A.N. Hello guys! I've got some quick things to address! To the guest reader "WoahItsClover": Thank you soo much for all your OCs, they're absolutely lovely. There's just a few problems. 1.) I already have a Foxtail in the story, so maybe some other name ideas could be Redfire, Firepelt, Rowanflame, or Fuzzytail if you still want his bushy tail. and 2.) I already have a cat with the prefix Flower- so how about Daisypetal or Lilypetal or Daisystem or Lilystem. Or legit any specific flower with one of those suffixes lol. Other than that, I'll try to use them as soon as you let me know which names you like. As for DragonRaid and , they look great and I'll try to get them in as soon as possible. And to Idkwhatmylifeis: Thank you so much! That's great to hear.

Leafpool awoke to Spiderstar being gone, so she stood up and stretched her limbs before padding out of the den. She was absolutely shocked to see the clearing bustling with so many new cats.

"Wha-" she mewed.

"Oh Leafpool! Spiderstar told us to not bother you because you were up late with Fawnheart examining the new cats." Adderstrike bounded over.

"Yes... who are all these cats?" Leafpool asked as a small light brown tom padded up along with Sunpaw.

"Leafpool, Leafpool look! StarClan has blessed us with so many new cats joining the clan!" Sunpaw bounced around. "This is Bristle!"

"Hi there! I can't wait to get my full name like Sunpaw said and help out."

"Yes, hello." Leafpool meowed. She glanced around and saw Spiderstar talking to an older looking dark gray and white she-cat and a distraught looking dark mottled brown she-cat. "Can you give me a moment?"

Leafpool padded up to join them.

"Hello, is everything alright?" Leafpool asked kindly.

"No! My mate and my friend are lost and you need to find them."

"Clover, I promise you we will find them. I sent out a patrol of my best cats and they will bring them home safe. Now, head back to your kits. As for you Minnow, I will set up a group to dig out that bush over there for a den for you." Spiderstar meowed. The dark gray she-cat, Minnow, nodded and Clover sighed and retreated back into the nursery. Leafpool almost thought to follow her, but then thought of her daughter. She trusted Stormheart could handle it.

"Leafpool, get Adderstrike and Hollyleaf and dig out the bush and turn it into a nice warm den please." Spiderstar meowed before Leafpool could say anything. She nodded and went to look for her other daughter. An elders' den! That's what they'd forgotten.

"Adderstrike! Spiderstar wants us to turn that big bush there into an elders' den!" Leafpool called to the deputy. She then saw Hollyleaf emerging from the warriors' den, so she beckoned her over.

"Hey, do you know where Fallen Leaves is?" The black she-cat asked.

"Probably on a patrol. There's new cats, but part of their group is missing." Just as Leafpool said this, a patrol being led by her eldest daughter's mate came into camp with two other cats. Perhaps those were Clover's two? Fallen Leaves took the cats over to Spiderstar and Minnow and Leafpool saw Minnow shake her head. Leafpool sighed and started her work with Adderstrike and Hollyleaf.

Later that day, just as Leafpool and the others were finishing the elders' den, Spiderstar called a meeting.

"All cats here willing to fight off the dark please come to this clan meeting." Leafpool padded over and sat down beside her son Dustcloud, who had returned only a bit earlier with two other cats, who also were not Clover's mate and friend, but Spiderstar had decided to let all four of those cats stay. Slowly, every cat emerged, even Clover and three its and Doestep, though her newborn was not around.

"Cats of LightClan. We have been given gifts from StarClan in each of the following cats and now they must be given names. First, we got four lovely cats last night. Strike, Splotch please come up here?" Spiderstar called. The calico she-cat and her brother padded up.

"Strike, you will be known as Strikefang. You will stay in the nursery until your kits are born and care for them for six moons. Once they are six moons old they will be apprenticed to be taught by the other warriors and you will become a warrior yourself. And Splotch, you will be Splotchface. You will be shown how to be a warrior starting tomorrow. Now..." Spiderstar put his muzzle on Strikefang's head. "Lick my shoulder." She did so and then Spiderstar did the same to Splotchface and Leafpool began the chant, soon joined by the rest of her knowing clanmates. The others followed after a second.

"Strikefang Strikefang! Splotchface! Splotchface!"

"Go ahead down." Spiderstar told the two. "And Dexter and Hunter!"

The two toms padded up and Spiderstar smiled.

"I've given much thought to your names and I have two picked out for each of you, I just wish to ask if you would like to keep your kittypet roots?" Both toms shook their heads.

"I want to start anew. Whatever you wish." Hunter meowed.

"Me too. I want a full warrior name." Dexter meowed.

"Very well. Then Hunter, from this day forth you shall be known as Owleyes. And Dexter you shall be Tigerstripe." They did the same as Strikefang and Splotchface and the clan chanted. Once they stepped down, Spiderstar's eyes scanned the cats below.

"Minnow?" The older she-cat made her way up the fallen tree.

"Minnow, you are a bit old to be taught the warrior's physical ways, so you will become an elder. They are well respected and get to rest, but we will have some cats come and teach you the rules of the code still. You will be know as Minnowstream."

"Minnowstream! Minnowstream!" She stepped down.

"Clover!" Spiderstar meowed. The mottled she-cat stepped up.

"I promise you as I promised before, we will find your mate and friend, but for now... what are your kits names and how old are they?"

"Ember, Lark, and Dawn. They are three moons old..."

