Timespan has taken Battalion one year into the future. And just as they arrive, the fiery wreckage of SkyWatch falls to Earth. As he runs to the wreckage, he finds StormWatch, although it is not the team that he knows.
In this future, Battalion is dead. WildC.A.T.s' Spartan is acting as the field leader, but Synergy, who is the current Weatherman, takes over when the cyborg shuts down. The reunion is short lived, however, as the WarGuard is close behind.
As StormWatch battles the WarGuard, Battalion comes across his brother, Malcolm, who is not acting like himself. After Battalion takes him down, he is confronted by the man behind it all, his own father, who is now calling himself Despot. Despot has killed Diva, and now controls her reanimated corpse.
But just as Despot is about to kill Battalion, Timespan sends Jackson back to his own time. But Despot has not won, as he is attacked by a mysterious figure.
