Hello all, long time no see. Yes I know it's been a very long time since I uploaded any stories on here, but let's just say a lot of stuff has been going on and such. And still is! But however, I decided to come back for this one time, at least for now anyway. To share with you all my very 1st Paw Patrol story, that has a good plot focusing on Ryder taking the role as a hero. But don't worry, your favorite pups will still play a part in this, after all they are main characters too.
Also I'd like to thank fellow writer AtlasWolfActual for joining me on this story. He will be acting as my co-writer for this, so he deserves credit for the work in this story as well. With that said, time to get going and start the story with this first chapter.
I only own the OC's used in this story that I created, nobody else. Thank you.
Chapter 1: A usual day for the Paw Patrol. Or is it?
The sun was shining bright, high in the clear blue skies. And it made for such a beautiful day in a little town called Adventure Bay. A small town located just by a vast ocean bay area. The people that lived here were very friendly and helpful to one another. Always offering to lend a helping hand to the community.
At this very moment, there was a man about to go out and do just that. His name was Mr. Porter; he owned a little restaurant titled, well, Mr. Porters. And along with cooking and making delicious food for his customers, he also delivers groceries to clients that call them up, at the moment. Mr. Porter was just loading up the last of the grocery bags, then shuts the back door of the van tight.
He took his place in the driver's seat and turned the key, listening to the quiet rumble of the engine as it came to life. Pressing down on the accelerator, he began his route for the first round of deliveries. His tunes were playing, and he hummed the lyrics in his throat.
As the ride progressed on and the groceries slowly disappeared, Mr. Porter realized he had only one delivery left. "Now let's see where our final customer is," he said, grabbing a clipboard. He ran his finger down the list and stopped at the last name. "The Upper Hills neighborhood? Haven't been up there in a while." With his destination in mind, Mr. Porter proceeded to that target.
Within about ten minutes left of driving, Mr. Porter felt like a car was driving behind him. Looking in his rear view mirror, he didn't see a vehicle behind him. He scratched the back of his head and thought nothing of it.
Suddenly, a car zooms up next to Mr. Porter's van. The low sitting vehicle was a sleek black car; like something from the future. The windows were pitch black, and it drove like it was hovering above the ground. Its engine was soundless as it zoomed away from Mr. Porter.
"Darn kids and their cars," Mr. Porter bantered.
Without warning, a van started to lose control, sending Mr. Porter careening off the road towards a big oak tree. He braced for impact as the front of the van slammed into the tree, causing the airbags to blow up in his face.
Opening the car door, Mr. Porter pulls himself out from the driver's seat and surveys the damage and saw that the cause of it was his tire had popped. Much to his surprise as he scratched his head. "What caused my tire to pop? I just had them replaced a few weeks ago."
Meanwhile, along the train tracks about ten miles outside Adventure Bay. A train was currently making it's daily trip, currently on a course for the small town. The five car and one engine long train was carrying large amounts of building materials and farm equipment.
The conductor, a big burly man with a hefty mustache was at the controls of the monstrous beast. The veteran conductor inspected the train and its cargo up and down before he departed from his previous destination. Everything seemed in check and within his personal parameters.
Today was just another day in the office, or was it.
As he came within view of the bridge, which was about two miles ahead, he saw a large mushroom cloud billow up into the sky. He quickly reacted and set the emergency brakes for the train which took about a minute and a mile to bring the giant machine to a stand still.
The conductor just looked up ahead in shock, seeing the massive gap within the now broken bridge. "Whoa...That was too close. And unexpected." He said. "Now how am I going to get to the station?"
He pulls out a map, detailing all the directions that lead to various train stations, each set of paths take multiple directions towards certain places, and one of those places was Adventure Bay.
"There was a longer route I just passed not too long ago, it might take a bit longer. But if it can help reach Adventure Bay, it's better than nothing." The Conductor said as he proceeded to put the train in reverse. When he suddenly felt the ground begin to shake. "What the? Now that?!"
