==Plot==
===Chapter 1: The Army===
We all stared in horror at the Army Motel. What did Cedryth want from us? Why did he take my home?
"My dogs!" I yelled.
"This isn't the best place for you but we have to go!" yelled Rosalina.
Gerald and Stella had disappeared.
"Where'd they go now?" asked Witherstorm.
They came back, this time in different ninja outfits.
"Another outfit?" asked Jimbob.
"It's fashionable!" exclaimed Gerald.
"MY HOME!" I yelled. 
The sudden roars of an entire army appeared at the bottom of the mountain. A bald woman with a white mohawk appeared.
"Yeah! I found them!" exclaimed the woman.
"Hello," said Gerald.
"Come with me to Cedryth or I'll sic my army on you! Wouldn't wanna sic my army on you! It's a mighty... army!" said the woman.
There was silence.
"You don't have an army, do you?" asked Kyle.
"What? No! I mean, yeah I do!" exclaimed the woman.
"Sure," replied Kenney.
"You don't wanna see the mighty army of Soup, do you?" asked the woman.
"Sure. Go ahead," said Petra.
"The power of Gods is superior to a mere army!" yelled Hellcraftia.
"Okay, I don't have an army!" exclaimed Soup.
"Figured," replied Gerald.
"Uhh... guys?" said Von.
The tower started to glow, and the ground started to feel like an earthquake. Soup ran off of it.
"Now would be a GREAT time to find this temple!" yelled Binta.
"There better be treasure!" exclaimed Stella.
"Why does it matter? We're looking for a way to stop the most evil being alive!" yelled Rachel.
"C'mon guys!" yelled SLG1.
"How do we get there?" asked Witherstorm.
"A portal," said Worldcraftia.
The Gods started to build a Nether portal, however, it made out of five materials: gold, diamond, emerald, iron, and redstone.
"COME ON! NOW!" yelled Endcraftia. 
"Does it have tea and crumpets?" asked Tom.
Jordan slapped him.
"SHUT UP!" yelled Jordan.
"STOP TALKING AND ENTER THE STUPID PORTAL!" yelled Ellie.
"WAIT!" yelled Charlie.
"Huh?" I asked.
"What about the Army Motel?" asked Charlie.
"Cedryth first, motel later!" said Wendy.
"We can't just abandon it! It's home!" exclaimed Witherstorm.
"We gotta go!" said Randy.
We all hopped through the portal.
===Chapter 2: Superflat===
We entered the world. It was completely flat. However, a huge city stood before them.
"My home..." said Gerald.
"This is the Citadel of Geralds you were talking about?" asked Stella.
"Yep. Skyscrapers, spires, apartments, towers, a community center, a treasure room/museum. My city has everything you need. You wanna find my old team? They'll either be in the community center behind those three tall quartz spires, or the treasure room, in front of the spires," expained Gerald. 
"Remember when we used to hang out in Team Champion's tower?" asked Kenney.
"Simpler times," replied Gerald with a saddened look.
They all walked into the Citadel.
"Wow. It's... big," said Binta.
Near the entrance to the left was a tall spire made of cyan concrete. To the right was an apartment complex, 10 stories high. About 20 blocks away from the entrance, in the middle of the path, was a golden statue of a man holding a sword. 20 more blocks away was the treasure room. On the row beyond the statue were three shops.
"You wanna prepare for battle? All the equipment is in the treasure room. It was originally in the armory, the purple building, but we didn't have enough room," explained Gerald.
We walked past the shops, the white one on the left just before we entered the treasure room had a yard full of llamas.
"Llamas!" yelled Stella.
All the llamas grunted.
===Chapter 3: For The Citadel===
We entered the treasure room. The main third, the one in the middle, had no goods, and just a purple, cyan, red, and black carpet. The one on the left had eight beds. In the top left corner was a sign that said "NOTHING TO SEE HERE." On the right was what we were looking for. All the armor and weapons.
