"Time, Times and Half a Time" FADE IN EXTERIOR: LONDON ENGLAND - SKYLINE It is midday in the heart of the city. Off in the distance Big Ben can be seen and heard as it chimes away. Cars move two and fro, people are walking and on bicycles moving here and there. EXTERIOR: LONDON ENGLAND - BUSINESS DISTRICT There are many factories and warehouses here. The area is in fairly good condition. One of the larger buildings has a large sign on it that reads: "CW Enterprises". All the windows on the building are boarded up and the large vehicle entrance door is secured by many padlocks. A side door has been forced open. A large mini van is parked here. It is in the shape of a dog, has smoked glass windows and is brown with the red Road Rover symbol painted on the side. This is the Transport Rover INTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - MAIN ENTRANCE Everything has been stripped from the inside except the walls and ceiling. The area is dimly lit. Suddenly, Hunter crashes into one of the walls. He slides down to the floor into a sitting position. Hunter is a male Golden Retriever who is also a Cano-Sapien (has a muscular human body with a canine head, tails, fur, etc). He is dressed in his London uniform (which was used in "A Hair of the Dog That Bit You"): Green tee shirt, brown pants, black boots, black gloves and a belt with a belt buckle with a big "R" on it. He moans with pain. Hunter looks over to Colleen. She is a female Collie with brown fur and white highlights who is also a Cano-Sapien and dressed like Hunter. She is busy battling a Baddie. The Baddies are muscular humans who wear army fatigues. Several of these are laying unconscious around her. HUNTER (AMERICAN ACCENT, IN PAIN) I'm starting to have second thoughts about this plan. Colleen strikes the human with a powerful karate kick to the gut. He slumps over and falls to the floor, he curls up into a ball and moans to himself. He is out of commission. Colleen turns toward Hunter. COLLEEN (THICK BRITISH ACCENT, CONFUSED) Oy. But it was your plan to start with mate. The Baddie that threw Hunter into the wall now turns towards Colleen. He slowly moves towards her, she prepares for his attack. HUNTER (IN PAIN, SARCASTIC) That is what I don't like the most like about the plan. The Baddie and Colleen face each other. He throws a punch at her face but with perfect gracefulness she dodges the attack. At the same time she grabs the arm that the punch was thrown with. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) Oh don't be so hard on yourself Huntie Wontie. Hunter frowns at the nickname. Colleen spins around so her back is facing her attacker and his arm is over her shoulder. HUNTER (ANNOYED) How many times do I have to tell you? No nick names while were on a mission. I'm the leader of the Road Rovers. I have to project an image of respect and leadership. COLLEEN (SCREAMS) Geritolll!!! Using balance and leverage Colleen flips the Baddie over her and high into the air, he lands hard on his back on the floor. He screams with pain. He is out of action. Colleen turns and looks back to Hunter. COLLEEN (BLUNT) First of all. You know why we have to do this. To keep the bad guys busy while Exile and that Doberman. Colleen snaps her fingers as she thinks. COLLEEN (THINKING) Oh, what is his name. HUNTER (ANNOYED) Colleen. You know his name is Blitz. Colleen stops snapping her fingers, she smiles coyly. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) As you say. Colleen folds her arms. COLLEEN (BLUNT) And secondly, how can you expect any respect when the so called leader gets bested by the enemy while one of his troops comes out of it with out a scratch. Colleen smiles smugly at Hunter. Suddenly, a female Baddie swings down on a rope and crashes into the Cano-Sapien feet first. Colleen goes flying. She crashes into the wall next to Hunter, she falls to the floor in pain. Hunter looks over to her and smiles. HUNTER (SARCASTIC) You were saying Collie Wollie? COLLEEN (EMBARRASSED) Oh nothing Mister Hunter sir. More Baddies rush in and form behind the female Baddie. Colleen and Hunter crawl to their feet and notice this, they shake their heads. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) I'm beginning to agree with you. This plan sucks. The Baddies slowly begin to move towards Hunter and Colleen as they prepare to defend themselves. INTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - STORAGE ROOM This is a small room which has been stripped as well. There is only one exit and the door to it is missing. Blitz is here. He is a black male Doberman Cano-Sapien with tan highlights and is wearing the same type of clothes as Hunter. He is wrestling with a Baddie which shoves him away. Blitz points an angry finger at him. BLITZ (BROKEN GERMAN ACCENT, ANNOYED) Hey! It's not polite to push. The Baddie just looks at him and smiles. KNIFE BADDIE (ENGLISH ACCENT, SARCASTIC) Well squire. I'm about to show you another bad habit of mine. The Knife Baddie reaches down to one of his boots and pulls out a large sharp army knife, he points it toward Blitz who is shocked. KNIFE BADDIE (BLUNT) Pointing. Blitz yelps and the Knife Baddie chuckles. He lunches at the Cano-Sapien several times, but each time he just barely manages to dodge the knife. Blitz finds himself up against the wall with the Baddie before him, the doorway is on the other side of the room. Blitz glance at it. KNIFE BADDIE (SARCASTIC) It's time to put the doggie down. Blitz continues to glance towards the exit. This makes the Knife Baddie smile. KNIFE BADDIE (BLUNT) You'd never make it bow wow. Blitz looks back at the Knife Baddie who has raised the knife up high and aims the point down towards him, preparing to attack him. The Cano-Sapien gulps, takes a deep breath and leaps forward onto the Knife Baddie. The two tumble to the ground and wrestle for the knife, but the Knife Baddie remains in control of it. He kneels on top of Blitz, the knife over his head and pointed towards the Cano-Sapien's face. He grasps tightly to the Knife Baddies wrists. The human looks down at the frighten Blitz and smiles. KNIFE BADDIE (SARCASTIC) I hope you enjoyed the workout. Because it is your last. The Knife Baddie pushes down on the knife and it begins to slowly move towards Blitz's face. The dog tries to push it away but the human has the leverage. With the knife only inches away from Blitz's skull and continually moving closer, Blitz begins to cry. BLITZ (CRYING) I want to go walkies! KNIFE BADDIE (SARCASTIC) You will no long have such desires.. Me and my nice shinny and pointy knife will take care of that. As soon as the words "shinny and pointy" leave his mouth, Blitz stops crying. A new confidence comes over him just as the knife is about to touch his face. The dog opens his mouth wide and lean his head up. Using his super powerful and sharp teeth, he bites the knife in two. Shocked, the Knife Baddie springs back erect. He looks at the handle of his broken knife in awe. KNIFE BADDIE (SHOCKED) You broke my blooming knife. How did you do that? Blitz look at the Knife Baddie and smiles to expose his large, pointy and shinny teeth. BLITZ (PROUD) With my super sharp and super pointy teeth. The Knife Baddie looks down at Blitz, still shocked. KNIFE BADDIE (CONFUSED) If you could have done that all long why did you wait till the last minute to use them? Blitz loses his smile, he searches for something to say. BLITZ (STUMBLING) Er, um, I was. I was preoccupied. The Knife Baddie regains his composure. KNIFE BADDIE (BLUNT) In other words you were too busy being scared. BLITZ (DEFENSIVE) I was not scare! No way! I never get scared! A smile cracks on the Knife Baddie. He tosses the handle of the knife to one side. KNIFE BADDIE (SMUG) Either way it won't matter. It's lights out for you puppy. The Knife Baddie draws his arm back and makes a fist, he prepares to deck Blitz. But calmness returns to the dog, he smiles. BLITZ (SLY) It should be you who is the one that is scared. The Knife Baddie pauses. KNIFE BADDIE (SMUG) It will take more than a few pointed teeth to shake this old bloke. BLITZ (BLUNT) How about this. Blitz raises his paws, super long and sharp claws protrude out. The Knife Baddie's mouth drops open as he drops his arm, his eyes fixate on the shinny claws. KNIFE BADDIE (BLUNT) Oh. Those would do it. Blitz growls at the Knife Baddie, his shock turns to horror. He jumps to his feet and so does Blitz. BLITZ (PLEASED) Now is the time for the biting of tender hind ends. The Knife Baddie screams and turns towards the exit. But before he can run, Blitz bites him on his butt. The man screams louder as the dog rips the seat of his pants off. The Knife Baddie runs towards the door, his underwear can be seen through the rip in his pants. He runs from the room in terror. Blitz looks towards the doorway and smiles, a hunk of the Baddie's pants still between his teeth. Exile appears at the door. Exile is a male Cano-Sapien Siberian Husky with white highlights who is dressed like Blitz. The Husky looks at him, shakes his head and throws his arms up in the air. EXILE (THICK RUSSIAN ACCENT, ANNOYED) What is with you Blitz? Do you have to be a weird boy on every mission? Blitz gives Exile an odd look, then tries to talk. But the cloth still in his mouth mumbles his speech. Exile rolls his eyes. The Doberman spits out the remains of the britches. BLITZ (DEFENSIVE) I wasn't being a weird boy! Honest Exile! EXILE (ANNOYED) Then explain to me while I'm searching this entire place for comrade I find you here playing with the enemy. BLITZ (EXCITED) Playing? He almost killed me! EXILE (ANNOYED) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tell it to someone you believesski. BLITZ (EXCITED) It is the truth! I swear! Exile points an angry finger at Blitz. EXILE (ANNOYED) Admit weird boy. You have uncontrollable fixation of rumpskis. Blitz does not defend himself. EXILE (ANNOYED) When we get back I'm admitting you into Betty Ford. Blitz opens his mouth to speak, but Exile has already turned away from him. EXILE (ANNOYED) Come on rumpski lover, we have a mission to complete. Exile leaves the room. Blitz sighs, hangs his head low and reluctantly follows. INTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - CORRIDOR This is dark a barren hallway, it has been striped like the rest of the rooms. Exile is storming down the hall. Looking forward and very determined. Blitz catches up to him. BLITZ (CONFUSED) Where are you going? Colleen and Hunter are that way. Blitz point back towards the way they came. Exile does not look at him but continues on. EXILE (BLUNT) But the Eliminator is this way. Blitz lowers his hand. BLITZ (EXCITED) Are you crazy? From what I've heard the Eliminator is one bad human! Very bad! EXILE (BLUNT) Well so are the Road Rovers. BLITZ (EXCITED) But the Eliminator has never been beaten! EXILE (BLUNT) That is about to change. BLITZ (EXCITED) But the Eliminator never fails! We don't stand a chance! Exile stops but doesn't look at Blitz. EXILE (BLUNT) I can not comment on that. All I know is that the Eliminator is planning to kill the British Prime Minister and it is our job to make sure this doesn't happen. BLITZ (EXCITED) But it is suicide! Exile turns towards Blitz. EXILE (BLUNT) A Road Rover fights for what is right no matter what the odds. I am a Road Rover. What are you? Blitz pauses and thinks. BLITZ (CAUTIOUS) Look. It's not that I'm a fraidy dog or anything. It is just that I think we'd have a better chance if Colleen and Hunter were with is. EXILE (BLUNT) And if you did that all of the Eliminator's goons would also join us. It's Hunter and Colleen's job to keep them out of our fur. It is our job to stop the