Ch.6
Zira crashed into the water, then everything went black. A few seconds later she woke up in a white room with memories she had from her past. Raffiki was standing right next to her, pacing back and forth. A few seconds later, Dotty appeared. Zira smiled at her and turned to Raffiki.
"What is this? And what are you doing here?" Zira asked in a worried tone.
"Dis is your mind, and all of your memories. I am here because I am needed to make sure everything goes according to plan."
"You mean our plan right?" Dotty asked menacingly.
"Of course. Now Zira, what memory do you want to travel to?" Raffiki asked Zira, his voice soft and frightened.
Zira looked around at her memories, her eyes widened with fascination. Her eyes came to a memory of watching hyenas and lions fighting each other with Scar standing behind the hyenas. Then Simba and Mufasa came charging through the line at Scar and fought him, pinning scar to the ground. Then Zira and Dotty watched in horror as Scar dove at Mufasa but missed and jumped over the edge.
"Take me back to that memory now!" Zira commanded.
"Wait!" Dotty yelled at Zira grabbing her attention.
"What is it?" Zira asked impatiently.
"How are we going to beat Mufasa and Simba? I mean… we outnumber them and all, but they still are stronger than we are," Dotty mumbled her words around, scared of Zira's impatient tone.
Zira paced back and forth for a minute, then looked up and turned to Raffiki.
"Is there any way you could make us stronger?" Zira asked quickly.
"Uh… No," Raffiki spoke softly and mumbling while rolling his eyes.
"Are you lying to me mandrill?" Zira interrogated Raffiki, jumping on him and raising a claw in the air.
"Okay! Okay!" Raffiki yelled admittingly.
Zira smiled and backed off, waiting for Raffiki's answer.
Raffiki sighed. "I cannot make you stronger, but I can make more of you."
"How?" Dotty asked.
"The Forbidden Pool cannot make clones of you, because if you saw the same version of yourself at the age, it would make a hole in the space time continuum. So therefore, I will make different versions of you," Raffiki said.
"We are wasting time," Zira said.
"Then we should get started," Raffiki replied as he closed his eyes and he put his hands upwards.
"Nguvu kutoka juu, mimi sikutakini ya kuunda mifumo tofauti ya simba haya!" Raffiki yelled.
A giant whirlwind appeared, then it split into 4 different whirlwinds. Zira and Dotty covered their faces from the wind as the wind started to slow down.
When the wind stopped, Zira and Dotty opened their eyes.
Standing before them were two males and two female cubs.
"Zira and Dotty, I present to you, your soldiers."
Zira immediately walked up to them, while Dotty stood behind Zira.
"What are your orders?" One of the males asked her.
"First, tell me your names," Zira commanded.
"My name is Zira," the male in front of Zira said as well as the female cub in front of Zira.
"Hello! My name is Dotty," the female cub said as the male smiled, knowing the real Dotty probably knew his name as well.
Zira smirked at them.
"Tell me, Zira. Who is it you seek to destroy?" Zira asked.
"I seek to destroy Simba and his legacy," the male Zira answered.
"Very good answer," Zira laughed.
Zira turned to Raffiki, who was pacing impatiently.
"Well done Raffiki. Now I will be off," Zira commanded.
"As you wish," Raffiki opened a worm hole and they all jumped into it, ready to take back what they had lost.
Scene Change: Nala ran ahead of the pride, her instincts taking over, smelling for any signs of Zira and Dotty.
A scent.
She roared to her fellow pride that she had found something. They roared back to signal they heard her.
She slowed down, putting her nose to the ground to follow the scent of the two lionesses. She
continued to follow it until the pride had caught up with her.
When they did, Simba slowly walked up to the front where Mufasa and Nala where.
"What is it?" Simba asked Nala.
"I just picked up a scent of Zira and Dotty," Nala told him.
"Do you know which way they were headed?" Mufasa asked.
Simba looked around at his surroundings.
"There headed for the forbidden Pool," Simba said.
"Well it shouldn't be too far off,"Mufasa thought to himself.
"I wouldn't worry about it because they would need Raffiki to find it," Nala stated.
