It is already sunset...
At CHERRY TREEFARM LITTLE TICHFIELD DEVON, the Radcliffe family had already tidy up their new home and are currently doing their respective stuffs. Nanny and Anita do the house chores while Roger is working on his new song. Pongo is having his usual naps on the floor near to the man in the house, Roger.
Most of the 98 Dalmatians puppies having fun in the farm such as chasing chickens and frogs, rolling themselves in the mud with the pigs, or playing with cows. The remaining ones played inside the house. Perdita is resting by a shady tree, watching her beloved biological and adopted puppies of hers and Pongo.
She smiled honestly when she saw all of her puppies having fun, without having the worries of anyone arguing about their home being cramped any longer. However, all of them are still oblivious about one thing. Patch is not even in the farm and no one even cares what he is doing at this moment.
This farm is really the best place for all of us dogs. And best of all, Cruella didn't know that we had moved here. I'm sure everyone is happy. Pongo, Lucky, Rolly, Penny, Freckles, and I think Patch will be too. Perdita deduced in her mind but then realised that she did not see Patch around. Patch? Where is Patch?
She gets up, looking everywhere around the farm and house while asking Pongo and also their puppies for Patch whereabouts but to no avail. At that time, she was inside the barn. Perdita was in fact troubled with this because she obviously noticed that one of her own biological son is not around.
That's weird. I couldn't found Patch anywhere. Where in the world did he go? Perdita questioned to herself. Then her thoughts was interrupted when she saw Pongo running towards her with a panicked look while calling, "Perdy! Perdy!"
"Pongo? What is it?" Perdita asked. "This is bad. Patch is in London!" Pongo panicky informed and his wife becomes extremely shocked to hear this. "He's in London? How did you know?" Perdita asked worriedly. "It's in today's newspaper, on the front page" Pongo explained.
"Pongo! Perdita!" Roger's voice called out from outside the barn and the two mentioned Dalmatians ran outside, heading towards Roger's car. "It's all my fault if I only hadn't lost count!" Pongo blamed himself as he and Perdita entered the sky blue car and sat on the back row.
The one that rode the car is the two dogs, Anita and Roger. "Well, stop blaming yourself, dear. The important thing is we need to find him before Cruella De Vil does" said Perdita as the car leaves the farm.
Meanwhile in Japan...
Ran had won first place in the open karate tournament and currently she is celebrating her victory inside her room at her home sweet home. She is lying on her bed, gazing at the gold medal she got from her tournament. "I can't believe it, I win the tournament" Ran mumbled before she noticed that her locket blink once, which had her attention.
I guess I should call Hiro. Ran thought before she picks up her red CCM and dialled Hiro's number. At the same time in London, a sad Haruka is sitting on the bed inside room 210 with Haneotome and Marie. Haruka is holding and gripping tight her son's CCM while still wondering of Hiro's whereabouts.
Her thoughts snapped when the blue CCM rang, which made Haruka to answer the call, only to find out that it was made by Hiro's girlfriend, Ran. "Hello...Ran-chan" Haruka greeted sadly. "Professor, is it? May I speak with Hiro?" Ran requested.
"The truth is Ran-chan..." Haruka trailed before explaining the whole truth. Ran is deeply shocked to learn about what happened to her boyfriend, Hiro. "I can't believe it, Hiro's gone?" Ran mumbled. "I couldn't believe this but it's true. Right now, Akira and the others are searching for him" Haruka explained.
"Professor, is it okay if I come to London right away in helping the search for Hiro too? I'm worried about him" Ran told her boyfriend's mother. "I'm worried about him as well" she explained. "But what about your family, wouldn't they be worried if they found you didn't return home?" Haruka asked concernedly.
"Don't worry, Professor. Right now, they are at Hokkaido and won't return until two days from now" Ran assured her. "In addition, I also told my parents that I was going to visit a friend while they were away" she added.
