Normal POV
Tracy and Antonio Garcia and the rest of their family are at the firehouse with the Rescue Bots and the Burns Family. Anastasia Garcia, the oldest Garcia child, is trying to keep herself from screaming as her little brother fourteen-year-old, Anthony, keeps placing his right hand near the ground bridge controls. Luna, a 10-week old Shiba Inu puppy, the Garcia Family's trained rescue dog leaves her owner and trainer's, Tracy, side and runs over to the control. She jumps onto the platform and growls at Anthony. Tracy goes over to her and snaps her fingers to get Luna to stop. Then she picks her up.
"Buen trabajo, Luna, good job," Tracy praises as she pets the puppy on the head.
"Wait a second Luna understands Spanish," Kade gasps.
"Yes, my husband and I agreed that we should train Luna in Spanish. Since we wanted to have kids one day and we didn't want to confuse her if we were trying to call one of the kids and she'd come instead." Tracy explains.
"When you and Antonio were training her to be a rescue dog did you train her in English or Spanish?" Cody asks.
"Spanish, but she it took is a little longer since she had to understand the English command first before we would use the Spanish one." Tracy answers.
"That is very impressive," Quickshadow says.
"Could we see a demonstration?" Cody asks.
Then they hear Chief Burns' cell phone ring. He raises it to his ear and says, "Emergency dispatch,"
"Chief, it's deputy Barney, I know rescuing animals isn't your usual thing, but a six-week-old Tabby kitten curiosity has gotten it into some big trouble. It climbed onto a piece of driftwood, and the current is dragging it out into deep water!" Deputy Barney says.
"Thank you, Barney. We're on our way." Chief Burns says.
"What's wrong dad?" Cody asks.
Chief Burns fills the team in on the emergency call. Luna jumps out off Tracy's arms and wags her tail eagerly.
"I guess that means she wants to help us," Dani says.
"Yes, and Antonio and I will go too if it's okay with the rest of you," Tracy says.
"Of course, the three of you do have the proper training." Chief Burns says.
"Before you go I have a gift for Luna," Graham says taking a new collar out of his pocket.
Graham kneels down in front of Luna. He takes off her old collar and replaces it with the new one. Tracy sees it has a name tag complete with two rescue team insignias on either side of her name.
"Wow, thanks, Graham," Tracy says.
"You're welcome," Graham says.
"Heatwave, Kade, along with Tracy and Antonio head down to the ocean and rescue the kitten," Chief says.
Luna lets out a loud bark to remind Chief that she should come too. Chief walks over to her and kneels down then pats her on the head.
"Don't worry girl. You're going too." Chief chuckles.
Chief stands up. Heatwave transforms, and everyone gets into the fire truck. Luna sits down in the backseat. Tracy buckles Luna in but wishes there was a safety harness for the puppy. They then drive off to the ocean.
'Man, I wish I had a rescue vehicle so I can give the kitten a checkup after we rescue it,' Tracy thinks.
When Heatwave reaches the end of the dock, he jumps off and transforms into his fire boat mode. Kade hands them some life jackets from the storage bin below his seat. After everyone put on their life jackets, Heatwave drives off. A few seconds later Luna's ears perk up as she starts to scratch at one of the windows.
"Can you get her to stop doing that?" Heatwave asks.
"Sorry Heatwave, she must hear something outside," Tracy says.
"I didn't hear anything," Kade says.
"Kade, you keep forgetting that science has shown that dogs can hear sounds from 80 feet away compared to humans," Antonio informs
"That's impressive," Heatwave says.
Luna stops scratching the window and sits down, and she taps her front paw four times on the seat.
"Is that a signal Luna learned in her training?" Heatwave asks.
"Yes, Heatwave, we taught her to tell us if she hears someone needs our help." Tracy answers.
Heatwave stops and opens up the canopy. Then Luna jumps out onto the side of the boat. She sits down and waits for her owner/trainer to give her the command to rescue.
"Okay, Luna, rescate," Tracy says.
The dog leaps into the water and swims to the northeast.
Optimus's POV
Inside the Training Center, I'm standing next to the two new rescue Bots an Ambulance named Medic and an animal rescue van called Animal Force.
"Optimus, are you sure that the rescue Bots in Griffin Rock will want us to joining their rank?" Medic asks.
"Yes, I have discussed everything with Chief Burns,"
"When are we going to change into our robot forms?" Animal Force asks.
"Relax Animal Force; your new partners will be here shortly,"
Normal POV
Meanwhile, with Heatwave, he follows the signal from the GPS tracker Graham put on Luna's new color. Tracy, Kade, and Antonio see what caused Luna's actions earlier. A six-week-old Tabby kitten curiosity got it in big trouble it was trapped on a piece of driftwood. The kitten has brown on its face and blue eyes, but the rest of its body is gray with black spots. As Heatwave drives closer to Luna, a massive wave that almost knocks the kitten into the water.
"Heatwave, stop, the waves you're making might cause the kitten to fall into the water," Tracy says.
