Meanwhile on the other side of town, the Air Patroller silently landed by the Beach Tower. Everyone walked out of the plane and into the tower where Mayor Goodway and Chickaletta, her niece and nephew, Julia and Julius, Mr. Porter and Alex, Captain Turbot and Francois, Daring Danny X, Jake, Farmer Al and Farmer Yumi, and Ms. Majorie and her pet raccoon Manier.
"Oh Ryder, thank goodness you all are here." Mayor Goodway said, sighing with relief.
"Yeah, we were just going on with our day when Sweetie, Mayor Humdinger, the Kitty Katastrophe Crew, Almuzar, and Harold's giant robot began trashing everything." Mr. Porter added.
"Yeah, and I thought Almuzar was dead." Francois commented, "Why does he look so alive?"
"Long story Francois dude." Zuma replied.
"What happened to you all?" Farmer Yumi asked, taking notice of the bandages around the pups' paws and Ryder's head.
"Yeah, you seven look like you haven't slept in awhile, and you look like you were in a fight." Captain Turbot added.
"Another long story." Skye replied.
"Wait, where's Cali?" Katie said worried.
"Don't worry she right here." Jake said as he walked up with Katie's beloved cat in his arms.
"Cali!!" Katie exclaimed as she took the cat in her arms. Cali, happy to see her owner again, gave her a lick.
"Ryder, what's our next plan?" Rubble asked.
"Not sure, but we need to find out what our enemies are planning next." the leader of the PAW Patrol replied.
"How are do we do that?" Everest asked, "They've taken over the Lookout."
"Plus, with Harold and his giant robot, we'll be spotted instantly." Chase added.
"That's why I installed secret listening devices in the Lookout just in case this happened again." Ryder said
"Wow, really?" Marshall said, his blue eyes wide.
"Yeah, just let me pull one up and let's listen." Ryder replied. He went over to the computer and began typing. "Let's try listening to anything from the past hour or two." He clicked on one of the files and it began playing. Voices began coming through.
"…Humdinger, tell your kittens to stop leaving their dirty fur everywhere!!!…" Sweetie's prissy voice yelled.
"…My kittens aren't dirty!!" Mayor Humdinger snapped, "And you want dirty, fine. Oh kittens…"
There was a noise like something being launched in the background and the Sweetie's shrieks came through.
"…You imbecile!!! I can't stand fish!!" the spoiled West Highland White Terrier shrieked whole Humdinger laughed.
"…Ruff, claw arm." Sweetie barked. No one was sure what happened next, but then Mayor Humdinger's voice came.
"No, not my beautiful hat!!" the sneaky mayor wailed. Sweetie was then heard laughing.
A raspy voice was then heard snarling at the fighting partners. After that, Harold was heard snapping at his uncle and Sweetie. Everyone was pretty shocked at what was going on.
"Alright, I've heard enough." Ryder said as he turned off the listening devices.
"It would seem that our villainous fiends don't particularly like each other very much." Captain Turbot said.
"Not surprising." Blaze said.
"True, villains don't really work well together." Richard added.
"Really?" Alex asked.
"Well, while villains may share the same ambitions, they may not like each other." Arthur replied.
"Why?" Julia and Julius asked.
"Personality conflicts, greed, unwilling to cooperate." Skyler replied.
"We could probably use that as an advantage." Arrby suggested, "If they're unwilling to back each other up, it might be easier to beat them."
"That could work." Charles replied, "But Almuzar has the Scepter of Immortality and all the elements. He could easily kill you."
"So we just have to unbind Almuzar's soul from the scepter." Chase said, "If we do that, we could beat them more easily."
"I agree with Chase." Skye said.
"Me too." Rubble added.
"And I still remember the unbinding spell." Ryder added.
"So then vamos!!" Tracker exclaimed.
"Hold on Tracker." Carlos said.
"Yeah, and besides, I haven't given you and Everest your gear yet." Ryder said. He pressed a button on his wristwatch, and a hatch opened. Inside were two pup packs and helmets. One was black and outlined in teal, and the other was black as well, but outlined in a jungle green color.
"Everest, your new grappling hook can let you climb places and swing from them quietly, and your goggles can help you see objects buried in snow and ice, along with camouflaged objects." Ryder said.
"Cool!!" Everest exclaimed, "Ice or snow, I'm ready to go!!"
"Tracker, your new Sonic Ear can help you hear the faintest sounds, such as secret conversations and even a person's breath." Ryder explained, "Your goggles can see hidden trip wires and booby traps. You also have a set of cables."
"I'm all ears, Todo Oidos!" Tracker exclaimed, waving his ears.
"You also have a camouflage mode." Ryder said, before turning to the other pups,"And don't worry, I will be adding a camouflage mode to yours as well. But I haven't finished your vehicles yet. And don't worry Sid and Arrby, I'm currently making gear for you two as well."
"It's ok." Everest said.
While everyone was talking, no one was aware that a certain green chew toy dressed in knights armor was watching them. At the Lookout, the villains were watching the techy 10 year old and his goody two-shoes pack of pups.
"Hmm." Sweetie snorted, "They didn't think it would that easy would it?"
"No." Almuzar replied calmly, "Harold, get your robot and get those pesky kids. And if the Canine Knights and the Princess are with them, get them as well."
"You got it sir." Harold said saluting as his helmet fell over his eyes, "I've really got to fix this thing." he grumbled as he walked away.
At the Beach Tower, the PAW Patrol, the Canine Knights, Sid, Arrby, Carlos, Katie, and the Princess all prepared to go up against the villainous quintet.
"Ryder, pups, be safe." Mayor Goodway said.
"We will." Ryder replied.
"And go kick evil's butt again!!" Daring Danny X exclaimed.
The group walked down the beach quietly and quickly. When they got into town, they quickly ducked into an alley.
"Tracker, use your Sonic Ear to listen for anything." Ryder whispered.
"Ruff, Sonic Ear." Tracker barked quietly. A device, almost similar to Rocky's Radar Scanner, popped out of his pups pack. He then began listening quietly. "I'm not hearing much. Sounds like it's safe."
The group then quietly made their way across the street. As they did, they had a feeling that something was watching them.
"Uh, anyone else have the feeling that we're being watched?" Katie asked wearily,
"Very much so." Arrby said.
"Me too." Sid added.
"That's because you are." Harold's voice called out. All of a sudden, the giant purple and gray robot suddenly appeared in front of the horrified group.
"PAW Patrol, prepare to be captured!!" Harold said as he laughed.
"RUN!!!" Chase exclaimed.
The PAW Patrol tried to outrun the robot, but since the pups didn't have their superpowers this time, all 8 of them were captured.
"Let them go Harold!!" the Princess yelled.
Harold just laughed. A net was launched from the robot's hand and captured her. The Canine Knights tried to free their descendants and the Princess, but seven more nets were launched and captured the spirits.
"Finally, victory is mine. HAHAHAHA!!!" Harold maniacally laughed. The robot then stomped away carrying the captive pups. However during the confusion, Carlos, Sid, Arrby, and Katie had been able to hide and avoid capture.
"On no, what do we do?" Katie asked.
"Let's get back to the Beach Tower first." Carlos said.
And with that, the quartet quickly snuck away without anyone seeing them.
