the middle of Californian city, inside an old man's lab who was obsessed with research concerning the theories of time travel. But this day, something went wrong… very wrong.
The old man built a device that theoretically would open through time packets and travel back and forward in space time, just as he turned on the device to test it, his little boy named Michael Jones was looking for his lost ball then he spotted it somewhere near the appealing device. "Daddy, I found my ball" the kid said "there it is" while running towards it. The old man tried to stop the boy but it was too late, the boy was blasted by a beam from the device, what the old man could do was to turn off the device before it looses her only boy.
"Are you okay."
"Yeah, what happened?"
"Thank God, never do it again"
"Do what?"
"Promise me"
"But da..."
"Just promise me"
"Okay I promise won't play near your invention ever again" Michael could tell the old man, then he ran to his room and went to sleep.
The next morning, the old man brought Michael some breakfast but shockingly, the old man was okay. Michael said: "Hi I'm sorry, who are you?". The old man thought the incident caused Michael memory loss so he asked him "What's your name?". Then Michael replied confidently, "I'm Michael Jones, where am I, why aren't I in my mansion. Am I like kidnapped or what?". This response made the old man very nervous so he took Michael to his lab for testing. After a few days of analysis and watching the sudden change in his personalities, he later realized that the machine connected the brain waves of Michael with the brain waves of his doppelgangers in the multiverse, thus making him possess different personalities from other dimensions. After realizing this he stopped thinking about Michael for a while and called his partner Dr. Celestine to tell him about what he has achieved. He agreed to meet him at the café, so he took his briefcase with his blueprints of the device and went to the café.
At the café he met Celestine and told him everything about what happened to his son. Celestine looked at him schemely and asked, "Do you have the blueprints?" the old man opened his briefcase and gave the blueprints to Celestine. He took the blueprints and looked at them, he took a pistol from his jacket, pointed it to the old man and said "the glory is for only one".
The old man panicked and quickly attacked to protect himself, he then took the blueprints and burnt them in the copper heater. Celestine got angry and shot him on the head with three bullets. The security then came in and arrested Celestine and took the body of the old man to prepare it for burial.
9 YEARS LATER
Michael is now 17 years old and a certified scientist working on his father's inventions and studying about the multiverse. This day he prepared a special convention where he invited various scientists and business men. During the convention he presented his theory concerning the existence of parallel universes apart from the one we are in. His theory said that every possibility or thought of something that you haven't done is done in another multiverse. The guests teased him, mocked him and humiliated him infront of the media. Michael got so sad and angry that he left the stage angrily and left. As he was leaving, a rich looking man was heard at a distance "Excuse me doctor Jones". Michael stopped and listened to the man, the man was not familiar to him despite knowing all small and successful scientists and business men in America. The man told him that he is interested with his research. This made Michael a bit motivated. The man told him to meet him at the park at late midnight, he might help him with his research then he left.
When it struck midnight on Michael's clock he took his researches packed them in a small briefcase and went to the park, when he arrived he saw no one, it was totally dark. Then a figure appeared behind him and covered his head in a sack, tied his arms and legs and took him away.

When he was untied he was in a huge structure like a big company, the people were so busy that they didn't even have time to chat to each other. Then right infront of him he saw the man in a smiley face. "Thanks for showing up Dr. Jones" Michael hastily asked the man "who are you? where am I?" The man apologized for being rude and he introduced himself as Mr. Bill Stacks the head supervisor of the Association of Timekeepers in the Multiverse (ATM). When Michael heard the introduction he burst into laughter thinking that he is being pranked. Bill continued by saying that the ATM's sole duty is to maintain peace and order in the multiverse and stopping threats which would cause a potential multiversal collapse. Michael looked at him and said "I think I'm ready to leave now, nobody appreciates my research".
As he was leaving, Bill said "about your research Doctor Jones", Michael stopped and listened to him, "there is something missing, self analyzing, you don't know what you are capable of", then Michael replied "what do you mean?", "let me show you" Bill said as he entered one of the doors in the hallway.
Michael followed him into that room. When he entered inside it had a lot of screen and one big screen at centre, underneath the screen there was the control panel which were being controlled by some of the employees. "what is all this?" Michael asked, Bill answered "I want to show you something" as he commanded the workers to play California July 19th 2016 which was the date Michael got an accident in his father's lab. Bill started to explain to Michael that the machine that his father built wasn't to open a time portal but it was accidentally mechanised to duplicate matter to different multiversal frequencies. So when Michael went into the device, his brain waves were duplicated that he possessed all brainwaves of other Michael Jones in the multiverse. "This means that you are the researcher." said Mr. Starks "I've research on you, live research on the multiverse." Michael asked in confusion "then why tell me all this?". Mr. Starks took off his ropes and said "Because the multiverse is in danger and it needs you to save it." Michael thought it through how can he handle the multiverse in his hand if he even can't clean his home laboratory, there must be a mistake, how can I do it especially by myself he asked worriedly. "You won't be alone, you'll have to gather your team." Bill showed Michael the team he has to gather. All the members were Michael Jones but from different universes. There was Agent Jones, Billionaire mechanic Jones, cyber Jones and regular Jones. "You guys are special in the multiverse."
Then Bill took Dr. Jones to their topmost scientist dealing with all science concerning the multiverse in the ATM. His name was Doctor Obihero. "This guy will help you to understand more about the multiversal particles in your brain." Michael looked at the guy curiously, he was short bald and with an oversized labcoat. So Michael was ready to start recruiting the gang. The first one agent Jones a retired app agent does combat missions for government and individuals, no close relationships lives in the interior wood in Alaska. So Bill gave Michael one guard and he was ready to go. Obihero opened a portal to Earth-3B and Dr. Jones started his first multiversal quest.
