==Synopsis==
At the start of a war, an adventure seems fitting for Gerald.

==Plot==
===Chapter 1: The New Citadel===
Me, Binta, Gabriel, Lluna, Stella, Jayden, Kenney, Ender, Sonja, and Witherstorm walked along the concrete path. The path connected Elliottown and the Citadel, which were completely parallel with each other.
"Oh my goodness! I can't believe it!" exclaimed Gabriel.
"Can't believe what?" asked Binta.
"I'm about to enter the CITADEL!! THE CITADEL!!" screeched Gabriel.
We were about to enter the Citadel when a man fired several arrows from his bow at us.
"HAAAAALT!" yelled Randy. 
"Randy! Are you stupid? That's Gerald!" exclaimed Von.
"Open the gate!" yelled Kyle. 
The nether brick fence blocking the entrance disappeared before our eyes.
"How is that even possible?" asked Stella.
"Gods, the Four Dangers, I'd believe anything," replied Jayden.
"You barely saw anything, buddy. A huge cluster full of strongholds, mineshafts and dungeons? Alternate worlds? You name it, we saw it," Witherstorm explained.
We walked into the Citadel. 
"Okay guys, there's one condition you have to follow. Even you Binta," I told everyone.
"What is it?" asked Ender.
"NEVER GO IN THERE!" I yelled.
I pointed at a curved structure. It was grey with a white outline and had an orange interior line. It had nether brick fence sealing the entrance, and two menacing guards blocking it.
"W-what is it?" stuttered Gabriel.
"Kinda looks like my old city's mineshaft entrance..." gasped Stella.
"Wait, what happens if we DO go in there?" asked Ender.
"Well don't," I replied.
"Yeah, but, what happens if we DO?" asked Ender again.
"Doesn't matter, just don't," I replied.
"Yeah, but what would happen if I DID go in?" asked Ender.
"Doesn't matter, you DON'T go in there," I replied.
"Yeah, should we, like, go now?" asked Kenney.
We all left the Citadel.
===Chapter 2: March to Elliottown===
"Yeah, it was nice to catch up with Von and the others again," stated Kenney.
"Yep, and we learned Randy was stupid for putting that building in the Citadel where EVERYONE IN THE WORLD can go inside!" I yelled in frustration.
"What even is in that building?" asked Stella.
"Doesn't matter. Never go in there. Whenever you think about going in, don't," I told her.
"But what happens if we DO?" asked Ender.
"Just shut up already! Don't go in there! End of!" I yelled.
"I usually stay away from creepy buildings anyway. Us villagers usually stay in our homes, but, I'm glad I live in Elliottown!" stated Jayden.
"I'm really glad to live in Elliottown too! We have everything there! A farm, a ranch, a CAKE FACTORY, a lighthouse, a beacon, just everything!" explained Gabriel.
"Gerald, we should probably just go straight to our house," Binta suggested.
"Nonsense. Got another adventure planned," I told her.
"But, what about Elliottown?" asked Gabriel.
"We'll tell them what we're doing and elect a temporary leader," I replied.
We all walked into Elliottown. It was still amazing.
"You know what? I'm tired. Wake me up when it's adventure time," Stella told us.
She walked into her huge llama house.
"Well, goodbye then," I said.
We looked around Elliottown, admiring its glory. Something caught our eye. There was a new house. A rather dangerous house. It was a floating skull with tentacles to support it, vines growing off, and lava pouring out of its mouth. Jude, Tom, Axel, and Jimbob were standing around it.
===Chapter 3: Skulls and Tentacles===
"I wonder who built that!" exclaimed Witherstorm.
"Whoever did, we need to tear it down," said Binta.
"Yeah. It's dangerous," Sonja replied.
I walked over to the guys.
"Gerald!" yelled Jude.
"A little louder! What's going on?" I asked.
"Okay, so, SuperLaserGuy came back, and built this... this thing!" yelled Axel.
"It looks cool!" exclaimed Jimbob.
"Yeah, and it's also dangerous," replied Jude.
