Hello Readers, as I had said I have returned tonight with another Chapter for all of you, if you thought the last chapter was crazy, hold on to your seats folks and grab some popcorn because this is going to get crazy. but before we do get started, there were a couple of questions that popped up earlier today,
Rescue Wolf: The tracking device is what most dogs have in their skin when they are given ID's. This one, however, was plastic and very tiny. It was placed in her ear. So when going through security, it remained undetected. Once she was in, she placed it under the dog bowl in her cell and no one found it in time. When it came to Sylvia's rescue squad, they did have to fight some guards they just did it quietly and then threw the bombs at the wall to the pound. Sylvia was hurt, but not as bad as marshall as she managed to take cover in time.
Rainbow the Pikachu 23: this is actually the parts where you find out what the other pups will go through before they make it back to base... or not. Once this is done then the final battle of this war begins, and they might need a miracle to save them but we will have to see how this plays out.
so now that those are answered and thank you again to Drmatt542 for your encouraging words. I really do appreciate all of you who read my stories, especially these days. Well, enough of that let's get back to this story. Enjoy everybody!
Rocky's POV:
Rubble, Cody, and I were picked as a team and headed to the coordinates that were given to us that may be a possible base the gang dogs are located. The time was 6 in the morning so it was still dark out but there was some light as the sun was to be rising soon.
We zoomed off in specially designed trucks, towards our given location. As we came upon the location, we came to an abandoned suburb area, it was closed off by a fence but the gate into the town was opened as we pulled up.
"Well, this looks interesting" I said as we came to a stop
"Oh, I've heard of this project, they are taking these old houses that can't be used anymore and are planning to demolish them and rebuild new houses in their place." Rubble said grabbing his gear
"Wow, that seems like a great way to bring in more homeowners to the town by replacing these old houses with new ones" I said as I put on my gear as well
"This place seems pretty big to be a base" Cody said knowingly hopping out of his truck
"I agree, how are we going to do this?" Rubble asked me
I had to think about it for a moment "ok, so here is what we will do, this small part of the suburb has three streets of houses and all of them lead to one road that connects. We will each take a road leading to the connection road and investigate that street and the houses on the street. We are to be in constant radio contact during the search. This way if one of us needs help then the others are seconds away from them." I explained "what do you two think?" I added
"Sounds good" Rubble said
"Good plan Rocky" Cody said
"Thanks, now let's finish getting our gear on and get searching, the sun is almost up and I want to start the search by sunrise" I stated commandingly, both Rubble and Cody nodded then jumped back into the truck to get their gear and I followed behind them.
I first slipped on my bulletproof vest and then my jacket, I prepped my pack with grenades, extra clips for my AR-15, my knife attachment for my gun, my infrared laser attachment, my infrared, and my EMT kit.
After I got out of the truck, I saw Cody waiting for me, "Hey Rocky, I was thinking do you think I should go in as a dog or as a human?" he asked
"Well our gear can be used by both dogs and humans, but you'd have to carry two vests then. So, I would use your powers when you deem it necessary, but I would bring a human and dog vest." Rubble said, then I remembered something "I actually have something for you, Cody" I said jumping into the truck. I grabbed a special vest and brought it out for him
"Here, put this on and then transform into a human" I said
"But the vest will not fit" Cody said putting it on
"Trust me" I said smiling
Once he got it on, the vest beeped at a frequency only dogs can hear, and Cody looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Go ahead, transform" I encouraged him
Cody then transformed into a young man around Ryder's age. The vest had changed as he did, conforming to his now human body. He stood there in amazement staring at the vest then he looked up at me.
"How? How did that just work? He asked flabergasted
"It was specially designed by me and Ryder. After we saw you first transform, we decided to make a few special pieces of equipment specially tailored to you. The fabric is state of the art, brand new, and from the military only used by the military, it is transforming fabric. Ever since we became super pups, the fabric was made by Ryder and some engineers in the military. It helped us transform using the power of the meteor but this one uses your natural powers to change. We also made a pack that does the same thing as well." I explained to him
"Wow, that is awesome, Thank you Rocky, I have to thank Ryder when we get back" Cody said
"Your welcome Cody" I said smiling as I loaded my gun.
I slipped on my ACOG sight and checked it to make sure it was ready. After I finished calibrating my gun, I looked up to see Rubble finishing up on his gun and Cody sitting and waiting.
"You two ready to rock?" I asked in a sobered tone
"Yeah, let's go" Rubble said holding his gun, looking like he wanted justice
"I'm ready to rock and roll" Cody said with a determined look in his eyes
"Alright then, let's get going" I said and attached my gun to the arm so it can hold it. And we headed into the abandoned suburb.
"Alright, head to your street and we'll do a radio check before we head in deeper" I ordered, Rubble and Cody nodded and headed to their respected streets. After a few minutes they both stopped. I pressed my helmet and a mic slid out and stopped by my mouth.
