## Chronology

### Succeeded by

*Arc Four*

**The Codeless Clan** is the third arc in *Warriors: Ultimate Stars.* It follow Codstar, on his journey from apprentice to leader and how he must sacrifice relationships to find loyalty within his Clanmates; Frizztuft, and her mate Butterslip, who try to discover the passion of love for each other and where their paws lie; and later, Dahliastone and Fuzzycrest, daughter of Codstar and daughter of Butterslip, respectively, as both actively follow the bloody pawsteps of their close friend, Spiritbomb, throughout the triumphant creation of the Codeless Clan.

This arc also features a prophecy to find the key. In this prophecy, Finchpaw, Forestpaw, Monarchpaw, and Bloompaw all quest to the Moonstone in order to find Turtle, a mysterious loner, or perhaps rogue, who seems to have past affairs with Clan life. On the way, they meet a kittypet named Boom, who volunteers to help them and is eager to go to SwiftClan with Monarchpaw.

## Summary

Spiritkit and his sister, Horsetailkit, are born into BoulderClan. Frizzpaw and Bloompaw are both quick to visit them. Frizzpaw is thanked by both Bloompaw and Bombhunter when she gives the queen prey to eat after she had kit. Bloompaw and Frizzpaw, already friends but at the time both awkward with each other, shy away. However, that night, Bloompaw is told to go on a mission to find the Key, along with three other apprentices, each representing their own Clans: Finchpaw of NeedleClan, Forestpaw of DeerClan, Monarchpaw of SwiftClan, and herself, representing BoulderClan. When the apprentices meet up, she is commanding, wanting to make herself the leader of the small group as she is the eldest, barely older than Forestpaw. Finchpaw especially finds this rather annoying, and the two often bickered on the journey. They eventually met Boom, a kittypet, after days of hourless travelling and sore paw pads. Boom helps take them to the Moonstone, old and withered, and they meet Turtle, an unsettlingly mysterious loner. Bloompaw especially gets the creepiest vibes from the cat, thinking of them as suspicious and untrustworthy, but she follows StarClan's prophecy nonetheless and takes him home, despite the others disagreeing.

While they are gone on their journey, Frizzpaw grows very worried for her friend. She eventually meets Butterpaw, an apprentice who had wanted to catch a frog in order to impress his mentor, Sunspeckle. Frizzpaw helps him catch said prey, and after Butterpaw saves her from a rockslide, she grows very attached to the younger tom. She keeps meeting with him, and eventually expresses her emotions to Spiritkit, who tells her to follow her heart. When Bloompaw returns to the Clan, Frizzpaw is ecstatic, and greets her friend with such joy. She is eager to know where Bloompaw was but is understanding when her questions are rejected due to StarClan's safety in keeping the prophecy a secret. A few nights later, Frizzpaw receives a dream of a "Codeless Clan," where she sees many cats, including herself, her friends, and Butterpaw, wandering among them, all of them looking healthy and grown. Spiritkit seems to be leading this group with a stride in his step. She decides to find the group with Spiritkit, and bumps into Butterpaw, now Butterslip, on the way, along with his friend, Sorbetpaw. Just when the four are about to leave, Bloompaw follows them, surprisingly not angered by the idea of another quest. On the way, they encounter a mysterious entity that grants most of them with new names: Frizztuft, Bloomflood, Sorbetheart, and Spiritpaw. Frizztuft is made the mentor of Spiritpaw, and just when she is about to question it, the entity fades.

Frizztuft, confused and mildly unsettled by the encounter with the entity, helps mentor Spiritpaw, and a few moons later is expecting Butterslip's kits. She is thrilled to be a mother despite her previous remarks on not wanting to be one, but she supposes these were likely just directed at Sagethorn, who of which had been nagging at her to be his mate even since early apprenticeship. She finds herself slowing on Spiritpaw's mentoring process, and just when she is about to kit, she is lured out of camp by the same entity as before. While kitting, Butterslip and Bloomflood are the first to arrive in time to see her die after having only one kitten, of which both assume is deceased. Butterslip is in denial as he stands over the corpse of his mate, wailing at her to come back to him angrily before eventually giving up. Hearing the commotion, Spiritpaw hurries over, and the three grieve over Frizztuft until they hear the sound of a kit squealing. The kitten, of which Butterslip names Fuzzykit, was alive. The three returns to camp with Frizztuft's body, and Sagethorn attempts to attack and kill Butterslip, but is stopped by Bloomflood.

