The Story Continues!! You're Reading To The Power of the Pack...Part 2!

Suddenly, the TV goes off. "Ah, they'll never find us," a familiar voice says. We then see the three in a hotel room, now wearing normal everyday clothes, "Like they'll recognize Jeff!" "Exactly," the Saluki says, as the bathroom door opens. "Phew," a border collie says, "I've been holding that forever!" "Tell me Henry," Greg says to Jeff, "Do you remember anything that happened to you before 5:00 PM?" "All I remember was a strange dream," Jeff, or Henry, replies, "One second I was in this strange room with these other dogs, who were named...um...I forgot, and I was locked in this cell, but then you freed me and I laughed at the others on my way out. Then I woke up!" "And do you recall anything about a Jeffrey Daniel Caninus?" Greg asks. "No, not a thing," Henry replies, "But it sounds familiar." Then, in comes Jeff, with sodas for the 4. "Here you go guys," Jeff says, "So we won't fall asleep while we're taking care of business, I guess you could say." "Good Jeffrey," Greg says, patting Jeff on the head, "We need a backup plan. Could you 2 go in the other one and make one up for me? 30 dog bones to each of you if it's good!" "Cool," Henry replies, "Thank you master Greg." "Welcome," Greg replies. Then, as the 2 leave, the Bulldog chuckles evily. "Ha ha ha ha, he's a perfect match of the real thing!" "He sure is," Greg says. "But why did you create another Jeff?" the Saluki asks, "Couldn't you have just erased his memory or something and then it would be just the same?" "Naw," Greg replies, "From what my cousin told me, it doesn't work that way. Besides, I'm planning on a counter attack from 3 certain droks. Now I have 3 to fend them off." "We're with you til the end, master," the Saluki replies. "Thank you," Greg says. Suddenly, Jeff and Henry re-enter the room. "Yes?" Greg asks. "Here it is," Henry, the border collie, says, giving him a sheet. "This IS good," Greg replies, and then, pulling out two bags of 30 dog bones, gives them to the two. "Good work," Greg adds, "We head out at 3 AM. Be ready."

Thursday, July 25th, or later that night
3:00 AM

We then see a lot of movement in the hotel room, and suddenly Greg hands Jeff a wrapped present. "Give this to your 'parents'," Greg replies. Jeff then smirks. "No prob," he adds. Suddenly, the five quickly and quietly exit the room, and head downstairs.

3:15 AM

Suddenly, we see the black truck pulling up to the castle. It then approaches the check point, where we see another German Shepherd drok, who asks, "Jeffrey?" We then see Jeff at the helm, and says, "Yes. I'm here. I need to see my parents quick!" "Well go right ahead!" he says. We then go to the trunk of the truck, where we see the other 4 playing a card game, that looks like Go Fish. "Got any 9s?" Henry asks. "No," Greg replies, "Go fish." The truck then suddenly stops. "I'm going in," Jeff says. "Hurry back," Greg replies, "It's set for 3:23 AM. That's 8 minutes from now. We have to be out of here by then." "Gotcha," Jeff says, pointing to his watch. Suddenly, Jeff enters the building, and inside he sees Cricket guarding the door. She growls at first as the door opens, but when she sees Jeff, she is relieved. However, she notices 2 things weird about him, that he isn't wearing a cap, which he has always done (and there is regular greyhound fur there), and that he has a black collar around his neck. But still, she "knows" it's Jeff. "Jeffy!" Cricket shouts, "Did you escape?" "I sure did," Jeff adds, then showing her the present says, "This is for my parents." "Here, I'll lead you to them," Cricket says, wondering what's inside. A few seconds later, the 2 arrive in Jeff's parents room. The 2 are wide awake, afraid at what's happened to their son. Suddenly, they jump up and hug Jeff, screaming, "JEFFREY!!! YOU'RE ALLRIGHT!!! THANK GOODNESS!!!" Jeff then hugs them, and remembers seeing their pictures on the plan sheet Greg gave him. He hugs them back, to make them think that he is the real thing. "I have a present for you," Jeff says, handing it to them. "I'll be right back," he continues, "Just have to get something from the car." Just as Jeff runs out of the room, Atilna opens the present, and is shocked to see a clock on 0:15. He then hears a ticking noise, and knows immediatley what it is. "A BOMB!!!" he shouts, and in a hurry he, Sherri, and Cricket jump out of the castle through a window. Cricket then lands right in a pile of brush next to Glenn and Dervish's room, and she knocks on their window. The two immediatley go to the window, both unable to sleep as well, and mouths the word "bomb" out. Dervish and Glenn then look stunned, and Dervish throws the baseball he was tossing around through the window, breaking the glass. He then quickly jumps out, and pulls Glenn out, just as the bomb goes off. The five then run away from the building, as it explodes. Meanwhile, outside the building, the truck is pulling away. Just as it is about to leave the building, Greg, now in control of the truck, with a weapon in hand. He then fires it at the German Shepherd guard drok, and a familiar gas leaks out, and the drok goes unconsious. The truck then pulls away from the exploding truck. "What a fool," the bulldog says, looking at his watch, that reads 3:18. "He actually trusted us!" "He had to," Greg reminds him, as the truck pulls away from the scene of the crime.

