KISS World. A theme park dedicated to the greatest band in the world. A theme park designed to excite and fright. And it just so happened to be where the Paw Patrol decided to spend their Halloween night. Marshall, Chase, Rubble and Skye were happily chatting about the special concert that was going to happen that night. Rocky however was annoyed that he was being dragged along to another event he didn't want to be a part of. "I can't believe we get to go to KISS World!" Marshall said as he straightened his jacket. "I know right? It's like killing two birds with one stone." Chase said, smiling at his best friend's excitement. "Or two birds with one cat." Marshall joked. "Hey! Careful! That makeup smudges pretty easily." Skye called to them. "Whoops! Sorry, Skye." Marshall said sheepishly. "I didn't really know you were a part of the KISS army." Rubble said to the pageant girl of the team. "Well, I'm pretty interested in Starchild. He's so dreamy. But my sister's the KISS fangirl. Not me." Skye explained. "Plus being in the pageant industry helps me practice doing this type of makeup." "Y'know I think you did a great job. Even though your star looks like a shooting star." Chase said. Skye pulled out her compact mirror and checked herself. "Whoops! Must've put a little too much black there. Thanks Chase." She said as she began fixing her makeup.
"Hang on Skye! I want to make a wish." Rubble said. "Ok big guy." Skye sighed. "Uh, I wish I was eating a big meal!" The ever-hungry pup said. "Good one, Rubble. Uh, I wish I could breathe fire like the Demon. Aah!" Marshall said sticking out his tongue. "I wish you'd all come to your senses! It's a school night you know. And you heard Ryder, one more toe out of line and we're grounded for life!" Rocky snapped. "Oh come on Rocky! Don't be a stick in the mud!" Skye said looking at the genius. "You know, for someone on the PAW Patrol Alpha team, you don't have much of a sense of adventure." Marshall said. "All of your little 'adventures' end up with me in the principal's office!" Rocky hissed. "Rocky, you spend all your time cooped up in your lab. You could use the exercise." Rubble said. "I could use the exercise? Look at you! You have your own climate." Rocky spluttered. "C'mon Rocky! You know the rules. Majority vote rules. And you lost." Chase explained. "Well excuse me for wanting to have a night to catch up on our homework!" Rocky yelled. "Besides it's Halloween! Who would want to stay home on Halloween night?" Marshall said. "I HATE HALLOWEEN!" Rocky yelled. "Figures." Marshall muttered. "All you care about are your toys!"
Rocky sighed in defeat as he walked off. "You're on your own! And don't expect me to feel sorry if you all get grounded!" He muttered. But before he left, he noticed something up with his mark. It was glowing brighter than usual. "Huh. That's new." He said before turning to the others.
"Uh guys, are your marks acting like mine?" Rocky asked. "Not really. Is something wrong?" Chase asked. "I'm just worried that something's wrong with our powers. My mark's been acting up for a while." Rocky explained. "I guess that's one of the reasons you wanted to stay home tonight." Marshall said, shooting a look at the genius. "Guilty as charged." Rocky admitted. "I'm worried our powers are changing faster than we know!" "That's weird." Rubble said. "But I'm sure our powers are ok Rock." "I guess you're right. I guess I could use some time out of my lab. Plus I might do KISS for my battle of the bands paper for music class." Rocky admitted. "You haven't started it yet?" Marshall asked surprised. "It kept slipping my mind." Rocky said with a shrug.
"Figures. You're always thinking about science." Chase said rolling his eyes. "Science is my life! How can I not think about it?" Rocky said. Marshall groaned. "Can we please go!? My tickets' expire tonight!" "Uh, guys? We might have a problem."Skye said. Marshall and the others looked towards the park entrance. People were running away from the park! "What's going on?" Rubble asked in confusion. "I don't go to many theatre acts apart from Shakespeare in the Park, but don't most people usually run towards awesome rock concerts?" Rocky asked. "Normally yes." Marshall answered. "They're saying something about a dragon." Skye said as she heard the screams. "Wait a minute. The Demon, the Starchild, the Catman, the Spaceman. Please tell me they added a dragon!" Chase said scratching his head. "Quite the opposite to me! This has gotta be the work of an Akuma!" Marshall said, reaching for his belt-like Decadriver.
