Nuka awaken from the horrifying betrayal of his father from yesterday. All he could see is the trees and grass in the forest of the prideland. He doesn't know what to do since he lost everything because of his cold-hearted father. He lost his home, his herd, and most importantly he lost his brother and sisters.

Suddenly, his stomach began to growl. The lonely lion cub is hungry and haven't eaten anything in a day. Since his siblings shown him how to hunt, Nuka began looking for food within the forest.

So far, he hasn't seen any animals since he had entered the prideland. Suddenly, he immediately spotted a gazelle and hidden himself inside of a brush. He watches the animal feeds on the grass as his stomach is growling. Nuka already know that he doesn't have a chance to capture his prey, but he doesn't have a choice. He needs to eat something or else he will starve to death.

Finally, he decided to try to catch his prey. Nuka slowly and quietly crawled out of the brush and headed to the gazelle without scaring it away. He stops and began doubting himself. The young cub shake his head and ready to jump on his prey.

"Come on Nuka," he whispered to himself. "You can do this."

He was about to attack the gazelle while he had the chance, until a lioness came out of nowhere and attack his prey. Nuka quickly ran back into the brush and watches the pridelander ending the life out of her prey. The young cub was catching his breath from the close call with a pridelander.

Then, two more lioness have appears out of nowhere and join their friend. When the gazelle is ended, the three of them dined on their prey. Nuka found his opportunity to escape from the pridelanders. The young cub slowly and quickly crawled away from the area without making a single noise.

Suddenly, he accidentally stepped on a branch and snap it, causing a silence in the forest. Nuka slowly turn around and immediately spotted the eyes of the pridelanders at his direction. The young cub quickly ran for his life as the three lioness chase him.

Nuka tried to lose the pridelanders in the grass, but they're right on his tale. He quickly spotted a log and hidden inside of it. The young cub tried to be quiet when he was inside of the log, until one of the lioness claws rushes inside and tried to catch him. Luckily, he escapes out of the other side of the log, but the lioness spotted him escape and chase after him.

Nuka tried to run as fast as he can, but the pridelander is starting to catch up to him. The lioness manage to knock the lion cub to the ground on his back. He was about to roll over, but the pridelander roars when she stops in front of him.

"PLEASE DON'T KILL ME," Nuka quickly beg for his life. "I DIDN'T MEAN TO TRESPASS I SWEAR!"

"Oh my goodness," the lioness shocked. "I am so sorry! Are you okay?!"

When Nuka open his eyes, he was caught by a sight of the most beautiful lion he had ever met in his life. He stares deeply into her beautiful red eyes. "Are you my guardian angel," the first question came out of his mouth.

The lioness was flattered by the young cub having a affection towards her. "Aww. How cute. Again, I am so sorry for trying to hunt you."

"Are you going to kill?"

"Of course not! I would never hurt a innocent little cub like you." The lioness notice a scar on Nuka right eye. "Oh my goodness! Did I scratch your eye?!"

"What? Oh no-"

"Kiara!" Two other lioness reappears behind their friend. "Are you alright? Did you catch that-" one of the them stops and spotted the young cub. "Aww! Where did you find this adorable little guy?!"

"That's weird," the other lioness confused. "I don't remember there's a male lion cub in the prideland? Where did he came from?"

"Who cares Tiifu," the other one says as she crawls to Nuka. "All we know is that there's a adorable little cub!" She began nuzzling the young cub cheek.

"Well, I guess you're right. He's so cute!" She sat beside Nuka and patted him on the head. Until, she gasps from the sight of a scar on the lion cub. "What happened to you?! Kiara, did you do this?!"

"I think I did-"

"No," Nuka stop them. "She didn't done this to me."

"Then," Kiara asks, "who did this to you? And most importantly, where is your herd?"

Nuka shakes in fear of telling them that he's from the outland. "You all promised not to be mad at me?" The three lioness look at each other and all nodded. "I'm from… the outland."

They all gasps from the truth. "You're from the outland," Tiifu shocked. "But the outlanders aren't allowed to be in the prideland!"

"Why are you in the prideland," Kiara concerned.

