Chapter 7: Kimba meets Mufasa

Everybody was asleep even Kimba, Zainabu, Ainra, Akida, and Ajabu were asleep, then Kimba heard someone crying, Kimba decided to check it out, then he later found Nala, she was upset but why? Then Kimba asks, " Why are you crying?"

Nala looks up at Kimba and says, " He is not Simba, he is not who he used to be."

Nala started crying again, Kimba nuzzled her just to get her to fell better, then Kimba says, " You just stay here and try to calm down, I'll go see what's up with him, besides me and Simba should get to know more of each other."

Nala then says, " Thank you, Richard."

Kimba says, " Your welcome, just call me, Kimba for now on."

Nala says, " Okay Kimba, be careful."

Kimba says, " I will."

Then Kimba left to find Simba, after about 10 minutes, Kimba found Simba and saw that he too was also upset, then Kimba says, " Hey cousin."

Simba turned his head and says, " Hey Richard."

Kimba says, " I no longer use that name, call me, Kimba."

Simba says, " Okay, um, Kimba, what are doing here?"

Kimba says, " Couldn't sleep, so I decided to find you, are you okay, you look upset, what's the matter?"

Simba says, " I don't want to talk about it."

Kimba says, " Come on you can tell me, I'm your cousin, remember, you can talk to me, I am not like my father, I am different, so what's up?"

Simba says, " I remember my father use to say, that the great kings of the past, would always be there to guide me, and so would he, but I don't see it happening, it seems hopeless."

Kimba says, " I never met your father, which is my uncle, I wish I could meet him."

Then Simba and Kimba hear a sound coming from behind them, they are getting annoyed, as Kimba says, " Let's go cousin, I know you don't hear none of that."

Then Kimba and Simba started walking away, what they don't know, is that Rafiki, the Prides shaman, is watching them, he see's that the prophecy is about to come true, Simba and Kimba made it to a log, Simba laid on the log as Kimba laid next to the log next to the water, they were staring at the water, then something hit the water, they saw the baboon from early, now Simba and Kimba are getting really annoyed, as Simba says, " Come on, will you cut it out?"

Kimba then adds, " It's getting on our nerves."

Rafiki then says, " Can't cut it out. It will only grow back."

Rafiki laughs as Simba says, " Creepy little monkey."

Then Simba and Kimba see Rafiki is following them as Kimba says, " Will you stop following us."

Simba then asks, " Who are you?"

Then Rafiki says, " The question is ... who ... are you?"

Kimba says, " I'm Kimba, used to be named Richard."

Simba was about to say something, but then forgot some, as he says, " I thought I knew, know I'm not so sure."

Rafiki then says, " I know who you are, come here it's a secret."

Kimba smiled, he knew what this baboon was going to do, Kimba knew this Baboon, he met him, just after he and followers found the NATO base years ago, Kimba has not seen him for a while, he was some how glad to see, then the Baboon was doing his African chat, as Simba says, " Enough already, what's that suppose to mean anyway?"

Rafiki says, " It means your a Baboon, and I'm not." He starts laughing, as Simba walks away with Kimba following behind him, as Simba answers back, " I think you a little confused."

Then Rafiki ends in front of Simba and says, " Wrong, I'm not the one whose confused, you don't even who you are."

Then Simba says, " Oh, and I suppose you know."

Rafiki then says his surprise, " Sure do, your Mufasa's boy."

That got both Simba and Kimba there attention, Kimba heard some sayings from some Pride members that told him about Mufasa some had said that he is Kimba's Uncle, Kimba was now wanting to know more about his uncle that he never met, Simba and Kimba turn to Rafiki as the Baboon says, " Bye."

Then Simba says, " Hey wait."

Kimba says, " Stop."

Then Simba and Kimba followed Rafiki, once they caught up to him, he was meditating, while Simba asks, " You know my father?"

Kimba also asks, " You know who my uncle is?"

Rafiki answers the two lions, " Correction, I know you father, and your uncle."

Simba then says sadly, " I hate to tell you this, but he died, a long time ago."

Rafiki then says, " Nope, wrong again." he laughs for a short time then says, " He alive, and talking to you two, you old Rafiki, he knows the way, come on."

Then Simba and Kimba followed Rafiki into a jungle area that has vines everywhere, they followed him until Rafiki says, " Stop."

Then Simba and Kimba stopped in front of Rafiki, then Rafiki says quietly, " Look out there."

Then Simba and Kimba walked over to Rafiki, then Simba walks over to the water, he looks down, he then looks ashamed then says, " That's not my father, it's just my reflection."

Rafiki says, " Look harder."

Kimba also looks at his reflection as well, both of Simba and Kimba's reflection fade, then Mufasa's takes place as Rafiki says, " You see he lives in you."

Then Simba and Kimba hear a voice coming from the sky, " Simba."

Then Simba answers back, " Father?"

Then suddenly clouds came out of nowhere, and made an image of Mufasa himself, Mufasa's spirit starts talking to Simba, " Simba, you have forgotten me."

Simba says to his father, " No, how could I?"

Mufasa's spirit says, " You have forgotten who you are, so you forgot me, look inside yourself Simba, you are more then what you have become, you and your cousin must take your places in the circle of life."

