Rayman Legends Adventures in Brother Bear 2/Script

Walt Disney Pictures presents
Brother Bear 2
It was a beautiful day, snow was starting to slowly melt as winter was coming to an end in a few days and it was that time of year where many animals and bears became couples. Koda laughed as he ran through a small creek with a laughing Kenai running behind her. It has been a year since Kenai was permanently changed into a bear by the Grand Spirits and had officially became Koda's brother.
Awakening in the light
Of a shiny new day
Giving thanks to the moon
For guiding my road
Kenai saw a fish and clawed it out of the water, but Koda jumped up and caught it right in his awaiting paws and then fell backwards in the creek. Kenai turned back and laughed hysterically, along with Koda as the fish kept flopping around frantically in his arms.
There is no bigger gift to the soul
Than each breath that my body can hold
Well, Grand Spirit
Hear my voice today
Then Kenai helped him onto a log and he began walking across past himself and used his arms for balance, but he turned his head and waved back at him, he grinned warmly at him.
Welcome, magic
Welcome, sweet sun ray
Then Koda incidentally lost his balance and almost fell off the log, she held onto it but then Kenai ran underneath him and tickled him under his arms. He laughed harder as he let go and then fell into his arms. He put him back onto the other side of the hill and then laughed as he began to carry him on his back.
Love is no secret
Look all around you
Welcome to this day
They were about to head away again until they both heard the shrieking of Rutt and Tuke running straight for them.
"Watch out! She's after us," Tuke shouts.
"Oh, damn it! Here she comes," Rutt said as they hid behind some bushes, but they both pulled Kenai and Koda aside.
Then they all remained silent as a very frustrated female bison landed and looked around for them, but she scoffed and flew away. Then they all came out as Rutt and Tuke sighed in relief.
"I warned you it wasn't a moose," Rutt scolded.
"Well, she looked like someone from behind," Tuke retorted.
"What's wrong with you two," Kenai asked.
They both smirked and Tuke responded, "well, it's that time of year. Spring fever."
"Spring what," he asked.
"Yes, you know like the birds and the bees and the moose," Rutt said.
"If you know what we mean by moose," Tuke added with a wink.
Kenai chuckled lightly as he walked with Koda. "Yes, well, don't look now, but your girlfriend's back," he said with a smirk.
They both see what he is speaking about and shout as the bison comes charging back. "OH, DANG IT!!"
Then Rutt and Tuke ran away while Kenai and Koda ran the other road.
Look all around you
Welcome, magic
Welcome, sweet sun ray
Kenai landed, but incidentally slipped on some snow and started sliding down the hill through the snow. Koda laughed as he held onto Kenai's neck as he slid down. They were heading right towards where all the other bears were wherever the Salmon Run was on, the river was frozen over due to winter.
Love is no secret
Look all around you
Welcome to this daayyyy!!!!
Kenai fell over the small ledge and landed on the ice, while Koda kept sliding. Vixey and Tod saw him coming and swiftly moved out of the road before Koda could collide with them and he hit a pile of snow instead.
Koda laughed as he came out of the snow and exclaimed, "awesome! Let's do it again!"
Kenai laughed and then Tug came up to him and said, "hey, Kenai."
"Hiya, Tug," he said back.
"Where are you guys in such a rush," Tug asked as Koda ran over to them.
"Crowberry Ridge," Kenai said.
"We're going for dibs. That's a lot of berries," Koda said, "want to come with us?"
Then they all heard Hoonah call out. "Woo-hoo! Tug!"
"Well, I'd love to, little Koda, but can't keep the girls waiting," Tug said with a wink at Kenai, "we're too many legless guys out on the tundra."
Kenai chuckled and said as he stood up. "That's right. We don't need another one."
Then Tug put an arm over his shoulder and said, "alright, but you can't run off of love. It has a fashion of stalking you."
Then he left and went over to Hoonah. Kenai and Koda laughed as they ran away and began their journey. They played for a few hours and Koda couldn't help stop laughing about Tug.
"Did you see the look on Tug's face? I can't keep the girls waiting," Koda mocked and then made kissing noises, which Kenai laughed at.
"Alright," Kenai said, "how about we rest?"
"Rats? We hibernated for six months. Who needs rest," Koda asked, willing to continue.
"Who needs rest? Two bears that are going to beat all the other bears in Crowberry Ridge," Kenai smirked.
Then Koda got emotional. "And we're going to have the first dibs on the berries, aren't we?"
He ruffled his fur and said, "yes, you bet. If you promise to go to sleep."
"OK, that's it," he sighed and then they both went in.
"Goodnight, Koda," Kenai said.
Meanwhile, back in the caves, our heroes and Aladar had been traveling through the cavern, wondering if they'd ever find a road out. Some were yet struck after what just happened to Bruton, but Duchess was affected the most. She was now more eager and obsessive than ever to defeat Warren T. Rat. Perdita continued to console her as Olivia walked behind her, with Judy side-by-side. Up on Baylene's head, Zini was playing a game of "I Spy" with the lemurs.
"OK, that's it. Let’s do it again. Let’s do it again. Uh, I spy with my little eye--" said Zini.
"A rock," responded Yar and Steele, in an annoyed tone. Apparently, they, along with the others, were starting to get annoyed by Zini's questions, which were happened to be the same response; a rock.
"You have it again! Ooh! You are nice," said Zini, amazed.
"Well, DUH!! It's the same response over and over again! It's driving me nuts! Now will you cut this out," said Stella, getting tired of the endless same questions.
"Will you please stop playing that game? PLEASE," asked O'Malley, trying to be polite.
"And I thought Marie's jokes were as annoying," said Mushu.
"HEY!! I can be a nice comedian," said Marie, feeling serious.
"Marie, most of the time, they're not even funny at all," said Steele.
"Well, I'll warn you what I spy; a dead end," said Eema, as they found themselves walking right towards an actual dead end. The passage appeared to be caved in by the buried rocks and stones. Everyone was fully stunned. This was NOT what they were hoping for.
"You have to be joking me," said Brittany.
"First, a meteor strike. Then raptors. Then a travel through a scorching desert. Then Warren and his Carnotaurs hunting us down. Then there's THIS!! What's next? An earthquake," said Lulu.
"Uh, let's not jinx that," said Susu.
"What have we done now," asked Yar.
"I guess we just go back," said Aladar.
"But it's all caved in back there! How can we get out through there," asked Mimi.
"There is no road back," said Lady.
"Well, we'll just have to dig ourselves out," said Judy.
"C'mon, guys," said Duchess. They started to turn around, until Zini smelled something familiar.
"Hang on a moment," said Zini. Everyone stopped and looked up high at him on Baylene's head.
"What is this, Zini," asked Tramp.
"Zini, what is that," asked Suri. Zini continued to suspiciously smell the air as Suri approached him.
"Do you guys smell that," asked Zini.
"Smell what," asked Kimba. Suri smelled the air, and she caught the wind of it.
"Yes," responded Suri. Then everyone started to smell it.
"Hey, I smell it as well," said Stella, due to the fact that dogs had grand sense of smell.
"Do I smell...GREEN," wondered Lukio.
"But wait! Green as in...trees and grass," asked Perdita.
"There must be something on the other side," said Judy.
"It must be an exit," said Tom. Zini and Suri jumped ahead over to the rocks as Aladar and Mushu ran over ahead. Mushu joined Zini as they both removed some rocks from one point of the rock wall. Both groaned as they tried to remove one rock. But as they removed it, a light shone through a hole, lighting up the cave a little. Both gasped at what they were seeing outside, including everyone else.
"Get a load of that," gasped Eema.
"Nice show," said Baylene, amazed.
"WOAH!! Guys, you have to SEE this," said Mushu, as he and Zini looked outside through the hole.
"What do you see," asked Kitty.
"No! Don't spoil the surprise for us," said Kismet, now feeling happy.
"Everybody, stand back. We're out of here," said Aladar and ran over to the rocks.
"Aladar! Please, wait! I don't think it's safe," warned Judy. But Aladar ignored her. He was so eager to get out, but he wasn't aware by the dangers of it. He began using his body to push against one large rock. And until he pushed it further, the cave started to shake roughly. Everyone cried out in despair, trying to look for shelter before the rocks fell on them.
"YIKES," yelped Mushu as he, along with Zini and Suri, dashed back towards the others.
"Aladar, watch out," shrieked Eema.
"Get away of there," shouts Jenner.
"Move away," yelled Ratigan upset. Aladar swiftly ran back as the rocks from the wall started toppling down, shaking the ground at their feet. Aladar avoided one rock as he jumped out of the road. As he turned back, the hole where the light was coming from, was sealed once again by the rocks. Then all was silent. Everyone was shocked by what just happened, and some began to weep. Olivia and Perdita shed some tears as Judy and Duchess consoled them. Susu placed her head on Mimi as feelings of hope were gone from her, including Lulu as she hung her head low. Even the cast members were shocked and stricken as well. Aladar was shocked as he became furious.
