Chase took a step inside the cave, looking around.
"Hello? Vivi? Are you in here?" He asked, seeing no one. He huffed. Of course not, do you SEE anyone in here? His thoughts taunted him. Maybe she's on the other side of the mountain. He thought, and was about to turn around to leave when suddenly, the Vulcan jumped right in front of him, surprising the dark mage. The Vulcan grinned evilly.
"Me no like dark magic." It said. Chase narrowed his eyes.
"So you keep saying," He paused. "Wait, where's Marshall? What did you do to him?!"
The Vulcan tilted its head. "Protection go bye-bye. No more protection."
Chase blinked. "Bye-bye? Wait," His eyes went wide. With how narrow and steep these paths are, there's a good chance he fell off the mountain. Chase growled, and summon his magic. "Fine then, you want to destroy dark magic? Come and get it!" Sheesh, now I'm starting to sound like the monkey. He thought, sweatdropping a little. The Vulcan let out a roar and began charging the dark mage. "Dark magic: Dragon Fang!"
Suddenly the snow and ice surrounding the cave began to form in a large twister, heading towards the Vulcan, who moved out of the way, and began swinging at Chase. Chase dodged each of it before summoning his magic again. "Dark magic: Crystal Sphere!" That's when the ice started to swarm around the Vulcan, swirling faster and faster until it became a hexagon-like cage. Trapped, Chase smirked. "I got you now. Dark magic: Hell's Arrow." Out of thin air, four red fire-like arrows appeared around Chase, before zooming towards the trapped Vulcan, each with a destination in mind. However, just before they could land its target, the Vulcan had manage to break free and dodged out of the way, before running towards the dark mage. Chase had been prepared to move when suddenly-
"MONKEY!" Blinking, Chase looked to see Marshall and Joey flying towards them, fist already on fire, and ended up punching the Vulcan away from Chase. Chase smiled. "Marshall! You're alive!" He blinked as Joey settle Marshall on the ground. "But...I thought you don't do well with transportations?"
"Eh? What are you talking about?" Marshall asked, cocking his head to the side. Chase pointed at Joey.
"That. You hated the carriage, so I thought..." He stopped when he saw the look Marshall was giving him.
"Joey isn't a transportation. He's my friend. You're so simpleminded." He said. Chase glared at him.
"Oi, watch you who calling simpleminded! But, you're right. Joey is a friend, so I guess I should treat him a little more nicely."
"Aye!" Joey said, earning himself a glare from the dark mage. Before this conversation could continue, however, the Vulcan roared once again, fury evident in its eyes.
"Man, this Vulcan doesn't know when to give up, doesn't he?" Chase asked. It was mostly to himself, but Marshall scoffed, smirking to himself.
"That's fine. I've been itching for a fight all day." He said. Chase smiled nervously.
"Of course you have..."
The Vulcan roared. "Stop protecting! Dark magic is bad!" It said and was about to attack them again, when Marshall stopped it, glaring at the creature.
"Listen up; all members of PAW Patrol are my comrades and friends! From Goodway and Sachi, to annoying jerks like Everest and Wally," He said, putting more strength into his hand as he continued to talk. The Vulcan struggled to get out of his grip. "Joey and Chase are my friends too.." That caught Chase by surprise, watching as a light glow surrounded the fire mage. The dark mage could only stare in awe. I'm his friend too? For some reason, that made Chase all warm inside and he had to stop himself from smiling. "He's a PAW Patrol member now, no matter what kind of magic he posses. And, so long as he carries the PAW Patrol pride, I will protect him no matter what! That goes for all PAW Patrol members, including Vivi!" Marshall shouted, before punching the Vulcan in its stomach, hard enough to send it flying towards the ceiling of the cave.
Chase just stared in awe, happy to know there's someone out there that was willing to fight for him. You're starting to sound like a girl. His thoughts teased, and if that's not enough, Joey commented.
"Chase, you're blushing."
"Am not!" He bristled, despite the pink in his face.
Meanwhile, The Vulcan glared at him. Looking around, he noticed a particular shaped ice that could be used as a spear - a very sharp spear. Grinning, the Vulcan picked it up and began swinging wildly, Marshall dodging out of the way until his back his against the wall, and he was forced to use his hands to stop the point of the ice from hitting his face.
"Marshall!" Chase shouted. Seeing the fire mage struggling, Chase bit his lip. He could take the Vulcan by surprise and attack him, but then he'll be in the same position as before, before Marshall came. Then it clicked. Marshall's a fire mage...I have some fire spells... He smirked. "Marshall!"
Marshall turned to Chase, struggling under the ice that seems to be getting closer.
"Say ahh!"
"Ahh?" Marshall opened his mouth.
"Perfect! Dark Magic: Hell's fire!" Before anyone could do anything, flames appeared out of nowhere and headed straight into Marshall's open mouth. He swallowed, wincing slightly.
"That tastes horrible..."
"IT'S SUPPOSE TO HELP YOU!"
"In that case," Marshall smirked as he feel his magic reviving up, melting the ice. "I'm all fired up."
The Vulcan blinked, confused as Marshall list his fist on fire. "Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" He jumped into the air and the Vulcan could only stare as Marshall smashed his fist into its face. The impact of the fist had sent the Vulcan flying, crashing into the wall of the cave. For once, the Vulcan didn't move.
"Marshall, you did it!" Joey said as he and Chase ran up to Marshall.
"Isn't this suppose to be the part where the Vulcan tells us where Vivi is, if it knows at all?" Chase asked.
"Aye." Joey agreed. Before anyone could say anything, the Vulcan suddenly started to glow, the form getting smaller until it was eventually revealed to be a human woman. Joey's and Marshall's mouths dropped.
"No way..."
"VIVI?!"
Chase's mouth dropped as well.
"YOU MEAN THIS WHOLE TIME WE WERE FIGHTING THE PERSON WE WERE LOOKING FOR?!"
