Chapter 1
Chase’s POV.
I am so excited I get to be in Forged In Fire. I live in Las Vegas and I have my own house and small forge on the outskirts of the city. I called my old friends Rubble and Skye who are married. It turns out they both are going to be in the same rounds as me. I packed some stuff and got a flight up to New York City and this is the second time I’ve been in the city. I got in the hotel I am staying at and I got to my room. I got comfortable in my room and watched TV. Then I heard a knock on my door so I rushed to it. I opened it and saw Rubble and Skye smiling. “Hi guys come in.” I say. Then I noticed Rubble had a box wrapped up and I smiled. I closed the door once they got in and they sat on the couch. Rubble handed me the box and I smiled. “Here’s a little gift me and Skye got for you.” He said. I opened it and it was a framed picture of me and the Paw Patrol in front of the Adventure Bay City Hall. “Thanks so much.” I say. I put it on the TV stand and they get up. “Now we have to tell you that we are in 2 years moving back to Adventure Bay and so are Marshall, Rocky, and Zuma. So we are wondering if you want to come back with us?” He asked. “Sure but let’s talk about that after our competition.” I say. They nodded and walked out.
Chapter 2
Chase’s POV.
I walked down to the lobby and outside. I called a taxi and asked him to take me to a car company I have been told has wonderful cheap classics. I can’t go over $50,000 because I won’t have any money left. I was dropped off at the place called “Gullwing Moter Cars” and I walked inside. I walked to the front desk and there is a person sitting there. “Escuse me but what can I get that looks cool and is under $50,000?” I ask. “Follow me we have a bunch of cars.” He said. I walked with the person out to the back and I saw a Ferrari. “How much for the Ferrari?” I ask. “That car is $49,500.” He responded. “I’ll buy that I don’t need to look at anymore cars.” I say. We went to the desk and I paid the cash amount and he handed me the keys. It is a 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS. I walked out back and I got in the car. It is nice and I started it up. I drove out and the car runs good for 50K. I took it to a good mechanic shop and had it checked up. And it turns out I had to replace some parts but I could afford it. I had them replace the broken parts and I paid the money. I drove out and back to the hotel. I parked in the hotel parking lot and locked the car. I walked to the lobby and looked around. I saw Rubble watching the TV and I walked up to him. “Hi Rubble.” I say. He looked back and saw me and smiled. “Hey Chase.” He said. “So what are you doing here without Skye?” I ask. “Skye is in the room and I just came down here just because.” He explained. “Well you want to go for a drive with me around the city?” I ask. “Sure what car do you have?” He asked. “You’ll see.” I say smiling. We walked to the parking lot and we were getting close to my Ferrari. “Wow check out that Ferrari. It’s so cool.” He said. I smiled and walked to the driver side door and unlocked it. I got in and Rubble looked confused. “Get in.” I say. “You own that Ferrari?” He asked. “Yup it’s mine and get in.” I say.
Chapter 3
Chase’s POV.
Rubble got in excited and shut the door. “I always wanted to be in a Ferrari.” He says. I giggle and start it up. “Hey Chase can you take me to the place where you got this?” He asked. “Of course it’s not that far away but how much money do you have?” I ask. “I have $75,000 that should be enough hopefully.” He said. I drove to Gullwing Moter Cars and once we got their I parked outside. We walked inside and Rubble walked up to the desk. He was given a list and I looked at it. The list said “1939 Alder Trumpf Junior: $29,500, 1967 Jaguar 3.8 S-Type: $12,500, 1968 Jaguar XKE: $26,500, 1971 Porsche 911T: $27,500, 1998 Mercedes-Benz G320: $32,500, 1967 Lancia Fulvia: $36,500, 1975 Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera: $39,500, 1968 Mercedes-Benz 250SL: $46,500, 2001 Ferrari 456 GTA: $56,500” and I was surprised they didn’t give me that before. We walked outside and all the cars were lined up. Then he brung out his phone and I saw him FaceTime Skye. “Hi Rubble where are you?” She asked. “I’m at a car dealership with Chase and I am planning on getting us a car of our own.” He responded. “Let me see the choices. They can’t be that good.” She said. He smiled and flipped the camera and she gasped. “You can cancel out that extremely old car, and the Blue Lancia I hate that color.” She said. She looked at the cars through the camera and smiled. “My choices are the Mercedes wagon or the Ferrari.” She said. “Well the Ferrari is $56,500 and the Mercedes is $32,500.” Rubble said. “Well does the Ferrari have back seats?” She asked. “Yes look inside.” Rubble said. He moved the camera to the window of the Ferrari and Skye smiled. “That’s the car.” She said. “Ok I’ll make it ours I’ll come back in it so we can go for a drive alone with Chase.” Rubble said.
