Getting started

The pups have just escaped from bad guys working for S.M.E.L.L.Y. and they were spending a few minutes to catch their breaths. After snowboarding down a mountain in a high speed chase, the pups jumped into the air and landed inside a SpyCorps plane that passed by. The pups were changing out of their winter gear and into their spy clothes. They all had tuxedos, each was a different color. Rubble had a yellow tuxedo, Marshall's was red, Rocky's was light green, and Everest was light blue. The boys had black pants, while Everest had a skirt. Marshall, Rubble, and Rocky had bow-ties, while Everest had a long-tie.

"Nice and warm, i was cold even with the snow gear on."

"Pups, you almost done changing?" Agent Porter asked.

"Almost." They spoke.

"Rocky, did you finish analyzing whatever's in the trash bag?"

"Yeah, i did. Why?"

"Word on the plane is Chief Goodway is here, expecting us." Rubble explained

"Then let's not keep her waiting." Everest said and finished tying her tie.

Once the pups had finished changing, they took the bag that agents Jake, Gracefully, and Danny gave them and made their way to the main room on the plane. Chief Goodway was sitting with a drink in her hand and Chickaletta napping in her lap.

"Paw Patrol, a pleasure to see you. I take it you met up with the informants?"

Rocky held up the trash bag for her to see.

"Analyzed and de-stinked, i see. What have you pups found?"

Rocky held the bag upside down and out came a box.

"It's a model box 1/1000 scale for one Evil Dog Robot. The company's 'S.M.E.L.L.Y. Inc.' which we know means nothing good. On the side it says 'Some Assembly Required.'"

"Sounds like a good title for one of our adventures." Marshall spoke and everyone giggled, even Chief Goodway. Then, the Chief noticed something.

"The mailing label says: 'To: Humdinger, CO: Chateau LeRoach, World's Fair. The instructions are here as well. You better take this with you Pups."

"Wow, you can learn a lot by reading." Marshall said and put the instructions in his tuxedo.

"If Humdinger is involved with S.M.E.L.L.Y., they're up to no good. You better head to the World's Fair and investigate. Ryder and the others have returned from their mission and have already set up the Mobile Command Center. The plane will be flying over the Fair shortly."

"On our way Chief."

Soon, the plane came to the World's Fair. The pups were putting on their flight gear, that is except for Everest.

"Everest, want to ride on my hoverboard?"

"Really?"

"There's room here, and don't worry about falling off."

Everest hopped on the hoverboard and it locked her feet in place so she wouldn't fall. The back of the plane opened up and the pups flew out of the plane.

"That must be the World's Fair."

"Wish we could've came here on our days off."

"That'll have to wait Rubble, right now we need to find Ryder."

"Is that him there?"

They saw the Paw Patroller with a big satellite on the top. It was located just outside the entrance of the Fair.

"That's gotta be it."

They flew down to the Paw Patroller and Ryder activated the door for them to come in.

"How's it going pups?"

"Well, we had a little fun snowboarding down the Alps. While dodging bad guys."

"How was Acidophilus, pups?" Everest asked

"Quite the adventure." Chase answered

"Totally off the hook. I met this cat who could really dance the tango. Too bad she was teaming up with a bad guy."

"I'm sure you'll find someone else Zuma."

"Thanks."

"I heard we're onto something big."

"Yeah, SMELLY is up to no good, as usual Ryder."

"Don't worry, pups. No job is too big, no pup is too small!"

"We got the assembly instructions out of a SMELLY trash bag."

"Well of course it's smelly if you got it out of a trash bag, Marshall."

"No, SMELLY as in the Society of Meaningless Evil Larceny Lying and Yelling."

"Oy, oy, oy. Nuestro malvado némesis."

"Yeah, SpyCorps evil nemesis." Ryder translated. "Why don't you leave those assembly instructions here with us? Then, you can look at them anytime you come back here to Mobile Command Center."

"You sure Ryder?"

"Don't worry Marshall, you have me. I know mechanics better than anybody else." Rocky reassured.

"Okay."

Marshall pulled out the instructions and gave them to Ryder.

"Ryder, what if we can't come back right away? How can we contact you?"

"I thought you might ask that Rubble."

Ryder then pulled out 4 pup tags, but they were surprised by what they saw.

"Our old pup tags!"

"Didn't we outgrow them though?"

"Yes, that's why i modified them to act as Spy-watches. I did the same thing for Chase, Skye, Zuma, and Tracker.

"Really?"

Chase, Skye, Zuma and Tracker held up their paws and showed their Spy-watches on their wrist.

"Really. Here you go pups."

Each pup got their respective SpyWatch and put it on their wrists. Rubble got a yellow SpyWatch with a wrench, Rocky had light green with the Recycle symbol on it, Marshall had red with a picture of fire on it, and Everest had light blue with a tree on it.

"I know gadgets, but definitely not these Ryder. How do they work?"

"Press them."

The pups pressed their Spy-watches and they flipped open. One side showed a screen, the other side showed four buttons. For example, Rocky had a yellow wrench, a red fire, a light blue tree, and a silver paw.

"Yellow wrench must be Rubble, the fire is Marshall, tree is Everest."

