The sun began to rise appearing as if it was emerging from the sea. It sent rays of light across the earth and began to warm the cool air. There was a slight, refreshing summer breeze flowing through the air. Birds began to sing their heavenly tunes that welcomed the residents to a new day. For the longest time Adventure Bay had been a peaceful place. Of course the occasional rescue or adventure that the Paw Patrol would go on, but overall there was never a problem that had caused the team any sort of trouble. It seemed as if they were unstoppable and could handle any issue that occurred.
There was a lookout that stood on top of a hill overlooking Adventure Bay. It was separated from the rest of the town by a big red bridge that stretched over the water. It lead to a pink pet parlor and several more building to the left. To the right of the parlor was an island in the distance with a lighthouse in the middle and a dock down by the water. The road split and led down to the bridge before joining back together. It continued past the parlor and down to the beach which connected to the sea. The water stretched from the beach, under the bridge and out into the ocean.
A boy with dark hair was just awaking from his slumber inside of the lookout. He stretched his arms up into the air and let out a yawn. He was the leader of the Paw Patrol and guided each pup on their missions. He cared for them every single day and helped through the darkest of times. At ten years old he managed to do more than any of the adults in the city ever could and was far more intelligent. The boy stepped out of his bed and walked over to his cabinet to change out of his pajamas. He grabbed a white long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans that he wore every single day. Then he grabbed a vest that was red up to his arms with blue stripes around the arms and the neck. There was a stripe of yellow bordering the red and white part of the vest. Once he was fully dressed he stretched once more and went to grab breakfast.
At the same time a German shepherd was also beginning to awake, who wore a black collar with a blue pup tag that had a yellow star in the middle. He was the first up every single time and also happened to be the first member of the Paw Patrol. He was the police dog who handled things such as traffic and sometimes also tracks down missing people, pups and other critters. Despite being the police dog he never actually seems to arrest people, even if they deserve it. The pup stepped out of his pup-house and took a deep breath, his nostrils instantly filled with the scent of the salty sea. He closed his eyes and took everything in, the smell, the songs sung by the birds, all of it was what he hoped to wake up to every single day.
A voice called out beside him, causing him to jump and turn around defensively, "Morning Chase!" It yelled in an ecstatic tone. Next to him there was a small cockapoo who bared a massive smile on her face. She wore a pink collar with a pink pup tag that had a propeller symbol on the front.
Oh, good morning Skye." Chase replied trying to act unsurprised.
"Did I scare you there?" Skye asked sarcastically while giving him a smug look. She was the one who handled air rescues and was always filled with energy.
"No." He replied firmly. He was always trying to act fearless in front of her.
Another pup-house opened up, it was an orange hovercraft with the front folded up revealing a small chamber inside of it. There was a closed gray hatch on the top covering up the controls and a small seat. From it stepped a small chocolate labrador with amber eyes who wore a blue-collar around his neck with an orange pup tag. On it, there was a small white symbol of an anchor. He was the water pup and said 'dude' a lot. Since he was only needed for water missions he was barely ever called on them.
Alongside the lab, there was another pup that was also stepping out of his pup-house. A gray mongrel with white paws, who had a floppy right ear and his left ear was slightly chipped. There were also white fur tufts on the sides of his face. His left eye was surrounded by a darker gray patch of fur. He stepped out of a green pup-house wearing an orange collar that had a green pup tag with a recycling symbol. He was a highly intelligent pup who could make almost anything with any sort of materials.
The first thing that he noticed of when he walked into the cool air was the lab, "Morning Zuma." He said shyly while stretching his back into the air. The gray pup had always been timid around him.
"Hey Wocky." Zuma replied also stretching his back into the air. "Weady for another day?" He asked scratching his neck.
"I guess." Rocky answered. He walked up to the cliff side and stared off into the distance and let out a sigh.
"You alright?" Zuma asked noticing Rocky's somber tone and face. He walked up to him and sat down next to him. Rocky nervously moved away from him slightly. Zuma noticed and looked down at his paws.
"I'm fine, it's just that everything has been so uneventful lately, you know? I just wish that something interesting could happen. I mean, I don't want something bad or something that is a big problem, just something interesting." Before Zuma had the chance to reply Skye and Chase approached them from behind.
"How are you two doing?" Skye asked perkily.
Rocky jumped and stumbled over while Zuma just promptly turned around to face them, "Oh we are fine." Rocky quickly said trying to act normal.
"What's up with you?" Chase asked tilting his head at how the gray pup was acting.
"Nothing, just did not expect you to be here." He quickly replied getting back on his feet.
Two more pups approached the four. One of them was a dalmatian who wore a yellow collar with a red pup tag that had a fire symbol on it. The other was an english bulldog with a black collar and a yellow pup tag with an image of a wrench on it.
