Chapter 10: Spirit of the Paw Patrol

1 Week Ago

Ryder had just finished fixing the fence when suddenly barks and growls were heard behind him, he turned to see the pack of Wild Dogs surrounding Chase's truck

"Chase! Drive away!" Ryder yelled out but Chase couldn't hear him over the dogs

"We have to help!" Rocky said as he Skye, Rubble and Zuma raced towards the pack of dogs

Ryder tried to stop them "Pups stop! NOW!" he ordered, they ignored him

"GET AWAY FWOM OUW FWIENDS!" Zuma growled hitting one of the dogs sending it flying into a tree only to be knocked out by another dog

Rocky slammed hard into that one injuring it's paw, another wild dog hit into Skye and started biting her neck she yelped and screamed

Chase turned to Marshall "Stay in here, I'm going to help them" he went to jump out but Marshall grabbed his paw "Marshall, it's going to be alright we're going to teach these dogs a lesson" he jumped from his truck and ran at a dog which had Skye pinned down biting her neck "Leave her alone!" he rammed into that one in its side sending it airborne

"Skye?" Rocky said hitting into a dog which was bigger then him "Chase is she ok?"

Chase looked down at Skye worried, blood was leaking from her neck "S-sh-she... ROCKY look out!" he yelled

When Rocky turned around he didn't even know what hit him, seconds later he was on the ground unconscious, just as a large Dog went to finish Rocky off Rubble came to his aid, of course Rubble being small he was easily defeated and ended up unconscious.

Chase was the last one standing, the remaining Wild Dogs assaulted him pushing Chase against his truck, one bit down on his tail almost ripping it completely off, Chase screamed

Ryder ran over as fast as he could "Get away from my pups!" he yelled at the dogs, kicking one knocking it out "Chase!"

Marshall was petrified "I-got to do something!" he said to himself then whimpered hearing Chase in-pain

"Ryder let me handle this" Everest bolted past Ryder smashing into 2 of the dogs who had Chase pinned down

"Everest!" Marshall yelled looking over the side of Chase's truck "No! Get out of there!" he wanted to join in the fight, but the truth was after helping out with fixing the fence had made his own injures hurt "I can't lose you!"

Everest grinned at Marshall hitting another Dog "Don't you worry my precious mate, you're not going to lose me" she said pushing another dog off of Chase "You good Chase?"

Chase tried to get up but pain shot from all over his body

"Don't try to move ok?" Everest said putting Chase on her back, she flinched when she felt blood dripping on her back from Chase "Ryder we-..."

"EVEREST!" Marshall yelled as 3 Wild dogs slammed into her stomach knocking Chase off her, and sending her airborne, hitting the ground hard "NO-No!"

The Wild Dogs started walking towards the unconscious pregnant Husky, growling showing their teeth

Marshall felt his blood boil, he knew even Ryder couldn't stop then "I'll save you Everest!" he turned to Chase's sirens, and hit the button as hard as he could with his broken hind leg instantly causing pain to burst from it like a missile but it had worked, the sirens had scared the dogs causing them all to run off

"Marshall! you did it!" Ryder said feeling Zuma and Rocky's pulse

Marshall saw Chase his best friend motionless, and Everest his pregnant mate "R-r-ryder?"

"You ok Marshall?" Ryder turned around to see Marshall tears forming in his eyes, the Dalmatian looked heart broken "It's going to be ok, I need to get them all to Katie's"

Marshall felt light headed, then there was nothing. His body went limp he felt himself fall from Chase's truck and onto the ground

"Marshall!..."

Nothing but darkness

Back in the Present

When Marshall opened his eyes, after being saved by his 'Guardian Angel?' he found he wasn't in Katie's, he was back in the Lookout, laying in a comfy bed surrounding by Chase, Skye, Rubble, Rocky and Zuma

"He's waking up!" Skye whispered happy

Chase nudged Marshall's face "Buddy you ok?"

"C-chase?" Marshall slowly sat up Rubble and Zuma helped him "Wh-what happened?"