Eliminator. Blitz think for a moment. BLITZ (FRUSTRATED) Ya. Of course you are right. I am Road Rover. A smile forms on Exile's face. EXILE (HONEST) If it makes you feel any better, I'm scared too comrade. BLITZ (BLUNT) Actually,. It doesn't. Exile loses his smile. He turns and begins marching down the corridor, more determined than ever. Blitz pauses, turns and catches up with him. BLITZ (DESPERATE) I know. I've got an idea. Let's go back and get Muzzle and Shag. They can help us take on the Eliminator. EXILE (BLUNT) You are forgetting that they are busy guarding the Transport Rover. Blitz continues to think. BLITZ (DESPERATE) Hey. That's an even better idea. I could guard the Transport Rover while they come and join you. Exile rolls his eyes. EXILE (MUTTERS) What a Rumpski. Exile continues to march down the hallway to Blitz's disappointment. EXTERIOR: BUSINESS DISTRICT - TRANSPORT ROVER Through the windows in the back of the vehicle Shag and Muzzle can be seen. Shag is a male Sheepdog who is also a Cano-Sapien (but looks more dog than human), he has white fur so thick that the only feature on his face that can be seen is his nose. While Muzzle is a male Rottweiler who is strapped to a hand cart in a strait jacket and has a metal muzzle over his face (he is NOT a Cano-Sapien, just a regular dog), he is brown in color with tan highlighting. Both dogs are twisting and jerking as if they were going through convulsions. INTERIOR: TRANSPORT ROVER - REAR As it turns out Shag and Muzzle are really dancing and singing to the tune of "Bottle of beer of the wall", but both dogs speech patterns are that of grunts, whimpers and mumbles that make their speech unintelligible. As they continue to sing a, the words "38,280,043 bones in the bowl. 38,280,043 bones in the bowl. Pick one up. Eat it up. 38,280,042 bones in the bowl." appear along with a bouncing ball. They continue to sing. INTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - WORKSHOP This is a huge room that has been stripped like the rest, but has several exits. In the center of the room is a huge metal cylinder that takes up most of the room, it has one entrance. The nose of a large missile sticks out the top of the large cylinder. Many wires and cables lead out of the cylinder and lead to a computer terminal and keyboard near it. An average human dresses in black fatigues is working the terminal and has their back to us. Blitz and Exile peer into the room through one of the doorways, they look around and quickly spot the human. Blitz points at them. BLITZ (WHISPER, FRIGHTEN) That is the Eliminator. Blitz lowers his arm as Exile looks the human computer operator over. EXILE (WHISPERS, CONFUSED) How do you know? You can't see face. BLITZ (WHISPERS, FRIGHTEN) The way they are dressed. It's the Eliminator's trademark. Exile look at Blitz. EXILE (WHISPERS, CONFUSED) Maybe it is just someone dressed like the Eliminator. Blitz quickly looks at Exile. BLITZ (WHISPERS, TENSE) Are you crazy? No one would dare even consider dressing like the Eliminator. Exile looks back into the room. EXILE (WHISPERS, BLUNT) Well. If that person IS the Eliminator we now have an idea on how they intends to dispose of the Prime Minister. Exile point to the nose of the rocket. BLITZ (WHISPERS, DESPERATE) Good. Well our work is done here. Let's go. Blitz quickly turns and begins to leave, but Exile grabs him by the collar and he comes to a halt. Exile pulls Blitz close so they are face to face. EXILE (WHISPERS, BLUNT) Need I remind you that our mission is to also stop the Eliminator from killing the Prime Minister? BLITZ (WHISPERS, DISAPPOINTED) I would prefer you didn't. EXILE (WHISPERS, SARCASTIC) I'm glad we are in agreement. Exile lets go of Blitz and turns back towards the room. Reluctantly, Blitz does the same. EXILE (WHISPERS, THINKING) What we need is a diversion so we can take out that missile. But what? Exile and Blitz think. Blitz snaps his fingers and smiles. BLITZ (WHISPERS, EXCITED) I got it. EXILE (BLUNT) This had better not deal anything with you fleeing like a chicken running from Col. Sanders. Blitz loses his smile. BLITZ (WHISPERS, DISAPPOINTED) Oh. Never mind. A smile forms on Exile's lips. EXILE (WHISPERS, PLEASED) I have stormy brain. BLITZ (WHISPERS, UNSURE) What? Exile points at the cylinder. EXILE (WHISPERS, PLEASED) That. Blitz looks the cylinder over. BLITZ (WHISPERS, CONFUSED) What? EXILE (WHISPERS, SLY) You tell me you don't see it? Blitz focuses on the cylinder and takes a step forward. BLITZ (WHISPERS, CONFUSED) See what? EXILE (WHISPERS, SARCASTIC) This. Exile shoves Blitz and he stumbles into the room. He quickly turns back towards Exile. BLITZ (WHISPERS, CONFUSED) What are you doing? EXILE (WHISPERS, SARCASTIC) Getting you into position. You are diversion. BLITZ (WHISPERS, CONFUSED) Me?. No way. EXILE (WHISPERS, BLUNT) Are you telling me you are too SCARED? BLITZ (WHISPERS, BLUNT) I am not scared. No way. EXILE (WHISPERS, BLUNT) Then prove it to me. Keep the Eliminator busy while I deal with the missile. BLITZ (WHISPERS, BLUNT) I'm not stupid either. You can't trick me. You're trying to shame me into it. But it isn't going to work. Nothing you say or do will change my mind. Blitz crosses his arms and looks away. Exile pauses. EXILE (WHISPER, BLUNT) But just think how impressed the other Rovers would be when they learn you took on the Eliminator. Blitz closes his eyes. BLITZ (WHISPERS, BLUNT) Big deal. Like I care. EXILE (WHISPERS, SLY) Especially Colleen. Blitz's eyes spring open. BLITZ (WHISPERS, PLEASED) Yes. She would be. EXILE (WHISPERS, SLY) Maybe even enough to actually talk to you. Blitz looks at Exile. BLITZ (WHISPERS, PLEASED) Yes. EXILE (WHISPERS, CAUTIOUS) What do you say? Blitz unfolds his arms. BLITZ (WHISPERS, BLUNT) Even though this will be perhaps the stupidest thing I've ever done. I'll do it. Blitz takes a deep breath, turns around and marches towards the Eliminator. Exile ducks back into the doorway and hides in the shadows. Blitz stops behind the human. BLITZ (SARCASTIC) Yoo hoo. Bad girlie human. The human slowly turns to Blitz. The Eliminator is a short slender female who is wearing a holster with a gun and has a small mole on her left cheek.. She smiles at him. Blitz's mouth drops open and he points at her. BLITZ (SHOCKED) You. You ARE a girlie human. ELIMINATOR (AMERICAN ACCENT, BLUNT) The correct term is woman. Blitz lowers his hand and regains his composure. BLITZ (BLUNT) Or Eliminator. The Eliminator nods. ELIMINATOR (HONEST) I was wondering when you Road Rovers would show up. BLITZ (DEFIANT) Well you don't have to wait any longer. I'm here to stop you. ELIMINATOR (SARCASTIC) I don't think so. The Eliminator grabs her pistol. BLITZ (STERN) I wouldn't do that if I were you. The Eliminator ignores Blitz's threat. She draws her weapon but before she can point it at him he slaps her hand, the gun falls to the floor. ELIMINATOR (ANNOYED) That wasn't very nice. Blitz smiles. BLITZ (BLUNT) So sue me. The Eliminator looks down to her weapon. BLITZ (WARNING) Don't even think about it. The Eliminator ignores Blitz and bends down towards the gun. The dog extends his super sharp claws, the woman notices this and hesitates. BLITZ (STERN) You wouldn't want me to use these. The Eliminator looks up to Blitz, still smiling. She chuckles and reaches down for the gun with her right hand. BLITZ (BLUNT) You asked for it. As the Eliminator grabs the gun Blitz slashes down with his razor sharp claws. She quickly raises her left arm to block the Rover's attack. The claws come in contact with the Eliminator's forearms, there is a loud sound of claws striking metal. She shows no sign of pain. As Blitz pulls his claws from her he rips part of her fatigues away, exposing a protective metal shielding around her forearm. Blitz is shocked. She points the gun at the Rover. ELIMINATOR (SARCASTIC) I hope you won't take this the wrong way when I say back off. Blitz, still in shock, looks at the gun. He gulps hard, steps back a few feet and retracts his claws. The Eliminator stands back up and faces Blitz. ELIMINATOR (SARCASTIC) You had your chance. Now it is my turn. The Eliminator points her gun at Blitz's head. The Rover falls to his knees and begins to cry. BLITZ (PLEADING) Please don't kill me! I'm too young and much too handsome to die! ELIMINATOR (STERN) Sorry. But no one messes with the Eliminator. And lives. The Eliminator pulls back on the hammer of the pistol. BLITZ (DESPERATE) Can't we just talk this over? ELIMINATOR (BLUNT) Now what would we talk about? BLITZ (DESPERATE) Well. You're an evil villainess. They usually love to boast about their evil and diabolical plans. The Eliminator thinks for a moment. ELIMINATOR (BLUNT) Hmmm. You've got me there. The Eliminator eases off on the hammer of the gun, Blitz sighs with relief. ELIMINATOR (PROUD) My plan is quite simple. With all the security around the Prime Minister there would be no way I could off him face to face. The Eliminator thumbs over her shoulder with her free hand at the cylinder. ELIMINATOR (PROUD) But thanks to my new toy here I don't need to. The Eliminator lowers her hand. ELIMINATOR (PROUD) Right at this very moment at Heathrow the plane that the Prime Minster is on is about to takeoff. But unknown to him or any of his security people, a small sample of radioactive material has been smuggled aboard his plane. The material is so small and has such a low grade of radioactivity you could only detect it if you were specifically looking for it. Fortunately, that is what my toy has been calibrated to home in on. Once the plane takes off the missile will launch, home in on the plane and blam. No more Prime Minister. BLITZ (CONFUSED) But what do you have against the Prime Minister? ELIMINATOR (HONEST) Nothing actually. But since I'm getting paid 200 million to off him. I'm all for it. BLITZ (SHOCKED) You kill people for money? That's sick. ELIMINATOR (SARCASTIC) I'd love to swap moral values all day, but I've got work to do. So. The Eliminator pulls back on the hammer of the gun again. BLITZ (DESPERATE) Wait! I have a question! The Eliminator hesitates, then eases off the hammer again. ELIMINATOR (ANNOYED) What? BLITZ (DESPERATE) Can you use the computer terminal to stop the launch? ELIMINATOR (PROUD) Nothing can stop the launch. Before you showed up I programmed the missile and locked it in. Even I can't reprogram it. It will launch. Exile, still hiding in the shadows, now slowly creeps out and moves towards the cylinder. ELIMINATOR (BLUNT) Since your curiosity has been satisfied. Now can I kill you? Exile sneaks into the cylinder. Blitz notices and smiles, he gets back on his feet. BLITZ (SMUG) I'm sorry to report evil girlie bad person that your little plan is about to back fire. ELIMINATOR (SLY) Oh. If you're talking about your friend that just went into the missile silo you can forget it. BLITZ (SHOCKED) What? But how did you know? ELIMINATOR (SARCASTIC) Hey I didn't become the Eliminator by being stupid. BLITZ (CONFUSED) But why did you allow him to get at your missile? ELIMINATOR (SMUG) Because I am extremely mean. His hopes will be dashed just like yours when he learns that the missile is unstoppable. Blitz doesn't know what to say, the Eliminator just smiles. INTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - MISSILE SILO The cylinder has very little in it. A large missile pointing upwards with many wires and cables leading from it and under the cylinder. Exile is here looking the missile over, impressed. EXILE (IMPRESSED) Some people get all the really neat toys. Exile quickly rushes up to the missile and begins to search it. ELIMINATOR (VOICE OVER, PROUD) If your friend tries to look for an access