Home Chapter 1, a bolt fanfic

Disclaimer: I don't own such and such, which is a recurring theme among fan fictions barring originality placed dude.

Author Note: This is going to be one in a series of events not all characters involved in the plot will make a reappearance later in the series of stories… what series you ask well the one that starts right here, even if it's not well written or you don't like it, well then I don't care because I do this for fun dude.

First in the Green Hearts series. (Someone modified this so dude wouldn't appear at the end of this and every sentence dude)

Story: Home.

(Warning the story doesn't start out primarily on Bolt, but it will get to him dude.)

The shadowy creature studied the keypad next to the door in a dark grey barely lit hallway; it idly took note of the usual digital keypad pad design used in just about any place in a science fiction movie however the reality of the situation was rather harsh on the creature even if it apparently showed no emotions.

Slowly reaching up to the keypad of an alien design the creature ripped off a bit of the casing using one of its feet and started to work the wires beneath it with its two; for this situation, misshapen upper limbs to open the door.

The creature in question was dying quickly and it wasn't from any injury it was from something else entirely as the creature wasn't injured, sick or harboring a rare disease.

Despite time being against it the creature didn't even panic at the knowledge that in the next hour or two it would simply drop dead without a clearly scientific reason why, if anything it'd probably be misdiagnosed as a heart attack despite there not being signs of one actually having occurred if the creature were to get an autopsy.

In particular an autopsy in this place would open up a whole new powder keg of trouble, not that this thing cared in the least as all it cared about was three things.

One was to return to its home planet of Earth, find a special person and lastly was to find something it had lost before coming to this place where it had barely been surviving using as much borrowed time as it could scrounge together since food couldn't sustain its body any longer.

After a moment the creature finally managed to get the two wires it needed into its left limb held far apart enough to not set things in motion, but once it clenched the wires together a multitude of things would occur.

An alarm will be set off so speed was of the essence as it had managed to avoid detection for the past three weeks in this rather safe section of a most deadly dimension till it had come to a solution about how to get home which it found in this place and two the creature in question would be charged with quite a shockingly large amounts of energy enough to kill other beings mostly from the pain alone but the creature couldn't feel pain at the moment so this would actually help its deteriorating health however it wasn't quite apparent how passing thousands of volts through its body would help.

Finally the most obvious thing would be that the door would open to the hangar, where the creature would have to quickly highjack a special spaceship being developed here and then use it to get home, it wasn't like the dictator who had recently created it was going to use it for any good reasons.

The creature knelt down making sure to keep the two wires apart and picked up the pistol like object off the floor that it had set down to work on the keypad, then without a second thought the creature clenched its limb bringing the two wires together causing its body to go through the motions of convulsing violently as the door quickly opened and filled the hallway with light the creature dashed through both limbs holding onto the pistol shaped object.

Sounds of odd gunfire could be heard followed by a few muffled crashes of machinery shattering and after a moment it all grew silent, then a large explosion is heard.

The scene switches to outside showing a huge metal planet sized sphere, on a very small section of the sphere where there were once two doors to the special manufacturing hangar a metallic forest green oval shaped object floated out into space with the rest of the oxygen in the hanger.

The object had two arms on the side with three thick finger like obtrusions with holes in the palm where weapons or jet thrusters could be attributed to being; it also had two thick reverse bending legs ending in two flat slightly curved spike toes that could close over the opening in the base of each leg containing extra boosters, the top of the object had a red hemisphere with the shadowy figure working the controls as four small jets in the back flared up it started to slowly fly erratically away from the giant metal deathtrap it had recently been on.

"Hello and welcome to the TG-1 experimental jump fighter, I require information about the pilot before I can perform any assisting function" Listening to the feminine voice the shadowy form in the pilot seat didn't say anything and looked at the glowing screen to its left, before it typed something into the keyboard, this ship used a language known as basic which was the closest thing to human English vocal and writing that the creature could understand about this dimension.

"Confirmed Pilot information now acquired… scanning new pilot for medical data, pilot may now insert course data while this is occurring" The shadowy creature weakly entered the coordinates into a keypad and hit what would amount to the enter key and quickly fell unconscious not to long after that, the reason why it took so long is because the creature was trying to be careful with the pad.

