No. Thunder and his crew (Arabian Knight, etc) will still be the same but it's going to be very different.
 
Chapter 10

Sorrelfur shot to her feet, not even wincing at a sharp pain that shot through her head. "What's wrong with him?!"

"He didn't die," Stripe said quickly, "he's... just not doing well right now."

"I want to see him," Sorrelfur demanded.

"Y-you can't," Stripe stammered, "you're not well enough."

"I don't care!" Sorrelfur snapped angrily, pushing the chicken aside and storming down one of the medicine caves. Oh, StarClan, please let him be alright, she prayed silently.

What she saw made her heart sink to her feet.

Bluestar, Silverstream, Graystripe, Stormcloud, Stonefur, Tapska, Spottedleaf, Talltail, and Sylver were crouched over a particular red body. Sorrelfur rushed forward, "what's wrong with him?!"

"Thunder bruised him up real good," Tapska grunted. Spottedleaf's paws ran over a huge, deep scrape on Foxshadow's back that started at his head all the way down to the base of his tail.

"It's a good thing Sorrelfur interfered," Spottedleaf said grimly. "If she hadn't, that scratch would have been on his stomach, and he'd have joined StarClan by now." A shiver ran down Sorrelfur's spine as she imagined what might have happened if that scratch had ended up on Foxshadow's stomach.

Her ears pricked as she heard a muffled groan come from Foxshadow. His eyes cracked open, "what happened...?" Sorrelfur began to lick the dried blood off his shoulder.

"You were attacked by Thunder," Spottedleaf mewed.

Foxshadow lifted his head weakly to look at Sorrelfur. "You're alright," he exclaimed softly, rasping his tongue over her cheek. "I'm so glad..." His voice trailed off, before his head fell back to the ground.

"Foxshadow!" Sorrelfur exclaimed, alarmed.

"Don't worry," Spottedleaf meowed quickly, "he's alright. He's just exhausted."

"Will he be okay?" Sorrelfur asked anxiously.

"I'm sure he will," Spottedleaf promised, running her tail comfortingly down Sorrelfur's shoulder. "I'll let you know if he takes a dive. Now go out there and get some sleep."

Sorrelfur dipped her head, suddenly realizing how tired she was. She stretched; her muscles were quite stiff, she noticed. But she hardly cared; she made her way towards her mossy nest and curled up, asleep before her head hit the moss.

***

Sorrelfur awoke to a bird screaming an alarm call in the early dawn light. The moon still shone high in the sky, and the sky was still a bit dark, but it was gradually lightening. Her stomach gave a hungry gurgle, and she looked around, hoping no one had been awakened. Thank StarClan, she thought, suddenly famished. She remembered that she hadn't eaten since the day before yesterday on the trip to Highstones. Stretching, she winced at her sore muscles and began to pad out of the cave. Her jaws were open as she took in the scents of prey, dropping into a hunting crouch as she stalked a sparrow, pecking through the dirt. Bunching her hind legs, she sprang onto the bird, sinking her teeth into the back of its neck. Her mouth watered at the scent.

"Nice catch," a voice commented behind her. She spun around, her fur bristling. Behind her was a dark gray wolf with amber eyes, and beside him was a black wolf with clearish yellow eyes and a white underside.

"Who are you?" She demanded, her voice not unkind, but not necessarily friendly either. After the battle, she had learned not to trust every single person she saw.

"Nebrivo," the wolf replied casually, "and this is my mate, Daisy. We're looking for a cat called Bluestar."

"Bluestar?" Sorrelfur echoed. "Why do you want to see Bluestar?"

"We want to join her," Nebrivo said. "Rumors have been going around about who defeated Thunder in that fight yesterday. If she's as good as I've heard she is, I want to meet her."

Sorrelfur looked Nebrivo over carefully. She closed her eyes, and concentrated on feeling for any powers Nebrivo or Daisy had. Nebrivo's power, which was the power to control weather, was advanced, and Daisy controlled plants. Those aren't exactly the powers you want your opponent to have, she thought apprehensively. But they're outnumbered, and Bluestar could take them down easily if they're looking for a fight. She dipped her head, "follow me." Carrying the sparrow in her mouth, she began to pad back to the cave. She looked behind her to make sure that Nebrivo and Daisy were following, and when they were, she continued.

The sun was beginning to peek above the horizon as Sorrelfur, Nebrivo, and Daisy arrived at the cave. She waved to tail to signal them to stop, "wait here." She padded into the cave. It was already bustling with activity, and her eyes searched for the gray form of Bluestar. When she saw her making her way towards the watering hole, she bounded over to her. "Bluestar, there are two wolves outside. They want to join us."

"Oh?" Bluestar furrowed a brow. "Take me to them."

Sorrelfur turned tail and led Bluestar out of the cave to Nebrivo and Daisy. "Greetings, Bluestar," Nebrivo said, dipping his head respectfully.

"Who are you? And why do you wish to join?" Bluestar demanded.

"As I told your friend here," he pointed with his tail to Sorrelfur, "I am Nebrivo, and this is my mate, Daisy. I was told that you ran Thunder off yesterday, and I wish to join you. He has taken my home."

Bluestar ran Thunder off yesterday?! Sorrelfur thought in astonishment. It was all she could do to keep her jaw from dropping to the ground.

Bluestar's eyes narrowed in suspicion. Instead of replying to him, she turned and called into the cave, "Strider!"

The young black pegasus colt trotted out. "Yeah, Bluestar?" His eyes gleamed with curiousity at the two strange wolves.

"Stand over here," she ordered. Strider did as she was told, and Bluestar closed her eyes. Sorrelfur knew that she was using Strider's telepathy to read Nebrivo's mind. Bluestar's eyes remained closed for what seemed like nine lifetimes, before she opened them.

"Very well," she meowed finally. "You may join us."
