The small town of Adventure Bay. Home of Ryder and the PAW Patrol. This small town had never suffered from any major crimes. However, that would change in due time. After the events of Adventure City, Ryder and the pups returned to Adventure Bay. They left Adventure City in Liberty's paws, confident she would call if they needed help. However, they would soon need to call on her to help them.
Location: 7000 Nautical Miles from Adventure Bay
A storm rocks a ship as everyone on board scrambles to keep it secured.
"THIS SHIP ISN'T GONNA HOLD MUCH LONGER!!!!" One yelled, making sure the others heard.
"ABANDON SHIP!!!! ABANDON SHIP!!!!" The Captain yelled. Soon, a German Shepard pup started to go to a life raft. One other joined him, having a bag on his back. The two got on a life raft with a motor attached to it and got away as the ship soon exploded.
"Jesus! What kinda cargo were they carrying?!" The pup asked.
"I don't know," The man said, "but we need to warn the mainland about this storm!"
"This isn't a storm! This is a 100% Category 2 Hurricane!" The pup said.
"Where's the closest town?!" The man asked. The pup pulled out a map and pointed to the northwest of him.
"About 7000 Nautical miles that way! A town called Adventure Bay!" The pup said.
"This hurricane is gonna hit it hard!" The man said.
"By the time it reaches," the pup said, "it'll be a Category 4 or 5!"
"We have just enough to get us there!" The man said. The pup looked at the man inquisitively.
"What's your name?!" The pup asked. The man looked at the pup stunned.
"You first!" The man said. The pup was shocked for a bit, but shook it off.
"Forget it! Let's just get to dry land! Introductions can happen later!" The pup said.
"Agreed!" The man said, nodding.
Location: Adventure Bay, Lookout
Marshall and the others were playing with Everest, who came over to hear about their time in Adventure City.
"Wow," Everest said, "I never would have expected that. Something about Mayor Humdinger just rubs me the wrong way."
"I know the feeling." Chase said.
"Well," Everest said, "at least we don't have to worry about him bugging us anymore."
"True." Rocky said. The others nodded in agreement.
Location: Adventure Bay, Seal Island
Captain Turbot was looking at the barometer readings from the lighthouse when he heard the faint sound of an engine.
"What in the world?" He asked. He looked to the direction and pulled out some binoculars. He looked out and saw a raft with a man and pup inside it.
"We must be close to Adventure Bay's waters." The man said.
"No doubt about it. That lighthouse is a staple of Adventure Bay, along with that bridge." The pup said.
"Those two aren't from around here?" Turbot asked.
"Anyways," the man said, "we'd better get ashore. I need to make a call and my phone needs to charge."
"Why didn't you charge it before we abandoned ship?!" The pup asked.
"And risk it getting a virus on it?! You're crazy!" The man said.
"They abandoned ship somewhere? I need to tell Ryder!" Turbot said, grabbing his phone.
Location: Adventure Bay, Inside the Lookout Tower
Ryder was playing games on his pup pad when he got a call.
"Hello," Ryder said, "Ryder here."
"Ryder," a voice said, "it's Captain Turbot. I just heard something that you might want to know about."
"What is it, Captain Turbot?" Ryder asked.
"Well," Captain Turbot said, "I was looking at the barometers in the lighthouse, checking the air pressure over the ocean and the bay, when I heard a motor approaching. After I looked, I saw a raft with a man and a pup on it. They seemed like they were LOOKING for Adventure Bay, and then I overheard them say something about abandoning ship somewhere!"
"They abandoned ship?!" Ryder asked.
"Yes," Captain Turbot said, "they did. One of them has a phone, but it needs to be charged. He didn't charge it on the ship because he didn't want to risk getting a virus on it! Ryder, this could mean trouble."
"It could," Ryder said, "but it could also be nothing. We'll check it out. No job is too big, no pup is to small!"
"Thanks Ryder." Captain Turbot said. Ryder then ended the call and pulled out something on the pup pad to reveal a button. He pressed the button and five lights lit up.
"PAW Patrol," Ryder said, speaking to the pups outside, "to the Lookout!"
Location: Adventure Bay, Outside the Lookout
The pups were all playing around when their pup tags started glowing.
"PAW Patrol," Ryder said, communicating to the pups, "to the Lookout!"
"Ryder needs us!" The pups exclaimed, simultaneously. They all then howled and ran inside the Lookout, headed to the elevator.
"Wait for me!" Marshall said. As he ran, he slipped and crashed into Everest. The two were in an awkward position and the two of them blushed.
"Sorry." Everest said.
"No," Marshall said, "it's my fault." The elevator doors then closed and the elevator went up. It stopped behind the logo on the lookout which seemed to light up. After a few seconds, practically impossible to do, the elevator continued up and the pups were in their gear, standing in a formation. The elevator soon stopped on the top floor and the doors opened. They all jumped out and got into the formation they were in while on the elevator.
"PAW Patrol," Chase said, "ready for action, Ryder, sir!" Ryder pressed another button on the pup pad and a screen came down.
"Thanks for hurrying, pups. We have a potentially dangerous emergency." Ryder said. The pups got worried.
"Potentially dangerous?" Rocky asked.
"Oh, no!" Rubble said. Ryder held up a hand and pressed the button on his pup pad again to start the briefing sequence.
"Captain Turbot was looking at the barometers in the lighthouse," Ryder said, "making sure the air pressure was normal, when he heard the sound of a motor. He stopped to look and saw a raft with a man and pup in it. He heard them talking about Adventure Bay, and he also heard that they had abandoned ship somewhere!"
"They abandoned ship?!" Zuma asked.
"They could be seriously hurt!" Marshall said.
"I don't know how long they've been out at sea," Ryder said, "but they might be in rough shape. If they are, we need to help them. This one is all paws on deck."
"Ryder," Chase said, "will this take long? I need to test out the new SWAT gear you got me."
"We'll see, Chase. For now," Ryder said, "we focus on the task at hand. Alright! PAW Patrol is on a roll!" Ryder then ran to a fireman's pole as the pups barked and howled and slid down it. They all then ran towards the slide and slid down, their puphouses turning into vehicles for them to drive. The only one who didn't have one was Everest, who simply bummed a ride off Marshall. They all drove away as Ryder led them.
"Ryder," Skye said, "I'm gonna break off. I'll try and find them from the air."
"Go for it, Skye!" Ryder said. She then broke off the formation they had and started looking, using the goggles on her face to look around. She soon saw them stranded in the water far away from the beach and saw the man looking at the engine.
"Ryder," Skye said, "I found them! It looks like the motor on their raft ran out of gas before they could reach the beach!"
"Great work, Skye! Zuma, you're with me. The rest of you, head to the beach. Skye, keep us updated on their position." Ryder said.
Location: Adventure Bay, a few miles from the beach
The man was looking at the motor and threw his hands up.
"Find the problem?" The pup asked.
"Yeah," the man said, "damn thing got hit with shrapnel from the ship. Busted the fuel line. If we had stopped anywhere before here, we'd be stranded."
"That means this raft isn't gonna hold much longer." The pup said, looking around. He then saw a helicopter and started freaking out.
"Hope we don't run into trouble out here." The man said.
"I think we already have!" The pup said.
"What?" The man asked. The pup pointed to the chopper.
"Someone ratted!" The pup said.
"Oh, shit!" The man said. He the reached into his bag and pulled out a pistol.
"Whoa!" The pup said, getting down. The man then aimed at the chopper and opened fire, firing two rounds.
