A/N: Sorry about not updating yesterday, I've been busy. So, will Ghaibu succeed, or can the cubs find a way to stop him before he causes anymore trouble? Enjoy the chapter! Please Review!

DrBumbyIsEvil: Why would they stop exploring? Getting into life-threatening situations is what they do.

TLKLover1212: Yes, Ghaibu does have some issues, and he better be stopped before someone really gets hurt.


Chapter 4: Back to the Jungle

"How are we going to stop him?" Kora asked. "He's too tough to beat."

"I don't know but we better go make sure he doesn't hurt anybody." Nala told Kora and his sister. "Ghaibu isn't afraid to kill, and if he does, Simba will be blamed for it."

Nala, Tora, and Kora ran to the other side of the water hole where Ghaibu had went. When they got over there Ghaibu had already started to cause trouble.

"Come on, fight me!" Ghaibu said in Simba's voice. He was picking a fight with another cub.

"Why? I've never even talked to you before." the cub replied.

"So?" Ghaibu asked. "I think you're just scared." He was about to attack the cub anyway, but Nala interrupted.

"Stop!" Nala yelled as she and the other two came over. She stood in front of 'Simba' to stop him from doing anything to the other cub, who then ran away.

"Aw... Why did you ruin my fun..." Ghaibu said. "No matter. There's plenty more cubs to go after."

"Ghaibu, we will stop you." Nala said, glaring at him.

"Hahaha!" Ghaibu laughed. "I'd like to see you try."

"Fine!" Nala said as she walked back to Tora and Kora. "Tora, you stay here and keep an eye on him. Kora, you come with me." She said, grabbing Kora's paw as she walked by.

"Why? Where are we going?" Kora asked.

"We're going back to the jungle to see if we can find any clues on how to stop him." Nala answered. She looked back at Tora. "Just make sure he doesn't hurt any one."

"I'll watch him, don't worry." Tora replied.

Nala and Kora then made their way back to the jungle.


It took them a couple hours to get to the jungle. When they got there, Kora and Nala had to figure out where the old stone box was.

"Let's find the river first." Nala said. She listened closely for the sound of running water. "This way." Nala said as she walked toward where she heard the water. She and Kora found the river and discovered they were in the same spot as the last time they came to the river.

"I can find it from here!" Kora exclaimed as he went through some bushes with Nala following. After a few minutes of walking, Kora spoke. "There it is." he said pointing with a claw. Then he and Nala noticed something. There was a cub walking around the stone box looking nervous. Kora and Nala decided to walk over.

"Oh, no." the cub said. "He escaped, who could have released him?"

"That would be us..." Nala said nervously as she approached him.

"Do you realize what you've done?" the cub exclaimed. "You've unleashed the jungle's curse!"

"Sorry... We thought there was something cool in there..." Kora said. "Then we just-"

"Wait." Nala said interrupting Kora. "Who are you?" she asked the cub.

"I'm Kulaani." the light brown cub with orange eyes answered. "My pride lives here, in the jungle. Now, tell me, where did Ghaibu go?"

"He followed us back to our home in the Pridelands." Nala told Kulaani. "We came back to find some clues on how to stop him."

"There's only one way to stop him and seal him away again." Kulaani told them. "Follow me back to my pride, we have the way to defeat him." He turned around and began to walk away.

Nala and Kora looked at each other. They figured the best idea would be to follow him, so they did.


After a short walk, the three cubs arrived at a clearing in the jungle that was at the base of a cliff.

"Well, here we are." Kulaani said.

Nala looked around, but didn't see anybody. "Where is everyone?" she asked.

"Out hunting." Kulaani replied, walking towards a cave that was in the wall. "Come with me into the den." Kora and Nala followed. They walked in and came up to a second room. "You two wait here, nobody else is allowed in here except pride members. Kulaani went into the other room.

"What do you think he's doing?" Kora whispered.

"I don't know." Nala replied. "Hopefuly he helps us."

A few minutes later, Kulaani came out holding a sparking red gem in his mouth. He walked over to Kora and Nala and dropped it in front of them. "This will help you defeat Ghaibu." he told them.

"What is it?" Nala asked.

"This... is a Zinguo Jewel." Kulaani told them. "They are extremely rare and have the power to dispel evil."

"How do we use it?" Kora asked.

Kulaani looked at him. "It just needs to come in contact with Ghaibu." he answered. "However, if he has possessed sombody, he must come out of their body before he touches the jewel."

"What happens if he touches it while he is possessing someone?" Nala asked.

"He will still be sealed away, but whoever he is possessing goes with him." Kulaani told her. "They will never be seen again."


A/N: That jewel seems pretty powerful, let's hope they can use it to defeat Ghaibu... after he's out of Simba's body of course. Yes, Zinguo is Swahili, but I'll leave it up to you to figure out what it means. :P Come back tomarrow to see how it all turns out! Remember to Review! Thanks!
