The

Lion King 3:

The Twins of the Pride.

Kovu was running through a deserted area, most like the one where Simba was ambushed. " Where am I?" he wondered. Kovu went to a ledge to try and get a better view, and saw a dam. He looked down, and saw something that shocked him. His brother, Nuka, was standing on a ledge beneath him.

Kovu knew he was in reach. " K-Kovu?" Nuka asked. " Nuka!" Kovu said happily. He leaned over the ledge and stretched out his arm.

" Grab my paw Nuka!" Kovu yelled. Nuka stretched out his arm to grab Kovu's paw. They were just an inch apart, but then, Nuka put his arm back down. " What are you doing?!" Kovu yelled to him. He just smiled and said, " I'm sorry, Kovu…" Kovu's eyes widened in shock and sadness as he watched his brother fall into nothingness and disappear.

Kovu turned away, for he couldn't bear it. " You cannot escape it….." an eerie and familiar voice said. " Wha..?" He turned to see a pair of glowing yellow eyes. The fog cleared to reveal Zira, standing atop a higher ledge. " Nuka is dead because of you…." She said in a haunting tone. Kovu was bewildered.

" No…" he whispered. " You've killed your own brother!" " NOOOO!!!!!" he screamed.

He ran away, running into unending blackness. " You're a killer, Kovu!" he heard his sister Vitani say. " You are like Scar!" he heard Simba yell. " To think I believed in you..." he heard Nala say sadly. " No..." Kovu said. " You aren't who I thought you were.." he heard Kiara say in an angry tone. Then, he saw the evil eyes of the murderous Scar. " You will avenge me!"

"AH!" Kovu woke up with a jolt. Once his eyes adjusted, he saw everyone was peacefully asleep. Kovu and Kiara was the new king and queen, because Simba stepped down from the throne. " Kovu? Are you okay?" Kiara asked. " Yeah.." he said. Then, Kiara cried out in pain. " What's wrong?!" Kovu asked worriedly. " I think... that... it's... time!" she said between breaths.

A while later, Kiara was holding two baby cubs. One a boy, the other a girl.

The boy was the same coloring as his grandfather, Simba. The girl looked just like her father. Kovu was looking at them when the son opened his eyes, showing to be Kiara's color.

He poked his father in the nose with one claw, making everyone laugh. He had a black prideland nose. The girl had a pink outland nose. She also opened her eyes, to show that they were her father's color.

" What'll you name 'em?" Vitani asked, looking at her nephew and niece. " The boy will be... Shaka." Kiara said. Shaka smiled a mischievous smile, showing he will be what his name means....a troublemaker.

" The girl... Nyota." Nyota looked like she was blushing. " Who will become heir?" Rafiki asked. " Shaka." Kovu replied.

So Rafiki did the ritual and presented them both to the animals waiting below. They all cheered and bowed to the future king and princess.

Mufasa shined his light upon the two newborns. Nyota was shying away, while Shaka was laughing.

The Circle of Life was continuing.

Over by the river, a log washed up on shore.... yet.. there was something clinging to it. A lioness was clinging to it, shaking from the cold of the water. She got up, shook herself, then began to laugh.. evilly. " I will have my revenge!" the voice said. " It's the least I can do for you, Scar. Since I'm not able to be with you yet..." she said.

She could see Pride Rock in the distance. " No mercy..." she said, making a devilish grin. Zira... was back!

I know I'm evil, but I won't be writing for a while. Goin on vacation. But I'll be back, don't worry! : ) Hope you liked it!