"Whoa!" A voice from the helicopter said, swerving to dodge the rounds before fleeing.
"That should hold them off." The man said.
"Are you crazy?! That could have been a rescue chopper!" The pup said.
"We didn't give out a SOS before we left! How could that be a rescue chopper?!" The man asked.
"We passed the lighthouse! Someone could have heard the motor and called in a rescue team to see if we needed help!" The pup said. The man facepalmed and groaned.
"Damn it!" He said.
"Way to get trigger happy!" The pup said.
Meanwhile, the helicopter was back where it was, and the one inside was more cautious. The pup saw the logo on the helicopter and gasped.
"What? Is it the Coast Guard?" The man asked.
"No," the pup said, "it's not! I recognize that logo! It's the PAW Patrol!" The man soon started shaking and sat down.
"I just shot at the PAW Patrol?!" The man asked. Skye saw this happening and got worried.
"Ryder," Skye said, "be careful! The man is armed with a gun! He shot at me, but I don't think he realized who I was! The pup seems to recognize the logo on my copter! I think he knows about the PAW Patrol and told the man about the logo. He just sat down, and he's shaking! I think he's going into shock!"
"Thanks, Skye! Zuma, stay on your guard!" Ryder said.
"You got it, Ryder!" Zuma said. The pup soon looked around and saw water seeping in the raft.
"Hey! HEY!!!! WE'RE SINKING!!!!" The pup yelled. Skye gasped.
"Ryder," Skye said, "their raft is sinking!"
"YOU HAVE A HARNESS, RIGHT?!" The pup yelled.
"I think the pup has a plan!" Skye said.
"BRING YOUR HARNESS OVER AND LOWER IT DOWN!!!! I'LL HOOK HIM ONTO IT SO YOU CAN GET HIM TO SHORE!!!! I'LL SWIM AS FAR AS I CAN!!!! HAVE SOMEONE MEET ME HALFWAY!!!!" The pup yelled.
"Ryder," Skye said, "the pup wants me to get the man off the raft first! He'll swim halfway between the beach and where he is as much as he can!"
"It's pretty risky," Ryder said, "but it just might work. Do it, Skye!" Skye then flew to the pup and brought out her harness. The pup then put the harness on the man and placed his bag on the man behind the harness. He motioned for Skye to go up and he started swimming. Skye started headed to shore.
"Marshall and I have a landing zone set up, Skye! Bring him down!" Chase said. Meanwhile, Zuma and Ryder started meeting the pup at the halfway mark. The pup stopped a bit and put a paw on Zuma's hovercraft before getting up on it and nodding. Zuma and Ryder then went to the beach as the raft sank to the bottom.
Location: Adventure Bay, Beach
The man was just shaking as a shock blanket was placed around him by Marshall. Ryder and Zuma soon came up on the beach with the pup and Marshall ran to them.
"Ryder," Marshall said, "the man is in shock. Chase looked through his bag and found some ID. He's a federal agent!"
"A federal agent?!" Zuma asked. The pup jumped down and looked serious.
"What agency?" He asked.
"Some agency called NCIS." Marshall said.
"NCIS?! That's the Naval Criminal Investigative Service." The pup said.
"How do you know that?" Zuma asked.
"Because I was in the military. I served seven years in the United States Navy." The pup said.
"Are they the Navy's investigative branch?" Ryder asked.
"No," the pup said, "NCIS is a civilian agency."
"You seem to know a lot about them." Ryder said.
"When I was in the Navy," the pup said, "I was a Master-at-Arms. Afterwards, I had gone into mercenary work. Much good that got me. Greedy jerks."
"Well," Marshall said, "I need to check you over."
"You said he was in shock?" The pup asked.
"Yeah," Marshall said, looking at the man, "and it's bad. It seems like he's never fired his weapon before." The pup approached the man and slapped him.
"Huh?!" The man asked, looking around.
"Hey," the pup said, getting the man's attention, "you work for NCIS, right?"
"How did you know that?" The man asked.
"The PAW Patrol looked through your bag and found your ID. Listen," the pup asked, "what do you do at NCIS?"
"I'm an investigator. I work for one of NCIS' Major Case Response Teams." The man said.
"Have you fired your weapon before?" The pup asked.
"Only in self-defense against a suspect," the man said, "or at a serious threat."
"That explains why he went into shock. When he realized I wasn't a threat," Skye said, "his body shut down!"
"I'm so sorry! I didn't know!" The man said.
"It's fine. Just tell us your name." Ryder said.
"M-My name is Special Agent Lawrence Dorneget," the man said, "United States Naval Criminal Investigative Service."
"Alright. Where's your phone?" Ryder asked.
"In my bag." Agent Dorneget said. Chase then found the phone and Ryder plugged it up to his vehicle to charge it before making a call. The line rang and Ryder had it on speaker.
"Hello?" A voice asked.
"Hi," Ryder said, "is this the nearest NCIS Field Office to Adventure Bay?"
"Yes," the voice said, "can I help you?"
"Yes," Ryder said, "my name is Ryder. I'm the founder and leader of the PAW Patrol in Adventure Bay. One of your agents, Lawrence Dorneget, just showed up in a raft. He opened fire at us, thinking us to be a threat."
"My God! Is he okay?" The voice asked.
"He's fine," Ryder said, "but he won't be making it back on his own. Is there anyway you guys can get a transport to pick him up?"
"Of course! We'll send someone immediately! Thank you for letting us know! We're tracking his location now," the voice said, "and a transport will be there shortly. We thought he was lost at sea!"
"Lost at sea?" Ryder asked.
"He was on a Navy cargo ship headed to Boston," the voice said, "when we lost communication with the ship. The ship's captain put out a SOS, but the ship exploded! We thought our agent was either dead or lost at sea!"
"That explains why they had the raft!" Zuma said. That's when the pup remembered what caused the ship to explode in the first place.
"Check the Weather Report!" The pup said.
"Huh?" Ryder asked.
"Wait," the voice said, "I just got word from the Coast Guard that they were suspending the search for the cargo ship. Is it because of the weather?"
"Yes! When we were on the ship," the pup said, "we were caught in a Category 2 hurricane! That hurricane caused the ship to break apart and explode! Your agent and I managed to escape on a raft with a motor, but we never made it to land because some shrapnel from the ship ruptured our fuel line!"
"I'm looking at the report now. Whoa! That's a BIG storm!" The voice said.
"What's it's current location?" The pup asked.
"About 4000 Nautical Miles from Adventure Bay and closing." The voice said. The pup had grabbed a map and traced it out.
"That puts it about… here! It's one week out!" The pup said.
"Sounds about right." The voice said. A sedan the pulled up and two agents stepped out.
"Transport is here!" Rubble said.
"Alright," the voice said, "let them take the agent. One might stay behind to ask for your statements."
"Not much to give other than what I told you." Ryder said.
"We'll make sure our agent gets here safe. You guys worry about the storm headed your way." The voice said. The line then cut off and Ryder unplugged the phone from his vehicle. He then gave it and the bag to one of the agents while the other got Agent Dorneget.
"Thank you for rescuing our agent." The agent said.
"No problem. Whenever you're in trouble," Ryder said, "just yelp for help." The agent nodded and went to the sedan. The sedan then drove away and the pup sighed. Chase then approached the pup and recognized him.
"Gibbs?" Chase asked. The pup looked at Chase and gasped slightly.
"Chase? Chase, is that you?!" The pup asked.
