Sorry for the long wait. I've been VERY busy. Well, here's the new chapter. Balto is going to introduce Sora to his half-brother, Kavik. Kavik isn't in any of the Balto movies. Kavik is the property of baltoluver63. To learn more about Kavik. Please read "Newcomer. The story of Kavik the Wolfdog."in the Balto section.
At the old fishing boat
As they were waiting for Sora to buy some things, Boris, Muk and Luk were talking to Balto about Sora.
"I can't believe it." Boris kept saying, "A human can talk to us."
"Yeah, I still can't believe it either." Balto said, "But Sora is a good kid. He saved my life. No human has ever saved my life before."
"Well, if you think this Sora is a good kid." Luk said, "Muk and I think he is too."
Just then, Sora came back. He had a big backpack on him, filled with food and supplies.
"Okay, I'm ready." Sora said.
"Then, let's get going." Boris said.
They walked into the forest. For a while, everything was quiet. Muk and Luk decided to play snowball fights, as they were going. One hit Boris on the head. He then, started shouting at them. Balto shook his head.
"He's a good goose." He said to Sora, "Just don't get him too angry."
"I know what you mean." Sora said, "He's just like my friend, Donald. Sort tempered, can't understand him sometimes, but other then. He's a great guy, even though we argue sometimes."
Balto chuckled.
"Yeah, Boris and I may have our differences." He said, "But he's always there when I need him."
"He's a really good friend, isn't he?" Sora asked.
"He's not only a friend." Balto said, "But as a father as well."
"What do you mean?" Sora asked, getting confused.
"Well, when I was a pup." Balto said, "My mother and I got separated. I was very young. I couldn't hunt for myself. I thought I was going to die of starvation or being eaten. But Boris found me and took care of me since then. I don't know what I'd do without him."
Balto chuckled again.
"It's still a mystery why I don't honk instead of bark."
Boris overheard everything of what Balto said. He walked up to Balto and patted his shoulder.
"It was nothing, bird chick." Boris said.
"It was something to me." Balto said, "Thank you…for everything.
Boris smiled again. He thought he was going to cry. Sora smiled as well.
They've been walking in the forest for over an hour. Sora was amazed of the forest, he never a seen a forest this beautiful before. Muk and Luk have been quiet ever since Boris shouted at them. Every now and then, Balto had his nose up, sniffing the air.
"Do you know where this Nava is?" Sora asked.
"No I don't." Balto said, "But I believe I know someone who dose."
He lifted up his nose again. He smiled a familiar scent. It was straight from where they were going.
"This way." Balto said.
Everybody followed.
He led them to a cave. Sora was puzzled.
"Um, who exactly are we looking for?" He asked Balto.
"You'll see." Balto replied.
He walked into the cave. Sora, Boris, Muk, and Luk followed.
When they entered the mouth of cave, Sora gasped on what he saw. An enormous white wolf was vast asleep inside.
"You guys wait here." Balto said.
Balto tried to wake the wolf.
"Kavik..." He said.
The wolf didn't move.
"Kavik!"
The wolf moved a little. Then finally, it woke up.
"Balto?" the wolf said.
Balto nodded.
"Hello, Kavik." He said.
The wolf got up, stretched a little, and then looked at Balto.
"It's been a long time." said the wolf.
"Yes, it has." Balto said.
"What brings you here?" the wolf asked.
"I'll explain that later." Balto said, "But first, how are you?"
"Well, I've managed to get a full stomach, every now and then." said the wolf, "But if I was in a clan, it would be a lot easier. Despite that, I'm doing fine. Well, I see that you're doing fine. How's Jenna?"
"She's still as healthy and beautiful as ever." Balto said.
The wolf chuckled.
"And how are the pups?"
"They've grown up." Balto said, "They each have their own place to call home. Kodi is now lead-dog."
"So, Kodi's dream of being lead-dog has finally came true." said the wolf.
Balto nodded.
"And Alue is…" He was about say.
Balto stopped there. He hasn't mentioned is daughter in a long time. He misses her a lot.
"Alue is what?" asked the wolf.
Balto took a deep breath.
"Alue is leading a wolf pack, somewhere across the sea."
The wolf was shocked of surprise.
"Really? how?"
"It's a long story." Balto said.
ACH-HMM
Balto and the wolf turned around. Boris made a fake cough to get their attention.
"Oh." Balto said, "I almost forgot, Kavik, you remember Boris?"
"Of course I remember." the wolf said.
Boris walked up to the wolf.
"Hello Kavik, long time no see." He said.
"And I'm pretty sure you remember Muk and Luk." Balto said.
Muk and Luk too, went up to the wolf.
"Hello Kavik, it's been a long time since Muk and I have seen you." Luk said.
"Oh, we also have a new guest for you." Balto said, "But before I show you, try not to get freaked out when you see him. He may be a shocked at first, but he's a nice kid and won't hurt you."
"Balto, I've faced lots of vicious animals in the past." said the wolf, "I'm pretty sure I can handle whoever I'm going to meet."
Balto chuckled.
