Rayman Legends Adventures in Brother Bear/Script

Our story began as an old man lit up a small fire in front by some of the children. He had a small wolf pendant around his neck. He stood up and began to warn the children a story.
"This is a story from long ago where big mammoths yet roamed our lands. It's the story of my two brothers and I, until all three of us are young. We were taught that the world is complete with magic. The source of this magic is the changing light dancing in the heavens."
In the mountains, a middle-aged woman named Tanana and she had climbed the mountain for some reason. She grinned as she watched the northern lights dance in the heavens above her.
"The shaman in our village warned us that these lights are the spirits of our ancestors and have the power to change our world. Small facts become big, winter turns to spring, one fact always turns into another."
Tanana watched in awe as some blue magic came down from the lights and changed the snow around her into grass and flowers. She bent down and picked up a small rock and allowed the grand spirits to pick it up. She watched as the rock began to change its shape.
"But the biggest change I ever saw was in my brother, a boy who desperately wanted to be a man."

Brother Bear
A sixteen-year-old boy was running off from something while laughing. His name was Kenai.
"GET DOWN," Kenai shouts as he heads towards two other people, who are sitting at their canoes.
The older one was twenty-year-old Sitka, who was the older brother of Kenai. The younger one was eighteen-year-old Denahi, who was the middle man of the group.
All of them look at Kenai in confusion as he shouts, but then gasps in shock as they see an entire herd of caribou running in a stampede behind him. They shrieked in fright and ducked behind the canoes. Kenai ducked behind them and then laughed hysterically as the animals jumped over the canoes and over them, while Denahi and Sitka breathed heavily in fright.
As soon as the caribou were gone, Kenai sat up and said, "never try to milk a caribou."
Denahi got a little mad and tackled him to the ground. Sitka shook his head at their silliness. Denahi pinned him down to the ground, but Sitka pulled them apart and held them both off from each other as he said, "do you want to knock it down?"
"It's alright, Sitka. After today, he won't treat me like that again," Kenai said while frowning at Denahi.
"That's right, the grand ceremony of manhood. No matter what the spirits say, you'll always be our little brother," Denahi said teasingly.
"Oh, yes! Well, wait until I get my totem," Kenai retorted back. Then Denahi continued to tease a baby brother.
Then Kenai tried to tackle him, but Sitka held him back and said, "wait! I said stop! Now, the sooner we get these fish, the sooner we'll get to your ceremony. Then let's all try to get along for a few hours."
"Whatever you say," Denahi exclaimed as he strained in his grip.
Denahi was about to ask Kenai, but his eyes widened until he saw he had sneaked away and already was in his canoe in the water.
"Then what are we waiting for," Kenai exclaimed as he waited for them.
Sitka let go of Denahi and laughed as he caught his canoe, but Denahi caught his and followed behind. Once they were in the water, they sailed away.
Chorus: If the earth was young
And the air was sweet
And the mountains kissed the heavens
Kenai, Denahi and Sitka sailed through the now melting glaciers. They came to some waterfalls and jumped across while carrying their canoes. Kenai made his jump, but was about to fall until Sitka caught him.
In the grand beyond, with its many paths
Man and nature lived side-by-side
In this wilderness of danger and beauty
Lived three brothers, bonded by love
Their hearts complete with joy
They ask now for guidance
Reaching out to the heavens up above
Then they all used their canoes as snow sleds and slid down the snow. They cheered in emotion at the rush and then they landed back into the water. Tanana continued to travel back to the village.

Brothers to each other
In this world we remain truly
Brothers all the same
Give us wisdom to pass each other
Give us strength where we understand
That the facts we do
The choices we make
Give direction to all life's plans
Sitka and Denahi began to pull the fish out of the water with the net, but then suddenly, a mammoth charged past them and knocked the net out of their hands. They looked to see a laughing Kenai riding it. While Sitka laughed at him, Denahi rolled his eyes at his immaturity.
To look in wonder
At all we've been given
In a world that's not always as it seems
Every corner we turn
Only leads to another
A journey ends, but another begins
At last, they completed collecting the fish and began to sail back to their home. Up in the cave side, everyone was getting ready for the ceremony, some of them were painting on the wall and some were gathering large amounts of wood for the bonfire.
Grand Spirits of all who lived before

Sitka, Denahi and Kenai made it to the shore and began to carry the fish to the village. It was a small village, but there were a lot of people who lived in it. As Kenai walked over to a tree to hang the basket of fish in, some children came over.
"Kenai's back! Are you emotional to have your rock spirit today," one of the children asked.
"It's not a rock, it'll be my totem. Yes, I'll probably get a saber-tooth tiger for bravery or strength or witness. You know, something that suits me," Kenai said as he began to pull the basket up with the rope.
Denahi came up and said, "how about a mammoth for your big head? Just be sure to tie that basket securely."
"Don't worry! No foolish bear will become near this fish," Kenai said.
"Just tie it up," Denahi said as he walked off. Then Kenai mocked him and continued to tie the rope.
"She's back," they heard people shout.
"C'MON," Sitka exclaimed and everyone began heading towards the cave.
Kenai swiftly tied the rope and ran away. The basket, however, fell on the ground, and Kenai turned back for a second and then shrugged it away as he headed to the cave. There was no fashion he was going to be late for this big day.
Grand Spirits of all who lived before

Drums were playing. People were dancing. Then they watched as Tanana walked through, with a flaming torch in her hand. She walked up to the sticks and then threw the torch in and everyone cheered as the bonfire arose high.
Show us that in your eyes
We are all the same
Brothers to each other
In this world we remain truly
Brothers all the same
Brothers all the same!
The music and dancing stopped and everyone sat down on the ground, except for Tanana.
"If each of us comes of age, grand spirits reveal to us a totem that guides us through our lives. Some of us use courage to guide us, some use patience, and some of us for beauty," Tanana said.
Then Tanana sat down in front and called Kenai's name.
Then Kenai came out and sat in front of her, but Tanana placed some paint on his face and asked, "you hesitant?"
"Emotional," Kenai responded.
"Kenai, I've been to the mountains where the lights touch the earth and the grand spirits have revealed your totem to me. To become a man, your actions must be guided by one fact..." Tanana began as she picked up the totem that was covered by a cloth.
Kenai got emotional as she removed the cloth as she continued, "your totem is....love."
Kenai's grin dropped as he looked at the pendant that was shaped like a bear. She placed the totem around his neck and he asked in confusion. "The Bear of Love?"
"A love that connects and unites all living beings," Tanana said. Kenai turned back and noticed Denahi snickering at him.
"Who wants to exchange," Kenai whispered, but Tanana heard him and snapped, "there is no business!"
"Kenai, love is the most precious of totems, it reveals itself in unexpected fashions. Let love guide your actions. Then one day, you'll be a man and make your mark among these of our ancestors."
Kenai looked at the wall in awe. He walked over and noticed his father Glen Greenwood's mark, as well as Tanana's, Denahi's and Sitka's. Then Tanana raised his hand and everyone cheered for another member of their village had received their totem. Tanana laughed and then hugged her youngest son, but Kenai was yet unsure about this totem.
Kenai walked around the village for a bit, yet thinking about the totem he received from the spirits. He kinda felt that he didn't receive the right totem or that it even made any sense to him.
