To those who've been reading Tales of Sol. I want you to know that while there is sex in this story. That is not is sole purpose and yes I do hope the sex sense makes you all hard and gets you off.
Sol is an adaption from my childhood favorite show Captain Planet and the Planeteers, The cartoon showed us that the world can be a better place if we took a few moments to care for it.
Tales of Sol is meant to express hope.
It is also shows how music can have an impact in our lives. While I don't know if my favorite bands 98 Degrees, Backstreet Boys or Nsync have ever read this. They saw me through some of the hardest moments of my life and offered in their own way hope. To them I say thank you.
I dedicate the Tales of Sol to all of my brothers and sisters of the US armed service past, present, and future.
I like to thank my friends who I had the privilege showing these chapters with. They helped with editing and inspiration,
John Rivera, Albert-Russ Alan Rivera-Odum, Derbe.D. Hunte Yvette Ortiz Samuel Diaz Jr for all their help in Making The Tales of Sol an enjoyable story to write.
And I have a few other names starting with the beginner of this universe James the author of Tales of a Real Dark Knight. I still hope to reconnect with you dear friend and all the rest of this series.

The Tales of Sol 38 To the Rescue
Sitting in her make believe room where everything looks so pretty but they couldn't hide the concrete walls of her cell
"Soon Jessica you will be mine, don't even think that fag can find you no one can," The Brute sneered at her through the small window in the heavy metal door.
"Fear not Jessica help is on the way," The voice spoke in her head
Jessica Simpson felt comfort in that message even though she had no idea who sent it
"A Guardian is coming," the voice gently told the frightened woman.
"What are you smiling at?" The Bastard grumbled
"I have a song playing my head it keeps me happy," Jessica lied
"I have something that will make you happy," the Brute sneered
Appearing in a dark room I arrived in my Guardian costume including my Fighting Pike, changing my sight to see in the infrared spectrum allowed me to see in the darkness. I could make out various heat signatures the compound was filled with. I could make out both men and machines. In-spite of the fact that my infrared could see these signatures. I still had to approach this with caution as I slowly moved until I felt what I thought to be a wall. As I moved along I could feel a hinge that told me I found a door. I put my hand to it feeling the cold surface I knew from my time on a Navy ship, one that would be a heavy quite possibly reinforced steel door. It was probably at least three to four feet thick. I found the door handle and tried to push and pull it open but it wouldn't budge. I pulled out my Fighting Pike holding out. I took the surrounding nitrogen gas, turning it to its sub freezing liquid form. Then directed it towards the door, freezing it solid, making the steel very brittle. Taking my fist to it shattering the reinforced steel like glass then made my way through the next room which was equally dark. But thanks to my infrared vision and other heightened senses I moved through it unhindered. I saw heat signatures. I noticed that for a mere human he had a lot of computer power.
"Halt!" I heard the computerized voice. I looked up to see the laser battery pointed at me. Chuckling to the puny weapon I simply put my hand up the laser fired "I am sorry but I believe this was meant for you," I said as it bounced off my hand and back at the battery destroying it.
"Intruder alert!" I heard the klaxon sound off then a huge slab of steel came in front of me making the ground shake when it slammed into it. I snickered, "Typical," I punched the slab once, twice, three times before the bulkhead exploded into metal shards. "Intruder has penetrated section two!" The Computer reported
"What the Hell is going on?" The Masked man growled.
Jessica smiled it won't be long now her savior has arrived soon she will be freed.
"What the Hell is happening?" The Masked Man demanded entering the command center.
"Sir we have an intruder in the compound he's managed to make his way to section 6," The subordinate reported
"That is impossible!" The Masked Man growled
"Go to level 3 defense!" The Masked Man ordered
"Aye, aye level 3," The young man complied
The screen showed indications of doors and hatches closing all over the compound.
I came up to another bulkhead and another one came down behind me sealing me in.
"Hm very predictable," I snorted
Just as I predicted the two sides began closing in on me. Holding up my Pike it made contact with both giant slabs
"I could really use the rest of my powers," I commented
'This is a military installation' my mind finally put two and two together.
"The old squeeze play, I think I can iron this out," I said as my whole body and the Pike turned to iron the bulkheads gears began to whine in protest trying to crush me. Soon the smell of burning metal filled the small compartment and two slabs came to a grinding halt.
Once the bulkheads stopped I turned to one side and brought my iron plated fist to it.
"This is really a tight space, how about I make some room," I said, punching the wall and making a hole in it.
Once through several spot lights at full intensity momentarily blinded me.
"Very impressive," I heard
"I must say I am quite impressed not many make it past that point," The man praised
"My pleasure," I smiled back with my eyes closed. I turned to the animals present in the installation to do my seeing for me. Through them I saw a man with several armed personnel surrounding him while I couldn't make out his face from the position because where the mice were looking I could make out his posture and gave me pause the way he carried himself. Only one group of people held themselves like that, the man before me a soldier.
