Author's note: Hi everyone! This is my first chapter book fanfiction, and also my first Lion King one as well. I just watched the movie (for like the 100th time!) Anyway, this came to mind that we only know what its like in the Pridelands, however they never show how it was for Kovu, Nuka, and Vitani growing up, same as Kiara. So, I decided to write about all four of their lives with an interesting character. Anyways, enjoy!
I do not own Lion King or Ice Age
Chapter one: Banished
Zira was lying down on Priderock looking at the view, and at her two cubs: Kovu, and Vitani. She was the mate of Scar, the current king. She watched as her two cubs were playing, followed by her six month old cub, Nuka. "Mother, how come you never pay attention to me?" Nuka whined. Zira rolled her eyes, "How many times do I have to tell you Nuka, Kovu and Vitani are just cubs and need a lot of attention. You don't now quit bothering me." Nuka slinked off sullenly, Zira sighed. "Something wrong my dear?" Zira turned around to find her mate and king Scar looking down at her. "Oh nothing Scar, its just Nuka." But Scar wasn't paying the slightest attention to her he looked out by the base of Priderock, there seemed to be a problem. The hyenas were howling and barking, and the lionesses were growling and roaring. "What ever in the world is going on?" "Scar?" Zira asked. Scar wasn't listening instead, he told her, "Take the cubs into the back of the den, and do not come out until I say so."
Scar went down to where his pride was. "Sarabi!" he shouted to one of the lionesses. Scar wanted to know why the lionesses hadn't been hunting. "There is nothing left, we have no choice, we must move on." Sarabi said. "We're not going anywhere." Scar said, "Then you have sentenced us all to death." she said, "Then so be it." Scar retorted. "You can't do that!" "I am the king!" "If you were the king that Mufasa was…" Sarabi is cut off by Scar hitting her. "I am ten times the king Mufasa was!" Zira could hear the whole conversation, she could also hear roaring, and a lot of it. She hoped Scar would come back to the den soon. Suddenly, she saw flames and could hear the hyenas growling at something. She hears a strange noise sounding like someone saying "Luau!" but she was unsure of who it was. After awhile, Zira decided to see what was going on, and what she saw almost made her faint. Scar and Simba are on the cliff, with Simba on his back, Scar lunges at Simba to kill him. Simba overthrows Scar over the cliff, what she sees next is Scar being taken down by the hyenas. Zira was mortified, "Mother? Mother, what's going on?" came the voice of her son Nuka. "Its Scar, he's dead." Zira sobbed. "What, no he's not, mother stop messing…. Oh man you are serious!" "Father!" Nukka said in despair. Zira realized something, "Nuka, get back in that den! If Simba finds you or your little brother and sister, he will kill you!"
At that moment, they heard the roar of Simba becoming king. Zira walked out to find Simba, and when she did,she tried to strike him. But the other lionesses stopped her. "You traitor!" she yelled, "You killed Scar, the king!" "Scar was never the rightful king Zira, Simba is!" Nala said coming to the defense of Simba. "You fools, Scar was the best king we ever had!" "Not idiots like him or his father!" Zira shouted.
The lionesses and Simba tensed, about to attack her when Simba noticed out of the corner of his eye. It was Nuka, Zira's cub, only six months old and just lost his father, from behind him, he could make out two smaller cubs not even eight weeks old. For that reason, Simba sighed and called off the lionesses. Instead, he looked to Zira and said, "I will not kill you because your cubs are too young to be on their own, however, I banish you and anyone else who was loyal to Scar to the Outlands." You are to leave tonight." he finished. "You can't do that, I am the Queen!" Zira said outraged. "When Scar was alive, and king you were but not anymore, Nala is the new Queen of Pridelands." Simba said, turning towards teary-eyed Nala, and smiled lovingly at her. "Now get out!'
"One day Simba, I will be back and have my revenge, and then you'll be sorry you killed Scar!" Zira said laughing evilly she went to her cubs and picked up Kovu other lionesses picking up Vitani and Nuka. "And so begins the start of payback to Simba." Zira thought as she walked away with her small pride into the Outlands.
Well, how was this? Did it seem like I captured the movie right? What is Zira plotting, what will Simba do? And special shout-outs will be given to those who can guess who the mysterious animal is that shouted "Luau!".
