Scorpion here! And today we are going to continue with this lovely story which I wish to know from other people as well but I still have some people. Well today's chapter we will be concentrating on Lu and Smokey so we won't see much of the others. But they will be mentioned. So let's see where this take us. Roll the story Marv! You, (Snickers) you, you all fuck, I'm watching you readers. (This last part is meant to be a joke, I love all of you guys.)…
Lu: I remained too much
inside my head and ended up
losing my mind.
Chapter 8: A new life, an old outcast.
After everyone entered the Paw Patroller, Lu exited to walk around the city, he felt like to experience the world in a freeway. Without being held up by a chain of hell, without the worries of doing a small mistake without punishment. He felt so happy that he couldn't stop smiling at the day. He felt to live freely.
Lu: Okay so first on my list is… walk on the beach.
Lu ran quickly on the road and quickly got on a sidewalk, to avoid being run over by cars, he then walked calmly to the beach. He still want it to see the place, when he was a hellhound he practically hated this place. But now that he was good, he only wishes to see the city with excitement. He walked for long minutes until he reached the beach. But he soon on his small adventure saw Smokey digging up the sand. He shifted his face into a serious one and walked towards.
Lu: Hey you, what are you doing?
Smokey: What do you think?
Lu: Well you sure have attitude even after you were kicked out.
Smokey stopped digging.
Smokey: How do you know that?
Lu: Because I know you, and I'm Lu. Any reminders?
Smokey: Well, you look completely different, how was I supposed to know?
Lu: Why are you digging in the sand?
Smokey: None of your business kid. I have my reasons.
Lu got a little puzzled of what Smokey was doing.
Lu: Don't carry yourself out all right. (Starts to walk away)
Smokey: How are the guys back there? I heard what happened.
Lu: They are…fine…Why do you ask?
Smokey: (Sighs) No reason.
Lu was almost sure that Smokey had a voice of concern at his answer. Does Smokey cares about them? He usually hates them his guts, but now he asks like he was worried.
Smokey: Well, I will get going. Is nice to see you okay kid.
Smokey started to walk away, for some reason Lu noticed his behavior. He wasn't like the time he met him, grumpy and usually angry all the time. But he was now calmed and somewhat worried of something. Could he be worried of the darkness? Well Smokey could be very complex at times so he just let go that though and continue on his free walk around the beach. It was kind of peaceful this sort of walk, now he knew why people loved the beach, it was a great place to clear your mind, the smell of the ocean wasn't the best but for some reason the smell kind off helped to clear the mind, the sound of the waves were so relaxing, the noise almost made him sleepy. And the sun hitting his fur was good but the breeze made the feeling even more pleasant. He loved being free, he started to run around the beach, he at times jumped on the water like a small puppy on its first day on the moving water of the beach. He was still close the shore, only wetting his legs but his long hair wasn't all too dry, the lower power was soaked a little, it wasn't much. He then walked back to the shore and get to the sidewalk.
Lu: All right next, Katie's shop.
Lu continued forward to Katie's.
(Smokey)
Ghost: Hey, have you noticed something?
Smokey: What?
Ghost: There hasn't been much activity in this place. Apparently I think that the current events has quieted a lot this place.
Smokey: Is nothing unusual really. The last thing you want is to get out of your house after the current events.
Ghost: This is strange.
Smokey: What is?
Ghost: For some odd reason, I can sense something odd. Do you still have that fragment?
Smokey: Sure.
Drops the Calcified Fragment, the Ghost started to scan it.
Ghost: Hmm. There's nothing unusual about it. Hang on.
Everything started to go dark.
Smokey: Ghost?
The Ghost geared up Smokey with weapons.
Smokey: What the…
Ghost: We have a Warsat dropping by.
The whole place started to shake violently. Then in a big flash Adventure Bay shook entirely making a booming noise. When the flash was Smokey could see a Warsat in City hall.
Ghost: We might want to check on that.
Smokey: Before this people do something to it.
Smokey activated his Sparrow and drove quickly to City hall.
(City Hall.)
Mayor Goodway exited her house with her usual behavior and saw the big metallic thing stuck on the ground.
Mayor Goodway: Oh my, what is that?
She pulled out her phone to make a call but then more people started to gather around. Until Smokey appeared in the scene and demanded everyone to stay back.
