Chapter 25 Rogue Attack!

Several weeks had gone by and the rouge pride were allusive as they were training for their attack on the Pridelands. Meanwhile Queen Kiara was getting more and irritable because her unborn cub was growing and kicking and her stomach was showing it.

Rafiki was announcing his retirement and putting his nephew Nefu in charge as the new shaman of the pride.

"Now you see Nefu as you know you will have great responsibility being the shaman of the Pridelands." Rafiki said.

"I know Uncle. And good luck at d end of your journey to the great beyond."

"It is the circle of life. Now it is time," Rafiki said while laughing manically The two Baboon hybrids hugged and Rafiki left.

"Asanta santa squash banana….. he said as he left in the distance.

Nefu waved and laughed goodbye to his uncle and then turned to his Baobab tree to learn of Raffikis secrets over the years.

Back at Pride Rock Queen Kiara was eating her lunch when Duke Mheetu, Sweetie, General Kopa, Colonel Vitani and Dotty had returned.

"Kopa your back!" Kiara screamed.

"Kiara!" I missed you sis," Kopa said as he ran to hug his sister.

"Mheetu your safe!" Ashanti said to greet her husband.

"Daddy! Heri said to her father as she also went to hug him.

"My you have grown Heri. I missed you too." Mheetu kissed his wife and daughter and embraced them in a big hug.

"Now that were all back let me start by saying that the negotiations with the Mountain pride on the migratory's have been successful Duke Mheetu said."

"Thank you Uncle Mheetu." Kiara said.

"Sis we heard about the death of Kovu and allusive rouge killer pride. May I suggest that we prepare for an immediate battle if they plan to strike us. That way we will be ready for them," Kopa interrupted.

"I agree Kiara if you remember when our prides were split you never knew when Scar would strike and attack." Vitani conferred with Kopa's statement.

"Yes I agree Colonel. I think You and my brother should talk to the old General and discuses ways to train better and harder since this rogue pride is unpredictable." Kiara said

"Kiara I suggest that when teams aren't hunting they should be training for an attack," Kopa said.

"Very well agreed. Bluey come here please?" Kiara asked in a sweet voice.

"Yes Your Majesty?" Bluey Flew up and bowed before the Queen.

"Tell your squad about the new ordnance about our pride training when they are not hunting. I want them to spread the word to all the pride on what the situation is and what went down." Kiara was telling Bluey.

"Yes your Highness anything else?" Bluey asked.

"Yes I'm hungry! Bring me a snack before dinner!" Kiara ordered.

"Yes Your majesty." Bluey whistled in for some lioness to bring in some warthogs to satisfy her extra cravings for food. Then Bluey bowed and flew off to do what he was instructed.

So Bluey informed to his squad about the new laws instituted. All with the exception of Birdie went throughout of the pride to inform them of the news.

Kiara had resigned hunting party schedules to allow time for training for all. Also she made Spotty and Dotty her loyal body guards as Ashanti was taking care of her family and a team leader for the hunts.

Three months later Ashanti's team was hunting wildebeest when a lioness heard a ruffling in the foliage.

"What was that?" asked the Lioness.

"I don't know," said Ashanti."

"Great there goes the prey," Another lioness said.

Just then a group of six rouge lions sprung up and started to attack the hunting team.

"Attackers!" Ashanti yelled.

"To your training," a Jenna said.

The Rouges struck fast but had reinforcements. Jenna ran out of the fight and saw Vitani patrolling and yelled for help.

Vitanni immediately ran to get Sweetie who rushed to get the Pridlanders reinforcements. The battle was on and the reinforcement Pridelanders struck fast as the rouge lions fought back hard. Kopa rushed to the scuffle and started issuing orders. Vitani repeated orders and called on Sweetie to call the other lionesses for help.

The rouges were caught by surprise that the Pridlanders responded to attacks very quickly. A rogue decided to call of a retreat since it was unexpected for the attacks to come so quickly and with more lions approaching to fight them.

Kopa yelled to chase them as they retreated but they disappeared somehow.

"How did they disappear so quickly?" Vitani asked.

"I don't know but somehow they hid their scent."

"Let's report back to Kiara about this incident," Kopa said.

"Right," Vitani said.

Meanwhile, The Rouges slipped out of there hiding hole and left for their secret hiding place and met with Kane and Pain.

"Did you kill the Pride Landers?" Kane asked.

"Well you see you majesty…."

"We were outnumbered too fast." A Rouge cut the other off.

"You failed!" Pain roared

"Yes." He squeaked back.

"Kill him," Kane said.

The rouge that said yes was instantly killed by another Lion that was black as night.

"Let this be a lesson to the rest of you we don't tolerate failure here. Kane boomed to the rest of the rouge pride.'' NOW LEAVE PAIN AND I ALONE FOR THE MOMENT WHILE YOU ALL TRAIN EXTRA HARDER WITHOUT FOOD TONIGHT!" Kane roared to the pride.

The rouges dispersed and left pain and the hyena alone.

Kain turned to Pain and the Hyena

"The pridlanders are faster than we thought," Pain said.

"I told ya they would be hard to defeat," The hyena said.

"Shut it we will find there weakness and kill them all," Kane spoke.

"Their weakness is will be their own doing," the hyena said.

"Their organized said complained the Hyena

"We must prepare!"

Back at Pride Rock

"My Lady we were ambushed by the Rouge Pride." Ashanti said.

Kiara broke her eating with blood dripping from her mouth. "Is that so. How many of them were there?"

"At first six had ambushed us. However more of them had arrived with reinforcements. I nodded to Jenna who was injured to get Colonel Vitani to our reinforcements," Ashanti said.

"That's horrible. We need to be more prepared for better ambushes or attacks in the future when they do that again." Kiara then sighed.

"Your Majesty we are still very responsive to the attacks. Vitani said.

"Good job Colonel. However we need to work even faster and try to sniff them out better to they can be defected. Jenna's injury shows that we are not at the best of capability. I believe we can do better.

"My lady we need more time to practice," Ashanti suggested.

"NO we can not hesitate or fall behind!" Kiara yelled.

"Kiara the best way to win is teamwork and good morals otherwise were pushing way too hard," Kopa said.

"Kopa, do you believe that this would work?"

"Yes I do as what I learned when I was gone from this land," Kopa responded.

"Well then general do as what you trust. But I want you to have lions train with there noses better so we can handle ambushes better.

"Yes Your highness."

"Dismissed!"

"Dotty, Spotty!" Kiara said with a evil grin.

"Yes your highness. The twins said in unison. "Don't hurt me." Spotty said.

"Time for my bath at the watering hole."

"Yes your majesty, as the twins looked at each other in disgust.

"Well come on lets go."
