Setting:
Road Rover Mission Control. Jax and Jamal are new recruits to the force and are being welcomed by former rookies Vicky and Tun.

Vicky:
(Excited)
They are almost here. I wonder what they look like.

Tun:
(Looks at Vicky)
Easy girl, you have a boy friend. How Blitz feel to find his girlfriend cheating on him with a rookie.

Voice:
(Sternly)
Wouldn’t be too happy. That’s for sure.

Vicky:
(Surprised)
Blitzie. Hi.

Blitz:
(Looking at Vicky with concern)
Hi Vicky. Little excited eh?

Vicky:
(Smiles with excitement)
Yeah. I like meeting new people.

Master:
(Smiles)
Looks like they’re here.

A sound goes off. And the front doors open.

Tun:
(Nervous)
This is it.

Out of the shadows comes to males Canines. One is a Red Siberian Husky. And the other is Japanese Spitz.

Vicky:
(Surprised)
Oh, cuties.

Blitz:
(Snickers)
He, looks like push overs to me.

Vicky:
(Disgusted with Blitz)
Oh be quiet.

The two new Rovers move in closer and seem to be getting bigger.

Tun:
(Surprised)
Getting bigger.

Finally the two new canines stop right in front of Blitz.

Blitz:
(Looking up at the Husky.)
You’re a big one aren’t ya? What’s your name Husky boy.

Jax:
(Sternly)
Jax. Jax Briggson. I heard what you said about us looking like push overs to you.

Blitz:
(Nervous)
I…I was just kidding.

Jax:
(Sternly)
Ok. Remember I may be a rookie, but that doesn’t mean I won’t defend myself. Whether it is verbally…or physically.

Blitz:
(Nervous)
Ok. No problem.

Jax steps away from Blitz.

Master:
(Little surprised.)
Well, I see you’ve met Jax. The Japanese Spitz here is Jamal. These two will be working with for a while.

Vicky approaches Jax and Jamal.

Vicky:
(Smiling)
It’s a pleasure to meet you guys.

Jamal:
(smiling)
It’s a pleasure to meet you to.

Vicky:
I’m Vicky, and the Doberman is Blitz.

Jax:
(Smiling)
Hi Blitz, we’ve already met.

Blitz:
(Little embarrassed/pissed)
Uh. Yeah.

Vicky:
And the other guy is Tun.

Tun waves at the rookies.

Tun:
(Smiling)
Hi guys.

Jax and Jamal wave back.

Jax:
(Waving) Hi dude.

Tun walks up and stands in front of Jax. And looks straight up at his face.

Tun:
(Surprised)
Wow dude. You’re huge. How tall are you?

Master:
Tun. You know it’s not polite to ask those questions.

Jax:
It’s ok. I don’t mind. I’m 7”2.

Tun:
(Surprised)
Whoa, you can play for the NBA.

Jax:
(Has the, “Yeah, ok, sure” look on his face.)
Thanks.

Jamal:
Could someone show us to our rooms?

Vicky:
I will.

Master:
(Smiles)
Thank you Vicky.

Vicky:
(Smiles)
No problem. Follow me boys.

Vicky leads Jax and Jamal down the hallway tot two empty rooms right next to each other.

Vicky:
(Hands them the keys)
Here ya go. I’ll be back in the main office if you need anything.

Vicky exits. Jax and Jamal look at their key, then each other and head into their rooms. Once they open the doors they plenty pleased with the results.

Jax:
(Smilies)
Nice room. Like the color.

Jamal walks into Jax’s room.

Jamal:
Not bad eh?

Jax:
Nope, not bad at all.

Jamal:
That Vicky is pretty cute. I think she hay like you.

Jax:
(Confused)
Really?

Jamal:
Why don’t you ask her out, take a chance?

Jax:
(Blunt)
No way. She’ll probably laugh at me cause I’m rookie.

