Author's Note: Sorry for the wait, I took a couple of day to prepare for a convention I went to but now i'm done with this chapter. Enjoy.
Chapter 3: Friends or Foes
Both shocked Rovers stared in disbelief at the jet right in front of them, "How in the…where did this come from?" Axel was the first to speak.
"I don't know, but we best do something," Colleen responded.
"I think we best call the others in case it might catch fire," Ariel suddenly spoke as she walked right next to them.
"Alright, Colleen call the others, I'll in form the Master that our base might have been compromised," Axel instructed as both tapped into their comms.
"Hunter I need you to bring everyone out here, and bring some fire extinguishers," the collie spoke, then a second later she got a response.
"Colleen? What was sound?"
"Just do as I say and come out to the beach, you'll see."
There was some commotion in the background as Hunter instructed what to do. "Ok we're on our way." The line was then disconnected.
"Master it's Axel, we have a problem," It took only a second before a voice responded.
"Axel what has happened?" The voice seemed concerned about the situation
"Our base might have been compromised, a jet of some kind landed in the sand. We don't know if there are anyone inside, or if they're alive or not."
"Have the others been informed?"
"Yes, they're on their way out to help control the situation.
There was a few seconds of silence before the Master's voice came back, "Alright I'm on my way to assist." The transmission cut just as the others came out, Hunter, Exile, and Krystal holding the extinguishers. All of them stopped in shock as the jet came into their vision, but they managed to snap out of it as they moved closer to the scene.
The three rovers moved closer to the site, and could feel the heat coming from the craft. They aimed the nozzles and fired the cold white blast at it. They covered any spot that was smoking and any other spots that were radiating heat. Soon the temperature went down to an acceptable level so they could approach it without burning themselves, but they moved back away from it.
"Mein Gott, where did this come from?" Blitz asked out loud.
"I don't know, but Axel saved me from getting hit by it," Colleen responded.
"Whoa, whoa what do you mean getting hit by it?" Her husband asked as he turned to her.
"Yes it's exactly as it sounds," Axel responded to his brother. "I had a vision of the jet flying towards her. Luckily I had enough time to get her to the ground so it just flew over us."
The retriever opened his mouth to make a response, but was cut off by the Master, "What in the world…where did this come from!?" He rushed out in the sand till he was next to the Rovers.
"I don't know it just appeared from nowhere," Colleen responded.
The Master got a rundown on what happened, it puzzled the man as he wondered how a jet appeared from nowhere.
"Mother Russia!" Exile spoke out, alerting everyone.
"What is it?" Jenna asked her husband.
"I see two people inside!" He pointed out as everyone looked. Indeed they could see the silhouettes of two figures inside the cockpit.
"Axel, Exile go check it out!" The Master ordered.
The two Rovers complied as they moved closer to the jet, now walking on the wing and closing in on the cockpit. The glass cover seemed to have shattered in some places; some sparks could be seen from the inside as smoke came out also. The two then gripped the cover and with some struggle they managed to pull it open, only to step back as some steam rushed out. They waited for a sec for it to clear then looked at the two inside. "Mother Russia!" Exile shouted out.
"Exile what is it!?" Hunter shouted out as the others rushed over to them.
"It's those Felo-mutants again!"
"What!" The original Rovers responded as they moved forward, leaving Axel, Ariel, Jenna and Krystal confused.
"Felo-what?" Ariel spoke up as she moved in too.
Blitz then turned to them and cleared things up, "The cat version of Parvo's Cano-Mutants. Groomer made them before you all joined us."
"Does that mean Parvo found our base?" Jenna suddenly responded, making dread fill everyone else. That was something they couldn't have let happen, if anyone of their enemies found them it would be disaster for all of them.
Thankfully their fears seemed to be put at ease as the Master looked them over, "No…I don't think they're with Parvo."
"How can you be sure?" Colleen asked, kneeling down next to him.
"They don't look mutated like the Cano-mutants…they look like regular…felo-sapiens," He spoke, astonishing all the Rovers, even himself.
"Master is that even…possible?" Hunter asked.
"I don't know for sure…" The Master began thinking. "Get them out of there and into the med bay, treat them for any injuries they have but keep a close eye on them. We don't know if they're friendly or not." Hunter, Blitz and Axel all nodded as the three of them carefully moved and tried to extract the two from the wreck.
"Exile," The Master turned to the Husky. "Get the Professor and tow this ship into the hanger, study it and see if there's anything that may be a threat to us on board."