Chapter 4
Chase’s POV.
Rubble went inside and a few minutes later came back with the keys. We got in it and he started it up. He drove out front and dropped me off at my car. I started it up and it sounded just as good as Rubble’s. I drove it out and Rubble was right behind me. Then I got a call and it was from the Forged in Fire judges. After a short call me and Rubble drove to the hotel fast and a Rubble picked up Skye. Then we drove fast to Brooklyn were the Forged in Fire studio is. We parked and walked inside. There was another pup that is going to be in the rounds too. We all walked into the main room and saw Wil Willis, David Baker, J. Neilson, and my favorite Doug Marcaida. “Gentlemen and Ladies welcome to Forged In Fire. Now in three rounds you will make the best blades you can and three of you will go onto the next and one of you will go home.” Wil said. “Now in this first round you’ll see on your work stations are two stacks of high carbon, high quality steel. The red is 15n20, the yellow 1095. Now you have to combine those two into some kind of Damascus pattern. This is to find out our perimeters. Your Tang must be a Through Threaded Tang. Remember in the second round you will attach handles to those blades to make them fully functional. Good luck competitors your 3 hour forge time begins...now.” Wil said.
Chapter 5
Chase’s POV.
We all start working once Wil said “now” and I am making good progress. It has been 30 minutes already and I have the two medals already together. I started hammering my shape and I am doing a traditional survival knife structure. I hammered for a hour and 25 minutes and I am ready for the Quench. I got my blade heated up and put it in. After a few seconds I pulled it out and scrapped it with a file. The blade was hard and I looked at the Tang and It met the exact specifications. With a hour to go I started grinding the blade. With 5 seconds left I finished my blade and it was perfect. “3...2...1...and Blade smiths stop your machines.” Wil said. I watched as the other’s turned their machines off and we lined up in front of the judges. “Alright Blade Smiths your 3 hours is up and you have picked and made your Damascus pattern blade and now will present it to our judges. Chase your up first, please present your blade to the judges.” Wil said. I walked up to the Judges Table and set my blade on the table. J. Looked it over first. “Chase I love the Damascus pattern you have on here and everything is perfect on it well done.” He said. Then David looked at it and said almost the same thing then it is Doug’s turn to look at it. “Chase I love the balance your blade has and the edge is sharp. I can’t wait to see it in the next round.” He said. “Thank you so much.” I say smiling. Then everyone else’s blades got checked Individually.
Chapter 6
Chase’s POV.
All the judges finished with the rest of the blades and they discussed the looser that’s going home. “The judges have made their final decision and the pup that is going home is...Skye. Your blade did not make the cut and Doug will explain why.” Wil said. “Skye your Tang was not in the specifications we had and you had some chips and a Warp in your blade. So for that reason we’re sending you home.” Doug said. Me and Rubble sighed as Skye shook everyone’s hands and paws. “Go back to the car and wait for me I’ll be out soon.” Rubble said to her. She kissed him quickly and walked out. “Congratulations you three are making it into the next round were you are putting handles on your Damascus blades.” Wil said. We nodded and walked out and back to our cars. Skye was crying in Rubble’s and her car and I felt bad. Me and Rubble walked up to her and she looked at us. “Skye what’s wrong?” I ask. “I wanted to get further than what I did and I trained so hard.” She said crying. “Tell you what I’ll take you both to lunch and I’ll pay for it.” I say. “You don’t have to.” Rubble said. “No I’ll do it for Skye because she lost and you because your my friend.” I say. I walked to my car and took the small top part off. I put it in the vinyl cover behind the seats and then got in my car and started it up. Then Rubble pulled up in his car and put the top down. “Follow me to the restaurant.” I say.
Chapter 7
Chase’s POV.
