*Marshall pov*

I stare at the tag knowing whose it belongs to. I start to hear ringing in my ear slowly getting louder. My legs just stop working and I collapse to the ground. I look at Spyro and see his foot is stuck in a tree looking so angry like he wants to kill.

I grab the pup tag and hold it close to my chest. Not her, anyone but her.

"EVEREST!" I yell losing all my senses and just curl up into a ball and cry.

I feel Spyro pick me up and hold me close. I look at him and see his tear dripping down his face and onto my fur. We stayed there like that for a few minutes as my sense slowly come back. I looking his eyes which are moist from his tear.

"What can we do?" I ask him, he has always known what to do.

"I don't know," He said back.

"But you always know what to do!" I say starting to lose hope.

"Listen, kid, and listen carefully, Those wolves did not kill her, but they did take her, they were after her and I don't know why but we will get her back, you hear me?" He said to the which I just nod

"Good because this will not be easy, This will test you on both your morals and your will to live but let her life drive you to save her, we have to save her," He said with teary eyes.

"But now we need to head back to the Lookout," He said which confuse me.

"Why, we have to find her now!" I yell at him.

"Listen, they masked her scent, smell the air, her scent is gone," He said.

I smell the air and just like he said her scent is gone.

"We need to head back, the rest of the team will help, we just need time," He said to me.

"WE DON'T HAVE TIME!" I yell at him.

"You are acting just like I did before I came here, but the difference is you can still save her, you have to or things will never be the same" I hear the sadness in his voice but I knew what he was talking about.

"I know how you feel which is why I am telling you to get help and not do this on your own, I did that once the pain and sadness never goes away, it only goes away when you share it with someone else,' He said to me which hits deep.

'You need someone that will always pick you back up when you are at your worst, for me that was you!' He said louder than normal.

"You were there when I had nowhere to go, you and all the pups even Ryder!" He says with pain in his heart.

"You guys gave me a home that actually feels like a place where I BELONG!" He yells, tears coming back to his eyes.

All I could do was hug him tighter to tell him he belongs here. He gets up and gets on his bike.

"Cinder, take us to the Lookout," He tells the bike.

It revs to life and starts to make its way to the Lookout. I just hugged him the hull ride…

*Ryders pov*

I sit in a chair in the Lookout living room, all the pups are on beanbag chairs. I can see the worry on their face and there is nothing I can do to ease their pain. When I call all the pups back to tell them about Jake's death and Everest's disappearance they started to cry and mourn.

Now we just wait for Spyro and Marshall. I Look at Chase, he had shed a few tears but kept up his serious act for his job. He looks and me and tries to smile but fails.

"Chase, it's okay, stop trying to hide your feeling for your job I won't hold it against you," I say but only a few tears fall out.

"Ryder, You Know Why Spyro Took Marshall With Him, Don't You?" He said to me to which I nod.

"Even if they find her HE WON'T be the same," Said right as always.

"Your right, but I think things will work out for him," I say hopeful.

"HOW?!" He yells getting the other's attention

"First, he is strong but even stronger with the one he loves, second, He LITERALLY has a dragon guardian angel that will never let either of them DIE!" He said loudly.

"He WIll come out stronger or he will never be the same, none of us will be the same, we are betting everything on him," I say with sorrow.

I can see Chase is not in the best mindset. Then I see his bike pull up but he wasn't driving. He was holding a distraught Marshall in his arm. I look at Spyro, He Was Crying! When he first came here he always looks depressed but NEVER cried. Marshall was always there to put a smile on his face but I guess he can't do that right now.

I sigh as Spyro walks up to me. "No luck huh?" I say to which he nods.

I could tell Marshall was crying even if he tried hiding it in Spyro's chest.

"They masked her scent and took off her pup tag," He said emotionlessly.

"Where is it?" I ask him to which he just looks down at Marshall.

I nod to tell him I understand. He walks over to the couch and sits down. I sit down with them and Chase hops onto Spyro's other side. The other pups just sit on a beanbag chair and stare. Spyro just slowly pets him and I do the same.

"Ryder, you must know I didn't come back to give you him, WE need help," He said still holding him.

"What can we even do?" This is your expertise. I tell him.

Spyro was about to say something but his phone starts to ring. He looks at it and sighs.

"I need to take this, I'll be right back, here take him, Chase, he is going to need you right now," He said and handed Marshall to Chase and Chase takes him without question,

"He needs you right now, take good care of him," He tells Chase.

"You can count on me," He tells him to which he finally smiles.

Then he walks out.

"Chase what do I do?" Marshall asks Chase and finally looks up.

"What do you think?" He asks him and he just stares clueless.

"We go after her, no wolf can just stroll into town and just take one of our own," He said confidently.

"Do you remember why you took up your sword?" He asks him and he nods.

