Looking around for answers
The pups were going down through the air on their way to Acidophilus, however they had a dilemma.
"Had I known we were gonna skydive, I would've brought my glider along in my tuxedo." Chase said.
"We all should have." Skye added. "How are we gonna stop ourselves from crashing?"
(Ruffs) "I have something that might do the trick." Tracker said and reached into his tuxedo and revealed four pens.
"Pens? How can they help us at a time like this?"
Tracker took one of the pens and pressed the button. It opened and revealed a piano, much to everyone's confusion.
"Nope."
He opened the pen and it had an anchor in it.
"A bit weighty for us."
The third pen had a tank inside of it.
"Tanks, but no tanks."
Everyone giggled a bit and the last pen revealed a fishing pole. Skye looked around for any reason and saw a helicopter nearby.
"Hmm." She said and grabbed the fishing pole from Tracker. She casted the line and quickly grabbed Tracker's paw. Tracker then grabbed Zuma's paw and he grabbed Chase's. The four agents slowly descended to the island and when they were close enough, they let go and landed softly.
"If you thought that one was big, you should've seen the one that got away." Zuma giggled and everyone straightened out their clothes.
The pups had tuxedos of different colors; Chase had a dark blue tuxedo, Zuma was orange, Skye was pink and Tracker had a green color. They all had black pants while Skye had a black skirt.
"Hmm, so this is Acidophilus. It appears we've arrived unfashionably early since nothing looks to be open." Chase said
"Let's look around first." Skye spoke and the pups split up. Tracker went to the cantina and knocked on the door. Nobody responded so he tried the door knob and that didn't work.
"(ruff) The cantina's locked and closed."
"Guess the cantina doesn't serve breakfast." Skye said
"Great, that's the first I've been grateful for the airplane meal." Chase fired back
"There's a boat here mentioning a party, but it's by invitation only."
"Well, we can't go wandering too far. Don't forget, we have to meet Ryder."
"How can we find him? We don't know where he is yet." Zuma mentioned and the pups looked around the town square. At first, they didn't see anything until Skye say half buried boat. She signaled for everyone to come to her.
"Follow me."
She lead them inside the boat and found a phone inside.
"Do you guys have the fortune cookie?"
"Right here." Zuma said and dialed the entrance code.
"Hello? Spycorps Mobile Command Center."
"Got your number Ryder."
Just then, the door behind them locked and it felt like they were moving. The elevator inside the boat took them underwater to the Command Center where Ryder was waiting.
"Now that's a person-to-pup phone call." Zuma joked and everyone giggled.
"Glad you guys could drop by, pups. So what do you think of the Command Center?"
"Ingenious! Disguising it as a half buried boat was smart. Nobody will notice."
"That was Rocky's idea."
"Speaking of which, where is Rocky?" Chase asked
"Not to mention Rubble, Marshall, and Everest?" Tracker added.
"Chief Goodway had another mission, and since you four were in the air at the time the other pups had to take it. But Rocky and I designed some gadgets to get you through. Robodog is filling up the gadget machine right now."
"Good, because a spy without a gadget is like a shopping cart without a broken wheel." Zuma said
"How apt. Now pay attention pups. This is Greek money, it is called drachmas. You may need to buy a few things around here on the island."
The pups each took a handful of drachmas and put it in a pocket in their tuxedos.
"And this is a-"
"A toothbrush. I really need one after that airplane meal." Chase said and took the brush. He was about to put it in his mouth, but Ryder stopped him.
"Don't put it in your mouth!"
Chase slowly lowered it away from his mouth.
"It's not a regular toothbrush, it's a special laser toothbrush. Let me show how it works." Ryder explained. He made a screen come down and displayed instructions on how to use the laser toothbrush.
"Hold the toothbrush, apply the minty fresh laser gel, push the button, then you can use it to cut through really thick steel."
"Well that's one way to fight cavities. Do we have any idea where Mr. Udderly is being held Ryder?"
"Nothing solid yet, but you might wanna check that feta factory by the docks."
"I thought there was something suspicious over by the docks." Zuma said with a serious face. The pups then turned to the elevator.
"Oh pups, one more thing."
Ryder pulled out four spy watches.
"Those are our old tags."
"Since you outgrew the old ones, I had them modified into spy watches so you can wear them."
He gave each of them their respective spy watch; Chase had dark blue with a star on it, Skye had pink with a propeller, Zuma had orange with an anchor, and Tracker had dark green with a compass. The compass had the red end pointing north. They put their spy watches on the wrist of their paws.
"So what do they do Ryder?" Tracker asked
"Press them."
The pups pressed their watches and they flipped open. On one side it was a screen, the other side had 4 buttons. For example, Chase had a pink propeller, orange anchor, dark green compass, and a silver paw.
"Pink propeller must be Skye, Compass is Tracker, and anchor is Zuma."
"For us, yellow star means you Chase."
"What about the silver paw?"
"That's to contact me at Mobile Command Center. You can also contact each other, but only one at a time."
"(yips) Thank you, thank you, thank you Ryder." Skye said happily and hugged Ryder. Chase, Zuma, and Tracker joined in too.
"Your welcome pups."
"Let's get to the factory." Chase barked and the pups left the Command Center. They went to the factory by the docks and saw the door was made of steel.
"N.O.G. Unless I'm mistaken, that stands for 'Nectar of the Goats' which is a company that makes goat milk."
"Yuck."
Zuma banged on the door.
"Yep, that's solid steel alright. Normally, any of us would karate chop a door, but we'll need more firepower."
"Chase is on the case!"
He pulled out the toothbrush, applied the gel, pushed the button, and it lit up before his eyes.
"Watch and learn."
He started cutting through the wall, and in a show of display he tossed it up and caught it. He finished up the design and it sparked. He tossed it up and it blew.
"Oh Chase."
"Magnifica habilidad. Magnificent skill Chase."
"Thanks." He said and snapped his fingers. The door fell open and the pups went in.
