*I do not own anything related to "Meet the Robinsons"*


April 26, 2037

I literally ran off my bed at 3:30 in the morning, onto the ramp, out of my room, and into the lab while doing somersaults up the stairs. I had in mind to check the machine of possibilities to see if the Bowler Hat Guy would change anything, but I found Carl there, shaking his head with worry.

"You left the garage door open, did you?" Carl asked, pointing a finger at me. I prepared to answer, but I hesitated, feeling embarrassed that Carl knew what happened. What surprised me next was him running toward me...and almost bumping into me.

"We have to tell your dad!"

"Carl!" I said, stopping him with both my arms. "What's the first rule in a situation like this?"

"Uh...close the garage door." Ooh, low blow.

"No, it's don't panic," I corrected him. "Now, we need to get the time machine back from that Bowler Hat Guy."

"Well, you're dead, and I'm deactivated," Carl exclaimed dramatically. "Nice knowing ya!"

"I can follow him in the prototype time machine," I thought out loud. "But we'll need to infiltrate the time laboratory security vault." I heard Carl gasp.

"You're gonna break into your dad's time lab?!"

"Yes," I answered, pointing a finger at my robot friend. "Now what's the fastest way to sub-level three?" Carl sighed before taking out a map of the basement.

"Let's see...sub-level three...okay, you'll need to take the 4:15 express, run the protectosphere to the third vault, jump through the spinning fan of death, turn right-NO WAIT!...I mean left." Carl paused and stared at me. "Are you sure you don't wanna tell your dad?"

"I'm sure!" I said impatiently.

"Right," Carl replied, continuing on. "After that, you just have to face the robot guardian, but he's nothing to worry about." Kick the ninja rabbit!

"Sweet, high five!" I said, before running off to get dressed for today. I did put on my signature outfit, but I also included a brown cloak so that hopefully no one will detect me out of the house. I got my scanner, disassembler, and chargeball glove ready, and I tied my Converse shoes.

I walked over to the travel tube and went to the train room to board Aunt Billie's train. Once I boarded, the train took off, going downhill. It was a nice ride for it being way too early in the morning. It took about fifteen minutes to arrive at the basement entrance. I got off the train, and I walked toward the receptionist at the desk. I destroyed the protective covering, and got power box running with a charge, and she was awake, despite it being way too early.

"Is it time to work already?" Evelyn, the female robot receptionist asked.

"Yes, ma'am," I answered.

"Have a nice day," she said, opening the doors for me. I nodded my head in thanks, and I proceeded. There were power grids everywhere in this first hallway, so I had to climb onto a decoration and onto higher ground just to get across and avoid the beams. I ran and jumped until I reached the edge, and I hid behind the wall as I spotted a camera bot. I fired a charge after concentrating, and the bot was activated, but I fired another charge to destroy it. Thinking I was safe, I jumped down and headed toward the main door to the time lab. However, when I pressed my hand against the scanner, I heard a booming voice.

"Wilbur Robinson is not permitted in the time lab." Of course, I'm not.

So I ran to the other door, but not before a levitation turret caught my attention. It started to shoot out levitation bubbles, but I was lucky enough to dodge them and destroy the turret with my chargeball at the same time. I was granted access to the next room, which was like a lounge. I tried to find a way in, but the next door was locked.

"Okay, Wilbur," I thought out loud. "Just think: what would grab a robot sentry's attention?"

I looked around until I found a water dispenser. I smirked, and I disassembled it. I then somersaulted to a wall, and 'hid' myself there while a maintenance bot came out to fix the dispenser. Taking my chances, I ran toward the door and got onto a platform, which took me up to the next floor. As I entered the next hallway after disassembling a fan, I remembered Carl said to use a protectosphere. I never saw one, so I started to wonder if the map changed. And there was a fat chance of me trying to jump through a spinning fan, so I prefer to just destroy it.

The hallway led me back to the room with the main door, but on a higher ground. I was forced to sidle along the glass guarding the prototype time machine due to me not having flight powers. I destroyed the next fan, and I was taken to the next room. And there stood a robot sentry.

"You are not permitted in this area," the robot sentry said, and he prepared to charge at me. I took a wild guess on how to destroy him by throwing a charge, and he screamed. I decided to scan him for more information, and I scoffed at the description: the robot sentry was designed to specifically recognize me.

