Arabella's POV

"Hey guys, do you know what time-"

Suddenly, Schwoz ran in with a bucket of popcorn and knocked Henry over.

"Hurry! It's about to start!" I went over to Henry and kneeled down to his level as Schwoz jumped into the couch. "Some body turn on Dog Judge!"

I helped Henry up and he stumbled a little.

"Schwoz! Watch it!" I exclaimed, but he didn't listen to me.

"Hey, give me those eight bolt batteries." My dad told Henry, who had just returned from the storage facility with them.

Henry handed them to my dad.

"Here."

"Uh, why do you need eight bolt batteries?" Charlotte asked him.

"For my vibrating soap." My dad said holding up his stupid vibrating soap.

"But why would you-never mind." Charlotte sighed, not caring.

"Another one?" I asked, "I thought I got-" I paused when I saw my dad's face and chuckled. "Never mind." I smiled and Henry snickered at me.

"Aw! Dog newget!" My dad snapped.

"What's up?" Henry asked.

"These are seven bolt batteries!" My dad exclaimed, "these won't make soap vibrate!"

"Soap isn't supposed to vibrate." I remarked as my dad tossed them to the floor.

"I'm sorry I-"

"Bella, go downstairs and get me the right batteries." My dad ordered me cutting off Henry. "Because Henry hates me and wants my soap to remain perfectly still!"

"Soap doesn't even move!" Henry protested

"So, please go downstairs and get the right package of batteries." My dad told me and I pouted.

"I want to watch Dog Judge!" I complained and my dad stood up, smiling.

"We'll record it." He assured, "now be a good daughter and go downstairs."

"Fine!" I agreed and Henry kissed my cheek, before I stomped over to the tubes. "Why do I have to do everything?"

"Stop complaining." My dad said and I mimicked him.

"Stop complaining." I rolled my eyes and a tube encased me. "Down the tube!"

I got down to the storage facility and searched around for the batteries.

"Stupid soap." I muttered, "stupid batteries. Soap isn't supposed to move!"

I rolled my eyes and spotted some Lony Whiz

"Oh! Lony Whiz!" I beamed and grabbed it. I looked up and spotted a frozen Drex, aka my birth father. "Hey, 'dad.'" I smirked and laughed, "I have a surprise for ya."

I sprayed his body with the Lony Whiz and laughed.

"Haha! You have Lony pants!" I giggled, "and whiz! Hahaha! I'm such a child!"

Suddenly, the room went dark and I jumped.

"Ah!" I yelled, "what the?!"

The power came back on ten seconds later and I noticed that Drex was gone.

"Ah!" I yelled, "Drex! Where do ya go?! And where's the can of Lony Whiz?!"

"Boo!"

I jumped at the voice and turned to see Drex standing there holding the can.

"Give me that." I ordered, but instead Drex squeezes the can and caused the Lony whiz to pour out. "Okay, just leave me alone."

"I won't hurt you." He assured me, "I can't hurt my own child."

I stood there with fear in my eyes and didn't know what to do, until I remembered my powers.

I shot two vines out of my hands and they wrapped around Drex's wrists.

"Hey!" He snapped and I smirked at him. "Not fair!"

"Life isn't fair!" I yelled and tried to pull him, but he was stronger and yanked me toward him.

"Father gave you toys and he can take them away." He snarled, before he ripped the vines off his hands and he pushed me to the ground.

"Ah!" I yelled and Drex came over to me, lifting me off the ground. "Let me go!"

"I'm not done." He said and he pushed me into a bunch of boxes. Before I could move, he grabbed a bunch of duct tape and started to tie me up with them.

"Why am I always the hostage?" I asked as he tied me up and then he placed duct tape on my mouth. "Mmmm! Mmmm!"

Drex then ran over and opened the metal container that has two weapons inside it. One of them was to destroy the portal and he placed it on a shelf directly in front of it.

