A/N: I Forgot to mention that Alex, Francois, and Cap'n turbot left in chapter 25.
Chapter 26: Decker VS Marshall Pt 2. A Demon Awakens.
When both pups collided Marshall surprising had the upper hand he continued to cut Decker all over the place, "I LOVE IT!" Decker smiled wildly as he keep getting cut. "How have your injuries healed? And how come you're so much stronger all of a sudden?" Marshall pushed Decker backwards before connecting with a huge slash to Decker shoulder causing more blood to flood out of it. "This battle has opened the door to so many more questions!" Decker knocked MArshall back a couple feet. "But i'm willing to let that go for the meantime let's just have fun with this fight". Decker thrusted his claw forward and cut Marshall cheek, Marshall responded by cutting Decker cheek as well.
"Farmer Yumi what just happened to Marshall?" Rubble asked Yumi sighed.
"I might as well tell you all Marshall secret unlike all of you who are currently yellow belts, Marshall is a black belt in pup fu", Yumi said.
"WHAT!" the others yelled.
"Wait Marshall is a black belt in pup fu!" Chase yelled in amazement.
"Yes Marshall has a gift in pup fu unlike any other he mastered the basic in just 5 days so i began to teach him more advanced techniques I took him on a couple trips as well to a tournament where he got 5th place out of 64 other pups. Marshall truly has a gift in pup fu this is a technique called Healing Aura, Marshall can force his cells to regrow there for sealing damaged areas, he is also using a technique called energy eruption this drastically increases his energy for only 2 minutes", Yumi explained.
"That's amazing so Marshall can heal any injury and is currently stronger than Decker right now?" Skye asked.
"Marshall can't heal any injury on his body the healing aura takes way too energy to use so he can only use it twice and the energy explosion also takes a lot of energy in two minutes Marshall will be a sitting duck", Yumi explained. "However it doesn't matter Marshall has won this duel there is no way that pup can outlast Marshall attacks for very long".
"You're wrong about my grandson", Destiny appeared next to them with a broken camera. "Forgive me ryder you're device couldn't handy my speed".
"That's okay i still have robo dog", said Ryder.
"Excuse me what do you mean by i'm wrong?" Yumi asked.
"Very simple Decker loves to fight he may seem like a nice pup but when he is fighting an opponent as strong as Marshall is. He loves it and right now he is having the time of his life the last animal he fought that pushed him this far over his limit was Aslan the king of the bobcats", Destiny said simply.
"Believe miss but Marshall still has a couple tricks left and you're grandson looks to be losing", Yumi said.
"We'll see who wins", Destiny sat down and closed her eyes.
"THIS IS GREAT! NOW WE'RE HAVING SOME FUN!" Marshall looked at Decker with a look of disbelieve.
"What is wrong with you! Aren't you afraid of dying!" Marshall screamed.
"Afraid of death? Of course I am but that doesn't matter, I love to fight once i lost my mother I began to enjoy fights just like she did", Decker stood on his hind legs and slammed his paws together. His body slowly began to heal.
"Wait Decker can heal his body too!" Rocky yelled.
"Yes he told me when he found me in the jungle but he said that he could only do it once a month", said Skye.
"Not true Decker can use that technique one more time but it won't be as strong as the originally one", Destiny explained.
Marshall got back on his guard Decker looked at Marshall and smirked before they met head on again going paw to paw, "30 seconds left until my power boost ends I need to finish this". Marshall pushed Marshall away and rushed forward he connected with a huge punch knocking Decker down, he then connected with a huge kick to Decker's jaw sending him flying into the air. Marshall jumped up and wrapped his forelegs around Decker's waist he began to spin them both around. "Primary lotus!" they both slammed head first into the ground causing a huge explosion of dust.
"What move was that?" Zuma asked in amazement.
"The primary lotus a forbidden technique", Yumi looked surprised as well, "Marshall knows how dangerous that move is this proves that Marshall is taking this seriously he wouldn't use that technique unless he had too".