"Please hold still and prepare to be-"

I destroyed the robot before he could finish talking. But I wasn't done yet; the Robot Sentry Terminal was turned on, and two more sentries showed up.

"Ah swell." I concentrated as the sentries fired balls of light at me, and I avoided them. I threw a charge at both of them at the same time, and they were destroyed within two shots. I started to run to the door until I heard something that was a little off.

"You are not permitted in this area."

"OH COME ON!" I exclaimed before turning around to see two more sentries. I tried to look for a way to destroy them other than using my chargeball glove over and over again, and I spotted the terminals. Yeah, I think I can do something about that.

"Please return to your room."

"Not a chance, robot chumps." I somersaulted over to the terminal, and I placed my hand with the chargeball glove on the computer. I placed a small charge on the computer in order to fry it.

"Oops," I said with an innocent smile. I then somersaulted and dodged the sentries' attacks and did the same thing to the other computer. I was then able to finish off the sentries before continuing on through the door and climbing up Robinson technology ladders...along with destroying some levitation turrets along the way.

I entered a huge room where there were, of course, security turrets and laser scanners. I went into the next room to destroy the security camera bot and levitation turrets before disabling the beams. I quickly ran through the main portion of the room and into the hallway leading to the main core of the basement.

The next step was to take out the fans and the hand scanners to make balconies. The view looked really cool from the one I came out of, but I had no time to sight-see. I jumped from balcony to balcony, and eventually onto a few pipes where I found a small ladder to climb down. I found a door, but it was locked, so I had to destroy the power box and charge the power up to unlock the door. There was one catch, however: two camera bots showed up, the alarms were triggered, and two robot sentries showed up.

Can there be one occasion when robots aren't gonna go behind my back?

Of course, I shocked the robots into oblivion with my chargeball, and I went through the door and down the elevator. But I was greeted by...more camera bots and robot sentries! Only this time, only one of them was a normal sentry while the other one was more advanced with armor. I only concentrated on the armored sentry and how to destroy it when I got hit by a beam! The same beam also happened to destroy the scanner in the process, so I was left wondering how to defeat the armored sentry without using the scanner. The armored sentry got really close and I fired a charge at it, but it didn't do any damage. It did, on the other hand, backfire and destroy the normal sentry. I flipped backwards a few times, but the armored sentry continued to come closer. It fired a red beam of light, I dodged it, and when he wasn't looking, I karate-kicked it. At that second, I noticed that there was a crack in his armor.

That's it! The disassembler!

I took my disassembler out of my backpack and fired it at the sentry, and he screamed in pain as I continued to karate kick him off the bridge. I put away the disassembler, and I paged Carl.

"Are you at the time lab yet?" my best friend asked as I sighed.

"No, but the scanner's broken," I explained. "Dad's security measures got high. Is there any way to fix it?" I heard Carl sigh.

"I'm gonna have to take some time to fix it. Now don't you have a time machine to get?"

"I know, but what am I supposed to do without a scanner?" I asked.

"You have to go and shut down the laser scanner," Carl explained. "Use concentration on your disassembler and your chargeball to do so. You should be able to find your way from here."

"Wait, Carl," I chimed in, thinking of an idea to fix the scanner. "If I remember correctly, there's a transmogrifier by the time lab doors."

"That's not gonna help fix the scanner," my robot friend answered. "It's only to build things. I actually have to fix the scanner, even while you go to the past to stop the Bowler Hat Guy."

"Great," I sighed. "That's just great. Well, here goes."

I went to where Carl told me to go and concentrated as I fired both my disassembler and my chargeball to shut down the laser. I went back to the soda platform, and I turned it on, allowing me to cross. The more I continued to cross the soda platforms, the more the security arrived, more likely the armored sentries than the plain ones. There were some times when I used both my disassembler and my chargeball, and there were times when I used my disassembler and my feet and hands. I eventually reached the elevator that would take me back up to the second floor of the basement, and there were more platforms that I had to cross...and more sentries to destroy. The further down I went, the easier it got. That is, until I reached the door to the next corridor. I walked into the next corridor, and Jacob, the male robot receptionist, somehow turned his office in the room under this one, and two camera bots appeared and set off the alarms for two sentries to show up. This time, karate-kicking them off a bridge was not an option. I had to try to use my disassembler, use my chargeball, and dodge their attacks all at the same time. It was really hard as I was zapped for the second time, but nothing was destroyed, and I defeated the two.

