Disclaimers: I do not own any of the characters in this story(excluding Tekuno, David, Akito, Drakon, Eva, Purasu, Minasu, and Jaakuna)
[Geist charged at the Rovers ready to strike them down]
Geist: RRRAAAAAAAGGGHHH!
Exile: Here he comes get ready!
[Geist slashes once with his scythe, and unleashes a giant projectile]
Hunter: Incoming!
[They all duck]
Geist: Very impressive! Let see you dodge this!
[Geist summons a barrage of slicing projectiles, which come at the Road Rovers like a flock of bats]
Exile: Uh-oh.
Tsunami: Abunai! (watch out!)
[They all dodge as quickly as they could to avoid the projectiles]
Roger: Damn!
Geist: HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAHHH!
Colleen: Alright that's it!
Geist: Oh?
[Colleen charges at Geist and delixers a high-jump to his face]
Geist: Heh heh heh heh... You'll have to do better than that to defeat me!
Colleen: What?
[Geist backhands Colleen, and sends her flying into Exile]
Blitz: Hey!
Geist: Basic attacks won't work on me, weaklings! I have power beyond your comprehension!
Hunter: You underestimate us too much Geist! If we're so weak then how come we're still alive? I'll tell you! Because unlike you we don't let our ego cloud our judgment.
Geist: Fool! I've come close to killing you many times! In fact, I've come closer than that idiot Parvo ever has! And it is my ego that boosts my strength! And this time you losers will perish by my hands!
Tsunami: Baka-meh! Don't count on it!
Exile: Yeah! You will never win Geist! Not now or ever.
Geist: Yeah? That's what you think!
[The fight between Geist and the Road Rovers continue. Meanwhile, with Sonic and the gang. They were busy fighting Jaakuna]
Jaakuna: Impressive, you two managed to overcome my twisters. I had no idea you two were this powerful together.
Shadow: Yeah well, there's a lot about us you don't know, Jaakuna!
Jaakuna: True, but the same would apply to you as well.
Sonic: Guess that's one advantage we all got; we hardly know each other.
Shadow: But nevertheless, we will defeat you... I don't doubt that one bit...
Sonic: Yeah, you're going down, Jaakuna!
Jaakuna: We shall see about that, wretched fools!
[Jaakuna summons a shower of plasma blasts that come from the sky]
Shadow: Get ready!
[Sonic and Shadow dodge the blasts as they collide with the ground, creating explosions everywhere]
Jaakuna: Hah hah hah hah! Can you keep it up?
Sonic: Just watch!
[Sonic and Shadow continue to avoid the plasma blasts as they hit the ground. This angers Jaakuna]
Jaakuna: Annoying rodents! Stay still!
Shadow: Now's the time to strike.
Sonic: Like hell we will!
[Sonic nods and they charge at Jaakuna with incredible speed and start hitting her she tries to fight back but doesn't have a chance to strike back]
Jaakuna: Argh! Damn you!
Sonic: What's wrong? Can't keep up?
Jaakuna: Just you wait, rodents! You haven't seen the full extent of my power!
Shadow: Then enlighten us!
Jaakuna: Very well then!
[Jaakuna uses her magic to transform herself into a more demonic looking creature before the eyes of Sonic and Shadow.
Sonic: Damn, that's ugly]
Jaakuna: This will be the last thing you see before I send you to the valley... OF THE DEAD!
Shadow: The only one that's going to die is you! CHAOS SPEAR!
Sonic: SONIC WIND!
Jaakuna: Hah hah hah hah hah! Is that the best you can do?! [The two attacks fuse together and then it turned a shower of green energy coming toward her] GAAAHHH!
Mutt: Yeah, go Sonic! Go, Shadow!
Tails: Looks like they're winning!
Sally: It does.
Shira: I don't know, it seems too easy.
Jaakuna: Hah hah hah! It's not that easy!
Sonic: What?!
Shadow: Stay on guard!
Jaakuna: Fools! Did you think I would be defeated so easily?
Sonic: Well no! But we're still gonna keep trying!
Shadow: One way or another, you're going down!
Jaakuna: We'll see who will fall!
[The battle between the two hedgehogs and Jaakuna wages on. Meanwhile, with the Wolfpack]
Eva: I'll destroy you!
Lupe: Come on and try it!
[The husky charge at the alpha she-wolf intending to strike her down]
Lobo: Attack!
[The Wolfpack engages Drago, Sleuth, Parvo, and the Felo-mutant trio, and a fierce fight ensues]
Drago: I've been waiting for this for a long time!
Reynard: So have I, Drago! Now we're going to whip your sorry ass for turning on us!
Drago: Awe come on! I thought you guys were over that by now!
Reynard: Betrayal isn't something you can forget easily.
Drago: Huh! So you're still sore about it, boy?
Reynard Sr: Can't say I blame him!
Drago: What?
[Reynard Sr. uppercuts Drago upside the head, knocking him back]
Drago: (spits blood) Not bad, old timer.
Reynard Sr: There's more where that came from!
Reynard Jr: And this one's for me.
Drago: What the...?
[Reynard Jr. knees Drago in the stomach, and punches him square in the nose]
Reynard Jr: Take that!
Drago: Ugh! Why you little punk!
Reynard Jr: Want some more?!
Drago: (wipes his face) You'll be sorry you did that! And you too, old man!
Reynard Sr: The only one who is going to be sorry is you, traitor!
Drago: Hah! I have no regrets! You all were a bunch of softies! You had no desire or ambition like I do! It's my desire and ambition that drives me!
Reynard Sr: Stop talking!
[Reynard tries to punch Drago again, but Drago avoids it, and uppercuts him, knocking him down]
Reynard Jr: Dad!
Drago: That was your reward for striking my beautiful face! May you suffer in hell for that offense!
Reynard Jr: Hell is your reward Drago!
Drago: What are you going to do about it?
Diablo: THIS!
[Diablo appears behind Drago, and strikes him on the back of his head with his coupled fists]
Drago: AGH!
