Unknown Location

Belladonna was muttering to herself as she paced back and forth in a darken room.

Somehow, thought Belladonna, I will get rid of Chuckie, then my dear, flying nun cousin would have no one watching her back as I take over the Dog Heavens.

Just as she finished thinking, she stopped. Belladonna felt something coming, something that she wanted since its creation centuries ago. She let out a smile as she said to herself, "At last! It has finally appeared since that old wizard hid it. Now, I must see where it's going to appear and head there before anyone else".

Closing her eyes, Belladonna stood silent for only a minute before opening her eyes wide.

"There, huh?" said Belladonna, "It may be risky, but it's my only chance to get it, my only chance to gain victory,…my chance to change time". With that, Belladonna disappeared in flames.

Mammoth Corporation of Technology

"And so", said a business man to a room of employees, "I am happy to announce that through all of our hard work, Mammoth Co. was able to merge with two businesses and…"

While the man was speaking, another one was listening to the speech behind him. He was grinning as he surveyed the audience.

Enjoy yourselves now, thought the man, For soon, you shall all be obeying my every command as my dark army.

"Excuse me", said a woman with violet hair wrapped in a bun, "Mr. Copperton".

"Yes", replied the man.

"I must speak to you at once", said the woman.

Copperton took one last look at the audience and walked off stage with the woman.

"What is it, Sultrie", said Copperton, his eyes glowing yellow.

"Master", replied Sultrie, "I have great news for you. It may please you to know that getting our hands on Earth would be a lot easier now".

Copperton looked at Sultrie, then replied, "How?"

Sultrie, smiling, said, "By changing history".

Dog Heavens

"Are you sure about this, Annabelle?" said a chocolate Lab in a white room that looked like it kept items of great importance.

"Yes," said Annabelle, receiving a green gem from the Lab, "The Stone of Amalgamation may be the only way Charles may have to defeat ShadowMaster Copperhead".

"But, Annabelle", said the Lab, "You do realize that the Stone of Amalgamation could only be used when a certain connection between Charles and another soul could be formed?"

"What do you mean?" replied Annabelle, putting the stone away.

"I mean, Charles and the other host must have a certain preference for them to merge: strength, intelligence, friendship, and so on".

"Don't worry. Charles and his friends would be able to do it. I know they…"

Suddenly, like Belladonna, Annabelle froze. Instead of smiling like Belladonna did, Annabelle shook with fear.

"What's wrong", replied the Lab.

"OH NO!" replied Annabelle, "The sword is about to reveal its location"

"What sword?" responded the Lab, "What are you talking about".

"Sorry Francis, but I have to go warn Charles and get to the sword first", said Annabelle as she disappeared in a flash of light, leaving the Lab confused.

Canine Household

Charlie was holding a flat box that held an item inside. Opening the box, Charlie looked at a golden necklace with a bright green emerald in the center of it all. The necklace was beautiful, but Charlie sadly sighed. He had been thinking of proposing to Sasha and make her his wife, to love in this life…and the next; however, he had thoughts on letting Sasha go. With evil creatures like ShadowMaster Copperhead and Belladonna out there, Charlie didn't want to see Sasha or any of his friends hurt. He had headaches on thinking these things, but his heart sorted it out. It kept telling Charlie to not let Sasha go. Even if she is no longer with you, she would always be in danger. You are her light in this world, her warmth from the cold of evil, and her soul mate. Yet, Charlie didn't know if he should propose or not. Just then, he heard someone knock on the door.

"Charlie", said Sasha behind the door, "Are you coming to dinner?"

"Be right down, Sashy", replied Charlie. Charlie took one final look at the necklace and closed the box and hid it under the floorboards.

"Hopefully soon", said Charlie as he went downstairs to meet Sasha.

After having dinner, Sasha and Charlie laid by the fire, for it was a cold fall day, and were reading a book. Just then, a bright light lit the room more, making Charlie and Sasha quickly get up to see Annabelle, as pale as a ghost.

"ANNABELLE!" said Charlie as he and Sasha went to her, "What's going on? Is it ShadowMaster!"

Annabelle replied in a whisper, "Call…the…others".

In five minutes, Charlie and Sasha's living room was filled with dogs: Itchy, Bess, Flo, Jenna, Balto, Charlie, Sasha, and Annabelle.

