Chapter 3 : A New World

Winston, Kate, Sora, Donald and Goofy finally arrived at Winston's den, panting from their endless run. On their way, Goofy found a part of the gummi ship and carry it with him. It was night time and Eve and Lilly were sitting outside the den, then stood up when she saw their approach.

'What's wrong?' Eve asked.

'We just ran away from a few heartless. I think we lost them.' Sora said.

'Lilly, go in the den with Kate and help her in brushing her fur.' Winston said.

'Why?' Lilly asked.

'She's going to meet someone tonight at the…' Sora said as he try to remember where she have to go.

'Moonlight Howl.' Winston said.

'Yes. But what's a Moonlight Howl?' Sora asked, puzzled.

'It's where couples or… boyfriends and girlfriends howl together.' Lilly said.

Sora then remembered how sad Kate was about this and it was her duty to marry Garth.

'And is she in love with this 'Garth'?' Sora asked.

Winston then sent Lilly and Kate immediately into the den, and spoke.

'Sora, I don't have a choice. It's the only way to settle this, and every wolf pack must follow the pack law.' Winston said.

Sora made a frown expression, then spoke.

'No laws can hold love, Winston. I fell in love with a girl too, but after knowing that she lost her heart, I felt my heart broke into pieces.'

Sora then felt his heart beating really fast, faster than he ever had before. He place his hand on his chest and it became normal immediately.

'Strange…' Sora thought.

'I'm sorry to hear that.' Winston said with a frown.

'It's ok.' Sora said.

After minutes of waiting, Kate came out beautifully with a flower placed in her fur. Sora, Donald and Goofy dropped their jaws and Lilly giggled from behind Kate.

'Aw Kate. You look so beautiful.' Eve said as she approach Kate. 'Now, if Garth gets out of line, take those beautiful teeth of yours. Go for the throat, and never let go until the body stops shaking.'

Kate's eyes widened and Sora, Donald and Goofy's body froze at such words. Kate turned to her father who was shocked by his mate's words too. He snapped out and spoke in a sad tone.

'My little girl doesn't wanna do this. She's not ready.'

'Don't worry dad. I'm ready.' Kate said with a forced smile. 'Come on Lilly.'

'Okay, okay.' Lilly said as she followed her.

'Sora, Donald, Goofy, can you-' Winston's sentence was cut-short when Sora summons his Keyblade and spoke before running towards Kate and Lilly.

'Don't worry. We'll protect her.'

On their way, Goofy found another part of the gummi ship and kept it.

'Two more to go.' Goofy said.

They then continued their journey silently. A few minutes later, they arrived at a large rock under the gibbous moon. At the higher area there sat Humphrey, Salty, Shakey and Mooch. Humphrey looked charmed as he saw Kate shook her beautiful hair under the moonlight. They then noticed Humphrey hugging Mooch as if he's in love, then screamed when he realized what he was doing. Kate and Lilly giggled, while Sora, Donald and Goofy laughed behind them. As they approach closer to their destination, Sora, Donald and Goofy noticed Humphrey flying across the sky, and landed on a tree on top of Kate and Lilly.

'So, have you seen Garth?' Lilly whispered.

'I'm not even sure what he looks like.' Kate said, then noticed a long, thin leaf dropped on her nose.

She shook it off and spoke.

'But I'm sure-' She stopped when she, Lilly, Sora, Donald and Goofy noticed a dark brown wolf standing on a higher ground with his chest held up high.

'We'll know when we see him.' Kate continued as she and Lilly stare at him in amazement.

'Hey Kate.' The brown wolf said as he began to leap down towards Kate.

Sora, Donald, Goofy and Humphrey then looked at the brown wolf, not amazed by his appearance.

'What.' They said.

Garth then approached Kate, trying to charm her with his looks.

'Uh Garth uh hehe.' Kate said, then stopped when Lilly lied on her shoulder.

'Wow.' Lilly said.

'Lilly. Stand up.' Kate whispered, then forced a smile and approach Garth.

'Garth, hello. I can see you-' Kate's sentence was stopped when Humphrey dropped down from the tree above them.

'Humphrey?!' Kate said in shock.

'Oh, my butt, my butt. Wow it really hurts.' Humphrey said, swiping his dusty tail at Garth's face and shoving dust from the ground towards Garth, causing him to cough.

'You should really do something about that cough.' Humphrey said, and place his paw beside his mouth and whisper to Kate.

'Be careful Kate. There's something going around. Tails and ears are falling off literally.'

Kate stare at him as he continue his hilarious behavior, making Sora, Donald and Goofy laughing really hard.

'Name's Humphrey.' Humphrey said as he gripped Garth's paw and give it a hard shake.

The heavy cloud of dust vanished from Garth's face and he stopped coughing, then spoke.

'Garth.'

