Previously on Tom:

Squirrelstar, leader of ThunderClan and mother of none, loses her nine lives in a single moment from what else but rapid aging. Upon her death our supporting character Birchfall must appoint a new deputy. The choice is clear. Although Handsomehandsome had never trained his own apprentice, he was the Clan's new deputy. In a jealous rage Lionblaze attacks Handsomehandsome. Foxleap leaps in front of our favorite feline to intercept Lionblaze's powerful paws. The pregnant tom is thrown aside.

Handsomehandsome returns with his own fury to avenge the pain Lionblaze had inflicted upin his fiancee and unlocks a superpower that no cat knew he had. His blue fur and cyan eyes turned red and his golden pelt darkened to bronze and his paws wielded fire. Alas, he was no match for the glorified Lionblaze. As Lionblaze prepares to finish off the weakened warrior, Jayfeather and his mother Leafpool shoulder their way in to stop him.

In their attempt to protect Handsomehandsome, Jayfeather reveals his worst secret: He is the father of the golden-blue tom.

Chapter 26 of our sort-of gary-stu trollfic titled "Tom"

"What do you mean?" Lionblaze asked in shock. "He's our brother?"

The small medicine cat nodded, his blind eyes looking up to his tall brother. The ThunderClan cats slowly swarmed around them listening to the dark secrets unfolding. Foxleap winced as he sat propped up by Ferncloud. His amber eyes gazed sadly at the unconscious body of Handsomehandsome. He reaches a paw out to his love, but Ferncloud advises him to not her any closer to Lionblaze.

"It's a long story," Leafpool meowed, her tail twitching nervously. "We don't have time to talk now beca-"

"We have time!" Lionblaze growled.

Birchfall gulped. He needed to receive his nine lives at the Moonpool, but didn't risk his life and the life of his deputy by standing up to Lionblaze.

"Well you see, Lionblaze," Jayfeather said, "Handsomehandsome is my son. Bramblestar wasn't his father and Squirrelstar isn't his mother. I broke the code."

"With Willowshine I presume?" Dovewing asked, her blue eyes rolling.

Jayfeather hissed in her direction. "No! I hate that RiverClan scumbag."

Lionblaze glared at the other Powerful Three cats. "Shut up, Dovewing." He said.

Dovewing cringed and hid behind Bumblestripe.

"So what do you mean by 'I can't let you hurt our brother' when he's your son? You medicine cats need to stop being so metaphorical!" Lionblaze insisted.

"Leafpool is his mother." Jayfeather explained.

"Leafpool?"

"Breaking more codes, huh?"

"Bouncing back from Crowfeather?"

"She should be exiled!"

ThunderClan began yelling insults and harsh words at the she-cat.

"Lolololol," Toadstep laughed.

"This is so going on Kitter and Facepaw," Cinderheart giggled as she held up her Catphone 5, recording the swarm of cats brining Leafpool with critising hatred.

"Everyone, quiet!" Birchfall yelled.

They all stopped and turned towards the tabby.

"Leafpool, Lionblaze," He looked at the two cats. "You are exiled!"

The Clan gasped in shock and surprise. Lionblaze didn't know what to say, so he walked out of the camp never to be seen again. Leafpool however began to protest. All the cats began pushing her out of camp. Finally this she-cat would be gone for good!

"Jayfeather, we are going to the Moonpool. Now." Birchfall demanded.

Jayfether muttered angrily but exited the camp with Birchfall.

"Ferncloud is in charge until I get back or if Handsomehandsome wakes up before I return." The tabby added.

When the two cats were long gone on their short journey to the Moonpool, Ferncloud took her place on the Highledge.

"Okay, first things first!" She yowled. "We need this place cleaned up! Mop up that blood and dust the dens. My son's getting married soon! And move Handsomehandsome to the nursery with Foxleap. Cinderheart, you used to be a medicine cat, so tend to their wounds. We have a wedding to plan!"

The dappled she-cat leapt from the Highledge leaving a trail of kits as she went from den to den checking up on the progress.

Meanwhile, at the Moonpool, Birchfall confronted Jayfeather.

"Hey, Jay, do you have any advice for me?" Birchfall asked the medicine cat who had served under three different leaders.

"Yes. As a leader the only thing that will for sure grant you eternal leadership forever is to never, ever, and I repeat NEVER do this one simple mistake: There is alw-"

"No, stupid-head," Birchfall said. "Love advice. Half Moon and Briarlight are in love with you and somehow you seduced Leafpool. How can I had my true love fall in love with me?"

Jayfeather shook his head and gazed down at the sparkling puddle of water with his blind eyes. "Who is it?"

"I love Gaystripe," Birchfall said.

Jayfeather glanced sideways at him. "Alrighty then."

"I reaaallyyy like him, Jayfeather. Is there like an herb that makes your-"

Jayfeather grasped Birchfall's head with his paws and shoved his muzzle into the Moonpool. The tabby flopped over as the water went up his nose making him dream with StarClan.

Meanwhile, back at ThunderClan camp...

Handsomehandsome was dying. Foxleap watched over him whilst crying.

Bluestar looked down at the couple from StarClan. He still hadn't fulfilled his prophecy. Just then Birchfall appeared for his leader ceremony and she had a wonderfully terrible plan.
