Paw Patrol X
Land and Sea arc Episode Eighteen: Land Vs Sea Part One
It was the day of the battle the Paw Patrol would have against Miranda, and they were getting things finished with Coral's stage for her performance. F.M. and Skye in particular were helping a lot with the stage props, as Claw was helping Coral with setting up her equipment. Along with Ryder and Rocky of course. F.M. and Skye set up one more prop for the performance before Skye asked F.M. about this plan. "Be honest F.M.. Do you think this song will help us with convincing the Mer-Pups?"
"Positive. The best way to show how horrible someone really is, is for a victim to speak out. I think." F.M. admitted, knowing that she couldn't speak for every scenario that related to this. And it wasn't the first time she helped someone like this either, nor had it ever been like this before. "And even if it doesn't, this will be good for Coral." F.M. and Skye went over to another prop to make sure it was stable. "Whether she knew her more as Miranda, or as Eveline, this can help her keep moving forward, and showing us who she really is beyond all that."
Skye then started thinking about what F.M. said to Charm when they wrapped up their first visit to PupLantis. "I never asked. Where did you get that saying from?"
F.M. laughed a bit before admitting that there wasn't any special depth behind it. "Nowhere actually. I just wanted to tell others something that could help them realize how it's possible to change for the better."
Skye admired the simplicity of that, and she helped F.M. stabilize the prop as she expressed this. "That's... very admirable." F.M. smiled before she and Skye looked over at Claw and Coral, who were more romantic with each other than they were before.
F.M. was happy to see this, addressing it to Skye when she saw that she was happy about it too. "They definitely deserved this before the big battle."
"Agreed. I'm kind of surprised it wasn't the double date that did it though." Skye admitted, and then she looked at the bandana that was tucked into her pup suit. For some reason, it wasn't having the same effect it did before. Before, she'd been wearing it to help herself feel confident that she wouldn't lose Coral again. But now, that struggle seemed to be lessened, as if she no longer needed to be reminded that she was succeeding. That thanks to her, Coral, like everyone else, is... happy. F.M. noticed her smile as she looked at her bandana.
F.M. took her paws and made an effort to increase her assurance that they would all get through the battle. "Once we stop Miranda, we're going to have the best party for all of our friends, ever. No drama, no emotional struggles, just us, and everyone we know, having fun. And that includes Coral." She also smirked with her final words. "We might even discover my new name."
"That sounds amazing." Skye told F.M. happily, and then she looked over to Coral, who noticed her and waved to her lovingly. She waved back, and Skye could see how happy she was just spending time with everyone, especially her and Claw. She then thought back to what Chase told her during the double date. Maybe she didn't need her bandana anymore. Maybe all she needed, was a loving group who was ready to help her. Just like Coral needed after learning Miranda's true identity.
Miranda was leading her Mer-Pup army to Adventure Bay for the battle she felt would end F.M. and Marshall. They were getting very close to the surface, and some of the soldiers seemed reluctant, which she didn't like. "I hope you remember what will happen to those who defy me." Miranda's threat kept the Mer-Pups in check, making her smile as she finished swimming up to the surface with them. She saw that the Paw Patrol were all ready, and she laughed at how small the army was. "That's it? You must be joking. I beat your army by a mile numbers wise!"
Sunshine and some of the dragons appeared then and there, and Sunshine landed next to F.M. and fist bumped her happily. Sid and Arrby also revealed themselves in their ship, and Sid pressed a button that turned the ship into a battle ship. Ryder called over to Miranda, reminding her that they had connections too. "It's not just us Miranda!" Some of the wolves and foxes also came around, showing that their warriors could come too. "We have friends all over willing to fight for what's right!"
Miranda was more impressed after seeing this, but was still confident she had the superior army. "Better, but not the best." Miranda then noticed that Charm wasn't there, cackling before she pointed out his absence. "Your best fighter isn't even here! What, did he get scared and cry home to his daddy!?"
"Actually, believe it or not, he's helping out in another way right before the battle!" Richie informed Miranda, and as a monitor flew over to them with Charm's logo on it, it was made clear as to why.
