Hours later he was woken by a big bang on the top of the car. Tramp got up and looked up to the top of the car. There was a Collie that was human like karate kicking a weird dog-like beast. Tramp jump off the train and the train disappeared into the distance. SETTING: The next year.>Idaho Wilderness A family of wolves are running from hunters that are on snow mobles. Each of the five adult wolves had wolf pup in it's mouth by the neck. Two of the pups are Nitro and Kisna. Another pup (he is nameless) is in his mother's mouth. His father was killed by the hunters. The pup mother hid the pup in the bushes. He was too young to know what is going on. Just as she hid him, she was shot. The female of the Alphas (Saratengi), a white wolf, dropped Nitro. She searches for the pup. The male of the alphas (Duke), a black wolf, is telling the Betas (Malachi and Esther) that they now lead the pack and to run away. The pup (Kisna) that was in Duke mouth won't leave Duke nipped at her tail and she ran behind a tree. Saratengi and Duke are looking for Nitro. Minutes later, the hunters caught up with the Alpha pair. They point their gun at the alpha pair. Nitro pops out of the snow and startles the hunters. The wolves try to jump the hunters, the hunters shot the alpha pair. The hunters were about to shot Nitro when the Road Rovers showed up. They arrested hunters and took in Nitro. They left later. Malachi came back and his found Kisna hidden behind the tree. Malachi cut his paw others to think a mountain lion got Kisna. The other pup in the bushes was crying for help. Malachi couldn't hear the pup's cries and Malachi left. He followed Malachi and Kisna paw prints. He didn't know that a snow storm was coming. SETTING: Forest> Snow Storm It is hard for the pup to walk through the storm. The tracks were gone and the scent got washed away. The pup went into a tree cave until the storm was over. SETTING: Forest> After the storm Two men were practicing with their sled dogs for the Iditarod. The sled dog owners is mean men. They over work the dogs and sometimes don't feed them. They use some of the dogs for Illegal Dog Fights. Some of the dogs on the team were mean. CECIL (CANADIAN ACCENT) Stop. BOB (CANADIAN ACCENT) Okay break time. The dogs were panting like crazy. In the team with a grey and white Norwegian Elkhound named Tundra. The lead dog was a black and white male husky named Fang. Grix, a female Samoyed/husky (gray and black with red highlights). There was a female husky named Geri (black and grey). Iron, a male silver and white husky. Talon was a Keeshond/husky that was dark gray, light brown, and white. Blizzard was a male pure white husky. There was something in the sled moving. A small head comes out of the blankets of the sled. It was a husky puppy. His name was Mushca but everyone calls him Mush. He was a curious puppy. He jumped out of the sled and looking around. He wandered a long away from the team. The dogs of the team start barking. CECIL Shut up you mutts. BOB Wait! Where is my dog, Mush? In the tree cave the pup wakes up. He went of the tree cave. When he got out, he saw a husky pup looking around. He barks at the husky. The husky barks back. Then they started to play with each other. They didn't see the two men coming behind them. BOB Well, well What do we have here? CECIL Looks like your dog made friends with a wolf pup. Bob thought for a moment. BOB You know the news reports about hunters being arrested for killing most a wolf pack. CECIL Yeah, so. BOB This wolf pup could be from the pack. I read about wolf pups his age stay with the pack at all times. It's parents must of been killed. The dog fights in Nome, Alaska are looking for a wolf to fight against the toughest dogs. CECIL I know what you're thinking. BOB This wolf pup will maybe make us rich. Bob grabbed at Mush. The wolf pup saw the human and ran in the tree cave. CECIL We can't fit in there. BOB Lets sent one of the dogs. CECIL Here Tundra. Here boy. BOB Tundra go get that pup. Tundra goes in the tree cave and brings the wolf pup out by carrying it by it's neck. He brings it to Cecil. CECIL That's my dog. Cecil carries the Wolf pup to the sled. Mush is put in the sled after. SETTING: The next year The wolf was now called Aaron. Aaron acts more dog than wolf. He still does wolf things like howls to bring wolves to where he is. He and Mush are part of the