Everything has an origin. Everything changes. Everyone grows up. Sometimes a child will create something in their mind and it becomes real for them. One such child is now eighteen and the worlds she helped create are in danger. Sora has to help her remember old friends and who she made into enemies. But she's making a giant step in her world. A step that could erase all the things she does still remember…college.

Prologue One

. Pridelands .

Simba sighed happily as he watched his youngest granddaughter pounce at her big brother. The younger lion laughed and threw his sister into the air. Nyota squeeled gleefully as she landed. Then she smacked him playfully, running away. He chased after her. Catching her in his paws they tumbled. The momentum continued and they spun into the water. All three lions burst into laughter.

Unfortunately like all good times they can come to an abrupt end.

"Simba! Nuku! Get home now!" Kovu shouted as he helped Kiara limp toward them. Simba and Nuku exchanged a look of mortification and ran to them.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

The king was out of breath as he laid his mate on the ground, "You wouldn't… believe me…but you have to…I don't know how….but they're back…Scar …and my mother…there's a human with them…he hurt Kiara pretty bad …without even touching her…we've got to get everyone home and get some lionesses ready."

Simba felt the words like a heavy blow to the chest. It wasn't possible. There was no way Scar could be alive! But Kovu would never lie about something like an attack and he had never seen the new king so scared.

"Hurry, get your sister home. And send your aunts back to us!" Simba ordered Nuku. The younger lion picked up his cub sister and ran straight home. Nuku was bombarded by questions from his younger sister, but currently having the scruff of her neck in his mouth he, thankfully, didn't have to answer.

"What do we do?" Kovu asked. Even as king, the darker lion would always turn to Simba for guidance.

"Zira will fight, you know that. Scar will only fight if it's his last resort. Then again, I haven't known a lion to come back to life." Simba said trying to shake the confusion from his face, "Where are they?"

"They're on the rise to the east." Kovu said. Kiara stood to follow the males but she stubbled and collapsed onto the ground.

"Can you make it home?" her mate asked, "You can't fight in this condition."

"I can make it," she said pushing herself back to her paws, her legs like rubber.

Kovu rolled his eyes, "Yeah, just like your first hunt."

"That was your fault and you know it," she groaned.

"Can you make your way back," Kovu restated, more seriously.

She glared at him to make her point of being a strong fighter, but finally she consented with a sharp nod trying not to meet his eye. Simba sighed, "You're too much like me, Kiara." She looked up at him with a grin. She got back to her paws and headed home.

As the males ran, a hawk flew over head straight for Pride Rock. It glided on the wind and zipped down to the cave. The bird suddenly changed into a squirrel.

This was the human, as was said before, but he was not like normal humans. His name was Jason and he was an experiment. He had been given three abilities as part of his mutation. He was a shape shifter, telekinetic, and could manipulate electricity. His origins are unknown. But he was a threat. He was hired to be. His job, to put it bluntly, was to be the delivery boy. And he was ready to pick up the first package.

The shifter climbed up the rock and into a crevice. Slipping inside the cave, the squirrel went straight to the younger lions huddled together.

An adolescent lion was pacing slowly among the cubs. His mane was beginning to grow but it was not nearly as large as his father's. This was Nuku, Kiara and Kovu's youngest son. When his mother had arrived, he was told to keep the cubs safe. It had been a two and half years since he was a cub, and now he was nearly out of his sub-adult years. So it just made little sense some times when he was counted among the cubs.

When his aunts left, along with the high prince and princess, Nuku helped his mother ease herself down. His eyes and ears ever alert for the signs of danger. It may have been their home and the safest place they could possibly be, but he didn't know what a ghost, if it really was a ghost, was capable of.

"This stinks," he sighed.

"I know," his mother mumbled.

"Are you okay?" he asked now looking over her. She didn't look cut up or shredded; more bruised up and sore than anything.

Kiara sighed, "I'm okay. I just need some rest."