6:00 AM
What's Left of the Royal Castle, Royal City

We then see a search crew pulling away Jeff's body from the rubble that's left of the castle. We then see the 5: Atilna, Sherri, Cricket, Dervish, and Glenn, scraped and bruised, but still alive. Still shocked at what he did, they stare at his body. "Wait a second!" Sherri says, noticing that he isn't wearing a cap and is wearing a collar. But neither of those is why she knows. "He has greyhound hair on the top of his head!! When Jeff was changed to a human in his early days with the Road Rovers on Earth, he permanently gained human hair on his head!! That was the bad thing about the past speciesmafier that the Master invented, and the transdogmafier too. They were great inventions, but there was one problem to them. They either didn't fully transform, or they left some thing from their past existance on them! He doesn't have that!" "What?" everyone but Atilna asks. "It's a long story," Sherri replies. She then pulls off his collar, and suddenly, his body shrivels up into a piece of cardboard. Everyone but Sherri is shocked. "Glenn must have some relative up here helping him out," Sherri says, "They must have invented a speciesmafier that could change anything into anything basically. They took a piece of cardboard, and made it an exact copy of Jeff!" she explains, "So Jeff is still out there, kidnapped." "And those same kidnappers must have invented this copy of Jeff," Atilna adds. Suddenly, we see Dervish at his laptop, at a webpage. "Says here that Glenn had a brother named Greg, older brother, that believed in the same things he did," he explains. "Me?" Glenn asks. "No, and imposter of you," Sherri replies, "Who recked havoc in the royal family." "That's not good," Cricket says. "Definetly not," Dervish adds, "So, where should we head?" "Glenn grew up in Magershorn," Sherri says, "We tracked him back to his trouble making young days. So obviously..." "Greg grew up there too," Glenn says. "Yup," Atilna says, "Off to Magershorn."

12 Noon
Magershorn

We then see the black truck arriving at a large house in the suburbs of Magershorn. The garage door then pulls in, and out hop Greg, the Saluki, the bulldog, and Henry. The car then stops, and the 4 get out and enter the house. "This will be the headquarters of our army," Greg announces, "My home." "Thanks master," Henry says, "But how can we be sure the royal family is gone?" "Turn on the news," Greg says. Suddenly, the same news, 12 News, pops on, since Magershorn is more like a suburb of the bigger Royal City, and 12 News is the biggest network in Royal City. Ok, ok, sorry for the lesson, you don't have to snore! Geez! Oh well, on with the show. "The explosion leveled the building, but luckily no lives were lost. Though it appeared that Jeff had set this and died in it, it was discovered that this Jeff was just a copy of the real Jeff. It was created by some strange machine that changed a piece of cardboard into a copy of him. Right now Greg Danish of Magershorn is being held responsible for this incident. If..." "They know!" the Saluki exclaims, as Greg turns off the TV. Suddenly, the front door bursts open. "We sure do," Atilna says. The 4 gasp. "Looks like you're outnumbered now," Dervish threatens, "Give up." "Never!" Greg shouts, as he trows his computer chair at Dervish. Dervish ducks, and Glenn catches it, and throws it back at him. It hits him in the top of the head, and a large bruise forms on his head, and he is slightly dazed. "Master!" Henry exclaims, then, turning to the Glenn, "You must pay!" Suddenly, Henry jumps at Glenn, but Glenn dodges him, and scrapes his collar. As Henry goes falling to the ground, his collar goes off with it, and suddenly Henry turns back into Jeff. "Jeff!" Glenn shouts, "Are you free of the curse?" "Wh...where am I?" Jeff asks. "You're okay son," Atilna says. "Dad!" Jeff shouts, "Is it good to see you again." "Same son," Atilna says. Suddenly, Greg throws down a little bomb like thing, and he disappears, while the other 2 remain. Dervish then flashes out his whip, and ties the two up with it. They try and break free, but they are so stunned by their master's disappearence that they don't. Glenn then removes their collars, and two wise old Shetland Sheepdog droks appear. "Mom! Dad!" Dervish exclaims. "Son," the wife says, "Is it glad to see you again. One day we were in that house you built for us, the next we didn't know where we were." "It's okay mom," Dervish says, "The nigtmare is over." "Well, not quite," Sherri says, "Greg is still at large, but I'm sure we'll track him down. But right now, I think it's important that you four got back to your tour!" "Right!" Glenn exclaims, "We've already lost one date on our tour! We can't afford anymore!" "Yup," Cricket adds, "But the good thing its tht our next performance is here in Magershorn." "True," Dervish says, "We're back on tour!" "Yeah baby, yeah!" Jeff says. Everyone then looks at Jeff weird. "Sorry," Jeff says, "Earth talk." "I guess," Cricket says, as she rolls on the floor laughing, "I didn't know that Colleen was here!" Embarrassed, Jeff blushes. We then see the band playing their "Fun House" song again, and then an original hit entitled "Party Time" at 2 different concerts on 2 different days. So, we fast forward 1 day to...

