The World Has Fallen
Chapter 4
Welcome to the fourth chapter of The World Has Fallen.
Atlas: HAHAHAHA! I'm Back. The posting of this tells all of you that I am back and graduated Army Basic Combat Training. I have now done that and now in College and other things going on. Chapter 5 is now being worked on as well.
Warning! More deaths will occur in this chapter and be warned that a scene will be heavily violent with lots of blood and gore. You will see the warning when you arrive at it.
Adventure Bay: Top of Lookout
Chase, Fuchs, and Rosalie would be at the top of the Lookout. Next to them would be Stark and Koda. Across from them would be the rest of the Paw Patrol. Chase would be stoic at this time even though inside he would be falling apart.
Chase and his Nightwatchers would stand at attention waiting to be called on.
"Chase, you have news for us?" Stark would ask.
Chase would simply nod and say, "Yes sir." He would then look over to Fuchs saying with his face, "You do this please."
Fuchs would nod and step forward, "I'll speak for Chase on his behalf right now. Furthermore, the news we have is that the Atlas Wolves are no longer."
The PAW Patrol would smile a bit thinking that the terrorist were finally gone.
But Fuchs would continue, "They have become the Atlas Militia. Lupe has been betrayed and wants to make China and Russia pay."
The shock would be seen throughout the room. Stark, Koda, and the rest of the canines would look at the Nightwatchers like they were crazy to think such a thing.
"WHAT?!" Stark would shout in the slighlents.
Fuchs would continue with what he was going to say, "Lupe himself as well as a few of his most loyal members will be coming here. Chase and I will personally meet him at the beach, for he will be coming from the sea. He has promised to hand over three terabytes worth of data on the Chinese and Russian projects and weapons."
"What is the ASF thinking?" Stark would demand. The German Shorthaired Pointer nearly baring teeth in anger. "You know we can't trust him."
"Hey, I don't like him any more than you do. But Atlas pointed out that Lupe has kept his word and hasn't attacked any Allies of ours. The latest intel also says that his forces are causing chaos in Iran and parts of Pakistan. Yes he has done things but we are on the brink of war the enemy of our enemy is our friend," Fuchs reasoned.
Stark would snort, "I refused to put you in danger with that wolf."
"Hate to break it to you, but these are our orders and you can't order us to do anything. These orders are directly from the top," Fuchs stated, "Don't you jump rank Stark."
Stark would let out a breath and turn away from Fuchs, "When is he supposed to arrive?" the pointer would exhale in defeat.
"Tomorrow," Fuchs would answer.
"Ok."
Suddenly Chase would get up and leave the room through the elevator. Before the doors could close Everest would drop out and join him in the elevator. Koda and Stark wouldn't say a thing while the rest of the canines stayed at attention with Marshall being the only one knowing why Everest just disregarded and fell out of formation.
Knowing what Chase and the Nightwatchers lost and a friend that the PAW Patrol lost Stark wouldn't even be mad. He wouldn't even bring it up the next time they fall in.
Koda would then take over and would start briefing the PAW Patrol. Stark would leave and exit the Lookout completely. Fuchs and Rosalie would also leave and go over to their Earthroamer and try and console each other. Chase would be by the old Oak tree where he and the rest of the PAW Patrol would play. The place where before the first terrorist attack, before everything. Everest would be right next to him while other soldiers would walk past and other things going on. Chase would sigh and look out over the ocean.
Everest would be sitting right next to him and making sure he doesn't do something stupid. She would look over to him to study his features and would see that he is just depressed and broken on the inside.
"I never thought I would lose her so soon," Chase would suddenly say. Surprising Everest but she would try to answer.
"I know it hurts. We are all here to help if you-" She would cut off.
"I know Everest. It's just so sudden. I appreciate your help, but I just need some time. Skye and I have just basically gone through hell at least three times now. We have all cheated death and it just came to bite us and now has taken Skye," Chase would then shudder, "Death will catch us all but the new question is… when."
Everest was speechless but then was about to say something but Chase would continue, "Skye and I wanted pups of our own. Sadly we never got the chance." Chase would start to shed a few tiers of sadness. Everest would notice and would get closer and put a paw on his shoulder. From there, Chase's emotions would overflow and the loss of Skye would hit him like a freight train.
Somewhere In Russia
Deckard and Sweetie were busy running through the thick forest while trying not to get shot by the mercenaries and bounty hunters sent to kill them. Deckard and Sweetie were walking through the forest while keeping an eye out for trouble, Sweetie would tell Deckard that Storm wanted the Cemetery Wind Global Reaction Force gone from Adventure Bay to make it easy on their attack on both Adventure Bay and the Cemetery Wind operatives. Deckard would learn that Storm would find out about his and Sweetie's love for each other and would try and have her secretly killed in the firefight, however, nothing went according to plan for Storm's gang. First Sweetie would get away from the kill squad and warn Deckard about the attack which caused Deckard and Sweetie to escape the attack and the rest of Cemetery Wind would leave Ukraine and head back to the States forcing Storm's hitmen to attack them midair. Next, another Pokemon, a known ally of Killshot and Sidian would save the Cemetery Wind operatives that didn't get killed allowing them to make it safely back to an airbase in Qatar and they're now on their way to a military base somewhere in London, UK where they would get a C-17 to take them back to Adventure Bay. Now Deckard and Sweetie have been able to outsmart and outwit over a hundred mercenaries, hitmen, and bounty hunters sent to kill them.
