Author's Note: I'm very sorry for the wait, I've had a real bad case of writers block, plus I've been spending a lot of time with my newphew. And also school has been my focus. I rushed since I wanted to finish so enjoy.
Chapter 6: Answers Part 1
The ride back to HQ was silent, the rovers not wanting to comment on their failed battle. They faced a new enemy and they couldn't land a single hit on him. Worst of all two of their own got hurt during it. Blitz's hand would be alright; just needed some burn cream and some bandages. Colleen checked it over and said it was a minor electrical burn. Axel on the other hand was electrocuted and could barely feel any part of his body. He got some feeling back in his legs, but that was all for now.
A few minutes later they entered the hanger and stopped the car, turning it off Hunter hoped out of the car, as did everyone else. Blitz and Hunter then helped Axel out, even though he could feel his legs, they didn't want to risk him falling. "You alright there?" the retriever asked his brother.
"Yeah," Was his response, as they slowly walked out of the hanger. "The feeling is slowly starting to come back."
"That's good," Blitz responded as they headed for the med bay.
"How's your hand hun?" Krystal asked, bringing up the rear with Colleen.
"Still burns a bit…but it's tolerable."
"Don't worry, we can fix it in a sec," Colleen spoke as they reached the door. The collie opened it and they were surprised to find that everyone else was still there.
Everyone inside all had their eyes raised as they saw their friends coming back in. "My god, what happened?" The Master asked as he moved closer to them.
"Master we were attacked by…an unknown enemy," Hunter began to explain as he and Blitz helped Axel over to a spare bed to sit him down. Then they looked over at Chance and Jake's direction, both cats remained where they were before they left. "I have a feeling you two would know about this."
Chance raised an eye at the comment, "What do you mean?"
"The enemy we faced was another cat…just like you two," Colleen finished.
"Another…just like…us?" Jake questioned, an expression of think on his face. "Wait what did they look like?"
"Well he had a Mohawk," Krystal started out as Colleen got some supplies to treat Blitz's hand. "Some weird long coat which had some electricity coursing around him-"
"Hard Drive!" Both of their eyes widen at that.
"You mean he's here!?" Chance shouted.
"Who's Hard Drive?" Exile asked for all of them.
"He's an enemy of ours," Jake responded, edging himself closer to the ledge of the bed. "One that shouldn't be taken lightly."
"Where did he come from?" Jenna asked next.
"Look maybe we clear some air first before we ask that," Chance spoke, moving off of the bed, being careful with his arm. "I know we each have things we need to ask each other."
"Yes that would be best to get out of the way," The Master responded. "Since you're more confused than we are, you two go first."
"Gladly," Chance responded as he stood next to Jake. "First off who are you all, because I can swear that I never in my life seen anyone like you all."
Hunter decided to speak first, "We are called the Road Rovers, a canine team of hero's whose mission is to protect the world form any kind of Evil. I'm Hunter, team leader."
The retriever's wife then spoke next as she wrapped Blitz's hand with a bandage, "I'm Colleen, the team's second in command, and medic…and wife to Hunter."
You're married?" Chance questioned.
"Yes…" The couple blushed. "As well as most of us."
"The Doberman and German Sheppard is Blitz and Krystal, they are our teams support, in case we need back up."
"And also couple number two," Blitz smiled as he showed them holding hands.
"Yeah," Krystal responded with a smile of her own.
"The two Akita's are Axel and Ariel. Axel is our team's psychic while Ariel is also part of our support."
"Psychic?" Jake questioned, not really believing what he heard.
"Yeah, but I'll tell you more about that later," Axel responded.
"It's a long story," Ariel second as she was next to Axel, now giving the two toms a look at her belly.
"Are you expecting?" Chance asked out of curiosity.
"Yes we are."
"Congrats," They both responded.
"Thanks."
Hunter then continued, "The two Huskies are Exile and Jenna, our demolition experts."
"Well actually demolition expert in training," Jenna responded.
Exile giggled as he wrapped an arm around her, "She good student."
"And finally that's Shag and Muzzle. Our supply carrier and secret weapon."
Shag just waved as Muzzled entered the scene, the insane dog bounced a couple of feet away from the two. "Whoa!" They both responded at the sight of the Rottweiler, moving back a bit.
"Don't worry gents, he's harmless once you get to know him," Colleen waved off, showing he was friendly.
"Uh…ok," Chance responded, him and his friend settling down some.
"And my name is Professor Shepard, the creator of the Rovers and their caretaker."
"Well since we got introductions out of the way," Chance spot from his spot next to his friend. "Where are we exactly, because I can tell we're not at our home town?"
"Well…" The Master spoke first, not sure if this would help. "You're in a secret base, I can't tell you where exactly but it's somewhere in New Mexico."
"New what?" Chance responded, confused at what he said. "I never heard of what you said."
"Neither have I," Jake spoke next.
"Interesting….where you two from then?"
Jake then answered for the both of them, "We're from Megakat City."
"Megakat what?" Hunter ended up asked, all of the Rovers confused.
"How could you all not of heard of it?"
"To my knowledge that place doesn't exist," Professor Hubert entered the scene, moving closer to them, making it known that he heard them.
"Oh nice timing professor, this is Professor Hubert, our scientist.
"Nice to meet you two," The bloodhound commented with a smile.
"Yeah, same thing," Chance responded.
"Now as you were saying?" The Master asked the professor.
"Like I said it doesn't exist."
"How can that be?" The burly tom commented in disbelief. "How could our home not exist? It's like we…entered…" The look on his face told them he thought of something. Just then he looked to his friend. "Jake what were you doing before we lost consciousness?"
The smaller tom took a sec to think, the whole event was a little blurry at the moment. "Well…we were flying on patrol…there were a thunderstorm happening."
"Oh yeah, I remember that. We were heading home since we didn't want to run the risk of being struck by lightning."
"Right," Jake nodded, retelling the tale. "I then heard a beeping coming from the dimensional radar and then-"Just then Chance hit Jake on the back of the head.
"Jake how many times did I tell you not to mess around with that stupid radar!"
The ginger tom rubbed the aching spot as it came to him, "Wait…the lightning…mixed with the radar..." Both toms eyes widen as the thought sunk in. "Oh no…"
"Not again!" Chance face palmed himself.
"What's wrong?" Colleen then asked.
The question reached the two, but they were too caught up the realization to make a response right away.
"Uh…I don't think we should say yet…I mean it's real hard to believe."
"Try us," Hunter responded, knowing they would believe anything, even after all the adventures they been through.
A/N: Hope you like, I tried to hurry but I ended up rushing, so I hope it's good. I'm going to not write duel stories at the same time for a while, it's real taxing. I'll try not to take long on the next chapter.