team now. Aaron was an outcast by other sled dogs in the racing. His only friends are Tundra and Mush. Mush and Aaron in training for sled pulling. The other dogs are in the north at the Iditarod. Bob is with them. BOB Mush Aaron and Mush pull the sled. BOB Stop Aaron and Mush stop. SETTING: Night time Mush and Bob are sleeping. Aaron is wide awake. He remembers this place well. It was the place he was born. (A Wolf Howl) Aaron's ear perk up. He thought "maybe I can visit the remaining members of my pack." Aaron starts to howl in return. (A wolf howls back) Some wolves comes out of the woods. One of them is Kisna. Another one was Peter. The Betas (now the Alpha pair) came out. Two others were Herod and Herodias. Suddenly Bob woke up. BOB Oh no Wolves. Lets get out of here. Bob quickly hooks Aaron and Mush to the sled. BOB Mush. Mush started to run. Aaron didn't. BOB You stupid wolf mush. Aaron looks at the wolf pack. AARON (Thinking) I hope you guys can forgive me, someday. (FADE OUT) (FADE IN) SETTING: Four years later Cecil and Bob's sled dogs were getting on the train to the Iditarod for Anchorage, Alaska. Tramp got into the train. Aaron is now a full grown wolf. The sled dog owners use Aaron in Dog fights and he wins every time. The other teams keep him away from his food and leaving only scraps for him to eat. The dogs let Tramp eat Aaron's food. Tramp didn't like what the other dogs were doing so he brought Aaron food to him. TRAMP (Barking) It's mean what the other dogs are doing to you. AARON (Barking) I know. MUSH (Barking) They won't stop. I leave some of my food so Aaron won't stave TRAMP (barking) Aaron, you're a wolf, the biggest and toughest canine in the world. TUNDRA (barking) He is right. You beat dogs tougher than them in the dog fights. AARON (Growls) You guys are right. Aaron walks over to Fang, the leader. Aaron growls at him and shows his teeth. FANG (Growls and Barks) You want to fight me. The other dogs in the group with Fang laugh. TALON (BARKS) Hey, wolf. I got a message from your mother. Talon howls a like a wolf All the dogs laugh but Tundra, Mush, and Tramp. It got Aaron very mad. He attacks Talon. They are biting and scraching. The train stops at the next station. Bob and Cecil are checking on the dogs. BOB Oh great. Aaron is attacking Talon. CECIL Quick, tie them up. They are killing each other. Bob and Cecil tied up Aaron and Talon. When they left. Two more dogs got on the train car. They were both huskies. Their names were Diamond and Exile. Exile was a male blue grey and white husky. Diamond was a female black and white husky with a silver diamond on her forhead. EXILE (BARKING) Helloski DIAMOND (BARKING) Hi MUSH (BARKING) Who are you? DIAMOND (BARKING) I am Diamond and this is Exile. MUSH (barking) Are you Exile the Road Rover. EXILE (Barking) Yes MUSH (Barking) Cool. They were interuped by barking AARON (barking) Talon for the record. My mother is dead. So is my father and some of my pack. TALON (BARKING) Oh boo whoo The other sled dog near Talon laughed. Exile , Diamond, Tramp, Mush, and Tundra didn't think it was funny. Tundra spoke up. TUNDRA (BARKING) Why don't you guys leave him alone. What Aaron said wasn't funny. DIAMOND (BARKING) Tell us what happened. Aaron tells what happened through his eyes. AARON (Barking) It happen during the first week out of the den. I was the youngest member of the pack. By the den I was playing with the Alpha pair's pups, when a gun shot rang out. The bullet hit my father in the head. He died instantly. My mother took me away from the den to get me safe. The alpha pair and the Betas took the other pups. After a mile my mother got tired. To keep me safe she hidden me in some bushes. She left and I saw her get shot. I heard other shots and howls. Later I saw the male Beta with one of the Alpha's pups. I cried to the Beta but he didn't hear me. A snow storm came and I hid in a tree cave. I was found by my master and became a sled dog. GRIX (barking, wrimpering) That's sad. GERI(Barking) That's why you attacked Talon. You were defending you wolf culture. Some of the other weren't not so soft. IRON (Barking) Little baby wolfie, lost his mama. Aaron was getting mad again. TALON (Barking) Look at the baby wolfie. FANG (BARKING) Are you scared of me? AARON (Barking) No FANG (Barking) Well, you should be. I am a descent of Steele, the fastest and toughest