the sled smashed on the rock a far distance below. She fell on her rear and started crying, losing hope of saving Balto.
Fifteen minutes later after trying to wake Balto, Tina stopped trying so did Boris. Jenna wouldn’t, she kept nudging him, no longer crying just because she was out of tears. "Jenna, he’s gone…we’ve got to go or we’ll freeze to death out here." Tina said, feeling crushed.
"She is right Jenna…Balto is…dead." said Boris, sad. Muk and Luk burst into a crying fit.
Jenna snapped around. "He’s not dead! He can’t be!" she yelled.
"Jenna, if he wasn’t killed by the Outsider to begin with, he’s probably froze to death by now and so will we if we don-"
"I’d rather freeze to death!" yelled Jenna, not willing to leave her mate. She laid on him as the others looked at their feet. "You can’t die…you promised you wouldn’t leave me…" she said softly. She cried, tears she didn’t know she had left…"You can’t be gone…" she said. Suddenly she heard something, a soft rhythmic thumping. A heart beat! She snapped up and looked at the others. "He’s still alive! I heard his heart beat!" she said, excited.
Tina and Boris looked at each other. Tina went over to Balto and put her ear to his chest. She heard his heart beat. "She’s right, he’s heart is beating! Faintly but I can hear it!" she said. They resumed their effort to wake him. Jenna nudged him for a few moments before nuzzling his head.
"Come on Balto, you can’t let us down now." she said.
Balto was in his dreamscape again, unconscious here too. Aniu approached him, Alex beside her. "He’s still alive but he’s so deeply unconscious, almost like a coma." said Alex.
"Alex, you might be from the future but you don’t know all things, Balto will overcome this for his mate." said Aniu. She put her muzzle beside Balto’s head. "Balto, you’re loved ones need you, you must wake, Jenna‘s waiting."
In the real world, Balto’s eyes snapped open. He groaned and looked at Jenna. "Miss me?" he asked.
"Balto! You’re alive!" Jenna yelled. She nuzzled him till she was tired.
"It takes more than a monster to do me in…the Outsider! Where is it?!"
"Dead, we did it, its been destroyed." said Tina, smiling.
Muk and Luk prepared to hug Boris but for once waited. Boris was surprised but smiled. "Oh come on, give uncle Boris a hug." he said. They responded with their normal act of nearly crushing him.
"This is all well and good but…I’m still alive over here!" yelled Steele, laying on his side in the snow, his leg bent at a strange angle.
Tina walked over. "Fine." she said, rolling her eyes. "I’ll hel-"
"No! I don’t want your hel-"
"Shut up!" said Tina and struck Steele on the back of the neck, knocking him out. She bandaged his wounds and straitened his leg before splinting it. She slapped him awake. "There! You didn’t deserve that but I did it anyway and don’t be ungrateful or I’ll reconsider and throw you in the chasm with the Outsider’s flaming remains." Tina’s yelling caused the avalanche blocking the canyon to rumble down itself and into the cave, covering all the remains of the Outsider beneath snow and rock, unblocking the path in the process. "Well that’s convenient"
"Yeah, now let’s go home." said Balto.

Nome, Alaska, 4 am;

"Why am I even here?" asked Steele, sitting angry on the outskirts of Nome.
"For once I’m agreeing with the bully." said Boris.
"Well I thought you’d want to say goodbye to Tina. Steele she did help you, would you rather she of thrown you into the chasm?" asked Balto.
Steele got mad but said nothing. "Steele you can’t say anything about the Outsider, its extremely important that monster remains a secret." said Tina
"Yeah, yeah." said Steele, not really intending to do so.
"Steele’s you’re still the same selfish glory hound." said Balto
"Well if my calculations are correct, the passage should open soon." said Tina.
"Well if you’re ever around please drop by." said Jenna, nuzzling her descendent.
"Same for you two."
"Goodbye." said Balto, licking her on the cheek.
Tina stepped back and drove one of the Outsider’s broken metal claws into the ground. Thunder roared throughout the area. "Goodbye." she said as lightning surged down from the sky and struck the metal claw. Reality warped around her again. She pointed her snout skywards and let out a howl, Balto joined her and Alex appeared beside Tina and did the same. The warp ended, Tina was gone.
Luk pointed and said something. "How should I know what happen?!" asked Boris. "Oh great, I’m speaking bear again!"
"What the heck happened?!" asked Steele.
"Tina went home to the future, were she and the Outsider are from." said Jenna, rubbing against Balto and chuckling.
"She was staying with her ancestors." said Balto, a smirk forming on his face.
Steele’s eyes went wide as he realized just who he’d been hitting on earlier. "You know I think you guys are right, no one needs to know about this." he said, rather rapidly.

New York City, 7 am, 2007;

Tina reemerged from the warp right were she’d began, this time she was able to not be knocked out. She looked up at Balto’s statue and smiled. "Thank you." she said before letting out a howl. "Better go make sure the world isn’t ruled by apes or something like that." she said with a laugh as she walked off.
Alex and Aniu watch down from above. "Well Aniu, you know that was a dangerous journey." said Alex.
"Yes but fate decided for it to be so and that terrible beast has been destroyed." said Aniu.
"Yeah, our charges’ combined might was too much for it, I just wish it hadn’t been such a close call."
"Time travel may change the path of time but there is always risk."
"Alright but lets try to prevent this in the future, if I was alive I’d of had a heart attack." said Alex with a laugh.

The End…
