An unknown amount of time has passed since the Superior Six fought Dark Red, but since then, they have been fighting crime to protect the city of Montreal. They all thought that Dark Red was gone forever, but then, one day... on a strange dark moon:
There was something falling from the sky, and it landed in a fiery blaze. Once the smoke from the impact disappeared, it turned out to be Dark Red, who was now all alone and powerless. He had black limbs, a dark silver chest piece and helmet, and glowing red eyes.
Dark Red looked at his surroundings, confused about where he was. The only things around him were white and grey mountains, with a sky shifting between red and black. He screamed in anger and annoyance, "Damn those miserable heroes! I was SO close to getting the blue core, and because of them, I LOST EVERYTHING!"
He started walking around, trying to find shelter when he found a cave. "I especially can't believe I was defeated once again by that stupid portal robot! I swear if I see one more thing get in my way, I'll-"
Suddenly, out of the cave came a monstrous beast with four arms, armour and long claws. It had glowing red eyes on the side of its head, and had horns like mammoth tusks. It had a hunchback and backwards knees. It approached Dark Red and sniffed him.
"BOW TO ME, MY NEW SERVANT!" Dark Red told the beast and pointed at it.
The beast roared at Dark Red and made him jump back. As the beast approached him, Dark Red pulled out his staff and arm cannon. The beast jumped on him, but Dark Red escaped its grasp by stabbing it in its upper left arm. After many clawing and slashes, the two of them were in an arm lock, "Enough of this!" Dark Red said as the beast roared in his face. He charged up a punch and sent the beast flying into the side of a giant rock, defeating it. As it got up, Dark Red pointed the blade side of his staff at it.
"Now do you understand the true meaning of our differences?" Dark Red asked.
"Yes...my new master," The beast answered in a quite snake voice.
"Good!" Dark Red said, and then asked, "Now, do you or anyone else around here know anything about portals?"
The beast nodded yes.
"Then I'm gonna need your help getting back to the planet, Earth in order to fulfil my destiny!" Dark Red told, "Are there more creatures like you here?"
The beast nodded yes again.
"In that case," Dark Red said, "assemble an army of them! I'm going to need new minions to do my bidding!"
"Yes...my new master," The beast answered, followed by a loud roar to call the rest of its pack.
Dark Red turned around and saw many of them coming his way, "A whole army of beasts! YES! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Back on Earth, it was a dark and starry night in Downtown Montreal, but there was a motorcycle chase happening on the highway. There was a rebellious robot with a fire themed doom-cycle. It was being followed by non other than Jornova, who full robot body of silver armour with blue limbs. He had one glowing eye that changed colours based on his current emotions. He has the ability to open portals. He was riding in his own motorcycle giving chase.
"Pull the doom-cycle over!" Jornova demanded as he got closer.
"No!" The rebel robot said.
Jornova's motorcycle got closer, "You will!"
The rebel robot drove faster and turned around. Jornova summoned a portal wall to stop it.
"What, how did you do that?!" the rebel robot asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Jornova said as he stoped his motorcycle. "It's just a natural thing that I've had for a while."
"You arrogant robot!" the rebel robot said, "I'll show you a thing or two!"
It drove fast past Jornova, causing him to fall of of his motorcycle, "Now YOU are the one who's pulled over," he charged at Jornova with his doom-cycle to run him over.
"Hold it right there!" said an unfamiliar voice. It shot a red beam at the robot, causing it to freeze in place.
"Phew," Jornova got up and summoned a portal in front of the robot. When the effect wore off and the doom-cycle drove into the portal, it fell and crashed into the top of a building.
Jornova turned around and saw 3 robots that looked like him. One of them had armour similar to Jornova, but his colour scheme was gold and navy blue. Another had green and grey armour that seemed to look like it were made out of rocks, vines, and tree roots. The last one had silver chest armour, but the rest of his armour was white and his helmet had wings on top.
"Thanks for saving me," Jornova said, "Who are you three?"
"We meet again, Jornova," The gold and navy blue robot said.
"What?" Jornova asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Don't you remember us, brother?" The white robot asked.
"We have served and fought by your side for thousands of years," the grean and grey one said, "right Jornova?"
Jornova started to loose trust in them, "I see what you're trying to do."
"Do what?" the three of them asked.
"You're trying to trick me into doing a news interview, AND I HATE BEING IN THE NEWS!" Jornova said.
"What?!" the white robot freaked out.
"No, that's not it at all!" the gold and navy blue robot said.
"Don't lie," Jornova told them, "You guys must have seen me and the Superior Six defeat Dark Red a while back, and want to know what I've been doing since then. And that is not happening!"
"Guys," the green and grey robot whispered, "I don't think he remembers us."
"He must of lost his memory chip when we sent his helmet into that portal," the gold and navy blue robot guessed.
"What are you guys talking about?" Jornova asked, "And why do you three look exactly like me?"
"Because... we ARE YOU, Jornova!" the gold and navy blue robot answered.
"No, you're not!" all four of them said at the same time, causing Jornova to gasp.
"I knew you were gonna say that," the gold and navy blue robot told him.
"No, you didn't!" all four of them said at the same time again, making Jornova gasp again.
"And I knew you were going to say THAT!" the gold and navy blue robot told him, "See, you are not so different more than I am you."
"It's you and I!" all four of them said at the same time AGAIN, and Jornova just gave up and believed it.
"Perhaps you have lost your memory chip," the gold and navy blue robot said.
