*Down on the beach, the pups were busy getting a bit of a lecture from Captain Turbot about some pirate history.* Cap'n Turbot: I'm sure you pups know of some of the actions of pirates. Sailing the seas, plundering valuables, singing shanties, they were known near and far for the famous and infamous actions. But what some of you don't know is that there was a special ship that snuck something special near Adventure Bay. Rubble: Well, we obviously found the treasure of one before. Balloona X: Wait, what? Formula: You did? Chase: Oh right, we forgot to mention that. Balloona X: Well, tell us! Formula: Come on! Zuma: The dudes do deserve to know after all. Skye: Plus, we do need to make sure you two know about our past adventures anyway Formula: This sounds like it's gonna be an interesting story. I better get comfy... *Stares at Balloona for a bit until she noticed* Balloona X: Huh? Formula: Well Loony? *Leans closer to Balloona* Balloona X: Alright Alright, I'll do it. And I thought I was clingy... *Balloona began inhaling air as she inflated herself to the size of a puphouse. Formula then climbed up his bloated Collie and rested on her back close to head like a bean bag* Formula: Nice... Balloona X: Can’t see though… Formula: Hang on, Orby. ,He hopped off, turning her around before resting on her belly.* There we go. Skye: Hehe, looks comfy. Formula: Yep Skye: Hmm... *She softly turned her head to Chase.* Oh Chase... Chase: I think I know what you're thinking Skye. Who between us though? Skye: I don't mind if you're ok with it. Cap'n Turbot: *scratching his head in confusion* What are you pups possibly proposing? I'm a bit perplexed. Formula: Well... it was an accident mainly, but... it was a blessing in disguise per say. Cap'n Turbot: What was? Chase: We may've gained some powers... *He changed his tag logo to have a star balloon on it.* Skye: Indeed, and it's fun. *She changed her tag logo to a hot air balloon.* Balloona X: Yes but they do realize their power is part of them, they do have to keep changing their tag around... Chase: We know, but it's just more fun to switch it for the powers. Skye: This is where the fun happens. *She begins to slowly inhale a bit of air into her* Cap'n Turbot: Will this take a bit? Chase: At points, but I just know Skye loves to enjoy the experience every time. *Skye continued to inhale as she soon began to swell up, surprising Cap'n Turbot. Skye kept swelling up with her paws and head almost beginning to sink in as she was reaching Balloona's size and went a little extra, and she let out a proud giggle* Whoa! Now that is an extraordinary and exciting experience. Chase: Went a bit bigger than Loony, huh? *He cuddled against her belly, resting against it.* Skye: The student has become the master. Balloona X: Hehehehe yep Formula: So Cap'n Turbot, tell us about this treasure adventure? Cap'n Turbot: Well it all started as I was trying to document some pictures of the blue-footed booby bird and it's eggs. I had a chance to take the picture, but I ended up falling into a nearby hole and found myself in a cavern which turned out to be the secret pirate hangout of the famous Captain Blackfur. Seeing that there was no way out on my own, I called Ryder and the pups for help. After they arrived, we went to a opened that was blocked, but we managed to get through it. We found ourselves on the shore beach when we found a message in an old bottle. After Ryder called the rest of the pups, they saw that the message was a piece of the map with instructions to the rest of the pieces. Ryder and the pups left to find the treasure, as I stayed to look after the fascinating pirate paraphernalia in the hideout. Formula: Crikey, that's something... Balloona X: Did you find the treasure though? Rubble: It took a while, but we did. The first part of the map lead to a parrot shaped rock at the bottom of Jake's mountain. There was another bottle in it's beak and Skye brought it to us. That piece of the map lead us the largest tree in Adventure Bay. We spent some time looking through some trees, but luckily Little Hootie helped us find the other bottle. That piece led us to an off shore island with a Pirate ship. We managed to get the ship pulled to the shore as Mayor Goodway, Cap'n Turbot, and the citizens came over to see. Ryder and Cap'n Turbot found the treasure chest below deck and brought it up. Inside the chest was a bunch of gold, jewels, a golden dog bone, a fancy dog bowl, and a portrait of Captain Blackfur himself. He looked just me, except with a Blackfur beard. Marshall: We jokingly say Blackfur is Rubble's long lost ancestor because of it. Balloona X: Cool Formula: That sounded like quite the adventure. Balloona X: I wish we were there with you pups, but I guess we were waaay too late Ryder: Don't worry you two, I'm sure there's some other pirate treasure that could be found around here. Formula and Balloona X: Really? Cap'n Turbot: Believe it or not, I actually just found an odd map on my ship earlier today as well. It's known as "The Lady of the Lake's Bounty" and I've never heard of it until now. Rocky: Sounds like it might be in the water, so I'll pass. Marshall: Come on Rocky... Formula: It might just be a name... Rocky: Mmm... *Thought for a moment* Ok, fine. But if the map says anything about going into water, I'm staying out of it. Formula: As long as I'm out if it's in the ocean, we won't have a puff-pup-fish... is that what you called it? Balloona X: Come on let's go see that map already! Cap'n Turbot: Alright, let me get it *He went back to his boat, looking around until a clatter noise happened. When he came back, he had the map on hand and a bucket on his foot.