They Grow Up Too Fast (Paw Patrol)

The Temple

As the pups make their way inside the temple, they quickly realize it's not what it seemed from the outside. Instead of stone, the interior is made entirely of metal. They soon conclude that this is no temple at all—it's a lab of some sort.

Rocky: "What? This place doesn't look like a temple. It looks more like a lab."

Rubble: "Yeah, it's weird, but kind of cool. Hehe."

Chase: "Alright, guys, stay close. We don't want to fight anyone, but we might have to."

Zuma: "Fighting's kind of fun... but I get it."

The Paw Patrol slowly moves through the lab, passing rooms with frosted glass. Inside, silhouettes of scientists and guards can be seen performing various tasks. Suddenly, they hear distant radio chatter and the sound of footsteps getting closer.

Chase: "Quick, in here."

The pups dash into a storage closet right next to them, staying silent as the guards' footsteps and muffled radio chatter grow louder, then fade into the distance.

Rubble: "It was smelly in there."

The pups giggle quietly at Rubble's comment but quickly refocus and press on toward the main chamber of the lab.

Skye: "Chase, shouldn't we check out some of these rooms? There might be something that could help us figure out what's going on."

Chase: "I know, but we'd risk getting caught, and if anyone alerts Orion, we're done. It's too dangerous, and I can't let anything bad happen to the team. You know—leader things."

Skye rolls her eyes playfully but keeps walking with the group. In the distance, they spot a large door with frosted glass panels that hint at what might be on the other side. Chase approaches the door, inspecting it carefully.

Chase: "Hmm... Rocky, can you figure out how to open this? I think these touchscreens have something to do with it."

Rocky: "Sure thing, Chase. Let me see."

Rocky studies the touchscreen next to the door.

Rocky: "Looks like a two-factor authentication system. We need a code and a password to open it. I might be able to bypass the password, but we'll still need the code."

Chase looks disappointed but quickly comes up with a plan.

Chase: "Alright, pups, it's time for some action."

Zuma: "Finally! Yay!"

The pups gather around, waiting for Chase's instructions.

Chase: "Here's the plan: we'll check every room we passed and find the code. But first, we need to disable their communication system so they can't call for help. I think the rooms are soundproof since we couldn't hear anything outside them. I know I didn't want us to fight, but we don't have a choice this time. Stay together and clear each room as a team. Paw Patrol is on a roll!"

The pups cheer quietly, their spirits high, as they head to the first room. They enter to find scientists staring at them in shock, while a guard immediately springs into action.

Chase: "Arf! Net!"

A net shoots out from Chase's pup pack, ensnaring the guard as the scientists scatter. Other guards in the room rush to engage, but Marshall leaps off a wall, delivering a swift kick to one guard's face.

Marshall: "Pup fu always wins!"

Another guard lunges at Everest, but she dodges expertly and clamps onto his head.

Guard: "Why, you—"

Everest falls backward, pulling the guard down with her and knocking him unconscious.

Everest: "Take a nap on the cold floor!"

The last guard bolts toward a communications box, but Skye swoops in, grabs his helmet, and hurls him aside, leaving him unconscious.

Chase: "There! The first comms box. Marshall, use your water cannon to destroy it!"

Marshall: "Prepare for some water damage! Arf! Water cannon!"

A jet of water shoots out from Marshall's pack, short-circuiting the communications box with a shower of sparks. The pups cheer and quickly move to the next room. After clearing several rooms and destroying all the communication boxes, the lab is left in complete silence, unable to send or receive messages. They retrace their steps and find a broken code in one of the rooms.

Rocky: "Alright, let's try this. Eight, seven, nine, two... it worked! Now, let me handle the password."

Rocky fiddles with the system and, after a few moments, successfully bypasses the password. The door slides open, revealing a massive room filled with barrels and boxes scattered around. A single light shines down from the ceiling onto a chair, its back turned to the Paw Patrol. As the pups cautiously approach the chair, a cage suddenly drops from above, trapping them. They jump in shock and scramble to break free, but to no avail. The chair swivels around slowly, revealing a mysterious figure who stands and begins walking toward them.

Mysterious Figure: "If it isn't the Paw Patrol. I knew I'd catch you eventually. The boss will be pleased."

The voice is eerily familiar, but the pups can't quite place it. The figure steps closer, and the dim light reveals their face.

Chase: "What?! James?!"
