Chapter 11: Hatred (Part 2)
Ryder and the rest of the pups, plus Silvera and her rangers had been looking for Marshall, Rocky and Pedz. But so far they had no such luck finding them.
"Ryder, it's getting late mate" Silvera looks at her watch with a sigh. "It'll be dark soon, we won't find them in the dar-"
"NO! We can't give up!" Everest cried feeding her pups.
Chase nodded in agreement. "We're the PAW Patrol we don't give up!"
"Yeah!" Zuma, Rubble and Skye all said together.
"The pups are right, Silvera I appreciate your concern but Marshall and Rocky are my pups too, I won't leave them." Ryder turned to Robo dog. "Step on it!"
Robo Dog barked and pushed his foot on the accelerator
Everest wiped a stray tear from her cheek, before looking down at Eclipse who was cuddling up to her.
"Everest, I'm sure Marshall is fine. But you need to rest." Anna placed a blanket over Everest and her pups. "You're still recovering from giving birth,"
"But he's out there, he could be hurt or worse! What if h-he is-" She hiccuped. "W-what if he's-"
"No! Don't think like that" Anna put her hand on Everest's head. "Marshall's a fighter."
"Anna, He's out there with Rocky..." She looks up into Anna's eyes, "I-I I'm scared."
"Do you trust Marshall?"
Everest nodded.
"Then trust that he'll take care of himself, he'll be next to you sooner then you think" Anna smiled kissing her head. "Now rest."
And Everest did, within 5 minutes she was sound asleep.
Anna then approached Ryder. "I'm worried, Everest doesn't need stress right now."
"We have to find them Wyder" Zuma looked out of the window.
Ryder smiled. "And we will find them, don't worry."
Just as those words left Ryder's mouth, Robo Dog suddenly hit the brakes.
"Woah!" Silvera almost lost her balance.
Ryder looked out of the front window, he gasped.
There on the Edge of the Canyon stood none other then Pedz.
As soon as the door opened Ryder followed by his pups and the Rangers ran out to meet her.
"Pedz! You're ok!" Ryder embraced her in a hug.
She hugged back but soon let go on him. "Brother-"
"where's Marshall?" Everest asks standing inside the PAW Patroller.
"And Rocky?" Skye added.
Pedz sighed, closing her eyes she opened them and pointed her hand down inside the Canyon. "Rocky jumped, and Marshall went after him."
"Bloody hell," Silvera cursed. "My apologizes, didn't mean to say that mates."
"It's fine, pups we need to find them and fast." Ryder looked down at Skye.
She nodded. "This pups gonna fly! I'll call if I find them." Skye ran inside the PAW Patroller got her pup-pack on, but before she could take off Chase pulled her in for a hug.
"Be careful." He kisses her cheek then forehead.
"I will" Skye smiles kissing him back. "Ruff! Ruff! Wings!" She barked before taking off.
"Chase, get your drone airborne." Ryder insctructed.
"Right," Chase went and got his Vehicle, transforming it from the police cruiser to his spy vehicle. "Drone! Launch!."
His drone headed in the same direction as Skye.
Everest felt tears forming in her eyes, she looks back at her pups who were all sleeping.
"They'll find him Everest," Anna picked her up and placed her on a pup-bed. "You need to rest"
"How can I rest when Marshall's out there?" She sighs laying down.
Anna sat beside her, while examining her she says. "You trust Ryder and the other pups right?"
"Yes"
"And how about us Rangers? Do you trust us?"
"Well yes,"
"And Pedz?" Anna examined Everest's belly, she smiled.
"Yes"
"Then trust that they'll find Marshall, alive. So don't worry about a thing" She says patting Everest's head. "Rest now."
Everest sighs, closing her eyes. "Please be ok Marshall, I need you, your pups need you."
Else where, Rocky groaned slowly opening his eyes to find he had be washed up on the side of the river's edge. He tried to stand up but yelped, his head aching, his side aching, everything hurt.
"I hate my life." He mumbled, pulling himself away from the water.
But then he saw him, Marshall laying face first in the river.
"Marshall!" Rocky yelled out trying to stand to his paws. "Hold on!" But no matter how hard he tried to stand he just couldn't.