Codstone is a peaceful and gentle warrior of NeedleClan, very much resemblant to his grandfather, Snowstar. He is always the first to support his grandfather, and the two are very close to one another. Codstone, however, quickly realizes the peace may be disrupted when Snowstar loses his eighth life to a fox trap, and horror fills him as he realizes that he only has one life left to lose. Codstone tries to tell his grandfather to be careful, but they encounter Riversight on the way, and while he tries to save Reefkit, Snowstar's daughter, from the treacherous claws of Taintpath's spirit, lightning strikes Snowstar and Riversight, causing both their deaths. Snowstar miraculously lives in time for Codstone to return to him, and he announces his grandson as the next leader of NeedleClan, before passing away. Codstone is heartbroken, but follows Snowstar's orders, taking him to the camp and announcing his death. He is dismayed to find multiple of his Clanmates do not believe him and is dedicated to proving that he is worthy of being leader rather than a little kit. He finds himself very occupied between the duties of meeting his forbidden partners, Bloomflood and Emeraldclick, and leading, and shortly after Bloomflood mysteriously stops visiting, Codstar does the same. After the Great Flood strikes, he asks for help from SwiftClan just as Snowstar did and is welcomed with open arms. He is confronted by Emeraldclick, and the two break up, only for Emeraldclick to be attacked by Jayfall. Codstar stays quiet about this, worried for his Clanmate and how overprotective and destructive he may become.

Throughout Fuzzykit's childhood, hers and Butterslip's life were both peaceful, besides the hostility threatened by Sagethorn. However, once she became an apprentice, shortly after Dahliakit was born, her life immediately started to twist and turn; the Great Flood occurs, resulting in the deaths of many of her Clanmates, as well as Sagethorn's and Bloomflood's deaths, after Sagethorn tried to kill both Fuzzypaw and Butterslip on the cliff. Butterslip realizes just how unsafe BoulderClan is and takes his daughter to return to DeerClan. Fuzzypaw is heartbroken, wailing and calling out for Spiritpaw, who of which is doing the same for her. However, it is to no avail, and the two return to the bridge where they encounter Sorbetheart, who runs away after hearing the truth about the death of Bloomflood. Despite feeling unwelcome and unhappy in DeerClan, Fuzzypaw, now Fuzzycrest, stays in the Clan for her father's own sake, knowing he needed her more than anything.

Having ran away to the church, Dahliakit is horrified when she hears the truth about her parents: her father being Codstar, leader of NeedleClan; the other being Emeraldclick, an insane former SwiftClan tom seeking revenge, and her mother having died following multiple massive legacies. Dahliakit is pressured by all these legacies, and wonders if she has to follow them, or if she can remain a peaceful cat that doesn't need to follow any rules or legacies, not known much at all by any cat. She still worries through her apprenticeship and warrior days, but she is comforted by Mothpaw, later Mothflutter, who admits she has feelings for Dahliastone. Having felt the same way, Dahliastone admits she had feelings for her, too, and the cats happily become mates.

Fuzzycrest saves a young kit who looks a lot like Codstar, and she wonders if he might be his son. She reunites with Spiritpaw, now Spiritbomb, on NeedleClan territory after the tom saves the Clan from a fox, and the two go to the marshlands, meeting Daggerslash and Dogpaw, later Dogstare, and creating a game for them, called "FetchDog." Fuzzycrest is at first disturbed by this idea, especially after Spiritbomb tells the two to fetch a fox cub, but she is distracted when he mentions a Codeless Clan to create. She hurries off into an abandoned territory to show is to Spiritbomb, and he says that adjustments could be made, but it is suitable. Daggerslash and Dogstare return with a fox cub, still alive, and Fuzzycrest and Spiritbomb both play with it. Fuzzycrest wonders if the two could raise it and train it to be kind to cats.

Horsepaw, Codstar's son, is made an apprentice alongside his sisters Silverpaw and Claypaw, and brother Silentpaw. He is assigned Laurelthorn as a mentor, which frustrates him and causes his relationship with Codstar to drift. He eventually manages to become a warrior, and becomes angered after Laurelthorn receives a second apprentice, Raspberrypaw. The she-cat attacks Tumblemouse, her sister, but Horsespirit defends her and Codstar exiles Laurelthorn, apologizing to Horsespirit, who only storms off. Later, he and Tumblemouse are visited by Snakewhisker and Badgermask, where Snakewhisker gives the two the rest of their prey. Horsespirit isn't hungry, so he insists Laurelthorn eats it instead.
