Chapter 4: Intruder!

Its the next night at pride rock. Eva Shumba and Samba Slept in their mothers arm's. Once again Simba was snoring. All was quiet ove the pridelands. But at the border seperating the outlands fron the pridelands. A rouge lion walked over the border, and headed towards pride rock. Kovu woke with a start. It was still dark. All of a sudden he got a weird feeling. Somthing didn't feel right. He listened to is instincts and went over to Simba.

"Simba wake up!" he whispered rather loudly into Simba's ear

Simba cracked an eye open.

"yes your highness?" he asked smiling despite being half asleep.

"Something doesn't feel right im going to check it out and I want you to came with me"

The old lion sat up and grumbled.

"fine" he said stretching and getting to his feet properly.

The two males walked out o the cave and down the slope leading to the plains of africa. It didn't take long before Simba picked up the rouges scent. He was close too. He told Kovu to stay close. Kovu heard something move in the bushes. Simba turned to the bushes. Suddenly the rouge revealed himself. He was the same size as Simba.. he had dark brown fur and piercing red eyes. And a black mane. A Smile slid across his face.

"hello brother" he Snarled Grinning at kovu.

Kovu was clueless. The only brother he had, died when their mother Zira chased Simba up the logs. Or did he?

"Nuka?" kovu whispered in disbelief.

"Correct!" he said evily smiling towards Simba

" and you will both DIE! So I can finally take my place as king! MY father would be proud" He Screeched.

kovu and Simba were still speechless

"But how?" Kovu asked confused.

Nuka tensed his shoulders and growled

" you must know termite! I faked my death".

"But but I saw the log fall on you" Kovu stuttered still confused

"yes I was hurt for weeks but, before the battle I escaped. I wanted mother to feel bad after everything she put me through and as you can see I am no longer a weakling like you are, plus i no longer have those blasted TERMITES!" said Nuka as he spat in kovus face.

"Now where was I?" asked Nuka being sarcastic.

"oh yes I was just about to KILL you!"

"Kovu run! you must warn the others!" Yelled Simba

Kovu hesitated but turned and ran.

"Where you going KOVU you weakling come back here!" Taunted Nuka.

As nuka went to pursue Kovu Simba jumped in his way.

"your not going anywhere OUTSIDER" Growled Simba as he stood his ground.

Nuka lunged at Simba, biting down on Simbas shoulder. Simba Delivered a hard Blow to Nuka's head. Nuka roared and raked his shiny claws down Simba's back...

Kiara woke up and looked around. Where was Kovu and Simba? Then Kovu ran through the cave entrance.

"Simba! he's in trouble!" he panted.

kiara roared Waking the pride up.

"Get up!" she shouted as the lionesses got to their feet shaken.

"Stay with the cubs"said Kiara to Kovu as she ran out the cave.

The lionesses followed her eagerly. kovu Picked up the now awake frightend cubs and one by one took the to the deepest part of the cave. Kiara led the pride down the rocky slope. It didn't take long for them to Know where they were. Simba was tireing fast. Nuka smacked Simba in the fell on his back tired, Nuka hit him again, drawing more blood, then he sank his teeth into Simba's neck and threw him into the water. But then Nuka heard something. He spun around to see Kiara's paw hit him in his face. Sarabi and Sarafina bit into each of Nuka's back legs. A lionness had him pinned Growling at stood there gob smacked. Was it Nuka?. Kiara and Nala ran up to Simba. He lay motionless in the shallow water. Kiara

"Dad?" Kiara nuzzled Simba.

He opened his eye and smiled at her and Nala.

Nala had tears in her eye's.

"Im so proud of you Kiara". Simba whispered

"Nala I love you too". Simba closed his eyes and entered into darkness.

Vitani stood over Nuka Angrily.

"You IDIOT Nuka!" Vitani's face went hard.

Nuka laughed. Vitani coudn't control her temper any more. She shoved Sarafina and Sarafina off Nuka and Sliced her claws across his face. Nuka yelped. Vitani dug her claws into her brothers shoulders and threw him into some rocks. Nuka opened his eye's Vitani then grabbed his neck and dragged the mangled lion to kiara.

" Want do you want me to do with him Kiara!" she spat rubbing his blood off her face with her arm.

Kiara turned around eye's flooded with tears.

"Kill him !" she Squealed as she Cryed.

Vitani nodded at the other lionesses. Nuka, too weak to move did nothing. The lionesses moved in for the kill. vitani looked at Kiara.

"you should get back your cubs they will be hungry"said Vitani as she put her arm around her

"you and Nala should go back i'll deal with Nuka"

Nala followed Kiara back to pride rock so Kiara could feed her cubs.

"Where's Simba?" asked Kovu as they stepped in through the entrance.

"Dead" said Nala as she burst into tears.