Smokey: Step away from the Warsat.
Everyone looked at him as he jumped off the vehicle. He approached the Warsat and quickly did something that made everyone to get puzzled. He from his doggie form into an anthro form. Yeah the light of the Traveler sure make wonders, he normally used this form to shoot and kill the evil guys. He stood in his two feet and got a weird looking gun the Harrowed Anguish of Drystan. He then pulled out his hand and a small floating thing (the Ghost.) appeared. He let his Ghost scan the Warsat, he then tried to send everyone back to their home.
Smokey: Everyone get back home, now.
Everyone groaned but did what he told them. Except for the Mayor.
Mayor Goodway: Return to your homes, leave this to personals only.
Smokey: You too Mayor. Get back home.
Mayor Goodway: Excuse me?
Smokey: Get back home and now, we have short time.
Mayor Goodway: You can't tell me what to do. I'm the mayor.
Smokey: It doesn't matter, it's for the safety of yours. Please return home.
The Mayor returned inside her home, finally that idiot got away.
Smokey: What we have Ghost?
(Screeches and roaring.)
Smokey: Oh fucking piece of shit!
Ghost: Yeah, Hive.
Then out of the spot Hive Acolytes and Thrails started to run towards him.
Smokey: Let's start this party. (Opens fire.)
(Lu)
When he went to Katie's he asked for her best bubble bath, he had to hand it to her, she made it so nice it felt like heaven. She was recently brushing his smooth hair.
Katie: Well I never knew this would happen to you Lu, is nice to meet you this way rather than before. Do you want me to style up your hair?
Lu: No thanks Katie. I will keep it the way I had it.
Katie: Okay but I will add something to make it smoother.
Lu: Sure thing.
Katie added some special hair spray to make it smoother. She then brushed it in the way he had, she loved his hair, it has been long since she dealt with hair. But coming from a dog was officially new, she wished there was more dogs like him with some hair like his. She then brushed his tail nicely, he felt himself so calmed after the long clean and all the brushing in his fur, then hair and now tail. When she finished she put his collar back again, she was amazed that his collar was strong against bad odor or against any dirt. It was always shinning like new. She put his collar on him and finished grooming him.
Katie: All done.
Lu: Nice, it was lovely Katie. Thanks.
Katie: You are welcome. Come back anytime.
Lu: I will.
Lu exited Katie's shop and continued his day.
Lu: Okay next up is…
He was interrupted as a screeching noise was made and then a weird looking green portal appeared and emerged a strange black ship from it, the ship then did a green beam of light like it was scanning and then weird creatures appeared, along with a gigantic ugly looking one. There were ones that looked like skeletal creatures while others were like holding a gun like thing and had three green glowing eyes. Then slightly bigger ones with a helmet with three points and had the same eyes had guns or a sword and the big ones didn't have any eyes but still they were ugly as hell. And then there was some that were hovering, they looked like wizards or witches. Lu went to investigate, so he ran towards City Hall. When he reached City Hall he saw the armored dog, standing like human and holding a strange gun, and killing the weird creatures while he was surrounding a satellite or something. Then for some reason the satellite disappeared and the anthro dog killed the rest of the creatures with ease. The creatures fell apart at death or disintegrated, then there was no one but the dog. Then he put the gun back in place and returned on his four paws. He then activated a hover bike and boosted away. Lu was extremely confused at this, he just simply decide to pretend he saw nothing. He then concentrated back on his usual day.
Lu: Moving on. Next to do…well is kind of boring to do things at this moment, I mean I spent time on Katie's it took a lot of time so I think I will leave it with visiting the Mr. Porter and see what he has.
Lu walked to his next destination, Mr. Porter's, there wasn't much to do around when you are alone at the moment. When he arrived at the small fruit stand of Mr. Porter's he saw him exiting his own shop.
Lu: Hello, are you open?
Mr. Porter: Well I'm finishing with some stuff before I close for the day. What can I do for you?
Lu: Well, I'm Lu, I don't know if you remember me with some stuff that I caused in the past concerning me and Marshall.
Mr. Porter: You are that Lu?
Lu: Yeah but I have given up my past life and now I'm reformed. So I was taking my freedom to enjoy some of the goods of Adventure Bay and I was wondering if you have anything that you can give me, the Paw Patrol often says that you make great meatballs.
