[color=crimson][b][u]Letters to Super C: #28[/u][/b][/color] -------------- [color=gold][b]IMPORTANT![/b] This letter was written before the writer received C.I.D.F. documentation; Super C has since met him and his three siblings in person and added them as allies to the G-52s.[/color] ------------------------- [i]To the mighty Cat of Steel, SuperCat Dear Sir: How do you do? I'm glad I'm able to write this letter to you, since I'm waiting my turn to be documented by the C.I.D.F. Whether I actually owe you an apology or not, I feel I owe you one because I was the one who filmed you being so ticked off with the ungrateful humans of our nation, you got down on your knees, looked up to the skies, and screamed, "WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?" Now you've got me worried about you. The world can't lose you; you're too valuable to all of us, not just the Americans. And if the humans don't understand that, that's their problem. The whole country owes you an apology, not just those tabloid terrorists who successfully brainwashed the others into taking you for granted, and not even caring one bit if we were to all die from a meteroite attack, regardles of how it actually happens. If you've seen the movie "Deep Impact," you might recall the very sad ending: the fragment of a comet known as Wolf hits the Atlantic Ocean near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, creating a megatsunami that destroys much of the East Coast of the United States, reaching the Ohio River Valley, and also hitting Europe and Africa. Millions are killed, including Sarah’s parents, Lerner, and her father. Leo, Sarah, and her baby brother survive after making it to the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The crew of the space shuttle[/i] Messiah, [i]now dangerously low on both life-support and remaining propellant fuel, decide to sacrifice themselves to destroy the larger Wolf fragment by flying deep inside it and detonating their remaining nuclear bombs. They say goodbye to their loved ones by video call and execute their plan. Wolf is blown into smaller pieces which burn up harmlessly in the Earth's atmosphere, averting further catastrophe. After the waters recede, President Beck speaks to a large crowd at an under-construction replacement United States Capitol, encouraging them to remember those lost as they begin to rebuild. Why mention the movie? Well, both my parents insisted on taking me and my two brothers, as well as my one sister, to the movie, because they wanted to punish us for going to the theaters three years earlier to watch[/i] Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie. [i]Their intentions were to do this to us in the same year as that film, 1995, but it was 1998 before they could do so because a tornado later destroyed the movie theater as well as other parts of our town, and it took a long time to rebuild because CNG was killing off the construction crews. It wanted a new Kreigland, which meant no movies, no television, no music from the 1950s onwards, nothing! I don't see how forcing you to watch a movie you don't care about is a punishment for watching a movie you wanted to see against your parents' wishes. Do you? In any case, it was ultimately another arranged marriage gone wrong; I know you feel uneasy about that subject. CNG then killed our parents the next day because this was not a legitimate punishment, and that's when it also turned us into animals. I guess we didn't know what was happening at the time, because it was not until the 2010s where we finally began to discover what that stuff was, why it wanted to eradicate humanity as a whole, and why it had its double standards that led to its ultimate demise in 2022. One such double standard is the fact the gold kind prevented you and your fellow Caticonians from getting hurt by the other colors. (NOTES: me and my brothers had made it to high school by that point, while my sister was in 7th grade. Our aunt and uncle took charge of looking after us after the funeral. I also plan to write to your number one recruit, Cripto, afterwards, because our parents knew his grandmother, Chloe Clements, whom I'm assuming would have said the same things.) Thankfully, we were able to reconcile with our parents before they died, and they admitted that they thought the[/i] Power Rangers [i]franchise was too violent, and had forgotten about the comedy relief in the form of Bulk and Skull. I think it was all the special effects that did it for them, and plus, being devout churchgoers, they didn't want us dealing with Satanic things such as witchcraft. What is Rita Repulsa? A witch. A very bad one, though; she never seemed to get the hint, did she? As long as she kept making her monsters grow, the Rangers would be there with their Zords. "Why do you put that garbage into your heads when you are supposed to be following the Bible?" Mom and Dad demanded before grounding all four of us for two and a half months and giving us extra chores. (That way, Easter Sunday would be the day our sentence was finished.) "Was there nothing else that was decent? You should have just gone to the park and cleaned it up!" All four of us: me, my brothers, and my sister, were fans of the franchise, which is why we went to see the film. Anyways, the fact that I filmed you screaming, "WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?", was not to capitalize on your meltdowns, but to show the world how wrong it was of them to tick you off like this. Even superheroes have limited patience, and we should know, because we cosplay as the Power Rangers all the time. The original group, I should say; there have been so many different versions over the years. I'm sorry if I ticked you off, but I wanted to give the world a wake-up call. I can't tell if the American public is genuinely that stupid, or if it is the affereffects of that CNG stuff making them stupid, or even the supernatural forces out there picking up where it left off. Humans are still dying too soon for the wrong reasons, and it's saddening to all of us. The difference is there are no more cases of humans turning into animals. When CNG turned us into animals, it made me a lion, while my brothers became a wolf and a bison. My sister became a white tigress. We think this is a freaky coincidence, because[/i] Power Rangers: Wild Force [i]had not debuted yet. But that's generally the roles we cosplay as a result. If you decide to look up the video I posted, I did it as a YouTube short, because I refuse to use TikTok. It now has almost one billion views on it. That's