As Kodi and Kenie make there way throught the outskirtes, Nome gets in there sights.

Kenie: So this is the town your dad saved?

Kodi: Yeap. This is it. My dad was an outcast before he saved Nome you know?

Kenie: Why would he save a twon that hated him? 

Kodi: It wasn't so much as the town as it was for the kids. He did a lot to saved the owner of my mother. My mom was the only one that did not see my dad as a different dog.

Kenie: Lucky guy!

Kodi laughs.

Kenie: How many other pups are there other than you?

Kodi: five. But there might be six pups, but only five live here.

Kenie: What do you mean?

Kodi: Her name was Aleu. She ran away after she found out about her wolf herritage. She joined a wolf pack. And my dad was the last one to see her.

Kenie: That's sad.

Kodi: She'll come back to us one day. Were here!

Before they get on the main street, Kenie stops. Kodi looks back to him.

Kodi: You ok?

Kenie: I'm just worried that the people wont kill me. I may be a wolf dog. But I look way to wolf.

Kodi: Just walk with me and you'll be fine. My dad lives on the outskirts on the other side of town. Just look calm and look like were friends.

Kenie: Ok.

Kenie starts to take some slow steps as he walks next to Kodi. They pass by a small group of humans. Kenie moves his eye balls to them but keeps his head forward. His heart beat starts to rise. One human looks and sees Keine. The face on his is more curious than scared. 

Human: Is that wolf dog? 

Kenie's fur start to spike up. 

Kodi: Easy.

Kenie takes a deep breath and continues walking with Kodi. 

Human: Wow that is one. I thought Balto and his kids were the only ones in town. Hmm. Must be family or something. 

Kenie takes a sigh of releif. As they walk more into town, no one really pays much attantion to them. Kenie is supried to see this. He thinks that it's his vest. It doesnt take to long for Kodi and Kenie to reach to edge of town. 

Kenie: That went better than I thought!

Kodi: Told you. No to my dad's.

Kenie looks around the area and is looking for a house. 

Kenie: Where? I don't see a house. 

Kodi: Oh, my dad lives on a boat near the shore.

Kenie: He doesn't have and owner? 

Kodi: Nope. He told me that his home is always his boat.

Keine: Lead the way then. 

Kodi and Kenie walk through the outskirts. They climb over a hill and see the boat. 

Kenie: Now I see why your dad lives here. Nice veiw of the ocean. 

Kodi: Come on, dad should be there. 

They walk up to the boat and jump on to the deck. Kenie looks and sees a fairly clean deck. It was a nice place to live for a stray dog. 

Kenie: So where is he? 

Kodi: Sleeping. Look.

Keine glances over and sees and large lump under a blanket sitting on the stern of the boat's deck. He can see a nose poking out.

Keine: Should we wake him up?

Kodi: I don't know. It's rude to wake someone up.

They glance over to eachother and smile.

Kodi: I'll do it.

Kenie laughs as he watchs Kodi go over to his dad. Kodi peeks under the blacket.

Kodi: DAD!!!

Kodi jumps back, while Balto jumps up screaming and hits the deck. He gets up and looks at Kodi. He does not even look the other way.

Balto: What was that for!? I told only to wake me up unless it was and emergency.

Kodi: Well I have suprise for you.

Balto: What? 

Kodi takes his paw and puts it one Balto's cheek. He turns Balto's head over to Kenie.

Balto: You got me a wolf with a vest?

Kodi and Kenie laugh.

Kodi: No. I'll leave you two to talk.

Kodi walks past Kenie and nods at him. Kodi jumps off the boat and goes to the beach. Kenie and Balto stair at each other. Not a word is said.

Balto: Ok so who are you?

Kenie: Look man. This might be a bit of a shock but... I'm your brother.

Balto: What!!? All my siblings ran off the day we were born.

Kenie: It's true.

Balto: Prove it! And what up with the vest? That thing is cool.

Kenie: I visited by our mother Aniu in a dream. She told me to come here.

Balto: Wow. Only my mom would bring us two together.

Kenie: My brother.

They walks up to each other and nuzzele.

Kenie: I came here to find a place to belong.

Balto: Kenie my brother...

He rubs his head aganist Kenie's face again.

Balto: You are most welcome here.

They here a nosie and look over and see Kodi jump up.

Balto: Say hello to the new citizen of Nome, Kodi.

Kodi: Yeah!

Kenie: So what this place like? I'd like to get to know my new home.

Balto: How about I show you my family. Once you get to know them, you'll know your home.

Kenie: I'd love to meet them.

