Street Sharks Reborn - Prologue
By

Super Maximum Security Federal Containment Facility Colorado summer 2014, morning
Doctor Luther Paradigm received few visitors during the latter years of his seventeen yearlong confinement. Early on things had been different a parade of reports had surged into the prison on a daily basis. The various news outlets they'd represented clamoring to produce the definitive story based upon Paradigm's twisted career. The end result being a cheaply made movie of the week followed by a series of books each with a more sensational title than the last. However once the public's interest in his notorious doings had faded the gravy train dried up along with it. Outside of a few nut jobs who admired the anthromorphic form no one bothered with the hybrid human/iguana scientist these days.
Dr. Paradigm yawned rolling over in his bunk. Scratching his scaly belly the aging mutant glanced at the wall calendar with his one good eye. Today was August 17th 2014. Another tedious day in a sea on boredom Dr. Paradigm thought. Slowly getting out of bed he did his morning business using the specially designed facilities in the twelve by six ft. plastic enclosure. Due to the supposed threat level he and the other facility inmates, most of who were his creations, posed they were confined to their respective single occupancy cells twenty-three out of twenty-four hours a day. Washing up he retrieved the plastic tray from the door slot and ate his government approved breakfast; oatmeal, yogurt and orange juice again, yuck! Afterwards he sat down on the bolted down chair, the only piece of furniture he was allowed in his cell. He then spent the morning reading a terribly outdated issue of Popular Mechanics. Magazines were one of the few pieces of reading material permitted by his handlers. Nearly all books, especially hardcovers, were not allowed because they could be used as potential weapons.
Dr. Paradigm had finished the magazine. He was about to start eating lunch when the wall of the prison cell block exploded inward. A klaxon sounded. A group of heavily armed and armored guards converged on the position. They were swept aside like dry leaves before an autumn wind by an intense stream of super-hot green plasma. The searing substances roasted the guards alive within their riot gear turning the floor of the corridor into a boiling, gray river. Dr. Paradigm couldn't believe what he was seeing. What was happening? Someone was obviously attacking the facility, but why?
In floated an orange and yellowed armored person, or at least Dr. Paradigm thought it was a person it could be an android for all he knew, wearing a long red cape. The strange new arrival turned it's neon green eyes on Dr. Paradigm. Holding up it's left hand it shot out another smaller stream of green plasma which melted a large hole in his cell.
"Dr. Luther Paradigm I am Ultranova. I have come to free you from captivity," the being said.
Requiring no further invitation Dr. Paradigm took Ultranova's outstretched right hand. The pair vanished in a swirl of green light. They materialized in a dark, dusty room less than a minute later.
"Where have you taken me?" Dr. Paradigm asked surveying his surroundings. The room was spacious though apparently disused for some time. White sheets covered everything.
"A secret government storage facility that contains the remnants of your various electronic experiments," Ultranova answered. "I've brought you here because of my inability to overcome your old adversaries, the Street Sharks." Ultranova stated pre-empting the old geneticist's next question.
"You're wasting your time." Dr. Paradigm said shaking his head sadly. "I could never defeat them. Seeking my assistance is futile."
"In your current state yes, however I seek the aid of your past self." Ultranova explained pulling the sheet off a large machine. "Behold your second incomplete, Time Slammer. The Federal Government salvaged it along with the rest of your partially constructed inventions following your final capture by the Secret Service. Once you get it working Dr. Paradigm we'll go back in time. We'll give your younger self all the information he needs to eliminate the Bolton Boys before they ever become Street Sharks. How do you like my plan?"
"I simply adore it." Dr. Paradigm said clasping his hands together.
Fission City Summer 1994
"Who are you two?" A startled Dr. Paradigm who was preparing for his upcoming confrontation with Dr. Robert Bolton asked the freshly materialized Iguana Dr. Paradigm and Ultranova.
"Listen carefully Luther." Iguana Dr. Paradigm said. "We are from the future. We are here to warn you. Dr. Bolton's sons will des…."
Suddenly the Time Slammer started sparking. "What is happening?" Ultranova demanded.
"You fool." Iguana Dr. Paradigm said looking at the Time Slammer. "I feared the parts you provided me where substandard not to mention the plutonium!" The Time Slammer started to fade away turning back towards his past self Iguana Dr. Paradigm threw a note before vanishing. "Invest heavily in Microsoft, do it today then tell your broker to fellow the detailed instructions I have given you."
Fission City Summer 1994 the next day, afternoon
Dr. Paradigm and his Seaviates, Slobster and Slash, are battling the Street Sharks. The battle suite wearing Dr. Paradigm has just been gene slammed with unstable piranha DNA, when Iguana Dr. Paradigm and Ultranova appear along with the Time Slammer in a multicolored light. The brawling mutants were temporarily stunned.
"Dr. Paradigm listen to me. please." Iguana Dr. Paradigm said gesturing towards his past self.
Dr. Paradigm swatted Iguana Dr. Paradigm out of his way. "Follow me you lame brains!" Dr. Paradigm ordered his Seaviates ran towards the machine the Street Sharks followed.
Ultranova activated the machine desperate to escape the group, but it was too late. Ultranova, Dr. Paradigm & his first two Seaviates along with the Street Sharks were sent spiraling into the future. The instant they arrived the machine exploded the group barely having time to take cover before it did so.
