Many years ago...

In the forest, a black wolf pup was playing with another wolf pup with black and white fur.

"Can't catch me, can't catch me~" The female wolf pup teased.

"I'll catch you, Miranda!" The male wolf pup replied.

The female wolf pup named Miranda laughed as she rushed off from the male pup. "I don't think so!~"

The male pup then tackled Miranda, rolling around laughing.

"Ookami, stop!" The female wolf pup laughed. "That tickles!"

"No, I don't think I will." Ookami teased her.

Miranda laughed before she playfully bit on his ear.

"Hey, no fair!" Ookami laughed back.

"You started it!" Miranda laughed.

The two soon rolled down a hill together before Miranda then held down Ookami in victory.

"Pinned ya." Miranda teased.

"Hey, let me up!" Ookami shoved her over, he then smirked while tackling her as she walked off and they rolled again, only for him to be pinned down again.

"Pinned ya again." Miranda smirked.

"Okay, okay, you win, you win," Ookami gave in. "I give up."

Miranda laughed at him.

Ookami stood up and stretched once he got off from Miranda after she got up herself. "Are you ever gonna grow up?"

"I dunno, maybe," Miranda smirked. "Are you?"

"Maybe." Ookami laughed.

Miranda and Ookami laughed until they heard gunshots. "HUNTERS!" They then panicked.

"Pups, come inside!" An older female voice called out.

Miranda and Ookami ran together and hid inside of a cave while hunters came out to hunt for innocent animals.

"Mama, what are we going to do?" Miranda asked.

"I wanna fight." Ookami growled.

"No, Ookami, it's too dangerous, you should all stay here until the humans leave." Michelene told the pups.

"Yes, ma'am." Ookami replied.

The hunters soon then left after grabbing some of the animals of the forest. The hunters soon got back into their truck and drove off, leaving the forest, allowing Ookami and Miranda to go outside and play again.

"I wonder what it's like to mate with a human?" Ookami wondered.

"Me too," Miranda agreed. "Not all humans are bad."

"You two are right, but I'm afraid a wolf marrying a human is just wishful thinking." Michelene told them as she went back into the den.

"Hmm..." Ookami and Miranda hummed in thought.

But Michelene was wrong because Miranda and Ookami both married to two humans named John and Hana and also had children. Miranda had three kids: Jamie, Jen, and Mike while Ookami had two children: Yuki and Ame. Ookami moved to Tokyo, Japan when he met Hana. Both of them died from being killed hunters, now a new generation has begun.

Many years later...

It was a summer afternoon. It was peaceful day, well, sort of. Cindy was being bullied by Kevin and his goons. Cindy sighed as she sat around while being picked on by Kevin and the others.

"Aww... What's the matter?" Kevin mocked. "Where are your little friends?"

"Hey, look at what the brat's got?" Lee asked as she pulled out a journal.

"Hey, that's mine, give it back!" Cindy pouted.

Lee pulled it out of her reach and took out a bobby pin to pick the lock and read it.

"Give that back!" Cindy jumped up, trying to get her journal back.

"Pipe down!" Sarah huffed as she pushed Cindy down.

"Give it to me now!" Cindy demanded.

Everyone tackled her and ready her journal.

"Penn, heeeelp!" Cindy cried out.

"Kinda busy right now, Monkey!" Penn called back as he was reading The Bible, ironically.

"Hey, I've got somethin'," Sugar said. "It feels hard though."

"That's Plank!" Jonny told her.

"Help! Help!" Cindy muffled.

"Okay," Penn put the book down and then went to find someone to help Cindy. "Mark?"

"It's Mike." Mike deadpanned as she sat on the bench with an Action Guy biography on the creator.

"Whatever, anyway, some bullies are terrorizing my little monkey." Penn told her.

"WHAT?!" Mike yelped. "WHY DIDN'T YOU DO ANYTHING?!"

"I was reading the Bible!" Penn defended.

"You are an atheist!" Mike reminded him.

"I just like to make fun of it," Penn chuckled. "Cain and Abel... God, I wish I had a brother."

Mike face-palmed and rolled her eyes before running over to save Cindy from the bullies.

Cindy was still holding her journal as the bullies was trying to grab it

"Hey, guys, I've got something." Jonny said as he grabbed Mike's arm.

"Hi, mind if I cut in?" Mike narrowed her eyes.

"Aw, go away, Mike," Kevin scoffed. "You think you're so cool, but you're just an orphan weirdo like your whole family!"

"Uh-oh, he did not just say that." Cindy gasped.

Mike just rolled her eyes and flung Jonny against the others, knocking them down like bowling pins. "Which one has your diary?" she asked Cindy.

"Lee." Cindy pointed to the eldest Kanker sister.

"Squealer." Lee scoffed.

"Cover your eyes, Cindy," Mike said. "It's about to get ugly."

"I'm already on it, Mike." Cindy replied as she covered her eyes.

