Chapter 17: Encounters Part 4

Exile sighed after he finished the call and looked back at his down friend. Moving back over to his side, his leg started to get some feeling back, the others looked up to him. "Well?" Razor asked.

"Comrade said he be fine after few minutes," the male husky relayed.

"That's a relief," Krystal sighed, glad to know her husband would be fine.

"Was there anything else?" T-Bone asked.

He nodded, "Yes, comrade said it is best we get out of here and treat comrade Blitz's burned hand. They'll take care of the rest from here."

"Ok, that sound good, but are you sure they don't need any help?" Jenna asked as she helped her husband to his feet.

"Da, besides I think it's best we go while we still can," They couldn't argue with that. Blitz was hurt, Exile's leg was numb, and T-Bone's arm was killing him, even though he wouldn't admit it. That left three healthy teammates left to fight, but it was best not to risk it.

"Alright then," Krystal then looked down. "Blitz, honey, are you ok to move?"

The Doberman's breathing decreased some as both eyes slowly started to open. "I…think so…just don't…touch me…" he grunted as he tried to sit up, but having trouble.

"Take your time comrade," he then turned to Jenna. "Go and make sure path is cleared, can't have chance at bad men getting in way."

She nodded, "Yes, good idea."

"I'll go with," the blond tom responded as she moved with the female husky, all the while rubbing his throbbing arm.

It didn't take long for Jenna to notice, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, just that my arm is killing me. Maybe your friend was right about us staying back," he sighed in defeat.

"We know what we're doing, but good thing you're stopping before it gets worse," Jenna responded as they left the room.

Blitz had trouble getting to his feet since he only had one arm to work with, he didn't want to risk using his burnt hand, and so he didn't risk anything. "Need help comrade?"

Blitz looked up at the husky and nodded, the feeling from contact passing. The husky then supported Blitz as addressed the others, "Alright let us be going now." Being careful the remaining Rovers and Swat Kat left the building.

Other side of the Base

Hunter's group was pressed against a wall as Hunter peaked around the corner. There was a small barricade; small crates and tables were blocking the path, with a few guards in place. This was a good sign they were headed in the right direction. Moving back he turned to the rest of the team, "We're defiantly headed in the right direction, but there's a road block a head."

"We should just plow through, we've wasted enough time sneaking around," Axel suggested.

"Not an option," the retriever responded with a shake. "The distance from the barricade and here is too long, plus there's no cover, we'll get hit easily."

"There has to be a way be can get by," Colleen spoke out loud, waiting for an idea. "There has to be a way to be close without them knowing."

"Rait, Ri Row Romething (Wait, I know something)!" Shag shouted as he reached into his fur.

"What is it big guy?" Hunter asked out of curiosity.

The big dog didn't responded as he pulled out two cans with pins in them. "Smoke screen?" Colleen identified them.

"Oh I see it now, we throw those and they won't be able to see," Hunter explained to them.

"Rah (Yah)!" Shag confirmed as he handed the cans to Hunter.

"But we wouldn't be able to see either," Axel pointed out.

"But you can," The retriever smiled.

"I know, but we're going to need to be fast on this, I can't lead you all and be fast at the same time," The Akita brought up.

"Then you're going to need to go at it alone," Colleen said to him, which made him widen his eyes.

"But…I'm not sure-

"Hey you even said so yourself," Hunter took over from there. "Only you'll be able to see, and it'll slow you down to lead us so you need to do it alone."

"But-"

"Don't worry we have faith in you," Colleen second her husband.

Axel didn't speak yet, going over what they were asking him to do. There was no other way to proceed so this was the only option, "Alright."

Hunter nodded as he pulled the pins, "Just stay low and you should be fine."

"Alright," Axel closed his eyes and opened them, to reveal his now purple eyes. He watched as Hunter threw the cans over the corner, the bouncing of the cans echo as some voices could be heard. There was then pops followed by hissing.

"Now!" Hunter yelled as the Akita rushed over the corner and moved.

He kept low to the floor as he as saw a few figures straight ahead. Luckily they seemed confused since they weren't firing. Hunter Colleen and Shag all listened to Axel's footsteps, then yells of surprised and then gunfire. Their hearts raced in worry, not knowing what was going on. It eased them some as they heard multiple thumps hitting the ground, a good indication that Axel was getting them.

Almost a minute later all the sounds stopped, as there was a small panting. There was still smoke in the hall so they still couldn't see what was going on. Hunter looked back at the others and gave a look of concern; they all saw and felt the same. Turning back around the corner he called out, "Axel!"

