Adventure Bay: Five Hours Earlier One evening in Adventure Bay... Ryder was working on his ATV in the Lookout's garage when he suddenly heard the alarm go off for an incoming call. Running upstairs, he saw four calls coming in at the same time. The first one he answered was from Liberty in Adventure City. "This is Ryder. Go ahead, Liberty." "Ryder, I need some heavy assistance here in the city. A fire has broken out in a large hotel where Humdinger is serving his sentence as a steward. According to him, he was paged by the front desk that several power-strips on the third floor got overloaded and began sparking before the power could get turned off. He got out fine and alerted me, but there are still several guests trapped inside. The front doors have collapsed and the fire is trying to jump to other buildings on either side." The next call was from Everest. "Ryder, I need help up here. Two skiers are trapped at the top of the mountain and there is a snowstorm raging. I'm on my own because Jake broke his leg while snowboarding yesterday. The skiers are trapped because the lift has malfunctioned and stopped working." The third call was from Rex. "Ryder, this is Rex. The volcano in my area has erupted violently and lava is coming towards several nests where dinosaurs have their eggs. I need help calming the dinosaurs and keeping the lava away from the eggs." The last call came from Tracker. "Ryder, I am dealing with a potentially toxic problem in the jungle here. There are polluters dumping toxic waste into the main river. Carlos is sick and unable to help me." Ryder was startled by all four of these calls. Without hesitating, he pulled out his data-pad and called the other six pups. They had just finished a late evening game of ball when their tags began to flash. "Ryder needs us.", they all said together. Ryder proceeded to activate the flashing red light atop the Lookout to indicate the emergency was serious. When the pups saw this, they began to run faster. "That can only mean trouble.", Marshall said worriedly. They rushed onto the elevator and got in line to get in uniform. Once they had reached the top, they stepped off and sat down in front of the screen. "PAW Patrol ready for action, Ryder Sir.", said Chase. "Thanks for hurrying, pups. This is possibly going to be the hardest mission we've ever had. Four calls have come in from Liberty, Tracker, Rex, and Everest." "FOUR CALLS AT ONCE?", shrieked the pups together. "First of all, Liberty called in a fire at the hotel where Humdinger is serving his arrest sentence as a steward. He alerted her HIMSELF about what happened. Multiple power-strips on the third floor got overloaded and sparked before the power was cut. Also, the doors have collapsed and trapped guests inside. Marshall, I need you to get inside there and rescue the guests. Show Liberty how to operate your water cannons so she can shoot at the flames. Skye, I need you to tag along and provide aerial support to get water on the roof. Rubble, you must use your tools to prop the door frame up so Marshall can get inside." "I'm fired up.", replied Marshall. "Rubble on the double.", replied Rubble. "Let's take to the sky.", replied Skye. As they set off getting ready, Ryder explained the remaining calls. "Next up, Rex called in a volcanic eruption in his area. The lava is headed towards several dinosaur nests and the dinosaurs are panicking. Zuma, I need you to take your hovercraft and use explosives to divert a river so it stops the lava. Rex will work on calming down the dinosaurs." "Ready, set, get wet!", Zuma crowed. "The third call is from Tracker. He has spotted polluters in his area and they are dumping toxic waste into the river. Carlos would help him, but he's sick right now. Rocky, I need you to help him stop the dumping and then clean up the spill." "Green means go.", said Rocky. "Chase, you and I have the last call. Everest informed me of two skiers trapped at the top of the slopes in the mountains. We need to help her get them out. Jake can't help her because he broke his leg while snowboarding yesterday. You will ride with me since your cruiser isn't yet modified for snowy environments." Chase understood and he followed Ryder down the pole to Ryder's ATV. As they left, Ryder contacted Mayor Goodway about what was happening and to send for help if they were in trouble. He gave her a data-pad that showed the progress of each group's mission. This was equipped with a "CALL" button in case all four groups were downed. After Mayor Goodway acknowledged what Ryder had told her, Ryder and the pups set off on their missions. TroubleIn Adventure City... Firefighters in the area were battling the flames to keep them from jumping to other buildings when the pups arrived at the scene. Marshall deployed the outriggers on his fire truck for stability before raising the ladder. After telling Liberty how to use the water cannons and hose, he gave some heat-resistant clothes to Humdinger. "Rubble will need you to hold up the door frame until he positions the braces properly.", he explained as Humdinger put on the suit. "I can't argue with that, Marshall. I wouldn't be doing my job right if I wasn't helping the guests.", Humdinger replied as he put the gloves on. Marshall attached a water tank to Skye's helicopter and she flew above to smother the flames on the roof. Once Rubble had secured the braces to the doors, which was hard work, he began making his way back to his rig to move it. Unfortunately, he had inhaled smoke while securing the braces and he blacked out. He had also parked too close to the heat and his rig's engine was getting too hot. In an act of kindness, Humdinger grabbed Rubble, placed him in the driver's seat on his rig and then pushed his rig away before it reached the point of blowing up. "Marshall, this is Skye. I need to refill my water tank." "Copy that, Skye. Be careful, because Humdinger said that a serious amount of wind was coming in.", he replied to her. Skye acknowledged and flew for the waterfront. She was able to refill, but her return was jeopardized. As she flew back, she hit turbulence and ended up flying into a jet-stream. Her engine began to stall, but she got it going again. However, she was not fast enough to get the engine running. She was still spinning and was about to crash. To avoid hurting herself, she ejected. What she didn't know was that the spinning had caused her helmet to fall off. She hit her head, which knocked her unconscious, and scraped her front paws on the ground. Her helicopter knocked over Liberty's motorcycle before slamming into a streetlight post. Marshall had just freed the last guest in the hotel when he had to make a run for the doors. He was out of oxygen and had to hold his breath. He ended up tripping over a broom handle and fell on his stomach. A ceiling tile fell on his head and