"There he is. Come here, lover boy," Denahi said teasingly as he walked up to him.
Kenai gave her a sigh of annoyance and snapped, "leave me alone."
"Kenai, wait," Denahi said with seriousness, which made Kenai stop. Then he continued. "I'm sorry. Your totem, I think it's really cool."
"You do," Kenai asked.
"Yes, and I did something to you," Denahi said as he reached into his pocket. Kenai grinned, but then it dropped as he suddenly threw a flower crown on his head and said, laughing. "Now if you jump loving everyone, you'll smell so sweet."
Kenai gritted his teeth in annoyance and threw the flower crown back at him. He caught it, yet laughing.
"Well, isn't this nice? Instead of fighting, they're giving each other flowers," Sitka said as he walked up to them.
"Yes, isn't it lovely? He's already so in touch with his totem," Denahi said jokingly and continued laughing.
"Hey, dog breath. Go take care of the fish," Sitka ordered. Then Denahi dropped some flowers on Kenai's head and walked away, yet laughing.
Then Kenai picked up a rock and was about to throw it at him, but Sitka stopped him by catching his hand and pulled the rock out of it.
"Someday, I'm going to....it's so..." Kenai stuttered out, pretty annoyed with Denahi.
Sitka chuckled a bit at Kenai's frustration and said, "hey, you idiot! Just because his totem is wisdom doesn't mean he's wise. I mean, look at him."
They watched as Denahi was so distracted by his continuous laughing. He didn't notice that he was walking straight in front by one of the villager's dogs, who then jumped up and bit him right on the bum. Kenai and Sitka flinched as he shrieked in pain and then laughed for a second.
"Yes. I guess the spirits got both of our totems wrong," Kenai said as he walked around with Sitka.
"You know, I felt the same fashion that Tanana gave me mine," Sitka said as he pulled out his totem, which was shaped like an eagle. Then he continued. "The Guidance Eagle, what does that mean? But now that I'm older, I know it's about being a leader and keeping an eye on the two of you."
Kenai laughed as he ruffled his hair for a second, but then his grin dropped and he said, "I just want to leave my hand-print on that wall."
"Be patient, Kenai. If you live past your totem, you will," Sitka said.
"Really," Kenai asked. Then Sitka fist bumped him as he responded, "guarantee it."
Then Kenai looked at his totem again and said, "but c'mon, The Love Bear? I mean, a bear doesn't love anyone! They don't think, they don't feel. I mean, they're..."
They both stopped as they saw fish on the ground, from where the basket was meant to be and bear paw-prints on the ground.
"They're thieves," Kenai finished. They both looked up to see Denahi and some other villagers frowning at him. Denahi was holding the rope the basket was attached to.
"You didn't bind it, did you," Denahi asked frustratedly. Kenai didn't respond and only looked down.
Then Denahi comes up and shouts, "you should have the pinhead totem!"
"Enough! We'll make another basket," Sitka said, but Kenai walked away for a second.
"It took me two weeks to make that basket! He's the one messing facts up all the time, typical Kenai," Denahi shouts again.
"Alright! I'll go get your basket," Kenai said as he came back, holding a razor sharp spear. Then he left.
"Kenai, wait," Sitka shouts to try and stop him, but Kenai carries on. Then Sitka frowned at Denahi, who then shrugged his shoulders in confusion and asked, "what?"
Sitka just shook his head at him. Kenai continued walking up the hill and rocks, following the bear's tracks. Once he got to the top of the hill, he found the basket. The fish were all gone and the basket was fully ruined. He stood up and kicked the pieces in frustration. He was about to head back down until he heard movement.
He turned around and saw a tall brown bear looking around the bushes.
"Daughter," the bear called out repeatedly.
Kenai picked a rock and threw it at the bear, getting her attention. Then the bear roared. "Toro!"
Kenai threw another one, this time hitting her on the muzzle and then she yelled out. "Stop this! I didn't mean any harm!"
"Kenai," Sitka called out as he and Denahi climbed up the rocks near where Kenai was. They were both carrying razor sharp spears.
"Where'd that go," Sitka asked as they continued walking.
"If we're lucky, far away," Denahi responded sarcastically.
Then they heard Kenai yell and looked up to see him fall down the top of the hill and onto a cliff ledge.
"KENAI," Sitka and Denahi shout in unison and run to the top to help him.
Kenai got up and stood against the wall of the cliff, trying to keep away from the edge. Then Sitka laid on his stomach at the top and reached down his hand as he yelled out, "Kenai, give me your hand!"
"Sitka, no! You have to get out of here," Kenai shouts back. Sitka looks at him in confusion, but then Kenai shouts, "the bear! Look behind you!"
Then he turned around to see the bear standing behind him, roaring. Suddenly, her attention was drawn to Denahi as he threw a rock at her.
"C'mon, bear! Come this fashion," Denahi yelled out, but the bear started following Denahi, fighting him with his own weapon. They both walked onto the ice land part of the mountainside.
Then Sitka pulled Kenai up and then ran over to help Denahi, who was busy defending himself against the bear weapon, but the bear pushed him back with a roar. Denahi almost fell through a hole in the ice, but his spear managed to hold him up. As Sitka began to fight off against the bear, Kenai ran over to get Denahi.
"DENAHI," Kenai shouts as he just manages to catch his arm as the spear breaks into pieces.
Then Kenai began to pull her up out of the hole, straining a little bit as Denahi tried to give his foot to grip the ice, but it was too slippery. Sitka stopped fighting for a second as he heard Kenai and Denahi strain, but then the bear knocked him to the ground with a roar and then slowly began her descent for Kenai, who looked up in fear. Sitka sat up and caught his spear, now fearing for his brothers. He looked over at the cracking ice underneath his feet and knew there was only one fashion out of this.
Then Sitka hoisted his spear and drove it through the crack. As he pulled it sideways, the crack got bigger and cut the bear off from Kenai and Denahi as he eventually pulled him out of the hole and they both looked at their brother in shock at what he was thinking. The bear began to panic at the sound of the ice breaking.
"Sitka," Kenai and Denahi shrieked in unison.
Sitka looked up at them and held onto his spear as the ice began to fall and break. The bear tried running off, but she didn't make it far until the ice completely broke and they both fell into the water, along with the big blocks of ice.
Denahi and Kenai looked over the edge and looked around for Sitka. Suddenly, the bear burst out of the water, roaring. She came out of the water and onto the shore. She looked up at them one last time and ran away.
"C'MON," Kenai shouts and then they both run down to the water to find Sitka.
"SITKA," they both shout as they go into the water and look around. Kenai found the end of Sitka's broken spear floating in the water and continued to look around.
"Sitka, where are you? Sitka," Kenai continued to yell.
"Sitka! Sitka," Denahi yelled out as he also looked through the water.
He climbed over the large pieces of ice and then stopped in his tracks as he saw something in the water ahead of him, but he yelled out Kenai's name.
Kenai ran over to him and then to the items in the water. He picked it up to see it was Sitka's coat, all torn up.
"No! Sitka," Kenai yelled and then he threw the coat off and continued to look.
Denahi picked up the coat and then gasped in despair after realizing that Sitka was no longer alive. Then he walked over to where Kenai was yet searching.
"SITKA, RESPOND TO ME!! SITKA," Kenai shrieked, but Denahi caught hold of his brother and held him tightly in an embrace.