"And to make sure you don't use your powers." Drex grabbed handcuffs on the self and attached them to my wrists. These weren't just handcuffs, these were power blocking cuffs, which means I can't use my powers.

Drex ran back over and switched on the time portal and my eyes grew. What is this man planning?

I heard an alarm and I saw Henry and my dad get shot down.

"Arabella!" Henry yelled for me, but I gestured to Drex and my dad blocked Henry from moving.

"Oh look, it's Ray and Henry." Drex said.

"You're not going anywhere, Drex." My dad declared as him and Henry slowly moved down the steps. "There's two of us and one of you!"

"Oh no! Then I guess you have me trapped here." Drex said, before running over to me and he snatched me from the ground and stood in front of the portal.

"Bella!" Henry yelled for me, but my dad kept his back. "It's the Time Jerker's Time Portal!"

"Let my daughter go! And get away from that thing!" My dad ordered Drex and I struggled in his grip, but couldn't move.

"No I don't think I'll do either of those things!" Drex denied and I whined.

"Drex!" Ray yelled.

"Get away from her!" Henry snapped and they began to argue with each other. I eventually got the duck tape of my mouth and yelled.

"Hey!" I yelled and the boys stopped. "Stop yelling!"

The alarm blared and Charlotte, Jasper, and Schwoz got shot down.

"Oh, hello everyone." Schwoz smiled.

"Not now-"

"Shut up!" Drex yelled and I flinched.

"Alright now." My dad breathed out and I looked at Henry for help. "Give us Bella."

"Why?" Drex asked, "she's my daughter."

"No, she's mine." My dad objected.

"Did you help make her?" Drex asked him and I rolled my eyes at him.

"No, but at least I didn't abandon her on the streets." My dad protested.

"It wasn't my choice to do that!" Drex shouted and I noticed that the time portal had finished calculating. "Looks like my rides here. Well, this has been fun. See ya...some other time!"

Everyone yelled out for us and Henry reached for me as Drex jumped for the portal.

"Henry!" I called with distress.

"Bella! No!" Henry yelled before I couldn't see anything for a split second and a bright light blinded my eyes and I looked away.

Drex tightened his grip on me and I grunted against his grip. I couldn't attack him, because he put handcuffs that restricted my powers on me and I couldn't exactly attack him without him attacking me.

"Where are we?" I asked with gritted teeth and Drex undid the duct tape on my body.

"1989, the year Ray became indestructible." Drex remarked and my eyes grew.

"What are you going to do?" I asked as Drex let me go as soon as the duct tape was gone, but kept his hand on my wrist, so I wouldn't move or attack. There were people around, so Drex didn't want to make a scene and make it look like he was kidnapping me. Even though he did kidnap me.

"Make sure Ray never becomes indestructible and make myself indestructible." Drex smirked and I glared at him. "So, he never adopts you and I find you instead."

"My dad and Henry will stop you." I snarl and he only laughed.

"Not if someone they love and adore attacks them."

He pulled me along and I growled.

I will never hurt Henry or my father.

——

After Drex had his snow cone at the FOD Fest, he took me to to building called Glass Tech Industries. This is where my grandfather worked and where my dad became indestructible.

"What are you going to do to me?" I asked him as he shut a door to a small room and locked it.

"I gave you your powers, and I can take them away." Drex said.

"It's 1989, you don't have the right technology to do that." I reasoned with him and he thought for a moment.

"True, but I have other ideas." He told me and I backed away, but I hit a wall.

"Like what?"

"You don't want me to hurt you 'father' and little boyfriend, right?" He asked me.

"Yeah..." I trailed off.

"But you never said you couldn't hurt them." He smirked at me and I attempted to run, but he grabbed me and shoved me down in a chair. "Evil Arabella 2.0, here we come."

"No..." I pleaded at him. "Please..."

