As Ryder, most of the pups, Spiral, Cyli and the Ghost Gang were waiting near Maze 256, inside the maze, Marshall and Everest were proceeding to find Pac-Man, after he ran off. The dalmatian and husky knew exactly how Pac-Man felt about not having any parents since they too were orphans, and had to find him. Many north, south, east and west turns in the maze were never ending. Marshall and Everest were using their nose senses to track Pac-Man down.

As they continued along, smelling Pac-Man's scent, they were a little concerned as they had been walking for 10 minutes making many turns.

"Marshall, this place is big." Everest said worryingly. "It feels like we've been here for about an hour."

"We've only been walking for 10 minutes Everest." replied Marshall. "Besides we need to find Pac-Man. I'm really worried about him."

"But he can be anywhere." added Everest. "But then again, once we find him, we'll be able to get out of here easily since he knows the entire maze."

They then continued along sniffing Pac's scent making many up, down, left and right turns. An hour past by, and by then it was noon.

"I just hope we find him soon." Everest replied. "I feel like we're lost."

"We're on the right track." Marshall pointed out. "We have Pac's scent, so we're not lost."

"But it feels like we've been making the same turns over and over." replied Everest worryingly. "I mean it's not like we're gonna find him the next turn we make."

They made a right turn, and to their surprise, there was Pac-Man sitting on the ground with his hat covering his face.

"I guess I spoke too soon." said Everest quietly.

Sure enough, Pac-Man was sitting by himself in the gigantic maze. He then took his hat off and reached for something inside it. He pulled out a portrait that showed a picture of his parents, Zac and Sunny. He then looked up at the sky with tears in his eyes.

"Oh mom and dad, I just wish that I could see you again!" Pac-Man sobbed. "I wouldn't care if it was only for an hour, I just want to see that you two are still alive!"

Marshall and Everest could see how heartbroken Pac-Man was, and they were almost about to cry seeing their friend sad. They then slowly walked towards him.

"Hey Pac." said Marshall calmly.

Pac-Man looked up quickly and was surprised that the two pups found him near the center of the maze.

"Oh, hey Marshall. Hi Everest." said Pac-Man sadly. "What are you two doing here?"

"We came to find you Pac." replied Everest as she and Marshall sat down next to him. "We we're all worried about you."

"Are you alright?" asked a concerned Marshall.

Pac-Man then looked at the ground and sighed putting his hat back on. "I'm just so frustrated." he responded. "I grew up my entire life without my mom and dad and I was raised by my Aunt Spheria. I haven't seen my parents since I was a baby, and I only saw them the one time when I went into the past when they we're still around during the Ghost Wars."

Marshall and Everest started to tear up, but continued to listen.

"Ever since the Pacinator captured my parents along with all the other yellow ones, I made it my goal to make sure he would get caught so he could tell me exactly what he did with them." Pac-Man continued. "I eventually found out they we're being held by Apex. Every time I try to find out exactly where they are, he and the Pacinator alway's manage to escape."

Pac-Man then wiped some of his tears away as well as Marshall and Everest, and then Pac-Man continued his speech.

"It's as if fate is forbidding me from ever seeing them again." he sadly continued. "And being the last yellow Pac-Worlder means I'm the sole protector of the planet. The yellow ones are the only ones able to eat ghosts and use the full power of the Power Berries. I try very hard to save the world, but some people like Skeebo don't appreciate what I do for them."

Marshall and Everest then looked at Pac-Man sadly, seeing that Pac-Man was going through a lot of pressure.

"And every year, during Indepacdence Day, I'm the only one at school without parents." added Pac-Man. "I just feel that I'm the only one who has these problems."

"But you're not the only one Pac." said Marshall. "You see we understand what you're going through, because Everest and I are both orphans too."

"Oh yeah, that's right." said Pac-Man who wiped some more tears away. "You both mentioned that earlier this morning."

"I was practically an orphan my whole life by myself near the South Pole." said Everest. "I was separated from my parents from a terrible snowstorm, and I never saw them again, so I had to survive on my own for a long time, until I met Jake, and the Paw Patrol."

Pac-Man was surprised that a little pup like Everest was able to live by herself at such a very young age.

"And as for me, I lost my parents a few weeks after I was born." added Marshall sadly. "I was found by Ryder, and he took me in along with all the other pups."

Pac-Man let all the words sink into his head, and was processing the pup's backstories. He was relieved to know that he wasn't the only one who had problems.

"You know something? Out of all the pups I've met, you two seem to be the one's I can relate to the most." replied Pac-Man. "I guess I'm not the only one who doesn't have parents."

"Of course your not Pac." replied Marshall. "Maybe you are on this planet, but there are probably millions of kids who don't have parents either in other worlds."

"Yeah, and don't let Skeebo or anyone else get to you." said Everest confidently. "They're only trying to get to your feelings so they can mess with you from the inside."

