Chapter 2- A Luna theft, fireflies and the first clue!
This story along with Luna Girl's history in my version of the lore was partly inspired by Bouken Dutch 2.0. Lilifée's role and the Mascoundrels' appearance were inspired by the books the PJ masks are based on and yasakahimi's 'Beware the Mascoundrels' story.
Also, Tina's name being the same in my story is just a coincidence.
There will be some 'deleted' characters in this story as well.
Elements of different episodes seen in the timeline are included here. The episode stories belong to the show writers, I'm borrowing them for the sake of my story and timeline. So Spoilers.
That night (The same day the trio had recovered from the kidnapping incident with Romeo), a mysterious figure quietly broke into the library to do research on a mythical place called 'Mystery Mountain'.
The figure had spiky pink hair and pink eyes wearing violet glasses with white-green horns, black costume with a bright aqua lines and pink wings that could be summoned at will.
It was this same time, the Mascoundrels encountered the snow leopard figure and ran back to their hideout in confusion and fear.
Two days later, the small armadillo witnessed Greg go to his friends telling them about the small car Cameron let him yesterday.
When he led his friends to where he left it, it was gone and Cameron was unhappy that Greg had 'lost' it.
Determined to get it back and prove it wasn't his fault, Greg put his arm out.
"PJ Masks, we're on our way!" Greg began.
"Into the night to save the day" The trip finished as they did a threesome fistpump before day turned into night.
"Night in the city and a brave band of heroes are ready to protect your day" The narrator announced.
In sync, Greg, Amya and Connor transform and were then transported to the HQ by their spirit animals in light form.
Gekko looked at the PJ Picture player and spotted Luna Girl in Cameron's car.
In response, he activated the Gekko-mobile and the three of them jumped inside as Gekko drove his vehicle through the pond and onto the road where they found Luna Girl racing the luna moths with glee.
"I was wondering when you guys would show up. Try and catch me, PJ sloths!" Luna Girl cried as she drove off.
Gekko ran after her as she indirectly caused him to ruin the playground.
"Gekko, what happened?" Owlette asked after Luna Girl escaped and hid behind the HQ statue.
"It was an accident, Luna Girl made me do it!" Gekko cried.
"But you caused the mess while pursuing her" Owlette stated.
Luna Girl, while hiding, realised she could use Gekko's anger to destroy the HQ.
At the same time…
The Mascoundrels was still hiding in their hideout, terrified of the idea that a hero already knew their team name.
"Should we investigate?" Nightcrawler asked, worriedly.
"Look for the snow guardian" Chóng replied
"Shǔ, you guys have taught us all we know but why do these totems exist?" Packrat questioned.
"Great question, Nathan. The three of you must work with the snow guardian to find out the answer to that question" Shǔ replied.
"Just beware, there are artificial totems about. I can feel it" Fēi warned.
The person that the three spirit animals were referring to was called Lilifée.
She was the young girl with blue eyes and blond hair with pigtails coming out of her white face mask wearing a white dress, gloves and boots who had caused snow to fall before the snow leopard hero had appeared.
She was currently on a cloud watching everything transpire from the sky as she had made sure the snow melted before anyone realised she had returned unannounced and was why the PJ Masks were unaware of her.
As Gekko was led toward the HQ and tricked into using his super gecko muscles to tip the totem pole by Luna Girl, The Mascoundrels went out to find Lilifée.
The same small armadillo observed everything before disappearing towards the direction of the PJ Masks' HQ.
Patch had Gris stay on guard duty for the Night Den as he went out on his own to investigate the snow leopard he had seen in his dream.
From the mountains, léopard des neiges watched intently not realising another figure was also observing the heroes from the shadows, gathering intel on their abilities.
"Come out, Snow leopard!" Patch cried.
On a camouflaged motorcycle, Léopard des neiges teleported into the outskirts of the city where Patch was waiting.
"You called?" the young mysterious feline asked.
"I need answers. How did you know there would be a robbery at the toy store and who the masked trio were before they even announced it to the world?" Patch asked in a semi-demanding voice.
"Same way you did but precognition. I was warned that it would happen and was told their names from my spirit animal Xuě. So what else do you wish to know?" Léopard des neiges questioned.
"Why show up now and what happened to the people who once used the Night Den?" Patch asked, curiously.