When the dust settle Marshall was standing tall and Decker was down and out, "He won Marshall really won!" Chase shouted out the pups began to cheer.
"I knew he could win", Rubble cheered.
"I can't believe it he actually won", Skye said in disbelief.
"Marshall really did didn't he", Rocky high pawed Zuma.
"Marshall did it he really did it", Chase cheered.
"It's not over yet", the pups stopped celebrating and looked at Destiny.
"What do you mean look Decker is down and look Marshall one!" Chase yelled.
"It's not over yet", Destiny nodded towards the screen and Decker stood back up. "See Decker wouldn't have been defeated that easily".
Marshall looked at Decker with a shocked expression on his face, "Impossible". Decker stood up and cracked his neck a couple times.
"Okay i'll give you that one Marshall that really hurt", Decker looked at Marshall and smirked, "But it wasn't enough to bet me". Decker walked towards Marshall with a slight limp, Marshall stood up but fell right back down.
"Farmer Yumi why can't Mawshall move?" Zuma asked after watching Marshall attempt to get back up 10 more times
"The primary lotus is a forbidden technique it's like a double edged sword while it can give the user a great chance to win against an enemy it can also put a huge strain on the body", Yumi explained Decker rushed forward and knocked Marshall back a couple feet. "Dang it! That move should have finished the fight!'
Decker rushed forward again and forced Marshall onto his hind legs, "let's finish this wold technique number 20 2 paws 24 strikes", Decker began his assault until he reached 24 he jumped backwards and Marshall couldn't' move. "Red eye technique thunderclap". Decker rushed towards Marshall looking to end this match up.
"NO! I can't let it end here not now I won't", Marshall thought back to yesterday.
Flashback…
"Marshall we don't have a lot of time to work with so we have to do this fast this technique is forbidden not even masters of pup fu are allowed to use this technique but I can see that this is really important to you so i'm going to teach. But you need to promise me that you'll only use this technique to…..". Marshall only nodded.
End Of Flashback….
"I am not going to lose to you, sensei Yumi please let this work it is now or never!" Marshall closed his eyes and the air around him began to shift. Decker went for thunderclap but Marshall held up his paw and blocked the attack stopping Decker in his tracks.
"What!" Decker looked at Marshall in amazement.
"TO PROTECT AND SAVE THE ONE'S I LOVE!" Marshall punched Decker sending him flying across the ground. Decker dug his claws into the dirt to stop himself, a green aura surrounded his body and large red veins appeared on his head. "THE THIRD GATE! GATE OF LIFE OPEN!"
"No you didn't!" Destiny looked at Ryder's pup pad.
"Yes miss Destiny i did!" Yumi answered.
"So that puppy knows how to open the eight inner gates and use the hidden lotus", Destiny said in amazement.
"Yes he does".
Destiny growled before stopping herself. "Okay then how many of the inner gates can he open now!?"
"6 gates!"
"What are these eight inner gates?" asked Rocky.
"Pups there are gateways in the energy network these gates are designed to limit the flow of energy through the body however one can force the gates open", Destiny explained. "Starting from the head we have the gate opening, of rest, of life, of pain, of joy, of shock, and the last gate the gate of death".
"And the hidden lotus?" asked Ryder.
"The hidden lotus is a combination of blinding speed and power no one can last long against it, the primary lotus opens the first gate the gate of opening. It releases the brains restraints on the muscles allow the body to use it full power you've seen the results", Yumi added.
"But just the primary lotus took so much out of him what will the this attack do?" asked Skye.
