Callous Luck

Note: I do not own Warrior Cats! This is simply a fanfic idea I came up with using Warrior Cats.

Blurb: Puddlepaw stares at the crimson lacing his paws. His tail sways with the fur ruffling winds as he inspects his claws in silence. Blood drips down onto Icyhorizon’s cheek. A grin peaks on Puddlepaw’s maw.

“IcebergClan… will do best without you, mentor. I wish you well into NightClan.”

The solid gray furred tom turns away, his mind focusing on one thing and one thing alone, Earthleaf. Puddlepaw purrs at the thought of his mate, well, soon to be. The moment he got his full medicine cat name that is.

He stops, scenting two… Earthleaf! Puddlepaw’s heart pounds at the thought of the brown and blue-gray she-cat. He bounds towards her scent with round eyes. However, his excitement is cut short as he smells Compass, otherwise known as Icyhorizon’s son. It seems like his luck had run out, but no matter, Puddlepaw would force it to bend to his will.

Crouching low, his gaze steadies onto the threat.

“Earthleaf…?” Compass shuffles, his meow low. He bares his fangs as Compass glances around.

“Huh? Oh! Uh- What is it?” Earthleaf meows back, watching the sky with great interest. One day she’ll look at me like that! His heart flutters at the thought.

“... Nevermind. Anyways-”

Puddlepaw watches as Sprucepaw, Earthleaf’s younger sister, flies out of the brush and at Compass. Aided by Frostpaw, Chirppaw, and Foxfin who leaped out of the undergrowth soon after. Compass, acting on reflex, lashed out at Sprucepaw, his right paw striking her eye, his left slashing the edge of her neck. This causes her to shriek and stumble back. Earthleaf and the others stare in horror as Sprucepaw hits the ground with a thud.

“SPRUCEPAW!”

It’s my time to shine. While yes, Sprucepaw’s misfortune was horrible, he could use it to his advantage to rile them up further. They already feel enraged and horrified by Compass’s actions, now if he adds in “new news”… who knows what they could do.

He dashes out of the grasses, a caterwaul forced to come out his maw. “Icyhorizon was-” Puddlepaw skids to a halt, faking a long pant. Blood stains his paws. “Icyhorizon was killed by him! His own son!” He shrieks loudly. Compass stares at him in horror and confusion. Foxfin’s face deadpans before a cruel glare cuts across it.

She tackles Compass, screeching. Her words… shock Puddlepaw.

“HOW COULD MY OWN SON KILL HIS FATHER?”

Tears weld at the edges of her eyes. Everyone stares in bewilderment. Compass’s eye light in terror, trying desperately to wriggle from his mother’s grasp. “I- I-... didn’t!” He squeaks out pathetically, an odd sense that he was lying spreads through the cats. Foxfin’s gaze narrows. The air around them had become as frigid as the arctic northern waters.

She snarls. Foxfin raises her paw high above Compass. “You never were meant to live… but he sacrificed everything for it. Only for you…” Puddlepaw notices her paws had begun shaking. The words seem to dry in her mouth as scarlet covers the ground.

I am luck itself, it seems.

Plot: Puddlepaw is the medicine cat apprentice of IcebergClan and he’s good at his duties, however, he wishes to raise a family. Due to the belief that if a medicine cat has a mate and kits, they will be forced to give up their soul, he tries getting rid of that dream. He soon finds this impossible as he falls for Earthpaw.

At first, things between them are innocent and happy, however, as he begins falling further, love turns into obsession. Puddlepaw plots a way to get rid of the three main cats pushing this message, those being, Icyhorizon (his mentor and IcebergClan’s medicine cat), Glacierstar (IcebergClan’s leader), and Orcatail (IcebergeClan’s deputy).

He gets close with his mentor and learns that Icyhorizon had a kit with a she-cat in IcebergClan, however, at the same time, a famine had begun, cats believed it was Icyhorizon’s fault and his kit’s. Thus, he “killed” Blizzardkit. In truth, he gave Blizzardkit away to a kittypet named Sweetie and he was renamed to Compass. Oddly, Puddlepaw notes nobody seems to know or even remember Icyhorizon had a kit.