knocked him out before he could stand up again. Outside, Liberty was doing her best to keep the fire contained when a balcony railing broke loose. She scrambled down the ladder to get away, but the railing hit the ladder and sent her flying across the road. She hit her head against the outside of another building and then fell to the ground, breaking all of her legs and passing out. ** In the dinosaur jungle... Zuma got right to work placing the explosives. He set one at the base of a tree and then formed a line that ran to a point in front of the lava flow. Once the explosives were detonated, the water began to flow perpendicular to the lava. Suddenly, Zuma heard a cry for help. "ZUMA!" It was Rex. Zuma turned on his sonar and rushed towards Rex's signal. He soon found him hanging onto a vine for dear life at the river's edge. "What happened, Rex?", Zuma asked. "A mama triceratops accidentally kicked me into the river. She was in too much panic. I struck an exposed tree root first and my wheelchair broke loose. Then I fell into the water. My wheelchair got washed away and I grabbed the vine.", Rex explained nervously. Zuma deployed his life-belt and pulled Rex out of the water. He then started heading for where the dinosaurs had been led, but they were too close to the lava flow for too long. They reached a safe location, but soon passed out from heat exhaustion. ** In the rainforest... As Rocky got close to the forest, his sensors picked up high levels of hazardous chemicals. Putting on a gas mask, he ventured deeper until he found Tracker holding his breath near the ancient ruins. "Put this on, Tracker.", he said as he tossed him another gas mask. Tracker put the mask on and started breathing normally. After climbing into the spare seat in Rocky's garbage truck, he directed Rocky towards the dumpers. "STOP! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL THE PLANTS AND ANIMALS HERE!", they yelled. Instead of stopping, the dumpers pulled out tranquilizers and started shooting at them. Rocky turned around to get away, but the darts pierced his tires and hit him and Tracker in the back. They crashed into a tree after Rocky passed out and lost control. ** In the mountains... Ryder turned his ATV into a snowmobile and he and Chase sped through the snowstorm until they met Everest at Jake's snowboarding resort. After letting them inside for a cup of cocoa, Jake explained that they would only be able to get 80% of the way to the trapped skiers in their vehicles. "Why is that?", asked Chase. "Recently, Jake and I have spotted large cracks opening up in the mountain face. In mountaineering terms, these giant cracks are referred to as crevasses. They are often covered over by snow and hard to notice. The snow over them will not hold the weight of our vehicles. Since the skiers are 400 feet up the mountain, we can only ascend 320 feet on wheels." Not wanting to take chances, Ryder agreed and they headed back out to go up the mountain and free the skiers. Before leaving, he told Jake to watch for a signal flare. This would mean he and the pups were in trouble. After going up 320 feet, they draped snow shields over their vehicles and then Ryder tied 2 ropes to his climbing harness. One rope was tied to Chase and the other was tied to Everest. He also had 2 ice picks to probe the ground for cracks. They reached the summit after 45 minutes of traipsing through the snowstorm. At the top, they spotted the skiers, who were up to their knees in snow. While Ryder and Chase dug them out with snow shovels, Everest examined the lift mechanism to see what caused it to stop. "Ryder, I found the cause of the malfunction. A fuse has blown. There are replacements in the toolbox inside.", she called over the wind. After putting away the snow shovels, Ryder ran inside to grab a replacement fuse while Chase and Everest led the skiers to the lift seats. After Ryder had replaced the fuse, he radioed Jake to restart the lifts. In a flash, the lifts began moving again and the skiers were taken back down to safety. Ryder and the two pups started back down the mountain to get back to their snowmobiles. He made sure to stop every few feet to check for cracks. He easily found two crevasses and led the pups around them, and then they continued on. After 20 more feet, Ryder probed a spot and it felt solid, but it suddenly collapsed under his feet when he stepped onto it. He fell feet first into the snow and realized that his body weight had opened up a crevasse. This one was covered by six inches of snow and one inch of ice. He began trying to stab his ice picks into the snow to catch himself, but it was no use. He soon reached the edge and he couldn't stab anymore. "FALLING!", he screamed to Chase and Everest. "RYDER, NO!", they shrieked upon hearing him. Before the ropes went taut, or tight, they started trying to dig into the snow in hopes of catching him. However, once the ropes went taut, their paws slipped through the powder until they got to the edge and slipped under the snow. Ryder felt the ropes go taut, and then he felt them go slack after a minute. Realizing this meant neither Chase nor Everest was able to catch him, his eyes welled up with tears. They flailed around in hopes of catching a point on the crevasse wall, but Ryder dropped his ice picks and Chase struck one of his paws so hard that he broke his back right leg. After falling 60 feet, they landed softly on a snow-covered ice bridge. More snow fell into the crevasse and covered their legs, trapping them. An hour later, both Chase and Everest had passed out from hypothermia, and Ryder was starting to black out as well. ** Before Ryder had completely passed out from his hypothermia, he shot the flare to alert Jake that he, Chase, and Everest were in trouble. Jake saw the flare and radioed Mayor Goodway to tell her that Ryder, Chase, and Everest were in trouble. Without hesitating, Goodway looked at the data-pad that Ryder gave her and saw that the other pups were in trouble too. Knowing they were all in trouble, she sent out a call for help. Rescue in Adventure CityUpon arriving in the city, Smolder began to smell the smoke from the fire. She led the way to the scene where firefighters were keeping the buildings on either side wet to keep the flames from jumping. Pinkie spotted Liberty, Skye, and Rubble outside, but she did not see Marshall. Sandbar saw someone with the same description that Goodway had used to identify Humdinger. Running over to him, he asked where Marshall was. "He had gone inside to rescue any guests that were trapped. He has not come back out. My guess is that he ran out of breathing oxygen and passed out.", Humdinger replied. Since Yona had a large amount of strength, she had carried medical supplies and two air tanks to the site. Smolder rushed inside the hotel since she was used to hot