Paw Patrol X: The Hearts of Truth

New Recruits arc Episode thirteen: The Traveling Bulldog

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathan Sharp's cover of the Overlord opening theme played with Charm's eyes opening after a transition of sorts. Flare was then shown jumping up in an open area with the sky all that was shown as Nathan Sharp is heard singing. "Can someone give me the (Flare punches at the screen with an excited smile) a-answer, (Marshall jumps up and kicks at the screen with a determined smile) to my (Richie jumps up and shoots at the screen with a serious look) que-estion? (Chase jumps up and back-kicks the screen with a serious smile) Where's my (Rocky jumps up and slashes the screen in half with a cocky smile) soul?"

A stream of grass was shown as the words Paw Patrol appeared on the screen from gun shots going though them, followed up by the X being made with two sword slashes as the music continued. The Hearts of Truth then appeared through a blazing flame going across them with the Paw Patrol then shown, leading up to Flare giving a peace sign as the song continued with the lyrics coming back.

Flare back flipped over one of Charm's soldiers and kicked him aside as the song continued. "It's like a virus in my body (Flare spins over to another soldier) while I'm (Flare punches the other soldier, making him fall down) dreaming. (Marshall is seen tripping as he runs off with some sort of package) When I wake up, all that's (Marshall scratches his head and laughs innocently as he looks at the screen with his eyes closed) left of me are bones."

Richie was shown shooting a soldier as the song continued. "I'm in a panic! (Richie kicks the soldier aside) Get out, (Richie shoots at the screen) hurry. (Chase is seen holding a hand mirror up to his butt as he admires it while shaking it) Oh there are mysteries, (Chase sees the screen and puts the mirror away, giving a serious look with a peace sign) and many miseries. (Rocky is seen roundhouse kicking a soldier to the floor) Dead of alive, I'm on the brink (Rocky grabs the soldier's face and farts into it) of self destruction."

Skye was shown to be back flipping over to her jet-pack as the song continued. "As I'm (Skye gives a peace sign after jumping up) roaming, (Skye lands by the jetpack and puts it on) from left to right to (Skye takes off with smoke covering the screen, with Zuma then seen surfboarding) An invitation, (Zuma gives a peace sign to the audience) to come disappear . (Snow comes onto the screen as she moves her hair back, seeming to have a cold persona) We're dancing one, two, three steps (Snow sees the screen and punches it out of frustration) on this dark stage."

Charm was then seen standing on a building with a sadistic and charismatic smile as he seemed to be saying something that couldn't be heard over the song. "Raise your flag, march and fight. Break your mask and show some pride! (The camera pans to behind Charm with the destruction of a city being shown) While this war just sends a shiver down my crooked spine. (Charm puts his arms out on their perspective sides) Wars and swords, tears and blood. Feel my heart begin to race. (Charm is seen laughing maniacally) As I laugh through this bloodbath we've made!" Charm clenches both of his fists as he tucks his paws onto his chest, glaring with a sadistic smile and crimson red glare.

Charm was shown to be fighting off Rocky in some sort of science office as Charm blocked his punches and kicks with ease. "Can someone give me the (Charm kicks Rocky back with Rocky holding his stomach in pain) a-answer, to my (Chase kicks open a vent and slides down it as Charm continues working on a computer of sorts) que-estion? (Charm grabs Chase's arm when he attempts to punch him and crushes it, filling Rocky with grief as he watches) Where's my soul? Where's my heart? (Charm roundhouse kicks Chase back at full force) Am I losing my own self?"

Rocky was shown looking at his sword in some sort of bus, seeming to be on edge about how the mission went. "Don't you hesitate, go this way-ay-ay. (Flare looks over at Rocky, seeing that he's feeling down about something) I don't know. And I don't care. (Flare puts his paw on Rocky's shoulder to comfort him with a smile) Tell me, are you not entertained now?"