"Yeah! By the way, there are only twelve sets. We're gonna need to pick our best fighters. I'm a pretty skilled fighter, Kenney is. The other members of the Order are probably wearing their armor, the Gods are wearing their armor, Stella's a good fighter. So, that's three sets," explained Gerald.
Gerald put on a dark purple and white set. Kenney replaced his black bandana with a black one with red stripes at the top and bottom. Stella wore one with dark and light purple stripes and a white belt. I put on a green set, as did Jimbob. Petra put on a purple set. Witherstorm wore a black set, Jude wore a red one with a black creeper face, Binta wore a completely white set, similar to iron, Von wore a blue and white set, and Axel wore a green set.
"There's one left. If we meet anyone new along the way, we can give it to them," said Gerald.
"I'll keep my ninja suit. It's pretty durable," said SLG1.
Gerald grabbed an enchanted golden sword.
"It looks flimsy, but it has a lot of enchantments, including Mending. Pretty useful, huh?" exclaimed Gerald.
"You got a spare?" asked Stella.
Gerald nodded and gave her one. The rest of us grabbed enchanted diamond swords. 
===Chapter 4: Some New Faces===
We walked out of the treasure room. Two people were outside. One looked very scruffy, and wore a pig on his head. The other had messy purple hair and wore a jumpsuit, like a prisoner.
"So, you're the squishies who think they can stop Ravenclaw!" exclaimed the person wearing a pig.
"Hello," said Gerald.
"Wait, it's the former members of the Order of the Wonders. What are you doing back here?" asked the woman.
"We're looking for a thing that can stop Cedryth," said I.
"I can see you have the Gods on your side, said the woman. 
"You know where the others are?" asked Gerald.
"They announced their return to Team Champion's tower," replied the woman.
"C'mon, we need to go!" exclaimed Jude.
"You guys coming?" asked Axel.
"Sure. I'm Xara. This is PorkChop," said the woman.
We all ran to Team Champion's tower.
===Chapter 5: Survival Skills===
The tower was huge. We barely had any time to analyse any details, as Gerald practically threw us inside.
"Just a precaution. These guys are pretty cocky," stated Gerald.
"Huh?" asked Stella.
We all climbed up the ladder leading to the top of the tower. The top was completely trashed. A huge table in the middle was full of half eaten cakes and pies. 
"Ew. What happened here?" asked Stella.
"These guys... didn't live in the healthiest place ever," replied Kenney.
"It stinks," said Charlie.
"You'd know about stinking," replied Wendy.
"So, where are the Order?" I asked.
"I dunno. They were here a minute ago," replied Xara.
We heard five pairs of footsteps behind us.
"You shouldn't be here," said a man's voice.
We all turned around. It was the Order of the Wonders.
"Hello," replied Gerald.
"G-gerald?" said the man.
"Hey, Lukas," smiled Von.
"Hello," said Worldcraftia. 
"And the four Gods? And Kenney and Von?" said Lukas.
"Owen! My partner!" exclaimed Kenney.
"Kenney!" yelled Owen.
"Ben! Nathan! Tom! It's been years," said Gerald.
"Your tower stinks of century old junk food! You should really learn to take better care of your city!" yelled Stella.
"This was MY city until these guys took over and ruined it. Hence 'Citadel of Geralds'," replied Gerald.
"As if your city is better!" exclaimed Lukas.
"I've been to it. It actually is," replied Gerald.
"Oh, this your girlfriend?" asked Lukas.
"Say that one more time and I will kick your head off," replied Gerald angrily.
"Ooh, so scared!" exclaimed Tom.
Tom pulled out an almost completely destroyed enchanted diamond sword. Gerald and Stella pulled out their enchanted golden swords.
"I wasn't being sarcastic," Tom shot up.
"Yeah. That's what I thought," replied Stella.
"Uhh, guys?" I said.
"Oh yeah. The weapon," replied Gerald.
"You guys wanna learn some confidential survival skills?" asked Owen.
