Joey's Super Hero - Chapter 2-3
Tales of Future Past, Part 2 – Emergence of Hellfire
by JT Poole

// Nexus Point – 3000 B.C. – Legacy Chosen Headquarters //

"I think it's real funny that you sent Joey back in time to only repeat what
he had already done.  What do you think the Elders would say about that?"
Venus asked, walking into the Command Room.

"They would say nothing.  It was their request for me to rescue him and send
him back to his rightful time."  Destiny stated, speaking with Venus.  "You
know it's hard to communicate with you with this new attitude you have
developed."

"What attitude!?!"  Venus screamed.

"That one.  It seems that since you lost your status as a guardian you have
been real bitchy lately."  Destiny stated as Venus' eyes started to glow and
she charged at her.

"How dare you speak of that!  That is none of your business Courtney!"
Venus stated as she punched continuously on Destiny's force field.

"You know you are not strong enough to get through my shields.  You will
have to try harder than that."  Destiny stated as Saturn (JT) and Neptune
appeared in the room.

"What`s going on here!"  JT screamed as he grabbed Venus by the arms trying
to restrain her.

"Leave me alone Saturn, I have nothing to say to you either!"  Venus
screamed as she faded away.

"Well I don't know what I stumbled into, but could you explain what just
happened here?"  JT asked.

"I was telling her about her attitude and she flipped out when I reminded
her about the reason why she wasn't a guardian anymore."  Destiny stated.

"Well you know that was a touchy subject for her.  She lost her son."  JT
stated.

"No she didn't loose her son.  He hasn't been born yet.  How can she loose
something she hasn't given birth to yet?"  Destiny asked.

"The same way Mercury and Mars exist.  He came from the future just like
they did."  JT explained.  "When he died, it hit her and it hit her hard."

"Well sorry.  It's not my fault that he did and the Elders reverted her back
to Princess Venus.  I don't understand why any of you should be guardians
anyway.  Don't you guys have enough to deal with being Royal Court for
Princess Eternity?"  Destiny asked.

"Well like I told her, I am going to tell you.  We do what our `Destiny'
stakes that we do.  Like you are Guardian Destiny, I am Legacy Saturn, which
is the Prince of Saturn.  We are all a prince or a princess of or name sake.
I know that some of us have extra duties, such as me being Guardian Phoenix,
or you being Legacy Overseer, we have to do what our destiny leads us to
 do."  JT stated as he felt a flash of pain.

"Saturn are you okay?"  Destiny asked.

"No I must go.  Something's wrong.  I can't stay here.  I will destroy
everything here if I remain."  JT screamed as his costume changed from that
of Legacy Saturn, to that of Demonloque.

"Oh no!  JT you are scaring me.  I hope this is one of your practical jokes.
If you wanted to get a rise out of me, you are getting one."  Destiny stated
as she raised her force field again.

"Sorry Destiny, but you must forgive me, for I am no longer Legacy Saturn,
you may refer to me as Hellfire!"  JT stated as his body caught on fire and
disappeared.

"Oh my!  I best contact every available Legacy that I can, I can sense
danger to the planetary balance by the minute."  Destiny stated.

As her body started to glow, Destiny didn't notice that a portal had opened
into Nexus Point and a strange being was lurking in the shadows.  Not
tripping any of Nexus Point's magical sensors, the being was able to move
around without any detection.  Placing something strange atop the Chalice of
Life, the being changes shape to the look of Venus then approaches Destiny.

"What's going on here?  Why are you calling out?"  The being asked.

"Venus here, but that's not possible.  You are half way around the world
thousands of years in the future."  Destiny stated.

"I am here woman!  Why are you calling out!"  The being asked Destiny again.

~ Planet Soldiers hear me!  There is an intruder here in Nexus Point.  I
need help! ~

// Orlando, FL – 2003 A.D. – Joey's House //

"What the hell is that?"  Joey asked as he fell off the roof.

