CHAPTER 1. 4 YEARS LATER.
(28 IN DOG YEARS.)
Hunter chewed on his tennis ball as he listened in on the president's phone conversation with the other world leaders.
"Now please, tell your people not to panic, I can assure you, this coal shortage will get sorted out as soon as we can pinpoint the problem…yes…yes our people are working on the situation right now…yes I'll see to it that it is handled."
The president hung up the phone and went to his liquor cabinet. The minute he left, Hunter heard a dog howl and the Master's voice calling him.
"Hunter, your assistance is needed."
Hunter sprang out from under the table and made his way to Road Rover HQ.
"Man! I love that machine." Hunter said as he stepped out of the transdogmafier, he went to the mission room where he was greeted by the other Rovers.
"So what's up with you guys?" He asked them.
"Well, I was having a quite peaceful morning, but my owner was pretty tensed on the call with your owner." Colleen said.
"So was my owner." Blitz added.
"It was all about the shortage of the coal." Exile said.
"And that's what your mission is today Rovers." The Master appeared.
"The coal shortage was pinpointed at the producing source, a group of cainomutants was spotted at the scene. I suspect that Parvo is behind all this."
"Isn't he behind like almost every single mission we're sent on?" Hunter said.
"Well, when you put it that way yes, now go and stop Parvo at whatever it costs. Oh and when you get back" The Master paused.
"Master, what's wrong?" Colleen asked with concern.
"What I'm trying to say" The Master continued. "Is that when you get back I have something to show you."
"All right then, let's hit the road Rovers!" Hunter called out.
"I am all ready for the biting of the tooshies." Blitz said.
"Don't be weird boy." Exile said to him as usual.
Hunter shook his head and led the Rovers to the launch bay. The Master walked into a laboratory containing a cryogenic chamber, he walked up to it and peered inside.
"I know you were the one who did this to her Parvo." The Master said to himself. "And mark my words, the Rovers will know the truth and she will be awakened."
Parvo and Groomer evacuated the scene as Muzzle wildly tore up the entire place.
"To the power of the pack!" Hunter called out.
The Rovers responded with the usual Aaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
"Well our work here is done Rovers, so lets get back to headquarters." Hunter told everyone.
"What do you think the Master wants to show us?" Exile asked everyone.
"I don't know." Colleen said.
"Rah rah roo rah roof oof ah rah rah." Shag suggested.
"No, I don't think that's it Shag." Colleen replied.
"Well whatever it is, it had better be a good worth of my attention." Blitz said as he got into the Sonic Rover.
"Well let's go back and find out." Hunter said as he climbed in with the others and flew the big jet back to headquarters.
