Chapter 9: Emotions
Everyone's eyes were fixed out the window, at this wedge tornado heading towards the PAW Patroller. There was nowhere they could drive, all the roads were more then likely flooded by the heavy rain which was falling across the Park.
"Brother I have an idea" Pedz says speaking up, she turned to Silvera "Where is the closes way down the canyon?'
"Mate, why would we want to go down there?" Silvera questions but Pedz smirks
Pedz looks at Ryder "Get robo dog to find a way down, trust me"
Ryder nods "Do it robo dog, and step on it" he orders, robo dogs barks and starts the PAW Patroller driving along the edge of the Canyon
Chase walks and sits beside Marshall, he looks at Everest who has fallen asleep with her head rested on Marshall's neck "How is she?" he questions Marshall
"She's weak, but that's to be expected" Marshall licks her cheek, she softly moans "She really did well giving birth"
Chase smiles "You both did really well, you have three gorgeous daughters, Uncle Chase is going to spoil them" he says and Marshall chuckles
Ryder heard Chase and laughs "Well Uncle Chase has to get back to his seat and buckle up" he says raising a brow at Shepherd
"Right, sorry Ryder sir" Chase replies and walked over to Skye, he jumps up beside her but he notices she looks upset "You ok Skye?" he whispers and kisses her cheek
Skye stares at Rocky, who is looking depressed "Why do you pups hate him so much?"
"We don't hate him, we just hate what he did to Marshall" Chase sighs and Skye leans against him "Not to mention he even tried to kill me" he added
"But Chase would you really want him to be killed? He saved your life doesn-'
Before she could complete her sentence, Chase presses his lips to hers "I forgive him Skye, but like I told him I can't forget" he says and kisses her again
In the meantime the PAW Patroller gets driven down into the Canyon, the tornado is rapidly approaching.
Marshall holds onto Everest, the brings his pups close to him and holds them as well, Skye is hugging Chase with her eyes shut.
"Now what?" Michael questions looking at the raging river in front of them
Mark notices the water level is rising "Um, there's a flash flood coming" he points down the River, and a wall of water is speeding towards them
"Crickey!" Silvera frowns "Now I'm worried"
Pedz chuckles "Ryder see that red button?" she asks
"Yeah?" Ryder walks over to the front and stands beside Robo Dog "What about it?"
"Simple, get Robo dog to drive into the River, and hit the button" Pedz replies with a smile across her face
Rocky looks at Ryder then the rangers and lastly Pedz "Are you mad? Drive into that water! It's suicide!"
"If we stay here, we'll either be swept away by the river anyway, or killed by the tornado" Rubble says in a scared voice "I'm too young to die!"
Ryder looks at his pups, then at Everest's and Marshall's pups, his eyes glance at the Rangers who are staring out the window, finally his eyes rest on Pedz
"Trust me brother, hit the button" Pedz places her hand on his shoulder
His hand hover over the button
"Do it Ryder" Marshall encourages, as Eclipse snuggles up to her sisters
Silvera looks up at the sky "Better hurry mate, the tornado is coming"
As she says that the wind whips through the Canyon shaking the PAW Patroller, a tree flies over the Canyon wall and lands in the water
All eyes turn to see more trees, along with branches, airborne flying high in the sky, the tornado must have hit a camp ground somewhere as there's what looks like a orange tent in the air, then comes the roar, it shakes the PAW Patroller, and the wind blows stronger.
"Um Ryder" Rocky stares at the river, a wall of water heads towards them
Ryder doesn't hesitate and slams his hand against the button.
Suddenly the PAW Patroller is lifted above the ground by a white rubber ring, which goes all around the PAW Patroller.
"What the-" Chase gasps as air begins to fill the rubber
"Totally awesome dude!" Zuma says giggling "Wyder I didn't know the PAW Patwollew had this!"
Ryder scratches his head in confusion "Neither did I"
"I did" Pedz chuckles and walks over to Ryder "I installed it" she smirks and hits a pink button
A red light flashes inside the PAW Patroller, Inch thick glass suddenly covers the windows, a series of metal blinds come out from under the PAW Patroller which reinforces the outside walls. Now the PAW Patroller looks like some type of Army tank, or Vehicle, but with a rubber tube around it.
"Wow" Ryder says in amazement "You did this Pedz?" he asks and she nods
Silvera gulps then turns around "Hold on! the flash flood is coming!"
Ryder buckles himself up, the rangers sit on seats and do the same, as do the pups.
Marshall pulls 4 straps and puts them across himself, Everest and their pups to secure them to the pup-bed
Within seconds, the PAW Patroller is hit by the water. The mere force by the impact knocks everyone unconscious.
...