Jamal:
(Surprised)
Dude, I’m sure she isn’t that kind of girl. Take a chance dude. You’ll never know until you try.

Jax:
(Nervous)
Ok, I’ll give it try.

Jamal:
(Smiles)
That a boy. Go get em.

Jax and Jamal exit and walk back to the main office of Road Rover Head Quarters. Jax peeks in the office and finds Vicky talking to Tun. Blitz is no where to be found. Jax quickly pulls his head back from the door.

Jax:
(Extremely Nervous)
Ok, she’s inside. I don’t know if I can do it.

Jamal:
Pull yourself together. Go ask her.

Jax:
Ok.

Jax walks in as Jamal watches from the doorway.

Jax:
(Nervous)
Uh…hi Vicky.

Vicky:
(Smiles)
Hi.

Jax:
(Thinking to himself.)
Come on Jax, you can do this. Just ask her.

Vicky:
(Smiling)
What’s up?

Jax:
(Extremely Nervous)
Uh…I was wondering…if…

Vicky:
(Curious)
If what?

Jax:
(Extremely nervous)
If…you would…go out with me.

Jamal watches with excitement/happiness.

Jamal:
(Whispering)
Yes, he did it. Now for the answer.

Vicky:
(Sad)
No.

Jax:
(Crushed)
No? Why?

Vicky:
(Nervous)
Cause I…

Voice:
(Sternly)
Cause she’s going out with me.

Blitz enters the room.

Blitz:
(Sternly)
Sorry, but your to late big guy. She’s my girl.

Jax:
(Shocked)
Is this true?

Vicky:
(Sadly)
Yes. I’m going out with Blitz.

Jax:
(Sad.)
Ok, please excuse me. I have to go.

Jax quickly exits the room in disbelief and disgust.

Blitz:
(Cocky)
Maybe next big boy.

Vicky looks at Blitz in disgust.

Vicky:
(Digusted)
Blitz, I love you. But you can be a real jerk sometimes.

Vicky walks out on Blitz and exits.

Blitz:
(Confused)
What?

Master:
(Mad)
You know exactly what. What you did was uncalled for.

Blitz:
(Confused)
Well, he had no right to move in on my girl.

Master:
(Mad)
He didn’t know Vicky was going out with you until you came in like an airhead and said what you said. I want you to apologize for what you did to him. He’s only a rookie.

Blitz:
(Mad)
Fine. I’ll apologize.

Just as Blitz was about to exit there was a huge explosion and a loud scream from Vicky.

Vicky:
Help me!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!

Blitz quickly runs out of the room screaming Vicky’s name.

Blitz:
(Seriously concerned)
Vicky!

He runs to the scene and finds nothing except a note. He picks up the note and quickly skims right through it.

Blitz:
(Shocked)
Oh no. Master!.

Settings: Parvo’s Bulldog ship.
We are in the Prison cells. It looks damp, muddy, and cruel. There is only one prison cell in a large room. Cano-mutants along with Parvo and “escorting” the Master and Vicky toward the cell. They are screaming and trying to get out of the mutant’s strong hold but it is no use. He is simply too strong for them. The mutants throw them in the cell together and locks the door. Parvo sneers at the two captured companions.

Parvo
(evil)
So how does it feel to be trapped in some crappy cell with no food or anything to eat? How does it feel?

Master
(Angry)
I could care less about answering your stupid questions. What I do care about is that my rovers WILL come and save me and Vicky. All I have to do is wait.

Parvo sneers even more at the Master’s comment.

Parvo
(amused)
Ooooooo the rovers! Sorry but I made sure that they can’t track us. What better way than to come in, make a explosion, surprise you in your OWN base, and steal what I need with all the confusion. Pure genius I tell you!

Vicky
(smug)
The only thing genius is that we will get saved. But since your so stupid to comprehend what im saying, let me break it down to your little pea sized brain. YOU...ARE....SCREWED!

