Location: Jake's Mountain, Abandoned Cave

Gibbs woke up and stretched before starting his morning routine. He had to change some stuff in it, but he still managed to complete it. After finishing, he looked and saw Ryder with Olivia and Katie.

'Time to face the music.' He thought. He then approached them and Olivia gave a soft smile.

"Glad to see you're still in good spirits." She said.

"Cut the crap. I know you're gonna give me a psych eval." Gibbs said. Katie looked at Ryder with a look that said "I told you so!" written all over it.

"Talk about blunt." Ryder said.

"I already know I won't be able to go on missions or calls because of yesterday," Gibbs said, "so don't try and sugar coat it. I know my PTSD is bad. It's only going to get worse."

"Are you sure?" Ryder asked.

"The nightmares haven't stopped, Ryder." Gibbs said.

"They've gotten worse." Olivia surmised.

"It's only a matter of time before I have a blackout and hurt others." Gibbs said.

"What are you saying?" Ryder asked. Gibbs took his pup tag off and gave it to Ryder.

"I'm taking a leave of absence from the PAW Patrol until I can get my PTSD under control without the use of narcotics," Gibbs said, "and without the use of a hypnotist or whatever you guys have planned. Effective immediately." Gibbs then walked off and left Olivia, Ryder, and Katie shocked.

"Gibbs!" Ryder said.

"Gibbs, wait!" Katie said.

"We can talk about this! Just stop!" Olivia said.

"The time for talk is over!" Gibbs said. Before they had a chance to talk again, Gibbs had ran off.


Location: Lookout, Training Area

Chase and the others were going through some heavy training, stopping when a buzzer sounded. They all panted and sighed as they started to rehydrate. Chase looked around and never saw Gibbs.

"They're not back with him yet?" He asked.

"Guess not." Rocky said.

"This is Gibbs we're talking about! He'll be fine!" Rubble said. Chase looked towards Jake's Mountain in worry.

"I'm not so sure. His PTSD is getting worse by the minute. I'm worried." Chase said. Skye went to Chase and gently nuzzled him.

"It'll be okay. We have to be there to support him." She said. Dwayne, Smolder, Soaring, and Linda then approached and smiled.

"Finished with training?" Soaring asked.

"Yes, sir!" Sweetie and Arrby said.

"Guess they're more military than I'd believed." Dwayne said.

"Guess so." Soaring said.

"Where's Gibbs? Isn't he back yet?" Smolder asked. Chase shook his head no.

"It's his PTSD, isn't it?" Linda asked. Chase nodded.

"He probably thinks he's close to a blackout. He needs to treat his PTSD." Soaring said.

"PTSD is no joke. He'll probably take a leave of absence so he can control it himself." Dwayne said.

"If he does that," Rocky said, "he'll succumb to the madness and go berserk!" Ryder and Katie then came back with Olivia, but not Gibbs. Chase's eyes widened in fear.

"He didn't." Chase said. Ryder got off his ATV and Gibbs' pup tag fell out of his pocket. Ryder quickly picked it up, but not fast enough. Skye gasped looked towards Jake's Mountain.

"He did." Skye said. Chase ran into the Lookout and went to the top. He activated the periscope and looked around.

'Where are you, Gibbs?' Chase thought. He then spotted Gibbs going into a cave before stopping and looking at the periscope. Gibbs then gave paw signs.

"Don't… try… to… follow… me… in. It's… too… dangerous… for… all… members. I… must… do… this… alone. Had… to… take… leave… of… absence… to… complete… challenge. Have… Ryder… get… me… from… Chalet… in… seven… hours. Stay… out… of… forest… and… keep… on… alert… for… EZIC… and… their… associates. Stay… safe… and… vigilant." Chase translated. Gibbs then held a paw to his heart before lowering his head. He then ran into the cave and Chase looked worried.

'What are you trying to protect us from?' He thought.


Location: Jake's Mountain, Cave Depths

Gibbs was looking around, keeping his guard up before seeing a dim light. He walked to it and it got brighter. He then gasped in shock as he saw a piece of a meteorite .

'This looks like it came from the meteor that gave Chase and the others their Mighty Powers.' Gibbs thought. He saw several other pieces scattered around before a huge torch was lit and illuminated the area. Gibbs stood on alert, ready to attack. He looked around before seeing some markings on the cave wall. Gibbs looked at them and saw a pattern.

"This looks like the story of an ancient warrior." Gibbs said. He looked and saw it was all in Japanese.

'These look like they could be dozens of years old.' He thought. He then saw pictures above the markings and gasped.

"It's not a story, it's a ritual!" Gibbs said. He looked at the inscriptions before glaring behind.

'Someone followed me?!' He thought.

"WHO'S THERE?!" Gibbs yelled. A young pup peeked out from behind a rock and Gibbs gasped.

'They look about a few weeks old!' He thought.

"It's okay. I won't hurt you." Gibbs said. The pup walked over and Gibbs glared to his left.

'That murderous intent.' Gibbs thought. He grabbed the pup in his maw and ran. He dodged obstacles before landing in a well lit area. He set the pup down and started sensing the area. The pup merely looked at Gibbs in amazement. Gibbs then looked around and saw more pictures before gasping. The pup was stunned as Gibbs wiped dirt off a wall. Gibbs recognized it as the kanji for "Jutsu" and looked next to it. He looked above and saw the kanji for "Fire" and realized what was needed.

"A fire style jutsu. I don't know any," Gibbs said, "or even what that is. I'll probably find out though."

"Fire Style:…." A voice said. Gibbs went on alert and grabbed the pup in his maw.

'Not good!' Gibbs thought.

"FIREBALL JUTSU!" The voice yelled. Gibbs then dodged a large fireball and glared.

'Damn, that was close.' He thought. Gibbs then set the pup down and saw an English Bulldog wearing a ballistic vest.

"Kane." Gibbs said.

"Been awhile, Gibbs. You still crazy?" Kane asked.

"I'm not the one who's working for criminals." Gibbs said.

"What? You mean EZIC?" Kane asked.

"Who else? The 31st Airborne?" Gibbs countered.

"Touché. Regardless," Kane said, "I took your advice and got out. Turns out you were right. They gave me my old position back in the Army."

"Then why are you here?" Gibbs asked.

"Because I heard you joined the PAW Patrol," Kane said, "gave EZIC a piece of humble pie, then took a leave of absence after a plane crashed. What was THAT about?!"

"I have PTSD, Kane!" Gibbs said. Kane looked shocked.

"What?" Kane asked.

"It's bad. Real bad. I…. I keep getting nightmares. From when I was in EZIC," Gibbs said, "in the Navy, from when I was little! I even get flashbacks from my parents' funeral! The nightmares are only getting worse! I need to get my PTSD under control before I have a blackout and seriously hurt myself, others, or worse!" Kane went to Gibbs and saw the pup.

"Who's the little one?" He asked.

"I don't know. I found them in the previous area." Gibbs said.

"Then you felt that murderous intent, too." Kane said.

"I thought it came from you." Gibbs said.

"Does it feel like I have murderous intent right now?" Kane asked.

