[Updated] Straight off the top of my head...
Long go in a distant land, I, Aku, the shapeshifting master of darkness unleashed an unspeakable evil but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me.
Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him far into the future where my evil is law.
Now the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku.

*Phone rings*
“Hello?”
“Harrison, I need your help.”
“Dad, I’m a lawyer! You’re the detective!”
“Ah, come on. All I need is a ride. What could possibly happen?”

“Working in a garage isn’t exactly Camelot but it’s where I met Zak.
I’m a wizard who works alone.
Not anymore.
Now they tell me I need an apprentice...
And he’s it.”

“Where am I?”
“In the village.”
“What do you want?”
“Information.”
“Who’s side are you on?”
“We want information. Information. Information!”
“Well, you won’t get it!”
“By hook or by crook, we will.”
“Who are you?”
“The new number two.”
“Who is number one?”
“You are number six.”
“I am not a number! I am a free man!”

It all started when a time travel experiment I was conducting went... A little ka-ka.
In the blink of a cosmic clock, I went from quantum physicist, to air force test pilot.
Which could’ve been fun if I knew how to fly.
Fortunately, I had help. An observer from the project named Al.
Unfortunately, Al’s a hologram so all he can lend is moral support.
So here I am, bouncing around in time, putting things right that once went wrong.
A sort of, time travelling lone ranger with Al as my Tonto.
And I don’t even need a mask.
Oh boy.

What if you found a portal to a parallel universe?
What if you could slide into a thousand different worlds?
Where it’s the same year and you’re the same person, but everything else is different.
And what if you can’t find your way home?
