Kion felt the wind blow on his red mane as his eyes widened. How could this lioness know his name? Who was she? His eyes moved over to his mate who looked at him with confusion before he opened his mouth to speak before he slammed his mouth shut with stun.

It was a good few moments before he could answer Nala.

"Do I know you? How do you know my name?"

Nala held back a gasp as one was heard behind her. Instead, she smiled gently at her long forgotten son who had finally returned to them.

"It'd be silly for a mother to not recognize her cub. I know your name because I named you myself. You're my son."

Kion's eyes widened even more as he tried responding once more but he couldn't. Rani stepped up to her mate's side and nuzzled him. Her chocolate eyes landed on what could be her mother - in - law and took a deep breath. Her mate was far too shocked to even reply to Nala's claims at the moment. She was as well but one of them had to answer.

Rani took one more deep breath before stepping up. "Kion said he didn't have a family when he joined the Night Pride as a young cub."

Nala cocked her head to the side. "He has a family. It's us."

By this time, Kion got over his shock as he padded up to his mate as he flicked his tail. Surak and Baliyo were confused and Ujanja was just getting annoyed at how long this was taking for a fight that would end the Pridelands. How long would this be until Kion killed Simba and his family? They could take them down.

Simba had just now noticed the dark gray furred lion and narrowed his eyes as he bared his teeth angerily. Ujanja mocked him by doing the same before nudging his head towards Kion and Simba sighed before controlling himself. He couldn't risk a fight with his long lost son.

"No." Kion shook his head as he stood tall. "I don't have a family. I don't remember having one."

Kiara's eyes widened as she realized what this meant and she held back a sob. "You have amnesia. You don't remember anything at all about us. The fell gave you amnesia."

Kion arched an eyebrow at the words. "What fall? Queen Janna and Nirmala had told me that I had amnesia shortly after I woke up at the Tree of Life. But I have no memory of what you claim to be a fall."

Simba shifted nervously on his paws and Ujanja chuckled. This would be a wonderful chance to make a fight occour without a doubt this would make it all so worth it. He grinned as he stepped up to stand behind Kion.

"Why the fall where Simba tried to kill you!" Ujanja spat out and Kion's eyes widened.

Kopa and Janna shifted nervously as Kovu and Vitani kept watch over them. All they wanted was to go home and they knew at the border could be their parents and Pride. They wouldn't be forgotten about. But the two lions were keen on keeping watch on them.

As soon as the two lions were distracted by two lionesses of the pride, the twins snuck out. Kopa made sure Janna got out first before quickly following his twin. They didn't know where the borders were so they asked around until a kind elephant pointed in the direction were the two prides were. As soon as their parents came into view, they broke out into cries.

The cries were loud enough to halt their father's growing anger towards the Pridelands.

"Daddy!" Kopa cried out as they ran. "Mama! Daddy! Mama!"

Janna allowed her pace to match her brother's as she cried out. "Mama! Daddy!"

Rani's eyes widened as she saw her cubs. "Kopa! Janna!" she cried out in reply as the two cubs moved past the Pridelanders into their parents' embraces. "My babies! I thought we lost you!"

Kion's anger vanished the moment his daughter rushed into his embrace. "Janna! My baby girl! You and your brother scared us so much!"

"Kopa! Don't you dare do that to me again!" Rani scolded her son.

Kopa nuzzled into his mother's embrace. "We were so scared mama! The river was harsh! But animals saved us! The Queen saved us, mama!"

Kion stopped mid nuzzle as he heard his son's words. "What do you mean by that? They 'saved' you?"

Kopa looked over at his dad. "Miss Nala saved us, daddy. She took us to Pride Rock! Daddy, they say their your family!"

Kion blinked once more. The second time he had heard it. But this time it was from his cubs. What was going on? He didn't know these lions! There was no way these lions could be his family. He had no family aside from his mate, cubs, and the Night Pride.

YWE

Ujanja growled as he watched the cubs return to their parents. Didn't he kill those brats? With a smile, he stepped up to greet them but they shrank away in fear and Kion arched an eyebrow as he gazed at his good friend.

"What's wrong?" Kion asked his daughter. "It's just Ujanja."

Kopa shrank deeper into his mother's embrace and Rani was taken aback. While she knew both twins didn't like strangers, they had met Ujanja. As Nala looked at the cubs, she realized it was out of fear. It wasn't the same fear they showed when meeting the Pridelands, but out of a different fear.

"They're scared of Ujanja." Nala stated.

Kion looked over at the Queen of the Pridelands. "But whatever for? They've met Ujanja."

Nala moved towards Janna and lowered herself down to the cub's level. "Can you tell me why you're scared of him?" she asked gently as Janna moved in between her father's legs. "Please? Don't worry. Your father will protect you."

Janna shook as she stuttered out the answer. "He tried to kill us!"

Kopa nodded in agreement. "He hit us into the river! Daddy, mama, he tried to kill us! He's the reason why we're in the Pridelands!"

Kion roared loudly in outrage as he turned to face Ujanja, allowing Nala to take his daughter out of the way and hold her. Baliyo moved quickly to take his niece and thanked Nala for looking after her and purred when Janna nuzzled into his mane with comfort. Kopa whimpered as Rani licked his head in comfort while glaring daggers at Ujanja.

The dark gray furred lion gulped as Kion advanced with a murderous glare. He really should've made sure the twins were dead, but he didn't expect them to outright tell their parents or survive!

"Ujanja."

The older lion shrank back as he heard the tone. "Yes, Kion?"

"My cubs say you tried to kill them." Kion snarled as he unleashed his claws.

Ujanja chuckled weakly. "That isn't true! Why would I harm them?"

Rani growled lowly as she glared. But it was Surak who spoke up. "Because you've been pulling bull like this throughout your entire time you were in the Night Pride before Rani and Baliyo were born and before Kion joined."

Ujanja stuttered to answer but couldn't find his voice as he witnessed an very angry King Kion.
