Moth Flight is sitting with her kits at Four Trees. Their formation forms the points of a cartoon star shape, the lines of which consist of grass that stands out from the rest of the patch. She tears up, having told them that they’re going to be given to the other clans, and they react in shock. Thunderstar comes out of the shadows, looking sympathetically at Blue Whisker as he dejectedly joins him, and they walk into the shadows together, with Blue Whisker trailing behind. Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower appear to sing the lines and follow after them.

Fluttering Bird is sitting in front of Skystar at Four Trees, hissing furiously at him while he stares at her in shock. She calms down slightly and grandly creates a vision of a blazing star flower growing rapidly over her head, accompanied by a sweeping gesture with her front paws, and Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower accentuate it with jazz hands. Skystar looks at it for a moment with a front paw under his chin before snapping his front claws as he has an epiphany, and he touches them to the flower, replacing it with a vision of him with five stars above his head that join into one. Fluttering Bird looks at him, aghast at his stupidity, before disappearing and taking the vision with her. Meanwhile, Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower are amused.

Shing-a-ling
On Misty’s territory, she is pinned down by Petal before managing to flip her over and pin her down instead. Her kits can be seen watching in terror from a bush behind them. Their terror increases before Skystar lunges onto their mom, pinning her down and preparing to slash his claws down her throat and chest. The shot switches to Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower covering the kits’ eyes a little bit too late while Petal cheers him on right before Skystar kills her, and a little bit of blood goes through the spirits’ paws and lands on the kits.
Part 4
What a creepy thing to be happening
(Look out, look out, look out, look out!)
Shang-a-lang
Feel the sturm and drang in the air (yeah, yeah, yeah)
At Four Trees, Skystar has dramatically monologued to Rainswept Flower. He has one front paw over his closed eyes and is trailing a claw of another down his ribs as if to show the dangers of starvation for his cats if they don’t have enough territory, except his ribs are not visible in the slightest. As he looks at Rainswept Flower to see if it worked, she looks at him exasperatedly for a moment before quickly catching a fat squirrel to prove the opposite point. Skystar looks at her furiously and lunges at her, killing her by biting her throat. Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower, who have been backing Rainswept Flower up to the audience, walk in front of them at the last second so that the audience can’t see Rainswept Flower’s death except for a little blood that goes flying.
Part 5
Sha-la-la
Stop right where you are, don't you move a thing
You better
You better
Tellin' you, you better
Tell your mama
Something's gonna get her
In Pebble Heart’s den, Skystar, Gray Wing, Jagged Peak, Pebble Heart, Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower crowd around Quiet Rain, who is weakly lying in a nest. Skystar is the closest to her while the others are behind him. Shaded Moss’s spirit appears next to him, placing a starry halo over his head before grinning and giving Quiet Rain a ‘thumbs up,’ and he stays like that until she nods slightly, then disappears, taking the halo with him. She weakly puts a front paw on her chest and then his before dying, confusing him, as he doesn’t know what he needs to forgive himself for.
Part 6
She better
Everybody better beware
(:53-1:03)
Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower run alongside Flutter as she attempts to escape the Twolegplace she’s in, heading towards a road. They reach it, and she looks in the direction of the camera in terror and freezes in fear. Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower look at each other and the audience and rush to get in between her and the ‘camera’, doing so just in time to stop the audience from seeing much of her getting hit by a truck carrying several fridges in the cargo bed, which passes through them without hurting them and splatters her blood on the road.
Part 7
(1:04-1:13)
Finch Song, surrounded by Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower, watches Riverstar and Drizzle leave on a log raft anxiously before shaking her head and running after them, causing her entourage a moment of confusion before they go back to their previous mood and run after her. She jumps in the river, swimming to the raft, and is pulled into it by Riverstar after he struggles for a moment. Finch Song stares in the direction of her previous home blankly as Riverstar affectionately licks her ears, and Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower watch them go.
Part 8
Ooh, here it comes, baby
Tell those bums, baby
Oh, oh, no!
In Shadowstar’s camp, Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower back Bumble up to the audience as she shows her the scars on her legs. Shadowstar shakes her head at her slightly, and Windstar juts in between them, unceremoniously grabbing Bumble’s collar in her teeth and walking with her out of the camp as Gorse Fur quickly joins her. Bumble’s expression quickly shifts from devastation to anger, and Lightning Tail and Acorn Fur laugh derisively at her as Shadowstar and Gray Wing watch her leave exasperatedly.
Part 9
Ooh, hit the dirt, baby
Red alert, baby
Oh, oh, no!
Oh, oh, no!
In the Twolegplace of the forest territories, Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower run alongside Turtle Tail in the same way that they ran alongside Flutter. They realize what’s going to happen sooner than they did with her as they see a road and get in between her and the camera long before the group reaches the road, looking at her sympathetically as, like Flutter, she freezes in terror on the road. Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower are hesitantly hopeful as a truck passes over her instead of hitting her, but their hopes are dashed as one of the several fridges it is carrying in the cargo bed falls off and onto her.
Part 10
Alley-oop
Haul it off the stoop child, I'm warnin' you
(Look out, look out, look out, look out!)
Run away!
Child, you gonna pay if you fail, yeah! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Slate is lying in front of Gray Wing with her recently kitted kits in the warriors den of the moor. She looks affectionately at him while he looks affectionately at their kits. Gray Wing places a front leg between Silver Stripe and White Tail, comparing their pelt colors, and is happy that they’re similar. Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower sing behind them, exasperated by Gray Wing caring this much about the proof of his genetic relationship to his kits, with Star Flower rolling her eyes.
Part 11
Look around
Something's comin' down, down the street for you!
You betcha
You betcha
You bet your butt, you betcha
Best believe it
Something's come to get ya
In the forest, Thunderstar stares at his paws awkwardly before pushing a shiny stone towards Violet Dawn, who had been watching him in anticipation. After a long pause, he looks up anxiously, and she smiles slightly, touching her muzzle to his, before abruptly leaving, with him following her a moment later. Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower, who had been watching this, are confused by how fast this has happened. Storm looks at her arm as if looking at a watch.
Part 12
You betcha
You better watch your back and your tail
Woo! (Come-a come-a come-a.)

