 * "This time travel thing that we're gonna try and pull off tomorrow, it's... it's got me scratching my head about the survivability of it all. But then again, that's the hero gig. Part of the journey is the end."

Plot
Fred Flintstone (Fred Tatiascore), while under house arrest, trains his daughter Pebbles (Grey DeLisle) in archery at his homestead. Under his tutelage, she scores a bullseye and he congratulates her on her efforts. Nearby, Wilma (Elizabeth Perkins) prepares a picnic. Fred turns his attention away from Pebbles for a moment to respond to his wife, but when returns that attention back to Pebbles, she is gone. Surprised but visibly startled, he calls out to his family, but they too have vanished; victims of the Decimation.

Three weeks after the Decimation, Bob Parr ans Skylor are adrift in space aboard the Benatar. Nearly depleted of supplies, Parr uses the helmet from the Incredible Armor: Mark L to chronicle their possible final moments to Diana Prince before falling asleep. Skylor, having developed an unlikely friendship with Parr during their journey, places him in the pilot's seat and retreats into the corridors of the ship. Tony's sleep is disturbed by the arrival of the Crimson Chin who carries the ship back to the Ultimate Heroes Headquarters on Earth. Parr is reunited with Prince and the remaining Ultimate Heroes who survived, including Rapunzel, Gru, Lucius Best and Shrek. Parr tells Shrek that he lost Sonic upon seeing him. Zane sees Skylor alone and realizes that all his friends are also gone. The two sit together and hold hands in silent grief.

In the New Ultimate Heroes Facility, Shrek asks Parr if he has any clues as to where Will Smith may be, to which Parr erupts into a furious tirade stemming from unresolved issues between the two due to their civil war, telling him that if they had stood together, instead of apart then they may have been able to defeat Will Smith. After this outburst, he faints, exhausted and emaciated from his trip through space. Parr is given a sedative that will put him out for a day.

Returning to the topic on trying to find Will Smith, The Crimson Chin says she will reach out to her contacts on other planets. Skylor says there is no need because she knows where Will Smith is, referencing "The Garden" that Will Smith had planned to retreat to after achieving his goal. Based on her information, Zane pulls up a 3-D diagram of its location and states that when Will Smith used the stones on Earth, it let out a large burst of energy. The same signature, he states, appeared two days ago on a planet. With this new clue, the Ultimate Heroes set out to confront Will Smith to retrieve the Infinity Stones in hopes of bringing half the universe's population back, while Stark is left behind in the infirmary. Shaggy, blaming himself for what happened as he ignored his chance to kill Will Smith before he unleashed the Decimation, leads the team on their mission determined to make up for his mistake.

Tracking the signal to Will Smith's farm on the Garden, the Crimson Chin first heads onto the planet to scout the planet. She finds that no defenses exist and that Will Smith is alone and unguarded.

In his simple house, Will Smith goes about his daily routine however he is now seen to have been afflicted with horrific burns. Suddenly the Ultimate Heroes burst into the house, quickly pin an already weakened Will Smith down after which Shaggy severs Will Smith's left arm and Gauntlet completely with Stormbreaker. To the Ultimate Heroes' surprise, Will Smith's gauntlet does not contain any of the Stones.

Under interrogation, Will Smith explains that the Stones would offer "nothing but a temptation," should he keep them. He explains that after completing his goal, the Stones had served their purpose and thus why he used them to destroy themselves so that what he did could never be reversed. Ultimate Heroes accuse him of lying, to which Skylor responds that while her father is many things, he is not a liar. Will Smith thanks his "daughter" for believing him. Enraged, Shaggy swiftly decapitates Will Smith, killing him. When Zane asks what he has done, Shaggy replies that this time, he "went for the head"; referencing Will Smith's scornful remark on his failure to defeat him in Infinity War. The Ultimate Heroes are forced to accept that there is no way to bring back those who were lost.

Five years later and Earth's remaining population has attempted to persevere against catastrophic losses. The scope of the losses has traumatized the world and has stagnated much of their progress. Shrek now runs a support group for the citizens of New York who are trying to cope with surviving The Decimation and their losses. Bob is revealed to be living in a simple cabin with Diana and their young daughter Morgan and now feels a sense of peace despite the weight of what happened five years earlier.

