Pups Save Carlos
It was a beautiful summer's day as the PAW Patroller rolled to the jungle. Carlos and Tracker had invited Ryder and the PAW Patrol for a jungle campout and to observe the local lion pride.
"I can't wait to see Carlos and Tracker" exclaimed Rubble.
"I can't wait to see the lions" stated Chase. "They're so fierce."
Pretty soon, the PAW Patroller pulled up to a clearing where Carlos and Tracker were waiting. Decked out in their safari gear, Ryder and the pups stepped out to greet their friends.
"Hi Ryder, hi pups, welcome back." said Carlos in a friendly tone.
"Hola amigos" spoke Tracker to his fellow canine teammates.
After greeting each other, everyone went to work setting up their campsite for the night. Normally it would take a few hours; however, with Rocky's tools and Chase's organisation, they were done in 10 minutes flat.
"All done, great job pups" proudly said Ryder.
"Now, let's go and see the lions" said Carlos excitedly. "One has just had a baby."
Amazed at the fact they were going to a baby lion, the PAW Patrol pups followed Carlo's to their home. It was in a clearing near the river with grass and rocky surfaces.
"There they are!" cried Marshall.
"SSSHHH!" said everyone else. "The lions mustn't know we're watching them".
Pointing to edge of the river, everyone saw the youngest member of the pride, a baby lion.
"It's so cute" squealed Skye.
"It kinda looks like us" observed Zuma, noticing the resemblance between their shape and furry appearance.
After watching the lion pride for what seemed like hours, the pups began to yawn. Deciding to head back to the campsite, everyone enjoyed roasting marshmallows whilst telling spooky stories. Soon after, everyone headed into their tents to call it a night.
"Good night" everyone called in unison.
As the night progressed, everyone was snoozing happily. Everyone except Carlos. A high pitched sound had woken him. Because it sounded like an animal in distress, Carlos took a torch and went to investigate, on his own!
Searching through the trees and bushes, Carlos soon found where the sound was coming from. It was coming from the baby lion they had been watching earlier. The poor thing had wandered off from the lion pride and got his paw stuck in a small hole in the ground.
"It's OK little guy, I'll get you out" said Carlos in a calming tone.
Pulling out a small shovel, he began to dig around the hole in order to make it bigger. Eventually, the hole was big enough for the baby lion to pull itself out. Happy to be free, the lion tried to run, but he couldn't. The fall must have injured his paw.
"Don't worry, I'll take you home" said Carlos happily. Scooping the little ball of fuzz up in his arms, Carlos set off for the lion pride; little did he know he was walking right into danger.
Seeing the rest of the pride still asleep, Carlos gently put the baby lion down on a rock. Waving a goodbye, the baby lion tried to roar. BIG MISTAKE! The sound had awoken the rest of the lion pride. Thinking Carlos was a threat, they went straight for him. Scared, poor Carlos ran and managed to scramble himself onto a high rock. But he knew he wouldn't be able to stay up there forever.
"I hope the others come and save me soon" he said to himself, scared stiff as the lions roared down below trying to climb the rock to get to Carlos.
By the time the PAW Patrol awoke, it was morning.
"Good morning, up and at em every pup" cried Chase, trying to get everyone out of bed.
"Just five more minutes, please" yawned Rocky.
Just then, there came a cry, it was Tracker. "Carlos is gone!"
Everyone searched nearby, but Carlos was nowhere to be seen. Realising this was an emergency; Ryder summoned the pups to PAW Patroller with his Pup Pad.
"PAW Patrol, to the PAW Patroller!" he shouted.
"Ryder needs us!" they cried together as their Pup Tags lit up.
Once aboard, after getting caught in Marshall's latest clumsy moment, the pups fetched their pup packs and took their seats in the cab, including Tracker.
"PAW Patrol, ready for action Ryder sir" stated Chase.
"Alright pups, we all know Carlos went missing during the night" said Ryder. "We have to find him." "First up, Skye." "I need you and your copter to search for Carlos from the air."
"This pup's gotta fly" Skye yelled and flipped in response.
