All Dogs Go To Heaven Revision
First I would like to apologize for the absurdly long wait it's been, I had originally hoped to get a story started by December but that didn't happen but after all this time my next story is finally ready to be posted; this one will continue my All Dogs Go To Heaven trilogy, while my last story was a remake of the ADGTH 2 this one will act as a revision of the first movie. I feel it's worth noting that while having about the same level of drama and emotion this story will darker and more intense than ADGTH 2 having some truly nightmarish moments, especially in it's depiction of Hell. Also due to the story revolving around heaven and hell there will some ideas and themes involving christianity that play into it and many characters don't agree with these ideas so if something comes of as offensive I assure you it is in no way meant to be and is just part of the story.
I naturally claim no ownership over the characters of this story who are the property of Don Bloth and original script writer David N. Weiss, additional credit goes to Gary Goldman and John Pomeroy who Co produced the original film with Bloth. Beyond those details I hope whoever reads this enjoys this new take on the original classic film.
: Prologue:
The breakout
The whole place smelled of death maybe not literally but there was definitely a feeling of death swelling around the entire area, a feeling of the inevitable of the end. There were numerous dogs all locked in cages many of which howled to the sky hoping for some form of deliverance, it wasn't coming. The scent of ones final breath filled the area another would soon take it. They could all feel it and almost smell it, some prayed for salvation; He didn't need help from anyone, Charlie Barkin made his own luck.
Charlie was waiting in his cell staring at the clock on the wall 45 minutes to midnight the clock was counting down to his moment of opportunity though he wasn't ready yet but soon he would be. Charlie paced around his cage rather casually in fact it didn't look like he was concerned about his impending death at all. Charlie watched as a door opened two men emerged from it though they didn't come towards him instead opening the cage containing another dog this one was rather small a poodle from the looks of it they took him and placed him on a leash walking him out the door it was the one to the front not the back that dog wasn't taking the last walk apparently someone wanted him, lucky him not that Charlie cared. As this happened two dogs approached Charlie one was rotwiller the other st Bernard they both had rather mocking looks on their face.
"Well I'm guessing you don't like it here do you well don't worry you won't be around much longer" The rotwiller taunted.
"Maybe we should take him back wait for the big one" The St Bernard replied.
Charlie ignored their taunts they could have their moment for now before Charlie wiped that smirk off their face.
"I believe I am allowed a last request" Charlie spoke his voice was soft, smooth and without a hint of concern.
"Fine what do you want?" The St Bernard demanded.
"A little time with that rather attractive Setter" Charlie said with a bit of a smirk.
"You think she would agree to anything you ask her" The Rotwiller said annoyed.
Charlie grinned at his question he was most certain she would considering she had been pinning after him from her cage for the last few day; she would be most pleased with his request and Charlie was fairly sure he would be pleased as well.
"Why don't you ask her and find out" Charlie said still grinning.
The two dogs angrily turned away and moved to the further side of the room where an Irish Setter was sleeping in a cage. Charlie always liked Irish Setters they were often super hot, just the way Charlie liked them. He turned back towards the clock he would have to make this quick when she said yes, he was fairly certain his partner was already in position. Charlie watched as the two dogs came back the Irish Setter was with them a muzzle around her attached to a leash which one carried in it's mouth, they opened Charlie's cage and motioned him out directing them to a room in the back which they entered. Charlie entered it slowly the Irish Setter followed clearly nervous, he would change that soon.
"Make it quick your big moment is almost here" The St Bernard said annoyed.
"Can't wait" Charlie replied and it was true his big moment would be a masterpiece.
They then slammed the door leaving them. Charlie reached up and very gently removed the muzzle around her. She looked up confused and a bit nervous.
"Thanks so here we are you want to" She began to say.
Charlie turned away faking a look of distaste.
"I didn't bring you in here for that you spent far too long in that terrible cage I couldn't bear seeing you in there any longer so I had to give you a moment beyond it" Charlie said his voice was filled with sympathy and compassion.
"I merely wish to spend my last moments on giving a being of true beauty like yourself something beyond what she has been given, I find it truly distasteful to see you here with us" Charlie told her gently while removing the leash gently he then tossed it aside as if it were a sign of slavery.
"Oh I, I I'm not sure how to respond to that" She said.
Charlie took her paw and kissed it gently before letting it go he then bowed slowly.
"I need no response nor thanks I seek nothing from you except your moment of freedom." Charlie told her his voice was gentle and charming.
