our team.''

Dingo felt silent on that one, but he started to think how he'd convince Forrest.

''Besides, none of my former team-mates were good.'' Forrest said. ''Rico and I had bad pup-hoods, but I didn't want to be manipulated like he is. I wanted to do things on my own!''

''Forrest! You must stop with that!'' Dingo yelled.

''Stop with what?'' Forrest asked. ''I never had any respect!''

''FORREST! ENOUGH!'' Dingo screamed as everyone looked at Dingo. ''DON'T DO THIS, PLEASE!''

''Why not?'' Forrest asked. He started feeling nervous.

''Stop living in your past!'' Dingo said. ''I know that you never had a happy pup-hood! But you should leave it! No wonder why're you so miserable!''

''What're you trying to say?!'' Forrest asked, he was even more nervous.

''I'm telling you...'' Dingo said, breathing heavily. ''...to leave your past behind and head to the future! Please, Forrest! Please!''

Forrest looked at Dingo, then at the prisoners, then at Niju and Balto, then the Dingo and the others, and again at Niju. He started growling.

''What're you doing, runt?'' Niju asked, noticing Forrest growling at him.

''Redeeming!'' Forrest whispered furiously. Niju looked at him confused, but the next second, Forrest attacked him as he yelped in pain. Balto was free.

''Run, you three! RUN!'' Balto yelled to Jenna, Nunivat and Dusty. They wasted to time but to run towards the group.

Niju gained the upper paw and tossed Forrest on the ceiling, causing him to get hit and to get semi-unconscious. 

As Niju was going to strike back, he was already attacked by Kodi and Thunder furiously. Soon enough, the others joined.

''You've kidnapped Dusty!'' Kodi yelled furioisly, attacking Niju.

''You'll pay for kidnapping Nunivat!'' Thunder yelled as well.

Niju was being attacked by seven canines. He was heading unintentionally towards the exit of cave, because he was unable to see anything.

As they reached the edge of the rocks, Kenai managed to push him down. He landed down in the snow as some cracking sound occurred. Surprisingly, Niju got on his paws without any injury.

Thunder wanted to jump down and beat up Niju more, but he was grabbed by his neck scruff by Josh.

''Leave me alone, Josh!'' Thunder yelled. ''He's going to get some beating after doing this!''

''Thunder, no!'' Josh yelled, a bit muffled because he was holding Thunder. ''Look down!''

They all looked down as Niju was preparing to jump back, but then, more cracking sounds occurred. Niju looked below him.

Niju realized that he was standing on a frozen lake. The ice was starting going up. Niju tried to escape, but as he grabbed the ice, it cracked more, causing the dark blue wolf to lose the grip.

''No! NO! NOOOOOO!!'' Niju started screaming as he was trying to get up back. But then he just disappeared under the water and wasn't seen then.

''He's... gone.'' Kenai said, looking at the frozen lake.

''His arrogance was bigger than before.'' Balto said.

''Kodi!'' Dusty said, rushing to Kodi and accidentally pinning him on back. They both laughed as they nuzzled each other.

''Thunder!'' Nunivat said as the nuzzled Thunder slightly.

''Jenna.'' Balto said, nuzzling her. ''Are you alright?''

''Yes, thanks to you!'' Jenna smiled.

''Here's your bandana.'' Balto said as he lowered his head and put it on Jenna. ''I was thinking on you all the time.''

''Thanks, Balto.'' Jenna said as she nose-rubbed him.

''I think you should get home.'' Yukon said. ''You don't look too good. And besides, your puppies are waiting for you.''

''You're right.'' Nunivat said. ''We better go.''

But as they were heading back to Nome, they noticed that Dingo was looking at the cave. Soon enough, Forrest came out, a bit uneasy due to an injury.

''Forrest...'' Dingo said.

''Dingo, I am so sorry.'' Forrest said, as the tears were seen in his eyes. ''Look what have I done to your mother, sister and friend!''

''Forrest.'' Dingo said again. ''You know that I'd kill you for that. But I won't. You left your past behind and I'm proud at you. It's all forgiven to you.''

