Starbolts #745: Facing the Dragon

 

Hail!

    That was one way to stop the sliver of Demonstorm and Zarantha from taking over Marcus and Crystal's bodies. Unfortunately, the entities seemed to have done some damage in the holodeck. It's a good thing they were there and not at their apartment. I don't think the building needed another hole or two. A possessed Crystal and Marcus could do a lot of damage and it's a good thing our heroes were on hand to stop their friends from doing something dangerous.

    It seems that the Order of Korun detected the slivers in Marcus and Crystal when they were at the academy back in Starbolts #729.  That prompted them to send Vasha in to see if they were okay. The shards were removed and now everyone is happy. Very happy in Crystal's case.

    I'm not one hundred percent sure what new feeling she has. I think I'll explore it once she's on Aquarius. I'm not going to drop it or anything. It should be important to her character development and overall arc. She's a character who has had a lot of trouble in her past and Marcus has always been there to help. That's what drew her to him. That and his unfailing ability to be a gentleman. He's never been one to take advantage of anyone. But, if things were different who knows what would've happened.

    At least the two of them know not to dwell on "What ifs". A bright future lays a ahead of them. Our heroes will be married in five comics. It should be a great celebration! Let's hope there's no drama on Aquarius. 

See ya next time! 

Oh and I do like how I called out the cliche of being woken up by a kiss. It's lame but there was really no other way to defeat that thing. If Marcus fought it, he'd hurt Crystal. So, in order to defeat it, you needed to do something else. It was a risk and it worked out well for those two!
