CC has always been a cheeky, creative, and caring child. From the day she was born, her family called her Cheeky Cee. Everyone knew she was special-but no one know that one day she would also have special powers. CC has always loved hearing her granny tell fabulous stories of a past time, when life was simpler, nature was abundant and bountiful, and the world still had many native plants and animals and unspoiled, exciting places. But in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, CC s granny became sick and was taken to hospital. With this loss, CC finds herself thinking about all the stories she heard from her granny and how her brother, who isn t born yet, won t hear those stories. She thinks about ways she can bring those stories to life, first for her brother and then for so many others. CC is going to put her powers to work to help make a better tomorrow for everyone. In this COVID-19 survival story, a girl whose grandmother has passed away keeps her memory alive by making the world a better place.

In this episode, CC’s adventures starts when she visits the Zoo. There she meets a friendly koala named Bill, who takes her on a whirlwind adventure to see how animals are faring in the wild. They visit many countries and see how many native animals struggle to adapt to this changing world. Seeing this, CC decide she must do something. With help from her school, CC found the courage to start a campaign to save the animal kingdom.

In this episode, CC faces the dilemma of climate change. As CC and her brother Z explore why climate change is occurring, CC realises that everyone has contributed to this phenomenon. CC also realises young people have the most to lose and may face extinction unless people change. CC knows everyone can make a difference through individual action. She realises that real positive change can occur only through combined social action, which has the power not only to halt climate change but also to make this world better for everyone.

In this parallel world, everything is the same, except there are real superheroes. Z is the last of this kind, the last superhero, who must decide how he can use his abilities to fight for truth and justice and uphold freedoms and rights. This tale starts with Z searching for the truth of Gaza and Palestine. Z soon realises there is wholesale deception, lies, and an underlying manipulated narrative that has made it unclear as to who is the real victim or terrorist.As this tale unfolds, it takes Z through the trial and tribulation of being complicit and part of the problem, something we all must also face.How can a superhero unleash justice when reality and truth have been manipulated? How can justice prevail with so many lies that protect the livelihood of many and the interests of a false democracy?The role of the superhero is to fight for rights, overcome injustices, and protect freedoms. But coming from a Western society that itself is complicit with unfolding genocide, what then becomes the role of the superhero? Who then protects the innocent of a country that is persecuted by its people? How can a superhero stop a forever conflict with its latest war?These are some of the dilemmas faced by Z, the last superhero, who must decide what his role is in today’s world. This takes Z on a fascinating yet horrific human story that has integrated religion, politics, predictions, and misgivings and exposes him to age-old truths and a never-ending drama.
