Journey of the First Two Years
The following recaps the main events from Starlio Stex: Year 1 & 2.
Once an ordinary 14 year old teenager,
Starlio Stex was born into poverty,Mason Stex a father who was working as a high ranking military general,easily able to provide for the family but always negligent to them,spending his money outside in gambling,smoking,drinks and women.
With little to no financial savings,his mother,Alice was forced to work multiple jobs to support Starlio and his brother,Mitchell to attend their local school, North Star Academy.
However,Starlio had always craved to be someone more,using his intellect for the betterment of the world.Using his passion for inventing,Starlio collected spare parts from a local scrapyard,building crazy inventions like taser gloves, homemade trackers,grappling hooks,homemade EMP bombs and most impressively, a jet pack fully capable of hours of flight time with nothing more than batteries.
Eventually after an incident in the school cafeteria,Starlio bumped into a classmate of his,Shannon Ray who he eventually bonded with more and along with his friends,Roy and Conner,things were going smoothly his way as he made more friends and successfully test ran his jet pack,much to his delight.
Things changed one day when human traffickers kidnapped Shannon and his friends on a school trip.
Fortunately,Starlio had Shannon's device tracked,which allowed him to find their location.Begging for the adults responsible to believe him and go after his friends,Starlio gave up when he was overlooked for simply being a teenager and out of rage,Starlio took his jet pack and other self defensive inventions,flying all the way to the location they were held in and breaking his friends out with Shannon herself still missing.
Determined,Starlio found himself in actual combat for the first time,using the element of surprise to his advantage and eventually finding Shannon after facing an unnaturally strong man,only known as Demonshot in combat.Barely alive,Starlio finally managed to free Shannon who in return,carried him with all of her depleting strength,using the jet pack to escape and crash land beside a road where a kind driver took them to the hospital.

With the news of his heroic rescue being reported on the news,Starlio woke up from his coma to meet the brothers Xavier Navarro and Javier Navarro.
Both men ran Navarro Industries,a company which invents state of the art products for the average household at an affordable price.Xavier was the head of the inventing team,a master engineer in every way and Javier was a lawyer who helped the company with the legal side of things.
The men offered Starlio a chance to work with them,giving Starlio the freedom to use their resources and financial abilities in exchange for the prodigy to make new and amazing products for them.Starlio agreed knowing how much the money would helped them and weeks after his discharge,Starlio found himself upgrading his jet pack to create a high tech armor known as the Model 1.
The Model 1 was bulletproof,capable of flight and armed with two shoulder missiles and two miniguns attached to it's forearms.With it,Starlio decided to hunt down the traffickers who once kidnapped his friends and eventually found them,taking them on in battle and having a rematch with Demonshot who he easily defeated before handing them over to the police.
This was not the end Starlio expected.

An unknown entity of the mob world,only known as the Chairman broke Demonshot out of his prison transport,offering him a chance to end Starlio.Demonshot agreed and weeks later with the weapons and men provided by the Chairman,hijacked the Model 1 from the Navarro Industries warehouse.With the armor,Demonshot attacked North Star Academy with the men and weapons provided to him by the Chairman.
Dozens of teachers and students fell to the gun men and Starlio himself,caught off guard by the attack and got separated with the rest of his school,knocked out unconscious by a rogue blast.The rest of the students were rounded up in the middle of the school and completely in the mercy of Demonshot.