"Kenai, stop! He's disappeared," Denahi said silently.
Kenai began to weep and shriek. "He can't be gone! NO! NO!!"
Denahi began to weep as well as Kenai continued to sob into his shoulder, their beloved older brother Sitka died saving our lives, who growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "STEELE!!"
This yell was so loud that it echoed across the landscape. Later that night, everyone had heard about what just happened to Sitka and the entire village fell into despair. It was especially hard for Tanana because Sitka was her eldest child, first she lost Glen and now she had lost Sitka, everyone gathered into the cave the next evening for the funeral and death ceremony. They had managed to find Sitka's body for it. Kenai and Denahi brought up Sitka's coat and his totem to Tanana, who then blessed the items and placed them on top of Sitka's body and with a heavy heart, she lit the bonfire and they all watched as the northern lights appeared and Sitka's spirit was sent to them.
Then Kenai walked off with only one fact in mind; revenge. Denahi stood there and wept along with his mother. Kenai had completed gathering up all the stuff he needed and went back to go and get Denahi. Denahi and Tanana stayed behind. After the ceremony was over, Denahi stood in front of the smoldering fire and continued to mourn.
"You ready," Kenai asked.
"Why," Denahi asked in confusion as he turned to face him, hearing the frustrated Native American shout his name.
"I'll follow the bear," Kenai responded as he tossed him a razor sharp spear.
Denahi looked down at the weapon and sighed, but he threw it on the ground and said, "I know what you're feeling, but murdering the bear is wrong."
"Wrong! Our brother died because of the beast," Kenai said in disbelief.
Denahi faced him and said, "I have no guilt for the bear, Kenai."
Kenai just looked at him in shock, but he frowned at him and said, "I see."
"Murdering the bear won't make you a man," Denahi said as he placed his hand on his shoulder.
He shoved his hand away and said sarcastically, "now you're trying to be smart!"
"I'm trying to follow my totem! Why can't you do the same," Denahi asked.
"Do you think love has nothing to do with being a man? A man can't just sit here and do nothing," Kenai retorted back and began to leave. Denahi caught hold of his shoulder and tried one last time. "Kenai. Don't offend the spirits."
Kenai scoffed. "Spirits! Thank you for your wisdom."
As he walked away, he stopped in front of Tanana, who had a pleading look on her face. Then Kenai pulled out his totem and tore it off his neck, but he threw it to the ground and left. Tanana shook her head no and then picked up his totem, but she handed it to Denahi.
"I have to stop him," Denahi said. Tanana gave him a fast hug and picked up his sharp spear, but he left to go after Kenai.
Then Tanana looked to the heavens and said, "you have just left, Sitka. Your relatives need your guidance."
The heavens suddenly lit up with the northern lights once again and Tanana knew that her pleas had been responded by not only Sitka, but by the other spirits as well. The next morning, Kenai continued to follow the tracks of the bear that they fought yesterday. The tracks and paw-prints coming from them were yet fresh. He ran through the forest, past the waterfall, found trees with sharp thorns on them and continued to run with more frustration burning inside.
He jumped into a gooseberry field where the tracks ended. He looked around and saw no sign of the bear, but then heard a stick snap. He got down and sneaked through the bushes. But as he stood up to face the bear, it turned out to be a squirrel. He spooked it away and then shoved his spear in the ground. He sat down and was about to eat a berry until he heard a bear's roar.
He hid behind the bushes more and noticed it was the same bear from yesterday, calling out. "Scamper! Snowflake! Where are you?"
Kenai silently tried to reach over to catch his spear, but then stopped as the bear bent down to look through the bushes. She stopped as she smelled the air and shrieked Copper's name.
Kenai took some deep breaths and then jumped and caught his spear and stood up ready to fight. But the bear was gone, but he swiftly found her running off, roaring in frustration. Then Kenai began to chase after her. He followed her to some cliffs that were covered by fog. Kenai kept on running until he stopped at a dead end. He looked around and then heard her running up the cliff side, but Kenai began to climb over that fashion to cut her off at the top. The bear stopped at the edge of the cliff and then he turned around to see herself facing Kenai.
Denahi had just arrived at the gooseberry field and continued to follow the bear's tracks and Kenai. Meanwhile, Kenai began to fight the bear. He charged at her with his spear, but she caught it and swung him around in a complete circle and then dropped him against a rock. Then she charged at him, but Kenai managed to hold her back with the staff apart of his spear. Denahi arrived at the cliffs and saw Kenai holding off against the bear. He gasped in fright and then ran through to find a road to get up there.
Kenai let go of the spear and crawled underneath her and got on top of a rock, but the bear started pushing the rock, causing it to break with each assault. As the rock broke, Kenai jumped away and ran to the spear. The bear roared and chased after him. Shrieking in fright, he held his spear in front of him at the last second and all Denahi could hear was a bear's roar, echoing through the cliffs. Denahi looked around and continued to run towards Kenai.
Kenai climbed out from under the now dead bear. He looked at the body and saw that the deed was done. Kenai stared at it, knowing that she's dead. Then he shrieked to the heavens in frustration. This yell was so loud that it echoed across the aurora borealis. Denahi heard the yell and ran faster. Kenai closed his eyes to try and calm down, but he looked around and saw blue floating watery lights flying around them. He heard whispering coming from them and then ran back to one of the rocks as a sudden single blue waterfall started falling from the heavens and spread water everywhere. Kenai looked on in shock and awe. Denahi looked up at the cliff to where Kenai was and noticed it fully covered in mist and lightning began to strike.
Then Kenai climbed carefully into the ankle deep water and walked slowly towards the glowing waterfall with his spear in hand. With curiosity, he touched it with the tip of his spear and then suddenly jumped back in fright as the water disappeared and bright lights surrounded him. He looked around to see the northern lights dancing around him and within the lights were all different kinds of species of animals. He was shocked, amazed and terrified at the same time as spirits of wolves ran around him.
Suddenly, an eagle landed in front of him and then transformed into Sitka, who looked mournfully at him.
"Sitka," Kenai whispered in shock that his brother was standing right in front of him.
Then Sitka looked at the dead body of the bear. Kenai's jaw dropped as her body and spirit was suddenly gone in just two seconds. Then he turned back to see Sitka was gone. He dropped his spear until he suddenly felt him being lifted into the air by Sitka in his spirit eagle form. Meanwhile, Denahi continued to climb the cliff in an effort to get to Kenai faster.
Kenai suddenly felt himself changing as he fell unconscious. Suddenly, within a flash of light, he was transformed into a bear. Then he was gently placed back down onto the cliff. Denahi had almost reached the top. He tried to use his spear to get a better grip, but it broke and he almost fell off.
Then the spirits disappeared as Kenai began to weakly stand up on his legs. There was a boom of thunder before the rain began to fall. Denahi eventually reached the top of the cliff and looked to find Kenai's clothes, all torn up. On the ground, he looked up to see the grizzly bear staggering a bit.
"No," Denahi gasped and dropped in shock. Kenai turned around and his vision was clouded. Suddenly, lightning struck again. Roaring in fright, he fell off the cliff and into the raging rapids of the river. He hit his head on a broken tree that was underwater. He roared as he emerged from the water and tried to fight against the current, but he suddenly hit his head really hard on a rock and was knocked unconscious.