"Coordinates set for specified alternate dimension… processing medical scan… medical scan complete pilot is avian in nature and is female, feathers are green, dark orange and hot pink…" After a moment of studying and listing of parts of the pilots body the computer screen grew bright red with a warning signal appearing on screen with lights flashing inside the pilot pit "Warning pilot has been hit with maser based weaponry, the injuries sustained to the pilot should be fatal given time; however scans show signs of increased regenerative properties… life signs are also dropping at a rate faster than the injuries acquired should warrant… activating medical sub systems to assist pilot survival, chances of survival at thirty four point three six one percent at current moment" the computer sounded rather perplexed if that was the word for it.

After a bit the flashing lights turned off the pilots seat was suddenly became covered in white fluffy foam substance, the seat was already covered in blood from where the avian figure had been shot but it mattered little now as the substance cleaned the wounds and thinned out over them creating a solid patch of white where skin and feathers used to be while boosting the birds naturally good regenerative properties.

"Pilots wounds have been successfully sealed with medical foam; the heart seems to be stopping administering energy based stimulation… rerouting energy from weapon systems as other systems are busy preparing for dimensional gateway generation to designated coordinates" A small arm like object came from the ceiling and pressed itself against the avian figures chest as close to the heart as it could get and released a jolt of energy, the life signs unexpectedly jumped when the computer did that, so it continued to do so using minimal energy until either it ran out of energy or the pilot could sustain communication for further orders after its initial jump.

Speaking of initial jump the computer was already in the process of making the ship form a gateway; it was ignoring hailing frequencies as it jumped through the gateway leaving behind two squadrons of oval shaped fighter based spaceships with far less capability for long distance space travel or even dimensional hopping ability were left behind flying in odd circles.

"Processing pilot's equipment… one maser blaster with approximately one unit less than half a charge… processing pilots name… Bird… is in no apparent danger from entering the dimensional gateway ETA till arrival at dimensional destination… one hour, thirty seven minutes"

It was in a place known as Dimension X or the part of it that the pilot of the TG-1 experimental jump fighter now known as Bird was finally putting the dangers of this dreaded dimension behind her, the locals in this part of Dimension X called the universe in which they existed the Aniverse.

Dimension X is referred to as; to those who exist outside of its boundaries, the hell dimension, as this is a dimension where the most dangerous, the most destructive and the most vile things are said to exist… with very small patches of safety which could be crushed under the foot of any number of tyrants in a matter of minutes or hours … the wars here are said to never slow down and few fight for a good reason more than living in fear of being destroyed by all the powerful existences in this one place.

The being known as Bird survived many a trial to return home, she may lack emotions and the ability to feel pain which to some the lack these two things would seem like a good thing, but feeling emotions let you know you have a heart and feeling pain lets you know you're alive as well as give the person a sense of touch.

Bird was barely alive right now trapped in her own mind as her physical heart slowly shut down and when it went so would the rest of her body, time was her only enemy right now.

It was an average day for the trio of animals that transcended a vast distance of time and space to reach Hollywood and to find a human named Penny, one was a male small white shepherd named Bolt that once believed himself to be a dog with super powers however he learned slowly that he was just a normal dog that happened to be a forced method actor who didn't get the memo that his life was a sham and at one point believed packing peanuts were dangerous… he still believed they were… but only as a choking hazard and the only true thing about him that was super was his athleticism and his knew found sense of intelligence which wouldn't have occurred if he hadn't met...

Mittens the declawed homeless nearly starved to death New York accented female cat named probably for the white paws she sported looking like her namesake that Bolt had dragged from New York all the way to California just so he could protect his person and she at first thought he was crazy when he first cornered her and she read his dog collar that led to her being where she is now, happy with a family to call her own again in a quiet rural area, well it was mostly quiet if it wasn't for a loud obnoxious wonderful hamster that pushed her to follow Bolt and secretly her heart.

After learning of Bolts existence as an actor Mittens had pitied him and tried to force him to see reason in pursuing Penny, she ended up teaching him how to be a dog after a bit and told him about the things she likes like that yarn ball he got her, she had grown to love him yet she became so stubborn when she had built a small shelter for the two of them completely forgetting that the hamster existed; though this didn't stop her from saving the idiot from sacrificing himself later on, when she was left in the dust so that Bolt could continue his journey to find Penny she was rather heartbroken.

She had helped Bolt save Penny by stopping him in time to recognize the fire and that his feelings for Penny couldn't be changed nor hers for him as she was his human, that and his sense of hearing would cause him to go running to the girls rescue the instant she called for help his protective streak never stopped even if he knew he wasn't a super hero now.

