The old WC - A story

Yeah, sadly.

But odds are it would have taken more than three.

And it also began to go in to some mystic magic stuff, everyone wanted to keep things more realistic. Chickens with wands....
That is one reason Ash's character was so weird. After the Code died, he just didn't really have a sound purpose and instead of being cool and mysterious he kinda turned into a hobo... O-o

OMG that's hilarious.
I'd almost forgotten about Ash. At first I though, why are you talking about Pokemon?! o.o

Or chickens that could grow back their wings... oh wait, those were mind, weren't they?

I keep trying to write "Moospelt". My typing fingers do NOT like me today.

Yeah, he's been gone fer a while. Which is probably good, kinda lost his charm. Although I still like the name.

Magikarp..
Those were mind?

Moosepelt. There's a name fer ya!

CHAPTER TEN

Wissclaw twisted his body sharply, and leapt up, slashing his claws across Mosspelt's back, creating three deep gashes.
She blinked back the stinging pain and pulled her strength together, barrelling into Wissclaw and driving her beak into his chest. His blood tasted nasty, so she spat it out into the dirt, thinking he could surely back off now.

Instead, he roared with the intensity of a lion and sent his foot into Mosspelt's belly, kicking her high into the air until she crash-landed halfway down the mountain, her bloody body picking up twigs as she tumbled down the slope, now uncinscious.

For Wissclaw, the fun had just started. He laughed at Mosspelt's retreating form, before turning to look for Arrowrun with the same glint in his eyes.
Russetstar watched calmly from the gate of her camp. She had no doubts in her best warrior's abilities, and smiled to herself.
Arrowrun darted through the grass, seemingly unnoticed.
Arlanda shook in her hiding spot. She decided she would wait until nightfall when she could follow Mosspelt's course down the mountain. In that state, she won't be going very far, so if i stay with her till she's better, she can tell us the way home.

A roar distracted her. There stood Wissclaw, triumphantly holding a struggling Arrowrun by her wing, ready to peck her haflt to death.
Arlanda squeaked. Something inside her ticked. "Why - YOU!!" she yelled, flying out from the bushes, attaching herself to Wissclaw by her claws and stabbing his head until blood flowed freely.

It did the trick - he let go of Arrowrun in surprise and a look of pain crossed his face. he thrashed wildly until he'd thrown Arlanda off, and picked them both up, smashing them together.
Arrowrun shook her head to clea the stars, thrusting her feet out until she made contact with Wissclaw's flesh. She fell, and he slammed Arlanda into her own face, which she pecked at ferociously, unknowingly spearing an eye.

Russetstar could see her friend was outnumbered, and the anger grew inside of her. She launched herself off the ground and landed on Arrowrun, pinning her down and twisting her wing back until she heard it crack.
White hot pain shot through Arrowrun, but she bravely pushed it away, grabbing Russetstar's fathers in her beak and pulling them out.
How on earth did I get here? Arlanda thought worriedly, pelting pebbles as accurately as she could manage at Wissclaw's good eye.

The big lump shook away the blood on his face, making an offensive and bowling Arlanda over. He glared and pecked at one of her wings, until she tore herself from his grasp and sent her foot into his chest, clenching her toes. He howled and threw the young hen into a nearby thornbush, before collapsing, feeling light-headed.
Russetstar was more or less unhurt. She charged for the weary Arrowrun, who barely had the strength to dodge, sinking her beak into Arrowrun's head. Arlanda raised her head weakly and focused on the scene. She plucked a bunch of thorns and sent them straight into Russet's back.

Arrowrun's eyes widened. "That's IT! The darts!" she said. Arlanda frowned at her. From inside her wing, Arrowrun pulled out a number of poison-tipped spears. Russet had set her targets before Arrowrun could move any further. She flipped herself over and used her back as a spiked ball, driving the points into Arrowrun's belly, winding her.

"Ahhh!" she shrieked, the darts rolling away from the two of them.
Arlanda tore herself from the spiny branches, dashing over to scoop them up. Russet tried to lunge out at Arlanda, but she was still attached to Arrowrun and didn't get very far.

Arlanda plunged the dart into Russet's wing.

Russet gritted her teeth, but it was no use. Her eyes closed as the poison moved in. "Murderer..." she said softly.
Arlanda's jaw dropped, as she numbly pulled the hen off Arrowrun.
"is she... dead?"
Arrowrun shook her head. "No, the poison only knocks them out for a few hours."
Arlanda shook with relief. "I've never killed anyone before."
"That's good, isn't it?"
"Yeah, I s'pose."

The two of them trudged down the slope, happening across Mosspelt's limp body. Together they dragged her into a nearby tree hollow, while Arrowrun went off in search of herbs to treat them all.

Yep. Although he was Moon's old friend, not an evil doer. Yep, died protecting Raven's egg. *Cape dramatically flies*

lol. Yep.

Cool..... There was a thread somewhere, you just reminded me of it, I'll have to dig.

Oh yeah he was nice. Wasn't Ash nice too? See,there's what's confusing about the Code.

I thought Raven was already hatched by that time. o.o Or was it that weird green egg who turned out to be adopted? lol

Ash was weird. He was supposedly evil, yet he never harmed anyone or made any enemies.

