I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Frozen. They each belong to Square Enix and Disney. And here's the third part of Brother Bear. Now, before we begin let's reply to the reviews...
Leafeon12: I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. I hope you enjoy this one.
Guest: Sora: For this faction no. The author made it very clear ONLY DISNEY products would be involved. Try checking out the actually crossovers with those or make one of your own.
Glenn: You half correct. :D
ajjr12: Fair enough...
With that out of the way, let's continue on...
Chapter 108: The Salmon Run
After a few minutes of silence since the ambush, Koda broke the silence, "Why do they hate us, Kenai?" Kenai replied, "We're bears."
"So?" Kim asked in confusion. Kenai replied, "So, you know how they are. They're... they're killers." Koda wondered, "Wait a minute. Who's the killers?"
"Bears." He answered. Koda wondered, "What? Which bears? I'm not like that, and you're not like that. Heck, I doubt any of us is like that."
"Kid's gotta a point, Kenai." Sabine stated. Kenai admitted, "Well, obviously not all bears. I mean, you're OK, but most bears... most bears will look for any excuse to attack the human."
"Yeah... I'm pretty sure they don't attacked unless provoked... especially space bears... isn't the right, Riku." Anna turned to Riku. Riku looked away in embarrassment as Sabine turned them, "You provoked a space bear? Why would you do?"
"I... I don't want to talk about it." Riku stated. Zeb leaned to Sora, "Which chapter?"
"Chapter 38." Sora whispered. Zeb chuckled as Riku groaned. Koda pointed out, "But, Kenai, he attacked us."
"You know, you're... you're just a cub. When you're older, you'll understand." Kenai told him. Sora whispered to Kenai, "Psst, Kenai... stop being racist against bears... wait..." Sora turned to Anna, "Hey, Anna? Would it be raciest to hate bears when they're not human?"
"I'm... not sure. Maybe animalist? Bearist?" Anna shrugged. Sora turned back to Kenai, "Well... either way stop being such a bear hater. Xehanort murdered my parents... do I hate humanity because of it. No. Do I hate everyone in Xehanort's family? No. You condemn an entire race because the actions of one man or bear."
However, before Sora could move on in the conversation a bird flew past them beaming, "Fish, fish, fish, fish, fish!"
"Huh?" Everyone pauzzled. Koda beamed, "We made it! Ha ha! We're here! Come on!" Koda ran ahead of them, "What? Koda..." Tifa beamed, "Guys, I think we're at the Salmon Run Koda's been talking about."
"Alright!" As everyone followed Koda except Kenai and more birds flew in past him, "Fish, fish, fish, fish, fish!"
"Hey, what are you... Hey, get away! Ow! Go on, shoo!" He tired to shoo them of but he fell in the water. When he got out, he saw that he was surrounded by bears. They were all currently eating Salmon. Kenai couldn't help but scream, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! Aah?"
All the bears just gave him a blank look. One stated, "Hey, you're stirring up the water, dude." The second one added, "Yeah. Try not to scare off the fish there, buddy."
"Uh..." Kenai felt very awkward. Koda broke the tension, "Tug!" The second bear, now known as Tug, beamed as he saw Koda ran towards him, "Hey, Koda, come here! Look at you!"
They laughed as they greeted each other with a hug and laughed. Koda then asked, "Hey, Tug, have you see my mom yet?"
"No, as a matter of fact, I haven't seen her." Tug admitted, "Ha ha. Me and my friends beat her." As Sora and the gang joined up with Kenai. Tug turned to Kenai, "He's with you?"
"Uh, heh. Uh, hi." Kenai smiled sheepishly. Tug sniffed him as Tug stated, "Huh. I've never seen you at the run before. Come to think of it, I don't regonize any of you. Where are you from?"
"Er, uh...well, I-I mean..." Kenai tired to explain. Anna simply said, "It's a long story."
"And who are you?" Tug asked. Sora replied, "Oh, that's my sister, Anna." Tug raised an eyebrow, "Your sister's a saber tooth tiger."
"I was adopted." Sora answered. All bears then stated, "Oooooooooohhhhhh..." Tug nodded, "That explains it."
