Although Cat Noir started this, I was the one who wrote this chapter because an administrator deleted the one that Cat Noir wrote. Despite that, she actually liked this chapter, though.

Don't forget to follow, fav, and leave a review, too!

And now for Chapter 2 of the fic.

After he was thrown off the giant octopus, he was greeted by two merpups. From what he could tell, they seemed a bit concerned as the mama touched Zuma and turned him into one, causing his lungs to atrophy (definition: partial or complete wasting of a body part) and his once-nonfunctional gills to grow and start functioning, in addition to the obvious fish tail. He could feel the water flow through his throat and out of his gills for the first time since the canon episode "Pups Save Puplantis", feeling relieved that he wasn't drowning anymore.

"Wow, th- th- thanks for saving me, I guess." he said, shuttered by what just happened.

"We were swimming along and found you floating around."

"Nice to see you again, Zuma," playfully said the baby as she swam around him.

"Could you guys explain where that octopus came from?"

"I have no clue about that," the merpup replied, having no idea what was going on.
"For some reason, I thought Merpups only appear on 'mer-moons'. Guess I was wrong."

For some reason, he felt a little bit uneasy inside, but he doesn't know why. With all those thoughts running in his head, it's hard to tell what he truly feels. With his friends worrying, it's hard for the puppy to decide what to do next.

"Wanna head to Atlantis?" the merpup asked, eager to hear an answer.

"I'm not sure. I thought Atlantis is all the way in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of the United Kingdom."

"Aww, Please!" Baby Merpup pleaded, "I really wanna go there!"

"I guess we could travel across America as cargo." Zuma suggested an idea, feeling embarrassed about what would happen next.

"Great idea, Zuma!" the Mama Merpup answered his 'question'.

The pups went to the docks and from there, they snuck into a saltwater aquarium where they were loaded onto a BNSF (Burlington Northern-Santa Fe) train which was headed for Miami to be used for an aquarium. Their temporary tank-mates didn't like that, however...

If I could talk, I would have to tell the aquarium manager to kick those wierdos' out. They're not even adapted to fully aquatic life at all!

"Guess we'll have to get off at Miami if the turtles hate us." Zuma commented about that turtle who looked like he would bite Zuma's head off if he could.

The turtles calmed down a little bit after Zuma said the pups would leave at Miami, but they would still have to bear with them for the next couple of days.

When they arrived at Miami, Florida, the pups leaped off the train and into the rail yard (which was right next to the sea, by the way), where they flopped around for as long as their atrophied lungs could keep them oxygenated. When they finally reached the Atlantic Ocean, Zuma felt uncomfortable having to 'inhale' the denser water from the Atlantic Ocean, being used to the sparse water of the Pacific.

Several Days Later...

"I also wonder how we can still talk despite having gills," Zuma lampshaded the oddity that they could still talk despite having both atrophied lungs and fully functional gills. "The turtles couldn't talk, despite having fully developed lungs."

"I have no clue, but I think we've been carried by currents to the great city of Atlantis!" Mama Merpup announced as the great city of Atlantis was right in front of them.

"Ooh, yay! We're here!" Baby Merpup commented to her mother's announcement.

"Wow! I never thought that Atlantis looked like that! It's so attractive, with all the great tourist attractions, just like Las Vegas, Nevada, with all those casinos, hotels, and more!" Zuma was amazed at the mere sight of the submerged metropolis, something that (somewhat) confused Mama Merpup (who had already been there, by the way). "I've been to Puplantis, but I've never been here before! This kinda reminds me of the SpongeBob SquarePants film Sponge On The Run."

"So you've never been here before, Zuma? Let me show you around." Mama Merpup showed Zuma around the entire city via the Atlantis Metro, showing him all of the different sights to see, including the Capitol Building, which is surrounded with walls of a fortress, by the way.

"The Capitol of Atlantis reminds me of a trip to Washington, D. C. I saw the national mall which contained the U. S. Capitol, White House, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial! It was so cool!" He commented at the sight of the Atlantic Capitol, amazed at the mere sight of it. "Is the Atlantic Congress located here or in a separate building?"

"It's called parliament, silly! It's also in the Capitol. And the Supreme Court: also in the-" Mama Merpup was about to finish her sentence, but was interrupted by Baby Merpup.

"There are plenty of shops to go shopping if you want to do that," Baby Merpup asked if he wanted to go shopping, but declined the offer.

"No, thanks. I'm only a pup, guys! I can't go shopping until I'm 18," he said, declining the offer the merpups asked.

"It's okay. Wanna go to Six Flags?" Mama Merpup offered something else, and this time, he accepted.

