An Average Day In The Life Of A Rover

The Sky Rover is seen flying through the air. Inside we see Rally flying with DJ in the copilot's seat. Rally flips a few switches and the Sky Rover begins to pick up speed.

Rally slowly pulls back on the controls and the plane begins to pick up altitude. When the dial on the console reaches the 5,000 mark, he levels it out and keeps flying. Rally has a worried look on his face.

DJ: Relax, you're doin' fine. You're actually better at this than Hunter, and this is your first time actually flyin' the Sky Rover.

Rally: DJ, I'm not worried about flying. I just have a strange feeling that it's not going to be a smooth flight the whole way.

Suddenly, an explosion is heard and the Sky Rover lurches forward, sending Dylan to the ground. DJ jumps up and runs to a seat behind Rally and sits in front of a computer screen.

Dylan stands up and heads to the seat across from DJ. He sits down and two control sticks pop up from the floor as a computer screen drops from the roof.

Rally pushes the throttle all the way up and begins to ascend into the air. The fire from the machine guns ceases and the three listen as Rally again levels out the plane. Buzzing is heard from the console in front of DJ as he and Dylan look at it.

An explosion is heard, but this time the entire back end of the plane is blown away. The Sky Rover rapidly loses altitude and plummets to the ground. The Sky Rover (or what's left of it) strikes the ground hard, but for the most part stays intact. It comes to a stop half-buried in sand. Two Commanche helicopters land next to the partially destroyed Sky Rover. Five men, armed with rifles, emerge from them and walk over to the remains.

One soldier steps forward and opens the door to the plane. Due to the damage, the door falls off in his hand and drops to the ground.

He stands up and walks over to a two-way radio and changes it to the Sky Rover's frequency. Static is heard through the speaker. Hunter puts down the receiver and walks back over to the table, a troubled look on his face.

Colleen: Yeah! Besides.. Hunter, Huntress, Zudnik, Skia, Diamond, and a bunch of the other Rovers and Strayers are mixed breeds, too. So watch it, Fluffy!

They head toward the vehicle bay and climb into the Street Rover. As they leave the vehicle bay, the Street Rover converts to a jet and takes off.

There are dozens of cells along the walls. In one are DJ, Rally, and Dylan, unconscious on the floor. They begin to stir as someone walks into the room. He walks by the cells and stops in front of the one DJ, Rally, and Dylan are in. He looks down at them lying on the floor.

He walks off and exits the room. The Rovers sit down on the beds to try and figure out what's going on and what the soldier meant by "new master". The door opens again as another man enters, escorted by two soldiers armed with rifles. We can't make him out because of the small amount of light in the room. He walks over to the Rovers' cell and looks at them.

Parvo: Yes, me. I will turn you three into my best-ever cano-mutants. Then you will work for only me. *Laughs insanely, breaks into coughing fit*

Parvo: Ah, DJ. I still haven't forgotten you shooting me in the leg the last time we saw each other. That's why you're going in first.

One of the soldiers opens the cell, takes out DJ, and closes the cell door. DJ smiles as his arms are handcuffed behind his back.

The soldier that had handcuffed him hits him in the head with the butt of his rifle. DJ falls limp to the ground. Rally grabs onto the bars of the cell door.

Hunter is flying the Street Rover (Still in jet form) across the desert. From the seat behind him, Exile spots something on the ground.

Muzzle hops off and stops at a disturbed section in the sand. He grunts to get the others' attention. They walk over to where Muzzle was standing.

Hunter: Good job, Muzz. It looks like two helicopters landed here. Probably Commanches. *Sniffs* And it smells like there was at least five men. But where could they have taken DJ and the others?

Rally and Dylan are laying on the beds, awaiting their fate, when Parvo's two soldiers return with DJ, still in his old form. They open the cell and throw him in.

The Street Rover has converted back to it's original form. Hunter is pulling into the vehicle bay at RRMC. All the other Rovers and Strayers (The Rovers Special Task Force are counted as Rovers) are waiting for them as they pull in and come to a stop.

Diamond: Wait, wait, wait. You mean to tell me that some mysterious person has captured my brothers, and now we can't even find them?!

She runs over and gets in the driver's seat of the Street Rover. The others proceed to load into the different vehicles. Blitz, Exile, and Huntress get into the Street Rover with Colleen. Bear and Nitro get on the Cyclborg (A hoverbike that looks like a dog, just like all the other Rover vehicles). Star, Dervish, Jazz, Bayson, Dawn, and Diamond get into the Sonic Rover. Briggs, Zudnik, Rune, Kytec, Raymond, Carmen, and Sash get into the Rovers Special Task Force jet. Finally, Penny, Chavaleh, LionHeart, Shamon, NightShift, Cobber, Shag, Muzzle, and Hunter get into the Pack Rover.

They all head out in the different vehicles. The Street Rover has to convert back to a jet in order to avoid getting stuck in the sand.

Parvo (Frustrated): Can't you people work any faster?! I don't pay you to work slow! *Turns to Groomer* How soon `til we can mutate the Rovers?

Bayson is flying and Star is copiloting. Diamond is seated behind Bayson with Jazz behind her, and Dervish is sitting behind Star with Dawn behind him.

All the vehicles continue to fly over the desert. Suddenly Colleen veers off to the left, and the others follow, although not as quickly. When they finish the turn and catch back up to Colleen, Bayson isn't too impressed with her little "change of course".

Groomer walks up to the Rovers' cell and tells Rally and Dylan to back away from DJ. They refuse and she pulls a gun on DJ.