Ryder is the first to wake up, he's not sure what happened or how long he's been unconscious for, but the PAW Patroller is on the bank of the river, the side door is wide open. Looking around he sees, Zuma, Chase, Rubble Skye, Everest plus her pups, the Rangers.
Wait! Marshall, Rocky and Pedz are not here!
Standing to his feet, he almost falls down his head is spinning, he made his way to Silvera and shook her awake
Silvera groans opening her eyes "R-Ryder? What happened?" She asks then stands up with his help
"I don't know" He shrugs, then notices the pups are waking up "Pups you all alright?"
"Yes Ryder sir" Chase says rubbing his head before realizing Skye is leaning against him
Ryder smiles "Zuma? Rubble Skye? you pups ok?"
They all nod, Skye continues leaning her weight on Chase
Everest wakes up "Marshall?! Where's Marshall?!" she asks looking worried
"Look" Mark stands to his feet and points out the door
There in the mud near the River's edge lies Marshall's pup-tag
"What about Rocky? And Pedz?" Anna questions checking on Everest
Silvera pulls out her communicator "Damn it, no bloody signal"
Ryder also looked at his pup-pad "Same here" he says scratching his head, then knelt next to Everest "I'm sure Marshall's fine Everest, he's strong remember" he wiped the tears from Everest's cheeks
"Well mate don't worry we'll find them" Silvera turned to Mark and Michael "I need you two, to go get the Search and Rescue Helicopter"
They both nodded and ran out of the PAW Patroller
"Wait till you see it Ryder, we upgraded our Helicopter" Silvera winked at him
"Oh I can't wait to see it!" Skye says somewhat excited.
Chase chuckled and licked her cheek "Of course you can't wait"
"Neither can I, I beat it looks totally awesome!" Zuma wagged his tail as Rubble approached Everest who was crying. He sat beside her.
"Everest? Ryder's right, Marshall will be alright" Rubble said trying to insure her, Eclipse suddenly snuggled up against Rubble's side, he felt himself blush
"She likes you" Everest wiped tears from her own face "You guys are right, Marshall's fine, I just know he is"
"That's the spiwit dude" Zuma grinned
...
Meanwhile Marshall opened his eyes to see he was in some type of cave, he tried to bring himself up on his paws back his front left paw ached and he fell down.
"Damn it" He sighed looking at his paw which was bandaged
"Marshall!" A voice he recognized yelled "Thank goodness, I was worried for a moment"
Marshall turned his head and sighed, relieved "Pedz what happened?" he asked and noticed she had a bandage on her right wrist.
"I am not entirely sure" Pedz sat down beside him "I woke on the River bank, then I found you" she looks down at his paw "You had a piece of wood lodged in it, so I removed the wood then bandaged it"
"Oh, well thank you" Marshall sighed "Are you ok though?" he asks her and she nods "What about the others? Everest? My pups? Are they ok?"
"I do not know" Pedz gently pet his head "I am not even sure where we are, after I found you unconscious, I discovered this cave"
Moans echo'd in Pedz and Marshall's ears, someone was outside the cave. They sounded hurt.
"Wait here" Pedz quickly stood up and ran outside the cave.
Marshall heard her gasp "Pedz? What is it?" he asks
After a few minutes of silence Pedz returned. Marshall felt his mouth drop.
There in Pedz arms laid a motionless Rocky, his once grey fur now covered in mud, blood was gushing out of a sound in his side, his tail seemed to be damaged, he also had a head injury.
As much as Marshall was afraid of Rocky, he couldn't let him die. He gulped as Pedz walked into the cave "Bring him here, let me examine him" he said surprising Pedz, but she didn't argue and gently laid Rocky beside him.
Marshall felt a tear escape his eye, his hatred against Rocky turned into worry and concern. His eyes examined Rocky's body. "Pedz this is bad, i can't help him here"
Pedz smiled. "It's alright, John is on his way in my Helicopter, we just have to keep him alive till then" She grabbed a cloth and began to clean Rocky's side wound "Look Marshall, you do not have to help me, I c-"
"No, I'd feel bad just laying here watching him die" Marshall struggled to sit up "Let me help"
Pedz nodded "Alright then, you know more about Medical then I do, so you let me know what you need and I will get it" She pulled over a backpack.
Marshall took a deep breath, he was still afraid of Rocky, actually he was terrified. He couldn't believe after every Rocky had done to him, he was helping him. Still, now isn't the time to be emotional. He sighed, putting his emotions aside and began to work to save Rocky's life.

A/N: I'm sorry it took so long to update this story, I've been working on two of my own stories (not PAW Patrol, actually not even fan fictions.) I'll try to update this one more, between my other two stories. Again sorry.
Oh and sorry if there's any errors in this chapter.
