Chapter 28: A almost forgotten enemy

Zora had just collapsed on the floor in front of Abdul. Blood gushed down her cheek, sweat poured down her fore head The lionesses surrounded her. Abdul paced back and forth. First Shumba stole his first queen and now he'd almost killed his other queen?

"Thats it!" Shouted Abdul "Shumba has hurt me more than enough, if he wants to fight then we will! We will kill Shumba and his pathetic children and especially Nia for betraying us and ME!"

The lionesses hissed at the name and spat on the floor. A lioness ran up to shumba panting her face filled with deep concern.

"Abdul!" She panted. "A lion from the pride lands has tipped me off that Shumba Nia and their children have seeked refuge within Kovu and Kiara's pride!"

"Refuge" Spat Abdul grinning evily "They couldn't offer refuge if the pride were attacked by ANTS!" Abdul scoffed

"We will train our selves to the best of our ability's and will kill ALL pridelanders and take over pride rock!"

Everyone started to laugh.

"A perfect plan sire!" said one lioness.

"I'll start the training at once your highness!" Said another.

"The training will be intensified so it may take months, maybe a few years..." Abdul's face looked thoughtful.

"Now GET MOVING!" He roared as he took Zora into the cave on his back.

Back at pride rock the 5 lionesses, Eva, Vitani and Kiara were still cooing over Nia's Cubs. In the cave Shumba and Kovu talked.

"Shumba i'm sorry for what I put you through this is all my fault" Sighed Kovu.

Shumba looked at his father. Maybe running away was a bad Idea but he wouldn't of seen Nia again and had cubs with her if he didn't. Shumba's thoughts were interupted.

"...But in light of what has happened. I am going to consider making you king."

"What!" asked Shumba shocked. "What will Samba say? By the way where is Samba?"

Kovu looked unsure. "I really don't know" Said Kovu as he began to think about it. "Come to think of it, I havent seen him since earlier this morning."

"Oh" Shumba walked out the cave just in time to bump into a very guilty looking Samba.

"Brother!" Shumba grinned.

Samba stared at his paws but managed to crack a smile at his younger brother. Without warning Shumba hugged Samba, Squishing the life out of him.

"God you ARE freakishly strong!" Samba complained.

Shumba let go. "Sorry..."

"You should be!" Mumbled Samba brushing his self off. "You threatened to kill me a few month's ago!"

"Thats because you tryed to rape MY girlfriend!" Growled Shumba.

"I didn't know she was yours, honestly!" Said Samba quickly.

"Your forgiven." Grumbled Shumba rolling his green eye's. "Any way do you wanna meet your nephew and nieces?"

Samba's facial expression changed. "You have children?"

"Yeah four" Grinned Shumba. "Lets go and meet them"

Shumba led samba over to Nia where the four tiny cubs slept in her arm's. Samba tryed not to show it but he wasn't pleased. As the future king he needed heirs but Shumba had beaten him to it. He frowned at the cubs quietly. But Samba already knew about the cubs before Shumba Eva and Nia had reached pride rock...

A few years later, Haki, Dafina, Lila and Merah have now grown up. Shumba and Nia still remain in the pride, and the prides lowish numbers have increased from 8 lionesses to 12 and the pride is now 4 males strong. or is it?

Haki Roared at the top of pride rock, his white body and black mane stood out in the sun suddenly Dafina, Merah and Lila pounced on their brother, tumbling down the rock. The girls Landed on their brother laughing and giggling Haki wasn't impressed.

"Ouch!" He roared painfully

"What are you three doing down there?" Demanded Nia playfully.

"Ask the three she-devils" Mumbled Haki

"Oi!" Snapped Merah begining to growl.

Nia shook her head. "Im going for a drink"

"I'll come with you mummy..." began Haki. "I mean mother, to you know protect you!"

"Your father does that already" Replied Nia. Looking up on the rock she saw Shumba laying flat out on his back snoring loudly.

The girls caught their mother's eye and started sniggering.

"Well most of the time..." said Nia smiling

"We'll all go with you" Said Merah forcing a smile.

"As you wish" Said Nia grinning at her daughter.

The five lions headed towards the water hole leaving Shumba, Vitani, Kovu and the remaining pride back at the rock.

Back at the Ridge pride lands the training was almost complete.

"WE ATTACK AT DAWN!" Laughed Abdul
