Marshall approached Rocky's rig and noticed the body of the pup in the seat, facing the other direction, Marshall pulled on the pups body and it slumped over facing him. The Dalmatian jumped back and fell to the ground when he noticed that it wasn't Rocky but it was a random pup with its throat slit.

Marshall felt sick after seeing disgusting sight and called Ryder on his pup tag.

"Ryder, I need you over here now!" Marshall alerted.

"What's wrong?" Ryder asked with worry.

"Rocky...he's not here, he's gone!" Marshall replied.


Rocky was woken up by a sound of whimpering near him, he looked around and noticed that the whimpering was coming from a pup, it was Skye.

"Skye?" Rocky called out.

Skye stopped her whimpering after hearing her friend call out to her.

"Skye, are you...okay?" Rocky asked.

Skye still had her back to Rocky, she looked down at the ground, everything that happened, she saw but just couldn't control it.

"I'm sorry, Rocky." Skye managed to say.

"Skye...don't be sorry for what happened." Rocky stated.

"I just couldn't control myself, Rocky, please you have to help me." Skye begged as she started tearing up.

"Skye, I don't know what to do, I messed up after what I did, I might've just doomed every pup." Rocky said looking down at the ground.

"What? Why?" Skye asked with tears still in her eyes.

"Because of this." Maverick walked in the room with the pup pad in his paw. "You saved me a lot of trouble Rocky, as for you Skye, just wait, what happening to you right now is...just a temporary thing." Maverick stated.

"Temporary thing?" Rocky asked with a bit of anger.

"Oh yes, she's supposed to be feral,losing her mind actually but I guess she somehow fought it. It'll only be a matter of time before she gives into it fully." Maverick said. "Anyways I want to make a proposal to you Rocky, more of a chance, to put it in a way."

"Don't even bother, Maverick." Rocky said turning the other way.

"Oh, but don't you want to at least know what it is?" Maverick asked.

"You know what? Fine, I'm all ears." Rocky agreed.

"I want to give you a chance. A chance to help me with my plan, change your ways and help me." Maverick offered.

"You really think I'm going to help you after what you've done to us?" Rocky asked.

"Yes...unless you want to be infected." Maverick said. "Just do what I ask and you have my word that I won't kill or infect you." Maverick said handing his paw out to Rocky.

Rocky looked at him for a moment and gave his paw to Maverick's.

"I knew you-ahh! dammit!" Maverick yelled out in pain as Rocky dug his claws in his paw.

"Your word doesn't mean anything to me." Rocky spat.

"You stupid pup! You are making it very difficult to keep you-!" Maverick intentionally cut himself off from saying anymore. Maverick smiled and left the room saying one thing. "See you in the morning Rocky."


Marshall was looking at the dead pup and noticed something, it had a syringe on it's back, Marshall climbed up and took the syringe out of the dead pup and examined it.

While Marshall was examining the syringe, there was two pups nearby stalking him, one flanked around to get behind the Dalmatian.

"Ryder,I'm heading back to the Lo-." Marshall was tackled by one the pups and dropped the syringe. The other pup grabbed the syringe and was getting ready to stab Marshall with it.

"Finish him off!" The pup yelled out.

Marshall soon threw himself back and slammed the pup on Rocky's rig but it didn't help,the other pup managed to stab him with the syringe. Marshall yelped out in pain and grabbed the pup, pinning him on Rocky's rig.

"What did you do?!" Marshall asked with his claws on the pups neck.

The pup didn't say anything and just spat in Marshall's face, Marshall killed him in an instant, as for the other pup who was on the ground, he began to ask questions to him.

"You want to end up like your friend here? What did you do?" Marshall asked.

"I'm pretty sure you can figure it out." The pup laughed.

Marshall didn't hesitate and killed the pup,he soon called Ryder through his pup tag.

"Ryder, sorry about that, pup tag was messing up, I'm heading back to the Lookout." Marshall lied.

"Wait what did you find at Rocky's rig?" Ryder asked.

"Just a dead pup, I'll explain it when I get back." Marshall ended the call and went to head back to the Lookout when he realized that they'll get suspicious if they see him with blood, he went down to the beach and quickly washed the blood off him before heading back to the Lookout.


Marshall arrived at the Lookout and struggled to get off his rig, he finally got off and acted like nothing happened, with that the Dalmatian went inside the Lookout.

"Marshall, what happened back there?" Ryder asked.

"I found Rocky's rig, there was a dead pup in his rig instead of him, no traces or anything, I'm sorry Ryder." Marshall explained.

"Don't apologize Marshall, it's been a long day, all of you, go get some rest." Ryder said to the pups before heading up to the Lookout.

The rest of the pups left and Marshall stayed in the Lookout.

"What really happened Marshall?" Chase asked.

Marshall sighed and responded.

"Nothing crazy happened Chase." Marshall lied.

Chase just stared at him,seeing through his lie.

"Ok! The pup had a syringe on him and I grabbed it..." Marshall said.

Chase kept looking at him waiting for him to say more.

"...and I got ambushed by these 2 pups,one tackled me while the other grabbed the syringe and stabbed me with it." Marshall said.

"What?!" Chase said.

"Look I managed alright!"

"Barely."

"I don't know what was in the syringe but I can guess it's nothing good?" Marshall asked.

"Yeah, Marshall, you know what's going to happen to you right?" Chase asked.

"Yeah I know, I can't tell the pups, you have to keep this between us." Marshall begged.

"No way, we keep this a secret and it could get out of hand." Chase stated.

"Chase...please." Marshall begged.

"I'm sorry Marshall, go get some sleep, see me in the morning, we'll talk about this." Chase said.

With that, Marshall left and went to sleep. Chase was thinking to himself, thinking about how this was his fault. He looked around the room and saw the syringe lying there on a small desk.

Chase decided on what he was going to do when the time came.


"So what do you think?" Maverick asked to a pup.

"I think this plan is going to work, when do we start?" The pup asked.

"Tomorrow." Maverick said.

"What about the other two pups, Rocky and Skye?" The pup asked.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of them. Skye is already infected but going through something temporarily, the other one, however, I'm trying not to infect him but he's making it very difficult." Maverick stated as he was leaving the room.

"You'll keep your end of the bargain right?" The pup asked before he left.

"Of course, after this, everyone will know the true queen of BarkingBurg. You have my word Sweetie." Maverick smiled as he left.
