Trouble in the Outlands
Simba and Alora were still chasing the same butterfly from earlier, trying their best to catch it. Before it landed on a rock. Simba smiled and knelt close to the ground, Alora following close behind.
"The mighty hunter and huntress have cornered their prey." Simba whispered excitedly as Alora smiled with her friend, both growling playfully before pouncing, but only succeeded in hitting their heads together. They rubbed their heads with their paws, before Simba nudged Alora to look at what he was seeing.
Just beyond the ridge, was a barren sandy wasteland.
Alora looked cautious, but Simba just smiled in awe.
"Cool! The Outlands."
"This is bad." Alora looked back at where they came from, only to see the speck of their home, "We've gone too far! We should probably head back!" the creamy gold princess stepped away from the rock and back on the path, but then noticed that the golden prince wasn't following. "Simba! Come on!" she called to Simba, but he didn't see or hear her.
"I wonder what's out there?"
Alora groaned, mumbling something about boys and questioning if she really was the youngest. "Simba, come on. Our parents said..."
Simba rolled his orange eyes and looked at one of his closet friends. "They said to stay away but didn't say why." the prince noticed that Alora was still hesitant. "Just this once?"
Alora frowned. "Fine, then we go straight home."
Simba smiled before the two ran off and made way for the Outlands.
...
Alora followed Simba through the bit of the Pridelands until the grass disappeared. The creamy gold cub looked unsure before moving her purplish eyes towards the prince. "Isn't this close enough?"
Simba rolled his eyes before leaping on a log. "You worry too much,"
Alora frowned and shook her head before focusing on her friend to see Simba trip over a lifted peice of wood before tumbling down and rolled into a cub that was sitting, looking around. Alora joined Simba's side just as the peachy cream cub got up and glared at them with a small growl.
"Who are you Pridelanders?"
The more the cub apporched the more the prince and princess jumped away, keeping their backs away from the other cub. The more they moved side to side to more the peachy cream cub got curious until her curiosity got the better of her.
"What are you two doing?"
Simba glared as he stood in front of Alora. "My mother said to never turn our backs on a Outsider!"
The Outsider cub smirked as she looked the two Pridelanders. "And you always do what your mommy says?"
Alora was going to answer but Simba beat her to it. He frowned as he growled. "No!"
Alora just frowned as the peachy cream cub laughed before she turned away and started hopping on rocks across the river.
"An Outsider doesn't need anybody. I take care of myself."
Alora and Simba's ears perked up then as their eyes shinned with curiosity. "Really? Cool!" as they followed the pale cub across.
The peachy cream cub looks back at the prince and princess and notices a huge crocodile rising up behind them with its mouth gaping.
"Wuhh... Waaaahh!"
Simba and Alora turns and their smile drops as they saw the crocodile.
"Aaaaahhh! Run!" shouted the prince as he and Alora ran off before the reptile's teeth came crashing down. "This way!"
The friends and the peachy cream cub narrowly escape, leaping from rock to rock across the river and out of reach of the crocodile's jaws as more rise up out of the water. The three cubs rest on two unmoving "stones" further down, and begin to pant and giggle.
"That was a close one." laughed the peachy cream cub.
Simba and Alora laughed in agreement. "Yeah, real close."
The "stones" they were sitting on started to rise up and reveal themselves as more crocodile heads.
"Whooaaahhh..." screamed Simba, Alora and the peachy cream cub.
Simba runs up a tree out of reach, however, Alora and the peachy cream cub ran past the prince leaping from crocodile to crocodile down the river.
"Hey! What about me?" yelled Simba yelled his eyes wide with fear.
"You gotta take care of yourself! But I will distract them! Then you run!" shouted the peachy cream cub as she raced across the crocodiles' heads.
The Outsider cub slips off the last crocodile into the water along with Alora. As they come up gasping for air, the crocodiles loom over them. Simba was swiping at the reptiles from his branch with a small growl, when he saw his friend and the Outlander in trouble.
"Look out!" yelled Simba with his ears against his head.
The peachy cream cub was paralyzed by fright, the gaping mouth in front of her was suddenly clamped shut by Simba leaping on top of it.
"Move it!" Simba and Alora growled lowly, they wanted to get out of the river and the quicker, the better.