"Well, if that's the case, I'll be more than glad to have your assistance. Haneotome won't stop weeping now she knew her owner went missing" Haruka told her. "All right, I'll be heading there now" said Ran before she ended the call.
The redhead then changes her usual clothing before locking the door and gate of her home. Afterwards, she transformed into Sazer Mithras and summoned the Flame Driver Gran Vehicle as she make her way to London for the search of Hiro. Wait for me, Hiro. I'll definitely come for you. Ran vowed.
Back at the same farm, which is the new home for the Radcliffe family and the Dalmatian puppies...
Time passed so quickly that now it is already night time. Currently, the puppies are sleeping inside the barn while Nanny is inside the house. The maid is sitting on a green sofa, reading today's newspaper after doing all the chores while watching the house and the puppies.
Unbeknown to her, a KANINE KRUNCHIES TRUCK sneaked into the farm and currently parked near the barn. The one who drove the truck was one of Cruella's underlings, Jasper with his brother, Horace accompanying him.
Peculiarly and disgustingly, Jasper cross-dress into a woman, wearing purple-pink dress with skirts, accessories and shoes of the same, blonde wig and also wore lipstick. As for Horace, he just wore green cap, shirt of the same colour inside a dark green jacket, dark green pants and brown shoes.
The chubby sibling then sneaked towards the door of the barn before he opened it a bit and peeked inside with Jasper following. There, he saw all the puppies, randomly scattered inside, sleeping. Horace then chuckled elatedly and said, "They're all inside, Jasper. Go ahead and start it up"
Jasper then sneaked back towards the truck and turn on the KANINE KRUNCHIES music while Horace the storage opened wide and sets a pile of the dog food. The two siblings also set an inclining plank towards the set up food before hiding.
As the music echoed inside the barn, the puppies then heard it and all began to wake up, starting from Rolly. He was followed by Penny, Lucky and other puppies into the truck as they all began to eat the KANINE KRUNCHIES.
Once Horace and Jasper confirmed that there is no more puppies inside the barn, the smirking siblings quickly shut the storage door together while the Dalmatians are eating, trapping them. "It worked, Jasper" Horace commented. "Like a dream, Horace. LIKE A DREAM" Jasper concurred.
"You!"
The siblings turned and realised that Nanny caught them in the act, with the maid holding a frying pan. "I should had known it was you terrible men. Now let those puppies go right now" Nanny demanded as she approaches with the pan armed. "Or I'll knock the stupid out of both of you" she threatened.
"You know, Lady. We don't want to have to hurt you know so..." Jasper calmly and persuasively tried to persuade Nanny but the latter quickly smacked the former on the head. The wig that Jasper wore then landed on Horace before the latter screamed and sprint as he saw the chubby maid wanted to hit him too.
Running away from Nanny, Horace grabs the dizzy Jasper, with his left shoe off. The siblings went into the muddy area but unfortunately due to Horace's carelessness, Jasper fell onto one of the sleeping pigs after crashing the gate. The pig began running blindly towards the other pigs while carrying Jasper.
Panicked, the other pigs begun running blindly around too and poor Nanny. Not only the pigs are in her way, but one of them crashed collided the maid from behind and she got caught on it like Jasper. Horace who saw this was glad though he stumbled and slide on the mud.
While screaming panicky, the pigs carrying the humans then collided with each other and also Horace, with the frying pan sent vertically into the air. The kitchen utensil then fell onto Horace's head, who was jumbled up with the pigs, Jasper and Nanny.
Jasper was the first to gain back his consciousness as he tried to get himself out from the mess. "Right. That's it then. I'd just enough of these" Jasper whined as he kicked one of the pigs. After freeing his brother and get his shoe back, Jasper and Horace then tied Nanny while sending her down a well with a bucket.
