Uhhh.

I guess we just came up empty, this time.

Been running for days, and with all this wolf stamina, I still feel great.

Owwwww!!!

Ahh!!

Woah!!

Hello, little girl who cried wolf.

Aviva!

Good news is, we found each other.

Bad news, I think that the time thruster is lost forever.

(gasp) You mean that time thruster?

Like I said, there it is.

These sharp wolf eyes are on it.

Don't lose that fish!

Well Hero, I'd say we've done pretty well.

The redd looks complete to me!

Next up, lay some eggs, right?

Chris, I found you!

Hey.

Oooff!

Ooo, that was a rough entrance.

The fish!

It's here.

I know she is.

Hero just finished her nest.

She did?

Not Hero, the male!

The one with the time thruster.

He 's here somewhere.

Chris: re you sure?

I haven't seen him.

Aviva: He's here, I know it.

Aviva: We have to look around for him.

Come on, guys!

Okay, hmmm.

Hero!

You did it!!

Aha, see Hero?

I told you we wouldn't let ya down.

Oh sorry, I'll let you down.

That's a beautiful redd you've built.

Chris: With a little help from me.

Oh look, she's on to the next step.

Eggs, you're laying them.

Martin: And he's fertilizing them!

Hero completed her mission.

Sure did.

Hello, baby salmon, in there.

Your mom did a miraculous journey for you.

She's incredible!

Should we tuck them in Hero?

A little tail swish?

Eggs all safe and cozy.

Hey guys, what's wrong with Hero?

Martin/Chris: What?!

Oh no, she gave all she had to lay those eggs.

Now, she's dying.

Koki/Aviva: Dying?

Why?

All these salmon, even the one's that complete the journey, and lay their eggs, they all die.

It's part of the life cycle of the salmon.

But that's sad... Yeah, real sad.

And just how nature works.

We'll never forget you, Hero.

But don't forget, her babies, the next generation, are safe here, in the river.

They're the future of the salmon.
