"Kiara" simba said in a stern but clam voice " you must stay on the path I've made for you"
"Yes father" kiara replied knowing retaliation would be a lost battle waiting to happen.
With that said Kiara decided it was time to do some exploring. Walking down the marked path she saw the waterhole, rafiki's tree, some elephants, a dry dark place.
"Woah" Kiara thought to herself "what is that place?" Having a mental battle with herself on going or not she decided to go see what that place was "An adventure sounds fun"
Thinking this she walked a little closer. Once getting there she noticed a dead tree that looks as if it is used for a bridge. Crawling across the tree into the mysterious place her curiosity grew by the second.
Finally reaching the other side she ran in excitement looking at all the giant mounds, dead tree, and weird things she has never seen before. As Kiara walked more she came to a sudden stop hearing an "Ouch! Watch where you're going!" Kiara looked up to see a young cub about her age with dark brown fur and a black tuff of fur on is head and bright green eyes
"Hi.. I.. Kiara" she tried saying before turning around and running back toward the pride land being a cub the mysterious cub wanted to know who this random cub was, ran after her hoping to find out more about her. Kiara had reached the tree bridge darting across.
Just before she reached the end the tree broke cause her to fall into a croc filled river. "Oh no!" Someone! Anyone! HELP ME!" The outlander cub reached the river seeing where she was and jumped in hoping to save her
As this incident was taking place a small bird was flying around the pride land doing daily rounds of sky patrol "I say" zazu said to himself "the pride lands sure have restore themselves quite well in the last few weeks"
Thinking he could return to the pride lands to in form king Simba of no known issues to deal with he heard a quiet voice say "Someone!Anyone!HELP ME!" Hearing this zazu figured taking a closer look may to a good idea. What he say, was something he wished would never happen.
"I must inform the king!" A small blue bird yell
*a few minutes later at pride rock*
"SIR! SIR!" Zazu yelled almost flying right into the king and queen of the pride lands "Zazu what's wrong?" Nala asked "is everything okay? What's going on?" Simba asked already having that "I knew it" moment
"Sir" zazu began while trying to catch his breath "its Kiara"
"KIARA" Nala and simba both said fearing the worst for there daughter
"She's gone to the Outlands, she fell in a river. I came as fast I could an.."
Before zazu could finish explaining everything simba, nala, and Sarafina had already bolted for the outlands.
*in the outlands*
"COME ON WE'VE GOT THIS!" The cub yelled helping Kiara. All of a sudden the weight was lifted off him, and was being pulled too?
Not understanding what was happening the mystery cub realized the two cubs weren't alone, only to find out at the top of the slight dope off was a very worried lion and two very upset and angers lionesses
"Kiara what we're thinking you could've gotten yourself killed" the lion said "and who is he? Is he an outlander? What've I told you about outsiders? He asked
"I'm sure he's not from the pride lands" one lioness said
"I've never seen him around pride rock before" the other lioness said
When kovu thought his luck couldn't get any worse the big lion approached him "who you are cub?" At this point the cub was trembling in fear, not knowing what would be the right or wrong answer "I.. I'm kovu. I live over there in that termite mount" he pointed not seeing he was not longing in the territory he had called home
"Who is your mother young one" Sarabi spoke up seeing fear in kovus eyes
"I am" said a older malnourished lioness slowly walking out of her hiding spot in some thicker bushes followed by a small cub chasing a butterfly
"ZIRA!" Simba, nala, and Sarabi said with a strong growl
"I see you've met my cub, kovu. Son of scar, and future king of the pridelands" Zira said with a evil smirk
"You know the penalty for returning to the pridelands" simba said unsheathing his claws, preparing for his attack
"If it's a pound of flesh you want, then take it" Zira said as she pushed her two young cubs towards simba with a smile on her face.
"What kind of mother are you?" Nala half yelled wanting to attack now more than ever
Zira was shocked as she noticed simba and Sarabi picking up the two young cubs and setting them next to Nala
"What are you doing with my cubs?!" She said ferociously
"In a bed situation you made a choice to sacrifice your cubs instead of paying the price, so your cubs WILL come live with us. I hope you're happy with the choice you have made" simba said as he picked up Kiara, followed my Nala and Sarabi picking up kovu and vitani.
"This isn't the last time you'll see from me pridelanders" Zira said as a few tears ran down her face.
