< In The Beginning >
Lightning stroke another tree once again, giving off a spark and setting it on fire.
A gray tom struggled to help a small she-cat walk, through the strong winds tried to stop them.
The tom spoke softly to the beautiful white she-cat."Don't worry, Feather. I promise you, I will get both of you to safety." The 'both of you' he spoke of was his kits, who Feather, his mate, was about to give birth to. Although they struggled to find shelter that couldn't be ruined by the storm. Feather yelped every so often, but he understood. This gray tom's name was Cloud. "Cloud, we should have stayed at hollow tree back there. Let's turn around, the storm is getting worse." The white she-cat meowed, gently, trying not to anger him. Cloud had anger issues, and many things could easily set him off. "I won't stop until I find the perfect shelter for you and Raven." They had already named the kit about one week ago.
Suddenly lightning struck in front of them, just missing Cloud. This was when Cloud finally realized Feather was right to turn around. As the two cats turn around, the lightning struck once again, setting the grass on fire all around. Feather yelped and crouched down,her heart beating fast. "There's no other way out of this. We have to jump..on three. Alright?" He looked around, the fire was getting closer and closer to them every second they waited. He skipped one and two and went straight to three. "Three!" He leapt through the flames, fortunately his speed cost him only about three burns. He turned around, but Feather never jumped out.

Cloud soon found out about the clans, and created his own. He named it StormClan. His name, Cloudstar.

Fighting Moves
Back kick
Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully; then lash out with your back legs, taking your weight on your front paws.
Belly rake
A fight-stopper. Slive with unsheathed claws across soft flesh of opponent's belly. If you're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back in control.
Front paw blow
Frontal attack. Bring your front paw down hard on your opponent's head. Claws sheathed.
Front paw strike
Frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the body or face of your opponent. Claws unsheathed.
Killing bite
A death blow to the back of the neck. Quick and silent and sometimes considered dishonorable (see Warrior Code). Used only as a last resort.
Leap-and-hold
Ideal for a small cat facing a large opponent. Spring onto opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyong the range of your opponent's paws and in position to inflict severe body wounds. A group of apprentices can defeat a large and dangerous warrior in this way. It was deployed to great effect against BloodClan's deputy, Bone. Watch for the drop-and-roll countermove, and try to jump free before you get squashed.
Partner fighting
Warriors who have trained and fought together will often instinctively fall into a paired defensive position, each protecting the other's back while fending off an opponent on either side. Slashing, clawing, and leaping together, battle pairs can be a whirlwind of danger for attackers.
Play dead
Effective in a tight situation, such as when you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxes his grip, thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponent and put you in an attacking position.
Scruff shake
Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponent's neck; then shake violently until he or she is too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, which are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them.
Teeth grip
Target your opponent's extremities—the legs, tail, scruff, or ears—and sink in your teeth and hold. This move is similar to the leap-and-hold except your claws remain free to fight.
Upright lock
Final, crushing move on already weakened opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring full weight down on opponent. If opponent does same, wrestle and flip him under you. This move makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so requires great strength and speed.