temperatures. She didn't even need to wear protection. After spotting the red from Marshall's firefighter uniform under three ceiling tiles, she radioed Yona for help getting the ceiling tiles off of him. Yona quickly put on a heat suit and rushed to break the tiles apart. Once Marshall was freed, they looked at his air gauge and confirmed that he was out of oxygen. Yona radioed Sandbar to get an air tank ready as they picked Marshall up and started rushing back out. Once they had gotten out, Pinkie led the firemen inside to put out the flames on the main floor. The fire was finally extinguished 20 minutes after they had arrived. After putting oxygen masks on Marshall and Rubble and bandaging Liberty and Skye, it was time to return to Adventure Bay. Pinkie and Sandbar put the pups in the back of an ambulance that Smolder had driven to get to the city while Yona helped to load the pups' vehicles into a trailer that was later hitched to the ambulance. They soon left the city and made their way to the Harmony so the pups could be placed in the medical bay. Once the four pups were placed in beds, their vehicles were taken to the Lookout to be repaired. Rainforest RescueApplejack and Rainbow knew that they would possibly need to airlift Rocky's garbage truck out of the woods; so they used a helicopter to get there. As soon as they got out, they were hit by the fumes from the toxic waste. Putting on gas masks, they snuck up on the dumpers. Applejack spotted a large tree in a position where it would fall on the dumpers' tanker truck if kicked correctly. She rushed over and kicked as hard as she could. The tree fell down and smashed the front end of the tanker and startled the dumpers. Rainbow kicked them down and then locked them in shackles after closing off the hose valve while Ocellus poured a cleaning fluid in the river to neutralize the toxins. After the tree was moved, Applejack tied a rope to the tanker and dragged it to a clearing for authorities to pick it up while Ocellus helped Rainbow secure a cable to Rocky's truck. Once Rocky and Tracker were strapped in seats on the helicopter, Applejack joined Rainbow and Ocellus and they flew back to the Lookout as officials came to arrest the dumpers. Rocky's truck was placed in its spot for repairs while Rocky and Tracker were taken to the medical area on the Harmony. Jungle RescueOn the way to the jungle, Fluttershy and Rarity discussed what the best way would be to slow down the lava flow. Rarity decided that if vent holes were created on the opposite side, the lava would stop coming towards the nests and go in the other direction instead. Silverstream was put in charge of rescuing Zuma and Rex while Fluttershy calmed down the dinosaurs. After landing their helicopter, Rarity put on a heat suit and headed towards the back side of the volcano to plant charges for making the vent holes. Once the vents had been created, the lava stopped flowing towards the nests and Fluttershy finished calming down the dinosaurs. Silverstream radioed in that she had found the pups. "I have found Zuma and Rex. They are 30 yards behind where the dinosaurs are consolidated. However, a medical scan on Rex indicates he is a paraplegic. He cannot move his back legs. Both of them are dehydrated and have passed out from heat exhaustion." Rarity and Fluttershy acknowledged the call and flew above Silverstream. They dropped a basket and a magnet in order for Silverstream to get both the pups and Zuma's hovercraft out of the woods. She got into the basket herself once the pups were in the basket and Zuma's hovercraft was hooked up to the magnet. Zuma's vehicle was not damaged, so it was taken back to the Lookout while the two pups were taken to the medical wing on the Harmony. Return to EquusAfter getting the medals, Twilight and her crew decided to surprise Ryder and the pups with a vehicle that would allow them to perform rescues in space. It took a while, but they had soon finished the craft. It was absolutely ENORMOUS and had custom cabins for each of the pups, including the "Mighty Twins", and the "Cat Pack". Since the ship was larger than the Paw Patroller, its hangar was constructed underwater. When the ship was finally finished, the hangar doors were opened one night and the ship was raised up on hydraulic jacks to reveal it to everybody. Ryder, the pups, the Cat Pack, and the Mighty Twins were floored when they saw the ship and how large it was. Twilight and her crew were standing on top of the ship when it was raised up. Twilight dropped a large sign to christen the ship as the Space Patroller and Rainbow set off some fireworks to celebrate. Everyone clapped and cheered when they saw how marvelous the ship was. "If we ever need to call you in to help us with a mission, this ship will get you to us. Her main computer is already programmed with the coordinates to our home planet of Equus.", Twilight said as she gave everyone a tour of the ship. Ryder was ecstatic that this was being given to him. He greatly thanked Twilight and her crew for giving them this ship before they boarded the Harmony and took off to return home to Equus. Mountain RescueUpon hearing from her aunt that they were doing a mountain rescue, Flurry quickly started getting some winter gear together and putting it on the helicopter. As they got close to the mountains, they felt the air get colder. After landing near Jake's resort, they put their coats on and talked to Jake about who they were and why they had come. Jake explained what had happened and told them to be careful. Twilight nodded and they started flying upwards towards where Ryder and the pups were. The snowstorm had already stopped before they arrived, so they were able to search much faster. Gallus started looking for openings in the ground and he soon found a large crack in the snow. Shining a light into the crack he looked down with binoculars and he spotted the blue from Chase's uniform. "THEY'RE HERE!", he called. Twilight and Flurry looked up to see him waving from where he had found the crevasse. After rushing over, Twilight set up a winch on an ice-screw. Gallus rappelled into the crevasse and started digging away the snow with his talons. After assessing that all three had moderate hypothermia, Chase had broken his back paw, and Ryder had broken his right hand, he radioed up for a tether line to be dropped. When the line came down, Gallus attached the line to Ryder after unclipping the ropes tied to Chase and Everest. Ryder felt the line pulling up on him and he managed to get his eyes open. In the dim light, he saw Gallus pulling Chase and Everest out of the snow, but he thought he was hallucinating. As he was lifted higher, he passed out again. Gallus flew up and out of the crevasse with Chase and Everest held in his talons once Twilight had said that Ryder was clear. "Let's get them warm