(This story is dedicated to all my friends in the RP who have helped me and have given me a reason to want to RP even more! Dawnflower101, Starlingstar, Animeangel45, Is_karl_dusachtach, TehEpicMew, SundaySmoothie and CatAteMyHomework! Go check out the RP and them! They're awesome people!)

(Just for your information guys, the italics mean the cat is talking to themselves, or if in a sentence with the italics by itself, it means the cat is saying that to make it stand out like this; "I'm not the mouse-brain, you're the mouse-brain." And the bold means they're sorta like narrating, but not in the actual thing, just added it to give the story a good effect, and finally, the underline is for the characters who are newly introduced and have not been seen yet. Also, I will always put a quote or something related to the main story. Whether it it's from later on or from the RP that we're doing now)

"Watch out!" Yowls of fear rose from the forest as screeches sounded. Heavy paw steps trampled the earth as a huge roar made the trees shake as if they were being thrown into a heavy storm. Suddenly, battle cries could be heard as the screeching cats turned into fighting cats, snarling in fury as some hissed and some growled. A clearing could be seen as bushes surrounded a hollow that carried the battling cats, wind roared through the trees as the trees parted way when a black tom stood face-to-face with a Four-Tailed beast. The beast was a dark red color as its face was a dark, menacing black, only its pure white eyes shown in the darkness of its face as its jagged teeth grew open more and more. The black tom facing this beast had five elemental shards around his stomach, each with their own symbol and color as his icy blue eyes stared into the empty white sockets of the beast. Its head then shot upwards as a roar rumbled in its throat, echoing through the forest and sending the trees nearest to it flying as the earth fell and soon, a crater formed beneath the creature. The black tom flinched back and tried to hold his position as he grinned. "Yes!" He meowed as he watched the beast roar. The Four-Tailed beast then faced him as it disappeared for a moment before reappearing behind the black tom. He didn't even know and as the Four-Tailed beast stretched its claw backwards to strike him, an evil smirk was wiped on its face as it smiled rather insanely. But the moment it struck the black tom, the vision flashed away and everything became clear. It was a dream from a few moons back.

As the sun's light filtered in from the top of the den, a dark figure could be seen rising from its nest. The figure then trotted out of the nest and soon, was bathed in the light of the dawn. A ginger-red she-cat stood at the entrance of the den, her distinctive black marking around her eyes and up to her inner ears was unmistakable, along with her fake whisker marks across her cheeks. Although those were distinctive, nothing was more recognizable than the sky blue eyes that reflected the stars she held. She lifted her head as she stretched her stiff limbs, letting out a yawn as her pure white fangs showed, her claws were too the same pure white color as she unsheathed them while she stretched. After stretching, she lifted her head as her gaze flowed across the camp, the dawn's bright light hitting her ginger-red pelt as it turned to a blazing fire color. I'm Nine-Tailspaw. I'm an apprentice of ElementClan, a Clan full of cats who hold much power within their hearts, all of their powers and elements are unique, different from the rest. Nine-Tailspaw was then greeted with two cats, one was a light gray tabby she-cat with big, bright blue eyes that reflected the sky, and the second one was another light gray tabby but a tom with a white muzzle, feet and tail and somewhat the same bright blue eyes. The two seemed identical if compared side-by-side but the only thing that different the two was that the tom had white markings. Nine-Tailspaw greeted the two with a smile. This is Skypaw, the she-cat, and the tom is Moonpaw. They're my best of friends and I hope it can stay that way. Nine-Tailspaw was then thrown over by Moonpaw as the two giggled and laughed, Skypaw wagged her tail in the air and soon, joined in as the three apprentice wrestled in the dust. The three apprentices soon relaxed after their wrestle as they sat beside each other. "So, what have you been up to, Nine-Tailspaw?" Moonpaw asked as Skypaw stretched. Nine-Tailspaw gazed at him before switching her gaze to the milky orange sky. "Nothing much really, just training with Falconstrike. What about you two?" Nine-Tailspaw said as Skypaw instantly jumped as if she were waiting for her to ask. "My mentor is creepy, she's quite scary too!" Skypaw whispered as Nine-Tailspaw glanced at the entrance where Skypaw's mentor stood, she was guarding camp and her dark pelt made her almost invisible. HiddenAmbition is one of the best warriors in ElementClan, although some cats doubt her loyalty and her decisions, if it were up to skill, HiddenAmbition would be the perfect cat. Her powers are very unique from any other cat's, she's able to predict the future and she can even read a cat's mind but they have to be in earshot in order for that to happen so thank StarClan that we're far enough from her! She can even feel other cat's pain! She is an amazing warrior but her mentorship of Skypaw is quite