the bad side of Ryder
...
it was gloomy, and on top everything, storming. at the time reflected Ryders current mood. they sat and had dinner, Humdinger made sure he had good food knowing he was still not fully back to himself. after dinner Humdinger put new set of clothing on the bed, which was now his room. it was black and purple and yellow, same KCC colors as the rest of them. Harold could be heard complaining about Ryder. "well, I'm headed home uncle. enjoy your PAW PATROL geek." the complaining made Ryder feel as unwelcome as possible, but humdinger came to tuck him in to bed, even read him a story and sang him to sleep.
during the night Ryder had a bad dream and woke up. he cautiously came to humdingers room. "um... i had um."
humdinger got the hint right away. "bad dream. come here." he sat him on the bed and turned on a dim light.
"can i... stay with you tonight?" Ryder asked but was unsure how it go. "sure can kiddo." humdinger carefully tucked him in as Ryder curled up and fell asleep, he left a light on in the room to act as a nightlight for Ryder.
the next morning humdinger and Harold was working on a plan. as Ryder stepped closer into the room he rolled his eyes at the sound of how dumb the plan was.
"with these super awesome super sonic speakers, i will have them under mind control MUAHA." Harold finally finished explaining.
"and" mayor started. "how does it work genius?"
"work? um.. we just need the meteor to be charged, then we get a peace of it and then... i put it in after i use my super powers to build and then we do the plan."
Ryder came in with a sigh." that's the dumbest plan i ever heard Harold."
"oh yeah paw patrol geek." Harold walked over to him and poked him in the chest with his finger harshly with each word. "you, do, a better ,plan."
"fine" Ryder walked over to the screen. "you want a plan that's not incredibly lame or stupid. you got to attack them where there weakness is, NOT wait for WHO KNOWS how long for a meteor to be charged again."
after some time going over a plan. Ryder finally finished. "remember if the pups are able to do something they will put a end to the plan. then the whole thing will be pointless."
"that's the dumbest idea ever." Harold complained. "so ,your gonna go with us?"
humdinger stepped up immediately. "no. Ryder should not be fighting the paw patrol. its not fair to him."
"he's part of the Kitten Catastrophe Crew now." Harold started to walk away. "ether he does the work or he , goes back home."
"that shouldn't be a problem Harold." Ryder stated with anger and over confidence. "I'm part of the KCC now. i can handle it."
humdinger groaned and mumbled. "i miss the sweet kid he use to be."
...
after a few hours they all came back to the layer sore, and defeated.
"i cant believe i under estimated my own pups." Ryder stated in shock. "and I'M the one who trained them."
"i cant believe they didn't go easy on us and did on you." humdinger complained.
"yeah but i still hurt. chase didn't have to knock me off my feet with the ball launcher."
"what you two complaining about." Harold complaining himself "you only got tripped by tennis balls and chew toys and netted you, uncle mayor got thrown in a bush and netted but they sprayed me with water, threw a net on me fell in a bush, and hung me from the fire truck ladder."
Ryder let out a giggle. "well, that happen to be way they hooked the net."
"I don't think he's got his heart in it uncle mayor" Harold starkly stated.
"nephew stop it" ordered humdinger.
"no, he's right, i don't." Ryder angrily stated "its a lot for me to go from being the paw patrol leader doing good ,to doing bad things with the KCC. but ya know what, at least i am trying. unlike you where every plan revolves around having the meteor's power. well guess what Harold, if you got mighty powers, then the pups are mighty pups, and in case you failed to notice, you STINK against them. your plans ALWAYS fail even WITH mighty powers. if i had mighty powers to i show you a thing or two."
"oh yeah, even beat the mighty pups?" Harold starkly asked. at this point humdinger was looking concerned, he didn't want Ryder involved in any of there evil doing.
"EVEN beat the mighty pups, i could beat them with my eyes closed." Ryder stated with high level of over confidence. which humdinger seem to cringe hearing him say.
"then do it."
"HAROLD!" humdinger shouted trying to correct him "we are not going to have Ryder fight the pups!"
