Demyx and Luxord both ignored Applekits comment. They herded the kits forward through Twolegplace, and once they were about in the middle of it Luxord mewed, "Alright, we're here. Up in that abandoned nest is where we live." Luxord picked up Blazekit by the scruff of his neck, and in two clean jumps he was in through a hole in the wall. Demyx almost picked up Swiftkit, but remembering how picky he had been last time, he picked up Applekit instead. He followed Luxord and clambored into the nest.
When they were inside, both toms set their kits on the ground. The nest was filled with other rogues, and a silver one that was obviously the leader opf the group walked up to them.
"These are?" the tom asked.
"ThunderClan kits. There's three of them. Demyx can go get the other one." Luxord answered.
Demyx nodded his head and leaped back through the only exit, the hole high up in the wall. He went back down and grabbed Swiftkit, then returned back inside and set the kit down on the ground with its siblings.

Applekit pushed her way in between her brothers, looking back and forth from Blazekit to Swiftkit and back again. At one point she looked at the big silver cat in front of them, but didn't really care too much about him.
Swiftkit pressed against Applekit, and glared up at the silver tom before turning to his sister and looking into her eyes. Both of them were still thinking about the plan, he could tell. He stretched his head over to look at Blazekit, who started to seem uncertain. Thank StarClan...
Blazekit started to feel uneasy. Something definitely wasn't right here, he decided. It only took him til they got kitnapped to figure it out. We're not safe here! he exploded in his mind. Fail.

The silver cat looked over the three kits with his orange eyes.
"I told you to cause trouble, not bring me kits." he said.
"Uhm...well...the kits are missing! That should cause trouble!" Demyx announced.
"It was Demyx's plan, not mine, Xemnas." Luxord mewed.
Demyx gave Luxord a glare, but didn't say anything.
"Might as well keep them here then. They can eat whatever scraps we have to give them." Xemnas decided. He then turned back to the backside of the den, where he started talking with another cat. It sounded like they were plotting to attack WindClan, or something of the sort.

Applekit felt relief surge over her as she felt her brother's fur begin to prickle and his blue eyes held suspicion in them. What the cats had just said must have Blazekit convinced now, if he wasn't already wary before. She nudged her brother slightly to get him to focus his gaze on her.
Blazekit turned to his sister desperately, his eyes almost pleading. "We've got to get out of here." he whispered in a low enough voice that only Applekit would be able to hear. He felt so bad that he had gotten them into this.
Swiftkit watched the exchange between the older cats, not realizing that Applekit and Blazekit were communicating. He let out an amused mew, "You think ThunderClan can't handle some rogues?" almost laughing at the cats. Foxstar was the greatest tracker of all the Clans! There would be a patrol here in no time.

Demyx already moved over to talk to some other rogues, but Luxord was still near the kits. The brown tom reached out and smacked Swiftkit from behind, knocking the small tom forward. At least he didn't have his claws unsheathed. "Yeah, if they can find us through Twolegplace, they won't beat us." he meowed in amusement.
A redish-brown tom walked up to where Luxord and teh kits were. His green eyes sparkled in the light that came in through the hole in the nest, but his voice sounded like he was complaining, whether it meant to be a complaint or not. "Luxord, leave them alone. They're just kits after all. Come with Xigbar and me to hunt."
"Fine." Luxord sighed. He jumped out of the nest, followed by the red tom and a silver and black rogue.

Swiftkit easily recovered his balance and scoffed again at the cats, making sure he seemed high and mighty. He wasn't going to allow any weakness to show through, even if he was just a kit.
Sparrowsong followed the rogue scent and kit scent all the way into the twolegplace that appeared out of nowhere. "This must be where they took the kits. The trail stops right here." she said, looking around. "We can get in through there." she said, pointing her tail to an opening high up on the structure.

Smokesong looked up at the hole int he wall of the Twoleg nest. "So, you think they're in there? What do you think we're up against?"
Gingerclaw turned to look at her apprentice. "Are you ready for a battle?" she asked.