Sweetie and Deckard were busy dodging bullets as they tried to make it to Sweetie's aircraft. Deckard suddenly collided with someone causing Deckard, Sweetie, and an unknown canine down a long hill and off a small cliff into the water below. The killers sent by Storm peaked over and proceeded to fire bullets, grenades, and rockets into the cliff and water causing massive amounts of rocks to fall into the water. Deckard, Sweetie, and the unknown canine pulled themselves out of the water, but they immediately came face-to-face with multiple canines dressed in black, each one of them had a deadly-looking rifle in their front paws.
"Shit," Deckard cursed under his breath as he saw the predicament that he, Sweetie, and another canine were in.
A female husky came forward to greet them, "Hello, Mr. Lennox."
Deckard proceeded to pull out one of his pistols to shoot her, but the husky was faster and threw another electrical shock bomb at the three canines. The bomb went off sending a powerful electrical surge through their bodies, Deckard dropped to the ground and saw that he and his two companions were being surrounded.
"W-w-who are… you?" Deckard asked weakly.
"You'll find out soon enough, Mr. Lennox," said the female husky.
Deckard looked to his left and saw Sweetie's unconscious form, Deckard then looked to his left and saw another unconscious figure that he could recognize no matter what.
"Scout" Deckard whispered before falling unconscious himself.
The female husky smirked that everything was going according to plan, "Alright, let's get a move on."
The canines surrounding Deckard, Sweetie, and Scout pulled out tools and began to work.
XXX
By the time the kill squad made their way to the bottom of the cliff all they found were three bloody collars with tags, but no bodies. They did however question where the third tag came from because there were only two targets that they were supposed to kill.
Meanwhile, near the airstrip, Deckard had teleported with Sweetie and their unknown guest. Deckard and Sweetie got banged up and were bleeding a little.
"Sweetie, are you alright?" Asked Deckard, as he helped his mate up.
"Yeah, I'm a little banged up but I'll be fine, who's our friend?" Asked Sweetie.
Deckard turned his head and he came face-to-face with the last person he thought he would ever see. Standing before Deckard was a young gray wolf pup mix breed with short spiky dark gray fur and emerald green-colored eyes. Deckard and the pup locked eyes for a long time just staring at each other like they were trying to burn a hole into each other's head.
"Scout," said Deckard, with a sneer.
"Hey Deckard, long time no see," said Scout.
The Next Day:
Several Miles off the Coast: Lupe's Super Yacht the AMS (Atlas Militia Ship) Esquel.
Time: 0910 (9:10 am)
Lupe and the crew of the heavily weaponized and modified super yacht would be getting two small brand new sea breacher jet skis armed with two gimbaled 50 caliber guns. After that, they would use the internal crane to put a much more armored/armed speed boat into the water from the yacht's internal storage. The jet skis will act as an escort while the yacht provides long-range support if needed with its missile bays.
Soon enough, Lupe, Artemis, Redstone, and Curtis would board the speed boat while crew members would get to the spots and man the many weapons on the boat with the new remotely controlled mark-30 30mm cannon in the front, two manned Browning 50 cal. machine guns in the back, as well as two miniguns on each side of the helm.
The two jet skis came along and got into an escorting position on either side of the boat as it accelerated to the coast of Adventure Bay.
"Unidentified vessel. This is the United States Coast Guard. You are in restricted waters. State your business. Over," Came over the radio.
Before one of Lupe's soldiers responded with the typical Atlas Wolf style, Lupe would take the radio and speak, "This is Lupe Hariwulf, I have the authorization to be here to transfer much-needed data to the United States. Contact Chase Hunter or Fuchs Blitzkrieg of the ASF they can vouch for me and my vessels. Over."
Silent would follow and Lupe would get impatient for every moment he was on hold. After getting closer and closer to the bay and passing Seal Island, the radio would come back to life, "Stand by. You are confirmed. Dock on the pier in the bay. Over."
"Roger that. Over," Lupe would respond and then put the radio up. He would look to his fellow wolves and fox, "Stay alert but also behave."
Minutes later Lupe and his soldiers would be docking the boats and Lupe with Redstone, Curtis, and Artemis would exit and head off the pier. On the beach waiting for them would be Fuchs, Chase, Rosalie, and a Husky Lupe hasn't seen before in person but according to her appearance, he would notice it was Everest of the PAW Patrol. Behind them would be several armed guards from the US Army as well as a few artillery pointed out to sea. Lupe and his closest would approach the three Nightwatchers and PAW Patrol members as his own guards would stand ready behind him.
Lupe would hold his head high and look Chase dead in the eyes. The two leaders would look into each other's souls. Both are fairly good at reading faces. Lupe saw that there was a hole in Chase's heart, lost. Who did he lose? Hmm "Where's his lover, Skye?"
"Hmm," Lupe would start as the tension was straining. "It is good to finally see you in person Chase. Fuchs, good to see you."
Before Fuchs could answer Chase would speak, "The pleasure is all mine, Lupe. Now, you have the drive?"
Lupe would reach over his back. All of the US soldiers would raise their weapons making Lupe stop, "Have them lower their weapons, and then you can have it."
"No. Hand it over, then they will," Chase would counter.
Redstone let out a growl and before he could do anything Lupe would raise a paw to stop him while also signaling for his soldiers to also raise their weapons, "We are going to do a fair exchange of information." He would now have the drive in his paw. "Here is my end of the deal." Lupe would hand over the drive. Chase would take it and hand it over to Fuchs so he can check it with his computer.
