So last chapter. Hopefully a happy one and filled with turn of events you won't expect. Enjoy, probably I will throw a new chapter after this one featuring a teaser of my next Paw Patrol story. Enjoy…
Chapter 13: Darkness fades. Light rises.
Everyone stood howling in the city, their tears were falling in the ground soaking it. Raigho was laying his head on Iki's body crying on his foster son's fur, he has wished so much for his return but it was hopeless. Raigho felt his right blue eye gathering energy, and he could see the blue markings on Iki's face. Everyone stopped howling as soon as that happened. Then Iki opened his eyes and Raigho was going to jump but he knew right away who it was.
Raigho: Skoll?!
Skoll stood up and everyone almost cheered to see him alive but they didn't knew who he really was.
Zuma: Iki you are alive!
Skoll: I'm not Iki. I'm Skoll the white spirit inside of Iki. He is just my vessel.
Raigho: Skoll you have to help me, please.
Skoll: Raigho you know I'm not a healer, I'm a herder.
Raigho: Please Skoll, I need this.
Skoll: I have helped you when you died, give me a reason why should I help Iki now.
Raigho: I know you don't want to keep living but Iki is my son and I want him to live a life where I can actually show him what is like to live with a family that can love him. He hasn't received a lot of love from us lately and I want to… I want to give him the father and mother he deserved. I want to show him that we will love him… accept him for who he is… show him that we will be there for him no matter how different he is. He didn't deserve to die like this. Please, I beg you, bring Iki back. Please. (Cries.)
Skoll just stood there looking at Raigho crying on the ground.
Zuma: Please sir, he is my fwiend, please.
Skoll looked at everyone around and they all were sad, eventually everyone want it him to be alive. He hasn't seen so much sadness from a lot of beings just because one die. Mortals sure were more sensitive than he thought. He sighted defeated.
Skoll: Very well. I will keep him alive and cure his insides. I see you all loved him, therefore I'll do it just because is true that he didn't deserve this.
Skoll then made himself glow entirely blue and after 10 seconds he fell to the ground and the markings were gone. Everyone gathered around him and then he opened his eyes slowly.
Iki: (Weakly) Hey, why am I seeing doubles?
Zuma: Iki! (Zuma jumped to him and hugged his "brother" tightly.)
Everyone gathered around him crying with joy seeing their friend alive, they licked him and hugged him all together. Ryder eventually had to call them.
Ryder: All right everyone, give some space to Iki please. Let him stand.
Everyone backed away letting Iki take his time to stand carefully. Iki stood and stretched his body and shook himself. Iki then walked to everyone smiling like he always do. Raigho was so happy to see that innocent smile of Iki, Jera could almost cry at seeing him alive but Isa was the one to jump in to hug her little brother.
Isa: Oh Iki I thought we lost you forever. Are you okay?
Iki: Yeah I'm fine.
Kaya: Iki! I was so worried! (She jumped and kissed him in his lips)
He did nothing to hesitate to kiss her back, Raigho cleared his throat which caused for them to break and blush.
Ryder: Well why don't we head back to the Paw Patroller and return to Adventure Bay.
Everyone agreed to it and they walked back to the neon forest to the area where the Paw Patroller was. When they arrived at the Paw Patroller they saw Robo-dog playing his PS4 and talking through a Bluetooth.
Robo-dog: No man you just had to open the doors before the zombies could arrived, but you just continued buying perks and I told you save some money to get the doors. (Then he saw Ryder.) Oh sorry man I have to go now I'll connect later. (He exited the game and turned off his console.) Well you made it back. So are we ready to leave?
Ryder: Yeah, let's go back home.
Robo-dog: Aye, aye captain.
Robo-dog started the Paw Patroller and drove out of the forest, while they exited the gates of the city everyone started to sing road trip songs. The long trip was happy all the way to Adventure Bay and as they kept passing they were at the beach and in the way they saw someone that made Ryder stop the Paw Patroller. In the beach was sitting in the sidewalk Phantom with his mask and hood on looking at the beach. The pups almost reacted with fury seeing that guy still alive. Zuma immediately activated his powers and exited the Paw Patroller, he walked straight to him and was ready to bit that head off for good. Then he stopped straight at hearing Phantom talking while holding a sea shell.
