An Race in Time

As dawn approached Nome in 1929 a year after the race with the pilot, Balto was thinking. Boris

was watching him seeing that something was different. “ Balto? Why us your head in the clouds?

” he asked. “ I’m just thinking how the other pups are. “ he answered while looking around. Boris

nodded, then smiled, “ Well all I know is that they are all fine. ”

Balto nodded and then said, “ I’m going to see Jenna now. ” He then ran into Nome. Jenna was

thinking while she saw Kodi coming back from delivering the mail. “ Hey mom where’s dad? I

gotta tell him who I saw at another town. ” he said looking around for his father. “ Well, I don’t

know where he is but he’s coming, I can feel it. ” replied Jenna smiling.

Then out of nowhere an red husky with blue eyes and almost looked like Balto came running. He

noticed Kodi and Jenna and came towards them. “ Hi mom! Hey Kodi! ” the husky said while

wagging his tail. “ Hi Zack, ” they both said at the same time. Finally Balto made it to Nome and

was greeted by everyone. Balto had spotted two of his sons and Jenna, he then smiled.

“ Hey, dad, guess who I saw. ” Kodi said in a excited and serious voice. Balto wondered who his

son saw. “ I saw your rival Steele over at another town. ” told Kodi. Balto was worried and

thinking at the same time. What if Steele had known that Kodi was his son. Zack being curious

and excited when to go see his friends who were watching a sled race. Then as he made it he went to their usual hanging out spot.

An cubby husky named Ivan. The other husky with patches of black known as William II and

Jake, the Shiba Inu. Zack smiled as he saw his friends. “ I can’t wait to see another exciting race

guys. “ said Jake wagging his tail. “ Well I wonder who’s racing? ” asked Zack interested.

“ Well it’s the great and beautiful Stella. ” answered Ivan as he made a sigh. William stared at

him and rolled his eyes out of annoyance, “ You know her father Steele, won’t let anyone touch

her. ” replied William, being smart as always. As it came to the mile marker everyone was


excited. Stella was in the lead excited about her victory. She was an champion dog like her father..

As Stella made it to the finish line the crowd gone wild. Zack stared at her, she had the same

markings like her father but her fur was brown, and she was really beautiful. Jake then started to

run as well as Ivan and William. Balto noticed Stella as well and he knew how she was, she

almost reminded him of Steele. Stella smiled as people cheered and patted her head. Ivan was

then bashed by a fully gray Alaskan Malamute. The dog then went by Stella.

“ Congrats on your victory Stella.” spoke the Malamute grinning. “ Well.....thank you Steven. ”

she replied thinking. Zack then went to Ivan to see if he was okay. “ Why does it happen every

time that any dog who goes to her that Steven bashes them. ” he yelled in anger.

“ Come on it’s not that bad, at least he didn’t harm you.. ” Zack said while smiling at his friend. “

Now that’s what I call entertainment. “ Spoke William grinning. “ Cut that out Will! ” said Jake,

since he hated arguments. “ Yeah Will stop it. ” said Ivan. “ That’s William to you Ivan! ” he
then started growling.

Zack now leaving because two of his friends were fighting accidentally slip on ice and started to

slide. As Stella was going to get her picture taken, Zack bumped into her, she then landed on a

tub of water. Steven was amazed at what happened.

Stella, now furious went up to Zack and said, “ What was that for? ” Zack just backed away and

grinned like his father. “ It was just an accident. ” Stella growled as she recognized the face, her

father remembered it very well. “ Yeah, right, ” Stella said as she left.

Steven noticing this had a plan and grinned about it. Steven ran to Steele and said “ Hello Steele,

I came to tell you what happened. ” Steele gave him the just spit it out look. “ Stella was

embarrassed because Balto’s son attack her. ” lied Steven looking serious. Steele growled, “ That

wolf dog’s son is harming her, well then I’ll get back at him if he goes over the limit. ” Steven nodded and left.

As Zack was thinking as Steven approached him. “ You know I can help you. ” spoke Steven

looking at him. Zack wondered what he meant. “ I’m sorry I should introduce myself. My name

is Steven and I’m an Alaskan Malamute. My occupation is moving dead animals. But I actually

hunt them. I hunt rabbits, caribou, deer, elk, goose, foxes, and especially.....wolves. ” told Steven

making the word wolves in a scary tone. Zack gulped because of fear. “ Now tell me about you? ” he asked.

“ Well....my name is Zack and I deliver supplies. My friends are Will, Jake, and Ivan. But my

main dog is Ivan. My personality is hyper, kind, and mainly brave. My favorite brother is Kodi.

Finally my parents are Balto and Jenna. ” he said.

