Kali cleared his throat getting everyone's attention. "Now that we are all here. It's time to re discuss the Cubs punishments." These words caused all the Cubs to grumble.

"Really daddy? Like we need another reminder?" Hafsa groaned. Nurisha nodded in agreement as she licked off a little bit of dust that got on her fur.

"Actually you obviously do need a reminder Cubs. Maji. I see you sneaking off." Simba glared and the cub whimpered at his uncle.

"Simba." Sarabi warned as she went to comfort her grandson.

"As I was saying," Kali continued. "I think since you Cubs have been pretty well behaved you can be allowed back into the pride Lands."

The Cubs cheered. "Thank you daddy." Nurisha purred running with her sister and Cire before yelping at their tails being stepped on. Looking they saw her grandma Fina there..

Hafsa pouted. "Knew it was a trick."

The boys snickered. "Dumb girls." Kopa and Maji said in unison.

Hafsa and Cire glared at them making them shut up. "Don't forget boys..." Cire started.

"We know where you sleep." Hafsa smirked finishing.

Usafi flicked their ears getting them to grumble and rub them. "Behave or you won't get even this privilege." Cut out from your father, and replace it with mother since she has control over her, or better yet cut it out completely and give her some authority.

Hafsa wanted to give her the cute look but didn't dare knowing she would see through and sighed. " yes mama."

"Anyway, you can go back into the pride Lands as long as the boys learn how to hunt."

That got the Cubs riled up, but not in a good way as they all started stomping their paws.

"But dad!" Maji pouted. "Hunting is for girls."

Kopa nodded in agreement. "Yeah and it's too easy for lions with our natural born talent." He smirked puffing his chest up making the girls roll their eyes.

"I'm all for it." Babu said excitedly thinking with breakfast in his head only to go quiet when the other boys shot him glares.

Cire snickered. "Oh this'll be fun to watch."

"Yep!" Uhuru smirked while she sat up straight on her haunches mischievously eyeing her brother who groaned at the thought.

"Well you'll have to ask your mothers how it goes girls." Simba smirked at them. "Cause you're coming patrolling with us,"

"But Uncle Simba, why do we have to suffer for what the boys did?" Nurisha whined giving her uncle the angel face her white eyes and white fur adding to the cuteness factor.

"No can do sweetie. You girls went in the Outlands with them. I saw it all." A familiar snarky voice answered her and she saw Nuru, the serval from the other day looking at her smirking.

Nuri hissed at Nuru. "Stay out of this you cub."

Nuru though simply smirked not taking offense like last time and jumped off Kali and walked up to Nuri. "Oh but why do that Princess? As your father's advisor you and your siblings need someone to whip your tails." She poked her chest none too gently.

Nuri sniffed rubbing her chest. "Daddy." She pleaded.

Kali looked at his fellow lions. "Ready?" He asked as he took a deep breath.

"It's been a pleasure knowing each and every one of you." Malka said in a deep dramatic tone only for Tojo to smack his head and have Malka narrow his eyes in a dirty look. "Hey!"

"Yeah, that's what you'll eat if you don't can it with the jokes." Tojo laughed

"Let's just get this over with." Chumvi grumbled.

I think you skipped a line "Oh nothing nothing honey." He chuckled nervously before grumbling at Kopa's giggling from behind his mother.

"Hello Kopa." Kali grinned. "Have a nice bath my little nephew?" He smirked at Kopa's dirty look.

"You tricked me." He glared at his uncle's laugh along with Malka and Tojo's. He growled and decided to tackle his Uncle Kali only for him to catch him with his quick jaws by the scruff and laid him in his silver paws and smothered Kopa with his bushy white mane.

"Agh Uncle Kali. Get off me!" He whined trying to push him off with his scrawny paws.

"Well maybe if you didn't sleep so much you'd be strong enough to get out." Kali chuckled and gave Nala a wink which made his white eyes look shinier almost. She reciprocated the gesture

"I am strong!" He huffed. "I am the toughest cub around." He grumbled as he kept struggling and then glaring at his uncle Malka and Tojo's louder laughs. "It's not funny!"

"Oh but it is kid." Malka said ruffling the Cubs head. "The fact you honestly think you're the toughest is so memorable don't you think Nala?" He snickered at Nala's memorable chuckle as she closed her eyes.