As the group returned back to pride rock once again there were many questions being mumbled as to where the two unknown cubs came from. As they made it up pride rocks step like rock fixture a cub ran out of the cub almost tackling his parents "Mom, Dad you're back!" He said happily "who're those cubs? Did you have another cub and not tell anyone? They're as big as Kiara!" Kopa said fully focused on these cubs he's never seen before
"No dear" Nala said on the verge of tear from holding back her laughter "this is kovu, and vitani" she pointed to each cub as she said their names "they're going to be living here with us"
Kopa didn't think about being happy, now having two more friends to play with "why don't I introduce them to my friends after lunch?" He said joyfully
Nala began thinking to herself "this could be their chance to have a fun and loving cubhood. they seem shy, but I'm sure Kopa and Kiara will break them from that in short time" "that sounds like a wonderful idea. The hunter party should be back Farley soon" she said knowing it'll be good for them to make new friends
*back at the outlands*
"Mother, how could you do that?! Those are your cubs!" Nuka said not caring about the outcome of the argument.
"Don't worry about them. They're gone, I can't get them back so there's no point in arguing!" Zira snapped back
Nuka had never been so angry in his life. He quickly unsheathed his claws and without a second thought attacked his mother. Zira tried hitting Nuka in the face, but he turned his head bitting her paw as hard as he could nearly breaking it, Zira screamed in pain. Crazily she grabbed him by the back of his neck throwing him against a mound making parts collapse.
"You won't get away with this" Nuka said breathing heavily from the impact
"We'll see about that" Zira said with an evil chuckle
Before she knew it Nuka had her pinned to the ground, than taking all his weight and broke both her back legs "any last words mother?" Nuka said pure evil soaring through his veins
Zira screaming in antagonizing pain. She looked Nuka in the eyes and only saw aggression in her sons eyes "I'm coming scar" was the last words she spoke before Nuka wrapped one paw around her neck and slowly but surely drug his claws into her wind pipe then ripped out parts of her throat.
"Goodbye, you won't be missed" he said to the lifeless body that was once his mother. Turning towards the pride lands. "I have to go to the pride lands" he thought "If I leave now I'll make it there long before sunset" he said walking farther and farther from the wasteland he called home
*back in the pridelands*
"So how long are they living here for?" Alau asked
"My father said they're living with us now. I guess that's means they're with us forever" Kopa said
"Your father is scary" kovu said not knowing anything about the king but what is mother had told him
"He can seem scary at times but he's really just a big scaredy cat" Kiara said laughing
"Remember when me and Kopa went to the gorge? I thought he was going to have a heart attack!" Nyah said as the group filled with laughter and crazy memories
"What about the time we went to the outlands and that crazy old lioness tried attacking us" kali said
"She was insane! I almost thought she was going to get us!" Nuru said remembering their near death experience
"Wait" kovu said "what did this crazy lioness look like?"
"She was tall, with a darkish yellow fur, light eye shades" nia said
"She looked really dirty, like she hadn't eaten food in a while either" asha added
"Didn't she say something about a scar?"
Kovu and vitanis eyes grew wider than ever before "that's our mother!" They said in unison
For a moment the group was completely silent as they all tried to process what was just said "so, you're saying the psycho lioness that tried to kill us is your mother?"
Kovu just nodded in response beginning to regret saying Zira was their mother
Vitani took a breath breath, relaxing as much as she could and expecting the worse "yes. Zira, the lioness who for some reason tried to kill you all, is our mother unfortunately. But thankfully we're here and away from her forever"
Kovu looked down at his little sister both sad that he'll never see his mother again, but happy him and sister will live a better life "I couldn't of said it any better myself sis. Though I do hope we see Nuka soon"
*back with nuka*
"I never realized how long of a travel this is" Nuka thought to him self "it feels like I've been walking for days, but it'll be worth it. I just hope king simba will let me join his pride" as he walked he noticed a big tree with many objects hanging off of branches and singing coming from inside it "that's rafikis tree!" He said with joy
"Ah I see you have made your journey to the pride lands sooner than I expected" Rafiki said from behind Nuka
Nuka jumped back, almost landing in a small puddle "I still don't get how you can do that. And how did you know I was coming?"
