Councilman Jamm was ecstatic. He was dominating the podium as he skyped with Destro. He had the council chamber to himself. Since Pawnee council meetings went online in 2020, he had set up the chambers as his own makeshift office.
"So what you're saying is Destro....is that after all this goes down....I rule Asia? All of it"
"Yes my beloved Councilman. Cobra Commander's weather machine plot...Dr. Kelso's attempt to own Christmas. These were mere distractions. They all thought too small. The key to ruling this planet is its own power....and soon.... the power will be ours"
But unbeknownst to Councilman Jamm, his skype call was not unheard.
Leslie Knopf, now Regional Director of the National Parks organization, had come down to city hall. She was conducting a study on how to best utilize a hybrid model for city government and federal support organizations, when she walked into the chambers as part of her space assessment.
Leslie was shocked when she found that Jamm was working with Destro. But there was one thing that changed her reaction from alarm to terror. As regional parks Director, she regularly held meetings with Captain Planet. Just a year ago, the Captain had warned several key operatives of a world-threatening plot. But the good Captain had missed the last Quarterly Parks meeting. And even more concerning....he had missed Top Golf Night.
Destro's proclamation filled Leslie's heart with dread. If Captain Planet was in trouble...there was only one thing to do. She pulled out her special binder that she had created for just such an occasion. This was a day unlike any other. She would need to bring the Cartoon and Sitcom All-Stars together, to unite against a common threat. To fight the foes no single All-Star could withstand.
The Planet Phone Tree needed to be activated.

All-Stars (and Villains)....Assemble.
day 1
Phones rang throughout the world. And when we say "world", we mostly mean in middle class American neighborhoods (with notable exceptions in Letterkenny, Ontario and 3rd Earth).
Leslie Knopf's phone tree was in full effect.
Rachel Green was a woman possessed. Since she left Ross (after he cheated on her with a student), she was a whole new person. No longer shackled, she was using all her connections to determine what had happened to Capt. Planet.
Cliff Clavin and Norm were concerned as well.
"You know there Normy, the thing most people don't know about is Capt Planet is that his power rings were originally created by the Mesopotamians and he disappeared once in the 1930s. Turns out he had spent the whole decade helping Seabiscuit".
Suddenly, the bartender turned around and walked over. You could tell he was a normal human bartender by the toothpick in his mouth and blue jeans.
"The Devil you say...Capt Planet is missing? I'd wager a sixpence that won't be good for our flying rock". Jackie Daytona wouldn't have to wonder for long.
The bar's tv cut to a scene from Pawnee. "Live from Pawnee. A scene of terror as a local city councilman seems to have taken over the Chamber".
Councliman Jamm was on the screen, and people were cowering in fear. A red ring clearly visible on his finger. "HATE! HATE!". With each proclamation a red blast bolted from his finger. Each person the ray struck began to engage in terrible acts- including, but not limited to-Public debauchery, pollution, and defiling the corpse of Little Sebastian.
The camera cut to a chrome-headed man laughing. Destro addressed the world. "Citizens of EARTH! Gargamel has diluted the essence of your beloved Capt Planet. but you will learn to fear CAPTAIN POLLUTION. You have no defenders. You shall all kneel before our might"
Even this dire proclamation couldn't slow Cheetara. She had raced to Gaia's island looking for a clue. And in the sands of Gaia's beaches...she found hope. She quickly raced back to Pawnee and found Leslie.
Leslie couldn't believe what she was seeing. As she placed the ring on her finger, she heard a faint voice echoing in her mind "The Power....is yours".
"THIS IS A REALLY WEIRD SHOW. It reminds of the time I had to direct that remake of Three's Company with Tom Brady, Margot Robbie, and Anne Hathaway". And with that, the scene cut to Peter Griffin in a director's chair watching Tom Brady tripping over a couch as Margot and Anne argued over who was going to date Wayne.

NIGHT 1
Peter Griffin stood up during the Sitcom and Cartoon All-Stars Save The World Commercial Break. Lois came in.
