Chapter 14: Shocking Surprise.

Marshall saw Rocky about to fall from above the tree tops, without thinking he managed to wiggle in way out of Pedz's arms.

"What are-" Pedz pauses when Marshall falls from her arms. "Marshall! Use your rope Ladder!" she yells out to him

Ryder, Silvera and the pups all hear Pedz yell and look up to see Marshall falling.

Marshall spots a branch hanging over the crack made by the Earthquake. "Ruff! Rope ladder!" his ladder springs out of his pup-pack, as he's passing the branch the ladder wraps around it.

"I didn't know Marshall's pup-pack did that." Skye says shocked filling her voice.

Ryder scratched his chin watching Marshall lower himself into the crack. "Neither did I."

Chase and Natalie both looked up at the branch Marshall's rope ladder was hooked around, the branch was beginning to snap.

"Do no even think about it." Natalie pushes Chase to the ground, "I will go."

"Marshall's my best friend, my brother I have to save hi-"

"And what of Rocky?" Natalie tilts her head, standing up.

Chase stares into her emerald green eyes. "I can't bring myself to forget what he did..."

"Marshall is risking his life for Rocky, does that no prove he somewhat cares for him?" She says in a calm voice, helping Chase stand up. He nods. "I do not know the full story but it indeed does sound as though Marshall is starting to forgive Rocky."

"I-I just can't forget" Chase closes his eyes, memories of Rocky's paw slamming down on Marshall's head and his own come flooding through his mind. "I was terrified, and still am! ok!? Chase the not so brave police pup is scared." Tears were threatening to fall, with his eyes still closed he spoke in a near whisper. "I'm scared that Rocky might try to harm my brother again, he could easily kill Marshall. I-I-I don't know what I'd do if that happens."

A paw is placed on Chase's shoulder, he lifts his head to once again stare into those green emerald eyes. "I will help you protect Marshall, even if it does mean I put my own life at risk, I promise you." She smiles before saying. "And Chase, you are braver then you think." With that, Natalie leaped over the edge of crack as the branch snapped in half.

"Natalie!" Chase tried to follow, but Ryder's hand hooked through his collar pulling him backwards.

Ryder engulfed the Shepherd in a hug. "Chase," his soft voice calmed Chase's nerves. "We'll rescue them, all of them."

"He's right, we are going to rescue them." Pedz grinned landing behind Silvera and the pups, she pressed a button on her suit and the parachute retracted into a pack-pack.

Rocky in the meantime, had fallen right into the Earthquakes epicenter. The crack was deep but luckily for him he landed on a pile on soft dirt mixed with sand, it acted as a cushion therefore he didn't get injured only knocked out.

Opening his eyes, he scanned his surroundings. "W-where am-" he was cut off by a yell from above.

"Rocky!"

"Marshall?" Rocky looked above him and saw Marshall holding onto what looked like a rope ladder. "What..."

Marshall flashed him a smile. "I'm here to rescue you."

But the branch the ladder was attached to snapped and he begin to fall. "Who's gonna rescue me!" Marshall yelled as he fell.

"M-Marshall!" Rocky managed to run under the falling Dalmatian.

Then it happened, something Rocky couldn't bring himself to believe.

Natalie appeared above Marshall, she jumped onto one of the walls which was impossible, before leaping across grabbing hold of Marshall then landed on the other wall.

"I got you." Natalie smiles at a shocked Marshall.

"N-Natalie? H-how are you doing this?" Marshall asks, looking below them then at the wall.

Natalie was standing on the wall which was a 90 degree angle, Marshall didn't understand how she manged to keep her balance.

With one grin, and a leap she jumped down from the wall landing safely next to Rocky.

"Who and what are you?" Rocky questions watching Natalie place Marshall on the ground.

"I am an ex Spy pup, I worked for the FBI." Natalie shrugged helping Marshall to his paws. "Are you both alright?"

Rocky stared at Marshall then says, "Why did you come here Marshall?"

"Because I-I d-do care about y-you R-Rocky" Marshall stuttered his eyes looking at the ground. "I-I want t-to help you, let me examine your injuries."

"I'm fine, I don't need your help or Natalie's." Rocky snapped. "I just want to go home to Wendy! It's just not fair! Your mate gets to come here and mine doesn't!"

"B-but Rocky, Everest is-"

"I don't want to hear it Marshall! You don't understand! I want to hold her, kiss her, smell her scent just to be around her... You always get everything!" Rocky's eyes narrowed at him.

Natalie stood in front of Rocky. "Calm down, this is the thanks he gets for coming here to help you?"

"Why, why help me? You don't even like me!"

"I-I want to trust you Rocky, but you're not making it any easier for me to do that." Marshall walked around Natalie. "I just want to make sure you're f-"

"I am fine, now just leave me alone!." Rocky walks away and sits in a corner.

Marshall went to approach him but was stopped by Natalie who says, "Give him space."

"He's hurt Natalie" Marshall looks up at her, "He's hurt and I'm the only one who can help him."

"Well I don't want your help." Rocky almost whispers, laying down. Silent sobs escaping his mouth.

Natalie turned and looked at Rocky then back at Marshall. "Just give him space, I do believe he is trying to change."

Marshall sighs sitting down. "I want to believe he's changed, but he just gets so angry it scares me."

"A lot of people get angry Marshall, it does not mean they will hurt you." She sits beside him, "During my time working for the FBI I came across people who on the outside were angry, mean, unpredictable but on the inside they were soft, caring, lovable. For some reason they just acted tough."

"Natalie he almost killed me more then once, I-I... I'm trying to forgive him and forget about it b-but it's hard, I don't even trust him around my pups." Marshall whispered the last part.

"Then why did you try to rescue him?" Natalie questions causing Marshall to look up at her, she smiles. "You still care for him, deep down inside you."

"Wha-"

"I can sense it," Natalie looked at him.

Marshall let out a sigh. "I do care, but he doesn't believe me, I-"

"Sh" Natalie hushed him, "Do you feel that?" she looked at the ground.

"Feels like the ground is vibrating." Marshall stood to his paws.

Within seconds the ground began to shake violently.

"Earthquake!" Rocky yelled out making his way over to Marshall and Natalie. "W-what do we do?!"

"Marshall! Rocky!" Came Ryder's voice from outside of the crack.

Chase stared at Ryder, worry in his eyes.

"Pups get away from the crack!" Ryder ordered, the pups did as he said.

"Do not worry brother I have a plan." Pedz stood on the edge of the crack, "Just stay back." She pressed a button on her wrist, a thick wire was released she fired it up above the trees. "John! now!"

Suddenly Pedz was lifted in the air before being flung into the crack.

"Pedz!" Silvera and Ryder yelled out in Sync.

Marshall, Rocky, and Natalie soon emerged out holding onto Pedz who was being lifted up. "Told you I had a plan." she said as a big shadow hovered over the group, the ground continued to shake.

"What is that?" Chase asks almost losing his balance due to the shaking.

Ryder's eyed Pedz, a gasp leaving his mouth. "It's the-"

"Your Air Patroller." Pedz grinned.

To be continued.