Reynard Jr: Great going, Diablo!
[Diablo gives Reynard a thumbs up. Lupe engages Eva]
Eva: Not bad, bitch. You sure live up to your title as the alpha female. Now I see why Drago was so taken with you.
Lupe: Flattery won't get you far.
Eva: You know your son was afraid of me? He had all the right to be! He was just a helpless pup just waiting to be put out of his misery!
Lupe: I'll kill you!
Eva: (smirks) Well now it would appear I've touched a sensitive spot!
Lupe: Nobody does that to my son!
Eva: Come on then!
Lupe: You want to see how tough I am?!
Eva: Let's do it!
[The two alpha females charge at each other. They trade punches and kicks with one another in a fierce battle. Eva grabs Lupe by her head and knees her]
Lupe: UGH!
Eva: Heh heh!
[Eva punches Lupe in the face. Lupe wipes the blood from her face, and delivers a hard punch to Eva's face, which knocks her down to the ground]
Diablo: Go, Lupe!
Eva: Damn you!
Lupe: Feeling's mutual!
Eva: Grrrr...
Lupe: Wipe yourself off, bitch. You're bleeding.
Eva: Screw you!
Lupe: Are you going to fight me? Or are you just going to stand there and bleed?
Eva: I'm going to enjoy killing you.
[Eva charges at Lupe. As the two female canines continue their fight, Canus engages Jumbo]
Canus: Come at me, feline!
Jumbo: RAAAGH!
Canus: HAAAHHH!
[The two grab each other's hands in the attempt to force one another down]
Jumbo: Not bad, wolf! So I take it you're the muscle of the Wolf-Pack?
Canus: You could say that. And I see you got some muscle under that fat.
Jumbo: You dare mock my size?!
Canus: I dare.
Jumbo: You're dead, punk! ARGH!
Canus: I don't think so, fatso!
[They start exchanging blows]
Jumbo: I'll teach you to call me fat!
Canus: Oh?
[Jumbo tackles Canus, but Canus gains the upper hand, and lifts Jumbo over his shoulders without much effort]
Jumbo: Hey! Put me down! PUT ME DOWN!
Canus: Whatever you say chunky!
[He throws Jumbo into a wall]
Jumbo: OOFF!
[Jumbo sees stars. Meanwhile, with Lobo, F. Marcos, F. Maria, and the twins. They were handling Parvo]
Parvo: Your going down mutts!
Lobo: We're not mutts, Parvo. We're wolves. The very predecessor of dogs.
F. Maria: And pure wolves to be exact, feline!
[F. Maria readies her bow, and F. Marcos draws his sword]
F. Marcos: And we wolves eat cats like you for breakfast! (licks lips)
Parvo: Well then eat this!
[Parvo changes his cybernetic arm into a gun and starts firing missiles at the wolves]
Lobo: Watch out!
[They dodge the missiles]
Lobo: Marcos! Take out his gun!
F. Marcos: Way ahead of you, dad!
[Marcos charges at Parvo]
Parvo: Die!
[Parvo fires, but F. Marcos jumps high into the air to avoid the missiles, and then he slashes his sword once, and cuts off Parvo's cyber arm]
F. Marcos: HAH!
Parvo: You pest!
F. Marcos: (sarcastic) Oh I'm sorry! Did I make the kitty angry?
Parvo: (snarls)
F. Marcos: Oh, look behind you.
Parvo: What?!
[Parvo turns around to see Lyco, who delivers a roundhouse kick to his face, knocking him into a wall]
F. Marcos: Way to go, girl!
Lyco: You're not so bad yourself, handsome!
Leeta: Sister...
Lyco: Yes, Leeta?
Leeta: Look.
[They look and see Lupe]
Lupe: Where is he?
Reynard Sr: He's right here.
[Reynard Sr. and his son drag in a beaten Drago, who looks up at Lupe]
Drago: Uh oh...
[Lupe grabs Drago by the collar of his jacket] Oh, hey there gorgeous... Long time no see...
Lupe: It's payback time, traitor!
Drago: Okay... I give up... I surrender already...
Lupe: Begging won't work for you this time, Drago...
Drago: (smiles nervously) Heh heh heh... I guess you still hold a grudge against me for betraying you? Even though it was like I don't know... A long time ago?
Lupe: Betrayal is an unforgivable crime, Drago! You've disgraced us with your vanity and treachery! And you're as guilty as hell for it!
Drago: Well... What can I say?
Lupe: Any last words, traitor?
Drago: Well... I... Um... Yes; I do... Please don't touch the face! Beat the crap out of me but please don't damage my face! Anything but my beautiful face!
Lupe: You're pathetic Drago Wolf! After all that bragging you're still just as cowardly as ever.
Drago: (giggles nervously)
Lupe: Your history!
[Just as Lupe was about to start pounding on Drago she was kicked in her face by Eva]
Eva: Get up Drago!
Drago: Eva! I knew you'd stand up for me!
Eva: The only reason why I'm doing this is because Jaakuna still has use for you!
Drago: Oh, I see...
Eva: Get off your ass already! Before I change my mind!
Drago: Alright, alright!
[He gets up]
Eva: Now go wake up the others I'll keep the Wolf Pack busy!
F. Marcos: Like hell you will, bitch!
Eva: Then come on little pup, show me what you got!
F. Marcos: Gladly! (draws sword) TORYAHH!
Eva: Looks like I get to have a little fun.
[Eva pulls out a long survival knife]
F. Maria: No you don't!
Eva: Oh you want some too?
F. Maria: That I do! And I'm not alone on this!
Lobo: You think you can handle us all at once?
Canus: Give yourself up, Eva. You're outnumbered.
Eva: Yes
, it would appear so, doesn't it?
[She pulls out a bomb and throws it at the ceiling causing it to explode. Debris falls down and separates the Wolf Pack from Eva and her crew]
Lobo: Damn! She got away!
F. Marcos: And I was about to pay her back for last time!
[F. Marcos kicks the ground angrily]
Canus: Let it go Marcos. We'll get another shot.
