3 minutes.
Rowlf held the head-lamp steady while Bunsen deftly attacked the machine. He seemed to know exactly where to prod, where to touch, what to feel. Within seconds Bunsen had an idea, within moments he and Beaker were working on that idea. And thirty seconds after they began, Bunsen had the machine's side panel off.
Gonzo picked up the wooden heart from the floor, it was gnarnled and twisted with age. He'd never seen wood that seemed so old, yet so strong. He tapped it against the floor. Perfectly hard still. He moved towards Rowlf to show him.
Bunsen and Beaker slipped the inside workings of the machine out, carefully but hurriedly working the machanics onto the floor. There were hudreds of wires tangled around a single object. Beaker meeped, pointing at where one wire had been cut. Something about the clean sliced wire was familar.
"Rowlf, look at this wooden heart," Gonzo began, but was interupted by Bunsen.
"Beaker, look, a wooden heart!"
And there was. Deep in the centre of the wires, was a wooden heart of bark with a splash of color. The wires all began and ended there. It was a control and nerve centre. The Heart of the Rainbow.
140 seconds
Mrs Nancy rolled, pinning Beauhoth to the floor under her. Her teeth gnashed near his face. "How dare you try and take the kingdom back!" Beauhoth shoved her off him, flipping her over.
"I dare because I care," he hissed.
130 seconds
Mrs Regard supported Beautingleroth's arm as she ran with him. They reatched the castle gate. A bolt of lightning struck the ground and tossed them aside like rags. Torential rain swept the countryside. MRs Regard's eyes were wide with fear. What was this thing? Rain had never before come to Reanbu.
110 seconds
Beauregard walked swiftly along the corridor. He stopped before a door and turned the handle. It was a cupboard, the kind he was used to in his line fo work. Janitor supplies. Buckets. Mops. Cleaning chemicals. And the Heart of Love. Beau knelt, and lifted a floor board. "Hurry Beau. Hurry."

Skeeter looked at Scooter, nodded. "Now," she said. Now was the time to put into use the rigerous training she had put herself through in the jungle. And the training she had passed on to her brother after they had met, after she had trained him, fought him, and revealed she was his sister. Skeeter put aside the thoughts. There wasn't time.
"Now," Scooter said. They moved as one, flying through the air, landing. Mrs Nancy had thrown Beauhoth against a wall. Robin bit her ankle. She whirled her chains and advanced of Skeeter ansd Scooter. Scooter dodged left, Skeeter wet right. The chains bit into the wall, raking a furrow in the bricks. Scooter jumped forward, jabbed, and back, Skeeter covered, rolling and trying to throw Mrs Nancy off balence.
1 minute
Beauregard felt inside the gaping hole in the floor where the floorboard had been. His fingers wrapped around a wooden object.
50 seconds
Beautingleroth and Mrs Regard ran through the blades of rain. They slammed open the door to the castle and ran inside. Their footsteps echoed. Mrs Nancy turned to look back at the black rain. Iit had snuffed out their flame-touch light and left them in darkness. Beautingleroth rested a hand on her shoulder. She clung to it. Thunder rocked the fountations of the castle.

Miss Piggy had had quite enough. She flung her hair back out of her eyes, and charged into the midst of the battle.

Beauregard lifted the hard Heart of Love from it's hiding place. He cradled it in his hands. He knew what it was, the Rainbow was telling him. In the second it had died, the rainbow had found a creature that would let it control them. A creature of small interlect that would believe on faith. Robin Frog was too young. Beauregard had been the one. The Raibow had guided him. He had found the Heart. He would be saved. The others, would not... "You can save us, me, them," The Rainbow said, imparting it's last knowldege into Beauregard's mind. Then it was gone.

The Heart of Time burned red-hot, scoulding Gonzo's hand.
9.
Gonzo yelled, dropped the heart that had been held back for so many thousands of years by the rainbow. While the rainbow had lived, it had protected Reanbu from time. Now Reanbu would receive it all. All time. All at once.
8, 7, 6.
The Heart cracked open and a white dusty light spread in a circle from it.
5, 4, 3
It stopped, drew back...

...and then it happened.
One...
All Time. All At Once. All Time. All At Once. All Time.
It had happened first to the birds. Time had escaped, it's ticking echo heard by Skeeter and Robin, it's effects seen by the inhabitents and felt by the birds.
Now it hapened to them all.
Gonzo. It started with his feet and worked up, skin greying, fur falling, his nose flaked. Rowlf bowed and shrank in age. Bunsen's glasses frame crumpled, the glass aged, and cracked. Beaker's sock frayed as his body turned to dust.
The white light swept the castle, smashing windows, aging walls, twisting wooden door frames beyond recognition.
Skooter and Skeeter stopped in the air, then fell to the floor. Miss Piggy's hair grew grey and thin. Crow's feet appeared edging her eyes. Her skin wrinkled, clothes melted to rags. Kermit too was gone...
Mrs Regard clung to Beautingleroth as they grew old together.
Sam's bright feather's faded, that twinkle in his eyes dissapeared.
It broke from the castle, the white light exploding from cracks in the walls, it burt through everything, grass whithered, flowers rotted and died, tree reared up lost their leaves, and fell. Animals. People. Plants. It all received all time. All at once. And then it stopped.
Mrs Nancy stood, head held high. She started to laugh.
