The four teens came out of the time portal but didn't see Rufus 3000.

"You know where Rufus 3000 went?" Penny asked as she noticed.

"When you mentioned it, yeah, where is he?"

The teen looked for the future version of the mole rat in the city, which was bleak and had dark clouds surrounding the buildings.

'This is not like what the future was like last time I was here," Ben said.

"Wait, you've time traveled?" Penny said.

"Yeah, the Gwen of that time took me and Gwen of my time to the future to make sure that I don't become a big jerk towards my family. In retrospect, it seemed lonely compared to what I have now. An awesome partner like Rook, Gwen, Kevin, and Buzz, great friends like you and Danny, and the greatest girlfriend ever," Ben told them with a smile.

Kim wrapped her arms around his and placed a peck on his cheek. " Ah, you're so sweet, my yellow trout," Kim told him.

"Uh, thanks, my blue fox," Ben said as he kissed her back.

As they finish their kiss, the teens are captured by these roundish drones with two robotic arms and three robotic claws. It had two sail-like wings on its back, allowing it to hover . In the palms of their hands were tentacles that wrapped around the four teens' bodies, and they could not move.

"you are in violation of civil ordinances 90876483021334574321 612395695749673 and 2," the robot droned out

"Expressing illegal individuality with contraband clothing powered individuals failing to comply with mandatory conscription into the Great one and verbal pollution by comparing the Great one to the incompetent Blue Buffoon Drew Lipsky."

"Drakken getting called a buffoon. That's ironic," Kim couldn't help but say

"All lawbreakers will be taken to the where you will be processed with obedience collars before being sent to the front lines of the Martian conquest or to the mines where you will carry out your life sentence."

"Don't we get a trial first?" Penny asked.

"No," the robot answered before flying off with the four teens.

"Uh, Danny, now would be time to phase us out of here," Ben whispered.

"I would if I could, but I can't! It's like these chains are canceling out my powers!" Danny struggled to phase out of the chains.

"If I can only reach my Omnitrix, I could turn Upgrade or Juryrig to get us out of here," Ben tried to wiggle around to activate the Omnitrix.

As the teens struggle to get their freedom, the drone robots Bring them to Middleton High School; however, it looks more like a prison than a school.

"Great, I feel like I'm in Walker's Prison again, but the prison is now a teenager's worst nightmare," Danny mumbled as they took them to the high school.

The drone went into the rooms to drop the teens into Desks which cuffed them. In the room with them were other people dressed in Shego's signature outfits, like prisoners' uniforms .

As the desks moved like an assembly line Danny and Penny gasped at who was at the controls, the Gross Sisters.

"Nubia, Gina, Olei. what are you three doing here?" Penny asked.

"We're here to send ya lawbreakers to jail because you'll not follow the rules. So you'll be sent to prison," Nubia said as she sent seven people to the prison beside Penny and her group. She took a look at the Proud girl.

"Dang, Prouds got some good genes. You don't look like your daddy at all." Nubia was impressed

"My daddy? What are you talking about?" Penny asked.

"What are you, an idiot or something? Your daddy, you know, Danny Phantom, the mutie who scares folks thinking he's a ghost."

'Of course, she still believes that, ' Danny thought, annoyed that conspiracy theorists on the internet had made up all kinds of crazy things about him instead of just believing in ghosts."

Most of them were just used to spread their prejudice either about aliens, mutants, or other people.

Just about the only theory that wasn't somehow a slur was that many people thought he was Dick Grayson's twin brother, and they'd been separated at birth. 'Seriously, where did that idea come from.'

"I'll cut you a deal, baby mutie. Tell me where your folks are, and you can spend the rest of your days scrubbing dishes in a barracks somewhere instead of as target practice for the Martians."

"What? You're not going to ask me for the money in my pockets."

Nubia laughs. "The gross sisters don't, Jack, anymore. We are on the great one's payroll," she laughed. "Now tell me where Danny Fenton and his wife are."

Nubia's finger was reaching for the button. "Fine, have fun on Mars, Fenton."

Danny Kim and Ben struggled to get free to help Penny when the wall was blown in. Stepping through was Rufus 3000 with a guy in a high-tech Batman suit without the cape. The new Batman threw a Batarang knocking the remote out of Nubia's hand.

Gina and Olei ran at the Batman, but their shadows rose before they could get close, wrapping around them like strait jackets. "Not happening, Gross sisters."

A familiar-looking woman dressed like a Black cat but with white spots on the costume grinned.

Rufus 3000 leaped forward, punching Nubia in the face and knocking her out before he ripped off the cuffs of Kim and the others. "What took you so long."

"Apologies, the portal somehow malfunctioned. It would help if you had appeared in our base," Rufus 3000 explained. "We don't know what happened."

"Come on, Rufus 3000, and we've got to go before the clankers show up," Black Cat girl said. Rufus 3000 nodded before the four followed him to a jet. "Go, go, go," Batman shouted.

The naked mole rat pilot took off flying when they were all on board. With the push off a button, the jet turned invisible Batman, and Black Cat smiled.

"Hey, sis, it's been a long time."

"Twenty years long," Black Cat added, obviously smiling. "Daddy wasn't too happy with you and broke curfew with Danny."

Penny looked between the two, a look of disbelief appearing on her face. "No way," she said. "Bebe, Cece"

Wait really?

Batman and Black Cat removed their masks, showing a much older version of Penny's brother and sister.

"We've got a lot of catching up to do sis."

