Goddard has just arrived in the Cretaceous Period! The search for Roxy is on!

Goddard had to take a moment to get himself re-oriented, but when the light cleared, he found himself in a hot and humid jungle. He knew that he had managed to get to the right period in time, but he didn't know where to start looking. He checked the timer on his internal sensors and saw that he had only six hours, fifty-nine minutes, and forty-four seconds to find Roxy before he would be taken out; and if that happened, he would never get the chance to see her again. He thought a moment. How was he going to find her? Would the League of Villains be trying to escape? Had they done that already? And if they had, had they taken Roxy with them? It made Goddard sick to think of such a wonderful girl forced to be in the presence of such jerks. Then his determination returned. He unfolded his new flying rig, and fired up the engines. A geyser of fire shot out from his two engines and he shot up into the sky.

Once in the sky, Goddard looked around. There had to be some way that he could check everything at once. He activated his super scanner and programmed it to feed information directly to his visual sensors. He thought for a moment; surely he had some time to test how his new flying rig was working. He pulled a few barrel rolls and a couple of loops before saying, "Wow, this new rig is perfect for flying!" He then tested what his top speed would be. He fired the engines to maximum thrust and took off across the sky. Despite being a robot, he could actually feel the wind on his head, and thus he was sure that he was going at a fantastic speed. Sure enough, when he checked the speedometer, he saw that he was now reaching a top speed of four hundred and forty-four miles per hour! "Excellent!" he shouted, "With this speed, I'll reach Roxy in no time!" He opened his throttle to full and zoomed off through the skies. He knew that this was a do-or-die situation, and that he had to give it his absolute best. He would never forgive himself if he didn't.

It was several hours later that Goddard landed in an enclosed area. He retracted his flying rig into his body and laid himself down on the ground. After checking the timer, he saw that he had only three hours left to find Roxy. He was beginning to lose hope. "Oh Roxy," he said out loud, "What will I do without you? I'm so alone and I need you by my side!" He began to despair when suddenly, he heard a somber sound. It was a whimpering noise. Goddard snapped to attention. He couldn't quite distinguish what it was. His curiosity was now going up. He had to find out what that noise was. He walked over to some rocks and used his acute audio sensors to determine where the sound was coming from. Then he used his ears to lift himself up over the rocks. According to his audio sensors, the source of the noise was just over the rock. He peeked over the top of the rock, and the sight that met his visual sensors was a beautiful alien dog. There was no doubt about it, there she was! "ROXY!" he shouted. In an instant, he lost control of himself. His ears stopped spinning and he fell down to the ground, banging himself on the rocks several times before he landed right behind Roxy. Roxy yelped and jumped to her feet in shock. She had not been expecting anything like that. When she regained herself she saw a pile of metal that looked oddly familiar. "Who are you?" she asked angrily, bearing her teeth. Goddard felt a little stupid to have disturbed her like that. It certainly wasn't the way he had wanted their reunion to be. "Roxy," he said, "Don't you remember me?" Roxy calmed down a little bit. "Well," she said, "There is something about you that seems vaguely familiar. You remind me of someone I met a long time ago." "It's me," Goddard said as he pulled himself together and stood up, "Goddard." "Goddard?" Roxy asked, "I seem to recall hearing that name somewhere before." "Then you do remember me!" said Goddard. "And you remember what happened too?" Roxy stood still for a moment; then she grunted and shut her eyes. Goddard didn't know what was going on with her. Roxy made some odd noises, like she was in pain. Though more likely she was remembering something painful. Goddard watched nervously as she went through her routine. It was true; Roxy was remembering everything that had happened. She remembered how she had fallen in love with Goddard and how she had been taken away from him. That cruel twist of fate that had broken her heart. Then finally Roxy stopped shaking and opened her eyes. A huge smile broke out around her muzzle and at first Goddard didn't know what to think. Then Roxy shouted, "GODDARD!" and threw herself at him. That's when it hit Goddard, Roxy did remember him and she was so happy to see him again. He let her nuzzle his metallic skin, feeling his internal processing engine working overtime, just like a beating heart. "Oh Goddard!" said Roxy, "I hoped you would rescue me!" "Well," said Goddard, "I always knew that one way or the other, our paths would cross again." "I'm so glad they did." said Roxy.

"So," said Goddard, "Shall we get out of here?" "Yes," said Roxy, "But first there's something we need to do." "What's that?" asked Goddard. "Well," said Roxy, "For the past several weeks, the League of Villains have been looking for the Junkman's ship because it holds the key to getting back to your time." "Yikes!" said Goddard, "We've got to stop them!" "Right," said Roxy, "I managed to hide it, but I think they might find it soon." "Okay," said Goddard, "Then we need to destroy the ship for good and ensure that those villainous jerks can never return." "Exactly." said Roxy, "so will you help me?" Goddard thought a moment. He checked the timer and saw that there were two hours, fifty-four minutes, and six seconds before they would have to withdraw. "Do you remember where you hid the ship?" he asked. "Yes," said Roxy. "I can take you right to it." "Good," said Goddard, "Then let's go! We only have two hours and fifty-four minutes before we have to meet the time portal or else we're stuck here forever!" "Okay!" said Roxy. And with that, she raced off into the brush with Goddard following close beside her.

It's now a race against time!

Can they destroy the Junkman's ship…? Will they escape in time…? How will Jimmy react to Roxy…?