"NoooooOOOO," yelled Aladar upset as he ran back over. This yell was so loud that it echoed across the cavern. He started pushing harder against the rocks, but they wouldn't budge. Even with all his might, it was not real enough. He stopped and turned back to the others. He could clearly see that most of them were now feeling hopeless. But Aladar did not let them down at all. Turning furious and clenching his teeth, he angrily flung as he hit against the rocks, trying to push them. Seeing her best friend in frustration, Judy ran over.
"Aladar! STOP," shouts Judy as she runs over. She reached him and tried to calm down. Even if she tried to hold him, it felt like she was trying to calm down a wild horse as it bucked around.
"Aladar! You have to calm down," shrieked Judy as she tried to hold him. But Aladar continued to angrily fling as he tried to move the rocks that wouldn't budge. Leaving Judy no choice, she caught Aladar's head and took him down to the ground with all her bigger strength. She pinned him down as she continued trying to calm him. But Aladar continued to frustratedly strain.
"Let me go," yelled Aladar upset.
"Aladar! Calm down! Please, wait," said Judy, keeping her pinned. Judy knew she had been this fashion before, since she thought she failed King Stefan and Queen Leah if she swore a promise that she would protect Princess Aurora from the Mistress of All Evil, named Maleficent. As Aurora was put in an eternal sleep until she pricked her finger on a spindle, she went into a fiery rage. But thanks to Tramp's beautiful and soothing song, she was calmed. And now, it was Judy's turn to calm her best friend.
"Aladar, calm down. Ease down. Easy now...easy..." said Judy, just as Aladar started to calm down. Aladar breathed heavily as he started to calm down and just lied there, pinned down by his best friend. Now everyone was also shocked and stunned by Aladar's sudden rage. Consoling him, Judy spoke to Aladar. "Aladar, we'll go back and dig ourselves out, right?"
"Back to what? Yet there? We're not meant to survive," said Aladar, in a stern tone.
Kenai stirred awake and then his eyes snapped open as the dream concluded, he sighed as he saw it was morning. Then he heard Koda ask. "Then who's Nita?"
He sat up and asked, "wait, what?"
"Did you know you speak in your sleep? You were going to call yourself Nita," he said, "then who's Nita?"
"She's a girl I used to know," he responded, rubbing his neck.
"Whatever just happened to her," he asked. He shrugged and responded, "I don't know. I guess she grew up."
Then they both brought down their makeshift tent and began flying in the air, continuing their journey.
In a village not far apart, everyone was ready for a wedding ceremony taking place. Then all the children started running around, shouting. "There he is! The bridegroom is here!"
A seventeen-year-old Nita peeked out from her home to see her husband to be Akta, along with the many members from his village.
"He must have brought the whole village," Nita said.
"Well, my darling, this family is very despicable. That's why we came to help you be ready," Siqiniq said as she stood next to her.
"Oh, dear, it's alright. I can get ready," Nita said as she started washing her face. But just as she started drying it, Taqqiq picked up a jug of water and poured it all over her.
"Ah, let's go ahead. Now let's dry your hair," Taqqiq said. Siqiniq scoffed and started roughly drying Nita's hair with a towel. "Dry air? Absolutely not! Toweling makes it shine a lot."
"Girls, I'm fine. I think I'll be fine if I get dressed," Nita said as she just brushed her short black hair.
Both the girls squeaked in emotion and then ran over to her closet as they both said humorously. "I only have your dress!"
"Oh, I've already decided," Nita tried to warn them, but they wouldn't listen and she gagged at the sight of the two bright pink dresses. Just as they were about to charge and put them on her, she said, "hey! I believe I'm a little hungry."
They both nodded and said as they left. "I'll have salmon. I'll have tea!"
"Alright, welcome to both," Nita said as they left.
Then she sighed in relief and walked over to a different closet, inside was a dark purple wedding dress with a black cloak type of veil hanging at the back of it. She was thankful it was not made of animal skin where she put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She heard someone knock on her bedroom door as she tied her hair up and put on a necklace; the door opened to reveal her dad Chikoot. He grinned in awe at the sight of Nita in the wedding dress.
"You look beautiful in a style since your mother did so on our wedding day," he said.
"Thanks, Daddy. I wanted to wear her clothes today," she said.
She looked down mournfully as she remembered her mother. "I wish she was here," she said.
He placed a consoling arm around her as he said, "oh, she's in here. Once you love someone, they stay in your heart forever."
She grinned warmly at her father and then they both pulled each other into a warm hug. Then they both heard the drums play, but she linked her arm with Chikoot's and they both walked out heading to the ceremony. Flutes began to play and then men and women started dancing, but they all parted as Nita and Chikoot walked down the aisle. Standing at the totem poles was Atka in a ceremonial outfit; they both grinned at each other as they stood in front of each other and Chikoot stood in front of them.
Then he raised his arms and silenced the music and began, "Grand Spirits, we have come before you today to join this man and this woman as one. We pray that this pleases you."
Then Atka held out his hand and Nita was about to take it until suddenly, thunder and lightning roared in the heavens above them. They all watched as dark clouds circled the heavens and then suddenly, a lightning bolt hit the cliff face and caused a huge chunk of it to break apart and hit the ground hard. The ground cracked and began to rumble as the crack grew larger and split the earth between Nita and Atka; Chikoot was about to catch Nita as the earth split between him and her as well. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
The shaking stopped and now Nita was shaking in fear as the villagers started saying. "The Spirits are trying to warn us of something. This must be a sign!"
Later that night, Nita went up to the cave where the Shaman and Nita's friend Innoko lived to speak about what just happened that day.
"I don't understand. How could this happen? The villagers say it's a sign," Nita concluded.
"The villagers? What the hell do they know? Do you want advice from the villagers or a professional," Innoko asked.
"Oh, dear. Certainly a pro," Nita said, "they say that in all the tribes, you are the wisest shaman."
"Sha-woman. Sage and man don't even belong in the same sentence," Innoko corrected as she sat down cross-legged across Nita, "then the ice broke under you. Are you sure you haven't gained a few pounds?"
"No! My weight is constant," Nita stated with pride.
"Well, lucky you, Ms. Constant Weight," Innoko said, "say one fact. Why don't we ask the Spirits, right?"
Then she threw some sand into the small fire and then smoke appeared; Innoko stood up and concentrated as she leaned in and listened to the small voices whispering around them. Her eyes snapped open and she sighed.
"What are they saying," Nita asked.
"They say...you can't marry Kaka," Innoko said.
"Atka," Nita corrected.
"Whatever. The point is, you're already tied, Miss Two-Timer," Innoko concluded.
"Already arranged? For who," Nita asked, shaking her head in confusion.
"Whoever gave you this to," Innoko responded as she gestured to the smoke. A small flash of light beamed and then an image of the amulet that had once belonged to Kenai appeared.
"Kenai," Nita said, remembering who Innoko was speaking about.
"The bear boy," Innoko asked.
"Oh, dear, oh, dear. We were just children. I've heard that before," Nita said, "oh, there has to be a fashion to undo this."
"Undo that? You can't undo what's been done! It's done, case closed and there's no more speaking," Innoko said, crossing her arms. Then the smoke behind her gave off a loud bang behind her. "There is one road," she corrected herself.
She leaned in once again and listened to the voice of the spirits, but she sat down on the other side and said, "it's the Equinox."
Then an image of Hokani Falls formed into the smoke. "Does that place mean anything to you," Innoko asked.
"Hokani Falls? That's where Kenai gave me the amulet," Nita responded.
Innoko nodded and said, "you have to go to Hokani Falls and on the eve of the Equinox, as the spirits turn winter into spring, you must burn the amulet and send the bond back to the ancestors."
"You know, you might want to write some of this down," Nita said, getting up, "the Equinox is only three days apart. I have to go."
"Uh, with the person who gave you the amulet," Innoko said.
Nita stopped in her tracks and said, "Kenai? But he's a bear."
"Yes," Innoko said with a smirk.
"You know a bear? ROAR," Nita acted out.
"Uh, I know what a bear is, and I suggest you look in the forest," Innoko said.
"Well, if I find him, how am I going to speak to him," Nita asked.
Innoko thought for a second and then grinned as she thought of an idea; she threw some more sand into the fire and more smoke gathered. Then it formed the shape of a bear and circled around Nita, but she gasped as the smoke hit her body.
"Alright, Nita, say something," Innoko said.
"Like what," Nita asked.
Then she gasped and covered her mouth as Innoko said, "well, neither can I. Especially my own."
The next day, Kenai and Koda were traveling through the forest. Then they both stopped as Kenai said, "speaking of food....aren't these adorable?"
"I know what you mean. All this walking has made me crazy hungry," Koda said with a chuckle.
He closed his eyes and then opened them to reveal them glowing very brightly; he looked around and then grinned as he saw a medium-sized tree that had fallen up ahead. He ran over and started going through the branches. Kenai smirked and pulled her out of the road.
"Alright, step aside, boy, and let a real bear show you how the digging's done," Kenai said and then started going through the branches.
"Sure, it's easy now. I gave you a head start," Koda retorted with a smirk.
"Jackpot! All the roots you can eat, buddy," Kenai said as he started gathering roots.
"I knew I was onto something. What have I done? I have murderous instincts," Koda said with pride.