F. Marcos: I ain't letting crap go! She has to pay!
Lobo: Now Marcos! Settle down!
Lupe: That's far enough! Get a hold of yourself!
F. Marcos: Grrr...
Lupe: Marcos!
[Lupe slaps her son]
M. Marcos: Mom... Was that necessary?
Lupe: You didn't give me any other choice!
F. Marcos: But did you have to slap me?! (rubs face)
Lupe: I didn't see any other way to get you to stop!
F. Marcos: But mom!
Lupe: NO! Don't talk back to me! Do you understand?
F. Marcos: Yes ma'am.
[Lupe places her hands on her son's shoulders]
Lupe: Listen, I know you're upset. We feel the same way. But you have to get your act together. We need you and your sister on this. We can't do this without you. You understand? But how do you expect to get anywhere with this attitude of yours?
[F. Marcos was too ashamed to answer. He turns his head to one side in frustration]
Lobo: Son, listen to us. Get your act together. It's time for you to grow up.
F. Marcos: ... Yes... Dad...
Lupo: Your mother is right Marcos. You have to starting acting more like an adult otherwise you won't be able to become a great warrior like you wanted.
F. Maria: Marcos, it'll be okay.
F. Marcos: Maria... Guys... I... I'm sorry... It's just that I...
Canus: We understand Marcos.
Diablo: Don't sweat it, dude. We're all in this together. It's everybody's concern.
Selena: He's right. We're a family and we're here to help.
Lupe: Right now we need to regroup with the others.
Reynard Jr: Alright!
Lyco: Guys, We found a secret passage way!
Reynard Jr: Alright!
Leeta: It's this way! Come on!
[The Wolfpack races down the passage way. It seemed like a long way down the stairs. But eventually, they came across something shocking; they were in a scientific laboratory]
Reynard Sr: Whoa...
Diablo: Where the hell are we? What is this place?
F. Maria: Looks like one of Psycho's labs.
Reynard Sr: This is like a freaking house of horrors...
Lupe: Let's just focus on finding the others and getting us all out of this hellhole.
Lobo: Wait... If this is a laboratory, maybe we can find some helpful information here.
Diablo: I think you're right, Lobo. You think maybe we ought to search the lab for clues?
Lupo: It's a good as start as any.
Lupe: Alright then. Diablo, you and the twins search the lab. Canus, you stay here and keep an eye on them in case anything happens. The rest of us will search for the exit. And we'll notify you when we do. Got it?
Reynard Jr: You got it.
[Diablo, Lyco, and Leeta search the lab for anything that might be helpful. They looked through the drawers, file cabinets, searched through data CDs, and documents]
Diablo: Find anything yet, girls?
Lyco: No nothing!
[Leeta finds something]
Leeta: What's this?
[She finds an electronic device similar to PDA]
Lyco: What did you find sis?
Leeta: I'm not sure, it won't let me in, must be locked.
Diablo: We need to bring this to Princess Sally. Maybe she can unlock whatever encrypted data is on here.
Leeta: We were thinking the same thing.
Lyco: I hope she and the others are okay.
Diablo: I hope so too. Come on, let's get out of here.
[The three of them leave the lab to go get the others]
Diablo: Lupe! Lobo! Look what we've found!
Lupe: What is it? Show it to me.
Leeta: It's a small hand held computer.
Lyco: We think it has some important information.
[Lupe analyzes the device]
Lupe: Hmmm... We'll have to show this to Sally. She'll know what to do.
Diablo: I had the same idea.
Lobo: Okay guys. I think we've found the exit. Let's go.
Reynard Sr: Hopefully this is the way out.
Reynard Jr: We won't find out standing here.
F. Maria: Right, Reynard. Come on. Let's go find the others.
[They head down the path]
Lobo: How far does this path go?
Reynard Sr: Hopefully not too far.
F. Marcos: I hope we reach the exit soon. My feet are killing me.
F. Maria: Oh quit complaining, Marcos! We've endured much worse than this you know!
F. Marcos: Don't remind me!
Diablo: Is it much farther?
Reynard Jr: Wait... There's a light!
Canus: Alright!
[The Wolfpack races to where the light was coming from. Finally, they were out]
F. Marcos: Whew. What a relief...
[F. Marcos stretches his arms and legs]
Lupo: Now we just got to get the others out.
Diablo: Sure, but how?
Lobo: Well we better think of something fast.
Lupe: Right, Lobo. And we have to look for Sally to see if she can decipher this data.
Lupo: What are we waiting for? Let's get going!
[The Wolfpack keeps moving forward in their desperate hopes to find the others. Meanwhile, back with the Road Rovers, they were having a bit of difficulty dealing with the Devil Geist]
Roger: (panting) And I thought he was tough to fight before.
Geist: Grrr...
Hunter: CHARGE!
[The Rovers charge at Geist who was ready to take them on]
Geist: DIE!
Roger: Not today, pal!
[Geist charges at Roger. Geist slashes once with his scythe, but Roger dodges]
Roger: You missed!
Geist: GRRRR!
Roger: You know, getting angry doesn't make your problems any better! It just makes them worse! And you've totally lost your cool!
Hunter: Now, Exile!
[Exile uses his freeze ray on Geist]
Blitz: Will that hold him?
[The ice starts cracking]
Colleen: I'm going with...no.
[The ice breaks, and Geist lets out a roar of fury]
Geist: RRRRAAAAAAHHHH!
Exile: So much for cooling him down. Now what?
Tsunami: Mina-san! We must focus our fighting spirits if we are to stand a chance against him! It's going to take all the strength we have to take him down!
Hunter: That's right! We can't give up now! We've come this far! And we're not about to fall to this monster!
Colleen: Their right! We have come too far to let this asshole destroy it, as long as we're together, nothing can take us down!
Geist: Call me whatever you want, you're only delaying the inevitable! Nothing can stop me now! Nothing!
Exile: You are like a broken CD.