"Gibbs!" Chase exclaimed.
"Chase!" The pup said. The two then ran to each other and hugged, practically shedding tears.
"I missed you so much!" Chase said.
"Same here!" The pup said. The two broke the hug and Chase smiled.
"How are mom and dad?" Chase asked.
"Well," the pup said, looking solemn, "they passed away not long after you were taken to Adventure City. I was around for the funeral, but I was sent out shortly after." Chase looked down before looking back at the pup.
"Did they suffer?" Chase asked.
"They died doing what they loved, little brother." The pup said. Ryder cleared his throat and Chase looked at him.
"Mind introducing us?" He asked.
"Sorry, Ryder. Everyone," Chase said, placing a paw on the pup, "this is my big brother, Gibbs. Gibbs, this is the PAW Patrol. Marshall, Rubble, Rocky, Zuma, Skye, Everest, and Ryder."
"A pleasure to meet you, Gibbs." Ryder said. Gibbs simply smiled and nodded.
"The pleasure is all mine." He said. Ryder the got another call.
"Ryder here." Ryder said.
"Ryder," a voice said, "it's Captain Turbot again! Listen, my barometers are going haywire! I talked with the Weather Service, and they told me a Category 5 hurricane is headed to Adventure Bay! They're issuing an evacuation order!"
"Can you get here in time?" Ryder asked.
"I can," Captain Turbot said, "but I'm more worried about you guys! This hurricane could devastate the Lookout!"
"Not just the Lookout. It could wipe out the entirety of Adventure Bay!" Gibbs said.
"They're saying to evacuate now! The storm is one week away from hitting landfall!" Captain Turbot said.
"We'll get to work on it, Captain Turbot. You just get over here and get to a safe spot." Ryder said. Gibbs looked at the map again and marked a location on it.
"Ryder," Gibbs said, "there's a clearing not far from the entrance to Jake's Mountain. We can use that to setup an evacuation zone!"
"That's a great idea!" Skye said.
"You know what you're doing, Gibbs. Tell us what to do." Ryder said. Gibbs nodded and the others started listening.
"Rocky and Rubble," Gibbs said, "you're on sandbag duty. Make some sandbags to put around Adventure Bay so the flooding is limited!"
"Rubble on the double!" Rubble said, going to his rig.
"Green means go!" Rocky said, going to his truck.
"Zuma," Gibbs said, "head out to the water and make sure no one is out. If there is, tell them about the storm and get them to shore. Skye, help him out from the air."
"Let's dive in!" Zuma said, starting his hovercraft.
"This pup's gotta fly!" Skye said, going to her copter and going up.
"Chase," Gibbs said, "set up some traffic cones to lead others to the evacuation zone. As you do that, Ryder will be going door to door telling everyone about the evacuation. Everest will tell everyone on Jake's Mountain."
"Off the trail, I won't fail!" Everest said, running off.
"Chase is on the case!" Chase said, going to his truck.
"What about me?" Marshall asked.
"We're going to start setting the evacuation zone up," Gibbs said, "as well as a medical tent."
"I'll join you after I finish telling the town." Ryder said.
"Make sure the others go there when they're done!" Gibbs said.
"How will we know where it is?" Marshall asked.
"I've told Robo Dog to put the PAW Patroller there!" Ryder said.
"Good call!" Gibbs said.
"Come on!" Marshall said. The two then got in Marshall's truck and drove to the evacuation point to get it set up.
Location: Jake's Mountain, Mountain Lodge
Jake was collecting some firewood when he saw Everest going towards him.
"Yo, Everest! What's the hurry?" He asked.
"There's a Category 5 hurricane on a course for Adventure Bay!" Everest said.
"Whoa," Jake said, "that's spooky!"
"The Weather Service is issuing an evacuation order effective immediately!" Everest said.
"We have to warn the campers! Looks like I'm closing the lodge for awhile." Jake said.
"I'll start telling the campers. You tell everyone at the lodge and get it prepared for a Category 5 hurricane." Everest said.
"You got it!" Jake said, headed inside.
"I just hope everyone will be okay." Everest said.
Location: Adventure Bay, City Hall
Ryder pulled up to City Hall and saw Mayor Goodway talking to Mr. Porter.
"Mayor Goodway! Mr. Porter!" Ryder said.
"Ryder!" Mr. Porter said.
"Is everything alright?" Mayor Goodway asked.
"Not really. A Category 5 hurricane is headed to Adventure Bay," Ryder said, "and the Weather Service is calling for an immediate evacuation!"
"Immediate evacuation?!" The two asked.
"I have to get Alex!" Mr. Porter said.
"I have to get Chikaletta!" Mayor Goodway said. The two then ran off as Ryder went back to his vehicle and drove towards another location.
"Hope the others are doing okay." Ryder said.
Location: Adventure Bay, Evacuation Route
Chase was directing traffic as Rocky and Rubble were putting sandbags in front of businesses and homes. Rocky wiped some sweat from his brow and pressed his pup tag.
"Ryder," he said, "Rubble and I need some help. I think we need to call them in."
"Tracker and Carlos are almost to the evacuation zone. They helped Marshall and Gibbs set it up, and Marshall is busy at the medical tent. Tuck and Ella are too busy dealing with Ladybird right now." Ryder said.
"There has to be SOMEONE we can call!" Rocky said.
"Yeah," Rubble said, "because we can't keep working on filling the sandbags AND placing them around town!"
"Then we need some outside help." Ryder said.
Location: Adventure City, PAW Patrol Headquarters
Liberty was looking at the city, admiring her work as she had evacuated the streets and blocked off the side streets in preparation for the storm. As she was relaxing, her pup tag went off and started glowing.
"Liberty," a voice said, "are you there?"
"I'm here, Ryder! I already have Adventure City prepared for the storm!" Liberty said.
"Good," Ryder said, "because we need your help in Adventure Bay! The hurricane is gonna hit us first, and it's gonna hit HARD."
"You need help putting sandbags up, right? I have plenty to spare! I'll bring them down and help put them where they need to go." Liberty said.
"Make it fast, Liberty." Ryder said.
"Understood," Liberty said, "and I'll be careful. Liberty out!" She then got up and went to her scooter with wagons filled with sandbags attached to them and started headed to Adventure Bay.
Location: Adventure Bay, a few miles from the beach
Zuma was looking around from the water while Skye looked from the air.
"Ryder," Zuma said, "there's no one that I can see."
"I don't see anyone either." Skye said.
"Alright," Ryder said, "Zuma get to the evacuation point. Skye, go to Farmer Al and Farmer Yumi's and tell them about the hurricane."
"On it, Ryder!" Skye said.
"Stay safe, Skye!" Zuma said, headed to the evacuation zone. Skye flew towards Farmer Al and Farmer Yumi's when she saw them preparing the farm.
"Ryder," Skye said, "they already know. They're getting everything inside the barn now!"
"They must have heard from the Weather Service. Do they have everything packed?" Ryder asked. Skye looked around and sighed in relief.
"They do. Headed to the evacuation zone now!" Skye said.
"Good work, Skye!" Ryder said.
"Let's just hope everyone else is doing okay." Skye said.
Location: Adventure Bay, Evacuation Zone
Marshall was looking over anyone that came to the medical tent and saw Gibbs keeping watch. That's when Captain Turbot approached and looked worried.
"Who is that pup, Marshall?" He asked.
"His name is Gibbs. He's Chase's big brother." Marshall said.