panel so he can short out the missile he will just be a wasting his time. There are none. EXILE (ANNOYED) Bolshoi! Exile's eyes glow bright red and a steady laser beam fires from both eyes and hits the missile. ELIMINATOR (VOICE OVER, PROUD) And if he tries to cut into it, he will be disappointed again. The casing is made of a super touch alloys that even a laser beam can't penetrate. After Exile notices that his efforts are in vain, the lasers stop and his eyes return to normal. EXILE (ANNOYED) Double bulshoi! He pauses and ponders his next move. INTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - WORKSHOP It is as it was before. ELIMINATOR (SMUG) So you see. You will have died for nothing. Speaking of which. The Eliminator pulls back on the hammer of the gun again. BLITZ (DESPERATE) Please! I have one more question! ELIMINATOR (ANNOYED) No more questions. It is time. Blitz trembles with fear. As the Eliminator takes careful aim a bright flash of white flashes from the top and exit of the cylinder. Exile steps out and walks towards the Eliminator. EXILE (SMUG) Excuse me. The Eliminator quickly turns, she points her gun between Exile and Blitz. Exile joins his friend. EXILE (SMUG) I don't mean to interrupt. But your missile thingy seams to be on the frizz. ELIMINATOR (SMUG) Impossible. Nothing can stop it. EXILE (SLY) This would probably be true if it was able to launch. But it isn't going to be able to leave the ground. An alarm begins to sound from the computer terminal. The Eliminator smiles. ELIMINATOR (SMUG) We'll soon see about that. The Prime Minister's plane has just taken off. There is a loud sound of a rocket engine and smoke bellows out of the exit doorway to the cylinder. But the rocket doesn't move. The Eliminator notices this. ELIMINATOR (CONFUSED) What did you do to my missile? EXILE (SARCASTIC) I gave it a cold foot. I froze it to the floor with my cold vision. The Eliminator's eyes widen and she drops her gun. She gasps, turns and dashes for one of the exits. EXILE (SARCASTIC) It is useless to run. It is all over for you wicked lady person. BLITZ (SMUG) Ya! Come back here and I'll bite your tooshie off! The Eliminator stops next to an exit and turns back towards the Rovers. ELIMINATOR (FRANTIC) Fools! The missile's engine is air cooled. If it isn't allowed to take off it will overheat and explode! Exile's mouth drops open. Blitz yelps, turns and dashes for another exit. The Eliminator turns and dashes through her exit. Exile prepares to pursue her. Blitz stops by the exit he entered the room from, turns and looks towards Exile. BLITZ (EXCITED) Come on Exile! Let's get out of here before this entire room explodes! Exile looks between the exit that the Eliminator fled through and Blitz. EXILE (EXCITED) Triple Bulloid! Exile turns towards Blitz and begins to run towards him. Blitz turns and dashes through the exit. INTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - MISSILE SILO The missile is frozen to the walls by a large block of ice. Flames fire from out the bottom of the rocket, melting some of the ice. After a few seconds the rocket explodes. INTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - WORKSHOP The cylinder explodes and engulfs the room in flames. EXTERIOR: LONDON ENGLAND - BUSINESS DISTRICT The center of the roof of CW ENTERPRISES explodes, throwing debris high into the air. INTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - CORRIDOR Exile is running like mad down the hallway. The explosion of the missile rocks the entire building. The Rover stumbles and falls. He looks back down the hall. To his horror he spots a wall of fire racing down it rapidly towards him. Exile's mouth drops open, he is too horrified to move. As the fire is about to engulf him, Blitz appears in a doorway next to him. He grabs Exile and hauls him out of the hall just in the nick of time. INTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - OFFICE This is a small stripped room that has nothing. Blitz and Exile are plastered against the walls on either side of the doorway. The flames in the hall swooshes by, some flash into the room but bypass the Rovers. Once the flames have passed they both sigh with relief. Blitz turns towards Exile and vise versa. EXILE (THANKFUL) Thanks for saving me back their Blitz. I guess your not such a weird boy after all. BLITZ (SMUG) Ya. I saved you toocus back there. Exile slaps his hand over his eyes. EXILE (FRUSTRATED) Again with the references to the rear area. Exile removes his hand from his face. EXILE (FRUSTRATED) Don't you ever give it a restski? BLITZ (PROUD) Where ever there is a tooshie to bite. I'll be there. Where ever there is a toocus to chew I'll be there. Where ever there is a posterior to chomp I'll be there. Where ever there is a to- EXILE (INTERRUPTING, FRUSTRATED) Please! Anymore and I'LL be the one who needs analysis! BLITZ (BLUNT) What do you want from me? I'm a Doberman. I bite tooshies. EXILE (FRUSTRATED) What I want is to get as far away from you as possible. Exile turns and storms out of the room. Blitz shrugs his shoulders and follows. INTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - MAIN ENTRANCE A lot of Baddies are laying unconscious all over the place, only seven remain awake. They look pretty beat up, most of them are recovering from previous attacks. Hunter faces off with one while Colleen does the same with another. As Hunter's Baddie lunges at him Hunter deck him, he falls to the floor unconscious. Hunter looks around the room for any more Baddies, he spots the Eliminator running across the room for the exit. Hunter quickly turns towards Colleen. HUNTER (URGENT) The Eliminator is getting away. You think you can hold your own while I go after her? Colleen grabs her Baddie. COLLEEN (SCREAMS) Pepto Bismolll!!! Colleen flips the Baddie over her shoulder. He slams into the wall upside down and back first. He slides down to the floor and hits it heat first, knocking him out cold. She then turns towards Hunter and smiles. COLLEEN (SMUG) I can hold my own. And then some. Go off and play. Hunter turns back towards the fleeing Eliminator, she has just reached the exit on the far side of the room. Hunter smiles. HUNTER (URGENT) I'll be back shortly. Hunter races away at super speed, quicker than the eye can see. He is so fast that he leaves a flaming trail behind him. Colleen waves at Hunter. COLLEEN (HONEST) No rush. I'm having the time of my life here. Colleen turns back to the conscious Baddies. COLLEEN (SMUG) Okay. Who is next? The five Baddies rush Colleen, they push her down and they overwhelm her. INTERIOR: MAIN ENTRANCE - EXIT In a corner of the large room is a small door which has been kicked in. The Eliminator is running for it and is just about to pass through it. Hunter races up at super speed and stops in the doorway, facing her and blocking her way. She stops in her tracks and is shocked. HUNTER (SARCASTIC) Going somewhere? The Eliminator recovers. ELIMINATOR (STERN) Get out of my way. Dog. HUNTER (SARCASTIC) Now is that anyway to treat an uninvited guest? ELIMINATOR (WARNING) Get out of my way now or you'll be sorry. HUNTER (STERN) The fact is I'm taking you in. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. The choice is yours. The Eliminator's eyes narrow and she clinches her fists, Hunter does the same. They stare warily at each other. INTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - MAIN ENTRANCE Back with Colleen, four of the Baddies are grasping her limbs (they have her stretched in a spread eagle position off the floor). She struggling vainly to break free. The remaining Baddie is standing next to her and is holding a large pipe, sneering at her. COLLEEN (CONCERNED) Blimey. I knew being an internationally famous super heroine slash crime fighter would mean everyone would want a piece of me. But I never dreamed it would be like this. PIPE BADDIE (SIGHT ENGLISH ACCENT, BLUNT) A dog that talks. Cute. Colleen stops struggling and looks up to the Pipe welding Baddie, she smiles. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) Thanks mate. You're not so bad yourself. PIPE BADDIE (ANNOYED) And worst yet she thinks she has a clever wit. Colleen loses her smile. COLLEEN (BLUNT) I think I should take that as an insult. PIPE BADDIE (SARCASTIC) Here is something else you can take. The Pipe Baddie grabs his pipe with both hands, raises it over his head and prepares to strike Colleen in the head. She gasps and begins to struggle again, but like before it is futile. Just as he is about to hit her, Exile appears behind the Baddie. He grabs the pipe and lifts it high over his head, along with the Baddie since he is still hanging onto it and starts to whip him around. The Baddie screams in terror, the rest of the Baddies look towards the cries and Colleen stops struggling. The Baddie lets go and goes flying into a wall, knocking him unconscious on impact. Exile lowers the pipe and is joined by Blitz, they both look very sternly at the rest of the of the Baddie. EXILE (BLUNT) Now if you would be so kindly to release comrade Colleen. Colleen smiles but the Baddies recover from their initial shock. BADDIE (ENGLISH ACCENT, DEFIANT) Why should we? There are four of us and only two of you. Exile smiles. EXILE (BLUNT) Please. Allow us to demonstrate. Exile takes the pipe and bends in 180 degrees, all the Baddies eyes widen. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) So what you're offering is spine breaking fun. BLITZ (SARCASTIC) Ya. But that is not all. Blitz grabs the pipe from Exile's hands, he holds it up to his mouth and Blitz bits the metal in two. The Baddies gasp. Blitz drops the pipes to the floor. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) So you're offering spine breaking and bone crunching fun. EXILE (SARCASTIC) Da. Plus if you act now you can get some of this. Exile looks down at one of the bent pieces of pipes. His eyes grow red and lasers fire from them and strikes the pipe, the solid metal is instantly turned into liquid metal. All the Baddie's mouths drop open. The lasers stop and Exile's eyes returns to normal. He looks back at the Baddies. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) You're offering spine breaking, bone crunching and flesh burning fun. BLITZ (SARCASTIC) Plus, for absolutely free, we'll through is some of this. Blitz holds up his hands and his super sharp claws extend. The Baddies eyes and mouths open even wilder. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) Let me get this straight. You're saying they get all the spine breaking, bone crunching, flesh burning and vital organ slashing fun they would ever want? Exile and Blitz nod. Colleen looks around to all the Baddies. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) So what do you say gentlemen? How much would you be willing to pay for all of this? None of the Baddies respond. Colleen looks at the camera. COLLEEN (BLUNT) I hate it when they don't play along. EXILE (SARCASTIC) Fortunately, today's special price is absolutely free. Call the Road Rover Shopping Network now. Our operators are standing by. BLITZ (SARCASTIC) Now who wants to be first? The two Baddies holding Colleen's ankles lets go, she falls into a sitting position. