SMURFS: TIME SMURFED AGAIN: PART FIVE By Steven "Swarlock" Acevedo

THE STORY SO FAR: Papa, Handy, Hefty, Smurfette and Gargamel's scientist descendent Gary sneak into the heart of Balthazar Corporation where the magic planes were. Only to find a Papa Smurf strapped to the top of a giant magic missile.

" We'll get you down, Papa Smurf," Hefty said.
Frantically The Smurfs began climbing the very large missile with the speed of a thousand road runners. Then they heard a rumbling sound beneath them.

"The rocket missile. It's getting ready to take off," Handy shouted.
"Hang on, my friends. I've found the remote control to stop it," Gary Gargamel shouted to them. He pressed to the main button several times to undo the launch.
"Oh no! It won't turn off!" he panicked.
"Of course it won't you fool!" a booming voice roared. "Once the timer has been activated it won't go off"
"Godfather!" Dr. Gargamel yelled.
"Balthazar!" The Smurfs yelled as well. Even the Papa Smurf twins.

"The missile you are all on is being sent to the forest to destroy it for good. Did you honestly think I would keep it around? In case you hadn't heard there are stones beneath different parts of it. These stones are valuable because of their power to bend into the time stream. With it I can steal all the treasures of the centuries. That also includes the future." he told them all laughing maliciously afterwards.

"Stones?" The Papa Double snapped up his head in surprise. "So it's true. There's more than one smurf lifestone"
"Smurf lifestone?" Now the others looked confused and stunned at the same time. The missile was shaking so violently that they held onto its outer casing with their life. "Countdown now activated!" said a voice from the control panel.
"You can't do this, Godfather," The Good Gargamel cried out. "You'll ruin everything with your evil scheme"
"Oh please! You're just as bad as your father was. Sniveling like a coward. You can't bring yourself to perform the slightest bit of sorcery because you deny it. If you want to be a true wizard, you take what you want without hesistation or guilt"
"That's enough! I won't ever use magic and never will," he shouted now lunging at Balthazar.

In that instead Gargamel was frozen in a block of ice.

"GARGAMEL!" Smurfette sobbed.

The missile shout out into the sky and was headed for the forest and Smurf Village. Realizing they had to stop the problem now without their new friend they shimmied up to the cap of the missile.

"The red button is housed inside the top. We have to change the control so it lands in the far off ocean," Papa screamed over the deafening noise of the weapon.

Papa, Hefty, Handy and Smurfette etched closer to the main control button inside the rocket but they were losing oxygen fast as they sped upward into space.

"One...spell...should...save...our smurfs. Have...to...cast...cast..."

Papa fell unconscious as the missile traveled downward.