"You're just gonna say 'Swing a sword or fire a bow'. You're forgetting that I know you guys very well," replied Gerald.
"Seriously, we need to find the weapon," I said.
"Yeah, you're right," replied Gerald.
"Where is it?" I asked.
"That's the problem. It's in Dark Star X. Which I flooded with monsters," replied Gerald.
"Why?" I asked.
"To stop people from entering," replied Gerald.
"Why, though?" asked Stella.
"I'll explain when we get there," replied Gerald.
"So, Dark Star X is our next stop," I stated.
===Chapter 6: A Whole New City===
"The entrance is in the treasure room," stated Gerald.
"So that's what the "Nothing To See Here" sign was for," added Lukas.
We all walked back to the treasure room. Indeed, in the left side in the top left corner was a sign that said "NOTHING TO SEE HERE". Gerald dug up the block and hopped down.
"Just a precaution. This city is full of mobs. Mutant zombies, Gerald soldiers, and a huuuuuuuuge obsidian Gerald colossus," explained Gerald. 
"Oh...." I said.
We all jumped down. There was another platform. However, part of Dark Star X was exposed. We could see that it was in ruins. We hopped down to the next platform. Even more of it was revealed. Then we reached the bottom platform, which was the entrance to the city.
===Chapter 7: Spoiled===
It was a horrific sight. A once beautiful city was now half covered up in dirt. The few buildings exposed were in rubble. There was a room to the right of us, or, what was left of it.
"This... this was the room where we would meet," explained Gerald. 
"Huh?" I asked.
"Me, Kenney, Von, Lukas, Owen, Tom, Ben, Nathan, Hellcraftia, Endcraftia, Worldcraftia, Rosalina, and... Ravenclaw," explained Gerald.
"You used to be FRIENDS with him?!" exclaimed Jude.
"It was a long time ago. Cedryth was a decent human. Then something changed. Something... snapped," replied Gerald.
The ground shook. A huge obsidian colossus destroyed the remains of a tall spire. It was made of obsidian, and it looked like a purple-skinned Gerald wearing a God suit.
"That... is... the biggest... monster... I've ever seen...!" gasped Binta.
"I wanted to make sure people wouldn't enter. I had to toy with the basic order of things," replied Gerald.
"So, where's the key to defeating Cedryth?" I asked.
Gerald pointed to an obsidian tunnel.
"That leads to my cottage. I surrounded the room with obsidian to... to ensure my legacy stayed alive," replied Gerald.
"To your cottage, then," said Stella.
We all ran to the obsidian tunnel. The giant colossus was still roaming, and tons of huge zombies appeared as well as obsidian soldiers.
"Knock the wall down!" exclaimed Witherstorm.
Gerald mined a hole with a diamond pickaxe and we all ran in.
===Chapter 8: Gerald's Cottage===
We all looked around. It was beautiful. It was the first thing in Dark Star X that actually looked alive. The room contained a birch tree next to a lake. The cottage was behind it.
"It's... amazing," said Binta.
"Now, where's the key?" I asked.
"Inside," replied Gerald. 
There was a man inside the building. He ran out.
"Thank everything! Thank all the Gods! I can get out!" yelled the man.
"Uhh, who are you?" asked Gerald.
"Me? My name is Romeo!" yelled the man.
"Do you need help finding Juliet?" laughed Gerald.
"I... no...?" stuttered Romeo.
"We're gonna stop Cedryth," replied Gerald.
"Oh! That devil! He needs to be taken down!" exclaimed Romeo.
I, Gerald, Stella, Binta, and Hellcraftia entered the cottage. It looked peaceful. It was made of birch. The room contained a purple bed, a crafting table, a furnace, and a large chest.
"A book's in the chest, you need to read it," said Gerald.
I opened the chest and grabbed the book. I then proceeded to read it. 
"A long time ago, six Gods created a world. Wait, six Gods?" I asked.
"I'll explain in a minute," replied Hellcraftia.
