Kalaber

Kalaber walked up on his rock boulder and stood there.He observed what he could see and then sent out the howl for his pack and allies to gather.His tail above his back.

Black Plaque came up to stand beside the rock and she let out her own howl.

Rat poison came for he was a year old now and his mother allowed him to leave aphrodite who was the appointed baby sitter there would be more when time came.

Halfmoon also showed up and stood by his uncle.His tail flicked.

the komodo dragons gathered around soon after

Three of the four hippo's gathered.

Yaxley had helped Zera move their baby's to the den with aphrodite.The female coyote would be staying behind as well.

Hetan and Bosco walked over and sat.

Joco would be going the longhorn mooed and his mate and calf moved away to the den but stayed above it.

Kusa and Kiko showed up.Two of the most deadly snakes to live.Well Kiko being the most deadly being a Black Mamba.Their snakelings had crowded the den to help protect the defensless animals.

Delta, Rosebud, Kaytara

Delta came over, standing with a normal pose, waiting for his alpha's to speak. His eyes glittered. This is a pack... Delta though, compairing them to Aspen Grove.

Rosebud, better but still injured, limped up. She had cuts, but they had healed over, though they could easily be reopened.

Kaytara trotted beside Half-Moon, nipping his ears. "What are we doing?" She whispered to him.

MoonShadow .+. Boki

MoonShadow moved over to the Group, looking to Kalaber for a moment and then his mother. There was no question for Kaytara had already asked what was on his mind.

Boki moved close to Kalaber, lowering his head in greeting and appology for not being around often. Sitting to hear what had to be said.

Kariena

Kariena padded up silently.Her head even with her shoulders to show respect.She wondered what they were doing.Sitting she lowered her head in greeting to Kalaber and being respectful.Glancing around she looked at the others.Then glanced at her paws.Her ears pricked she waited for Kalaber or someone to speak.

Kalaber

Kalaber stood on the boulder nodding to each one to show up.He yawned and stood there tail up.He nodded to the tigers that entered but still waited.

Black plaque sat down to wait.

Rajsa and her pride entered and waited.

Half Moon:I think we're gonna challenge the Shadow HauntersHe spoke.

the others waited

Blackheart,Jake

Blackheart padded in silently.He heard what Kalaber said and turned to look at Jake.War time he thought.He went and sat down beside Ghostling silently.He hoped she was happy now that she was around her old friends.

Jake padded in too.Hearing this he stopped.He was younger than Blackheart and this meant that he had never been in a real war.He will be in soon though.He sat down beside Pumpkin.Silently he wraped his tail around his paws.

War Song; Sonora; Saguaro

War Song padded in, Sonora and Saguaro close behind. They took their places and waited for Kalaber to speak.

Kalaber

He looked over the group.All his allies weren't here but koga was out retreiving them. He stood up and looked over.thank you for comingHe dipped his head to rajsa's group and war songs.I am planning to call the shadow haunters out onto neutral turf for a battle packs against packs. I wish for your aid in it.I have a plan to how we shall attack as well. But first Let me know if you will participate?He spoke and then looked to rajsa.

Rajsa.My pride will fight with youShe spoke.

He then looked to war Song.He prayed hte lurkers and their allies would help.

Jake,Blackheart

Jake flicked his tail nervously.He fight with Pumpkin,but he was still nervous.Would they survive he thought.

Blackheart perked his ears.A smile came upon his face.He was used to battles.

Kariena

Kariena smiled.Her ears swung sidewards and then forward again.She was letting Lalaber know she fight for the pack.Excitment tingled in her paws.A real war she thought happily.

MoonShadow .+. Boki

The two males stood justly. They would participate. Though neither had truely fought as hard as they would need to in this battle. Boki wasn't the fighting type and MoonShadow had never been in battle, though the thought of it excited him for some strange reason. "This will be amusing," He said slyly under his clenched jaws.

Wither

In the distance a controted face snarled through the bushes. "KALABER!" It was the adult voice of the one whom he had been trying to rescue. He would know her, but it had been so long since they had conversed in a near formal environment.

"Kalaber, I must speak with you." Wither's face was less than amused, in fact, it was twisted into a deadly glare.