Kenai scoffed at that as he came out of the branches with roots; Koda's eyes widened until he suddenly sensed something. Then he panicked and shoved Kenai into the hole where the tree had fallen and whispered, "GET DOWN!!"
"What is this," Kenai asked, knowing that Koda wouldn't act like this unless something was wrong.
Kenai looked above the tree branch and looked around in the distance, but he suddenly saw someone with a spear walking in the distance.
"Faster! Hide in here," Kenai whispered as he shoved him inside the hole of the tree. He did so what he was warned and remained silent; Kenai suddenly changed target and remained in the hole.
Koda watched from the crack of the tree and then suddenly, a pair of brown boots stood in front of the tree; he became shocked as he saw the spear. Then he heard the human stand on top of the tree, but Koda incidentally moved a little and made a little noise. The human on top heard the noise and pointed her spear below her.
Kenai gasped and knew what he had to do. He suddenly changes target and hides behind her and shouts, "WATCH OUT!!"
He shoved the human off, making her drop her razor-sharp spear as she fell to the ground, but he ran up to her. She picked up her spear and pointed it at him, but he blasted it to pieces and then picked her up by the collar of her jacket and held her in the air as the hood fell apart, revealing Nita's frightened face.
Then his frustration turned into shock as he recognized her and then he dropped her to the ground.
"Nita," Kenai asked.
She caught the torn spear and then hit him hard on the head with the stick part.
"OW," he shouts.
Then he dodged a couple of more swings and then caught the stick, but he said, "hey, no, Nita! It's me! Kenai!"
She calmed down and then looked at him, but she grinned as she recognized him. "Kenai? Is that really you?"
"Yes. It's really me," he responded with a grin.
She dropped the stick and laughed a little in amazement. "Wow! I heard you were a bear, I just didn't realize you'd look so much like a bear."
"Yes, well, look at you. You really changed. Wait a moment, you can speak! I mean, you can understand me," he asked.
"Yes. The Spirits did so where if I found you, I could speak to you," she responded.
"You've been looking for me? How come," he asked.
She reached into her bag and pulled out the amulet and showed it to him as she responded, "this is why."
"You've kept this after all these years," Kenai asked, feeling really happy.
"The Grand Spirits warned our shaman that this amulet bonds us as one, but now you and I have to go to Hokani Falls and burn it," Nita explained.
Then his happiness changed to confusion and a slight bit of frustration as he asked, "wait, what?"
"This is no big deal. That's only a little trinket," Nita said with a weak grin.
"Little trinket," Kenai asked, now feeling a little angrier.
"We were just silly children," she said, "they won't let me get married until it's destroyed."
"Huh...let me think about this. I'm sorry, it's all sold out," Kenai said.
"What," she exclaimed in shock.
"Then have fun burning the silly little trinket on your own," he said.
"No, you don't understand! We have to burn it together, or otherwise, it won't work," Nita said.
Then Koda came out and asked, "what won't work?"
"Uh...Nita, this is my brother, Koda. Koda, Nita. Nita, Koda," Kenai swiftly introduced.
"Then you're Nita. Kenai was just dreaming about you," Koda said with a grin.
Kenai's eyes widened and he blushed with embarrassment, but Nita chuckled a little. "I was not," Kenai said with gritted teeth.
"Was as well," Koda retorted. Then he mimicked him. "Nita! Nita!"
He covered his mouth and then caught his paw and started walking off. "Well, it's been nice speaking to you, but Koda and I have big plans to go to Crowberry Ridge."
"But wait! You're just gonna walk off? You know, neither of us can get ahead with our lives until we burn this amulet," Nita said.
"I'll take my chances," Kenai said.
He was silent at first, but then he tried one last time. "Well, fine! I guess I'll just wait for them to turn you back into a human and send you to hell."
Koda's eyes widened in fear. He stopped walking and faced Kenai as he asked with concern. "W-Would they do that?"
"No! No, buddy, of course not," Kenai reassured him.
"Well, how do you know," Nita asked.
"What if they did turn you back into a man? Then we wouldn't be brothers anymore. I don't want to lose you," Koda said, really starting to get afraid.
Kenai turned back and forth between Nita and Koda and then sighed, "alright. We'll go to Hokani Falls."
Then he grinned at Koda and said, "but right after that, buddy, just the two of us, we'll race down to Crowberry Ridge."
"Pinkie swear," Koda asked, holding out his pinkie. Kenai chuckled and shook his pinkie with his own. "Pinkie swear."
"Ready," Nita asked. Kenai moaned and started walking the other road. "As I'll ever be."
"Um...Hokani Falls is the other road," Koda corrected. Kenai turned around and said with annoyance. "I knew that."
Koda and Nita both laughed and then Koda said as they began to follow him. "No, he didn't. Kenai has a lousy sense of direction."
"That is not true," Kenai called back.
"One time, in the middle of the night..." Koda began to warn Nita.
By the afternoon, Kenai frowned with annoyance as Koda kept warning Nita some embarrassing stories about him; he trailed behind them just listening on and looking away with embarrassment.
"Of course if he met, he didn't know the first fact about being a bear," Koda continued, "like this one time, we were hunting for pine nuts and he stuck his big head inside a hollow tree. And I said, you better not do that because you don't know who lives there. But he did so, because you can't warn Kenai nothing. The last fact you know, he spent an entire week smelling like a stinky skunk."
Nita snickered at that and said, "something warns me stinky skunk was an improvement."
Kenai growled silently, getting more annoyed as Koda continued to speak to Nita. Kenai stopped as he saw Rutt and Tuke run off a nearby river where two female moosettes named Anda and Kata were having a drink of water.
"Yes, we'll catch you later," Rutt called out.
"Yes, we must go work out," Tuke added.
Then they both saw Kenai and said, "hey, look, it's big bear. Beauty, right?"
"Oh, hey, guys," Kenai said.
"Boy, are we glad to see you," Rutt said.
"Yes, because we eventually found a couple of moosettes right down there by the stream," Tuke said.
They both turned and waved to them. "Farewell!"
Kata said as she swallowed some water. "These guys are weird."
"Don't look, darling. You'll only encourage them," Anda said as they went right back to drinking some water and chatting to each other.
"But they won't give us the time of day, right? We was thinking perhaps you could help us with an opening line, 'hey, I see you like to eat twigs,'" Rutt said.
"Or how about a sonnet, right? Shall I compare thee to a summer's dew," Tuke suggested, which Kenai rolled his eyes at.
"Forget that brainy stuff! They're not owls," Tuke scoffed.
"Excuse me," they all heard Nita call out. Rutt and Tuke both started panicking as they saw her walking back with Koda.
They both scattered and hid behind Kenai, shrieking. "Hunter! Every moose for himself!"
"It's alright. This is Nita, she's with me and Kenai," Koda said.
They both sighed in relief and came out of hiding. Then Rutt began introductions. "How's it going, right? I'm Rutt, and this is my brother......"
Nita cut them off and said, "Kenai, what's the holdup? We have to set up camp on that far peak before sundown. Oh, nice to meet you."
"Eerie, isn't she," Kenai asked them in a whisper with a smirk.
"Let's go! We're running out of daylight," Nita said. Kenai walked in front of her and said, "Nita, calm down. We've had plenty of time."
"A smart traveler always allows for unexpected delays," Nita said.
"Well, this won't be a delay if you let me have a moment to give these guys a little romantic advice," Kenai said.
Nita was silent, but then she and Koda started laughing hysterically as Nita said, "romantic advice? From you?"
Koda laughed even harder after hearing that. "Stop joking around. Let's go," Nita said.
Kenai smirked and decided he was going to prove Nita wrong. "You know, boys, I think this calls for more than just a nice opening line."
"It does so," Ruke asked.
"Acts of bravery. That's what really impresses the ladies," Kenai said.
"Sheesh, bravery sounds eerie," Rutt said.
"No, you just have to pretend to be brave. Neither do I. I'll go out there, I'll act all ferocious and then you guys come over the beaver dam and rescue them," Kenai continued.
"Oh, alright," they both said and then followed Kenai down to the river to put his plan into action.
"Kenai, we don't have time for this," Nita said. Koda chuckled and shook his head. "It's no use. This falls under, you can't warn Kenai nothing."
Anda and Kata continued to drink some water, but suddenly, a loud pissed off voice split through the air. "ROOAAAARR!!!"
They looked up and saw Kenai up on a rock, roaring fiercely. "RAAAAWR!!!!"
"What's wrong with him," Kata asked.
"Perhaps he got ahold of some bad salmon," Anda suggested.
Koda and Nita sat down on a log and just watched; Kenai continued to roar ferociously while Rutt and Tuke hid behind the beaver dam, waiting for their cue.
"I'M A BIG HUNGRY BEAR! AND I'M GONNA TEAR YOU TO SHREDS!! ROAARRRR," Kenai shouts. Anda and Kata just looked at each other with confusion. Kenai noticed that Rutt and Tuke didn't come out and then he repeated with more emphasis. "I SAID I'M GONNA TEAR YOU TO SHREDS!!!"
"Hey, I think that's our cue," Tuke whispered and then they both came out and started acting bravely, "fear not, moosettes! I, Tuke, and my brother Rutt will save you!"
