A man-machine in blue and red stands high on a pedestal. Beside him, a skeleton in a yellow-black body suit resides on a platform slightly lower than the man-machine. Below them, a mass of destruction lie. Endless rubble and broken, bleeding bodies create a sea of devastation.

Two female teenagers march into the building together and face the creatures. Their eyes are sparkling red as results from mind manipulation. Their faces do not show emotion, yet if one were close enough, one could feel the evil radiating from their bodies.

The man-machine bellows to his servants, "Hear me, my puppets. I have ripped you from your own time to do a job for me. I want you to see out and extinguish the life force of one certain unborn mutant. He possesses a power that could be the undoing of all my precious handiwork. Go, find him, and destroy him!!!"

The two hypnotized teens reply, "YES, MY LORD." They walk away, and then fly towards their destination.

It is nighttime at the house where the expecting mother is sleeping. The unborn child sleeps within his mom so innocently, it is hard to imagine that this child could change history.

When the servants arrive, they sneak through the house without detection. Suddenly, one servant is released from her hypnosis. She pretends that she is still under the spell when they discover the mother.

The evil girl states, "THERE SHE IS. DO YOU WANT TO DO THE HONORS?"

The good girl replies, without making her voice noticeable, "YES. I CAN TAKE IT FROM HERE. YOU CAN RETURN TO OUR MASTER NOW."

The evil girl disappears instantly. The good girl encases the fetus in a telekinetic bubble and removes him from his mother's womb. She creates a portal into the distant future. She talks telepathically to the child. "I don't know who you are, but remember this well: When you become of age that your powers develop, return to the year 1993. You are the only hope for our's and the world's survival. Do not forget us."

The child squirms inside the bubble and makes eye contact with the good mutant. He replies. "Do not worry. I won't ever forget you. I shall return. I am forever in your debt."

The girl places the fetus inside the portal, into the womb of another mother. The portal closes. . .
