The rogues (SatS)

"It's the kind of 'nonsense' that we all live by. With pride and honor. Without it, we'd be pitiful and lost, just like you."

After the Flood

The rogues are a rogue group that attacked SkyClan in After the Flood.

Description

The rogues are a group of vicious rogues, led by an unknown cat. They are a fairly large group of about eight cats, strong enough to consider attacking a Clan-sized group. Like most rogues, they don't believe in the warrior code.

History

In the SkyClan and the Stranger arc

After the Flood

"These rogues are deadly. They'd have to be....even to think of assaulting a group as big as ours. But, hungry and exhausted though we may be...we have an advantage they don't. We have something to fight for."

―Leafstar thinking about the rogues ^{After the Flood, pages 69-70}

While out hunting with Leafstar, Sol catches the scent of an unfamiliar cat. The pair investigates the trail, finding that it leads along the SkyClan border to the abandoned Twoleg nest. The scent cuts out at the edge of the clearing where the nest stands, and Leafstar and Sol head back to camp, reinforcing their border markers along the way.

Later, the rogues are spotted by a SkyClan patrol, who go to warn the Clan. When the rogues arrive, Leafstar calls out that they are under attack. She organizes the Clan into battle positions, and it isn't long before the rogues reach the camp. The leader tells SkyClan to give up now and save themselves, but Leafstar says that SkyClan will defend their home with their lives. The leader orders their group to attack.

As SkyClan battles the rogues, Leafstar thinks that these rogues must be deadly to even think about assaulting a group as big as theirs. However, she knows that SkyClan has an advantage because they have something to fight for. As she leaps at the rogue leader, another group of SkyClan cats arrive at the gorge, giving the Clan another advantage. A yellow tabby shouts that there are too many of them as the rogues begin to flee. Leafstar sends the rogue leader off with a bite to the tail. As the leader and their rogues leave the gorge, they ask the SkyClan cats if they're too scared to finish them off. Sharpclaw tells them that according to the warrior code, a warrior does not need to kill to win. The leader asks them what this nonsense called 'the warrior code' is, and Petalnose and Sparrowpelt step up to tell them that the code is what they all live by, with pride and honor, and with StarClan watching over them. The leader's last remark before disappearing is that they're certain that the Clan cats have all lost their minds.