dog in the races. If it wasn't for Balto. He would be the hero. BLIZZARD (Barking) Stop making fun of the great Balto. He took the sled from Steele, so he save the sick children in Nome. GRIX (Barking) Yeah, Steele tried to prevent the sled dogs from getting back with the antitoxin. For if it wasn't for Balto being half-wolf, the anitoxin won't of made it to Nome. BLIZZARD (BARKING) Worst of all, Steele tried to kill the other dogs. He put extra marks on the trees to lead them to cliff. He came back to Nome and lied to the other sled dogs there be telling the Balto and the others were dead. SETTING: Anchorage Train Station. Tramp, Exile, and Diamond said good-bye to the sled team. They told them they will meet them in Nome. SETTING: Kennels Aaron was in a cage. He was thinking. AARON (Thinking) I wonder what life would be if the hunters didn't kill my family. SETTING:Starting Line For Iditarod There were tons of other dogsled teams. There were a lot of people watching the race. ANNOUCER Welcome to the Iditarod. All dog sleds to the starting line. Talon was on another team. He was sold for a wolf sled dog named Snowflake. Aaron never seen a more prettier wolf than her. She was a pure white wolf. She was very sad. Geri and Iron were on the side lines watching with the team's teenage dogsitter, Jay. ANNOUCER On your marks, get set,GO!!!! The dogs (and wolves) raced down the middle of the town and then into the woods. SETTING: Night time All of the dogs in the Fang team (the team that Aaron is in) are tied to trees with leashes and the wolf were tied with a chain. Bob and Cecil are sleeping. All the dogs (not Mush and Tundra) were not just bugging Aaron that were bugging Snowflake. It the shadow something was watching them. SNOWFLAKE (barking) Leave me alone. AARON (barking) Leave her alone. FANG (barking) What's this. Baby Wolfie got a girlfriend. AARON (barking in wolf) Snowflake, these idiots do this all the time. Tundra and Mush won't tease you. SNOWFLAKE (barking in wolf) I am used to it. The last team I was in bugged me too. They keep talking to each other. In the shadow the fugure moved closer to the camp. He is looking at the two wolves. He looks at the other dogs. Fang falls alsleep. MUSH (barking) I wonder what they are talking about. TUNDRA (barking) Who knows? I don't know what they are saying. They are barking in wolf. The fugure in the shadows growls and barks. He moves closer to the camp. GRIX (barks) Oh great. I hear wild wolves. Grix looks around looking scared. BLIZZARD (barks) It is just Aaron and Snowflake. AARON and SNOWFLAKE (barks) It wasn't us. Another bark comes from the shadows. GRIX (frighten barking) There it is again. Fang wakes up. FANG (Annoyed barking) Shut up wolves. I am trying to sleep. TUNDRA (barks) It's isn't them. There is another wolf here. FANG (growls) All the wolves I see are the two wolves there. SNOWFLAKE (Barks) We are not doing that. The fugure barks and growls again. BLIZZARD(wimpering) I'm scared. GRIX (barks) Me too. MUSH (barks) Me three. The fugure came out of the woods. It was a pure black wolf. His name is Black. He had his eyes set on Aaron. Black wanted to mate with the female wolf beside Aaron. The other dogs in the team saw the large black wolf. He was larger than Fang and Aaron. Black growls at Aaron. Aaron growls back at the stranger. BLACK (Barking ang growling in wolf) Get away from the female she is mine. AARON (Barking and growling in wolf) She belongs to nobody. BLACK (Barking and growling in wolf) Than she is mine. AARON (barking and growling in wolf) I said she is nobodys wolf. BLACK (Growling and wolf) I warned you. Black attacks Aaron. Aaron can't attack the strange wolf because he is tie to a tree with a chain. Black continues to attack the wolf. Aaron continues to pull at the chain. He pulled until the collar on his neck snapped off. They fought each other. They were biting, snaping at each other. The fight woke Bob and Cecil up. CECIL Oh no, wolves. Aaron snapped at the back of Black's neck. He found a brown collar on Black's neck. He pulled at it. Black pulls away. The collar comes off. The wolf gives up and left. BLACK (barking in wolf) There will be a next time. I will be back. AARON (barking in wolf) And I will be waiting. Aaron went back to Snowflake's side and lied down. She licks him on the cheek. FANG (barking) He save our lives. He will be