Steven nodded and left. As he was walking he then said, “ It’s all according to plan. Soon you’ll

be mine Stella and mine.....only. This Balto is going to be hunted by me soon as I get close to
Zack. ” the then gave an evil laugh.

A Race in Time: part 2

As the next morning arrived Balto was already up waiting for Jenna but he heard an strange dog

approaching. “ What are you thinking letting your mutt son attack my purebred daughter. ” the

voice said while growling. “ Steele, I was wondering when you’ll come. You could just forget

about the race. ” Balto said back away while glaring. “ Forget about the RACE! NEVER!

Because of you I lost my fandom, I lost everything in Nome. I’ve even lost my precious Jenna.

Now I am in an new town with an show dog champion. ” replied Steele with his hate for Balto.

Balto sighed because he knew that Steele wasn’t going to forget. “ Steele before I go, I’ll just say

this. One day you and me might have to work together to save someone’s life. ” Balto then

walked away as Steele left growling at him. An gray malamute who looked like Steele came up

to him. “ Ah, my son, Tybalt you came. Make sure you watch Stella carefully. Don’t let that mutt

go near her. ” he said. Being protective towards her as always he nodded and left. Now Zack was

thinking because he kept on hear Steven’s words, “ I mainly hunt wolves. ” He felt worried

because Steven could kill Balto by mistake. “ Something wrong Zack, ” asked Balto coming up to him.

“ Well, no I was just thinking why do you and Steele fight anyway? ” he asked changing the

subject of his thoughts. “ Because he is still thinking that he’s the best and he won’t get over the

fact that I saved Nome. ” answered Balto looking at the sky and giving an small howl. Zack

smiled and howled as well. “ Well I have to go dad, but I will talk later. ” Zack said running. “

Where are you going? ” asked Balto confused now since that was an very short talk. “ I’m going

to compete in a race for fun. I am going to prove that I’m like you too. ” Zack yelled from an far
distance.

“ Kids, they always have dreams. ” replied Balto smiling. Zack came and smiled as he saw his

friends there cheering for him. Steven was there as well gazing about Stella, he then saw Zack

and greeted him. “ What brings you here? ” he asked thinking that mainly Balto would do this.

Zack grinned and said, “ I’m going to race. ” he started to wag his tail. “ You got a problem with

that Steven? “ asked William giving him an glare.

“ Well, at least my father didn’t let anyone down and leave his wife. ” replied Steven grinning.

William growled and walked away glaring. Zack wondered what that was about then noticed

Stella coming. Stella noticed that Zack was here, she gave him a glare and went to the starting

line. Steven and Zack did as well. But being with Steven made him feel uneasy. As soon as the

gun was fired the dogs started running. Stella was in the lead while Steven second place. He

grinned because he was behind Stella which made him feel happy. Zack started to catch up and

passed Steven. His friends wondered who would win this time. Steven growled because no one

passed him to get to second place before. Just then Zack finally passed Stella making her mad. “

You’re just doing this to make me look like a fool again. ” she said. “ No, I’m not. Your just too

stubborn to know about this.” replied Zack as he ran ahead. Stella growled and then noticed

something an iceberg was about to fall on her. Zack noticing this went backwards and pushed her

out of the way. He had just saved her life like his father would do. Stella shocked and amazed as

Steven won the race. “ Wh-wh-why did you save me? ” she asked confused. “ Even though you
blame me, it’s rude to see others hurt without doing a thing about it. ”

She just stared as he left in another direction. Instead of all the other dogs going to Steven they

went to Zack because he saved someone. Steven was made and growled for this. He then had to
make his plan come sooner than expected

A Race in Time:Part 3

Balto smiled and greeted his son, Zack. Making Kodi feel a little jealous because even the mail

dogs, Kirby, Ralph, and Dusty were amazed. “ That was awesome Zack. ” said Ralph happy and

excited. “ Yeah, you did really great saving a champion’s life. ” added Dusty smiling. “ Yeah,

that was amazing but if that was me it’ll be even better. ” replied Kirby. Kodi then said, “ Yeah,

that was great Zack for an beginner. ” Soon Zack’s friends arrived. “ Zack, this makes you even

better than Kodi, ” said Jake. “ I knew my best buddy could do it. ” Ivan said while standing

beside him. Kodi felt upset about that because he has done more than Zack. But Zack was faster

than him as a pup. Dusty then turned to Kodi, “ Something bothering you. ” Kodi stared at her. “

No just go visit you’re my great brother Zack, who is a hero for not even something big. ” he then

left. His friends stared at the leaving Kodi. Balto being a father went to go talk to Kodi. “ Kodi,

what’s the matter? “ asked Balto sitting beside him. “ It’s just that everyone thinks Zack is great

for saving some dog while I saved a life. ” Balto chuckled
