*The scene opens to Rocky, Rubble, and Ryder at a cabin in the woods. The cabin was home to Uncle Otis as the pups were moving some mining gear*
Ryder: We should have all the gear set up in no time.
Rocky: Just doing a quick check over to make sure we got it all.
Otis: Well I'd like to thank you for helping me on this
Rubble: Does this mean you're gonna go out to mine again?
Otis: Of course. And old buddy of mine told me of a special cave nearby said to be loaded with gems. Sure gold is nice, but gems are a beauty.
Rubble: But aren't gems sometimes hard to find and mine them out?
Otis: Yeah, but I'm not too worried. I'll just get what I can find and collect.
Rocky: Just try to be careful
Otis: Oh I'll be fine this time!
Rubble: We've heard that one before.
Otis: But this time I really mean it! Besides, if I am in trouble, I will call you pups
Ryder: Well that's always a good thing. We should be all set though.
Rocky: By counts, we are. Though... *He glanced over to see a nearly broken pickaxe and shovel.* These two tools look like they've seen better days. I could repurpose them or have Formula look at them for his opinion.
Otis: Go ahead and take them. I've had my time with them, fair someone else now gets to use them for a better purpose
Rocky: Thanks a lot.
Otis: Also, who is this "Formula" exactly?
Ryder: Guess you haven't met him yet. He's a pup we met for our team a long time ago.
Rocky: He's been a great help and very smart too.
Otis: Sounds like a swell pup
Rubble: You don't know how accurate that is...
Rocky: Also, what even was he doing? Last I heard, he was talking to some... projects?
Ryder: I'm not sure. He said he need some time to himself to work on something. Hopefully he's not working himself too hard *While the others got loaded up, a transition of Formula's tag saw the labrahuahua in his lab as he was working on some upgrades for his bionic paw.*
Formula: Got to admit, these upgrades will be quite a thing... don't you agree guys? *He turned to the six heads from Harold's failed plan that were all powered up on a small displays.*
Ion: It will make your paw react without any delay or lag.
Inferno: But are we just gonna be like this from now on?
Formula: Oh come now, it's better than being dismantled for spare parts, isn't it?
Cyclone: Yeah, it is. But it's not like we are ungrateful. It's just...
Tsunami: It's been so long now, and we're still just heads
Formula: In time, in time! I have lots of projects, and my new friend is helping out! *He grinned while looking over some new paws. One that had small conical drills at the claws, one that had a large drill bit, and the last having a weird blue circle with cables running up the back.*
Ion: I sometimes worry he's almost like a mad scientist with his projects...
Formula: I heard that, you know I can put you all on mute if I want to
Quake: He scares me at points... and we aren't programmed to have fear.
Formula: Oh nonsense... *He laughed a bit, only for Balloona to clear her throat as he woke up from his workbench from another passing out.* Gah! What?
Balloona X: Dreaming again are we Formula?
Formula: Huh? What? *He looked around to see his bionic paw off of him and opened up with some tools next to him. He also checked around to see the heads of the robot copies with their eyes closed as if they were shut down or similar*
Balloona X: Formy, you always work yourself tired... why not let Daniel help you out? My little pup can't keep doing this by himself.
Formula: Loony... *He groaned while adjusting his bad leg to the paw, having it attached and closed up.* You know how I feel about that...
Balloona X: Formy, come on. It's just asking for help, it's not like he's gonna replace you. No one could ever replace you
Formula: Not that part... *He turned his paw back on as it went through a small start-up protocol before being active.*
Balloona X: I thought you hated people questioning your intelligence, not your size.
Formula: It's... something else lately is all. *He left to the main part, looking over the computer for any activity.* Ever since our team's been expanding, metaphorically and literally, I've been having these visions in my head...
Balloona X: Visions? What kind of visions? Like future rescues, or something about my past?
Balloona X: I'm sure we can handle it
Formula: I hope... *He glanced to look for any parts from his machine of the past, seeing none yet.* I just hope, Loony...
Balloona X: But possibly the reason why Daniel is here... not just to keep his eyes on us, but also help us too, including you and your project
Formula: I can't be certain yet...
Balloona X: That's why you gotta have faith as well. I know you're smart and rely on facts, but sometimes having hope and faith can help too. Give it a try
Formula: I'm not one to turn my head from sciences and logic though, making impossible things possible... I still don't know much about myself or these powers even after all these years.
???: Then maybe an extra set of eyes and paws can help get you some answers? *they looked at the open door to see Daniel as he stepped inside*
Balloona X: Daniel!
Formula: Uh, how... how much did you hear exactly?
Daniel: All of it, you got to remember I'm a wolf pup, and wolf's ears can hear everything
Formula: Oh, so you heard all that...
Daniel: I did. And you don't need to worry *He walked closer to join the other two.* You and Balloona are here for a reason. I don't know why myself, and it makes me curious. I'm just as interested to learn more about your past as you are Formula. Two big brains together can solve anything after all.
Balloona X: See, Formy? He wants to help you out on this. You know what they say, 2 heads are better than one.
Formula: There's 2 already in me, so not that far off.
Balloona X: That's not what I meant and you know it
Daniel: For now though, you should get some proper rest will we start figuring you out... and by the way, on your plans... *His pup pack held up a sketch book full of blueprints as he chuckled a bit.* You make me jealous with the way that brain of yours thinks.
Formula: Wait, you jealous of me on my ideas?
Daniel: I just never thought of your talent till recently... a little jealous myself I never thought of some of this stuff.
Formula: Wow. I never thought I could get someone who can travel dimensions jealous.