"Thank you all for coming", said Annabelle, "But we must make it quick. A powerful artifact is about to reveal itself".

Everyone leaned closer to hear what Annabelle had to say.

"Pardon me for asking", said Bess, "But what's about to reveal itself?"

"The Tempus Blade", said Annabelle, "A sword that has the power to make the user wielding it travel through time and space".

"You mean, like a time machine", said Jenna.

"No", said Annabelle, "A sword that not only can travel through time, but to other worlds as well"

"What!?!" said everyone simultaneously.

"Yes", replied Annabelle, "The Tempus Blade was created by Merlin the Magician before he went to train young King Arthur. He wanted to experience future Earth rather than just knowing about it. His obsession to go into the future made him to create the Tempus Blade, or Sword of Time".

"Isn't that the name of the Master Sword from 'The Legend of Zelda'" replied Itchy.

"NO!" said Annabelle, "It may have the same name, but this sword is real. As I was saying, Merlin took five years creating the sword, but was unable to use it. He had to train Arthur to become the next king, so he hid the Tempus Blade in a cavern; unfortunately, Merlin feared the sword would fall into the wrong hands, so he bewitched the cavern to disappear, only to reappear in different locations every five hundred years. Belladonna wanted to get the sword, but I always stopped her before she got her filthy paws on it. Now, the Tempus Blade is about to make its next appearance…in the middle of Golden Gate Park".

"When is the sword going to appear?" said Flo anxiously.

"The cavern leading to the Tempus Blade will appear at dawn", said Annabelle, "So we must get there first before Belladonna can".

"Then what are we sitting around for", said Jenna, "Let's get going to the park".

Everyone was getting ready to leave, but Charlie had something on his mind as he looked upstairs to the room where the necklace hid, then to Sasha, who was hugging his forearm since Annabelle told the tale of the sword.

"Charlie", said Sasha, getting up, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, Sashy", said Charlie, quickly smiling, "Just having a quick thought, that's all".

"Now then", said Annabelle, "We must move on out to Golden Gate Park".

"You guys go ahead", said Charlie, heading for the stairs, "There's something I need to do. I'll catch up later. Don't worry, Sasha, I'll be fine. Go with the others".

As the others headed out, Charlie quickly went back to the resting place of the necklace, took it out, and made it glow blue before it disappeared. Then, Charlie went out the door and went after the others.

Golden Gate Park

"What did you have to do, Charlie?" said Itchy as Charlie caught up with them.

"Nothing, really Itch", said Charlie, "Just getting something I may need".

"Listen up", said Annabelle, "Here is where the cavern is about to appear in about…thirty seconds".

Just like she said, as soon as the sun began to rise, a shower of lights appeared out of nowhere. The lights began to merge together into a silhouette, then into a solid cave. The cave was big enough to only fit a bus or two, because inside the cave, they all saw a shining light, as bright as a star.

"That's it", said Annabelle, "The Tempus Blade".

"Thanks for the name recall", said a voice behind them, "I'll be taking it now".

Turning around, the canines came face to face with Belladonna, floating above them.

"Cousin", said Annabelle, "I thwarted your previous attempts to steal the sword, this makes no difference".

"Oh but it does", said Belladonna, grinning, "For you see, I knew you were going to tell Chuckie and his friends about this, so I brought company".

Belladonna snapped her fingers and the ground shook. Then, out of the ground, two giant grey ogres came popping out, each holding a club the size of a tree.

"Meet my Clay Ogres", said Belladonna, "Created by the clay of the Underworld and brought to life from my power".

Belladonna gave another snap and the ogres charged right for the canines. Acting quickly, Charlie unleashed a ball of light towards one of them, but it didn't even scratch them. Dodging out of the way, the dogs scattered in different directions. The ogres went for Annabelle and Charlie, who both fired orbs of light towards them, but nothing.

"Annabelle", said Charlie, "What should we do? Our attacks aren't doing anything".

Before Annabelle could say anything, Belladonna slipped past them and entered the cave.

"Charles", shouted Annabelle, "We have to stop her!" As she finished, an ogre swung at her, but missed by an inch from hitting Annabelle. Just as another ogre was about to take another swing at her, a rock hit its head. The ogre turned around and saw Jenna throwing rocks at them.

