"Kion, I thought you gave your roar up to Vitani?" Rani asked.

"I did, and then Vitani found another lioness, Vivian. You remember Vivian, she came to the Tree of life, three years ago, in need for some help. At that time, for some reason the Elders had given the roar to Vivian, but something must've happened to Vivian for the roar to come back." Kion frowned as he liked that Vivian was strong.

The Roar of the Elders was something else apparently. There seemed to be more secrets towards the roar that Kion didn't even know. Talking to the past lions - there was no answer to why Vivian was able to achieve the roar - as the first female lion and why she was able to give it away to Vivian. Kion didn't understand if Vitani gave up the roar - or if Vivian did something else to achieve it.

Kya looked at her father, "So, Aunt Vitani was the first female lion to have the roar?" Kya looked at him.

"Yeah, she was. She did a great job protecting the Pride Lands, when I had to go off to the Tree of Life." Kion nudge at Rani.

"Well, while you at the Tree of Life, you were able to still protect its land." Rani laughed.

"Ew! Could you not be all lovely dovey!" Kamari said as he made a fake gagging sound.

"Hey! You will fall in love and be with your mate." Rani teased.

"Moooom!" Kamari whined.

"There's no way that Kamari would be in love!" Kya laughed.


After a long journey they arrived at the Pride Lands - where Simba, Nala, Kiara and Kovu were waiting for them. Nala was happy to see her son, and they were happy to see Rani as well. Simba and Nala were happy to see their grandchildren as well. Kiara and Kovu had three cubs - the youngest - which was the twins age was named Akua, the eldest was a male, Baako, and the middle child was also a male, Chike. Baako looked at his cousins and wondered how long they were going to be staying because there was so much to show them - as being the oldest, he would take control over the Pride Lands, like how Kamari was going to take over the Tree of Life as King.

"It's good to see you!" Kiara smiled.

"You too." Kion smiled back.

"Auntie Kiara!" Kya smiled.

"And who is this cute little Princess?" Kiara asked.

"Kya, and the grumpy looking cub is Kamari." Rani laughed.

"I am not!" Kamari muttered.

Kya looked around and looked up at the sky - dark storm clouds. "I...think we should get into shelter." Kya said.

Baako heard what his cousin said and looked to sky - the clouds were really dark - it just didn't mean rain, but the chance of lightning, and the Pride Lands were in a dry season, which means the ground could catch on fire easily with just a strike of lightning.

"What a day to come." Kion stated he led the cubs into Pride Rock for safety.

"Yeah, it's also dry season." Kiara sighed. "Everyone has been grate with sharing, but I'm scared incase lighting striked."

Everyone was in the cave, of course, you had Kya was just sitting right at the mouth, wanting to watch the rain fall.

"Kion, what is with Kya?" Kovu whispered.

"She likes the rain." Kion responded.

"She was the first one to noticed the change in the clouds." Baako spoke up.

"Really?" Rani asked.

"Yeah..." Baako nodded his head.

Just then - there was strike of Lightning - as it hit a tree. Then the clap of thunder. Kya watched as the tree was on fire.

"The tree is on fire..." Kya said as she watched it. "We have to do something!"

"Kya!" Kion and Rani shouted as she bolted out of the cave.

"Baako, bring back your cousin." Simba stated.

"Yes Grandfather." Baako ran out of the cave and looked around for Kya, the rain hadn't started yet which was good there was still time to find Kya and get her to safety.

Kya looked around, and then up at the cloud, there had to be rain, and then there was another strike of lighting - this was getting closer to her - she saw the ground catch on fire and this was getting scary for Kya.

"Kya!" Baako shouted over the roaring thunder that clapped in the cloud.

"Have...to do something. I can't let this tree burn!" Kya growled at her cousin.

"If the tree is to go! Then it's the circle of life!" Baako explained.

"NO!' Kya roar at him. "I WON'T LET IT!" She looked up at the cloud.

She got into the stance that Kion had showed her when he was about to use the roar of the elders. She knew that there was slim chance of her gaining that power. But something inside her - her mind made her get into that stance. Baako watched her as she looked at the cloud. Her eyes closed for a second and the next she opened she let out a roar - and it echoed at the rain cloud. Baako was shocked - the cloud got bigger and started to rain. The roar - he heard it from his Aunt Vitani and knew that it was the Roar of The Elders.

Everyone from Pride Rock heard the roar - and everyone was a bit shocked to hear that is Kya - roaring, and then all of a sudden it started to rain, and the fire went out on the tree. From where Kya was - she was shocked that it was her roar. Hers. Not her brothers - not her cousins but her own roar.

