Soul Searching: The Tale of Tom Sawyer

[Bartholomew Bellupine]

After he left SD, he headed south, looking for something, anything. It was not until he reached a small town called Eldorado, that he found it in the form of a little boy named Diego. This boy lived alone with his mother, and was forced to work in the mines by the dictatorous leader of town.

Not knowing what to do, Tom made his camp out in a small cave he had found. He watched the city for months, not really knowing how to help them covertly. Then it hit him, he'd use the superstitions of the citizens to drive away the scruge.

He became the ghost of the jungle, a figure that attacked with blood. That's when it came to him. He was no longer being that selfish kid he was back in Metro city. He was now a true hero, he was now living up to his title of Bloody Joker.

It was not soon before the villans were run out of the small town, and he himself was praised as a hero. But, he did not stay to enjoy the fruits of his labors, for he felt the wind change, and knew he was need back in Metro, something big was going down, and it was time for action.

He arrived back in Metro city three days prior to this one, a new air about him. He no longer wore the red that signified him as a terrible force, but now a lighter brown color. With this change, many had forgotten who he was, and now did not fear him for his active role in the old gang called the Royal Flush.

With great anticipation he now looked forward to the future, waiting to see what it held, for good or bad, he was ready to face it like he never had before. Head on, and with an open mind.

Metro city, once a great city of prosperity. Now loomed with the darkness of the VILLIAN Company. Seeing the old building made Tom cringe with anger. It was those people who hand changed his life forever, taken his family and home in Ireland from him. His quest would always be vengence, but first he had to save this city.

But, to do that he had to get back with SD, and now that seemed fairly hard. It seemed that SD had split only a few weeks after he had left the states, and gone on his journey. Well he knew how to find them, or at least the Royal Flush. He would contact Ace, or the ex-leader of the disabanded System Diobalica.

The hard part was, tracking the man down. After a few false leads, he decided to send out his own calling card. He began to take out a few small crime bosses, and leave his old calling card of the Joker crying blood.

"If that doesn't get his attention, nothing will."
