A/N: Well then it looks like as if this will be the last chapter of the story. When I get the time the second story will get also up, that one will probably also have pairings in it…

VII. A new pact

Both female Rovers were mentally cursing themselves for being so careless as to get caught in such a weak ambush. As they were led through the gloomy hallways of the underground base by two of General Parvo's cano-mutants were both trying to come up with a plan to escape, which is easier if you can work together that is. Reaching a large room were both immediately pushed roughly in to a steel cage used for holding larger wild animals like lions, tigers or bears.

Then they were left alone.

"Grr…this wouldn't have happened if you would have staid back in the headquarters." Colleen growled at which the other turned to her.

"Nani! Nammo would have happened if kisama would just admit what your mondai is!" Shadow snapped back in full annoyance. "What have watasi done against omae! Monku iuna, mou takusan!"

"My, my, someone seemeems pretty upset there." come suddenly the voice of General Parvo. "Groomer, did you understand half of it what she said?" he asked the black haired woman in a whisper.

"Uhm…I think this is a private case." she replied, they had other things to do.

"Ah, well then now that I have these two lovely ladies also on board we can make the auction even more interesting."

"Only over my nai body will watasi become a dorei." Shadow growled at which Colleen also needed to agree. She loved her home and family and no one would dare selling her to some creep.

"But you have no word in this ladies." and with that was he already on his way out with Groomer following behind her.

Sitting so there, in the dark cage looked the chances for escape pretty bleak for the two female Rovers. Colleen was ragging her brain how to get out of the ropes around herself, sadly they may look like ordinary ropes, but they were combined with something. She tried everything, but she wasn't strong enough to break them. Struggling for another five minutes gave Colleen up and leaned herself against the cold bars of they prison. Her thoughts unwontedly glided back to her loving family which she got thanks to the Master. All those peaceful nights just laying on the carpet and listening to the book Mrs. Blair was reading to her or combing her fur. Her friends back in the headquarters. She might never see any of them again, Master with his great kindness towards them, Muzzle with his well dangerous nature, Doctor Hubert a bit strange sometimes, but really intelligent, Hunter with his way to make everyone happy and supporting, Shag with his sometimes adorable scary cat acting and great cooking skills, Exile with his comforting nature, she would even miss Blitz it was always fun annoying him. She would miss them all terribly and wished she could have spent a little bit longer time with them. Then her thoughts went suddenly to her companion and they little fight before Parvo interrupted them, she still couldn't answer fully why she disliked the black canine. Finally deciding that it might be a good idea to talk with her, this might be they last chance did Colleen turn to the other side of the cage only to notice the other trying to fumble something out of the red shahs around her waist. Unlike by her it was somewhat ticker in a way similar to that of a kimono shah.

"What are you doing?" Colleen heard herself ask.

"I made a promise to Shishou to get save back and that is what I'm about to do." Shadow said as she pushed her right knee up a bit and Colleen was sure that she saw something poking out from underneath the shahs. "Ugh…could you help me out, it is not easy to get it out and I can't do yoga any better."

Colleen nodded reluctantly, she understood that this was not a time to fight, they needed to get back home. Finally reaching the other she used her muzzle to get the thing out. She was surprised when she spotted a little sword, similar to the two katana the other used, which were now resting against the opposite wall of the room they were held in.

"Che, they only searched me for my katana, but never for my kaiken, this is a tantō pretty useful." Shadow said smirking and Colleen couldn't help herself from smirking also she had a clue what the other wanted. "So, pact for the time we get out of here?"

"Pact." she agreed.

Getting the news about the girls being captured by Parvo rushed the male part of he Rovers out of the medical room in a great dash, well there were still a few accidental trippings because either the bandages or gyps. After picking themselves up again rushed everyone to the Sky Rover and went of.

"I just hope that little sistra and Colleen are ok." Exile said nervously from his sitting spot beside Hunter.

"If that idiot has even hurt one of them then I'm going to bite his tooshies in a way that he won't be sitting for a year." Blitz growled, teeth barred.

"Comrade, I hate to say this, but I agree with the weird boy here." replied Exile as he pointed at Blitz with his thumb.

"Grrrrr…."

"Muzzle also agrees." he added.

"Don't worry I have got they signal." Hunter said before landing they vehicle in front of a large cave.

Getting out of the Sky Rover dashed the guys inside only to get the weird feeling that something wasn't eternally right in there. For example even Parvo wouldn't be so dumb to leave the halls unguarded and the silence was unnerving. Shag was already clinging to Hunter whimpering while Exile was giving strange looks to Blitz and his hands which were slowly, but surely breaking his right arm. Continuing they way for what seemed like forever hit suddenly the first sound since long they ears. Giving the signal rushed the group after Hunter, whom late will feel the ate of his swollen left leg mercilessly, reached they the doors leading to the main control room. Nodding they pushed the doors roughly open.

"Okey Parvo we…" Hunter suddenly stopped mid sentence as he saw the situation in the room. Both Groomer and Parvo were tied up and hanging down from the coiling while a large group of different dogs was growling at them, meanwhile was shadow meditating with her two katana in her lap while Colleen did her usual Tai-Chi movements.

"Ohayo mina-san" greeted Shadow as she opened her eyes.

"Hay guys." Colleen joined in as she also noticed they baffled looking friends.

"I would not have predicted this." Hunter commented while scratching the back of his head, the other's agreed at the sudden change in atmosphere between the two female Rovers.

"Stop letting you mouths hanging open, we need o get these two birdies to jail and these guys back home to they owner." Colleen said in an amused tone before turning to her collegue "Come Shadow there was this Japanese restaurant which I always wanted to try out, but I had no clue what stood on the menu."

"Hai, commind Colleen-san." Shadow replied as she walked together with the other female Rover out of the room.

"I knew this was a female thing." Exile said after a while at which the others only nodded.
