Chapter 12: New and Improved
Ryder and the pups were closing in on Rocky, as was Pedz and her Helicopter. But Rocky knew he was being followed and decided to go deep in the forest where the PAW Patroller nor Helicopter could not find or follow him.
"Wendy I'm coming!" Rocky mumbled to himself quickening his pace to a fast walk, although every step he took spread agonizing pain throughout his body. Nether the less he kept going forward.
The PAW Patroller pulled up at the edge of the forest.
"Chase see if you can pick up his trail." Ryder instructed walking out of the PAW Patroller.
Chase nodded and went off ahead but stopped, "Ryder sir, the rain washed his scent away."
Ryder rubbed his chin before turning to the rest of the pups apart from Everest and Marshall. "Alright, Skye I need you to search from the air, call if you spot him."
"Sure Ryder." She smiled. "Ruff! Wings!" Before she could fly off Chase stopped her.
"Be careful." He kissed her passionately, Ryder coughed causing him to blush. "Ugh, sorry Skye."
"That's ok Chase, you're cute." Skye chuckled licking his cheek then flew off.
"Dude you and a Skye awe totally made fow each othew." Zuma says, only making Chase blush even more.
Ryder laughs, kneeling down patting Chase's head. "Don't worry Chase, Skye will be fine."
"What about Rocky?" Rubble asks concern filling his voice. "He's still hurt Ryder."
"I know Rubble, which is why we have to find him and fast." Ryder stood up. "We go on foot,"
"You mean paws." Natalie added grinning before approaching Ryder. "I can track Rocky,"
Chase raises a brow. "What makes you think, if I can't sniff him out you can?"
"Tracks." Natalie lifted a paw and pointed behind Chase.
Chase mentally face palmed himself.
Zuma chuckled. "Chase dude, don't let a chick win you're better then anyone."
"I heard that!" Natalie frowned passing Chase and Zuma. "I just used my eyes not my nose."
Chase growled, he was beginning to not like Natalie.
"Don't feel bad Chase." Rubble stood beside him.
Silvera walked up next to Ryder. "Mate I know this Park like the back of my hand, so I'm coming with you. The sooner we find Rocky, the sooner we can rescue my team."
Ryder nodded. "We could use your help anyway."
"Bonza!" Silvera says in her with her Australian accent and clapped picking up a backpack and placed it on her back. "Come on then."
"Lets go pups!" Ryder instructed, as the began to follow Chase and Natalie who were following Rocky's tracks.
Pedz Helicopter in the meantime was flying above the forest, Everest's and Marshall's pups were sound asleep on their bed. Marshall on the other hand was staring out the window looking at the forest below.
"It's hard to believe a month ago this forest was on fire." John says pulling a chair up next to Marshall. "You ok pal?" he asks.
Marshall half smiles. "Yeah I'm ok,"
"You're not worried about Rocky are you?" Everest questions sitting on Pedz lap, Marshall looks over at here. "Why? Why do you care about him? He tried to kill you.." She flinches when she tried to move.
"Sh, you need to rest." Pedz kissed her forehead causing her to mumble something beneath her breath. "You pups will need you to be well so you can take care of them."
"My-Lady is right." John says petting Marshall's head.
"I am always right John." She chuckles putting Everest on the bed next to her pups before walking over to a TV Screen.
Marshall turned and looked at her. "What are you doing?"
"You will see." Pedz winked, then pressed a button. "Voice activation."
"Activated, greetings Pedz." A male's voice came through the speakers throughout the helicopter.
Both Marshall and Everest looked confused.
Pedz chuckles. "This is a computer program I've been working on," she turned back to the screen, pressing a button she says. "Scan for any life forms that are the size of a Mix-Breed pup."
"Scanning in process stand by."
"You might want to look out of the window." Pedz pointed, and Marshall peered out the window.
A series of green flashes, spread out from the Helicopter.
"Wow! That's cool!" Marshall wagged his tail but yelped when he accidentally put pressure on his paw.
Pedz shook her head. "Careful."
"Scanning completed, 3 possible life forms detected."
"Put them on the screen." Pedz instructed.
"Transfer in progress."
The Tv screen turned black, then a radar appeared showing 3 white dots.
Pedz rubbed her chin looking at the dots. "We have 3 choices, oh!" She clicked her fingers. "I know! Identify the one heading towards Ranger HQ, at least that's where I think Rocky's heading."
"Scanning... Scanning... Complete, one possible life form detected NNW of our current location."
"That thing is smart." Everest says laying beside her pups. "Pedz you created that right?"
"I did."
"Wow, I can see you're Ryder's sister." Everest chuckles, causing Marshall and John to both giggle.
Pedz patted Everest's head. "Indeed, now John tell the pilot to change our direction."
The computer comes through the speakers again saying, "Auto Pilot activated, heading set to NNW direction, ETA 20 minutes."
"Ok, I did not know it can do that." Pedz laughs, "Guess I may have over done it a tad with my helicopter's upgrades"
"You rule Pedz." Everest smiles resting her head down then licks her front paw.
Pedz giggled. "Thank you Everest, now John get the packs ready."
"At once My-Lady." John replies walking over to the back of the helicopter, into a small room.
Marshall tilted his head. "Packs?"
"Mhm, I thought it is only fair that I help my brother out."
"Huh?" Marshall looks at Everest who shrugs.
John returns with a Red pack. "Here you go My-Lady."
Pedz smiles taking the pack and puts it beside Marshall. "I did plan on surprising you all at once, but here I have had this custom built for you Marshall."
"What is it?" Everest asks curiously.
"It's his new pup-pack, I thought instead of you having two pup-packs why not make it into one. So here it is," Pedz knelt down. "It has everything both your EMT and fire gear has, I made a few improvements such as your X-ray screen, you no longer have an X-ray Screen, instead you have X-ray goggles. Just look at the injured person or pup and your goggles will automatically scan them for any injures."
A grin grew on Marshall's face as he got into the pup-pack. "Wow it fits really good, thank you Pedz."
"You are most welcome Marshall, and also I've added a small rope ladder to it rather then having to use your truck all the time for climbing, you can now use this rope ladder." Pedz explains patting his head. "I have a pup-pack custom build for Zuma and Chase, I am still working on Rubble's, Rocky's Zuma's and your's Everest."
"Aw thanks Pedz," Everest looks over at Marshall. "You look really handsome in that."
Marshall felt heat rising to his cheeks. "I can't wait to try it out!"
John chuckles as does Pedz who says, "I have a feeling you will be trying it out sooner then you think."
"I hope Rocky's smarter then trying to get to Wendy in his condition." Marshall sighs, "I shouldn't have let him go."
"You did not have a choice Marshall, besides you should be here with your mate and pups." Pedz kissing his forehead. "But not to worry, this Helicopter will take us straight to him."
Marshall turns and looks out of the window. "Why Rocky, why try the impossible."
"Nothing is impossible if you believe strong enough Marshall." Pedz walks over to him, and stares out the window. "Hopefully we get to him in-time."
Marshall was thinking the same, he knew with Rocky's injuries there was no way he would even make it half way.
To be continued.