"I was told to wait for when I'd be needed and I've been observing the hero trio you've met as well. As for The Night Den of the past, get your friends to check their computer function and see for yourself" Léopard des neiges replied.
Then without warning, he vanished and Patch had to head back to the HQ.
At this time, a young girl wearing purple pjmamas with brown eyes and short black hair was woken up loud thudding.
She looked through her window which was about 2 miles from where the park was located and saw Gekko and Owlette working toward to keep their totem pole from falling over.
When she looked to her right, she noticed Lilifée was talking to someone from a distance.
Feeling curious, she was about to go out to investigate when Patch, as he was hurrying to the HQ, spotted her trying to leave her room.
He stopped in his tracks, gave a serious look right at her and shook his head.
'Don't leave. It's dangerous' his eyes were saying.
Then he continued running.
Although the girl was intrigued by the cat, she realised she was very tired.
I can investigate tomorrow night, she thought as she went back to bed.
This girl's name was Bella and the young girl wasn't even away that Romeo's robot who had been shrunk was spying on her.
Back outside the HQ…
"Luna Girl, it's not your fault I did all this destruction. I have to take responsibility for my actions. I'm sorry, everyone" Gekko said, sadly.
Catboy put his right hand on his friend's shoulder.
"It's alright, Gekko. We can get the car back together" he reassured him.
Just after Luna Girl drove away with Gekko holding her luna board, he got a brilliant idea.
Using the board together, they flew past Luna Girl and convinced her to swap the car with the board.
Once Luna Girl flew away with her moths to regroup in her Luna Lair to form her next move, Gekko gave the car one last ride but accidently broke the horn.
After driving it back to Greg's house and fixing the horn, they went back to their HQ to make sure there was no damage on it.
Patch just managed to catch them at this moment as he got through the door after Gekko.
"PJ Masks! Can you look up 'The Night Den' on your machine?" Patch pleaded.
Catboy got the Picture player up and looked up the word to see if any footage could come up.
After about 10 minutes, nothing came up to everyone's shock.
"Patch, are we supposed to find information from that search?" Gekko asked in confusion.
"I don't understand, there should be records here!" Patch exclaimed in shock.
"So, what were you expecting to find?" Catboy asked.
"Information on what happened to the heroes that came before you and why the Night Den is mostly abandoned" Patch replied, sadly.
"Cheer up, young cat. We could try to help you with this task after all we could ask if the library has information or our parents" Owlette suggested.
"Good idea. I'll try to join you tomorrow, good night children" Patch smiled as he began to leave the building with renewed hope.
"PJ masks all shout hooray because in the night we save the day!" the heroes chanted while jumping in the air in victory.
Once the trio were back in bed, Romeo returned to his factory and reviewed his plans.
"Since my dad is taking me on a trip in three weeks' time, I can work on my next project: trying to get into their HQ" Romeo mumbled to himself.
Robot returned from his scouting mission.
"I found one of the children related to the people on your father's list, master" Robot reported.
"Excellent. Good Job, Robot. Once I figure out the thing my dad never completed after I see the telescope, I'll have the pieces needed to take over the world! MWHAAA!" Romeo cried.
"Is that so?" an unfamiliar, female voice asked.
Romeo looked around him in confusion.
"Who's there?" he asked.
"My visual sensors do not detector anything, Master" Robot stated.
"My name is not important right now but I know how you can plan what you want to do when you're the ruler of the world" The voice pointed out.
"I already have a plan for that phase it's…um…" Romeo trailed off.
"You don't have notes for that, master" Robot interjected.
"Quiet, Robot or I'll be forced to make another companion!" Romeo barked.
"So, would you like help or not?" The voice asked in a soothing voice.
"Yes, I need help. Who do you have in mind?" Romeo asked.
"Firstly, I need you to keep your small-sizer device in a safe place and then make a teleporter device. It will be useful for your plan to get in the heroes' HQ. However, have you ever wondered if there's more than three night time villians?" The villian persisted.
Romeo looked confused.
I haven't even made a small-sizer yet... He thought.
"There's more?" He asked.
The voice chuckled.
"Yes, you'll meet more eventually. However, who I have in mind to help is more intriguing" The voice continued.
Romeo then began to feel lightheaded as images flashed in his mind:
A figure with spiky pink hair and pink eyes wearing violet glasses with white-green horns, black costume with a bright aqua lines and pink wings that could be summoned at will, The Mascoundrels and a mysterious fox figure.
