Back in the museum, Cooler and his pals are caught in a web of trouble with their friends under the mean machine influence. Cornering them to a wall as they bark aggressively at them. While Colette is barking at her own pups, not knowing it due to the mean machine.

"Mama, Mama." The pups said, trying to call her. Reflex, Beamer, and Bright eyes face their friends with an angry look. "Cool it you guys, back off. This is me, Cooler. It's me." Cooler tries to reach out to them. "Traitor, Traitor, you betrayed us Cooler." They said. "But guys, give me a chance. I'm not what I really am, I discovered my true purpose." Cooler said. "When you led us to the mine, almost dropping us to our doom?" Beamer recalled. "And the swamps?" Bright eyes added. "And even the castle?" Reflex finishes.

"I had, and if I had to be honest with myself. I ain't the brightest, I went over my head, and I'm gonna make amends here." Cooler focuses on Reflex as he is approaching firstly, getting closer. "No one will love me Cooler, and you know it's a lie." Reflex said. "But it's the truth, there are people out there who adopt you, and would want somebody like you. Because they too could use some love and hear those words. So no one would be alone, and Reflex? You ain't alone, not here. And I just wanna say after what we've been through, Reflex. I'm sorry." Cooler apologizes. As Reflex was about to close in and get a strike, he suddenly stopped.

He froze for a moment, then he shook his head. Cooler saw that Reflex is no longer Voracious, he's back to his normal self. "Golly, what happened?" Reflex said with a confused look. "Huh?" Cooler says with a confused look. Whopper is now face to face with Bright Eyes.

Bright Eyes, you recognize me right?" Whopper asked. "Do I? Or have I forgotten? Maybe you forget that Cooler has betrayed us, not to mention he was harsh to a puppy like you. And yet you still hang out with this nasty guy, why?" Bright eyes asked with an angry glare.

"Because I know him, I know he would never do this. But I know you have Bright eyes, you would never hurt me, or anyone. You are kind, and caring. You were always good at lifting mine and every doggie's spirits. Always tell them to never give up, or you can do it. I always remembered those words, and I will always cherish those words no matter what. You were always there for me through and through. But don't forget the good times Cooler has helped you, whatever he was. That was then, but now he's cool. He's a Cooler. Bright eyes, I don't want to lose you. You're like a sister to me, I love you…" Whopper sheds a tear after finishing that last part.

As the tear dropped to the ground. Bright eyes halts her legs, and the same happens. She shook her head and changed back to normal. She sees Whopper whimpering, ready to face the worst. "Whopper?" She called out to him. Whopper shoots up his head, and sees Bright Eyes. "I'm sorry." Bright Eyes apologizes. Whopper rushes to embrace her.

"Bright Eyes… I thought I couldn't get through to you…" Whopper said. "And you did. You haven't given up on me.." Bright eyes hugged back. "Cooler? A little help?" Big Paw said. "Are you gonna talk this out to your friends now?" Florence wondered.

"Cooler?" He turns to Reflex, who is backing up away from Beamer and Howler. "Looks like I better think fast." Cooler talks to himself. Meanwhile with Colette's puppies. "But mama, I love you." One pup said to her. Those words alone were powerful enough for Colette to stop herself and gasped. Hearing that from her pup and changing back to herself.

"My babies…my darlings." Colette opens her hands wide for her babies to hug their mom. At last Colette and her puppies are reunited. Cooler witnesses the heartfelt moments between Colette and her pups. That was then, it was all coming together for Cooler. "Now I see. Saying I love you changes them back to normal. But hold on a moment, when I apologized to Reflex. It somehow worked. So what can I do to change my friends back?" Cooler starts to think, while he taps his foot. He ponders, then an idea hits him. "I dunno if an apologetic speech would work, but I'll have to try." He says, determined to save his friends.

Cooler gets in position and whistles, getting Howler and beamer's attention. "Well Cooler, here goes nothing." He walked over to them as they were about to pounce on Reflex. "Guys, I messed up, big time." Cooler starts the conversation. "You did, traitor." Howler growls. "And you weren't completely honest with us." Beamer added.

"I know, I know, and I shouldn't have. Because I wanted to reveal this bombshell, but I just don't know the right words to put it. But when Marvin revealed everything before me, he twisted them against me before I could ever tell my side of the story. But those memories were too painful to bear. It hurts because you don't know how he treated me, and he has been like that to me and the other dogs. Living up to their legacy, a legacy I refuse to be part of. I am a descendant to Digalot, you know it because I told you about this. The bone exhibit was almost a good opportunity for myself to tell you about my whole life, but I am a coward. And I didn't tell you all the truth, I was too blind and my ego took over. I'm sorry guys, I'll understand if my words mean nothing to you all. But just know, to me. You two will always be my best dog friends I ever made at the pound." Cooler says with his apology speech.

Beamer and Howler were about to attack Cooler, but they stopped and hesitated. Until the both of them shook their heads. Beamer and Howler are themselves again. "What even happened?" Howler wonders. "What was I doing?" Beamer added. "You guys!" Cooler hugs them. Beamer and Howler looked at each other, confused at this. "Uh what gives, why does it look like we were gone a long time?" Beamer wondered.

"You had guys, and I waited to say how sorry I am with the amount of times I messed up. I try to keep the team positive." Cooler said. "Cooler, are you ok?" Howler asked. "I am Howler, let's just say I felt guilt devour within me." Cooler replies. Howler starts to smile in return. "You know, me too. I just wished I could have been more brave like you guys." Howler said. "And there's always an opportunity waiting." Cooler said. "Uh guys?" Whopper points.

They all turn to see the two bulldogs, growling and seething. "Oh dear." Florence said. Adam, Mr. L, and the cats made it back to the dino exhibit room, only to see them being backed up by the two bulldogs. "They're in trouble." Hairball said. "Their goners if we don't do something." Charlemagne added. Adam looks from left and right, and sees the bell.

Remembering what happens when you ring the bell in front of Reflex, an idea is formed. "Let's see how powerful love can be." Adam hurries to the silver bell and rings it, making a loud sound.

Reflex is now suddenly in a trance, beginning to go on a kissing streak. Starting with the two bulldogs. "I love you." He smooches one bulldog, and then the other. The two bulldogs revert back to the cute little puppies. But he doesn't stop. "I love you, I love you." He kisses Beamer, Howler, and Bright eyes. "I love you." Then to Cooler, Whopper, and Florence. Then finally he smooches Big Paw. Adam and Mr. L on the other hand, got licked right on their faces. "Way to go, Reflex." Adam said with a cheer as Mr. L wipes the saliva off of his face cheek.