"Okay you can come and meet him, Sora." He said.
Sora walked into the cave. The wolf couldn't believe who he was seeing. Neither did Sora. They both were actually looking eye-to-eye at eachother. Just standing on four legs, the wolf was a slight taller then Sora. Both of their eyes were the same exact blue color. It was sort of like looking at eachother's reflection.
"You brought a human child to see me?" the wolf asked Balto.
Balto nodded.
"Why and how did you get him to go with you?"
"Because Balto said you might know something, so I followed him." Sora said.
The wolf's jaw dropped. It was looking at Sora like he was a ghost. Sora lowered his head.
"This is getting annoying." He said to himself.
"You can speak our language?" the wolf asked.
Sora looked at the wolf again.
"Yes I can." He said firmly, "I don't know how, but I can."
Balto walked up to the wolf and Sora.
"Kavik, this is Sora." He said, "Sora, this is my half-brother, Kavik."
"Hi." Sora said.
Kavik didn't say anything. He was still shock of surprised. Balto tuck him in the shoulder, snapping Kavik out of it.
"Oh, Hello…" Kavik said.
Sora chuckled.
"I thought you said you can handle anyone you're going to meet." Balto said.
"I am." Kavik said to his half-brother, "I'm just surprised that's all… Well anyways, you said I might know something. What is it then?"
"Well, something horrible has happened in Nome." Balto said.
"Like what?" Kalvik asked.
"Well…I believe Sora and I should explain." Balto said.
"Yeah, good idea." Sora said.
It took nearly an hour for Sora and Balto to explain and trying to get Kavik to understand on what's going on. Finally, Kavik seemed to get the idea.
"Okay, let's start from the beginning." He said, "You're from the future and you were trying to stop a human witch from changing the past, right?"
Sora nodded.
"But the human managed to get to the past and you went along to stop her. Then you went into town, looking for her. It got cold, so you went to the old mill because you thought it would be warm, and that's where you met Balto and the others, right?"
Sora nodded again.
"After getting everything straiten out, these 'heartless' creatures appeared and started attacking the town."
"Yeah, but Balto and I took care of them." Sora said, "Cecelia might've thought I didn't make it through the porthole. So she used the Heartless to take over the town."
"But I don't understand why the human would want to come back here." Kavik said.
"Before she went into the porthole, Cecelia said that she's gonna be queen." Sora said, "So she came back here to change history. But there's something she needs to do it."
"I believe Nava should know." Balto said, "That's why we came here. We thought you might have seen him."
"Well, you're right." Kalvik said, "I passed by him and Niju two days ago. They were heading somewhere east."
Kalvik shook his head chuckled.
"Now that I remembered, Nava did mention that I was gonna see you soon, Balto." He said, "He also mention that you were gonna bring someone along with you, someone that I would never expect."
Sora and Balto looked surprised at eachother.
"Do you think he knew that I was going to bring Sora?" Balto asked Kalvik.
"I'm not sure." Kalvik said, "But the way Nava said it. It sounded like he did."
"It sounds like this Nava also knew I was gonna be sent back in time." Sora said.
"We've gotta look for him." Balto said.
"I'll led you guys to where I last seen Nava." Kalvik said, "Heck, I'll go along with you."
"I don't think so, Kavik." Balto said, "It could be dangerous."
"Balto, have you forgotten that I've been taking care of myself since I was a pup?" Kalvik said.
"No." Balto said.
"That I've taken down bears twice the size of mine?" Kalvik continued.
"No." Balto repeated.
"And I've always managed to escape from danger?"
Balto grinned at his half-brother.
"Looks like you've got me." He said, "You can come along if you want. But is that okay for you, Sora?"
"It's fine with me." Sora replied.
Kavik looked at Sora.
"As for you Sora, any friend of Balto is a friend of mine." He said, giving a big smile.
Sora nodded.
AAAAAAHHHHHH!
Sora, Balto, and Kavik jumped. They turned around and saw that Boris, Muk, and Luk screamed because half a dozen Heartless are entering the cave.
"Are these the Heartless?" Kalvik asked.
"Yes." Sora and Balto said.
Sora brought out his Keyblade. Balto bared his teeth. They both were ready to attack.
"You guys stay in the cave." Balto said to Boris, Muk and Luk. "We'll handle this."
Sora, Balto, and Kavik ran out of the cave and attacked the Heartless. Sora was pounding every Heartless that came close to him. Balto was attacking the floating Heartless that blow ice. Kavik, being a large wolf that he is, pounced on the fat Heartless, trying to bring it down. But the fat Heartless pushed Kavik away by their large bellies. Kavik got up and ran around the fat Heartless, trying to think of a way to take them down.
"Their weak point is their back!" Sora shouted, as he was destroying a Heartless.
The fat Heartless heard Sora and tried to keep Kavik from going to its back. Kavik thought for moment, and then he ran strait towards the fat Heartless. The fat Heartless thought Kavik was gonna hit its belly again, so it didn't do anything.
Perfect
Kavik then jumped up, over the fat Heartless. The fat Heartless was too stunned to react. Kavik used that time to pounce the back of the fat Heartless, destroying it.
