Did Tigerstar really die?
Was it Tigerstar that Scourge killed? Or someone else?
Is Tigerstar still alive?
The huge dark tabby looked around at his amassed followers. The where all rouges with one thing in common- A desperate need for power. The huge tabby turned his gaze to the lake below. The moon was reflected in the dark still waters. The territory that surrounded the lake was quiet and all the lithe shapes that had bounded about the very same day where asleep in their nests.
Tigerstar thought back to the day he had been "killed." He had watched from the trees as Scourge slaughtered what was supposed to be him.
It wasn't him.
Tigerstar recalled how he had told his son Thornheart to take his place. He wanted to see how loyal BloodClan really was. And he saw.
Tigerstar watched the battle between BloodClan and the forest clans a few nights later. He watched Scourge die and he watched Firestar win. Later he watched ThunderClan thrive under Firestar's leadership. He watched Firestar leave and return from his great journey to help SkyClan. He watched his own children, Brambleclaw and Tawnypelt leave on the greatest journey they would ever experience.
Yet he didn't attack. He stayed. Waiting, watching and planning. He felt the fury build inside him as he watched what should be his clans live on without him. Then he watched them leave. He saw his clan cross the mountains and unknown territory. He watched the settle and adjust to their new home. He watched his sons, Hawkfrost and Brambleclaw grow closer and closer. He also saw Brambleclaw's betrayal to him and his brother as he killed Hawkfrost and saved Firestar. Tigerstar was infuriated.
Yet he didn't attack. Not yet. It was not time. He watched ThunderClan struggle with problem after problem. Yet he stayed. He gathered strong cats about him. He tried to convince Brambleclaw's kits to join him. But no. He was in this fight alone. And now was the time to attack. To take his revenge.
"The time has come." The news spread through Tigerstar's horde like wildfire. Leaping and bounding the swift forms burst across the stream and into RiverClan's camp. The defeat was quick and easy. Leapordstar gasped when she saw the huge tabby leap at her.
"No! Your dead!"
But he was not. And he was going to take his revenge.
After he had dealt with RiverClan Tigerstar lead his cats to ShadowClan. They had two choices. Join or die. Simple. Tigerstar burst into camp. He immediately subdued Blackstar and added all of ShaodwClan to his horde. All except four.
Tawnypelt ran with her four newly apprenticed kits. They ran to ThunderClan and told their news. All the cats where reluctant to believe that their greatest enemy was back.
"No! He's dead! We saw him!"
Urgent mews filled the camp as queens ushered their kits back to the nursery. Firestar was having an extremely hard time believing Tawnypelt but when dozens of enemy cats burst into the camp led by his greatest enemy Firestar had no trouble believing. ThuderClan managed to drive Tigerstar and his followers from the camp but they where heavily outnumbered. Some apprentices had already sprinted toward WindClan territory to get help. The battle raged on even as WindClan, led by Onestar surged into the writhing pile of cats.
StarClan stared down from they sky. They where horrified, yet the could do nothing. They to had thought Tigerstar to be dead but they had been mistaken. Another ice blue pair of eyes watched also. Hawkfrost smiled. Finally his dream was coming true.
The battle was lost. Firestar knew this. The air was filled with battle cries and the last gasping breathes of valiant warriors- and the not so valiant. He had to find and kill Tigerstar. He finally saw the huge shape grappling with Onestar on top of a small hill. Lightning split the sky and thunder rumbled. Huge drops of rain fell like the tears of StarClan as Firestar sprinted over to his oldest enemy. He arrived just in time to see Tigerstar rake his claws down Onestar's side and leave him bleeding his life away. Firestar yowled and launched himself at Tigerstar.
"You will die! You should have stayed dead when Scourge killed you! This is our land!"
Tigerstar's maniac like laugh split the air but was drowned out by another smash of thunder. "Haha! I will never die! I am Tigerstar! I will rule even StarClan when I'm done!"
There is no breath left for words as the two cats slash and claw with all the strength contained in their bodies. Both lost nearly all their lives. Finally Firestar fell to the ground the last life leaving his tired body. He had failed. "Tigerstar gasped and smiled. His pelt was so bloody it was hard to tell the color.
"You have failed Firestar! I will rule all the clans!"
Suddenly Tigerstar's voice was cut off as a dark form leaped onto his back and sank it's teeth into his neck. Tigerstar fell and stared up at his killer.
"Brambleclaw! Your traitor!"
The battle finally ended with the clans driving the rouge from their territory. They where to weak to survive thought and they soon died. Only a few younger kits where left. They traveled and a few died but finally they made it to new territory. They tried to convince other cats to joint the clans and eventually they succeeded. Many moons later the clans still need names and leaders.