"I hate lava! I keep falling in it!" yelled Tom.
"Then how are you still alive?" asked Jude.
"I don't even know," replied Tom.
"I have a solution," I told them.
I dug up the ground, causing the lava to form a lake.
"That's safer, I guess?" Jude stated.
"So, where is Laser? Haven't seen him since we built this place," I asked.
"Wait, didn't he build an orange house?" asked Gabriel.
"He gave it to two other people. Girls, about your size, Gabe. Then he built that awesome tentacle skull thing. Then he left again," explained Jimbob.
"Well, we're going on an adventure now. Would you guys be happy to keep watch here?" I asked.
"Certainly," replied Axel.
"So, I was thinking of staying here with Sonja to, well, watch things here," stated Kenney.
"C'mon, we should all go!" I stated.
"I mean, the minecart seems pretty full, so," Kenney replied.
"We're not even going in a Minecart!" stated Gabriel.
"It's a metaphor," Kenney told him.
"Well, goodbye, then," I said.
===Chapter 4: Love a Good Fjord===
Me, Binta, Stella, Jayden, Lluna, Witherstorm, Gabriel, and Ender headed off into the blank world.
"Guys, this world is too boring," I pointed out.
"It's all flat. You have a point. But Elliottown and the Citadel can compensate!" exclaimed Gabriel.
"You know, we could always add more stuff, after I blow up this world?" I suggested.
Stella jumped.
"What?" asked Stella.
"We could blow everything up, and leave only Elliottown and the Citadel behind," I explained.
"That... sounds like a great idea," Binta told me.
I used the levitation ability to lift everybody off of the ground.
"BOOM!" I yelled, as the entire world blew up.
Everyone was shocked. It was all reduced to a layer of bedrock.
"You... you really blew it up..." Jayden gasped.
"I thought you were joking," Ender told me.
"When I say something, I mean it. Like when I meant I would stop the Redstone Rapperz from invading," I explained.
"They said they'd be back!" exclaimed Witherstorm.
"Doesn't mean anything to me. I could just wipe them all out in one second," I replied.
"What are we going to do with all of this? asked Gabriel.
"We're going to make a new world," I told them.
"But what about people who left for an adventure? You could've killed people!" exclaimed Ender.
"They'll be fine," Binta replied, in my defense.
I clapped my hands, and as I did, a huge forest appeared before us.
"Whoa..." Stella gasped.
"We could add tons of things! Rivers, mountains, fjords... I love fjords!" I yelled.
I clapped my hands and a fjord appeared. It was time to go wild. I turned to Elliottown and placed a mountain.
===Chapter 5: Time For A New World===
As I placed more natural wonders; jungles, deserts, ice spikes biomes, rainforests; the world became vibrant and lively. Animals spawned everywhere, Villagers started to build houses and farms, and parrots flew in the air.
"It's amazing!" Binta screeched.
I clapped my hands, and we all landed back onto the ground.
"Now, I want to make it a bit more convenient to travel to the Citadel," I told them.
I clapped my hands, and both towns disappeared. 
"ELLIOTTOWN!" yelled Ender.
"THE CITADEL!" yelled Witherstorm.
"Where did they go?" asked Stella.
I clapped my hands, and they appeared again. This time they were vertically opposite as opposed to Elliottown being behind the Citadel. A road connected both towns. 
"That... was... amazing..." gasped Gabriel.
"No kidding!" exclaimed Jayden.
"You might wanna be careful with that tool or you'll get it lodged so far down you're throat you'll be digesting it," said a voice. 
It was a female voice. It couldn't have been Ellis.
===Chapter 6: Max and Chloe===
We turned around. There were two women. One with brown hair and the other with blue hair.
"Who are you?" asked Ender.
"Yeah! And what tool?" asked Witherstorm.
"Don't play dumb with us. We saw everything," replied the blue-haired girl.
"This is Gerald. He built the world. The worlds, even," Binta told them.
"Seriously, who are you?" I asked.