Kodi: Come with us!

Balto: Lets go see Jenna.

Kenie: Jenna?

Balto: My mate and Kodi's mom.

Kenie: Lead the way Balto!

They jump off the boat and dash into Nome. As they get closer, Kenie notices the boiler room.

Kenie: Whats that place?

Kodi: oh, thats the boiler room. All the dogs hang out in there.

Kenie: I'll check it out sometime.

Balto: Lets cut through this alley.

They walk down a thin alley that leads on to the street. Kenie looks all around him. They reach Jenna's house and walk through the dog door.

Balto: No ones home.

Kenie: Is that Jenna?

They look over and see a beautiful red and white husky sleeping on a rug.

Balto: Yeah. That's her.

Kenie: Wow. She's beautiful. Your lucky Balto.

Balto: Thanks.

Balto walks over and looks over and Jenna and smiles. He licks her cheek and she opens here eyes.

Jenna: Hey.

Balto: Hi.

Jenna: Is someting wrong?

Balto: No. I'd like you to meet someone.

Jenna gets up and turns around. She looks at Kenie.

Jenna: Who's this? And whats with that vest? 

Balto: This... is my brother Kenie.

Jenna: Your brother!!?

Jenna looks back and forth at Kenie and Balto.

Jenna: You both look alot alike!

Kenie: It's very nice to meet you.

Jenna: The pleasure is all mine. How did you find Balto?

Kenie: I needed a place to belong. I thought I had it with my wolf pack. But it's here that I belong.

Jenna: Then your welcome here.

Kodi: Were showing him around town wanna come?

Jenna: Sure. Kenie, would you like to meet our daughter Sara?

Kenie: Or course.

Balto: Lets go!

They walk through town and get close to the book store where Sara works as a delivery dog. Just as they get to the door, a light red and white husky pops out the dog door.

Sara: Mom, Dad, Kodi. What's up?

Balto: This is my brother Kenie.

Sara: Your our uncle? That's amazing!

Kenie: Thanks. You work at a book store?

Sara: Yep! I love it.

Kenie: It's a rewarding job.

Sara: I know. Look I have to make a delivery now. I can come by the boat later. Sound good? 

Kodi: We can have dinner there!

Jenna: That's a great idea Kodi. 

Sara: See later then. Bye!

They watch as Sara runs off. 

Kenie: So who else is there?

Kodi: Hunter and Dingo are should be done with work. If we run we can reach the saw mill.

Kenie: I saw it on the way in.

Balto: They pull logs from the forrest to the saw mill.

Kenie: Strong boys, you have.

Balto: Oh yeah.

Kenie: Well in that case...

Kenie takes a big leap and runs very fast.

Keine: Last one there is a rotten egg!

Balto: You..

Kodi: Bye dad!

Jenna: Come on slow poke!

Balto laughs and dashs off. Kenie is in the lead. The tassels on his vest are flowing in the wind. He look to his side and see Kodi and Balto.

Kenie: Man your fast!

Balto: So are you!

Kodi: We are related!

They keep running and stop when they reach the edge of town. They take some deep breaths. They turn around and see Jenna. She's breathing so hard she look like she's about to die.

Jenna: Ok. Next time I have to run like that, I'll kill you.

The guys laugh. Kodi looks over and see Hunter and Dingo at the saw mill.

Kodi: There they are!

They walk over to them. Hunter and Dingo see them and get up.

Dingo: Hi dad, mom, Kodi.

Hunter looks back and sees Kenie.

Hunter: Who's that? He looks like you dad.

Balto: This my brother Kenie.

Dingo: Your brother?

Kenie: Yes. I came here to find a new home.

Hunter: In that case your welcome to be here.

Dingo: I second that.

Jenna: We were gonna have dinner on the boat. Wanna come?

DIngo: Sure.

Hunter: Hell yeah!

Balto: Kodi, can you get some meat from the butcher's?

Kodi: Sure. Can I bring Dusty?

Kenie: Who's that?

Dingo: She's Kodi's mate.

Balto: You would love to meet her Kenie.

Kenie: Then in that case, bring her.

Kodi runs into town. Balto looks to the others. 

Balto: Well theres just one more. 

All: Stark.

Kenie: Where is he? 

Dingo: Around this time, sleeping. 

Jenna: He's always the lazy one.

Kenie: Oh, so he's like the overweight one? 

Balto lightly laughs. 

Balto: Not quite. Come. 

They walk to a large alley and go over to a fence. There is a hole in it that is big enough for a dog to go through. Kenie looks on the porch of the house and sees a red and white husky sleeping. 