Anda and Kata looked at each other and rolled their eyes, knowing that this was all an act. "You gonna have to go through us if you want them, you'll have to murder us first place," Rutt said.
"Wait, what? No, no, don't hurt me, but just push us down for some reason," Rutt corrected.
Kenai ran up to them on the beaver dam and let out a loud, anguished shriek into the air. But instead of acting brave, Rutt and Tuke became shocked and jumped into the water. Kenai watched them in confusion and saw them now floating down the river, waving a farewell to Anda and Kata. Nita moaned in annoyance while Koda laughed hysterically.
"Hey, wait, guys! Where you going? Don't leave," Kenai called out as he walked in the river.
The girls growled at him and he chuckled hesitantly at them, but they both kept pecking him on the head and then they both shoved his half body inside the beaver dam. Nita and Koda, at first, were silent, but then they both threw their heads back and laughed hysterically as Anda and Kata walked away.
Nita and Koda walked over near the beaver dam and Nita said with a smirk. "Hey, Kenai! I thought you were supposed to be frightening moose."
"Do you think you can help me out here," Kenai asked as he tries pushing himself out with his legs.
"Do all his plans end with his head stuck in something," Nita asked.
"Most of them," Koda chuckled.
"Koda," Kenai shouts.
"Well, they do so," Koda retorted.
"Calm down, Kenai, we'll try to get you out of here," Nita said.
She picked up a stick and was about to climb onto the dam as she saw the water; she became a little hesitant, but then she slowly, along with Koda, climbed onto the dam and stood above where Kenai was stuck, but she rammed the stick where the hole was.
"OW," Kenai said as he felt the stick poking onto his back.
Nita started pushing, but there was no budge. "I wish would be easier if he didn't have such a fat head," Koda said.
Nita tried again, but this time Kenai tried pushing again; Nita suddenly slipped and fell on top of Kenai's back while Koda incidentally fell inside the beaver dam, along with Kenai through a hole. The bag fell off Nita's shoulder and landed in the water.
"Oh, dear! The amulet's in my bag," Nita panicked.
Kenai looked through a hole in the wall and saw the bag. "It's floating right in front of you, just catch it."
Nita was about to reach out and catch it until suddenly, she had a flashback from since she almost drowned if she was a girl and pulled her hand back, feeling afraid. "I-I can't. You get it," she said.
"I'm a little busy here," Kenai called out and kept pushing harder.
Suddenly as Kenai pushed one last time, the whole dam fell apart, but the water flowed over and pushed the bag downstream and into the stronger currents. "Oh, dear! The amulet," Nita gasped.
They all ran after the bag on land, but it was no use and it fell over the small waterfall. "I guess this would qualify as one of these unexpected delays," Koda said as they looked around for it.
Then Kenai grinned and pointed out. "There it is."
Nita sighed in relief as the bag washed up onto the shore, but then suddenly from a log, a raccoon came out and saw the bag. Then he laughed and smirked as he saw it and started rummaging through it.
"HEY, WAIT!! THAT'S MY STUFF," Nita shouts.
The raccoon didn't listen and kept rummaging through the bag, but he smirked as he pulled out the amulet and nodded in satisfaction. "No! You leave this alone! It's mine," Nita demanded.
The raccoon shrugged and laughed as he ran away with it; they all ran down to where her bag was, but there was no sign of the raccoon anywhere. She growls and turns to Kenai and shouts. "Thanks a lot, Kenai! This is all your fault!"
"My fault," Kenai asked.
"If you hadn't stopped to help these moose, neither of you," Nita shouts.
"Woah, woah! You're the one who destroyed a whole beaver dam," Kenai retorted.
"I wouldn't have destroyed it if you hadn't had your head stuck in it," Nita retorted back.
"And I'm not the one who had the bag in reach and then let it float off," Kenai snapped, "my head was stuck, what's your excuse?!"
Nita was silent, but then she growled and walked off from them. Kenai sighed, but they both heard Nita as she sat down on a rock. "What am I gonna do now? If I can't burn the amulet, I'll never be able to see each other again!"
Kenai remained silent and just looked down in regret, part of what just happened was his fault and as they slept that evening; he awakened, unable to fall asleep. He looked at Nita's sleeping body and then got up and decided to set facts right.
The sun rose over the hills; Nita awakened and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. Then she looked around and discovered that she was alone; there was no sign or Koda or Kenai anywhere.
"Kenai," Nita called out.
Suddenly, Koda came out of the bushes and started speaking faster. "Nita, you must come fast! You're not gonna believe this! Kenai spent the entire night untangling these tracks! And I didn't think anybody could because they were all-forks, double-backs and crisscrosses and dead ends..."
"Koda. Where is Kenai," Nita asked, cutting her off.
"That's what I'm trying to warn you. He found the river bandit's hideout," Koda concluded. Nita grinned and said, "show me."
In the middle of the forest, Kenai stayed behind a tree and looked up at the hole in the tree. He knew that raccoons were nocturnal where he waited for them to fall asleep. Then he heard footsteps behind him and turned to see Koda and Nita coming towards him.
"Well, where is this? Did you get that," Nita asked louder. Kenai silenced her and said in a whisper. "I don't have it yet. It's up in the tree. I'm waiting for them to fall asleep."
"Oh, so do I," Nita said. "So do I! So do I," Koda responded as he pointed to some of the branches at the top, "I like pink, and I like being gray. But I don't like the look of that gray cloud."
Then Nita moaned and ran over to the tree; she started climbing it. Kenai shook his head in disbelief and stood at the bottom of it and asked, "Nita! What are you doing here?"
"I'm getting my amulet back," she said.
"Let me handle this. You could fall," Kenai said. Nita just silenced him and said, "I'm trying to concentrate."
Then she continued to climb, but then she slipped on a branch and fell down, landing on two branches. Kenai and Koda flinched, but then gasped as they heard the raccoon who stole the amulet named Bering awakened. "Alright, blockheads! Pay attention over here," he shouts, "now, you pay attention to what this bear has to say to you or I'll come in there and tear you to shreds!"
His head bursts out and he shouts, "can't any of you morons define the term "nocturnal"? Anyone!"
Then Kenai decided to distract them while Nita climbed to get the amulet. "I'm sorry," he started, "it's totally my fault! Just me!"
"Uh, listen, you found something of ours," he concluded, which made Bering look down at them and narrow his eyes at him. "It's round, about so big," Kenai continued hesitantly.
Bering simply smirked and said, "perhaps I do, perhaps I don't. That's for me to know and for you to find out. Either fashion, finders keepers, losers weepers. It's the road of the woods."
"Hey, you didn't find it! You stole it! Stop, thief," Koda shouts at him, knowing he is lying.
"Alright, you've had me! That's what we do so," Bering admitted and then as he continued to speak, more raccoons came out of the tree and sat on the branches, "we rob from the rich and give to the less fortunate. You know, like us!"
The three trees were entirely occupied by Bering's band of raccoons; they all chuckled at Kenai and Koda, fully unaware that Nita was yet climbing behind them.
Koda smirked as he thought of an idea and said, "I don't think you wanna mess with Kenai. He's a lean, mean, raccoon butt-kicking machine!"
Kenai looked up back at them and chuckled hesitantly and then, without warning, they started throwing pine cones at him; he winced and ducked down as the raccoons rapidly fired the pine cones.
"Go ahead! He can take it," Koda kept pushing.
Kenai put up a shield around them and asked in a whisper. "Koda! What are you doing here?"
"I'm tricking them into using all their pine cones," Koda responded. Then Kenai pointed out. "It's a pine forest!"
"OW," he cried as he incidentally dropped his shield for a moment and then put it back up. Koda's eyes widened at his mistake and said, "that's right. This could take a while."
"Woah! Hey! What about a trade," Kenai shouts at Bering.
"Woah, hold your fire! Hold it," Bering commanded and then they all stopped firing. "He wants to trade," he said with interest.
"Ooh, a trade," they all repeated. "Whatcha got here," Bering asked.
"I have lots of stuff.....I've had pine cones," Kenai asked hopefully.
As Bering and Kenai continued to speak, Nita reached a hole in the tree and saw the string of the amulet inside, but she reached in and caught it. But as she pulled it out, holding onto the pendant part was a baby raccoon.
"C'mon, let go," Nita whispered and then she flicked him back in the hole and sighed in relief as she put the amulet around her neck.
Then she gasped at the sight of the baby raccoon's mournful face, but awed, but then the baby cried out in despair. "MAMA!!"
All the raccoons turned to face her and boy, were they mad. Nita chuckled hesitantly and said, "hi."
"Nita, I think it's time to go," Kenai shouts.
Nita shrieked as she dropped out of the tree; she caught hold of a branch, but it broke and she landed on two branches. She stood up, holding the broken branch in her hands and watched as the raccoons started coming at her. She turned and jumped to another tree and the raccoons followed her, but she jumped to another one, but the tree began to fall and she shrieked and she fell backwards. But before she could muster, she jumped onto another huge tree branch, but she turned and began to run until stopping as she saw more raccoons coming after her. She started using her stick and swatting them off the branch, even though she completely didn't like the idea of hurting animals.
"Nita! Behind you," Kenai called out.
