The Future Is Now! Part 1 & 2.It is Betty's thirteenth birthday, and Betty's family and friends are arranging a surprise birthday party. Meanwhile, after years of work, X-5 has managed to complete a working time machine. As a sign of the accomplishment, Admiral DeGill is ordered to present the time machine at the Galactic Council. However, this is a trap set by Maximus, who captures the time machine and travels into the future, with Sparky, X-5, Beatrixo, and Admiral DeGill as hostages. A downcast Betty and Noah, both having eluded capture, returns to Betty's birthday party, where a hand-me-down "re-gift" from Penelope inspires her to repair a prototype time machine (its only flaw being that it turned its occupants into gelatin) to full working order and travel to the future. Betty and Noah arrive in the year 2013 to find a dystopic Moose Jaw Heights. Maximus has taken control of Earth, and the Galactic Guardians have been reduced to a small pocket of resistance, consisting of the seventeen-year-old Atomic Betty as well as teenage future versions of Noah, Chaz, Regeena, and even Penelope; all who know of Betty having been a dutiful and strong Galactic Guardian for several years. After the prototype time machine is destroyed, the Galactic Guardians of the present and future launch an attack against Maximus in his Earth stronghold on Beatrixo's farm in a bid to capture the original time machine, which results in their own capture. After gloating that the four present-day hostages are scattered about the universe, the present Betty manages to trick Maximus into "repairing" his time machine (ostensibly to prevent motion sickness by its occupants), before a timely distraction by the future Penelope allows Betty and Noah to take the time machine themselves and travel back to the past...