Nanny who was awake moaned and pleaded the two villains not to send her down there but to no avail. With Horace watching silently and guiltily by the act, Jasper chuckled amusingly as he managed to get rid of the chubby lady while saying, "There now. That'll hold you right proper"
"Jasper" Horace called out nervously. "What?" Jasper responded coldly while still rotating the pulley with the wheel. "Can we just go back to jail now?" Horace asked. "Are you kidding? Why do we have to do that? We're free now!" Jasper claimed. "But I feel bad doing this. I've been thinking we should stop" Horace kindly suggested.
"You've been thinking?! Now listen here, you idiot! I'm the one with the brains here, not you!" Jasper claimed as he towards the truck. The chubby sibling keep quiet and reluctantly agreed before going after Jasper. The two then left the farm with the truck having the abducted puppies inside.
Nanny was left down the well and she began screaming for help after seeing the villains left her like that. Unfortunately, other than the animals, no one else is there to help the maid, leaving her efforts futile. Though luckily, Mithras' Gran Vehicle is approaching the farm slowly half an hour later.
Ran as Sazer Mithras soon heard the scream for help, which made her halted the journey and jumped out from her fighter jet. Reverting to her human form, she followed the repeated screams for help until the redhead reaches the well. "Somebody! Help!" Nanny screamed.
At that time, Ran peeked inside while trying to hear down the well. She heard Nanny's scream all right but could not see the maid. "Hello! Anybody down there?" Ran asked out at the well. Nanny smiled in joy as her call had been answered. "Yes, there is. Please, pull me out" Nanny pleaded.
"Yes!" Ran responded before she saw the pulley nearby and rotated the wheel accordingly. The redhead was taken by surprise when she saw a maid was tied on the bucket of the well. Without any hesitation, Ran untie the maid and gets the latter off the well.
"Thank you, girl. If it wasn't for you, I'll probably stuck in there until Mister and the Misses come back" Nanny thanked. "My name's Ran" Ran introduced. "Well, I'm just passing by here but why are you tied inside there, Miss?" she asked.
"Two terrible men came to dognap the Dalmatian puppies of the owner. I tried to get those puppies back but I ended up like you found me" Nanny explained. "Dognapping?! Why?" Ran asked.
"I'll explain the details later. Right now, we need to call the police, Ran" Nanny told her. "All right" Ran concurred before the maid lead her into the house.
Meanwhile in London, the Radcliffe family, Pongo and Perdita are seen strolling in the park near where the Thunderbolt audition took place. They search for Patch but unfortunately the pup is nowhere to be seen.
They even asked the people around but none of them saw where did Patch went, not even Thunderbolt. Perdita sighed disappointedly when she did not found her son anywhere and walked away some distance from their owners. Pongo noticed this and followed her.
"What's wrong, Perdita?" Pongo asked worriedly. "Oh Pongo, I was just wondering ever since the other puppies are adopted. What if Patch actually just wanted to be different?" Perdita expressed. "Yes, I do noticed that. He keeps telling me that he really wanted to meet Thunderbolt" Pongo stated.
"Are we really not paying attention to him that much?" Perdita asked. "I don't know. With all the puppies joining our original family, we had to give our love to them equally. But I guess...I didn't pay much attention to him" Pongo admitted.
Perdita remain silent as she did not want to make the situation as worse as it is before their owners took her and Pongo to go back. During that time, Roger and Anita noticed Akira, Haruka and Haneotome some distance away, sitting together on a bench. The Oozora family seemed sad.
"Hey, Roger. Let's try asking those two" Anita suggested and Roger nodded concurringly before they approaches Akira and Haruka. The Oozora family noticed this and stood when the Radcliffe family arrived at them. "Excuse me, sir. Have any of you seen a dog like these two but still a puppy with a patch on the right eye?" Roger asked.
"I'm sorry but we hadn't seen any puppy like that" Akira stated. "I see..." Roger responded disappointedly. "What's the matter?" Haruka asked. "You see, we'd left a Dalmatian puppy out of its 99 siblings. We only noticed this when we saw its picture in the front page of today's newspaper" Anita explained.
