Tubbo smiled, the plan was perfect! Just recently, a stage was built in the city for those wanting to become the next leader. Wilbur was going to go on stage with Phil and try to convince the citizens to elect him as the new leader.

Currently he was waiting behind the stage with everyone else. They had sent out letters to all the citizens to gather today at the stage and Tubbo could already hear them, some sounded angry, others frustrated and some were even curious. It made sense, these people didn't trust Wilbur.

Phil cleared his throat to get everyone's attention, "alright, it seems everyone is outside so how about we get this started."

Wilbur nodded, "I'm ready!" He said with confidence.

And so the two walked out.

"Wanna go out and see what will happen?" Tommy asked Tubbo. He nodded, Ranboo who was beside him also nodded.

"You guys aren't going out without supervision though, I will also come." Techno said.

Tommy grumbled, "fine..."

"Hello citizens of Anzena, I have gathered you here today to prove to you that I will be a great leader." Wilbur spoke into the microphone. "I would like to welcome back one of the founders, Philza Craft!" He finished as Phil walked on the stage.

The crowd immediately went silent and after a moment erupted into gasps. Tommy could guess what they were thinking. The great Philza Craft! No way this has to be fake! But Tommy knew, Tommy knew that this was the real Phil.

"Hold on! If that is actually Philza Craft then why can't he become the leader!?" Someone from the crowd asked.

Phil cleared his throat and walked up to the microphone, "I will assure you, I am the real Philza and to answer the second part of your question... I don't think I'm the right person to take the position as leader, there is a reason we chose Schlatt to lead last time and it was because he was better at it than all of us... I just don't think I will do a good job." He explained, then stepped back and let Wilbur take the mic again.

"Are there any other questions before I move on?" The brunette asked.

It didn't take long before another person spoke up, "what if someone else wants to become leader? What about them!?"

"Ah, and that's where we move on to the next part. We will hold an election in three days, anyone who wants to become leader will get the chance to make a speech... and then the citizens will decide who to put their trust in." Wilbur answered.

There was a moment of silence. No one talked, there were no more questions.

Wilbur cleared his throat, "well if there are no more questions I would like to see you all here tomorrow at the same time. Have a nice day!" Then he walked off the stage with Philza.

Wilbur took in a breath as he opened up the computer. He's had his suspicions for a while now and needed to know if he was right. The brunette typed a few words on the keyboard and then pressed enter, while it loaded he grabbed a book from the pile beside him and opened it.

Wilbur's brows furrowed. Why is there nothing here? He thought while scrolling through websites. Of course he should have known that it wouldn't be that easy.

After twenty minutes he switched to the books. It was obvious that the answer wouldn't be on that computer... but then the brunette turned to the last page of the last book...

He slammed it on the table and screamed in frustration. Why!? Why is there nothing! It's all nonsense and words and NO ANSWERS!!!! He thought.

Wilbur grit his teeth to stop himself from screaming again. He didn't want anyone else to see what he was doing. Maybe they thought that he was practicing his speech for tomorrow... he's already done that though. He just wanted some answers!!

Wilbur slammed his head on the desk in front of him. Taking a deep breath and opening his eyes... wait-

Did he not see that book before?

He sat up and grabbed the book. Just by looking at it, it looked old. Its cover was worn and had several scratch marks. On the cover there was a picture of pillar-like mountains and a star, the title above it said, Star Pillars.

He wasn't sure why but it felt like this book had the answers he needed, so he opened it up to the first page. The pages were yellow on the corners, more evidence that the book Wilbur was holding was very old.

And so he started reading...

It was exactly what he needed.
