Fawcett City…
Fred Batson began to stir awake. A cool breeze brushed his face as the sunlight danced on his cheeks. He felt a sense of freedom as he finally opened his eyes. To his horror, he realized he was miles above ground and falling to what could be his death if he didn’t act soon. His hands scrambled for his Cosmic Converter Belt, “It’s gone!” he realized. “Dammit! The Injustice Society must have taken it during the fight.” Then he noticed something else peculiar, he was no longer in his Stellar costume. Instead, he was wearing a red hoody and a pair of jeans. “Crap! Crap! Crap! What am I doing to do?” he asked himself. “Wait! I can use my signal device to teleport to the Hall,” he plotted as he reached into his pockets to find “It’s gone too! Oh man, I’m going to splatter all over the ground in seconds. “Dad, I hope you’ll forgive me for all of those times I didn’t listen to you,” he said in preparation for his demise when suddenly he stopped falling. Someone had caught him. It was a girl with an hour-glass shaped figure, light eyes, and beautiful long blonde hair. Fred was speechless but he wasn’t sure if it was due to being caught or if it was because the girl who caught him was drop-dead gorgeous.
“What’s wrong handsome? Forget your magic-word?” the girl asked.
“Sherry??? Is that you?” Fred Batson asked.
“You bet – Sherry Marvel at your service,” smiled the red and gold clad teen.
“When did you get super-powers?” asked the son of Captain Marvel.
“When did you get amnesia?” Sherry asked innocently. “Remember when we saved the old Wizard, whose name I can’t say right now, from Ibac? He granted me the gifts of the gods just like you.”
“What do you mean just like me? I don’t have any powers. I use my mom’s old Cosmic Converter Belt which strangely seems to be missing right now,” insisted Fred.
“Cosmic what??” repeated Sherry. “I think you must have been dreaming before I caught you. I’ll bet if you say your magic word everything will become clear.”
“Are you suggesting I should say Shazam?” asked Fred. Suddenly, a bolt of mystical lightning came down from the heavens and transformed the average teen known as Fred Batson into the new Captain Marvel Jr. A rush like never before shot through his body. He soon found himself flying on his own. His muscles bulged with strength. He swirled around Sherry with the speed of a cyclone. “Yes! Yes! Yes! The old wizard has finally granted me my wish!”
“What do you mean ‘finally’?” asked Sherry, a bit confused. “You’ve had your dad’s powers for a few years now.”
“Huh?” inquired Stellar, unsure of what was going on.
“You’ve been the new Captain Marvel Jr. for the last few years,” explained Sherry. “Tell you what, let’s go to the Squadron of Titans headquarters and have Ibis take a look at you. Maybe you hit your head.
“Squadron of Titans?” whispered the new Captain Marvel Jr. as he followed Sherry. “She must mean the Squadron of Justice. Poor Sherry – she’s never been the brightest bulb on the tree.”
A few minutes later, the Shazam-powered duo arrived on the outskirts of the city. Fred was shocked to see a giant pyramid in the middle of a large field. “Whoa! Where did this come from?”
“You don’t remember that either?” inquired Sherry as the couple made their way inside the structure. “Ibis brought it over here from Egypt. It’s really cool in here. Come on!” she motioned.
A few seconds later, the two heroes entered a chamber to find Ibis The Invincible, Spy Smasher, Diamond Jack, Bulletboy, and Teen Marvel awaiting.
“Captain Marvel Jr.! Sherry Marvel! You’re timing could not be more perfect!” announced Ibis. “We must leave for Khandaq immediately! That evil fiend Black Adam has kidnapped Isis and I can’t even begin to presume what he will do to her. Ms. Scarlet and her pretty little sidekick Pinky may not be joining us today. They are off on another mission trying to stop the Crocodile Men from taking over a small diamond mining town in Africa. They promised to join us if they complete their mission before we do ours.”
“Evil? Black Adam has turned bad again?” guessed Captain Marvel Jr. “Did his tumor re-grow?”
“Fred, Black Adam has always been a bad guy,” smiled Sherry. “Ibis – on the way to Khandaq I think you better have a look at this boy. His memory seems to have some holes in it. He didn’t even remember being given his powers.”
“That is not good. We shall need you in sound mind and body young man,” Ibis said as the group of heroes boarded Spy Smasher’s Gyrosub. “I shall examine you on the way to our destination.”

Khandaq...
"Teth, whhy are you doing this?" Isis asked her enraged husband from another reality. “I’ve never seen you so ruthless and cold.”
"My thirst for power fuels me…..as does your beauty for some reason," replied Black Adam.
"But Teth, you have a heart." Isis starting to sobbing. “This world is not right. You used to be a good man. We used to be husband and wife.”
"Spare me your nonsense woman! I can begin a world war with my bare fists. I won’t let your crazy words stop me." Black Adam replied viciously.
"Please, let go of me, let go of ME!!! You’ve got to try to remember. The Wizard and his Injustice Society have done something to all of reality!" Isis was crying, but her pleading fell on deaf ears to her seemingly former husband.
