Note: Any SunClan roleplayer can bring ONE loyalist or neutral Warrior or Initiate of your choice to be part of Bloodystar's patrol. Only cuz I want this patrol to stay rather small!
"I cannot believe that Duskslayer would pick these dank tunnels over the sunny skies of SunClan..." Bloodystar muttered as he continued to lead his patrol of SunClan Warriors (and the odd Initiate) deeper into the Renegade Regime's tunnels. After receiving his nine lives, there was more pressure than ever to select his Promised, and the choice was clear as day to him. Duskslayer. The tom had saved his tail on more than one occasion and was considered among his closest of friends. Dusky's decision to take himself and his mate, Unseenlights, to another group had nearly broken Bloodystar's heart; however, as they say, if you love someone, let them go... until the time comes that you need them back.
The tunnels were widening and what had been a muddy floor was now solid stone; the pawprints of many generations of Regime cats coming and going was as good a guide as arrows, "They should be spotting us soon," Bloodystar addressed his patrol, "Do not raise your claws toward any cat. You are here to guard me, not start a war."
There was a thud from behind the SunClan patrol, standing there was Zion. He was a white tom with tall arctic fox looking ears and long sheepdog bangs covering his eyes completely, but somehow he must have seen them through his curtain of hair. "Did Firetooth out me? Listen the Regime had nothing to do with it. I was being threatened and I had no idea what the heck he had planned. I mean, I could guess, but I didn't think it was that. I mean... He was a medicine cat who would of guessed!?"
The tom stared nervously at the patrol, clearly he had heard what happened to SwiftClan and thought maybe, whatever he did was coming back to bite him. Interestingly he didn't smell like the Regime, it was an indistinguishable scent like the smell of the tunnels, as though he lived there.

By the time the tom stepped into sight, it was far too late to back out again. He'd heard the sound of voices, and naturally, chosen to investigate. As fate would have it, that choice brought Lex, Dusky's adoptive father and a SunClan deserter, face to face with Bloodystar's patrol. The large silver tabby's eyes narrowed in an instant, mismatched yellow-orange and orange-amber eyes peering at the self declared Priest with not a shred of love lost in his eyes. It never ceased to amaze him how his son would hang out with the cat before him.
As an ex-SunClan cat, this also meant he recognized instantly that the tom was no longer wearing the paint of his rank, but that of the High Priest. "You're not welcome here."

Innocentlament stepped up beside of her brother, putting herself between the Regime cats and Bloodystar. Her fur laid flat her green eyes calm and collected despite the hostile welcome "We are not here to stir up trouble" she replied calmly before stepping aside to allow Bloodystar speak for himself. She carefully eyed the renegade regime cats, a silent promise that while she wasn't here to fight she would do exactly that if needed
Bloodystar narrowed his eyes at the white-furred tom. He didn't recognize him, but he had implicated himself as at least a bystander to one of Firetooh and Autumngossamer's schemes against the Sun God. He opened his mouth to question him further by Lex appeared instead which was certainly the hotter of the two commodities, "So this is where you crawled off to, huh, Darkcomplex? Funny, Duskslayer never mentioned you being here... he must have just forgotten. But what my sister says is true. We mean you no harm on this visit, although you in particular would be wise to watch your tail. I'm not as soft as Littlecrow when it comes to SunClan fugitives."
His steps were silent as he trailed Bloodystar in the back of the patrol. Ghazen eyed the Regime cats as they approached. The initiate's pitch black coat made him nearly invisible in the tunnels. Only his icy eyes showed revealed his location by sight. He had no personal issues with the Regime. He just decided to come for the fun of it and whatever chaos ensued.

Lex didn't stand down, rather, simply remained standing, claws extended, in the path of him going further into the tunnels. "Threats in unfamiliar territory are the epitome of arrogance, Bloodyrondo. I'd say you should know better, but you were never very bright." If this was where he died, protecting the grandchildren that the tom before him didn't even know existed, then that was it.