before it's too late.", said Flurry. Twilight agreed and they found Ryder and Everest's vehicles under their shields. After using the vehicles to get back to the resort, they loaded Ryder's ATV onto the helicopter and quickly put the three in heated sleeping bags after splinting Chase's paw and Ryder's hand. Then they took off and flew back to the Harmony. Now that Ryder and all of the pups that were involved had been rescued, it was time to get them back in good health. PrologueAfter Celestia and Luna had passed the torch, Twilight decided that Equestria and the lands beyond should be brought into a modern era. Motorized vehicles were built, scientists began exploring space, and many more schools for all species were constructed. ** Five years after modernizing the world, Twilight received a letter from Neighsay that the EEA was being reformed to more than just ponies. Starlight Glimmer took his place as leader and several representatives from around the world took the other seats on the board. Neighsay applied to work as the operator on an orbiting space station that scanned for any emergencies that could approach Equus while his comrades retired. Little does anyone know that Equus is about to get a message from an unexpected place and the Main Six are about to get called out for a tough mission. The CallNeighsay was changing back into his jumpsuit after finishing his E V A to check for any problems with the space station from the last solar flare when an alarm sounded from the PDA on his utility belt. When he looked at the alarm specifications, he raced to the communications room and listened to what was being received by the computer. After listening to the transmission twice, he opened a direct channel to Twilight. "Equestrian Space Station to Canterlot. Princess Twilight, this is Neighsay. Do you read me?" "I hear you loud and clear. What's happening up there?", asked Twilight. "Listen to this transmission. It came in after I had finished my E V A.", he replied. ** "If anybody picks this up, please help us. Eleven emergency responders have gone on missions and I have lost contact with them. They were responding to disasters around the world.", said a female voice. ** Twilight was shocked. "I don't like the sound of that.", she replied. "Me neither. I think you and your friends should respond to this.", said Neighsay. "Any idea where this came from?", Twilight asked. "Good question; I have traced this message to a communications tower on the far side of the galaxy.", said Neighsay. Twilight gathered her friends, the Young Six, and Flurry Heart to explain what they were in for. There were no objections and everyone boarded the new version of the Harmony after Twilight had appointed Cadence to fill in for her in Canterlot. This version of the ship could land on planets and was not required to remain in space. Arrival in Adventure BayWhen Twilight and her friends along with Flurry Heart and the Young Six were seated on board the Harmony, they set coordinates to take them to the origin of the message that Neighsay had intercepted. After firing the warp engines, they reached the planet in only an hour. After landing, they found Mayor Goodway and introduced themselves. "Thank goodness someone picked up my call for help.", she said. "No problem, Mayor. What's going on?", asked Twilight. Mayor Goodway proceeded to explain who Ryder and his pups were and the missions they had been called for that night. Upon hearing the intensity and that Ryder and all ten pups were in trouble, Flurry Heart felt her skin crawl. Twilight formed up with her crew and determined who should go where. "Gallus, you and Flurry will come with me to save Ryder, Chase, and Everest in the mountains. Ocellus, go with Applejack and Rainbow to the rainforest to stop the toxic spill and save Tracker and Rocky. Smolder and Yona, go with Sandbar and Pinkie to the city. Stop that fire and save Liberty, Skye, Rubble, and Marshall. Silverstream, you go with Fluttershy and Rarity to save Rex and Zuma and stop the lava." Everyone agreed and they started preparing the equipment they would need for their rescues. Once everybody was ready, they split up and set off to save the PAW Patrol. RecoveryWhen Ryder woke up again, he was lying on his back in what looked like a hospital bed and Chase was on another bed next to him. Heated blankets had been laid over both of them, Ryder had a splint glove around his right hand, and Chase had his back leg held in traction. With his left hand, Ryder reached out and petted Chase on the head. They both smiled at each other weakly before going back to sleep from the anesthetics that they were receiving through their IV lines. Liberty and Skye were next to each other in another room with their legs held in traction as well. Marshall and Rubble were on oxygen masks for a while due to their smoke inhalation, but they were later just waiting for their friends to recover. Tracker and Rocky were quick to recover from the tranquilizers, but they had severe headaches from crashing into the trees when they were in the rainforest. Zuma was on an IV drip to keep him hydrated and he was also recovering from inhaling gases from the lava. Rex had been taken into surgery. In the operating room, Twilight and Flurry looked at x-rays to see if his hind legs could be restored, and they determined it was feasible if they were careful and extremely precise with their movements. After picking up the scalpel with her aura, Twilight took a deep breath and began the incision. After a few minutes, she got to Rex's backbone and carefully opened it up to access the spinal cord. Once the spinal cord was exposed, Flurry used her magic to figure out which nerves needed to be treated so they would work again. Once the nerves were treated, she used an electrical probe to stimulate the nerves. To her amazement, Rex's back legs were able to move. "Let's close him up.", she whispered to Twilight. After using their magic to instantly heal Rex, they wheeled him into a recovery room. When Rex woke up, he felt something different. He was able to move his back legs. He had not been able to do so until now. When Ryder came to see him after he and Chase were healed, he was shocked as well. Once everyone was back to normal, Twilight and all of her crew members introduced themselves to the PAW Patrol. "Thank you all for saving our lives.", said Ryder. "Rex, the restoration of your hind legs is our gift to you.", said Flurry Heart. Once everyone had gone back outside to Adventure Bay, Ryder got a call from Mayor Goodway. When he heard what she had to say, he turned to Twilight. "Mayor Goodway expects your presence for a special ceremony.", he said. Twilight and her crew were led by Ryder to the Town Hall where Mayor Goodway presented them with medals for their lifesaving skills and for saving Ryder and the pups.
