London Feb 4th, 2166. The 2nd Blitz. Fire was everywhere. Soldiers were everywhere. Gunning down any individuals they could find. Explosions everywhere. A man tried to fight back and threw a Molotov cocktail at one of them, but was shot anyway by them man as he was wearing fire proof armor head to toe. In the midst of the chaos, there was a duel. A duel between 2 legendary men. Per Degaton and Vandal Savage. Per Degaton threw a punch at his old sensei, intending to stun Savage, and leave him open for a follow up kick, but Savage was immortal. He took Per Degaton's punch like it was a fly and stabbed Per Degaton in the leg that Per Degaton raised in an attempt to kick him. Per Degaton fell to the ground, blood pouring from his leg, enough to make a lesser man vomit, but Vandal Savage was anything but a lesser man. Savage stabbed Per Degaton right in his heart before kicking his old pupil to the ground as he bled out and died. Savage smiled as he looked at the body of his old pupil. He then looked at Per Degatons heart. It was latched onto his blade. He yanked it off and crushed it right then, right there. Any part of him that was capable of feeling remorse would be feeling it, if it was capable of it. He grabbed a rifle and began to walk to a burned down house. "Vandal Savage. A Dictator blessed with immortality. He has achieved what no one in human history ever has. He has conquered the world." A British man narrated. Savage would've enter through the door if there was a door. This sorry excuse for a house was nothing more than a few low walls that was the size of a toddler standing up. Savage walked over and gazed at the 2 people in front of him. A woman and her child. He shot the woman and she yelped in pain as the laser made contact with her skin. She ricocheted off of the wall and onto the floor, here eyes having no life in them. He looked at her son. " What's your name child?" Savage asked the boy. "Jonas." The kid replied. There wasn't an ounce of fear in the boys voice and that made savage like this kid. To a degree anyway. "You're mother was brave, just as your father was foolish. Which are you?" Savage asked Jonas. Jonas replied by spitting right into Savage's beard. "I see you take after your mother." Savage said as he rose and grabbed his gun. "Or not!" Savage said as he aimed the gun at the boy and pulled the trigger.

"Caesar. Hitler. Per Degaton. Rank amateurs when compared to the likes of Savage. He has done what no other man has. He has conquered all of Earth and his forces have already claimed the lives of billions." A British man in a long brown trench coat spoke to what seemed like dark walls. Suddenly, the wall lit up with light, revealing multiple people sitting down. The Time Council of Time Masters. "And we see that Rip, but this is how events must play out." One of the masters said. "We have the resources to stop him, yet we sit idly by and watch him murder thousands. If we do not intervene, that blood is on our hands." The man, now known as Rip Hunter, pleaded with the council. "It is our job and duty to protect the timeline. Not Humanity. Vandal Savage's survival is key. And if we do this, we are engaging in the manipulation of time that we, as Time Masters, have sworn to prevent." "And if all of humanity dies at the hands of Savage, what are we custodians of?" Rip replied to the man. "What if, in trying to save the world from Savage, we leave it vulnerable to a more dire and powerful despot. We aren't warriors Captain Hunter. We possess no army." " I'm not asking for an army. All I'm asking for is a single timeship. and your permission to stop Vandal Savage from putting and end to History. I'm not appealing to you as Time Masters, but as humans. Please, grant me the authority to change the timeline just this once." Rip spoke.

"How did it go Captain?" A disembodied computer voice asked Rip. "Exactly as expected Gideon." Rip responded in a hopeful tone. "So we are proceeding as planned?" The voice, now revealed to be the ships AI Gideon asked. "Yes. Set a course for Star City Jan. 15th, 2016. Rip spoke. "Ah. The early 2nd millennium A.D. The golden age of gasoline engines, online pornography and those silly cell phones. What are we going to we going to retrieve captain?" Gideon spoke. "Not what Gideon. Who. I need you to pull up some files Gideon. The 9 men and women who will be joining us on our little... crusade." Rip said. "You usually prefer to work alone captain." "This time I need a team." Rip responded to Gideon as his ship, the Waverider, suddenly appeared in Star City 2016.