Puddlepaw doesn’t investigate as he has higher priorities. At night in the Arctic Seas, he trains with Smokewave. There is another cat that trains with them, that being Sprucekit, Earthpaw’s younger sister. Though she can’t do too much, she shows promise.

Soon, he’s at the end of both his medicine cat training and his training with Smokewave. Sprucepaw still trains with Smokewave, however, Smokewave never lets Sprucepaw meet Puddlepaw.

He kills Icyhorizon when they are gathering herbs together and he removes the fur from his claws. Puddlepaw races away, only to head towards Earthleaf and Compass who are talking. Soon after he arrives, Sprucepaw, two other apprentices, and Foxfin attack Compass. Compass, on accident, blinds Sprucepaw. Seeing his opportunity to strike due to the tension and rage, Puddlepaw races out and tells them that Icyhorizon is dead and Compass killed him.

It comes out Foxfin is Compass’s mother then she kills Compass to get vengeance for his father. Everyone is shocked, especially Earthleaf. Puddlepaw comforts her and learns that he was a good friend of hers.

Puddlepaw is given his ceremony at the Icestone, the NightClan cats seem to hold no memory of his actions and his mentor greets him sorrowfully. Oddly, Icyhorizon says that he “never wished for Puddlepaw to see his own son kill him”? He knows for a fact Compass did not kill him… No matter, he’s given his medicine cat name, Puddlefreeze, after Ivyhorizon who he spent all his time with.

Up next were Glacierstar and Ocratail. In that time, he had gained aid from Foxfin and her family, Salmonriver (her father), Crowspots (her mother), Nagoonfang (her sister), and Reindeerstomp (her brother) through saying they wanted to kill IcebergClan. Together, they murder Glacierstar and Ocratail.

Puddlefreeze tells everyone that rogues killed Glacierstar and Ocratail and under his breath, said that Glacierstar and Ocratail only wanted to kill rogues. Everyone, including the ones who murdered them, mourned them greatly despite their former wild hatred.

He appoints Foxfin as leader. She in turn makes Blazetalon the deputy. Now, nothing stands between him and Earthleaf being together. Or so it seemed. Lynxkit seemed to have something akin to him… that being the “ability” to lie and have it held as truth. Only he noticed Lynxkit’s lies were in fact lies. Puddlefreeze makes Lynxkit his apprentice, his mind now focusing on his newfound lust for power. Of course, he did try going after Earthleaf’s affections but no longer were they of interest to him.

He questions Smokewave on the matter. The tom avoids the question, however, leads him to someone who “could” answer his questions. That being? Arcticstar, the first ever leader of IcebergClan. Puddlefreeze learns the truth…

Arcticstar was a necromancer, or as she called herself, a deathtaker. StarClan was furious at Arcticstar’s actions of rebinding dead cats to their living bodies. Out of this rage, they exiled her into the freezing arctics, where she got her name. However, she rebelled and killed all SeaClan cats with her revived, subservient army. Arcticstar, who was Skyflash at the time, renamed herself to her current name.

These cats bended to the will of her, always believing what she said on a whim. It carried down for generations, always avoiding the cats who she spared from this fate and she gave them the power of bending others to their will. Those used to include Icyhorizon and Glacierstar. However, when Puddlefreeze came into the picture, that changed.

See, all of IcebergClan had ties with those Arcticstar once had revived but… Puddlefreeze was descended from not only a rogue, but from Arcticstar herself. Thus, he trumped that and all cats bent to his will instead. She even freed Lynxpaw from this and gave him the “gift,” but not even he could escape Puddlefreeze’s abilities.

Arcticstar tells Puddlefreeze that she doesn’t care what he does to IcebergClan nor what he does to the inhabitants of NightClan, just that he takes into account what he can do.