"I'll also need, Tracker." Ryder moved onto next. "I need you to use your cables to search through the tree tops."
"I'm all ears" Tracker responded, eager to find his owner and best friend.
"Alright, PAW Patrol is on a roll" cried Ryder as Skye, Tracker and himself set off in their vehicles whilst the rest of the pups tracked Carlos' cell phone signal from the PAW Patroller.
"Carlos' signal is about a mile north of you Skye" radioed Rocky.
"On it" she replied. "Ruff, goggles!" she barked, activating her goggle vision.
Reaching the signal, Skye found herself hovering over the lion pride. The sound of her rotors didn't make them happy. Thankfully she was high enough to be out of harm's way. Zooming in, she spotted Carlo's waving to her from the rock.
"Ryder, I found him!" she shouted through the radio. "But he's stuck on a rock with lions below!"
Before setting off to the scene, Ryder called the rest of the pups to join him; he knew they might need a couple sets of paws to get Carlos out of this pickle. Once they all arrived, Ryder ordered Skye to send down her harness. This proved to be a bad idea as the wind blew it around, enough for the lions to grab it and rip it to shreds.
Marshall and Rubble gulped.
"How are our tools supposed to go up against creatures like that?" asked Zuma.
"They won't" stated Ryder, leading to confused looks on the pups faces. "You pups will have to use your canine instincts on this one."
The pups were in shock. Use their canine instincts, what canine instincts? They were cute fluffy talking pups with underdeveloped barks that save the day, aka not scary in the slightest.
"RUFF RUFF!" came a sudden loud noise; everyone looked around to see where it was coming from. Even the sound startled the lions, causing them to take their focus off Carlos.
"LOOK!" cried Tracker, pointing to the other side of the river. "IT'S CHASE."
There was Chase, the biggest, fiercest, bravest, fastest, and strongest pup of the group confronting the lions by himself. Everyone was shocked, amazed and worried all rolled into one.
"Be careful Chase!" called Skye from her copter; she was for the pup she loved.
With the lions coming straight at him, Chase managed to dodge them using his quick canine reflexes. This gave Carlos enough time to climb down the rock and out of the clearing to join Ryder and the others. They sat and watched. They knew Chase was brave, but they had never seen him do something so dangerous. Once Chase saw that Carlos was safe, he knew he needed to get out of there. Running to the bushes, the lions blocked his way.
Seeing his No.1 pup starting to lose his nerve, Ryder called to him, "Dig deep Chase, find your bark!"
With that advice, Chase stood firm, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and unleashed a bark like no other, "RUUUUUUUUUFFFFFFFF!"
Everyone covered their ears as the sound make the ground shake and the trees blow. The sound was so loud that the lions fell flat to ground. Once it was over, the lions cowered away in fear. Once reunited with his friends, Chase faced shocked faces.
"Wow Chase, I didn't know you could bark like that!" exclaimed Rubble.
"Neither did I" Chase replied. "All I knew was I had to protect you guys and get Carlos out of there."
"And you did just that" came a voice, it was Carlos. "Chase, if it wasn't for you, I would've become a late night lion snack."
"Don't worry Carlos, if you're ever in trouble, just yelp for help" said Chase happily.
After having quite enough adventure for one day, Ryder decided it was best they all went home. Waving goodbye to Carlos and Tracker, the PAW Patroller left. That night, everyone at the Lookout was asleep, except for Ryder. He was thinking about what had happened today and reading through an old book given to him by his parents before they died.
"The legend is true."
"Chase is the one."
Authors Note: Hi all, I hope you liked Carlos' story. Something I would like to say to all my readers is about the negative reviews I've had lately. There's a difference between constructive criticism and being hurtful, like telling me I'll fail my college assessments because I fail at writing these stories or I should kill myself. Therefore, I politely ask that you keep your nasty comments to yourself rather than publish them. Next up will be Katie, here's a sneak peek: It's Adventure Bay Pet Day, and Katie is busier than ever. But during an armed pet robbery, she must find a way to call Ryder without risking her or any of the pets lives'. Will she do it and will Ryder be her knight in shining armour?
