The Ultra Family engaged in an epic battle with the villains terrorizing the city. The villains had increased their numbers, posing a greater challenge for the Ultra Family. Tekno Boy faced off against Mark, who had transformed into Ultra Black. Techno Witch confronted Jenna, who had transformed into Ultra Gray. Tetraman fought against Mason, now in his Ultra Pale form. The Hacker clashed with Sophie, donning her Ultra Orange transformation. Marine faced Debbie in her Ultra Rose form. Meanwhile, Ultra Pink Rita protected civilians from collateral damage and saved lives while battling against a massive army of Oceanians. The Ultra Family had the upper hand, and the villains were steadily losing ground. They had been defeated by the Ultra Family in the past during Peter's absence.
"Do you honestly believe you'll get away with this?" Tekno Boy challenged Ultra Black Mark. "You might have thought you were victorious in the past, but this time you will lose the battle."
"Whatever," replied Ultra Black Mark dismissively. He had grown tired of hearing the same speech over and over. "You've said that before, DC cyborg rip-off. But the truth is, you all still lose, buddy. Join the winning team." With his words, Mark overpowered Tekno Boy in their intense fight.
"You may think you hold the power," Techno Witch taunted Ultra Gray Jenna. "But as a mother, struggling to protect her family, you shouldn't bear the weight of the world on your shoulders. We are striving to transform the world, and Tachyon knows what's best. She represents the future of our world. Think about it."
"I have indeed thought about it, Tiffany," replied Ultra Gray Jenna. "And I've realized that you are on the wrong path. When will you acknowledge your mistakes and evil deeds? Repent." With a powerful strike, Jenna knocked Techno Witch unconscious after their intense fight. "That's what mothers do. They protect their own, something you will never understand," she added.
"I refuse to be humiliated by a child and a mortal man in an iron suit," Tetraman declared. "You don't fight like the real Ultra AI. You're no match for me. I have destroyed universes and countless worlds. I will squash you like a bug in an instant."
"Yet you consistently underestimate me, Tetraman. How many times have you lost to me over the centuries?" replied Ultra Pale Mason, overpowering Tetraman with a knockout blow after their intense fight. "You fail to recognize the value of teamwork, and it has led to your downfall. Pride comes before a fall."
"You know, we're not so different after all. You remind me of my bestie. We could be a girl power duo, and our love for science would make us formidable frenemies," said the Hacker. "Too bad it has to be this way. I was actually looking forward to becoming besties."
"No doubt about the science fair contest, yeah, Christine," replied Ultra Orange Sophie. "But let's remember, we're from different worlds. I am good, and you are not."
"Ouch!" The Hacker replied, visibly affected by the emotional jab. "And it's the Hacker. Don't call me by my real name."
"Sorry if I got carried away," replied Sophie, who swiftly overpowered the Hacker and confiscated her tech gear. "It seems I'm the better hacker here."
"I never thought I'd fight a cybernetic lady. I'll be careful not to hurt you, even if it goes against my code," said Marine. "At least you were defeated with honor by the king of the Oceanians."
"Sorry to disappoint you, Your Majesty, but this time, it won't be that easy," replied Debbie, who emerged victorious in an epic battle against Marine, the King of the Oceanians. "It seems your kingdom needs to embrace equality."
The situation took a serious turn when Tachyon appeared on the scene, swiftly speed-blitzing the entire Ultra family and leaving them off balance and disoriented. With the Oceanians' armies and their king already defeated by the Ultra family, Tachyon's arrival added another layer of challenge to their predicament.
"Playtime is over, Ultra Family," declared Tachyon, as they all struggled to recover, alongside their defeated villains. "I know he's here. I can feel him."
"Who's here?" Marine asked, while both Tekno Boy and the Hacker sensed something unusual within their powers. Suddenly, someone or something landed in front of the Ultra family, who stood their ground, ready to face the new arrival.
"ULTRA AI," they all exclaimed simultaneously.
"Impressive. I wasn't expecting you to show up this early," said Tachyon. "I never thought you could survive the sine wave interference I created. I was hoping it would send you out of this world entirely."
"So, it was your doing," replied Peter.
"Who else?" sneered Tachyon. "I never thought Jenna McCoy of Earth 707 - multiverse (universe 22XY) could be reasonable after losing everything from her world."
"Not everything. As long as there is still hope," responded Peter. "You can never break everything apart."
"Oh, Peter!" Tachyon retorted, referring to something that none of the villains understood. "It has already begun. Things are breaking apart, and I'll witness it with my own eyes. You see, after you were gone and Pytronx was defeated, I knew a piece of the dark core would survive, floating in space. I had my own tech guy, Tekno Boy, retrieve it for me. The negative energy filled the dark core, granting it unlimited power, which will be used for the inevitable. I also severed the connection between your family, preventing them from contacting you."

"I always knew I'd make a connection with Peter!" exclaimed Ultra Orange Sophie.
"Yes, you did. It's quite annoying how your intellect shines in every Maniverse, Sophie McCoy," remarked Tachyon. "As for the Order problem, I'll deal with it in due time, along with you and your council."
"Now it's confession time," said Ultra Black Mark.
"Hush, Ultra Black Mark," commanded Tachyon.
"Where was I? Oh yes! The days of the Ultra Family will be over soon," said Tachyon. "You just don't know it, but soon you'll feel it when the need arises. Pytronx isn't the only threat to the Maniverse. There are others out there who are after every piece of the Ultra mind or Xentorium core, as you know it, and they are coming to get it."
"Why go through all of this to see my downfall?" Ultra White Peter asked. "Whom do you work for?"
