Hello everyone, sorry it took me so long to post this chapter, with school work and regular work keeping me busy I couldn't write. but I'm going to explain something in this chapter. First of all, the first part of this chapter is a little dark so read at your own risk and know that you've been warned. secondly, this first part pertains to what people feel like when they are bullied or hurt. I hope that you enjoy this chapter. so, with out anymore delay, here is chapter 9.
Ryder's POV:
As we approached the hospital I set up Robo-dogs routine to continue the trips of taking people to the hospital from the EMT staging sight. As we landed I uploaded the routine into Robo-dog. Then I turned around and picked up my pack and the cleaning supplies, then headed out over to the other helipad to help Skye. Took me a little bit but, once I got there I saw Skye sitting in front of her plane.
"Well hello Ryder, how was the flight?" Skye asked me.
"it was good no turbulence and a smooth landing." I answered.
"That's good, so I thought we could start inside the osprey to clean up the blood inside." Skye suggested to me
"good idea Skye" I answered as we walked to the back.
The cargo door opened and when we entered Skye closed it behind us. Skye turned on the lights and we saw all the blood on the floor.
"Ok pup let's do this" I said
"sure thing Ryder" she said.
As we cleaned up the blood the floor started to shine silver again which looked nice with the magenta walls on the inside. After about 40 minutes it was clean
"phew that was tough, but it looks nice" Skye said panting lightly,
"that it does Skye, ok now let's go outside and finish up" I said as I walked to the door, pressed the open button for the door and it didn't open.
"Well that's odd, it's locked" I said confused,
"I did that Ryder" Skye said in a strange tone.
I turned around to see her smirking "why did you lock the door?" I asked shocked and confused.
"Well, have a seat, Ryder and I'll tell you!" Skye said with a very stern tone as a seat popped out of the middle of the floor.
"ok" I said confused and dropped the cleaning supplies and my backpack.
I walked over and sat down in the chair. Suddenly the main lights shut off and a single spotlight right above me and I looked around for Skye in the darkness.
"Skye what's going on" I asked shocked and stood back up and started to look around.
Skye stepped into the light on my left and I turned to see her with a look of disappointment.
"We are going to have a little chat about what you said to me earlier" Skye said.
"Now, SIT DOWN!" she somewhat yelled at me and stepped back into the shadows.
"Skye, we have to fin-" I was saying as a robotic arm came down from the ceiling and made me sit down in the chair.
"OOF, WHAT THE HECK!?" Ryder yelled and tried to get up but couldn't.
Skye's POV:
As I watched Ryder struggle I kind of enjoyed it.
"Skye!?" Ryder yelled out, clearly scared.
I laughed "try all you can, you will not get out till I'm done with you." I said in a demonic voice from the shadows. Ryder stopped struggling and tried to speak.
"Ah! not another word from you, you're going to listen and listen good!" I half yelled at him at him from the shadows as my voice echoed and made me sound everywhere.
"What did I do?" Ryder asked, I just started to laugh
"what did you do well..."I said stepping out of the dark from behind him and jumped off his shoulder to land a double back flip right in front of him
"let's see here, where do I start" I said in a very sarcastic but angry voice.
I gave him another death glare and Ryder started to look scared.
"Oh, how about today. When I called you about an emergency and YOU LAUGHED AT HOW I LOOKED!" I screamed at him and darted into the shadows.
"listen Skye, I said I w-" Ryder started But I leapt do out of the shadows and smacked his face *SMACK* as my paw made contact and I disappeared into the shadows. "AHH-OUCH" Ryder screamed
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR EXCUSES!" I screamed at him I saw from the shadows a red paw print on his face. 'this is for the best' I thought to myself
"I know your sorry, but that won't cut it!" I said darkly in the shadows as I saw tears from Ryder.
"now, where were we?" I said
I stepped out of the shadows on his left and back flipped off the chair and scared him more. As I landed in front of him I had a stone-cold face of disappointment and anger. The look on Ryder's face was pure terror.