Richie was shown to be punching at something with high speeds. "I'll just keep (Charm is shown to be blocking Richie's punches) surviving, (Richie aims one last punch at Charm, who dodges it, making Richie punch a wall) I just cannot hide it all. (Richie turns around and aims a kick at Charm, who blocks it and aims a punch at him) I am not to fall a victim, (Richie clenches his fist with anger) I'll continue living in this, (Richie prepares to aim a punch at Charm) misery driven (Richie aims a punch at Charm, covering up the screen) world!" Flare was shown looking over a cliff as he looks at a destroyed city, looking back on a teenage looking Kishu with a charasmatic yet devilish grin pinning him against a tree with his foot. Flare looked over the cliff with determination as the song ended with Paw Patrol X: The Hearts of Truth being shown above him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A forest was shown with a Bulldog puppy swinging on a vine and jumping off of it, landing on the highest branch of a tree. As he looked over the horizon, he saw Adventure Bay, which was a place he'd been looking forward to going for quite some time now. He seemed quite confident he'd fit in there and went into four leg mode as he commented on the place. "So that's Adventure Bay. Seems like a decent place to go. (A snake is shown on another tree) Though, I'm not gonna lie. I expected to see some more action in the air."

The snake dashed at the Bulldog, only for the Bulldog to look back with his butt being shown and release a five second flesh fart, hitting the snake with a green cloud (pfffffffffft). The snake backed up with the Bulldog chuckling as he commented on what he just did. "Well now Rubble. If you're gonna fart on someone who attempts to strike you down then at least make sure your butt doesn't do it too lightly. (The snake wafts the fart away) I think he's still got some energy in him."

The snake lunged at Rubble, who dodged his strike by putting his hind legs on the tree and flipping up to his neck. After he caught the snake, he swung him around for a bit as he taunted him a bit. "No worries. (Smacks his butt) We all fart." Rubble threw the snake aside and slid down the tree, doing a two finger salute as he walked off, seeming to have enjoyed the battle. "Cherrio my cold blooded friend. Until we meet again." Rubble ran off with the snake hissing before slithering off in frustration that a puppy just beat him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rubble was walking around Adventure Bay as he observed his surroundings, finding that the town had lots of life. This was a place he could get into. He wasn't at all fond of places that had almost no life to them, and he was glad to find a place that knew what it was doing. This was a place that wasn't at all afraid of social interaction and had quite a lot of fondness for kindness. One place in particular interested him quite a bit. It was the Paw Patrol tower, and he'd heard of the team and their choice of residence once before.

'So that's the Paw Patrol tower.' Rubble thought to himself, and when he found an open path he went through it, but then went into the trees. 'No reason I can't make an interesting introduction. After all, anyone can have fun with their first time meeting someone.' Rubble looked out from the trees and saw Flare, Marshall, and Chase with Chase pinning Marshall to the ground. Rubble didn't quite know what to make of it yet, but he decided to wait, as to not assume wrong.

Chase was sitting on Marshall's head with Flare and Marshall both laughing as Chase crossed his arms and grinned smugly with pride. Chase had just beaten Marshall in a wrestling match with the German Shepherd looking down at him. "You know the rules Marshall." Marshall held his breath with Chase grunting as he ripped a loud and bassy ten second rotten egg fart, hitting Marshall with a yellow cloud and making his butt vibrate a bit (BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP). "Ooh, that was a powerful one."

Chase got off of Marshall with Flare laughing as he covered his nose and Rubble snickering a bit at what he just saw. Flare saw him all of a sudden and he hid behind a tree, making Flare walk over with confusion. This caught Chase and Marshall's attention with Marshall speaking up. "You okay Flare?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I think I saw something though." Flare looked behind the tree to find that Rubble wasn't there, only for Rubble to land right on top of him. Flare saw Rubble slide off of him and skid on the ground a bit, surprising Chase and Marshall upon the sight of him. "Who are you, Solid Snake's dog?"