As for the energetic male hamster named Rhino; who had by some really odd test results found out from the vet that he'd live a lot longer than a normal hamster and having something to do with wolverine DNA and age slowing properties which even had both Bolt and Mittens stumped at how it could have been possible that what he had bragged about was completely true, had done some incredible things for being stuck in his plastic sphere almost twenty four seven, he loved to watch TV or in particular the show that Bolt used to act in before it went crazy with aliens as a plot line he was a pure Bolt fan through and through even if the dog he idolized wasn't really a super hero, anytime the old bolt show reruns came on he'd park himself on the couch and nothing could move him not even the real Bolt whom he still considers a hero to this day and holds in high regard for saving his person's life from a fire without super powers.

Technically Rhino would still sometimes complain that Bolt had used his super bark to save Penny, but Mittens had to put her paw down on his skull and hard which quickly made him quiet down.

Right now they were relaxing, Bolt was resting his head on the porch, Mittens was resting her head on his back enjoying the close contact and it was just generally considered that cats and dogs hate each other when it couldn't be further from the truth as sometimes cats and dogs got along quite well it was just personality issues that usually kept them separate however hers thankfully meshed with Bolts, he didn't seem to mind at all that he had a cat cuddling his back of course he wasn't aware of her unusual affections for him beyond simple friendship as he really didn't know a lot about the world and he was still learning he didn't know what love was like with the exception of knowing what a strong bond was like, it's what he had with the human known as Penny and his toy Mr. Carrot.

Rhino was out getting a lot of exercise in his new hamster ball; his old one was crushed by falling debris that almost took the hamsters life if not for the timely intervention of Mittens at the turning point in all of their lives, which was when the studio for Bolts television show burned down.

Life couldn't be simpler; Penny along with her mother were out for the day shopping for supplies and it didn't mean any trouble at all could befall three innocent house pets.

In space around Saturn's rings a form slowly slid out of a portal that opened and inside of the forms red hemisphere sat an aware figure with hollow eyes that stared out into space across a vast distance to home, it should have felt great to be back from dimension X but it wasn't the first time Bird had been there and back.

First time it was with mutated turtles that lived in New York and the thing called the Technodrome, second time it was a lab accident involving shark genetics that ported her to a place called Mobius and thankfully Bird had a great recall of memory for the coordinates back home from that horrible second disaster and finally this time aboard a oddly built ship with an onboard computer with a voice reminiscent of one she remembered from visiting Mobius.

The only reason why she could reminisce is because this computer actually had sentience unlike the idiotic one onboard that massive pile of spherical junk, if she could feel anything from those trying times and memories she would have been happy to recall all of the destruction one wouldn't believe someone of her stature was capable of, all that was there was her blank of emotions mind then again logic dictated this would later be seen as more of a traumatic experience then a successful application of knowledge.

"Pilot Bird, who is this Terra Ground you keep referring to and what is its importance in reference to me?" Inside the avian being in the banana shaped pilots seat face towards the forward view screen where there was nothing but empty space and a few loose asteroids floating around as they left Saturn behind them, on the side was a separate screen for diagnostics, data and communications console which could also be used to insert keyed in commands, to the right was a food supply storage and a tank of water which there wasn't much of as the ship wasn't previously stocked with anything except maybe a bit of water for coolant used in the weapons testing.

After a few moments of staring at the vast distance between her and Earth blankly Bird turned the chair to the left and use her undamaged slightly singed left wing to slowly type out a response, by this point the computer assumed it's pilot was mute, couldn't talk for some other reason or just simply refused to talk, it also seemed strange that the pilot wasn't reacting to the injuries sustained in a normal manner either, along with muscle control issues something was seriously wrong here.

"My name is to be Terra Ground?"

"Affirmation acquired, is there any significance to my name other then the fact that it matches designation TG which initially stood for Toad Grappler?"

"Ah my name is in double reference to your home planet, before we can land on this planet of your origin I'm to scan the populations and level of technology for any dangers to my pilot should my pilot wish to exit me it will not be in immediate hostile territory unless deemed a necessary risk."

"I'm am only expressing my duties to you as my one and only pilot as I have been designed to protect you, even if I am stolen property and you were not the pilot meant for me, you are none the less my permanent pilot unless you assign me to someone else I can only take on passengers for you should you require it."

"I became aware of the fact that I was stolen approximately one hour twenty two minutes and seventeen seconds into gating to pilots confirmed home dimension, I'd advise for you to assign the dimensions names so that I may record travel data for each now so we can discuss a rather urgent matter involving this dimensions affect on my systems, it is not immediately dangerous but should it become so I will warn you with haste."