'Gosh, you are… you are a big one, aren't cha?' Humphrey said. 'You are a… practically a Moose.'

Humphrey began to walk towards Kate, then turned towards Garth when he spoke.

'Who's the Coyote?'

'Who's the Coyote? Oh I get it, that's good cause I like-' Humphrey's sentence was cut-short when Kate spoke.

'No one important. Lilly, why don't you take little Coyote Humphrey and run along.'

Kate then noticed Lilly's stare on Garth and knocked her shoulder with her elbow. She snapped out and Kate accompanied Garth, then Lilly spoke.

'Come on Humphrey. Let's go and eat some of those… berries.'

Humphrey then followed Lilly, so as Sora, Donald and Goofy, assuming that Garth will keep Kate safe from the heartless. Humphrey then sat infront of a stream with Sora, Donald and Goofy, while Lilly was searching for berries.

'Oh he's no important. Just take little coyote Humphrey and run along.' Humphrey said in a sarcastic tone. 'Coyote.'

Humphrey then noticed Kate descending from the rock at top speed, avoiding from being spotted by Garth. Humphrey then stood up and left without Donald and Goofy noticing, except Sora.

'Where are you going?' Sora asked.

'Checking on Kate.' Humphrey said, pointing at Kate's presence near them instead of with Garth.

'Ok. I'll see you later.' Sora said, and Humphrey ran off.

A few minutes later, Sora turned towards where Kate and Humphrey stood and found them being carried by men carrying guns. He got up immediately and whispered to Donald and Goofy.

'Follow me.'

'What's wr-' Donald's bill was gripped shut by Sora, due to his loud voice.

'Shush. Kate and Humphrey's in trouble. We got to help them.' Sora said, pointing at the men carrying Kate and Humphrey on their shoulders.

'We'll knock them out?' Donald asked.

'No. They have guns. We'll die if we fight. We can only follow.' Sora said.

'Let Winston know about this?' Goofy asked.

'There's no time. Come on.' Sora said, and began to follow the strange men with Donald and Goofy behind him.

They managed to stay stealthy when following where they're taking Humphrey and Kate, and after days for non-stop transports, they were on a truck that was heading towards a forest. Sora, Donald and Goofy sat behind the truck with two large metal containers, where Humphrey and Kate were kept. The tyre of the truck bumped on a stone and the metal containers knocked against each other. Sora, Donald and Goofy then began to hear Kate's voice.

'Ow. Where am i?'

The truck then bumped on a stone again and the metal containers collide. Humphrey then began to wake up from his sleep.

'Humphrey? Is… is that you?' Kate asked as she knock the metal container that was holding her towards Humphrey's.

'Kate. Where are we?' Humphrey asked.

'I don't know.' Kate replied.

'Maybe we're dead.' Humphrey said, then regretted when the truck bumped on a stone again, causing the metal containers to collide.

'Nope. Definitely not dead.' Humphrey said. 'Well, at least they left us some water.'

'You got water?' Kate asked.

Humphrey then spat out the water that he drank and spoke.

'Nope. Definitely not water.'

Kate then began to knock towards Humphrey as hard as she can, then stopped when Humphrey knocked back.

'Kate. What-are-you-doing?' Humphrey asked.

'Trying to get out.' Kate said, then began to scream as she knock towards Humphrey again.

'Ah! Woah calm down. Listen maybe they're taking us to where there's more food.' Humphrey said.

'Or we maybe are the food.' Kate replied.

'Woah Kate. You're right. Fight. Fight, fight, fight.' Humphrey said, then the truck began to speed up and continue to struggle.

'Good morning you two.' Sora whispered.

'Sora?!' Humphrey and Kate said in shock.

'And us too.' Donald and Goofy whispered.

'What are you three doing here?' Kate asked.

'We're here to help.' Sora asked.

'Can you get this container open?' Humphrey asked.

'I can't, or else I'll make a lot of noise and they'll catch me too. Listen, once they stopped and release you, keep running forward and don't stop. We'll meet up with you two.' Sora whispered.

'Ok.' Kate agreed, followed by Humphrey.

A few minutes later, the truck stopped and Sora, Donald and Goofy leaped towards a nearby log and hid behind it. They watch as the men lifted the two containers and release Humphrey and Kate. Humphrey and Kate did what they were told, and they sped off deep into the forest.

'Woohoo! Look at them go.' One of the three men said.

'Well, our job's done. It's a beautiful day at Idaho, I must say. By the way, what was the purpose of bringing them here anyway?' One of them said.

'Why, is to repopulate.' One of them said.

Sora, Donald and Goofy's eyes widened at such words. The pack law was clearly stated that Alphas and Omegas cannot mate with each other. Now they found out that they're in Idaho, they hope that Humphrey and Kate won't find out their purpose of being here, and reach them as soon as possible…
