life. ” Balto chuckled a little, “ I see well Zack never been so

happy for a good deed, even though they think Zack is great, there is probably someone who

thinks your better than he is. ” “ and that is......” replied Kodi.

“ Well I don’t know but you will find out later. ” replied Balto as he was leaving. “ Thanks...dad.

” replied Kodi smiling. Zack was now watching his friends play around. Ivan was running away

from William and Jake. Jake was trying his best to catch Ivan. He was new to his town and he

loved it. His master Mr. Yamaha came here for a chance to live in the beauty of Alaska. William

finally caught Ivan, “ See I told you I was more faster than you Ivan. ” “ Aw, come on, I beat you

in the first time. ” he said whining. “ That’s because I went slow for you. Come on Ivan, you big

baby. ” William said rolling his eyes. Zack then went up to Jake, “ Something wrong? ” Jake

shook his head, “ I was thinking of my home place, Japan. ” Zack nodded, “ So you’re homesick,

come on just stick to us and you’ll be fine all the way. Were like family. ” Jake smiled and had

tears in his eyes, “ Thank you Zack, you truly are a good friend. ” Zack smiled than noticed Balto

coming towards them. “ So you guys are having fun, I see for sure. ” Balto said, as he sat down.

“ Yeah, but I got to go check on something now. ” replied Zack as he left. Steven grinned and

went up to Zack. “ Zack, buddy I am hearing rumors of an dog attacking others. Don’t tell me

that it is you. ” replied Steven acting worried. Zack shook his head and left.

As he was walking he heard an strange noise in the bushes. It came out Stella, she looked at him

and said, “ I’m just here to say thank you. But why did you save me? Don’t you hate me for who

I am? ” “ No, I saved you because it isn’t right to see someone like you hurt. It doesn’t matter if

your Steele’s daughter. “ he answered. Stella, smiled and then said, “ Well, thank you. Even

though I am a champion it is hard to have some fun around here because people like me for what

I do not who I am. ” Zack smiled and said, “ Now she ain’t being stubborn. ” Stella growled and

started to chase him. Zack started to run grinning, he never had this much fun ever. Stella after a

while started to laugh, she never had fun at all because her father wanted her to train. After

awhile the two rested. “ Thanks for making me have some fun actually. ” said Stella sitting

down. “ Yeah, you seem like an great friend. ” replied Zack sitting as well. Stella smiled and then

said, “ So how does it really feel to be the son of a hero. ” shed asked curious. “ It feels great

but....hold on I have to get a drink. ” he said while leaving. As Steven saw this he glared but then

grinned because he got an plan. Tybalt noticed what happened and started to chase Zack. Zack

got scared and ran away, after a while he notice Tybalt was bleeding everywhere. “ Who did this
to you. ” replied Zack worried.

“ The person..who.....did....this....i...i....is..... ” before Tybalt could answer he died. Zack was

upset because he couldn’t save an life. Steven now over by Stella is saying, “ Stella! Come

quick! That mutt Zack has injured your brother Tybalt! ” Stella now worried follows Steven and

see Zack by the dead Tybalt. “ No! How could this be! Brother...no. ” she started to burst in tears

upset. Zack said, “ Stella...” Stella glared at him, “ So, you trick me by being a friend so you

could kill him, go away I never want to see your face again. ” Zack being upset ran away towards

the wild of Alaska.

The next morning the news of Tybalt’s death came and people were upset. Balto was upset, “ I’d

never knew you could do a thing like this. ” Jenna was there beside him trying to comfort him.

Stella was there thinking while laying down upset, she never felt this way. Steele heard the noise

decided to go over to get Balto. Steven now grinning as he heard Balto is going to find him went

after him. “ Now, when we are alone, you are going to die. ” he then laughed. Stella hearing this
went to go back to Nome to get help.

