CLAW JOINS THE PAW PATROL! (TEMPORARILY!)
(NEXT DAY/LOOKOUT TOWER/0930HRS)
Claw stood in Chases spare police outfit and pup pack, Chase, still with his ribs bandaged was in mild shock "Dang, I make that outfit look good, but you went and made it look grand anyways Claw-." Chase drew in a careful breath before he continued his small speech "- Anyways, I will teach you in just the same method you taught me, brace yourself for hard, fast, and relentless training. Now get ready for the obstacle course!" Claw looks out at the obstacle course as Ryder blew the whistle.
(TIME SKIP 5 MIN LATER)
Claw aced the course in better fashion than any could have hoped. Chases jaw dropped because he broke Chases record which stood at 05:24, Claw broke it at 04:53 Chase walked up and says "Very good Claw." Chase suddenly looks up at the top of the lookout tower and shouts "Save that man before he commits suicide!" Claw looks up to see Ryder push a crash test dummy over the railing Claw barks out the net but he misjudges and winces as the dummy hits the net halfway, causing the dummy to bounce off, cartwheel and then its head to hit the pavement with a hard 'SMACK!' Chase is livid at Claws failure, screaming despite his ribs flaring in pain from each line of angry dismay "WHAT WAS THAT CLAW?! IF THAT WERE A REAL PERSON THEY WOULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW! GET YOUR HEAD RIGHT! THIS IS NOT A TIME OR PLACE WHERE YOU CAN GUESS AND GET HALF WAY RIGHT BY DUMB LUCK! YOU GUESS WRONG AND PEOPLE DIE!" Claw hangs his head and walks off in shame. Chase decides to follow and give some advice on how to aim the net. Claw looks at him snarling and screams "OH IS THAT ALL?! YOU HAVE TRAINED IN THIS STUFF ALL YOUR LIFE! I AM NOT CUT OUT FOR THIS, NEVER WILL BE!" Chase, seeing this doubt decided to have Ryder help him put on his spare pup pack. Chase carefully jogs up and says "I will personally assists in teaching you, if you can find yourself ready to continue training." Claw smiles because Chase is putting forth the effort in training him, not just yelling at him like a drunkard what he done wrong anymore.
(TIME SKIP-PLACE CHANGE/1830HRS)
Back on the Adventure Bay bridge Mr. Porter was bringing food to the destination when the left front tire blew out, causing the van to swerve to the left, causing Mr. Porter to over correct to the right, causing the van to tip over and roll over and land on its side while Mr. Porter is knocked out behind the wheel, the van comes to a stop with the gas tank facing the traffic, a car hits the delivery vans gas tank, rupturing it, spilling gas all over the road leaving about 1/8 of it in the tank. The person who was driving the car behind the accident called the local emergency services, which was the paw patrol.
(TIME SKIP/1832HRS)
Chase smiles, watching Claw as he does all the pup pack functions like a rookie police pup. Claw is now good enough that Chase is comfortable with sending Claw out in his place; Good thing, cause Ryders pup pad just started ringing, causing Ryder mashes the center to accept the call. After taking in the report from the person who called in the accident he ends the call, pulls out a special panel with a button in the middle and mashes it causing the pup tag radios to light up and the pups all stop what they are doing and start running for the lookout without second thought. All are gathered in the elevator, even Claw as he notices Marshall is not there when from out of nowhere Marshall comes sliding clumsily sliding and yelling "LOOKOUT!" causing the group to pile to the sides as he slides past the entry door and crashes into the glass wall of the elevator behind the group. Marshall pulls away from where he headbutted the safety glass and shakes his head and says "I'm good." The doors close behind them as the group settles down and begins to ascend to the half way point where they stopped and the door opens to a few metal shelf and they gather their gear (except for Chase and Claw who are already dressed.) and they dressed quickly helping each other as needed. when they were done Chase instructed Claw to hit the button on the side wall next to the shelf where their rescue gear was, causing the door to close again and continue to the top and stop with a "DING." and the pups run out and stop on their assigned spots (behind the group from left to right(behind view): Skye, Rocky, Chase, Rubble, Zuma, Marshall, in front of them is Ryder) Claw just runs and stops next to Marshall in Chases spare police outfit. "AHEM!...Claw!" Claw looked at the source of the noise to see it was Chase calling him over to his own side as the group makes room in the center between him and Rocky. Chase smiles and says "Over here." Claw quickly makes the line right and sits like the rest of them as Ryder begins the mission briefing "Thanks for coming so fast, Mr. Porters van overturned on the bridge and he is hurt and the gas tank busted and spilled most of it on the bridge.