The Hunters
They say you don't understand life until you experience death. Well I've almost drowned, been abused by my oppressors, nearly been killed by bears, almost killed by a moose, and I've almost fallen off a cliff, excluding the time I did fall off a cliff, to my death. And after all that, I was given the chance to live through a bunch of hunters trying to kill me. Not hunters like the people, but hunters like wolves or dogs. Unlike the hunters in my time, these ones are different, mostly because they have technological modifications to them. And I am their prey. They think they can catch me. Well, they got another thing coming. No one can catch me for I am the fastest dog in Nome.
A wolf/dog hybrid is walking around the isolated town of Nome, Alaska. He sighs heavily because he has nothing to do. He rides in Duke's Busch plane, but that was delivering mail to Dead Horse… or some city out there. The sled team is basically on vacation so… there is nothing to do. He could go to Jenna's, but it is dark out so she'll probably be sleeping.
On a nearby building, a wolf/ German shepherd mix and a German shepherd are watching the wolf/ husky mix walk down the streets.
"Is that really Balto," asks the female German shepherd.
"Of course it is. We all read the briefings for this mission, right?"
"Well… I might have skipped over some of it."
"I figured as much," the hybrid says, sighing heavily, "but you should have read it. This mission is very important."
The German shepherd looks down in embarrassment. "Alex… I'm sorry. So, are all the teams in position?"
"Yes Elizabeth, Kyle and Allison are somewhere on the other side of town. Hunter and Ryan are down on the street. Viktor and Jakob are near the boat that's near the shore. Alice, Daniel, Juan, Neil, Cole, Sarah, Niklos, Seth, Isaac, Jake, Allison, and Hector are in the alleys, waiting for the signal."
"Alex, I hear Kyle and the others have implants, including you and me. Is that true?"
"Yes, though I wouldn't say implants. They're more of… modifications," Alex says while nodding. "Kyle's strength has been increased due to the implants in his brain. Ryan's right eye has been replaced with an optical camera and laser. My teeth have been replaced with self sustaining metal. Hunter's left eye has been replaced with an optical scope and laser. The rest who have modifications are not important to discuss."
Elizabeth looks at the shrinking form of Balto. "So why do we have to kill him?"
"Because he is our prey. For centuries, we've hunted prey, testing our mettle against the toughest creatures. We decided to hunt something that's in its own environment. Maybe he can prove a challenge."
"Him? I don't think he's a challenge, for Hunter, Ryan, and you could easily outrun him, let alone tear him to shreds. I doubt he could put up a fight."
"Elizabeth, first rule of hunting; never underestimate your prey."
They both sit in silence and they watch Balto disappear from view.

One more thing; out of all my stories, which one has the best intro? Just leave it in the review.
