First

'''Author's Note - I was inspired to do this story a while ago by Forest's awesome Transformer series. For the purposes of this story, Code of the Clans is non-canon'''

Rabbitleap launched himself at Gorsestar in a flurry of teeth and claws.

"You're going to StarClan, you soft kittypet!" he snarled at the leader.

"Only after you," the leader spat through gritted teeth.

The two WindClan toms tussled furiously through the springy grass. At last, Rabbitleap managed to slice Gorsestar's neck with his hind claws. Blood rushed out, and the WindClan leader eventually lay still on the turf. Was this the leader's last life? Had Rabbitleap won? The warrior was about to go announce the leader's death to the Clan when Gorsestar scrambled to his paws and started battering the unprepared tom. Eventually, he got close enough to deliver a swift bite to Rabbitleap's throat. The warrior twitched and then lay still.

Where am I? Is this StarClan? That was the first thought to come into Rabbitleap's head when he came to. It certainly didn't look like StarClan, that was for sure. The tall, ominous trees shone like bones in the faint light from the sickly, glowing fungus. There was the stench of death and decay everywhere, but not the faintest whiff of cat, Clan or otherwise. The warrior thought he heard a mouse, but it dissolved into mist and shadow when he pounced.

"Show yourselves, mouse-hearts!" Rabbitleap yowled into dark, blank sky. Still nothing other than the illusory skitterings of mice in the shadows.

"Well then, I guess you don't think I deserve-" he spat the word furiously- "to be rewarded for trying to rid WindClan of that fox-hearted crowfood-eater. Well then, see if I care!" He stalked off into the dead, rustling bracken.

Eventually, he reached a black pool reflecting the nothingness in the sky and the faint green glow among the tree-roots. Rabbitleap saw his own image in the dark, bottomless water. Those mangy rogues who had denied him a place in the stars! Those fox-hearted cowards who would easily welcome that weak fool Gorsestar into their ranks! He didn't want to join them in the stars.

"Now I am Boneclaw of the Place of No Stars," he growled.
