Chapter Text

It’s a bright sunny day in Adventure Bay, as the sun shines over its majestic buildings. But one of them stood out the most. A tall tower with a pup tag as its symbol. This is the Lookout, home to Adventure Bay’s greatest rescue team, the Paw Patrol.

And on this particular day, they’re all playing outside, in Tug Of War!

“Come on, pups! Let’s win this!” 

At the moment, the pups are battling it out to see who will win the game. 

On one side are Chase, Rocky, Skye, and Liberty.

And opposite to them are Marshall, Zuma, Rubble, and Everest. 

“Don’t count us out, Chase!” Marshall said while biting on the rope, “We’re the ones who’ll win!”

“We’ll see about that, Marshall!” Chase replied.

Meanwhile, Ryder arrived, noticing that the pups’ tug of war was still going.

“Hey, pups!” Ryder said, “I’m surprised you’re back to playing Tug of War!”

He then looked at the teams and was surprised to see Liberty and Everes,t who are also a part of the game.

“I’m surprised to see you two playing!” Ryder said with interest as the two pups looked at him with a smile.

“What can I say, Ryder!” Liberty said with glee, “It’s all about trying new things!”

She then turned towards the husky and said, “I’m not giving up just yet, Everest!”

“Me too, Liberty!” Everest replied.

Suddenly, the roar of two motorcycles was heard as Ryder turned around to see who it was.

Two identical pups came out of their vehicles as one of them said, “Long time no see, Ryder!”

When the rest of the pups heard the voice, they all turned and saw two Golden Retrievers who were completely identical except for their noses.

“Tuck! Ella!” Marshall said with joy, not knowing that he inadvertently let go of the rope!

And in an instant, Marshall’s team collided with the Dalmatian as they tumbled to the ground.

“Sorry, everyone!” Marshall said as he popped out of the dog pile, “I really am in a pile of trouble!”

Everyone giggled at Marshall’s pun as the rest of them got out of the pile to greet their new visitors.

“Nice to see you all again, everyone!” Ella said with a smile, “Me and my lil’ bro thought we’d come around here for a friendly visit!”

“Yeah! It’s been quite a while since we've seen you guys!” Tuck replied when both twins spotted Liberty, prompting Ella to say, “And who’s this!”

“What’s up, my good pups! The name’s Liberty!” Liberty introduced herself, “What’s yours?”

“I’m Ella!” Ella replied, “And this is my little bro, Tuck!”

“Nice to meet you, Liberty!” Tuck replied, as Liberty noticed that the two of them were very similar to each other.

“Say, are you two twins?” Liberty asked them, prompting Tuck to say, “Yup! Ella and I are twins!”

“We’ve been together ever since, and we always stick together!” Tuck continued as Liberty smiled at Tuck’s response.

Then, a large growl echoed throughout the yard as everyone turned to the source of the sound. Only for it to be Rubble’s grumbling stomach.

Rubble chuckled and said, “I guess my tummy wants some lunch, huh?”

And with it, everyone laughed at Rubble’s remark.

Meanwhile, outside Adventure Bay lies another town, whose weather is always filled with dreary fog. That town is Foggy Bottom. 

“Have you found anything, Nephew!”

“Not yet, Uncle! Not yet!”

Two voices echoed throughout the town as they belonged to two of its usual residents. 

Mayor Humdinger, mayor of Foggy Bottom. And Harold, nephew to said mayor.

Right now, they’re at Foggy Bottom’s beach as the two of them are currently looking for something, using metal detectors.

“I can’t believe you made me look for those meteor crystals!” Humdinger whined, “I was supposed to have a nice, long break with my kitties!”

“Come on, Uncle! Think about it!” Harold replied in annoyance, “If we could find at least one of them, I’ll– I mean, we’ll be able to get back at the Paw Patrol!”

“Oh, please! If it were that easy!” Humdinger said to his nephew.

Whenever Harold arrives at Foggy Bottom, it usually starts with him finding a meteor piece or crystal. Then, he would gain powers and proceed to fulfill his ‘nefarious’ schemes. And then, it ends with the Mighty Pups defeating him and losing his crystal to who knows where. 

Somehow, Humdinger decided to take a break from those shenanigans as he wanted to spend some quality time with his kittens, inside his comfy lair.

