Time Force/Out of Place
Arriving within Japan, 1124 A.D. As I was on the north end of the land and currently on mechanical horseback. Searching for the time travelling German superhero, Time Knight. Who I’ve helped once while searching for my mysterious supervillain. (Learn more in Metal Cowboy: Lawman) An had just reached this small village near the ocean. Where my eyes spotted something I didn’t expect at all. For it was a pirate ship not far from the mainland. An not just any ship, but the notorious Queen Ann’s Revenge. Which belong to the most evil pirate ever known; Blackbeard. Which was a huge surprise and also spotting the German superhero; Time Knight. Standing at 5′8, short brown hair, wearing his metal mask and blue color eyes. Fighting alongside somebody else, who seem to be a samurai. That were both holding off an attacking pirate crew in the village. Causing me to ride over there and fast.

Time Force/Too Many
Rushing over there on horseback I readied my laser pistols an quickly began shooting at the pirates. That were shooting at Time Knight and what seem to be a samurai wielding a bow. With me taking many of the pirates down with my laser pistols an stunned them. With both men looking surprise as I kept shooting away. Until one of the pirates shot me with an armor piercing bullet. Hitting me within my lower left arm and then causing me to fall off my horse. Hitting the ground hard while in pain as I fired back. Stunning the man where he stood before taking cover and spoke. Hello Time Knight. For it is I, Sir. John. Surprised here he replied. Sir John? Is that really you? I reply while watching the pirates begin retreating. I’m afraid so. With the enemy throwing smoke bombs and quickly escaping from the village. While still shooting at us as the samurai spoke. Do you know this man? Time Knight replied. It’s thou long story. Which I shall answer, after we stop thy fiends from escaping.

Time Force/Zero Splash
Rushing towards the water, despite my arm injury. I was hoping to catch these pirates and find out how Blackbeard was out here. When he’s never been to Japan in his entire life. As the smoke cleared and could see that they were gone. But also saw no signs of any rowboats either. Which really confused me until spotting them flying to their large pirate ship onboard some sort of flying boats. Who watched them get onboard and then suddenly disappeared. Shocking the samurai as he spoke. What strange sorcery is this? With Time Knight surely wondering the same thing. With me facing them and speaking. Men....I know your both shocked. Just as I am. But....it’s very important. That we have ourselves an important chat. On what has happened here.

Time Force/Knights Story
Sitting with both Time Knight and the samurai calling himself Spirit Walker. He explained to me that they saw the strange pirates by accident and how they were stealing whatever gold they could from the village. Causing the two to rush down here an try to stop them. But quickly ran into trouble when the pirates began using their gunpowder weapons against them. An weren’t too sure if they were going to win or not. Until I showed up an saved their lives. With me very surprised by all this. As a curious Time Knight asked me. Sir. John, why are thou wearing such strange clothing. Instead of thy armor? I told him. Because Time Knight. My name isn’t Sir. John. For it’s John Eagle. An I’m a time traveler like yourself. But....from the future. Both of them were even more surprised. With a curious Spirit Walker asking. Then does that mean. Those strange fiends were....time travelers? I sadly reply. Yes. An that means big trouble for everyone.

Time Force/Lied
Standing up Time Knight asked me in a somewhat mad voice. Tell me thou John. Why did thy lie to me when we first met? I told him. Because I didn’t have a choice. For I was hunting an unknown fiend. Who was causing trouble in many different lands. All of which want him behind bars. But don’t know where he’s hiding and been hunting him for a long time. Yet alone who serves him. This made the German knight less mad at me. Though it still didn’t fix what happened here. As Spirit Walker asked me. Do you know who attacked this village? I sadly answered his question. I’m afraid so. For his name is Blackbeard and he’s a very evil man. Who’s clearly found a way to time travel. But also causing very big problems like this as well. This made Time Knight respond back. Thou sadly knows this fiend. For thy once fought his crew long ago. An thee would never think I see him again. An must now hunt him down. For what thou fiend has done here. I replied back. Not without my help. For I may be wounded. But facing those men alone. Is a quest you can’t handle alone. Weather you admit it or not.

Time Force/Two Heads
With Time Knight travelling alongside me and having Spirit Walker stay behind. In case Blackbeard decided to come back. I lead the German knight to my Time Ship. Which surprised the man as he spoke. What manner of object is this? I told him. A really good one, now follow me. Who lead him onboard and had the man sit down an hold on tight. As we quickly got a signal on Blackbeard’s ship. With no time to fetch the team. We had no choice but to go after him now. Before he does something really terrible.

