The New Era for Equus

Rescuing the PAW Patrol

Upon 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 oxygen tanks to the site. Smolder rushed inside the hotel since she was acclimated to hot temperatures and didn’t 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 Yona had put oxygen masks on Marshall and Rubble and Smolder had bandaged 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.

Applejack 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 to the rainforest. 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.

On the way to the dinosaur 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, which means he cannot move his back legs. Both of them are dehydrated and have passed out from heat exhaustion.”, she said.

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.

Upon 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 police uniform.

“HERE THEY ARE!”, 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.
