"Smith, what was our father like?" Weed asks as they're walking down a trail.
"Well.. he was an amazing dog, and everyone who knew him thought the same." Smith says.
"Gin was a very brave and kind dog and a true friend as well." Alexis says.
"My mother told me he was very kind." Weed says.
"Yes. He took great care of his friends." Smith says.
"And he never lost is cool during a fight." Smith says.
"Not even once." Alexis says as they stop to drink from some water before heading back on their way.
"Smith. Alexis, why did that monster attack the paradise in ohu?" Weed asks.
"Yea why did he attack?" Flicka asks.
"That we don't know." Smith says.
"But.. our father will definitely beat him, right?" Weed asks.
"Of course. He' the one who brought down Akakabuto." Smith says.
"Yes your father kids will prevail and we will be right behind him when he does." Alexis says.
"Your father is a strong and remarkable dog don't ever let anyone make you think otherwise." Amber says. Everyone then hears a growl and then look at GB.
"I'm hungry... Aunt Alexis, Uncle Smith, Flicka, Weed, Amber... shouldn't we eat?" GB asks.
"What, GB? How sleazy." Smith says.
"Our mother said that this place is where humans hunt, so there isn't much game here..." Weed says.
"So, it'd be better if we got a bit further away from humans." Flicka says.
"That doesn't matter when there are wolves around who were raised to be able to track anything down but you do have a point on the humans they don't usually take too kindly to wolves or wild dogs." Alexis says.
"I'm soo hungry, I can't move another step!" GB whines. Amber rolls he eyes at GB playfully thinking he is acting like a puppy whining for food.
"There's a river nearby." Smith says.
"And birds too I'll go hunt for some birds for us while the rest of you go to the river." Amber says.
"Alright but be careful Amber." Alexis says.
"I always am don't worry mom." Amber says.
"Amber listen to your mother." Smith says.
"Yes dad but I'm not a baby anymore I'll be fine." Amber says.
"Amber no matter how old you get you will always be our baby." Alexis says.
"I know mom. I'll be back in a bit I'll meet you at the river." Amber says as she runs off to go hunt birds.
"There's the river." Alexis says as she sees the river and they go over to it. Alexis then watches as Weed and Flicka catch fish in their mouths.
"Great job you two!" Alexis says.
"Your better than Alexis and myself, who taught you." Smith says.
"As expected from the children of the leader." Smith says.
"Our father was good at catching fish?" Weed asks.
"Yes. He would often fish to all of his friends. Just like the two of you right now." Smith says.
"Gin was also a very good jumper when it came to hunting birds his leg power was amazing." Alexis says.
"GB on the other hand..." Smith says as he looks at GB who is having problems catching fish.
"Ah! This is difficult!" GB yells annoyed. Amber then arrives back with some birds as they stop to eat on fish and birds. Alexis and Smith then notice Weed and Flicka aren't eating.
"Aren't you two hungry?" Smith asks.
"Don't you want your fish? Or are you just saving them for us to eat later?" GB asks.
"It's not that." Weed says.
"We cant eat these fish, knowing that our mother is..." Weed says sadly.
"You're still...?" GB asks. Amber gently nudges GB getting his attention.
"They're still only pups GB they just lost there mother they're gonna be upset for a while." Amber says quietly to GB.
"It cant be helped. Even if they're the children of the leader, they're still children missing there mother." Smith says. Alexis then goes over to Weed and Flicka and licks them gently.
"It'll be ok I know you miss her but she is always with you no matter what happens." Alexis says cheering Weed and Flicka up slightly.
"But Weed and Flicka...the road to Ohu will be a lot tougher after this. You will need to fill your stomachs while you can. Or else getting to paradise will be a real struggle." Smith says. Weed and Flicka then start eating. After a while of walking they make it into a human town.