Then Kenai was carried by the current over a small waterfall and into some calmer waters, but the current flipped over on his back and pushed him onto the shore. Back on the cliff, Denahi was weeping as he thought that the bear he just saw had murdered his brother, but he pulled out his totem and looked at it and remembered what he said.
"A man couldn't just sit here and do nothing!"
He picked up Kenai's razor sharp spear and attached his totem to it. With new frustration and determination, he decided to track down the bear and avenge his elder brother. But unknown to him, that the bear was Kenai.
The next morning, Kenai awakened and looked around. He was yet feeling really weak from being tossed around in the water that night. He looked around and saw he was yet in the forest, but he saw Tanana stand up from the river with a rag in her hand and walked up to him.
"Well, Kenai, did you decide to join the living? That's a big obstacle you have there. It must've been quite a ride through these rapids," Tanana said as he wiped his head and then went back to the river.
"Tanana," Kenai asked as he sat up and moaned. He rubbed his head where he hit it on the rock. Then he gasped as he remembered what just happened on the cliff and began saying, "Nana! You're not going to believe this! I was on top of this huge rock and all of a sudden..."
But all Tanana could hear was Kenai saying. "Mother! You won't believe that! I was on that huge rock and suddenly there were these lights and the spirits."
"Kenai, my darling," Tanana said as she stopped him and said, "I don't speak bear."
Kenai looked at her in confusion and then turned around and looked at himself in a small puddle, only he didn't see himself. He saw that he was a brown grizzly bear.
"NO! NO!! NO!!! NO," Kenai panicked and then remained silent for a second, frightened out of his wits.
"AARRGGHH!!"
"OK, that's it! Will you calm down? Kenai! This won't work," Tanana said as she tried to calm the now panicking grizzly bear down.
She picked up a rock and then threw it at his head, which hit him dead on and he eventually stopped shrieking to the heavens and sat down.
Then Tanana caught his chin and said, "Kenai, listen to me. Sitka did so."
Then Tanana began to look at Kenai all around, amazed by the change the spirits did to him. "Huh. Strange. Spirits don't usually make this kind of change. Sitka must have something really big planned for you. You're going to get an entire new perspective on facts. Do you see it in black-and-white or color?"
Kenai furrowed his eyes in confusion and began to ask. "What was she thinking?"
But Tanana cut him off and said, "hey! Listen to me, you have yourself into this mess. If you want to change, take him with your brother's spirit. You'll find him on the mountain where the lights touch the earth. He'll help you make up for what you did wrong."
"But I didn't do anything wrong," Kenai said as he looked at the river. But as he turned his head to face Tanana, she was gone.
"Tanana! Wait! I didn't do anything wrong," Kenai exclaimed and then sighed as he said, "I don't even know how to get there."
Then Kenai heard somebody speaking over by one of the logs and walked over to check it out. But as he got there and looked over, he saw it was a couple of moose speaking to each other. Their names were Rutt and Tuke.
"This examination area is totally inadequate," Rutt complained.
"Stop whining," Tuke shouts back.
Kenai became shocked that he could hear two animals speaking in plain English and exclaimed to them. "You just spoke! How'd you do that?"
"Oh, sheesh! In here, hide," Rutt and Tuke exclaimed in fright and then hid behind the log.
Kenai just walked up to them and heard one of them whisper. "Act like we're not here."
"WE'RE NOT HERE," Rutt exclaimed.
Kenai just shook his head no and bent over the log and said, "look, I'm not gonna hurt you."
Then they both shrieked in fright and bumped into each other, almost knocking each other out.
"Please don't hurt us! We're too gamy! You wouldn't like us," they both began shouting to him.
"I'm not eating anyone," Kenai simply said.
They both sighed in relief and then Rutt said, "my name's Rutt. This is my brother Tuke. How are you, bear?"
"Don't call me that. I'm not a bear, I hate bears," Kenai said with annoyance.
"You're joking me," Tuke asked with a laugh.
"Do any of you know where the lights touch the earth," Kenai asked.
The two moose remained silent and both responded in unison. "No."
"No joking," Tuke said.
"I'm not a beaver! I'm a man, I was transformed into a bear magically! I was raised to heaven by my brother," Kenai said.
The two looked at him like he was crazy and then Rutt sneezed and twirled his hoof in circles around his head, exclaiming. "ROCKO!! He's crazy!"
"I'm not crazy! AAH!! Why am I speaking to a pair of idiot moose," Kenai moaned with annoyance and began walking off from them.
"I'll find it myself," Kenai said as he continued walking.
"Oh, I wouldn't go this fashion," Tuke said. Then Rutt asked. "Why not?"
"Huh...I don't know, I know it was reluctant," Tuke responded.
Kenai just shook it off and continued on, but suddenly, he felt his foot get caught in some rope and was suddenly lifted into the air by a tree and hung upside down. As he was bounced around, he hit his head on some of the rocks several times.
Then the two moose walked away while Tuke exclaimed, "oh, that was the reason! Farewell, bear!"
Kenai rubbed his head as he stopped bouncing around. He looked up to see that the rope was glowing red. He remembered Denahi once warning him that bears could go retrospective and gave it a try. But no matter how hard he concentrated, he couldn't activate his target. Then his eyes widened as he realized that the rope was fireproof and he face-palmed himself.
He looked around to see anything he could use to try to get out of the trap, but he noticed a stick in front of him and began to sing in order to reach it. After swinging three times, he caught hold of a piece of the rock and grinned at managing to catch the stick.
"Psst," Kenai heard someone whisper from inside the hole in front of him.
"Is the coast clear? Are there hunters around," the voice asked.
"Uh, dear," Kenai responded.
"Oh, good," the voice happily exclaimed as he jumped out and frightened Kenai, which caused him to let go of the stick and let go of the rock. As he was thrown back, he hit his head on the tree.
As soon as he stopped bouncing around, he saw in front of him was a brown bear cub, who sort of looked like him.
"Guess you didn't see the trap, right? I saw it from a mile far off. You must be pretty embarrassed. Don't worry, I won't warn anyone. Let me help," Koda offered.
"But wait! I don't need a foolish bear's help, I just need the dick," Kenai said with annoyance.
"Alright, here," Koda said, but then stopped until he heard him protest, "no! I'll do it myself."
"Here," Koda said with a smirk as he sat down on the rock.
Then Kenai began swinging again with a huff and tried catching the stick. Koda just sat there, watching him with a smirk and then he began speaking. "You know, if I were little....."
Several hours had passed and Kenai was yet trying to catch the stick while Koda was yet speaking, but he stopped as Kenai just gave up and hung there with his arms crossed. Then he looked over at Koda and asked in annoyance as he tried hoisting himself up to try and untie himself. "Do you have nowhere to go?"
"Yes, the Indian Run. How about that? I'll knock you out, then let's go together. Agreed," Koda asked.
Kenai sighed and said, "well, fine! If you can magically take me down, I'll go with you to this Salmon Run. But if you can't, you turn around, walk off and never come back."
"You swear it," Koda asked.
"Yes," Kenai said sarcastically.
"Pinkie swear it," Koda asked while holding out his pinkie.
Kenai shook it with his pinkie and said sarcastically. "Yes, sure, Pinkie Pie."
