Care Bears: Revealed

Chapter 2: A Tragic Beginning

Happy, friendly little cubs full of smiles and glee. You all know about them. At least...you THINK you know them. Wait till you hear what I have to say about them.

Wait till you know the TRUE NATURE of...The Care Bears….

The funeral for Sunshine Bear was short. Very short. Just like Sunshine Bear herself.

"And she was the greatest maniac a bear could ever have known." Friendship Bear said, tears in her eyes.

"She WAS a great leader." Love Bear agreed. "Even though she killed my pet hamster, killed my parents, and tried to kill me in my sleep." Love Bear stood silently in thought. "That was the first day we met. A very memorable day, indeed."

"Memorable?" said Share Bear in disbelief. "Hello, she killed…your…hamster? I'm sorry, I just can't see you with a hamster."

"Are you insulting my memory, or my crazy lifestyle?"

"Both, I guess. But all past events aside, she did try to kill you."

"Uh, yeah. Moving on….."

"GUYS," Friendship Bear interupted, obviously getting annoyed, "let's just honor her memory. And Love Bear, please, put your knives away. We might be evil and all, but PLEASE, show some respect at a funeral for heavens sake!"

"But…don't you feel it too?" Love bear asked, a mysterious shadow covering her gaze.

"Feel what?" Friendship Bear inquired, curious. Love Bear just shrugged, however, her expression soon turned into one of sadistic delight as she spotted a mysterious shadow hiding behind the old willow tree.

"The feeling that… someone is watching us…" Love Bear spun a knife in her hand before throwing it at the unseen figure. Said silhouette ducked and ran into the woods, and Love Bear hot on his tail. She felt stealthy like Naruto as she ran after the shadowy enemy, and threw three knives. One missed slightly to the right, and one missed slightly to the left, but finally, the last knife landed of the enemy's shirt, pinning him to a tree.

The rest of the care bears followed, nervous. What in the world was this about?

As they arrived at the scene of the pinning, they realized that this had been an assassination attempt, as the stealthy intruder's appearance was hidden by a mask. Once removed, it was revealed that the figure of the bear was incredibly…nerdy. His nose was rather huge and his eyes were covered up by big, shady glasses.

"Who are you?" Love Bear asked curiously and threateningly, her knife in the bear's shirt, but keeping one near his throat, in case he tried to do anything shifty. The unknown bear seemed very nervous as he pushed his glassed closer to his eyes awkwardly.

"I…I'm Brain Bear…" He stuttered nervously. "Who...who are…"

"Love Bear." She interrupted, glaring at him. She had wasted her valuble time to chase after a nerdy geek? Oh well, he seemed like a fun one to mess with.

"And don't get on my bad side…" She added mysteriously, "…or my knives won't miss."

"You…missed?" Brain Bear wondered out loud. "On purpose?" A grin spread over his geeky face. "Care Bears…YOU WILL FALL TO THE HANDS OF GOOD!" However, the villainous cubs didn't seem very terrified by this apparent threat.

"What a weird bear, lets get back to the set...before anything else happens."

Brain bear blinked in surprise. How dare they not listen to him? He was like, the most respectable guy EVUH.

"Hey! Did you hear me? You guys need to learn to listen to me!" Then, love bear turned, confused.

"I'm sorry, did you say something?"

As Brain Bear promptly sweat-dropped, his mouth open, Share Bear stepped forward and examined the dorky fellow Care Bear, intrigued.

"He looks rather odd."

As this was noted by the evil anthropomorphic animal, Love Bear was climbing a nearby tree when she sensed an unknown aura. With her knives and array of weapons, she froze and pointed her arsenal at Brain Bear.

"Who's with you?"

"Well, my friends are..." Suddenly, to his surprise, puffs of smoke rose from the ground. As he carefully unpinned himself, the smoke cleared, and the three bears were gone. Brain bear sighed and pulled out a cellphone from his pocket. He pressed a number and held the device to his ear. He sighed again as a click was heard.

"They got away sir. One is dead, Sunshine bear, the weapons expert and leader of the mini group." He paused and listened carefully to the voice on the other end of the line.

"Yes sir. Of course sir, I'll return to my branch immediately." He closed the phone and pulled the knife out of his shirt.

"Men! Move out!"

Many dark blue jacket wearing bears suddenly filled the clearing, the jackets having the letters C.B.U. stamped in bold red letters on the back. One handed Brain Bear another jacket, but his was different. As he put it on, the "men" split into two lines and left the forest, leaving Brain Bear to follow behind. His jacket read-

C.B.U.-BRANCH DIRECTOR.
