Balance
It all comes down to balance. When the universe was created, light was created by separating it from dark. Therefore, wherever there is light, there is shadow and darkness. For every good there is in the universe there exists the equal but opposite evil; thus the equation stays balanced. Whenever an element of either type is subtracted from the equation, its equal opposite must also be removed. This is why murder is such a hideous act. By subtracting good or evil from the equation, you unbalance the equation and must make up for it by losing the good or evil in your heart.
Us, aliens, are native to this planet you call "Earth." When environmental and climate changes and massive natural disasters forced us to flee this planet, where could we go? There were no habitable planets within reachable near-light speed travel. Therefore, our best shot at survival was to use all of our remaining energy reserves to travel between dimensions, flee to an alternate universe to another earth that was hopefully better suited to our survival. Needless to say, we were quite wrong.
But another terrible lesson we learned was that balance is also maintained across parallel universes. When our people disappeared from one universe and reappeared in another, much hasher version of earth, humans eventually took our place on our original home world. Whenever great people arose on either planet, whether they be leaders, heroes, or villains, their appropriate counterpart always arose from the other world. This is actually a really easy principle to apply. You just need to match up the pairs.
Tart and Pie can be matched with the Avenging One and the Loyal One respectively (and we will continue not to use their names for reasons we will explain later). Quiche is the Loved One's direct opposite. But who are the heroines' and the Blue Knight's equal opposite? Definitely not the Chimera Animals, who were so weak they hardly made a difference in the war. Deep Blue was the evil counterbalance to the power of the heroines. But herein lies the problem. If Deep Blue was so utterly defeated and destroyed that he can never provide the balance required, how does the equation balance itself out? I highly doubt that the heroines will turn evil or mellow out (well one did, but that's also being explained soon). Therefore, a new, far greater evil must eventually rise to compensate not only for the heroines and the Blue Knight, but for Deep Blue as well, for he will only continue to exist due to reconstruction borrowed from the Loved One's and the Blue Knight's personalities. In response to the rise of this new evil, Deep Blue will flee to the safety of his newly forged allies, and she-who-must-not-be-named will be destined to fight him.
How do we know this? We have neither the desire nor the years required. But we will tell you this, simplified version. We were married once. As a family, long ago. With children. Four daughters that no one would regret. It gives life⦠clarity. Makes certain things important. You will know your priorities. When married, two beings, two souls become one; we became one flesh, one totally different being. When having children, you will know love. There is some wisdom only certain people can gain.
Lastly, you all asked about the lack of names whenever we speak. That's because within our culture names are very important. To refuse to speak a name is either a sign of disrespect or an ultimate display of fear for that being. We have no respect for the three human males (the Avenging One, the Loyal One, and the Loved One). We greatly fear the great evil that has arisen, thus we speak her as she-who-must-not-be-named.
Also among us, the aliens you call us, names are not some arbitrary calling given us at birth. Our names are meant to describe who we are, what kind of being we are, how we taste! This is why many of our names translate into the names of food. We recognize that no one is pure good or evil, but somewhere in between. That is also why we call you Mint, Lettuce, Pudding, and Pomegranate, because we feel that's your true names, not the ones your parents gave you. That is also why we no longer call Strawberry "Strawberry" any more. She was not able to balance the good and evil within her, therefore we call her she-who-must-not-be-named not only of the pure evil she now represents, but because she is truly not Strawberry anymore.
We are two, we are one. We died, and now we are two again. Deep Blue speaks and explains to his former enemies and new allies and surrogate family, while She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Dark Strawberry, is reunited with four girls that look identical to the remaining heroines, Mint, Lettuce, Pudding, Pomegranate, but in truth are her daughters. Therefore, two families stand united, with their heads explaining everything that has happened and what will happen. We are still linked, therefore we say the exact same thing. Guess what my spouse said?