After Fuchs checked the drive was full of folders of shipping and projects that Absergo had, "The data is good sir," Fuchs would finally confirm.
Chase would then wave a paw and the soldiers would lower their weapons. In sync, Lupe's soldiers would as well.
"What is the latest you have on Storm?" Lupe would ask, wanting their end of the deal.
Chase would look him dead in the eyes and respond, "We have already lost one of our members to them. Skye Cadieux was killed. We are to stay here at this time. About where he may be, we have no clue. Things are ready for we expect a raid by him soon."
Lupe would lose his composure for a moment and say in a genuine tone, "I'm sorry for your loss. I knew you two loved each other." Lupe's words would shock the Nightwatchers for they never knew Lupe had emotions. "Losing a family member is… hard. Surprisingly enough I can relate. All I can say is stay strong."
Chase would try to stay stoic but Lupe saw that Skye meant a lot to him, the Nightwatchers, and the PAW Patrol. Chase would nod and say, "Thank you. She would want me to move on and there is a battle to be fought."
"Exactly." Lupe would state. The wolf would then smile and then look back to Artemis who would also smile. This would make Curtis smile and Redstone neutral as ever but not angry. In return, Chase would smile and nod again. Everest would also smile. No one could even comprehend that the leader of the late Atlas Wolves was able to smile until today. Lupe has a family with him, his mate, son, and best friend. Chase would now see the relationship and have a change of heart about Lupe and would start to connect the dots.
As Chase started to have a casual conversation with Lupe, Fuchs, Rosalie, and Everest would break formation and approach the past enemies.
Just then, as if nothing else could go wrong, 4 air raid sirens would start to blast through the militarized town, and before anyone could react Chase would notice three missiles coming from the forest. Everything went into slow motion as he saw their path. The three missiles would travel through the air directly to the Lookout, Chase's past memories of the Lookout being destroyed flashed in his head so fast that he couldn't tell what was real anymore. Within an instant, the Lookout was wiped off the face of the earth for the third time in the past five years.
Troops started moving, shots being fired, Chase, Lupe, and their own parties ducking their heads, Lupe having to forcefully push Chase into the sand as Artemis covered Curtis with her body and Redstone tried to get to their soldiers to identify where the missiles came from.
Chase would be in a state of shock with his ears ringing as explosions would start to fill the air as the Americans returned fire from where Chase could see other bullet tracers coming from the forest. M1 Abrams tanks would be firing into the forest with some success minimizing the fire. When Chase got back to his senses he would get up and deploy his own weapons and try to return fire at an enemy he couldn't see.
Redstone would get in contact with the Esquel and designate a target with a laser pointer. He would then shout, "Missiles inbound from the Esquel."
Chase would look out to sea and see the yacht as five smoke trails left it and went into the sky only seconds later to hit dead on in the forest. It took a few seconds for everyone to realize that they were no longer being fired upon. Troops would start to storm the forest with vehicles and tanks as fire crews rushed to the rubble that was the Lookout to put out the fires and tend to any injured.
Without another word, Everest would start to run to the destroyed Lookout with Chase right behind her. Fuchs, Rosalie, Lupe, Artemis, and Curtis would just watch as the two ran to where they knew where their friends were last seen.
Somewhere In Russia
Deckard and Scout continue to look at each other with cold dark eyes until Sweetie decides it was time to step in between them.
"Okay, before you two psycho killers try to kill one another, let me remind you two that we still have a kill squad trying to kill us," said Sweetie.
"Why are you here, Scout?" Asked Deckard, not liking the situation he was in. His team was who knows where and he hasn't been able to contact Rocky, the Nightwatchers, or the other PAW Patrol members, and now he was here in a hostel country with his secret girlfriend and his former brother-in-arms turned most hated enemy.
"I know you have no right to trust me, hell, I wouldn't trust myself after what I did," said Scout.
"What did you do?" Asked Deckard.
"The truth is that I never betrayed the military or my country. The President pulled me aside and told me that I was the best choice for a deep undercover assignment and told me that I needed to betray you and Cemetery Wind" said Scout.
"Why?" Asked Deckard.
"Apparently the organization known as the Blackgate Hellfire Club is an evil organization from the pokemon world, your friends Killshot and Sidian were the two of the three pokemon who battle these guys on a daily basis" Said Scout.
"What about the other members?" Asked Deckard, questioning the status of the other animals that worked with Scout and that Obstagoon pokemon name Slasher.
"The hyena twins, Ripjaws and Slicer are actually undercover DEA agents, Ripjaws's real name is Zephyr Sharptooth, and Slicer's real name is Fate Sharptooth. Sadly whoever set your team up also blew our cover and Fate was killed" said Scout.
"Where's Zephyr?" Asked Deckard.
"He's at Sweetie's plane, keeping an eye on the surrounding area," said Scout, "We're actually very close to it."
Suddenly more shots hit the tree right next to them. The bullets all hit the trees, missing their heads by mere inches.
"RUN!" Yelled Deckard, as he, Sweetie, and Scout took off for the airbase and their ride home.
Once the three canines got onto the airbase they made their way over to the airstrip where the plane was parked. Zephyr was coming down the entrance ramp when he saw Deckard, Sweetie, and Scout running over.
"Let's get his plane airborne quickly," said Sweetie.
