A/N: Well Regis Rogers, I don't know where I'm really going. But Kopa will look like a crazy person. Even though, this is the last chapter we see cubs. At lease the Pride Lands cubs. So this is actually going to be a very long chapter. For me anyway and I don't know when I'll be able to write another one. But next chapter will be teenagers! Yay!

Kopa had changed and not for the better. The young prince goes around talking to himself. Mumbling about a voice. Simba dosen't know what to do and he won't go to his father for any advice. Sarabi tries to respond with her son and help her grandson, but things have turned for the worst and Nala isn't even ashamed.

"Tsk. Tsk."

Nala was lounging around when Nessa appeared.

"Well...look who returned"

Nessa smirked, "You're so pathetic! You kill your own son's friend and send him crazy"

"Well he has to take after somebody"

Nessa laughed, "Yes. The cub killer"

"The cub what?"

Nessa circled her sister. "News have it...you attacked the king's oldest"

Nala's eyes widen, "You wouldn't dare?"

"Try me" Nessa stopped in front of the ex queen, "We're calling for war and your...step son is bait!"

Nala was struck. She didn't know what to do. Nessa laughed as she headed back to the Outalnds. Not long after Malka and Simba came running over.

"Where is he!?"

Nala already knew who they were talking about and lowered her head. "Nessa has him"

-X-

"Let me go"

Roscoe dropped the brown cub who fell on his stomach.

"So you're the king's son?"

"Yeah! So if I was you, I would put me back!"

Roscoe chuckled, "Feisty thing, for dead meat" the large black lion looked up and smiled at the sight of vultures. "Seems the birds already smell death"

"Must be you"

Roscoe whirled around and struck young Kovu across the face. Sending the brown prince a few feet away.

"Watch your tounge boy"

Kovu laid knocked out for awhile. Even when Roscoe left. Kenzie ran over and nuzzled him. Kovu opened his eyes, to winch.

"You got to get that checked"

Kovu had a deep bloody scar across his left eye.

"Kukuza"

The six month gray cub came running over.

"We're leaving"

"But mom..."

Kenzie grabbed Kovu and placed him on her back before picking up Kukuza and ran out of the barren territory.

-X-

Roscoe roared, shaking trees and scaring birds. A young, lanky gray-brown lion with a sickly black mane and red eyes shrunk back.

"It wasn't our fault, Roscoe! You should of papered!" Khan growled

"You talk back to me"

"Yes! You trusted an outsider and she betrayed you"

Roscoe snarled, "We just have to get rid of the females"

Khan's green eyes widen but he had no auhorty. A little slip up, could past but a question of his leaderness is fatal.

"Yes sire" the dark pale tan lion turned to the lanky gray-brown lion. "Come on Nuka"

Once out of hearing the two brothers stop.

"We're not going to...are we?"

Khan sighed, "I'm afraid so...if we don't they will and they know no mercy. So we should just get it over with"

"But Khan...Amelia...we can't kill her or Spotty"

"I'm sorry...Nuka...Spotty is unable to be helped. But Amelia can take her in the nearby jungle"

Nuka lowered his head, Khan walked over and his brother.

"Yes bye to mom"

"Will do"

With a deep sigh the two brothers departed. Nuka found his mother resting with her back to him.

"I'm sorry mother...Khan said bye" with tears falling, Nuka pounced

-X-

Nessa walked in the cave to see only three cubs. "Roscoe..."

But that was the last thing she said before her insides was outside. Roscoe panted, as blood dripped from his muzzled. He let his tounge flick over his teeth. A crazed smile formed as he laughed.

"The Pride Lands will be mine! All mine!"

-X-

Khan ran to the border of the jungle. He place the creamy golden cub down and took a few breathes. The sound of voices reached his brown rimmed ears. So the second in command bolted.

"Rusher...did you see that?"

"I sure did"

"I want to know what he dropped off"

"Kiara, wait!" Yelled the wolves as they chased after her

When they caught up they were surprised to see Kiara talking to a small one month old creamy gold cub. When her gray-blue eyes landed on the wolves, she gasped.

Kiara giggled, "Don't worry. They're good pals. They been raising me"

"What are they?"

"Wolves. They're pretty cool"

"What's your name?" Songblaze asked taking a step closer

"Princess Amelia"

"Well I'm Kiara and these are Rusher and Songblaze. Don't ask?"

Amelia giggled which made the other three smile.

"Come on, I'll show you around"

Amelia smiled before following her new friend.

-X-

Kenzie ran all the way to Pride Rock, she was exhausted when she got there. But she couldn't rest not yet.

"Halt!"

The peach lioness looked and seen a strong handsome golden lion with a rich red mane and reddish brown eyes. She put Kukuza down and bowed.

"Sire. I came in peace, I only want to bring your son back"

Kula's eyes widen at the scar and blood across his eye.

"What happened!?"

Kenzie lowered her head, "I'm afraid the lion who was in charge hit him"

Simba roared, outraged. "Where is here!"

"Simba!" Kula growled

Simba looked at the brown lioness, rage build up in his eyes.

"You have more things to worry about"

Simba sighed, "You're right"

Kula looked back at the peach lioness, "I'm not queen, but on the half on the king. We thank you for saving our son and would like to you join us"

Simba dipped his head, to show he agree. Kenzie bowed.

"I'm honored and is by now loyal to you"

Kula smiled lightly, "I'll show you were you can sleep." Then she looked at Zazu who was perched on a tree branch. "Zazu! Get Rafki"

The blue hornbill bowed before taking flight.

-X-

Night has approached and Kula walked out to find the king on the peak.

"How is he?"

"He's scared"

Simba sighed, "I..."

"You didn't see this coming. To be honest...I thought Nala would be the one"

Simba looked at the lioness beside him, "I'm so sorry"

Kula nuzzled him lightly. "Don't be"

Simba looked at the stars and took a deep breath. "I'm lost"

"About Kopa?"

Simba nodded, "He keeps repeating he hears voices"

"I'm sure its nothing serious. He's been through so much and all by the claws of his mother"

Simba sighed, "I guess"

Kula smiled, "Everything will be fine"

Simba watched the brown lioness get up and head in the cave. He looked back to the stars and sighed before getting up and entering the main cave himself.
