At the playground, a kid in a full-covered navy blue ninja costume with nighttime stars on it stood in front of more kids in ninja costumes, but their outfits were purple and they were smaller— probably younger.
"Okay, Ninjalinos, watch me!" The night ninja jumped in the air, kicking and spinning. He landed neatly on the ground.
The Ninjalinos copied him. Well, tried to anyway. They bumped into one another and fell on their faces. They sat up and started laughing.
"Focus, Ninjalinos!" their leader snapped. "We have to practice to get better."
One of the Ninjalinos said something, but it was just gibberish.
"Why?" the night ninja echoed what the younger ninja most likely said. "Because," he answered as he did a flip in the air and landed on the turned over slide," I'm the best ninja ever, and everyone needs to know it!" He reached behind his back and pulled out sticky splat. Spinning, he splattered the swings on the other side of the playground.
"Bullseye!" the night ninja declared.
His Ninjalinos cheered for him.
"Hold it right there, Night Ninja!"
Startled, Night Ninja spun around. A girl stood on the fence. She had white and silver sparkly hair that faded to black toward the end. She wore a black mask over her face, and a black and gray suit with a lunar eclipse on it.
Night Ninja gasped. "Luna Girl! What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing," Luna Girl retorted. "Up to no good, I presume."
"Just practicing," Night Ninja responded. He gestured to his Ninjalinos, and they split up, giggling. Luna Girl glanced nervously at them. Night Ninja stole her attention. "Must we play this game every night, Luna Girl? I don't see why we have to be enemies. We can join forces and rule the night together!"
"Join forces? With you?" Luna Girl turned her back on him. "Never! I'm good, and I will always defeat you, Night Ninja." When she turned back, she realized the Ninjalinos were closer. They jumped at her, and barely without a second to think, Luna Girl hopped off the fence. The Ninjalinos slammed into one another.
"Ugh! Can't you Ninjalinos do anything right?" Night Ninja rolled his eyes. "If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself."
Night Ninja prepared himself to jump over the fence. But just then, Luna Girl reappeared, this time on her hovering board, with her Luna Magnet in hand. She also now had her moths with her.
Faced with all of Luna Girl's powers, Night Ninja was rethinking a few things. The Ninjalinos took one look at Luna Girl and her Luna Magnet, and took off in the other direction.
"Ugh!" Night Ninja huffed. "We'll be back, Luna Girl! We'll keep practicing and some day beat you." He turned and ran after his Ninjalinos.
Luna Girl was laughing at the pathetic ninjas as they retreated. "Good luck with that, Night Ninja!" she called after them. "For as long as the moon shines in the night sky, I will be here to stop nighttime villains like you!"
The Cat-car raced around the corner and skidded to a halt. The door opened, and the PJ Masks hopped out. They gathered together.
"That was awesome!" Gekko whooped.
"It was," Catboy agreed. "The Cat-car is super fast! Like me!" He used his Super Cat Speed to run around his friends, but he was going too fast and didn't have time to dodge a lamppost.
"Catboy!" his teammates gasped, running to him. "Are you okay, Catboy?" Gekko asked as he helped him back to his feet.
Catboy rubbed his head. "Yeah," he replied. "Just a bit of a headache now."
"You were right, Catboy," Owlette told him. "We do need practice."
Catboy was about to agree, when suddenly a flash of blue and purple caught his eye. He turned just in time to see what seemed to be kids jumping over the wall of the playground, disappearing into the night. The PJ Masks stared after them, before exchanging looks, too stunned to speak.
A voice brought their attention back to the playground. A girl was hovering there on a board, and she seemed to be calling after the kids who were running away. Catboy glanced at Gekko and Owlette. Then they all ran over to the strange girl.
"Hello?" Catboy hesitantly said.
The girl snapped around, her eyes huge. Clearly, she wasn't expecting Catboy and his team, and why should she have? They didn't know her, so of course she didn't have a clue who they were.
The girl hopped off her board and landed in front of the PJ Masks. A swarm of moths appeared over the wall and flew to the sparkling gray-haired kid, who looked Catboy, Gekko, and Owlette up and down.
"Who are you?" she asked with a slight attitude.
Catboy took a step forward. "We're the PJ Masks. I'm Catboy, and this is Gekko and Owlette."
"Hello," Owlette said politely.
"Hey," Gekko greeted her.
The girl nodded in acknowledgement. "Name's Luna Girl." She paused for a moment, then asked," Where did you come from?"
"Oh, it's kinda a long story," Catboy responded, and he and the other two began to tell their story, starting from that morning when they met Gekko.
