In a land far-far-far away, there is a magical place called Fairytale Island. Among the citizens are princes, princesses, witches and monsters. More often than not, dangerous events occur, by which the Fearless 7 were called upon. Seven handsomely heroic princes rescuing damsels in distress and living the life of celebrities, however upon one of these dangerous events marked the end of the Fearless 7 and the beginning of a horrifying curse. A dragon had attacked a small village, taking captive a beautiful princess, thus the Fearless 7 were armed and ready for battle as they set off to save the fair princess. They easily defeated the dragon, however, upon approaching the princess, they had realized she was in fact a witch and thus began attacking her relentlessly. As they turned away in conquest with broad smiles on their faces, women flocking around them, offering them tokens of appreciation, men nodding their heads in respect, the witch rose up with her hands fisted as a pair of glimmering green wings formed on her back. This was no witch, but the Fairy Princess who grit her teeth and began snarling at them.

"If outer beauty is all you see, then you clearly lack the sight of inner beauty. For this you seven shall pay dearly. I curse you here and evermore. You shall appear to be what you are on the inside: unattractive, short-tempered, vain, and truly hideous to look at. Whenever people look at you, they will see you for what you truly are!" She was enveloped in a green light as she outstretched her hands and a puff of green smoke appeared before the Fearless 7, turning them into little green monsters.

"What, what happened to us!?" Merlin shouted with shock and surprise as he looked at his hands and at his other six comrades.

"I cursed you. Whenever people look at you, this is what they'll see." The Fairy Princess descended as her winds slowly disappeared and she smiled victoriously at them.

"Wait, wait, wait. We're cursed?" Arthur said in a light Geordie accent as he looked up at her as he gripped Excalibur.

"You are." The Fairy Princess crossed her arms.

"Oh no! My face! It's green and chubby! I have no cheekbones!" Jack said with his French accent as he looked in his handheld mirror as he used his other hand to try and find his nonexistent cheekbones.

"What was that!?" Hans asked in a light German accent.

"Oh"

"My"

"Gooodness!" The triplets (Pino, Nocci, and Cchio) were all stunned as they looked at one another.

"Serves you right!" The Fairy Princess began laughing as Merlin turned towards her.

"Please, how do we break the curse?" He pleaded.

"By getting the most beautiful woman in the world to kiss you. Good luck boys." She waved as she took off flying and laughed menacingly.

"This is going to be our most difficult task." Merlin groaned as the (now shorter and greener) Fearless 7 sought out the most beautiful woman in the world, but it would take over a year and a half by the time they had even come close to breaking their curse.
