Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Enjoy the 1260-word chapter. I don't own Lion King; Disney and a few others do.
(Outlands, Rocky regions.)
"Keep running, we have to get back to the Pride Lands!"
Taii said as she looked back at the trio of Outlander Lionesses that were chasing them, they had been helping rescue a herd of Zebras when a patrol of Lionesses had spotted them and given chase.
"Split up, we're have a better chance of getting home if we split up!"
Geslepe said as he looked behind him to see that 4 more Lionesses had joined in the chase as Geslepe saw Koning and Leier run one way as Taii looked back at Geslepe as she led the rest of the Pride Pack the other way.
Geslepe grinned before a big shape tackled him down and sent him flying off the cliff into a small quarry, the rest of the Outlanders rushed after their prey, thinking the prince had fallen to his death.
He and the other landed in a small pool of water at the bottom of the quarry.
"Nice to see you, you're not getting away, runt!"
Geslepe heard the other hiss as he turned to see Nuka as he rolled his eyes.
"Really, Nuka… You think you have a shot just because I'm a cub?"
Geslepe asked as Nuka grinned and lunged as Geslepe stepped to the side and hit Nuka in the back with a rock, sending him crashing into a rock and knocking him out.
"Nuka, Nuka, Nuka… When will you learn, buddy?"
Geslepe said as he tried to climb out before another form slammed into him, he slammed back into the quarry as he opened his eyes, already knowing who had tackled him.
"Hey, Vitani. I found your stupid brother… You just getting some exercise too?"
Geslepe asked as his 'friend' giggled and allowed Geslepe to roll over to face her.
"Something like that, mom told me to keep an eye on Nuka…. I guess I know why mom ran off… Don't worry, your friends will reach the border before she catches them… I may have lied to her about where you guys ran off too… I also saw the thing with the Crocs… It was cool."
Vitani said as Geslepe blushed, not used to the praise from someone outside of his dad, brother and teammates.
"U-Uh… Thanks? I-it was nothing…. Besides, I couldn't let them get to the Pride Lands… It would have been my fault if they got out."
Geslepe said as Vitani rolled her eyes, she knew that Geslepe thought she was cool and liked her…. But she couldn't understand the feeling she felt for the Pridelander Prince.
"No, it really wouldn't have been… Your brother and Simba should be watching out for the Pride Lands… You're really brave to come here… My mom thinks your crazy for coming here, though."
Vitani said as Geslepe blushed more as he rolled his eyes.
"I-I'm not that b-brave…. But thanks…. And Kion doesn't come here a lot…. I do, the Outlands are my responsibility… I know more about them then any Pridelander… Besides, only you guys know more this place… And me and my friends keep dangers from the Outlands here."
Geslepe said as Nuka started to stir, Vitani grunted in annoyance as Geslepe sighed, as much as he hated Vitani ambushing him, he liked meeting her, she was his friend… She understood him.
"Hey, Vitani? We're friends, right?"
Geslepe asked as Vitani turned to face him as he rolled to the side out of her grasp.
"Yeah, I guess… Why?"
Vitani asked as Nuka groaned, he was going to wake up very soon.
"Maybe you could come to the Pride Lands to talk with my brother and sister, they would love to meet you…. U-uh…. If you want I mean."
Geslepe said as Vitani blushed now, she didn't have many friends, her mother didn't allow her any, she tried to play it off as nothing but she couldn't shake the feeling in her gut.
"Uh, sure, whatever I guess…. You should go now; my stupid brother is going to wake up soon… I'll tell my mom you got away or something."
Vitani said, a bit awkwardly as Geslepe nodded and climbed up the quarry wall, he reached the top and waved at Vitani before running away as Vitani looked back at her older brother.
"Get up, blockhead, he got away… You got beaten by a cub, what is mom going to say?"
Vitani asked as she heard a sigh behind her as she turned to see her mother slide down the slope.
"I'm going to say that Nuka isn't doing his job! The brats got away, Vitani… That Royal brat is angering me…"
Zira said as Vitani nodded as Vitani spoke up.
"Yeah, he got away from me as well, mom… But he invited me to the Pridelands… I think it's a trap, do you still want me to go?"
Vitani asked as Zira's expression changed from exhaustion and anger to a smile that looked like it could cut steel in half, she noted Vitani's behavior and knew she could spin the situation to her advantage.
'Hmm, seems Simba's son has feelings for my dear daughter just like his blasted daughter has feelings for my dear Kovu… Another opportunity has presented itself to get close to taking down Simba…. Maybe today is a good day after all…'
Zira thought as she turned to Vitani and smiled as sweetly as she could.
"Of course, you may, Vitani… He is your friend after all... Even if he is the son of our enemy, that doesn't mean our dear prince is our enemy… But take your brother Kovu with you… I'm sure Simba's daughter will be happy to see him… and Remember to have fun."
Zira said as Vitani nodded and left as Nuka growled in anger.
"Why are you letting Vitani go visit them? You said all of Simba's blasted little ter-…"
Nuka started to say as Zira growled and grabbed her son by the arm and lifted him up.
"And you let him get away! Your sister and Simba's blasted son care for each other just like Kovu has for his daughter! You remember the plan, don't you!?"
Zira snarled as Nuka shook his head, managing a few words as he did so.
"You… Want Vitani…"
Nuka said as Zira nodded and responded.
"Yes, to get close to Geslepe so we have two ways to Simba… She cares for Geslepe, she just doesn't know it… And he cares for her… It's the perfect way to get to Simba… Now go home… Let that brat have his victory… It will not last…"
Zira said with an evil smile as she laughed at her plan as she did so, she started to walk away as she watched Nuka follow Vitani home as she followed them, she allowed her smile to continue to last as they returned to the termite mounds, she left Vitani and Nuka outside and walked inside where a sleeping Kovu waited.
"Soon, Kovu… We will have our vengeance for what Simba did to Scar."
