Well everyone, here is chapter 10 of Life in the pride lands. This is the chapter where this story and the Lion Guard story will unite, meaning we will now enter the timeline of the show.

All I have to say is thank you guys for all these surprisingly positive reviews for this story.

This chapter, and the next, will overall be Return of the roar but of course not 100pct. Alike, as I will not keep the dialogs the same, or change a few event, as I like.

Also, I have seen that some want the story to be written in another way, so hey, here I tried to spread it out to allow you to read it continuously easier.

Let's begin with chapter 10.

Kiara and Simba was sitting on the tip of pride rock. The sun was slowly rising over the pride lands. Simba would look out over the pride lands for quite some time, before he looks down at his cub.

"One day Kiara, you will be queen over all these lan-"

A Baobab fruit flew by Simba's head and interrupted his speech and a honey badger jumps in between the king and princess of the pride lands. Both lions glare at the badger but before they can say anything a golden cub with a red turf would run through them as well, running up and makes hold of the fruit with his teeth.

"Ha you will never get it Kion!" Bunga says, taunting his friend "You are to slow!" Bunga laughs. Kion would try to pull the fruit backwards, but Bunga stops him. Both friends keeps doing pulling the fruit, not noticing the glare from the lions behind them. Both friends looks surprised when a loud voice come from behind.

"Kion! Bunga! Cut it out!"
Simba roars at them. Kion lets go of the fruit, this sends Bunga flying backwards, landing on his back with the baobab fruit on his stomach. Kion looks at his father and sister, Simba sighs and opens his mouth to speak.

"Kion I need to speak with your sister! She is going to track down gazelles today"

Kiara laughs and sits back, puffing out her chest and tries to look down at Kion, "Yeah, because I am traini-" Kion cuts her short before she is able to end her sentence "Training to be queen of the pride lands" Kion says with boredom in her voice, as if he had heard that sentence before.
Kiara looks at Kion with an irritated look.

"Ha, at least I got my life sorted out! Why will you grow up to be?" she says with some triumph in her voice, Kion is quick to answer. "Happy?" Kion says with a teasing voice.
Simba sighs and looks at Kion and Bunga
"Kion, why don't you take your friend and play somewhere else"

Kion and Bunga would immediately do what the King say. Bunga would jump out from the tip of pride rock and lands in a tree under the rock. He uses the leaves and branches to significantly reducing the speed at which he falls down. He grips the last branch, makes a front flip in the air and lands on his legs, catching the Baobab fruit as it dumps straight into his arms.

Kion stood on the top of pride rock and watched his friend jump down, following him with a very impressed look, wondering how his friend was brave enough to do such a jump. Realizing that Bunga is getting a significant lead, Kion runs to the way down the side of pride rock.

"See you dad! Good luck with tracking down those gazelles Kiara!"

Both father and son looks at each other and let out a loud sigh. Simba looks down at Kiara who is still looking in the direction Kion ran off in, "He will grow up some day… I hope" Simba would say this with some uncertainty in his voice.

Bunga and Kion would run by the waterhole. The Lion is sprinting trying to catch up to the honey badger. Bunga jumps out into the waterhole, landing on a hippo, and then jumps forward landing on a new hippo, then a crocodile until he lands on the other side of the waterhole.
Kion would try the same, landing on both hippos, recognizing one of them "Hi Beshte" the hippo greets him back "Hi Kion" Kion jumps forward and lands on the second hippo, but the crocodile would rise from the water and glares at Kion, who just looks back with an broad smile on his face, as if trying to say sorry. Kion jumps over the crocodile and lands half on the shore and half in the water, making half his body soaked up.

Bunga turns around and laughs at his friend, but starts running again as he sees the Lion running his way. Bunga runs into the tall grass, which gives Kion an advantage over his badger friend. Bunga is slower in here, and Kion is able to pounce on him, having trained himself in spotting animals within the tall grass.

"Ha, you will never catch me Kion!"

