So, I know this sounds like it's going to tie into Lion King 2 but to be honest it's not. For one, Kion didn't gain the Mark of Evil and doesn't leave the Pride Lands. With Kion having to face his own villain that has past history with the Royal Family (Some of you may say he's an O.C when you find out who he is but to me he ain't.
A couple years quickly passed quickly and much have changed within the Pride Lands from two years ago. A old mjuzi, Rafiki, stood in his giant and huge tree with his young apprentice, Makini, acompanying him.
Rafiki was watching over a few paintings, whispering things to himself. "Oh, Mufasa... every day Kiara grows more beautiful, into a Queen that will someday make us all very proud. Kion is also growing to be a resourceful leader of the Lion Guard, who is going to make all very proud.But this cub Kovu grows stronger. And Zira fills his heart with hate. I have wonder about Kiara, Tiifu, and Zuri who seems to be helping Kion and when he decided to train them for some reason, I believe Kion knows something that we don't. I am very worried, Mufasa. Things are not going well."
The wind begin blowing, at first slowly but much more violently however still in a peaceful state. "Hmmmmmm? You have a plan?" Rafiki asked.
One gourd falls, splitting in half. Rafiki holds up the two halves against the painting of Kiara and Kovu, and brings them together until they join. "What? Kovu... Kiara... together? This is the plan?" Rafiki questioned, narrowing his eyes."Are you crazy? This will never work! Oh, Mufasa, you been up there too long. Your head is in the clouds!"
As he shouted this part, the wind begin blowing on him, making the mjuzi trying to swipe at it to get the huge wind off of him. Rafiki could have sweared he heard Makini's soft giggle behind. "Okay, okay, okay! Okay! All right-- okay! I don't think this is going to work... but I trust you. I just hope you know what you are doing!"
"Wait, Mufasa," Makini chimed in awkwardly up to the winds of the past. "What about Kion?" Just then, soft air pushed against her and the young mandrill left her Master's side and went somewhere else, ignoring her Master's calls for her to come back.
Abruptly, she came to a stop when she'd saw a painting she have never seen before. In the place of an image, a small golden cub with brown mane and blue eyes stood.
"What is this?" Makini asked herself. "I had never seen this painting in Rafiki's tree before."
"Oh, Makini," a voice said from behind. "We have much to discuss. I have been keeping secrets from you for far too long..."
Makini frowned, having known this is going to be a long night, but she wanted to know the secrets and she have been kept in the dark for a long time, clearly by the much dirt on this paint it must be old.
A brown-coated lion with neon green eyes and a brown mane sat against an ledge. He have grown a lot in the last few years. A tan lioness smirked at the brown-coated lion. "You're ready. Nice, very nice. You have the same blackness in your soul Scar had."
The brown-coated lion let out a slight growl at that. "What is your destiny?" Zira questioned.
"I would avenge Scar, take his place in the Pride Lands," the brown-coated lion vowed with such unbearable preasure.
"Good, what have I taught you?" the lioness was leaping for joy inside, her teeth gritting more at the pleasurable action of Simba's blood all over the ground. Her eyes gleamed with pleasure at the thought of Simba's dying grasp.
"Simba is the enemy," the brown-coated lion repeated the words told to him by his mother in his years growing up and just couldn't wait to avenge the one who chosen him as heir.
Ever since Vitani disappeared a couple of years ago, Kovu found himself questioning why and how she disappeared. Zira had thought Simba wanted to avenge himself by taking her own cub like he did hers, but vultures who work with her throughout the years.
Zira's first son, the real and the only son of Scar, Nuka, have been acting strange for months. He seems to be denying her and doesn't seem to be afraid. He also start building up some muscles, but to her he is just an waste of time and just an weird creepy lion.
"And what must you do?!" Zira relished into the thought as Scar's heir is making promises. She have been plotting this plans and is going to revenge her deceased love one.
Kovu's blood ran cold as his eyes gleamed with vengeance. "I must kill him!" All of the lionesses around roared with absolute vengeance, eager for King Simba's and all of his pride mates blood.
Further into the Outlands, a golden lion with blue eyes and a light brown mane rested. It have been an couple years since his death attemption to the Prince of the Pride Lands. He was reaching adulthood but still an adolescent, however now he has an full mane and is way passed maturity.