"Sure! I'd love to go to an amusement park! Last time I went, I was the only one that didn't pass out at some point!"

"Just note that it's above the water due to drag (Air Resistance, doesn't apply to just air). You might want to apply some gill moisturizer so that you don't asphyxiate (suffocation in air) due to lack of oxygen," Mama Merpup suggested to Zuma, but he was curious about what 'Gill Moisturizer' is.

"Exactly what is 'Gill Moisturizer'? I've never heard of i-" Zuma was about to ask, but was cut off by Mama Merpup.

"Oh, It's something that you apply on your gills that allow them to absorb oxygen from the air more easily." Mama Merpup clarified what Zuma was curious about. "Not all of them work well, though, so make sure to chose the cheapest one. Just like with Light Bulbs, the cheapest always work the best.

When they got to Six Flags, Mama Merpup bought 3 passes, and the 3 got on several rollercoasters, starting with a shuttle rollercoaster, then an inverted one, then a floorless roller coaster, a boomerang (the rollercoaster model, not the toy), and a möbius loop which reminded Zuma of Six Flags Magic Mountain. They enjoyed it, and after leaving the park gates, Zuma was the furthest away from passing out, and enjoyed it a lot. Baby Merpup, however was the closest to passing out, and she vomited when they went to the restroom.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Baby Merpup said after she vomited her stomach contents, which included some dog-friendly Powerade she snuck from Zuma's.

"Baby Merpup, why did you drink some of my Powerade?" Zuma lightly scolded her for drinking his Powerade without his permission. "Well, I did see you next to it while we were riding the rollercoaster that you couldn't ride. I just didn't think you were drinking it."

"Wanna stay with me at a hotel? It's pretty nice for anyone who stays there," Mama Merpup made another offer. Zuma also accepted it, but was wondering about Ryder and the rest of the PAW Patrol.

"Yes, but there's one thing that I have to mention: I think Ryder must be worried about me, and I guess the rest of the PAW Patrol is, too." He uttered, worried about who he called family for most of his life.

Meanwhile, somewhere off the coast of Alaska...

"Did you get him?" a yellow Labrador asked to a giant octopus. He shook his 'head' in a way that she could understand he meant no. "Darnit! I f***ing need him to fulfill my evil plan! F*** you, Paw Patrol!

She turned around, then pounced on the octopus and ripped it to shreds, emitting blue blood (Hemocyanin (pronunciation: hê-mö-cī-an-in)) from the bleeding octopus. She grinned, then she left the room without bothering to clean up, forcing the janitor to clean up the corpse she left behind. This proved that she just merely hired the now-shredded octopus.

"Good-bye, Paw Patrol!" she maniacally laughed as the janitor entered the room, confused about what was just happening.

Author's Notes: BNSF was the merger of 2 smaller companies: Burlington Northern Railroad, and the Ashton, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad; which merged in 1996. Some American cities like San Diego still call their union stations 'Santa Fe Depot', despite the fact that Santa Fe no longer serves passenger service.

The 'Atlantis Metro' is a completely submerged underground subway serving the city of Atlantis. The trains travel in vacuumized tunnels with waterlogged trains capable of holding up to a freight wagon of water per car. The tunnels the trains travel through have to be vacuumized to prevent the entire city from being electrocuted due to the 3rd rail that powers the trains. Also, a regular Diesel engine won't work properly because the air intake would be clogged with water, but with artificial gills, they can extract oxygen from the water and convert it into air, allowing Diesel engines to work. As a foresight, the tunnels and trains are extra protected in case a leak happens.

Also, the Six Flags that Mama Merpup suggested to Zuma is above the surface because water causes more drag than air. The reason she mentioned 'Gill Moisturizer' was because the gills on Hermit Crabs (no, not Hermitcraft!) can breathe air with them, provided they're moist. As I said in the first part, merpups have atrophied lungs, meaning they can only breathe with them for a short time (like a few minutes) before they have to use their gills again due to the atrophied lungs' inefficiency.

Also, Powerade is a type of sports drink that is supposedly safe for dogs. It's safe, but not recommended though and unsafe in the amount that Zuma drank, so I said it was a dog-safe version that Zuma got because he drank most of it (he didn't drink all of it because Baby Merpup drank some without his permission).

Also, despite the fact that there are no swear filters, I would never expose a swear word anyways, So I only put the first word of the swear word and typed the rest of it as asterisks, minus the suffixes. Despite the swearing, there's violence in this chapter, which was why I rated this PG-13.

Because most mollusks have literal blue blood (octopi included), the octopus that Zena shredded also has Hemocyanin, therefore resulting that all octopi (Unless stated otherwise) have Hemocyanin as the primary fluid that transports Oxygen around their bodies.