"what's the matter, he to chicken, or is he just a goody to shoes." Harold was trying to push Ryder to far he ether do something bad, or quit. and frankly he wanted him to quit.
"stop this at once" humdinger ordered him.
"no mayor!" he was shocked to hear Ryder like this. "that's it Harold, give me super powers and I'll show you how to be a real mighty bad guy."
"i don't like this at all." humdinger only could sigh.
...
that night they snuck into adventure bay, to the lookout. Ryder still had access into the basement and they found the meteor.
"its not glowing. meh" Harold disappointedly stepped away while Ryder opened the case it was in. he took a hammer and chisel . "it potentially still has power in it. we can use a peace of it to make a suit or something, and then trigger its charge."
as he tried chiseling away at it. humdinger and Harold stayed back staring around the massive "basement" space. suddenly a flash and Ryder was thrown with a shout. he was knocked a fair bit from being tossed and a bit dazed. they decided to grab him and abandon the plan. the meteor continued to glow.
back at there foggy base, Ryder was laying in bed. they were unsure if he got hurt from the blast or not. when Ryder finally got up Harold was using super powers to build again, seeing the meteor charged up and use it to his advantage.
humdinger saw Ryder and immediately came over to him. "you ok kiddo. you got tossed quite hard."
"um, yeah I'm ok" Ryder hesitantly said. they saw the chaos , cats were running everywhere from Harold. "HOLD STILL YOU CATS, HOW AM I GONNA MAKE YOU SUPER CAT SUITS IF YOU DONT STAY STILL!"
Ryder held up his hand to shout at the cats. "ALRIGHT ALL OF YOU LINE UP AND STAND STILL WHILE HE MAKES YOU SUITS." the cats obeyed immediately even to there own shock. and to everyone's shock Ryder's hands were glowing.
humdinger stomped the floor with his foot "no fair he got powers now to and i didn't."
when it sunk in with Ryder he had super power he took a leap and zoomed to the celling like he had his jet pack. "WOAH. I DONT NEED A JET PACK. WOAH AAH WOA, BUT WINGS WOULD BE GOOD!" he was bit unstable without wings to guide his flight. humdinger grabbed his foot to stabilize him in the room from doing any more zooming.
Harold sighed. "he can control animals AND fly. great, he gets the cool stuff." he shrugged. "looks like adventure bay is in for a surprise." he created the cats suits, which was glowing using Harold's powers, and made suit for his uncle and to do the same and then Ryder's a new suit with wings.
they gathered up. put there hands, and paws in together then stared at Ryder who finally on the floor stood there hesitant. "well." Harold asked." you in super bad Ryder or, not?"
he looked around a bit. then stepped forward. hesitantly he put his hand in. with determination and a bit of a evil smirk they never seen with him before he finally stated. "adventure bay look out. super foggy bottom is ready to bring some chaos action."
...
it was all chaos, the pups didn't realize what was going on. mayor Goodway panicked and grabbed her purse chicken. at first she only saw the main KCC, but then while running for cover was stopped by Ryder. "RYDER? oh good, you can stop them."
"stop?... were you going somewhere mayor Goodway?" she was not use to hearing such a dark tone.
"um, are you ok Ryder. maybe i should call the paw patrol."
"Ryder kicked her phone out of her hands which shocked her. "oh i think your a bit tied up to be making that kind of call mayor." he used rope and jet around her tying her up. "looks like your not going anywhere." he jet twirled up into the air checking to see if Skye or other pups were on there way.
"RYDER PLEASE!" mayor Goodway pleaded. Ryder just gave her a glare. "you just keep your mouth shut mayor and no one gets hurt. and that goes for you to Chickaletta unless you wanna become someone's dinner."
Chickaletta just bawk'ed and hid inside the purse. "what on earth happen to you." Goodway said with a extreme amount of worry. Ryder just glared and gave a evil grin backed with a whole lot of anger and resentment. "oh why don't you ask my mom when you see her again. if i cant have the paw patrol I'm gonna be, your , worse, nightmare."