-" Ryder begins to mash on his pad causing Claws and Chases pup tag emblems to come up on the screen side by side as he continues his briefing "-Claw and Chase, I want you both to use the police gear to stop traffic on both ends of the bridge Claw will handle the heavier traffic side while Chase gets the lighter side because he is hurt, got it?" Claw and Chase both say almost at the same time - Chase "Yes sir." Claw "You got it sir." - Ryder continues the briefing by bringing a picture of Marshalls tag "Marshall, prepare your truck for Class B extinguisher and your pack for medical emergencies; Stand by for the wounded after we make the scene safe." Next was Rocky "Rocky, you are responsible for getting up the gas so it doesn't explode." After that was Rubble "Rubble, after we make the gas spill safe and get out Mr. Porter you use your rig to move the van back up right." Lastly he brought up a picture of Zuma and Skye's pup tags and gives them their assignments "Zuma, stand by incase if anyone goes into the water, Skye you will stand by in case you have to air lift the patient to the hospital after Marshall stabilizes their condition." And with the last assignments he does his mobilization catchphrase "PAW PATROL IS ON A ROLL!" Chase and Claw go first down the slide and they both land in Chases police vehicle and as the moving circular pad moves and all the pups fall into their vehicles and wait for Ryder to launch from his underground launch bay, Ryders vehicle comes out of his bay, heading for the Bridge, causing all the pups takes off at top speed for the bridge. And as they arrived at the bridge, they were in for a real headache because the traffic was backed up behind both sides of the bridge. With Ryders instructions the rescue goes off without a hitch (Skye and Zuma are not needed.) Mr. Porter is lightly wounded with a dislocated shoulder and a cut head from the crash. After about 3 hours the rescue, cleaning up the mess and making sure the traffic is back running smoothly the Paw Patrol returns to the lookout.
(PRINCESSES BEDROOM/2251HRS)
The princess finished putting on her PJ'S and looked at Claw, who removes the last of his armor just before he bid her good night and turned around to leave when Catherine asks "Where will you sleep Claw?" Claw looks back over his shoulder in reply "I don't know princess, but I will rest and be ready for what ever tomorrow brings." The princess looks at him and frowns then she has an idea "You will sleep with me, just like the old days, on my bed... And Claw, in light of what you have done in the last 2 days, you have proven yourself worthy of being forgiven of your previous failures, I reinstate your knighthood at once." The Doberman grins in glee and shouts "THANK YOU, YOUR MAJESTY!" The princess offers him a space on her bed by patting it as she settles in for the night, Claw jumps up and curls up on the foot of the bed and at once goes to sleep when he has a strange dream.
(CLAWS DREAM)
Claw is running toward the princess in the black nothingness, while Catherine's head is in a guillotine and about to be executed. Claw screams at the top of his lungs as the blade falls and he uses his pup pack sword and as it goes through the throwing motions he orders his sword to detach the sword, causing it to fly toward the falling blade. The sword jams and stops the blade from cutting off her head. Claw runs around to her head and tries to push out her head, but it was no use as the sword from his pack begins to crack from the weight of the blade against his sword. The princess looks at Claw and gives him a piece of information that would become clear later. "THE BOOK IS THE ANSWER!" The sword breaks and the blade falls and cuts off her head as the last words leave her mouth.
(END CLAWS DREAM/0024HRS)
Claw shoots up gasping on the bed in the princesses temporary room in the lower level to find her asleep. Claw looks at her asleep in her bed and the smile that forms on his face is unable to contain itself as he thinks 'I have to stop the Duke alone at all costs, even if it means my life.' Claw looks upon Catherine's sleeping form and lightly licks the princesses face one time and quickly, quietly leaves the room.
(OUTSIDE THE LOOKOUT)
Claw wakes up Sparks quietly and says "Let's go back buddy." Sparks stands and groans from the dark time of night as he obediently follows the order as Claw climbs up and sparks takes off as soon as the knight is in the saddle correctly. Looking at the tower one last time as it fades behind the horizon into the midnight darkness, he turns forward as he makes his vow 'no one else innocent will die before me because of my mistakes. I will make sure because this is not a promise but a sacred vow.'