“Peter, you need to pay attention. You know how easily you miss things”
“I know Lois. It’s like the time I was so caught up in my game of Connect 4 that I didn’t ever notice Babe Ruth playing backyard football with Michael Jordan and Bruce Lee against Tom Brady, Hulk Hogan and Mike Tyson. And then Anne Hathaway, Margot Robie, and Salma Hayek made the talking cat climb up the talking tree during the halftime show. And I missed it”
When the cut scene ended, Peter looked back at the screen “Oh Crap! The show’s already started!”
Lois sighed “Honestly, Peter, I don’t even know if you could keep track of yourself without me”
BACK TO THE SHOW:
Destro stood in front of his command center.
The cursed All-Stars had found the ring. Although his power was not complete, he needed to do all he could to stop them. Combining Gargamel’s Potions with the Soup Nazi’s prowess in Liquid food production, he had nearly completed his Time Stopping Machine. But there was no time to waste. Although it wasn’t perfect, when you’re working with people like this….sometimes you gotta roll the dice.
Destro fired the machine at all heroes, hoping to stop as many as he could.
Rachel Green was among those that escaped the blast. She quickly found mtr . Within 15 seconds of meeting mtr, she knew he was twice the man Ross Gellar was. He was more worthy of her emotional protection than Ross could ever be.
Leslie Knopf, already pure of heart, now possessed the Planet’s Heart. With Councilman Jamm out there, she knew she needed allies. She called out “HEART!”. She fired the ring’s power, and upon the blast reaching him, Vegas heard a faint voice in his head “The Power is Yours”
Cliff Clavin and Norm were getting Morrison plastered, as they complained about Boston’s new Voter ID laws. Morri was so drunk he was considering voting against Boston’s clean water act, because of some wacky idea about needing more beer fountains. After Morrison passed out, Norm meandered over to him. He spied Morrison’s wallet sticking out of his back pocket “Well, Cliff I think we know how we can make sure that this guy doesn’t ruin the democracy”.
After all was said and done, Caito walked around and wandered what was going on.
Standard Voting rules apply. Hammer at over 50%. If no hammer is reached, majority vote-getter is lynch at 48 hours. With no hammer-the day will end in exactly 48 hours, whether I am online or not.
And remember to watch your bread-crumbing. Have a little self-respect.
Night2
“Holy Crap that was a pretty exciting episode! I like when they got mikey. He takes all the Life cereal. But I ALSO liked when they got Jitters. Jamm’s kimonos made me uncomfortable” said Peter Griffin.
He ran upstairs to take leak.
When he got back downstairs, Chris Griffin said “Dad! YOU MISSED IT! Bugs Bunny, Voltron, and Fred Flintstone were arguing about who the greatest cartoon character was. Then Superman and The Lone Ranger saved Ross Gellar from a Talking Tree. Then Ross tried to hit on Topanga, but she was too smart for that, so she fed him to the Green Giant!”
“Man, I always miss the good stuff! Now quiet boy! My program’s back on”
Ursula Buffay sneered at WhoAmI and Badger. “You guys are gross. Seriously, where’s the style” The two cried as Ursula berated them. As they were distracted, a delivery man came looking to deliver packages. Having a little more fun, Ursula provided the Amazon driver with bad directions. “I hope WhoAmI enjoys his haggis delivery”
Vegas roared through the sky. But all who saw him would have sworn that Capt Planet had returned. He looked on at Listos. Summoning the power of Gaia, he ensured that the powers of corruption would gain no hold of Listos on this night. As the night ended, the power seemed to drain from Vegas.
“Damn! BABY, YOU LOOK SO GOOD I WISH I COULD PLANT YOU AND GROW A WHOLE FIELD OF Y’ALL.” The Fresh Prince couldn’t take his eyes off Psycho.
Danny Phantom knew that he needed to infiltrate the enemy base. Knowing that Destro’s forces were out and about, he went ghost mode, taking shelter behind Badger.
Gargamel looked on with evil in his heart….”heh, heh WhoAmI. I hope you can stay out of the pot”. Gargamel threw a potion at WhoAmI. A loud “ribbit” was heard.
All this time in field had tired out CWE. As he was looking for a hot meal, the Soup Nazi appeared “NO SOUP FOR YOU…1 NIGHT”
The battle raged on. The Forces of Evil had been hurt, but hatred lived on. Destro's drills pushed through the Artic Circle, ready to pump directly into the heart of Gaia. Since Destro had filed all the proper forms, Leslie knew that she couldn't rely on Parks Management to help her.
