Despite his confusion of the overall situation, Zuma had every intent on keeping his promise to Misty. However, he was still bothered by how she reacted when she told him. She seemed scared, maybe even terrified of something happening to her. If she was in danger, he was going to do everything he could to protect her.

The morning he ate very little and decided to head to the pier anyway to see her, but there was no sighting of her. He waited for little over an hour before giving up, deciding to see her late tonight like she asked.

When he arrived home, the pups were quick to see his depressed expression. Marshall was the first to asked, "Hey Little Bro, everything ok?"

"I don't know…" admitted Zuma, shrugging his shoulders. "Something doesn't feel wight. Or at least I'm afwaid it won't feel right." He quickly told them what happened last night and the others began to ponder with him as well.

"That is kinda strange. I mean, Misty was having so much fun when she was here," said Skye, thinking about her joyful smiles and laughs at the party.

"It sounds she forgot something important and had to tell you, Zuma," deducted Chase. "Could she be wanting to head home to her pack?"

Zuma bit his lip. He had thought of that, but that was what worried him the most. What if she weally does want to leave me?

"Maybe we can search for her together?" asked Rocky to which the other pups nodded.

"Really, you guys do that for me?" asked Zuma with a smile.

"Sure thing, buddy! We like Misty too and we pups are there for each other!" said Rubble as the others barked in agreement.

However, before anyone could do anything, all their dog tags lit up at once followed by Ryder's voice. "Paw Patrol! To the Lookout!"

They didn't shout out their usual catchphrase and instead looked at each other with worry and then towards Zuma who was torn by what to do. He wanted desperately to look for Misty, but he knew he had a duty to help those in need. Chase, as if sensing his torn loyalties, quickly said, "Let's head up to Ryder and see whose needed for the mission. The ones who aren't needed can look for Misty."

"What about Ryder's rule of not leaving the Lookout?" asked Rocky.

Chase looked back at a pleading Zuma before nodding. "I'll accept full responsibility as second in command."

Zuma launched his paws around Chase's neck and nuzzled him. "Thanks, Chase! I owe you!"

After breaking the hug, the team rushed towards the elevator. However, as usual, Marshall missed his step upon leading the team and cause the rest of the pups to trip over him and roll into the elevator before slamming face first into the glass. Marshall, the last to enter, chuckled nervously and said, "Well, at least we got in faster."

"And yet my nose feels like it's about to pound into my skull," muttered Rocky as he rubbed his muzzle.

The elevator soon rose up and the pups quickly put on their gear before continuing the ride. When they reach the top of the Lookout, where Ryder was waiting for them, they all jumped out and stood in attention. Chase, their leader, spoke for them as he stated, "Paw Patrol ready for action, Ryder sir!"

The serious look on Ryder's face never changed as he pressed his pup pad and showed what look to be a town with a dam nearby. "Pups, we got a serious emergency this time. The nearby town of Watercreek has a dam that collapsed and is flooding the town! Combined with the fact that his town is near the ocean and its going to be hide tide eventually and we're looking at a big flood."

The six of them all gasped in shock as the thought of such destruction raging in such a small town brought fear into their minds. "Are the town's people okay?!" asked Marshall.

Shaking his head, Ryder sadly replied, "We've already got a list of causalities, and many more are injured. Rescuers are already on the scene but we've been called in to help. Everyone is going to have to pitch in for this one. I already sent Everest and Jake ahead to help with evacuations into the nearby mountains for the townsfolk. We're all going to be taking the Paw Patroler to help out."

While Zuma felt upset that this meant none of them could look for Misty, he realized that the real focus should be on the poor people of Watercreek. He pushed aside his feelings and took a deep breath. "We're weady to do what we can, Wyder."

"Good to hear, Zuma." Ryder then showed each of their tags one by one and explained the plan. Marshall, Zuma, and Chase were going to be part of the rescue team to help anybody trapped or stuck in the rubble from the floor. Getting people out of their homes and to one of the safe zones was the priority. Marshall would also bring his EMT puppack just in case he was needed to help people medically with the Red Cross. Skye would be aerial support and recon, reporting anything that she could see in the air. Rubble would be using his rig to move any debris around so that it would be easier for people and vehicles to move around. Finally, Rocky was going to work with the construction workers on doing what they can to fix the dam.

"Everybody know their assignments?" asked Ryder to which all the pups nodded. "Alright, Paw Patrol is on a roll!"

Call the situation a disaster was an understatement. It was full blown chaos. What little of the area that wasn't completely devastated by the flood provided very few paths for Marshall, Rubble, and Chase with their vehicles. The water would take too long to dry out, leaving Skye, Zuma, and Ryder with his jetski to search around the wet areas of the town while the others did their best outside of the town area.

Zuma gazed his eyes over towards the big broken dam in the distance. From what Skye could report from above, anything 100 miles from it was completely wiped out and most of the causalities were from that area. Zuma had seen death before on this job, you couldn't always save everyone. That didn't mean he enjoyed seeing it.

At least I haven't seen any dead floating bodies, thought Zuma, trying to keep a mostly positive set of thoughts while dealing with all this. So far he and Ryder had come across multiple people who needed help back to the medical camp area through the watery streets. Sometimes they had to call in a chopper to evacuate as well.

Avoiding a low branch. Zuma continued to keep his eyes and ears ready for any sign of a struggling civilian. All the while, he kept glancing at the clock in front of him. It was getting late into the afternoon, and he feared that he was going to break his promise to Misty if they didn't hurry things up. He knew that he shouldn't be putting his girlfriend above his duties, especially with so many lives at stake, but he couldn't help it.

I got a really bad feeling about this, thought Zuma. She looked so nervous and scared. I'll even say that I saw shame in her eyes. What could be wrong?

"Zuma, look over there!" shouted Ryder, waking the pup from his thoughts. He was pointing to what looked like a near collapsing house that was slowly sinking into the water. On top of it was a little girl, who looked be no older the Alex's age, and her black furred kitty. She was waving with a white sheet in her hands upon spotting both Ryder and Zuma. "Come on!"

Ryder drove his jetski faster as did Zuma with his hovercraft, although they took it slow upon getting closer to the near fallen house that was creaking every few seconds. "You okay, little giwl?" asked Zuma,

"Y-yes! Can you get me out of here?! I wanna get back to my Mommy!" shouted the girl as she held on to her kitty who was meowing in fear of the water.

"It's going to be okay," reassured Ryder. "Can you jump into my pup's hovercraft?"

"I… I don't know," whispered the girl, shivering.

"What if I jump with you? Will that be okay?" asked Zuma, to which the little girl nodded. She held onto her kitty as tight as she could while Zuma jumped up onto the roof of the building and walked over to her. Gently walking right next to her, the two faced the empty hovercraft. "Are you weady? Three. Tw-"

Before he could even finish, Zuma could already feel the roof ready to break. Acting on instinct he pushed the girl off into his hovercraft before the roof below him broke apart. "Zuma!" shouted Ryder's voice as Zuma felt himself fall into the cold water while rubble from the house fell apart around him.

He tried to swim, but something big hit him on the head and he blacked out in an instant.