* Ryder: Uh... Cap'n Turbot... *He pointed to Cap'n Turbot's foot* Cap'n Turbot: Huh? *He looked down to see the bucket as he tried to kick it off a few times before it finally flew off. He then opened the map and showed the team* Here we go, Pups All: Whoa! *They all were admiring the map as they saw some writing on it, and some landmarks* Formula: Wow... that's an interesting setup there. Balloona X: We got to find this treasure! Rubble: Maybe we can see if this treasure has another pup ancestor for us. Skye: Hehe, that'd be something. *She rolled a bit, allowing Chase to get off as she managed to see Katie.* Oh, hey Katie. What's up? Chase: Come to enjoy the beach a bit? Katie: I did, but then I heard the mention of treasure around here. That true? Cap'n Turbot: Why yes it is. Look *he then shows Katie the map as well* Katie: Wow, impressive... careful though, cause the mention of treasure may make the town go treasure hungry. Marshall: Don't worry, we won't. Until we find it, no one else is going find out about the secret treasure... *A few other people on the beach caught word of it, starting to run off to hunt.* Ryder: Well let's just try to figure this out first and see where to go. Zuma: Just a suggestion, but shouldn't we be better fit for this? Marshall: You mean our pirate theme uniform? Zuma: Yeah, why not? Balloona X: But we don't have Pirate themed uniforms... Ryder: We thought of that actually. Formula: Really? Ryder: Rocky and I were working in secret on making pirate uniforms for you two, just in case. Rocky: We figured since you joined, we didn't want you to miss out on the fun. Balloona X: Sweet! Formula: Let me guess… you did a bionic peg leg or something? Rocky: Huh, lucky guess Formula: No way… Balloona X: This I gotta see! Let's go! *As the team started heading off to the Beach Tower with the two gals still inflated, a transition with a new logo saw the main six in their Pirate Pup outfits.* Rubble: Feels great to have these old uniforms on Ryder: Especially now, since I modified all of your old and new uniforms to withstand your inflation ability now... so they can stretch out without any rips at all Skye: That's great! Marshall: I wonder how they'll like their uniforms... Rocky: Oh, I think they'll like 'em, very much... Zuma: Should we check on them? Ryder: Let's give them a little more time, then we check. Chase: It can't hurt to check our maties though. Ryder: You're right Chase. Let's go see if they're ok then. Skye: Agreed. *The team then went inside the Beach Tower to check up on their other teammates.* Ryder: Formula? Balloona? You two good? Both: Arrr! Chase: Guess you two got into character... show yourselves though. *then he can heard something behind the door* Uh I suggest we step aside Ryder: Probably a good idea. *He and Chase stepped aside.* Chase: Skye… you might want to move. Skye: Why, what's gonna happen? Chase: Trust me, just move! Skye: Huh? *Her ears perked up as the door opened up. From the door, out came 2 fur balloons rolling towards the team.* Whoa! Chase: Skye, move! *Skye jumped out of the way as the balloons rolled past her and she landed on Chase. Though she was safe, she still nuzzled Chase for a bit* Don't worry, I'm here for you *As Skye finished nuzzling, she got off of Chase as the fur balloons came to a stop and turned to show Formula and Balloona's head* Balloona X: Sorry about that Skye. Formula: Didn't know you were that close... Ryder: Were you two trying to test out the uniforms? Balloona X: I convinced him too, yeah. Formula: Yea, Hehehehe *he blushes* Skye: Deflate down and let's see the outfits fully. Balloona X: Ok. *They both then deflated back down as they showed off their pirate uniforms. Formula had a gold and silver mixed design on with a bandana on his head, half gold and half silver, his bionic paw was replaced with what resembled a metallic peg leg. Balloona had a blue and green uniform with an eye patch over her left eye with an X on it* How do we look? Formula: Do we look good? Ryder: Look perfect. Rocky and I even made your pegleg like your other paws. It has a few gadgets in it like a suction cup on a string to pull in other stuff and an extendable air hose for obvious reasons. Formula: Very impressive! Skye: It is. Be lucky it's waterproof too like your other paws. No need to worry about getting your paws wet on treasure hunts. Balloona X: That's great! *Pirate Accent* Now let's go find ourselves some treasure! Formula: *pirate accent* Let's do it! Ryder: Well first, we need to figure out the map. Cap'n Turbot, what's the first clue? Cap'n Turbot: Let me see... *He unrolled the map.