Author's note: Alright 'Guest', I'm not going to tell you again to stop leaving nasty comments on my story. And for the record, yes I get creativity blocks, that's part of writing, fyi. I've had enough of your immaturity and nastiness. Believe me, I'm not someone you want to mess with, and if you actually had an account, trust me, I would've blocked you by now. So please stop with the negativity and f* off!

Anyway, to the rest of you, enjoy this chapter!

Everyone stood in silence and shock. They had won the battle but at a cost. The pups and Ryder felt awful that they weren't able to help Almuzar. They had always been able to help people. And even after all Almuzar did, they were still willing to forgive him. But he ended up dying vengeance consumed and angry.

Sweetie, Mayor Humdinger, and the kittens were unconscious, and black knight armor was everywhere. Everyone was exhausted and emotionally drained. Even Sid and Arrby felt bad. Their first mission with the PAW Patrol, and they weren't able save everyone.

"So what now?" Rubble asked.

"I don't know." Ryder replied

"Ryder, we're sorry we weren't able to help save the sorcerer." Sid said.

"Yeah, our first mission as good guys and someone died." Arrby added.

"Don't apologize, you guys did great." Ryder replied.

"Ryder, pups!" Mayor Goodway's voice called out. She and the citizens of Adventure Bay rushed in.

"We were seeing all kinds of light from up here and were worried about you." Captain Turbot said

"Wait, where's Almuzar?" Katie asked.

The pups were silent for a second before answering.

"The Diamond of Mortality shattered, and since his soul was bound to it, he died." Rocky replied with a sad tone.

"Yeah, but we weren't able to help him let go of his thirst for vengeance." Marshall added.

"We're so sorry pups." Mr. Porter said.

"It's ok, we just wanted to help him." Skye said, "I just hope our ancestors aren't mad at us."

"Of course we aren't." Skyler's voice said as she and the other Knights manifested.

"You aren't?" Chase asked.

"Of course not." Chance replied, "You risked your lives to save your home."

"But we couldn't save Almuzar." the Princess sighed.

"I don't think he wanted to be saved Princess." Charles said, "Vengeance blackens and consumes the soul. He fell into that pit years ago. He probably couldn't be saved. And I don't think we could've saved him either."

"But it's alright." Blaze said, "Because saving many is better than saving none at all."

"I guess you're right." Marshall replied.

At that moment, Ryder fell unconscious. The exhaustion and injuries had taken its toll and was proving fatal for the 10 year old.

"Oh my word, what happened?!" Mayor Goodway exclaimed.

"Almuzar shot the scepter at us, and Ryder jumped in front and the bolt hit him." Arrby exclaimed.

"His injuries are even worse now and beyond my EMT skills." Marshall said.

"Hold on a minute." Charles said. He floated down and put his hands on Ryder's chest. His hands glowed and he removed them a few moments later. Ryder then woke up.

"There. I stopped the internal bleeding and lessened the severity of the wounds, so he's no longer in danger of dying. But he'll still need to take it easy." Charles said.

"Thank you Charles." Marshall said in relief.

"And thank you for rescuing me." said a female voice. It was Sarah. When Almuzar died, the spell that kept her captive broke, and she floated to Charles's side and held his hand.

"Anytime." Ryder said, "Whenever you're in trouble, just yelp for help."

"We most certainly will." Richard said smiling. The spirits of the Knights and Sarah then vanished.

"Uh, what should we do with the scepter and other jewels." Sid asked.

"For safety, let's not put them in castle." the Princess said.

"Agreed, we can keep them in the Lookout basement." Zuma suggested.

"Yeah, good idea." Rocky replied, "And I'm sure there's a spell in one of the spell books which will keep people from getting in it."

Just then, there was moaning. Everyone looked to see that Sweetie, Humdinger, and the kittens were regaining consciousness. The pups, Ryder, and the Princess walked over to the trio.

"Uhh, what happened?" Sweetie said. She turned her to find the PAW Patrol looking at her with stern faces, "Uh oh."

"Uhh..did we win?" Mayor Humdinger asked in a dizzy voice. He then saw the team looking at him, "Oh no."

"What do y'all have to say?" Marshall asked, his blue eyes stern.