"You took up your sword because you wanted to protect your friends and your family, and now some wolf is trying to take away that, so what are you going to do about that?" He asks him to which I see the light come back to him as he put on a brave face and gets up.

"I will find her! I have too," He said.

"Now, that's the Marshall I know, but now what are our orders, Ryder?" Chase said waiting for a response.

My smile slowly changes knowing that Marshall will not take what I am about to say well. "Chase, Marshall, and pups, there is nothing we can do until the morning, I know you guys want to go rushing out there but it is too dangerous for you guys right now, so pl-" I was cut off by Spyro.

"You know she can't wait that long and you know Marshall will not listen to an order like that so why even try?" He asks me.

"Because he can't go!" I yell.

"I can't lose two pups on the same night!" I yell.

"Ryder, if I told him what you told him he wouldn't even listen to me," He tells me.

"BUT, I can't take him this time," He tells me

"WHAT do you mean by that?" Marshall asks him.

He sighs and kneels at Marshall's level. "Marshall, I got a call from someone I know that can help but they need my help first, but take this I know you won't wait for me but be careful, this is not like last time when I could save you if you fall, this is all on you now," He hands Marshall his sword and pats him on the head.

He looks at Chase. "I know this is a lot to put on you but please keep him safe," He asks chase

"You can count on me, sir," He tells him.

He called him sir, He never calls anyone but me sir.

"Wait, like I said YOU GUYS CAN'T GO!" I say trying to get it in their heads.

"Sorry Ryder, but that is one order I can't take," Chase tells me.

"Are you ready Marshall?" He asks him to which he nods.

Then they walk out together off to who knows where. I see Spyro start to walk out too.

"SPYRO!" I yell to get his attention and he looks back.

"I know you are trying your best, but you need to do better," I say firmly.

He replies with a sigh and flies off. I look at the other pups and see they are worried.

"Don't worry guy, they will be fine, just place a little bit of trust in them," I reassure them.

"They aren't the ones we are worried about," Skye said and walked out.

*Marshall pov*

Chase and I make it to our pup houses and get ready. I walk into my pup's house and I take Cinder who was charging on my nightstand and take a red hat Spyro got me one year for my birthday. Then I look at Spyros sword.

It was purple and was slim and curved like a katana but had no cross-guard, it was not too long and had a weird dragon symbol on the handle but the coolest thing of all is that it had six spikes on the blade.

"You like it?" Spyro asks peeking in through the door.

"It's really nice, how did you make something like this?" I ask him amazed by it.

"That is a story for another time but you should head up to Jake's mountain, if you are to find any leads it would be there," He tells me and I nod.

"But I should let you know since I haven't directly told you but Jake, he is dead," He told me with a bit of remorse.

I didn't think when Ryder asked him if HE was dead he would be talking about Jake.

"Okay," I say quietly.

"You can get through this, do it for her," He tells me trying to be hopeful.

"Thanks, I think I need that," I tell him and he scratches the top of my head.

"Just do your best and forget the rest," He tells me and I smile.

*Chase pov*

I am in my pup's house looking for a picture. Scrimmage to find it when Skye walks in.

"What are you looking for now?" She asks me.

"I am looking for the picture we took last year," I tell her.

"The one for the Paw Patrol get-together, it is in your second drawer," She tells me.

Sure enough, it is right where she said it was. "How did you know it was there?" I ask her.

"I put it there to make sure you don't lose it and you still lose it," She tells me.

"What would I do without you?" I ask her.

"You would be a mess but I guess I fell in love with that mess," She tells me and I blush a little.

She comes over and kisses me on the cheek and I blush again and she giggles.

"I would ask if I could come with you but something tells me that would be a bad idea," She tells me.

"We don't need three pups going against Ryder right now," I tell her.

"You know you don't have to do this right, we could just stay here and hope for the best," She tells me.

"We both know I can't do that, what kinda brother would I be if I just let him walk the path of death alone?" I ask her.

"I guess you would be a pretty bad one," she tells me.

"That is why I have to do this not only for Eveest but also for Marshall," I tell her.

"Well promise me one thing," She tells me.

"And what is that?" I ask her.

"Bring her back along with you and Marshall, if any of you died, all four of us will NEVER be the same," She tells me.

"I promise you we will come back alive and well," I tell her.

"Good because I don't want to be burying any of my friends not when so many have died already," She said remorse.

"I will come back but only with them, I need to go now," I tell and look at the picture one more time.

"Take care, Chase," She tells me as I turn on my rig.

I see Marshall doing the same and Spyro flying off. I see Marshall has a new shimmering light in his eyes. Thank you, Spyro, for everything.

"Are you ready Marshall, by the way, have any ideas of where to start?" I ask him.

"Jake's Mountain," He tells me.

"Are you sure you are ready to go there, it won't be easy," I tell him.

"Yes, I have to face my demons at some point," He said which made me smile at how mature he was being.

"Then to Jake's Mountain, we go…"