* Chase: What's it say? Cap'n Turbot: It says, "To find the first mark for the secret bounty you crave, go find the hardened bear near the big cave". Ryder: Hardened bear near the big cave? Formula: We talking like a bear statue? Balloona X: I think it is? Chase: Then our first hint is to go to the woods. Ryder: Alright pups, set sail! *He led the four inside out to the others waiting on the beach.* Let's go pups, to the woods! Rubble: Where are we going? Balloona X: A large cave in the woods with a stone bear nearby. Marshall: Then let's hurry! *A transition of the new emblem showed the team arriving in the woods to see some of the citizens looking around while carrying shovels* Uh... What's going on? Zuma: Some dudes on the beach must've overheard the hunt for treasure and thought it'd be like Outlaw Wild Wilbur's in the woods... Balloona X: But they don't know where to look exactly. Formula: We do though... shame Everest weren't here to help out, she'd probably know... Marshall: W-Well... we might be able to find it ourselves... Ryder: Let's split up and try to find the first mark. Pups: Right! *Everyone then went in seperate directions to try and look for the first mark.* Marshall: Going alone... really hope that we can find this quickly without Everest needing to be called. I still have to get the surprise ready for her... *Marshall continued to look around but was a bit lost in thought that he didn't notice the pebble that he tripped over. He then rolled for a bit before stopping upside down under a rock that broke his fall* Marshall: I'm... ok. New definition of rock and roll there though. *He slowly adjusted himself, shaking his head. He then got up to correct himself, as he soon found himself staring into what appears to be a bear's face. He jumped back in fright to see that it was actually a bear shaped rock.* Marshall: Phew... it's just a rock... that looks like a bear? *The scene then cuts to show Ryder as he was searching around in his area while also seeing that there were more people with shovels about* Ryder: There's a lot of people searching here. I feel Drift would've cracked a joke sooner or later... *then his pup pad started to rings. He answered his pup pad to see Marshall* Marshall: Ryder... I found it! Ryder: Great, just... *He looked up, turning the volume down on the pup pad.* Ok, go ahead. Marshall: It was a bit by accident, but I found the bear shaped rock. Ryder: Alright... I'll rally the pups and the captain over. Try to hang in there though. Marshall: I'll try my best here Ryder: Good. *he ends the call between them, then proceeds to call the others* All other pups: Yes, Ryder sir!? Ryder: Marshall found the spot. All other pups: Really?! Ryder: I'm sending all of you the coordinates where Marshall is *Ryder taps on his pup pad a few times as a transition of the new emblem showed them arriving at Marshall's location* Chase: We're here Marshall, so this is where our next clue is? Marshall: Yep *Marshall then led the team to the bear shaped rock he found* Formula: Well, that is convincing... be glad Everest weren't around to see you freak out a bit. Marshall: It just startled me... Balloona X: It's alright Marshall, don't feel bad. Marshall: I guess... Ryder: Well come on pups, let's head in and find any clues Chase: Right. *Barked* Flashlight! *The side of his pup pack opened up as the spotlight came out and turned on, lighting up the cave for them* Ryder: Let's move quickly. Pups: Right *They all entered the cave and began looking for clues. For a while they didn't seem to find anything, yet* Rocky: Anyone find anything? Rubble: Nothing over here... Zuma: Same for me... Balloona X: *started to feel tired* Man, finding a clue is so tiring now, I need a break... *she put her paw on the wall and push on something. She looked in concern and wonder as the wall next to her slid open, revealing a hidden passage* Formula: Nice job, Loony. Balloona X: I mean... I meant to do that. *she nervously laughed abit as she blushes* Ryder: This must lead us to the next clue. Come on, pups! *The pups peered into the tunnel, beginning to head in.