"If you wish you speak with the Regime, Littlestar can come request an audience herself. The Regime lends their ears to leaders, not dictators." Of course, as usual, Bloodystar was probably too self-important to consider the risk. Shule had taken lives from both Foxbane and Funk in their leaderships with such little resistance it was almost laughable. If he truly thought the Commander would give him an audience, especially after locking up a queen and taking her kits for himself, he was sorely mistaken.
"Littlecrow killed the Sun God. We are SunClan. It is an unforgivable offense, and I was within my rights to execute her then and there, but I did not. Instead I put her in prison awaiting the judgement of our benevolent deity. I personally rose to the challenge of looking after her kits. And you dare call me a dictator when I have been nothing but merciful?" Bloodystar took the bait hook, line and sinker. He was nose to nose with Lex with his tail sticking straight in the air, although his fur was flat, calm, if a fight broke out now he was confident he would win, but that was truly the last thing he wanted, "I do not seek an audience with Shule. I am just here to collect Duskslayer and Unseenlights as per our agreement, then we will be on our way. Either bring them to me or move aside so I can find them myself."

"I think you forget I don't bow to you or your useless god. His death is the best thing to happen to SunClan in moons, and it was more than deserved. Not my problem that you're beyond delusional. I wouldn't call it mercy to scar your leader in a weak state for doing what is right. I wouldn't call it mercy to imprison any and every cat who so much as dares to call you out on how wrong you are, because deep down you know you're wrong, and you're just too far up your own ego to admit it. I wouldn't call it mercy to take in her kits and brainwash them into thinking a god who would toss them aside in a heartbeat is someone they should aspire to be." Bloodystar may have thought he was intimidating, but if Lex had any fear of god or leader in his lifetime, such things were so far gone from him now. "You have no dignity at all, and you've no right to be here. I'll let Dusky know you were here, and then he can decide if he wants to go back. You can either wait back in SunClan for him to either come or not, or if you push further, you can deal with my claws. Commander Shule made it very, very clear she has no intentions of letting you stay for any length of time."
He wasn't going to stand down. If Bloodystar wanted him out of the way, he would be forced to attack the tom who raised Dusky, or make someone do so. Which, considering the situation, and the fact that Lex was a deserter, the odds that the relation between father and son would dissuade the Priest much... likely wasn't that high.
Zion raced past the patrol and went straight to Shule to let her know about their guests and their intentions.
Duskslayer swung his head back, fastened in his fangs was a squirrel caught by the neck. With a final slam to the earth the small rodent was stunned before he carried out the final bite. It was a little method to keep prey from realizing they were in pain. Licking his lips he carried his kill back into the dark tunnels, good-bye sunshine. He didn't head in through the normal entrance, always preferring to walk a little ways out towards the garden so he could pick up any herbs for Damek-tyke on the way home. He had quite the assortment of prey on his back. His kits were picky eaters or knew he gave in easily. They all liked a different kind of prey, in fact Astrid-tyke only liked brown squirrels, this was a black squirrel so he was going to have to strip the meat off before she realized otherwise. But hey, weaning them off slowly into solid foods was a big milestone if it meant spending some extra time hunting than so be it.
Turning down a corridor he gasped coming face to face with a white transparent cat. Its muzzle twitched, almost in amusement before it turned around down the tunnels. This wasn't the first time he'd seen the white cat. Setting down his prey now that it was in the safety of the Regime he headed after the cat, but soon he was racing as it picked up speed. He had to kick his legs a few times to keep his balance as he weaved around the sharp turns of the tunnels, but he was beginning to gain on the cat. His tongue moved to the corner of his mouth, he'd never caught this mysterious cat before, gotchyah. He leapt forward in a single bound, but in mid air, too late, he realized the cat had stopped and soon enough he was colliding not into, but through a tunnel wall.
