AN: Yup, I'm back with more shorts. I know some of you are waiting for me to update my various Paw Patrol fics, but first I'm going to be updating my Gumball one. But I didn't want to leave you guys without something, so I created three new shorts for you guys to enjoy. I've finally seen the first Mighty Pups Special, and I did like it. The Powers make sense, but I wish they actual had superhero sounding names instead of just "Mighty Insert Name". Still, it was actiony, I really like the costumes and the whole "powers from space" is a classic superhero cliché. Plus, it was a great Character development episode for Chase. Also, the Mayor's Nephew is my new favorite villain, and the most competent one we've seen so far.
I still must get caught up in Season 5 episodes before Season 6, but I decided to see the Mighty Twins episode because I was too curious. First off, I know they switched voice actors for everyone except for Rocky and Chase in season 6, so I want to give my heartwarming farewell to Kallan Holley and Devan Cohen the former voice actors of Skye and Rubble who last longer then the original actors. Hope you guys do well in your careers.
As for the new voice actors, I have only seen one episode with them (The Mighty Pups one) but I do like Ryder's new voice. I always thought he needed a more mature and deeper sounding voice like his second voice actor. I really can't say if I like or not the pups new voice actors as I need to hear more episodes before making a judgment call.
As for the Mighty Pups themselves, well. I got mixed feelings. On one hand (or Paw), I do like the idea of twin superheroes as a call back to the Wonder Twins from the classic Super Friends Cartoons. They are nice pups, interesting designs (I think they are Golden Retrievers) and the powers are cool… but how did Ryder know they would get such powers as growing and shrinking? Don't get me wrong, them helping Ryder and Ryder asking for their help is like how Tracker got into the group and they did prove they could help and were kind pups. Just… I would have rather have them get their powers by deciding by themselves to become Mighty Pups to help instead of Ryder just telling them they can.
The two are cute and adorable together, but they kinda have similar personalities that don't distinguish them from each other. Granted it's a first episode, but I'd like to see more of a difference between the two other then their gender. Ladybird? Loved her. I loved her. Oh god, she my favorite now. She's just so silly and yet so evil for stealing cables from a bridge without any care for who lives or dies. Plus, her voice makes me laugh.

*** Marshall: Chosen of Meridia ***
Marshall was having a very troubling time with Halloween coming closer and closer. He was going as his usual clown costume again, but in his silliness, he decided to bury his clown shoes last year and was looking for them again. "Curse every dog's inner weakness for burying things. Ugh, where could it be," he muttered as he started digging a new hole.
He hoped Ryder didn't mind having over a dozen dug holes in their yard. Besides, they could always get Rubble to patch them up.
Suddenly, something shiny was spotted in the dirt of Marshall's latest dig. Curious, he kept digging until he managed to pull out a strange ball that was greyish-white and had hexagons all over. "Woah, when did we bury this ball?"
When he reached out to touch it, it started glowing like a miniature sun and floated above. Marshall gasped as he felt the warm and powerful aura that was shining from the strange glowing orb.
"At last. Someone has found my beacon. A dog of all things. Tch, well better then those idiots in Skyrim at least," A voice spoke out loud.
"Woah, uh, who is there?" Marshall asked, looking around.
"I am mortal! I speak to you though my beacon. I am Meridia, Daedric Prince of Life and Lady of Infinite Energies. I have chosen you to be my new Champion, Mortal. Do the task that I demand of you and you shall be rewarded with great power." The beacon demanded.
"Wait, if you're a Prince, why do you sound like a girl?" Marshall asked, tilting his head.
"I can choose whatever voice I like, Mortal. Now enough talking and listen! My temple has been run over by a darkness that I must have eliminated! You must go with my beacon and clear it!"
"Um, okay, I guess if you want help then I'll help. Let me just get my friends and-"
"There is no time! We will go now!"
Before Marshall could say anything, a great white light enveloped him and the beacon. A split second later, the two were gone without any trace that they had left.
(Later that evening)
"Has anyone seen Marshall?" Ryder asked as he and the others started leaving the lookout, wearing their skeleton costumes. It had been decided that the group would all have a similar theme this year instead of just going in separate costumes.
Adjusting his skull mask, Rubble replied, "I haven't seen him all day. Which he's lucky for because I want to tug his ear for making me have to clean up all those holes he dug up."
"I'm sure he'll be back soon. Marshall loves Halloween parties," Chase replied, putting on the last of his costume. Turning towards the entrance of the Lookout, he narrowed his eyes and spotted a familiar black and white spotted pup heading up the hill. "Speak of the dog, there he is."
Rocky narrowed his eyes. "Looks like he went for some kind of black knight outfit."
"Hey, I got an idea!" Zuma said with a sly grin. "Let's scare him by pretending to be undead zombies."
"Great idea! Come on, pups!" Ryder said as he lifted his arms and started moaning. The others laughed and followed suit.
(With Marshall)
"Wow, what an adventure. I sure can't wait to tell the gang what I did for Lady Meridia," Marshall replied with pride in his voice. Being a the chosen of a goddess was something he never expected to happen, but after slaying a bunch of undead monsters, a necromancer, and a Champion of Molag Bal he deserved it. "Plus, I get this new cool Elven Glass Armor and this sword."
He looked at the long sword, the weapon his Lady had given him to show the world she was her champion. It was bright as the sun itself thanks to the glowing orb in the center, and it would destroy any undead by turning them into ashes with the power of his Lady's Light. "Dawnbreaker is such a cool name. The others will flip when they hear of this."