"I'm sensing more concern." Gibbs said.

"Because I was concerned for you. That murderous intent was so strong it covered up my concern." Kane said.

"Of course. My PTSD is so bad that I can't even sense EMOTIONS right!" Gibbs said. He then punched the cave wall and it fell down, revealing a hidden area.

"Sweet Mother of Christ." Kane said. Gibbs looked and gasped. He started having flashbacks to when he was in EZIC and started to panic.

'No. No, no, no, NO!' Gibbs thought.

"Gibbs? You good?" Kane asked. The pup whined and Gibbs looked, seeing the bodies of the pup's family. Gibbs had another flashback and backed away.

"This can't be happening! This can NOT be happening!" Gibbs said. Kane looked where Gibbs was backing up to and gasped.

"Gibbs, look out!" He said. Gibbs looked behind him and gasped as he saw the trench he almost fell in. Kane ran to Gibbs and pulled him away.

"I'm going crazy." Gibbs said.

"No," Kane said, "you're not. It's a side effect of that serum they gave you! That serum had a strong and potent neurological agent inside it, it's causing your brain to play tricks on you! You need the antidote!"

"There ISN'T an antidote!" Gibbs said.

"I helped make one!" Kane said. That caused Gibbs to look shocked.

"What?" Gibbs asked.

"I helped make an antidote because of the serum they injected within ME! They reverse engineered the serum and made an antidote! They gave it to me! That serum will eat away at your brain until you become nothing but a vegetable!" Kane said.

"Why wasn't I told of this?" Gibbs asked.

"Because they didn't know you had been injected with it until the FBI gave them a list." Kane said.

"So they sent you." Gibbs said.

"They never sent me! I volunteered!" Kane said. Gibbs then glared behind the pup and charged, taking an arrow in his shoulder. Kane gasped and Gibbs winced.

'Where did it come from?' Gibbs thought. Kane ran over and looked around.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"I got an arrow in my shoulder! How would you feel?!" Gibbs asked. Kane looked at the wound before glaring.

"You're gonna be fine. Arrow didn't hit any bones, veins, or arteries. You're not likely." Kane said.

"Then why the glare?" Gibbs asked.

"Because someone wants that pup dead." Kane said. Gibbs tried to move, but Kane stopped him. However, Gibbs felt the intent again and looked beside him, seeing a face he never hoped to see again.

"Hemlock." Gibbs seethed.

"You never should have told those lies." Hemlock said. He aimed an arrow at the pup again and Gibbs took the arrow and Kane gasped.

"GIBBS!" He yelled. The impact of the arrow was so strong it sent Gibbs into the trench. Kane charged Hemlock and knocked him out before subduing him.

'Son of a bitch!' Gibbs thought. Kane ran to the edge of the trench and looked over.

"Gibbs?! You okay?!" He asked.

"I can't move! What about the pup?!" Gibbs asked. Kane looked and saw the pup with its family, softly whining.

"It's uninjured physically! It'll have some emotional trauma!" Kane said.

"Thank God. See if you can get me out of here!" Gibbs said. Kane looked around, trying to find something to help Gibbs out.

"Tch! There's nothing!" Kane said.

"Only one thing left to do then!" Gibbs said. Kane gave a nod before pressing a button on his vest.


Location: Lookout Tower, Top Floor

Ryder was relaxing with Katie when his pup pad started ringing. He grabbed his pup pad and answered the call.

"Hello? Ryder here." He said.

"Ryder," a voice said, "my name is Kane. I'm a Master Sergeant in the United States Army, Special Forces. You have a Pup down!"

"What?!" Ryder asked.

"Who is it?!" Katie asked.

"Gibbs. He was injured protecting a pup from an EZIC operative named Hemlock! He was shot twice with arrows," Kane said, "and was sent into a trench! Arrows hit no bones, veins, or arteries! He's not likely, but in bad shape!" Kane switched his camera angle to show Gibbs. Gibbs looked at the camera and winced in pain. Katie gasped and Ryder looked serious.

"Where are you?!" He asked.

"My GPS location is being sent to you now! Please hurry! His injuries might not be life threatening," Kane said, "but there's a chance he'll go into shock! He needs IMMEDIATE medical attention! He needs it fast!"

"We're on our way! No job is too big, no pup is too small!" Ryder said. Katie then used her smartwatch to call the others.

"PAW Patrol," she said, "to the Lookout!"


Location: Adventure Bay, City Hall

Sweetie, Chase, and Arrby were looking at different files.

"How is this supposed to help Gibbs' PTSD again?" Arrby asked.

"If we look at his past events," Chase said, "and analyze each one, we should be able to find what triggers Gibbs' PTSD flashbacks."

"So by looking at his past," Sweetie said, "we can pinpoint the times he had PTSD flashbacks and help him talk about what he'd seen!"

"Exactly!" Chase said.

"I see now!" Arrby said. Their pup tags then blinked twice before lighting up.

"PAW Patrol," Katie said, "to the Lookout!"

"Ryder and Katie need us!" The three said. They ran out of City Hall, putting the files back, and joined the others. As they got inside, and into position, Marshall was running in.

"Wait for me!" Marshall said. He soon tripped on a pillow and flew in.

"Look out!" Sweetie said.

"Incoming!" Arrby said. Marshall then landed on the glass before falling backwards, hitting the floor.

"I'm okay." Marshall said, practically groaning. The elevator doors then closed and the elevator rose up. As this happened, Marshall stayed still as the others were looking at him. The elevator then went behind the PAW Patrol logo, the logo lighting up for a few seconds. Afterwards, the pups appeared in their gear and in a formation and the elevator stopped at the top floor. The pups then got out and stayed in formation.

"PAW Patrol," Chase said, "ready for action, Ryder, sir!" Ryder pressed a button and the briefing screen came down.

"Thanks for the quick response, pups. This one is a pretty dangerous rescue." Ryder said, starting the briefing sequence.

"Gibbs was inside of this cave on Jake's Mountain," Katie said, "but while he was in there, he encountered an EZIC operative named Hemlock."

"Oh, no!" Sweetie said.

"Is he okay?!" Chase asked, worried.

"For the moment," Ryder said, "but that could change. Gibbs was hurt by Hemlock protecting a pup that was found in the cave. Hemlock shot two arrows into Gibbs, and sent him into a trench."

"WHAT?!" Marshall and Chase asked.

"The arrows missed any vital parts of his body," Katie said, "and his fall didn't look so deep. However, there's still a chance he could go into shock."

"Gibbs is one of our own. Leave of absence or not," Ryder said, "Gibbs is a part of the PAW Patrol! Therefore, this is all paws on deck!" Chase and the others stood up and gave serious looks. Ryder and Katie looked at each other before nodding and looking at the pups.

"PAW Patrol is on a roll!" They all said. They all then went their separate directions and met back up as they headed to Jake's Mountain.


Location: Jake's Mountain, Cave Depths

Kane was keeping the pup calm as his ears perked up.

"Sounds like they're outside." Kane said.

"It could be a trap." Gibbs said.

"I'm not taking that risk." Kane said. He then held a knife and hid behind a corner. Steps were then heard, causing Kane and Gibbs to go on alert.