Maybe it was... It was an egg at any rate!

I am looking!

Maybe he just... wanted to be evil but didn't have the guts to do it.

Delta had lots of eggs. I remember trying to relive the excitement of the first hatch. Didn't work.

What's it about?

Oh, he had potential, at least in one of the partial stories I wrote.

lol. I don't think any of mine hatched eggs, well. Moon, but her chicks really just poofed a day later. I think it was all in her head.

Taking letters out of words. I am searching like crazy!

CHAPTER ELEVEN

"Show yourselves, intruders of the forest!" were the first roaring words that greeted Delta upon her return to camp. She had been out and had a long, beautiful day in the forest, dustbathing under the sun's golden rays and stopping to peck up any passing insects, the unfortunate grubs.
She rubbed her eyes with the large feathers on her wing, and shook the dust out of her pores. BrightFlight was on the alert, peering around through the vegetation. He growled in a threatening manner, but whoever it was had disappeared.

On an island, far out to sea, two weary chickens pulled themselves onto the shore. The sun beat down with a warm, welcoming heat and the sand shone with a strange radiance. Palm trees stood grandly a little up the coastline, while behind them bloomed a lush, undisturbed forest broken only by tropical bird calls and the chip of cicadas.

One was SandStar, the other her friend of a long time, PearlFeather. Both were hens of a stratling white shade, and they barely even stood out from the fine sand. Two spots on the pristine beach, they looked at each other incredulously.
"What is this place, say?!"
"Finally, we see some land after all that flying. I was about to drop dead."
"And I think I'm about to drop dead after all at the beauty of the island."
"We're calling this home then?"
"It can hardly be called ValleyClan anymore."

"Well yes, most of the members were killed..." PearlFeather's face flashed a look of nostalgia. "We'll have to start all anew."
Something barrelled into the sand next to them. It was a pullet, barely full-grown, a dirty yellow shade with barred feathers. She could hardly be called pretty, but she had a quirky little tail which many thought made her look cute.

sandStar shrieked and jumped up, crashing into PearlFeather.
The pullet giggled. "Hi! Sorry if I frightened you!"
"That's quite all right..." Pearl began. "I apologise if we're intruding on your territory."
"Territory? What's that? Don't we all live together?"
Sandstar frowned at Pearl. "No, hun. Where are you from?"
"The city. I lived in a park where humans fed the group of us."

Sandstar and Pearl exchanged another glance.
"Well... I'm afraid we do things a little differently out here. We have to take care of ourselves - there is nobody to feed us around here."
The pullet looked around. "You're quite right! This place is absolutely deserted!"

"Not QUITE," said a mischievous voice from behind her. [ui]Another[/i] white hen, why, the sun here must bleach their feathers!
"CoxPaw, nice to meet you."
The pullet smiled. "Hi! I'm SkyLaine."
"SkyLaine... why it has a ring to it."
"Most of my friends in the park called me Laine. it's less troublesome to say."

PearlFeather decided to pitch in. "I'm PearlFeather and this is SandStar - "
CoxPaw's eyes widened. "You're ValleyClan's leaders!"
SandStar laughed bitterly. "We're not only Valleyclan's leaders, we ARE ValleyClan."
"What?!"
"There was an invasion. A lot of us were killed, some managed to escape, but we haven't seen hide nor hair of them for weeks."
"I'm sorry."
"No need to be - our time was up. Our systems were failing, I guess we neede a fresh start."

Suddenly, PearlFeather's eyes flashed with inspiration. "and that is why, my friends, I welcome you all today to OceanClan!"
"Pearl! You're a genius!" SandStar exclaimed.
"That's a nice name," Laine piped up, not really understanding anything that had gone on just then.

CoxPaw smiled. "Well, okay, I'll try to explain. Here we live in groups called clans, and each clan owns a piece of land for their use called the territory. Entering another's territory without permission is considered an offence."
Laine frowned. "Why can't everyone just get along?"
"it's not that - there are too many of us to stay all in order if we exist together. Originally, the one group split to share rank duties, then gradually the two halves became competitive, and that's how it's got to the stage it's at today."

Pearl and Sandstar excused themselves to begin scouting for a suitable location for a camp. CoxPaw led Laine towards the forest. "I've been here as a loner for a while. There are a couple on this island. I'll show you around."
As if on cue, another gleaming white hen stepped out from the trees. Laine's eyes were beginning to swim with all the white feathers. However, as the hen lifted her wings, Laine saw thick black streaks on the undersides.

"SnowFeather! Meet Laine."
"Hey..." Laine said uncertainly.
"Are you a loner too?"
CoxPaw cleared her throat. "actually, Snow, we've just had two leaders of Valleyclan arrive after an... incident on the mainland. They're starting anew on the island. Me and Laine are already in. Laine's from the city."

SnowFeather didn't know which pressing issue to address first. Finally, she picked the most shocking one. "The CITY? My, my! Laine, you've got a lot to learn out here."
She turned to CoxPaw. "And I don't see why not. Me and you have had the island to ourselves for a long time now, it was about time someone new came to mess things up!"

CosPaw laughed. "Well, everyone. Welcome home!"
