The Color Blind Justice League by Paige Turner

Chapter 0: Orange’s Story (Origin Story)

Orange lived in a land with no color with her friend Blue. One day, they decided to travel to find others that looked like them…

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Pink felt exactly like Orange and Blue. When they met, they decided to find more people who felt (and looked) the same way they did!

In Africa, Green was getting tired of being the only color children used to draw. They used him too much, and on top of that… their drawings were BAD! No offense! Sorry!

When Orange, Blue and Pink found Green, they all decided that all they needed was one more color that looked like them (you know, not just Black and White like everything else around them).

One day, while Orange was in a dull, colorless forest, she met a human that drew very nicely. Green instantly liked her! Her name was Maiyah... last name Kee.

Together, they became The Rainbow Crew! Each with the power to bring their own color into the world! Oh, and Maiyah has powers, too... the power to draw them TOGETHER!

Chapter 1: The Stuff of Legend

Did you know that TVs first showed colors in 1967? The Rainbow Crew did that! Since then, they have been the biggest hit!

It’s 2019 now, so The Rainbow Crew has been bringing color into the world for… 49… 50… 51… borrow the one... 52 years... WOW! I wonder if they’re ever going to retire… THREE WEEKS LATER… (The Rainbow Crew is having a meeting about retiring.)

“I would definitely go for it!” “Yeah, we should retire.”

The whole team agreed but who would take over for them?...

Chapter 2: The Replacements

Meanwhile… At a secret base, a small group called “The Grayscales” cackled about The Rainbow Crew’s retirement. They hated color!

The Grayscales were going to cause havoc all over the world by becoming the new Rainbow 69

Crew but with a secret plot to remove all colors again.

“Uh-Oh… I know The Rainbow Crew told me not to interrupt but this is crazy! Oh, Hi! Yeah, I’m talking to you, reader! My name’s Maiyah Kee. The Rainbow Crew sent me here to be their personal spy. I’m a big fan of The Rainbow Crew, so when they asked me to do this,I just had to say ‘Yes!’ This… is… terrible! I’ve got to get back to The Rainbow Crew to tell them what we just saw!”

“OH, SNAP!” (they all shouted together)

Chapter 3: Color Blind

It all happened so fast. Before we knew it or could do anything about it, everything was colorless again. The crazy thing about it is that everyone in the world was cool with it. They even cheered on these imposters! The Rainbow Crew pretended to be okay with this madness, but they were not having it! They were all hoping that God would protect them but they felt so bad about not doing anything. They had a hard time forgiving themselves. They technically just let the whole world down!

Wow, Pink was so angry at herself and the way things turned out that she turned Red!

“Why so mean, Grayscales?!?! Why so lame, self?!?!”

Chapter 4: Color Clash!

Things eventually got so gray that The Rainbow Crew just couldn’t take it anymore! They didn’t know how to beat The Grayscales but they didn’t care!

The Rainbow Crew decided to fight back! They were gonna use their God-given colors to change the world back! They were gonna join together and run into battle!

Though there were only two of The Grayscales, they really knew how to fight… and they were HUGE!! After fighting for awhile, it was clear that they were about to win. Scared and upset, Maiyah did the only thing she knew she was good at… she began to draw.

Just then, something really cool happened. Actually, two cool things happened. All of the hero colors of The Rainbow Crew combined into one superhero...

This new superhero was bigger, stronger and faster than The Grayscales but just as she was getting ready to beat them down, they screamed:

“We’re sorry! We give up! Have mercy on us!”

Suddenly, a light from heaven came down, lifted The Grayscales up and… ...Wait, what? The Grayscales came back down… alive?! And… Whaaat? They looked nicer! Not so… villainy… let’s go see!

They look just like our heroes now... For real! But can they become superheroes, too?70

Chapter 5: Joining the Fight

“You know, we’ve got a lot of coloring to do if we’re going to undo what you guys did when you were The Grayscales. “We sure could use some sidekicks... what do you say?!! Let’s see what you’ve got!”

“Wow! Sure - we’d love to join!”

Chapter 6: Fighting Color Blind Crime

“We... Are... The Color Blind Justice League!”

“The world sure looks better in color - doesn’t it, Maiyah?!!”

“It sure, does! And I can’t believe I had a role to play in bringing it all together!”

Maiyah was right! It was HER drawing that not only pulled our heroic colors together into one superhero, but also drew The Grayscales in to be transformed from bad to good guys, too!

THE END

Meanwhile, in a “remote” corner of the world, a group of EVILDOERS is shown on TV creating new colors by mixing other colors together…

That can’t be right… or can it?!!...