Adventure Bay: Five Hours EarlierAuthor's Note This chapter and the next one will not include any MLP characters. Adventure Bay: Five Hours Earlier One evening in Adventure Bay... Ryder was working on his ATV in the Lookout's garage when he suddenly heard the alarm go off for an incoming call. Running upstairs, he saw four calls coming in at the same time. The first one he answered was from Liberty in Adventure City. "This is Ryder. Go ahead, Liberty." "Ryder, I need some heavy assistance here in the city. A fire has broken out in a large hotel where Humdinger is serving his sentence as a steward. According to him, he was paged by the front desk that several power-strips on the third floor got overloaded and began sparking before the power could get turned off. He got out fine and alerted me, but there are still several guests trapped inside. The front doors have collapsed and the fire is trying to jump to other buildings on either side." The next call was from Everest. "Ryder, I need help up here. Two skiers are trapped at the top of the mountain and there is a snowstorm raging. I'm on my own because Jake broke his leg while snowboarding yesterday. The skiers are trapped because the lift has malfunctioned and stopped working." The third call was from Rex. "Ryder, this is Rex. The volcano in my area has erupted violently and lava is coming towards several nests where dinosaurs have their eggs. I need help calming the dinosaurs and keeping the lava away from the eggs." The last call came from Tracker. "Ryder, I am dealing with a potentially toxic problem in the jungle here. There are polluters dumping toxic waste into the main river. Carlos is sick and unable to help me." Ryder was startled by all four of these calls. Without hesitating, he pulled out his data-pad and called the other six pups. They had just finished a late evening game of ball when their tags began to flash. "Ryder needs us.", they all said together. Ryder proceeded to activate the flashing red light atop the Lookout to indicate the emergency was serious. When the pups saw this, they began to run faster. "That can only mean trouble.", Marshall said worriedly. They rushed onto the elevator and got in line to get in uniform. Once they had reached the top, they stepped off and sat down in front of the screen. "PAW Patrol ready for action, Ryder Sir.", said Chase. "Thanks for hurrying, pups. This is possibly going to be the hardest mission we've ever had. Four calls have come in from Liberty, Tracker, Rex, and Everest." "FOUR CALLS AT ONCE?", shrieked the pups together. "First of all, Liberty called in a fire at the hotel where Humdinger is serving his arrest sentence as a steward. He alerted her HIMSELF about what happened. Multiple power-strips on the third floor got overloaded and sparked before the power was cut. Also, the doors have collapsed and trapped guests inside. Marshall, I need you to get inside there and rescue the guests. Show Liberty how to operate your water cannons so she can shoot at the flames. Skye, I need you to tag along and provide aerial support to get water on the roof. Rubble, you must use your tools to prop the door frame up so Marshall can get inside." "I'm fired up.", replied Marshall. "Rubble on the double.", replied Rubble. "Let's take to the sky.", replied Skye. As they set off getting ready, Ryder explained the remaining calls. "Next up, Rex called in a volcanic eruption in his area. The lava is headed towards several dinosaur nests and the dinosaurs are panicking. Zuma, I need you to take your hovercraft and use explosives to divert a river so it stops the lava. Rex will work on calming down the dinosaurs." "Ready, set, get wet!", Zuma crowed. "The third call is from Tracker. He has spotted polluters in his area and they are dumping toxic waste into the river. Carlos would help him, but he's sick right now. Rocky, I need you to help him stop the dumping and then clean up the spill." "Green means go.", said Rocky. "Chase, you and I have the last call. Everest informed me of two skiers trapped at the top of the slopes in the mountains. We need to help her get them out. Jake can't help her because he broke his leg while snowboarding yesterday. You will ride with me since your cruiser isn't yet modified for snowy environments." Chase understood and he followed Ryder down the pole to Ryder's ATV. As they left, Ryder contacted Mayor Goodway about what was happening and to send for help if they were in trouble. He gave her a data-pad that showed the progress of each group's mission. This was equipped with a "CALL" button in case all four groups were downed. After Mayor Goodway acknowledged what Ryder had told her, Ryder and the pups set off on their missions.
TroubleIn Adventure City... Firefighters in the area were battling the flames to keep them from jumping to other buildings when the pups arrived at the scene. Marshall deployed the outriggers on his fire truck for stability before raising the ladder. After telling Liberty how to use the water cannons and hose, he gave some heat-resistant clothes to Humdinger. "Rubble will need you to hold up the door frame until he positions the braces properly.", he explained as Humdinger put on the suit. "I can't argue with that, Marshall. I wouldn't be doing my job right if I wasn't helping the guests.", Humdinger replied as he put the gloves on. Marshall attached a water tank to Skye's helicopter and she flew above to smother the flames on the roof. Once Rubble had secured the braces to the doors, which was hard work, he began making his way back to his rig to move it. Unfortunately, he had inhaled smoke while securing the braces and he blacked out. He had also parked too close to the heat and his rig's engine was getting too hot. In an act of kindness, Humdinger grabbed Rubble, placed him in the driver's seat on his rig and then pushed his rig away before it reached the point of blowing up. "Marshall, this is Skye. I need to refill my water tank." "Copy that, Skye. Be careful, because Humdinger said that a serious amount of wind was coming in.", he replied to her. Skye acknowledged and flew for the waterfront. She was able to refill, but her return was jeopardized. As she flew back, she hit turbulence and ended up flying into a jet-stream. Her engine began to stall, but she got it going again. However, she was not fast enough to get the engine running. She was still spinning and was about to crash. To avoid hurting herself, she ejected. What she didn't know was that the spinning had caused