## Plot

The screen is pitch black. We hear doors closing and being locked, alongside the sound of footsteps, until a light turns on, revealing Ashley tied to a chair. The cat, scared and panicked, starts questioning where she is, until a chilling voice tells her to calm down. Ash asks who is there, to which the voice responded by saying that was not important, and that what matters is that she's willing to collaborate. Ash immediately calls out the bullshit, as she says she's not helping someone who just kidnapped her. The voice tells her that she better collaborate or she dies. Ash mentions how whoever is there is really underestimating her. A pointless argument starts between them, with Ash clearly having better points than the voice. Eventually, the cat recognizes the voice, and starts asking if it belongs to that bozo who always causes Bubbles headaches. Upon hearing this, the voice tries to deny it, but soon it starts taking pride in the fact that they actually give Bubbles troubles. However, Ash just assures them they are just a minor inconvenience. She then starts intentionally getting his name wrong, calling him things like the Clone Man or the Copy Lord.

Annoyed, the voice finally comes out, revealing themselves to be none other than the Clone Lord himself, who corrected Ash on the name and was holding a syringe. He then mentions how they have wasted enough time, and tries to use the syringe to take a sample of Ash's blood. The cat kicks it away and asks what the hell was that for. The Clone Lord tells her to not mind him, as he's just executing his Master Plan. Ash asks how is taking a sample of her blood a plan. She quickly realizes her mistake, as the Clone Lord took that question as a perfect excuse for a monologue, something the Lord loves to do. She tries to stop him by interrupting him, but it's too late. Luckily, the viewers were spared from his speech, as the screen transitions seconds before the Clone Lord started talking.

The next scene shows Star yawning and waking up. Upon getting up he asks Ash what does she want for breakfast, which wasn't answered, much to Star's surprise. The cat starts looking around the house for his beloved, but doesn't find her anywhere, not even in the basement filled with her inventions. After failing to find her, Star goes to the kitchen, where Leon and Spark were having an Arm Wrestling Competition. As Star asks them if they saw Ashley anywhere, Spark ends up getting distracted, leading to Leon winning the competition by pulverizing the rat's arm, who calls Leon an asshole. Leon says that he didn't saw Ash anywhere yesterday and Spark asks who is Ash. While Leon starts looking at Spark with the most "seriously" face possible, Star takes out a manual. In it, he reads the instructions on how to know if Ash is alright when she's gone, with him reaching the conclusion that she has been kidnapped due to a lot of factors in the manual pointing towards it. Upon finding this out, due to the amount of concern he was feeling at the moment, Star inhales and lets out a scream... Which was cut off by a screen transition.

The next scene shows the Clone Lord just as he finished his monologue. He then asks Ash what does she think, only to be met by a sleeping cat. The Lord gets annoyed, but doesn't let this opportunity go to waste as he uses it to get a sample of Ash's blood. The pain the syringe caused woke her up. After inspecting the blood in the syringe, he thanks Ashley for "collaborating", before stating that he doesn't need her anymore and for that she will be killed in an hour's time. The Clone Lord doesn't even reply to Ashley's "wait what" as he left the room laughing. Starting to see the Clone Lord as an actual threat, she asks to herself where Star could be at this moment.

It doesn't take the audience too long to find out, however, as the screen immediately transitions to Star's POV, knocking on someone's door. As the door opened, that someone turned out to be none other than Bubbles, who was upset her sleep was disturbed. She asks what's wrong, to which Star replied with a loud and worried explanation. Upon hearing that her best friend is missing, Bubbles immediately knocks off her bad mood before asking for a clearer explanation. Star explains the instructions he saw on the manual. Since Bubbles shared the same book as Star, she realized Star wasn't kidding and gets as worried as the cat. She immediately goes inside to change from her pijamas to her suit, and as soon as she came back to the door she started running off, while telling the others to follow her. And so they did. All but Leon, who commented on how great it is to have two paranoid creatures on the same team, sarcastically... Only for Star to return, grab him by the neck and run off with the Fox.

We then return to Ashley, who was desperately trying to cut off the ropes keeping her in the chairs with her claws. Soon enough though, the Clone Lord comes back with a pistol. As he told Ash it was time, Ash asked to say some final words, which the Lord allowed. She then starts to speak, although VERY very slowly. The Lord immediately regretted his decision. But it was too late now, as he recognized the importance of the last words of someone. So he let her speak.

After that rather quick scene, we return to the Main Squad. They were at the police station, specifically a room showing footage of cameras spread all through the city. Soon enough, Bubbles gave up. Star, shocked, immediately tried to convince her to keep looking, to which Bubbles answered by saying they have been staring at hours worth of sped up footage, and that Ashley was still nowhere to be found. Suddenly, Spark suggests that maybe she just went looking for drugs. Star orders Spark to take this seriously, but then Spark tells everyone to look at a specific camera which was showing Ash entering a back alley. Everyone immediately started staring at it, wondering why would Ash be in such a dangerous place in the first place... Only for it to be revealed that there was a yarn ball toy in the middle of the alley which she started playing with. Everyone stares at the screen with a poker face as Leon laughs and says how that's a classic. Star grabs him by the neck for that.