"We're sorry." Sweetie and Mayor Humdinger said begrudgingly and annoyed.

"If y'all are are really sorry, them y'all can clean up the mess you made of the town." Ryder said.

"What?!" Sweetie exclaimed.

"But that'll take forever." Mayor Humdinger whined.

"Then you better get started." Mayor Goodway said with a stern tone as she held out buckets, sponges, mops, and brooms.

"Oh fine." Mayor Humdinger groaned as he took some cleaning supplies, "Meddling PAW Patrol." he muttered under his breath.

"And Sweetie, when we get back to Barkingburg, you're confined to your doghouse for three months and I'm taking away all your gear." the Princess added.

"What?! You can't do that!" Sweetie yelled.

"Yes I can." the Princess replied, "And that's what you get for partnering with a sneaky mayor and a vengeful sorcerer and taking over Adventure Bay."

"Fine." Sweetie said begrudgingly as she, Humdinger, and the kittens got to work.

"Hey Ryder, can we talk with you real quick?" Chase asked.

"Sure what is it?" he asked.

"Ryder, we think it's time for you to, you know, get the girl." Rocky said with a smile.

"Are you sure pups?" Ryder asked in an uneasy voice.

"Come on Ryder, we know you like Katie. And she really likes you too." Skye said.

"But what do I say?" Ryder asked.

"Just tell her what you think and feel." Chase said.

Ryder smiled and said, "Since when did you pups become experts in love?"

"Let's just say we learn quickly." Zuma replied.

"You sure do." Ryder said. He took a deep breath and walked over to Katie.

"Katie, I, uh, uhh..." Ryder started, his face growing red, I just wanted to...uh, I've been wanting to say this for a while, but...I like you. Like reallly like you."

The pups were trying to contain giggles, and everyone else was surprised.

Katie smiled and said, "Well, I really like you too. Come here my knight in shining armor." She grabbed the front of Ryder's jacket, pulled him towards her, and kissed him on the lips.

Ryder was a little shocked and surprised at first, but he quickly overcame it and wrapped his arms around her.

"Awwww." the pups said as tears formed in their eyes. Chase then fainted.

"Never thought I'd see the day." Rubble said.

"I know dude." Zuma said smiling, "I know."

After a moment, the two broke the kiss and were blushing. The pups were about to say something, but Ryder stopped them.

"Pups, don't even think about it." he said with a smile.

"We won't." Skye said.

"Ryder, pups, Princess, Sid, Arrby, thank you for saving Adventure Bay." Mayor Goodway said.

"Yeah, you guys totally kicked evil's butt!" Daring Danny X exclaimed.

"You're welcome. Whenever you have a problem, just yelp for help!" Ryder replied.

"Uh, Ryder, one problem. How are we gonna rescue people for the next few weeks if our veichles are badly damaged?" Rubble asked.

"Not only that, but you're still hurt and the PAW Patroller is in worse shape." Rocky added.

"Since you pups have been through a lot, how about you all take a break." Mayor Goodway said.

"Yeah, you pups deserve it." Captain Turbot added.

"Thanks, but who will take care of problems our at sea and lifeguard duty?" Chase asked

"Arrby and I can handle that." Sid said, "Right Arrby?"

"We sure can Captain Boss Mr. Sid sir." Arrby replied.

"And we'll try to stay out of trouble and only call you if it's an absolute emergency." Mr. Porter added.

"Wow thanks everyone." Marshall said before yawing, "But right now, I could use a nap."

"I think we all could." Ryder replied, "We haven't slept in 24 hours."

"But let's clean up in here first." Rocky suggested.

Everyone then pitched in to clean up the inside of the Lookout. The knights armor was put in the basement, along with the scepter, six remaining jewels, and remains of the diamond. After several hours, the Lookout was clean. The Princesss contacted the Earl to tell him the threat was over and that she'd be back in Barkingburg the next day. With Katie's help, Marshall rebandaged took care of Ryder's injuries. Afterwards, Katie left to clean up her pet salon.

"Dudes, I don't think I've ever been this tired in my life." Zuma said.