Puddlefreeze finds that now, more than ever, he has something far more interesting on his paws, more so than his love for Earthleaf. Now that he knows he doesn’t have to move a fur for her affection, he can focus his sights elsewhere. But where will that “elsewhere” take him? Well, he’ll have to see when he gets there.

Starbrought

Note: I do not own Warrior Cats! This is simply a fanfic base/idea I came up with using Warrior Cats.

Blurb (Gore Warning): Cracklekit stares in horror as the rotting starry cat creeps towards her. Its right eye bulges outward like a plump maggot leaving its meal and its left eye sucks inward, blood creeping around the bug-like eye. She drops to the ground, completely terrified of the creature that now began running towards her.

“I am Lionthunder. Do you trust my name?”

The solid black she-kit flinches. She scrambles her mind together to answer her possible savior. “Yes! Now please, help me!” Cracklekit begs as the thing races closer and closer.

“As you wish.”

Suddenly, power fills her veins and she leaps to stand. Her jaw opens reflexively and a booming, thunderous roar cries out from her. It shrieks with horror, tripping itself up. When the thing hit the ground, all that was left was starry dust with bits of crimson on it. Cracklekit’s eyes widen in both amazement and terror.

“You were right to trust in my name, Thunder’s Roar.”

Plot: Cracklekit, Shadedkit, Draftkit, Puddlekit, and Silverkit are all born into the newly established NookClan. However, while this clan was meant as an escape from the terrors that have struck the five clans, they only got sucked up in it.

Chips and shards of the Moonstone are scattered around NookClan territory for seemingly no reason. This throws all of NookClan into a panic, well, almost all of NookClan, as five kits are paralyzed with fear every night.

They see former StarClan warriors turned to starry, but gorey zombified cats attacking the Moonstone mercilessly. Cats that are scratched or bitten by them… become one of them. It’s a horrible mess there.

One day, the five kits are attacked by these creatures. Five StarClan cats come into their minds and offer them the chance to be saved if they trusted their name.

Cracklekit is given the ability to roar as loud as thunder from Lionthunder, Shadedkit is given the ability to merge with shadows and be completely hidden from sight from Shivershadow, Draftkit is given the ability to become the fastest living thing from Wildwind, Puddlekit is given the ability to control water from Fieryriver, and Silverkit is given the ability to create and use mirage cats from Breakingsky.

Now with their powers, they are set up to become StarClan’s “greatest” heroes and are mentored by the ones who gifted them their powers. But the five kits are starting to crack under the pressure and it worsens as they become apprentices. Not only do they have to train at night, but in the day as well.

Will this ultimately end with the supposed heroes going down a villainous path or will they pull through in the end?

Characters: Cracklekit/Cracklepaw/Thunder’s Roar, Shadedkit/Shadedpaw/Hidden Shadow, Draftkit/Draftpaw/Lightspeed Wind, Puddlekit/Puddlepaw/River’s Controller, Silverkit/Silverpaw/Sky’s Bringer, Lionthunder, Shivershadow, Wildwind, Fieryriver, Breakingsky

Powers: Thunderous Roar- Allows the cat to roar as loud as thunder/a lion. This roar forces all living cats to “back down” (crouch low, ears to their heads, tail in between their legs) and all of the zombified StarClan cats to fade away whenever they hear the roar. When used, this causes a temporary loss in the ability to speak (it lasts for three hours).

Shadowy Hider- Allows the cat to merge into shadows and be completely hidden from sight. When used, this forces the user to feel isolated and completely alone.

Wind’s Speed- Allows the cat to reach speeds between 300-330 mph making them faster than anything living. When used, this causes temporary loss in the ability to move their lower body (it lasts for 3-4 hours depending on the speed).

River Spiral- Allows the cat to use hydrokinesis at will when near a body of water. When used, this causes the user to completely lose function of their body as they must fully focus on manipulating the water.

Sky’s Controller- Allows the cat to control and create mirage cats at will but the variety of the cats (heights, sizes, muscle mass, age) are all dependent on what the cat can create with their mind. When used, the cat must be able to without their mental strength or else all of the cats they create will disappear.