As if on que, Kion pounces and lands on the back of Bunga; Bunga would lose his grip on the fruit and is pinned down by Kion. Kion looks up and spots the Baobab fruit. He is ready to run forward and catch the fruit, but he feels a tickling sensation forcing him on the ground laughing.

Bunga had begun to tickle Kion's soft stomach, which caused the Lion to fall on his back laughing. Bunga finds the opening he need as his friend lies on the ground laughing. He runs forward and claim the fruit again.

Bunga would set into a new sprint, as he sees Kion running after him. Bunga jumps out of the tall grass and looks back laughing, but is once again pounced on by Kion. Bunga lost his grip on the fruit and it rolls forward and falls down into a chasm, leading straight into the outlands.
Kion and Bunga sits on the edge of the chasm, Kion lets out a long sigh.

"Well, that was that game of Baobab ball" Kion would say with some sadness in his voice.
Bunga laughs at Kion "Ha why don't we just go down and get it?" he says, ready to jump down the edge of the chasm. Kion looks at him with some doubt "My dad says were are prohibited from ever entering the outlands" Bunga laughs and jumps into the chasm

"Ha Simba is just a scary cat!"

Down in the chasm Bunga is quick to find the fruit. He raises it and looks up at Kion "Look I found it!"

The moment Bunga has finished yelling, three hyenas jump out from a hidden cave. All three hold him down and snarls at the badger "Ha! Looks like meat is back on the menu boys!" Janja would be the one speaking.

Kion would gasp as he looks down at the hyenas who pinned down his friend. Kion is shocked and for a moment does not know what to do. If he runs home, the hyenas would most likely eat Bunga. No, he has to stay here.

"Hyenas! Let Bunga go!"

All three hyenas look up at Kion, the leader obviously smirking the two others look confused, one a little scared "isn't that Simba's son?" Janja looks back at the hyenas "Stuff it furbrain! He is all alone!" Janja looks ready to say more but he is interrupted as Kion yells again.

"I said let Bunga go!"

Kion would yell this in a clear angry tone, angry that his friend was put into danger by the hyenas. The leader of the hyenas would laugh at Kion "Ha what will you do? Roar at us?"

Kion gets angered at the hyenas and would do just that. Kion would let out a roar with the intension for the hyenas to step back, to show that lions are not to be messed with. What would happen instead was that the cloud would form in the sky over Kion. Bunga and the hyenas looks up at Kion, confused and scared at what is going on. Kion glares down at the hyenas.

"I said let him go!"

Kion would roar again and the clouds in the sky would make the form of four lions. Kion would hear a loud roar as he roared, and feel a strong gust of wind fly by him. The wind flies down, pushes all three hyenas off Bunga, and sends them flying backwards into the cave they came from, Janja yelling, "This isn't the last you will see to us Lion!"

Kion looks down at the chasm, heavily panting, trying to figure out what just happened. He looks up to the sky and sees the clouds had disappeared. Kion looked over at his left shoulder and gasped, a picture of a lion had formed on his shoulder, something he knew he did had before. Bunga by now had climbed all the way up the slope of the chasm. He looked at his friend with a very surprised and shocked look. His expression quickly turns over to a very excited expression.

"How did you do that?"

Kion had absolutely no idea what to say to Bunga "My roar has never been like that!" he says with shock in his voice. Kion looks away from the sky and over to Bunga "I do not know what I did! We should go see my dad, or Rafiki!" Kion and Bunga would run in the direction of pride rock. As both animals run, they see that several of the nearby pride landers had at least heard the roar; all wondering what had caused such a loud and booming roar.

Back at pride rock, Simba looked into the direction of which the roar happened. He looked with a shocked expression and sighed. He felt a paw touch his left shoulder, looking over he founds Rafiki with a broad smile on his smile. Simba knew very well, what he intended to say and it was the thought of it that made Simba shiver. Rafiki opens his mouth and pointed out towards the direction of which the roar happened
"That, my friend, was the Roar of the Elders! And none other but your son, Kion, who did it!"

