Welcome to the fourth episode of Pup Power: Rocky! As I'm writing this, the fifth episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is out, so I'll do the usual! Anyways, enjoy this episode!

(The first scene shows Alex with the Barkingburg guard in an empty alleyway.)

Barkingburg Guard: I've been keeping tabs on you as soon as you came here. I also heard that Harold is a fugitive of almost DESTROYING Adventure Bay!

Alex: Yeah, but now is his time for him to show his good side! He's already led us through some info about the Recycle Trashers.

Barkingburg Guard: There is a limit to how much good he must do in order to be pardoned. He must do a hero-saving act in public or in front of authorities.

Alex: Huh?

Barkingburg Guard: What I'm saying is, he needs to do something heroic.

Alex: He's already doing it!!!

Barkingburg Guard: By only giving you info? I think that's NOT heroic.

Alex: At least he's helping us!

Barkingburg Guard: Look, I don't care about the whole "info searching" thing you guys are doing, but Harold is a serious criminal. He must be put behind bars immediately!

Alex: And end our battle for Earth's fate?! NEVER!!!

Barkingburg Guard: How about a deal then? I'll give you eight hours to finish your little mission, and you hand Harold over after the eight hours.

Alex: If it's gonna help us in anyway, then fine. I accept.

Barkingburg Guard: Good. We shall meet again in EIGHT HOURS. Use it wisely, little boy.

(The guard walks off, and Alex heads for the house Rocky and Harold are in, which the next scene cuts to.)

Rocky: How was your little walk?

Alex: VERY interesting. A Barkingburg Guard came up to me and said I have eight hours to finish up our mission before they move in and take Harold to jail.

Harold: Oh, yeah. I'm a wanted criminal, so this makes sense.

Rocky: We're not going to let a little time limit stop us!

Harold: It's very nice to know we have other people on our tails.

Rocky and Alex: What?

Harold: IT'S AN EXPRESSION, PEOPLE!!!

Alex: Yeah, cool. Whatever.

Rocky: What else do you know?

Alex: There was a big explosion last night at a facility near here. A few people were injured, but no one was killed.

Rocky: I'm pretty sure that was the Recycle Trashers' doing.

Alex: They've never done a big explosion like this, though. How did they manage to pull it off?

Harold: We'll never know. Anyway, my uncle is still set on getting that useless Recycle Machine. So if we were to calm him down and get him to stop doing this, it wouldn't work.

Rocky: Ok, any other ideas?

Alex: I know that Mayor Humdinger has a great aunt. She's around here, in a secret base underneath the town.

Rocky: Alright, then it's settled! We're headed to the secret base! Let's g-

Harold: We don't even know where it's located.

Alex: You know, he's right.

Rocky: How about we go to one of those refugee camps that are hidden in the forests of Barkingburg?

Harold: Sure. I know where one of them is. Follow me.

(The three head out of the house and into the Barkingburg forest. They arrive at a refugee camp.)

Harold: These people are sure to know about my uncle's great aunt.

Rocky: Okay, I'll head in and see what they know.

Alex: Harold, I'll come with you.

Harold: Great.

Rocky: Okay then. Alex, you keep watch of Harold in case he does anything suspicious...

Harold: You still don't trust me?

Rocky: I never trusted you ever since we began this journey, to be honest. Remember, Alex and I have our eyes on you.

(He stares at Harold with a serious face. Alex does the same. Rocky then enters the camp.)

Rocky: Hello? Anyone there?

(He comes up to a small room filled with children inside.)

Rocky: Hello, kids! Would you happen to know about Mayor Humdinger's great aunt?

Boy: No, sir.

Girl: No.

Rocky: Okay... OH! Hey, kid! Do you happen to know about Mayor Humdinger's great aunt?

Boy 2: Daddy?

Man: Look, dog. I don't know what you want from us, but we know about Humdinger's great aunt. We don't tell info about her to outsiders like you, though. We're Humdinger's fans. Sort of. Okay, kid. Let's go continue your lessons. Come on.