"We looked everywhere but hadn't found the puppy" Roger added. Then suddenly, there is a phone ringing, which made Anita picked up her phone. "Excuse me" said Anita in unison as she steps away to answer the phone call. "Yes...?"
Anita received a call from Nanny, who explained the terrible news to her. She were quite shocked to hear the news about the 98 puppies were stolen. "That's...All right. I'll inform Roger right away" said Anita as she put away her phone upon ending the call before heading with a worried face towards Roger and the Dalmatians.
"What's wrong, Anita?" Roger asked. "Bad news, Roger. I just received word from Nanny that the puppies were just stolen" Anita informed. "Stolen?!" Roger repeated in shocked. Perdita and Pongo became very troubled upon hearing the news.
The Oozora family were also surprised by this too. Puppies? Why someone would dognapped puppies? For what purpose?
"Yes...According to Nanny, they were dognapped by the same henchmen that did the same for the 15 puppies last time. She tried to retrieve them but those evil men tied and trapped her inside the well. She only managed to get out, thanks to a young Japanese girl named Hanasaki Ran" Anita proceeded.
"Ran?" Akira echoed loudly, which made the Radcliffe family noticed. "You know that girl?" Roger asked. "Yes... she's one of Hiro's friend. Hiro is our son but unfortunately he was missing. You see...she was supposed to come here to help us searching for him" Haruka explained. "I see..." Anita replied.
"Anyway, why would someone stole the puppies and who would do such a thing?" Akira asked. "To make dog skin coats and there's only one woman behind those evil men that we knew who would do something like this. Cruella De Vil" Roger explained. "Cruella De Vil?" Akira echoed.
"Long story but we got no time to explain. We're going to retrieve the puppies right away" Roger stated as he took his leave with Pongo. "Thank you and sorry for taking your time" Anita told them before leaving with Perdita. The Oozora family were left confused for some moments.
"All right, let's go help them" Haruka concurred. "Pamu!" Haneotome followed. Then the family went after the Radcliffe family and told them that they volunteered to help, much to their reliefs.
Speaking of the puppies, they are currently locked up inside a few cages at a warehouse. The true culprit that ordered Jasper and Horace to dognap them is none other than Cruella De Vil. She did so in order to give inspirations to an artist named Lars, who was depressed for unable to satisfy Cruella with his paintings, despite doing various arts for her sake.
Lars got the impression that Cruella wants him to make paintings of the Dalmatian puppies. However, she revealed her true intention, which is using the puppies as the medium for the paintings. Lars was quite shocked and objected this insaneness, even going as far threatening Cruella.
Unfortunately, Lars was tied and gaged by the sicko woman, who called the former a disappointment for not understanding the latter while throwing knifes at him with tantrum, which he barely survived. Then Cruella revealed that if she could not use the puppies as arts, she will make coats out of them.
After hearing this, Lucky send off an SOS message through the barking chain, Twilight Bark. Luckily, there is a dog walking with its owner nearby the warehouse and it heard this before sending off another bark of the same message.
All the dogs that heard this SOS message, barked off almost everywhere in London to convey the same message and mentioned who was the sender. Coincidentally, Thunderbolt, Patch and Hiro are seen walking on an empty avenue.
Thunderbolt moans about no one noticing his heroic work today with the two and most of all, no photographers around for this. Patch and Hiro were left stunned by this. Why would Thunderbolt want photographers around? Not even Hiro could think why when Thunderbolt was about to confess.
Then Patch and Hiro heard the yapping of the Twilight Bark, which had finally reached their area. "Thunderbolt, listen!" Patch told him as the three dogs headed towards the faint barking. All three of them leaned their ears at a wooden wall of an alley. Patch and Hiro sat on a trash can while Thunderbolt stood on the floor.
