College dorm room. Greg Willis is here on his couch reading from a history textbook.

"Lesse, World War II, Pearl Harbor. Battleships Arizona, Nevada, Oklahoma, West Virginia...."

There is a knock at the door. Greg puts down his book and goes to the door.

"Uhh! Mark I said you can't borrow my---"

Standing there is Greg's brother Johnathon.

"John. Well this is a surprise."

"How you doin little bro?"

"Well I was studying for Friday's history test."

"Pfft. You'll ace it no problem. Can I come in."

"Please."

John walks in and sits down at the kitchen table.

"I got a new job today."

"Good for you. Where?"

"I'm going to be working for Drake Pennington."

"The oil tycoon? That's great John!"

"Sure is. So, you been studying hard?"

"You joking right? Midterms are in two weeks, of course I'm studying hard."

"I think maybe you need a break."

"Maybe your right."

"Well I gotta get going. See ya later little bro."

"Bye John."

After John leaves Greg grabs his keys and head for his car. He drives to the local SPCA facility and walks in.

"Afternoon Marcy."

An elderly looking woman looks up from her paperwork.

"Afternoon Greg. Volunteering today?"

"Yep. Just taking a break from midterm studies."

"Well help yourself. We had several new dogs come in yesterday."

"Thanks Marcy."

Little does Greg know it that fate will intervene in his life.

Stump Hollow. Tom Greystone is sitting in a booth of Cathy's Restaurant, a glass of beer next to him. Cathy Sanders comes out of the kitchen.

"I'm closing up Tom. Go home."

"Another beer Cathy."

"No! You've had enough. Tom your destroying yourself! Your sister is dead, you need to get on with your life."

Tom grabs Cathy's shirt and pulls her up to his face.

"How dare you! I loved Susan like any brother would. How dare you just toss her away like another statistic!"

"Let go of me! You had a perfectly good job with the FBI and then you screw it up by becoming a drunk."

"What I do is my business."

"Get out Greystone, now."

"You b****!"

"I said get out or I'll have the sherriff haul you away!"

Outside of town, Tom is walking along the road with his thumb out hoping to hitch a ride.

Stonebluff Bar. Tom is sitting in a barstool very drunk.

"Ah, bartenderths. They underthand. My thithter is dead and I'm a drunk."

"You've had enough tonight Greystone."

"I'll decide when I've had enough! More beer!"

Sherriff Ryker walks up behind him.

"He's right Tom, you've had enough."

"Oh, as you were Number One."

Tom laughs.

"Number One. Ha! Go fly a starship!"

"I've heard them all before. Come on."

Ryker begins to drag Tom away from the bar.

"Take out! Is there take out beer in this dump? Huh?"

Police Headquarters. Ryker half drags, half carries Tom in the only cell. Tom's mumbling to himself.

"In you go Greystone. Another day down the drain for you."

"Ohh. I want a change in life. Something really big to happen."

Tom begins to snore.

"Don't we all."

Hawk Inc. Wesley walks out of an elevator steaming mad holding a newspaper. His father's secretary, Sandy notices and moves to stop him.

"Hold up Wesley, your father's busy."

"Out of my way!"

He physically pushes her out of the way and kicks the door to his dad's office open. He is on the phone

"What the heck is wrong with you?!"

"I'll call you back. Bye. You apologize right now young man."

"The heck I will!"

Wesley throws down the newspaper onto his desk.

"Read it! The newspaper said Dr. Jones invented that gizmo not me! What, you can't see the potential in your own son?!"

"Calm down son."

"Shut up! You promised me that I would get the credit!"

"I just don't think people are ready to---"

"Not ready?! That does it! I'm going to work for Microsoft!"

"Microsoft? But they're a competator!"

"Exactly! At least there I won't be back stabbed by my own father! And the pay is even better than what your giving me! Good bye!"

Wesley turns around and storms out of his office. Richard goes up to the door.

"Wesley Hawk get back here! Let's talk about this!"

"I am through talking!"

Wesley gets into the elevator and leaves.

"That really was a boneheading thing to do Mr. Hawk." says Sandy "He's your own son."

"Just get me personell Sandy."

"Yes sir."

Night. Microsoft Parking lot. Wesley makes his way to his car.

"Wesley Hawk?"

"Yes?"

Wesley turns and comes face to face with General Parvo! Groomer is also there. Wesley gasps in fear.

"As of today Mr. Hawk, your working for me. I need a computer programmer."

"Never!"

"Groomer?"

Groomer shoots gas in Wesley's direction and he slumps to the ground. Wesley later wakes up to find himself tied to a chair at GenPar Inc.

"Good your awake. Get my computers operational."

"I'll never work for you Parvo!"

"You will, or the authorities will find you in very small pieces. Get him started Groomer."

"Yes General."

Wesley finds himself slaving away at Parvo's computers.

"What a mess this is in."

"Excatly why we wanted you for the job." says Groomer "Fluffy, watch him and report when he's done."

"Yes ma'am."

Wesley works on Parvo's computer's for several hours trying to debug his system and get it in order. Soon he see's that Fluffy has fallen asleep and begins fixing a computer virus of his. A muffled explosion is heard and Fluffy is startled awake.

"Red Alert! Road Rovers attacking! All Cano-Mutants to battlestations!"

Fluffy runs out the room and leaves Wesley there. He begins to finish up his virus. In Parvo's command room Parvo and Groomer are coordinating the battle.

"Reinforce sector Gamma!"

"Aye sir."

Suddenly every screen goes haywire.

"Warning. Warning. Virus is system detected. War...ning W..arn..ing."