The Irish Setter was having a hard time keeping herself under control she was already attracted to him this wasn't helping why couldn't he just do it?
Charlie placed his paw out to her, "Would you grant me the honor of this dance?" He said his voice, mannerisms body language it oozed charisma.
She took his paw and began moving in rhythm with him, he moved from side to side spinning her around before pulling her into his arms he then let her go and dangled her holding her by her waist before pulling her in close he then spun her again and lifted her in the air before gently placing her down.
"Thank you, you have made this moment truly worth it" Charlie said before opening the door not for her to leave but rather for him to leave, she jumped at him and pushed the door closed.
"Oh for the love of god I came in here because I thought you wanted me so can we please just go all out, don't make me wait!" She stated.
Charlie tried not to grin and succeeded he ran his paw along her chin gently, "I only hoped to spend a moment with you but if you request passion then I will not deny it are you certain?" Charlie asked her.
"Shut up and just do it" She told him.
"If that is your wish" Charlie said.
Charlie then rested himself on top of her he could've done this sooner but he knew he could request it but that was not nearly satisfying enough no it was much more satisfying to turn them into putty in his paw to make them beg for it, that was the moment Charlie conquered them and it was the idea of that conquest that was so satisfying, well the conquest is done time to dominate.
He could hear moans of pleasure coming from the room and the occasional scream often screams of Charlie's name which would be followed by more moans, it didn't really take a genius to figure out what happened, Charlie conquered another one. Really now he couldn't of taken care of this yesterday or any day before this one, why now did Charlie pride himself on making things difficult it sure seemed that way and he was always the one who had deal with it all, it was pretty much Itchy's job.
Itchy was currently tunneling underground waiting for whatever signal Charlie would send him his orders were midnight which was fast approaching he wondered if Charlie would be ready in time if not then the whole plan could go out the window. Charlie was gambling with his life right now not to mention Itchy's he couldn't help but feel scared since Charlie often dragged him into these situations with little regard for the consequences Itchy would more often than not have to face. Charlie wasn't dumb though maybe reckless but not dumb, he very likely knew perfectly well what he was doing and why? Itchy continued tunneling he could hear some of the dogs praying which Itchy almost rolled his eyes at that, he placed his faith in something else. Itchy believed in luck and skill both prominent features of his boss which was why Itchy was pretty sure this whole thing was going to work just fine, despite that he still was moments away from panicking it was kind of his thing, he would panic and Charlie would tell him to shut up it was almost a tradition between them Itchy continued to tunnel making his way to the location Charlie gave him their moment would soon be here.
Charlie led the Irish Setter back to her cage who could barely walk straight impressive since it only lasted a half hour Charlie watched as she entered her cage silently muttering to herself. Charlie believed her words were something along the lines oh my lord, oh my lord what a dog. He was pleased she was satisfied since he prides himself on that. Charlie looked at the clock it was time now, time for his death, well at least that's what they thought was going to happen in truth it was time for Charlie to make fools of them and he loved this part.
The two dogs led Charlie down the room towards the back door where the humans would enter carrying a needle they would then stab it into him and Charlie would enter a sleep from which he would never wake, this was it. A bulldog that reminded him of someone he knew pressed his face against the cage.
"Bad luck Charlie, well let's see you charm your way out of this one" He taunted him.
A German Sheppard ironically the same breed as Charlie himself grinned at him, "I only wish I could watch them put you down with my own eyes, oh well I'll settle for throwing a party." He said.
A Dalmatian jumped up in happiness, "A party man Charlie you love parties you want to come oh right, you'll be dead, sorry my bad" The Dalmatian taunted.
"You got a great sense of humor, you'll find so do I" Charlie told them before being walked down the room and entering the backdoor.
The two dogs placed Charlie down resting him on a table while waiting for the humans to arrive other dogs entered the area surrounding Charlie to make sure he didn't escape they guarded every exit, clever unfortunately for them Charlie had a much different exit in mind, less than a minute left.
"You have any last words Charlie, anything you want to say, maybe repent" The St Bernard asked him.
"Oh my friend that is a very long list I could never finish it but I do have one thing I want to say" Charlie replied smiling.
Something was wrong Charlie did not at all look like someone about to die was he that at peace with the idea or was it something else if so then what?
Itchy was right below Charlie and pulled out a thing of TNT waiting to push down on the lever and activate it the clock was about to hit midnight and he could hear Charlie saying something.