"oh my." she responded with a great deal of realization.
humdinger was watching the action and events and shivered when he heard Ryder talk like that. "this is not good at all. i really don't like this side of him." he thought a bit. "his moms doing huh. hmm" he snuck a message, breaking his own rules. and called the pups to worn them."
the mighty pups took action immediately. and zoomed over. they paused in horror seeing Ryder among the terrorizers. "HUMDINGER WHAT HAPPEN TO RYDER." demanded chase.
"lets just say, you didn't get the call from me." he stated. "but also, this is not normal for him. your gonna have to switch his mindset to fix this. i never seen him so dark mood and...willing to do bad things. he even tied mayor Goodway to a pole.
the pups worked hard to maneuver dealing with cats, Harold AND Ryder attacking left and right . humdinger mostly staying out of there way occasionally trying to slip up his KCC in order to help out the pups. Skye met Ryder in the air, "RYDER YOU NEED TO STOP THIS. THIS ISNT WHO YOU ARE!"
"give up or meet your mighty doom." she had to swerve quick and had no choice but to whirl wind him, he shockingly keeps control spite it." CHASE. RYDERS PRETTY GOOD AT THIS. I CANT WHERL HIM."
with that Ryder let out a caw and 3 eagles came to meet him. "take her down!" Skye gasped. "oh no. not eagles."
chase was a bit terrified, not only being leader but Ryder turning on them and knew there weaknesses. "this is super bad bad BAD." chase got a idea. he hated it 100% but if Ryder was using there weakness against them, he felt he had no choice but to fight back.
he ran to meet Ryder, and super speed ran and leaped at him. his super speed jump coming at him hit him hard. but Ryder recovered his near fall. then noticed chase was still on him. "GET OFF CHASE. YOU CANT BEAT US!"
"oh yeah. well guess what." chase started. just before he jumped off he gave a blow more hurtful then anything the pups could do physically." your dad be ashamed of you seeing you like this." and jumped for it using his drag shoot to land." it threw Ryder off big.
Ryder tried commanding and flying but his attack was weak, his eyes had tears, memory's of everything they been through flood in. "what am i doing." he tried to throw another attack at them "i shouldn't be attacking them." he tried again and chase used his net launcher to grab him but it caused him to fall. humdinger noticed hearing him screaming. and Skye dove in to catch him and put him on the ground. by now the rest of them were rounded and tied up.
Marshall came over and gently but firmly tied him up to. "I'm sorry i have to do this buddy, but you didn't give us a choice." Ryder just sat there crying.
"so much for that plan huh Harold." humdinger complained. he also knew Ryder shouldn't have been put up to it. and he was one who called the pups but was in no way gonna admit it. chase looked from a distance, not really wanting to get to close. Skye stepped beside him. "wow what you do to make him loose focus. and... um... also made him cry."
"um" chase looked down in shame. "i said something along lines of, he's dad wasn't proud of him anymore." the meteor dimmed and there mighty ability's faded. the cats and humdingers were let out of the rope and let to leave. they freed Ryder who just sat there in tears. humdinger got him to his feet. "I'm sorry Ryder, you should have never been involved in this."
chase hesitantly a took step to him. "Ryder, i know i hurt you saying that. I'm sorry i had to. i hope you will be able to forgive me."
humdinger put his hands on Ryder's shoulders and looked at him. "do you want to go back to foggy bottom or go home?"
Ryder had a look of resentment hearing the way he said it. "foggy bottom IS my home."
...
back at foggy base, weather was night or day, you could not tell with the storm on top of the fog. Ryder stood on the balcony looking out. he held a picture of him and the pups. rain fell from his face along with the tears. he glanced inside seeing Harold complaining to humdinger, he felt extremely out of place there, and missed the pups. he just sat out there in the rain crying. suddenly he noticed a umbrella over him. humdinger was holding it.
"i don't want you to get sick again kid." he stuck it in a pole to hold it and they hugged.