Daniel: Well you're the first to be honest
Balloona X: Wow Formy, that is some accomplishment! Daniel must really have high praise for you
Formula: It's something... *He yawned before going to the exit he had by the tree to go outside.* I should get rest though, to at least rest these visions for a while...
Balloona X: Sleep well, Formy. *he leaves the 2 as Balloona seemed a bit worried* I never knew Formy was having visions. You ever seen anyone get that when you visited them?
Daniel: No, but ever since he came in contact with the X-Fractal, it's left a weird impression. That, or it's just his lack of sleep plus your fun ways. It's a 50/50 chance, you got to roll the dices
Balloona X: Speaking of, I need to make sure he is resting for real.
Daniel: Why? Does he have a habit of running off?
Balloona X: You'll see in due time... *She went over to the same exit as she went up, the wolf pup grinning while looking at some of the plans.*
Daniel: How about I help get some of these done for him? As long as I follow his plans, I can get things done...*He wonders a bit with an idea forming in his mind. A transition of the usual emblem showed Otis traveling the woods with his mining gear as he looked around at a rock shaped like a crumbled bear*
Otis: Hmmm, now did he say left at the bear rock, or right? I think... it's the left *Otis then headed left from the rock as he saw the woods beginning to clear up a bit along the way* Should be around here somewhere… or was this the way to the flower fields again? Wish I did grab a map just in case... *as he continued to look around in wonder, he then got to a clearing to see a cliffside and a bit of rocky areas* Maybe it was here. But here is the entrance?
???: Aren’t you a fine specimen?
Otis: Huh? Is there someone here? *he went to the source of the voice over by some large stones. On the other side was a small dark furred Rottweiler was she was looking at a small rock with interest* Oh, a Rottweiler pup but I never seen you before *the Rottweiler then looked at Otis*
???: Oh hey, didn’t see you there. How long have you been here.
Otis: I just got here actually. Say, what are you doing exactly?
???: Going on a bit of an expedition for some caves. I love most things geological after all.
Otis: A cave? Hey, I was looking for a cave actually! Did you happen to see one near here?
???: Actually I did. *She led the way a bit, finding the entrance within a rocky wall that was a fair ways off the main path.*
Otis: Wow, so here it is. Thanks a bunch… uh, sorry but I don’t think I caught your name
???: Oh right. I’m Amber.
Otis: Ah, like a gemstone
Amber: I have a knack for finding them on my spelunkings.
Otis: That’s very nifty. I’m Otis, pleasure to meet you.
Amber: So why were you coming here?
Otis: A friend of mine told me of some gems nearby, I was hoping to find some.
Amber: Well there should be some down in here, but I was checking earlier... something felt very off with the structural integrity of the rocks.
Otis: I wouldn’t worry. I’m usually careful when I mine anyway. So no cave is gonna stop me *He put his pickaxe over his shoulder and grabbed a spare lantern before heading in.*
Amber: I have a bad feeling in my bones about this… either that, or I’m just hungry.
Otis: Just try to be careful, some areas have some weak points
Amber: Yeah, I’ve been in my share of caves. Just need to know where to step and where to not hit.
Otis: Shouldn't be too hard down here.
Amber: Alright then *they continued their trek into the cave as it was soon getting darker, luckily the lantern was able to light their path*
Otis: Hmmm just need to find the right spot…
Amber: You can tell by the walls.
Otis: Not my first time around, I know the drill *While the two trekked down deeper, Amber looked around cautiously to the cave walls.*
Amber: You sure this area of the cave is a good idea?
Otis: Absolutely sure! As sure as the durability of my tools here! *He pull out his pickaxe and mark his spot, he then quickly struck the rock, chipping away at it. A few more strikes then affected his pickaxe as the end broke off. Amber looked at him with an unamused look* This is why I bring spares just in case *He pull out a 2nd pickaxe*
Amber: I still think you should be careful. I heard some rumbles around here, which are a sight of instability.
Otis: Trust me, I know what I'm doing *Amber feel abit worry as she stepped back abit. As Otis chipped away, a section of the wall showed a chunk of what looked like a form of gemstone.* Eureka! I found the diamonds!
Amber: Uhhh… that’s a patch of quartz actually.
Otis: Oh, well it's still sparkly and nice. Let's see if anything else can be found here. *as he struck the wall again, there was a light rumble that soon grew louder around him*
Amber: Uh oh.... *She quickly backed up as cracks appeared and started to cause the ceiling to give out.*
Otis: Oh boy…
Amber: Otis! Get out of there! *Otis tried to rush, but the falling rocks were staring to get in his way and soon tripped as the cave entrance closed up just before he got out* Otis! *She get close to the entrance* Oh dear, oh dear… Are you ok in there?! *Otis sat up and put his lantern beside him as he looked at his ankle*
Otis: I’m fine! But my ankle has seen better days though
Amber: Hang on, I’ll find some help to get you out of there
Otis: I know just the team to help! The Paw Patrol!
Amber: The who?!
Otis: Just find a kid with tons of pups, they can help out! They should be by the Lookout Tower.
Amber: Tower, ok then! Just hang tight! And don't move or disturb the rocks
Otis: Not like I can go anywhere like this
Amber: Right… fair point *she started to run off. A transition of the usual Paw Patrol emblem shifted back to the Lookout where the other pups were hanging out and watching some shows.*
Skye: Those space pups really made it out of that field.
Rocky: They were lucky to fix their engine in time before losing power
Blossom: Very lucky indeed.