"And see, Kenai? There's the mountain, just like I promised. The lights touch the top every single night. Ha ha! It's going to be a lot harder getting up there, than it was riding those mammoths." Koda laughed as he gestured to the mountain ahead of them. All the bears question, "Mammoths?"
"Are you kidding me?" A bear stated as Tug stated, "That's kind of weird." Koda nodded, "Yeah. He does a lot of weird stuff, like the way he drinks water with a never sharpens his claws on a tree. He's never hibernated before..." Kenai covered his mouth as he was getting strange looks from the other bears, "Koda. Koda! Ha ha. Ahem. Can I talk to you for a second. Excuse us."
"Hmm. He's kind of jumpy, isn't he?" Tug asked as everyone nodded. Soda and the others joined him. Kenai turned to Koda as he let go, "OK, OK. Koda, I, uh... Uh, I got to get going with the Avengers."
"Well, when you guys come back, we can go and..." Koda started as Kenai cut him off, "I... we won't be coming back."
"What? Why not?" Koda wondered. Kenai tired to find a way to explain, "Because... Well, it's hard to explain."
"You're leaving?" Tug asked as he joined the others. Kenai gasped as he fell over and tired to explain, "Aah! No. I... I mean, yes. Uh, well, it's just that I...I... I don't belong here."
"Don't belong?" Tug and the other bears questioned before smiling, "Every bear belongs here. Ha ha! Come on, buddy. Let's have some fun."
"It's true, my friend. Despite how weird I was to them, I still was welcomed here, if only Mowgli could be here." Another bear stated. A black Panther was lying on a tree groaned, "Oh, will you let that go already?"
"As soon as you learn to smile a little, Baggy." The bear smiled. Sora wondered, "So, you two are not from around here either?"
"You better believe it. Name's Baloo. The sour face Panther is Bagheera." Baloo introduces, "And let me get you a 101 class is how to hang out here. All you got to is..."
"Look for the... bare necessities... The simple bare necessities... Forget about your worries and your strife..." Baloo sang as he saw everyone saw the beauty of this place, "I mean the... bare necessities... Of mother natures recipes... that bring the bare necessities to life..."
"Wherever I wonder... Wherever I roam... I couldnt be founder... of my big home... The bees are buzzing in the trees... To make some honey just for me... When you look under the rock and plants... Take a glance at some pantsy ants... Then maybe you, try a few..." Baloo offered. Everyone but Timon and Pumbaa were grossed up. Timon smirked as he and Pumbaa began to eat, "Don't mind if we do."
"The bare necessities of life will come to you... they'll come to you..." Baloo sang. They other bears joined in as they when fishing, swiming, water sliding, and more, "Look for the... bare necessities... the simple bare necessities... forget about your worries and your strife... We mean the... bare necessities... that's why a bear can rest at ease... with just the bare necessities of life..."
"Now when you pick a paw paw... or a prickly pear... and you prick a wrong paw... well next time... beware... don't pick the prickly pear by the paw... when you pick a pear... try to use the claw... but you?don't need to use the claw... when you pick a pear of the big paw paw...Have I given you a clue?" Baloo asked as he passed fruit to the Avengers that were currently monkeys. Ron stated, "Man, bears really know how to live."
"Uh-huh!" Rufus nodded. Baloo and the bears sang, "The bare necessities of life will come to you... They'll come to you..."
"Well, we are all due for a little break." Anna admitted. All the Avengers ran up to the water side and slide down them. Everyone even Kenai seemed like they were having a great time. Well almost everyone, Sebastian was a little disturbed about bears eating the fish. Kim stated, "Yeah... you better just hang out with everyone eating fruit until dinners over."
"What do mermpeople eat anyways?" Kairi asked. Sebastian turned her and replied, "Well, the answer is..."
"Oh man, this is really lovely..." Baloo states as he floated in the water, "So just try and relax, cool it, fall apart in my backyard... 'cause let me tell you something everyone, if you act like that bee hive... uh uh, you're working too hard. And don't spent your time, looking around for something you want... but cannot be found... When you find out you've been livin' without it and go along... not thinking about it... I'll tell you somthing true.. The bare necessities of life will come to you.. " All the bears, including Kenai and most of the Avengers, all sang along, "Look for the... bare necessities... the simple bare necessities... forget about your worries and your strife... we mean the... bare necessities... that's why a bear can rest at ease... with just the bare necessities of life."
