The story of Baloo: From zero to hero.
There was once a young himmalayan brown bear or red bear named Baloo. He was initially a coward even by bear standards. He was constantly made fun of by Shere Khan, the white tiger ever since they were cubs. Baloo would envy the asiatic black bear's and sloth bear's ability to climb trees and even get food like honey not realising that he had the potential but was afraid to do so. Fustrated that no female bear would consider him a mate during the mating season, he asked Bagheraa for help. Bagheraa, however said that he is a panther and baloo being a bear has to find help from a bear. Baloo became friends with a dhole pack which was raising a mancub named Mowgli, a few years later. Ten years later, Baloo still could not find a mate, however,he became extremely close to the dhole pack led by their leader named Red Canine. Bagheraa was entrusted to teach Mogwli the ways of the jungle. One day, during the drought when the animals according to the law of the jungle were to act peacefully to each other at a large waterhole, Shere Khan snifed out Mogwli and demanded the dholes hand him over. Baloo was afraid of the white tiger but he stood with the dholes and Baagheraa. Shere Khan told Baloo that he has always been a coward and not to even bother and due to the truce, the white pantherine refrained from attacking. A backstory:this white tiger had become a maneater ever since he became crippled after afight with Haiti a bull elephant. Shere Khan had difficulty catching prey as he lacked camoflage and was easily spotted by prey. This made him more aggressive and bolder than the average tiger and hetookdown gaurs way more thanan average tiger would.At 600 pounds, Shere Khan was the largest and strongest tiger in India and Nepal. One day,Shere Khan pushed himself too far as he decided do something that no other tiger had done before. The blue eyd white tiger attacked Haiti the old bull elephant. The attack resulted in a failure and Shere Khan ended up crippled, however, Haiti could no longer eat as the blue eyed white tiger has scratched his trunk badly. One week later,the elephant died of starvation and Shere Khan ate the elephant carcass. When a little bird saw Shere Khan,the blue eyed white tiger eating the elephant carcass, a rumor spread that this white tiger was capable of killing elephants and all animals gave him a wide breathe. Back tothe original story,Baloo knowing he needed to get his game up, he went to the further eastern part of the himmalays where he met Xiong, an old but strong tibetan blue bear. Before accepting Baloo as a student, the red bear had to make Xiong laugh. Baloo told himthat he was afraidof tigers which got the old tibetan blue bear laughing as he always considered all bears superior to tigers and told Baloo that he is a disgrace to all bears but for the reputation of the bears, he will train him. Baloo was made to do things he would not normally too like climbing the steep parts of the himmalays and even allthe way up to the golden eagle's empthy nest. Nexthe demanded Baloo hunt a baby yak and bring the carcass to him. Baloo nearly got killed by the mother yak. Forthe next few months, Xiong made Baloo go through these vigarous trainings repeatedly and how to use his body and forearms to his advantagewhen brawling with a tiger. After Baloo completed his training, he returned home - much quicker than he had left as he no longer avoided the steep areas. The truce by then was over and Shere Khan came to demand Mogwli reminding the pack they were no match for him. Baloo, however,used all the techniques Xiong had thought him and defeated Shere Khan forcing him to flee but not without some cuts. Baloo became a hero for the day and many female bears approached him as its now mating season.
The story of Baloo 2: The revenge of Shere Khan.
It has been three years since Shere Khan has been defeated by Baloo. Baloo the bear now many many females after him and is the most dominant male bear in his area thanks to the teachings of Xiong. Yet the fight is not over and Baloo has to consistently train to keep his dominance and not slack off on the trainings from Xiong. One day, the now fifteen year old Mogwli nearly got eaten by Kaa but was saved on time by Baloo the bear (any later and Mogwli would have been eaten). Kaa slittered away and vowed revenge.
As the 21 foot python slittered away, she bumped into Shere Khan who managed to wear out the snake by exhaustion after a brief fight pinned down the snake and asked the whereabouts of Mowgli and how Baloo has been training. Kaas told Shere Khan that Baloo has been slacking off. Please to hear that, Shere Khan released Kaa to go her way. Shere Khan disappeared into the dark. The next day, the dhole pack when out for a hunt and with the help of Mowgli brought down a huge water buffalo. As they were feasting on the kill, Mowgli can kidnapped by the monkeys who were working for a Gigantopithecus named King Louie. The dholes chased the monkeys but the primates climb a steep hill where the dholes could not follow. The dholes went to get help from Baloo and Baagheraa as they are the only ones that can help.