I groaned as two more camera bots appeared. I did the same process, but I was getting tired. I was somehow being pulled up in the air, and I realized that I got hit by one of the sentries' moves. I remembered that if I concentrated hard enough, my charge ball glove would release a powerful charge to get you out of a situation. Not only did that destroy the levitation shield, but it also destroyed the two sentries in the process. The door was opened, and I got into the generator room.

"I'm almost there, Carl," I paged. "I just need to open the door to the time lab."

I found an open door that lead me to more security measures-laser beams. There was one coming toward me and another one was going from right to left. I had to do a ton of flips just to get through those, and I entered a room with a generator lens. But something wasn't right: it wasn't activated.

Now why isn't it...wait a minute!

I listened for the silence, and I heard three camera bots approaching me. As they set off the alarm, I jumped up and passed a charge into all three of them. But it wasn't enough for the three robot sentries-two armored and one normal, to come and fire beams at me. Man, was I thankful for my mom's karate lessons! This was the hardest battle yet, since I once again had to use hard concentration. I kept using flips and my chargeball at the same time as well as my disassembler and once in a while my foot.

After five minutes, all three robot sentries were eventually destroyed, and the generator lens popped up. I took a close look at its mechanisms and the beam of red light, and I fired a charge at the lens. The charge went through the lens into the generator. I walked back to the travel tube as the door behind me was closed, and it took me back to the generator room. I went through the second door and I had to do the same thing, only this time, there was a levitation turret in the middle of the floor, and there were three laser beams: two were headed toward me while the other one was going from left to right. I didn't bother finishing off the turret and just went straight into the next room. Unfortunately, I had no time to concentrate, for the two camera bots already set off the alarms. Not only did two armored sentries show up, but there were two laser turrets as well. I decided to destroy the turrets with my chargeball glove first before confronting the robots...all while avoiding their levitation attacks. The turrets were destroyed, and I was lucky enough to kick a sentry before he fired at me. I gave him a crack in his armor, and I continued to punch and kick him in the areas where there was no armor. With the other sentry, on the other hand, I disassembled his armor and blasted him to oblivion with my chargeball. The lens opened up once again, and I fired a charge at it, powering up the generator to finally open the door to the time lab.

I approached the travel tube, and I was once again back in the main generator room. I ran into the time lab and somersaulted onto the ground instead of taking a step down the one stair.

"Carl, I've reached the time lab," I said into my comlink.

"The prototype time machine should be straight through those doors," Carl replied as I started walking toward them. "Hmm, that's weird." I had a weird look on my face.

"What?"

"You should've encountered the robot guardian by now." I had noticed that it was too quiet in the lab...that it until I jumped at a loud noise. I looked up to find...an enormous robot guardian! I was freaking out at this point.

"Carl, Dad upgraded!"

"That's right, he did mention something about-OH NO!"

"I'll call you back," I said as I walked toward the robot guardian.

"Wilbur Robinson is not permitted in the time lab," the robot guardian said in his booming voice as he prepared to attack me with his eye-laser.

"What-evs," I shouted back as I dodged the laser. I looked for a way to at least weaken the robot guardian, since I had no scanner at the moment, and I found three generator lenses in front of him, all lit up.

Bingo. I fired a charge at the one to my left, and the charge went to him, screaming in pain and being pushed back to the first door. And all of a sudden, all the activator switches had no power!

"Oh great," I mumbled. "How am I supposed to give the lenses power?" I looked for a way while avoiding the laser beam, and I just started to fire my chargeball at random items. I continued to fire until I hit something that made the floor lit up. I stared at the ground, and I saw a blue line heading toward the generator lens in the middle!

That's it! I ran to the other side of the chamber to fire a chargeball at the other blue activator switch, and the generator lens was lit up enough for me to strike at it and the robot guardian in the process.

Two down, one to go. I continued to run back and forth, firing at the two red activator switches that led to the lens in the right. That lens lit up, and I fired. The robot guardian screamed very loudly and collapsed, and thinking that I won, I ran across the room to the next chamber. But I was really confused.