her helmet to fall off. She hit her head, which knocked her unconscious, and scraped her front paws on the ground. Her helicopter knocked over Liberty's motorcycle before slamming into a streetlight post. Marshall had just freed the last guest in the hotel when he had to make a run for the doors. He was out of oxygen and had to hold his breath. He ended up tripping over a broom handle and fell on his stomach. A ceiling tile fell on his head and knocked him out before he could stand up again. Outside, Liberty was doing her best to keep the fire contained when a balcony railing broke loose. She scrambled down the ladder to get away, but the railing hit the ladder and sent her flying across the road. She hit her head against the outside of another building and then fell to the ground, breaking all of her legs and passing out. ** In the dinosaur jungle... Zuma got right to work placing the explosives. He set one at the base of a tree and then formed a line that ran to a point in front of the lava flow. Once the explosives were detonated, the water began to flow perpendicular to the lava. Suddenly, Zuma heard a cry for help. "ZUMA!" It was Rex. Zuma turned on his sonar and rushed towards Rex's signal. He soon found him hanging onto a vine for dear life at the river's edge. "What happened, Rex?", Zuma asked. "A mama triceratops accidentally kicked me into the river. She was in too much panic. I struck an exposed tree root first and my wheelchair broke loose. Then I fell into the water. My wheelchair got washed away and I grabbed the vine.", Rex explained nervously. Zuma deployed his life-belt and pulled Rex out of the water. He then started heading for where the dinosaurs had been led, but they were too close to the lava flow for too long. They reached a safe location, but soon passed out from heat exhaustion. ** In the rainforest... As Rocky got close to the forest, his sensors picked up high levels of hazardous chemicals. Putting on a gas mask, he ventured deeper until he found Tracker holding his breath near the ancient ruins. "Put this on, Tracker.", he said as he tossed him another gas mask. Tracker put the mask on and started breathing normally. After climbing into the spare seat in Rocky's garbage truck, he directed Rocky towards the dumpers. "STOP! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL THE PLANTS AND ANIMALS HERE!", they yelled. Instead of stopping, the dumpers pulled out tranquilizers and started shooting at them. Rocky turned around to get away, but the darts pierced his tires and hit him and Tracker in the back. They crashed into a tree after Rocky passed out and lost control. ** In the mountains... Ryder turned his ATV into a snowmobile and he and Chase sped through the snowstorm until they met Everest at Jake's snowboarding resort. After letting them inside for a cup of cocoa, Jake explained that they would only be able to get 80% of the way to the trapped skiers in their vehicles. "Why is that?", asked Chase. "Recently, Jake and I have spotted large cracks opening up in the mountain face. In mountaineering terms, these giant cracks are referred to as crevasses. They are often covered over by snow and hard to notice. The snow over them will not hold the weight of our vehicles. Since the skiers are 400 feet up the mountain, we can only ascend 320 feet on wheels." Not wanting to take chances, Ryder agreed and they headed back out to go up the mountain and free the skiers. Before leaving, he told Jake to watch for a signal flare. This would mean he and the pups were in trouble. After going up 320 feet, they draped snow shields over their vehicles and then Ryder tied 2 ropes to his climbing harness. One rope was tied to Chase and the other was tied to Everest. He also had 2 ice picks to probe the ground for cracks. They reached the summit after 45 minutes of traipsing through the snowstorm. At the top, they spotted the skiers, who were up to their knees in snow. While Ryder and Chase dug them out with snow shovels, Everest examined the lift mechanism to see what caused it to stop. "Ryder, I found the cause of the malfunction. A fuse has blown. There are replacements in the toolbox inside.", she called over the wind. After putting away the snow shovels, Ryder ran inside to grab a replacement fuse while Chase and Everest led the skiers to the lift seats. After Ryder had replaced the fuse, he radioed Jake to restart the lifts. In a flash, the lifts began moving again and the skiers were taken back down to safety. Ryder and the two pups started back down the mountain to get back to their snowmobiles. He made sure to stop every few feet to check for cracks. He easily found two crevasses and led the pups around them, and then they continued on. After 20 more feet, Ryder probed a spot and it felt solid, but it suddenly collapsed under his feet when he stepped onto it. He fell feet first into the snow and realized that his body weight had opened up a crevasse. This one was covered by six inches of snow and one inch of ice. He began trying to stab his ice picks into the snow to catch himself, but it was no use. He soon reached the edge and he couldn't stab anymore. "FALLING!", he screamed to Chase and Everest. "RYDER, NO!", they shrieked upon hearing him. Before the ropes went taut, or tight, they started trying to dig into the snow in hopes of catching him. However, once the ropes went taut, their paws slipped through the powder until they got to the edge and slipped under the snow. Ryder felt the ropes go taut, and then he felt them go slack after a minute. Realizing this meant neither Chase nor Everest was able to catch him, his eyes welled up with tears. They flailed around in hopes of catching a point on the crevasse wall, but Ryder dropped his ice picks and Chase struck one of his paws so hard that he broke his back right leg. After falling 60 feet, they landed softly on a snow-covered ice bridge. More snow fell into the crevasse and covered their legs, trapping them. An hour later, both Chase and Everest had passed out from hypothermia, and Ryder was starting to black out as well. ** Before Ryder had completely passed out from his hypothermia, he shot the flare to alert Jake that he, Chase, and Everest were in trouble. Jake saw the flare and radioed Mayor Goodway to tell her that Ryder, Chase, and Everest were in trouble. Without hesitating, Goodway looked at the data-pad that Ryder gave her and saw that the other pups were in trouble too. Knowing they were all in trouble, she sent out a call for help.
