Keith's right ear began to twitch and he began to stir slightly. He awoke to a still naked Hunter fast asleep and cuddled up to him; mouth agape and drool hanging off his muzzle. He would laugh at the sight if he didn't sense there was danger lurking about. Keith heard voices in Swahili coming from outside the facility and from the sounds of it there were a lot of bodies hanging about.

Keith shook Hunter awake and Hunter asked groggily "Keith? What's wrong?"

"Sh. Were not alone. Wake up Exile and Blitz. Then get dressed and get your weapons." Keith whispered, pulling on his shoes, pants and tactical vest.

"I'm going upstairs to look out the windows and see what were up against. Hurry!"

Hunter nodded and jumped out of the truck, making sure he didn't make too much noise. Keith hurried through the maze of trucks and equipment to the second floor; almost tripping in the process since it was so dark. Keith ran up the stairs into one of the offices and cursed at what he saw.

Damn it! There's a ton of these fuckers!

From what Keith could see there were at least three hundred of those dogs, all equipped with various makeshift weapons and torches. They were running all around the yard trying to organize an attack, and from what it seems they were trying to block all the exits.

These guys are smart. It's not gonna be easy getting out of this. Think Keith!

Keith began pacing back and forth trying to think of some way they could escape.

Ammo wise there's no way we could fight our way out. There's too many. We could hotwire one of these trucks and escape. We could just ram through the crowd and escape through the gate on the other side of this warehouse. But yet we have no idea what lies ahead. Dammit! We have to do something!

Keith stopped his thinking and ran back down the stairs to his compatriots, who were just finishing reequipping themselves.

"Keith! What are we up against?" Exile asked, reloading his handgun.

"At least three hundred of those dogs. All armed with makeshift weapons and torches. They're trying to seal off the exits and trap us in here." Keith explained, grabbing his weapons.

"Damn it! We can't fight them in here! It's too tight of a space." Blitz said.

"Were not fighting our way out; were running. Exile I need you to hotwire one of these trucks....wait where's Hunter?" Keith said.

"Over here guys! I found us a ride!" Hunter shouted over the trucks.

The dogs ran over to where Hunter was shouting and saw a camo military style all terrain vehicle with two machine gun turrets. On was on top of the truck while one was on the bottom with a separate standing area for the user. From the looks of it had a full supply of ammo and was ready to tear up some mutant dog ass. It could seat all four of the rovers, but they knew two of them would be operating the turrets anyway. Hunter was seated in the driver's seat grinning like a maniac; the sight making all the dogs laugh.

"Cool! Any keys comrade?" Exile asked.

"No, but I'm sure you can hotwire it." Hunter replied.

"Good work Hunter. Exile start hotwiring this thing. Blitz and Hunter, we'll draw the enemies fire. As soon as you get that thing revved, tear through the warehouse wall outside. These walls seem pretty flimsy so it shouldn't give you any trouble." Keith said. "You all ready?"

All the dogs nodded and cocked their weapons.

"All right. Blitz take Exile's sniper rifle and provide covering fire for Hunter and I. Hunter were going outside. Stay close and don't be afraid to use your parasite energy. It's not dangerous and I promise nothing will happen if you use it. Just make sure you aim okay?" Keith said, punching Hunter playfully.

Hunter nodded and just smiled, not really sure what to make of what Keith just said.

"Let's go!" Keith ordered.

All the dogs took their positions and were ready for anything, well as ready as they were going to be. Keith and Hunter went to the side door and froze; listening to the dogs outside. From what their ear translators could pick up the dogs were saying ‘They're in there! Get ready! Get to your positions!'

One of the dogs managed to spook the two Rovers by saying ‘Where's the executioner? Where's the ‘surprise' we have in store for our friends?'

"Executioner? Surprise?" Hunter said a little shaken.

Keith placed his paw on Hunter's shoulder and gave him a reassuring smile. All the fear melted away in Hunter when he saw that smile and he knew that he could do anything when Keith was with him.

You lift me up when I can't go on. And now I'm going to give you the same feeling.... Keith's word's echoed in Hunter's brain.

Hunter knew they would get through this like every other crazy situation they had been through, no matter what might ensue. Keith and Hunter burst through the doors with their guns waving around like crazy.

"GET THEM!" one of the dogs shouted.

The entire mob of a crowd rushed at them; a few of them being picked off by Blitz's covering fire from above. Hunter slammed the door behind him with his foot and began firing rapidly on the crowd; taking out a few of the maniac dogs in the process. Keith was unloading his shout gun on the crowd; the burst fire taking out many of the canines in the process. The crowd just kept coming and so the dogs began running away to create some space.

"Where the fuck are they all coming from?!" Hunter shouted, reloading his handgun.

"I don't know, but it sure looks like they aren't going to let up anytime soon. Keep running!" Keith replied, still firing.

The yard they were in was not very big considering almost half of it was filled with those dogs. Space was becoming very tight, and soon they would be surrounded.

