PJ Masks Origins
Based on the theory by A Dreamy Lizard from Tumblr who also translated a page from two of the French books: dreamy- post/158288444444/could-the-pj-masks-inherited- their-powers- from/ amp. There are some elements from Les Pyjamasques book series by French author Romuald Racioppo in this story to connect elements of the books and show together.
P0ketiger owns the dog tag idea, Batarina, Hedgehog boy and Arachnigirl. I'm just borrowing them for this story and possibly my other PJ Masks story.
About 20 years ago, there were a group of heroes called the 'PJ Masks'. In this team, there were 6 of them.
Four of them possessed the blue tiger, red owl, green gecko and brown armadillo totems from their parents.
The other two had the lion and fox totems.
These totems had been handed down for generations.
They had all been told about the legend of the totem animals who came from the stars and protected children from nightmares as their guardians of sleep.
In those dreams, each totem animal gave the child of their choice part of their power and taught them how to use it in the dream for times of trouble.
These heroes were known as 'Tigre Yoyo', 'Redwing Bibou', 'Newt Gluglu', 'Sunfang', 'Renarde' and Tatou.
Tatou, Armadillian's future dad had moved from America to France due to his parents' job change and the call to help in France by his totem guardian.
In their many adventures together, they met others with the dark green Heron totem, pink rhino totem, light blue snow leopard totem, white unicorn, Pink Salamander (Axolotol) Totem and even a red deer totem. These heroes were more on the neutral side and would occasionally help the heroes or villians whenever it suited them.
They were known as 'Heron', 'Mystique blanc', 'Neige Félin', 'Pink Gill' and 'Marron mâle'
The heroes during this time were called Selene's strikers.
Their accomplices had the night worm, tera fly and rat totems and were very mischievous.
In their adventures, they faced Theo Mecano, Silver Sorceline (Luna Girl's mother), Night Warrior (Night Ninja's future uncle, Nigel Takeshi), three teenaged wolf people who didn't disclose their names and an 8-year-old Energyboy (Future Energyman) trying to train to be a hero who had moved recently from America with his parents.
Energyboy was a young hero with purple eyes in a green and purple suit with a mask that looked like a helmet with bull horns and a belt with gadgets that included a ball and net launcher. His horns could detect incoming noises and danger like a radar.
Silver Sorceline was a 9 year old female with silver hair and blue eyes wearing a star themed outfit vaguely similar to Luna Girl's. Her family descended from a line of sorcerers known as 'Sorcelines' in French. Her ancestor was the one who discovered the moon crystal which was recorded in a book by a traveller known as Romuld with witness accounts from the dreamer sloth and heroes with the totem animals from that time.
One of her accomplices that was also a sorceline forged the Luna Magnet and gave it to her to use as it was one of the first moon items tested with the moon crystal before Silver Sorceline's ancestor was banned from the moon.
These villians hadn't received any totems and their main goal was to discover the source of the heroes' power.
What the villians had received from their family was a mysterious Luna magnet, a book about moon legends, a ninja training scroll with items that disclose different weapons a ninja can use at night, information about Mystery Mountain and a manual of how to build gadgets.
When Silver Sorceline met the young Energyboy in his green outfit with gadgets like a ball and energy gun, she was intrigued by his potential.
"I think I know how you can prove your worth as a hero" Sliver Sorceline said.
"How?" Energyboy asked.
"Test your skills by fighting me" she suggested.
"Fight you? I… don't know if I can hit a girl" Energyboy said, worriedly.
"I won't be offended, it's sparring session" the young villainess reassured him.
The young hero stood up and got into a ready stance.
"Alright but go easy on me ok?" He stated.
Sliver Sorceline smirked.
"I didn't promise that" She remarked.
They began to spar together as Tatou's pet armadillo named 'Dylan' spied on them.
The duo opted to spar every other night when the other heroes and villians were not active to get Energyboy's fighting skills at a good level.