"Comm check, Rocky here, Rubble and Cody do you read?" I asked
"I copy here" said Rubble
"Loud and clear from both of you" Cody said
"Alright sounds good here too, keep in contact and no chatter on the line. Let's roll boys" I ordered and watched as Rubble and Cody headed down their streets and I started down mine.
It was eerily quiet as I patrolled down the street, as the sun came up a nebulous fog glistened in the sun's rays shooting rainbows past me. I admired the
stunning show of nature for a brief moment but then continued on. After a little bit, I came up to a house in the middle of the street that looked pretty beat up. The shutters were hanging off their shutters, the sides of the house were a faded blue it almost looked white or baby blue. The door however looked newer, that had me interested. I then turned and headed up a small concrete path that had some raised cement blocks creating steps. Then I scaled a wooden staircase to the front door, the door looked to be only a few years old and with a faded doorknob, that meant it has been worn down from use.
I switched on the automatic mode of my AR-15, grabbed the doorknob and turned it. It was locked, I reached into my pack and grabbed a small circular device and stuck it to the door. I pressed the button on the top and took a step back. There was a soft cutting sound and the circular device fell off the door and there was a perfect circle next to the doorknob. I tried to open it, but it was wedged shut. I sighed quite aggravated, I took a few steps back and I charged the door, slamming into it, knocking it down and off its hinges.
I shined my light around the room. Dust floated in the sunlight as it seeped through the cracks in the boarded-up windows. The room was littered with small furniture covered in sheets as well as a few broken pieces of furniture. The air was thick, cold, and crisp as if the AC was on full blast, I could see my breath as I left the room that looked like a living room. I walked into the kitchen area, or it looked like one. The room was littered with stuff that you would find in a science lab at a high school. On the counter, there was what looked like a chemistry set from a mad scientist's lab. Lots of glass vials that are connected by tubes and some of the vials had some stuff in it, however, it was not old and dusty like everyone else. This stuff was brand new… and it was currently in use.
This has been used recently, they must still be around… but where I thought as I looked at the set. Suddenly I heard a click, I whipped around pulling my gun out to find a dog standing there with a gun pointed at me.
"Well, well; what have we here?" the dog said sarcastically with a sinister smile
"Looks like a high school lab to me" I replied mockingly grinning back
The dog growled clearly annoyed, "Your one of those Paw Patrol mutts, aren't you?" the dog sneered spitefully
"And you must be one of those dumb gang dogs, right?" I shot back with an angered snarl
"That's right, and one holding a gun to you" he said raising his pistol
"My gun is bigger though" I said smiling pointing my AR at him
A look of fear swept over his face, just then a side door opened, and two more dogs came out with rifles. My face switched from triumphant to terrified for my life.
"Now you are outnumbered and outgunned mutt" the dog laughed raising his pistol
I swallowed in fear and pressed a button on my gun, and it started to blink.
"Come on boys, we can talk about this right?" I asked nervously sweat dropping
"No, we don't talk… we act, Boys Open Fire!" the dog ordered the other two with him
I gasped and dove behind the island in the kitchen as the three dogs opened fire. Spraying the room with bullets. I stuck my gun out around the corner and started shooting. I heard yelps of surprise, but the gunfire kept going. As we fired on one another one of their bullets hit me and I yelped in pain. I fumbled for my EMT kit.
*Bark* "Sentry mode" I called out, and my pack turned into an automated machine gun on a tripod. the sentry laid down cover fire as I tried to patch myself up. But then it was taken down by the other dogs and it reverted to my pack.
Is this really how I'm going to die I thought as I tightened my bandage and grabbed my gun. "well, here we go" I said swallowing my fear and ready to fight to the end
"Hey!"
The gunfire stopped, and I poked my head around the corner. I let out a huge sigh of relief to see that standing in the doorway was Cody in human form.
"Who the hell are you?!" one of the dogs said
"Delivery" Cody said
"What Delivery?!" the dog Demanded
Cody pulled out akimbo AR rifles "Special Delivery" he said with a sly smile like some western cowboy hero.
I came out from behind the counter, walked up and pressed my riffle into the dog with the pistol.
"Well, well; what have we here?" I said mockingly "looks like you are outmatched."
The other dogs moved an inch, Cody fired a shot from each rifle, and it hit right next to them and they froze.
"Move again and I won't miss" Cody growled threateningly.
"Alright, now it's my turn. What are you doing here?" I asked
"I'm not saying anything, I'd rather die!" the dog said defiantly
"Alright, I tried the easy way. Now we are doing it the hard way… as you had requested." I said
"Wait I was just kidding, please wait I…" I slammed the butt of my AR into each of the dog's heads and knocked them out before the lead one could finish.