"The water is too deep for Luna to do a diving rescue," Antonio adds reading Heatwave's depth meter.
Heatwave stops abruptly. Another giant wave heads towards the kitten. The groups gasp in shock when they see the helpless kitten fall into the water. Tracy quickly takes off her life jacket and her lab coat.
"Heatwave, open up, I'm going in," Tracy says.
"You can't free dive you could hurt yourself," Kade shouts.
"Kade, we don't have time to argue. That kitten will drown in a matter of minutes if I don't get it right now. Just like firefighters have a code they follow. All Veterinarians have one as well. We recite it on the day we receive their degrees. It states 'I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health and welfare. The prevention and relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge' If I don't help that kitten I'd be breaking that oath." Tracy says.
Heatwave opens up his canopy again. Tracy walks out towards the front of the boat. She takes a deep breath before turning Heatwave into a diving board. She jumps up and down twice before launching herself into the air and doing a perfect swan dive into the water.
"Since when did Tracy know how to do that?" Heatwave gasps.
"I thought I told you that Tracy was on the diving team when she was in high school," Antonio says.
Tracy reaches the kitten in time to grab it before it reaches the bottom. She swims back up and nods to Luna. The puppy swims over to her, and Tracy puts the kitten on Luna's back. They head back to Heatwave. Tracy hands Luna along with the kitten to Antonio. Kade helps Tracy inside. A big wave splashes up and pulls Tracy underneath Heatwave. While she was underneath the water, the current pulls her away from everyone. After Antonio takes the kitten off Luna's back, the puppy stands up and looks out over the water. She lets out and anxious whimper when she didn't see her owner anywhere.
"Don't worry Girl, I'm sure that Tracy will surface any moment," Antonio says.
Antonio starts to pet Luna to keep her calm. A few seconds later Luna lets out a loud bark when she sees Tracy surface a few feet away. Kade gets the life ring and throws it out to Tracy. She grabs it, and Kade pulls her back towards them. A wave hits her. This one has bits of a broken bottle in it. Tracy bites her bottom lip to keep herself from swearing as the seawater hits the cut on her right arm. Antonio helps Kade pull her inside. After Tracy sits down, Luna climbs into her lap and starts to lick her face.
"Okay girl, I know you're happy that I'm safe," Tracy giggles.
Tracy pets Luna behind her left ear, and she stops licking her face then lies down on the seat next to her. Antonio gives the kitten to Kade. He gets the first aid kit and bandages Tracy's arm. Kade hands the kitten to her. The kitten lets out a feeble meow as it shivers wildly.
"Antonio, you should get to work drying off Luna before she decided to shake," Tracy says.
"I'm on it," Antonio says.
"I'm surprised that it's even out here. This little one still should be its mom," Tracy says.
"Do you think someone abandoned it," Kade asks.
"If so there might be even more kittens out there. Right now, I need to give it an exam stat." Tracy says.
Optimus's POV
"Heatwave to Optimus, come in," Heatwave says.
"I read you Heatwave, what's wrong?".
"Tracy and Luna have rescued the kitten. I'm afraid we have to head back to Griffin Rock. Tracy needs to do an exam on it right away." Heatwave answers.
"Continue to the training center Heatwave. Tracy can give the kitten its exam here with help from her new partner Animal Force."
"Okay Optimus, we should be there in ten," Heatwave says.
Ten minutes later, I see a young woman wearing a lab coat and carrying a kitten in her arms run up.
"Hello, I'm Optimus. You must be Dr. Tracy Garcia." Optimus says.
"Yes, I am. It's nice to meet you too, Optimus, but I have to get to work." Tracy says politely
"Of course, there is your partner Animal Force," I say gesturing towards the animal rescue van.
Tracy power walks over to Animal Force. He opens the back door, and Tracy climbs inside.
Tracy's POV
I see a small monitor to my left after I place the kitten down on the exam table. I'm a little surprised suddenly seeing a 5'8'' tall twenty-year-old man with blue eyes and short brown hair wearing scrubs, and a lab coat appear in front of me.
"Hello, Tracy, I'm Animal Force. What your seeing now is my holoform. Optimus explained to me that I have a program to create them back on the day we first met. Since everyone on this island knows who we are, I didn't think I have to use it. How can I assist you?" Animal Force asks.
"Could you take notes when I start taking the kittens vitals?"
"Of course," Animal Force says.
I unwrap the kitten and get to work. Ten minutes later, I finish the exam.
"We need to start an IV drip started now. It severely dehydrated,"
"Right, the IV fluid is in the second drawer up on your left. The other items are in the drawer above it," Animal Force says.
"Thank you,"
After I set up the IV drip, Animal Force's holoform disappears. I hop out and walk over to the others.
"How is it?" Antonio asks.
"It's dehydrated,"
"Is that good or bad?" Heatwave asks.
"Good, considering it nearly drowned in that ocean. Plus, it didn't get any water trapped in its lungs either."
"Antonio, are you ready to meet your new partner," Optimus asks.
