The future, New York in the year 2069.
Sunset and Twilight walked through futuristic city, Twilight was still starstruck by all the sights and sounds of the city.
"Just look at all those company names," Twilight said, pointing at various billboards showing different companies.
These companies being: Alchemax, Wayne Powers, Volskaya Industries and Vishkar Corporation.
Along with the massive billboards the sky was filled with flying cars.
Sunset was about to say something, but interrupted as bumped into someone.
"Sorry," Sunset apologised, "I wasn't looking where I was going."
"Not a problem," the person replied, "these little things always happen."
Sunset looked to see who she was talking to and was almost lost for words.
Before her, was a robot, a humanoid robot.
"Are you ok?" the robot asked.
"I.....ar," was all Sunset could reply.
"THIS. IS. AMAZING!" Twilight squalled, "an actual living robot!"
"Is your friend OK?" the robot asked.
"She's fine," Sunset smiled, "you're the first humanoid robot she's seen."
The robot was about to reply, but was cut short as some police hovercars tore past them.
"Whats happening?" Sunset asked, "where are the police going?"
"Something about a Juggernaut impersonator, tearing up main street," the robot answered, "The Justice Force Beyond will be on their way, I'm sure of it."
"Thanks for the help," Sunset smiled, she turned to Twilight, "time to go!" she said.
"Do we have to?" Twilight asked,
Sunset nodded, and she along with Twilight headed for the location of main street.
Main Street.
"Sticks and stones will break my bones," Cain Marko a.k.a. Juggernaut smiled, as he rampaged through the city, "but tanks will never hurt me."
Juggernaut was not alone, he was accompanied by someone dressed in a strange suit with a domed helmet that obscured his face, along with him were three other figures, one was dressed like a medieval knight with a hood over his head, the second figure looked the Blue Beetle only coloured red and the last figure was Immortus.
Nearby a news crew was covering the attack, "we're live on the scene," the reporter said, "with what appears to be the Juggernaut attacking downtown, he doesn't seem to be alone, there are three other figures, one of them appears to be the leader, we have received word that the Justice Force Beyond are on their way to deal with the situation."
As the reporter finished, the Justice Force Beyond flew overhead and touched down in front of villains.
A large crowd, which had formed nearby, erupted into cheers and applauses.
"Those are the ones we're here to save," Sunset said, as she and Twilight made their way to the front of the crowd.
The Justice Force Beyond Members that had arrived, were: Iron man 2099, WarHawk, Spiderman 2099, Batman Beyond, Big Barda and Hercules.
"Relax everyone," Miguel O'Hara a.k.a. Spider man 2099 declared, "the Justice Force Beyond is here."
"I do you have to call us that?" Rex Stewart, the son of Green Lantern John Stewart and Hawk Girl Kendra Saunders, a.k.a. Warhawk groaned.
"Focus, guys" Terry McGinnis a.k.a. Batman Beyond stated, "We can worry about team names, later."
"Agreed," Hercules smiled, "why waste time using our minds when we should be using our fists."
"Hercules is right," nodded Big Barda, "we need take these guys down before anyone gets hurt."
"Right," Sonny Frisco a.k.a. Iron man 2099 replied, "let's do this."
Juggernaut laughed, "You all think you can beat me?" he asked, "Do you know who I am?"
The hooded knight stepped forward, "I am the black void," he said, "I am the cold steel," the figure unsheathed his sword, "I am he who cleanses this fallen world with Ebony blade in hand," the figure readied himself, "I am Bloodwraith," the figure finished.
"Do you have to give that speech ever single time?" the figure in the yellow suit groaned.
"I trust you all can accomplish our mission?" Immortus smiled.
"Oh, yeah," Juggernaut smiled.
"The end has come!" Bloodwraith cried.
"This is going to be fun," the figure in the yellow suit smiled, yellow energy surrounding his hands.
"I'm gonna enjoy this," the red coloured Blue Beetle lookalike nodded, two powerful looking energy blasters appearing on his hands.
With that, the heroes of the future engaged the villains.
Iron man 2099 and Spider man 2099 clashed with the red coloured Blue Beetle.
Big Barda crossed her weapon, a Mega-rod, with Bloodwraith's Ebony blade.
Hercules and the Juggernaut traded blows with each others.
And lastly, Batman Beyond alongside Warhawk tried to attack the figure in the yellow suit, who went by the name Mano.
