Chapter 2: The strange lion

3 years later...

Kopa wakes up to the sound of thunder and the pattering of rain on the ground outside of his den, "It looks like it's gonna be one of those day." He thinks to himself as he gets up. But just before he can even stretch he hears the laughter of hyenas outside, "Oh come on I just can't have a day without a battle can I?" He asks out loud.

"No you can't," says a voice from behind making Kopa jump ski high.

"Who's there," asks the lion turning around to see no one, "SHOW YOURSELF!"

"Sorry didn't mean to scare you like that," says a strange looking lion appearing out of the shadows, "The name's Walinzi."

"How did you get in here," asks Kopa ready to fight if needed, "There is only one entrance and it's impossible to sneak past me trust me."

"Oh there is more than one my friend," says Walinzi calmly, "That I should know, after all a lion should know everything about his den shouldn't he? Right Kopa?"

"How do you know my name," asks Kopa surprised, "And what do you mean 'a lion should know everything about his den'? This is my den!"

"The first part is not important," says the lion smirking, "But the second part, that is false. It's never been your den, actually before I killed them it was my parents; but when I did kill them I claimed it as mine."

"You killed your parents," yells Kopa backing up, "But why? Just to claim this den?"

"No that's not why," laughs Walinzi, "Let's just say they made me mad, just like you're doing right now. So I would move before you meet the same fate."

"Oh it won't be that easy to scare me away," laughs Kopa getting ready to fight, "So if you want to try it, be my guest." He says earning a chuckle from the other lion.

"If that's what you want," he says lunging at Kopa catching him by surprise, he knocks him across the den into the wall, "Oh come on don't tell me you weren't expecting that." Laughs Walinzi as he walks towards to Kopa looking to finish him off quickly.

"You'll have to do better than that," yells Kopa before jumping at Walinzi who easily side-steps his attack, and hits him to the ground.

"And I say the same to you," laughs Walinzi as he places his paw on Kopa's back and extends his claws, "Now I'll give you one last chance, leave or die."

In the Pride Lands...

Kiara nuzzles her mate as they look at the incoming clouds, "That looks like a bad storm approaching." He says returning the nuzzle.

"Yeah it does," says Kiara, "But let's not worry about that, after all the dry season did just end. So we really do need the rain."

"Yeah I guess, but that looks like a hell of a lot more than rain," says Kovu with a little bit of concern in his voice, "It looks like more a thunderstorm."

"Okay," says Kiara walking back into Priderock, "Then we might want to get inside here."

Back to the fight...

Kopa cries out as Walinzi starts craving into his back all while cackling, "I won't lose to you!" He manages to scream, but all that does is make the pain twenty times worse.

"I'd chose your words wisely," laughs the lion as he continues the torture, "But now that you'd made up your mind, I'll have to take it out." He says but before he carry it out he gets knocked off the poor lion.

"Kopa you okay," asks the party crasher as she helps Kopa.

"Yeah thanks to you Vitani," says Kopa smiling up at the lioness, who smiles back down at him before turning her attention towards Walinzi.

"And now for you, you'll pay," she says before charging the lion who just smirks before he gets knocked to the side.

"Ow that actually hurt," says the lion getting up still smirking, "But alas it won't help you." He says before returning the hit sending Vitani to the side crashing into a rock.

"Vitani," yells Kopa trying to get up, but failing, "Get up!"

"Ah that's nice trying to encourage your friend," he laughs, "But it won't work." He says before getting tackled by the lioness.

"What was that," asks Vitani as she starts beating Walinzi into the ground, "Now how bout you die!" She yells before getting kicked off of him, as Walinzi gets up.

"How dare you hit me," yells Walinzi as he lunges at Vitani who staggers trying to get up, "Now you'll witness my power!" He yells as he tackles Vitani grabbing her by her neck and starts throwing her around.

"Take your paws off of her," yells Kopa as he gets up and lunges at Walinzi who throws Vitani at him sending them crashing to the ground.

"And now you'll pay with that with your life," he yells before lunging once again at the couple.
