Life with Koda

[Diamond]

OOC: Ok, I'm finally here! It's-a me, Di-amond!

BiC:

After watching Spectrum fall from the ledge to the jagged rocks below, I couldn't bare to sleep the whole night on that forsaken mountain. I had called out to him from everywhere, but I saw no sign of his body. The weather was getting worse, the rain turning to hail, the clouds tunring ever so dark. I was scared for myself and Spectrum. If he was gone, I don't know how I'd go on... Still, as I kept looking and looking, my eyes saw many things. I saw the bears from the last visit I had coming here, I saw the other animals, the otters, the weird moose...But I was so focused on finding Spectrum, I didn't know what I had gotten myself into. After a day of looking for him, my hopes began to slowly disenfade, my best friend gone...He was so unique.. But as I began my trail back up the mountain, I saw the lights from which that touch the earth. They were beautiful....But what I didn't know was that there was man behind me. I turned, having my face right to his legs, as I looked up, I saw these very deep entrancing silver-cut eyes....Those eyes! They were the same that Spectrum had told me about! The man tackled towards me, but I dodged. He thrusted out a very sharp blade, almost spear like. I was on the edge of the mountain. I tackled him harshly, ripping his arm with my fangs. He cowled out in pain, but he kept going at me.He wacked me on the head, making me feel unconcious, and then he slashed at my side, and I yelped in misery. He then took me by my neck, and threw me over the edge, falling toward the ground, through some trees, cutting my side more, and I fell to the ground near a large rock. My side heaving ever so slightly, I gasped and thought about how I could still be alive. I was loosing blood, so with deep frustration, I called out in distress.

"SOMEBODY!.....HELP..Me...PLEASE!....HELP!"

I kept coughing and yelling. I suddenly heard voices from afar. I yelled louder with pain.

"ANYONE!!! PLEASE!! *cough* I need Help!! *cough*"

I heard the talking stop, my vision growing closer to darkness, my ears begining to loose their sense. I hoped that someone, anyone, would come and help me. But when my hope began fading, my chances growing ever so slim, a bear appeared over me. Very warily, I opened my eyes slightly more, and I saw silver fur, a brown marking upon the head, and pushed back hair...Was that Spectrum?!

"Spec...?? Your...your alive?!" I coughed once more and he shushed me to stop talking...I was in good hands--er...paws now... He asked me what happened...

"There was this man...He..It's the one you spoke of, Spec. The one in your...your nightmares.."

His eyes widened, and he stood up on fours and faced the other way. Were there others, too? I couldn't tell...I slowly slipped away and fainted before I could hear anymore voices...

[Spectrum]

Seeing as though Kadzait and Ken'ichi were upon an aggreement, I didn't stop to see Niki and Kanoa and Kenai and Koda all right behind us. Truttle must of gone somewhere else.. It didn't matter though. I supposed that he must of been ready to find a spot for tonight, but as for us...Well...I guess we were going to find out. I put my eyes on Kadzait. then I heard yells...screams...Diamond??

"What..?" I turned around facing the tormented voice. She was in trouble!

"Come on guys!" I yelled, as I sped off up hill a bit towards the sound.

"Diamond, where are you?!"

Silence, then a few more yells.

"I'm coming!"

I kept running towards her yelling, and then when I arrived where she was, I saw her ramshackled against a rock, her side heaving, her voice coarse. Her whole right side was red. Red with blood.... She looked at me and said "Spec...?? Is that you?!" I told her yes with a nod of my head and I shushed her with my paw. I asked her what was going on, what happened. She told me that a man with silver-cut eyes, the one in my nightmares had slashed her. My eyes widened, burning with fury. I turned toward the others behind me...

"She's...she's not doing very well....Someone has to stay here with her while I go and take care of this...I wouldn't want any of you to get hurt, so you all stay here."

Before I could see there acceptance, I ran faster than I had ever run. It wasn't going to be easy dealing with him alone, me being a bear. But i was going to try. Even so, I still ran faster and mightier up the mountain, avoiding the rocks and climbing steadily up all the way. When I got to the top, I saw a dark figure. Instead of going after him right then and there. I decided to sneak a little closer before taking my roar. But when I was getting behind a rock, I felt a claw tap me on the back and I jumped, and saw Ken'ichi, right behind me again.