"I'm Chloe. This is Max," replied the blue haired girl.
"What are you doing here?" asked Gabriel.
"We heard everything. The explosions, the teleportation, the screaming," replied Chloe.
"Yeah. The world was boring," I told her.
"We were going to explore the new world. Perhaps you'd like to come with us and have a race to see who can find the first diamond?" asked Chloe.
===Chapter 7: Diamond Rush===
"Does this answer your question?" I asked.
I placed a crafting table and proceeded to craft at least 30 iron pickaxes, spreading them out across the group. We all ran to the nearest cave and started to mine down to Y:12. We strip mined and eventually found a cave. We decided to split the group into pairs. I was with Binta.
We explored the cave.
"Y'know, you could always cheat again and spawn a diamond," Binta laughed.
I laughed with her.
"Nah, my days of using my powers for cheating are over," I told her.
It didn't matter, because we found a diamond ore and slammed the pickaxe into it. We returned to the meet-up point on ground level and placed a firework, symbolizing our victory.
The group returned to the meet-up point.
"Wir haben gewonnen," I told them.
Me and Binta high-fived.
===Chapter 8: The Ride Home===
"I found that incredible!" exclaimed Gabriel.
"I'm not really an adventurer villaget but, yes, I found it amazing!" Jayden replied.
"I found gold!" Stella told everyone.
"Nice to be out exploring a real cave for once," Ender said.
"Glad you guys enjoyed it, because I have more planned!" I told everyone.
"Like what?" asked Binta excitedly.
"Beyond the Gerald Fjord lies a mesa biome AND an ice spikes biome!" I replied.
Gabriel started to hyperventilate with excitement.
"Can't wait. Reminds me of the good ol' days," Witherstorm sighed.
"You gonna stop being depressed and actually enjoy the moment? A whole new world! We were the first to explore it, too!" exclaimed Chloe.
"And I found the first diamond," I jokingly bragged.
"You have admin powers! That's cheating! You know where everything is!" Stella laughed.
===Chapter 9: Confrontation===
We were so close to Elliottown.
"You guys keep walking, I need to talk to Binta," I told them.
Ender nodded, and he, Jayden, Max, Chloe, and Witherstorm kept on walking.
"So, guys, about the war with Ellis, do you think Elliottown's in danger?" I asked them. 
"Not at all! It'll be fine!" Stella replied. 
"Not so sure. Those guys definitely want revenge," Binta told me.
"He wouldn't attack Elliottown, would he?" asked Gabriel.
"We'll just have to wait and see," said a voice.
We turned around. It was Ellis.
"You won't do a thing. I'm higher ranked than you. I can blast you into nothing!" I exclaimed.
"We're both the same rank, Gerald," replied Ellis.
"I'm a God! And what are you?" I asked rhetorically.
"I convinced an... old friend of yours that you needed to be stopped. And I came out of that conversation with a gift from the Gods," explained Ellis.
"Prove it!" I replied.
"Certainly. Who will it be? Your girlfriend?" asked Ellis.
Binta started to scream as Ellis drained the very life out of her. I couldn't watch. I had taken my powers for granted, and now I was about to lose the person I most cared about over it. I had to give myself up.
"Okay! Fine! Please, don't hurt her! What do you want?" I pleaded in full capitulation.
"You cheated, and you must be punished," Ellis replied.
===Chapter 10: The New Sixth God?===
Ellis pulled out a command block and entered a string of code. Jayden, Gabriel, Lluna, and Stella disappeared.
"Where'd they go?" I asked.
"We've decided on a fair punishment for you and your friends. A Minecraftia Prison created just for you and your friends to stay on your very own!" explained Ellis.
Binta disappeared too.
"No! Binta!" I yelled.
"Your choice, Gerald. All your powers removed, or a very, very long time in prison?" asked Ellis.
If I lost my powers, I couldn't protect my friends.
"Prison," I replied.
"Eh. Trick question. Prison neutralizes your powers," Ellis told me.
Before I knew it, I was teleported to a huge institution made of stone bricks.