But now, Harold wrangled him out of his break day and made him search for any meteor crystals nearby. And it’s been hours since they’ve started.

“It’s all about being patient, Uncle! I’m sure we’ll be able to find-” Harold said when suddenly, his metal detector alarmed, as Harold turned to see it.

“Is that what I think it is!” Harold said with joy as he knelt on the sand.

He immediately started to dig at the spot until he grabbed his prize. A meteorite piece containing a crystal!

“Yes! I finally found one!” Harold shouted with joy, “And now, for this!”

Channeling the power of the crystal, Harold fires a blast towards his metal detector, disassembling its parts as it merges towards him. 

And in a dazzling light, Harold transformed into Super Harold, master of machines.

“Alright! With my powers back, it's time for Adventure Bay to-” Harold monologued until he noticed his uncle walking away.

“Uh, Uncle! Where are you going?” Harold asked his uncle.

“Home! That’s what!” Humdinger replied.

“But….. But you’re supposed to help me!” Harold pleaded, “You’re supposed to be my vice-mayor!”

“And I’m supposed to relax!” Humdinger rebutted as he had had enough mighty shenanigans, “Once those pups have beaten you, you can go back to the lair, immediately.”

Seeing that his uncle has decided to call it quits, Harold angrily said, “Well, fine! I’ve done this by myself! I can do it again!”

Humdinger huffed at his nephew’s remark, as he walked away, he suddenly tripped, landing on the beach’s sand.

“Ow….” Humdinger groaned as he spat some sand out of his mouth.

“Now, who put that rock here?!” Humdinger complained as he saw the rock in question.

But when he noticed its dark black color, he looked closer until he realized that it’s also a meteor fragment!

“Well, lucky me! I finally found one!” Humdinger said with glee as he opened the fragment to reveal the crystal inside.

But while Humdinger is overjoyed, Harold thinks this could be his chance to get his uncle back to help him!

As he walked towards him, he said, “Nice crystal, Uncle! Don’t you want to use it?”

When Humdinger heard his nephew, he immediately covered it and said, “Why should I? Aren’t you supposed to boss me around since you have powers?”

Harold immediately shook his head and said, “No way! I won’t try to boss you around since you have powers!”

“Come to think of it,” Harold realized, “It’s the first time I’m seeing you with powers! Can’t I see it, please!”

With Harold’s plea, Humdinger thought long and hard if he should do this. Originally, he wants to put the crystal in a safe place, just in case he needs it for another scheme against the Paw Patrol. 

And on the other hand, if he were to use it now, it might show Harold that his powers is far better than his and make sure that he would follow his lead.

Nevertheless, Humdinger replied, “Fine! You’ll get to see my powers.”

“Yes!” Harold exclaimed until his uncle said, “In one condition!”

“We’re going to SHARE the responsibility of beating the Paw Patrol, together!” Humdinger dictated, “And if you ever lose your crystal, don’t ask me to give you my crystal.”

“Are we clear on that, Harold?” Humdinger replied as he gestured to his nephew to shake his hand.

With his uncle’s condition, Harold immediately thought whether he should convince his uncle further.

But, as this is his only chance for his uncle to help him, he reluctantly shook his uncle’s hand, sealing the deal.

“Alright, Uncle,” Harold said in annoyance, “Let’s work together in beating the Paw Patrol…”

“Oh, I assure you, nephew,” Humdinger said with a smile, “You won’t regret it!”

“Now, if I were you, you might want to step back,” Humdinger said, as he channeled the crystal’s power towards himself.

And as Harold stepped away, his uncle’s hands turned larger.

“Huh!?” Harold said in shock, as Humdinger smiled with glee, as he looked at his shocked nephew.

Then, the rest of his body grew at a rapid rate, until his uncle turned into a giant!

“Feast your eyes, nephew!” Humdinger exclaimed with pride, “Giant Humdinger has returned!”

“Whoa….” Harold said, as for the first time in his life, he is in awe of his uncle’s newest powers.

“What do you think, nephew? Is my power awesome or what!” Humdinger said with glee.

From his uncle’s statement, Harold suddenly got an idea as he thought to himself, “I’ve got an idea!”

And scene!

Well…… I never imagined I would try and do a story about the Paw Patrol.