"That was a terrific performance, Reflex." Cooler compliments Reflex's efforts. "Sure, and Adam? Please don't ring some bells. I don't wanna do that again." Reflex said. "Okay, but no promises." Adam teases. Reflex just smiles happily, he knows he's serious but doesn't mind it. "Now we have to go after McNasty and his goons. They're planning an escape." Big paw said.

"Right, let's go gang. The battle isn't over yet." Cooler said. "Be right back, there's something I need to fetch. Time to bring back an old favorite." Whopper said. Adam nods in response. Whopper went in the opposite direction and went to the doggy door. While Adam, the cats, and the pound puppies all rush off to go after Marvin McNasty.

Whopper's dog house

Whopper rushes to his dog house and finds the hidden button on the squeaky toy and pushes it. Revealing the hidden trapdoor. Whopper walks down the wooden steps and enters his secret room. Filled with his toys, and some stash of dog treats. He eventually made it to his closet, and opened it by turning the knob. Facing something he recognizes.

"Hello old friend, your time has finally come."

Adam and company rush in a hurry to find Marvin and stop him from escaping, and right when they make it to the main lobby area. They found Marvin and his goons, not bothering to run. But that's not what's shocking. They happen to have Oswin captured in a bubble.

"Ah if it isn't Adam and the pound puppies." Marvin addresses them. "And…Cats of course." He says in disgust. "Took you long enough to be here, Me and my pals here were just getting bored. But now, all of this has led to this very moment." Marvin says, about to start some monologue. "Oh boy, he's gonna monologue." Cooler rolls his eyes.

"I never expected someone with royal blood of Arthur would be helping the puppies, but I guess I underestimated fate. I guess you call this a nasty reunion, wouldn't ya say?" Marvin said. "Ya know, I thought those stories were just a mere fantasy. But after learning about the powers of this necklace, the whole truth of the sword and Camelot. I understood everything about what role I needed to play. And that's taking that bone back." Adam said.

"You know I won't give up so easily boy, I planned for years and years for this. It has been my destiny to claim what is rightfully mine. That sword means nothing to me anymore, all I want is that bone." Marvin said. "What do you plan to do now? No one will address you as king just because you have the bone of scone in your hand, times have changed. They will look at you like a madman who's not gonna take your crap seriously." Adam said.

"I have the pound, next will be the country, and eventually…THE WORLD! When all would see how threatening we are they will take us seriously and bend the knee." Marvin said. "Not if I have anything to say about it, as long as we stand." Adam takes Excalibur out of the scabbard, the sword briefly glows. "So that's how it's gonna be is it? I waited for this moment for a long time." Marvin raises his axe. "Let's have a duel, shall we?"

"Bring it on." Adam said. "With pleasure." Marvin replied. And so the battle between Marvin and Adam commences. Their weapons clashing with each other and stepping back while pacing slowly to one side with their defensive posture up. Adam blocks some blows as Marvin keeps swinging his axe. He tried to hit his knees, but Adam evaded his attack by jumping and returned his attack by swinging Excalibur. Making a majestic glow and striking Marvin, making him flinch.

This angers Marvin and charges towards him aggressively. Adam swings his sword once again and shoots a magic projectile at him. Hitting Marvin, making him stop for a moment. He shakes off the pain and focuses back to charge at Adam. He swings his axe, Adam dodges another swing. Only to be punched by Marvin, but he composes himself and dodges another axe chop.

Everyone watched in awe as the battle went on, Oswin watched this. He suddenly imagines Arthur and the black knight fighting. Reenacting the old fight back in the dark ages. Mr. L watched very closely from a little distance as Adam dodges, blocks, and parries his attacks. He turns to Marvin as he sidekicks Adam, tripping him on the floor. Adam rolls out of the way before he is almost stomped on by Marvin. Adam gets back up.

"Nice trick old man, you almost had me there." Adam remarked. "It seems so, but I got more tricks right up my sleeve." Marvin throws a glass bottle with a red colored liquid in it. Adam side turns, avoiding the incoming glass bottle. Cooler backs up before the glass bottle would hit him, and the bottle shattered. Making a live fire. "Yikes, we almost got cooked." Cooler said.

Seeing he's about to throw more, Adam grabs the nearest medium shield from the display and blocks another glass bottle. Making another fire upon impact, Marvin throws another one, making a little smoke. Charlemagne didn't like that he wasn't playing fair. She decides to do something about it. She spotted something useful, a bow and arrow. She carefully sneaks over to get them. Hairball sees her sneaking off. "Hey, what are you doing?" Hairball asked.

"Shhh." She shushes him to be quiet. "I'm gonna give him a good ol 'payback I've been itching to get by evening the odds." Charlemagne obtains the bow and arrow. She scans around the museum's layout and checks on Adam and Marvin.

Marvin throws a glass bottle with green liquid, hitting the shield. Making the shield melt from acid. Adam quickly throws the shield away. "I better hurry." Charlemagne said. She sees another empty suit of armor holding a shield. Remembering where Marvin is at, this is now her chance to make a shot. She pulls the string with the arrow, and releases it. The arrow hits the shield and ricochets towards Marvin. Hitting him in the back. "YEOW!" Marvin screams in pain.

Charlemagne shoots another arrow, the same thing happens. Hitting his helm, making the top close itself, hitting his tongue. Starting to make a funny sound. "Hope you didn't bite your tongue." She smirks. Marvin opens the latch of his helmet. He looks to see who's shooting those arrows. Gritting his teeth seeing who it was. "You darn, damn cat!" Marvin throws multiple glass bottles at her. Charlemagne moves left and right, dodging those bottles of liquid he kept throwing. "Here's something to shut your potty mouth up." After the last bottle was thrown, she leaped up in the air and took the final shot at him.

This time her last shot was a plunder arrow as she shot it without hesitation, while the world around her felt like it was in slow motion. In a flash the plunder arrow hit Marvin square in the face, she managed to get an accurate shot. Marvin tries with all his might to get it removed, unaware Hairball is sneaking right beside him. "No one hurts Charlemagne, or my friends." Hairball spits out his hairball, landing on the middle of the plunger arrow. Making Marvin sneeze as a result, he sneezed again, and again as he kept trying to pull it out.