"No, but that'd be a fun opportunity." Rubble held his paw out for a fist bump as he greeted Flare. "Names Rubble old chap. (Flare fist bumps Rubble) I heard you guys would have some life in you, and from what I've seen so far you seem to be succeeding in that regard."

"Well it's nice to meet you Rubble." Marshall responded as he and Chase walked over to Flare and Rubble. "I'm assuming you came to audition for the Paw Patrol."

Rubble thought for a moment and then his stomach growled, indicating that he was hungry. "You got any food to help me think about that?" Marshall took out his phone and ordered a bunch of pizzas from it, leaving Rubble excited upon the menu. "Pizza, huh? America's masterpiece."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rubble was eating a pizza slice with Flare finishing his second pizza, leaving the Bulldog to laugh a bit at Flare's insane appetite. "I've seen gluttons before but if I see enough from this kid then I'll be surprised when he doesn't become the size of a whale." Rubble laughed a bit more and then he saw that Flare had even more pizzas beside him, at least twenty. "I'd be reeeally surprised if he didn't become the size of a whale."

Flare opened up his third pizza box as he responded to Rubble's statement. "Yeah, I never got behind my appetite either. I just love food a lot I guess." Flare chowed down on his third pizza and introduced himself when he was done. "Oh, my name's Flare by the way."

Rubble nodded with Marshall introducing himself and Chase, since Chase was getting into the chicken wings. "And I'm his older brother Marshall, and this right next to me, and the one you likely saw fart on me earlier, is our friend Chase." Marshall looked at the chicken wings and snatched one, eating it up with Chase smiling with approval at his sneaky abilities. "I learned from the best."

Flare and the others saw Skye flying around as she suddenly made a skid landing right next to Chase. "Hey guys I'm back from my flight." Skye noticed Rubble and dashed up to him, curious as to when he got here and who he was. "Who're you?"

"Name's Rubble. Don't wear it out." Rubble snarked with a smile, and then he bit into another pizza slice and saw Skye looking at her in an odd way. "Do you need help?"

"No, just trying to get a good idea of what you're all about." Rubble nodded in understanding and let Skye do her work, since it didn't bother him too much. Skye then got a full view of his personality and grabbed a pizza slice, dashing right up to Chase with a smile on her face. "I think I'm gonna like him."

Rubble chuckled a bit as Flare ate another box of pizza, leaving Marshall to wonder how Rubble got here. "So Rubble, how exactly did you get here? I don't think you would've come by car if you were hiding by yourself behind a tree over there."

"Keen eye Marshall." Rubble complimented, liking Marshall's awareness ability. "If you can believe it, I walked all the way here. I come from London, and I took a boat here to see what the place had to offer." Rubble ate another pizza slice and seemed surprisingly upbeat with his next words. "Of course, after my parents died, the orphanage I was at treated everyone like garbage. So I burnt it down, after freeing the kids of course."

Rubble's last words caught Flare's attention. Not the one about him burning down the orphanage, but the one about his parents. He found it quite surprising that Rubble didn't let the death of his parents get to him. It impressed him, but at the same time it made him a bit uneasy. He didn't think Rubble would mind him asking though. "Your parents are dead?" Rubble nodded his head yes with Flare smiling, getting the feeling Rubble wasn't crazy. "I like how you don't let that get to you. We need more beings like that."

"Tell me about it." Rubble ate another slice of pizza and then wondered if there was anyone else here he could meet. "Anyone else live here?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rocky, Zuma, and Runt were all outside with Rubble being inspected by all of them, leaving Runt especially excited about something. He was familiar with Bulldogs to some extent, and one particular feature about them was something he wanted to ask about. "So Rubble. Is it true that the crunched up face of a Bulldog is what makes them fart so much?"

