The darkness between the stars, cold and lifeless.

Then, a strange RIPPLE. Followed by another. As if something enormous is banging into it, trying to force its way in.

A moment later, a small inter-dimensional PORTAL opens up. A "COSMIC EGG" shoots out, and the portal winks shut.

The egg hurtles through space like a meteorite, leaving a trail of MULTICOLORED LIGHTS in its wake.

It enters our galaxy, rocketing past familiar planets like Saturn and Mars, heading straight for Earth...

The egg enters our atmosphere, streaking toward a bright collection of lights - A CITY.

Just beyond the city limits, the ground rises to a ledge with a clear view. The city lies below, lit up in the distance.

The egg cuts through the clouds, and crashes into the ground in an EXPLOSION of dirt and rocks. When the air clears, the Egg is nestled in a smoking crater, a newly-formed CRACK running through it -

It begins to wobble. A chorus of INHUMAN CRIES come from within, causing more cracks to spider across the shell, until it SPLITS OPEN with a FLASH of blinding light, revealing:

A sleek GLOWING WHITE CAT in a shallow crater hole.

A MAGIC CIRCLE appears around the cat. Inside the magic circle in the center is a GLOWING WHITE CIRCLE. The white circle flickers and a lattice is formed inside the magic circle in the shape of three circles touching each other in a triangle arrangement, RED, GREEN AND BLUE. These circles surround the white circle.

The magic circle animates:

The white circle glowing brightly, all other circles exist only in lattice form. Energy from the white circle gets drained from its circle, the energy gets pulled equally into the 3 color circles, red, green and blue. When the red, green and blue circles are filled with the energy of the white circle, the white circle has completely drained its energy, and the white circle disappears.

At this point the glowing white cat becomes a black cat. The black cat then divides into 3 cats, red, green and blue. The same colors as the magic circle colors. The three different colored cats' tails move in sync, and eventually move individually as the magic circle fades away and disappears.

The red cat leaps out of the crater, followed by the green cat, followed by the blue cat. The motion of each cat leaping out of the crater is identical, unnatural.

The three cats quickly become sleek black cats that are only distinguishable by their colored tails: RED, GREEN AND BLUE.

The cats sit side-by-side, looking out at the city below. Then they look up to the sky, again as one, and let out a terrifying CATERWAUL that sounds like "HEXAPUSS!".

The red cat's eyes flash white, a magic circle appears around the red cat. Inside the magic circle is a red circle in the middle. The red circle divides in two, creating the same red circle and a new CYAN CIRCLE, touching each other in the middle of the magic circle.

The red cat divides in two, creating the same red cat and a new CYAN CAT. The two different colored cats' tails move in sync, and eventually move individually as the magic circle fades away and disappears. The two cats quickly become sleek black cats that are only distinguishable by their colored tails: RED AND CYAN.

They are now four cats and they head off toward the city in unison, walking in step. It's an unnatural sight.

A high-tech building uptown. A sign above the revolving glass doors reads "Scientific Corporation". The RED-TAILED CAT runs into the revolving doors as an EMPLOYEE is leaving.

The cat moves stealthily across the lobby, unseen by the SECURITY GUARD, and slips into an open elevator.

The cat walks into the lab. An attractive woman in a white lab coat sits at a computer bay. The cat MEOWS like a kitten.

She looks down, startled. A name tag reads "CHIEF SCIENTIST".

The Red-Tailed Cat jumps up on her desk.

The cat's eyes begin to GLOW RED. She stares in wonder, watching as it squats and releases a GLOWING RED TURD. A fine mist of red-hued particles lifts from it, drifting into the air like living spores. Toxoplasmosis, weaponized.

Something passes between them TELEPATHICALLY. The Chief Scientist stiffens, then turns to her computer, eyes GLOWING RED. She opens a new folder and titles it: "HEXAPUSS".

She places her hand on the MONITOR and information fills the screen, high-tech schematics resembling a PINBALL MACHINE...

