Ok, I am back with an update! Before I reveal the first chapter, however, I would like to thank teenchic2004, for being my first reviewer. I also want to thankher for her comments and advise on this so far. Okay, that's all for now. This update's for you, teenchic2004!

"Tell everybody I'm on my way", Koda sang out gleefully, as he jumped in and out of rain puddles, "New friends and new places to see!"

Kenai laughed and joined in singing with the little bear. "With blue skies ahead, yes I'm on my way.."

"And there's nowhere else that I'd rather be!" Koda finished, laughing as he jumped into a deep puddle and startled a frog, which hopped away.

The two bears were on their way to the Salmon Run. It would be Kenai's second time there. With Koda's help, he'd learned how to act like a bear. He'd been taught how to sharpen his claws on trees, and how to fish. He'd also learned about hibernation, and how to identify a hunter's scent from an animal's scent. Koda had also taught Kenai how to fight like a "ragin' ball of brown fur"!

The two of them laughed as they trotted on toward their destination, still singing as it started to rain harder. They were getting soaked, but that didn't stop them from having a good time.

"Tell everybody I'm on my way.." Kenai sang, ."And I'm lovin' every step I-"

All of a sudden they heard a loud roar, which echoed all throughout the forest.

"Kenai, what was that?" Koda whimpered, climbing onto his brother's back.

Kenai strained his ears, listening to the echoes. Another roar, louder and fearful sounding, came from the mountains ahead.

Kenai gasped. "It's a bear, and it's in trouble! We've got to help!" He turned to look at the brown bear cub on his back. "Hang tight Koda! It's gonna be a bumpy ride!"

Koda jumped down from the bigger bear's back. "Kenai, I'm not a baby! I can run by myself!" he said, proudly as he started running alongside his brother.

Kenai gave a laugh and shook his head. "Ok Koda, just try to keep up!" He said as they took off towards the mountains.

The white grizzly bear decided to try one last time to save herself. Even though it was raining and she could barely see, she got up on her hind legs and slashed her claws at the hunter, knocking him back a few feet onto the ground. However, he was soon back on his feet and racing toward the frightened bear, spear lowered at her chest.

'This is the end..' she thought sadly, as she closed her eyes, not wanting to see that "stick" when it was plunged into her chest. After a few minutes, she had still felt no pain. Confused, she opened one eye and gasped. The hunter was running around, thrashing about wildly, trying to knock a brown bear cub off of his back. He succeeded, and turned on the cub, spear raised and ready to strike. The white grizzly bear realized that this poor cub had only been trying to help her, and now he was in just as much trouble as she was. She owed it to him to help him.

"Don't you touch that cub!" she yelled, all her words coming out as a loud, angry roar at the hunter, as she charged toward him. But he moved out of the way and stuck out one foot in her path, tripping her. The poor bear lost her balance, and fell down onto the ground. The hunter now had both the white and brown bear, and the cub trapped. He smirked and moved in for the kill.

"No!" someone yelled, "Leave 'em alone!"

"Kenai!" the brown bear exclaimed.

The white and brown bear looked at him unsurely. "Kenai? Who's he?"

She soon found out as a brown grizzly bear ran towards them, roaring and attacked her pursuer. This bear was bigger than her, and soon proved to be an excellent fighter- even better than this hunter!

"That's my brother Kenai!" the cub said to her, "He's a good fighter. he'll save us!"

The white and brown bear smiled at the cub. "So that's Kenai...what's your name?"

"Koda." the cub said smiling.

"That's a nice name. My name is K-" she was cut off as the hunter knocked Kenai over and pounced onto her back. He wrapped his arms around her neck, choking her and knocking her off her feet. He turned her over onto her back, and held his spear over her chest, ready to finish the job.

"No..." she said sadly, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Kenai!" Koda cried, looking from his new friend to his brother, who was struggling to his feet.

"Don't worry Koda! I'm not through yet!" Kenai replied, charging toward the hunter. At that moment, the hunter turned and saw Kenai charging at him, and raising his spear, he aimed it at the big brown bear.

"Kenai, watch out!" Koda shrieked.

Kenai tried to stop running, but he was going too fast to just stop. Just then, a glowing eagle swooped from the sky and knocked the spear out of the hunter's hands.

"Sitka!" Kenai shouted, relieved that his big brother's spirit had arrived in time to save him, once more. Kenai lunged toward the hunter, knocking him off of the white bear so she could get up. He snarled at the hunter.

The frightened human grabbed for his spear only to find that Koda had run away with it! He scrambled to his feet and slowly backed away from Kenai. Kenai followed him and gave his scariest roar. It startled the hunter, and he fell off the edge of the mountain. he managed to grab a rocky ledge as he fell, and he looked up at Kenai, Koda and the white bear, rage in his eyes as he desperately held onto the ledge. But the rain made his hand slippery, so he lost his grip and fell screaming into a river..

Kenai turned to Koda and the other bear. "Let's get out of here!" The three bears nodded and carefully started to make their way down the mountain to safety..