The golden lion have felt it was time to lure Prince Kion out of the Pride Lands to hunt him down. He knew how to make the prince to chase and hunt him down. For one thing, Kion doesn't like when his love ones are hurted. So what else to do then kill a love one?
Since the former Queen of the Pride Lands, Sarabi, still lived after the current Queen's mother, Kion's other grandmother, Sarafina, to put in short, died a few years ago due to old age.
Sarabi still somehow lived but she is very old now. Of course, he wasn't going to expose himself just yet, but he'll send one of his lions, who claimed to be Zuri's cousin after her.
His name is Giza and the golden lion been alerted by his spies to what the lioness name Zuri did to him and embarrassed him infront of other animals and somehow he manage to draw him out.
Giza was more than glad to carry the lion's plan out to take revenge on Kion and his cousin. He actually useful and can carried out missions and have grown into a force to be reckoned with.
He approached with a wicked smile. "Now Giza, my old friend," the golden lion said slyly, placing an paw on his shoulder. "You know what to do tomorrow."
The dark mix fur lion held his position high at his 'friend'. "I would kill Queen Sarabi and when Tiifu is tracking and preparing for her first hunt, I would force myself onto her." Giza knew that lionesses sometime patrol and considering tomorrow is Kiara's first hunt, he could attack in the morning when the lionesses headed out 'cause Kiara is going to start her first hunt by noon.
"Now you should go get some rest, my friend, you got a busy day tomorrow," the golden lion cackled madly before walking off and leaving the dark tan lion to himself.
Suddenly, an female hyena with gray strands came up all over her hair tuff. It's quite clear that she had age but despite being young she aged. "Boss, you summoned me?" the female hyena questioned.
"Yes, Shenzi," the golden lion said, smiling evilly. The next part of the plan is to chase that fool, Janja, and his hyenas, out of the Outlands. More or less, half of Janja's hyenas joined them after seeing how foolish he is and clearly can't leave. But of course Janja must be disposed of. "I need you to kill Janja."
The female hyena's first determination look was replace by shock and surprise. "But, boss, he's my-"
The old hyena was cut short by the golden lion's sharp and annoyed growl. "He may be your child, but that hyena is the only reason why we have failed. Plus, it's not like you even raised him. I would send someone to Pride Rock to alert Kion of the threat outside of the Pride Lands and there is no doubt Kion would come after us, even if it comes to leaving his family."
"Are we even sure that Janja would fight back or manage to escape us?" the female hyena wondered.
"Janja don't have that much hyenas in his clan," the golden lion said. "He only have like thirty hyenas. I want Kion to start snapping at his family. With the loss of his grandmother and Kion's friend getting force upon would surely have him gather all the allies needed and chase us to these faraway lands."
"How do you know Kion won't find a shortcut?" the female hyena insisted. "I'm pretty sure with those allies of his-"
"They won't be able to find us for months on end." the golden lion interrupted the female hyena. "We're all the way to the Mountain Lands. We only know the shortcuts, whereas Kion would have to face moons to find us. Also, Janja most likely won't even love you, for he have failed your legacy many times."
"Fine," The female hyena gave in with some hesitation. She didn't like the fact that she would have to kill her lost... child from Scar's region, but it's best to keep him from her boss's wrath. Plus, she have been disappointed he have failed in all those missions throughout the years because of one lion. She had seen Kion and Janja fight and always did that pathetic lion and grandson of Mufasa win.
"Good, I can see you're now convince." He smirked at her. "You should be prepared for tomorrow." Hyenas started gathering around to stare at their boss as he jumped on top of the ledge.
"Are you sure this will even wor-" One hyena came beside Shenzi, rubbing shoulders with her. He also have grayish in his black hyena mane, but yet it's slightly shorter.
The golden lion smirked evilly. "Fear not, Banzai, I have a plan."
Lion: They thought I was dead...