not teased anymore. Everyone agreed. ALL DOGS (barking) Yes. The humans had other views. BOB He was protecting the female on the team. Wolves that are male fight with other males for a female. CECIL It looks like Snowflake loves him. BOB Hey. If we get them to mate. We can teach the pups to sled race and dog fight. We will be rich. SETTING: FOREST The dogs are back to racing. GRIX (PANTING, BARKING) All they think about is money. Aaron did not just save us, he saved the masters. They still think of making money. BLIZZARD (BARKING, PANTING) All they think about is money. MUSH (BARKING, PANTING) Yeah!!! FANG (BARKING, PANTING, GROWLING) Shut up back there. Your slowing down because of your talking. SETTING: NOME, ALASKA (EIGHT DAYS LATER) There were two teams getting to the town. One of the teams is Talon's team and the other was Fang's Team. They are neck and neck. Fang ran ahead of Talon. Aaron, who was in the next row was next to Talon now. Talon had an idea. Talon snaps at Aaron's front leg. Aaron trips and falls and then the rest of the team fall. Talon's team ran off laughing. The dogs in Fang's team got up and starts to run. They ended up in second place. At night all the sled owers were in the local bar. All the sled dogs were wandering the town. Aaron asked Snowflake out and they are together watching the Northern lights. Diamond and Exile are nearby watching them too. Tramp is in an alley. He is knocking over garbage cans for food. In the bar there is a fight. MAN 1 I told you no dogs in the bar. MAN 2 Okay I will put him outside A finnish spitz was put outside. He sees Tramp. FINNISH SPITZ (Barking) Hey Tramp. Long time no see. TRAMP Hi Snap. How's it going? SNAP (BARKING) Good. Did you get a girlfriend yet? TRAMP (BARKING) No. I am still single. Still living with the reporter? SNAP (BARKING) Yeah. Just as they were talking, the sled dog owners went out of the bar. TRAMP (BARKING) What is happening? SNAP (BARKING) A snow storm is coming. All the owners are puting their dogs in the kennels. The storm is going to be one of the worst. Bob and Cecil comes back with all the dogs (and wolves) on leashes and being put in the kennel. The winds started to blow hard. SETTING: NOME>Snowstrom Tramp is under the despatch station. The wind and snow are banging against the building. Snap is on the upper floor sleeping. There were no humans around. All the humans were back in the bar. Suddenly a message came on the radio. Voive (over radio) We are in Anchorage, the other rescue team never found the crashed plane yet. We hoped god is with the six people in the plane during this freak storm. We hope they find a way to survive. Tramp's ears perk up. So did Snap's. TRAMP (BARKING) Did you hear that? SNAP (BARKING) Yeah. TRAMP (BARKING) We got to do something. SNAP (BARKING) Do what? TRAMP (BARKING) I have a plan. SETTING: DOG KENNELS Tramp goes to certain cages and asks dogs for help. The only one that wanted to help were Aaron, Snowflake, Mush, and Tundra. Exile and Diamond were in the kennels in the storage room and they asked to help. AARON (BARKING) We need another team. One team's sled can't hold six people. Aaron and Snowflake found a team. The team had no leader. The leader of the team was put to sleep because of cancer. All of the team was made of wolves. The owner is a huge Star Wars fan and named them all after Jedi characters. Palpatine was the wolf that got put to sleep. The other team members were Yaddle, Qui-Gon, Luke, Leia, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Vader, and Mace. Yaddle, Obi-Wan, and Mace were just puppies and they just ride in the sled. QUI-GON (BARKING IN WOLF) We have no leader. LEIA (BARKING IN WOLF) We can't go without a leader to lead us. AARON (BARKING IN WOLF) I will be your leader. While Aaron and Snowflake was talking to the wolf team, Mush took Tramp and the others to the room the sleds are held. TRAMP (BARKING) This is a first for me. MUSH (BARKING) So leader what do we do. TUNDRA (BARKING) Yeah leader. TRAMP (BARKING) I didn't say anything about being a leader. MUSH (BARKING) It's who ever had the idea to do this has to become the leader. TRAMP (BARKING, SAD) Great. Aaron comes in with the wolves. He made a promise to the wolves in his lead. The promise was to free the wolves that were locked up in Anchorage and free the team. Qui-Gon told the pup's parents are there. The