Marshall's POV:

I launched into the darkness behind Chase. At first, I heard nothing, and I could not hear or see anything. I hit my helmet and activated night vision. Then I could see the 5 ospreys and Air Patroller, as well as the other pups and Ryder falling above me. I flipped over to see chase next to me, I read my altitude monitor and it read 24,500 feet and dropping fast.

"Approaching 20,000 feet pups" I heard Ryder say on the comms

All I could hear was my breath as I rocked towards the ground. Below was a sea of white clouds. I tried to steady my breathing as we got closer.

"Marshall!"

I looked over at Chase, he smiled "ready to touch the clouds?" He asked with a smile

I smiled and nodded and he got closer to me and I looked back down and the clouds were right in front of me. I gasped, losing my breath instantly as I hit the layer, and then got my breath back as I could feel the wet and cold sensation of the clouds on my paw. I looked over and could barely see Chase.

"Chase and Marshall, you are approaching 10,000 feet" Ryder said after a moment. It felt like I was in a tube, clouds surrounded me as I hurtled through them. I was able to finally control my breathing just as Ryder made another announcement.

"5,000 feet pups, we should be coming out of the clouds soon" Ryder said

A few moments later the clouds started to thin out and suddenly they opened up. Below I could see Detmold City, the city lights still on as it was still somewhat dark with light creeping in slowly.

"Listen up pups, we need to time this right, we need to pull activate out jet packs under the 2,000-foot mark to avoid the radar, activate stealth mode on your vests now" Ryder ordered

I pressed my pup tag emblem on my vest and the emblem blinked three times. My visor showed a water ripple effect and a light glow showed on the seams of my vest.

"Alright pups, deploy jets on my mark" Ryder stated

It was silent as we waited for the order. I was calm but my nerves were present as we got closer and closer to the ground.

After what felt like forever, Ryder chimed in on the comms "deploy Jets now!"

*Bark* "Jets!" I said and out of my pack deployed my wings that are black aircraft aluminum, and on the ends of the wings were compartments fitted with miniature Colt MK-12 cannons. I felt the jets activate but they were silent as I flew over the mansion area in the dark. I looked up to see the other pups and Ryder flying down towards me and chase.

Chase flew over into the wingman position next to me as we circled around the grounds and came up by the back wall and we saw that the landing space had 2 guards in the space. I looked to Chase and he nodded and followed me in as I flew full speed at these two guards. They looked up but it was too late to even gasp as I shut off my jets and slammed into him with my back right paw and sent him flying into the wall with a defining thud and landed doing a tumble and rolling up on my feet with the other guard flying past me as chase landed next to me.

The guard dogs shook their heads and started to get up but Chase and I rushed them and gave them an uppercut punched to their jaws, then round housed them in the head and into each other. We grabbed them and blasted our jets up and did a super jump and slammed them into the ground knocking them out.

We dragged them into a bush as the other pups landed, we walked over to join them as Cody and Ryder landed.

"Nice of you to join us" Chase said with a smile

Ryder just shook his head and turned to the pups. He gave the signal to grab rifles and move out. I grabbed my M16 Rifle, turned the safety off, and followed the group. We moved quickly and silently through the grounds. Cody covered our rear and Chase, and I covered the right outside.

We came up to an imperial cinderella style staircase with a wall in between the bottom of two staircases. Each staircase had its own landing and at the top was a large semi-circle landing with a balcony overlooking the small circular plaza which was surrounded by a wrapping cement seating wall. We split into two groups and Chase and I found ourselves at the front of the lines, Ryder sat behind Chase and Cody behind me. We looked up and saw two guards climbing the staircases on each side.

Chase's POV:

As I skid into cover with the others following behind me my adrenaline was pumping at full speed but strangely, I was calm and vigilant. I watched as Marshall was at the front of his line and Cody behind him and Ryder behind me. I watched as Ryder signaled for a movement plan. Cody signaled to take the guards out. I nodded and Marshall nodded, but I saw Ryder hesitate. I nodded to Marshall and the stone-cold determination look in his eyes gave me the answer. I signaled to him and he signaled back, Cody looked confused, but Marshall knew exactly what I was asking.

I signaled a countdown to him, 3… 2… 1… Go!

Marshall and I charged the wall that separated the base of each staircase, we got out our jets, leaped on the large banister posts, and super jumped above the balcony where the guards stood with their backs to us. We landed on them slamming the butts of our M16 rifles into them knocking them out. Then we activated our jet packs and launched up kicking the guards into the bushes surrounded by conical arborvitae trees and landing on the lower landings of each side of the staircase.

I signaled to Marshall to go to the top of the stairs and wait. I signaled to the group to come up and they filed up each side of the staircase. I waited at the top with Marshall as the others got up.

"That was seriously risky Chase, your antics could have gotten us discovered." Ryder scolded

"I'm doing what I must do to rescue Skye, I'm not holding anything back." I countered. Ryder stared at me being lost for words to say.

"I thought you said we are pulling all of the stops to get this mission done" I pressed.

"I did, but we don't need to take any unnecessary risks" Ryder scolded quietly

I was about to say something when Ryder silenced me and motioned for Cody to radio Lance and tell him to start his attack.

Cody nodded and said something into his radio I could not hear. We all sat quietly as suddenly we heard gunshots. We saw other guards run around the sides of the building. We pressed ourselves smaller and stayed still to stay out of sight as they rushed past the plaza and to the front of the complex. We waited as we saw lots of commotion inside from the lights. We waited for about 10 minutes until Ryder came over the comms

"Are you all ready?" Ryder asked

I nodded and the other pups from both groups nodded

"Everyone knows the plan and their parts?" he asked

I saw everyone nod, including Cody and Marshall.

"Awesome, let's move in" Ryder said.

Our groups moved up to the doors, opened the door and I followed Ryder, Zuma, and Tracker as they went right. I watched as Marshall followed Cody, Rubble, and Rocky going left. He looked back and stopped he mouthed good luck to me, I did the same to him and we raced off to our groups.


Alright here we go, the rescue has truly begun as they now enter the complex. Take a guess at which group will find Everest and which will find Skye. Will Marshall and Chase be able to handle what they find in the complex? are Skye and Everest even still alive?! These questions and more will be answered soon. Stay tuned!
