The night sky brought a chilled breeze to the forest, A warm welcome from the burning, basking sun of most new-leaf. The moon cast a violet shadow down across the land landing soley on a small group of figures that crept through the wooded area. This group held four felines, Felines that were known all to well through-out the forest.
In the head stood a cute small kit that charged forth with excitement about returning home; but first and foremost of returning to ShadowClan territory to see those whom he had come to know with a special hint of happiness at the chance of seeing MoonPaw again; This kit was Mauler.
Behind Mauler stood a bright orange coated Tom that was known through the lands as a Paladin of the feline species. He was a gorgeous determined looking cat yet his face seemed plagued with worry and he was obviously upset. This Tom was Sparta.
Behind the two loners stood a strange pair; One cat that was unknown to this familiar part of the forest; unknown to all the clan cats. Though the one beside him was a all to familiar cat; he was known to all the clans as a hero and a menace. The oldest cat in the forest; and the deputy of ShadowClan, This cat was SilentStripe.
SilentStripe hissed to the head of the group; Blood spurtting from his tongue. "Silence Mauler! Unless you wish to be ravaged by the rest of the forest!"
The kit mewed lightly and lowered his voice; Sparta giving him a re-assuring nudge of love. The group was advancing on the ShadowClan Camp and were soon to arrive.
As they reached the camp entrance they stood ready and waiting. SilentStripe lowered his head; He felt a strange sensation in the pit of his gut. He had left his clan without even a notice to CrowStar; though it was for a good reason. The feline nodded and moved forward the remaining three cats following him through the camp entrance. Once inside the camp SilentStripe wasted no time, he ran forward and leapt up onto the smooth boulder speaking loud and clear.
"Cats of ShadowClan, I SilentStripe have returned. And I have brought the solution to our problems with the cats from the dead plains, Bring me CrowStar and I must introduce you all formally to our new found ally. ShadowClan meetVlek'Tu Father of Sparta...".
The silence of the camp would be interrupted as Vlek'Tu's true form was shown. This cat a massive beast none the less; Stronger than even SilentStripe himself. The deputy had kept his word that he would never fail the clan and he had brought them a down right Evil hero...

Vlek'Tu padded in silence beside the old tom, Silentstripe. Why was he wasting his time here? Surely that he didn't come solely to win over his son's affections. No, he was in this strange land to please these annoying cats. Once these dead plains cats were rid of, he would go back to the home he knew and loved. The home he thrived in.
The massive cat came stayed close to the shadows while Silentstripe announced his return. He slowly emerged, just as the deputy announced his name.
Vlek'Tu glared at the Clan cats, challenging any of them to doubt him. But, if they did so, their fate would surely be sealed by this aggressive tom.

Snowkit padded out of the nursery. She barely remembered Silentstripe, Sparta and Mauler, but that big scary cat in the middle... He was terrifying. She looked behind where Silenstripe stood, and saw her fatheer padding out of his den.
"Err, where have you been Silentstripe? Got bees in yer brain again?" The leader purred, seeing Vlek'tu. "Well, if he's of Sparta's blood, he should be a strong fighter." Crowstar said, yawning gently. Snowkit stared at the cats, her two eyes unblinking. She was rather scared, but that Mauler kit was quite cute.

Skysong was in a bit of a daze when she walked out of the warrior's den. She blearily blinked, stretched, and yawned. Her eyes cleared up and she saw the enormous warrior by Silentstripe. She nearly had a heart attack. It scared the living Starclan out of her!
"Er, yes. I second Crowstar. Where in StarClan have you been??!"

Clawear padded out of the nursery, mainly just to bring Snowkit back in, but she something more. Silentstripe. She sprinted to stand next to Crowstar and get a better look at things, grabbing Snowkit and placing her next to herself as well. She recognized Sparta and Mauler, but didn't recognize the massive cat.
"Silentstripe..." Clawear said, trying to fight back tears.

