Chapter 2: Signaled

Inside Professor Hubert's lab Hunter and Colleen waited as he checked over Colleen, to make sure her and her pregnancy was going according to plan. "Everything's is just fine," He said as he finished listening to her heartbeat.

"Thank you Professor," Colleen responded.

"It's no problem, I want to make sure you and your child is fine when the time comes."

"Speaking of that," Hunter spoke. "When do you think it'll be time?"

"Any day now," He responded with a smile. He then looked at his watch then back to the couple, "We're all done here, you two have a good day."

They both nodded as they left the room. As they walked the halls they began a light chatter, "Man I can't believe it," Hunter said.

"I know, it just makes me so happy to know our child is going to be here soon," Colleen responded.

They both stopped in the hall and faced each other, "And I'm so grateful for all the help that everyone has given us."

She nodded, "I know' it's really good to have friends that can be called family."

They both hugged each other as they stood in silence. "I would have never believed my life would turn out like this. Being apart of a team, falling in love and getting married. And now starting a family."

"I can relate to that, who would have thought that fate had this planned for us?" nothing else was said as they broke apart and continued to walk down the hall, finding something to do.

Unknown Island

A figure, dressed in black panted as he race down one of the many corridors of the base he was in. he'd gotten lost and now couldn't find his way out. Even worse his enemy knew he was there and had his men and robots searching for him. Most likely there was a lock down and his chances of escape may be limited. His ears perked as he heard rapid footsteps approaching him. Quickly he pressed himself against the wall and concentrated. He saw two guards walking past him, as if he was invisible. They stopped at an intersection and looked around, "Where is he!"

"Don't know, where ever he is he's a good hider."

"No matter the boss said his robots will be able to locate him, and don't forget those other traps we laid."

Nothing else was said as they went down another direction. Once they were out of view the figure sighed in relief, "That was close…now how do I get out of here? Let's try the comm. again" the figure slid his sleeve up, reveling a wrist comm. He pressed a button but static was all that came. "Not again…there must be some sort of jammer around here"

He turned off the comm. and continued his way through the base. After a few minutes of wandering he came across a door and decided to investigate. As he went through he found himself in a dim room. From what he could see it looked like some kind of cargo hold. There were walkways and various crates scattered around. He was about to leave when he heard some thumps coming from behind. Knowing someone was coming he rushed into the room and hid. After a few seconds the sound stopped; deciding to chance it he looked out from behind the crate he was hiding from. His eyes raised as he saw a humanoid robot standing at the entrance, holding a laser rifle. He stood real still as he waited for it to leave.

The robot's eyes turned bright red and then scanned the room. The head stopped then opened fired at his location. He duck back behind cover, shocked at how he could have seen him. "How did he do that? There's no way he could have seen me!" Deciding to take care of his current situation before it altered anyone else he took out an EMP grenade, pulled the pin and tossed it. After few seconds static rang into his ears followed by the thump of the robots body.

Taking that as his cue he out of the room and ran down a random hall. He needed an escape plan and fast. He had no idea how long he could keep up running.

Back to the Rovers

Hunter and Colleen both sat on the steps leading to the beach. Both needed some fresh air and decided to come out, but they weren't the only ones. They watched Blitz, Krystal, Exile, and Jenna having fun on the beach. They watched as Blitz and Krystal were seated underneath a tree talking while Exile and Jenna were playing in the ocean. "They all seem a lot happier," Hunter stated.

Colleen nodded with a smile, "I agree I never really seen them like this. Guess being married brought out more love for each other."

"Just like us," He said with a smile.

They didn't say anything else as they looked back at the scene before them. Blitz laughed a bit as he held Krystal in his arms and kissed her on her neck. Krystal laughed also as she felt affected, "Blitz stop that."

He just smiled as he spoke, "I'm sorry I can't help it, I just love you so much."

"I know you do, and I love you also." They both kissed each other and then held on to each other.

Exile and Jenna were enjoying themselves as they playfully chased each other. Exile caught her and then lifted her up in the air and spun around, both were laughing. Eventually he fell backwards and landed on the soft sand with Jenna on top of him. "Man I have much fun," Exile said.

Jenna laughed a bit, "I know, I'm having a blast also."

"Being with you is wonderful."

"Same for you," She responded as they both kissed each other.

Hunter and Colleen had smiles on their faces as they watched the two couples. "They're truly meant to be together, just like us."

"I know, and another thing is for sure is that I know that they will one day be blessed like us."

Hunter sighed in joy as he wrapped his arms around Colleen, "I know, but for now let's focus on us, we're expecting soon after all." She also sighed in joy as she rested her head on her husband's chest today was turning to be great.

In the Master's chambers he happily sat at his desk, watching various monitor, checking to see if there was any trouble out in the world. His happiness was attributed to Hunter and Colleen's miracle. When he first heard about it he was overjoyed at the news. That in general brought up the spirits in everyone. He turned when he heard a familiar bouncing sound. He turned to find Muzzle right next to him. "Hello Scout," he said as he petted him on his head. "Are you happy for your two friends?" Muzzle his usually sound as he nodded. "I bet you are."

All of a sudden a beep was heard. The Master turned his attention back to his monitor as he typed in a few commands. A map of an island in the pacific appeared as a red dot flashed somewhere near the middle of the land. "That's odd…it looks like a beacon. But from whom? Wait that's a distress beacon! I better alert the Rover immediately." He stood up from his chair as he left his chamber, with Muzzle following behind. He had a bad feeling about this but knew it had to be check out.
