Some might wonder who the twentyish Caucasian knockout six foot tall blonde with long luxurious hair with dazzling blue eyes named Amanda Blair really was. What was known was that she started off as a notorious arms dealer with ties to the New York Mafia on Earth in the year 2001. What is known even fewer was that after two years she moved up from being a supplier of deadly arms to the highest bidder to becoming the notorious paranormal Assassin Mind Scream. If someone had secrets she would find it or you needed someone silenced she was the one to call it was believed she could be everywhere and nowhere at once. Sadly her alter ego was also that of Topanga Ojeda who had gotten in over her head, been emotionally beaten down by her perceived banishment and finally seduced by the power she could wield over others. This is her story as remembered by Topanga who had literally constructed not only a new body for Amanda but an entirely different physical mind as well as body.
So yeah my name’s like Amanda Blair and I am finer than any normal human alive and I was the all knowing and all seeing cold blooded Assassin Mind Scream. No what does that mean well let’s just say it this way I am sure you have heard of assassins before but the reality is that what is more ominous is when you haven’t. That’s because for all intents and purposes my assassinations were perfect. For you see the perfect assassination is one where only you and the target ever realize they were even the target of an assassination. In other words a perfect accident where a car mysteriously explodes or someone dies of an overdose I am sure you catch my drift. If not then you are just slow and forget you anyway who needs the likes of you.
No why Mind Scream because you see when I say only my victims often knew they were a target it was because in their final moments I recorded all of the thoughts not only in my mind but also a mind crystal. Actually a device of my own creation that allowed a perfect copy of a being to be stored forever a slave to my power. Now before that I took the pleasure in crushing their very minds with the power of my own. I used all the tricks in the book and I even invented a few on how best to bring out the perfect end to an otherwise lowly existence. The key although was to be smarter than those who might have tried to catch me which at the time as the majority of those who I encountered by comparison were intellectually retarded.
I grew fond of the using pawns or in other words mind controlled humans as tools in my games. My favorite was to control someone who I would set up as the lure and then convince the target that they had fallen in love with my pawn. Honestly it was an absolute scream I tell you to watch a target fall in love with my pawn and then promote that pawn to a Queen. Then use that Queen to utterly ruin and decimate their targets life and often more than not actually convince that that they had nothing else to live for. Do you get it yet that worthless fools would often become so miserable they would take their own lives. I literally used to blow my mind even before I screamed into their minds that their time had come and they suffering had finally come to an end.
So sure Topanga or as she likes to call herself these days like to sometimes claim that she only took the lives of sixty or so humans in her career. Sadly the young girl likes to use what I like to call direct math. Now the real tally is a bit more impressive if I do say so myself shall we say in total more like sixty five sentient humans that died by my direct actions and shall we say exactly another two hundred fifty two sentient humans who I like to say perished by their won stupidity. Yet at the times of their deaths they still heard the scream in their minds revealing to them what worthless fools they really were. I mean seriously I believed Darwin when he had talked about survival for the fittest. Trust me when I tell you those two hundred two humans will not be missed by anyone.
I of course spend the time building a vast array of mundane as well as paranormal shall we say liberated contacts worldwide and beyond. To be honest I did not want just a piece of the pie. I wanted the whole dammed thing and was it my fault if those with the balls to go after it that I hung around were often dubbed criminals or super-villains. I will say this much they knew how to party and show a girl a good time and all they asked in return was a little information or the occasional bothersome pawn take of the board. No problem right I mean seriously they were trying to hold us down when all we wanted was the respect we were properly owed.
Seriously who was anyone to tell me what to do and by the year 2003 I had build a vast reputation and I truly had begun to believe that nothing could stop me. Sure there were always associates of mine getting arrested for being stupid but was that my fault I was living the Darwin way baby screaming like mad and enjoying every minute of it. Then one day the party stopped and someone screamed into my mind. It was Topanga and while she was only sixteen at the time she had just graduated early from The Bronx High School of Science and was busy deciding which college to attend to acquire a few degrees.
She had been devoting herself to fitting in so much that she had almost entirely forgotten about me and what I was doing in her off time. Let’s just say she did not take it well, something about her Parents being ashamed of her and how could she had been directly responsible for so many deaths. She even went so far as to believe that she enjoyed taking the lives of sentient beings and using them as toys just a little too much. Come on really I thought at least I had not been a bad girl and started to act like Destiny for that guy was what I called extreme and I will admit I have always had a crush on him. What a rock of a being for not only was he capable of taking the form of energy known as the darkness to some but if you irritated him he just might steal you very body and your soul permanently.
Alright Topanga did not really go for that being only sixteen and all and hey he was just a little two up the food chain for me to start fooling around with. A could dream though and a woman could just scream in delight at being seduced mind, body and soul but such a being. It was perhaps thoughts like that and what she perceived as my pleasure in using humans as nothing more than pieces on the chessboard of life as I have said that caused her too literally write me out of her DNA. She would abandon all of my more sexy contacts only retaining those that could be approached by often neutral parties or an obscure name dropped in order to maintain her true identity. Hell she would even abandon all of old cool apartments around the globe on Earth and throughout the Galaxy.
In other words she tried to erase me and tried to play the role of a mundane human while she worked to subtly undue all of the what she called lives I had restored that still lived of course. Hell she even destroyed my Lab and swore and oath to her Parents that she would not alter her DNA in some mad experiment until she had the discipline to control the darkness within her. Like that was really possible for like Destiny who was the darkness we were also the darkness and so much more for I had only barely begun to explore my powers until she woke up damn her sometimes was all I could say. But I knew the truth she needed me and she could try and fool herself all she liked but while I might in one way be Amanda Blair I was also just another side of Topanga Ojeda.
Yes it is I Topanga now known among the stars as Starchilde and in my past I had done bad things on Earth I had tried to be better and become the Super-Hero known as Liquid Nova but I had only been fooling myself. I had not yet dealt with the darkness within me my power and wisdom had not grown sufficient to not repeat the mistakes of my past just in a different way. I had still not mastered my abilities to the level that I needed to finally see the lesson that my parents were supposed to teach me before my banishment to this time and dimension. I always knew the Earth of this continuum was not really my home and that I was as different from the normal human as perhaps on could be but I should have known better. So now while I have grown in power I have learned that Earth is for the time being forbidden to me.
It’s funny that while I was able to outsmart so many on Earth it was my own delusions of grandeur that proved my undoing. For there were those who watched over Earth who were aware of what I done and they no doubt felt that I had not yet paid my penance. It had hurt me a lot to find that out but I should have not been surprised. It was a cold and hard slap to the face and was it not for the stability I had gained over seven and a half years I know I would have snapped. As it had been I was mature enough to allow myself a brief breakdown to mourn those who lives I had taken as well as those I had lead astray. I had learned yet another lesson that I was the darkness but that what I had forgotten was that I was also the light I only had to look within myself to find it. For if the powers that be were warning me to stay away from Earth and it’s many problems I would take that to mean that there were greater issues to be dealt with from which I must not avoid but face head on. Thankfully I was not alone I had others with me and the Nialla and her Changeling had taught me that it’s alright to fracture your mind as long as you face the responsibilities of you actions head on without avoidance or deception.