Strangely, Hiro was able to understand the language despite it being howling and what is being conveyed. "There's an emergency" Patch reported. "Sounds like a kidnapping" Thunderbolt deduced. "Yeah, I heard that too" said Hiro.
"Being held in a warehouse. A devil woman! A hundred and one Dalmatians..." Thunderbolt deciphered from the repeated howling. "Hey, what a coincidence. You came from a family of 101 too" he compared. However, Patch became terrified learning that the ones being dognapped were his siblings after all, which Hiro and Thunderbolt noticed.
"Whoa, what's the matter, kid?" Thunderbolt asked concernedly. "That is my family. Cruella must had them again!" Patch burst out frustratingly. "Cruella?" Thunderbolt echoed. "The devil woman. She's the one who kidnapped us before. Cruella De Vil" Patch told the two while circling around a puddle.
"Cruella De Vil..." Hiro mumbled. At that time, Patch looked into his reflection created on the puddle. "Oh this is awful. What am I going to do?" Patch asked himself, worrying about how to save his siblings. Though he noticed that the reflection of his admired hero, Thunderbolt in the same surface. "Wait a second, Thunderbolt! You'll help us, won't you?" he asked.
"Yes, well, kid...That's what I wanted to talk to you about" Thunderbolt stuttered in replying but noticed that Patch seems so happy, begging for his help that he could not refuse. "Of course. I'll help you, Patch" he smiled and concurred though the dog noticed that he also got benefits in helping this matter. "Yeah. The world famous Thunderbolt rescued the world the world famous 101 Dalmatians. Hah! Sounds like a good story to me. News worth even!"
Patch barked excitedly that the German Shepherd is willing to help. "Well it is quite worthy and heroic to claim. And I hope you don't mind me tagging along. I'll do what I can do to help" Hiro volunteered. "Thank you, Thunderbolt, Hiro" Patch thanked the two.
"Come on, we'll let them know that I'm on my way. The villains will soon cringe in fear! Mighty Thunderbolt is here!" Thunderbolt declared before he do his heroic bark. His bark echoed in almost everywhere in London.
Although many of the dogs were delighted by this news, a certain someone claimed this news as a prelude to a nightmare. That is Lil' Lightning, who happened to hear the conversation relating that by the female fans for Thunderbolt and gaped shockingly after knowing this.
"Isn't it just a dream?" a fan of Thunderbolt wondered. "More like a nightmare. What if Blunder Bolt...gets lucky and succeed!? If the press got into that...I'll never be ruling over him" Lightning stuttered panicky.
The weather become quite darky and there are sounds of thunderous clapping in the sky, meaning one should not go out at this moment since the possibility of getting struck by the lightning is high. Though, one had to brace for this obstacles if they wanted to save someone they care.
Patch, Hiro and Thunderbolt had finally arrived at the warehouse where the puppies were abducted, thanks to the usage of Twilight Bark. "Look, that must be the warehouse" Thunderbolt deduced. "Seems scary to me..." Hiro admitted as the thunderous clapping makes the scene around scarier.
"Let's try over there" Patch suggested, referring to the ladders near the door and the trio went there. The ladders needed to be pulled down by someone. "That's quite high" Hiro commented. "Hey, do you think you can reach that, Thunder?" Patch asked. "No problem" Thunderbolt answered. Though before he could do anything, a voice came in, "Thunderbolt, old pal"
The trio turned and saw that it was none other than Lil' Lightning who approaches them. "Lightning!" the trio exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" Thunderbolt asked. "I came as soon as I heard. Thought you need a little bit of help" Lightning answered. "Thanks for coming, little buddy" Thunderbolt thanked before he leaped and pull down the ladder.
The four dogs then climbed up the series of ladder, with Thunderbolt in lead, followed by Patch, Hiro and Lightning in order. Upon reaching the top, Thunderbolt glanced around before getting on the roof, meaning it is safe for them to come up. They saw a few pyramidal windows installed there with lights on and checked every single one.
