The lion king 2 Simba's man cub

Chapter 10 Brothers

Nine years had past After the attack on the fort, Xehanort and his pride were not heard from in some time. in the Pride lands Kovu who was now a teenage lion with a dark mane lays in nearby the River.

He sighed then said "Three...two...one"

The all of a sudden Kopa pounced at Kovu, but luckily Kovu ducked. Kopa was at the same age, he was of the same size and he had a reddish brown mane like his father. Kopa landed on his back and Kovu came up to him.

"How was that?" Asked Kopa as he got back up.

"I could hear you" Answered Kovu as he walked away.

"I know your only doing this to empress Hikari"

Kopa just smirked "like any different"

"What do you mean?" Asked Kovu giving him a curious look.

"I know that you like Aqua" said Kopa.

"Well you not going to impress her if you don't remember what Terra said" explained Kovu trying to change the subject "relax""feel the earth under your paws so it doesn't shift"

"I know that" said Kopa "by the way where's Sora?"

"Wasn't he with you?" Asked Kovu.

"No" said Kopa.

Kovu then sighed because he knew only place he would go "he's probably back in the western boarder" said Kovu "come on"

They were right, Sora who was now tall and older. Wonders where the human fort used to be. Over the years Kairi who was now gone was always on his mind.

He took out the good luck charm that Kairi had given him years ago.

"Kairi" he said to himself.

Sora then took out his keyblade and with a loose thread he tide it onto the bottom.

Then he heard a creaking noise behind him. Sora quickly go into his defence position.

Then a bluish grey lioness came into the clearing.

"It's okay Sora" she said "its just me".

"Oh uh, sorry Aqua" said Sora as he lowered his keyblade.

"Are you okay Sora?" Asked Aqua as she came up to him.

"What do you mean?" Asked Sora as he walked to the jungle.

"Well ever since the humans left you always look sad" explained Aqua as she followed "is everything okay?"

Sora sighed "everything is fine" he responded "I just wish things were different between me and Kairi"

"Sora!" Called Kovu as he and Kopa ran toward him "Where have you been?"

"Nowhere" answered Sora.

"Well come on" said Kopa "we need to practice for our hunt tomorrow"

"Oh right" said Sora becoming alert "lets go!"

Sora ran back to the pride lands.

"You coming?" Asked Kopa looking at Kovu.

Kovu looked over at Aqua who was heading for pride rock.

"I'll catch up with you guys...later" he answered as he went to join Aqua.

Kopa just rolled her eyes and followed Sora.

Meanwhile at Pride rock Simba stands on the edge of Pride rock filled with excitement for tomorrow was the first hunt for the three heirs.

"Simba" said Terra who was know as older as Simba, as he came up to him."your in a good mood today"

"Why wouldn't I be?" Asked Simba "The humans are gone and Xehanort hasn't been seen in some time""it's what I'd always hoped it could be"

"Yes" said Zazu who stood beside him "the with humans and Xehanort gone this will be a safe hunt for the two princes"

"Three Zazu" said Simba looking down at him.

"Oh come now Simba" he said "Kovu and Kopa will be fine kings"

"And so will Sora" said Simba "cause like it or not your going to do what he's says"

"Oh it's like a nightmare coming true" said Zazu.

"This may be what you hoped for Simba" said Terra "but Not for me" thinking of Eraqus.

Simba turn to look at him, his smile disappeared from his face."I'm sorry Terra""not everything is"

"He always wanted to see the cubs first hunt." ExplIned Terra"that was the one thing he'd look to, even when I was on my first"

"I see" said Simba "Terra he is seeing my sons first hunt""with my father"

Terra as much happy to hear that he was still sadden, death of one special is never easy to get over, like chains that could never be unlocked.

"Ya" responded Terra as he headed for the cave.

Simba looked back at him and sighed wishing that there was something he could have done for Eraqus. He turned to look at the light clear blue sky.

"Eraqus"he said.

Late that Night as the lions gathered Sora sat outside trying to heal the wounds from his childhood.

Voices of what Kairi's family said about his pained him dearly.

"Sora" said Simba as he came out of the cave and sat beside him."what's wrong?"

Sora looked at him they same way he I'd years ago.

"It's nothing dad"

"Is this still about what happened years ago" asked Simba.

Sora confirmed it by looking away from his father.

"Sora" he said "the past is The past, you need to let things go"

"I wish I could" said Sora.

"Sora come in side it's cold out tonight" said Simba as he headed into the cave.

Sora followed after all he needed rest for his hunt tomorrow.

The next day in the elephant grace yard Axel heads out for a hunt of his own.

"Hold it hot shot" said Xigbar who was laying on a rock above him."where do you think your going?"

"For a hunt" answered Axel "care to join me?"

Xigbar looked all around and then said "hm why not""beats sitting here eating scraps"

Xigbar jumped off and followed Axel to the pride lands.

