"Stupid Twolegplace. Stupid city." hissed Ratchet, taking a furious swipe at a cluster of grass in the Twoleg park. "Where can a cat find some decent herbs around here?" He meowed out loud to himself, his gruff voice giving out a hint of desperation.
Never had the ThunderClan medicine cat felt so useless before. Both Prowl and Bumblebee were sick with greencough and he could barely find a pawful of helpful herbs in the Twolegplace. Sari tried to help them but her moonstone was only helpful on open wounds, not sickness. The greencough had gotten worse in the last couple of days and Ratchet was worried that the ShadowClan and WindClan warrior wouldn't make it if not treated soon.
It was times like this when Ratchet would seek out the guidance of StarClan at Highstones. However, there was no Highstones in these place. Could StarClan even see him and his team in this Twoleg ridden place? What kind of medicine cat was he if he couldn't share tongues with his warrior ancestors?
"Where are you, StarClan?" Ratchet yowled up to the dark skies, his voice filled with anger towards his silent ancestors. "I've tried to follow your prophecy! I've led the four cats to the fallen star! Now what?! Do you want us to die here? ANSWER ME!"
When the stars remained silent, the old medicine bowed his head, overwhelmed by a wave of loniness and betrayal.
"Perhaps, I'm just too old to hear StarClan's voices anymore?" Ratchet quietly meowed to himself. "Perhaps I should have listened to Sentinel and retired to the Elder's den when I had the chance?"
"StarClan's voice shall always reach you, Ratchet, whether it be in a whisper or shout." purred a voice. A familar scent washed over Ratchet causing him to blink and swiftly glance up to stare around him.
"Inferno?" Ratchet meowed, glancing around. Inferno had been a young ThunderClan warrior who had been killed during the battle with BloodClan. The medicine cat saw no one, but a soft breeze caressed his fur and urged him forward, towards the bushes.
As if in a trance, the ThunderClan medicine cat trudged forward, ignoring the branches that tugged at his fur and scratched at his skin until he made it to the other side. What awaited him was a sight to behold.
It was a Twoleg fountain, but unlike any that Sari had shown the team. Four lions of legend stood guard at its center, each carved out of stone. Slowly, Ratchet made his way to the fountain and jumped upon its stone edge and looked down. A pool of water with stars reflecting off its surfaced gazed back at him.
"Drink." A voice murmured.
Trembling with anticipation, Ratchet bent down and lapped up the star-lit water. It tasted of ice, stars, and of the night sky. A chill went through him, from ear to tail tip, and a familar feeling of lightness spread through him. When he opened his blue eyes, he saw that he was no longer alone.
Along the stone edges of the fountain, stood the ranks of StarClan. Each cat gleamed with stars shining off their pelts and gazed at Ratchet with warm gazes. Ratchet caught the sight of Inferno; the young red-furred warrior was blinking happily his old medicine cat. One cat stepped forward ahead of the rest. Ratchet recongnized him as the old leader of WindClan, Prime Nova.
"StarClan will never abandon any of their loyal warriors." meowed Prime Nova, his normally hostile eyes now warm. "We have always watched over you, Ratchet, as well as the rest of the chosen cats. You only needed to find us."
Ratchet twitched his whiskers and, for the first time in a long while, felt a sense of peace go through him.
"So I have."
Since the episode, "This Is Why I Hate Machines", I've been itching to draw some TFA Warrior Ratchet. The grouchy cat needs more love. Help you guys enjoy!

Oh he looks adorable in the pic!! And what a good lil snippet there! I must, I'm still twisting in anticipation at what will happen next in those other two stories-the one with OP and Killer Bee and ESPECIALLY that one with Sari, Blurr, and (a currently sparkless) BB
He reminds me of my cat, Mashka. She was grumpy and old; made Ratchet look nice! Very cute picture, I love the way he looks and the background is amazing.

Please forgive me for the sorrow,
For leaving you in fear,
For the dreams we had to silence,
That's all they'll ever be,
Still I'll be the hand that serves you,
Though you'll not see that it is me.
