Ch 21 Saving Kion part 1

Zira and her followers ran until they reached the farthest part of the Outlands. "Put me down Zira!" Scar commanded. "I will not be carried around like a child."

"Forgive me Scar," Zira said as she placed Scar on the ground. "But that was the quickest way to get you safely back here."

"Not so safe Zira!" a voice growled. Zira and her Pride turned and saw Kiara standing there along with her Guard.

"Damn you brats!" Zira snarled. "I'll teach you a lesson you won't soon forget!"

"I'll handle this Zira," Scar said, stepping in front of the tan lioness.

"As you wish Scar," Zira said as she backed up and stood beside Kinta.

"You little shits really think you can defeat me?" Scar snarled, glaring at the group. "You're even more stupid than I thought." Scar let out a cruel laugh when he said this part. Vitani snarled and was about to lunge.

"No 'Tani I got this," Nuka said. Vitani nodded, knowing what Nuka was going to do. "Is it ok Kiara?" Nuka asked, looking at his leader.

"Go for it Nuk'," Kiara said with an approving smile. Nuka smiled back and after taking a deep breath he stepped forward.

"Father," the brown coated lion said, trying not to let his nervousness show. By now Fuli, Bunga, Ono and Zuri had joined the group, followed closely by the adults. The group silently watched hoping Nuka, as Scar's son, would be able to get through to him. "Father," Nuka said again. "Why are you doing this?"

"Well look who it is," Scar said, letting out a scoff. "If it isn't my weak, pathetic son. So nice of you to come and witness my triumph."

"Father as you can see I'm not the same weak, scrawny, pathetic little cub you knew," Nuka said, indicating his well built body when he spoke. "And I'm not afraid of you anymore. But I also know there must be some goodness in you. I know that deep down there's still a little part at Taka, the good lion you were before Scar took over. And I know he wants to do the right thing."

"Foolish boy," Scar said, his voice dark. "Taka is long dead. If you thought I was evil when I was alive I'm ten times worse now! So your pathetic pleas are for nothing! I have no decency! I have no goodness! I am the devil come alive!" While he was talking Scar's eyes flashed with fire and his voice became more and more demonic. Nuka gasped and backed up, his red eyes wide with fear.

"Whoa," Vitani gasped, backing up until she was beside Kurya. Kovu was already there, as he too was terrified at what was happening. Tiifu was hiding behind Aibu and Zuri was between Kubwa's legs.

"Hapana!" Ono cried out as he perched on Fuli's head. Fuli's eyes were huge and she and Bunga backed up until the were beside Timon and Pumbaa, who were. surprisingly, standing bravely beside Simba and Nala. Kiara was trying not to show her fear, but seeing as though she was only an eight month old cub she was still terrified as to what was happening before her. Suddenly a voice cried out, "Enough Scar!" The group looked up and saw that Mufasa had returned. Only this time he wasn't alone. There were several Spirits with him. Suddenly one of the winds came forwards and hit Simba hard in the back of his head.

"Huh?" the golden King said, surprised by the hit. Then it dawned on his who the wind was. "Rafiki," he whispered with a smile. Then the wind struck again. Only this time it hit Kopa hard on the back of his head.

"Hey!" he cried out, rubbing the back of his head. "What gives?"

"Ah ha it seams my fader is trying to tell you someting," Busara said with a laugh. "If I were you I would listen to him."

"I don't understand," Kopa said. "What's he trying..." But before he could finish the same wind picked up and pushed him towards Kion. ""He wants me to help Kion?" Kopa said, looking at Busara.

"Dat is exactly what he wants," Busara said with a smile.

"But I don't know how.." Kopa began. But the wind once again hit Kopa in the back of his head. "Ow jeeze ok I get it,"" Kopa said, rolling his blue eyes. "I have to figure out a way to help him on my own."

"I'll help you," Kiara offered. "After all Kion's my little brother too. Besides I think you need all the help you can get." Kiara smiled at he big brother when she said this.

"Thanks little sis," Kopa said with a smile of his own. Then the siblings walked towards Kion/Scar. Scar was still distracted by Mufasa so he failed to notice the duo approaching.

"Oh no you don't," Zira snarled, as she saw Kopa and Kiara. But to her shock she saw Vitani, Kovu and Nuka blocking her path.

"End of the line Mother," Nuka snarled, glaring at Zira.

"We're not going to let you interfere," Kovu growled as he too glared at the crazed tan lioness.

"You miserable little shits aren't going to stop me!" Zira snarled. "I can easily dispose of the three of you!" With that Zira raised her paw to strike the three cubs.

"We're not afraid of you anymore Zira!" Vitani cried out as she smacked Zira's paw away. Stunned Zira let out a hiss of annoyance as she went to strike again.

"We're not scared little cubs anymore!" Kovu shouted as he caught Zira's paw and bit down hard. Zira let out a cry that was both of pain and surprise. Before she could recover Nuka rammed into her hard, causing her to hit her head on a nearby rock.

"You'll never be able to hurt us or anyone else ever again!" Nuka roared as he pinned Zira to the ground and raised his paw to finish her. But suddenly he stopped.

"Go on Nuk' finish her," Kovu said.

"I..I don't think I can," Nuka said, his voice shaking. "I mean even after all she's done she's still my mother. I..I don't think I can kill her."

"Well she ain't my mother," a voice cried out. Looking over the siblings saw Fuli there along with Ono and Bunga. Before anyone knew what was happening Fuli raced up and slashed Zira's throat, killing her.

"Whoa," Kovu breathed, his green eyes wide.

"Wait to go Fuli!" Vitani said with a smile.

"Nuka are you ok?" Fuli asked, giving her boyfriend a nuzzle. "I'm sorry I did that Nuk'. But she..."

"No its ok Ful'," Nuka said with a smile. "She deserved it. I'm just glad she's dead and gone."

"C'mon lets go!" Bunga cried out. "There's still a battle to win here!" With that the group of young animals went to help their friends save Kion.

When Zira was battling it out with Nuka, Kovu and Vitani Kinta was having a battle of his own. Like Zira he had seen Kopa and Kiara go to help their brother and he aimed to stop them. But he soon found himself face to face with Simba and Nala, both of them glaring at the sandy brown lion. "Simba," Kinta snarled, glaring at the golden coated King. "At long last we're going to finish this."

"You're damn right we are you bastard!" Simba snarled back. "You've done nothing but cause my family pain. That ends now!"

"For once we're agreed," Kinta said, his voice low and dark.

"Last chance Kinta," Nala said, her blue eyes filled with hate. "Leave now and never return and your life will be spared."

"Not a chance!" Kinta growled. "You and your mate are dead!" With that Kinta let out a roar and lunged towards Simba and Nala all three of them out for the kill.
