Starbolts #466: Time for Time Force

Hail!

And they’re off to various points in time and space! Where are they all going? Well, here’s a list of who is going where:

Number Time team Time period
1 Mateo/Angelo Crystal’s farm
2 Aquita/Dendra Jenna burns down school
3 Marcus/Rose D.I.S.C.O.R.D. Island
4 Firaxil/Jacob Aquan Occupation
5 Angela/MJ Firaxil and New Inobus
6 Jenna/Sirak Angela’s death
7 TK/Jack Kevin’s mom’s death
8 Kevin/Kaori Death of King Sirak
9 Norad Sara’s death


The only ones not going on a mission are Sara, Shrall, Anya and the newbies. They’ll be staying behind to monitor the crazy adventures through time and space. Let’s not forget that Crystal and M’anta have their own missions to save Carter and Yeena respectively. That isn’t to say the others won’t have important things to do. They will. Oh, they certainly will if Stan and Andrea are planning something. They won’t be left out of the coming conflict! And what a conflict it will be!

You might ask why Shrall wouldn’t go to Sara’s timeline with Norad. Well, it was decided off screen that the android has no emotional impediments at this time. He’d be able to solo it with no problem. No emotional issues. Shrall and the others have another job to do!

So, yes. Marcus is the heart of the team. There’s this thing with the DCAU that if the Flash were to ever die, the entire Justice League would turn evil. This plays on that principle. Call it the “Speedster Principle”. =)

At any event, the stage is set. We’ll be going to these events in chronological order. So, the first event we’re going to is event #4, the days of the Aquan Occupation. Fun times ahead, readers.

Starbolts #465: The Time Lost

 

Looks like the Starbolts will be gearing up to go to many points in their past. Crystal and Manta are going to be saving the first Lady Liberty and his mother. Questions still remain. What is the Professor’s deal? What is the “Parental Directive”? Who is this “Chief”? She is quite familiar with the team. Who could she be?

Some questions will be answered soon enough, true believers! See ya next time!

Starbolts #464: All the Pain of Yesterday

Trigger Warning: This week’s comic contains references to sexual assault. Viewer discretion is advised.

Hail,

This week’s comic had a trigger warning for obvious reasons. I revealed that Crystal was almost sexually assaulted just minutes before meeting Marcus. It’s the reason why she was crying on the rock in Starbolts#304’s flashback scene. Normally, I try to keep the comic light from time to time. However, certain things need to be addressed when talking about certain characters. Characters like Sara, Firaxil and Crystal have not had easy lives and I hope that I am conveying that in the best and most tasteful way possible. My friend, Sam, has been very helpful in that regard. The comic doesn’t make light of what happened to any of those characters. But, sadly it is a fact of life for many and I’m trying my best to treat the situations with the utmost care and delicacy. Despite the fact that these characters have fantastic powers and abilities, they are still characters who have gone through the wringer.

There is a bit more to Cody Dillinger’s story that will be revealed in due time. I don’t enjoy writing this character at all. However, readers will soon see that he got his just desserts. In time, Crystal is going to learn that Cody was more than just a mere farmhand. I don’t want to give anything away. That one time on the rock wasn’t the only time he did something to her. Let’s just leave it at that. More on his backstory and what happened to him soon.

Sufficed it to say, it took her a long time to recover from that and other things Cody did to her over a three year period. The point is that she did and is now in a much healthier relationship with someone who actually loves her and has a great support system.

Picking that period of time was a tough choice for Sam and me. We needed to pick a moment in time where Crystal outright rejected Terra Nova, the people who “raised her” and embraced the life of a superhero. The farm she lived on was not really a farm and the community outside of Bowling Green, Kentucky was not really a community. She was basically raised in an environment akin to the “Truman Show”. Only nastier. All of the children except for Firaxil were children of Terra Nova agents and there were agents running around. I’ll be delving into that story soon, too.

As for the others, the Starbolts are going to have a hard time coming to grips with the time periods they have to go to. These include:

1. Crystal rejecting Terra Nova (as discussed.)
2. Sara’s death
3. Firaxil and the shuttle leaving New Inobus
4. The life bomb on D.I.S.C.O.R.D. island
5. Jenna burning down her school
6. The death of Sirak J’arrsti
7. The death of Criam J’arrsti
8. The death of Kevin’s mother
9. The death of Angela

Those nine events shaped Crystal, Sara, Firaxil, Jack, Jenna, M’anta, Aquita, Shrall, Kevin and Angela into who they are now. Once the Starbolts finally confront The Professor, you can be damn sure that there’ll be hell to pay. Since those Starbolts in particular will be angry, the whole team will be. One thing, though. What are M’anta and Crystal going to do since they won’t be going to these nine time periods? That, readers, we’ll find out next week!
Should also note that the kids are really angry about this. They learned about these events from their parents. MJ almost wanted to reveal himself to his parents. He did feel for them, you have to admit. He’s a good kid.

Starbolts #463: The not too Distant Future

This week we find out who interrupted the wedding of the century and it looks like it’s none other than the children of the Starbolts! Here’s a look at who is who:

Sirak Arlandero, the son of Mateo Arlandero and Aquita J’arrsti.
Dendra Odanta, the daughter of Firaxil Odanta and Sara Whitefox.
Marcus Johnson Jr, the son of Marcus Johnson and Crystal Whitefox.
Jacob Whitefox, the son of Jack Whitefox and Anya Petrov.
Angelo Stanton, the son of Kevin Stanton and Angela Arlandero.
Rose J’arrsti, the daughter of M’anta J’arrsti and Jenna Dastara.

Quite the group. Here’s hoping they can stop the Professor from carrying out his nefarious deeds!
