The Last Hope

In The Last Hope, Ivypool is training the apprentices of the Dark Forest, when Applefur appears with her apprentices, Blossomfall and Hollowflight, and states that the two want to battle Dark Forest warriors instead of apprentices. Tigerstar appears and states that the apprentices need to know each others' moves in case they need to fight alongside each other. He orders the apprentices to wake up back in their nests, because there is a private senior warrior meeting going on. Ivypool insists that she goes because she is a mentor, but Mapleshade dismisses this. Ivypool eavesdrops as Brokenstar explains the Dark Forest's master plan, using his claws to create a diagram. They agree to attack at the very heart of the Clan. After all of the cats leave, Ivypool sneaks forward to take a peek at the diagram, but is awakened by her sister, Dovewing. Jayfeather debates whether to go to the Moonpool or not, as he was asked to step down from being a medicine cat due to Dawnpelt's false accusations. Briarlight urges Jayfeather to go to the Moonpool, but he dismisses this. He heads out of the hollow, but realizes that Firestar is following him. Firestar speaks to him and he decides to go to the Moonpool. Yellowfang tells him he must tell Dovewing and Lionblaze about the prophecy. He asks her to talk to Flametail, but due to the boundaries in StarClan, she cannot help him. Later in his dream at the Moonpool, Brambleberry tells him that they must unite all the Clans together as one to fight the Dark Forest. After that, he has another dream, but this time, in the Dark Forest. Brokenstar appears and shows Jayfeather the training warriors and apprentices. Jayfeather is horrified as he realizes that so many cats are training from each Clan, secretly training at night while their Clanmates are sleeping. Before his dream ends, the Dark Forest warriors lunge at him and hit him as a wave. He then wakes up, blind again. He finds Mothwing at the Moonpool, and she asks if he is alright. Mothwing is aware that something is wrong with the Clans, and Jayfeather confirms this. He reveals all of the secrets to her about the Dark Forest, the final battle, and their own Clanmates training with the evil cats. Mothwing observes that many of her Clanmates act odd lately: restless and argumentative. Jayfeather tells her that her brother Hawkfrost is in the Dark Forest.
