A/N: I've come to the decision that my series will have the title, The Lion King Chronicles. I figured it was time to pick a title, so there it is. This story will be... Interesting. Enjoy Chapter One.

Chapter 1: Wakati

Simba and his friends were down by the water hole, spending their morning relaxing. It had been a week since Zira's attempt to take over the Pridelands. They were all sitting quietly until Simba spoke up.

"Alright, I can't take it." he said.

"What?" Nala asked.

"It's too quiet." he told her. "We need to find something to do."

"Like what?" Kulaani asked.

"I don't know." Simba said. "Let's just go somewhere."

"We could always go to the jungle again." Tora suggested. "Who knows, we may find something new."

"Oh, like another giant spider?" Kora said. "That would just be wonderful..."

"Quit it." Mheetu said, referring to Kora's pessimistic attitude.

"Yeah." Sora said before turning back to Simba. "I'll go if that's what you want to do."

"Angani and I will go too." Mkali said.

"We will?" Angani asked. The last thing she wanted to do was go hang out in a bug-infested jungle all day.

It was decided that Simba and all of his friends would be going to the jungle. As they walked away from the water hole, Kula had a realization.

"Wait." she said. "Won't everyone get suspicious if all of us are gone?"

"Not if we're gone too long." Simba said. "They'll just think we're somewhere in the Pridelands."

"You better be right, Prince Fuzzball." Angani said. "If we get in trouble, I'll wring your little neck."

"It'll be fine." Simba assured. "We take a quick look around the jungle, see if we can find anything, and then come back."

"If you say so." Kora said.

"Good." Simba said. "Let's move out."

Wakati's fur is light gray and he has light gray eyes. He not a normal lion by any means. He has the special ability to travel through time. He had spent his life going through the different time periods. He was lonely. He didn't bother making friends because he never stayed anywhere long, and when he was approached, he wasn't exactly the most friendly lion. Wakati tended to be bitter towards others, sometimes he used his ability to send others through time. Sometimes they were brought back, but most of them are still stuck somewhere.

"Maybe I can finally be alone." Wakati said to himself as he walked through the jungle. "This place seems pretty peaceful... I just hope it stays that way." He continued walking until he came to the edge of the jungle. He looked across the savannah in front of him. "Hm... I've seen nicer, but at least there's nobody arou-" He stopped when he saw a group of cubs coming towards him.

"Just when I thought I was in the clear..." he said. "I guess I'll just need to get rid of them."

"Hey," Nala said as she and the others got closer to the jungle. "Who's that lion at the edge of the jungle?"

"I'm not sure." Simba said. "Maybe he's lost. Let's see if he needs help." They all quickly ran over to him.

"Are you lost?" Simba asked Wakati as they approached him. "It's unusual for anyone to be in the jungle."

"Yes..." Wakati said. "I realize that. That is why I'm here. And that is why you must go."

"Why?" Simba asked. "We come here a lot."

"All the more reason." Wakati said as a glow started surrounding his body.

"Of course..." Kora said.

"What are you doing?" Tora asked.

"I want you to leave me be." Wakati said. "And I'll make sure you do."

Before any of the cubs could say anything, they diappeared.

"I wonder where I sent them?" Wakati asked himself. "Oh well, not my problem." Another thing Wakati didn't know was that he was being watched. A pitch black lion with green eyes suddenly appeared next to him.

"Interesting..." Kivuli said. "What did you do with those cubs?"

"What's it to you?" Wakati asked. "Just leave me alone."

"Ha!" Kivuli laughed. "You think you can tell me what to do?"

"Yes." Wakati told him as he began glowing again. "I can." Kivuli didn't have time to try and escape before Wakati made him disappear as well.

"There." Wakati said. "Anyone else who comes out here and disturbs me will have the same thing happen to them."

Simba opened his eyes. He looked around to see where he was and saw that he appeared to be inside the den at Pride Rock. He saw his friends around him, they were all still unconscious. He got up and walked over to Nala.

"Nala, wake up!" He said as he shook her.

"Huh?" Nala said as her eyes opened. "Where are we?"

"Back at Pride Rock." Simba said. "Help me wake up the others." They both went around, waking the rest of their friends up. When they were all awake, Kora noticed something.

"Hey," Kora said. "Where is everyone?"

Simba looked out the den entrance and saw his father sitting at the edge of Pride Rock. "I don't know, but there's my dad, I should go tell him about that lion." Simba walked out of the den and approached the lion sitting on Pride Rock. "Hey, Dad."

The lion turned around and both he and Simba were shocked.

"You're not my dad!" Simba shouted. The lion looked a lot like Mufasa, but it wasn't him. "Who are you!?"

The other cubs ran out to see what Simba was yelling about. The lion Simba was talking to was one they had never seen before, though he did look like Mufasa.

"Who are you!?" Simba asked again.

"How is this possible...?" The lion said quietly.

"How is what possible?" Nala asked.

"You..." the lion said. "You cubs..."

"Forget us!" Tora said. "Who are you?"

"I'm Simba." he replied. "King of the Pridelands."

They just stared at each other. The cubs thought he was lying, but the truth was that they had been sent into the future.

A/N: Well, this is an interesting situation. What will happen to the cubs now that they are in the future? The more important question however, is will they find a way back. And what about Kivuli? See you next time!
