AN: In regards to the Mighty Pups episodes, I thought they were well done for the most part and the villains were great characters that I wish would appear in other episodes aside from the superhero ones. Now personally my least favorite episode (aside from When Super Kitties Attack) is Pups V.S. The Copycat. Nothing against Copycat, he's the best villain out of the three and my favorite villain, but the Pups getting their charged up powers at the last minute before the meteor hit is such a dues ex machina that the ending felt rushed because of it. So I wrote how I think the episode should've ended if Paw Patrol weren't on Nick Jr. Don't worry, nothing really violent here, but you'll have to read to find out what happens next...
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Paw Patrol.
Ryder was only eleven years old but he had been through and seen a lot. He met the real Santa Claus, jumped over a speeding train in a book mobile, and even saved merpups in the magical undersea kingdom known as Puplantis. Those had been some bizarre rescues which anyone else might not have been able to handle, but the kid had managed to do so.
This however was something else.
Ryder looked up at the giant meteorite hurdling towards him which seemed to get bigger the closer it got to the planet, it would destroy Adventure Bay if it wasn't stopped. Rocky looked at him with reasonable worry on his face. "What are we going to do Ryder?" the super Mixed Breed asked. "With the Copycat having all the same power as us there's no way we can beat him."
Ryder clenched his hands into fists. The Copycat, a new super baddy who had shown up earlier today and caused trouble by taking objects and building materials from all over town, using them to build a towering tower right next to the Lookout base. Afterwards he built a super magnet to pull one of the meteors from the meteor shower towards Adventure Bay, putting the town in danger. As to why he was doing all of this wasn't clear, it couldn't just be for more power because he could've pulled any meteor from the sky. No, he chose the biggest one possible for some reason but now wasn't the time to figure put why.
The human boy looked at Rocky and the rest of the Mighty Pups with a confidant smile to bring up morale. "Each time we've tried to foil the Copycat's plan it was on our own or in small groups," Ryder began. "But if we all work together I know we can beat him and save the town!"
"Yeah!" the Mighty Pups cheered in unison before Zuma raised up a paw. "Team fist bump fow good luck?" he asked.
"No time Zuma!" exclaimed Chase while looking up at the fiery rock heading towards them. "That meteor is going to hit any minute now!"
"Mighty Pups are on a roll!" Ryder declared as he flew into the air with his super jetpack. The super powered pups got into their hovercars and drove up the metal tower towards the top for the final showdown.
"Uh oh, here comes those Mighty Pups Copycat!" Mayor Humdinger said as he saw them getting closer.
The Copycat let out an annoyed sigh followed by an eyeroll. "Meow, don't those annoying pups ever give up?" he asked before smirking. "No matter, let them come and play with the cat one last time before I become the most powerful being on the planet!"
"You mean before we become the most powerful beings on the planet!" Mayor Humdinger corrected with furrowed brows.
"You mean before we become the most powerful beings on the planet!" Copycat repeated in a mocking tone.
"Hey! Stop copying me like that it's-" The mayor sidekick never got the chance to finish his sentence because at that moment the Mighty Pups reached the top of the tower and circled around the two.
"Copycat! Please for the last time turn off the magnet!" Ryder begged. He pointed at the impending doom getting closer with each second. "That meteor is too big! It'll destroy the whole town!"
"It'll destroy the whole town!" Copycat repeated in a whiny voice before looking back at Ryder completely deadpan. "Geez that's exactly what that pink mutt said earlier."
"Hey!" Skye exclaimed very annoyed. "I'm not a mutt I'm a Cockapoo!"
"Well dog made out of male genitalia and feces, not you or anybody else can stop me!"
"We'll see about that!" Ryder pointed his finger forward. "Mighty Pups, GO!"
The pups howled as they went into battle, half of them staying in their hovercars while the other half got out to fight the Copycat. "Destroy the magnet!" Rocky called out. "Do that and the magnetic attraction will let go of the meteor!"
"On it!" Chase called out as he zipped towards the controls of the giant magnet. But before the super fast German Shepard could do anything he was suddenly tackled by something just as fast as him.
"I don't think so!" Copycat hissed before summoning a pink tornado. He hopped out of it before his paws glowed orange and a surge of water blasted from them and into the whirlwind causing it to change it's color to that of the water.
Zuma's eyes widened as he quickly realized what the super baddy had done. "Dudes, he just totally used mine and Skye's power's to make a whiwlpool!" he warned his teammates.
