The two strangers that were walking around in the forests outside of Fawcett City heard a roar up in the sky as an airplane flew by.
"A flying machine?!! See, we must be in YOUR time!!!" said the guy with a sarcastic tone.
"But there isn't a forest anywhere this size near the well or my house. Maybe we landed somewhere else in my time...I don't know. I still want to know why you drew your sword and attacked that...thing that was in our way?" asked the young girl.
"It looked liked a demon. Smelled like one. It was powerful enough to survive my attack...its power was more evil than that scum Nar..." He stopped short his sentence as his ears wiggled. "Voices...coming this way. I can't understand the words though." The person, dressed in red quickly grabbed his companion and hid her behind a tree.
"Now I hear them too. They're not speaking Japanese...sounds a lot like English. Maybe we're in England or even America." said the girl. "The voices are getting closer. Maybe they saw us land here. We'd better find a safer spot so we can sort this out."
"I'm not running from no one! If they're looking for us, I'll be more than happy to meet them!!!" Grabbing the sword from his waist belt, it began to grew to more than five times its normal size but the girl stepped in front of him. "We don't know what's going on yet. It's always like you to charge into action without thinking. Let's go over to that cave and figure all of this out."
"Fine! We'll do it your way. SHEESH!!!" Grabbing the girl and putting her on his shoulder, the two ran at an incredible speed and within seconds was clear of the area. Moments later, Mr. Scarlet and Pinky the Whiz Kid came by the area where the two were.
"Nope...don't see anything over here, Mr. Scarlet." Over the walkie-talkie, the voice of Bulletman and Minute-Man resonated. "Nothing over here either. Keep searching, I'm sure we'll find whatever came down here in the forest. Bulletman out!"
THE ARCADEMAN UNIVERSE: MOUNT EVEREST...
While the pixie Parrillusia was in a trance summoning the heroes of the Arcade Brigade, Black Adam walked toward the area that was being cloaked by the mystic forces of Darkness. He reached out and touched it and felt like a stone wall. He punched it without any effect. A little perturbed by that, he pulled back his right arm, as if preparing to strike a death blow however before he could perform the act, the mystic wall reached out and swallowed Black Adam completely. Parrillusia, finished with communicating with her allies, turned to tell Adam only to find him gone.
Black Adam looked around but all he saw was darkness. Then a voice rang out. "Black Adam. The last time we met was half a millenia ago when you was a student of Shazam. You defied me and almost paid the ultimate price for that. I know what you did on Earth-S...you became a being as dark as myself but when the time came to join forces there, you betrayed me and because of that, both your wizard and that damned White Wizard cut me off completely from my other selves. However, all is not lost. I will give you one last chance, Adam. I can feel the darkness and hatred within your soul...your very contempt for these heroes of this world...how they have you on a leash and threaten your very existance if you don't cooperate with them. Join me at my side. Together the two of us, along with my shadow beings can destroy the heroes and rule this universe for it is MY DESTINY to do so!!!"
Black Adam smirked. "Hmmm...you do raised some interesting points there. Here is my answer, Darkness." He raised his arm in a gesture. An arm formed within the dark area and the two shook each other's hand.
Up above, within the Realm of Higher Existance where The White Wizard resided, along with Parrillusia, The Dream Angel and Dream Demon to name just a few, was about to conjure up a spell. In a flash of light, two creatures stood in front of him: one was The Shadowlight...the other the Space Firebird.
"I know I said this would never happen again however I have no choice. If The Darkness is to be destroyed, I must re-create Eclipse!"