Baloo and Baagheraa climb up the hill to get to King Louie's temple. In the temple, Baloo distracted King Louie and the monkeys while Baagheraa helped Mogwli escape. Unfortunately, one of the monkeys spotted Mowgli and fight occured. Baagheraa who brought Mowgli's spear in his jaws led the boy to his spear which was outside the temple and a fight began. The three friends killed many of the primates until King Louie emerged. The extremely large King Louie at 600 kgs could take on Baagheraa, Baloo, and Mowgli together. King Louie knocked down Mowgli and attempted to recapture him but Baagheraa jumped on his back and dug his claws into the ape. King Louie threw Baagheraa picked up Baagheraa and was about to throw him down the hill but Baloo charged the giant ape and knock him off his feet before biting into King Louie's shoulder. King Louie screamed in pain and turned his attention of Baloo. The giant ape knock Baloo down and pounded him heavily. The ape attempted to throw Baloo off the hill but the black panthered jumped on this shoulder and dug in while Mowgli stab King Louie's chest with his spear. Baloo bit King Louie in the foot before pushing him off the hill into the river below.
The three friends came down only to discover Red Canine badly injured and some of the dholes dead. Essentially, the dhole pack had go into a fight with Shere Khan which resulted in a massive mascara. Before Red Canine died, he passed on the leadership of the pack to Mowgli and warned him to becareful as there as traitors within the pack. These traitors are the ones that conspired where Shere Khan as one of them wanted to take over Red Canine's position as leader for a long time. Overtime, he convinced one third of the dholes to join him and was now found the perfect opportunity to get rid of Red Canine.
Shere Khan, however, did not stop his killing spree as he killed two of Baloo's female red bears as a warning to hand over Mowgli or to have more killed. Not wanting anymore killing to happen, Mowgli decided to go alone. Baloo and Baagheraa insisted on coming as well as the dhole pack that were still alive all except for Pheona and the 1/3 of the rebellious group which mysteriously disappeared. As they approached Shere Khan's cave, the white tiger as well as rebellious dholes led by Pheona appeared. Pheona revealed that he had been secretly working with Shere Khan ever since Red Canine gave the pack the permission to adopt Mowgli as one of their family. An angry Mowgli vowed revenge for Red Canine and the other dholes which were killed by Shere Khan.
A vicious fight broke out and Baloo engaged Shere Khan and his asisstant,Tubaqui, a striped hyena . Pheona and his gang engaged Mowgli and Baagheraa as well as the dholes which were still loyal to Red Canine. Pheona and Mowgli engaged while Baagheraa and the loyal dholes were outnumbered and surrounded by Pheona's pack. Despite being outnumbered, Baagheraa and the loyal dholes where more coorporative and united the Pheona's dholes and the black panthered used his superior strength to kill the rebellious dholes with the assistance of the loyal dholes. Baloo in the meantime was overwhelmed by the combined effort of the white tiger and the striped hyena. However, Xiong showed up and killed Tubaqui allowing an injured Baloo to used the last ounce of his strength to brawl with Shere Khan. The white tiger attempted to escape again but Xiong, the tibetan blue bear block the way and easily wounded the already tired white tiger before allowing Mowgli to make the final blow with his spear as revenge for killing his family.
Xiong began to lecture Baloo that although he had grown more powerful than before, he is still a slacker as always and not ruthless enough and if he had not intervened, Mowgli's life would have been in danger. Xiong (before departing) the congratulated Mowgli on becoming the new pack leader and said that it will not be long before the pack increases again. In the meantime, King Louie emerged from the river and was helped onto the shore by his monkeys and chimpenzees etc. King Louie vowed to capture Mowgli as soon as he learns how to use the 'red flower'. In the meantime, he sent his bandilogs to spy on Mowgli.
The story of Baloo 3: The red flower.
Ten years later Mowgli is now 25 years old and has been seperated from his own kind. Although the dhole pack has grown significantly due to breeding and other new members from a neighboring dhole pack joined in after their former leader (just like Red Canine) was also killed by the now dead Shere Khan. Without the threat of Shere Khan, the jungle seems peaceful and Xiong appeared and told Baloo to travel to siberia to learn how to be an even stronger bear as he was not impressed with how Baloo handled Shere Khan. In fact, the exact place Baloo was expected to travel to was all the way to where the siberian tigers and ussuri brown bears lived. Baloo left the country with Xiong for the last five years.
Mowgli in the meantime was looking at the fire from the man village and Baagheraa told him what the animals of the jungle called the fire and the young man understood why he was wanted by King Louie. King Louie who had emerged from the river has been sending spies to watch Mowgli for the last ten years now. They wanted to observe Mowgli and learn the way to make the 'red flower'. The monkeys did not dare approach Mowgli directly anymore as not only is he more skilled in using weapons and tricks but his dhole pack and Baagheraa and other animals who consider Mowgli a hero are keeping a close eye on King Louie and his primates.