"Everyone watch out!" Ryder exclaimed as he flew higher to avoid getting sucked in. The pups who had decided to get out on the tower's top ran to the edge and carefully shimmied about as the water tornado inched closer and closer to them. Meanwhile Mayor Humdinger's kitties, who were terrified about the whirlpool and were aware about the oversized space rock approaching, ran while letting out frightened meows as they jumped into Chase's hovercar to hide, no one seeing this.
"Don't worry guys, I got this!" Mighty Marshall declared as he hopped out of his vehicle with glowing paws. He got them as hot as they could before aiming at the water cyclone and emitting a blast of intense heat that evaporated the whole thing into steam in a matter of seconds. Ryder and the other Mighty Pups cheered.
"Great thinking Marshall!" Ryder complimented. "Now let's stop that cat!"
"Good luck with that!" came a snarky voice. Everyone turned their attention towards Copy Cat who was now incased in a green barrier along with Mayor Humdinger and the super magnet. "Behold! My impenetrable force field of...uh, impenetrability!"
Rocky walked up to the green bubble and inspected it. "Hey, this looks like my energy tools," he deducted.
"Right you are Socky!"
"It's Rocky..."
"Whatever Blocky! But you're correct, I've used my energy tools combined with my heat powers and superspeed to create this unbreakable shield. Good luck trying to get in!"
Mayor Humdinger tapped the barrier himself before looking at his partner with concern. "Um, Copy Cat? Is there an exit out of here?" he asked before squirming in place. "I have to use the little sidekick's room."
"I'll bust through that shield with my super strength!" Mighty Rubble boasted before jumping out of his vehicle and starting to kick the green shield with his super strength. The other pups helped along by using their powers on it as well. Unfortunately even with their combined efforts they didn't even make a dent on the shield much to the villain cat's pleasure.
"Nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan!" Copy Cat teased, sticking out his tongue. "You can't get it in! You can't get in!"
Ryder started to come up with a new plan but he looked up and gasped. The meteor being pulled by the super magnet was only a couple of hundred miles above Adventure Bay. Even if they managed to break the dome and turn off the magnet the space rock would still be on its crash course for the town.
Time was up.
"Pups, stop!" Ryder ordered frantically waving his hands. "We're out of time! We have to get to safety, fast!" The pups took one glance up at the glowing orange sky and gasped to see how right their leader was. They barked in panic as they raced back to their vehicles and went back down the tower. "Quick, head to the bottom of the cliff! We'll be safe from the blast range down there!" The boy and pups went down the cliffside as if the devil himself was chasing them.
Mayor Humdinger watched the dog rescue team disappear behind the cliffside before looking up at the meteor himself with a worried look. "Hey Copycat, those pups do have a point," he began, nervously tugging the collar of his suit. "That meteor does look rather big..."
"Quiet Foggy Boy!" Copycat snapped. "Those pups underestimate my powers and brilliance! I can catch that meteor no problem!"
"Alright smarty pants, what's your 'brilliant' plan to catch the giant space rock?"
"Watch." Copycat dropped the unbreakable dome, now that the Mighty Pups were gone there wasn't any need for it. He used his energy tools to build a large scoop that people used to take out their fish from tanks in order to clean them. "This is what I'll use to catch the meteor."
"A FISH NET?!" Mayor Humdinger screamed in disbelief. "You can't be serious! It's not even a quarter of the size of that enormous rock!"
"Hayley uses a small net to move her angel fish out of its bowl when it's time to clean it. The fish is much bigger than the net and she has no problem whatsoever." The super powered feline then used his whirlwind powers to fly up to catch the oversized metal rock
"Well I'm not going to stand here and get crushed to smithereens! Come on kitties, let's get out of here!" Mayor Humdinger turned to leave with his pets only to find out they were gone. "Kitties, where'd you go? Don't tell me you ran off without me!" As the mayor sidekick frantically searched for his missing pets, he heard a loud creaking sound. "Uh, that wasn't the tower was it? Sure it was made rather quickly but I'm sure it can hold up against anything!" Unfortunately for Foggy Boy he was totally wrong. Because the tower was made hastily with random stuff as well as lacking a strong base, it wasn't at all stable. The fight between the Mighty Pups and Copycat really weakened it. So when the mayor jumped on the tower to prove it was still stable, he set his own fate. The tower began to wobble and shake uncontrollably tossing the man around like a salad. Everything came to a climax when Humdinger fell over the edge with a loud scream. He hit the ground rather hard leaving him dazed and confused. Everything hurt and he couldn't feel his left leg meaning it was most likely broken. When his vision stopped doubling he heard a screeching creak sound and looked up just in time to see the tower coming down on top of him.
