Escape (FanFiction)

This is a Jungle Book fanfic in which Mowgli fights to save Baloo and Shere Khan from a circus.

Plot
Two Italian brothers, Tony and Lennie Frazetti, owners of a popular travelling circus travel to India to find animals for their shows, with the help of infamous big game hunter Tex Hanson. They find Baloo, who Hanson inexplicably recognizes from somewhere. Hanson tries to shoot the bear, but when Baloo has a flashback of him killing his his father, he attacks the poacher. Tony and Lennie help Hanson up, and with the help of some poachers, they manage to restrain the bear and take him back to the circus. Hanson then tells Lennie and Tony to find more animals.

Meanwhile, at the man village, Mowgli and his friends Shanti and Ranjan head out looking for Baloo. Bagheera arrives and informs them that poachers are in the jungle and have captured the bear. The children go out looking for him. Meanwhile, at the circus, we see that Tony and Lennie have also captured Shere Khan as well as Baloo. Hanson comments that the task couldn't have been accomplished without Rajiv, an orphaned youth who Hanson adopted off the streets of Bangalore many years earlier. After Tony and Lennie leave, Rajiv argues with Hanson about what he does for money, until Hanson reminds the boy that had it not been for his "kindness" he would be living on the streets. After Hanson leaves, Rajiv takes the opportunity to run away.