Later...
"Well Fred, we arrived to Khandaq." Ibis said to the new Captain Marvel Jr. “And from what you’ve told all of us, something is very wrong with the space-time continuum. After we rescue Isis and subdue Black Adam, we need to get to the bottom of this mystery.”
"Do you have a strategy? Black Adam is going to be a formidable foe." advised Captain Marvel Jr.
"Well, Spy Smasher III, Bulletboy, Diamond Jack, and I will attack Black Adam,” directed Ibis. "You, Sherry, and Teen Marvel will rescue Isis."
"Once Isis is free, hopefully she can convince Black Adam remember his life as a hero," suggested an optimistic Captain Marvel Jr.
''Sorry for arriving late to the party," Said Ms. Scarlet as she and her sidekick Pinky emerged from the Shadows.
"Those darn Crocodile Men were tougher than we thought." Shouted Pinky to Ibis.
"We are happy to have you join us in the assault on Black Adam," smiled Ibis.
***
Several minutes later in the midst of the battle royale...
"Not so fast Black Adam!!!" Proclaimed Ibis to Black Adam who was about to fly off to grab Isis and escape.
"I won't surrender to you!” barked Black Adam.
Ibis summoned a swarm of golden scarabs to distract Black Adam, while Spy Smasher in his Gyrosub shot two missiles, neither of which pierced Black Adam's skin.
"Well, it now depends of me," shouted Diamond Jack. "Ring, don't fail me now." Diamond Jack created an enchanted bow and arrow. In a dramatic move, Diamond Jack shot an arrow which struck Black Adam’s chest and penetrated heart. or so he thought.
Seconds later, Black Adam pulled the Arrow from his chest and with lightning speed, grabbed Diamond Jack by the throat, "Nothing personal, but I don't have compassion for the weak. And the weak are you. Bwahahahahah."
Bulletboy began to shoot bullets from his hands as he was flying at hypersonic speed.
"Do you want to play tag? If so, prepare to die boy!" Threatened Black Adam.
"Try and catch me." replied an overconfident Bulletboy.
Bulletboy hit Black Adam with a shower of bullets but Black Adam was still unharmed.
Ms. Scarlet used her adhesive gun to stick Black Adam to the floor. While Black Adam was incapacitated Pinky threw a chloroform capsule to make Black Adam start to choke but the most it did was irritate him further.
"Your efforts are less than effective. You might as well ready your coffins! Bwahahahahah" declared Black Adam to his adversaries.

Inside the Royal Palace of Khandaq...
"Ok Isis, you are free,” smiled Sherry Marvel as the chains fell off of Isis’ wrists. “Can you help us bring Black Adam back to his senses?" asked Sherry Marvel.
"Isis, you must try to make Black Adam reconcile with you." Pleaded the new Captain Marvel Jr.
"I will. I love Teth and it pains me to see him act like this," Isis said in a bit of dispair.
"But Black Adam has nothing of humanity inside of him." Insisted Teen Marvel.
Captain Marvel Jr. turned to his cousin and explained, “You still don’t remember your life on New Earth. There, Isis, Black Adam and I were all part of a large group of heroes called the Titans of Justice. You, Sherry, Ibis, and Spy Smasher were part of a new Squadron of Justice. Last night, Power Guy, Wonder Man, Huntress and some of the other Titans along with myself fought the Injustice Society.”
“You mean the Monster Society of Evil?” assumed Teen Marvel.”
“No – this is a completely different group,” countered the hero formerly known as Stellar on New Earth. “This group of villains did something to alter reality itself. Isis and I remember everything. I think Black Adam will eventually too as we were all on the scene when the Injustice Society made everything change.”
***
A few minutes later outside the palace…
"I will tear the four of you apart! There will be no funeral in my domain for you." Black Adam proclaimed seemingly victorious.
Ibis, Spy Smasher, Bulletboy, Ms. Scarlet, Pinky, and Diamond Jack were all relieved by the appearance of Isis and the new Marvel Family.
Captain Marvel Jr. and Teen Marvel flew up to Black Adam and restrained his arms.
"Teth, hear me Teth." pleaded Isis to her husband as she got in his face., “You MUST remember our past….our love!”
Black Adam was not sure why but his rage began to fade, "What are you doing to me woman? Why is my anger towards all of you fading???” demanded Black Adam.
"I want my loving husband back not this coldhearted conqueror you’ve seemingly become. I love you, Teth. I LOVE YOU!!!" proclaimed Isis as she kissed her husband on the lips passionately
A few seconds later, Black Adam stopped resisting Captain Marvel Jr. and Teen Marvel, "I'm starting to remember,” admitted Black Adam. “It’s like a movie playing in my head. I love you Isis and I am sorry for what I have done today………to all of you.
“There is no need for an apology,” smiled Isis. “This is not your fault. The Injustice Society is to blame.”
“That they are,” came a voice from behind the small group of heroes.
Isis and the others turned to see a mysterious figure. The stranger extended her open hand, “We need your help to set things right. Can we count on your assistance?” she asked.
