Synopsis
Superman and the Flash are both returning to their home cities
following missions out of town. As they both pass through the small town
of Rosemont, they spot a strange vibrational ray striking the town from
space and both attempt to stop it. When the Man of Steel tracks it to a
strange space ship, he attempts to approach it but it explodes.
Elsewhere in the town Flash sees that the strange vibrational ray is
causing the townspeople to start to shift into another dimension.
Spotting each other, the two heroes work together to prevent this from
happening. While the Flash races around the city to maintain it’s
vibrational alinement, Superman ushers the people out of the town and
then uses his indestructible cape to prevent the beam from striking the
town. He then follows the beam to it’s source, a massive space ship
locked in combat with another shuttle. Superman scans the ship with his
x-ray vision and is shocked to find that it is organic in nature.
As Superman attempts to stop the two warring ships, both he and
the Flash are trapped in strange energy spheres and are brought aboard a
drydock between the two ships. With Superman trapped in a cage using
Q-Energy to keep him prisoner and the Flash in a cage that counters his
vibrational ability they are confronted by two aliens named Aylem and
Islan members of the Volkir and Zelkot races. The two aliens explain
that they come from warring societies that have come from similar
evolutions that have been locked in an intergalactic war for centuries.
They explain that a rogue scientist of the Zelkot, Iylar had
stolen a time travel device and came to Earth with the hopes of
travelling to the past and stopping the evolutionary divide and prevent
the civil war from happening. They explain thatthe Volkir and Zelkot
evolutions also helped create life on Earth, and preserve a certain
planet near a red sun, and that they intend on stopping Iylar from
succeeding in his mission. Part of this plan also involved capturing
both Superman and the Flash as they would be the only two men who would
stand in their way. Superman and Flash would break out of their cages
and attempt to stop the aliens when it’s pointed out that if Iylar
succeeds the human race would never exist.
Ceasing their battle, Superman and the Flash offer their services
to help the two alien races stop Iylar. They show the two heroes that
their time travel technology only allows them to travel forward into the
future and that Iylar is intending to travel to the end of time
because, in theory, time is a constant loop. In reaching the end of
time, Iylar hopes to pass through a rift back to the beginning of time,
allowing him to travel to the point where he can stop the precuser of
the Volkir and Zelkot into evolving into two different species.
Noting that the Flash is faster that Superman, they equip him
with a communicator device and send him back down to Earth where Flash
uses his speed powers to travel forward into the future in the hopes of
stopping Iylar. As Flash speeds into the future, he has the unfortunate
luck of running into his old enemy the Reverse-Flash who was just then
speeding back in time to commit crimes in the 20th century. Causing them
both to collide in the 25th century and knocking out the Flash.
Watching this from the 20th Century, the leader of the Zelkot’s
tries to convince Superman to continue forward into the future and
insure that the Zelkot’s exist. When Superman refuses, they point out
that if the Zelkot’s cease to exist the planet they briefly inhabited: a
certain red planet would build up atomic pressure and explode centuries
before it was destined to. Superman realizes that the planet they are
referring to is Krypton and his continued existence would be at jeopardy
if history were changed. Superman would then speed off and travel
through the time barrier seeking to stop Iylar even if it meant
preventing the human race from ever existing.
While in the 25th Century, Flash revives and is disorientated
from his collision with Professor Zoom. The Reverse-Flash takes
advantage of this to knock Flash out again, vowing to kill his old enemy
once and for all.

Synopsis
The alien Iylar is attempting to travel back to pre-history to change
the past so that the evolutionary offshoots of the Volkir and Zelkot
races will not engage in civil war over the coming centuries. However,
due to limitations with the aliens time travel technology, he needs to
travel to the end of time and access a rift in time and space back to
the dawn of history in order to get to the point in the past he is
trying to access. In order to stop him, representatives from each race
have captured the Flash and Superman. They sent the Flash to after Iylar
as his meddling in the past would prevent the human race from existing.
Along the way, Flash would slam into his old foe Reverse-Flash in the
25th century. Superman, upon learning that in allowing the Flash to
succeed, Krypton would explode centuries before his breath the Man of
Steel would rush into the future as well, seemingly willing to sacrifice
the planet Earth to prevent himself from being erased from history.
Unable to leave his friend to die at the hands of Professor Zoom,
Superman makes a stop in the 25th Century, and secretly prevents the
Reverse-Flash from causing vibrations that are intended to rip the Flash
apart. Reviving the Flash with is super-breath, Superman would then
build a prison to contain Reverse-Flash so that when Flash knocks the
villain out he has somewhere to place him. Not knowing where the prison
had come from, Flash quickly puts Reverse-Flash in the prison and
continues his race through time.
Superman then reveals himself to the Flash and tells him that
they must work against each other and explains why, all the while they
are being heard on the special monitor the Volkir and Zelkot had given
the Flash. As they begin to catch up to Iylar, the Flash hits one of the
traps placed to stop Iylar and finds himself knocked into the 27th
Century leaving Superman alone. After disabling other mines place in the
time stream, Superman then quickly knocks out Iylar before stopping in
the 27th century himself. He has done this as the time mines have blown
open a rift in time and space, and using his super-powers the Man of
Steel literally stitches up the hole in the fabric of time.
As the Man of Steel is doing this, the Flash returns to the time
stream and comes across the unconscious body of Iylar and as he
approaches it both are shunted out of the time stream and Flash finds
them trapped in some strange cylinder. Examining Iylar’s body closer,
the Flash sees that Superman has left a message telling the Scarlet
Speedster to trust him, carved into Iylar’s suit. This gives Flash hope
that Superman has something figured out to help both of them succeed in
their missions.
Superman, meanwhile tires to re-enter the time stream and finds
himself trapped in the 30th Century. Realizing what era he is in, he
decides to seek out the Legion of Super-Heroes for help and is shocked
to find that his younger self, Superboy, is trapped in the future as
well. Superman soon realizes that this must be another one of the alien
traps preventing him from going further into the future and breaking the
rules of time and space by allowing both Superman and Superboy exist in
the same place. The two figure out how break free of the trap: By
ramming into each other. This causes Superboy to be sent back to
Smallville of his native time, while sending Superman back to Metropolis
in the modern day, Superman meanwhile races forward back into the time
stream.
The Flash breaks free from his prison and is attacked by strange
primitives. As he is defending himself, Iylar re-enters the time stream
and Flash follows after him after one of the savages knocks off his
writs communicator. Catching up with Superman, and free to talk the Man
of Steel explains that he had to leave a written message as the aliens
that have forced them into this current predicament would have
understood any spoken word. The two agree to work together going forward
and race to the end of time where they see that Iylar has already
passed through the breach that would bring him back to the beginning of
time. With the breech rapidly closing, Flash and Superman combine their
powers to vibrate through the rapidly closing portal so that they can
follow after their foe.
They quickly catch up with Iylar, destroy his time cycle and then
race forward with him to the modern era. There Superman quickly uses
his super-breath to freeze all the Volkir and Zelkot in their ship above
the Earth and shut off the vibrational weapon that they had used to
threaten the Earth. With their threat ended, Superman tosses their ship
off into space, winning the battle. After the threat of the two alien
races is finally over, Superman and Flash shake hands and congratulate
themselves on a job well done.
