Ujanja gulped as he saw Kion slowly advancing towards him and he looked back to see a very large cliff that would no doubt kill him if he would fall down there. This wasn't going to his plan and he was starting to become worried.

"L - L - Let me explain! Please!" he tried pleading with the angry King.

Kion chuckled darkly as he narrowed his eyes. "Oh, I'll let you explain. But it won't do you any good. There's a few things I hate. One, lions trying to steal my mate. Two, my Pride in danger. And three, lions trying to kill my family!"

Ujanja gulped as he backed up more. "It was an accident!"

Kion rolled his eyes. "Oh, and I'm supposed to believe that?"

Ujanja chuckled weakly as he gulped as he grinned. He hoped Kion wouldn't do anything. "Um, yes?"

Kion snarled as he raised his paw before Rani was beside him, whispering something into his ear and the king sighed heavily as he lowered his paw. He couldn't kill in front of his cubs. That wouldn't be good and his cubs were too young to witness death despite what Ujanja had tried to do to them.

Simba didn't want to believe it. While he knew Kion didn't remember a thing about them, the way he looked proved it all to him. Kion looked so much like his father. He was a grandfather! Him, the King of the Pridelands, a grandfather to the heirs of the Tree of Life! Now, Ujanja had tried to kill his grandcubs.

No. That lion wouldn't get away with that. With a growl, he stepped up to his son's side and stared Ujanja in the eyes.

Ujanja smiled weakly at the Pridelands' King. "Why, King Simba."

"You tried to kill cubs." Simba growled as he flicked his tail. His amber eyes held fire in them. "My own grandcubs at that. Now, my son may not remember anything, but that doesn't mean we can't help when his cubs are attacked."

Kion arched an eyebrow. "You killed cubs before." he stated. "Why should I allow you to help?"

"Those were lies."

"How could they be lies?" Kion asked, surprised. "Despite what Ujanja had done, he doesn't lie about the Pridelands."

Simba sighed heavily as he looked at his son. "He has lied about us. Once we're done with him, then you can kill me without having to worry about a fight."

Kion was taken aback. "What? You'd just let me kill you?"

Simba smiled at his son and nodded. "If it means that much to make you believe otherwise then yes."

Kion stuttered before gulping as he looked at Ujanja. "Let's just deal with them first."

Ujanja paled as he saw the two lions advancing and in that moment, they truly looked like father and son.

YWE

"Dad!"

Simba went still at the sound of Talib's voice and tried to keep his eyes on Ujanja. He knew his son would be confused at the other Pride and cubs. But what could they do now?

"Dad, who are they? Why are they here?" Talib asked.

Nala looked at her youngest cub. "Your brother has returned. This is his pride."

Talib's eyes went wide as he looked at the golden lion beside his father. His brother was tall! Taller than his father. His mane was fluffy with dark red stripes where it curved backwards. He looked at his brother's cubs and saw how much they looked like him and then to his brother's mate. She was beautiful and he knew his brother did well.

The youngest prince gulped at the dark gray lion. "And who's that?"

"The lion who tried killing our nephew and niece." Kiara stated with a snarl. "Dad and Kion are going to take him out."

Kopa shared a look with Janna before they shifted closer together under Baliyo's protection. "Get him daddy!" they shouted. "Kick his butt!"

Kion smiled at his cubs' words. "I'll never get tired of that."

"It truly warms the heart, eh?" Simba chuckled in agreement. "You know, you used to do that."

Kion arched an eyebrow. "I did?" he took a swipe at Ujanja.

"Always. If an attacker came near, you'd always shout for me." Simba smiled as he took a shot at Ujanja, who stumbled backwards before attacking the golden king. "I miss those times."

Kion grunted when Ujanja hit him in the shoulder. "Was it true when he said you tried to kill me?"

"Never! Why would I kill my own son?" Simba said.

Ujanja snarled darkly. "Because you didn't care for him!"

"I cared for him!" Simba shouted back as he pushed Ujanja. "I loved him! He was my baby boy! He was my everything like he was Nala's!"

Kion just stopped as he watched Ujanja get pushed off the cliff and he could suddenly hear shouting in the back of his mind. Everything seemed to vanish as he saw two cubs; one golden, one light golden. They were fighting. By a different cliff but it was much like this situation. Things got out of paw.

Both were accidentally pushed by the light golden's friend with the blue eyes. The two cubs fell off the side and a bird went flying off to find someone to help.

... and then thunder and lightning struck as it started raining.