A rundown MUSIC STUDIO on the wrong side of the tracks.

The GREEN-TAILED CAT moves past the railroad tracks towards the music studio building.

The green cat's eyes flash white, a magic circle appears around the green cat. Inside the magic circle is a green circle in the middle. The green circle divides in two, creating the same green circle and a new MAGENTA CIRCLE, touching each other in the middle of the magic circle.

The green cat divides in two, creating the same green cat and a new MAGENTA CAT. The two different colored cats' tails move in sync, and eventually move individually as the magic circle fades away and disappears. The two cats quickly become sleek black cats that are only distinguishable by their colored tails: GREEN AND MAGENTA.

The GREEN-TAILED CAT moves down the block toward the front door. The cat assesses the situation, then leaps up onto a garbage can, and enters through an OPEN WINDOW.

The cat surveys the room from the window ledge: The small rehearsal space is littered with fast food wrappers and beer cans. A four member METAL BAND are sitting around dejectedly.

They look defeated: The DRUMMER is passed out, the GUITARIST is tuning his guitar, the BASSIST is bouncing a tennis ball off the wall, and the SINGER is pacing with a pad and pen.

The cat purposefully knocks over an empty can as the Singer passes by. He looks over at the Green-Tailed Cat.

He moves closer to the cat.

The cat's eyes begin to GLOW GREEN as it defecates, dropping a GREEN GLOWING TURD onto the ledge.

A green-hued MIST is released from the turd into the air. The Singer's eyes GLOW GREEN. He stiffens, then rushes to a table and wipes the junk off, spilling everything onto the floor.

The other band members look up - What's happening?

The Singer writes furiously in his pad. His bandmates crowd around, looking at the musical notes spilling out of him.

And above the notes, a single name, underlined

The Singer keeps scribbling like he's possessed. Then the green-hued particles hit his bandmates. Their eyes GLOW GREEN too. They all reach for their instruments.

The building's windows are all dark save for one.

The Chief Scientist works at a giant 3D PRINTER connected to dozens of wires and monitors that feed into a supercomputer.

She watches anxiously as the PINBALL MACHINE is printed. The Red-Tailed Cat PURRS in satisfaction and rubs up against her.

The BLUE CAT moves towards a large CONCERT VENUE

The blue cat's eyes flash white, a magic circle appears around the blue cat. Inside the magic circle is a blue circle in the middle. The blue circle divides in two, creating the same blue circle and a new YELLOW CIRCLE, touching each other in the middle of the magic circle.

The blue cat divides in two, creating the same blue cat and a new YELLOW CAT. The two different colored cats' tails move in sync, and eventually move individually as the magic circle fades away and disappears. The two cats quickly become sleek black cats that are only distinguishable by their colored tails: BLUE AND YELLOW.

The BLUE-TAILED CAT enters a large CONCERT VENUE on the heels of an EMPLOYEE carrying a box of coffee and donuts.

The cat moves down the hall and stops at a door labeled "Venue Manager". It uses a paw to push the door open.

A heavy-set man sits behind a desk covered in paperwork.

The cat saunters forward and leaps onto the chair in front of his desk. It's eyes begin to GLOW BLUE. The Venue manager watches in horror as it squats and drops a GLOWING BLUE TURD.

The cat watches as the Venue Manager directs WORKERS putting the finishing touches on the new MARQUEE: "Tonight Only - HEXAPUSS!"

A grassy city college quad filled with STUDENTS between classes. The CYAN-TAILED CAT moves along the main path, emitting GLOWING CYAN-COLORED FECES at regular intervals. Each tiny turd spreading cosmic spores.

Student's eyes FLASH CYAN before reverting to normal.

A crowded SUBWAY CAR comes to a stop. PASSENGERS enter and exit. The YELLOW-TAILED CAT slips in, eyes GLOWING YELLOW.