Parvo gets angry and then grabs Vicky through the bars and slaps her hard in the face. The mutants laugh.

Parvo
(smug)
Don’t speak unless I tell you to slut! I will have lots of fun killing you! And your pathetic master! Losers! Don’t disrespect a species greater than you!

Vicky growls under her breath and then Parvo and the rest leave. All they can do now is wait.
Settings: Road Rovers Gym.
There are various work out machines here. A mirror at the end of the room reflects anyone that comes in. Jax, Jamal and Tun are here working out. Their muscles are beaming. Blitz runs in, looking alarmed. The three stare at him.

Jax
(smug)
What you do? Break a claw?

Blitz looks at him EXTREMELY annoyed.

Blitz
(angry)
This is no time for jokes! Vicky and the Master have been captured and we need to get them back now!

Jax looked really alarmed when he said Vicky and he, along with Jamal and Tun, got up to his feet.

Jax
(alarmed)
How do you know?

Blitz
(blunt)
I found a note from Parvo. He simply wrote that he captured them both. Luckily for me, I put a tracking bug on their spaceship. But now is not the time to start talking and having some yadda yadda conversation. We have to get to them now!

Jamal
(concerned)
Alright then. Lets do it. And don’t worry Blitz. She and the Master are gonna be ok. I guarantee that.

Blitz nods weakly and they all rush toward Mission Control.

Settings: Road Rovers Mission Control.
There is a table in the middle of this room with chairs around it. A huge tv screen is in front of the table. There is a computer console next to the tv screen. Blitz starts typing furiously into it and starts to print something out. He looks at the three in triumph.

Blitz
(glad)
Got em! Now lets get to that ship and teach that girly...cat...human...thing who is boss!

Settings: Parvo’s Bulldog Ship
We are back in the prison cells. Vicky and the Master look pretty glum. Not for the long though, Parvo and some cano-mutants come in and roughly grab them both and escort them out of the room. Vicky looks at Parvo with all the hate she can muster.

Vicky
(hateful)
Where are you taking us now sh*t for brains?

Parvo looks like he is about to slap her again.

Parvo
(controlled)
None of your concern. But I’ll let you in on a little secret.

Parvo stares into Vicky’s eyes.

Parvo
(evil)
It’s a place where you are going to die. That’s all I will say. Now keep your trap shut you filthy trash!

Parvo goes back to walking. Vicky then with all the strength she can come up with, backward kicks her captures legs and the mutants trips and falls on the ground. Vicky then grabs a pistol from the cano-mutants waist and she grabs the Master, then runs down the hall. The mutants start groaning. Parvo is simply shocked.

Parvo
(shocked)
What just......the hell...no matter! MUTANTS, GET THEM!

The mutants quickly get up and run down the hall. Parvo walks down the other hallway.

Settings: The Sky.
Clouds are going by fast cause we are following the speed of the Rover jet. The sun is quickly going down into the mountains, its gaze making the jet look like a golden eagle. We go inside the jet.

Settings: Rover jet.
There are seats on each side of the jet, making a walkway in between. Blitz is seen walking back and forth down the walkway. Jax is flying the plane in the cockpit, while Jamal and Tun are seating in the seats. Tun is slightly getting annoyed seeing Blitz walk back and forth.

Tun
(annoyed)
Hey Blitz, calm down. We are gonna get your boyfriend. Juts shimmer down and take a seat.

Blitz sits down but bites his nails in the process.

Jamal
(blunt)
Yea Tun is right. Just think nice happy thoughts of you and Vicky.

Blitz ponders and then smiles, deep in thought. Tun and Jamal look at each other amused. Jax just laughs from the cockpit. But he stops laughing when he sees the bulldog flying in the sky. Jax turns toward the rovers.

Jax
(alarmed)
Guys there it is! And what a sight to behold!

The three others look out toward their windows. They see the bulldog in all its glory, and Jamal whistles.

Blitz
(rushy)
Just hurry up and get us in! I want to rescue my master and my pretty girl doggie!!!!