(The man looks at Rocky, then leaves. Rocky growls silently. Rocky heads back out and sees Alex running towards him.)

Alex: I didn't get any info, but that's not my point! Harold! I...I lost him!

Rocky: YOU LOST HIM?! WHERE IS HE?!

(Alex notices a familiar figure walking up to a group of kids.)

Alex: There!

Rocky: Harold? Wait, let's see what he's going to do.

Harold: Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full...

(Harold puts three bags of candy on a table.)

Harold: One for the master, one for the dame. One for the little boy who lives down the lane...

(He hands the bags to three children.)

Harold: Fresh from the Candy Factory. All yours, on one condition. Do you know about Mayor Humdinger's great aunt?

(The kid whispers into Harold's ear.)

Harold: Thanks, kid. Enjoy the candy.

Rocky: Huh.

Alex: It actually worked?! Wow!

Harold: My uncle's great aunt is dead. Her memorial will be held back in Foggybottom this afternoon.

Harold's mind: They're gonna turn on me at some point. I can see it.

(The three walk back out to the streets. Rocky calls Rex via pup tag.)

Rocky: Hey, Rex.

Rex: Yeah? I'm driving right now, but how can I help?

Rocky: You have access to satellites, right?

Rex: Yeah, I have one loaded in here. Ryder put it in in case the Lookout's radar breaks apart.

Rocky: Okay. See if you can spot where Mayor Humdinger is headed for.

Rex: Got it! Woof! Satellite Reader!

(Rex's satellite reader pops out from his vehicle.)

Rex: He's headed for this memorial about his great aunt. Right now, he's at a graveyard, so I'm pretty sure the memorial hasn't started yet.

Rocky: Thanks, Rex.

Rex: Oh, and just to let you know, ever since Harold disintegrated the doctor, the City's president has been going crazy over it. It's going to fall apart in terms of peace over here.

Rocky: That's okay. Try to keep an eye on Mayor Humdinger and keep those city people from tearing each other apart.

Rex: Understood! I'll be on for recon duty. See you then, Rocky.

Rocky: See you.

Alex: So, when we find Mayor Humdinger, should we kill him?

Rocky: No, we can't afford to lose him. He's Harold's uncle after all.

(The next scene shows Mayor Humdinger and one of his kitties at a graveyard.)

Mayor Humdinger: I got at least half of the Golden Pellet thingies. Hopefully this will help me achieve the title of MAYOR OF THE WORLD!

Cat Rocky: Meow.

Mayor Humdinger: What? Of course my great aunt is going to be proud of me! She's always watching ever since she passed on.

Cat Rocky: Mrow. Meow?

Mayor Humdinger: The pup pad? The one Ryder and those pups own? No, that pup pad is nothing but nonsense. If anything, that pup pad should be destroyed.

(Mayor Humdinger gets up and heads towards the memorial. The next scene shows Rocky, Alex and Harold walking towards the memorial.)

Harold: All right. The memorial is just ahead. Let's go.

Chase: Not so fast, Harold!

Rocky: Ryder? Chase? How'd you get here?

Ryder: The more important question is WHY we are here. No more leaving us out.

Chase: Yeah, we want to help you at least!

Ryder: You could begin by telling us how you convinced Harold to help you.

Chase: You know, Harold's nothing but TROUBLE.

Harold: Don't worry, I know where Mayor Humdinger is.

Ryder: Well, where?

Rocky: All we know is, it's a memorial. So that's where we're headed.

Alex: It's going to start soon, so we should hurry up.

Ryder: Good, so we'll move in, and take him out the old fashioned way: By surprise.

Rocky: No, I'm gonna go talk to him. He might tell me why he's doing all of this.

Alex: You sure?

Rocky: Yeah, I'm sure.

Ryder: All right, then. Harold, you however, will be handcuffed to this furnace. You're lucky it's not on.

