7It was just a normal day for Carlos, just digging around in the jungle with tracker at his side. Carlos usually doesn't find anything, and when he does its either trivial or just another fossil for the museum. Today, though he found something, interesting. It was a glowy green mineral which he had never seen nor heard of before. Carlos didn't know what to do, he wanted it to go in the museum, but he didn't know if it did anything. Tracker had no idea what it was either and after a while of looking at it and trying to figure out what it was, they scooped it into a bag and tried to get a better look. To no avail, there was only one thing left they could do.
"We need to call the Paw patrol." Tracker and Carlos said at the same time.
At the lookout the pups were playing horseshoes in three groups of two. Rocky was with Zuma, Chase was with Marshall, and Skye was with Rubble. Marshall was up and Marshall being Marshall tripped on the pile of horseshoes and was sent flying up and landing with his legs around the horseshoe pin.
"Well Marshall, you got something around it at least." Rocky joked.
Right then is when Ryder got a call from Carlos asking him about the mysterious glowing green mineral.
"I'll see if Cap'n Turbot knows anything about it, bring it over here so i can show him." Ryder told Carlos before hanging up.
Ryder was now just as curious as Carlos was. He, just like Carlos know absolutely nothing about this strange mineral. Ryder thought long and hard about it before Carlos got to the lookout with Tracker and his jeep.
"Hola amigos!" Tracker said as all the pups ran towards him and Carlos.
After a few seconds of greeting the pups Carlos walked over to Ryder who was just now coming out of the lookout.
"So where is this, thing you found?" Ryder quickly asked Carlos
"It's in the back of Trackers jeep, we put the bag it was in, into a box to make sure nothing happens to it." "Or us" Carlos nervously told Ryder.
"Well let's bring it to Cap'n Turbot and see what he can figure out, lets tell the pups what's going on and see if they want to tag along." Ryder said quickly.
Ryder wanted to get this to the Cap'n ASAP so he did all of this very fast. The pups all ended up going with Ryder, everyone wanted to know what this mysterious thing was.
"Oh hiya Ryder, what brings you an your perky Paw patrol pups to present yourselves to me and my favorite floating flounder?" The cap'n said after Ryder, Carlos and the pups got to there destination.
"We want to know if you know anything about this." Ryder said as he pulled out the mysterious green mineral.
Cap'n Turbot gasped and almost passed out.
"That's the terribly troublesome Mignonette Stone, any pup who touches it's great glowing green surface will be forever stuck in a state of stumbling stupidity!" The Cap't said so quickly it took a bit to process.
Carlos, after processing all of what Cap'n Turbot had just blurted, said "Boy am i glad we had it in a box."
"Well if it's so dangerous we should keep it somewhere no pup can get there paws on it."
"Let's go" they all said.
Back at the lookout, the pups couldn't help but fantasize about what a pup would do if they touched the stone. Except for Chase due to him not believing in stuff like that.
"How would anyone know that? If they were stupid they wouldn't be able to tell the stone did it." Chase had said sternly.
None of the other pups paid any attention to Chases disbelief, they were to busy with their own stories about the stone.
"So where should we put it?" Carlos asked Ryder.
"Maybe we should put it back in the jungle, there aren't any pups that it could affect in the jungle." Ryder suggested.
"Except for Tracker." Carlos joked. "I guess we should just bring it back to the jungle, don't want to risk any pups getting affected by it."
"Well in that case you should go and say goodbye to the pups." Ryder pointed out.
Carlos went and told tracker that they were about to leave, so they told the pups they were leaving and got into Trackers jeep.
"Adiós amigos, see you soon." Tracker said as he got in his jeep.
Carlos put the Mignonette Stone in the back of the jeep and hoped in. Tracker was a little nervous to be driving with the stone right behind him, knowing what it could do if he made a single big mistake while driving, he knew it was in a box, but that didn't stop him from fearing what could happen. He didn't tell anyone though, and it doesn't seem like anyone is taking notice, so Tracker put it aside as he started his jeep.
Little did he know that the big mistake he would make wouldn't effect him but his friends.
All of the pups were side by side, very close to each other while watching Tracker and Carlos leave.
"Well today has been interesting." Rubble said slowly
"I still refuse to believe that a green rock can make a pup stupid, just by touching it, I bet it's just some old myth."
All the pups shook there heads as Tracker hit the gas pedal, maybe a little too hard as the Mignonette Stone launched out of the back of trackers jeep and out of the box slamming against the ground breaking into multiple little shards and ended up hitting each and everyone of the pups.
The effect didn't work instantaneously it took a few seconds for it to kick in but when it did the effects were not very good.
Ryder, who decided to go Into the lookout as Tracker and Carlos were leaving didn't notice what happened, but Tracker heard the stone break, not knowing what it was, they quickly turned around to go investigate to there surprise they found glowing green shards scattered around the yard with 6 pups that had been hit by the stone.
"Oi oi oi" Tracker said, scared out of his mind
"We gotta tell Ryder!" they both screamed as they ran into the lookout.
Lucky for them Ryder hadn't gone up the elevator yet. He was just at the lobby about to fill up the pup food to put into their bowls as Carlos came in.
"I though you guys were headed off to the jungle to put the stone away."
"Yeah about the stone..." Carlos said nervously once again.
"It kind of broke into a bunch of shards, which may have hit the pups." Carlos very slowly stated
"WHAT?! Oh no!" Ryder screamed to the point where Tracker had to cover his ears.
Ryder ran as fast as he could out of the lookout with his mind racing about how the PAW patrol is over, and how he is losing his best friends. When he got outside he saw them, all 6 acting all vacuous. Ryder had to call the Cap'n and ask if there was anyway to fix this.
"Cap'n the stone hit all of the pups! Is there any way to break the trace?" Ryder said extremely quickly.
The Cap'n, yet again gasped and almost fainted but eventually was able to find his words.
"Well yes, there is a way to get the poor pea-brained pups out of there terrible trance."
Ryder let out a huge sigh of relief.
"But it will be difficult... very difficult, but I know you Ryder, prodigious protection of your Paw patrol pups you will venture far and wide for your fun furry friends." The Cap'n pointed out.
"So how to we fix this?" Ryder said, wanting to do whatever it was he had to right noblue
"You must find another stone, it looks stupendously similar to the Mignonette Stone but it's a beautiful bright blue. It's called the Cerulean Stone and it will get your poor Paw patrol pups back to normal."
"Where do I find this Cerulean Stone?" Ryder questioned extremely eager for a response.
"No one knows, the only thing anyone knows about this big bright blue stone is that it is somewhere around the our cool clear city of adventure bay."
"Well Cap'n, wanna help us look?" Ryder said about to start searching
"Yeah, anything to get the Paw patrol back." Cap'n said with a sad sound to his voice.
"Alright I'll call Everest and start looking!" "Ryder out" Ryder hung the phone up, Carlos and Tracker who heard the whole thing and called up Everest for backup. Ryder explained the situation to Everest and Jake who are now just as worried as everyone else. They came to the lookout as fast as they could and Ryder explained what they had to do.
And now starts a mission that is not only for the Paw patrol, but for the whole of Adventure Bay...