Rocky: Not as lucky that I have you
Skye: And I’m lucky with my Chasy. *the 2 couples looked at their lovers and lean in for a cute nuzzle*
Everest: And me with my Marshy too *The 2 nuzzled each other too*
Marshall: Still surprised you could even make it today Everest.
Zuma: Same with you, AquXarine *he cuddles up to her body*
AquXarine: Hehehehe, well I have to make sure I give my lovely pup his daily cuddles
Zuma: Still good to get them in though. *Everyone is enjoying their loving moments, all except for Rubble who abit sad as Balloona X walk in and see him*
Balloona X: Rubble, everything alright? You look a bit down.
Rubble: Yeah, I’m fine. Just… thinking on snack time is all!
Balloona X: Really?
Rubble: Yea, just hungry abit… nothing wrong at all
Balloona X: You absolutely sure about that? Or are you feeling left out?
Rubble: No, not at all!
Balloona X: If you’re so sure then, I’m going to go check on Formy to make sure he’s resting… speak now or hold your peace.
Rubble: Well… I… Uh… *Balloona waited for his answer as he didn't say much to her*
Balloona X: If you really insist that's it, then fine. *she walked off as Rubble sighed a bit before getting up*
Rubble: Now I really want snacks *As he headed to the pup treat dispenser, he started to hear something outside* Huh? What’s going on? *he went to see as the door opened and Amber rushed inside panicking*
Amber: Help! I need help! *she didn’t look where she was going as she bumped into Rubble and they rolled. The two tumbled into a treat dispenser as it emptied out into a pile onto the two pups. The other pups heard the noise and went to the treat dispenser*
Chase: What happened?
Skye: Is everything ok? *they helped cleared the pup treats to see Rubble on his back with a quick bite before he saw his team*
Rubble: I’m fine but something hit me… *he looked up and saw Amber. They both looked into each other in a slight daze and wonder* Uh… hi…
Amber: Uh, hi there… I’m guessing I found the Lookout?
Rubble: You… You did. My name’s Rubble.
Amber: I’m Amber *Both of them keep looking at each other for abit until Amber snapped out of it* Wait... almost forgot, I need the Paw Patrol's help!
Chase: Is something wrong?
Amber: Yeah, I met a man named Otis who was looking for gems in a cave, but he accidentally caused a cave in and is trapped!
Pups: Uncle Otis?!
Amber: Wait, you all know him too?
Chase: A majority of us do, yes.
Aqua X: Who is he?
Blossom: I don’t recall
Rocky: He’s that old prospecter, Mayor Goodway’s Uncle.
Blossom: That makes sense then.
Zuma: I guess we should have told you what we know about
Aqua X: There will be time for catching up later… for now, seems we got a job to do. *From the elevator, Ryder came down slightly worried*
Ryder: What happened? I heard something.
Skye: Uncle Otis is in trouble.
Amber: Who are you?
Ryder: I’m Ryder, and what do you mean Uncle Otis is in trouble?
Amber: I was helping him with a bit of mining when a cave in happened. He’s stuck in there and has a hurt ankle, and I need help!
Ryder: Well don't worry, we can help him out. No job is too big, no pup is too small! *He pull out his pup pad, pull it side and push the button on it* Paw Patrol, to the Lookout!
Pups except Formula: Ryder needs us! *Balloona went to Formula to see him still napping from being exhausted*
Balloona X: Formy? *His ears twitched as he groaned, rolling onto his back.* Formy, get up! We need to go now! *he still lays unresponsive to her* Hmmph… ok then. Just means I can use an override after so long… *She pulled him out so he was out of his puphouse and near the Lookout as the rest of the pups got to the elevator. They all looked to see 2 members weren’t around, and Marshall was the first inside*
Marshall: Where are Balloona X and Formula?
Amber: Uh, who?
Chase: Two other members we have.
Rubble: Though with how big our team’s getting, we might need a… less cramped elevator.
Skye: Might end up squished if they get in big enough.
Chase: You wouldn’t mind as long as I’m with you, right?
Amber: Ok... all this sounds weird abit?
Blossom: You’ll understand soon. Took us a bit to find out
Amber: Ok? *The female Rottweiler looked with some confusion as the elevator closed and started rising. Balloona X was still pulling Formula toward the elevator*
Balloona X: Just missed it… oh well, override time for you! *she then taps his collar as the Elevator made it to the emblem. The emblem shined as the Paw Patrol got their suits on. The Elevator made it to the top as the doors opened and all the pups leapt out. All the pups started to line up*
Chase: Paw Patrol, ready for action, Ryder sir!
Ryder: Uh, Chase… *he looked at the line up of pups*
Chase: Well, almost all of us.
Ryder: Where are the others
Skye: We didn't see them get on.
Ryder: Well where are they then?
Chase: Possibly Balloona X getting Formula here? *The sound of knocking on the window caught everyone’s attention as they turned to look outside. They can see Balloona X outside*
Balloona X: Hey guys!
Amber: Whoa, that’s a big collie! And how is she… floating exactly?
Skye: I can guess who she is floating on out there
Amber: I'm sorry? "Who she is floating on" is what you said?
Chase: Balloona X, why not show Amber what we are talking about?
Balloona X: Sure thing. Thankfully my helium override worked on him still being asleep.
Amber: Helium override? What's that?
Skye: You'll see. *soon Balloona was floating up more to show a still sleeping Formula as he was inflated in Override Mode 7. The sight of the pup quickly surprising Amber*
Amber: Wait... but he... how is... WHAT?!
Balloona X: We'll explain, but I wanted to get Formunce full of helium, and he is so comfy like this. *She nuzzled his big body a bit.* He's almost like a turtle or such tucked away.