* Formula: This is getting interesting. Balloona X: Yeah. I just hope there are no traps down here Formula: I'm sure it will be fine here... Balloona X: I hope so... Chase: Cap'n Turbot... did you do anymore research on this treasure though on who may've buried it? Cap'n Turbot: Well I tried to look into it a bit. Unfortunately I was unable to unveil the mystery behind it. Chase: Bit upsetting there... Cap'n Turbot: I'm really sorry about that. Balloona X: It's ok, you tried. Formula: Yeah, we'll probably figure it out... Balloona X: We just need to be careful here and look for any clues? *They continued along the passageway until they reached a blocked exit* Rubble: Huh? What's the deal with this exit? Zuma: This pirate dudette must've blocked it off. Balloona X: How can we get through then? *Everyone began to look around to see how they can move it* Formula: Hey! *Formula went to the side to which got their attention* There is a small opening right here, we can move all this out of the way if we had something small enough to fit through. *Everyone then stared at Formula before he took notice* Formula: Uh... what's with the looks? Balloona X: I think you need to go through. Skye: I mean... *She walked over to stand beside him.* You might be a bit longer, but you are smaller than me. Formula: What?! Rocky: Got to take one for the team, Formula. Balloona X: Come on Formula, you can do it Formula: Ohhh... fine. *He sighed, going over to the gap and looking around before slowly crawling through.* Please no bats in here... *Formula continued to crawl through as the rest of them waited outside for him* Balloona X: Formy? You ok over there? Formula: I mean... I have some cobwebs on me, and a bit of dust... *His nose began twitching, starting to feel a sneeze creep up.* Ryder: Uh oh... Everyone, move! *The others ducked for cover, waiting for the result but it never came.* Formula: I-I'm alright. All: Oh. Balloona X: For a second there, I thought you were gonna... Formula: S-Sneeze? I'm h-holding it right now... Ryder: Try to get the door unblocked and quick then. Formula: *straining* Alright. *Formula continued to crawl through, while holding the sneeze as best as he could.* C-can't sneeze... Balloona X: C'mon Formy... *He persisted through, until he managed to finally get to the other side* Formula: *straining* T-Through... n-now what? Ryder: Try to find a way to move the blockage out. *Still straining, Formula quickly looked around for anything that could help, when he took notice of a strange looking stalagmite nearby* Formula: *straining* G-Got it... *He went over to the stalagmite, his eyes watering.* Ahhh... *He quickly placed his paw on the stalagmite a bit before it shifted back with a click like sound. The blockage between them then rolled to the side as they all saw* Balloona X: You did it Formy! Formula: I... I... ahh... Balloona X: Yike! *She quickly covered his muzzle with her paw.* Too close... Ryder: You can say that again. What even is this place though? *They all looked around to see a few strange carvings on the walls with a small gleaming shine at the end of the passageway* Chase: Found something. Rubble: Potentially the next clue? Marshall: Maybe... how's Form holding up though? Balloona X: You good? *She slowly removes her paws away from Formula's muzzle* Formula: For now. Skye: I'm amazed you holding in that sneeze didn't inflate you. Balloona X: Aww... *Looks at Formula in a bit of disappointment* Formula: What? *He stared back as his nose twitched again, beginning to prep a sneeze again.* Ahh... ahh... Balloona X: Here we go again... *She covered his muzzle on cue, causing his sneeze to puff him up to a puphouse sized ball.* There's the result. *Balloona took her time to nuzzle her puffed lab for a bit* Ryder: You coming Balloona? Balloona X: Give me a moment here... Chase: Getting your cuddles in now? Balloona X: Yes, Hehehehe. Ain't I a stinker? Skye: Looks like fun though... Chase: We can go for it later. For now let's see where this leads us. *They left Balloona and Formula for some time to themselves as they continued on. At the end of the passageway, they saw a glimmering body of water in the middle of a large room as Rocky backed away slowly* Rocky: Nope! nope, nope, nope, nopeitty nope! Ryder: Just try to stay back unless we need you Rocky, don't worry. Rocky: Ok Ryder. Ryder: Maybe there is another clue here or something. Look around Chase: Right away, Ryder sir! *so all the pups except Rocky look around for any clues* Zuma: Hey dudes... there's something stuck at the bottom of the water. *They all look to see what Zuma was looking at. It appeared to be some sort of chest.* Ryder: You're right. Let's try to get it out. Zuma: I don't have my scuba gear, and it looks wedged down there. Rocky: S-Sounds like we'll need someone who can hold their breath quite well... Ryder: Or get one of those special balloons when we got the statue out of the ocean. *They were thinking for a moment until Balloona came by, rolling the still inflated Formula* Balloona X: Sorry guys, I just really wanted some time with Formy. *They notice that everyone else was staring at them* What? Did we miss something? *she looked around then let out a sighed* Ok ok, fine... Formula, you can deflated yourself now Formula: Great. *He then deflated back down* So, what's up? Ryder: We need your help with this. Balloona X: What is it? Zuma: Who's better at holding their breath between you two? Balloona X: Technically both of us can hold our breath together equally Formula: Why? Ryder: Well... *A transition with Balloona's tag saw the two pups in the water.