From outside, a huge set of boulders that were resting on the top of a mountain collapses and begins to crash it's way down to the bottom, upon reaching the ground. They all collide along the train tracks behind the trains, forming a huge wall. The conductor looked behind him and saw the huge landslide, leaving the train now trapped.
"Oh boy... This... is not good."
(Add Line Break Here)
The PAW Patrol was enjoying one of their only rescue-free days. It had been a long time since they were able to enjoy each other's company without the hassle of someone putting themselves in harms way.
Chase, Marshall, and Skye were out in the yard. Chase had his pup pack with his megaphone out, while Rocky, Zuma, and Rubble were by the sidelines. As they were getting ready to watch Skye and Marshall race against one another on the brand new obstacle course Rocky designed.
It was a very fascinating course involving a lot of running, ducking, climbing. It tested the team's strength and agility while also providing a fun-filled piece of entertainment for the pups. Plus it was very competitive.
"Okay, pups," Chase announced. "The first race will include Marshall and Skye. The first pup to get through the course successfully and ring the bell shall be the winner. Understand?"
Marshall and Skye both nodded with excitement. Skye pulled off her signature backflip, while Marshall just jumped up and down; backflips really weren't his thing. Both pups were pumped up and ready to race.
Chase readied himself to initiate the race. "Pups at the ready," he ordered, watching the two racers get in running stance's. "On your mark….get set….GO!"
And the race had begun as Skye and Marshall both rushed off, pass the starting line and into the course, while the rest of the pups cheered on. Skye took an early lead, but Marshall quickly passed her.
The first obstacle was a tunnel, which Skye passed through with ease given her small size had the advantage. Marshall found himself in trouble getting through the tunnel because he had to walk. But the moment he found daylight, he was back up front.
Skye found the climbing wall to be rather challenging, but since she had some sort of spring in her legs, the Cockapoo made it up the wall a few moments after Marshall. He had bounded up the wall with grace.
"They're doing great out there," said Rocky. "My course is better than I thought it would be."
"Yeah, gweat work on the couwse, Rocky," Zuma congratulated. "I can't wait to twy it."
"Thanks, Zuma," said Rocky, clearly pleased with himself. "I'm glad you like it."
"Hey, cut the chit-chat," Chase demanded. "They're coming up on the final obstacle: the balance beam."
Rocky's balance beam worked like a gauntlet. The pups participating would have to stay perfectly balanced or else they would fall into a thick, nasty mud that clogged up the fur of whoever fell in. While they balanced, rubber wrecking balls swung perpendicular to the beam trying to knock off the pup balancing.
Marshall was the first to arrive, dodging the first ball and stopping at the second. "Whoa," he breathed, as he paws started to wobble.
Skye got past the second ball and got bumped by the third. She yipped and regained her balance. "That was close," she said.
Marshall tried to get past the second ball and was blindsided by it, sending the spotted pup straight into the mud.
The crowd and Chase gasped at what just happened. They watched Marshall burst out of the mud and trudge through it. He clawed his way out of the pit and collapsed with exhaustion.
"Guess my mud formula was a little too good," Rocky said slowly. "But I guess it's a lesson we'll all have to face."
"What are you talking about? I'm great at balancing," Rubble chuckled.
"Hey! Skye made it through," Chase announced. "Marshall is still trying to get the mud off."
Skye started running for the bell, leaving Marshall in the dust. Victory was clearly in the favor of Skye. She got to the bell and rang it three times.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
"And Skye takes the win. Sorry Marshall, but you've lost the race," Chase said loudly through his mega phone.
While the pups continued to play with Rocky's new obstacle course, Ryder had chosen to give his ATV a service check. He had the tires checked, changed the oil, changed the fluids, and was just getting to replacing the filters with new ones.
He was just finishing up with the oil filter when his pup-pad started to ring, causing him t bang his head on the underside of his ATV.
Rolling out from under his ATV, Ryder pulls out his pup pad from his pocket and touches it's screen to answer the call. "Hello, Ryder here," he said, rubbing his forehead.
"Ryder, it's Mr. Porter," Mr. Porter said quickly. "I got into an accident and I can't get back to my shop."
