Tuck slowly awoke, as he opened his eyes, he found himself in a padded room, along with his legs being cuffed together. He tried to remember what happened, only to remember him talking to Ryder before everything went dark.

"Come on think." Tuck grumbled to himself. "How did I get in this room?"

"Harold drug you into it." Answered a familiar voice.

"Ella!" Tuck yelled as he ran towards the window. "Where are you?"

"I'm in cell No. 10" Answered Ella. "You're in No. 11.

"What about the others?" Tuck asked with concern.

"I'm in cell No. 2." Chase said flatly.

"Cell No. 4." Answered Skye.

"I'm in No. 5." Whined Rocky.

"No. 6 is mine." Rubble coldly answered.

"I'm hewe in No. 7." Squeaked Zuma before starting to cry.

"Stuck in No. 8." Answered Everest.

"Alright, so everyone is here except for Marshall and Tracker?" Chase flatly asked.

"I guess so." Answered Skye. "What's it matter, they'll be joining us soon anyway."

"We can't let Ember get Marshall." Tuck said sternly.

"Why not?" Questioned Zuma. "She alweady has all of us."

"Because, if she gets Marshall," Tuck started. "She's gonna… g… gonna…" Tuck stuttered, unable to finish the sentence.

"She's gonna kill him." Rocky said coldly, finishing Tuck's sentence.

"WHAT!" Screamed the pups in unison in unison minus Tuck and Rocky.

"You're kidding right Tuck?" Questioned Chase.

"Ember isn't that crazy right?" Added Everest.

"Suwely Ember wouldn't." Contested Zuma.

"I'm afraid it's true." Answered Ella. "Tuck, Rocky, and myself heard Ember say it first hand.

"If that's the case, we have to warn Ryder." Whined Everest.

"But how?" Tuck asked as he looked at his broken pup tag.

Meanwhile back in Adventure Bay:

Ryder, Jake, Carlos, Marshall, and Tracker were working hard on a plan to get into Ember's compound to place her under arrest and to save the others. Marshall and Ryder were working on spy gear for everyone, while Jake, Carlos, and Tracker were studying the compound from satellite images.

"How's the gear coming Ryder?" Jake radioed from the top floor of the Lookout.

"It's going good Jake." Ryder answered happily. "Find any easy ways into the compound?"

"None yet dude." Jake answered in a defeated tone. "There has to be a weak spot though."

"Keep looking, you guys will find something." Ryder said in a reassuring tone.

"Will do dude." Jake said happily.

After several hours of hard work, Ryder and the others were suited up and almost ready to put their plan into action.

"Alright," Ryder began as he pulled up a map on the computer screen. "We will take the Air Patroller as far as we can before we're in eyesight of it, and we will travel the rest by foot. Once we get inside the compound's wall, we will enter through the Eastside door, here (Ryder points to the map where the door is). Once inside, we will split into two groups. Marshall is with me, and the three of you are the other group. The three of you are to find the others and free them and take them back to the Air Patroller, while myself and Marshall apprehend Ember and whoever else is an accomplice to her."

Ryder looked at the four faces looking back at him, each gave a slight impression that they were unsure of this, but otherwise said they were ready.

"Who's ready to get our friends back?" Ryder enthusiastically asked.

"WE ARE!" Yelled everyone in unison.

"Good, we leave at sundown." Ryder said as a grin grew across his face.

The group waited patiently for the sun to set over the ocean's horizon. After what felt like an eternity, the sun finally began to set.

"Looks like it's time to rock." Ryder said as he got up from his chair.

"Let's do it!" Tracker excitedly said.

"Everyone got everything they need?" Marshall asked as the group headed for the door.

"Wait a second!" Ryder said a little louder than he had wanted. "I forgot something."

Ryder ran back into the elevator before disappearing to the basement of the Lookout. No sooner did Ryder vanish, did he reappear as the elevator came to a stop and opened its doors, only he had a small burlap bag with him.

"Alright, I'm ready now." Huffed Ryder as he tried to catch his breath.

"You good Ryder?" Marshall asked as a concerned look formed on his face.

"Yeah, I'm good." Ryder said with a smile, even though he didn't feel it.

With that, the group walked over to the Air Patroller and got settled into their seats. Robo Dog was back to looking like his normal self and was sitting in the pilot's seat. Ryder sat in the captain's chair, while the others sat two and two on the bench seats.

"Ready to take off?" Ryder asked Robo Dog.

"Arf!" Answered Robo Dog with a nod.

"To Foggy Bottom!" Ryder commanded.

Robo Dog proceeded to fire up the engines and after a few last-minute checks from Ryder, the Air Patroller left for Foggy Bottom. Once the group was in the air, the overall mood was so thick even a knife would have a hard time cutting it. Everyone remained quiet, staring at the floor until Marshall spoke up.

"Ryder?" Marshall said causing Ryder to jump a little and turn his attention to the speckled pup. "What was it you forgot anyways?

"Oh, I forgot these," Ryder answered as he picked up the burlap bag and showed Marshall the contents inside.

"It's the other's pup tags." Marshall happily said.

"Yeah, I figured the others would want them back sooner than later." Ryder said as he scratched his head.

"I just hope that they ARE happy to see us." Carlos said flatly, still looking at the floor.

"What do you mean amigo?" Asked Tracker.

"It's been almost a week since Chase was taken, who knows what kind of mood he or the others are in." Carlos answered flatly.

"They'll be happy to see us." Said Ryder confidently, even though he was unsure himself.

Before any of the group could question how the others would take seeing them, Robo Dog started to descend the Air Patroller from the sky.

"Looks like we're almost there." Ryder said as he turned his attention to the front windows. "Robo Dog, activate stealth mode."

"Arf." Barked Robo Dog as he pushed a button.

"Alright, guys this is it." Ryder shakily said. "Just a short walk till we reach the compound."

Soon the Air Patroller was on the ground safely and Ryder and the others were putting on the last of their gear. Once everyone was completely suited up, Ryder stopped and looked at the others and quietly asked, "Everyone ready?"

"Right!" Answered the others quietly.

The group slowly worked their way through the forest that surrounded the compound. After about ten minutes of walking, the group was at the wall that surrounded the compound.

"Alright, I'll go over first." Ryder whispered as he threw a rope over the wall.

Ryder carefully climbed up the wall, followed by Marshall, Tracker, Carlos, and Jake. Once everyone was over the wall, Ryder noticed something felt off.

"Wait a second guys." Ryder said causing everyone to look at him. "Shouldn't the lights be on?"

Before anyone could answer, all of the lights flicked on, blinding the group.

"It's a trap!" Yelled Carlos.

"Quick scatter!" Yelled Jake.

But before any of them could, they heard a familiar voice that made them freeze.

"Don't run." Bawled Chase. "Don't run, just do as Ember says."

"Yes, do as Ember says." Ember parroted before laughing maniacally.