Bird's continuous blank look and motionless body sat there for five minutes before responding, it lead to Terra thinking that she had fallen asleep with her eyes open but with her internal sensors she could still read rather strong if somewhat strained heartbeats.

"This dimension is now labeled Home, previous dimension is now labeled 'Dimension X, don't go here unless you have a death wish' I assume this is an attempt at humor?" It wasn't a attempt at humor it was literally a very logical thing to place down in case someone else got a hold of this ship.

"…. Cataloguing new information… do you have any more information to extrapolate?"

It took an entire hour but a watered down version of every single danger Bird had come across in dimension X had finally been typed out and entered in, it was all in neat little sections from aliens that smelled like pizzas to vicious armadas of ape like beings in which the name Miyu was referenced in support of Bird escaping death multiple times.

There was also the reference of a Captain Mimi in which helped her get at Terra in the first place, which the computer had recognized in its database which caused it to ask this next question.

"Home dimension is safer in pilot's opinion?"

"Yes, proceeding with knowledge of affects of this dimension on my systems, first and foremost maser weapon systems are rendered ineffective for as long as we reside in home dimension, second energy needed for creating another gateway will take time to charge and far more is needed to exit this dimension than to enter it, these are the only negative effects I currently have found."

"Yes, two positive effects, one is the non maser based energy missile system seems to be working at twice the efficiency allowing for rapid use though the weapon is not very powerful and might overheat from extended use, the other effect is that my scanners have a boosted range in exchange for the inability to use the maser weaponry I was designed with efficiently so I shunted the energy for maximum range of awareness for evasive protocols as I'm not at full combat ability."

"Affirmative, we are now approaching an orbiting pattern of the planet Earth and I'm scanning for safe places to land does pilot Bird know the location she wishes to go to?"

Bird looked blankly to the computer screen showing a two dimensional representation of Earth and she reached up her wing to touch the screen and shifted the two dimension sphere into a spin till she stopped it by pressing a specific spot to the lower west side of the Unite States, she knew what she was looking for to be there.

"Scanning location… error no safe zones within chosen location, choosing closest rural areas to… Los Angeles California… for safety of ship and pilot, avoidance of high atmospheric detection is optional should I hide our approach as to avoid any chance that locals will try to discover our landing area through data of initial descent? It is estimated that there is a eighty percent chance that subjects known as humans will not take my appearance very well should we be detected at any time entering Earth's atmosphere and will most likely do something compared to this HG Wells incident I just discovered in the human communications network, humans are a species with great imaginations but they act like their children when it comes to the unknown."

"Affirmative, activating sensor cloak and beginning descent."

In Los Angeles a rather specific dog froze and turned her head towards the sky.

"She's… she's back… she's… alive." The dog started to shed tears and she started getting a warm feeling in her gut that usually wasn't there to begin with, her heart soared with the knowledge that a special someone was alive and was coming her way, she felt like doing something that many people wouldn't have expected of her given her rather dark nature and usual attitude.

She had to put a stop to what she was planning for today immediately.

She ran up to her two heavy handed dog associates and rammed them both hard telling them to get lost and not to proceed to harass their usual two targets; the two bullies quickly heeded her and left, she looked to the usual targets who were two dogs that were best friends trying to be appear as meaningful as she could considering she usually caused them both tons of trouble and harassed them for so long and for once she was going to do something that seemed completely against her nature, well to them anyway.

These two only knew grief from the false her and didn't know who she really was, now all she had to do was get the point across the only way she knew how and boy would it ever sting and make these two think twice about interfering in what she was going to inevitably do.

"Listen very carefully to what I'm about to tell you… I give up… I'm stopping any plan I've had today for the very reason that the situation has… changed… for me at least… tell you're oh so cheery boss that… you know what, never mind… what I really wanted to say was that I… I…" She trailed off looking rather sheepish as she knew the next words out of her mouth would cause quite a stir, but she didn't care she was going to go after that feeling no matter what, she wanted to see Bird again whether hell froze over because of her or not, as an odd note hell did in fact freeze over the second she stated her next two words but that was not here but only there.

"That you what, this has got to be another evil plan of yours" The smaller of the two dogs she usually didn't acknowledge so much, it was the bigger one she had to convince.