"Marsh! You jump the gun too quickly. How can it be an Akuma?" Chase asked. "Call it a gut hunch." Marshall said. "More like animal instinct." Rocky muttered under his breath. "Despite whatever it is, I think we better investigate. Marsh!" Chase said nodding to his best friend. "Right. Time for a Ghost-eye view!" Marshall said, activating the beltlike Decadriver on his waist. After finding the icon of the rider he wanted, Marshall slammed his hand onto the center. But instead of his spectre-like rider Ghost, he turned into a purple demonlike rider.
"Great! Instead of one monster, we got a different one!" Rocky groaned. "Hibiki?! I gotta get this belt's instruction manual." The Oni rider groaned. "Guess we're gonna need a different approach." Chase said as he rolled his eyes. But Hibiki had already disappeared before he finished speaking! "Oh great! he's loose!" Rubble said. "Come on, let's get after him." Rocky said heading to the park entrance. "Wait up guys!" Skye said as she ran after her friends.
Meanwhile, Hibiki had somehow to get into the park. "Not one of my greatest entrances but still I'm in. So that's a plus." He muttered as he looked around. Everything he saw was KISS-themed. There were KISS rides and attractions. There was even the Demon sticking his tongue out! "Woah! Looks just like him. Must be a animatronic." Hibiki said looking at it. "Wonder how it works? Boy, I bet Rocky would love to find out what makes you tick." He touched the face of the Demon. "Hey! Don't smudge the makeup!" He yelled. Hibiki jumped back in fright. Just then Chase and the other pups arrived. "MARSH! STOP! Someone's gonna hear!" Skye yelled. But Hibiki ended up crashing into a cardboard cutout. Just then a man who looked like the owner of the park came out to the scene.
"Hey, hey, hey. Whoa! Whoa! Calm down. I'm Manny Goldman, the park supervisor. What's with all the ruckus?" He asked calmly. "Sorry sir! We didn't mean to intrude." Rocky said glaring at Hibiki. "We're just here to help." "Sure you are. You always wear makeup when helping people?" Mr Goldman said. "I should hope so!" Skye shot back. "I think he means the KISS makeup, Skye." Hibiki said. "Oh." Skye said in embarrassment. "Sorry about them. We're just trying to help. We overheard that the park is in trouble. And seeing how we're such big KISS fans, we'd like to do all that we can." Chase explained.
"I see. Well, I hate to disappoint you kids but I have someone looking into this problem already." Mr Goldman said. "Oh, that's good. Come on guys let's go. So sorry to be a-" Rocky started to say but Hibiki elbowed him before he could say anything else. "Sorry about him. He doesn't get out much." The oni rider said quickly. "I can tell. My kid's a bit like that." Mr Goldman said. Chase stepped forward. "Sir, we have experience dealing with unusual situations. We'd really like to help out here. Besides don't you want the crowds to come back? to come back to the park?" He asked. "Oh, they'll come back." A voice replied from out of nowhere. Hibiki instinctively moved in front of his friends as a cloud of smoke appeared out of nowhere. When it cleared he found himself staring at 4 makeup-covered faces. The one with a star looked at Hibiki as he said. "To see us."
Hibiki gasped in amazement as he recognised them. "Oh my gosh! It's KISS!" He said in awe as he approached the band. "I- I'm your biggest fan! I heard all your songs, have all your albums-" "Marsh, buddy, TMI." Rocky interrupted. "Let him have this one Rock."Skye said as Starchild approached her. "How can we help, little lady?" He asked. "Actually we're here to help you. We're the Paw Patrol Alpha team. We heard there's a spot of trouble going on here." Chase explained. "That's funny. That's why we're here." Spaceman said. "Wait. You're the ones they called for help?" Hibiki asked confused. "Yeah. They wanted the best, they got the best." The Demon replied. "But uh, you're a rock band." Rubble said in confusion. "Every band needs a hobby." Catman explained. "Huh. That I didn't know." Rocky said in surprise.
