At last, Zira had been defeated, and the Lions were all at peace. Kovu and Kiara were together, and Simba looked at the victory in front of him. He looked up to see Mufasa in the sky. "Well Done, Simba." He said. Everything was at peace. Or was it?

"Kovu, aren't you ready for a kid?" Kiara asked Kovu, who was eating a very bloated rat, in a similar manor as Scar, despite he didn't realize or think. As soon as she said this, he gagged on the rat, which had Pumbaa, with Timon riding along, ram into him screaming. The rat had plopped on the floor. Timon was disgusted. As soon as Kovu recovered from nearly choking, he went up to Kiara. "A Kid? Wouldn't you think it's a little early for that?!" Kovu asked. "Well, that's how it worked with my father." Kiara replied. "That's not how it worked in... Oh. Wait A Minute. I don't remember my parents. All I remember is Zira and all of my siblings." Kovu replied. "Well, is there a reason you bring this up?" Kiara asked. "I say this because I don't want kids right now. Maybe a bit later, but we've only been together for a few weeks." Kovu said. "And maybe for about 30 seconds more." Said a voice in Kovu's head, which was Zira. She also was standing right in front of him. He saw her and tried to attack, but he was able to figure out she was just his imagination. "Kid, what's gotten into you?!" Timon asked. "I don't know, I just saw Zira." Kovu replied. "What?! You're out of your mind!" Timon said. "No joke." Kovu said. Timon died out laughing in disbelief, but Pumbaa just looked at Timon like "...Stop..." as Kovu tried to eat Timon. "Hey! Hey! I'm Sorry I won't laugh at you anymore! At that anyway!" Timon said, having the tar scared out of him. Kovu put him down. "Hey, I'm not going to kill you." Kovu said. "I'm messing with you when I tried to eat you. I know why you wouldn't believe me." Kovu explained. "Believe what?" asked Simba, who'd came into the cave. "Simba, you wouldn't get it. Hallucination." Kovu said. "Hallucination? Don't we all do that in the morning?" Simba thought. "Never mind. Can me and Kiara just have a one on one talk here? I'm sorry if I'm upsetting you Simba by being loud." Kovu said. "You weren't. I'm just dropping by. Timon, Pumbaa, lets go." Simba said. "Well, you heard him." Timon said to Pumbaa as he jumped onto his back, and he ran out. "Ok, Kiara, I was saying that I'd like to destroy a community--" Kovu began. "Wait, What?" Kiara asked. Simba turned around confused. Kovu heard Scar laughing, despite being unaware of how Scar sounded. "What? Oh, I'm sorry!! I guess I said what came off the top of my mind, I guess." Kovu said, chuckling nervously. "What I was saying was I'm not ready to have kids. Don't you see how hard it was on your dad to raise you? We almost died at the hands of crocodiles, or alligators, I don't remember." Kovu said. "Kovu, why don't aren't you ready? Didn't you know this was coming?" Kiara asked. "Yes, I'd like to have kids, but not right now." Kovu explained. "Ok, not now, but what about tommorow?" Kiara asked. "No." Kovu replied. "The next day?" Kiara asked. "No!" Kovu said again. "The next day?" Kiara asked. Kovu jumped onto Kiara, playfully. "Whenever I'm ready, Kiara. Whenever I'm ready." Kovu said, as him and Kiara playfully dished it out. They went so far as to chasing each other, and stumbled into Simba's Darkest Fear: The Elephant Graveyard. This was clearly by accident. Except this time, Scar was dead. He had no Hyenas, and even if he survived, the Hyenas betrayed him anyway. "How about we check the place out?" Kovu asked. "I don't know. This place is spooky." Kiara responded, as Kovu just kept going. "I like spooky things." Kovu replied. He looked around, and he found the corpse of his older brother Nuka. Apparently, when he was crushed, Zira and the former outsider lions brought him to rest in the Elephant Graveyard. The body had been decaying upon it's arrival.

