AN: Before anybody worries, I am planning to still do the From Fear To Courage One Shot series later this week. I just wanted to do this idea since it came to me and it has some humor potential. It's only seven chapters, nothing more or less. I'll pretty much do one of these followed by a FFTC chapter. Still deciding who I'm going to do for the first chapter, either Rocky or Stone or Zuma.

Disclaimer: I don't own Paw Patrol


With another mission completed safe and sound, the members of Paw Patrol were once again free to play and rest after a hard day's work. Ryder decided to go head into town with Katie since it had been awhile since the two childhood friends had done anything together leaving the pups decided to do their own things. While Rocky, Rubble, and Skye were watching TV inside the Lookout, Chase and Zuma were tossing a ball to each other to see how long they could keep it in the air without hitting the ground.

"One hundred and sixty-seven!" shouted Chase as he passed the ball to Zuma with his nose.

"One hundwed and sixty-eight!" shouted Zuma, knocking it upward with his paw. The power behind it was too much as the ball sailed passed Chase and headed straight for Marshall's dog house. The said owner of it was coming out and stretching his legs before he looked up and gasped.

Both ball playing dogs winced as the ball smashed into Marshall. Rushing towards him, the two snorted upon seeing his rear end sticking out while his head was stuck in the entrance. "Um, can I get a paw here?"

The two nodded and tugged the dalmatian out via his rear legs which ended up having them end up in a dog pile. After a quick laugh, the three got back on their paws as Zuma rushed over and got the ball. "Sorry about that, Mawshall. You wanna play with us?"

"Sorry, pups, I've got something I gotta do," answered Marshall.

"Again? This is the fifth time this week you've been going to someplace mysteriously," pointed out Chase. "You're not in any trouble are you?"

"Of course not. I'm just… doing something important is all. And I gotta do it alone," said Marshall as he made his way towards the road which lead to the bridge connecting their island to Adventure Bay. "Tell Ryder I'll be late for dinner again, will ya?! Bye!"

The two pups watched as Marshall ran off until he was across the bridge. Raising their eyebrows, the two looked at each other and nodded before rushing into the Lookout.


"So is there a reason for this meeting, Chase?" asked Rubble, scratching his ears. "'Cause I wanna see the next Apollo episode coming up."

"It's Apollo vs The Moon Cats, we've seen that a million times," said Rocky.

"Yeah, but it's a good episode…" muttered Rubble.

Clearing his throat, Chase stood on top of the couch as the rest of his friends looked up from below. "I've called this meeting here because something weird has been going on with Marshall. For the past week, he's been coming and going without anybody following him and he's been hush hush about the whole thing."

"Yeah, I asked him if he wanted to go get some cake at Mr. Porter's two days ago, and he said he was too busy with something," pointed out Skye in realization. "When I asked what it was he said it was private."

"I got the same thing when I asked if he wanted to help me with one of my inventions," replied Rocky.

Scratching his head, Zuma asked, "So Mawshall is keeping a secret from us? What could it be? What could he be doing that he doesn't want anybody to know? Even Wyder?"

The pups all went "hmm" before rubbing their chins in deep thought. Each of them pondered for a bit before Rubble gasped and jumped up with excitement. "I know what's going on!"

"What?" asked the four other pups.

"Marshall is a superhero!" shouted Rubble, poising with his paw out.

Chase raised an eyebrow. "Rubble, I think you've been watching too much TV."

"Yeah, remember the last time you thought you were a superhero? I think that involved you getting nearly crushed by rocks in a cave," pointed out Rocky.

Blushing, Rubble quickly said, "That was because I was young and foolish back then!"

"That was last year."

"A-Anyway," coughed Rubble, "let's look at the facts? Marshall is talented in a lot of things, but he always is so clumsy? He's pretending to be to fool us in his secret identity! Whenever he disappears it's when he's called to do a rescue or beat up a bad guy! Plus, the way Marshall always manages to survive all those falls and accidents? Gotta be super invulnerability!"

A day dreamy like smile appeared on Rubble's face, "Yeah, I can see it now…"


Marshall sighed as he washed his dog house. His friends were off parachuting again and he decided to stay behind once more to keep an eye on the Lookout. That, and he wanted to be around in case some kittens got lose again. He was about to take off to see if Fuzzy and his flock wanted to play when he heard something on the news in the Lookout that sounded like explosions and screaming.

Throwing away his sponge, Marshall rushed as fast as he could inside where he saw the TV showing an Asian news reporter talking as a giant evil looking robot with machine guns on its shoulders and rockets on its legs started smashing building or blowing them up. People were screaming as they ran in terror while police fired their guns, but they were bouncing off the heavy steel.

