The rain seemed to not want to ever go away from the Bay Area. Many tears have fallen from Haven's eyes like rain. She's lost so many loved ones. She's greatful to haver her brothers alive and well. She will always consider Omegator to be her brother. She's now alone with her internet friends. Even with the way life is, life seem to be getting better for her.
Haven: "I know my lil bro' is taking care of business down there in West Hollywood with DreamSpiral. He's brave. I am a little concerned because he's never lived that far from me."
Masquerade: "I know we don't know each other that well. I do know know that Digitrix knows how to handle himself."
Haven: "It's time I let him grow up. I don't know why I'm so happy he's down there."
Masquerade: "I'm a parent. I'm sure you feel like his mother. No offense. From what you've told me about your life, I think you became the parent."
Haven: "I never thought of it like that. I guess I did become the parent. Thanks for listening to me. I'm getting tired. I'm going to sleep now. Tomorrow is a busy day. I want to go visit VenomsWrath. They have him at San Quentin. Just like my father."
Masquerade: "It's so sad that he had to end up there. He's only 18. I didn't have the chance to know him better."
Haven: "I hope he's doing okay in there. Well good night."
Masquerade: "Good night Haven."
{The night is cold and wet. The morning welcomes the sun. The rain has finally stopped. TazSpice has called everyone for the morning roll call and report.}
TazSpice: "it's about time you all woke up. I'm starting to think you all need a vacation."
Lugnut: "I feel like I am on vacation. Thanks for letting me join your team."
Mantrix: "It's good to have such youth and vitality in the group."
Lugnut: "I'll be 17 in two months."
LaughWave: "Good morning Star Souls. Roll call. LaugHWave, present!"
Haven: "Haven, present!"
Prizmix: "Prizmix, present!"
PoleRider: "PoleRider, present!"
Masquerade: "Masquerade, present!"
SnapShot: "SnapShot, present!"
Mantrix: "Mantrix, present!"
Lugnut: "Lugnut, present!"
LadyUtopia: "LadyUtopia, present!"
Haven/LaughWave: "What?"
Haven: "Who the hell are you?"
LaughWave: "How did you get in here?"
LadyUtopia: "I just grew a vine and climbed into the window. It was hard finding you people. I felt really bad about teaming up with Insinct. I was influenced by her passion for protecting animals. I guess she went insane from it. She is in jail now. I came to see if that offer Masquerade gave me was still valid. I was wondering if I could be part of your team."
LaughWave: "I guess if you took the chance of getting turned into mulch, you must be serious."
LadyUtopia: "I followed Masquerade around. He told me that LaughWave gave him a second chance. I want to prove to you people that I'm not a bad person."
Mantrix: "She does know how to handle herself and her Soul Power."
PoleRider: "She was a good opponent. I would like to fight along side her. Instead of against er."
Masquerade: "I say let her join."
Haven: "You seem to be a sincere and passionate young woman. It would be wrong for us to turn our backs on you. You can join us in our fight against the Necro Souls."
LadyUtopia: "Thank you. Thank you all for letting me join."
Haven: "Please excuse me. I have some important things to do. SnapShot and I are going to go visit BloodWrath. We'll be back soon. Don't start dinner without us."
Prizmix: "I think we are going to go check out the St. Patrick's Day Parade."
SnapShot: "Well, have fun you guys."
{Haven and SnapShot take the Larkspur Ferry to get to San Quentin. The rest of the team go to enjoy San Francicso's way of celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Meanwhile in Las Vegas. A young Cameron Rivera, waits in line to board his flight to Los Angeles. He thinks to himself.}
Cameron: "I can't believe my flight back to L.A. would land me here in Las Vegas. I can't believe my parents actually believed that I went to San Francisco to check out the Universities. I can't wait to graduate from high school. They can never find out about me being gay. They would disown me. And as if that wasn't bad enough. I reach puberty and I get these strange powers. The Star Souls will help me out. I know they will. I wonder if any of my friends saw me on the news. Oh well. Oh boy. I was so into my thoughts I didn't notice the same people that got kidnapped are getting on the plane too. Oh man, that guy sure is handsome. I wish I had the nerve to ask him if he is gay. No way. I could never ask anyone that. I wouldn't want someone to ask me. I think I'm blushing. I better stop thinking about him. I better stop staring at him. Focus, Cameron, focus. Maintain a cool composure. Oh boy. Please don't let him sit next to me. Just my luck. He sits next to me. This is going to be a long flight."