"Lovely names. Until they are six moons old they shall be know as Emberkit, Larkkit, and Dawnkit. Once they turn six moons they will take on -paw instead of -kit and each be given a mentor to be taught how to be strong warriors to protect the clan. Once their training is complete they will receive full warrior names. As for you, you will be known as Cloversong. You will move to the warrior den once your kits are apprenticed as well." Cloversong nodded and licked Spiderstar's shoulder once he put his muzzle on her head.

"Cloversong, Cloversong!" The clan chanted and she stepped down.

"Bristle and Flint!" Spiderstar meowed. The tom Leafpool had spoken with earlier walked up along with a pale gray tom.

"Bristle, you will be given the name Bristlefur. Flint, you will be Flintstorm. Fight proudly for your new clan." Spiderstar went through the routine with the two of them as well.

"Bristlefur, Bristlefur! Flintstorm, Flintstorm!"

"And earlier today, we found four more cats on our territory who also wished to join our clan. Pine! Tawny!" The two cats Fallen Leaves had returned with stepped up.

"Pine, Tawny. You two wish to join our clan?"

"Yes." The two said together.

"Then you shall be known as Pinefall and Tawnymoon. You shall protect the clan."

"Pinefall Pinefall! Tawnymoon Tawnymoon!"

"Leo and Zack!" The two cats Dustcloud's patrol had returned with stepped up and Leafpool could now see they were kittypets like Owleyes and Tigerstripe had been.

"You two wish to join our clan and leave behind your kittypet names like Owleyes and Tigerstripe?" Spiderstar asked.

"Yes." They meowed in unison.

"Then Leo, you shall be Whitehawk and Zack, you shall be Longfoot!"

"Whitehawk, Whitehawk! Longfoot, Longfoot!"

Once they stepped down, Spiderstar looked around the cats below and Leafpool could see he looked tired.

"And since I'm up here, two of our apprentices who have been with us for a long time. Mousepaw! Pebblepaw!" Leafpool felt her son's fur puff up proudly beside her as the two apprentices padded up.

"Dustcloud, Larchbreeze... you are the mentors to these two. Do you believe they are ready to become warriors?"

"Yes." Leafpool's two kits meowed.

"Then from this day forward Mousepaw you shall be known as Mouseleap and Pebblepaw, you shall be known as Pebblestep. May our StarClan ancestors look down on you all and accept you as LightClan warriors."

"Mouseleap, Mouseleap! Pebblestep, Pebblestep!"

"Now, as clan tradition, newly named warriors watch over the clan through the night in a silent vigil. But seeing as we just named so many, we will only make the apprentices do so. Sorry Mouseleap, Pebblestep." Spiderstar gave a little laugh. Mouseleap and Pebblestep nodded, but said nothing.

"Thank you for being with us through all of this. May all the newly named warriors become strong LightClan warriors! Tomorrow at moonhigh we plan to invade Dark and his cats and take back the LightClan name completely! Get some rest and be ready warriors! I believe in you!" Spiderstar finished and Leafpool and the rest of the cats all cheered. Spiderstar leaped down and padded into his den below the fallen tree.

"Leafpool, Leafpool! When will I be made a warrior too?" Sunpaw raced over.

"I'll talk to Spiderstar after the invasion about doing your warrior assessment." Leafpool promised.

"Okay!" Sunpaw meowed happily and went off. Leafpool smiled as she watched him go, then went to the freshkill pile to get some prey for her and Spiderstar before going to join him in the den.

"You did well..." Leafpool mewed quietly as she saw her mate laying down in his nest.

"Thank you. I just tried to remember the way Firestar and Brackenstar used to talk while doing the ceremonies."

"Yes, every new leader learns with time. But I think you did very well, my love." Leafpool laid down next to him with the food. The two ate in silence for a while.

"Do you believe we are ready for the invasion Leafpool?" Spiderstar asked finally.

"If what Strikefang said is true and Dark and his cats are sick and weak, then yes. I think now is the best time to fight. If it wasn't, we'd get a sign." Leafpool assured him. Spiderstar finished his prey and licked his paw before drawing it over his whiskers. Leafpool began to groom him.

"Yes... I was thinking of going to ThunderClan, maybe the rest of the clans as well tomorrow to tell them of the invasion, just to warn them beforehand to be safe. Would you like to come?"

"Of course. It'll be nice to see what ThunderClan have been up to all this time... how long has it been?"

"I believe about a moon. The gathering was last night and all I could do was think about it. Especially Fernpelt and Hollysong." Spiderstar admitted.

"Oh..." Leafpool hadn't even realized it had been a full moon. "It hadn't crossed my mind. But... I do think about them and my sister and the others."

"Can you believe that once this is all over we're going to be a new clan? The fifth tree is waiting for us at Fourtrees, er... I guess it's Fivetrees now."

"Yes... it's all so hard to believe. But it's the way things are going to be from now on."

"I still can't believe I'm a leader. I had never even imagined this would happen. During my lives ceremony I saw so many cats... they gave me my nine lives... my mother and father, my siblings... they were all so proud. I worry I will disappoint them. Disappoint the whole clan. I mean... I'm Spiderleg, not Spiderstar!"

"Oh stop it. You are an amazing cat and I'm so proud to be your mate and to have you by my side through all of this. Light picked you to lead her clan because she trusts your judgment and loyalty to the code. I think you've been doing wonderfully!" Leafpool comforted her mate.

"Thank you Leafpool, that means a lot to me. My family said you were an amazing cat and that they were very happy for me. I'm glad to have you by my side as well and I hope to have you with me through the rest of all my nine lives." Spiderstar nuzzled her. Leafpool purred and nuzzled him back.

"I love you, Spiderstar."

"I love you too, Leafpool."