"Ah yes. He's so much like his father." She smirked at her grumbling mate as he knew what was coming. "Oh just picturing him doing that regal walk as he called it and saying no one could beat him. And then along comes little old me and I just made him melt with one look."

Kali laughed even louder at that joke as his mate came up to join him and nuzzled her and his Cubs. "The look on his face. Perfectly love struck." He chuckled whimsically as it brought up memories of his own crush before looking at his brother's attempt at denial.

"I was not." Simba sighed happily trying to preserve his tough guy image.

"You were so." Usafi countered. "On more than 1 occasion in fact if I've heard right." She smirked her violet eyes filled mischief that rivaled

her sister.

Tojo chuckled. "At least me and Malka weren't that way with our mates."

"Liar." Two sassy little female voices said behind the two males. They looked behind them to see the tan cub Cire, and Uhuru looking at their fathers with knowing eyes.

"Well there is my beloved little demon." Malka chuckled as he tried to nuzzle his daughter cutely only to have her hiss and try to claw at him. "Now Cire.."

"I told you no mushiness and I meant it." She said unsheathing one claw and running it through her fur before inspecting. Such a Tama move. Kali thought grimacing at how many times he and the boys had run from said pose.

Malka smiled. "But of course my beloved girl." To like here can be saved for later

Kali cleared his throat silver paw against his muzzle to get there attention before using it to smooth his loose mane out of his eyes. "Now that we've established what's to be done, let's move out" In a sarcastic but agitated tone, the silver starry eyed King started heading down Pride Rock. He looked to his friends who nodded and started to follow his lead.

Malka though was the one who took the shortest despite the fact Cire was the one squirming the most.

Cire whined. "No fair. Why do we have to be punished cause of the stupid boys screwup?" she said as desperately kicked her hind legs trying to kick her father's chin but was unable to since he had a tight grip on her scruff. It was an act of utter betrayal. Malka thanked the kings he could not see her face or he'd definitely crumbled inside.

"Cire." A cold yet pleasant voice spoke warningly to the medium sized tan cub. Her green eyes turned and widened at the sight of those slightly narrowed yet somehow still warm and loving red eyes of her mother, Tama. "Behave yourself young lady."

"But mama…" She whined with her pleading grassy eyes watering up like the plains during the rainy season. "Patrolling is going to suck."

Tamaa chuckled and gave her cub a nuzzle. "Maybe darling but you might find you'll enjoy it. And…" She whispered in her ear. "If your father annoys you about it, just do that special claw trick I showed you." She smiled as her daughter gained an evil grin identical to her own at that age.

"I can hear you" said Malka in a muffled voice, which in Malka's case sounded normal to Tama from the many times he made his silly faces to the cubs.

Uhuru, the greyish brown cub, or the runt, as she sometimes teased, of the older cubs walked past the small family towards her mother and nuzzled Fuwele's grey furry legs. "Bye mama, I'm going to miss you." She looked up with her golden eyes into her mother's shining emerald ones with a look of sadness.

"Oh my little one." She cooed and held her close. " You won't be far. Me and your brother will be in the plains near where you might be patrolling with your Dad." She licked her head soothingly.

Uhuru rolled her eyes. "This is so against our pride's tradition. Boys can't hunt. I mean Kimba's birds might mess up your hunt." she pointed out.

While the girls were being sort of understanding with going on the patrol with their father's aside from Kali's little girls who were now pouting at the thought of having their hunting lessons pushed back for this, much to the King's chagrin. The boys were sitting beside their mother's, looking completely bored as they scratched their paws on a rock or some other activity.

"I feel really sorry for those girls." the golden furred Prince Kopa said as he watched said cubs sulk or pout. " They're going to do a real lion's job while we get stuck with their easy food gathering." Kopa said as his friends chuckled.

"Yeah I mean we males are built for stamina while all the hunters do is sit around and wait. We are actually doing hard work." Maji said smirking as he admired the claws he had sharpened on the rocks.

"Let's just see how you feel when the day is completed." said Sarabi with a devious grin.