"Hey! Bring back that dog food!" A voice yells sounding like a human. Alexis and the others then look to see a human chasing a little yellow golden retriever puppy holding a dog with bag with a stick. The man then throws the stick at the puppy making it fall. Flicka and Weed then go to run to the puppy but Amber and GB catch them by their tails.
"Don't! We don't have anything to do with this!" GB says.
"Let us go! We have to help him!" Weed says as he and Flicka kick GB and Amber hard enough to make them let go and then run over to the puppy and stand in front of it barking.
"You theif... What are you two doing? You.." The man says holding the stick back as Alexis, Smith, GB, and Amber go over growling at the man.
"I won't forget your faces, stupid dogs!" The man yells as he runs away.
"Are you okay?" Weed asks as Flicka helps the puppy up.
"You took a hit, are you hurt?" Weed asks.
"It looks like your not bleeding..." Weed says as the puppy grabs the bag of dog food and runs off towards the woods.
"Wait!" Weed says.
"What an ungrateful kid.." GB says.
"Don't concern yourself with that kid. If you did, you'd be in trouble." A voice says and reveals to be a old dog on a chain.
"Mister, you know that kid?" Weed asks.
"Well.. he's called Mel. A dog called Blue lives in that mountain. He's been making other dogs into unwilling slaves to him for five or six years now." The old dog says.
"Heh. Sounds familiar." GB says.
"Mel is too frightened to get away from the dogs there. To do so would mean death for him. When that puppy outlives his usefulness, he'll simply be killed..." The old dog says.
"You know a lot about this for someone who's a pet dog." GB says.
"I'm Hook. I'm not a pet dog by nature." Hook says.
"What happened to you?" GB asks.
"Two years ago, my older brother and I were also forced into being slaves for those dogs. We were young strays, and they were kind to us at first, so we trusted them. Countless times, we stole food for them... I ended up being caught by a human and taken into a pound. Luckily I was adopted by my master. But.. Just before that, my brother had rebelled against Blue's ways... He killed him...in front of my own eyes." Hook says.
"I wont stand for this!" Flicka says.
"I wont allow it either! At this rate, if we leave Mel, he'll just end up getting killed by Blue and his dogs! My sister and I will help him!" Weed says.
"You two? Help him?" GB asks.
"Don't do it, pups. There's nothing you can do." Hook says.
"That's not true! If we don't do it, who will?" Weed asks.
"You've never encountered how scary and unpredictable Blue really is." Hook says.
"No, Hook! We will help Mel! Even if he is scary, we wont loose ourselves. There's no other solution!" Weed says as he and his sister run off to go help Mel.
"Hey, Weed!" GB says.
"GB, you go too." Smith says.
"Amber you as well." Alexis says. Amber nods.
"He's just joking. He's such a foolish little kid...!" GB says.
"I know what you're saying isn't what you really think." Smith says.
"Old man." GB says as he and Amber then run after Weed.
*Time skip*
"Don't say sorry, Mel!" Weed says.
"Mel, you're making a mistake. You shouldn't apologize for that!" Weed says.
"Who the hell are you two?" Blue asks.
"We are Weed and Flicka. Aren't you guys ashamed of what you are doing? Making a kid steal like that?" Weed asks.
"You talk like that, and you're just brats yourselves! You fools!" Blue says.
"Stop it!" GB says as he Amber arrive.
"Who the hell are you two?" Blue asks.
"Who are we, you say? We are one of the soldiers of Ohu, GB and Amber!" GB says.
"What? Two of the dogs who threw down Akakabuto? In that Legend!?" One of the dogs asks.
"If you argue with us, you'll be arguing against one of Ohu's own Commanders." GB says.
"That's right it would be a mistake to argue with us." Amber growls.
"Surprised? Well, it's how it is. We can all go to Ohu, right now!" GB says. Blue then starts laughing causing Amber to growl lowly.
"What a pathetic liars you are." Blue says.
"The paradise for dogs in Ohu was completely destroyed." Blu e says.