weird and odd. Nine-Tailspaw returned her blue gaze to Skypaw. "She seems fine to me." She said to her as Moonpaw chuckled. "Maybe she'll have your pelt as bedding and maybe she'll even eat you for her dinner!" Moonpaw joked as he smirked, his sister then let out a growl before pouncing on her brother. "Shut you muzzle!" Skypaw said as the two started wrestling once more. Nine-Tailspaw smiled and giggled, she then turned her gaze to the tom at the base of the large rock. That's Winterstar, he's the leader of our Clan, ElementClan. He didn't become leader not too long ago, he was the great deputy to previous leader Blazingstar. Nine-Tailspaw gazed down at her paws. He became leader rather earlier since ElementClan was attacked by some DeadClan cats who captured me. One of the warriors was even a former ElementClan warrior, Gingerfang. He's the brother to my mentor, Falconstrike. Gingerfang turned on his Clanmates after he saw that they were weak and soon, went to the other Clan, DeadClan. Gingerfang's powers are like my mentor's, he can make cat's go insane, show a cat's true fears and all that. Gingerfang made Blazingstar lose her memory, and she couldn't recover. Winterstar told me that Blazingstar tried a few times to remember but it only resulted in her hurting herself as Gingerfang's powers always wiped out the memories. Winterstar and Dazedbird, our medicine cat, decided that to end her suffering. My mentor was reluctant to end Blazingstar's life, but Dazedbird made him understand that it was the only way. Nine-Tailspaw shuffled her paws, remembering when Winterstar first told her, sadness poured into her heart as her blue eyes were filled with sorrow and grief. Though Falconstrike gave Dazedbird a scar that's still there now, she forgives him and understands why he'd be angry. Blazingstar was a Clan leader who saw potential in every cat and who would rather settle things with words than with tooth and claw. This type of leader was rare and Falconstrike almost seemed to look up to her. Dazedbird gave Blazingstar some deadly nightshade to end her suffering quickly, knowing it was the best thing to do, better than letting her live a life she doesn't even want. She only had about four lives left so it went by fast, Winterfrost then became Winterstar. Nine-Tailspaw pricked her ears, noticing that she didn't hear the sound of wrestling. She turned around and didn't see Skypaw or Moonpaw. "Nine-Tailspaw!" A voice made her snap back to reality as she gazed over. Her mentor, Falconstrike stood in the center of camp, he was calling her over as she glanced around, noticing that Skypaw and Moonpaw were talking to Blackcold, Moonpaw's mentor. "What is it, Falconstrike?" She asked, padding over quickly to the golden tom. We may live among the warrior code and among our Clans, but there are always going to be lurking shadows nearby. I should know the best about that since I'm his target. She then remembered the dream she had and her focus was disturbed. That incident happened just about four moons back.

Nine-Tailskit lashed her fox tail, her blue eyes bright with excitement. "Hey, you!" A new voice made her lift her head as she was playing with her mother's tail while she slept. "You! What's your name?" The cat asked as it sounded like a squeak. "Oh, um, I'm Nine-Tailskit. Who are you?" Nine-Tailskit asked, not knowing who was calling her. "I'm Skykit. But anyway, do you want to do something awesome?" Skykit said as she came into view, her light gray tabby pelt stood out from the rest of the dark den of the nursery. "Sure!" Nine-Tailskit mewed as Skykit gestured for the ginger-red she-kit to follow as they slipped out the back of the nursery. "Do you want to go and teach that Meltedfigure a lesson?" Skykit said, Nine-Tailskit jerked her head back in surprise as her blue eyes glittered. "Sure!" She mewed excitedly as Skykit quickly rushed over. "Shhh!" She hissed as she put her paw to the other kit's mouth to hush her. Nine-Tailskit giggled as she nodded. "Come on!" She mewed before leading the way out of camp and soon, they reached the border. "This is the border between ElementClan and DeadClan." Nine-Tailskit said, her eyes wide with excitement and surprise. "Hurry!" Skykit rushed on forward towards the land where the trees were withered and had no leaves. Nine-Tailskit rushed after Skykit and soon, the two were in pace together as they neared the DeadClan camp. Nine-Tailskit and Skykit then arrived in the DeadClan camp, they saw fighting cats in the clearing and soon, Nine-Tailskit spotted a black tom standing up top a tall rock. She gazed around the fighting cats and soon, she spotted one of her apprentice friends, Bonepaw, facing off with a very dark brown tabby tom. Skykit then gasped as she saw some ElementClan cats get hurt, she hurried off towards them and leaving Nine-Tailskit as the ginger-red she-kit then scrambled off towards Bonepaw. "Bonepaw!" Nine-Tailskit let out a squeal as the black-and-white tom glanced back at her. Nine-Tailskit was about to crash into him when she saw a gray tabby tom with a white underside and dark blue eyes leap at the dark brown tabby in front of Bonepaw. Bonepaw whipped around and gasped as he saw the tom sink his long fangs into the dark brown tabby's throat, blood gushed out as Bonepaw let out a yowl of fury. "Fox-heart!" He yowled as he barreled into the long-toothed tom before