"GIBBS! WHERE ARE YOU?!" A voice yelled. Gibbs recognized it and Kane peeked around a corner.

"CHASE?! IS THAT YOU?!" Gibbs yelled.

"WE'RE ALL HERE, GIBBS! JUST TELL US WHERE YOU ARE!" Another voice said.

"SWEETIE?!" Gibbs asked. Kane looked at Gibbs before giving the sign for friendlies. Gibbs nodded and Kane hid again.

"RYDER," he yelled, "IT'S MASTER SERGEANT KANE! MY GPS POSITION IS ON YOUR PUP PAD! WALK TOWARDS MY POSITION SLOWLY! THE REST FOLLOW BEHIND SINGLE FILE!"

"We understand!" Ryder said. Kane peeked out from his spot and saw a line approaching. Ryder then held up his pup pad to prove his identity. Kane revealed himself and looked around.

"Were you followed?" He asked.

"No tails other than on our bodies." Marshall said. The others giggled a bit and Kane led them to the trench. Chase looked down and gasped.

"Gibbs!" He said.

"Hey, little bro." Gibbs said. The others looked over and gasped.

"Oh my God!" Katie said.

"Hemlock did that?!" Rocky asked. Skye got angry and looked at Kane.

"Where is that son of a bitch?!" She asked. The others looked at Skye in shock and Chase went to her.

"Just calm down, Skye. Kane probably already knocked him out and subdued him." He said. Kane nodded.

"He's been secured. I'll watch Hemlock," Kane said, "you just focus on getting Gibbs out of there in one piece." Skye looked back at the trench before looking around.

"There's nothing around here we can use to make a pulley system." Skye said.

"We can't bring in our vehicles either." Chase said. Skye then looked and saw the room with the bodies.

"What happened here?! Did Gibbs do this?!" She asked. The others looked and gasped.

"Gibbs and I found this room. They were already dead when we saw them." Kane said. Skye then saw something and ran inside the room.

"I think there's something we can use here!" She said. Chase ran after her and helped. They then discovered a winch motor.

"There's a winch in here! Looks like it still works!" Chase said. Rocky then ran in and looked it over.

"It does still work! We can use this to get Gibbs out!" He said. The others went in and Marshall went to the bodies.

"Looks like they've been here for awhile." He said. Katie went to Marshall and knelt down before seeing something on them.

"What the?" She asked. She went to grab it, but Marshall went on alert and stopped her before looking at the others.

"NO ONE MOVE! THERE'S A BOMB!" Marshall said. The others gasped and Katie backed away slowly. Chase then walked over before stopping and seeing a tripwire. He followed it and saw a bomb connected to it. He saw some wire cutters and cut the tripwire before disarming the bomb.

"When did you learn to disarm bombs?" Ryder asked.

"I read up on it. I also read up on handling explosives and which ones worked best for which situations." Chase said.

"In case you got the SWAT gear." Skye said, piecing it together.

"Precisely." Chase said. Kane walked over and disarmed the rest of the bombs before going to Katie and pulling out an arrow from one of the bodies. Skye recognized it and glared. She then saw the silhouette of a pup running towards Kane and charged, tackling the pup down. Kane looked and saw it was Hemlock.

"You BASTARD!" Skye said. Hemlock then broke free of the restraints, but Skye punched Hemlock in the throat. Hemlock gasped and held his throat for air. Skye got off and Hemlock looked at her.

"You… bitch!" He said. He then charged at her, but Skye stopped him and held him in a hold to where she could snap his neck.

"What was EZIC using this room for? ANSWER ME!" Skye spoke. Hemlock was struggling to break free before looking at Skye.

"Go to Hell." He said. That was a mistake. Skye gave a single glare and said two words.

"You first." She said. Before anyone could stop her, Skye broke Hemlock's neck in a single motion, the snap echoing in everyone's minds. She then looked around and saw a gurney. Next to it were some vials. She gave a single glare before feeling a paw on her shoulder.

"Skye," Chase said, "are you okay?"

"This is where Gibbs was injected. This place was EZIC's drug lab!" Skye said. Kane saw the vials and gasped.

"She's right!" Kane said.

"Let's get Gibbs out of there." Marshall said. Rocky then hooked the gurney up to the winch and Ryder nodded.

"I'll go down and get Gibbs on the gurney. Afterwards," Ryder said, "Chase will winch us both up. Once we're both on the ground, Marshall will administer Immediate First Aid to Gibbs and attempt to remove the arrows."

"Got it." Marshall said. Chase nodded and went to the winch. He activated the winch and watched as Ryder took the gurney to the edge of the trench and lowered it down, standing on the edge. The gurney got to the bottom and Gibbs looked at Ryder.

"I tried to prevent something like this." He said.

"Just calm down. We're here for you." Ryder said. He then put Gibbs on the gurney and activated his helmet's mic.

"Bring us up, Chase. Nice and slow." Ryder said. Chase then activated the winch and Gibbs and Ryder were lifted up and brought to the top of the trench. When they got to the top, Marshall ran to the gurney and started administering first aid. Marshall then carefully removed the arrows and the pup walked over. Ryder gasped and the pup went to Gibbs before giving a faint glow.

"Thank you for saving me." The pup said. The pup then merged with Gibbs and a voice spoke.

"You need not worry. EZIC will be stopped. You have completed your challenge, Gibbs. Your mighty power is similar to that of your brother. You will have his speed," the voice spoke, "but you will also have your own. It will be up to you to discover it. Be strong." Kane then looked and saw what was on the wall.

"Fire… Jutsu? What's that all about?" He asked.

"Didn't you use something called 'Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu' before Hemlock showed up?" Gibbs asked.

"No," Kane said, "that wasn't me."

"Then… who was it?" Gibbs asked.

"It was me." A voice said. Gibbs went on alert and Kane stood ready to attack. Someone then stepped out of the shadows and looked at Gibbs. Chase, Sweetie, Arrby, and Skye all stood in front of Gibbs, ready to protect him.

"Who are you?!" Chase asked.

"Who I am is irrelevant. What is relevant is the fact the meteor you and your friends touched gave you powers. Yours have just started developing. You have a special gift. You must unlock it. Your gift is the key to stopping EZIC." The person said.

"How do you know about EZIC?!" Skye asked.

"Unlock your gift, Gibbs." The person said, returning to the shadows. Rocky was confused.

"What was THAT all about?" He asked.

"No clue." Zuma said.


Location: Lookout, Lower Floor

Gibbs was wrapped in a blanket, lying on a pillow in front of the screen. Olivia walked to a different part and looked at Ryder as he knelt down.

"Well?" Ryder asked.

"He seems to be doing fine. If he has a nightmare," Olivia said, "or starts to have one, wake him immediately. Have him talk about it to you, and keep him calm." Ryder nodded and Olivia walked off. Dwayne and Soaring stood in front of Gibbs before lying next to him and falling asleep. Gibbs then fell asleep and Ryder watched for any signs of him having a nightmare.

[Meanwhile….]

