Invasion

Itchy is walking through Los Angeles. He is trying to find Balto. He saw him enter and exit a bar and Itchy became worried. He starts to go in the direction that Balto had gone and arrives at the bar that Balto left. He heads off in the direction Balto went agin. He arrives at some apartments and he sees Balto enter one of them. Itchy walks up the stairs and he hears Balto singing something.

He gets closer and he hears "And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

He turns so he's facing the door and he kicks it down. He spots Balto in his officer's uniform. He runs over and tackles him and he hears the gun go off.

Balto hits the ground and starts to cry. "Why?! Why won't you let me die?"

Itchy starts to cry also. "Because I let one friend die. I promise that I won't let another one go as well."

Balto starts to yell. "Get the fuck off of me! I want to die because I'm tired of heading off to war and waiting for that one bullet that will send me to my grave."

Itchy gets off of Balto slowly due to shock. "You…You want to die? What the hell is fucking wrong with you? Is that why you're friends with Michael? You were hoping he would give you a warrior's death, but you ended up befriending your attacker. Well Balto, if you kill yourself, then you are a coward for doing so."

Balto shakes his head. "No this is one of the hardest things that I am going to do."

Itchy shakes his head. "And that makes you a coward. Saying the hardest thing is death is bullshit. Life is hard. Life can knock you down and beat the shit out of you. Death will only bring you darkness."

Balto breaks down crying. "I'm sorry Itchy. I don't know what I was thinking. I just was desperate. I wanted a quick way out."

Itchy starts to smile. "It's ok. Come on. Let's go get some drinks."

Balto smiles at Itchy. "I can use one now."

Balto is drinking scotch with Itchy. What Itchy doesn't know is that Balto is aiming to get so drunk that he doesn't remember anything. Before he has the chance, a halftrack pulls up in front of the bar. One of the officers walks in.

He spots Balto and Itchy and runs over to them. "Hey. You two need to fly out to Antarctica. Something is going on down there and we need you to head down there and fix it. Now go before I have to drag you there myself."

Balto starts to laugh drunkenly. Itchy nods his head. "Will do."

Two hours later, Balto and Itchy are getting on a plane to fly off towards Antarctica. What they find there will haunt them in their worst nightmares.
