AN: Yep I'm starting another story, because why not? The fanfic, that I enjoyed to write the most, was the time travel one. 'Time violation' So why shouldn't I write another one like that? Time travel is a tough topic, but I will do my best. Do I have an ending in mind? Nope, absolutely not...

Full summary: What would be If I told you, your world isn't the original one? What would be if you lived in a timeline, that was altered by someone, but you didn't even know about it? When a pup appears at the lookout, with the same kind of pup tag, that every member has, everything changes. As they knew there were only 6 main paw patrol members. Marshall, Rubble, Chase, Artie, Zuma, and Skye. But who is this mysterious 7th member then?

Two cars and an ATV approached the lookout after another successful mission. Alex did, what he usually does, and tried to help his dad with the cooking, while he was away gathering supplies for the desserts. Alex accidentally left the oil on the fire too long, and it caught on fire too. While panicking, he tried to save the situation, by pouring water on the burning oil, making this scenario even worse. The flames went higher, and after this, he admitted he couldn't do anything, and called the paw patrol for help. Fortunately, he survived this without any injuries but half of the restaurant had burn marks on the walls. After extinguishing the fire, painting the walls back, and fixing the oven, the paw patrol left another successful mission behind their back. Marshall the fire pup, Ryder the team leader, and Artie the mechanic, and repair-pup parked their vehicles on their all-time places.

Artie applied to the paw patrol, after learning they were looking for a new member. He was more than honored when they accepted him as a new recruit. As a dachshund he wasn't that tall, making him unable to do most of the tasks, that taller dogs could. But to fix things, he didn't need extreme heights, so he can do what he likes. His car was a simple White-Black van with a lot of tools in it. Before each mission, he picked the ones that needed and put them into his pup pack one by one. He was really interested in science too. In his free time, he either played with his friends or made researches about anything he was interested in. Everyone enjoyed his company, and they accepted him not only as a team member but a close friend.

It was around 9 in the evening, so it was one of the few occasions when they arrived back in dark.

"Alex should really learn from his mistakes." Marshall claimed, "Like seriously it was the thousandth time we had to help him."

"He is just a kid." Ryder said." He will learn eventually… at least I hope so."

"What do you think Artie?" Marshall asked. "Artie? Where are you?"

"In front of you, you dummy. You are standing on my ear." He chuckled. This wasn't the first time Marshall stepped on it, as Artie was really hard to notice in the dark, because of his black fur, plus he had really big ears, compared to a small body.

"Oops… Sorry." He said nervously and immediately raised his paw.

"It's okay. I got used to it during the years." He shook his head.

Suddenly some noises can be heard from the bush. It was really quiet, and weak, but all the three of them managed to understand it. The voice said only one-word "Help." Right after that, a pup stepped out of the dark. He was in a really bad condition, and right after they spotted him, then he fell to the ground. Marshall immediately ran towards the new visitor, to check his life signs. His heart wasn't pounding normally, once it was fast, but in a few seconds, it changed back to normal then slowed down to a dangerous slowness. The same was going on with everything. He took breaths irregularly, his paws were shaking, just like his head. These symptoms combined, created something that Marshall hasn't met before.

"I don't know what is going on with him. I don't know what to do." He whined and just stood there, looking at the pup, who was definitely in pain. Once more he raised his head and whispered

"Marshall…" This is the only thing he could say, and he passed out immediately.

The dally was shocked. Not only he saw something, that was odd, but this pup knew his name too, even though they have never met before.

"Umm Ryder… You haven't given anyone pup-tags, right?" Artie asked a little bit concerned.

"No… why?"

"He has one too. Look!" As he pointed at the pup's neck, everyone saw his collar and a recycling sign on it. "It looks exactly like your work, Ryder.."

"Well, it's definitely not…" He noted in a confused tone. "Let's take him inside. Maybe we will know more when he wakes up."

As they slowly took him to the lookout, taking care to not make his condition worse, everyone gathered around this new guest. By some miracle, everything went back to normal. He was breathing normally, and his heartbeat wasn't switching between speeds. anything it was, it's gone for now

"All right, I've seen interesting things, like aliens, and mer-pups, but this is far the weirdest thing, that I ever witnessed," Chase claimed and looked at Ryder. "How is it possible, that he has a same kind of pup-tag as everyone in this team? I mean, Everest has one just like Tracker, but this… How?

"Ask something easier… But if I had to guess, I would say he belongs to another rescue group.

"How did he know Marshall's name then?" Artie pointed out

"There must be a reasonable answer to this too. "

"Is he going to be fine?" Skye asked

"We can't be sure." Marshall replied "Those symptoms were… Interesting. He is fine for now, but I can't say anything for tomorrow. Could be post-traumatic stress, but really unlikely. He was like someone after running across the whole country."

"I hope he will wecovew soon," Zuma added

"He will be able to give some answers in the morning. For now, we should give him some space." The team leader said as he sent away everyone, and they slowly left the room, except for Ryder. "Who are you?" He mumbled as he kept looking at the sleeping pup and his pup-tag. He was sure and unsure at the same time. This style of pup-tag definitely looked like his work, but how did this pup get that? How did he get here? There were a lot of questions forming in his mind at the moment, but no answer was found to any of that at the moment.

AN: I know, this chapter was a short one, but don't worry. It's only the prologue.
