PAW Patrol: Blazing Avalanche || FF Book Three

(S3-C5) A Dark Plan

"Hey team, I'm back." Chase said as he walked up next to the other pups  and Ryder in one of the many streets of Adventure City, each pup had  their guns drawn as they carefully moved forward, Ryder crouching down  as well to not make any noise.

"Chase what happened? We heard you talking to some other pups." Rocky asked as he aimed down the scope of  his sniper rifle, shooting a drone out of the sky as its red light  flashed at the team.

"I was speaking to Flame and Hurricane, and confirmed that they're Marshall and Everest, our missing teammates. I asked the two of them to come back with me to all of us, but they  declined and said that we'd be far too big of a group for this mission."  Chase said as he cried slightly, he really did miss Marshall and  Everest. But he was now even more determined than before to end this  conflict, no matter what.

The others nodded with frowns on their  faces as the team of six pups and Ryder walked through Adventure City, a  once bustling metropolis that you could actually have fun in, but now  it was reduced to any other war zone because of the Cobalt Order.

Okay  team, we're heading to our Adventure City lookout. Let's focus on that  objective, everything else can come later." Ryder said as the pups  nodded, the visors from their helmets going down as they scanned the  nearby streets for hostile activity. "Rocky keep a close eye out for any  drones. Use an EMP or shoot it down if you spot one." 

"Roger that, Ryder." Rocky replied back as he shot another drone out of the air as it fell to the ground and exploded. 

With that, the Adventure City lookout  slowly got into their view. It appeared to be clear of hostile  activity, which was a relief to the Paw Patrol. With any luck, they  wouldn't have to fight their way into their Adventure City base and  maybe regain communications with Liberty. The team hadn't heard from her  since this whole conflict started, and they were worried about the Dachshund. 

The seven of them walked across the street and towards the  building where their headquarters were located, luckily it seemed safe  enough so they entered. Once inside the base though, the team saw the  sight that greeted them was anything but.  There were bodies everywhere  inside the lookout, and some of those bodies were still moving and  breathing, but the rest weren't. The team didn't know why all of these  bodies were in the lookout of all places, but if they had to guess, they  entered the lookout to seek shelter from the conflict raging in the  rest of Adventure City.

"Holy shit!" Skye muttered under her breath as she looked around,  taking in the scene before her. There was dead dogs, dead soldiers, dead  citizens, blood, gunpowder, everything. She hated it, the smell, the  blood, and most importantly, the lifeless expressions that adorned their  faces. It all made Skye and the others want to puke, but somehow, they  held their composure; if not barely.

"Team, we can't stay at this lookout. We have to regroup with Rebecca and get back on the Air Patroller." Ryder said as the pups nodded, getting ready to head back outside of the base.

The team headed outside of their base as Ryder used his pup pad and got in contact with Robo Dog, telling it to land the Air Patroller near them so the team could recollect their composure in a stressful situation like this.

Once the the Air Patroller landed, they stepped out and got to the plane, and as soon as they did Skye took a step away from the Air Patroller and threw up her breakfast over the edge of the airstrip. That wasn't going anywhere. She couldn't help it, seeing those dead animals, knowing they were just people who died because of the war, it was too much for her.

She felt someone grab her paw and pull her away from the aircraft, she turned around to see who it was and saw it was Ryder. He pulled her into a hug and rubbed her fur comfortingly, trying to calm her down as her other teammates joined them in a group hug.