grabbed the dark brown tabby tom's scruff and hauling him towards the medicine cat's den. Nine-Tailskit was confused and as she gazed around at the cats, she spotted the black tom among the battling cats, he shape shifted into a lion and soon, she saw Lightningstrike within his jaws. She let out a yowl before she slipped among the cats and leaped at the tom, clawing at his back as she struggled to stay on. Then she heard a crack and she was thrown off. She hit the ground hard and the wind was knocked from her. She coughed as she lifted her gaze and saw the tom standing in front of her, glowering down at her. "So, you're the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki." He said as Nine-Tailskit tilted her head. "Go away! Leave ElementClan alone!" She spat as the black tom let out a snort. "Quite the brave one, aren't you. Just like someone I know." He spat as he glared down at her. Nine-Tailskit grit her teeth as she let out a snarl. He then lifted his claw and swung it down at her as she was thrown to the side, letting out a hiss of fury and pain. "Meltedfigure!" A screech of fury made Nine-Tailskit snap her head up as she saw the distinctive red fur and instantly recognized the fox tail and the three cream spots below her eye. It was her mother, Redfur. "Redfur!" Nine-Tailskit cried out as she felt something warm trickle down the side of her face, she put her paw to it before she saw what it was, her pelt prickled up in fear, blood stained her paw as more dripped down the side of her head. She grit her teeth before she lifted her head to Meltedfigure and Redfur, only to see that Redfur clung to his face. She smiled and cheered for her, only being a kit, she didn't know what to do. Her mother clawed at Meltedfigure's face as he let out a roar, still being a lion, he swung his head around wildly to try and fling the queen off. But to no luck as that worsened it, Redfur used his swinging power and dug deeper into his flesh as she clawed at the side of his face. Nine-Tailskit was then knocked over by two fighting warriors who tumbled away, she struggled to her paws and hoped her mother had taken down Meltedfigure, only to see the complete opposite. She stood there, frozen to the ground as Meltedfigure held Redfur within his jaws, her blue eyes were widened in fear as she started to shake. Meltedfigure then bit down harder as Redfur let out yowls of agony, blood flowed down from where the tom was biting down, and soon, a loud crack made Nine-Tailskit flinch so badly, she fell back and as Meltedfigure threw Redfur's body to her, she trembled and her fur stood on end. Her eyes lost their bright glint as they were dark with fear as she gazed down at her mother. Redfur's eyes too, lost their brightness but instead, they were completely dull and weak as Nine-Tailskit trembled over, she sat at her mother's body, feeling empty and dread inside as she stared at her mother's lifeless body. She hoped her flank would rise up but nothing happened, not even a twitch except for the wind stirring her now blood-covered pelt. Nine-Tailskit was about to start wailing in grief when, she felt something snap within her, she felt anger and hatred swell over her body and her mind as she lowered her head to the point where no cat could see her face clearly. Meltedfigure was about to turn away to continue with the battling when he turned back and noticed something different about the kit. Meltedfigure's eyes changed as he gazed at her chakra flow, knowing only she and Redfur had chakra. He let out a gasp, he saw the chakra and noticed that instead of being the regular blue he saw every time, it was a bright orange-red color and it blazed throughout the kit's body, it soon blazed bigger until in engulfed her entire body. Meltedfigure then saw the orange chakra mist swirl to where the seal was placed, on her chest. The black tom flinched when he saw it form into part of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's face, it's eye glaring at him in hatred as he flinched back and lost his concentration. He saw the orange chakra swirl around the kit as nearby cats backed off. As Nine-Tailskit lifted her head, Meltedfigure let out a gasp of fear as he scrambled to his paws, the ginger-red kit's gaze had changed from a determined, confident, and brave look in her blue eyes, to bright red eyes full of hatred and fury. Her whisker marks flared up as he fur bristled, her claws grew sharper and longer as well as her teeth. A transparent, bubbling red cloak formed around her as she clenched down on her teeth, she first let out a growl before she let out a roar of hatred. The roar surprised Meltedfigure as he flinched back, the wind had pushed nearby cats away and the dead trees and dens. Cats turned their attention to her as they stopped their fighting. Most DeadClan cats backed off, sensing her strong power as she arched her back. Nine-Tailskit growled as a black orb formed around her after a strong wave of wind knocked the cats off of their paws, causing the earth below her to fall a little, creating a small crater around her. The black smoke around her was like a barrier as the dark red chakra flowed upwards into the sky like a pillar of light would and went above the clouds. The ElementClan cats in DeadClan's camp, Skykit, Dawnflower, Fallenpaw, Bonepaw and Primroseheart, all stared at Nine-Tailskit in confusion and surprise.

