💫TIME MACHINE💫 COMPLETE 72 HOUR WARRIOR CATS CANON AND OC AU MAP

SUMMARY
Time travelling Warriors OCs pop out of portals to change spots in canon, save lives, try to prevent bad things, and have a bit of silliness. The crystals on their foreheads show the viewer who's an OC and who's a canon cat. The crystals let the OCs see possible branches of the timeline. (Yes, there is a little bit of Rick and Morty inspiration in this)

The MAP was not scripted—each participant was allowed to change whatever event for whichever cat they liked.

COMMENTARY
WOOF here's another one finished! @giingersnaps was my awesome cohost yet again, make sure to sub to them if you aren't already because they are irreplaceable. Everyone showed so much enthusiasm and got their parts done SO quickly, I am extremely thankful to all of our wonderful participants. Watch until the end for an extra surprise these crazy fools made of their own free will. You'll see we had a bit of fun with this MAP XD Don't forget to check out the channels if you see any unfamiliar names!

Later edit: Some time ago I saw a concern that because some cats had their canon disabilities prevented, this is erasing the representation of disabled characters in the story. This had not occurred to me when I was approving ideas for parts, but now that I've heard it said I think that's a great point and I should've encouraged ideas in another direction. This is on me, NOT any of the participants who I told their idea was fine without realizing. In respect of all of this, I ran the second Time Machine MAP differently, and in the info sheet about spin off MAPs I encourage any other hosts of these MAPs to do the same.

Using the powers of the time travelling portal cats, I’ll comment before the map premiers cause I’ve seen it :)
Guys, this came out amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better team of animators to work with! Thank you for helping us make our ideas come to life!
Thanks again to Willow for having me as a cohost again! I don’t know what if do without a friend like you! ❤️
Also can we appreciate the credits Willow worked on? She did it all herself and came up with all those witty and funny headlines! I think it looks amazing!

Hope you guys enjoyed the map! Excited to work on more projects like this in the future!

Fun Fact! The moth wing at 1:41 is actually the wing of a moth in the tiger moth family, probably a Phileta Tiger Moth wing or a Garden tiger Moth Wing. Very interesting detail, especially because Mothwing and Hawkfrost are actually in the tiger family tree! Very cool!

Alternative title: if every single bad thing in Warriors never happened

[sugarrmoon]

Moral of the story: OCS are much better than Starclan.

[Blixemi]

ahhhh this is such a cute and unique concept! And everyone did such a great job on their parts!! Oh I just love this!!!

[batfnk]

time machine map, or as i like to call it: starclan callout post

[BlackieSootfur]

Consequences be damned! I love this idea, it's exactly what i would do if i were a cat with time powers and also in the world of warriors

[redundantchannels]

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THE AMAZING RHYMING IN THE CREDITS

[unsocialpebble]

If this were to actually happen in warrior cats, would you think they’d add to their religion off it? That “cats descended from the stars arrive to save what would be lost”, or something like that. Would star clan be concerned or thankful of these mysterious being coming to help clan cats in need? Would they be considered to each have their own category, some perceived as “tricksters” and some others as guardians (example for “tricksters” at 2:43 due to Bluefur, and the others not understanding why the OC is taking their mouse). That’s one reason I love this map so much! It brings questions into my head, as such said. Not to mention that amazing artwork and animation in this! Ahhh it’s so amazing! I love it!

[purrfectpal]

The way they scared off Sharptooth is actually the new canon.

[mlpwolfiathewolfgirl]

This is literally every warrior fandom dream, interfere with every event of the series and save our beloved characters from certain doom or mistakes

[VelvetyAngel]

2:21 this part broke my heart. It would have been so amazing if someone helped Mapleshade and her kits

[Saga_Anserum]

My favorite part of all this is how the canon cats are like
":o"

[AlaOst]

This is honestly one of the best Warrior Cats MAPs I have ever seen
The concept is PHENOMENAL (I really hope there will be part 2 hehe) and everyone did amazing!
Also, the vines at the end are gold and I love them with my whole heart

Wow, Jixxi is killing it with those colors and angles! Thanks for saving Swift baby! It almost makes me wonder what would happen if he never died. Would he and Brightheart become mates since Bluestar would never name her Lostface so Cloudtail wouldn't start taking care of her? That would be so interesting, and Cloudtail could go with Daisy after Daisy gets ignored by Spiderleg. Man, now I want there to be an au of that!!

