Episode 37: Sylvex's visit and help
Back at the base, The Pups Gang gathered around the table, the SoS chipset in the center.
"We need to analyze this," Anna said, her voice firm "it could hold the key to finding out who did this."
But suddenly, the doorbell rang, interrupting their somber moment.
The pups exchanged puzzled glances. Visitors at this hour were rare, especially after their recent tragedy.
Anna cautiously approached the door and peered through the peephole, her heart racing.
Anna sighed and then she opened the door.
Standing there, was a female German Shepherd puppy.
"Sylvex... I'm glad to meet you, cousin," Anna said, hugging her old friend tightly.
Sylvex was a ninja spy puppy, she comes from Japan, where she became a ninja puppy.
"Anna... W-what happened?!??" Sylvex's eyes searched the room.
"Come with me," Anna sobbed.
*Time skip: back to the cemetery*
"What the... How... How can... Master Jerony and my little cousin, Hershell, be... Gone?" Sylvex's voice was barely above a whisper, her eyes welling up with tears as she saw the two graves in the cemetery.
"They were on a mission," Anna's voice was shaky as she tried to explain through her tears "a mission that went wrong... A missile shot down our jet."
"How could only you and the other survive but Master Jerony and Hershell didn't?" Sylvex's question hung in the air, her eyes searching Anna's for answers she knew wouldn't come easy.
"We don't know yet, Sylvex... We're at home when the crash happened... The SAR searched but found no trace of them." Anna's gaze dropped to the ground, her tail tucked between her legs.
Sylvex took a moment to digest the news, her ears flattened.
"But you think it's Elena Rose's doing, right?" she asked, her voice filled with determination.
"Yeah... And I'm sure our little leaky golden retriever is still alive," Anna said with a firm nod, her voice filled with conviction.
"Wait, you mean... Hershell... Still alive?" Sylvex's eyes widened with hope, her tail wagging slightly.
"Yes... I found his pup-tag with the SoS chipset intact," Anna said, her eyes gleaming with hope "but no sign of him... It's like he was taken or lost it while escaping."
Sylvex's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with possibilities.
"We need to find him," she said, her voice firm "I'll help you."
Back to the house, The Pups Gang, now with Sylvex by their side, gathered around the control room table, the SoS chipset in the center of their circle.
The room was thick with anticipation and grief. Luna's paws hovered over her laptop, ready to dive into the data they had retrieved from the chipset.
"Guys... What if I use my ninja ability to explore the forest, I hope with that, I can find any clue of Hershell," Sylvex offered, her eyes determined.
"Are you sure you're up for it, Sylvex?" Anna asked, her gaze searching the ninja puppy's eyes "the forest can be dangerous."
"I'm ready... At least, I've been training more hard since the last time we met," Sylvex replied, her tail wagging slightly with excitement "even... I will also ask for help from Queen Ayra Lunamoon the Diamond Dragon if needed."
"Thank you, Sylvex... We'll need all the help we can get," Anna nodded, feeling a newfound surge of hope.
"Alright... Now take me to the forest where the jet crashed," Sylvex said, her eyes gleaming with determination "maybe I can pick up some scent or something."
