Kingdom Hearts: The Lion Guard

In this fanfic, our heroes revisit the Pride Lands during the events of the TV series, The Lion Guard (the show that takes place during the time gap in The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride). The events in this story take lace before and during the episode, "The Scorpion's Sting." Let me know what you think!

Chapter 1

Six beams came from the sky in the Pride Lands, mainly in a forest. From those beams revealed Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, who had just recently left Whitechapel... and learned about Terra's fate.

The six were in different forms in this world. Sora, Donald, and Goofy were in their lion cub, African bird, and tortoise forms.

Riku was a lion cub as well, just slightly taller and longer than Sora. His fur was light blue with a sliver mane which was his hair, his toes, muzzle, and underbelly were white, and the tip of his tail was a darker shade of blue. He also had whiskers.

Kairi was also a lion cub, the same size as Sora. She still maintained her red hair, but her fur was a shade of reddish-pink, her toes, muzzle, and underbelly were white, and the tip of her tail was red like her hair.

And finally, Mickey was a lion cub too, but completely black, with a peach-colored underbelly, front paws completely white, and he maintained his normal mouse-like head.

"Huh. I'm a lion cub with a mouse head." murmured Mickey.

"I wonder how Simba and the others are doing." Goofy wondered out loud.

"Let's go see then!" suggested Sora.

"We would, but it's kinda heard to move on all fours." muttered Riku.

Sora smiled. "Don't worry you three. Goofy's got the trick to it." he assured them.

"It's true! A-hyuck! Just follow my lead." said Goofy.

After a little while, Riku, Kairi, and Mickey had finally got used to being on all fours, and it made easier to follow Sora, Donald, and Goofy through the Pride Lands.

A while later, the six friends made it to Pride Rock.

"Here we are. Pride Rock." announced Sora.

Mickey and Kairi stared in awe and Riku let out a long slow whistle, being impressed.

"Gosh, it's so huge!" exclaimed Mickey.

"So Simba and Nala live here?" asked Kairi.

"Yep. Along with the rest of the Lionesses, plus Timon and Pumbaa." answered Sora.

"You mean the meerkat and warthog?" asked Riku.

"Yep. After all, when Simba ran away, they raised him together." replied Donald.

Suddenly, the Heartless spawned. They were Rapid Thrusters and Living Bones.

"Great." groaned Sora.

"How do we fight with our keyblades?" asked Riku.

"I'll show you." replied Sora as Circle of Life summoned in his mouth. He then tossed it into the air, and his tail grabbed hold of it.

"Wow!" exclaimed Kairi in awe as she did the same thing with Destiny's Embrace. Riku did too with Soul Eater. Mickey then followed with Star Seeker as Donald held his staff in his bird feet, and Goofy held his sheild in his mouth. The six then charged into battle.

Up on top of Pride Rock, four lions sat on the edge, watching the sun rise. One lion was very big and broad-shouldered with a red mane and a red tuft on his tail, brownish-gold fur, and creamy tan toes, muzzle, and underbelly. He also had reddish-brown eyes.

Another lion was a big lioness with a dark tawny coat, a pale tawny muzzle and underbelly, turquoise eyes, and a very dark pink nose. The tuft at the end of her tail was brown.

Another lioness was a lioness cub. She had pale golden-orange fur with a cream underbelly, muzzle, and paws. Her eyes were amber-brown.

And finally, the other lion was a male lion cub who appeared to be the same height as the lioness cub. He had a light golden pelt and paler golden paws, underbelly, and muzzle, with scruffier fur on his upper cheeks and the base of his chest. He had a bright red head tuft, and a bushy tail tip that is the same color as his mane. He also had at the base of each of his legs, numerous spots in a darker shade than his main fur color. On his left shoulder, he had what appeared to be a mark of the side of a lion's head in orange/red.

"Another day is upon us, huh Nala?." asked the larger lion.

"Indeed Simba." said the larger lioness. She turned to the cubs. "Kiara, you, me Tiifu, and Zuri will be doing more practice hunts today."