To the left tunnel wall Bloodystar could just hear the crash moments too late as the left wall exploded out at him with debris and a very dusty Dusky colliding into him. The dust was still settling, but Duskslayer could tell there was a crowd, "Wow, I was just leaning into this wall and it exploded. Someone... Someone's going to hear about this," He said awkwardly cause he definitely didn't just bust a wall open with brute force, nope... As the dust settled he saw his dad who hopefully wasn't judging him. But then noticed a familiar face... "Everlastingfire in the flesh, no friggin' way!" Duskslayer tackled his friend again, as if that was necessary, "How've you been!? We HAVE to catch up," He enthused before noticing the paint, "whoa are you a priest now?"
Bloodystar's shock of the wall crumbling to his left was quickly replaced with relief as he realized Duskslayer had found his way to him all on his own. He turned away from Lex, trusting the rest of his patrol would take care of that piece of work should he try anything funny, and rubbed his cheek against Dusky's in greeting, "I'm so happy to see you! Yes, I am Priest now, I'm shocked you haven't heard when Darkcomplex here knows all about it. Since I'm Priest, I figured I aught to summon you home personally, seeing as you will be my Promised," He paused, letting his words hang in the air for a moment, then added with a touch more urgency, "You will be my Promised, right? There's no other cat that could do the job."

Lex turned slowly to Dusky, though the tension in his body didn't lessen in the slightest. He loved his son, but unfortunately, there were those, even his own kits, who were blinded by the toxic friendships they were part of. "I would think long and hard about that decision, Dusky." The tom's voice was low. "He imprisoned Littlestar, scarred her and separated her from her mate and kits. Your in-laws are most likely either run off or imprisoned themselves. And if you ever disagree with him, everything of yours can be taken away in an instant. It's Foxstar all over again, and it was bad enough the first time."
Duskslayer didn't just have himself on the line anymore. He had his mate, he had his kits. Lex would never return to SunClan because of what had happened there. "There's a reason Autumngossamer left, that Littlestar killed SunClan's god. That Shule doesn't want the majority of SunClan, or this tom anywhere near the Regime, now or ever." The Scout wouldn't stop his son, if that's what he wanted, but Dusky knew Lex would keep him safe, even at the cost of his own life, and that he would never recommend turning against SunClan lightly, he knew how much his son cared. But, even his son had to doubt going back, when he'd gone to the lengths he had to have his kits in the Regime, to have them out of SunClan's grasp.
He laughed with faint embarrassment, wow, he was behind on the news, "No I've been-"
"Since I'm Priest, I figured I aught to summon you home personally, seeing as you will be my Promised."
It was an unspoken rule that this was an honor that wasn't allowed to be turned down. Turning it down was basically the biggest slap in the face, not just to the priest, but to SunClan. If you turned it down you had to be dying or dishonorable.
"Yeah, yeah, no, let's just" He looked at his dad, that was a lot of good points, "talk about it first. I've been so far from SunClan that naturally I just feel a little unworthy so I just want to make sure I'm still right for the job like you remembered me," Duskslayer said, mainly to buy himself time, "Although if I'm being honest, and I know this sounds cheesy, but if I'm accepting this I kind of want to talk to Lights first. Wouldn't feel right accepting it without her around and all. Here ummm..." He needed to distract Bloodystar, just for a moment so he could talk to Lights alone. He couldn't go forward with anything without her approval, they were a team now. But also Bloodystar and him were a team. Maybe he'd have to take business trips... No, there was no way Bloodystar would allow that.
Duskslayer led Bloodystar quickly into a right wing and into a small den, "Here, this is Sean's rock collection room, no one really goes in here, I'm going to go grab Lights real fast. She's further down the tunnels and I know my mom wouldn't let you down there so I'll be quick," He promised, slowly backing out of the room before making a mad dash down the tunnels until he got into range of post kilo, "LIGHTS! Lights! Bloody's here with a patrol of SunClan cats and also he's priest now and wants me to be priest promise and we're not really able to say no to that, but we have kits and also you and the kits shouldn't make that kind of walk back to SunClan yet and I don't want to leave you here when I know you're not entirely settled in."
