Chapter 28: A Worthy Sacrifice
Rocky and Silvex were instantly swept down, Selena was next to Wendy and Ally when the floor waters hit and grabbed both pups
"Ahhhh!..." Rocky screamed unable to swim because he was frozen again in fear, his head being dragged under the water
Silvex grabbed Rocky and lifted him up above the surface. "I Got you Rocky!" Silvex said, strained
"No.. *cough* let me go, I know your still weak from that spell... you can't protect us both" Rocky said then suddenly became worried about Wendy
"I can still try Rocky, I may be drained Energy wise, but i still have my natural energy," Silvex said, pulling Rocky to shore. "We need to rescue the others!"
Rocky looked back at the once small stream, which was now a raging river "How?..." he saw Selena holding Ally and Wendy, without thinking he jumped back into the river "Wendy!" he yelled out before his head he a log knocking him under the water
"Sweet Celestia, How am I suppose to... Nerg!" Silvex groaned. He thought of Ryder hard as he began to readjust his body to accept power from the sunlight. 'Ryder? Ryder, are you there!?' he called out to the ten-year old
A helicopter noise was heard over head, as Skye's copter came into view 'We have this Silvex' Ryder replied driving his ATV towards the River
'I can help! If I use and readjust the Perception Filters on my ATV, I can help,' Silvex said
"Leave it to us dude" Zuma said driving passed Silvex with Marshall on his hovercraft
"Fine," Silvex said, a little put out as he stretched out his body in the sunlight, feeling energy surge in his system once more.
"Wocky! Whewe awe you?!" Zuma yelled out as he and Marshall scanned the flood water "Skye any luck?" Ryder asked also on the water "No Ryder I don't see him or any of the other pups anywhere" Skye replied searching from above
Once fully recharged, Silvex dove into the water, and swimming quite fast underwater, headed towards the group of pups
Rocky got dragged under the water his uniform got caught on a log, Bullnuts attempted to free him but tje current carried Bullnuts away 'Silvex...' Rocky managed to say in his mind before he blacked out due to the lack of oxygen
Silvex came along, and Freed Rocky from the log, and lfited him up to the Surface. "Stay with me Rocky!" He shouted
Rocky moaned trying to keep his eyes open "Silvex!" Skye yelled hovering over them "get in the harness" she yelled lowering it down
Once it was near, Silvex latched Rocky into the Harness, and Dove underwater again.
"Silvex what are you doing?!" Skye yelled out
'Just get him to safety Skye! Don't worry about me!' She heard in her mind.
'I can't leave you! We never leave our teammaets' Skye said back
'JUST DO IT! THAT IS AN ORDER FROM A GATEKEEPER!' She heard him yell. By now, Silvex was close to the rest of the group.
'Be careful' Skye said back to him
Silvex swam up to Selena, All, and Wendy, and biting on the back of the collar of her shirt, dragged Selena, Wendy, and Ally to shore.
"Thank you" Selena said breathing heavily "the rest of my team are still out there"
"How many pups?" Silvex asked
"8, including Andy and Roxy" Selena said
Silvex dove back into the water, One by One, he dragged all the pups back. He brought in Andy and Roxy by their chains, however.
"Why did you save us?" Roxy questioned coughing
"Because you may be utter idiots, but i said, Nobody dies. Alright?" Silvex said
"But we hate Rocky" Roxy said still coughing
"So? That is not a good reason as to why I shouldn't save you. You have lives to live." Silvex said
"Not very good lives" Roxy sighed and looked at her brother who was unconscious
"True, but at least it's a life, and not... a life." Silvex said. "Well, that should be the last of them..." Silvex huffed, out of breath again.
Skye lowered Rocky down next to Ryder who was waiting on the shore Ryder grabbed Rocky and felt for a pulse, he stopped as his eyes began to tear up "Wyder? What is it?" Zuma asked as he and Marshall approached him "He's gone" Ryder replied hugging the limp body
Silvex was guiding Selena to where Ryder was. "Ryder! What's is it?"
Ryder stood up holding Rocky in his arms "We were too late, i failed him"
"You mean...?" Silvex said
Ryder nodded unable to hold his tears back "Rocky's gone" he said as the tears flooded down his cheeks
"N-no..." Silvex said
"I've failed as his leader and owner" Ryder fell to the ground hugging the Mix-breed tightly "I'm so sorry Rocky!" The 10 year old burst out sobbing "Forgive me..."
Silvex lowered his head
Wendy ran over to Ryder "put him on the ground Ryder I will do CPR on him and being him back I will not loss my mate so easily" Ryder put Rocky on the ground as Wendy right away used her two front paws and started pushing down on his chest "one two three four five" Wendy gave Rocky mouth to mouth and blow air into him then went back to pushing on his chest "one two three four five come on Rocky don't die you are not allowed to die" Wendy once again gave mouth to mouth to Rocky and blow more air into him as she once again went back to pushing on his chest "one two three four five come on Rocky you are strong COME ON" Wendy blow more air into Rockys body as she then checked for a pulse she put her paw on his neck "... I got a pulse his alive" Wendy rolled Rocky onto his side so he could cough up all the water he took in "that was a close one I will keep I close eye on him from now on"
Rocky opened his eyes for a split second then his body started shaking violently "Rocky!" Ryder felt Rocky's pulse "Hes going into shock!"
