Chapter Six: Kasha's dream finally comes true
At 10:30pm, the Stealth Rover arrived over New Mexico at last, and Hunter activated the radio. He said, "Road Rover HQ, this is Hunter. Mission accomplished, requesting clearance to land." Moments later, Professor Hubert's voice came back over the speakers, 'Permission granted, Hunter. You're cleared for landing in the main hangar bay. I'll call ahead and let The Master know that you're home. The kids are upstairs with him.' Hunter replied, 'Roger…thanks, Professor. Hunter out.' Hunter lined up with the blinking lights of the landing strip, and smoothly slid the Stealth Rover in. He touched down gently, and secured the ship. He then popped open the hatch, and they headed out. Professor Hubert noticed their medals, and said, "Wow…that sure is a nice decoration you've received." Hunter said, "Yeah, it's the Supreme Order of the Chrysanthemum, Japan's highest medal. We got help from the Samurai Pizza Cats too, so they also got the medal." After they all stowed their weapons in the armory, they headed upstairs into the Briefing Room. Hunter and Colleen happily embraced their twins, as did Blitz and Samantha with Karina. The Master said, "Well done, Road Rovers. I just got off the phone with Japan's Prime Minister, Mr. Shinzo Abe. He informed me of how proud he is of you all for risking your lives to protect not only his nation, but also, the world. The same goes for your friends, the Samurai Pizza Cats. Professor Hubert sent me the helmet-cam footage of your mission, as always, and I'm very proud of you all. You definitely deserve those medals, and also, the deepest gratitude of the citizens of Japan, as well as the entire population of the free world. You've done an excellent job, Rovers. You're good dogs. Good, good dogs." Hunter turned to the team, and said, "TO THE POWER OF THE PACK!!!" The other Rovers responded with their usual "AAAHHHRRROOO!!!" Hunter and the others then said goodnight to The Master, and headed for their rooms. Just after they left the briefing room, Kasha suddenly sank to her knees in pain, clutching her stomach. Exile fought down panic, and rushed to her side. Colleen and Hunter saw her go down as well, and Hunter immediately knew what was going on. He said, "Colleen, go down to the medlab, and have Professor Hubert get ready." She said, "I'm on it, Huntie." She then took off at a full run, and entered the medlab in minutes. She said, "Professor, Kasha's going into labor. Huntie and Exile are bringing her down, so let's get ready." He said, "I hear you, Colleen." Samantha came in seconds later, and said, "Could you use another hand?" Colleen smiled at her friend, and said, "Sure, Sam. I'll take care of watching her vitals, and you help Professor Hubert with the delivery." She nodded, and got her gloves and mask on.
Meanwhile, Hunter was walking alongside Exile, as he carried his wife in his arms. Hunter said, "Kasha, you'll be fine, honest. We're just a few steps from the medlab, so you'll be okay. Colleen, Sam, and Professor Hubert won't let anything happen to you or Alek." She groaned, "M-Mother Russia…I feel like…my body is ready to explode…ugh…" Exile said, "Hold on, my little snowflower. We will be at medlab in minute." True to his word, Hunter pushed open the door, and Exile quickly moved Kasha onto the table. With the aid of Colleen and Samantha, he removed Kasha's armor plating, then the insulating inner layer, which cushioned her body, as well as serving to regulate body temperature while wearing the armor. Professor Hubert began instructing her to take deep breaths and relax, Colleen kept her eyes on Kasha's heartrate, pulse, and her other vitals, while Samantha helped prepare her friend for her delivery. Soon, Kasha screamed in sheer agony, as her contractions started up. Exile held her hand to try and calm her, and, whenever she had another contraction, she tightened her grip. Exile soon realized that she was easily as strong as he was. After thirty minutes, Kasha screamed once more, then she laid back on the bed, her gray and white fur plastered in sweat. Colleen wrapped a light blue towel around the newborn, and handed him to Kasha. Exile said, "Mother Russia…he is…so…adorable! This is happiest day of my lifeski!" Kasha looked at her newborn son, and marveled at just how much he looked like Exile. Aside from his fur being darker gray than his father's, he had the same kind, caring eyes, the handsome face, and the strong, powerful form. Professor Hubert said, "Congratulations, Exile. You and Kasha certainly have made a wonderful addition to our little family here." The others congratulated them as well, and then they headed for their rooms. Once Exile walked into his room, with Kasha in his arms, since she was still a bit sore, Colleen entered with Alek, and eased him into his mother's arms. Colleen and Hunter said goodnight to their friends, then went to their own room. Once they got in there, Colleen and Hunter sat down on their bed, and Hunter said, "Colleen, I want to thank you for all the love you've given me over the years that we've known each other. When I was younger, I never thought I'd meet someone like you. You're not only beautiful, brave, and strong, but you're also sweet, caring, and honest, and I don't think I could ever love anyone else other than you." Colleen said, "Huntie, I love you too. You've always treated me like a member of the team, even though I'm a girl. You respect me for who and what I am, you never asked me to change, even though I'm a tomboy, and you're sweet, loving, and totally honest. I've never met a dog that has all of your qualities, Huntie, and I don't think I ever would, even if I looked all over the world. Even though you're a mixed breed, I love you just the same, because you are definitely pure of heart, and I love you, with every last fiber of my being." Hunter smiled, and then his lips met Colleen's in a deep, searing kiss. When they pulled apart for air, Hunter said, "Colleen, I'd like to sing a song for you. It's called 'You're All I Have', by Snow Patrol. Hunter turned on the CD, and began singing.
