“Please hope they’re okay...” Rubble muttered under his mouth while running. Ryder and the pups tried finding the rest of the pups, but they were never to be seen. 

“Where’d you think they were now, Everest?” Ryder then asked Everest. Everest replied: “I...I don’t know, we just saw them a while ago on the lookout-“ 

“Hey Ryder, pups!!” They then heard a voice coming from behind them. A huge vehicle then arrived before them. It was Mayor Humdinger’s vehicle. 

“Mayor Humdinger...we don’t have time for you right now, we need to- wait...” Ryder then saw a pup coming out from the vehicle. It was Zuma. 

“Zuma!! Where have you been?” Tracker asked Zuma in surprise. “And what were you doing in Mayor Humdinger’s vehicle?” Rubble added. “And where’s Mayor Humdinger?!” Everest asked. 

“Okay guys, chill!! Well, we were sort of fighting Mayor Humdinger and the Kit-Tastrophe crew a while ago...and we did a boom...and bang!! And I went to Foggy Bottom to stop Mayor Humdinger, and boom again...and, well...he had the stolen things from Adventure Bay. I just brought them back here...and then-“ 

“You found us here...?” Tracker then continued. Zuma laughed. “Well, precisely. I was also about to come look for you guys as well, and now here we are.” 

Ryder then asked: “Wait...you fought them all by yourself?” Zuma replied: “Actually, Rocky had helped me too during the fight...he said he had something to do.” 

Ryder nodded then said: “Okay then...now let’s go and help the other pups-" Suddenly, they heard a loud explosion coming from Jake’s Mountain. 

“What was that?!” Rubble was startled by the sound. “An explosion from Jake’s Mountain?!” Everest then looked at the mountain. 

“And furthermore...who on earth could do such a thing?!” Zuma was shocked as well. “I don’t know...but it might be one of the villains were causing trouble on Jake’s Mountain...we better hurry!!” 

They then got in Mayor Humdinger’s vehicle and headed towards Jake’s Mountain.

When they arrived, what they saw was quite shocking... 

“Holy...moly, dude!!” Zuma exclaimed.

A huge crater appeared in front of them. Many trees around the forest were also got burned and destroyed by the huge explosion. Almost the entire forest got demolished. 

“T-The forest...it turned into...” Rubble gulped. “A...piece of...crap.” Tracker added nervously. “Maybe...maybe we can restore the forest...later...could someone...or some villain be...placing a nuke in the forest...?” Rubble asked. “I-I don’t know, but what’s important is, we’ll have to search and investigate what’s going o-“ 

Ryder was cut off when Zuma shouted: “Ryder, pups!! Come and see for yourselves!!” They then ran to Zuma who was standing beside the crater.

“Look...” Zuma pointed. Ryder and the pups then looked at the direction Zuma pointed to. They couldn’t believe at what they saw. 

They then saw The Copycat, laying on the ground, unconscious. “The Copycat?! What’s he doing here...?” Rubble asked. “And someone’s there too...?” Tracker then looked on the other side. 

“It’s...a pup...?” Everest looked closer. She saw a pup on the other side. “No...that’s...” Rubble said. 

“Chase!!” Ryder then looked again, then shouted. They then ran into the crater, heading to the German Shepherd’s side. 

Ryder looked at Chase who was laying down on the ground, unconscious too. He had deep cuts and bruises all around his body. His mighty suit got blown up, and his pup tag also got damaged. “Oh no...” Ryder said in grief. 

“H-He’s in serious condition...we have to send him to Katie’s...” Rubble mumbled. Suddenly, they heard a groan from Chase. “He’s alive...he’s still alive!!” Zuma shouted in excitement. 

Chase then opened his eyes. “Urgh...ow...” He then saw Ryder, Rubble, Zuma, Tracker and Everest were beside him. “R-R-Ryder...pups...? What...are you...?” 

Ryder then hugged Chase and said: “T-Thank goodness that you’re okay...I really thought you’re gone for a moment there...” Chase replied: “Heh...I...won’t die...that...easily...Ryder.” He then winced in pain again. 

“Easy there...Chase, you’re in serious condition and we have to send you for treatment immediately!!” Rubble assured Chase. Chase nodded slowly. “You’re battling against Copycat just now, right Chase?” Zuma asked. Chase nodded again. “Yeah...it’s...a hell...of...a...battle...” 

He suddenly realised something. Chase grunted: “W-Wait...T-The Copy...Cat...!!” He then tried getting up to his paws, but Ryder caught him before he could fall down again. “Don’t worry Chase...he’s knocked out...” Everest then came back and replied to Chase. 

Chase then looked in front of him and he saw The Copycat had collapsed on the ground, motionless. “I...I...won...?” Chase then questioned. 

“Seems like you did.” Rubble replied. “And look...Copycat can’t use his powers anymore.” Ryder then pointed at The Copycat. Chase looked closer, and found out the meteor tooth from The Copycat fell on the ground and got smashed to pieces. “So, I guess you won’t have to worry about The Copycat anymore...and I think he won’t cause havoc in Adventure Bay again.” Everest added. 

Chase smiled weakly. “I...need...to rest.” He then closed his eyes. Ryder then carried Chase up and said: “We’ll be there in no time Chase, hang on!” 

“So...what about Copycat?” Zuma asked, pointing at The Copycat. Ryder sighed and said: “Well, we’ll bring him for treatment too...and later he’ll help clean up this mess.” They then looked at the forest again. 

“I guess that’s it for then...wait, are we missing something?” Tracker asked. “We got Chase, and Rocky’s minding his business over there. Guess that’s left...” Zuma replied. 

“No!! Wait, Marshall and Skye!!” Everest suddenly gasped. “I can’t believe we forgot them!!” Rubble exclaimed. 

“Oh no, they might be in serious trouble right now...we have to help!!” Zuma added. 

“I’ll go send Chase to Katie’s. You pups will have to go help them!” Ryder said. The pups howled, then they brought The Copycat into the vehicle, then quickly headed back to Adventure Bay. 

Meanwhile...Rocky had finished doing his thing. He was seen holding a strange mini light energy sphere on his paw. “Perfect...now I’m finally done here.” He then took out a vial from his pup pack. The energy sphere then turned into dust and went into the small vial. After the dust went in the vial, he then closed it. 

“Sorry for using you kitties for this...but thanks, anyway.” He then went back to the lookout. “I hope this works.”
