The air was cool, the leaves were falling, it was the perfect Autumn afternoon. All the pups were enjoying the weather and playing outside. Zuma, Rocky and Rubble were off in the grass playing with a ball while Chase, Skye, and Marshall were playing tag around the lookout. There hasn't been an emergency in a couple of days so the paw patrol were enjoying their time off.
As they were playing, the wind slowly picked up as dark clouds rolled in from over the water. A huge storm was coming in. As the pups started to notice, Ryder calls from the Lookout to warn them of the storm. They all complain as their playtime is cut short, except for Rocky who is already half way to the lookout.
Just as the pups get inside, the storm hits and the rain soaks everything in a few seconds. The muffled sound of the pouring rain fills the room. Rocky shivers as he looks outside the door. "Glad I didn't get caught in that." The rest of the pups laugh. "You might not like it, but that looks like it would be a lot of fun to play in." Zuma replied.
Ryder shakes his head "Not this storm, the weatherman said it should be one of the worst we've had in a while. I just hope everyone in town can stay safe." The pups nod in agreement.
For a moment everyone is unsure of what to do, but quickly Zuma decided that everyone should have a Pup Pup Boogie dance off. While Rubble wants to watch Apollo the Super Pup. Rubble and Marshall go off to watch the show while the rest of the pups go off to play their favorite game. The teams were made, Zuma and Rocky, and, Chase and Skye. However, shortly after they start up the game, a loud crack of thunder hits and immediately the power goes out. All the pups jump at the sound and stumble around in the dark for a moment. Shortly after the backup generator kicks in and the lights come back on, but only the important stuff was powered. No TV or games for the pups.
"What are we going to do now, Ryder?" Rubble was the first to ask.
Ryder laughs. "Don't worry pups, we still have board games." The pups perk up as Ryder goes to collect the games. On his way to the closet his Pup-Pad started going off. He pulled it out and saw Captain Turbot's face. This can't be good He thought to himself as he answered the call. The pups were waiting anxiously behind their leader.
"Ryder I need help. I was out on the sea when this swift storm suddenly appeared. The waves are too wild and have thrown me off course. I don't know which way is which!"
"Don't worry Captain! We'll help you get back. No job is too big! No Pup is to Small!" He closed his Pup-Pad and turned around "Paw Patrol to the look out!" The pups jumped up and ran for the elevator. Taking the ride up like always.
They reached the top and all jumped out. "Paw Patrol ready for Action, Ryder sir!" Chase called out like always.
"Thanks pups. As you probably overheard me on the phone," Ryder turned to the giant screen. "Captain Turbot got caught in the storm and flipped around. We need to save him before he get's to far out, or worse, his boat sinks." He flipped through the icons on his Pup-pad and stopped on Zuma's "Zuma, I'll need you gear to help us get out to the Flounder."
"Let's dive in!" Ryder then flipped through the icons again and stopped on Chase. "Chase I'll need your flashlight to help guide Turbot back. If everything goes well it shouldn't be long till we get him home safe." Chase stood up "Chase is on the case!"
"Skye we could also use your help. We could also get turned around easily, if the wind isn't too bad you should be able to keep us heading in the right direction."
"This pup's gotta fly!" Ryder smiled at her and sounded them to head off. They all went to their respective slides and started up their vehicles. Soon after they were headed off towards captain turbot.
A couple minutes later, as Ryder just entered the water with, Chase riding along, and, Zuma leading, he gets another call from Captain Turbot. Uh-oh, what happened. "What's wrong Captain?"
"Well, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that I have stopped drifting away. The bad news is my ship has been stopped and sliced on these sharp rocks." He tilted the phone to show the huge rocks his ship was stuck on. "There's water filling the ship, but it seems to be slow for now."
"I know just who can help! Don't worry Turbot we'll be there shortly." He ended the call and sped up next to Zuma. "Zuma I need you to go back to the shore. The Flounder has a hole in it and we need Rocky to fix it." Zuma nodded and slowed down to turn around. Ryder activated his pad and called Rocky.
