A group of fourteen rogues sat outside of WindClan territory. A large, silver tom with amber eyes sat in the middle of a circle, talking to the cats around him. "This is it. We'll jump into battle while they aren't expecting it." he said," Are we all ready?"
"What about the kits?" asked a familiar golden tom.
The leader thought for a second, then dug a small hole in the ground. "Put them in here for now." he commanded, and the golden tom pushed both of the kits into the hole.
"Attack!" the silver tom commanded, and the fourteen rogues rushed into WindClan territory.

Sandstep was just about to leave the camp for a hunting expedition when suddenly they were under attack! "Invasion!" she called, and watched cats run from their dens. Lightwing and Grasswhistle were the first to emerge and they both jumped quickly at the cats attacking them. Who are these cats? RiverClan...? No! ShadowClan? ThunderClan? They don't have any Clan scent on them! "Rogues!" she called out over the yowls of battle.
Applekit and Swiftkit were finally alone for the first time since they were taken to the rogues hide out. This could be their chance to escape! The hole that was dug for them wasn't too deep, but still, they were just tiny little kits.

Oceanmask came out of the Warriors den to find an attack! She realized at once these cats were just rogues, and raced over to the nursery. She stuck her nose inside to see Morningcloud battling a rogue while Herbleaf had her tail curled protectively around all of the kits. Oceanmask leaped on top of the rogue, sending it flying out of the nursery. Oceanmask followed, and called over her shoulder, "Get the kits out of camp!"
Leafpaw exploded out of the apprentice's den when she heard battle. She immediately ran to her father's den. "Wishingstar! Wishingstar!"
"Attack, I know." the white tom replied before his daughter could say anything. Wishingstar exited his den and was immediately attacked. Leafpaw jumped on top of her leader's attacker.

Swiftkit had an idea. "Applekit, push me out!" he said. His sister did as she was told and helped to lift the kit out of the hole.
Applekit had successfully managed to get Swiftkit out of the hole, but now she had no way out. "I'm stuck!" she said as she clawed the earth desperately. All it did was send a shower of dirt down on her face.
Sandstep heard the deputy's call and made her way to the nursery. She snatched up Breezekit and Yewkit from Herbleaf's protective tail. She couldn't carry more than that, so she backed her way out of the den and ran for the entrance of camp.

Wishingstar bit down on the rogue's tail, and the tom went flying out of camp. The rogue came back and jumped into the frey only moments later though, and Wishingstar could see that they were outnumbered. "Leafpaw, get the kits out of camp now!" Wishingstar called before helping Oceanmask in her battle.
Leafpaw ran over to the Nursery to see Sandstep and Herbleaf leaving with Breezekit, Yewkit, and Gorsekit. Morningcloud followed with Harekit, and Brightstreak was carrying Kestrelkit and trying to push Thornkit forward. Leafpaw bounded up and picked up Thornkit, and the group exited the camp.
"There's no use, Wishingstar! We are outnumbered, and we have too many queens and kits to worry about!" Oceanmask called as she fought side by side with her leader.
"We can't just give up without a fight!" Wishingstar huffed, out of breath already.
Oceanmask yowled when she was attacked by another rogue from behind. She sprang forward, right into the paws of another rogue.

Grasswhistle sent a rogue flying into the mess of cats in the middle of the camp before jumping in to help Oceanmask. He bit down hard on the rogues shoulder, showing no mercy. He waited until blood surged through his teeth and the taste filled his senses before trying to rip the cat forcably off of Oceanmask.
While getting out of the camp, Sandstep noticed two kits on the ground not far from where the battle was. One of them was in a hole and the other was just outside it. Sandstep already had two kits to worry about. She put down the two kits she had and lifted the kit in the hole out so she could move on her own. "Run." Sandstep said simply and picked up Breezekit and Yewkit again.
Applekit and Swiftkit stumbled after the she-cat that had gotten Applekit out from the hole, hoping that wherever she was going would be safe.