Forrest looked at Dingo surprised. After endangering his family, Dingo forgave him!

''Are you coming with us?'' Dingo asked.

''No, I'm not.'' Forrest said. ''I don't deserve it. Besides, I found a beautiful black female wolf wandering around, I'll go after her.''

''If you say so.'' Dingo said. ''Goodbye, Forrest.''

Forrest nodded as the turned around and headed into another direction. Soon enough, Dingo joined the group.

''Come on, let's go home!'' Dingo said, as the and the others headed to Nome.

Two hours later...

All 10 of them returned to Nome. When Kodi and Dusty came home, their puppies were so over-joyed to see them that they pinned them on their backs and tickled them. Dusty never laughed so hard before and neither Kodi did.

The same thing happened to Nunivat and Thunder when they returned home. Nunivat thanked to Molly so much for looking after their puppies.

Balto and so over-joyed to be with Jenna again. Since he found her, Rosy allowed Balto to be with her over the night.

When Dingo came home, Dana greeted him happily. Soon enough, Galena, Kassan and Harath woke up.

''Daddy!'' Kassan yelled happily as his father came back. He, Galena and Harath jumped on him as he fell on his back laughing while they were tickling him.

''Dingo! I'm glad you made it!'' Dana said as she nuzzled him while he got on his paws as the puppies let go.

''Yes.'' Dingo said. ''Dana... Forrest helped Niju.''

''Forrest!?'' Dana yelled madly.

''It's okay!'' Dingo said. ''I managed to convince him to leave his past behind. Still, he won't come back.''

''You did a good thing.'' Dana said, as she calmed down. ''I'm forgiving him too. And I'll miss him.''

Dingo nodded. He and the others defeated the enemy and made a change of heart to the former friend.

Chapter 30: Evil Alliance
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, when the enemy landed on ice...

The ice cracking and screaming in the distance echoed throughout the wild of Alaska rocks. Animals were surprised to hear so, as it was mostly a peaceful place.

However, a young white wolf-dog, paid no interest in the screams and cracks. He walked towards the frozen lake, and found the small hole.

The wolf-dog was relatively young and white as snow. He was very hard to be seen in a such snow because of his white fur. Because of that, he was very skilled in stealth and sneaking.

But the only thing that gave away his presence were three scars on his right eye. As the wolf-dog looked down into the water and saw these scars again, as he'd usually do that, he frowned.

Then he lowered his head into the small pool of the water below him and began lapping it to satisfy his thirst.

Then, he heard cracking again some water splashing in the distance. He looked towards the source of splashing and noticed a dark paw raising from the water.

The wolf-dog wasted no time but to hide in the snow and he'd easily disguise. As soon as he hid in snow, he saw the wolf coming out of the water.

The wolf was breathing heavily and shivering as he barely managed to get to the solid ground instead of ice. Then he dropped down on the ground, still shivering.

''Curse you... wolf-dog!'' the wolf said. ''You've... embarrassed me... blatantly again...!''

The white wolf-dog backed up for a bit in confusion. What was the wolf talking about? We he meaning on him? But how? They never met each other.

''And that... white runt...'' the wolf said, getting uneasily on his paws. ''He'll pay... for that!''

The white wolf-dog gasped in shock again. Was he referring him? They never met each other.

''What's happening?'' the wolf-dog asked himself. ''Is he talking to me?''

The dark wolf started walking towards the woods, shivering less than before, while cursing a wolf-dog and a white runt. The white wolf-dog started following him in curiosity. The dark wolf didn't notice that he was being followed.

Judging by cursing two other canines, white wolf-dog already realized that the dark wolf was hostile. He was very furious.

As he was following the dark wolf, something in the distance was heard. Both wolf and wolf-dog stopped as they heard the sound.

''Who's there?'' the wolf asked. ''Show yourself!''

But there was no response. Minutes passed and nothing happened. The wolf shrugged it off and continued walking, still being followed by the wolf-dog.

Then, a sound was heard. The same sound they heard before.

''Where are you...?'' the wolf asked. ''Come here if you dare! I'm sick of your