We made it to a nearby Longhorn Steakhouse and went inside. “We both love some steak.” Skye said. “I know that’s why your here.” I say smiling. We walked inside and sat at a table. A hour later we finished our meal and ordered desert. I got a Strawberry Shortcake, Skye and Rubble both got the Molten Lava cake. A bit later we got our deserts and we started eating them. After we ate our desert I paid the bill and we walked out happy. “Ok back to the hotel.” Skye said. “Now it’s time to relax at the hotel.” Rubble said. “And relax getting there.” I say. “Yeah thanks for showing us the dealership Chase, this is our first car we have bought because we used to just drive around in my moms car.” Skye said. “No problem and this is my first car ever.” I say. “You never had a car before that?” Rubble asked. “No I didn’t make a lot of money so I just used Taxi’s.” I say. “Well you got a great first car.” Skye said. I nodded and we got in our cars and Thunder was heard. Then it started sprinkling and Rubble out his top up on his car. I rushed out of my car and took the top out of the back of the seats and put it on. I did it within 30 seconds because immediately after it started raining. Thankfully Rubble got his up a bit faster than mine so he didn’t get wet at all. I got in my car and giggled. We drive back to the hotel and parked next to each other. We went inside the hotel and went to our rooms.
Chapter 8
Chase’s POV.
The next day we woke up early excited for the second round of Forged in Fire. Well apart from Skye but she will be in the room watching TV. Me and Rubble went to our cars and I turned my radio on. I turned it to a station and one of my favorite shows intro song is playing. It is Jessica and used in the British Top Gear. We drove to the Studio and parked and went inside. We made it to the main room and the Judges were there and so was the other pup. We lined up and Will looked at us. “Congratulations Blade smiths you have made it to the second round of this competition. Now that your blades have been Tempered it’s time to turn them into fully functional weapons by putting handles on them. However you must include a hidden lanyard hole for your design. Good luck Blade smiths your 3 hours starts...now.” Wil explained. We started working once we heard “now” and I looked at my blade. I started working on the hidden hole and I think I can do this easily. I drilled a small hole in the back on my handle and it didn’t look right without a guard. I created a small guard for my handle and I could hear the judges talking to each other about me and what I’m doing. I smiled and kept working on my guard handle. With a hour left I finished the guard and have my handle shaped out.
Chapter 9
Chase’s POV.
With 20 minutes to go I have finished my guard shape and just put it on my knife. I put a lanyard through the hole. Thankfully I got a extra lanyard yesterday, the lanyard is a Rainbow flag one because I love it. Then with 30 seconds to go I fully finished and my knife looks amazing. “Blade smiths drop your tools your 3 hours is up.” Wil said. We grabbed our knifes and lined up. Then Doug walked to the middle of the room about 10 feet in front of us. “Blade smiths welcome to the kill test. To test how deadly your weapons are I will slash this ballistics dummy. Rubble your up first ready?” Doug asked. “I sure am.” Rubble said. Doug picked up Rubble’s knife and started slashing the ballistic dummy in front of him. After a few slashes the dummy was destroyed and Doug walked back in front of us. “Rubble your blade is very sharp and your handle fits my hand. And your blade will kill.” He said smiling. “Steve your up, Ready?” Doug asked the other pup next to me. “I sure am swing it good.” The pup said. Doug grabbed the blade and started slashing a new ballistic dummy. 2 slashes in Doug went for the third and once the blade hit the inside of the dummy. There was a loud snap and the blade came off of the handle and got stuck in the dummy.
Chapter 10
Chase’s POV.
Doug walked up with the broken handle and looked at it. “Well Steve your handle was loose and three slashes and the blade came right off.” Doug said. Then Will walked up and looked at Steve. “Steve your blade has suffered a catastrophic failure and can no longer preform in our test so for that reason please shake our hands and exit the forge.” Wil said. Steve shook the Judges hands and me and Rubble’s paw and left. Then Doug walked back and looked at me with a smile. “Chase you ready?” He asked. “Yes I am.” I say smiling. Doug picked up my knife and started slashing a new ballistic dummy. After he finished the dummy was destroyed and he walked back smiling. “Chase this blade is one of the best knives that have been in this forge well done.” He said.
After the Strength and sharpness test.