He realized he was talking too much, "What I"m asking is, this is a lot to take in, but what should we do. I think I have to go and I think even if I didn't have to go that Bloody's my best friend through thick and thin, I gotta go with him soon. But I also think that you and the kits shouldn't have to be a part of this if you don't want to so what would you like to do?"

Unfortunately for this whole situation, Lex wasn't the only one there.. guarding the side room Dusky shoved Bloodystar into. Zion had gone to Shule... and pretty much the moment she'd heard Bloodyrondo's name, well, she'd gathered Sentinels, Mercenaries, and the like to go confront him. Namely, she intended to bring him to prison.
It was rather lucky, of them to arrive on the scene, and soon, the Commander was stepping into the side room. Shule's expression was colder than eyes and harder than diamond, pale blue eyes piercing and authoritative. She was a militant leader through and through, stoic and unshakeable. And after having dealt with Foxstar's SunClan, she was more than prepared to deal with Bloodystar's. "We can make this easy, or you can do it the hard way." The ebony feline stepped forward on her four pristine white paws, three scars over her heart, perfectly straight, where she'd made them when she became Sentinel. "You're not welcome here. Surrender now, and you won't be hurt more than necessary."
Kaisra was a half step behind and to the left of her mother, peeking at Bloodyrondo with a chaotic smile. In SunClan, this would have been seen as wonderful, in the Regime it just made her look a touch unhinged. She knew how much Dusky cared about the tom before her, so she hoped the Priest would step down and let Dusky handle this one... when Dusky showed back up, anyhow.
Rising like a shadow at his commander's back, Mercenary Superior Undertow stood wary. He hadn't been in the Regime when SunClan had attacked the first time.
But he was familiar with what SunClan was capable, what Bloodyrondo was capable of, and the black tom was not going to be far from his commander's side in case she needed him. So he stood and waited, ready for when the order came.
Bloodystar had opened his mouth to defend himself against Lex’s slander, but, before he could say a word, Duskslayer started rambling about his worthiness and Unseenlights, “Dusk---”
Cut off once more, Bloodystar was whisked him away into a side chamber he hadn’t even known was there. Now he found himself separated from his patrol and in a room with no escap... outside of the now heavily guarded opening he had entered, “---slayer...”
He blinked as he watched the dark-furred tom weave his way through the assembled Regime cats and disappear into the darkness.
“Who the hell are you?”
Startled, Bloodystar whirled around to see a dark-furred she-kit with electric blue eyes glaring up at him. Evidently she had been in the chambers before he had entered, “I’m---”
But before he had a chance to complete the introduction, in walked Commander Shule, and his eyes snapped to her ebony-furred form. He felt out of breath even though he couldn’t have walked more than a couple of fox-lengths in the past few minutes. He lashed his tail in annoyance even before his new company opened her mouth.
“You’re the one making this hard,” Bloodystar replied, his tone-absolutely no-nonsense, “This has always been a condition of Duskslayer’s stay in the Regime. You can ask him yourself: He has been allowed to live here until such time he is summoned back and now is that time. We plan to leave peacefully as soon as Duskslayer and Unseenlights have collected themselves. There’s no reason to-- Ow… OUCH!”
The dark-furred she-kit was gnawing on Bloodystar’s hind leg. When he whipped around to look her in the eyes, she released her grip for a moment and hissed, “I’m not letting you take my mommy and daddy away, you scoundrel! Surrender now or face my wrath!”

Unseenlights has been in the nursery, gently apply a salve to Damek’s dry skin when a flurry of footsteps approached through the tunnels. She bolted up right pulling the two kits nearby to her side wrapping her tail around them protectively, her fur bristling until Duskslayer’s scent filled the air “Thank goodness it’s you, are you ok?” She questioned, he fur starting to fall flat nuzzling against his cheek until he began to speak “Dusky...” she trailed off really not sure what to make of all this “But he... Dusky Bloodyrondo imprisoned Littlestar, stole her kits, imprisoned her family and mine, and you want to take our kits back there?!?!” She trusted her husband completely but what he was saying didn’t make any sense, they had come here to make sure their family was safe and now they were wanting to throw them back into the fire?Faith
"No, also WHAT!? Why has no one shared this news with me? Everyone I pass by is suddenly an expert about SunClan politics and I haven't heard anything..." He slowed in thought as realization came to his mind, "And I'm slowly realizing that the reasons probably that my mom and dad were keeping the news from me so I wouldn't worry about it."