"Stealing journals from the innocents, huh, Leanne?" Mike smirked.

"Shut up... Michelene!" Lee smirked back. "You stole my sisters from me anyways!"

Mike soon punched Lee right in the face, giving her two black eyes and knocking her down with a bruised and bloodied nose. Mike then took the journal from her hands and gave it back to Cindy.

"Oh, thank you, Mike," Cindy praised. "Thank you, thank you, you're the greatest."

"I try, now get out of here while I take care of the rest." Mike told her.

"Okay, bye, Mike, have a good day." Cindy walked away with her journal.

"Now, what to do with you?" Mike glared right at Sarah.

"Uh, let me go scott free?" Sarah smiled nervously.

"Nah, I don't think so, you've been a thorn in my side ever since we met." Mike scoffed.

"No, please," Sarah begged. "I promise I'll behave. I'll be nice to Ed too! I promise, I promise!"

"LIES!" Mike snapped at her.

Sarah only cried out and ran away from Mike before anything could happen to her.

"Spoiled brat," Mike scoffed before she looked to the other bullies who were just getting up. "All you guys, listen up, and you better listen good!"

The bullies gulped in fright.

"You listening?" Mike glared at them.

The bullies nodded nervously to Mike to show them that they were listening to her.

"Good, because let me tell you something," Mike replied. "I can be worse than Jo and you'll wish it would've been her beating you guys up."

The bullies looked downright terrified.

"So unless you want that to happen, LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" Mike glared as her fangs came out from anger and rage.

"LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Kevin yelped out.

The bullies ran away, screaming for their mommies even Jonny yelled that he peed his pants.

"Fraidy cats." Mike smirked before going off back to her book.

"Mike, remind me to never mess with you," Cindy said. "You're loony."

"Now I know why Jo wants to beat those guys up every day." Mike replied.

"Tell me about it, if I could fight, I'd probably do the same." Cindy replied.

"Well, try to be more careful, okay?" Mike told her.

"All right, see ya." Cindy replied before she walked away.

"Bye, Melvin." Penn said as he went with Cindy.

"It's-Ah, forget it." Mike said before going back to her book.

At Mike's house, Jamie came back home after seeing Coop and Kiva and sighed before he went to his room to take a small nap. When he landed in his bed, he looked to his nightstand and saw a framed photograph of a younger version with his deceased parents: John and Miranda.

"I miss you guys..." Jame sighed as he held the picture before kissing his parents' cheeks with a teardrop rolling down his cheek. He then noticed a letter on his stand. "Huh? What's this?" He looked around before shrugging as he opened up the letter and decided to read it. His eye's widened as he was still reading the letter. "I don't believe this."

Jen was at the Mall with her friends as they were on their lunch break, but she soon got a text from her brother. "Oh, no!" she then gasped.

"Something wrong, Jen?" Caitlin asked.

"I have to go home," Jen told her friends. "It's Jamie. He says it's very important."

"Is something wrong?" Wyatt asked.

"Jamie says it's very important." Jen told her friends.

"You gonna be okay, Jen?" Nikki asked.

"Yes, I'm sorry, but I have to go, I'll see you guys later." Jen told her friends as she got out of her chair and rushed back home.

The others all looked at each other in concern for their friend, Jen.

Mike and Jen soon rushed back home to see their brother.

"What's wrong, Jamie?" Mike asked.

"Yeah, what's the emergency?" Jen added.

"This letter." Jamie told his sisters as he showed them.

Jen gasped and Mike just looked confused.

"What's wrong?" Mike asked.

Jamie showed the letter to Mike and Jen so they could see for themselves.

"I can't believe he's gone." Jen said shallowly.

"Who?" Mike asked.

"I know, Jen, I'm sorry." Jamie said.

"Who's gone?" Mike asked her siblings.

"Ookami." Jen and Jamie told her.

"Uh, who is Ookami?" Mike asked her siblings.

"An old family friend, very old..." Jen said.

"He was almost like a brother to Mom." Jamie added.

"Really? Wow." Mike replied.

"He moved to Tokyo, Japan for college," Jamie explained. "That's when he met Hana, his wife, and got married and had two kids, Yuki and Ame."

"How did he die?" Mike asked.

"Hunters..." Jamie growled.

"Can't stand 'em." Jen huffed herself.

"So, is Hana a wolf too?" Mike asked.

"Actually, Mike, Ookami and Hana's relationship is a lot like Mom and Dad's in a way," Jen explained. "Hana is a mortal human woman while Ookami was a transforming wolfman."

"What about their kids?" Mike asked.

"They're wolves too." Jen informed.

"But half, they can transform of course." Jamie added.

"How do I not know about this?" Mike held her head.

"It was a long time ago," Jen replied. "You were just a baby."

"So, I did meet Hana and Ookami?" Mike asked.

Jen and Jamie nodded, though she was just a baby back then, but she did in fact meet them.

"Oh, okay, that makes sense." Mike said.