"JESUS!" Hunter shouted, being grabbed from behind.

Hunter was caught in the strong grip of a chocolate lab who was laughing menacingly.

"Ahh! NNNgh!" Hunter grunted trying to get free.

Several of the dogs were beginning to crowd around Hunter; ready to beat up on him. Hunter kicked a few of the dogs away, but one of them grabbed his legs. Hunter was completely restrained and at the mercy of the demon dogs.

What do I do?! What do I do?! Help me Keith! No! I have to get out of this on my own!

SPLAT! CRUNCH!

Three of the dogs' heads exploded and the crowd dispersed, giving Hunter the opportunity to get up.

"You okay?" Blitz radioed.

"Yeah thanks!" Hunter replied giving Blitz a thumbs up.

Hunter looked around for Keith and was flabbergasted at what he saw. Keith was using his parasite energy to create some sort of sweeping fire to take out a majority of the dogs, along with some projectile fireballs to pick off some of the targets that were farther away.

Amazing! I wonder what kind of powers I have? Hunter thought.

Hunter saw more of the dogs were coming at him and what better time to test out his powers?

Let's see If I can use inferno....

"INFERNO!" Hunter shouted, focusing his energy into his left paw and waving it. Hunter felt an intense rush of energy flow through him and the energy was released; except not in the form Hunter wanted. Instead the dogs were encased in a huge pillar of ice which shattered instantly; killing all the dogs in the process.

Keith saw this and radioed "Wow Hunter! Good work! It looks like your primary element is ice. Your other powers will develop eventually but for now keep using them. The more you use them the more you will evolve." Hunter nodded and decided to experiment some more.

"Ice needles!" Hunter shouted.

A bunch of projectile ice needles emanated from Hunter's paw, impaling a number of the dogs rushing towards him. Hunter felt a little dizzy after using so much energy, so he decided to let himself recharge for a bit.

Looks like I'm not as developed as Keith. I got to take it slow.

Hunter ran around the crowd to join Keith in his struggles; receiving a slap on the butt as a greeting.

"Good work buddy! Never knew you had it in you."

"Yeah, but do you always feel tired after releasing energy?" Hunter asked, shooting a few dogs in the process.

"A little. Just make sure you take it in moderation." Keith explained. "LET'S GO!"

Keith and Hunter were holding there own quite well thanks to their powers and parasite energy and also thanks to Blitz's covering fire. However Keith knew their ammo and energy were limited, so he radioed Exile to see what was taking so long.

"Exile! Are you almost ready with that vehicle!" Keith asked, round-housing some dogs away.

"Sorry comrade! I'm hurrying as fast as I can!" Exile replied.

"Blitz, how many more of these things are there?!" Keith shouted, blowing off one of the dog's heads with his shotgun.

"There's a shit load of them. They just keep coming!" Blitz replied. "KEITH! HUNTER! YOU GOT SOME MAJOR TROUBLE COMING OUR WAY!"

"What?!" Hunter and Keith said in unison.

RRRRRRRRR! RNNNRRNNNNNNN!"

"OH SHIT!" Hunter and Keith shouted.

One of the dogs was tearing through the crowd with a bloody chainsaw; heading right for the two Rovers.

"RUN!" Keith shouted. Hunter obliged and they both ran through the mob away from the crazed dog with the chainsaw.

"Blitz! Take him out!" Keith shouted, blowing away three black labs with his shotgun.

"He's moving too fast! I can't even draw a bead on him! I'll keep trying." Blitz radioed.

"What now?" Hunter exclaimed, reloading his machine gun.

"Run and shoot! Try and at least stun the bastard!" Keith replied.

Keith and Hunter turned and fired as fast as they could on the maniac, attempting to at least bring him down for a brief second. The chainsaw maniac seemed to be impervious to bullets as he drew closer and closer without slowing down. The other resident dogs were quickly surrounding them as well, and it was becoming too tight to fight back effectively.

Exile! HURRY THE FUCK UP! Keith thought.

"GAHHHHH!" Keith screamed in intense pain.

The chainsaw dog had grazed Keith's back slightly and he was bleeding like crazy. Keith fell prostrate on the ground and attempted to roll over to at least get some shots in. Several of the dogs were already stomping and beating on him mercilessly, making Keith completely unable to fight back. The chainsaw dog loomed over him ominously and began laughing like a maniac. Keith was too scared and in too much pain to do anything. He couldn't use his powers or fight back. He was done.

Damn it. So much for being a hero. Is this really the end? Keith thought. If so....at least I met you...

"KEITH!"Hunter shouted, attempting to get some shots in to draw the crowd away. No effect.

What do I do?! Hunter thought.

Hunter felt his body get warm and his body seemed to glow white.

Am I evolving? Hunter thought.

Suddenly new powers seemed to awaken within Hunter and he instantly knew how to use them.

"EXTINCTION!" Hunter shouted, focusing his energy.

