Ok, so Into the Past is pretty obvious in an obscure way. Basically, Firestar, Brambleclaw, Graystripe, Sandstorm, Squirrelflight, and Leafpool from after The Sight are in a meadow before Into the Wild occurs. Also there are Bluestar, Redtail, Crookedstar, Oakheart, Brokenstar, Blackfoot, Tallstar, and Deadfoot from before Into the Wild. They are all there to read seven books that Yellowfang- her spirit comes down from Starclan -delivers to them. The list of books is as follows:
#1: Into the Wild
#2: Fire and Ice
#3: Forest of Secrets
#4: Rising Storm
#5: A Dangerous Path
#6: The Darkest Hour
Super Edition: Firestar's Quest
I may go further, but I can't promise this. If I do, more characters from after The Sight such as Crowfeather, Stormfur, Brook, etc will be there. But as that water has yet to reach the bridge, we'll let it be for now. Onward, MARCH!
Chapter 1: Into the Past
Firestar was in his den talking to Brambleclaw- his deputy, Graystripe- his best friend, and Sandstorm- his mate -about the gathering that had just happened when a bright light appeared and swallowed them.
Squirrelflight was pacing anxiously while talking to her sister, Leafpool, about her son, Lionpaw, when a bright light appeared and swallowed them.
Bluestar was discussing Riverclan with her deputy, Redtail, while walking through the forest when the scenery changed and they were in a meadow she didn't recognize.
Crookedstar was discussing Thunderclan with his deputy, Oakheart, while walking along a riverbank when the scenery changed and they were in a meadow he didn't recognize.
Brokenstar was growling angrily about Windclan at his deputy, Blackfoot, while walking through the pine trees when the scenery changed and they were in a meadow he didn't recognize.
Tallstar was discussing Shadowclan anxiously with his deputy, Deadfoot, while walking along the gorge when the scenery changed and they were in a meadow he didn't recognize.
Bluestar was standing in the meadow looking around when Redtail called out sharply, "Bluestar! Crookedstar and Oakheart are here!"
She spun around and demanded the two cats, "Where are we? Why did you bring us here?"
They stared at her in astonishment, and Crookedstar asked, "Why are you asking us? We don't know where we are." Bluestar gaped at them, then demanded, "And you two?" The Riverclan cats looked at her, confused, when they heard a familiar rough tone say behind them, "We could ask the same of you." Looking around, they saw Brokenstar and Blackfoot, and coming into the meadow behind them were Tallstar and Deadfoot.
"Right," Bluestar started, "So none of us know what in Starclan is going on?"
"Correct," a voice said from beside her, and she spun around to stare at Shadowclan's medicine cat, Yellowfang. Only, she wasn't exactly Yellowfang. The cat was starry, and looked like she belonged in Starclan.
"What do you mean?" Tallstar questioned.
"You are all in Starclan." The she-cat stated matter-of-factly. "We have decided to bring you here to- "
"We?" Brokenstar questioned harshly. "You were still alive last time I checked."
Yellowfang chuckled softly and told them, "I will explain fully when the last six cats arrive."
"You are bringing more?" Crookedstar asked. "Why? All the leaders and deputies are here."
She smiled, amused, and told them, "Not quite. There is still one more leader and deputy to come, and they are not even all of them."
"Meaning?" All eight cats questioned, frustrated. The old cat was telling them nothing!
Yellowfang sniffed as she told them, "Surely you don't think you can live forever."
Brokenstar opened his muzzle to demand that she tell them what kind of trick this was- he was her leader, after all -when a bright light appeared.
The first thing Firestar saw wasn't a thing, but a cat.
"Blackstar! What is the meaning of this? We just formed a truce! And after all that-" He suddenly found a tail in his mouth.
"Firestar, take a closer look at those two cats. What is wrong with them?" A low, familiar voice murmured in his ear.
"Yellowfang?" He gasped, turning to look at his old friend. "Where are we? What happened? Why-"
"Patience," the yellow-gray cat murmured, "All will be revealed."
Meanwhile, all the other cats were studying the new arrivals in shock. Blackstar? What was the orange male going on about?
"Now," Yellowfang told them, "I'm sure there are questions. If you will ask me, I will answer to the best of my abilities."
"What did the cat mean, calling me 'star'?" Blackfoot questioned. The she-cat smiled sadly and told him, "That will all be revealed later. Next."
"Who are they, and where did they come from?" Bluestar asked, causing four of the strangers to gasp, "Bluestar?" which caused the other two to gasp.
Yellowfang said, "Everyone, introduce yourselves, names only."
Everyone shot her a confused look before complying.
"Bluestar."
"Redtail."
"Brokenstar."
"Blackfoot."
"Tallstar."
"Deadfoot."
"Crookedstar."
"Oakheart."
"Firestar."
"Brambleclaw."
"Graystripe."
"Leafpool."
"Sandstorm."
"Squirrelflight."
"So, you are all warriors?" Tallstar asked the six strangers.
"No," Firestar replied, shaking his head. "Leafpool is a medicine cat."
"Is that it?" Yellowfang questioned. As all of the cats nodded, she continued, "Good. Now, reading is something twolegs do. They make something called paper out of trees, and put markings called letters, which make up words, on the paper. Paper, when it is used to copy down a story, becomes a book. When they comprehend them, they are reading. Starclan has brought you all here to read seven books, maybe more. They are all about a house cat named Rusty. Try not to-
"Break it up!" She screeched. "Sandstorm, stop acting like a kitten in the nursery and get off of Brokenstar."
The other cats all looked around to find the sandy colored cat tussling with Shadowclan's leader, hissing angrily at him, only to separate when Yellowfang told her to. She had been on the receiving end of those claws before and had no inclination to do so again, even if she wanted to tear him to bits. Honestly, taking Thunderclan kits!
"Good." Yellowfang said matter-of-factly. "Now, as I was saying, try not to kill each other. Everything will work out. The time you are in is before the first book. And now, begin."
And with that, Yellowfang disappeared.
There we are! I can't say that I will be updating frequently, as I have three other stories to update, and those are just the published ones, but I will not abandon this story!