Just then a bullet struck Deckard in the right side of his neck. However, instead of dropping dead, Deckard got down on all four paws and started to let out a nasty growl. Dark red and purple energy started to surround Deckard, with Sweetie, Scout, and Zephyr starting to back away from him out of fear knowing what was happening. Deckard let out a horrifying scream as a mix of dark red and purple light engulfed him, and when the light faded, Deckard's alter ego, the sadistic, psychopathic killer of hell was standing there, ready to feed.
WARNING EXTREME BLOOD AND GORE SCENE!
The kill squad came upon the group of canines and when they saw the creature only known as Nightmare standing there, looking at them with razor-sharp white teeth, hid deadly jagged-looking claws, hid two snake-like tails with space tips, and black and dark gray colored bat wings coming out of his back. It freaked everyone out a bit because the last time the Nightmare was seen he only had one tail and no wings, but now that he has two tails and bat wings makes him even more deadly than before.
The kill squad decided to say fuck it and started to shoot at Nightmare, who in response teleported directly above the kill squad and attacked them with sheer bloodlust aggression. After Nightmare teleported above the kill squad he dropped down landing on the back of one of the killers and stabbed his back paws' deadly-looking claws into his back and then proceeded to take his right front paw and smashed it into the back of the guy's head. Nightmare pulled his paw out of the guy's head, pulling brain and skull fragments out, leaving a hole in the back of the dude's head and a big pool of blood forming around the dead body. The other members stood in shock and some were even considering running away but continued attacking the demon wolf. Nightmare proceeded to teleport behind two more kill squad members and use his tails to stab them into their heads and when he pulled them out, he had pulled out their skulls as well, destroying their heads. Nightmare then went on a slashing/biting spree, using his jagged claws and razor teeth to tear the bodies completely apart. Sweetie, Scout, and Zephyr just stood there as Nightmare soaked himself and the surrounding area in blood and bone. Nightmare had flesh in his teeth and he was covered in blood from his ears to his tails. Nightmare was letting off a sadistic laugh like he lost his sanity. Multiple armor vehicles and tanks were approaching the four canines while a few attack helicopters approach from the air, Nightmare let out a vicious yell as he slammed his two front paws into the ground causing massive energy to disperse from his claws toward the approaching ground vehicles, and once the energy made contact with the tanks and other armor vehicles, it was like a massive bomb went off. The tanks and armored vehicles exploded into fragments which acted as missiles as the fragments shot towards the attack helicopters cutting through them like paper. The helicopters would fall one by one and crash and burn to the ground. Just as Nightmare turned to leave, his eyes caught a soldier crawling out of one of the destroyed helicopters. Smiling, Nightmare stalked over to the wounded soldier and pounced on him like a predator with his prey, and then Nightmare proceeded to use his bare fist and beat the soldier to death. After a few swings, Nightmare began to headbutt the soldier who was already dead, but Nightmare just kept on headbutting him and attacking him all over until Nightmare was drenched in the soldier's blood and the body looked like a pile of goo with crushed bone pieces in it. Nightmare let out a monstrous howl, as he signaled his victory, and then left to head back to the others. Nightmare returned to the others who just looked at him in pure shock and horror. Nightmare smiled at them before turning back into Deckard and falling face forward unconscious.
END OF VIOLENT SCENE!
Scout and Zephyr helped Deckard onto the plane while Sweetie fired up the engines and took off towards Adventure Bay. Once Sweetie's plane was in the air and with how advanced it was just like she said and with how fast it was going, they were going to be back home in no time. However, as the plane was taking off none of them noticed a dead body that looked a lot like Zephyr lying down with a shotgun round through his body hidden in the grass.
Adventure Bay, The Destroyed Lookout
Barkingburg Castle Fire replays in Chase's head as he rushes to the scene of the destroyed Lookout. Soldiers were all over the place, some running to others who were caught in the explosion, some crying out in pain, and others just trying to do something to put out the flames and uncover fellow brothers and sisters in the rubble.
Chase would bolt to the nearest high-ranking officer he could see. Not knowing what to do Everest would just follow him.
Chase would come up to a captain and ask, "Captain, sir, who was all on the Lookout when the missiles hit it?"
"The entire PAW Patrol sir. We are trying to remove the rubble as fast as we can but we haven't been able to pinpoint their exact locations. We are just guessing," the captain would respond, "All we have found so far are canine remains too soaked in blood to identify. We have found Koda in one piece and he's still alive. He will survive."
Just then a sergeant would run up to the Captain and Chase, "Gentleman, we have found one of the canines of the PAW Patrol," he would then look to Chase and Everest, "He's not alive… and we have identified him as Zuma. We have started removing rubble in that area, hopefully going to find them."
"Hold on sergeant," Chase would interrupt. "I can sniff them out. Let's not waste any time."
Chase would be keeping his high demeanor relying completely on his training not to fall apart for a second in the past 24 hours. Everest would be trying to hold back tiers but they would occasionally fall from her eyes right now she and Chase had a job to do.
Chase would start sniffing the rubble trying to get his friend's scents in this bloody burned wreck that used to be home a long time ago. Everest would be right next to him doing the same trying to fight through the emotions.
Chase would search for about five minutes and then get the unmistakable scent of Rocky. Who, according to the scent, was still alive, injured, but alive.
"Over here!" Chase would shout, "Rocky is right here."