Sparrowsong shrugged. "Whatever it is, I'm sure we can handle it." she meowed, her voice firm. "And if we can't... well, we know where they are now at least, and we can build up another patrol and take care of them."
Ivorypaw was bursting with excitement, but tried to make herself seem calm. "I'm ready." she said. She hoped she wouldn't draw a blank in her very first battle! She was going through battle move after battle move, trying to remember all she was taught.

"Don't leave my side." Gingerclaw commanded her apprentice. She did think Ivorypaw was ready though.
Smokesong nodded his head. He walked up to the hole in the wall, then jumped onto a nearby rock. That was obviously the only way they could get inside, the hole was too far up. "Whenever you give the command, Sparrowsong." Smokesong said, gazing at her out of the corner of his eye. He was ready to leap into battle.

Sparrowsong nodded and leaped up onto the rock, after nudging Dustcloud over to it. She watched the dull orange she-cat jump up onto the rock, and looked down at the two cats left on the ground, Gingerclaw and Ivorypaw. "When Gingerclaw and Ivorypaw are both up here, wait three heart beats and go."
Ivorypaw nodded and made her way up to the rock, in an empty space so that Gingerclaw could get up there RIGHT NEXT TO HER.

Gingerclaw hopped up after Ivorypaw, almost falling off. She caught herself and shook her fur a little, then unsheathed her claws, ready for attack.
'One...two...three!' Smokesong counted inside his head. On three, he lunged in through the window and slashed at the nearest rogue.
The rogue turned and bit at Smokesong's neck, and the two tumbled ionto the ground in a mess of fangs and claws. Two more rogues joined in on the attack, scratching and biting the ThunderClan tom.

Sparrowsong jumped in after Smokesong, her claws unsheathed. When Smokesong was outnumbered, she leaped on one of the rogues, scoring her claws along his flanks and biting into his neck.
Dustcloud waited before leaping into the fray. She looked around and saw her three kits huddled next to each other, and instantly leaped for them. She snatched up Blazekit the moment she made it over to the kits. She looked around, finding that the only way out was through the high up entrance. There was no way she could carry all three of the kits. "Applekit, Swiftkit, come with me. I'll get you out next..." she said ushering her kits towards the exit.

Gingerclaw leaped in after Dustcloud. She was going to help Smokesong or Sparrowsong, who both had three rogues on them each, but she saw the remaining rogues (which was five, if you're not sure whats going on) and leapt at them to keep them away from the kits. She slashed at the nearest ones before she felt multiple cats leap onto her back and bite at her neck.

Dustcloud leaped up to the opening and onto the rock, setting Blazekit down. "Don't move a muscle. Your grey pelt will help you blend in. Yowl if you need me, I'll be out in a heartbeat..." she said before leaping back through the window to get her next to kits. She didn't want to let her kits be alone for too long in case the rouges got to them again. She picked up both Applekit and Swiftkit, to make one journey so she wouldn't need to leave one of them alone in here any longer.
Sparrowsong scratched and bit furiously at the rogue cats, but it was near helpless. They were completely out numbered. But she wanted to give Dustcloud enough time to find and hopefully rescue the kits, so she continued to fight with all her strength.
Ivorypaw ripped one of the cats off Gingerclaw and raked at it furiously, feeling blood surge between her claws at the harsh tears she left in the cat.

Luck was not on ThunderClans side today. The three rogues that had gone on hunting earlier came back just at this time. All three of them dropped their prey onto the ground as they heard the attack. The silver and black tom ran into the nest, followed closely by Luxord. They bowled into Dustcloud and bit at her neck and clawed at her underbelly, anything they could to kill her faster. That's how rogues worked.
The other tom that was with the hunting patrol, the redish one, was the only one to notice Blazekit. He leaped onto the rock and sniffed the tom. "So, you're not hurt. ThunderClan must be here then." he meowed.
