Chapter 17: To Believe

In the Present

The dogs were approaching from every direction, Pedz and John were ready for them, then it started to rain.

"Seriously? Where did this come from?" Pedz groans removing her hair from her face. "John we can't see the dogs in this rain"

Before John could answer, the sounds of growling echo'd through the falling rain.

Pedz pulled out a small pink gun.

"You really love pink don't you?" Chase said poking his head out of the tent.

"Get back insi-"

"Lookout!" John yelled out as a dog charged for the Super-star

Out of nowhere a figure grabbed the dog and threw him far from the group. "Get Back!"

Another dog raced towards Pedz, but she raised her gun and in a spilt second she fired it, the bullet it the dog instantly killing it.

"I say, nice shot" John chuckled but yet another one ran at her.

Chase flew past John, then Pedz colliding with the dog.

"Chase!" Skye yelled out, terror in her voice.

Marshall's Angel's created a gust of wind, blowing away the rain, as he grabbed the dog attack chase, and threw it towards the ocean

Chase stood to his paws and stared at Marshall's Angel. "T-thanks."

"It's not over yet" Pedz shot her gun again, killing another dog. "Don't they gi-"

Screams were heard behind them, inside the tent.

"Marshall!" Skye's and Everest yelled at the same time.

While Pedz and John had been distracted, 4 dogs grabbed Marshall from inside of the tent and pulling him away from the group.

Luckily though, Marshall managed to get free but was now cornered between a tree and the dogs.

"Why me! Why do you always come after me! WHAT the taste of my flesh wasn't good enough for you!?" Marshall growled, flinching from a wound on his paw he had just received.

"Dimittite eum!" The Angel shouted, raising his hands. The Dogs surrounding Marshall were instantly lifted into the air, and throw towards the sea as well.

"Quare non tibi DEDO!?" The Angel shouted out, glowing light blue

Marshall looked shocked. "I have no idea what you just said, but thanks."

Silver lightning clashed above. "Rat sanguinis SALAX canibus!" The Angel growled as more of the wild dogs were whipped off the grown and throw into random directions, or more like hurled far away from the group.

"Marshall!" Ryder suddenly appeared behind him, along with the other pups. "Thank goodness, we heard the dogs and-" He paused scratching his head. "Wait, what happened to them?"

"Yeah, where did they go?" Rubble looked around, lowering his head. "I wanted to fight them!"

"Like you could Wubble, they'd eat you fow bweakfast" Zuma teased chuckling.

Marshall stood shakily to his paws. "I-I think I broke something," he mumbled holding up his front left paw.

The Angel was panting. "It... It's over now... I think..."

Ryder approached the Angel. "Thank you, for saving my pup. Again"

"Yeah dude, you'we totally awesome!" Zuma grinned then helped Marshall remain standing. "You ok dude?"

"I guess so" Marshall replied leaning on Zuma. "Wait, where's Everest?"

"And Skye?" Chase added realizing both girls had mysteriously vanished

Pedz scratched her chin. "They were in the tent."

John checked the tent but they were not there.

The Angel glowed Dark blue...

Faint calls for help were heard.

"That's Everest!" Marshall ran as fast as his body could carry him towards the voices, little did he know they had fallen over a cliff, and he was heading straight for it.

The Angel stopped Marshall before he could fall over. "Allow me my... My... Oh what's the word? ... Speciosa mea pup," With that, the Angel flew down the cliff

Skye was holding onto Everest who was hanging onto a tree branch.

"Um hi, we're just hanging here." Skye chuckled but soon stopped when the branch began to give way.

The Angel flew down further and picked up Skye and Everest, and flew back up, with a firm grip on both pups

Everest sighed, "S-sorry for wasting your time, saving us."

The Angel nodded as he landed next to the group.

Marshall ran over to Everest, and tackled her to the ground. Licking her face.

"Marshall! I'm fine." Everest chuckled and kissed him back.

Ryder walked over to the Angel, "Thank you yet again for saving my pups."

The Angel Smiled. "You're Welcome. Marshall... I have yet to tell you my name."

Marshall stood up next to Everest, "Oh, you did promise you'd tell me."

The Angel nodded, and leaned down to whisper it into Marshall's Ear

'My Name, Is Silvex.'

"T-thank you for saving me Silvex" Marshall whispered back, "I'd have given up if it wasn't for you, I owe you my life."

Silvex smiled. "You're welcome."

"Pups, we better go before those dogs come back." Ryder turned to Silvex, "Would you like to come with us? It's not safe out here."

Chase chuckled. "Ryder sir, I'm sure he can take care of himself."

The Angel nodded. "I can take care of myself, but if Marshall and Chase Wish, I can come with,"

"We'd love you too" Both Marshall and Chase said together.

"Chase, Marshall, Everest and Skye when we get back I wish to talk to you all." Ryder knelt next to Everest. "And you need to get checked by Katie."

Everest's face fell, when she realized that she lost over half of her pups. "Marshall.. our pups.." She felt tears threatening to fall.

"I know." Marshall hugged her. "But it's alright, we still have 2 pups"

Pedz looked at Everest, "I am sorry I couldn't save your other pups."

Chase sat beside the Angel, "Marshall and Everest didn't deserve to lose those pups."

"Let's get moving, shall we?" The Angel said.

Ryder nodded before turning to Pedz. "Would you like to come as well?"

"I am sorry Ryder but I must go, it was lovely meeting you all." Pedz walked over to Ryder and hugged him.

"You too Pedz." Ryder smiled hugging her back.

Pedz and Ryder separated. "Be safe, I wish you all luck, come John."

"Yes my-lady" John and Pedz waved goodbye and walked off.

"Let's go" Ryder said, walking in the opposite direction Pedz and John went.

The pups followed him, all apart from Marshall who was sitting.

"Marshall? You ok?" Everest kissed his cheek.

"Huh? yeah I'm fine" He replied standing but yelped when he put pressure on his paw. "I-I love you Everest."

Everest smiled, and helped him walk. "I love you too Marshall, um excuse me?" she looked at the Angel, "Could you maybe, heal his paw?"

The Angel knelt down, and put his hand on Marshall's paw, it glowed, and Marshall felt bubbly and tingly, in a good, happy way

"Thank you" Everest smiled.

Marshall giggled, but as he passed a dead body of a dog, he stopped and looked at it. "Do you think they'll return?" he asked the angel

"IF they do, i will send them packing,"

Everest walked off ahead.

"Will you be at the birth of my pups?" Marshall questioned, slightly worried.

Silvex nodded

"T-thanks" Marshall sighed watching Everest.

One Week Later

Everest had been staying at Katie's lately, since she was due in under a week.

Marshall continued on missions with Ryder and the pup, there had been no sign of the Wild dogs, nor of Marshall's Angel and Pedz had disappeared.

Returning from a long day, Marshall walks into the Lookout yawning he sees Ryder finishing a call on his pup-pad, smiling Ryder walks over to Marshall.

"Ryder what is it?" Marshall asks before having a drink.

"You're coming with me," Ryder picks Marshall up who raises a brow. "Everest's gone into labor."

"W-whaaaaa!?"
