"It won't matter if she's alive," The Copycat said. "I will finish this myself."

Chase looked down at the unconscious woman in his arms. The Copycat had gone too far. First, Rubble got hurt fighting them, and now The Copycat hurt Skye to the point where he didn't know if she was alive or not. Something inside of Chase snapped. A growl rumbled in his throat as he looked up at The Copycat. "This ends now!" Chase yelled. He put Skye on the ground and ran in superspeed up the side of a nearby building. Chase passed The Copycat's level and kept climbing to the top. He jumped off the roof and dived straight to The Copycat.

The Copycat smiled as he raised his hands around him. He was about to send a tank to intercept Chase when his arms got cold and heavy. The Copycat looked at his arms and noticed they were covered in ice. He turned to the others and noticed Everest and Zuma joining them. Rocky got a metal light post using his magnetic post and bent it around The Copycat, holding him in place. Chase crashed into The Copycat like a bolt of blue lightning. The impact struck The Copycat out of the air and into the ground in the center of a crater. Marshall shot a fire column into the crater, melting the asphalt around The Copycat.

"That won't hold him long," Marshall said.

They all turned to Ryder. "What's the plan, Ryder, sir?" Chase asked. Small electric bolts coursed throughout his body every so often. The hands of the team glowed brightly in the colors accordingly.

"What it always is," Ryder said. "We'll do it together. If we can prevent The Copycat from using his abilities, it will neutralize him enough to take him out." Ryder looked over at Skye, who was still unconscious while leaning up against a tank. "I'll watch over Skye since you are the only ones with powers. It's up to you to stop it."

"We will give it our all, Ryder," Marshall expressed. The others agreed.

The asphalt in the crater erupted, sending debris everywhere. The Copycat rose off the ground. "You won't be doing that again."

"Go," Ryder said. The Paw Patrol nodded and ran off.

"Do you honestly think you can stop me?!" The Copycat asked. "I am more powerful than you in every way. You are nothing!" The Copycat extended his hands, shooting fire columns down at the team.

As the flames got closer, Marshall stepped forward. He raised his palms, sensing the fire and heat racing towards them. Marshall willed the fire towards him. He sucked the fire columns into his body like a powerful vacuum. He braced for the fire, which didn't stop coming.

"Everest, Zuma, build a ramp aimed at The Copycat for Rubble," Ryder yelled.

Everest formed an ice ramp aimed up with Zuma's help. They fortified it and made it wide. "Ready," they said in unison.

Rubble turned into a bulldog and rolled into an energy ball. He went back three hundred feet to give himself enough momentum. He launched off the ramp and into The Copycat through the firewall, pushing him into the tower.

As the Copycat's fire source dissipated, Marshall absorbed the remaining flames. Marshall fell to his knees, breathing heavily. Everest rushed over to his side. "Marshall, are you..." She put her hand on his shoulder but instantly retracted it. Marshall's shoulder felt as hot as a black car hood on a summer day.

"Careful," Marshall said, slowly standing up. "I just absorbed a lot of fire."

Everest over at The Copycat was getting out of the tower's side. "Wanna aim it somewhere?"

Marshall smiled as he realized what Everest meant. "Let's do it." They both turned towards The Copycat, now flying fast towards them. Marshall and Everest raised their arms close together, forming an ice and fire funnel darting toward the villains. The blast sent The Copycat through the tower and out the other side.
