Chapter 1: The Soldier

It was a beautiful March evening, the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in sight and the rovers hoping to relax and enjoy a day like this, instead, however they were forced to bring some much needed materials to Washington D.C. Dulles Internatioal Airport. The rovers were unloading cargo from the sky rover to a ware house "Ugh, of all the bloody day's to be helpful it has to be on a day like this!" Colleen complained.

"Come on Colleen, it's not that bad" Hunter replied moving a large crate on a dolly.

"Ja, I agree with Colleen it's to nice out to work" Blitz agreed.

"See Huntie, even Blitz agrees with me" Colleen said. Colleen and Blitz made a deal that if Blitz stopped flirting with her that Colleen would stopping calling him by a different name and would stop kicking him into a wall. So far this deal had worked in their favor for the both of them.

"Well, the more you complain the longer we'll be here" Hunter added in.

The rovers continued moving crates into the ware house for the next hour. Exile was pushing the final crate on a dolly and stored it in the ware house and then exited the ware house back to the sky rover, only to see his fellow rovers sitting on the ramp of the sky rover sitting by a cooler drinkng bottled water. "Here you go Exile " Hunter said passing Exile a bottle of water.

Exile wiped the sweat from his forehead and drank deeply the water was ice cold and refreshing down his dry throat. Exile heard the loud roar of a plane and looked up to see a military cargo plane coming in to land "Look comrades, the troops are coming homeski" Exile said as they all looked up.

"Huh?, I wonder where they came from?" Hunter asked.

"I don't know?" Colleen replied.

"Well, that doesn't mean we shouldn't given then a warm welcome" Hunter said.

So they waited for the cargo plane to land and once it did they stood by the back of the plane away from the ramp of course to greet the troops. The troops coming off the plane were a little confused on why six dogs were greeting them, but it was still a warm welcome at the most "Welcome back"each rover said shaking a soldiers hand as the walked off. They even saw four German Shepherds get off the plane with the troops, each was wearing an army green harness. Colleen caught two soldiers and a black German Sheperd walk off to the side, "Huntie" Colleen said.

"Huh?, what is it Colleen?" Hunter asked.

"Those two soldiers with that dog what are they doing?" Colleen asked confused.

"I don't know? Let's go see" Hunter replied.

Hunter and Colleen walked over to the two as one soldier left. "Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Hunter asked.

"This fella here" the soldier said pointing to the black German Shepherd "His owner got killed and we're trying to figure out who would like to take in or we'll just have to send him to the pound until someone adopts him. It's a shame though he's a good dog very obedient ." the soldier said.

Colleen looked at Hunter and then back to the soldier "Can you stay here for a minute?" Colleen asked. While the soldier nodded "Thanks" Colleen said quickly as she pulled Hunter away to talk to him in private. "We should take him in" Colleen said.

"What? Colleen are you sure we don't even know who he is" Hunter said.

"So, you know what Master always says theirs a rover in every dog and besides what if he gets takened to the pound and no one adopts him? He'll get gassed Huntie" Colleen pleaded.

Hunter looked into her eyes, she was right if that dog didn't get adopted then he'd get killed and that wasn't fair. "Alright, Colleen" Hunter said. As he walked over to the soldier "We'll take him, I'm sure he'd make a great road rover" Hunter said sighing.

"Alright" the soldier said with a smile. As he wrote something on a clipboard "take good care of him" he said as the soldier left. Hunter knelt down and looked at the dog, well he was a black German Sheperd with brown eyes and his collar read "Johnny Michaels" Hunter got up and was about to ask the dog to follow him when Johnny got up in a second before he could say a word.

Hunter wanted to test Johnny's obedence "Johnny run to the sky rover and don't move until I get there!" Hunter commanded. And they watched Johnny ran to the sky rover and sit down "Dang, we should get him to train muzzle" Hunter said in amazement.

"I abso-bloomin-lutely agree" Colleen replied in amazement. Shag walked into the sky rover and froze and turned around to see Johnny sitting there as still as a statue "Rxile rho's rhis?"(Exile who's this) Shag asked. As Exile came to see what Shag was talking about. "I do not knowski?" Exile said just as confused. Minutes later Hunter and Colleen arrived at the sky rover where everyone was stareing at Johnny.

Blitz turned around to see Hunter "Hunter who is this?" Blitz asked. "That Blitz, is our new recruit" Hunter responded. They took off in the sky rover and the whole trip was of silence and confusion, once the rovers landed back at hq they explained to Master about the situation with Johnny and he agreed. So Johnny stepped inside the Transdogmafier as smoke filled the machine Johnny stepped out.