Ryder and Richie couldn't help smirking at the fact that Charm secretly kept some of his old equipment, and Charm shrugged as he responded. "Hey. I had to get something out of my old base." Charm then had the drone face Miranda and the Mer-Pups, knowing that they would need to see this.
Coral didn't waste a second in getting ready for her performance with slow rock guitar music playing as she started walking to the microphone. She announced what the song was before she started singing. "This is a song about the truth behind the life I thought I had before. Remember Miranda." Coral then shot at Miranda with the false praise she gave her. "Your home depends on my success."
Miranda scowled at Coral before she started singing her tribute to Miranda: My False Happiness. "The worst day of my life... was when you took me in after I lost them. Ironically when you did... I thought that day had become a gem." Charm and Moby were revealed to be helping with the backstage setup as Coral kept singing. Moby made sure to keep his headphones nearby just in case it got too loud while sitting away from the speakers. "What I thought was happiness... turned out to be a seven year lie. And when I saw your true side... that feeling went goodbye."
Coral saw a bird fly over to her, and she allowed it to land on her paw as she sang more. "When I learned all about you... I felt, deeper than a million foot hole." She then allowed it to fly off as she continued, smiling as she flew away. "But then I got real support... and now that feeling has taken it's toll." Coral then faced forward again, right at Miranda. "For so long you have fooled me... I won't, let that happen ever again. So don't you even try... it won't work now like it did back then."
Coral started tapping her right hind paw as she sang more. "You gave me false hope, and condescending praise. You even threatened me, and once threw your trident at my face. That should've been my first sign something was so wrooooong." Two of the Mer-Pups found themselves disgusted by this, and stepped forward to join the Paw Patrol. Miranda wanted to kill them, but the battle hadn't started yet, so she couldn't. "I was so blind, that I crafted a fake me. I didn't see it, until you revealed yourself to me. And now it's coming out... with this sooooong!"
Coral started singing in a more intense tone as she expressed just how done she was with Miranda. "You're so untrue! I see through you! I'll scream until I! Turn! Blue!"
Then, Charm gave a thumbs up to Moby as he was revealed to be climbing onto the stage with a microphone himself. "You're such a fake! You two faced snake!" Coral was surprised to find Charm singing with her, but smiled when she saw his support. She also sensed that it was from his own feelings of abuse that led to him joining her. "Trusting you was a big! Mis-take!"
Coral and Charm continued singing with two more Mer-Pups being inspired to leave Miranda's side. "You're so untrue! I'm through with you! It's all coming back! At! you! I'm done letting you control this, my false happiness!"
Charm stepped back and let Coral take center stage again, much to her gratitude. She continued singing as she confronted everything she'd done. "There is so much harm I've done to please you, that I can't take back!" Coral tapped her hind paw again before continuing. "But thanks to my friends and my cousin, I'm on the right track!"
Charm couldn't resist joining in again, standing next to Coral as they sang together again. "And now I see you for the hypocrite you are! A hypocritical bigot fueled by her bitter scar! I won't work with someone who can't practice what they preach!" Two more Mer-Pups stepped up to join the Paw Patrol. Zuma also made sure Rocky was calm, which wasn't an issue, because he knew about the song. "I can't believe that I used to look up to you! It disgusts me and my past self does that too! But now I'm making better choices and one is this singing speech!"
The two of them sang the end of the second verse together with both of them feeling how much they secretly related thanks to it. "You're so untrue! I see through you! I'll scream until I! Turn! Blue! You're such a fake! You two faced snake! Trusting you was a big! Mis-take!" Even Moby, who couldn't stand loud sounds in general, stuck through it for Charm and Coral. "You're so untrue! I'm through with you! It's call coming back! At! You! I'm done letting you control this,"
Charm allowed Coral to sing on her own again after that. "My false happiness." Coral then continued singing as the music got softer, and her tone of voice matched the melody all too well. "And now I know who I really am... no thanks to you anyway. I was lost, and oh so misguided... but I'm being better any day." Two more Mer-Pups stepped up as Coral started tapping her hind paw again. "I've done a lot of bad things to help you, but not anymore. I'm disguised by that part of me to my very core. I wish I'd sooner see who you turned out to be."