"What's a memory chip?" Jornova asked.
"It's the source of your true memory," the green and grey one answered.
"So, does that mean I was never human all this time?" Jornova asked.
"I'm afraid not," the gold and navy blue robot answered.
"The Illusionist didn't tell me that part of the story," Jornova said.
"Oh, I know him!" the white robot said, "He's a funny superhero who-"
"-Got locked up in a holding facility by police forces," the green and grey robot cut in, "Their nuts doing that to him!"
"You all saw that in the past," Jornova said, "If you guys really are me from the future, you must be stuck in this time period."
"Now you're getting it," the white robot said.
"Well I still have no memory of what happened many decades ago," Jornova reminded them.
"No need to worry about that," the gold and navy blue robot told, "Now that were all together, we can begin the quest for your memory chip."
"Well, since you guys know Illusionist too, then I'll trust you guys," Jornova said, "But first, I wanna know you're names."
"Good call!" the gold and navy blue robot said, "Let us introduce ourselves." He pointed to the green and grey one, "THIS is Treenova: controller of order. He can move the balance of nature." He pointed to the white one, "And THIS is Skynova: controller of space. He has the power to change gravity. Finally, there's me. I am Technova: controller of time. I have many different ways to do so, including moving forward and backwards in time, speeding up time, slowing down time. Speaking of time, we must get going before your memory chip ends up in the wrong hands."
The robots held hands and Technova yelled, "FAST FORWARD!"
They end up inside the remains of a destroyed castle surrounded by dark clouds. At the center of the room was Jornova's memory chip on top of a pedestal.
"Whoa," Jornova said, "Is that it?"
"Yup, it's all yours," Technova told him, "Go get it."
"Ok," Jornova responded as he walked towards his memory chip. But as he was about to grab it, a beast showed up and crushed the other three.
Jornova turned around, "Guys?!"
A shadowy figure swiped Jornova's memory chip, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"That laugh..." Jornova thought before something attacked him from behind, deactivating him in the process.
An uncertain amount of time later:
Jornova's systems were finally turning back on, and as he woke up he found himself and the rest of the team inside a prison cell.
"Where are we guys?" He asked.
"Jornova, you're finally awake!" Technova said.
"To answer your question, we are trapped inside a mysterious space ship," Skynova answered.
"And this is a bad place for us to remain," Treenova added.
"Why is that?" Jornova asked.
Before anyone could answer, the sound of echoing footsteps caught their attention. They saw someone walking towards them, it was Dark Red rocking some new jet black armour. Jornova was in complete shock.
"Hello...portal bot," Dark Red said, "remember me?"
Jornova began to stutter, "D...D..D.D.D.D...D..D.D..Dark Red!?"
"That's right, it's me!" Dark Red answered, "Like my upgrade? It seems you've gotten a bit of an upgrade yourself, I see."
"Yeah, so what!" Jornova responded with slight embarrassment, "Anyways, how are you here? Elec-teen and The Shadow helped me defeat you and send you to the unknown!"
"Well, you did," Dark Red answered, "but that's not where the story ends. After you and your stupid human friends defeated me, I was trapped on a strange planet in another dimension until I was able to create portals of my own. Thanks to you, I have something even more powerful to back me up on my attack!"
"And that would be?" Jornova asked.
"Them!" Dark Red answered as a bunch of beasts appeared behind him.
"OH NO, NOT THE BEASTS!" Jornova said with fright, "You've got them under your control!?"
"That's right," Dark Red answered.
"Well, I won't let you get back to Earth!" Jornova told him as he was about to teleport out of the cell. But when he tried to open a portal, nothing happened.
"Jornova, what's wrong?" Treenova asked.
"It's not working!" Jornova answered, "Someone must have-"
"Took your powers while you were asleep? Because that is exactly what happened," Dark Red cut him off.
"That's not cool, Dark Red!" Jornova told him.
"Oh, well I'm afraid it is for me," Dark Red told him back, "Because I'm going to use your powers to steal the blue core TODAY!"
Dark Red walked away laughing maniacally, while Jornova was banging on the bars.
"Grrrr...He got away!" Jornova said angrily, "We have to get out of here ASAP!"
"These bars are too strong for my gravity powers, it's no use," Skynova said.
"And I can't control time in this state either," Technova said.
"But we need help!" Jornova said. Suddenly, there was a familiar laugh echoing in the room.
"That laugh...could it be?!" Jornova wondered.
"Yeah, I think it is," Technova followed.
A hologram of a man appeared in front of them. It was of The Illusionist, "Surprise!"
"THE ILLUSIONIST!" the four robots cheered.
"Hello Jornova," The Illusionist said, "I see you've gotten yourself in a bit of a sticky situation."
"Tell me about it," Jornova said, "'Dork Red' took my powers and is going to use them to recreate his old scheme."
"Ha, good one, 'Dork Red'!" Illusionist chucked at the pun.
"Why are you here?" Treenova asked.
"I'm here to get you guys out of here," Illusionist answered.
"But you're a hologram," Skynova questioned.
"But this more than just any hologram," Jornova explained, "He can use his tricks to turn me back into my regular self again."
"That's right," Illusionist said, "Now stand back while I break the bars."
They did so and The Illusionist used his magic to get rid of the bars, "Open Sesame! Good luck out there, you're gonna need it!"
"Excellent!" Technova said.
"Now let's go get my powers and my memory chip back!" Jornova said as the team ran as fast as they could.