Copycat turned his head back the moment he heard his tower come crashing down to the ground. He wasn't too upset because he could always build a bigger and better tower after he gained more power from the mighty meteor. He also didn't care if Foggy Boy managed to escape safely or not, he really didn't care about his useless sidekick. He turned his attention towards his meteor which made the entire town turn orange from its radiant glow. "Alright mighty meteor, time to come into my clutches and grant me unlimited strength!" Copycat declared as he raised up his giant fish net. However what he didn't expect was a piece of the meteor breaking off and hurdling towards him. He was able to dodge it in time but had no idea what it was that flew past him. "What on earth was that?" He looked back up at the sky and gasp in horror when he saw the giant space rock was breaking apart into smaller meteors that were falling all over Adventure Bay. "No! Stop! Stop getting smaller!" The cat baddy was using his net now to catch the smaller pieces as best he could. "You have to stay the biggest meteor in the world! Bigger than the Paw Patrol's!"
The Copycat was so panicked about gathering the breaking rocks that he failed to notice one meteor was making a beeline towards him, colliding with the cat and sending him rocketing down to Mr. Porter's restaurant, taking out half of the building. The Copycat coughed as the dust settled, thanks to his super strength he was able to take on the attack with no severe injury, otherwise he'd be a red stain across the ground. "Ow, that hurt..." was what he wanted to say but instead what came out were some normal cat meows. He paused in confusion. "Hey, how come I can't talk anymore?" he thought in his head. "My meteor tooth allows me the power to-" Copycat licked the area of where his meteor tooth was only to find there was nothing there but warm blood. He looked at a banged up pot top to look into his mouth and saw that his meteor tooth was gone. It must've gotten knocked out when the meteor crashed him into the restaurant.
He wasn't the Copycat anymore, he was now normal Mr. Nibbles.
Mr. Nibbles ran out from the rubble now in a panic. Since he no longer had his superpowers he had no way to catch the giant meteor which he now realized those Mighty Pups had been right about it being just a "tad" too big. He ran down the street as meteor pieces began breaking off and destroying homes and businesses. Taking shelter was useless as the space rocks could easily break bricks and metal with ease, escape was the only chance for survival. Mr. Nibbles turned a corner and continued running, already tired but he pushed through because his life depended on it. He had been running for a while and soon could see the exit for the town several yards away and let out a happy meow. He was going to make it!
However he suddenly tripped and landed hard on the road. Looking back he saw one of his back paws got caught on a vine growing from underneath the road and was completely tangled. Suddenly the area around him glowed orange prompting him to look up in horror as the second biggest meteor from the initial one he pulled out from space heading right towards him. He was able to survive the last rock that hit him with no problem, but now that he lost his superpowers he wouldn't live through this impact. He tried to shake himself free from the vine's grasp but all he did was make it tighter on his paw. The cat then got the brilliant idea to bite himself free using his teeth, quickly he began nibbling on the vine like his namesake in order to get himself free. It was a bit tricky since he was missing a sharp tooth to help him. He could taste the chlorophyll squeeze onto his tongue with every bite but he ignored it. At last he managed to chew himself few but it was already too late.
Mr. Nibbles looked up at the meteor and saw it was a few mere inches from his face.
Time seemed to slow down as the orange cat saw his life flashing before his eyes with major moments. From the moment he first opened his eyes and saw Hailey's young face as a kitty, to Hailey sneaking him into a movie theater to see an R rated movie, to their celebration of Hailey landing the job as a news reporter, and lastly coming to Adventure Bay to report about the meteor shower.
Mr. Nibbles had lived a good life thanks to Hailey.
And now it was all coming to an end.
If he could still talk, he'd say two words he remembered hearing from that movie Hailey snuck him into.
Meanwhile, miles from the town and in the mountains at Jake's Cabin, the residents of Adventure Bay were standing around the star observatory which was still missing its telescope. The meteor shower had already started but without the telescope no one could watch it. "Do you think the Mighty Pups were able to get the telescope back from that bad cat grandpa?" Alex asked.
Mr. Porter knelt down beside his grandson and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure Ryder and the pups are working hard to get it back," the man reassured Alex. "In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they were on their way to return it now."