Skye: Looks so cute. Might be fun to try some time.
Everest: It sure would
Amber: Uh…
Rubble: It’s ok Amber, you just need abit time to handle our stuff *Then the Elevator did went ding as it opened up and revealed to be Daniel in it*
Daniel: Sorry I’m late. I was caught up sorting some notes when I got the alert.
Ryder: Well you’re here now, and that’s good
Daniel: Balloona, do you think you can… come in?
Balloona X: I’ve been trying to wake Formy up, but he’s out like a light! No matter what I do, he won’t wake up!
Daniel: Hang on *He barked as his pup pack open up as it pull out an onion, move closer to Formula's head, and it breaks the onion open for the smell to come out*
Balloona X: Really Daniel?
Daniel: Onion smell always wake up everyone due to their bad smell
Marshall: Run out of smelling salt or something? *Formula took a whiff of the onion as he quickly woke up and gagged a bit*
Formula: Ugh, what is that! *he then took notice of his surroundings and his body shape* Loony!
Balloona X: Can’t see much, huh love?
Formula: Uh… what happened here exactly?
Balloona X: A long story, but we have a job to do now.
Formula: Oh... well, alright then. Loony, if you please?
Balloona X: I don't know, maybe we can just stay here for it.
Formula: Loony!
Balloona X: Ok, fine *She grabbed his collar to disable the override. As he started to deflate back down*
Amber: What did I just witness…
Rubble: I’ll explain about it to you later… *he blushes* If that’s ok with you?
Amber: I would like that. Because I am very, very confused. *some of the other pups took notice of Rubble and started to understand what he was going through. After a bit, Balloona and Formula came up from the elevator and met up with the rest of the team*
Chase: Ok, now we all ready for action, Ryder sir
Ryder: Good to have you all here pups. *he used his pup pad to activate the monitor* Uncle Otis was searching for gems in a cave when he accidentally caused a cave in and is now trapped inside.
Amber: It wasn't very stable when we went in, I was worried this was gonna happen. And now Otis is hurt and trapped in there
Ryder: But we’ll make sure to get him out all safe and sound. But we’ll make sure to get him out all safe and sound. So for this rescue, I need *he selecting on Rubble’s icon on his pad* Rubble, I need you with your rig to dig and move all the rocks out of the cave entrance
Rubble: Rubble on the Double!
Daniel: Ryder sir, I do have a piece of special equipment from another world that could help him out, just in case there are too many rocks in the way
Ryder: If that is needed, then you can tag along too
Daniel: Excellent to hear.
Ryder: *He selecting Marshall’s icon* EMT Marshall, I need you and your emergency response x-ray screen to look at Otis and see if he has any other injuries
Marshall: I’m ready for a ruff-ruff rescue!
Ryder: And for more help, we’ll also need you Amber.
Amber: Me? Really?
Ryder: You knew about the cave instability, and can help us see which parts of the cave are safe to move around in. You will be riding with Rubble *Rubble feel surprised but nervous about that*
Rubble: With me? Really?
Amber: I don’t mind that. If it helps get us there, then it’s fine with me *Rubble blushes on what she said*
Ryder: Alright, Paw Patrol is on a roll! *Ryder then rushed to the pole as he slid down to the garage. Marshall rushed to the slide as he slipped and fell onto it, sliding down along the way. Rubble and Amber hurried as they both jumped onto the slide, Rubble was sliding on all 4 paws as Amber followed suit. At the bottom, Marshall landed on his pup house as it changed into an ambulance and drove off a bit. Rubble and Amber then landed in Rubble’s puphouse has it changed into it’s bulldozer form and drove off a bit. The garage door opened as Ryder got on his ATV and drove ahead to lead the pups. Along the way Amber got close to Rubble as he was a bit shy from the experience*
Amber: Ready to rock and roll when you are, Rubble!
Rubble: Yeah… Me too… *he shyly looks about as he still follows Ryder. Soon, the team made it to the cave entrance and hurried off their vehicles to the rocks*
Ryder: Uncle Otis?! Are you alright in there?!
Otis: I’m fine on my end, just my ankle abit hurt at the moment
Ryder: We’ll have you out of there in no time!
Daniel: Time to get the hard equipment out *he barked as it pull out what look like a phone with a spin bottom, as it put the phone on his arm* Overdrive Accelerate! *As the arm move the phone crossed both arms* Drive Claws! *As it form 2 big pair of claw weapons modeled after bulldozer buckets on his paws*
Ryder: Whoa, those are new.
Daniel: Just some claws that were from another team I borrowed it from. They can help with the digging.
Rubble: I’ll help you with my rig too *He rushed to his rig as he drove beside Daniel to the cave entrance*
Ryder: Otis, move away from the entrance as much as you can!
Otis: Already on it! *He carefully dragged himself away from the entry way.*
Amber: Be careful, some of those rocks are heavier than they look. If one of the larger one slips and rolls, it could be bad.
Marshall: We come prepared all the time, that I can assure you. *He hopped into the back of his ambulance while looking for some supplies in case.*
Amber: I’m going to guess… it involves what that other dog went through?
Ryder: Slightly. But it can be different for some of them
Amber: Curious to find out then… *Rubble and Daniel began to dig and move some rock out the way. Rubble’s rig was able to lift them up and move to to side as Daniel was able to carry them with the help of the claws*
Rubble: Man, for a wolf pup like you Daniel, you can handle all these rocks
Daniel: Oh trust me, there are more things you don’t fully know about
Ryder: we would like to know. After all, we’re a team. *as they continued to move the rocks, a larger rock from atop the pile was beginning to move and tumble*
Amber: Guys, stop!