"Ok mom." replied the lioness cub.

"And Kion, normal Lion Guard duties." added Simba.

"You got it dad." smiled the lion cub.

Just then, a blue hornbill with blue and white feathers, and a large orange beak flew in and landed in front of Simba, before bowing.

"Good morning, sire." said the hornbill.

"Morning Zazu." replied Simba with a smile.

"So what's the Morning Report today?" asked Nala.

"Well let's see." began Zazu. "Makuu and his float are still well-behaving in their watering hole for the dry season, Ma Tembo and her elephants are feeling very at ease in Kilio Valley, Rafiki is continuing to teach Makini more Royal Adviser techniques..." he paused as he continued to think. "Oh yes, and it would seem as though those creatures are attacking again..." he began.

Simba, Nala, Kiara, and Kion growled, but Zazu held up his wing.

"...but, it would seem that six animals are taking care of them already with some unusual weapons." Zazuu finished.

Simba and Nala exchanged surprised looks while Kiara and Kion shared confused looks.

"Unusual weapons... Heartless looking creatures... What did they look like Zazu?" asked Simba.

"Well sire, they were a tortoise, a bird, and four lion cubs. I didn't recognize the red, blue, and black ones, but the brown one along with the tortoise and bird look very familiar. The brown lion cub also had a brown, spiky mane, and something sliver around his neck." answered Zazu.

Simba thought to himself, before he gasped in delight. "It's Sora, Donald, and Goofy!" he exclaimed happily.

"You mean they're back?" asked Nala, also surprised.

"Wait. Sora, Donald, and Goofy?" asked Kiara.

"As in the ones who helped you defeat Scar and his ghost?" asked Kion.

"Yes! And they're back!" exclaimed Simba happily.

"And it looks like they brought friends too." added Zazu.

"Gosh dad, I've never seen you this happy before." chuckled Kion.

"Yeah, you're kind of acting like Bunga." giggled Kiara.

"Well you know your father was close to Sora, Donald, and Goofy back before you were born." replied Nala.

"It has been too long. It'll be nice to see them again." smiled Simba, calming down a bit. He turned to Zazu. "Where are they now Zazu?" he asked his majordomo.

"They were over at Pride Rock earlier while I was flying, but then they moved their battle somewhere with no animals that could get caught in the crossfire. I believe their near Ukuni Woods." replied Zazu before quickly adding before any lion in front of him would get worried, "Luckily, there aren't any herds there at this time."

"Good. Nala, Kiara, Kion, come with me to welcome Sora, Donald, Goofy, and their friends back too the Pride Lands." he turned to Zazu. "Zazu, tell the Lion Guard Kion will be a little late."

"Right away sire." replied the hornbill before flying off to the Lion Guard's lair.

With that, the Royal family made their way off Pride Rock to get to Ukunki Woods.

"I always wanted to meet this Sora and his friends." Kion told his sister.

"Me too. The way dad describes them makes me want to meet them even more." replied Kiara.

"Well you two will get your chance now." smiled Simba.

Kion and Kiara smiled as they headed ahead of their parents. Nala turned to Simba.

"Who do you suppose are the new lions with them?" she asked her mate.

"Your guess is as good as mine. But there is the possibility that they are Sora, Donald, and Goofy's missing friends. But then again, that's just my guess." shrugged Simba.

Nala smiled as she, her mate, and cubs ran off to Ukuni Woods to find Sora and Co.

At The Castle that Never Was, Ansem, Xemnas, and Saïx were watching them on the computer.

"So they've re-entered the Pride Lands." mused Ansem.

"Indeed. And the best part is, they don't know what they're up against." Xemnas chuckled darkly. He turned to Saïx. "Alert the true king of the Pride Lands."

"It would be my pleasure." Saïx smiled darkly, before disappearing through a corridor.

KH

In the Outlands, in the volcano, three hyenas, and a cobra were sleeping soundly as Saïx appeared near the exit. He sighed in exasperation before summoning his claymore and slamming it against the rocky wall with a BANG! This jolted the cobra and hyenas awake.