"What happened?" asked Ryder worryingly. "Were you hurt?"
"Well it seems the tire on my van popped and it sent me right into this tree," the man said, showing Ryder the damage to the tire and the whole front side. "I'm okay though, but my van is beyond drivable."
"Don't worry, Mr. Porter. The PAW Pat-," he began to say, but another call came in. "One sec, I got another call." He pushed a button, bringing another face up on the screen.
"Hello, Ryder here," Ryder introduced.
"Hey, Ryder. It's the train conductor," said the man. "I've found myself in quite the predicament."
The conductor moves his phone, showing on Ryder's pup pad screen the huge gap within the bridge caused by an explosion.
"Something caused the bridge to blow up, blowing off parts of the tracks and leaving a huge gap in it's place. But that's not all." He said as he then moved his phone, showing Ryder the rockslide behind the wall. "As if by some unlucky force, a rockslide came out of nowhere and blocked the other way behind us. I'm practically stuck in between here. And if I don't get to the station soon, the packages will never be delivered on time."
Now this had Ryder a bit surprised. "We haven't had anything like this happen before. The closest thing to this was when your train was trapped in the tunnel."
"Wait, the bridge exploded!" exclaimed Mr. Porter. "That train has a shipment for my store. If I don't get it, the product will spoil. Ryder, you have to help him."
"I know, Mr. Porter," said Ryder. "I'll send some help to you."
"There is one more thing, Ryder," Mr. Porter added. "There was this weird looking car that zoomed right by me before I crashed into the tree."
A weird looking car, this left Ryder a bit puzzled. But before he could figure it out, his phone began to ring again, another person was calling him.
Three calls at once. What's going on? Ryder tapped the green answer button. "Hello, Ryder here," he said, once again almost feeling annoyed. It was Mayor Goodway.
"Oh thank goodness, Ryder!" she exclaimed. "There are giant potholes, puddles of slick oil, and broken fire hydrants popping up all over town. People can't drive on the road with all these hazards. Can the PAW Patrol help? Please!"
"Of course, Mayor," answered Ryder, suddenly realizing a pattern.
First, Mr. Porter crashed his van because of a popped tire. Then a little bit later, the train carrying precious deliveries for Adventure Bay is trapped between a rock and a hard place. And now, the city streets are being covered in dangerous hazards that can seriously hurt people.
I'll have to think about that later, right now I have problems to fix. "Alright, you three don't worry. The PAW Patrol will be out shortly to help each and everyone of you."
"Bless you, Ryder," thanked Goodway.
"See you soon," Mr. Porter and the conductor said in sync.
"No job is too big, no pup is too small," Ryder said hanging up on all three and pulled the slider out of his pup pad and pushed the button. "PAW Patrol, to the Lookout!"
Back with the pups, another race was nearing its end. This time it was Zuma against Rubble as they both raced to ring the bell first. They were within striking distance as they both lunged to ring the bell; they hit it at the exact same.
"I win," Zuma and Rubble argued, both had a determined look in their eye.
Marshall was still getting mud off of his body. The sticky stuff was like clay, which was an ingredient in Rocky's mud formula. "Is there any chance that you can make this mud less sticky, Rocky? It's a real pain in the tail to get off"
"That's the point, Marshall. It'll teach you to be aware of your surroundings while focusing on the task at hand, or paw in our case," the mix-breed chuckled.
That's when their pup tags started to ring. "PAW Patrol, to the Lookout."
"Ryder needs us," they all said in unison.
They all dropped what they were doing and raced to the elevator. Chase in the lead followed by Rocky, Rubble, Zuma, and Skye and they all took their place in the elevator. "Where's Marshall?"
Marshall took up the rear as usual, as he still fiddled to get the mud off. But as he wasn't paying attention, he slipped on a pup toy when he got inside, sending him straight for the rest of the pups, slamming into them like a bowling ball.
They all groaned and looked at Marshall with an irritated look.
"Guess I need to use the obstacle course more often," the dally joked, to which everyone laughed as they got off of each other.