There wasn't a response at all, but his call had triggered footsteps that were coming their way. The three Rovers heard this and prepared themselves for the worst. But to their relief Axel came back to them, nothing seemed to be wrong with him.

"You alright?" Hunter asked his brother.

"Yeah, all good," he went back into the hall. "It's all clear."

"Good," Colleen responded as the three of them left cover and headed down the hall. They all jumped over the barricade and saw Axel's work, there were at least five knocked out guards. Shag looked over at the Akita, "Rood Rob (Good job)!"

"Thanks," He responded as they moved further down. They moved further but were caught when more guards walked by. "Move!" Hunter shouted as they fought back

Outside

The rest of the Rovers and Swat Kats were out of the base and just got into the Sub Rover. Exile laid Blitz down on a makeshift bed Jenna made as Krystal got out some medical supplies. T-Bone and Razor looked around the interior amazed at the sub. "Wow this is impressive," the smaller tom commented.

"Thanks," Krystal responded as she kneeled next to her husband to treat his burns. As that happened Jenna moved over to their radio.

"What are you doing?" T-Bone asked her.

"Contacting the authorities, so they can round up the people here," She explained as the equipment warned up.

"Oh, good idea then."

It was then they heard mumbles of Hard Drives voice coming from the missile the ginger tom had strapped on his suit. T-Bone sighed as he turned to his partner, "Can't you mute him or something?"

"Sorry buddy I can't," he shrugged.

"Figures."

"So what do we do now?" Razor asked out loud.

"We wait till comrades radios us, nothing more we can do," Exile explained as he moved to his friends.

"But there must be something else we can do."

"Like what?" Blitz managed to say, overhearing them. "I mean they told us to wait."

"I don't know," Krystal responded as she rubbed some burn cream on the Doberman's hand before bandaging it.

Razor started to think some as he thought over their current dilemma. They were told to wait for the others and yet they couldn't help further. If only there was a way to help out from the outside. "Maybe there's a way to deal with the robots from the outside."

"Like what?" Exile asked, catching the interest of the others, even his partner.

"I'm not sure…but what if we managed to cause a huge EMP, one that could destroy the robots on the inside?"

They all thought about this as he finished the explanation. "That could work…but how would we do that?" Krystal asked.

"I have an idea," he then looked over at his partner. "We could use one of our EMP missiles for this."

The burly tom had a confused look, "What could that do, I mean the missile has a small radius."

"I know that, but there has to be some way to increase the power and range of it."

It was then Exile thought of something, "How many do you have?"

"What?"

"Missiles, how many EMP missiles do you have?"

"Three, how come?" The two toms looked at the Husky questionably.

"I have idea."

Inside

The hall fell silent as the small fight ended; the Rovers were panting some as they all regrouped. The hall had nothing but knocked out guards and destroyed bots. "Everyone ok?" Hunter asked.
"Yes, we're good," Colleen, responded for the rest of them.

"Good, I think I can see the room just a head," He pointed to a large metal sliding door as they approached. Before opening it the retriever turned to his brother, "Do you sense anything?"

Axel closed his eyes as he mentally felt around for anything, taking a few seconds to do so. "Yes…there's a few presences behind here, but it's hard to pinpoint them."
"Ok, we're going to need to take this slowly," he then gripped the handle of the door. "We'll open this slowly but don't enter immediately, not until he figure out what we're up against."

"Ok, lets just be careful," Colleen put in there.

"Rah (Yah)" Shag seconded.

Axel then helped Hunter with the door and on the count of three they both opened it. They all stood to the side, waiting for something to happen but once the door opened nothing happened. "This is weird, I thought I'd would have heard gunfire," Axel spoke.

"Maybe they're waiting for us," Colleen added.

"Raybe (Maybe)," Shag agreed.

"Either way, we need to go in and take care of this," Hunter responded to the team as they all stood up. "You all ready for this?" Looking at one another they all nodded at their leader. Nodding back he did a mental countdown before they all rushed into the room, weapons pointed around looking for any sign of life. The robotics lab was large; it had some catwalks above, many convery belts and some machinery. There wasn't anyone or any more bots inside.

"No one's here," Axel spoke out loud as they spread out some.

"And none of the machinery is on," Colleen then pointed out.

"This isn't good," The Akita spoke once again, getting a bad feeling from all this.

They all froze as a loud voice echoed through out the room, "Estoy sorprendido de que todos llegado lejos, pero todo fue en vano!"

Hunter, Colleen and Shag were confused since they didn't know what he was saying. They then turned to Axel hoping to get a translation. Said Akita's ear flickered as the words became clear. "He's saying he's surprised that we've came so far, but it's in vain."

"Where are you!" Hunter then demanded, only to receive a loud laugh.