Third Person POV

"And, I engage power!" Carl Manchester announced as he pulled the lever on the Dentsitizer, activating it on the glass board. The crowd in the room gasps at the machine and the glowing particles, before a loud noise happens and Carl switches off machine. "Now then." Carl switches sides and whacks the glass, but it didn't break due to it's new and refined density. "The glass is now indestructible!"

The audience claps for his invention, including two suspicious looking people in the back. One had a smirk and the other was emotionless.

"Now, let's all leave my device unsupervised in this room and discuss it in the next room." Carl suggested and everyone, besides the two people, followed Carl to the back. Drex moved Bella to a corner, where she wouldn't be seen, before he walked around the Densitizer and heard a voice.

"Daddy! Hey, daddy! Daddy! Whoa!" Drex smirked at the voice and stood in front of the machine as a young Ray skateboarded into the room, stopping him from getting densified.

"Hey, little Ray." Drex greeted and the young Ray looked up at him.

"Who are you?" He asked him and Drex removed his goggles.

"Dr. Night Night." Drex whispered, before squeezing his shoulder.

"Huh? What do you mean-" Young Ray passed out and Drex caught him. Bella came over and took young Ray from him, before dragging him over to the corner she was in.

Drex removed his disguise and cracked his neck. "Alright, let's rewrite some history."

Drex moved under the device and switches it on. His body was blasted with particles and beams of light, causing his body to shake and twitch.

"Holy gosh!" Carl yelled and ran into the room. "Who's in my Densitizer?!"

Ray and Henry ran into the room and Bella noticed them, but they focused on Drex and the machine. The boys were in shock and couldn't believe what was happening.

"What do we do?" Henry asked, right before Ray switches of the machine.

Carl ran over to Ray, "hey, you! Don't touch that!"

"Daddy, not now!" Ray yelled.

"Daddy?" Carl asked and Drex stumbled out of the machine, but his left hand had changed form. It was a monster claw.

"Ray, look at his hand! Look at his hand!" Henry pointed and Drex looked at his new hand.

"Yeah! Look at my hand!" Drex said with anger.

"I could've told you Drex." My dad began.

"Except for Ray, any other person who gets Densitized also gets some weird side effect." Henry added. "Like your freaky monster paw."

"I like it freaky." Drex remarked.

"Okay, I don't know who you people are but I'm gonna get the police!" Carl demanded and Drex yelled at him, causing Carl to flee from the scene. "Help! There's a weirdo in my science lab!"

Bella stood up and Henry saw her.

"Ray!" Henry yelled and Ray turned to see Bella standing there with glowing green eyes.

"What the-" Ray gasped. "Bella?"

"Not again." Henry groaned.

"Yes, again." Drex laughed, "my evil little minion."

"What happened?" They all turned to see little Ray had waken up.

"Oh me god." Ray gasped at the sight of young him and Bella followed Drex over to the door as he was locking it.

"Who's that kid?" Henry asked.

"He's me!" Ray smiled, "twenty-eight years ago! Dang, I was cute!"

"Well, you better get little you out of here!" Henry warned as Drex and Bella approached them again.

"Right, uh..." Ray stuttered. "Keep Drex and Bella busy till I get back."

"But Bell-"

"Try your best to avoid hitting her." Ray told him.

"No problem." Henry said.

"Come on, handsome." Ray pushed young him out the door.

"Handsome? Ew!" Young Ray said.

"It's okay, we're related."

"What?"

"Shut up."

"Keep me busy?" Drex asked him, "kid, I'm gonna crush you and then I'm gonna crush your boyfriend, Ray when he comes back!"

"Okay, first of all!" Henry began, "we're coworkers! His daughter's the one I'm dating! And second of all, I spanked your butt and saved Bella last time we fought, remember that Drex?! Or do I need to go online to show you the video!" Henry got out his phone, trying to search up the video. "Hey on, I gotta find WiFi." Henry moved his phone around, searching for an internet connection.

"We're in 1989!" Drex protested.

"Yeah, so?!"

"No internet!"

Henry lowered his phone and grinned at Drex. "Well, do you know what they have in nineteen eighty-nine?"