Mr. Porter: Oh yeah, I still have more of those. Here try a piece.
Lu ate the small meatball and it was the most amazing thing he ate in all his life.
Lu: Oh wow, it was sensational, can I take some to go. It is getting late and I'm kind of hungry.
Mr. Porter: Sure, wait here.
Mr. Porter went inside his shop while he left Lu for a while. Lu sit in the ground patiently. Man sur time flew by quickly, it was getting late, he had to get back to his friends. But at least he had a good day to say. Mr. Porter returned with a bag filled with meatballs.
Mr. Porter: Here you go, I put 20 meatballs, just in case you are really hungry.
Lu: Wow, really? Thanks. How much is that?
Mr. Porter: You are with the Paw Patrol is free, don't worry.
Lu: That is so kind of you sir. Thanks. (He grabbed the bag)
He then started to run to the used to be Lookout. Mr. Porter waved him goodbye.
Mr. Porter: Comeback any time.
Lu kept on running until he finally arrived to the Paw Patroller. It was a fun day for him, he at least got to experience a little of the free life. He then knocked on the door and he was greeted by Misty.
Misty: Oh hey, Lu is back.
Everyone went to welcome him back but then they smelled the meatballs.
Rubble: Hold on, I smell meatballs from Mr. Porter's
Lu: Yeah I went to get something to eat and he gave me 20 of them. Want some.
They almost got excited but they had already eaten and they just turn down his offer gently.
Marshall: Nah is okay, we ate. You enjoy them.
Lu: You sure?
Chase: Yeah we are.
Lu: All right. Thanks.
Lu started to eat them and boy they were so delicious. Is there was anything better? Well if it was he just hope it was as good as this.
(Smokey)
Smokey deactivated his gear and jumped out of his Sparrow.
Ghost: Man those Hive sure know how to start chaos. Ahh but the fun times we had with those guys though.
Smokey: Yep, they sure know how to start a party. I always liked fighting the Hive. It keeps me busy, is also funny. I still (snickers) remember that time that Josh threw that grenade in the middle of the bridge back in in the Hellmouth and all those Thrails died in contact of it and some of them just flew high in the air dead since they were being pushed by other dying Thrails. (He laughs.) Every time they died they just flew a few feet high in the air numb. (Keeps laughing.)
Ghost: Wow those were the days. Good ones.
Smokey: I miss them sometimes, we always had a goodtime together, the three of us. Is like in that video Axel-1 showed us in a party we had, Josh was so drunk that when we were in the rooftop he just fell from it and destroyed every beam with his back that came to his way while his feet and hands were pointing in the air. It was a good thing he is a Titan and had his armor at that time. His Kalliopolis gear, I almost imagined like it was Lord Shaxx falling. (Laughs.)
Ghost: That never gets out of my memory. I have that recording, want to see it?
Smokey: Put it.
Ghost projected the recording and it showed the three of them and some other Guardians dancing in the rooftop of a party. Josh was drunk and luckily he had his helmet. Axel-1 at that time had the gear from Crota's End.
Axel-1: Watch this. Josh don't jump down the roof!
Josh: To jump what?
Then Josh was on the border and suddenly he fell from the border back first. His arms and legs were in the air while he destroyed some beams with his back as he kept falling, it was audible the beams being broken until he hit ground loudly. Smokey started to laugh his ass off as the people of the video did the same. Smokey dropped to the ground pounding it hard. He was crying while he laughed.
Ghost: (Laughing) He looked like a falling dummy.
Smokey: Oh god, oh god.
Ghost repeated Josh falling making Smokey to keep laughing.
Smokey: Okay (laughs) Okay stop. Stop.
Ghost: Wait for it.
Josh in video: FINLAND!
Smokey kept laughing from the video. After a while they stopped laughing.
Smokey: Okay, okay. I want to keep that video, I want to show it to him when he gets here.
Ghost: He won't like it.
Smokey: Yeah but we have to laugh once in a while. Well this made my day, thanks Ghost.
Ghost: You're welcome Guardian.
Smokey then headed back to his hideout to rest a little from the little day he had.
To be continued…
Sorry it wasn't filled with much action.
