I've won, watch me set the world on FIRE [mandatory meeting!]

[Fruitloops]

"It wasn't my fault he came back! He had fled before." Looking over at Mountaindew, his tail twitched, "Imprisoning him could work, but I how do I know you won't devise some scheme with him while he remains here?" Sabrestar had every intent of keeping the two as far away as possible. Until such time as he could ensure Mountaindew's loyalty. Although he had proven himself extremely loyal before. "If he just stayed hidden and gone from this Clan I wouldn't have to attack him."

[Spotty.]

Rainbowsong dashed over to Colouredstar. "Come on, we've made our point, let's get out of here." She whispered desperately.

[CharlotteRosemary]

Mountainstar raised a nonexistent eyebrow in disregard. "Sabrestar, as far as I know this whole operation is riding on my loyalty to you. If I left, surely a lot of this would collapse under you. Now. I don't enjoy seeing you touch my brother and while as of now, I am loyal to you rather than him, I'd prefer you back off before I change my mind." His voice was icy and cold. "Drive him out then if you don't trust me. Do whatever you will but keep in mind I play an important role in your scheme.

abraham took isaac's hand

while his daughter hid and watched
she dared not breathe she was so still

just as an angel cried for the slaughter
abraham's daughter raised her voice

☢-- She wasn't sure if she had any rule to speaking up. After all, it was Coloredstar who had come and provoked the fight. Flicking her tail, she got to her still somewhat bloodied paws, and took a hesitant step forward. Her mind trying to decide whether to call Mountain "star" or "dew", she chose the latter, and kept her pale blue eyes on the trio of leaders. All of who had once been amazing friends.

☢-- But an idea popped into her mind, albeit one she would rather not happen to herself. But yet, the cogs in her head were turning, and Insomniacschild figured out a rather... interesting ploy for keeping Coloredstar here, as she slowly made her way to the camp exit. Oh no, she wasn't leaving. Just making sure he wouldn't just yet.

☢-- There is a way though... keep him here, always under some cats eyes. Always. If alone, a hidden cat. And what if there was a way to keep Coloredstar weak, without the fighting? She was silent for a moment longer, before the idea finally struck her, and a small gasp was let out of her muzzle as her ears perked and she looked at Sabrestar.

☢-- "Sabrestar, if I may, there is technically a way to keep Coloredstar here, without the worries of someone helping him." She meowed softly, not sure if anyone would hear her.

then the angel asked her what her

my father never gave me one

you better let young isaac go

[Fruitloops]

Ohoh. So NOW Mountaindew was making the demands? Sabrestar growled, "What your place Mountaindew, you are my deputy, you won't tell me what to do, or I'll send you off with him." This was getting intense, but he needed Mountaindew. Not badly, but for now he did. Just until he had finished the rest of his plan. Maybe he should just dispose of Mountaindew now. Turning to Insomniacchild, he too quirked a non-existent eyebrow, "Oh? Do tell."

[CharlotteRosemary]

Mountain snorted and rolled his eyes. "You think it ends here? You think my brother is going to let this go? You think that there aren't cats, tons of them, in this crowd that despise you? Please, Sabrestar, this isn't going to be as easy as winning one battle. You started a war and you're far from victorious. You need my help, and you know it too. If we put our heads together, two powerful cats working aside one another, we can claim SunClan almighty. Don't make rash decisions about me -- I'm more intelligent than you think."

[Pastel » inactiveish]

Watching Insomiachild pad over to the entrance, Akalzii raised a whiskery trio of transparent long hairs, otherwise known as his eyebrows. Sitting down, he sat a little ways away from her, white paws swiping over his ear as he cleaned the shredded left ear that was hardly capable of hearing.

☢-- She turned to look at her paws briefly, which she had begun to shuffle in the ground. Though looking back up at Sabrestar, she knew it was really only for him to hear the whole thing, but why not say some of it right out loud?

☢-- "W-Well I don't even know if this could work or not, but ah, if we let him go, he can always re-group. That will just be annoying if he keeps on coming back, right? It would be so much simpler to keep him here for now." She began, flicking her tail nervously.

☢-- "So we can bring him to one of the sturdier dens, or even down to the plaza! That way, it'll be easier to guard, and be more difficult to escape from. The plaza might be better for that though, since it only has the one entrance I believe? All others are too high up, from my understanding. Anyone correct me if I am wrong." She meowed, looking around the small group of cats.

☢-- "What I'm getting at, is have Coloredstar with his own little... group of Body Guards I suppose. So he can't try and escape, well, of course he can but it'd be difficult and I mean... that way the group can prevent some from seeing him unless they absolutely have to, as well as seeing as the entrances, exits, whatever are blocked off..." And then there's the other half for your ears only.... She thought after ending what she was saying. It sounded much better in her head, really, but perhaps more so when she told Sabrestar the other little tidbit.

☢-- "I-I'm sorry if that sounds stupid and all..." She meowed again, hoping her gaze showed that she still had more to say, but not here, not now.

Rainbowsong's eyes shined as she looked at Mountaindew, or star, whatever. In her mind, Sabrestar was far from leader, so she'd continue to call him Mountainstar. Colouredstar couldn't still hate his brother, who was standing up for him like this. In Colouredstar's eyes he may still be a traitor, but Colouredstar should be grateful to have a brother like him. Even if he was still loyal to Sabrestar.

