Time Force: Attack of the Robots

Chapter 16: Enter Mrs. Grunion

Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny arrived at Mrs. Grunion's bedroom early the next morning. It was empty, and they had to observe the area inside when they got there. But suddenly, Mrs. Grunion jumpscared them and started to freak out a little bit. She crashed onto the floor, thus getting caught by the Time Force members' eyes. "Well, well, well..." she said, "what have we here?" "We are the Time Force!" said Margo. "And nobody..." Antonio said. "NOBODY," said Sherman. "Breaks the force!" finished Penny. Then, they started to surround Mrs. Grunion as quick as bunnies.

"We're here to vanquish you!" said Sherman. Just then, the camouflage potion wore off at once. "Very impressive trick!" Mrs. Grunion said to the Time Force members. "This camouflage potion doesn't last long," moaned Sherman. "No, I don't think so," replied Penny. "Seriously, we were blending in with our surroundings until Mrs. Grunion got tricked by us." "Did you say, 'get tricked by us?'" asked Mrs. Grunion, thoughtfully. There was a long silence.

Just then, Mrs. Grunion pulled out a tranquilizer and thought of a way to dart the Time Force members for some sort of way to knock them out. "Did you just draw your tranquilizer at you?!" Margo said as she stood up to her. "Foolish villain." Sherman was puzzled, and then he gasped. "Cinders and ashes!" he cried. "I must've seen that tranquilizer with my very eyes! You couldn't dart us if you tried." Just then, Mr. Peabody bustled in. "Not so fast, Mrs. Grunion! You will be put under arrest and Sherman and Penny will not rest until you are in prison!" He was very cross. Mrs. Grunion laughed evilly, and the Time Force members snarled furiously at her. But then, all of a sudden, Mrs. Grunion darted the Time Force members on the butts. Then, Mr. Peabody got his revenge on her by gripping onto her arm with his teeth as furiously as he could. Then, the Time Force members gasped. Mr. Peabody had gripped hard onto Mrs. Grunion's arm like a big, bad wolf trying to grip hard with his teeth. "Robots, I want these stupid fools out of my way and out of my fortress!" Mrs. Grunion said to the robots. "Ship them to one of our safe places on the planet." The robots put the tranquilized humans into the box, and shipped them into their plane.

When they got the box onto the plane, Mrs. Grunion had to fly the Time Force members back to New York City so that they would be in defeat by her. Then, the Time Force members had to think of a way to get out of the box quickly. "Ugh... where are we?" Margo wondered. "Oxygen content is low," replied Antonio, "I suggest we limit our breathing." Then, the sound of a honking horn broke the silence. "Aww, Sherman!" Margo said. And then, the Time Force members punched holes in the box to breathe for air. Then, Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny broke out of the box to find tranquilizer darts in their butts. "What did Mrs. Grunion do to us?" Antonio asked. "Look!" said Sherman. "She gave us badges!" "No, not badges," Margo corrected, "tranquilizer darts! Mrs. Grunion! That stupid supervillain is trying to kick us out of her fortress." "She thinks we can't save the humans, because we're just... humans," said Penny.

"Well, humans are OUR flesh and bones! They're us! And if ANYONE'S going to save us, it's us," said Margo. "But Margo, we've gotta be five miles up. That pretty much limits our options," said Antonio. "I make my OWN options," replied Margo. Then, the Time Force members took the tranquilizer darts out of their butts, and then they had to think of a way to escape the plane. Margo pressed the button, thus getting the Time Force members into the sky, where they are now five miles off the ground, now taking flight.
