Call me Eurostar, your beloved guardian angel.

As you have just seen, the carriers of M.A.N. are arriving in Thunder City, and one of them is labeled M-X. Inside, shaken, bruised, battered and saddled, but with an immense desire of revenge, sit the members of TOMB: Prometheus X, Malvana, Bibbo, LLance, his cousin Redros, Danny, Shock, Mordecai, Avatar, Joker1, Ghaleon and Captain Nemo. This last one, which actually is the father of my grandfather, has a new look. Gone is the golden hook on his right arm, now he sports a normal hand of flesh and bones. Healed by Joker1, a very good work for the clown. But what repercussions this will bring, we’ll have to see.

Meanwhile, on the battleground, the MBL team is heavily beaten by the forces of Hell. Some powerhouses, like Daniel Page or the new hero from the future, Dev Em, do well, and easily overcome the attacks of the zombies and demons, but many don’t. Glass Eye, an old member of the second IGB, falls under the trident of a second rank devil, while Renegade, the first afro-american member of the Message Board League, long retired, is slaughtered by an enormous undead, that is revealed to be the Warlord, another old dead enemy of the MBL.
But even among so much blood, no one, even the most coward criminal, is willing to give up. Not for their own willforce, but because Mighty Aphrodite pushes them to their limits with her seductive powers. In the Citadel, Gooz and Changeling are observing the battle, slightly relieved for the arrival of TOMB and MAN, but totally unaware of two demons from the Circles of Darkness that are sneaking inside the basement of the Headquarter.

In Mandelovia, only one being is remaining to fight the invasion, after the departure of the Nerverian Knights. He’s Heritage, now overwhelmed by zombies, demons, undeads, and monsters of all sorts. Meanwhile, under the shadow of the towering form of the demon Abbadon, in all the City State the battle has ended, and the Mandelovian Army, as well the civilians are surrendering to the forces of Hell. The Darkness that has wrapped the whole planet thicken, as over the rubbles of the palace, an horde of demons begins to build the giant throne of Viper.

In the Hyperboards borderline, the millions of windows dotted place outside and between the Hyperboards, amid the currents of the timestream floats the Klone Dome of JAMB, the Junior Adventurer of the Message Boards.
In the Tactic Square, Crush, the second in command of the team, looks suspiciously at the young Eurostar, which is me when I was young, and time traveled to the future. It was my arrival there that coincided with the vanishing of Jake and EEG, two of his teammates, and while Joker2 and Hourly, other two jambers, were very warm with me since my first minute there, Crush just could’t trust me.
Now, J2 and Hourly are away with Max Yezpitelok, trying to rescue Lorelei, a friend of mine, from a world that resemble a videogame, when a giant penguin enters the room. It’s Bekenecker, the last of the retcon penguins, the alien birds that one time where the friends of my father. I had never meet any of them at that age, but Beckeneker did (the usual paradox of time travel) and seeing me, tears appeared on the face of the penguin. “Becknekbecknekbecknek” says the penguin (I don’t know if to use past or present telling this story, because it is happening right now, but I remember it from my youth) and Eurostar doesn’t understand. Crush looks serious: “Beckeneker says that he knows you, and that you will become best friends”.
“I’m flattered!” says Eurostar.
“No, he means that in your future you will be best friends” says Crush.
“Beknek!” the penguin takes Eurostar’s right hand with one of his wing, and brings him to a nearby console. “Becknek nekbeck” the bird says , turning to Crush.
“Beckeneker says that he can tracks your friend easily than Hourly” explains Crush.
“How can he knows?”
“Oh, he followed the happenings from his polar quarters”.
“Ah!”
The retcon penguin busily works around Eurostar, applying electrodes to the young hero. After a few minuts, the monitors of the room get on, in each one a different image.
On the main one, Hourly, Joker2 and Max talks to an armored Lorelei.
On the second, Tommy walks trough a joungle, an horned stone statue walking behind him.
On the third, Jason is in the arms of the Utterly Useless Guy in a grocery store, ran by a two headed dwarf.
On the fourth, Tobias Christopher and Giovacchino run across a devastated America.
On the fifth, Doctor Quantum explores the hidden treasures of Eldorado, while WolveRhine, the ubermensh of the Fourth Reich is on his tail.
On the sixth, Drax, stuck in dragon from, is hunted by Saint George in medieval Europe.
On the seventh, Disco Steve is caged in the Cheesy Disco Room, where Master Beta, Aquarius and the Seamen are about to kill him.
On the eight, Smasher is the resident superhero of Chimpago, the windy city of the Planet of the Apes.
On the ninth, Igor Jr. is in front of… Igor Jr.?
And, lastly, on the tenth, Jake is in a strange place, the Nexus, another of those point between the Hyperboards, this one inhabited by 88 identical brothers. What he is doing there, is a complete mistery.
