a Family Guy fanfic based on Villains' Bad Girl's universe

Author's Note: Hey, everyone. Welcome to the next fanfic. Let's hope this one turns out as good as "Breakaway".
Prologue - Freedom
"Oh, Barbara," a young Collie girl puppy quivered. "I'm scared. Where are you? I need you." She looked behind herself. "We all need you."
She was inside a wooden crate with her two litter-mate sisters. Like her, they, too, were scared.
"If you don't come back soon, Barbara," she continued, "we'll starve."
We're at an illegal dog-fighting ring. Another match was just about to begin. The contenders of the match were a Pitbull and an also-scared Border Collie. And this was no ordinary Border Collie. It was New Brian, who was brought back from the dead somehow. Strangely, there were no scars on him. He still wore his maroon-colored kerchief around his neck, though. The bell was about to ring when...
"STOP!" the referee called. "We had just received word that James, our ring's owner, has been found guilty. Therefore, the ring is, as of this moment, officially shut down, which means that this and any further matches of the ring are all cancelled!"
New Brian had sighed with relief, as did the collie puppies. They had just been freed.
"I never thought that my sisters and I would live to see the day," the Collie puppy addressed New Brian.
"Me, neither, Sheridan," New Brian addressed back. "I was just on the verge of losing another life."
The four dogs were at an alley, celebrating their freedom.
"Wait," Sheridan halted. "You've lost lives before?"
"Yeah," New Brian admitted. "You don't want to know how I lost my last life. You girls wouldn't understand."
"Boy," Sheridan began, "and I thought only cats had more lives." Pause. "Anyway, thank you for being there for us, Daddy."
New Brian nodded in agreement. "Now all we have to do is find your mother so we can be together again."
"Not if I have anything to say about it, NB."
A voice that sounded very similar to Toy Story actor Wallace Shawn got their attention. New Brian and the Collie puppies looked behind themselves, only to see a small football-headed figure with short red hair, wearing an orange shirt, lilac pants and yellow shoes.
"B-Bertram?" New Brian staggered, eyes widened. "What are you doing here? And... how did you find me?"
"Oh," Bertram began, "just wanted to locate you. Now that James Woods is out of the way, I just wanted to take you home with me. That is to say, I've got you, pretty boy, and your little daughters, too."
Sheridan ran off on her fours.
"Sheridan!" New Brian called.
"No matter," Bertram shrugged. "I'll have to make do with what I have."
New Brian held the remaining two puppies close, fearing the worst, as the lone Sheridan ran away, hearing Bertram cackle.
Author's Note: Yeah, VBG didn't write an adaptation of the Season 9 episode "The Big Bang Theory", meaning that Stewie has not killed Bertram. What's going to happen to Sheridan? And how was New Brian brought back from the dead? These questions will be answered as the story progresses...
Told you that I was going to retcon the supposed sequel to "My Sacrifice", "Grow Up", and that I'd have something planned for Sheridan.
