Disclaimer: I don't own anyone except Kaiba, Kula, Sarina, Kaphu, Neeka, Sadie, and Shayla.

Simba ran to his father and helped him up.

"Dad, are you okay?" asked Simba worriedly.

"I'm fine, let's just get the kids and return to Pride Rock, and then we will decide what to do with Taka." Mufasa said.

"What about Neeka?" asked Simba, looking at the dead cub.

"We will take him with us, and then tell his parents. I'll get Zazu to find them." Mufasa said, walking over to Neeka and picking him up.

Simba nodded and went to the ledge where the kids were watching.

"Come on guys, time to go." He said and the kids followed the two lion's home.

Halfway there Mufasa cried out in pain.

"Dad! Are you okay?" Simba exclaimed and rushed to help him.

"Just a little bruised from the fight. Don't worry, I'll be okay. We'll get Rafiki to check on me after okay." Mufasa said.

Simba nodded and they continued walking to Pride Rock.

"Mufasa, oh my goodness, are you okay!" Sarabi exclaimed, running up to Mufasa and nuzzling him.

Simba turned to Kiara.

"Take your friends to the caves and stay there while we figure things out." He said.

Kiara nodded and they ran up to the caves.

Nala and the other lionesses rushed up to Simba and Mufasa, making sure they were okay.

"Zazu, find Neeka's parents and Rafiki and get them here now" Simba said to Zazu and he flew off in a hurry.

"Zira, take Neeka and put him somewhere safe, Nala, look after the children and everybody else scout the area. Look for Taka and bring him here. Sarabi, stay here and look after Mufasa for me." Simba said helping his father into the caves.

When the lioness had gone Nala took the children to the very top of Pride Rock to watch them. Rafiki ran into the caves where Mufasa was lying.

"Oh dear, Mufasa, what has happened?" he asked, sitting down and inspecting Mufasa's wounds.

"Taka, he killed Neeka and nearly killed the children. We fought him and he ran off." Mufasa said, groaning.

Rafiki lowered his eyes. "Okay, everybody out. I will come and get you when I am finished." Rafiki said, shooing Simba and Sarabi out.

Sarabi and Simba lay on the rocks, waiting for King Kaphu and Queen Sarina to arrive. When they arrived Simba ran up to them, explaining what happened.

"My father's brother, Taka, set the kids up and took them to the gorge. The wildebeest came running and Taka came to get us. We rescued the children but when Taka went to get Neeka he…… killed him." Simba said, closing his eyes.

Sarafina choked back a sob and Kaphu frowned.

"Where is Neeka?" asked Kaphu.

Simba pointed to some bushes and Kaphu and Sarina walked over and pulled them apart. Neeka lay on a flat rock, surrounded by flowers and petals. Sarina started to cry and buried her head into Kaphu's mane.

"I'm so sorry." Simba said. "We've sent out all our lionesses to find Taka and bring him back here."

"We shall help. Sarina, go back to the Shadow Lands and rally the lionesses, I will go and look." Kaphu said.

"Don't worry Queen Sarina I shall send Zazu." Simba said as Zazu flew off.

"Thank you. Can we keep Neeka and the kids here until we have found him?" Sarina said.

Simba nodded and went back to Sarabi, while Nala came back down with the kids.

"Take them to the waterhole, take them where ever, just keep them busy." Sarabi said to Nala.

Nala nodded and exited ride Rock with the kids in tow.

Suddenly Rafiki walked out with a sorrowful look on his face.

"I did everything I could, but he was too weak to survive." He said, sighing.

"No! It can't be true. Tell me it's not true." Sarabi said, blinking back tears.

She ran into the caves and saw Mufasa's dead body. She lay next to him and cried, muttering things to him about how she loved him. Simba came in slowly; he sat down in the corner of the cave and closed his eyes trying to control his sadness. He bit his lip and stood up again and walked outside.

Zazu flew into him.

"We found him! Where is Mufasa?" Zazu said.

"He is in the caves." Simba said.

Simba climbed to the top of Pride Rock and roared to all the lionesses to come back to Pride Rock. Group by group they came, the one with Taka last.

"Good work and thank you King Kaphu, Queen Sarina, Shayla and Sadie." Simba said to them as they came onto Pride Rock with Taka.

Zira walked up to Taka and frowned at him.

"Why Taka, why did you do this. You killed Neeka and your own brother." She asked him, tears streaming down her face.

She raised her paw and scratched him across the face, leaving a gash on either side of one eye.

"Now you will always remember what you have done, by your scar." Zira said, turning away from him.

"Hey Zira, call me Scar." He said, sighing.

"Shut up." she said and walked away to the other lionesses.