But very soon will see
The shock as I rise from the dead
So triumphantly
I never thought I'd have this chance
Oh, how long it's been
A opportunity for revenge
And nevertheless I'll win
For I have a plan
Shenzi: Enlighten us now
Lion: Yes I have a plan
Shenzi: We wanna know how
Lion: Follow my lead, that's all you need
Yes I have a plan
We'll gather more resourceful allies
Unify them all under my lead
And once our league is assembled
We will be victorious
It'll be glorious
All the Pride Lands' lush terrain
Will be my domain
For I have a plan
Shenzi: We know it's true
Lion: Yes, I have a plan
That's what we'll do
Follow my lead, that's all you need
I have a plan
Yes I have a plan!
We love your scheme
I have a plan!
Follow my lead, that's all you need
Yes, I have a plan!
"So you see Shenzi, Banzai, we have a bunch of resources and teamwork, now get some rest." the golden lion finished, his smile growing crooked. It's now time to lure Kion into his game and do some manipulation to see if Prince Kion is enough to lead his allies and fight wars.
"Yes, boss," Shenzi nodded, as the hyenas disembarked ready for another long day tomorrow.
The golden lion smirked as he headed inside of an nearby dark den. He walked up to a peach young lioness and nuzzled against her softly. "Hey, my dear, how is the growing cub?" the golden lion questioned.
"Ugh! I'm good," the peach lioness told him.
"Watch your tone of words," the golden lion says with a laugh, rubbing against her neck softly. "I have place that cub inside of you. And if I remember that night, Vitani, you'd enjoyed the process."
"You are a sick lion..." She beginned stonely.
To that, the golden lion only smile wickly at her. He have such an chilling smile that made the young peach lioness with purple eyes and markings shivered. "Which is why you love me." He finished coldly.
The young peach lioness sighed. She couldn't reject him even if she'd tried. After they win this war he's planning, she would be Queen of Pride Rock. "Yeah, I guess so." She says softly, softer than she intended.
He licked her on the cheek, purring as he did so. "Remember, your mother and I have some history and only when you saw me again, I've awoken that love inside of you."
"Yeah, I guess so," she says with an soft sigh. Vitani then nuzzle against the golden lion softly and affectionately. He had loved her and never raised an paw to her which is good and prove that he's an great mate for her.
"Now tomorrow is my first turn to my rise of power," the golden lion laughs evilly, baring his teeth yet not in an threatening manner. "We're going to lure Kion out of the Pride Lands and make him chase us."
"There is so many potential screw ups to this plan though," Vitani said. "For the first thing, how do we even know Kion's going to come of the Pride Lands? And second, he may have many more allies than we have saw throughout the years."
"Oh, please, I have examined Kion throughout the years," the golden lion cackled. "He cares for his family and love ones and would do anything for them, even if it costs his life. Also, this may force Kion down my same path. Ever since your brother joined me with his jackals, he is more then glad to play into this game."
The golden lion gave an giant thunderous roar. Seconds later, an brown-coated lion with growing muscles appeared from the entrance. "What do you want?" the figure who just came into the cave questioned narrowing his eyes right at the golden lion.
"Why, quite the rude one are we?" the golden lion again laughed though more hateful. "I need you to lead the hyenas out of these lands tomorrow night and take the shortcut to the Outlands and attack Janja's clan, kill them all, Nuka."
"Very well," the brown-coated lion nodded obediently. He have found this lion two years ago and came to an agreement with him to take down the Pride Lands. "I would do so."
"Good..." the golden lion says darkly once the brown-coated lion was gone. "Atlast, I shall come to power once and for all." He let out an erry laugh.
At last, he would take revenge on those who had abandoned him. His parents abandoned him and left him for dead as an cub around four years ago. His parents, the King and Queen of the Pride Lands, have dared abandoned him and hand his title to a mere inexperience girl who was born a year after him.
He, Prince Kopa, shall at last rise.
A/N: Sorry, can't control myself with the concept of an evil Kopa. I had to do it. Evil Kiara may or may not come in time. But let's be honest, evil Kiara would likely be neutral (atleast in my stories should I do them) because I can't never see her becoming like Scar and Zira. She is a good and caring and sweet lioness out of Kion and Kopa in my opinion. Kion is that one character you can do anything with and that makes him my most favorite character in the Lion King franchise. Funny, how I went from hating him for the movie but watch the entire series for four years and grown a fondness to him.
