-Back in the Fiereterres, near the Sunset Cliffs in the western boundary-
"Faster, Vitani, faster!". screamed a young voice as dust stirred up from a vehicle chase, a open-air Jeep chasing a ATV. Driving the ATV is Vitani herself, now 14 years old, her long blonde hair in a waist long ponytail waving in the air, wearing a dark green shirt over purple shorts, and brown boots. Her scars are visible, with her dark blue eyes glinting in frightening terror. Her young companion is Princess Kiara, the second child of Simba and Nala, sister of Kopa, now 6 years old, wearing her own given royal medallion, a cute pink shirt over a open-sided blue skirt, with short tan trousers under, and white converse, her now shoulder-high dark tan hair whipping in the air as well, her amber eyes widening in fright.
The two girls were planning to have a girls day, eating out in the village or something, when they soon came upon a band of brutish, dangerous pirates, and when they heard that Kiara is the princess by accident, the chase was on. "They're getting closer!". Kiara yelled to Vitani.
"Oi, you're hurting my ears. And don't you think I know that already?!". spat Vitani hurriedly as she tried to throttle the ATV faster. Suddenly, the Jeep bumped into the ATV, earning Kiara to scream again in terror, holding on to Vitani's torso tightly, with Vitani snarling as she tried to control her inner monster's instincts. She has great control over her monster form, thanks to the royal family's support and Kopa's expertise through memories, but she still has trouble once a while. And this is one of those times.
Then she saw someplace familiar, the mud wallows where she used to play with Kopa a long time ago, and grinned, "Hold on, Kiara! This is going to be a bumpy ride!". Her inner monster form was strangely agreeing with herself, and like a cat with a mouse, Vitani then knew what to do. She turned to the deep end, where she knew where some dangers were, thanks to Nala's warning and some dares from Kopa. Crocodiles, and rhinos. Crocodlies are more common than rhinos, but still, these two species are dangerous, which Vitani knew very well.
As the ATV revved through some rather perilous spots, Vitani then whistled a shrilly tone that riles up the crocodiles, and sure enough, Vitani and Kiara heard the syncing of high intensity threat hissing mixing with screams, then with the sounds reaching the rhinos' ears a distance away, they came in, their horns crashing into the Jeep. But Vitani and Kiara was too far away to know that as they reached the end of the mud wallows, and jumping into a low valley bed. Kiara asked, "Was that the mud wallows you told me about?".
Vitani grinned, "Yep, Kopa couldn't help himself to dare me sometimes while we played tag.". Kiara giggled, then frowned as she saw something or someone in the distance, "Who's that?". Vitani looked over, and snarled, "Zira.".
"Well, well, if it wasn't my distraught daughter and the bratty daughter of the coward King.". Zira chuckled as if she was laughing at something. Vitani wrinkled her nose, and narrowed her eyes. "If you dare do something against the princess and me, who's a ward of royalty under the family, King Simba will exile you this time, as you obviously spent time in jail, then disappeared without a trace.". Vitani warned Zira calmly yet angrily.
"Obviously I came back, and I bought friends, through I didn't expect your expertise of the mud wallows that way.". Zira surmised slowly. Kiara gasped, "You told on us to those meanies?.". Zira's red eyes glinted, "Oh, yes. And I am going to rid of you two my way. "take illis tantum haec terra, tantum ex mihi.". Zira's hands glowed with a midnight purple yet blood red aura, then the glow turned into a light that zoomed around the girls, Kiara screaming in terror and clutching Vitani by the side with her hands clenched into Vitani's shirt, with Vitani giving a glare of piercing lilac eyes which was her inner monster form showing through. Zira waved goodbye. The girls disappeared, leaving the ATV intact and still.
Zira snorted, "Better put this ATV somewhere and wrecked. I have a feeling that poor Simba will be shell-shocked once he finds out that the pirates took his poor daughter and Vitani.". Yet did she know was that the girls has appeared in a place where the Dame Lis will shore.
