Chapter 3: Cave of Mystery
Skye woke up in a puddle of water. She was feeling really tired, it almost felt like all her bones fractured due to the fall. Skye turned her head to look at her surrondings. Skye was in a deeper part of the cave, and the only light source there were little gems stuck to the wall, which emit a light. Skye quickly got up and tried walking, but then her front right paw started to hurt.
"Ow!" Skye yelled. She quickly sat down in the puddle of water and examined her paw. Tiny cuts can be seen on her paw, she wasn't bleeding or anything, which was good.
"Ugh, who knew such a tiny cut can make such painful... pain." Skye said to herself. Skye had to limp her way to get anywhere, it didn't feel any comfortable. Skye took another glance of the area since she was more awake now. She saw the rope that broke apart when she fell, right next to the puddle she woke up in.
"Hmm... maybe if I..." Skye limped to the piece of broken rope and tied the rope around her right paw, acting as a cast. She can walk properly now, but it still wasn't comfortable.
"Well, it's better than nothing, atleast I can walk now... oh no! I have to find the little piglet, she fell in here with me!" Skye panicked a little until she saw the 3 pathways that laid in front of her.
"3 pathways? How am I ever going to find the piglet now? Sigh Well, here goes nothing... well, Marshall always said that 'Right is always right!... right?' so it must be the right one." Skye went through the right-most path, wondering if she's ever going to find the lost piglet, or even see the PAW Patrol again, but she had faith, she was positive the PAW Patrol was doing something right now.
"Got any 9's?" Marshall asked.
"Nah, dude, go fish." Zuma replied. Marshall and Zuma were playing cards in the Lookout, while Rubble was sleeping in his pup house. Just then, the TV, where the pups usually watch Apollo the Super Pup, came on. It was Ryder and Rocky, standing outside of the cave. Marshall and Zuma stopped playing and walked over to the TV.
"Hey Ryder, what's up?" Marshall asked.
"More like what's down..." Ryder replied. "Skye fell into a hole while trying to save a little pig, but then Chase went after her and fell too! We need all the help we can get to save them!... Where's Rubble?"
"In his pup house, you know what he's doing." Zuma said.
"Hold on a minute." Ryder hung up. Marshall and Zuma were confused. A few seconds later, they saw Rubble walk into the Lookout, still with his sleeping mask on. Apparently Ryder called Rubble on his pup tag and screamed for him to wake up, and that did the trick. Rubble took off his sleep mask and threw it on a beanbag. Ryder then came on the TV again.
"Okay, now that we're all here, I need you all to get to this location," Ryder showed a map of the entirety of Adventure Bay and pointed to the mountain he was standing next to. "And we need all our puppy strengths and gizmos to find Skye, Chase and that piglet."
"We're all on it!" Said all the pups. Ryder hung up, and all 3 pups rushed out the Lookout and hopped into their individual vehicles and rushed over to the mountain.
The 3 pups got to the mountain, where Ryder and Rocky were waiting. Ryder turned on his flashlight and led the others to the hole. All 4 of the pups looked deeply down the hole.
"So, how did Skye fall? Lost of grip or-" Marshall asks, but then was interrupted.
"It was my fault..." Rocky said, in a sad tone of voice. The 3 pups and Ryder looked to Rocky's direction. "If I could have took my time and kept looking, I would have brought something better, I wouldn't have brought out a weak rope for Skye to grab on to. I guess I was in a rush since the stone platform that was in the hole was about to break any second and I had to hurry."
"...Rocky, it isn't your fault, you couldn't tell if the rope was sturdy or weak, we just hoped that it was sturdy. It wasn't anyone's fault here..." Ryder said, petting the gray mixed breed on the head. Rocky was feeling a bit more better.
"So, how are we going to get down there Ryder? It seems like a deeeeeeeeeeeep hole..." Rubble says, as an echo of his voice can be heard from the hole.
Ryder stood there, thinking of a plan to safely climb down the hole. Then he got it.
"Rocky!"
"Yes Ryder?"
"You're going to build us a staircase!"
"...Huh?"
"AH!" Chase has woken up from his temporary unconsciousness, he quickly looked around him to see if he was still dreaming. Chase pinched himself.
"Ow! ...I'm not dreaming? Oh man, I gotta get to the PAW Pat..." Chase paused. He looked around him one more time.
"WHERE EVEN AM I?!" Chase yelled. Chase was in the same setting as Skye, but Chase was in a different area. Chase tried contacting Ryder. No dice, only static.
"Shoot..." Chase took a single step, and immediatley the paw hurt a bit, not a whole bunch, just feels like a paper cut.
"Ow! Huh?" Chase looked at his paws, looked at his behind too, there were alot of scratches, a few cuts, but he wasn't bleeding. Chase took another step, now that paw started to hurt. It didn't really effect him, he was a tough pup and he was able to handle it, but it just feels really uncomfortable.
"I guess I'll have to deal with this then... ow... ow... ow..." Chase continued walking, and went through the only pathway that was in the area.
"Ugh, I have to find Skye, and quick! She could be in trouble as I speak." Then Chase had an idea.
"Wait! I can use my nose to find her, I just need a something that has her scent in it... what am I doing? I know what Skye smells like! This should be easy..." Chase tried sniffing her out, but could only smell... slime?
"Huh? What is...?" Chase found himself in a room with slime in it. It glowed a neon barf green.
"Ugh, this is disgusting." Chase tried sniffing again, but could still only smell slime.
"Oh come on... ugh, my nose is all stuffy, maybe I should stop sniffing this stuff." Just then, Chase saw 2 pathways on the other side. Chase tried his best not to touch the slime, as it is disgusting and may be radioactive. Chase eventually reached the 2 pathways without getting any slime on him. Chase's nose was stuffy, so he couldn't smell for Skye, so he had to rely on luck.
"Well Marshall always says 'Right is always right!...right?' So it should be the right pathway. Chase went on, through the right path. Chase entered a room, an actual room. The walls, ceiling and floor were made out of a shiny white material. The first thing that caught Chase's eye was the center of the room. There stood a tall podium that held a very shiny yellow orb. Conveniently, there were stone stairs leading up to the podium. Chase took the stairs and glanced upon the object. Without thinking, Chase grabbed the orb with his paws. (Which were, by the way, fine now.)
A rumbling has started to shake the room. Chase suddenly snapped out and shook his head.
"Huh? What's happening? What's with the rumbling?... Why do I have this orb in my hand?" Just then, a huge stone door gets shut behind Chase. That was his only method of getting out of this room, and now it was blocked. A small hole from the ceiling has opened, and was filling the room with water.
"Oh no, this isn't good."
"Whoa! What's all the rumbling about?" Skye was blindly going through pathways, hoping to find the lost piglet until she heard a rumbling.
"Oh! Maybe that's Rubble's digger! I gotta find the source of the rumbling!" Skye ran in a pathway where the rumbling got more intense. Skye found herself in a room of slime. The rumbling was really intense now. She was sure she was in the right place.
"Whoa! Man, Rubble's digger sure is loud... wait... what's that sound?" Skye could swear she can voices.
"HELP! SOMEBODY!" Skye wasn't going crazy, there were voices. As a member of the PAW Patrol, Skye flipped into action to find the source of that yelling and save them. Skye ran into a pathway. All she saw was a big stone wall, I guess it was a dead end. But it feels like the rumbling is coming from the other side of the door, the rumbling was very intense here.
"Wait... that wasn't Rubble's digger, that was..."
"HELP! ANYBODY?... SKYE?!"
"C-Chase?!"