Phantom: What is my real purpose? I have killed a lot of lives but no matter how much I try to avenge my clan I never get to understand why. I can avenge my clan, but what happens if I do and there's nothing more to fight for. Will I be happy like a real human? Will I ever be surrounded by others? Why do we kill? Why can't the Kobura live with society? Instead we killing, when we could have been protectors. I'm the only one alive, and the more I kill the more is hard to comprehend in why we can't live like others, peace, and good life. Is it that hard to understand humans, when I kill everyone then why would I live if there's nothing else to fight for? Is there a way to live without being all by yourself? Without thinking that we have no real purpose? Everyone has, but what is mine? Why am I alive? Is it because I'm destined to change the way of my clan? To keep it alive but in a clean way.
Zuma was taken back by his words, it was like Phantom was trying to find his human side but the burden of being programmed to kill has taken away that human behavior, the way to think that vengeance is wrong. His clan was a group of evil beings but Phantom was a human and now he is trying to find it somewhere to see if he could change even knowing he was created with the whole purpose to kill everyone who made the extinction of the Kobura clan.
Zuma: You ca twy by accepting your human side. And then maybe build a new Kobuwa clan, one that actually is good instead of evil. Fighting is what killed your clan and almost bwought extinction to my pack. But we are still alive because we stopped fighting, you should stop fighting and bwing your clan back but only as a good one.
Phantom was taking that information and he could feel his humanity waking up. He could create it back but filled with the mission to protect those others instead of killing others. He looked at the Red Death and mad a new promise to himself. He would only kill dark creatures with it and never use it to harm innocents. Phantom knelt down in one knee and bowed to Zuma in a sign of respect. Phantom offered Zuma a blue glowing dagger he had hidden in the coat.
Phantom: Please, accept this Holy Dagger, my gift to you for waking my human side. I'm always on your debt Zuma of the Venus pack.
Phantom was extending his hand with the dagger, Zuma however was shocked to see how Phantom quickly awoke and broke through the orders of being a murderer. Zuma saw how the darkness inside Phantom was replaced with Light. Zuma smiled and accepted the dagger without hesitation. Phantom took off his mask and hood and looked at Zuma with a normal smile.
Phantom: Arigato Zuma-sama.
He then put his hood and mask on and stood and bowed before he walked to the forest. Zuma meanwhile de activated his powers and walked back to the Paw Patroller.
Chase: Why didn't you killed him?
Zuma: (Smiles) I doubt he will kill anyone. He just need it to find his human side. After all he was a cyborg programmed to kill. But he managed to break that system.
Zuma sheathed his dagger in a pouch. Ryder commanded to continue to the Lookout. As they arrived they were met with another surprise. In the front of the Lookout they were met with Mayor Humdinger and a black wolf.
Ryder: Mayor Humdinger? What are you doing here?
Mayor Humdinger: Oh Ryder, there you are, I was just bringing this wolf here to see someone, and apparently she is desperate to see someone.
The wolf looked at Ryder and then she kept staring at the pups and the wolves that came out of the Paw Patroller. She couldn't find him until the last one that came out made her feel so much with joy. Zuma came out last and she couldn't believe how much her baby has grown. Zuma looked at the wolf and he stopped dead at seeing her eyes. He felt like he was about to cry and quickly he ran towards her and she did the same.
Gaia: Zuma!
Zuma: Mom!
They jumped at each other to a warm hug. Gaia started to kiss her son in a kind way, they hugged each other crying.
Gaia: Zuma, my dear baby.
Zuma: Mom, I have missed you so much. I thought you were dead.
Gaia: I'm here, don't worry I'm here.
They separated from their hug and she licked him in the cheek. He was happy to feel that motherly love he never experienced, that was the best hug he ever had in his life. After all these years this was the first hug coming from his mother. Then some three wolves ran to him.
Gray wolf: Little brother!
Zuma: I have brothers and sisters?
Brown wolf: Well one sister.
Gaia: Zuma this are your siblings. The brown one is your sister Shela.
Shela: Hi
Gaia: The brown and black one is your brother Caligo.
Caligo: Hello.
Gaia: And the big gray one is your older brother Kairo.
Kairo: Sup baby brother.
Zuma: Hi guys. I want you to meet my fwiends this is Mawshall and his giwlfwiend
Marshall: Hi.
Zuma: This is Chase and his mate Isa. This is Wubble. This is Wocky and Iki my best friends and Iki is Isa's bwother and his pawents Waigho and Jewa. This is Fehu and his nephew Gebo and the human is Wyder my owner. And she is Skye my mate.