Within seconds a blue poodle ran passed him at high speeds, she seemed to come from nowhere. The poodle reached Marshall and began to pull him gently out of the water, before walking over to Rocky.
"Are you alright?" She asked pulling Marshall next to him.
Rocky shook his head. "I-I can't move everything hurts, b-but is he ok?"
The poodle looked down at Marshall, and examined his injuries. "I think he is alright, just unconscious."
"You saved him," A smile appeared on Rocky's face.
"Indeed I did, what is your name?" She asked sitting beside both pups.
"Rocky, you?"
She grinned, "I am called Natalie."
"Nice to-ugh, ow, Meet you" Rocky says trying to stand.
"I do not think you should move." Natalie forced him to lay down. "Do not worry, I will help your friend. What is his name?"
"Marshall, and he's not my friend.." Rocky sighed. "At least I don't think we're friends."
Natalie tilted her head to the side. "Oh? Why is that?"
"I don't want to talk about it." He said closing his eyes.
"Alright then," Natalie didn't want to push the subject any further so she asks. "What happened? How did you end up in that river?"
"I-I-jumped..."
Natalie's eyes widened, "Why on earth did you do that?"
Rocky shook his head. "Because I wanted to die."
"Life is a precious thing, one should cherish it not want to end it."
"You don't understand, no-one understand!" Rocky yells opening his eyes staring into Natalie's green ones. "I'm sorry, didn't mean to yell at you."
"It's alright," She smiles, then looked at Marshall's collar. "And him? How did he get in the river?"
Rocky shrugs, "I don't know, I guess he followed me."
"Oh," Natalie looked a bit confused.
A sound of engines was heard from up river.
Rocky looked in the direction the noise was coming from he found the strength to stand up.
"What are you doing? And wha-"
"I don't want to go back! I want to go to Wendy!" Rocky walked backwards a few feet before stumbling over. "Don't let them find me, please."
"Who? Let who find you?" Natalie stood to her paws as Marshall opened his eyes. "Why hello there sleepy head"
Marshall coughed, "Um hi? Where am- Rocky?" his eyes met Rocky's.
Rocky continued to back away. "M-Marshall,"
"Where are you going?" Marshall asked as Rocky turned around.
"Wendy." Is all Rocky said before slowly walking away.
"W-wait!" Marshall yells out struggling to his paws only to fall over. "Rocky please."
Natalie helped Marshall stand up. "Take it easy."
"No, please I-I can't let Rocky go! He'll die if his injuries aren't treated." Marshall's voice was filled with worry. "Help me go after him."
"Alright then, I'm Natalie."
"Mar-"
"Marshall, I know Rocky told me." She said, lightly chuckling. "Let's go get him."
Marshall nodded leaning on the Poodle for support. "How did you get out here in the Park?" he asked seeing Rocky a fair distance ahead.
"Well, I am a stray" Natalie lied. "I walked here."
"But you have blue spots, never seen a blue Poodle before or any pup." Marshall looks at the white Poodle, with blue spots. "How is that possible?"
"My old owners thought it would look nice if they dyed my fur." Natalie shrugged. "My fur has never grown out"
Marshall nodded, "I see"
"Marshall!" Skye yelled, landing beside him.
Natalie stopped, as Skye hugged Marshall.
"Skye, I'm fine but Rocky needs help... H-he ran away." He says sighing. "Can you call Ryder? My puptag is broken."
"Of course." Skye activated her tag. "Ryder? It's Skye are you there?"
"Hi Skye, did you find them?"
"Yes Ryder, well I found Marshall he's ok, but Ryder"
"Yes?"
"Rocky's ran away" Skye looked at Natalie who was helping Marshall stand.
Ryder was silent for a few seconds, but he replied. "Don't worry Skye, we'll find him. Where are you?"
"Just down the Canyon if you continue you'll find us." Skye replied looking down at Marshall front left paw, "You're bleeding Marshall!"
"He's what?" Ryder's voice came through with worry. "Never mind, just wait where you are."
"Will do Ryder." Skye ended the call.
Marshall looked at his paw as did Natalie. "I don't have my EMT gear."
Natalie's eyes looked behind them. "What is that?" She questions seeing, the PAW Patroller, along with Ryder on his ATV, and the pups driving towards them.
"It's Ryder! Over here!" Skye yelled jumping up and down. "Ryder!"
