"So, where do we start?" Rubble asked
Everyone looked at Chase and Marshall, who weren't even paying attention. They were looking down on the opposite sides of the lake, trying to find clues. When they felt eyes on them, they turned to everyone else only to meet a bunch of eyes starring dead at them, making both pups feel very uncomfortable.
"What are you guys looking at us for?" Chase asked and gulped down his nervousness.
"Since you guys have been having dreams and visions lately, maybe you guys can be our beacon to find the amulets." Skye suggested
"That's a great idea Skye." Chase praised and Skye blushed.
Marshall was still feeling uneasy "Guys, I doubt it-" before he could finish his own sentence, he paused.
Ryder and the pups surrounded Marshall as his mouth started to quiver. His eyes glowed brightly and he looked focused on seeing somthing that no one else could see.
"Do you see anything?" Rocky asked
"Give him sometime, it's not easy." Chase advised
"Look where it's wet and warm
To find the amulet of Bravery
Just hope you won't be harmed."
Marshall blinked and his eyes went back to normal. A small pain came from the back of his head but he shook it off.
"Look whewe it's wet...the watew!" Zuma said before diving in the lake.
Ryder and the pups ran to edge of the castle bring where Zuma jumped in and stared at the clear glistening water. Rocky was absolutely scared to death when he saw Zuma's quick action. The two were together for a couple of months now and seeing Zuma being so reckless made Rocky nervous.
"Do you think he'll be ok?"Rocky asked worriedly and looked up at Ryder.
"Zuma's a tough pup. He'll be fine Rocky, don't worry." Ryder said and patted his mixed breed.
Zuma was searching the water with his sonar beeping everywhere but he couldn't or didn't see anything. The lake was clean but it was made with very dark liquid. The extra sand with lost treasures below wasn't helping either.
"How's it going in there Zuma?" Ryder's voice beeped through the pup tag.
"I don't see anything yet Wyder dude." Zuma answered through his scuba mask.
"Do you want to come back to the surface?"
"No way dude, I've gotta find that amulet fow the pwincess."
Zuma didn't notice it but on his forehead was glowing an orange diamond. Not to far from him, a orange glow shined brightly that it hit the surface causing Zuma's sonar to beep like crazy. Zuma swam toward the orange light and hovered over it.
"Wyder, I think I found it!" exclaimed Zuma
"Yes! Great job Zuma!" Rocky cheered
"Thanks Wocky dude. I'm on the way up." Zuma ended the call and grabbed the necklace with his claw before swimming back to the surface.
Out of nowhere, a giant fish came from under the sand and chased after Zuma. Feeling the hairs of the back of his neck stick up, Zuma turned around only to almost have his tail bit off.
"Ahh! What thr heck?!" Zuma screamed and swam up to the surface faster.
Rocky stared at the water with the others, waiting for Zuma until he notice something swimming up to him. Before he could move back, Zuma popped up from the water and tackled Rocky to the ground. The giant fish stayed under water and smiled at Zuma before going back to his home.
"Uggh, Zuma, get off me! Your wet!" Rocky said angrily
"Sowwy Wocky, I didn't mean to get you wet this early." Zuma whispered in Rocky's ear before crawling off the blushing mixed breed.
"Awww, that's so cute." Rubble awed
"What's so cute? Zuma just tackled Rocky to the ground." Chase said oblivious to what just happened.
Marshall Skye groaned and facepalmed while the rest rolled their eyes. For having the biggest crush in the group, Chase was so oblivious to love.
"What?"
"Shut up Chase, before I slap you." Marshall scolded
"Alright pups, let's not slap Chase yet. Zuma, let's see that amulet." Ryder said and kneeled down on both knees
Zuma put the amulet in the center of the small circle and they all gasped in awe. The amulet had a golden back and the center was in a pattern with small diamonds and orange and in the middle was a gold dog sitting in criss cross.
"Dudes, this is epic." Zuma said excidently
"Yeah, but how are we gonna find all of these by sun down?" Rubble asked
"I don't know Rubble but I do know we're gonna find them." Ryder said as he got up and put the amulet in his pocket.