* So you both understand the plan, right? Balloona X: I go down with the rope, tie it to the chest, then to Formy... Formula: Afterwards, I activate the air hose on my peg leg to blow up and resurface? Ryder: Good, so let's do it Formula: First though... *barks* Air hose! *Part of his leg leg opened up as a hose came out and went to his mouth* Rocky: All you have to do is bark to activate it... especially when underwater! Balloona X: Got it. Deep breath Formy... *they both took a deep breath as they then dived down. After some time, they swam to the chest as Balloona began to quickly tie one end to the chest side. She then tied the other end to Formula's paws. When both ends were secured, she gave a nod to Formula. He nodded, letting out a muffled bark as bubbles escaped his mouth. he was soon puffing up as air began to leave the peg leg and entered him. After some time, he reaches the size of 2 puphouses as the chest was moving a bit. Balloona swam down to give a few nudges as the chest popped out and Formula rised above the water's surface as Balloona followed and took a while to catch her breath* Zuma: Nice going dudes! Rocky: Not nice going... *He was dripping wet from the resurface.* I'm soaked in yucky water! Formula: *spat out the hose as he retained his size* Sorry mate, couldn't control it. Balloona X: That was scary though... *She licked Formula's puffy cheek.* But at least we got the treasure chest. Ryder: Good jobs, pups *Balloona then pushed her pup to the side as they pulled on the rope and brought the chest up* Cap'n Turbot: Let's see what's in this chest. *He set the chest aside, opening it to reveal a stone tablet.* Ryder: A stone tablet? Rubble: Why was that buried? Cap'n Turbot: It's the second part to find the treasure. Skye: It is? Cap'n Turbot: Yes. Let me read it... *He took some time reading it* Hmm... It says "You found the first half that will help you in aid, through the eyes of the bear you will find the blade". Formula: What blade? Blade of a sword? Cap'n Turbot: It's possible. Rocky: Hey, there's something else inside. Balloona X: Huh? *The seven normal pups looked in as Formula wiggled on his back.* Formula: What is it? I can't see! *Ryder reached into the chest and pulled out what appeared to be a broken half of a metal coin* Ryder: Looks like a coin. Chase: A broken coin. Ryder: It looks like it has an image... Of a hilt? Formula: I think I got it... we need to go back to the bear statue and look where it's looking. Balloona X: Good idea Formy, but first... *She leapt over, glomping his belly and causing him to start rolling back down the tunnel.* Chase: Seems another scenario... hug your partner while they're rolling. Skye: Hehehe, she always finds new and fun things to do. Chase: Probably be flat though... Skye: Why? Chase: I mean... Skye: Oh right... Ryder: Well... Let's go pups! Chase and Skye: Come on Balloona X and Formula Rubble: Didn't they already start down the tunnel? Ryder: Let's make sure they didn't get stuck on the way... Rubble: Right... *The rest of the team started heading back. A transition with Formula's tag saw the big balloony lab roll out of the side tunnel, bounce around the cave before stopping at the entrance.* Formula: Phew... that was something. You alright Loony? *He looked around for a second.* Loony? Where are you girl? *A small tickling sensation came under his belly.* Balloona X: *muffled* Down... Here... Formula: Huh? *Formula rolled back to see his lovely Collie plastered like a poster on his belly. He deflated back down as Balloona flopped off him and to the ground* Balloona X: How the tables have turned. Formula: Hehehehe, sorry Balloona X: Now I know what it's like to be a poster pup... *She inhaled, popping her figure back.* Formula: You did look cute though. *He got close and nuzzled her for a bit as the rest of the team met up with them* Balloona X: Oh hey guys, you made it Marshall: Can see you rolled out easily. Formula: Hehe, yeah. Ryder: Alright, let's see where to go next. Formula: So the bear... *He rolled over, adjusting his head to be level with its eyes.* Let's see where this bear is looking at... *Formula took a moment to see in the bears direction* Balloona X: So? Formula: Looks like... it's a rocky area in a way. Rocky: Wait... isn't that the cliffs where Humdinger made the carving? Formula: Look like it... Ryder: Let's move out pups. *He looked down, seeing numerous holes where people dug.