The canine quartet followed the coordinates to a small island somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. They saw Parvo's plane surrounded by an army of cano-mutants in a large clearing and decided to land on the other side of the island. "Okay, here is plan," said Exile. "We try to capture from behind. First we free Hunter, Blitz, and Felicia. Then Hunter gets Felicia to safety as fast as possible while we hold off the cano-mutants. Once we regroup, we run."
Abby shook her head. "No way. I'm not leaving until I've made General Parvo pay for this."
Muzzle snarled his agreement, but Exile shook his head. "You talk like the weird boy. There are too many of them. This is no time for revenge. We can get rid of Parvo later. Right now all that matters is getting Hunter and Blitz back and getting Felicia to safety."
Abby nodded. "All right."
The group landed and set off through the undergrowth, but just as they came within sight of the clearing half a dozen cano-mutants ambushed them, capturing Exile, Shag, and Muzzle. "Abby, help!" Exile shouted.
Abby looked at them with a cruel smile. "Why would I want to do that?" she asked.
Exile struggled against the cano-mutants' grip. "We are trying to save your owner!"
Abby laughed. "You'll know everything soon enough," she promised. Shag whimpered. "And stop acting like a baby, mop-boy!" she snapped. She led the cano-mutants into the clearing. "Here they are, General Parvo," she announced.
"Excellent work, Abby. You've done your job well."
Hunter and Blitz were wrapped in chains, hanging by their feet from a tree. Seeing the others captured, Hunter tried to grin. "Yet another unexpected twist. Bummer."
"If you really hadn't expected it by now, you're an even bigger buffoon than you look," said Abby as Shag and Exile were chained and hung up next to Hunter and Blitz. Since Muzzle always wore a straightjacket and was strapped to a hand truck anyway, there was no need to chain him up, but they did.
"And now," said Abby, turning to General Parvo, "I have upheld my end of the bargain and brought you the Road Rovers. You will now uphold your end and allow me to eliminate them personally."
General Parvo nodded. "Gladly. Proceed."
"But Abby," protested Exile, "We were trying to save your master."
"I am her master," said General Parvo. "Felicia works for me, and so does Abby."
"So that's how you wiped out all those cano-mutants!" Hunter accused. "It was just for show!"
"Not just that," said Abby. "I wasn't born smart. General Parvo enhanced my brain so that once I'd been through the transdogmifier I'd be able to read people's minds. My intelligence as a dog was only the muted version of my powers, which you fools were kind enough to unleash entirely by putting me through the transdogmafier. Between my enhanced intelligence and my powers, it was child's play to break down the team. Especially you, Blitz."
"Please let me go!" begged Blitz, showing his typical level of courage. "I'm not a Road Rover! This is just a costume! Really!"
"Stuff it!" snapped Abby. "Now who will I finish first?" Her eyes got a sly look in them. "How about… Colleen?"

I was hoping to put the whole thing on here today, but I'm running out of time so I'll have to load the rest another time.