"What's that Barkin?" The rotwiller asked.
Charlie smirked arrogantly, "Let's see some fireworks" Charlie said with a smile.
That was the code word, Itchy pushed the lever down and the TNT he planted exploded causing the entire ground to start caving in. The dogs looked around in shock as the whole room shook and the floor began to crack. Charlie looked at them with a smug grin he raised his paw and extended his middle one at them an obvious gesture. The ground then gave out and Charlie fell through a hole falling into the sink hole it created. The dogs all scrambled to the sink hole only for Charlie to pull a lever down causing another part of the ground to explode causing each of the dogs to fall into a sink hole of their own. Charlie turned to Itchy and gave him a smile they then jumped from the hole and made their way out the door the other dogs trying to pull themselves out of the hole. Charlie and Itchy raced across the cage room resulting in several dogs barking at him probably for him to let them out, well he could show some generosity to some of them.
"Open our next exit Itch and seal our first one, I have some personal things to deal with" Charlie told him.
"What Charlie are you crazy we pulled it off now let's get out of here the authorities are likely already almost here" Itchy tried to reason.
"Trust me" Charlie said with a smirk.
Charlie then grabbed the keys and opened the door to the Irish Setters cage he then began unlocking countless others, while the Setter stared at him.
"Better get going babe while you can" Charlie told her.
She took his advice and took off running as did numerous others, Charlie then turned to the three dogs who taunted him.
"Hey buddy we're on the same side deep down right?" The bulldog said.
"I was just kidding I knew you would be fine" The Dalmatian said.
"Dogs stick together" The German Sheppard said.
Charlie smirked at all three of them while dangling the keys in front of them he then dropped them to the ground in between all three cages.
"Reach for it I'm sure you can" Charlie taunted them.
He then turned away from them and moved towards the giant hole Itchy made.
"You can't just leave the keys there" The bulldog said.
"What kind of sick joke is this?" The Dalmatian said.
"I told I you have a good sense of humor too" Charlie taunted them before moving out the entrance.
Charlie could hear the sirens blaring and several dog catchers scrambling across the area though they weren't too concerned with him considering every other dog was out too, which was kind of the point of freeing them they made an excellent distraction for him. Charlie turned to Itchy who was beginning to panic.
"Charlie they're cornering us how long before we have nowhere to go anymore?" Itchy panicked.
"Calm down" Charlie replied even as he heard gun shots going over them as well as police sirens.
"Charlie that's the authorities we're trapped we can't possibly deal with them!" Itchy said in complete panic Charlie grabbed his mouth to shut him up.
"Just wait" Charlie told him.
The police cars were moving in towards the pound when another explosion went off in a separate location a jewel store, there was a robbery going on that was more important than a bunch of escaped dogs, the police cars turned back moving towards the jewel store.
"Pays to have good friends right?" Charlie said with a satisfied smile while Itchy just stared at him in disbelief he really did plan everything.
"Now try not to get shot, remember move in zig zags like in paintball" Charlie told him.
"That doesn't help my confidence" Itchy whined.
"Then I'll be your confidence and your confidence is saying duck" Charlie told him.
Itchy ducked just as he heard a gunshot go off, Itchy screamed and began scattering across the area zig zagging as gunshots went off all around him. Charlie was moving in fluid zig zags as well avoiding the bullets being fired at them. Itchy scrambled underneath a fence digging his way under it and pulled himself out. Charlie raced across the area and jumped over the fence even as a shot was fired at him the bullet graced past him and he soared over the fence rolling across the ground. Charlie pulled himself up and saw Itchy was already hauling tail away from the place, good idea. Charlie took off running as well ignoring the endless sirens blaring. Charlie continued to run a massive satisfied grin on his face. What a bunch of suckers they actually thought they had him, him no way Charlie doesn't sit around and wait to die they never had him he was just buying his time and they did a great job playing to his tune there was never any doubt. Charlie turned to Itchy who was panting rapidly but beyond that he was smiling.
"We did it, we actually pulled it off" Itchy said excited.
"Come on itchy did you ever doubt it?" Charlie asked him.
"Charlie you crazy magnificent" Itchy said before giving his boss a thumbs up which Charlie returned.
"What do I always say Itch?" Charlie asked with a smile.
"You can't keep a good dog down" Itchy replied.
"Can't keep a good dog down" Charlie said with a satisfied smirk.