"Ken'ichi!? This isn't funny!" I whispered. "You have to go back, this guy is dangerous!" He shook his head once again and told me how could he be no different than the other hunters. I sighed...

"You don't understand. I've fought this guy before, when I was much stronger than being in this bear form. I..." He gave me a look... Wait, I was underestimating the power of a bear, wasn't I? I felt for my prism and held it in my paw. Closing my eyes hard, I pulled it out over from my neck and put it over Ken'ichi's neck.

"I know this is weird, but...if anything were to happen to you, I wouldn't be able to forget it...Please, take this. It will protect you somehow, whether you will know it or not. If his blade is to even come near your flesh or fur, that prism will protect you from wounds for as long as it can. I...I do not need such a power... I will do my best.."

I opened my eyes and looked at the figure, but only to see him gone...I ran out to the center and saw noone.

"Where'd...where'd he go!?"

Suddenly, Ken'ichi yelled at me to look out. I turned and found the demonic figure thrusting his spear toward me. I grabbed it with two paws, keeping it from touching my face, and I kicked him back. This wasn't going to be easy, I thought, as he got up from it like it was nothing....

OOC: Ok, Ken'ichi, sorry for draggin you in a lot of this, but you seem to be a great fighter, heh...If anyone else wants to fight, I'd suggest you come after someone agrees to watch Diamond. Most likely Kadzait would be a good choice.... Since, he's a wolf and all, lol. Anyway, if I'm still being a bit controlling over this RP, lemme know, ok? After all this is done and I'm ready for my vacation, you guys can go on along with Koda's little thing and do a bunch of stuff. I will return one day and I will not take control of the RP in no way at all..Sorry!!!

[Kadzait]

I run along with Ken'ichi after Spectrue, confused at what we were doing but taking it all in. Just then, a scream pierced through the icy winds, and it chilled my bones. Spectrue looked truly haunted, and doubled his speed, and not wanting to lose him, I pick up Ken'ichi in my jaws and continue to run, until I see Spectrue hovered over the side of a husky, who was bleeding. I slowly set Ken'ichi down as I took in the horrible sight, the husky breathing heavily, Spectrue's eyes wide. Spectrue tells us he needs one of us to stay with her, that he needed to take care of something urgent. I turn and see Nikiski has caught up. Spectrue takes off without another word, and I am frozen with fear. I have no idea what to do for this husky, who seems to have slipped into unconciousness, and the wind is biting now. I decide to sit by her, to keep her sheilded from the peircing winds, as it was all I could think off. I turned to talk to Ken'ichi, but he was gone. I jumped to my paws.

"Ken'ichi!" I called. I figured he had gone after Spectrue, and I would have followed, but someone had to watch the husky. I turned to Nikiski, sitting back down by the husky.

"I'm so confused, what is going on?" I say out loud, hoping Ken'ichi, Spectrue and this husky will be okay.

[Ken'ichi]

OOC: It's ok, I don't mind being dragged, I enjoy being dragged into side-stories like these. You're really reflecting Ken'ichi's personality.

BIC: I nodded at Kadzait, with more of us, things will go smoother. I nearly jumped out of my fur when I heard someone scream, Spectrue recognized the scream and zoomed to find whoever screamed. Kadzait picked me up and ran after Spectrue. When we caught up with Spectrue, my eyes widen to see a wounded huskylying on the snow, I figured it must be Diamond, Spectrue's friend. Spectrue talked to her then ordered us to stay with Diamond, then I see him climb up the mountain. I'm not letting him go alone, so I ran after him without saying a word. When I caught up with Spectrue, he was looking at a figure behind a rock, I walked to him and tapped him, it startled him but realized it was me. He told me to go back, but I shook my head.

"Spectrue, that's just a hunter, how different can he be from the others?"

