A Tribute To Rainbow Brite
For those of you who don't know the story of how Rainbow Brite became...
A brave young girl who went by the name of Wisp, was brought to a desolate world full of
gloom and darkness, and was told to search for the magic color belt and the sphere of light. And
so she started off to the dark tower off in the distance. Along the way she met a small white
sprite named Twink. Later, she found a beautiful white horse frozen on a cliff which she
released from the ice - the horse Starlight, who claims to be the most magnificent horse in all the
universe. With her newly made friends Wisp faced the perils of a world. In a cave the
group found a small baby, and Wisp found the magic color belt shaped like a rainbow,
which revealed to her that the seven color kids (one for each color of the rainbow) had been
banished. So off she went to rescue them. But the dark lord sent his servants - Murky Dismal
and Lurky - to deal with the intruders. Soon the trio were trapped between a chasm and Murky's
gloom cloud. At the last moment Starlight leaped across the chasm. . . and there they found.
. .Red Butler - the first color kid! They found Red Butler in the color mine, where color crystals
were mined to be made into star sprinkles, where Twink found some of the star sprinkles. The
trio left to rescue the remaining color kids, and one by one, with bravery and a little cleverness,
they found all but one of the color kids. Unfortunately, Lurky stumbled across the little baby and
the villians sped away with their prize. Wisp, Twink, and Starlight followed them to the tower.
There they found Shy Violet, the last color kid. Starlight took her to the rest of the color kids at
the mine where they were to wait until a signal was given. Meanwhile, Wisp followed the wails
of the baby to the top and as she ascended the steps, the top of the tower glowed with color - the
signal to the others. Starlight and the color kids ran to help. Wisp reached the top and there. . .
stood the dark master with the child in his hand. The baby shone with radiance and Wisp
realized the baby was the sphere of light. The dark master towered over Wisp. Starlight cried out
and jumped to help her from a nearby tower of stone, but he missed the edge and fell. But as
Wisp fell to her knees a glorious rainbow emerged from her magic belt and Starlight landed on it
- and began to fly along the rainbow! At the top Wisp stood, and with a true heart and the magic
rainbow defeated the dark lord, and the gloom fell away and revealed a beautiful, colorful world.
Wisp was named Rainbow Brite, and she and her friends were given the task of keeping hope
and color alive, for Murky and Lurky had escaped and would be back. . .
