The heroes think they will be starting their Senior year of highscool after foiling the Devils' plans to merge all of the alternate realities in the mutiverse, bringing about a multiversal cataclysm (see Seaon 2 Finale).Well, they are in for a surprise.  In one of the last few games of Season 2, they tried to steal a poweerful Psionic Artifact, the Orb of Yog, from a wealthy occult collector.  When they arrived at the mansion of this collector, they found it in ruins and burning, with most of the staff slaughtered.  The artifact was gone and ther occult collector somehow recognized the heroes and was terrified of them!Unbeknownst to the heroes, in an alternate timeline, the Occultist Character of ther group was the one to first pick up the Orb of Yog (as opposed to the Psi-Blade).  It boosted not his psionic powers (he has none) but the powers of the demon he willingly allowed to possess him (again, see Season 2).This evil demon uses his newfound psionic powers to open a huge interdimensional gate and allow an army of Cthullhu Mythos nasties to take over the Earth.    This causes the Egyptian gods to "break cover" and reveal themselves as the secret champions of mankind against the Mythos (see Seasons 1 and 2 for hints).Essentially, the Mythos has cursed Man with psionic powers over time and the Egyptian Pantheon has countered by gifting Man with magic.This means that all of the characters have been drastically effected by either one side or the other.  Some have had thier magic become "more Egyptian" while others have had to make "deals" with "certain entities" to keep thier sanity (and their powers).Anyway, the dimensional event horizon of the time anomaly (yes, I made that up!) catches up with the heroes at the start of Season 3.  They find themselves in this horrible new world ruled by the Mythos.  Their memories are imperfect.  Why does the Mythos rules the world?  Why is one of thier former team members the Evil Emperor of the west coast?  What happened on that bridge to Los Angeles and why did it leave LA a smoking crater?After a few games of this, and a few more clues as to what happened, a former Shadow Chaser team member who got locked up in another dimension busts loose to visit the heroes.  He has been watching them from outside this timestream and saw what happened to the world becuase of the Orb of Yog.He brings the team the means to travel back in time and destroy the Orb of Yog before the Occultist Character can touch it, triggering the ascendance of the demon inside him.This is why that wealthy occultist in the mansion recognized "them".  They'd already been there...now.  Before.  Isn't time travel fun?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />THEN they get to go back to the normal timestream and finish out highschool.  Only to find out that something from the "Mythos Future" followed them back to become the Big bad of the season.All this, and none of them have dates for Prom yet...-Tom</blockquote>
