Exile from ShadowClan/Part 3

==Chapter description==
:Cinderfur and Runningnose come to Nightpelt asking for advice on what to do next as they are tired of the constant fighting that is destroying their Clan. Nightpelt realizes the only option is to fight, though Cinderfur and his Clanmates are hesitant since that goes against the warrior code. Cinderfur resolves to talk to Brokenstar instead, but Nightpelt isn't optimistic. Three days later, Nightpelt comes across Clawface who has stolen four ThunderClan kits to raise as ShadowClan apprentices.
:Nightpelt is resolved more than ever to fight against Brokenstar. He argues with his campmates about the morality of breaking the warrior code to overthrow their leader when Yellowfang charges into camp. Yellowfang insists she didn't kill Brightflower's kits and they now have a chance to help ThunderClan save theirs. Nightpelt agrees to fight alongside Ashfur and Dawncloud. They meet up with Whitestorm and his patrol of ThunderClan warriors and ask for their help in overthrowing Brokenstar in exchange to help them rescue their kits. Nightpelt hopes that Cinderfur and the others will help them once the battle commences.
:At ShadowClan's camp, Nightpelt, Ashfur, and Dawncloud trick Blackfoot by pretending Yellowfang is their prisoner. While Brokenstar confronts Yellowfang, Nightpelt spots the kits' prison and motions to Ashfur and Cinderfur. Yellowfang attacks Brokenstar and the battle commences. Whitestorm's patrol arrives to help and the battle turns in their favor. Brokenstar drops that he killed Raggedstar and Brightflower's kits, and the rest of the Clan turns on him. Brokenstar and his allies flee, and ThunderClan returns home with their kits.
:The elders return to camp, and ShadowClan begins to slowly rebuild. With the whole Clan's support, Cinderfur and Runningnose ask Nightpelt to become ShadowClan's leader now that Brokenstar and Blackfoot are gone. Nightpelt is hesitant since he wasn't named deputy and StarClan hasn't sent a sign, but Runningnose and Cinderfur are certain of their choice. Nightpelt agrees and promises to name Cinderfur his deputy. After the Gathering, Nightpelt and Runningnose head for the Moonstone. Raggedstar greets Nightpelt in StarClan, but insists he cannot grant Nightpelt his nine lives since Brokenstar is still ShadowClan's true leader and StarClan cannot choose leaders for the living cats. Runningnose insists that ShadowClan still needs Nightpelt, and Nightpelt vows to do his best to lead ShadowClan until its true leader rises.