Everest and Chase would then work together to remove some large pieces of debris with all their strength. Not a moment too soon two more soldiers would arrive and help remove the debris. After it was removed, Chase could see Rocky's paw sticking out of the rubble. It looked like he was under a beam that fell in a way that protected him from the rest of the collapse.
"Rocky, it's Chase. Please speak," Chase ordered the paw.
"Ch… Chase?" came Rocky's voice that sounded horse and filled with smoke.
"It's me and Everest. Hold on, we are going to get you out. Just stay with us. Is there anyone you remember next to you?"
"Uh… Trak..er and I was talking cough cough when the Lookout collapsed. He was next to me cough," Rocky would answer.
"Just hold on Rocky," Chase would say back while a bunch of other soldiers would arrive and help heave the debris aside and would uncover Rocky's face. The only thing now pinning him was the beam that was a blessing and a curse. Blessing for he wasn't completely crushed, the curse is that he's stuck and can't move.
"Alright, Rocky, this is going to hurt a lot but it will get you out of there alright," Chase told the mixed breed.
"Just get me out already," Rocky demanded.
"Alright, everyone try and lift that beam, Everest, pull Rocky out when he is free," Chase ordered. Everyone would nod as well as Everest who got into position to pull Rocky out when possible, "Three. Two. One! LIFT!"
Chase and all the soldiers would grunt as they lifted the beam out of the way entirely and Everest pulled Rocky out with the mix shouting in pain. Two medics would then rush over and pick Rocky up and take him over to the medical tent. Meanwhile lifting the beam revealed a lot more than what Chase wanted to see. Under it, he would find Rubble or what he thought was Rubble completely flattened by the beam that fell. Other canine parts would be scattered all over. Everest would look to where Chase was staring and would gasp so hard that Chase thought she was about to have a heart attack.
Chase looked away from the carnage and death to look at Everest who seemed to be slowly breaking down. He would rush over to her making sure not to get himself stuck in the loose rubble and debris. He would come to her side and realize that both of them were covered in soot making her white lavender coat blackened and dirty along with the gear that they had on them at the time.
Everest would notice his presents and look at him, "Chase!" she would then lean all the way into him, breaking down completely, "Why did this just happen?" she would whimper.
"I… I don't know," Chase didn't know how else to answer. He looked down again and then noticed part of an ear on the ground. A big ear, one that could have only been Tracker's. He would then look over to some rubble and activate his flashlight for the smoke was now covering out the sun and it looked like night. He would get a peek into the pile and would see Tracker's head, not moving. Upon further inspection, Chase would notice that a piece of rebar was right through his skull. All he hoped for was that it was quick and painless.
"Tracker, Rubble, and Zuma," Chase would say to himself. Everest would look up to him.
"Do you think Marshall…" she didn't want to finish her thought.
Before he could answer another soldier would shout across the debris, "We found Marshall! Over here."
Before another word, Chase and Everest would rush over to the other side of the debris where they heard the soldier shout. They would jump over gaps in the rubble, making sure not to get stuck themselves all in an effort to get to Marshall and hope he is still alive.
When they got to the soldier they would notice that Fuchs and Rosalie were also there. Rosalie was right next to Marshall, who was alive but didn't look good at all. Chase and Everest would run to Marshall with Everest getting supper close to him.
"Marshall!" She said coming up to nuzzle him. Chase would look to Rosalie who would make eye contact with him. She would then let out a sigh and shook her head slowly as if saying, "I did my best but… he won't make it."
Chase would look down as he approached Marshall. Rosalie would then speak in a whisper to Chase, "His right lung is punctured, several arteries have been severed, and his heart is failing. By the time we get the rest of the rubble off him, he will die before we can do anything more."
Chase would take a breath and then say, "Thank you, Rosalie. You did what you could."
The female arctic fox would put a paw on her leader's shoulder and nod. Chase would then slowly walk over to Marshall and Everest. Everest would read his face and then start to cry vocally now.
"Marshall, please don't go," the husky begged, "What about our plans? What about the future puppies that we wanted."
"I'm sorry Everest. I'm sorry we never had the time. Cough cough I'm sorry I was so late to tell you yes." Marshall struggled to say.
"What am I going to do without you?" the husky sobbed, "What are we going to do?" She motioned to Chase to include him.
Marshall would answer, "You are going to keep living. I will always be with both of you. The same as Skye." Marshall would then go into a coughing fit trying to stop himself but when the coughing finally subsided he spoke again, "Think of it this way. I'll get to be with Ryder and Skye. And when it is your time you will join us too."
"Marshall-" Chase started.
"Chase, you have been my brother for years. cough I'm sorry I acted the way I did when you joined Fuchs. I now finally get it, cough cough because cough if you didn't we would have all been dead a while ago," Marshall was starting to struggle to breathe now. His injuries started to catch up to him, "Keep fighting the good fight."
Chase had to come to terms with the world now. He would step close to Marshall and hug the Dally as best he could.
"Just one more thing Chase coughs."
"Anything," Chase said.
"Take care of Everest, please. You need each other now more than ever," Marshall said smiling.
"I will Marshall, I promise," Chase started lowering his head and breaking away from the hug.
Chase would then give Everest some breathing space as she went to hug Marshall more, his blood soaking her fur as she did.
"Marshall," Everest sobbed.
"It's ok Everest. I will see you again and I will always be with you and Chase. Just like Skye, just like Ryder, just like all of our fallen friends. Cough Just keep going knowing that I love you," Marshall concluded, "When this is all over, find someone and live out your dream."
