"We need more soldiers to deal with Mrs. Grunion's attacks," said Sherman. "Good thinking, Agent Peabody," Riley said, thoughtfully. "It's important that we need more soldiers to take on the big villain." Sherman went off to find more soldiers to recruit into the Time Force. Meanwhile, Margo and Antonio were searching for enemy signals in the command center and hadn't found what they spotted. "The system is picking up an enemy signal," Antonio said. As they began to work on detecting enemy signals, Margo and Antonio searched for bugs on the computer system. "Any luck finding a signal from the enemy?" asked Margo. "Not yet. We're still looking," said Antonio.

The Time Force members had to find multiple enemy signals so they would get a good shot at putting together the plan. Sherman was busy, searching for soldiers to work in the Time Force Headquarters somewhere in New York City. He kept searching and searching, but no one was anywhere to be found. That stupid old signal, he thought. He was remembering the time he had misunderstood a signal and gone backwards instead of forwards. By the end of the afternoon, he felt tired and unhappy. He returned to Mr. Peabody's penthouse where Mr. Peabody was waiting for him.

"Hello, Sherman," said Mr. Peabody. "You look tired." "Yes, Mr. Peabody, I am. I don't know if I'm standing on my legs or on my feet," said Sherman. "You look the right way up to me," laughed Mr. Peabody. "Cheer up. Penny will help you find more soldiers and she will follow your lead wherever you two go." Sherman felt much better after hearing this. Penny teleported to Mr. Peabody's penthouse and saw Mr. Peabody and Sherman, talking with each other. She waited patiently until the conversation ended. Then, Sherman and Penny came to each other.

The two humans went off to Sherman's bedroom to have a conversation with each other and they sat next to each other on Sherman's bed. "Any luck finding more soldiers to work for the Time Force?" asked Penny. "Not yet, I'm still looking, though," said Sherman. "Seems to me that we should work together to find more agents to join the Time Force and we can get a good shot at this." "I might have known there might be someone who can help us," said Penny. Sherman and Penny held hands as tightly as they could, and they stayed together and kept their conversation going. "How long did the Time Force start?" Penny wanted to know. "It started last year, when we formed an alliance with Margo and Antonio," Sherman replied. "In fact, it appears that we are like a quartet of superheroes going undercover to solving the mysteries of crime scenes." "Mrs. Grunion is the criminal mastermind we found," said Penny. "And if we can catch her red-handed, we will bring her to justice right away." Sherman chuckled. "I don't get it..." he said.

Penny continued, "We must make sure we get enough people recruited into our operation so we can protect the world from criminal masterminds. It'll be a lot of hard work to do, but we must make sure we get back on track to defeating Mrs. Grunion in time." Then, Sherman told her, "I know sometimes we are failing, but we will not give up on the mission to saving the world. If there's anyone who can recruit more agents into our elite unit, it has to be us." Sherman and Penny smiled as they held hands tightly, and the two humans began to kiss each other on the lips after closing their eyes just enough. When they pulled away, their lips formed happy smiles as they came together. "I love you, Sherman," said Penny. "I love you too, Penny," replied Sherman. Then, they hugged and kissed each other again. Suddenly, they heard a voice calling. It was Mr. Peabody.

"Sherman! Penny! Come out of there!" The two humans pulled away and walked down to see him at the kitchen. "Why did you want us?" Sherman and Penny asked. "I wanted to see both of you so you two can make a plan to get more people into your elite unit," said Mr. Peabody. Not long ago, they had recruited a director for the elite unit. Sherman and Penny enjoyed working together in the Time Force.

"We have to find more elite soldiers to work in this Agency," said Sherman. "And then we can find a way to stop Mrs. Grunion and her robotic army from conquering the world." And Penny told him, "Yes, but this will take a lot of work for us to do. We'll need to work together to find more soldiers into our Agency so we can get a good shot at it." Then, the two hurried away to find Margo and Antonio. They drove off in their car to reach the New York City School of Performing Arts right away. Later, the pair found Margo and Antonio, working in the command center.

That evening, a big storm raged across the city. The Time Force members were working in the command center, trying to get more evidence put in. "We're sure to be safe with each other," said Margo. "It's bound to set up our plan to saving the world from dangerous villains." And she was right. The Time Force members had to put together their discussion by huddling up first. "Everybody, huddle up!" Margo said. And then, the Time Force members huddled up to discuss their plan to defeat Mrs. Grunion.

"Alright, guys, this is it," said Margo. "The mission we've been preparing for our ENTIRE lives. We're going to take down Mrs. Grunion or die trying. What should we do to get ready for this mission?" "I think," began Sherman, "we should equip ourselves with armor and get the laser blasters ready so we can gear up." And Margo said, "I think so, too. How would we equip ourselves so we can be covered up?" "We need to get powerful armor so we can battle Mrs. Grunion and her robots," replied Sherman. And Penny told them, "It's up to us to win this war against the big villain. We need to work together as a team so we can get a good shot at it." "I like the way you put it, Penny," said Margo. "I totally agree with Margo," said Antonio. "Sounds like when Mr. Peabody sucks up one of my powerful items in the vacuum cleaner," said Sherman. They talked and talked until they formed a plan. "I think that will work," said Antonio. After the discussion was over, the Time Force members dropped off for bed to get plenty of good rest for the night.

Next morning, the Time Force members woke up to find out that Mrs. Grunion is attacking the school building above the headquarters. They were very cross. The four humans needed to find a way to take down Mrs. Grunion and her robot army so they would get a good shot at it. "Come on, guys," said Margo. "We need to find a station to capture the bad guy and her robotic minions!" "What a plan," said Sherman. "Simple, yet insane!" Then Riley, the director, spoke to them. "We have to continue our adventure ahead of us. It means we have to work together to get more soldiers recruited into this Agency."

All went well as they found more soldiers: the Guardians, which consisted of Bunnymund, Nicholas St. North, Jack Frost, Sandman, and the Tooth Fairy. Then, they brought them into the Headquarters for a confidential meeting. They brought in the members of Big Hero 6 as well as Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf the Snowman for the important meeting inside the command center. Antonio banged his hammer on his desk and said, "Will this meeting please come to order?!"

When everyone was quiet, Antonio asked, "Does anyone know how we can get a good shot at defeating Mrs. Grunion?" "I think we should work together to set the traps," Bunnymund suggested. "It will take a lot of time to build the traps so we can lure her away." "But we must do something to defeat the bad guys in time," Sherman and Margo said at the same time. There was a long silence. "I propose," began Jack Frost, "that we need a deputation." Elsa and Anna were stunned at first, but then they spoke up. "Looks like we need to cooperate on this mission," said Elsa. "We'll work together. A way to defeating the bad guys will always be provided," Anna interjected. Then, Sherman said, "Haha... I don't get it..." The meeting continued, and Jack Frost suggested, "Maybe we should build a bigger army of soldiers in the elite unit." And Elsa told him, "It'll be a lot of work to get us moving forward for the battle against Mrs. Grunion."

As soon as the meeting was over, the Time Force members hear a blasting sound. It was Mrs. Grunion, attacking the mainframe of the Time Force. She came into the system for a call they received from her. "Mwahahahahaha! Greetings, Time Force! I'm back!" she said. "Mrs. Grunion! Don't you ever learn? You'll never defeat the Time Force!" Sherman said crossly. "We'll see about that, Sherman," Mrs. Grunion said. "I wanted to show you this!" And she moved the camera towards her army of robots she built in her lair. After the call ended, everyone started getting to work on getting everyone together.