(Ryder takes out handcuffs from Chase's pup pack and puts Harold smack on the furnace.)

Harold: I know Rocky will do the right thing, so I accept being handcuffed.

Alex: Rocky, now's your chance! Go!

Rocky: All right, all right! Be back in a couple of minutes.

(Rocky heads up the stairs to the memorial.)

Ryder: Oh, and Rocky?

Rocky: Yeah?

Ryder: After 20 minutes, me and Chase are going in. Keep that in mind.

Rocky: Okay, I will.

(The next scene shows a group of people, including Mayor Humdinger, at the memorial.)

Mayor Humdinger: My great aunt was just like me. Mischievous, and a bit nice at the bottom. But now she's gone. Her legacy, though, will live forever. We will always follow her in her footsteps. She will always be... the TRUE Recycle Trasher.

(Mayor Humdinger sees Rocky at the end of the room.)

Mayor Humdinger: This memorial is now finished. Pay your respects and you may leave.

(The people do so.)

Rocky: Big place, huh?

Mayor Humdinger: I knew you would come in and talk to me at some point.

Rocky: Look, I'm okay with whatever you do, but you have to stop killing innocent people. It's not right.

Mayor Humdinger: This world... is too much. Especially with all those stupid brainless people around. That's the reason why I do this. I want to end all stupidity.

Rocky: To be honest, I felt the same thing too. And so does Marshall. Marshall's clumsy, that's for sure. And I don't like getting wet, which is strange. But I'm okay with it. I can't help you with what you're doing now, but maybe I can convince you to stop doing wrong things for the right ones.

Mayor Humdinger: ...

Rocky: Eh?

Ryder: Screw it, I'm going in. Chase, you stay here.

Chase: Got it.

(Ryder walks up the stairs into the memorial.)

Ryder: Alright Mayor Humdinger, we let you go a couple of times, but now, we've had enough. You're under arrest.

Mayor Humdinger: So that's what that was? You were talking to me about good and bad, only to arrest me?

Rocky: No, wait! That's not what I meant!

Mayor Humdinger: You're gonna regret that.

(Mayor Humdinger starts fighting the two, and the two fight back. Meanwhile, Harold uncuffs himself and heads down the stairs. Mayor Humdinger does the same and meets Harold in the basement.)

Harold: Hi, Uncle Mayor. Want to get disintegrated?

(Harold begins shooting Mayor Humdinger with his disintegrating gun, but Mayor Humdinger dodges every shot. As he's dodging, his bag of Golden Recycle Pellets falls to the ground.)

Harold: Oh, your prized possession is on the ground.

Mayor Humdinger: Don't you DARE...

(Harold stomps on them, breaking the pellets into golden shards.)

Mayor Humdinger: NOOOOOOOOOO! You're gonna pay for that!

(He runs away.)

Harold: Hmph. Yeah, like I would EVER want to pa-

(A pup-pad boomerang hits Harold's head, knocking him out. It comes back to Ryder.)

Ryder: Wow. My new pup-pad boomerang actually worked!

(The boomerang sides retract into the pup-pad. Ryder notices one Golden Pellet laying on the ground and takes it.)

Ryder: Looks like Harold forgot to destroy this one. I heard this gives strength to whoever holds it.

(Back outside, Mayor Hundinger is with his kitties and one Recycle Trasher member.)

Mayor Humdinger: That boy destroyed them! All of them!

Cat Zuma: Meow.

Mayor Humdinger: They're not useless! They're... LEGENDARY.

Recycle Trasher: Leader, there's still one around here. And it looks like someone has it.

Mayor Humdinger: Whoever has it, let them have it. One pellet isn't going to get me close to my main goal. Besides, what would one clueless person do with a pellet anyway? It's not like it's going to cause trouble.

(Meanwhile, back at the house, Rocky, Harold and Alex are relaxing after the fight.)

Harold: I know Ryder has the last Golden Pellet. I'll let him keep it.