The dogs surrounding Keith were engulfed in a huge purple light that encased them in a cell like structure, lifting them off the ground into the sky. Waves of energy entered the cell quickly and the cell began to break off into ting fragments; causing a massive explosion in the process. Fragments of the dogs remains floated to the ground, and Keith was stunned in amazement at what just happened.

Never seen that power before. I can't even do that! He is truly a different breed than I am... Keith thought, pulling himself up.

Hunter just looked on in amazement at what he just did and nearly fell over in the process.

Did I just do that? Am I that powerful? Hunter thought.

At this rate.....will I become like my mother? NO! No, Keith said nothing will happen.

"Hunter!" Keith shouted, staggering over to him.

"Keith! Are you okay?" Hunter said, taking him into his arms.

"Yeah...." Keith replied weakly.

"Here...." Hunter replied, focusing his energy.

Keith's wounds were healed instantly and Keith stood up.

"Thanks....." Keith began, interrupted by the shouting of the remaining dogs.

"Bring out the big guy!" one of the dogs shouted.

"Big guy?" Hunter thought aloud.

STOMP! BOOM!

"What the?!" all the Rovers said over the radio. A gigantic muscular dog stepped into the area, roaring loudly. The roar shook the area, and Hunter nearly fell over. The giant was like the Doberman Keith and Hunter faced previously; except this one was a lot bigger and aggressive.

"Exile! Where are you with..." Keith began.

CRASH! Exile burst through the wall in the jeep, running over a few of the dogs.

"HURRY!" Blitz and Exile shouted from the jeep. Keith and Hunter climbed on the back of the truck where the turrets were, and they revved them up.

"Step on it Exile!" Keith shouted.

Exile put the pedal to the metal, and the jeep took off through the mob of dogs. Exile swung around the giant and through the gate; causing the gate fall over with a heavy thud. All the dogs breathed a sigh of relief, but was quickly taken back when they saw the giant dog running after them.

"Exile! Navigate the best you can and get us the fuck out of town! Hunter fire on the thing with me!" Keith shouted, warming up the turret.

"Roger!" the dogs replied. Hunter and Keith pulled down the triggers and began tearing through the creature, making it slow down slightly.

"Making a left turn! Hold on!" Exile shouted.

The vehicle made a hard left and the dogs held on for dear life. Hunter and Keith readjusted their aim, proceeding to slow down the creature. The vehicle sped through the shanty town's various stands and buildings, the moonlight casting an eerie glow over the area.

"This thing won't go down!" Hunter shouted, letting go of the trigger to let the turret cool.

"Keep firing! We're almost out!" Keith replied.

CRASH! BANG!

"Comrade?! What's going on?!" Exile shouted.

The giant dog was throwing various objects at them; barely missing the truck.

"Projectiles!" Hunter shouted. "Exile navigate accordingly!"

Exile swerved to avoid the projectiles, and made a hard right at an intersection to make an attempt to lose the monster. The monster had an unusually high endurance level and stayed hot on the dog's heels.

"Damn it! We have to shake this thing somehow!" Exile shouted.

"Hunter aim for the eyes!" Keith ordered.

Hunter nodded and the dogs adjusted their aim accordingly, quickly blinding the creature. The dog cried out in intense pain and fell with a heavy thud on the ground; shaking the area in the process.

"We did it!" Keith proclaimed, giving a thumbs up to everyone.

"Phew! Nice work comrades!" Exile praised, slowing down the truck.

Keith and Hunter were panting slightly from all the adrenaline that previously flowed through their body, and they just smiled at each other. Hunter climbed up on top with Keith and spoke up.

"Exile, where are we going?"

"No idea. I'm just driving! Any suggestions anyone?" Exile asked.

"I have one...." a voice came over the radio.

"Huh?!" all the dogs exclaimed.

"The Groomer?!" Blitz said.

"I see you have a nasty habit of surviving my traps. As annoyed as I am with you, I am going to give you a reward anyway," she said in a gut wrenching tone.

"What could you possibly give us?!" Keith hissed.

"Why the coordinates to our base of course! I would think you would be more grateful to me." she oozed.

"You...." Blitz began.

Exile put a paw on his shoulder and just shook his head.

"Ok, send them to us." Hunter said.

"They're enroute to your GPS system. Just be warned there is nothing here to throw your life away for. *pshht*" she finished.

Suddenly directions were loaded into the GPS and they were being directed toward their destination.

"Where is it?" Hunter asked.

"Past the marshlands and an oil field, and then into a cave." Exile explained.

"A cave?" Keith asked. "Looks like you were right Blitz, it was underground."

"Yeah, but I got a feeling getting in is not going to be easy. Who knows what that bitch has got in store for us?" Blitz replied.

"Were wasting time. Let's get going." Exile interrupted, making another right and out of the city. Keith and Hunter looked back at the city and just shook their heads in pity.

All those people and dogs, their lives taken in an instant. Parvo won't win.

Keith and Hunter clutched each others paws tightly, watching the moonlight safari unfold before them.
