Chase entered the main room and told all the pups to stand in formation. "Alright everyone, Ryder was captured by the ACPD and we're going to save him! As his second-in-command I'm taking charge of this mission. Rocky, you try to find his location. the ACPD likely has it on some database and while their security is good, it's not good enough to stop us. Skye, you get your helicopter ready. You're gonna fly us to the location when Rocky finds it. Zuma, Marshall, Everest, You three are coming with me to save him. Everest, Pack some explosives incase we need to get through some doors." Chase said to them all. "What will we do?" Arrby asked, referring to himself and Tracker. "You two hold down the apartment. If any officer's return here, make sure they don't leave." Chase responded. all the pups starting doing what Chase told them to.
Meanwhile, at Humdinger's Lair.
Ryder was tied to a chair, trapped in a part of the city he didn't recognize. He looked in front of him and saw Mayor Humdinger himself standing a few feet away from him. "Hello there Ryder, I see you finally woke up." Humdinger said to him. "What do you want from me?" Ryder asked him. "I want nothing from you, you're merely a hostage. I'm going to use you to lure the rest of the PAW Patrol here." Humdinger said to him(again). "What are you gonna do to them?" Ryder asked him, worried for his pups. "Either arrest them for their crimes or make them suffer." Humdinger told him. Ryder looked down, knowing what he meant by making them suffer.
Back at Ryder's Apartment.
Rocky was desperately searching everywhere he could on the ACPD database looking for any evidence on Ryder's location he could. Eventually he found a communication between Mayor Humdinger and the Chief of the ACPD. "I found something but i don't think you guy's will like it." Rocky said to the other pups. "What is it? is he at the same pwison i was in?" Zuma asked. "No, Mayor Humdinger has him." Rocky told them. "Do you know where exactly he is?" Chase asked him. "Not exactly but i know his general location. He's somewhere near Humdinger Heights." Rocky said to him. "Humdinger isn't the smartest but he wouldn't have him in a public area where hundreds of people travel through, He must be in the basement of the tower." Chase responded. "We should hurry, who knows what Humdinger could be doing to him!" Everest said to them. "I agree, is everyone ready?" Chase asked all the others. They all said yes, Everest, Chase, Zuma, Marshall, and Skye all left the Apartment and got into Skye's helicopter.
"Guy's, be careful! According to their communications the Kitten Catastrophe Crew is gonna be present at Humdinger Heights, They must be expecting you!" Rocky said to the crew over the puptags. "Don't worry, we will." Chase responded. There was a long silence on the helicopter ride, everyone knew what was at risk, none of them joked about the mission like they normally would.
The helicopter landed near the tower, just far enough away that no one noticed them. The pups left the helicopter and started walking towards Humdinger Heights, When they arrived they saw the Kitten Catastrophe Crew outside. "They're really protective of this building, Ryder has to be in here." Chase said to the others. "Sir, it looks like we'll have to fight them to get inside. Are you sure we'll be able to defeat them?" Everest asked him. "The front door isn't the only entrance. The building has plenty of windows, we'll just break in through one of them." Chase responded. The crew walked around the building until they found a window low enough to jump in, they all got through and started looking around for the basement. "Rocky, Do you have a map of the building?" Chase asked him over his puptag. "Yeah, what do you need?" Rocky replied. "Where's the entrance to the basement?" Chase asked him. "Backside of the first floor." Rocky told him. "Okay, thanks." Chase said before hanging up. "C'mon guy's." Chase said to the rest of the crew. they all followed him until they reached the door, Chase tried to open the door but failed. "Fuck! It's locked, Do you have any explosives Everest?" Chase asked the husky. "Yeah but when I detonate this anyone anywhere near this building will hear it." Everest responded. "Alright then, guess we're doing this loud. Plant the Exploives, everyone else get behind whatever cover you can find." Chase said to them.
"3, 2, 1."
The door was gone and they immediately started rushing down the stairs, the alarm soon went off. "Guy's, the comm's have gone crazy, The entire ACPD knows you're there!" They heard Rocky yell over their puptags. "We know." Marshall responded.