Rocky: Rex, keep tabs on Ryder in case he uses it in a wrong way.

Rex: Got it!

Rocky: So, what now, Harold?

Alex: How about a rest? I'm tired after what just happened.

(The door opens and Ryder and the pups barge in.)

Ryder: Alright Harold, time for you to go!

Rocky: Woah, woah, woah! You can't just put cuffs on Harold! We're not done with him yet!

Ryder: He's a criminal! He needs to go to prison.

(Just then, the Barkingburg Guards barge in.)

Alex: Oh no...

Barkingburg: Eight hours have passed, Alex. We're taking him now.

Rocky: They're involved too?

Ryder: Hi, the name's Ryder. I'm the PAW Patrol leader.

Rocky: Hey, Ryder. You gotta be careful if you want to chat with the Barkingburg Guards. They're a little... dangerous.

Ryder: They have no business here, but if they want to help, they can.

Barkingburg Guard: The guards here have business wherever they find themselves in. So, we DO have business here.

Ryder: You know, I think we got off on the wrong foot.

Skye: Ryder, no!

(Ryder taps the guard on the shoulder, and guard punches him in the face. Ryder and the pups soon start fighting the guards.)

Rubble: They're a little hard to beat!

Alex: Any way we can help, Rocky?

Rocky: Nope.

Alex: Hey Ryder, looking strong!

Ryder: Not helping!

Rocky: Alex... WOAH!

(A Barkingburg Guard hits Rocky in the tail, and Rocky fights back, defending himself most of the time. Another guard fights Alex.)

Alex: Hey, hey!

(The guard grabs his backpack arm and rips it off.)

Barkingburg Guard: Next time, learn how to keep things in mind.

(Another guard throws his spear at Ryder. His pup-pad's electromagnetic shield deflects it, but another spear pierces the shield and lands itself in a nearby wooden table. Ryder is unable to move. All the guards walk off. Ryder manages to pull himself free.)

Ryder: They didn't even have super strength.

Marshall: Come on. Let's go.

(He grabs Ryder's arm and pulls him up.)

Ryder: Thanks, Marshall.

Alex: How?

(Alex picks up his broken robot arm from his backpack and attaches it to his backpack. The arm automatically attaches itself.)

Rocky: Did you know they could do that?

Alex: No.

Rocky: Hey, where'd Harold go?

(Rocky checks the bathroom and finds the sewer open.)

Alex: Did he just escape like it was nothing?

Rocky: Sure looks like it.

(At a cafe, Ryder and Chase are sitting there, talking to each other.)

Ryder: I still can't believe the pups and I couldn't beat a simple guard. Or guards.

Chase: Hey, it's all right. We all fail sometimes, but that's okay.

Ryder: If you had super-strength, would you use it to save the world?

Chase: What do you think? Of course I would! I'm a hero, after all.

Ryder: I would do the same. But then come the days where I just...lose it.

Chase: Are you okay, Ryder?

Ryder: Yeah, I'm fine. Just a random thought.

Chase: Whew. Ok, cuz I thought you were actually gonna do that.

Ryder: Yeah, I won't, though. (whispering to himself.) I hope.

(Meanwhile, Harold gets a voicemail from Mayor Humdinger.)

Mayor Humdinger: Hey, Harold. After that skirmish we had yesterday, I was wondering if you could join the team. Think of it! Two boys together, getting all the pellets! The choice is yours, my grandson. I look forward to your response VERY soon. Ta ta!

Harold: Ugh, not his team! Definitely NOT.

(Outside of where Harold is, Rocky and Alex are heading towards an empty camp.)

Rocky: I got a voicemail from one of the Recycle Trasher members.

Alex: What did it say?

Rocky: It said that Mayor Humdinger wants to meet at the camp we're headed for.

Alex: Did he tell you anything else?

Rocky: He told me to come alone. Seems like it's some sort of private meeting with him.

Alex: I'm coming with you.

Rocky: No, you'll get hurt!