She turned and saw more raccoons behind her, but all the raccoons jumped on her and they all began to fall; just as she was about to hit the ground, her stick got stuck between two light branches and swung her away as if she was a rock on a slingshot.
"Woah! She's not bad," Koda said, impressed.
Nita landed on another tree; she thought it was over, but then she looked down and saw the raccoons starting to climb up the tree below her. Then Kenai thought of something and said to Koda. "I have an idea. C'mon!"
They both ran over there and Kenai called out to Nita. "Nita, go to the top!"
"Wait, what? I'm trying to get down," Nita called back. "Just listen to me," Kenai said, "I know what I'm doing here!"
"Hello?! I want what you took from me," Bering said frustratedly as he got in front of the other raccoons. Then he laughed as Nita started climbing up. "Yes! Keep going," Kenai called out.
Nita continued to climb as he ran over to another spot; she continued to climb and then the weight of her and the raccoons started pushing the tree down sideways; she caught hold of the end of the branch and hung there tightly.
"Nowhere to run, baby, nowhere to hide," Bering said with a smirk.
Kenai climbed up the nearest tree near them and then called out, "Nita, let go!"
"With what?! This is your plan," Nita asked in disbelief. "Just trust me," Kenai said.
Nita thought about it and saw Bering coming closer and closer to her. Then she shook her head and said, "Kenai, this better work!"
She let go of the branch and the raccoons were flung away. She shrieked as she fell, but Kenai reached out his paw and caught her, but she dragged her down with him; she was on top of him as they fell and as they hit the ground, Kenai was flipped onto his stomach and Nita was on his back and they started sliding down the snow; they both yelled as they jumped off a small hill and landed softly into a pile of snow.
Kenai and Nita climbed out of the snow and then looked up at where they slid down; they both looked at each other and they both began to laugh hysterically.
"That was a lot of raccoons," Kenai said through his laughter.
"I can't believe I outran all of them," Nita said. "If you jumped out of that tree..." Kenai continued.
"Oh! And the fashion you caught me..." Nita continued and then they both concluded, "you were amazing!"
"I'm just glad we eventually had the old Nita back," Kenai asked. Nita's grin dropped a little as she asked, "what do you mean the old Nita?"
"The fun Nita! C'mon, you know you've been kind of a stick in the mud this whole trip," Kenai said with a smirk.
Nita was silent and she furrowed her eyebrows at him, but before he could say anything, Koda ran down with a look of disgust on his face.
"Ew! What stinks," Koda asked. Then he smelled around and covered his nose. "Ugh! That's the most disgusting fact I've ever smelled!"
Then Kenai smelled the same scent and flinched in disgust, but he pointed to the right and said, "let's go check it out."
Nita sighed in frustration, but then followed them; all three of them followed the scent to the source. It was Rutt and Tuke, and they were rolling around in some sort of foul-smelling mud. They all walked up to them and continued to wince in disgust.
"Uh, what are you two doing here," Koda asked.
"Oh, hey, largish bear. We're yet getting the paintbrush from these moosettes," Tuke said.
"Yes, they seem immune to our rugged best looks, then we thought we'd appeal to their toy factory senses," Rutt concluded as he covered himself more with the stuff.
"You wasp for example, I'm wearing essence of wet leaf compost with just a hint of sandalwood," Tuke said as he covered himself with the muddy leaves, making them disgusted even more.
"And I'm augmenting my natural moosely mask with a blend of river needles and river mud," Rutt said as he slid in the mud.
"I've had news for you, little brother. That wasn't mud," Tuke said.
"That's Grandma's cake," Nita said, really disgusted.
"Guys, don't sweat it. I've had another plan," Kenai said.
"Oh, yes, I think we've all seen your expertise on romance," Nita said sarcastically.
Koda began to laugh hysterically, earning him a look of annoyance on Kenai, who just shook his head and said, "don't we have an amulet to burn?"
"Oh, we can spare a moment," Nita said. Rutt and Tuke nodded as she continued, "what you need here is a woman's point-of-view and a plan that actually works."
She took some mud off Tuke and then flung it off; it hit Kenai's face and he wiped it away, really annoyed. A few moments later, Koda ran down to Anda and Kata and hid behind them as he said, "hi, I'm playing with my two best friends, and I need a place to hide."
They both grinned at him and began aweing. "Aw, look at the sweet little fact. Yeesh, I could just eat him up."
"Go, get moving," Nita whispered to Tuke and Rutt as they all hid behind some trees.
While Tuke walked down with lots of confidence, Rutt is afraid to go down there and had to be nudged by Nita. They both walked up to Anda and Kata and Tuke said, "oh, excuse us, ladies. We were looking for our pal."
"Uh, brownish," Anda said.
"Why, yes," Tuke said.
"Furry," Kata asked.
"Yes, again," Tuke said.
"About this big," Anda asked, gesturing to a specific height. Tuke grinned and said, "that's him."
"Haven't seen him," Kata lied. Koda chuckled and came out and exclaimed, "here I am! I fooled you, I win."
"There's no beating you, little buddy," Tuke said and then began to tickle him. Anda and Kata awed at the sight.
"Look at that. You're so nice of him," Kata said.
"Oh, yes, we have lots of little boy animal friends. We know a little weasel and a little badger, and we've even had some little baby bunny friends."
Rutt continued to be silent and shy. Tuke noticed this and frowned a little, but then grinned again and said, "well, would you ladies be interested in grazing on some twigs?"
"Oh, dear, thanks. We just ate..." Anda began to say as Kata elbowed her and then corrected, "we love twigs."
"Oh, really? Well, so do we. Right, little brother," Tuke asked.
Rutt couldn't take it anymore and then just exploded. "Shall I compare thee to a summer's dew? Though it art more lovely and more dewy than you."
Tuke facepalmed himself while Kenai and Nita flinched at the scene. Then Anda asked as she and Kata began walking with Tuke. "What's wrong with him?"
"Don't mind my little brother. He was trampled by an elk herd since he was a calf," Tuke lied. Rutt looked down mournfully and said, "that's not true. It was only half a herd."
Then he followed them. Koda smirked and said as he turned around to leave. "Smooth."
"Um...remind me again, who's the better moose matchmaker," Nita asked Kenai with a smirk.
"Beginner's luck," Kenai retorted as all three of them continued on their road to Hokani Falls.
Kenai, Koda and Nita continued to walk along the path near a lake of water. Koda chuckled as he walked across the rocks near the water.
"Koda, be careful," Nita said with caution.
"Relax, Nita. He's fine, he's just looking for lunch," Kenai said.
"Yes. Besides, I'm always careful," Nita said.
He spoke too soon until he incidentally slipped on a rock and fell into the water. Kenai laughed a little and helped her out of the water as he chuckled a little, but he washed the water off his perspective.
Then Kenai looked ahead and said, "oh, hey, we're making big time. Look, you see, we just go down this trail until we hit the river."
Nita froze like a statue as he continued, "and then we swim across."
Koda laughed and said, "I love it."
Then Kenai concluded, looking at Nita. "Then it's just a little roads to Hokani Falls. We'll be there by lunchtime tomorrow."
Nita grinned weakly and suggested, "well, that's a nice plan. But how about this? We go up this ridge to that mountain, climb up these cliffs, walk across that snow bridge and avoid the river altogether."
Kenai and Koda gave her strange looks and looked between the two paths. "That makes more sense to me," Nita said with a proud grin.
"That doesn't make any sense. That's one out of the road and there's too much up and not enough down," Koda said.
"I vote for the river," Kenai said, raising his paw with a smirk. Then Koda raised his and said, "me as well. Two-to-one. We win!"
Then Koda went back to the water to get some fish. Nita was shocked to see the Inuit tribe, but she was determined to have facts done her fashion where she crossed her arms and pointed out, "well, it's my amulet."
"Therefore," Kenai scoffed.
"And my wedding," Nita tried again.
"Then have your honeymoon up there," Kenai said sarcastically, "because if we go that fashion now, we'll have to walk all night to make it to the falls in time."
Nita shrugged and said, "well, fine! Then I'll meet you there."
Kenai shook his head and asked, "Nita, what's wrong with you?"
But before Nita could respond, Koda caught a fish and threw it in the air; it landed on Nita as she shrieked and walked backwards and then fell into the water. She emerged and panicked and swiftly walked out of the water and sat past the wall, looking at the water with fear and shivering heavily.
"What's the matter with you," Koda asked, "you act like you're afraid of fish."
Nita didn't say anything as she held her legs to her chest. Then Kenai and Koda began to laugh as Koda teased, "I can't believe it!"
Then he picked up the fish and held it at Nita and started mocking him in a joking fashion. "Hi, my name is Nita, and I'm afraid of fish."
As Koda continued to tease her, Kenai stopped laughing as he saw Nita was getting upset. He cleared his throat and said, "Koda, c'mon."
But Koda didn't hear him as he continued, "the fish is so eerie! Oh, dear, he's gonna hurt me!"
"Koda, stop," Kenai tried again, but Koda didn't stop and this time he snapped, "I said stop!"
Koda stopped and dropped the fish; he looked at him in shock. He had never called him that before, but he sighed and sat down next to Nita and said, "we were just bossing around about the fish."