Okay, where's the time machine?

"Your father will not permit this!"

I turned around to see the robot guardian standing behind three more generator lenses.

"Aaah what?!" I screamed in pain as his laser hit my bare left hand, but it didn't stop me from hitting the two red activator switches...and from avoiding the missiles that were aiming at me from all over the place. The two switches led me to the lens in the middle, and I fired at it...while the robot guardian was in special attack mode. The robot screamed in pain, and I smirked. Unfortunately, he once again went into his special missile attack mode, and I had to dodge every missile just to hit the two yellow switches that led to the lens on the left. I hit the lens and the robot guardian as he did his laser attack, and he, again screamed. The last two switches, the blue ones, were easy enough to hit, and they led to the lens on the right, which was a little harder to get to because of all the missiles. I fired the charge again, and the robot guardian collapsed...again. I ran into the next chamber, and I finally found the time machine! But something wasn't right; there was a shield around the time machine.

"I'm warning you, Wilbur Robinson!"

"Oh come on!" I exclaimed as the robot guardian, once again, appeared in front of me...and guarding the way to the time machine. He did his laser attack as usual, but what he did next was so incredible and harmful at the same time: he spun around to form a huge levitation shield for me to get in, and it was electrified. I was screaming in pain the first time, and then he let me go. I collapsed on the floor, and I moaned as I crawled up to the generator lenses and destroyed the shielding with my disassembler...all while being on the floor in pain and being fired at. Just as I was crawling to throw a charge at the yellow activator switches, I did a log roll on the floor while avoiding all the missiles. I finally managed to concentrate and fire at that generator lens on the left side, and the robot guardian screamed.

I got up off the floor, but I wobbled at first because I was a little weak from the electricity. My left hand felt worse than it did in the first chamber, and so I had to do flips with only my right hand to activate the blue switches. I managed to avoid his levitation attack just as I threw a charge at the lens on the right.

The robot guardian was, once again, in his special missile attack mode, and I managed to light up the red activator switches on both sides while avoiding the missiles and his laser. Before I fired at the middle lens, I noticed that I was still wearing my brown cloak. The robot guardian started his levitation attack, and I thought of an idea.

"If you want me," I yelled. "You might wanna catch me!" As the robot guardian spun, I spun, taking off my brown cloak to show my Captain Time Travel shirt, blue jeans, black Converse shoes, and my black cowlick, and I tossed the cloak into the shield as I flipped out of the way. I concentrated on where the charge was going to hit, and I released it, hitting the lens, and destroying the robot guardian once and for all.

The shield for the time machine was finally taken down, and I walked up to it, admiring her beauty. I pressed the two buttons next to the time machine, and the glass window was going down. I hopped on the wing of the red prototype time machine, and the elevator started to rise, hopefully leading to the garage. I decided to page Carl in case he was worried about me, but I think it was more like me worrying about him because he was screaming.

"WHY?"

"Carl, Operation Subterranean Infiltron is complete. Meet me in the garage." The elevator continued to rise, and I eventually showed my face...without the cloak, in the garage where Carl was standing.

"Is there anything Wilbur Robinson can't do?" I asked with a smirk as I tossed my robot friend the broken scanner so that he could fix it.

"Well, there's clean your room," Carl started counting the many things I don't do. "Be on time, tell the truth, put your clothes away-"

"I'll get the time machine back from that Bowler Hat Guy," I said, settling down into the prototype machine and waving at Carl. "So long, Carl!" I saw Carl give me a thumbs up as he continued the list of things I don't do.

"-sit still, eat your veggies-"

The time machine roared to life, and I flew it out of the garage into the sky as I punched in the date of when my dad's career was started. I hoped it wasn't too late!


I'm so sorry for the delay in updating. This chapter was actually really hard to write. I'm on vacation and wasn't playing the game, so I had to rely on a Let's Play walkthrough on YouTube to know what was going on. However, I did add a few things in there. For example, the scanner never broke in the game. As a player, you actually need the scanner to not only give you rewards, but to also help you out on how to defeat your enemies. The cloak part was made up as was the levitation attack that the robot guardian used. Any other questions? Just let me know! Thanks for reading! :)
