Issue One

**Issue One** is the first episode of the first season of Star-Forger and the first episode of the series. It features the first appearance of Star-Forger and his modes: Forger Mode and Chimaera Mode.

## Synopsis

A bounty hunter exacts his revenge. Star-Forger deals with a new threat and makes an unlikely ally.

## Plot

The episode begins with a golden warship obscuring the view of a shining chrome planet. Inside, a bounty hunter named Egos Pr'awn puts on armor and jumps out of the ship towards the planet, Kyres.

Egos smashes through the roof of a facility on the planet, and begins slaughtering the inhabitants, the Kyresian Star-Forgers with a spore rifle. The bounty hunter comes across a blue force field containing a device.

As he is about to take it, his arm is cut off by the Kyresian Grand Scientist, who tells him not to take a single step forward. The Grand Scientist is easily defeated by Egos, whose energy sword he takes and drives through the scientist's chest.

The Grand Scientist implores Egos not to take the device, as it is unstable and could rip reality into two. The Scientist then activates a voice command with his dying breath that causes the device to go to a random destination.

The device then lands on Earth, burrowing itself deep into the ground.

We cut to 6 months later, and see Star-Forger wearing the device and using it to stop a getaway car owned by the Demon Gang, he is able to absorb the kinetic energy from the moving car and even a bullet and converts it into constructs to fight the criminals.

Star-Forger, revealed to be a 17 year old named Scott Stone then heads to a diner owned by Pat Robinson. A news interview is playing in the diner about the car chase. Scott talks to Pat about the chase, who is alarmed about the city becoming more dangerous.

Scott reassures her that the man in the blue costume was just trying to help, with Pat becoming suspicious. Pat asks Scott if he has a place to stay, saying that she doesn't want him to sleep on the streets. Scott says he does.

Scott arrives at an abandoned building called Jefferson Self Storage, opening a self-storage depot and revealing a hideout inside. Scott asks his device if any unusual activity has occurred, with the device answering that a small ship has entered the Earth's atmosphere and heading for the airfield. Scott remarks that he wishes he could fly before heading there.

At the airfield, a man on a motorcycle, Matt Orlov, zooms past and bumps into his boss, who gets angry at him and tells him he's fired if he screws up the upcoming test run. Matt changes into his pilot uniform after having a conversation with his coworker, who he tells that his girlfriend recently broke up with him.

Matt then proceeds with the test run, out-flying a high-tech drone. Suddenly, time begins to freeze around him as he sees an alien ship materialize above. The engines on his plane are shut off as he begins to plummet towards the ground.

Star-Forger arrives at the airfield, absorbing the electricity from a fuse box and using it to shoot himself towards the falling jet. He rescues Matt from the crashing jet and introduces himself to him, asking him if he saw anything weird. Matt is too shaken to answer. Scott then absorbs the energy from the destroyed jet and shoots off into the air again, leaving Matt dumbstruck.

Matt is then yelled at by his boss, who never saw any alien ship or interference. He blames Matt for crashing the 60 million dollar jet and fires him.

Scott returns back to the city, with his device detecting a strange energy presence, and revealing that the ship is most likely cloaked. Scott questions where someone could hide a ship in the city, as the camera pans behind to show some sort of creature following him.

Matt is greeted with an eviction notice at his apartment, and begins to research sightings of Star-Forger. He goes back to the site of the car chase from earlier in the episode and bribes a police officer, claiming that his "nephew" has gone missing. The officer tells him that someone in a blue hoodie went towards Jefferson Self-Storage earlier in the day.

Matt arrives at the self-storage building, and is ambushed by the creature, which has a black and yellow scaly body and sharp metal pincers for legs, with no eyes and mouth. Matt slams a shelf onto the creature before decapitating it with the metal door, he then flees the building in fear.

Scott is then attacked by three of the creatures, Chimaeras, at Pat's Diner. A patron at the diner is grabbed by the second one. Scott initially hides, but decides to face the creatures.

He shuts off the power in the restaurant by absorbing the electricity from another fuse box. Star-Forger starts to fight the creatures, but quickly runs out of power to make constructs, and grabs one of the creature's by the head to defend himself. Suddenly, the creature is scanned by the Star-Forger device, his suit changing to become black and gold as pincers form on his arms. The creature is then electrocuted and rapidly decays into a husk. His device tells him that he has unlocked Chimaera Mode.

Now with increased strength, Star-Forger uses the pincers to smash one of the creatures into the kitchen and boil it in the deep fryer. He fights the last creature outside the diner, pushing it into the way of a speeding car as it is run over. He sees several civilians recording the fight on their phones as his suit turns back to normal. The police soon arrive and surround Star-Forger, who flees.

Scott sees a news report stating that Star-Forger and the creatures destroyed the diner, and that Pat is in critical condition. He angrily returns to his hideout, where he sees Matt. Scott is alarmed, with Matt telling him he should really make it harder for people to find his secret identity.

Scott tells Matt that he's leaving Cobalt City, stating that he doesn't want anyone else to get hurt. Matt tells him that this will all blow over, but he can't do it alone. He offers his help as the episode ends.