"I heard that the man worked for NCIS. Was he okay?" Turbot asked.
"He was in shock," Marshall said, "but otherwise fine." Everest then came over and went behind the tent.
"Ryder," she said, "Jake and I just got to the evacuation zone. Looks like Gibbs has it set up to where the medical tent isn't far from the PAW Patroller."
"It's to help make sure I have what I need!" Marshall said.
"That's pretty smart. Are Carlos and Tracker still there?" Ryder asked.
"No," Marshall said, "they left not that long ago to go back to the jungle."
"Alright. Everest," Ryder said, "help Marshall with the medical tent. Marshall, make sure she can handle the basics."
"You got it, Ryder!" They said, simultaneously. They then got to work as Gibbs was looking out over the sky. He saw some faint clouds and got worried.
"I hope this is enough." He spoke.
Location: Adventure Bay, Beach.
Rocky just finished filling another sandbag and placed it in Rubble's rig in the bucket. He panted and wiped sweat from his forehead.
"This is hard work." Rocky said.
"Then let me make it easier." A voice said. Rocky looked towards the voice and saw Liberty.
"Liberty!" Rubble said.
"Did someone order some sandbags?" Liberty asked. She motioned to the wagons and Rubble's jaw dropped. Rocky smiled and gave a nod.
"This should be plenty enough!" Rocky said.
"What can I say? I'm always prepared. Let's get these sandbags set up so I can get back home in time for the lockdown." Liberty said.
"Lockdown?" Rocky asked.
"Yeah. Adventure City is going on lockdown! No one in or out until the storm passes." Liberty said.
"That's pretty scary." Rubble said.
"That's nothing compared to when there's a last minute evacuation. Talk about being blindsided." Liberty said.
"Well," Rocky said, "we'd better hurry. I think I feel the air shifting."
"The Weather Service said it wouldn't be here for another week." Liberty said.
"True," Rocky said, "but that's for a Category 5. What if it joined with another storm?" The thought made Rubble's skin crawl and he looked over the ocean.
"We'd better get to work then." He said. Rocky and Liberty nodded and they all got to work.
Location: Adventure Bay, Katie's Pet Salon
Katie looked around and started walking towards the evacuation zone with Cali, her cat, in a carrier. She wasn't paying attention, and didn't see a panel van creeping up on her. One of the doors slowly opened, not making a sound. Right as Katie was about to be in Chase's view, the van sped up and stopped next to her.
"Huh?" She asked. Someone in the van then grabbed her and put a hand over her mouth. She was screaming, but it was muffled. The person then dragged Katie into the van, unaware of the helicopter hovering overhead.
"Ryder," Skye said, "Katie was just forced into a white panel van!"
"What?! Where's the van going?!" Ryder asked.
"Away from the evacuation route! Looks like they're taking her to Foggy Bottom!" Skye said.
"Keep following the van, Skye! Don't get spotted! I'm on my way!" Ryder said.
"No," a voice said, "it's too dangerous. Ryder, get to the evacuation point. I'll take one of the other vehicles and intercept!"
"Gibbs? Is that you?" Skye asked.
"I overheard everything from a radio I found in the PAW Patroller! Chase, do you have any other vehicles?" Gibbs asked.
"There's my Spy truck," Chase said, "but the siren on it only has one function."
"That'll work! I found a dash cam and body cam, too!" Gibbs said. Skye then looked around and saw Gibbs in Chase's Spy truck.
"I see him, Ryder!" Skye said.
"Attempting a traffic stop now!" Gibbs said, turning the siren on. The lights simultaneously went on and the van drove off.
"They're running! Gibbs is in pursuit!" Skye said.
"Chase," Ryder said, "set up a roadblock!"
"I'll try to force them off the road without hurting Katie." Gibbs said.
"No cars in sight!" Skye said.
"Moving in for a PIT!" Gibbs said. He soon got in the van's blind spot and performed a textbook PIT Maneuver. The van lost control and flipped onto its top.
"They crashed! Not far from the beach!" Skye said.
"Going to check it out!" Gibbs said.
"Marshall is on his way!" Everest said. Gibbs then checked the van and saw the driver and his passenger not moving and with glass shards in their throats.
"Driver and front passenger are DOA! Checking the back!" Gibbs said, going to the back. He saw one of the doors open and Skye gasped as Katie was crawling out.
"Katie's crawling out!" Skye exclaimed.
"Marshall," Gibbs said, "what's your ETA?!"
"Pulling up now!" Marshall said, pulling up in his ambulance. Katie dropped a carrier down and Gibbs caught it as Marshall was easing Katie down.
"How did you know I got grabbed?" Katie asked.
"Skye saw it from above and told Ryder." Marshall said. Katie collapsed as Marshall got her to a stretcher in the back of his ambulance.
"Get her to the evacuation zone! Skye, go with them! I'll secure the scene!" Gibbs said.
"I'll notify the Coroner on the way!" Marshall said.
"Get her to the medical tent! If she's in a severe state where she needs surgery," Gibbs said, "get her prepped for it then move her to the PAW Patroller after!" Marshall nodded and drove off, the lights and siren going. Skye soon followed and saw Rubble and Rocky with Liberty putting the last of the sandbags where they needed to go.
"I hope we don't have to call the Coroner because of the storm." Skye said.
Location: Adventure Bay, Evacuation Zone
Ryder was pacing back and forth as Marshall pulled up. Everest ran to the back of Marshall's ambulance and got Katie while she was on the stretcher. She then ran to the medical tent and Marshall followed as Ryder had approached.
"No, Ryder. You can't be back here for this." Marshall said. Ryder understood and Marshall joined Everest as someone approached.
"You can't be back here!" Everest said.
"I'm a doctor in Adventure City. I can help her." The person said.
"Are you a surgeon or ER doctor?" Marshall asked.
"I'm a surgeon." The person said.
"Get some gloves on." Marshall said.
Meanwhile, Skye and Zuma had arrived and approached the PAW Patroller.
"Can you believe Gibbs had done that PIT so skillfully?" Skye asked.
"No way!" Zuma said.
"We need to see the dash cam footage." Skye said.
"Oh, yeah!" Zuma said. Ryder looked at the medical tent and sighed.
"Please be okay, Katie." Ryder said.
Location: Adventure Bay, Evacuation Route
Chase was directing the traffic when he saw Rocky and Rubble with Liberty.
"You two done?" Chase asked.
"Almost," Rocky said, "we just need to put sandbags at the Lookout. After that, we'll be done."
"What about you, Liberty?" Chase asked.
"I might as well hunker down here. Adventure City is probably in lockdown by now." Liberty said.
"Mind if we pass so we can put sandbags around the Lookout?" Rubble asked.
"Go ahead! Just make sure you do it fast!" Chase said. He then saw Coroner's van drive by and sighed.
"Hard to believe that the ones who grabbed Katie had died." Rocky said.
"They got off easy compared to if they were still alive. Ryder would probably tell Chase to put them UNDER the jail!" Rubble said.
"Does he care about Katie that much?" Liberty asked.
"You have no idea." Rubble said.
"Hey! Less talk," Rocky said, "more work! We still have to make sure WE have everything packed."
"Good point." Rubble said. Chase then moved some cones and let Rocky, Rubble, and Liberty pass by before putting the cones back. He soon saw his pup tag light up.
"Chase," a voice said, "it's Gibbs. You copy?"
"I hear you, Gibbs. What's up?" Chase asked.