Over time, the heroes faced a magpie-themed sorceress, Sandman, individuals similar to Lilifée with one being called 'Cloudflight' and 'Blizzard Storm'.
Cloudflight wore a suit with a cloud pattern and mask showing only his green eyes while Blizzard Storm wore a white and blue suit with a snowflake pattern and mask showing only her blue eyes.
Night Warrior had a sleek blue suit similar to Night Ninja only with a sliver belt supplied with smoke bombs and Nunchakus. His suit and language skills allowed him to understand the Ninjalinos.
The Ninjalinos were a group of ninja warriors from a place on the outskirts of Japan that most people thought had been lost to the 'waves of time'.
The Ninjalios' training ground in the past was Mystery Mountain, a place that was hidden from the city by mystical forces.
They were discovered by Night Warrior's grandfather a long time ago.
Theo uncovered during one of his findings a book about nocturnal animals and the symbolism behind their totems.
He resembled Romeo through his blue eyes and black hair and lab coat. The difference between himself and his future son was that he had no white streak in his hair which was styled down and he was more focused on his goals as being a 9 year old, he didn't gloat his plans to the world or have robot helpers.
The book he found included a bat, Hedgehog, spider, Badger, a flying squirrel, wolf and firefly.
When he looked up the legend of the totem animals that the heroes possessed, Bat, hedgehog, spider, badger, flying squirrel, wolf and firefly were not listed.
He began to investigate the totem bracelets' power and through studying the heroes noticed that the spirit animals when the heroes returned to normal were transported to somewhere in the HQ located in the park.
When the heroes were busy facing Night Warrior and Silver Sorceline who had recently found native Luna moths in the area, Theo snuck into the HQ to investigate.
He waited till about 10 pm from a safe hiding place as the three main spirit animals the lizard, owl and cat flew back to the HQ and into the floor where a light glowed just before going off.
Theo wasn't able to figure out what was located down there but he got out a notebook and wrote his hypothesis on where the spirit animals possibly go after the heroes go to bed.
So, when the PJ Masks were not in the HQ, Theo would study the area and the heroes' abilities from afar and in combat which helped him form his biggest project ever: Operation COMBAT.
The heroes during this time were called Selene's strikers (Only being referred to 'The PJ masks of the Past' in present day).
When the heroes were out one time in July during a full moon chasing Silver Sorceline and Night Warrior, light was reflected on the moon through the sun's ray turning it into a blood moon during the lunar eclipse.
The only heroes that were out were Tigre Yoyo, Redwing Bibou, Newt Gluglu and Tatou.
The others were at a new place. The moon and by extension, the spirit animals had given them a second HQ for the secondary heroes with a spare room in case Tatou decided to move in.
It was dubbed the 'Night Den' and those heroes were using it to survey the area with its equipment like the holographic enhanced telescope and database.
Neige Félin who was on a mountain motorcycle and Renarde in stealth mode, were on a separate mission to locate the scrolls of Mystery Mountain and Ninjitsu history which included details of a legendary rock and Levitation techniques.
Silver Sorceline's eyes went black and screams of pain were heard from her as the blood moon's power took hold of her.
During the blood moon phase, her power was more powerful than when the moon crystal is used for a short amount of time.
"Silver Sorceline, return the stolen items from the library this instant!" Tigre Yoyo cried.
The young sorceress turned to the heroes and used the moon's energy to cause an earthquake.
Energyboy's helmet horns blinked in range of danger and went running in the direction of Silver Sorceline.
-To be continued-
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of my origins story. I'm gonna leave some things a mystery so the present day heroes uncover some clues about their past too so it's not completely flashback.
I'm doing my best to expand the lore by mixing the show with the books, so um let me know if there anything you wish to suggest (Shipping stuff isn't really allowed because I'm very conscience of the characters being children and while 6 year olds can experience Romanic love, it's different to them because of their age and level of maturity. we, adults call it 'innocent love' or something and it doesn't always last long for children. Please bare in mind I'm not an expert. I can hint possible feelings but nothing more ok?)
Anyway see you next time.