"I see everyone is up already." The dally said looking as if he was still half asleep.
"You don't look very awake Marshall." Chase said noticing how tired Marshall was.
"When is he ever awake?" The bulldog joked sarcastically.
"To be fair Rubble he does act like he is asleep." Chase said smugly.
"Hey are you making fun of me being clumsy?" Marshall asked defensively. He always had been very clumsy. Considering that he was the fire pup and the medical pup it was a very big flaw to have. However, considering how there never is any fires, he really is only ever needed to reach high places with his ladder.
"Well I never said I was making fun of it."
Just then the door to the lookout opened up. Out stepped the boy who took a deep breath, taking in the outdoors. He looked at the pups who were walking towards him, "How are you pups doing?" He asked excited to see them.
"We're doing great Ryder!" Skye shouted running up to him. He bent down and gently petted her on the head.
"You pups must be hungry?" He asked standing back up and looking at each of the pups individually with a joyful smile.
"I know I am." Rubble said with his stomach growling at the thought of food.
"While come on inside and we can all eat." They all said no more and followed Ryder inside the lookout. Inside there was a smaller circular room which happened to be an elevator. The main room was fairly large with a big television on the wall. There were colored pillows each corresponding to the pups. There were also bowls filled to the brim with food, which were also colored to correspond to each of the pups.
All of them quickly ran up to their bowls and began to eat. Ryder stood there for a moment before turning back towards the door. He walked outside once more, looking around at the place he worked so hard to keep a safe place. There were people already walking around outside. Some were at the beach, sitting in the sand and relaxing while others were already in the water and taking advantage of the refreshing water.
There was something ominous hanging in the air, Ryder didn't notice it when he had first came outside. Not understanding why, he turned his attention into the sky. It was completely devoid of clouds. All there was the sun shining brighter than ever. The ominous feeling was still there, even though there was nothing to take notice of on this day. Ryder thought it was just gonna be another normal day.
Before he could do anything else he got a call on his pup-pad. It was from Cap'n Turbot. Ryder quickly answered it hearing the familiar voice, "Ryder are you there? I got a particularly peculiar problem here."
"What?" Ryder quickly asked turning to face the lighthouse noticing that the flounder was missing.
"I was out on the sea when suddenly the flounder just stopped! Nothing will work."
"Don't worry, no job is to big, no pup is to small!" Ryder was about to call of the pups to the lookout, before realizing that they all were already there. He turned back to the door but it didn't open. The lights in the lookout were also out. "A power outage?" Ryder asked himself, "That wouldn't do anything to the flounder though." He knocked on the glass getting the pups attention, who were all focused on the fact that the lights had just gone out.
"Ryder?" The pups asked from inside running up to the door.
"Pups, help me get this door open."
Ryder grabbed onto the side of one of the doors pulling it with all of his strength, the pups also helped pull the doors open. Eventually they got it and the door finally opened.
"Ryder what is going on?" Rubble asked looking and sounding spooked.
"I'm not sure." Ryder said gazing around trying to figure something out. He pulled up his pup-pad once more trying to contact Cap'n Turbot again. It wouldn't turn on however. "Something is going on." They all ran back outside and looked around. It seemed that everyone noticed how absolutely no electronics were working.
The air was even more ominous now, it was completely silent and devoid of anything. For just a second, the world was silent. Everyone had stopped at the same time to figure out what was happening.
"Ryd-" There was a loud bang that came from the sky. It happened somewhere above the ocean. All of the pups huddled together in fear while Ryder jumped at the sudden noise. He quickly looked up at the sky. Something was there. A small light was growing larger every so slightly. It appeared as if it was a meteor, though it seemed to be very small. Upon realizing this Ryder quickly waved the pups back into the lookout. They all ran in without question.
The light got bigger and bigger before the actual size could be made out. It was far smaller than what anyone had thought. In fact it appeared to be the size of a man. The shape itself to also supported this. The people who were at the beach quickly ran off in a panic, the figure was heading straight towards the beach. It crashed into with such force that it sent sand flying everywhere. It left a small crater where the figure now lied. When the dust had settled, people began to crowd around it.
The pups stepped out of the lookout again, keeping their heads lows and moving slowly. "What happened Ryder?" Chase asked trying to sound calm and collected.
"We need to get down to the beach. Now." Ryder said running down to the bridge. All of the pups followed confused. They noticed the crater on the beach and picked up the pace. When they arrived at the beach, the crater was already surrounded by people. "Everyone please step away!" Ryder yelled trying to shout over the loud mumble of everyone. Everyone did just that. Ryder and the pups walked up towards the hole.