"Waah!" screamed one hyena.

"What was that?!" exclaimed the muscular hyena.

"A-A ghost?!" asked the skinnier hyena.

The cobra scowled in annoyance. "That wasn't our leader, that's four sure." he hissed. "Who dares to disturb our nap who is not the almighty...!" he began angrily, before turning around to see Saïx with an annoyed look on his face.

"Oh, it's just you." murmured the cobra, a little embarrassed.

"Huh?" asked one on the hyenas before turning to the long blue-haired Nobody. "Oh, ok." he turned to his fellow hyenas. "Relax furbrains, it's only Saïx." he told them, annoyed. This put a relived look on the other two hyenas' faces. The hyena turned to the Nobody. "Hello..." he greeted meekly.

"Janja." replied Saix before turning to the other three. "Cheezi. Chungu. Ushari."

Ushari slithered over to Saïx. "What do you want?" he asked annoyed.

Saïx glared at him and the hyenas, which made them slightly cringe in fright as the Nobody replied, "I was sent here by one of our superiors to see your master." he replied.

Suddenly, steam flew from the volcano as a fire spirit of a familiar lion with a scar appeared. He smiled as he noticed one of his familiar allies that was in league with him, Maleficent, and Xehanort.

"Aah. Saïx." he smiled, evilly.

Saïx smirked slightly. "Hello Scar." he greeted.

"What brings you to the Outlands?" asked Scar.

"Xemnas and Ansem ordered me here. It would seem that Sora and his allies have entered your world." said Saïx, dismissing his claymore.

"Sora?" asked Cheezi.

"Who's he?" asked Chungu.

"Ugh!" groaned Janja. "Sora was one of those lions that helped Simba defeat Scar, furbrains!" he told them, annoyed.

"Oh yeah!" exclaimed Cheezi.

"That's right. (pause) I think." added Chungu.

Saïx, Janja, and Ushari all rolled their eyes in annoyance before turning back to Scar, who scowled as memories came back to him of Sora, Simba, Donald, and Goofy fighting him to his death.

"This will not stand! We can't have any interference with anyone like them when my plan to eliminate Simba and the Lion Guard is to commence tomorrow." growled Scar.

Saïx walked up towards the spirit a little more. "You've sent the Heartless, correct?" he asked the lion spirit.

Scar smirked. "Yes. And it would seem as though that those six travelers can handle them."

Ushari then got an idea. "But I bet they haven't faced off against animals like those in our army." he told them.

Scar and Saïx smiled. "Excellent idea Ushari." praised Scar. The fiery lion spirit then turned to Janja, Chungu, and Cheezi. "You three gather the jackals, crocodiles, and your fellow hyenas and find those travelers, and eliminate them. But spare the lions for Maleficent and Xehanort to help fore the X-blade. And then spare the Lion Guard because their ends will be here tomorrow." ordered Scar.

"Uh, sure thing Scar." replied Janja, before quickly asking, "But how we know what they look like?"

"You'll know them when you see them." Saïx replied for Scar.

"Uh... ok." replied Janja before turning to Cheezi and Chungu. "Let's go boys!" he ordered as they headed off to get their allies.

Saïx watched them go before turning to Ushari. "And you aren't joining them?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I can't reveal my treachery just yet." replied Ushari. "As far as Simba, the Lion Guard, and the kingdom know, I'm still a Pride Lander, loyal to the Circle of Life. Same can be said about Shupavu and her skinks." he added, pointing his head to behind Saïx.

The Nobody turned around slighlty to see Shupavu, a red skink, along with a green skink, a purple skink, and a blue skink with her, all nodding in agreement, before leaving. He turned back to the traitorous cobra. "I see." Saïx then approached Scar again. "I wish you luck, your majesty." said the blue-haired Nobody, before bowing.

Scar chuckled evilly. "Thank you Saïx. Tell your superiors that everything is under control here." he told the Organization member.

Saïx nodded before disappearing into a Corridor of Darkness. Scar then disappeared himself from the lava. Ushari only snickered as he fell back asleep.