He then tripped, falling back. Taking the plunger out of his mouth. "Ugh, You win this round. But I still have the bone in my nasty grip. Victory is all mine! To me, all of you. We're leaving!" Marvin shouts and goes out of the door first. "Boss, wait for us!" Lumpy said and he left next, so did the rest of the goons. "They're getting away with the artifact!" Mr. L said.

"We got to chase him." Cooler said. "But h-how?" Howler asked. "I'll find a way, and we'll all do it together. One of us would have to go get the police." Cooler said. "I'll go." Oswin volunteers. "We will too." Jeff said. "Then it's settled, we'll have to call for help while the rest of you will chase down Marvin McNasty." Mr. L said. "What are we waiting for? Let's go get em." Big paw said. Cooler looked outside the windows from the doors and saw something useful, A black motorcycle. "Adam, you're in charge of the group, we're gonna finish this once and for all." Cooler said as he and Big paw went outside.

Adam nods his head. "Don't worry Cooler, McNasty thinks it is. But this isn't over yet."

Marvin and his goons in a truck, raced to the streets. Making a quick getaway with the bone of scone in hand. Marvin is the one driving, obviously. Lumpy and bones are in the front seats. The rest of their henchmen? Sitting tight in the back truck. "We're homefree Lumpy." Bones said. "I can't wait to see the world be just like in the dark ages." Parker said. "Nothing can't stop us now!" Boris says out loud.

Lumpy and Bones enjoy the cold windy breeze from the passenger side, but Lumpy sees something on the rear window that made him think his mind was playing tricks. At second glance, it is clear it wasn't. He sees someone. Bones also saw the rear window, and he gasped. Bones and Lumpy both turned around and saw someone on their tail.

"Hey boss, your old friend is after us." Bones tries to warn Marvin. "Cooler? Don't be ridiculous." Marvin says with doubt, ignoring Lumpy. "No boss really, look." Bones persuades him to look at the rear window. Marvin looks at the rear mirror so that he can get the two to be quiet. The moment he glanced at a window, he gasped in shock. "Whaaa?" He says with a shocked look. It's that familiar beagle, Cooler. On their tail. "Determined mutt aren't you? I'll fix that." He pushes the button.

The truck released some marbles on the road to try to slow Cooler down, but he dodged those marbles. "Now to make a quick turn." Marvin pushes another button, releasing the mechanic's hand wearing a white glove. Grabbing the street pole, and turning to another road. Cooler makes a drift to the left and follows him. Cooler speeds up the engine of the motorcycle passing by Lumpy from the passenger side. "The hell?" Lumpy swears.

Cooler pushes the brakes a little, and does an awesome motorcycle slide, and poses in a cool way right at the front of the road, stopping the truck in their tracks. Marvin growls and seething at Cooler. "Too cool just because you have a bike?" Marvin asks. "No, too cool to never give up. Until I snatch the bone of scone back." Cooler said. "We'll see about that old friend." Marvin remarks, and speeds off. Cooler continues to pursue him.

Marvin makes a quick left turn, Cooler did the same. "Cooking and roasting will for sure stop you, for good." He pushes another button. The truck squirts some oil on the road, he pushes another button again, and the mechanic hand drops the match. Lighting the road on fire. Cooler sees with a worried look at the flames on the road. "Oh crap, what do I do? I can't let him get away now." He looks around and tries to think fast. That was when he saw a ramp.

"Perfect." He sees a big metal container with a big sturdy wood next to it. "Here goes nothing." He speeds up to go faster, and rams into the ramp, making him go up in the air. Giving him a good boost to get to the truck. As soon as he caught sight of the truck, he took the chance to bail and jump. Landing right on top of the truck.

"That should take care of that mutt." Lumpy said. "But what about the cops?" Bones wondered. "We'll lose them too. Nothing can stop me now." Marvin said, filled with determination. It was when they started to hear the sounds of the sirens. He looked at the car window to see, funny
enough. Cops. Flashing their red and blue lights as they were on the pursuit after McNasty.

"I know the perfect solution to stop you coppers." Marvin pushes the button. The truck's backlights fired some nails, hitting the police's tires. With the tires flat, it put a stop to their pursuit towards Marvin, and his gang. "Like I say: Nothing can stop me now." Marvin said. Once again, he would have to eat his words when there's something in the road.

It's big paw, standing ready for them. "Big paw!" Lumpy and Bones both say at the same time and hold each other in fright. "Try to get through to me now McNasty." Big paw said. "I don't think so, you big puppy." Marvin pushes the button. Making the truck extend very tall, passing by Big paw. The truck goes lower, and goes right back to the normal truck. Driving away from Big paw. "Hey, that's not fair. They're cheating." Big paw said with little anger and chased them.

Cooler climbs on the truck slowly. The wind flies very past Cooler, slowing him down due to Marvin going fast with the truck. He puts one paw in front of the other, climbing on the roof of the truck. Meanwhile, Big paw tries to catch up. Then he saw the sewer lid, and dived down.

Cooler continues on climbing while struggling to get to the driver's window. After some slow climbing with all the cold wind. He hopped down, and stood there for a moment to catch his breath. "Is it just me, or are we going back to the museum?" Bones thought. "Ah don't be ridiculous, we're not going the wrong way." Lumpy brushes him off. "But we are, the roads do look familiar." Bones said. Cooler takes the chance to jump down, and attempts to take the wheel from Marvin. Catching Marvin, Lumpy, and Bones off guard.

"HEY! Unhand that steering wheel you dirty mutt!" Marvin roared. "The Jig is up Marvin, give it up." Cooler said. "NEVER!" Marvin struggles to regain control of the steering wheel. As the battle for the control of the truck goes on, Big Paw pops up from the sewers and nibs the back of the truck in an attempt to stop the vehicle. "Let go." Cooler shouts. "You let go, you get in my way for far too long. Just like how Arthur and his pet dog got in the way of my ancestors destiny." Marvin said. "They did, and you can bet I can do the same." Cooler replied.

"Hey boss, look." Lumpy points towards something in their path. Marvin looks to where Lumpy is pointing. "Ah no, the police!" He sees several cops with Adam, Oswin, Mr L, Tammy, and Jeff. Police officers Stood their ground, preparing themselves. With five dogs and two cats alongside them. Marvin turned the wheel in a panic, and only went right back to the entrance of the museum, crashing into the doorway.

