his limps as the rain pelted him. He glanced up at the dark clouds and frowned softly. He wished the storm could just wait until the battle was over.

Suddenly, the sky brightened and the dark cloud dissappeared along with the rain! Stormflame gasped, "Did I do that?!"

He glanced around the clearing to see all four of the toms were lying, limp on the ground. Burn marks scored their bodies and the smell of burning flesh filled the air.

"Are they dead?" Stormflame meowed softly as Waterfly, Clearlight, Silverstar, Skystar and the new cat padded to his side.

The new cat spoke, "Yes. You have discovered your second power. You have control of Storms." He smiled kindly, "You see, Stormflame, you were always destined to come to Lightclan. To become a warrior and to then save them from a great danger."

"Who are you?" Stormflame meowed in confusion.

The brown tom dipped his thin head, "I am Jumpingstar. Former leader and mentor of Skystar."

Stormflame dipped his head respectfully, "It's an honor to speak with you." He meowed sheepishly.

Skystar smiled sadly at everyone, "It is time for us to return to Starclan. The barrier is open. Bring your clan back home and celebrate your victory." She turned to Silverstar, "I wish you luck, Silverstar."

Silverstar nodded with a smile at her best friend, "I've missed you. Please visit my dreams more often."

"It is not for me to choose but I will try and persuade a certain cat." She grinned up at Jumpingstar and then turned to Clearlight, "I love you always, Clearlight. I miss you so much."

Clearlight touched noses with Skystar and mumbled, "I love you too. Always."

Skystar looked at Waterfly, "I have a feeling you will be joining me soon. But for now, good luck."

Waterfly nodded, "You too."

Finally, Skystar turned to Stormflame. "Stormflame. As your guardian, I will always be by you. Never give up, for there is no such thing as an ending. Just a new beginning." She spoke her quote proudly, "Never forget that."

"I won't." Stormflame smiled. "Thank you for everything."

Jumpingstar meowed, "Come. We must leave now."

"Wait!!" A shrill voice sounded Nutwhisker pushed his way past everyone. He reached Skystar and pushed his nose into her chest, "Mother please don't leave me again!" His voice was soft and innocent like a kit's. It was different to the normal Nutwhisker that everyone knew.

"Oh, Nutwhisker. My dear, dear kit. I must go back to Starclan again but I will always be near." Skystar purred and licked Nutwhisker's head. "I am so proud of you."

Nutwhisker nodded against Skystar's chest and Stormflame saw a shining teardrop fall down the medicine cat apprentice's cheek.

Jumpingstar meowed softly, "We must leave. Skystar, come on."

Skystar stepped away from Nutwhisker and the brown tom let out a small whimper of longing as Skystar and Jumpingstar rose into the sky.

Once the two leaders were out of sight, Nutwhisker composed himself and trotted away as if nothing had happened.
