Blackness bathed all around Lucy with her surroundings

She gets into a battle stance to fight whatever is coming

She feels a drip fall down on her head. She wipes it off and it's blood

She looks up and for a split second, she saw the creature coming at her

Lucy gets awaken by a phone ringing, she goes to pick it up. She ended up falling down on the floor attempting to reach it

She grabs it

Lucy: hello

?: if you want to see your daughter again, meet me with your family tonight at the mall. Clock store

The phone hangs up

Lucy looks at the phone with questioning signs. What he said just made no sense. Which daughter was he referring to? Lucy bolted downstairs, to see everyone there

Dru: morning Lucy

Lucy remained wide eyed

Lucy: morning

Gru noticed this

Gru: Lucy, are you okay

Lucy: I just got the weirdest call ever

Gru: what was it on

Lucy: well this guy called me and he wants all of us to meet at the mall tonight

Gru: well then, what's weird about that

Lucy: should we, I mean he could be a stranger after all

Dru: I'm not sure. Maybe he's a fan of us

Gru: dru, we have a house that peeks out from the rest, we could've seen us

Edith: maybe it has something to do with the recent avl incident

Lucy: we wants us all to come

Gru: well whatever it is, we're going, where is the exact spot we wants us to meet in the mall

Lucy: the clock store for some reason

Gru: whatever

Lucy sat on the couch and just decided to lay down for the time being

While she was resting, down in the lab. Gru was working on a ray gun

Dru happened to pop in and notice

Dru: hey brother, what are you doing

Gru: just a weapon

Dru: ooooooooooooo really, what does it do

Gru: simple, it melts things

Dru: but why are you making it now

Gru: just to past time

Dru: uh huh, sure you can tell me gru, I'm your brother

Gru sighed and turned to him

Gru: I'm going to unfreeze dr. Nefario

Dru: wait wait wait wait, you mean the real Nefario

Gru: yeah

Dru fangirled so hard, it broke a glass cup gru had with him

Gru: relax, it's close to finish

Dru: you worked with him

Gru: yeah, I've always have

Dru: okay, good to know. I will not tell a soul

Gru: great

In the car that night

Gru, Lucy, dru, Edith, and Agnes drove down to the mall that night, it was closed

Gru: odd

They got out of the car, and walked into the mall

The five of them look around closely, inspecting on remembering where the clock shop was. They haven't been there since 2013. It was hard for them to figure out where it was

Lucy began to notice something weird about the place, all the guards were not moving. In fact, they weren't even blinking

Lucy: guys I don't think that those are statues

Dru: well Lucy look on the bright side, we can't get caught

Agnes: I found the shop

They all saw it, and walked in. Absolutely none of the clocks were ticking.

Lucy: so much for a clock shop, am I right?

Gru: yeah

?: they all work

They all winced a bit, turned around to see this young black man who seemed to be the owner

?: they're just frozen

Gru: that makes absolutely no sense

?: it does to Lucy

He handed her a piece of paper, and Lucy looked at it, she looked up with a smirk on her face

Lucy: nice to meet you time

Edith finally got wide eyed during the whole trip, dru immediately began to look cool, Agnes jaw dropped, and gru just stared at him in disbelief

Time: nice to meet you to Lucy, I suppose you're her family

Agnes: yes we are, I'm Agnes. This is Edith, dru, and gru

Edith nodded, dru shook his hand, and gru couldn't stop staring at him

Time: so I suppose you all know why you're here

Gru: hold the phone man, you're time. Itself

Time: that's correct

Gru: okay okay really? Honestly really, do you actually think I would believe you

Time: I can show an example, Lucy sit on the table

Lucy: what

Time: sit on the table

Lucy: okay

Lucy sat on the table, ready to do whatever

Time: take the leg off

Lucy: what

Time: it's part of the trick

Lucy began to take off her leg, and putted it on the table.

Time: this will hurt a bit

Time flicked his wrist. And Lucy began to felt funny. Something weird was going on. Then it began to hurt a lot. She grabbed the edge of the table through gritted teeth. She felt something forming on her leg. It felt like clay being put on your leg

When she opened her eyes, she realized. Her right leg was back. The real thing, like the true thing

Lucy looked at her family members. Who were amazed

Gru: okay I believe you

Time: rightfully so, anyway I suppose you know why you're here

Gru: no we don't

Lucy: um yeah, I didn't tell them yet

Time: it's okay I understand, I want to help you guys

Edith: how do you want to help us

Time: there's a way to bring Margo back

A few things happened after he said that

1. Edith smiled after what felt like an eternity

2. Agnes yelled "WHAT"

3. Lucy shrouded in embarrassment

4. Gru and dru got wide eyed and jaw dropped

Gru: what how

Time: I think you all need an explanation on what's going on. Take a seat

Lucy: okay

They all took a seat

Time: before I get to the main reason, I need to ask. Your leader betrayed you guys or got possessed by some creature right

Gru: yeah, tell me about it

Time: but she also left with a stone

Lucy: yeah, it was from a recent mission we went on

Time: well, long ago. In another universe, there was nothing. But then, an explosion or the Big Bang as we call it. Created six stones that all went down a different path. These include space, power, reality, soul, mind, and time

Edith: which one did gru and Lucy get

Time: you guys got time, and Valerie stole it from you. If it's used correctly, it can bring someone back to life.

Gru: yeah yeah whatever how do we do it

Time: I can't say, you need to get the stone back

Lucy: alrighty, so do you have a plan for us

Time: I do, first you need to Valerie, then you need to prepare heavily, then you go to the location, then you try to get the stone, and captured Valerie and the creature, using a device, here's the blueprints

He passed them a pack of blueprints

Time: then, you go the Margo's grave. And chant this

Lucy: you're telling us how to do it when you just said that you can't

Time: actually I can, but I'm not telling you one thing. Here's the chant, don't say it now. That is all I have for you carry on. Oh and by the way, I froze time

Lucy: that explains the guards

When they were driving back to the house, Lucy was looking at the blueprints

Lucy: gru, can you make this

Gru: from the looks of it, no. But there's only one person I know that can. Nefario

Lucy: really

Gru: but that's okay because, I've been working on a laser gun that can melt carbonite. It's almost done

Lucy: sweet

They drove back with smiles on their face

You can easily predict where I'm going with this. Yes, the stone from the the shocking zing and newborn was the mind stone. And for this one it's the time stone. No shite.

Bye
