In reality, the unconscious Ultra Boy travels <a href="/wiki/Light-year" title="Light-year">light-years</a> through space until he is retrieved by the pirate ship <i>Antares</i>. He regains consciousness with no memory of his identity. The pirates' leader, Captain Frake, adds him to her crew when she sees him using his powers. Soon thereafter, the Legion answers a <a href="/wiki/Science_Police" title="Science Police">Science Police</a> distress call and attacks the pirates in orbit over <a href="/wiki/Pluto" title="Pluto">Pluto</a>. Despite the Legion Cruiser's superior power, the <i>Antares </i>escapes, largely because the amnesiac Ultra Boy is on her side.

Ultra Boy turns against the pirates when the Legion locates the <i>Antares</i> again and the ship is destroyed. Frake tries to destroy the Legion Cruiser using a radiation weapon.

The other Legionnaires are captured by the military. </p><p>The implosion of the Molecule Master restores Superboy to normal. As Phantom Girl leads her teammates through trans-dimensional space back toward Earth, Dawnstar senses a familiar presence. Using her tracking powers, she locates Ultra Boy—alive but immobilized by a strange aura. He explains that the explosion of the pirates' power crystal propelled him backward in time, in a ghost-like state. Travelling back to 20th century Smallville, he tried to enlist Superboy's help, but unintentionally superimposed his memories over those of the Boy of Steel. He tried to use the A-bomb test to break free, but only succeeded in further scrambling their memories. Upon travelling back to his own century, Saturn Girl's hypno-pathic command over Superboy asserted itself, subconsciously forcing him to create the Reflecto identity. </p><p>Using nearby radioactive rock, Superboy frees Ultra Boy. Meanwhile, Lana uses her Bio-Ring to become Insect Queen and attempts to free the jailed Legionnaires. Just as the military is about to defeat her, Superboy's group arrives and frees their teammates. The heroes travel to Bgztl, from which Superboy and Ultra Boy bypass the Trapper's Iron Curtain and return the group to their own era. They attack the Trapper in his Citadel and defeat him—for the time being.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Saturn Girl mentally erases Superboy's knowledge of the circumstances surrounding his parents' deaths,<sup id="cite_ref-kentdeaths_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-kentdeaths-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and he returns to his time period, where he plans to explain things to the President of the United States and obtain a pardon.