"No!!!!!"  Lance screamed out as he thought Joey was falling to his death.

(<Splink>)

"Hey baby, do you need some help?"  JT asked, appearing above Joey to catch
him before he fell to the ground.

"JT is that you?" Joey asked starring at the new costume.

"Sure it's me, why wouldn't it be?"  JT asked, as he floated himself and
Joey to the ground.

"Well you look different, you look almost like Demonloque again.  You aren't
Demonloque are you?"  Joey asked stepping away from JT.

"No I am not Demonloque again, but you may refer to me as Hellfire."  JT
stated as his costume caught on fire again for effect.

"I hear something in my mind, is it you JT?"  Joey asked.

"No it isn't."  JT stated as he psi-linked with Joey's mind to hear what he
was hearing.  "Oh no, something's wrong back at Nexus point.  Let's go."

"What!  How am I supposed to go?  I don't know how to use my powers."  Joey
stated as JT grabbed him by the hand and the two of them disappeared.

// 3000 B.C. - Nexus Point  //

As all of the Planet Soldiers arrived at Nexus Point, things got a little
bit nasty as there were two Venus standing in the room and there seemed to
be some sort of stand off.  As Neptune, Mars, Mercury, Pluto, Jupiter and
Uranus stood there watching the two Venus fight, they dared not interfere,
not knowing which was the real Venus.

"Star Prism Power!"  JT shouted as he and Joey appeared in Nexus Point.  "I
am Legacy Saturn!  Who the hell are you?"

"Stay out of this Saturn, I can handle this myself!" One of the Venus spoke.

"No jump in Saturn, I can't defeat her without your help."  The other Venus
spoke.

"Joey transform."  JT stated, as Joey raised his hands and screamed his
transformation spell.

"StarHeart Power Transform!"  Joey shouted as his body started glowing
brightly as he transformed into Legacy StarHeart catching both Venus' off
guard.

"Cosmic Heart Ache!"  One of the Venus' screamed as the other one deflected
the attack.

"Heart Reflection!"  the other Venus screamed.

"I don't get it.  Which is which?"  Joey stated.

"I don't know.  I can't seem to distinguish between the two of them."  JT
stated, "they both have the same DNA structure and brain patterns."

"So you are saying you can't read them at all?"  Joey asked.

"I can read both of them, they are identical."  JT stated.  "Where's
Destiny?"

"When we got her she was lying on the floor unconscious.  We got her into
the infirmary, but I am afraid she's the only one that knows what really
happened."  Mercury stated.

"This has to stop.  I'm Legacy Saturn and I'm not happy!"  JT stated as he
started to glow again.

"Dad what are you doing?"  Mercury asked.  "Don't do something we will
regret later."

"Get back Mercury, I don't want you to be hurt."  JT stated as he floated
over to both women and grabbed them both by the arm and released a profusion
of energy, causing one of the women to fall to the floor.

"Dad!  Are you crazy, what are you trying to do here?"  Mercury asked as he
ran over to the woman on the floor.

"Marty no!!!  That's not Venus, she's the real Venus."  JT stated as the
woman on the floor grabbed Mercury and they disappeared.  "No!  No!"

"Oh J, I am so sorry."  Venus stated as he released her and fell to the
floor crying.  "We will find him.  I do know that that thing wasn't me and I
can track it."

"I can track it to and I am going now!"  JT stated as he spread his arms out
and everyone in the room vanished as he flew out of the room, blasting
through the ceiling.

// Someplace in another dimension //

~ Dad help me!  I need help! ~  Mercury called out telepathically.

"You might as well stop trying.  He can't hear you here."  The woman stated.

"Who the hell are you?  Why have you brought me here?"  Mercury asked.

"Look!  I am in control here.  You don't get to ask me questions.  I ask
them and you answer them."  The woman spoke.

"I am not going to answer anything until you tell me who the fuck you are!"
Mercury stated, trying to use his powers to get out of the energy cell he
was in.