"I don't know who you are but you are not leaving here a live," The masked man said
"Is this the way of a warrior?" I asked anger filled my voice for someone with his background to commit such a horrible crime.
"What do you know about being a warrior?" The madman responded in an indignant sneer
"I know enough to know that you are one, I am guessing Marines since they are usually the first to go crazy," I replied
knowing would stroke his ire
"Don't you dare insult a Marine you coward!" The Masked Man scolded
"I'm a coward. What kind of soldier attacks an unarmed couple?" I snapped back
"The kind that was denied his rightful woman," The Masked Marine responded
"And what have you been denied?" I asked while the mice showed me the floodlights knowing that I was going to have to take them out.
"Jessica was suppose to be my girl not some fag's!" the Masked Marine snapped
"Oh is this what this is all about you not getting into bed with a celebrity?" I inquired; the sheer thought of it made my stomach turn in on itself. This man was violating everything I held dear. I fought hard to keep the bile in my body to stay down.
"No! this is about me going to war for that whore, only for her to fall for a fag!" The Mad Marine wailed
Even with my enhanced hearing I couldn't believe my ears of all people a soldier talking like this, while we were by no means perfect we still held ourselves to very strict codes of conducts which tend to stay with us until the day we die.
"So assault two unarmed couple leaving one in the street while kidnapping the other ?" I queried sarcastically. I had to stop myself after saying it because it gave my mouth a bad taste.
"More importantly, how did you find me? No one has been able to track me?" The Marine demanded
Turning my gaze towards him looking at him as if he was a subordinate, "You hide from all but one person my soldier friend," I replied
In a deranged cackle, "Oh and I suppose that one person is God," The Marine sneered
"I stand corrected, two people and I work for both, God the father, and Earth itself," I replied
"The Earth eh and here I thought this wretched planet was dead," The Masked Marine sneered
"Oh she is very much alive, and with her help I am going to kick your honorless ass to the other side of the moon," I responded then aimed my Fighting Pike and set off several fireballs at a couple of floodlights shattering three of them electrical sparks and fire shot out and went everywhere.
"Kill the freak!" The deranged Marine ordered
Spinning my Fighting Pike at superhuman speeds blocking the hail of bullets that came my way.
"My turn," I said as I stomped my foot making the whole compound shake and forming cracks along its concrete walls. Causing them all to stumble and for fine dust particles to rain down distracting them.
"I have a very magnetic personality that can be so attractive," I raged, turning up the local magnetic field, sparks and arcs sprayed the compound as every computer and electrical equipment were fried. Waving my Fighting Pike towards me I forced all of their guns to fly my way. Holding up my hand and one gun came to me while the rest littered the floor. Taking a moment to look at the gun I was able to place it. This was a M-16 military issue assault rifle. I know it anywhere. It only confirmed what I had suspected. It tore me up inside knowing this was a deranged soldier really hit my sailor's heart hard.
"This situation is burning me up ," I said as my body burst into flames melting the guns. More soldiers came running at me "Careful soldiers, I am quite the Flamer!" I flatly said as I held up my hand. The fire around my body all came together in the palm in my hand and it lanced out causing soldiers to retreat. They must of have thought with the fire gone that I was still not volatile because they all came running at me,
Holding up my Fighting Pike, I held my place until they were on top of me, I did my best to just knock them out and cause very minor injuries. In no time at all I was standing in the middle of a pile of broken and battered, yet still alive and groaning goon squad. I was even sweating as I walked over the stooges. With them out of the way I turned my attention to my prey. He had to be stopped and by the Mother's hand I was going to do it. As I made my way deeper into the compound I encountered more defense batteries as hails of bullets came flying my way. Ducking behind a concrete support beam the bullets flew past me "I really need to get the lead out," I stated once again changing my body so that it was made of lead. Stepping out behind the pillar the bullets were still firing off but they were ricocheting off of me and right back at the defense batteries "You like lead so much here have a some," I commented as the bullets returned to their turrets each target was obliterated.
"This isn't a base, it's an obstacle course," I smiled as I chased after my prey.
As I moved through base I finally noticed that I was starting to get a little light headed. I had lost track of how much energy I was using just fighting off the compound's defenses and I was quickly draining myself.
I needed to recharge so instead of chasing my mad marine returned to the reason I came here to free Jessica.
"I need to hurry up," I told myself as I passed a corridor. I heard Jessica cry for help,and ran in the direction of those screams. I came up to another large metal door, skipping the pleasantries I grabbed hold of it, "I want in," I growled as I ripped the door from its locks and hinges and then tossed it aside. It made a resounding crushing sound as the metal door smashed into the concrete wall. I ran into the room and found Ms Simpson sitting on her fluffy bed "Ms Jessica Simpson I presume," I smirked
"That is my name," Jessica was giddy with joy
"What tacky surroundings," I noted as I took in Jessica's ultra lavish prison cell "I am sorry but this place just doesn't need your company," I stated
"Believe me I like nothing more then to bid farewell," Jessica smirked
"Then shall we bid this place adieu?" I quizzed her
"Can we?" Ms Simpson requested
"By all means," I agreed as I knelt down and took hold of her
"Before we go I like tell your guest that I don't care for these accommodations," I requested
"You can tell that brute anything," Jessica nodded
I knew I would deal with the Mad Marine later right "In this case actions will speak louder then words," I smirked, I stomped my foot down a few times making the whole base begin to shake violently as her sad looking quarters began coming apart around us "Oops! I believe this is the best time to depart," I said sarcastically with a snap of my fingers and just before it winked out I saw the whole room collapse. That was the message I wanted that bastard to know.
