*Marshall pov*
It is 6:30 pm
I watch as the sun sets over the Lookout, It is pretty beautiful seeing the sun slowly drop down into the sea.
"Bet you wish Everest was here."
I jump at the sound of Chase's voice and land in the tree above me. I groan in pain.
"Sorry," Chase said with a laugh and I just groaned back at him.
I get up and slowly get out of the tree.
"Was that really necessary?" I asked him a bit annoyed that he made me become a bird.
He laughed a bit more.
"No, but it was pretty funny." He said back with a laugh.
"But no seriously when are you going to ask her out?" He said curiously.
"Who said I am, It's not like she likes me anyway, who would like a clumsy pup like me anyway," I say with a blush and disappointment.
"Well, for starters Like how clumsy you are, it makes you stand out and I'm sure Spyro loves your clumsiness because he takes any time he has and spends it with you," Chase said trying to cheer me up.
"Not anymore, he has been spending a lot of time somewhere else and he still hasn't told me where he is going!" I yell out in frustration.
"I'm sure he has his reasons." Chase tries to comfort me.
"I know but, ugh." I sigh in defeat.
"I know it's hard, believe me, I know, do you know how long it took me to ask out Skye?" He asks me.
"Over five years". I say.
"I didn't know you were counting," Chase said dumbfounded.
"I knew you had a thing for her the moment you laid eyes on her," I say.
"So since you played a part in me getting us together I am going to help you get so-" Chase tried to say but a loud howl is heard and a scream could be heard after.
"What was that?" Chase said.
"I don't know but I won't stand around and do nothing," I say.
"Pups, to the Lookout!"
"Ryder needs us!" Me and Chase say while running to the elevator.
Everyone else comes in with us and then it goes up, it stops so we can get our gear. I grab my specially make sword pup pack, I think back to when I last used this in the field and remembered all the horror that came with it. But all the pups grab new pup packs too, I wonder if had to do with that howl?
We make it to the top and jump into our position. Then Spyro flies in through the balcony and stands next to Ryder at the computer.
"Ready for action, Ryder sir," Chase said
"We have a BIG problem pups."
He swipes his finger on his pup pad and sees the big screen move to see wolfs looking down on the bay.
"I have gotten a lot of calls about wolves in the bay, so we are all paw on deck for this one". Said, Ryder"
"Chase, patrol the streets, and make sure everyone is safe."
"Skye, a patrol from up above and make sure o tell the others where the wolves are."
"Marshall, you patrol the main street."
"Rocky, go to town hall and try to establish a safe house there, everyone will tell civilians to go there."
"Rubble, patrol the school zone, and ensure no kids are there".
"Zuma, patrol the beach and make sure there is no one there."
"And finally, Spyro, go patrol the mountains and try to find out why there are attacking."
"I will stay at the Lookout and make sure no wolves get in."
"Everyone ready," Ryder asks.
"Yes sir but I think we have some new gear," Chase said to try to get Ryder to explain what they do.
"Oh yeah, this is some gear me, Rocky, and Spyro came up with if anything life-threatening like this would come."
"Chase, Marshall, and Skye are normal but Rockys, Zumas, and Rubble are different. Said, Ryder."
"First Rocky, you specially made pistol that can be used as a taser or a gun, you also have a drone that shoots 5.56mm ammo, and only have 200 bullets so use it carefully," Ryder said.
"Zuma, you have a harpoon gun with only ten harpoons so use it carefully," Ryder warned him.
"Rubble, you have a blade and riot shield." He said.
"Ryder, why don't I have any changes?" Asked Skye.
"I can answer that one, we don't have any changes because it is hard trying to put weapons on your small body and still have your jet pack but we are trying, just hold on a little bit longer," Spyro said explaining why she does not have any changes.
.
"Anyway, we need to get moving, is everyone ready?" Ryder asked.
"We are sir." Said, Chase.
"Then let's go!" He yells as we go down the slide…
I make it to the main street, and the sun is down, making it even more ominous. I feel multiple presences around me like they are circling their prey. I pull out my sword.
"Show yourselves wolves!" I say loud enough so they will hear me.