Batman Beyond hurled batarang after batarang at Mano, who simply grabbed the projectiles and reduced them to dust.
Warhawk charged at Mano, slashing at the villains with his talons.
Mano tried to disintegrate Warhawk's armour, but as the armour was made of Nth metal Mano's powers had no effect on the armour.
"Finally," Hercules declared, "someone who can last more than minute against me."
"I would have expected more a challenge from the god of strength," Juggernaut smirked.
"Big Barda, the former fury," Bloodwraith said, as he and Big Barda crossed weapons with each other, "you are a worthy opponent, indeed."
"You know nothing about me," Big Barda cried, as she blocked Bloodwraith's Ebony blade with her Mega-rod.
Finally, Iron man 2099 and Spiderman 2099 dodged blasts from the red coloured Blue Beetle, going by the name Scarlet Scarab.
"Your amour is no match for the power of the scarab," Scarlet Scarab laughed, blasting Iron man 2099 with energy blasters and versus other projectile weapons.
Seeing Iron man 2099 was beginning to tire, Scarlet Scarab readied another energy bombardment.
But before, Scarlet Scarab could attack he was ensnared by webbing from Spiderman 2099.
"You really need to watch your blindspots," Spiderman 2099 commented.
"Your funny," Scarlet Scarab smiled.
A buzz saw appeared on the Scarlet Scarab's hand, which he used cut himself free from the webbing.
"I think we're in trouble," Spiderman 2099 said, with a slightly worried tone in his voice.
"I might have agree with you, there," Batman Beyond replied.
Warhawk nodded, "anytime you wanna join the party," he said, speaking in his communicator.
A shortly after, a voice answered, "sorry I'm late guys."
The voice belonged to none than Clark Kent a.k.a. Superman who had just arrived on the scene.
"Lo the Man of Steel," Bloodwraith said.
"Finally," Mano remarked.
"I was wondering when you'd show up," Juggernaut smirked.
"I second that," Scarlet Scarab grinned.
Superman stared the villains down.
"I don't know how or why you're here," he said, "but if you want to hurt innocent people, then you have to go through me."
The Juggernaut advanced on Superman.
"You must have a death wish," he declared, creaking his knuckles, "You of all people should know, nothing. Stops. THE JUGGERNAUT!"
With that, the Juggernaut charged at Superman.
Superman himself charged at the Juggernaut as he rocketed towards him.
Half a second later, the two collided.
The every earth beneath them shook as the two traded punches.
The other members of the Justice Force Beyond tried to help, but unfortunately, they were occupied fighting the other villains.
All this was happening, while Immortus looked on, "Any minute now," he murmured to himself.
Back with Superman, his fight with Juggernaut seemed to going in his favour.
"Your good," Juggernaut smirked, "but times running out on ya."
"What the heck are you talking about?" Superman replied.
He throw another punch at Juggernaut, only for the punch to do nothing.
"What the?" Superman asked.
He throw another punch at Juggernaut, which yielded the same result.
With a powerful punch, Juggernaut sent Superman flying into a nearby building.
As the hero dug himself out of the rumble of the destroyed building he noticed that he had began to turn incorporeal.
"whats happening me?" Superman queried, as he quickly returned to being corporeal.
"Time is catching up with you, kryptonian," Immortus smiled, as he and the Juggernaut stood over the weakened hero.
From the sidelines, Sunset turned to Twilight.
"I think it's time we join the fight," Sunset said.
"Right," Twilight nodded.
Without another word, the two girls leaped into the fray.
Using her ring, Sunset released a burst of bright white light, which blinded Immortus and the juggernaut.
Before Mano, Scarlet Scarab or Bloodwraith could rush to their comrades aid, Twilight hit all three of the villains with a powerful blast from her ring.
"Go!" Sunset cried, "get Superman outta here!."
"Got it," Batman Beyond nodded, "follow us."
With that, Spiderman 2099 swept Superman, with his webbing, and the rest of the heroes along with the girls hightailed it.
"I don't like retreating," Warhawk said, reluctantly.
"Another second there and we'd history," Iron man 2099 replied, as they continued their escape.
The city backstreets.
"Right," Sunset said, "I think thats far enough."
"OK," Warhawk demanded, "I have a lot of questions and you two better start answering them."
"Warhawk is right," Big Barada agreed, "who are you and why do you look like Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer?"