"What?"

"Fists!" Henry yelled and punched Drex, who didn't budge from the attack. Henry threw a bunch of punches until, Bella grabbed his fist and twisted it.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Henry yelled and instinctively punched her, causing her to fall to the ground. "Oh my god!" He cries with regret. "Bella, I'm so sorry-"

Drex cut him off by shoving him into a cart, falling to the floor. Bella sat up and Drex helped her to her feet.

"Sorry, kid, you may be faster then me, but you're not indestructible." Drex said.

Bella rubbed her cheek, and she could feel it beginning to swell up a little.

Ray walked in, "well I am. You okay, kid?"

"Yeah, I kept him busy." Henry groaned and Ray spotted his daughter's bruised cheek.

"Did you hurt my daughter?" Ray asked Drex with anger bottling up inside of him.

"Nope, that was me." Henry remarked and Ray made a face. "Accident, I swear!"

Ray and Drex began to fight and it was a pretty even fight between the two.

"Come on, Ray." Henry encouraged and he saw Bella approach him. "Bella, stay back, I don't wanna hurt you again. Stay!"

Ray tried to attack Drex, but he grabbed Ray and threw him to the ground. Drex stomped on Ray's arm and Henry gasped as Ray cried, grabbing his arm.

"Oh!"

Henry went done to his level as Ray crawled back.

"Ray? Ray, what's wrong?" Henry asked a hurting Ray.

"Don't worry about me, kid. I'm oh-god, that hurts!" Ray groaned, holding his arm. "But not to worry, because it's gonna stop hurting-Ah, that's broken! That is a broken arm!"

"Tough break Ray!" Drex said, "first Bella, now you!"

"Ray! You can't have a broken arm, you're indestructible!" Henry reasoned.

"No, not anymore." Ray denied. "This was the day that eight-year-old me was supposed to become densitized."

Henry helped Ray up and they backed into the wall, with Drex and Bella walking up to them slowly.

"Ray..."

"Don't worry, I know exactly what to do." Ray assured him, breathing heavily. "Alright! Drex! Stand aside, so I can walk into the Densitizer and make myself indestructible again."

"No!" Drex yelled, pointing a gun at him and Bella formed her vines around her arms.

"Okay, I'm not sure what to do!" Ray retracted.

"What?" Henry asked and they both stared at Drex and Bella with uncertainty and fear.

——

"Okay, what's, what's your problem, Drex?!" Henry asked with irritation and Drex lowered his gun. "I mean, seriously, what reason do you have to hate us so much?"

"Well, for starters, you two butt chumps froze me and locked me in a storage room for over a year!" Drex yelled and Ray and Henry couldn't argue with his reasons. "Whatever! And second of all, Ray stole my daughter from me!"

"I did not!" Ray snapped, "you abandoned her when she was a baby!"

"You think I wanted to?" Drex asked, "it was her stupid birth mother that wanted to give Bella up, but I stuck around and tried. That woman didn't want Bella, so she took her to a foster care system and I tried to get her back, but the baby was gone and next thing you know, six years later, she's with you and I assumed you took her."

"What?" Bella's voice cracked and the boys looked at her.

"Anyway, now that I'm indestructible and you're not... I'm gonna make sure it stays that way." Drex finished, ignoring his feelings of sadness for losing Bella.

Drex moved to the side and Henry and Ray tried to stop him, but it was to late. Drex pointed the blaster at the Densitizer and blasted it, causing it to disappear and Ray stumbled forwarded.

"No!"

"Are you insane?" Henry cried, catching his friend and Bella turned to them with a sad look.

Bella was still under Drex's control, but she was sad and felt horrible. Her own birth mother didn't want her. Drex laughed evilly and the boys didn't know what to do next.

Bella felt a tear in her eye and it slipped down her cheek. Her body felt weird and she groaned, holding her head.

"Bella!" Henry yelled and grabbed his girlfriend. "Baby, what's wrong?"

