==Original timeline==
==Story==
Lavos erupts from underground and sprays [[Destruction rains from the heavens!|explosive spines]] into the atmosphere, which fall on the entirety of the planet's crust and wipe out almost all of life and human civilization. The planet becomes practically uninhabitable, and humans must rely on what little food they can find to survive, as well as use [[Enertron]]s to rejuvenate themselves. Even the landmasses seem to have changed shape.

Many of the robots that "survive" the Apocalypse come under the control of [[Mother Brain]] and begin to take over the world.

Three time travelers appear to stop Lavos from destroying the world. They defeat Lavos's crust and then move into its innards to defeat "Inner" Lavos and then the Lavos Core. Thus, the Apocalypse is prevented.

1999 AD has a futuristic metropolis appearance. It is similar to [[Present]] other than the fact that the cities are in domes, and areas of ruins cover the landmasses.

==Accessing 1999==
==Gameplay==
===Accessing 1999===
1999 AD is the only major time period that is not directly available to explore. If the party travels to this time, it is forced to engage Lavos in battle. The party can access Lavos via a bucket in the [[End of Time]] that acts similarly to a regular [[Time Gate]], via the teleporter to the right at the [[Millennial Fair]], via the [[Epoch]], or by defeating [[Queen Zeal]] at the end of the [[Black Omen]]. If accessed via the [[Epoch]], the vehicle crashes into Lavos, entirely avoiding the battle with its shell, but this removes the [[save point]] and Time Gate inside Lavos.

Upon reaching access to the [[Dead Sea]], Serge and the party discover a dimensional distortion consisting of various destroyed futuristic cities surrounding a large tower made of fused buildings, all laying with in a sea frozen in time.

The sequence then shows the planet in its entirety (as seen from space). It goes gray and a message appears: "But... the future refused to change." In the DS version, it says: "In the end the future refused to change."

==Notes==
==Trivia==
*Due to its unplayable nature, little is known about 1999 AD. From [[2300 AD]], it can be deduced that the [[Guardia]] line has some amount of control over [[Arris Dome]], as [[Doan]] lives there in 2300.

*Only about a quarter of the 1999 world, the quadrant in which Lavos erupts, is actually complete. There is a video on YouTube (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPSR6cqJVkc) where 1999 AD's map is explored. Based on the "location" of the domes, it can be assumed that the Guardia Kingdom eventually relocated into a large Truce-Guardia dome; likewise, Porre relocated into a similar-sized dome. In addition, on the "central" continent, approximately where Medina is, one can see a very technologically advanced facility which is different from everything else. It could be assumed this is the location of Chronopolis. However, since the developers never wanted anyone to explore this area (and it's accesible only via codes), the nature of all of these domes and their locations is unverifiable and cannot be taken as canonical.