"Stop wasting your time brat.  No matter how much you try, you cannot get
out of that.  I know.  If your father can't get out of it, I am quite sure
you can't and he's more powerful than you."  The woman stated.

"How do you know that my father is more powerful than me?" Mercury asked.

"I know because I am his daughter!"  The woman spoke.

"He doesn't have a daughter!"  Mercury stated.  "He only has two children,
that's me and my brother."

"Get over yourself brat.  You are only thinking in terms of your own damn
reality.  I am his daughter from his rightful place in time and space.  You
are not his child, I am!"  The woman spoke.

"Who are you?"  Mercury asked again.

"Nothing more, nothing less.  I am the daughter of the father, father of the
father, princess of the planet you became heir to."  The woman spoke.

"That's not possible.  How can you be the princess when I am the prince?
Mercury has only one ruler and that's me!"  Mercury stated.

"Get your head out of the damn clouds brat.  Hello, I am the rightful heir
to planet Mercury.  You shouldn't even exist to me."  The woman spoke.

"Well I do exist and you are not making any sense."  Mercury stated as he
tried to use his powers to escape again, this time causing him to create a
small ice storm within the energy cell.

"I told you that you cannot escape from that cell.  Take my word on that."
The woman spoke again.

"If you are father's daughter, tell me, who is your mother?"  Mercury
stated.

"Easy one, my mother is Danielle Drake."  The woman spoke.

"Yeah right.  Danielle Drake and my father are not married and never will
be.  Glamor and my father don't even get along."  Mercury stated.

"Glamor, who's Glamor?"  The woman asked.

"Glamor is Danielle Drake.  You said she was your mother."  Mercury stated
starring at her now.

"Danielle Drake is my mother, but her name wasn't Glamor.  You must have her
confused with someone else."  The woman stated.

"No I don't.  The Danielle Drake that I know and that dad knows is Glamor.
You must be confused."  Mercury stated.  "Maybe there's something wrong in
your brain."

"Shut Up!"  The woman screamed.  "Don't you say another word until I ask you
something!"

"Make me!"  Mercury stated.

"Look, I can kill you at any moment.  I have the power I need to kill you."
The woman stated.  "If I were you I would keep my mouth shut and not argue
with the person that has your life in her hands."

"If you want to kill me then kill me.  I don't have to listen to you rant
and rave about something that isn't true."  Mercury stated.

"Can I said.  One more word from you and I might just hurt you and hurt you
badly."  The woman stated.

"Do it."  Mercury stated as her eyes started glowing and she blasted him
with a beam of energy that resembled that of his father's cosmic energy
bolt.  "Oh my god, that was a cosmic energy bolt!"

"Yes it was, but why are you still standing?"  The woman asked.

"I am immune to my father's cosmic powers."  Mercury stated, "So if that's
all you have then you are screwed.  Once I get out of this thing, your ass
is mine."

"Well keep dreaming.  You will never get out of there unless I let you out."
The woman stated.  "That was designed specifically to hold someone of dad's
genetic structure.  Since you obviously is his child it affects you the same
way it affects him."  The woman spoke.

"And how is that?"  Mercury asked.

"It blocks out his psionic powers and keeps him from using his biomorphic
powers to use any powers that he may have absorbed recently."  She stated
still reading through some papers on the table.

"I am not biomorphic like dad is.  I do have his psionic powers, but my
powers are completely different; there must be something else you are not
telling me about his cell."  Mercury stated.

"Oh yeah, if your DNA Matrix has a certain genetic code, that of my father's
then you are unable to pass through it."  She stated, causing Mercury to
change into Crystal Mercury, thinking that he could escape that way only to
be bounced back into the back of the cell.

"Ouch!  Let me out of this thing you bitch.  I am getting really mad.
Either you let me out of this thing or I will die trying to get out and kill
you once I do."  Mercury demanded.

"Tell you what.  Since you think you are so tough, I will let you out."  She
stated as she picked up a strange collar off of the table and placed it
around Mercury's neck.

