Episode 3, also known as Unsheathe Your Claws, is the third installment of the Half-Clan Hero series. It succeeds A Secret Revealed and proceeds Are You My Sister?

## Detailed Summary

Lionfang and Flamefur are chatting about how well their apprentices; Wildpaw and Darkpaw are doing, and Flamefur mentions that if there's a battle anytime soon (which is likely, according to him, because it appears that DayClan cats have been hunting over the border) though Lionfang doubts there will be a battle soon. Just as he says this, Silverstripe comes running to them and reports that there are DayClan cats at the border attacking them. At the border, Birdstar angrily confronts Spottedstar, who says that DayClan deserves a piece of territory, and will fight for it. During the battle, Wildpaw is pinned down by a DayClan apprentice called Nutpaw, whom he saves himself from by knocking the tom unconscious. Nutpaw's sister Nightpaw is about to attack Wildpaw, however both cats stop in shock, hearing a DayClan warrior shouting that Spottedstar has lost one of her lives. Though it is not confirmed, a paw that looks suspiciously like Birdstar's is at the scene of the crime. After Spottedstar wakes up she orders DayClan to retreat. The next morning Birdstar announces that Wildpaw and Darkpaw will become warriors for their bravery.

Notes:

Episodes 1 and 2 did thank the thumbnail artist in the outside credits, however episode 3 was the first to also thank the thumbnail artist in the inside credits.

Although the inside credits inside put Darkpaw's voice actor as moonshine34, the outside credits call his voice-actor -Moonleaf. This is because the user moonshine34 moved accounts to -Moonleaf.

Both the inside and outside credits put Wildpaw's voice actor as flubbystar22, though the user has also moved accounts to -HallowsAVE-