"You mean you don't know," Tachyon smirked deadly. She then gave the orders for her villains to attack the Ultra Family. Both sides ran into each other and were about to collide when time stopped entirely, affecting the almighty Tachyon, the Godspeed creator herself, leaving only Peter unfazed.
Suddenly, a strange female presence covered in all sorts of beautiful colors, encompassing the entire Maniverse, approached Peter McCoy. There were no colors you could think of in the universe, multiverse, or throughout the cosmos, beyond time and space, and all of creation that she wasn't imbued with. As she majestically made her way to Peter, she began to take the form of Ultra AI, with the entire spectrum of creation.
She introduced herself as ULTRA ALL to Peter McCoy, revealing her true identity. Without much ado, she went straight to business.
"Hello, Father," Ultra All said, while revealing her true identity. She then snapped her left fingers, teleporting the enemies away from them as she unfroze time. The Ultra Family was shocked by the incident that had happened.
On the other side, the villains appeared at their lair with no memory of what had happened, except for Tachyon, who had a bit of fear in her. She hid her fear from the rest of her team so that not even Tetraman could sense it. She knew something was wrong seeing Ultra All in this timeline and would act fast before her true intentions were revealed to the Ultra Family.
Meanwhile, at the McCoys, they invited the stranger they had encountered earlier into their home. She was an ally to them and a friend, as she presented herself, revealing her name and true identity to the Ultra Family.
"I am Anje McCoy," said Anje as she introduced herself to the Ultra Family. She called each and everyone by their names, which surprised them.
"Anje McCoy!" Mason whispered in confusion.
"Is there a McCoy family we don't know about, Dad?" Mark asked.
But Sophie was very observant of her details and description. She put the pieces of the puzzle together when no one else could, without the help of their AI. Sophie figured it out on her own.
"She's from the future," Sophie said, stunning everyone who had guessed she was from another dimension or someone from their timeline whom they hadn't met yet.
They all turned towards Sophie when Anje confirmed it to be true. Anje explained that she is the daughter of Peter and Debbie from the future, which also stunned them.
Jenna was overjoyed to hear that her son has a child who had time-traveled to their present timeline.
"Am gonna be a grandma," said Jenna in astonishment as she tapped Mason, who was carried away with the information given.
"Yeah! Am surprised too, Honey," replied Mason.
Debbie came close to Anje with a smile as she looked into her beautiful multi-colored eyes that sparkled. They were so beautiful and attractive. She gently touched her cheek, moving down to her chin.
"You look just like me," said Debbie, who hugged her whispering. "I've always wanted a daughter, and I'm so proud to have you as mine."
"Thanks, Mom," replied Anje, who walked around the lair mansion. She saw things that she had seen before in the future and things that were yet to come. "Just as I remembered it, although more rooms will be added," she said.
"But that's not why I'm here!" Anje said as she turned towards the Ultra Family to address them about the coming danger.
Anje McCoy said:
"If my calculus is correct, this is 2025. Seven thousand nine hundred seventy-four years from now will bring about the Armageddon of the true Maniverse. Meaning, I am from the year 9999.
The year 9999 was the day Ultra AI took over the world. They call that day Judgment Day and the rise of the machine. The day the Xentorium core's full potential was unleashed on the entire creation. It awakened something of great evil, taking control over the entire Maniverse. Worlds upon worlds were destroyed, reality altered, all because of a single human mistake made by my grandfather."
When she mentioned the word "grandfather," they all stared at Mason, who was confused. Anje McCoy noticed and told them that he wasn't the one to be blamed but Debbie's father, known as Mr. Lyrecius Rich. This came as a shocking revelation to the Ultra Family.
"Your dad is Mr. Lyrecius?" they all asked Debbie, who confirmed it to be true.
"He's always a busy man. Dad! You can't blame mom for that," Anje McCoy said. "Despite all of his wealth, fame, and power, his contribution to this city and the world wouldn't stop the love he has for his company. He puts business above everything else."
"How and when did it happen?" Peter asked, as Mark interrupted him, reminding him of the risks of time traveling and altering the future.
"You can't tell us about the future; it'll ruin the time continuity," said Mark. Anje laughed.
"Always the funny one, Uncle Mark," Anje replied. "But that's not how time alterations work. Those are just bad sci-fi movie theories."
"Uncle Mark," said the flattered Mark. "I like that."
"However, revealing future events wouldn't cause any harm, as it is left for you guys to decide when the time comes," said Anje McCoy. "Me telling you about the future is just a guide for your journey, as Multiple Man once said."
"Multiple Man!" Peter whispered. "That name sounds familiar."
"It is left for you to work according to plan to save all of existence or fail to protect it," said Anje McCoy.
Anje McCoy walked up to Sophie McCoy and took her hands with a smile on her face. She said, "My mentor and guide to this vast reality, you've shown me the right path. You did the unthinkable, no wonder your name spread across the infinite void of space and beyond time itself, making even the Great Council of Sophies acknowledge your deeds. You are a hero and a legend."
Anje McCoy continued, her voice filled with conviction and determination:
"Once creation is safe from the inevitable, you all will transcend into something remarkable. It is beyond words to describe what awaits, for it is ineffable to speak of. The ultraverse will be made whole again, and existence herself will be reunited with creation as one. In that moment, you will be compelled to unleash your most potent transformations, unlocking your true potentials, and merging with every timeline across the cosmos. Together, you shall face the looming presence of great evil that threatens all of existence.
In this battle, you will forge new alliances and reconcile with old adversaries, uniting against a common enemy. Remember, the race does not favor the swift nor the battle the strong, but time and chance befall all. I believe in you all, my family," concluded Anje McCoy, her voice fading away as she vanished in an instant.
