Chapter 2: Same old

It was a new day as the rays of the sun hit road rover HQ. Axel woke up feeling absolutely wonderful, he got out of bed and had a quick shower. He left his room and found Ariel. Ariel saw Axel and they both kissed each other. Axel spoke, "How are you today Ariel, have a god night sleep?"

Ariel nodded, "yes I did thanks for asking." They both walked together down to the kitchen to where everyone else was. They all were eating and were talking about various things. Soon after they all finished they went to do their daily chores around the base. Hunter and Colleen went to clean their room; Exile and Axel went to do some maintenance on the vehicles; and Shag, Ariel, and Blitz took inventory of their supplies. Soon after they were done they went to go do their own thing; Hunter and Colleen went to their room to be alone together, Ariel and Axel went out to the beach,; and Exile, Blitz, and Shag went to the rec room. It was shaping to be a perfect day.

A military base somewhere in Russia

In a snow covered plain of Siberia was a small Russian military storage base, inside was a dozen of T90 battle tanks. The security was medium and there were a small amount of guards since they would be trading shifts in an hour. There were four guard towers with two soldiers on them, a guard post at the front gate with three soldiers inside, the inside were a couple of hangers that held the tanks and other supplies. The rest of the guards were patrolling around like it was a normal day on the job.

A little ways were a small group of soldiers all in hiding waiting for an attack order. Havoc's right hand soldier Skeam was watching the base as his men prepared for their assault. He looked over to his men and saw that they had already assembled their radio jammer, and had it pointed at the base's communications dish. Skeam they took out his radio and contacted Havoc, "Colonel this is Skeam were in place and ready for our attack, over."

After a few seconds Havoc's voice was heard, "is the radar jammer in place?"

Skeam responded, "Yes sir."

"How about the mortar pits?" Havoc said.

Skeam looked around and saw that they were set up. "In place and waiting."

"Good, commence the attack when ready and remember don't damage those tanks. Leave no witness, over and out."

Havoc's voice was no longer heard as Skeam put the radio up and signal some of the attack party to follow him farther up. When they got close enough Skeam radioed to jam the communication dish, then he called for the Mortar pits to commence fire.

The guards in the towers were staring out in the distance when they saw something fire in the sky, then they relished that it was coming straight to them. The mortars his the base on all over the base, before they could regain their senses they were being attacked. The soldiers tried they best to fight them off but more mortar fire can and eliminated most of their remaining forces.

Skeam and his attack group moved forward after ceasing fire and saw that no one was standing at the base. They were soon in the base and checking to see if indeed they got all of them. Once they were finished they made their way to the hangers and found all the T90 tanks inside. Skeam pulled out his radio and called Havoc, "Sir it's Skeam we have tanks and all witness are neutralized."

Havoc's voice was heard, "Good get them back to base now."

The radio went silent and Skeam put it away and signaled for his men to climb into the tanks. They drove them all out of the base and headed for their own.

Little did they know that one injured soldier survived the assault and was clinging on to life as best he could. He crawled over to one of the hangers and leaned against it, all he needed to do was wait for the other trooped to come for their shift and he would be all right.

Back at Road Rover HQ

Axel and Ariel were laying down on a towel on the beach and were looking up at the clouds watching them pass by. Both enjoyed the afternoon together, Axel was tempted to ask her but he able keep from doing it now.

Ariel spoke, "Axel this is such a beautiful day isn't it."

Axel turned to her, "It sure is especially with you here with me." Ariel smiled at hearing it and they both kissed. "Ariel how do you like being a rover?"

"it nice and even better that your with me," Ariel said. "Axel what do you thing our lives would have been if we stuck together that day?"

Axel stayed silent for a bit, "Well we would still be together and homeless, but I'm not really sure what would have happened. like would we have a home one day, still be on the streets I don't know. But I'm glad that we have this chance as being rovers, why do you ask?"

"Just wondering that's all, it's just that sometime I wonder how are lives would have been if we took a different path," Ariel said

"Well a lot could have happened but I'm glad we took this path," Axel said.

"I know," Ariel said.

They both looked at each other then they kissed long and deep then they were interrupted, "Rovers Report To The Briefing Room Your Services Are Needed!"

They both broke apart Axel spoke, "Man why now?"

"I don't know but lets go," Ariel said. Axel agreed and they ran to the briefing room.