Coral then added her list of crimes to the song to show that even someone with her past deeds could change. "I ignored your bigotry, and cruelty, and I took a mother's life. Attempted murder, the biggest mistake of my life."
Charm then finished that part of the song, knowing that Coral should sing the rest of the final verse. The way he finished that part of the song further showed why he felt the need to do so. "So don't think that you have any control, over... meeeee-!"
As Charm continued singing that last long note, Coral sang the rest of the third verse with her passion and truth staying at maximum level. "You're so untrue! I see through you! I'll scream until I! Turn! Blue!"
She and Charm then started singing in sync again after Charm finished the long note with a smile. "You're such a fake! You two faced snake! Trusting you was a big! Mis-take!"
Charm then stepped back again, knowing that while Coral was happy to have let him join for the song, he needed to let her finish on her own. This was her time. "I'm stronger now! And I'm showing how! I hope you can feel! My! Bliss!" Coral looked confidently at the monitor as Miranda glared at it, finishing the song in style. "You can never revive this, my false happineeeeeeeeees!" Coral let the guitar play for a little longer, and she then sang the final lyrics before wrapping up the song for good. "You'll never get to revive what was formerly... my false happiness."
Coral dropped the mic in front of Miranda then and there, turning around and hi pawing Charm after he offered it to her. He then rushed off for the battle as Coral went behind the stage and sat next to Moby, who was getting his drone ready for when the battle started. The Pup-Pad he was viewing it from showed it turning into a battle drone that couldn't be easily penetrated. This was to be expected when he and Rocky both worked on it. And now Moby was about to prove it's use.
At least three dozen Mer-Pups joined the Paw Patrol's side after Coral's song, but Miranda still had more than enough to make the bigger army. F.M. then took her own jab at Miranda's desire to stop people from changing. "See Miranda? You constantly say change is a bad thing, but when Coral finally accepted it as a part of life, she became leagues better than she would've been under your rule." F.M. couldn't help smirking as she taunted another part of Miranda's hypocrisy. "But then again, you probably wanted her to avoid ever reaching that level."
"So what if I did?" Miranda asked harshly, summoning a scorpion shield around herself to protect herself from the battlefield. She wanted to save her power for when she knew she absolutely needed it. "As you can clearly see, I still have the higher number in terms of soldiers. You'll wish you never came to PupLantis after I'm done with this town!"
"We'll see about that Miranda." Ryder set something up on his Pup-Phone before tossing it into the air, leading to a battle cry sound playing for everyone in the army to hear.
Charm arrived just in time to get a full hearing of it, and once he did, he looked right at Miranda and did a throat slit over his neck. As he did, he gave a creepy smile and gave a new catchphrase he made for battle. "Get ready for blood." Claw also took the time to offer Charm a fist bump due to loving the sound of that, which he happily accepted.
Miranda was unfazed, slamming her trident on the ground as she and Ryder made their commands well heard. "ATTACK!"
These battle cries roared through the battlefield, and each of the pups pulled through for the battle. Snow took a dagger from her belt and blocked a soldier's sword slash with it. She found herself being pushed back, but she managed to push the soldier off of her and lunge kick at her. Afterwards, she dodged the soldier's sword strike, barely managing to block her spin slash before getting kicked to the ground. She rolled away to avoid getting slashed at again and low swept the soldier. She then stabbed her with her dagger, which killed her instantly.
Snow then saw Everest kicking a soldier to the ground and aiming her gun at him, only for the soldier to instantly front flip and kick the gun into the air. He then aimed a sword slash at Everest, who ducked underneath it, only for the soldier to kick her to the side. She regained her balance, but not before another soldier grabbed her from behind. She headbutted him with the back of her head just before the soldier slashed at her. He stopped once he realized the other soldier was the only one in front of him now.
Snow then arrived and threw some sand at the soldier just before he turned around, blinding him long enough to stab him in the head and finish him off. Everest blocked the other soldiers punches and kicks before spinning to land a spin punch on her. Snow jumped in and blocked her kick, giving Everest enough time to kick the soldier to the ground. After that, Everest pinned the soldier to the ground, giving Snow enough time to stab her and finish her off. The two then fist bumped, heading off to see how else they could help out in the battle.
