Lion King Two, Simba's Pride With Kopa Instead of Kiara

Chapter Four: Scar's Chosen and Zlra's Plan

Authors notes :Hello this chapter is Kind of like the conversation that Zira had with Kovu. In lion king 2 Kiara wasn't seen that much of a threat by Zira so she had no need to do something to her. Kopa would get big and be a threat so the plan changes a little bit.

Zira carried Vitani in her mouth until they arrived near their hideout in the Outlands.

She dropped Vitani and asked her, "What were you thinking Vitani?"

Vitani answered, "I was just playing with that cub."

Zira said, "You foolish girl. He's not just a cub. He's Simba's son."

Vitani said, "What's so bad about that?"

Zira snapped, "Who killed Mighty Scar?"

"Simba," responded Vitani.

Then Zira asked, "And who exiled us to the Outlands away from our home in the Pridelands?"

Again Vitani responded, "Simba."

"What? Did you think that if you got acceptance from the son, that Simba would just let you into his kingdom with open arms," Zira asked?

Then Zira thought about this idea for a little while. Then she said, "That's ingenious! You must be getting just as evil as your mother. But there is no guarantee that this plan will even work. So I must to think of something else." Then she picked up her cub and took her to the Outlands.

Now Kovu is Vitani's brother and the cub chosen by Scar to be his successor, even over his own son Nuka. Kovu and Vitani are Nuka's half brother and sister. Nuka hates Kovu because he is Scar's chosen. That day, Kovu was playing In the Outlands with a mouse that he caught running around. He messed with it and loved to play with his food like Scar. While he was playing with it, Nuka took it from him.

Kovu said, "Nuka, you loser. Give me back my mouse right now!"

Nuka laughed and said smugly, "Every lion for himself." And he swallowed the mouse.

Kovu was upset with Nuka so he jumped into the air and with his paw he scratched Nuka on the face.

Nuka raised his paw to scratch Kovu across the face, but before his paw was even a foot away from Kovu's face, Zira pushed him hard into a tree.

"Ouch! Mother, why did you do that to me? I didn't do anything," said Nuka.

"You didn't do anything? I must be going blind because I clearly saw you about to hurt Kovu," Zira said.

Then Nuka started to say, "Well mother. . ."

Zira interrupted, "Kovu, Scar's chosen successor who soon enough, if you touch him, will do a lot worse to you then scratch your face."

Then she turned to Kovu and asked him in a nice, soft voice, "Kovu, why did you scratch your brother in his face?"

"I did it because I caught a mouse. Then I played with it for a little while. Then, right before I was going to eat it, Nuka took it and ate it," Kovu said.

"Nuka is this true," asked Zira?

"Yes Mother it is," said Nuka.

"Well Nuka, I want you to catch five mice for Kovu and five for Vitani," Zira said.

"But mother" said Nuka.

Zira growled "But nothing! Now go and get out of my site."

Kovu and Vitani laughed and thanked their mother for getting Nuka to catch them some mice. She gathered them up and put them in their sleeping den.

She said to them, "get some rest my children. You will need to be strong killers if you wish to rule Pride rock one day."

After she put her cubs to sleep, she gathered the Lionesses together and said to them, "I have a plan."

The lionesses asked what her plan was.

She said, "Simba is much too strong to attack. So we have to wait for Kovu to be strong enough to beat Simba before we attack also have to realize that Simba isn't our only threat."

One of the Lionesses asked, "What is the other threat?"

So Zira said, "One day Simba's son is going to be just as big and just as strong as he is if not bigger and stronger. So my daughter had a brilliant plan. We get Kopa to accept her and Simba to trust her. She will lead them off and we will strike!"

"Why can't we lead them," asked another Lioness?

Zira responded "That's a good plan but it's just too risky to pull off right now. So I have a different plan. My plan is that we kill Kopa. We should kill him now before he is a serious threat."

The lionesses roared in delight because they loved the idea of killing the cub.

Meanwhile Kovu, Vitani, and Nuka were talking.

Nuka said, "Here are your mice you two."

Then Kovu and Vitani begin to eat their mice.

"I could take Simba down easy. He wouldn't even be a challenge," Nuka said.

Vitani laughed and said, "You wouldn't last one minute with Simba. You even last a minute with us."

Nuka quickly responded, "He can't be that tough."

Vitani said, "Have you seen him? He's huge! And he has giant teeth."

Nuka said, "Come on, he can't be that much bigger than me."

Vitani said, "Are you serious? You are like 350 pounds, Simba weighs at least 550 Pounds."

Kovu said, "Besides, we all know that I'm the one who is going to take Simba down."

"Right now, Kovu would last longer against Simba than you would Nuka," Vitani said.

"What? That runt wouldn't last a minute against Simba," Nuka said.

"Mother said Kovu and I are much bigger and stronger than you were at our age," Vitani responded.

"But I'm still the biggest and strongest here," said Nuka.

"Please, half the lionesses here are bigger than you," Kovu said.

"And besides, Kovu will be much bigger than you when we grow up," said Vitani.

As they were talking, Zira came by and asked them what they were talking about.

They said that they were talking about the chances of Nuka beating Simba.

Zira said, "The same chances a mouse would have with a Buffalo."

They all laughed except Nuka.

Nuka laughed, "Hahaha! You are so funny."

Kovu said, "More like the chances of a slug killing an elephant."

Then Vitani and Kovu laughed.

Zira said, "Tomorrow we will be one step closer to our goal of taking back the Pridelands."

"Why is that Mother," asked Vitani?

"You will see soon enough. Now you get your rest."She nuzzled her two cubs to sleep. Then she walked outside and called Nuka.

After Zira and Nuka left, Kovu asked Vitani, "So what did you do today Vitani?"

Vitani answered, "I met this cub named Kopa. He was really fun to play with. But then Mom and Simba came and broke up the fun."

Kovu asked, "Did Simba seem really big and scary?"

Vitani said, "Yeah, and he also looked very angry at mother."

Kovu asked, "Do you think that I will be able to beat him one day?"

Vitani said, "Yes Kovu, you will get a lot bigger than Nuka. And everyone here is with you. And that Simba doesn't stand a chance."

Kovu responded, "Thanks Big Sis."

Meanwhile Nuka said, "Yes mother, what do you need?"

"I have no idea what might happen tomorrow. So Nuka, you must keep your guard up. Protect Kovu and Vitani at all costs. If I am successful, they will need it."

"Successful doing what mother," asked Nuka?

Zira responded with a sinister smile, "Successful at killing Simba's heir."
