Balto: The Parallel Timeline

Chapter 14: Not Dog, Not Wolf, A Hero

Meanwhile back in Anchorage, Sierra was in Violet's hospital room resting by her owner.

It was nearly 3:00 AM but Sierra couldn't sleep, she was so worried about Togo up to the point she scared herself.

Ever since Iron returned and told everyone that Togo and the team were all dead, Sierra couldn't let herself believe that Togo...her best friend, the one she cared for the most was dead.

Tears slid down Sierra's cheeks as she curled up next to Violet and tried to fall asleep.

In the outskirts of town on the old abandoned boat, Noris along with Nut and Hut were also very worried about their wolfdog friend.

"Uncle Noris is Togo going to come home any time soon?" Nut asked Noris.

"I...I...I don't know boychick." Noris replied with a deep sigh.

"But he IS coming home right?" Nut asked Noris again.

Noris didn't know how to reply to Nut's question he just sighed and shrugged his wings.

Nut sighed in sadness.

Hut then muffled in sadness he then grabbed the blanket that Togo always slept in and he wrapped it around him, Nut, and Noris.

Then what happened next was only what the people of Anchorage could only describe it as a miracle from God answering their prayers.

Just then Noris heard something over the winter breeze it was incomprehensible at first but he was then able to make it out to be a...wolf howl!

"Togo..." Noris asked himself

Noris then spun his head in the direction of where he heard the wolf howl.

And then a group of sled dogs came running up a hill and they were being led by Togo.

"GUYS TOGO'S BACK!" Noris shouted overjoyed.

Meanwhile Togo and the sled team came upon a familiar sight...they were home in the distance Togo saw an aurora that was gleaming brightly in the night sky.

And Togo had a hint on who made the aurora.

"Sierra." Togo said to himself.

Togo then jumped up and howled.

Meanwhile Sierra who just fallen asleep was awaken by Togo's howls.

"Togo?" She asked herself before she raced to the window of Violet's room and she saw a sled team approaching the town and at a fast rate.

Sierra felt her heart fill with happiness when she saw that Togo was the lead dog.

Sierra raced to her owners who were asleep and she barked them awake.

"S-Sierra it's 3:00 in the morning why are you..." Mr Jones started before he heard another howl from Togo.

Mr Jones and Mrs Jones then raced to the window and saw the sled team approaching the town quickly.

"I don't believe it!" Mr Jones said.

"They made it!" Mrs Jones said.

Togo let out three more howls and then soon the lights of Anchorage were soon lit up like a christmas tree.

Meanwhile back in the mill...

The town dogs were all gathered around listening to one Iron's stories.

"So I swam, and swam it was freezing freezing cold, and I told myself 'Iron you just have to claw your way to the surface.' and then I..." Iron was cut off mid sentence when everyone heard a wolf howl.

Doc looked outside and before he shot an angry glare at Iron.

"It's Togo with the medicine." Doc said.

Soon every single eye landed on Iron.

The silver malamute smiled nervously.

Then Julia walked up to him.

"Iron your positively...DISPOSABLE!" Julia said before she slapped Iron across the face.

Soon the whole room was filled with angry faces upon realizing that the whole story Iron told them of Togo and the team dying was all a LIE.

"I...I...I can explain, you see you guys weren't there..." Iron began.

No one listened and they all walked out of the boiler room in complete anger and disgust, they now knew the truth Iron was nothing but a lair and a complete fraud, and Togo was the true hero.

Soon all of the town residents were out their houses cheering and praising heaven as Togo and the sled team made their approach toward the hospital.

The doctors rushed out of the doors of the hospital as the sled team skidded to a halt.

A few minutes later the sick kids all received their anti-toxin injections and thanks to Togo and the sled team none of the parents didn't need to worry about their kids dying.

Meanwhile outside for the first time Togo was being petted and loved on by the town folks, and they even helped Togo take off his sled equipment.

Then Togo heard flapping and he looked up to see Noris coming down at him.

"Noris?" Togo said.

Noris then swooped down and he began to rub Togo's head madly.

"Not a dog, not a wolf, YOU'RE A HERO!" Noris cried with glees

"Togo!"

Noris and Togo turned to see Nut running toward them.

Nut then wrapped his arms around both Togo and Noris and gave them a big hug.

Hut then came from behind and he too gave Togo and Noris a big hug.

Togo was able to squirm out of Nut and Hut's hug.

then Togo felt someone scratch him behind his ears he turned to see Violet's father petting him.

"Good boy Togo, now I think there's someone who wants to see you." Mr Jones said.

Togo followed Mr Jones up the stairs to the hospital, he turned around to see Noris.

Noris smiled and he gestured to Togo for him to go ahead.

Togo smiled and walked into the hospital.