"These six Gods built every block that anyone has ever stood upon. They built more worlds, and they resided in these worlds. Hellcraftia built the Nether and Endcraftia built the End. When one of these six Gods was tormented, he snapped. He killed anyone and everyone who bullied him. As a consequence of his actions, Cedryth was stripped of his powers. He developed a new name, Ravenclaw, and a new identity. Written by Worldcraftia," I read.
===Chapter 9: Not What You Expected===
"Cedryth was bullied into becoming evil. I thought he was just a little cuckoo," I said, shocked.
"Continue reading," replied Gerald.
I turned the page.
"If you're reading this, Cedryth has gotten his powers back. He's terrorizing the world and you want to stop him. Ironic how the place where it all started will be the place it all ends. Here it is: the key to defeating Cedryth," I continued.
I paused, quite shocked.
"It says... Gerald-XR-Donovan?" I gasped.
"Gerald... you're the only one who can stop Cedryth?" asked Binta.
"Feh. Took you long enough," replied Gerald.
"Huh?" asked Binta.
"Once Gerald has stripped Cedryth of his powers, take the remaining Dark Star to the terminal near Team Interdimensional's tower. You can seal it up forever and put a stop to this once and for all," I finished.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," replied Gerald.
"Gerald... you're the sixth God?" asked Stella.
"Yes! This isn't my real body, of course," replied Gerald.
===Chapter 10: The Fifth God===
Kenney, Von, Randy, and Kyle ran in.
"We heard everything!" exclaimed Kenney.
"Then I guess you want to see the big reveal?" asked Gerald rhetorically.
Gerald footsteps became heavier as he started to walk towards them. He glowed white, and then his whole appearance changed. His hair was purple, his eyes were purple, his skin was purple, and he wore a purple God suit.
"No way!" exclaimed Von.
"Gerald... the whole time?" asked Kenney.
"Yep. I am the fifth God," replied Gerald.
"Well this is great! We could help Champion City, build awesome things. Y'know I'd want to be your partner right?" asked Stella.
"Gross," replied Gerald.
"I'm just asking if I could join your God club," replied Stella.
"Why should I let you?" asked Gerald.
"Because I'm a good leader," replied Stella.
"Fine," Gerald said reluctantly. 
"But what about stopping Cedryth?" I asked.
The argument was stopped when Soup appeared.
"Well I now have an army! One villager decided to join because he wants to take down bad guys!" exclaimed Soup.
A villager appeared.
"Jayden?" asked Witherstorm.
===Chapter 11: New Comrades===
"Ooh it's my human friend who purchased some items from me!" exclaimed Jayden.
"Wait, you know this villager?" I asked.
"We're old friends! I met him before you!" exclaimed Witherstorm.
"I was told I was stopping bad guys! But you are good guys! I guess I was tricked! Hey, where's my other friend Thibo?" asked Jayden.
I and Witherstorm fell silent.
"He didn't make it," I said.
Jayden started to tear up.
"Ooh I am sorry. He was a good friend! But I will help you on your fierce battle!" exclaimed Jayden.
"We're going to take down Cedryth. He needs to DIE," yelled Gerald.
"We can't... kill Ravenclaw, can we?" asked Witherstorm.
"He deserves it. He's killed too many people!" exclaimed Gerald.
"Why are you so angry all of a sudden?" I asked.
"Because it's hard! I just wanted me, Kenney, Von, and the Order to stay together. But it just couldn't happened. We grew apart. It's hard being back here!" yelled Gerald. 
"I'll join your team because... I don't know," said Soup.
"We need to go. Now," stated Gerald. 
We all left through the obsidian tunnel.
"COLOSSUS!!" yelled Von.
We all ran to the saferoom.
===Chapter 12: I'm Not Ready===
The obsidian soldiers started to invade the saferoom.
"TO THE TOP!" yelled Gerald. 