Blood, sweat, and tears would have soaked Everest as she saw her love drift off into a never-ending sleep with his spirit leaving his body and Marshal would succumb to his injuries and join Ryder, Skye, Zuma, Rubble, and Tracker in Heaven.
When Marshall slipped away, Everest would start to cry even more. She would lean on Chase for help but he too would be overwhelmed with emotions from the death of his mate, friends, and brother. Fuchs and Rosalie would come to their friends' aid and try to help them have someone to cry to.
The German Shepherd ASF Agent and the PAW Patrol Husky would just sit together as medics covered up Marshall's body and prepared to extract him from the rubble as well as the other PAW Patrol members' remains. As the three Nightwatchers and Husky sat watching the soldiers start to clean up. A jet would be flying in from the sky, it being none other than Deckard and his comrades Sweetie, Scout, and Zephyr.
XXX
Lupe, Artemis, Redstone, Curtis, and Lupe's other wolf members that came with him to shore would have arrived at the remains of the Lookout instead of watching everything unfold. Lupe would order that he and his members help clean up and put out the remaining fires. Some of the American soldiers were shocked to see an old foe helping but would welcome it nonetheless.
Lupe would get the news that Rocky and Koda were still alive but injured, and also the news of the deaths of Tracker, Rubble, Zuma, and Marshall.
"Oh my Lord," the wolf would respond to the news, "How are Chase and Everest taking it?"
"It doesn't look like well," Redstone would respond looking over.
"I don't think anyone would," Artemis would say coming up to the two, "They just lost five friends and significant others within 24 hours if not less."
"I couldn't imagine that we were the cause of something like this in the past," Lupe stated solemnly.
"We probably were," Redstone would say in a long embarrassed tone.
Then suddenly the Atlas Militia members would see Sweetie's jet land nearby. However, they wouldn't know it was Sweetie's jet because the smoke wasn't fully clear and they could barely see it, to begin with.
"Who could that be?" Curtis asked his father.
"No idea, but must be a friend if they were not shot down yet. Let alone they just landed," Lupe would answer his son, "Let's keep helping clean this up but be on guard just in case."
Deckard's Team Arriving at Adventure Bay
Deckard, Sweetie, Scout, and Zephyr saw the Lookout destroyed when they came into land, Deckard was still covered in dried blood and looked like a complete mess, but still did not want to rest until he saw the others again. The back ramp opened up and the four canines stepped out. Deckard had a katana in his left front paw and one of his SAI RED pistols in his right front paw. Sweetie was holding a SAI Benelli M4 Tactical shotgun while Scout and Zephyr each had an M16 in their paws. The soldiers noticed the four new canines that just arrive, noticing three of them are wanted terrorists, but the fourth one was the legendary canine soldier Captain Deckard Lennox, so they paid no attention to why he was with three dangerous criminals.
Deckard and his comrades were walking towards the wreckage of the Lookout when someone caught Deckard's eye. Deckard looked to see who it was and when he saw Sweetie, Scout, Zephyr, or any of the soldiers didn't realize what was going on until it was too late. When Deckard found out who it was and without thinking, he dropped his weapons and ran towards his target, and tackled him to the ground.
Lupe was standing with Artemis and Redstone, talking to them when he was suddenly tackled from the right side and thrown to the ground violently with his attacker on top of him. Once Lupe was able to regain his focus he saw who his attacker was. Lupe was staring at the golden eyes of a white wolf with silver scales who was covered in dried blood. Lupe knew who this canine was just as much as Deckard knew who the gray timber wolf was.
Finally, Deckard and Lupe were face-to-face, eye-to-eye.
Deckard brought his left paw down and hit Lupe across the face, Lupe kicked Deckard off of him and proceeded to hit him with a right hook. Deckard recoiled from the punch, but just cracked a smile and charged at Lupe, sending both of the three pieces of debris and chunks of rubble from the Lookout.
Artemis and Redstone couldn't comprehend what was happening or who attacked Lupe. Sweetie, Scout, and Zephyr ran over to where Deckard had disappeared. Artemis and Redstone were surprised to see Sweetie just as Sweetie was surprised to see them. The five of them then realized that it was Deckard and Lupe beating the life out of one another, who were busy punching each other.
Lupe elbowed Deckard in the nose, to which Deckard responded by grabbing Lupe and delivering a spinebuster to Lupe before delivering multiple knees and elbow strikes to the head and midsection of Lupe's body. Lupe picked Deckard up and slammed him to the ground and then bashed his left forearm to the nose of Deckard. Deckard blocked one of the strikes and then grabbed both of Lupe's front arms before taking his left heel and proceeding to bring it down hard on Lupe's shoulder of his right front leg.
By now all the surrounding soldiers had noticed the two canines beating the living hell out of one another, but no one had the heart to get in there and stop them. Who wants to either stop something or get their ass handed to them on a silver plate by some of the world's most powerful and strong canines?
Chase and Everest would still be morning over Marshall's limp body when they started to hear the commotion of a battle. Fuchs and Rosalie would snap out of the trance they were in and look to where Lupe and Deckard were fighting. What they saw was a scene that not only surprised them but also angered them for the sight of Sweetie ignited flashbacks and promises they wanted to fulfill.
Fuchs would run to the fight but instead of trying to stop it he would attack Sweetie's flank and take her off guard by shoving his full weight into her making her stumble into some embers of the dying fire.