"Yeah, with just the bare neccesities of life." Baloo finished as Sora nodded, "Yeah man!"
"So, that's what mere people eat?" Kairi asked as Sebastian nodded, "Yeah... and that's the last time I'll ever explain it."
"Wow... it's a good thing I stay long enough to hear the end of that conversation." Kairi stated as her pet kitten meowed...
Later, that evening all the bears and Avengers sat along each other for story telling. Tug told everyone, "All right, all right. Settle down, everyone, settle down. We... hey, don't throw your fish bones over there. Somebody could choke on that. Look, OK, I'll go first. OK, let's see. The most interesting thing that happened to me this year. Hmm. I'd... Oh, I know, I know, I know. Listen to this. I'd say it was when I finally knocked down that tree... that was blocking the view from my cave. Now I got a family of chipmunks staying at my place."
Everyone laughed at that until said chipmunks began to glare at Tug who then laughed sheepishly, "Ahem. Uh, yeah. All right, all right, everybody, come on, let me see some paws in the air. Who's going to be next? Come on."
Everyone one raised their paws in the air wanting to go next especially Koda. Everyone was saying, "Tug, Tug, I got one!" Tug was playing around with the half eaten fish, " Watch me, watch me. Ha. Hey, got you." He laughed as he finally passed it to an older bear who frowned, "This year, I lost my dear husband Edgar."
"QUIT TELLING EVERYONE I'M DEAD!" A voice deeper in the crowd stated which everyone could only assume was Edgar. The old bear cried, "Sometimes I can still hear his voice."
"I'm getting the next one." Koda told the others. Soon it was another bears term and started speaking in a native language no one understood. Sora turned to another clueless bear, "Do you have idea idea what he just said?"
"Not a word." He replied. Ron added, "Good cause I thought it was just me." The bear started laughing while everyone pretended to understood what he said and tired to laugh along as he passed the fish. Koda ran up to catch the fish, "This is it. I got it, I got-uhh!"
Koda had missed as another bear caught it, this one had goo-goo eyes on a female bear, "I guess it's our turn. This is the year I met the most gorgeous..."
"No, you're gorgeous." The female bear grinned. The bear flirted, "You're gorgeouser."
"See! Why can't you two be like them?!" Anna smirked. Sora stated, "Because, it's disturbing..."
"Get a cave!" Tug stated. The bear from before grumbled in his native language while the older female said, "If only Edgar was alive."
"I TOLD YOU, WOMAN! I'M OVER HERE!" Edgar exclaimed. Anna frowned, "I hope I'm won't be like that with Kristoff... er I mean Hans..." Everyone smirked at that as Herc stated sarcastically, "Sure you did."
"I love you, buttercup." The bear stated as he went to kiss his love. Koda beamed, "I got it this time!"
However, it was caught by Baloo, "Look like it's old Baloo's turn... let's see... ah well this year before Baggy and I got lost in these parts our paths crossed again when I met a young man-cub named Mowgli..."
He then told the tale of the boy as they face hypnotic pythons, singing and dancing monkeys, and a man hating tiger. Everyone was into this story, so much as some of it would have been called, "The Jungle Book." Well, they would of if they knew what a book was. Everyone laughed at Bagheera, when he gave a beautiful eulogy, when they that Baloo died to save Mowgli from Shere Kahn but was so angry when he learned he was only unconscious until the point where he started. When they finally returned Mowgli to the man village, and he went willingly because he fell inlove with a village girl, "...and that was the last time I saw him but I'll know I'll see that kid again one day."
Everyone clapped at Baloo's story as he passed along the fish only this time Sora caught it, "Uh... my turn?"
"That's right. Now, tell us what is the most interesting thing that happened to you this year." Tug asked. Sora asked, "I suppose you all want to know how I was adopted by Sabertooth tigers right?"