"Wow, for a moment there I thought you were going to kill them" Cody said as he walked in, the I saw him glance at my bandaged shoulder. "Holy Shit Rocky, are you alright?!" Cody asked concerned
"I'm fine, thanks. Cody, help me get these guys back to camp. Once we get them back there, I can get bandaged up and we can finish the search" I said
"Sounds good" Cody said grabbing one of the dogs. I grabbed the other two and dragged them out. As I got them outside, I was flooded with shock. They were young dogs, like teens. That dark house made them look older. It then made sense of how I could easily drag both of them. I helped Cody put them on a sled with wheels under it and we pulled them back to our makeshift base.
…
Rubble's POV:
As I walked down the street, I heard gunshots in the distance. I froze but then it was gone. I fumbled frantically on my vest for my radio.
"Rocky, Cody. Everything ok over by you guys? I heard gunfire" I called over our line, fearing one got hurt
"Hey Rubble, everything is ok. Cody and I are fine" I heard Rocky respond, but his voice was muffled
"Did you find something?" I asked
"More like someone Rubble, keep searching, we will be back out in a few minutes" Rocky said signing off
I sighed in relief and continued on. After a little bit of walking down the street, I heard a bang come from one of the houses I just passed. I loaded my gun and ran up to one of the houses. I slammed into the door and it fell off its hinges. I switched on my light and started scanning the room. It was a living room, but the furniture was not covered and looked like it's been used recently. There was a burgundy red couch and a tv stand across from it and holding a medium-sized flatscreen on top of it. Directly in front of the couch was a small black coffee table. Grey carpet covered most of the floor as I walked in. It looked relatively clean.
I quietly walked through the living room as I heard something else fall in the next room. I snuck up to the door that was slightly opened at the end of a short hallway and I heard voices. I leaned up against the door, rifle at the ready, then leaped into the room. There was a squeak of surprise that came from the right and behind me, I whipped around and pointed my gun into the corner of the room.
In the corner were two young pups, dirty and skinny. They both growled but it was not intimidating with the look of fear in their eyes. I looked around and realized that it was a bedroom for young pups.
"Is there anyone else in here?" I asked them
"What?" One of the pups said
"Are you two the only ones in this building?" I asked being more specific, trying not to growl at them
"Well no duh stupid" the other said defiantly
"Hey, there is no need for that, I only asked you a question" I scolded lowering my gun and they flinched. I sighed and left the room, hearing the pups scramble after me
"Where are your parents?" I asked
"Gone" one said as we came into the living room
"Well when will they be back?" I asked turning around
"Dumbass they aren't coming back… they are dead" the other and rather defiant pup said
I sighed, ", first there is no need for that language." I reprimanded the young pup almost growling at him, "Secondly, I'm sorry to hear that however, I must go" I said turning to leave the house
"No wait" the young girl pup squeaked urgently
I stopped and sighed turning around to face them "please stay for just a moment" the young girl pup begged
"I'm sorry but I can't I'm on a mission" I told them
"Do you have food?" The once defiant young boy pup asked
"Not with me but, yes I do have some food" I said
"Where?" They both asked urgently in unison
"You will have to wait here until I'm done, then I'll take you to the food. Can you wait here quietly for a little longer? I asked keeping my annoyance at bay and kept my voice in a caring tone.
They looked at each other for a minute, then looked up at me
"Yeah, we can wait, but we will be watching for you" the little boy pup said
"Good. Also, what are your names?" I asked
"I'm Echo" the young boy pup said, the one who was rather defiant and protective
"And I'm Aurora" the young girl pup piped up with a sweet smile to follow.
"My name is Rubble, it's nice to meet you both. Now stay hidden and quiet, I'll be back soon" I said and left the house. I walked down the street looking in most of the houses.
Then I came up to a house a little further down the street almost to the end that looked newly painted within the past two years. I turned off the safety on my rifle and went up to the house. I peered into the window and saw that the room was empty. All the other houses had stuff in them. It seemed odd that this house was empty. I went to the front door and tried to open it; the doorknob did not turn.
"Locked, well let's see you stay locked against this" I muttered pulling out a small little puck. I stuck it to the door and pressed it and it started blinking. Then it made a small cutting sound like metal cutting metal and after a few moments it fell off leaving a hole. I turned the doorknob with ease and opened the door.
The room was completely empty, however there were imprints of furniture from dust on the ground. The spots where the furniture was once placed is relatively cleaner than the rest of the floor so there was furniture here recently. Then I heard a sound coming from somewhere in the house. I quickly and quietly ran to the wall and hid behind it.
I could hear voices in the kitchen down the short hallway. "Did you hear something?" A voice said
"No, now would you play please" another voice said exasperated
"Fine, 2 6's" the first voice said
"BS" the other voice said followed by something sliding "that's what I thought" the second voice said voice said
I quietly turned around and crept down a different hallway. I saw a door in the hallway, and I stopped in front of it. I grabbed the doorknob and silently turned it, I opened the door without making a sound and slid in closing the door behind me. I waited for a moment, not hearing movement I turned around to find stairs to the basement. I quickly and quietly descended into the basement.