Then one of them jumps from the rooftop and tries to grab me but I roll out of the way and slash him in the chest and he falls to the ground with a grunt.
"That was stupid of you," I say taunting him
Then four more jump out of the shadows.
"Why you little runt, I'll kill you!" Yells the wolf that was getting off the ground and is now jumping straight at me.
"You would be surprised just how many have said something like that and have fallen by my sword," I say while dodging his reckless attacks.
The others start to get close in on us while I fight the first one, then I am trapped in a circle of wolves.
Well, I guess there is no better time two use this than now I thought. I stand still and get ready for any attack.
"I got you now!" said the first wolf.
"Dragon Style, Form 12, Calm storm," I say closing my eyes.
*Flashback*
", kid, if you want to be a good swordsman, you have to know how to see your enemy without your eyes—" said, Spyro.
"That is not possible!" I say doubting him.
"Sure it is, you just got to know how to see without them," Said, Spyro.
"You're talking crazy here!" I say still not believing him.
"It is hard but not impossible, first close your eye and try to remember your surroundings," Spyro said to which I only nod and close my eyes,
I remember the cave we are in, I also remember the various rocks scattered around, the few grass spots and the big rock Spyro normally sits on.
"I presume you have a good take on your surrounding." He asks to which I nod.
"Good now I am going to teach you to feel your surroundings without touching them, which some might call their sixth or seventh sense, it does not have a definite name but for this instance, we shall call it presences." He said which just make confused me.
"For the next year, we will focus on mastering this skill, practice this every day until you master this skill,l you are ready." He asked me
"I'm all fired up!" I yell but he just smiles back.
Little did I know it would take me two years to master this skill fully but it's one of the most important skills he has taught me.
*Back to the present*
When I close my eye, I imagine a purple void and let instinct and presence do the rest. It is almost like I am one with the wind as enemies attack me as I slice at them individually. When I open my eyes I see all the wolfs scattered around unconscious. I wonder how Chase is doing.
*Chases pov*
I patrol my way through the streets near Mr. Porter, it is dark, and I feel like I am being watched. I stop at Porter to see wolfs making a mess of the place. I get off my rig to fight the wolfs but then I hear a familiar voice.
"Chase behind you!"
I hear my pup-pack ring and then look behind me to see two wolfs swing their claws at me, I was barely able to dodge. Then I hear the familiar sound of the rotating blades in the sky, it was Skye.
I did not stall me though, as I launch my five-seven pistol out of my pup-pack and pull out my sword, I may only have my self-defense training and not Marshalls training with Spyro but that does not mean I am a pushover. I point my gun at the wolfs and start to count just how many are here, Three in the shop and two in front, great. I say to myself.
"Paws up wolf or you might get shot," I yell to them but all they do is snicker.
"How bout we kill you instead?"Asked one of the wolves.
"Chase, I don't think they came to negotiate," Skye said through my pup tag.
"It was worth a shot," I say as they all came at me.
I grapple to Skye's helicopter so the wolves can't get me then shoot them with precise accuracy and hit all of them in the foot since that is the most painful spot. I then make it to the ground and pull out my Taser knocking them all out.
Then Skye lands and hops out right on top of me to which I grunt out in pain.
"Chase, are you okay, the wolves didn't get you did they?" Skye asks me worried.
"I think you did more damage than the wolves," I say and then hug her.
"Stop worrying me like that," Skye said.
I hear a fifty-caliber rifle ring off toward the Lookout.
"Skye, go help the others, I will go and check on Ryder," I say jumping in my rig and driving toward the Lookout…
*Rocky pov*
I make it to the town hall to see at least ten wolves trying to get in. Well, this is just great. I see them all look at my rig and then me, well crap, what do I do, what do I do, wait I got it.
"Ruff, Ruff, Drone," I yell, and then the drone pops out then my computer. I use my computer to make the drone to attack all wolves. Then the bloody murder happens. I hear all the wolves' cries of pain but it did not phase me. After about a minute the drone stops and comes back.
I look around to see all the bodies. It was horrible! And I cause it! But they were going to kill, what else could I have done? I start to go down the rabbit hole of guilt but then.