Rubble laughed a bit, finding Runt's question to be a bit unusual. "Well my Beagle friend, I'll tell ya one thing for sure. We sure as heck aren't ashamed of it." That worked confirmation for Runt with Rubble then getting an idea and allowing his stomach to growl. When he was sure it would work, he ripped a ten second bacon fart, releasing a green cloud behind him (brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup). Runt whiffed the fart with Rubble being quite proud of it himself. "Pretty much everyone who tried has been outmatched."

Rocky scoffed and took the challenge Rubble indirectly gave to him, facing him with his butt turned around as it was shown with Rubble seeming curious as Rocky spoke. "Try this on for size." As Rocky's butt was shown with Rubble looking at it, Rocky ripped a loud and bassy thirty second rotten egg fart, hitting Rubble with a yellow cloud (BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP).

Rubble was blown away by the fart and found it hard to see, and while he wasn't moved at all, he was surprised by what he just witnessed and rubbed his eyes and nose as he laughed off the fart.. "Bloody hell mate! That's one impressive butt you've got there!"

Rocky rubbed his butt from the burn, loving it quite a bit as Zuma was shown wiping his nose. This confused Runt a bit, and Zuma flinched and made up a random lie. "Nothing important happening. No nose bleeds or anything."

Rocky and Rubble were talking as they walked down the cliff with Rocky boasting about his longest fart ever. "I recently did a fart that lasted for sixteen hours. If you wanna face a real challenge, try farting for hours straight without stopping." Runt gave a smirk to Zuma, who rolled his eyes at what Runt was most likely getting at.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Richie was looking over the roof of a building as he enjoyed the view of the town, sitting down with a smile on his face. He enjoyed doing this from time to time, and whenever there wasn't a mission to be done, he took the time to go ahead and give it a go. It always gave him a calm feeling inside to know that the town was okay. Just then however, a bunch of demons appeared behind him and he stood up and looked back at them. He turned around and did a two finger salute with a confident look on his face. "Let's rock."

Richie jumped over the roof and jumped off of the wall just as the demons jumped down, jumping over a flower bush and skidding on the ground a bit. He then took out his guns and prepared for when the demons appeared, which they did through portals. Richie dodged their strikes and shot them all in the face just as more showed up. Rocky and Rubble were walking by just as this happened, leading to Rubble catching eye of Richie taking care of the demons.

Richie grabbed one of the demons and slammed him into another just as another demon barely missed with his sycthe due to Richie kicking it into the air. Richie then shot the demon in the face and backflipped over another, shooting all of the demons and wiping them out. This led to Rubble being impressed as Richie made more graceful dodges, grabbing another demon and crushing his head. That one in particular was enough to catch Rocky's attention, giving him enjoyment at seeming the brutal deaths.

Richie kicked another demon into the air and shot it, making it explode as he walked off, having killed all of the demons. He then saw Rocky, as well as Rubble, and greeted them. "Hey Rocky. Who's your friend?"

"This is Rubble. And I think you'll easily catch onto the fact that he's a fart fan like me." Rocky explained with Richie looking at Rubble, who greeted him with a two finger salute. Richie found Rubble's aura to be quite pure, indicating that he knew he could trust him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rubble was sleeping on top of Runt's pup house for reasons that should be quite obvious with Runt shown having a pipe from Rubble's butt up to his nose. Flare was walking by when he saw this and removed the pipe, putting it up to his butt and ripping a five second garlic fart, sending a green cloud into it (brrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuup). Runt whiffed the fart and liked it a lot, making Flare giggle when he saw it. He then put the pipe back up to Rubble's butt just as Rubble woke up and saw it, confused as to how it got there. "What's this doing here?"

Rubble kicked the pipe down and walked off just as Runt woke up, stretching his arms and exiting his pup house. He'd gotten quite a good chunk of gas last night and was more than satisfied with it, not knowing the last one was from Flare. He walked inside with Rubble and started talking about the benifits of working with the Paw Patrol. "I think you'll really like joining the Paw Patrol Rubble. Assuming you do. There are all kinds of awesome missions to do."