"The two DOAs are mercenaries out of Foggy Bottom." Gibbs said.
"What?" Chase asked, not believing it.
"You heard me. This was a contract." Gibbs said.
"I'll talk with Ryder and see if Katie has any family she's hiding from." Chase said.
"Alright. The Coroner is still on scene. How far are you from the crash site?" Gibbs asked.
"Not that far. I can meet up with you after everyone is in the evacuation zone." Chase said.
"Have Ryder look at the storm right now," Gibbs said, "and make it fast. I feel the air shifting and the air pressure rising." Chase then looked over the ocean and got worried.
"I don't like how the sky is looking, Gibbs." Chase said.
"Have Ryder check the progress of the storm!" Gibbs said.
"Ryder," Chase said, "can you hear me?"
"I heard everything," Ryder said, "and your hunch was right. The hurricane met up with two Tropical Storms and a Category 1 Hurricane. It's still a Category 5, but every city in its path WILL suffer damage."
"How long until it makes landfall?" Gibbs asked.
"Less than four hours." Ryder said.
"The Coroner is leaving with the bodies now! How much longer will it take for everyone to get to the evacuation zone?!" Gibbs asked. Chase looked and saw the Coroner's van approaching and let it pass by his barricade to leave Adventure Bay.
"Looks like the last vehicle is going there now! Coroner's van just passed by!" Chase said.
"Rocky, Rubble, and Liberty are already here!" Ryder said.
"Break down the route, Chase! I'm on my way to help!" Gibbs said. Chase soon started to break down the route as Gibbs started approaching. He soon stopped and helped Chase before going on alert. Chase went on alert, too.
"Do you hear that?" Chase asked.
"Sounds like rushing water." Gibbs said. The two turned around and their eyes went wide as a tsunami the size of the cliff the Lookout was on started to rise up.
"OH, SHIT!!!!" They yelled. The quickly finished breaking the route down and sped off to the evacuation zone. They had made it just in time as the tsunami struck down. The other pups ran over and gasped as they saw the carnage of the tsunami. Gibbs then felt a raindrop hit his head and looked up.
"Get to shelter." He said.
"Huh?" Zuma asked.
"EVERYONE GET TO SHELTER!!!! THIS HURRICANE JUST MADE LANDFALL!!!!" Gibbs yelled. They all ran to shelter just as it started to pour down. The pups, Ryder, Gibbs, and an unconscious Katie were taken to the PAW Patroller. Right as the door closed, a large gust of wind blew and sent the bell from city hall flying past.
"Whoa!" Rocky said. Rubble whimpered in fear and Skye and Everest hid their faces in Chase and Marshall's chests. Liberty was hiding in a corner, shaking.
"Glad we got everyone to safety." Zuma said.
"Adventure Bay is saved," Gibbs said, looking at the storm in front of him, "but at what cost?" Lightning then struck as the periscope on the Lookout had flown off. Katie soon woke up and groaned. Ryder went to her and held her hand.
"Katie," he said, "can you hear me?" Katie slowly opened her eyes and looked at Ryder.
"Ryder? Where am I?" Katie asked.
"You're in the PAW Patroller. Two mercenaries from Foggy Bottom had tried to abduct you," Ryder said, "but we stopped them. After Marshall helped you out of the van, you had collapsed in his stretcher. We brought you to the evacuation zone."
"We needed to make sure you were okay," Marshall said, "and a doctor from Adventure City helped us. He was a surgeon. We managed to get a mobile CAT scan set up, and we put you through it so we could see if you had any internal injuries. You didn't have any."
"Who did the PIT on the van?" Katie asked.
"I did." Gibbs said. Chase stood next to him.
"Katie," Chase said, "this is Gibbs. He's my big brother."
"I'm sorry if the PIT caused any damage to you." Gibbs said.
"No," Katie said, "it didn't. It actually saved me! I was about to suffocate when the van was hit, and it sent me into a bolt that cut the duct tape they had put on my hands. After my hands were freed, I took the gag they had placed over my mouth off and cut myself free from the duct tape on my feet. That's when I got Cali's carrier and opened the door. I heard you say that the two men who grabbed me were DOA. That means dead on arrival, right?"
"Yeah. They had glass shards in their throats." Gibbs said.
"They got off easy." Katie said. She tried to get up, but Ryder stopped her.
"Now isn't a good time to move." He said. Katie nodded and Chase looked at Ryder.
"Ryder," Chase said, "is it possible for us to test the SWAT gear you got for me?"
"Maybe after the hurricane is over and after we rebuild." Ryder said. Chase nodded and Gibbs looked on Ryder's pup pad. He pulled up the weather tracker, and started looking at it. Ryder then put it up on the big screen in the PAW Patroller and Gibbs started watching it from there. The others started to get into comfortable positions and fell asleep. The only one who was up was Gibbs.
After a few hours, Gibbs felt a paw on his shoulder. He looked to his side and saw Liberty, smiling.
"Go get some sleep, big guy. I'll be on weather watch for a bit." She said. He then nodded and went to a corner and fell asleep. Ryder woke up soon after and saw Liberty watching the weather tracker.
"You and Gibbs taking shifts?" He asked.
"Yeah," Liberty said, "I'm taking mine now. I couldn't sleep all that well." Ryder smiled and Katie soon woke up. She started getting up and Ryder helped her.
"I gotta use the bathroom." Katie said.
"Come on. I gotcha." Ryder said. The two then left the area and went to the bathroom.
After a few hours, Gibbs woke up and relieved Liberty. Ryder and Katie were back in the area, but in each others arms. Gibbs then went on alert as he saw a silhouette from outside the PAW Patroller. The silhouette soon went to the door of the PAW Patroller and Gibbs growled, eyes furrowed. The silhouette started tampering with the door and Gibbs growled louder before barking loudly. The others jumped awake and Ryder looked around.
"Is everything okay, Gibbs?" Skye asked. Chase went on alert and jumped up.
"Someone's trying to break in!" He said. The door of the PAW Patroller then opened and Gibbs jumped out the area and landed on the intruder, pinning him down.
"Get off of me, you mutt!" The intruder said, trying to grab him. Gibbs dodged the intruder's attempts and knocked him unconscious with a paw strike to the throat.
"Whoa!" Liberty and Everest said. Marshall and Chase ran to them and Ryder started to close the PAW Patroller door. However, a foot stepped on and someone came in. Gibbs looked behind and saw a man holding a pistol and growled. The man pulled out a wallet and showed a badge and ID, revealing him to be a federal agent. Gibbs stopped growling, but remained alert.
"What agency?" He asked.
"NCIS." The man said. Gibbs got off the intruder and the agent took the intruder into custody.
"How's Agent Dorneget doing?" Marshall asked.
"He's fine. He put in a transfer." The agent said.
"Tell him the PAW Patrol says 'hey' the next time you see him." Chase said.
"Will do." The agent said.
"He a suspect of yours?" Gibbs asked.
"Part of a mercenary group hired by a Navy Commander to find his daughter and bring her to him." The agent said.
"Is the daughter's name Katie?" Gibbs asked.
"We've already told him that she's on her own and independent." The agent said.
"Did you disclose her location?" Gibbs asked.
"No," the agent said, "he misused NAVCOM to find her."
"NAVCOM?" Chase askes.
"The Navy's communication and location satellites." Gibbs said.
"He's already been charged." The agent said.
"Good." Gibbs said.
"Stay safe." The agent said, leaving.
