Year Zero [FPF]

OOC-I've tagged everyone who was involved with the Las Vegas storyarc

“JUDGE PRITCHARD, THIS IS NEW SUPREME-CHIEF-JUDGE WEATHERS, AND HE ORDERS YOU INTO ACTION IMMEDIATELY!â€
Don’t die.
I hoped it might somehow kick the Judge memories back into gear and shunt some adrenaline around his system.

Suddenly Arti turned from a rag-doll into a stiff limbed monster from a zombie film. His height meant that he bonked his head (and he calls me lanky, cheeky git). I opened the door and he got out, apparently now er… what’s the word… like, uh… infused? with energy.
Good, he was still alive and able to function. I was glad, because to be honest I didn't fancy giving him the kiss of life if he went into cardiac arrest.

He turned to Boyd – who I'd hauled back out the car, and was only just managing to stay conscious himself (I was having to hold him up to stop his legs buckling) – and asked a question.
It was weird, his voice was no longer that of the crazy scientist, but gratey, low-down and gritty.

“SUPREME-CHIEF-JUDGE WEATHERS, WHAT ARE MY ORDERS?â€
<snip/>

Before me stood chief Judge weathers and Judge Solvay, and below us a group of gang members fighting a group of judges.
"We need to deliver a prototype weapon to the...supreme judges of Mega City Two!" Solvay yelled. I looked down at the group, and pondered my plan of attack.

The gunships pounded the building with rocket fire. Williams projected an energy shield over the group, and used an EMP to stun Jaxx.

"If you try that shit again I swear to gods it won't be non-lethal you little runt!" she yelled.
Kahn snatched the vials from Evelina's hands and knocked her down, he pulled his pistol on Jay, his burnt hands shaking. "Where's the rifle Chrysler?"

Jay went to hand the rifle to Kahn when SOG commandos broke into the building. They pinned the Dwarfers behind a display case, Williams used her shield to protect them. Jay used the rifle to shoot out the kneecaps on two of the soldiers, but they started going around the shield.
"Shit!"
Suddenly one of the commandos went flying across the room. Artemis grabbed another from behind and knocked him out with a swift punch to the temple

I tossed the unconscious gang member aside and spin kicked another in the face. One put an MP5 to my head but I quickly grabbed the barrel, hoisted it upward, and delivered a swift punch to his throat. Judge Solvay rushed in next to me using some sort of...tranquilizer gun?

Alex used the syringe gun on two of the commandos, and went for a third but the gun jammed.
"Fuck! FUCK!" he yelled as the commando aimed for his head. The commando was swiftly KO'ed with a swift neck chop. Artemis looked around at the unconscious commandos, then to Alex. "Judge Solvay...

"...I will be informing Chief Judge Weathers of your accident" I said. Judge Solvay shook his head and headed for the other Judges.

"Isn't that the guy we poisoned?" Williams said, gesturing to Artemis, and then to Boyd as he scampered in mumbling. "Who cares, they're going to send in the commandos again any minute now. Chrysler, the god damn rifle" Kahn demanded. Jay handed over the rifle, and Kahn turned over the vials. Cass quickly snatched the syringe gun out of Alex's hands, loaded the vials into it, and fired them into Artemis and Boyd's necks

"Chief Judge Weathers..." I felt a sharp pain in my neck. Suddenly, reality came flowing back.

I looked around at the Dwarfers, and two weird looking space commandos.
"Mr. Chrysler, who are they" I asked, my voice hoarse. "These are the people who...poisoned you" Jay said.
"What?! If I wasn't so sure you'd kick my ass I'd strangle the life out of you! Do you know what you put me through!" I yelled
"Who cares, the paradox is resolved, we're out of here!" The male one said

The rogues stood on one end of the room while the Dwarfers and I gathered on the other. As the time vortexes fired up, I gave the rogues the finger. Suddenly, we were gone. Once again we were careening through time and space, towards an unknown destination.

Jerusalem, 0 AD

I lifted my head from the sand and sat up. Ms. Jones, Mr. FeBuggure, his...er...miniature clone, and Mr. Eastlick were on either side of me, dusting themselves off.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"I have no idea" Ms. Jones answered
I looked around. There was a small kiosk nearby, men in arab looking clothing were milling about.
"Judging by the clothing...and the dialect, probably the Middle East sometime in the...eh, long time ago era?" I deduced, my brain still fuzzy from those god forsaken drugs.

After Mr. FeBuggure concealed his Time Fridge (which he had brought with him to the exchange) we shambled over to the market. We obtained some period clothing and wasted no time heading into the city.

We're in 0 AD in Jerusalem
Where did everyone else land? Who are you with?
What's the paradox keeping us here?

Thanks Locke for helping me out with this!
