Rocky and Chase pulled open the vault door before entering the room, Sweetie entered after them, followed by Zuma. "There it is, the crown of Barkingburg." Sweetie said while walking towards the pedestal in the middle of the vault. "After all this time it's finally mine!" Sweetie picked up the crown, they then heard helicopters outside the castle. "Seems like backup arrived, they definitely took their time." Chase said to the others. "Let's go ahead and get outta here before it gets too bad." Rocky responded, they ran out of the vault and to the main room.
"Fuck!" They heard Everest yell as they entered the room. "What's wrong?" Chase asked. "I see why they took so long, the entire kingdoms police force is here!" Everest yelled to them. "They have the whole Castle surrounded." Marshall said to them aswell. "Have Arrby and Tracker returned?" Sweetie asked them. "No, we haven't seen them since you sent them to search the Castle." Marshall responded. "Zuma, Rocky, Go search for them. Marshall, Everest, You hold the main door. Skye, you go hold the hole in the wall we entered through." Sweetie told everyone, She then called Rubble on the puptag Chase gave her. "Hello" Rubble said. "Rubble, there's a balcony on the Northwest side of the Castle, Pick us up there." Sweetie said to him. "Alright, on the way." Rubble responded. "Chase, follow me." Sweetie said to the German Shepherd. "Yes si- Ma'am." Chase replied.
They both walked up the stairs and went to the meeting room, the same room Chase kidnapped Sweetie in. They entered the room and saw The Princess standing on the balcony, looking over her kingdom. "Hello Princess, or should i say, Former Princess." Sweetie said to her. The Princess turned around and saw Sweetie and Chase standing next to eachother. "S-Sweetie? You're alive!?" The Princess said. "I wouldn't be so happy Princess, Thanks to my new friend here, I'm the Queen of Barkingburg now!" Sweetie said to her. Chase looked at Sweetie and then at The Princess, He was reading their facial expressions. "What do you mean?" The Princess asked. Sweetie put the crown on her head. "You may have locked the crown inside the vault but we managed to get it still." Sweetie responded with a evil smile on her face. "All it took was a small drill and some time." Chase said to her. "Who are you?" The Princess asked. Chase took off his mask then just stared at her. "Chase!? No, there's no way! You died!" The Princess yelled at him. "You may think that but i survived the attempt on my life, it'll take more than a 9mm to kill me." Chase replied. "Princess, We'll give you a deal, Surrender and give up the crown to me willingly and we'll leave you alone. If you don't then you'll spend quite awhile... in the dungeon!" Sweetie said to her. "Really? that's the worst you could come up with?" Chase whispered to her. "She may be my enemy but i don't want her dead, I still care about her." Sweetie whispered back. They both looked back at The Princess. "I'm not giving up the crown to you, especially after everything you've done to my kingdom!" The Princess responed. Chase then raised his rifle and fired a small attachment he had under the barrel at her. "Chase!" Sweetie yelled at him. "Relax, it's only a tranquilizer dart." Chase replied. They both started dragging The Princess to the dungeon.
"Guy's I'm arriving in 5 minutes." They heard Rubble say from their puptags. "Let's put her... in here!" Sweetie said as she started leading Chase to the nearest cell. Chase dropped The Princess in the cell and started walking away. "We should hurry and get out of here." Chase said to her. "You should, I'm gonna stay here." Sweetie responded. "Are you crazy?! The entire police force is outside!" Chase yelled at her. "I'm fully aware, I have a plan." Sweetie said to him. Chase looked at the terrier one more time before running off. "I always have a plan."
"Alright I'm here everyone." Rubble said over the puptags. "Let's go everyone!" Chase yelled to everyone else. They started running towards the meeting room to get on the helicopter, when they got there they saw Arrby, Tracker, Zuma, and Rocky waiting for them. "Where have you guy's been?" Everest asked them. "Searching the Castle, This is the last room we checked." Arrby responded. "No one is hewe." Zuma added. "Me and Sweetie found The Princess, She's been dealt with." Chase said to the others as they got into the helicopter. "Speaking of her, Where is Sweetie?" Rocky asked. "She wanted to stay behind, apparently she has a plan." Chase replied. Soon after they started flying away.
7 hours later.
They arrived back at Ryder's Apartment and noticed the door was opened, they then entered the main room and looked around. The place was a wreck and they found no sign of Ryder anywhere, however, nothing was stolen. "What the fuck happened here?" Everest asked as she entered the room. "I would say that you accidentally blew the place up but it was completely normal when we left." Marshall said to her. "Hey! I don't blow stuff up that often." Everest responded. "It might look like it but this wasn't an explosion, It looks like someone broke in." Chase said to them. "Why would someone bweak into an apawtment but not steal anything?" Zuma asked. "It was likely the ACPD, they must've found out this is where we lived but we were lucky to be in Barkingburg, Ryder wasn't." Chase replied. "There's a computer that's connected to the cameras in Ryder's room, We could check them." Rocky responded. "Let's check them, maybe it'll have a clue to where he is." Chase said while walking towards Ryder's room.
Chase entered and went straight to the computer on Ryder's desk, He went to the main room camera and rewinded the recording. "Nothing... Nothing... Nothi-" Chase stopped when he saw Ryder on the ground surrounded by officers.
"It was the ACPD! He's been captured!"
