Starbolts #633: Kyodon Against Humanity

 

 Hail!

    Looks like Kyodon and Ellie are about to engage in a very deep conversation about life, the universe and everything. Will she be able to convince the giant turtle to cease her rampage? Let's hope so. Let's also hope that Ellie's anger toward her mother doesn't get the better of her. Sure she has every right in the world to be a LITTLE mad at her. However, there is a mission to complete. Though, it would help if humans didn't interrupt the action with their silly helicopters. 

    As alluded to way back in Starbolts #611,  Eleanor is indeed in a romantic relationship with one of the techies that work around the academy and Watchtower. Her name is Tricia and they've been going out for a while. How they've managed to keep it a secret is a bit of a mystery. Then again it's not like the telepaths are going to pry into the brains of those around them. That's an invasion of privacy. Still, I think her friends would be most happy she's in a relationship with someone who clearly cares for her. Will it be enough to convince Kyodon to stop her rampage? Time will tell, my friends. Time will tell.

 In the mean time, the scene is set. The players are ready. Let's see if Ellie can dance!

Starbolts #632: To Fight a Giant Turtle

 

 Hail!

    This week the Starbolts are gearing up to fight a giant fire-breathing space turtle. How do you even fight something like that? Angela tried talking to her back in Starbolts #290 and successfully quelled her rampage. Since her powers have been diminished, I don't think the same trick can work a second time. So, the Starbolts had to come up with an alternative lest their city becomes a parking lot.

   The call went out to the young and innocent among the Starbolts. They are the ones who could potentially stop Kyodon before she causes too much property damage. It's a good thing Crystal and Jack went to see the mayor before the turtle arrived. After what happened in Starbolts #618, can you really blame them for taking action here to prevent a crisis? No, no you really can't!

 I really like how Yeena is stepping up to the plate in this story because she's basically one of the only few Agents who haven't been kidnapped. It falls on her to advise the Starbolts in these matters. However, it looks like the former queen is about to take matters into her own hands with the help of Pegasus. Will they be able to find the Agents? Let's hope so!

Oh and I should point out that the coordinates I put in the comic is a real world location. It's not an island. It's actually open ocean about three hundred miles from Kiribati. Thank you, Google Earth!!

See ya next time as we'll see if Yeena and Pegasus can find the Agents of S.T.A.R. AND if Ellie and Richie can stop Kyodon before it's too late.

See ya then!

Starbolts #631: Teenager in Crisis

 

 Hail!

    Kyodon is about to make landfall in the city and the Starbolts have to prepare for her arrival. How will they stop her? She has already judged M'anta, Shrall and Aquita for not leaving when they could. So, it looks like the beast may be out for their blood. Things are looking bleak for our heroes. How will they stop her?

    Well, the answer may come from an unlikely source. I'm not going to spoil anything right away. However, the clues are in the conversation Yeena had with Ellie. It looks like Yeena is two for two in this storyline when it comes to dealing with characters who have a traumatic past. If you recall Crystal had a similar talk with her royal highness back in Starbolts #622. Yeena is pretty good with the advice and it looks like we got some insight into what motivates Kyodon.

    It seems that the giant turtle is like a genie. She has to obey whoever is controlling her and so far no one has been able to do it. I imagine Shrall and co were trying to free her from the bonds ever since she was first released. What would it take to FINALLY free her of the control of others? Something's gotta help her and I'm sure Kyodon would be quite relieved to finally be free after so many centuries of doing the bidding of various ne'er do wells. Time will tell.

 Ellie's reaction to everything is pretty well justified. Can't blame her for not being a fan of her mother right now. I'm pretty sure those two will have a LOT to talk about soon.

So much more drama is coming up. Stay tuned, true believers!

See ya next time!

Starbolts #630: Kyodon on Earth

 

Hail!

    We have some major revelations this week, don't we? The first one is that Elisabeth wants Kyodon to find and eliminate all metahumans starting with the academy. That is clearly bad news for the Starbolts. Her first target would ultimately be the academy and from there she'll be going worldwide while Terra Nova has their mock trial for the Agents of S.T.A.R. There's no other word for it. It's clearly a mock trial!

     At least Kyodon was kind enough to warn the avatars of the Gods to not interfere. Yeah, they're not going to listen while a giant space turtle is hunting their friends down. Terra Nova also warped her mind. It's going to take a lot of convincing to get her to stop her rampage across the globe! Let's hope our heroes can stop her before it's too late.

    Now we know just how the Gaea has been doing its magnificent feats and emerge from battles relatively unscathed. Now we know why a decades old spaceship has been able to withstand all that punishment! The ship was being run on pure Centurion force derived from a Centurion prime! That's a lot of cosmic power and whoever has been siphoning off the energy has been using it quite haphazardly. Something's gotta give and I'm sure Gregorio would want his powers back.

 The trial of the Agents of S.T.A.R. is on the horizon and it's just funny to think that the baddies think they have a legal leg to stand on. Who's gonna be the lawyer? Lionel Hutz from the Simpsons? Who would honestly take this case? Yeah, this is a farce and I'm sure the Agents know that.

Stay tuned for a legal drama coming soon!

See ya next time!