Time Force/Greece
Arriving within Athens/Greece, 1985. During the evening hours. As I landed us near the docks where we got out and a curious Time Knight looked all around us while speaking. What strange land is this? I told him. We’re in Greece, within the future. Where Blackbeard an his crewmen have traveled onboard their ship. An has to be around somewhere. He believed this as we started searching around. While making sure not to be spotted by security. Until we’ve spotted his vessel within the faraway distance and me using a pair of high tech binoculars. Allowing me to spot his crewmen heading back to their ship. With an unknown mask person tied up and clearly in danger.

Time Force/Hostage
Lowering the binoculars here I quickly began speaking. We’ve got a problem. With Time Knight curiously asking. What is wrong? I told him. They’ve taken someone prisoner and that we’ve got to save them. Before Blackbeard does something terrible. Hearing this he reply. Are thou going to sail through the sky? I reply. No, if we try approaching with the Time Ship. Then they’ll see us coming. Which we can’t let happen. He now asked. Then how do thy reach them? Without being scene? I told him. By being sneaky. Who got him to help me unload a special hover raft out of the Time Ship an then used it head over there quickly. Before things get really bad.

Time Force/Ship Rescue
Quietly sneaking up on the large pirate ship. Both Time Knight an I used our raft to float up enough to climb upward and spot the prisoner being held before Blackbeard. Who was dress within a blue an yellow costume, standing at 5′8, light blue color eyes and didn’t seem to be armed. While being held by Blackbeard’s crewmen. Making sure that he couldn’t fight back and my wounded arm causing me a good deal of pain. Yet knew if I let go here. Then I might fall not only onto the raft, but maybe off of it. An crash into the water below. Where I would be serious trouble. Since I couldn’t exactly swim. With Time Knight whispering as the mask man was being beaten by Blackbeard’s fists. What should we do? I told him. We save him. Who boldly climbed up and grabbed two of the pirates close by. Pulling them both down before launching our bold attack.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Time Force/Clash
Shooting an stunning two of the pirates holding the mask man prisoner. He quickly gave us a hand by grabbing one of their swords and started fighting off the pirates here. With Time Knight bravely clashing against Blackbeard. Who was angry as he spoke. How dare you heroes come onboard my ship. time Knight replied back. Thou Blackbeard, should have known better. Then to attack thy innocent village. An that thee are going to jail. He then spoke. That shall never happen. As he and his crew fought hard against us. As they started pulling out their more modern guns and began firing. Putting all of us within serious danger. With me quickly shouting. Fall back! That’s when we all fled an hoped onto the hovering raft. Before flying ourselves out of here. Then risk losing a man to these dangerous pirates.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Time Force/Forced Retreat
Watching as we fled towards the mainland. Blackbeard’s ship quickly disappeared from view as the stranger with us looked really confused before asking. Who are you two? Where did that ship go? An why did you save my life? All of these were good questions as I told him while steering the hover raft. I’m Metal Cowboy, an this is Time Knight. We’re superheroes who were hunting those pirates. Until they’ve sadly escaped. But will worry about that later. For right now. I like to know who we just saved here. Hearing this he told us. I’m Captain Trident. Who is also a superhero that was trying to stop those pirates. Until they sadly captured me and very grateful for the rescue as well. We were glad to hear it. As we chatted more on the mainland an explained more of the situation to him. Who seem to understand and surely shocked by this too. As he soon spoke. If what your telling me is all true. Then I would ask you. To let me come with you, to track down these pirates and bring them to justice.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
Time Force/Third Man
Surprised by what he was suggesting here. Time Knight spoke. Are thou sure of this? For thy pirates are not kind to heroes. An if thee are captured, then it would thou doom. Facing me he asked in a confused voice. Why is he talking like that? I simply reply. It’s a long story. But also not the point.For I want to know, are you sure of this? For if you do this. Then we can’t promise your safety. Captain Trident replied. I’m sure. An with that said we welcomed him to our mission and prepared the Time Ship. Before heading off to fetch one of my team members Phantom of Mist. Who was more then ready to join us. Though it seem the rest of Time Force seem to have their hands full. An would have to face this enemy, with those we’ve got.

Time Force/Head Pain
Searching through different time periods, we were so far having no luck. In finding Captain Blackbeard and his ship. Which wasn’t good while noticing Captain Trident. Suffering from what seems to be a very horrible headache. With me curiously asking him. You alright partner? He reply. I’m....fine. For I’m just....dealing with a headache is all. I believed this as we kept searching around. When my ships systems seem to be detecting something. With me quickly checking and sure enough found him. Within the waters ofFrance, 15th Century.Causing me to speak. Ready yourselves men, for we’ve got us some pirates to fight.