"So how do I get their help?" Romeo asked after the pain went away.
"Leave that to me. You've got a teleporter to build remember?" The voice reminded him as the room began to go silent, Romeo caught a glimpse of movement from the faint light in his factory: red eyes.
That was all he got managed to see before he was left alone with just Robot for company.
-Inside a blue ninja Bus-
Night Ninja was getting his Ninjalinos to make their own night parade led by himself.
"So, my comrades, we will need to find a drum for this parade. But I suggest we wait two more nights while planning this event" the self-absorbed Ninja stated.
The Ninjalinos agreed.
None of them realised they were being watched either.
Once everyone else was in bed, Patch and his new friend Gris could relax.
"I do wonder how long I'm supposed to be here for. I have this time travel mission I've been preparing for and well I'm a bit worried I might screw it up. Maybe being here long is like a small break or test for me" Patch confessed.
"Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm happy to have someone to talk to. Those kind heroes don't understand me when I talk but you're like a bridge between man and cat" Gris stated, sleepily but with a chilled voice.
"Thanks, Gris" Patch replied while drifting to sleep.
The Mascoundrels saw Lilifée after everyone else had left but due to how late it was, they were unable to approach her immediately.
The next day, Greg returns the car to Cameron and shows him the replacement horn.
Afterwards the trio went inside their respective houses to ask their parents the same question:
"Do you know anything about real superheroes and a place called The night Den?"
All the parents looked at their partners with a knowingly look that the children didn't acknowledge.
"Is this for a school project?" Greg's dad asked.
"Yes, if you don't know anything maybe we can check out the library?" Greg suggested.
-In Connor's house-
"Well, there is a legend that heroes used a place with that name but vanished about 15 or so years out once they got too old for being a hero. Some say that five heroes lost the items that turn them into heroes, others say they ran off to another country" Conner's dad replied.
Connor thought intently about the answer.
"Oh Dad, can we go to the library today? I can ask my friends to come with us with the tablet I got last year" Connor suggested.
"But Amaya doesn't have a tablet yet" Connor's dad pointed out.
"However I can phone over" Connor's mother added.
Connor's eye lit up.
"Thank you!" He said excitedly as he gave them both a big hug.
-At Amaya's house-
"Alright, we will let you do research at the library but remember to feed your pet" Amaya's mother remined her.
After giving her a hug, Amaya ran upstairs to see her reddish bird affectionately named 'Birdie' in her cage.
"Patch will be so happy when he finds out" She giggled.
-Meanwhile-
Luna Girl was still inside her Luna Lair in a shaded area watching everyone enjoy the sunshine to her frustration.
The lair was a sliver floating sphere with a door that comes down from above for Luna Girl to come out of and possessed defense mechanisms, such as a force field to keep intruders away, and an automatic Luna Beam to capture and immobilize those attempting to break in.
"It's not fair! I still can't go out in the daylight. It hurts my skin" She complained.
"What if I told you that there's a way to get back at the heroes for stealing your luna board last night" The same voice that spoken to Romeo, said.
Before Luna Girl could react, the voice shushed her.
"Give the boy called Connor in Blue a present, pretend to be someone he knows and remember they have a hot air balloon" The voice told her.
Seeing the piece laid out, Luna Girl, without questioning the voice, just smiled silently as a plan began to form in her mind.
"Good luck, Sorceline" The voice stated as the young girl was left alone with just her moths for company.
The seeds of ideas for two villians were now planted, now it was just a matter of waiting for the heroes to eventually meet their match.
-To Be continued-
I hope you're enjoying the story so far. Yes, I know you're wondering how the voice is. Um, I'll allude to that in the Origins story.
Anyway, feel free to suggest ideas. I still haven't seen any episodes after 'The Mountain Prisoner' and yeah I do plan to address Armadillian in both stories but apparently his episode is actually part of Season 2 not a flashback because of PJ Robot. So, um I'm removing his debut episode from the timeline since it will be replaced with my version of his debut.
So, I'll have to edit chapter 1 at some point. Um, I'll be updating the other story eventually.
Oh and question of the day: Should there be daytime 'heroes' as well?
See ya next time, Grace out!
Note: The voice is Masque Ombre.