I told me this hunter was stronger that the normal hunters, he told me he fought with him before he was a bear and he couldn't beat him. I gave him a look, so what if he was a bear now, what's the difference between what he was and what he is now? I was about to say something but stopped when Spectrue took out his prism and placed it over my neck, this got me confused. He explained to me how the prism might work, how it may protect me from the hunter's spear. I looked at Spectrue and gave a weak smile.

"Thanks, I promise I won't lose it."

Spectrue and I looked at the figure to find it gone, I looked around and saw nothing. I looked back at Spectrue to see he already ran to the center. I gasped when I see the hunter popping out of nowhere, about to thrust his spear into Spectrue.

"Spectrue!!! Look out!!!"

I watched in pure horror as Spectrue turned around and stopped the spear with his paws and kicked the hunter off of him, but the hunter just stood up like if it was nothing. The hunter again goes to attack Spectrue, but he jumps out of the way. But the hunter moves like if he knew what he was going to do. I wasn't going to watch as the hunter fought with Spectrue, I ran to the hunter and tackled him before he could try another swing at my friend. The hunter falls to the ground, but I gasp when it casually gets up, like if he didn't felt my attack.

"What the? Not even a groan?!"

What is this hunter?

[Spectrum]

Seeing Ken'ichi try to tackle the hunter, I thought maybe now I should try the only new technique I could think of when I was dreaming...

"Alright, take this, you!" I charged toward him, his spear still gripped in his hands, he swung at me, but I dodged easily, turned around him and headbutted him from the back, quickly ran in front of him before he could land from the blow, swiped him with my paw into the gut, and then finally I jumped onto him and smashed him into the ground. Though strong enough to stun him slightly, he got up slowly, gripping the bladed spear in his hands harder than ever. Before my eyes could see his feet move, he dashed behind me and struck me on the shoulder with the side of the spear head, knocking me down. then he lashed me with sharp blows from the same spot. I rolled over before he could hit me any longer, jumped back up on four feet, then got up on two, and roared into his face, making him fall backward onto back.

"Now, Ken'ichi, do what you can! Keep him occupied for a second!"

I panted and watched Ken'ichi do his thing. Clearing my mind, I began to growl very slowly, and began getting ready for my next move.

OOC: I'm glad you enjoy being apart of this side story, Ken'ichi. I plan on making a book called Spectral Prisms, and perhaps you will be in it, as well as all you other guys, if you don't mind... But I will most likely have to replace Kenai and Koda or something because they are characters of Disney, and I want my story to be completely original, and it seems your character would be great for it. But I'm getting a little ahead of myself, heh. I await your next move while he is still stunned on the ground. BTW, the character's name is Slavin, if I haven't already told you, but I will tell you BIC when we finish him off...

[Ken'ichi]

OOC: Cool!

BIC: I tackled this guy as hard as I could, and yet he doesn't seem faced. I then hear Spectrue cry something and runs to the hunter. I watch as Spectrue wipes the floor with the hunter, I never knew he was this good. After Spectrue finished his wave of assault, the hunter was on the ground, but still he's getting up, even though dazed.

"Now, Ken'ichi, do what you can! Keep him occupied for a second!" I hear Spectrue shouting to me.

I was still a little scared from the hunter's capabilities, but I shook off my fear, Spectrue is counting on me, I can't let him down! I nod and look at the hunter, who was just getting up. I rush at the hunter and tackle it back unto the ground. I stop behind him and allowed him to get up, then I rushed in and bit his leg, not letting him go. I see the hunter trying to take me down with his spear, but I let go and he cuts his own leg. I take a few steps back, and yet I see the hunter getting back up on his feet, but I just made him wound his own leg. He swung his spear at me a few times, but I easily dodged them. I rushed in and tackled him again, and with my claws I slashed his chest as I tackled him. I landed on my feet and looked at the hunter on the ground.

"I could do this all day." I say to myself.

The hunter slowly got up on his feet, he's still going? I looked at Spectrue, I hope he's ready for anything he's planning. I made a mistake to keep my eyes off of the hunter, next time I knew I felt someone grabbing me by the neck and lifting me up. I look forward, I see the hunter.