Kopa snorted. "Please Grandma. All I ever see you do is laying around on the rocks. I doubt that's hard for us young cubs. But then again I guess you lose strength when you get old"

Simba then flicked his son's ears. "Kopa, show your grandmother respect. Age doesn't mean she's weak. Actually has the opposite effect. Clearly you all still have much to learn. "

Kopa grumbled. "Yes Dad."

Kali once he gathered his daughters onto his back and made sure they were comfortable started heading out into his Pride Lands. He only wished his normal route was this exciting. He also prayed that when the day was done, that he would finally begin to understand even a fraction of what his true role, the one that the spirits of his ancestors said he was destined to have, was. Although he was still trying to find that himself.

My apologies to my loving fans. I've been going through many family problems since my last posting as well as college bullshit but now to make up for it I hope you enjoy an impressive outtake that shows what I think of the new show Lion Guard.

"Hyenas! Put Usafi down! Pick on somebody your own size!" A small silver cub with a tuft of white fur and white eyes like stars narrowed said from atop the border as he saw the flea-bitten mutts holding down a red cub.

"Ka-li! You want your girlfriend? Come and get 'er." A fat looking hyena laughed as he looked up at the small cub.

Kali looked like he was blushing when they said girlfriend before remembering they had her. "Let her go! You hyenas don't want any trouble with my dad!" He said in a threatening tone

"Oh, like how you'd get in trouble if he finds out you came into the Outlands." The other hyena chided at him making his eyes widen and look at his paws for a good comeback.

The Hyenas laughed and turned their attention back to the helpless cub. "Uh, Kali?" Usafi whimpered.

"He's too afraid to come down here." the fat hyena sneered.

"Yeah! Fraidy cat!" the other hyena jeered alongside his friend.

"Fraidy cat! Fraidy cat!" They chanted in a teasing and laughing manner

"Alright, yeah, fun's over! Jon-Jon needs his lunch!" The fat hyena said, holding Usafi up in his jaws while Jon-Jon licked his chops.

"Lunch?" Usafi shook with fear in the hyena's grip.

"No! Let. Her. GO!" Kali's eyes narrowed as his anger mounted until, finally, he roared like a full grown lion and the clouds behind him took the shape of of the ancient Kings that came before him.

The hyenas dropped Usafi as they were shocked by Kali's roar. "See ya, hyenas!" Usafi said as she bit one of their legs and then bounded back up the cliff. "Wouldn't wanna be ya!"

Kali roared again, then glared at the kings as a light started to shine on his shoulder. "I warned you about giving me a cutie mark! This is not a damn Marvel movie!" He growled, then marched offset and attacked the directors.

Donatello, a tall turtle with a purple bandana and a bo staff, popped out of hiding. "The cutie mark is actually from My Little Pony, which is Hasbro, not- -"

"No one asked you!" Kali snapped, causing Donatello to shrink back with an embarrassed look. "Darn it! I knew I shouldn't have taken this job! Disney screwed me!"

Tron0602 sighed, watching everything from his VIP box. "I told them to take out the stupid mark but they wouldn't listen." He shook his head before looking at his counterpart. "Cheers WNR. Maybe Thuraya will do better as the lead for Lion Guard." He said looking at the small girl wearing a Batcub tee shirt and Disturbed necklace.

"Thanks, though I'm not completely sure if I'll have her as a Lion Guard," Watership's Nightwish Rat said a bit timidly. "Considering she'll still have the star on her forehead and the ability to speak to the Great Kings- -" She stopped, a bit embarrassed. "Oops, spoilers…"

"Thank you my devoted fans for holding on so long for me and give a big round of applause for my special guest author, Watership's Nightwish Rat or WNR for short. If you can please check out her fanfiction series, Batgirl of the Future. It's awesome. Batgirl Beyond is wicked badass!" With that, Tron handed the mike to WNR.

WNR was nervous as she accepted the mike. "Don't worry, my OC in the BotF stories isn't quite as nervous as I am right now." She swallowed, then thought of what to say. "Big thanks to Tron for allowing me to help with this!" she said sincerely. "And for allowing me to include Donny from TMNT, a fandom I just recently got into..." She stopped, feeling that she was talking too much now. WNR awkwardly bowed, her right leg making it somewhat difficult, and then gave it back to Tron.
