AN: Kopa is dead, but how will Simba and Nala react? Also, please review, it is much appreciated!

Agony

"Kopa!" Simba yelled upon leaving Priderock. He ran into the Pridelands, hoping to find his son still in one piece. Suddenly he came upon Zira, licking her paws of a red liquid, looking quite innocent.

"Where is he!?" Simba demanded.

"Who?" Zira asked, still acting innocent.

"My son…"

"The brat must be out playing, you know cubs."

"Your paws are soaked in my son's blood, yet you deny it!" Simba shouted.

"What do I have to deny?" Zira said coolly.

"Nothing, only the pain you will have to suffer."

"Pain is given in many ways Simba, loss of a family member is one of the few, just like you killed Scar!" Zira yelled finally.

"I did not kill him! The hyenas did! I have suffered a loss of a family member before as well, my father! Who Scar killed!" Simba was now up in her face. Nala was now just arriving.

"Fine, if you want your bratty son, here, take him." Zira said coldly, seeing Nala, reaching behind a tree, pulling out the mangled body of Kopa, who was somehow still alive, but barely. She tossed him to Simba. He landed at Simba's paws. Nala rushed over, tears now coming out of her eyes.

"Kopa…" She said. She was now looking at her son who was bloody from head to tail. Some of his rib bones were protruding from his skin, several bones sticking out of his legs, and his head looked like it had been smashed into a rock several times. His tail was only being held on by a few bits of skin, and deep scars covered his back. One other noticeable feature was the scar over his left eye.

"Mom… Dad…" Kopa said, struggling with each breath. He looked up at both of his parents and said, "I'll… be… alright… Grandpa… is… waiting…" His head slowly turned, his eyes closed, his little heart beating its last.

"No! Kopa!" Simba said, tears coming out of his eyes, splashing on Kopa's body. He hugged his son's body, blood staining his golden fur. He placed his son's body down gently and looked up. He looked right into Zira's eyes. His stare of anger and rage made her step back a few steps.

"Murderer." Simba said in a low growl walking up to her.

"What are you going to do Simba! You can't just orphan two innocent children!" Zira yelled at him.

"But you can kill one!" He yelled, tackling her. He raised a paw, claws extended.

"Do it Simba! Show you have the guts!" She yelled. He lowered his paw and got off her. "Ha! I knew it!" She laughed.

"I have a punishment worse than death…" He looked Zira dead in the eye. "Exile!"

"Exile…" Zira looked at Simba in shock. "No, not off Scar's land!" She yelled.

"You will do as I say, or your children suffer the same fate as my son!" He roared.

Zira was speechless, she never thought about how this would change her life forever, and her children.

"Did anyone come with you Nala?" Simba said to his wife, not breaking eye contact with Zira.

"Yes." A lioness said behind him.

"Go get her children."

"Yes sir."

"You and your children may never come back to the Pridelands, or the punishment is death. Make this clear to them as no warning will be given."

"Y-yes Simba…"

"Nuka, Vitani, get up." A lioness said sternly, walking into where they were sleeping. A grim expression was on the lioness' face. Nuka picked up on this.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Don't ask questions, just follow me." The lioness replied coldly. The cubs did as they were told and followed the lion. The journey was silent, the cubs wondering what was going on. They soon approached a gathering of lions. Most were off in a group, all crying over something. Then the cubs saw their mother and Simba facing each other. Simba had a massive red mark on his chest and lower jaw, but it didn't look like he was hurt. It also seemed like he had been crying.

"King Simba doesn't look too happy." Vitani told her brother.

"Yeah, I noticed that too, wonder what happened?"

"Nuka, Vitani! Go to your mother!" Simba yelled upon hearing them talk. The two cubs headed over. "I am punishing you all for your mother's crimes; you are all hereby exiled from the Pridelands!" Nuka and Vitani looked at each other in shock.

"Exiled?" Nuka asked.

"Yes, you can ask your mother why, now leave, and never return."

No… What about being with Kopa for the rest of my life… Vitani though to herself.

"Come children, time to go." Zira said.

"Wait, can I just say goodbye to Kopa, one last time?" Vitani asked.

"No, no you cannot, he is sleeping." Simba said, a tear falling out of his eye.

"Then I'll wake him!" Vitani said persistently.

"Vitani, you have to go now, I'm sorry…" Simba turned his back to them wand walked off to the group. Vitani was about to say something, but was told by her mother to go. They walked off to the outlands.

Goodbye Kopa, I hope to see you soon...