"And Hana needs our help with the kids." Jamie then said.

"Well, I should be able to tell her what she needs to know," Jen said. "I remember when Mike started teething that she nearly chewed on the furniture."

"I did?" Mike asked in surprise.

"Yeah," Jamie laughed. "And I remember that Jen was always trying to hunt for food."

"So, um, when can we go see them?" Mike asked her older siblings.

"She said as soon as possible." Jen replied.

"We might as well get packing now." Jamie suggested.

The Mazinsky siblings nodded to each other and went packing to go to Tokyo, Japan.

"So, Jen, um, you ever think about college?" Mike asked.

"All the time, I'm not sure what my major should be though." Jen replied as she helped her sister pack.

"I know what you mean," Mike replied. "I don't know what my major should be, but then again, I'm still young."

"You're too young to be thinking about college right now, you can think about it when you're around my age." Jen teased.

Mike smirked as she rolled her eyes as she was finishing packing.

"We're on our way, Hana," Jamie promised. "For you, Yuki, and Ame."

After they were done packing, they then headed for the airport. Penn and Cindy appeared to be there together, trying to get people to give them money for magic tricks. A teenage girl was with two dogs. One dog was a Siberian husky and the other one was a wolf dog who had leashes on and the dogs looked at the Mazinsky siblings as they were coming and started to bark.

"Hey, what's with you two?" The girl asked her pets.

"Be amazed as I make my darling little niece disappear!" Penn told the crowd.

"No one said I had to disappear!" Cindy yelped.

"Quiet, you." Penn shoved a lollipop in her mouth.

"Mm... Cherry, my favorite..." Cindy hummed.

Mike, Jen, and Jamie soon went to sit down to wait for their flight and then saw Penn and Cindy making their own magic show. The two dogs then ran off to the Mazinsky siblings, still barking.

"Hey, come back here!" The girl called out to her dogs.

The three watched what was going on before turning to the dogs that rushed over toward them.

"Where the heck did they come from?" Mike wondered.

"I'm so sorry, I don't know what got into them." The girl told the siblings as she tried to pull her dogs back.

The dogs were barking and growling at them.

"Down, boys, bad!" The girl scolded her dogs. "I'm so sorry about this, you guys."

"Oh, it's no trouble," Jen reassured as she put her hand out. "We like dogs."

The dogs sniffed her hand and licked it.

"See?" Jen smiled. "No harm done."

"Uh... Well, I'll be," The girl replied. "I wonder what they were barking at you for?"

Jen, Jamie, and Mike just shrugged like they didn't know.

Penn soon put a cloth over Cindy and removed it to show she had disappeared in thin air. "Ta-da!"

The audience oohed to that.

"Now then, I shall bring my little niece back." Penn told the crowd.

"I wonder where Cindy went?" Jen wondered.

"Maybe Penn ate her." Mike smirked.

Penn then pulled the cloth back, but Cindy wasn't there. "What the?!"

Some of the audience laughed.

"Excuse me for a moment." Penn smiled sheepishly before dashing off to find Cindy, but unknown to him, Cindy was on his back with a smirk.

'Attention,' A woman on the PA announced. 'Flight 22 to Tokyo, Japan is ready. I repeat, Flight 22 to Tokyo, Japan is ready.'

"That's us, come on, guys." Jamie told his sisters.

"Right, Jamie." Jen and Mike nodded, following their brother to their plane.

They went to the security guard to check get checked out and making sure they not carrying anything.

The security guard saw Mike's backpack moving a little. "Excuse me, young man," he then stopped the tomboy. "What's in your backpack?"

"You know, just some stuff from home," Mike shrugged. "Comics and other books like that. Nothing metal though."

"Your backpack moved," The security guard replied. "I'm gonna have to investigate it."

Mike shrugged and took off her backpack and gave it to the security guard.

"Aha!" The security guard realized, pulling out Ling-Ling. "What's this?"

"My stuffed animal that I've kept since I was a kid." Mike lied.

"Hmm... Seems kinda realistic for a stuffed animal..." The security guard observed Ling-Ling. "You sure he isn't a dog? Dogs belong in the carrier hold."

Ling-Ling bit his lip as he did his best to stay still so he could ride on the plane with Mike, Jen, and Jamie.

"If he was a dog, why doesn't he bark or wag his tail like one?" Jamie defended his littlest sister.

"He smells too real to be a stuffed animal." The security guard glared.

"He's my best friend from childhood," Mike said as she took Ling-Ling. "Watch this, he talks when you hug him tight enough!" she then hugged the battle monster good and night.

"Uh... Ling-Ling love America and not terrorist like Osama Bin Laden or Kathie Lee Gifford!" Ling-Ling announced with a smile to sound like a beloved child's toy.

"Good enough for me," The security guard replied. "You may proceed."

Mike then put Ling-Ling back in her backpack and she followed Jen and Jamie to get onto the plane.