They found where the Patch's siblings were in the one that had their ceiling window opened. All four dogs quint into the opened window and observed the surrounding. At that time, Jasper and Horace are painting something while the puppies were locked, presumably in equal numbers in five cages some distance away from the two men.
The security is tight, that is, which they all noticed but not everything. "So what's the plan, kid?" Thunderbolt asked. "See those guards? Think you can sneak past them? Remember the end of episode 39, 'The flight from the forbidden Fort'?" Patch reminded.
"The one where I ran, jumped and sprang?" Thunderbolt guessed. "No, no. Sneak, faded and triumph" Patch corrected. "Oh, yeah. Of course. I get it..." Thunderbolt remembered. Lightning does not like where this is going.
"You're really a smart kid. That's a smart plan, Stealthy" Lightning praised. "Of course, we can't make the guards noticed our presence" Hiro reason. "But we don't need any of that! This is Thunderbolt! Villains always cringe in fear, whenever Thunderbolt is here!" Lightning claimed.
"So true..." Thunderbolt concurred so easily. "What we need is a full frontal assault! How hard can it be?" Lightning suggested. "That's terribly disastrous! Our main priority is to save Patch's siblings" Hiro protested.
"So, how do you plan to rescue all the hostages? There's a lot of them. Stealthily or not, the guards will still notice. That's why we're taking out the guards first" Lightning defended. "But we're up against humans here. Plus, there might be more guards than just those two" Hiro objected. "Right, Patch?"
"Let's go with that!" Thunderbolt declared. "Thunder?" Patch exclaimed. "We'll take them out and the puppies will be alright to go. Follow me!" Thunderbolt ordered as he entered through the opened window, followed by Patch. Hiro gritted his teeth and finally followed them. "Oh, right behind you, pal" Lightning mumbled while putting on a smirk.
Descending using boxes and cupboard that was arranged accordingly, Thunderbolt stood not too far from behind the busy Jasper and Horace. After Hiro and Patch landed with the former hiding behind a painting, Thunderbolt used his heroic bark, which made the siblings surprised and turned. Lucky and the others also noticed this too.
"It's Patch...and he brought Thunderbolt" Lucky commented. "He'll save us" said Penny. "You know, where did you come from?" Horace questioned while pointing the brush though Jasper took his brush. "Get out of here, you stupid mutt!" Jasper rebuked, throwing the brush at Thunderbolt.
Luckily, Thunderbolt and Patch managed to avoid it, with the latter hiding behind the painting with Hiro while the former crouch. "Maybe they didn't hear you..." Patch guessed. "That's why it's a bad idea!" Hiro argued. "Don't worry, this will be...Take two!" Thunderbolt assured before doing another heroic bark.
The siblings were scared but not because of Thunderbolt. "Hah, that's more like it" said Thunderbolt, though he did not noticed that Cruella is right behind him with a paint can in her left hand. In the same time as the thunders clap, Cruella hits the German Shepherd with the can, causing the dog to become unconscious.
Both Patch and Hiro were shocked but only the former went towards the big brown dog. However, he gave away his presence to Cruella by doing so as the devil woman approaches. "Well, what have we here? Oh it's you" Cruella chuckled as Patch pull back from her.
Though the Dalmatian pup could not escape as he leaned towards the wall while not noticing that there is a newspaper beneath his feet. "I owe you a debt of gratitude, my photogenic little friend" she slide the newspaper's front page towards Patch before the devil woman picked her up and walked towards the cages with the abducted puppies.
"If it wasn't for you, I would never found your brothers and sisters. And now, I have you all" Cruella claimed before she laughed wickedly in the thunderous clapping. Hiro took this chance and charged at Cruella before biting her feet, which made the devil woman yelped.
Though, Cruella angrily countered by lifting her bitten feet up and slammed the blue pup on the floor, causing him to fell unconscious. "Where did this mutt came from?" Horace questioned. "Who cares?! Locked these mongrels together with this one!" Cruella ordered, handing over Patch to Horace before leaving.