"My point exactly by opening all eight gates you can gain power 100 times your original the only problem is you'll….. Die", Yumi said sadly,
The pups looked at Marshall with concern as the green aura around him grew bigger and bigger, "4TH GATE, GATE OF PAIN OPEN!" Tears flowed out of Marshall eyes as the pain he felt grew bigger and bigger with a howl of fury Marshall rushed forward. He began to deliver devastating punches to Decker each one sending him flying across the ground. Decker couldn't even gain his footing before another punch came and knocked him back Marshall appeared under him and connected with a huge kick to Decker jaw sending him flying into the air. Marshall began an all out assault knocking Decker all over the place not letting up for a second. "YOU'RE A TOUGH ONE DECKER!" Marshall landed on the ground and jumped back into the sky. "BUT THIS WILL FINISH YOU!" Marshall leaped above Decker and began to spin around like a wheel he connected with a huge kick sending Decker crashing towards the ground. "NOW TO FINISH THIS FIFTH GATE, GATE OF CLOSING OPEN!" Marshall rushed toward Decker.
"No pup can move like this impossible to defend myself!" Decker activated blue eye when something happened his eyes turned white and 2 dots appeared. "I can see!" Decker watched in amazement as time slowed down for him and he was able to counter Marshall attack Decker put everything he had into his air paw technique and sent Marshall flying back into the air.
"Impossible the hidden lotus can be blocked!" Yumi shouted in surprisement.
"Decker was able to see does that mean…", Destiny suddenly realized what happened. "Decker unlocked his second awakening white eye!"
"What is white eye?" asked Chase.
"White eye releases the body retrains on the eyes!" Destiny could only smile. "Decker you've grown so much stronger".
Decker landed on the ground as did Marshall they stood apart from each other each breathing heavily Destiny could see that Decker eyes only had two black dots not three meaning her hadn't unlocked it fully this was just a basic form. Both pups rushed forward and attacked they went toe to toe in a true battle of power. Decker was barely able to deflect each of Marshall attacks (and i mean BARELY) Marshall screamed in pain with blow as the pain was beginning to slow him down.
"What is happening to Mawshall?" asked Zuma.
"His muscles are tearing themselves apart!" Yumi looked scared she knew that Marshall might now be able to handle this move it was too much pressure on a pup's body.
Both Decker and Marshall jumped back and ran forward again with blinding speed.
"HIDDEN LOTUS!" Marshall shouted, his paw became green and he rushed forward, "SIX GATE GATE OF JOY OPENING OPEN!" Marshall screamed in pain as he heard something crack.
"THUNDERCLAP!" Decker felt blood rush out his left eye as a white energy formed around his paw, when the two blows colloid a huge shockwave erupted and flattened multiple trees. They was also a giant dust cloud and when the dust settled only Decker was left standing Marshall was laying face down on the ground unconscious. "Good fight!" Decker said as white eye deactivated and he walked away, "Everest is as good as dead!"
In Marshall head he was locked in a cage, "What is going on where I am!" Marshall locked around but he could only see white.
"I thought I already warned you Marshall that if you show any weakness that i'd take over!" Marshall's eyes widened at that voice.
"No it can't be! Please don't do this I can win I don't need your help!" Marshall screamed as he tried to break the bars of his cage.
"Nope I warned you now watch as I destroy that pup!"
Outside of Marshall's body there was a huge explosion of energy and Decker turned around to see Marshall getting up and he a dark energy around him, "What the hell-" Marshall rushed forward and knocked Decker back. "This is impossible what the hell are you!"
Marshall began to chuckle evilly, "you wanna know who I am''. The black energy around Marshall began to form a black mask that covered half of Marshall's face. "I have no name! HAHAHAHAHA!" Marshall rushed forward and cut Decker leg before kicking him backwards. "MARSHALL WHAT A COMPLETE YOU ARE YOU DIDN'T NOTICE THAT THE HIDDEN LOTUS WAS DESTROYING YOUR BONES ALL YOUR BONES ARE CREAKING FROM THE STRAIN YOU REALLY ARE A HOPELESS WIMP!" Marshall body took on the green energy of the inner gates again. "NOW DECKER I'LL SHOW YOU THE TRUE POWER AND HOW I USE THIS TECHNIQUE!"
