"...From this day forwards, you shall be known as Larburnumclaw and Slugpelt!" Foxstar announced, flicking his tail.
Nightheart pricked his ears as the Clan cheered. He didn't feel like cheering, and he could congratulate them later, when all the cats had cleared.
He heard a rumble and pricked his ears. The other cats paused as well, so he knew that it wasn't just him.
And then a large, black and white figure burst into camp.
"Badger!" Foxstar yowled. "Protect the nursery!"
The badger rushed into the camp and Nightheart went to defend the nursery when he saw it going towards Cypresstripe, who was frozen in terror.
Nightheart snarled and leapt towards the badger. No badger was going to get his mate! He dug his claws into it's pelt.
The badger growled in annoyance and shook. Nightheart released it and turned, running a bit away and then stopping to check if it was following. It was, faster than Nightheart had anticipated, and hit him hard in the side. He yelped as he went flying through the air, his world turning several times. He couldn't see the ground for a few moments, everything was passing in a blur.
And then pain split his head and he finally felt himself touch the ground. Dizziness overtook him and he saw the badger turning towards Foxstar. He made to get up, but his paws wouldn't listen to what he told them to do. Everything slowly went black.