She would yelp in pain as she was punched and burned in the coals. Fuchs would then draw his pistol and put the barrel right to her head. Right before he pulled the trigger, Scout knocked Fuchs to the ground and tried to pound him into the pavement but the sly fox was too quick and got out of the way just as Scout's paws impacted the ground.
Fuchs would get some distance between him and Scout and would draw his sniper and shout, "Scout Roadcliff, Sweetie Jane! You are under arrest for treason, murder, and a plethora of other crimes! Stand Down now!"
The soldiers would snap out of it and join Fuchs and would raise their rifles at the other three. Rosalie would also deploy her rifle and join at Fuchs's side.
Meanwhile, Deckard and Lupe were still beating the living shit out of each other but soon enough they would break away from the fight to orient themselves. Deckard had no allies to back him up and Redstone, Artemis, and Curtis would get to their leader's side and bare their teeth. Lupe would wipe his muzzle and chuckle, "It's not like you to bring a band of criminals into the States Deckard."
"Shut up!" Deckard shouted, "They have my back." He didn't realize that his friends were surrounded and had no way to help him.
"Well, it seems like I have more friends than you," just as Lupe said that a full platoon of soldiers would back up Lupe and have their rifles raised at Deckard.
"Captain Lennox!" Said one of the soldiers, "This is Lieutenant Tuminello of the US Army. Stand down."
Deckard would refuse, "Fuck no! Not when you are protecting a known terrorist." The mix would then draw his own weapons and raise them at Lupe and his family. The soldiers would aim at Deckard just waiting to pull the trigger.
Then out of the blue. BANG! A single shot rang in the air. Deckard and Lupe would look to where the shot came from and it was Chase with and crying Everest at his side and dried tiers of his own on his fur. He would be covered in not his own blood and soot from the smoke and ash. He was still holding up his pistol which had just a little bit of smoke coming from it.
"All of you stand down!" He shouted in a pain-soaked voice. "Deckard! Get yourself together and get your friends under control. You have lost your fucking mind."
"But…" Deckard would start to argue.
"NOW!" Chase shouted so loud and with so much authority, it echoed from the rubble like it was the ghosts of the fallen talking with him.
Deckard would put away his weapons and the soldiers would lower theirs. He would go to where his friends were and found that Fuchs was putting his weapons away angrily. He also sees Sweetie with burn marks. He knew Fuchs had something to do with it and was about to lash out again but then thought that fighting the Arctic Fox would get him more injured than he already was. The soldiers there would have also lowered their weapons hearing Chase's orders. At this time the German Shepherd was the highest ranking at this FOB.
"Sweetie, Scout, and Zephyr are friendly and are with me, lay a paw on them and I'll fucking kill you," said Deckard
"Not if I kill you first. Now go get yourself fixed and out of my sight until I call you again," Chase threatened.
Deckard would growl but have no means to argue and walk away towards the medical tent with Sweetie, Scout, and Zephyr following him. Chase would keep an eye on them and say to the Lt. "Post guards at that tent."
"Yes sir," said Lt. Tuminello.
Lupe would soon head to another medical tent with Artemis, Redstone, and Curtis following him as well as some soldiers.
Everest would finally calm down a bit and notice what happened. Having been right next to Chase when he basically screamed his orders. Fuchs and Rosalie would join their leader and Rosalie would comfort the Husky.
"What now?" Fuchs would ask.
"Make them not kill each other and us not to kill Sweetie. How and why the fuck she is here, let alone Scout and whoever that other creature is?" Chase growled.
"Who knows," Fuchs would answer, "This world is slowly falling apart."
"I hope you are wrong," said Chase, as he, Everest, Fuchs, and Rosalie hoped that this family would find a way to fight back against the darkness that has plagued them into despair.
Somewhere in Mexico
A small militarized compound sat in the middle of nowhere in Mexico, and in one of the buildings was a secret passageway to a highly advanced underground prison with three cells with electrical force fields keeping the prisoners inside the cells. However, these weren't any ordinary prisoners, all 15 members of Task Force Wild Card AKA Cemetery Wind were alive and well… well that all depends on how you define the word "well". Sweetie, Deckard, Shadow, and Smokey were in a cell that was right across from the door, Killshot, Sidian, Frostbite, Flint, Tate, and Snowstorm were in another cell on the left, and Max, Striker, Seth, Delgado, Taser, and Echo were in the cell on the right. All of them woke up after being hit with a powerful electrical shock, all of their gear and weapons had been taken, and they still had on their black pants, black jacket, black fingerless gloves, and black combat shoes but everything else was taken.
"So, how do we get out of this one?" Asked Tate looking around.
"I don't know, but until we have an idea of who brought us here our best course of action is to do nothing," said Deckard.
"Wait? Are you really serious, we do absolutely nothing. Our friends, and our family in Adventure Bay are in danger. Your little brother, Rocky, is in danger and you want us to do nothing!" Frostbite growled out.
"I know you frustrated Frostbite, but we have no idea where we are or who captured us in the first place," said Deckard.
"So, what our leader is trying to say is that when we have all the information that we need to get from our captors, then we bust out of here and bring them in, and if they don't want to surrender and leave here in cuffs… then we bring them down," said Max.
All of the Cemetery Wind operatives nodded their heads in agreement just as the door opened and a slim, curvy figure walked through. She was a female wolf with beautiful white fur, and by the look on Deckard's face, everyone knew that these two knew each other.