* Formula: Uh Ryder, should we tell everyone to stop digging around... Ryder: It would be for the best. Chase... Chase: On it *barked* Megaphone! *The side of his pup pack opened up as a megaphone was extended out to the side of him* Attention folks! Citizens: Huh? *They stopped digging for a moment and turned their attention to Chase* Chase: The treasure isn't around here! We advise you stop digging holes! We know you all want to find the treasures, but unfortunately this treasure hunting is abit too dangerous for all of you here. So it's best to let highly trained pups like us handle this Citizens: Aww... *They picked up their shovels as they left in a fit of disappointment* Ryder: Sorry folks. Better safe than sorry. Marshall: They'll thank us later. Rubble: Let's be on our way... Ryder: Then let go, pups *They then began walking as a transition of the new emblem showed them at the location to look around a bit.* Rubble: Formula... Is that you in the carving? *They all looked up to see the craving* Balloona X: Wow! Looking good... Formula: Y-Yeah... *He blushed a bit, lowering his head to hide a bit.* Balloona X: Hey, don't be embarrassed. I think it looks nice. *She approached Formula and gave a reassuring nuzzle* How is this possible? Formula: I have my ways... Ryder: There's gotta be something around here somewhere... Rubble: But where? Balloona X: Let's look around the place *They all began to search around for any possible clue. For some time they didn't find anything until Rocky got close to the base of the hill to see something off with the wall* Rocky: Huh? Ryder: Something up? Rocky: Found something I think. Ryder: What is it? Rocky: The formation on the side looks weird. Ryder: Really? Rocky: Yeah. *He went over, looking at the cliffside.* See, look Cap'n Turbot: Looks like a false door. Balloona X: Why's there a false door here? Formula: Most likely the next clue. Balloona X: Maybe... Formula: Let's find out... *He felt the door, feeling it loose a bit.* Hmmm, it feels loose.. Ryder: Try pulling it down. Formula: On it Balloona X: How ya gonna move it? Formula: I got an idea. *barks* Suction cup! *His pegleg had the end extend into a dome shape as a line appeared before the end fired, sticking to the wall.* Got it! Balloona X: Try to retract it now. Formula: *bark* Retract! *The line started pulling the plunger back as the door started coming forward, until it fell down quick.* Ryder: Heads up! Balloona X: I got it! *She inflated up to catch the door before it squashed some of the others.* Formula: Nice catch, Loony. Balloona X: Not letting my pup get postered. *They all moved out the way as Balloona then slowly got out from under and let the door fall harmlessly on the ground* Formula: Alright... set there. *His suction cup retracted fully, changing his pegleg back to normal.* Ryder: Now let's see what's in here. Balloona X: Right *she deflate back down to normal size. They then made their way inside to see what they will find. It started to get darker as they continued further in* Formula: *nervously* woah... A lot darker than I thought... Chase: I got this. *Barked* Flashlight! *The side of his pup pack opened as a spotlight extended outward and shined forward, lighting up the way* Balloona X: You're not afraid of the dark though Formy... Formula: Just... bats... potentially, is all. Balloona X: I'm here, so don't worry. Formula: Alright... Balloona X: Just stay close to me, Formy Formula: Don't have to tell me twice... *He stuck to Balloona's side like glue. Balloona giggled a bit as she enjoyed Formula next to her. They continued on as they came across a strange large room with a lowered ceiling, with enough space to crawl under.* Skye: Odd room... why is the ceiling so low? Ryder: No idea, but let's try to be careful here Formula: But how? Chase: Yeah... *He looked down, seeing one giant circle on the floor.* Ryder: What is it Chase? Chase: Look over here... *They all looked at what Chase saw* Ryder: A giant gray and black circle? Balloona X: Hmm... *She and the others looked at Formula.* Formula: Not again... Balloona X: Formula, it matches with your fur colors Formula: I've already blown up twice in the past half hour. Balloona X: Please Formy *she doing a slight pup eyes look* Formula: Nope, not this time. *He turned away.* Balloona X: Hmm... How about this, if you do this for us again just this one more time, you can use whatever default shape you'd like on me or puff me up however you want when we get back. It only seems fair. What do you say, Formy? Formy: Ohhh... *He turned back, seeing Balloona and Skye do the eyes as he sighed.* Fine... move aside though. Balloona X: Alright... *Everyone then moved away from Formula and got close to the walls as he was readying himself* Formula: Alright... here goes... better hope this works... *Formula began to inhale deeply as he was inflating and touched the ceiling. He continued to inhale as the ceiling began to move up a bit* Ryder: It's working! Keep it up! Balloona X: Come on Formy! You can do it! Formy! Formy! Formy!... *Formula continued on as the ceiling was rising and he kept inflating. Soon enough he reached the size of about 2 puphouses as the ceiling reached the top point where the beginning of the writing was visible* Ryder: Alright, you're good there Formula. Balloona X: Just hold it there until we read the clues *Formula held his breath as they look at the writing* Cap'n Turbot: Hmm... It says "You reach this point so you're halfway there, find this secret spot to get the reward fit for my heir" *next to it they see an image of a pedestal near a lake surrounded by stone pillars.