*This story continues in Issue *3 of Dream Souls.*
{Back in San Francisco. Haven and SnapShot are having a conversation with BloodWrath.}
Haven: "Don't worry Travis. They are not going to put you on death row.I'll hire the best lawyers to get you out. You had no control over your rage."
BloodWrath: "Leondra. You weren't there. I killed her. I am a monster. I had no control over my rage. I don't deserve to live. I have to stay here. Please don't try to get me out."
SnapShot: "You are not a monster. You just need to learn how to control your Soul Power like us. You're a good kid, Travis. We don't want to see you rot in prison."
BloodWrath: "I think I just need a good cry. I love you both. What if my rage gets out of control again? What if I hurt someone I love again?"
SnapShot: "Again!?"
BloodWrath: "Leondra knows all about it. I went to her chatroom one day to tell her about me. She listened good. I told her about how I killed my mother accidently when I was five. The police never knew it was me that killed her. How could a five year old kill? I don't know what came over me. I don't even remember how it happend. All I remember is being very angry. Leondra told me about her losses. She told me that I Had some Soul Power. We bonded in chat. It was my dream come true to come live with her. Then, DarkMind took her away from us. I knew I couldn't help her. I was scared I'd kill again in my rage. I should have never came back."
Haven: "Travis. I'm sorry I couldn't be there to help you. I am here now to help you get through this."
SnapShot: "I guess we all have our stories. I'm here to help too. The Star Souls stick together. Friends to the very end!"
Prison Guard: "Okay people! Visiting hours are over! Party's over! You don't have to go home, but, you can't stay here. HaHaHaHa!"
SnapShot: "What a rude punk. It is time we head back. See you soon, Travis."
Haven: "We'll come back and visit again soon."
BloodWrath: "Later Masturbaters. HaHaHa!
SnapShot: "Oh how I miss his crazy humor."
{Haven and SnapShot return to base. BloodWrath is excorted back to his cell. He sits there and wishes how he could turn back time. He cries. He gets a visit from someone unexpected.}
TiempoDios: "Travis."
BloodWrath: "What the heck is going on here? Is that you Jimmie?"
TiempoDios: "It is I. You are here for a reason. I just want to give some comfort. Rest your mind. Think about what a great person you are. Everything happens for a reason. Just remember that. Now get some rest."
BloodWrath: "I will wait patiently. What else can you tell me?"
TiempoDios: "That's all I can reveal to you now. You are part of a much bigger picture. Just know this. Icicle is not dead. I must go now!"
BloodWrath: "What? What do you mean she's not dead? Dammit! Don't leave me hanging like this!"
{TiempoDios leaves BloodWrath with much to think about. Meanwhile, back at the Star Soul base. The party goers tell Haven and SnapShot all about the fun they had.}
Lugnut: "There was so much to do. I really enjoyed myself."
Prizmix: "There is much more this city has to offer."
LaughWave: "So how was your visit with BloodWrath? I hate that only two people can visit him at once."
Haven: "Let's just say it was a good day for all of us."
SoulSlayer: "Enjoy your ten minutes of fame. I will assasinate you all. I thought I had rid this planet of those Soul Powers. I guess not. Time to start collecting Soul Powers again. I can add a few more to my collection of thousands. HaHaHaHa!!"
Icicle alive? Could BloodWrath have been framed? If you thought DarkMind or Omagator were evil. Watch out for SoulSlayer. All shall be revealed in due time. Til then, keep looking to the Stars.