"Don't touch her!" Drex yelled but Henry ignored him and focused on her.

"What's happening?" Ray asked.

"I don't know." Henry said with panic and moments later, Bella opened her eyes and they were brown again. "Bella?"

Drex looked at her with concerned, before Bella passed out and Henry caught her in his arms.

"She's not under his control anymore." Ray said and Drex flared his nostrils at this. "The feeling of sadness most of drove out the mind control."

"Thank goodness." Henry sighed with relief.

"Okay, Drex, we're willing to make a deal with you."

"Oh, are you?" Drex asked Ray.

"You let us go and promise not to cause us anymore trouble." Ray began.

"Yeah?" Drex said.

"And...well...yes or no, we got a deal?" Ray negotiated.

"Counter offer. I blast the two of you out of existence and I take Bella back." Drex protested and reset the time gun, pointing it at then.

"No!"

The three froze and Bella stood up straight. "How about this?"

She walked forward a little. "You let Henry and my dad go, you leave them alone and never bother them again."

"Okay?"

"And I'll go with you." Bella concludes and their shocked the superheroes.

"Bella?!" Ray exclaimed.

"Are you crazy, Airy?!"

"I'll never escape, I won't run." She reasoned and Drex lowered the gun. "Just let them go and you and I can be together, forever. Just the way you want."

"Bella...don't do do this." Henry pleaded and she ignored him.

"Just let them go." Bella repeated, sternly as Drex gave her a serious look.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed around Ray and Henry and Henry instinctively grabbed Bella. She looked back at Henry and Ray and she pushed her way out of Henry's grasp and he looked at her as their bodies disappeared.

Drex looked around the room for them and Bella stood there with sorrow.

Sometimes the hardest decision is the right decision

——

Thirty Minutes Earlier

"What do we do?" Henry asked as Drex was being Densitized right before Ray switches off the machine.

Carl ran over to Ray, "hey, you! Don't touch that!"

"Daddy, not now!" Ray yelled.

"Daddy?" Carl asked and Drex stumbled out of the machine, but his left hand had changed form. It was a monster claw.

"Look at his hand." Henry began, but they were all cut off by a blue light appearing in the room and everyone moved back. Right then, Captain Man and Kid Danger appeared and past Ray and past Henry were shocked.

"Oh wow." Ray said when he saw his future self, but as Captain Man.

"This is-"

"So freaky." Past Henry finished for future Henry.

"Good lord, I'm handsome." Future Ray said.

"I was just about to say that." Past Ray chirped.

"For real?" Future Ray asked.

"Yeah, man!" Past Ray said. "I'm standing here looking at you and I'm like-

"Dang!"

"Hey, shut up!" Drex snapped.

"Oh, dear." Carl panicked.

"Ray, look at his hand." Future Henry pointed at Drex's hand.

"I see it." Future Ray said, "we came here to late! Drex is already Densitized and Bella is under his control!"

The four of them look over at Bella, who was now standing up.

"But he hasn't destroyed the Densitizer yet!" Future Henry reasoned.

"What are you talking about?!" Drex asked.

"I would also like to know what you are talking about." Carl interfered.

"Ray, you and Henry get Professor Manchester and all the other people out of this building!" Future Henry ordered his and Ray's past selves.

"But we gotta stay here and fight Drex and save my daughter!" Ray protested.

"No, we'll handle that!" Future Ray assured him.

"Trust us, we know what we're doing, we're twenty minutes older!" Future Henry remarked.

"Okay." Past Henry agreed and him and Past Ray began to lead Carl away.

Past Ray looked at his future self. "You're so handsome!"

Future Ray gave him a smile, before the past selves left and Drex stepped up with Bella at his side.

"Take care of Bella, I got Drex." Ray told Henry who nodded and pulled the syringe out of his pocket.

It was a special liquid that was supposed to remove Drex's mind control.

"What's wrong with your arm, Ray?" Drex asked Ray as Henry approached Bella, slowly.