Once they landed in an underground hangar, Danny and the others hopped out of the jet after the adult versions of Bebe and Cece. Man, that was a weird thing to wrap his head around, especially when they were dressed like a sci-fi Batman and a Black Cat look alike

"So what's with the costumes," Penny asked, making conversation

"Not much to tell, sis. The old Batman was getting older and slower. He trained me when he died. I took up his mantle," Bebe said

"He was your mentor, and he never told you his actual name," Kim asked

"I know you don't. I'm respecting the old man's privacy," Bebe answered bluntly, crossing his arms. "Not everyone wants their name plastered on the news and the internet."

"I can relate. I wish I had my secret identity back," Ben agreed. "What about you-" Ben paused, looking at Cece, not knowing her name

"Cece," she answered, "my mentor was Black Cat-" Cece stopped looking upset before she shook her head. "To keep it out of Shegos hands, Felicia gave me the Black Panther Miraculous."

Cece tapped the jewelry in question.

"Sorry for your loss," Kim said sincerely.

While Danny processed the name, connecting the dots, "Wait, Felicia, as in Felicia Hardy, she's Black Cat" Danny slapped his forehead, remembering the first time he'd met Black Cat the same day as his blind date with Felicia. "I'm so clueless."

"If we could perhaps focus on the job at hand," Rufus 3000 reminded, "we should get to the war room."

The four followed after the current adults and a naked mole rat into a lab. There mixed in with a few naked mole rat clones like Rufus was a blonde guy in an army jacket with a katana on his belt next to a brunette woman in a matching outfit minus the sword

A woman with cropped blonde hair, her right arm made of metal burn scars around the edge, next to an Indian man. Both of them were in Shegos jumpsuits. The two in the middle were a familiar face and a familiar helmet.

"Sticky"

"Tuck"

The two former techno geeks looked up. "Hey, Penny," Sticky said, height. Wise, he hadn't changed much in twenty years, but he looked tired thinner, worn down, and there were dark circles under his eyes.

Tucker taking off his helmet, didn't look much better. Half his face was scarred his left eye was made of metal. "Dude," he greeted, hugging Danny.

"Tuck your eye," Danny couldn't help but say

"Eh, no big souvenir from my last fight with Cree," Tucker said, the prosthetic glowing for a second, "Besides, I looked better than she did after."

Going by the savage look of satisfaction on his face when Tucker said that Danny decided he was better off not knowing how that fight had ended

"Hey, KP," the blonde guy said, hugging Kim.

"Ugh, Ron, your jacket smells like Narcos," Kim complained before her eyes widened in a snap second. She hugged her best friend like she hadn't seen him in a long time.

"I missed you, Ron. Saving the world wasn't the same without you," Kim told her best friend.

"I missed you too, KP Norway stinks," Ron said "only good thing was Sophie," he said, gesturing behind him to the woman in the army jacket

"I thought you'd say the only bueno nacho in Scandinavia was a street from you," the woman Sophie quipped. Ron smiled ", Okay, that was nice least I didn't starve."

"Okay, yay, happy reunions for everyone," the blonde woman said in a grumpy, sarcastic way that made everyone turn to her. "Let's run through the plan."

Sticky nodded. "Katies, right, let's get to work," he said, tapping the table. A hologram turned on as everyone huddled around it. "This is Shego palace

Jun 8 The tempus simia will be in Shegos throne room at the top under the heaviest security between the Victory Day celebrations and the lion's share of Shego forces off-world for the Martian invasion. There'll be a skeleton crew guarding the palace," Sticky began.

"The first obstacle will be Etrigan guarding the perimeter," Tucker said. "You can't trick him, and most people can't last a minute in a fight with him."

"Etrigan," Danny asked, remembering the demon from the battle against Vlad on Earth 74. He was loose cannon, but he seemed like a good guy, or were things different here on Earth 20? "Mind filling in the guys from the past."

"For most of the good guys Shegos forces capture, she gives them an attitude adjustment with the attitudinal then when they're evil, she uses bribery, blackmail mind control or implanting a bomb in their necks to keep them in line," Tucker explained, "The only ones she straight up executes are the ones who are too hard to control like Superman or Batman."

Wow, that was messed up. "So, who going to hold of Etrigan."

"I'll do it," Katie volunteered. "I've gone toe to toe with the demon before."

"Yeah, and lost an arm," Bebe commented

Katie's face flashed with a green glow. Oh, she was THAT Katie

And that just made Etrigan even more terrifying than he already was. Anyone who can beat Katie Kaboom in a fight went to the top of the don't fight at all costs list.

"And how well would you last with all your fancy toys, batboy" Katie growled. "I won't last long, but I can give you time to get in."

"And I can double that time," the Indian man said, stepping forward and cracking his knuckles.

Because of the motion, Danny noticed many names tattooed on the back of his fingers.

Phineas

Ferb

Buford

Isabella

"Right, Katie and Baljeet will keep Etrigan busy while we make our way to the Tempus Simia," Tucker continued.

"The tempus simia is to be grabbed at all costs. Nothing else matters. Whoever grabs it? USE IT. Go back to before Virusmons invasion can start stealing the statue from the museum, get to the ghost zone, and take it to Clockwork," Ron finished. "That way, this horrible future will never exist."

"Why not destroy it if it's so important," Ben asked.

"We don't know what could happen if the Tempus Simia is destroyed," Cece answered.

"It could fix everything or wipe out the multiverse and everything in it," Bebe said, "that's the last resort."

Got it won't break the time monkey

"Danny, Ben, you're going to need to suit up," Sticky said. A Rufus clone handed them folded green and black jumpsuits. "Security measure, Shego pumps something in the atmosphere. It dampens people's powers unless they're wearing military-issue jumpsuits."

Well, that explained why Danny and Ben's powers didn't work

Pretty smart

And evil

"Just put it on over your clothes and let's go," Katie commented. "It's the end of the world, people who care what you're wearing."