Cooler let go of the truck, Big paw catches Cooler at the nick of time. Leaving the truck causing some crashing and smashing until they finally stopped after colliding into the dinosaur bones in a dinosaur exhibit. All the bones scatter on the floor, making a big mess. Everyone from outside of the museum re enters and looks for Marvin.

"Come on, they crashed this way." Reflex said. "Hey, wait for us dude." Beamer said.
Reflex goes off ahead in fours style. Others follow to catch up. Cooler hops down to the ground level, and dusts off his coat. "Let's go nab those bad guys." Big paw said and ran ahead. "Let's." Cooler says in agreement and follows him.

They all arrived at the dinosaur exhibit to apprehend the McNasty once and for all.

"McNasty, show yourself." Adam called. "Here I am." Marvin responds. Adam turns to where he heard that voice, and finds him, but who he's carrying made him all worried. He has Reflex captured in his arms. "Reflex." Howler said with concern for his friend. Reflex struggles to break free but to no avail, Marvin's grip is too strong. "Let me go, let me go." He said in a scared tone.

"Don't come any closer if you people know what's good for you." Marvin threatens them. "Don't you hurt him you bully." Bright eyes say with an intimidated look towards him. "Nonsense dear dog, I won't do such a thing. But what I will do is put him in that machine and make him nasty once again." Marvin chugs him into the mean machine.

"Scourandal!" Mr. L calls him. Marvin takes his insult as a complement. "You're too kind." The mean machine begins to activate. "Witness the power of my MEAN machine!" He laughs devilishly. Reflex looks in horror as he sees his friends watching. Helpless to escape the machine. "REFLEX!" Adam screams his name. Reflex thought it was over, he was gonna change back to be a mean dog, a mindless slave to Marvin McNasty for all eternity.

The mean machine is beginning the process, but to everyone's surprise. It suddenly stopped. "Huh?" Marvin wondered. Lumpy looked angrily towards Bones. "What's the big idea, Bones, I thought it was working?" Bones accuses him. "But it has been working fine ever since we got to the pound." Bones says in his defense.

Reflex takes the chance to leap out of the machine, and flees towards his friend's side. Marvin examines the machine. The mean machine explodes in front of him, now in a broken state. "My mean machine! What's going on with my finest machine!?" He yelled in anger.

"My doing, I did some reworking you nasty scum." A familiar pup said. Marvin looked up to the source of that voice. So did Cooler, and gasped in shock like he thought his mind was playing tricks on him, but it isn't. He's already awake, and what he's seeing is believing. "I don't believe it." Cooler said in awe.

Everyone looked to see it was none other than Whopper, standing in his heroic pose. On the top of the balcony. And he's wearing something completely different.

Whopper's outfit consists of a black, blue with a little bit of red on his bodysuit, with a ninja-like mask for his head. Carrying double toy swords on his back, and what appears to be ninja stars and smoke bombs around his belt. In the middle of his suit has a logo showing two of the same letters, W. He grabs the rope and swings down from the balcony.

Then he jumps off and lands on the ground level with his fist on the floor, posing heroically. "Wonder whopper, has returned." He announces it to everyone. "Alright Whopper!" Bright eyes cheered. "Outwitted by a puppy? That was humiliating." Cooler jokes.

Marvin's face turned red in anger, and made those train sounds. His goons see he's really mad. "I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS MOCKERY!" He shouted while throwing a fit.
"Give up Marvin!" Jeff yelled. "There's nowhere to go." Tammy added. "Hand it over Marvin, you have lost." Cooler said. "Never…NEVER, NEVER! You will not best me yet again!" Marvin yells angrily. "Fellow knights, get ready to attack!" He commands them.

His henchmen's get ready as they get in their attack positions. "You forget I still have the bone, and all of its power!" Marvin said and laughed. "You won't for long when we take it back from you." Adam said. "With you and those little dogs and cats? Not a chance." Marvin said. "Yeah, you won't stand a chance." Lumpy said.

Adam growled at him, then he felt his shoulder tapped, from Mr. L. "We may be a small army, but together we're strong." Mr. L said. "You and what army?" Boris taunts. Mr. L steps forward. "Me and my trusty lance here." Mr. L reveals his sacred spear. A tall fancy lance. Everyone gasped at his weapon. "That weapon, that can't mean he-" Bones said. "That's right, you know it belonged to the one and only." Mr. L takes off his jacket, revealing a long blonde haired man in a white T shirt. "Lancelot." He revealed himself.

"It can't be! I thought the round table no longer exists." Marvin said with anger. "It doesn't, but the legacy and the legend still thrive." Lancelot said. Adam watches in awe. "So you're really Lancelot?" Adam asked. "Yes, but the recent one in the bloodline. So it's Lancelot the second." Lancelot said. "Oh my." Florence said in awe. "Holy moly." Whopper does the same.

"I always knew someone like you would try to reclaim the bone of scone, even if the round table disbanded. We always have one vow we always remember. Protecting the relic from the days of Camelot." Lancelot raises his spear. "Stupid kids…I won't be scared of some pretty boy. GET THEM!" Marvin issues the command. "You heard the boss, let's mow them!" Boris said.

Bones, Lumpy, and the rest of the goons make a charge towards the whole group. "Let's do it gang!" Cooler runs on fours towards them. "Yeah, let's do it!" Whopper, and the rest of the pound puppies do the same while the two cats are right behind them. Adam and Lancelot looked at each other with their confident attitude. "Shall we?" Adam said. "After you." Lancelot replied. Adam and Lancelot split up and head right into the battlefield.

Cooler stood facing Boris, he whistled at him. "Over here tough guy." Cooler taunts. "Come here mutt." Boris thrusts his sword at Cooler, but he jumps. Impaling the floor. Cooler lands on the blade. Walks up to him while doing the charleston, and slams shut his visor. Hurting his nose. "Yeow!" Boris yells in pain. He lifts the visor back up. "I'll teach you to-" He charges towards Cooler, raising his longsword. Cooler trips his leg, knocking him down to the ground. Clashing right into the wall, and falling back down unconscious. "Watch out for that wall." Cooler giggles at his own joke.

