Skase: A new age

Chapter 4: Brave

-Ryder POV-

"Where did that wave go?" I asked the other pups and turbot. "Dude the wave like totally vanished" Zuma replied. "I've never seen anything like that before" Turbot said. "Whatever it was I need to contact the lookout to make sure everyone there is okay" I said tapping my pup pad. "Hello? Can anyone hear me? Chase are you there?" Hmm it seems like the wave knocked out my coms too. "I can't get a hold of them" I told the others

"Ryder I think I know what is causing these waves" Zuma said to me. "Whats your theory?" "Well I know how waves work, that wave was definitely not natural. It was man made. I think beyond the horizon is something that is making these waves and we need to check it out now before more damage is caused to adventure bay!" Zuma exclaimed. He is right, whatever it is isn't natural. But we can't leave without telling the pups at the lookout, unless I send a note. "Okay we will go check it out, rubble you ride with Rocky. Zuma you have to ride with me, I'm gonna send a note to the pups at the lookout." I said pulling out a pen and paper. Once I finished I put it in a local mailbox and got back on my ATV. "Alright, paw patrol is on a roll!" The pups howled as we left the shore.

As we drove over the water only to hear a weird sound. It was a slight sound but it sounded like a loud thud. Coming from somewhere around us. And almost instantly a 50 foot wave came and started moving to the bay behind us. But like before it stopped before it reached the shore. Whatever was causing these waves was big. And from the looks of it,

The waves were only getting bigger

-Marshal POV-

"GUYS" Me and Skye heard from on top the lookout, "YOU NEED TO COME UP HERE NOW" Chase yelled, of course in my mind something happened to Ryder so he needed us. Me and Skye made quick work getting up the elevator and onto the top floor. Once we arrived we realized it was a giant mess, there was broken glass, claw marks on the floor, a jester card? And out of everything we saw the one thing we didn't see was Everest.

"Where is Everest?" I asked with only the slightest tone of carelessness. "She was taken, by force" Chase replied. "There is no evidence but the broken glass and this card that was left on the floor" Chase said examining the room. Chase was a natural detective, he was a Shepard after all but his sense of smell was his biggest strength. We all knew if anything went missing to call Chase. But nothing was ever as severe as losing a team member. "What do we do?" I asked. "Well let's start with this card, Chase said looking at it. This is clearly not the work of anyone we know of. Because no matter how much they hate us, they love staying out of jail more." Chase then started sniffing the card, "it's a new scent too" he stated. He then flipped the card over. "It's an address" he said.

"Maybe that's where they are keeping Everest" marshal said looking at Chase. Before I said anything I almost forgot Skye came up with me. I looked at her only to see her face didn't show the slightest ounce of worry.

"Skye?" I asked "Arnt you scared for Everest? I mean she literally got pupnapped!" I said trying to explain the seriousness of the situation. Without a change in emotion she replied "So what? She hurt me in the worst possible way she could've. She destroyed the trust and friendship that we once had. She no longer means anything to me". Me and Chase looked at each other shocked. Did Skye really say that? THE Skye? This can't be. I mean I was definitely hurt over it but even I agree we need to find her.
"Skye..." Chase started "I understand you're hurt. But don't help us find her for you or us. Do it for Jake and Ryder. Please?" Chase asked

-Skye POV-

I still can't believe Everest for what she did, she knows I'm in love with Chase. She knows I've wanted him for all my life. For as long as I can remember all I've ever wanted was to be his. And I'm almost certain that he loves me back. He watches romcoms with nobody else but me, he respects and encourages my interests, hell he even let me take him flying!

But Everest. Tried to take that from me. Knowing that being with him is my dream. I've told her so many times how obsessed with Chase I am, she betrayed me. However I still have to help look for her. FOR RYDER. "What's that? Chase asked. "It's a letter? From Ryder! It says....

-Dear pups, I know we've been out for a while on this mission. But we decided to go check out really quick what we think is causing these waves. Our coms are disabled over here so we can't reach you. If we're not back by morning then track me using the chip I put in the envelope with this letter. Thank you guys and of course. I love you-"

Chase finished reading the letter aloud. "Sounds to me like we have a while to try to find Everest!" Marshal said. "I agree, what about you Skye?" Both of the boys looked at me. Of course I really don't want to go, but I can't let Jake find out his only pup is gone. So I guess I have to help.

"I'm in" I said reluctantly. We all got our gear on and decided to take Chases cruiser as it has stealth mode so we're less likely to be caught by the enemy. We took the address from the card and typed it into the system. Once excepted we were on the road. I got to sit next to Chase which normally would've been great but given the situation I was still not happy. But the smell of Chases fur really calmed me down. We were officially on the move. Once we were about halfway there it getting dark so Chase turning his cruiser into his house which should hold us. Marshal despite being a fire pup created a fire for us. We all sat around the fire telling stories and trying to keep our mind off the situation. And I won't lie I was actually having fun.

"Okay you two" marshal said getting up. "Im sleepy, I'll see yall tomorrow. Try not to stay up too late" he said getting into the back of the house. Now it was just me and Chase. Alone. What a wonderful night. I looked at Chase as he was lying on his back looking at the Sky. "Isnt it beautiful?" I asked lying down next to him. "I've always love the sky. I love the stars, the clouds, how the wind feels in my fur" I said looking at Chase, "You know, I may be a police pup. But I love the sky too, I think my favorite part is watching the sky hoping to see a shooting star" "Why's that?" I ask. "Well, it's because I love to make wishes. Even if they don't come true it still gives me hope." He said turning his head back to the sky. "My favorite part are just the stars in general, I love connecting them with imaginary lines and making something beautiful." I told
Chase

"Can I ask you something Chase?" "Of course Skye", "How do you stay so fearless. So calm in situations like earlier. I mean me and Everest could've torn each other apart. But you never tried to step in between. You spoke calmly to us. And then there was when Everest got pupnapped. You were so calm and showed no fear leading us to where we are now. So how do you do it?"

Chase laughed "Skye, it's quite the simple answer. My family and friends love keeps me calm. Of course I was scared earlier. I'm always scared when a fight happens or even when you're on a mission. I care a lot about you guys. So staying calm and showing no fear is me trying to make sure you guys stay safe. It's as my father used to say to me

Being brave isn't being strong. Being brave is being scared but doing what you need to do anyway.

And what I needed to do was lead you guys here." Chase finished. I always thought Chase to be a fearless leader so hearing how he's scared a lot of the time was new for me. It was shocking to be honest. But I'm glad he trusted me enough to tell me. "Thank you Chase. You really are brave" I said scooting closer to him. "And you Skye, are extraordinary" he said leaning his head on me. We eventually fell asleep thinking the same thing...

I'm going to protect her/him at all costs. No matter the danger