You can thank my younger cousin for influencing me to do one. Especially if it’s the Mighty Pups.

Anyway, what do you guys think would be Harold’s plan?

See you in the next chapter!

Chapter Text

Back at Adventure Bay, Mayor Goodway was outside City Hall as she was watering her prized tulips.

“Isn’t this a wonderful day, Chickaletta?” Goodway said as her chicken clucked in response.

The kind mayor chuckled at her chicken’s response until she heard the ground shake.

“Chicky-poo? Is it me, or did the ground just shake?” Goodway replied, leaving her chicken to cluck again.

Then, the ground shook again, prompting the mayor to look for the source.

Suddenly, screams were heard from her left as some of the townspeople began to run away from the origin. Even cars begin to jolt from the shockwaves.

The ground kept shaking until the source of it all was revealed.

A giant man appeared, wearing purple armor and a metallic jacket. He also wore a shiny tophat with a cat insignia in the middle. But his prominent features were his blonde mustache and aviator goggles.

The man stopped in front of the stunned mayor of Adventure Bay, looking at her with pride and disdain.

“Hello, Mayor Goodway,” the giant man said, “Nice weather we’re having, isn’t it?”

When the giant man talked, it broke Mayor Goodway out of her stupor as she realized whose voice that belonged to.

“Wait…. Is that you, Mayor Humdinger!?” Goodway exclaimed.

In an instant, Humdinger’s goggles retracted, revealing his identity with a smile.

“And here I thought you wouldn’t recognize me!” Humdinger playfully replied, “Now, in you go!”

With a swift motion, he grabbed Mayor Goodway as he opened the doors to town hall and shoved her inside.

“What are you doing, Mayor Humdinger!?” Goodway shouted from inside, “Stop whatever you’re doing this instant!”

Humdinger gave a light chuckle and said, “Oh, I wouldn’t think so, Mayor Goodway!”

“Oh, Nephew!” Humdinger called out, “It’s showtime!”

Then, a giant sphere made out of electronic devices appeared behind Town Hall, as it floated through the air.

It then opened itself, revealing the owner to be Harold, standing on a floating platform.

“Sorry if I’m late, Uncle Mayor!” Harold grinned, “It took me a while to get all of this stuff out here.”

“That’s alright! Now then,” Humdinger said as he rubbed his hands in anticipation, “Let’s see how this suit works!”

Humdinger grabbed the building with his two hands, ready to lift it! It was strenuous as he tried to remove Town Hall from its foundation!

But through the power of his suit (and his strength), Humdinger removed the building as he placed his prize on his shoulder.

“This suit is amazing!” Humdinger said with glee, “I think this is the best gift you’ve given to me, Nephew!”

“Shucks, Uncle Mayor, don’t thank me!” Harold said with pride, “Thank yourself for accepting my offer!”

Seeing how his uncle showered him with gratitude made Harold remember how he was able to make his power suit.

“Say, Uncle Mayor….” Harold said with a sly tone, “How would you feel if I made a super suit for you?”

When Humdinger heard of his nephew’s request, he replied with suspicion, “What made you say that?”

Seeing that his uncle took the bait, he asked, “Well….. From what I’ve seen…. This isn’t the first time you got powers, right?”

The giant mayor flinched at his nephew’s words, realizing he had realized his past failure. It was during his stay in Adventure City that he teamed up with a mad scientist who gave him his first crystal. If it weren’t for the Paw Patrol figuring out where his crystal was located, he would’ve won at the time. Instead, he went back to jail and was released after being bailed out.

“So what,” Humdinger huffed, “Why do you care about my safety?”

“Because, if I made one for you, you’ll be unstoppable!” Harold said with glee, “Not even the Paw Patrol will make a dent in your suit! I’ll also add some nifty gadgets inside, much like my first robot!”

After hearing Harold’s case, Humdinger thought of what his nephew said and imagined if he accepted it. He imagined himself wearing a powerful mech suit, laughing on a giant throne as Ryder and his pups served him by holding his food and water.

It was satisfying if he could have his revenge, so he decided to accept his nephew’s offer.

“You got yourself a deal, Nephew!” Humdinger said with joy.

Harold smirked at his uncle’s quick approval, and he replied, “Don’t you worry, Uncle Mayor. I’ll make sure to make you the best suit ever!”