The elevator started to rise up, stopping behind the PAW logo on the tower's face. It flashed and rose up once more. Now the team was in their gear, ready to tackle the job at hand.
Once the elevator reached the top, the doors slide open and the pups jump out, taking their respective positions in front of the controls where Ryder stood waiting patiently, but he had an anxious look on his face.
"Paw patrol, ready for action Ryder sir." Chase called out.
"Thanks for joining me today pups," Ryder said, pushing a button on his pup-pad which brought the presentation screen down. "It seems we have a triple jeopardy on our hands today."
The pups gasped and all shared the same shocked look. "we haven't had a triple jeopardy in a long time, not even a double one."
"There are three different rescues in three different areas of Adventure Bay." As Ryder spoke, a graphic of Mr. Porters van, the trapped train, and the hazards in the town all appeared on the screen. "We need to divide and conquer to get all of these problems fixed."
"But how, dude?" asked Zuma. "It's not like we can chop ouwselves in half. I mean, that'd be kind of cool, but still."
"Ryder, what do we do?" asked an overwhelmed bulldog.
"We have to split up to get these problems fixed," answered Ryder. "It'll be a challenge, but I know you pups can do it."
"Where do you need us, Ryder sir?" asked Chase
"For the hazards in town, I'll need Chase and Marshall," Ryder said, bringing up the two pups on the scene. "Chase, I'll need you to keep the peace and place your cones around areas of danger. Marshall, I need you to use your hose to clean up the oil on the streets. Once you're finished, you need to tag team it and close the fire hydrants."
"Anything else for us, Ryder?" asked Marshall.
"Yes, head to Mr. Porters location and make sure he is okay."
"Chase is on the case."
"I'm fired up."
That was one assignment all set up, but then Ryder proceeded to set up the next assignment as he drags his finger through the pup pad. This time, Rocky, Rubble and Skye's graphics all appeared on the screen.
"Rocky, you're tasked with fixing the tracks and the bridge, so that the train can safely cross and finish with its delivery," Ryder said to the grey pup. "Skye, I want you to bring the materials Rocky will need via helicopter so he can fix the bridge. And finally, Rubble. Your job is simple, you need to clear the boulders out from behind the train, so future trains can still pass through."
"Green means go," Rocky said
"Let's take to the sky," Skye yipped, pulling off a gnarly double backflip
"Rubble on the double," Rubble grumbled.
"But what about me, Wyder. What can I do?" Zuma asked, his voice coming out in a disappointed whimper.
"Don't worry, Zuma. I have a special task for you," Ryder reassured, bringing up the chocolate lab's picture. "I want you to help finish Mr. Porters deliveries, so that his customers don't take there business elsewhere."
"Lets dive in," Zuma howled.
"Alright, PAW Patrol is on a roll," he said, running to his fireman's pole while the pups howled and barked in joy.
The moment Ryder jumped on the slide and disappeared from their view, the pups ran to the slide and took their respected turn going down. Their vehicles transformed and they sped off to their assigned duties.
Ryder was still going down the pole. A lot of thoughts were shooting through his mind as he landed at the bottom. "How could three different accidents happen at the exact same time? This never happens," he said, jumping onto his ATV and putting his helmet. It made his head hurt trying to figure everything out.
"I have rescues to fulfill," he concluded, as he started his ATV and raced after his pups.
Once he was ahead, with the pups not too far behind. The Paw Patrol was in action once more, once again heading to Adventure Bay to save the day once again. Little did they realize that for one of them, it was just the beginning.
And we come to the end of our 1st chapter, with Ryder and the pups on their way to save the day once again. But like the end of the last paragraph said, for one of them. This is only the beginning.
In the next chapter, will be seeing the pups doing their usual heroic duties, but then it follows with a sudden ambush attack. By whom though remains hidden till the next chapter, as well as who their attacking.
In the meantime, please read and review below and share your thoughts on the story. And I'd like to thank AtlasWolfActual again for his part in writing this chapter, but believe me this is just the beginning for our work on this. Till next chapter, have a nice day!