"Oh, yes that's right, as I was talking about what happened to my osprey and you..." I said and laughed darkly as I stepped back into the shadow. "AND YOU TOOK A FUCKING PICTURE OF ME!" I screamed almost crying from the shadows.
"Skye I'm sorry" Ryder said I growled and sprung at him, slapping the other side of his face and flipping off the chair into the dark.
I turned around and walked to the front of him still in the dark. Ryder's head hanging and was crying. My heart almost broke but I had to finish the job. I waked around him clicking my claws on the ground to scare him. His head shot up and he looked around frantically. I finished the circle and walked out right in front of Ryder with a stone-cold face.
"AHHH!" He screamed
I sat down and put my paw up and he stopped screaming. I stood up and started walking around him again in the light "so here's the thing Ryder, what you did was plain mean and hurtful. You need to be punished for it" I said as I finished circling him and sat down in front of him." I said in a matter-of-fact tone,
"WAIT THIS ISN'T THE PUNISHMENT!" Ryder screamed balling now. I stood up and walked towards him,
"wait Skye, I'm sorry I'll stop talking!" He cried.
I jumped up on his lap and raised my right paw to silence him and he stopped screaming, then I smacked him twice one on each side of his face *SMACK SMACK*; "I looked dead into his eyes with my death glare
"I SAID NO MORE TALKING AND YET YOU STILL KEEP TALKING!" I screamed into his face and he cried and started to hiccup.
I hopped off his lap and back into the shadows as I wiped away my own tear. Then I spun around "YOU CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN RYDER!" I screamed then calmed down and returned to my stone-cold face. As I walked around him again I said to him.
"You had this coming all day Ryder, what you did is also known as BULLYING!" I yelled as I stepped out on his right side with a look of pure anger.
"AHHHH!" Ryder screamed and I sat down and put my paw up still holding my look of anger and he stopped screaming and was crying softly.
I stood back up and walked towards him and reached in his pocket and grabbed his phone, then walked to the front of him and sat in front of him with it on the floor in front of me. Ryder saw the phone and was about to say something, but the glare I give him stopped him and he hiccupped and coughed instead. I turned it on and saw the photo and stood it up for him to see.
"Now do you see this?" I asked in a mischievous voice. Ryder nodded
"good your learning. Anyway, do you wish you never took this picture?" I asked, Ryder nodded
"WELL YOU TOOK IT ANYWAY, SO WHY DID YOU TAKE IT! DID YOU WANT TO GET A GOOD LAUGH FROM THE OTHER PUPS!" I screamed.
Ryder's head hung for a second then he sat up and nodded. Then I just got mad. "You have got-TO BE KIDDING ME WITH THIS!" I screamed he looked up at me.
"I wanted a good and fun memory of today since today was a sad and scary day!" Ryder wailed.
I again walked up and jumped in his lap, looked him dead in the eye
"that doesn't mean you can laugh at me and tease me!" I said in a tense voice as I slapped him *SLAP SLAP* just not as hard as the previous ones.
Then I hoped off, walked into the shadows, wiped my own tears, and turned towards him to see his head hanging and tears falling off his face.
"Now, I want to hear you apologize." I said to him hearing my voice echo; his head just hung there.
"SAY IT! AND MEAN IT!" I yelled from the shadows
Then Ryder sat up straight up and stared straight ahead at me dead in the eyes with extreme determination, he didn't even know it. It caught me off guard as he stared into my soul and not shedding a tear.
"Skye, I must have hurt you really bad if I drove you to do this, that means I have failed you as an owner and friend; I don't expect you to forgive me and I more than likely deserve whatever punishment you see fit." Ryder said to me.
I felt tears fall down my face and my lip quiver as he continued "Skye I'm truly sorry, I never should have taken that picture or laughed at you when you were having troubles, that was extremely rude of me and I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am!" He cried looking around the room to see if he could find me, but I never moved an inch.
"do what you wish I won't struggle any longer, I deserve this." he finished with his head hang in and tears falling like a waterfall from his face.
I had already walked to the switches and turned on the lights and released Ryder. When the lights came up I was sitting to the left of Ryder just silently balling, my body heaving and an occasional hiccup and/or cough. I looked up to see Ryder getting up and walking towards me. He then picked me up and dropped to the floor and we just hugged and cried.