The judges finished and Will walked up and looked at us. “Blade smith’s congratulations you will make it into the final round we’ll see you soon.” Wil added. We walked out and went to our cars. I got a picture of me and my knife on my phone. “So Chase can I see the photo you took of your blade?” Rubble asked. I took out my phone and showed him the picture. “Why do you have the Gay Pride flag on it?” He asked. “Because I am gay you know that I am married to Marshall.” I say. “Well you never see him he lives in Florida and you never speak to him.” He said. “Well I’ll call him right now and you can listen to it in my car.” I say. We go into my car and I call Marshall and put him on speaker. “Hello this is Marshall.” Marshall said. “Hi Marshall it’s Chase, how have you been?” I ask. “I have been great but why don’t you ever talk to me?” He asked. “Because I have been getting ready training to be on Forged in Fire and I’m going to the final round.” I say. “That’s great babe, and has Rubble told you about going back to Adventure Bay in 2 years?” He asked. “Yes he has and he’s in my car with me.” I say. “Wait did you say your car?” Marshall asked. “Yes I got it and I’ll send you a picture once I get back to the hotel.” I say. “Ok bye Chase I love you.” He said. “I love you too bye Marshall.” I say. I hung up and Rubble walked to his car and we drove back to the hotel.
Chapter 11
Chase’s POV.
It’s the next day and it’s the day of the final round of Forged in Fire. Yesterday I sent Marshall a picture of my car and he was jealous. I woke up and got dressed and walked downstairs. Me and Rubble met up and ate some breakfast and went to our cars. We drove to the Studio one last time and parked and walked inside. We made it to the main room and the Judges were already there. “Congratulations Blade smiths you have made it to the final round in this competition and before, we had you create your own Damascus pattern. Now we are sending you back to your home forges to recreated this iconic weapon from history.” Wil said. Then he pulled off a cover from the table in front of the Judges table. It revealed a replication of the Honjō Masamune sword.

“The Honjō Masamune. Good luck Blade smiths we’ll see you in four days.” Wil added. Me and Rubble shook paws and walked out and drove back to the airport. We got on different flights that go to our homes. 5 1/2 hours later I reached LAS and took a Taxi to my house. The camera crew also took a Taxi to my house. We got to my house and immediately went to my small forge. Once the cameras were rolling I grabbed some 1095 steel and started heating it up.
Chapter 12
Chase’s POV.
Day 1 is now over and I have the blade fully forged and quenched and it turned out perfect. I slept great and now it’s 7am, Day 2. I got up and dressed then walked out. The camera crew walked to the forge and I entered and they started recording. I started making a handle I am using the traditional Japanese wood, Honoki because I’m recreating a ancient Japanese sword. I made a traditional handle and attached it to the blade and it took up the whole day. I went to sleep and the next day work up at 7:30 and got dressed. The camera crew and I entered my forge and they got set up and started recording. All I have left to do it’s polish the blade, and sharpen it. But first I started carving a ancient Japanese word into the blade. I put “力と名誉” or in new Japanese “chikara to meiyo” which means “Strength and Honor”. Once I got the symbols in the blade I started sharpening the blade. It’s been about 3 hours of non-stop grinding and sharpening the blade. But I have finished and I started polishing it and around 4pm the blade is finished. “Since I can’t keep this blade I should just make the same blade and keep it for myself.” I say in my head.
The final day with 2 hours left.
I have finished my second sword and it is just as well as the first. Then I grabbed the first Sword I made then me and the camera went to the airport and flew back to NYC.
Chapter 13
Chase’s POV.
It’s the fifth day and me and Rubble drove our cars to the studio with our swords in the back. We parked outside the studio and grabbed our blades. I looked at Rubble’s and he went a different wood and a Damascus pattern on his sword. We walked inside and walked to the main room. We walked inside and the Judges were already waiting for us. We set the blades on the holder and lined up in front of the Judges Table. Then the cameras started recording and Doug walked up half way to us. “Alright Blade smiths this is the Kill Test to see what lethal damage your blades can do, I will be slashing at this Ballistic dummy. Rubble your up first you ready?” Doug asked. “I sure am.” Rubble said. Doug picked up Rubble’s sword and walked up to the Ballistic dummy. Then Doug started slashing at it and 8 slashes later he finished and the dummy’s head was off. He walked back in front of us and smiled. “Alright Rubble your edge is sharp and as you can see is very deadly. But your blade is so heavy I can feel it pull back as I bring it up. But Your blade will kill.” He said. “Thank you so much.” Rubble responded. “Chase your next ready?” Doug asked me. “Yes I was born ready.” I say smiling. Then he set Rubble’s down and picked mine up. He looked at it with a surprised look. He went over to a new Ballistic Dummy and started slashing it. 8 slashes later he finished and the Dummy’s head and shoulders were off. He walked back and looked at me. “Ok Chase I love the weight of this blade, it is so light and I love the handle it fits my hand perfectly. And most importantly it will kill.” He said smiling. “Thank you so much.” I say smiling.
