After surviving an invasion on her peaceful homeworld, a beautiful avenger must stop a powerful psychopath from gaining immortality and rescue her kidnapped sister.
As the corrosive force of the evil Loc-Nar continues to spread across time and space, taking many forms, greedy space miner Tyler stumbles upon a rare finding. Almost two long decades have passed since the events of Heavy Metal (1981), and this time, an unsuspecting megalomaniac gets his hands on a fragment of pure, green-hued evil, transforming him into a dangerous, unstoppable maniac lusting for eternal life and destruction. As all-powerful Tyler combs the deep space for clues leading to the fabled Arakacian fountain of immortality, slaughtering innocents, statuesque defender Julie emerges from the ashes of her ravaged planet Eden, driven by an unquenchable thirst for revenge. But can a mere mortal stand in the way of a mad demigod?—Nick Riganas
In the distant past, an ethnic group known as the Arakacians were the dominant power in the known universe. The source of their powers were the sacred waters of immortality, kept within a chamber on the desert planet Uroboris. The Arakacians were eventually defeated by a revolt, losing access to the waters and losing their immortality. The chamber was locked and its key was cast out into space. Whoever found it would reputedly gain both power and insanity. In the present, a miner called Tyler finds the missing key during an asteroid mining expedition. He is transformed into a power-hungry tyrant. He violently hijacks a spaceship and starts seeking immortality. Discovering that the people of the planet Eden contained a weakened form of the immortality fluid within their bodies, Tyler prepares to capture them. He leads a large crew in a sudden invasion of the planet, massacring most of the planet's population, and capturing the rest for experimentation. He keeps Kerrie, a young woman who fought against his forces, as his prize captive and intended mate. After Tyler leaves, there are only two people left on Eden: Julie (Kerrie's sister) and the navigator Germain St. Germain who was left behind by Tyler as punishment for insubordination. Julie forces Germain at gunpoint to follow her orders, and starts a quest for vengeance. She follows Tyler to the space port New Calcutta and then to Uroboris itself. Tyler becomes the new lord of a local reptilian race, while Julie receives unexpected help from a mysterious sage who is known as "Odin". Tyler and Julie soon lead rival forces into combat over possession of the planet's Holy Land, and of the waters of immortality which it contains. But Odin may have a hidden agenda of his own.—Dimos I
In ages past, a malevolent race called the Arakacians discovered a place where space-time leaked an immortality water. The Arakacians conquered the known universe for centuries, and were finally vanquished after the fountain chamber was sealed by freedom fighters. Upon discovery of a shard of the Loc-Nar (the evil orb from the original movie), a miner named Tyler becomes possessed by an insatiable hunger for power and a thirst for immortality. On his way to a planet which has the immortality fountain, Tyler makes a brief stop on F.A.K.K.² (Federation-Assigned Ketogenic Killzone) because its inhabitants carry some immortality water in their bodies. Tyler invades the space colony, wipes out most of the inhabitants, and kidnaps a beautiful woman named Kerrie. Enraged by Tyler's careless rampage, Kerrie's beautiful sister Julie vows to avenge her family and wipe out Tyler before he reaches the fountain.—Kenneth Chisholm <[email protected]>
In ages past, a malevolent race called the Arakacians discovered a place where space-time leaked a type of fluid. This fluid granted immortality to anyone who consumed it. The Arakacians built an empire and enslaved the known universe for centuries; they were unstoppable. The Arakacians were finally vanquished after the fountain chamber (where they gathered the water of life) was sealed by freedom fighters. The key to the chamber, a glowing crystal that will lead the bearer back to the fountain, but would drive anyone who possessed it insane, was cast into space and lost among the stars.
In a present-day asteroid excavation, space miner Tyler and his colleague found the key by accident. Tyler touches the key to the fountain chamber and instantly goes insane. Tyler kills his mining partner, and takes over the ship, killing most of the resisting crew, except for Dr. Schechter, and the pilots Lambert and Germain. His search for the planet with the fountain leads to Eden, a planet that is designated F.A.K.K. 2 (Federation-Assigned-Ketogenic-Killzone to the second level), but has inhabitants whose bodies carry the immortal fluid. Tyler invades Eden, and kills many of the Edenites, capturing some so he can extract the immortal fluids from their bodies. He also keeps the attractive Kerrie for his own sexual purposes. When Germain resists the idea, he is abandoned on Earth.
Kerrie's beautiful sister Julie, who survived the attack, finds Germain and they team up to follow Tyler. At a renegade space station, Julie finds Tyler at a restaurant and critically injures him. However, he ingest a vial of the immortality serum and heals instantly. In the ensuing gunfight, Tyler blows up the club. Julie escapes the explosion; she and Germain board a shuttle-craft that latches onto Tyler's ship with a tractor beam before it jumps into hyperspace. Discovering them mid-travel, Tyler tries to shake them off, but the fight causes the hyperspace to collapse and the two ships to crash.
Julie wakes up on the desert planet called Oroboris, and meets a mysterious cloaked sage named Odin and his assistant, Zeek, a rock-like creature, both of whom are guardians of the ancient fountain. Elsewhere, Tyler's ship has been destroyed and most of its crew and abductees are dead. Tyler order Dr. Schechter to extract Kerrie's fluids. He explores the planet and finds a race of reptilian beings, which he conquers by defeating their champion and then their leader in a death match. Julie enters the reptilian city in disguise as a woman that the reptiles found for Tyler. That night, she seduces Tyler, but when she tries to kill him, Zeek captures her and takes her back to Odin. Julie infiltrates Tyler's ship where she discovers Kerrie is still alive. She takes out Dr. Schechter, frees Kerrie, and escapes as the complex explodes. As a result, Tyler vows to make Julie immortal so he can "screw her and kill her every hour and every day for all eternity". With only three vials of serum, he orders his troops to storm the citadel where the immortality fountain is located.
At the citadel, Julie undergoes a ritual where she is outfitted in armor. She, Kerrie and Germain help the fountain's guardians defend against Tyler's army. In the fighting, Lambert suffers a near-fatal injury and while reaching Tyler's last vial of immortality serum, he knock it loose from Tyler's belt and it breaks on the ground. Enraged, Tyler kills Lambert for this blunder. Tyler then walks to the pit of immortality and is about to put the crystal into the fountain's final lock but is stopped by Julie. She stabs Tyler in the left eye before he is able to put the crystal in the lock. A fight ensues, but Tyler appears to have the advantage, until Odin intervenes, which allows Julie to finally kill Tyler.
Throwing off his cloak, Odin reveals himself to be the last of the Arakacians. He has been in hiding all these centuries, waiting for someone to find the chamber key and be drawn to the fountain. He intends to claim it as his own and reestablish the Arakacian empire. However, Zeek pulls the crystal key from the pedestal, locking Odin inside the fountain chamber forever, and flies into outer space. As Germain and Kerrie help Julie to her feet, Zeek envelops the crystal into himself and becomes a new asteroid to hide the key forever.