Then after 2 minutes of silence I started talking "R-R-RYDER I-I-I'M S-S-SO SORRY I D-D-DID THAT TO YOU! YOU DIDN'T DESERVE A-A-ANY OF THAT, AND YES, I DO FORGIVE Y-Y-YOU. I JUST HOPE THAT YOU CAN F-F-FORGIVE ME!" I wailed and Ryder just hugged me tighter
"I'm glad that you forgive me and of course I forgive you Skye, it's not your fault."
"BUT IT IS ALL MY FAULT! I DON'T KNOW WHY I WOULD EVER DO THIS TO YOU! I-I-I J-J-JUST W-W-WANTED TO G-G-GET BACK AT Y-Y-YOU!" I wailed coughing and hiccupping.
"Shhh it over now, we both were punished fairly and now just cry Skye, it ok." Ryder said in a soft comforting voice.
I coughed and hiccupped and then buried my face into Ryder.
"You truly are the best Ryder" I said crying
"Shhh you'll lose your voice if you keep talking" he said laughing a little and I just smiled and snuggled closer. We sat there for ten minutes just hugging then Ryder stood up and walked out carrying me in his arms to finish cleaning the osprey.
quick note here, this was the part that I wrote about bulling and how it makes people feel. I wrote this when I was severely hurt by someone I once called my friend. it was far worse then bullying on any stage. this person latterly destroyed my heart and soul by doing one act. if you want to know what it was please PM me. enjoy the rest.
Marshall's POV:
As we entered the ninth floor there was a lot of smoke coming up from the other floors made it hard to see. I waited for the rest of my group to get on the floor *Bark Bark* "basket down" and watched the basket go down.
"Ok team put air masks on if you haven't already." *bark bark* "oxygen mask", two parts came from my helmet and connected in the middle.
"You take point Marsh" Roxy said again to me and I smiled and walked up to the door behind Ross.
"You ready Marshall?" Ross asked me looking at my leg with concern.
I looked up at him "what this old thing, I'll be fine don't worry about me beside I got Josh here to watch my back."
I turned to see Josh smiling and Roxy laughing. I smiled 'man I got great friends' I thought.
"Ok team you ready?" I asked
"yes sir" they all said
"ok then let's go"
Ross busted down the door and the floor was still burning.
"oh crap! hoses out team!" I yelled over the fire *Bark Bark* water cannon and my improved cannons popped up.
"Ok team, lets fight fire!" I yelled *bark bark* blast! And me, Josh, Ross, and Roxy blasted the fire in front of us. 'I like that catchphrase, I think I'll use it' I thought to myself.
Then as the fire started to die down then I looked to Ross
"Ross, you and Roxy take the left hallway; me and Josh will take the right hallway, then we will at the corner at the other side of the floor and work through the middle together" I ordered.
"You got it Marshall" Ross and Roxy said together and started pushing down the left hallway.
Me and Josh started pushing down the right hallway when suddenly I heard something behind me and I turned around to find Zuma entering through the window.
"Well this is a surprise seeing you here Zuma" I said to him
"hey Marshall we thought that you guys could use some, WHOA what happened to you dude!?" Zuma asked
"oh this, I'll tell ya later it's a long story."
More firefighters came into the building. Three ran after Ross and Roxy, while Zuma and two others stayed with me and Josh.
"what are your names?" I asked the two Other firefighters as we all blasted the fire. "
My name is Heidi and my name is Riley" they said
"nice to meet you two" I said over the fire.
We were making progress as we fought the fire down the hallway when suddenly "Help us please!" I heard as we passed a room on the left side of the hallway.
"Guys I got something! Josh come help me, Zuma you guys keep working on the fire." I ordered taking control.
"Sure, Marshall dude" Zuma said to me.
*bark* "Axe" and it came out of my pup pack and me and Josh started chopping away at the door. Once we got the door down we saw a fire in our way so me and Josh blasted it to smoke. We looked around to find a boy a few years younger then Ryder trying to lift some ruble off another young boy trapped underneath It.
