"You!" Is cried to DawnStripe, "Stay," he grunts or gasps - there isn't much difference at this point. "Put!" Because his hard work would go to waste and MistyPelt is right there! She's fine! She could run faster! "Safe with me. Keep you safe." Is choked between dodging and panting.
His chest aches and complains with every breath he takes, every sound he makes. He blinks against it - greatful (for once) for his past that had taught him to fight through the pain, to ignore it (though it's been moons since that knowledge and practice had needed to be used.) Usually blue eyes are slate gray with his anger and fear. How dare this animal (the badger) attack what is HIS??
That long tail of his coils around his ankle so it can't be caught so easily; in the past he would have made sure the others were clear from the fight before making his escape. But DawnStripe, the medicine cat, can't move fast. Can't climb a tree. So he stays and engages the enemy to buy his clanmates just a little more time. So what if he dies? He doesn't have a mate or kits, he has no friends. The clan wouldn't mourn him.
Lips and whiskers twitch at the acknowledgment of the truth: he doesn't have to like it, but it is the truth. Claws slash down his neck when he bites the entirety of the badgers' nose. Because maybe if he cuts off its air supply it'll die. Maybe it won't but he has to try. FallenRains tries to breathe through his nose, feeling dizzy with pain and bloodloss and exhaustion and low oxygen. His eyes see the gouges on the badgers beady eyes, wonders if this will be enough as he presses his own claws into those injuries.
Suddenly he is tossed aside and the creature scurries away from him, headed towards WindClan. Was he enough of a threat?? The warrior coughs, getting back to his paws from where he'd landed against a large oak and following after his adversary. He has to make sure it leaves. Has to make sure his clan and clanmates are safe.
His side burns, and his breathing is rapid and shallow. Blood drips from his injuries as he trails the badger. He'd die before he let's it hurt anyone else he cares about. Briefly the blue eyed cat sees that his fighting has paid off, tracking the monochrome animal is too easy with all ITS blood staining the ground in large puddles and rivers. He hisses again at it when it turns his head in his direction, and hopping/ lurching forward his claws encourage the beast to leave. It swipes long claws across his face, snaps its jaws at his face before with a grunting cry it hurries away. He follows until it makes the border... And leave it does, passing the border it had stopped at, it's blood muddling the markers. And FallenRains breathes a sigh of relief. Someone else would have to deal with that problem.. he's so tired.
The he-cat who is covered with mud and blood turns for home after its' form is gone from his disrupted vision and its scent is faint. Hes aching and slow, but at least they're safe. His clan is safe. They're all safe. Steps are unsteady and his pace is a crawl - but they are all alive. His chest burns, but the warrior holds his head high before shaking the blood from his vision and continuing to walk back towards camp.
He's about halfway back when he gets dizzy. Halfway and a few more steps when his vision swims and goes dark. Deciding that he isn't going to make it back right now he drags himself to, and curls up under a blackberry bush...
