MISSION PAW: PUPS & THE TRI-KINGDOM TOURNAMENT

I DON'T OWN PAW PATROL ONLY MY OC'S

It was Monday morning. School had just started & everyone was in 1ST class. Miss Spearwood's leg still hadn't fully recovered but she was feeling better than she did a few weeks ago. As class began Miss Spearwood addressed the students.

"Good morning everyone. Before we begin today's lesson we have a new student in her class. I'm sure she'd be happy telling you all a bit about herself" said Miss Spearwood as a girl with white skin, blue eyes & blonde-white hair wearing a white short-sleeve dress, a straw hat that had a similar appearance to Farmer Yumi's, long white socks & black clip on shoes walked to the front of class.

"Hello everyone. My name is Mayabella Simmons. I'm 10 years old & I moved here from Meadow Peninsula. I'm really excited to get to know you all & I hope I fit in well here" said Mayabella.

"This Mayabella girl seems really sweet. Her outfit has a nice summery look to it. I think me & the others are going to like her" thought Elias as Mayabella went back to her seat. The rest of 1ST period went by as it normally would. 2ND period also came & went without incident. At recess Mayabella played by herself. She found it hard to approach other kids because she felt too shy to go over to people when they were in groups.

"I wish I didn't find it so hard to approach other people. Hopefully I'll make some new friends soon" thought Mayabella as she sat on the swing. Elias & Kelly watched her play & felt bad that she seemed to be lonely.

"That Mayabella girl seems really nice. I think she might be the type of person who finds it hard to approach others" said Elias.

"Perhaps we should go over & break the ice" said Kelly.

"Good idea. Maybe she'll open up after we get to know her" said Elias.

"Let's do it" said Kelly as Elias & her went over to Mayabella.

"Hi Mayabella. Nice to meet you. I'm Elias & this is my girlfriend Kelly" said Elias.

"Welcome to Adventure Bay" said Kelly.

"Thanks. I'm glad that I'm starting to fit in" said Mayabella as she shook Elias & Kelly's hands.

"I think you'll love it here" said Elias.

"This is a lovely place to live. You'll fit right in" said Kelly.

"That's what I hope for. I can't wait to get to know everyone else" said Mayabella.

Elias, Kelly & Mayabella spent the rest of recess playing together. 3RD & 4TH period came & went with nothing unusual happening. At lunch Elias & Kelly brought Mayabella over to where they usually sat.

"These are our other friends" said Elias.

"Having more friends is such a great feeling" said Kelly.

"Nice to meet you all" said Mayabella.

"Nice to meet you too. I'm Ace" said Ace.

"My name's Carlos" said Carlos.

"Hi I'm Danny" said Danny.

"I'm Katie" said Katie.

"I'm Ryder" said Ryder.

Mayabella proceeded to shale everyone's hands.

"How has your day been so far Mayabella?" asked Elias.

"It's been pretty good. I'm having a great day" said Mayabella.

"That's wonderful. I hope you enjoy every moment you live here" said Kelly.

"Me too. My time here has already been good, so I think there are better things to come" said Mayabella.

Throughout the rest of lunch Mayabella told everyone about her life in Meadow Peninsula & what it was like before moving to Adventure Bay. During last period Elias was given an envelope. To his surprise it was from the Princess Of Barkingburg. He opened the envelope & read the letter inside.

"Dear Elias. You're invited to compete in the Barkingburg Tri-Kingdom Tournament. You & 23 other Adventure Bay kids will compete against each other in a 3-round tournament. The winner will receive a special prize that will be revealed at the end of the tournament. I really hope you can make it. You & the other participants are required to come to Barkingburg this afternoon. Over the next week the tournament will be held. I hope to see you soon. Sincerely, Princess Of Barkingburg" read the letter.

"How exciting. I can't wait to see what this tournament will be like. I wonder who else got invited" said Elias as he continued his work. As soon as the bell rang to signal the end of the school day Angel & Elias headed to the Lookout. On the way there, Elias showed Angel the letter.

"That sounds fun. Who else do you think got invited?" asked Angel.

"I don't know. We'll find out soon" said Elias as Angel & himself arrived at the Lookout. Ace, Alex, Carlos, Danny, Julius, Justina, Katie, Kelly, Mayabella, Precious' Owner, Ryder, 4 other 5TH grade kids & 8 other 1ST grade kids were also there. They were the other 23 participants invited to compete in the tournament.

"Hey guys. Looks like we're all going to the tournament" said Elias.

"We sure are. All the PAW Patrol pups & Jake will be joining us as well" said Ryder.

"Awesome" said Elias as Everest & Jake arrived.

"We're here" said Everest.

"Shall we get going?" asked Jake.

"Yes. All aboard the Air Patroller" said Ryder as everyone entered the Air Patroller & strapped themselves in. Soon they took off & headed for Barkingburg.

"This is a nice aircraft. What's Barkingburg like?" asked Mayabella.

"It's a royal kingdom that the Princess will rule over when she becomes Queen. The Earl is her guardian & she has a pup named Sweetie who keeps trying to take over Barkingburg & rule the kingdom herself" said Ryder.

"Wow. That sounds quite fascinating" said Mayabella.

"The last time she tried to conquer Barkingburg I fooled her into thinking I was on her side. The look on her face after I revealed the truth was priceless. That silly pup will never steal what belongs to the Princess" said Elias.