Marshall wasn't quite as lucky as Snow and Everest, as while he managed to overpower one of the soldiers, he was then overpowered himself by a fast brute. Marshall got sent back with a powerful hit with a big hammer, and it took him a bit to recover before he saw the brute charge at him. He dodged his hammer strike just in time, getting back up and aiming a jumping punch on him. He managed to land a strong hit, but after the soldier got sent back by a bit, he swung at Marshall again. Marshall jumped back just in time, only for another soldier to grab him.
Marshall elbowed the soldier in the gut right before he could stab him with his blade. The brute then charged at him at full force, and Marshall rolled out of the way. This led to the brute charging into the soldier, as Marshall's timing was just right. He then however, found himself trapped by two soldiers and a brute. The two soldiers pinned him to the ground and started stomping on him before they got out of the way for the brute to attack. Just as he was about to strike however...
F.M. dove in and grabbed Marshall, getting him out of the way just in time. Marshall smiled to F.M., being grateful for the save. "Thanks sis."
"No problem." F.M. responded, and then several soldiers and the brute surrounded the Dalmatian siblings. The two nodded as the eight Mer-Pups surrounded them, taking out their blades and blocking the closest strikes they could get. They managed to dodge in time to get out of the brute's swing; Marshall by rolling, and F.M. by jumping off of the soldier she blocked the strike from. F.M. stabbed the brute in the head, killing him instantly. It disgusted F.M. to have to kill, and her face showed it. But she shook it off the best she could to focus on the battle.
Marshall was being pushed back by a very strong soldier, and F.M. was surrounded by two who kicked her back and forth for a bit after she deflected one of their sword strikes. F.M. was even kicked to the ground, which almost go her stabbed before she caught the blade. Two of the wolf soldiers also joined in by tackling back a soldier who tried to shoot F.M.. The other one called over to F.M. while clashing sword swings with another Mer-Pup soldier. "It's all yours kid!"
"Thanks!" F.M. called back out of gratitude. She kicked the soldier off of her and kicked the other one back, continuing to fight just like Marshall did. Marshall's knife was deflected, but he headbutted the Mer-Pup, stunning her before he threw her blade away and tackled her. She kicked him off, but he was able to regain his balance long enough to block her charging punch and start colliding punches and kicks with her.
Chase and Claw were fighting side by side, and they were both using methods that by now, one should expect from them. After Chase dodged a soldier's sword strike and kicked his shin, he fell to the ground with Chase and Claw pressing their butts against his face. Chase's butt was on the right side, and Claw's was on the left. They smirked to the soldier before cutting...
PHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHT
PHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHT
...two loud and bassy ten second farts in sync, making their butts vibrate as they surrounded the Mer-Pup with a nasty green cloud of spoiled meat. This made the Mer-Pup pass out, but before he could fall to the ground, Chase shot him in the head, knowing he'd fight back once he got back up. The two of them gave each other a thumbs up as Chase then saw something behind Claw and warned him about it. "Claw! Look out!" Claw turned around and saw a water tank that was aimed right at him.
Chase didn't even hesitate to pick Claw up and throw him out of range, and as he tried to roll, he got sent back by the blast, causing him to fall down and become dazed for a bit. He looked up to find Claw now trying to fend off two soldiers, only to get kicked down by one and kicked in the stomach by the other. While looking around, he saw some of the Mer-Pups on his side falling, which helped him stay focused on the battle. One of the foxes sacrificed themself for him by tackling an enemy to the ground and trying to fight them off himself.
Chase then saw the tank aimed directly at him. He knew it'd fire even if he went into range of the Mer-Pups. He was starting to get angry seeing those who joined in battle, including the good Mer-Pups die, especially when he saw the fox who saved him protect him. He called out to the tank after standing up and regaining control. "You wanna play Army!? Fine with me! Let's play some Army!"