Roger: That's record, Exile.
Exile: That too, You go on and on about how nothing can stop you but you are always proven wrong time after time again.
Geist: Well not this time! I am DEATH!
[Geist throws his scythe at Tsunami, who dodges it]
Geist: HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!
Tsunami: NANI?!
[Tsuanmi sees that the scythe is homing in on him]
Tsunami: Kusou! (Crap!)
[Tsunami blocks the scythe with his katana]
Roger: That's new.
Hunter: Now's not the time for jokes, Roger! Tsunami needs our help!
Tsunami: TEMEH! (Damn you!)
[Tsunami knocks the scythe away with his katana, but the scythe comes at him again. Tsunami dodges as the scythe passes under him]
Colleen: Someone has to stop that scythe!
Blitz: Yah! But how?
Exile: Well we better think fast, comrades!
Geist:Can you fight me and my attacking scythe at the same time?!
Blitz: GEIST!
[Blitz punches Geist and sends him flying into the wall. Then the scythe falls to the ground]
Geist: Heh heh heh heh... I must say... I'm amazed at how far you've come, little brother... You're a great fighter... Exceptional in fact...
Blitz: I'm more of a fighter than you are! At least I have honor!
Geist: Well, I'm proud of you, dear brother. I really am. But what good is honor if it keeps you away from desires?!
Blitz: The only desires you have is to bring death and destruction to the world! You're just an insane beast who wants to destroy everything for your own sadistic enjoyment!
Geist: Humph! I guess you're right. But I am what I am. And nothing can change that.
Blitz: Don't you see? You have only yourself to blame for what you've become!
Geist: Spare me your heroisms brother. I care nothing about this world or its insufferable inhabitants. But without it, there'd be no one... TO KILL!
[Geist appears in front of Blitz faster than the blink of an eye, and punches him in the gut. Blitz vomits his own blood]
Hunter: BLITZ!
Geist: Heh heh heh heh! Much too slow...
Blitz: (cough, cough, cough)
Tsunami: BLITZ-SAN!
Geist: Don't tell me you feel sorry for this piece of crap. I thought you hated him. I can still feel the hatred you once had for him buried deep in you.
Colleen: The only hatred we feel is for you, you bastard!
Geist: You hate me? Like I care!
[Geist teleports in back of Colleen, and kicks her into Hunter. Then he teleports to Tsunami and knocks him into a wall]
Tsunami: Kusou! Konna koto de! (Damn! I'll get you!)
Geist: Come on, you pathetic pups! Take me down if you can!
[The Road Rovers all charge at Geist and attack him simultaneously. They trade punches and kicks faster than the blink of an eye. But Geist blocks them without much difficulty at all. And as their fight continues, things didn't look much better on the Road Rovers' part. They were up against an all powerful version of their most dangerous adversary]
Geist: Road Droolers! What is wrong with you? I was hoping you'd put up more of a struggle! I'm very disappointed in you! I guess I rest my case then, you're all washed up!
[The Road Rovers are seen on the ground before Geist's feet, tired and worn out. But Roger is seen slowly getting up. Bruised and bloody, he thinks to himself]
Roger: (thinking)
{No... We can't let him win! We just can't!}
[Geist sticks out his arm, and his scythe comes back to his grip]
Geist: Now... Time to end this game!
[Tsunami manages to stand on his feet, with his sword impaled on the ground]
Tsunami: We will never lose to you, Geist! So as long as we have courage, justice, wisdom, faith, and a sense of benevolence on our side! THEN WE WILL HAVE THE POWER TO DEFEAT YOU!
[Tsunami passes his spiritual energy to the other Road Rovers, who instantly regain their strength]
Geist: WHAT?!
Tsunami: Mina-san! Teki o kogeki! (Everybody! Attack the enemy!)
[The Road Rovers all circle around Geist with yellow power auras circling them]
Geist: Grrrr!
Tsunami: Geist! OMAE WO TAOSU! (We will defeat you!)
Exile: Take this!
[Exile fires a super charged heat beam at Geist, which stuns him]
Geist: GRRR!
Colleen: And this!
[Colleen charges at Geist, and attacks with a rapid kick move like Chun-Li]
Hunter: And this!
Hunter darts off at Geist, and punches him in the gut.
Geist: UGH!
[Geist spits out his own blood]
Roger: And this!
[Roger comes at Geist, and attacks with a barrage of hard hitting punches]
Tsunami: TODOMEDA! (Final blow!)
[Tsunami charges up his katana at full power]
Tsunami: RYUUUU ENNNN ZAAAAANNNN!
[The Akita releases a slash of fire from his blade in the shape of two dragons which engulf Geist and blow him away]
Geist: GRRRRRR DAAAAAAAHHHHH! AAAAGGGHHHH!.
[After the final blow had struck, the screen turns white. And then, everything returns to normal, and Geist is seen on the ground, burned, bruised, bloody, and panting from exhaustion] (panting) Why... Why can't I destroy them?
Exile: Because unlike you, we have something worth fighting for
Geist: Screw you!
Roger: Face it, monster! You've lost!
Hunter: Admit defeat!
Geist: D... Damn you, Road Rovers! I will never give up!
Colleen: You don't seem to realize when you're down...
Muzzle: It's over, Geist! It's OVER!
Voice: Not yet its not!
[Suddenly a female Doberman came in she was wearing a pink battle suit and was wielding a sai]
Roger: Who the hell are you?
Female Doberman: Call me Stilette.
Geist: ?!
[Stilette looks at Geist]
Stilette: You must be Geist, Psycho has told me about you
.
Geist: ...
Stilette: Not much of a talker, I can work with that.
[She grabs Geist's arm and throws it over her shoulder]
Hunter: Hey! Wait!
Colleen: Hold it right there!
Stilette: Sorry but I don't have time to play. Ta-ta.
[She throws a flash grenade and blinds everyone]
Roger: AHH!
Colleen: So bright!
Hunter: I can't see!