SilentStripe allowed his gaze to fall across the land; observing the warriors of his clan. Moving his gaze to CrowStar he spoke; "Perhaps, but more importantly I brought us a cure CrowStar. This is Vlek'Tu as you know... This is Sparta's father. I brought him here so that with your permission he may join ShadowClan, not forever just until the threat of the dead plains has gone."
The sleek black coated tom then turned to see snowkit and then ClawEar; His defiled tongue was dangling from his mouth and blood dripped slowly to the earth. It had been many, many moons since he last had herbs to stop the blood flow and it was now a gruesome site. Seeing ClawEars emotions run wild the bulk tom felt his chest clinch. If it wasn't for ClawEar herself, SilentStripe probably wouldn't be alive here an now. Though he was in front of his clan, show no weakness he thought as he turned away from the she-cat and looked down to Skysong. The deputy spoke to them next.
"Where I have been... Where I have been is a place no clan cat should ever go. But as I have said, if CrowStar allows it... Vlek'Tu will join our ranks and help us fight against the cats that so evilly attacked our clan, killed our warriors. Tell me you all do remember FoxClaw right!? Can we simply let their death be in vein!? I promised this clan I wouldn't let them down nor would I ever fail them. That is a promise I intend to keep!"
Sparta purred lightly in the back of the pack, he had no emotion for his father yet even he knew that Vlek'Tu could help ShadowClan beyond any other cats wishes. This was the only reason he agreed to travel with SilentStripe was so that he himself would not fall victim if the rouges were to strike again. The orange tom then moved forward and leapt onto the boulder; surely moving past his father and sitting on the side of Vlek'Tu. He spoke loudly to the clan cats so that all may hear.
"I agree with SilentStripe; Vlek'Tu is indeed a strong warrior and every cat in ShadowClan knows that they have the help of Mauler and I only a few steps away. But I must warn you before you take in this cat... He is heartless."
SilentStripe scowled to Sparta and then spoke out.
" Indeed his heart may be made of stone yet you cannot deny the light that shines upon it to the point of him even considering to help our doomed clan Sparta!"
With this Sparta nodded; Mauler down below had taken into the kit that was staring at him and the young one had begun to purr lightly lashing his tail back in forth ignoring the elder cats.
SilentStripe and Sparta stood there on the boulder beside Vlek'Tu awaiting CrowStars approval or denial. Whichever it would be, ShadowClan still had a fight to win.

Moonfang padded out of the medicine cat den and listened to the cats speak before raising her own voice.
"Crowstar, if I may be so bold as to say that it shouldn't matter where Silentstripe went. We trusted him enough to become deputy, and we can trust his word on his actions. I agree, this tom, Vlek'Tu, is it? He seems strong, even strong enough maybe, to help us rid ourselves, and the forest, of those cats." she finished, and she cast her eyes to the sky. "StarClan, you haven't told me of this cat," she murmured, much too low for anyone else to hear. "Please, if he stays, let it be the right decision..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Foxheart had been sitting beside the warriors' den, not saying anything. But she remembered Foxclaw well... they had been friends. Kits together. And she was out hunting when she was killed.
The she-cat ducked her head. She had just begun to forgive herself for not coming back when her Clan was in need. But now... the guilt and embarrassment were as strong as they were in the beginning, when she came to camp and found it ruined and blood-stained.

[ooc- I think foxheart is a bit of a strange warrior name. In clan speak it means cold hearted  ]
Crowstar looked between the cats, and took a deep breath, and whispered into Silentstripe's ear. "You better be right." Crowstar then turned to the group of gathering cats, and coughed, clearing his throat. "Cats of Shadowclan, as you know, Mauler and Sparta helped us drive out the Dead Plains cats, and I would trust them with my very life... If Silentstripe is right, and this... Vlek'tu is a strong cat, he will be an asset to our clan until he is able to be seen off." Crowstar said. "I know I stopped Hunter joining the clan, but he carried the scent of death and disease and I could not risk the lives of our kits." Crowstar said, looknig at his kit staring longingly at Mauler. He chuckled to himself, before turning to Moonfang. "Check all four for disease, treat Silentstripe's tongue as usual, and take care of any unjuries they have sustained." Crowstar said, fluffing up his fur gently.

Moonfang dipped her head and looked over to the four toms. Silentstripe would need herbs for his tongue, but otherwise she didn't know what any of them would need. They could have a sickness she didn't even have a cure for!
Moonfang, stop trying to scare yourself, she thought, shaking her head. The she-cat turned and padded back into her den, flicking her tail for the four to follow her. You'll do everything in your power to heal anything wrong with them, and the rest will be up to StarClan. They should be fine anyway; they're all strong enough to battle infection, surely...?
(( Lol, I know. But I wanted to reincarnate Foxclaw in a way. Even though they're nothing alike. I don't know, lol. It just sounded cool together. ^^;;
Thread being made in the Medicine Cat Den for Mauler, Sparta, Silentstripe, and Vlek'Tu. ))

Vlek'Tu bowed his head to the leader, Crowstar. There would be no need to escort him out of the territory, for he would leave after these cats were rid of. They didn't seem to terrible to the tom, but everything seemed to be messed up in this forest. Cats gathered in large groups together and seemed to help each other. It was despicable, in Vlek'Tu's mind.
The massive dark orange tom slowly followed the one-eyed cat into her den, still a bit uneasy. They better not give me one of those profin names..

Silentstripe nodded slowly to CrowStar and chuckled beneath his breath. "Have I ever been wrong? The dark tom then leapt down from the high rock; moving to the medicine cats den. Sparta & mauler following close behind.
(ooc: Sorry for short post but having a mind mess right now)