Me: *sees the premiere*
My mind: * screaming inside*
My friend: everybody prepare your ears!
Me: *verry loud scream outside*

Ashfur looked at the moon, triumph in his gaze. The stars were sparkling bright tonight, as they reflected off the lake and grass. *Today is the gathering. Today is the day Squirrelflights lie will be revealed.* Ashfur remembered when she had admitted it. *The flames crackeld as Ashfur began to pelt out of camp. Run! Gotta run! The flames started licking up the trees and home. My home is being destroyed! He looked at the sky, terror washing him. Lightning had struck a tree, starting the fire. Thunderclan had been sheltering, chatting and glancing looks at the trees and sky, until it struck. His paws thrummed the ground, his pads burnt. He plead faster, and then halted. He looked down, and froze. It was Squirrelflight. Squirrelflight and her kits. “I’ll push down this branch!” She yowled to her kits, starting to push it down. Ash fur leaned closer, and Squirrelflight looked up at him. “Ashfur! Help me push this branch!” Ashfur started pushing the branch down, but a thought washed in him. This is the perfect time to make her pay! He imagined shoving the three Into the eating flames, their mother watching in horror. He’d tell her it was to make her how he felt all along. How it felt to be alone and rejected. How she’d left him. A growl rumbled in his throat. As he pushed the branch down, he leapt on it, blocking the kits way out.* Ashfur shook away the memory, but then that one statement echoed in his head. *“They are not my kits. They are not my kits. They are not my kits.* Anger surged him, and he swatted his paw at the river. He was plunged into yet another memory. *He leaned close to Squirrelflight as she walked by. She inched away, and looked down. “Ashfur...I have to tell you something.” Ashfur leaned in, hope sparking him. Was his love going to ask to be mates. She looked down, and sighed, “Ashfur… I...I am Brambleclaws mate now.” Ashfur froze. What? She’s his mate? He shook his head, and looked at Brambleclaw in the warriors den. He felt no hate torwards him. None. It was all towards Squirrelflight. His fur fluffed up. “But I thought you’d choose me!” Anger surged him. He got ready to tell her one promise… she would live to regret it. Not Brambleclaw. Her.* Ashfur then remembered when he was in the flames, he had told her some of that.* “you think I’ve never forgiven Brambleclaw for stealing you from me, but you are wrong, and so is every cat who thinks so.” *Then, his last promise to her. He had promised he would tell all the clans at the gathering. Tonight. He sighed, and looked at the moon. A rustling made his turn, and he looked in the bushes. *Nothing.* All of a sudden, something rammed into his side. It was a cat he never saw before, white and brown with blue eyes, a desperate look in its eyes. Ashfur looked to the side, and saw the cat disappear in a disk of blue. Something else leapt, and Ashfur looked to the side. *Hollyleaf!* “What are you doing?” He hissed. Hollyleaf stepped back, guilt in her gaze. She pelted off into the forest, and Ashfur stared after her. She wanted to keep the secret safe. Ashfur rose to his paws, and looked at the lake. *I won’t tell them… I never will. I will keep that secret safe. I’ll make sure my clan survives.*