Regardless, Kovu checked out the place, and he found a cave sort of area in one of the elephant skulls. Kiara followed him. "You know, maybe when we have Kids, we'll have them here." Kovu said. "Great Idea! They'll be good lunch!!" Said a female voice, accompanied by a demonic laugh. This belonged to Shenzi The Hyena, who along with Banzai and Ed, survived the events of the first film. Kiara got behind Kovu. "This place needs some cleaning." Said Banzai, who'd came out of the same cave. Ed came out, just laughing his head off. "Wait a minute!" Shenzi thought. "Scar?!" She said to Kovu. "Scar is dead. You have the wrong Lion." Kovu responded. "Well, you look like Scar. If you were him, you'd be dead." Shenzi replied. Ed laughed his head off. "I think we'd better go." Kiara insisted. "Go where?" Banzai asked. "Away from you!" Kiara said. "Gee, that's a bit hard." Banzai said, as Ed laughed his head off. The three Hyenas circled Kiara. Kovu attacked Banzai, and Banzai would probably try to keep his distance after this. "Listen up, Hyena." Kovu said. "The names Banzai!" Banzai insisted. Kovu roared at him, scaring Banzai. "You hurt anyone, ANYONE, you're dead." Kovu said. "I'll be king soon. You'll never go hungry aga--" Kovu said, mildly sounding like Scar. All three Hyenas looked at him in confusion. Kovu roared more angrier than Simba ever did. All the Hyenas ran for cover. They hid in the former lair of Scar. "What was that?!" Shenzi asked in fear. "It had to Scar's little boy. He's defending the grounds because we killed Scar." Banzai explained. "Bro, you've missed a lot!" Said an unfamiliar voice. Another Hyena, with a head of Hair with Dreadlocks. "You are?" asked Shenzi. "The Names Dreadlock. I've been running the clan since you, Banzai and Ed ran off." Dreadlock, the unfamiliar voice, replied. "May I introduce the rest of the clan?" He continued. "I'm in this buisness supporting Count Dreadlock!" said Parazi, A Female Hyena who looked like the other hyenas, but she is Pink and Grey instead of Black and Grey. "Call me Packrat!" said Packrat, another generic looking Hyena, except Muscular. "Call me Jazz." Said Jazz, a generic looking Hyena. "I see you got some new recruits." Shenzi said. "Plenty. These aren't all of them." Dreadlock replied. "Guess what? The Monkey Man Rafiki is attempting some resurrection. You know, it is the King's Birthday today!" Dreadlock said. "He's resurrecting Mufasa?" Banzai said. Shenzi, Banzai and Ed fell into laughter. "What else he gonna do?! Bring back Scar so we can kill him again?" Shenzi asked.

"Scar would have done anything to support you three and you murdered him."

Jazz said. "He turned on us!" Banzai insisted. "Intentionally? NO!" Shouted Packrat. "What it was, was that Scar had found himself cornered by Simba, and he blamed you by Accident." Dreadlock explained. Shenzi, Banzai and Ed laughed hysterically. "Why do you expect us to believe this?" Shenzi asked. "Because another lion will get you if you don't." Dreadlock insisted. "We call him Shetani." He added. "Him? He's an old little cubs story! He's not real!" Banzai said. "You can't prove that!" Dreadlock told him. "We'll know how to summon him, just as we get the stuff Rafiki is using, we'll use it to bring him to life, like we're going to with Scar. Let's get the monkey man." Dreadlock said. "Do it yourself!" Banzai said. "Leave me out of this." Shenzi said. Ed was shivering in fear of Dreadlock. "Join us!" said an Older, Female Hyena. "Mom!" yelled Dreadlock. "When did this apply to you?" he asked. Her name is Ariza, and she is the mother of Dreadlock. She looked similar to Dreadlock, except with no hair and old, wrinkly fur and skin. Ed joined them, now over being scared. "Are you sure about this, Ed?" Asked Banzai. Ed laughed and ran with the heard of Hyenas. Just then, Ariza laid down, and wouldn't get up. "You guys go, I'll be waiting. Get Scar back to life, kid!" She yelled at Dreadlock.

Back in the Pride Lands, Simba and Nala were talking. "Why do I feel so overprotective of Kiara all of a sudden?" Simba asked Nala. "Because, you are, Simba." Nala replied. "Uhhh...thanks?" Simba asked sarcastically. "Well, you are, but I'm not sure why you are. Something to do with your past, maybe?" Nala asked. "Probably." Simba replied. "How couldn't it be?!" Timon said from the entry of the cave, riding on Pumbaa into the cave. "You've had a very troubled past, Simba. We've raised you. We were like parents." Pumbaa explained. "Pumbaa, saying we're his parents doesn't help anything." Timon explained. "He has parents, a dead father-" Timon continued. "-and a still living, but old mother." Nala added in. "Life's never gotten any easier. First my uncle accuses me of a murder, and then my daughter thinks it's her fault because of Zira's death, I mean, cut me a break!" Simba rambled. "She'll have to learn to realize, Simba." Nala reminded him. "Teenage years. The terrible 2's." Timon said. Simba and Nala looked at him funny. Just then, Kovu and Kiara ran to Simba. "Oh, jeez, What's happening this time?!" Timon asked. "Hyenas!" Kovu said. "Hyenas? But we took care of them when Scar was still living. They ran away, I thought." Simba said. Just then, he heard some wild laughter. Simba, startled, looked over the rock, and saw an entire group heading towards Rafiki. "Nala, Kiara, we have some danger ahead. Kovu, you come on and fight with me. Let's go!" Simba said, running into where Rafiki was. Kovu went up to Kiara. "This is in case they kill me." He told her, gave her a few cat loves and ran off. "Simba, can you give me a strength description on the Hyenas?" Kovu asked Simba. "The Hyenas are against us lions, and they will eat us if we don't fight back. They have to be taken down physically, yes." Simba explained. "I figured." Kovu replied. Simba and Kovu headed off to fight The Hyenas.
