"What did you pups do?!" Sweetie yelled, "Why isn't it working?!"
"Because that's not the Element of Love at all." Ryder replied with a smile.
"We know that in order to stop you, we had to outsmart you." Marshall said.
Sweetie, Humdinger, the kittens, and Almuzar were shocked, realizing that they had been tricked.
"Yeah, and we couldn't just give you the ruby, so we borrowed a copy from the Princess." Chase said.
"Ha, and did you really this plan was gonna stop us?" Sweetie asked in a snotty tone.
"No, the plan wasn't to stop you." Rocky replied, "The plan was just to stall you."
"You...You were a distraction!" Humdinger exclaimed.
Just at that moment, Sid Swashbuckle swung down on a rope and grabbed the Diamond of Mortality off of the scepter. Arrby then followed, grabbing the topaz, yellow diamond, and pink diamond. The Princess ran up and grabbed the sapphire and emerald. The three of them stood next to the team.
"Nice plan Marshall." the Princess said before turning to Sid and Arrby, "Must be nice to put your stealing skills to good use."
"Arrgh, it sure is." Sid said.
"Uh guys, I don't think we're done just yet." Rubble said gesturing to the quartet.
The quartet was still standing there, and they were angrier and scarier than ever. Especially Almuzar as his eyes were beginning to glow red.
"That's it!" Mayor Humdinger yelled, his gold eyes flaming with fury, "I've been outsmarted by you meddling mutts for too long, and I'm not going to stand for it anymore!"
"Knights!" Almuzar yelled. Knights dressed in black armor surrounded the team. "Get them." he said in a dark tone.
"Pups, you know what to do." Ryder said.
"Mission PAW is on a roll!" they exclaimed.
And with that, the team went into battle. Marshall used his Hydro Launcher to disarm the knights and to knock them over, along with Rubble, who used his Construction Claw. Skye used her wings to distract the knights so the others could take them down. Rocky and Zuma used their skills in Pup Fu to help. Chase used his net to catch some of the knights, and Ryder, despite being injured, outmaneuverd them and helped the pups. And the Princess, Sid, and Arrby fought as well.
"Hmm impressive." Almuzar said, "They're more skilled than I originally thought."
"What do we do sir?" Sweetie asked.
"Just wait my dear." Almuzar replied.
After several more minutes, all the knights had been taken down. The team then faced the quartet, who were angrier and scarier then before. The fact that a princess, a nerdy 10 year old, six goody two shoe pups, and two reformed pirates took down their soldiers angered them to the core.
"Is that all you got?" the Princess asked.
Almuzar's eyes were glowing blood red, and a black aura surrounded him. "Oh far from it." he growled. He then chanted a spell, and the knights stood up. "Kill them." the vengeful sorcerer commanded.
The PAW Patrol, the Princess, and the piarates battled the knights again, but it was twice as hard and exhausting. Ryder gritted his teeth as the pain in his side and head flared once again. One of the knights then picked up Arrby and tossed him, causing him to knock over Sid. The jewels the two had fell out of their hands and scattered on the floor.
"Sweetie, kittens, get the jewels." Almuzar commanded.
Sweetie and the kittens quickly charged into the chaos to grab the elements. The pups tried to stop her, but the knights and exhaustion stopped them. The Princess was then knocked over by a knight and the sapphire and emerald fell out of her hands. The ruby fell out of her belt and slid across the floor.
"Quick, get the ruby!" Almuzar yelled.
Chase, noticing this, quickly ran over to try to get the ruby, but the kittens surround him, causing him to sneeze his head off while Sweetie grabbed the other three gems.
"No!" Chase yelled.
Everyone stopped fighting and watched in horror as Sweetie and the kittens returned all seven jewels to Almuzar.
"Thank you my dear." Almuzar said as he turned to the team with a wicked smile, "Did you really think your plan would work? Sorry PAW Patrol, but you won't stop us."
Almuzar put all the jewels in their places and placed the white diamond back on top of the scepter. The six jewels fed into the diamond, and Almuzar's power grew. His aura glowed brighter, and the sky outside grew darker.
"Oh no!" the Princess yelled.
"Finally, now I have the power." Almuzar said as he turned to the team, "Did you honestly think you could beat me? Three kids and seven pups? Ha!"