"The Recycle symbol must be you, Rocky." Everest spoke.

"Like i say, don't lose it, reuse it."

"What's the silver paw for, Ryder?" Rubble asked

"That's to contact us here at Mobile Command Center. You can contact each other, but only one at a time."

"This is so cool. Thanks a bunch Ryder."

Marshall then jumped onto Ryder and licked his face.

"(giggles) Your welcome Marshall." He said and set Marshall down shortly after.

"Hey, Rocky, can i get some help with the gadget vending machine?" Skye asked

"Sure, i need to load it with some new gadgets anyway." He said and went over to help Skye.

"In the meantime, you pups need to pay Humdinger a visit and find out what's he up to."

"On it, Ryder." The pups said

Now that the debriefing was done, the door opened and Marshall, Rubble, and Everest left and went to the World's Fair entrance.

"Looks like that's the turnstyle."

"What about that? What's that?"

Marshall was pointing to another entrance, one that had a bear guard next to it. There's also a sign that says 'Chateau LeRoach Service Entrance'.

"Let's go see."

Everest went in front, with Marshall and Rubble behind her, only to be stopped by the guard.

"Excuse me sirs, ma'am."

"Is there a problem?"

"Well i hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, But, unfortunately, I cannot allow you to enter through the Service Entrance. I'm sorry, but i can only let Cashiers with proper ID in today. See? It has the job title 'Cashier' and a matching photo."

"I see. We'll get our IDs and be right back."

Rubble and Marshall were quick to pull her away.

"Everest, we don't have any IDs to show him."

"I know, Marshall. But i made that up to get him to lower his guard."

"Well, how can we get any IDs?"

"Follow me."

Everest led the boys over to a photo booth.

"Here."

"The sign says 'Free Photos.'"

"Well, that solves the photo problem, if they have a Cashier option."

"I'll go first and see."

Everest went in and pulled the curtain behind her.

"Let's see, what options for jobs do we have?"

Everest cycled through the options for occupation: golfer, waitress, jockey, wrestler, dishwasher, cashier.

"Cashier! I found it!"

The picture showed Everest dressed up as a Cashier. She pressed the button and her photo was taken. It was then printed out and she stepped out with her photo.

"One picture. Now to get Ryder's help in making the ID."

"Wow!" Marshall and Rubble said. Marshall went in next and then Rubble took his turn. Once all three had their photos, they went back to the Paw Patroller.

"Hey pups, how's the mission going?"

"Well, we found the service entrance, but we need proper Cashier IDs to get past the guard. Problem is we only have just these pictures we took at a free photo booth."

"Hmmm." (snaps fingers) "Rocky, can you build something to help us out?"

"I think. I'll need some time."

"Better make it fast. We don't know how much time we have."

A couple hours later...

"Okay. I think it's ready." Rocky said as he put the screwdriver and wrench down.

"What's ready Rocky?"

"I call it the ID Maker. It's the solution to your ID problem."

"Fascinating Rocky!" Everest spoke. "How does it work?"

"First, you place a photo in the photo slot. Ryder?"

"Sure thing."

Ryder took a photo of Rocky and dressed him up as a Cashier. He then printed it out and handed it to Rocky.

"Thanks. Now watch."

All the pups, Ryder, and Robodog gathered around to watch Rocky's invention at work. He slipped the photo into the slot that said 'Insert photo here'. The photo then appeared on the screen.

"Then, you choose the job title you want, and any name you like. Then, press the 'Process ID' button."

He pressed the button and his ID was printed with the title Cashier and the 'Roscoe'. The ID then came out at the bottom slot.

"Voila. Proper ID."

"Rocky, you're amazing with gadgets."

"Thanks."

"If you pups make those ID Cards, you'll have to stick to the name you use to avoid blowing your cover."

"Got it."

Rubble was next to insert his photo and he picked the name 'Rudy'. Once his name was made, Marshall went third with the name 'Nell'. Everest made her ID card with the name 'Nancy'.

"All right, now that we have our IDs, we can get past the guard."

"I'm coming with you guys! I want to join in the action."

Marshall, Rubble, Rocky, and Everest left the Paw Patroller and went to the service entrance. When the guard stopped them again...

"Here you are sir. Proper Cashier IDs."

"Oh my, i'm glad to see you have them now."

"Yes, now if you'll excuse us, we're needed in the restaurant. We're late as it is, right guys?"

"Agreed, Nancy."

"I understand. I won't keep you any longer. I'll keep your IDs on file for you."

The pups went into the carrier and it took all the way to the kitchen in the life-scale version of the Dog-bot. They entered the kitchen and saw the chef working on a dish. She didn't notice, so the pups kept quiet and left. They went through the double doors and came into the dining room. There were round tables everywhere, a chandelier hanging in the center, the whole floor had a fancy theme to it.

"Talk about fancy." Marshall whispered.

"Ah, Paw Patrol."

A big chair turned and Humdinger was sitting in it. The Kitten Catastrophe Crew came out of hiding and surrounded the pups. They were humanoid, just like the Paw Patrol. Another chair revealed a little roach with Napoleon attire.

"Glad you could make it. Meet my friend, Napoleon LeRoach. (laughs)"