Location: Abandoned Warehouse, [REDACTED]

A man punched a desk as he looked at a newspaper headline.

"DAMN IT ALL!!!!" He said. Someone else looked and his eyes went wide.

"PAW Patrol Uncovers World Domination Plot, Reveals True Intentions of EZIC?!" They asked.

"That damn Gibbs! I TOLD THEM HE POSED A THREAT!!!!" The first man said.

"This details our ENTIRE plan! Even the part about us forcing the boys into our training program, imprisoning the men, and making the girls and women our own personal-." The second one said.

"SHUT UP YOU IDIOT!!!!" The first man yelled, punching the second one. The second man was sent into the wall and fell down on top of a pile of bodies.

'The time has come for me to act.' The first man thought. He then went to a closet and opened it, revealing a full suit of body armor and several weapons.

"Gibbs will die before his brother experiences his first mate." The man said.


Location: Adventure Bay, Mr. Porter's Store

Chase and Skye were sitting outside at a table and Alex brought them some fresh meatballs.

"You know you need to talk to me about it." Chase said.

"About what?" Skye asked.

"Taking your first life." Chase answered. Skye was stunned, but understood.

"Nothing much to say. You saw what happened." Skye said.

"Skye," Chase said, "this is serious! I've NEVER seen you act that way!"

"HE HURT OUR BROTHER!!!!" Skye screamed. Chase was taken aback.

'What did she just say?' Chase thought. Skye then looked down and sniffled.

"Sorry." She said.

"Don't be." Chase said.

"Why?" Skye asked.

"Because you called Gibbs your brother. You can't stand the thought of him being seriously hurt." Chase said.

"No," Skye said, "I can't. He… sniffle is the only other family I have. Other than my parents, you and Gibbs are all I have. I can't lose either of you!"

"You won't." Chase said. He then got up from his seat and went to Skye, giving her a hug. Skye hugged back and started breaking down.

"I just snapped! I… I couldn't stand seeing him like that! I wanted him to pay!" Skye said.

"Your actions were justified." Chase said.

"How does Gibbs do it?! How does he cope?! How has he not gone crazy yet?!" Skye said.

"It's okay, Skye. Just let it out." Chase said. Skye started shedding tears and Chase rubbed Skye's back.

"I'm sorry you had to see it, Chase! I'm so sorry!" Skye said, tears falling down her face.

"It's okay. It's okay." Chase said. Skye just kept crying as Chase was helping her stay calm. Skye then looked at Chase and put her head on his.

"I love you so much, Chase. Sniffles I really mean that!" She said.

"I love you, too, Skye." Chase said. He then kissed Skye's head as she dried her tears.

"I'm surprised you haven't tried anything." Skye said. Chase smiled and looked into Skye's eyes.

"Because I know better. I won't do anything you aren't comfortable with." Chase said. Skye smiled and nuzzled Chase's cheek.

"I'll tell you when I'm ready." She whispered. Chase blushed slightly but regained his composure.

"We should eat." He said. Skye nodded and the two started eating.


Location: Jake's Mountain, Chalet

Everest and Marshall were doing some Tai Chi as Jake approached and put some food down for them. He smiled before turning and leaving. The two finished and simultaneously took in a deep breath before releasing it. Marshall smiled and looked at Everest.

"You're getting better at it! Pretty soon," Marshall said, "you might be able to start your Pup Fu training. Given Jake agrees to it, of course."

"I hope he does. I think it would really help out in the long run." Everest said. The two then went to their food and started eating. As they ate, they both had the same thought run through their minds.

'I hope Gibbs is going to be okay.' They thought. Jake then rejoined them and set down some water for them.

"You'll need the energy. I say we turn it in after you eat." Jake said. Everest looked at Jake and nodded.

"Okay, Jake!" Everest said.

"I'll head back after we finish eating." Marshall said.

"No chance, Marshall. It's late. You're staying here tonight. I'll let Ryder know." Jake said.

"Okay." Marshall said. Everest then smiled and the two continued eating.


Location: Lookout Tower, Bottom Floor

Gibbs was still sleeping soundly, having Dwayne and Soaring next to him. As they all slept, Ryder was monitoring Gibbs' sleep pattern. As Ryder looked, he noticed a spike in his brainwaves.

'Huh? Is he about to have a nightmare?!' Ryder thought. Gibbs then moved a bit and Ryder looked worried.

"Stay away from my family." Gibbs mumbled.

'He IS having one!' Ryder thought. Gibbs then moved more before his eyes scrunched.

"Unlock your gift, Gibbs." A voice said. Several flashbacks then occurred before Gibbs' eyes shot open and he gasped. Dwayne and Soaring looked at him and Ryder ran over.

"Are you okay?" Soaring asked. Gibbs started panting heavily and looked at Ryder.

"I think I know what my gift is." He said.

[Moments later….]

Everyone was gathered in front of Gibbs and he looked at them.

"I wanted to thank you for what you did for me," Gibbs spoke, "but I can't return just yet. The meteorite shards that I touched seemed to awaken something within me. I can't explain it, but…. I think it has something to do with my drive to protect others."

"We all have that drive." Rubble said.

"It's stronger in Gibbs because of his military background." Ryder said.

'Wait,' Chase thought, 'could it be?!' A message then came in on Chase's watch and he looked at it before gasping.

"THAT'S IT!!!!" He said.

"Huh?" Zuma asked.

"What's what?" Rocky asked.

"Is there something you want to tell us Chase?" Ryder asked.

"I had the FBI look into the EZIC attacks again," Chase said, "and coincide them with the dates of cases Gibbs worked or was overseas. They got back to me and the result was shocking! Over 90% of the attacks happened when Gibbs was in the Navy! When he joined EZIC, the remaining 10% of attacks had happened without Gibbs knowing! After he left, they started causing the things that led up to Gibbs' PTSD getting worse! They forwarded everything to the other agencies and NCIS had confirmed it all! I just got a message from Agent Reid saying that the Army Medical Corps reverse engineered the serum Gibbs' was injected with and formulated an antidote! They said it would help control Gibbs' PTSD!"

"Where's the nearest Army base?" Gibbs asked.

"They're coming to us!" Chase said. Kane then ran in and panted heavily.

"Kane? Are you okay?" Gibbs asked.

"Gibbs! pant cough hack cough We have to hide you!" He said.

"What?!" Chase asked.

"Why?!" Skye asked.

"We just got word that one of EZIC's top soldiers is coming after you!" Kane said. Gibbs gasped.

"Don't tell me." Gibbs said. Kane gave a look and nodded.

"It's their Director of Personnel." Kane said. Thunder had rumbled.

"What? I thought he was imprisoned!" Gibbs said.

"They have a new one. Your old EZIC CO." Kane said.

"They promoted Psycho Steve?!" Gibbs asked.

"We just got word of it." Kane said.

"DAMN IT!!!!" Gibbs yelled. Lightning then struck and a silhouette appeared. Gibbs looked and glared intensely. They all looked and gasped. Kane, Soaring, and Dwayne all stood defensively and the silhouette laughed.

"I told you not to let your guard down." The person said.

"Psycho Steve." Gibbs said. Unbeknownst to him, a faint aura started to envelop him.