Boki jumped up and snarled, "Hearing in on our planning are you!?" He dashed near the wolfess only to be stopped as she lunged from her spot at him. With a whimper he retreated with his tail between his legs. "Stupid... gah.." He cursed his own fear.

Kalaber

He stopped talking and let out a snarl.He shook his head at boki and then jumped off his boulder and moved toward her.He snarled.Oh and what about? SpeakHe growled his tail above his back and an angery look in his eyes.He growled.

Wither

She growled devilishly as she spoke to her brother. "Stop trying to kidnap me and Ynear, As much as you think we have been stolen, we weren't. In fact; I truly believed they saved us... Saved us from the darkness of the valley, plus, if we weren't with them, they would be fighting against us. Do you want to know. Do you want to know what you will subject us to if we life with you?" She looked at his allies, then to his family. "Betrayal, we will be betraying our family. I am use to the battle ground, But Ynear has never seen such. She is safe where she is, she doesn't have to see blood shed, she doesn't have to see war. She sits with pups all day, all night, and cares for them. And she loves doing it. As for me... I have seen the punishment for leaving the Haunters. But I don't want to leave them, I shall die with them Kalaber. I am well fed, there is no starvation, I am respected amongst the packs, there are no fights between us. They saved us, and you are only trying to bring the darkness back into our world" Her eyes began to fill with tears, trying to push back her emotions, she truly missed her brother, and had always wondered why he didn't just join them. To be with his two sisters instead of fighting them off.

Kalaber

He growled.I'm not trying to kidnap you , Risen is the darkness. I wouldn't be fighting if you and ynear were out of the darkness.I would not be fighting i would be neutral.I rather be neutral but I will not stand here and sit still while other pups are brainwashed and stolen. I will not stand for it Wither, Mother and Palatina were killed. Palatina was murdered by Sacrifice I saw it with my own puppy eyes. Betrayle is hard but it shouldn't be punished with pain and death!He snarled.Why can't you see what they have done wither! they have braught the darkness! Once You and Ynear return to the right place with me then i shall seist to fight because I will of accomplish the reason why I fight. Your lucky i havent told my plan cuz if i had you would be forced to stay here. My pack isn't starving eithter. We are well fed. I have never been in the darkness. Mother cried her eyes out when you three were taking. She became depressed because she lost you and all I could do is sit there.Hell She wouldn't let me play with anyone because she was so depressed. Risen ruined my life and I will not let her do the same to others but if you and ynear return here then ill stop fighting her but till then i will fight with all my might.I will not die before her. he said his tail above his back.This hurts me Wither, what ever I say to you you don't believe. I tell the truth but you don't listen. I love you and ynear but I can't be with you why can't you see what she has done. She started this Its not my fault this valley is in darknessTears were actually welling in his eyes.

Wither

She snorted, trying to rid the sadness in her eyes. "Kalaber..." She started, fighting back words that would come out jumbled. " Our pack is not Darkness. It is ruled with power... We fear no one, Kalaber, not even the humans scare us. And I like that feeling. I don't believe Sacrifice could kill a pup, she rescues them with the others. They are not stealing pups, they rescue them. And they haven't rescued them in a long time Kalaber." She paused, lowering her head. "I can not come with you Kalaber, It will put my family at risk. My pups at risk...I have children, they are warriors, they are the legs that hold up the Haunters. I will not leave them. And I will not subject Ynear from her place as the lead Mother. For only a day, if you were to spend only a day with the Haunters, if you were not you, you would see why we stay with them so..." She turned around. Shaking her head.

