I would write the protagonists maybe from a WindClan cat (since they are closest to StarClan it seems logical since something seems to happen with StarClan). Maybe Featherpelt/ Brindlewing or Smokehaze as main protagonist. (Let’s go Smokehaze). Smokehaze notices that something is wrong with the way Kestrelflight is acting. She asks him what’s wrong, and he says that StarClan has disappeared from the Moonpool. She becomes a medicine cat apprentice in order to figure out what’s wrong. This is where Shadowkit is introduced into the book. He collapses while collecting herbs w/ Puddleshine and dreams that he has to save StarClan. its a bit similar to when Jayfeather went back in time in his dreams, but Shadowkit has to find StarClan with help of the Ancients, meets Lion’s Roar, since he served no purpose, and fall in love with Lion’s Roar sister (then we finally discover Shy Fawn’s kits names). Then Shadowkit wakes up and relizes it’s a dream, but StarClan has not yet been saved...
(Probably won’t be what happens, but yeah.)

Plot: (Put in a spoiler cause it's too dang long) Cats in the Clans begin to turn away from StarClan after the events in The Raging Storm, especially from the storm that came. Once the harsh leaf-bare hits and cats begin to die, even more cats begin to lose their faith in StarClan and begin to mock them or outright refuse to acknowledge them. The medicine cats are trying to keep their Clans connected to StarClan, it doesn’t work at all. The Clans begin fighting each other brutally everyday, stealing prey so that their Clan or they themselves can be fed, and attack/kill their own Clanmates when no one is watching. At the next Gathering, the accusations cause a blown out battle between all five Clans. At the next half moon meeting, the medicine cats are looking to StarClan for answers. They all get the message that StarClan has declared war with the Clans, and that they are to bring ‘light to the shadows’ if they are to stop the war before it begins. (And nope, the war would last the entire arc.) So yes, in this StarClan would be the villains instead. And there’d be a StarClan civil war too, since not all the cats in StarClan would want to go to war with the Clans, but most of StarClan wants to. (Maybe Yellowfang, Bluestar, idk.) And about the ‘beloved Clan leader’, it would be Bramblestar. He’s been haunted by StarClan for moons now, and the most prominent cat who’s torturing him would be Ashfur. Bramblestar passes away, giving the duty of leader to Squirrelflight. Squirrelflight is reluctant, but she agrees to this anyways. She and Leafpool head to the Moonpool, but the Clan is shocked when they both don’t arrive after a whole day. A search patrol is sent, and it turns out that both Squirrelflight and Leafpool were murdered by some cat (Ashfur or some StarClan cat, most likely Ashfur though), and ThunderClan immediately jumps to the conclusion that it was WindClan that did it. For the time being, the senior warriors try to split up the leader/deputy duties, although nothing is working. At the next Gathering the whole of ThunderClan accuses WindClan of murder, and proceeds to start a war with them. (Taking many more lives in the process.)
POVs: One of TigerDove’s kits (I’d prefer Lightkit or Pouncekit but Shadowkit’s more likely) One of VioletTree’s kits Maaaaaaaaybe a cat outside of the Clans, like a loner or rogue instead of a kittypet An apprentice aged or young warrior POV in RiverClan or WindClan, don’t care who it is Flypaw, Snappaw or Bristlepaw for ThunderClan Deaths: Bramblestar, Ivypool (Come on, you should’ve expected this from me…), Leafpool, Squirrelflight, Lionblaze, Cloudtail, Brightheart, Bumblestripe, Cherryfall, Thornclaw, Brackenfur, Ambermoon, Graystripe, Millie, Leafstar, Hawkwing, Mistystar, and Mosspelt. Other: Twigbranch, Cinderheart, Molewhisker or Lilyheart becomes the next ThunderClan leader sometime by the end of the arc. StarClan civil war, duh. Less new life, more death, especially in ThunderClan. (Wow that got dark) POV for every Clan No big timeskips

