A/N: OKay, a new story. I thought you should deserve one since I haven't been updating for a while. This story wont be going on for long, maybe it will if I get new ideas, but anyway. This is about Kopa. If you don't know who he is please PM me and I'll tell you why he wasn't in The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. This is a flash back, it wont tell you who he is, but it'll make my story-telling a lot easier. Um...Yeah, okay. I think that's it. Please Read.
Disclaimer: I don't own TLK or any of the characters in this story, if I did there would be a Television series.
Simba and Nala proudly walked out of their cave, following Rafiki who had the new future king, Kopa, in his arms. He held Kopa high over Pride Rock, watching as all the animals stamped and cheered and bowed until Kopa was taken back to the den. The animals then lined up, waiting to pay their respect to the new cub. When they had all gone Simba smiled at Rafiki and thanked him.
3 months later (Kopa is the age of Simba in the Lion King)
Kopa looked over the Pride Lands, standing on the edge of the large rock that stuck out.
"Whoa" he breathed, watching the sun rise.
He turned and ran for the den, quickly making his was around the Pride until he was in the middle.
"Dad, time to go see the animals!" Kopa said happily and Simba yawned, standing up and stretching.
Kopa turned and ran out of the den, about to make his way to the plains.
"Kopa, hold on now." Simba called, and Kopa waited obediently.
Simba walked out of the den, yawning once again. They started to walk down the steps to the grasslands and visited the homes of many animals, saying hello and asking if they needed anything or had any problems. As they were walking back to Pride Rock Simba stopped suddenly and sniffed the air.
"Kopa, get behind me." He said
Kopa did what he was told and looked around, sniffing the air as well.
"Hyena's? Kopa asked, looking up at his father
Simba nodded and looked around, spotting a mother hyena with three hyena pups. Simba growled and gave a warning roar but the mother hyena took no notice of him and continued to eat something. Simba started walking towards them and one of the hyena pups gave a short, maniac laugh.
The mother hyena finally looked up and saw Simba. A grin appeared on her face as the blood of an animal dripped down her lips.
"Simba…." she said, "We meet again,"
"Shenzi…" Simba growled "We wiped you all out...how did you survive?"
"I wasn't there, after we killed Scar about 30 of us fled, knowing that you would be looking for us." She said, pushing her pups behind her.
Kopa backed up, running into his father's legs. Shenzi eyed Kopa but then turned back to Simba.
"What are you doing here?" Simba asked
"Eating," she said and Simba growled
"You know the penalty for entering the Pride lands." Simba said angrily
"Fine…" Shenzi said, pushing one of her pups forward.
Simba glared down at it and raised a paw, getting ready to strike. The pup cowered and whimpered and Kopa watched in horror.
"Dad…no," Kopa whispered
"You know what I have to do Kopa," Simba said, almost sadly.
Suddenly Simba was knocked away
"Dad!" Kopa shouted as his father hit the ground with a loud thump.
Another hyena had attacked, and they were surrounded. Simba stood up and roared loudly and then lioness came spilling out of Pride Rock, ready to fight. Nala came in first, tackling Shenzi and biting her neck. Kopa was picked up by the scruff of his neck by Sarafina and was taken back to Pride Rock.
Sarafina set him down near Zira and then ran back to the fight. Zira gazed at Kopa and then pushed her young cub, Nuka, to his feet. Kopa wandered around and then finally walked outside, watching the fight.
The lions were winning, but his father was pinned by five or six hyenas.
"Kopa!" Zira called and he looked away, coming back into the den.
"Yes aunt Zira?" Kopa asked and Zira stood up, a tear in her eye.
Zira walked forward, cornering Kopa.
"What are you doing?" Kopa asked, his voice quivering.
"Zira! What are you doing?" Timon's voice was heard and Zira turned.
"I'm doing myself a favor," Zira growled
Timon rushed in front of Kopa, shielding the cubs with his body,
"Puh, I could knock you out with one claw," Zira said, staring at Timon.
"Get out of here Zira." Timon said bravely.
Zira raised her paw, flinging Timon to the side and causing him to hit the cave wall.
"Timon!" Kopa cried, he turned to Zira angrily.
He raised his paw and slashed her across the cheek, leaving a faint scratch mark. Zira chuckled and raised her paw.
"This one's for Scar!" she yelled, bringing her paw down and swiping Kopa on the face, leaving a bright red scar over his eye.
She attacked him over and over, until he stopped moving. She breathed heavily, licking her lips. She picked him up by his neck and walked down the slope, finding a tree and placing Kopa there. She walked back to Pride Rock and saw the Pride already there.
"Zira…where's Kopa?" Simba asked, blood splattered over his paws and front legs.
Zira backed up nervously but the lionesses behind her stopped her. Simba looked down and saw the blood on her paws and growled.
"What did you do?" he asked, his voice quivering
"I did what Scar asked me to do," she said angrily and Nala gasped
"No…" she said in disbelief, burying her head into Simba's mane
Simba stared at Zira with tears in his eyes.
"We shall have a trial tomorrow…you sleep outside tonight with Sarafina, Kula and Sarabi watching you…" Simba said coldly, looking at the night sky above them.
The rest of the Pride walked into the den, all of them sad and most of them crying. Simba and Nala made their way to the middle slowly, Nala crying and Simba trying to contain his tears. When they sat down Nala cuddled up to Simba, the pair crying harder now.
The rest of the pride politely ignored them and went to sleep, but Nala and Simba stayed up all night, mourning the loss of their cub.
When morning came Zira stood at the base of Pride Rock, with the other three lions around her. Simba and Nala stood on the rock that jutted out, glaring down at her with red eyes.
"When you came here you were a cub, your mother had died and your father couldn't look after you. We took you in and gave you a place to sleep, food and a family. Over these years we treated you kindly and you had a cub here with my uncle. Today you abandoned all this and…..and you killed Kopa. You and your cub are banished, forever!" Simba yelled and Zira glared at him, picking up her cub.
Sarafina, Sarabi and Kula growled at Zira and chased her out of the Pride lands.
Next chapter the setting will be in 'The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride', just before the big fight between Zira's Pride and Simba's Pride.
A/N: How'd ya like that? I hope ya did, cause it was a little complicated to write it all, with trying to get the timelines right. Sorry Kopa fans, but that's the way it goes. Um...Please R&R