Oceanmask blinked the blood out of her eyes to see Grasswhistle. "Thanks." she mewed quickly, then turned and attacked the nearest rogue.
Wishingstar was now fighting by himself. he was having a one on one battle with the leader of the rogues. "Why are you here?" the old tom hissed as he slashed the rogue's ears. The silver tom dipped back skillfully and slashed at Wishingstar's feet. "This is our territory now, Clan cat!" he hissed back in response. "Who are you?" Wishingstar asked after jumping to avoid the attack. "Xemnas. We are The Organization!" the silver tom answered. Wishingstar went to leap on Xemnas, but he was attacked from behind suddenly. Two rogues, a male and a female, were on top of him now, scratching at his underbelly.
Oceanmask smacked one fo the rogues off of her leader and bit down on its neck. The rogue flipped itself over, pinning Oceanmask onto the ground.
Meanwhile, outside of camp, Brightstreak set down her kit. "We need to join the battle again!" She announced, "It doesn't sound like it's going well."

"We can't leave the kits unguarded... We have to get them somewhere safe!" Sandstep meowed urgently, looking at all of the kits. StarClanJesusCat they had so many. Suddenly, the pair of strange kits piped in.
"Go to ThunderClan. They know about these rogues, and they'll help you! We're ThunderClan kits. The rogues stole us." Swiftkit announced, deciding it was time to get home. And help WindClan!
Sandstep looked at Brightstreak, nervously. "Should we?"

"We can't leave WindClan behind!" Brightstreak mewed, "Why don't we go back and help? Leafpaw, you can stay with the queens and head to ThunderClan."
"But we don't have enough mouths to carry the kits!" Leafpaw complained, putting her kit down.
Herbleaf piped up, "My kits are old enough to walk on their own. All three of us can carry one of Morningcloud's kits, and we can make it there. We can send ThunderClan to help as well."
Brightstreak nodded and said, "Let's go, Sandstep!" Then the she-cat raced off.
Leafpaw picked up Kestrelkit, Morningcloud picked up Breezekit, and Herbleaf picked up Harekit. The three older cats were off, Herbleaf's kits following after their mother.

Sandstep nodded and ran back into camp after Brightstreak. She hurled herself immediately into battle, scratching, clawing and biting furiously. WindClan was outnumbered, but they still fought against the rogues fiercely.
Applekit followed after the WindClan cats, Swiftkit close by. She pressed against her brother's side, excited to be going home. "Foxstar will help you guys out! Dustcloud will be so glad you brought us back... Thank you so much, WindClan cats!" she said, her words tumbling out in an excited mess.
Swiftkit felt embarrassed for his sister.

Morningcloud flicked Applekit on the tail lovingly, but didn't say anything else until they got to the camp. They weren't sure if they should just waltz in or what, but that was ended quickly when Lightbreeze and Smokesong stepped out of camp. "WindClan Intruders!" Smokesong howled, "Foxstar!" The tom raced back into camp while Lightbreeze shook her head. She knew they were no threat. "Come in." she said to them, and led them into camp.

Foxstar leaped down from her den when she heard her name being called. Instantly, she smelled WindClan, and padded over curiously to the cats in her camp. "Greetings..." she said, dipping her head. "What is WindClan doing in ThunderClan territory?" she asked. Her voice held no threat, only curiosity.

"WindClan is being attacked," Morningcloud explained after setting her kit down, "and we needed to escape. We came here asking for help. We also found these kits of yours wandering around in WindClan territory." She flicked her tail toward Applekit and Swiftkit.

Foxstar's eyes widened when she saw Applekit and Swiftkit. Dustcloud was there in an instant covering her kits in affectionate licks and purrs. She pulled her eyes away from the kits and asked the WindClan cats, "Who is attacking WindClan?" though she already had her suspicions.

"Some group of rogues! We need to go back and fight!" Leafpaw answered, her kit on the ground as well.
"There's no need," Smokesong said, "I scent a large group of WindClan cats coming this way."
In a matter of moments, WindClan cats flooed through the camp entrance. No cat had gotten out unscathed, besides maybe Brightpool.
Brightstreak was leading the cats. She had missed most of the fight because she was with the queens, but she was still badly bruised and had a few scratches.