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) Customers on deck. Blitz and Exile rush over to the free Baddies, they grab him them by the collars and lift them up into the air. They are terrified. EXILE (ANNOYED) You call yourself humans. Ganging up on female. BLITZ (STERN) Ya. You should all be ashamed. Colleen looks at Exile and Blitz. COLLEEN (TOUCHED) Wow. I didn't you cared. Exile looks over to Colleen. EXILE (BLUNT) Of course. You are Comrade. It is my pleasure. Colleen smiles. Blitz looks over to her. BLITZ (PLEASED) Especially one with such an adorable pooch tucas. Colleen loses her smile and looks at Blitz. COLLEEN (BLUNT) By the way. Who are you? Blitz looses his smile. BLITZ (ANNOYED) Come on. You know me. EXILE (SARCASTIC) Yeah. He's the weird one. COLLEEN (REMEMBERING) Ohhh. Right. Now I remember. Blitz looks at the camera. BLITZ (BLUNT) You'd figure she'd be kinder to someone who is about to rescue her. EXILE (SARCASTIC) Speaking of which. Exile and Blitz turn back to Colleen. But while they are distracted, the Baddie that is being held by Exile punches him. The Rover releases the Baddie and stumbles back. The Baddie jumps Exile and the two begin to wrestle. Blitz looks towards Exile and his Baddie follows suit. He deck Blitz who also stumbles back, the two begin a struggle. Colleen sighs. COLLEEN (BLUNT) Some rescue. The two Baddies that are holding Colleen's arms smile. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) Well. As my mum use to say. If you want something done right. Colleen twists his lower body upwards and locks her legs around one of the Baddie's necks. Both Baddies lose their smile. She then twists back down, he lets go of her as she flips him across the room. She then stands up and faces the remaining Baddie, he lets go of her. She grabs him by the collar, he is terrified. She cocks a fist of her free hand back. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) Okay. It's guys choice. Where do you want it? The Baddie just trembles. The Baddie that she flung recovers and jumps to his feet. He creeps towards Colleen who has her back to him. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) Multiple choice. In the face. In the gut. Or in the other place. The Baddie sneaking behind Colleen picks up the bent pipe and moves behind her. The Baddie that Colleen has a hold of notices this and his eyes widen. The Baddie with the pipe indicates for him to stay quiet. The eyes of the Baddie returns to normal and a smile forms on his face. COLLEEN (BLUNT) Well. Where do you want it lad? The Baddie behind Colleen raises the pipe over his head and prepares to club her. BADDIE (SARCASTIC) Right smack on the head. COLLEEN (PLEASED) Sure. That is doable. The Baddie which Colleen holds carefully watches the other Baddie, Colleen notices this. The Baddie swings the pipe down towards her. She releases the Baddie and ducks, the pipe hits him square in the head knocking him out. Shocked, the remaining Baddie jumps back. Colleen stands, turns and faces him. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) Didn't your mum ever teach you that it is rude to sneak up on someone? The Baddie regains control and smiles. He raises the pipe to strike Colleen. COLLEEN (SCREAMS) Maloxxx! Colleen give the Baddie a karate kick square in the chest, he goes flying. When he hits the ground the pipe flies from his hands. He struggles to his feet. She looks at him, smiles and rushes towards him. INTERIOR: MAIN ENTRANCE - EXIT Hunter and the Eliminator are still staring coldly at each other, ready to fight. She quickly softens and signs. ELIMINATOR (DISAPPOINTED) Okay. You win. I'll go quietly. The Eliminator holds her wrists together up to Hunter. ELIMINATOR (FRUSTRATED) Put the cuffs on me. HUNTER (SMUG) Smart move. Hunter smiles. He reaches out to the Eliminator. Suddenly, she quickly bends her right wrist. A small barrel pops out her sleeve and a cloud of gas fires into Hunter's face. He grabs his eyes and screams with pain, he falls to his knees. The Eliminator smiles. ELIMINATOR (SMUG) Dogs are so gullible. Hunter continues to cry with pain, he falls to the floor and begins to squirm still holding his eyes. The Eliminator is pleased by this. ELIMINATOR (SARCASTIC) Now this is what I call entertainment. Hunter continues to rive and scream. INTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - MAIN ENTRANCE Colleen sends her Baddie flying across the room. He tries to get up but collapses. Exile punches his Baddie, knocking him out. Blitz bits the butt of his. The Baddie screams, drops down into a sitting position and start scooting on his butt across the room. This pleases Blitz. BLITZ (SARCASTIC) I love the smell of bitten tooshie in the morning. Exile looks over to Blitz. EXILE (ANNOYED) Would you knock it off with that already! Blitz turns towards Exile, so does Colleen. Blitz opens his mouth to speak but the cries of Hunter fills the room. Colleen and Exile turn towards the Eliminator and Hunter. Blitz looks up into the air. BLITZ (ANNOYED) What is that awful noise? EXILE (CONCERNED) That sounds like Hunter. Colleen points towards the Eliminator. COLLEEN (EXCITED) And he's in trouble! Come on! Colleen races towards Hunter, Exile and Blitz follow. INTERIOR: MAIN ENTRANCE - EXIT The Eliminator continues to enjoy Hunter's torment. COLLEEN (OFF SCREEN, INFURIATED) Leave him alone! The Eliminator quickly turns towards the three Rovers, they are racing across the room and towards her. She looses her smile. ELIMINATOR (ANNOYED) Can't I every have any fun? The Eliminator turns towards the exit and dashes out through it. EXTERIOR: CW ENTERPRISES - MAIN ENTRANCE This is the outside of the door that was kicked in. As the Eliminator flees through the door she runs into Shag (literally), with him is Muzzle. She looks up to the towering dog with both shock and fear. But when she notices that he whimpering she relaxes. ELIMINATOR (RELIEVED) Whew. It's only the braveless one. Shag looks at the Eliminator, shocked. Muzzle growls at her and she looks over to him. She smiles. ELIMINATOR (SMUG) And the restrained one. No need to fear. The Eliminator looks back at Shag. ELIMINATOR (BLUNT) Out of my way. I've no time to dilly dally. Shag looks at her, confused. Muzzle continues to growl. ELIMINATOR (STERN) I said out of my way you wimpy flea infested carpet. Or I'll move your gutless carcass myself. The Eliminator stares coldly at Shag, he returns a look of hurt. ELIMINATOR (BLUNT) Okay. You asked for it. The Eliminator draw her fist back. INTERIOR: MAIN ENTRANCE - EXIT Hunter is still on the ground, holding his eyes and writhing in pain. Colleen is kneeling next to him and trying to pry his hands from his eye so she can get a look. Exile and Blitz stand next to her and look down with great concern. There is a loud smack of a fist hitting a face. The Eliminator comes flying through the doorway and lands at the feet of Exile and Blitz, she is in great shock. Equally shocked are Exile and Blitz who look down to her. Colleen ignores them and is still struggling with Hunter. Shag steps through the door along with Muzzle. She notices this and turns towards Shag. COLLEEN (URGENT) Quick Shag. The first aid kit. Shag notices Hunter's torment. He quickly reaches inside his fur, rummages around and pulls out a large metal box with a red cross on it. He quickly rushes over to Colleen and hands it to her. She places it on the ground and opens it. She pulls a small can with a spout out. She turns back to Hunter, Colleen manages to wedge the spout between the his hands and his face. She presses a button on the spout and a stream of a watery liquid sprays between and into his eyes. Instantly, his screaming and squirming decreases. She continues to spray his eyes. The Eliminator recovers and gets to his feet, she faces Exile and Blitz. She rubs her jaw. ELIMINATOR (SHOCKED) I guess I shouldn't have used the word gutless. Exile and Blitz just stare coldly at her, she notices this. ELIMINATOR (BLUNT) Let me guess. I can do this the easy way or the hard way. The choice is mine. Exile and Blitz both nod to her. ELIMINATOR (DISAPPOINTED) Okay. I'll go quietly. The Eliminator holds her wrists together up to Exile and Blitz, the barrel is still protruding from her sleeve. A sly smile comes from her. ELIMINATOR (FRUSTRATED) Put the cuffs on me. Blitz and Exile smile. They step forward and reach for Eliminator, but Exile loses his smile when he notices the barrel. As she snaps her wrist Exile grabs it and points it away from him and Blitz, the gas cloud fires away from them and floats harmlessly upward. Exile then spins her around and twists her arm behind her back. She tries to struggle free but it is pointless. EXILE (SARCASTIC) I do not wish to alarm you but you have a barrel sticking out of your sleeve. The Eliminator continues to vainly struggle. ELIMINATOR (FRUSTRATED) Let go of me! You can't do this! I'm the Eliminator! BLITZ (SARCASTIC) Book her Danno. The Eliminator tries one more futile attempt to break free. After it fails she stops fighting, hangs her head and sighs with disgust. This pleases both Blitz and Exile. EXTERIOR: LONDON ENGLAND - BUSINESS DISTRICT Police cars and paddy wagons are in front of the CW Building with there lights on. Police officers are scattered all over the place. Some are leading a hand cuffed group of Baddies towards one of the vehicles. There are also a few fire trucks here, smoke is rising out of the whole in the roof. INTERIOR: MAIN ENTRANCE - EXIT There are Police Officers in here too. They are rounding up the Baddies, hand cuffing them and herding them outside. Hunter is sitting on the floor, he can see again and is without pain. Colleen is kneeling next to him, she is shining a medical flashlight into his eyes as she examines them. Blitz, Exile, Muzzle and Shag are around them. All watch them and are very concerned, except Blitz. EXILE (CONCERNED) How is he Doctor Colleen? Colleen pulls the flash light away and smiles. COLLEEN (PLEASED) I'm pleased to report his pupils are back to normal. He should be fine. Exile, Shag and Muzzle sigh with relief. Colleen picks up the Eliminator's gas gun (she has been disarmed) next to her. COLLEEN (BLUNT) But to make sure I'm going to have this analyzed when we get back. Colleen places the weapon back on the floor. EXILE (PLEASED) This is wonderful news. BLITZ (LOW KEYED) Ya. Ya. Very nice. Colleen tweaks Hunter's cheek. COLLEEN (BABY TALK) And since you were so good I have a present for you. Exile, Shag and Muzzle are pleased. Hunter is surprised and Blitz is jealous. She turns off the flashlight and puts it in the first aid kit. Then she pulls out a lollipop, she hands it to Hunter. HUNTER (PLEASED) Ah. Cool. Hunter takes the sucker and places it in his mouth. HUNTER (SUCKING, PLEASED) Hmmm. Cherry. Yummy. Hunter continues sucking on it. BLITZ (JEALOUS) Hey. How come he gets a sucker? EXILE (BLUNT) Because Hunter was such a good patient. BLITZ (JEALOUS) I could be good patient. I want a sucker. I want a sucker. The Rovers ignore Blitz's demands. He begins to jump up and down and throw a fit. BLITZ (JEALOUS) I want a sucker! I want a sucker! Exile looks over to Blitz with disgust. EXILE (DISCUSSED) You are pathetic. Blitz continues to throw a tantrum. BLITZ (JEALOUS) Give me a sucker or I'll hold my breath. Exile turns back to Colleen, he places his hand on her shoulder. EXILE (URGENT) Please Colleen. Give him one. He is embarrassing us. Colleen rolls her eyes and sighs. COLLEEN (FRUSTRATED) Oh. All right. Blitz stops complaining and claps his hands. BLITZ (PLEASED) Goodie. Blitz calms down as Colleen begins to rummage through the first aid kit. COLLEEN (BLUNT) I have something better than a lollipop. Colleen pulls out a tiny bottle, she holds it up to Blitz. COLLEEN (BLUNT) A super yummy drink. Blitz quickly snatches it from Colleen's hands, he looks down at Hunter. BLITZ (SMUG) Nay. Nay. Colleen likes me better than you. Blitz sticks his tongue out at Hunter. He pays him no mind and continues to suck on his lollipop. Blitz pops the top off and downs the drink. But when he finishes an ill look comes over his face. BLITZ (ILL) That wasn't yummy. It was awful. Exile looks at Blitz. EXILE (CONFUSED) What was it? Blitz looks at the label on the bottle. His eyes grow bigger, he yelps and drops the bottle. His face turns green and he looks like he is going to throw up, he places his hand over his mouth. Blitz turns and dashes out the exit. Colleen chuckles. Hunter looks directly at her and pulls out his lollipop. HUNTER (BLUNT) What did you give him? COLLEEN (PLEASED) Caster Oil. Hunter shakes his head. HUNTER (STERN) Can't you two every play nice? Colleen just shakes her head. Three Officers lead the Eliminator, who is now in hand cuffs, over to the Rovers. They notice this. Hunter and Colleen jump to their feet, everyone faces the Eliminator. OFFICER (ENGLISH ACCENT, PLEASED) Well, we'll be taking the Eliminator in now. I just wanted to say thanks for catching her. EXILE (PLEASED) It was our pleasure. HUNTER (BLUNT) Just do us a favor. Make sure she gets locked up for a long long time. OFFICER (PLEASED) That I can promise. ELIMINATOR (DEFIANT) You talking mutts have not seen the last of me. Colleen yawns. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) Gee. Now there is a statement we have never heard before. EXILE (SARCASTIC) Especially from a baddie. ELIMINATOR (DEFIANT) I'm serious. I'll be back and in your fur in no time. HUNTER (BLUNT) Hey. I'm the one who does the predictions. The Rovers chuckle. ELIMINATOR (BLUNT) Go on. Laugh while you can. The Rovers laugh louder. ELIMINATOR (STERN) But mark my words. It will I who has the last laugh. The Rovers laugh even louder. The Eliminator looks away from them. ELIMINATOR (HURT) Come on. Get me away from these laughing hyenas. The Officers chuckle and escort the Eliminator out of the building. The Rovers settle down again. Hunter turns towards them. HUNTER (LOUD) To the power of the pack. Hunter and the other Rovers join him in a long howl. FADE OUT "Three month later." appears on the screen. After a few moments, "(that's 21 in dog months)" appears. All the words then fade away. FADE IN INTERIOR: CHURCH - CHAPEL This is the inside of a huge church. The pews are filled with all the good people from previous episodes. Two notable ones are Muzzle and Greta (a female version of Muzzle) who are sitting next to each other. Up in front of the church is the Master looking towards the back, he holds a Bible in his hand. Standing in front of him and facing the Master is Hunter, he is dressed in a tuxedo. The organ starts playing the Wedding March, everyone looks down the aisle towards the back. Colleen, in a wedding gown, appears. She is being escorted by Shag who is also in a tuxedo. They slowly walk down the aisle. Everyone admires Colleen's stunning beauty. When they reach the end, Colleen takes his place next to Hunter. They both look at each other and smile, then turn towards the Master. He address them and the rest of the congregation. MASTER (PLEASED) Dearly, beloved. We are gathered here today to join these dogs in holy matrimony. Colleen Frowns. COLLEEN (CAUTIOUS) Excuse me. But there has been some kind of mistake. MASTER (CONFUSED) What do you mean? COLLEEN (BLUNT) I'm not marrying him. Colleen thumbs towards Hunter. MASTER (CONFUSED) You're not? HUNTER (HURT) Why not? Colleen turns towards Hunter. COLLEEN (CAUTIOUS) No offense, but I can't marry someone who can never realize they are being insulted. HUNTER (CONFUSED) Really? I did not know that? SPORT (OFF SCREEN, DETERMINED) That is because she really loves me! Everyone turns to see Sport, a short brown haired Cano- Sapien, in a tuxedo marching up the aisle. They cry his name. He walks up to Colleen and Hunter steps away, Sport looks up to her. SPORT (SMUG) It's me you love, isn't baby. Colleen's mouth drops open. COLLEEN (CAUTIOUS) No offense, but you're a little short for me. Sport looks himself over, then looks up to Colleen. He smacks himself in the forehead SPORT (EMBARRASSED) You're right! Forget about what I said. HUBERT (OFF SCREEN, DETERMINED) Yeah. Step a side little dog! Everyone turns to see Hubert who is marching down the aisle, they cry his name. Hubert is a Bloodhound and Cano-Sapien (male) wearing glasses and a lab coat. He walks up to Colleen, Sport steps aside and joins Hunter. Hubert looks at Colleen. HUBERT (SMUG) You want a REAL dog. Don't you doll. Colleen is confused. COLLEEN (CAUTIOUS) Actually, you're a bit cerebral to spend the rest of my life with. Hubert pauses to think, them nods. HUBERT (EMBARRASSED) Hmmm. You're right. My mistake. There is a cry from Shag, everyone turns towards him as he marches up the aisle. Everyone cries his name. He walks up to Colleen and Hubert steps aside and joins Hunter and Sport. Shag looks down at Colleen. COLLEEN (CONFUSED) Not you too Shag. Shag nods. COLLEEN (CAUTIOUS) No offense. But I can't understand you half the time. Shag shrugs his shoulders. BEAR (OFF SCREEN, DETERMINED) Step aside Mop Boy! Everyone turns to see Bear marching up the aisle. Bear is a male Cano-Sapien of an Alaskan Malamute breed. His entire body is covered with black fur but the area around his face is white, with two white dots above his eyes. He is wearing a tuxedo. Everyone cries his name. He walks up to Shag, who steps to the side and joins the other rejectees. Bear looks at Colleen. BEAR (SMUG) You're looking for something hot a spicy. That's me honey. COLLEEN (HONEST) Actually, I can't come up with a single reason why not to marry you. BEAR (SMUG) I know. COLLEEN (CAUTIOUS) But I just know you're not the one. Bear, being dejected, turns and joins all the others Colleen has turned down. MASTER (CONFUSED) Then who are you going to marry? Colleen looks around the room. COLLEEN (URGENT) Anyone else want to give it a shot? Muzzle stands up and smiles. Greta puts her paw on his shoulder and forces him back into a sitting position. He turns and looks at her, shocked. She just shakes her head, he whimpers. Colleen turns back towards the others she has turned away. COLLEEN (CONFUSED) Say. Where is Exile? The group shrugs their shoulders. BLITZ (OFF SCREEN, DETERMINED) Never mind him! Everyone turns towards Blitz who is marching down the aisle. Everyone cries his name. He walks up to Colleen and looks at her. BLITZ (SMUG) It's me you want. Isn't it. Colleen quickly nods her head. COLLEEN (PASSIONATE) Yes. Yes. It's you I want. It's you I've always wanted. BLITZ (SMUG) I know. I'm perfect. MASTER (ANNOYED) Can we continue now? Everyone turns back towards the Master. COLLEEN (PLEASED) Please. MASTER (PLEASED) As I was saying. Suddenly, there is a loud explosion. Everyone turns towards the back to see Parvo, Groomer and a squad of Cano-Mutants. All are heavily armed. Parvo is a large male cyborg that wears a metal helmet, has a metal arm and leg. Groomer is a female woman dresses in a red jumpsuit, black boots and gloves. She also wears a helmet like Parvo. The Cano-Mutants are like Cano-Sapiens except they are larger and more vicious looking. The group of Baddies snarl back at them. Parvo steps forward. Everyone gasps his name. PARVO (SARCASTIC) Sorry we're late. Parvo chuckles but then turns all apologetic. PARVO (MEEK) Where do we seat? MASTER (ANNOYED) Just find a place. PARVO (MEEK) Thanks. The Baddies tip toe into the back row and take their seats, everyone turns back towards the Master. MASTER (ANNOYED) Well, what do you say we skip to the good part before we're interrupted again? COLLEEN (HONEST) I'm for that. The sooner the better. MASTER (PLEASED) So. If there is anyone present who thinks these two canines should not be web speak now or forever hold your peace. The Master looks around at the crowd, no one replies. He looks back at Colleen and Blitz. MASTER (PLEASED) Very well. By- The Master is interrupted by loud pounding. EXILE (MUFFLED, EXCITED) No! Colleen! Stop! Everyone turns towards a large window. There, Exile is pounding on it. EXILE (EXCITED) Stop the wedding! Stop Colleen! Stop! Exile quickly runs from the window, everyone is in shocked. He appears at the far end of the aisle, running towards Colleen. EXILE (EXCITED) The wedding can not continue! It must stop! Everyone looks at him in horror, he races up to Colleen. She look all dreamy at him. Blitz doesn't know what to say. EXILE (EXCITED) This wedding can't go on! Exile whips out a present. EXILE (PLEASED) That is, until I give the bride and groom my wedding gift. Exile holds the gift out to Colleen and Blitz. COLLEEN (CAUTIOUS) That is all sweet and all. But you're suppose to give the presents at the reception. After the wedding. Exile pulls his present back. EXILE (EMBARRASSED) Oh. Sorry. He joins Hunter and the others on the side. Everyone turns back to the Master. MASTER (ANNOYED) While we still have a chance. I now pronounce you dog and dog. You may kiss the dog. Colleen turns to Blitz and they look passionate at each other. They grab one another and kiss each other on the lips with a passionate kiss. FADE OUT COLLEEN (VOICE OVER, SCREAMS) Nooo!!! FADE IN INTERIOR: COLLEEN'S BEDROOM This is very similar to what would be in a human's: Bed, desk, chair, etc. Colleen is laying is her bed, screaming. She quickly sits, she is dressed in a night gown. She is dripping with sweet and panting heavily. She looks around the room. COLLEEN (OUT OF BREATH, RELIEVED) It was all a dream. A bad dream. Colleen pauses. COLLEEN (OUT OF BREATH, BLUNT) Dream nothing. That was a full blown nightmare. Colleen pauses again. COLLEEN (OUT OF BREATH, FRUSTRATED) There has to be something wrong with me if I dreamed I married. Him. Colleen pauses one more time. COLLEEN (OUT OF BREATH, ANNOYED) Worst yet is that I kissed him too. I've got to wash my mouth out. Colleen throws the covers off of her. MASTER (OVER LOUD SPEAKER) Morning Rovers. Rinse and shine. Today's THE big bay. Breakfast is now being served. Please make sure you're all packed and ready to go. Colleen looks up to the ceiling. COLLEEN (BLUNT) Perfect. Colleen climbs out of bed. INTERIOR: EXILE'S BEDROOM This room is very similar to Colleen's. Exile is dressed and finishing packing a suitcase. The door to the hall is open and another suitcase is sitting on the floor by it. He is rummaging around a dresser, he pulls out a shirt. A picture in a frame falls out of it and to the floor. He looks down at it. Shocked. He drops the shirt, bends down and picks up the picture. He sits down and stares at the picture, sad. The picture is of him with a Collie who looks very similar to Colleen, both are in their pre-Cano-Sapien form. He sighs. EXILE (DEPRESSED) I can't believe after all this time I still have the feeling. Exile sighs again. There is a knock at the door. He quickly turns towards it and hides the picture behind his back. Colleen pops her heads around the door, she smiles. COLLEEN (HAPPY) Morning, Exile. EXILE (COLD) Want do you want? Colleen is taken aback, slightly. COLLEEN (CONCERNED) Just wondering if you're coming to breakfast. EXILE (COLD) What business is it of yours? Colleen pauses. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) My. Someone sounds like they slept as well as I did. EXILE (COLD) I don't appreciate people barging into my room. COLLEEN (CONFUSED) Who's barging? EXILE (COLD) Go away! COLLEEN (HURT) Fine. Maybe you'll feel better after you get something to eat. Colleen leaves in a huff. Exile sighs. He pulls the picture out from behind his back and stares at it again. EXILE (SAD) Why is it that I have so much trouble with Collies? Exile continues to look at the picture. EXTERIOR: ROAD ROVER MISSION CONTROL - GROUNDS Deep in a large cavern in the earth is a lighted complex of buildings (shaped like fire hydrants) and clear tubing (that connect the buildings together). Sunlight shines through a hole from above. This is where the Road Rover's base all their operations from. INTERIOR: ROAD ROVER MISSION CONTROL - BRIEFING ROOM This is a huge room with many view screens on the wall and exits. In the center of the room is a large table with many chairs around it. Colleen, Exile, Hunter and Shag are sitting around the table dressed in the typical Road Rover metallic costume (except for Shag). In the background is Muzzle. Set into one of the walls is a balcony bathed in brilliant light, the Master is standing on it and is holding a small remove control. It is very hard to make out the Master because of the blinding light, but from what we can see he is a male human in form but has long white hair and glowing white eyes. Everyone watches one of the larger view screens, on it a female reporter is just outside a very large and old juridical building. REPORTER (OVER TV, ENGLISH ACCENT) Tomorrow, the trial of the century begins just behind me. Candice Waken, also known as the Eliminator, goes on trial. The prosecution contests that Miss Waken can be directly connected with no less than nine assassinations around the world. But due to lack of jurisdiction, only the attempt on the Prime Minster's life a three months ago will be tried here. According to authorities Miss Waken is a hired assassin that has always been able to eliminate her target. But this all changed with the Prime Minister who only evaded death thanks to the Road Rovers. EXILE (PLEASED) We've been mentioned on TV. HUNTER (PLEASED) Cool. Shag mumbles his enthusiasm too. Colleen turns towards them. COLLEEN (ANNOYED) Would you blokes pipe down? I'm trying to listen. Hunter, Exile and Shag shrug their shoulder, Colleen looks back at the view screen. The report continues. REPORTER (OVER TV) Word has it that the Rovers will be appearing in the trial as witnesses against Miss Waken. Her and her authorities have denied all charges. But before this monumental trial begins let us go back to the beginning. The Master points his remote control at the view screen and presses a button, the screen goes dark. He looks at the Rovers and they look back. MASTER (AMERICAN ACCENT) As you have seen, you're all going back to England to put the Eliminator where she belongs: Behind bars. Unfortunately, the trial may take a while so you may be away for awhile. So like I said before, make sure to pack everything you will need. ROVERS (UNISON) Yes sir. The Master looks them over, he looks confused. MASTER (CONFUSED) Where's Blitz? Colleen shrugs his shoulders. COLLEEN (CONFUSED) Who? Hunter rolls his eyes. Blitz steps into the room and moves towards the Rovers. He is wearing a T-shirt that says "I'm with Stupid", Hawaiian shorts, a baseball cap that reads "Tourist" and sandals. BLITZ (BLUNT) I'm right here. Everyone turns towards Blitz, he stops before the other Rovers. They look at him with astonishment. HUNTER (CONFUSED) Who are you suppose to be? BLITZ (PLEASED) Like the Master said. We're going to be away a while so I'm going to get some vacation time in. EXILE (STERN) Blitz this is SERIOUS. We're going to London to make sure bad lady goes to jailski. BLITZ (SARCASTIC) So I'll do some SERIOUS vacationing. Exile folds his arms and looks away. EXILE (ANNOYED) You are disgrace to dogs everywhere. BLITZ (BLUNT) Hey. I haven't had a vacation since I became a Road Rover. I think I deserve one. Exile looks back to Blitz. EXILE (ANNOYED) The only thing you deserve is this. Exile holds up an angry fist towards Blitz. He responds by extending his razor sharp claws. BLITZ (ANNOYED) Go ahead. If you think you can. Exile and Blitz stare angrily at each other, they begin to growl. Colleen Hunter and Shag watch in shock. MASTER (ANGRY) Rovers! Everyone turns towards the Master, unsure. MASTER (ANGRY) This is no time for fooling around. It is time to. The Master begins to falters. MASTER (FLATTERING) To. To. The Master's legs give out from underneath him and he falls to his knees. Everyone gasps. HUNTER (EXCITED) Master! Hunter takes a step towards the balcony. The Master holds out his hand and indicates for him to stop, he doesn't move any closer. The Master struggles back to his feet. COLLEEN (CONCERNED) Are you already Master? The Master nods. MASTER (STRUGGLING) Yes. I just felt a little weak. I'm better now. Maybe I'm just. The Master passes out and lands halfway over the railing. Everyone gasps. Colleen races forward, leaps up to the balcony and over the railing. His body begins to shake. Colleen checks his pulse. HUNTER (CONCERNED) How is he? Colleen shakes her head. HUNTER (URGENT) We'd better get him to the infirmary. COLLEEN (URGENT) And fast. Exile lowers his fist and Blitz retracts his claws. Exile turns to Shag. EXILE (URGENT) Come on Shagster. You grab one end and I'll grab another. Shag nods. Exile turns back toward the balcony and rushes towards it. Shag takes a step towards it and faints on top of Blitz, they both tumble to the floor. Shag's massive body and fur covers almost all of him, the only thing that can be seen is Blitz's flaying arms and legs. His cries are muffled. Exile turns back towards Shag who is having a seizure like the Master. EXILE (URGENT) We've got another one. Hunter looks at Shag, but Muzzle and his cart topples over. He notices this. HUNTER (EXCITED) Oh no! Hunter rushes to Muzzle's side, Muzzle begins to shake uncontrollable. HUNTER (FRIGHTEN) Not you too buddy. Hunter is shocked. Colleen picks up the Master. COLLEEN (URGENT) Everyone pickup the patient nearest to you and make a bee line for the infirmary. Exile looks up to Colleen, she is carefully lowering the Master to him. Hunter picks up Muzzle's cart. Exile places the Master over his shoulder and heads for an exit, Hunter follows. Colleen jumps off the balcony and also follows. EXILE (URGENT) Blitz, grab Shag and follow us. Blitz, still trapped under Shag, stops flaying. He cries for help but the others have already left the room. He begins to cry and flay again. FADE OUT The large words of "ROAD ROVERS" quickly scrolls across the screen from right to left. FADE IN INTERIOR: ROAD ROVER MISSION CONTROL - INFIRMARY This is a small room with three beds. It is crammed with all sorts of medical equipment and cabinets of medical drugs. There is one door leading in and out. The Master, Shag and Muzzle (whose restraints have been removed) are laying in the beds, several covers are over their bodies. They are still unconscious and shaking but not as much. Colleen and Professor Hubert, are talking softly in a corner near a microscope. Hunter, Exile and Blitz are near the door and waiting anxiously. Colleen and Hubert come to an agreement, then turn and approach the Rovers. HUNTER (CONCERNED) What is the verdict? EXILE (CONCERNED) Da. Are comrades going to be dokey okey? Colleen looks at them grimly and just shakes her head. HUBERT (AMERICAN ACCENT, SORROWFUL) I'm afraid not. Our friends are all suffering from a serve system collapse. There nervous system is being attacked by a nasty virus. But the good news is that the virus isn't destroying actual tissue but is numbing it instead, so there is no permanent damage. HUNTER (CONFUSED) So what is the bad news? HUBERT (GLUM) It is slowly working towards their brains, the CPU of the nervous system. Once it reaches there nothing can save them. EXILE (CONCERNED) So how do we stop this virus? Hubert shrugs his shoulders. HUBERT (GLUM) We can't. It's something totally new. I've never seen anything like it. I've got a few call in to the experts in viral diseases but there is little hope. BLITZ (FRIGHTEN) Is it contagious? HUBERT (HONEST) All tests say it isn't, but it has to be have been transmitted some how how else could have all three contracted it? So I'm going to have to check you all out. Colleen turns to Hubert. COLLEEN (BLUNT) I'll check them out Professor Hubert, you keep working. Maybe we'll get lucky. Hubert nods, turns and goes back to the microscope. Colleen walks over to one of the cabinets. Blitz smiles to her. BLITZ (CHAUVINISTIC) Pretty she doctor. I'll volunteer to be examined by you first. Should I take off my clothes now? Colleen opens the cabinet. COLLEEN (BLUNT) Fortunately, that won't be necessary. Um. Um. Colleen begins to snap her fingers as she thinks. BLITZ (ANNOYED) Blitz. The name is Blitz. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) Oh. Yeah. That's right. Blitz rolls his eyes. Exile is confused. EXILE (CONFUSED) Then how are you going to examine us? Colleen reaches into the cabinet and pull out a syringe. COLLEEN (PLEASED) With this. Blitz and Exile are startled by the needle, but Hunter is absolutely terrified. He yelps, turns and runs behind Exile. He uses him as a shield and peers around Exile. HUNTER (TERRIFIED) You're going to stick us with that! COLLEEN (BLUNT) Yeah. All we need is a little blood. HUNTER (TERRIFIED) You're not going anywhere near me with that thing! COLLEEN (CONFUSED) What's wrong with you Huntie? EXILE (CONFUSED) Da. You are one of the bravest dogs I know. BLITZ (SMUG) Don't tell me you're afraid of a little needle. HUNTER (TERRIFIED) I'm not afraid of it. I'M TERRIFIED OF IT!!! BLITZ (BABY TALK) Huntie Wuntie is scaridie waridie? HUNTER (DEFENSIVE) You would to if one of your previous masters would say he's taking you ridies and before you know it you're in the vets office, strapped to a cold metal table while the doctor is sticking a bunch of those in your tooshie. BLITZ (PLEASED) Hummm. That sounds like fun. Exile hangs his head and shakes it. EXILE (BLUNT) Oh great. You've got him started again. COLLEEN (UNDERSTANDING) Don't worry Huntie. We'll get you through it. Blitz looses his smugness and Exile looks back up. EXILE (CONSOLING) Da. Comrade. We will be here for you. A smile forms on Hunter's face. Blitz walks up to Colleen. BLITZ (SMUG) Here. Do me first. I'll show our baby leader how a REAL Cano- Sapien takes it. Blitz hold up his arm to Colleen, she frowns. After a few moments, a smile forms on her face. COLLEEN (HONEST) That is a good idea. Colleen turns back towards the cabinet. COLLEEN (BLUNT) But we have a special needle just for REAL Cano-Mutants. Colleen pulls out a hypo with a huge needle on it. Both Blitz and Hunter yipe, even Exile is taken by surprise. Hunter cowers behind Exile and Blitz faints, he falls to the floor. Hunter shakes with fear and Colleen chuckles, she places the large needle back in the cabinet. Exile nods and smiles. EXILE (SARCASTIC) Ahhh. Colleen fast pull one on Blitz.. Exile chuckles and Hunter peers around Exile again. HUNTER (TERRIFIED) You mean your not going to use that? COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) Of course not. That one is made of elephants. Exile is confused. EXILE (CONFUSED) Elephants. Then why do you have it? COLLEEN (SMUG) For just such an occasion. HUNTER (BLUNT) Colleen. You're just plain mean. Colleen just smiles as if she just received a complement. FADE OUT The large letters of "ROAD ROVERS" quickly scrolls across the screen from left to right. FADE IN INTERIOR: ROAD ROVER MISSION CONTROL - INFIRMARY Hunter, Exile, Blitz, Colleen and Hubert have band aids on their arms (all with little pictures of humans on them). Hunter is standing near Exile who is consoling him, Hunter is sucking his thumb. Blitz is standing near them too and looks a bit shaken. Colleen and Hubert are working over the microscope. EXILE (REASSURING) You did very good Hunter. You were very brave. Hunter nods but continues to suck his thumb. BLITZ (BLUNT) He was a baby. Exile turns towards Blitz. EXILE (STERN) You will take that back. Blitz turns towards Exile and sneers at him. BLITZ (DEFIANT) Or you'll do what? EXILE (BLUNT) Or I'll recount in detail how