As the smoke cleared from Nine-Tailskit, cats gazed at her in horror as Meltedfigure flinched. Nine-Tailskit was completely different, she was now a dark red creature with large ears and a black face with empty white eyes, her jagged teeth opened as she growled and four tails whipped behind her as she crouched on the ground. "This is the power of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox!" Meltedfigure exclaimed as he gazed at Nine-Tailskit with interest in his icy blue eyes. But with this, Nine-Tailskit let out a huge roar and cats near her were sent flying as the ground parted away again as she glared at Meltedfigure before disappearing for a second before reappearing in front of the black tom and slashing him with her claw, sending him flying towards his rock as it shattered once he hit it. Nine-Tailskit smirked as her jagged teeth shown more. Suddenly, a loud yowl sounded and a cat leaped from the shadows. "Nine-Tailskit! You're not a monster!" It was Bonepaw as he leaped up and landed on the she-kit, but with him touching her skin, his paws or whatever made contact with Nine-Tailskit's skin burned like poisonous fire. Dawnflower had leaped at her too as she landed on Nine-Tailskit as well. The now-black faced, white eyed, red Nine-Tailskit let out another roar before whipping her tails and smacking Bonepaw off along with Dawnflower, luckily, they regained their balance as they watched in horror. Nine-Tailskit had no interest in the others, only in Meltedfigure as she leaped at him once more and landed up top of him before slashing at him wildly. His yowls seemed to echo throughout the forest as he suffered, blood splattered against the ground, the rocks, the three, then grass, everything as Meltedfigure was being attacked. But as Meltedfigure was just about to give in, a flash of white fur threw Nine-Tailskit off of Meltedfigure. And there, between Nine-Tailskit and Meltedfigure, floated a white she-cat, the elemental shards whirled around her stomach and her green eyes reflected the life she had to care for. It was ElementClan's leader and founder, Elementstar. She gazed at the taken-over Nine-Tailskit as she had a look of sadness across her face. The cats watched her as she approached Nine-Tailskit, restraining her down with her gravity powers and as the beast struggled to even get up, Elementstar turned to her cats. "It is my time to join my ancestors." She said as Dawnflower gasped along with Skykit, Fallenpaw and Primroseheart as Bonepaw stepped forward. "No! You can't go Elementstar!" Bonepaw begged as tears started welling up in his blue eyes. Elementstar merely shook her head as her brilliant green eyes showed understanding and sadness. "I was destined to give my life for both Clans, and I will." She said as she gazed at her cats. "Tell Blazingflames she is the new leader, and tell her to please take care of my Clan along with Nine-Tailskit. She's lost her mother and she will need time to process her mother's death. Same goes for you, Bonepaw, you had just lost your father, so I hope you can understand how she feels. Take care of her and your Clanmates." Elementstar said as she gazed down at Skykit. Those three will be important in the future... She said in her head as she foretold the future and saw what was to come between three cats. Bonepaw let out a cry to her as Elementstar turned away and faced Nine-Tailskit who let out an angry roar. Elementstar's face turned serious as she then gazed into the kit's white eyes and saw Nine-Tailskit being imprisoned within her mind. Elementstar then closed her eyes for a few moments before opening them back up and they glowed white as well. Elementstar then went forward and placed her paw onto Nine-Tailskit's chest where the seal was and soon, her pelt grew transparent as the cloak was torn off of Nine-Tailskit's fur and swirled into her chest. Nine-Tailskit let out a yowl of agony as the red cloak tearing off of her pelt was like her pelt being taken off while she was conscious and well awake. As the cloak finally disappeared into her chest, Elementstar gazed down at the ginger-red she-kit, her pelt grew thinner with each passing second as she smiled before disappearing fully. Only the elemental shards remained of her as they slowly fell to the ground and rested there as if they were too, mourning