Romeo X Juliet

A young girl, Juliet, is the only member of her family to escape the massacre of the Capulet family at the hands of Leontes Montague. Fourteen years later, Lord Montague rules the land of Neo-Verona with an iron-fist as Juliet helps the common folk in a Robin Hood-like fashion, and Romeo Montague protests his father's cruelty. Juliet and Romeo meet by coincidence at the Rose Ball and fall in love at first sight. However, when Juliet turns sixteen and learns the truth of her past that has been hidden from her for fourteen years, her love becomes conflicted between revolution and devotion.

Romeo and Juliet face many challenges and adventures together which strengthen their love. Juliet resumes her role as The Red Whirlwind to start a revolution against Prince Montague. Meanwhile, Romeo has been banished and sent to work in a mine. He frees the criminal miners and begins to start a new village with them. He then returns to Neo Verona to face off Prince Montague.

Tybalt, Juliet accompanied by Francisco, Curio, and the rest of her force, and Romeo storm Prince Montague's chambers. They all wish to arrest him but are stopped by an insane Mercutio who stabs Prince Montague in the back with a poisonous blade.

After the village celebrates Juliet goes away to sacrifice herself to Escalus, which had been keeping Neo Verona as it was until the rule of Montague corrupted it. Romeo tries to stop her but Ophelia captures her. After a small battle between Ophelia and Francisco, Curio, and Tybalt, Romeo breaks through Escalus to free Juliet. He succeeds but Ophelia kills him. The Earth continues to shake and Juliet stays with Romeo. She says all will be well, and forces the others to leave her. The others fly away on their dragon steeds. Juliet decides to become the Escalus Tree and perishes to save Neo Verona, but she and Romeo are united forever in what may loosely be called a form of heaven shown in the last scene of the final episode.

Neo Verona is moved to become an island paradise where the surviving characters live happily ever after.
