"What?!" Dark Fang snapped as she paced her office. "The prisoners escaped?! How?!"

"Well Agent Zap Wolf Bolt rescued them…" A henchcat explained nervously.

"And where were the dobermans?"

"On a biscuit break…"

"All of them?"

"Well… Yes?"

"YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THEY DIDN'T LISTEN TO INTERCOM?! I SAID TO LEAVE A FEW TO WATCH THE AREA!" Dark Fang snarled.

"Well… Zap would've gotten them outta there anyway…" The henchcat said in his defense.

"I was about to send our agents out to capture him!" Fang said, still very enraged. "Now we're behind schedule! Where are the ninjas?"

"They have infiltrated Shelter 17." the henchcat replied.

"Good… One thing went right at least…" the villain said bitterly. "Tell them to start their attack…"

"I'm on it boss. Right away." the cat dashed off, glad to be away from Fang.

"Good... Very good…" Dark Fang smirked evilly.

Zap and the others had arrived at the pound.

"Is everything okay?" Lucky asked Cookie.

"Yep." She replied. "I locked up. No one's getting in here!"

"Unless they're already in…" Zap muttered, sniffing the air.

"What?" Patches sniffed too. "I don't smell anything…"

"I hate to agree with a coyote, but living with humans does dull your senses…" Zap growled.

"Hey!" Cookie exclaimed. "How did you know Fang said that?"

"I know Fang… Sadly…" Zap sighed. "It's a long story that we don't have time for right now. I'm gonna check this place out."

"Patches! You're back!" Rebound and Cupcake dashed up.

"I'm fine… Just a mentally imbalanced canine and her henches…" Patches said angrily.

"Wait…" Cupcake started.

"Is Zap here?" Rebound finished.

"Yeah… I'm here…" Zap said quietly as he checked the locks on the hatches. "These aren't the best chains… We need steel… Not iron…"

"You won't be needing any chains…" A voice said from the corner of the room.

"Because we're already in!" Five feline ninjas flew from behind random objects.

"Ken!" Zap growled. "Senso, Tatakai, Kogeki and Daku! I knew I smelled you!"

"You're good Zap…" Ken hissed. "But you're no match for us!"

"Senso and Daku! Attack from behind! Kogeki, left and Tatakai, right! I'll attack head on! Go ninjas, go!" Ken flipped onto Zap's back.

"Zap!" Patches yelled. "What do we do?!"

"Get outta here!" Zap cried. "Don't worry about me! JUST GET OUT!"

"But…" Patches protested. "Alright… Let's go!" All of the pound puppies followed Patches out except Lucky.

"Zap!" Lucky stood on the doorway.

"GO!" Zap urged. "They need you Lucky! You're the pack leader!"

Lucky gave Zap one last glance before he left the pound.

"Be careful…"