"You do the same, Agent." Gibbs said. The agent stopped and looked at Gibbs. Gibbs nodded and the agent nodded in return before leaving with the intruder.
After a few weeks, and lots of awkward moments, the hurricane had left and Adventure Bay was flooded beyond recognition.
"This is gonna be awhile." Chase said.
"Zuma," Ryder said, "take your hovercraft and go into the water. If you see something, let us know."
"Will do, Ryder." Zuma said.
"I'll go with him." Gibbs said. Ryder nodded and Gibbs and Zuma set out. They looked around and Gibbs saw pieces of the town floating in the water. Zuma stopped and Gibbs reached down to pick up a picture of a family. Zuma looked solemn and pointed out to what appeared to be a corpse. Gibbs nodded and Zuma went to it. When they got there, Gibbs turned what they saw over and Zuma gasped. It was Mayor Humdinger. Zuma soon gagged and leaned over the opposite side of Mayor Humdinger and hurled.
"Call it in." Zuma said, getting air. Gibbs started rubbing Zuma's back as he pressed a button.
"Ryder," Gibbs said, "Zuma and I found something."
"What is it?" Ryder asked. Gibbs looked at Zuma who started to hurl again.
"Mayor Humdinger's body. Looks like he's been floating out here awhile." Gibbs said.
"Can Zuma bring him in?" Ryder asked.
"He's blowing chunks." Gibbs said.
"Understood," Ryder said, "I'm on my way there." Zuma shook his head and Gibbs realized why.
"Don't bother. Looks like Mayor Humdinger decided to play a joke on us. Body's a fake. It's made out of sandbags." Gibbs said.
"Then why is Zuma throwing up?" Ryder asked.
"Because of the smell. The sandbags reek of sewage and rotten seafood." Zuma said.
"We're moving on." Gibbs said. Zuma the drove off and Gibbs scanned the water.
After about two hours, Zuma and Gibbs came back and shook their heads. Nothing was seen. The government soon sent aid and supplies to the evacuation zone. Among the supplies were things that Ryder needed for the pups, and something for Katie from her dad.
"Consider this an apology for trying to force you into a life you didn't want to live." Katie said, reading the note. She then opened what she got and gasped. It was a new set of brushes for pets. Gibbs then looked around as Ryder was sorting everything out. He sighed and went back in the PAW Patroller. Ryder saw him go in and had a worried look on his face. He soon finished up and walked in the PAW Patroller, seeing Gibbs sitting on a seat.
"You okay?" Ryder asked.
"I will be after the water recedes to normal." Gibbs said. Ryder sat next to him and petted his back.
"Talk to me. What's wrong?" Ryder asked. Gibbs sighed and looked at Ryder.
"When's the last time a member of your family came by?" Gibbs asked. Ryder looked solemn.
"I don't have any. My parents died when I was young," Ryder said, "and I didn't have anyone else. I was all alone."
"Until you found my brother and the other pups. They became your family. Chase and I grew up in a bad home," Gibbs said, looking at Chase playing tag with the others, "and he was separated from me all these years. I managed to do okay on my own. Chase had you. They all have you."
"You're wondering if their families will care if they're alive or not." Ryder said.
"Wouldn't you?" Gibbs asked. Ryder simply nodded and Katie walked over.
"Ryder," she said, "could I talk to you?"
"You're wanting to know if you can help him run the PAW Patrol." Gibbs said. Katie had a look of shock, but sighed.
"There that is." Katie said. Ryder smiled and nodded.
"Of course. I don't mind it." Ryder said. Katie smiled and sat next to Ryder. Gibbs then went on alert and jumped up, darting outside. He looked up and saw a transport chopper for the United States Air Force.
"Chase! Marshall! Set up a LZ!" Gibbs said. Chase and Marshall nodded and had a LZ set up within seconds. The chopper landed and two dogs came out. The chopper then took off again and the dogs approached Ryder. One of them wore an Air Force dress uniform.
"Excuse me," the uniformed one said, "are you Ryder? Leader of the PAW Patrol?"
"I am. Who might you be?" Ryder asked.
"We're Skye's parents." The other one said. Skye gasped and looked at them.
"Mom? Dad?" She asked. The two dogs looked at Skye and she teared up.
"Skye? Is that you?" The uniformed one asked. Skye ran to them and hugged them. Chase looked nervous.
"I'm so glad you're okay!" Skye said. The two dogs smiled and hugged Skye close.
"We're just glad YOU'RE okay." The non-uniformed one said. Skye then broke the hug and looked at the others.
"Everyone," Skye said, "these are my parents. My dad, Air Force Commander Soaring, and my mom, Linda. Mom, dad, this is the PAW Patrol. Marshall, Rubble, Chase, Rocky, Zuma, Everest, and Liberty. We have one more named Tracker, but he lives in the jungle with Ryder's friend, Carlos."
"What about him?" Linda asked, pointing to Gibbs.
"I'm Chase's big brother, Gibbs." He said.
"Gibbs? As in former Navy Master-at-Arms Commander Gibbs?!" Commander Soaring asked.
"How does an Air Force Commander know who I am?" Gibbs asked.
"How can I not?! You're a legend!" Commander Soaring exclaimed.
"Huh?" Gibbs and Chase asked. Linda giggled a bit.
"My husband is in Security Forces. They're the Air Force version of Masters-at-Arms." She said.
"So," Gibbs said, "he's a cop in the Air Force?"
"That I am." Commander Soaring said.
"Then where does Skye get her love of flying from?" Gibbs asked. This earned a laugh out of Commander Soaring and Skye giggled.
"I thought it would be Ryder to ask!" Skye said.
"When Skye was first born," Linda said, "she went everywhere with us. However, she was attacked by an eagle when she was little. We saw Ryder and saw that he knew how to help her, and put her in his care."
"That explains her fear of eagles." Chase said.
"It also explains her love of flying. Security Forces not only protect the base," Gibbs said, "but some also go with the planes to protect them. They go where the planes go."
"Meaning they have to move around a lot." Linda said.
"When we heard about Adventure Bay getting hit by Hurricane Catarina," Commander Soaring said, "I was worried about my little princess. So, I put in a request to help with the relief effort."
"We'll need all the help we can get." Ryder said. Skye then motioned for Chase to come to her. Chase did so cautiously.
"Why so nervous?" Linda asked.
"Yeah," Commander Soaring said, "we don't bite. Unless you hurt my daughter." Chase gulped and Skye slapped her dad's chest.
"Dad! Don't worry, Chase. He won't hurt you." Skye said. Chase then sat next to Skye, but soon saw a flash from the water. He saw it again and gasped slightly.
"GET DOWN!!!!" Chase yelled. He tackled Skye down as a bullet whizzed by and hit a tire on the PAW Patroller. The gunshot rang out and Gibbs looked out over the water.
"SNIPER!!!!" Gibbs yelled.
"EVERYONE GET TO COVER!!!! MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!!!!" Chase yelled. Everyone started screaming as the sniper fired again. Chase got Skye to safety and got down as a bullet whizzed by his head and hit the PAW Patroller.
"Chase!" Skye said.
"Stay here!" Chase ordered. Chase soon ran in the PAW Patroller and put on his protective vest. He grabbed two more and gave one to Gibbs and one to Commander Soaring. They put them on and Gibbs ran and grabbed a rifle from Farmer Al.
"Hey!" Farmer Al said.
"I'm borrowing this!" Gibbs said. He soon got behind cover as the sniper shot again. Commander Soaring then went to his bag and pulled out two pistols. He gave one to Chase.
