At the base, everyone was eating supper when the emergency siren began to blare. They all jumped out of their chairs and Twilight ran to answer the alarm. Mickey and his friends had never heard the siren go off, so they covered their ears at how loud it was.

"IS THIS A FIRE DRILL?", Mickey asked loudly.

Once Twilight had stopped the alarm, she explained the alarm while Flurry Heart opened a communication channel that Neighsay had established on the "Priority-One" frequency.

"That alarm tells us that there is a sudden emergency that we need to respond to right away."

Once Flurry had secured the channel, everyone gathered at the screen.

"What's so sudden that you had to utilize the "Priority-One" frequency?", Flurry asked.

"I spotted a capsule coming towards Equus and I retrieved it through E V A. The contents were startling. The entire PAW Patrol has been captured.", he said frantically.

"WHAT, HOW?", asked Minnie in an alarmed voice.

"Here's the footage from the disc I found in the capsule. Take a look.", said Neighsay as he switched over to the recording on the disc.

"ALLY FORCES, THIS IS RYDER! WE NEED HELP, NOW! THE CALL WE RECEIVED ABOUT THE DAMAGED SPACE STATION WAS REAL, BUT IT WAS USED AS A LURE TO ENSNARE US IN A TRAP! FORMER MAYOR HUMDINGER HAS BUILT HIS OWN SPACE STATION AND DISABLED OUR SHIPS! WE DID NOT KNOW WE WERE CAPTURED UNTIL WE WOKE UP AFTER HE PULLED US ON BOARD WITH A TRACTOR BEAM. COME TO OUR AID AT STAR COORDINATES X: 44, Y: 62, Z: 79 AS SOON AS YOU GET THIS CALL! HURRY!", cried Ryder in a panicked voice.

"How is that possible? He told us last year that Humdinger was released on parole. If the parole officer noticed anything suspicious, it would have been reported.", asked Twilight out of confusion when the footage ended.

"I don't know how it was possible. Whatever the reason, you need to get there and stop him before it's too late. There's no knowing what he is planning.", Neighsay replied nervously.

"Acknowledged, we are on our way.", said Mickey.

"That's the spirit, Mickey. Let's get suited up and get going.", said Twilight.

In only 12 minutes, everyone was in their space suits, on-board their personal ships and taking off. After setting the star coordinates, they set warp drive to maximum and shot towards the station. Arriving in range, they raised their shields and armed all of their weapons to prepare for their attack.
