Keith and Hunter ran into the armory and began equipping themselves for the grueling fight ahead. Keith grabbed a combat shotgun along with a SIG P226 for his arsenal, while Hunter grabbed an MP5 and the same SIG as well. The both grabbed a pair of black tactical pants out of the locker, along with melee/bullet proof vests. They snapped their holsters, slings and various accessories onto their person, and then they began cleaning out the ammo chest. Keith couldn't help what Blitz said to Hunter back in the hallway, and he just had to ask.

There's no time for that now. We have to save Shepherd.

They finished equipping themselves, and then Hunter asked

"You ready?"

Keith nodded and they stepped out into the hallway, waving their guns around.

"Clear!" Keith said.

"This way! To the heliport!" Hunter said.

The duo ran down the hallway, and saw Parvo along with the groomer taking Shepherd aboard their ship.

"Freeze!" Keith shouted, aiming his gun at them.

A few cano sapien mutants jumped out of nowhere and surrounded the duo, looking much like the road rovers.

Hunter noticed how well engineered they looked, and thought

They look just like us! Parvo must have been doing some research.

"So I see you have a new recruit! Too bad he's going to die on his first day!" Parvo laughed.

"What the fuck do you want Parvo?! How did you manage these mutations on these dogs!?" Hunter demanded.

"My, my what a temper! If you must know, we used a virus we discovered through a contact in Tricell! I'm sure you saw an example on your friend Blitz. Marvelous isn't it?" Parvo replied.

"Tricell?!" Keith shouted "The pharmaceutical company?"

"Why yes!" the groomer said in her smooth voice "You've done your homework!"

"Enough chit chat! Soldiers retreat! Except you!" Parvo ordered, pointing to a Doberman.

The groomer went over to the Doberman and pulled out an injector with some sort of substance, and then said "Here's a taste of what's to come! Enjoy!"

The groomer injected the Doberman, and then ran off to the plane to escape with Parvo. The duo fired on the plane, attempting to stop them, but to no avail.

"Dammit! Now...." Hunter began. "Hunter look!"

Keith shouted, pointing to the Doberman. Hunter looked at the Doberman, and was shocked at what he saw. The dog was being covered in hundreds of black tentacles and was growing to a huge size. It mutated until it was just a mass of tentacles, writhing in every direction, Soon the tentacles retreated, revealing a giant form of the Doberman, rippling with massive muscles with various tears all over it's body where the parasites were protruding. It had huge menacing teeth, and had a roar that pierced the duo to their souls. You could barely tell it was a dog; the mutation quickly transforming the creature.

"What the hell?!" Hunter exclaimed, raising his handgun.

Keith said nothing and began firing, aiming for the head. All the shots hit, but the beast was absorbing them like a sponge.

"Dammit! Now what?" Hunter shouted.

Keith examined the creature: it was truly beginning to seem invincible, but something to go under such a quick transformation must have a weakness. Keith then noticed that the parasites were protruding in and out of the tears the creature; that was it.

"Hunter aim for the tears! Don't let up!" Keith barked.

"Right!" Hunter replied.

The duo fired rapidly on the creature's parasites, and it quickly went down.

"We did it!" Hunter proclaimed.

Keith then held up his hand in response in a clenched fist, signaling Hunter to stop, and then he pointed at the creature. The creature got up and roared loudly, shaking the room. The dog then began rushing the two canines, but the duo quickly rolled out of the way in the niche of time.

"You okay Hunter?" Keith shouted.

"I'm fine! What now?" Hunter asked, switching to his machine gun.

"Same strategy, just stay on your toes!" Keith replied, giving him a thumbs up. T

he two were putting up quite a fight, rolling, ducking and shooting with all they had, then it happened.

"Augh!" Hunter screamed, being rammed by the massive creature.

"I'm coming!" Keith yelled, trying to draw the creature's attention away from Hunter. The creature roared, then ran at Keith with all it had. Keith neatly rolled out of the way, and he ran over to Hunter, who was barely supporting himself to stand up.

"Are you okay?!" Keith asked, supporting his companion.

"I'm fine.....but I think my right leg's broken....." Hunter groaned.