"What just happened to Marshall!" Chase yelled.
"Pups I didn't want to tell you but it looks like i have no choice that is Marshall's inner demon", the pups looked surprised and scared at the same time.
"Fawmew Zume what do you mean?" Zuma asked.
"The reason why Marshall is so happy and carefree is all the negative feeling he feels are sent to him Marshall accidently allowed this demon to enter his heart and feed on all the negative feelings he has", Yumi shuddered a bit as she thought about the day when she found out about this demon. "Marshall can't control this demon and once it takes over it is extremely hard to get rid of
".
"So he is basically Marshall bad side", said Skye.
"Yes but much much worse", they looked back at the screen to see Decker literally being manhandled by this demon. Decker was being knocked back and forth not even his blue was working and his white eye wouldn't activate at all! Decker jumped back and looked up at Marshall enraged.
"Marshall I don't where you got these power from or what the hell you are but i won't lose to you!" A dark aura surrounded Decker and it began to form 2 more heads from the energy. "Demon aura 3 head style cerberus!" Decker rushed forward and tried to bite down on Marshall but he only smirked and with a single punch dropped Decker to the ground. Marshall jumped up and stabbed Decker in his back, Decker yelped loudly he pushed Marshall off his back and jumped away. "Cerberus style thunderclap". Decker went for his last chance thunderclap mixed with his demon aura but Marshall only smirked and landed a huge kick sending Decker flying back.
"You're too weak and now you're gonna die!!" Marshall rushed forward and began to cut Decker everywhere he could. Decker fell to the ground panting as a single tear rushed down his face. "Are you ready for death!" Marshall thrusted his paw towards Decker's head.
"Don't do it!" Skye yelled.
"Marshall this isn't you!" Ryder cried out.
Decker jumped backward and looked at Marshall, "Marshall you you…. Hahahahahahahahaha HAHAHAHAHA AHHAHAHAHAHA!" Decker began to laugh like crazy.
"I see you want one more laugh before you die!" The mask on Marshall face now covered most of his face except his left eye.
Decker looked up at the sky and smiled, "Finally i found my equal actually you might be slightly better than me…", Decker looked at MArshall with a crazy grin on his face. "It's been such a long time since i've felt such a rush", Decker suddenly bit into his forward and tore out a chunk of flesh.
"What did he do that for?" asked Rubble.
"Maybe he is going to kill himself", Chase said with a slight smile.
"But then we can't get the antidote!" said Ryder.
"NO DECKER DON"T YOU DARE!" Destiny suddenly yelled everyone look at her, "impossible he shouldn't even know about that!" She thought to herself she suddenly howled loudly into the sky and 5 more wolfs rushed out the forest.
"You call my queen?" One of them said with a bow.
"I want these pups and human taken to camp prepare immediate medical attention for his pup and Decker as well as get the sealing squad ready immediately gather my sisters and prepare!" Destiny ordered the wolves nodded and three of them ran off. "Ryder i will let you know who wins take you machines and follow these 2 to my camp and wait!"
Ryder looked at Destiny surprised, "No we can't leave yet!"
"Ryder just go now!" Destiny ordered.
"Why?" Destiny took a deep breath.
"I need to tell you this Decker is about to remove something very dangerous you are all in danger please just do as I say!" Ryder only nodded his head. "Also go back and get you sick friends I will have my medical team work on the antidote".
"Pups follow these wolves to their camp no if ands or buts miss Destiny will explain later", the pups took one last look at the screen before Chase turned it off. Ryder called back robo pup and they took off.
Back with the fight, "Marshall I feel like that against you!" Decker pulled out a white stone that gave off a bright yellow glow. "I feel like I can fight with no restraint at all!" Decker threw the stone on the ground and a huge yellow aura exploded into the air.
