Ladies and gentlemen, we have come to the last chapter. But don't worry, a sequel is in works. The Cloud pride's main royal family belongs to Daniel's the man 98. Enjoy.

Zuri walked besides her mate with a eerie scrowl. She couldn't believe that disgusting bastard exiled her. Why was Kiara so special? Even after all she's done to her cousin she still has everything. What was the point of mating with Kovu?

"This is a minor step back,"

The burnt orange lioness snapped her dark blue eyes towards her creamy orange mother. "You have a plan?"

Tama nodded. "Your father has a pride not too far. The Marsh lands."

Kovu silently cursed. But he kept his actions and emotions checked. The trip was quiet and it made the journey longer than it was. Kovu was knocked back into reality by a loud roar.

"State your business, trespassers."

Kovu looked and on the other side of a river was a familiar rusty orange lioness. Before he could stop his racing heart Tama stepped up and dipped her head.

"At least, Lieutenant Morru." Tama lifted her head to see the young lioness bow. "We're here to speak with your Leaders."

Morru nodded before turning and heading towards some tall grasses. "Follow me,"

The exiled group followed Morru through the tall grasses. Before alot more lions and lionesses came into view. Three of the lions stepped up, one of them was a orange brown, faded grey mane lion.

"Ahh, this must be my beautiful daughter and her mate." he turned his dark blue eyes to the dark orange cub by his daughter's paws.

Tama smiled before walking over and embraced the orange brown lion. Then she turned her brown eyes to Zuri and Kovu. "These are the leaders of the Marsh lands. Thamani, Muuaji and Hashir."

Kovu snapped his head towards the large brownish, black maned lion. "Thamani? You're my father?"

Thamani smiled at the dark brown lion. "Yes I am. You must be Kovu, Tama have been telling me a lot about you. I have to say I'm proud and I know that your grandfather is too."

Hashir grinned before turning his dark orange eyes towards Morru. "Don't be so formal. After all, little Amaro is Kovu's son. Isn't he not?"

Zuri gasped before growling at Kovu. "I'm not Kiara! I gave you a healthy son! I'm pregnant with your cub!"

Kovu closed his eyes before growling at the burnt orange lioness with bared teeth. "Is it really? I know that you mated with your uncle!"

Zuri snarled but had nothing to snap back. To ashamed her afair with Simba was found out. But deep down she expected this to happen. Kovu had been disappearing lately, it was constant before Kiara became pregnant. All she could do was follow her mother and the leaders.

Kovu turned to Morru who was glaring at him. "What?"

The rusty orange lioness growled before going a different way than the leaders and their guests. Kovu watched her disappear before following after his mate. He entered the underground cave where everyone was seated.

"Now that we are all here." Thamani grinned. "The attack on the Shorelands was successful. Now to move on our next step."

Zuri looked up, a fire burning behind her gaze. "I believe I can help. Your runaway daughter is in the Pridelands. Her cubs are Chumvi's,"

Thamani's emarald green eyes widened before roaring. He stood and begin to pace. "That useless fools."

Hashir looked over at his partner. "Calm yourself, Thamani. We have a plan to ensure. Remember?"

Muuaji nodded in agreement. "The Blood Group is ready to attack the Cloud pride."

Thamani stopped and began to laughed. He grinned, lips pulling back over his teeth. "Tomorrow we will end the cult of the Cloud pride." his eyes darkening with hate as he snarled. "Then we'll take the Pridelands...by force."

Everyone in the underground cave laughed before roaring to the dark future.

...

Up in the mountains, past the oasis and northern desert was a pride of lions. The Cloud pride, ruled by King Wingu and his mate, Queen Upendo. On a hill that over shadowed the kingdom sat a out of place pale orange, brownish mane lion.

"Dayaa told me you'll be up here."

The pale orange lion sighed. He didn't have to look to know who had joined him. "Dayaa's very wise. How is she?"

A orange beige lioness sighed heavily before moving her tearful blue eyes towards the older lion besides her. "Queen Upendo says she's fine but I see the life being drained from her eyes every time I see her."

"I am sure that things will work out."

"You're worried about mother? Aren't you?" questioned the orange beige lioness.

The pale orange lion went to respond when he and the younger lioness looked towards the bottom of the hill to see a light tan lioness.

"Malka! It's happened, Sikia is awake!"

Malka quickly stood and dashed down the hill with the two lionesses following. They crossed a small creek before entering a cave under a large tree. There in the back of the cave was a pale beige lioness being tended to by a light tan lioness.

"Sikia!" Malka cried out as he rushed over and embraced the awoken lioness. "You scared the shit out of me. I was...so worried."

Sikia pulled away and looked around before moving her amber eyes to her best friend and former mate. "Where am I?"

The elder light tan lioness stood and stood by her light tan daughter and the orange beige lioness. "You are in the Cloud pride."

Malka turned his brown eyes to the pale beige lioness. "You been out for almost a year."

Sikia's eyes widened. "I have to-"

"Queen Upendo!"

Everyone in the cave looked towards the cave entrance looked and saw a creamy grey, light brown mane lion. To the queen, he was her brother in law, Wyatt.

"Wyatt? What's going on?" the light tan lioness asked as she apporched the king's brother.

His blue eyes was full of concern and fear. "We're under attack and I can't find Wingu any where."

Upendo turned to Malka. "Evacuate. I won't risk my pride knowing they are not ready for a fight. Gather who you can." the queen turned her dark brown eyes towards her daughter and the orange beige lioness. "Mvua and Makeda, find..."

Upendo was cut off by a burning branch being thrown in the cave causing everyone to cough. Wyatt coughed before looking at everyone coughing and choking on the smoke. He made eye contact with the closest being to him and that was Makeda.

"Protect Dayaa and tell her I love her."

The orange beige lioness barely nodded before watching the creamy grey lion grab the branch and charge out of the cave.

"We have to go. Now!"

The group ran out of the cave following the queen's orders. After Makeda and Mvua helped Dayaa and some of the pride to the way point where Upendo waited with Malka and Sikia. The group was bruised and tired from fighting their way out.

"What now, mother?" Mvua asked while by Makeda and a young heavily pregnant creamy yellow lioness.

"We stay low." out of the vines falling from the tall trees limped a light grey, black mane lion. He was covered in scars and blood.

"Wingu!" Upendo cried before rushing over to embrace her mate. "What happened?"

"Those bastards from the Marsh pride attacked. I know Thamani and his goons, they're not going give up so soon."

"What are we going to do, Wingu?" asked a tannish-peach lioness.

Wingu groaned before stepping back through the trees. "To hide then go to our allies."