Then, Nuka took a deep breath and explains how he ended up to the prideland. "It was my dad… I tried to make him love me by doing what he wanted me to do… but no matter what I do he will always hate me. He's the one who gave me this scar." The three lioness gasps. "Yesterday, I thought my dad wanted to redeem himself by teaching me how to hunt… but he lied to me and tried to kill me."

They were all shocked by what happened to the poor cub. "How did you escape," the other lioness asked.

"I was very lucky. There was a lioness, who came out of nowhere, attack my father. Thanks to her, I managed to escape. I can't go back to my home because if I do, then my dad will kill me. That's why I fled to the prideland."

"Oh, you poor sweet little cub," Kiara said.

"I just don't know why my dad hates me," Nuka cries as tears dripping from his eyes. "Maybe he was right about me! I am nothing but a pathetic, worthless, disgusting lion that ever lived! Maybe I am better off dead! I should've waited for my dad to-"

Suddenly, Kiara pulls him towards her chest and wraps him under her paws. She began to hush the poor cub as she's nuzzling his cheek. "Please," she comforted him, "don't say that about yourself. You're still a young and adorable little cub. Your father isn't here to torture you anymore. You're free to do whatever you want. Everything is gonna be okay. You're safe."

Nuka wipe away the tears and began nuzzling the lioness warmth fur. "Thank you… umm…"

"Kiara. My name is Kiara. These two are my friends: Zuri and Tiifu. Do you want to live with us?"

"Are every lions are nice just like you?"

"Yes."

"Kiara," Tiifu interrupted her friend," are you sure that's a good idea? What if your father-"

"I can handle my dad. I don't want to leave this adorable little guy all by himself. Are you two with me?"

"Of course," Zuri said.

"Well…" Tiifu concerned. "If you two want to do it, then I guess I'm in too."

"Great," Kiara appreciate her friends loyalty. She turned to the young cub, "Alright, Nuka. You're coming with us and introduce you to my family."

"Really?" The lioness nodded. Nuka rushes to Kiara and began nuzzling her paw. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"No problem. Come on! Let's go!" Finally, the pridelanders began bringing the young lion cub to his, could be, new home.

The sun began to go down as Nuka follow the three lioness to the pride rock, the home for the pridelanders. The young cub recognized the structure similar to the outland spot, where he and his brother used to hangout. He climbed up the mountain with the lioness to the top.

When they've reached the top, Nuka sees a bunch of lioness gathered by a cave. The outlander is very nervous about the herd of pridelanders and hidden himself behind Kiara. "It's alright," she calmed the young cub. "Everything is going to be fine. Come on."

The four of them began heading to the herd of lions. "Ha sis!" Nuka is alerted by a familiar voice he heard when he first visited the prideland. He spotted an young adult male lion, with a lion mark on his right shoulder, approached to them. "How was your hunting?"

"Hey Kion," she responded to her brother. "Have you seen father anywhere?"

"Oh yeah! He's-"

"Kiara! There you are!"

Then, Nuka shook in fear when he heard that voice. That's the same voice that he had heard from the close call in the prideland: They're nothing but disgusting and disgraceful vermin! They don't deserve any mercy from anyone! They deserve to die in that forsaken land! The poor cub whimper in fear when he spotted the harsh pridelander leader. He quickly hidden himself behind Tiifu, to avoid being spotted by the lion.

"Where have you been," the leader demanded. "We have been worried sick!"

"I was just hunting with my friends," Kiara responded. "You really need to stop treating me like a cub, Dad."

"I'm just worry that something might gonna happen to you while you're-"

"Simba," an adult lioness stopped her husband. "You already know that she isn't a cub anymore. She and Kion are young adults now. They're free to do whatever they want."

"I know Nala, but I want Kiara to be safe-"

"Father," their daughter ended their conversation and get to the point, "I need to tell you something really important." She finally got her parents attention. "I've found someone in the forest-"

"Who," her father demand."

"He's just a lion cub. He was all alone when we found him. I was hoping if he could stay with us?"

"Of course," her mother allowed.

"Where's he anyway," her father asked.

"He's right here," Kiara pointed at the young cub behind her friends.

