WARNING. This chapter is rated M for extreme war violence

Balto awoke to the sounds of men shouting orders and tank wheels grinding on each other, he decided to look outside to see what was happening. he saw ateast 200 soldiers lined up getting ready to move to the frontline

"You know, if these krauts know whats good for them they will surrender before i get over there" one of the soldiers said

"Hey one with the most kills wins, loser buys the first round" another man shouted

"lets just get this done so i can go back home to my wife and daughter" another man said, Balto recognized the man as Rosy's father

"Listen up men!" a man son top of a ank shouted, Balto assumed he was the commander. "We are going in to help the Brits take out the germans we will be passing by a lot of ambush positions so we will use the dogs to sniff out the krauts before they can fire on us, and boys remember, Pearl Harbor" The mention of Pearl Harbor enraged the soldiers, allthougn the germans didnt attack them they were still allies with the Japanese and every single soldier present wanted seroius payback.

"Hey Balto whats goin on?" Bruto said as he woke up

"Looks like we're going to combat after all" Balto said grimly

"What? oh great i better get Tony and Buddy" Bruto said

"That wont necessary" Buddy said as him and Tony also woke up

"Gear up boys we're going to battle" The dog handler said

"COMBAT! man this is gonna be worse than gettin stuck in cattle manur- Buddy began to say before he rememberd what Tony said if he made one more analogy. The dogs were fitted with padded vests, they were heavier and thicker than the ones they used at training, they then made thier way to the convoy which consiste of four tanks and seven troop carriers, the dogs got on the troop carrier at the front. As the convoy moved out to battle the troops could hear gunfire and explosions in the distance

"man it sounds bad out there" Tony said

"well hopefully we wont get attacked" Bruto said nervous at the fact he might get killed. The fear of death could be felt all over, soldiers were shivering and shaking while others made the sign of the cross there was one soldier who had a smile on his face though

"Man i cannot WAIT to see the looks on these krauts faces when we get over there, their gonna look like swiss cheese by the time im done with them" the smiling soldier said

"Shut up corporal and stay focused" the commander yelled

"I wish i could be home with Jenna right now" Balto said, he was absolutely terrified that a bullet might go through him and he would never see Jenna again, then he suddenly caught a scent and began sniffing the air whatever it was it wasnt freindly

"what do you smell boy?" a soldier asked as Balto started barking

"SHIT GERMANS!" a soldier yelled as the front tank was hit by a rocket, destroying it. Gunfire than erupted from everywhere around the ruins of the town they were passing through.

"AMBUSH!" a soldier yelled before being blown in half from a grenade. Balto, Bruto, Tony, and Buddy immediatly hit the deck as bullets rained down on the troop carrier shredding the soldiers inside to peices. The soldier who smiled earlier started laughing as he took up his thompson machine gun and began fire

"WOOOOH YEAH GET SUM KRAUTS" he shouted as he fired into the forest killing about ten german soldiers before a bloody hole appeared where his eye was and fell down dead.

"oh god" Buddy said as he covered his head

"Come on we have to help" Tony said

"HOW? WE DONT HAVE GUNS!" Bruto yelled

"WHATTAYA THINK YOUZE GOT TEETH FOR? LETS GO!" Tony yelled as he jumped on a german soldier and but his throat killing him. Buddy, Bruto, and Balto all go the message and began attacking the Nazi's by biting them, Balto saw a soldier behind a rock reloading his weapon and a Nazi poitning his gun at him

"NOOOO!" Balto yelled as he jumped on the Nazi attempting to kill him but the Nazi punched Balto in the head knocking him down, as the Nazi prepared to finish off Balto three bullets ripped throught the Nazis chest and he fell down dead. Balto looked up and saw it was Rosy's father he hd just saved

"Thanks BALTO!" Rosy's father yelled, he did not expect to see Balto here he did not like Balto because he was part wolf but Balto had just saved his life "looks like i was wrong about you boy" he said petting Balto

"BALTO! GET OVER HERE QUICK!" Bruto yelled as Balto ran over to see a dogs body on the ground, it was Tony, he had been shot through the hind legs

"It aint nothin! finish off those germans!" Tony yelled. By now only 25 of the 200 troops who were sent out were still alive and all the vehicles had been destroyed but the Nazi ambush had been repelled

"DAMN THOSE KRAUT SON OF A BITCHES! a soldier yelled as he kicked a dead nazi's body

"Tones are you okay?" Buddy asked

"Im great how are youze? Tony said as he noticed blood coming from the side of Buddy's head "Say youze bleedin you ok?

Buddy turned his head to show his left ear flap was gone "One of those germans cut off my ear with his knife man it hurts like a bull chargin". Other than Tony and Buddy, Balto and Bruto remained uninjured until Balto saw something. It was a german soldier holding a grenade. The dogs immedialty started barking to warn the soldiers

"SHIT SOMEONE KILL THAT KRAUT!" a soldier yelled as Balto jumped on the Nazi trying to take him down, as the two wrestled each other, Rosy's father saw the german pull the pin and drop the grenade. Balto immedialty picked up the grenade in his mouth and began to run with it

"BALTO COME BACK!" Bruto yelled running after him. Balto dropped the grenade and tried running back but the grenade detonated, some of the blast caught Bruto in the face and burned the right side of his face as he passed out from the concussion of the blast. when the smoke cleared Balto was nowhere to be find

"BALTO!" Rosy's father yelled as the soldiers began looking for him.

"All those times i kicked him and insulted him and he just saved my life, he really is a hero" Rosy's father thought to himself

"sir you better come look at this" a soldier yelled, the troops ran over to the soldier and saw him holding a pair of charred dog tags that said

"Oh no' Rosy's father said as he fell down crying

"Balto hes hes-" Buddy said before he broke down crying

"NO HE DIDNT DESERVE THAT!" Tony shouted with tears in his eyes, his friend had died saving all of them

"Come on lets get the dead and wounded and get them out of here" the commander said "those dogs are injured severly, take them back to Nome"

"yes sir" a soldier replied as they out the wounded on trucks and carried them off to an airport where they would return home

Jenna suddenly awoke, she felt a tearing pain in her heart and right away she knew something happened to Balto