Chapter 14
Chase’s POV.
Doug put my blade back and walked back to the judges table and David walked up. “Gentlemen this is the Strength test. The horse skull chop, Now I’m not concerned at what your swords do to the targets. But what those targets do to your swords. Rubble you ready?” He asked. “I guess so.” Rubble responded nervous. David picked up Rubble’s sword and walked up to two horse skulls. He started chopping one of the skulls and after 6 hits he walked back. “Ok Rubble your edge is still sharp but there is a bit of a roll you can hear it when I move my finger over it.” He said. Then we heard him using his fingers against that roll. “Chase you ready?” He asked. “No.” I say chuckling. David giggled and set down Rubble’s sword and picked up mine. He walked back to the horse skulls and started chopping at the other skull. After 6 hits he returned. “Ok Chase your blade has suffered no injuries well done.” He said. I sighed in relief and he put my blade back and walked up to the Judges table. Then Doug walked back up smiling. “Alright gentlemen this is the sharpness test. This test is to see how much edge your blades still have left. Rubble you ready?” He asked. “I am.” Rubble said. After Rubble’s and my test, my blade preformed much better than Rubble’s am I’m sure I’m going to win. Me and Rubble grabbed our blades and lined up back in front of the Judges table. “Gentlemen your blades preformed well in our three tests but there can only be one Forged in Fire champion. And that pup is...Chase. Rubble your blade did not make and David will explain why.” Wil said. “Rubble your blade took a bit of a Roll in the strength test and for that reason we’re sending you home.” David said. “Rubble please surrender your blade to the Judges.” Wil said. Rubble put his sword on the table and shook the Judges hands and my paw and left. “Chase you are the new Forged in Fire Champion and that title comes with a check of $10,000 how do you feel?” Wil asked me. “I feel great.” I say smiling. “Please present your blade to the judges.” Wil added. I put my blade on the table and shook everyone’s hand. “Chase your blade was the most accurate and best blade in our forge congratulations.” Doug said. “Thank you.” I say. I walked out smiling and went to my car.
Final Chapter.
Chase’s POV.
I got in my car and drove back to the Hotel. I packed my things in my room and walked downstairs. I saw Rubble and Skye and I walked up to them. “Congrats Chase we’ll see you in two years back in Adventure Bay.” Skye said. “Thanks Skye and I’ll see you then.” I say. I walked out with my bags and went to my car. I put them in the trunk and took the top off and drove back to my home in Las Vegas. I got to my house and called Marshall. “Hello Marshall here.” He said. “Hi Marshall it’s Chase I just want to tell you I won the competition and I got the $10,000 check.” I say. “That’s great and I sadly got kicked out from my parents house today and I’m just landing in LAS now.” He said. “Great I’ll pick you up.” I say. I put my bags in my house and drove to the airport. I parked in the front and saw Marshall with a few suitcases. I waved and he saw me and walked over smiling. “Hi Chase how are you?” He asked. “I’m great what about you?” I asked. “I’m great.” He said. He put two of the suitcases in the trunk and got in. He has his final one in between his legs. “I have never been in a Ferrari before.” He says. “Well now you have.” I say smiling. I drive back to my house and park in the garage. We go inside and Marshall puts his three bags in our room. I was in our room sorting while he was in the living room. “Chase?” He asked. I walked out and I saw him looked at my second make of the sword I made for Forged in Fire. “I thought you couldn’t keep them?” He asked. “We can’t but I made a second one and it still made it onto Tv for a few minutes.” I say. “Well I love what you did to it.” He says. “I love you Marshy.” I say. “I love you too Chasey.” He says. We kiss and go to bed because it’s night and we snuggled all night.
The end.