Silvex was lost in thought, oblivius to the events going on.
"We have to get him back to your building Wendy" Ryder said holding Rocky in his arms
Wendy nodded "indeed we do and quickly let's go right now" Wendy started running towards her building
Ryder went to follow her but stopped and looked down at Rocky, who's body was limp "No! No! No! Not again!"
"Ryder?" Marshall looked up at him "What's wrong?"
Silvex was by Ryder's side instantly. "He's Dying, His body has gone too long without Oxygen. His aura is fading." His eyes were faintly glowing
"There's nothing that can be done then" Ryder said holding Rocky closely to him
"Well, Yes and No." Silvex said
"What do you yes or no! Dude speak english!" Zuma shouted "Wocky can't die! He just can't!"
Silvex removed his disguise. "No, because under normal Circumstances, but Yes, because I'm Here!" he said, spreading his wings out.
Luckily, Selena had taken the other pups to the medical building so it was only Ryder and the Paw Patrol remaining
"Silvex? You can save him?" Ryder asked still holding Rocky in his arms
"Yes, but this will get ugly," Silvex said. A beam of silver Mist connected between Rocky and Silvex's Chest.
Ryder knelt down "What are you doing to him Silvex?" he questioned, as Chase approached them from behind
"What's going on Ryder sir..." Chase froze seeing Rocky motionless in Ryder's arms and the silver beam "Is he?.."
"Now, this is gonna look harsh, i'm warning you," Silvex said as he drew out a silver and Dark blue Katana
"What the hell are you doing?!" Skye shouted at Silvex
"Regenerating." Silvex said, as he adjusted the sword, and sliced it into his body, through his heart, and out of his back. Blood flew everywhere
Skye fainted
Chase caught her but turned his head away "I can't watch"
The rest of the pups did the same
"How does regenerating help Rocky?!" Ryder yelled feeling Rocky's heart beat
Silvex groaned as he glowed Dark blue. "He... He can take my Regeneration!" Silvex said, as he glowed brighter, and the ground shook lightly
The beam turned Dark blue as Rocky did too. Slowly but surely, his heartbeat strengthened
Ryder started to relax "No wonder Pedz trusts you, but Silvex what about you?" he asked holding Rocky still
Silvex fell over, he had stopped glowing, and his wounds leaking a lot of blood onto the ground. "Don't... Don't... Don't... ... ... Worry..." Silvex moaned
"Ryder? is he?" Rubble said walking next to Ryder who was kneeling on the ground
"He's alive" Ryder cried tears of joy "Wendy, he's alive!"
Wendy cried tears of joy knowing her mate was alive and not dead "thank god his alive"
"Silvex?" Chase approached him "Why would you kill yourself for Rocky? Why?"
"Is Silvex?" Everest asked behind Rubble who was in tears
"Some... ... ... Lives are worth... Dying for..." Silvex said, then closed his eyes.
Ryder looked down at Rocky in his arms, who was breathing then at Silvex "Wendy is Silvex ...?"
Wendy walked over to Silvex and placed her paw on his neck to check for a pulse after a minute she closed her eyes then reopened them "I'm sorry everyone Silvex is dead I can't find a pulse"
"He's dead?" Ryder asked completely stunned "He can't be, he said he can't die.."
Marshall hugged Everest then howled as did, Chase with Skye
"He was a good pup" Ryder said holding Rocky close to his body "Wendy? is there somewhere we can place Silvex's body? I have to let Pedz know"
Wendy thought for a minute "I have a freezer for bodies never thought I would have to use it ever" a tear fell from her face
Ryder picked up Silvex's body in one arm and placed Rocky on Zuma's Hovercraft "Zuma take Rocky to the medical building, for now Silvex's death stays between us until Pedz comes"
Zuma nodded and drove off towards the building the rest of the Paw Patrol followed him
"Wendy can we use the back entrance?" Ryder asked as tears fell on Silvex's fur
Wendy looked at Ryder "of cause we can first death we have had here dam"
Ryder nodded and ran towards the building, then they ran around the back entrance "Lead the way Wendy" he said opening the door
Wendy walked into the building then led Ryder to the freezer as she opened the freezer door their was a small freezing room "first pup ever to be put in here I honestly hoped I would never have to open this door"
"I'm sorry Wendy" Ryder said placing Silvex's body on the small tray "Not the first body I've seen, but he's the first pup to die in my team" he kissed Silvex on the head then closed the door "Rest in peace Silvex"
Wendy looked at Ryder "do you mind me asking who the first body you saw was Ryder?"
"A guy named Ed, back in the Park" Ryder shook his head "I don't really want to talk about it, brings back bad memories" he said walking out of the room "I better call Pe..."
"Hello brother" Pedz said as Ryder walked out of the room
"whhhhattt?!" Ryder jumped "How did you get here so fast?"
