Hello, fanfiction freaks! So, this is my first KFP story ever, and the first story I have published in the internet!
Well, the general idea came from my little cousin who loves KFP too so I dedicate this to her.
I am Brazilian so I'm writing her story in Portuguese. I (will) translate it to English before I post it here. So it's likely that you find weird sentences and spelling errors. Whenever you find 'em, please warn me so I can improve my writing!
On with the story!
I don't own KFP; the ideas I took from the movies are not mine and all that obvious stuff you already know. What I created is mine and what DreamWorks created is Dreamworks'.

This prologue starts approximately in 8000 BC and ends at modern times.
Long ago, in ancient ages, the animals ruled over the world. In Asia, China was the most prosperous country, for a giant tortoise has invented Kung Fu. The art of Kung Fu quickly spread all over the Continent, reaching unknown lands and varied cultures. Due to its pacific principles, all Asian civilizations coexisted peacefully for a long time. Little did they know that their admirable stability would be ruined in the near future.
Slowly expanding its dominions out of Africa's entrails, a strange animal race was involuntarily starting to settle the roots of a whole new world. Just like the majority of Asian animals from that time, this unknown species had in its cells the rare combination of genes which provides rational thinking ability.
However, free will could never be an exact science; meaning that the new civilization's features were pretty much different from the Asian ones.
Its lifestyle was based on three distinct ideas. First, quite common among many species: Do not stay alone. As a fragile and easily knocked down creature, it is highly recommended to live in clusters so that more effective defense strategies can be used against enemies. Second: Kill to survive if needed. The new race's aggressiveness levels usually depended on each being's day-by-day. This was also quite common among other creatures; as some tend to be more aggressive than others.
Alright: so far, so good. They might just be a little tougher.
But what really mattered lied on the third principle. It was responsible for the great majority of events that were about to occur in the following millennia. One single idea would be the source of the significant upcoming conflicts, discoveries and negotiations.
The third principle was: Disseminate and worship evolution. Evolution was obviously the rational thinking ability. The problem was in the fact that the new species' members did not know that other beings had already been granted the same gift. So a crooked idea thrived into their minds. They started believing that they were superior.
.
As the new race enlargened in number and land possessions, migratory birds began to warn the nearby villages about the fast and unexpected expansion. They flew to northern Africa and Middle East, from where the news quickly spread throughout Asia. Then they flew to Europe and found many other villages inhabited by the same species' beings. Their skin color was much lighter than the African's one, though.
After observing the new creatures' behavior for some months, the birds found out that the lighter creatures were unlikely to mix up with the darker ones. Nonetheless, there was something in common among them: both dark and light creatures usually referred to themselves as humankind. It is believed that that word is an abbreviation for "Hue Mankind", possibly relating to the species' color diversity and unblending conduct. The birds noticed that the new species held a strong endurance against the different; a sort of self-conceit that was believed to be extinct or at least under control after the diffusion of Kung Fu. But they also knew that no concept could propagate endlessly without being distorted. Word-of-mouth communication could twist even the most solid and worldwide-known ideas. And that's how the art of Kung Fu reached the new civilians. Pretty much distorted. They were taught as if the martial art was all about fighting; they did not learn self-control, inner peace or patience concepts.
The new species was becoming a potential threat to all other forms of being. They eventually became known as humans; and wherever that word was pronounced, there would be panic and fear. In order to keep the continent's consistency, the influential leaders from all of Asia decided to keep the humankind matters a secret. They'd deal with it in the shadows.
.
Thousands of years later, the humans would still be there. New beliefs and forms of knowledge would slowly construct a world where everything spins around humans' longings; from futile and materialistic wishes to genuine and altruistic matters.
In the year of 2100 AD, the source of intelligence would be named GC4040 (Gene Combination 4040); and a newly created machine – the most wanted and controversial invention of humankind – would be ready to function.

Yeah, that was probably very boring… and short. I won't sue you if you want to wait for/jump to the interesting parts ^^ I myself do that sometimes. But most of the time I have to go back and read everything for I don't understand stuff that was previously explained in the tedious parts :P There are missing explanations which will be given in the course of the story.
And yeah the first paragraph was based on the second movie's beginning.
R&R Please!