The large room I entered from the stairs was pitch black. I switched my light on low beam and I saw a room surrounded by concrete walls with a large table in the middle. There was a slight chill in the air as I walked towards the table. As I got closer, I noticed it covered with paper, it peaked my interest. My eyes widened and I held back a gasp when I saw what was one the table. There was a map of the city and pins everywhere and then one had a little house on it. I grabbed my camera and quickly snapped pictures. As I took my last picture, I saw a folder sitting on the table. I opened it and to my shock and disbelief there were pictures of Skye and Everest. Behind it were some plans for a big operation. I took the folder and put it in my pack. Then I went to the stairs. I turned off my light as I went up quietly. I opened the door silently and I could still hear those two playing that game.
"2 4's" one said I closed the door silently to the basement and crept down the hallway
"1 5" the other said, I rounded the corner turning right and headed down the hallway leading to the kitchen. I sneaked to the corner of the kitchen, I stopped at the edge and waited.
"2 7's" one said
"3 8's" the other said
I rounded the corner and pointed my rifle at them "BS!" I said and they both fell out of their chairs in surprise.
"What the! Who the hell are you?!" one said getting up with the other already standing
"None of your concern, you are both coming with me" I growled
They both reached for a pistol "you pull that out and I shoot" I growled
"You don't have the balls to…"
BANG BANG, I fired two shots right next to them
Almost at once their hands shot up. I walked up and grabbed their pistols and threw them in my pack.
"Now I said you are both coming with me, right now" I growled
"Well there is one of you and two of us" the other said
"Wow you two are severely dumb, I'm the one with all the guns" I said, then two robotic hand came out holding their pistols pointed at them. "Now Get Moving!" I snarled Ferociously.
They reluctantly started to move. Once I got out of the house, I saw Rocky and Cody racing down the street.
"Rubble we heard gunshots, are you ok?" Rocky asked
"I'm better than ok, I've found something huge and these two brainless scraps of fur are going to help us" I said but then I say Rocky's shoulder.
"Rocky what happened to you?" I asked worried as Cody took one of the dogs.
"I'm fine Rubble, it was just a flesh wound, they got my shoulder and I bandaged it up. What did you find?
"I found maps and plans for a big operation" I said proudly
"That's great Rubble, let's get these two back to camp," Cody said taking one of the dogs while rocky grabbed the other. We started walking down the street when I came up to the house with the pups inside.
"You guys keep going I have to grab something" I said running into the grey house.
"Hello? Echo? Aurora?" I called out
"Hey Rubble" they both answered in unison
I turned to see Echo step out of the shadowy corner I found him in, and his sister Aurora followed him.
"Come on you two, you are coming with me to get some food" I said smiling
"RUBBLE!" I heard Rocky scream
I dashed out the door to see him down the street a little further
"We Have To Go Now! Lucky Called, A Huge Explosion Went Off At The Base!" Rocky screamed and took off to the trucks
My gut twisted in fear, I turned to the pups behind me "well, you two are getting more than food now because you are coming with me to our base." I said and ran out with them hot on my trail
"Cody is already getting the truck loaded… Who are they?" Rocky asked as I caught up to him
"Some homeless pups, we are taking them to the base. We can figure out what to do then but we have to hurry." I said as we got to the trucks.
"Come on I got those dogs in my truck, let's get going!" Cody said getting in his truck
Rocky raced off towards his and I turned to Echo and Aurora "come on, you two are riding with me" I said gesturing for them to follow. The three of us got into my truck and I followed Cody and Rocky's truck as we raced to the base.
We got there and there was still fire burning on the building, we jumped out of our trucks. I ordered Echo and Aurora to stay in my truck until I came to get them.
"Rubble help! The wall has collapsed, Marshall is still in there." Medic cried as I could tell she was trying to dig through.
"stand back" I ordered and barked out my shovel and started digging, it took me a moment until I got through. The ominous haze of smoke was dense, and it caused me to cough.
"Help, Somebody, Help Me!" I heard what sounded like Marshall scream
"Marshall! Hang On!" I called into the fog and followed his voice
I grabbed Marshall out from behind a gate that was pinning him against a cement block, I threw him on my back and raced through to the exit. I felt the ground shake and I dove into the hole I came through as it collapsed behind me. I looked up to see that Marshall was laying net to me, and I sighed in relief.
Rubble, Rocky, and Cody are ok! they may have suffered some injuries but are alive. but can they fight? Will they have healed enough to be ready to fight again? what about the other groups? What are they to do with those young pups they have now? These questions and more will be explained in the upcoming chapters. Stay tuned readers!