"Llevar a cabo!" The voice then shouted, like an order.

Axel's eyes widen as he turned to the others, "Take cover!" His warning was just in time as various guards and Bots popped up from nowhere. They all scattered around the room as multiple gunshots rained out.

The Entrance

The Swat Kats and Rovers all carried the three EMP missiles into the same room they had fought Hard Drive. Even though the others protest Blitz helped out as well. They tried to talk him out of it but he persisted and wouldn't take no as an answer. Seeing as there was no way to change his mind they allowed it.

They all went to the Turbo Kat and unloaded the missile and carried them back inside. Once they had them on the ground, standing up Exile began to work on them. "What are you doing exactly?" Blitz asked as he stood back, cradling his hurt hand some.

"Yeah, you haven't explained the plan fully yet," Razor commented also.

"If we manage to wire missiles together then there's chance we can cause huge EMP field to launch through base."

"What-is that even possible?" Krystal asked as they all heard the plan.

"Wait," The smaller tom responded. "That might work, but if we could somehow wire this into their systems then it could work better."

"But how?" T-Bone asked his partner.

"Don't know," He looked around, trying to find something that could help. Looking up he saw his answer. "The wires!"

They all looked up as well. "I see," Jenna responded, following. "If we can cut the wires and attach them to the missiles-"

"Then the EMP field should travel further," Blitz finished.

"I got it," the burly tom spoke as he aimed his glovatrix up and fired some kind of razor blade at the ceiling, cutting a wire. "Incoming!" he warned as the wire fell to the ground, the live sparks flying out.

"Good, this'll help," Razor commented as he started working on the wires, his own glovatrix protecting him from the electricity.

"Good comrade, this should be quickski," He fiddled with the wires on the missiles. They took a few minutes but they managed to connect them all to each other. "Alright done."

"Can you detonate this remotely?" Blitz asked.

"Yeah, hold on," Razor kneeled by all three missiles and fiddled with them. Soon sixty seconds appeared on the screens. "Ok we have one minute to get out of here before these blow!" he activated them as they all hightailed it out of there.

Other side of the Base

Hunter and Axel ducked behind one of the convery belts as the fire behind them continued. Shag and Colleen were doing the same but at another convery belt. Things weren't looking good for them as they had trouble trying to mount a defense. There seemed to be more robots here than actual guards and they were laying down a huge fire at them. They managed to get in a couple of shots but none more.

"This isn't working out!" Axel called out as he did a quick shot.

"I know, we're in over our heads now!" Hunter responded.

"We have to think of something, fast or else we're not leaving in tacked."

As those words left the gunfire stopped, much to their confusion. It was then the voice from earlier spoke again, "Do you wish to surrender!?"

Both brothers looked at one another, then at Colleen and Shag, all of which shook their head at the question. Even if they were outnumbered they weren't going to give in that easily. "No matter what, we don't surrender," Hunter, commented. They all nodded at the response, but weren't looking forward to the fight again.

"You're not going to answer!?" Once again there was silence. "Fine, have it your way."

All of the Rovers prepared for the resumed gunfire but then something happened and all the lights were blown. It was weird, as if something invisible passed through them, which made their fur stand on all ends. It was then they heard some heavy masses fall to the ground. It was then loud clicks were heard and flashlights were turned on. The Rovers looked up and saw the lights shined upon the down robots, they all seemed destroyed.

"Now's are chance!" Hunter called out as all of them moved out from behind cover and mounted a defensive.

What guards remainder were caught off guard as they were hit by the electric bolts, knocking them out. It was quick but thanks to the darkness they couldn't be seen. Soon all of them were down except for one. They could hear rapid footsteps as someone was trying to escape. "Where is he!?" Hunter called out, not being able to see.

"I got him," Axel called out as he activated his power. Looking around he saw someone far off, rushing he caught up and tackled the guy to the ground. Being blind the guy tried to punch back but without his sight Axel had the upper hand. Blocking the punches the Akita delivered some quick punches to daze the guy; once it worked he gave one last punch that knocked the guy out completely.

Axel panted some as the small fight ended. In the dark he could tell where the others were, and could see they were relieved that he got the guy. It was then that the others grabbed some of the flashlights on the ground and shined them in Axels' direction. They saw him get up, off of the leader. In the light Hunter smiled, "Good, you go him."

The Akita responded with a smile and nod, "Yes…it's over."

"Good, now lets take it home," he responded, they all relaxed at this, finally this mission was over and they were going home.

A/N: Hope you like, I know it's not good, but like I said I rushed through it. Now I only have one chapter left and i'm going to try to cram as much in as I can. I thank you for waiting.