After reminiscing about his approval, Harold looked at the empty spot where Town Hall used to be located.

“Let’s get this started!” Harold said with glee as he directed all of his materials into the space, circling across the spot until they created a giant, metallic circle.

“Now to turn it on!” Harold said with glee as the circle hummed with energy, revealing itself to be a portal!

“Haha! The portal to Foggy Bottom is complete!” Harold proclaimed, “Uncle Mayor! You can go now!”

“Sure thing, Nephew!” Humdinger said as he jumped down to the portal, returning to Foggy Bottom.

“And as for you!” Humdinger replied as he looked at the fear-stricken Goodway, “You’re going to be Foggy Bottom’s secretary! To me!”

Humdinger hoisted Town Hall and placed it near the Town Hole.

“Now, if you’ll excuse me. I have some more buildings to relocate!” Humdinger declared as he jumped back into the portal, to continue his building pilfering!

“Oh goodness, Chickaleta! This is terrible!” Goodway exclaimed, as Chickaletta nonchalantly clucked to her owner.

“I need to call the Paw Patrol!” Goodway said as she reached for her phone to call them.

Back at the Lookout, the rest of the pups were all eating lunch as Liberty and the Mighty Twins were talking to one another.

“So your bikes can fuse into a car! That’s paw-some!” Liberty replied, leaving the twins to giggle at her response.

“Yup! We usually fuse our bikes whenever we’re on a road trip!” Tuck said with a smile.

“And when we’re already close to town, we always race with each other on our way to the Lookout!” Ella replied.

Once Liberty heard the word ‘race’, she said, “And who's the fastest of the two of you?”

“Oh, that’s easy!” Tuck said.

“It’s me!/ It’s sis!” Ella and Tuck simultaneously replied, leading every pup to giggle at their response.

As the pups resumed talking, Ryder looked onward with a smile as he was glad that everyone was in high spirits when his Pup Pad suddenly rang.

He immediately answered the call, showing Mayor Goodway.

“Hello, Mayor Goodway! Is something the matter?” Ryder replied.

“It’s horrible, Ryder!” Goodway exclaimed as she showed him her current location, “Mayor Humdinger has turned into a giant, and he managed to steal Town Hall! With me in it”

“That’s terrible!” Ryder exclaimed.

It reminded him of the time Humdinger turned into a giant back at Adventure City. It was through the Mini Patrollers’ intervention that they were able to snatch Humdinger’s crystal to stop him.

Then, Ryder noticed the window where it’s apparently…. Foggy?

“But wait!” Ryder replied, “Why is there fog outside of Town Hall?”

“Because I’m in Foggy Bottom!” Goodway said, “Harold created a portal leading there, and they’re planning to steal every important building in Adventure Bay! You have to stop them!”

“Don’t worry, Mayor Goodway! We’re on our way!” Ryder declared, “No giant mayor’s too big, no pup’s too small!”

Ryder extended his Pup Pad and pressed the call button, calling the Paw Patrol to the Lookout!

“Mighty Pups! To the Mighty Lookout!” Ryder announced, sending his message through the pup tags.

“Ryder needs us!” the pups exclaimed, leading everyone to rush to the Lookout’s elevator.

That is, until Marshall tripped on the rope for tug of war, causing him to be tied up in the process!

“Whoa!” Marshall exclaimed as he tumbled right towards his friends!

“Marshall!”

“Look out!”

“Aaaaah!” the dalmatian cried as he landed right on them.

Marshall popped out of the pile, with the rope wrapped around his head.

“Sorry, pups! I’m a bit tied up at the moment!” Marshall punned, giving his friends a good chuckle.

And as the elevator moved upward, the Lookout tower revealed the meteor, powering its transformation into the Mighty Lookout, along with its crystals!

Clad in crimson armor, Ryder awaits the Mighty Pups when they reveal themselves in their power armor, floating with the meteorite’s energy.

Then, the meteor crystals entered their pup tags, granting them their mighty powers.

The pups all howled with joy as they presented themselves to their leader!

“Mighty Pups! Ready for mighty action, Ryder, sir!” Chase announced with pride.

But as Chase finished his announcement, Rocky looked at one of his friends when he noticed something different from Everest and the Mighty Twins.