"Chase? Marshall? Do you guys have anything?" Skye asked
Marshall closed his eyes and went deep in his mind but couldn't feel or get anything coming like last time.
"Nope, I got nothing." Marshall sighed
Chase did the same thing as Marshall and gasped, his eyes were now glowing white. His expression went blank and emtionless, scaring the pups a little.
"Knowledge is what you seek
So to find the amulet of Kindness for a save
Go to the highest peak
And search for a cave."
Chase blinked, causing his eyes to return to normal, and looked at Marshall "Woah, that felt so weird."
"I know, right?"
"Hmmm, I think I have a solution to the riddle. You know what this calls for, don't you Rocky?" Ryder smirked
"To the library!" Rocky cheered and ran back inside the castle.
"Aw man!" The pups groaned and walked behind the excited and smart mix breed.
*
Edward lead the paw patrol to the back of the castle library. The pups awed at all the thousands and millions of books. Rocky couldn't stop jumping up and down at the knowledge that contained inside each and everyone of those books.
"Wow, this place is amazing!" Rocky squealed
"Calm down Rocky, you've been jumping up and down ever since we saw the door." Ryder chuckled
"Yeah, and you said that same sentence almost a million times." Skye said with a roll of her eyes.
"I sorry but this place-"
"Is so amazing, we know." the pups groaned
"Zuma, get your mate before I strangle him." Skye joked in a whisper making Zuma chuckle.
Ryder and the pups stopped once they saw Edward paused at the end of the libary, which was a brick wall. Edward smiled, remebering all the things that happened in the past.
"We're here." Edward said
"Um, Knight Edward sir? Are you sure? We're looking a wall." Rubble pointed out
"It's the opening alright, follow me." Edward said and walked through the wall.
Everyone's jaw dropped and they gasped. Knight Edward's head popped out from the wall with a small knowing smirk.
"Did I forget that this wall is a hologram?" Knight Edward chuckled before popping his head back in.
"This is so cool!" Ryder and Rocky said as they all walked through the hologram.
Once inside, the paw patrol saw billions of books stacked up to the ceiling was probably about 200 hundred feet high. Rocky couldn't stop drooling at all the books.
"Woah." all the pups said as the looked around.
"This is twice the size of the last libary." Marshall said and blew on a dusty book.
Edward came across a large book sitting on one of the desks. He turned around and mentioned Ryder and the pups to join him. Once they were around him, Edward opened the dusty book.
"Here it is, all the things you need to know about CrystalTree Castle. Now if you all would kindly excuse me, I must go check on the princess." Edward said and handed a big book to Ryder then walked out.
Ryder struggled to hold the big book up but the pups helped him keep his balance. They walked over to a table and Ryder gently set the book down and took a seat with all his pups around him as he opened the book.
''Here it is, CrystalTree Castle mountains. And to here, it look like the tallest moutain is Snake Suckado." Ryder explain
"Well what awe we waiting fow dudes? Let's go." Zuma said
'TimeSkip'
Ryder and pups were now landing on a cliff on Snake Suckado. They were looking out the windows, searching for an open space in the mountins.
"Where are we suppose to find the cave Ryder?" Rubble asked
"We'll have to split up to search for it faster. Skye, Chase, Rocky, I want you guys to search the north side of the moutains. Marshall, Rubble, and Zuma, your with me. We'll search the south." Ryder said
"Got it Ryder." all the pups said, running out the air patroller with their leader following.
Once outside, something shiny immediately caught Skye's eye. She turned her head and saw something pink and glittery.
"Pups! Ryder! I think I found it!" Skye yelled, activating her wings.
"Really? Where?" Ryder asked
Skye pointed her paw up to a small opening in the mountians. The boys followed her gaze and saw the same thing ad Skye did. Before Ryder could give any orders, Skye flew off to the cave.
"Skye! Wait!" Chase yelled
"C'mon! We have to go after her!" exclaimed Ryder as he and the other pups followed Skye.
Skye landed on the edge of the cave's entrance. She looked around, almost sensing something calling her. Ryder and the others landed right behind her and she turned to face them.
"Skye, why'd you fly off like that?" Ryder asked sternly
"Sorry Ryder, pups, but I just have this feeling that something is calling me." Skye said, turning back to the cave.