how fast it caught fire. You do us a great service, so please don't stop. We are willing to fight with you to make this world a better place. All I ask of it is to get its act together and cut it out. Thanks for letting me write to you. Sincerely, Matthias Andreas, age 36 (lion, formerly human being) Originally from Athens, Georgia, USA Now living in Wildcat City, Kansas, USA[/i] -------------- Super C's reply: [color=orange][i]Dear Matthias: Even if you hadn't filmed me screaming, I think somebody else would have, because I was very angry with the human race at that moment. It was mostly all those tabloid terrorists and their ways of brainwashing the public into digging up dirt on my past and the pasts of my recruits. It's why we had the fan mail crisis. Otherwise, I can't explain why the humans of this nation have gotten so ungrateful; it's made the rest of the world's humans laugh their heads off at us...until one of Leo's parallels gets involved or just gets their name mentioned, of course. I forgive you for posting that; in fact, I would also say, now that I look back at it, that you did the world a favor by giving it the wake-up call that it needed. I'm therefore going to take a guess and say that it's a combination of the total of aftereffects of both CNG and the supernatural forces picking up where it left off, but what you have to bear in mind is that they always based their actions on the things humans genuinely did wrong. I've mentioned to many others how CNG was wrong about the planet Kriegland, even though it wanted Earth as the new Kriegland. But one thing that it got right was that because Kriegland was the way it was, depressing at it was, it valued society as a whole over the individual, which is why CNG was wrong about the assumptions it made. The real Kriegland still wanted each of its own citizens to march to their own drumbeat, but CNG assumed it wanted them all to be the same because they were so behind the times. (It was also furious because it wasn't the one that destroyed Kriegland like it did with the other planets.) I am sorry that you lost your parents; I, too, would be questioning their tactics of punishment if I were to meet them in person, had they lived. It's only appropriate that you mentioned the[/i] Power Rangers [i]franchise; that's been on the G-52s' minds quite a bit lately, because last year (2023) was the 30th anniversary of that franchise. Next year, 2025, marks the 50th anniversary of the Japanese franchise that this is an adaptation of,[/i] Super Sentai. [i](I'll refer to these as "PR" and "SS" for short, respectively.) I can therefore confirm for you that just as you and your siblings have joined the ranks of the cosplayers of the PR shows, Leo's Japanese counterpart, Ryo the Samurai Lion, reported to me that there are also a bunch of SS cosplayers from that country that also suffered the CNG transformations of turning into animals, and if they got superpowers, they were all based on the matching show that they cosplay as; "Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger," for example, is the original Japanese program which was adapted for MMPR (Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers). It doesn't surprise me that your parents had personally known Cripto's grandmother, but the last time I spoke to her when she apologized to me (because she did make amends with all she hurt towards the end of her life), she claimed she did not influence them or anybody else in any way; it seemed only coincidental that your parents also felt that the Americans disobeyed God by progressing forward past the 1920s. They had forgotten, apparently, that despite the good intentions of Prohibition, the crime rates actually increased, and led to the invention of places known as speakeasies. Thus, the crime rate only went down when it was legalized again. (I've come across a few places that recreate the speakeasy experience; although people are getting drunk, and possibly playing poker, it's mandatory that they wear formal fancy dress, and there is live jazz music on the stage illustrating how sinful society was even back then, especially when you look at the lyrics of songs with titles such as "When I Get Low, I Get High." That was the explanation they told me, anyway. When Leo was elected, however, they all closed down. Go figure. Everybody knew Leo's attitude towards that stuff, although he said he didn't have a problem with alcohol if you use it for cooking. Have you ever eaten beer-battered onion rings, for example? Those are actually pretty good.) Whether Clements was telling the truth or not, I don't know. There may be plenty of people from her generation and the generation afterwards that were just like her, but she's the one that was garnering all the media attention; when she died, Cripto got loads of apology letters, including all the late-night talk show hosts on the air at the time, because they suddenly were struck with huge feelings of guilt and remorse. (He forgave them, of course.) As for the topic of arranged marriages, that is a topic we see way less of in today's world, but it does bother me. Parents trying to run their kids' lives from start to finish are only destroying their chances of having a successful life on their own. I've always said that they should guide the kids in the right way and approve or disapprove of their decisions on whom they should date (and ultimately marry) if they are dating, but let the kids decide! (I'm not a marriage counselor, though; I just own and operate Wildcat Power Gyms. Yet many times I am asked my opinion on things like that. I do my best to help, though.) Your video isn't the first video of me to go viral, but I think it's the first one I've seen that managed to reach one billion views. If your channel allows you to monetize based on their policies (provided you have enough subscribers), you'll easily be a millionaire in no time. I don't know if you're to that point yet, but as you said, you were trying to teach the world a lesson. I think you succeeded. I'll be looking forward to meeting you and your siblings when you are documented. Let me know if I missed anything, and I'll fix the mistakes the next time we talk either in person, or through another letter you may choose to write. I thank you for your letter you sent me here, and it is only appropriate I close by saying to you those famous words of Zordon: "May the power protect you." Yours truly, Simon Corrineson, a.k.a. SuperCat (Super C), the Cat of Steel Commander-in-Chief of the G-52 Organization of Superheroes[/i][/color]