"Is that any way to greet your old CO?" Steve asked.

"You won't win, Steve! Just surrender!" Kane said. Skye pressed a silent distress signal on her watch without Steve noticing and informed the other agencies that Steve was at the Lookout.

"You never should have left, Gibbs. We could have ruled the world together!" Steve said.

"Why would I want to live in a world where the men are imprisoned and the women are nothing but sex slaves? Not even the CHILDREN would be spared!" Gibbs said.

"We told you that in confidence. CLICK Now I have authorization." Steve said.

'Not good!' Gibbs thought. Time then slowed to a stop and Gibbs looked around.

"What the?!" He asked. A light then appeared before him and he shielded his eyes. The light dimmed a bit and he saw someone he never expected.

"I'm sorry we hid this gift from you." A voice said.

"M-Mark?!" Gibbs asked.

"Gibbs," Mark said, "deep within you there's a power. One that you haven't been able to call upon. Kane has the antidote. That should unlock your power."

"What is my power?" Gibbs asked.

"You'll know soon enough." Mark said.

"Why are you telling me this?" Gibbs asked.

"Because you helped me see the error of my ways. After you left," Mark said, "they had killed me. You need to stop EZIC, Gibbs. You have a heart of gold, and a pure soul." Time then resumed and Steve grinned evilly.

"Hehehehe!" He laughed, drawing a knife.

"Kane," Gibbs said, "you have the antidote, don't you?"

"They told me to give it to you." Kane said.

"Give it here." Gibbs said. Kane tossed a syringe to Gibbs, but Ryder caught it and injected the antidote in Gibbs. Steve looked shocked as Gibbs closed his eyes and concentrated.

"What did you just give him?" He asked. Kane grinned and looked at Ryder, nodding. Ryder looked at Steve with full seriousness.

"The antidote to the Serum of Overwhelming Power." He said.

"What?!" Steve asked. The aura then completely enveloped Gibbs and Steve was shocked.

[Cue 'Golden Wind' from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure]

Gibbs slowly opened his eyes and looked at Steve before getting into a charging position.

"You're kidding. You're kidding, right?" Steve asked. Gibbs didn't say a word.

'This is my power.' Gibbs thought. Steve started laughing hysterically.

"You seriously think you can best me?! I'm the one who taught you that move! How could you possibly think you could beat me with tha-?" Steve asked, stopping when Gibbs disappeared from his sight and reappeared behind him, going for a kick.

'He got faster!' Steve thought. The kick then connected and Steve was sent flying back. Gibbs disappeared from sight again and struck Steve to where he landed in the bay. Steve's impact caused a loud boom that shook Adventure Bay.

"Whoa!" Sweetie exclaimed.

"Holy Mother of Christ!" The Earl spoke.

"Wait," Katie said, "when did YOU get here?!"

"Just now." The Earl said. The Princess then ran to Sweetie and hugged her.

"Thank goodness you're alright!" She said.

"Of course I am! I'm your pup, after all!" Sweetie said.

"Wait," Arrby said, "where's Gibbs?!" A loud boom resonated from the beach and sand and water flew up.

"Found him." Marshall said.

"Let's go!" Chase said.

"Wait," Olivia said, "I think we should sit this one out!" Another boom resonated and Steve was seen flying through the air before Gibbs appeared behind him and kicked him into a bolt of lightning that was about to strike the bay.

"GEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Steve yelled.

"Ooh!" The others said, wincing.

"That's gotta hurt." Everest said. Steve then landed on the ground, back first, and coughed up blood. Gibbs then landed on his feet as Steve started getting back up.

"Those were lucky." Steve said.

"Why don't you test yours?" Gibbs asked. Steve went to draw a pistol, but Gibbs had sent him towards Chase and Skye. The two saw what he was doing and grinned before charging, jumping, and kicking Steve in the kidneys.

"GAK!" He screamed, being sent back towards Gibbs. Gibbs reared a punch back and connected with Steve's gut.

'This is the power I got from the meteorite.' Gibbs thought. The aura then grew and Steve looked fearful.

"No!" He said. Gibbs glared and removed his fist from Steve's gut before giving an uppercut and sending Steve into the air.

"Whoa!" Katie said.

"What an uppercut!" Rocky said. Marshall recognized it and stepped forward.

"That was the Shoryuken from the Street Fighter series of games." He said.

"Huh?" Zuma asked.

'That type of strike takes a long time to master,' Marshall thought, 'but he managed to do it flawlessly. Was it because of the martial arts he underwent?' Steve was about to draw another weapon, but Gibbs struck a nerve in his body that disabled his hands from grabbing anything before putting Steve's head between his hind legs and landing, causing Steve's head to hit the ground.

"Ooh!" Rocky said, wincing.

"He's gonna feel that one." Sweetie said. Arrby then stepped up, stunned.

"That was a Tombstone Piledriver." He said. Olivia gasped and looked at Arrby.

"Isn't that a wrestling move?!" She asked. Steve then glared and sent Gibbs towards the cliff, but he managed to land before reaching the edge.

"How? How?! HOW ARE YOU THIS STRONG?!?!" Steve asked.

"I trained all day yesterday." Gibbs said.

"Oh," Steve said, "you think you're cute?!"

"Bitch, I'm adorable!" Gibbs said.

"Fat chance!" Steve said. He then charged and reared a fist back.

"Yeah," Gibbs said, "for you!" The aura grew more and Gibbs disappeared before reappearing and kicking Steve in the throat.

"You little!" Steve said. Gibbs had disappeared again before reappearing and striking Steve in the spine.

'What the?!' Steve thought. He went to attack, but Gibbs disappeared again before reappearing below Steve and sending him flying into the air. Marshall gasped as he looked on.

'That move is!' He thought. Gibbs disappeared from the ground and appeared behind Steve, grabbing him and spinning with him. The golden aura started turning silver and gold with each rotation.

"OMOTE RENGE!!!!" Gibbs said. Marshall gasped and watched as Steve's head got buried into the ground as Gibbs jumped off and landed in front of him, striking his solar plexus.

'That was from the Naruto series! Just how fluent in martial arts IS he?!' Marshall thought. Steve then got his head out of the ground and shook the dirt off.

'This guy must have been training for years! How come he never used these moved when he was in EZIC?!' Steve thought.

"Will you surrender now?" Gibbs asked.

'Unless,' Steve thought, 'maybe he was being limited. What could have been limiting him?' Steve got to his feet and looked at Gibbs.

"You weren't this strong in EZIC. You had a limiter! What was it?!" Steve asked.

"You should have figured it out by now." Gibbs said.

'What?' Steve thought.

"JUST TELL ME!!!!" Steve yelled, charging. Gibbs kicked Steve back and sent him into the air again.

'You know the answer,' Gibbs thought, his right paw glowing with the aura, 'you just refuse to believe it!' Steve was stunned and tried to draw a weapon, but couldn't.

'Shit! I still have no grip!' He thought.

"You refused to surrender." Gibbs said.

'Oh, no!' Steve thought. Gibbs then looked at Steve with a glare, his eyes solid blue.

