What’s next after The Beasties? Well, we usually think that after the Special Edition, The Beasties a.k.a. The Cyprine Princesses would be living happily ever after or some other cliché things like that.
The point is no one exactly knows what would happen in the next life, would we? I mean, The Princesses have immortal lives now and whosoever bonds and becomes their spouse would also have a share of longevity. So, what might possibly happen to them except keeping track of time, space and the balance of the galaxy’s ecosystem?
Well, I can give you a little egging-in for the after-legends of The Beasties. Life in the Danger Zone was all peaceful until there came the Black War. It was a nightmare once again as The Beasties had to do battle with the forces of evil who call themselves The Black Siriuses. The war was tough and many have perished, including The Beasties’ spouse.
Although many have perished, The Beasties still continued to fight to the death. The main purpose of The Black Siriuses was to search for the most worthy opponent and conquer the planet if the opponent failed to defeat them. It was an offensive and meaningless purpose, and The Beasties would never give in to them. They continued to fight and fight and fight until they have completely lost track of time…
Finally, when The Beasties actually regained consciousness, they realized that they have been in hibernation for about 111 years!!! It turned out that they have finally defeated The Black Siriuses but have lost their planet in the process. They were in the brink of death when The Cyprine Crystals finally did one last thing for their mistresses: they self-destructed themselves and, using their smashed entities, formed a force-field around The Beasties as they drifted in space with no destination to be. They finally floated into the depths of The Milky Way and remained there, sleeping for 111 years.
The Beasties soon rose out of the depths of The Milky Way and drifted along the vast galaxy, looking for a place they could call home, since their own planet and their own families were turned to dust. They soon found themselves back on Earth—the futuristic Earth. They were surprised at the change that Earth has encountered. It has been a very, very long time since they last left Earth. There were all kinds of people taking residents in Earth, including beings from other planets. Their arrival and appearances was not a foreign thing to the Earthlings.
The Beasties learnt to adjust, as in buying new clothes and gaining new identities, and they tried hard to remain as human as possible unless the situation requires them to become their Beastie form. They have all changed their names: Jericho (Josh), Jubilee (Journey), Foley—pronounced as Fo-lay—(Fresco), Lavender (Laurel), Elijah (Eolian), Konner (Kale) and Hacyth (Hydro). They earned a small living becoming private detectives for the city and walked around calling themselves ‘The Sexy Seven’.
Soon, trouble began when a crude group of terrorists from the planet Pluto’s moon came over and declared World War IV!! Now that’s something you don’t see everyday! The whole place was in a wreck as the terrorists fought a great battle with the government of every country, demanding their rights as rulers of the world. No one could fight them for the time being and the whole world was under their reign for quite a time. The Sexy Seven were disappointed that Earth was no longer any different than their own war-like planet.
Years past but the war wasn’t easily ended. In their relentless attempt and quest to save Earth, The Sexy Seven got separated and were pretty much lost to one another. The wild tomboyish ones Elijah, Lavender and Foley were captured into the terrorists’ lair and were sort of brainwashed into taking their side (Yikes!). The calmer ones Konner, Hacyth and Jubilee joined in a few freedom fighters and plotted to rid of the terrorists and also tried to bring Elijah, Lavender and Foley back to the good side as soon as they found out that the terrorists have brainwashed them.
Jericho was in a much stickier situation: she was stuck in the middle of nowhere in a vast desert when she and the rest of The Sexy Seven were separated and thrown off during a blast (now that’s a LONG way to fall!). As she tried to return back to where she came from and search for her friends, she came across a small boy being chased by a great number of Druids (a futuristic name the Earth picked up for police), threatening to kill him. Jericho fought them off and unofficially became the boy’s bodyguard.
As they got acquainted, the boy revealed his name as Matthias and he was born from a relationship between a terrorist and an Earthling. His parents weren’t exactly married—his father, a freedom fighter, took his terrorist mother as captive and raped her out of hatred and anger and she died giving birth to him. His father didn’t want to have anything to do with him, so he gave him away. He had lived peacefully with his foster family for quite a while but all of a sudden, he woke up finding himself in the midst of his foster family’s dead bodies. He couldn’t remember anything since he fell asleep and was sure that he had nothing to do with the killings, although he was drenched in blood. He didn’t know why he was the only one left alive. Jericho suspected that he did have something to do with the killings, or he wouldn’t have been chased by the Druids. But she didn’t say anything; she had to confirm her suspicions first.
Little did she know that this Matthias was actually the key in destroying the terrorists’ existence. Oops, shouldn’t have told you that!
Anyway, as their journey continued, more and more Druids and terrorists came, all of them after Matthias. Jericho had to battle them one by one and keep the boy from harm until they have reached back to the land where she and her Sexy Seven members separated. In the middle of the journey, they’ve come across a mysterious man who call himself Garden Boy and was always seen riding his really peculiar tank. Jericho and Garden Boy hated each other’s guts and swore that once the war was over, they were going to fight to the death. Garden Boy was always seen wearing a mask over his face. No one has ever seen his face before.
Despite the fact that Jericho and Garden Boy were constantly at each other’s throats, Matthias welcomed the company. He had to be the peacemaker between the two and stop them from killing themselves before the war was over, just as they promised they would. Garden Boy revealed to Matthias that he wanted to be in the war and destroy the terrorists so that he could make the whole Earth green again. Due to the futuristic environment, plants were scarce, and Garden Boy had created a species of plants that can adapt to any kind of situation, and I mean any kind, on Earth and would thrive well in harsh environments. There was once, and only once, did Jericho and Matthias ever get to see his real self, but only his eyes! *GROAN*
What would become of The Sexy Seven? Will the tomboys get out of their brainwashing trance and fight the terrorists as usual? Will Konner and the others be able to save the tomboys and lead the team of freedom fighters to total freedom? Will Jericho ever get back and help them, and will sparks of love fly between her and Garden Boy in the end? Who is Matthias really anyway?