Tsunami: Shimatta! Karera wa nigeta! (Damn! They got away!)
Roger: Wait! Oh no! Blitz!
[They gather around him]
Exile: Comrade, are you okay?
Blitz: He... He got me pretty bad... I don't... I don't know if I'll make it... I'm sorry guys... I failed you...
Colleen: Don't talk like that! You're a lot of things, but a failure isn't one of them!
Hunter: Hang in there, Blitz! We'll get help!
Tsunami: Sukaishiro! Blitz-San! (Hold on, Blitz!)
Exile: Don't you die on us, comrade!
[Meanwhile with Clarissa, Typhoon and Serena, Psycho was making his escape]
Psycho: Gotta get away!
Clarissa: No you don't!
[Clarissa charged at Psycho only for him to smack her]
Serena: CLARISSA!
Typhoon: You bastard! I'll get you for this!
Psycho: I worry more about your friend down there! Looks like Geist was especially rough on him.
Typhoon: What?!
[Typhoon looks down to where Blitz was] Blitz! NOO!
Serena: We got to help him!
Psycho: Better hurry, it looks serious.
[Psycho escapes, uttering a creepy chuckle] Oh hoh hoh hoh hoh hoh hee hee hee hee hee!
[Roger is seen holding the injured Blitz]
Roger: Live for us... Please... Please don't die Blitz...
Blitz: Roger... I'm sorry... I guess this is goodbye...
[Blitz's eyes begin filling with tears as Roger takes his hand]
Fenrir: Perhaps not...
[The Road Rovers and their allies gasp]
Hunter: That voice...
Colleen: It's Fenrir!
Fenrir: Yes. And I've brought someone who can help you.
Akito: And that would be me.
Exile: Please, Akito! Save our comrade! We don't want him to die!
Roger: Please! Save him!
Akito: Don't worry, Road Rovers... He's is not going to die... Not on my watch...
[Akito places one hand on the dying Blitz's head] Blitz... You have suffered a lot. And you've been though a lot. But even so, you stood up for your friends, and you lived up to your father's legacy. It's not your time to die. So, you shall be healed of your wounds, and your strength restored.
[Akito casts a spell that heals Blitz's fatal injury]
Roger: Thank you.
Hunter: How you feeling, buddy?
Blitz: I feel like a new dog.
Akito: I'm glad I was able to help, Mr. Blitz.
Blitz: Oh, of course. Thanks, Akito. You saved my life.
Fenrir: You still have a lot to do, Blitz. Your friends are all counting on you.
Prowl: Especially us.
Tsunami: Omae tachi? (You?)
Prowl: Yes, Tsunami. It is us.
[Sheng-Long, Vladimir, Drakon, Raptor, Jasper, and the Canomutant trio all appear before the Road Rovers]
Hunter: You guys?
Akito: It's okay. They're on our side now.
Roger: Wait, it's true. I sense no evil in them anymore. Their auras are now pure.
Sheng-Long: Yes. You could say that.
Jasper: We had a change of heart recently.
Hunter: But you guys were once our enemies...
Exile: And now you're turning good-ski? This is confusing.
Tsunami: Maybe not, Exile-San. There is good and evil in everybody. And apparently, the MAS have chosen to walk the path of righteousness.
Typhoon: Well I'll be damned!
Serena: That's good to know!
Clarissa: We're very proud of you. You all have made a wise decision.
Roger: I agree. It's good to have you on our side.
Drakon: It didn't take long to find out what those pricks were going to do to us. And since we know the enemies a little more than you do, we'll provide any information that could help.
Roger: Really? Then tell us. It's important that we know what you know.
Jasper: Well I checked the records and found out they got a list of possible future recruits.
Tsunami: Future recruits?
Exile: Is that true?
Jasper: It is. And the stored on a handheld that sadly even I can't unlock, at least not alone.
Blitz: So then... What should we do?
Prowl: For now try to get out of here in one piece. I got a feeling one of your pals found it.
Tsunami: You mean the Wolfpack?
Raptor: Yeah them.
Hunter: Then we'll have to regroup with them.
Prowl: Then I suggest you all get going. There's no time to lose.
Roger: What about you guys?
Sheng-Long: We're going to go help the Mobians.
[The Road Rovers pause for a few seconds. But then Tsunami answers]
Tsunami: Yosh. Wakata.
Hunter: Okay then! Good luck, guys!
Prowl: Thanks. Same to you.
Fenrir: And do be careful.
Hunter: Okay, Road Rovers! Let's roll!
[The two teams went their separate ways]
Roger: So where do we go now?
Tsunami: We have to regroup with the Mobians. And then we must plan our next attack.
Hunter: I just hope the others are having better luck then we had.
Exile: But at least we showed Geist a lesson.
Roger: "Teach" a lesson, Exile. Not "show".
Hunter: Yeah, but it's not over yet. I have a feeling this is just the beginning. And who was that mysterious female Doberman?
Colleen: I don't know. But one thing is for sure; she's not on our side.
Blitz: Kinda figured that since she rescued Geist.
Roger: I have a feeling our real troubles have only just begun.
Tsunami: Hai. But we'll worry about that later.
[Soon, the Road Rovers regroup with the Mobians]
Sally: Thank goodness. Reinforcements.
Tsunami: Daijoka, Sally-Sama?
Sally: Jaakuna is giving Sonic and Shadow trouble. We want to help but it just seems like we'll just get in their way.
Tsunami: Maybe not...
Mutt: What do you mean?
Roger: There's still hope. Maybe we can lend in a helping hand.
Axel: How?
Colleen: We've just unlocked our new found powers. And together we might be able to fight off Jaakuna.
Knuckles: Then lets get in there and give her hell!
Serena: Good luck you guys. And be careful.
Typhoon: We'll be routing for you, mates.
Clarissa: Do your best and more.
Tsunami: Arigato, Clarrisa-kun...
Hunter: Thanks, Clarrisa...
[The Road Rovers all go out to help out Sonic and Shadow]
Shadow: You?
