PAW Patrol: Blazing Avalanche || FF Book Three

(S3-C1) The Price of Sanity

Scarlet continued to fly her helicopter as the team felt a strange heaviness in the air, as if it was pressing down on them, but they didn't know why. Did it have to do with the fact they were headed to the base of the Paw Patrol to protect it, or was there something more?

"I'm feeling really nervous, team. I don't know why." Zeus said as he felt his vest graze his fur, giving the mastiff a light tingling sensation as he spoke.

"Well it's your first mission, Zeus. We've all been there; and we'll be beside you the entire way. No matter what." Everest said as she shuffled next to the mastiff.

Each pup in the helicopter looked over to Zeus as he smiled lightly, except for Scarlet as she was still focused on flying the team to their destination. The plan was to land near the lookout and walk the rest of the way, unfortunately the lookout didn't have a helipad, which did complicate the process the team had to go through of deciding where to land their helicopter.

"Hurricane is right, Zeus. By the way, have you ever used a parachute before? We'll probably have to parachute down to the ground with the terrain. It's not great for landing a helicopter." Odin said as he thought of something, using his knowledge of this kind of situation as he spoke again.

"Scarlet! I had an idea, we could use the auto pilot and have it hover the helicopter near the lookout, and then all seven of us could parachute out." Odin suggested as Scarlet, while keeping her focus on flying, spoke back to Odin.

"Sounds good Odin, but I have a suggestion. The six of you should go and protect the lookout, I'll stay behind and keep flying the helicopter. If we just leave it hovering, it could be easily shot down and we'd have to get back into the helicopter somehow." Scarlet said as she continued to think for a brief moment.

"I'll provide communication from the air though, which should help with having more information while we're on the battlefield." Scarlet continued as the other six pups nodded, the lookout coming into view as the lookout came into view.

"Get ready to drop, everyone! The enemies attacking the lookout aren't here yet, that means we have a chance to set up." Marshall said as he stood up, sitting on the landing rail on the left side of the helicopter as he did so.

"We're right behind you, Flame. Let's get ready." Snow said as the team did some quick checks on their pup packs and made sure their parachutes were ready to go.

"Scarlet, we're dropping in! Stay safe up here in the sky, and we'll be safe on the ground." Everest said as the helicopter began to hover over the bridge that led to the lookout.

"Stay safe out there, all of you. I'll be  our eyes in the sky." Scarlet said as five of the other Whispers sat  next to Marshall on the landing rail, the helicopter hovering completely  over the Adventure Bay bridge.

"It's go time!" Odin shouted as  the group of six jumped off of the helicopter, falling through the air  right next to the other five Whispers who were being on the ground  during this mission, while the seventh Whisper, Scarlet, continued to  fly her helicopter.

Rain began to pour down as the six pups barked in unison, activating their parachutes as they slowly descended onto the bridge.

"Stay  safe out there, team. I'll be up in the air, when we're done here;  we're heading to Adventure City to end all of this bloodshed." Scarlet  said into her radio as the beagle kept control of her helicopter, all  the while a flash of bright yellow filled the sky and landed down on the  ground near the lookout, setting the grass ablaze as the echoes of  thunder boomed throughout the entire sky.

"Ground team, this is  Scarlet. A lightning bolt struck the grass near the lookout; Flame,  you'll need to put that out." Scarlet informed as the six pups landed on  the bridge and began running towards the lookout, their parachutes  retracting back into their pup packs as they did so.