The cat starts moving between the passengers. As it does, it starts dropping GLOWING YELLOW TURDS. A yellow cloud spreads out and people's eyes start FLASHING YELLOW.

The MAGENTA-TAILED CAT walks down a seedy block. It stops in front of a TATTOO PARLOR with some SKATEBOARDERS doing tricks out front. The cat squats and takes a GLOWING MAGENTA crap.

As the magenta-hued cloud spreads, the skateboarders jerk to a halt, one wiping out. Their eyes FLASH MAGENTA.

The others reply with "Epic!" and "It's on!".

The studio looks even worse by day than it did at night.

A VAN with a Scientific Corporation logo stops in front. The Chief Scientist exits and walks up to the door. Behind her, the Red-Tailed Cat sits on the dashboard, watching.

The studio door is opened by the Singer -

The Chief Scientist smiles knowingly in reply. The Green Cat appears by the Singer's leg, and makes eye contact with its counterpart in the van, giving it a subtle wink.

A large open CRATE with a Scientific Corporation logo rests on a dolly. Nearby, an epic PINBALL MACHINE is set up. The name "HEXAPUSS" is displayed prominently on the artwork.

The band watch the Chief Scientist bend down and plug it in.

The machine comes alive with a blast of sound and light.

The Singers steps up to play. When he takes hold of the plunger, his eyes GLOW WHITE. He let's go of the plunger and there's a loud CRACK as it strikes the silver ball. His bandmates eyes all LIGHT UP, glowing white as well.

OFF TO THE SIDE, the Red-Tailed Cat and the Green-Tailed Cat sit next to each other, their tails swishing in synch.

The band crowds around the singer as he plays. When he completes the MULTIBALL game mechanic, chaos erupts!

The machine vibrates and reconfigures, seemingly melting into a VORTEX OF ENERGY.

As the guys race to their gear, the vortex EXPANDS, spreading out and engulfing the whole studio.

Outside the venue the place is mayhem. There's a huge MOB surrounding the entrance and blocking the street.

The show is sold out. The wild-eyed CROWD is made up of all the people seen earlier being influenced by the Cyan, Yellow and Magenta-Tailed Cats.

ON STAGE, the band materializes, instruments in hand. The six cats appear as well, lined up on stage like some kind of feline security team.

The band launches into their NEW SONG. The crowd goes nuts.

AT THE OTHER END of the venue, the Chief Scientist is at the MERCH BOOTH. Her lab coat is off, as she pull's a T-Shirt on over her naked torso. The VENDOR stares at her in awe.

She turns, a sly grin on her lips, wearing a tight black concert tee with "HEXAPUSS" printed in heavy metal font. She then lets down her hair and takes off her glasses, replacing them with sun glasses. She looks over the crowd, toward the MOSH PIT. In front of the stage, concert-goers throw themselves at each other with abandon, moving in a circle.

ABOVE THEM,

A tricolored ball of ENERGY forms mid-air, made up of RED, GREEN and BLUE light. It draws power from the moshers, driving them into a frenzy. Violence breaks out. They start tearing each other apart in a SPRAY OF BLOOD.

ON STAGE, blood hits the Singer in the face, like war paint -

The crowd let's out a PRIMAL SCREAM and rips into one another with greater fervor. In reply, the ball of light grows even larger, supercharged, splitting into three solid colored balls of RED, GREEN AND BLUE that hover overhead.

As the song crescendos, the three balls SLAM together creating a BLINDING WHITE LIGHT which opens a massive COSMIC GATE. Behind the light, something very dark approaches...

The Singer, EYES GLOWING WHITE, roars into the mic

The crowd, eyes also GLOWING WHITE, yell back at him as one

The Chief Scientist, blood-spattered, writhes in ecstasy.

The crowd is driven totally mad as an ELDRITCH BEING, hungry to enter our dimension, floats toward the open gate...

It looks like a ginormous black cat head, bigger than a house, with shining eyes and six monstrous tentacles

HEXAPUSS!