Mowgli was however lonely at times as he saw all the dholes having mates but he had to spend the day and night by himself. Unlike Baagheraa and Baloo, man mate for life just like the eagles and dholes do. The young man left the pack behind to explore the man village but promised to return after finding out who he really is. In the meantime, his best friend Bhoot, an albino dhole and his mate( 2nd in charge after Mowgli) was left in charge of the pack. Mowgli was attracted to the sight of a beautiful young woman around his age going into the man village. He bumped into her while going for a drink at the river and narrowly rescued her from the jaws of a mugger croc named Jacala. The crocoedile swore revenge.
Mowgli entered the village and was accepted after gaining their trust. He learn how to speak to the others though Shanti and eventually learned how to make fire. One night Mowgli looked into the eyes of Shanti who responded to him. Mowgli confessed his love for Shanti but the young lady was already betrothed to another man from a different village in an arrange marriage and even though she wanted to be with him, running away with him would be defying her family tradition.
Mowgli didn't know what to do and walked away in sadness. The next day Mowgli asked Shanti's parents permission for her hand in marriage but instead of accepting him considered the young man a threat to their family tradition and chased him away back to the jungle. Mowgli went back to the jungle and there he meet up with his pack who were waiting for his return. Trying to forget his sorrow, Mowgli showed his pack what the fire can do and he enjoyed hunting and cooking his food. In the meantime, the primates who had been spying on Mowgli informed King Louie that the young man has returned and now knows how to make fire.
The next day, Mowgli made the mistake of straying too far from his pack and was surrounded by the primates and King Louie himself. King Louie threaten Mowgli to either teach him how to make fire or have the now old Baagheraa's head snap off. King Louie revealed that his troop have captured Baagheraa while he was sleeping. Even though Baagheraa was a strong 150 pound male black panther, he was no match for a large troop of bandilogs and a 600 pound King Louie. Baagheraa begged Mowgli not to tell King Louie the secret. Mowgli, however, did not want Baagheraa to die and was about to inform the king of the apes and monkeys when he noticed Jacala sneaking up behind King Louie. The young man decided to distracted King Louie until the 1000 pound mugger croc grab King Louie by the hind leg and drag him into the river. The dhole pack attacked the monkeys which immediately released Baagheraa (who caught and killed a male vervet monkey for lunch). Mowgli then returned with his pack back to their territory where Baloo had returned good as new.
The story of Baloo 4: The black grizzly.
Xiong took Baloo to siberia where the black grizzlies and siberian tigers lived. Clearly Xiong had been disappointed with Baloo's performance against Shere Khan and decided to take him further north for training. They took the fastest and most dangerous rout to Siberia yet cleverly avoiding all man villages along the way. Xiong even forced Baloo to climb into the nest of the eurasian black vultures from time to time just to retrain him on his basics and as punishment for slacking off. After a few weeks of walking, they made it to the cold siberia. There they bumped into a huge siberian tiger. Xiong charged the tiger and the pantherine ran away. Essentially the siberian tigers are more docile than Shere Khan although they look bigger due to their thicker fur (Shere Khan is a huge 600 pound white nepelese tiger). Xiong berated Baloo on still being afraid of tigers and said " I am a bear and you are a bear. Why are we so different in terms of boldness?". Baloo couldn't answer. Xiong introduced Baloo to Nesti who offered to train Baloo in exchange for a wild boar meal a day. Baloo responded and said he did not know how to hunt wild boar. Nesti said exactly what Xiong lectured Baloo, " I am a bear and you are a bear so why is it I can hunt wild boar and you can't. Xiong your teacher can hunt wild boar but he is getting old and cannot look after you for life, cub". Baloo felt insulted but he knew it was true.
Xiong showed Baloo how to hunt a wild boar. Xiong approached a wild boar and bite into its nape and held on even though the wild boar put up a good fight. Eventually the wild boar got tired and Xiong ripped open the suide even allowing Baloo to taste some of the meat to wet his appretite. The next day, Nesti showed Baloo how to hunt wild boars and even usurp wild boar kills from siberian tigers. He also thought Baloo never to turn his back on tigers as that would make the striped cats consider him easy prey. Baloo had made the mistake of turning his back on Shere Khan and if Xiong had not intervened, Baloo would not be here today. For the next five years, Baloo was forced to hunt boar and bring back their carcasses to Xiong and Nesti in exchange for training (Baloo didn't know that killing wild boars was part of his training). Baloo even became confident when confronting tigers face to face. Knowing he is nowhere near as large as Nesti, Baloo knew never to turn his back on tigers even after successfully usurping them of their kills. Five years later, Xiong declared Baloo had passed the test before dying of old age. Nesti buried Xiong in a nearby river and passed on the message from Xiong to say "Hi" to Mowgli. Baloo said goodbye to Nesti and returned to Nepal where he bumped into Mowgli and his pack and the old black panther Baagheraa.