"What? That's a lie! How the hell would you know such a thing?" GB asks.
"It's not just a rumor. The dogs of Ohu began to attack humans, so they shot every last one of them." Blue says.
"N.. No way!" Weed says.
"That cant be true!" Flicka says.
"Don't talk nonsense!" GB says.
"Especially about people and a place you know nothing about!" Amber growls.
"Nonsense? Nothing about? You just talk big of Ohu's name to impress those insignificant little brats!" Blue says.
"What a troublesome bunch you are!" One of the dogs says.
"Why these kids? They must be having a joke with us, bringing those troublesome little brats our way!" One of the dogs says.
"We're not joking with you. Look at these kids, they're the son and daughter of Gin, the leader of Ohu!" GB says.
"What?" One of the dogs asks.
"They really do look like Gin and his mate Trixie. But.. this is my territory. Gin has no authority here!" Blue says as he tackles GB and another dog grabs Amber and she tries to run over to GB but Flicka tackles him off.
"I don't like your tone! I'll pull your tongue out!" A dog says as it tries jumping at GB but Weed quickly tackles him away.
"Good, kid. Mel! Do you remember everything I said a while ago?" Blue asks.
"Yes." Mel says.
"Kill that kid." Blue says. Mel looks at Blue.
"What's wrong? Hurry and do it!" Blue says.
"I'll do it!" Mel says.
"Stop, Mel...!" Weed says as Mel then attacks him by grabbing him by his neck. Flicka stands in fear of loosing her brother.
"Mel, you..." GB says.
"It's alright, GB. I'm alright. Don't interfere!" Weed says.
"Weed..." GB says as Mel then throws Weed at a tree.
"Mel, you'll never become a real dog by fighting like this." Weed says.
"Don't listen to that crap! Do it, Mel!" Blue says.
"Mel, what benefit will you gain from killing me? Doing that isn't going to help you escape from those guys!" Weed says.
"Don't listen!" Blue says.
"If you fight me, nobody can help you! your spirit is weak! Tell me how you really feel! From the bottom of your heart! Your own words...! Show some courage! Be what you want to be! Well.. WELL?!" Weed says. Mel then attacks Blue.
"Mel!" Weed says.
"I've had enough of your orders!" Mel says.
"What did you say? You little shit!" Blue says as he throws Mel off and at a tree.
"Blue! There's no way we'll loose to you!" Weed says as he and Flicka attack Blue.
"You? There's no way a couple of brats like you can overthrow me!" Blue says as he throws Weed and Flicka at a tree.
"Weed!" GB says as some dogs come over to him and some other dogs attack Amber.
"We'll crush you!" One of the dogs says as he and the other dog grab GB on both sides of his neck.
"It hurts! Weed and Flicka, one you use that attack of yours on them!" GB says.
"..That attack? GB, what are you talking about? We don't understand..Damn" Weed says as he lunges at Blue but misses as Blue grabs Weed by his tail and throws him at a rock.
"Take that!" Blue say as he throws Weed at the rock. Flicka then runs over to Weed.
"This is the end for you!" Blue says as he charges at Weed.
"Don't!" A voice says making Blue stop revealing to be Alexis, Smith, and Hook.
"What the hell do you want?" Blue asks.
"Hook, old man, aunt Alexis! Geez... slow as ever!" GB says.
"Hook?" Blue asks.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten me, Blue.. Even if you've forgotten me, I sure haven't forgotten you.. My brother's killer! Shit!" Hook says as he lunges at Blue but Blue runs out of the way causing him to miss.
"You bastards, what re you doing?! Get them!" Blue says ordering his dogs to attack as Alexis and Smith jump and pin Blue.
"Who the hell are you two?" Blue asks.
"Smith and Alexis leaders of the Ohu army pack alongside Gin as well as commanding officers of Ohu." Smith says.