* Ryder: "My heir?" Zuma: So this dude is an ancestor to one of us? Rubble: But who? Chase: There's something else there. *He pointed to an indent with half of a coin inside* Is that...? Ryder: The other half of the coin... *He reached in, pulling it out.* Cap'n Turbot: So now we just have to find this location, wherever it might be. Zuma: Looks like a lake surrounded by stone pillars... where was that though? Ryder: We might be able to find it if we get a better look in the air... Skye? Skye: On it! *She left the air first as the others followed.* Balloona X: Formy, come on. *Formula let go of his breath as he returned to his normal size and the ceiling dropped to the previous level. He then followed the others out as a transition of Skye's emblem showed them outside again* Rocky: All set Skye? Skye: Ready! *Barked* Wings! *A set of wings popped out the sides of her pup pack as 2 small jet engines came out from behind and propelled her in the air. She then began to look around for the lake and stone pillars* Formula: Looks like we wait for a bit... *He laid down for a bit.* Balloona X: Feeling tired already? Formula: From what I've been through today... How can I not be?! Balloona X: You don't often tire out easily though... *She softly rubbed his back.* You feeling alright? Formula: *sighed* Just not used to going that long going back and forth between sizes so quickly and for long. Balloona X: Well, you know you can just relax with me when it's over. Beside, at least your body can handle it more often Formula: Could be worse... Balloona X: How? Formula: Could be still at that garage, pretty much alone... Balloona X: Oh dear... you mean like, if we never meet you at all, you'd still be alone and never unlocked your true self? Formula: Kind of... Balloona X: *sigh* You're not the only one here... Formula: How so Loony? Balloona X: Because if I never meet the Paw Patrol at all or even Katie, I'd still be a lost pup with no memory, no use, and still be alone by myself... Formula: Oh Loony... *He softly raised his head, nuzzling it against hers.* You upset is something I hate seeing and hearing. Balloona X: Same here with you too, Formy *The 2 pups then hugged and nuzzled each other affectionately as their sorrow faded away. After a while Skye returned to their location* Skye: Guys! I think I found it! Ryder: Where is it? Skye: Follow me! *She then flew ahead a bit as the group followed her. A transition of the new emblem showed them at the outside of a large area surrounding trees as Skye then landed near them It's through here. They then went through the trees for some time until they came across the spot* Ryder: There it is! Rubble: What do we do now though? Ryder: Let's see what we can find. *They all then searched the area for whatever they could find. Cap'n Turbot took an interest in the pedestal and checked it out for a second.* Cap'n Turbot: Huh? Hey Ryder, come check this out. *Ryder hurried over to see the pedestal had markings on it of the pillars, lake and a circular slot in the middle* Ryder: Wait, is that a.... *He then pulls out the 2 halves of the coin, one with a hilt and one with a blade. He puts the pieces together and it shows a full image of a sword* Cap'n Turbot: Hmm, I wonder. Formula: Wonder what? Ryder: Maybe the coin is supposed to go here. Cap'n Turbot: Let's see... *Ryder then placed the coin into the slot of the pedestal. After a moment, the pedestal sank into the ground a bit as the lake was bubbling from something that was rising up. A small stone bridge with a circular platform, and 2 chests in the middle rose above the water an match the ground level. Everyone stared in amazement at what happened* Pups: Whoa! Cap'n Turbot: This looks to be the treasure. Ryder: Incredible. Let's see what it is. Formula: We'll find out who the heir is for this... *They walked down the bridge and approached the chest on the left first.* Rubble: What could be in here? Ryder: Let's see. *He then opened the chest to reveal it was filled with valuable coins* Whoa! Balloona X: So much silver and gold coins here Cap'n Turbot: This has to at least be from the medieval era or so. Formula: Whomever this heir is, they sure are lucky. Ryder: Indeed. *He walked over to the second chest, opening it to peek for a bit.* Hey Formula, come here real quick. Formula: Huh? *He then went to Ryder to the other chest* What is it? Ryder: Look at this Formula: Huh? *He looked in for a bit, turning around in shock.