A/N: In this, everyone is aged up to 16. This is my version of the PJ Mask origin story. Now, let's begin.
It all began on a class trip to the mountains. Conner, Amaya, and Greg are three strangers who go to the same school. Once they parked at the national park, the teacher stood up from his spot. "Ok guys, it's a great honor that we got invited to come here," he explained. "We have to be on our best behavior if we want to get invited back. That means no sneaking off."
"We know, you've gone over this same speech fifty times," Adrien groaned. Adrien was a boy on Conner's soccer team. He was also a close friend of Conner's. "We don't have to be reminded every five minutes."
"That's what you said on our last class trip," the teacher said. "Remember, you went missing for five hours and ruined the trip for everyone. If I had my way, you wouldn't be here. You'd be back at the school, doing busy work. But your parents paid for this trip so you had to go."
They then leave the bus. Amaya noticed a Totem Pole. It had the face of a cat, owl, and a gecko. She found it strange since, during all of the research she did on this national park, she didn't read anything about this or what it meant.
The class was split into two different groups. This was to relieve some of the stress from the tour guides. Greg didn't care which group he was placed into since he was more of a loner. Conner was separated from Amaya and Conner and was placed with a tour guide named Susan.
She led them on a path that went threw the forest. Greg saw a gecko was clinging to the tree, but he wasn't camouflaged, which left him open to predators. Greg usually would just walk passed it, but something was telling him to follow it. He followed it threw the forest.
The gecko was moving quickly towards a mountain. Greg was having a hard time keeping up, but he kept going so he wouldn't lose the small lizard. He climbed up the mountain where he tripped over a rock. To his surprise, the gecko waited for him to get back up. He got up and finished the rest of the journey without incident.
Once he arrived at where the gecko was leading him, he noticed he wasn't alone. A boy and a girl were present. He recognized the boy as Conner Mayfield, the star player from the school's soccer team. He had no idea who the girl was though.
"What are you two doing here?" Amaya asked.
"I followed a cat here," Conner confessed. "I know it sounds dumb, but it was leading me here. I have a feeling it was leading me here for a reason."
"That usually would sound very dumb, but I can't judge since I followed an owl here," Amaya sighed. She then got an idea. "Maybe that's what the Totem Pole meant. Maybe they're our spirit guides."
"I followed a gecko here," Greg spoke up. "I'm Greg by the way."
"Conner," the other boy said.
"Amaya," Amaya introduced.
"I think we should follow them into the cave," Greg said. "They brought us here for a reason. Animals don't intentionally lead people to caves, so there has to be a greater force at play."
"Ok," Amaya said. They then enter the cave and follow the animals. They walked for a minute or two. Soon, there was no longer ground bellow their feet. They fell into a large pool and started to glow. Amaya glowed red, Greg glowed green, and Conner glowed a dark shade of blue.
They found land and went to it. Once they were out of the water, they stopped glowing. They then saw three costumes in glass containers. The costumes looked like the kind of suit superheroes would wear. One of them was a blue cat-like suit, another one was a red owl-like suit, and the other was a green gecko-like suit.
A cloaked figure emerged from the shadows. "I knew you would eventually be reborn," an old voice croaked.
"Reborn?" Amaya asked. "What do you mean?"
"You three are the new PJ mask," the voice said. "And your city needs you. For it is in great danger."