"Yes Master!" The husky responded as he ran off. They weren't sure of the newcomers, if they pose a threat or not but they would find out soon enough.
A few minutes later the two cat-humans lay on two beds in the med bay. Colleen, Hunter, and Axel and the Master were the only ones present. The Master advised the others to wait for them and would call if they needed back up. After getting them out and inside in some brighter light they were all able to get a clear view of the two. They both were males and wore a red and blue colored G-suit; one had short sleeves while the other is a long sleeve. They had the same colored helmets with some kind of black masks covering their faces.
The first cat was a burly one, pretty built and had yellow fur. Visible on his arms were three light brown stripes and a long sleek tail. The second cat was a little smaller than the first, and wasn't as built but still had some muscle on him. He had ginger like fur color and no other marks on him.
After looking them over the Master turned to the collie, "Colleen, check them over, first make sure if they have a concussion or not. Hunter and Axel will be here just in case they wake up."
"Alright Master," She responded as she moved over to the burly one first.
"Uh…don't you think we should restrain them first?" Hunter asked, as he was worried of what would happen if they woke.
"No, because if they're friendly they'll be freaked out at the situation," The Master responded. The three watched as Colleen looked the first one over, but had trouble with the helmet and mask on. "I'm going to have to take these off, Hunter can you help me?"
The retriever nodded as he moved to the small cat. They took off the helmets and put them together on the tray to the side, the black masks underneath were the only thing covering their faces. Hunter and Colleen both took them off, reveling the faces of the two jet passengers. Their faces were normal, not mutated; this seemed to ease their worries but not completely.
Colleen got to work as she grabbed a small flashlight and opened the eyes lids to shine the light in them. It took minute before she repeated the same thing to the smaller one. Once she finished the light was clicked off, "Well they don't have a concussion, that's for sure, but the bigger one has a lump on his head, and it looks cut." She then took some bandages and started wrapping the head. "Axel can you check the other one while I finish with him?" The Akita nodded as he moved and started inspecting the injuries of the smaller one. The two Rovers looked the two over, there were tears in the suits as small and large cuts could be seen. They were covered in bandages to stop the blood loss.
They also had to take x-rays of the two, so they could see if there were any broken bones. After taking them they all went to into the other room to view the pictures. Colleen had the images up on the light board as they were looked over. "Hmm…the bigger one appears to have a sprained arm while the smaller one nearly broke his leg."
"Man I wouldn't want to be in that crash," Hunter commented from the chair he sat on.
"The arm will have to be in a sling for a couple of days," The Master commented, in his thinking pose. "And it's best we put a splint on the leg, just in case. It's close to being broken, and I doubt that leaving it as it is wouldn't be good. It should heel if all the weight is kept off of it."
Colleen nodded as he and Hunter moved to get the right supplies they needed. "So Master how long do you think they'll be out for?"
"I'm not sure Axel, I'm not sure…" Nothing else was said they prepared to go back into the med bay.
Pain: that was all that the burly cat could feel. Both eyes slowly started to open as a bright light was right above him. "AH!" He cried out, trying to shield both eyes from the light with his right arm, only for pain to flair through it. Sitting up his other arm clutched the injured one, keeping it still till the pain died down. Once the pain was at a tolerable level both eyes opened as he scanned the area he was in. "W-Where am I?" He found himself in a weird med bay, but before he could asses more something else came to mind. "Razor!" Fear began to rise as he began to search for his partner but it was put at ease once he found the ginger cat in the bed next to him. An eye raised once he saw the bandages his buddy was covered in, taking a chance he looked at himself, finding the same thing. A gasp then escaped his mouth as he found his partner's mask and helmet was gone!"
Slowly a hand reached up and touched his face, only to find that his helmet and masks was also gone. Hastily he hopped from the bed and moved to the other, "Jake, wake up our identities have been exposed!" He shakes the other but he wasn't waking. He used his right arm, but again yelped in pain.
Just then his ears flickered as the doors opened, reveling four unknown people. Searching around he then grabbed a flat metal tray and used it as a weapon, "Stay back!"
The Master and Rovers were shocked at what they just saw, apparently the burly one is awake and appears to be hostile, but they weren't sure if it was from shock. "Hey there calm down-"The Master took a step forward.
"Move another inch and you'll be sorry!" Everything became silent after that comment; they had a problem now and needed a solution now.