* Uh... Balloona X: What's wrong? Ryder: I think I found out who's the heir... *He opened the chest fully as the others joined. They all saw that the chest contained a small armor with a portrait of an inflated female labrahuahua with said armor. They all were amazed by what they are seeing* Formula: You mean... I'm the heir... of "The Lady of the Lake?!" Balloona X: Oooh... *Her tail wagged like a blur in delight.* That explains a bit now, but you better dig up some family history now! Formula: This... This is unbelievable... Balloona X: I'll say. So incredible! Ryder: Also... looks like the armor's in here too... *All of them looked to Formula as a transition with the new Pirate emblem had them back at the Beach Tower with the treasure.* Alright Form, you set now? Formula: I feel silly... Balloona X: Come on Formy, be like your ancestor for once Formula: I'm not cowardly if you're calling me that... *He stepped out, having the armor on him, adjusting the visor on his helmet to see.* I look silly too, huh? Ryder: Not at all. You look great. Balloona X: And cute! *She walk up to Formula and cuddling right next to him* Formula: Probably not comfy to cuddle a hunk of metal, huh? Balloona X: A little... But I don't care. Cap'n Turbot: Very odd though... it's like some kind of prototype rubber, mixed with the metal. Skye: I think Formy should recreate the picture, hehe. Formula: Come on! I blew up 3 times already today! Balloona X: *stared at Formula with puppy eyes* Pwease? One more time? Formula: *he tried to resist looking for a bit before letting out a sigh* Fine... But you owe me "big" time! Balloona X: Yay! *She decided to lay under him though, looking up with a smile. Formula then began to inhale deeply as he began to inflate himself. His head and paws began to sink as he soon stopped inflating to match the size of his ancestor in the portrait, which was about one and a half the size of a puphouse* Mmm... this is perfect. Chase: It's a spitting image. Formula: Well... to be honest, the suit does feel more comfortable when I inflated myself Balloona X: Oh really? *She smirked, softly leaning closer.* Formula: Loony... Chase: I think she likes you more now... Skye: Alot more Balloona X: A ton more! *She kissed him, blowing more air as the others watched.* Skye: Be lucky Form. *Formula let out a muffled groan as he continued to inflate from the puffs of his Collie* Cap'n Turbot: Well, it's best I head off for now. You pups have fun. Ryder: Thanks for helping adventure Cap'n Turbot. See ya. *After a moment of waving bye, Cap'n Turbot left the Beach Tower as Balloona continued to puff up her lab* Skye: It's cute to see... *She turned to Chase with a smile.* Chase: It's only fair. Skye: Yay! *She went over, laying down under him as she started to puffkiss him too.* Zuma: This team literally has gotten quite huge, dudes... Ryder: Hehe, yes it has. Marshall: Shocking though... Rocky: Still nervous for Everest? Marshall: A little... I just want to make sure that it's good enough when she finds out. Zuma: She'll love you no matter what dude, even if she's not inflatable like us yet. *He pointed to the two puffy pups. the 2 gals were seen snuggling their puffy partners as Chase and Formula tired their best in nuzzling their partners* Marshall: Yeah... You're right. She'll love it. Rocky: Besides, she may make you huge! Marshall: R-Really? *He started visualizing some sizes the husky could make him.* Hehehehe... Ryder: Hehe, this is gonna be a great time for you pups. Rubble: You said it. *He snacked on a few treats, watching the two gals give their puploons attention.* Balloona X: I love these moments... Skye: Me too... Both: Hehehehe Chase: Anything for my high-flying cockapoo. Formula: You know you still owe me big time, Loony... Big! Balloona X: Knights honor… puffy knights honor! *A transition with Balloona's tag had her looking over the ocean, sighing as Formula approached.* Formula: What's wrong Loony? Balloona X: Just... thinking about what my family line could've been like. I can't even remember what happened in my past except me waking up from some kind of nap Formula: I may have to consult my family, if I ever see them again, about my history... for now though... time to puff up the pirate. *Balloona looked back at Formula and let out a giggle a bit. They both then shared a kiss before Formula began to puff air into the Collie* Balloona X: Argh, foiled by the finest pup knight ever! Formula: With my Knight's code, I was able to capture the puffiest pirate in all the seven seas. Balloona X: I just wanted the finest treasure there was! Formula: So was I... Both: And it was you! *Formula then embraced the puffy pup in cuddles and nuzzles affectionately as they enjoyed their time together* Balloona X: Big enough? Formula: I might make my precious jewel bigger... Balloona X: It's your treasure, after all. *She giggled, getting another kiss and more air as her lab puffed her bigger and bigger. Inside the Lookout though, Formula had set up the armor on a stand and hung the picture in his room. Seems after the puff session, some family roots need to be found out later on...* The End