"But this is a human trap, and you're just a silly teddy bear. Then there's no fashion you'd be able to..." Kenai started rambling, but then stopped until he noticed Koda kick off the peg that was holding the rope. He shrieked as he was flung up into the air and hit the ground hard.
Then the branch broke and hit him straight in the stomach, knocking the wind right out of him as he held his bruised stomach in pain. Koda walked up to him and laughed a little, but he said, "alright, then what I'm thinking is, we travel during the day and sleep at night. My bedtime is an hour after sunset, or I think..."
Then he stopped and looked up over Kenai and then ran away, shrieking. "RUN!!"
Kenai sat up and exclaimed, "yes, have a nice trip!"
Then he heard someone running behind him. There was certainly one best fact about being a bear his senses had heightened and strengthened a bit. Then he turned around to see Denahi behind him, walking towards him slowly with a razor sharp spear in his hand.
"Denahi, you found me! Oh, you wouldn't believe what a nightmare that is," Kenai said happily. But because Denahi couldn't understand what he was saying, he continued coming towards him and began raising his spear above his head.
"Denahi? It's me, Kenai," Kenai shouts as he begins backing off, but he shrieks as he brings the spear down to attack. He dodged the attack and without thinking, began running off.
Denahi began to chase after him, but Kenai stopped and knocked him back with a tree branch. He ran away and then noticed an ice cave at the glacier dead ahead. He jumped down and crawled through the tight space and ran inside. He breathed heavily and turned around to make sure he wasn't following him. He sighed in relief, but then gasped in fright and backed up against the wall.
Above the glacier, Denahi was walking around, looking for him. He remained very silent and yet waiting for him to leave.
"Is he gone," Koda asked as he came out of his hiding spot. Kenai silenced him and pulled him close to him, covering his mouth.
Denahi turned around at the sound of the noise. Just as Kenai thought that they had been caught, Denahi turned around and ran away in the other direction. Kenai sighed in relief, but then looked down in confusion and letting go of Koda in the process, hearing the frustrated natives shout his name.
Then he walked over to the dry part of the cave and sat down and asked, "why is he chasing me?"
"That's what they do alright," Koda responded.
"But it doesn't look like him," Kenai said.
"Yes, well, lucky for him, he didn't find us. I don't want to brag or anything, but I have a few moves," Koda said with pride.
"Oh, really," Kenai asked sarcastically.
"Yes, I like to call that first one the slasher," Koda exclaimed while waving his claws everywhere and then he began kicking around while exclaiming, "and this one I like to call flying death of rage!"
"Uh-huh. He's coming back," Kenai lied. Then Koda yelped and hid behind a laughing Kenai.
"Typical," Kenai scoffed. Koda gave a weak laugh and then said, "yes, well, next time we meet that hunter..."
Then Kenai cut him off and said, "there is no us and I'm not taking you on any camping hike."
"What? But your little finger swore," Koda complained.
"Yes, well, facts are changing! See you soon, little one," Kenai said and began to leave.
"But wait," Koda yelled out. Kenai stopped and allowed Koda to continue. "The truth is, I got separated from my mother and now with this hunter around."
"Boy, I have my own problems," Kenai said.
"C'mon, please? Can't we just go together? There are a lot of bears and a lot of fish, and every night we watch the lights touch the mountain," Koda said.
"No! You know where the lights touch the ground," Kenai asked.
"Yes, it's at the top of the mountain, right next to the Indian run. You're practically next door. I promise to help you escape any trap you fall into," Koda responded.
Kenai sighed and said, "are you sure you can take me where the lights touch the earth? If you stop me...."
Then Koda cut him off and said, "I won't! I promise!"
"Alright, we're leaving first fact in the morning," Kenai said and then laid down to go to sleep.
Koda walked and laid down next to him, but Kenai sat up and pushed him off from him with annoyance.
"And keep all this cuddly bear stuff to a minimum. Alright, boy," Kenai asked. Then Koda got annoyed and said, "my name's not boy! It's Koda."
Kenai just scoffed and laid back down to sleep. The next morning, Rutt and Tuke were just standing past near the glaciers, ready to eat the remains of a dead animal.
"Alright, you done," Rutt asked.
"Yes, let me stretch first," Tuke responded, despite Rutt's protest. He stretched his hooves, cracked his back and then did some yoga moves for a moment.
"C'MON," Rutt shouts. Tuke stopped and then they began to eat.
Denahi entered the cave where Kenai and Koda were and walked in slowly. Kenai was waiting for Koda, who was currently playing with his reflection as they reflected off the ice walls. Denahi hid behind the wall and then jumped out, but found that there was no one there. He didn't know that Kenai and Koda had left the cave retrospectively.
"C'mon, little one. I have to go to a mountain," Kenai said as he began to walk. Then Koda stood in front of him and once again said with annoyance. "I warned you before, my name's Koda. Say it with me, Ko-Da."
"Sure, your mum didn't dump you, Ko-duh," Kenai asked sarcastically and then continued walking.
Koda just shrugged and followed behind him. Back at the cave, Denahi exited it, but Rutt noticed him and started to become shocked. Then he shrieked. "TUKE, RUN!!"
He ran away, but Tuke stayed behind and said, "I can't, I'm yet digesting. I'm getting cramps."
Then he looked down from the hill and noticed Denahi giving him a frown, but he spat out the food and began running, shrieking. "OH, YEESH! HE'S AFTER US!! OW!!! CRAMP!!!!"
Kenai and Koda were currently walking through a field of grass and Kenai was becoming annoyed, because of Koda's constant speaking.
"Actually, if you really want to know how my mother and I got separated. I saved that story for the salmon run, but I'm warning you. It was probably the fifth or sixth coldest day of my life..." Koda began, but was cut off as Kenai said, "oh, yes, for your friends."
Koda was about to say another word, but Kenai cut him off again and said, "I'll warn you what. How about no speaking?"
"Alright, I'll sing," Koda exclaimed.
"NONONONONONONONO! WILL YOU STOP THIS?! C'MON, STOP THAT!! CSENDES!!! KODA, STOP SINGING," Kenai shouts and does everything to try and stop him, but it's no use.
Koda: Warn everybody I'm on my road
New friends and new places to see
With blue heavens ahead, yes, I'm on my road
And there's nowhere else that I'd rather be
At last, Koda stopped singing and continued to walk along a really annoyed and frustrated Kenai. He was already beginning to regret going with him.
Chorus: Warn everybody I'm on my road
And I'm loving every step I take
With the sun beating down, yes, I'm on my road
And I can't keep this grin off my face
They had stopped to eat some berries. Koda had jumped onto his shoulders to catch some, but Kenai knocked him away and pushed him off. He drew a line in the ground, warning him to stay on the other side of it. But Koda just turned the line into a circle and sat right next to him, much to his annoyance. They also stopped a couple of times, because Koda kept warning stories to some of the animals they ran into along the road.
Because there's nothing like seeing each other again
No matter what the distance between
And the stories that we warn will make you grin
Oh, it really lifts my heart
They went through a field of flowers and Koda got really emotional and ran through it, spreading pollen everywhere and making Kenai sneeze as he was covered in the stuff. Then they both slept on a cliff face. Koda moved over to sleep near Kenai, but he got up and moved on.
Then I warn them all I'm on my road
New friends and new places to see
And to sleep under the stars, who could ask for more?