"What the hell is this thing?"  Mercury asked trying to take the collar off,
but it wouldn't budge.

"That is a power nullifier.  It knocks out the powers of anyone wearing it.
So you are out of the cell now.  Kick my butt!!"  She stated goading
Mercury.

(<Boooommmmmm>)

"I think we can do that ourselves!  Mercury fallback."  Venus stated as she
flew by and grabbed the woman by the hair.

"Put me down you bitch!  Let me go!"  The woman stated.

"Okay, since you asked nicely."  Venus stated as she dropped the woman, from
a high distance from the floor in the room as Saturn, StarHeart and Neptune
appeared in the room.

"Cool guys, get her!"  Mercury stated as he still tried to get the collar
from around his neck.

"Yo Bud, what's that thing around your neck?"  Joey asked walking over to
Mercury.

"Some thing to keep me from using my powers.  I can't seem to get it off."
Mercury stated.

"Let me try."  Joey stated as he grabbed the thing and nothing happened.
"It won't budge buddy.  Let me try something else."

As Joey and Mercury stood there trying to remove the collar from around his
neck, the shit seemed to hit the pan as Patrollers entered the room and
started firing energy bolts at everyone in the room.

"Look out Patrollers!"  The woman screamed.

"What the hell is a Patroller?"  JT asked as one of them grabbed him and
slammed him to the ground hard.

"No JT!"  Joey screamed as he saw that the robot had grabbed his boyfriend
and could have killed him.

"No Joey, I think dad's alright.  I can still sense him."  Mercury stated as
the collar fell off of him.  "Alright, that's what I am talking about.
Mercury Ice Power Change Up!"

(<BOOOMMMM>)

"Get off of me you vile thing!"  JT screamed as he blasted the robot with
energy.

"Let's stop these things before they cause more problems, then we can handle
her."  Venus stated firing at the robots.

"Dad, dad are you okay?"  Mercury asked as appeared next to Saturn to help
him up.

"I'm fine, let's get her and get the hell out of here!"  JT stated as he
flew by and grabbed Joey and then wrapped the woman in a telekinetic bubble
and then teleported away.

// 3000 B.C. – Nexus Point //


"You have to answer for the crimes you committed against us.  First you will
tell us who the hell you are and how were you able to get in here, second
you will tell me why you tried to kill Mercury!"  JT stated as he tried to
compress the telekinetic bubble the young woman was in as she was using her
own powers to fight off JT's attack.

"No!  I will tell you nothing!"  The girl spoke as JT increased the output
of his power.

"Dad you are going to kill her if you keep doing that!"  Mercury stated.

"Then if I call her it's worth it.  She almost killed Destiny!"  JT stated
as he tried to compress the bubble more.

"Stop it!"  She screamed, as it seemed she couldn't withstand the pressure
of JT's attack any longer.

"Answer me!"  JT demanded.

"I will not, just let me go father!"  She stated.

"Father!  I am not your father!"  JT stated as Joey lifted his head to see
what was going on this time.

"That's what she told me in the place where we were.  She said that you were
her father and that Danielle Drake was her mother."  Mercury stated as JT
snapped his head around to look at him.  "Well that's what she said."

"No, it's not possible on any plane of existence.  I am not your father!"
JT stated.

"I don't know why you are denying it, you are my father, just admit it!"
She stated again.

"What's your name?  Tell me that!"  JT stated.

"My name is Rachel, Rachel Davis!"  She stated trying to hold out still
fighting JT's attack.

"Oh my god.  You are supposed to be dead!  You dead a long time ago!"  JT
stated.  "What kind of game you are trying to pull here!"

"I am not pulling a game.  I came back to the past to save you."  She stated
as Mercury looked at her as she said the last parts.

"You what!  What made you come back to the past to save him?"  Mercury
asked.

"He was killed by Talisman and Talis and the only way I thought to save him
was to come to the past to warn him of his death."  She stated.