Jax shakes his head, then blasts a hole in the bulldog. Then they proceed to land inside.

Settings: Parvo’s Bulldog Ship.
We see Vicky and the Master running down a hallway. A cano-mutant steps through a doorway but before he could do anything Vicky shoots him dead center through between his eyes. The mutant slumps down to the ground, dead.

Master
(concerned)
Was that really necessary?

Vicky
(urgent)
Yes. It was ether him or us. But now time to discuss that now. We have to get out of here!

The two cano-mutants that had the two before were quickly catching up. They started shooting at Vicky and she got shot in the arm. She yelled in pain and stooting back, hitting the mutant in the stomach, making him fall to the floor. The second mutant dock for cover in the room. Vicky who is limping, continued running with the master.

Master
(alarmed)

You need to get that treated and fast!

Vicky
(urgent)
No time. We just gotta find a space pod and get the hell out of here!

The Master nods grimly. The run as fast as they can through the hallways and another mutant pops out of a room. Vicky in slow motion runs off the wall and does a jump kick into the mutants chin, and while still in the air fires three shots into the mutants chest. The mutant flies against the wall, blood smearing the wall and he falls over. Vicky lands gracefully. The Master starts clapping but Vicky grabs him and they keep running.

Vicky
(smug)
Thanks for the applause but we gotta keep moving!

They soon run into Blitz, Jax, Jamal, and Blitz. Vicky hugs Blitz and Jax looks sadly at them. But he thought to himself “I’ll find that special someone for me. Vicky is just not the one.”

Jamal
(smug)
Family reunion! As much cute as you two look with each other, its time to head out! We can continue this later.

They all nod and they run out of the hallway but Parvo with two sub machine guns in each hand, stops them in their tracks. He smiles.

Parvo
(pleased)
I got you all where I want to. CANO-MUTANTS!

Three mutants come in but before they can get to them Blitz extends his claws and starts running toward them. He does a slash uppercut into one’s chin the a back flip kick into one’s face then spins toward the last one and jumps in the air, and slashes him across the face. The mutant starts screaming and grabs his face, crying. Blitz jumps back down and looks back at Parvo, angry and hate in his eyes.

Blitz
(hate)
Ok Parvo. Give it up....NOW!

Parvo just laughs at him.

Parvo
(laughing)
As you can see, I have the guns and you simply have claws! What can you guys do about it?

Tun smiles at that and electricity comes out of his hands. It zaps the gun and turns it into smithereens. Everyone is shocked.

Jax
(shocked)
So that’s your power? Cool man!

Master
(pleased)
That is why I picked you. Your have amazing powers. I knew you had it in you Rover!

Parvo starts to back away and runs into a secret passage way. Then a computer voice starts talking.

Computer
(robotic)
Ship will destroy in 5 minutes! Ship will destroy in 5 minutes.

Everyone gasps then they run for it. 4 minutes after running through hallways, rooms filled with computers, and doorways, they make it to the ship bay. The only have one minute left. They start the Rover start but it won’t move. They are shocked.

Jax
(confused)
Why won’t this damn thing start? I made sure it was in good condition!

Blitz looks around and sees a mini bulldog space pod. It looks big enough to fit all of them.

Blitz
(urgent)
Nien! No time to wonder why it won’t start! We can take this space pod right here!

Everyone looks toward where Blitz is pointing at. They all run toward it and squeeze in. They all barely fit.

Blitz
(squirming)
One of you guys need to tone down your muscles!

Jax and Jamal growl at him, then Vicky starts the space pod up and they barely escape, just as the bulldog escapes in a tremendous explosion! Multiple explosions follow like a fireworks show. They all stare in awe.

Tun
(blunt)
Well what you look at that! What I’m wondering now is that, did Parvo survive?

The rest ponder that as they fly on toward the base, wondering what new adventures lie ahead of them.

The End!