Pedz giggled "I never left, hello Wendy"
Wendy was shocked a superstar just talked to her "h-h-h-hello Pedz"
"I know what happened" Pedz said kneeling down giving Wendy a pat
"How?" Ryder questioned her
Pedz shed a few tears then stood up "Brother please, do not under estimate me, however regarding Silvex I would like to take the body"
Wendy nodded "ok then right over here" Wendy walked over and opened the freezer door
The rest of the Paw Patrol walked in
Pedz closed the door behind them, and walked over to the freezer "You saved my life once, you deserve a funeral fitted for a king" she said
"He healed my paw" Marshall said looking down at his paw which was still in a cast "He let me walk again" he burst into tears
Everest hugged him "It's ok Marshall, I'm here" she hugged him tightly
Wendy thought for a minute "hey didn't you guys meet a pup like Silvex before when the big storms and everything hit Adventure Bay o god what was his name mmmm I can't remember it was in the newspaper?"
"Yes, his name was Max" Ryder said looking down at Silvex "To think Silvex was more powerful then Max, but ended up sacrificing himself for Rocky"
"Indeed, he was brave soul" Pedz replied kissing Silvex on his head "I owe Silvex my life"
"We all do" Ryder said, tears falling down his face
"I can't believe he's gone" Chase said holding back tears
Pedz looked down at Chase "Do not be ashamed to cry Chase"
"I..." Chase turned to the closest pup next to him, which was Skye and hugged her crying into her fur "He's gone... He really is..."
Skye hugged back and cried as well
The Room was filled with sorrow and the sound of crying
"I best be getting his body to my Helicopter" Pedz said breaking the sobbing
Wendy sighed "a new question rises what are we going to tell the others now that they won't see Silvex around anymore?"
"Let me handle that Wendy" Pedz replied about to push the body out
Wendy left the Paw Patrol to go and check on her mate as she walked into the other room and up to Rocky she lied down next to him and licked his face
As Pedz was about to push his body away, the body exhaled a silver mist, which floated over to an empty part of the room. Wind picked up, and the mist glowed blindingly bright. There was a faint howling as the sound of the TARDIS Materializing filled the room.
"What's going on in there?" Kevin said through the door "And what is that noise?"
Pedz quickly locked the door "Oh, you know Superstar stuff, now if you will excuse us"
"Right.. sorry about that" Kevin replied walking away from the door "Wait.. was that? Nah, can't be her not here" he said leaving the area
The light faded to reveal Silvex Standing tall, wings spread out. A second later, he fell to the floor, panting heavily. "Holy Mary mother of Joseph! I... I haven't used that Regeneration cycle for... 437 years?"
"Wait.. wh..at? He's... he's.. he's... ali..." Ryder said before he fainted
Pedz caught him "Ops, you might have over did it a tad" she said holding her brother
Silvex got up Slowly. "Hey Everyone! Sorry if caused some unnecessary tears and feels, but I told you all not to worry!"
"You're not dead?" Marshall said, as he to fainted, along with the rest of the pups
Pedz slapped her own face then looked at Silvex "I am glad you are not gone Silvex, however now we have a room filled with unconscious pups and my brother"
"It's a rather complicated process and... Were you crying over me?" Silvex asked
"Of course I was, you saved my life once I would hate for you to die" Pedz replied as Ryder started to wake up "Good morning sleepy head, there's someone here who wants to say hello"
Ryder slowly opened his eyes "What?"
"Hello Ryder! Check it out! New bod- hold on." Silvex paused. "... New tooth, that's weird,"
"Huh?" Ryder looked at Silvex "I don't get it, you died?" he said standing up with Pedz's help
"Ryder. I have a very important Job that no one else can preform. I HAVE to live. IT's not a choice. Just be glad I'm back." Silvex said
Ryder knelt down and hugged the husky, while shedding a few tears "I'm happy you're not dead..." he paused "If we're all here, who's with Rocky?"
"Wendy, I think I saw her go out" Pedz said
"Well I couldn't just abandon you now, could I?" Silvex asked
"Quite right Silvex" Pedz smiled unlocking the door
Silvex nodded.
In Rocky's room, Wendy was laying besides him on the bed watching when the door suddenly swung open
"Hi Wendy" Andy said walking into the room where Rocky was "Got a present for you" he smirked no longer chained to Roxy
Wendy looked over Roxy "What are you doing in here GET OUT NOW!" She got off the bed and stood between Rocky and Roxy
"Never, we have something for you" Roxy said standing next to Andy
Before Wendy could do anything 20 pups, jumped at her, kicking her in her rips, and over head blood began to dribble down her head
"Finish her" Andy smirked watching
Bearface with all his might hit Wendy over her head instantly knocking her out
"Now that gets you out the way" Andy smirked kicking Wendy to the side "I'm going to enjoy this" he said as 5 pups jumped up on the bed with Rocky, who was just waking up
"Wh.. Wh.. what..." Rocky mumbled
Roxy stood next to Rocky "Say good night!" she lifted her paw up in the air
"Nooo... please..." Rocky cried knowing what was about to happen, just as Roxy's paw was brought down Rocky screamed in his mind 'Heelllppppp...!' then there was pain followed by darkness