“Pups,” Rocky said as his excitement grew, “Look at Everest and the twins!”

With Rocky’s response, the pups turned around and saw their friends’ new armor! 

For Everest, her power suit is replaced with cerulean blue armor with purple energy coursing through it. Her helmet also contained snowflakes as its symbols.

And for the Mighty Twins, both of them wore silver armor with crimson energy powering their suits. Although they don’t have helmets like the Mighty Pups, they still maintain their colored lock of hair and silver masks. 

“Whoa!” they all exclaimed, while the trio was looking at their new suits in awe. 

“This is awesome!” Everest replied as she looked at her new suit.

“Us too!” the Mighty Twins exclaimed.

Ryder chuckled as the pups all looked at their leader.

“Are you pups done checking out their new gear? Ryder said with a smile.

“Sorry for the delay, Ryder, sir!” Chase replied, “What’s the mission?”

“We’ve got a big mission indeed, pups,” Ryder said with seriousness as the screen lit up, revealing Harold and Humdinger with powers.

“Mayor Humdinger and Harold have teamed up once again,” Ryder said. “This time, both of them have superpowers now and are currently stealing every building in Adventure Bay!”

The Mighty Pups were surprised at Ryder’s announcement that, unlike before, it was Harold who usually had powers. But now, both uncle and nephew have superpowers this time!

“Is he the Mega Mayor again, Ryder?” Ella asked Ryder.

“I’m afraid not, Ella,” Ryder said as the onscreen mayor suddenly grew big, “It seemed that we’re facing Giant Humdinger this time around.”

The Mighty Pups gasped at the revelation, especially Ella. She never imagined that someone like Humdinger would get giant powers! Especially when she fought the Mega Mayor, the complete opposite of their powers.

“But…. But I thought I’m the only one who can grow big!?” Ella said in shock, “How come Humdinger became a giant!?”

“Seemed to me that he picked up a meteor crystal,” Rocky said aloud, “When we got those crystals, some of us got the same powers, but some pups like me got newer ones.”

“Wait, new powers?” Tuck said with surprise, “You guys got new powers!”

“Yup! Rubble can turn himself into a wrecking ball, Skye has flight and super strength, Zuma can turn himself into water,” Rocky said while pointing to his teammates, “And I have magnetism.”

When Everest and the twins heard about their new powers, they were very, very excited!

“I can’t wait to see if I got new powers like you guys!” Everest said with glee.

“You think we’ll have new powers, Ryder?” the twins replied, leading Ryder to chuckle.

“Only time will tell, twins!” Ryder replied, “Anyway, since we don’t know what Humdinger and Harold have up their sleeves, we need all pups on deck!”

With Ryder’s announcement, the Mighty Pups howled and cheered with joy, ready to take on their mission together!

“Alright, Mighty Pups is on a roll!” Ryder declared as the rest of the pups made their way to their vehicles.

He then jumped off the Lookout and activated his jetpack, as he soared through the air with the rest of the team.

The Mighty Pups have begun their mission, stopping Harold and his uncle!

Chapter Text

Back in Adventure Bay, Harold was guarding the portal as his giant uncle leapt from above.

With a big smirk, Harold replied, “How’s Foggy Bottom’s new museum, Uncle?”

“Going very well, Harold!” Humdinger said with a big grin, “Now, how about we take Mr. Porter’s cafe? It’s about time Foggy Bottom has its own cafe!”

“Good pick, Uncle!” Harold agreed, “It’s about time we have some-”

“STOP RIGHT THERE, HUMDINGERS!”

The duo turned around as they saw a group of vehicles moving toward them, which turned out to be the Paw Patrol.

And as the team stopped, they all saw the dastardly duo, all staring at them with smirks.

“Well, well, well, if it isn’t the Paw Patrol,” Humdinger said, until his gaze looked to the Mighty Twins, “And it looks like the twins are here!”

“Hello, Mayor,” Ella said with caution, “Seems you’ve gotten… bigger,”

The giant mayor chuckled at her response and said, “Ha! I did! And look at me now!”

“You pups can call me, Hyper Humdinger!” Humdinger proclaimed as he struck a pose, showing off his powerful suit.

“And this time, I’m not going to make this easy,” Humdinger gloated, “For all of you!”

