Balto: Next Centuary

Future story pt 1

            Nome, Alaska-2925

            “This world was devastated before I was born. A harsh bleak place ,where we live in eternal darkness. Life is a struggle and people live without hope. How did this happen? No one will answer me directly, but they always point, to the glaciers. I am Chronos, a silver colored wolf/dog hybrid. I have psychokinetic powers and I am looking for answers.” Chronos was hovering over the cracked ground, when a large wind began to stir, a cloud of snow and dust encircled him, but with his powers he cleared the cloud out of his sight and went the rest of his trip on foot. “This blizzard, it freezes my world to a frostbitten wasteland. They come from a being that is impossible to defeat. The winds of disaster know as Ancient, the eldest of the Twilight Twins.”

            “CHRONOS!” a voice called. It was Cynder my friend. She, like me, had powers, except hers were fiery.

            “Cynder, what is it?” I asked.

            “He’s appeared again!” At this I ascended into the atmosphere and hovered at high speeds towards the place where HE appeared. She was quick as well, but she was more of a jumper than a glider. We went to the outskirts where a large abyss was located. And out of it arose Anctient. He was fierce and very large. A combination of rocks, snow and, metal. I was not afraid of him, for I had defeated him before. I already new it was a simple as me holding him down with MY powers and Cynder using her’s to “douse” him. We did so and after we burnt through his outer layers I went over the abyss and smashed his head into it. He would return again and again after that. It was frustrating how much time we spent fighting and chasing this guy.

            “Looks like we stopped it for now.” Cynder said.

            “What’s the point in even saying that? He is just going to come back again and again. Ugh, we might as well just stop this. If only we knew a way to finally end him!” I yelled out to the skies.

            “Calm down Chronos.” Cynder tried to reassure me.

            “Not until we fully destroy him. What do we do?” I asked her. She just looked away pondering.

            “By knowing the truth of course.” Someone said. I turned around looked up and saw a shadowy figure. “Just as a solar system comes from a cloud of dust and gas, and a flower comes from a seed, everything has an origin. You need to find the being originally responsible for this catastrophe.” He added.

            “Is that really the answer to our problem?” I responded. “Tell me, do you know who it is?” I asked. He looked like he was about to answer but all he did was stare at me. I looked at his face, it looked very demented. Black as dark fur, green eyes, HUGE fangs and very dirty looking. Not only that, but his mouth was stitched closed.  I was sort of bewildered at this but the only thing I can think about was the answer to my world’s problem.

            He took us to a dim room lit only with computer monitors that were left running when the humans fled. Apparently this guy must be very intelligent if he knows how to use these. Even I couldn’t use them, and I am the smartest one here. His name was Youth, a strange name but I didn’t care. He began to speak, “To fix this present timeline, you need to change the past.” Again I was bewildered.

            “But that’s impossible.” I told him.

            “With my help, you can, for I have the ability to travel through time.” He said. And I was amazed on how much he could do.

            “NO WAY!” Amazed I was. He once again began to speak.

            “In order to change the past, you must eliminate the individual who awakened Ancient. The Ancient trigger.” I thought deeply at this and asked him.

            “ So if I eliminate this guy will our world be saved?” He nodded.

            “The day of disaster. Here are my records of this event.” He began typing on the main computer. This was one talented wolf. “This is when Ancient was freed, and his cold, icy being was released in the world.” We looked up at the screen and many pictures appeared. Most of them were of Ancient himself. “And you have this person to blame.” He handed me what looked to be a totem, but it was made out of crystal not wood. I looked into it and I saw….

                                    A brown and hazel colored wolf/dog hybrid surrounded by icy waters and wind glaring at me, his eyes were yellow, and he looked very strong.

            “I SEE IT!” I said to them. “So that brown hybrid is the Anctient trigger?”

            “Brown wolf/dog hybrid?” Cynder asked me. I handed the totem back to him and placed it in his collar. He turned around and took some sparkling dust out of some bracelet he was wearing.

            “I’ll take us back in time to the point where the Ancient trigger was alive.” He through the dust in the air mumbled a few words and we encircled by the purple dust. All three of us were thrown into a vortex and our familiar surroundings disappeared.

            I jumped out of the vortex and landed in a grassy field that had some patches of snow. It was cloudy and cold. I looked around some more in awe of where I was. “Unbelievable!” I said to myself. “Now I must fight for the future!” Then I noticed that Cynder wasn’t with me. Neither was Youth. I was very shy when I wasn’t around people I knew, but I had a mission, and I had to go through with it. I began running towards Nome and as I ran to it, I realized how much different the past looks to the future. I went faster hovering but I wanted to blend in with the other dogs and wolves, so I just walked over to Nome calmly.

I jumped out of the vortex and ended up on an island. It looked inhabited, but there was no one around. Even Chronos and Youth weren’t with me. “Oh poor Chronos, when it comes to being around others he doesn’t know he can be so insecure.” I paused thought to myself. “Ancient trigger, brown wolf/dog.” I then decided to investigate and go in to one of the nearby tippis.

It was late and I found myself searching around the downtown area of Nome. For some reason it reminded me of the future Nome. I jumped on to one of the tallest buildings in the area and that when I saw HIM!!!! The Ancient trigger. I kept facing in his direction and leapt down to lower area on the streets where I could still see him. I was about to zap him with my psychokinetic powers when a female came and tackled me.

“FOUND YOU BALTO!” she said to me. I tried telling her to get off me, and stuggled to break free, but did she have a grip! “There is no point in hiding from Balto. We’re mates we’re not supposed to hide from each other.” She looked up and realized it wasn’t this Balto character she was snuggling with. “OH MY GOSH! You’re not Balto. I am sooo sorry, It’s just that you look just like him and, oh dear.” She said in regret.

“I um.. HEY!” I looked to where the Ancient trigger was and he had disappeared. “Where’d he go?” I kept looking around. “He must’ve run off.”

“I’m sorry did you miss someone because of me?” She asked.

“Ah, it’s okay. I’m sure the guy I am looking for is still some where here in the town. I’m sure I can still find him.” I reassured her.

“Then I will help you.” She grabbed a hold of my collar and brought me