their dead leader. Nine-Tailskit lay on the ground limp, her breathing was heavy and thick as she had blacked out the moment she went enraged. Bonepaw and the other ElementClan cats rushed over as they gazed at where Elementstar was and Nine-Tailskit who seemed to be burning up. Everything was silent except for Bonepaw and Skykit calling out the injured kit's name. And as they did, shuffling and a snarl made them whip to see Meltedfigure who trembled as he stood to his paws. Fallenpaw flinched as blood stained his dark black pelt, new scars and scratches were splattered across his pelt as his icy blue gaze was sharp and dark, full of hatred and pain. "You're lucky t-that I c-can't come down there a-and k-kill you all." Meltedfigure struggled to speak as he trembled in both fear and pain as blood trickled down his face where three large scars covered. Bonepaw stood over Nine-Tailskit protectively as Meltedfigure simply lashed his tail. "I'll l-let you out this time. G-go back and prepare yourselves, c-cause I will have her p-power and I will rule over both Clans." The black tom spat as the ElementClan cats glanced at one another before Dawnflower nodded and led the way back, grabbing Lightningstrike's body with Primroseheart getting Redfur's while Bonepaw carried Nine-Tailskit, Skykit at his side as she worried for Nine-Tailskit. Though they had just met, Skykit felt as if they were supposed to be friends, and as if if they didn't, great problems would result in so. As the ElementClan cats left the DeadClan camp and soon, territory, Meltedfigure glared after them as he collapsed, panting in exhaustion as the DeadClan cats rushed to his side.

Nine-Tailspaw rested beside Skypaw and Moonpaw. It's been four moons since then, and I've only gotten enraged when I was emotional or when my life was in danger. That's what I believe, and I've gotten mad just once in the four moons that's passed. Just before I became an apprentice, back when Blazingstar was still leader, I went out of control as I saw Gingerfang attack and kill Falconstrike who, coincidentally, became my mentor. He had attacked Soulstripe and Bonefur in the territory, along with me since I managed to stumble upon them. Gingerfang then fled and came back to camp here to tell the Clan that I, Soulstripe and Bonefur attacked him out of the blue. But luckily, I had earned my Clan's respect and they loved me as much as I loved them. Nine-Tailspaw closed her eyes for a moment before reopening them up and gazing across camp, she smiled lightly as she enjoyed the bright color that filtered through from the trees that blocked most of the sunlight. It was a good thing though, especially during green-leaf. So Skypaw and Moonpaw told Gingerfang that I would never attack another Clanmate. That was when everything went wrong. Gingerfang grew furious that his plan didn't work and attack his own brother Falconstrike, I had to sit there and watch the entire time as I couldn't do anything. He had strong, deadly powers, he could show a cat's greatest fears and I saw mine, distracting me from Falconstrike who then ended up in Gingerfang's jaws. When Gingerfang crunched down and killed his brother, I couldn't bare seeing one of my Clanmates be killed by one of our own, and I knew that Falconstrike was a great, noble cat, and with that, I went enraged. Nine-Tailspaw pawed at a leaf that had fallen beside her nose as Skypaw and Moonpaw slept, it was sundown and the day had been filled with training with Falconstrike and her two denmates. Luckily, I had calmed myself as Falconstrike was revived by our medicine cat at the time, Glowingmoon. And to my surprise, I had apparently proved that I was worthy of becoming an apprentice as I had suppressed the Nine-Tailed Fox, or the Kyuubi, on my own. And from that moment on, I vowed to train with the Nine-Tailed Fox rather than ignore it and push it aside as a burden. Nine-Tailspaw soon found herself drowsy as she closed her blue eyes which had turned into a beautiful sunset orange from the falling sun. She then drifted off into sleep as she slept beside her two first and best friends. She smiled and let out a purr before finally drifting to a deep slumber...

-"We must rise or the Clans will fall. So let's not be a burden and instead, use it to our advantage and prove them wrong!"-