"Our plan may have failed, but that doesn't mean we won't stop trying." Marshall said defiantly.
"How so?" Sweetie asked smiling.
"Yeah, we have power, and you have nothing." Mayor Humdinger added.
"No, but we have each other." Chase said, "Because we're the PAW Patrol, descendants of the Canine Knights of Barkingburg, and protectors and guardians of Adventure Bay."
Almuzar chuckled before saying, "Wow, you remind me a lot of your ancestors. But unfortunately, you're pests just like them." The scepter began glowing, and he pointed it at the pups. "Goodbye PAW Patrol." he snarled.
A bolt of magic shot from the diamond and towards the pups. But at the last minute, Ryder jumped in front of the pups, and the bolt hit him and sent him flying across the room. He landed on the floor and groaned at the extensive pain.
"Ryder!" the pups screamed. They turned toward the villainous quartet with fury flaming in their eyes.
"How dare you hurt him!" Skye yelled.
"Don't blame Almuzar." Sweetie said, obviously amused.
"Yeah, if there's one thing we know about you pups, it's that Ryder would do anything to save you. Even risk his own life." Mayor Humdinger added.
"True. And that flaw can be fatal if you're not careful." Almuzar said smiling and his cold eyes gleaming.
The pups so badly wanted to lunge at Almuzar and hurt him badly for hurting Ryder. But they couldn't bring themselves to.
"I know you pups want to tear me to pieces." Almuzar said as if he read their minds, "But you can't bring yourself to. All your life you were taught to never hurt a living thing."
"Yeah, and we all know that will make you weak and lose easily." Sweetie added.
"Indeed it would. Now prepare to die." Almuzar said as he waved his scepter again, reviving the knights. Once more, the two groups battled. At this point, everyone was exhausted. They'd been fighting for several hours, but were nowhere close to beating the quartet.
Chase and Marshall quickly ran over to where Ryder was. Unfortunately, their leader was in worse shape. Some of the scratches had opened up and were now bleeding. He also had a bruise on the back of his head.
"Marshall, how is he?" Chase asked worryingly.
"Not good." Marshall replied, "He might have some internal bleeding. We have to stop this fight now, or he's gonna die."
One of the knights picked up Arrby again and threw him against the wall. Sid, worried for his furry companion, rushed over. But as the knight was about strike the pair, Skye flew above and grabbed the weapon.
"Almuzar!" Chase yelled, "Stop this now or Ryder's gonna die!"
"Not until I get my revenge." the sorcerer snarled. He raised his glowing scepter and was about to strike the German Shepherd, but Sweetie was thrown into Almuzar, which knocked him over. The scepter flew out of his hand, and the jewels scattered all over the floor.
"Quick, the jewels!" Almuzar yelled.
Sweetie and the kittens grabbed the jewels once again, whilst Mayor Humdinger went to grab the diamond. But seeing the pups made him want revenge for all the times they stood him up.
He grabbed a mace and was about to go after the pups, but he misjudged the weight of the mace. The weight pulled him down, and the mace landed on the diamond, shattering it.
"NOOO!" Almuzar yelled as he rushed over to the remains of the diamond. Without the diamond, the knights fell to the floor and the armor fell apart.
"YOU IDIOT!" Almuzar yelled as he pushed Mayor Humdinger down. He tried piecing the diamond back together, but his hair began graying and his skin wrinkling.
The team noticed this and ran over with Sid and the Princess holding up Ryder. They saw Almuzar aging fast and vanishing in front of them.
"What are you looking at?" he snarled as he looked at his enemies' descendants.
"Almuzar, even after all you've done to us and our ancestors, we're willing to forgive you." Rocky said.
"Yeah, let us help you dude." Zuma added, "We can help you have a normal life."
"Well, I don't forgive you." he growled, "The Knights stopped me from getting what I deserved and all I want is revenge."
The pups and Ryder were taken back. They realized that Almuzar had let his thirst for vengeance take over him. They couldn't save him.
"Just you wait PAW Patrol." Almuzar wheezed, "I will get my revenge."
And with that, Almuzar's body dissolved into nothing, leaving behind a black cloak. Everyone stood in silence.
Almuzar was dead. The battle was over.