From his declaration, all of the pups tensed from what Humdinger said, especially since this time, which differed from his previous stint in Adventure City.

“You may be a giant, Humdinger!” Chase declared, “We’ve stopped you before, and we’ll do it again!”

Soon enough, the rest of the Patrol also shared the police dog’s sentiments, showing that they’re determined to stop him until both Humdingers let out a hearty laugh.

“Please! If you think you can beat us again, you’re making a big mistake!” Harold shouted when he turned to his uncle, “Uncle! How about we show them a little… Catastrophe?”

“Catastrophe?” the Paw Patrol thought.

When the mayor heard what his nephew said, he replied, “Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me, Nephew!”

The giant mayor pressed a button on his gauntlet and said, “Oh, Kitties! Time to fly!”

Suddenly, the mayor’s tophat opened, and a humming sound echoed throughout the town, causing the pups to look above as the object emerged from Humdinger’s hat.

Until a giant plane emerged.

In purple paint, this aerial behemoth featured four turrets; two below the plane’s wings and two above them. It even contained Humdinger’s insignia at its front.

And in front of the plane are its two pilots, Cat Skye and Cat Chase, both of them with big smirks on their faces.

“Behold!” Humdinger proclaimed with outstretched arms, “Feast your eyes on the Katastrophe Bomber!”

The Paw Patrol gasped at the Humdingers’ newest addition. 

“Impressive, right?” Humdinger said with pride, “Thank my nephew for making this beautiful plane for my kitties!”

“And with the three of us, you’ll never beat us this time!” Harold proclaimed.

“What’s the plan, Ryder?” Chase said with slight unease as the rest of the pups looked toward their leader.

“We need to stop that portal,” Ryder replied, “And I know just to target!”

And as all of them turned towards Harold, the giant mayor’s hand immediately shielded him.

“I’ll handle this one, nephew,” Humdinger said in confidence, “Give them a wild goose chase, if you wouldn’t mind.”

Seeing how his uncle is now helping him escape, Harold smirked and said, “Sure thing, Uncle Mayor!”

With his confidence renewed, Harold exclaimed, “You want to stop this portal, Paw Patrol! Come and get me!”

Through a flick of his fingers, the young villain created rocket boosters for his platform as he zoomed towards the opposite direction.

“Oh no, you don’t!” Liberty exclaimed as she revved her motorcycle towards Harold when the giant mayor leaped over and landed in front of her!

“And where do you think you’re going?” Mayor Humdinger said as he was about to grab the dachshund when the rest of the Paw Patrol came to her aid.

“Don’t even think about it, Humdinger!” Chase shouted at the mayor.

“You mess with her, you mess with the rest of us!” Skye said with confidence.

The giant mayor chuckled at the pups’ response as he replied, “Really? Then how about this!”

Humdinger pressed his gauntlet and said, “Kitties! Time for a catastrophic rain!”

From his order, the Paw Patrol noticed that the plane had disappeared!

“Hey! Where did the plane go?” Rubble questioned when, suddenly, a whistling sound was heard, making an airborne Skye horrified.

“Everyone scatter!” Skye shouted down below, “It’s a bomb!”

With her warning, Ryder and the pups on the ground immediately got out of their vehicles and ran for cover as Skye immediately swerved her jet to avoid the incoming bombs.

And when they dropped, it exploded with a sticky substance as it clung to the buildings.

“What…. What was that?” Rocky wondered as the rest of the Paw Patrol got out of their hiding spots.

But when they got out, they met with a nasty surprise that made them gasp.

Parts of Adventure Bay are filled with bubblegum! And what’s worse is that some of their vehicles were bombarded with gum! 

“Hahahaha! How did you like my Gum Bombs, Paw Patrol!” Humdinger gloated, “If you ever try to stop my relocation, I’ll make sure to turn your precious Adventure Bay into Gummy Bay!”

“We’ll see about that, Humdinger!” Ryder declared as he faced his pups with determination.

“Skye, Rocky, Marshall, stop that bomber plane!” Ryder ordered, facing the pups for their task, “Chase, Liberty, you’re with me in catching Harold!”

“The rest of you, stop Humdinger!” Ryder shouted.

“On it, Ryder!” the Paw Patrol said with pride.