"Dad...what that..." Kamari started to asked.

"The Roar of the Elders." Kion nodded his head. "She has it."

"Wow, and I thought one of our cubs would have it." Kouv shrugged.

"I did too, since Kion had the roar." Kiara said.

"The roar doesn't really pick the family. It picks the lion." Rani had to remind the family.

"But - Kya..." Kion muttered.

Soon enough, Baako and Kya made their way back to Pride Rock and out of the weather. Since the Roar, the rain was still there - the Roar didn't really make the rain, as it was going to rain to begin with - it just make the rain arrive sooner. Rani went over to her cub.

"Kya!" She looked at her.

"Was...that...that was me," Kya was in shock.

"Yes." Kion nodded. "It was you."

"How..." Kya muttered as she didn't understand at all.

"Kya, you are a second born child, you may be twins, but you were second born. As a second born cub, you have the power of the Roar, the Roar of the Elders." Simba pointed out as he looked at her. "You are now the fiercest lioness out there."

"What happens now?" Kya asked.

"You will stay here in the Pride Lands, and protect it. You are now the leader of the Lion Guard." Kion sighed.

"I don't want her to go - but I was also her age when I got the Roar." Kion thought.

"The Lion Guard...Dad weren't you the leader of the Lion Guard?" Kamari asked.

"I was." Kion nodded.

"If I remembered, it wasn't fully made of Lions." Nala laughed. "But you and your friends were able to do a lot more than what Lions could do - due to the fact that Ono was a bird and was able to fly."

"Which is why Kion's lion guard was amazing!" Kiara smiled.

"Thanks." Kion nodded.

"So, I have to create the new Lion Guard?" Kya asked her father.

"Yes." Kion nodded. "Take your time, but it seems the Pride Lands are back in trouble - and they need the roar."


The next day after the terrible storm, Kya decided to go for a walk, she needed the time away from her father - and her family. Did she even want this power? The Roar. It was a big reasonability for a cub her age. Will she be able to help a place she didn't even know? The only home she knew of was - the Tree of Life. Now she has to help the pride lands? This isn't her home!

As Kya walked around, trying to get a feel - of the Pride Lands, wondering if this place would ever become home to her, if she is needed her - then her father had told her last night...

"It's the duty of the Roar to be here when there is trouble." Kya muttered as she walked around.


Chike was out for a hunt with Baako, Akua and Kamari. It was a hunting lesson 101, and might as well teach everyone. Baako was going to ask Kya, but she was gone before they even woke up.

"Kamari, do you think Kya would stay?" Akua asked.

"I don't know. It's hard to know for sure what she's thinking." Kamari admitted. "I think she never thought that she would have the power of the Roar. We know our dad had it, then it was given to Aunt Vitani, and then to Vivian - but after Vivian, the roar came back to the Tree of Life. So something had to happen to her for it to return."

"I knew that Aunt Vitani had it - but who is this Vivian?' Baako asked.

"She was apparently a lioness that came to the tree for help, and then disappeared with the roar. Kya and I were born yet, so I don't know what really happened." Kamari sighed.

"I hope she stays! We would have a bunch of fun!" Akua smiled.


Kya appeared at waterhole with Elephants and Zebras. She looked at her reflection - she bore a resemblance to her father. She frowned and just stared at her reflection. She looked around and just looked for a hill to climb. She would ask her Great Grandfather - Mufasa. Her father said that Lions of the Past will always listen to questions and if they want, they will show themselves if need be. When Kya was far away from other animals she sat down and looked at the sky.

"Great Grandfather Mufasa, I was wondering if you could help me..." Kya looked at the blue sky.

In the clouds, Mufasa appeared to her. "Yes, my darling Kya?"

"What am I supposed to do? Dad says it's my duty as the holder of the Roar to stay and defend the Pride Lands from the oncoming evil - that's why I have the roar. But How can I leave my home?" Kya stood up and paced her spot. "I don't want to leave the Tree of Life! But I also want to be here - in a new place, exploring. Is it bad that I want to stay?"

"Kya, child, having the Roar means you are meant to do something great! If you are chosen, you must do what it is to protect the Pride Lands." Mufasa looked at her.

"I think I understand." Kya says. "It's my destiny to protect the Pride Lands - and then one day, I can return home to see Kamari become King."

Mufasa smiles at her. "If that is all you want to talk about - I suggest you tell your family."

"Thank you!"