Sonic: Aren't you guys a sight for sore eyes?
Exile: Glad we got here just in time. You two look like you got hit by a truck.
Roger: Or worse.
Hunter: Let's focus on the task at hand guys! We got to stop Jaakuna!
Jaakuna: (laughs) I would LOVE to see you try... And fail!
Shadow: Then lets kick it up a notch.
[Shadow removes the inhibitor rings on his wrist and drops them on the floor]
Jaakuna: Hmm?
Shadow: I'm going to show you just how powerful I really am! And don't expect me to go easy on you!
Sonic: Don't use too much power, Shadow. Its not good for you.
Tsunami: Besides, we're here to back you up.
Exile: It's time to show Jaakuna what we can do! (cracks knuckles)
Sonic: Lets do it to it!
[Sonic and Shadow power up]HERE WE GOOOO!
Shadow: LET'S DO THIS!
Tsunami: Mina-san! Chikara wo shūchū! Toki wo Shokan! (Everybody! Focus your power! Summon your fighting spirit!)
[Tsunami poses, and charges up]
Tsunami: EEEEEIIIII!
Jaakuna: GO TO HELL!
[She fires a blast of dark energy at the hedgehogs and the Roverswhichtheydodge]
Shadow: NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
Sonic: IT IS YOU WHO WILL BE GOING TO HELL!
Jaakuna: DAMN YOU!
[She charges at them]
Roger: IN COMING!
Shadow: GET READY!
Sonic: POWER THROUGH!
[They clash with Jaakuna, after a couple explosions and flashing lights Jaakuna was knocked back]
Jaakuna: Damn...
Roger: Ready to give up, sorceress?
Jaakuna: Don't celebrate just yet, wretched beasts! This battle is FAR from over!
Shadow: Says who?
Jaakuna: Says me!
[Jaakuna releases a powerful thrust which pushes everybody back]
Sonic: Still got some fight left in ya?
Jaakuna: (chuckles) Indeed I do... I possess far more power than any other adversary you've ever faced!
Shadow: And you'll fall like all the rest! It doesn't matter how strong you say you are, we'll still take down one way or another!
Tsunami: Kakare! (Attack!)
Jaakuna: Grr!
[She creates a portal and escapes]
Hunter: Damn! She escaped!
Exile: But you can bet she'll be back.
Sally: Well, at least its over for now.
Sonic: Yeah, no kidding. I'm sure we could have taken her out together.
Tails: Well I wouldn't get too cocky if i were you, Sonic.
Sonic: Hmm?
Sally: He's right, Sonic. It's dangerous to be overconfident. Besides, I fear that our real troubles have only just begun.
Sonic: So what do we do now, Sal?
Sally: Well, now that the Road Rovers are here, let's just hope we can regroup with the Wolfpack as well.
[Suddenly, the group hears a familiar female voice]
Female Voice: That won't be necessary, princess Sally.
Tails: I know that voice!
Sonic: It's Lupe!
[Everybody looks to where the voice was coming from, and they see Lupe and the Wolfpack]
Hunter: Well, aren't you guys a sight for sore eyes?
Diablo: Same to you!
Lupe: We got here as soon as we could. How is everybody?
Sonic: We had some trouble with Jaakuna. But we managed to scare her off.
Hunter: And we almost lost an important member of our team...
Blitz: That would be me...
Diablo: Really?
Blitz: Yah... Geist nearly had me...
Roger: And he almost died... I'm just glad that he's alright.
Exile: Lucky for us Akito was there to save him. Her magic really came in handy.
Reynard Jr: Oh... Well I'm glad that you're okay, Blitz...
[Roger, Reynard Jr, and Diablo all hug Blitz]
Blitz: Guys...
Shira: Hate to ruin this touching moment, but now would be a good time to escape.
Tsunami: Hai! Sodes! (Yes! Right!)
Sally: Alright, everybody! Let's get out of here!
[The heroes take off to find the exit. Meanwhile in a hidden room in the base, the defeated villains all gathered for their next plan]
Parvo: Curse those wolves, they will pay for what they did to my arm!
Eva: Quit whining, Parvo. Psycho will build you a new one.
Stilette: (chuckles) You clearly underestimated that cute handsome young wolf. He's quite formidable. If not a bit cocky. I'd like to get a hold of him when I get a chance to.
Purasu: Control yourself, Stilette.
Drago: Hey why didn't you and your brother help us earlier?!
Minasu: Because we were ordered by our mistress to watch over Stilette until she was ready.
Groomer: How long has the doctor been keeping her a secret?
Stilette: Not long. Almost a year, I had to go through serious training in order for me to get as good as I am now.
Drago: Well, I sure hope you'll be of use to us... Stilette... [Stilette eye balls Drago] You look pretty sexy. (winces eye brows)
Stilette: Oh?
[Drago advances on her, and wraps his arms around her]
Stilette: My... You're pretty straight forward, aren't you?
Drago: Heh. Yeah, you might say so.
Stilette: (chuckles)
Drago: Huh? [Stilette grabs Drago by his waist, and tosses him into a wall] OOF!
Stilette: Naughty, naughty... Nobody touches me unless I want them to...
Groomer: Alright! Alright! Enough of this!
Eva: The MAS are all traitors... All of them... And they're going to pay dearly for this!
Psycho: Oh and they most certainly will, Eva! They most certainly will! In fact, Drago and I have already come up with a brilliant plan to get even with those goody two shoes!
Parvo: Go on, tell us then, doctor. What is your plan?
Psycho: Well you see, General, it's to my knowledge that Drago has mastered the art of hypnosis. And with his help, we can turn the Road Rovers against their allies. But of course, we're going to have to capture them before we can begin the procedure of brainwashing them.
Eva: But I thought it would be harder to hypnotize someone who has a strong mind. And besides don't we still got the Brain Zapper?
Midnight: She raises a good point.
Psycho: That's precisely my point; we'll use the Brain Zapper on them, but we first need to capture them, and bring them back to my lab. (cleans hands)
Drago: And once they've been zapped of their free will, I will be their leader and master.
