Badru and the party searched high and low for Simba. They were growing very concerned; Simba is never gone for more than an hour. Kiara turns to Badru and asked "Didn't Kovu go on patrol with Simba?"
"Yes, ye she did…oh my god" Badru screamed.
Badru ran down pride rock then his leg crippled him again. Kiara ran ahead with out even noticing. She stood on a ledge looking for any sign of her father. She saw nothing. She scanned the savanna and she caught a look of smoke, "Oh no!"
Kiara ran to the smoke in the outlands and saw that the fire causing it was massive. Animals of all size and weight ran for their lives and Kiara was almost trampled. She ran closer and closer and she saw her father, unconscious. She tried her best to get Simba out he was too heavy. Kiara bit his tail and pulled him with all her strength. She got out as far as she could when a dark figure helped her. Kiara was too weak, from pulling Simba and the rising smoke, that she barley got out. The two lions pulled Simba out and away from the smoke. Kiara collapsed soon after that she never got a good loom at the lion.
Badru arrived after resting and pulled Simba further away and close to pride rock; other lionesses helped Kiara. Badru preformed CPR on Simba and Kiara; he pushed air into their lungs and pressed on there chests. Kiara awoke, but Simba did not. Badru continued the CPR treatment, but he couldn't save him. Kiara and all the other lionesses started to tear up; Badru was sad but he held it back.
The entire pride including Hasana carried Simba out to a grassy field, the same place where Kanu was buried. The sky went from bright blue to a very dark grey and the rain came down. After a ceremony, they walked back. Badru heard nothing chit-chat among the lionesses. "I heard he started the fire…broken leg my foot…murderer."
Badru shook it off and continued walking. Later that night, Badru sat under the stars in silence and solitude. "Mufasa, Simba, please tell the others I didn't slay Simba"
Nala came up behind him and nuzzled him. "Badru, I know you didn't kill Simba, the other lionesses always assume it's the new lion that is the bad apple."
Badru stared at the ground and thought, but interrupted by Nala's loud voice, "You are now the new king!"
