A/N I wasn't planning on making a sequel, but one just came to mind. So I decided to make one. Instead of being about Scar's pride, this one is about Little Rose's.

I don't own Scar, Nuka or Vitani, or any other Lion King characters; they all belong to Disney. I do own the rest of the lions though. Also, I'm busy with other stories, so this may not be updated much.

Mysterygirl145: Thank you :) Well, they aren't; they'll be introduced in this chapter.

Robert Downey Jr94: You'll find out; thanks :)

thebigcrunchone9: Thanks :)

Zanondalf1992: Thanks :D I already have the last few chapters written out, and Simba and his family aren't making an appearance.

Lord of Beef Dip: That's fine :)

Thanks very much :D I'm still kinda working on a oneshot of that.

In my universe, Zira killed him when he was a cub; not very original XD but I didn't have many other ideas.

I've been thinking about it, but I have other projects I want to work on, so it either won't happen, or it'll happen slowly. I'll try not to; basically, I'd write that Zira IS jealous of Rose, but wouldn't dare kill her because that would anger Scar, and he would want her even less.

Warriors-Horseland-Gal: What can I say; I like surprises :D


Chapter 14

All at once, more roars pierced the air. Then, Dogo, Nuka, and Isaac came running through the grass, growling. "Not you again!" Dogo snarled.

"Get away from our children!" Nuka roared.

The two younger lions growled at the Brown Pride. "You're outnumbered, three to five," The golden one said. "You might as well leave."

"Yes," The brown lion agreed. "Leave, before the rest of the pride comes."

"My m-mom killed one of you b-before," Taka added. "She can d-do it again!"

The brown lions glared at the others. After several minutes, Kahawia finally said, "Very well. But we'll be back, someday."

"No, you won't," Dogo corrected harshly. "You'll stay far away from my pride; from my family. You'll never set paw into this territory ever again! Now get out of here!"

Kahawia growled before stalking away; Haraka and Kishindo followed their brother. Soon, they were gone.

Taka and Uru, Moses, and Adui, Mbili, and Moja ran to their fathers; Zahra and Anza went to their Uncle Nuka. "Thank Maahes you're all safe." Dogo sighed. He looked at the young lions who had gotten to their kin first. "Thank you, for saving our children."

"Of course," The golden lion nodded. "We would never leave young lions, who are in danger, alone. My name is Zuri. This is my brother, Mambo."

"We've heard of your pride," Mambo mentioned. "You are King Dogo, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am." He nodded.

"And your mate, Queen Little Rose? She's mute, right?"

"…Yes." Dogo raised an eyebrow, growing suspicious.

Throwing a slight glare to his brother, Zuri chuckled, "Please, forgive my brother. He tends to speak freely."

"Oh, it's fine." Nuka smiled.

"Anyway, we left our pride several days ago. We've thought about creating our own pride, but we haven't met any females who are interested. So, I was just wondering, would it be possible for us to join yours?"

"We can cub-sit," Mambo spoke up.

"We're not babies!" Uru protested angrily. "I'm going on my first hunt in a month! And Zahra's older than all of us!"

"Uru, he didn't mean offence." Isaac chided.

"Yes, as I said, he speaks his mind too much." Zuri added, throwing a charming smile at the reddish-brown female.

"But my mate and I do have two young cubs," Malka said. "They're a little over a week old." He turned to Dogo. "Maybe it would be a good idea to have some extra paws in the pride, hm? I doubt we've seen the last of the Brown Pride."

"I agree," Nuka nodded. "Plus, he did save our children."

Dogo gazed at the young lions, deep in thought. He didn't deny that he was worried the Brown Pride would return. And even though the pride was big, and already had five growing males to add to the other five, Isaac had told him that Moja and Mbili were thinking of leaving the pride to travel. And Kafil was getting old; he usually spent his days laying in the shade, talking with Kenya, Mildred, Matilda, and Savannah, who were as old as he. Bora led the hunting parties right now, and in a month, as his daughter said, Uru herself would hunt as well.

Finally, he said, "I want to talk it over with Little Rose; as queen, it is also her decision to allow strangers into the pride. When she hears you saved the children from the Brown Pride, she may be in favor of you joining. I want you to stay in the pride for a day; we will see if you can join. If not, you must leave immediately. Do you two understand?"

"Yes, your majesty." Zuri and Mambo both bowed their heads low.

"Very well. Let's go home." Dogo turned and led the rest of the lions home; Taka and Uru bounded close behind.


As they neared camp, Zahra and Anza turned to go home. They said goodbye to their friends, thanked Zuri and Mambo for saving them, and ran home to their family. Eventually, the rest of the lions came home.

Little Rose trotted up quickly with a worried expression, nuzzled Dogo deeply, and nuzzled her children. "Did Zoe tell you what happened?" Dogo asked.

She nodded, glancing at the young strangers, who immediately bowed their heads to the queen. "These two saved the children," Dogo explained. "They offered some extra paws in the pride; I think we should give them a day's chance."

Little Rose sent them a grateful smile for saving Taka, Uru, and their friends. After thinking the proposition over for a few seconds, she nodded to Dogo. Understanding, he turned to Zuri and Mambo, and said, "You may stay for a day; until then, we will consider letting you two stay."

They nodded their thanks. "Your highness, I am Zuri," The gold adolescent said, bowing at the foreleg. "This is my younger brother, Mambo. As a warning, he tends to speak his mind frequently."

"I can introduce myself, Zu." Mambo frowned, tossing a thick tangle of mane from his face. "I don't forget my own name, you know."


A/N Not very long, but I hadn't updated in over a month, so I just wanted to post SOMETHING!

Like I said in the last chapter, I created the two new lions when I decided to extend the storyline. Since I've been revising the bios of the KotS characters, you probably won't see them right away. Basically, Zuri is golden-colored with a darker mane and tail, and blue eyes. I even have a voice actor for him and his brother; Zuri's is Kenneth Branagh, who played Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets, and voiced Miguel in Road to El Dorado. I was thinking of Lockhart when doing Zuri's design (I don't like Lockhart at all)

Mambo is all brown, and his mane and tail are tangled. His voice actor is one of my favorites: Johnny Depp, who played Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean series) Mad Hatter (Alice in Wonderland 2010) and voiced Rango in the movie of the same title. Jack Sparrow inspired Mambo's design; plus, he kinda has the same loopy attitude as Jack.

Also, I won't say on DeviantART, but since she was the most popular choice, and is my favorite as well, Taka II's love interest is Zahra, Sunita's silver cub :D
