After a day of searching for Chase and Marshal, Rocky had to take over the role as the role as the lead pup. The mixed breed struggled with the idea of being the alpha. Never had he thought he would have to fill the roll. Rocky didn't even know if he could.
The next day reports of hyenas in town came in. The team tried to capture them but nothing worked. The hyenas eventually knocked Ryder into a pit that was so deep the bottom couldn't be seen. After that the hyenas left on their own.
Devastated the team retreated to the Lookout. No one said anything all day except for Liberty. As the newest member she had never met Skye and didn't quite have the bond the rest shared. But being the oldest at twenty-one she felt it was her job to comfort the others.
The long-haired dachshund felt especially for Tracker the youngest at twelve. Before joining the team, he had been abandoned seven times in one year at age three. Tracker had healed from it with the help of his owner Carlos and his best friend Zuma. But with both missing and Ryder gone the young pup was taking a hard blow.
Liberty also felt she had to help take some of the load off of Rocky's shoulders. But the long-haired dachshund knew she couldn't do much. As the newest member she didn't have any authority over the others. Even though all the others were younger than her.
Liberty felt that Rubble shouldn't be second in command. He was more focused on what he could do instead of what they could do as a team. While Rocky stressed about what to do, Rubble was doing little things on his own. They really needed to communicate.
That same day Sid Swashbuckle somehow was elected mayor. He and Arrby were taking what they wanted as taxes. The only thing they didn't take from the Paw Patrol was a worn teddy bear Tracker had received from Skye when he first joined the team. On its belly it had her saying on it: "Stand strong when life changes because God is in control."
Meanwhile Ryder woke up in a forest wondering what happed. He had a broken leg from the fall. In the night sky two lights were approaching. Soon Ryder heard a familiar voice. "Ryder?"
