Starbolts #738: The Iron Eagle Rises

 Hail!

    Here it is, ladies, gentlemen and others! The final fight between Jack Whitefox and Roger Stevens over the right to the Iron Eagle mantle! I will admit that the fight was evenly matched until Jack's sisters Carter and Crystal showed up. They were always going to be part of the final battle because the legacy of Iron Eagle is theirs as well and Roger here trampled all over it. Not only that. He had android versions of the Guardians protecting him. Since they were all deceased he tarnished their memory by using them to attack our heroes.  He used androids based on his friend Sentinel in his attacks. That isn't going to sit well with the superhero community.

    Another thing that isn't going to sit well with anyone (Well, Crystal and Carter anyway) is how Lancer used an android based on Velocity in this group. Velocity, if you recall, was a clone of Carter Clive Marshall created to infiltrate the Guardians. She broke free of his control and unfortunately suffered a sad fate just before the real Carter returned to the Starbolts. Her final resting place is with the Whitefoxes' grandparents. Of all of Carter's clones, that one is one of the ones she liked the most. The jury's still out on Nikki.

    The next part of the plan has been set into motion as Heidi tricked Lancer into taking her and Tanis to his final hideout.  I know it didn't take much convincing. But, whoever said Jared Lancer was a smart man? Not me. The end his coming for him. I just need to decide if the final battle will be at the Faeori city or at this hideout. We shall see. I do have to admit he was gullible. All it took was a few words from Heidi to turn things around? Man, no wonder he flunked out of magic school.

See ya next time!