"As long as it's a thrill ride I'm all for it." Rubble was quite the adventurer, which was quite obvious by now. He couldn't help but accept a challenge. He then met Ryder, who was walking by while playing a video game. "Ah, and you must be Ryder then. (Ryder looks at Rubbler) The pleasures, (Holds fist out) all mine."

"Nice to meet you too." Ryder replied as he kneeled down and fist bumped Rubble. "I'm guessing your that Rubble kid the others told me about."

"That's me alright." Rubble responded proudly. "Feel free to give me any kind of challenge you can throw at me too. I can take on anything you give me." Just then, a crash was heard outside and Rubble looked outside with a confident look. "So they're back then." Rubble ran outside with the others doing the same, having heard the crash themselves and wanting to see what it was.

Rubble was walking up to a White Shepherd in black armor as the White Shepherd glared at him with a serious look. Rubble didn't take this too seriously and just taunted the White Shepherd as he walked up to him. "Better hope you managed to get that power of yours to show at full force." Rubble went into two leg mode and kicked the White Shepherd back, starting the battle with the White Shepherd taking out his sword. When he dashed at Rubble, the Bulldog prepared himself and grabbed the sword with ease.

Rubble low sweeped the White Shepherd and threw the sword aside, grabbing the White Shepherd and throwing him aside. When the White Shepherd launched some kind of laser beam at Rubble from his wrist, he took it head on and got back up instantly. The White Shepherd was furious with Rubble picking up his sword and throwing it at him, striking him in the chest. This made the White Shepherd stop breathing and vanish, leading to Rubble clapping his paws.

Rubble looked back to see the others watching him and chuckled a bit as he gave his own comment on it. "Guess I couldn't hide it for that long. Not that I would want to anyway. (Turns around) I suppose this warrents an explination."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rubble was explaining what the White Shepherd wanted with him to the others while in the living room with them. "So that's basically the gist of it. I'm on the run from the London FBI and I'm living the way I can. I saw it as a good excuse to travel the world." Rubble took a sip out of a soda he got and figured the others wouldn't mind letting him crash here. "I'm actually starting to consider joining the team here. Could be a decent time, and I'm thinking of settling down somewhere after seeing places like France and Europe."

Flare and the others found Rubble's backstory really interesting with all of this context in it with Chase wondering how Rubble stayed on the run for so long. "So how did you manage to rebel against them for so long? Most others would've just lost to the FBI from the first moment they tried."

"Well Chase, before my parens died, they trained me in the ways of martial arts and durability." Rubble explained, having quite a bit of knowledge to give to his offsprings if he ever has any. "Maybe I'll pass it onto my kids. I can see that working out." Rubble flicked his cowboy hat up as he went into more detail. "Anyway, I have no idea what they want me for. Something about a fragment that relates to red and black blood, but I wouldn't know what that bloody sadism's all about."

Snow had just arrived after having heard about what happened, rushing up to Flare and the others. "I just got back from my studies on the Hearts of Truth. I came to see who the new guy was." Rubble gave a wave to Snow, who didn't find him all that impressive up close, but figured he couldn't be too much trouble. "Well we kept Rocky." Everyone else in the room started laughing with Rubble feeling as if he was going to like it here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rubble was looking around the lookout and seemed to find the place cozy enough for him to stay, and he was even considering joining the team. He didn't know how easy it would be to join though, so he decided to save his questions for now. He just wanted to relax in a new location that he could enjoy, with all kinds of thrills and fun times for him to have. Maybe he could even find some lost artifacts with the team. Yeah, that was something he liked doing. He also felt they'd like doing that quite a bit as well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ryder was driving up an icy mountain with Chase and Marshall with Rubble shown sitting in the passanger's seat of Marshall's fire truck. Marshall didn't mind Rubble tagging along in his truck, since he knew he could trust Rubble, even if he was a fugitive on the run. Rubble made himself comfortable as Marshall continued the drive with Marshall wondering if Rubble was okay with the travel. "You sure you're okay with coming along? You should probably know you won't be doing much of anything."

