Chapter 1

Same hero, old enemy.

It was 7:30 in the morning and Kodiak and the other sled dogs had just arrived at Nome, with the mail.

"Good work guys, and Dusty, we made it on time again." said Kodiak. "Yeah there's no more snow to slip on, just the exception of thin ice." replied Kirby, the former sled dog leader.

As the musher and post master talked to each other, they untied the dogs and gave them water. Kodiak said. "Well I have to go now catch you later." as he ran of heading out of town towards the wrecked boat, that his dad lived in.

"Kodiak wait." said Jenna. "Are you going to your dad", she asked. "Yes, why." asked Kodiak. "My owner, Rosie, and I are going on a picnic today, so tell him I won't be back until the afternoon." "Ok bye mom." replied Kodiak, as he continued on his way.

Jenna was about to head back to her owner Rosie, when she heard a familiar voice behind her say, "Long time no see Jenna".

"What, huh, Steele what are you doing here, I thought you left for good?" asked Jenna. "I did, but decided to come back, I knew you couldn't live without me", replied Steele as he rubbed up against Jenna.

"Look I love Balto not you so leave me alone Steele." Jenna told him, as she walked away from Steele. "Ah yes how is that half-breed going." asked Steele still annoying Jenna. "He is doing fine." snapped Jenna for she was angry at what Steele had called Balto.

"How about your son" asked Steele? "He's fine too, and is lead dog of the mail sled team." replied Jenna. "You don't say, well I have to go now." said Steele in a sly voice then he walked down a side ally.

"Hey Dad." called Kodiak. "Yes." yawned Balto, as he came out from underneath his blankets.

"Mom told me to tell you that her owner, and herself were going on a picnic today and wont be back until the afternoon. "Ok son, thanks for the information, have you seen Boris around lately?" asked Balto. "No, but I just came back with the mail, so if I see him, I will let you know." said Kodiak

"NO, NO, NO, I will not play another game of smush, now will you just go and leave me alone." said Boris. "Aw c'mon Uncle Boris, play with us please." pestered Muc. "No, what don't you two understand about the word NO. "asked Boris.

"Alright but could you please close your eyes." asked Muc. "Ok as long as it's not one of your silly games." replied Boris.

A few seconds latter after Muc had finished signaling to Luc. "Ok you can open your eyes now." said Muc. "ARRH." shouted Boris as Luc jumped over him, nearly hitting him on the way, and covering him in snow when he landed. "You said that you wouldn't play one of your silly games, if that isn't silly I don't know what is." shouted Boris, angrily. "Well it's not sill to us." replied Muc

."Look boys you want to have fun right." asked Boris. "Yes." replied Muc. "Well then GO AWAY, AND PLAY BY YOURSELVES, AND LEAVE ME ALONE." shouted Boris. "Ok uncle Boris." replied Muc. "Good I finally got rid of them for now", thought Boris to himself.

A few minutes later and Boris was walking up the ramp onto the wrecked boat. "Balto have I ever told you how annoying those to nephews of mine are." asked Boris. "C'mon Boris, you know that they love you, and just want to play with you." replied Balto. "Love yes, that I know for sure, but they don't have to annoy me all the time." Replied Boris, as he waddled around the cabin and sat down on a blanket.

Alright I guess they do annoy you, but you have to take into consideration that they are only young." replied Balto. Just then Kodiak came from the beach after watching the sunrise.

"Hey Dad, I have to go and deliver the mail to White Mountain now." And at that Kodiak left to leave for Nome.

"Hi guys how is the mail job treating you", asked Steele. "Fine, Steele." replied Kirby, not knowing that Steele was slowly cutting the leather strap with one of his nails, until only half of it was still connected to the rest. "That's good, well I have to go now." said Steele as he turned around and saw Kodiak coming.