Sora saw what he did.
"That was amazing." He said.
"Yeah, thanks for telling the weak point." Kalvik said.
"Don't mention it." Sora replied.
Sora and Kavik finished off the remaining fat Heartless. After that, they were all gone.
"So those were the Heartless." Kavik said.
"Yeah, I expect we'll be seeing more." Sora said.
Balto walked up to them.
"Are you guys all right?" He asked.
"We're fine." Sora said.
"Good, well I think there's one more." Balto said, sniffing the air. "It smells far darker then the others."
Kavik sniffed the air as well. He could smell the darkness more foul then the other Heartless.
"Where's it coming from?" Sora asked.
"It's coming from deep inside the forest." Kavik said.
"All right, let's go after it." Sora said.
The three ran into the forest. Sora followed Balto and Kavik because they seemed to know exactly where the Heartless is.
"Are we getting any close?" Sora asked from behind.
"Yeah," Balto said. "The scent is getting stronger. It shouldn't be too far."
The scent led them to an area where there were no trees around. Balto, Kalvik, and Sora stop and looked around, trying to find the Heartless.
"Where could it be?" Balto said. "The scent is right here. It shouldn't be-
ROAR!
The three of them jumped. Sora, Balto, and Kavik turned around and gasped on what they saw. A dark massive bear with three heads had just roared. It had the Heartless symbol on its chest. Sora, Balto, and Kavik charged at it. Sora tried to attack it with his Keyblade. But the bear's massive claws hit him before he even touched it. Balto and Kavik tried to hold on to the bear's claws. But the two heads from each side saw what they were doing. It just threw them like balls of paper. Kavik managed to land on his feet. Balto on the other hand, hit a tree near by, really hard. He tried to get up but he couldn't. The bear then, charged at Balto.
"BALTO! HEAL!" Sora shouted, lifting up his Keyblade.
Some leaf-like stuff came out of the tip of Sora's Keyblade. The leaf-like stuff went on Balto, healing him. Balto got up and got away from the charged bear.
"Thanks." He said to Sora.
Sora nodded.
The bear roared again and was about to charge at them, until a snowball hit the bear's right head. All three heads looked to see where the snowball came from. Muk and Luk were the ones who throw the snowballs. And so did Boris.
"Yeah, that ought to teach you some manners!" He shouted.
The bear's three heads roared and started charging towards Boris, Muk, and Luk. The three screamed and tried to get away. But the bear was catching up to them. Sora only had one option.
"FIRE!" He shouted.
Flames from the tip of his Keyblade went strait towards the bear, hitting it. The bear stopped and roared in pain. Balto and Kavik stared at Sora. Sora didn't notice, a plan was going into his head.
"Of course." He said.
Sora then, told Balto and Kavik is plan. They both nodding in understanding, figuring they asked Sora what he just did later.
"Boris, Muk, Luk!" Balto shouted to get their attention.
All three showed their heads from behind a tree.
"Throw more snowballs at the Heartless when we give you the signal." Balto said.
They didn't seem to understand but they nodded.
"Hey, you Heartless jerk!" Sora shouted to the bear. "Even with three heads, you can't take us down!"
The bear once again roared and charged towards Sora.
"Now!" Balto shouted.
Without hesitation, Boris, Muk, and Luk once again threw snowballs at the bear. The bear's three heads stared at them again.
There's our chance. Sora thought.
"Go Balto!"
Balto then, charged and grabbed the bear's right paw with his fangs.
"My turn." Kavik said, charging towards the bear.
The bear was about to slash Balto. But Kavik grabbed the bear's left paw with his fangs. Both of them were holding the bear down. Sora then charged and attacked the bear with his Keyblade. After only a minuet, the three-headed Heartless bear was taken down. It collapsed to the ground. A heart came out of it. Then, it disappeared. Everybody celebrated.
"Oh yeah!" Sora said.
"We did it!" Balto said.
"We did it alright!" Kavik said excitedly.
Boris, Muk, and Luk ran to them.
"You did it!" Boris said excidlyto them.
"You were amazing!" Luk said.
Muk gave Sora a big hug.
"Muk said thank you for saving us,Sora." Luk said.
"Don't mention it, Muk." Sora said chocking. Muk was hugging him tightly.
After Muk let go of Sora,Balto said:
"That was some plan you had, Sora."
"Yeah, I would've never thought of that." Kavik said.
Sora smiled.
"But it was thanks to you guys." He said to all of them. "We made quiet a team."
Everyone nodded.
"So Sora." Balto said. "How did you manged to get fire out of your Keyblade?"
"Oh, I have different types of magic spells in my Keyblade." Sora said, "Fire, Blizared, Thunder, ect. But there's a limit to how much I use. That's why I didn't use more on the bear."
Everyone nodded in understanding.
"So uh...should we get going now?" Luk asked.
"Oh, yeah." Balto said, "Kavik, would you lead the way?"
"Of course." Kavik said to his half-brother.
And they allbegan on their new quest.