"Yes, but how could they have gotten this far without knowing the Forbidden Pool's location?" Mufasa questioned.
There was silence for a few moments, then Mufasa spoke.
"If they've gotten this far, they probably took Raffiki and forced him into providing the location."
Silence.
"We need to get to the Forbidden Pool now! Before Zira goes back to the past and redoes everything I've worked for to bring you here!" Simba commanded.
"Everyone! Spread out and look for the Forbidden Pool!" Simba ordered.
The pride spread out like a fan across the savannah, looking for it. Mufasa walked along the river's edge, looking for it. A few minutes later, he yelled to everyone he had found it.
Simba, Nala, and Mufasa looked into the water and saw Zira and Dotty's body floating in the water.
"Yes, they entered the Forbidden Pool," Mufasa spoke sadly.
"However, Raffiki will be down there if he helped them out," Mufasa said.
"Okay then, who's going?" Simba asked.
"We are all going," Nala said.
"What about the pride?"Mufasa asked Simba.
Simba nodded and turned to face the pride.
"I am very sorry, but all of you going to have to turn around and head back to Pride Rock. We three are going to solve this problem alone."
"But Simba, we want to help defeat Zira and make her pay for what she's done!" One of the lionesses said.
"Listen, I know how much you wan't to help us, I really do. However, Zira and Dotty may not be the only traitors among us," Nala suggested as several murmers could be heard in the pride.
"We know that Mufasa, Simba, and I all want what's best for the pride. You can all trust us."
Most of the lionesses nodded and said there goodbyes to the trio as they slowly walked back to pride rock, ready for a long nap.
Mufasa, Nala, and Simba turned to each other and one at a time jumped into the pool.
Scene Change:
When Mufasa woke up, he found Simba, and Nala awake along with a depressed Raffiki.
"So Raffiki what happened?" Mufasa asked.
"I was being an idiot. I was spying on them, and they must have noticed me because next thing I knew Dotty hit me from behind and I was taken hostage. They forced me to take them to the forbidden pool and I also created several clones for them."
Raffiki stood up, limping.
"I must send you to one of your memories on the same day and create clones of you to match up with Zira's clones."
"Wait… hold on a second. What day? And what clones?" Nala asked Raffiki.
"Zira and Dotty went back to the same day Simba, Mufasa, and Nala took back the pridelands from Scar. With their clones they will heavily outnumber the pridelanders. Also I must make clones of all of you to be able to fight back Scar and Zira's forces."
"But Raffiki, wouldn't that create a paradox in the space time contimum?" Simba asked.
"De same version of you, yes. But a girl version of you… He he wouldn't matta. Neither would a cub version of you."
The three lions rolled their eyes to Raffiki's laughter.
"By the way… WERE WASTING TIME!" Raffiki yelled.
"Then hurry up!" Mufasa yelled back.
Raffiki put his hands upwards.
"Nguvu kutoka juu, mimi sikutakini ya kuunda mifumo tofauti ya simba haya!" Raffiki yelled as a giant whirlwind appeared.
Then the clones were created. Two female lions, a male lion, two male cubs, and a female cub.
"As of right now they are completely clueless and only follow orders," Raffiki spoke.
"But later on… you can…"
"Enough!" The three lions said at once.
"Okay. Also I'm sending you to your own personal memories of that battle and bodies. So Simba, you should be ready to go and not have to worry about your leg," Raffiki said as Nala's clones entered the wormhole.
Next it was Simba's turn.
"See you on the other side dad," Simba waved to his dad.
"I'll be right there son," Mufasa smiled.
Mufasa was about to enter the wormhole with his clones, but Raffiki stopped him.
"Why aren't you letting me through?" Mufasa asked.
"Mufasa, I want you to go somewhere else," Raffiki whispered into his ear.
"Where?" Mufasa asked.
Raffiki whispered something into Mufasa's ear.
"I don't know about this Raffiki. You sure I can do this?" Mufasa asked for reassurance.
"You are very capable of doing so,"Raffiki assured him.
"I hope your right," Mufasa said as him and his two clones jumped into the wormhole to a different place.