The tank fired again at Chase, who was much more prepared this time and quickly ran out of the way. He then made his way towards the tank, but not without a Mer-Pup getting in his way. He elbowed the soldier and kicked him to the side and continued charging at the tank. He also took out a grenade as two more soldiers got in his way. He punched one in the face and jumped off of the other one before shooting him. He continued charging at the tank with two soldiers at him.
Since Chase was zigzagging, it was hard for the tank to get a clear shot. It also didn't help that Chase was closer to his right, and not right in front of him. As a result of this, Chase was able to take the grenade off just in time upon getting in front of the tank and threw it in through the canon as hard as he could. It was then that he focused on the other two Mer-Pups, ducking underneath one who aimed a jumping kick at him and rolling out of the way of the other. He then spin kicked the Mer-Pup towards the tank right on cue to the pilot's warning. "GRENADE!"
The Mer-Pup barely had enough time to get out of the cockpit, and Chase gave a proud smirk to him as he looked back. This was interrupted by another Mer-Pup sucker punching him from the side. He got dazed again, but not as much as before, helping him grab the Mer-Pup's fist the second time. He then threw the Mer-Pup onto his back before aiming his gun at him to prepare for another kill. Despite his disgust with killing, he took a moment to jab at himself. "Guess my ego needed that little bruising."
Moby's drone also took out the two soldiers who were chasing Charm before. With one zap each, he was able to knock them both to the ground and make them more vulnerable.
Rocky and Zuma were also fighting alongside each other with Zuma getting pinned down by a Mer-Pup before kicking him off of him. He got pinned to the ground by another soldier, who stepped on his head and readied his sword. However, Zuma was prepared, and he barked for something unexpected. "Guawding floatie!" And instantly, a steel floatie came from Zuma's Pup-Suit, leading to the Mer-Pup's sword being chipped. Zuma then lifted his head up strongly enough to throw the Mer-Pup off of him long enough to start fighting him one on one again.
Rocky was keeping the other Mer-Pup busy, holding his sword after grabbing the latest slash and stunning the Mer-Pup with his lack of concern. Rocky then pressed a button on the bottom of his Pup-Pack with his tail. This released a long claw similar to the one on Claw's Pup-Pack, but before the Mer-Pup could react, Rocky threw his sword to the ground to stun him for longer. However, the Mer-Pup spun and slashed at the claw, taking it out just in the nick of time.
While this would normally look bad for anyone in this position, Rocky had planned ahead for this, catching the Mer-Pup off guard long enough to literally stab him in the back. The Mer-Pup looked back, being stunned that Rocky planned for this. Rocky didn't have any joy in killing, or in something else on his mind. As he held onto the knife, he said what that was to the soldier. "Too bad this wasn't a real battle. I had at least two hundred moves planned out in my head. But now's not the time to show off my smarts."
The Mer-Pup stepped forward as he expressed dishonor in being tricked by something like that. "The claw was a decoy!?"
"That's right." Rocky confirmed with a confident smile, deciding that he had at least a little time to spare. "I know F.M. and Charm show off their strategic capabilities a lot more often than I do. Heck, I'd even say Chase and Snow do it more often than I do. It's not because they're better at it than I am. I just don't like fighting. So I only show the levels I can reach when I have to." The Mer-Pup fell to his knees, showing immense anger as Rocky started to point out the biggest flaw in how he fought. "And that's where you went wrong."
Rocky gave a smug grin as he finished calling out where the Mer-Pup went wrong. "In this short battle, you were so busy overestimating your chances at winning, that you failed to calculate the chance that I would surpass you with one simple showcase of what I can do." Rocky then saw blood dripping from the Mer-Pup's back. Not wanting to make him suffer, he took his gun out and apologized for the wait. "Oh, right. Sorry."
Rocky shot the Mer-Pup as Zuma kicked the one he was fighting back and stabbed him in the side of the head. After doing so, he ran up to Rocky to stand by his side for the remainder of the battle. "That's enough bwagging for one day Wolfy! We have a town to pwotect!"
"And protect we shall!" Rocky assured Zuma lovingly, rushing off with him to continue helping out in the fight.
