WOTF Scourge AMV follows the plot of the first Warrior Cat's series, Warriors: The Prophecies Begin, which consisted of six books. It depicts Firepaw's assention into clan leadership, earning the star upon his forehead which marks him leader of Thunderclan and christened Firestar. Then, he and his clan fight Scourge, a vengeful and cruel black cat who dies by the end of the video.
WOTF Scourge AMV is drawn in a simplified anime style, which was popular for very early Warrior Cat video fandom on YouTube. Alli Kat did not use an animation program to create the video, instead drawing each frame in a separate program (likely MS Paint) and threading them together in a video program (likely Windows Movie Maker). While most of the backgrounds were drawn by Alli Kat, some were live action.WOTF Scourge AMV - Bones Shatter, laguerredesclans-erinhunter. (Accessed 8/16/2022)