"Nice to see you again, Deckard," said the female wolf as she stalked up to the cage that Deckard was in.
"Elena," said Deckard in a cold voice, letting the others know that this Elena was very bad news.
The other members of Task Force Wild Card looked on and saw the deadly look that Deckard was giving Elena, and all of them were thinking the same thing.
"Oh shit!"
"It's good to see you again, Deckard," said Elena who gave Deckard a smile that made Sweetie feel a little uneasy.
"If you don't think that Chase won't sniff out some imposters. He's the best of the best, so let's see how long your little stunt here lasts," said Deckard.
"I'm counting on him figuring it out, but not before it's too late and my agents take away everything he loves and cares about," said a voice from behind Elena.
"Oh Decks, I would like you to meet my new associate," said Elena as she moved to the side revealing a certain German Shepherd that the Task Force Wild Card team knows all too well.
Deckard sighs as he drops his head now knowing how much of a pickle he and his team are in, "Storm." Deckard said with an evil glare.
"Nice to finally meet you face-to-face, Deckard," said Storm.
"I would say the same thing, but since I am unable to pop a bullet into your skull, I guess I can settle with the words fuck off," said Deckard.
"Ha, that's what I like about you, no matter what you have this hardcore personality, but I know something that will shattered that," said Storm.
"Oh really? Well take your best shot motherfucker," said Deckard.
Storm pulled out a piece of paper and began to read what was on it, "Around 0910 hours (9:10 AM) multiple missiles struck the Lookout tower of the Adventure Bay FOB. All of the PAW Patrol members were inside the Lookout when the attack occurred, and after searching through the rubble thoroughly and doing an extensive search we can confirm that all the PAW Patrol members died in the attack."
Deckard's ears picked up on key parts of the report that Storm read out and didn't want to believe that all the PAW Patrol members, including his brother were dead.
"You're lying, you're just saying that to piss us off," said Deckard.
"I'm afraid I'm not lying, every member of the PAW Patrol, including your little brother, Rocky are dead. I can only imagine what Rocky must have been thinking in his final seconds of his pathetic life right before my men blew it to pieces," said Storm as he began to laugh.
Deckard finally had it and started to punch the electrical force field that was separating him from Storm and Elena, who looked on with amusement. Deckard repeatedly punched the force field not caring how long it took him to break out.
"Deckard, you're never going to break out of that and besides even if you do, you really think we'll be afraid of you," said Elena as she stood by Storm as they watched Deckard's actions.
"It's not me you should be afraid of, it's the other one and he wants out!" Screamed Deckard as he started to punch the force field more violently.
"Decks, just calm down a bit you're…" Shadow started to say, but stopped when he saw what was happening to his friend.
Deckard screamed as he caught on fire, but the flames quickly disappeared and when they did everyone was shocked at what they saw. Deckard's demon form has finally reached his full evolution, his head and tail had no flesh on it and his tail had blue flames surrounding it and his head was now a skull with two yellow eyes and his claws on his front paws were also surrounded by blue flames and he was extremely pissed off as he bang his head on the force field. (Hades from Hercules)
Just then, another canine would arrive out of breath up to Storm, "Without any awareness he would blurt out, "Sir, Rocky and Everest are still alive. Stark and Koda have also survived the attack. Marshall, Tracker, Zuma, Rubble, and even Skye have been confirmed dead."
Storm would punch the messenger in the muzzle with anger and knock him out. "No need to punch the messenger Storm," Elena said to Storm.
The German Shepherd would not answer but this news would pique Deckard's interest.
"Oh Deckard, I have some news," said Storm as he turned around to face Deckard but jumped a little as Nightmare continued to bang his head against the cell's force field.
"We call him Nightmare when he's like this, but I don't think he's in a listening mood right now," said Shadow.
"Well then calm him down now, or I'll be forced to do it myself which will be very painful for you all" growled Storm as he got ready to push a button.
Sweetie quickly went up to Nightmare and grabbed him right before he was about to hit the force field again. Nightmare turned around to strike whatever had grabbed him, but stopped when he saw the face Sweetie was giving him. Nightmare realizing he probably scared his other half's mate and teammates he slowly turned back to Deckard, who grunted as the flesh reappeared on his head and tail.
"Sorry, that was a little unexpected of me," said Deckard as he apologized for his actions.
"I must say that was quite unexpected of you Deckard, but you are a legend so unexpected things are quite normal for someone like you," said Storm.
Deckard growled at the German Shepherd, but stopped when he felt his body heat up again.
"Apparently a part of my report was false, Rocky, Everest, Stark, and Koda all survived the attack, but Zuma, Rubble, Tracker, and Marshall of the PAW Patrol are dead, as well as the Nightwatcher operative Skye. Well, Chase must be in a killing mood right now," said Storm.
"Good, so when me and my team get out of here I'll hog tie you and drag your dead meat ass to him so he can put a knife in your fucking skull," said Deckard.
"Oh you and your team won't be leaving anytime soon and after a while when the report of your team comes, I'll be tying up loose ends," said Storm as he and Elena, who was dragging the unconscious messenger, walked through the door and left the Task Force Wild Card alone. However, right before they left, Elena decided to pull another string, "Oh congratulations on your marriage with Sweetie, Mr. Lennox."
Before Deckard could respond, the door slammed shut and Deckard and his team were left alone with no one around to save them for miles.