Skye was using her incredible agility to dodge the constant blade swings of a Mer-Pup who was failing to hit her. She was much faster than she was last time, managing to pull off every dodge successfully before low sweeping with a duck under a spin slash. She then jumped up and struck the Mer-Pup multiple times in the air. First with a punch to the face, then a spin kick that turned him around, and then a downward kick. The Mer-Pup regained her balance as he flew towards the ground, and Skye barked for her wings, "Wings!" causing them to spawn.
Skye circled the Mer-Pup with her wings, making him think he had a pattern to shoot. However, she then barked to retract her wings and landed on the ground, stopping right in front of the fired bullet. Skye was stunned with how close she was, and having instantly taken out her own gun upon landing, shot the Mer-Pup's paw and made her drop the gun. She then took a quick breath before expressing how close that was. "Good thing I stopped when I did. One inch closer, and I would've been a goner."
The Mer-Pup took out his knife, charging at Skye, only or Skye to dodge and knee him in the stomach. He dropped the knife, allowing her to grab it and stab him in the chest with it. The Mer-Pup gasped for air as Skye then addressed any possible concerns. "I know what you're thinking. I almost died using that same strategy before. Why did it work this time?" Skye got ready to finish the Mer-Pup off as she answered that possible question. "I went to F.M. and Marshall during our training, and got some help in making myself faster during my Agile Dodging."
Skye then took the knife out and kicked the Mer-Pup to the ground, and he gasped his last breath before fading out. Skye put his weapon away, knowing she couldn't risk anyone on the wrong side using it. She then looked around, trying to find a good place to continue helping out in the battle. She saw one of the dragons fending off against a creature with an ice weapon and rushed in to help. She knew dragons couldn't handle cold temperatures, location or weapon, due to their cold blood.
Charm and Sunshine were fighting alongside each other in the battle, and Charm found himself up against a brute just like the one F.M. and Marshall fought. Charm was handling him with ease, jumping off of his hammer after he slammed it onto the ground. This led to him getting a swift slice on his neck, chopping his entire head off. He then caught said head and looked into its eyes as he mocked the brute. "Awwww, did you think size mattered?" Sunshine saw this after taking out another Mer-Pup. "Well guess what. It doesn't! And now you're dead!"
Sunshine flew over to Charm, pointing out how he was making himself look right now. "You do realize you're talking to a disembodied head of a dead guy, right?" Charm looked at the head and then back at Sunshine before tossing it behind him nonchalantly.
After tossing the head, Charm and Sunshine heard Claw shout in pain. Knowing he had to step in, he looked to Sunshine to see if he'd be okay on his own. "You think you can handle Miranda's army by yourself?"
"Please. I have fire breath and a sword. I can handle both ranges no problem." Sunshine assured Charm, and he gave a thumbs up before heading off to save Claw. Sunshine then flew off while breathing fire breath ahead of him to establish himself as a long range threat.
As for Claw, he was fighting an elite soldier in Miranda's army, which was just a bit higher than his skill level. He was as strong as the soldier Charm killed when telling Moby about his past. While Claw wasn't completely helpless, and even managed to slash at the Mer-Pup's chest, he was noticeably more weakened from the brawl. He fell to his knee as he was shown to have a lot of injuries that made him start struggling to move. The elite took some time to taunt him as he charged at him. "This is what happens when you mess with our Queen!"
Claw braced himself as he struggled to reach for a knife to block, only to be amazed when he saw Charm thrust at the elite's sword just in time, sending it to the right. He then spin kicked the elite immediately after, looking back at Claw while jabbing at his defeat. "I suppose even a royal guard is capable of losing."
"You would know." Claw jabbed back, standing up slowly while expressing gratitude for the save. "Thank you Charm."
Charm and Claw smiled at each other before the elite shouted at Charm. "Don't let him fool you Doberman!" Charm gave an unfazed look towards the elite as Claw glared at him. He showed that he'd completely fallen for Miranda's fake ruse. "He hasn't changed and he never will! He just wants you all to himself! He'll kill you as soon as this is all over!"
Charm gave a devious grin as he tossed a shield gadget to Claw so he could heal up. After Charm stepped forward, Claw activated it, allowing Charm to ready himself as he looked directly at the elite with some words in mind. "Your loyalty is strong my despicable cultist." The elite found himself offended by that term as Charm continued. "But when you fight me, you play MY game." Charm gained a violent stare as he pointed his knife at the cultist. "First rule... YOU EAT CRAP AND DIE!"
