Time Force: The Great Christmas Caper

Chapter 24: Battle for Lights, Part 3

It was snowing in the Scottish Highlands for several minutes. Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny were holding onto each other, and they were trying extra hard to stay warm together. Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private stopped by to see what was going on. "Why're you four humans so cold in the snow?" demanded Skipper. "We're trying extra hard to stay warm by hugging each other at the same time. That's the only way for us to stay warm," said Margo.

"Frankly, we could do with the exercise so we can prepare for the final part of the battle for lights," said Sherman. "Plus, this would not cause any confusion and delay at all if we get our butts out of this cave." "The only way we would get our butts out of the cave," Penny said, "is if we rush to Darkness's blackout generator as fast as our legs would carry us." "The last time this happened," Antonio added, "our butts were shivering in the cold temperatures outside." "And I guess this is why we must not get shivers down our butts while trying to warm each other up," agreed Margo. The Time Force never realized they were so cold.

"On second thought," said Kowalski, "all evidence indicates that we are too heavy for this mission." "I know just who to call," said Skipper. Just then, Skipper turned on his spy watch to call the Underdogs and the Four Townies to get over to the Time Force. Skipper's spy watch said, "Please stand by," and the static was hissing until Mei Lee's image appeared on the screen. "Come in, Agent Meilin Lee," said Skipper. "Hi, Skipper," said Mei. "Have you found the Time Force?" "Yes, we did. They were saying that they were seeing something that caused them to shiver a lot," said Skipper. "I find it hard to believe," said Mei as she was adjusting her glasses. "Even though it's hard to admit, we all have problems we run into. We have a lot of work to do so we can defeat Darkness."

"If Darkness is a top-secret villain," Skipper replied, "how can we know about him?" "We're spies, Skipper," answered Mei. "We have to do the job while being elite units of the elite." "And we are good at our jobs. Make sure you guys get over to the cave and get the Time Force to the battle arena," suggested Skipper. "Good thinking, Skipper. Meilin Lee out," said Mei. And the call ended just in time, and Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private continued to talk with the Time Force. "Skipper called the Underdogs and the Four Townies to tell them to get over to you four," said Private. "He did?" Penny said, shocked. "Yes, ma'am," said Private. "In case of an emergency indicating severe blizzards, place the heavy winter fleece coats over your bodies to warm up." And he was right. Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny took no notice and got their heavy winter fleece coats on as soon as the Penguins of Madagascar were ready.

"Okay, boys," said Skipper. "Bring in the Underdogs and the Four Townies!" "Ha!" said Rico. "Yes, sir!" said Kowalski. "Right away," agreed Private. So, Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private went off to find the Underdogs and the Four Townies. When they got to the Time Force jet, they saw Luca, Alberto, Giulia, Mei, Miriam, Priya, and Abby trying to warm each other up. "Skipper, the Time Force's plane!" shouted Kowalski. "Sweet chariot of the gods! But can you fly it, Kowalski?" asked Skipper. "There's only one way to find out," replied Kowalski. And so, Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private got the Time Force jet over to the nearby cave that Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny were occupying, and they landed it safely and steadily.

The four penguins found the seven Pixar friends and they led them towards the nearby cave that the Time Force was taking shelter in. While the Penguins worked to fix the Time Force's jet outside of the cave in the Scottish Highlands, Luca, Alberto, Giulia, Mei, Miriam, Priya, and Abby came to see Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny inside the nearby cave. The Time Force didn't know that the Underdogs and the Four Townies came to see them, and they were hopeful that they would help them out. And it wasn't too long before the humans took part in their A-Game to get a giant robot built that they would use for defeating Pitch Black in the battle for lights.