"I repeat; the arch criminal Dr. Silvana has attacked Adventure City with a giant deadly robot! Police are powerless against it! The Army has been called but will take hours for them to reach us! Nothing can stop this monster as the city panics in peril! Who will save us?!"

A determined look on Marshall's face appeared as he calmly shut the eyes before taking a deep breath. He recalled the time when he was an orphan, before he met Ryder. How the Great Wizard summoned him to take his mantle by giving him the power of the immortals and gods. How it was his destiny to battle evil no matter where it came.

Rushing outside, Marshall proclaimed, "Looks I'm the one who can stop this." With a great cry he shouted the magical words:

"SHAZAM!"

Despite being as clear as the ocean, the skies turned dark as a thunderbolt strike down upon Marshall. Normally, a simple dog would be turned to dust by this, but as the light faded instead of a dead puppy on a first plane ticket to the afterlife was a tall dog, handsome, bulk, with eyes of wisdom and power. Wearing a read jumpsuit that held a white cape with hood and a lighting bold in the center of his chest, Marshall had transformed into Shazam! Earths Mightiest Mutt!"


"Shazam?" asked Zuma with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, what about it?" asked Rubble.

"It's the name of the word he uses to transform… and it's his hero name?" asked Rocky, trying to think on this. "Wouldn't that mean every time he introduces himself he'll turn back into Marshall and back into Shazam each time? Thus revealing his secret identity?"

"Yeah, why not just go for something simple like Captain Marvel, or the Crimson Valor, or The Lighting Legate. Heck, even Big Red Cheese is a better-"

"Shut up! It's a good name!" shouted Rubble. "Anyway…"


With the powers granted to him, Shazam flew into the air and kicked it into high gear. In no time at all, he had arrived at Adventure City where the giant robot was still working on its utter destruction of the area. Unable to see more chaos, Shazam flew towards the robot and smashed into it shoulder first.

The robot was knocked back onto its rear making the ground shake. A small speaker came out of the Robot's head and a voice cried out, "Who dares attack the genius mad scientist known as Dr. Silvana!"

Shazam flew up to the eyes of the robot and crossed his forelegs. "I do. I am Shazam," replied Marshall, his voice deeper and heroic sounding. "And I demand that you stop your evil ways or face justice, criminal."

"Oh yeah? Well, let's see you try when your filled with bullets in your body!" shouted Dr. Silvana as the mounted guns fired at Shazam. To the Doctor's horror, they bounced off of Marshall like he was made of titanium, falling to the ground all bent and out of shape. "Impossible!"

"Your weapons are useless against me," replied Marshall, smirking. "Just give up!"

"Oh yeah?! Eat this, Shazam!" shouted Dr. Silvana as rockets from the side emerged and aimed at Shazam.

Despite this, he had courage that would rival Achilles himself as he used his super speed to avoid the missiles. However, instead of shooting straight, they arched and started following him in the air. "Darn it, they're tracking me!" shouted Shazam as he continued to fly around the city as fast as he could, but the missiles continue to follow him.

Calling up the wisdom of Solomon, a plan came to Marshall as he smiled and started zig zagging around the sky, causing the missiles to get confused. When he was sure the timing was right, Shazam zoomed upward and the missiles collided with each other causing them to explode. Undamaged, Shazam zoomed back to a recovering Dr. Silvana's robot.

"Damn you! I shall just do this the old fashioned way!" cried out Dr. Silvana as he raised his robot's hand and tried to smash Shazam. However, Shazam simple grabbed the arm and smiled. "Now for a trick of my own!"

"SHAZAM!"

Like before, lighting came down and struck Marshall, but it extended to the robot as well, causing it to short circuit and explode in various area. "No! My robot! Curse you, Shazam!" cried out Dr. Silvana and his robot, which was now charred, fell to the ground as police surrounded the robot.

Seeing his work completed, Marshall smile and flew back into the direction of Adventure Bay.


"Then he just transforms back to normal old Marshall and pretends that nothing happens!" ended Rubble as he looked around and saw the others looking at him with raised eyebrows. "What?"

"Rubble there has never been a news report about giant robots attacking a city," said Chase.

"And even if Marshall was a superhero, why keep it a secret? Why not use his powers to help us in our adventures?" asked Skye.

"Yeah, and that loud shouting and thunder? Pretty sure we would have noticed that by now," pointed out Rocky.

Grumbling, Rubble sat down. "Well, fine. What do you think he's doing then?"

"Easy, as Marshall's best friend, I know exactly what he's been doing," said Chase.

"Oh?"

"Yeah! He's a super-secret spy!"

"… huh?" asked all the pups.
