## **Basics**

### **PAW Patrol**

Everything until the end of Season 1 (and including Chase's spy gear and Marshall's medic gear) is canon. However, all the pups are now anthropomorphized.

### **New Additions**

In addition, Tundra is the snow rescue pup on the PAW Patrol alongside Talon the backup/security pup (not a regular, only there for special occasions like Everest and Tracker).

### **Pups on a Hunt**

The stories Pups in a Disaster and Pups on a Hunt, by CypherChase, are also canon.

In summary, the security pup Talon was brought to Adventure Bay by Ryder from his parent's house to see the PAW Patrol for the first time. Just as they arrived, the Lookout was on fire after supposedly being struck by lightning. Talon saves a trapped Chase from the fire, and immediately gains the PAW Patrol's respect. While Chase is recovering, Talon volunteers to be his replacement for the time being as he too possesses policing skills and equipment.

When Chase is able to return to duty, Talon packs his bag and bids a tearful farewell as he leaves Adventure Bay to go back home. Two months later, Katie is kidnapped from her pet salon by a mysterious figure in the middle of the night. The next morning, the PAW Patrol investigate the crime scene and discover a note penned to Ryder. The note wanted Ryder at the train station alone at midnight.

A drugged Katie wakes up and finds herself tightly bounded in a chair. She sees her kidnappers as someone who looks exactly like Ryder and a pup dressed completely in black with a katana. She thinks she is hallucinating, and falls unconscious again.

Chase, in his spy gear, attempts a daring rescue attempt on Katie. Unfortunately, he is surprised from behind by the ninja pup, beat up and put into bounds beside Katie. Ryder becomes angry at his police pup's capture and prepares to do what the note said. From a rather unfriendly conversation with the ninja pup, Chase learns the fire at the Lookout that permanently scarred him was actually a pipe bomb planted by him and the Ryder lookalike.

Ryder arrives at the train station at midnight and meets the mysterious figure. An hour earlier, the PAW Patrol minus their leader and Chase discuss what to do. Rocky hesitantly unveils to his friends Unit PAW, a series of militarized versions of their normal uniforms that Ryder had kept secret from them until they were older. They put them on and, without any training with their new equipment, set off to the train station to save Ryder, Chase and Katie.

As Ryder prepares to be captured by the mysterious figure, Skye's barks suddenly echo through the train station. The figure deduces Ryder is not alone, and proceeds to have the ninja pup attack him from behind and incapacitate him. He then reveals himself to be Ranger, Ryder's evil twin brother who serves proudly in the Army (cadets) and was pissed at Ryder for not doing so. In order to force him into the Army, Ranger plans to "replace" Ryder and cause all sorts of unforgivable scandals across Adventure Bay.

Unit PAW arrives at the train station, but a botched entrance alerts the ninja pup of their presence. The Unit PAW naively split up to search for their captured friends. Rocky and Zuma become the first to encounter the ninja pup. Despite their upgraded gear, they are easily beaten and both knocked unconscious. Elsewhere in the train station, Marshall and Rubble breach the room their three friends are kept in and incapacitate Ranger with a flashbang.

Just as the ninja pup finishes beating the shit out of Rocky, he is tased from behind by Chase. The two struggle to land a hit on each other before the ninja pup knocks the wind out of the police pup with a double-pawed hook. Too hurt to get off from the ground, Chase awaits execution. Then, Talon steps out from the shadows and identifies the ninja pup: his old army comrade, Slash.

Ranger recovers from being flashed, only to be immediately pounced on by a livid Ryder. The twins fight and Ranger quickly gains the upper hand. Katie then intervenes with her nominal karate skills but is quickly knocked unconscious. Ranger then produces a pistol and shoots Ryder three times in the stomach. As Ryder lays dying, his twin explains that if he's this unwilling to join the army, then he must die to prevent him from shaming the family name any further.

Talon clashes in a fierce fight with Slash. It is revealed Ranger was Slash's and Talon's handler during the army days, and severe mistreatment by Ranger of Talon caused the security pup to leave. Talon brushes away the past and seemingly kills Slash by breaking both his arms, and flinging him out the window where Skye launches her jetpack to "explode" the ninja pup out of the sky.

Katie finds a barely alive Ryder, who professes his crush on her. They kiss. Talon catches Ranger escaping to the roof of the train station and gives chase after him. He sees Ranger boarding a mini helicopter on the roof and just as it takes off, jumps on. Talon and Ranger fight before the security pup detonates his pup pack and sends the helicopter crashing into the seas just off Adventure Bay.

The next day, the entire PAW Patrol minus Marshall and Rubble are at the hospital with life-threatening injuries. They will make full recoveries and live to save Adventure Bay again.

### **Aftermath**

Think Slash, Ranger and Talon are dead? Well think again. Miraculously, all three survived the impossible. Talon joins the army again and Slash and Ranger, now fugitives, go on the run.

### **Trussian Empire?**

The Trussian Empire is a massive intergalactic theocratic (Christian, to be specific) empire comprised entirely of anthromorphic canines. They eerily resemble the Empire from Star Wars. Their homeworld is an Earth-like planet called Trussia. They are led by a spotted Dalmatian with glasses named Takota.

More information about the Trussian Empire can be found here.

### **Takota?**

Takota is the hyper-religious leader of the Trussian Empire (like the benevolent version of Darth Sidious from Star Wars).

More information about Takota can be found here.