Kalaber

He growled and then made to pin her down so she couldn't leave yet.My pack is not cowards were are strong and loyal to each other. I haven't had one betray me how many have the haunters betray them? Who knows how many. They betray them because they see what they really are. They may be nice to their pack but not to others. All risen wants to do is rule the whole valley!I am not scared of humans either. Sacrifice killed her you cannot deny it! She did i saw it! and Mother couldn't defend her cuz she had two other wolves on her killing her! I Could do nothing to stop this devilish deed cuz i was a meer pup.I feel sorry for your pups they have been born into the world of darknessHis tail above his back.He only made ot pin her with his body.Ynear could have a mate here and have all the children she likes.I rather not think about what would happen if i lived with them! I would be corrupt as well.I love you and ynear and that will not change. When you two die I will mourn at your grave site for days. As long as you two remain there I will fight on. Your family? Your family? I am your family! Ynear is your family not the haunters. They may love you they may protect you that is just natural for a pack but they will never be your family. They slaughtered your family and their trying to slaughter me and you just stand there and let them. Your a fool wither. I thought you were strong! But I guess I was wrongHe said finally getting off of her if he was on her.Tears now rolling down his face.His face slightly lowered now depressed again.I just wish I had been bigger and stronger when they came to kidnapp us but that could not be helped. If I die I will die a failure and maybe just maybe you and ynear will see the light but then again maybe you won't maybe you will die a traitor.He snarled.The only one who betrayed me is you wither right now you are betraying me but its not the wither i know. The wither I know is strong and loyal to her blood family she is somewhere deep in you and she will come out one dayhe lowered his head.I am sorry wither, But I can not stop this till you and ynear realize the truth and leave them. Bring your pups I don't care I will die defending you. But I cannot promise in this up comming battle that ill be there to defend you from my pack and allies. Though my pack will know to just make it so you can't fight they won't kill you or maim you.Go I'm sure your idiot queen is preparing for battle. I'm not stupid i know my howle reached someone on your sides ears. That was my whole intention. I'm sorry you can't see the light and i can't show you itHe began to move back to his pack only stopping when he was standing next to rajsa.His head turned back to watch his sister.Tears still falling.

Wither

She had been trained not to cry, so only two tears at most managed to escape her being. She had been pinned to the ground by him, laying still as he walked to Rasja. Standing she called out, "Brother, our hearts are one, but our minds are not. You are blood, and Ynear is blood. When you fight in this battle fight me. Or your life will surely end." It was the only hint she was going to give to him. One so scared, "In fact I challenge you one on one. Leave your allies to fight the rest, I will see you during battle." He wouldn't know it until the battle was over, if he fought Wither, his life would not end like those who would fight the 'dirty' wolves.

Kalaber

He listened to her.Crying was is way of releasing everything and he wasn't ashamed of it.His ears flicked back.That is because your mind has been brainwashed. He had intended on taking on risen but now that his sister challenged him he could not turn it down.fine I will fight youhe growled.He watched her still just letting his tears fall.His tail actually down.

War Song; Sonora; Saguaro

War song watched as the two wolves argued. Sonora watched as well, thinking this whole discussion was a bit pointless. Saguaro stepped forward.

"We will fight by your side, Kalaber, but we only take orders from War Song." The Javelina said dully.

Kalaber

He then nodded to them.That is alright.Now that she is gone I can get on with the plan. I am hoping the lurkers will join but I do not know.He spoke and then lept back on his boulder and wiped his paw over his face.I am sorry about that...He sighed.Alright heres my plan.Kusa you will be around my neck being of a lighter color and Kiko you will be with my mate who you will blend into perfectly.He then looked ot war song.I wish for you to choose a few and take them under your command, I wish for you to lead them in coming around the haunters and coming from the rear. But don't take too many cuz that will give it away. Yes I know we are outnumbered more then likely and yes some of us will probably loose our lives. But I am sick of sitting here and doing nothing.He spoke.Rajsa, Black Plaque and I will lead the main force in the face on. I would becareful where you bite I know for a fact they too have poisionos snakes so be cautious but don't let your stength fade because of it. Give it your best.If you can atleast maim them then do so. Do not Touch Wither she is mine. As for risen if hydras comes then she gets risen if not risen is pretty much fair game but i would like for Rajsa to be on her if she has the opputunity. almost anyone can take risen on she is small despite her blood and she isn't a fighter. She will probably have a snake on her, War Song i suggest you take a few of the komodo dragons with you and one or two of the four hipposHe spoke and then waited.

everyone listened.

Jake,Blackheart

Jake listened intently to what was going on.His eyes sparkled with excitment.Flicking his tail silently he unshealthed his claws.He was ready for battle.Weighing at 900 pounds he should be able to enflict some damanage to others.

Blackheart followed everyones movements with his eyes.When Kalaber was waiting for something to happen he silently flicked his tail saying he fight.He be glad to fight.He fight for justice and for freedom.