"What!?" Keith asked. He tapped his leg gently, and sure enough he got a yelp of pain.

No! I can't do this alone! And with Hunter like this he's an easy target. What do I do?! Keith sat Hunter down behind him, and pulled out his shotgun and began firing rapidly on the creature. "Keith leave me! Get out of here! I don't want you to die!" Hunter pleaded, pulling on Keith's leg.

"Likewise! Were partners to the end! I'm not leaving you! We go down together!" Keith proclaimed, not taking his eyes off the creature.

Keith......

The creature came closer and closer, and then the dreaded click came.

No!

Keith put himself in front of Hunter, ready to give his life for his partner.

"Keith no!" Hunter shouted.

Time slowed down, then a voice rang out "Burn in hell you son of a bitch!"

The creature was then engulfed in a huge explosion, and it was no more. Keith looked to the source of their savior; it was Blitz!

"Blitz!" Hunter shouted, trying to get up.

"Augh!" Hunter cried, and then passed out.

"Hunter!" Blitz and Keith said in unison.

Blitz ran over to the two dogs who were clearly exhausted from their fight.

"Is he alright?" Blitz asked, checking on Hunter.

"He has a broken leg, we need to patch him up." Keith said, supporting Hunter.

"Augh!" Keith yelped. Keith's right ankle and shoulder were pounding, and it became hard to support Hunter.

"Here let me help you!" Blitz said, catching the two from behind.

"Thanks," Keith replied plainly.

Blitz put Hunter in the center of them, and then they shuffled their way out of the heliport. Silence ensued, then Blitz spoke up. "I owe you a thank you Keith. You saved my life and Hunter's; you are forever in my debt."

Is this the same Blitz that I met a couple days ago? "It's not a problem," Keith replied with a smile.

"Not only that....you gave Hunter something I couldn't." Blitz added.

Keith froze, then asked "What do you mean?" "I know about you and Hunter Keith; it's alright." Blitz replied with a warm smile.

Keith was still kind of puzzled, so he kept digging.

"Alright.....but what do you mean about how you couldn't give him.....?"

"The love he deserves." Blitz finished Keith's sentence. "In reality I love Hunter deeply, always have always will. We've been close friends since the founding of the Rovers, and we fell in love with each other. Except I couldn't give myself wholly to Hunter, I just couldn't. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't love him with all my heart. It broke Hunter's heart, and he was devastated. We have always been close partners, but beyond that......"

Keith was shocked, he had no idea. So Blitz was really a caring and intelligent person in reality, not some narcissist who just cared about himself.

"Then why do you act so goofy?" Keith asked.

"Because I don't want everyone to know what I'm really like. I'm afraid of being judged....." Blitz replied.

Keith smiled "Well I like you and Hunter likes you for what you really are......so why not?"

"Okay.....I'll give it a try." Blitz replied.

The two eventually came to the infirmary, and they set Hunter down in the middle bed between Exile and Colleen, and Keith sat on a chair next to Hunter's bedside.

"So how are they?" Keith asked.

"They're fine. Just unconscious. I still can't believe I did this....." Blitz trailed off.

"It's alright buddy." Keith said, trying to cheer the Doberman up.

Blitz smiled back at the Shepherd, and then he went over to the cabinet to get something.

"What are you getting?" Keith asked.

"Just some stuff to patch you guys up," Blitz replied.

"No need dude. Watch." Keith instructed. Keith took his left hand and waved it over his damaged areas, and then it glowed a bright green.

"Woah!" Blitz proclaimed. "I'm guessing that's your super power?"

"Yeah, in reality I was an experiment back in....." Keith began.

"Ughhh....." Hunter groaned. "Good to see you're awake dude," Keith said, going over to Hunter. "What happened?" Hunter asked.

"Blitz saved us from that thing," Keith replied, motioning towards Blitz.

"Blitz?" Hunter asked looking over at him.

The two canines looked at each other briefly, locked in each others gaze.

I guess Blitz wasn't lying....

"Thanks dude. I...we owe you one." Hunter said.

"It's not a problem, how are you feeling?" Blitz asked.