Nuku nodded thinking more over the threat. He still marveled that they had said the intruders were Scar and Zira. All the stories said they were dead. It was all confusing and a little frightening.

Meanwhile, the shifter moved closer to Nuku and the cubs. He knew he had to time this right. He hurried up to a dark brown cub.

The young girl cocked black left ear at the rodent. "What are you doing here?"

"I got lost," he lied, making himself seem the victim. He jumped at the cub and tickled her head placing the transporter chip in her fur. Nyota giggled and swiped at the squirrel sending him flying into her brother.

Nuku caught the squirrel in his immature mane. "Hey," he laughed, picking the squirrel out of his hair and shoving it outside with his paw, "Please don't throw rats at me, Nyota."

"I'm not sure that was a rat." the cub shrugged.

"Come stay near the back of the cave, you two," Kiara warned.

Nuku and Nyota sighed but obliged.

Outside with the adults, Simba felt a cold thrill down his spine when the two lone figures came over the rise. The black manned lion came into sight and Zira herald their arrival with a roar.

She laughed menacingly, "You really don't need all this to fight us," she grinned, taking in two of her Outsider minions, a Pridelander, and the royal twins glowering at her with the same hate.

"Tell me, my son," she spat, "Who is back home protecting your injured?" Kovu growled in irritation but stood his ground. He didn't know where she was going with this. She usually used bluffs when she knew she could win either way, but the grin coming from Scar was nauseating. He was looking past the young King…at a scar almost identical to his own.

Suddenly something happened that made the lions question their sanity. Simba started when he saw Scar disappear, like a dust devil in the wind. Simba and Kovu left Kazak and Kira to lead the pride against Zira and ran back home.

Back at the cave, Nyota turned her head at a sound from somewhere behind them. She got up to investigate. Nuku stood and followed her. Kiara raised her head from her spot under some cubs, "Nuku? Where are you going?"

"Nyota saw something to pounce at," he rolled his eyes, "I'll bring her back.

"Nyota get back here," he chuckled, "We have to stay…" His gaze caught a dark lion, scrawny and lean with a black mane and green eyes staring at him. The older lion was smiling cruelly as he stepped forward.

"Why so frightened?" he asked, his voice as scarred as his eye.

"Nyota get behind me." Nuku said. Kiara heard the tone of his voice and stood, the cubs falling off her back. "What are you doing here? Who are you?" she heard her son ask.

The older lion laughed darkly, "Have you never paid attention in class? I'm back to take what's mine."

Nuku's eyes widened but his ears and stance lowered, "Scar. Get out."

Kiara's jaw dropped. None of the pride younger than her parents had seen the tyrant in life. But to see this ghost, it seemed, was enough to petrify her to the spot.

"Too bad I've heard that before, and that I'm not going to listen," the old lion growled.

Nuku roared and jumped at him. Scar slid out of the way and kicked the younger lion against the wall.

"Be patient, Nukutan," he hissed, insulting his full name, "You'll have your time to fight."

On the field of battle Zira was about to deal the death blow to her own granddaughter, but the old lioness disappeared. Kazak ran to his sister and helped her up.

In the cave, Nuku pushed himself up as the adults ran inside and Kiara found her senses.

Scar looked up to his nephew and grinned menacingly. "Hello, Simba. It's been a long time hasn't it?" Then he, Nyota, and Nuku disappeared.

***(((***)))***

Nuku felt like he was being pulled inside out. His head was pounding when everything finally stopped. He felt someone throw him to the ground. A small bundle of fur landed on top of him, adding to the pain.

Soon he heard voices.

"That will not be something I can get used to." said a male.

"You must endure the pain in order to enjoy the happiness." Zira said rubbing heads with her long lost mate.

"You're back," came a voice from the dark, "Well done. Except, that we have more than one than necessary."

"Shall I remedy the situation?" the female smirked.

"Never you mind, this will be just perfect. All the more reason for her to come."