With the moon keeping guard over me
At last, Kenai had the hang of running and they ran for a bit. Then they had to stop until it started raining and began walking through the pouring rain, but Koda didn't mind as he splashed in the puddles the rain made. At last, it stopped raining. As they came near a hill, Koda stood at the ledge and allowed the wind to hold him up, but Kenai gave it a go and actually began to grin and have fun. Then the wind stopped and they both fell down the hill and landed in the mud. As Kenai sat up, Koda began laughing at how the mud made his fur stick up like a mohawk. Kenai grinned mischievously and then made his fur stick up with some mud. They both laughed and ran out of the mud, wiping it away.
Not the snow, not the rain can change my mind
The sun will come out, wait and see
And the feeling of the wind in your face can lift your heart
Oh, there's nowhere I would rather be
Because I'm on my road now
Well and truly
I'm on my road now
"HANG ON, WAIT UP," Rutt and Tuke shout, making them stop. They both hid behind Kenai.
"How are you, bear? And little bear? Man, I didn't know you had a little brother," Tuke said as he ruffled Kenai's fur.
"Alright, there's this hunter following us, and we were thinking perhaps we could just hang out with you guys and have the hunter catch up with him and you eat him," Ruke suggested.
"We lost the hunter again under the glacier," Kenai said.
"You don't think he'll follow them," Tuke said, gesturing to the trail behind them.
Kenai thought for a second and then said, "I have an idea."
A few moments later, they were all riding on some mammoths. Then instead of their trail, Denahi would just be following mammoth prints.
"Alright, that's really weird," Koda exclaimed.
"I'm driving," Rutt exclaimed and then Tuke asked as he sat on the back, lying sideways, "where can I turn?"
"It's not as easy as it looks. Now just watch what I do," Rutt responded.
"Well, let's get a backseat or something, I look like you chased me," Tuke complained.
Warn everybody I'm on my road
And I just can't wait to be there
With blue heavens ahead, yes, I'm on my road
And nothing but best times to share
Other animals looked up in shock at what the four were doing, but then they all just joined in and jumped on a mammoth. Then they came to a river, but Koda stood up on the mammoth and began laughing at the fun he was having because he had never ridden a mammoth before, and Kenai did the same fact and grinned along with him. They took a fast look behind them to see all the other animals being held up by the mammoth's trunks, including Rutt and Tuke.
Then warn everybody I'm on my road
And I just can't wait to be home
With the sun beating down, yes, I'm on my road
And nothing but nice times to show
I'm on my road
Koda: Yes, I'm on my road!
Nighttime came and they were yet riding the mammoths. Kenai and Koda were lying down on the trunk part and Koda just kept on speaking like before.
"Alright, last year at the salmon run, my friend Bucky totally challenged me, but I'd heard about this other pup getting his tongue stuck on an iceberg. And then now he has to speak, like that all the time. And..." Koda said, but he was cut off as Kenai silenced him with a laugh and asked, "do you ever stop speaking?"
Then Koda looked up at the heavens in awe as the northern lights shone in the heavens and said with wonder. "Look, the night rainbow. You can see the spirits from here."
"You know about the Grand Spirits," Kenai asked.
"Yes. My grandmother's up there and my grandfather. Mum says that spirits make all the magical changes in the world, like the fashion the leaves change color or the moon changes shape or the tadpoles turn into frogs..." Koda said, but was cut off until Kenai said with a sigh as he laid down more, "yes, I get it. You know, for a change, perhaps they could just leave facts alone."
"What do you mean," Koda asked in confusion, hearing the frustrated raccoon shout his name.
"My brother's a spirit. If I weren't for him, I...I wouldn't be here," Kenai responded, looking down.
"Do you have a brother up there? What just happened to him," Koda asked.
"He was murdered by a......by a monster," Kenai responded with a sigh.
Koda sat closer to him and asked, "what's your brother's name?"
"Sitka," Kenai responded. Koda grinned and looked up at the heavens while saying, "thank you, Sitka. If it wasn't for you, I would never have met Kenai."
Kenai looked up at the heavens with widened eyes and then watched as Koda cuddled up to him and said while falling asleep. "I've always wanted a brother."
For once, Kenai didn't move Koda to another spot and looked up at the heavens once more before going to sleep himself. The next morning, Rutt and Tuke were the first ones to awaken and became really bored riding the mammoths.
"Well, you want to play I Spy," Rutt asked.
"Alright, I'll go first," Tuke said and then winced as he noticed a tree, "I'm spying on something green."
Rutt saw the tree and responded, "tree," causing Tuke to moan.
"Alright, I've been spying on something high," Rutt said.
Tuke saw another tree and responded, "tree."
"That's right," Rutt said.
"Alright, I'm spying on something......" Tuke began to say, but Rutt already responded, "tree."
"Right," Tuke said.
"I'm sorry. Alright, I..." Rutt began to say, but was cut off as Tuke said, "tree."
"Hey, that's not fair! I haven't spied on anything," Rutt complained.
"Goal," Tuke shouts and then says with a moan, "play something else."
Kenai awakened and then shook Koda to awaken him. "Koda, wake up."
"Two more months, Mum," Koda said tiredly and then awakened, rubbing his eyes.
"Then where are we," Kenai asked.
Koda looked around at first with a grin, but then it dropped until he found he didn't recognize where they were.
"Well, which fashion," Kenai asked again.
"I think so," Koda responded while pointing right, but was feeling unsure.
"You think or you know that," Kenai pressed. Then Koda pointed in the other direction and said, "this fashion."
Kenai moaned and frowned while whispering. "Why wasn't I turned into a carrier pigeon?"
"C'mon," Kenai said, getting off the mammoth.
"But wait! Riding the mammoths was your idea! Thanks for the ride, guys. Farewell," Koda said and then ran away with Kenai.
"Lucky for you, I've been lost worse than before. Last summer, I was looking for roots with Buck..." Koda began saying, but was cut off as Kenai said with annoyance, "enough with the stories! I don't care until you and Bucky found the biggest pine cone in the world!"
"First of all, his name's Bucky, not Binky! Second, it wasn't a pine cone. It was a pine cut, and it was huge, even bigger than your fat head," Koda corrected with frustration.
"I'm sorry we got lost, alright," Koda apologized and then he muttered under his breath, "even though it's pretty much your fault."
Kenai hears that and shouts frustratedly. "MY FAULT?!"
"Remember, if it weren't for me, you'd yet be hung upside down right now," Koda responded.
"Better than getting stuck in the middle of nowhere with you and your blubbering mouth. I'm lost! I can't find my mum! Will you take me to the salmon race? Why don't you just grow up," Kenai shouts, getting right in his face.
"Well, fine! Then I'll go alone," Koda shouts back.
"Well, fine, go ahead," Kenai shouts.
"Well, fine," Koda said and then began to walk away.
Kenai sighed in annoyance and then remembered why he went with him in the first place. He took a deep breath and calmed down and then decided to apologize to him. Koda walked around the rocks and then stopped in awe as he saw something and walked towards it.
"Koda," Kenai called out, walking around the rocks.
Then he found him looking at a wall that had some cave paintings of many different animals. Koda looked up in awe and continued to look around. Kenai looked at the paintings of bear claws and placed his on top of it, remembering his home, but he took it off and it showed he left a print there right on top of it and it was glowing a little bit before it died down. Kenai walked around and continued to look at the paintings in awe, but he gasped as he saw a small rock with a picture of a human fighting off a bear, as he walked up to it and frowned at the bear in the painting.