"Yikes. Do you think she might try taking over the kingdom during the tournament?" asked Mayabella.

"Maybe. She won't succeed" said Angel.

"No matter what she does she always gets caught" said Chase.

"Some of her past plans have been quite elaborate. I don't know what she'll try next" said Everest.

"I think the reason she wants to be the ruler is because she loves the idea of having luxury & power at her command" said Marshall.

"I don't doubt that. She is quite greedy" said Rocky.

"If the Princess gave her a position of power like that of a Queen I wouldn't be surprised if Sweetie ended up becoming a power-hungry tyrant" said Rubble.

"At least Sweetie hasn't tried anything too sinister like murder or some other serious crime. That would be incredibly tragic" said Skye.

"It sure would amigo. I couldn't imagine Sweetie going that far though" said Tracker.

"Only time will tell how far she'll go to get her way" said Zuma.

"That's quite intriguing. I hope nothing goes wrong while we're in Barkingburg" said Mayabella.

Soon the Air Patroller arrived in Barkingburg. After landing everyone disembarked & entered Barkingburg Palace. The Earl, Princess & Sweetie met them in the front hall.

"Welcome to Barkingburg everyone. We're glad you could all make it" said the Earl Of Barkingburg.

"As you know most of you have been selected to compete in the Barkingburg Tri-Kingdom Tournament. Round 1 begins tomorrow. For now, we have a beautiful banquet set up for you all. Follow me" said the Princess Of Barkingburg as everyone followed her to the dining hall. A feast of chicken, burgers, chips, wedges, soups, pies, pastries, cakes & more was set on the table. Everyone stared at the feast in awe.

"Wow that's quite a feast" said Elias.

"I'm glad you like it. Let's all dig in" said the Princess Of Barkingburg as everyone took their seats. They all began feasting on the food that was laid on the table before them. Everyone was delighted at how delicious the food was. After everyone had finished eating Elias stood up & proposed a toast.

"I'd like to make a toast. I wish everyone good luck in the tournament. May the best person win. I'd like to also thank the Princess Of Barkingburg for inviting us here to compete. To the Princess" said Elias.

"To the Princess" said everyone else as they raised their glasses.

"Where's the restrooms? I really need to do my business" said Mayabella.

"They're in the front hall. The doors are marked for gender reference" said the Princess Of Barkingburg.

"OK thanks" said Mayabella as she left to use the restrooms. Sweetie also left the dining hall unnoticed by anyone.

"While those simpletons are busy with the tournament I'll take over the kingdom. Nobody will stop me" said Sweetie as she laughed. As Sweetie entered the sacred royal treasure room she saw a girl that appeared to resemble Mayabella. Unlike Mayabella this girl had dark hair, a black dress, black shoes & socks, red eyes & pale white skin. Sweetie noticed that she wore a necklace around her neck.

"Mayabella why do you look different & what are you doing?" asked Sweetie.

"I'm not Mayabella. My name is Snommis Allebayam. Soon I shall take over Barkingburg. Once I use the Soul Necklace to steal the souls of those who stand in my way there won't be anyone who can stop me" said Snommis.

"If anyone's taking over this kingdom it's me. I'm telling the others about this" said Sweetie as she tried to leave. Snommis stopped her from going anywhere.

"Silly pup. I won't let you ruin my plan. Abracadabra pippity poll. My necklace will now claim your soul" said Snommis as the Soul Necklace began to glow. A white beam entered Sweetie & proceeded to suck her soul into the necklace. Sweetie was now nothing more than a mindless zombie like being who couldn't express emotions or do or say anything at free will.

"Soon I shall be Queen Of Barkingburg. For now, I better get back to the dining hall as my other self before anyone notices that I'm here" said Snommis as she returned to the restrooms. She emerged as Mayabella once again. When she saw Sweetie standing still as a statue she went over to her.

"Sweetie are you OK?" asked Mayabella.

There was no reply.

"Sweetie can you hear me?" asked Mayabella.

Once again Sweetie didn't answer.

"That doesn't seem right. I better get her to the others" said Mayabella as she picked Sweetie up & returned to the dining hall.

"Hey guys I think something is wrong with Sweetie. She won't answer me & she's not moving" said Mayabella.

"Sweetie are you OK?" asked the Princess Of Barkingburg.

Sweetie didn't move or speak.

"Sweetie answer me" said the Princess Of Barkingburg.

Sweetie once again remained still & didn't say anything.

"Marshall can you check on her?" asked Ryder.

"Sure thing, Ryder" said Marshall as he used his medical gear to check on Sweetie. He found nothing wrong with her.

"She's not in bad health & she doesn't appear to be hurt. There are 3 possibilities as to what's going on. Either she's faking it as a scheme to rule Barkingburg, this Sweetie is a decoy or she's in a state of catatonia" said Marshall.

"That's rather unusual. I hope she recovers" said the Princess Of Barkingburg.

"Anyways it's time to get to bed. The tournament begins tomorrow morning. You'll all be staying in the guest bedrooms while you're here. Goodnight everyone" said the Earl Of Barkingburg as everyone prepared for bed. As Elias got in bed he thought about how bizarre it was that Sweetie was acting strangely.

"Something isn't right about this. I don't know if this is another of Sweetie's kingdom takeover attempts or if something else is going on. I hope it doesn't interfere with the tournament. Maybe tomorrow we'll be able to figure this mess out" thought Elias as he fell asleep.