"What did you just do?" Decker looked at Marshall with an evil grin and began to shake. "I can see your energy just got sky rocket trying something new are we?" Evil Marshall mocked.
"HA there is no way that I would be a coward and use a tactic like that my grandmother had this little stone planted inside me it drains huge amount of my energy, now that i've taken it off i'm releasing 100% of my true power!" Decker smiled evilly . "And i'm gonna use every last bit of it to kill you!"
"Kill me HA you're underestimate me i'm nothing like Marshall that weakling I much more stronger!"
"THEN PROVE IT!"
"I Will!
Both pups rushed forward and a huge shockwave was felt across the jungle.
Meanwhile in Marshall's head…
Marshall POV…
Why can't i ever do anything right I just can't do it look at me now i'm trapped in a cage with no hope of ever escaping and once he wins then he'll be in control and I won't be. All because i'm not strong enough I will never be anything even after opening the eight gates I still couldn't win and now I still can win he took control and he will never give me control back!
I could only watch as Decker and him went toe to toe neither could get the advantage over the other I felt tears rush down my face and I lost it I started to cry uncontrollable I've lost.

"I know you're not giving up", my eyes snapped open and standing in front of me was a husky pup it had snow white fur and blue eyes, it took me a minute to notice that this pup also had snow white wings. "Well are you giving up?"
I only sighed and looked away from him "what choice do I have i'm locked in a cage and I can't get out of here!" I didn't mean to yell but I felt completely helpless he locked me a cage and I can't escape.
The pup walked over to me and opened my cage door and held out his paw, "come on the door is open now". I looked up strangely at the pup before accepting his paw. "Now tell me this why are you fighting against such a powerful opponent?"
"Because I have no choice my friend is in trouble and if I don't win she'll die", I looked at the ground and sighed. "But i'm too weak that's why he took over and now i'll never be able to escape from here".
"You're not weak pup you're really strong you've been fighting this pup for a long time and you've been in this fight since the first punch you're stronger than you think", I felt more tears rush down my face even more. "You can win pup but you need my help but first let's seal that demon shall we".
"How can we he's much too powerful I can't do it!" I shouted in fury.
"Yes you can and you know it you're more powerful you can do it Marshall trust me", I looked at the pup and realized one thing. Who i'm fighting for Everest that's who I closed my eyes and thought one thing.
GIVE ME MY BODY BACK!
Back to the fight Decker and him we're at a standstill unlike any other they we're both smirking at each other but Decker had taken the most damage but still smiling. "What are you're not Marshall are you a demon", He only smiled.
"Who cares I Don't need to tell you anything because when i'm done with you you're gonna!"
"DISAPPEAR!" Suddenly Marshall paw grabbed the opening of the mask.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"I DON'T NEED YOU STOP INTERFERING!"
"YOU'RE THE ONE INTERVENING LET GO OF ME DON'T YOU GET IT i WAS ABOUT TO KILL HIM!" Marshall stumbled backward trying to stop himself. "YOU WILL WIN IF YOU JUST LET ME!"
"NO THIS MY BODY NOW LEAVE!" Marshall tore off the mask.
'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The dark energy retreated and the black mask slowly crumbled to piece. Marshall stood there panting he looked up and gasped at Decker true power, Decker howled loudly and rushed forward. Marshall took back two steps and prepared to run but something stopped him.
"Marshall don't you dare retreat don't you scare be afraid stand your ground and fight i'm right here and I will help you win", Marshall stopped moving and to him time slowed down a bit. "Now Marshall advance don't give an inch, never stop until the bitter end if you retreat than you'll age, be afraid then you'll die". Marshall only could watch as Decker grew closer and all his fear began to leave him and he now more confident than ever. "NOW MARSHALL SHOUT OUT MY NAME AND WE WILL DO THIS TOGETHER!" Marshall began to think and suddenly a name came to him a name that he never knew before but he could hear it clear as day.
"SILVEX!"