"I'm a little sore, but I think my right legs broken...." Hunter replied somewhat groggily.

"Here...." Keith said, waving his hand over his leg. Keith's hand glowed a bright green, and then Hunter's leg was instantly healed.

"Wow! I didn't know you could do that!" Hunter said happily.

"Ha, well that and a lot of other things," Keith smiled.

"Like what?" Hunter asked.

"I'll explain later" Keith replied "Blitz, how are Exile and Colleen?"

"They're fine, just that they're unconscious. They should wake up soon." Blitz replied.

"What do we do now?" Hunter asked.

"We have to go after Parvo and the groomer. We can't just abandon Shepherd, besides who knows what he'll do with this new virus he's discovered?" Keith said.

"I agree," Blitz replied

"I did an analysis on the thing Keith pulled of me. It's apparently some sort of parasite controlled by some sort of supersonic waves, what's more these waves can be emitted form anywhere around the globe." Blitz explained. Keith nodded, then said "We have to wait for Colleen and Exile to wake up. We'll need all the help we can get."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then Hunter got up.

"Well, I'm going to shower and get some rest. I'll see you two later." Hunter walked out, leaving Blitz and Keith alone.

Blitz looked after Hunter with a look of concern on his face.

"I'm worried about him. He's never been this scared before."

"Go and talk to him Blitz, I'll look after Exile and Colleen. He needs you." Keith said.

"But Keith...." Blitz replied reluctantly.

"You're his partner, he needs you. I may love him, but you two have a bond that is stronger than that. Go and talk to him." Keith explained.

"But what do I say?" Blitz asked.

"Whatever feels natural. Go." Keith replied.

Blitz nodded and stepped out into the hallway to go after Hunter.

What do I say? What should I do?

He came to Hunter's room and found it unlocked, so he stepped inside. He heard the shower running, so he called out "Hunter?" No response, but he though he heard sobbing. Blitz stepped towards the bathroom, and looked in, taking in the beautiful golden masculine sight before him. Hunter was quite a sight to behold in his natural form, but as beautiful as he was, seeing him slumped against the shower wall in sadness completely turned Blitz off.

"Hunter? Are you okay?" Blitz asked. Hunter was startled slightly at the sound of Blitz's voice, and tried to straighten himself. "Oh Blitz! It's just you....." Hunter said.

The two just stared at each other through the steamed up glass, trying to figure out what each other was thinking.

"Blitz.....I.....I'm so scared. I almost lost Keith and you, the two most important people in my life. I couldn't protect you, and it's all because I was weak! I....." Hunter stopped, trying to hold back tears. He leaned against the glass, and just shook. Blitz stripped down, and opened the glass door, embracing Hunter.

"Hunter this is something completely new we've never encountered before. None of us could've been prepared for this, not even you. Please calm down....shhh...." Blitz soothed rocking Hunter back and forth.

Hunter just lay his head against Blitz's orange colored chest, and just sobbed. He still he had feelings for his partner, but he knew Blitz couldn't return the feelings. He still remembers that night all to well....

"Blitz....you know you're my best friend and I trust you no matter what, right?" Hunter asked Blitz. T

he two were out for a walk on the beach in the fall, and the air was crisp, yet comfortable. There wasn't a cloud to be found, and the moon was in a perfect crescent.

"Yeah, and I feel the same way about you Hunter. Why the questions all the sudden?"

"Because Blitz, I want to take our relationship to the next level, if that's okay..." Hunter asked a little shy.

"Hunter....I.....love you too....but...." Blitz began.

He was silenced with a deep kiss, and Hunter wrapped his arms around Blitz. Blitz let his mind go, and embraced Hunter back. The two were just in the bathing suits, so it they were half naked already. Hunter's hands began wandering to Blitz's crotch, and Blitz jumped back to reality.

"Hunter please stop!" Blitz whined. Hunter immediately released Blitz, and stepped back.

"Blitz what's wrong?" Hunter asked a little saddened. "Hunter I love you, deeply. But I...." Blitz said.

"What is it Blitz? We've cuddled and comforted each other, showered together, kissed, and mutually jerked off. We're only taking another small step!" Hunter argued.