Alex: If you get hurt, I'll make sure the culprit gets hurt too.

Rocky: Wow. You're really that brave, huh? All right, you can come.

Alex: Cool! Now, off to the camp!

(They arrive at the camp and Mayor Humdinger is standing there, waiting for them to arrive.)

Mayor Humdinger: You're here. And I see you've brought a friend with you too. Looks like you didn't follow my rules, huh?

Rocky: Mayor Humdinger, stop this. You have to end this now, otherwise great consequences are ahead of you.

Alex: Please, just stop. Besides, you're just a mayor.

Mayor Humdinger: Oh, I'm much more than "just a mayor" there, Alex.

(Back at Adventure City, Rex is in his car looking at his satellite reader's screen. He finds Ryder and the pups heading towards the camp Rocky and Alex are in.)

Rex: Hi, Ryder. Hey, Rocky, Ryder and the pups are coming. You better prepare yourself before things get ugly.

Rocky: Oh, great.

Mayor Humdinger: Recycle Trashers, ATTACK!!!

(Three Recycle Trashers arrive from behind Mayor Humdinger and start attacking Rocky and Alex. Mayor Humdinger joins the fight too. Downstairs, Ryder and the pups are fighting the other batch of Recycle Trashers.)

Ryder: Pups, hold them off! I'll go deal with Mayor Humdinger.

Pups: Roger, Ryder!

(Ryder heads up the stairs, and on the way up, he fights hidden Recycle Trasher members. The first one throws arrows and knives at him.)

Ryder: Seriously, what's with all the arrows and knives?

(Ryder continues heading up the stairs and arrives at the floor Rocky and Alex are in.)

Rocky: Ryder?

Alex: Great. More people to deal with.

Rex (over mic): Hey, Ryder.

Ryder: Rex? You're with them too?

Rex: No, I'm with Rocky and Alex. Anyway, your teammates are trapped in a floor below you. They were knocked out.

Ryder: Doesn't matter. What matters is that we defeat Mayor Humdinger.

Rocky: What did he just say?

Alex: I thought Ryder was a good guy.

(Meanwhile, Chase regains consciousness and runs up the stairs to the same floor the three are in.)

Ryder: Chase! Good to have you back!

Chase: Thanks! Now, let's kick butt!

Rocky: Pfft. Cheesy.

Chase: Heard that!

Rocky: Oops.

(The four continue battling the Recycle Trashers, but things go horribly wrong when Mayor Humdinger punches Chase in the chest.)

Chase: AAAH!

(Chase hits a pillar nearby and goes unconscious. He's not dead, but he's entered a coma. Ryder runs towards Chase.)

Ryder: Hey, Chase, buddy. Wake up. Wake up. Come on...

(Chase remains unconscious. Ryder slowly turns angry. Rocky and Alex leave the building very quickly, as well as Mayor Humdinger. Ryder runs towards a window and breaks out of it and lands on a car, superhero style. He then finds a Recycle Trasher and starts chasing him.)

Ryder: WHERE IS HE?!

(Ryder breaks a pillar the Flag Smasher throws at him, and begins throwing his Pup-Pad's electromagnetic shield at him. The Recycle Trasher is knocked down to a nearby fountain, and Ryder puts his foot on him. Filled with rage and anguish, he activates his Pup-Pad sword and raises it up high.)

Recycle Trasher: It wasn't me! IT WASN'T ME!!!

(Ryder ignores what he says and stabs it in the Recycle Trasher's chest several times, killing him. Ryder then retracts the sword. Rocky and Alex arrive at the scene, horrified when they see what's going on.)

Alex: No, no he couldn't have...

Rocky: How? HOW?!

(Ryder stares at Rocky and Alex in a menacing way, then notices people recording him, all looking scared and terrified. He slowly turns his head, looking at the crowd, with his blood covered pup pad attached to the wrist. The screen cuts to black.)

That's the end of episode 4! I hope you enjoyed it Also, sorry this took almost a month to make!
