===In the Super Editions===
====Ivypool's Heart====
:Tumble Leap is a wildcat who is in the captivity of Twolegs together with his mate, Stalk Purr, and a variety of other animals. The questing cats find them inside of a Twoleg den, and Stalk Purr reveals that she and Tumble Leap have had two litters of kits, none of whom survived, and will have a third. Tumble Leap explains that Twolegs destroyed much of their former home, and other wildcats left to find a better place, but they never came back for him and Stalk Purr. When Whistlepaw draws StormClan's symbol, Tumble Leap is shocked, and Stalk Purr reveals that their group came from StormClan. When Whistlepaw asks if they know where the Star Tree is, which is where wildcats commune with their ancestors, Tumble Leap and his mate look dejected and reply that they do not know. He explains how he once lived in a large group that functioned like a Clan, and their elders went to speak with their ancestors at the Star Tree; he had been there once as a kit. The questing cats later ask if the wildcats can join them on their quest, but they refuse, as their Twoleg is terrible but still keeps them alive. The Twoleg soon comes, and Tumble Leap tells the cats to leave, as it is feeding time.
:Later, when the questing cats find themselves in the place of the wildcats' ancestors, Galestar tells them to help Stalk Purr and Tumble Leap, as their kin helped her. Icewing says that they do not seem to want to be freed, but Galestar states that they will not refuse once they find out that the Twolegs will take their kits. When the questing cats return to where Tumble Leap and Stalk Purr live, the tom is surprised to see them. The two wildcats are incredulous that the cats spoke to their ancestors, but when Ivypool tells them that the Twolegs will take their kits, Tumble Leap is solemn. Ivypool continues that there are more of their kin living nearby, and that they could live in a Clan again. He grows hopeful at this, and the two wildcats agree to join the questing cats, so they devise an escape plan.
:Two sunrises later, the cats prepare to free the two wildcats. When the Twoleg opens the cage door, Tumble Leap and Stalk Purr attack the Twoleg, and the cats escape and must leap up a wall. They are uncertain if they can jump that high. The Clan cats encourage them, and the wildcats make the jump in one graceful leap. They continue running towards the sun-drown-water. Tumble Leap and Stalk Purr later find fresh water, and the Clan cats are impressed. Tumble Leap says that these instincts are deeply ingrained in them, and his mate adds that they are taught to honor the natural spirits. Rootspring says that he has a lot of respect for the wildcats, and Tumble Leap replies that he also respects the Clan cats. They hunt, and Tumble Leap says that they need to thank the spirits for their prey. They talk companionably as they eat, and the Clan cats tell them about Galestar. Tumble Leap states that some wildcats tried to look for the Clans once, but to no avail, resulting in them believing that the Clans were just stories. He thanks the spirits of nature for bringing the wildcats and the Clans together while Whistlepaw thanks StarClan.
:When the cats arrive at a Thunderpath, Rootspring tells them to stay back, and a monster comes without warning. Tumble Leap asks Rootspring if he knew it would arrive, to which Rootspring explains how he can see ghosts, and Tumble Leap is surprised and curious. They escape from Twolegs, and right afterward, Stalk Purr's kits start to come. Tumble Leap is anxious at how much pain his mate is in, but Icewing assures him that even healthy births hurt. When their first kit comes that night, Tumble Leap's eyes shine, and he names the tom-kit Hunt. The second kit, Stretch, then comes, but the third kit is motionless. Whistlepaw gently grasps the kit and swings them, and they soon let out a squeak. Both wildcats are stunned and overjoyed; they name him Pounce. The next day, Tumble Leap and Stalk Purr sit together, beaming over their new kits. He tells the Clan cats that they will present their kits to their ancestors, as wildcat kits are only given their first name by their parents, while the other half is decided by their ancestors. Later that day, they decide to send two cats to go find more wildcats, and Tumble Leap volunteers, but Ivypool says that he should stay. He wishes Ivypool and Icewing luck when they depart.
:After the two cats find the wildcats and return with Strike Slash, Wish Stalk, Claw Stretch, and Prowl Sleek, Tumble Leap and the other cats are relaxing outside of the cave. The wildcats introduce themselves to Tumble Leap and Stalk Purr, and they are glad to meet each other. When Dovewing asks if they have mentors, the wildcats explain that every cat is assigned to one of their ancestors, who come to the kit. When they enter the place of their ancestors, Prowl Sleek tells the spirits that Tumble Leap, Stalk Purr, and their kits are joining their group. The three kits are given ancestors to guide them, and Purr Roll and Leap Growl then step up. They explain that they once watched over Tumble Leap and Stalk Purr and will now watch over them again. As the spirit cats fade, he and Stalk Purr thank the Clan cats for freeing them from captivity and giving them a true home. They bid farewell to each other, and the two wildcats join their kin.