"Yo, rocks for brains", shouted Jenna, "Pick on someone your own size, better yet, your own IQ".

The ogre, forgetting about Annabelle, started to head towards Jenna.

"Jenna", yelled Charlie, "What are you doing?!"

"Distracting these guys while you guys go and stop Belladonna", responded Jenna, now running away as the ogre gave chase. Charlie looked around and saw that Balto got the other ogre to chase him too.

"We better hurry Charles", said Annabelle as she went inside the cave.

"At last", said Belladonna, "The Tempus Blade is mine".

She stared hungrily at the sword lying on a stone mound. The Tempus Blade was four feet long, its handle made from gold as the blade itself was silver. Strange engraving were carved into both the handle and blade, so it was beautiful to behold. Belladonna was about to grab it before she felt something sting her in the back of her head. She looked back and saw Annabelle and Charlie, both holding their paws and ready to strike again. Sasha, Itchy, Bess, and Flo were standing behind them.

"Don't you even touch it, cousin", said Annabelle, "You can't handle the power".

"OH yes I can", said Belladonna, "I have studied on how the blade works. With it, I can go back in time and…make Chuckie fail to retrieve Gabriel's Horn".

Everyone was shocked by what she was saying. If Charlie failed to get Gabriel's Horn, then Red would have succeeded in taking over the Heavens, but why that place? Belladonna saw their faces.

"If your thinking on why the Horn, then I'll tell you: I'll just stop past-Chuckie to hand the Horn to me, which would make me able to take over the Heavens. All I got to say is 'I can help you out on your predicament' and bingo, Chuckie becomes mine"

Belladonna was about to make a snag for the sword, but it was quickly taken away. Looking up, Belladonna came face to face with a figure in a black chest armor, its face hidden behind a cloak, and its mouth covered by a copper mask..

"COPPERHEAD!" shouted Belladonna, "GIVE ME BACK THE SWORD!"

Annabelle grew white when she saw ShadowMaster Copperhead holding the sword of time in his black, reptilian-looking hands. If Belladonna was bad, Copperhead was worse.

"I SAID GIVE IT TO ME!!" shouted Belladonna as she threw a green orb straight to ShadowMaster, but was deflected easily. Soon, Equi, Nox, and Sultrie appeared behind Sasha, Itchy, Bess, and Flo. Without even knowing it, Charlie rushed in front of the attackers.

"Well well", said Equi.

"Isn't this our lucky day", said Nox

"The whole gang is here for a reunion"

"Since the time at Alcatraz"

"Now, there's no place to run or hide"

"In this small cave"

Charlie, baring his teeth, was ready to attack anyone who showed signs of attacking, but they all stood still. Meanwhile, Belladonna kept hitting ShadowMaster with everything she's got, but ShadowMaster didn't move at all.

"Are you through", said ShadowMaster.

"Never…" said Belladonna, exhausted.

"Then allow me", said ShadowMaster, creating an orb of electricity and firing at Belladonna, who was knocked to the cave wall. Belladonna clutched her chest as she got up.

"Now", said ShadowMaster, "Time for a change in time".

Clutching the sword, the Tempus Blade began to glow, which caused high winds to emit from it. ShadowMaster was reciting an incantation, but then, Annabelle and Belladonna both fired orbs at ShadowMaster. Like before, ShadowMaster deflected the attacks with his free arm as he continued the incantation.

"CHARLES!" shouted Annabelle, "ATTACK SHADOWMASTER!".

Charlie turned around and saw ShadowMaster activating the sword. Quickly, Charlie fired an orb, but so did Annabelle and Belladonna. As the orbs traveled towards ShadowMaster, Charlie's orb hit them both and the attacks hit the Tempus Blade instead. The sword shook with violence that ShadowMaster's whole arm shook.

"FOOLS" shouted ShadowMaster, "LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE! CAN'T…CONTROL…IT!!"

Everyone forgot what they were doing as the sword shone bright and brighter, soon illuminating the cave. Before Charlie knew it, he felt himself being lifted and everything began spinning. Sasha felt the same thing, except she saw Bess next to her, closing her eyes from the light.

"BESS" shouted Sasha, "HOLD ON TO ME!"

Bess quickly opened her eyes enough to grab Sasha's paw. They both started to spin, seeing nothing but light, then everything went dark.
