Before I answer the reviews, I'd like to say somthing.
I'm not giving up on this story. Whenever I say somthing like, "It's done!" or "Yay! Finally finished!" I just mean the chapter. You'll know when the story's over, and when it is, there will be an Epiloge and more stories following the same storyline. No need to worry. :D
Now, onto the reviews!
PS: I'll be answering for chapter 17 and 18
PPS: Did anyone guess who the raven was on the last chapter? Anyone who did gets a free donut! (That's not true. I don't have any donuts XD)

Rocky slid down the silde, giving his ear a scratch before hopping into his truck. He quickly started it up and drove down to wait for Ryder. When he came out, all five pups took off after him. When they reached the bridge, Ryder drove over to Chase. "Take them over to Yumi's farm. I'll meet you there."
Chase nodded. "I'm on it." He said before speeding up and heading towards the farm, Zuma, Marshall, and Skye following him. Rocky was about to follow when Ryder drove up to him. "Is there somthing wrong Rocky?" He asked. "You usually love missions."
Rocky was a bit off-put by the quesstion. "What? Oh, yeah. I'm fine." He said a bit too quickly.
Ryder raised an eyebrow at him. "Really Rocky? Are you sure there's nothing wrong?"
Rocky nodded. "Positive." Ryder shrugged, but he still looked like he didn't beleive it. "Alright. But if you ever need to talk I'm here."
"I know. Thanks Ryder."
"No problem. Now, let's catch up to the others."
Rocky nodded and the two picked up speed towards Umi's farm.

Crescent raced on, the Lookout tower getting closer with every step. She started racing up a hill, hoping to get a better view, but what she saw hit her like a bear paw.
A town.
Where there's a town, there's humans.
And where there's humans, there's dog catchers.
And she was, for better or for worse, part dog.
She was leaning towards the 'for worse' part.
Muttering a prayer, Crescent slowly picked her way down the hill. When shee got to the bottom, she slowly stalked into the town, not wanting to imagine what would happen if she was spotted. She knew that humans had weapons, dangerous ones that could kill from far away. She didn't think that any off these humans had those, but she'd rather not find out the hard way.
She crept through the town, hiding behind bushes, buildings, and trash cans for shelter. She was almost spotted a couple times, but she managed to get through unseen. With a quick glance backward, she continued towards the Lookout.
Scene Changer: Rocky's Badge
After arriving at Umi's Farm, the pair went off with the rest of the PAW Patrol members towards the forest. Skye flew ahead to look from the sky for Callie, and Chase sniffed around looking for her scent trail. Rocky hopped out of his truck, watching is teammate as he walked along in a winding trail, sometimes doubling back to make sure he didn't miss something. After a few minutes, Chase walked back over to Ryder. "She's headed East." He reported. "And she's moving pretty fast. I suspect she's chasing a bird, by the scattered feathers." He chuckled slightly.
"Alright. Rocky? Where do you think she'll end up?"
Rocky thought for a moment before amswering. "Well, you can only go about five miles before you reach the river. And you know Callie hates to swim. So we'll be able to catch her there." "Okay. The PAW Patrol is-"
"Don't you think you can skip the catchphrase just this once?" Rocky asked.
"Uhg. Fine. Let's just get going then." Ryder groaned. "Chase, lead the way."
"Chase is on the case!" Chase exclaimed and hopped into his cruiser.
"Oh sure. He gets to say it." Ryder grumbled and climbed onto his ATV. Rocky chuckled and got into his own vehicle before the three sped off with Marshall and Zuma behind them.