"What's wrong with your face?" Ray countered.

"Dude! Nice!" Henry praised.

"Thanks! Just came to me." Ray replied.

"Keep laughing cause I stopped little you from being Densitized which means I'm the only one in the room who's indestructible!" Drex explained and Bella looked over at him as he spoke.

"I'm sorry..." Henry apologized to Bella, before he grabbed her and stabbed her neck with the needle and she yelled out. Moments later, she blacked out and Henry caught her in his arms.

"Hey!" Drex yelled, "what was that for?"

Henry gently laid her down on the floor and kissed her head. "I love you."

"What happened?" The three look over and see young Ray waking up.

"It's little you." Henry said.

"Yeah!" Ray agreed.

"Look out! It's Dr. Night Night!" Young Ray exclaimed, pointing at Drex.

"Dr...no, no, no." Ray denied, "it's Captain Man. See I never went-"

Drex attacked Ray and punched his back and shoved him into the wall.

"Ah!" Ray yelled as he fell to the floor.

"Captain Man!" Henry yelled, kneeling at his side. Drex blocked Young Ray from approaching them and stood in front of Bella.

"Just get little me into that Densitizer and pull the lever." Ray groaned in pain to Henry. "Don't worry about me and protect Bella."

"I think Kid Danger should worry about ya." Drex remarked.

Ray sat up, "hang on? Where'd my fist go?"

Drex went up to him. "It's right there!"

"Oh right." Ray said and soaked Drex right in his face. Henry approached Young Ray and kneeled down next to Bella.

Drex recovered and picked up Ray, tossing him out of the room.

Henry quickly reacted and moved Young Ray.

"Okay, come on, we've got to get you in that machine and bombard you with uh...proton beams." Henry hurried.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Young Ray cries as he tried to run, but Henry stopped him.

"No, no! Come back!" Henry picked him up and brought him back to the machine. "We need to do this! This is very important!"

Older Ray crawled into the room. "Hurry! Get little me into the Densitizer!"

Bella groaned, waking up and Henry gasped with a smile.

"Bella!"

She looked up with confusion. "Henry?"

"You're awake!"

"I am?" She asked, "I feel like I'm dreaming."

Eventually, Henry was able to push Young Ray into the machine.

"I'm trying to make you a superhero!" Henry yelled before he shoved young Ray into the Densitizer and pulled the lever, activating it.

Older Ray tumbled back into the room and Bella stumbled to her feet. Drex walked in and gestured to Ray, who wobbled over and grabbed a bat. He gave Henry a nod, before charging at Drex and Henry immediately hugged Bella with one arm.

"I'm so confused." She said.

"I know, but you're safe now, Princess." He kissed her head and smiled, before he switched off the Densitizer and Young Ray stumbled out. Henry and Bella caught him.

"Are you okay?" Henry asked him.

"Yeah! I feel great!" He smiled.

Henry grabbed a metal pole and smacked Young Ray's head with it.

"Ow!" Young Ray cried, but he smiled and removed his hands. "Hey! That only hurt for a second!"

Henry and Bella smiled at this and right then Drex and Ray rentered the room. Henry pushed Bella behind him and blocked Young Ray from moving.

Drex attacked Ray and shoved him into a wall. Bella gasped, grabbing Henry's arm and Ray gasped.

"Ah! Ah!" Ray's body began to twitch and glow, and Bella smiled when she saw her father regain his strength moments later.

"Captain Man! How do you feel?!" Henry asked him.

"In two letters. O-" He punched Drex in the stomach. "K!" He soaked Drex in the face and he tumbled to the floor.

"Sorry, Drex." Henry apologized as he and Bella went up to Ray. "Look like Captain Man's indestructible again."

"Everywhere."

Bella hugged her father, who hugged her back tightly.

"Dad.."

"Hi cookie." He sighed, "I'm so glad my little girl's okay."