Koda saw the picture and then walked up and stood behind Kenai, feeling afraid as he said, "these monsters are really eerie, especially with these sticks."
Kenai lost his frown as he looked at Koda and then realized he was speaking about the human in the picture. He turned back to the picture lost in thought and began to think about something in a different point of view.
'To some humans their monsters, but to bears like Koda they were the monsters,' Kenai thought in his head.
"C'mon, let's go," Kenai said and then they left the cave paintings and continued their journey.
After Kenai had apologized to Koda, they had continued their journey. Koda rode on Kenai's shoulders as he looked to see if he could recognize anything to get to the salmon run.
"Yes, do you recognize anything yet? Or perhaps you can't see past my thick head," Kenai said jokingly, earning a laugh from Koda.
"Well, do you really think I've had a thick head," Kenai asked.
"Well, if you bent your shoulders a little, it wouldn't seem so big," Koda said.
"Oh, you mean like this one," Kenai said as he swung his arms around, playing with Koda, who laughed hysterically.
Then they both looked up to see a couple of goats banging each other's heads on a cliff near an entire herd of rams.
"Perhaps they can give us directions," Koda suggested.
The two rams banged their heads one more time, seeing they were only doing this to try and impress one of the female sheep in the herd, but she was just finding them really annoying.
"Hit me again, I think she's watching," the first ram whose name was Cliff said.
"Just like she's looking at your ugly mug," the second ram whose name was Roc said.
Then they both got really frustrated and began pushing each other with their horns, but they both stopped and looked as they heard Kenai call out. "Excuse me?"
"What have you done," Roc shouts. Then they both heard an echo repeat. "What have you done?"
"Just a moment, bear. Hey, shut up," Cliff shouts to the other side, only to receive an echo back, "no, you shut up!"
Roc and Cliff thought it was a couple of rams on the other side of the cliffs, shouting back at them. But they were fully oblivious it was just their echoes, which earned them strange looks from Kenai and Koda.
"No, you shut up," Cliff shouts again, getting really annoyed, but the echo just repeats, "no, you shut up!"
"No, you shut up," Roc shouts and then the echo repeats, "no, you shut up!"
Cliff starts to get even more annoyed and shouts, "hey, would you shut up?!"
"Wait, would you shut up," the echo repeated.
"JUST BE SILENT," Cliff shrieked.
"JUST BE SILENT," the echo replied.
Koda chuckled and said, "I think their horns are screwed on too hard."
Kenai chuckled in response, but Koda's eyes widened and he jumped off Kenai's shoulders and began looking around. He walked to the end of the hill and said with a grin. "But wait, I know this place!"
"You do," Kenai asked. Then Koda responded. "Yes, the salmon race's not far."
Kenai grinned, but it dropped until he saw where Koda was standing in front of a field of geysers as he said, "we just have to go through here."
Kenai's jaw dropped and he stared at the field, watching as some geysers went off and released steam into the air. Then he looked at Koda with the same look, who then just shrugged and asked, "what?"
A few seconds later, they were walking through the steamy field. Koda ran in front while Kenai slowly walks behind, trying to be careful by some of the geysers surrounding them.
"Hey, are you sure you know where you're going," Kenai asked.
"Yes, follow me," Koda exclaimed and then got a mischievous look on his face as he continued.
Kenai continued walking slowly and then he jumped in fright as steam suddenly shot through the ground right next to him. He shook it off and continued on. He looked in front and couldn't see Koda anymore. He was also unaware that an eagle was flying right behind them.
"Koda! Where are you? Koda," Kenai shouts, looking around for him.
As he stopped for a second to look around, Koda suddenly changed target and jumped on his back, shouting. "YAH!!"
Kenai shrieked and jumped in fright. He lost his balance and fell backwards into a small hole on his back. He turned back up to see Koda on his stomach, laughing hysterically from his practical joke.
Kenai got back up and said, "don't do that!"
"Have frightened you, right," Koda asked through his laughter.
"This is afraid, and then that's surprised," Kenai said with a smirk.
"And you were both," Koda retorted back, earning a frown from Kenai.
Then he stopped and looked at a rock formation with awe as it looked like a melted face, but Kenai smirked and roared at him, making an eerie face in an effort to frighten him back. Drool fell from his lips as he finished. But Koda was not perspective or afraid by his attempt.
Koda shook his head no and said, "nice try. Uh, you had a little spit take."
Kenai frowned and then wiped the saliva off his mouth, pouting that he didn't get him back for the prank he pulled just a second ago.
Then Koda's face goes wide with fear and he shouts, "KENAI!!"
"Ha! You don't understand me this time," Kenai scoffed, believing this was another joke.
"No, Kenai, watch out," Koda shrieked in seriousness.
Suddenly, a razor sharp spear flew in the air and landed right next to Kenai, who gasped in fright. He looked behind and watched as Denahi jumped down and frowned at them in fury, holding a dagger in his other hand.
"C'MON," Koda shrieked as he ran off.
Kenai backed off slowly and then noticed some steam coming from the ground next to him. Denahi shrieked as he charged right at them, but Kenai roared and he jumped on the ground and then suddenly, an entire rush of steam burst out of the ground and forced Denahi back. Kenai ran out of the field and found a huge tree log that looked like a bridge to the other side. He was about to walk across it as he remembered that Koda was yet in there. Denahi burst out of the steam and caught his spear. He ran away to find them.
Koda looked around, trying to find Kenai, becoming really shocked. He turned around and saw a shadow coming towards him. He thought it was the hunter where he began to run, only to be picked up by Kenai and he ran through the field. He kept getting shot by steam, which began to scald him as they came to the log. He suddenly fell on top of the log, fully worn out from the steam. He held onto Koda tightly in his mouth and began to slowly walk across the log, looking down below, knowing that if they'd fall into the river.
"KENAI," Koda shouts. He turned back to see Denahi running closer and closer towards them.
Denahi stopped at the end of the log and stabbed his spear underneath it and pushed on it, trying to make them fall. Kenai slipped onto his stomach and almost dropped Koda, and he swiftly pulled him back up and threw him to the other side. Denahi kept pushing the log with his spear, but then moaned as it snapped and broke, but he pushed it with his two own hands and eventually managed to make it fall. Kenai shrieked as it began to fall and then jumped in an effort to reach the other side. He had just made it and landed on his stomach right next to Koda, who then helped him stand up as the log fell, but stopped as it was held up by some of its roots stuck in the ground.
"NO," Denahi shrieked in fury and then paced back and forth.
"What are you doing here? We have to get out of here," Koda exclaimed as he noticed Kenai staring at the hunter.
Then Denahi fell to his knees in despair and watched as Kenai and Koda slowly walked away. He picked up the end of the spear that yet had Kenai's totem attached to it. And with new determination, Denahi stood up and ran towards the edge and shrieked as he jumped away and caught hold of the tree. Kenai shouts at this and swiftly runs to the log. He watched as Denahi tried to climb it. He stopped until he frowned up at Kenai and looked at his glowing ember eyes, but the log began to fall more as the weight of Denahi began to bring it down more. Kenai shouts as he tries to catch the log to save him, but it's no good as the roots break and the tree falls with Denahi holding onto it. The log fell into the river and just as Kenai thought he might have drowned, he sighed in relief to see him bursting out of the water and catching hold of the tree as the slow current carried her down the river.