We all climbed to the top of the city. There indeed was an opening. Gerald and Stella jumped through the door to the tower and were safe in the Citadel.
"Later, Ludwig. We're gonna find Cedryth and we'll teleport you to us when we do so," Gerald explained.
Gerald and Stella ran off. 
"He ditched us!" yelled Jimbob.
"GERALD! WAIT!" yelled Kenney. 
Kenney ran off after them.
"C'mon guys! Go!" I yelled.
Jude, Witherstorm, and Romeo climbed up.
===Chapter 13: Coming To Terms===
The colossus started to tear the cave apart. It was becoming clear that some people were going to die.
Jayden hopped up. 
"Don't worry Ludwig! I will help people up!" exclaimed Jayden.
Jayden carried PorkChop, Soup, and Xara up. Randy, Kyle, and Von climbed up themselves.
"Guys! Hurry!" I yelled.
Tom and Jordan climbed up.
===Chapter 14: A Friend In Need===
All the Gods jumped up. The colossus ripped a whole chunk of the cave off, causing Tom and Owen to slip and fall into the pit of soldiers.
"TOM! OWEN!" yelled Nathan.
"Go get them!" yelled Lukas.
Nathan jumped into the pit of soldiers. He started to fight them.
"TOM! OWEN! GO!" yelled Nathan.
Tom and Owen climbed up to the others as Nathan was massacred by the soldiers.
"NATHAN!" yelled Owen.
===Chapter 15: 6 Feet Under===
The remaining members of the Order climbed up and were safe with the others. Binta and Rachel climbed up too. Charlie and Wendy followed behind. It was just Jimbob, Petra, Axel, Ellie, and me now. Jimbob and Axel climbed up.
"Thanks for not letting us die!" exclaimed Jimbob.
"Yeah. Much appreciated," added Axel.
"Petra! Ellie! C'mon!" I yelled.
Petra ran towards me. The colossus ripped another part of the cave off. Ellie didn't have time to jump to safety, nor did she have a weapon to fend off the soldiers. Ellie died a horrible death, being ripped apart by the obsidian soldiers. 
"ELLIE! NO!!" screamed Axel.
===Chapter 16: Event That Sparked A War===
Axel wasn't the only one experiencing loss that day. I was about to aswell. I didn't have enough time to save her. Petra slipped, and tumbled down into the pit of soldiers. I collapsed to the ground crying as I heard her screams of agony as she was murdered by the soldiers.
Jordan pulled me up. I just wanted to die. I had already lost enough people. I just wanted to die already. I had to come back to my senses. I ran faster than I ever have as Worldcraftia built a portal and we all entered.
Cedryth had caused the deaths of many people, but Petra was the final straw. I saw what he had done to my home as soon as we got back and I just wanted to blow it all up. However, it seemed as if a familar face was doing it for me.

==Trivia==
*This book as well as the previous, "Ludwig and the Woman Beyond The Stars, is entirely written by Gerald-XR-Donovan as EllegaardRedstone22 had suffered a head injury and was unable to write.
*Five new characters were announced: The Order of the Wonders (Lukas the Redstone Architect, Tom the Warrior, Owen the Explosives Expert, and Ben the Architect) and Romeo.
**It has also been announced that there will be "loads" of new characters.
*This book ends the longest character absence in the Minecraftia Series. Jayden returns after being absent since Ludwig's Adventure. (Jayden only appeared in the pilot and was not seen in the main series until now)
*This book also ends one of the longest character lifespans. Petra died in this book. She first appeared in Ludwig and the Anti-Ravenclaw Organisation. In total, she was in fourteen books.
*According to Gerald-XR-Donovan, there was supposed to be a plot twist where it turned out that Witherstorm had been Ravenclaw/Cedryth in disguise and that Cedryth was able to control two entities at once. According to Donovan, Witherstorm would've been Cedryth since Ludwig and the Order of the Cat and would've explained how Witherstorm faked his own death. This was all scrapped and Witherstorm is indeed the real one.