"Well, so I am! I'm gonna take Bella back!" Drex growled, standing up and Ray and Henry moved their way in front of Bella.

It was like slow motion as Ray, Henry, and Drex all yelled at one another. Bella stood there yelling, grabbing her face as they all jumped at each other, but a blue light encased the three of them and Bella and they disappeared.

——

In the Man Cave

"Here they come!" Schwoz yelled, pointing to the four figures in the time portal. Suddenly, Ray and Henry appeared in the Man Cave with Schwoz, Charlotte, and Jasper.

"Hey! You got them back!" Charlotte cheered and they greeted one another.

"What about Bella?!" Ray asked and they all turned to see Bella still stuck in the time portal.

"She's still in the portal!" Charlotte gasped.

"Schwoz! How do we get her out?!" Henry cried.

"Reach in and grab her! You should be able to pull her in!" Schwoz exclaimed.

Henry and Ray both went over to to the portal.

"Be careful! Don't grab Drex!" Schwoz warned them right before they reached into the portal for Bella. Bella couldn't see much, but she was able to see two hands.

"Bella!"

"Hey, Bella!

"Grab our hands!"

"Grab them!"

She reached for the hands and grabbed both of them.

"Now pull her in!" Schwoz yelled and Henry and Ray yanked Bella through the portal. She landed on the floor of the Man Cave and Henry and Ray both kneeled down to her.

"You got her!" Charlotte beamed.

"Yes!" Jasper cheered with relief.

"Baby, you okay?" Henry asked his girlfriend, rubbing her shoulder.

"She's fine." Ray assured him and kissed his daughter's forehead. "She's with us."

Henry and Ray fist bumped with success. They got Bella back.

The duo helped her up and she groaned, rubbing her forehead.

"What happened?" She asked and almost collapsed in Henry's arms.

"Woah!"

"She's a little unstable from being under Drex's control." Schwoz told us. "But she's fine. And look it!"

The team turned to see Drex still in the portal and they all yelled, causing Bella to yell too.

"What's going on?" Ray asked.

"I have him trapped in a time warp." Schwoz told them.

"A time warp?"

"What does that mean?" Charlotte asked and Schwoz rolled his eyes, groaning.

"It's means he's stuck in limbo." Schwoz explained and Bella leaned against Henry's chest, causing him to rub her back. "It's like he's floating in time, somewhere between the past, the present, and the future."

"Okay, Ray hold her." Henry put Bella in Ray's arms and pushed Schwoz away. "Schwoz! Move!" He went up to the time portal controls. "Okay, okay, okay. Time destination to this date..." Henry typed in the new date and looked back at everyone. "Minus...one hundred million years." He put in the year and grabbed the lever and Ray nodded as he grabbed it too. They yanked the lever down and the lasers blasted the portal and Drex yelled. Ray and Henry grabbed Bella, holding her close as this happened and Drex's body vanished into thin air.

"Yeah!" Jasper yelled and everyone cheered and celebrated with one another.

"Yay!" Bella cheered in Henry's arms. "Why are we cheering?"

"Because you're safe and with us again." Henry said and kissed her forehead, holding her close.

Suddenly, the time portal began to shake and short circuit. Henry held Bella back and Schwoz ran forward.

"What's going on?!" Henry asked.

"Oh dear!" Schwoz gasped and ran over to the controls.

"What's going on with time machine?!" Bella asked, holding Henry's arms.

"It's overloading!" Schwoz yelled, before panicking. "Ah! It's gonna explode! It's gonna kill us all! It will kill us all! Ah!"

"No not me! Just you guys!" Ray shrugged and everyone else, besides Charlotte, began to panic and freak out.

Right before the machine was about to explode, Ray rushed over and huddled everyone together

"Get behind me! Get behind me!" Ray shouted as he shielded everyone and suddenly the portal shut off completely.

Charlotte walked over with the plug to the machine in her hand and everyone turned to her.

"I unplugged it." She told them, "you're welcome."