Ryder: What’s wrong?
Amber: You’re about to dislodge that rock! *she points to the large moving rock on the pile*
Daniel: Move back! *Both Daniel and Rubble back away from the area, the boulder continues to move a bit as it tumbled onto the ground and began to roll*
Rubble: That was a bit too close there!
Daniel: But it's still dangerous for a boulder
Rubble: I’ll go put a stop to it before it rolls too far. *he drove his rig to the rolling boulder, luckily it was only slowly so he got in front of it fairly easy* Alright, time to put a stop to this. *He lowered the bucket down to the ground to catch the boulder to a stop. On impact Rubble’s rig was being pushed a bit, but he put a little more power into the controls as the boulder slowed to stop*
Amber: Wow, he’s good.
Ryder: He’s used to this. We’ve been through other kinds of stuff before
Amber: You’ll have to tell me more later on.
Ryder: Later on? Sound eager to find out more, huh?
Amber: I'm interested, yeah *The Rottweiler sat back as Daniel got back to moving a few rocks away. Otis could only hear slight muffled sounds on his end as he heard a something getting closer to him*
Otis: What’s this now? *soon some light was able to pierce through the rocks as he was able to hear and see someone on the other end*
Ryder: Otis, you alright in there?
Otis: Yeah, I'm good! Glad to see you made it through
Ryder: We’ll have you out in no time.
Otis: But what about all these fancy gems down here? Can’t go leaving them behind so soon.
Ryder: We just need to get you safely out first. So hold on *The rest of the rocks were removed to safely enter the cavern.* We’re all set. Marshall, you’re up.
Marshall: I'm on it *He run up to Otis, barks* X-Ray! *his pup pack extended a screen as it went over Otis' ankle for Marshall to see the X-Ray* Hmm, it looks like you twisted it slightly.
Otis: Oh man, that’s not good.
Marshall: Don’t worry, I’ll help treat you. *barks* Bandage and splint! *his pup pack retracted the X-Ray before 2 claws extended with a bandage roll and a medical splint* Now hold still, Uncle Otis *Marshall then got to work as the boot on Otis was removed and he quickly wrapped it and put the splint on to keep it steady* Just don’t put pressure, and ice it.
Otis: Thanks Marshall, but I still gotta look for some gems for Goodway.
Amber: Uh… let me do it, it’s fair I do it for you instead
Rubble: You don’t have to do it alone, I can help out too. I-If you want that is. Just let me equip my drill in my pup pack, since Formula made it for me, just in case for cave rescue
Ryder: He really thought ahead for these types of things *He placed the drill in his pup pack*
Rubble: All set
Amber: Just be careful, and drill where I show you so we don’t have anymore cave-ins
Rubble: I’ll do my best, Amber
Daniel: I'll come along, in case you two need help.
Otis: I don’t want too many gems, just bring a small amount you can find and carry back
Amber: Don't worry, I'll make sure we get the gems carefully
Ryder: We'll help you get back home, Otis. Just hang tight.
Otis: Alright then, thanks Ryder *Ryder and Marshall help out Otis as Rubble, Amber, and Daniel went inside the cave. Amber looked around the cave’s wall and she tapped on the wall to check if it was safe*
Amber: Hmm… *she tapped around a bit more as they were getting deeper into the cave*
Rubble: Man, we are getting way… deeper in the cave… *he feels abit nervous since the cave was getting darker*
Amber: Afraid of the dark or something?
Rubble: I’m not afraid of anything! I’m a tough pup after all!
Amber: It’s ok to be afraid of the dark… I use to have that problem before I have cave-in issues instead
Rubble: Really?
Amber: Yeah. I was trapped for a bit with a small flashlight. I looked around but soon found myself in a deeper part of the cave. I was worried that I kicked a rock, but I heard it was hollow.
Rubble: A hollow rock?
Amber: Mmhm.
Rubble: There some significance to it?
Amber: By listening closely in the wall, I can find something to break and dig to it. After finding a harder rock, I hit the hollow one. Soon it cracked opened and I saw that it was a geode. A beautiful geode. And when my flashlight hit it, the light reflected and shined all around the cave. It made me want to find more of them and show the beauty to everyone else, so that’s why I want to be an expert on rocks and minerals
Rubble: Wow, that’s actually incredible
Amber: Yeah. It’s a beautiful thing for me *As she hit another wall, she heard it was all hollow* This spot sounds like a good place to drill. Go for it, slowly
Rubble: Alright *bark* Drill! *his pup pack open up to pull out his new drill*
Amber: Just steady it on the wall and slowly drill deep *The bulldog walked over, the conical drill getting lined up before starting to drill against the wall.*
Rubble: I still don’t know when Formula added a drill like this.
Daniel: Oh, I actually added it… I followed his blueprints, but this is the first real test of it.
Rubble: Wait, really?
Daniel: Yes
Amber: You sure it's safe to use here?
Daniel: As long as he doesn't set it on target drive
Rubble: What does that do exactly?
Daniel: Full speed and maximum strength
Rubble: That for tougher materials?
Daniel: Indeed
Amber: We'll save that for any necessary areas that need it
Daniel: Well I make sure it safe... as long I got the program all right *as Rubble continues to drill, a chunk of the rock fell off to reveal something underneath*
Rubble: Huh? What do we have here? *as they looked to where the chunk of rock came from, Rubble moved the drill as it cracked more of the wall, causing a rumble to sound*
Amber: Uh guys…
Daniel: Uh Rubble, maybe turn off the drill now?