Rescue in Adventure CityUpon arriving in the city, Smolder began to smell the smoke from the fire. She led the way to the scene where firefighters were keeping the buildings on either side wet to keep the flames from jumping. Pinkie spotted Liberty, Skye, and Rubble outside, but she did not see Marshall. Sandbar saw someone with the same description that Goodway had used to identify Humdinger. Running over to him, he asked where Marshall was. "He had gone inside to rescue any guests that were trapped. He has not come back out. My guess is that he ran out of breathing oxygen and passed out.", Humdinger replied. Since Yona had a large amount of strength, she had carried medical supplies and two air tanks to the site. Smolder rushed inside the hotel since she was used to hot temperatures. She didn't even need to wear protection. After spotting the red from Marshall's firefighter uniform under three ceiling tiles, she radioed Yona for help getting the ceiling tiles off of him. Yona quickly put on a heat suit and rushed to break the tiles apart. Once Marshall was freed, they looked at his air gauge and confirmed that he was out of oxygen. Yona radioed Sandbar to get an air tank ready as they picked Marshall up and started rushing back out. Once they had gotten out, Pinkie led the firemen inside to put out the flames on the main floor. The fire was finally extinguished 20 minutes after they had arrived. After putting oxygen masks on Marshall and Rubble and bandaging Liberty and Skye, it was time to return to Adventure Bay. Pinkie and Sandbar put the pups in the back of an ambulance that Smolder had driven to get to the city while Yona helped to load the pups' vehicles into a trailer that was later hitched to the ambulance. They soon left the city and made their way to the Harmony so the pups could be placed in the medical bay. Once the four pups were placed in beds, their vehicles were taken to the Lookout to be repaired.
Rainforest RescueApplejack and Rainbow knew that they would possibly need to airlift Rocky's garbage truck out of the woods; so they used a helicopter to get there. As soon as they got out, they were hit by the fumes from the toxic waste. Putting on gas masks, they snuck up on the dumpers. Applejack spotted a large tree in a position where it would fall on the dumpers' tanker truck if kicked correctly. She rushed over and kicked as hard as she could. The tree fell down and smashed the front end of the tanker and startled the dumpers. Rainbow kicked them down and then locked them in shackles after closing off the hose valve while Ocellus poured a cleaning fluid in the river to neutralize the toxins. After the tree was moved, Applejack tied a rope to the tanker and dragged it to a clearing for authorities to pick it up while Ocellus helped Rainbow secure a cable to Rocky's truck. Once Rocky and Tracker were strapped in seats on the helicopter, Applejack joined Rainbow and Ocellus and they flew back to the Lookout as officials came to arrest the dumpers. Rocky's truck was placed in its spot for repairs while Rocky and Tracker were taken to the medical area on the Harmony.
Jungle RescueOn the way to the jungle, Fluttershy and Rarity discussed what the best way would be to slow down the lava flow. Rarity decided that if vent holes were created on the opposite side, the lava would stop coming towards the nests and go in the other direction instead. Silverstream was put in charge of rescuing Zuma and Rex while Fluttershy calmed down the dinosaurs. After landing their helicopter, Rarity put on a heat suit and headed towards the back side of the volcano to plant charges for making the vent holes. Once the vents had been created, the lava stopped flowing towards the nests and Fluttershy finished calming down the dinosaurs. Silverstream radioed in that she had found the pups. "I have found Zuma and Rex. They are 30 yards behind where the dinosaurs are consolidated. However, a medical scan on Rex indicates he is a paraplegic. He cannot move his back legs. Both of them are dehydrated and have passed out from heat exhaustion." Rarity and Fluttershy acknowledged the call and flew above Silverstream. They dropped a basket and a magnet in order for Silverstream to get both the pups and Zuma's hovercraft out of the woods. She got into the basket herself once the pups were in the basket and Zuma's hovercraft was hooked up to the magnet. Zuma's vehicle was not damaged, so it was taken back to the Lookout while the two pups were taken to the medical wing on the Harmony.
Return to EquusAfter getting the medals, Twilight and her crew decided to surprise Ryder and the pups with a vehicle that would allow them to perform rescues in space. It took a while, but they had soon finished the craft. It was absolutely ENORMOUS and had custom cabins for each of the pups, including the "Mighty Twins", and the "Cat Pack". Since the ship was larger than the Paw Patroller, its hangar was constructed underwater. When the ship was finally finished, the hangar doors were opened one night and the ship was raised up on hydraulic jacks to reveal it to everybody. Ryder, the pups, the Cat Pack, and the Mighty Twins were floored when they saw the ship and how large it was. Twilight and her crew were standing on top of the ship when it was raised up. Twilight dropped a large sign to christen the ship as the Space Patroller and Rainbow set off some fireworks to celebrate. Everyone clapped and cheered when they saw how marvelous the ship was. "If we ever need to call you in to help us with a mission, this ship will get you to us. Her main computer is already programmed with the coordinates to our home planet of Equus.", Twilight said as she gave everyone a tour of the ship. Ryder was ecstatic that this was being given to him. He greatly thanked Twilight and her crew for giving them this ship before they boarded the Harmony and took off to return home to Equus.
Mountain RescueUpon hearing from her aunt that they were doing a mountain rescue, Flurry quickly started getting some winter gear together and putting it on the helicopter. As they got close to the mountains, they felt the air get colder. After landing near Jake's resort, they put their coats on and talked to Jake about who they were and why they had come. Jake explained what had happened and told them to be careful. Twilight nodded and they started flying upwards towards where Ryder and the pups were. The snowstorm had already stopped before they arrived, so they were able to search much faster. Gallus started looking for openings in the ground and he soon found a large crack in the snow. Shining a light into the crack he looked down with binoculars and he spotted the blue from Chase's uniform. "THEY'RE HERE!", he called. Twilight and Flurry looked up to see him waving from where he had found the crevasse. After rushing over, Twilight set up a winch on an ice-screw. Gallus rappelled into the crevasse and started digging away the snow with his talons. After assessing that all three had moderate hypothermia, Chase had broken his back paw, and Ryder had broken his right hand, he radioed up for a tether line to be dropped. When the line came down, Gallus attached the line to Ryder after unclipping the ropes tied to Chase and Everest. Ryder felt the line pulling up on him and he managed to get his eyes open. In the dim light, he saw Gallus pulling Chase and Everest out of the snow, but he thought he was hallucinating. As he was lifted higher, he passed out again. Gallus flew up and out of the crevasse with Chase and Everest held in his talons once Twilight had said that Ryder was clear. "Let's get them warm before it's too late.", said Flurry. Twilight agreed and they found Ryder and Everest's vehicles under their shields. After using the vehicles to get back to the resort, they loaded Ryder's ATV onto the helicopter and quickly put the three in heated sleeping bags after splinting Chase's paw and Ryder's hand. Then they took off and flew back to the Harmony. Now that Ryder and all of the pups that were involved had been rescued, it was time to get them back in good health.