"I know." Rocky replied, "In 24 hours, we went Barkingburg, Sweetie, Mayor Humdinger, the kittens, and Almuzar took over Adventure Bay, Ryder was kidnapped and almost drowned, found out our ancestors were rescuers, met their spirits, and fought all four bad guys head on."

"Yep, that about sums it up." Chase said.

"And Ryder got a girlfriend." Skye added.

"That too." Rubble said.

"Well, I'm ready to sleep for awhile." Ryder said, "How about you pups?"

He didn't get an answer as he saw all six pups had fallen fast asleep. Ryder didn't realize how tired he was until he was out like light.

About a month later, Ryder was completely healed and was back on the job. The town was fixed and cleaned up and life was back to normal. Sid and Arrby were a huge help and were even made honorary members of the PAW Patrol. Sweetie was back in Barkingburg, and Mayor Humdinger and the Kitty Katastrophe Crew had been very quiet.

One day, the Earl called telling the team that they were going to go public with the information about the fate of the Canine Knights and wanted the pups to come. After a two hour flight, the team arrived in the kingdom and headed to the castle.

"Welcome back PAW Patrol." the Earl said.

"Hello Ryder, pups. And I see you're a lot better now." the Princess said.

"Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better." Ryder said.

"When's the event." Rubble asked.

"Tomorrow." the Earl replied.

"We'll help you set up." Marshall said.

"Good idea." Ryder said before turning to the pups and gave them their assignments before helping set up for the event.

The next morning, people and dogs headed to the castle for the occasion. A while later, the Princess and the Earl came on the stage and silenced the crowd.

"Ladies, gentleman, and pups, thank you for coming for this special event." the Princess said, "I have a very important announcement to make. About a month ago, I found out what had happened to the Canine Knights after the Battle of Good and Evil."

Murmurs swept through the crowd. The Earl quickly silenced them and the Princess continued.

"As it turns out, in order to protect their descendants, the Knights faked their deaths and fled to Adventure Bay, and there they helped build the town." the Princess explained, "And today, their descendants carry on their legacy. Please give a hand to the descendants of the Canine Knights, the PAW Patrol!!"

The team then came on stage. Everyone was shocked. The heroes of Adventure Bay were the descendants of their heroes.

"Good morning everyone." Ryder said, "Yes it's true. We are the descendants of Knights. For a while, I wondered if there was a reason we came together."

"And now we know why." Chase said.

"And we're proud to be carrying on our family legacy." Rocky said proudly.

The crowd cheered. The Princess and the Earl silenced everyone.

"PAW Patrol, I want to thank you for saving possibly the entire world." the Princess said.

"You're welcome." Ryder replied.

"Before you leave, I wanted to give you these." the Princess said as several servents brought up several paintings. "I was in the basement a couple of weeks ago and I found several paintings of the Knights. I wanted to give them to you."

"Thanks Your Highness." Rubble said.

After that, the event ended and the team headed back to Adventure Bay. They gave one of the paintings to Mayor Goodway to put in the town hall. For the rest of the day, the pups mostly hung out, with a couple of emergencies popping up. That night, the team had an outdoor sleepover and were looking at the stars.

"So nice out tonight." Skye said.

"Sure is." Rocky said.

"What a crazy month we've had." Rubble said.

"I know dude." Zuma said.

"Yeah, Sweetie, Mayor Humdinger, the kittens, and a vengeful sorcerer took over Adventure Bay and we found out that our ancestors were just like us." Chase said.

"Yeah, along with some weird and crazy rescues." Marshall added.

"And Ryder getting a girlfriend." Skye added.

"Yeah, I know." Ryder said smiling.

"Do you think Almuzar will come back?" Rubble asked.

"I hope not." Ryder replied, "But if he does, we'll be ready. Well, good night pups."

"Night Ryder." the pups said.

And with that, the team fell asleep with the stars twinkling over them.

The End.

Author's note: Sorry this is late, but this chapter was a foe that didn't want to be beaten. I wanted the spirits of the teams' parents to show up, but I couldn't get the idea flowing. I might add them in another story. I'm also kicking myself for not adding Harold Humdinger(for those of you who've seen the Mighty Pups special) I might do a sequel to this story, but time will tell. Peace out!!