rest are looking around for Palpatine, the leader. Each dog and wolf were fitted into the reins. Tramp, Snowflake, Snap, Diamond, Mush, Tundra, Exile and Diamond were one team. The other team was Aaron, Qui-Gon, Luke, Leia, Yoda, and Vader with the pups in the sled. They went outside. The wind was blowing very hard and snow was whiped every where. TRAMP and AARON MUSH!!! MUSH (BARKING) What? TUNDRA (BARKING) They ment the go one, not your name. MUSH (BARKING) Oh, yeah. The dogs rushed off. After a few days of searching. All of them took a rest. DIAMOND (BARKING) How are we going to find them? We don't know where the plane is. Obi-Wan, Yaddle, and Mace come out of the sled and start playing in the deep snow. The females are lying down. The males were keeping guard. Suddenly howls came from the woods. Out of the woods came seven wolves. They were lead by Black. BLACK (BARKING IN WOLF) Well, well look who's here. The human trained wolves of our pack. Trained by the humans who killed the other members in Anchorage. QUI-GON (BARKING IN WOLF) Shut up Black. They are not dead. BLACK (BARKING IN WOLF) Yes they are. A law pasted saying no wolves in dog racing. Anyone chaught with wolves or half wolves in their teams, will be arrested and the wolves put to sleep. I am not shuting up. I am the pack leader now and there is nothing you can do about it. VADER (BARKING IN WOLF) We have no beef with you now. We formed a new pack and Aaron is our leader. AARON (BARKING IN WOLF) Yeah. Each member of the pack accepted me as the new leader. SNOWFLAKE (BARKING IN WOLF) And me as the Alpha female. BLACK (BARKING IN WOLF) You are going to be my mate. SNOWFLAKE (BARKING IN WOLF) Aaron is my mate. Aaron quickly looks at Snowflake. SNOWFLAKE (BARKING IN WOLF) I love him ever since I joined his team. Unlike you Black. TRAMP (BARKING IN WOLF) We can talk about this love thing later. We got to save the people. MUSH (BARKING IN DOG) What are they saying? EXILE (BARKING) Black, the black wolf, wants Snowflake to be his mate. Snowflake said Aaron is her mate. MUSH (BARKING) Oh. DIAMOND (BARKNG) How do you how to speak wolf? EXILE (BARKING) Nitro taught me how. SNAP (BARKING) The Strayer? EXILE (BARKING) How did you knowski? SNAP (BARKING) I am the pet of a news reporter. TUNDRA (BARKING, ANNOYED) Just what we need a reporter's dog. They heard growling. They turn back to the wolves. The wolves wre fighting each other. Tramp came back to the dogs. TRAMP (BARKING) Aaron says to take the pups and get out of here. The dogs quickly got into the reins. The pups got into the sled. They ran off. SETTING: ALASKAN WILDERNESS A few more days later. The storm was over the day before. DIAMOND (BARKING) I hope Aaron and the others are okay. TRAMP (BARKING) I hope so too. Obi-Wan saw something. He jumped off the sled and landed in the deep snow. Tramp and the others stopped. Tramp went out of reins and put Obi-Wan back in the sled. OBI-WAN (BARKING IN WOLF) Mr. Tramp I saw the plane. TRAMP (BARKING IN WOLF) Where? OBI-WAN (BARKING IN WOLF) Over in the trees over there Tramp walks back to the team and puts the reins back on. TRAMP (BARKING) Come on dogs. Over to the trees. Indeed there was the plane by the trees. Outside the plane was all six humans. They were calling them to come. There four adults and two children. Like Aaron said six can't fit into one sled. They got out of the reins and comforted the humans. Suddenly there was a howl and then there were others. The humans were getting scared. Out of the wood came, Aaron and his team. AARON (BARKING) Need some help. EXILE (BARKING) A lot of helpski. TUNDRA (BARKING) Yeah. The humans got into the two sleds. Two of the adults knew how to control a dog sled. They headed to Anchorage. Two days later they were found by search and rescue. Before search and rescue saw the wolf team (Aaron and the others), the wolves were gone. Epioploge Tramp and the other dogs were taken to Anchorage. Tramp, Diamond, Exile, Mush, Tundra, and Snap were put in a shelter. Snap got claimed by his owner. The sled dog owers were arrested and the dogs were sold off. Mush was taken in by Jay, who was moving to Picton, Ontario for a new job. An Indain women (Amani) came and took Exile and Diamand. Tundra was taken in by an old man. Later Tramp escaped and went on the next train out of Alaska. The train was heading for Okanhoma. TO BE CONTINUED