The chubby sibling took Hiro with him too while Jasper carried the unconscious Thunderbolt before locking the three dogs in one empty cage and left doing their previous stuffs. After being locked, Hiro then regained his consciousness, much to Patch's relief.
"Hiro, are you okay?" Patch asked worriedly as he saw the blue pup getting up with pain. "Don't worry, Patch. I felt something more painful than this before" Hiro assured him before he and Patch went to check on Thunderbolt.
"Thunder? Are you playing dead?" Patch asked and soon the brown dog woke up while rubbing his head. "Ow, it hurt. That really hurt" Thunderbolt whined. Hiro sighed in relief while Patch chuckled and said, "I knew you were faking it"
"He's been faking it, all right" Lightning stated eerily, which all the dogs noticed. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is hiding under a table nearby. At first, everyone thought he was going to rescue them but in fact he did not. "Lightning, little buddy" Thunderbolt called.
Though Lightning leaped with an angry face. "I AM NOT YOUR LITTLE BUDDY! AND YOU are no WONDER DOG!" Lightning angrily declared. "These kids trusted you and looked where it's got him" he stated eerily. "What's he mean?" Patch asked.
"He's been lying to you all day, kids. He doesn't care about you two or your family" Lightning stated while circling the cage. "He was trying to get his name on the paper and save his job. Ask him!" he said. Hiro and Patch looked at Thunderbolt, wondering if that was true.
"No!" Thunderbolt denied. "Yeah...but, but" he stuttered to confess. "But, but, but. Hey genius! You're NO HERO. You're a FRAUD!" Lightning addressed harshly. "Hey, what's the meaning of this?! You're not going to save us?" Hiro questioned angrily.
"That's right. I had no intention of doing so from the start. I'm trying to prevent that guy from getting what I just said. Too bad, Thunderbolt confidently believe that frontal assault is the best method. You all really fell for it" Lightning smug. "You traitor!" Hiro addressed.
"By the way, there never was a plan to recast you. I just had to get you out of the way" Lightning added and chuckled evilly before going to the couch. Everyone sadly and frustratingly watched the Corgi leave and not helping them.
"Now, I'm going to take your place on the show. MY SHOW!" he said and laughed evilly before leaving the warehouse using the window on the ceiling. "He'll pay for this!" Hiro vowed. Thunderbolt turned and sit with a frustrated face with Patch later approached him.
Hiro noticed this and just watched silently. "Thunder, I don't understand. You lied to me?" Patch asked in disbelief. "I put up an act. I'm an actor. That's what I do" Thunderbolt admitted. "But you said I could be your junior deputy..." Patch stated.
"I made them all up. I just needed someone who knew the script" Thunderbolt corrected. "But you... you said that you would help us" Patch argued obliviously though the TV dog had already lost his patience.
"Oh, don't you get it, kid? All that running around and saving the day stuff. It's...its make believe. It's NOT...REAL!" Thunderbolt told bluntly. "You promised!" Patch cried heartbrokenly before he turned around and begun weeping while sulking.
Hiro was shocked by this and Thunderbolt realised that he had just hurt the feelings of someone who had help him earnestly. "Patch...I'm just..." Thunderbolt tried to reason. However, Hiro stopped him with his arms and shook his head, telling the brown dog to leave Patch alone for now.
"You lied..." said Patch. "I'm sorry..." Thunderbolt tried to apologise but Patch flinched, not wanting to look at him. Thunderbolt then turned away and sit while not facing the two pups. "I'm not a real wonder dog. I just acted like that once" he stated.
Hiro saw that Patch sits and began crying but the former was not surprised at all. The pup's sincere feelings was completely betrayed by the person he totally admired and modelled to be. If this situation was what happened to me and Senshiman, I guess I might be crying like Patch as well. Hiro thought and compared before sitting like a dog. I better leave them be for now.
