Here's a brand new story starring two of my favourite boy bands McFly and Busted as their super group McBusted and my original character Dominic who were sent into New Wirral from the monster catching RPG game Cassette Beasts. I've played Cassette Beasts last year and it's a good Pokémon clone with its own identity so I thought I'll come up with a short story with again The McBusted boys and Dominic venturing in the world of Cassette Beasts, using monsters that I've nicknamed them after in the game (with the exception of Dominic).
Here's the first chapter where their adventure begins, seeking help to find a way help.
Bonds of Fusion
Chapter 1 – Into a
new world
It was a rare moment when two boy bands McFly and Busted who formed as super group McBusted had a day off in their studio with their fan and close friend Dominic paying a visit. They were having a lively discussion and banter about cassette tapes.
“Do any of you remember the old-fashioned way to distribute your music that happened to be rad back in the day? Recording your music on your cassette tapes” said James who is reminiscing. “Oh, those retro things. I remembered back in the days” said Danny as he was thinking back. “I wouldn’t expect you to remember your childhood days, not like lyrics for our songs,” said Dougie slyly. Danny responded by playfully prodding him.
“I remembered back in the days when I recorded your albums onto my blank cassette tapes,” said Dominic, sharing his childhood days. “Fascinating on how the things we grew up with worked back in the days,” said Charlie with fascination.
“We had those cassette tapes with our Power to Play album music with each of us on the front cover of our merchandise store” said Tom. “I bet ours would outsell yours!” said Harry teasing the Busted boys. “Oh yeah, I bet the cassette tapes that have your covers are still piling up dust!” replied Matt which made Harry blush.
Suddenly, it was the exact moment when a portal has suddenly appeared in front of them. “Woah! What’s that?!” called Matt as it was dragging them in like a tornado sucking them in. “Everyone, hold on!” cried Tom and they all tried to hold onto the nearest object including themselves for their dear life but the force was too great and it was inevitable that they were all sent into the portal that led them to the great unknown.
The boys were then wakened up by a voice, asking “Are you all alright?” They saw an older woman wearing a tan trench coat and dark hair with a grey stripe. “Thanks but where are we?” asked Danny as The McBusted boys and Dominic were all looking around in awe, realising that they were all sent to another world. The surroundings resembled a beach but they spotted several crab-like monsters with a traffic cone. They suddenly fused themselves which created a larger version of the monster. “What is that giant crab wearing a cone? Where’s the shell?” asked Dougie upon seeing it.
“Quick! You all better get out of here and follow me!” warned the woman who escorted Dominic and The McBusted boys towards the nearby town before the monsters could attack them. They were safely escorted to Harbourtown where it is free of monsters. The woman led the boys into the town hall.
“Thanks for the help but could you tell us where are we? We were sent here from another world by a portal” asked Dominic. “And what is that monster that attacked us?” asked Charlie. “My my, we do have people dropping by but not as big as you lot but thank goodness that I was able to find you boys in time” said the woman. She introduced herself as Lanthe and said that this world is known as New Wirral. “New Wirral? I think we do have a Wirral in our world” said Matt who is perplexed by this. Lanthe laughed and said, “I guess there are many possibilities and coincidences in many different worlds.”
Lanthe added that she too was sent to New Wirral fifteen years ago. Since then, she has formed a ranger group with other people who were also sent to New Wirral, using cassette tapes to record monsters that populated New Wirral to fight other monsters, transforming into them, using their abilities.
The boys were surprised to hear such an unusual method to ‘capture’ monsters. “Never thought that such peripherals would be used to record living beings,” said James with astonishment. “And to think that we were having all this discussion about cassette tapes!” added Harry. They then introduced themselves as McFly and Busted respectively with Dominic adding that he’s a friend and fan of them.
“We have a tour coming up so we would urgently need to get back home. Can you help us find a way how?” asked Tom with worry. Lanthe gets their concerns, saying “I understand your dilemma even if I have no straight answer to your solution though I express my desire to help you all in any way possible. That said, we have been receiving reports of strange activity throughout New Wirral which could be connected to why you were all brought here.”
Lanthe explained that recently, New Wirral has been under attack by monsters that were forcefully fused as one powerful monster known as Rogue Fusions with their powers becoming unstable. Her rangers are doing everything they can to keep them under control but their increasing numbers are overwhelming them.
Lanthe then had an idea. “I know it may seem that I am taking advantage of you all but I would appreciate it if all of you could give us a helping hand to keep these Rogue Fusions in check. Then maybe you’ll find the answer that’ll lead you all back home”. Despite having to be just sent here, they were all willing to help out. “Yes, you can count on us,” said Tom. “We’ll help to protect your people and your world,” said Dominic. “Using those cassettes to save the world” said James with Lanthe smiling at their humour. Lanthe’s partner Wilma gave each of them their cassettes, mentioning that each of the cassettes are rare monsters that were recently recorded by their rangers.
Danny Jones was given a flying, circular snake monster known as an Aeroboros. With its nimble movements with the ability to fire powerful ranged attacks, it reflected Danny’s clumsy nature with hidden talents.
Tom Fletcher received an Arkidd, a monster that resembled an electrified robot with arcade machine parts which appealed to Tom’s geeky side and fondness of video games.
James Bourne’s monster was a Mardiusa, a masked snake woman who uses trickery and deception that matches his quirky energy.
Charlie Simpson received a Zeustrike, an electrical monster that resembled a cloud wearing a helmet which has lighting-fast movements that contrasted his calm, level-headedness.
Dougie Poynter was given a Jormungold, a winged snake with quick movements including powerful strikes that suit his eccentric, unpredictable ideas that catch others off guard.
Matt Willis obtained a Coaldron which looked like a chief Dogu in a boiling cauldron. Matt’s burning passion matches with Coaldron’s hot cooking pot with steam boiling out.
Harry Judd obtained a Galagor, a space bug that has a cape and floats in the air. It knows many defensive techniques which Harry bets that could make use of to trick his opponents, showing his competitive, prankster side.
Dominic was given a Kherpri, a glowing beetle with a miniature sun between its horns. Dominic strives to use its guiding light as a symbol of hope being the kind, idealistic individual he is.
Lanthe then showed them the map of New Wirral, pointing them to the four areas where there was reported activity of Rogue Fusions for them to investigate. Dominic and The McBusted boys were then given straws to determine who they’d pair up with as they were given matching-sized straws. Danny was paired with Dominic, Tom teamed up with Charlie, Dougie partnered with James and Harry got to be with Matt. “I’ll protect you Dominic” said Danny as he held him closely for reassurance. “Awww, I wanted to be with Dougie!” ranted Harry. “Well at least I get to be Matt’s bride for the tour” said Dougie dryly. “Hey, I’ve heard that!” called Matt.
After Lanthe smiled with amusement, she told them one last thing before they set off. “I can tell that you are all close as bandmates and friends. With that, I believe that this will give you all the power to fuse together as stronger monsters; combining your powers and love together to overcome any battle” said Lanthe.
The boys were intrigued by that. “Well, our supergroup is like a Power Ranger Megazoid but never thought we would get to fuse together literally!” said Tom. Lanthe and Wilma demonstrated by fusing their monsters Gearyu and Djinn Entonic into a Gearentonic. The boys were astonished to see such an amazing sight and they were set to adventure into New Wirral using their cassettes that transform them into monsters to protect the people from the Rogue Fusion in hopes of finding a way back home.