Everyone nodded as Sora started, "Well, I only just learned of the story myself but... my parents... my real parents were Zack and Areith Fair..." All the bears beamed at that, Sora paused, "Wait, you're saying you guys knew them too?"
"Knew them? Years ago, they were here on their honeymoon. They were traveling all over the world." Tug beamed. Sebastian muttered, "Or worlds... apparently."
"In there time here, we got close to them and they promised they'd be here with there cub one day..." Tug continued before frowning, "What happened to them?"
Sora then told the tale of Xehanort and he was his dad mortal enemy. He explained why Xehanort hated him and how his dad knew the Anna's parents. And what happened to them. Everyone gave a moment of silence... he then told them how Anna's parents found him and took him in. He told of Elsa's powers and why it was colder than usual (everyone turned to Anna when they learned she got engaged to a stranger, they told her, "Haven't you ever been told not to talk to strangers..." Anna sheepishly as Sora continued the story) he explained of Xehanort's return and his plan to destroy the world ( everyone gasped at that) and so began their journey of meet new and old friends and family to stop the eternal winter and Xehanort, once and for all and bring him to justice. Everyone began talking to themselves. Tug nodded, "This Xehanort sounds like one really evil man. You ever need help stopping him just call for us and we'll be there. You're doing your mother and father proud by doing this."
"Thanks... Alright, let's Here your story Koda." Sora then passed to him, "This has got to be it. Uhh!" But he missed as Kenai caught it hand handed it to him, "Heh. Here you go, Koda."
"You got to tell it, Kenai." Koda told him. Kenai paused, "What?" Tug nodded, "That's right, Kenai. You caught it, you tell it."
"Didn't you play this game when you were a cub?" Koda asked. Kenai looked uncertain, "Uh..." However, they all cheered him on as one bear even stated, "Come on, Keno."
"Ha ha. OK, all right, already, all right. Uh, you want to know what I did this year?" Kenai asked. Everyone replied, "Yeah!"
"I went on the longest, hardest, most exhausting journey I've ever been on, with the biggest pain in the neck I've ever met." Kenai told them as Koda frown but smiled when Kenai added with a smile, "Heh. What do you expect from a little brother?"
"Aww!" Everyone stated as he hugged Koda. Kenai then handed it over to him, "OK, buddy, your turn."
"Ha ha. Let's hear it, Koda." Tug nodded. Ezra nodded, "Yeah, you've been talk about this no stop since we got here."
"Whenever you're ready, kid." Tony added. Koda nodded, "OK, OK. Here we go." He cleared his throat as he quickly said, "This year I watched my mom in a life-and-death struggle, against all odds battling possibly, the most fiercest creature on the face of the earth. OK, who's next?"
"What?" Kenai smiled. Tug waved his paws, "Wait, wait, wait a minute. I think we all want to hear the rest of that one, Koda."
"I thought you might say that. Hmm, let's see. It was probably the fifth or sixth most coldest day, in my entire life." Koda told them to begin with, "Me and mom were eating fish, having a great time, when all of a sudden, she pushes me into the bushes, and tells me to be real quiet. She says, 'I smell something,' so I started sniffing."
Koda sniffed before smirking as he continued, "There was something in the woods, running right toward us, getting closer and closer." One of the other cubs hid behind his mother he was so scared. Kenai chuckled until Koda next part, "And then, out of the trees, jumps the hunter!"
Kenai's eyes widened as all stopped what they were doing with looks of concern. Kenai however knew this story from a different telling as he flashed back when he was still human as Koda told the story, " And now there's nowhere for mama to go. The monster has her backed up against this giant glacier!"
Human Kenai aim his spear at her after throwing rocks at her in frustration. Koda continued, "The monster attacks-pop! But mom's too quick for him. And before he can do it again, she stands up real big... and yells, 'Go away!'"
Kenai nearly fell over the edge of a glacier but he was able to hang onto a ledge. That's when his brothers Sitka and Dehani joined in to help, "Kenai!
"Then mom smells more of 'em. There's a whole pack comin' right at us!" Koda continued. Kenai warned Sitka, "Sitka, no! The bear!" Once he recovered he helped his brothers battle the bear unaware that her cub, Koda, was nearby. Koda then explained, "She runs out to stop them, before they can get to me. And all around they're poking her with sticks."