Chester shows off his nunchaku skills to Jeff and Tammy before he really hurts them. Jeff and Tammy step back, a little scared of him. "You're gonna be sorry for opposing the McNasty kids" Right before he was gonna use the nunchaku, he felt a sharp pain in his leg. Looking down to see it was Florence. "Florence." Tammy called. Chester tries to shake off Florence.
"Get off me you stupid-" He bumped into a set of armor, and tripped backwards. Chester got angry at Florence before Tammy slammed the helm on his head, followed by Jeff hitting the helm with his Nunchaku he dropped. He lifts his helmet up, revealing his dizzy face. Florence just blows at him with air, making him fall back down. "Score one for us." Jeff cheered and high-fived Tammy and Florence.

Parker shoots some arrows at Charlemagne. Hairball and Howler are right beside her. Taking cover from Parker's incoming Arrows. Parker shoots another arrow while Howler crawls on fours, planning to sneak up on him as he's fully focused on the cat. Parker shoots another arrow. Howler takes his chance to take all of his arrows. Parker grabs another arrow, but he realizes something's off. He checks his quiver, it's empty. "What the?" He turns his head to see Howler, his arrow thief. "Hey, that's mine." He unsheathes his short sword.

"You're gonna pay for that." He threatens. With his back turned, Charlemagne sees the opportunity to shoot an arrow. The arrow flew, and struck his bottom. "Ow!" He turned back around looking angrily at the cat. "Now you're asking for it, cat." He said. With all his might, Howler uses the arrows and jabs his bottom. Making him cry in pain. "Here I come!" Hairball leaps right up to his face. Blinding him. "Hey you, get off." Chester attempts to get Hairball off of him. But he's struggling. "Slow him down." Howler grips on his right leg. "Hang in there hairball." Charlemagne also joins in, by grabbing his left leg. Gripping tightly with her claws.

"What's going on, I feel like I'm carrying some bricks." Chester said as he struggled to get Hairball off of his face.

Whopper and Bright eyes confront Lumpy and bones, face to face. "Been looking forward to settling the score with you little mutt." Bones said. "Yeah, you embarrassed us last time at the museum." Bones added. "I'm not just a little mutt, I'm Wonder Whopper." Whopper said, trying to sound intimidating. "Wanna play superheroes huh, alright then. Let's play." Lumpy said.

He slams his club at him. Whopper backs up, avoiding that blunt hit. Whopper walks up to the club and jumps. "Take that." He Pounded his face and He jumped down, doing a heroic pose. "En garde." Bones charges towards Whopper. He throws some fake stars at Bones. Hitting him, of course, no effect since it bounces off. Bones stops and starts laughing.

"Really? They're just toys. Is that all you got pup?" Bones points and laughs. "Not really." Whopper replied. "Huh?" Bones suddenly got tackled by bright eyes. "Bright eyes to the rescue." Bright eyes announced. "Get off, come on." He pushed her off. He lunges at Bright eyes. Before she could think, a smokescreen came out of nowhere. "Hey, what's going on?" Bones wondered. Bright eyes ran away from Bones, and got out of the smokescreen.

She ran back to Whopper's side. "Was that you Whopper?" Bright eyes asked. "Sure is." Whopper shows her the smoke bomb. "Pretty cool huh? I've been working on it." Whopper said proudly. Bright eyes made a worried look. "Whopper, look out behind you." She points to warn him. Whopper turns around to see Lumpy running towards them both with his club raised.

"You both are mine now." Lumpy said with full determination. "There you are." Bright eyes and Whopper see Bones emerging from the smoke. "Now I gotchu." He charges with his fencing sword, getting ready to strike. Bright eyes and Whopper both look back and forth to Lumpy and Bones as they're both charging at the same time. Not knowing what to do. Until Whopper thought of an idea. "Bright eyes on my mark, we both jump out of the way." Whopper suggested.

"Good Idea." Bright eyes replied. As soon as Bones and Lumpy are almost right to them. "NOW!" Whopper gives the signal. He and Bright eyes leaped out of the way, causing Lumpy and bones to collide with each other, stunned and showing stars on their heads.

"Long live McNasty!" Sam charges with his spear at Lancelot. "For Camelot!" Lancelot lets out his battle cry and does the same. Both of their spears clash with each other. Exchanging blows. Same jabs with his spear, Lancelot dodges one thrust after another. He swings his lance only for Sam to duck out of the way. Before Sam could continue his fight, he felt something cold.

"Huh?" He looks down to see his two feet frozen in ice. "My feet are frozen. What happened?" Out of nowhere he got whacked in the head by a wooden staff. Making him collapse on the ground. Lancelot saw it was Oswin's doing. "I was doing fine ya know." Lancelot said. "I haven't even used some magic to test on anybody. Can't let you have all the fun." Oswin chuckles.

"I suppose that's fair." Lancelot said. Oswin and Lancelot see both cats and dogs fighting Marvin's goons. Managing well, or just struggling. "And there's still more room for one of us to fight more of his henchmen." Lancelot smirks. "So what are we waiting for?" Oswin goes off ahead to aid one of the animals. Lancelot shrugs and goes off as well.

A big roar is heard, getting everyone's attention. It was Big Paw, standing and intimidating. Big paw glares at the goons, getting them to drop their weapons in fear. Lumpy and Bones are met with his angry glare and put down their weapons innocently. Not fully convinced, he puts his paw on Lumpy and Bones, pinning them both on the floor. "Anyone want to mess with me, anyone?" Big Paw asks them. Marvin's Goons shook their heads as a no. "I thought so."

With the goons out of the way, this is Adam's chance to find Marvin and settle this once and for all. It wasn't hard to find him luckily, and he eventually did. Marvin and Adam look at each other face to face. "Nowhere to run or hide now Marvin." Adam called out to him. "It seems so." Marvin holds his axe using both hands. "I suppose we both waited for this moment to arrive haven't we?" Marvin said. "No way to avoid it now, you gave me no choice. We won't leave until the bone of scone is back where it belongs." Adam said with determination.

"Then come to me child, I wanted to look all mighty and terrifying like sir McNasty." Marvin said. "It all ends here." Adam raises Excalibur, making a faint blue glow. Thus, the final conflict begins.

