The Sixth Rover - Part 27

The Sixth Rover – Part 27


Blitz:   Cory! Cory, where are you!?

Blitz called for his little "brother" while looking for him in the forest close to HQ.

Blitz:   Doh, where could that pup be?



Cory:   BOO!!

Blitz:   AAAAAHHHH!!!!

Blitz shouted like a girl, running toward some bushes.

Cory: [Laughing happily] Ha, scared you!! Yay, I scared Blitz!

Blitz, after descovering it was Cory all along, smiled and walked to the corgi, firmally hugging him.

Blitz:  Oh, Cory. You didn't have to scare me like that! I almost wet myself!

Cory:  Haha, I scared you, it's funny when you scream!

Suddenly, Blitz became a little depressed, Cory noticed this:


Cory:  Oh... I'm sorry! I didn't... mean it that way! I wasn't making fun of you, Blitz! I couldn't!

Blitz:  Cory...

Cory:  Ever since I met you and the Road Rovers, I always felt safe. I knew that I didn't have to be alone. I always have someone to play with! I have you, I have Hunter, Coleen, Shag, Exile, Blitz, Muzzle,  the professor, and the master. I have all of you with me, so I'm never alone.

Blitz started to shed tears, happy for the little corgi calling him his "brother".

Blitz:  Thank you, Cory. Thank you so much.

Cory:  Oh, Blitz... Please don't cry, I don't wanna see you sad... please...

Blitz:  It's alright, these tears aren't the sad kind, they're the happy kind.

Cory smiled and kept hugging the doberman, soon after, the young corgi puppy felt tired.


Cory:  Blitz... I'm tired... I'm... kinda... sleepy... I wanna go to bed...


Aftewards, the little corgi fell fast asleep, Blitz smiled and then carried a sleeping Cory on his back toward HQ. As he entered, he crossed paths with Exile the husky.

Exile:  Partner is very fond of you, Blitzski.

Blitz:  Ja, that he is...

Exile: [Chuckles]  He's still a little puppy, falling asleep just like that... He'll make a great rover someday.

Blitz:  ...I should get him to bed now.

Exile:  I help you, comrade.

The two dogs placed the young corgi in his bed in Blitz's quarters. They both smiled at their younger fellow rover sleeping very peacefully.

Blitz:  (Cory... you'll be with us, forever. I'll protect you, my little brother...)








Blitz:  CORY!!!


Blitz woke up from a long sleep, he was full of bandages and the moment he reached his hand to the cieling he felt extreme pain. Every single bone in his body was damaged, and he could barely move. After realizing he was only dreaming of his "little brother". He became blinded in tears.

Blitz:  *SOB* *SOB*  Cooory... Why...?  What happened to you...? Why didn't you remember meeee... *SOB* *SOB*?



Exile:  Blitzki!

The blue husky rushed to Blitz's sickbed as he heard him crying.

Exile:  You're very hurt, you need recovery!

Blitz:  Exile! What happened!! Where's Cory!! I have to save... URRGHH!! OW!!!

Blitz moaned in extreme pain from his wounds and fractures.

Exile:  Settle down, you idiot!! You need rest.

Blitz moaned in pain and sadness, he cried himself to sleep as Exile walked away from the sobbing doberman's sickbed.


Hunter:  Exile! Is he awake?

Hunter walked in.

Exile: Da, and he's suffering... it's all Geist's fault...

Hunter:  ...I see... We just have to let him rest for now... Oh, yeah! The master called for us... he wanted to talk to us about something.

Exile:  What could it be now...?


The two dogs walked to the main center of HQ to meet the master, Colleen, Shag, and Muzzle were waiting for them along with the master.


Master:  Rovers, I have to speak to you about something... Something very important...

Exile:  Is it about Cory?

Colleen:  Exile?

The master sighed heavily, and replied:


Master:   Yes, it's about Cory...

Hunter:   But master, Cory's...

Exile: Niet.

Hunter:  Huh?

Exile:  Cory is alive... I saw him with my own eyes... he seemed like he was bieng controlled by Geist, but...

The rest of the Rovers gasped in surprise.


Master:  Settle down, Rovers... There's something about Cory... That I did not tell you when you met him... something very important...

Colleen:  What about Cory, what else do you know about him, we already read the documents... we know of his past... what else is there...?

Master:  ...Yes... You see, Colleen... there were things about Cory that were not documented...  I'll have Professor Hubert brief you on the details... Ahem... professor?


Hubert:  Oh, already? Well then...

