A/N: The cubs are in trouble and there's no way out. This is a very bad situation, but they can get out of it... Right? Hope you like the chapter!
Mew Siul: You make some good points about Sora, but he is truly full of hate. It has been inside of him since the day he was born and he was raised to be ruthless and cruel. Maybe he could change, but hate is all he's ever known.
snheetah: Yes, Scar definately needs to see a psychiatrist and so does Sora. Sora a little bit more than Scar I think. This time, Sora will stop at nothing to achieve what he wants...
Chapter 3: Fatal Encounter
"Uh, oh..." Kora said as he looked at Sora, who's glowing golden eyes were glaring at him.
"You better not hurt him!" Tora growled.
Sora just smiled evilly at her before lifting Kora off the ground with his power. "Heheheh... I've been wanting to do this for so long..." Sora said. Tora tried to move, but Sora made that impossible. "Say goodbye to your brother, Tora."
Kora suddenly felt like everything inside of him was being crushed. "It... hurts..." he said, now stuggling to breathe.
"Stop!" Tora yelled, still trying to move, but it was no use.
"I don't think so." Sora said.
Kora's pain was getting worse. "AHHHH!" he screamed before Sora dropped him to the ground. Kora wasn't moving. Sora unfroze the other cubs and they ran over to Kora.
"I-is he breathing?" Tora asked, starting to cry.
Simba listened for breathing and brought his head up. "No..." he said. "H-he's gone."
That's when Tora and the others completely broke down. Now, one of their best friends was dead. They knew they would be next, but they weren't going down easily...
"We need to get out of here." Simba said. He walked towards Sora. "Okay, we surrender. You can take us prisoner..."
"What!" Nala exclaimed. Simba just gave her a look like he had a plan.
"Good." Sora said. "You finally realize-" He was interrupted by Simba's claws slashing his right eye. "AHH!" Sora fell to the ground in terrible pain.
"Quick follow me!" Simba said as he started running. Nala and Mheetu followed him, but Nala stopped when Tora didn't come. She was still standing over her brother's body, crying.
"Tora, let's go!" Nala yelled to her.
"We can't just leave him here!" Tora cried.
"Then pick him up and bring him." Nala answered. "We need to hurry!"
Tora picked up her brother's lifeless body and followed Nala. They ran by Sora, who had blood running out of his eye. He was in too much pain to stand up. Sora looked at the hyenas. "Well, what are you waiting for!" he exclaimed. "Get them, you idiots!" The hyenas started to chase after the cubs.
Simba led them down the other side of Pride Rock, they had to get back to the Outlands. The cubs looked behind them and saw the hyenas were gaining on them. "Hurry!" Simba yelled. "I can see the Outlands!" They kept running until they crossed the border. They ran further into the Outlands.
"I'm not going any farther." one of the hyenas said. "We'd die in that heat."
"Yeah." said another. "Let's go back." All the hyenas went back to Pride Rock.
The cubs managed to find a cave after a few minutes. It was cool inside. "That was close." Simba said. "What do we do now?"
"I don't care..." Tora said, putting Kora's body down. "Maybe we should've just let them kill us..."
"No." Nala said. "It wouldn't change anything, I don't think Kora would want you to get yourself killed."
"Kulaani and the others should be back soon." Mheetu said. "Hopefully they'll bring back something useful."
"Until then, we should just wait here." Simba said. "It's safe and it's cool in here." The cubs decided to all take a nap, but none of them could sleep, knowing that one of their friends was dead.
Kulaani, Vitani, and Kula were had made it to Kulaani's pride in the jungle. He let them come with him to look at the many mystical objects that his pride had.
"What's this thing do?" Kula asked. She was holding a clear red orb.
"Be careful with that!" Kulaani yelled. "If it breaks, the whole jungle will go up in flames!"
Kula gently set it down. She looked at all the other stuff and saw a flower that had blue petals and a red center. "This is pretty." she said as she picked it up and sniffed it.
"Wait! Don't... sniff that... too late." Kulaani said. "Three... Two... One." Kula suddenly passed out.
"Will she be okay?" Vitani asked.
"Yeah, she'll be fine." Kulaani replied. "It just made her go to sleep, she should wake up in about an hour." He continued to get gems and other objects and put them in a pile. "Okay these should be enough."
"How are we supposed to carry all that?" Vitani asked.
"Hm... We can use this." he answered. It was a bowl shaped object made of glass. "It can carry things and it can't break." He pushed the pile of objects into the bowl shaped object and picked it up in his mouth.
"I'll get Kula." Vitani said as she put Kula on her back. "Okay, let's go. Hopefully, we're not too late..." The three cubs left the jungle, not knowing what had happened in their absence...
A/N: That's right, it was Kora. At least the rest of them got away. Scar will appear more, but how will they beat him? What on earth are all those things Kulaani has, well, who knows. They could be anything... Hope you liked this sad chapter. Please review! Thank You! :)