Saturday, July 27th
Royal City, Final Stop on Tour
6:00 PM

We then see a large stage, and to our right, the remains of the Royal Castle, that has already begun rebuilding after it's tragic collapse just 3 days ago. Then, up to the stage, are gathered thousands of droks, as well as Atilna and Serda themselves, and parts of the Royal Council of Caninus sitting with them at the front of the stage. "Should be a good show," one of the members says, "I hear your son has been 'chilling' with the group." "Sure has," Atilna adds, "He's had a wonderful time, after of course the castle blew up and he was forcefully changed into a border collie serving a brother of a imposter of our Glenn." "Huh?" the member asks. "Forget it," Atilna replies. "Easily," the member replies. Meanwhile, up on the stage, the festivities are just kicking off. A small Jack Russel Terrier then walks to the middle of the stage, pulls down a microphone hanging from the roof, and says, "Welcome everyone to tonight's concert at Royal City on the Planet of Caninus! We'll have the Howling Musicians with their hit "Drok's Life," and an appearence by our very own Roaring Diplomats, featuring their hits "Welcome To The Fun House" and "Superstars." The crowd then cheers very loudly.

8:00 PM
Royal City MusicFest

We then see the Howling Musicians backstage, warming up for "Drok's Life." They continue to glance madly over at the next band, our Roaring Diplomats. "They still haven't forgotten it," Cricket says. "Ah, they'll get over it, after a good show tonight," Dervish adds, "And hopefully we'll have a good show as well." "Definetly," Glenn says, "Or else our hometown crowd will be very, very, upset." The crowd then cheers as the band on the stage finishes, and over the loudspeaker we hear "And now...the Roaring Musicians!" "Good luck!" Dervish says to them. They don't answer. We then follow them as they walk to the stage, until suddenly, the floor opens right beneath them right as they are about to hit the stage! The 6 scream and drop their instruments, which follow them down the hole, until they hit bottom, on a wooden floor with one light on, making the room very dark. They then look up quickly and shout, but to no avail as the door closes above them. Then, suddenly, Greg walks toward the 6 with 5 new warriors, a Great Dane, a Swedish Vallhund, Boxer, a Bullmastiff, and a Mastiff. All big, working group droks. "Drok!" Greg shouts, the Caninus version of saying "Man!", "Wrong group!" "What should we do with them?" the Bullmastiff asks. "Make them part of our army," Greg says, "That way those Roaring Diplomats will have no chance against us!" Suddenly, we go back to the stage and crowd, where we see Jerry Weimeraner and Jeff. They are both backstage, and have both seen what just happened, since they were rising and closing the curtains for the show. Jerry, nearest to the trapdoor, saw it first, and Jeff saw them falling on the other side of the stage. We then join the 2. "They just...fell through the stage!" Jerry exclaims, and then pointing, says, "Right there!" "I know," Jeff says, "How very weird! Who could it have been?" "I don't know," Jerry replies, "But I've got a baaaaaad feeling about this." "Well, what should we do?" Jeff asks, "Get help, or go on in?" "We might as well get the others," Jerry says. He then runs backstage to the warm up area to get the 3 Roaring Diplomats. Meanwhile, the crowd is in mass confusion. "Well...they WERE supposed to be on stage by now," Sherri says. Atilna then turns to the crowd, who are chanting, "We want the Diplomats! We want the Diplomats!" "And anxious too," Atilna adds, "Even if they are cheering the right thing." Meanwhile, Jerry has gathered up the 3, and Jeff has joined them. "Right here huh?" Cricket asks. "Yup," Jeff replies, "Weird, eh?" "Too weird," Dervish says, "Should we save them?" "I don't know," Jeff replies, "They seemed pretty mad when I kicked that one in the shin." "But what if they are in some kind of grave danger," Cricket says, "You know, like Jeff was in. If we save them, then..." "CONTRACT!!" Glenn shouts. "STAR BILLING!!" Dervish shouts. "We're going in," Cricket adds, as she starts jumping up and down on the area, but it refuses to