A few moments later, a brown bloodhound in a lab coat walked in the main center.


Hubert:  It's good to see you all. You've all been through so much, lately... especially  what happened to poor Cory... I admit I am just as sad as you all are... I didn't know him as well as you all, but he's still special to me as he was to all of you.


Master:  Alright. I'll start right from the beginning.


Hunter:  We're listening.


Master:  When I first found Cory, he was lying on the beach near HQ, barely alive and full of injuries, needless to say that shows how much he struggled escaping Parvo's grasp. However, before allowing him to become a cano-sapien, right after he was tended to his wounds... I asked for Cory to be breifly analized... needless to say my curiosity got the best of me... Hubert, please take over for me.


Hubert:  Ahem... this is a little difficult for me to explain it to you, but... here goes:  While we analized Cory's body, bieng a bloodhound and having one of the most sensitive noses of any dog breed I immediately felt a scent coming from him. However, the strange part is... the scent that I smelled was nothing like any other scent common with Pembroke Welsh Corgis. It's a kind of scent not found in any database... or like any other my nose came in contact with in all my years of experience...

Colleen:  A scent... you've never felt...?

Hubert:  We came to the conclusion that this particular scent emerges from an alien bacteria that was artificially implanted in Cory's body. As you already know, Cory was already dead when he was born. Thus we can only hypothise that Parvo used this mysterious bacteria to revive him... But that's not all there is to this bacteria.

Muzzle:  An... alien bacteria... Wait, so you're saying that Cory has alien bacteria in his body?

Hubert:  ...Yes. And that bacteria is the source of Cory's powers.

Exile:  ...When I saw partner back in the desert... I saw him with one red and another green eye instead of his blue eyes... does that have anything to do with the bacteria?

Hubert:   Yes, the change in his eyes are a manifestation of his powers, which according to a study... make Cory one of a kind. He is ten... no... a hundred times more powerful than any of you combined... If such a destructive power would fall into the wrong hands...

Hunter:  So... that's why Geist was always so interested in Cory... it was because of his powers...

Hubert:  That's right. Geist is most likely going to use Cory to carry out his plans... Now that appearently he is under his control...

Blitz: NO!!

Suddenly, an extremely injured, bandaged Blitz slowly and painfully walked in the main center, moaning but persistently walking towards the other Rovers.

Colleen:  Blitz!!

Shag:  [Muttering, Concerned with Blitz]

Exile:  I told you not to leave your bed!!


Blitz:   CORY HASN'T FORGOTTEN US!!! HE... LOVED US... HE WOULD NEVER HURT US!!! UGH! OWWW! WE HAVE TO SAVE HIM!!! I HAVE TO SAVE HIM... GEIST HAS TO BE STOPPED!!! CORY WOULD NEVER HURT US!!! HE WOULDN'T!!! ARGH... UGH...

Master:  Blitz... I understand how you feel...

Blitz:  TO HELL WITH YOU!!!! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO ####### HID ALL THAT FROM US!!! WHAT MADE YOU THINK IT WASN'T ####### IMPORTANT!!!? DO YOU REALIZE!!!? IF CORY IS REALLY THAT POWERFUL... UGH... HE HAS TO BE SAVED!!! HE CAN'T GET INVOLVED WITH GEIST ANY LONGER!!!

Suddenly, Blitz fainted, he wasn't able to handle all the information at once.

Muzzle:  ...Don't worry, master... we'll take Blitz back to his sickbed...

Master:  Yes... do that... and... we're very sorry.

Colleen:  ...It's alright... it was for our own protection... right?

Master:  Of course...








Meanwhile, thousands and many thousands of miles away, Geist, Prowl, and Sheng-Long  witness, as their "companion", Monster, recovers in a recovering capsule.


Geist:  Monster, can you hear me?

Monster:  ...Yes. I can hear you fine, Geist.

The orange corgi places his metallic, helmet like mask back on.

Prowl:  Back again huh? I though we'd lost you.

Sheng-Long:  Our plans not work without you, you best stay alive.

Monster:  ...

Geist looked at the masked corgi and smiled.

Geist:  He's right. Without you, our plan is worthless... we need your powers... just magnificent... the strongest cano-mutant in the planet, you will rid the entire world of the filth that rots it to the core. Let's get going. The nuclear weapons facility is not very far from here... You make me proud. Hehehehe....

Monster:  ...I...

Geist:  Hehehehaaaahahahahah HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAH!!!!!!!!!