"Now you'll pay!" Gibbs said. The aura formed under Gibbs and he jumped up, shooting into the air.

"No, no, no, no, NO, NOOOOOOO!!!!" Steve yelled.

"SEIGI NO KEN!!!!" Gibbs yelled. He then struck Steve in his chest.

"GWOGH!" Steve exclaimed, coughing up blood. Steve started falling to the ground and Gibbs glared. The aura then manifested itself before swirling around Gibbs as Steve hit the ground hard. Ryder and the others looked and gasped when they saw the aura swirling.

"No way!" Ryder said.

"He's discovering his Mighty Power!" Chase exclaimed. Gibbs looked serious before saying three words.

"UNLEASH THE POWER!!!!" Gibbs yelled. The aura then enveloped him and he landed before charging at a fast pace towards Steven. Steven tried to run, but Gibbs was faster and kicked him in the groin.

"Ooooooohhhhhhh!" The boys all said, protecting their groin areas.

"Is he okay?" Skye asked.

"He… he kicked me in the dick. Why? Why did he kick me in the dick?!" Steven asked.

'Okay, Vegeta.' Rocky thought. Steven glared at Gibbs but froze as he saw Gibbs controlling the lightning.

"Will you surrender now?" Gibbs asked. Steven shook in fear and put his hands up before going on his stomach. Gibbs then sent the lightning away and it struck a tree. Gibbs then glared and the tree exploded.

['Golden Wind' ends]

Several vehicles then pulled up and agents from the FBI and NCIS ran to Steve as the storm that brewed dissipated.

"We'll take it from here!" An agent said. Gibbs then turned away as Steve realized it.

"It was the Serum, wasn't it?" He asked.

"Bingo." Gibbs said. Steve was lifted up and winced.

"Watch it! I need an ambulance!" Steve said. Marshall then ran inside for a few seconds before running back out in his EMT gear.

"I'll check him." Marshall said.

[A few moments later….]

Marshall put his X-Ray screen away and looked at the agents.

"He has a few cracked ribs," Marshall said, "a crack in his skull, and possible internal bleeding. I recommend taking him to a hospital to be cleared by a physician."

"We will." Agent Reid said. They then took Steve away and drove off. Gibbs sighed and collapsed from exhaustion.

"Now I can sleep easy." Gibbs said. Ryder giggled before going to Gibbs and kneeling down, putting his pup tag back on him.

"Welcome back, Gibbs." Ryder said.

"Good to be back." Gibbs said.

"I think I know what your Mighty Power is." Marshall said.

"If you're gonna say 'Lightning Manipulation,' don't. That's not it." Gibbs said.

"That's not what I was going to say." Marshall said.

"Then what do you think it is?" Gibbs asked. Marshall simply smiled before channeling his Mighty Power.

"Try to channel it. Channel your power." Marshall said. Gibbs closed his eyes and concentrated before feeling his power get channeled.

'This is my power. What does it do?' Gibbs thought.

"Okay," Marshall said, "now try to unleash it." Gibbs concentrated further until he felt his power reach his paws and eyes. His eyes then shot open and he bolted towards Lookout before kicking a large branch over the cliff.

"Amazing! He has super speed AND super strength!" Rubble said. Marshall shook his head.

"No," Marshall spoke, "that's not it. His eyes went to a solid blue when his power was channeled. He has a unique Mighty Power."

"What do you mean?" Skye asked.

"He has Chase's speed and Rubble's strength," Marshall said, "but his power is in the eyes."

"In my eyes?" Gibbs asked.

"Your knowledge of martial arts is vast," Marshall said, "and your drive to protect others is even more. Your Mighty Power… is Super Copying." Gibbs' jaw dropped and the others were confused.

"Huh?" Rocky asked.

"Super Copying?" Rubble asked.

"That sounds lame." Zuma said. Gibbs then glared to the left and felt his right paw heat up before extending it, burning a ball of yarn. The others were stunned and Gibbs was shocked.

"His power is the ability to COPY other powers! That's how he was able to do the 'Shoryuken' from Street Fighter and the 'Omote Renge,' also called the 'Primary Lotus' in English, from the Naruto series." Marshall said. Katie snapped her fingers in realization.

"I get it! It's like he has the Sharingan from the Naruto series!" She said.

"Exactly!" Marshall said. Gibbs only had two words to say at that point.

"Holy shit." Gibbs spoke.

[Moments later….]

Location: Lookout Tower, Bottom Floor

Gibbs was relaxing as Katie was brushing his fur.

"There we are! All done!" Katie said. Gibbs sighed in relaxation before looking at the others.

"I hope I never have to use that power for a LONG time." Gibbs said.

"I hear ya." Rocky said.

"Looks like we have a reason to celebrate." Skye said.

"Maybe tomorrow. I think we all need some sleep." Gibbs said.

"I agree." Chase said. The others soon nodded and started to leave. However, Ryder had turned the lights off and the pups looked at him.

"There's something you guys need to see." Ryder said.

"Huh?" Rubble asked. They all looked at Ryder who motioned to the screen. He pressed a button and an episode of Apollo the Super Pup started playing.

"It's time for another adventure with Apollo the Super Pup!" The announcer said.

"Sweet!" Rubble said, going to a seat and getting comfortable. The others followed suit and Gibbs merely stayed in the corner.

"On this special episode of Apollo the Super Pup," the announcer said, "a mysterious group is looking to cause trouble." That caught Gibbs' attention and caused him to look. They all watched as Apollo flew down and landed in front of a large building.

'That looks like City Hall.' Gibbs thought.

"Seems like everything is normal for the moment." Apollo spoke.

"You said it, Apollo!" A female voice said. Chase and Skye gasped as they recognized it.

"Allie! How nice to see you!" Apollo said.

"Good to see you, too!" Allie said.

"I haven't seen you since we stopped that double situation!" Apollo said. Allie soon looked away a bit before looking back at Apollo.

"Apollo," she said, "there's something I need to tell you." However, before they could utter another word, a loud explosion occurred and the two gasped. They then heard evil cackling and looked.

"What the?!" Allie asked. They then gasped when they saw a large group of people holding a bunch of pups hostage in a cage.

"Mommy!" One of the pups said.

"Shut up!" One of the people said, hitting the cage. Apollo glared intensely.

"Who are you?!" He asked.

"We are the Antegrians!" The leader said.

'They stole that from Papers, Please!' Gibbs thought.

"You stole that from Papers, Please, you monsters!" Allie said.

'What the Hell?! Get outta my head!' Gibbs thought.

"Looks like I need your help again, Allie." Apollo said.

"Not so fast! Only YOU are to fight us, Apollo. If Allie interferes in any way," the leader said, "we will KILL HER PUPS!!!!" Everyone gasped at that and Gibbs glared.

"You have no soul." Allie said.

"Don't worry, Allie." Apollo said.

"Huh?" Allie asked.

"This guy is going down." Apollo said, having a menacing glare. They all charged and Apollo flew like a bullet and sent all of them into the building behind. The leader started to run, but Apollo struck the leader in the gut before sending the leader into his men with a kick. Rubble watched on in awe as Apollo was standing in front of them.