"It must be androids or clone imposters," Spiderman 2099 suggested.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Twilight said, trying to defuse the tension, "we can explain."
"Please," Batman Beyond stated, "we're all ears."
Sunset and Twilight began to explain the reason they had come to 2069, all the while reassuring the heroes that they were indeed the real deal.
"I'm still having a hard believing your story," Batman Beyond said, "but coming from legends like you I'll let it slide."
Before anyone could continue, Twilight spoke up, "Do you think we could discuss this somewhere else?"
"Good idea," Iron man 2099 nodded.
The Justice Force Beyond's base of operations, The Watchtower.
Sunset and Twilight were re-explaining their mission to the rest of the Justice Force Beyond, these being: Roberta Mendez a.k.a. Captain America 2099, Micron, Max a.k.a. Hawkeye 2099, Kai-Ro a.k.a. Green Lantern, Tania a.k.a. Black Widow 2099, Mareena a.k.a. Aquagirl, Danica Williams a.k.a. The Flash and Vergil Hawkins a.k.a. Static.
"And that's why we came," Sunset finished.
"Interesting," Captain America 2099 said.
"You said before," Sunset interjected, "that we were legends."
"Yeah," Static nodded, "you and your kids are......"
"Save it, Static," Micron interrupted.
"What?" Static retorted.
"They aren't suppose to know about their own futures," Micron replied.
"Agreed," Green lantern nodded, "I think we need to focus on the more pressing issue."
"Right," Black Widow 2099 acknowledged, she turned to Flash.
"Have you worked out what's happening to Superman," she asked.
"Some what," Flash answered, "and even I don't believe it."
"What do you mean?" Hawkeye 2099 inquired.
"It's like he's here, but at the same time, not here," Flash replied, "I can't understand it."
"How does that begin to make sense?" exclaimed Aquagirl
"That's because Superman has become a paradox," a voice answered.
Everyone turned to see a figure, wearing iron man-like armour, standing in the room.
"Who are you?" Warhawk asked, "how'd you get in here?"
"That doesn't matter," the figure replied, "right now, you all need to listen to me."
"Forgive us, if we don't believe you," Green Lantern said, "but we don't trust people," he snapped his fingers, "just like that."
"If you want to save Superman you will all listen to me," the figure answered, urgency building in his voice.
"I think we should hear him out," Sunset interrupted.
"Are you crazy?" Warhawk asked, "We don't know who this guy is."
"Just because he's wearing armour doesn't mean he's on our side," added Spiderman 2099.
"We can worry about my identity later," the figure responded, "if you let me help I can slow down the effects of time flow on Superman."
"What do you mean?" Captain America 2099 asked.
"Across time and space all incarnations of Superman are being erased from the fabric of history," the figure replied, grimly, "so if you want to save this Superman you all will listen to me," he repeated.
There was a long pause, then finally one of the heroes spoke up.
"If we listen to you," Iron man 2099 said, "can you slow down whats happening to Superman?"
"You have my word," the figure responded.
Without another word, the figure headed for the medical bay, with Twilight and Spiderman 2099 following behind.
"In the meantime," Captain America 2099 stated, "the rest of us will try and contain the villains so they don't cause more harm."
"Roger," the other members of the Justice Force Beyond along with Sunset answered.
With that, Sunset Shimmer and the rest of the Justice Force Beyond exited the HQ.
Meanwhile, on the way to the medical bay.
"I've been meaning to ask," Twilight said, as she and Spiderman 2099 walked through the many corridors of the HQ, "why do some of you have 2099 in your names? the years 2069 not 2099."
"The year is 2069," Spiderman 2099 replied, "but 2069 doesn't have the same ring to it as 2099 does."
"Oh," Twilight nodded.
Shortly, the two arrived at the medical bay.
Superman lay on a futuristic hospital bed, next to him the figure had already began building small strange device.
"So what exactly is this thing that can slow Superman's removal from time?" Spiderman 2099 inquired.
"I'm constructing a chronal blocker," the figure replied, "that will counter the effect of the paradox."
After a few more minutes of tinkering the figure produced a wristband-looking device, which he placed on Superman's wrist.
The second the device was attached to him, Superman returned to corporeal form.
"Is he going to be OK?" Twilight asked.
"He'll wake up with a little headache," the figure smiled.
The figure was saved from saying anything else, as Superman groaned and began to regain consciousness.