"Yeah, I'm fine with that. Mind if I put my feet up?" Marshall nodded his head no and Rubble put his feet up as he continued. "If I end up staying here in Adventure Bay then I'll need to know all the locations, you know what I mean? Be aware of my surroundings, even when it looks like I'm not gonna have a clue as to what's going on. I gotta be aware of what's happening, but at the same time have fun with it."

"Ah." Marshall caught onto what Rubble was saying and explained the mission to him so he was caught up. "I think you'll really like Jake's Mountain. Although it doesn't really seem like much, it's got all kinds of stuff. At least from what I know. I've actually never been here before, so it's a first time for me too."

Rubble chuckled a bit and felt the first time at Jake's Mountain would be an interesting first experience for both him and Marshall. "Should be a fun time then. Just make sure not to trip over anything." Marshall rolled his eyes while smiling, not minding any kind of banter aimed at him. If anything, he enjoyed getting it at some points. The four of them then arrived at the location with Marshall and Rubble hopping out. "Let's check this out."

Marshall and the others walked over to the scene with Chase taking out his goggles and looking for useful clues. Rubble took a liking to the fancy gadgets the Paw Patrol used, liking that they were always one step ahead of the system. Chase found some kind of fragment and pulled it out, not knowing what to make of it. "Odd. It looks like some kind of energy fragment." Rubble found the fragment to look quite familiar somehow, but didn't know how that was so.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rubble was looking hard at the fragment on the way back, still not quite sure why he felt he'd seen it before. Marshall noticed how hard Rubble was trying to figure out why he was familiar with the fragment, hoping it wasn't a dark thing from his past or something. Then again, Rubble isn't letting his dead parents bring him down, so it's not like this would be anything scarring or anything. "You okay Rubble?" Rubble looked at Marshall, who seemed concerned for him. "You've been looking awfully hard at that fragment there."

"I wish I could remember what it was all about." Rubble admitted, feeling like it was important. "I just get the feeling that it's something I saw once before and set out to find one time." Rubble started to wonder if this fragment had something to do with the Wastes, having heard about them before. "I heard of that group called the Wastes as well. If this is connected to them then it'd better not be for any kind of evil power or some junk like that."

Marshall got an idea on how he could help Rubble with his fragment, feeling like it would help his case. "Why not give it to Richie? He's always working on all kinds of devices for the gadget we're gonna use to find the Hearts of Truth. Maybe he can help here."

Rubble thought for a moment and felt it couldn't hurt too much, having met Richie the other day and seeming quite fond of him. "Sure, why not? It can't hurt too bad." Marshall went back to driving as a question then went to Rubble's mind. "What're the Hearts of Truth?"

"It's kind of hard for me to explain." Marshall admitted, which was understandable, since he'd only known them for about a month now. He did try to explain them though, with the veichles shown heading home. "See, when me and Flare got here, Richie became curious when he saw this wound Flare got heal on it's own."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marshall and Rubble were showing the fragment to Richie, who was looking at it and couldn't find anything familiar on it. He'd never seen it or heard about it himself before, so he felt he might have to do some more research on it. "Leave it here overnight. I should have an answer as to what it is tomorrow. Hopefully it's in one of my books."

Marshall and Rubble nodded, walking off as Marshall bidded Richie farewell for them. "Bye Richie. See you tomorrow." Richie closed the door with Marshall and Rubble heading home as Marshall assured Rubble everything would be okay. "Don't worry Rubble. Richie's a genius when it comes to this sort of thing. He'll be able to find out what that fragment is for sure."