you fainted. In front of Colleen. Blitz loses his sneer. BLITZ (QUICKLY) Okay. Okay. Hunter was brave. Very brave. Exile smiles. Colleen and Hubert turn from the microscope and walk over to the Rovers, they look at them anxiously. COLLEEN (PLEASED) Good new. None of us are infected by the virus. HUBERT (BLUNT) But the bad news is that one of us DID have it. EXILE (SARCASTIC) It is that bad news thing that always gets us. BLITZ (CONCERNED) Who had it? Hubert sighs and points at Hunter. HUBERT (GLUM) Him. Everyone turns and looks at Hunter, Hubert lowers her arm. He pulls the thumb out of his mouth and look at Colleen? HUNTER (SHOCKED) Me? COLLEEN (BLUNT) I'm afraid so. We found a slight trace in your blood. HUNTER (CONFUSED) How did I get it? COLLEEN (HONEST) I wish we knew. BLITZ (CONCERNED) More important is how did he get rid of it? Hubert just shrugs his shoulders. EXILE (HOPEFUL) Maybe he is immune to it. COLLEEN (BLUNT) He is. We all are. EXILE (PLEASED) Then couldn't we use our blood to make a serum for the others? COLLEEN (BLUNT) We're immune because it was designed to attack other living creatures but Cano-Sapiens. EXILE (CONFUSED) What do you mean designed? COLLEEN (BLUNT) Just that. This is not a natural virus but a synthetic one. BLITZ (CONFUSED) Then someone deliberately placed it on Hunter so he would carry it in here and infect comrades. HUBERT (BLUNT) That is how is looks. EXILE (CONFUSED) But who? How? COLLEEN (BLUNT) Throw in why and you'll be asking the same questions I've been asking myself over and over. EXILE (HELPFUL) Perhaps we could get a better idea if we knew when Hunter was infected. Colleen thinks for a moment. COLLEEN (THINKING) Well. Taking the rate of growth and maturity of the virus into account, I'd say two. Probably three months. EXILE (CONFUSED) Wait a hour? If Hunter was infected three months ago then the virus would have infected a whole bunch of people by now. COLLEEN (HONEST) It can only be transmitted when it becomes fully mature which just happened recently. BLITZ (CONFUSED) Where were we three months ago? Everyone ponders. EXILE (THINKING) Say. Didn't that lady in the newscast say the Eliminator was arrest three months ago. Blitz snaps his fingers. BLITZ (REALIZING) Ya. We were in London. Colleen gasps. COLLEEN (SHOCKED) Oh no. Colleen quickly turns and begins desperately searching cabinets. COLLEEN (CONCERNED) Please don't let it be. EXILE (CONFUSED) Colleen. What are doing? Colleen keeps searching. COLLEEN (DESPERATE) For the smoking gun. ROVERS (CONFUSED) Huh? Colleen stops. COLLEEN (EXCITED) Ah. Here it is. Colleen pulls out the Eliminator's gas gun. BLITZ (CONFUSED) Say. Isn't that the Eliminator's gas gun? EXILE (BLUNT) Da. The one she gassed Hunter with. COLLEEN (HONEST) Yes. I never got around to having it's contents tested. Colleen quickly rushes over to the microscope and places the barrel underneath it, she looks into the eye piece. After she plays with the microscope for a bit she gasps and looks up. COLLEEN (SHOCKED) Bulshoi! Everyone looks at her, shocked. EXILE (BLUNT) Don't tell me. You've found traces of the virus on the weapon. COLLEEN (SHOCKED) It is an exact match. BLITZ (BLUNT) Then the Eliminator is who we're after. EXILE (BLUNT) Get her and we have the source of the virus. COLLEEN (BLUNT) And a possible cure. HUNTER (STERN) Then that is what we're going to do. Everyone turns back to Hunter. HUNTER (COMMANDING) Exile. You're with me. The rest of you stay here and take care of our sick buddies. EXILE (CONFUSED) Where are we going? HUNTER (SLY) London. We're going to pay our friend the Eliminator a little visit. Hunter turns and races out of the room, Exile follows. FADE OUT The large words of "ROAD ROVERS" quickly scrolls across the screen from right to left. FADE IN EXTERIOR: ROAD ROVER MISSION CONTROL - SURFACE It is late in the day. A large secret door opens on the side of the creator and the Sonic Rover, a large dog shaped jet with Road Rover markings, flies out through the door. The door then closes and the jet climbs skyward. INTERIOR: SONIC ROVER - COCKPIT This is a standard styled cockpit. There is a pilot and copilot seat and a bunch of controls. Hunter is flying the plane while Exile is reading "Green Eggs And Ham", both are wearing seat belts. Exile shakes his head. EXILE (CONFUSED) This book is really loopski. Exile puts the book down. EXILE (CONFUSED) Where I come from green eggs meant they were spoiled. And the ham is not kosher. Exile turns to Hunter. EXILE (CONFUSED) Could you please explain this to me? Hunter just stares out of the windshield. EXILE (CONFUSED) Hunter. Are you all right? HUNTER (DISTANT) Hmmm. EXILE (CONFUSED) Should you even be flying? Hunter looks at Exile. HUNTER (CONFUSED) Excuse me? EXILE (CONFUSED) You dokey okey? Hunter nods. HUNTER (DISTANT) Yeah. I was thinking about them. Hunter turns and looks forward again. EXILE (UNDERSTANDING) You are concerned about comrades. Me too. HUNTER (COLD) You have a funny way of showing your concern. Exile looks forward. EXILE (BLUNT) Just because I am reading doesn't mean I don't care. We have an old saying in Siberia. Nothing was every accomplished by worrying. Hunter sighs. HUNTER (ASHAMED) I'm sorry buddy. That was a stupid thing for me to say. EXILE (BLUNT) Da. It was. Exile looks at Hunter and smile. EXILE (UNDERSTANDING) But I understand. You are worried about Muzzle. Your best buddy. Hunter nods. HUNTER (CONCERNED) Yes. But also about the others. Hunter takes on of his hands off the stick and slams it on the dash. HUNTER (FRUSTRATED) I wish there was something we could do. Hunter grabs the stick with both hands again. EXILE (CONFUSED) But we are. We are going to see person who made virus. Hunter turns to Exile. HUNTER (FRUSTRATED) I mean right now. Hunter quickly looks forward again. HUNTER (FRUSTRATED) I just feel so helpless. Exile looks forward again. He thinks for a moment. EXILE (CAUTIOUS) Actually. There is something we could do now. And it isn't just a little thing. Hunter quickly looks at Exile. HUNTER (ANXIOUS) What? Exile looks at Hunter. EXILE (BLUNT) We can pray. HUNTER (CONFUSED) What? EXILE (SHOCKED) You tell me that you have never prayed before. Hunter quickly looks forward. HUNTER (HURT) Of course I have. I just meant we're not in church. We can't do it here. EXILE (BLUNT) Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." No matter where we are. No matter if we are dog or man. Christ is with us. All we need to do is talk to him. Hunter nods and smile. HUNTER (ASHAMED) Once again, Exile. You're right. EXILE (CAUTIOUS) Shall we pray? Hunter flips on the auto pilot and turns to Exile. HUNTER (PLEASED) Let's. Hunter and Exile face forward again. They close their eyes, bow there heads and fold their hands. EXILE (PRAYING) Dear heavenly father. Exile continues on. EXTERIOR: ROAD ROVER MISSION CONTROL - INFIRMARY The Master, Shag and Muzzle are resting peacefully. Colleen is checking the pulse of Shag. Everyone else is gone. Colleen is satisfied with Shag's pulse, she picks up a clipboard and pen on a night stand next to the bed and jots it in. She then returns the items back to the table. She looks all three patients over with sad eyes, she sighs. Hubert walks into the room, he stops and looks at her. He forces a smile. HUBERT (COMFORTING) I bet you could use a break. Colleen turns to Hubert, she slimes slightly. COLLEEN (POLITE) Oh. I'm all right Professor. HUBERT (BLUNT) Well you don't look it. Colleen frowns. COLLEEN (DEFENSIVE) Is that suppose be a compliment? HUBERT (APOLOGETIC) What I'm saying is take a hike. Stretch your paws. Take a run around the complex. Do anything. You've been cooped up all day in here. Colleen thinks for a moment, turns back to the patients and looks them over. She shakes her head. COLLEEN (BLUNT) No. That's all right. I'll be fine. Hubert walks up to Colleen. HUBERT (CONCERNED) Killing yourself isn't going to make them better. We won't be able to do anything until Hunter gets back. When that happens there won't be any breaks. Colleen just stares at the three sleeping patients. Hubert puts his hands on her shoulders. HUBERT (PLEADING) Please. Go. Even if it is just for a few minutes. Colleen thinks for a moment. She turns towards Hubert and he removes her hands. She opens her mouth to respond. HUBERT (DETERMINED) If there is any change I'll page you. COLLEEN (CONCERNED) Promise? HUBERT (HOPEFUL) Absolutely. Colleen smiles again, she touches his arm. COLLEEN (PLEASED) Thanks Professor. Colleen turns towards the door, heads towards it and leaves. As Hubert watches her go he looses his smile. He walks up to the doorway, looks down the hall the way she went. He then turns and looks the other way, he motions for someone to come closer. Blitz appears and both rush into the room. They look at one another. BLITZ (PLEASED) Thanks Professor. HUBERT (STERN) I hope you remember our deal. I get rid of Colleen and you tell her you sent me on a wild goose chase looking for her so you could be alone in here. BLITZ (HONEST) Of course. HUBERT (STERN) She'd kill me if she ever learned I was doing this. BLITZ (BLUNT) Trust me. I know. Hubert forces a smile. HUBERT (RELAXED) Okay. I'll be right outside if you need me. Blitz nods. Hubert turns towards the door and walks out of the room. Blitz sighs and turns towards the Master's bed, he walks up to it. He then sits in a chair next to the bed and looks at the Master. Blitz takes a deep breath. BLITZ (CONCERNED) It's me. Blitz. I don't know if you can hear me or understand but I'll just have to take that chance. Blitz pauses to collect his thoughts. BLITZ (CONCERNED) I've been meaning to tell you something ever since I became a Road Rover. I don't know exactly how to say this but I'll try. Blitz pauses again. BLITZ (CONCERNED) Thank you. Thank you for believing in me. I know some times can be obsessive about certain body parts and sometimes my courage leaves me. Yet, you saw all this and made me a Road Rover anyway. You kept me on as a Road Rover. I wish you were awake right now so I could tell you all this. But also so I could ask you why you have so much faith in me when others don't. MASTER (MUMBLING) Because deep in every dog there is a Road Rover. Blitz is astonished. He looks at the Master even closer. BLITZ (CONFUSED) Master? Are you awake? Can you hear me. The Master just continues to rest. Blitz shakes his head. BLITZ (CONFUSED) Ah. I must be hearing things. Blitz stands up and looks down at the Master. BLITZ (SOULFUL) Please Master. Hang on until Hunter gets back. I need you. A tear rolls down Blitz's cheek. He quickly turns and heads for the exit. But when he reaches it, Colleen rushes in to the room dragging Hubert in kicking and whimpering by his ear. Blitz stops in his tracks. She looks coldly at him. COLLEEN (BLUNT) And what are you doing here? HUBERT (IN PAIN) Go on tell. Tell her how you told me how she wanted to see me. Tell her. Blitz thinks for a moment. BLITZ (BLUNT) I don't know what he is talking about. I was just paying a visit and found the room completely empty. HUBERT (CONFUSED) Huh? Colleen tugs on Hubert's ear and he yelps. He points at Blitz HUBERT (IN PAIN) I'm warning you Blitz. If you don't tell the truth I'm going to use that elephant hypo on you. In several places. Blitz gasps. BLITZ (QUICKLY) Okay. Okay. He is right. I set him up. COLLEEN (BLUNT) I knew it. Colleen lets go of Hubert, he sighs with relief. She looks at him. COLLEEN (STERN) But that doesn't excuse you of leaving the patiants alone with a total stranger. BLITZ (CONFUSED) I'm not a stranger. You know me. Colleen look back at Blitz. COLLEEN (BLUNT) I certainly do not. Colleen looks Blitz up and down. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) And by the looks of you I wouldn't leave you to tend a sick cat. BLITZ (ANNOYED) What? Now listen hear yo- Hubert jumps up and down. HUBERT (ANGRY) Enough! Enough! Enough! Blitz and Colleen looks at Hubert, shocked. HUBERT (ANGRY) I've been listening to you two bicker and fight ever since you became Road Rovers! And quite frankly I am sick of it! Blitz points at Colleen. BLITZ (DEFENSIVE) Well she started it. COLLEEN (DEFENSIVE) I most certainly did not. HUBERT (ANGRY) I don't care who started what! You're suppose to be a team! It has to end here and now! Understand? Blitz lowers his arm. Colleen and he think for a moment, then nods. HUBERT (RELIEVED) Good. The first order of business is that you're going to say his name. Hubert points a Blitz. COLLEEN (CONFUSED) What? But I don't even know it. Hubert sighs and lowers his arm. HUBERT (BLUNT) Granted. It was funny at the beginning. But it is a tired old gag by now. Colleen thinks for a moment, then hangs her head. COLLEEN (DISAPPOINTED) Yes you're right. BLITZ (EXCITED) What? You really know my name? Colleen looks up. COLLEEN (DEFENSIVE) Of course. Do you think I'm that dense as to be unable to remember someone's name after all this time? HUBERT (PLEASED) Then let's hear you say it. Blitz folds his arm and smiles. BLITZ (SMUG) Ya. I would love to hear my name pass through those beautiful canine lips. Colleen takes a deep breath. COLLEEN (RELUCTANT) Very well. Your name is. Is. Is. Colleen pauses as everyone anxiously waits. COLLEEN (SARCASTIC) Stuffington Fluffy Pants. Or just plain Fluffy for short. Blitz hangs his head and shakes it, he moans. Hubert throws his arms up in the air. HUBERT (ANGRY) That does it! I give up! Hubert storms out of the room. COLLEEN (SMUG) What do you say now? Fluffy. Blitz looks up. BLITZ (FRUSTRATED) I wonder if Freakazoid needs a new side kick? Colleen just smiles back. EXTERIOR: SOUTH GATE PENITENTIARY - WALL It is night. This is a huge modern prison complex. A huge metal wall surrounds the entire area. There are towers with spotlights. Guards man the towards and patrol the walls, each is equipped with a laser rifle. A large sign on one of the walls reads "South Gate Penitentiary: London England". The Sonic Rover is parked in front of the prison. INTERIOR: SOUTH GATE PENITENTIARY - INTERROGATION ROOM This is a small windowless room with one door. A table with two chairs (one on one side and two on the other) is here. Candice is sitting in the lone chair, she is dressed in prison clothes and looks rather bored. The door opens and she turns towards it. The door has been open by one of two large guards. Hunter steps into the room followed by Exile. She looks at them and smiles. The door is closed behind them. The Rovers walk up to the table. CANDICE (SMUG) Road Rovers. I was wondering when you were going to show up. HUNTER (CONFUSED) You were expecting us? CANDICE (SMUG) Of course. You came to talk to me about my little virus. EXILE (ANXIOUS) Is there cure? CANDICE (SMUG) Of course, that is all part of the plan. HUNTER (CONFUSED) Plan? What plan? CANDICE (BLUNT) I always carry around my little toy which I used to gas you with. I knew one day I get caught, it was only a matter of time. I just didn't think it would be by a bunch of talking dogs. According to my lawyers I'm dead meat. There is no way they can get me off. Even if I bribed the entire jury there is more than enough evidence to convict me. There is even enough evidence against me if all the Road Rovers testify in my behalf. EXILE (CONFUSED) What does that have to do with the virus? CANDICE (BLUNT) You may be talking dog but you're not too smart. Hunter and Exile just give Candice a blank stare, she sighs. CANDICE (BLUNT) The virus is a mono modifier. Whatever living matter it comes in contact first it mutates so it won't harm the host. In this case it was a Road Rover. HUNTER (CONFUSED) Then you didn't infect me for revenge? CANDICE (BLUNT) What good would revenge be if I was locked up in here? The plan was to infect your non-Road Rover friends. That way you'd be force to do anything to save them. EXILE (ANNOYED) What is this all about Eliminator? CANDICE (BLUNT) Here. Let me spell it out for you. The virus is my insurance policy. You bust me out of here and I'll be more than glad to hand you over the antidote. EXILE (SHOCKED) What? HUNTER (SHOCKED) No way! CANDICE (CONFUSED) You mean you're just going to stand their and let your friends die? HUNTER (HONEST) We're heroes. We have no choice. Freeing you would be wrong and against the law. EXILE (CONCERNED) Worst yet our membership to the Heroes Guild would be revoked. HUNTER (DESPERATE) Ask for anything else. Anything at all and we'll see what we can do. Candice pauses. CANDICE (BLUNT) No. You've heard the terms of my offer. Take it or leave it. HUNTER (DEFIANT) We'll leave it. EXILE (STERN) Perhaps there is another way. Exile leans over the table and comes face to face with Candice. EXILE (COLD) I can beat it out of you. Exile stares sternly into Candice's eyes. She just chuckles. CANDICE (LAUGHING) Get real. You are heroes. You won't lay a finger on me. Exile continues to stare as Candice laughs. After a few moments he softens and sighs, he stands back up. EXILE (SORROWFUL) Unfortunately, you're right. Exile turns towards the door. EXILE (COLD) Let's get out of here before I'm REALLY tempted to pound her. Hunter turns towards the door, Candice stops laughing. CANDICE (QUICKLY) Wait. Hunter and Exile turn back towards the table. CANDICE (BLUNT) As a goodwill gesture, I willing to give you the antidote right here and now so you can authenticate it. HUNTER (PLEASED) That would be great. But we're still not going to bust you out. CANDICE (SMUG) Oh. I have all the confidence in the world that once you see that it is the real thing you'll be back to do the right thing. HUNTER (SARCASTIC) Some how I doubt that. Hunter and Candice stare coldly at one another. EXILE (EXCITED) Please! Just give us antidote! Hunter and Candice stop staring. She reaches inside her shirt pocket and pulls out a folded piece of paper, she holds it up to them. Hunter quickly grabs it, unfolds it and looks it over. Exile looks it over too. HUNTER (CONFUSED) You have a boil where? EXILE (CONFUSED) Uncle Phil did what? HUNTER (CONFUSED) There are sure a lot of big words here. Exile looks back at Candice. EXILE (CONFUSED) This isn't an antidote. But a letter from your mother. CANDICE (SARCASTIC) Think about it? Would a mother write a letter to a murder and vile criminal like me? Hunter looks at Candice now. HUNTER (HONEST) You have a point. CANDICE (SMUG) It is the antidote but in code. Take every third word and arrange them in reverse order and you have your prescription. Hunter and Exile look back at the letter. EXILE (SURPRISED) Bad lady is right. It is starting to make sense. HUNTER (DISAPPOINTED) But only a professor can figure the technical end of it. Exile looks up again. EXILE (EXCITED) Let's hurry and get this to Hubert! Hunter and Exile turn towards the door, they race for it. Candice waves good bye to them. CANDICE (SARCASTIC) Bye. See you soon. Hunter and Exile ignore Candice. They open the door and race out of the room. The guards enter and move towards her. Candice smiles slyly. CANDICE (WHISPERS, SLY) Real real soon. Candice chuckles to herself as the guards escort her from the room. FADE OUT The large letters of "ROAD ROVERS" quickly scrolls across the screen from left to right. FADE IN INTERIOR: ROAD ROVER MISSION CONTROL - INFIRMARY The Master, Shag and Muzzle are still sleeping away on the beds. Hubert is looking over Candice's letter. The rest of the Rovers are anxiously waiting near the door. Hubert nods. HUBERT (THINKING) Yes. Yes this is feasible. HUNTER (HOPEFUL) Then this might cure the virus? Hubert looks up to the group. HUBERT (PLEASED) No. This IS the cure. COLLEEN (EXCITED) Then the Master and the others are saved! Hubert smiles HUBERT (PLEASED) Yes. That is the good news. BLITZ (CONFUSED) Good news? EXILE (BLUNT) Uh oh. Here we go with the good news and bad news thing. COLLEEN (CONFUSED) What is the bad news? HUBERT (BLUNT) There are three primary ingredients in this antidote. All are synthetics that I have never seen before. HUNTER (CONFUSED) Well couldn't you just whip up a batch of them? Hubert shakes his head. HUBERT (BLUNT) I'm afraid it is not that easy. True, their properties are listed here but their exact composition is not. I could probably through trial and error come up with one in a month or so, maybe even in a few weeks. But the patients don't have that kind of time. COLLEEN (DISAPPOINTED) Last we check they won't last more than a few days. EXILE (SHOCKED) Then it's over. Hubert sighs. HUBERT (UNHAPPY) I'm afraid so. Everyone sighs and look at the floor, defeated. After a few seconds Hunter looks up and around to everyone. HUNTER (DEVASTATED) If you don't mind, I'd like a few moments alone with Muzzle. Everyone looks up to Hunter, they nod. COLLEEN (UNDERSTANDING) Sure. EXILE (CONSIDERATE) We understand. All but Hunter turns and heads for the exit. They all leave but Colleen. She stops, turns and looks at him. She forces a smile. COLLEEN (CONCERNED) I'll be right outside if you need me Huntie. Hunter just nods. Colleen turns and leaves. He walks up to Muzzle's bed, knees next to it and forces a smile. HUNTER (PLEASED) Hey buddy. It is me. Hunter. Hunter rubs the top of Muzzle's head, there is no response. Hunter frowns. HUNTER (BLUNT) How you doing? Hunter shakes his head. HUNTER (FRUSTRATED) What a stupid question. You won't be here if you were okay. Hunter collect his thoughts. HUNTER (DEFEATED) I'm sorry. I'm really sorry buddy. I tried my best but I just couldn't save you. It's all my fault. I'm the one who brought the virus in here and I'm the one who failed to get the cure. I don't deserve to be leader. A tear runs down Hunter's face. HUNTER (DEVASTATED) I knew one day one of us would get it. It is the nature of the business we're in. But I never thought it would be laying down. Defeated. I always thought it would be a blaze of glory. Tears run down both of Hunter's cheeks. He buries his face into Muzzle's chest and weeps. HUNTER (CRYING) If I had to do it all over again. I swear, you'd never have to wear that strait jacket again. You deserve better. You deserve the best. After a few moments he stops crying. He looks up. Determination fills his face. HUNTER (DETERMINED) And you will have the best. A smile forms across his face. HUNTER (SCREAMS) Colleen! Hunter jumps to his feet. HUNTER (SCREAMS) Colleen! Hunter turns towards the door and Colleen appear in it, disturbed. COLLEEN (CONCERNED) What is it Huntie? HUNTER (BLUNT) Get everyone back in here. COLLEEN (CONFUSED) Why? HUNTER (BLUNT) I've found a way out of this. COLLEEN (CONFUSED) Huh? Hunter ignores her and turns back toward Muzzle. FADE OUT The large words of "ROAD ROVERS" quickly scrolls across the screen from right to left. FADE IN INTERIOR: ROAD ROVER MISSION CONTROL - INFIRMARY It is as it was before except all of the Rovers are here, they are gathered around Hunter. EXILE (EXCITED) You're what? HUNTER (BLUNT) I've resigned. As of right now I'm no longer leader or a Road Rover. COLLEEN (CONFUSED) Why? HUNTER (BLUNT) So I won't tarnish the name of Road Rovers.

EXILE (CONFUSED) You'd be the last comrade I would have ever thought to volunteer. BLITZ (COLD) Then there is so little you know about me. Colleen rolls her eyes. COLLEEN (BLUNT) Oh give me a break. Blitz shrugs his shoulders. BLITZ (HONEST) Okay. So this isn't my idea of a good time. But sometime you have to do things you don't want to do. Blitz looks over to the Master.