Rubble: Huh? *he looked and see the wall cracked more as the place started to quake too. However, before anyone could react, a portion of the rock floor gave way and caused the bulldog and rottweiler pups to tumble down into a hole connected to the initial drilling spot.*
Daniel: Oh boy, that’s not good… *after a bit, the 2 pups landed at the bottom with minor issues* You two alright?!
Amber: Yeah, but I think we’re stuck *Daniel tried to follow them, but the hole was too narrow for him to get through*
Daniel: *sighed* Well unfortunately I can’t get down there… abit too big to fit in the hole *He helplessly kicked his hind legs before finding enough purchase to get his form out.*
Rubble: Maybe I can dig the way out with my drill *His drill started up as Amber try to stop him*
Amber: No, Rubble… if we try to go back where we came, we might get hurt and get more cave-ins… I suggest we find another way out
Rubble: Well, alright then… *He had his drill folded away.* But… how can we find a way… it’s abit dark here? Plus… *he feel scared abit* What if there any s-s-s-spiders here too…
Amber: Rubble, are you afraid of spiders?
Rubble: They just freak me out
Amber: Not all of them are scary you know…
Rubble: I know... but... some are in the... dark...
Amber: Some just prefer a secluded area, and some go for areas where they can find prey. I mean not all of them are in dark places. Besides, I’ll be with you, Rubble. You don’t have to worry. *she gets close to him before placing her paw on his* Now just stay with me and let’s find our way out of here… Daniel, make sure you let Ryder know that we will find another way out
Daniel: Alright, just be careful down there
Amber: We will… *The two pups walked through a small pathway for a while. Rubble feel abit nervous as he held tight on Amber’s foreleg abit* This kind of feels like the time I was lost before. But now I’m not alone in this
Rubble: Really?
Amber: Yeah, though it’s kinda cute how you can switch acts a bit though.
Rubble: What do you mean?
Amber: You can be scared one moment and shy another, you can go through moods
Rubble: I do not!
Amber: *giggles* Oh come on, I said it was cute. You know... I guess you and I aren't so different from each other. I was very scared too, but I try to just not show it.
Rubble: You’re good at it then.
Amber: Takes a lot of time and practice. *The two pups eventually entered a large and roomy portion as they paused.* Should get some light huh? *She pull out her flashlight and turn it on. Once the light shined into the cavern, they were amazed at what was found*
Both: Whoa… *They see the whole cavern filled with crystals, shining bright and beautiful from the flashlight*
Rubble: This was near Adventure Bay?
Amber: You never know what is beneath the surface, until you look a little deeper inside. It’s so… beautiful down here
Rubble: Yeah… *He turned to face her as some of the light shined around her* It really is *He then move up to Amber and give her a kiss. Amber blushes from his kiss as she returns a kiss back, thinking* Can’t believe I did this…
Amber: *thinking* I can't believe I kiss him back...
Both: *thinking* But... *they both look at each other as a spark of love hit them, thinking* It just feels… right in a way… *They continued to look at each other for a bit before Amber looked behind Rubble and noticed something*
Amber: Huh, that's odd...
Rubble: What’s odd?
Amber: This crystal cavern has another patch here… *She walked over to a small hole as she peeked through it.* I can see what looks like a way out, but it’s not big enough to squeeze through.
Rubble: Maybe I could use the drill... but I don't want to accidentally destroy this place and end up in another cave-in
Amber: Got a Plan B possibly? *Rubble thinking for abit*
Rubble: Wait, maybe I could use my drill but not as a drill but like a pickaxe way
Amber: You will need to steadily hit it at exact points to just chip away
Rubble: Maybe you can help with that, try to find the weak points to do it
Amber: Perhaps, just carefully strike where I show
Rubble: I will, Amber *bark* Drill *his pup pack pop out his drill* I just have a feeling this might break it though...
Amber: Now I just need to look carefully for a good spot to do this *she got close to the wall as she knocked on the wall*
Rubble: Ready when you are then. *She hit the wall under the hole as it feel weak abit*
Amber: Found it, under the hole
Rubble: Time for my drill to be a “Stonepecker” *he got close to the wall as he then used the drill to jab into the wall. Little by little, the wall was getting chipped away at*
Amber: It’s working, keep going Rubbie *The hole steadily got bigger after enough jabs to the point they could go through fine.*
Rubble: We did it! *they hurried through the new opening as they stuck close to each other. They appeared on the other side of the mountain* Yeah! We made it out!
Amber: I knew we could.
Daniel: There you 2 are! *they saw Daniel coming up beside the cave* Took me a while to find this
Amber: Wait, how did you know we might gonna be here?
Daniel: I didn’t. I just went looking around and this was the only other cave I found
Rubble: Technically, we found this cavern that is nice and beautiful
Daniel: Really? Did you find any other gems for Otis in there?
Amber: Well, there are tons of gems down there, maybe we could show Otis the cavern
Rubble: But carefully
Daniel: He'll love that. Let's get some for him *A transition of the usual Paw Patrol emblem showed that Uncle Otis in the Crystal Cavern with Amber and Rubble looked around the place, as Ryder and Daniel followed in*
Ryder: So this was down here all along?
Amber: It’s not a typical geode that’s for sure… *She walked over to some different crystal patches.* There’s a bit of quartz, a bit of sapphire, some emerald it looks like… a lot of different minerals might be down here by the look of it.
Rubble: Maybe there is one special gem here that Mayor Goodway might like
Amber: Can't hurt to look...