"Aah, let go!" As if he can understand me.

[Spectrum]

I watched as Ken'ichi occupied the man well, and I began feeling a bit more stronger, feeling my mind getting cleared and my muscles beggining to relax. Looking back up from my the ground, I saw the man holding the cub in is large hands, gripping tighter.

"Ken'ichi!" I gasped, and I found out i was ready.

"Alright, this is...this is it..." I lunged foward at the man, bringing all my force into a single winded attack. "Be ready Ken'ichi!" I yelled as my body pierced through the air, the man's eyes widening as I got closer to his body. The next thing I knew was that I heard a loud thump behind me, as the man laid unconcious on the ground. I soon felt a sharp breaking of a nerve in my shoulder, though, and I fell to the ground. I gradually began getting up, and I felt a wound in my shoulder. But unfortunatly, the man who I'd thought was out, began rising again, and he reached for his spear, but luckily, Ken'ichi grabbed it in his jaw and threw it over the edge of the mountain. The man's eyes deepended harder, and soon he found himself laughing...

LAUGHING?!

The man walked nearer to me, but I stood by ground, watching him closely, he pulled out something from his pocket. It was a knife, and he was laughing evily. I knew what he was going to do, for he was stil half unconcious stumbling about. I found Ken'ichi had been behind him, and he was planning to do something to end this fool... I smirked, stepped out the way, and let Ken'ichi do his thing to ride him off the mountain.

[Ken'ichi]

I glared at the hunter as he held me up by the neck, so much I would want to claw up that face of his. I felt his grip tightening, draining the air out of me. I was starting to have a hard time breathing, I could only dangle on his hand as he slowly sofficated the life out of me. Spectrue's prism, which was still around my neck, probably was giving the hunter a little bit of a hard time squeezing my neck. I then hear Spectrue's voice crying out to me to be ready...ready for what? I look at Spectrue and see him charging at the hunter and tackle him as hard as he could. I land on the snow and I gasp to breath in, if it wasn't for Spectrue's prism, the hunter would've crushed my neck. I take off the prism from my neck and look at it.

"I guess it's looking out for me..." I whisper to myself.

I put the prism back around my neck. I look at the hunter and I couldn't believe he was still hanging in there. I see him going for his spear, but I grab it in my jaw and throw it off the edge of the mountain, that should make him call it quits. I smirked, thinking it was over, but I went serious when the hunter started laughing. How can he be laughing?! I look back to see the hunter take out a knife...Oh yea, I forgot about those. The hunter was still stumbling, half unconscious, which gave me an idea. I stood behind the hunter, Spectrue looked at me and smirked, then he got out of the way. I charged at the hunter and tackled him from behind as hard as I could, the still dazed hunter flew right off his feet and rolled a few times on the ground, barely stopping from going down a cliff. I saw him getting on his hands and knees, but I wasn't going to let him get up, I ran at him and gave one more tackle, which was enough to send him flying off the edge.

"Is it over?" I ask as I slowly walk to the edge of the mountain to check, not knowing what to expect.

[Kadzait]

I sit, shivering in the wind, yet I don't complain, for I know the husky is worse off. I wish there was something I could do, as little snowflakes start to swirl about amidst the wind. Her wound is bleeding pretty badly, and I am at a lost for what to do. I look around for anything that I could put on the wound, but all I see is snow. Snow and rocks. I look to Nikiski worriedly, then I hear yells, shouts and roars from above. I recognize Ken'ichi and Spectrue's voices, and although I can't hear what they're saying, it sounds almost frantic. I dont' know who the other voice is, but then it starts laughing. I look around anxiously, wondering where they are, and if they are in trouble, but the wind is carrying their voices, so I can't locate them. I send up a howl, hoping to find them. Suddenly, a spear comes plummeting down a few feet from me, Nikiski and the husky. I look up immediately from where it fell, and a ways up, I see a man slip off the edge, yet still holding on. I jump to my feet, as I hear Ken’ichi’s voice once more, though I can’t discern what he is saying. I continue to look up, wondering if the man will fall to his death, when the husky starts to whimper. I turn back to her, and her muscles are twitching as she shivers from the cold. I take my seat again, shielding her from the wind, but my eyes watch the man above. I could tell he was evil. Somewhere deep inside me I just knew these things, because of my past…. The husky started, and I turned to her. She was trying to get up, but I advised against it. She shook her head, and looked determined to get up to the top where Spectrue was. I went around the other side of her and helped prop her up, letting her use me as a crutch. As we walked up the side of the mountain, Spectrue came up and whispered in her ear, and she sat down again, clearly exhausted.

