Chapter 4: Some Help

Panic started to fill the Rovers as they realized their current predicament. They were soon surrounded by ten guards, who all smirked at them for falling into their trap. Once the panic passed the rovers were about to do something when one of the guards spoke up, "Don't even try it!" They all stopped as they turned their attention the approaching guard. "That glass is indestructible and nothing will break it!"

"Where did you get this!" Hunter growled as he motioned to the collar.

"That's none of your concern now, what you should be worried about is your inevitable destruction. The dome you're in is connected to a generator that'll send a hundred thousand volts of electricity to the inside, destroying you all." All the Rovers eyes widen and panic filled them again as soon as they heard this. "Now say goodbye." The guard then signaled another guard near the far end of the room who was in front of a control panel.

Time seemed to go slow at that point as the guard was about to execute their plan, but suddenly he floated a few inches off the ground and was thrown to the side. All the guards were shocked at what they saw but yet they saw nobody. They all heard multiple taps as another guard was struck in the face, knocking him down. Out of instinct they all started to fire blindly, not knowing what was attacking them.

Back with the Rovers they too were shocked at what they were seeing. "What's going on?"Jenna asked.

"Someone else is in here," They all heard Axel say as they turned their attention to him.

"What do you mean?" Hunter asked.

"I can sense someone else here."

Back on the outside there was only four guards left as they ceased fire, wondering if it was safe for them. Just then two of them were lifted in the air and smashed against one another, knocking them out. The blind fire resumed as they heard more tapping, but then another guard was lifted and thrown into the last one, knocking both out as they hit the ground.

As the battle ended the Rovers were still stunned at what happened, but couldn't understand what happened. But then they all looked at Axel, who was slowly moving his head as if he was looking at someone. "How long are you going to stay like that?" they heard him say.

Everyone but Axel jumped as they heard a voice come out of nowhere, "Huh, I forgot that you can sense me." All of a sudden a figure materialized right in front of them. They couldn't tell who it was since he was wearing a black clock and had a hood covering his head.

They all watched as he walked over to the panel and pressed some buttons. The dome then retracted, freeing all of the rovers. As soon as they were free they all walked over to their savior. "I don't know who you are but thank you," Hunter said.

They then heard the person laugh a little, "Forget me already?" They all then watched as his hands went up to his hood and pulled it down.

They all gasped as they saw a familiar German shepherd underneath, "Marcus!" they all yelled.

They all moved in as they greeted their old friend. "Man it's good to see you again!" Hunter said.

"I know, I'm glad to see you all again also after so long," He said with a smile.

After all the greetings were said things started to get serious again. "What are you doing here?" Axel asked first.

"Well up in the space station Persia noticed some weird energy reading coming from this island. And since I was the only one that could turn invisible they sent me to recon this base but things didn't turn out as well as I thought."

"What happened?" Hunter asked.

"The source of the energy signatures turned out to be a machine that produced humanoid robots. But as I was recording data I was spotted and they activated the finished robots. I tried to hide but they seem to have some sort of thermal vision, so they can see through my power. All I could do was run. Ever since then I've been trying to find a way out but I've been having not luck. But then I can in here and you know the rest."

"Well it's good that you came when you did," Blitz said.

"Yeah and I guess it does explain this," Hunter said as he showed him the collar.

Marcus's eyes widen as he saw it and took it, "I've been wondering what happened to this. It got shot off me when I was running, but didn't know until it was too late."

"Bad people must have figure out what it was and used it as bait," Exile spoke up.

"No wonder the Master was able to pick up the signal," Hunter finished.

"Look even though I couldn't prevent it I'm sorry I dragged you all into this," Marcus apologized.

"It's alright," Hunter spoke up. "You didn't know what was going on until it was too late. But now let's get you out of here."

He just shook head after he finished, "I'm sorry but things changed over the time I've been here. I need to report what I found to Persia and get orders from her but there's a problem." He then pulled back his sleeve, revealing his wrist comm. and turned it on, but was only greeted by static so he shut it off. "There's some sort of jamming device here that's blocking communications off this island, so I need to find and destroy it."

"Need any help?"

Marcus could only nod, "Yes, I really do." It was then he noticed something. "Hey where's Colleen?"

"She back at HQ," Hunter answered.

"What for?"

Hunter could only smile as he told him, "She's pregnant."

Marcus's face lit up as he shook Hunter's hand, "Man congratulations, I know the others will be thrilled to hear this."

"How is your team doing by the way," Krystal asked.

"We'll all doing great; ever since we joined the space rovers our lives have been perfect. I really have to thank you all again for helping us."

"It was not problem we were glad to help out," Hunter responded. "So where do we go from here?"

"Like I said we need to find the jamming device and destroy it, then get in contact with Persia. So we just have to look around and hope to get lucky."

"Should we split up?" Blitz asked.

"No since there's jamming device is in place we won't be able to contact one another if there are any complications," Hunter explained.

"Good idea," Marcus responded. "Now let's move before anyone else comes by."

But before they moved Hunter stopped him, "Wait, do you have any idea who's in charge of this base?"

He shook his head, "Afraid not, but who ever it is must really have an interest in robotics." After that was said they all rushed out of the room in search of their objective.