Simba asks, " How can I go back, I'm not who I used to be."

Mufasa's spirit says, " Remember, who you are, you are my son and the one true king along with your cousin."

Mufasa's spirit turns to Kimba and says, " Richard, also now known as Kimba, it is going to be even more dangerous when you head back to the Pridelands, my brother has now gotten a lot worse, since you left, you are going to need this for your journey."

Then something came out of the sky and hovering in the air, in front of Kimba, then Kimba gasps as he see's what it is and says, " It's an Amulet."

Mufasa spirit says, " This amulet, will help you in your journey, this is a gift from your mother, she wanted to give it to you, the one with enough courage and bravery in their heart can master this amulet, the amulet has a special power when it is in use."

The Amulet flew to Kimba and went around Kimba's neck and Kimba liked the amulet and says, " Thank you, Mufasa, I will always keep it with me, for the rest of my life."

Then Mufasa's spirit says, " Time is short, I must go, keep this in mind, both of you, remember who you are."

Mufasa's spirit is starting to fade, as Simba is now chasing after the clouds, " No, please, don't leave me."

Mufasa's voice says, " Remember."

Simba says, " Father."

Mufasa voice says, " Remember."

Kimba followed his cousin, then Simba stops running as he says, " Don't leave me."

Mufasa's voice fades away as he says, " Remember."

Then Simba and Kimba sit down looking at the sky, Rafiki came up and says, " What was that. Ha, ha. The weather- Pbbbah! Very peculiar, don't you think."

Kimba says, " Yeah, looks like the winds are changing."

Rafiki says, " Ahhh. Change is good."

Simba says, " Yeah, but it's not easy."

Kimba then says, " We know what we have to do."

Simba adds, " Going back means I will have to face my past, I been running from it for so long."

Rafiki then picks up his stick and smacks Simba in the head with it, as Simba says, " Ow."

Kimba says, " Oh damn."

Simba then asks, " Jeez, what was that for?"

Rafiki says, " It doesn't matter, it changed the past." Rafiki laughs as Simba says as he rubs his head, " Yeah, but it still hurts."

Rafiki says, " Oh yes, the past can hurt, but the way I see it, are you going to run from it or land from it."

Rafiki try's to hit Simba, but he ducked, then Rafiki tested Kimba, and he did the same, as Rafiki says, " Ha, you see, so what are you going to do?"

Simba says, " First, we're gonna take your stick."

Kimba agrees, " Yeah."

Simba takes the stick out of Rafiki hands and threw it with his mouth, as Rafiki says, " No, no, not the stick1" Rafiki picks up his stick as he see's Simba and Kimba leaving, as he asks, " Hey, where are you going?"

Simba answers as Simba and Kimba leave, " We're going back."

Rafiki then says, " Good! Go on! Get out of here!"

Rafiki begins laughing and screeching loudly, as Simba and Kimba disappear out of sight.

It is now morning, in the Oasis, Timon and Pumbaa were sleeping, Nala, Zainabu, Ainra, Akida, and Ajabu came started to wake up, Nala whispers to them, " Hey, hey, wake up."

Timon and Pumbaa woke up and saw two lions and three hyena's in front of them, by which it scared them, they were screaming, when Zainabu calms them down, " Guys calm down, it's us."

Timon then went to five and says, " Don't ever do that again! Carnivores, ugh!"

Nala asks, " Have you guys seen Simba?"

Zainabu then asks, " Or Kimba?"

Timon got confused and asks, " Kimba?"

Ainra then answers the confused Timon, " Richard."

Timon says, " Oh okay, but I thought they were with you."

Nala says, " They were, but now we can't find them."

Zainabu asks, " Where are they?"

Then heard laughter as they saw Rafiki, as he says, " Ha, Ha, Ha. You won't find them here. Ha, Ha. The kings have returned."

Then Nala says, " We can't believe it."

Zainabu says, " They gone back."

Timon says, " Gone back, what does he mean?"

Timon looks up at the branch and see's that Rafiki has disappeared, as he asks, " Hey, what's going on here? Who's the monkey?"

Ainra then adds, " Simba and Kimba has gone back to challenge Scar."

Timon asks, " Who?"

Akida repeats, " Scar."

Pumbaa asks, " Who's got a scar?"

Nala says, " No, no, no. It's Simba's uncle."

Ajabu says, " And Kimba's father."

Timon gets confused as he asks, " The monkey is Simba's uncle and Kimba's father?"

Nala, Zainabu, Ainra, Akida, and Ajabu says, " No."

Then Nala says, " Simba's going back to challenge his uncle, and Kimba's going back to challenge his father, and they are going to take his place as kings."

Then Timon and Pumbaa and now realize what they are saying as they say, " Ohhh."

Then Ainra, Akida, and Ajabu then wake the others up, they gave the news that Simba and Kimba have gone back, then Zainabu then told all of the followers to follow her back to the Pridelands, Nala helps Zainabu lead the way back, as Timon and Pumbaa follow them to Pridelands to help Simba, this is going to big fight of all time.

Kimba had just met his uncle for the first time, and got an amulet from Mufasa that is a special gift from his mother, what will happen next, read the next chapter to see, bye.