"Your more than just soldiers... dammit.." Blue says as he throws Alexis and Smith off.
"You naïve brat!" Smith says as he and Alexis lunge off a rock back at Blue but miss as Blue runs off. The dogs that were attacking GB then run off after Blue and the other dogs stop attacking and stay put.
"We can't let him get away! Follow him! If we loose him we have to do this all over again!" Weed says as he takes off after Blue.
"Weed's right! Catch them!" Hook says.
"GB!" Smith says as he, Alexis, Amber, and Hook go catch up with Weed and GB right behind them.
"Weed, thank you. Thank you so much." Hook says.
"Huh? For what?" Weed asks.
"You gave me my courage back. You sent my willpower back to me. You helped me find my feet again!" Hook says as he lunges and tackles a dog down. Weed then jumps and tackles a dog down.
"Blue! Please help me!" The dog says.
"Just die, you fool!" Blue yells running away.
"Take care of them!" Weed says as he charges after Blue. Alexis, Smith, and GB then stand in front of the dog Weed had pinned down growling.
"Please help me." The dog begs.
"We're sorry! Please spare our lives!" The dog Hook has pinned down says.
"Now you're pathetic. After the unforgivable killing, you think I should spare you life? Don't be stupid, bastard!" Hook asks.
"We were taking orders! We were just obeying the rules Blue made us follow!" The dog says.
"What shall we do, Hook?" Smith asks.
"Get out of here. Both of you, get out of my sight! Or this time, I'll be the one tearing your guts out!" Hook says.
"Thank you, Hook. We owe you." The dog says.
"Get lost!" GB says making the dogs leave.
"Let's go, GB, Alexis, Amber, Hook." Smith says. Alexis and the others then see Weed trying to get through a wired fence to get to Blue.
"Move, Weed! He killed my brother!" Hook says as he charges at the fence only making a dent in it.
"I want to stay and watch you all look stupid as you try to get through that fence.. but I must bid you all farewell. Yesterday a message came from Nero n Northern Alps." Blue says.
"Nero?" GB asks.
"I think you will know of him. He sure does go into a frenzy when he's mad. Well, I've got to go contact Nero. See ya later!" Blue says.
"Blue!" Weed yells right as Blue walks out in front of a truck
"Look out!" Weed says as he jumps to the top of the fence.
"What amazing strength he has!" Smith says as Blue gets hit.
"He got exactly what he deserved!" Hook says as another truck is coming.
"Another one!" GB says as Weed jumps over the fence and runs over to Blue.
"You idiot! Why are you helping someone so evil! Don't Weed!" GB says.
"He's still alive! I must help him!" Weed says.
"Don't come here.." Blue says as he grabs Weed. Alexis and the others then close there eyes hearing a scream then hear something hit the fence and see that it's Weed and that he is ok.
"Weed?!" Everyone says.
"Blue saved him?" Hook asks.
"Blue.. Blue, why did you save me?" Weed asks.
"Why, huh? Nobody has ever once shown me kindness like this. I wish I could have met someone like you earlier." Blue says as he dies.
"Blue! Blue!" Weed screams.
"For a guy like him.." Hook says.
"We're all so different to him.." GB says.
"Weed is the same as Gin as Flicka is with Trixie. They're going to become just like there parents." Smith says.
*Time skip*
As morning arose everyone is saying there good byes to Hook and Mel.
"Thank you Weed, Flicka, Smith, Alexis, Amber, GB..." Mel says.
"Hook, can we trust Mel to you?" Weed asks.
"Yeah. Weed, if you ever need me for any reason, all you have to do is call for me. Even if your a thousand miles away, for you I will gladly come running." Hook says.
"Well, Smith, Alexis, Amber, GB, Flicka.. shall we go?" Weed asks.
"Yeah." Smith says.
"Begin our journey again?!" GB asks.
"Everyone! Wait!" Mel says as he has decided to come with on the journey.