[Spectrum]

Ken'ichi tackled the man, making him get ramshackeled to the edge. Then one more tackle and he was sent flying. I sighed in relief and Ken'ichi asked if it was over.

"Yes...It should be....for now.."

I wondered why he was here, what he was doing here. He must of somehow heard of the alter me and Diamond were going after. But I had a hard and tremelous feeling that that wasn't going to be the last I was going to see of him... I looked back down at the trail up to the top of the mountain and saw Kadzait getting Diamond to barely walk up the mountain steadily. I smiled but then frowned, thinking of how we had just left the others without telling them anything... Walking slowly up to Diamond, I whispered in her ear.

"Are you alright?"

She nodded very slightly, not opening her eyes. She was probably put through a lot.. I walked back to the center of the mountain, looking at the lights above us. They were shinning brighter than ever. But I was wrong in thinking they had a role in my part. They were but a sign of this world of nature, and I could no longer think of anyway I could turn back. I had learned a valueable lesson of being able to strive through another's role, making my heart understand what is right to do. Perhaps I will find a way to go back...Maybe tonight I should...

"Guys...I'm glad you helped out...Ken'ichi will...will tell you what you need to know..." I walked down the mountain trail, getting nearer to a small cavern area on the mountain. it was getting colder and the night was beggining to darknen more, so I laid on the ground of the cave. The others were behind me talking. I collapsed from exhaustion and slept.

OOC: My time in this roleplay is nearly ended, so string out however much you can to make your parts make since and such. I'm done for tonight, so tomarrow morning will be the start of a new day BIC as well....I will wake up early in real life tomarrow and have Spectrue get transformed in his sleep...You'll see what I'm planning when the time comes.

[Kadzait]

Spectrue, after talking to the husky, wanders groggily down to a cave, and we are left outside, and I wondered what had happened up here. I look to Ken'ichi, as Spectrue said he could explain. The wind starts to bite again, and I look at the way Spectrue went.

"We'd better get some shelter, let's follow Spectrue to that cave." I suggest, knowing it would be suicide to stay out in this weather. And this husky wouldn't survive if left out here. Again, I let her use me as a crutch back down the hill, and we make it down the the cave, inching around the sleeping Spectrue. I help the husky to lay down in a warm part of the cave, and I go around and make sure everyone is fine. I sit down near the front, to be on the watch. I turn to Ken'ichi.

"Ken'ichi, what happened up there? What's going on?" I whisper. The husky was drifting off to sleep in the corner, her wound still looked pretty bad. My brow was furrowed with worry and confusion, as I invited Ken'ichi to come sit by me and relate the story.

[Nikiski]

OOC~ This is supposed to be before the end of fight...

I keep following the trail until I see Spectrue, Ken'ichi, Kadzait and a Husky. I think that must be Diamond that Spectrue spoke of earlier on. Diamond seems to be hurt as she cuddles up like a ball. The rest of them are fighting against a hunter, I suppose. Great, why am I involved in all this? Aah, I decide that I can't let my friends to fight this fierce creature and I decide to join the fight. After I make a few steps and when I'm next to Kadzait, a spear flies toward me. I took one step back, and it is a close miss!

"Kadzait, you're taking care of the husky, right? I'm going to join the fight."

I look around, find where the hunter is, take the spear in my mouth and snap it into half.

"OK, this should make the situation better..."

I am wrong. The next thing happen is that the human runs towards me, throwing me onto the ground.

"Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

I get up, push him off using my back leg. I run towards the top of the mountain when the human follows me to the top.

I see Spectrue and Ken'ichi coming behind the human, I think we can use this formation and give him a good tackle.

Indeed, I run to the side of the path purposely, and Ken'ichi gives him a good tackle.

"Nice one Ken'ichi, heh."

It looks like the fight is finished, at least for now.

Spectrue looks exhasted. He goes into a cave and we decide to take the husky inside the cave.

I watch Spectrue and Diamond drift off to sleep. I lie down near the entrance to guard the cave. I cannot sleep, with all these things happening...

[Ken'ichi]

I sighed in relief when Spectrue said it's over, even if it's for now. I turn around to see Kadzait, Nikiski and Diamond trying to walk to us, I pad over to them. I then hear Spectrue whispering something to Diamond, which she nods in return. I look at Spectrue who seems to be in deep thought and pain is evident on his face, I felt so useless since I'm out of ideas to make him feel better. Spectrue says to the others that I could explain what's going on, I then watch as Spectrue pads into a cave, my smile immediatly drops to see Spectrue in such pain, and I've not a clue to help him. Kadzait suggest we should follow Spectrue into the cave to take shelter, I trail behind them, worried about that hunter. That wasn't no ordinary hunter, but I doubt even he could've survive a fall down a cliff. As we got settled in the cave, Kadzait asks me what happened up there, I guess I have to tell him.

"Well...it's hard to explain but..." I sighed, "You see, there was a human up there, probably after Spectrue and the husky. By how Spectrue warned me about him, the human was connected with Spectrue's past, and..."

I didn't have a clue on how to explain it, but I kept trying.

"Well...uhhh...Spectrue was...a...a fox...I know it's weird but...he's a fox reincarnated to a bear, he was climbing this same mountain in a storm with his friend, Diamond, he told me he kept climbing until the storm threw him off the mountain, that's when Kenai's story comes in, you remember right?"

I look at Kadzait, he nods.

"Well, that fox that Kenai saw lying in the bush, that was Spectrue when he landed from the mountain, after that day he was reincarnated into the bear you know now."

I look at Spectrue.

"And that human must've been responsible for whatever happened to Spectrue in the past, that's the only reason I know why Spectrue wanted to take down that human so much."

I look back at Kadzait, who looks like if he was in the biggest shock of his life.

"I'm sorry if my explanation didn't make much sense, but what I just said is the truth, I heard it straight from Spectrue's words. At first it didn't made much sense to me either, but when I remembered some of Spectrue's attempts to do stuff as a different creature, it all came together."

I looked at Diamond to see her fast asleep, her wound is still looking bad though. I look at Nikiski to see him a little shaken up. I yawn a little and laid down.

"I hope you understand now Kadzait...we better get some sleep." I say before closing my eyes.

[Kadzait]

Ken'ichi comes over to tell me the story, and I notice Nikiski has come near the front of the cave as well. Ken'ichi begins to tell me Spectrue's story, about how he was once a fox turned bear. I was stunned, I couldn't believe that something like that had happened. I shake my head in disbelief, my mind befuddled. Ken'ichi says how he hopes I understand, before he lays down to sleep. I don't understand. So much has happened to me, and now this story had made my mind a blur. I stood up and shook my fur off, then turned around three times and huddled up in a ball. I would've said something else to Ken'ichi, but he was already sound asleep, and I saw Spectrue's prism dangling around his neck. I was growing more and more confused, then I looked out to the northern lights, which were dancing playfully accross the sky. Somehow, that comforted me, and I felt like I could sleep peacefully. I suppose all could be explained in the morning, and I hoped the husky would be fine. I turned to Nikiski.

"I'm going to go to the world of dreams now, maybe they'll make more sense than what's going on here." I chuckle. "Good night, Nikiski." I yawn and lay my head on my forepaws, as sleep drifts across my being.

OOC: Alright, see you alls tomorrow!

[Kanoa]

~OOC~ I knew I was too late to squeeze into those parts ;D I think I would wait for tomorrow