In a U-STORE-It Self-Storage facility in San Francisco, A rat haphazardly activates the Quantum Tunnel in Candace's Van pulling Phineas Flynn out of the Quantum Realm, after escaping the self-storage. Being disoriented and confused, Flynn(who believes he was only gone for five hours) wanders the desolation of the city following the Decimation. Realizing something terrible must have happened, he comes across the Wall of the Vanished, a memorial site for listing the names of those lost in the Decimation. He frantically scans the names, hoping that he doesn't find his daughter's. Relief gives way to bewilderment as he doesn't find her name, but instead his own name. Arriving at his daughter's home, he is shocked when he is greeted by his daughter, now a teenager, and the two reunite in a tearful, joyful reunion and hug. After realizing that Ferb Fletcher, Perry the Platypus, and Dr. Doofenshmirtz were among the vanished, Pineas travels to the New Ultimate Heroes Facility in New York along with Candace's Van.

At the New Avengers Facility, Rapunzel is concluding a meeting with Skylor, What'evra W'anabe, the Crimson Chin, Zane and Best, regarding the continued repercussions of The Decimation throughout the universe. Following the dismissal, Best remains behind to give a status update regarding his former teammate and her friend, Fred Flintstone, who has been doing vigilante stuff in Mexico. Best suspects Flintstone is responsible for the deaths of multiple cartel members, which upsets Rapunzel. Despite his apprehension, Rapunzel pleads with Best to continue tracking the rogue Flintstone. Shrek enters the room and the two consuls each other, admitting that while they've now devoted their lives to helping others move on from what happened neither of them ever can. The gloomy mood is interrupted when Flynn arrives on the compound. While initially skeptical, the two realize that Flynn is indeed alive and welcome him into the facility. Upon arrival, he is greeted by Rapunzel and Shrek, his idol, and the three begin discussing the means of his survival where Flynn explains his own experience in the Quantum Realm and how they might use it to undo the events of the Decimation. The trio, with limited knowledge about the Quantum Realm and time travel, then seek out Parr.

At his lakeside home, Parr is enjoying quality time with his daughter when Shrek, Rapunzel, and Flynn, arrive. Parr immediately understands the nature of their visit but obliges their inquiry. When Flynn proposes the idea of a "Time Heist", Parr quickly criticizes the idea, fearing that altering the past could erase their very existence as it stands. Parr just wants to put the past behind him and tells them he's finished with the Avengers. Not wanting to give up, Shrek, Rapunzel, and Flynn leave and meet with Gru at a dinner. After the Decimation, and both Grulk and Gru's defeat at the hands of Will Smith, Gru restarted his research into Gamma Radiation and used it to morph his body to have the appearance and strength of the Grulk while retaining the intelligence and control of Gru. Despite his meager knowledge of quantum physics, claiming it was "outside of my expertise," Gru agrees to help them experiment with the idea.

While Parr is washing dishes he accidentally gets a picture of his dad wet, then he comes across a picture of himself and Sonic the Hedgehog. Being reminded of how he lost him on Titan all those years back, he uses F.R.I.D.A.Y. to run different possible configurations for time travel in the Quantum Realm. Despite hoping that he would fail, he discovers the key to it, solving how to navigate the time-travel stream using an inverted Möbius strip model. After having done so, he discusses with Diana about the morality of time travel and about what he should do with his latest discovery: whether he should lock it up in a box and throw it into the bottom of a lake or not. He feels that he and Diana were lucky that they were both spared and now have made an amazing life together, but he can't deny that everyone around them has suffered unimaginable horrors and did not get so lucky and should be helped. Diana encourages him to do what is right.

At the New Ultimate Heroes Facility, Gru, Shrek, and Rapunzel run an experiment with time travel by trying to send Flynn back in time. It only works to the point that they send Flynn's body back in time, turning him into a child, then an old man, and finally a baby before only just managing to restore him to normal. Shrek leaves contemplating outside of the building about what to do next. Parr, having a change of heart, shows up then to extend his helping hand and asks if the whole team is getting back together. Shrek told him they're still working on gathering everyone who's available together. Bob tells Shrek that he's agreeing to help on the one condition that trying to reverse what Will Smith did won't reset what has happened since, as he doesn't want to lose his daughter. Shrek agrees that's how it should be.