Eva: Who says you get to order them around, Drago?
Jaakuna Voice: Can't you two get along for once?
[Jaakuna came in with a mutated kangaroo in red armor and a raccoon in dark gray armor]
Sleet: Hmmm? Who are these two?
Jaakuna: Their names are Cooper and Slicker.
Cooper: Pleasure to meet you all.
Dingo: Likewise mate.
Slicker: Okay, now that we got the intros out of the way. We still got one problem to deal with.
Stilette: You mean Geist.
Slicker: Exactly.
Drago: Why is that a problem?
Cooper: You shouldn't ask questions you already know the answer to.
[Drago realized what he meant]
Drago: Oh yeah. Making sure Geist doesn't kill them if we manage to brainwash them.
Cooper: That's right, mate. After all, given how mentally unstable that lunatic is, it'd be wise to have him under control.
Psycho: I wouldn't worry about him, gentlemen. He's in confinement for the time being.
Jaakuna: And he'll stay there until we say otherwise, right?
Psycho: Oh absolutely! After all, one can't be too careful when dealing with someone as crazy as him. He'll have to remain locked up until I can figure out a way to control him.
Jaakuna: I think I got something. Take me to him.
[Psycho takes Jaakuna to Geist's cell]
Psycho: So what are you going to do?
Jaakuna: Just watch.
[She enters his cell]
Geist: ...
Jaakuna: How are you feeling demon dog?
Geist: Likecrap...
Jaakuna: Sorry to hear that. Anything I can do to help?
Geist: No...
Jaakuna: Come on. What do you got to lose?
Geist: I want my enemies dead... All of them...
Jaakuna: And it will happen. But right now you need to rest.
[She created a magic circle around him]
Geist: What is this for?
Jaakuna: Well you need rest so I'm going to make sure you get it.
[The circle glows and Geist starts to feel tired]
Geist: Grrrr... No... I should... Destroy... Them...
[He passes out]
Jaakuna: You will, just not now.
Psycho: Well, now that that's been taken care of, let's get down to business...
Jaakuna: Agreed, Doctor... Let's begin...
[They return to the others]
Drago: So, how's ol' homicidal mad dog doing?
Jaakuna: Let's just say he won't be doing anything for a while. I made him sleep for the time being until we can figure out what to do with him later.
Psycho: In the meantime, I've been making preparations on capturing new recruits for our new army...
Eva: So is the Brain Zapper ready, Doctor?
Psycho: Certainly, Eva my girl. And it's in full operational condition. All I need is for you and the others to lure the Road Rovers into our trap. And then we shall wipe their minds clear of any thoughts, emotions, or free will. They will become mindless puppets for us to command. And since they've grown immensely powerful, that will be a bonus for us!
Stilette: Then we shall proceed with the plan!
Jaakuna: 's just one more thing.
[She brings in a group of flying reptiles tied up in purple stuff]
Drago: What in blazes are those things?!
Sleet: Beats the hell out of me!
Jaakuna: These creatures are known as Giras. And they have the ability to create a substance that is virtually indestructible, called Merry-Go-Round Gum.
Eva: Hmmm... Interesting...
Stilette: And these things are going to help us with our plan?
Jaakuna: Yes. Now, you may proceed with operation dog catching! I don't care what it takes and I don't want excuses, bring them back here in one piece! And this time don't screw up! Or your punishment will be severe!
Drago: (slightly intimidated) Sure thing, Jaakuna! Anything you say!
Sleet: We're out of here!
[They leave]
Main Giras: You wont get away with this!
Jaakuna: Oh?
Blue Giras: Yeah. You can't keep us tied up forever.
Jaakuna: No, but as long as I got your two pals Cymbal and Maraikoh I got nothing to worry about.
Green Giras: How do we know you won't just kill them anyway?
Jaakuna: Are you willing to take that chance?
Orange Giras: Damn you!
Jaakuna: Hah hah hah hah hah! No matter how much hope one has, it ultimately proves futile! And soon, the side of evil shall triumph over good!
[The next scene, the heroes regroup in a secret hideout]
Sally: Is everybody present and accounted for?
Tsunami: Hai! Sodes!
Lupe: We're all okay, Sally.
Sally: Okay, good. Now, I suggest we all get some rest for now. But as soon as the dawn comes, we're moving out. We've come this far, and there's no turning back now.
Shadow: Besides, we still have a job to do, and some old scores to settle.
Sonic: Now you're talking, Shadow. That's just what I like to hear.
Shadow: Why am I not surprised?
Roger: Well, Sonic sure is confident. I'll say that.
Tails: Yeah, maybe a bit too confident.
Sonic: But it's my confidence that's gotten us this far. Heck, even Marcos would agree with me. Right, Marcos?
F. Marcos: You said it, Sonic. After all, we whipped Geist pretty good.
F. Maria: Yes. Though you went into battle without thinking first. I'm telling you, brother, you worry me sometimes.
Silver: But at least Sonic was there to help him. Both his present day self as well as his future self.
Sonic: But we made a great team!
F. Marcos: We sure did.
Hunter: Well, let's call it a day, guys. Everybody make yourselves comfortable for now. Somehow I get the feeling we're in for a long hard day tomorrow.
Roger: Uh, hey, guys...
Road Rovers: Yes?
Roger: I want to thank you all for rescuing me. You saved me.
Hunter: Hey, no problem, bro. It's what we do. We look out for each other.
Colleen: Though, it was really Tsunami who saved you.
Roger: By the way, I've been meaning to ask him that. Tsunami, how did you do that kanji thing?
[Hubert comes in with two new canines]
Hubert: Everyone the Professor has gotten two new recruits.
Tsunami: Nani monoda? (Who are they?)
Hubert: Their names are Gunther and Ace.
Gunther: Pleased to meet you!
Ace: Likewise!
Tsunami: (bows slightly) Konnichiwa, Gunther-San, Ace-San. Watashiwa Tsunami. Yoroshku onegaishimas.
