Chapter 7: Chris Attacks

While the group went out to collect items for building the robot, Charles decided to think alone. Then, Chris came out and smiled at him evilly. He said, "Hello, my goody self."

"Chris?" said Charles. "What are you doing here?"

"I want to see if you are stronger yet."

"Oh, yeah? Then I'm going to stop you."

Charles put his Sliver Glasses on and shouted, "SPIRIT OF THE SILVER DRAGON! ARISE!" Then, he became the Sliver Dragon Ranger.

Chris chuckled and said, "Ah, the legendary Sliver Dragon Ranger. I see you're still alive. Now, it's my turn--SPIRIT OF THE DARK DRAGON! ARISE!" And he became the Dark Dragon. They began to fight each other, throwing chairs, smashing tables, and spewing fire at each other. Charles seemed to be winning, but Chris kicked him and weakened his defenses.

"SPIRIT OF THE DARK DRAGON! ATTACK!"

Chris' Dark Dragon came out and hit Charles real hard. There was a large explosion coming around, as he got knocked to the ground, and his power went off as he transformed back to himself. Chris laughed and said, "HA! Not that strong, huh? Well, we will meet again, and this time you're gonna regret being the Silver Dragon Ranger." Then, after scribbling something on the wall with his claws, he continued triumphantly, "See you later!"

As soon as Chris had disappeared out of sight, the TTC came running over to see what had happened. Bert shouted, "Charles! Are you all right?"

"I'm fine," Charles muttered weakly. "It's just that...I...I lost my Silver Dragon powers."

Lying right beside him, broken in bits and pieces, were the Silver Morphing Visors. Picking up the glasses and examining them, PowerPaws said, "The visors must've been broken during that violent encounter. Until they are fixed as good as new, you won't get your Silver Dragon powers back for at least half a year."

"That's about the same as the time taken to build a giant robot," said Nose Marie. "Now, what are we going to do?"

The TTC sighed forlornly. Then, Rufus said, "You don't need to wait a long time to confront Myrna and her allies with a big robot. That's why I have invented...this." With that, he produced what looked like to them like a TV remote control. Cuddles asked, "What's that?"

"It's a Time Remote," answered Rufus. "You can use this to control the amount of time that you may desire. It contains all the buttons you would normally find on a TV remote control, but its usage has greater results that could rival even that of the watches of Clockstoppers."

"Sure," said Giggles. "And we've seen the movie like ten times!"

"Exactly. Now, if you'll allow me, I'm about to demonstrate what this Time Remote can do. Stand back, please."

The cops moved away, and so did the Happy Tree Friends, but Rufus stopped Giggles, saying, "Don't go, Giggles--I want you to be my test subject."

"Um...okay."

Rufus cleared his throat, and taking out his gun, he continued, "Now, my dear, suppose if I were to shoot this gun at you and through your insides, like this..." With that, he proceeded to shoot a bullet at Giggles, piercing her through the stomach with just one shot. Blood and guts spilled out everywhere. Bright Eyes muttered, "Ewww..."

"And now," said Rufus, aiming the remote at the now-dead pink chipmunk. "Let's see what happens when I use the Time Remote on poor little Giggles..."

He pressed the "Rewind" button, and in an instant, the blood and guts seeped right back into Giggles' body and the bullet popped out of her stomach and back into the gun. He continued, "What do you think?"

Giggles looked over herself, before saying, "That looks really cool!"

Rufus went on, "As Alex II have previously stated, building the robot might take nine months. I suppose fast-forwarding the whole thing wouldn't be such a problem." He pressed another button on the remote, "Fast-Forward", and aimed it at the entire space around him and his friends. Soon, everything around them started to change--the sun rose and sunk, as did the moon, in a quick and frenzied pace. The weather outside instantly changed from sunny to rainy to windy in the same speed as the sun and moon. The calendar advanced page after page, month after month--March, April, May, June, July...

The TTC and Happy Tree Friends then started to feel themselves moving on to build the robot outside, under the alert gaze of Rufus. First, they started with the feet, then they went on to make the torso, arms, head, and tail. Later on, they started to paint the entire robot from its head to its feet, before letting it dry. By the time the calendar got to the month of December, the robot was completely finished and it was starting to snow. They came back in, tired but triumphant. Bert said breathlessly, "Whew! That Time Remote can surely do some wonders! I'm nearly worn out!"

Snooper looked at the calendar and gasped in shock. He said, "It's December 10th! The ninth month! Our ladies will be due to deliver any moment now."

"Yes," said Vanessa. "And so will Bentley. We've got to get over to Mr. Stork's Paradise Island and try to protect them in any way we can. The message that somebody had scrawled on the wall said that the battle will take place over there."

Alex II said, "All right, team. We'd better step on it--and fast!" And then they went off, in their newly built robot (aptly named Robo-Bentley), towards their next destination.

Meanwhile, back in Neo-Detroit, Myrna's robot have also been completed. Evil Bert said, "Your robot is finished, Your Majesty." Myrna looked up at the robot. It looked exactly like Bert Raccoon, except that it was made out of metal and it was almost thirty feet tall. She laughed victoriously and said, "Good work! From now on, I will christen this new robot...er, what shall I call it? Let's see..."

"How about Robo-Bert?" suggested Belladonna.

"That's it!" said Myrna, a wicked smile on her face. "We'll call it 'Robo-Bert'! Chris, go ahead and call up the other villains, and ask them to come over and participate in my evil plan. I want you to get Cyril Sneer, Boris Badenov, Dick Dastardly, Big Cheese, Jeremy Actrict, Mr. Red Guy, Montana Max, the Hooded Claw with the Bully Brothers, and all the other villains that I can't even name."

"Who are they?" asked Chris.

"They're the ones who lost the Great Big Transcontinental Race years ago. I think bringing them back will get them primed and ready for avenging their humiliating defeat. So, GO!"

"As you wish, Myrna."

As Chris turned into the Dark Dragon and flew away, Myrna rubbed her paws and said with an evil grin, 'This is gonna be good..."

Alexandra happened to be watching the whole thing from above. She muttered boldly, "Not with my son, you won't!" And then, she flew off to the Pacific Ocean to warn the Time Toon Cops.