Tiifu place the Nuka in front of the royal family as the young shiver in fear of the lion king. "Umm," the outlander said nervously. "Hello."

"Wait a minute," the king said as he examined the appearance of the lion cub. He began to develop anger and said, "You're from the outland!"

"Ye...Yes sir."

Simba finally noticed a scar on his face and he was shocked. "How did you get that scar?"

"From… From my father."

"Do your father has a scar as well?"

"Ye-Yes sir."

"WHAT?!"

Then, he formed a attack position at the little cub, ready to attack. Before he could attack the young cub, his children stop him by blocking his way. "Father," Kiara cries, "what are you doing?!"

"Dad," Kion pleaded, "what's wrong with you?! He's just a little cub! Who's gonna care if he's a outlander?!"

"Do any of you realize who's this cub?!" Every lion remain quiet from his question. "He is the son of Scar!"

Everyone are shocked by the unexpected truth. "What," Nala confused.

"He is," Kion shocked.

"You're…" Kiara couldn't believe what she just heard. "You're the son of… Scar?!"

"He is," Simba roars as he marches towards the young cub. "And he will bring disaster upon the prideland if we let stay… just like Scar!"

"What," Nuka both confused and scared as he back away from the rageful king. "I don't know what you're talking about?"

"LIAR! You know darn well what your father did-"

"SIMBA!"

They all turned and spotted the former lion king, Mufasa. "What's the meaning of this," he demanded.

"Father," Simba alerted his father, "this is the son of Scar! He must be dealt with!"

"Simba. He's just a cub. We don't know why he's here or what driven him here." The old lion stood before the little cub and lay in front of him. "Hello, little one. My name is Mufasa. What's your name?"

"My…" Nuka said nervously to the elder. "My name is… Nuka… sir."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Nuka. Now tell me, what are you doing in the prideland?"

"W-Well…" The young cub stops and shed a single tear before he resume. "It's because of my dad."

"What did he do to you?"

"H-He tried to kill me… because he sees me as a disgrace to my family… and I believe him. Every time I tried to impress my father so much… but he had never shown me any love ever since I was born. No one has ever given me any love in the outland… except for my brother and sisters. They were the only ones who actually loved me for who I am.

"Until… everything has changed when my dad banished me. He lure me away from the outland so my brother and sisters won't stop him. I'd manage to escape from him before he could finish me. So… that's why I'm here all alone… because I got nowhere else to go."

Every lions are shocked by the horrible abuse that the poor lion cub been through. Even Simba is speechless when he heard what Scar did to his own son. "And I assume that your father has given you that scar," Mufasa asks Nuka

"Y-Yes."

"I am so sorry, little one. No innocent little cub should go through the hardship torture."

"Did your father told you anything about the prideland," Simba asked.

"H-He said that the pridelanders are the most dangerous lions that ever lived," Nuka replied. "That they've done horrible things and murder each other for sport. I-Is that true?!"

"No, little one. I believe that your had lied to you about us. We will never harm each other nor hunt each other for sport. For we are very peaceful lions in the prideland and allow anyone into the herd."

"What does that mean?"

"It means that as king of the prideland, I welcome you to our home and you're now one with the herd."

"R-Really," Nuka cries for joy.

"Indeed. For now on, you shall live with me and my family. We will all treat you as you are one of us."

Without fear nor hesitation, Nuka rushes to the king leg and hugs it as he cries, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

Simba gently place his paw on the lion cub back and comfort him. "You are very welcome."

"Now," Mufasa interrupted the two, "I believe the night is about to begin. I advise that we all should get some rest."

Then, all of the lions prepare themselves for the night rest. Simba look down on the young cub and tells him, "Come now, Nuka. It's time to get some rest. We will give you a tour of the prideland in the morning."

Nuka follow the king into the cave and join his family for a good night sleep. He lay right beside Kiara and tried to get some rest. Until, the lioness picked up the young cub and placed him under her paws. He felt a gentle kiss on his head before she nuzzles him.

"Goodnight Nuka," Kiara whispers to him.

"Goodnight Kiara," he responded.

Nuka has found the perfect place that he can call his new home. Not only he found those who will take care of him, but those he could call his new family. Finally, Nuka went to sleep.