Otis: Well it’d be nice to pick one that she might like, but… removing a gem here might ruin this places beauty. Maybe instead of taking a gem from here, how about we could show everyone this place?
Amber: Well that might be a good idea for everyone to see this… but if people don’t be careful being in here, they might end up getting hurt like you did, Otis
Otis: Well how can we make sure it doesn’t happen? *Then Daniel thought of a idea*
Daniel: Ryder, why not call Formula? Maybe he has some new tech for safety usages
Ryder: Good idea. *He pulled out his Pup Pad and selected Formula’s tag.* Formula, you there? *There wasn’t an answer outside of a slight murmur from the dog sleeping.* Formula, hello? You there? *Then Ryder see Balloona X’s paw in the background and try to shake him abit to wake up*
Balloona X: *offscreen* Formy, Ryder’s calling you dear! *after a bit, Formula got up as he was a bit groggy*
Formula: The pies are in the second oven...
Balloona X: *offscreen* Easier to wake you that time, but Ryder needs you, sleepyhead!
Formula: What is it?
Ryder: We need your help in making a cavern safe for anyone who wants to get inside.
Balloona X: A cavern? Is it pretty?
Ryder: Very pretty as a matter of fact. Plenty of gems all over.
Formula: Hmm... I'll see what I can do, just as long as nobody has any plans in my lab.
Ryder: I'm sure your plans are all ok. But please try to get here as soon as you can.
Formula: I'll be there as fast as I can
Balloona X: I can help with that!
Ryder: Good to hear
Formula: No Loony, I'm good! *He ended the call to get prepared. Daniel looked around the cavern and the different gems as he wondered a bit*
Daniel: *to himself* A place like this would be interesting for that X Type
Rubble: What was that, Daniel?
Daniel: Oh, just a private thought about something else
Rubble: Oh, alright then. *A transition of Formula's emblem showed that Formula and Balloona X showed up that Formula programming his drones*
Formula: These should help us make a system to keep everyone at a safe distance and to obverse this cavern without cause for a cave-in
Balloona X: Where did you even have time to make these things? *She tapped one of the bodies as the others stood idle for a bit longer.*
Formula: Daniel helped with the core designs, I can just interchange programs and parts for what I need.
Balloona X: That's impressive.
Daniel: We were going to do that with the heads of those copies, but need time to make sure the systems are right
Formula: Uh, yeah... *He nervously laughed to his earlier dream before finishing the code.* Alright, we should be good now.
Daniel: Time to fire up the drones
Formula: Alright then... *He sent the code as the machines powered up, going over with one setting up a support or two after scanning for weak points.*
Amber: Hopefully it will make sure this place is perfect and safe for everyone
Balloona X: Formy’s one of the best with gadgets! He’ll make sure this cavern’s perfect for anyone in Adventure Bay!
Amber: I really appreciate that. It would be nice to have help and show off the beauty of crystals, like I have
Rubble: Well it’s more than one beauty here. *Rubble looked at Amber as he blushes*
Formula: Hmm, do I sense another team member perhaps?
Balloona X: Looks like it, that's if Amber wants to join the Paw Patrol
Ryder: What do you say Amber? Think you’d want to help us out?
Amber: Really? You'd be ok with that?
Ryder: We can use more pups with experience that can help us in other missions if needed. We would be delighted to have you
Balloona X: Plus, you should show her the trick we got Rubble…
Amber: The trick?
Rubble: Like what you saw before, with Formula.
Amber: Wait, what?
Rubble: You might want to take a few steps back, Amber
Amber: Huh?
Ryder: Trust us on this. *The rottweiler shrugged while giving some extra space. Rubble then exhaled a bit before he inhaled as his body started to bloat up. Amber was shocked at the sight of Rubble swelling up*
Amber: Wait... What?!
Formula: Hehehehe, yea... it's something I added in the collar tag from an old experiment I did, but I'll explain everything as I can
Balloona X: Mmhm, Formy isn't the only big dog... but it just means there's more to love when you're puffed up.
Rubble: But it's your choice if you want to join and help us on some rescue issues
Amber: I would be honored to help you out.
Rubble: Great!
Balloona X: Well Formy, seems you have to get another thing set.
Daniel: Actually *he pull out a collar with a pup tag with a geode symbol* I was... kinda... may've planned ahead…
Amber: That's for me? It's perfect!
Daniel: Great. *he went over and put the collar on as Amber looked at it with amusement*
Amber: I’m the excavator of the team!
Ryder: Glad to have you aboard the team.
Rubble: And glad I met you too, Amber
Formula: Well, I'll get to work on setting up extra equipment. I do have a drill I want to work on...
Daniel: About that... *He nervously walked off while Formula groaned a bit.*
Otis: Well thank you Ryder and pups for helping not only me and my small mining bit, but also finding this place for Adventure Bay to enjoy!
Ryder: No problem Uncle Otis, whenever you are in trouble in a cave or found a Crystal Cavern, just yelp for help
Amber: So, should we get out of here? *She went over to Rubble, getting ready to roll him out.*
Balloona X: Seems she will have her fun already with him. I don't blame her
Formula: Mmhm, for sure... *He glanced over to Daniel a bit.* You didn't include the extra bit, right?
Daniel: I make sure I follow your plan exactly
Formula: Yes or no?
Daniel: Well... kinda
Balloona X: Extra bit? What are you talking about, Formy?
Formula: You know... the abilities…
Balloona X: Wouldn't that surprise her a bit?
Formula: Not unless Rubble shows her the ropes
Amber: Wait, it's possible to get these?
Formula: It's a very long story...