Pac-Man then looked at both Marshall and Everest and then smiled. He then pulled them closer and gave them a big hug.

"Thanks you two." Pac-Man said happily, his confidence restored. "I'm glad that I've met you and the other pups. You two showed more bravery then the others by being able to take down some of the toughest ghosts, and you also helped me feel better about myself. I have a feeling you and I are going to make a great team."

"That's great Pac!" shouted Marshall happily. "Working together and helping people is what we do best!"

"Whenever your in trouble, just yelp for help!" added Everest happily.

They then licked Pac-Man on the cheeks, and Pac-Man giggled, feeling much better.

"Come on you two, let's get out of here." said Pac-Man as he, Marshall and Everest stood up.

"But Pac, we lost your scent after we found you. Is there a faster way to get out of this maze?" asked Everest.

"No worries, I got this!" replied Pac-Man.

Pac-Man pulled out his hover-board and placed it in front of him. He then took out two smaller boards and attached them to his with an energy rope. He then hopped on his board.

"Come on pups! Hop on!" Pac-Man shouted.

Everest immediately got on one board, while Marshall was a little hesitant.

"What's wrong Marshall?" asked Pac-Man. "You're not afraid of heights are you?"

"Well…Actually I am Pac." replied Marshall nervously. "I don't like flying."

"Don't worry Marshall, I'll go easy on the flying." replied Pac-Man. "And don't worry, you're not gonna fall off. Even if you're upside down on these babies, you won't fall off. Trust me."

"Come on Marshall, it's not so bad!" replied Everest.

"Well…Alright!" said Marshall bravely. "You promise you won't go so high or so fast?"

"I promise." replied Pac-Man.

Marshall then reluctantly got on the other board, and then Pac-Man hovered over the maze going slow with Marshall and Everest in tow.

Outside the maze, everyone was waiting for Pac-Man, Marshall and Everest to come back. The Ghost Gang were playing cards, Spiral and Cyli were reading the newspaper, Ryder was giving Rocky Rubble and Zuma some belly rubs, and Skye sat up straight taking a nap leaning on Chase. Just then, they saw them fly over the maze and landed right on the ground in front of everyone, which Skye then woke up.

"Alright, Pac is back!" shouted Spiral.

"You alright Pac?" asked Cyli. "We we're all worried about you!"

"I feel great! I feel much better now, thanks to Marshall and Everest!" replied Pac-Man happily. "They bravely wandered in the maze just to find me and talked some sense into me!"

"You two really did help Pac!" Ryder happily said as he stepped forward. "What a bunch of good pups!"

Just then, Pac-Man's ringtone on his watch went off, and answered it. On the screen showed a green Pac-person, similar to President Sphero's, but had a white mustache, white hair, wore black gloves, his left hand robot like and black boots with pens on the side.

"Hi Sir C! What's up?" asked Pac-Man.

"Pac my boy," answered Sir C. (which was Sir Cumference for short). "I need you and your friends to come by to the lab ASAP!"

"Sure thing Sir C!" replied Pac-Man. "Oh and do mind if we bring a couple of more friends with us?"

"Sure thing Pac! The more the merrier!" answered Sir C. He then hung up and turned his attention to everyone.

"Come on guys! Sir C. wants us to come to his lab!" Pac-Man shouted.

"Why, what's the emergency?" asked Spiral.

"He didn't say, but he want's us over immediately!" replied Pac-Man.

A few minutes later, everyone arrived at the secret location of Sir C's lab in the city. They went inside, and took the stairs down to the basement were the lab was located. Once they entered, a small orange little monster with a black zig-zag line going around it's waist came ran towards them, and tackled Pac-Man to the ground, surprising them all.

"Hahaha, nice to see you Fuzbitz!" giggled Pac-Man.

"Awwww, he's so adorable!" said Skye. "What is he anyway?"

"He's a monster who was originally from the Netherworld, but now lives here." replied Pac-Man. "Just ask Clyde, he speaks monster."

Fuzbitz went near the pups, and sniffed them a little. After a few seconds, he then giggled excitedly and then hopped around licking them. The pups then laughed.

Just then Sir C came out from a different part of the lab. Behind him was a robot shaped like a cylinder on wheels, and had two long arms with pinchers at the ends of each arm.

"Hehe, I see you met Fuzbitz." replied Sir C. "Glad you youngsters could make it."

"Sir C, this is Ryder, Marshall, Rubble, Chase, Rocky, Zuma, Skye and Everest of the Paw Patrol." said Pac-Man. "They helped us out on the last ghost attack, as well as when their world was attacked too."

Sir C then shook Ryder's hands and the Pup's paws.

"Nice to meet you all." replied Sir C. happily. "I'm Sir C. The greatest scientist in the world. Let me be the first to welcome you all to Pac-World. It's not too often we get visitor's from another planet through an inter-dimensional portal."

"You mean you know about the portal?" asked Ryder.