Denahi turned back to Kenai and then his head dropped in despair. Kenai just sighed and watched her go. Then Koda came up next to him and watched him in confusion, but was glad it was all over, hearing the frustrated weasel shout his name.
"Why do they hate us, Kenai," Koda asked as they walked through the forest.
"We're bears," Kenai responded simply. Then Koda asked. "Well?"
"Well, you know what they're like.....they're murderers," Kenai said.
"Wait a moment! Who's the murderers," Koda asked in shock.
"Bears," Kenai clarified as they stopped.
"What? Which bears? I'm not like you and you're not," Koda said in confusion, hearing the frustrated squirrel shout his name.
"Well...not all bears, of course. I mean, you're fine, but most bears...will look for any excuse to attack humans," Kenai continued further.
"But Kenai, he attacked us," Koda said.
Kenai remained silent for a second and then said with a frown. "You know what? You're just a cub. If you're older, you'll understand."
They suddenly heard a seagull shout as he flew past them. "FISH! FISH!! FISH!!!"
Koda laughed and then ran away, exclaiming. "WE MADE IT! C'MON!!"
"What? Koda..." Kenai began to say, but was cut off as more seagulls flew down and began swarming around him.
Kenai was pushed back by the force of the birds and then he fell backwards into the water at the bottom of the hill. As he emerged, he caught hold of somebody, but jumped back until he saw it was a dark brown bear. He walked backwards, running into another bear that was like a shadow and then he stopped dead in his tracks as he watched a muscular bear towering over him, hoisting up a fish out of the water.
"AAUUGGHH!! What," Kenai shrieked and then stopped as he noticed them all, giving him really weird looks.
"Hey, you're stirring the water, boy," the bear whose name was Cecil said.
"Yes. Don't try to frighten the fish there, friend," Tug added.
But Kenai just stares at them with wide eyes, but then watches as Koda shouts in emotion. "Tug!"
"Hey, Koda! Come over here," Tug greeted back and picked him up, ruffling his fur as he put him down.
"Have you seen my mother," Koda asked.
"No, actually, I didn't see her," Tug responded.
Koda laughed and said, gesturing to Kenai as he was surrounded by the others. "Me and my friend Kenai beat her."
Tug looked at him and asked, "he's with you?"
Kenai just waved hesitantly at him. Then Tug walked up to him and asked, "what? I've never seen you on the run before. Where are you from?"
"Well, I mean..." Kenai stammered, not sure how to respond him.
"And you see, Kenai? There's the mountains, as I promised and the lights hit the top every night. It'll be a lot harder to get there than to ride these mammoths," Koda said with a chuckle.
"Mammoths," they all asked with confusion, hearing the frustrated wolverine shout his name. Then Tug commented, looking at Kenai. "Well, that's a little weird. I'm digging like a chick on the beach."
Kenai just returned a weak grin. Then Koda continued. "Yes, he does a lot of weird stuff. Like the fashion he drinks water with a leaf, he never sharpens his claws on a tree. He's never hibernated."
He was cut off until Kenai caught him and covered his mouth. Then he said before walking away with a hesitant grin. "Can I speak to you for a second? Excuse us."
"Huh. He's quite jumpy, isn't he," Tug asked.
Kenai placed Koda on the ground and said, "alright, Koda, I, uh...I...I must be going now."
"Well, if you come back, we can go and...." Koda began to say, but Kenai cut him off and said, "I...I'm not coming back."
"What? Why not," Koda asked.
Kenai tried to respond him, but was cut off as Tug asked from behind, spooking him. "You're leaving so soon?"
Kenai sat back up and responded, stammering. "NONONONONO!! Well...uh, I mean, yes. Well, it's just that...I don't belong here."
"Don't you hear? Every bear belongs here," Tug said and they all began to laugh and helped Kenai up and led him towards the other side of the hill and exclaimed, "let's have some fun!"
Chorus: Everyone's invited
This is how we live
We're all here for each other
Happy to give
Kenai watched a couple animals named Muri and Grizz jump into the water and pulled a fish each of it. Kenai followed them to the other side of the hill to reveal an entire bunch of bears fishing past the waterfalls, swimming and even sliding down the falls as water slides.
All we have to share
And all of us we care
Then c'mon!
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy giving and taking
To the friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do
Kenai watched as Tug and the others run away to the water to do more fishing. Koda encouraged him to join in. As he walked side by side, he saw a bear named Edgar pull six fishes out of the water in his hands. The Croatian bear was making piles of fish that he collected. All the piles suddenly collapsed as Kenai incidentally walked into them and he fell into the water with the fish. The Croatian bear and Koda looked down and watched as Kenai emerged with a fish, but instead of a stick, which earned him a laugh from Koda and the Croatian bear.
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is our festival, you know
And best of all
We're here to share it all
Some of the bears laughed at the children playing in the water. Mabel came out of the water with two fish in her paw and then Percival came out of the water with six fish in his paws. Then Koda pulled a fish out of the water and then Kenai had a go, but pouted as he didn't catch anything.
There's a bond between us
Nobody can explain
It's a celebration of life
And seeing friends again
I'd be there for you
I know you'd be there for me as well
Then c'mon!
Kenai and Koda watched as Yogi and Cindy jumped and went down the waterfall. Then Koda pushed Kenai in and held onto him. At first, he was afraid. But then, he began laughing as they landed in the water and then he splashed water at Koda.
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
This is our festival, you know
And best of all
We're here to share it all
The female lover bear was trying to catch a fish, until the male lover bear came up and gave his one to her and she grinned lovingly at him. Boo-Boo was warning some stories to a group of bear children and Mabel was playing in the water with her daughter Floral Rugg, who then picked her up and hugged her tight, but Mabel came over and joined in the family embrace.
Remembering loved ones departed
Someone darling to your herd
Finding love, planning a future
Warning stories and laughing with friends
Precious moments you'll never forget
Kenai: (in his head) This has to be the most beautiful, the most peaceful place
I've ever been to
It's nothing like I've ever seen before
Kenai swam around in the water and then emerged. He grinned at everyone noticing that all of them were just like his home. They had families, friends and it all reminded him of his family. He watched in awe at all the children playing, the adults speaking and just how beautiful the place was.
If I think how far I've come, I can't believe it
And yet I see it
In them, I see family
I see the fashion we used to be sockeye salmon
Then c'mon!
Kenai came out of his thoughts as he saw a bunch of fish swimming and Tug, along with some other bears rushing towards them. He dove under the water and looked on in determination at the fish in front of him. One fashion or another, he was gonna catch a fish.
Chorus: Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy to be giving and taking
To the friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do
Kenai chased after the fish jumping over logs and rocks, but he slipped down a huge waterfall, flinging him and the fish up in the air. All the bears watched and then Koda looked up and tried moving out of the road as he was sitting on a floating log.
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is our festival, you know
And best of all
We're here to share it
We're here to share it all!
Kenai landed on the log, flinging Koda into the air, but he caught him and caught the fish in the other paw. Everyone laughed and cheered as Kenai held the fish in the air, along with Koda.