Balloona X: But like the others, they can handle it
Formula: You'll just have to learn. In due time.
Rubble: I'll be there to help you when you want
Amber: Alright then but for now, I'll just roll you back at the Lookout, plus you and I can have some talk there *she started to roll Rubble out of the cavern as a transition of the Paw Patrol's logo cut back to the Lookout Tower as all the pups having some fun time together, including Amber and Rubble. Amber was close by as she cuddled Rubble a bit. The other couples see her as they admired it*
Skye: That's sweet
Chase: It's nice to see a new face to help out.
Zuma: Plus, dude's not gonna be lonely now.
Blossom: Do wonder if she knows about the collar stuff yet though?
Aqua X: Possibly Formula and Balloona X did explain it to her
Marshall: I hope she can control it like us before
Everest: Don't see it being hard to. It's more focusing on the fun.
Marshall: You would know about the fun.
Everest: It's nice, what can I say?
Skye: I can agree to that
Blossom: Same here
Aqua X: Me too *All the gals nuzzled up to their respective boys.*
Rubble: It's nice to have another member, especially one as nice as you.
Amber: Well I was just in the right place at the right time
Rubble: But still, a Construction Pup with a Rock and Mineral Expert Pup together as a perfect team
Amber: Goes paw and paw after all, not sure how it could get better.
Rubble: Only way I see, if you also were like that.
Amber: Yeah, if only. *Out of nowhere, Amber felt a weird tingle in her form.* Hey, what's going on here?
Rubble: Something wrong?
Amber: I feel weird
Rubble: I think I have a hunch... It happened with the others.
Amber: What do you mean by that, Rubble? *Out of nowhere, Amber found her body starting to swell and puff up.* Whoa! What's happening?!
Rubble: You're swelling, like all of us. It's wonderful
Amber: Is this what you meant before?!
Rubble: Well yes, but you look more cuter like this now *The rottweiler swelled up to match the bulldog's big size while she stared.*
Amber: Is there some way to fix this?!
Rubble: Think happy thoughts for it. As long as your mind is calm and happy, you are in control
Amber: Ok, if you say so. *She slowly tried to calm down and focus. After a bit of concentration, Amber was slowly deflating*
Rubble: See? I told you. It's gonna take some time for you to handle it. But I'll be here with you all the way.
Amber: That's very comforting
Rubble: We all had to help each other out, now it’s my turn for you.
Amber: Thank you. *Amber was soon her normal size as she goes in to nuzzle Rubble in comfort*
Rubble: Hehehehe that tickles there *they enjoy their time together as the couples see their new duo together enjoying their time*
Skye: Best to let them get settled in, though is Formula getting to work on the new gear already?
Chase: Last I heard, he was with Balloona in the basement.
Skye: What is she doing down there?
Marshall: Possibly trying to give him some comfort time down there
Everest: I'm sure he deserves it. Let's just go back in and leave them be, then *The other couples went back into the Lookout while Formula was busy working on the equipment for Amber to be set, though Balloona X just watched him with a few thoughts in her mind.*
Formula: Just need a few more parts for this pup pack, and she will be full ready for your future rescues
Balloona X: Good to see my pup finally got rest too…
Formula: Yes, but I still find it weird Daniel did help me on some of my plans. I thought he would make some changes
Balloona X: He wants to help out. Whether you’re too busy, too tired, or… *She grinned while snuggling up next to him.* Too puffy.
Formula: I know... but... I guess I could try to trust him…
Balloona X: Perfect. So… mind we have a “little” puffzle? Because I've been waiting for it all day, Formy
Formula: Can it wait until after I finished this Pup Pack and her gear?
Balloona X: Hmmm… better finish quick then. *She eagerly walked a bit away before inhaling deeply.*
Formula: You know it takes time to get it right
Balloona X: Just saying you have till I fill your space up… tick tock… *She eagerly wagged her tail while resuming her inhaling. Formula looked behind him to see Balloona swelling up, already getting about twice as big*
Formula: Loony!
Balloona X: Come on, the puffy trap has went off. So better hurry *Then he feels someone tap his shoulder and looked to see Daniel*
Daniel: Sorry to interrupt Formula, but maybe you should have some playtime with Balloona X, I can handle finishing the pack for you... beside *whispering to Formula's ear* You know how Balloona X gets if she waits too long
Formula: I guess I can let you finish the plans I started at least.
Daniel: Perfect! *He took the tools and pressed a button to empty the space up.* All yours, Balloona!
Balloona X: Ooh, more space? Perfect!
Formula: Oh dear…
Daniel: Enjoy. *He left as the collie grinned, going from a slow swelling to a rapid swelling.*
Balloona X: We will have so much fun!
Formula: Alright then, Loony. Just don't go overboard
Balloona X: No promises... *She kisses him before she started blowing air into him. She eventually blew him up to match her size, though kept blowing as he started as well.*
Both: *muffled* Puffzle time! *Both inhaled eagerly before kissing, blowing happily into the other as they ballooned bigger rather quickly. Both pups eventually filled all the space in the lab comfortably as they easily nuzzled their heads against one another, tails wagging happily the whole time.*
Balloona X: Hehehehe, still got it
Formula: This is kinda growing on me you know…
Balloona X: I know, my big puffy genius pup
Formula: Says my equally even puffier pup.
Balloona X: I always know the right thing to give you a good time. I'd do anything to make you happy.
Formula: I don't doubt you would
Balloona X: Though be lucky we weren't outside, cause I'd get going a lot more for this puffzle.
Formula: I know. *he leans in for more puffzles as the 2 pups were enjoying their time lovingly together*
The End