"Hey Rocky, The Flounder ran into some rocks and has a hole, do you think you can help fix it?"
"In this rain? Uh.. Sure Ryder I can do it! What's wrong with getting a little wet during a rescue?" He nervously laughed before ending the call to get ready.
Ryder and Skye were able to find Captain Turbot by locating his phone through GPS. Skye landed her helicopter on the ship while Ryder climbed onto the ship. "Ryder, Skye, Chase! Boy am I glad to see you guys. But how are you gonna help me?"
"We have Zuma and Rocky right behind us, they should be here shortly to help. As for now, Skye fly up and see if you can tell which way is the way back. If the wind is too strong up there I want you to come back down immediately."
Skye barked her understanding and took off into the sky. Shortly after she called Ryder. "The wind is strong but nothing I can't handle, and I think I see the way. I can barely see the light house."
"Thanks Skye! You can come back down for now." Skye landed just as Zuma and Rocky arrived at the ship.
"Those waves awe totally huge." Zuma said climbing onto the ship.
"Yeah... And wet." Rocky complained, shaking his fur out, only to have the rain remove any progress he made. Rocky just let out a sigh.
"Ok Rocky I need you to patch the hole up Chase and I will get the materials you need." Ryder went into the ship to fetch certain things they needed. However, there was water every where. It was already up to his waist as he waded through it to find what he needed.
Outside, Zuma helped Rocky with his scuba gear as they both took the plunge into the water. Under the water it seemed much more calm then it did above it. But they couldn't take pleasure in it, they needed to work fast. The Flounder was already full of water, and sinking faster then before. Luckily the hole was underwater so they didn't have to battle the waves. Shortly after they made it to the hole, Ryder dived in above them with a bunch of stuff to fix the hole.
Rocky went to work and completely patched the hole up in time. The pups and Ryder resurfaced to see the three still aboard cheering. Now all they needed to do was to get the ship away from the rocks and back home. The storm had bigger plans though, as Ryder was climbing up, the wind picked up, shaking the ship and throwing Skye overboard.
"Skye!" Chase instinctively went to dive in after her. But Turbot held him back. "Woah there pup, we don't need that many rescues in one day."
Zuma, instead, swam over to Skye and help her get back out of the water. Ryder was already aboard and helped Skye up. "Thanks guys, that was really scary."
"Turbot, we need to get this boat away from the rocks." Turbot nodded and ran up to take control of the Flounder. "Don't worry Ryder, I'll have this ship miles from those mangy rocks in a jiffy!" The ship started up and quickly pulled away from the Rocks. Zuma and Rocky were in his Hovercraft and were following the ship.
Just as the ship got away, a huge wave flowed by, knocking Zuma's craft into the side of the ship. Everyone on the Flounder kept their balance, and Ryder quickly ran over to the side of the ship. "Zuma! Are you guys ok?!"
"Yeah, I'm fine Wyder." He turned around to check on his friend. But the seat behind him was empty. "Wyder! Wocky is missing!" Zuma and Ryder looked all around but they couldn't find any sign of the mixed pup. "He must have fallen out when that wave hit us!" Ryder equipped his diving gear again.
"Everyone stay here, we'll look for Rocky. Skye! See if you can see him from the air." Right after he finished saying that he and Zuma jumped back into the water. Skye did what she was told and took off into the sky.
It was a painstaking 30 minutes before they showed up again. Still only two bodies appeared from beneath the water. "We can't find any sign of him. We checked everywhere nearby. The waves must have taken him out" Ryder called up Skye to see if she made any progress. The only thing she responded with was a simple no. By this time the storm began to pass. Turbot said that he could stay and offer any help he could. They searched for nearly another 2 hours but came up with nothing.
"How can he just be gone like that?" Ryder said, seeming to be on the verge of tears. "How can he just disappear?" Chase walked up to him. "Sir, we probably should get back and tell the others. In the morning we can see everything easier. He's a strong pup I know he'll make it."
Zuma looked down at his sub, tears filled his eyes as he thought of what could have happened to Rocky. "I hope you're wight, Chase." He muttered to himself.