open. "It won't open," Glenn says. "No doiski," Cricket replies, "How are we going to get down there?" Suddenly, Jerry points to some steps leading downstairs. "This is to the dressing rooms," Jerry says, "Maybe they're down there." "Worth a try," Glenn adds, as the 5 head downstairs. We then see Glenn opening the doors to the rooms, and as he looks in, girl droks always scream. He always says "Sorry," and Dervish always puts a paw across Jerry's face. Then, in the 13th room, Glenn fails to open the door. He then knocks on it, and gets no answer, and then, trying to open the door, realizes that it is locked. He then looks under the door, and sees that the lights are out. "If this isn't it, he's not in a dressing room," Glenn says. "No problem," Jeff says, as he easily tears the doors out of the socket. "How'd you do that?" Glenn asks. "My parents," Jeff replies, since they gave him the gift of strength. "Cool," Glenn replies, "I think." The five then creep into the room secretly and quietly, and look in. They then see 12 droks like them, but similarly different. Black collars, black hats, black suits with golden buttons on them. In other words, Greg's Army! "It's him!" Glenn whispers, "Again! I can't believe it!" "So that's where he went," Jeff whispers, "Not far. Do you think 6 of those guys could be the Howling Musicians?" "I wouldn't be suprised," Cricket replies, "Especially after what they did to you." "And my parents," Dervish replies, "He must have voted for the other guy or something." "Most likely," Jeff says, "Who was the other guy anyway?" "Long story," Dervish replies, "We'll tell you about it later. First, let's take care of these guys." Suddenly, Greg turns to his expanded army, and says, "Welcome Howling Musicians," he says. Jeff, Jerry, Glenn, Cricket, and Dervish nod their heads, unsuprised. "This is your enemy," Greg says, holding up a picture of the Roaring Diplomats, and another of Jeff. One of them says, "That's not easy to hate." The Roaring Diplomats and Jeff and Jerry both growl quietly. "Good boy," Greg repliles. "Ahem," the dog says. "I mean girl," Greg adds, embarrassed, "Now, attack!" The 12 then leave the dressing room, leaving the other 5 behind. As the 12 are gone and have closed the door, the 5 get up and start to format a plan. "So, what should we do?" Jerry asks, "We need to do something." Jeff, thinking, says, "Do you guys have any type of...gun up here?" "No," Dervish says, "They're outlawed. Besides, there's basically no way to get them. They've become extinct up here." "Then we'll give them the Star treatment," Jeff says, "Huddle up!" The 5 then go into a football huddle, and begin discussing the plan. Meanwhile, we follow Greg and his warriors walking up the stairs to the top of the stage. Suddenly, reaching it, they look out at a smaller crowd, since many of the droks have left since there has been no music for 15 minutes. However, the Royal Council and Jeff's parents still remain. Suddenly, Greg hops on to the stage, pulls down the microphone, and says, "Ladies and gentlemen of Caninus!" The crowd, shocked, watches as Greg pulls out a gun, and fires it up into the air, "Surrender! I'm the one with a gun! Ha ha ha ha ha!!" Suddenly, security guards try to wrap up Greg, but his 12 warriors keep the guards away from him, and knock them back into the crowd. Meanwhile, downstairs, the huddle has just broken, and then, 2 seconds later, the gun has fired. "No way," Dervish says. "Glenn must have sent that to his brother too," Jeff suggests, "If they couldn't take over Earth, then they could take over Caninus." "That explains the bomb then," Cricket says. "And the speciesmafiermathingy," Glenn adds. "Exactly," Jeff says, "If they took us both over, two universes would be in jeapordy. Let's make sure that none of them are. Follow the plan." The 5 then quickly run up the stairs to the stage. When they get there, they see the 11 warriors surrounding Greg in a circle, and furious security guards trying to capture Glenn, but being tackled off by the guards. Meanwhile, almost all of the crowd has made a run for it, and the Royal Family and Royal Council are in the back of the building, trying their best to avoid Greg and his army.