Chase walked next to her "Well now we can go together."
Skye nodded as she and her friends walked in a few steps, paws radled on the small pebbles. Rubble whimpered and walked closely behind Ryder.
"Hello? Is anyone in here?" Skye called out, walking deeper in the cave.
Suddenly, Marshall felt something wrapped around his back paws and became frightened "Um, guys?"
The group stopped and turned to the dally "What is it Marshall?" Rocky asked
"I think...there's something in here." Marshall whispered before he was pulled in the darkness with a scream.
"Marshall!" Everyone yelled
Then, Chase was pulled in the darkness as well. Skye turned her head and noticed all her friends were gone.
"Chase?! Ryder?! Pups?! Where did you guys go?!" Skye yelled and ran deeper in the cave.
"Ruff ruff! Cave light." Skye said and a light turned on near her forehead.
She ran forward until she stopped when she came in contact with 3 different paths. Skye was about to activate her pup tag and call Ryder, when she heard a voice down the last psth on the left.
"Skye! We're over here!" Chase's faded voice echoed the cave walls but Skye could detect where his voice was coming from.
Skye ran to the source of the echo and gasped. The boys were trapped up against the wall in some green sticky slime. Skye ran up to them, concerned.
"Guys?! Are you all ok?" Skye asked worridly
"We're fine Skye, but you need to get out of here?" Ryder said
"Why? Who did this to you guys?" Skye asked sternly
Rubble gulped and mention something behind her "Him."
Skye turned around and almost screamed in horror. Giant black scales covered the creature, yellow dots like scales were all over his body but the tip of his tail was all yellow. The large creature hand vibrant cold purple cat eyes, almost as if it was a-
"Snake!" Zuma yelled
The snake let out a loud hiss, shaking the cave a bit. Marshall looked up at the snake sheepishly.
"Uh, Mr. Snake? Can you please let us down?"
The snake glared at the pups, making Marshall shut up instantly. Chase looked down at Skye, fear entered his heart for her safety.
"Skye! Run!" Chase shouted.
Skye stood in place, but not because of fear. It was because of anger. This thing trapped her friends and scared them half to death so now it was gonna pay.
"Now you listen to me you big meanie!" Skye growled and activated her wings, flying up to the snake's face "You have absolutely no right to trap my friends and scare them! I will tell you this one time and one time only. Release them. Or I will make your life a living nightmare!"
The pups and Ryder were shocked at Skye's tone but proud "Woo! Go Skye!" Rubble cheered
"Chase pwobably thinks its hot." Zuma whispered to Rocky who giggled.
The snake stared at Skye before it whimpered and used its tail to slice the green goo around the boys.They dropped to the floor unharmed and stared up at Skye. Skye flew down and nuzzled Ryder's leg.
"I'm glad you guys are ok." Skye said in relief as she nuzzled Chase's cheek.
"Thanks for the save Skye, I did NOT want to be stuck in that goo forever." Rubble said "It smelt awful."
"Now you know how we feel when you burp." Marshall joked making everyone laugh.
Skye then began to feel a pit in her stomach and looked up at the snake. She felt a little guilty at the way she had been to the snake and used her wings to fly up to it and patted its head
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound harsh but I'm really overprotective of my friends." Skye whispered and licked its forehead lightly.
A symbol glowed pink at the top of Skye's head, which didn't go unnoticed by the team. The snake smiled and licked Skye, making her giggle.
"Aww, your just a big softy." Skye giggled
The snake bent its head down and a necklace fell around Skye's neck. Skye and the pups gasped when they saw the pink gem hang around Skye's neck.
"Your the protector of the pink amulet?! Cool." Skye said before she kissed the snake's nose "I have to leave with my friends now. But I promise to vist you soon."
Ryder and the pups flew out the cave, the black snack waving its tail to Skye. Skye turned around and waved back with a small smile.
Chase flew up next to Skye "That...was amazing."
Skye chuckled "What?"
"The way you took control of that situation so fast. You looked so cool."
Skye blushed and glanced away "Aw, thanks Chase."
"No problem." Chase smiled