However, just as he made it to the top of the hill, he gasped upon seeing a human skeleton and five pup skeletons heading towards him. Growling, he shouted, "Accursed undead! Prepeare to be put to rest! For Lady Meridia!"
Dashing forward, he drew Dawnbreaker and, in a split second thanks to his Lady's Blessing, was able to slash right through the skeletons with simple cuts, turning them into six piles of ash.
Placing Dawnbreaker on his back, Marshall smiled at his work and nodded. "Well that was easy. Then again, Skeletons are nothing compared to a Draugr Deathlord." Turning around he went into the Lookout. "Hmm, I wonder where the others are? I hope they didn't got trick or treating without me."
Somewhere, in the realms of Oblivion, Sheogorath was laughing his crazy head off."
*** Chase The Criminal ***
Chase could feel the sweat pouring down his neck as he stared at the task in front of him. He could feel the others watching with anticipation, looking just as scared as Chase was. Well, all except a smug looking Zuma. Chase wished he could just take that smile and smack it off, but he had to focus.
It had been just a simple game of truth or dare, a game Zuma wanted to play, and he took it very seriously. So serious that when Chase was given a dare, Zuma dared him to do the one thing that Chase refused to ever do in his entire life: Break The Law.
He could feel his ansestors from the grave looking down at him in disapproval. Thirteen generations of loyal officers were in his blood and he was going to shame them.
"Chase, you don't have to do this!" Marshall pleaded with a whimper.
"Yeah, just take the punishment! Just accept the loss!" Rubble cried out.
"For Sirus sake, Chase! You can't do this!" Skye shouted before glaring at the smirking Zuma. "You're an evil pup, you know this, Zuma!"
"Eh, what I can I say. I love this game," Zuma said, shrugging. "Of course, if Chase wants to take his punishment for backing out, that's fine with me."
Chase shut his eyes and gritted his teeth. He couldn't do it. The punishment was even worse. Nobody wanted to play Doctor with Alex. The last ones to do it was Everest who quit the Paw Patrol, left Jake, and went out to live in the artic again. They still hadn't heard from her in three years.
"I can do this… I can do this…" Chase took a deep breath and, with his heart pounding, committed his first crime.
He stepped on the grass, doing his best to ignore the "Don't Step on The Grass" sign and waited for a full minute. A minute that felt like a lifetime. Finally, he gasped and jumped off, sighing in relief that it was all over.
The rest of the pups save for Zuma, all wrapped their paws around Chase and complimented him on doing a job well done. All Zuma could do was chuckle. "Sewiously? You were that worried over stepping on the gwass?"
"Well, then how about this!" Chase glared as he looked down at Zuma. "I dare you to commit a crime! Let's see how you like it!"
(Two Hours Later At Adventure Bay National Bank)
BANG! BANG!
"Everybody get down! This is a fricken robbery!" Zuma shouted in his ski-masked face while firing his Sub-Machine Gun in the air. Screams erupted as everybody went down on the floor. "Okay! Rubble, get the money! Marshall, shoot anybody that even moves! We got 20 minutes until the police arrive! Move it!"
Outside, a stunned Chase, Rocky, and Skye watched as three of their friends started robbing the place.
"Um, shouldn't we stop them?" Skye asked.
"I think maybe we should just stick this one out…" Chase replied as Zuma whipped a security guard with his gun before exiting the bank with the others.
"What surprises me is that Marshall and Rubble agreed to do this," Rocky said.
Zuma paused in their getaway and rolled his eyes. "How else do you think Ryder gets his funding for all our gear? We've been doing this for years."
That only left more questions for the three pups as the criminal ones got in their getaway vehicle and drove off.
*** Ask The Pups Part 2 ***
Question: Who do you get along with the worst?
Chase
"Rocky. Why? He farts in his sleep. Whenever I'm next to him when we're camping out in the stairs or sleeping outside of our pup houses, I get a full blast of that vegan kibble he like so much. I swear, I almost died once and saw heaven just in my sights, but I got sent back at the last second. Seriously, next Christmas I am getting Rocky a butt plug."
Marshall
"I get the worst along with Tracker. Mostly, because I can't understand a word he fricken says. Don't assume I'm racist or anything, I vote Democrat after all, but would it kill him to learn English?"
Skye
"Everest is a bitch sometimes. I swear, I used to be the top girl in this group until she comes along and suddenly takes away my popularity. I didn't need another female to help me keep the boys in line. I'm more then enough. The worst was when she got skunked. Seriously, have some consideration for the rust of us you barbarian wolf looking whore!"
Rocky
"Marshall. He gets me wet. Enough said."
Zuma
"I guess if I had to be honest, I get the worst relationship would be with Rubble. He still hasn't fully forgiven me for that whole forgetting that stupid mega pup toy on his birthday. I swear, one of these days he's going to run me over with his rig."
Rubble
"Well, maybe if a certain lab managed to get the right toy, I wouldn't be preparing his grave site once and awhile."
Everest
"Oh, I don't get along bad with anyone, especially Skye. We're like such close friends and I think its fun that there are more girls on the team. I even think of her as a sister sometimes!"
Tracker
"Honestly, amigo, if I had to say anything, I would say Marshall. I think he stares at my la grupa and I am not into that stuff. I mean, Marshall is a nice amigo and all, but Creo que debería intentar con alguien más, como Chase."
Tuck
"I just met everyone, how would I dislike any of them?"
Ella
"Skye, because I caught her writing wincest shipping with me and my brother."