Alex smiled at this but it didn't last long as a huge crashing sound shook the earth below everyone. "Woah what's going on?!" someone exclaimed as they tried to keep their balance. Several more loud crashes followed by more earthquakes followed suite and a few bursts of light lit up the starry sky from a distance. "Look, it's coming from town!" someone else pointed out. Everyone turned their attention to where Adventure Bay was and could see clouds of black smoke rising up from the distance. Worry bestowed upon the citizens for both their town and Paw Patrol wondering if they were safe or not. Mayor Goodway managed to hush the crowd down to talk to them.
"Settle down everyone," she begged. "Chickoletta and I will return to town to see what all the hubbub is all about. But I'm sure Ryder and the pups are fine. The mayor got into her car and drove back to Adventure Bay, praying that the town's rescue team were safe.
Luckily Mayor Goodway had been right when she said Ryder and the pups were safe. The moment the superhero team reached the bottom of the cliffside they huddled together by the stone wall to brace themselves from the meteor's impact. Rocky suddenly got an idea, summoning his energy tools. "Marshall quick, use your heat on my tools!"
"Why?" The Dalmatian asked.
"We're going to make a dome barrier like the Copycat did to protect ourselves! Now hurry!"
Marshall nodded in understanding before melting the tools, Chase then used his speed to encase everyone in the dome. "I know Copycat is bad, but I hope he's right about this shield being impenetrable," Mighty Chase whimpered.
"Pups," Ryder started, getting their attention. "I just...I just wanted to let you know that I'm proud of all of you." He got down to scratch Chase and Rubble. "No matter what happens."
"But Ryder, is the town going to be okay?" Rubble asked with a concerned look.
Ryder couldn't give an answer because that's when it began.
Everyone jumped in fright when the first broken off meteor hit the town making a loud explosion. This was followed by more explosions as more mini space rocks broke off from the ginormous meteor and blasted the town. Nobody could see what was happening but they could only imagine the damage being done to their home. Chase gritted his teeth and hung his head down, Marshall and Rubble both cowered underneath their front paws, Skye looked ready to collapse, Rocky was praying to God that he and his family would be safe, and Zuma prayed to God nobody would realize that he went to the bathroom in his superhero suit out of fear.
The sense of time was lost, but it felt like it was going on for an eternity. Finally the giant meteor finally collided with the town causing the biggest explosion yet. Everyone clenched the moment they heard the impact, wondering exactly where it landed and how much damage was caused. Once everything was silent, Ryder counted to 30 Mississippi in his head before telling Rocky to let the barrier come down. The superpowered Mixed Breed used a hammer and chisel to make a large crack with Rubble finishing the job with superpowered kick. The pups raced to their hovercars and drove up the cliff with Ryder following behind. As they made their way up Chase sneezed a couple of times but thought it was just dirt getting into his nose and didn't think anything of it.
The super pup team made it back up and gasped when they saw the Lookout, their home and base of operation for many years, destroyed. A meteor had crashed into the top part where Ryder assigned the pups their missions completely knocking it down to the ground. It also busted up the Paw Patrol emblem, the place where their mighty meteor was kept. The team's meteor rested beside the one that wrecked the Lookout's, it was like comparing a meatball to a bowling ball. Aside from the mission room being at ground level now, the Lookout was fine if you could call it that. Nobody said how thankful they were that the Lookout was still somewhat up, their concern was the town. They raced over to the other side of the cliff where they could see all of Adventure Bay from and everyone froze. All over town were giant pieces of meteors that had crashed into various places, the humongous one that had initially been pulled from space had destroyed all of town hall and the area it was in including the Chickoletta statue and the mayor's tulip garden, she wouldn't be happy about that one. Some of the hot rocks had even caused fires that were burning and were starting to spread all over.
The Paw Patrol team stared in utter disbelief at the destruction of their hometown that they swore to protect from all danger, now in ruin.
They had failed.
AN: To be continued. So originally I was going to make this into a giant oneshot story but as I wrote I realized it'd be better if I fleshed everything out into chapters instead. So yeah, Adventure Bay is destroyed, shit. Plus Mayor Humdinger and Copycat are dead. Remember at the top author's notes when I said this story wouldn't be too violent and yet I killed off two characters and gave this story a T rating? Good times, good times.
For those of you wondering about my Sweetie and Sour story, don't worry that is still going on and I'm in the middle of writing chapter 3, I just wanted to work on another, slightly darker Paw Patrol story.
That's all for now, Ciao!