Suddenly, in the footage, two men who looked identical to each other appeared and took the cat, alerting everyone. Bubbles immediately started taking screenshots of the men's faces and printing them. Leon mentions how predictable it was for that to happen, but Star says that it's no time to think about it, although he agrees. And so, the group left the station and headed straight to the alleyway.

The next scene shows that despite all this time, Ash is still saying her slow last words, with Clone Lord still waiting. Finally, he has enough and orders Ash to say quicker and shorter last words. Ash agrees, right before hitting Clone Lord with a "thank you for your collaboration", the same words the Lord said to her moments ago, before revealing that the ropes had been cut. Realizing he had been fooled, the Lord reaches for his gun, but it's too late, as the cat was out of the room now. Angry, he immediately takes out a walkie talkie, and, as his voice came out from several speakers spread through the base, orders his cloned minions to find the cat and kill her. Not wasting any second, the Clones in the base start searching around the base. Luckily, none of them finds Ashley, who was hiding behind some boxes as she wonders where the hell would Bubbles be at this time.

After a quick transition, the scene starts showing the entrance of the alleyway, with the Main Cast soon entering it. They look for evidence (or at least something that would hint at where did the clones take Ashley), except for Spark, who was busy trading with a hobo. Bubbles calls out Spark for not helping, before realizing that maybe the hobo saw something. She started interrogating the hobo, and soon learned that two twins had bought a yarn ball from him. Bubbles immediately asked for more details, but the hobo refused to elaborate, due to a policy he has that makes him have respect for the buyers' privacy. Star didn't take it so well. He immediately teleported in between Bubbles and the hobo before slashing off the poor man's long beard and kicking him to a nearby wall. As the hobo bounced off of it, the cat caught him by grabbing him by the neck. Leon, who's far away from the screen, asks how does it feel. As Star stared into the hobo's eyes, he orders the old man to spill the beans.

Afterwards, another scene change happens. This time showing Ashley sneaking through the base, trying to find an exit. Eventually, she does find it, closed by a steel door. She takes out a clip out of her own shadow, before heading to the lock keeping the door closed. However, just as she is about to try, a thrown knife almost hits her in the head, hitting the door instead, and cutting off her ponytail. Alerted, Ash looks back, only to find the Clone Lord alongside a Clone of Ashley herself. The Lord mentions how Ash was asleep while he was talking, but the summary is that he made a clone of Ash so it could fool Bubbles into thinking it was the real Ashley, and get information from the cop and the police station so they could plan heists more effectively, right after tricking all the policemen in the town to get into the station, before blowing it up now that they had a layout of the station. Ash tells him the plan is terrible, and annoyed, the Lord orders Clone Ash to attack.

And so, a duel between the two shadow-benders begun. All sorts of abilities and weapons were used in the duel and many hits were traded... But eventually, the Clone Lord interfered, and managed to hold down the real Ashley. She tried to escape, but the Lord's grasp was too strong. As Clone Ash approached, holding a knife, Ash thought it was the end for her... But then, suddenly, the steel door was kicked in, crushing Clone Ash and killing her. Seconds later, as the cloud of dust formed from the fallen door faded off, the main cast was revealed to be the one responsible for that. Afterwards, the following interaction went down.

*Ash: Star?!*

*Star: Ash!*

*Clone Lord: Bubbles!*

*Bubbles: **Maurice.***

*Spark: Who?*

*Leon: Star.*

*Clone Lord: What?*

Suddenly, Leon interrupted the interaction by grabbing Star and throwing him straight to Clone Lord. Upon hitting his face, the cat immediately started scratching him down as he did angry cat noises. This made him let go of Ashley, who immediately ran away to the group. Bubbles took her sweet time separating Star from the Clone Lord, only successfully doing so after finding out the Lord had fainted due to his injuries. Star assures Bubbles he's not OK and that he doesn't regret a second of it.

The next scene shows the whole group outside the base, which turned out to be just an old warehouse. Star and Ash are hugging each other, glad that each other is safe and sound. A bunch of policemen are seen arresting the Clone Lord, who yells at Bubbles that he will return eventually. In response, Bubbles just shoves him into the car. The water entity then tells Ash to be more careful next time, as she was lucky they arrived just in time. As she looked at the catto, she realized Ashley was now playing with another yarn ball, completely ignoring Bubbles, who just facepalmed. Seeing this, Leon proceeds to say "Wow, what an Ash-hole". Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE (including the policemen and the Clone Lord) stare at Leon in disappointment and disapproval. Afterwards, Star proceeds to grab Leon by the neck a third time, as the screen seamlessly transitions to a logo saying "MultiMayhem".