Skylor and Zane show up in the Benatar and so does Best in the process destroying Flynn's lunchtime taco. Gru and Zane head to New Scoobard in Tønsberg, Norway which is now home to the few Scoobians who are left. They meet up with Daphne who now works on the fishing docks, who tells them Shaggy is not doing well. Shaggy is revealed to have sunk into a depression following his failures; he has gained considerable weight, become an alcoholic, and spends much of his time playing Fortnite with his friends. Although Scooby tries to put on a carefree attitude, he nearly breaks down upon Will Smith's name being mentioned by Gru. However, Gru and Zane convince Shaggy to help them in time-traveling back in the past to find the Infinity Stones by offering him more beer.

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Flintstone is tracking a group of Japanese Yakuza members and dispatches them one by one. Also present on the scene is Rapunzel who approaches Flintstone in an attempt to recruit him and help her friend. At first, Flintstone wants nothing to do with the plan. But after some convincing by Rapunzel, by her offering him hope. Flintstone returns to the Ultimate Heroes' headquarters with Rapunzel.

At the Ultimate Heroes Facility, Gru and Parr have completed the construction of their own Quantum Tunnel and Advanced Tech Suit's and are preparing for test runs. Best argues the suggestion of traveling back in time to kill 'Baby Will Smith' to which Gru explains that altering events in the past will not alter the present but will instead create an alternate universe; leaving the only feasible course of action of acquiring the Infinity Stones to restore everyone in the present time. Believing himself to be expendable, Flintstone volunteers for the first time travel test and is transported to a time period on his farm before the Decimation. With disbelief and hope, he calls out to his daughter but is brought back to the present before she sees him. With the test proven a success, the Ultimate Heroes proceed with the next phase of preparation which is to determine the location of each Infinity Stone in the past. This presents a challenge as they possess a scarce supply of Doof Particles to operate with and no means of replenishing them with Heinz Doofenshmirtz, the creator, being one of the causalities of the Decimation, effectively limiting their travel to one trip.

As the team discusses their past encounters with the Infinity Stones, they manage to recall the placement of each Infinity Stone in time. Fortunately, they realize the Time, Space, and Mind Stones were all present in 2012 New York City, in relatively close proximity with each other, following the Battle of New York. However, the other three Stones were only accessible to them in entirely different places and times, with the Reality Stone being present on Scoobard in 2013, and the Soul and Power Stones being present in 2014 on Vormir and Morag respectively. With their targets located, the Ultimate Heroes split into three separate teams: Shaggy and Zane to Scoobard, Skylor and Best to Morag, Rapunzel and Flintstone to Vormir; and Shrek, Pa, Gru, and Flynn to New York.

In 2012 New York City, the team of Gru, Flynn, Shrek, and Parr review their mission objectives and disperse. Gru heads over to the New York Sanctum were he encounters Yoshi who says that Mario is not yet the Sorcerer Supreme. Gru tries to persuade her of his predicament, but in the end, fails to convince her to hand over the Time Stone. Yoshi educates Banner on the effects the Infinity Stones have on reality and possible ramifications that may result from the loss of just one. Though Gru makes a compelling argument, ultimately he convinces her when he reveals that Mario willingly relinquished it to Thanos, realizing Mario's actions were part of a bigger plan. Yoshi loans Gru the Time Stone and he promises to return it and the others once they've finished with them before departing for the Quantum Realm to rendezvous with the other Ultimate Heroes.

Meanwhile, Parr and Flynn infiltrate Parr Tower, as Scooby-Doo is being taken into custody. Realizing that their present situation presents no opportunity to steal the Tesseract, Flynn plants himself onto Parr's 2012 counterpart who is transporting the Tesseract. While S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who are undercover HYDRA agents are taking the scepter to one of the head executives. Parr then departs in the Incredible Armor: Mark LXXXV to the lobby area. However, the past Ultimate Heroes are comforted by Lex Luthor who wants to take the Tesseract from Parr. Phineas then causes a distraction by interfering with the 2012 version of Parr's Arc Reactor, allowing the present Parr to secure the Tesseract. However, as Parr attempts to exit the area, the 2012 version of Grulk bursts into the lobby from the stairwell, and causing Parr to drop the Tesseract. In the confusion, Scooby-Doo manages to retrieve the Tesseract and use its power to escape.
