"You!" Gadget glared at Thelma.

"Mr. Brown, who's that?" Sarah asked Gadget.

"That's her!" Gadget told Sarah "The one who wants to kill Arnold!"

"That's right!" Thelma pointed a gun at Gadget and his allies "And once I take out you and your relative out, you'll be no more!"

"We've got to stop her!" James went to attack Thelma.

"No." Gadget stopped James "I'll stop her. You guys get to safety."

"Right." Moses said "Be careful out there John."

"I will." Gadget said.

"I'm coming too." Tyson told Gadget "I can't let her take you out as well."

As soon as the Dr. Franklin, Tyson, Arnold, and the kids were out of sight, Gadget and Tyson found themselves face to face with Thelma.

"Give it up Bodkin!" Tyson made a battle pose "There's only two of us and one of you!"

"You might as well give up!" Gadget said.

"You know Gadget," She said "I was going to kill your grandpappy, but now I can kill you instead."

"Oh no you won't!" Tyson kicked Thelma right in the stomach, sending her flying across the burnt down village.

Gadget and Tyson came up to Thelma.

"We've witnessed many things in this time period." Gadget said "The remains of Cornstalk and his tribe, the brutality of the British, and the tragic backstories of these sweet innocent kids and ex-slave. But if there's one thing I've truly learned from all this, it's that how much I have it in my era."

Tyson was shocked "Gadget..."

Of course, Thelma was less than amused by this heartfelt speech.

"You know Gadget," Thelma smiled sadistically "That was a charming confession and speech you made there Inspector. I was going to kill your great grandfather, then I was going to kill you, but I think leaving you in this world is more satisfying. Forever trapped in here until you either starve or commit suicide or until you rust and shut down Gadget. It truly is a fate worse than meeting death at my hand and Dr. Claw's claw. And so, with these parting words, I bid you farewell."

Thelma grabbed Gadget and Tyson's rtime travel watches and ran off fastly.

"Oh no." Gadget gasped.

Just then, the Liberty's Kids characters and Gadget's grandaddy came out of the woods from hiding.

"What is it Mr. Brown?" Sarah asked Gadget.

"That fiend took me and Tyson's watches." Gadget explained "We have to get them back."

"Why?" James asked "They're just watches."

"No." Gadget exclaimed "They're family heirlooms! I can't loose them!"

"Then that means I have to help you guys get them back!" Arnold said "Anything for family!"

"And anything for freedoma and independence!" James added.

"We can catch up to her if we run faster!" Moses said "Come on!"

"Let's a go go!" Gadget started running towards Thelma.

While Gadget, Tyson, Moses, Dr. Franklin, Arnold, and the kids started trying to catch up to Thelma, but she was running too fast.

"Looks like you've got nowhere to go." Thelma said "I'll leave you and your friends here Inspector, and when I do, Dr. Claw will be so proud of me!"

Even Tyson had to admit, she was too fast for them. Everyone stopped to catch their breath.

"We'll never catch her on foot." James panted "It's hopeless."

"No it isn't!" Gadget turned to the others "Throw me!"

"John?" Tyson gasped. "What do you think you're doing?"

Gadget grabbed Tyson's cheeks and then kissed her right on the lips.

"Saving time." Gadget said "Now throw me!"

"We will." Sarah said.

The others picked up Gadget and threw him to Thelma, who was then knocked onto the ground by Gadget's incoming.

"Freeze slimeball!" He cuffed Thelma "Don't make me chase you any further."

As soon as Gadget cuffed Thelma, Tyson and the Liberty's Kids characters came running to him.

"You caught her Mr. Brown!" said James.

"Sacre bleu!" Henri exclaimed "You caught her like the slime she is."

"You did it John." Tyson hugged Gadget.

Just then, the doll Gadget found fell out of his pocket.

"What's this Mr. Brown?" James looked at the doll.

"I found it in a burnt house." Gadget explained.

"Wait a minute," Sarah looked at the doll "This belonged to Cornstalk's son. He loved this doll more than anything."

"I can see he did." Gadget held the doll close to his chest "I feel so awful that this poor plaything has to be lonely and without a home or family anymore. That's why I'm giving this little toy to Penny, who I know will take care of it. And I know for sure, this doll won't be alone again."

"Well, it's time to take this spy back to where she belongs." Tyson said "We'll throw her onto the ship back to England."

"And after that, we will go find Penny." Gadget said "And someday, we will find her."