"No, it's not the fish," Nita admitted. Then she sighed and said, "it's the water."
"Ever since that day I fell through the ice since we were children..." she concluded.
"Oh. I didn't realize," Kenai said.
Nita nodded and said, "that's why I didn't catch the bag in the river. It wasn't your fault we lost the amulet, it was mine."
Kenai gave her a small grin and said as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "Hey, we've had it back together. That's all it matters, right?"
She returned the grin and nodded at him. Koda frowned that he had in danger for her joke and whacked the fish apart from her. Then Kenai and Nita stood up as he asked, "ready to keep going?"
"But...I'll never be able to cross that river," Nita said.
"We can do that together as well," Kenai said. Nita grinned warmly at him as they continued their journey to Hokani Falls.
"Wowee," Sylvester said, "looks like our friend Foghorn Leghorn was done for."
They crossed through a grassy field. Nita pushed back some grass, but then jumped as a flock of birds flew out, but she laughed and looked embarrassed. Kenai laughed as they kept going, but forgot to hold the grass back for Koda, who looked at them both with a frown. He was starting to feel a bit ticked off at the group and felt that Nita was taking her big brother apart from him.
Nanny: We met, it seems
Such a short time ago
You looked at me
Needing me so
Yet from your disgrace
Our happiness grew
Then they all came to a fallen tree acting as a bridge and just as Koda was about to go first; Kenai stopped him and he watched in shock as he allowed Nita to go first.
And I found out I needed you so
I remember how we used to live in the doghouse, just like Widow Tweed
Koda shook his head and just flew right through Nita's retrospective. Nita shivered for a second and turned back to Kenai, who shrugged, but he came across and they both laughed about that it was the first time a bear had gone through her perspective, while Koda just frowned.
I recall these rainy days
The fire's glow
That kept us warm
And now I find
We're both alone
A bit later, they were riding mammoths. Nita sat in front of Kenai while Koda sat behind Kenai. He turned back to him and gave him a grin which he returned; suddenly, the mammoth they were riding jumped back a bit after hitting some steam from a small geyser; they all held on tightly as the mammoth landed back down and continued on. Then Kenai and Nita both laughed at what just happened, not realizing that Koda was holding now, floating behind them after almost falling to the ground.
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there...you'll always be
Nita continued to run, but then stopped as she came to the edge of the river. She froze in her tracks and looked at it fearfully. Kenai caught up to her and noticed her fear; he looked at her with sympathy and said, "it's the only fashion."
Nita knew that it was the only fashion, but was yet afraid. Kenai just grinned at her and said, "let me help you."
She looked at him and then grinned and nodded. He held out his hand to her and she took it, but he started slowly leading her into the water. She tried to walk back, but he didn't let her go as she said, "I changed my mind."
"No, it's no use for that," he said as they were now ankle deep in water, "whatever happens, don't let go."
"Alright," she said hesitantly.
They walked into the water and continued to go deeper and deeper, but he signaled for her to take a deep breath as they went under. Nita took a deep breath and closed her eyes as she felt them going under the water.
Chorus: Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always beeeee!
She let go of Kenai's paw and swam up to the surface, but she and Kenai climbed out of the river and they both laughed at Nita's achievement.
"I did it! I did it," Nita cheered. Then she grinned warmly at Kenai and hugged him. "Thank you, Kenai."
He grinned at her hug and hugged her back; they both let go and continued walking along while Koda was on the other side of the river watching them. He sighed mournfully and looked down, feeling like he was losing his big brother the more time he spent with Nita.
Koda sat down, looking mournfully at the ground; Rutt was running side-by-side and then saw him. He slowed down and sat down next to him, also looking down in the dumps.
"Hey, smallish bear," Rutt said, "where's big bear?"
"With Nita," Koda responded mournfully, "he never has time for me anymore. He's too busy helping her."
"Sheesh! Boy, do I know how you feel. My own brother gave me the heave-ho, all for a babe. Actually, two really hot babes," Rutt said, "better watch your brother doesn't walk out on you."
His eyes widened at the thought, but then he shook it away and said, "he wouldn't do that."
Rutt scoffed and said, gesturing to the heavens. "I said the same fact, right, but get a load of moose-anova over there."
Koda looked at the heavens and saw Tuke laughing with the girls and then he said, "shall I compare thee to a summer's dew?"
"Did you just make that up," Anda asked. Then Kata gushed. "He's such a poet."
Rutt sighed as he walked away. "I guess I'll see you around, little bear."
Then Koda really began to concern about what Rutt said. Would Kenai leave her for Nita? Unsure, he decided to head over to the other side, not really in the mood for swimming; he ran over the river and landed on the shore. Then he heard Kenai and Nita's laughter; he stayed behind the rocks and watched as Nita laughed as Kenai warned her a story while they sat in front of a fire.
"Anyhow, we spent the entire day trying to get away from Denahi as he kept shouting Sitka's name," Kenai concluded.
Nita laughed again while Koda just rolled his eyes in annoyance at the interaction between them. "This is the most fun I had since we were children," Nita said.
Then she rubbed her arms, feeling a little cold and asked Kenai. "Hey, aren't you cold from the night air?"
"On a night like this, it's nice to be a bear," Kenai said.
They both grinned warmly and both were feeling something different about each other, but they both remembered what they were going to do the next day and looked away from each other. "Well, Hokani Falls, I guess we'll make it there in time."
"I guess," Kenai said.
"A lot sure has changed since the last time we were there," Nita said.
"No joking," Kenai said, understanding what she was speaking about. Then he began to realize that he was falling in love with her, but knew that they couldn't be together since she was getting married.
Unknown to him, Nita was starting to feel the same fashion, but then remembered she was engaged to Atka. "Do you ever miss being human," Nita asked, "I mean, have you ever thought about changing back?"
Koda's eyes widened as he heard that question he had been dreading Nita would ask him; he looked at Kenai and hoped his response would be no.
But his hopes were crushed until he heard him say, "yes, I...I've thought about it."
"I knew that," Koda said on the verge of tears as he came out of hiding.
Kenai and Nita looked at him and realized he was listening to them. Then Kenai realized his mistake and began to say Koda's name.
But Koda cut him apart and cried, "you're going back with her!"
"Koda, wait," Kenai called as Koda suddenly ran away, "Koda, stop!"
Kenai and Nita looked at each other and then Nita caught hold of Kenai's back and they ran away after him. Koda kept running, breathing heavily. He couldn't believe what he just heard. Kenai was thinking about leaving him just to be with Nita.
Then Koda landed on the ground and began to run farther to the mountains. Behind him, he could hear Kenai shouting his name.
Kenai landed at the top of the hill and called out, "Koda! Respond to me!"
He looked down and saw Koda's tracks were heading into the mountains. Nita and Kenai walked up the mountain following Koda's paw-prints, but the wind and snow got worse and it was causing the tracks to fade apart.
Then Kenai tried calling out to him again, who growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "KODA!!"
This yell was so loud that it echoed across the mountains. But no response came, they continued ahead. Nita stopped for a second and watched Kenai walk around the corner, but she noticed on the ground footprints that matched Koda's boots going into an icy cave.
"Hello," Nita called out as she entered the cave. Then she called out. "Koda, are you in here?"
Suddenly, she gasped as she felt some ice fall on her; she looked up at the roof and realized that really loud noises would cause the whole cave to collapse. Nita entered deeper into the cave until she came into an open area inside.
"Where are you? Koda," Nita whispered.
Suddenly, she heard a sniff behind her; she turned and saw it was Koda sitting inside a hole of the cave, sniffling. "Go away," Koda said.
"Koda, Kenai's concerned sick about you," Nita said. Then she reached out her hand and said, "c'mon, I'll take you to him."
Koda shakes his head and shouts, "no! I said go away!"
As Koda's echoes bounced around the cave, a little more ice fell from the roof. "Koda, please keep your voice down," Nita pleaded, "it's not safe."
"I don't care! Just leave me alone," Koda shouts.
Suddenly, the whole cave began to shake; they both looked up and saw the roof began to crack and more ice began to fall. Then Koda said and came out of the hole, hugging Nita's waist. "No! Nita!"
"We're gonna be alright, but we must go now," Nita said and then she and Koda began running out of the cave as the roof began to collapse around them.
"Run faster," Nita shouts.
They both dodged the falling rocks. Then Nita saw the entrance and said, "we're gonna make it!"
Nita just managed to jump out of the exit until a large rock blocked it; however, Koda's leg got stuck. Nita ran back and pulled him out just as another rock fell; they both fell to the ground near the edge of the cliff and shivered heavily. Suddenly, they heard a noise above them and looked up and shrieked as they saw an avalanche heading towards them.
Kenai heard their shrieks and saw the avalanche, but he saw them sitting on the ledge and gasped in fright and yelled Koda's name.
Koda and Nita held onto each other as the snow broke the ledge and they began sliding down it like a sled. "Hang on, Koda," Nita shrieked, "don't let go!"
Koda held her tighter and then suddenly, the broken ledge hit a rock and broke it; they both fell apart and landed on the ground and before they could react fast enough, the snow fell on top of them and buried them deep within a lot of snow.