Their weapons clash again and again, exchanging of steel echoes throughout the exhibit. Marvin swings his axe, Adam dodges by backing up. Retaliating with a strong attack, making him back up a bit before regaining his stance. They clashed again, facing each other. "You got some skill for a kid, I'll give you that." Marvin parries and pushes him. Staggering him. He thankfully backsteps, dodging his deadly chop. Marvin runs up the stairs, Adam pursuits him. He manages to catch up with him, and goes right back to the conflict. "Yes, you are indeed Arthur reborn. It's a shame I could have destroyed that kid, but I'm afraid his dog isn't so lucky this time. He was lucky a few times in the past, but in the end he met a fatal end." Marvin said. A mention of Arthur's dog got his attention.

"What?" Adam dreaded assuming what may have happened. "You don't mean…" Adam is about to guess. "Oh I do, you didn't know? Sir Digalot has been fallen, by the very black knight himself. This part had put a smile on my face, I once reacted like you had. But I can say I feel no sympathy for him or Cooler. I think my father would love meeting you, he's nasty more than me." Marvin said. "I say you, your dad, or even your family are evil." Adam said.

"More than you think boy." Marvin replied. "Then I'll avenge sir Digalot then, I'll make Sir McNasty regret what he did." Adam said. "He won't when this war is over, I'll take care of you first, and then maybe Cooler next. I'll finish it in a similar fashion to how Sir McNasty eradicated that mutt." Marvin said. "SHUT UP!" Adam charges towards Marvin and begins to hit him rapidly.

Marvin blocked one each fast slashes of his sword. "Struck a nerve? Good." Marvin said while staring at him with an evil grin. He elbowed him, readying to chop him. Then Adam counterattacks with his head-butt. Irritated by that, he charges towards Adam and swings his axe. Adam tries blocking each chopping attack from his axe.

He is getting backed up until he starts to struggle maintaining his balance, on the verge of falling down. Already, it is too late. But not before trying to find something to hang on, but tugs Marvin's hand instead. Dragging him down with him and falling down from the balcony on the second floor. Both of them land on the first floor of the exhibit, making a loud noise.

Enough to get everyone's attention. The impact from falling knocked them out, Marvin is the first to wake up. Adam is still laying unconscious, this is now his chance. Marvin picks up his axe, and goes forth towards Adam, all while limping and out of breath. Just in time for Adam to wake, but his vision looked blurry. Making it difficult for him to see what's going on.

The closer Marvin got, the tighter he clutched on the axe. Anticipating his moment Adam gets himself up, shaking his head to ease the dizziness. When he is finally in range, he wastes no time, and raises his axe. Adam's vision cleared, seeing Marvin was about to make his final strike. Adam had only a split second to react, fast.

He raised his sword in a defensive stance right when Marvin had swung his axe. He saved himself from death before him, but. Sounds of the blade echoed. A big blue flash happened before them. The half part of the sword slid right to Whopper. Sounds of Gasped filled the room. Adam regained his vision, and looked at his sword in complete shock to see the condition. Excalibur broke in two.

"No, Excalibur…It can't be, no!" Adam said. Marvin starts to laugh at him. "What's wrong Adam? Powerless without your ancestor's sword? I will say, you put up a good fight, kid. But like all battles, there's always a winner." Marvin says as he grips his axe. "I AM THE WINNER!" Marvin yells victoriously. There's a brief pause between Marvin and Adam. "I'm sure you heard about the fight my ancestor won, over the sword back in the dark ages. Just like how I won against you." Marvin taunts him.

Marvin raises his axe, preparing to finish him off. "Now for the pleasure of, FINISHING YOU!" Marvin swings his axe at Adam. Adam sees life flash before his eyes, he thought this is it for him. Coming this far, only to end his journey in defeat. He failed them, all of them. All is lost.

Adam closes his eyes, ready to accept his fate. Not noticing anything happening. Only awaiting the final blow. Sounds of cold steel ringed his ears, something stopped his fate. He then opened his eyes, seeing someone had saved him. Unexpectedly, it was Whopper. Blocking Marvin's edged axe using the broken tip piece of Excalibur. A blue glow swirled around the broken blade.

"I don't believe it, Whopper?" Adam said, surprised a pup like him came to his rescue, not just him, but to Cooler, the dogs, Jeff, and Tammy. Even Charlemagne and Hairball had the same reaction. "Surprised to see me huh? Wonder Whopper to the rescue." Whopper said. Marvin growled in annoyance at his little interference. "You dare stand in my way you little Mutt!" Marvin says, and steps back. "I'll show you how to make a fool out of me!" He takes the bone of scone out of his armor. "Bone of Scone, give me the power I desire, give it all to me! So I can unleash my true form!" Marvin chants.

The mystic bone starts to glow bright. Whopper, Adam, and everyone else witnessed what was about to happen. But before it could do any harm, the light slightly started to phase out. "Huh?" Marvin sees something isn't right. "Wait, what's going on? WHAT's going on?!" And the glow faded away. Everyone just stood there, wondering what happened. "What have you done?!" Marvin yelled. Before he could do any harm on Whopper, something else happened.

His black armor started to disappear. But it's not just him, Lumpy and Bones armor disappears. "Hey." Bones gasped. "My awesome armor." Lumpy said. All the goons that had the armor, gone. "The bone of scone doesn't obey humans, especially someone with a nasty personality. Only dogs can possess the power with which it stands." Cooler states the big info. The rest of the Goons armor disappears, reducing them back to their casual clothing.

"I-Impossible." Marvin stutters. Confused, and shocked at the same time.
So much so his arm started to shake rapidly, causing him to drop the bone. Unaware of Whopper rushing for the bone, he grabs it. "Whopper, what are you doing?" Adam asked. Whopper presents the bone to Adam, and everybody. The bone of scone starts to make a blue glow.

"Finishing what we started." Whopper said. "What do you mean Whopper?" Adam replied. "Think about it Adam, if it wasn't for the scone bone. We wouldn't have been in this mess to begin with. I'm going to finish this." Whopper said. "What are you talking about, what are you planning?" Adam said, confused about this.

"Yeah, what are you even saying?" Cooler said. "Stop! Give me that bone back." Marvin pleads on his knees. "I have to end this Adam, it should have been done a long time ago. Cooler's ancestor didn't get a chance to end it when he should have, but now. I'm gonna make sure it ends here. Whopper said. Cooler gets what he is about to do.

"Whopper no!" Cooler yells. "Wait, you don't know what you're doing." Marvin begs. "This feud is officially over!" Whopper raises the bone up in the air, and chucks the bone hard to the ground. Shattering it to a lot of pieces. "No, you stupid-" Marvin gets cut off by the big blue flash.

