A/N: Hi, folks. This story is out of chronological order and is another suggestion. Hope you like the first chapter. Enjoy.
It was an ordinary day in Adventure bay and the day was mostly busy, even for a two-year old Chow-Chow named Lance. He lives with his parents, Carolina and Samuel as well as his younger brother Barel. He was attending school with a lot of younger pups. Every day after school, Lance would head straight home to do his school work and then have playtime with his brother. He and Barel always went to a park to have fun.
"Catch me if you can, Barel!" Lance exclaimed as the two played tag.
"Coming at ya, big bro!" Barel exclaimed as he ran after Lance while both laughed. Eventually, Barel managed to tag Lance.
"Tag, you're it!" He exclaimed and ran in the opposite direction. But before Lance could chase after him, he heard someone.
"Well, well. If it isn't Lance?" Lance turned around and gasped upon the sight of two bullies from his school.
"Wh-what do you want?" He asked nervously.
"What do we want? Well, it's simple. We want you to cooperate with us." The first bully replied with an evil grin.
"Yeah. Starting tomorrow, you are to give us your whole lunch during the break. No excuses." The second bully added.
Barel saw the two, but remained hidden since they haven't seen him yet.
"I can't do that. I need that lunch." Lance replied, a little scared, but not enough to run away. The first bully growled and knocked him back before punching him in the face once.
"There's no 'can' or 'can't'. You MUST do it. If you don't, you'll be beaten at every single day." The first bully threatened.
Lance then got up, not wanting to fight. "I control my own life. No one else can do that." He shot back, causing the other bully to pin him against a tree.
"Wrong, mutt." He spat. "What we say goes. Either you cooperate or you get beaten up." He threatened. At that moment, Lance slammed his head into the bully's head, making him let go. The other bully was surprised at this before Lance got into a fighting stance.
"I didn't want to do this, but now I have to. I'm not going to go down without a fight." He exclaimed. Lance knew he could defend himself, but he never fought multiple opponents, let alone two bullies at once.
The bullies smirked. "Fine, have it your way." The first bully replied.
Then, they both charged at Lance. Lance dodged and deflected as many swings and bites as he could with a few barely touching him while at the same time fighting back, but he was slowly getting tired. Barel watched the whole thing and hoped Lance would be okay. The whole fight lasted for half an hour and all three of them were tired, but the bullies weren't nearly as tired as Lance was, which allowed them to pin Lance to the tree.
"Well, that was surprising. I gotta give you credit, you're a tough one." The first bully replied, impressed with the Chow-Chow.
"Maybe you're not such a weak mutt after all. But that doesn't mean you'll be let off the hook." The second bully added as the two then proceeded to punch Lance over and over again. After five minutes, the two were done and Lance groaned in pain.
"Now, this is only a warning. Next time, we'll go even more serious." The first bully exclaimed, but before he could deliver a blow to knock Lance out, he heard a yell in pain. He turned around and gasped as his friend was on the ground unconscious, causing him to release Lance. He looked up and saw a Dalmatian with his uniform and gear in a 'pup-fu' stance.
"Leave that pup alone, you big bully!" He exclaimed with a growl.
"Who the heck are you?" The bully asked, growling back. When he received no answer, he got even more angry.
"Fine, if you won't talk, then I'll make you!" He yelled and charged at the Dalmatian. He was punching, scratching and biting as much as he could, but he couldn't hit the Dalmatian as the said pup was dodging him with ease. Eventually, the bully was too tired to continue and Dalmatian roundhouse kicked him in the stomach and delivered a strong blow to his head, knocking him out. Once both were out, he turned to the beaten up Chow-Chow.
"Are ypu alright, pup?" He asked, taking his gear and checking on him.
"I am now. Thanks. Those two have been causing me trouble all the time, pushing me in hallways, throwing food and things at me and even making me trip." Lance replied with a weak smile.
"No problem. Now, let me check you over." The Dalmatian replied with a smile before doing a checkup.
"By the way… My name is Lance." Lance said.
"Hi, Lance. I'm Marshall." Marshall replied. After a few minutes, Marshall was done.
"You just got a bunch of bruises, but don't worry about that. They'll heal in time. Now let's handle these two." He replied and activated his collar. "Ryder, come in. I have two bullies that were picking on a Chow-Chow pup named Lance, but I managed to subdue them." He reported.
"Alright, Marshall. I'll send Chase to your pup-tag location to take the two away. Good job." Ryder replied on the other line.
"Thanks, Ryder. Over and out." Marshall said and hung up. Lance was amazed.
"Wow. I've never seen you do that before. How do you call with that collar?" He asked.
Marshall smiled at Lance. "This collar allows me to talk to Ryder and my friends. Because, in case you didn't know, we're the PAW Patrol." Marshall replied.
Lance was in awe. "PAW Patrol? Can you tell me about them?" He asked. At that moment , Chase drove over and saw the bullies.
"Ryder sent me over. But first, who is that pup?" He asked.
"I'm Lance." Lance replied, raising his paw.
Chase looked at Lance and smiled. "Nice to meet you, I'm Chase."
"Lance!" The three turned to see Barel running over to his big brother. "Are you alright, bro?" He asked.
"I'm fine, Barel. Barel, I'd like you to meet Chase and Marshall. Chase, Marshall, meet my little brother, Barel."
"Nice to meet you, Barel." Marshall greeted as he and Chase shook paws with the younger pup.
"Likewise." Barel replied, wagging his tail.
"Okay, now that the introductions are done, can you tell me everything about the PAW Patrol?" Lance asked.
