Story

After routinely chasing Mandark out of his Lab when he tries to steal the "Neurotomic Protocore", Dexter is confronted with a group of robots that have appeared from his time machine. They declare that they are here to destroy the one who saved the future, and make ready to attack Dexter. Dexter easily destroys them with the use of various tools and gadgets from his lab. However, news that he is "The One Who Saved the Future" intrigues him, and he decides to travel through time to discover how cool he is.

The journey ultimately takes him through three periods of his life, and he must enlist the help of his future selves to battle against Mandark and save the future.

Ironically, after an epic battle between the Dexters and Mandarks, Dee-Dee saves the world. The Dexters-overcome with rage, create a group of robots and tell them to "destroy the one who saved the future", and send them back through the time machine to take care of Dee Dee, unwittingly setting the whole series of events in motion.