Adam's perspective

I couldn't tell what was happening around me after that bright blue flash that white out the entire building. Knocking me out. Everything was dark for me, real dark. For mere moments, I slowly regained my consciousness. Upon fully opening my eyes, I gasped at the sights of the flames. Flames within the museum exhibit. That blue flash must have been powerful enough to cause anything flammable to burst in flames. I could tell as I felt the high temperature. A bit hot, but not on the same level as volcanos.

I try to lift myself up, but my body is too weak for me to get up. I thought to myself no one is there to help, because I can't tell if anyone survived or probably in the same position as I am. "Adam…Adam!" I heard a familiar voice. I felt someone trying to lift me up, when I saw who it was. It's Whopper, he sure earned that wonder title if I do say so myself.

"Come on, we need to get going." Whopper tried with all of his might to get myself up. "What's happening?" I asked Whopper for some recap on what even just happened. "I destroyed the bone scone, but I didn't count on how magical it really is to cause a fire in this place." He tells me as he looks at me, giving me a worried look. "How's everyone, are they okay?" I added that question, hoping that anyone isn't too hurt.

"Don't worry, they are-" Before Whopper could tell me, the sounds of creaking blades intercepted his words. The moment we look to the source of that sound. My eyes went wide in horror at such sights. The sight of Cooler, holding the half broken Excalibur. Slowly approaching Marvin. I right away knew what he was going to do.

Howler's POV

Waking up to see a bunch of fire filled me with worries, I don't know what I am supposed to do at this rate. Staying positive isn't gonna help me much with all of this. But what about everyone? Are they hurt, are they okay? "I-I hope no one is hurt." I talked to myself.
Where could they be? I looked around trying to hurry. Just so happens, I found some people. And the dogs. Adam and Whopper are alright. So is Cooler, thank goodness. Not only that, I even see all the remaining others here. Tammy, Jeff, Colette, her pups, even the rest of the gang. All except for Miss Nose. I worry, but the fire is getting worse. I have to help them. This is my big chance, and I won't back down.

Beamer's POV

Man, why am I feeling warm right now? I see, everything is on fire. That really doesn't look good, not to mention my body is too tired to stand up. I don't think I can't make it. My friends around me are suffering in the same condition as I am. "I guess this is it for us man…"

"Beamer!" I know that loud voice. "Beamer..?" I softly said. "Upsy daisy." Howler helped me up. How about that, he's actually getting himself an awesome moment as a pound puppy. "Beamer, are you okay?" He asks me with worrisome eyes. "Relax, relax, I'm alright. Howler." I reassure my pal to calm him down. "And everyone?" Howler gives me another question with that same worried look. I look to the others like Florence next to me. They were either tired or knocked out cold. Colette still has her energy, she's still wide awake. Protecting her puppies.

"Not doing very well, but we gotta help them. You with me Howler?" I offered him my paw. He nodded his head and took it. We both shook our paws and we went to help everyone. For me, I made sure to find someone very near. Starting with Florence. Howler went to help the group that were together. Starting with Tammy.

No POV

Cooler slowly walks towards Marvin while holding Excalibur, intending on ending him and the clan of the McNasties. All the torment, the pain he's enduring because of him. He is seizing his chance. It was now or never. Marvin finds this amusing, but knowing this. If he really does do it. His path will forever be sealed. An action that will change him.

"Are you hurt? Walking nimb little mutt? You must be, it's really funny to watch you walk so slowly to delay the inevitable." Marvin taunts him. "You won't find this funny…when I'm done with you…And you will be off the books." Cooler replies in a harsh tone. Marvin cackles in response to his tone of voice. "You really think this would end this for you? Do you think it makes this all better? The tactics I try to change you? Just to make you a guard dog-" Marvin kept going on, and Cooler just cut him off before he would keep talking.

"SHUT IT! I don't wanna hear none of this, I'm gonna make sure you don't hurt me, or everyone else. Never, again." Cooler bares his fangs at Marvin. "That's it, approach me. Make your move, and prove you're not just some weak pup you once were. Only you can end this, I am at your mercy." Marvin teases. "No one is here to give you mercy…" Cooler is now eventually close enough to Marvin. Now in range. "Not even from me." He coldly tells him.

Marvin snickers. Ready to embrace death, and to him. He will truly earn that McNasty title. "Claim my life, seize your victory." He tells him. Cooler raises the broken sword and points. Ready to thrust the sharpest part of the blade to his cold heart.

"This is for Digalot!" Cooler shouts with a cry and right away stabs him without hesitation. Marvin shuts his eyes, ready to accept his fate. Yet, he hasn't felt a jab. Opening his eyes, he sees what stopped Cooler from doing a nasty thing. Adam stood in his way, holding the blade. "Cooler, what is wrong with you!?" Adam yelled at him.

"Taking him out, stand aside Adam!" Cooler tries to get Adam to move, but he refuses. "You mean kill him? And then what? Will you feel the same after this? Would anyone, or even your ancestors, want this? We don't have to forgive him. But killing him won't solve any of this." Adam tries to persuade him. "So he should just live?" Cooler said.

"I don't like it as much as you do, but even I think ending his life is low, even for coolers like you." Whopper chimed in. "What you're doing isn't the coolers way, this is a nasty thing to do. This is what the McNasty would do. I get it, I really do. He's hurt you so much, he made your friends turn against you. But we were able to get the pound puppies back together. You messed this up a few times, Cooler, but this is your chance to not mess this up again." Adam pleads.

"Cooler…Please…" Whopper begs. "Let it go Cooler. Think about it, is this really the right thing for you? Will the name Pound Puppies mean anything to you? Will all the great things you said mean nothing to you? Are you just gonna be like Marvin now? Don't, please don't be like him. No one would see you the same way again if you took his life. If you do, there isn't taking it back." Adam says with a speech, hoping it would change his mind.

Cooler shows signs of hesitation, debating whether he should commit to this or not. Thinking long and hard about it as he grips tightly on the handle of Excalibur. "Please Cooler, please…" Adam begged, hoping to convince him. Cooler looked at Adam and Whopper's pleading eyes. Then at his paw, shaking nervously. Then to the reflection of himself on the broken blade. "Dude think about it, this isn't us, or you." Cooler's conscience tells him. Out of nowhere, Digalot made an appearance. Much to his confusion. "Are you gonna let him go, or go low? Make a choice, a wise choice." Digalot said.