Meanwhile, at Humdinger's Lair.
"It seems your "Friends" have arrived. For year's you and your crew have caused chaos in this city, but no longer. Today is the day it ends!" Humdinger said to Ryder. "Kitten Catastrophe Crew! Kill the PAW Patrol." Humdinger said over the KCC...puptags. "Really? Your kittens are the only thing between my crew of trained professionals and you?" Ryder asked him. "No, i have other plans. Just in case." Humdinger responded.
Back to the PAW Patrol.
The four of them were running down the stairs, they knew they didn't have much time. when they reached the bottom it opened up into a large area. "Woah, since when was there an entire... lab... underneath adventure city?" Everest asked the others. "I don't know, This wasn't on any map I've ever seen. as far as I'm aware this building shouldn't even have a basement." Chase responded.
The entire group soon heard footsteps behind them, they turned around and saw the entire Kitten Catastrophe Crew in front of them. "Damnit, guess we're fighting anyway!" Everest yelled to whoever could hear her. The Catastrophe Crew opened fire upon them, Marshall pushed Everest behind cover before returning fire. Surprisingly the Catastrophe Crew ran out of ammo very quickly and it didn't take much effort for the four of them to get rid of the entire crew. "That was way easiew then i expected." Zuma said to them. "Yeah, for how much the ACPD hyped them up i kinda expected an actual challenge." Chase replied. They then started looking around for Ryder, or at least evidence of where he could be.
"PAW Patrol, You may have defeated my Catastrophe Crew but you've yet to defeat me! I suggest you surrender now or your leader won't be seeing the sun again." All the pups heard Humdinger say over the intercoms. "Don't trust him, even if we surrender he'll do it." Chase said to the other pups.
They kept looking around and soon noticed a large metal door. "Everest, Do you think you can destroy this door?" Chase asked the husky. "Maybe, but y'know, we could use the Open button that's on this desk?" Everest responded. "Fair point, that might be a better idea." Chase replied. Everest pressed the button and all four of them walked up to the door, once it fully opened they entered the room. However, they stopped moving when they saw what was in the room. They saw Ryder tied down to a chair in the middle of the room, with a blindfold over his eyes. Next to him was Mayor Humdinger, who had Ryder at gunpoint.
"This is the end, PAW Patrol. Today will be the day your reign of terror over this city end's!" Humdinger said to them. The pups just stood there and stared at him, they knew that if they reached for their weapons he'd pull the trigger. "You wouldn't dare." Chase said to him. "You really think i wouldn't?" Humdinger asked him, Chase stayed silent. "It has been 5 year's since you started terrorizing this city, I became the Mayor by promising to end your organization, And i fully intend to do just that." Humdinger said to the four pups. Chase looked at Ryder, Ryder looked back at him, despite the blindfold covering his eyes. Chase reached behind him and grabbed the grip of his revolver.
"Goodbye, PAW Patrol."
*BANG*
"Ryder!" Chase yelled. Him, Marshall, Zuma, and Everest pulled out their weapons and opened fire on Humdinger, something the Mayor didn't expect. After he fell to the ground Chase and Marshall immediately ran up to Ryder. "Marshall, can you save him!?" Chase asked the dalmatian, panicking. Marshall checked his pulse and stayed silent for a few seconds.
"Chase... He's gone."
Those words impacted Chase heavily, His anger turned into sadness as he lowered his head and tried his best to hold back tears. The other two pups looked at them and waited. After what felt like an eternity Chase raised his head and looked at the other pups. "Guy's, help me get him out of here." Chase said to the others. "Skye, meet us outside." Chase said to the cockapoo over his puptag. "Did you save Ryder?" Skye asked him. Chase stayed silent and after a few seconds he hung up the call.
10 minutes later.
The four pups were putting Ryder in the helicopter, Skye walked over to help them. Once they got him in the helicopter she noticed blood on one side of his head. "Is Ryder okay?" Skye asked the others. Worried that the worst had happened. Everyone looked at her in silence before Chase spoke.
"Ryder's gone."