[Fruitloops]

"Once again Mountaindew, you forget your place, challenge me again." However in his head, he was fearful of all this falling to dust. But Mountaindew was in no position to tell him what to do. "I won more wars before you were even born, I know what I'm doing." In this case he did, he would follow the same steps as he did last time. "I don't under-estimate your intelligence but you can't call the shots, being a deputy means advising me, have you not forgotten?" No malice entered his voice but he watched Mountaindew carefully.

[ѕ н ▲ ✝ т є я]

She sat down, watching from back and forth at the cats that seemed to be starting an arguing, well in her mind. What would this react to, two powerful, no, three, that seemed to cause tensions.

[CharlotteRosemary]

Mountain licked his lips to prevent a small chuckle escaping them. "Sabre, ol' friend of mine, I wish not to offend nor challenge you." Mewled the tom sweetly, "Surely you know that I am a ally not to take for granted. If I fought on my brother's side you would be so much weaker, and he would be so much stronger. While you are higher than me I support that power, I am the pillar on which your throne stands. Remove your strongest ally from the equation and discover where you'll find yourself. In fact, I decided i don't want to be your deputy. I want to be a co-leader. Why should I be so willing to give up my position?"

[Fruitloops]

"F*** that, you will be my deputy or you will be nothing. You are not my pillar, I have no pillars, my Clan is what holds me where I am, their loyalty to me guarantees their safety whereas all you can give them are two pro-clanners, you two are both hypocrites to yourself and weak." There was no reason for Mountaindew to be his deputy, at the time, he was only a bargaining tool to try and get Colouredstar to agree with him. Now though he was worthless, Sabrestar had his Clan. They were loyal to him. All of them were.

"Insomniacchild, I like your idea, however since we have two unloyal cats here, I suggest we keep them separate, they will require bodyguards at all times and if they come into contact with one another I want you to break them a part as soon as possible." Maximus would choose her father over these two right? It turns out these guys deputies were true anti-Clanners at heart. "Both of you, shall be confined to camp, with bodyguards on you at all times." Frowning deeply, he unsheathed his claws. "You are not my strongest ally, you never will be."

At this moment, his supporters out-weighed theirs. ScarClan and Blackheart Rogue were nearby should he require their assistance once again. The Elite was even closer. "Mountaindew you have a choice, renounce everything you just said, or join Colouredvision in a lovely little prison cell of your own." No fear was present in his voice. There was no time for fear.

--------------------------------------------

Turbocharge stood beside Insomniacchild, ready to attack when necessary. Hopefully it wouldn't come to that. But throughout his training he had proved stronger than before. His eyes trained to the one cat he recognized, Flashfire, before going back to the three leaders.

☢-- She nodded her head, that sounded decent enough. Though in her mind, as she witnessed them... technically snapping at one another, she truly did wonder what happened to that brotherly bond they had all shared. Though she knew what she had to do, in the case of her plan.

☢-- "Understood Sabrestar. I do have a few more ideas, but those would be for your ears only." She meowed, turning to look at both Turbocharge and then to Akalzii. Looks like they had the entrance to camp covered, and that means it would be a lot more difficult for any cat to escape.

☢-- Looking back to the trio before her though, she wondered how Mountainstar would react. Being kept as a prisoner within his own home, if he could still call it that, or as a Deputy, warrior, whatever to Sabrestar and still have a chance.

   Vertigo continued to watch, every muscle in his body charged. Mountaindew's interruption set the cream tabby on edge, but he could fully understand where the tom was coming from; he didn't want his brother harmed, and was firm in that. Vertigo could understand the sentiment, although still felt that Colouredstar -- Colouredvision -- was bringing it down on himself. Worse still, he was beginning to turn Mountaindew against Sabrestar, and the bitter taste it left in his mouth made Vertigo's lips curl. That's exactly what he would want.

   Unfortunately, before the cream tabby could step in and attempt to diffuse the situation, his father rebuked Mountaindew and chose to throw him out along with his brother and ex-leader. Even moreso, Vertigo felt the tension strangling him. Now what? They didn't even have Mountaindew's support, something that had once comforted the young tabby; at least, with one of the two leaders on Sabrestar's side, the Clan would be easier to reunite again. More cats would be against his father for imprisoning both of the former leaders, and it took everything in the young cream tabby not to protest. It wasn't that he disagreed with his father's return to power... no, it wasn't that at all. He felt Sabrestar was right to reclaim it. But he was equally afraid to lose his home, or to watch his father and the rest of his family lose it as well. Worse than that, at this rate, there would be no more home left to save.

   Vertigo had already chosen his side. He was still prepared to defend his father if at all necessary. But more than ever, he felt a horrible inner conflict that made his stomach churn. His eyes went to Mountaindew, and he mentally pleaded that the tom would revoke what he said. For the love of SunClan and it's innocent young, who, as things stood, might have to grow up in a world of war and conflict, he hoped that the tom would step down and accept the deputy position he had been offered. If even just for now... the Clan desperately needed that stability.