The three cubs scramble up a branch and up onto the bank, out of danger. On top they pant and rest for a few. Then move back to look over the edge . The crocodiles are massing below, furious at being cheated out of their meal.
"We did it!" yelled Simba excitedly.
Then he and Alora raspberried the angry reptiles below.
"Ha!" laughed the Outsider cub as she turned along with Simba and Alora.
The cubs move back from the edge and recount their adventure. Simba stopped walking and turned to face the peachy cream cub cub as Alora sat by her.
"Whoah, man- did you see those teeth! They were going eat you, but I jumped on her head - and I bumped her so good..." laughed Simba as he was on his back.
As the future king of the Pridelands was retelling the female cubs about the adventure they didn't notice a creamy lioness with a hint of peach and emarald green eyes, watching with a snarl.
Alora was quiet as she watched the other cub before she turned to Simba with a small smile of her own. "You were pretty brave."
"Yeah, well you both were pretty brave too. My name is Nala," smiled the peachy cream cub with proudness.
"I'm Simba." the golden prince smiled at the younger cub.
Alora rolled her purplish eyes before looking at Nala. "I am Alora."
"Well Nala, wanna play?" Simba asked as he bowed playfully. Nala tilted her head and Simba groaned. "Play? As in you run and I tag."
Nala just looked at her new friend like he had two heads before looking at Alora and back to Simba with a frown.
"Well if you don't know how to play, then let's fight." Alora said getting in the fighting stand.
"Well alright..." said Nala following suit. That she does know.
Just as Nala let out a playful growl a massive golden paw came into view and a loud roar was heard. Nala looked up to see Simba's mother, Queen Kiara. The creamy lioness jumps from her hiding spot and roars in the queen's face.
"Kiara!" growled the Outsider lioness.
"Tiifu!" Kiara growled back with bared teeth.
Just then Mufasa showed up with one lioness and two lions.
"Mufasa!" Tiifu snarled before she turned her eyes on one of the pride members, a greyish furred lioness with bluish eyes. "Rera!"
The greyish lioness and the golden king just growled.
"Alistair and Torrent! Now that we all know each other get out of our Pridelands!" yelled a roared a brownish-beige, dark brown almost black mane lion, his bright blue eyes narrowed.
"These lands belong to Scar!" roared Tiifu in Alistair and Torrent's direction.
Mufasa stepped up and sneered at his former mate. "We banished you, so get your child and get out!"
"Oh you haven't met my daughter, Nala." Tiifu tore her eyes from Mufasa to her sister. "Your niece." before moving them back to the glaring golden lion. "She was paw chosen by Manu to follow in his paw prints- and help her brother become...King!"
Mufasa and Kiara growled at that as Torrent laughed "King? More like a fuzzy Maraca!"
Rera chuckled at Torrent's joke before turning her attention on the her king and queen.
"Tiifu..." Zira started as she began to walk around the frighten Kovu. "Was one of the last borns before you..." Zira stopped and gave Mufasa a evil glare before continuing, "Exiled us to the Outlands..."
Alistair roared before getting in Tiifu's face with a snarl."You know why you were exiled!"
The Outlands princess smirked and finished with a dramaic stand, "Where there's little food and little water."
"You do the crime, you do the time! You don't get no pity from us!" growled Rera and Torrent with disgust in their eyes.
Tiifu looked over at them and growled "You two stay out of this!"
Kiara had enough and stepped up and growled. "You know the penalty for returning to the Pridelands!"
Tiifu glares at the light golden queen. "But the child does not! However... If the king need his pound of fresh-" the creamy lioness nudges Tiifu toward Mufasa, daring him to show either ruthlessness or cowardice.
Mufasa looked from the shaking cub to his sister in law and growled in disgust. "Take her and get out. We are finished here." then he grabbed Simba by the prince's nape while Alistair grabbed Alora.
Tiifu walks over and looks down at the terrified cubs. "Oh no,... We have barely begun." sneered Tiifu before she turns and picks up Nala in her jaws.
"Bye..." whispered Simba and Alora.
"Bye..." Nala whispered back before disappearing with her seething mother. She was afraid to think about what will happen when they get home.