Kenai ran down to where they were buried and immediately began to dig through the snow; he kept digging deeper until eventually, he saw Koda.
"Koda," he shouts. He dug more snow out of the hole and then pulled Koda and placed him down, but he pulled Nita out of the hole and placed her down.
They both breathed deeply and then both he and Koda looked at each other; Koda was on the verge of tears again, knowing that the avalanche was quick to blame and he almost got himself and Nita murdered.
Kenai looked at him gently and said, "Koda, what would I have done if anything happened to you?"
Koda sniffled. "You're gonna leave me," he said.
Then he gestured to Nita and said, "you said you missed being one of them."
Kenai and Nita looked at each other, both knowing that their conversation was what set Koda apart in the first place. Nita and Kenai sighed mournfully at each other and then Nita walked away, leaving him alone with Koda.
"You're going back with her, aren't you," Koda asked.
Kenai looked at him and said, "I do miss facts, but...you're my brother. I'll never leave you."
"Not ever," Kenai said.
Nita sat down and looked at the amulet around her neck, but she turned back to Kenai and Koda and thought that perhaps it'd be better if he just left once they burned the amulet tomorrow night, hearing the frustrated brown bear shout his name.
The night of the Equinox had arrived. Then Tuke, Anda and Kata all sat together on a hill that was near Hokani Falls as the Spirits started to appear in the heavens while Rutt sat apart from them, looking down and almost on the verge of tears from the fashion that Tuke had been treating him.
"Ah, this show's giving me the munchies," Tuke said, "hey, little brother, how about you get us some twigs, right?"
Rutt sniffled and stood up. "Alright."
Kata gasped and asked the mournful moose sincerely. "Are you weeping?"
"No. Well, I mean...yes. These lights are so beautiful," Rutt sniffled.
"Oh, he's sensitive," Anda gushed.
Then Anda and Kata got up and walked over to Rutt; Tuke's jaw dropped as they all sat down as Anda and Kata started cuddling up to Rutt instead of him.
"Hey! I can be sensitive as well," Tuke scoffed in disbelief.
Rutt grinned at the attention he was now receiving and he said to Anda and Kata. "I like your wing feathers."
"Really," Kata asked. Rutt nodded and said, "yes, and I'm a hoof man. Yours are nice and shiny."
Tuke scoffed. "Hoof man! Why didn't I think of that?"
Kenai, Koda and Nita had just arrived at the cave where Kenai and Nita would hang out if they were children; both of them sighed at the memories and there yet painted on the wall was the picture that Nita drew on the wall on the day Kenai saved her from drowning. Then they both just looked down mournfully, knowing it was almost over. Then the lights in became brighter and all three of them turned and watched in awe. Especially Koda, because this was the first time he had been seen the Equinox.
"Is that the Equinox," Koda asked.
"Yes, Koda. This is it," Kenai responded.
They all watched as the lights reached down to the earth and all around them, the snow melted and new grass and flowers had grown. Winter was now officially over and spring had begun.
"My mum is up there somewhere," Nita said, looking up at the heavens.
"My mum, is well," Koda said, "do you miss yours?"
Nita gave Koda a small grin and kneeled down to his height. "Yes. But you don't need to wait for the lights to find her, Koda."
"She's always with you. In here," Nita said as she placed a hand where her core was, "once you love someone, they stay in your heart forever."
Koda wiped the oncoming tears from his eyes and hugged Nita around the waist; Nita returned the hug and then she looked at Koda, who was looking down the whole time. As much as he wanted to warn Nita he really did love her, he knew it wouldn't work out between them at all since he was a bear and she was human.
"It's time," Kenai said and then Nita and Koda gave each other another tight hug.
Nita lit a small fire; Koda sat with Kenai on the other side of the small campfire while Nita sat on the opposite side. Then Nita removed the amulet from around her neck and was about to throw it in until she paused and hesitated as she and Kenai looked at each other one more time. Then with a heavy heart, she threw the amulet into the fire as it burned, small lights danced around the flames and then flew up the ancestors as they faded into the night. The deed was done and now the bond was sent back to the ancestors.
Then all three of them looked at each other again. Nita was on the verge of tears; she gave Koda a small grin and said as she gave him a hug. "Koda, you be nice, alright? You're such a sweet little cub."
"I'm losing you, Nita," Koda said. Nita gasped as she realized that the spell that gave her the ability to speak to them was broken.
Nita was on the verge of weeping as Kenai said, "farewell, Nita."
They both just stared at each other with mournful eyes. Then Nita closed her eyes as some tears fell and she said silently, "farewell."
Then she got up and walked off, allowing her tears to fall as she began her journey home. Koda and Kenai watched her leave from the ledge of the cave and Kenai looked even more brokenhearted than before, unaware that Nita was feeling the exact same fashion.
Nita continued to walk back to her home; in her head, she felt that she had finished what she needed to do; but in her heart, she didn't feel like she accomplished anything.
Big Mama: If you have a natural presentation
You deserve a chemical reaction
You're gonna get an entire lot
Of satisfaction
Here's all you have to do
Kenai and Koda headed back to Crowberry Ridge and in no time at all, they both made it, but even though Koda had done everything to cheer Kenai up, he just wasn't happy now that Nita was gone.
If you feel that natural affection
Lead you in the positive direction
Nita came to the river and this time she was able to cross it on her own and about another day of walking; later, she was back home. They had all welcomed her back; Chikoot hugged her tightly and they all began to make the festivities once more for her wedding, but even though Nita managed to hide it well; she was yet disheartened and she truly missed Kenai and that was until she completely realized that she loved him; but her if her father asked if she was alright, she pretended it was nothing. At both locations, both Kenai and Nita were constantly thinking about each other.
You mustn't stop showing off, start showing up
With a little old natural you
Yes, you must appreciate the lady
And now, that is a natural fact
Because if you be yourself
With the lady, yes
You're gonna get
I'll go wherever you goooooOOOO!!!!
It was now nighttime at Crowberry Ridge; Kenai kept staring at the lake in front of them and just continued looking down. Koda walked over and sat down behind him; he knew he was thinking about Nita and kept thinking it was her fault that he was mournful.
"Kenai, did you give Nita the amulet because you loved her," Koda asked.
Kenai sighed mournfully and just said, "it was a long time ago."
"But she's yet with you in here," Koda said as he placed his paw on his chest where his heart/core would be, "I can warn."
"Ah, Koda, it doesn't matter," Kenai said. "Well, if you do love her, shouldn't you warn her," Koda asked.
"It's a little more complicated than that," Kenai said. Then he shook his head and said, "anyhow, it's over now."
Then he pretended to grin and said as he ruffled his fur. "Hey, I promised you we'd be the first two bears to Crowberry Ridge. How about first fact in the morning, we rustle up some more berries? Sound nice?"
"If you say so, pal," Koda said though he knew Kenai better than that.
He chuckled and then made a tent and they both went inside and laid down on their homemade sleeping mats. As soon as Kenai was asleep, Koda got out of bed and walked out of the tent, but he stood on the rock and looked up at the lights that began dancing in the heavens. Then he hoped his mother would hear him for what he was about to ask.
"Mum, Kenai's so mournful. It's all because of me. I'll be alright on my own. Warn the spirits to change Kenai back where he can be happy," Koda asked and then jumped back down the rock.
In the morning, Kenai awakened to the sound of voices outside the tent and then walked out, rubbing his tired eyes and as he completely opened them, he saw it was Rutt and Tuke, along with Anda and Kata speaking outside.
"Rise and shine, bear boy," Rutt said. "Hey, we saw smallish bear last night," Tuke said.
"We tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen to us," Rutt concluded.
Kenai's eyes widened as soon as he heard that and asked, now worried. "What? Where was he going?"
"Uh...oh. To get Nita," Tuke responded, "he said he was gonna bring her back for you."
"Bring her back," Kenai asked. Then he gasps in fear and shouts in a panic. "No, no! If he steps foot in the village, the hunters will get him!"
Then he dissolved the tent and started running at top speed for the village, hoping to get to Koda in time before the hunters did so.
In the village, Nita was sitting in the living room once again in her wedding dress, but she was yet mournful; not even Siqiniq and Taqqiq's constant bickering cheered her up. Then Chikoot came into the house and asked, "are you, my daughter?"
Nita sighed and responded silently. "Yes, Father."
Chikoot's grin dropped and he could warn Nita was down about something. He walked over and placed his hands on her shoulders and asked, "I would expect a bride to be grinning on her wedding day. Is there something wrong?"
Nita sighed again and then said, "Daddy, I'm so confused."
Then she stood up and continued, "I thought that if I burned the amulet, the bound would be broken, but in my heart, I..."
"I'm sorry, Daddy," she said, looking down from his eyes. Then she looked up and concluded, "I can't marry Atka."
Chikoot was silent; he didn't look mad at her, but more understanding. He was about to say something, but suddenly, they both heard a shriek and a woman cry. "A bear! There's a bear in the village!"
Nita and Chikoot opened the door and Nita was shocked to see Koda running off from some children, who were chasing after him.
"Koda? Wait! Don't hurt him," Nita called out as she began running after them.
