PAW Patrol: After The Storm

Chapter one: Setting Things Right

The clouds had long cleared; the wind died ages into the night... and yet there was still chaos. Leaves scattered, branches everywhere; even various other objects dotted the small, friendly town of Adventure Bay. The slight chill in the air sent a similar chill down Chase's spine; making him feel grateful he had his hat and vest on for a bit more warmth. It was no winter breeze, nor fall. But the usually beautiful weather of spring had been muddied by the hurricane having pounded through this friendly, little town; leaving chaos and destruction in its wake.

"Come on pups, let's start in the middle of town and fan out from there." Chase decided, calling over his shoulder to Rubble, Skye, and Marshall.

"You got it, Chase." Marshall agreed.

"We're right behind you." Skye called down to her friend.

XXXX

"Oh thank heavens you're here PAW Patrol!!" Mayor Goodway cried, racing up to them. "It's a disaster! A horrible, horrible disaster!!" The mayor whined, gripping Chase's vest tightly, clenching her eyes closed.

"Easy, Mayor." Chase soothed gently. "We'll take care of it." But as she released him, he looked up and took on a blank, concerned stare. A tree had been blown into Town Hall, and her car was toppled over against the Chickaletta statue.

"Woah." Rubble managed to say.

"How are we gonna fix this, Chase?" Skye asked nervously.

"Uhhh.." Chase trailed off; still staring at the site. "Uh-.. Rubble, uh.. since you're the construction pup, go check on Town Hall and tell us how bad the damage is. I'll secure the perimeter and call Ryder... Skye, you and Marshall stand by."

"You got it!" The pups responded. The bulldog in yellow took off to inspect the building and Chase flipped out his cones.

"Um, Ryder? We kinda have situation here." The police pup said into his pup-tag.

The boy looked down for a split second to Chase on his screen.

"Go ahead, Chase." He said.

"Uhhh, you might wanna see this." Chase re-emphasized.

"Ok, hang on." Ryder said. Rocky and Ryder finally caught up to the cast away hovercraft/pup house. "Zuma, dive down and guide the hovercraft around while Rocky and I tow it back to shore."

"You got it, Ryder!" The Chocolate Lab howled. "Ruff, Ruff! Scuba!" The desired gear retracted out and he dove into the clear blue waters.

"Better Zuma going down there than me." Rocky mumbled, knowing that his friend loved the water in contrast to himself. Zuma made his way under the hovercraft and placed two paws to it.

"I'm ready, Ryder!" He said.

"Great!" Ryder smiled. "Rocky, ready with those tow cables?" The grey mixed breed tossed him a rope.

"Yup. I am now." The pup responded.

"Then let's go!" Ryder declared beginning the return to dry land. It didn't take long to get to the beach, and an even shorter time getting it back up onto the beach.

"Ok Chase." Ryder said finally, as Zuma happily hopped up into his transformed hovercraft. "What'do ya got?" The screen turned to Town Hall, as Ryder gasped at the damage.

"Woah. That is a tough one." The boy remarked. "Hang tight. We're on our way. Come on pups!" He gestured to Rocky and Zuma, and sped away with them.

XXXX

"Dude!" Zuma gasped.

"Woah!" Rocky breathed, staring in awe of the sight.

"What do we do, Ryder?" Chase wondered.

"We use Rubble's rig to lift them away." Ryder responded definitively. "Let's start with the tree. Chase, spot the operation. Rubble, get your crane into position."

"Yes sir, Ryder, sir!" Chase barked.

"You got it!" Rubble responded. The two pups raced off to carry out their jobs.

"Ok Rubble, back it up nice and easy." Chase cautioned. Rubble eased his digger back, glancing back to watch himself. "That's it. Nearly there. There! Stop." Rubble ended up right where Chase wanted him. "Great job, Rubble. Now go ahead and get that tree." The blue police pup said.

"Tree away!" The bulldog pup replied. The crane began to lift, as Ryder and Chase stood at the base of it holding it steady. Ryder stood off to the side of the tree, Chase stood directly in the way of where it was leaning. It was only when the tree started to slip, and fall that they realized this fact.

"It's slipping!!" Ryder cried. "Everybody get clear!" The boy took off, but Chase didn't move.

"Chase, watch out!!" Marshall cried, rushing toward him.

"Marshall, be careful!!" Rocky called. Chase found he still couldn't move and tried to stop the tree from falling; which made no difference! A certain white pup with puffy spots ducked in to knock him out of the way; and the tree hit the ground sending up a cloud of dust and dirt.

"Chase? Marshall? Are you ok?" Ryder coughed, as the dust settled. Marshall lay sprawled over Chase's back, as they began to lift their heads up.

"Phew! You ok, Chase?" Marshall sighed, looking to his friend.

"I am because of you." The German Shepard breathed, grinning back.

"We have to be more careful, pups." Ryder told them. "We don't want anyone to get hurt."

"Sorry Ryder." Chase apologized sadly, flattening his ears.

"That's ok." Ryder smiled, kneeling down next to the pup. "At least no one got hurt."

"Especially me." Chase commented. "Whooph!"

"Ok, let's get Mayor Goodway's car off of the Chickaletta statue." Ryder said, pointing to the statue.

XXXX

"Easy, easy, there!" Chase commentated, as the car's tires touched down on the ground again.

"Great work, pups!" Ryder beamed proudly. "Now let's go see what else we can do. Chase, Marshall; I want you to cover the main part of town, then head out on the mountain roads. Rocky, and Rubble; stay here and shore up this damage. After that, you pups and Skye can fan out across the other side of town. I'll head out to Seal Island to check on Capt'n Turbot. And Zuma head on out toward the open range; I don't think there'll be much damage from the storm out there, but we can at least check to make sure."

"You got it, Ryder!!" The pups howled.

"Thank you, PAW Patrol!!" Mayor Goodway called, bidding them goodbye with a high wave, as the pups scattered about their duties.

XXXX

Chase and Marshall pulled the vehicles to a stop, the police pup sniffing the air.

"Nothing yet." He said turning to his friend. "Everything's all clear here, Ryder..." The pup reported into his pup-tag. "We're headed up the mountain trails now."

"Great work, pups. Keep it up!" Ryder replied proudly.

"Let's go, Marshall!" Chase called. The Dalmatian nodded bravely and the two set off again. The two pups eventually came to a fork in the path and stopped to looked down both paths; one heading down again, the other heading up.

"What do we do now, Chase?" Marshall asked, glancing to his friend.

"You head down the left fork." Chase replied after a short pause. "Uncle Otis's cabin is somewhere down that way. We need to make sure that the trail is clear, and make sure he's alright. I'll head up to Jake's mountain."

"Got it." Marshall nodded.

"Let me know if you need backup." The German Shepard finished leaning toward him slightly.

"You too." Marshall nodded again. Then the two pups started their engines, and sped down their separate ways.

Hey guys!! Finally got new story; the sequel I was talking about!! Hope you guys enjoy it! A review for Chase, The... Pilot?! pointed out to me that the ending seemed too open and incomplete to be a stand-alone story, so I thought I'd add a sequel to kinda fix that. Hope it lives up to good expectations and makes the overall story feel finished in the end.

This story is completely finished and I will be posting one a day for the next four days(it's kinda short). Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!! And I'll see tomorrow for chapter two!! Thx!!!