Gaia: Nice to meet you all, so Zuma a mate. Are you going to give me grand pups?
Zuma: We mated, she is a day pwegnant.
Gaia: That is so exciting. I know you will be a great dad.
Kairo: I'm going to be an uncle. Who would knew my baby brother will be more mature than Caligo.
Caligo: Hey!
(Everyone laughed.)
(One Year later.)
Chase: Then when everything was almost lost, Zuma woke up and he engaged with green flames to Phantom. Phantom was then so angry that he was going to get Zuma with his Red Death and then…
Isa: Chase. Why are you telling the kids this stuff, you know they are too young.
Black and white wolf pup: Mom, we are old enough.
Isa: Gecki you and your sisters are young.
Gecki: No we aren't.
Lily: Yeah mommy we are old enough. (She was a gray German shepherd with brown details.)
Terra: (A wolf with German shepherd color patterns.) Yeah and we are brave like dad.
Chase: No, your mother is right. You are too young, in fact I don't even know why I was telling you anyways. Why don't you go and play with Marshall and Everest's kids?
Lily: Yay!
The three pups ran outside.
Isa: Wow, they sure like to be like daddy.
Chase: What can I say? They have both our genes.
Isa: (Laughs) Well you are brave, I'll give you that. It wouldn't surprise me if one of them took a job like yours.
Chase: I don't mind what they choose to do in the future. I will support them always.
Isa: That's why I love you. You are always so nice with me and your pups. I knew I made the right choice at mating with you. (She licked his cheek.)
Outside Marshall was running with his two pups in which both looked like Everest but one of the Huskies was spotted like Marshall. And has the same blue eyes of his father. The spotted Husky took down Marshall.
Marshall: Oh no. Nice one Billy.
Billy: Thanks dad.
Marshall: Hey Sarah, you will get me next one.
Sarah was a dark gray and white Husky.
Sarah: Sure dad.
Marshall: Hey look Chase's kids are here. Go play with them.
Billy: Race you Sarah.
Sarah: You are so on.
They both raced to Chase's pups.
Everest: Hi honey.
Marshall: Hi Everest. So they took you down again?
Everest: Yeah. Billy is running faster every time.
Marshall: I know he took me down just now.
Everest: Really? What a surprise.
Marshall: You know ever since you removed your beanie you look even more beautiful.
Everest: Thanks. It had to be done. It was getting smaller so, I just keep it around for Sarah who uses it in winter.
Marshall: Yeah, but you look hotter. And sexier.
Everest: Marshall!
Marshall: (Laughs) What? Is true.
Everest: Marshall stop that. (Hits Marshall making him laugh again.)
Meanwhile Skye was laying in her bed watching over her four pups. Junior the brown Chocolate lab. Misty the black lab. Princess the Cocker spaniel. And Cloud the black wolf with green eyes.
Misty: Mom Junior is saying that he is better than me in Pup Pup Boogie.
Junior: I'm not.
Misty: Yes you are, see he is lying.
Skye: Misty, Junior stop acting that way. Be more like Princess and Cloud, see they are behaving.
Cloud: Mommy where's daddy?
Princess: We haven't seen him in 4 hours.
Skye: He should be…
Zuma: Here I am. Sowwy I'm late but I and my siblings were doing some stuff.
Four pups: Dad!
Zuma: Hey how is evewyone.
Princess: We are fine daddy. So where is uncle Iki and Rocky?
(Iki and Rocky.)
Phantom: Here's the things you requested.
Rocky: Thanks Phantom.
Iki: Where do you find this stuff?
Phantom: I have my ways in temples.
Rocky: Well thanks again Phantom. And please we hope you can be there in the picnic.
Phantom: Sure.
Iki: Don't be late.
(Zuma)
Zuma: Just doing things with a fwiend of your daddy.
Skye: We better get ready for our picnic. So you guys go get ready.
Pups: Yes mom.
Zuma: So, did they behave?
Skye: Well you know, same old same old.
Zuma: Misty and Junior?
Skye: Yep.
Zuma: Well they will learn. So shall we get weady ourselves?
Skye: Sure. (They kissed.)
Everyone got ready for the picnic and they greeted Phantom who arrived in time. Zuma and his family were together and Ryder accepted for Raigho and his pack to live in the Lookout with them in which Raigho was pleased and they all had their picnic together like a family happily.
The End.
Thank you everyone for reading and if you think I could do a sequel concentrating on Cloud then let me know if not then I won't. See you guys on the next story.
