Chapter 10: Battle On The High-Rise, Part 1
The Time Toon Cops got their weapons and had found a way to turn their friends back. Just as they were about to be on their way, they were greeted by Dark Mouser. Mario asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm the messenger," replied Dark Mouser. "My boss wants to tell you something." He put the TV down and pressed the button to turn it on. On it was a picture of Dark Bowser sending out his message to the cops:
"TIME TOON COPS AND THE TMP, IT'S TIME TO FINISH THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL, AS WE PREPARE FOR THE FINAL BATTLE! I 'M TAKING THIS TO THE TOP OF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING-WINNER TAKES ALL, BECAUSE I'M GOING TO WIN! YOU'VE ONLY GOT 24 HOURS TO FACE MY DARK SMASHERS AND ME OR I WILL TURN THE ENTIRE AREA OF NEW NEW YORK CITY INTO DARK NEW NEW YORK CITY. SO BE THERE AND BE SQUARE! BUT LET'S JUST SAY IT'LL BE A GAUNTLET MATCH, SO HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL BE UP AGAINST. ON THE FIRST FLOOR, YOU WILL BE FACING DARK CELESTIA AND NIGHTMARE MOON; ON THE SECOND FLOOR YOU'LL BE FACING THE DRAGON WARRIORS AND YOGI BEAR; ON THE THIRD FLOOR MR. KAT AND DARK STAR FOX AND STAR WOLF TEAM, THE FOURTH FLOOR DARK SONIC HEROES, THE FIFTH FLOOR DARK TINY TOONS, THE SIXTH FLOOR DARK TIME TOON COPS, THE SEVENTH FLOOR DARK TMP, AND FROM THE EIGHTH TO 114TH FLOORS THE REST OF THE DARK SMASHERS. AND LASTLY ON THE TOP FLOOR, YOU WILL FACE ME, CHRIS, DARK BRIAN, DARK JASPER, DARK CHAN, LANCE, DARK YOSHI AND DARK BIRDO! SO SEE YOU THERE!"
"We have to get there before all of New New York City will become Dark," said Alex II, shortly after the TV went off. "And we don't want that."
Bert added, "Right, because if Dark Bowser turns New New York City into Dark New New York, then he will have a lot of followers at his command! Guess we'd better go now."
"And also save the princesses," said Twilight Sparkle.
The cops ran off to the Empire State Building. When they got there, the next part of the plan was to split up. Rocky asked, "Why do we have to split up?"
"If we pair off in different teams, we can get through to Dark Bowser in no time," replied Alex II. "Each of us will go to a different floor to face every Dark team. So who's with me?"
Davy looked at Marina. Being madly in love with her, he so wanted to be on her team. Running towards her, he shouted, "Pick me, Marina! I wanna be on your team!" Suddenly, Bert Jr. stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Marina, who giggled and kissed him on the cheek. He gave Davy a sharp glare, growling, "Don't even think about it..."
"Okay, I won't," replied Davy nervously, backing away slowly. He gave out a frustrated sigh-perhaps he'll never have Marina at all.
Alex II nodded, before shouting, "Okay, team...LET'S DO THIS!"