"Hunter....you're practically my brother, my closest friend, the only person I've ever let know who I really am. I don't want to lose that by fucking up on the next level! I don't want to lose you dammit!" Blitz shouted, tears filling his eyes.

"Blitz nothing will happen. We know each too well! We know our boundaries, please...." Hunter pleaded, grabbing Blitz's paw.

"That's the point Hunter! Best friends aren't best lovers as well! Please understand Hunter! I love you, but I...." Blitz said.

"Okay I understand...." Hunter whispered, head dropping.

"Hunter please don't....." Blitz began. Hunter turned and ran away from Blitz as fast as he could, tears streaming down his face.

"Wait Hunter!" Blitz pleaded.

It was no use, Hunter was too fast. Hunter eventually collapsed on the beach and just cried into the sand, pounding the ground with all he had. He just lay there, curled up in a ball, trying to shut out the world.

Things were never quite the same between Blitz and Hunter after that, but overtime they began to fully trust each and love each other like that use to, but now they both knew there were limits, which made their relationship feel more restricted. Hunter looked up at Blitz with his hazel eyes, and they made contact with Blitz's brown ones. They just looked at each other, drawing comfort and strength. Hunter lightly kissed Blitz on the lips, and just held himself there. Blitz responded with a light kiss as well, and the two just held and kissed each other.

"Well let's finish up and check up on the others, okay?" Hunter suggested.

Blitz nodded, and the two dried themselves off, pulled on a pair of shorts, and then headed back towards the infirmary. Hunter and Exile stepped inside, finding Keith healing their injured comrades. Exile was wide awake, but Colleen was still unconscious.

"Hey comrades!" Exile said happily while Keith was healing his various bumps and bruises.

"Exile! It's good to see you're awake!" Hunter replied, going over to hug his friend.

"Hey Exile...." Blitz said a little frightened.

Exile looked a Blitz a little strangely, then asked "Are you back to normal? Are you okay?" Exile asked.

"I'm fine. Keith and Hunter pulled off that parasite that was controlling me. I'm sorry I hurt you so badly." Blitz said in shame.

Exile smiled and replied "It's okay comrade, I know it wasn't you." Blitz smiled back and then looked over at Colleen.

Keith saw this and said "I have some bad news."

All three canines perked up in curiosity and waited for the news.

"Colleen's brain has some bleeding, and she is in a deep coma. I healed her the best I could, but I don't know if or when she'll wake up." Keith said sadly.

Blitz punched the wall and shouted "Goddammit! This is all my fault! She might never wake up, and it's all because of me! If I hadn't been kidnapped...." Exile just looked at Blitz and wondered

Is this really the Blitz I know? Is he actually taking the blame for something and feeling shame? What's going on?

Blitz kept punching the wall until his knuckles began to bleed, then Keith ran up behind him to restrain him.

"Calm down buddy! We both know this isn't going to accomplish anything. This isn't your fault, and you know it! You weren't in control!"

"But I was aware! I could feel myself squeezing the life out of her!" Blitz argued, trying to get free.

"Comrade please calm down! We'll get the people who did this! Just please stop!" Exile pleaded, eyes becoming misty.

Blitz just looked over at Exile, a little thrown off. Was Exile actually caring about him? Blitz just nodded and looked away from everyone.

Keith let him go and spoke up "Our first priority is to go after Parvo and stop him from spreading the virus. Then we'll go after Tricell. Any ideas where Parvo might be?"

"Not a clue, he constantly changes position and is hard to track." Hunter explained.

"Actually I might have an idea where he is. When I was kidnapped a few months back, I overheard one of the guards talking about a base in Africa called Kijuju. I don't know where the exact coordinates are, but it's worth a shot." Blitz said.

"That's where were headed then. We'll pull out first thing in the morning. Let's get some rest first though." Keith said.

"What about Colleen? We can't just leave her!" Blitz spoke up.

"We'll have Shag stay behind. What's more I'll place an healing aura over her, to keep her stable." Keith responded. The three canines nodded in agreement, then Keith place an aura over Colleen. The three stepped out into the hallway, then went to their rooms to turn in for the night.
