Chapter 7: Answers Part 2

Somewhere in town the cat known as Hard Drive surged through the wires of the local phone lines at lighting fast speeds. After his encounter he choose to go off and hide somewhere for a bit, to get his bearings. Moving through a cable to the roof of a building he jumped out and materialized himself up on top of a building, taking a look at his surroundings. "Hmm…strange place away from the city…plus all these people look different to me." He watched the tall buildings around him and then saw the visible figures of people on the streets.

"I wonder how I ended up here." He thought to himself, placing a hand on his chin.

"You're an interesting creature, Amigo," A voice spoke from behind, causing the cat to jump a little.

Turning around Hard Drive saw a commando dressed like person behind him. He stood there all stoic, "Who are you!?" He shouted, the electric current surrounding him turning visible.

"Whoa, whoa, easy there loco," He put his hands up, showing he wasn't a threat. "I just came here to talk."

"Why, I don't even know you," He hissed.

"But I know what you're capable of," The stranger grinned, walking around the roof without moving closer.

"You were spying on me?" An eye rose, the electric current intensifying.

"Well…more like observing," He responded with a grin. "The way you handle yourself proves you are worthy of my attention."

"And what does that has to do with me?"

"I'm offering you the chance to join me."

Hard Drive rolled his eyes at this, "And why would I help someone I don't know?"

"Because I may know a way to send you back to where you came from." That one statement froze the cat in his tracks, but yet how did he know he was lost. "Believe me when I say that you don't belong here and you might long to go back home." He gave him a minute to think it over, the silence only making him think positive.

"H-How can you help me?" the electric current back down as he wanted to hear more.

"Unfortunately that's all I will say, you could maybe get more, if you do what I ask."

"How do I know you're not lying about any of this?"

"Fine, then remain stuck here for all I care," The stranger turned and began to walk away from his target, only to grin when he was stopped.

"What would I have to do?"

The grin only got bigger as he turned to face Hard Drive, "I see that you can control this electric current…this is something I will need."

Road Rover HQ

"Another Dimension?" Hunter questioned, Jake and Chance explained to them what could have happened to them that caused them to come here.

"Yes, this has happened to us once already," Jake began to explain as Colleen was wrapping the splint around his injured leg. "Apparently the radar in our jet has some weird property that can open up a rift into another dimension."

"All with the help of lightning?" The Master asked, making sure they all had the facts right.

"Yes," Chance responded this time, sitting next to his friend. "Unless we can get hit by another bolt we're stuck here."

"We would be stuck here regardless if…Wait what happened to our jet!" The ginger tom quickly spoke, remembering out their aircraft.

"Don't worry comrades," Exile calmed him down. "Jet is in hanger, but damaged."

"How bad?"

"Damage is repairable, but will take me while to get airborne again."

"I should help; after all I know the thing inside out."

"That wouldn't be a good idea," Colleen warned as she finished her work. "It's not good for you to be working with an injured leg."

"I've been through worse, I can handle-"

"Sorry but as long as you're leg is wrapped like that you won't be doing any work."

"Hey come on-"The smaller tom was interrupted by Chance.

"Jake maybe you should sit out during the repairs," That earned a surprised look from his friend. "Come on buddy we barely got out of that crash without any major injuries, you best heal up your leg before it gets worse."

Jake shook his head with closed eyes, a sigh escaping his mouth as the fact that his buddy was telling him what's best. "Fine."

"Don't worry I'll get you some crutches so you can still walk around," Colleen smiled, receiving a nod from the tom.

"Thanks," he sighed.

"And besides we can't leave until we capture Hard Drive," Chance further added.

"We can handle that for now, if we can," Hunter responded while looking down at the floor.

"But how can we?" Krystal asked. "I mean we can't even get close to him without getting electrocuted."

"Yeah, I learned that the hard way," Axel responded as he was sitting on one of the beds. His whole body getting most of its feeling back.

"Ja, we couldn't even lay one hit on him," Blitz responded as he stood next to his wife

"It's his coat," Jake ended up say, receiving the crutches from the collie.

"His coat?" Jenna asked.

"Yes, the coat he wears is what gives him that ability. He stole it from a lab back from our hometown; it was specially made to control electrical currents."

"How did he get it?" Ariel asked as she stood next to Axel.

"We're not really sure," Chance responded. "All we know is that with that coat in his possession he's very tricky to fight."

"Another thing, what does that coat fully do?" Hunter remembered something from the battle. "I mean earlier he somehow disappeared out of nowhere."

"Oh yeah," Blitz started to catch on. "He did something to the cloud Rover which caused it to crash."

"It crashed?" The Master asked shocked.

"Ja, we couldn't recover it since we needed to get out of there fast."

"Understood," He nodded. "I'll find a way to get it back here." They turned back to look at the two toms to get a response.

"Well that coat allows him to merge with anything electrical, allowing him to travel through any wires that are connected," The ginger tome explained first.

"Plus he can take over and control anything he can fuse with," The burly tom went next.

"That coat can do all that?" The retriever asked for the rest of the team, amazed at the kind of technology they were against.

"Yes, and unless you're careful you'll be in a lot of trouble."

"We can tell you all how to handle him, but please another time," Jake responded, hopping off the table and using the crutches.

"Let's move this to another room," Hunter spoke, the others agreeing with their leader.

"I wish I can stay longer but I need to monitor to see if I can catch this Hard Drive before he makes another move. So I bide you all farewell for now."

"Bye Master," The rover responded as they watched the man walk out of the room.

"Axel, can you walk?" Hunter asked his brother.

"Yeah," The Akita nodded as he hopped off the bed. "The feel all came back now."

"Good, come Jake and Chance, let's go to our Rec room." Both nodded as they began to follow the Rovers out of the med bay, glad for a change in scenery. "So how do you two know this guy anyway?"

"It's a very long story," Chance responded as he brought of the rear.

"We have time," Colleen responded.

"Basically we're vigilantes."

"Vigilantes?" Colleen's eye rose, as did everyone else's.

"Yes, I don't know how law enforcement is done here but we were part of an organization called the Enforcers. They were kind of like the military and police mixed together."

"Really?" Hunter sounded interested with this.

"Yes, but we were kicked off the force after an accident that wasn't our fault," Chance took over from there.

"What happened?"

"Let's get somewhere we can sit down, trust us when we said it's a long story." The Rovers nodded as they continued down the hall in silence, nearing the door to the Rec room. Things were getting interesting with their new friends, and they only seemed to offer more.