PrologueAfter Celestia and Luna had passed the torch, Twilight decided that Equestria and the lands beyond should be brought into a modern era. Motorized vehicles were built, scientists began exploring space, and many more schools for all species were constructed. ** Five years after modernizing the world, Twilight received a letter from Neighsay that the EEA was being reformed to more than just ponies. Starlight Glimmer took his place as leader and several representatives from around the world took the other seats on the board. Neighsay applied to work as the operator on an orbiting space station that scanned for any emergencies that could approach Equus while his comrades retired. Little does anyone know that Equus is about to get a message from an unexpected place and the Main Six are about to get called out for a tough mission.
The CallNeighsay was changing back into his jumpsuit after finishing his E V A to check for any problems with the space station from the last solar flare when an alarm sounded from the PDA on his utility belt. When he looked at the alarm specifications, he raced to the communications room and listened to what was being received by the computer. After listening to the transmission twice, he opened a direct channel to Twilight. "Equestrian Space Station to Canterlot. Princess Twilight, this is Neighsay. Do you read me?" "I hear you loud and clear. What's happening up there?", asked Twilight. "Listen to this transmission. It came in after I had finished my E V A.", he replied. ** "If anybody picks this up, please help us. Eleven emergency responders have gone on missions and I have lost contact with them. They were responding to disasters around the world.", said a female voice. ** Twilight was shocked. "I don't like the sound of that.", she replied. "Me neither. I think you and your friends should respond to this.", said Neighsay. "Any idea where this came from?", Twilight asked. "Good question; I have traced this message to a communications tower on the far side of the galaxy.", said Neighsay. Twilight gathered her friends, the Young Six, and Flurry Heart to explain what they were in for. There were no objections and everyone boarded the new version of the Harmony after Twilight had appointed Cadence to fill in for her in Canterlot. This version of the ship could land on planets and was not required to remain in space.
Arrival in Adventure BayWhen Twilight and her friends along with Flurry Heart and the Young Six were seated on board the Harmony, they set coordinates to take them to the origin of the message that Neighsay had intercepted. After firing the warp engines, they reached the planet in only an hour. After landing, they found Mayor Goodway and introduced themselves. "Thank goodness someone picked up my call for help.", she said. "No problem, Mayor. What's going on?", asked Twilight. Mayor Goodway proceeded to explain who Ryder and his pups were and the missions they had been called for that night. Upon hearing the intensity and that Ryder and all ten pups were in trouble, Flurry Heart felt her skin crawl. Twilight formed up with her crew and determined who should go where. "Gallus, you and Flurry will come with me to save Ryder, Chase, and Everest in the mountains. Ocellus, go with Applejack and Rainbow to the rainforest to stop the toxic spill and save Tracker and Rocky. Smolder and Yona, go with Sandbar and Pinkie to the city. Stop that fire and save Liberty, Skye, Rubble, and Marshall. Silverstream, you go with Fluttershy and Rarity to save Rex and Zuma and stop the lava." Everyone agreed and they started preparing the equipment they would need for their rescues. Once everybody was ready, they split up and set off to save the PAW Patrol.
RecoveryWhen Ryder woke up again, he was lying on his back in what looked like a hospital bed and Chase was on another bed next to him. Heated blankets had been laid over both of them, Ryder had a splint glove around his right hand, and Chase had his back leg held in traction. With his left hand, Ryder reached out and petted Chase on the head. They both smiled at each other weakly before going back to sleep from the anesthetics that they were receiving through their IV lines. Liberty and Skye were next to each other in another room with their legs held in traction as well. Marshall and Rubble were on oxygen masks for a while due to their smoke inhalation, but they were later just waiting for their friends to recover. Tracker and Rocky were quick to recover from the tranquilizers, but they had severe headaches from crashing into the trees when they were in the rainforest. Zuma was on an IV drip to keep him hydrated and he was also recovering from inhaling gases from the lava. Rex had been taken into surgery. In the operating room, Twilight and Flurry looked at x-rays to see if his hind legs could be restored, and they determined it was feasible if they were careful and extremely precise with their movements. After picking up the scalpel with her aura, Twilight took a deep breath and began the incision. After a few minutes, she got to Rex's backbone and carefully opened it up to access the spinal cord. Once the spinal cord was exposed, Flurry used her magic to figure out which nerves needed to be treated so they would work again. Once the nerves were treated, she used an electrical probe to stimulate the nerves. To her amazement, Rex's back legs were able to move. "Let's close him up.", she whispered to Twilight. After using their magic to instantly heal Rex, they wheeled him into a recovery room. When Rex woke up, he felt something different. He was able to move his back legs. He had not been able to do so until now. When Ryder came to see him after he and Chase were healed, he was shocked as well. Once everyone was back to normal, Twilight and all of her crew members introduced themselves to the PAW Patrol. "Thank you all for saving our lives.", said Ryder. "Rex, the restoration of your hind legs is our gift to you.", said Flurry Heart. Once everyone had gone back outside to Adventure Bay, Ryder got a call from Mayor Goodway. When he heard what she had to say, he turned to Twilight. "Mayor Goodway expects your presence for a special ceremony.", he said. Twilight and her crew were led by Ryder to the Town Hall where Mayor Goodway presented them with medals for their lifesaving skills and for saving Ryder and the pups.
