Time Force: Attack of the Robots

Chapter 14: The Bridge of the Alps

When the Time Force members got to the Alps, they found no sign of life anywhere. It took the better part of the late afternoon for them to make their way across the mountains. "Close, but no cigar, Margo," said Sherman. "At least we can actually SEE the bobsleigh slope. And I guess this is preferable to being landed on solid rock or something." "Exactly! It simply wasn't safe to land right next to it, Sherman," replied Margo. "The bobsleigh is needed for us to take on our mission to find the way across the bridge. The bridge is covered in snow in the Alps. And as for the last auxiliary crossing, I think it's on its last legs." "We came to cross the bridge, yes? And then what?" Sherman asked. "Oh, that we need to take care of," said Margo. "Uhm, further energy sources within Mrs. Grunion's fortress. It's about five miles near here and we have to get inside. Sorry!" "We'd better get on with it, then," replied Sherman. And so, the Time Force members started off across the Alps.

When they found a steep area, they took caution as to be careful not to fall off the area. When they got to the top, they found a way into a cave. "And now, we found a way to get inside this cave," said Sherman as he saw some penguins in the view. "These penguins look cute and cuddly," said Margo. "What makes you think that?" Antonio wanted to know. "The penguins are even cute when they are walking across these mountains," replied Margo. And so, the Time Force members reached a safe place to set up their plan. "We need to think of a plan to reach Mrs. Grunion's fortress," said Penny as she stayed close to Sherman.

"The plan is," began Sherman, "we find a bridge that we need to cross so we can get to the bobsleigh area. We have to get around these mountains and then we can cross the bridge and arrive at the area where we are going towards the fortress." "I couldn't agree more," said Penny. And so, the four humans continued to sketch out the plan with a blue sheet of paper with some white colored pencils for the plan to take on the next supervillain. It was long into the late afternoon when Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny made their way to finding a plan to reach Mrs. Grunion's fortress.

Just then, Elsa and Anna bustled up. "Agents, why are you in this cave?" Elsa asked. "We're trying to think of a plan to get to Mrs. Grunion's fortress," said Sherman. "The only way to get there is to cross the bridge and bobsleigh all the way down the slopes to reach the fortress," added Penny. "It's not going to be easy, but we can do this together," Anna interjected, but Elsa told her, "Anna, no. We have to leave this to the professionals." Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny could hardly believe their ears. Suddenly, Margo's spy watch started beeping loudly. "Rats!" she said. "My spy watch is beeping. I'd better answer it." Margo proceeded to answer her spy watch, and it was Riley Andersen, the director of the Time Force, calling her. The spy watch said, "Please stand by." The static hissed, and then Riley Andersen appeared on the screen of the spy watch. "What's the latest news, director?" Margo asked. "We've placed Hiro and Baymax undercover where they are trying to find Mrs. Grunion in her secret fortress in the Alps," said Riley. "It seems to indicate that they need to find that criminal mastermind and take down her army of robots before you guys catch up to them." "If the other members of Big Hero 6 make it to them, how would all six of them work together?" asked Margo. "They must join forces with us to saving the world," answered Riley. "The world needs to be saved more and more so we can protect it at all costs." "And we are good at our jobs," replied Margo. "I'm in there like swimwear. Margo out." The call ended, and the Time Force members reached the next part of the mountains of the Alps.

When they found their way towards a bridge in the Alps, the Time Force members saw that the bridge was battle-damaged somehow. "Penny, analysis," said Margo. "All evidence indicates that it looks like an old bridge," said Penny, "No one's ever crossed it all the way across alive." Down below the bridge was a ravine holding a river that was lukewarm at 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

When they got to a cavern inside one of the mountains of the Alps, they had to find a key to open the bridge's gates right away. Just then, Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny saw a swarm of leopard seals that came out of nowhere. "Leopard seals! Nature's snakes," said Margo. "Aren't snakes nature's snakes?" asked Antonio. "How should I know? We need to drop down six feet to get that key," Margo replied. And so, the Time Force members slid down the pole, one by one, and reached the leopard seals trying to get to the key. Sherman grabbed the key just in time. "Atta-boy, Sherman! Don't let them have it!" said Margo. And so, Sherman put the key in his pocket. "Okay," Margo continued, "I guess that works." "Get the high ground!" Sherman cried out. And so, the Time Force members had to make their way towards the launchpad, which resembled a giant trampoline. They launched up to the top and found the slingshot. "Success!" Antonio said. "Quick, fire the slingshot!" "Nope, hold on," said Margo. "I recommend firing," Antonio said. "Not until we see them white of its eyes," replied Margo. When the white of the eyes of the leopard seals were spotted, they launched themselves out of the cavern and were flying away towards the bridge.
