Hello again! Welcome to the first chapter of my newest story, "Super Cartoon All-Stars: The Great 150 Hero Battle". It's based on the new Gokaiger movie and it involves 80s and 90s characters banding together on a quest to save Earth from total destruction.
Let me tell you how it all started. On DeviantArt, just after I welcomed him back into my circle of friends after unblocking him (why I had blocked him in the first place is just another story), Retro mania (Jeh517 on DA) showed me two pics that one of my friends did for him. They featured all the characters from the 80s and 90s. And then he announced a fanfic idea based on those pics, so...I decided to go for it.
So I hope you enjoy this chapter. Here is where the story begins.
DISCLAIMER: All the characters featured in this story belong to their respective companies. The character Brian belongs to Retro mania, and the rest belong to me.
Prologue
Millions and millions of years ago, long before the emergence of humans, a race of intelligent creatures called cartoons once ruled the earth. They had knowledge of everything that was, everything that is, and everything that will be; they were a utopian society, with all forms of political, social, and technological advances unknown to mankind. And since violence never existed yet at that time, the cartoons lived together peacefully and shared in the happiness and innocence of life with their fellow countrymen. Everyone...except the evil ones.
Like the cartoons, they too ruled the earth alongside them, but their real intention was to wipe out the entire cartoon race and have the whole earth to themselves. And they knew that the only way to do that is get a hold of one of the rarest jewels of the galaxy: The Greatest Treasure In The Universe. Its rainbow lights aglow, sending rays that inaugurate peace on earth, was responsible for maintaining the balance between good and evil; it belonged to only those who have the light in their souls and their appreciation for harmony with all creatures. Without the gem, the earth would be riddled with destruction and everything would be lost.
Eventually, the Toon Council learned of the villains' plans to steal the treasure and sought to punish them. The villains, however, weren't giving up without a fight, and the war between the good toons and evil toons began. After a few years, the villains were successfully banished...but the cartoons were devastated at the damage being done to their homeworld. They felt guilty at the destruction they had caused during their war with the villains-buildings had been demolished, roads and highways had been torn up, and nothing remained of the toons' homes except for piles of rubble, concrete, and wood. They had unknowingly destroyed everything.
The only thing that wasn't destroyed or taken away was the jewel itself; this was a sign to the toons that they shouldn't give up hope. Gaia, spirit of the earth, instructed the toons to store away the jewel in a safe place, a place where she knew nobody with an impure heart could find it. And so, the treasure was spirited away to an unknown designated spot somewhere on the farthest end of the galaxy, where it remains hidden to this day, waiting to be discovered. As for the ruined earth, it was promptly remade into a new one; this time, the toons agreed that they'd never rebuild their civilization on it again until they have learned from the mistakes they had made, so in their place the humans came to rule it and the toons transformed themselves into forms of entertainment.
Thousands of years later, on a cold night in February, a baby boy was born in a hospital in the suburbian town of Clearwater, Florida. Waking up from their million-year hibernation, the toons became aware of this piece of good news; in fact, it brought to mind a prophecy Gaia once made shortly after the jewel was hidden. Something great is going to happen to the infant one day. His parents don't know it yet, but this boy, this very special boy, will become the future hero of Earth. He will be the one to lead a new generation of cartoons in the eternal fight against all evil, to bring back the glory the ancient cartoons lost long ago. And with him, the jewel will be found, peace will return, and the cartoons will rule the earth once more.