"How strong are you?" The leader said.

"Strong enough." Apollo said. With a simple slam of his paw, a cage appeared around them. Allie ran to her pups and let them out of the cage.

"Mom!" One of them said. Apollo went to them and looked worried.

"Are you all okay?" He asked.

"We're fine, Apollo! Thanks to you!" Another pup said. Allie looked at Apollo in tears before hugging him.

"Thank you!" She said.

"There's no need." Apollo said. Allie then hugged tighter and Apollo hugged her lightly.

"Once again Apollo saves the day!" The announcer said.

"His own super way!" The pups, sans Gibbs, said. The scene then transitioned back to Apollo and Allie as she broke the hug.

"What did you need to tell me?" Apollo said.

"This is a special reveal," the announcer said, "so we want your guesses! What is Allie about to tell Apollo? Is it: A) She's moving to a different city. B) She's in love with Apollo. C) Apollo is the father of her pups. Make your guesses now by calling the number on your screen with your answer."

"It's C." Gibbs said.

"Huh?" Rocky asked, looking back. Gibbs walked forward and Ryder held the pup pad to Gibbs.

"Gibbs," a voice said, "I'm one of the producers of Apollo the Super Pup. Why are you so certain it's C?"

"It's obvious! They all have his eyes!" Gibbs said. The others looked at the screen before looking at Apollo, then the pups, then back to Apollo, then back to the pups.

"I don't see it." Arrby said.

"Take it from someone who picked up on several profiling tricks. Those pups are Apollo's!" Gibbs said.

"Thanks for your input." The producer said. Ryder then hung up and Gibbs went back to his spot.

"Our results are in! Thank you for voting!" The announcer said. The episode continued with Allie taking a deep breath and releasing it.

"Apollo," she said, looking seriously, "do you remember that night we spent together during that hurricane?"

"Of course I do! What does that have to do with what you have to tell me?" Apollo asked.

"Here it comes." Gibbs said.

"Well…." Allie said.

"Come to think of it," Apollo said, "you never said who the father of your pups was." Allie then put a paw on Apollo's before looking ashamed.

"It's you." Allie said. Apollo looked confused.

"Huh?" He asked. Allie motioned for her pups to line up and Apollo started getting worried.

"There's no easy way to say it," Allie said, "so… I'm just gonna tell it straight."

"Allie," Apollo said, "what are you saying?" Allie looked at Apollo with a mixture of fear and shame.

"Apollo," she said, "my partner in justice, YOU are the father." Rocky gasped and Rubble fainted.

"Gibbs called it!" Skye said.

"I….. I'm the father?" Apollo asked.

"Yes, Apollo. You are the father of my pups." Allie said. The scene paused with Allie about to shed a tear.

"The correct answer was C! Out of all the answers we received," the announcer said, "only ONE had chosen the correct answer! A big congratulations to Gibbs, the PAW Patrol SWAT Pup!"

"Wait," Apollo said, "run that by me again?!"

"Huh?" The announcer asked. The screen then cut to just Apollo and Allie, both being dumbfounded.

"Out of ALL the calls that came in," Apollo said, "the only one who was right was a member of the PAW Patrol?!"

"Their SWAT Pup no less! I didn't know they even HAD a SWAT Pup!" Allie said.

"Get him on the phone!" Apollo said. Ryder got a call on his Pup Pad and answered it.

"Ryder here! Hold for Gibbs!" He said. Gibbs then approached as Ryder faced the pup pad towards him and activated the camera function. Gibbs then appeared on the TV with the others behind him. They all looked at the camera and Rubble had to be held back before he charged Ryder's Pup Pad.

"This is Gibbs." Gibbs said.

"How is it you were the ONLY one to get it right?!" Apollo asked.

"Yeah! What gave it away?!" Allie asked.

"The eyes of the pups." Gibbs said.

"Huh?!" Apollo and Allie asked, confused.

"Put a side by side up. One being Apollo, the other being Allie's pups." Gibbs said. The screen showed the two photos.

"Okay," Apollo said, "I don't see it."

"Zoom in on the eyes for each one." Gibbs said. The screen showed just that and several gasps were heard.

"No way!" A producer said.

"They're the same!" The announcer said. The screen then showed just Apollo and Allie again with Gibbs and the others being on a split screen.

"Unbelievable!" Allie said.

"How did you see such a small detail?" Apollo asked.

"I served in the United States Navy as a Master-at-Arms." Gibbs said. Allie gasped in shock.

"You were a Medal of Honor recipient! Right?" Allie asked, looking at Apollo for confirmation.

"Indeed he was." Apollo said.

"The nature of how I got it is classified," Gibbs said, "but I went through a LOT to get it."

"Just say it. We won't judge you." Allie said.

"Not with the censors active." Gibbs said.

"That's just for within the episode. They're not active here. Go ahead and say it." Apollo said.

"I've been through Hell. I just recently got over PTSD because of what I experienced." Gibbs said.

"How recent?" Allie asked.

"Three hours ago." Gibbs said.

"Say what?!" Allie asked.

"My word!" Apollo said.

"What caused it in the first place?!" Allie asked.

"I can't reveal that. It's still an ongoing investigation." Gibbs said.

"It's EZIC, isn't it?" Apollo asked.

"I can neither confirm nor deny that without the Secretary's approval." Gibbs said.

"Ooh! Nice Mission: Impossible reference!" Allie said. Gibbs grinned.

"I try." Gibbs said.

"Well," Apollo said, "because you were the ONLY one to get it right, I say you deserve a reward!"

"No reward necessary." Gibbs said.

"I won't take 'no' for an answer. Gibbs," Apollo said, "you just gave me an idea for our next episode! This one was our season finale, but you just gave me an idea for our next season premier!"

"You're gonna have me and the rest of the PAW Patrol in the premier for next season, aren't you?" Gibbs asked. Apollo had tensed up before rubbing the back of his neck.

"That obvious, huh?" Apollo asked.

"More than you know." Gibbs said.

"Anyways," Allie said, "thank you for watching our season finale!"

"Thank you for making it!" Gibbs said.


Location: Lookout, Chase's Pup House

Chase was relaxing as Skye soon joined him, smiling.

"Aren't you supposed to be in yours?" Chase asked.

"I cleared it with Ryder." Skye said. Chase merely smiled and Skye cuddled up to him.

"I sleep better when I'm near you anyways." Chase said, putting a paw on hers. Skye smiled brightly and the two of them looked into each other's eyes.

"Night, Chase." Skye said.

"Night, Skye." Chase said. The two then kissed and laid their heads down, falling asleep.

Not far from Chase's Pup House was Gibbs. He merely looked at the stars before taking a breath and releasing it.

"I can feel you staring at me, Olivia." Gibbs said. Olivia soon came out from the shadows and approached him.

"I'm worried, is all." She said.

"You have nothing to be worried about." Gibbs said. Olivia then stood next to him and had something on her collar.

"There's something I need to tell you." Olivia said.

"Other than the fact you joined the PAW Patrol," Gibbs said, "what else is there?" Olivia looked at her collar before sighing.