Kenie: Wow for someone who sleeps alot, he is ripped. 

Balto: That's what he does while he is awake he eather exersizes, eats or visits us.

Jenna: Other than that, you will find him here.  

Kenie: So should we wake him up. 

Dingo: Can I do it? 

Balto: Sure. 

Dingo walks up to Stark. 

Dingo: Wake the hell up you lazy wuss!

He takes his paw and hit Stark across the face. 

Stark: Ow. Damn it! Dingo!

Dingo: Stark, morning!

Stark: It's almost sun down dumbass!

Dingo: But we have a guest. 

Stark looks over and see Kenie.  

Stark: Is that a circus guy?

Kenie: Very funny.

Stark: Then who are you? 

Kenie: I'm your uncle Kenie. 

Stark: Cool. I love to meet other wolf dogs. Welcome to Nome. 

Hunter: Were gonna eat on the boat. 

Stark: I'm coming.

They walk out of the backyard and head back to the boat. When they get there, they see Sara. 

Balto: How'd you get here so fast?  

Sara: I got off work.

Hunter: So can you tell us about that vest you have on?

Jenna: And were you came from?

Kenie: Let's wait till dinner and I'll tell you everything.

Balto: Sound good. Cause with that thing on you look like a circus freak.

They all laugh and see Kodi come on to the boat with a bag of meat and Dusty.

Dusty: Wow he does look like your dad.

Kenie: Wow are you a wolf?

Dusty: No. Some people say that I look like one. But I'm all dog.

Kodi: And that is what make you look beautiful.

She nuzzels him. Hunter and Dingo laugh at this. Jenna and Sara bite them on there ears.

Dingo: OWW. Damn it!!

Hunter: Ok, Mom I get it!

Jenna: Good.

Stark: Nice one mom.

They get in a cirlce and Kodi and Balto give out the food. They all dig in. As they do, Kenie tells them everyhing about what happend to him. He even told them the story about how Ace took out that hunting party. He tells them about the hunter that almost killed him and how he got his vest. And the object in his vest that he cant get out. The last thing he tells them is when he heard those voices around him in the woods. But it was just Kodi. They whole group laughs.

Balto: So do you think this pack is after you? 

Dingo: Yeah. After what you did to that Ace, and how you discribed him, they wont stop.

Kenie: I dont know. I cant just fight them all off. 

Balto: No you wont. Cause I'll be there right next to you. 

Hunter: So will I. 

Dingo: You can count me in.

Stark: That will be a pain in the ass. But wont let my uncle die.

Sara: Neither will I!

Kodi: I'll fight.

Dusty: I hate to fight. But I'll still do it.

Kenie: Slow down. The pack has not even found us yet. But thaks for the help. With you guys we can take down both Ace and Trance. 

Jenna: Who's Trance?

Kenie takes a deep sigh and stands up and starts to walks around the group, while they are sitting down.

Kenie: Imagine this. If Ace took out a hunting party of four in the dead of night. Then Trance can take out ten in brought daylight. To stand in his presance, is like there is an evil monster on your back holding a sword sharp enough to cut you in half and a very jagged up blade. And it's takeing a very long time slashing your throat open.

Kodi: Are your for real?

Stark: Now I dont want to sleep anymore.

Kenie: DO you still think you can handle them?

Balto: I dont care how strong they are. I'll never stop fighting to protect the ones I love.

Dingo: It wont be the first time.

Hunter: I wish there was a way to know when they were coming.

At that second, a raven flies over the boat and flies down. They dont see it. As it flies over a voice calls to them inside there heads. There's no doubt that it's Aniu.

Aniu's voice in there heads: Avalanche Canyon. Seal them. Only one will die tonight.

Kenie: Whoa!

Sara: You herd it too?

Dingo: That was crazy.

Kenie: Who cares there coming!

Balto: And were going.

Stark: Yeah lets do this.

Balto: Hold on. I'm only taking Kenie and Kodi.

Kodi: Me!? 

Dingo: Why him?

Balto: I have an Idea.

Hunter: Fine.

Stark: What ever.

Kodi looks over to Dusty and smiles at her.

Kodi: I'll be right back.

Dusty: I love you.

Kodi: I know.

Balto: You two ready?

Kenie: Lets go!

Kodi: Right behind you.

All three of them run to the mountains as the others watch.

Jenna: Good luck Balto.

In a canyon, the pack is getting close to a large exit beteen two tall hills that you cant climb over. Just as they get close to the exit...

Trance: Stop!!

The whole clan pulls to a halt. Ace comes up.