The elite smirked, taking out his sword as he got ready for this game. He seemed to have a similar edge to himself that Charm did. "Hmm. I like the sound of this game."
Charm then expressed distaste towards the way of Miranda while explaining more about his goal. "That 'change is evil' crap got old twelve years ago, so I'm gonna take a page out of F.M.'s book." Charm put his knife to his side while giving a prepared stance to charge at the soldier. "I'm gonna show you who I am! And I don't just mean a pup skilled enough to turn you into sushi!"
"Okay, you're so lucky I got that." The Mer-Pup informed Charm, showing immense disgust in his wording. "And if you're trying to be threatening, then you failed miserably."
"Do not underestimate me bigoted brat." Charm and the elite Mer-Pup circled around their battle grounds as Charm stated exactly who he was. "For I am more than my demon blood. I am Charm Ralston. Former fear striking tyrant. Friend to the Paw Patrol. And..." Charm went into a battle pose with no openings shown at the same time as the elite. "The Demon Blood Vigilante!" Just before Charm and the elite charged at each other, Charm added one more, familiar sounding line, to close off the announcement of who he was. "NOW EAT THIS SUCKA!"
Charm's cry was heard all over the battlefield as he dashed at the elite with full force and a brutal blade clash. The two jumped back after that before charging at each other again. They continued to clash blades relentlessly, showing the same amount of power in each slash after the last. Slash, after slash, after ruthless slash, the two warriors refused to let up. Charm jumped over the elite to get an attack in, but the elite turned around and spin slashed, causing him to block.
After Charm landed, he charged at the soldier, sliding under him and aiming a stab at him. However, the elite dodged and slashed at him, which he blocked by grabbing the blade. He then stood up and headbutted the elite, making him step back before slashing at him again. The elite was able to block this one as well, but just barely.
As Claw observed the moves, which continued going on, he started thinking about all that's happened since he met Charm. 'It's funny Charm. If someone told me three months ago that you would be protecting me in battle... I'd have told them they were crazy.' Charm continued clashing blades with the elite, even side stepping at one point and landing a small slash on his arm. The elite managed to keep fighting however, since it wasn't his slashing arm. 'Boy was I happy to be proven wrong.'
Claw continued watching, contemplating everything that's been happening in the past while. 'It's not every day you get to see someone who was formerly your worst enemy, step up to fight alongside you in a battle to protect your home. God knows I never thought it would happen to me. But I suppose it's true what they say.' Charm slashed so hard that the elite's knife was knocked out of his paw. 'The best way to defeat an enemy...' It landed right on the ground, lying there next to Charm as he finished his thought. 'is to make them your friend.'
Claw looked at the knife for a bit, still having just a bit more to think about. 'I hope I can say this to you in person Charm.' He then looked back at the battle, which showed the elite backing up in response to fear from Charm's power. 'So for now, I'll have to think it.' Charm gave a crazy and violent stare, being ready to finish the battle. 'I forgive you.'
Charm then charged at the elite, 'And...' and he slashed right past him, slicing through the part where his heart and making him fall to the ground dead. After he fell, Charm looked back with a confident smile. And when he did, the last of Claw's thought was heard.
'Thank you.'
To be continued.
Rock music played as F.M. started speaking in regards to what was going to happen with specific moments from the next chapter being shown. "Miranda's army isn't letting up! Even with all of her soldiers we've taken out, she's still gotten kills on our side too! Foxes, wolves, the Mer-Pups who joined our side, there's blood everywhere! But don't think I'll let that stop me! Wait, where's Miranda going? Miranda! Get back here you coward! You're not escaping no matter what!"
F.M. finished the announcement with the words Paw Patrol in all blue with red outlines surrounded with a white border with F.M. on the right, and Marshall on the left. "Next time, Land Vs Sea Part Two! (F.M. is shown fighting Miranda inside a pod of some kind as Zuma chases them down on his hovercraft) Your quest for vengeance ends today Miranda!"
