Author's Note: Sorry for the wait, but working on two stories is hard now with school. But I'll try and keep up. Enjoy.

Chapter 5: New Foe

The alarm alerted the Rovers, telling them that something was going on, while Chance and Jake had no clue as to what was happening. "What is that?" Chance asked.

"Our alarm, there's trouble in the world," The Master responded as he went to a nearby computer, typing away some commands. "I'm sorry you two but the questions are going to have to wait till later."After a few seconds a large screen appeared in the room. It turned on showing some footage of the area of the city that was being attacked. Just then a bright flash appeared then nothing but static, whatever hit the camera wasn't good.

"What in the world was that?" Hunter asked with raised eyes, along with the others.

"I don't know must be a power fluctuation." The Master responded as he turned to the Rovers. "I don't know if this is something minor or not but I think only some of you should go and check it out. Hunter pick a small squad to go with you and check out what's happening in town."

"Yes sir," The retriever saluted as he turned to the others. "Alright, Colleen, Axel, Krystal and Blitz, suit up and meet up in the hanger." The selected Rovers nodded as they scrambled out of the med bay and went to suit up. A few minutes later the five Rovers regrouped in the hanger, awaiting Hunter's instructions. "Ok, Colleen, Axel and I will go in the street Rover. Blitz and Krystal take the cloud Rover and do some recon from the sky.

"Alright Hunter, we'll keep a look about," Blitz responded as he and his wife ran over to the chopper while the last three Rovers went to the street Rover. Both vehicles were started up as they exited from the hanger, all heading to the destination in the city.

It took a couple of minutes but the Street Rover reached the area of town that the Master had showed them. The trio got out of the care and were shocked at what they saw, there were some cars on fire, street lamps overloaded with electricity. There were a few people running away, but from whom they weren't sure. "What happened here, it looks like a storm came through here," Hunter said to them all.

They all looked around, trying to get a better view of the situation, just then Axel's ears twitched as something was heard. Turning around both eyes widen, "Move!" they all dove out of the way as those words left his mouth just in time to avoid one of the street lamps from falling on them. After getting clear a distinct laughter could be heard.

All three Rovers turned to see someone walking, their footsteps being known to them. All eyes rose at who they saw. It was a humanoid cat just like their new friends back at base but this one was a different. This one was male, had light brown fur that somewhat stood up on all ends like static was coursing through them. He had a Mohawk on top of his head, but the creepy thing was his eyes. They were light orange but had no pupils or irises. He wore a large aqua trench coat that had electric tube on both shoulders, and there seemed to be electricity surrounding him like it was nothing.

"Ha, it looks like I found some people with a backbone," The newcomer responded with a grin, stopping a few yards from the Rovers.

"Who are you?!" Colleen yelled out as she Hunter and Axel pulled out their shock pistols. The action merely caused a humorous laugh from the enemy.

"Go on…I dare you."

That was odd, where was he getting at? Deciding not to find out what this stranger could do all three opened fired at him. The bolts of electricity flew out from the guns and rushed to collide with the cat's coat. But the blast seemed to be absorbed with the electric current that already flowed around him.

"Wha-what just happened!?" Hunter spoke out loud, shocked to disbelief.

"They…just absorbed…into him," Axel slowly responded.

Their reactions just caused the newcomer to laugh some more, "It's useless to win; I'm so going to love it here."

All ears flickered as the rotating blades of a chopper cut through the air, looking up they could see the cloud Rover above them. A smirk appeared on the cats face as he saw the vehicle, without taking his eyes off a bright flash appeared before he disappeared in a bolt of electricity. The bolt flew at an electric box on one of the buildings and flew up to a power antenna on the building, and then it flew up into the Cloud Rover.

Up inside the cloud Rover Blitz and Krystal saw the scene from below, both were astonished at what had happen. "What is he?" Krystal asked.

"I don't know…but mein gott it's not good." Blitz responded from the pilot's seat. Just then they saw a flash and then he was gone, nowhere to be seen. "Where did he go!?"

"I don't know but he couldn't have gotten that far!" The two continued to search for him but then they were jerked around like something hit them. Just one of the screens on the chopper turned on, showing a bolt of electricity, but it had a face on it. It was laughing and causing some of the controls to spark, making the chopper loose altitude.

"Blitz we have to jump!" The Shepherd told her husband, with a nod she and the Doberman moved to the main door, but pulled out a couple of parachutes. Opening the door manually the two of them jumped out and opened their chutes, slowly gliding to the ground as the Cloud Rover fell to the ground.

Hunter, Colleen and Axel saw their friends jumping out and ran over to the spot where they landed, concern for their safety. "You two ok!?"Hunter asked as he was the first to them.

"Ja, I'm good," He then looked at his wife, waiting for a confirmation, which he relaxed as she nodded at him.

"What is he, and how is he able to do that!?" Krystal asked as she stood up.

"I don't know but this gent is bad news," Colleen responded, then looked at the retriever. "What do we do now?"

Hunter looked at his teammates, trying to think of something, "I don't but-"Just then the cat appeared right behind Axel, before he could do anything the guy place both hands on the Akita. The field of electricity transferred onto Axel as he yelled out in pain, the others moved to save him. The cat let go, causing the Akita to fall to the ground and jumped back, only laughing at his work.

"Axel!" They all shouted as Hunter picked his brother up. "Come on, answer me."

The down Rover's body was trembling in the retriever's arms, voice all chattering, "B-b-bb-body…n-n-n-nn-numb…"

Out of reflex Blitz then charged and threw a powerful straight punch with his right hand, but somehow the cat caught it easily. Smirking he sent a powerful shock into the Doberman's fist, causing him to cry out as he retreated back, clutching his hand.

"Blitz, are you alright!?' his wife was by his side, looking the hand over. Some of the fur was burned off but other than that nothing big.

"It hurts…but I'm good," he winced, flexing his hand a bit.

"Guys we have to retreat, he's out of our league," Hunter called out to everyone. They all knew that he was right and had no other choice, so taking the chance they all ran over to the Street Rover. Colleen and Krystal had to carry Axel since his body was still numb and couldn't walk on his own power. Quickly piling into the car Hunter turned it on and managed to speed out of the area, leaving the cat behind, who just laughed at his retreating enemies. The laugh raised in volume until he was full out laughing his head off and in a bright flash he was gone.

A/N: Hope you like, I'm trying right now, but writing two stories with school is challenging at the moment. So I thank you for sticking with me.