Ace: What is it?

Trance: Look.

Ace looks up and sees Balto.

Ace: WHo the hell are you!?

Balto: Your looking for a traitor named Kenie? 

Trance: Yes.

Balto: Then stay away from my brother.

Ace: He has a brother.

Kenie walks out in front of Balto.

Ace: That's him!

Kenie: You made a big mistake. Kodi! Do it!

On top of one of the hills Kodi pushes a huge bolder off the cliff. Balto and Kenie start to walk away.

Ace: Your not going anywhere!

Ace runs as fast as he can.

Trace: You stupied bastard!

As the bolder gets closer to the ground, Ace gets closer to the exit. Ace slips right under the bolder as it falls to the ground blocking the exit to the canyon. Ace keeps running and jumps Kenie form behind and they barrol roll down an hill.

Balto: Kenie!

Balto runs after them. At the bottom of the hiil, Ace is in a state of rage as he keeps tries to tear open Kenie. Kenie's vest is torn open and Ace makes a deep cut in his skin. Kenie starts to crawl away but Ace reaches over Kenie's neck and prepares to slash it open. Balto shoves Ace away.

Kenie sees this. He look at his vest. The pocket that had the object in it has been torn open. There is no other major damage to the vest. Kenie looks around and sees a knife in the snow. He remembers that Aniu told him there's something in that pocket that he'll need later. Now Kenie knows what it is. A knife. Kenie gets up and holds the dagger sideways in his mouth. He runs over to Ace. Ace has shoved Balto aganist a tree and prepare to exicute him.

Kenie jumps to Ace's side and swings his head make in a long cut on Ace's side.

Ace: AHHH.

Ace tries to get back up. Before he can, Kenie stabs him in the upper chest. Kenie keeps the blade in as Ace struggles to say something.

Ace: Damn you!!

Kenie pulls the blade our and a huge amount of blood flies out his chest. Ace falls to the ground and dies in a snowey pool of his own blood. Kodi was watching thin from the hill where he pushed the boulder off of. He looks over to Trance and the rest of the clan. Trance gets enraged.

Trace: You sons of bitchs!!

Kodi: Never come back.

Trance: Tell your uncle and his half breed brother were not done. You just made it a whole lot worse. Fall back!

The clan starts to walk away. Trance looks back to Kodi.

Trance: This isn't over.

Kodi watches until they are out of sight. He walks down to his dad and Kenie.

Kodi: It's not over.

Kenie: I know.

Balto: But for now it is. Lets go home.

They go back to the boat and are greeted by the others.

Dusty: Are you ok?

Kodi: Were fine.

Kenie: look what was in my pocket!

Hunter: A dagger?

Dingo: Cool.

Sara: It was made by indians.

Stark: Why is is coverd in blood?

Balto: It's ok Stark. Ace is dead.

Dusty: Thats good.

Kenie: But Trance isn't.

Dingo: Theres still another fight to be held.

Balto: My mother will prepare tell us when. But until then I say we be careful.

Jenna: How much more can we handel with this pack.

Kenie: Not much if he calls in them.

Sara: Who's them?

Kenie: In nothern Alaska, is an army of the most deadliest wolves. There are the meanist, darkest and strongest wovles of them all. To survive this kind of fight will take careful planning...

Stark: Fighting skills beyond this world.

Balto: And above all...

Everything in the area draws quiet.

Balto: Our own army of wolves.

Dingo: That's pretty deep dad.

Hunter: It's impossible. No wolf pack is gonna fight to help us.

Kenie: Well, there is...them.

Balto: Who?

Kenie: The rest of our family.

Balto: Our brothers and sister?

Kenie: Thats the best I can think of.

Jenna: We dont even know if there alive.

Kenie: Aniu told me that she'll come to us when ever we need her.

Stark: How do we do that?

Kenie: Lets try and pull our thoughts together and try to get her to come to us.

Balto: Good Idea!

They all get in a circle. They close there eyes and empty there thoughts. They call out to Aniu and after a few minutes they open there eyes and see Aniu. Standing right in front of them. Some are shcked that this worked.

Aniu: My children.

Balto: Mom.

Kenie: Hi.

Aniu: You want me to have your brothers and sister to come to you?

Sara: We need this.

Dingo: They'll kill Kenie and all of us.

Aniu: Of course I will. I have been watched over them all of there lives. They all live together and have mates.

Kenie: Great, I'm the only one that doesn't have a mate.

They laugh.

Balto: So they have a family?

Aniu: And pups the same age as yours. They have strong hearts just like yours and will do anything to protect the ones they love.

