Zira and Simba circled each other; both were waiting for the other to make the first move. Both raised their claws ready to strike each other when suddenly.

Kiara and Kovu jumped in between the two.

'Kiara!' Simba shouted.

'Kovu!' Zira shouted. 'Move!'

Simba looked Kiara in the eye. 'Stand aside.'

'Daddy this has to stop.' Kiara begged. But then her mood changed. 'So me and Kovu have agreed on a suitable decision.'

Simba was confused. 'What can you possibly do?'

Just then Kovu pounced on Zira and Kiara pounced on Simba. Kiara began to cry. 'I'm sorry but this is the only way.'

Kovu looked his mother in the eyes. 'This is for the good of both prides!' he shouted.

Both prides watched in horror as Kovu and Kiara sunk their teeth into their parents throats. Zira and Simba struggled vigorously.

Suddenly both prides raced to the two in a desperate attempt to help their leaders. A bloody Kiara and a bloody Kovu were ripped from their parents but it was too late. Both Zira and Simba were dead.

A tearful Nala looked at her blood-soaked daughter. 'Kiara? Why?'

Kiara broak down in tears. 'They were both as bad as one another; they would have both destroyed their prides. It was the only way.'

The End