"Your brother needs covering fire!" He said.
"We can't hit him from here!" Chase said.
"It doesn't matter if we can hit him! We're suppressing him to buy Gibbs time to get a shot!" Commander Soaring said. Chase then grabbed the pistol and aimed it at the water. He then opened fire, and Commander Soaring did the same. Gibbs then left from cover and got into a position where he saw the sniper through Farmer Al's scope. He got the sniper in his crosshairs and gave a glare.
"I have the solution!" Gibbs said. After he said that, Chase and Commander Soaring ran out of ammo.
"I'm out!" Chase said.
"Same here!" Commander Soaring said. Skye gasped and popped her head up.
"TAKE THE SHOT, GIBBS!!!!" She yelled.
"SCORPIO!!!!" A voice yelled. Gibbs then shot once and hit the sniper in the head.
"Sniper's down!" Gibbs said.
"Wait," Chase said, "who said 'scorpio' before Gibbs shot?"
"I did." A voice said. Chase looked and saw a Chocolate Lab in a Coast Guard uniform. Zuma gasped nearly fainted.
"Dad?!" He asked.
"It's been awhile, Zuma. Glad to know you're okay." The uniformed Lab said. Zuma then ran to his dad and hugged him.
"Seems today is full of reunions. How about I get into the fray?" A voice said. They all looked and saw a Dalmatian in a FDNY uniform.
"Dad!" Marshall said, running to him.
"There's my boy!" The Dalmatian said, hugging Marshall back. Rocky, Rubble, and Everest smiled and Liberty was trying not to cry.
"Everyone," Marshall said, "this is my dad, FDNY Captain Smolder."
"This is mine," Zuma said, "Coast Guard Lieutenant-"
"Dwayne?" Commander Soaring asked. Zuma's dad looked at him and smiled.
"Soaring!" Zuma's dad said. The two then went to each other and bro hugged.
"You know each other?" Skye asked.
"All three of us know each other. We were friends since we were pups!" Smolder said.
"I figured ol' Bullet would be here already!" Dwayne said. That name caught Chase's and Gibbs attention.
"You knew our dad?" Chase asked.
"Yeah! He was part of our group! Where is he?" Smolder asked. Chase looked to Gibbs.
"Tell them." Chase said.
"What? Is he late?" Dwayne asked.
"He's KIA." Gibbs said, solemnly. Smolder gasped and Soaring made a cross over himself with a paw.
"Sorry to hear that." Dwayne said.
"How'd it happen?" Smolder asked.
"Him and my mom were chasing a suspect. They were both shot." Gibbs said.
"At least he died doing what he loved." Soaring said.
"Yeah." Chase said.
"We'll help out in any way we can." Smolder said.
"Thank you." Gibbs said.
"Anyways," Marshall said, "how about we all watch some TV together? I think Apollo the Super Pup is on."
"How about we watch something that we can ALL enjoy?" Ryder asked.
"Oh, no." Gibbs said, realizing it.
"The dash cam footage of Gibbs' pursuit?" Skye asked.
"Awesome!" Zuma said. They all went into the PAW Patroller and Ryder started the video. They all watched and Katie gasped as the PIT was performed.
"That was a textbook PIT!" She said.
"How was that possible?!" Smolder asked. Dwayne looked at Gibbs with a smile on his face.
"You're DEFINITELY Bullet's son! He could do a textbook PIT to a van like that with over 20 people inside," he said, "and they wouldn't even have a scratch on them!"
"I don't know if that's a complement," Gibbs said, "or if you just wanted to brag."
"A little of both." Dwayne said.
"Whatever." Gibbs said. Skye then sat next to Chase and "accidentally" started leaning on him. Chase caught on and held her up, causing Soaring to look at him.
"Is everything okay, Skye?" He asked.
"Yeah," Skye said, "I'm just wanting to get comfortable between you and Chase."
"I can move a bit if you want." Chase said.
"No," Skye said, "you're fine where you are."
"If you say so." Chase said. Gibbs smiled and chuckled a bit.
After several weeks of being in the evacuation zone, the government was there to check the damage to Adventure Bay. Even with the sandbags in place, the flooding damage was extensive. It was to the point that even the Lookout was deemed unlivable, and it didn't have any flood damage. Adventure Bay needed to be rebuilt COMPLETELY. Ryder and Katie soon formulated a plan, but all of Adventure Bay started to clean up. Even people from Adventure City showed up to help. Carlos and Tracker showed up to help, too. It took everyone there about five to six days to clean everything up, with help from the government and three military branches. Soon NCIS showed up with more supplies and extra hands. They started working in shifts. Morning shift was from seven in the morning to three in the evening, mid shift was from three in the evening to eleven at night, and night shift was from eleven at night to seven in the morning. This continued for about four weeks, until the government had deemed everything to be livable. Adventure Bay was better than it was before. Everywhere was retrofitted with updated equipment, new lights and signs, and they even installed a warning system for tsunamis and bad weather. The Lookout was retrofitted as well, and an expansion was added to it. Ryder managed to get a training room put in, and he even added a maintenance area. The government then gave the go ahead for everyone in Adventure Bay to move back in. They all cheered and Chase got to work with directing traffic.
Location: Adventure Bay, City Hall
Everyone was gathered around as Mayor Goodway stood at the podium.
"Citizens of Adventure Bay! We are lucky to have survived such a terrible storm," she spoke, "and with no casualties. However, we must not celebrate just yet. For there is still the matter of paying back the government for their assistance. In light of that, they may tell us we have to pay more taxes." Before the crowd could react, a government official pulled up and went to the podium.
"As an official from the government," the person said, "I wish to assure you that your taxes won't be raised to pay us back. Instead, we wish to hold an event here in Adventure Bay! One that will not only pay off your debt, but also earn you a bigger budget!"
"What's the event?" Turbot asked.
"We wish to hold Adventure Bay's first ever 'Family Day' within the next few weeks." The official said. Everyone murmured and Gibbs spoke up.
"What's the catch?" He asked.
"The catch is you have to set everything up on your own. From the location of the event," the official said, "to who will be providing security."
"I volunteer as security for the event!" Soaring said. The official shook their head.
"It's been requested that military personnel NOT be part of security. Volunteer or not." They said.
"What about the PAW Patrol?" Alex asked.
"They're not to be part of security either." The official said.
"This is gonna be harder than I thought." Alex said.
"We will discuss it at a later time." Mayor Goodway said.
"There's one other thing. Will former Navy Commander Gibbs step onstage?" The official asked. Gibbs walked up onstage and the official saluted. Gibbs returned the salute and they both lowered it.
"Former Navy Commander Gibbs, reporting as ordered!" Gibbs said.
"I've been asked to give you your Navy formals." The official said.
"Then why aren't they with you?" Gibbs asked.
"Because your Navy formals were lost. As compensation," the official said, "I've been asked to have a formal uniform made for you for the PAW Patrol." Gibbs was taken aback at that.
"I'm not even part of the PAW Patrol!" Gibbs said.
"You are now." Ryder said. He then walked up onstage and placed a collar on Gibbs. The collar had a pup tag that was similar to Chase's, but the background was black and the badge was a shield with no eagle instead of a star. Gibbs was shocked.
"I… I don't know what to say!" Gibbs said.
"No words are needed. You deserve it." Ryder said.
"There's TWO police pups in the PAW Patrol now?!" Alex asked.
"Not quite." Ryder said.