Koda then got to the part where his brother, Sitka, sacrifices him to save him and Dehani from the bear, "The whole thing broke, and they fell into the water. There was ice everywhere! She couldn't hold her breath any longer before, pow! She burst out of the water. I've never been so scared in my life."
Kenai's eyes widened in as he knew what happened after that. He remembered wanting revenge as he told Dehani, "I'm going after the bear." He eventually tracked her down, unaware she was trying to find her own son, "Koda?" He fought her to the death, he eventually got to the point where she was charging at him and he held his spear prepared as he laid the killing blow, "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
"What have I done?" He thought, "I killed Koda's mother." He was so horrorfied he didn't hear the other bears talking. Tug stated, "Whoa! Fell off a glacier? I've never see anything like that. Can you imagine?"
"Kenai? What's the matter, Kenai?" Hera asked as he backed away and ran off while everyone looked to Koda with concern. Tug even asked, "Hey, Kenai, what's wrong? Where you going?"
"Koda, so what happened next? Was she OK?" Kairi asked with concern. Koda smiled and nodded, "She got out of the water OK, but that's how we got separated. Right after that, I met Kenai." He then realized, he was currently missing, "Kenai?"
Kenai ran through the forest so filled with guilt, he didn't want to face anyone. The real monster of the story was himself... not Koda's mom. Eventually was allone to think to himself, how was he supposed to tell the others... how was he going to tell Koda. However that opportunity came sooner than he thought when Koda tired to surprise him like he did before, "Rargh! Scared you again, huh?"
"Uh-huh. Yeah." He sadly nodded. All the Avengers that where currently present walked up to him. Mulan wondered, "Where have you been?"
"You look horrible." Herc decided Now was a good of time as any, "Koda."
"My mom says when you eat too much fish, you should just lie down..." Koda started but Kenai cut him off, "Koda. There's something I... uh... y... you know that story you told us a few minutes ago?"
"Yeah." Koda nodded. Kenai replied, "Well, I... I have a story to tell you. In fact, this is all something you should hear." Koda grabbed a bunch of berries and asked egearly, "Really? What's it about?"
"Well, it's kind of about a man, and kind of about a bear. But...mostly it's about a monster, a monster who did something so bad..." Kenai then told the tale of his revenge. As he got deeper in the story everyone began to frown but none more then Koda. Kenai then stated, "Koda, I did something very wrong."
Koda back away saying, "I don't like this story." Kenai frowned as he finished, "Your mother's not coming."
"No." Koda began to cry as he began to run away, Kenai called out, "Koda!" He chased after him as everyone followed him concerned for Koda. What they didn't know as the snow continued to fall that Koda climbed up a tree and began crying to himself. Kenai called out aimlessly, "Koda! Koda! Koda! Koda, I wish I could... If there was-if there was just some way... I-I'd give anything if, I could just..."
He then looked down at his own paw print, he then used his paw to change it show it look like a man's hand print. Kenai sighed, "I'm sorry, Koda. I'm so sorry."
He then turned to leave as he headed to the mountain finally knowing what he's done wrong. Cap sighed sadly, "C'mon, everyone... let's move on."
"Wait... were not really going to leave Koda out here all alone out here." Anna asked as Thor nodded, "The boy has just learned he lost his mother, we can't..."
"I don't like it any better than you. But Tug and the other bears are new by and with any luck Cloud's on his way back with Kristoff, Sven, Rutt, and Tuke. And we need to be human again to stop Dehani from making the same bad choice Kenai made. We'll have to come back for him."
Everyone slowly followed Cap sadly as they each gave there sympathy for Koda. Pumba stopped to look back but Timon told him, "C'mon, Pumbaa..." Pumbaa nodded as he sadly followed and they left Koda alone to think for himself. The question that was going through everyone's minds, "What now?"
And that will conclude today's chapter... Poor Koda. When you first saw this movie did you see this coming or was it a complete shock to you as well? Next time, we'll conclude this world with as usual a hit of the next world. Until then, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Be sure to leave a review and if you haven't already be sure to follow and fav. See you next time!