He sat down, rolling his head back against the tunnel wall, his dizzying stare moved up to the ceiling, it's what he did in thought, Unseenlight's could tell from the sound of his tail sweeping across the floor like a ticking clock. But it didn't take long for him to recollect his thoughts. "It doesn't matter what Bloody did, he's my best friend. If he's going down a dark path right now I'm want to be at his side. He didn't need to come looking for us, but he came all this way here because out of all the cats in SunClan he needed me most. He's going to get himself killed if I don't go, I'd never get over that. But you're right, the kits-"
"OUCH!"
Duskslayer's ear twitched, "Was that Bloody?" He found his gaze instinctively move to check his kits, but almost immediately he noticed Allaria gone. "Allaria's gone," He said, his heart losing a few beats. If this was a story she would be right next to Bloody, but that wouldn't happen, that would only happen in comedic fables. Right? He licked Unseenlight's on the side of the cheek "Lights I'm going out to find her," As he backed up to the tunnel entrance he called back to her, "We'll circle back to this, I'm not doing anything without you!"
Duskslayer sprinted back down the tunnels, all the way scanning his vision for any detection of a small kit with no luck until he steered back over to where he left Bloody. Only now as he was approaching he scent his mom and sister.

Kaisra couldn't help it. Seeing Bloodystar, a tyrant, immediately brought to a halt by her niece that was a hysterical scene, even knowing that the words Allaria spoke put her in direct danger of going back to exactly the place she'd been kept from, and for good reason. All the same, Dusky's sister basically doubled over, laughing at it all. In a way, it was a much needed break in the tension, however momentary, though it ultimately didn't break the stalemate the SunClan Priest would be utterly unable to win. When she'd caught her breath, the Sentinel blatantly ignoring her mother, knowing the look in the corner of her eye. If someone didn't get the kitten away from Bloody soon, Shule would go on a rampage.
So, still wearing a smile of mirth, she sheathed her claws and took a step forward, then two, then she was halfway between Bloodystar and Shule, extending one paw face up, no claws. "Allaria, come here." Rather than looking at the kitten, however, she looked to the tom with an even expression, not friendly, but not hostile like the Commander behind her. The egyptian blue eyed feline took another step forth. Waiting. Patiently standing there, waiting for Bloodystar to either doom himself to death by harming the kit or taking her hostage, or giving her back and taking her out of harms way. He hadn't killed Littlestar's young kits. So she hoped he'd make the right choice here, though the decision between certain death and not seemed rather obvious to her.
Unfortunately for Dusky, the situation was much worse than just his relatives. A few Mercenaries milled about outside where the little staredown was taking place. Lex was near the entrance too, peering in, and one or two Guiders were trickling into the scene, carrying herbs in anticipation of a fight. Shule hadn't skimped on the precautions, and the situation, at the very best, was dire.
Stepping out from the darkness to join his sister, it was difficult to see the young tom that now stood by Allaria's side if not for his brightly colored blue eyes that stood out even in the darkness of the tunnels. Where ever his trouble making sister went, there was little doubt that Hakoda was not to far behind. He hesitated a moment, not joining in on the attack of the stranger until Bloodyrondo started to move. His fur bristled outwards, leaping into action and standing between her and Bloodystar's head so that if her turned around to bite or swipe at her he would be between them. He puffed himself up making himself look as large as possible, his claws coming out as his hissed showing his teeth.
Before Unseenlights could even react to his decision, he began to race off down the tunnels "Bring them back safely" she called after him worry starting to eat away at her