The suspicion was correct, inside the crater was a man. He wore a green V-neck t-shirt, brown bell-bottom pants and black shoes. He had a very long neck with whisker on his chin. The man was very tall and slim and was unconscious not showing any signs of life.
"What?" Was all Ryder could think to say in the moment. He hopped down into the crater and approached the man. There was a slight twitch from one of the man's fingers. A tiny spark of light emitted from it. The pups also hopped in the crater, curious to see who the man was. "Pups," Ryder began to say, "Stay outside this might be dangerous."
"But, it is just a man Ryder." Chase said.
"A man who seemingly came from outer space." Ryder continued to inspect the man.
"Cool, dude." Zuma said before looking at Rocky, "Looks like you got your wish."
"I never thought this would be something that I would see in my life." Rocky said dazed by what was happening.
All of the pups continued to mumble to each other. Both Ryder and Chase were the only to who found the situation more alarming than intriguing. Ryder laid his fingers on the man's chest to see if there was a heartbeat. The second his finger touched the green shirt the man opened his eyes and stood up, causing everyone to take a few steps back. The man paused and looked around at his surroundings.
"Hello spaceman." Said Rubble giving the man a smile. The man didn't smile back, instead he continued to peer around at the Paw Patrol and all of the other residents staring at him.
"Um, excuse me sir. Are you alright?" Ryder asked trying to figure out where the man came from and who he was.
"Yes." The man replied calmly.
"Who are you? Better yet, where did you come from?" Ryder asked still trying to get all of the information he wanted.
"What is this place?" The man asked ignoring Ryder's question. He was still gazing into the shocked faces of everyone around him. There was no emotion on his face, not even confusion despite him not knowing where he was. It was almost as if he was actually dead.
"Well, this is Adventure Bay." Ryder replied not taking his attention of the spaceman for anything. "So, who-"
"Adventure Bay?" The man said cutting off Ryder. "Strange name for a place." He joked, "As for who I am, you'll know soon enough."
"W-what?" Ryder asked nervous and slightly afraid.
The man took notice of the six pups all standing together. Ryder moved in front of them defensively. "Sir, I really need you to tell us who you are." Ryder said trying to sound tough, but what came out showed he obviously was worried. "Everything is gonna be alright."
"It is." The man stated with a smile forming on his face, "Anyway I need to get a better look." The man quickly walked towards the edge of the crater and climbed out.
"Slow down there." Ryder said now acting aggressive. All of the pups hopped out and formed around the man ready to pounce on him. The man stopped in his tracks and sighed.
"What are you planning on doing?" Chase asked.
"Is it illegal to look around a new home?" The man asked menacingly.
"Home?" Rocky asked catching onto his words.
"Yes. This is my home now. You all will listen to me."
Chase walked towards the man confidently, Ryder signaled for him to stop, but was ignored, "I don't think that is gonna happen. Now how about you tell us-" The man grabbed Chase by the collar and lifted him up. Ryder ran towards him but the let out a beam of light sending Ryder flying back.
"Ryder!" All of the pups shouted. Skye and Rubble ran towards him to help him up.
"Let Chase go." Zuma and Rocky demanded gritting their teeth.
"Shaggy." The man said looking into the fearful eyes of Chase who was struggling to escape. The man did not seem to have any trouble holding him there, "There. Now let me explore-"
He was cut off by two sharp bites to the leg by Zuma and Rocky. He dropped Chase who instantly pounced on Shaggy. He kicked his leg into the air sending Rocky and Zuma crashing into the crater once more. Ryder, Skye and Rubble all ran to assist Chase in detaining him. With a single twitch of his finger all of them were sent back into the sand. All of the people screamed and began to run back towards their homes. Shaggy made no attempt at stopping them and simply let out a grin at their incompetence.
"I would recommend you stand down." Shaggy said firmly.
"Not today." Ryder said getting back up and charging at him. Shaggy smiled once more not moving a muscle at the small boy running towards him. All of the pups laid in fear, they had never seen anything like this. Chase was the first to get back up to help Ryder, followed by the rest of the pups who were still uncertain on what to do, but charged the tall man anyway.
The man spread his arms out beside him forming a t-pose stance. Upon his arms stopping in the air another burst of light shot out in all directions. The Paw Patrol were thrown onto the ground once more, this time staying down. "I told you to stand down."
"What is going on?" Zuma asked on the verge of tears laying next to Rocky.
"I don't know Zuma, just stay calm alright?" Rocky said sympathetically comforting the brown pup. Zuma nodded and looked at the man once more.
Ryder stood up, but the pups did not follow, "Who are you and what do you want?" He said with fear in every word he spoke.