Ryder pulled up just in front of them as did the PAW Patoller, he ran over and knelt down next to Marshall. "You ok pups?"
"I'm fine." Marshall half smiled, "My paw is just injured b-"
Before Marshall could answer he was forced to the ground by Everest who bombarded his face with licks.
"I-I thought I lost you!" She cried, crashing her lips to Marshall's who chuckled against her.
Coughs caused them to separate, Anna was standing behind them holding Eclipse. "Everest, you're suppose to be resting!."
Everest blushed, "S-sorry Anna."
Ryder chuckled patting Marshall's head, then looked at Natalie. "Hello there, who might you be."
"I am Natalie,"
"She saved Rocky" Marshall says standing up.
Natalie smiled. "You must be Ryder, team leader of the PAW Patrol."
"How did you know that?" Ryder asked but nodded.
"Marshall told me." She replied
Marshall looked confused. "I didn't say t-"
"I believe Rocky needs to be found." Natalie cut him off.
"Why? Where did he go?" Chase questioned approaching them with Zuma and Rubble. "Not that I care."
"Suwe dude" Zuma smirked, causing Chase to roll his eyes. "Who's the pup? She's cute"
"Pups this is Natalie, she-"
A light shone above the group, they looked up to see a pink Helicopter.
Pedz appeared from the PAW Patroller, "John! You found us!"
"Of course I did My Lady" John yelled as the Helicopter landed nearby. "I'll always find you."
"Quite right." Pedz put her hand on Ryder's shoulder. "Do not worry brother, my Helicopter will find Rocky in no time."
"Terrific mate!" Silvera clapped, running over. "After we find him, Ryder some of my team are still trapped within our HQ"
"Don't worry Silvera, no job is too big, no pup is too small! When we get Rocky back safe and sound, the PAW Patrol will rescue your rangers." Ryder smiled, picking Marshall up. "Pups lets go inside the PAW Patroller."
"What about Natalie?" Chase asked standing next to Skye, he kissed her cheek causes her to blush.
Ryder looks at Natalie with a smile. "She can come with us."
"I-" Natalie started.
"I would not argue with my brother if I were you," Pedz chuckled going to her Helicopter.
"Pedz?" Everest said, Pedz turned around. "May I and my pups come with you."
"And me" Marshall added.
Pedz looked at Anna, "That's up to Anna not me."
Anna chuckled but looked at Silvera. "That's up to Silvera, she's my leader."
Everest groaned.
"It's fine with me mate" Silvera put her hand on Anna's shoulder. "Just be careful, I need you once we find Rocky, I don't know what state Kate and Brad are in."
Anna nodded and ran into the PAW Patroller, she placed Eclipse on the bed then picked it up transferring it over to Pedz Helicopter.
"We'll stay here with the PAW Patrol" Ranger's Mark and Michael said together.
Pedz picked up Everest, "Marshall can you walk?"
He nodded, and followed them into her Helicopter.
"Ryder?" Rubble walked up to him. "Does Rocky still think we hate him?"
"Do you?" Ryder questioned looking at the pups.
Chase nodded but Skye gave him the death stare, he sighed "I don't hate him," he coughed "Much."
"Chase!" Skye growled. "Don't be mean."
"Yeah!" Rubble agreed shaking his head.
"The dude did twy to kill Chase, and he totally attacked me." Zuma pointed out, "I don't blame Chase for not liking him."
"Regardless of Rocky's passed actions, we still need to find him." Ryder butted in.
Chase raised a brow. "Why?"
"Because he is hurt badly" Natalie stared at Chase. "I do not know the full story of what happened, but isn't rescuing what you all do?"
"Natalie's right, we rescue both big and small, human and pup alike. So we must find Rocky," Ryder knelt in-front of Natalie. "You seem like a smart pup, I'd like it if you hung around with us."
"I guess I can, I mean I have no other place to be or go" Natalie smiled wagging her tail.
Chase mumbled something beneath his breath.
"Alright pups, let's go find Rocky!" Ryder said, running into the PAW Patroller. The pups all followed him.
Rocky in the meantime, had walked out of the Canyon.
And started walking in the direction of Ranger HQ, little did he know he was heading for the Earthquakes Epicenter. And more so, towards something that could possibly be the end of the Recycling pup.
