Balto: The Parallel Universe

Chapter 1: A Grand Day In Town

"That's the three mile marker!" Togo said as he picked up the goose Noris when he saw the three mile marker flare shoot up through the sky.

"Get your slobbering mouth off me!" Noris growled at the brown and white wolfdog as he yanked his face out of Togo's mouth.

"Come on Noris, we can around the back and catch the end of the race!" Togo said.

Just as Togo started to walk Noris grabbed him by the tail and pulled him back.

"No I'm a delicate country bird Togo, I hate going into town." Noris whined.

"Oh come on what's the worst thing that could happen?" Togo said.

Then before Noris could prepare himself Togo sprinted with all his might down the rooftops of Anchorage.

"TOGO SLOW DOWN!" Noris screamed.

Togo then screeched to a halt not because Noris told him to, because he needed to catch his breath.

Noris then gave Togo a stern look.

"Why do you talk me into these things?" Noris asked sternly to Togo.

Noris then started to walk again when he tripped and fell in front of the window of...the butcher shop.

Noris would have been turned into a roasted goose if Togo wouldn't have grabbed him just as the butcher was about to cut his head off.

"BRING THAT BACK YOU THEIF!" The Butcher shouted at Togo as he ran away from the shop.

Just as Togo got away from the shop he turned to see a group of sled dogs in the distance.

"You are putting me down now." Noris muffled.

Togo chuckled and he put Noris down.

"Whatever you say Noris." Togo chuckled

"Every time there's a race you run around like you have everything in the world." Noris pointed out.

"Maybe one day I will!" Togo replied as he slid down a rooftop and landed on a wooden beam.

"Heel boy, I'm no spring chicken..." Noris said before he fell dow again and landed into a pile of snow.

"I'm no spring spring penguin ether, it's cold!" Noris said as he climbed out the pile of snow shivering.

Just as Noris caught up with Togo the two mile mark flare was launched.

"Come on we don't want to miss the finish." Togo said.

"Oh that would be a tragedy." Noris said.

Togo then sprinted down the alleyway desperate to watch the finish of the race, and ended up knocking Noris off his feet in the process.

"I was just being sarcastic." Noris said.

Meanwhile

A red and white husky with a pink bandana named Sierra was also waiting for the race to finish.

Sierra was Togo's best friend, despite his outcast status and his wolf heritage Sierra is compassionate and caring to Togo making her his only friend in town as she waited anxiously for the race to finish her best friend Julia came over to her.

"How are you doing this fine day Sierra?" Sierra asked.

"I'm doing fine and Julia what a pretty collar is it new?" Sierra said.

"What this old thing, yeah do think Iron will notice?" Julia asked.

"I think the only thing Iron will notice is a mirror of himself." Sierra said.

Just then the crowd started to cheer both Julia and Sierra looked down to see a sled team running down the Main Street toward the finish line, Julia started to cheer after realizing it Iron's team.

"COME ON IRON YOU CAN DO IT!" Julia cheered.

Just then a strong gust of wind blew on the two and Sierra's bandana slid off her neck and blew in the wind.

"Oh no, my bandana!" Sierra cried.

Meanwhile...

Togo was watching the sled team approach when he saw a piece of pink cloth glide through the air before landing on the ground a few meters away from him.

"My bandana!" A female voice cried.

Togo knew immediately who it was, it was Sierra and the pink cloth was her bandana.

Togo then saw that the bandana had landed in the middle of the road and if he didn't do something it would torn to shreds by the sled team.

Then without thinking Togo ran off the sideline and sprinted toward the bandana.

"HEY IT'S THAT STRAY DOG!" Someone the sideline cried.

"HE'LL RIUN THE RACE!" Said someone else from the sideline.

Just then the sled team caught up with Togo.

Togo then looked to see...HIM, it was his nemesis Iron, Iron has been Togo's biggest bully, he had been bullying him ever since he was a puppy and he would always call him mean and offensive things like "lobo" or "halfbreed".

"Hey out of my way Lobo!" Iron growled at Togo.

Togo ignored Iron's threat, he kept running as fast as his paws could carry him toward Sierra's bandana.

Iron seeing that Togo was ignoring his threat then snapped at Togo's leg but Togo jumped up and avoided Iron's bite.

Togo was only one feet away from Sierra's bandana and just as Iron was about to snap at him again, Togo grabbed Sierra's bandana with his teeth and dove back to the side line.

Noris who has just caught up with Togo witnessed everything.

"WHEN WILL YOU LEARN TO STAY ON THE SIDELINES?!" Noris shouted.

Just then a wave of snow was kicked up by the sled team and it landed all over Noris.

Noris swore under his breath as he wiped the snow off of himself.
