   Summary

   Shroud needs the Astral Pulse to power his time machine so he can go back in time and tend to unfinished business.

    

   Unfortunately, as if fate had other ideas, one grave error results in Mecha-Man being catapulted 15 years into the future of an alternate timeline where Robert Robertson III died long ago.
