Chapter 4: Rising tensions

everyone was thrown into a large jail cell inside the blimp. "Hey! where's lucky?!" Niblet said scared. Drax came to the cell to talk to everyone."Now you're probably wondering who I am, and how did I find you, Well to it in simple terms..." he said. "I was the one who turned your town into a robot factory!" He said. Everyone was shocked to hear this come out of his mouth. "I knew ypu were behind all this chaos!! But why did you attack their town?!" Lucas demanded. "Well you see, I'm actually an alien prince from the Planet Kajima, and I wanted to conquer Earth because, well, I wanted my own colony. So I attack your town and made it a robot factory, so I can attack and conquer more towns until I can conquer the entire world!" He said menacingly. "And I know you want that time stone really bad to save your town, but, Its too late to find it now that I located!!" He said. "Make sure they don't escape and once we find that the time stone, i'll make sure those dogs never existed!!" He said. "No!!" dot said before crying. "What now?!" Cookie said. "I'm afraid there's nothing we can do, we lost!" Squirt said.

"But not for long!!" said Lucas before climbing into a nearby vet. "Maybe we can win!" Rebound said. Everyone followed Lucas into vent while the robot guards were not looking.

Meanwhile in the Monitor room...

Lucky woke up with his left leg chained to the wall. He looked at the Monitors and saw towns being turned into a robot factories, trees being cut down, innocent people being turned into robots. "Oh no!" Lucky said. "Oh no is right Mister Chewy McFluffster, or should I say, Lucky!!" lucky turned around and saw Drax with his arms crossed. "Why are you doing this and why are after us?!" Lucky asked. "I'm Drax and I want that time stone!!" he said menacingly. "Now tell me where it's at!!" Drax Demanded. Lucky remembered some dog saying that the time stone could be found at a snowy valley, and can under that valley is a hidden cave. "Its in a snowy valley and under that valley is a hidden cave, that's where the time stone is!" Lucky said anxiously. "Locate the place he's talking about mister pilot!" said Drax. "Place located, it is by a small town." said the pilot robot. "going to destination." he said. "Now about your frien-" before Drax could finish his sentence, he heard a loud thud. "What was that?! Stay here, Don't even think about escaping!!" He said. Lucky hoped something good would happen, then suddenly, he saw dot open the door.

"Dot!" Lucky said. "Don't worry Mister Chewy McFluffster, we'll get out of here!" She said as she unlocked the chain off of Lucky. "Come on!" She said. They left the while the pilot and co-pilot looked at each other and went back to piloting the plane. "I don't what the noise was b-" before he finished his sentence, he noticed that Lucky was gone. "What happened?! Where's Lucky?! And why didn't you do anything?! He exclaimed. "I don't know." both the pilots said. "Just keep piloting the plane, I'll have a word with you two later!" he said before leaving to find Lucky. When he to the cell, He saw that the prisoners were gone. "Why is Today so Frustrating for me?! He said.

Everyone ran down the complicated hallway, hoping to get out before Drax can capture them again. "This blimp is more complicated than I thought!" Strudel said. "Look! the exit!" Niblet said. They opened the door, but saw long drop down. "Uh oh!" Mr Henderson said. "Don't move and no one gets hurt!" Drax said in an angry tone. Everyone turned around and saw Drax and his robot surround them. "Please Bear with us, we just wanna help!" he said calmly. "After you locked us up?! No way!!" Lucas said angrily. Everyone jumped down off the blimp and landed on the soft snowy ground. "Where are we??" Mr Henderson asked. Everyone got up and look around and saw snowy valley. "This must be the place where the time stone is!" Lucky said. "Quickly! hide!" Everyone ran down the valley and hid behind some big snowy bushes.

Drax and his robots jumped down and tracked down the pound puppies and the henderson's. "Find them and don't let them get escape again!!" Drax said angrily. "The gang heard a crack noise and fell down into a cave. The gang fell into a big pond of water, where Lucky instantly recognized the cave. "It's the cave where time stone is!" Cookie said. everyone got out of the water and followed a path of strange symbols down a dark cave. Lucas lighted up his flashlight which he got from one of the guards. The followed the path down until they entered a hallway with a mural on the wall. "What does it say?" Agent Todd said. "It says long ago the native people of alaska discovered seven different stones while exploring an area, one red, one orange, one yellow, one green, one teal, one indigo, and one magenta. they name these stones the miracle stones, and forged them to create the time stone. When the russians first arrived in Alaska, the indigenous people told them about the mythical stones and its power, many russians wanted the time stone, but the indigenous people refused to let them have it, forcing the russians to kill many of them in order to find it for themselves. In order to make sure the time stone fall into the wrong hands, they hid the stone in a hidden cave and barricaded it so no one can steal it. However the native also prophesied that a group of heroes would find the time stone and save the world from an evil force." Lucas said.

"That could be us, we're the group of heroes and Drax is the evil force!!" Squirt said. "So let's-" Before Lucky could finish his sentence, Drax interrupted him. "Find it, right?" Drax said in a calm tone. Everyone looked behind and saw Drax and his Robot army. "Now, Show us the way!" he said in a angry tone while his robots blocked the way back. "We have no choice." Dot said. Everyone followed Lucas down the hallway to the time stone. The gang finally made it to the main room where the time stone was at. It was filled with torches that still were on fire even though the torches never were touched again in a long time. In the center of the room was the time stone, sealed away for a long time since the 1700s. "The legend is true, the time stone is real!!" said Strudel. "After all these years, we finally found it! Robots!" Drax Commanded. The robots grabbed everyone in the room, expect for Drax. "Sorry guys, But I must create my colony!" he said menacingly. He looked and reached for the time stone as everyone watched in horror. "Noooo!!" Everyone screamed. The stone glowed brighter as Drax reached for it. Drax swiped it and the cave began to collapse. "Bye Everyone!" He said as him and his robots teleported back to there blimp. "RUN!!" Lucky said. Everyone ran out of the cave and made it out alive. Everyone checked to see if everybody was okay. "Where's lucky??" Dot heard crying behind and realized it was lucky crying. "Mister Chewy McFluffster, don't cry, we tried." Dot said calmly. "Yeah! But we failed miserable and now the world is going to become a robot factory planet!!" He said in a sad tone. Everyone looked. each other as lucky continued to cry. Everyone hugged lucky as he slowly calmed down. "We have lost, but that doesn't mean we give up immediately, we have to save yo- no, our town." Lucas said to Lucky. "But how? we lost the time stone!" Lucky said. "How about with the fellow army!" A mysterious voice said. Everyone looked around and saw the US and Canadian army together around them. A general came out and introduced himself. "Names Charles Kristen, but you can call me Carl and I'm a US and Canadian army general!" Carl said. "I heard about the pound puppies and knew you needed help fighting that alien invader, so I gathered all my friends and came to look for with them." he said. Thank you sir! It really helps a lot!" Ms Henderson said.

"Now come on! lets save you town and the world from destruction!" he said everyone followed him into a large military truck with a planning room for on the go. "Time for Operation Save the World!!" Lucky said. The military vehicles drove of to the town Anchorage, hopeful to make in time before more bad things happen.