The bigger one was the one she had tried so hard to set up for her… friend would be the word for it… and her friend missed so many opportunities yet she still tried to get her friend and this larger dog together despite the fact that this dog had found someone else already, even then she still wanted her friend to admit her feelings to this dog and it frustrated her greatly that the friend wouldn't do it, but now that Bird was back she didn't have to set anything up.

But now she wouldn't be able to help her… friend… anymore in her own special way as she didn't care anymore for these two words held a lot of power behind them as she yelled them to the clouds above.

"I QUIT" The instant she finished saying the word quit her back exploded in pain and literally as she let loose a shriek of agony but she gritted her teeth and bared the pain both the two dogs stare in awe as two burn marks formed on the dogs back then faded away leaving wisps of smoke pouring off the female dog.

"What… what was that all about, what just happened… are… are you okay…" the bigger dog asked in total confusion.

"What… happened… was…. the… happiest… day… in… my… life…" the female dog was breathing hard saying the words through her gritted teeth as she was busy shouldering the intense pain like a pro, she even smiled a true smile and not an evil smirk she was known for by these two and after catching her breath she started to sing in a rather cheery voice that confused both the dogs because the song was rather odd and cheery for this usually dark and devious dog.

"Woke up late this morning, my brainstorm was really rolling

Like frogs and dogs are raining from the skyyy…

Everything was awful to me, now it's as it should be

If things get on, then I will get byyy….

But then I close my eyes and I come to smile

I knew I was bad and getting worse

But after all this I can rest my wiles

Because I'm going to partae… partae"

The two dogs were looking worriedly at the dog as she'd never acted this way before the explosion from her back which had added even more questions, not to mention they never knew she could sing so well and when she started dancing with the larger dog they knew she had gone nuts or something had just drastically changed in their usual dynamics.

"Party party, join me join me

Party party, join me join me

Shake my tail away and I can

Party party, join me join me

Shake my blues awayyyyyyy… Muwhahaha"

"Yo, sounds like a great vacation mon!" said a Jamaican fruit bat that happened to be in the area with two others sitting on perch listening to the dog's musical number where she played her paws on a nearby trashcan in a beat to keep tempo with music that was playing the background that was oddly relevant to the situation, it was rather fruity for this particular dog and out of character.

"Blues" both the dogs had uttered at the same time if what she normally did was because she was feeling sad then they didn't want to know what would happen when she was seriously depressed, oh the damage that one dog could have wreaked and their imaginations went wild with how things could have possibly gone worse instead of her trying to sing them to death with musical numbers, the larger dog actually started getting into the rhythm and the smaller dog tried to berate him for it.

"It's my party shaking and I'm just shaking it here…

You can see my smile, I'm grinning from ear to ear…

I sing my song and I should really sing it clear…

Just sing along with meee…."

Both male dogs looked confused but shrugged what could it hurt this was a rather strange occasion after watching this dog tell off her cronies, she looked apologetically at them afterwards, her back exploded and now she was singing merrily with music from nowhere, confused didn't even begin to describe how they felt.

"Party party, join me join me

Party party, join me join me

I'll shake my day away so I can

Partaeee... partaeee!"

"Her dancing's fun." the large dog stated.

"Partaeee... partaeee!"

"Never seen a party like this." the smaller dog said

"Partaeee... partaeee!"

Then the song and dance routine was over the female dog that had in particular caused these two male dogs so many issues cheerfully shook both their paws.

"Thanks for all the fun and if we see each other again it'd be too soon, now all I need to do is go grab my special bone and find out where to go, oooh I'm so excited… so long my friends oh and ask Anna what she truly thinks of you big guy, if she doesn't tell you I will." the two male dogs just stared after her as she ran off in a skipping trot on all fours.

"Are you as disturbed as I am by what just happened?" the smaller dog asked the bigger one.

"Well let's see first of all one of our worst enemies for a while stops her own two cronies from badgering us, she looked actually apologetic, her back exploded after saying I quit and that looked rather painful." The big dog was rather confused as his partner and friend.

"Yeah not to mention the song and dance number with a rather catchy beat, then she states she's leaving, called us her friends and said something about an Anna thinking of you, but we don't know any Anna's unless she meant... do you think she's going back to san Francisco?" Both Dogs pause and looked at each other, well things just got more interesting as their worst nemesis either went insane or something drastically changed her mood to such an extreme that she wouldn't be a threat to them anymore.

But they continued to wonder what caused that to happen to that particular dog as she was vicious, mean spirited and had no heart… or did she? The implications were a tad staggering when it was later explained in full.