Ryder didn't eat dinner, he was not Hungry. not due to feeling ill but over what he did. humdinger sat with him wanting him to eat something, but he was all to upset with himself. they just curled up on the floor Ryder crying and holding tight to mayor humdinger.
finally night came, humdinger was tucking him into bed and handed him the pup badge. Ryder looked at it a bit. got up from bed. "I'm not part of them anymore." walked to the window and through it. it shocked humdinger, but Ryder just walked back to his bed and curled up. "leave me alone please." humdinger brushed his hair then quietly & hesitantly walked out but kept a eye on him as he cried himself to sleep which made humdinger teary.
by morning, Ryder ate breakfast, humdinger waved him over. his flight cat handed him something ,Ryder didn't see what it was. "listen kid, you don't belong here." Ryder was shocked. then humdinger handed something ,kept Ryder's hand closed. and pushed his hands to his chest. "you belong with them."
Ryder opened his hands to see the badge he tossed out the window that night. "but, they didn't come with me, they, abandon me."
"no." humdinger started calmly and say. "you abandon them." Ryder looked at the badge and up with a realization. "go get them."
...
he road all the way back and arrived at the lookout, all the pups stood guarding the door, they were on alert in case he tired something. Ryder got off his KCC motorcycle walked up the rest way, tossed off his helmet and ran to them in tears and put his arms around his pups "I'm so sorry, I'm so ,so sorry. i thought you abandon me cuz you wouldn't come with me, and all the time there away changed me into someone i don't want to be, into someone i didn't like to see. I'm sorry, you didn't abandon me, i abandon you. i abandon adventure bay, i let everyone down, I'm sorry. please forgive me."
Ryder's mother stepped out which broke there moment of embrace, they cautiously watched there interaction. shockingly she threw her arms around him also teary, picked him up and held him. "oh Ryder. i was so worried. why did you ever run away."
Ryder still felt cold and distant from her. all the times she was mean to him, changed his feeling to her. "you made me disband the paw patrol. so i ran away and joined the KCC. if i was going to lose something so important to me, then i would join them instead. but that's not who i am. i just wish, you wouldn't let your feelings of dads job, effect me doing mine."
she sat him down and looked at him, his eyes gave no lie, they looked full of hurt. but her eyes gone from sad and joy to resentment. "never bring up your father again."
"why not. just cuz you couldn't handle being married to someone who is always saving the day shouldn't mean i have to stop what I'm doing. this is my life mom, this is what I'm good at."
Ryder looked at her. "When I got sick, it was very lonely. But I got better, and when I got ill again. You vowed you never let me be alone. You let me find a dog. We didn't at first but then I found Chase. And he was already a super amazing police pup. He stayed by my side throughout all the ups and downs."
Ryder paused a moment "But then you realize I needed a different pup then a guard dog. we found and adopted Marshall. and he was a super amazing fire pup even that small. On my best days we ran around the city and parks playing rescue. And on my worst when I was to sick to get out of bed, they stayed there with me and we made up rescue stories. I got a bit stronger each day, sure I fell back several times. And then we found skye. She loved when I flew her around the room."
Rubble listened closely to him, he never heard about this before. He joined them later on. He was amazed at each part. "Zuma saved me at the lake and he joined us. We did saves all over the city. And helped people, we were doing what we love. Then when we met rocky, and he joined us. He suggested moving to the bay, where I could get better and live in the fresh air, away from the city. We helped all over adventure bay."
"Wow." Said rubble. "I never heard how it all started before."
"We sort of took over, after people left mayor Goodway, there was no one to help." Ryder exclaimed "see mom, I made a team and I got better, each day, the paw patrol kept me going strong even when things were bad. Even when I was in the hospital. Getting better to go back home, was what got me to keep fighting so I could go back to the pups and helping. And we kept it going after I got better."
He paused again and gathered his emotions which at this point was very high. "This is what we do, what the pups do. The paw patrol has been there for me, even when you weren't. When you couldn't, when you wouldn't, while healthy like I am now, and, when I was very sick. Adventure bay needs the paw patrol , the pups need the paw patrol. Mom, I, need the paw patrol. please don't take it away from me."