"I found you outside Katie's clinic, you were in pretty bad shape" Ryder smiled walking in "You've been asleep for 1 week, I had you brought here to rest in my bed" he explained "pups can I have a word alone with Marshall please?"

"Sure Ryder sir" Chase hugged Marshall "So good to have you back! I missed you" he whispered into Marshall's ear, then jumped off the bed with the other pups, not before giving Skye a kiss on her cheek

Marshall looked confused "A-are they together?" he asked, Ryder giggled but nodded

"You've missed a lot when you were asleep" Ryder said pulling up a chair "Everest? You can come in now"

Marshall's eyes lit up hearing his mates name, his eyes almost popped out when he saw her walk in, she was slightly showing

"Marshall!" Everest ran over to the bed and jumped up "I missed you so much! my love" she planted kisses all over his cheeks and neck

"E-everest" Marshall chuckled "You're showing?" he looked down at her stomach, which was rounder then usual

Ryder patted Everest's head "She's 2 weeks into her pregnancy"

Everest laid down besides Marshall

"Anyway, pup listen what happened to the team was not you're fault in-fact if you didn't act quickly and activate Chase's sirens the pups wouldn't be here" Ryder said, Marshall just smiled

"I know it wasn't my fault, someone already spoke to me about it" Marshall said with a grin "The same person who saved me and brought me back"

Everest titled her head "Who Marshall?"

"Um.." Marshall stuttered knowing Ryder or Everest wouldn't believe him "My Guardian Angel?"

"Oh Marshall!" Everest chuckled and kissed him on his lips, he accepted and kissed back

After a long and passionate kiss the two separated

"Y-you believe me?" Marshall asked feeling like a complete idiot

"Of course I do!" Everest said smiling at him "You might be a lot of things, but my Marshall would never lie! You say you were saved by your Guardian Angel then I believe you"

"As do I" Ryder said whispering something in Everest's ear

"Marshall?" Everest turned around to him "We want you back in the team, everyone wants you back"

Ryder nodded "Marshall listen to me, you are a valid member of the Paw Patrol, without you the team isn't the same, Adventure Bay needs their Fire/EMT pup back as do I" he gave a brand new puptag to Everest

She took it "Marshall please rejoin? for me?" Everest asked planting a kiss on his forehead

Marshall nodded "Alright, Ryder I'm sorry I left it was stupid of me"

Everest grinned and put the puptag on Marshall's collar then whispered in his ear "Guess what?"

"What?" Marshall whispered back

"You're going to be a father of 6 pups! Katie doesn't know the sex of them, I told her let it be a surprise" Everest said kissing his cheek

Marshall grinned "6? Really?"

Everest nodded and chuckled "Yep!"

"Oh and Marshall" Ryder said causing him to look at him "Katie said, you can help out with some jobs but you have to be extremely careful, you're side wound opened up a few days ago and you lost a lot of blood"

"I will, I want to be better for when our pups are born" Marshall said as a smile growing on his face "If I have to stay in this bed for weeks I will"

"That's the Marshall I know and love" Everest kissed him on his lips "Oh by the way, Chase and Skye are together he finally asked her out yesterday"

Marshall grinned "About time!"

Ryder laughed as Everest eyeballed him "What is it?"

"We just need you and Katie to be together now!" Everest said teasingly causing the Leader to blush

"Well! I'm going to go get some bandages ready to redress Marshall's wound" Ryder said quickly running out of his room

Everest and Marshall both laughed

"You know Chase was in here every hour checking on you, and when I had to go for checkups he was always the one to volunteer to stay with you" Everest smiled laying down besides Marshall "You mean everything to me Marshall, but it's not just me the whole team were lost without you, my loving Dalmatian, father to my pups YOU are the Spirit of the Paw Patrol, you are what makes us, well us"

Marshall felt his eyes tearing up he pulled Everest on top of him and kissed her deeply, making the kiss long and passionate, Everest wrapped her paws gently around him and kissed back, enjoying the touch and lips of her mate.

After a very long make-out sesson the two soon to be parents fell asleep in each others arms