"We should hope so." Rubble replied with a confident look on his face. "Maybe it'll reveal the reason people take adult comedies so gosh darn seriously all the time." Marshall and Rubble laughed as they ran home, knowing they'd have to get back before dark so they wouldn't miss dinner. After all, it was Zuma's night to cook, and he sure was the master.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some kind of secret base was shown with Charm's shadow shown as he ran on the rooftops to get to it. The guards looked up when Charm ran past them, but they didn't see him due to the fact that he moved too fast for them. When he arrived at the door, he jumped off the roof and jumped into the water, swimming up to some stairs and running over to a bush by the door. The other guards smelled Charm, since wet dog is pretty easy to smell, and they walked over to the bush to see if there was anything fishy there.

Charm took out his knife and stabbed one of the guard's in the heart, grabbing the other guard's gun when he missed a shot at him. He then shot the guard in the face and killed him, taking both of their wallets before running into the base. When he got in, he saw a vent and jumped up to it, kicking it open and having the intense wave of vent air take him off. His predictions were right. The vent's WOULD be able to help him out with his mission.

Charm saw the room he was looking for and stopped himself, kicking the vent open and jumping down. He held his knife out and taunted the guards before they fought. "You guys deppressed?" The guards all charged at Charm, who jumped up and dodged their attacks as he sliced all of their necks. They all fell to the ground and dropped dead, leading to Charm running up to the computer and turning it on to see what he could find. Just before he did his research on it though, he gave a call to someone with an earpiece. "Sweetie!"

A White Terrier was in some kind of room that had monitors showing all of the rooms of the building Charm was in. She was just sharpening her nails, no idea how a dog is able to do that, and when she got Charm's message, she was quick to respond. "Sweetie! Make sure there are no guards coming! As much as I love kicking butt we have to stay focused!"

"Right. Of course." Sweetie checked on the monitors and didn't see any guards coming for Charm, feeling he was able to make a swift enough entrance to avoid them. "I think you're good. I'll let you know if I see anything though."

"Roger that. Charm, out." Charm ended the call with Sweetie giving a sly look, knowing Charm quite well. Charm was researching something known as the Fragment of a Heart's Blood, checking to see if he could find something useful on it. When he clicked on a picture he found, it looked exactly like the fragment Chase found, crimson red with black marks on it. "This is going to be a good one for sure. (Charm wags his tail with excitement) Those hearts are mine." Charm grinned devilishly with enjoyment from how things were going as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dragon Ball Super Usubeni cover by Mark de Groot instrumental played during the credits as Flare was shown looking over a cliff with a determined look. Flare closed his eyes as he then thought about how he was going to contribute to the team. The music suddenly got more intense as Flare was then shown fighting off four members of the Waste's, seeming to have fun while doing it as he kicked one right in the face and made him fall back into another. Flare then slammed the heads of the other two in as he then looked into the woods to find Trickery standing there.

Flare and Trickery stood across from each other as the two of them prepared to engage in battle once Trickery threw one of his cards once a male voice was heard singing. "Farewell, (Flare dodges the card and charges at Trickery) beautiful lover. (Flare aims a punch at Trickery, who grabs his paw with little effort) I love you so, (Flare gets indimidated by Trickery's devilish stare) but still I let you go. (Flare gets determined and aims a kick at Trickery's side, which he blocks) Under this pink sky is where we went our (Trickery kicks Flare back) seperate ways."

Flare regained his balance from getting send back and blocked three more cards as the song continued. "I want you to (Trickery dash knees Flare in the stomach) know I love you, (Flare attempts to punch Trickery, who pins him against a tree by his neck before he can do so) so I won't let you go. (Trickery gives a calm but menacing stare into Flare's eyes, terrifying him) I wish I had (Trickery lets go of Flare and walks off with Flare then charging at him) said these words to you, (Trickery turns around) But I have left all these words unspoken."

Flare was shown looking over the cliff again as he stood tall and proud, determined to show himself better than Trickery. "Like pink petals start to fall. From the blossom tree so tall. (Flare catches a pink petal that falls from the tree he's under) And they dance to a, bittersweet, melody." Flare looked at the flower and looked back on some words Trickery said to him, smiling as he looked over the cliff again. As he looked over, the sunset was shown with an illustration as the song ended.