Meanwhile Simba's pride gathered for the princes hunt. Nala prepared her sons for the hunt.

"Remember what Terra taught you" she explained "work together as a team"

"Don't worry mom" responded Kopa "we'll be alright"

"Ya, nothing to worry about" said Kovu.

Nala nuzzled her two sons then turn to look at Sora who practice swiping his keyblade.

"Sora" she said coming up to him.

"Ya mom" said Sora turning to look at him.

"Be strong out there" she said smiling at him.

"You can bet on it" said Sora with a proud look on his face. Nala turned to where Sora slept and pick up his knife and carried it to him.

"Your going to need this." she said as dropped it in his hands, Sora then hugged his beautiful lioness mother.

"I'll make you proud" he said.

"I bet you will" she responded as she nuzzled him.

Nala then headed out side where the others waited, Simba, Terra, Timon and Pumbaa waited at the tope of pride Rock while the others waited on each of the sides.

"This is their first hunt" said Aqua looking to Namine and Hikari.

"I hope they do okay" said Hikari.

"Don't worry like us" said Namine as she turned to look at Riku who sat beside her "they'll do fine"

Nala walked toward Her mate and Terra.

"You must be proud" said Terra.

"I am" she answered.

"Time passes so fast" said Sarabi who stood beside Simba "I remember when they were just small cubs".

"I love moments like this" said Timon starting to tear up

"Me too" said Pumbaa who did the same.

"Here they come" said Ven

Sora came out first with Kovu and Kopa by his side. The three brothers then walked up to Simba and Nala.

"My how they've grown" complemented Sarafina.

Sora and his brothers reached Simba and bowed down to their father.

"Sora,Kovu,Kopa" he said "good luck on your hunt my sons, I hope your ready for this test of will"

"We won't let you down dad" said Sora.

Simba smiled "you may start your hunt"

The three brothers nuzzled their father and headed down Pride rock.

Not to far Axel and Xigbar entered the pride land boarder.

"Finally a real hunt" said Axel "I can't wait for real food"

"For once I agree with you" said Xigbar "wildebeest herds no too far from here""it's the best place to start"

"Whatever you say" said Xigbar sarcastically as he followed.

Meanwhile Kovu,Kopa and Sora were already hunting the

Wildebeest herd, putting a strategy they learn by Terra into action.

Kopa and Kovu were on two sides of a large male wildebeest, they planned to dive it far from the herd and in the right moment Sora would wound the animal with is Knife and take it down from there.

Kovu and Kopa stayed in the cover of the tall brown grass as the creeped Quietly toward their target. Sora hid in a tree not too far from them. Sora glare he held his Keyblade in one hand and with his Knife in the other.

Kovu stopped as he was close to the kill, and with one last quiet breath he pounced and gave out a load Roar. The herd then headed to south, Kovu drove the kill in the direction, Kopa ran after.

The Wildebeest headed to where Sora was hiding. Sora prepared to attack. As the Wildabeest got closer Sora jumped off and throw his keyblade at the Wildebeest.

But it mist and accidentally hit Kovu and Knocked him off course.

"Kovu" he said.

Sora looked and Saw Kopa running after the Wildebeest and turned to look at Kovu who was hurt. As much as he didn't want to disappoint his father he couldn't leave Kovu behind, he jumped out of the tree and went to help Kovu

"Sora!" Called Kopa "Sora where are you?" Kopa looked at the fleeing Wildebeest as it raced out of site.

"No" he said.

Meanwhile Sora came to see if his brother was hurt.

"Kovu you alright?" Asked Sora check him for wounds.

"I'm fine Sora" said Kovu as he tried to get on his feet.

"Sora!" Said Kopa as he ran up to him and Kovu "what happened back there""we almost had it."

"Kovu was knocked off course because of me" explained Sora "I couldn't leave him"

"But you could leave our prey to get away" argued Kopa.

"Hey I was going to help you" Complained Sora.

"Well too late" said Kopa.

Kovu then stepped in. "It's not his fault""I should have been more aware"

"Look I'm not blaming anyone" said Kopa "but we just lost our chance because of you two."

"Well go!" Yelled Sora "Go hunt on you own!""we don't need you!"

Kopa was mad at what his brother said "fine!"

Kopa then left to track down the herd on his own.

"That was harsh" said Kovu.

Sora became guilty about what he said to his brother

"He'll be okay" said Sora "I hope"

Kovu just sighed "lets go, there's more game ahead"

Kovu moved ahead to the field. Sora looked at the direction Kopa went then he followed Kovu.

Meanwhile Kopa followed the tracks of the escaped wildebeest.

"Your not going to escape this time" said Kopa.

But before he could go any further he saw Zebra who were frighten by something. Kopa hid in the bushes trying to find out what's going on.

Then a Zebra was caught by Axel.