Cooler shook his head and looked at the broken blade again, but he was nowhere to be seen. Just his reflection. Now he understands something, killing Marvin won't make things better. Only worse. So Cooler does the right thing by dropping his sword. "I made too many mistakes, but not this time. Not this time." Cooler tells himself that. He suddenly felt being grabbed in an embrace, he saw it was Adam. "I always knew you were not like them, just a Cooler."

Cooler couldn't help but smile, and returned the hug. "It's what I do kid." He replies. Whopper can't help but shed a tear at this moment. "I sure love happy endings." He said emotionally.
Marvin McNasty however just rolled his eyes at this. "Hmph, pathetic." He says with a sour tone. Whopper heard that, which made him growl at this. He took out one of his toy swords and whacked him on the head. The impact made his head dizzy and collapsed. "Ah shut up." Whopper said as he put one of his toy swords up.

***
Outside of the museum, each police officer had handcuffed Marvin's goons including Bones and Lumpy. The news crew also makes an appearance at the scene. "Well that could have gotten better than we hoped." Lumpy said. "Hey, maybe jail won't be so bad here Lumpy." Bones said, trying to cheer him up. But that just only made Lumpy even more grumpy. "Just shut up you idiot, you don't even know the half of it." Lumpy replied.

"Maybe next time?" Chester thought. "I don't think I'll be doing this again when I get out." Parker said. "Anyone want to play, go fish?" Sam suggested. "Please stop talking, all of you." Boris said, feeling annoyed.

"This is local ND84 news, today we are on scene where a purple jacket man vandalized and attempted to steal an artifact in the city's well known museum. The thing he stole was known as the bone of scone. A mythical bone said to contain powers that can give anyone an ability to understand the animals language. But not only that, he is also the culprit behind the vandalism during the incident when the bone was taken. Costing billions of dollars in damages. Thankfully the bone will not be taken, and it's all thanks to Adam, Oswin, Lancelot, and even a group known as the pound puppies. Led by Cooler, who put an end to McNasty's reign." The news lady pointed towards Marvin, making the crew put all the cameras to him. "And there's Marvin right now." The news lady said and moved her mic over to Marvin's face while the camera crew followed her.

"This isn't fair, I am supposed to be your ruler. You will all bow to me someday! Dad, look, are you watching? Are you proud of me now? I am mean, I am cruel, just like you father! I hope you're proud of my efforts father! You all will be at my mercy! The Mcnasty Clans will rise again!" Marvin yelled like crazy. "Yeah, you wouldn't make it past the white house." The cop remarked and threw him to the back of the police truck and shut the doors. With that the police drove Marvin and his henchman away until they were no longer in sight.

Adam goes to check on Cooler, sitting at the back of the ambulance truck as the nurse patches him up. "Hey." Adam greets him. "Hey." Cooler replied back. "You alright?" Adam asked. "Besides the cuts, bruises, and messed up look? No worries." Cooler said. Adam nods in response. "That's good, I'm glad you're okay." Adam said.

"Actually, I'm more glad you and Whopper didn't get hurt out there if I hadn't showed up." Cooler said. "And that's why we needed a leader like you. There can't be a pound puppy without a Cooler." Adam said. Cooler smiles. "It's what we all do, as long as we have each other. The Cooler legacy, and the pound puppy will thrive no matter what." Cooler said.

"You know it man." Adam said. "Adam, Cooler!" Adam and Cooler turn to see its Whopper, and the rest of the gang is behind him. "How ya feeling?" Cooler asked. "Never been better, so was everyone else." Whopper said. "That's good." Adam said. "I knew we could all do it. Right Howler?" Bright eyes said. "Yeah, I guess we did it. Didn't we?" Howler said, showing confidence. "Hold up, has anyone seen-" Beamer was about to bring up something. But there was a scream. "Vicious dog, look out!" One of the news crew yelled. "Nevermind." Beamer said, knowing who it may be.

They rushed to the scene, and saw a familiar bloodhound growling at one of the police and the news crew. "Nose Marie." Reflex said. "She's still under the evil machine's spell." Bright eyes said, filled with worry for Nose. "Can't we just say I love you to her?" Colette's pups suggested. "I dunno darling, will it work?" Colette wondered. "There has to be a way, but how?" Florence said. Cooler sees her in that state, and feels worried.

Then he felt a strong determination within him, at this moment. He realized what he must do. He takes a step forward and approaches her. "Cooler." Whopper tries to help him but Adam stops him. "Wait Whopper, I think he needs this one." Adam said. "But she might hurt him." Whopper said worriedly. "I don't think she won't." Adam said. "What makes you so sure?" Whopper questions him. "Just watch, I believe in him." Adam said.

Cooler slowly walks up to her, and starts a conversation. "Hey Nose Marie, having a bad day?" Cooler asked her, only to get a nibbing response. Though not close enough to get bit. "Nose, what happened back in the woods, and right at the castle? I'm sorry. I was wrong thinking nothing is flawless. But I realized something now, there is a flaw to my leadership. Even when I rush into things without thinking. Getting my friends captured, including you. I should have been the one to fully give you my full story rather than the unfinished one. About myself." Cooler scratches his head while Nose is in her stance. Ready to make any move.

"But I don't plan on leaving you, not here. I promised I would come back for you, and I'm keeping it. Nose, we haven't been saying much about each other. The times we said our feelings, but we haven't been specific enough. I know you really liked me very much. I'm gonna come out by saying this, I feel the same way Nose. In fact, all the time. Both in, and out of the pound." Cooler said.

Meanwhile as Whopper sees what's going on, he starts to get it. "Wait a minute, Cooler and Nose are in love with each other?" Whopper gasped. "Uh, yeah. Duh, I'm surprised you didn't catch this." Adam remarked. "Well what's taking them so long?" Whopper wonders, getting a bit impatient.

"At the campfire, we shared some pretty moments. You, and me at night. Ah yes, it was a beautiful night. And cold too, a bit chilly but you gotta add the weather for-" Cooler goes on only for Whopper to interrupt him. "Just kiss her already." Whopper yells. There's some silence between Cooler and Nose Marie. "Nose Marie…I love you." Cooler locks his lips to hers, and kisses her.

Cooler shares a romantic moment while everyone celebrates as the Police go to investigate the museum as the police lights flash and the sirens echoes in the background, while the news lady continues to give the scoop live on TV.