We ran up to the boys "please help us!" the older boy cried
"don't worry, we will but you have to move!" I said to him over the fire outside the room.
"What! No! I'm helping my brother!" I looked to James and called Riley for back up. When she came in she has a surprised look, but grabs the older boy and moved him away.
"No! I have to help!" The boy shouted.
Riley grabbed him and looked at him "you are helping by staying out of the way, here come with me!" She yelled as they left the room.
"*bark* support beams!" I yelled and two popped up and shrunk to disks and I slid them under *bark* "raise" and the beams started to lift the rubble up then we saw that the boy was trapped under a metal beam bent funny.
"Josh, it looks like we have to cut him out, you got your saw?" I asked
"yes sir Marshall" he said pulling it out
"great *bark* saw!" It came out the side of my pup pack and enlarged to full size
"ok will cut together, on three; one...two...THREE!" I yelled and we started cutting the beam avoiding the young boy.
Then the piece popped up and Josh smacked it away "home run!" Josh shouted and the little boy laughed
"good you're up, can you walk son?" Josh asked the boy tried to sit up but screamed
"I'll take that as a no, Marshall we need a stretcher." Josh said
"*bark* stretcher!" I barked and one unfolded out of my pack. Josh picked up the boy carefully and set him in the stretcher and clipped him in.
"Good job Josh" I said as we pick it up "Thanks Marshall." he said we carried the boy out and towards the window.
"Captain Tim are you there, it's Marshall" I said over coms "loud and clear Marshall, what's up" Tim said
"A young boy in a stretcher doing down from the ninth floor is what's up, he is going to need immediate EMT service once he gets down we will get his older brother out" I finished over the coms
"you got it Marshall" captain Tim said
"*bark* wench, Josh attach the stretcher to my wench and we'll lower the boy." I ordered
"you got it Marshall" he said
"Josh, is he securely strapped in for a straight decent?" I asked, he quickly tested all the straps
"good to go Marshall" he said as he lifted the stretcher over the window sill.
"Here he comes captain" I said over the coms
"we are ready down here" said Tim as we started lowering the boy.
Zuma's POV:
As they started chopping the door down, I turned to the girls "ok let's put this flame out girls" I ordered and we turned on our hoses and blasted away. After about five minutes I heard Josh over the coms
"Riley we need you in here!" She looked at me waiting for orders,
"go we got this I said" she nodded and ran into the room. A few minutes later she came back with a boy.
"Guys, this is gorge my... younger cousin" Riley said to us
"hey Gorge" Heidi and I said together.
"Hey Zuma maybe you could teach Gorge how to fight fires?" Riley asked
"Hm, I'm not sure right now is the best time for that Riley." I said
"what are you talking about, we are fighting fires right now." Riley said
"I know that, but these are big fires and gorge could get hurt." I said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"There are three of us here he will be very safe especially with you teaching him, please captain" I looked at her sternly
"please, just so he knows some advance fire safety" Riley begged as she grabbed her hose
"Alwight I'll teach him but he stays behind me and not too close to the fire. *bark* fire extinguisher
"thanks captain, it means a lot to me" Riley said as she turned on her hose and started spraying the fire.
I sighed "ok gorge take this and stand behind me on the right" I ordered
"yes sir" gorge said and got into position.
"ok so the one thing when fighting a fire is to aim at the base of the fire; go ahead and try it" I told him.
"ok Zuma" he said as the took aim and fired at the fire just missing the base
"aim a little lower" I said and Gorge nodded.
Gorge took aim again and fired dead center of the base "that's perfect gorge, keep going!" I said to him he smiled and took a defensive stance to control the kick from the hose.
After about ten minutes of fighting the fire and teaching Gorge some tips, I heard Marshall and josh come out of the room I turned to see them with a stretcher heading for a window. I saw them hook up a line to it, then gorge saw it too
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" He screamed and tried to run at them "Riley stop him!" I ordered
"yes captain" she said and grabbed him and held him back.
I watched as they lowered the younger brother out of the window to the ground. I then turned my attention back to the fire.