"Huh?" Alex asked. Chase then went onstage and had a smile on his face.
"Gibbs' is not only a police pup," Chase said, "but he's also going to be a Tactical Medic and a SWAT pup." Gibbs looked at Chase in shock.
"The SWAT gear is what Ryder got for you!" Gibbs said.
"I have my Spy gear. You're more suited for the SWAT gear than I am." Chase said.
"Still," Gibbs said, "a Tactical Medic?! What about Marshall?!"
"I'm still the Fire and EMT pup," Marshall said, "but I'm gonna be busy teaching Everest the basics of what I know so SHE can be an EMT, too. You already know it from being in the Navy!"
"I haven't done anything like that in years! I'm more rusty than the nails we removed from the water damaged wood!" Gibbs said.
"Which is why I will be teaching you, too." Marshall said.
"This is all too sudden!" Gibbs said.
"You deserve this, Gibbs. You were the one who took charge of the evacuation effort!" Ryder said.
"If not for you," Chase said, "we'd have suffered more than we did!" Liberty then walked onstage with the rest of the PAW Patrol.
"You're a born leader, Gibbs. You're also a born hero." Ryder said. Mayor Goodway knelt down and gave a nod. Gibbs then shed a tear and took a breath.
"Thank you. I won't let you down, Ryder. I won't let any of you down!" Gibbs said. They all cheered and Chase hugged his brother.
"I've also been asked to have formal uniforms made for the other PAW Patrol members." The official said.
"Then we won't keep you waiting." Ryder said.
Location: Adventure Bay, Inside the Lookout
Gibbs was looking in the mirror at his new pup tag. Skye then came up behind him and gently placed a paw on him.
"Can I ask you something, Gibbs?" Skye asked.
"You just did." Gibbs said. Skye giggled and Gibbs smiled before nodding.
"Do you… think you can teach me something?" Skye asked.
"What is it you want to learn?" Gibbs asked.
"How to shoot." Skye said. Gibbs' jaw nearly dropped but he kept his composure.
"Shouldn't you ask your dad that?" Gibbs asked.
"Well," Skye said, "I would ask him, but… I think he'd do it in the wrong way. I would ask Chase to, but… I don't think he wants to be around me. Normally, he can't leave my side."
"When did he stop?" Gibbs asked.
"When my dad and mom showed up." Skye said. Gibbs started chuckling.
"Seems like he want to tell you something," Gibbs said, "but he doesn't want to upset your folks in case they don't like him."
"Wait," Skye said, "you don't think Chase… LIKES me, do you?"
"Well," Gibbs said, "he doesn't leave your side, he's acting nervous around your parents, he doesn't want to be seen near you with your parents around! That sounds like puppy love to me!" Skye soon started to freak out, but in a good way. Gibbs looked confused.
"Don't tell anyone," Skye said, "but…. I have a crush on Chase!" Gibbs blinked in response before getting serious.
"You have a what on who now?!" Gibbs asked.
"You heard me! I have a crush on your brother!" Skye said.
"Does Ryder know?" Gibbs asked.
"Should he?" Skye asked.
"He should if you want him to help you tell Chase!" Gibbs said. Skye gasped before looking at Chase through the Lookout doors.
"What if Chase is too scared of my dad to tell me how he feels about me? Gibbs, what should I do?!" Skye asked, starting to worry.
"Just calm down. You'll know when the time is right." Gibbs said.
"What should I do to help him get on my parents' good side?" Skye asked.
"How about we all go camping on Jake's Mountain later in the week?" Gibbs asked.
"No," Skye said, "that's too obvious."
"Hmm… nothing too obvious," Gibbs said, "but not too dangerous. Wait, that's it!"
"What is it?" Skye asked.
"You can have Chase teach you how to shoot with your parents watching the two of you!" Gibbs said. Skye gasped in realization and nearly facepawed.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Skye asked.
"Just be yourself," Gibbs said, "and everything will be okay."
"Alright," Skye said, "thanks, Gibbs!" Gibbs nodded and Skye ran to Chase as he walked in with Skye's parents.
"Skye," Linda said, "you didn't tell me that you've been to Barkingburg. We could have met up sooner and caught up over tea with the Princess!"
"That's something we can talk about later. I want the Princess of Barkingburg to be here when we get on that subject. Anyways," Skye said, "I have something to ask you, Chase."
"What is it?" Chase asked.
"Do you think you can teach me how to shoot?" Skye asked. Chase had a look of shock on his face and her parents smiled.
"Did I hear that right?" Chase asked.
"You did. After what happened when my parents first showed up," Skye said, "I wanted to be able to protect myself better. Plus, since I'm a pilot, I need to be able to protect myself should I find myself stranded someplace and my helicopter is totaled."
"It makes since," Chase said, "but I don't know if Ryder would be okay with it."
"I'll talk to Ryder about it." Soaring said.
"I think it's a good idea that Skye knows how to shoot. That way," Linda said, "she'll have a weapon to protect herself. Plus, she can keep you from trying anything." Chase tensed up and Skye looked at Linda.
"Mom!" She said.
"Oh," Linda said, "I'm only teasing! Don't worry so much!"
"Besides," Soaring said, "Chase wouldn't do anything you wouldn't be comfortable with. He's a gentle pup. Just like I was to your mom and her parents. If he ever wanted to date you, I'd probably give my blessing. However, it's still too soon for you to date anyone!" Ryder then walked in with Katie and stretched a bit.
"Alright, pups! Tomorrow we start our training again!" Ryder said.
"Good luck with that. I gotta head back to Adventure City! Nice seeing you guys again," Liberty said, "and nice meeting you all who are new!"
"Drive safe, Liberty!" Rocky said. Liberty nodded and left the Lookout to get on her scooter.
"Anyways," Ryder said, "it's getting pretty late. Gibbs, I don't have a pup house for you yet."
"I don't mind sleeping inside the Lookout." Gibbs said.
"No way! I won't let you sleep in here with the parents!" Katie said. Skye then had an idea.
"Ryder," Skye said, "would it be okay if Chase and I share my pup house until Gibbs can get one? That way, Gibbs can sleep in Chase's pup house!"
"That could work," Ryder said, "but are you sure you don't mind it?"
"If it means Gibbs having a place to sleep," Skye said, "I don't mind at all." Ryder then thought about it and looked at Skye's parents.
"Is that okay with you two?" He asked.
"We trust your judgement, Ryder." Linda said. Ryder then thought some more before smiling and nodding.
"Alright. Chase and Skye will share Skye's pup house until Gibbs can get one," Ryder said, "and Gibbs can stay in Chase's pup house in the meantime." Skye yipped excitedly and flipped.
"Thanks, Ryder!" Skye said. Ryder nodded and Chase tensed up as he felt a glare coming from Soaring. Linda slapped Soaring on the chest and shook her head.
"Alright," Katie said, "time for you pups to get to bed!"
"Come on, Chase!" Skye said. Chase nodded and followed Skye to her pup house. The others went to theirs and Gibbs went to Chase's pup house. Ryder and Katie were still in the Lookout, but went to where Ryder slept. Skye's parents, Zuma's dad, and Marshall's dad each went to their own corners and fell asleep.
Location: Adventure Bay, Skye's Pup House
Skye was holding Chase close and smiled as she was getting comfortable. Chase cautiously held Skye close, before getting comfortable himself. Skye then gave a friendly nuzzle to Chase before yawning.
"Good night, Chase." She said. Chase smiled and yawned.
