Hi everyone

Here's chapter 3. As usual see chapter 1 for disclaimer and I hope you all enjoy. Please favorite, follow and review.

Some moments after Nuka had left, both of the sisters had a bad feeling. Locking eyes, they seem to have understood – having felt the same... energy?

"I'm stealthiest outta our bunch, I'll go and watch to see if Zira really does her plans. Besides, I know the friends' of Simba that would be willing to both watch over us cubs and help the Pride Lands." Shari said to her sis, Azra.

"I'll get Vitani, Kovu and Kopa's baby siblings then." Azra nodded, reassuring her sister that none would be left behind to become another Zira victim..

Unbeknownst to Zira and her lionesses, a brown lioness had witnessed everything. Shari felt tears threaten to prick her eyes, yet managed from making a noise while they turned and left the King dead there. She didn't need to confirm for herself, as she knew already he was gone. Slowly, and carefully she snuck away from the scene – and once far enough, burst into a run soon coming across Nuka and Kopa; and now is when a few tears escaped her green eyes. "Nuka, Nuka! G-get Sarabi Nala! I'll watch Kopa to keep him safe!" The urgency in her voice told Nuka, though the older male didn't want to believe it but nonetheless hurried off to find said lionesses.

Meanwhile, Azra approached the one lioness currently babysitting the two toddler cubs, Kiara Kion respectively. "'Fina, sorry to bother you but uh... Me an' my siblings don't feel it's safe around here while mother's still around. Um, Nuka after all heard Zira talking about killing Kopa. And given how crazy she is, about Scar and all..." The younger lioness shook her head sadly, "My siblings and I are willing to look after the cubs by taking them to safety. Neighboring Pride, and old friends of Simba's... I..sense a war coming, I hope you trust us..." She lowered her ears slightly, as the two youngster cubs played obliviously while Sarafina looked alarmed as she got him. "Me and Sarabi trust you; take them – I'll explain to Nala later. Keep them safe, above all! I gotta find Zazu!" And with that, both lionesses separated ways – with Azra carrying both siblings in her mouth gently.

Shari looked sadly to Kopa, "Please come with me. It ain't safe here, as long as Zira roams these grasses. My siblings will join us shortly, we're going to Tojo's... We... I just want everyone young to be safe while the danger is dealt with." She gave him a comforting nuzzle, "Your dad would want you to be safe." Reluctantly, Kopa followed Shari as a guest of wind appeared to push them on wards albeit gently.

Azra with Kopa's two siblings, and Kovu and Vitani soon met up and headed off on their journey. While it certainly wouldn't be easy, they had each other and with determination and support they set their minds to making it.

Sarabi, Nala and Sarafina watched as the cubs' departed. A second later, Nuka walked up, with Timon and Pumbaa, both had sad faces as well and tears in their eyes. Nala knew that Simba would've wanted Timon and Pumbaa safe so she'll have to tell them to either go on their own, back to the jungle, or follow the cubs.

She choose the latter and let out a sigh before saying. "Timon, Pumbaa, you'll both have to go."

"Why?" the meerkat asked.

"Simba would've wanted the two men who'd raised him while growing up safe," Sarabi stated.

"Please go," Nala pleads. "The cubs will need you in the future like Simba and I needed you." she said the last part with a smile on her face, remembering when Timon and Pumbaa saved her at pride rock when all of the hyenas surrounded her and nearly kill her. "There will be dark times and they need you." Nala finished.

"Ok," Timon nodded and with that both were gone, going into the direction the cubs and the two lioness went into, ready for their journey as well.

Letting out a sigh, Nuka look at Nala, Sarabi and Sarafina, asking. "Well what's happens now?"

"Nuka," Sarabi said taking in an shaky breathe. Three years ago, today, Simba's father, Mufasa, had fallen in a similar way, saving the life of his love one. Like Mufasa, Simba was a wonderful father, mate and son. "I..."

Before she can finished, a roar was heard and all of the lionesses assemble. "Your majesty, Zira and her lionesses is coming." one of the lionesses informed the queen. Growling, Nuka walk infront of the pride landers and glared at Zira. "Nuka, get out of my way." Zira demanded.

"No, get out of the pride lands!" Nuka roared, for the first time feeling courage to his mother.

"Oh Nuka," Zira said, letting out a distasteful smile. "You're claiming the throne like your father would've wanted, now we shall win." Nuka turn to the pride lionesses, who all gave him worried face before turning back to Zira and her lionesses. "For once I am proud to call you my son."

"Shut up!" Nuka thundered, which cause all of the lionesses and even Zira to fall silent. "You only care about that beast! You've never cared about your cubs or even the other lionesses! And use them like garbage for your own personal gain! You have always hated me because I am so weak, but you and Scar never trained me and never got me any food! Then, when Scar died, you held such hatred for Simba who had been nice to me and treated me like his son and let the cubs live, despite the rules about when a new king is selected, all of the cubs are killed! Yes, Scar may have done the same thing, but he did it because he'd only wanted to look good infront of the pride and deceive them! What the hell is wrong with you?! Kings above you tried to kill a cub who had nothing to do with that! May I ask what kind of a mother will do that?! A crazy mother!"

Nuka knew his words touch all of their hearts in some way, beside one. "How dare you?!" Zira sneered and lept forward for her eldest son, whose merly dodge and send a blow.

"Nala taught me that one," Nuka smiled before pinning her down, with much force she never seen. "Goodbye Zira and no; your never going to see Kovu and Vitani again!"

"I'll have my revenge and get Kovu and Vitani back, they're my property." Zira declared, her voice low and dark, before standing up, wiping the sand off and walked away, into the outlands.

All of the lionesses were applauded by Nuka's behavior. Smiling, he gave Nala a nuzzle, then Sarabi and Sarafina then a few lionesses nuzzles. "What are we going to do now?" Sarafina asked. "We don't have a king."

"Beside Nuka," Sarabi declared with a bright smile.

"What?" Nuka heard what's she said and walk up to her. "Sarabi, I can't be King, I'm too weak."

"You ain't weak, Nuka, you did what a strong lion would've done," Sarafina pointed out. "Not many would have done what you had done."

"And we can easily fix that," Nala smiled. Nuka shot her a worried look. "Don't worry, we're tougher then we look."

"Ok," Nuka let out a sad sigh. While his sisters and the cubs have their own adventure across the moutain and in Tojo's pride, he has one of his own in the pridelands.