Kodi: They are family. Can you get the pups to come to?

Aniu: I'll get all of them.

Mist starts to flow pass Aniu and she slowly starts to fade away.

Aniu: One day and they will all be here. Just sit and wait.

Kenie: We will.

They watchs Aniu fades into the wind. A day passes. Kenie stays on the boat with Balto. Later that afternoon, the whole family meet on the boat to wait for the others to come.

Dingo: DO you think they'll come?

Kodi and Sara look over and see Balto and Kenie looking out to the mountains.

Sara: They do.

Stark: The best thing out of all this for me is that I'll get ot meet some more wolf dogs.

Kenie: Look!

The gang dash to the edge of the boat and see about twelve wolf dogs heading strait to them.

Jenna: Is that them?

Balto looks closer.

Balto: That is them!

Balto and Kenie howl. This make there visiters run fast up to the deck of the boat. A dark gray and light gray wolf dog comes forward.

wolf dog: Balto, Kenie?

Balto: That's us!

Wolf dog: I'm Jack.

Two others come up. One is a male and the other is female. The male has all dark gray fur and a massive scar across his face. And the girl has all white fur.

Male: I'm Axel.

Female: And I'm Moon.

Balto and Kenie hug them.

Keine: The family is back together.

Jack, Axel and Moon introduce there mates. Axel's mate is a dark and light tan wolf named Raven. With them are there pups Paul, Kuina, and Zolo. Moon's mate is a tall, very musular, black and dark blue wolf named Eli. There pups are Blitz and Sashta. Jack's mate is a wolf with dark blue fur with a light blue underside named Kiona. And with them is there only child Blitz.

Kodi: So what do we do now Dad? 

Balto: Aniu will come and tell us when to be ready. Until then, we better practice our fighting strength.

Jenna: What about me?

Balto: It's to dangerous for you Jenna.

Jenna: I understand.

Moon: Should we get started then?

Balto: Tommorow we prepair for whats coming.

Kenie thinks to himself that this what he has wanted all his life. A place to belong, a family that loves him and an adventure that he will risk his life to experince to see.

In the cave where Trance and his clan lives he is alone with another wolf.

Trance: Your brother was the greatest fighter I've ever known. I'm sorry Zack.

Zack: There gonna pay!

Trance: Good. You have been trained by Ace personaliy. You are just like him. And you will take his place at my side. As second in command of the strogest wolf pack in the history of the world.

Zack: Thank you, Trance. How long will it take to have the Dark ones to get here?

Trance: I already sent a messenger to them. About a mounth our two.

Zack: What should we do until then?

Trance: Train yourself to be stronger than any other wolf will ever be.

Zack: I will.

Just then a wolf comes in and bows to the town of them.

Trance: What is it?

Wolf: We caught some trespassers.

Zack: Caught? You suposed to kill anything that comes into our area dumbass!

Wolf: They asked an audience with you Trance.

Trance: Very well. Bring them.

Wolf: Sir!

The wolf leaves.

Zack: I'll go.

Trance: No. This will be your first job as second in command. Send them in!

Two animals come in. One is a wolf with a black and dark blue underside as it's fur color. The other, a husky with black and white as it's fur color.

Zack: A dog!?

Trance: Easy, Zack.

Zack: But...

Trance: Zack.

The tone in his voice and the look on his face was almost demon like. Zack calms down and looks to there visitors.

Tance: Who are you two?

Wolf: Someone like you.

Husky: Lives who were destroyed by that damn wolf dog and his family.

Trance: Nothing was ruined. We just took a heavy loss and were going back.

Husky: And that is why were here. You cant get back to that pathetic little town.

Trance: What the hell do you mean?

Wolf: That canyon was the only way for any wolf or dog to get into the Nome territory.

Husky: Any other way and you will all be killed in a second.

Trance: So what your saying is that we cant get back to that traitor!!?

Wolf: There is another way.

Zack: Where?

Husky: Allow us to join you and we'll show you the way.

Wolf: Do we have a deal?

Trance: Zack?

Zack: Hell yeah.

Trance: We have an agreement. Now tell us you names and we will prepair for our revenge.

Husky: Call me... Steele.

Wolf: I'm... Niju.

Trance: Then welcome to the pack boys!

All four of them howl. It echos out the cave and all the other wolfs howl along with them.

Balto's enimes have united and have vowed to destroy them all. Trance, Niju, Steele, Zack and an entire army of the strogest wolves are coming for Balto and the ones he loves. 

This is the end of the story of Balto's brother. 

To be continued on Battle of the North.