"No! Who was guarding Hawk?"

"Fluffy sir. But he's on the front lines!"

"Let's get out of here Groomer!"

Later outside Parvo's smoldering base the Road Rovers and Wesley are gathered around the Turbojet Rover.

"Not a bad little trick there Mr Hawk." says Hunter

"Thanks. Say, you guys need a good mechanic, inventor or computer programmer?"

"You can do all that?"

Absolutely."

Unknown location. Beowulf, with both eyes, is creaping along a forest Petri gun in hand. He has a communicator on (seen in "Hunter's Heroes") with an attached portable camera eyepiece over his right eye.

"You see anything yet Beowulf?" says Colleen

"Nothing. This Cano-Mutant is really slippery."

From an above POV we see Beowulf walking through the forest. Suddenly the POV jumps from the tree. Beowulf has enough time to see it coming to turn. A slashing claw rips the portable camera off his face along with his eye! Beowulf screams in pain. Rhino, minus shoulder scar stands over him leering.

"You filthy furrball! You took out my eye!"

"I'll do more than that!"

Rhino brings up both fists and bashes them on Beowulf's shoulder and then kicks him hard in the stomach

"Freeze!"

Rhino turns and comes face to face with the Road Rovers. He hightails it out of there.

Colleen attends to Beowulf.

"Blimey! He took his eye right out!"

"That's gotta hurt." says Hunter

"No doggy doughnuts Sherlock. Let's get him to Mission Control fast!"

RRMC Infirmary. Beowulf wakes up and see's that half his vision is gone. Colleen, Hubert and the Master are here.

"How do you feel?" says Master

"Like my eye was slashed out."

"There are several techniques I can use to replace that eye." says Hubert "But until then I suggest you wear this eye patch."

Beowulf puts it on and then goes to a mirror.

"Hmm. I like it. Makes me look more tough."

Wesley walks into the Infirmary.

"Hey Hubert, I'm ready to start up that new program. Oh, hi there."

"Wesley I want you to meet Beowulf." says Master

Both shakes hands.

"I heard about your accident. How are you?

"I'll manage."

"Say, are you two interested in joining a new team?" says Master "They requested at least two more partners and I think you two fit the bill."

"But I never graduated from the Strayer Academy." says Beowulf

"They're not Strayers. They're bounty hunters."

Beowulf's eyebrows go up.

"Really? I'm in."

"A bounty hunter huh?" says Wesley "Should be an interesting challenge."

"Excellent. Let me fill you in on them."

****

Trader's Passage, Alaska. A small town in the middle of nowhere. A musher comes into town and stops his team in from of the local post office. The second dog from the lead is Saphire in canine form. The musher walks into the building.

"Long time no see Forbes."

"Hi Jack. Yeah, I've been out in the wilderness tracking down runaway felons."

"In this environment? They must be really hardy types."

"Must be. So, let's see who's on the wanted posters."

He goes over to a bulletin board displayed wanted posters.

"This looks interesting. Parker Graves. And he's been spotted near Beaver's Bend. That's only several hours away by sled."

"Watch yourself Forbes. Parker Graves is the brother of Cooper Graves. He's probably just as dangerous."

"Don't worry about me I can handle him. See ya around Jack."

Forbes walks out and get back on his sled.

"Mush!"

Some time later Forbes and his team has stopped. His lead dog has picked up a scent. He let's his dogs off the harness.

"Go find him Klondike!"

Klondike follows the scent while the other dogs decide to get some shut eye, all except Saphire who goes off towards some bushes. Meanwhile up on a nearby mountain a homemade bomb is ticking and then explodes. Loose snow begins to fall and is soon an avalanche. Forbes and Klondike run away from it. The other sled dogs have heard the explosion and watch for several seconds before running away too. Meanwhile Saphire has finished in the bushes and follows some animal tracks. Her ears perk up when the explosion happens. She finds a nearby cropping of rock and climbs it to find her master and sled mates running away from it. Forbes is the first to get buried. Then one by one the other dogs disappear. Saphire jumps off the rock and runs full speed away from the avalanche

Night. Saphire is alone walking through the forest. She is visibly scared and trying to look everywhere. She then comes across a road and begins to walk it. She smells something familar coming her way on the road. The Street Rover passes her, Hunter and Colleen inside.

"Hunter turn around! There's a stray back there!"

Hunter turns the car around and stop it. They get out and walk toward Saphire hands out.

"We won't hurt you. Come here. That's right."

Saphire sniffs Hunter's hand and her tail starts wagging. Colleen looks at her tag.

"Saphire. That's a pretty name."

"Come on, let's take her with us. We can't leave her here."

****

RRMC Dojo. Saphire now a Cano-Sapien is here with Colleen along with several other Cano's including both eyed Beowulf.

"Saphire, Beowulf, step forward and face each other. This exercise is mainling for you Saphire. When we helped you capture your master's killer you were reckless and nearly bloomin killed him. That's not how we do things here. Control your anger when you fight. Now then Saphire, defend yourself. Beowulf, attack."

Beowulf attacks her with several moves she neatly avoids. She then hovers in midair and delivers a string of Roundhose kicks toward Beowulf. He lands on his back smarting.

"Your really know how to kick. Ow!"

"Not bad."

"Thank you."

Desert highway. Saphire is flying alongside the highway getting surprised looks from anyone she passes by. She stops in front of a billboard that reads "Rosie's Restaurant, Bounty Hunter's only bar and grill. 2 miles down the road." She continues and then lands on the parking lot and walks in. She sits down at a booth and reads the menu, and she can't help but notice the reddish dog on the other side of the establishment staring at her......

The End
