Welcome to the ultimate casting call and animation collab for my full-length movie series, Warriors: Rogue Hunters! This is a high-energy, neon-cyberpunk animation project inspired by the K-Pop Demon Hunters theme. Script: THUNDERCLAN BORDER - NIGHTA torrential downpour hammers the forest canopy. Thick, black mud swallows the grass. Rain washes away all normal scents. Through the dark undergrowth, FIVE FIGURES move like shadows. Their fur is drenched, but faint, pulsing lines of neon light glow beneath the raindrops—hot coral, fiery orange, pastel blue, and deep electric blue. Squirrelflight at a ridge, her ears flattened against the storm. Her eyes glow a fierce neon pink. Squirrelflight.Hissing over the wind)The scent is completely dead. The rain is wiping everything out. SandStorm steps up beside her, his massive shoulders tense. His amber lines pulse slowly, like warning lights. We shouldn't have tracked a rogue thief this far past the neutral stones. It’s too dangerous in this weather. Ashfur slides into view on a high tree root, looking completely relaxed despite the storm. A faint, bioluminescent green light traces his paws. Relax, sandstorm . A little rain just adds to the atmosphere. Besides, whoever took that fresh-kill didn't cover their tracks very well. Look down there Sandstorm points with her Tail toward a swollen, rushing river at the bottom of the gorge. A lone she-cat stands trapped against the raging water. It’s NEEDLE. Her fur is sleeked back by the rain, and she holds a stolen piece of prey in her jaws. Squirrelflight.There she is. Hunters, flash-step formation. Move! In perfect, synchronized motion, the five cats leap down the muddy ridge. They land in a flawless, tight circle around Needle, cutting off her escape. Sandstorm steps forward, her front paw slamming into the mud. “ FeatherTail” Drop the prey, rogue. You’re trespassing on Clan territory. Needle slowly drops the fresh-kill into the mud. But she doesn't look scared. A slow, chilling grin spreads across her face. Her eyes suddenly flash an unstable, demonic neon violet. NEEDLE(Voice distorted, echoing)Trespassing? Oh, little house-cats... you got it backwards. The heavy, ticking electronic intro of "TAKEDOWN" starts to hum in the background, vibrating the very ground beneath their paws. FeatherTail snaps her head around, his blind eyes glowing bright electric blue.