The All-Stars would have to rally. Maybe now, more than ever.
Standard Voting rules apply. Hammer at over 50%. If no hammer is reached, majority vote-getter is lynch at 48 hours. With no hammer-the day will end in exactly 48 hours, whether I am online or not.

Night 3
Night 3
“Ah another commercial!” Peter began to flip randomly
He flipped randomly past a commercial where an animated Bruce Lee was locked in mortal combat with Bugs Bunny over who would get the Pantene Shampoo. It turned out the Lone Ranger ran off with it. He flipped again. Another commercial for “The Mike Tyson Mysteries”. Apparently Salma Hayek, Anne Hathaway, and the Cast of Saved by the Bell would make a guest appearance.
“Breaks Suck!”
A baritone voice chimed in.
“Actually Peter these small breaks can provide is with an excellent opportunity to re-center. This show has you very wound up, and a break allows you to refocus and decompress, without distancing yourself entirely. With a break you know it will end, so you can allow a pause without the fear of things being over forever. You keep your commitment to the show, while still having a pause from ongoing pressure”.
“Wow! Thanks, Dr. Frasier Crane”
A nasally voice chimed in.
“Ehhhh. I disagree. A break means you can do whatever you want with no consequences”. Then Ross Gellar kicked the TV and broke it.
Peter and Frasier glared at Ross as Peter pulled up the show on his phone.
Stewie sighed as he heard Ross speak.
End Commercial Break
Back on the show, the armies of Destro continued to drill into the Artic circle. They were empowered by their recent success. And Wil Wheaton stood ready to corrupt the entire planet.
Badger felt a goodness growing inside of him. Leaping to the air, he felt the powers of Captain Planet. “I need to help these Planeteers”. Looking at CWE, he said “Buddy, let’s make sure nobody can slow you down”. At the end of the night Badger landed, the power of good returning to it’s source.
Leslie Knopf was distraught over the loss of Wayne. Without him, there was nobody representing the Canadian Agricultural Community in the fight for the very soul of the planet. But Leslie’s heart was pure, and she knew that she need to use the power of Heart to fight for Good. Yelling “HEART” she imbued Tommi with a portion of this power.
Danny Phantom had advanced further into Destro’s Artic base, but he knew that his ghostly powers would be best used to night to preserve him, so he could infiltrate further into Destro’s army in the morning. After a bit of confusion, he found himself taking shelter behind Morrison.
Jackie Daytona, regular human bartender, was taking this all in from his bar. “If I learned anything from the Bolsheviks, it’s that when a metal headed man is in freezing temps, he gets terrible headaches. And a cranky metal-headed man is just not cricket, thank you very much”. And with that, the regular human bartender turned into a bat and disappeared into the night sky.
MechaNeck was going to prove that he was more valuable to the All-Stars than he had ever been to the Masters. He stretched his neck to the limit, and kept a watch over the terrain surrounding Psycho666Soldier.
Norm and Cliff were WAY WAY FUCCKKING-WICKED PLASTERED. How do we know? Because they tried to steal Caito's voting ID, and stuff it. But when they attempted it they realized he was dead. And then they realized they were in a cemetary. Just a couple of dirty attempted grave-robbers.
Roadblock was fully engaged in the battle. He sought out Morrison “whether you’re friend or whether you’re foe. Into this battle, you won’t go. Destro might control the snow, but he can’t stop this GI Joe”
Gargamel decided that Badger needed a little bit of some bad medicine. Yes, that bad medicine was what he needed. He left a vial near Badger’s Haggis. Unfortunately for Gargamel, it was Badger as Capt Planet who found the meal. “This haggis is delicious….and it will take more than some bad apple juice to slow me down”
The battle was a stalemate for this night. But it couldn’t stay that way forever. Wheaton looked into the pit evilly. He and Destro just needed time.

“I’m sorry Lois. It’s just that ever since Michael Jordan rejected my pitch for him, Tom Brady and Mike Tyson to become the NEW PRO-STARS, I’ve been distraught.”
“Would it make you feel better if I put on my Voltron costume and invited Anne Hathaway and Margot Robie back?”