Koda managed to get away from the children, but was almost caught by some of the men; one of them pulled out a blaster and shot at him, the blast hit him dead on and he tripped over with now cuffs around his wrists and ankles.
"HEEELLLPPP," Koda began shrieking, now frightened.
"Don't! Please, don't," Nita shouts.
Atka came out of the house he was staying at and watched the scene. Suddenly, a blast is shot at the ground near the Inuit humans' feet and then Kenai lands in front of Koda and shouts, "get away from him!"
All of them ran away, but Kenai tore apart the cuffs binding Koda and then held him in his mouth.
"Get your weapons," Atka shouts and all the hunters catch their weapons and start running towards them.
"Atka, no," Nita shouts, but she trips over, "leave him alone!"
But none of them would listen to her. Then Atka tried to attack Kenai, but he kicked him back and then headed towards the rocks. He turned back to Nita, who turned back to them and she yelled at them. "Run!"
The hunters started chasing after them as Kenai started running up the rocks, but Atka caught a gun that had the ability to stop a bear from using its powers for an hour and a razor sharp spear and ordered, "after them!"
Nita got back up and took off the wedding dress, leaving her pants and a shirt; Chikoot ran up to her and asked, "Nita, are you hurt?!"
"I have to stop them," Nita said and then chased Atka and the others.
Kenai and Koda stopped on a platform on the cliffs. Then they both heard Atka shout. "There he is!"
They looked below to see Atka, along with two more hunters with him at the bottom. Kenai caught hold of Koda and was ready to run away, but as he turned his back, Atka threw his razor sharp spear at him, giving him some big scratches. He growled in pain and then frowned at Atka, but before he could do anything, Atka blasted him with the gun, which knocked him back a little.
Then Koda started to climb up the rocks, but Kenai got up faster and pushed a boulder down at him; the boulder didn't hit him or the other hunters climbing, but it did delay them for a few seconds. Kenai caught hold of Koda and tried to run, but found he couldn't.
"Now you see me, now you don't," Kenai said as he ran.
Then he stopped where a dead tree was hanging on the rocky wall, but he knew he saw the hole was small enough to fit Koda in where he put him inside and warned her silently. "Stay low."
Then he ran away in an effort to lure Atka and the other hunters apart. Atka reached the top and then caught his spear that was lodged into the wall and then continued to chase after Kenai. Koda heard his footsteps and suddenly changed target; he watched Atka look for Kenai and then saw the trail of blood on the wall, knowing it was Kenai's and started following it.
Then Koda came out and dropped his perspective. "There you are," a loud, ticked off voice split through the air.
He gasped at the sight of the two hunters, but before he could run off, they both caught him and one held him tightly as the other started tying his paws with the rope.
"No! Let me go," Koda cried.
Then they both stopped until they heard a noise; they all looked up to see Tuke and Rutt on the edge of the cliff, looking menacingly at the two hunters. They both chuckled hesitantly and let Koda go, but they both jumped off the cliff and was planning on attacking them, but they ended up smashing into the tree branches, but it worked in their favor and the branches broke and landed on the hunters, knocking them unconscious.
"Oh! Our heroes," Anda and Kata cheered and then ran down to kiss their boyfriends.
"Way to go, Idaho," Rutt and Tuke both cheered as they high-fived each other's hooves.
"C'mon! We have to find Kenai," Koda said as Tuke bit his ropes apart and they all ran after Atka.
Kenai kept running; he was feeling weak from some blood loss, but he kept going. He turned back to see the light of Atka's torch coming round the corner. He climbed under some rocks, but his blood left a trail on the roof as he climbed out. Then Atka came and saw the blood and climbed through, following it. Kenai landed on a platform and breathed heavily, hoping he had lost Atka, until suddenly, he was tackled to the ground by Atka, who picked up his spear and both of them pushed against each other.
Nita was following them, but she gasped at the sight of Kenai's red blood trail and shrieked, "Kenai!"
Although Kenai was weak, he started managing to gain the advantage over Atka and started pushing down to the ground and held him to the ground.
"NO, DON'T," Nita shouts.
Kenai looked up to see Nita standing on a cliff near them; he stopped and stood up. Then Atka took advantage of his distracted mind and threw a smoke bomb at his face, causing him to go blind for a second and cough and then Atka pushed him off the edge of the platform.
"KENAI," Nita yelled as she heard him fall.
This yell was so loud that it echoed across the village. Kenai roared as he fell and then landed hard in the shallow water below, causing him to go unconscious.
Atka stood up and looked over, believing that Kenai was dead, but he grinned and then it dropped until he heard Nita yell at him. "How could you?!"
"Oh, poor me to die," Atka said, "to sing no more song of the living. For years, I tried to capture you, I deserve no better. My fate is sealed. I'll just lie here and freeze to death. You run along, nice moose, you deserve well."
"He was my friend," Nita shrieked and then started climbing down.
Atka looked at her and then Kenai, but his face changed to a look of regret. Nita completed climbing down and kneeled behind Kenai, not caring if she was getting wet. He was alive, but really weak. He opened his eyes and looked weakly at her; she saw the amount of blood in the water and saw his wound was yet bleeding. Koda, Rutt, Tuke, Anda and Kata arrived at the scene and they all froze at the sight.
Koda ran over and watched as Nita tore off her sleeve and cleaned Kenai's wound. Then Koda hugged him gently as he could and said with tears falling down her face. "Kenai! This is all my fault. If only I hadn't lost control."
He managed to sit up and wrap his arm around her and hugged him gently; he winced as he leaned against the wall, but the wound was starting to heal. Then he looked at Nita and said, "Nita. I don't know if you understand me, but I love you."
Nita was on the verge of tears as she said, "I can't. I don't understand."
Then Kenai let go of Koda and reached out his paw, but Nita caught it and then he pulled it towards his heart and then looked at her mournfully. She eventually understood and then started to weep as she said, "I love you, as well."
Then they both hugged each other and then Koda joined in, but Chikoot arrived and saw the sight. Then they all heard a mystical noise and looked to the heavens to see the lights gathering around, but a light shone down on Kenai, Nita and Koda.
"The spirits," Kenai asked.
Nita gasped and said, "Kenai! I can understand you."
"I asked the spirits to turn you back back into a man where you could be with Nita," Koda said.
"No, Koda..." Kenai shook his head. Then he hugged him and said, "it's alright. I just want you to be happy again."
He hugged her back and then turned back to Nita and said, "Nita, I can't."
Nita looked up at the spirits and then her eyes widened as she thought of something. Then she grinned at him and said, "but I can."
Kenai looked at her in shock, knowing what she chose would mean. "Am I the only one that hears these bears speaking," Chikoot asked.
Nita grinned and ran over, giving Chikoot a hug. They pulled apart and Chikoot asked, knowing what Nita was about to do. "Is that what you want? Will this make you happy?"
She looked into his eyes and nodded. He grinned proudly at her and said, "you are my daughter and I will love you no matter what I choose."
They both shared another hug and then Nita walked over to the light; Kenai and Koda moved out of the road. Nita grinned at them and they returned the grin; with a deep breath, she entered the circle of light and looked up at the heavens; there was a bright flash of light and then all around them, rainbows of colors and images of animal spirits danced in the heavens. She watched in amazement as an image of a bear appeared in the heavens, but she was lifted into the air and they all watched in awe as she was floating in the image of the bear and then there was a bright flash of light and Nita had been changed into a bear.
They all grinned as she was gently placed down on the dry ground. Then Kenai walked over and asked, "Nita?"
She moaned a little as she awakened. "How do I look," she asked Kenai.
Kenai grinned and said, "like a bear."
Then he decided to joke a little and lied, "except they gave you antlers."
"With what," she shouts, disgusted at the thought. She looked at her reflection in the water and then looked at Kenai, annoyed as he started laughing. "Got you now!"
Then they all started laughing at Kenai's joke and Nita discovered that she had the ability to control plants, which just amazed her even more and now they could all be together. The next day at sunset, the villagers played music. On one side was Chikoot and all the other villagers and on the other side of the aisle was all the bears, including Tug and Hoonah.
Life is simple and clear
If you make the right choices
That's true while you're here
If you find your own voice
Then Kenai grinned as Nita came walking down the aisle. Nita grinned as she stood behind Kenai. Then Nita stood on the other side of Kenai and they both said their vows.
Oh, my brothers and sisters believe
You are just what you are meant to be
Oh, Grand Spirit
Hear my voice, today
They both grinned lovingly at each other and then they both kissed each other passionately; everyone cheered for the newlyweds. Then Kenai and Nita nuzzled each other and then Koda as he jumped in between them.
"I love happy endings," Rutt said.
"I love happy endings as well," Tuke agreed.
"And happy beginnings," Anda said as she and Kata hugged their boyfriends.
Then Nita threw the bouquet and who caught it? Hoonah. Then Chikoot hugged his daughter as Innoko stood to the side and grinned at Nita.
Look all around you
Welcome, magic
Welcome, sweet sun ray (sweet sun ray)
Love is no secret
Look all around you
Welcome to this daayyyy!!!!
Everyone watched as the lights danced in the heavens and then the lights traveled back to Hokani Falls and changed the picture on the wall to make it look like Kenai and Nita in their bear forms.