A Race in Time: part 4

As Stella made it in time she saw Ivan and his friends talking to Kodi. When they saw Stella,

Ivan gave out a glare, “ What do you want? ” asked Ivan making a glare. Kodi then went up to

her, “ What does the daughter of Steele want? ” Stella then put her ears down and said, “ I am

sorry but Steven lied to me. He killed him just so he can kill Balto. ” “ WHAT! ” they whole

group or Zack and Kodi’s friends said. “ Come on let’s go on by sled just in case Balto’s hurt. ” replied Kodi as he and the others went out.

As Balto notice Steven gone, he went on his own. Balto sniffed around the area and howled, he

then notice a wolf approaching him. “ Something wrong? ” the wolf asked noticing Balto was

howling. “ Yes, have you seen an red husky? ” asked Balto. “ Yes, I have. He’s been heading into

the middle of nowhere. ” the answered and left howling. Balto nodded and noticed fog looking
upset. “ mother...if....only you can help. ”

Kodi tried to look around as Stella was too. “ I don’t seen anything Will do you? ” asked Ivan. “

For the last time it’s William. ” he said. “ No time to fight, we have to find Zack and Steven. ”

replied Jake looking around. “ What if we don’t make it in time, ” spoke Ralph worried. Dusty

then smiled at Ralph and said, “ Don’t worry, we will make it like last time when we saved him,
right Kodi. ” Kodi nodded giving a smile.

Balto was now looking around and notice Steele. “ Steele, ” he said giving a glare. “ I am to get

rid of you once and for all. ” Steele then lunged him from the side. Balto then kept going back

until Steele fell from a cliff into the freezing waters of Alaska. Balto was now upset, “ I guess

you heart can never defeat the hatred you have inside of you. ” he then howled for Steele’s death.

As Kodi and the others heard Balto’s howl they started to race towards the sound. But then again

something jumped at Balto, it was Steele, “ I guess I win this time. ” before Steele can bite his

throat a mysterious dog bites Steele in the neck making him choke to death and hurt. “ Steven

why did you do that to him. ” replied Balto worried. Steven grinned as he showed his true colors.

“ Because I hunt wolves and you’re my next victim BALTO! ” Steven started to attack Balto

while looking really vicious. Balto attacked Steven. After moments of battle Steven bite Balto’s

leg and Balto fell. Steele then got up and attacked by he made Steele onto a tree. “ Stop it

Steven! ” yelled Stella yelling at him. Steven grinned and said, “ Stella my lovely Stella join me

and I will stop attacking them, if not then you’ll die as well. ” Stella then glared at Steven and

said, “ No, I won’t because I am my own person, and I never even loved you at all. ” Steven

barked and lunged her, suddenly he was attacked by another husky. “ Zack! ” said Stella happy

and worried. William and Ivan saw Steven’s lackeys coming and they started to attack them.

Kodi grabbed Balto first then Steele and the back so the can be carried to safety. Zack then

attacked Steven more. Finally Steven finally fell off a cliff, “ I’ll get my revenge on all of you,

especially you Zack. ” Stella was excited to see Zack so she licked his face. “ I thought you were

an friend, ” Stella sighed, “ yeah I am but the lick is just a sign that we are all glad that you are

safe. ” “ Zack, come on lead the way home. ” said Kodi smiling. Zack smiled and started to lead

the team home. As they went into Nome the towns people celebrated and patted Zack’s head,

they took Balto and Steele inside to check them out. “ You’re a hero just like your father you
two. ” an women said. Zack and Kodi smiled.

As the new morning came Steele already left and Balto was resting his broken ankle. Zack went

up to him. “ I see you saved me. It takes a hero to save another. ” replied Balto smiling. Zack

smiled back while wagging his tail. Ivan than said, “ We did it Will, we are heroes. We saved

Balto! ” “ Yes, we did Ivan and I am glad we have saved an soul. ” replied William smiling. Ivan

was happy because William finally made him be able to call him will. Jake was happy too

because no more arguments about that problem at least. Stella went to Zack and said, “ Wanna

race? ” “ You’re on. ” replied Zack chasing her, thus was another of Balto’s pups becoming a hero.