"But if we don't," Tyson continued "John and I will still have each other, and our love will keep us alive."

"Sir," James looked ready to cry "Do you think we could...come with you?"

"No James," Gadget said "You kids belong with Dr. Franklin and Moses and each other. But we will still continue to fight for freedom and independence."

"Goodbye Arnold." Gadget hugged his great grandfather.

"Goodbye John." Arnold hugged his descendent "And remember, we'll always have Philly."

"We will." Gadget said "And someday, we will have freedom. We probably will never see each other again, but I will always remember all of you."

"Goodbye Mr. Brown." Sarah hugged Gadget "I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too Sarah." Gadget hugged Sarah back.

Sarah kept hugging Gadget and then kissed him on the cheek.

"So long Moses." Tyson hugged Moses "And I know for sure, there will be freedom for us blacks. No more slavery or harsh treatment, just freedom and tolerance and equality."

"I know there will be as well." Moses hugged back.

Tyson then went over to embrace Henri and James.

"Goodbye James." Tyson hugged James and kissed him on the forehead.

"Goodbye Ms. Tyson." James hugged back.

Tyson went to say goodbye to Henri, who ran and hugged her tightly.

"I don't want you to leave." He hugged her.

"I don't want to leave you either Herni," Tyson said "But I have a family to raise and to fight for freedom. And just remember, I'll always be in your heart."

"I love you Ms. Tyson." Henri hugged her with tears in his eyes.

"I love you too kid." Tyson kissed him on the forehead.

"So long everyone." Gadget waved goodbye to his friends. "And who knows? Maybe once we get our freedom and independence, we will cross paths again."

"Goodbye everyone." Tyson waved goodbye "We'll miss you."

As soon as Gadget and Tyson (along with the knocked out and cuffed Thelma) were out of sight, Gadget and Tyson set their time watches to the present and were warped back to the police lab, where they saw Chief Quimby, Penny, Brain, and Professor Von Slickstein waiting for them. Other officers came and took Thelma away.

"Uncle Gadget!" Penny hugged him "You're back!"

"Angel!" Gadget started kissing Penny's entire face, not wanting to let go "Oh how I've missed you so much! Along the way I learned something important."

"What is it uncle?" Penny asked Gadget.

"That some things even bad things happened for a reason, the brutality and hardships of the Reveloutionary War, and how great we have it here in the present." Gadget said "Just goes to show there really is no time like the present."

"Good news." Said the professor "WOMP went to a remote island in the Bermuda Triangle, where Claw built the time hole and shut it down. All the elements and people and creatures from the past have been sucked back to their own time periods."

"Gadget, Tyson," Chief Quimby told the two crime fighters "You have saved the universe, without your gadgets."

"I guess I didn't need them after all." Gadget smiled.

As soon as everyone left the lab, Tyson had something to ask Gadget.

"Gadget..." She said "Why did you kiss me?"

Gadget blushed "Well, I...was part of the act."

"Oh." Tyson looked a bit sad "Well okay...I guess."

BACK AT MAD HQ...

Claw had been watching his plan fail and his minon arrested.

"Gadget!" He growled "You have not won yet! I will destroy you! Someday!"

AT THE GADGET HOUSE...

That night, Gadget tucked Penny and Brain into bed.

"You saved the world Uncle Gadget." Penny said "And you saved me. Thank you."

"Penny," Gadget reached into his pocket "There's something I want to give you."

"What is it?" Penny asked.

Gadget reached into his pocket and gave Penny the doll he found in Cornstalk's destroyed village and gave it to her.

"Here Penny," Gadget said "Take good care of this doll. She has been through a lot and her family and her home have been destroyed. I want you, my baby girl to have her. Please promise to take good care of her."

"Yes Uncle Gadget, I promise." Penny hugged the doll. "And thank you. I love it. See little dolly? You have a new family and a new home and I promise to take good care of you."

"Goodnight Penny." Gadget tucked in his niece.

"Goodnight Uncle Gadget." She said back.

Gadget leaned down and kissed Penny on the lips and then he went to Brain's side of the bed and pet him on the head. Soon, Penny was fast asleep with her new doll in her arms and Brain sleeping on the left side of her bed. Gadget couldn't help but smile at his baby girl.

As soon as Gadget left, he saw Penny's history book and opened it. On one page, he saw a picture of him, Tyson, Henri, James, and Sarah's first meeting.

"It's true," He smiled "It did happen. And I'm the only one who knows."
