Critical Situation

Chapter 1: Planning

It is sunny day, in the wastelands of the Outlands. Zira is out watching Kovu train. He had been trained for months to kill Simba, King of the Pridelands.

A few months ago, as a cub, Kovu meet Kiara, Simba's daughter, and princess of the Pridelands.

It was at the border of the Pridelands and Outlands. The border is made up by a river infested with Crocodiles, and there is a log on it's side, acting like a bridge between the Pridelands and Outlands.

They nearly escaped from being eaten by Crocodiles by working together. They made a friendship, but that friendship was split in half when Zira arrived and Simba, Nala, and the Pride arrived. Simba and Zira have been bitter enemies.

About a year earlier, Zira and her followers, The Outsiders, tried to stage a coup to overthrow Simba from the throne, but the coup ended in failure. As punishment Simba banished them because they attempted to overthrow him, also because they were loyal to Scar during the early years of his rule.

Zira vowed revenge against Simba, because she believed the throne belonged to her mate, and she also believed Simba was the one that killed Scar.

Zira introduced Kovu to Simba, and proclaimed that Kovu was hand chosen by Scar to follow in his paw prints and become a King.

Simba reminded Zira the penalty for returning to the Pridelands and Zira told Simba that Kovu doesn't know about the laws and the penalty. But Zira did a move that shocked Simba, she offered her son as a 'pound of flesh' to spare herself. She smirked evilly at him as if to say, 'Your move Simba'.

Simba turns down Zira's offer, and told her to take Kovu and get out, and that they were finished.

Zira then told Simba, they were not finished and that they barely begun.

Zira also remembered when she looked at Kiara as a cub, she gave an evil smirk and evil chuckle as if to say, ' I will get you one day alone, and I will have you and no one will stop me.'

She and Kovu left the Prideland side of the border.

Now months later, Zira watched her son Kovu grow, and today was the day.

Zira smiles at her son.

" You are ready." Zira said.

She then walks around Kovu inspecting him.

" Nice, very nice." Zira said

She chuckles evilly.

" You have a blackness in your soul that Scar had." Zira said.

Then she began going through the final test. A test of loyalty.

" What is your destiny?" Zira asks.

" I will avenge Scar. Take his place in the Pride Lands." Kovu answered.

"Yes! What have I taught you?" Zira asks with excitement.

" Simba is the enemy." Kovu answers with hate.

" And What... must... you... do?" Zira asks with anticipation.

" I must 'kill' him!" Kovu answer with hate again.

Then the Outsiders roared with approval. Zira had done it, she had trained her son to be a killer, now she has him pledge to her to reclaim the from Simba. Zira smiles at her work.

Zira along with Kovu then head to where Nuka and Vitani are.

Nuka and Vitani are Zira's children. Nuka is the eldest son, as he is Scar's son. Vitani was not Scar's daughter, but Zira had the impression that Scar would have loved her as his own. And Kovu, just like his sister, he too wasn't Scar's son, but he toke him in as his own and hand chosen him to be his successor. He was also Zira's child.

They begin planning on how to reclaim the throne.

But so far nothing was coming to mind.

They did plan a fire rescue, so Kovu will rescue Kiara and gain Simba's trust slowly and when he welcomes him with open arms, Kovu will kill him. But then problems began to surface. There is no way of telling if the fire rescue will work. One: Fire is unpredictable and it can turn on you in a flash and you are in trouble. Two: Even if the fire rescue was a success, Kovu would have to wait for the opportunity to strike, if time came, there is a risk of it failing and Simba would be forced to kill him, if he had no other choice. So that plan was scrapped.

Then Nuka just simply said it out loud.

" Why can't we just kidnap her?" Nuka said bluntly.

Zira would usually never listen to Nuka, but today her eldest son gave her an idea.

" That is it, we will kidnap her. " Zira said.

Zira turns to Vitani.

" Is there anything going on in the Pridelands? " Zira asks.

" Kiara is going out on her first solo hunt, Mother. " Vitani said.

" Perfect! You and Nuka create a stampede to where Kiara will be forced to run, then Kovu will come to the rescue, to force her to follow him to 'safety', they will go into a cave to catch a breath, then you, me, and Nuka will take her and bring her here. Once we have her, Simba will have no choice but to give in to our demands and make you the new king, Kovu. " Zira said with confidence.

Then Kovu begin to wonder.

" Mother, are you sure, they are safe from any possible attempt by Simba, if he try's to rescue his daughter instead of giving into our demands?" Kovu asks.

Zira was surprised at his question. But Zira simply shrugged it off.

" Do not worry. Any attempt to do a rescue mission will be a suicide mission, plus if he doesn't give us what we want. We will kill her and take his kingdom by force." Zira said.

After that, they all agreed with the plan and begin preparations.

Zira walks away and begins talking to herself.

" I am doing this for you Scar. I will finally have my revenge on Simba." Zira said.

Zira then heads out to help carry out her plan.