Hey! I thought it would be cool if everyone posted what how they would write the Broken code is they were given control of the series! What cats would you chose as your protagonists? What would be the main drama? This isnt’ a “Guess the plot” post, so it can be as cool and unlikely as you want it to be! Protagonists — 1. a tortoiseshell she-cat with a bone studded collar. A young, street-wise cat, perhaps a member of BloodClan. Because I want someone fresh at the helm of this arc, with an outsiders perspective. Her point of view in the first book starts out with her away from the lake at twolegplace, a setting that gets developed more fully. She decides to leave her old, brutal life behind and seek out the Clans. 2. Shadowkit, now Shadowpaw. Already the medicine cat apprentice at the start of the book. 3. Perhaps a third cat from another Clan could have a point of view that would be integral to my plot, but since I’m not developing this thing much, I’ll just stick with the two above. I think two is a good number, leaves less room for filler. Drama — Harsh leafbare, makes prey hard to find, tensions high. During this time, a loner finds the Clans and wants to change them. But, unlike so many of the villains before him, he doesn’t want to be some tyrannical dictator ... rather, he acknowledges that it’s unnecessary to have 5 Clans, that they could all live peacefully /together/ (evidence of this: StarClan, LOL. Once everyone dies they go to live in one big, happy group, but can’t while they’re alive? The logic there is so flimsy.) He points to all the petty border skirmishes as evidence of this too. Many young cats from each Clan see the merit in his words and want to join his cause. (And he truly is a good, charming guy, with a family/friends he cares about, though I would probably make him a little bit morally gray, just to have his character be more three-dimensional.) Nevertheless, while he is shown to be good, Tigerstar (him ESPECIALLY), Mistystar, and many others absolutely hate what he’s trying to do, and try to paint him as a villain. Perhaps at one point someone even frames him for this terrible crime and he gets sentenced to death. (At which point he'd narrowly escape execution with the help of Shadowpaw, my ex-BloodClan gal, or both, only to be shockingly murdered at the end of book 5, right when things seem safe for him and he's so close to attaining his dreams.) During the arc, Shadowpaw would be attracted to what the newcomer has to say (in part because Shadowpaw is a half Clan cat himself) which strains his relationship with his father, Tigerstar. I’d also make this arc more dark, akin to how it was in The Propechy Begins, with lots of deaths, and StarClan suddenly going quiet (or not having as much of an influence in the cats lives as they do in AVOS.) I’d love to include hallucinations/possession somewhere too. As you can see, I don’t really have a coherent plot in my head, just little bits here and there. I also see how my main idea might not be practical considering it’s reiterated again and again in the series that there MUST be 5 Clans, that there’s NO other way for the cats to live, so throwing that out the window and portraying an alternative way of living as good would be tricky ... I think at the end of the series, I would make it so a happy medium is reached. There are still five Clans, but open borders. Cats can freely move from one to the other depending on which lifestyle suits them best, and love freely as well, but if you (or your whole family) decides to settle down at, say, the moor camp you’re considered a “WindClan” cat. But the petty fighting and border skirmishes would cease, as they’d be far more united then ever before. (Pretend it’s the last arc for this to make sense to implement.) -takes a deep breath- okay, I’m done! enjoy the disjointed verbal diarrhea above xD

I always wanted the clans to be all together! There would be less drama eventually, but we would get one amazing book when they all fuse together and try to chose a leader! It would be a good last book since the clan system causses so much unnessasary death...

I love Sundance's idea! It touches on one thing that bothers me about this series, which it how the moral seems to be that "this arbitrary amount of reform and change is good, anyone who is more traditionalist than this is evil and probably just an unfriendly jerk in their personal life too, and anyone who wants more reform and change than this is also secretly evil or at least will become evil".

Bramblestar would die
Squirrelflight would die
Lionblaze would die
Leafpool would die
Half of ThunderClan would die
Tigerstar v2 would die
Tree would die
Crowfrost gets reincarnated just to become leader.
Twigbranch, Violetshine and Dovewing would become so irrelevant they're only mentioned once in the allegiances. Ivypool and Jayfeather are relevant because they're cool. Nevermind that actually--
ThunderClan is driven out and SkyClan takes over under the name ThunderClan II.
RiverClan gets their turn for five arcs of spotlight, meanwhile ThunderClan is just forgotten at this rate.
Mistystar is still kickin' because I like her.