"Rocky, are you okay?" I hear someone say from behind me.
I turn around to see a few people I don't immediately recognize but I see the person talking to me, it was Mayor Goodway and her pet chicken.
I try to find the words to say but my brain is empty. "I don't know, but I have a job to do," I say knowing that my job is not over.
"Everyone, inside and block every entrance except the main door, I will guard that one now go!' I say and everyone starts to go inside.
I hear a loud bang in the distance. Stay safe guys.
*Rubble pov*
I make it to the school and see wolves but no kids. That is good and bad. I need to distract them but how. They are looking around the whole school for what? Doesn't matter.
*HONK HONK*
I use my horn to get their attention and it sure works, they look at me with their dark and evil-looking eyes then they start to run at me.
I drive into town hoping to see someone that can help but it is too late one is on my rig and is about to gut me. I close my eyes waiting for the inevitable.
But it never came, instead, I hear a sound like fire.
"Dragon style, Second Form, Fire Breath," I hear a familiar voice yell.
I open my eye to see all the wolves on fire on Marshall standing above them like a phoenix rising from the ashes. I notice his sword is on fire. Then he pulls out what looks like a gun and shoots a weird blue ray at them all. He then blows on his sword and the fire goings out.
"Are you okay Rubble?" I hear Marshall ask me.
"Am I okay, you just lit all the wolves on fire like it was nothing, I think I should be asking you that!" I say to him to which he just laughs.
"Sorry, but I did not want you to become wolf chow, sorry if I scared you," He said with a half smile.
Then we hear a big bang from somewhere.
"What Was THAT!" I said terrified.
"A fifty cal. Sniper rifle and it was near the Lookout." He said with a serious face, I don't think I have ever seen him with that kinda face! He is always the one with a smile.
"Are you okay, Marshall?" I ask him genuinely concerned about that face.
"I have a bad feeling about this, let's go back." He said and then started to drive toward the Lookout.
*Zuma pov*
I make it to the beach and see some wolves on captain turbot on top of his ship trying to get away from the wolves.
"Hold on dude, I'm coming!" I said to him
"You might want to hurry, they look hungry!" He said in a panic.
Two wolves look at me. Well, crap, I guess it's time to try out my new tools.
"Ruff, Ruff, Harpoongun!" I bark out and then out pops the harpoon gun.
I try to aim it at a wolf.
"Ruff, Fire," I say so the thing can fire
Out comes a harpoon and straight into the wolf's skull. He falls with a thud.
"I will kill you for that!" The other one yelled and the other three came off the boat too.
I only have nine now and four wolves that look like they want to make me their meal. This could be better. I try to aim at one of the ones coming off the boat.
"Ruff, Fire," I say again.
Then I hit one in the chest right through his heart. I hear his screams of pain but the others just make their way toward me.
I try to aim but one pounced on me and try to pin me but he was right on top of my harpoon gun.
"Ruff, fire," I said a third time.
It hit him in the crotch. "Oo- that got to hurt," I said and get a reply full of screams of pain.
I look at the other two but I see they are hightailing it." Come back, you cowards!" I yell
"Oh well," I say.
"You Okay, Captain Turbot?" I ask him and see him coming down.
"Yes, all thanks to you Zuma," he said and scratch my ear.
"Oh, yea that's the good spot," I say fully enjoying scratching.
I hear a loud boom come from the Lookout.
"Uh oh," I say.
*Spyro pov*
I am on the path toward Jake's mountain. I start sniffing the air looking for a scent that would lead me to answers. I start to drive again. I may be no dog but I am still good with this kinda thing.
I was driving toward the smell but two wolves jumped out to try to stop me and I stop. "I don't have time for you," I say.
"Cinder, Firefox mode," I say to which two pipes came out of the back of my bike and started to make fire come out and I start to circle the wolves making a ring of fire.
"See you guys late,". I Say and turn off Firefox mode and start to drive and laugh off the encounter but a beeping sound from my watch caught me off, guard.
I look at it and see the blinking purple light and a GPS location pops up. And the location, Jake Cabin.
"SSHIIT! I yell…"