In a flash that dump was gone and was replaced by the well lit and a much more welcoming tranquil environment of my Holo-Room.
As the light around Jessica and I faded I was back to my normal self and Jessica was still in my arms.
"Jessica?" Nick exclaimed
Jessica turned her head around to see her beloved standing in front of us. She let go of my hand and ran into the arms of her lover. Her tears just streamed out of her eyes. Nick held Jessica tightly as if afraid she would disappear again. This happy reunion made everything I went through worth it.
Smiling at the scene before me, I went to take a step to get out of the way when I suddenly felt the holo grass tickle the left side of my face and a few blades even went up my nose. It didn't even register that I had fallen to the ground.
"Mike!" I heard Drew cry
Jeff was the first by my side. I hadn't realized how dizzy I was until Jeff picked me up and held me in his arms.
"Mike, what is wrong?" Jeff asked
"Dizzy," I told him
"You used too much didn't you?" Jeff asked
"Had no choose Jessica was held by a mad Marine in a military compound," I confessed my voice laced with revolt
"We better get you up stairs," Justin suggested
"I will be fine, I just need time to?" I started as I tried to move my knees under me only for them to slide back where they were.
"Let us help you Mike," Jake replied, coming up and taking hold of my left shoulder and Jeff took hold of my right shoulder helping me to my feet. Both Jeff and Jake carried me upstairs while Nick carried Jessica up in his arms.
Feeling a little foolish "Guys you really don't have to do this," I told them
"Mike you just save Jessica from who know what and you did it at the expense of yourself it is the least we can do," Jeff stated
I was going to miss being in his arms but I knew in my heart that this may be the last time we are this close ever again.
When we got to the living room I was put on a couch. Nick and Jessica went upstairs to the bathroom, while Drew, Justin and Jake went to the kitchen to make dinner.
We sat on my couch. It was a very awkward quiet moment between us, Jeff and I just looked at each other.
"Jeff,"
"Mike," We said at the same time
The quiet was back for what felt like an eternity.
"Jeff, we need to talk," I said, finally breaking the eerie silence.
"I know," He sighed
"Gaia had revealed," I started to say.
"That we are not meant to be," Jeff finished
The silence was back this time Jeff was the first to respond, "Mike I talked to that Spirit of Earth of yours, while you were off on your rescue mission, she told that we are not meant to be,"
"Gaia told me the same thing. I wasn't sure how to approach it with you without it looking as if I was only trying to use you," I remarked without being able to look at this beautiful man.
I finally returned my gaze to Jeff, still not knowing what to say again, when I found my voice I cried, "I am so sorry Jeff, please forgive me, I had hoped that we could do this, but I could feel it in my heart that we weren't meant to be,"
"I know you didn't I was so blinded by my own loneliness that I couldn't see that you had no interest in me outside of friendship," Jeff sighed
"No Jeff, don't think of it that way I love you very much," I said through mournful tears.
"Jeff I had no intentions to lead you on," I pleaded
"You are incapable of doing such a think which is why I am going to help you find him," Jeff replied
"What do you mean?" I asked
"I am going to help you find your soulmate," Jeff stated
"You don't have to," I told him
"You've helped me in so many ways this is the least I could do," Jeff reaffirmed
"No, the least you can do is to give me one of your trademark hugs so I can hold on to it," I told him
Jeff smiled a sad smile then we came together he kissed me on the cheek and said, "I will always love you Micheal Pennock,"
I could feel him shudder "I will miss you very much, Jeffery Timmons," I spoke from my heart. While I knew that we were both destined to be with someone else it didn't keep my heart or his from breaking.
"I don't know how I am going to find someone with your heart?" Jeff cried
"You will it is your destiny," I informed him
"That is what Gaia also told me," I heard Jeff cry on my shoulder.
The moment was interrupted "Okay you two it's time to eat," Drew plopped next to us.
I let go of Jeff then latched onto Drew. The shock on his face was there for a moment until he realized why I was hugging him.
"You and Jeff are breaking up aren't you?" He whispered in my ear.
"We are I love you guys so very much," I told him
"I hope whoever you find will treat you right," Drew told me
"Just watch after Jeff for me?" I asked him
"You got it," Drew smiled
We got up off the couch and we went into the kitchen for one last dinner together.
We all ate using the time to just sit relax and just find out more about each other while we can.
There is one more chapter with 98 Degrees the next chapters to come will see a major change both in Mike's love life and many, many more