White storm felt fear flood in him as Bone raised his paw. *This is it. I will not survive.* The screeching sound of battle was ringing in his ears, and his gaze was a blurry red. *I was never meant to be leader. That is Graystripes Destiny.* Bone smirked, his black and white pelt fluffed up, reddened with the blood of Warriors. Whitestorm saw Firestar pelting over to him. *It’s too late… don’t waste your time with me .* Firestar was a desperate look in his eyes, his paw pounding the earth, tearing grass and dirt. The orange tom was covered in wounds all over. *Please… don’t risk it.* Whitestorm pleaded silently. Bone started to slash his paw down. White storm remembered his life. He remembered how he lost his mother. White kit was in the nursery, waiting for his mother to get home. * “Tigerkit, guess what!” White kit sqeauled. “What?” Tigerkit asked. “Snowfur is going to bring me a gift today!” He replied. “What type of gift?” Whitekit swatted his paw at Tigerkit, amusement bubbling inside him. “I don’t know, silly!” He snorted. Snowfurs scent reached him. “She’s here!” He got up, ready to greet his mother. Blue fur walked in, sorrow in her gaze “Whitekit” Whitekit tipped his head. “Is Snowfur with you?” Bluefur looked down. “Come outside, little one” Whitekit felt excitement surge in him. “Has Snowfur got a present for me?” Can I come too?” Tigerkit asked. Bluestar shook her head. “Just White kit” Whitekit followed Bluefur, asking, “What is it? Where’s snowfur? Is she playing hide and seek?” Bluefur dipped her head, and pulled Whitekit towards her. “Come here… Snowfur won’t be coming back..” She said quietly. “Till when?” Whitekit asked. “Never.” Sorrow filled her gaze. “Why not?” Tears filled his gaze. “Doesn’t she like me anymore?” Bluefur swallowed. “She likes you very much...and she’ll always love you.” She turned her head and screwed her eyes. “She’s in starclan now.” Whitekit felt tears drip down his fur. “Can I go visit her?” Bluefur shook her head, her eyes closed. “Goose feather and Featherwhisker visit Starclan all the time. I can do it to.” He protested. “It’s not that easy….” She looked at Whitekit, tears In her gaze. “She’s dead Whitekit.” Her voice broke off into tears. “You won’t see her anymore You won’t smell her or see her or hear her or brush your fur against hers ever again.” A brown she cat stepped out. “I’ll feed you, and you’ll share your nest with Frostkit and Brindlekit.” Whitekit felt horror plunge in him. “I don’t want your milk or your nest! I want Snowfur!” He pelted over to his mother, and promised, “I’ll live out here now! With you.” He pushed his nose in his mother’s fur, tears dripping down his cheek.* Whitestorm felt sorrow plunge in him. He closed his eyes, ready for the end. All of a sudden, he felt the weight get off of him. He saw a tail disappear in a blue disk. *Who was that? Who saved me?* He looked up in surprise, and looked at Firestar. With the surprised look In his and Graystripes eyes, Whitestorm knew that they had saw what happened. “I made it.” He said, dazed. He would keep his promise to his mother. * I will always live with you. I always have. You were always here with me… in my heart… and in that promise… I made long ago*

Stormkit ran, his eyes wide with fear and terror. *We can’t be caught!* Goosefeather, a mouse brained fool, was chasing Stormkit and Oakkit. Storm kits paws thrummed on the earth, and he was panting with fear. Oakkit ran a few fox lengths in front of him, his pelt fluffed up with dismay and horror. He was breathing heavily with fear. The Sun shone above, and the sunlight glared into his eyes, making it harder to see. Goosefeather let out another snarl, his paws thrumming faster and faster. Closer and closer. Stormkit sped up, his paws running across the smooth grass. But his pads were sore, whatsoever. As if he’d ran around sunning rocks 9 or 10 times. They neared the River, but Goosefeather got closer and closer. Stormkit closed his eyes, fear racing in him. Off in the distance, a wired, spinning blue portal whisked on the tree branch. Stormkit reared back in shock as a black cat, with orange ear tips and a gem above its eyes, popped out of the portal. A Outline of a crow fluttered out, its gentle and soft feathers cutting the air. It swept down, leaving a light trail behind it. *what in the name of starclan is happening?* Stormkit thought, his pads pricking with shock. The crow dove down, right into Goosefeathers face. Goosefeather reared back in shock, and turned around, pelting back to his camp. *yes!* Stormkit thought. He crouched down and leapt on a rock. It was slippery. He kept his paws on it and Leapt on the next one. Soon enough, he was safe on the other side. Panting with relief, he followed Oakkit into camp. Rainflower whipped her head around to see Stormkit. Relief flared into her eyes. She turned away From oakkit and dashed to Stormkit.
“Oakkit said you were following him, but you never came back! But I knew you’d come, I knew it!” She purred. Stormkit smiled. He was happy. So happy. He was Stormkit. The loved and wanted.

[imkindacold-]

The fact that Cinderpelt supposably could never be a warrior is a load of crap because guess what? Deadfoot of windclan, WINDCLAN where they almost always require running.