"I just want to take a quick tour. Is that so wrong? As for who I am, I told you. I am Shaggy." The man continued to stand in a t-pose. There was a slight aura around him with something mesmerizing about it. All of the pups and Ryder stared into, unable to break away. There was a horn that came from the sea. Everyone turned to look at it and saw a boat heading straight for the beach. Before anyone could react, it crashed onto the sand and crushed Shaggy within a second. It was the flounder and on it was Cap'n Turbot who looked both shocked and worried.
"Oh my gosh!" Shouted Skye who was staring at where the man previously was. "Is he… Dead?"
All of the other pups and even Ryder paused to comprehend what just happened. After a few seconds Ryder broke the silence, "Cap'n Turbot? What… How… When-"
"Ryder!" Cap'n Turbot shouted jumping out of the flounder and onto the sand.
"Cap'n Turbot, did you just-"
"I saw what that berserkly bizarre man was doing and had to swiftly stop him."
"You killed-" There was a loud rumble emanating from under the flounder. It began to crack and light shot out from inside. There was a sudden boom that followed sending everyone flying back once more, light shot out from every direction. Standing there was Shaggy, who looked completely unharmed. The slight aura that came from him early was now shining brighter than ever. Blue fire arose from every inch of his body.
"Zoinks, you managed to catch me off guard. I am indeed impressed." Everyone was silent. All of the pups looked at each other before looking back at the man. "However, you did also manage to make me angry. Luckily for you, I offer a chance. Stand down now, or face the consequences.
For a moment no one moved. Ryder and Cap'n Turbot just stood there and stared at the man. Chase stood up and turned towards Shaggy. "Chase stand down." Skye begged, but Chase ignored her and approached the man. All of the other pups followed his actions. They stood up and marched towards the man, all ready to do whatever it takes to stop him. Ryder didn't try to stop them, he instead joined them in one last stand.
"Very well." He said, "Let us make it a good and fair fight than?"
The pups jumped up at the man and Ryder charged at him once more. Shaggy smiled and readied himself. Chase leaped at his arm, Shaggy merrily stepped to the side which caused the German shepherd to plummet into the sand. "Who are you anyway?" Shaggy asked ducking down as Skye and Marshall tried to attack his head.
"The Paw Patrol, we serve and protect Adventure Bay!" Ryder yelled as he ran towards Shaggy with all of his force. Shaggy put up his hand and a beam of light emitted from it causing Ryder to be sent back.
"Well you are not doing a very good job of it are you?" Shaggy inquired with a grin on his face. Rubble ran up to his leg but was instantly kicked back, "Just give up already."
"No!" Chase yelled out from behind him, "We pledged to serve and protect!"
"Then do your job." Shaggy bent down and punched the sand with his fist. A massive shock wave occurred sending waves of sand flying through the air. It smashed into everyone putting them into the ground once more. "I guess that is it huh?"
"What are you?" Ryder asked one last time.
"It matters not what I am. All that matters is that I am something you can't protect your people from. Guess who can? Me."
"What are you saying?" Ryder asked defeated.
"You are no longer needed here. Well, at least your pups."
"What?" More beams of light shot out from Shaggy, each one grabbing a different pup and one holding down Ryder, "What are you doing?" Shaggy didn't answer. Instead the pups rose into the air, attempting to escape from his grasp.
"Let's see how Adventure Bay does without them."
"NO!" Ryder shouted. It was too late, with the twitch of his finger all the pups swung back away from the water, before soaring back towards it. The beams of light disappeared and the pups were sent flying off into the ocean and incredible speeds. In a matter of seconds they disappeared into the horizon. Their screams disappearing into nothing. There was complete silence as Ryder was freed from the light. He ran towards the edge of the beach and fell onto his knees. Tears began to come down his face, just a while ago he was waking up to what he thought was a normal day, and now he had lost everything he loved.
"Wonder how far I managed to get them." Shaggy remarked.
"You-"
"What are you planning on doing? You couldn't even cause me to flinch with all of them, now you are all alone." Ryder just froze staring off into the ocean, refusing the believe that everything he had lived for was taken from him. Shaggy patted him on the shoulder, Ryder didn't react in any way. Shaggy walked away from Ryder, leaving him to contemplate everything that had just happened. Cap'n Turbot who had backed away from all the fighting approached him. He to stared off into the ocean wondering if he was dreaming.
There was not a word spoken between the two. Instead, Ryder got up with a face empty of anything, he walked back planning on heading towards the lookout slowly. Shaggy had disappeared, Ryder didn't even care. All he wanted was to know if his pups were alive or not. As he headed back towards his home, the ominous air continued to hang reminding him of the feeling that he experienced before anything had ever happened.
