In this chapter, I'm introducing four more bad guys, but later on, Sora and the others are gonna do some fishing. A little about this chapter. I had this strange dream two days after I started writing this story. Sora and Balto race to see who can catch the most fish. So I thought it would be good to be in the story. Enjoy.


Underground Lair, Somewhere in Alaska

Three of Cecelia's subordinates have just watched Sora, Balto, and Kavik defeated the Heartless through a crystal ball. A female subordinate with long pink hair in a pony tail, made a whistle.

"The kid has some skills." She said. "I never expected the future Keyblade Master to be this good, especially for the Keyblade Master to be a kid."

A tall muscular subordinate with a beard and completely bald, slammed his fists on the table.

"How could this be!" He shouted. "That Heartless should've finished him off!"

"Take it easy, Bolder." said the female subordinate. "Can't you see? He too, has the power to talk and understand the animals. Just like you and me."

"Don't you dare tell me to take it easy, Asza." Bolder said. "I sent those Heartless to finish the Keyblade Master off so he won'tinterferewith our plan. Even those mutts couldn't have a chance."

"It's just like what Asza said." said a blond female subordinate. "The Keyblade Master has the power to understand the animals. You saw what he did, Bolder. He used those two mutts to hold down the Heartless. Then he destroyed it. I say he's pretty good."

Bolder glared at the female subordinate with blond hair.

"Shut up, Kie." He said.

"Hey, it's not my fault the truth hurts." Kie said.

Bolder was getting angrier by the minuet. He wanted to take out his anger by throwing a massive rock at Kie's pretty little face. Asza could see it in his eyes.

"Bolder, is that the only thing that's bothering you?" She asked.

Bolder looked at her then he took a deep breath and shook his head.

"I can't understand why Queen Cecelia sent Dmitri to retrieve the ice crystals instead of me." He said. "I can get them faster then that fool."

"Well, isn't that obvious?" Kie said. "Dmitri is a lot cuter then you."

That did it. Bolder rose up his arms, a massive rock was on top of him. He aimed it at Kie. Kie was about to attack but Asza stopped them both.

"Bolder, put the rock down." She said. "And Kie, keep your comments to yourself."

Bolder dropped the rock to the floor. Kie lowered her arms and gave Bolder a look.

"Well, some people can't act their age."

A fourth subordinate just walked in. He had short blue hair with glasses.

"Well, if it isn't Neon." Kie said. "What brings you hear?"

"I just wanted to find out who our enemy is." Neon said.

"Here, take a look." Asza said, pointing at the crystal ball.

Neon walked to the crystal ball. He saw Sora, Balto, Kavik, Boris, Muk, and Luk, walking in the woods.

"HMM he's quiet young." He said. "Why is he with those animals?"

"Apparently, they are his companions." Asza said.

Neon raised his eyebrows.

"Companions? Dose he have the power?" He asked.

All three nodded.

"Interesting…" Neon said.

"So what do you suggest?" Kie asked.

"I suggest we wait." Neon said. "See what he can find out."

"What about Queen Cecelia?" Bolder asked.

"She doesn't need to know." Neon said. "You shouldn't have sent the Heartless in the first place. Her Majesty didn't order you to"

All three gave a panic look. They just realized that they didn't get permission to send out the Heartless. Cecelia doesn't take "not following orders" very lightly. Neon made a sinister grin.

"All right, Neon." Bolder said. "We'll wait…for now."


Out in the forest

Sora, Balto, Boris, Muk, and Luk were following Kavik to where he last seen Nava and Niju. The sun was going down, behind the mountains. Sora's stomach was rumbling. He hadn't eaten since breakfast.

"Say guys." He said. "Are any of you hungry?"

"Muk and I am, mate" Luk said.

Muk nodded in agreement.

"So am I." Boris said.

"I'm starting to get hungry as well." Balto said.

"Hang in there, guys." Kavik said. "There's a stream close by,filled with fish. We're almost there."

Sora couldn't wait. He has the things he needs to cook fish. He remembered back at Destiny Island, Him and Riku would race to see who can catch the most fish, without using a fishing pole. At first, Riku would always win, leaving the loser, Sora, to cook the fish. But three days before they completed the raft, Sora finally won, leaving Riku to cook, as him and Kairito talk aboutwhat the new world is gonna be like.

"Here it is." Kavik called out.

Sora came back to reality. Him and the others walked through the bushes and saw a magnificent stream, filled with fish.

"Oh yeah." Sora said.

He put down his backpack, took off his gloves and was about to go in.

"Hey Sora." Balto said. "Want me to catch you some fish?"

"No thanks." Sora said. "I can catch my own."

"Really?" Kavik said. "We can get it faster then those long poles you humans use."

"I don't need a fishing pole." Sora said. "I can catch fish my bare hands."

Balto and Kavik looked at eachother, then laughed.

"What's so funny?" Sora asked.

"Sorry." Balto said. "It's just that we've never seen a human catch fish with their bare hands."

"Well, I can." Sora said. "Since we're on the subject, how about a race? See who can get the most fish."

Balto and Kavik looked at eachother then looked back at Sora.

"You're on." They both said.

"Then I guess I'll be making the rules." Boris said. "Everybody get in position."

Sora, Balto, and Kavik went to the spots where they want to fish at. Muk and Luk were watching.

"Here are the rules." Boris called out. "The first to catch 15 fish wins. On your mark, 1-2-3, go!"

Sora, Balto, and Kavik jumped in and started catching. Sora caught one and threw his on dry land. Balto manage to get two at a time. Kavik on the other hand, was doing quiet well, he already caught five. Sora saw his pile and was determined to get more then Kavik. He grabbed more and threw it to his pile.

That makes eight.

Balto managed to get nine. Kavik got eleven. He gave a grin when Sora was looking at him.

It isn't over yet. Sora thought.

He went in and grabbed more and more fish and threw to his pile.

That makes fourteen.

Balto managed to get fourteen as well. Even Kavik got fourteen. They only need one more to go. Sora looked desperately for one more fish. He saw one swimming by. Sora made a grab for it, but he slipped on rock and fell face down, missing the fish. Balto tried to grab it with his teeth. But the fish was too quick for him. Kavik made a grab for it as well. But he too, missed the fish. Sora, Balto, and Kavik looked eachother, then they laughed.

"I guess we can call it a draw." Balto said.

"Yeah." Sora and Kavik said.

They all got out of the water and dried themselves.

"That was quiet a show, mates." Luk said.

Muk nodded in agreement.

"It's just too bad that none of you could catch that last fish." Boris said.

"Ahh, no big deal." Sora said.

"I gotta admit Sora." Balto said. "You were pretty good, catching those fish."

"Yeah, I even thought you would catch that last fish." Kavik said.

"Thanks, you guys weren't bad yourselves." Sora said.

The sun was almost gone.

"I think we should camp out here." Balto said.

"Good idea." Sora said. "Let's grab the fish and I'll make dinner."


End of Chapter. In the next chapter, Kavik talks a little about himself. And Sora is going to see someone very important to him. Please review.