Kariena

Kariena turned her blue and green orbs watching everything.She was curious to who the new wolf was and soon found out.She listened to what Kalaber speech at the end.She fight no matter what.She had nothing to loose at the moment.Didn't truly matter if she gained anything.The worst that could happen is for her to die,and was that such a bad thing she thought.

Delta, Rosebud and Kaytara

Delta stood up, nodding bravely. "Let's take down the Haunters!" Delta helped pep-up the pack.

Rosebud shook her head. "I cannot, my wounds are too fresh, they can open easily. I will defend any pups or mothers who must be left behind." Rosebud spook.

Kaytara barked. "I wanna fight. I'm almost a year-old, right momma!" She turned to White Feathers.

War Song; Phoenix; Saguaro

War Song looked at the young canines, then at Kalaber. "I and my pack will be happy to fight alongside you." The bear said.

Phoenix, who was in heat, was more irritable and would readily take down anything that crossed her path, be it ally or enemy.

Saguaro scraped her hoof on the ground, ready to fight.

Kalaber

He listened and dipped his head.We shall wait to move until we find out if the lurkers and their alley's shall come as well but for now i shall split you into groups and will tell you how all this will go down.He spoke.The frontal party shall consist of, Me, Black Plaque,Rajsa, Mohan,White Feather,Kaytara,The two snakes which will be on me and black plaque.Boki,Moonshadow,Akamaru,Bosco,Choji,Delta,Fosa and InoHe spoke.He looked to each one.

one side group which will be led by Tango, will include the following, Joco,Cloudia,Gaara,Half Moon,Rat Poison, Kibaa,Kinta,Kureni,Kusa,He then looked to each of them.

He then looked to warsong.Warsong you will lead your pack and the following in the hind attack, Lis,Muso,Orochimaru,Kereinia,Pumpking,Ghostling,Jack, and his friend, Repulsion, and Sarutobi

He spoke and then.The last side group will be led by Ruso, and his group will be Saliva,Suzy,Yare and yaxley

The rest will be in the front group so if you weren't called you go with me. When we find out about hydras we'll factor them in.Some of us will hang back because the haunters try different attack patterns so they may have groups waiting.

Kariena

Kariena smiled when the others agreed to fight.Eyes narrowed she turned to Kalaber and waited for him to speak.Would they go right away.Her paws kneeded the ground silently and waiting.

Jake,Blackheart

Jake listened silently to what was going on.He turned to Pumpkin about to speak when Blackheart beat him to it.

"Are you sure this is what you want,"he asked Ghostling.He wanted to know as well.He go in battle with Ghostling,but is this what she wants.

Jake looked at Pumpkin showing that he was asking her the question as well.

War Song

War Song nodded to Kalaber. "Affirmative." He said, ready to go into battle.

Kalaber

He listened and then looked to the sky.Koga should come back soon I hope with the word from hydra's.I pray the lurkers will be with usHe spoke.

ghost and pumpkin nodded to the two.

Jake,Blackheart

Jake smiled."Wel if this is what you won't then we won't try and stop you.We'll go to battle with you,but in a different party it seems,"he said silently.He knew this might be the last time he saw Pumpkin and he prayed it wasn't.

Blackheart nodded his head meaning the same thing."Whatever happens in this battle,dosen't change a thing,"he said.

Delta & Kaytara

Kaytara nodded, feeling a ripple of pride for being in the front attack. But she'd be targetted first. "Yes, sir!" Kaytara barked strongly.

Delta dipped his head, muscles rippling. "Let's bring 'em down!"

Kariena

Kariena looked around at everybody.Some were cheering while others weren't.She wished she could read their minds.She could guess everybody was thinking the same thing though.One word and thats war.Her green eyes glittered dangerously.If they saw her eyes they think she was crazy most likely.

Kalaber

Kalaber now sat down waiting.He accasionally looked to the sky searching for koga

Boki .+. Moonshadow

Boki and MoonShadow both agreed with the plan. Though Boki was more reluctant to do so than Moon, who was as eager as ever to fight his first fight, unknown that it could very well be his last. He only heard the tails of the Haunters fighting dirty, he didn't know first hand just how dirty they were.