"That would be the first thing you notice." She said.

"Kinda hard to miss." Gibbs said.

"Well," Olivia said, "what I have to tell you is bigger than that." Gibbs looked at Olivia with concern.

"Chase didn't get you pregnant, did he?" Gibbs asked, low enough for only Olivia to hear.

"What? No! No, no, no! We never did anything like that. He got us out before they could force us." She said.

"Good." Gibbs said.

"It has to do with your father." Olivia said. Gibbs grew concerned once more.

"What about him?" Gibbs asked. Olivia took a breath before releasing it.

"He… had another litter of pups." Olivia said.

"What? Chase and I have siblings?!" Gibbs asked.

"It was while he worked an undercover operation into a prominent crime syndicate. He… got the mob boss' dog pregnant." Olivia said.

"Who told you this?" Gibbs asked.

"He told me. Your mother knew about it before I did," Olivia said, "but he told me about it when I worked a case with him. Gibbs, the mob boss' dog… was an Australian Shepard." Gibbs' eyes went wide as he thought back to the Australian Shepard he first saw.

"The one you talked with?! That's my sibling?!" Gibbs asked.

"Her name is Maria. She… has no other family. Her mom and siblings died in a fire." Olivia said.

"Where is she?" Gibbs asked.

"She's staying behind City Hall." Olivia said. Gibbs got up and ran into the Lookout.


Location: Adventure Bay, Behind City Hall

An Australian Shepard was shaking as she tried to get some sleep. However, a wind blew over her and her eyes opened.

'So… cold!' She thought. A light then shone on her and she hid her face, shielding her eyes with a paw.

"I'm sorry, okay?! I'll leave! Just… give me a moment." She said.

"No," a voice said, "stay where you are." She looked before seeing the silhouette of a pup approaching her. As the silhouette got closer, her eyes widened.

"You're with the PAW Patrol!" She said. The pup then stopped in front of her.

"Stand up," they said," and put your paw down. Your eyes will adjust better that way." The Australian Shepard complied and saw the pup was a German Shepard in a police uniform.

"Are you… Chase?" She asked.

"No," the pup said, "I'm his brother." She gasped and saw SWAT on one of the collars.

"You're Gibbs. The pup who had a punch stronger than WWE Superstar Big Show's WMD." She said. Gibbs nodded.

"I'm also one of Bullet's children." Gibbs said. That name caught the Australian Shepard by surprise.

"Bullet… was your father?" She asked.

"Mine and Chase's. We were the only two survivors from his litter with our mother, Kate. They both worked with the NYPD, Maria." Gibbs said. The Australian Shepard gasped in shock.

"How do you know my name?" She asked.

"Because Olivia joined the PAW Patrol," Gibbs said, "and she felt the need to tell me." Gibbs held out a paw to Maria, causing her to look scared.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"Come with me, Maria. Ryder's waiting." Gibbs said. Maria looked unsure at first, but took Gibbs' paw. Gibbs then helped her to his truck and helped her in. He then drove back to the Lookout, having his ELS on. Only the lights, no siren. When he reached the Lookout, Ryder was there with Katie and Olivia. The other pups were there, too. Sweetie gasped and stepped forward.

"I recognize her! She was at the plane crash site!" She spoke. Chase, Skye, Marshall, and Olivia then stepped forward as Gibbs stopped in front of them. Gibbs got out first before helping Maria get out. The two then approached the four pups before them, Maria being scared. Sweetie stepped back and Ryder approached her before kneeling down.

"You remember us, right?" He asked.

"Save the new faces," Maria said, "but yes."

"Olivia told us everything. She's our SVU and Psychiatrist Pup." Ryder said.

"Just Psychiatrist. I feel like she would make a better SVU Pup." Olivia said.

"Wouldn't that mean there would be THREE Police Pups?" Maria asked.

"Chase and I can't handle everything." Gibbs said.

"Gibbs specializes in SWAT," Chase said, "and I specialize in Patrol."

"Maria," Skye said, "we understand if you're scared. However, you don't need to be." Sweetie and Arrby then stepped forward and Maria looked at them.

"These two are Arrby and Sweetie." Ryder said.

"Arrby is our Maritime Response Pup," Gibbs said, "and Sweetie is our Royal Police Pup."

"She's also the Princess Pup of Barkingburg." Ryder said. Maria gasped and Sweetie approached her.

"I'm sorry to hear about your family. I can't imagine the pain you're going through." Sweetie said. Maria nodded before Skye approached her.

"You know who I am, right?" She asked.

"Of course." Maria said.

"Then you deserve to know." Skye said.

"Know what?" Maria asked.

"I'm dating Chase." Skye said. Maria looked shocked before Olivia approached.

"They'll help you, Maria." Olivia said. Marshall then stepped forward before stopping as he felt a paw on his shoulder. He looked and saw Everest.

"When did?" Marshall asked.

"Ryder called for all PAW Patrol members in the immediate area." Everest said. Everest then approached Maria and looked at her eyes.

"Huh?" Maria asked.

"I'm the same as you. I lost my family." Everest said. Maria gasped and went to run, but Olivia stopped her.

"Let her finish." Olivia said.

"Maria," Everest said, "my family died in a snowstorm. I was the only survivor. I made myself an igloo in the artic, and lived there until Ryder and the PAW Patrol found me. They gave me a home, a purpose. Because of that, I managed to find the pup of my dreams." Maria looked confused.

"The pup of your dreams?" She asked. Gibbs looked at Maria in seriousness.

"Her true love." He said. Everest grinned a bit.

"Always so serious. You need to get yourself a girlfriend." Everest said.

"Not while EZIC is still around and targeting me." Gibbs said. Maria gasped and looked at Gibbs.

"Did you just say EZIC?" She asked. Chase looked concerned.

"Maria," he said, "do you know something?"

"The fire that took my family's lives was started by EZIC!" Maria said.

"They tried to force Chase and I to mate." Olivia said.

"They did a large amount of things. That's why I'm going to stop them." Gibbs said.

"He's not the only one. We're all working to take EZIC down." Ryder said. Maria then looked back at Everest.

"Who's your true love?" She asked. Everest looked at Marshall and Maria's eyes widened.

"Our Fire and EMS Pup, Marshall." Gibbs said.

"What about the others?" Maria asked.

"They're single." Gibbs said.

"Um… actually." Arrby said. Gibbs looked at Arrby before seeing him and Sweetie both blushing and holding paws.

"When did this happen?" Gibbs asked.

"Before you left to bring Maria here." Sweetie said.

"The PAW Patrol gave us a home and purpose," Everest said, looking back at Maria, "and it can do the same for you." Maria felt tears well up before shedding them and hugging Everest. Everest gently hugged back as Ryder motioned for Katie to approach.

"Let's get you inside and cleaned up." Ryder said. Katie then picked Maria up and dried her tears. Ryder smiled and they all started walking into the Lookout. Maria looked at Gibbs and he gave a sincere smile.

"Welcome to the family, Maria." He said. Maria smiled tearfully as she held onto Katie. The others smiled as well and the Lookout doors closed behind them.
