This takes place about eight or nine moons after Bramblestar's Storm. To make it easier on me since I don't live in the UK, I'm going to treat the Clans as if they live around a lake near Raleigh, North Carolina. After a huge storm hits the lake, a tree collapses on one of the cabins at the lake resort humans go to each summer in the series, killing a child and two adults. Another tree collapsed closer to the water, crushing a boat and severely injuring several humans. Following the storm, government agents from Raleigh start visiting the lake resort briefly, doing things the warrior cats don't understand. After one of the security guards of an agent kills a warrior of ShadowClan, the Clans decide they are going to attack the humans and drive them away from the lake resort. They fail, losing many warriors in the process. This failed attempt reveals their society to the government, who decides to capture all of the warrior cats and attempt to domesticate them. As the government begins capturing warriors (and killing those who prove to difficult to capture), the Clans decide that they will try one more time to rescue the captured warriors and defeat the government agents. They manage to free some of the captured warriors, but are forced to retreat when one of the guards threatens the life of a captured warrior. They make one final attempt to rescue all warriors, almost succeeding, before coming to the realization that these Twolegs will not be easily defeated. After a leader loses their final life trying to escape from capture, the Clans decide they must either continue fighting a hopeless battle or leave the lake. Meanwhile, the government has grown tired of constantly fighting to capture these cats. They set one last round of traps and send out one last group of humans to do one last capture sweep. They then make the decision to kill any cat they cannot capture, with their reason being that they wish to demolish a part of the forest (ThunderClan's territory) in order to make way for construction vehicles to come and expand and repair the lake resort. The lake Clans finally decide that they must leave the lake, and begin a long and treacherous journey. By this point, news of the oddly social cats has spread, and other government agencies have developed an interest in capturing the cats- more for research into their abnormally social personalities and tendencies than to domesticate them. On top of these agencies being interested, the Clans must pass through many famous, albeit dangerous, metropolitan areas across the country. Because of the mass changes the allegiances will undergo during the story, I may interject the plot with updated allegiances after the Clans begin their journey.