"Dad I believe she's telling the truth.  I don't know how, but I believe
her.  In the future where me and Mars came from, I saw you and dad die.  The
only thing I wanted to do was save you from that fate.  I did everything I
could to make sure you were safe."  Mercury explained.

"I know that Marty, I remember when you appeared in the past to save me.
That's when you became Legacy Mercury, when you gained your namesake."  JT
stated.

"Well what she is saying resembles what I did.  Is there some possibility
that she is your daughter from another time and she went through the same
thing we went through?"  Mercury asked.

"No, none whatsoever.  If Danielle Drake is her mother than I am sorry, but
it couldn't be."  JT stated as Joey walked over to him.

"Baby I am confused?  I don't understand any of this."  Joey stated.

"Well it's kind of hard to explain, but I will do my best.  In 1994 I got
married to a guy and we were happy together.  In my reality and time, he was
killed.  I went on for months sulking and mourning.  When I discovered that
I was able to slip into another time and reality, I found my husband and we
fell in love again and got married.  In that time, we wanted children in our
lives so we both donated sperm to a surrogate mother and that's how Mars and
Mercury were created."  JT explained.

"Who was the woman used for the surrogate?"  Mercury asked.

"A friend of mine named Amora Aquilla."  JT stated as Mercury turned around
and gasped.

"Destiny's sister is our mother?"  Mercury asked.

"Yes she is."  JT stated.  "I am sorry that I didn't tell you."

"Wait a minute.  The you here and now know this information?"  Mercury
asked.

"Yes I know this.  I am your father."  JT stated.

"Wait a minute, so you are the one that will die in the future."  Mercury
stated, starting to cry.

"Yes unfortunately I will die, unless something happens to change that."  JT
stated as Joey looked at him and hugged him around the waist.

"As long as I am around you, I won't let anything happen to you, ever."
Joey stated kissing JT on the cheek.

"Answer me this Mercury, why didn't you go back to save your other father?"
JT asked as Joey looked at him strangely.

"Grandmother told me that it wouldn't do any good that you existed outside
of time and he didn't so there was no way to save him."  Mercury stated
still crying.

"Come here Marty."  JT stated as he hugged Marty and the telekinetic bubble
he had around the young woman disappeared.

"Ah JT, I think you better pay attention, your telekinetic bubble just faded
away."  Joey stated turning around to try and protect both of them from the
energy beam the woman was generating.

"Yahhh!!!!!"  Joey screamed as he concentrated hard enough and his force
field protected the three of them from the woman's energy blast.

"Joey are you okay?"  JT asked as he pushed both of them behind him and
changed back into Hellfire instantly.  "You should have used this time to
escape, now that you have instigated a new battle, I have no choice but to
do away with you!"

"Dad no, don't do it.  Let her go." Mercury stated as JT floated up and
created a sphere of energy.

"Cosmic Fire Reflection!"  JT screamed as he hurled a giant ball of fire at
the young woman.

"Dad no!!!!!!"  She screamed as the ball of fire engulfed her body.

"God no!  JT you killed her!"  Joey shouted at JT as he started glowing and
flew over to the young girl.

"Get away from her!"  JT shouted, as he got ready to fire at her again.

"No JT I won't.  Stop this.  You have hurt her enough!"  Joey shouted at JT.

"Are you questioning my judgment of this matter?"  JT asked.

"Yes I am.  You didn't have to hit her with that much energy.  She's barely
breathing."  Joey stated.

"Okay, I guess that means we are at a standoff.  You take her and deal with
her, once she has defeated you, don't come running to me for help."  JT
stated as he floated down to the floor and walked out of the room.

"Where are you going?"  Joey yelled behind JT as he left the room.

"Home!"  JT stated as he faded away.

"I am really getting scared of him.  This new Hellfire persona is just as
bad as Demonloque.  I wonder if he's good or evil."  Mercury stated as he
and Joey carried the girl to the infirmary.