“Whatever. You know I prefer Green Giant meets The Talking Cat, Lois. You know this. Sometimes, I feel like this marriage is a lie”.
Back to the Show
The Forces of Evil continued to press against the artic circle. The All-Stars knew that the planet needed them. Maybe now more than ever.
Time was growing short.
Ursula saw that All-Stars were grieving from the loss of her sister’s friend Rachel. It was the perfect time to kick them. She quickly found Badger and 3pups. She got them drunk and turned around after luring them in with a promise of seduction, she stole and switched their clothes. 3pups was certainly embarrassed to be in Badger’s kilt, while Badger found 3pup’s velour tracksuit to be uncomfortable as well.
Inspector Gadget decided it was time to shed his nice guy image. GO-GO Gadget Death Ray! The Inspector took aim at Pabs, only to see his ray bounce off Pabs’ chest.
The Quack Pack was excited to earn their “Avert a World Disaster” badge, as it was the 8th hardest to earn. They saw Rip and decided that his trick knees would make him easy to track.
Norm and Cliff, nursing a terrible hangover and reeking of alcohol and embalming fluid, decided to try their luck with Psych. After getting him good and stoned, Norm stole his stamp collection. There was no way Psych could cast any ballot by mail.
Gargamel was back in his laboratory. “Eh, let’s see if you can give coherent thought….when all your words are Song!”. With that, he replaced CWE’s usual scotch with his malicious potion.
Meanwhile Sideshow Bob stalked the streets. He came upon an unsuspecting target. “ah my dear one, perhaps you could spare some assistance for a poor, down on his luck, performer”.
Clawsout turned around, ready to provide some assistance. Only to be greeted by Bob’s knife.
“LOOK AT YOU! WEAK AND UNCULTURED! THERE IS NO PLACE FOR YOU IN THE PLANET TO COME”

“You can still watch from your phone”
“I can’t even get a good signal here”
“Well, let’s watch what you’ve already downloaded”
“whatever….”
“Here you go Peter”
As he was watching the video, Peter was fading in and out.
“Lois, first time through I didn’t catch this….but….I really wanted to watch the character arcs for (unintelligibly mumbles) and (mumbles again) were really interesting. Did you know that on N1 Ursula messed with WhoAmI and Vegas?. And then Destro missed when he shot the ring of hatred at Kangus on N4. Stupid Destro. I tell you, I can’t believe…”
And with that Peter faded off into a long-term coma. Which is a bit atypical for a skinned knee, but there you have it.
END CUT SCENES
Back to the Show:
The All-Stars were making very little progress against Destro’s War Machines. The battle raged on, but things were looking grim.
Psych felt the power of Captain Planet coursing through his veins. Glancing at Badger, he shouted “The Power is Ours!” The protective shell of Gaia wrapped around them for the night, before the power of the Planet faded.
Leslie was wearing a campaign button that read “I like Psych”. Again, she harnessed the Ring of Power, and blasted Psych shouting “In case you didn’t hear me the first time, the Power is yours”
Danny Phantom again was looking to infiltrate the base. He saw mtr and went ghost mode behind him, providing an extra spiritual clarity.
“GO GO GADGET BINOCULARS! Let’s see what our friend Tommi_Li has going on. I wonder if he’ll have any visitors like that famous Tommy Lee?”
MechaNeck exerted the full strength of his phenomenal powers, and……..made his neck longer. It did give him a slightly better view. Kind of like standing on a ladder. He did get a good view of the terrain around Badger. So….he had that going for him.
Norm and Cliff were at it again. They really believed in the mantra….”If you want to change the world, do it one vote at a time”. They decided they didn’t like mtr’s politics, and got him fucking plastered. Mtr puked on the pollworkers, and Cliff used his power as a mailcarrier to make sure mtr was kicked out of the booth.
Wil Wheaton channeled the full evil of his whiny heart. He sneered as he fired the Ring of Hatred at tommi. “The POLLUTION is Yours!”
Sideshow Bob saddled up next to Listos. Listos asked “Why do you have a tattoo that says ‘Die Listos Die?’.
“That doesn’t say Die Listos Die. It’s German and pronounced DEE Listos DEE”
Convinced that nobody who speaks German could be a threat to the populace, Listos relaxed.
And then Bob yanked his butcher knife and went to work.