DJ pulls out the screwdriver and wrench he'd been carrying and lays them on the bed. Groomer opens the cell and takes DJ out, still with the gun aimed at his head. She closes the cell door and they walk towards the exit, but DJ turns around and nails Groomer in the face, knocking her to the ground. She drops her gun and DJ picks it up, along with the keys to the cells. She tries to get up, but DJ knocks her out. He walks over to the cell and lets out Dylan and Rally.

They walk towards the door, but stop when they here footsteps. Rally looks up and sees a ventilation duct. He points it out and they climb in just as Parvo walks into the room.

The Rovers and Strayers land in an unguarded section of the compound. They all climb out of the vehicles and look around.

They walk to the back of the building and hear banging above them. They aim their guns at a grate over the opening to a ventilation duct. It's kicked open and DJ, Rally, and Dylan jump down. They stand up and see the others.

They run off as the soldiers start to fire machine guns at them. They duck behind some trees, but Nitro is shot in the back before she can reach them.

He pulls out a gun from his boot and the others do the same. He runs out to Nitro as the others start to fire at the soldiers to keep them from shooting Bear. He picks her up and carries her behind the trees where the others were. They had already taken out about half the soldiers when the others retreat to get reinforcements. Colleen puts up her gun and walks over to Bear, who is holding Nitro and trying to calm her. She checks her pulse and looks grimly at Bear.

They get into the vehicles and head toward Mission Control. The reinforcements still hadn't arrived, so there is no problem getting away.

He snaps his fingers and Groomer, now conscious, takes aim with her gun and shoots the soldier in the head, killing him instantly.

Nitro is lying on a medical bed. Bear is in a chair next to her, holding her hand. Marauder walks up to them and puts a hand on Bear's shoulder.

They walk over to one corner of the room and Marauder stands with his back to Nitro, obviously not wanting her to see what he's saying.

Marauder (Whispering): Bear, I'm afraid that the bullet wounds are very deep. I'm not sure if anything's been damaged, so I'll have to run some tests. I think it would better if you waited outside. I'll call you as soon as the test results are in.

Parvo is sitting at a desk typing in something on his computer. Groomer has just gotten off her cell phone and she turns to face Parvo.

Parvo: Great, that gives us three hours less time to get them. Groomer, send out some more soldiers to find them. This time, don't fail me.

The Rovers and Strayers are still doing the same things as before when Marauder sticks his head in the doorway and knocks on the wall.

Marauder: Well, the bullets went very deep and hit her right lung and scraped her heart. She's bleeding heavily internally and externally.

They run back to the rec room and get Colleen. She follows them back to the infirmary and they all enter. Bear walks over to Nitro's side and holds her hand while Marauder and Colleen walk over to a corner to discuss the procedure. Bear whispers something in Nitro's ear and she smiles slightly.

Colleen and Marauder walk up and Colleen puts a mask over Nitro's muzzle. She turns a knob on a tank and gas flows through the tube to the mask. After a few seconds, Nitro is asleep and Colleen and Marauder prepare to go to work on her.

He gets up and sits across from Dylan. A screen and control sticks appear in front of him, just like they did for Dylan in the Sky Rover. He aims and locks onto one of the Commanches that were coming at them.

He pushes both buttons on the control sticks and two missiles are launched from underneath them. They fly directly towards the target and explode on impact, blowing the helicopter to pieces.

The other three Commanches keep coming and start to fire their machine guns. DJ pulls up sharply, avoiding most of the bullets. He levels the Sonic Rover and turns around so that he's behind the helicopters.

He pushes a different button on the arm of his chair and a giant laser beam fires from the nose of the plane, destroying all three Commanches before they have a chance to turn around. DJ turns the Sonic Rover back towards Parvo's base and they continue on.

Parvo (To himself): You Rovers are quite the nuisance. You have destroyed over half of my forces, but no matter how hard you try, I will prevail.

Bear is sitting alone on a bench, waiting for Colleen and Marauder to finish their work. It was suggested that he didn't see what was going on.

The three Rovers exit the Sonic Rover and walk to the back of the building. They are in the same area where Nitro was shot. DJ peeks around the corner, then turns toward Rally and Dylan.

At this he runs around the corner. A loud explosion is heard over the yelling of the men as a giant dust cloud sweeps around the side of the building. When it dies down, DJ and Dylan round the corner and see Rally standing in front of a giant crater in the ground. Dylan leans over to DJ.

The room is almost completely dark. The only light is coming from vents near the ceiling. The Rovers draw their guns, expecting an ambush. They walk out into a hall and continue on.

DJ: Incase you haven't noticed, we've got you outnumbered. It would be wise to give up, Parvo. Or should I say "Boots"?

The Rovers look at each other with bored expressions. They then pull out their guns and aim them at Parvo. Parvo stops chuckling and drops his gun. He tries to run, but Dylan knocks him out with his gun. They look down on him, then drag him out to the Sonic Rover. They secure him so he can't get free, incase he wakes up, and lift off.

Hunter hangs his head and Colleen puts an arm around his shoulders to comfort him. Huntress leans against Marauder with a solemn expression.

Huntress: I hope so. She was one of my best friends. Plus, if she doesn't, Bear's gonna be crushed. They can't even stand to be separated for more than five minutes.

Marauder is standing over Nitro as she begins to stir. He walks out, tells Colleen to get Bear, and walks back in. Colleen returns shortly with Bear and they enter the infirmary.

Rally: Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say that, but it does feel weird to be without my collar. Tch. Listen to me. I'm a stray and I'm talking about it feeling strange not wearing a collar.