Crescent slowly walked up to the Lookout, they very place where she had cowardly run away from a couple days back. Even so, she wouldn't change a thing. For the expiriance had helped her realize what she had been pondering over for a while. She was in love with Rocky.
Crescent cautiously walked up to the elevator doors and pressed the 'up' button. She got in after it came down and waited impatiently as it slowly went up.
When it finally arrrived, she walked out.
"Heya guys. I'm-" She broke off, seeing that there was noone there. Just an empty room.
She cautiously walked up to a counter, eyeing the buttons and levers on it. She reached her paw out towards one of the buttons, but pulled it back.
"What are you thinking you seal-brain!" She growled. "You could mess up their system."
She swung her head away and closed her eyes. But they opened again and slid back over to the button, just begging to be pushed.
"Ooooh. But it's so much fun Crescent." She said after a minute and slammed her paw down on a bright red button. At first, it appeared to do nothing, but then she saw something coming down from the celling out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head and saw a large screen that covered the entire back wall. Crescent looked back at the buttons. "Hhm. If that one makes it come out, then this one..."
She pressed a purple button next to the red one, and the screen flickered on. It lit up with a blue backround, that had a large badge in the center. Other than spinning or flashing a couple times, the screen was still. "Huh. Interesting. This must be where they get the info for their missions." She observed. Then she pressed a green button a couple inches away from the red and purple ones. As she did, people lit up the screen, kinda like a cartoon. It showed a girl with a cat. And the cat running after a bird, towards the forest. The same forest where she lived.
"Wow. Those are drawn really crappy." Crescent commented as she curiously watched the animation. After a few minutes of it repeating, she got bored and pressed another button, hoping to get rid of it. Which it didn't. It just turned up the volume.
Crescent growled in frustration and struck different buttons randomly. After doing tings like speeding it up, pausing it, and flipping the image upside down, she finally pressed one that led her to a map.
On it, a bunch of smaller badges moved around on the screen. She recodnized them as the badges of the PAW Patrol that they wore around their necks. She assumed that they repersented each one of the members. She watched them for a few moments, they were heading towards the forest. She saw another small, red light flicker ahead of the other badges. Judging by what she saw on that animation, she assumed tht the smal red light was the cat they were chasing.
Well she was looking at the map, Crescent heard the elevator coma up and the doors open. She spun around and let out a snarl, crouching, prepared to leap and fight the enemy with every fiber of her being.
That is, if there was an enemy to fight.
Rubble walked out of the elevator, letting out a yelp of surprise as he noticed the angry wolf-dog growling on the floor infront of him. Rubble relaxed when he realized who it was. "Crescent? What're you doing here. I thought you left."
Crescent also relaxed and stood back up, letting out a sigh of releif. "Oh, Rubble. It's just you." She said. "Yeah. All the others are out on a mission. Chasing Callie again. Silly cat. I was put in charge of tracking them on the map. Just went down to get a snack." He picked up a bag of dog treats and pulled two out. "Want some?" He offered, his voice muffled. Crescent shook her head. "No thanks. You keep it."
Rubble shrugged. "Alright. Suit yourself." Then he quickly gulped down the bacon treats before turning back to Crescent. "So. Why are you here? I mean, I thought you wanted to live free and all that. And how'd you get a pup pack?"
Crescent raised an eyebrow at him. "A what?"
"A pup pack."
"I don't follow."
"You know, that thing on your back."
"Oh. You mean the backpack?" Crescent asked, slipping out of it.
"Well, yeah. That's what humans call 'em. But we pups call 'em pup packs."
"Okay. Cool. Now, as for the reason I'm here." She paused and pushed the backpack infront of her. "I found something in a cave, and I was hoping Ryder could tell me what it was." She carefully removed the stone from her bag, the light reflecting off it and catching Rubble right in the eye.
"Ahg! Hey, watch it!" He yelped and blocked the glare with his paw. He slowly turned back to it and let his eyes ajust to the natural sparkle of the rock. "Woah! Where'd you find a stone like that?" Rubble asked eyeing it.
"Deep deep deep down in a cave." She replied casually.
Rubble chuckled. "Wow Crescent. You've really got a talent for mining."
"Thanks Rubble."
"Anytime. Now, let's get you to Ryder."
"Lead the way!" Crescent said, slipping the stone back into her bag.
With that, the two got into the elevator and went down.
A/N: So yeah. Sorry if it was boring. Anywho, only two more chappies after this. Then an epiloge and a sequal. So yeah.
Sianii Out!
Peace!