"Sure thing!" replied Sir C. "I also happen to know that it was Dr. Hineyhead who opened the portal to your world!"

"Dr. Hineyhead?" asked a curious Marshall.

"He means Dr. Buttocks!" replied Pac-Man. "So it was him! But why would Betrayus want a portal that leads to other worlds?"

"Probably because he's not satisfied with taking over Pac-World." replied Sir C. "It's also probably because he can't take it over, he'll just take over other world's since he knows that you can't be there to stop it."

"Well Betrayus forgot one thing." objected Pac-Man. "Wherever he and his army of ghosts and monsters go, I'll be there to stop them."

"Now that we know Dr. Buttocks made the inter-dimensional portal, we need to destroy it and the blueprints so he can't make another, and then all the other universes can't be invaded." said Cyli.

"But if the portal get's destroyed, we won't be able to go back home!" protested Chase. "That is, if and when we do!"

"Not to worry Chase!" replied Sir C. "I have a plan to make sure the portal won't disappear! Instead of trying to destroy the machine, we'll just steal the blueprints, so we can create our own, that way you'll be able to come and go as you please!"

"No problemo!" replied Pac-Man. "We'll get those blueprints for you! But aside from that, why did you want us to come here in such a hurry?"

"Because I wanted to show you my latest invention!" answered Sir C as he and everyone entered the garage. "Actually, I haven't quite finished it yet, but I'm just putting the finishing touches on it! I was hoping maybe I could get a helping hand with screwing the rest of the bolts

on!"

Inside the garage were numerous vehicles invented by Sir C. including Cherry Copters which were helicopters that looked like Cherries, Pineapple Tanks, The Pacherchini was was a zucchini shaped vehicle that could travel through time, and the Lemon Rocket, which was a rocket, created through Pac-Man's DNA.

Next to the vehicles was a giant vehicle that was covered by a large sheet.

Rocky then wagged his tail excitedly. He knew he was the perfect pup to finish screwing in bolts, since he was both a recycling pup and a mechanic.

"I can help Sir C!" said Rocky happily. "Arf Arf, screwdriver!"

Rocky's screwdriver came out of his pup pack, and then he walked towards the covered vehicle alongside Sir C. He then screwed the remaining bolts in the vehicle without actually seeing it, and then put his screwdriver away, while Sir C finished the opposite side.

"Thanks young pup!" said Sir C. happily. "You saved me a lot of trouble finishing this baby up!"

"No problem Sir C!" replied Rocky.

"So what's the big surprise Sir C?" asked Spiral.

"Feist your eyes on the greatest vehicle invented yet!" said Sir C. "Are you ready to see?"

"Yeah!" everyone shouted excitedly.

Suddenly, just as Sir C. was about to pull the covers off the vehicle, an alarm rang out, surprising everyone.

"Don't worry everyone, that's just the transmission alarm." responded Sir C. "I'll have to show you my invention later."

Everyone then made it back to the main lab, gathering in front of the giant TV.

"I wonder who would be calling at this time of the day?" asked Ryder.

"It's probably Sphero's." replied Sir C. "I asked him to call this afternoon for an important discussion."

The transmission on the TV finally became clear. To everyone's shock, it was none other than Lord Betrayus.

"SURPRISE! Mwahahahaha!" shouted Betrayus evilly.

"BETRAYUS!" everyone shouted.

"You were expecting the Easter Pac-Peep?!" sarcastically asked Betrayus. "I just figured I'd give you losers a call, so I could taunt you some more!"

"How in the blazes did you even get my number you fiend?!" angrily asked Sir C.

"Let's just say that I've got the best hackers below and above Pac-World!" replied Betrayus. "How did you like my surprise for you this morning?!"

"You call pup-napping Skye a surprise?!" furiously asked Chase. "That's low, even for you!"

"Now you can't hold me responsible!" replied Betrayus. "After all, I was busy watching television the entire time!"

"No, but you sent the Pacinator!" shouted Skye.

"Besides, he was no match for all of us at once!" angrily yelled Zuma.

"You all have peas for brains!" shouted Betrayus. "That was only Phase 1! I knew he was going to fail anyway! But that's where Phase 2 comes into play!"

"Which is?!" curiously asked Rubble.

"I want the Repository!" replied Betrayus who smirked. "And you're gonna hand deliver it to me personally!"

"Forget it!" shouted Pac-Man. "It will never happen in a million years!"

"You're not getting your body back!" added Ryder.

"If you wanna see your friends again, you'll cooperate!" back talked Betrayus.

"Who are you talking about?" asked Ryder.

Betrayus then dragged 2 hostages towards him so everyone could see. They couldn't believe who it was.

"KATIE AND CALI!" shouted everyone minus Sir C.

TO BE CONTINUED…

UH OH! HOW DID BETRAYUS KIDNAP KATIE AND CALI, AND WHO WILL RESCUE THEM? STAY TUNED…