Gunther and Ace: Huh?
Blitz: English, Tsunami... English...
Exile: Yeah comrade.
Tsunami: Oh... Gomenasai...
Tekuno: Its alright, Tsunami.
Sally: Well its nice to meet you guys.
Gunther: Same to you. Sally... Is that your name?
Ace: And correct me if I'm wrong but... You're a princess, right?
Sally: That's right. How did you know?
Ace: We heard a lot about you.
Gunther: And since you're a princess, you deserve our deepest and utmost sense of respect.
[Ace and Gunther both bow before Sally]
Ace: We are honored to be in your presence, your majesty...
Sally: Please, there's no need for that, guys.
The Road Rovers giggle slightly.
Hunter: Okay guys. You can stand up now.
Blitz: Yah, there's really no need to bow.
Sonia: Besides, me, my brothers, and Blaze are of royal heritage as well.
Roger: You are?
Mutt: Yeah they are. Every mobian knows who they are.
Manic: Can we just get to bed already? We got a long day tomorrow.
Blaze: He's right. We need to be fully energized.
Sonic: Point taken guys. Let's head on to bed.
Hunter: Agreed, Sonic. (yawns)
[Meanwhile, as one group heads over to bed, Lupe and the Wolfpack do the same. Though, F. Marcos was still a little sore over the way he acted earlier]
F. Marcos: Ummm... Hey, mom...
Lupe: Yes, Marcos?
F. Marcos: About earlier... I'm sorry for how I behaved... You know, when you slapped me... I... I know I'm not the most mature guy in the world but...
Lupe: (assuring) Oh don't worry about that, son. Just forget about it.
F. Marcos: But mom...
Lupe: Shhh... I understand...
F. Marcos: I acted like such a jerk, mom... I'm sorry...
Lupe: Marcos, it's alright. I'm not mad at you anymore. In fact, if anything, I'm proud of you. And your sister too.
F. Marcos: You are?
Lupe: Yes. I couldn't have been more proud of my children for following in our foot steps. But I just want you to know something; when I slapped you, I didn't do that to be mean. I did it because you were being unreasonable. What I do is out of love. And I only want what's best for you.
F. Marcos: I realized that, but it still hurt a little.
Lupe: Well I'm sorry, my son. I really am. I didn't mean to hurt you.
F. Maria: But just remember, bro, it's not all just about you. In this war, it's everybody's problem. War isn't fun and games you know. It's serious. In war, there are no rules. And people do die. Remember what happened to our parents in our time?
F. Marcos: Please, don't remind me.
Lupe: She has a point, son. Just put whatever quarrels you have aside for now. You may have your flaws, but that doesn't mean we will love you any less. As your mother, I will always love you and your sister no matter what. But try not to let this incident bother you too much, okay?
[Lupe hugs F. Marcos, and kisses him on the cheek]
F. Marcos: I love you, mom...
Lupe: I love you too.
F. Maria: Come on, bro. Let's get to bed. I have a feeling we're in for a long day...
F. Marcos: For once I agree with you.
[Meanwhile, with Silver, he notices Tsunami staring into the midnight sky]
Silver: Is there something on your mind?
Tsunami: Today, we defeated Geist. But I know for for a fact that the war is far from over.
Silver: Yeah, the Sol Emeralds and the other Black Emerald shards are still out there.
Tsunami: Tell me more about these emeralds, Silver-Sama.
Silver: Well the Sol Emeralds are like another version of the Chaos Emeralds or what most philosophers in our time their counterpart like how Earth has the North and South Poles.
Tsunami: Souka... (I see)
Shadow's voice: And its our duty to find them...
[Shadow comes up to them]
Silver: Shadow...
Shadow: If we let the enemy get all the emeralds we're screwed.
Tsunami: Wakata... And worst yet, it seems we have some new enemies to deal with. Like that mysterious female Doberman.
Shadow: What?!
Tsunami: When we defeated Geist, she appeared out of nowhere. She didn't state what her business was. But I know for a fact that she's against us. And somehow I feel that she's not the only one. There's probably others as well.
Silver: I have a bad feeling about this...
Shadow: Damn...
Tsunami: I feel the same way, Shadow-Sama. But we must try to keep it together, and prepare for the worst. It's as they say in English, it's not over until its over.
Shadow: Well said, Tsunami. And not only that, I feel the worst is yet to come.
Silver: Same here.
[Meanwhile in Sally and Amy's room, Sally was trying to unlock the device the Wolf Pack found, even with NICOLE's help, she still couldn't access it]
Sally: NICOLE, can you decipher this data?
NICOLE: Sorry, Sally. The data is inaccessible.
Sally: Dang it! There has to be something we can do!
Amy: Maybe you should try again in the morning with Tails' help.
Sally: That sounds like a good idea, Amy. Speaking of which, where is Tails?
Amy: Oh, he's sleeping right now. But I'm sure he can help you out with this first thing in the morning.
Sally: Okay, good. I'm going to need all the help I can get to uncover this encrypted data. We need to know what we're dealing with to stand a better chance against the odds.
Amy: Whatever is on that thing it must be important.
Sally: I'm sure it is. It must be very important if NICOLE is unable to access it.
Amy: Well, I suggest we both rest for now. There's no need to work yourself to death, Sally. I know you're very dedicated to the cause. But if you push yourself too much, you won't have enough energy to continue.
NICOLE: She has a point, Sally.
Diablo: Good night.
Sally: (chuckles) Point taken, NICOLE. Well, (yawns) I'm off to bed. And Diablo...
Diablo: Yes, Sal?
Sally: Thanks for bringing this back to me. You guys really helped us out this time.
Diablo: Hey, don't mention it, Sal. After all, what are friends for?
Amy: Well, I'm going to rest with the others.
Sally: Okay. Goodnight, Amy. Goodnight, Diablo.
[And so everyone goes to sleep. But what lies in stores for them? And will they be able to handle the new mutants?]
