Balto The Parallel Timeline
Chapter 8: Bear Attack!
It was near dusk now and the trail seemed to be endless for Togo, Noris, Nut, and Hut.
Togo stopped in his tracks to try and pick up Iron's scent or at least a sled dog's scent. When he sniffed the air he picked up Iron's scent again and it was stronger.
"We're getting closer, I can feel it." Togo said to himself.
Just then something whizzed over his head and hit a tree in front of him.
Togo turned around and saw that Nut and Hut were doing a snowball fight, he chuckled and continued walking.
Noris however was getting pretty annoyed by it plus he was concerned that Nut and Hut could possibly lead predators straight to them.
After a snowball whizzed over his head again Noris turned around to shush Nut and Hut...
SPLAT!
Noris was hit in the beak by a 50 mile per hour snowball sending him falling to the ground.
"Did you see that Hut, got him right in the beak what a shot!" Nut said before giving Hut a high five.
"Okay, who threw that?!" Noris demanded to the bears.
Nut then pointed at Hut.
"It...It was him." Nut fibbed.
Hut muffled as if he were saying "No...it was HIM!"
Togo couldn't help it but chuckle he then began to walk when...his wolfdog ears twitched.
Togo felt his fur on the back of his neck stick up, he felt as if his instincts were telling him that someone or something was watching them and whatever it was it wasn't friendly.
"Uh...guys..."
Togo paused mid sentence when he saw a figure move behind two trees in the corner of his eye.
"Guys...I think we should keep moving." Togo said.
"Is that you're answer to all problems, movement?" Noris asked as he stood up.
When Togo turned to check on the polar bears he saw Nut and Hut were too busy making snowballs.
"Nut, Hut come on let's get going! You can play snowball fight later!" Togo said.
"Says the guy with four legs." Noris said to Togo.
Noris was about to start walking when...SPLAT!
Again Noris was hit by a snowball and now Noris was extremely fed up with Nut and Hut's nonsense.
"OKAY THATS IT! ITS TIME FOR THIS GOOSE TO KICK A LITTLE BEAR BUTT!" Noris shouted in anger and frustration.
When Noris turned to face Nut and Hut he was quite surprised to see them shaking in fear.
"Finally! Your Uncle Noris is finally making an impression!" Noris said in pride.
Noris then backed into a black wall.
"Ugh, now what?" He asked himself annoyed.
Then the wall growled, a shiver went down Noris's spine this wasn't a wall it was something even worse.
Noris then looked up to see a massive grizzly bear towering over him!
Nut and Hut screamed and ran in the opposite direction but the grizzly pushed an old log down and it blocked the path.
The grizzly then raised its claws ready to strike.
"HEY LEAVE THOSE TWO BALLS OF FLUFF ALONE!" Noris shouted.
The grizzly turned its attention to Noris it then raised its massive claws ready to strike.
Noris screamed at the top of his lungs and ran in another direction but he didn't watch where he was going and he hit his head on a branch.
Noris's vision was blurry he was too dizzy to stand from such a hard blow to the head.
The grizzly saw this as it's chance to kill Noris it raised its claws ready to kill...
"NO!"
The bear then let out a roar of pain it was Togo he had bitten the leg of the bear.
The bear fell over and Togo jumped on it and tried and tried to go for one of its eyes, not to blind it but to give him, Noris, Nut and Hut time to escape.
But the attempt back fired when the bear grabbed Togo and pinned him against the ground.
Togo struggled and squirmed but the bear's grip was too strong to break free of.
The bear then raised its claws.
"I'm sorry Sierra." Togo said to himself.
Togo then closed his eyes and got ready to feel the claws of the bear that end his life.
But then...
"NO!!!" A female voice screamed.
Togo heard the bear roar in agony he opened his eyes to the bear struggling with a red female husky and she was wearing a pink bandana.
"Sierra!?" Togo cried.
The bear then grabbed Sierra and threw her away and turned its attention back to Togo.
Sierra came all this way to help Togo and she certainly was going to make sure that he was going to make it back home in one piece.
Sierra stood back up and she ran to the bear, she jumped and bit the bear in the nose.
The bear roared in pain and it then grabbed Sierra again and threw her away.
The bear then released its paw off of Togo as it turned its attention to Sierra who was unconscious.
Togo knowing what was going to happen if he didn't do something ran between the bear and Sierra.
"If you want to get to her, then you'll have to go through me first!" Togo said in a threatening tone.
The bear roared and it smacked Togo in the side, sending Togo sliding down the hillside nearby and he landed on a frozen lake below.
Togo looked up and saw the bear coming down the hillside, he then began to back away when he heard the ice begin to crack.
He then realized that he was standing on thin ice and if the bear tried to get to him the ice would easily break and he and the bear would fall into the freezing water below them and they would ether drown or die from hypothermia.
Togo's worst fear came true when the bear took a massive step on the ice, and he felt his entire world fall apart when he began to hear the ice crack louder.
The bear took another large step and it got ready to finish Togo off when all of a sudden the ice gave away due to the bear's immense weight.
The bear tried to stay afloat but it was no good, it then vanished beneath into the freezing water never to be seen again.
Togo felt a wave a relief wash over him which lasted for 2 seconds when ice beneath him gave away.
"TOGO!" Noris, Sierra, Nut, and Hut screamed as they rushed to help Togo.
But it was too late...Togo was swallowed by freezing water.