Strain this chaos turn it into light,
I've gotta see you one last night,
Before the lions take their share,
Leave us in pieces, scattered everywhere,
Just give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto,
It's so clear now that you are all that I have,
I have no fear cause you are all that I have,
You're cinematic razor sharp,
A welcome arrow through the heart,
Under your skin feels like home,
Electric shocks on aching bones,
Give me a chance to hold on,
Give me a chance to hold on,
Give me a chance to hold on,
Just give me something to hold onto,
It's so clear now that you are all that I have,
I have no fear cause you are all that I have,
It's so clear now that you are all that I have,
I have no fear cause you are all that I have,
There is a darkness deep in you,
A frightening magic I cling to,
Give me a chance to hold on,
Give me a chance to hold on,
Give me a chance to hold on,
Just give me something hold onto,
It's so clear now that you are all that I have,
I have no fear now you are all that I have,
It's so clear now that you are all that I have,
I have no fear now you are all that I have.'
Colleen's eyes were tearing up when he finished, and she said, "Oh, Huntie…that was so beautiful! I've got one I'd like to do for you as well. It's called 'Emotion', by Rie Tanaka. Colleen pulled out the CD with the song on it, which she'd gotten as a gift from Polly before they left Japan, and began singing.
'Your shadow reflects your smile
And hides your teardrops
The hopes of the land and the stars on the water
All point to unspeakable loneliness
If you've begun to run
The future is a door that will answer your call
Emotion
I'm sure that the sky reflects my dreams
It resonates with my throbbing heart
Emotion
I want to gently overlap our dreams
I close my eyes and quietly embrace you
Shining on the tiny miracle in the water
I'll send my emotions to you in that reflection
Please at least laugh about our sorrows
That are quietly reflected in the mirror on a quiet night
Unable to turn back my emotions wavered alone in the past
Emotion
I swear to protect you, putting the present on the line
Something that only the light and the shadows can do
Relation
I want to tell you more about my emotions
Only the words that are born from the sands
Reflection
In this world you're my only truth
Fly up to that shining star
Emotion
I'm sure that the sky reflects my dreams
It resonates with my throbbing heart
Emotion
I want to overlap our dreams
I close my eyes and quietly embrace you.'
Hunter kissed Colleen again, once she'd finished singing. When they broke their kiss, he said, "You've got such a lovely singing voice, Colleen. You not only look like an angel, but you sound like one too. I love you so much, my English Rose." She pulled him close, loving the feel of his strong, gentle arms around her. She said, "I love you too, Huntie-Wuntie." The two of them made their way to the bed, and slowly sank down onto the mattress. About an hour later, they went into the shower, cleaned up, changed the sheets, then climbed in. Hunter and Colleen were asleep minutes later, wrapped in each other's warm, loving embrace. Blitz and Samantha were engaged in similar activities.
Exile and Kasha came out of the shower, and Kasha said, "Exile…this is perfect nightski…we finally get our wish to have child, and we save the world, and are all home safely." Exile said, "I know…Kasha, you are so beautiful. You are truly the loveliest dog I have ever laid my eyes on." She kissed him, and he happily returned her kiss, until they both needed air. Once she had taken in enough air to breathe again, she said, "Exile, I'd like to sing for you and Alek. This song is called 'Resolution', by Romantic Mode.
'Why is there so many fragile wishes?
The color of the breeze before dawn makes the town gentle
Truthfully, I was always searching,
Afraid to stare straight ahead.
It's only because you're here that I can face tomorrow
Don't be scared, no matter when
"We have the same dream" Within that shine
We walk closer to each other, so don't ever get lost
In that unsteady feeling, I can't even decide on tomorrow
With that wandering eye, I stared at the chaos around me
Truthfully, I was always requesting
I want to find a place where I can rest with my heart and all
When I met you, everything became clear
My heart began beating passionately
My heart began beating passionately
"We have the same dream" That brightness is always there.
I'm Hugging it, never letting go, so don't ever look back.
I'm Hugging it, never letting go, so don't ever look back.
I'm Hugging it, never letting go, so don't ever look back.
Truthfully, I was always searching,
Afraid to stare straight ahead.
It's only because you're here that I can face tomorrow
Don't be scared, no matter when
When I met you, everything became clear
My heart began beating passionately
My heart began beating passionately
"We have the same dream" Within that shine
We walk closer to each other, so don't ever get lost.'
Exile said, "Mother Russia…Kasha, you have such beautiful voice! You were wonderful, simply wonderful!" She blushed, then kissed him. After that, they headed for their bed, and were asleep moments later.
The Rovers were all safe and sound, and they had just added another new member to their little family. They all knew that no matter what challenges were ahead of them, they would face them all, together. They would always have the strength of each other's friendship, loyalty, and, most of all, love.
The End.