"Ahh young cub" rafiki said "don't you worry about that, what you should worry about is getting to your sister and brother"
"Yeah.. yeah I should! Wait.. I'm not a young cub! I'm 3!" Nuka said, but before he could finish rafiki vanished unnoticed
"Well, I guess I should get to pride rock before it gets to late" that being said he set off for pride rock, reaching the giant rock fixture in minutes
*back with the cubs*
"So you don't hate us?" Vitani asked confused
"Why would we hate you? You didn't try to kill us . And it's not your fault she's crazy" kali said. The other agreed knowing she was right
"We have a saying here" Kopa said "hakuna matata"
"What's hatanu mukata?" Vitani asked
"No" Kiara said giggling " Hakuna Matata, it means no worries"
"Oooohh" vitani and Kovu said
"So what should we do now?" Alau asked
"We should go back to pride rock. I think it's almost lunch timeqq!" Nyah said excitedly
"I swear you only think about food" kali said giggling
With that all 14 cubs got up stretched their little legs and set off for pride rock
*with simba and Nala*
"I know but we have to decide on a mate sooner or later" simba said
"Why not just let him find a mate on his own? That's what we did" Nala said
"But that's not how betrothals work"
"Says who? We never had a betrothal and look where we are"
"Okay" simba said "we'll let him make the choice on his own. I just hope he finds someone"
They suddenly heard a knocking noice coming from the cave entrance, as simba stood up they noticed a not so young cub walking in "Nuka?" Nala said more excited then she let show "what are you doing here? Does your mother know you're here?
Nuka began to feel nervous "well, errm. That's actually what I came to talk to you and king simba about"
"You can just call my simba, no need for the royal status" he said with a chuckle
"So what is it you'd like to talk me us Nuka?" He continued
Nuka felt his stomach twist in a knot as the seconds passed "I was told by my mother that kovu and vitani will now be living with you" taking a few deep breaths before continuing
"I have come to ask to join your pride so I can be with my brother and sister. They're all I have left" Nuka asked anxiously waiting for a response
"What do you mean? you have your mother" Nala asked
Nuka lowered his head in shame, fearing the worst for such a crime he committed "she's dead" he whispered
"She's what?" Simba asked confused
"She's dead" he said louder
"What happened to her? She was alive when we took the cubs from her" simba asked
Nuka lowered His head once more. Seeing a single tear drop from his eye Nala decided it was time to take over. She sat down next to him, doing what she could to comfort the not so young cub
"What happened Nuka" Nala said trying to calm him down
"I always thought of Nala as a mother figure, she was always there for me before we were banished. But can I trust her with this?" He thought to himself "what's the worst that could happen? She was a monster... Yeah!" He mentally yelled "SHE WAS A MONSTER!"
"I killed her"
Hearing these few words both simba and Nala were taken aback. "I've never known Nuka to be violent in any way" Nala thought "I don't even think he'd have the heart to kill a field mouse"
"What did she do?" Simba asked almost regretting his question as he asked
"When moth... NO! When ZIRA returned home explaining why my sibling were not with her and how she would sacrifice her own cubs to stay alive I attacked her,I knew it was time to make her pay for it" Nuka said in a strong stern voice
"Well.. she had it coming" Nala said with a chuckle
"Nala!"
"Simba, you know just as well as I do that he was not wrong for what he did. Look at how she treated her cubs" Nala said
Simba only had one choice. And that was to agree knowing his mate was correct. Zira wasn't the best lioness, she was full of evil, hatred, and revenge
"Nuka" simba said
When Nuka lifted his head simba only saw fear and sorrow in is eyes "yes simba" he said
"Given the information of your horrid crime, I should have you banished for the murder of Zira" hearing this Nuka got up and slowly started walking out of the den
"But" simba said, Nuka turn around hoping for the best once again "given the reasons of her death, and knowing you, your brother, and your sister are know safe, I won't banish you. I will accept you into our pride" Nukas eyes lite up like a single star in the dead of night
"I couldn't thank you enough for this simba"
"It's my pleasure Nuka" simba said smiling "I only want you to live your life. The life you never had, and the life you've always wanted"
"Thank you" Nuka said as tears of joy ran down his checks, running over and hugging both Nala and simba
*back with the cubs*
With a full morning of fun, playing, and laughter the cubs were ready for lunch before the day fun continued. As they reached the cave entrance the cubs noticed a older but young lion cub they've never seen before. Nyah not being to shy decided to speak up first
"Who are you?" The cub asked
Turning around the cubs got a better look at this mysterious lion "NUKA!" Kovu and vitani screamed with joy as they pushed through the group of cubs, tackling there older brother
"I thought I'd never see you again" kovu said burying his head into Nukas chest
"I'm so happy to see you" vitani said on the verge of tears
"It's such a shame these amazing cubs had to go through what they did. But now they can live their lives" Nala thought as she smiled happily "I know I can be the mother figure they've always needed. All they want is love, and that's what I'll give them"