"Take is easy," the figure said, helping Superman to feet, "the effects of time flow my have affected the amount of solar energy in your body."
"Thanks," Superman answered, "but who are you?"
"That's not important," the figure replied, "right now we....."
Before the figure could continue a voice interrupted, "I don't to mean to ruin the moment," the voice said, "but the teams in trouble."
"Where are they, LYla?" Spiderman 2099 asked, revealing the source of the voice, a holographic Marilyn Monroe looking woman, projected from a device on his wrist.
"Oh. My. Gosh." Twilight squalled, "first living robots and holographic A.I."
"The abandon warehouse district," LYla (LYrate Lifeform Approximation) replied.
"First things first," the figure said, turning to Superman.
From his armour he produced, what looked like, a small touch coloured blue, "we need to get you back to full power quickly," he continued, shining the touches blue beam on Superman.
"What did you do?" Twilight asked.
"Blue sun ration projector," the figure replied, putting the touch away.
"Right," Superman nodded, "let's go."
Without another word, Superman and Spiderman 2099 left the medical bay.
"You should go with them," the figure said, seeing that Twilight was still in the room.
"What about you?" Twilight asked, "can't you help?"
"I've done what I can," the figure said, "it's time for me to go."
"Just tell me something," Twilight retorted, "who are you? Really"
"I'm just a concerned friend," the figure responded.
Before Twilight could pursue the figure's identity any further, he activated something in his armour and vanished.
Twilight left the room, the figure's identity still on her mind.
Abandon warehouse district.
"Stand your ground, everyone," Big Barda said, as she, Sunset Shimmer and the rest of the Justice Force Beyond tried their best to try and contain the villains.
"A valiant effect," Immortus smirked, "but to no avail."
He nodded to Juggernaut, "Mr. Marko if you would."
"It'll be my pleasure," Juggernaut smiled, cracking his knuckles as he advanced on the heroes.
"Come on," Sunset urged, "we have to get back up."
"I would say it was nice knowing," Scarlet Scarab remarked, readying some giant blasters "but I'd be lying."
"If I'm going down," Warhawk growled, as he and Sunset got to their feet, "I'm going down fighting."
"I am the black void," Bloodwraith said, as he and Mano prepared themselves "I am just sword, with Ebony blade in hand shall I reap the sins of this world and cleanse it in the fires of destruction, I am Bloodwraith."
Sunset and Warhawk stood their ground, waiting for the attacks to come.
"The end has come!" Bloodwraith cried, charging forward, sword in hand.
But, before Bloodwraith's sword could touch them, Superman flew in, blocking the attack.
"What?" Bloodwraith exclaimed.
"Impossible," Immortus growled.
"Yep," Superman smiled, "I'm back."
Right after Superman had said that, Spiderman 2099 and Twilight landed alongside him.
"And now," Superman continued, "it's time to dish out some justice."
"Good to have you back," Sunset said, happy to see Superman back on his feet.
"Agreed," Warhawk nodded.
"Superman or no," Mano declared, "the four you aren't enough to beat us."
"Oh, really?" Twilight asked, as the other members of the Justice Force Beyond joined the four of them.
"You might want to check again," Sunset finished.
The villains growled with anger, they know they were outmatched.
"I think it is time we made our exit," Immortus said, reluctantly.
"Urr," Juggernaut groaned, "this was just getting fun."
"I will not run from a battle," Bloodwraith stated.
"I second that," Scarlet Scarab nodded.
"Me too," Mano nodded.
"It's retreat or face defeat," Immortus replied.
"Fine," Juggernaut agreed.
"Until next time heroes," Immortus smiled.
And with that, the villains disappeared.
"Looks like we sent them running," Batman Beyond declared.
"We sure showed them," Hercules cheered.
"And now that you guys are safe," Sunset said, "it's time me and Twilight were going too."
"Do we have too?" Twilight asked, "I haven't even seen what other wonders this era holds."
"Sorry, Twilight" Sunset replied, "but we have to get back to the Waverider, the others are probably waiting for us."
"Alright," Twilight conceded.
With Twilight and Sunset activated their recall devices and disappeared back to the Waverider.
"Well," Iron man 2099 said, after a while, "this is not the strangest thing that's happen to us."
"This day has certainly been strange," Green Lantern agreed.
"I'm surprised we don't have a list of strange things that have happened to us," Hawkeye 2099 added.