Simba led out a loud sigh and finally looked at the old mandrill. Rafiki smiled and patted the lion on the back "Don't worry Simba, He is ready! The Kings of the past will only roar with the wielder, when the wielder is ready!"
Rafiki pointed down the road leading up pride rock. Simba looked down the road and let out a sigh. Simba could see Kion run up the side of pride rock with Bunga right behind him. Kion reached the top of the rock, Simba and Rafiki would be waiting on top.

"Dad, I got something to tell you… it is something about my roar"

Kion says, but he is surprised to see how his father reacts to it. "We know… Kion, there is something we need to talk about" Kion raised his eyebrow "Dad, I know about the love thing, can you feel the love tonight and all that" Rafiki laughs and Simba sighs "It is not that we need to talk about, come with me"

Simba walks past Kion and Bunga, walking down the side of pride rock. At the bottom, Simba goes to the left and walks over to a cave, hidden by vines, in the side of pride rock. Kion and Bunga is surprised, clearly none of them knew that a cave existed below the main den. Both lion and badger looked around, before they both heard Simba clearing his throat. Bunga and Kion walks over to Simba who sits next a painting on the wall.

"This is your uncle Scar's old cave… the cave of the Lion Guard"

Kion and Bunga raise their eyebrows, both of them knew the story of the mad and evil lion that was Scar, but had never before heard about the lion guard "The Lion guard protects the pride lands, and the circle of life from going threats" Simba would say. Rafiki would open his mouth to speak "And the Lion guard is led by a lion who is blessed with the roar of the elders"

Kion looks over at his father with a surprised look. Simba is looking at the ground instead of his son. Simba would finally look up and look over at Simba "You have been blessed with the roar of the elders, when you roar, the kings of the old will roar with you"

Kion looked at his father with a very enthusiastic look, he looks over at Rafiki as the old mandrill opens his mouth "And that means you will be the leader of the new Lion Guard, you are to find the fiercest, quickest, strongest, bravest and the keenest of sight of the pride lands and with these reform the Lion Guard". Kion raised his eyebrow and looked at his father "What happened to the old Lion Guard"
Simba would be unable to speak as this was the reason why he didn't like that Kion joined the lion guard. Rafiki sees this and speaks up, pointing at a picture of a brown lion with a black mane.

"Your brother Scar was the leader of the last lion guard. Like you he too was blessed with the roar of the elders" Rafiki would point at a picture of scar standing on top of a rock, with four lions below him. Simba is the one continuing the story.

"The power of the roar made your uncle power hungry, he thought that he, not your grandfather Mufasa, should be king of the Pride lands. Scar attempted to use the Lion Guard to take the throne from Mufasa, but they refused. Scar used the roar on them, destroying the Lion Guard. The elders saw this and took back their gift, as it had been used for evil, instead of the good of the pride lands"

Kion would look over the picture of Scar as he destroys the lion guard and then over at the picture of Scar who has lost his power. Kion looks over at his father and then at Rafiki, still surprised by what they have told him.

"So, I am to form a new lion guard?"

Both lion and mandrill would nod at the young lion. They would smile as they saw Kion run out of the cave into the pride lands followed by the honey badger. Soon both of them reach the water hole, Bunga looks at Kion with joy and enthusiasm.
"Please, please, please Kion! Let me join the Lion Guard! I am the bravest in all the pride lands! You may have think of someone els-"

Kion would interrupt the honey badger before he could say more "Bunga, I am asking you to join the Lion Guard, you are the bravest I know in all of the pride land"

Bunga would jump on the ground out of happiness. Kion would touch Bunga left shoulder and a mark, shaped like the head of a roaring lion, would appear on Bunga shoulder. Both friends smiled at each other and started their search over the pride lands. Kion knew that he and Bunga in no time would find the pride lands, fastest, strongest and keenest of sight.

Well this was chapter 10 of Life in the pride lands. My reason to cut it here is that if I continued would this chapter alone be 2 times the usual length of the average chapter, I liked to keep them this length.

Now you guys know the drill. Tell me what you liked, disliked, should I go back to the old way of setting the story up or should I keep this new one? And also give me all your suggestions for perhaps future content in either the reviews or a PM on fanfiction. Cya until next time.