"Oh no" whispered Kopa "I have to warn Kovu and Sora"

but before he could Xigbar spotted him. Xigbar attacked Kopa and wounded him.

"Axel" he said "look it what I found"

"Great" said Axel.

"Well seeing as how this one is here" explained Xigbar "the man cub isn't far behind""I'd say our luck has changed"

Meanwhile Sora and Kovu stalked some antelope near the river.

Sora and Kovu approached the antelope stealthily,Sora pulled out his keyblade and prepared to bring down the kill.

But made a mistake by stepping on a small branch. The noise alerted the antelope and began running from the two hunters

Kovu and Sora chased after them. But it was of no use.

Sora sighed.

"Are You okay?" Asked Kovu

"I'm fine" said Sora.

"Still upset over Kopa?" Asked Kovu.

Sora turned to look at his brother. "I'm worried about him"

"You know Kopa" said Kovu "he can take Care of himself"

"No I mean" Sora just took a deep breath and then finished "what if I hurt him?"

Kovu started to think about it "maybe your right, maybe he is"

"Come on we should go find him" said Sora as ran to find his brother.

But little did they know they were being watched by Axel.

Meanwhile at Pride rock Simba waits for his sons and began to worry.

"Simba" said Terra as he came out of the cave "any sign of them?"

"No" answered Simba "I'm starting to worry about them"

Terra looked out over the land, he sensed something was wrong.

"Something's going on" said Terra.

"What do you mean"asked Simba.

"I don't know" said Terra "but something's not right"

Simba became concerned about his sons.

"I'm going to see if my sons are okay" said Simba as he headed down Pride rock.

Terra followed.

MeanWhile Kovu and Sora search for Kopa in the Pride lands.

"Kopa!" Called Sora "Kopa where are you?!"

But there was no answer.

"Kopa answer us!" Yelled Kovu.

The two brothers became scared that something had happen.

"Do you think he went back to Pride rock?" Asked Sora.

"Maybe" said Kovu "but if he did he'd fail the test""and you know Kopa, he'll do anything to make dad proud".

Suddenly their was a load roar.

"Did you hear that" asked Sora.

"Ya" said Kovu "It sounded like...Kopa, he may be in trouble lets go"

Sora and Kopa headed to the source of the the found Kopa near the river wounded.

"Kopa!" Shouted Sora as he ran up to his brother.

Kovu was but something bugged him about this, then he saw Axel and Xigbar waiting to pounce on Sora.

"Sora wait!" Warned Kovu.

But it was too late

"Kopa are you alright?" Asked Sora.

"Sora go!" Responded Kopa.

"No not without you" said Sora.

"Sora it's a trap!" Warned Kopa.

Sora then heard a noise behind him. He turn around just in time to see Axel and Xigbar attack.

"No!" Yelled Kovu

Sora used his Keyblade and swiped it at both of them.

Kovu then joined in by attacking Xigbar.

Axel lashed his claws at Sora. Sora deflected the attack and Slashed his keyblade.

"Eraqus tought you well man cub" said Axel "its Terrable when things happen to those you care bout"

Sora just glared at Axel.

"Oh don't worry man cub" said Axel "We'll be sure to make it quick and painless for you and your bothers"

Sora then took out his Knife.

"Nobody going to hurt my brothers!" Yelled Sora as he attacked the threatening lion.

With one swipe from his Knife Axel was wounded. Axel crouched down to strike back. But Kopa made a fast recovery and as Axel leaped into the air Kopa did the same and knocked Axel away from his brother. Kovu knock Xigbar to the ground in no time at all.

Axel and Xigbar got back up and prepared to attack again. But then Simba and Terra arrived to help.

"You" said Terra looking at the two scavenged lions.

"Uh oh" said Axel.

"Get out of the pride lands!" Roared Simba.

Axel and Xigbar frighten by the fierce lion king left to return to the elephant grave yard.

"Sora Kovu Kopa are you alright?" Asked Simba.

"We're fine dad" said Kopa.

"Their back" said Terra looking down the direction Axel and Xigbar went "It's not safe anymore"

Simba knew he was right "Sora" he said "you and your brothers go home ""me and Terra are going to see if they where the only ones who came"

Kopa then Spock up "But father we.." But Simba and Terra had already left.

On the way back Kopa had a question that he wanted to ask Sora.

"Hey Sora" he said.

"Ya" Sora responded.

"Why did you stay by me when they attack us?" He asked.

Sora stopped and turned to look at his brother"Because your my brother and brothers look out for each other"

Kopa felt unusual by what Sora said. "I don't know what to say"

"You don't need to" said Sora as he put his arms around his brothers "you, mom and dad are my greatest strength"

Kopa and Kovu didn't understand.

"Who told you that?" Asked Kovu.

"Mom did" answered Sora as he continued on to Pride rock.

The sun began to set over at the end of the most unusual day