On the mountain, Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower watch Gray Wing, Turtle Tail, Cloud Spots, Skystar, Shadowstar, and Jackdaw’s Cry as Turtle Tail sorrowfully tilts her head behind her, telling Skystar that Bright Stream was taken by the eagles, while Gray Wing looks at him guiltily behind her and the others are shocked. Skystar takes a moment to process this, devastated, and Bright Stream’s spirit goes to sit beside him sympathetically until he moves a front paw in front of him in a sweeping gesture, creating a vision of their kits, which annoys her and causes her to rejoin Storm and Star Flower, who look at her supportively.
Part 13
Bop-sh'bop
You'll never stop the terror

Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower watch as Gray Wing huddles over Storm in her Twoleg nest after having excavated her from the rubble. The past version of Storm looks sadly at her still kits, who are at her side, and the Starclan version sheepishly copies the gesture of looking at her arm that she made earlier, realizing how quickly her affair with Skystar happened, while Bright Stream and Star Flower look at her supportively.
Part 14
No, oh, oh, no, oh, oh, no, oh, oh, no!
Bright Stream, Storm, and Star Flower watch Skystar and Star Flower’s past self in Skystar’s den. Skystar pads up to her, towering over her and drawing his tail from her throat to a front paw before wrapping it around it possessively, and she is briefly replaced with a vision of Thunder as she obediently looks up at him, causing him to smile. The Starclan version of Star Flower is increasingly frustrated by this and eventually facepalms, and Bright Stream and Storm look at each other before pressing up against her while looking at her supportively, causing her to blush and lick their shoulders that are against her.
